Zhu Qiming motioned for Tang Ji to lead the crowd to stay in the backyard, and he, Ouyang Tong and Liang Gang hurried to the front house.

In the open space in front of the house, six guards surrounded a man in a strong suit.

The man had no blades in his hands, and in the face of the six guards who were stubbornly cloaked, his body moved between the shadows of the swords with great speed, and from time to time he blocked the arms of the guards wielding their swords, neither fearing nor hurting anyone.

Seeing Zhu Qiming coming to the scene, the man suddenly left the guards and flew towards Zhu Qiming.

The man moved extremely fast, and before the guards could react, he had already flashed in front of Zhu Qiming.

Zhu Qiming didn't have time to think about it, his body swayed, and when he shook to the side of the person, he wanted to perform the Jiuhua boxing technique and fight in close quarters.

The man made a false move, seeing that Zhu Qiming's body was very fast, he immediately jumped into the crowd, and when he landed, he had jumped out of the crowd of people who were encircling, and then ran all the way to the east, and in a blink of an eye, the figure of the man became a black spot on the snow, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

A group of people came to their senses, surrounded Zhu Qiming, and were relieved to see that he was safe and sound.

A guard reported to Zhu Qiming what had happened. It turned out that the man was lying outside to peep at the movement in the house, and was discovered by the guards on duty at night, so he handed over his hands.

After tossing for more than an hour, Zhu Qiming's sleepiness disappeared, he entered the house, and sat down with Ouyang Tong and Liang Gang in front of the fire.

He Yuan was still sitting there, obviously, he was frightened, and his body was still trembling slightly.

"It's not difficult to guess the intention of Rose Saihan, most likely to play tricks on His Highness," Ouyang Tong added a few pieces of charcoal to the furnace and continued: "Whether that man is an enemy or a friend, and what his intention is, I don't know. However, he ran eastward, thinking that he was not a Warat. ”

Zhu Qiming thought that the man was quite skilled, but he didn't use heavy hands, only made false moves, and stopped when he clicked, so he asked He Yuandao: "Where are you going east?" ”

He Yuan replied: "To the east is the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division. ”

Ouyang Tong and Liang Gang glanced at each other and almost fell to the ground with laughter.

Zhu Qiming's question was ambiguous, but isn't He Yuan's answer like this nonsense?

"Oh, ten miles to the east is Changsheng Fort." He Yuan came to his senses and said with a smile: "Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and there are very few scattered residents, and most of the common people gather in the castle. Changsheng Fort is the only castle within a radius of 100 miles. ”

"Where can there be a guard or a place?" Zhu Qiming asked.

He Yuan shook his head and replied, "There are no guards or troops there. There is Dingliao in the south, there are Shenyang Zhuwei in the north, Changsheng Fort has become the weakness of the waist and abdomen, here is a flat river, sparsely populated, the army is sent more and the supplies are not sufficient, and it is easy to let the thieves worry about it if it is less, so it is simply not to garrison the army, and the people in the castle form a team to protect themselves. ”

Zhu Qiming was silent, under the backdrop of the fire, the golden mask on his head shone brightly, and the two torch-like eyes pierced the halo on the mask, and projected it sharply, which lifted the spirits of Ouyang Tong and the others.

"Everlasting Castle!" After being silent for a long time, Zhu Qiming slowly spit out these three words in his mouth, and then got up and walked towards the inner room, "Commander Liang called Tang Ji to return to the barracks quickly, and the others should rest quickly." ”

······

At the same time the next day, Wang Lie came to Penglu with fifty plainclothes guards and invited Zhu Qiming to go with them to find the elixir. In the past four years, every time he stays in a place, Zhu Qiming will be dragged around to find medicine, and after four years, there are still many people who are still keen to find medicine, among which Wang Lie is the most persistent.

