Honglu Pass.

Zhuo Hua and his party were surrounded by a cheering crowd and came to the city square, where there were already lights and feasts, just like the New Year. The general at the head raised his glass and said, "Wang Shuang, the general of the contemptible Zhenbei, has come here to remove the beast plague for more than half a year after the monarch's order. Helplessly, the mountain giant beast had rough skin and thick flesh, and the hole was powerful, and ordinary swords could not hurt its lifeline. Therefore, the only way to do this was to repair the city walls and evacuate the people. A few days ago, Xunyang came to envoy and said that there were brave warriors in northern Xinjiang, and they unveiled the list of peaceful troubles. Today, we are fortunate to meet the warriors, the brilliance is abnormal, and we are very honored. The more General Wang spoke, the more excited he became, and most of the wine in the cup he was holding had already shaken out.

Jiaomu Jiao bowed down and saluted: "Saving the people of Li from fire and water is the duty of the cultivators of my generation, and the general praised it. ”

General Wang waved his hand: "Lin Gongzi is too modest, this general has sent the good news to Xunyang on a fast horse, and I believe that there will be a special envoy of the monarch to reward the three armies soon." Come, come, drink, drink. ”

Jiaomu Jiao laughed and leaned his neck for a while.

Zhuo Hua got up to toast the general, and pretended to ask inadvertently: "General Wang has worked hard to defend the city, and this time he should be credited with the first credit." But I don't know why this beast of the wilderness slaughtered the border pass?

General Wang was already slightly drunk, took Zhuo Hua's hand and said: "Zhuo Gongzi doesn't know, a few months ago, a purple-clothed woman came to this Honglu Pass, saying that there was a Rui beast who wanted to dedicate it to the monarch, so we escorted this woman to the national capital along with the little Kaishan beast, but I didn't expect that within a few days, this giant beast came." We also organized an army to go out of the city to encircle and suppress it, but ordinary weapons could not hurt it, so we could only withdraw all the people outside the city into the pass, and the walls were cleared. But this giant beast somehow did not give up, and it did not stop for months. I sent a letter to the king, hoping that he would return the cubs to the giant beast to relieve the beast's trouble, but for some reason, they all sank into the sea and were not heard from. ”

Zhuo Hua already knew a lot in his heart after hearing this, and the next day he led everyone to bid farewell to General Wang and return to Xunyang, the national capital. Before leaving, Zhuo Hua left the magic weapon Green Oriole Mirror to General Wang, and instructed him to use the light of this mirror to illuminate the eyes of the giant beast when the mountain beast came again, so that the giant beast could not distinguish the direction and postpone the attack on the city. Zhuo Hua will definitely explain the situation to the monarch and bring back the cubs.

On the way back, Qin Ying asked Zhuo Hua: "Why does this monarch ignore the life and death of the people and leave this young beast behind?" Lao Jiao accosted: "This old king must have some ulterior secrets. Qin Ying rolled her eyes and said, "I still need you to say this." ”

Zhuo Hua slowed down the reins and let the horse slow down. He turned back to them and said, "The scars on this giant beast are related to the Dark Clan, presumably the woman in purple fought a battle with the mother Kaishan Beast when she was catching cubs, and the top priority is to return to Xunyang and find out the ins and outs of the woman in purple." The stakes are too high for you to take lightly. Seeing Zhuo Hua's serious expression, everyone hurriedly put away their smiles and fell silent.

A few days later, Zhuo Hua and his party entered Xunyang. When the king learned that they were young beasts, he kept them out of the palace gates. Zhuo Hua begged to see him for several days without success, and the guards' reply was either that the monarch was ill or that the monarch was receiving foreign envoys, and then simply ordered the soldiers to drive them away. Where did Lao Jiao suffer from such a wretched spirit, and said: "Yuan Shang will take them back to the post station first, and I will go back when I go." And one of them flew into the king's house. Zhuo Hua shook his head and returned to the post station with the women.

When they arrived at the post station, they heard a noise outside after a cup of tea, and Lao Jiao tied up the monarch and came to the post station. With a bang, the monarch was slammed at Zhuo Hua's feet, just looking at the monarch's messy bun, wearing only a shirt, barefoot, he should have been dragged out of the couch by Lao Jiao, although he was dressed in disarray, but there was no fear on his face, he was still expressionless, staring at Zhuo Hua coldly.

Zhuo Hua stepped forward to help the monarch and said, "I have something to ask you, it is related to the lives of the people in the world, and I hope that the monarch will tell you the truth." Afterwards, Zhuo Hua deserved to be punished. The king had no intention of opening his mouth. Zhuo Hua then asked, "Dare to ask your lord, is the little beast sent a few months ago still alive?" "Do you know why the Kaishan Beast is attacking the city?" The monarch looked at Zhuo Hua and said indifferently: "For the sake of the young beast." The crowd was in an uproar. Zhuo Hua waved his hand to silence them, and then asked, "Why don't you send the young beast back to relieve the suffering of the people in the frontier?" ”

It turned out that Princess Guangping suffered from a strange disease since she was a child, as long as she sweated, she would have pain in her heart and mouth and even faint, she visited famous doctors all over the world, tried various prescriptions to no avail, and in recent years, the attacks have become more and more frequent, and the imperial doctor in the palace is expected to have little time. Just a few months ago, a woman in purple said that there was a way to save the princess. "What's the solution?" Su Xin couldn't hold back. The king didn't even look at her, and continued: "On the night of the full moon, take the blood of the young beast of the mountain as a medicine, and take it with the medicine she has prepared, and you will be cured. As he spoke, his eyes kept staring at Zhuo Hua.

"Nirvana wishes. Zhuo Hua was shocked.

"Do you want your daughter to try this method?" Qin Ying asked. The monarch glanced at Jing Muqian and snorted, "Exactly." ”

"Then you don't care about your people?" Lao Jiao clenched his fists viciously.

"What does this have to do with you?" the monarch smiled contemptuously, "I have said everything that needs to be said, and you will either let me go back or kill me here." With that, he stepped forward and prepared to go out.

Lao Jiao and Su Xin wanted to step forward to stop them, but Zhuo Hua waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency, please go back, I'm offended." ”

The monarch turned around, glanced at Zhuo Hua in a meaningful voice, turned around and left quickly.

Half a pillar of incense, the Imperial Forest Army surrounded the station, saying that they were assassins plotting to assassinate the monarch and wanted to arrest us.

Jiaomu Jiao said: "Yuanshang, you go first, let me clean up these stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs." ”

Qin Ying shook his head and said, "This matter is not so simple, I always feel that this monarch is very strange, but for a while, I can't figure out what is wrong." As soon as we leave like this, it will be even more difficult to come back to investigate, don't forget, this matter is related to the Dark Clan, and the cure method described by the monarch just now is the Nirvana Blessing for the royal family of the Dark Clan. ”

Zhuo Yun put down the burden he was packing, and said weakly: "If we don't leave, will we go to prison with them? How can Yuanjun go to that kind of place?"

Su Xin disagreed, and said with a smile: "They know that they can't help us, the reason why they are besieging here is just a gesture, and after a while, they will just catch a few beggars and go back to pay for errands, where do we need to go in person? You stupid girl." ”

"No, we'll go with them. Zhuo Hua walked out of the room under the surprised gaze of everyone.

That kind of look has been firmly engraved on Zhuo Hua's heart, and Zhuo Hua can't help but ask himself if Lanling is back?
