The weather in May often rains, especially in the past few days when Qin Qiong is preparing to go to Dengzhou, the weather is even more cloudy, but Qin Qiong has no choice, the emperor has a case, he must go to Dengzhou in these days!

When he arrived in Dengzhou, Qin Qiong glued the prepared beard to his face, and swung his axe towards the city gate guard to kill him. Where did the poor gatekeeper think that he would encounter such a bad star today, unprepared, he was not Qin Qiong's opponent at all, and Qin Qiong was all thrown to the ground in a few clicks. And Qin Qiong, in order to show his identity as a ringing horse, shouted loudly: "The gatekeeper, go and tell the old man to support the king, just say that the ringing horse that robbed him of the emperor gang is coming to him, and let him prepare another 480,000 taels of silver to send it, otherwise grandpa and I will go to smash his backer king's mansion tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, Qin Qiong swaggered into the city, how dare the soldiers guarding the gate slack off, and immediately notified Shangguan, and Shangguan went to tell the king of the backer, this can make Luo Fang and Xue Liang angry, just a ringing horse, actually daring to come to Dengzhou Mansion to spread wild, it is simply no one in sight! And they were defeated that day, and they still have a fire in their hearts, and they are trying to get back face. The two exchanged glances, and then asked Ying to go and catch the ringing horse, but Yang Lin, the reliable mountain king, just said softly: "It's okay, you send someone to keep an eye on him and don't let him run away, isn't he going to smash my palace tomorrow?" This king wants to see if there is really such courage in this world! ”

On the other side, Qin Qiong threw himself into an inn, but after eating and drinking, he didn't see the officers and soldiers come to arrest people, and he couldn't figure out the meaning of the king of the backer, so he had to rush to the king's mansion with an axe, and shouted outside the gate of the house: "Old man Yang Lin, let you prepare the silver for grandpa, why don't you send it to grandpa, now grandpa comes to ask for it in person, and the acquaintance immediately prepares it for grandpa, let grandpa take it away......"

His scolding naturally alarmed the backer king Yang Lin, originally Luo Fang and Xue Liang sent people to stare at him, so they naturally knew that he had come to the backer king's mansion. With Yang Lin's order, Luo Fang, Xue Liang and the Taibao led hundreds of generals to step out of the mansion and surround Qin Qiong, while Yang Lin stood in front of the door with bright armor and asked Luo Fang: "Fang'er, is this the person who robbed the emperor?" ”

Unexpectedly, Luo Fang replied: "Father, it's not this person. The leader of the robbers of the Emperor Gang has two leaders, one is fat and bearded, and he is holding a Xuanhua axe; The other was of medium stature, with a fair complexion, and was armed with a five-tooth steel fork. Although this man is also full of beard and armed with a large axe, his figure is a little thin, and it is unknown whether it is the other leader. ”

When Yang Lin heard this, he was furious, and scolded Qin Qiong: "Where did you come from, what is the relationship between the two people who robbed the Emperor Gang and you, hurry up and recruit from the truth, otherwise the old man will take your head as soon as the dragon stick comes out, so that you will never have a chance to speak!" ”

As soon as Qin Qiong heard this, he immediately understood that he had not been able to deceive the people of Dengzhou Mansion, but this was also in his expectation, after all, Cheng Biting Jin was much fatter than him, and he was more burly than You Junda, and he said that he was Cheng Da and Eugene, so he scolded back: "You are Yang Lin's old horseman?" Grandpa told you the truth, your emperor was robbed by your grandfather and two Taoist brothers, but your 480,000 taels of silver is too little, and our three families have a split account, there is not much left at all, and two months is not enough to spend! So grandpa will come back to you and ask you for some ......."

"Bold maniac, let out wild words! You are so bold and rude to my father, see that Ben Taibao will capture you alive! Luo Fang listened to Qin Qiong's "grandpa", and couldn't help but be angry, plus because he lost the emperor's platform, he was now a guilty body, and he needed to show something, so he asked Yang Lin, and when Yang Lin nodded and agreed, he raised his knife and killed him.

