Han Meng smiled, didn't say anything, and immediately ordered someone to recall Zhang Nan and Ma Yan, dismantle the temporary camp, open the way with cavalry, and go straight to Fenglingdu.

However, it was said that Ma Yan ordered Jiang Yiqu and Chun Yudao to be stationed on the spot with a flying pigeon message, and the two people with a thousand soldiers had entered the Thunder Hand Mountain boundary, and after receiving the order, they immediately stationed on the spot, but it didn't take long for them to receive a flying pigeon message, so that the two of them divided their troops into two ways and marched in a loud voice, the better.

So the two men continued to do what they were told, and at the moment they parted from each side, leading five hundred men each, and marching noisily along the way.

Thunder Hand Mountain to Wuban is hundreds of miles long, with different names, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Huangfu Jianshou and Zhu Hao were stationed on the Thunder Hand Mountain, the mountain has nine peaks, each peak has set up a cottage, and the remaining eight peaks are located in eight different directions, and the middle peak is in the middle. That is to say, the Thunder Hand Mountain Dazhai is surrounded by the other eight cottages, even if the periphery is lost, if you want to attack the Dazhai, it will take a lot of effort.

On the big village of Lei Shou Mountain, Zhu Hao sat in the cottage, he had just received a report that Huangfu Jianshou had been taken away, and he was in a hurry at this time, pacing back and forth in the hall.

Zhu Hao is the same age as Huangfu Jianshou, but his body is a little weak, wearing an ink-colored robe, white face and green beard, he looks extremely elegant, quite like his father Zhu Jun.

"Newspaper—"

A person came from outside the cottage, shouting loudly and breaking into the hall where Zhu Hao was.

"What's wrong again?" When Zhu Hao saw someone coming, he hurriedly asked.

"Jiang Yiqu and Chun Yu led the troops in two ways, and the momentum was huge, rolling from the direction of Lei Shou Mountain, the banner covered the sky and the sun, and the dust was flying. I can't see how many soldiers and horses are coming. ”

Zhu Hao stopped, frowned, looked distressed, sighed, and waved his hand to signal the visitor to retreat. He himself slowly sat down in a chair and said with a smile, "I said it earlier. Lin Nan's army is not easy to mess with, if you don't listen, now Han sent a large army to encircle and suppress, and tens of thousands of people in the mountains will be devastated again, and it will be even more difficult to steal Hedong......"

After talking to himself, Zhu Hao immediately shouted at the people outside the door: "Please wish the heroes of justice here!" ”

After a while, one was slender and wore a hat. A man with a long sword stuck diagonally in his back walked in, dressed in ink-like clothes, and his left hand was always hidden in a pair of gloves. As soon as he came in, he clenched his fists and said, "The second master called me, what is the matter?" ”

"The big boss was captured, and now Jiang Yiqu and Chun Yudao under Han Meng are approaching again, I want to ask the hero to save the big boss on my behalf and assassinate Han Meng. As long as Han Meng dies, his soldiers will inevitably retreat. After the deed is done. There is no more fetters between you and me! Zhu Hao clenched his fists and said loudly.

Zhu Gongdao didn't think much about it, only nodded slightly, and said, "I don't kill people, I only save people." It is all the fault of the great masters that you have landed in this field. He was bent on stealing Hedong as his own, did not want to forge ahead, insisted on going his own way, dared to be the enemy of the Great Xia Kingdom, and did not know the current affairs. The second master knows that it is important, why not adapt to the times? ”

"You don't have to say more, no matter how you say it, he is also my brother who married Jinlan, we once made an oath, this oath cannot be broken, even if I am ruined, I Zhu Hao will not hesitate. Hero, your swordsmanship is exquisite, when the world rarely meets opponents, I read the kindness of saving you in the past, I only ask you to kill Han Meng, the first few times you refused to play a heavy hand, Han Meng escaped death several times, but again and again, he invaded Thunder Hand Mountain, he did not die, Thunder Hand Mountain will never be peaceful! Zhu Hao said.

