After cleaning up the Cao family's father and son, Zhao Mingyue entrusted Li Jilong to stay in Xiangyang to temporarily clean up the mess, and they wanted to rush back to the capital as soon as possible.

Li Jilong waved his hand and said: "You guys go back quickly, and explain the matter (qíng) to the emperor first, otherwise I don't know how to explain, fortunately this incident didn't happen on the road, otherwise you would have killed me." ”

Zhao Mingyue's face was flushed, and she lowered her head and pinched Ling Kun fiercely.

Ling Kun smiled awkwardly, said goodbye to Li Jilong, and left Xiangyang with the women.

On the way, Zhao Mingyue kept frowning, uncertain. Ling Kun asked, "Mingyue, what's wrong with you, what's on your mind?" ”

Zhao Mingyue glanced at him arrogantly, ignored him, and turned his head to Shangguan Chengcheng and asked, "When did the White Lotus Sect extend its hand to the court officials, and what is this for?" ”

Shangguan Chengcheng shook his head and said: "We didn't have such a deployment before, it should be Situ Jianghua's new strategy after becoming the emperor." If a few more court officials rebelled, the Great Song Dynasty would be even more moved (dàng), which was a very vicious move. ”

"He not only wants to distract the people, but also mess up the government, which is really reprehensible." Zhao Mingyue said fiercely.

Ling Kun frowned and said: "This trick is really ruthless, the people's will is scattered and can be remedied, if the government is shaken, then the country will collapse in an instant." ”

Zhao Mingyue nodded, and said with a worried face: "Then what should I do?" The White Lotus Sect must not only have attacked Cao Jiangning, but there must still be many local officials who are trying to rebel now. ”

Ling Kun was also at a loss.

Shangguan Chengcheng urged everyone to go faster, otherwise he was afraid that Situ Jianghua would catch up with him when he got the news.

Ling Kun said disapprenously: "How can it be so easy, Situ Jianghua is not in Xiangyang, besides, I am now the Pangu Eight Swords at will, are you still afraid of him?" ”

Shangguan Chengcheng glanced at him and said: "Don't be stinky and beautiful, you and him have also practiced Ziling Divine Skill, you are level seven and he is level ten, the difference is too far, your sword qi can't hurt him at all." ”

Ling Kun sighed in disappointment and said, "Okay, then let's run quickly." ”

There was nothing to do along the way, and the four of them returned to Kaifeng the next morning.

Ling Kun had no place to live, so he rented a small courtyard in an inn near the palace.

Finally returned to the capital, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Mingyue was also interested in talking to Ling Kun.

She clasped her arms in her hands, stared at Ling Kun with a cold face, and said, "Don't you want to solve all the problems, go and explain you to the emperor first."

Let's rob the family. ”

"Ugh." Ling Kun said embarrassedly: "Mingyue, I'm afraid you have to go out first in this matter, otherwise I won't be able to see the emperor as a common person." ”

"No, I don't care, I don't have the face to see the emperor, he is still waiting for Dali to send troops, how can I explain when I go back like this?" Zhao Mingyue covered her ears and shouted.

"It's okay Mingyue, now that the wood is in the boat, it's useless for the emperor to blame ......."

"Who's got to do with you?" Zhao Mingyue was ashamed and angry, stood up and beat Ling Kun fiercely: "You make it clear, who is already in the boat with you?" ”

Ling Kun raised his hand and hurriedly apologized: "Oh, it's wrong, it's wrong, it should be raw rice to make mature rice." ”

Shangguan Chengcheng burst out laughing when he heard it, covered his face and turned his head, and his shoulders couldn't help shaking.

Zhao Mingyue was even more ashamed, and shouted in a collapsed voice: "Who made a mature meal with your raw rice?" What nonsense are you talking about? Ling Kun, I won't pay attention to you anymore, hum. As he spoke, he stomped his feet and ran out.

The sword hurriedly followed and ran out to persuade him.

