When people are angry, there is always a desire to destroy violence, and that plaque did not provoke me, but I smashed it, which is about a manifestation of the kicking cat effect. I took a deep breath, calmed down, and left Jinling City overnight.

When Zhang Youqian saw my gloomy face, he knew that the trip was not going well, and asked, how is it?

I sighed and briefly told Zhang Youqian what happened after entering the city, including the death of the emperor and Xie Junyan's entry into Beijing. Zhang Youqian was surprised, in this way, won't Wu Saburo become the new emperor in the future? I shook my head and said, now that the five major feudal kings have entered Beijing to pay their filial piety, it is not certain who will die in the future.

Zhang Youqian said that having said that, if there is Xie Junyan's support, it is another matter.

I deeply believe that if today, there are only a handful of military counterbalances against Xie Junyan, and they are all in the Stygian Mountain, those few vassal kings, even if they have thousands of troops and horses, in Xie Junyan's eyes, they are just clowns who jump off the beam, and they can't set off any storms. Now Xu Ruonan is unconscious and has entered a wonderful realm. If you want to save her, you can only go to the capital to find Xie Junyan, or meet the descendants of Doctor Xue, maybe you can come up with some way.

It seems that there is only one trip to the capital.

The next day, Zhang Youqian found Lin Hongyi back, Lin Hongyi was waiting for Zhang Youqian in Jinling City, and now the West Gate has stolen the heavenly relics, and the dispute between the Holy Gate and the Immortal Gate has also come to an end, Lin Hongyi has nothing to do, and he will return to Beijing with Zhang Youqian. Now that Xu Ruonan is in a coma, it is a little inconvenient for the two of us men to take care of her, so we asked Lin Hongyi to take care of this matter.

Time was pressing, and in order to prevent the road from being bumpy, Zhang Youqian spent a lot of money to buy a horse-drawn carriage, and that morning, we drove north. That night, we arrived at Yangzhou City, because we were wanted, although there were many routes, but just in case, we still did not invest in the store, and settled down outside the city.

At night, I was staring at the night sky by the stream. Lin Hongyi was taking care of Xu Ruonan in the carriage, Zhang Youqian came over, handed over a pot of wine and a piece of dried meat, and said, you haven't eaten for two days, so you should use some. I shook my head and said I wasn't hungry.

Zhang Youqian persuaded, I know you are not happy, but the journey is far away, as the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you are hungry, even if you are strong in martial arts, but if you go on like this, I am afraid that you will not wait until the capital, you will collapse yourself, and when you meet Xie Junyan's little lady, you will really start to do it, and we will suffer.

I just took the wine jug, drank it all, swept away the depressed breath that had accumulated for several days, and said, when I arrived in the capital, no matter what, I would force Xie Junyan to wake up Xu Ruonan, otherwise, the two of us would be incompatible. Zhang Youqian said, Lao Su, I've known you for so long, you have sighed more times in the past two days than in two years, I have never seen you so depressed, where is the pride of the past?

I let out a long sigh, and to be honest, I didn't know what to do.

Zhang Youqian said, don't worry, when I get to the capital, even if I turn the capital over, I will find a way to cure Sect Master Xu.

I am grateful, Zhang Youqian, in this life, I have handed over you as a good brother, it is worth it!

Zhang Youqian laughed, and said something extraordinary, I am most afraid of hypocrisy, I help you because we are good brothers, you say this kind of thing, it will be a little angry. Come, eat something first, and then have the strength to fight when you are full.

I breathed a sigh of relief and barely ate something.

From the second day, we sped up the pace, Zhang Youqian and I took turns to catch the car, and when we were tired, we rested on the rafters of the car, day and night. The farther north I went, the more I met many displaced people who had fled and moved south. I felt strange and asked what was going on.

Zhang Youqian parked the carriage on the side of the road, took out some wine and meat, handed it to an old man who had fled, and asked, old man, what happened?