The knife moves with the person, the person moves with the enemy, Luo Fang stabs and slashes, turns and tilts, and Qin Qiong, who kills directly, dodges back and forth, without a trace of room for counterattack, and can't help but be more happy in his heart. He thought that the ringing horse in front of him was so difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he was too worried at all, and the other party didn't even know the basic axe moves! And this is also Qin Qiong's most helpless, although Qin Qiong can use his own strength to defeat the soldiers guarding the door, but once he meets a person like Luo Fang Xue Liang who has a foundation in martial arts, he will soon expose his weakness of not using an axe at all.

Qin Qiong was in a hurry, and pushed away the knife that Luo Fang stabbed with an axe, and then grabbed Luo Fang's knife shaft with his left hand, and then kicked Luo Fang's waist. Luo Fang was a little stupid at this time, although he knew that Qin Qiong was not very good at using an axe, but he didn't expect the other party's strength to be so great, after the three-pointed two-edged knife was clamped, no matter how much he broke free, it was useless, so he had to use his lower right leg to block the opponent's attack. The two of them went back and forth, comparing their skills in the next game, and after four or five rounds, Qin Qiong kicked behind Luo Fang's knee, and Luo Fang immediately knelt on the ground. Qin Qiong kicked out again, Luo Fang couldn't bear it, and was finally kicked out of the way by Qin Qiong.

Woo rumble! A muffled thunder sounded in the sky that had been silent for a long time, and a gust of cold wind blew in front of the backer king's mansion, and the dark clouds in the southeast direction also swept in quickly, but this could not stop the battle in front of the backer king's mansion!

Seeing Luo Fang's defeat, Xue Liang stepped forward with a gun, but it was Qin Qiong who struck first, and the big axe roared in front of him, and he dodged it with a low body, and then stabbed the opponent in the waist with a shot. In the previous battle between Luo Fang and Qin Qiong, Xue Liang had already seen that although Qin Qiong's axe moves were clumsy, his close-quarters skills were still good, so he did not fight closely, but kept his distance to consume the opponent. Sure enough, after seven moves, due to the difficulty of swinging the axe, Qin Qiong was obviously tired, and Xue Liang took the opportunity to smash it down with a shot, and the two were deadlocked for a while, Luo Fang thought that Qin Qiong was at the end of his rope, but he didn't want Qin Qiong to inhale suddenly, and he opened his tiger head gun, and the big axe in his hand was thrown aside, and he actually stepped out and grabbed him! Frightened, he hurriedly raised his gun to fight back, but was caught by Qin Qiong again. However, this time Qin Qiong did not fight with him, but used the body of the gun to prevent Xue Liang from distancing himself from him, and then forced Xue Liangsong's tiger head gun to get out of his hands with a close fight.

With two bangs, Xue Liang was slapped on the chest by Qin Qiong's two palms, and the tiger head gun was also snatched away by Qin Qiong. At this time, the cold wind that had been howling for a long time finally brought a little drizzle, soaking everyone up, but Yang Lin did not order a truce, and no one dared to act half a step. And Xue Liang was unwilling to suffer this humiliation, and was about to step forward to regain the weapon, but Qin Qiong shook three shots in a row, forcing him not to dare to step forward again. Only then did he know that the other party was still a good hand with a gun!

"Five Tiger Soul Breaker Gun!"

The three shots played by Qin Qiong may not be recognized by others, but Yang Lin, who is watching from the sidelines, can see it at a glance! At the same time, Yang Lin couldn't help but wonder: How could a ringing horse learn Luo Yi's Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear? Why don't you use the gun you are good at, but you don't use an axe that you are not good at? When Yang Lin was puzzled, he immediately took the Zhenshan Prison Dragon Stick from the hands of the person behind him, took three steps and made two steps, and with a wave of the long stick, it smashed into Qin Qiong in a moment.

Yang Lin's Zhenshan Prison Dragon Stick has followed him to fight in the south and north for many years, and there are countless heroes and famous generals who have fallen under the stick, compared to Yang Lin's close-range weapon Water and Fire Prison Dragon Stick! Qin Qiong also knew this, so she naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately raised her gun to take the move, and when the guns and sticks met, Yang Lin suddenly stopped, twisted the stick body, and then pushed away the tiger head gun, and drew a half circle to the right along the way, and the tiger head gun was unloaded by Yang Lin to attack. Immediately, Yang Lin slapped Qin Qiong's legs with a stick, so frightened that Qin Qiong hurriedly supported the ground with the tip of the spear and turned over to avoid the blow.

