Outside the city of Jiangzhou, on the official road not far from the mountains and forests, more than a dozen horsemen galloped by, kicking up dust.

Most of these people were men, all of them were skilled horsemen, with cold faces and scimitars at their waists. Although they are all wearing Hanfu, the exotic style can be seen from the decoration of the scimitar on the waist.

In the middle of the men, two horses were riding side by side, and at once there was a majestic and cold man in black brocade with two beards, and a beautiful young woman who looked graceful and noble.

"Huh?" As if he was aware of it, the man in black brocade with his brows furrowed couldn't help but raise his hand and said, "Stop!" ”

"Your Excellency!" The guards around him who were riding their horses were all busy reining in their horses and stopped to look at the man in black brocade.

"Xianggong, what's wrong?" The beautiful young woman also looked at the man in black brocade suspiciously.

However, seeing the black brocade-clothed man's face and listening attentively, they soon looked at the mountains and forests not far away.

"The sound of a fight? How can there be fights here? Could it be a bandit? The beautiful young woman frowned and wondered.

The man in black brocade squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Ah Da! Leaving four brothers to protect the lady. Everyone else, all with me! ”

"Xianggong, be careful!" The beautiful young woman shouted nervously when she heard this.

The man in black brocade who answered the call led his guards in the direction where the sound of fighting came.

Soon, they saw the mountain path leading to the mountain forest at the bend in front of them, and at the same time, they also saw the fierce fighting scene in the distance.

By the time they rode closer, the battle was over.

'Sonorous' a few crisp sounds. The long sword in his hand knocked out some arrows on the carriage, and his brows furrowed slightly and looked at the more than ten people who came on horseback behind him, Qingzhu couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

A man in a black brocade robe who stopped about ten meters away. His gaze swept over the corpses on the ground, and he couldn't help but look at Qingzhu with a straight face.

After looking at the man in the black brocade robe and the others, Qingzhu, whose eyes flashed slightly, put his sword back into its sheath, jumped down on the driver's seat in front of the carriage, pulled up the reins of the horse, and drove the carriage away with a soft shout.

Qingzhu's killing before seemed to have made a calculation. None of the killers' bodies stopped the carriage.

"Ah Er, go and investigate!" The black-robed man who watched the carriage leave frowned slightly. Xuan even commanded indifferently.

One of the guards on the side answered, and he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and took the other two guards forward to check.

Soon, the guard Ah Er came back with the other two guards and said to the man in the black brocade robe: "My lord! Those who died. It should be some charlatans. But. They carried with them Mo knives and crossbow arrows that were only available in the Tang army. ”

"Jianghu people? Mo knife crossbow arrows? Hearing this, the man in the black brocade robe frowned even tighter, and even though his face couldn't help but change, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Amid the sound of horses' hooves, the beautiful young woman also rushed over with four other guards.

"Xianggong, what's going on?" Seeing the corpses everywhere in front of her, the beautiful young woman whose face changed slightly couldn't help but say.

The man in the black brocade robe, who shook his head slightly, said solemnly: "I'm afraid things are more complicated than we thought. Let's go, let's go to Jiangzhou City first, and go to the palace to see the two sisters-in-law. ”

said. The man in the black brocade robe turned his horse's head and rode away with the beautiful young woman and the guards

Deep in the mountains and forests. There are several bamboo houses in the middle of the bamboo forest, and a fence wall connects the bamboo houses to form a fence yard.

In the sound of scattered horses' hooves, a young man dressed in coarse linen clothes, carrying a bow and arrow basket, and dressed as a hunter could be faintly seen in the bamboo forest, carrying pheasants, rabbits and other prey with a steel fork to lead the way, and leading more than ten Tang soldiers in the direction of the bamboo house.

"Two generals, my house is in front of you," the young man smiled as he turned to two of the more than a dozen Tang soldiers on tall horses, wearing armor and a general's attire.

This young man dressed as a hunter is Qing Yuan, the second disciple of Ziyang Old Dao.

Three years have passed, and Qing Yuan has long since shed his youthfulness and has become a dynamic young man with extraordinary bearing.

"Hehe, I can't imagine that there is such an elegant place in this mountain forest! Not bad! Not bad! It smells of a secluded place," said the burly and tall general, with a smile.