"He is dead, and there will be no peace in Thunder Hand Mountain. Huangfu Jianshou has a bad heart, and there is no doubt about Dong Zhuo back then, if he hadn't bewitched the more than 10,000 people last year, how could there be a blood-stained Anyi? It is a means, but it is also too bad. You are my father-in-law, and I don't want to see you and Huangfu Jianshou in the same boat. But I clearly tell you, I wish justice and swore that I would never kill anyone under the sword, and I am only responsible for bringing back Huangfu Jianshou this time. ”

Zhu Hao saw that Zhu Gongdao didn't agree, so he didn't say anything anymore, but just arched his hand and said, "There is Lao Daxia." ”

"Chivalry? What kind of man am I? Second, you are kind to me, and I would like to remind you that you should focus on the overall situation. Even if you can succeed in occupying Hedong, you and Huangfu Jianshou will be sandwiched between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom, and they will inevitably be destroyed by it, so it is better to ......"

"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you, you are only responsible for saving people."

Zhu Gongdao nodded, didn't speak, turned around and left, his steps were light, his body was fast, and he disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Zhu Hao immediately issued an order to let his subordinates guard the key mountain passes everywhere, and ordered people to withdraw the people in the Fenglingdu area and return to the cottage.

……

Lin Nan rode a horse with Huangfu Jianshou, and since the two of them entered the gallop for dozens of miles, they had not yet entered the boundary of the Thunder Hand Mountain, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, and the horses had lost their effect.

At this time, it was already dark, so Lin Nan stopped, casually found a forest to rest, and at the same time put Huangfu Jianshou by his side.

"How far is it from the Thunder Hand Mountain Cottage?" Lin Nan asked as he lit a bonfire.

Huangfu Jianshou didn't say a word, and said, "Why should I sue you? Find it yourself. ”

Lin Nan didn't ask anymore, according to the route Han Meng said, he estimated the distance, even if he didn't sleep all night, at least he would not be able to enter Thunder Hand Mountain until tomorrow morning. It's not that the distance is long, but the mountain road is too difficult to walk, rugged, and extremely difficult, which is why Han Meng has besieged Thunder Hand Mountain many times in vain.

After a while, the ink clouds rolled, and endless darkness shrouded down, like a curtain of death fell, and bursts of terrifying aura instantly filled the heavens and the earth.

An evil wind blew up, blowing out the bonfire lit by Lin Nan, and the beasts in the mountains and forests began to roar, wolves howling and tigers roaring, looking even more eerie and terrifying.

Lin Nan wrapped his clothes and felt a hint of coolness, the mountains and forests at this time are indeed very dangerous, undeveloped, brute beasts are infested, rampant, I am afraid it is also a barrier to enter the Thunder Hand Mountain, if you are a coward, you will never dare to spend the night here.

When the evil wind blew, he lit a bonfire, and the light shone on the surroundings, and gave him a hint of warmth.

Suddenly. A flash of white light shot at him, flying past his cheek, shaving off a strand of white hair, piercing the rock behind him, and a black shadow falling from the sky.

The black shadow was Zhu Gongdao, he pointed to the Huangfu Jianshou behind Lin Nan and said, "I want to take him away!" ”

Huangfu Jianshou was tied up with five flowers. Seeing Zhu Gongdao coming, he immediately shouted: "Zhu Daxia, save me!" ”

Zhu Gongdao nodded and said, "I'm here to take you away." ”

After Lin Nan heard this, his body immediately became nervous, he pulled out a long sword that he carried with him, and asked, "You just wish justice?" ”

Zhu Gong saw that Lin Nan was still dressed as a bad old man, with gray hair and a thin body. But listening to Lin Nan's voice just now, there was a strong voice, and he still knew that this person was an old man pretending to be an old man. He drew his long sword from behind his back, stood with his sword, and said loudly: "Interesting, it seems that you want to fight?" ”

Lin Nan was very nervous about this person, because Han Meng had been forced by him to fight back, and the high swordsmanship could be imagined. And, just now. When that white light came, he also felt a sharp force. This man's martial arts are not below him.

"I know that your swordsmanship is superb, so I'm here to learn a lesson or two." Lin Nan has not really tried to compete with people for a long time, on the battlefield he uses a spear, and the dragon marksmanship is enough for him to defeat the enemy, and in private, he practices swordsmanship hard. But it was never forgotten.

I remember that Wang Yue once taught him the six incomplete swordsmanship, but he was too stupid to comprehend the essence, so he was never able to evolve the six-move swordsmanship into the dragon spearmanship. He only memorized the moves. But I didn't remember the key, so the six swordsmanship dances are a little uncomfortable.