However, Yang Lin, as a veteran of the battlefield, how could he let the enemy escape so easily, the prison dragon stick spun in a circle, and while Qin Qiong had just gained a foothold, he hit the top of Qin Qiong's head again, Qin Qiong hurriedly raised his gun to protect it, but because he was too hasty, he was numb by Yang Linzhen's tiger mouth, Yang Lin took the opportunity to withdraw the prison dragon stick, buckled the gun body with the two forks on the top of the stick, and then picked it hard, and then picked the tiger head gun and flew out. At this point, Qin Qiong knew that she had been defeated, and in the face of Yang Lin's smash again, she could only close her eyes and wait for death, and sighed in her heart: Sure enough! Fangshi's words are still not enough to believe!

However, the moment he imagined did not happen, although Yang Lin's dragon rod fell, it only stopped half an inch away from his forehead. Qin Qiong looked at Yang Lin and didn't know why, until a black thing fell from his face, he realized that it was his fake beard that was washed away by the rain, causing him to reveal his true face, so Yang Lin didn't hit that stick!

"Qin Qiong! Father-in-law, is it ......" Luo Fang recognized Qin Qiong, but was stopped by Xue Liang as soon as he was halfway through speaking, and he found that Yang Lin's somewhat shrugged shoulders seemed to be suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Bring him in!" Yang Lin put away the prison dragon stick, threw it to Luo Fang Xue Liang, and walked straight into the mansion door.

In the main hall of the Backing Mountain King's Mansion, Yang Lin was sitting precariously, looking serious on the surface, but in fact, he was extremely happy in his heart. As early as the Xiao family in Lanling, he fell in love with Qin Qiong's ability, and wanted to transfer Qin Qiong to his side to serve first, and then take the opportunity to accept Qin Qiong as his righteous son when Qin Qiong had some merits, but he didn't expect this kind of good thing that others couldn't ask for, but Qin Qiong refused! However, when he was disappointed, Qin Qiong pretended to make a big fuss in the state of Dengzhou, although those rude words made him a little angry, but in front of the heart of love, these were insignificant. Now that his emotions have calmed down, he looked at Qin Qiong in the hall, and asked: "Qin Qiong, I remember that two months ago, this king invited you to come to Dengzhou Mansion to take up a post, but you refused on the grounds of filial piety to your mother, why are you pretending to be a loud horse to make trouble with me Dengzhou Mansion, and insulting this king?" Do you know that with these two charges alone, this king will be able to correct you on the spot! ”

Facing Yang Lin's questioning, Qin Qiong sighed in her heart that what Xiao Zhuo said was true, but she still didn't dare to be contemptuous, after all, Yang Lin hadn't explicitly said that he wanted to forgive him, so he replied: "Lord Qiqi, I came to Dengzhou to serve before, and I really had to give up because of my mother's opposition. Today's incident is the robbery of the emperor, and the Tang Lord of Jinan Mansion has been appointed to Qin Qiong, but Qin Qiong is incompetent and has not been able to capture Xiangma. Now that the deadline for handing over the case is approaching, and the whole Jinan Mansion will be questioned at that time, Qin Qiong has no choice but to make this decision, hoping that Qin Qiong's death alone can calm the anger of the prince and change the life of the governor of Jinan Prefecture. Therefore, Qin Qiong tried his best to provoke the prince just now, if the prince beat me to death in anger, there would be no proof of death at that time, and the prince could only believe that I was clearly catching fast, but I was actually ringing a horse. ”

"Okay, you Qin Qiong, you dare to deceive this king like this, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?" Yang Lin slapped the seat hard, Huo stood up, Qin Qiong immediately bowed to the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Qin Qiong is guilty, let the prince fall, there will be no complaints!" ”

"Good! Qin Qiong, although you are guilty, but your courage and courage, this king is very appreciative, so this king also gives you a chance to atone for your crimes, you first serve in my Dengzhou Mansion, the emperor's gang, I will repair a letter to Jinan Mansion, and then give a grace period of one month, if there is still no result after a month, the officials of Jinan Mansion will be fined for three years to show punishment! Then Yang Lin shouted again: "Luo Fang, Xue Liang! ”

"Erchen is here!"