"That's it! Don't be poor! Another stocky and shorter general said angrily: "Listen to your drilling into the mountains and forests, and almost get lost." If it weren't for Brother Tao to help lead the way, we would still be wandering around the mountains! ”

When the burly and tall general heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't I want to see the two sisters-in-law as much as possible?" ”

"Hey! I don't know what happened to my eldest brother? It's a pity that we have a humble position, and now we can only do this kind of thing," the burly general couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The shorter stocky general also looked worried when he heard this: "We can't help it!" Now, I can only discuss it with my two sisters-in-law. Now, I only hope that Cheng Laoguo and they can have a way in Chang'an! ”

While talking, the group came to the outside of the fence outside the bamboo house.

Qingyuan, who heard the conversation of the two generals with sensitive ears and a slight glint in his eyes, stepped forward to open the fence wall first, and then smiled at them: "Two generals, come to my house and drink some water!" ”

"Brothers, dismount! Let's rest and go! The burly and tall general said that he turned over and dismounted first, walked towards the fence wall, looked at some fruits and vegetables planted in the fence wall, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey! Little Brother Tao, you're good here! ”

Qing Yuan smiled when he heard this, and even hung the prey forks, bows and arrows on the wall outside the bamboo house, and instead beckoned the two generals to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard and pour tea for them.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please! Then Qing Yuan was busy pointing to the water tank covered with a wooden lid not far away and said to the soldiers: "In this water tank, there is mountain spring water in the morning, which is very sweet and delicious. ”

As he spoke, Qing Yuan also took out two gourds from the bamboo house on the side. Hand it to the soldiers.

After a long time, the two generals politely greeted Qingyuan and left with their soldiers.

Watching them leave with a smile. couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the mountain road not far away. Over there, it was the direction in which the two generals and their soldiers had left.

Besides, the two generals and their men had not long left when they saw a carriage approaching them.

"Huh?" When the carriage passed by them, the short general glanced sideways at the marks of the arrows on the carriage, and couldn't help frowning slightly and subconsciously stopped his horse.

Seeing this, the burly and tall general on the side hurriedly stopped his horse and turned around and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"The carriage. Not quite right! The short general frowned as he looked at the departing carriage and muttered to himself.

The burly and tall general was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Isn't it just a carriage? It's not that there is no one living in the mountains, so what's so strange about a carriage entering the mountain? ”

"But. The marks on the carriage were as if they had been shot by arrows," said the short general.

Hearing this, the burly and tall general suddenly frowned and said unexpectedly: "What? Did you read that right? ”

"I can't be mistaken!" The short general said categorically.

"So what? Are you going to sue me? Did that carriage come down from the battlefield just now? The burly tall general shook his head slightly. He said, "Okay! We still have to go to see my sister-in-law, so we don't have time to meddle in things. ”

"This is no idle business!" The short general frowned and said, "The marks on the carriage should be caused by crossbow arrows." How can a crossbow arrow appear here? Don't you think it's weird? In my opinion, at the very least, two brothers should be sent to investigate, and perhaps we can figure out the situation. ”

The burly and tall general was helpless when he heard this, so he had to shrug his shoulders and say, "Okay! Little Liu, Ah Guang, you go and investigate. ”

"Others. Keep on your way! As he spoke, he watched as two of the soldiers turned their horses and left. As he spoke, the tall general rode his horse and left with the short general and the rest of the soldiers.

However, just as they were about to leave the mountain path, they saw the corpses lying on the road ahead, and a bloody smell permeated.

"This?" The burly and tall general, who was stunned, couldn't help but glared slightly: "How can there be so many dead people?" ”

Squinting at the short general in front of him, he said thoughtfully: "I think, I understand something!" ”

At this moment, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves and running, and I saw the man in the black brocade robe galloping towards him with dozens of elite horsemen and hundreds of infantry.

Next to the man in the black brocade robe, there was also a middle-aged general in leather armor and a beautiful girl in a big golden Luo skirt. That girl is Xue Jinlian.

"Zhou Qing?" The short general and the tall burly general looked at the man in the black brocade robe and couldn't help but shout in surprise.

