40. [039] Yizhou civil strife
Gan Ning felt that the past few days had been like a dream.
He sent the coffins of Liu Yan's two sons back to Mianzhu according to Shen Xian's instructions, and Liu Yan fell ill on the day the news arrived, and only had time to glance at Gan Ning in a hurry, and instructed him to wait for questioning and was helped back to the house by his subordinates. Gan Ning was squeezed into the crowd and looked at him for a long time, feeling that it was impossible for Liu Yan to have time to deal with him in a short period of time, so he left here first and went to eat at Boss Wang's house, the only one who had a good relationship in Mianzhu except for Shen Xian.
Gan Ning leaned over the counter and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, serve me some good food?" β
"Xingba? When did you come back! Boss Wang was taken aback by Gan Ning's arrival, I haven't seen him for more than two years, Gan Ning's changes are not small, he has become taller, he has become stronger, and the gangsterism on his body has gone a lot, but the feeling of ruffian gestures is still the same.
"Shortly after arriving." Gan Ning touched his nose: "After going to the state pastoral mansion to report it, it was a mess there, and no one could take care of me." β
Boss Wang was stunned, looked at no one left and right, and asked quietly, "What happened?" β
Gan Ning hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head, and said vaguely: "That adult...... Not very well. β
Boss Wang understood, and the two stopped and didn't say anything more.
Gan Ning had eaten, and he really wanted to go over the wall to see how the sisters of the Wang family were doing, but after thinking about it, he felt that not all girls were as arrogant as his father-in-law, in case people knew that the reputation of the girl's family was not good, and he had something to do, so he endured the idea and only handed over some gadgets brought back from outside to Boss Wang for him to hand them over. Boss Wang took the miscellaneous things that Gan Ning bought back with a complicated expression, but before he could say anything to refuse, Gan Ning waved his hand and said goodbye.
Boss Wang sighed, and finally put things away.
Gan Ning walked around the street a few times, and after getting rid of the few little tails that followed him behind him, he casually turned into a tea house.
The business of this tea house is not very good, and the guys are very lazy, and some guests come and don't move at all, so they doze off on the corner of the table. Gan Ning picked up a pot of water, took another cup, sat down in front of the guy, and put the kettle on the table, making a muffled "bang".
The guy was taken aback, jumped up and pointed at Gan Ning and scolded: "Where did the little rabbit cub come from-"
Gan Ning poured himself water and raised his eyebrows to stare at the guy: "Little rabbit cub? β
The guy suddenly withered, the expression on his face changed from anger to panic in minutes, and he bent down to flatter, "Oh, Uncle Gan, why are you!" Sit down, sit down! The little ones don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, so don't be like me! In this way, I invite you to drink, good wine! β
As the guy spoke, he was about to run to get a drink, but Gan Ning grabbed him: "Excuse me, the master is not here to drink, I have something to ask you." β
"You say what you say!" A flower came out of the man's face.
"Sit." Gan Ning patted the table in front of him: "Let me ask you, has there been any movement in Mianzhu in the past two days?" β
The guy knelt down opposite Gan Ning tremblingly, his expression a little embarrassed: "Movement...... It's impossible to say no, but ......"
Gan Ning didn't speak, he glanced at the guy expressionlessly.
"Uncle Gan, it's not easy for us." The guy made a bitter face: "I can only tell you that during your absence, the soldiers in the camp in the south of the city have been in and out several times, but I haven't seen the number of people increase or decrease, I don't know what they are doing." β
The camp in the south of the city? Gan Ning fell into deep thought, the camp in the south of the city was a soldier under Jia Long, and this army nominally belonged directly to Liu Yan, the Yizhou pastor, and Shen Xian had no right to interfere. However, Liu Yan and Jia Long have always been at odds with each other, saying that it was Liu Yan's soldiers and horses, but in the end it was Jia Long who was armed, which is also something that everyone knows. Because of this, Liu Yan had a lot of restrictions on the southern battalion, and before Shen Xian left Mianzhu, the daily routine of the soldiers in the southern battalion was basically drinking, chatting, gambling, playing with women, and being raised in discard. Every time someone in Mianzhu City gathered to make trouble, eight times out of ten, it was provoked by these soldiers and ruffians.
