Under the sunset, Fang Xuanling was also worried.

When he came out of Zhang's mansion, he only felt that Chang'an City was enclosed in an endless net, and he couldn't find anyone who set up the net. The people around him seemed to have changed, and he didn't know who else to trust besides Keming.

He thought to himself, and suddenly the little guy exclaimed, and the jujube red horse was also frightened. Fang Xuanling raised his head, and saw several black-clothed masked people turning around beside him, holding daggers and stabbing straight at him.

Fang Xuanling panicked, and immediately turned over and dismounted to dodge. One of the burly men in black approached, the dagger in his hand neatly and neatly, straight to the burden that straddled his shoulders.

"Who are you?" Fang Xuanling asked nonsense.

The man in black picked up the burden and took it into his hands. Then, a fierce tiger went down the mountain and slashed straight at Fang Xuanling.

"My life, rest. Fang Xuanling wailed in his heart, closed his eyes, and only regretted that he didn't explain it clearly to his eldest son before going out. But the pain did not appear for a long time, but someone laughed and said: "What a bold man, dare to assassinate the court officials at the foot of the world." ”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly opened his eyes, and found that they were two young men, dressed in round-necked bearded clothes, standing long at the entrance of this alley, with the long sword in his hand glowing with cold moonlight. The right arm of the black-clothed man who had taken off the burden before was weakly hanging down, and the smell of blood was in the air.

"Fang Xiangguo, are you alright?" another young man helped him up.

The little guy hurriedly crawled over to sort out his clothes for him, Fang Xuanling's heart was pounding, but after experiencing a lot of wind and waves, he still stabilized himself, stood up straight, and said: "Thank you Xiaolangjun for saving me, the old man is fine." ”

"Fang Xiangguo is polite, my son-in-law asked me to tell Fang Xiangguo, the fear dog jumped over the wall and bit you. But they couldn't hold their breath like this, and they started biting on the street. The boy said.

"Who is your son-in-law?" asked Fang Xuanling.

"Hedong Zhang's. The young man replied, and then a group of officers and soldiers poured out from another place, and they directly arrested the black-clothed men together. Two of them committed suicide immediately, and the other few were arrested by the officers and soldiers patrolling the night and taken to the prison because of the timely control.

Several teenagers escorted Fang Xuanling home, and said to Fang Xuanling: "My son-in-law said that Fang Xiangguo is always an upright person, and there are few private guards at home. However, now that he has provoked the cow, ghost, snake and god, there must be someone with bad intentions. He also implored Fang Xiangguo to allow Gongzi to send someone to protect him. ”

Fang Xuanling thought of the attack just now, and said, "You guys are resting in Fang Mansion for the time being." Tomorrow, I'll talk to your son-in-law, okay?"

The three teenagers nodded, and then greeted Fang Zhizhi.

Fang Yizhi frowned slightly, and said: "It turned out to be Zhang Yue, Zhang Mei, and Zhang Yun, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The three of them all laughed and said, "Childe also considers that we are old acquaintances with Master Fang. That's why we were sent to protect Fang Xiangguo. ”

"Then there are three of them. Fang Yi smiled straightly, and then said, "I'm going to see my father, he is very old, and he must be frightened by this." ”

The three of them nodded, and they all stood in the courtyard, watching the movement of the house.

In the study, Fang Xuanling was sitting, frightened. Fang Zhizhi stepped forward lightly and shouted in a low voice, "Father." ”

Fang Xuanling glanced up at him and shouted, "Zhizhi, you're here." ”

"Yes, father, didn't you enter the palace today? Why are you so late? What's going on with this Zhang Mansion?" asked Fang Zhizhi. When his father hurriedly entered the palace, he knew that the situation was serious, but the king of Shu was not in Chang'an, and he could not move around without an official position. So he could only wait anxiously at home.

Now that his father was escorted back by the Zhang brothers, he was even more puzzled. This Zhang brother once had a relationship with him. At that time, they were still young, and the world was not the world of His Majesty today. Several of them played together, and the three Zhang brothers said that they had good qualifications and were going to participate in the selection of the patriarch. After that, for more than ten years, there was no news, but I didn't expect to see it here today.

