Zheng Miao bowed his head and said: "Then we must also act quickly, the sooner we leave Lingnan Road, the better!" ”

Qiu Yizhi agreed, summoned Zhao Chengxiao, and was just about to order the formation to be rectified according to the original path when he came, and head north, but he heard a voice behind him: "Third Highness, Your Highness Yi, please stay!" ”

Qiu Yizhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and hurriedly followed the prestige, but saw a tall and beautifully dressed man on a hill cliff behind him, surrounded by Lingnan Provincial sergeants, shouting loudly to him.

looked fixedly, but saw that the person who spoke was none other than Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan who was sick and alive yesterday, but his current expression was very heroic, and the king of Lingnan, who was so sick that he was only half sick the same day, seemed to be like two people.

But I heard the king of Lingnan continue: "Two, the old man has not yet fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, why don't you say goodbye? ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to the voice of the Lingnan King, full of energy, separating the ten-zhang high mountain peak and the distance of twenty or thirty steps, which still made Qiu Yizhi hear it clearly, the Lingnan King's previous serious illness was obviously pretended.

Qiu Yizhi knew that he had fallen into the scheme, and he was even more unwilling to suffer, hearing the king of Lingnan say this, he was about to refute two sentences, but he was robbed by the third brother Zheng Miao beside him, and heard him say: "Uncle, you colluded with the Tianzun cult and intended to rebel against the imperial court, we left quickly, but for the sake of the uncle, and did not let the small people around the uncle have a bad heart." Although I am a junior, I also want to ask my uncle to rein in the precipice, so I will hand over the thief Wen Honghui to the imperial court, and then everything will be easy to talk about. ”

Zheng Gui heard it and laughed loudly: "What a sharp mouth, the old man is not wrong, he can escape from my net, and he really has some skills." To tell you the truth, if my imperial brother is a mediocre lord behind him, the old man may be able to wait. My imperial brother is a clear-eyed person, with the talent of a virtuous nephew, there is a chance that you will sit on the throne in the future, and my descendants will definitely not be your opponents at that time. ”

Zheng Miao felt a sour feeling when he heard this-it was not his third highness under the emperor's knees who commanded the army to escape from danger, but the righteous son of Qiu Yizhi, who was under the moth-, but said in his mouth: "As long as the uncle leaves Lingnan Road, the little nephew is willing to guarantee his net worth, and the uncle and several brothers will definitely be able to be rich and noble." Uncle Wang doesn't believe it, and look at Uncle Heluo, isn't it also a beautiful thing in the world to enjoy glory and wealth like him? ”

Zheng Gui laughed a few more times: "The old man is the king of Lingnan when he is in Lingnan Road; The old man is the king of Lingnan, so you have to protect my wealth; If the old man leaves Lingnan Road, he is not the king of Lingnan...... Hum! The old man also helped the court when he was young, and I know better than you what the reputation of the court is! ”

These few words made Zheng Miao unable to refute - whether the imperial court is to the grass people, the gentry, the eunuchs, or even the princes and princes, small favors and small favors will probably not be stingy, but when it comes to ruling in their own interests, they are cold and ruthless, and their words never count - although he sincerely agreed here, when the emperor turned his face, his previous promise was like waste paper.

Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, stood on top of the hill, looking down on Zheng Miao from a distance, but as if he was close enough to see through his heart, he laughed twice: "The Third Highness has sharp teeth, it seems that there is nothing to say, right?" What the old man said was the truth, and there was no way to refute it. Okay, if you can escape here from the stone city today, the old man has suffered a loss and fallen behind, so let's go! In the future, when you and my uncle and nephew meet again, it will be on the battlefield and the war will be clashed, and I hope that I can look at today's fate, raise your noble hand and show mercy to your subordinates......"

Qiu Yizhi saw that Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, was such a demeanor and belly, and he must be an invincible opponent in the future, if he couldn't be killed as soon as possible, maybe he would die at his hands another day.

So Qiu Yizhi secretly called Yu Chi Jiming, and asked in a low voice: "Ji Ming, can your secret weapon hit the Lingnan King?" ”

Yu Chi Ji clearly estimated the distance and replied: "The distance is too far, and it is from the bottom to the top, even if you can, you can't kill him." She paused, "The crossbow machine should be fine, but I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot accurately." ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, moved to Meng Hong's side again, and ordered: "Meng Hong, you aim at the prince of Lingnan, if you shoot him to death with an arrow, you will be the hero of the Han Dynasty, and you will be properly crowned a four- or five-grade official." Remember the point, the action should be small, if you can't hit the Lingnan King with an arrow, you will have no chance! ”

Meng Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this, he quietly opened the crossbow machine, chose a brand-new crossbow arrow, dodged behind a huge shield, slowly raised the crossbow in his hand, carefully aimed at it, took a deep breath and held it hard, gently pulled the trigger, and with the crossbow string vibrating, the carefully selected crossbow arrow was launched towards the Lingnan Wang's face gate.

Seeing that Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan who has been in the limelight all his life, is about to be killed by this inconspicuous crossbow arrow.