Shen Xian was annoyed by this, but she also knew that Liu Yan's plan was to slowly raise these people to lose their combat effectiveness, and the more happy these soldiers were now, the worse they would end up on the battlefield in the future.
"What about Ruxian?" Gan Ning thought for a while and asked. Ruoxian is the seat of Guanghan County, this is Shen Xian's territory, very close to Mianzhu, sometimes Shen Xian will go back to deal with some official documents and the like, although she spends most of her time in Mianzhu, but Ruoxian County has a reason for Gan Ning to pay attention to it, that is, the soldiers and horses directly belonging to Shen Xian are stationed in the Ruocheng camp five miles outside the county seat of Ruoxian. Although Shen Xian transferred 2,000 people from here when she went to fight Dong Zhuo, there should still be 1,000 people left behind to protect the safety of Luo County.
"Liu Xiaogongzi is not here, and Ruoxian is like that." The guy shrugged his shoulders: "Oh, some time ago, Lord Zhou Mu seemed to transfer all the people under Liu Xiaogongzi to Hanzhong, and I don't know what to do, at that time, everyone was rumored to be fighting, which made people panic, and then I heard that Lu Feng occupied Chang'an City first......"
Gan Ning was stunned: "There is no one in the camp in Luocheng?" β
"There's never going to be no one." The guy tactfully said, "But most of them are gone...... Isn't Liu Xiaogongzi in Hanzhong? Didn't he let him transfer it? β
Gan Ning didn't speak, his heart had already begun to sink. The guy meant that Liu Yan had transferred all the soldiers and horses under Shen Xian to Hanzhong to fight Chang'an, but in fact, there were no people from the Yucheng camp among the soldiers they saw in Hanzhong, which means that the whereabouts of the last 1,000 soldiers left behind in the Luocheng camp are currently unknown.
"What about Jiangzhou?" Gan Ning asked again: "Is there anything unusual in Jiangzhou?" β
"I don't know about this little one." The guy scratched his head in embarrassment: "Our forces can't reach Jiangzhou, they are all secretly pulled out, and after a few rectifications, the boss doesn't dare to stretch out his hand there." β
Gan Ning took out a piece of gold from his arms and threw it to the guy: "Okay, then let's do this first." β
The guy happily took it: "Thank you, Uncle Gan!" What's the matter for you to come back! β
Gan Ning's footsteps stopped, he turned around slowly, and smiled strangely in the guy's suddenly stiff face: "Tsk, if you don't mention it, forget it, if you mention it, it's a coincidence, there is just something I want to ask you if you do it." β
"Help me steal someone."
The guy almost misunderstood what Gan Ning meant, he thought that Gan Ning was going to steal the young lady of which family came out of the spring breeze, so he bumped his shoulder with an obscene face: "Uncle Gan, which girl do you like, you speak, the little one must try his best to help you Yucheng!" β
Gan Ningxin said that his master had taken a fancy to Zhang Gongqi and his wife...... Bah!
"What do you think?" Gan Ning stared at the guy expressionlessly: "Do you know Mrs. Qingxuan?" β
The guy was dumbfounded: "Uncle Gan, I really didn't expect your taste to be so unique...... But this lady is covered by the state pastor, and her son is the current monarch of the Heavenly Master Dao, so it's not good for you to do this, right? Why don't we change it? β
"It's said that you kid thinks too much." Gan Ning pouted: "Find a way, I want to see her." β
The guy was a little embarrassed: "Let's try the little one, this Mrs. Qingxuan has a big face, and she may not be able to move." β
Gan Ning thought for a while, took out a small flag from his arms and handed it to the guy: "Try to send this to Mrs. Qingxuan, if you can't send it, take it back and return it to me, you must not fall into the hands of others, understand?" β
Gan Ning didn't have his usual hippie smile when he said this, but a little more stern, the guy shrunk his neck in some fear, he nodded violently, and carefully took the flag.
It was a small black brocade banner the size of a palm, bordered with vermilion satin, and embroidered with a large letter. Before Gan Ning left, Zhang Lu handed him this small flag, and explained that this was a token of the Heavenly Master's Dao, so that Gan Ning could prove to Mrs. Qingxuan that he was his own person.
