Chapter 164: Coming to Chongming Tower Again
When Duanmu Xu and Zhao Luojia came to the collapsed place again, they already had a plan in their hearts.
Although there was still some distance between them, Zhao Luojia also felt uncomfortable.
Duanmu Xu said, "Ready?"
Zhao Luojia responded, "Hmm." ”
The two jumped into the dark river, holding hands.
The only thing you worry about is that you will be forced to breathe for too long. The two hearts can only protect Zhao Luojia's spiritual sea.
However, Duanmu Xu thought of the secret method of the Golden Pan Realm that Fa Yin had taught him. is not only to guard his own square inch, but also to guard Zhao Luojia's square inch.
How to do it is that Duanmu Xu had an idea, and thought that if he learned the two-heart formula, it might work.
The two of them are in this dark river, at this time, Duanmu Xu casts the secret method of the two hearts, and Zhao Luojia only cares about urging the aura, and then outside the two of them, it is Duanmu Xu's guard.
The poisonous water vapor is excluded, and the two can move forward with peace of mind.
Looking at Zhao Luojia's calm face, Duanmu Xu knew that those poisonous gases had not been infected.
The faint light of the cold pearl was in front of them, and the two of them sneaked quickly like fish in the water.
I don't know how long I swam in the water, but the uncomfortable water smell is still pervasive. Duanmu Xu thought, fortunately he didn't just hold his breath and sneak like this, otherwise it would be dangerous to fall into the woods.
With two hearts inside, guarding the outside, the two continued to sneak for an unknown amount of time, and Duanmu Xu sensed that the water vapor disappeared before he came out of the dark river.
While resting on the reef, Duanmu Xu had palpitations about such a long stretch of water vapor behind him. If I hadn't cultivated the Golden Pan Realm myself, I'm afraid I would have really been trapped in it all the time.
As soon as I woke up, I was in this mountain, if it weren't for Zhao Luojia, it would be really lonely.
After this difficulty, the two of them also have a better understanding of their respective aura techniques, which can be regarded as a kind of gain.
The dark river continues to flow, and they have to keep going.
In the dimness, it was difficult to measure the sunset and sunrise, and the two of them did not know exactly how long it had been along the dark river, or flying or sneaking.
However, at this time, they sneaked in the dark river, and found that the dark river was getting wider and wider, and the two of them kept floating up.
In the mountain, it keeps going down, but at this time it keeps going up.
When they emerged from the water, the sky was so blue for the first time in a long time, and the water was white all around.
They came out in the middle of the endless waters.
After being trapped in the darkness for a long time, I finally got the light of day, and my mood was naturally extremely comfortable. It wasn't too difficult for them to cross the waters, but where to go was a problem.
Duanmuxu had no reason to go back to Huashan, although Zhao Luojia was deceived by the female disciple of the Zhengyang Sect, but he also woke up his brother by mistake, and he got a lot of opportunities. And looking at the movement on Nahua Mountain, it is definitely not small. If I go back at this time, I am afraid that there will be even greater incidents.
They didn't go back to Huashan, but they all had reasons to go back to Xianjing.
In these waters, there is naturally nothing to refer to, but the direction is still recognizable.
Kenkyo is in the north.
One person is really a Ling Bo microstep, and one person finds a long branch on the water, which can be regarded as a tree crossing the river.
The water was extremely wide, but no matter how wide it was, it was no longer as wide as the pace of the two of them.
When the two of them were about to reach the shore, they went ashore under the astonished gaze of a group of fishermen.
From the mouths of these fishermen, the two learned that this was the place where the waters of Daze, Luoshui and Weishui converged. However, what surprised them even more was that the earth-shaking on the Lotus Peak was just an unprecedented ground movement in the entire Huashan region.
This time the ground movement not only affected the center of Hwasan, but also affected the three provinces of Nakse, Nakdong and Xianchuan. How many people have been destroyed and displaced by this.
Duanmu Xu's expression was gloomy, such a natural disaster always makes people sad. Zhao Luojia thought more, and the court's disaster relief had to keep up, otherwise the people's lives might be even more difficult.
Starting from Daze, the two finally found the horses at the post station, and under the respectful gaze of the post officer, they went north.
From Osawa back to Xianjing, you have to pass through the city of Bingzhou.
Seeing the fleeing victims along the way, Zhao Luojia also wanted to see the disaster relief situation in Luoxi Province.
Bingzhou City, where the capital of Luoxi is located, Duanmuxu happened to meet Pan Zihan and them here.
However, at this time, the merger of states was much noisier than it was at the beginning.
The ground movement in Huazhou has affected several counties in the three provinces, and the number of people affected is extremely large, and the disaster situation is also extremely serious. All provinces shall provide disaster relief and assistance to the affected areas within their borders.
However, looking at the fleeing victims all the way, and listening to the feedback from some of the victims, Zhao Luojia felt that Luoxi's disaster relief seemed to be not in place at all.
There are very few relief materials and not many people to provide relief.
The intensity of Luoxi's relief efforts and the severity of the disaster are completely unequal.
What Zhao Luojia saw was that Luoxi's disaster relief was ineffective and seriously ineffective.
After entering the city of Bingzhou, I went directly to the governor's mansion.
When the princess arrived, Shi Longkai, the governor of Luoxi, was a little surprised, so he naturally asked for a treat, and then sent someone to escort her back to Xianjing.
Zhao Luojia didn't eat this set, and went straight to the point, and asked about the disaster relief.
Shi Longkai, as a feudal official, naturally has some rhetoric. Relief food and relief money have already been prepared, and all the prefectures and counties affected by the disaster have been ordered to register the disaster situation and distribute them one by one.