"Princess, princess, don't be angry, he's ......." The sword stopped after saying half a sentence, and the princess (jiāo) Yan (yù) was half angry on her face, and she obviously had a bright smile.

It turned out that she was afraid of laughing on the spot so she deliberately ran away.

In the house, Shangguan Chengcheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't chase it soon, people are angry." ”

Ling Kun stretched out his hand and grabbed Shangguan Chengcheng's two hands and said, "Don't chase, she's almost at the palace now, let's cook at home." ”

"Cooking? What to cook? Shangguan Chengcheng wondered.

"Cook the raw rice."

"Nasty." Shangguan broke free of his hand, pounded his (xiōng) and scolded, "Why are you so annoying? ”

Ling Kun smiled and said, "Where do I hate it?" ”

Shangguan Chengcheng glanced at him and said angrily: "The most annoying thing is that broken mouth." ”

"Really? If you find it annoying, you can plug it. ”

"Plug it up, plug it." Shangguan Chengcheng tilted his head and hugged Ling Kun's neck and kissed him on the lips.

Zhao Heng sat in the upper study, waiting for the good news of Dali's troops every day. However, before the good news came, he saw Zhao Mingyue standing in front of him.

He took a big jump, hurriedly stood up and exclaimed, "Mingyue, why are you back?" Didn't you go to Dali to get married? ”

Zhao Mingyue's face was red, and she lowered her head and said, "Be, be don't be."

Someone snatched it back? ”

"Snatched back? Who robbed it? Zhao Heng was stunned and asked.

"It's Ling Kun." Zhao Mingyue's head hung lower.

"Nonsense, isn't this a big deal that has ruined the imperial court? I should have listened to Kou Qing and killed him in the first place. Zhao Heng was furious, and then asked, "What about the uncle, was he killed by that bastard?" ”

"No, he moved his hand in the Dali Palace."

"What? Dali Palace? Isn't there a (jìn) army in the Dali Imperial Palace? Zhao Heng asked in surprise, then frowned, as if he understood something, stared at Zhao Mingyue and asked, "Mingyue, you volunteered to go with him, right?" ”

Zhao Mingyue still bowed her head, but did not deny it.

Zhao Heng slapped the table and said: "Mingyue, this is your mistake, you married to Dali and you didn't go to it, you did it, I even offended Dali, how is it good to call me now?" ”

Zhao Mingyue finally raised her head, gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Huang, please reactivate Ling Kun, he will help you solve these problems." ”

"Re-enable Ling Kun?" Zhao Heng exclaimed: "How is this possible? ”

"Why not?" Zhao Mingyue asked.

"Do you know, Situ Jianghua has already been proclaimed emperor in Sichuan, changed his country name to Daning, that is Ling Kun's fellow senior brother, have you forgotten?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Brother Huang, Situ Jianghua is indeed Ling Kun's senior brother, but Situ Jianghua killed Ling Kun's parents and master, and there is a great enmity between them." Zhao Mingyue explained.

"Is there such a thing? Why didn't you say it earlier? Zhao Heng said angrily.

"You didn't ask that much detail, did you?" Zhao Mingyue lowered her head and muttered.

"I ......." Zhao Heng almost spurted blood in anger, this was simply child's play. He turned around the ground twice and asked, "Even if he has a grudge against Situ Jianghua, what is the matter with his close relationship with the princess of Liao?" ”

"It's true." Zhao Mingyue replied: "But I have participated in this whole process, Xiao Ran is not only close to him, but also close to me, Feihu said, I negotiated with Xiao Ran." By the way, when the queen mother coup d'état, Xiao Ran's guards kidnapped his uncle. ”

"Oops, that's nonsense." Zhao Heng trembled with anger: "Mingyue, what you did is too inauthentic, you are trying to kill me, where is Ling Kun now?" ”

"It's at the inn outside the palace."

"Call me to see me, what are you waiting for?" Zhao Heng roared angrily, this was the first time he was angry at Zhao Mingyue.
