Chapter 704: Misfortune is not a one-way street
The escape of the man in black cast a shadow on Liu Xiu's mood. The pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info everything went well, only the last blow was missing, saying a thousand, saying ten thousand, or because he didn't put his mind on cultivation, which caused the man in black to escape from his hands again in addition to being hit hard.
He has always felt that he is invincible, and even feels that he has the capital to start enjoying the advantages brought by intelligence and comprehensive strength, and he no longer needs to go into battle shirtless. He suddenly understood why for thousands of years, whether it was a peaceful and prosperous era or a troubled era, no matter whether the ruling emperor was a powerful Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or a confused Wang Mang, they could not wipe out the ranger class. No matter how powerful the state apparatus is, it is people who perform state functions after all, and once ordinary people encounter these strange people whose lifelong purpose is to cultivate their lives, they often have no power to fight back.
The last time he was seriously injured by the skinny cultivator at the foot of Tang Shu Mountain, and this time he let the man in black escape under the siege of heavy soldiers, Liu Xiu recognized the power of these cultivators, and he began to set his sights on the swordsman ranger who rarely appeared in the official history, as well as the even less known cultivators.
At the same time, Liu Xiu wrote a letter to his family, urgently reporting what had just happened to Liu Yuanqi, the king of Chu, and asking him to pay attention to his safety. He knew that although Liu Yuanqi was not inconspicuous, his cultivation was not bad, and there were several Taoist priests like Zuo Ci around him, among whom he was an extraordinary skill master. However, in the face of an opponent like the man in black, it is difficult to reassure even if he is a master of technical combat.
The first month of the fifth year of Zhongping became long in Liu Xiu's anxious waiting, and every day seemed to be stretched countless times. The happy laughter of the children could not dispel the dark clouds in Liu Xiu's heart, on the contrary, he felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders. Liu Xiu was in a bad mood, and the atmosphere in the entire Chu Palace's mansion also became depressed, Liu He, Liu An and others walked lightly, only Tang Yingzi was very indifferent, she patted her chest and said, Although the old monster has amazing Taoism. But she was hit by two heart-destroying spells issued by the horns of the green ox, and she was so seriously injured that it was already a fluke not to die. The possibility of another incident in the short term is basically zero. But Liu Xiu was still not at ease, he felt that Tang Yingzi, like her mother, was also a little crazy. Some of them are heartless.
It seems that only Tang Yingzi, mother and daughter are really happy in the entire Chu Palace. Seeing the mother and daughter who looked like twin sisters scurrying around in the Chu Wangfu all day long, happy as if they were celebrating the New Year - only the two of them were really celebrating the New Year in the entire Chu Wangfu now, Liu Xiu felt that sometimes people were crazy and stupid, which was also a good thing.
While Liu Xiu was waiting uneasily, there was no news from Luoyang, but there was bad news from Chengdu: Zhang Lu was missing.
Zhang Lu is nineteen years old this year, and he has been practicing in Huming Mountain all these years, and he has the Taoist technique in the ring. (.) Zhang Lu's progress is not slow, but because of qualifications, his progress is not outstanding. Considering that as the next generation of Heavenly Masters, he must have the ability to be convincing, so Mrs. Lu has always refused to let him appear in front of the believers too early. The original plan was to wait until he was twenty years old to perform the crown. Then the palace of the king of Chu asked the Son of Heaven to officially seal it, and preach with the power of the imperial court, so as to increase his authority.
As the last year before his official accession to the throne, Zhang Lu's task this year is very tight, according to Mrs. Lu's plan. It is best for him to break through the Lion's Roar realm this year, and then borrow the green ox horn from Liu Xiu, and he will have no problem facing ordinary believers. In order to seize the time, just after the fifteenth Shangyuan Festival of the first lunar month, Zhang Lu entered the Jinglu retreat practice in Huming Mountain, and every five days, Zhao Sheng, the head sacrifice wine of Huming Mountain, will enter the Lu to pay homage once to answer Zhang Lu's relevant questions.