When Zhao Luojia questioned that the victims had not received any help, Shi Longkai denounced the ineffective prefects and counties, claiming that they would be strictly investigated and personally go to the disaster area to supervise.
Zhao Luojia didn't know much about this kind of matter after all, and after Shi Longkai dealt with it, she couldn't have more places to ask. However, she thought that after returning to Beijing, she would try her best to get some disaster relief money so that she could help the people affected by the disaster.
Zhao Luojia politely refused Shi Longkai's request to send someone to escort him back to Beijing, and a group of people hugged and shouted, very uncomfortable. It's better to go north with your brother, it's much happier.
Looking at the back of Zhao Luojia leaving, Shi Longkai's eyes were much colder, this time this girl will have to spend a lot of money and food to deal with it. As for the prisoner of the country who came with Zhao Luojia, he didn't take it to heart.
When Duanmu Xu and the two left the governor's mansion, they were about to ride their horses and run to the official road.
However, on the way, they ran into a man.
Zhao Luojia didn't know him, but Duanmu Xu thought about it and remembered this person. Ma Lu, when he was on the Chongming Tower, there was a person who patted Shi Jichong on the back, and he also took a few kicks, it was that Ma Lu.
Na Malu seemed to have inadvertently fallen in front of the horse, and when the two of them reined in the horse, they saw that no one should be paying attention to the surroundings, so he whispered, "The little one has a big grievance, please make the princess." ”
Duanmu Xu and Zhao Luojia are both smart people, and most of the people who want to complain here are related to the governor of Nashi, otherwise why not go directly to the governor's yamen to avenge their grievances.
After all, this is in the city of Bingzhou, Duanmu Xu sensed it around, and did not find any suspicious people, it seems that this Ma Lu also probed before he appeared to stop them.
But this is not the place to talk after all.
"After an hour, it's good to meet on the Chongming Tower. "For this Bingzhou City, Duanmu Xu is not familiar with it after all, so he proposed to meet again on the Chongming Tower.
Namalu was also a smart man, and after answering the "yes", he quickly disappeared.
Duanmu Xu and Zhao Luojia rode out of Bingzhou City, presumably the soldiers guarding the city gate would soon spread the news to Shi Longkai.
Not long after leaving the city gate, Duanmu Xu and Zhao Luojia let go of the horse they were riding in a remote place, and then turned back.
"I might have to wronged you. Duanmu Xu said with a smile.
Zhao Luojia was a little surprised, "How can you be wronged?"
Duanmu Xu pointed to her face, let's go in like this, I'm afraid it's still too conspicuous, and those guards will find out immediately.
With the strength of Zhao Luojia Ling's virtual realm, he can naturally fly over the city wall, but in the daytime, I am afraid that it will attract more attention.
"Why don't you disguise yourself a little?"
As for how to disguise and change his appearance, although Duanmu Xu has no experience, as long as it is not the same as the original appearance, it can be regarded as a pass.
It turned out to be beautiful, so ugly, so tall, so slightly hunched back, and the original white and tender skin could only be smeared with dust.
Zhao Luojia felt novel, but he was also willing to do so.
In a moment two unkempt men walked towards the city gate and mingled in the crowd. In order to make the guards of the city gate undetectable, the two of them also changed their clothes slightly.
Perhaps they were well prepared, or the guards at the city gate were not too careful, and they managed to turn back and merge with the city.
Entering the city, the two walked in the direction of the Chongming Tower. Along the way, Duanmu Xu did not relax, but paid attention to whether there were any suspicious people following.
Back then, it was really rare to drink and chant poetry on that Chongming Tower.
Now that I want to go to that Chongming Building, my identity has changed, and my mind has changed.
When Duanmuxu and Zhao Luojia came to Chongming's downstairs, Na Ma Lu was already waiting downstairs in Chongming, looking vigilantly, and when he saw Duanmuxu and Zhao Luojia's faces clearly, he was first startled, and then when the two of them walked by, he did not stop, but whispered, "Princess, please follow me." ”
Chongming Building is just a place to meet, naturally not a place to talk.
Duanmu Xu and the two followed not far behind Ma Lu and walked slowly.
Looking at the back in front of him, Duanmu Xu pondered why the person who was kicked by Shi Jichong at the beginning stopped Luo Jia this time, and what kind of grievances he wanted to redress.
A person who is so slanderous and flattering, if he really wants to tell the governor of the state, it will take great courage.
Maybe what I saw before was an illusion.
Duanmu Xu was pondering, and Zhao Luojia was also thinking.
But what she thought was that if the object of this person's complaint was really that Shi Longkai, what she should do was appropriate.
If Shi Long is allowed to develop the existing handle in his own hands, in this annexed state city, will the other party make trouble.
heard about it in the palace, and it also gave her some understanding of these struggles for power and ruthlessness, and she was no longer a girl who only knew how to be in the wind and snow.
Regardless of the thoughts of the two people behind, Ma Lu turned around and turned into an alley from the Chongming Building, and then circled twice, and finally came to an inconspicuous place.
Ma Lu pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, and the two Duanmu Xu followed slowly.
After Ma Lu closed the courtyard door, he stretched out his hand, "Princess, please go inside." ”
In his expression, Duanmu Xu couldn't find a trace of the slanderous and flattering look he had at the beginning, but he was unusually calm and calm, as if he was suppressing something in his heart.
Zhao Luojia and Duanmu Xu went straight inside and entered the main hall, but they saw a person.
"Why are you here?" Duanmu Xu asked, surprised.
