The convoy was moving and suddenly stopped.

A sturdy knight in front of him turned his horse back to the first carriage and stooped down to look out the window.

"What do you command?"

An old man's voice came from the car: "How many days are there to get to Nanjing?"

"Back to the old man, it will be seven days as fast as it is and ten days as it is slow, if there is something to delay halfway, it will be difficult to say. ”

"Well, if the carriage is too slow and too late, you can go all the way to Nanjing directly, and after meeting our people there, you will immediately set off for Suzhou, and you must stop the matter before Miss Chen's wedding. ”

"The little one obeys. ”

The knight turned his horse's head, returned to the front of the group, and galloped at full speed.

In the abbot's room of Hanshan Temple in Suzhou, the old abbot looked at the news just now, and his face was gloomy.

"Master, this time the other party doesn't seem to be good, do you want to start the emergency plan?" a young monk stood in front of him and bowed.

The old abbot thought for a while and said, "It's better not to, let's see." At this time, the key is to calm down and not make any mistakes. What do you mean by master?"

"My master can't see through this matter, the only thing I'm worried about is that those people from the Ancestor Protector faction colluded with the Zheng family and used the Zheng family's actions to muddy the water and attract our attention. ”

"Well, this kind of thing should be reported, and we will talk about it when the instructions from above come down, and besides, in Nanjing, you must take care of him. The old abbot muttered.

He doesn't have to take care of it much, he is basically in the Marquis's Mansion every day, and he is followed by Lord Zhou when he goes out, and there are guards arranged in the secret by the palace around him. ”

"Well, remember, no matter what tricks your opponent makes, their focus is still on the target. ”

"The disciple knows, so he will bring the abbot's decree back to tell my master. ”

The young monk bowed, turned around and walked out, and rode a fast horse back to Nanjing Daxiangguo Temple after descending the mountain.

In a Taoist temple on the top of Emei, Murong Yanran looked at it with a roll of paper in her hand, but she couldn't see an expression on her face.

"The Zheng family is so bold that they dare to move their paws to us. ”

Standing beside her stood the little girl whom she often missed, who wore neither a veil nor a mask today, and who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, delicate and handsome, with a slender and graceful figure, and the broken silk was wrapped around her fingers.

"Master, isn't that muddy boy in trouble again, and we have to go down the mountain to save him? The little girl said dissatisfied.

"This has nothing to do with him, he came directly at us, but he is our weakness. Capture the thief and capture the king, do those violent elements of the Zheng family who only know how to kill and rob have this kind of mind? Which nerve did they get wrong?" Murong Yanran was both disdainful and suspicious.

"But anyway, we don't have to go down the mountain to save him?" said the little girl, pouting.

"What's the matter, besides, how did I offend you, you don't want to see him so much. Murong Yanran laughed.

"He always wants to look at my face, how annoying. The little girl said angrily.

"He's just curious, he's not a man of our path, so he's curious about many things. Actually, weren't you like this before, and in the past few years, you have been a teacher, and you can be regarded as slowly entering the Tao. ”

"Well, the disciple is willing to go through the rivers and lakes with the master and sweep away the injustices in the world. The little girl clenched her fists and said.

"It's not easy for us to do our own things, there are too many injustices in the world, we can't manage them. Murong Yanran touched the little girl's face lovingly.

"Then we're not going down?" asked the little girl, looking back.

"Of course, we have to go down the mountain, find a place to hide first, if the Zheng family really dares to make a move, let's wipe out their dens everywhere, just like last time. Murong Yanran said proudly.

"Great, I like it. Last time, our master and apprentice almost cleared the den of the Ancestor Protector Sect in Jiangnan. I'm happy to die. The little girl couldn't help but laugh.

"If you do that this time, if you don't let the Zheng family suffer a big loss, they won't know how powerful we are. In the future, we will nest in Fuzhou, and we will be beaten if we show our heads. ”

Overseas, there are hundreds of thousands of people on a large island, and there are more than a dozen cities.

In one of the largest cities, there is a palace built on a hill, and everyone who passes by bows down to the palace with great reverence.

At this time, in a side hall, a group of people were drinking coconut wine around a round table.

The first person said: "Tell the brothers below, in a few days, we will carry out a clean-up operation against all the Zheng family's merchant ships and pirate ships, including the pirate dens they occupy, this time only for the Zheng family in Fuzhou, not against other families." ”

A man with a striking scar on his face said loudly: "Great Chief, why is it limited to only the Zheng family, none of their eight major families have any good things, so let's just clear them all together." ”

Another middle-aged man with a rather elegant face said: "Lu Han, what you said is easy, once against the eight major families, do we have the strength? Even if we barely fight, we can't bear the casualties of the brothers." ”

"I understand this, but it's just so limited, it's like having a rope tied to my body, and I don't feel comfortable up and down. The scarred man said in a loud voice.