Today, when facing the enemy, he naturally wants to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and use that set of swordsmanship, after all, it is Wang Yue's lifelong practice. Wang Yue broke his hand back then, and since then he has disappeared without a trace, he is the only successor of Wang Yue's swordsmanship, no matter what, he has to win glory on the face of Wang Yue, the first swordsman in the late Han Dynasty. What's more, he didn't want this person named Zhu Justice to take away Huangfu Jianshou.

"Are you really going to fight me?" Zhu Gong asked contemptuously.

"If you want to take him away, you must pass me!" Lin Nan was not afraid, with the horizontal sword in front of his chest, and shouted loudly.

"Okay, okay." Zhu Gongdao smiled and said, "Then you can attack me." ”

"Offended!" Lin Nan shouted, stabbed at Zhu Gongdao, the swordsmanship used was one of the six swords that Wang Yue taught back then, the sword was fast, accurate and abnormal, and it was extremely powerful to take Zhu Gongdao's chest.

Zhu Gongdao frowned, "Huh", and then his face regained calm, and praised: "Very good!" ”

His long sword stabbed Lin Nan's left chest obliquely, leading the attack in the middle and defending in the attack, which was a sharp swordsmanship with both offense and defense.

After Lin Nan saw it, he immediately shouted: "Good swordsmanship." ”

At this moment, Lin Nan's first sword had already changed its move, and the second sword stabbed out sharply.

Zhu Gongdao's long sword swung and pointed at Lin Nan's right shoulder, still a wonderful way to defend and attack, and to defend in attack.

Lin Nan was stunned, only to feel that there was no flaw in the sword, and it was difficult to fight the sword straight into it, so he had to cross the sword, and the tip of the sword was obliquely fingered, containing the intention of stabbing the opponent's lower abdomen, and it was also an attack in defense.

Zhu Gongdao immediately returned to the sword and said with a smile: "This move is wonderful." ”

The two of you come with a sword, and I go with a sword, and more than 20 moves were dismantled in an instant, and the two long swords have never touched each other.

Lin Nan saw that the opponent's swordsmanship was extremely complicated, since he learned Wang Yue's broken six swords, he had never encountered such a strong enemy, and the opponent's swordsmanship was not without flaws, but the tricks were unpredictable, and he couldn't attack his flaws.

Zhu Gongdao saw that Lin Nan's sword moves were endless, and every change was extremely familiar, and he still knew who the other party was. His martial arts are profound, and he dissolves them one by one, but after dismantling more than 40 moves, he feels a little suffocated when he comes out of the sword. He had been forced by Lin Nan to no longer hide his strength, and finally stabbed out with a sword, which turned out to be the first sword that Lin Nan stabbed at him, the sword move was extremely powerful, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Lin Nan's chest.

After Lin Nan saw it, he was taken aback, this was the remnant sword he had used before, and it couldn't be used in his hands, but now that it was used by Zhu Gongdao, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder in that sword, and it stabbed at him like a roar.

"Zheng!" After more than forty moves, the two of them collided with their swords for the first time, and some sparks were sparked in the night, although they were fleeting, they were very dazzling.

After the collision of the swords, both of their hands felt a tingling and slight pain. At the same time, he took a few steps back, still staring at each other.

"How can you make my swordsmanship?" Lin Nanhu asked suspiciously.

"Hahaha...... The swordsmanship of the world is always changing, but what you have learned is not in place, and you have only learned its shape. But I can't learn its essence, those six tricks of the remnant sword, I created it all my life, and the essence is very. I guess, your dragon marksmanship has not been improved at all! Zhu Gongdao no longer concealed it, and directly took off the hat on his head, revealing his true face.

"You ......" Lin Nan was pleasantly surprised when he saw the person in front of him. I didn't expect that Zhu Gongdao was Wang Yue, who disappeared, no wonder he was able to make that swordsmanship so exquisite.

"That's right, you just need to know who I am. However, that man is dead, from the moment he cut off his left hand, he is already dead, and now my name is Zhu Gongdao. Zhu Gongdao said lightly.

"You ...... Do you know? That's great, good luck. You quickly let him let me go......" Huangfu Jianshou saw Lin Nan's evil man wishing justice and acquaintance, and immediately shouted out happily.

Zhu Gongdao suddenly threw out his right hand. A white light shot out, and the tiny silver needle pierced directly into Huangfu Jianshou's sleeping hole, causing Huangfu Jianshou to fall asleep.

