The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain were wild, as if they wanted to accumulate the continuous rain of these days and make it happen again tonight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Princess Baotong lay on the couch and quietly watched the sea of algae. The sea of algae is very gorgeous, and the five phoenixes are coiled, symbolizing her glory and wealth at the moment.

Originally, it was just a county lord who didn't care too much, if nothing changed, he grew up slowly, and then, his father chose a family with the right family to marry, although he was just a county lord, but after all, his surname was Song, and he was also quite liked by the old lady, and his future husband must also be the son of a wealthy family.

But I never thought that with the collapse of Confucianism and Taoism, the fall of Haojing, my father became the emperor, my brother became the crown prince, and I was suddenly promoted to a princess.

However, unlike her father, who was originally full of pride, but now he has become silent, and her brother, who has always been complacent, she has a vague uneasiness from the beginning. She doesn't like everything now, whether it is status or fame and fortune, it seems that she is driven by a sudden wind, and she is afraid that she and the people around her will fall to pieces on this false cloud at any time.

Because of the love of the old queen mother, when she was young, most of her lives in the palace in Haojing, and her father and brother who live in Jiangnan and only enter Beijing around the Spring Festival every year, there are not too many opportunities to actually meet, and the relationship is not very good. Instead, with Red Butterfly and Little Heron, they became an inseparable trio.

Maybe it's because they're older than Red Butterfly and Little Heron...... Although it's not too big, compared to the red butterfly, it was born a month earlier, but after all, it's still older, in the trio, although the disputes that occurred were ultimately based on the opinions of the red butterfly, but now that they're older, they always feel that they should take on more responsibility.

When Cha cut crossed the river to the south, as soon as she got the news, she hurriedly sent the palace maid to inform the red butterfly, but the red butterfly still failed to keep up after all, at that time, she couldn't sleep well every day, for fear that something would happen to the red butterfly.

Fortunately, despite many twists and turns, Red Butterfly was able to meet her and Xiaolu in Jianzhou.

However, now, as Xiaolu is recognized as a daughter by her father and mother, and has become her "own sister", although she doesn't know much about political affairs, she also realizes that this is not a good thing for Xiaolu, Xiaolu is caught in a certain vortex, she feels that she has another responsibility, no matter what, she wants to protect the red butterfly and Xiaolu...... For them, she always has a sense of responsibility as an older sister.

But now, Xiaolu is about to be married to Lu Yuhao's son named Lu Yi.

There are many very bad rumors about Lu Yuhao's son, and those rumors are obviously true, such as after robbing the people's daughter, let the government find a reason to put the woman's family in prison, and a few days later, the woman's body was found by the river, covered with scars, almost not intact, for example, after he received money, he directly took out from the prison those profiteers who resold materials to the barbarian army from the prison, and other incredible and dumbfounded things.

Growing up in the Haojing Palace, she was shocked when she heard such a thing at first, but what shocked her even more was that she later found that this seemed to be something that everyone knew, even her father and mother...... I'm afraid it's all clear.

If you know such a thing, why don't you care? They are emperors and empresses, as well as those big officials in the court, almost every day, they are holding up sage books, picking bones in eggs, looking for opportunities to criticize others, such a thing, why don't they care? Why does everyone treat this kind of thing that everyone knows as if it never happened?

She found that she didn't understand at all.

The only thing she knew was that she couldn't ...... Let Xiaolu marry someone like that.

But she couldn't do anything.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and above the sea of algae, the eaves crackled and crackled, and the overwhelming showers seemed to break through the paper-thin eaves at any moment, and then drown her.

That's all she ...... One night saw the dawn.

Early the next morning, she took Fengjiao out of the palace and came to the princess's mansion where Red Butterfly and Huangfu Lu lived.

The princess's mansion where Red Butterfly and her mother originally lived had been destroyed by the raiders during the Son of Heaven's "southern tour", and the new princess's mansion was located on the east side of the palace, close to the palace wall. However, as the palace continues to expand, it is probably a matter of time before it is moved again. And the reason why she can't live in the palace is mainly because of the identity of Red Butterfly's mother, Concubine Zhen, after all, she was the concubine of the first emperor Shenzong, and she couldn't live in the harem of the new emperor.