On the twentieth day of the first month, Zhao Sheng walked into Jinglu for the first time, but found that people went to the Lulu and Zhang Lu was not in Jinglu at all. He's missing.
Zhao Sheng sent an urgent letter, hoping that Mrs. Lu could rush back to deal with this matter. From the letter he sent, it can be seen that he had no idea that Mrs. Lu herself had disappeared before Zhang Lu. Liu Xiu originally thought that Mrs. Lu had been kidnapped by the man in black or returned to Chengdu, but after receiving Zhao Chang's letter, he realized that the matter was far more serious than he thought.
Hearing that Zhang Lu was missing, several Taoist priests who stayed with Liu Xiu, including Zhang Wei and Zhang Xiu, were anxious, and they immediately asked Liu Xiu for an order, asking to rush back to Chengdu to protect the Taoist temple of Huming Mountain. Although Liu Xiu knew that it would be useless for these people to go back, he also knew that the accident at Huming Mountain might trigger a chain reaction, and he had to let the eldest princess rush back to Chengdu to sit in Chengdu to avoid the situation from expanding.
The eldest princess did not dare to slack off, and immediately boarded the warship of the Yizhou Navy Division with Yan Zhong under the protection of Zhang Wei, Zhang Xiu and others, and hurried to Chengdu. For the sake of safety, Liu Xiu kept Liu Ye by his side, and at present, he is the only one who is barely qualified to say that he can deal with the man in black.
Having just sent off the eldest princess, Liu Xiu returned to the Chu Palace's mansion under the protection of Hushi. At the door, he saw a Xiliang war horse with trembling limbs and sweating all over, and a soldier holding the reins of the horse and shaking his head regretfully.
"What's going on?" Liu Xiu gestured to Xu Yu, Xu Yu stepped forward and asked a few words, and when he came back, his face was a little bad. Liu Xiu's heart sank, leaned forward, and Xu Yu leaned into his ear and said, "Yu Changshi is back, that's his mount." ”
Liu Xiu sighed in his heart, Yu turned over with first-class light body kung fu, and his riding skills were also quite good. Because the high-quality war horses over there are very rare, he also cherishes the war horses very much. What's more, he still has the seal of the Hussar General's Mansion on his body, he can call official horses at various post stations, and change a horse every thirty miles, how can he tire the war horse like this? There is only one possibility, the news that Yu Tuo wants to tell him is very urgent, and he will not hesitate to do so.
"Enter the house!" Liu Xiu gently patted the mud barrier next to the car, supported his forehead with his hand, and pressed his fingers against his temples. The headache that had not occurred for a long time made his head feel a dull pain, which made the corners of his eyes twitch with him.
"General!" Yu Pan was drinking tea in the hall, and when he saw Liu Xiu walking in, he took two steps to meet him. Liu Xiu waved his hand: "Zhong Xiang, don't worry, let's talk about anything when you enter the room." ”
Yu Fu nodded, stretched out his hand to help Liu Xiu into the room, and closed the door with his hand. Before Liu Xiu could sit down, Yu Xuan said, "General, something big has happened." ”
"What's wrong?" Liu Xiu forced himself to be calm, but his voice trembled unnaturally.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu...... Something happened, he fell off a cliff and fell to his death. ”
Liu Xiu's brows were tightly locked, his heart was beating like a drum, his ears were buzzing, the Venus in front of him was surging, the sky was spinning, everything in front of him became blurred, even the sound of Yu Fu became erratic, it seemed to be roaring in his ears for a while, and it seemed to be ethereal in the sky for a while.
"General, General." Yu Pan was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and called out loudly. After a long while, Liu Xiu calmed down and barely sat down, with cold sweat on his face. He said in a dumb voice: "Zhong Xiang, you tell me the whole thing, and you are not allowed to omit it at all." ”
"Whoa." Yu Xuan saw that Liu Xiu's face was pale, but his speech was still organized, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He sat opposite Liu Xiu, poured Liu Xiu a cup of hot tea first, handed it to him with both hands, and then talked about what happened.