Seeing this, Lin Nan knew that Zhu Gongdao was unwilling to let Huangfu Jianshou hear their conversation, so he put away his long sword, hurriedly walked to Zhu Gongdao's side and asked, "Why did you rescue Huangfu Jianshou?" Don't sue me again to repay the favor......"

"You guessed it right. I really want to repay the favor. Zhu Gongdao said very happily, "It's just that it is to repay Zhu Hao's kindness, not Huangfu Jianshou." ”

"Zhu Hao?"

"I left with a broken hand because of blood loss. I fainted on the street, but it was Zhu Hao who rescued me, and asked the doctor to treat me, which can be regarded as my life-saving benefactor. In the past few years, I changed my name to Zhu Gongdao, traveled the rivers and lakes, and met Zhu Hao in Fenglingdu last winter, so I stayed on Thunder Mountain. I have put faith first all my life, and I will do my best to repay those who have been kind to me. ”

Lin Nan knew that Wang Yue was a person, in order to protect Zhang Rang, he also forgot to die, but today he didn't expect to meet him again in this situation, I don't know if it was providence to make people, or what's going on.

"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. I think you know better than I do......"

"Well, I once persuaded Zhu Hao, but Huangfu Jianshou and Zhu Hao are righteous brothers, and Huangfu Jianshou is a brother. Zhu Haozhong has the courage of his father, but Huangfu Jianshou is not right, trying to steal Hedong County and bewitch the people, I don't have a good impression of him. However, I must bring it back today. Zhu Gong said resolutely.

Lin Nan knew that he couldn't do justice, so he immediately said, "Very good, I'll go back with you." ”

Zhu Gongdao smiled, didn't say anything, walked to Huangfu Jianshou's side, and directly put Huangfu Jianshou on his shoulder.

"With you, I think I have a better chance of persuading Zhu Hao." Lin Nan understood what Zhu Gongdao meant, and followed behind Zhu Gongdao and quickly rushed towards the mountain.

"Your swordsmanship still needs to be refined, and it is due to the fact that you can't practice it. When this matter is over, I will explain to you all the essentials of the six swordsmanship, and help you practice marksmanship, which will greatly improve your martial arts in the future. ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "As soon as the matter is over, Master will go to Jicheng, I am the emperor now, and you are also the emperor, and your status is noble, which is much better than you wandering around." What's more, a teacher for one day and a father for life, the master is almost forty years old, and he must have a place to settle down after all, right? I am also a person who has sons now, and I will be grateful if Master can come out again as an emperor to teach my two sons swordsmanship. ”

Zhu Gongdao is very easy-going now, and it was unexpected to meet Lin Nan again. He has been wandering the rivers and lakes for a few years, and he has also heard about Lin Nan's affairs, and last year he heard that Lin Nan was called the emperor, and he was going to come back to see Lin Nan, but he met Zhu Hao on the way, which delayed the matter, and wanted to solve Zhu Hao's matter, and then go to Jicheng to find Lin Nan. There is an apprentice who became the emperor, what an honor, Zhu Justice is not a fool, naturally knows this benefit, he also wants to become famous, with this backer, there will be people who will write books for him in the future.

"Well, His Majesty is warmly invited, and the grass people dare not work?" Zhu Gong replied.

Lin Nan laughed and said, "That's the best." ”

So, the two of them chatted very happily along the way, chatting while walking, Lin Nan also knew his experience in the past few years from Zhu Gongdao's mouth, and suddenly found that sometimes it is extremely happy to be a ranger.

It's dark. Lin Nan, under the leadership of Zhu Gongdao, took some less unjust roads, and soon arrived at the big village of Lei Shou Mountain.

When entering Dazhai, Zhu Gongdao pulled out the silver needle inserted in the sleeping hole on Huangfu Jianshou's body, and then carried Huangfu Jianshou and the old man to the hall of the cottage.

Zhu Hao didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red, and he saw that Zhu Gongdao came back with Huangfu Jianshou. hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for wishing the hero to save your life, I thank you on behalf of Brother Huangfu." ”

"Don't thank me, thank him if you want to thank him, it was he who agreed, and I was able to bring Huangfu Jianshou back." Zhu Gongdao hurriedly pointed at Lin Nan and said.

Zhu Hao's face was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw Zhu Gongdao pointing at Lin Nan and talking like this, he felt in his heart: "Could it be that this old man's martial arts are higher than Zhu Gongdao?" ”

He looked at Lin Nan and saw that Lin Nan's face was full of red, especially his two eyes. He was so bright that he arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your life-saving grace, dare to ask your father-in-law's name, and the younger generations will repay him in the future......."