"Erchen is here!"

The two walked out in unison, and Yang Lin immediately ordered: "The two of you lost the emperor's platform, you should have been guilty, but remembering your many years of achievements, my father will give you another chance to make up for your merits." A few days ago, Wei's father sent a letter to the Xiao family in Lanling, and the head of the Xiao family was willing to lend another 500,000 taels. Now that these silver taels have been recast, you will immediately go with Qin Qiong to raise them, and then escort them to Luoyang, if there is another difference this time, the three of you will come to see you! ”

"The retainers obey!"

"The retainers obey!"

"Qin Qiong takes orders!"

――――――

At this time, in the Jiangdu Palace, Xiao Zhuo was thinking about when the current saint would return to Luoyang. On this southern tour, the saint did not see the Qionghua bloom as he wished, because just three days before the dragon boat arrived in Jiangdu, the Qionghua had already withered! However, the terroir and warm climate of the south of the Yangtze River have made the saint stay here for more than a month, until these days, the queen has restrained the demon concubines from harming people according to her words, and Xiao Zhuo has gradually relaxed from being cautious at the beginning.

Wow! Yuwen Chengdu walked into Xiao Zhuo's room quickly, and said urgently: "Xiao Zhuo, quickly prepare your things, Your Majesty has a will, and the dragon boat will return to Beijing immediately!" ”

"Why are you in such a hurry? Wasn't it okay just now? Xiao Zhuo remembered that before he came back, His Majesty was still feasting with his ministers, why did he order to return to Beijing in a blink of an eye?

"The Luoyang Ministry of Rites reported that Mrs. Xuanhua had died, and His Majesty was anxious to rush back to Luoyang to mourn, so he ordered to leave immediately."

Mrs. Xuanhua? Xiao Zhuo vaguely remembered that when his father reunited with Xiao Meiniang's sister and brother, the woman who stood on one side but was eye-catching, so beautiful and dignified. However, because it was the old people of Nan Chen, she could only stay in the palace and became the maid of Queen Dugu, but Xiao Meiniang was married by the emperor to the saint who was still the king of Jin at that time because she had the Xiao family as her backer.

However, this was all when Xiao Zhuo did not enter the Daomen, and Xiao Zhuo returned to Luoyang from Panlong Mountain and met Yuan Tiangang, so he had a new understanding of this matter. He knew that Chen Xuanhua was actually a cat clan who had already repented, and because the spiritual power and demonic power in his body were in a state of transformation, he had to use Xiao Meiniang's protection to protect him, otherwise he would probably be killed by a cultivator. And she entered the palace as Queen Dugu's maid, and she can better grasp the situation in the palace, and King Jin was able to overthrow the prince so quickly, I'm afraid it was mostly because of this reason. Whether this matter was intentional or not, outsiders don't know, but Xiao Zhuo thinks that Chen Xuanhua must have added some help. However, thinking of Chen Xuanhua's death, Xiao Zhuo was puzzled again: the death of people in the royal family has its own regulations, and the Ministry of Rites should also indicate the cause of death when playing the table, and the death of illness is death from disease; The collapse was a sudden death, but now the Ministry of Rites is dead! Could it be that the cause of death is unknown? But who can make the cause of death of a cat clan with a thousand-year-old cultivation unknown? The only person in Luoyang City who has this ability is probably his senior brother Yuan Tiangang!

Xiao Zhuo was puzzled and rushed to the dragon boat with Yuwen Chengdu to gather, and as soon as he arrived at the river port, he saw Xiao Meiniang standing on the dragon boat with an angry face, especially after seeing Xiao Zhuo, that look, Xiao Zhuo could feel the surging killing intent under the boat, but because Yuwen Chengdu was also there, he had to endure it.

The dragon boats set sail quickly, the five dragon boats with people set off first, and the four large ships that transported supplies stayed behind to continue to prepare for the food and clothing of the fleet. Because the weather has entered the summer at this time, it is the time when the southeast wind is frequent, the dragon boat sails away, and the speed is also very fast, and it is thousands of miles away from the river capital in just two days. On the night of the third day, Xiao Zhuo was meditating in the rest cabin, when he suddenly felt a powerful spiritual power enveloping him, and then a thunderclap resounded through the sky, directly waking Xiao Zhuo up from his state of concentration.