Fang Cai, suddenly saw, he still couldn't believe it. But the three of them laughed, and the mole between their eyebrows was the same, and he confirmed it. Just looking at the appearance and speech of the three people, the three of them have never become patriarchs, but their gestures seem to have been reborn.

Fang Xuanling drank a glass of water, remembering that if Fang had just died, the two children would still not know it. In the past, he wanted to protect his two children, so that they would not get involved in officialdom and just be idle marginal officials. But now, the Fang family can't dodge.

"Well, I wanted to protect you. Now, others won't let me go. As the eldest son of the Fang family, you should know. Fang Xuanling motioned for his son to sit down.

Fang Yi sat down straight, and Fang Xuanling told him everything about it.

"They don't want you to investigate the Dugu family. Fang Yu said directly.

"There must be a big conspiracy in this, but fortunately, Zhang Jia had expected that these people were arrested. Or maybe something else happened. Fang Xuanling felt that he had played a conspiracy all his life, but now he knew that he was in a conspiracy, but he just didn't know who did this conspiracy and what this conspiracy was.

Fang Yizhi was silent for a long time, and said, "Father, I guess these people are the same people who poisoned Dugu Sinan. They couldn't poison it, and now they want to get the possible information in your hands. They may still want to go to Zhang's Mansion, but the Hedong Zhang family is not in vain, and they don't dare to set foot in Zhang's Mansion easily. ”

"Nope. They will definitely go too. Fang Xuanling listened to his eldest son's analysis and was immediately determined.

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and Fang Xuanling continued: "They dare to poison the palace, and dare to kill important ministers of the court in broad daylight, which shows that their situation is worrying. Someone has set up a bureau that has cornered them. Then, it's nothing for them to test the Zhang clan in Hedong. Even if you fail, you can also explore the bottom of the Hedong Zhang family, after all, over the years, the Hedong Zhang family has been very low-key, and the people in the dynasty are not descendants of the clan. ”

"Well, it's possible. Fang Yizhi suddenly realized, and then fell into confusion, and said, "If it is really the eldest grandson's family." This kind of action is exactly falling into the game, the eldest grandson Wuji is scheming, how can he make such a mistake?"

"The tree is a big wind. The eldest grandson family worked hard and operated for a long time. The clan is intertwined, how can it be that the eldest grandson Wuji alone can control it? This poisoning and killing me is not the style of the eldest grandson Wuji. In this analysis, Fang Xuanling gradually calmed down, and the previous pessimism slowly disappeared.

He became more and more aware that in this game, the chaos of the eldest grandson clan was the most powerful weapon against the eldest grandson clan.

"But the eldest grandson Wuji is an old fox, and this time he has fallen behind, and there must be a follow-up move. Fang Yu said directly.

"Even if there is a follow-up move, it is useless, once Your Majesty awakens now, the good days of the eldest grandson clan will come to an end. Your Majesty, heh, there are too few people who can see through him. Fang Xuanling smiled sarcastically, then stood up, straightened his clothes, and said solemnly, "Zhizhi, you quickly go to Ahe, go to General Chai's mansion, visit Chai Lingwu, and talk about asking Doctor Wang to treat Du Shangshu." ”

Fang Yu directly received his father's order and went straight to Du Ruhui's mansion to find Du He and seek medical treatment.

Fang Xuanling's analysis was really correct. A quarter of an hour before he was stabbed, it was the time for the Zhang Mansion to eat. Someone sneaked into Zhang Jia's study, and then was trapped inside.

Zhang's guards came to tell him, Zhang Jia ate slowly, and said casually: "Are you guarding outside the study, and you are still here to disturb me to eat?"

The guards who came to pay their respects blushed and didn't know what to do.

Zhang Jia waved his hand and said, "Go and guard, what if there are one or two more clever ones who can get out of the formation?"

The guards then hurried away. Zhang Jia finished eating, drank another pot of tea, and waited for the sunset to completely lose its brilliance. In the middle of the moon, he ordered someone to hold the lamp, and the entire courtyard was brightly lit.

He was dressed in white and black-haired, standing barefoot on the bluestone slab of the courtyard, and the guards entered the study and brought out the person who had sneaked into the study. Four corpses, one dying, looked terrified.

"Tension, leave it to you, I'm tired. Zhang Jia glanced at those people.