Without waiting for Zhu Hao to finish speaking, Lin Nan automatically tore off the beard pasted on his chin and said, "Brother Zhu, do you still know me?" ”

Zhu Hao felt strange as soon as Lin Nan entered the door, at such an old age. The pace is light and the posture is vigorous. Even the eyes were blazing, and now I saw that Lin Nan had removed his fake beard, and even the fake wrinkles on his face had been removed, revealing a handsome and resolute face.

He looked closely, and there seemed to be a bit of déjà vu, but he couldn't remember who it was. Asked, "Your Excellency is ......?"

"In the Lower Lin Zinan!"

After Zhu Hao heard this, he was stunned, and looked at Lin Nan in shock, as if he had seen this person before, and the scenes of the past came to mind. Suddenly, there was a sudden brightness in front of me. When he reacted, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed: "Sinner Zhu Hao, see His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom!" ”

Lin Nan hurriedly helped Zhu Hao up and said, "There is no emperor here, only friends." Brother Zhu, you are the queen of the Han Dynasty, why did you fall here? My Great Xia Kingdom is lacking talents like you, I don't know if Brother Zhu is willing to submit to my Great Xia Kingdom? ”

Zhu Hao's face showed a trace of embarrassment, looked at Huangfu Jianshou, who was still asleep, and sighed: "I can't decide this matter......

"I have heard Zhu Daxia say about you and Huangfu Jianshou, if you want, you and Huangfu Jianshou can come to my Great Xia Kingdom, the terrain of Thunder Hand Mountain is dangerous, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there are many fierce beasts here, I heard that there are thirty or forty thousand people here, presumably it is very difficult to eat, drink, live and travel. Even if you don't plan for yourself, you should plan for the people, right? My Great Xia Kingdom is not as you think, if you are willing to accept Zhao'an, the prefect of Hedong will be served by you, Hedong is an important place, adjacent to the Qin State, and the Xiongnu in the north, if this place is not pacified, it will inevitably become a future trouble. Lin Nandao.

Zhu Hao knew that Lin Nan ruled the country with benevolence and righteousness, and the matter of Anyi, in the final analysis, the fault was still on their side. Originally, Zhu Hao and Huangfu Jianshou surrendered, but who knew that after Huangfu Jianshou saw Han Meng entering the city with a very small number of troops, he had evil thoughts, changed his mind halfway, attacked Han Meng at night, and set fire to it, causing more than 10,000 innocent people to die in the fire. Later, Huangfu Jianshou even put the responsibility on Han Meng, saying that Han Meng did not accept surrender and killed at will, which provoked a popular uprising, so he took his troops to Thunder Hand Mountain.

"Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, and for the matter of Lei Shou Mountain, he does not hesitate to risk his life and visit in person, if Zhu Hao does not return to obedience, he does not know the current affairs. Your Majesty is on top, please accept Zhu Hao's worship! Zhu Hao thought about it, and for the sake of the back of more than 40,000 people, he decided to surrender and immediately knelt on the ground and bowed.

Lin Nan didn't wait for Zhu Hao to kneel, so he hugged Zhu Hao and said, "Governor Zhu doesn't need to be polite, I said earlier, there are only friends here, no monarchs and ministers." Although I am the emperor, I am no different from you. It's just that Huangfu Jianshou woke up after a while, what should I do? He doesn't seem to be as reasonable as Brother Zhu, right? ”

"Huangfu Jianshou is also a ghost for a while, and the criminals have their own ways to persuade him. In fact, the reason why Huangfu Jianshou became like this was also because of the accidental death of his father, General Huangfu. At that time, my father and General Huangfu were invited by Liu Yu to mediate the situation of the princes' melee, and they didn't want to be killed by Er Yuan during the banquet. Huangfu Jianshou used to have a good relationship with Dong Zhuo, and the second Yuan wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so he searched for me and Brother Huangfu everywhere, and the two of us hid at this time, but it is a pity that Liu Yu's son Liu He became Yuan Shao's ghost......"

As soon as he talked about the past, Zhu Hao's heart was sad. The reason why he and Huangfu Jianshou ended up here is also a bitterness. On the way to escape, the two remained incognito, and it was not until Yuan Shao was defeated by Lin Nan that they were able to restore their names, in the final analysis. Lin Nan can be regarded as avenging his father for the two of them, and today he came here to recruit them in person, which is already a great honor for Zhu Hao.