Xiao Zhuo pushed open the window and looked out, but saw that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the night sky, and there was no trace of clouds and rain, so he couldn't help but wonder what the reason for this thunderous sound, so he hurriedly took out three tortoise shells from his arms and started a hexagram, but the hexagram turned out to surprise him.

"There is no other day! It turned out to be the royal road police thunder! Xiao Zhuo was also taken aback. Since the ancient road, there are no two days in the sky, there are no two kings in the country, who is on the dragon boat at this time to get the emperor's order, causing the thunder to warn? Xiao Zhuo was puzzled, and heard the sound of footsteps outside the cabin, as if something terrible had happened, so he followed out. When he stepped onto the deck and saw the guards and maids running around, he finally understood what was happening. There are no two days in the sky, there are no two kings in the country, and now two people with the emperor's order are in the same fleet, how can they be compatible? And the result of incompatibility is the current situation: the north-east wind has turned into a north-west wind! The act against the sky finally led to something against the sky! The soldiers and boatmen were busy putting away the sails, so that the ship would not be blown backwards, and at the same time, one by one, the ministers also waited for the dragon boat, presumably the saint summoned them to discuss countermeasures, but among these people, Xiao Zhuo saw the culprit who caused this - Li Mi!

When Li Mi boarded the dragon boat, the previous humble and respectful attitude was long gone, replaced by a kind of arrogance that was empty-eyed, and even between his eyebrows, there was a contempt and snickering joy.

"Lord Li's life!" Xiao Zhuo suddenly said when Li Mi passed by: "I just don't know if you, who originally had no blessing and no luck, can afford to take on the great responsibility of the country?" ”

Li Mi was obviously stunned when he heard this, but he still pretended to be confused and asked, "Is Xiao Gongzi talking to me?" Why can't I understand what Xiao Gongzi said? ”

"Hmph, if you go against the sky, the sky will punish you, Lord Li will do it himself!" Xiao Zhuo dropped this sentence and walked back to his cabin. After a cup of tea, Yuwen Chengdu came over to check Xiao Zhuo's condition, but his face was extremely ugly.

"What's wrong, Chengdu?" Xiao Zhuo asked Yuwen Chengdu to sit down.

"Your Majesty, he ......" Yuwen Chengdu rarely swallowed and spit out, and finally punched the edge of the bed, and said angrily: "Just now, Your Majesty convened the ministers to discuss the sudden change in the wind direction, and after the hundred officials discussed, they came up with three solutions: the first is to wait for the wind direction to change before sailing; the second is to move ashore and return to Luoyang by water; There is another kind...... It is to recruit the people along the river as slender men and pull the dragon boat forward! ”

"Hmmm! Although the first one is feasible, when the wind direction changes, I am afraid that when I return to Luoyang, I will only see the rotting corpse of Mrs. Xuanhua. The second is the safest......" Xiao Zhuo stopped suddenly, because he thought of Yuwen Chengdu's series of abnormal behaviors, and realized that things might not be so natural, so he tried to ask: "Could it be that Your Majesty chose the third option?" That's broken! ”

Seeing that Yuwen Chengdu nodded, Xiao Zhuo excitedly grabbed Yuwen Chengdu's shoulder and roared, "Why? That's digging your own grave! How long has it been since the people on both sides of the strait returned to their homeland? At this time, they were recruited as slender men, and the people must have thought that they had been deceived, and then the people's resentment boiled......"

"I know!" Yuwen Chengdu seemed to have found an outlet, and yelled at Xiao Zhuo: "Your Majesty originally wanted to go ashore!" But the concubines were so frightened by the thunder that they couldn't afford to be sick, and His Majesty could only choose this! ”

"These demon concubines!" Xiao Zhuoqi grabbed his head directly, but he was helpless, although the heavenly police thunder is mostly used to warn the world, but because it is the will of heaven and earth, the power of heaven and earth contained in it is by no means something that ordinary demons can resist, and it is normal for cat demons to be frightened and paralyzed, but they are at this stall, so that the people on both sides of the strait will suffer again.