Because you need to find someone everywhere to find out the news of the elixir, it is more convenient to change into casual clothes. Zhu Qiming was reluctant to change into civilian clothes, wearing a mask and wearing regular clothes looked very eye-catching, but wearing a military uniform was different, the silver armor lined his figure more and more upright, and the gold mask and armor were very matched, adding a bit of mystery to his handsome figure.

Many passers-by were obsessed with Zhu Qiming's outfit, including many women. When passing through Miyun, a group of bold women in raccoon clothes ran from the head of the stream to the side of the road, and excitedly commented on him.

"The general is so angry!"

"It must be a rare handsome brother in the world!"

Can you still be so favored after being disfigured? Zhu Qiming straightened his back even more, and felt a little proud in his heart.

"General, can you take off your mask and let us see your true face?"

Zhu Qiming was immediately dumbfounded, "Drive!" Immediately rode away from these women whose curiosity was overflowing.

"It's freezing and snowy right now, and it's sparsely populated here, looking for an elixir? This king sees that you should take your medicine! ”

Zhu Qiming said this, but quickly stepped on the war horse, "However, it's good to go out for a walk." ”

"Your Highness must not go far." Ouyang Tong hurriedly went out and commanded.

"Got it."

But the sound of hooves suddenly arose, and for a moment, the sound of hooves and shouts woke up the sleeping wilderness, as if it was about to cut through the lonely distant sky.

Along the path, tracing the footprints and hoof prints left by passers-by, fifty-two horsemen galloped around aimlessly.

"It's been half an hour, and I haven't seen a single figure, it's really evil!"

I don't know how far I went, and when I heard Wang Lie complaining on the side, Zhu Qiming raised his eyes and looked straight ahead, and saw a frozen river lying in front of him.

"Phew!"

Zhu Qiming raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, "Ahead is the Langpu River, and after the Langpu River, it is the boundary of Wuliang Ha Sanwei." ”

At the right time, the sun is shining, and the boundless snowfields are covered with a layer of golden light, and the blue sky and the crystal snow fields contrast with each other, setting off the beautiful scenery in front of you to the point of moving.

"If you want to find medicine, you can find it yourself, this king doesn't want to waste any more effort!" Zhu Qiming turned over and dismounted, ran more than ten zhang away, lying on the snow like a mattress, looking at the snow trees with branches and leaves not far away, and his mood instantly returned to tranquility.

He took out two letters, one of which belonged to Princess Changde and the other to Aunt Fang, which was forwarded to him by the Miyun County Yapai.

First opened Aunt Fang's letter, and saw that the handwriting was very immature, and after reading the content, I realized that it was from Xiaoju's hand.

“······ I always want to enter Beijing to pay homage to His Royal Highness, but I am afraid that His Highness will be inconvenient, and now I hear that His Highness is going out to parade, and I miss it very much······"

Hey, the little kid can chew words! It's just that this wording is nondescript, and it's better to say something commonplace!

Zhu Qiming shook his head, and continued to read, but found that the back was full of sayings: Qing'er is about to get married; Daifuku added another fat boy, and Xiaolong's daughter-in-law gave birth to a pair of twin sons; Xiaoju studied diligently and grew greatly, and gave his three new nephews nice names, called Lu Shi, Lu Qian, and Lu Bu······

Hey, that's kind of interesting! How big is the foal? Shouldn't it be a ghostwriter to carry private goods? Also, what's the name of this? Stone, bamboo, paper, rock, scissors, paper? You're so talented!

Alas, time flies! In a blink of an eye, Aunt Fang married three daughters, and the youngest Qing'er was about to fly away. Fortunately, now that Aunt Fang's children and grandchildren are full, there will be more celebrations in the family of goodness!

Zhu Qiming's heart was relieved, he picked up Aunt Fang's family letter, and then went to open the letter from Princess Changde. Unfolded the letterhead and read it hastily, only to feel that the amount of information was too little, and it made him uncomfortable to read.