"It's just that Huangfu Jianshou is a fierce person, does Brother Zhu have a way to hold him? In case he doesn't agree, there will be a fuss, but I'm afraid that this matter will still not be able to be handled...... "Lin Nan is always worried about Huangfu Jianshou, for fear that Huangfu Jianshou will not agree, in case of trouble. It is the people here who suffer.

"Please rest assured, I have my own way to deal with him, and I will definitely be able to persuade him to return to His Majesty."

Zhu Gongdao said on the side: "If I can, I hope to abolish his martial arts and seal several big points on his body, so that he can no longer use his martial arts......"

"Don't be like this...... Zhu Hao is already very sure, Zhu Gongdao and Lin Nan are old acquaintances, and immediately bowed to Lin Nan. His Majesty, Huangfu Jianshou is actually not bad. It's just a ghost for a while, I have my own way to resolve the resentment in his heart, and I also ask His Majesty to give Huangfu Jianshou a chance to mend his ways, maybe in the future, Huangfu Jianshou will make meritorious contributions to the Great Xia State......"

Lin Nan thought about it and felt that what Zhu Hao said made sense. Then he said: "Well, then according to your words, give Huangfu Jianshou a chance to mend his ways." If I'm not mistaken, now that Han Meng has occupied Fenglingdu, the periphery of Thunder Hand Mountain has been surrounded. I don't want anyone to know too much about who I am, so ......"

"I'll get it." Zhu Hao and Zhu Gongdao said together.

Lin Nan glued his beard again, and then glued the fake wrinkles as well, restoring the appearance of an old dragon clock.

"Brother Zhu, do you have pen and ink?" After Lin Nan sorted out his appearance, he suddenly asked.

Zhu Hao said: "Yes! ”

After a while, Zhu Hao personally brought the pen and ink, and after placing it neatly, he picked up the pen and handed it to Lin Nan, and said, "Your Majesty, please use the pen ......."

After Lin Nan took the pen, he immediately wrote hard, wrote a holy decree freely, and took out a royal seal from his bosom and stamped it with a seal. After finishing the matter, Lin Nan handed over the written decree to Zhu Hao, and said: "This is written by me, and there is also my private seal on it, although it is not stamped with a jade seal, but it can also represent the authenticity of this holy decree." After I am gone, you can take up your post in Anyi with this holy decree, and scatter the exiles and thieves, and if there are any soldiers, form an army on the spot, and Hedong will henceforth be under the direct jurisdiction of my court, and will not belong to any state. The displaced people in Luoyang have something to do with you, and the rest are inconvenient to meddle, so it is better to leave it to you to govern. ”

After Zhu Hao received the holy decree, he was grateful, he saw what was written on the holy decree, and named him the prefect of Hedong, the general of the town army, and even Huangfu Jianshou was also named the general of the captivity.

"Xie Majesty Xià Longen, Zhu Hao will inevitably govern the people of Hedong to live and work in peace and contentment!"

Lin Nan picked up Zhu Hao here, glanced at Zhu Gongdao, and said: "I'm leaving, this is for you, you take this to Jicheng, find Jia Xu, the Privy Councillor, and he will arrange you properly." ”

Zhu Gongdao took the jade pendant handed over by Lin Nan and asked, "Where is Your Majesty going?" ”

"When I go to Qin, I still have very important things to do." Lam Nam Road.

Zhu Hao hurriedly said, "Qin State? The Qin State and the Great Xia State are hostile countries, and if Your Majesty goes like this, isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger? The guilty minister implored His Majesty to retract his fate. ”

"Your Majesty, what Governor Zhu said is reasonable, I just came back from Qin State last year, and the situation in Qin State is not very stable now, if there is anything important about Your Majesty, you can leave it to me to do......"

"If you don't go into the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, there are some things that I have to go in person to work."

Zhu Gongdao thought about it and said: "I have drifted all my life, and I can meet His Majesty again this time, which is really a blessing for three lives." If I don't go back to Jicheng, it won't be interesting for me to go. It's better to follow His Majesty to Qin State, with my swordsmanship, if there is any danger, I can also safely protect His Majesty and leave. ”

Lin Nan saw that Zhu Gong wanted to follow him, so he did not object, and said: "Okay, with the emperor accompanied, I am more confident in this trip." ”

Zhu Gongdao was very grateful to Lin Nan, and always called him the emperor, and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty can just call me justice." ”

After Zhu Hao heard the conversation between the two, he realized that Zhu Gongdao was Lin Nan's master, no wonder the two were so close.