The big leader said lightly: "If you are uncomfortable, you have to obey orders, we must always remember that our duty is to protect the safety of the old man, not to fight pirates." In the past, they were only collected to raise money, but now we don't have much pressure on money, and we must pay special attention to reducing casualties. ”

Lu Han said with a smile: "What are you afraid of when you are injured, don't we have an old man, he is a miracle doctor, what are you afraid of when you are injured, as long as you have a breath, you can be cured as before." ”

"Bastard, the old man is our master, not our doctor. Do you want to deliberately hurt the old man?"

"If we don't get hurt, the old man can't be idle, he changes his clothes every day and goes out to treat people in the city, and it's all free. ”

"That's what the old man likes to do, we can't interfere, but let's not rely on the old man for anything. These are two different things, do you understand?" the big leader looked at all his subordinates coldly.

If the pirates of the Zheng family see the people in this side hall, they will recognize a lot, they are the most mysterious royal organization overseas, specializing in pirates.

In one of the rooms in the main hall, a middle-aged man with gray sideburns was sitting at a table writing a list of medicinal herbs that needed to be bought from the mainland.

In the corner of the room, a little girl was concentrating on practicing Xiaokai.

This middle-aged man and the little girl are the relatives of Guo Zhong, who have been missing for a long time.

They had just learned of their disappearance in Suzhou at that time, and a group of people came in the evening and said that they had taken them away, which was like kidnapping, and that they were in critical condition and that they had to be transferred immediately.

Guo Zhong has fled a lot of times in his life, but every time he or his family has fled, and he has never been led by others on a fleeing journey like this.

However, a jade plaque they brought with them explained the identities of these people, convincing them that they were indeed benevolent and not kidnapped.

Guo Yu left Suzhou crying, she was reluctant to leave this home, and she was reluctant to give up her brother, she wanted to wait for her brother to come back at home, she believed that her brother had not lost it, and he would always return home.

They traveled all the way, suffered a lot, from Suzhou to Fuzhou, then to a large ship, and finally came to the island and lived in this palace.

Along the way, they were exhausted, lacked sleep, intercepted in front, pursued soldiers, and were in danger many times, and finally escaped. On the big ship, they were seasick and vomited and died in the dark, and finally arrived on the island, almost with only one breath left.

Fortunately, Guo Zhong is a miracle doctor, and after he recovered slightly, he asked people to buy some herbs, and the father and daughter drank Chinese medicine for a few days before they slowly recovered.

They met many people one after another, and they couldn't remember all the names of these people, but these people all regarded him as the master, respectfully called him the old man, and called Guo Yu His Royal Highness the princess.

Zhong knew a little about his life experience, but he didn't know everything comprehensively, so he asked these people what was going on, but these people didn't know as much as him, but he just said that all this was arranged by the above, and the old man just had to enjoy happiness and recuperation in the palace, and he didn't have to worry about a little leisure.

Guo Yu didn't think much about these rough men calling her princess, thinking that these uncles liked her and doted on her, so they called her like that.

Guo Zhong wears a dragon robe in the palace every day, wears a flat crown on his head, and his feet are also embroidered with golden dragon boots.

He doesn't like these things very much, and he doesn't like this kind of life, and he prefers to treat people every day in that old house in Suzhou. After a few days, he fully recovered, and he couldn't be idle, so he changed into civilian clothes every day and went out secretly, renting a small shop in the city to treat people.

There are not many local natives in this city, and most of the natives live in the rainforest, and they are rarely seen. The people in the city are basically poor people who have migrated from the interior, and some of them have been shipwrecked at sea and are lucky enough to drift to the island or rescued by the island's ships, so they simply settled in the city.

The people in the city come from many places, and the dialects are even more diverse, but fortunately, Guo Zhong has traveled to many places to practice medicine, and he can distinguish some dialects, and there is not much obstacle in talking to these people.

The people in the city also thought that he had wandered to the island by accident, and relied on medical treatment to raise money to return to the mainland, but the clock was free of charge to many poor people, and the medical skills were extremely high, and slowly the whole city knew that there was a miracle doctor for the benefit of the people.

The name he used on the island was Zhu Zhong, which was his real name, but no one knew it in the interior. Guo Yu also reverted to his real name Zhu Yu.

As for whether this is a surname that has really been handed down from his ancestors, Guo Zhong doesn't know, but he just remembers that in the last two generations, it is indeed the surname Zhu, and he doesn't know about the last three generations.

She doesn't like the girls in the palace, she treats her like a daughter, she can't enjoy this kind of dignity.

Slowly, the father and daughter fully integrated into the life of the city.

They are also used to it, but they still think about the inland, Suzhou, and what it is like there.
