In March of the year of Bingshen, the lonely country -

At midnight, the sky was just dawning, and there were hardly any people to be seen on the streets of the entire lonely capital. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info there is still half an hour before the morning market opens, so when a few people ride a horse to escort a carriage through the market, it is particularly eye-catching.

Aunt Zhang, who was at the steamed bun shop on the side of the road, opened the door and poured out a basin of water, thinking to herself, "With such a beautiful carriage rushing early in the morning, could it be that the young lady of which family is going to marry or not?" Then she shook her head, she was worried about her daughter's marriage these days, but she couldn't look at anyone as if she was going to get married! If you have time to think about this, you might as well think about how to sell a few more drawers of steamed buns.

The people in the carriage would never know what Aunt Steamed Bun was thinking.

However, when he heard the sound of splashing water, a young man in white in the car stretched his waist, lifted the curtain of the car and glanced out, seeing that the carriage was about to pass through the market and head towards the inner city where officials and even the royal family gathered, he suddenly spoke very energetically:

"It's time for another cup of tea...... Wu Mian, go to the palace to report a message first. ”

"Yes, Childe. A man on the right side of the carriage answered, and then rode his horse first.

The Lonely State is the second largest of the five kingdoms, but it is more prosperous than the vast Dimension State, and similar to the third largest Constant Kingdom in terms of area. Since Emperor Xian ended the civil strife in the isolated country, he gradually created a prosperous situation, and then Emperor Xuan has governed the country in an orderly manner, and the people in all counties have lived a prosperous life.

If there is any shortcoming, it is that the royal blood of the lonely country is slightly thin.

Emperor Yun Hao had three sons. Xuanhuang Yuan Zhao is the second son of Emperor Xian, this Chinese New Year's Eve is five years old, and there is only one three-year-old son Yixuan. When Emperor Xian and Empress passed away, the third son Yuan Han was still in infancy, so Yuan Han was taken into Prince Gong's mansion by Emperor Xian's eldest son Gong Wang Yuan Xia since he was a child, and was raised by his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Speaking of Gong Wang Yuanxia, he is a very talented civil and military all-rounder, but it is a pity that he was martyred by the Yi general Chang Li when he fought with Yi five years ago. Princess Gong Helian Ling married into the lonely country as the county lord, she is a loving woman, plus she grew up on the grassland, she has a warlike character in her bones, not afraid of heaven and earth, unwilling to die for the villain's calculations, so she sneaked into the country of Yi alone to assassinate Chang Li. Emperor Jing of Yi used this as an excuse to threaten to declare war on the lonely country. Helian Ling couldn't bear to burden the people of the lonely country, so he committed suicide in front of Emperor Xuan to apologize. As a result, only Emperor Xian's youngest son, Fu Wang Yuanhan, and King Gong's only daughter, the little county lord Chan'er, depended on each other for their lives.

There are many branches of the royal family of the Victorian Kingdom, and it is not a big deal to kill a county lord, but it is really ridiculous that Yi Guo dared to declare war on this Helian Ling without inquiring about his identity in advance. You must know that there is a branch of the Victorian royal family that has made outstanding military achievements, was enclosed by the former emperor and promised three generations of his descendants unconditionally exempt from death. And Helian Fan, the king of Huai who had been under one person for decades and was above ten thousand people, was Helian Ling's father. In other words, Helian Ling is almost the most noble among all the county lords in the country. If it weren't for the suspicion of the emperor who had already made high achievements, and worried that the family would be affected, five years ago, Helian Bin, the son of King Huai Helian Fan and Helian Ling's brother, King Helian Bin of Mingjun, would have marched south to crusade against Yi State. But Rao is Helian family did not make a move, and Yi Guo had to be cautious in recent years, just because the Weiguo Tuoba family bordering it due north was a family friend of the Helian family. And another layer of relationship that is not known to everyone is that the biological mother of Tuoba Hui and Helian Ling, the heads of the previous generation of Tuoba family, is actually a pair of brothers and sisters.

Although there is a dark current between the countries, in general a delicate balance is maintained, and they are at peace with each other.

In an alley in the lonely capital, Wu Mian had jumped off his horse in front of a magnificent and graceful mansion and stepped forward to buckle the knocker a few times.

The door creaked open a crack, and two doormen stepped out. Wu Mian politely clenched his fists and said:

"In Xia Wumian, I came on the order of my son, the convoy to pick up the county lord is on the way, and it will arrive later, when can the county lord leave?"