Lin Nan instructed Zhu Hao some things again, and Zhu Hao was also very useful after hearing it, after finishing speaking. Lin Nan, accompanied by Zhu Gongdao, left the Thunder Hand Mountain Village together. Zhu Hao wanted to send it, but Lin Nan refused.

Not long after Lin Nan and Zhu Gongdao left, Zhu Hao was still standing at the door of the cottage and looking around, waving goodbye to Lin Nan.

"I really didn't expect that he was actually the dog emperor......"

Zhu Hao heard this in his ear and hurriedly turned his face. Seeing that Huangfu Jianshou didn't know when he was standing behind him, he hurriedly said, "Big brother, when will you ......?"

"I hear you all clearly......"

"You...... Did you wake up early? ”

"Hmm."

"Then you ......"

"You don't need to say it, I know it, the fault is all mine, since he can come to persuade him to surrender in person as the emperor, what else can I not let go? Besides, Yuan Shao was also killed by him, and his father's revenge is equivalent to him avenging us for us. ”

Zhu Hao said: "Big brother can think like this." I was relieved. In fact, His Majesty xià he ......"

"I understand, it's all my fault."

Zhu Hao stopped talking, and smiled at Huangfu Jianshou. After that, Zhu Hao and Huangfu Jianshou led the crowd out of Thunder Hand Mountain together, preparing to surrender to Han Meng.

Lin Nan and Zhu Gongdao returned the original way, and as soon as they came out of Thunder Hand Mountain, they saw Han Meng leading the army to block the road out of the mountain.

Han Meng saw that Lin Nan and Zhu Gongdao came out together, and he looked very nervous. Immediately drew his sword and said: "I wish justice, let go of the envoy!" ”

Lin Nan smiled: "It's okay. He is his own person. ”

"Your own people?" Han Meng couldn't help but be stunned, this person had trapped himself to death twice, was it really his own person?

While speaking, Lin Nan and Zhu Gongdao walked in front of Han Meng and the others together, Sima Yi squeezed out of the crowd, grabbed the corner of Lin Nan's clothes and said, "Master." Are you okay? ”

"You want something to happen to me?" Lin Nan asked rhetorically.

"The apprentice didn't dare to ...... The apprentice didn't dare to ......," Sima Yi said fearfully.

Lin Nan smiled and took Sima Yi's hand and said to Han Meng: "After a while, Huangfu Jianshou and Zhu Hao will lead the crowd out of the mountain to surrender, and the aftermath will be handed over to them, after you accept the surrender." All the troops of the annexed states shall be withdrawn and annexed to the states, and not one of them shall remain in the territory of Hedong. ”

"No!"

After speaking, Lin Nan took Sima Yi and wished justice to follow behind Lin Nan and was about to leave.

Seeing that Lin Nan was leaving, Han Meng hurriedly shouted, "Your Excellency, please stay, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Lin Nan nodded, let go of Sima Yi's hand, and said to Han Meng, "You come with me." ”

Han Meng followed Lin Nan for a long distance, and after stopping in the dense forest, he said, "Your Excellency, I don't know if I should say something or not!" ”

Lin Nandao: "I know what you want to say......"

"The envoy knows what the lower official is going to say?" Han Meng said in surprise.

"Well, you already know who I am, right?" Lin Nan nodded and said.

Han Meng looked left and right, the thick tree trunk covered their bodies, and the soldiers in the distance could not see their situation in the woods at all, he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "The criminal minister Han Meng knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Well, you are indeed guilty, guilty of deceit. If I hadn't happened to be here, I'd have been kept in the dark by you. You take it for granted that the Thunder Hand Mountain people are ordinary mountain bandits, but you don't want this group of mountain bandits to be so stubborn that they have entrusted you for half a year. You deceived your superiors and subordinates, causing the lives here to be miserable, and everyone in danger of the people, and even more so to resist our Great Xia Kingdom, and you will not escape the blame. ”

"The guilty minister is guilty, please punish your majesty!" Han Meng looked guilty and bowed his head and said.

Lin Nandao: "On your past merits, temporarily deduct one month's salary, and the governor of the state, you will immediately step down, write to the Senate, and ask the Senate to appoint a suitable person to serve." ”

"The sinner obeys, and the sinner has no complaints."