And Huangfu Lu, although she is also a princess at this moment, but Lin'an City, there is already the property of the Huangfu family, her grandfather Zhao Guogong, after fleeing from Lin'an, has disappeared, but now it has not been recovered, and her parents are far away in Linghai. Originally, she was going to move into the palace as a princess and be accompanied by Baotong, but who knew that Baotong drove her out of the palace first and let her live on the side of the red butterfly.

This also made Miss Lu feel a little aggrieved, although she didn't care whether she was with Baotong or with Red Butterfly, but Baotong's approach was like driving her away. But this should be just a delusion, right? Because, although he drove her over, Bao Tong himself ran to this end every day, and many times, he also lived in the princess's mansion of Red Butterfly, and the three big girls, who had gradually become called girls, slept together as if they were children.

When I entered the princess's mansion, the first thing I saw was Concubine Zhen. In this regard, Baotong did not have any surprises.

"Aunt Zhen, is Red Butterfly practicing swords in the back garden again?" She asked, like Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen smiled slightly: "Who said it wasn't?" These days, there has been no break. The little heron hasn't gotten up yet. ”

Although at that time, the three girls said that they would practice martial arts together, but in the end, it was only Red Butterfly who really worked hard to do it and made rapid progress. Whether it is Baotong or Huangfulin, they have only practiced some foundations, although it cannot be said that they are completely ineffective, but they really can't do it. And after seeing Red Butterfly's current ability, the two of them are somewhat lacking in confidence.

"Baotong," Concubine Zhen hesitated, "Xiaolu's business...... What did your queen mother say? ”

Baotong shook his head, not knowing what to say. Although she asked her mother for help, she also had countless thoughts about what it did.

Concubine Zhen didn't have much to do about it, and she didn't know how to deal with such a thing than Baotong. The daughter of a wealthy family was originally elected to the palace when she was more than ten years old, and she had no experience in dealing with things at all.

After thinking about it, she whispered, "Baotong, do you know...... I heard that Ningjiang Ning Gongzi will come to Lin'an soon? ”

……

***

Ningjiang is coming to Lin'an...... Such a news, which should not be known to many people, is quietly spreading at the bottom of the ground, and at this moment, the court has probably not realized the serious problems caused by the rapid spread of this news.

In the early dynasty, the Son of Heaven opened up his speech, and hundreds of officials stood up one after another, criticizing something loudly, and the crowd was passionate. Some people held up the notebook and cursed loudly, some people foamed at the mouth, Lu Yuhao kept waving his hand to calm everyone down, and then he was awe-inspiring, turned around and said something, and the ministers echoed one after another.

On the top of His Majesty's steps, the Son of Heaven occasionally sighed, occasionally showing disbelief, but his eyes were indifferent.

Maybe it's because it rained heavily last night, but Lin'an City at this moment looks much more refreshing, cloudless, and the weather is strangely good.

Because of the continuous autumn rains, the water surface has risen a lot of Luopei Lake, and there is a residence by the lake, which was originally where the Ningjiang League leader Yu Zhou Xue lived.

It was here that Ning Caizi Xie Yuan was in high school and started his first step in connecting the three yuans. Today, this mansion has been converted by its owner into a place of worship for literati and artists, and from time to time, people will come to visit.

Although Luopei Lake is one of the famous attractions in Tongzhou, but here, the most famous is the lotus, and now it has passed the season of lotus appreciation.

Despite this, there are still many boats coming and going on the lake.

In the distance, you can still see the amazing scenery left by the meteorite a few years ago, at that time, it undoubtedly caused panic in the city, but now, no one has mentioned it much. In the past few years, there have been so many things that have happened that a natural disaster is insignificant in comparison, and people are always reluctant to think about those not very good memories.

Nearly half of the Kongshan Mountain has been destroyed, and the intact side can still see the fiery red.

The maple leaves of Kongshan Mountain are the most famous wonder in this area. And the scene of half of the bright red and half of the mutilated is also to a certain extent, forming a rare spectacle.

With the establishment of Tongzhou as a new capital, the outer city is also constantly expanding, and there are requisitioned servants everywhere.

At the same time, there are also many heads and fast catchers of the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions, who come and go, and are nervous. Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, compared to the high-level of the court, these people, because of their position, are more aware than others of the imminent tension on the rivers and lakes at this moment, and the unusual situation in Lin'an City at this moment.