Zhou Qing, a man in a black brocade robe, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw them, and then shouted with excitement on his face of surprise: "First picture? Qingxian? ”

"Haha" The three people who laughed were all busy throwing stirrups and dismounting, and galloped forward and hugged each other in the open space between the corpses: "Good brother! It's been years! ”

These three people were three of the six imperial generals who followed Xue Rengui to quell the Boliao Rebellion.

Zhou Qing, who patted the shoulders of the two brothers, couldn't help but turn his head and smile at Xue Jinlian: "Come, Jinlian, come and see your Uncle Xiantu and Uncle Qingxian!" ”

"Niece Jin Lian, meet the two uncles!" Hearing this, Xue Jinlian hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and shouted crisply.

The two of them were stunned when they saw this, and even though they hurriedly stepped forward to help Xue Jinlian up, the short general Xue Xiantu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hehe, in the blink of an eye, for many years, even Jinlian has grown so big, I can't recognize it." ”

"This is called the eighteenth change of the female university! It's getting better and better! is worthy of being the daughter of our eldest brother! Li Qingxian also said with a smile, making Xue Jinlian's face blush slightly.

Xue Xiantu glanced at the corpses on the ground around him, and couldn't help frowning and hurriedly looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Zhou Qing, what's going on?" How can so many people die here? ”

"Xiantu, I have already found these corpses," Zhou Qing said busily when he heard this: "I can't hide it, two virtuous brothers, the origin of these people is not simple, they have Mo knives and crossbow arrows that are only available in the army." And the people they wanted to kill were a miracle doctor who treated his two sisters-in-law, his granddaughter, and an entourage. ”

Immediately, Zhou Qing said meaningfully: "But." The miracle doctor was indeed a great man. The entourage beside him was very strong in martial arts, and if my guess was correct, these twenty people were killed by him alone. ”

"What? Are the two sisters-in-law sick? Li Qingxian asked nervously.

Xue Jinlian said: "Uncle, don't worry. Grandpa Yun is here, and my mother and Erniang have nothing to do. ”

"One man killed more than twenty good hands?" Xue Xiantu looked at Zhou Qing with some surprise.

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "That's right!" My subordinates have checked before, and these corpses on the ground are basically killed with one hit, and they are killed by the vital point. However, the key question now is the identity of these killers. I doubt it. They attacked Yun Shen Doctor because he was implicated in treating his two sisters-in-law. ”

"Oh?" Xue Xiantu, who frowned slightly, couldn't help but ask with a deep expression on his face: "That Cloud Divine Doctor." Who the hell is it? ”

On the side, Xue Jinlian hurriedly said: "Uncle, Doctor Yun is a divine doctor who travels all over the world, although he was unknown before, but he has extremely high medical skills. ”

"First picture. Remember the hunter we met in the mountains? Where he lives. However, there are several bamboo huts, and there are some dried herbs in the courtyard. In addition, we saw the carriage heading towards the mountains before, and it seems that the Yun Divine Doctor should live there," Li Qingxian said.

Xue Jinlian nodded and said, "That's right, Doctor Yun lives in the mountains. The two uncles have seen them before? ”

"Alright, don't talk about this yet!" Zhou Qing said and said to the middle-aged general in leather armor not far away: "Captain Tang, let your people dispose of these corpses and inspect the scene." Take all the stuff away! ”

Captain Tang, who responded, hurriedly ordered his soldiers to take action.

"Let's go! First figure. Qingxian, let's go, let's go to Jiangzhou City to see the two sisters-in-law," Zhou Qing then greeted Xue Xiantu and Li Qingxian

In the bamboo house in the bamboo forest, Yun Weng, Qingzhu and Qingyuan were sitting and chatting casually.