"So be it, I'll go first." As soon as Lin Nan's voice fell, he strode towards the crowd, and greeted Zhu Gongdao and Sima Yi, and Zhu Gongdao and Sima Yi left with him.

Han Meng was relieved to see Lin Nan leaving, raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and said to himself: "It's really dangerous, Your Majesty is extraordinarily gracious, it's really my luck......"

……

Zhu Gongdao and Sima Yi rode horses together and walked behind Lin Nan.

After walking a long way, Sima Yi saw that Zhu Gongdao was wearing a hat on his head, and his left hand wearing black gloves had been hanging in front of him, and had never moved, so he felt very curious and asked in a low voice: "Master, who is this person, and is he going to go on the road with us?" ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "He is your master." ”

"Master? Is it Master's Master? Sima Yi asked.

"Hmm." Lin Nan said lightly.

Sima Yi glanced at Zhu Gongdao and asked, "Master, why is your left hand so strange and always wearing gloves?" ”

Lin Nan scolded: "Zhongda! Don't ask what you shouldn't! ”

"Zhongda knows." Sima Yi saw that Lin Nan was angry, so he stopped talking.

Zhu Gongdao smiled and said, "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, it doesn't matter. If you want to see it, I can take off the gloves and show you. ”

"No, I shouldn't see it, I won't watch it." Sima Yi raised his head, looked into the distance, and said seriously.

Zhu Gongdao laughed and asked, "Your Majesty, where did you get such a child?" ”

"I'm not a child!" Sima Yi retorted.

"Well, I know, you're a big kid." Zhu Gongdao said with a smile on his face.

Lin Nan didn't speak, just laughed, knowing that this was Zhu Gongdao teasing Sima Yi. Suddenly, I felt that there was one more companion along the way, and maybe it would be more lively.

After noon, the three of them came to Fenglingdu together, Fenglingdu had been taken over by the army of the Great Xia Kingdom, Han Meng left troops here to garrison, and the soldiers saw Lin Nan and others arriving, so they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

So, Lin Nan ordered the boats to be prepared and sent them across the river, and the soldiers did the same.

After the group came to the west bank of the Yellow River, Lin Nan looked up and saw the Tongguan, where the towering Tongguan stood and was really a majestic tiger.

The east gate of Tongguan is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north, faces the corner of Qilin Mountain, has the far ditch moat in the east, is the only gate to enter the pass from the east, is dangerous and abnormal, there is the tendency of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not opened".

When entering the customs, go up along the steep ramp outside the east gate, raise your eyes to look up at the Guanlou and the majestic Qilin Mountain, just like a fierce tiger with a majestic eye.

As soon as he got off the boat, Lin Nan could vaguely see the soldiers patrolling the Qin army on the tower of Tongguan City, but the soldiers standing on the gate city might not be able to see them, because the vicinity was very tightly blocked by the woods, giving people a gloomy feeling.

"Now that we have stepped into the territory of Qin, we must be careful in everything we say and do, from now on, my surname is Tang, my name is bright, and my words are clear." Lin Nan said very cautiously.

"I'm mute, and I'm Uncle Tang's house slave." Zhu Gong said very happily.

"I ...... My name is Ma Yi. Sima Yi said.

Lin Nan nodded and said, "That's it." It's just that the gate of Tongguan is closed, how can you enter the Qin realm from here? ”

"There is a small road here, most people don't know, as long as you climb over it, you can cross the copper pass." Zhu Gong replied.

"It's strange, the Tongguan is not open, it is forbidden to pass, even if the merchants of Fenglingdu cross the Yellow River, the caravan cannot enter the Qin realm, why do they still want to cross the river from Fenglingdu?" Lin Nan said strangely.

Zhu Gongdao replied: "In fact, the Tongguan guards are not heavily guarded, as long as it is a pack team, it will generally be let through, but first of all, it is necessary to hand over some money to the people guarding the pass, and most of the pack teams that can go out of the customs are also allowed in the territory of Qin, that is to say, Qin encourages some merchants to go out of the customs for trade, but the money obtained, the merchants and the Qin court share it equally. Therefore, those who can really enter and exit from this pass are equivalent to caravans that Qin Guo knows the roots. ”

After listening to this explanation, Lin Nan was relieved, and immediately said to Zhu Gongdao: "It's a pity that we don't have a team, otherwise I would have to enter the Qin realm from the main gate." (To be continued......)