The old man was smoking dry cigarettes, his face was full of wind and dust, and said, What's the matter?

Where to fight?

Later, after chatting, I learned that the old man was from Jinan, Shandong. After Zhu Wuneng's death, the five major feudal kings led their troops into Beijing one after another, nominally to hang filial piety, but in fact to covet the throne. The two vassal kings of Zhongshan King Jing and King Yong, on the way to Beijing, were crossed north of the Yellow River from Jinan Mansion, but King Jing crossed the river one step ahead and stopped King Yong's soldiers and horses south of the Yellow River, and the two princes actually fought.

Now, the soldiers and horses of the two sides confront each other on both sides of the Yellow River, the two sides have fought several times, and they have won and lost each other, but the soldiers and horses of King Yong can not cross the river, so they are stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, so that the surrounding people are suffering, these soldiers and horses are robbed in the villages along the way in order to supply, but the government is afraid that the soldiers and horses of the vassal king are afraid of it, and they dare not stop it, which invisibly fuels their arrogance. The people were overwhelmed, so they dragged their families south to escape the war.

I said that if this is the case, if I want to cross the river, I am afraid it will be a bit of trouble.

The old man said, that may not be.

I even asked what to do, but the old man was silent, looking at us with blank eyes, Zhang Youqian saw this, took out a gold leaf from his arms and handed it over, and said, "It's okay for the old man to talk about it."

The old man took the gold leaf, bit it hard, and left two imprints on the gold, and then put the gold leaf into his arms, and said, It's not that the old man is greedy for a few taels of silver, but now that he is going south, he urgently needs two taels of silver......

Zhang Youqian interrupted, and the old man still said directly how to cross the Yellow River.

The old man said, thirty miles north from here, there is a mountain called Erlong Mountain, there are several strong men living on the mountain, they have boats under their hands, and they can help people smuggle across the Yellow River, but well, things may be a little difficult to do.

I asked how difficult it was.

The old man said that they lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and if they really wanted to cross the river, I am afraid it would cost a lot of money.

Zhang Youqian said that the problems that can be solved with silver are not a problem.

We said goodbye to the old man, continued to go north, and encountered several waves of fleeing people along the way, and after a little inquiry, we arrived at the foot of Erlong Mountain in less than half a day.

This so-called Erlong Mountain, but a 200-meter-high mound, from the top and bottom, only to see a dilapidated flag erected on it, "Erlong Mountain" three words, fluttering in the wind on the flagpole. In the rivers and lakes of Xiaosheng, there is no record of this Erlong Mountain, it should be a sect that has only been established recently, I thought.

Someone spotted us at the top of the mountain, and before long a dozen or so people came down from the top of the mountain and surrounded us in the middle of the carriage.

The leader shouted, "Who is coming?" and what is the intention?

I even got off the car, took two steps forward, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, reported the name, the road, under the surname Su, and these friends want to cross the river, I heard that there are capable people in Erlongshan, I came to see, I want to cross the river, in order to express my gratitude, we have our own silver two offering, but also ask all the heroes, a convenient!

In that case, let's go up the mountain to meet the two masters.

The mountain was not steep, and we drove the carriage up the hill to the top of the mountain, and the minions went to tell me, and after a while, they said, You can go in.

Lin Hongyi was holding Xu Ruonan, and Zhang Youqian and I followed the minions to the hall of Erlongshan. If you talk about martial arts, I'm afraid that these people's martial arts, I can destroy them with even one hand, but now I have to follow them obediently.

These robbers of Erlong Mountain, ragged and hungry, most of them do not know martial arts, it seems that they were good citizens before, and they were forced to go to Erlong Mountain. As the saying goes, the prosperous times produce talents, and the troubled times produce rogues. I was thinking about it, but I heard someone ask, who wants to cross the river?

I heard the familiar voice, and hurriedly walked a few steps, but I saw a man and a woman sitting on two chairs in the middle of the hall.

When the two of them saw me, they were also very surprised, Brother Su?