"Yes. The guard replied aloud, then smiled at the frightened-looking man, "You'd better say everything." Otherwise, if you ask someone from the Zhang clan to ask you to speak, the process will be very sad. ”

The man was even more frightened, trembling all over, and opened his mouth in a sharp voice: "Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly kill, kill." ”

"What a fuss. Zhang Li pouted.

Zhang Jia, who had been walking for a while, suddenly stopped and said, "Zhang Li, you talk too much." ”

Zhang Li covered his mouth, and immediately took the man away.

Zhang Jia carried the lantern alone, went to the small courtyard in the depths of the mansion, gently opened the firewood, and slowly walked in. This is where he lived with his father and mother in his previous life, and it is also a place where she often comes to visit.

He stood in the hall and watched the place where she sat and waited for food every time she came. Unconsciously, his eyes softened, but there was an indescribable pain in his heart. He stared blankly at the futon on that side, looked at it for a long time, he smiled self-deprecatingly, put the lantern on the table next to him, and then sat down, seriously thinking about the layout of this Chang'an City, how to avoid long nights and dreams.

He wants this Chang'an City to be clear and clear, and no one will target Ah Zhi. He wants Ah Zhi to cry or laugh, and do whatever he wants.

"Ah Zhi, I will clean this Chang'an City for you. What cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, ghosts, and ghosts, they are all swept away. Zhang Jia pursed his lips, looked at the clear glow of the moonlight, and said silently.

And in the Lost Mountain, Qin Shubao woke up slowly, endured the pain all over his body, and was furious. The guards of the Jiang Mansion waited for Qin Shubao to finish his anger before he said slowly: "We are ordered to protect the general and the general's wife, and we also ask the general not to make any extraneous branches, and wait here for my master to return." ”

"Your master?" Qin Shubao couldn't help but glance at the woman.

The woman was dressed in black, with a bow and arrows on her back, leather boots and leather pants, and she was very capable.

"The Nine Girls are our masters. Our duty is to protect the Nine Girls and listen to the command of the Nine Girls. The woman replied.

"As far as I know, the Ninth Girl has been stationed in Luoshui Grange since she was a child, how can there be such an agile guard as you?" Qin Shubao asked sharply.

The woman's expression was calm, and she said slowly: "The King of Shu trained us to protect the nine girls one day. ”

When Qin Shubao heard this answer, he stopped talking. The King of Shu has met immortals in his dream since he was a child, which is not a secret in the Qin Palace, coupled with what he did to marry Yang Azhi, few people in this court now do not know about the encounter with immortals in the dream of King Shu.

When people meet immortals in their dreams, the fairy violates the rules of heaven in order to save his father and is demoted to the mortal world. It is not uncommon for him to search for and train many people to guard it with their hearts.

"General, it's cold in the mountains, and your body is not suitable for running. A woman in green next to her said softly.

"Yes. This is a disciple of Divine Doctor Wang, and he has already diagnosed your pulse before. Mrs. Qin hurriedly said.

Qin Shubao was silent, and only asked his subordinates if they knew anything about the terrain of Lost Mountain. The subordinates were silent, and after a long time, a black-faced young man stepped forward and said, "General Hui, we followed your orders and followed the escort of the Nine Girls into the mountain. The situation in this mountain is very strange, therefore..."

"That's it. If the ninth girl can make such an arrangement, she must have planned it in advance. Let's wait a few days. Qin Shubao sighed, and his whole body hurt terribly.

The girl in green was named Bauhinia, and she hurriedly gave Uncle Qin a needle. After a while, Qin Shubao slowly fell asleep.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qin breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the bright moonlight outside the cave, she was very worried about the stubborn girl.

"Zijing, you say, is your girl sure?" asked Mrs. Qin.

Zijing, who looked tired, smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry. There is nothing that my girl can't do. ”

Madame Qin felt a little confident in her heart, but she was still very worried when she looked at the towering and undulating mountains in the distance. The mountains looked like huge beasts in the moonlight, and it was terrifying.

And in the depths of Lost Mountain, Jiang Chengzi rested in a cave led by the white phoenix bird.