On the shore of the lake, a catcher held a Yanling knife in his hand, looking at a building boat docked at the lake, and the shouts of drinking and guessing boxing came from time to time. He whispered, "Are you sure that guy really got here?" ”

"There can be no mistake." Beside him, a catcher said, "'Taoshan Kou' Mo Daping...... The third person on the list of Longtu chasing and killing should be considered second now, right? The Red Devil is now considered an official army, and the Red Witch is now in front of Mo Daping, and there is only Dai Ba. ”

Another catcher said hatefully: "Anyway, this is also at the foot of the Son of Heaven, as a wanted criminal by the imperial court, it is too unreasonable for us to appear so openly." Head, then Mo Daping didn't deal with you before, do you want to transfer some people over and take him down? ”

The catcher frowned tightly, and after a while, he said: "Speaking of which, in the past few days, there have been more and more people in the rivers and lakes who have appeared in Lin'an, what the hell are these people doing." ”

Everyone next to them looked at each other, and they all hesitated. The catcher looked at them suspiciously, "Have you heard anything?" ”

One of them said: "Head, don't you know that the leader of the Ningjiang Ning Alliance of the Southeast Martial Arts League is about to come to Lin'an." ”

"So what?"

"There's another piece of news......" the man said in a low voice.

The head catcher's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "What are you talking about, how dare you say such nonsense?" ”

The catcher hurriedly said, "Boss, I didn't say it...... Everybody's spreading the ......"

The whole face of the catcher turned white at once.

At the same time, in the corner of the ship, there were four people, one of whom was a young woman, and looked at the group of people who were drinking at the table in the distance: "That is Mo Daping, the 'Taoshan Kou'?" ”

These four people are the "Four Heroes of Huangshan" - Fu Dingbo, Yu Zhicheng, Yuan Chengjiang, and Xu Jiaolong.

Looking at a strong man covered in flesh among the group, Xu Jiaolong asked in a low voice.

Yu Zhicheng also lowered his voice: "There will be no mistake, he is now the second person on the Longtu chase list, second only to 'Badao' Dai Ba." ”

Xu Jiaolong asked puzzledly: "The strength of the red lady should not be as good as Dai Daxia, why is she ranked first?" ”

Yu Zhicheng said with a smile: "This dragon map chase list is not ranked by force. For the imperial court, in the top ten miles of the Longtu chase list, the harm of the red lady alone is greater than that of the next nine combined. That is, she has now become an official soldier, and she has been removed from the Longtu chase list of the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions. The main reason why Dai Daxia is on the list is that he has killed several corrupt officials before, although Mo Daping's temper has been much more restrained recently, but in any case, he is also a person on the underworld. The Red Witch is directly pulling the flag and rebelling, can the nature be the same? ”

This building boat is used as a restaurant, and on the wall, there are many poems left by people and artists. However, at this moment, the owner of the restaurant was wiping a cold sweat while urging the ladies on the boat who were dressed up in fancy clothes to serve wine and food. In the past, most of the people who came to Luopei Lake to enjoy the lake and drink were scholars, but in the past few days, more and more people have begun to appear.

At this moment, although the business is booming, but looking at the martial arts people with weapons on the table, noisy and shouting, he is more of a numb scalp, these people in the rivers and lakes are simply immeasurable, sometimes they drink to the head, one by one is as good as brothers with the same father and mother, sometimes it explodes at a point, and suddenly it starts to fight, which is simply unreasonable.

At the gate on the other side, a few people stepped in, and the leader held the Yanling knife in his hand, and coldly glanced at Mo Daping, the "Taoshan Kou" in the center of the hall, and took the lead towards the counter. The shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with these few people here, these Jianghu people shouldn't dare to make trouble casually, right? hurriedly greeted him: "Yang Zhutou, long time no see, long time no see." ”

The head catcher nodded, said a few words to the shopkeeper, and walked to the empty seat in the distance under the guidance of the shopkeeper. At this time, in the crowd, someone saw the other two people walking in at the door, got up and said, "Lao Pu, did you find out anything?" ”

The one who was called Lao Pu looked like he was less than thirty years old. He walked to the table that called him, and said as he walked: "I heard that in the court that just ended, under the leadership of Lu Xiang, hundreds of officials have played the book one after another, revealing the sins of Ning Hanlin, it sounds, rumors...... I'm afraid it's true. ”

The entire hall fell silent in an instant.

This was followed by a sneer: "Dog! Emperor! Emperor! ”