From the letter of Princess Changde, it was learned that in August last year, King Yu had appointed Wang Quan, the daughter of Wang Quan, the commander of Jinwu Zuowei, as the main concubine, and married Hang as a side room.

What about the smoked dill? Could it be that she is just a concubine? Zhu Qiming only knew the Yanluo who was sent to the palace by the Empress Dowager before her death, where did he know what Wang and Hang were? As everyone knows, it was the two ill-fated women Wang and Hang who staged a harem tragicomedy with ups and downs in the Forbidden City in the future.

Princess Changde also mentioned Lu Xiyu and Zhou Xiaodie in the letter. The latter wanted to marry, but because the queen mother's intentions were clearly there, the Zhou family did not dare to marry a daughter rashly, so Zhou Xiaodie was quickly stepping into the ranks of older leftover women; The former didn't want to get married but was urged by his family and relatives, and Lu Xiyu was in a hurry, so he threatened to become a nun and be a companion of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for the rest of his life.

Silly sister, why are you so troubled? If you don't hurry up and find a good person to marry, if you delay it any longer, those single handsome descendants will call you Auntie!

Zhu Qiming hurriedly picked up the letter, feeling no for the second daughter of the Zhou family in his heart, but Lu Xiyu's recent situation made him gloomy.

Suddenly, the sound of hooves drifted over. On the other side of the Langpu River, hundreds of horsemen and horses galloped in, and the first one was wrapped in a red cloak, which looked particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

Saihan? Zhu Qiming sat up and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

Saihan stopped hundreds of his retinue, rode across the Langpu River, and ran straight to this side.

"How dare she cross the border!" Wang Lie stretched out his hand and pointed at Saihan, looking incredulous, seeing that Zhu Qiming didn't say a word for a long time, Wang Lie shook his head helplessly, and ordered the guards to collect their weapons and avoid being on guard.

The sound of hooves approached. Saihan turned over and dismounted, led the horse closer, circled around Zhu Qiming, and finally took off an animal skin from the horse, spread it beside Zhu Qiming, and lay down on it as if no one was around.

You're extravagant! Zhu Qiming looked at Saihan angrily, and when he met her sultry eyes, he quickly turned his head, but Saihan's lingering charm was left in his mind.

"Look at your appearance, it looks like evil has invaded your body! Are you really disfigured? ”

Really disfigured! These words came to his lips, but Zhu Qiming swallowed it back, hating himself a little in his heart: What's wrong with you? Is it possible to confide the truth to a cunning Tartar?

"Really?"

I can't scare you! Zhu Qiming was secretly annoyed, so he wanted to take off the golden mask and let Sai Rare get a glimpse of the terrifying shape, but at the last moment, he still retreated. He was a little afraid that Saihan would make fun of him!

"That's it!" Saihan turned over and lay down comfortably on the animal skin, staring at Zhu Qiming with his head sideways, "I heard that the Beibei Diguo and Beibei Mingquan can cure the evil poison in your body, think about it, where is the Beibei?" Warat! It's better to go to Warat with me, and we won't take any of us with us, just you and me, all the way, and when summer falls on the grassland, in a place full of flowers, maybe you will find the legendary elixir. ”

"I'm not going!" Zhu Qiming only had to shout out the evil words of people and ghosts.

"That's the only place you can find the elixir, think about it."

Just think about it! Under the clear blue sky, the grassland is full of flowers and green grass, hey, don't say it, it's quite poetic······

"Don't go!" When he was about to say something, Zhu Qiming changed his tone.

Suddenly, a warm breath was blowing, and then the mask moved, he was startled, and he cleverly rolled sideways on the ground, got up and caught a glimpse of Saihan's outstretched hands and malicious eyes, and immediately understood that Saihan wanted to uncover him.

"Giggle······

In a flash, Saihan and the hide were back on the horse. The sound of hooves went west, and the laughter of silver bells spread all the way.

"Someday you'll be exposed!"