"It turned out that the person who blocked Gongzi had arrived. The prince and the county lord have instructed that the prince's people will be invited into the mansion as soon as they arrive. Come with me. A doorman replied more politely.

"It's so hard. ”

The door of the mansion was closed again, and the plaque on the door was impressively written with three big characters - Prince Gong's Mansion.

In a quiet garden in the palace, there was a girl sitting on the bed, looking out of the window facing through the gauze tent, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"County Lord, are you awake? The voice of a little girl came in from outside the door.

"Well, come in. ”

"County Lord, the people from Hidden Dust Xuan are coming to pick you up today. The little girl served the girl to freshen up, but her mouth was not idle, "The slave maid and Xiaorao packed some clothes and jewelry to bring, do you want to take a look?"

"No need. You all know what I like, and you can't go wrong. The girl said with a smile.

"County Lord, the people from Hidden Dust Xuan are here. Another little girl ran in and said, "It seems that a messenger came first." ”

"Hmm. Xiaorao, you go and tell the prince, I'll go over. Xitao, let's move faster. ”

"Yes. The two said in unison.

~~~

After packing up, the girl and the maid walked through the courtyard towards the main hall.

When she saw the figure of the person sitting in the main hall, the girl quickened her pace with some surprise.

"Brother Zhe!"

"Chan'er. One of them turned around, and it was the young man in white in the carriage early in the morning.

"Uncle Sanhuang, early. "The girl is humane to another.

"Well, breakfast is all your favorite, so sit down and eat. The young man said dotingly.

"I'm still not used to calling each other. The young man named Plug Rut frowned, looked at the young man and said, "Chan'er called you Uncle Sanhuang, but you asked me to call you Brother Yuan Han." ”

"Chan'er and I are only four years apart, and you are only two years apart, you have no blood relationship with me, why bother talking about those false courtesies? Besides, in addition to the seniority of uncle and nephew, there is actually more brother and sister affection between me and Chan'er. "Needless to say, the young man is King Fu Yuanhan.

"Huh. Chan'er smiled and looked at the block, "Why did my uncle let you come here in person this year?"

"Of course, it's because you have some reliance that you can call me here. What's more, I don't show up much in the rivers and lakes, and no one recognizes me. ”

"That's good. ”

Yinchen Xuan is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Gu, Heng and Yi, but it belongs to the territory of the isolated country. The two generations of Xuan Masters have always pursued the tenet of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, they will be returned tenfold", and the two generations of Xuan Masters are among the best masters in the rivers and lakes, so although Hidden Dust Xuan has only been established for decades, no one dares to provoke it.

However, ten years ago, a treasure map rumored to be left by Prince Hengguo Su was obtained by a senior in Xuanzhong, and the people in the rivers and lakes learned that they seemed to have forgotten the power of Yinchen Xuan, and they went to fight for it. But not to mention the hidden location of the Hidden Dust Pavilion for the time being, less than one percent of the people are really close to the periphery of the Hidden Dust Xuan. Let's just say that those who found the Hidden Dust Xuan, under the shroud of the naturally formed fog, no one entered through the periphery, and very few escaped.

The people in the rivers and lakes slowly formed a tacit understanding: those who met Yinchen Xuan would rather kill by mistake than let go. To say that it is to avenge those who died inexplicably is not actually to covet the treasure in the treasure map.

However, in the past ten years, the Lord of Hidden Dust Xuanxuan has not gone to find treasures. Everyone in Xuanzhong only heard that the treasure not only contained a large amount of gold, silver, and weapons prepared by Prince Su to seize power, but also the martial arts secrets left by the once famous swordsman Nache. With the status and strength of Yinchen Xuan, he doesn't care about this treasure at all, but if the treasure map is taken out, first, no one believes in the truth or falsehood, and second, he is afraid of causing disputes in the rivers and lakes. And so it dragged on.

In fact, speaking of which, Prince Su and the people of Yinchen Xuan are still relatives, even if Yinchen Xuan gets that treasure, it is reasonable. It's just that people in the rivers and lakes don't know about this kinship.

Back then, when Emperor Hengguo Mo was only the third prince Prince Mo, the second prince Prince Su had a fight with him. Then the three princes ascended the throne, but Prince Su still did not give up and wanted to seize power. Emperor Heng's palm, the eleventh sister of the two princes, Princess Yuyu, supported the third prince's accession to the throne, and helped a lot in the counterattack of the third prince against the second prince, and the battle for the throne of Prince Su ended in failure. Later, Princess Kui Yu married the first generation of the Xuan master of the Hidden Dust Xuan, and the incognito was buried in the rivers and lakes, and their children were the current Xuan master of the Hidden Dust Xuan, and the nominally Helian Ling, the daughter of Helian Fan, who was actually his righteous daughter.

From this point of view, if Yinchen Xuan got the treasure, that Prince of Speed would be very angry.

After breakfast, Yuan Han sent Ruts and Chan'er out of the palace. Plugging led Chan'er into the carriage, turned around and said to Yuan Han with a smile:

"Brother Yuan Han, just send it here. I'll take good care of Chan'er. ”

"Hmm. Say hello to Ling Zun on my behalf. ”

"I'm not here this month, you bother to take care of the prince. After Chan'er finished speaking to Xitao and Xiaorao, she looked at Yuan Han again, "I'm leaving." ”

"Don't worry about me. Alright, be careful on your way!"

"Hmm. Let's go!" Rut commanded a few of them.

In the evening, the carriage traveled to the north gate of the lonely capital, and Wu Mian asked for instructions beside the carriage:

"Childe, should we find an inn in the city to rest, or rush to Jicheng overnight?"

"I'm afraid the gates will be closed in two hours, so hurry up. He lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the sky, and commanded.

"Yes. The black crown saluted respectfully, and then shouted to the others, "Speed up." ”

"Brother Zhe is still a little worried, right? But when I arrived in Jicheng, I was relieved, right?"

"Well, although Jicheng is still two days away from Yinchen Xuan, it is Uncle Kui's sphere of influence. ”