After making an appointment with the guys, Gan Ning went to find Judd, who had returned to Mianzhu earlier than him, to inquire about the situation, and when he walked to the door of Jiafu, he was told that Judd was not in Mianzhu, and he was sent out by the state pastor to run errands. After hearing this, Gan Ning left without saying anything, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: What did Liu Yan send Judd for? Because of Jia Long, he has never treated the Jia family very well, and Jia De belongs to the military attache under the establishment of Shen Xian Guanghan Taishou, so it stands to reason that Liu Yan has no power and no need to send Jia De to do things, because he has his own state pastoral officer.
After a busy day, he took Gan Ning, who had a stomach full of questions, to the post house to stay temporarily, he wrote a letter to Shen Xian and briefly explained the abnormalities he found, including the situation in the south of the city camp and the city camp and the relevant information of Judd, and also told her to pay attention to the movements of the guards in Jiameng Pass, saying that he was contacting Mrs. Qingxuan, and she would leave as soon as she received it. After writing the letter, Gan Ning put it in a bamboo tube and sealed it tightly with clay, handed it over to one of his guards who came from Shen Xian, and instructed him to send it out through a special channel.
After doing this, Gan Ning began the long waiting time while drinking in the house.
Liu Yan really didn't bother to see Gan Ning, when Gan Ning went to visit him the next day, he was told that Liu Yan was very sick, and the famous doctors in Mianzhu City were sent to the state pastor one after another, only to send people in but no one came out, and for a while, everyone in Guanghan County was in danger, for fear that they would be arrested and sent to the state pastor for treatment and never come back, and there were rumors that Liu Yan was actually dead, but the fourth son Liu Zhang detained the news of his death and did not mourn, and wanted to wrest power from Liu Xian, the fifth son of the battlefield.
When others heard these rumors, they all said nonsense, we don't know who the new fourth son is, and the state pastor is obviously the most favored is the fifth son, okay? The fifth prince is young and promising, and he will definitely inherit the mantle of the state pastor and lead us to make a fortune. But Gan Ning was shocked when he heard the rumors: he has been with Shen Xian for so many years, and he knows very well that Liu Yan spoils Shen Xian on the surface and actually kills her insidiously nature, from Liu Yan's calculation that Shen Xian forced her to fight Chang'an, it can be seen that Liu Yan's favorite son is Liu Zhang, not Shen Xian, and he has to take Liu Zhang back from Luoyang or something after filling in the lives of his two own sons, is this a real hobby?
The more Gan Ning thought about it, the more he felt that the rumors circulating in the streets and alleys might be true, he couldn't sit still for a moment, packed up his things and sent out all his other subordinates, and then he was ready to go straight to the tea house to inquire about the situation. As soon as he walked to the door, Gan Ning ran into a person sent by his buddy, saying that Mrs. Qingxuan had asked him to meet at the Nine Dragons Pavilion outside the city tomorrow night. The messenger man squeezed his eyebrows at Gan Ning as he spoke, as if he thought that Gan Ning could soak in Mrs. Qingxuan, but Gan Ning was irritable and didn't bother to explain, so he waved his hand and sent the person away.
Jiulong Pavilion is a famous spot outside Mianzhu, this pavilion is located on the side of Jiulong Lake, the scenery is beautiful by the mountains and rivers, the disciples of the family in the city like to go on an outing here, everyone gets together to chant a few poems and sing a few Fu, they feel that they are really elegant. Shen Xian was also invited by a famous boy in Mianzhu City to invite her to visit the lake and recite poetry, but she refused because she was busy with official business. Gan Ning laughed at Shen Xian at that time that he was uneducated and couldn't recite poetry, Shen Xian stared at him silently, and recited Chu Ci for him for a whole afternoon, from "Lisao" to "Nine Songs" to "Nine Arguments", and finally Gan Ning reflexively wanted to vomit when he heard the words, and Shen Xian was very merciful and let him go.
"I really don't know how to write poetry." Shen Xian said modestly: "But at least I can memorize it, it's better than you, who are uneducated." β
Gan Ning, who was really uneducated, was hurt by 10,000 points of understanding, and from then on he began to study hard...... and a deep dislike for the Kowloon Pavilion.