The first month of the court, as the help of the Son of Heaven to solve the economic crisis of the Chu King Liu Yuanqi for a time of infinite beauty, was respected as the head of the kings, where the Son of Heaven has a party, he will be the seat, all travel, he will drive. On the eighteenth day of the first month, the Son of Heaven wanted to climb the high mountain to pray for blessings, and the king of Chu also accompanied him. When climbing the main peak of Taimur Mountain, only Liu Yuanqi, the king of Chu, had the honor to pray with the Son of Heaven and earth.
However, the problem lies in this honor. When I went up, there were two people, and when I came down, there was only one person left: Xiao Tianzi, who was pale and full of tears, Liu Yuanqi, the king of Chu, was gone. Xiao Tianzi was so frightened that he couldn't cry, and it took a long time to make it clear that Liu Yuanqi accidentally fell off the cliff.
Hearing the news, Yu Tuo, who was accompanying him, was half frightened to death. The reason why he dared to let Liu Yuanqi and Xiao Tianzi go up together was because he knew that Liu Yuanqi was deeply hidden, although he didn't dare to say that he was proud of the world, but Xiao Tianzi's two blows were definitely not his opponents, as long as Liu Yuanqi was not careless, it was not so easy for Xiao Tianzi to plot against him, not to mention that the two of them went up, if something happened to Liu Yuanqi, Xiao Tianzi couldn't clear himself, no matter from which point of view, Liu Yuanqi would not have an accident.
But Liu Yuanqi had an accident, and he fell ashore. As for whether it was really careless or something else, no one can say. Yu Fu didn't dare to slack off at that time, and went up to the cliff to check it in person. At the top of the cliff, he saw the place where Xiao Tianzi said that he had lost his footing, and relied on his light body to be skillful, and tied it with a rope to the bottom to check. At the bottom of the cliff, he did see traces of someone rolling down, as well as bloodstains, but he didn't find Liu Yuanqi's body, all traces disappeared in a rapid, judging from all the clues left at the scene, Liu Yuanqi should have fallen into the water and died, and his body was washed downstream by the water.
The water downstream is fast, there are several waterfalls of various sizes, and there are countless deep pools. Under the double reward of Xiao Tianzi and Yu Tuo, the accompanying warriors and nearby hunters set out together, after three days of searching, they finally saw a corpse by a small river more than five miles away, although the corpse was incomplete, especially the face was gnawed by the beasts in the mountains to blur the flesh and blood, but from the clothing of the corpse, it can be judged that this is Liu Yuanqi, the king of Chu.
After confirming Liu Yuanqi's death, Yu Fu did not dare to slack off, on the one hand, he sent someone back to Luoyang Chu Wangfu to deliver the letter, and on the other hand, he personally rushed to Jiangling to report the news.
"Are you sure it's my father's body?" Liu Yuanqi's eyes turned red.
"Hmm." Yu Fu nodded vigorously: "Although it has not been confirmed by the princess, I have carefully asked several guards around the king, and they all believe that this is the king." ”
Liu Xiu staggered to his feet, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Sure enough, it's a good means, with a gentle push, everything is pushed away." ”
Yu rolled his brows and locked lightly: "General, you mean ......"
"Who else but him?" Liu Xiu sneered: "It is precisely because you think it is impossible, so he is the most suspicious in this matter." I don't believe that my father has walked in the dark all his life, and he has not been careful at all. It's a pity that he went through so many winds and waves, but finally capsized in the yin ditch. Yin ditch, it is really a yin ditch that hides dirt and dirt, what else in this world is dirtier and smellier than the human heart of the people who are blinded by power...... The third update is here, and the 10,000-word update asks for a monthly pass! rq