~~~

Huo Kui is one of the twelve guards under Blockade and the largest supplier of rice in the Lonely Country. A few years ago, eight of the twelve people were scattered in several small cities around Yinchen Xuan, Heng, and Wei, they hid their original identities, and on the surface they were very prosperous in the city, but secretly they were investigating the news on the rivers and lakes, and loyally guarding Yinchen Xuan. The other four people still stayed in the Xuan to protect the father and son, and assisted in handling some affairs in the Xuan. Except for a very small number of people in the rivers and lakes, they only knew about the four people who stayed behind in the Hidden Dust Xuan, and they did not know the information of the other eight people.

~~~

On the way, Jie Zhi told Chan'er some things about the other guards, and soon two hours passed.

After entering Jicheng, the carriage traveled for about a stick of incense, and finally slowly stopped. Jam Ruts jumped out of the carriage first, and then helped Chan'er go down. Due to the death of King Gong and the princess, in the past five years, every March in March, Guanguan will send someone to pick up Chan'er to live for a month. This Huo Fuchan'er has also stepped on it a few times, and she is no stranger to her.

The black crown walked to the door and knocked on the door. After a while, a slightly lazy voice came:

"It's so late, who is it?" As soon as the words fell, a person poked his head out, and when he saw the black crown, he immediately changed his face to a respectful expression, and saluted, "The black crown is a child." ”

"Hmm. Wu Mian responded lightly and said, "Go and tell Huo Ye that my son-in-law and Miss Chan'er are here." ”

"Yes, wait. ”

After a while, a middle-aged man greeted him with a smile, and a heroic voice sounded at the same time:

"Huo Kui didn't know that Lord Xiaoxuan and the county lord had arrived, and I asked for forgiveness for the rudeness. ”

"Uncle Kui is polite, it's time for my nephew to say sorry for disturbing you so late. ”

"Haha, I instructed the kitchen to prepare some wine and food, and invited Lord Xiaoxuan and the county lord to enjoy it. ”

"Okay, you're welcome. Plugging and Chan'er looked at each other and said with a smile.

Not long after a few people sat down, the people below had already put on a very rich dish and a pot of good wine. Chan'er just drank a small glass as a sign of respect, and quietly listened to the chat with Huo Kui while drinking.

"A few days ago, my subordinates found that several groups of people from the rivers and lakes poured into Jicheng, I think most of them are playing the idea of a treasure map, Lord Xiaoxuan may not be safe on this road, his subordinates will send someone to escort him along the way tomorrow morning. ”

"It's okay, there are the three brothers of Wu Mian and Xun Xuan with Xue Feng, whoever dares to step forward to cause trouble will be dead or alive. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, have the three little guys Xue Feng, Xue Lei, and Xue Yu made great progress?"

"Let's put it this way, every time the three of them join forces, Uncle Chi has to go all out. ”

"In that case, I can rest assured! ”