Gan Ning, who had done a good job of psychological construction, drove away the words in his head, got rid of the people who were following him before the curfew and went out of the city, and came to the Nine Dragon Pavilion on time at midnight.
Gan Ning felt that he had come early enough, but he didn't expect someone to come earlier than him, looking at the slender figure sitting alone in the pavilion in a blue and white robe, Gan Ning's face was full of surprise.
"Are you...... Mrs. Cheonghyun?! β
"It's the poor road." Mrs. Qingxuan put down the wine cup in her hand, turned her head and glanced at Gan Ning lightly, with a look and inquiry in her eyes: "The current juniors are not calm at all, and they will bluff when they encounter something." β
Gan Ning: "......"
"I'm sorry, ma'am." Gan Ning clasped his fists with both hands and saluted Mrs. Qingxuan, and he said sincerely: "I was shocked by your appearance, I didn't expect you to be so young." β
Mrs. Qingxuan's face softened a little, she raised her chin slightly, and said coldly: "The kid is quite good at talking, come in." β
"Yes, ma'am."
"Madam, I am ordered by Gongzi Liu to pick you up and Mr. Gongqi's younger brother back to Hanzhong." Time was pressing, Gan Ning got straight to the point and said, "I don't know when Mrs. will be convenient?" The situation in Mianzhu is turbulent, and we have to move as much as possible. β
Mrs. Qingxuan didn't answer immediately, she stared at Gan Ning with a strange expression for a long time and then suddenly asked, "Have you heard any rumors recently?" β
Gan Ning's heart moved, and he looked at Mrs. Qingxuan's face and said tentatively: "Madam is saying...... Governor of the State? I've heard that it was all over the streets yesterday, but when I went out today, there was no trace of the rumors, and I guess it had been suppressed. β
"Don't you suspect something?" Mrs. Qingxuan asked again: "The Prefecture Pastoral Mansion has recruited famous doctors in Guanghan, but all the doctors have gone and never returned like meat buns beating dogs, coupled with the frequent mobilization of troops and horses in the southern camp of the city, the troops in the Lucheng camp have been exhausted......
Every time Mrs. Qingxuan said a word, Gan Ning's face became ugly, and the "confidential" information he had worked so hard to hear was easily told by Mrs. Qingxuan, which made him feel like he had been deceived. Just as he was thinking about how to kill those little rabbit cubs when he went back, Gan Ning heard Mrs. Qingxuan say meaningfully: "The poor road comes and goes to the state pastor's mansion, and you can more or less hear something that you shouldn't hear, and the kid doesn't need to drill this bull's horn." She paused, and involuntarily lowered her voice: "Poor Dao might as well tell you one more thing that others can't inquire about, Liu Junlang passed away late at night two days ago." β
Gan Ning was completely stunned, he didn't expect things to develop like this, obviously when he sent the coffin back that day, Liu Yan's body and bones looked quite tough, how long did he ...... He's dead?!
"Wait...... Wait a minute! Gan Ning stood up suddenly, he paced back and forth in the Nine Dragons Pavilion, muttering to himself, "Lord Zhou Mu, he's dead?" Why didn't the news come out? Liu Jiyu, he-pressed down?! β
Mrs. Qingxuan nodded: "Liu Junlang had a big quarrel with Liu Jiyu before he died, and I didn't know what the specific content was, but Liu Junlang passed away late that night." After Liu Jiyu took over the affairs of the state pastoral office, he suppressed the news of Liu Junlang's death and did not mourn, ordered to find a famous doctor in the whole territory of Guanghan to treat Liu Junlang, and also sent someone to send a letter to Jiamengguan. β
"Liu Jiyu wants to usurp power?" Gan Ning narrowed his eyes, and his mind flashed the flattering look of Liu Zhang chasing after Shen Xian's ass when he first met, and he couldn't connect what he did with him as a person.
"It's not a usurpation." Mrs. Qingxuan said lightly: "Speaking of which, Liu Jiyu is older than Liu Shangyu, and he is a man, no matter how he can't support the wall, he will not be willing to succumb to a woman." β
Gan Ning didn't react to Mrs. Qingxuan's words at first, but after a few seconds, he suddenly realized something, and stared at Mrs. Qingxuan's face sharply: "You...... What do you say? β
My lord, your gender has fallen off the horse to the point that everyone knows! So what's the use of you dressing up as a man!