"It seems that we are inevitably caught in the turmoil," Qing Yuan shook his head slightly, "Before you came back, I also killed a few guys who wanted to arrest me. We have been exposed to the eyes of our enemies, Xue Rengui, who have made us the ones they want to get rid of. ”

Yun Weng couldn't help but sigh: "Since ancient times, the catastrophe originated from civil strife, and those princes and generals above the court did not think about the country and the people, but all for their own selfishness, framed the loyal and good, and killed innocents indiscriminately, which is really a scourge and cancer of the imperial court!" ”

"If it's a tumor, it should be removed," squinting his eyes swept over the cold Qing Yuan, and he couldn't help but say, "Yun Weng, senior brother, we should also do something." Yun Weng, you treat the two wives of the king side by side, but it is just a symptom but not a cure. If you want to really cure their heart disease, the only way is to rescue the side by side king. ”

Qingzhu couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Senior brother, let's put it bluntly now, we're just grass-headed people. Even if we cultivate extraordinary, do we want to rob the prison and save people? ”

"Hell robbery? Of course not! Qing Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Even if the prison robbery rescues the side king, he will no longer be able to serve the country." What, then, is the point of us rescuing him? ”

Yun Weng nodded slightly when he heard this, and then said, "Qing Yuan, what do you have in mind, tell me about it!" ”

"It's man-made, let's go to Chang'an first and then talk about it. When the time comes, it will depend on the situation. I believe that we are not the only ones who want to rescue the king side by side," Qing Yuan said.

Yun Weng couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "Hmm! If you don't do it, Anzhi can't do it? Chang'an, even if it's not to save the king side by side, we should go and have a look. ”

"That's it! Grandpa, Brother Qingzhu, Brother Qingyuan, it's time to eat," Yun Lingyun's pleasant voice came.

Qing Yuan couldn't help but get up and smiled: "Let's go, Yun Weng, senior brother, let's eat first." ”

Soon, a few people came to the courtyard outside, and sat down at the stone table full of sumptuous dinners. The game is added with some ordinary vegetables, but it is cooked by Yun Lingyun to make a table of delicious, and the fragrance is attractive.

"Oops! Wine and food, free and easy, don't change it for an emperor! Qing Yuan said with a smile, turned over his hand and took out a pot of wine to enjoy drinking, picked up chopsticks and ate vegetables, and ate with relish.

Yun Lingyun, who was holding the last bowl of mushroom soup and placed it in the center of the stone table, couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"Come, Lingyun, sit down and eat!" Qingzhu greeted with a smile.

Yun Lingyun nodded with a smile and sat down. The four of them sat together, having a good time, and had a very warm dinner.

During the meal, Yun Weng and Qingyuan Qingzhu also talked to Yun Lingyun about their plans to go to Chang'an, and Yun Lingyun's beautiful eyes were shining, and their hearts were moved. After all, Yun Lingyun is just a girl, and she is always curious about new things. Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and she has long been yearning for it.

After dinner, Yun Weng was busy dispensing medicine for Xue Rengui's two wives, Yun Lingyun went to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and only the two brothers of Qingzhu Qingyuan in the courtyard were drinking and laughing casually

The next morning, in the palace side by side in Jiangzhou City, in the main hall, Liu Yinhuan and Zhaoyang sat on the main seat, Xue Jinlian stood quietly beside her mother Liu Yinhuan, and Zhou Qing's wife, the beautiful young woman, stood beside Zhaoyang.

There are seats on both sides below, and Zhou Qing and the other six imperial generals who came one after another yesterday and early this morning are also sitting separately.

"Six brothers, you have worked hard day and night, and I thank you on behalf of your eldest brother," Liu Yinhuan looked at the six imperial commanders.

Zhou Qing spoke first: "Sister-in-law! Don't say that, we and the eldest brother married Jinlan, and said that the good fortune is shared with the hardships, and now the eldest brother is in prison, our brother is incompetent, even if we can't save the eldest brother immediately, we should do our part. ”

"Yes! Sister-in-law! You must be told such kind words to us," the other five were busy.

Zhaoyang couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister, the six brothers are all straight people. Let's not be polite, let's think about how to save the minister! ”

"I think let's go directly to Chang'an to see the emperor," Li Qingxian said.

Xue Xiantu shook his head and said, "How can the emperor be so easy to see?" Besides, now that the eldest brother has been wrongfully imprisoned, the situation is extraordinary, even if we see the emperor, it is useless. In my opinion, it is better to ask Cheng Guogong and them, maybe there will be a way. After all, what they say always carries more weight than we do. ”

"Hmmm! There are also Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu, who were all brothers and sisters with the eldest brother at the beginning. Now that the eldest brother is in trouble, they shouldn't stand idly by," Wang Xinxi said. (To be continued......)