From the beginning of separating from Qin Shubao and his party, the people she brought followed her all the way to the march. She has a lot of energy and doesn't feel tired. If she's alone, it doesn't matter if it's day and night. But the people who followed her, as well as the white phoenix bird, Yunge, and eagle who led the way, were tired. What's more, the purpose of her trip is not only to bring back Liang Shidu's head, but also to bring back the route map of the road in Lost Mountain.

Therefore, at dusk, Jiang Chengzi asked Yun Ge to negotiate with the white phoenix bird, asking if there was a cave or something like a place for people to rest nearby. The white phoenix bird was the king of the birds in the mountain, and after a while, it was said that there was a cave not far ahead.

Li Nan hurriedly sent someone to explore first, it was a cave. After lighting torches to make sure that there were no poisonous insects and beasts in the cave, they used charcoal to dehumidify and expel all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants.

The people in Jinyun's belt are responsible for lighting a fire and cooking. Jiang Chengzi sat by the stream, broke the reeds, and fished with grasshoppers.

"Girl, the routes you have taken have been roughly marked. After Li Nan settled everything, he came up to report. This time, Li Ke sent him to follow the Nine Girls deep into the Lost Mountain, also because the people in the Absolute Land are good at exploring the way and drawing maps.

"Hmm. Thank you for this. Jiang Chengzi said.

"As long as you can ensure the safety of your son, it's not hard. Li Nan is still used to calling the King of Shu his son. He will always remember the peaceful eyes of a little child when he rescued him from despair.

At that time, he calmly asked, "Will you follow me?"

Li Nan was originally a dying man, and he saved him. At that moment, the King of Shu was his world. He nodded firmly and said, "I do." ”

From then on, he was not afraid of hard work, learned all kinds of skills, and always wanted to protect that little child and be qualified to stand by his side.

Jiang Chengzi turned his head and smiled at him, and said, "The King of Shu is so loyal to you, a great blessing. ”

"The girl won the prize. Li Nan lowered his head. I only felt that a heart was pounding, and the sunset at dusk shone obliquely down from the mountain, and the fog in the mountain surged, which was very mysterious.

The green-clothed girl has clear eyes, her eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and her smile is intoxicating. Li Nan once thought about what kind of person could be worthy of his own glorious son, but when he saw the nine girls, he knew that there was really a match made in heaven under the whole world. The grace and bearing are so similar. It's just that when these nine girls don't laugh, they are as peaceful as a pool of autumn water, and this smile is enough to captivate the city.

That's right, it's what the poem says, "A smile captivates the city, and then a smile captivates the country." Li Nan's thoughts fluctuated, and he didn't dare to look up at her anymore.

Jiang Chengzi saw that he was very restrained, and he didn't have the previous calmness at all, and felt very bored, so he urged him to rest, and then turned around and continued fishing.

Li Nan responded, stood for a moment, watched the girl in green calmly pull the rod, put a fish caught on a lotus leaf, and greeted softly: "Bai Feng, come, taste it." ”

As if he understood, the white phoenix bird came over and ate the palm-sized fish very gracefully, then flapped its wings and rubbed its head against the girl. The girl laughed, touched Bai Feng's head, and said, "You know how to be polite better than Yun Ge." ”

"Where am I ignorant? I've worked hard. Ah Zhi, you are eccentric. Yun Ge was indignant, jumped over the grass on the side, and landed on the girl's shoulder.

"Don't make a fuss, scare away the fish, what grilled fish will you eat in a while. The girl said softly.

Li Nan only felt that the voice was thin and soft, like spring water in the spring when the sun was shining, trickling and flowing. He felt his heart beat uncontrollably, and hurriedly turned around and returned to the entrance of the cave.

Jin Yun, who was checking the equipment, looked at him differently and asked, "What's wrong?"

The parrot actually spoke. Li Nan casually took Yun Ge to block it.

Jinyun glanced at him and said, "What's so strange." You don't know it can speak. ”

"I, I've seen it before. I don't know if it can speak. Li Nan said.

Jinyun was also a stuffy gourd, so he just let out a sigh and continued to check the items.

Although Jiang Chengzi was fishing, he was actually absent-minded. She remembers Li Ke, and even more remembers her father who fought in the capital. She wished that she could use some teleportation spell to see these two men who were very important to her.

"Father, Ah Nian, you all have to be well. She thought silently, and the fishing rod in her hand was broken.