"Look what I'm doing." Mrs. Qingxuan basked slightly: "Do you think Liu Shangyu is a man?" Just kidding, which guy looks like her? is dressed in fine skin, tender flesh, white skin, and beautiful, and she is clearly a little girl. β
The corners of Gan Ning's mouth twitched: "No, you're talking about ......"
Seeing that Gan Ning's expression was a little embarrassed, a trace of interest flashed between Mrs. Qingxuan's eyebrows, and she blinked: "Shouldn't anyone really think that Liu Shangyu is a man?" β
Thinking of someone who had sworn to Shen Xian and called her virtuous brother all day long, Gan Ning nodded seriously.
Mrs. Qingxuan: "......"
Mrs. Qingxuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Introduce it to me!" I must know this kind of talent! I'm going to meet him in a man's costume and see if he can recognize me!" β
Looking at Mrs. Qingxuan, who suddenly became lively, Gan Ning always felt that something was wrong.
Madame, it's good if you're happy.
In view of the heavy news that Liu Yan was dead and Liu Zhang wanted to control Zhan Mianzhu to seize the throne, Gan Ning decided to evacuate this place with Mrs. Qingxuan and go back to report the news. Liu Zhang chose to stab Shen Xian in the back at this time, clearly wanting to kick her out with Zhang Lu, so that Mrs. Qingxuan and Zhang Lu's younger brother, who were hostages, would be in danger.
"I'll leave tomorrow." Gan Ning said: "No, madam, you go back and pack your things now, and we will leave in a while while it is night!" can't delay any longer, who knows if Liu Jiyu will do it to you tomorrow? β
At this point, Mrs. Qingxuan still looked calm: "Where are you going?" β
"Go to Hanzhong," Gan Ning looked at Mrs. Qingxuan strangely: "Mr. Gongqi is the lord of Hanzhong, and my lord is also in Hanzhong, so naturally I went to meet them." β
Mrs. Qingxuan shook her head: "Miss Liu is not in Guanghan County, and all the soldiers who stayed behind have been transferred, and the current controller of Guanghan is Liu Jiyu, and there are large armies left behind in Sword Pavilion and Jiameng Pass, and we can't get out." β
Gan Ning sighed in his heart. The so-called entry into Shu is easy and difficult to get out of Shu...... When he returned to Mianzhu, he had the coffins of the two sons as talismans, and he justifiably passed through GuΓ² Mengguan, and no one dared to stop the 10,000 defenders. But what about getting out? He took Mrs. Qingxuan and Zhang Lu's younger brother, and before he reached the checkpoint, he might be surrounded by chasing soldiers. Because he didn't expect Liu Yan to die so quickly, and Liu Zhang would rebel so suddenly, Gan Ning, who was for the purpose of probing intelligence, only brought Shen Xian's more than 20 guards, more than 20 people against 10,000 troops, and the result can be imagined.
Could it really be that they could only be trapped in Mianzhu City, captured by Liu Zhang, or threatened Shen Xian as a hostage? Gan Ning's heart was extremely irritable.
You can't go to the north...... Then go south!
Gan Ning made a quick decision, and he said to Mrs. Qingxuan: "Go to Jiangzhou first, Jiangzhou Taishou has some friendship with me, and he has a good relationship with the lord, even if he doesn't help, it won't embarrass us, let's take a boat from Jiangzhou to Jiangling, and go back to Hanzhong from Jingzhou." β
Mrs. Qingxuan's eyes flashed, and she seemed to have an opinion on this arrangement, but she didn't say it immediately, anyway, she could go to Jiangzhou.
How to enter Mianzhu, which has been closed by curfew, is a problem. Gan Ning and Mrs. Qingxuan stood under the city gate and looked up at the lights hanging high on the city tower, and the two looked at each other.
What is called making a mistake in a hurry, this is. Gan Ning, who was shocked by the news that Liu Yan was dead and Liu Zhang was going to rebel, completely forgot that it was midnight, and the city gate had already been closed, and it would only be opened tomorrow morning, so they naturally couldn't enter the city after wandering outside the city all night. But just wait until tomorrow...... The ghost knows that when the city gate opens tomorrow morning, they are waiting for their own people who have left the city or Liu Zhang's men who have captured people.
"Damn it!" Gan Ning felt uncomfortable in his heart, he could take Mrs. Qingxuan away now, but what about the brothers who came with him? And what about Mrs. Qingxuan's son? How could he leave them alone and run for their lives?
"Don't worry, we'll see later." Mrs. Qingxuan said softly: "After all, Liu Jiyu has just arrived, even with the help of Liu Junlang's forces, but Guanghan is Liu Shangyu's territory after all, and it is not so easy for him to completely control it, at least now when there is no public difficulty, we still have loopholes to exploit." β
"What do you mean, ma'am?" Gan Ning's heart moved, and he began to feel that this Mrs. Qingxuan was not such a simple person.
"Now that I know Liu Jiyu's plan, I naturally can't help but prepare early." Mrs. Qingxuan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, we are now in the same boat, my son gave you the Heavenly Master Order, and I will bring your subordinates out together." β
Gan Ning said cautiously: "Then thank you, madam." β
After a while, Gan Ning actually saw that the gate of Mianzhu City was opened, and a carriage rushed out of the city, followed by a retinue, which was the twenty Shen Xian's guards brought by Gan Ning. After turning the corner, the carriage stopped on the side of the road, and Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Zheng jumped out of the carriage: "Mother! Come on! β
Mrs. Qingxuan didn't say a word, she took her son's hand and got into the carriage, while Gan Ning sat in front of the car to help catch the car: "Drive-"
"How did you get out?" Gan Ning asked Zhang Zheng in the carriage.
"The soldiers defending the city have an informant from the Heavenly Master's Dao, and we will kill the guards and open the city gate directly." Zhang Zheng's little head poked out of the car curtain: "Big brother, are you the one sent by the big brother to take us home?" β
Gan Ning rubbed the top of Zhang Zheng's hair: "Yes." β
"Keep going, transfer at the ferry, we'll take the waterway." Mrs. Qingxuan pulled her naughty son back to the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning shook the horse and whipped it to run faster, and at the same time said casually: "Madame, what a good means." β
"Passing the prize." Lady Qingxuan's voice came: "The news of Liu Junlang's death was spread by me to the Heavenly Master Dao disciples in the city, in order to force Liu Jiyu to speed up his plan, and the hasty layout will inevitably produce flaws, and these flaws are what Gongqi and Liu Shangyu can use." β
Gan Ning nodded and said no more, but he was a little more jealous of this Qingxuan lady in his heart.
It didn't take long for the sound of chasing soldiers to be heard from behind. Zhang Zheng killed the defenders of the city simply and rudely when they went out of the city, and they didn't try to cover it up, so it was a matter of time before they were discovered.
"You go first." Looking back at the pursuers who were getting closer and closer, Gan Ning took the knife from his back and held it in his hand: "I'll stop them." β
Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves, it is estimated that this wave of chasing soldiers is nearly fifty people, although it is almost 1V1 to stop and fight, the winning rate is still very high, but if you want to beat the enemy down and lose the ability to continue the pursuit, you have to spend precious escape time, it is really not appropriate, it is better to leave a person to delay for a while.
As he spoke, the pursuers arrived, and Gan Ning was about to jump out of the carriage, when suddenly a hand reached out from the carriage and grabbed his arm, and in the next second, a long spear stabbed obliquely, and struck at Gan Ning's chest at a tricky angle.
The bright sword light suddenly flashed through the night sky, Gan Ning watched in amazement as Mrs. Qingxuan half-knelt on the carriage, she dragged Gan Ning back with one hand to avoid the gun, and held a cold sword in the other hand, firmly holding the gun shaft, so that the gun could no longer move forward for half a minute!
"Husband...... Person? Gan Ning was taken aback by this sudden change, he never expected that Mrs. Qingxuan, who seemed to be powerless, was not a weak woman at all, but an unborn swordsman!
"Drive!" Mrs. Qingxuan shouted angrily, she swung her sword again, the wide sleeves of her robe fluttered up and down, and the sword light was so fast that she couldn't see it clearly, but in the blink of an eye, the sneak attacker who appeared first was beaten off the horse by Mrs. Qingxuan's sword.
The rest of the people also exchanged hands with the pursuers, the carriage was their main target, Gan Ning didn't think about anything else, he held the reins with both hands, firmly controlled the two horses, and let them gallop forward.
Gan Ning's afterglow caught a glimpse of Mrs. Qingxuan clasping the edge of the car door with one hand, and swept lightly onto the roof of the car like a returning swift. There was the sound of hand-to-hand collisions, mixed with the muffled grunt of pain and the muffled sound of bodies falling to the ground......
Is a woman so powerful these days? Gan Ning thought blankly.
I don't know how long it took, the sound of fighting in my ears finally stopped, and Mrs. Qingxuan rolled down from the roof of the car, and a few drops of red blood were splashed on the edge of her elegant Taoist robe, just like the peach blossoms that bloomed early on the mountain in early spring, gorgeous and dazzling.
Ganning parked the carriage by the small pier, where a small passenger boat was quietly parked.
The guards behind him gradually caught up, Gan Ning counted the number of people, and found that no one died, and everyone suffered minor injuries such as cuts and abrasions, which did not affect the rush at all.
"Get on board." Mrs. Qingxuan put her sword into the sheath and got off the car with Zhang Zheng in her arms: "From here, you can take a boat to Jiangzhou in about three days." β
Ever since Mrs. Qingxuan showed her peerless sword skills, Gan Ning's respect for her Cheng dΓΉ has gone up, and she has reached Cheng dΓΉ who has thrown herself to the ground. After Mrs. Qingxuan spoke, he arranged for his subordinates to board the ship without saying a word.
The next trip was very peaceful, I don't know if Liu Zhang was in a hurry and didn't prepare for a lot of things, or if the power of the Heavenly Master Dao was too strong, Gan Ning and they went down the river without the slightest hindrance. After passing Chengdu, Mrs. Qingxuan ordered someone to raise the flag of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and the ships avoided and gave way when they saw it, and no one dared to attack it directly.
Gan Ning leaned on the deck and spoke, he knew that Heavenly Master Dao had huge forces in Yi, Jing and even Yangzhou Sili, but he didn't expect them to grow to such a level, no wonder Liu Yan was quite jealous of him since he sent Zhang Lu to Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang was in a hurry to attack Mrs. Qingxuan as soon as he took the position. Fortunately, Shen Xian is now in the same relationship with Zhang Lu, otherwise things would not have happened.
As if she saw Gan Ning's thoughts, Mrs. Qingxuan said to him: "Our Zhang family has been operating in the land of Bashu for three generations, and the Heavenly Master Dao has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It would be fine if Liu Junlang treated him politely, but after he sent Gongqi to Hanzhong, he still wanted to kill us all......"
Mrs. Qingxuan sneered: "Is it true that our Zhang family is vegetarian?" β
Gan Ning looked at her in silence. Mrs. Qingxuan's words are not only a mockery of Liu Yan, but also a deterrent to Shen Xian, although Zhang Lu and Shen Xian are in the same group now, but who can say clearly what will happen in the future? Now that Liu Yan and Liu Zhang have learned from the past, I believe that if Shen Xian wants to attack the Zhang family in the future, she will have to weigh whether she has the ability.
Gan Ning had been frightened enough along the way, so when he learned that Jiangzhou Taishou, who was as stupid as a wood, was actually a disciple of the Heavenly Master's Dao sect...... He doesn't have a temper anymore.
Jiangzhou Taishou expressed a grand welcome to the arrival of Mrs. Qingxuan, and at the same time he sent a special messenger to write a letter to Hanzhong to ensure safety.
"Before, we were in Mianzhu, and Liu Jiyu controlled the zhΓ¬ post station, so the news sent to Hanzhong would be detained." Mrs. Qingxuan explained to Gan Ning: "Now that we are in Jiangzhou, we can send the news to Nanzheng through Micang Road, and soon they will know that we are fine." β
Gan Ning muttered, "I hope so." β