But seeing the black shadow flashing in front of him, the extremely sharp crossbow disappeared out of thin air, not only Qiu Yizhi and the others standing at the foot of the mountain, but even the king of Lingnan himself was so frightened that he took half a step back and asked in surprise: "What's the matter?" ”

But I saw that the black shadow stretched out the palm of his right hand, spread it flat in front of the king of Lingnan, and said, "Lord Wang, please look, this thing almost killed you!" ”

Zheng Gui saw that the tip of the arrow was shining coldly, and he was immediately a little afraid, and immediately snatched the crossbow arrow from the man's hand, broke it in two, threw it down from the top of the mountain, and said: "Good boy, who dares to hurt people with a secret arrow, stand up for the old man!" ”

Qiu Yizhi stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, it's my fault that the secret arrow hurts people. But the prince colluded with the leader of the cult, can it be regarded as the work of the descendants of the Han Dynasty? After that, Qiu Yizhi stretched out his hand and pointed at the black shadow who had just saved the life of the King of Lingnan and said, "This senior of the Wei Chi family, it's time to show up!" ”

The black shadow shook for a moment, then walked up half a step, took off the black hat on his head, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of His Royal Highness, last year the old woman was almost forced by you to feed the fish under the Yangtze River, but I didn't expect to still think about the old woman!" ”

This old woman in black is a senior of the Wei Chi family, and her martial arts are even better than Yu Chi Jiming, she speaks softly, but her words are clear, separated by dozens of steps, and still enter Qiu Yizhi's ears word for word.

Qiu Yizhi listened, and said from afar: "The old-timer is a famous master of the Wei Chi family, so why bother to commit himself to the cult leader Wen Honghui?" The people of the same generation of the Wei Chi family are almost dead, and the old aunt and grandmother are left alone, what kind of grievances can't be put down? It's better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, return to his hometown, and spend his old age in peace, it's better than wandering the rivers and lakes like this, right? ”

The old woman in black's expression seemed to move, and replied: "His Royal Highness Yi's kindness, the old woman understands it." It's a pity that there is wind in my blood, and I am used to it. What's more, the old woman killed too many people back then, and she didn't regard herself as a member of the Wei Chi family for a long time, and she couldn't talk about returning to her hometown......"

Qiu Yizhi heard her words resolutely, but there was a bit of desolation and sadness in her tone, and she suddenly felt that she might not be able to persuade her to change her mind, and she was about to open her mouth when she thought about it, but she saw a person flashing behind the old woman in black, stretched out her hand and pointed to the bottom of the mountain, and scolded: "Qiu Yizhi, you don't have clever words here, you have this kung fu, why don't you hurry back and take care of the aftermath, and then come over to die!" ”

Qiu Yizhi looked fixedly, and the person who spoke was indeed Tianzun Sect Master Wen Honghui.

So he also scolded back: "Wen Honghui, it's just that you do a lot of evil and kill yourself, why do you always instigate others to make rebellion?" You claim to be the leader of the Heavenly Venerable Sect, but you don't believe in the doctrine, but you want to deceive others, you are really a bad girl! ”

Qiu Yi's words changed, and he actually said to Zheng Gui again: "Lord Lingnan, whether you raise an army, rebel, be upright, or conspire, if we can't fight you, it is because of the limitations of our life skills and lack of talent, and it is natural that we will die without regrets." However, if you collude with this cult to cause chaos and disobedience, even if you succeed, how can you make the hundreds of millions of people, the world's scholars, and the courtiers convinced? ”

Wen Honghui immediately said: "You know a fart!" Successes, princes, losers, and thieves, how can there be so many submissions and disobedience? It has been nearly three hundred years since the Great Han Dynasty, and I don't know that Emperor Taizu was also attached to our Holy Sect back then......"

"Presumptuous!" When Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, heard Wen Honghui mention Emperor Taizu, he immediately reprimanded angrily, "How can you talk nonsense about Taizu's holy secrets? The old man just kept you by his side as a counselor, and he couldn't fight the royal brother without you? In the future, if you talk nonsense, be careful that the old man cuts out your tongue. ”

Wen Honghui trembled when he heard this, and swallowed back half of the words, quickly retracted half a step, and pushed behind the old aunt and grandmother of the Wei Chi family.

Zheng Gui let out a half-breath of "hum", and said to Qiu Yizhi and the others under the mountain: "The two nephews under the mountain have listened, from now on you and I will be opponents." There are no eyes on the battlefield, but Nian Zaier and others are all outstanding people in my Zheng family's younger generation, and one day they fall into the hands of the old man, and the old man may spare your life. Alright, let's go! ”

Lingnan King Zheng Gui was obviously his opponent, but after these few words, Qiu Yizhi actually felt a little admiration from the bottom of his heart, and people like him were speechless for a while, and couldn't think of any answers.

But I heard Zheng Miao say loudly: "Uncle, my nephew advises you again, if today's technique has been decided, extraordinary people can change their ways, don't do this useless act again." If you restrain yourself from the precipice and offer a chapter of invitation to sin, with the benevolence of my father, I think I will give my uncle a rich old age. ”

But I heard Zheng Gui laugh loudly: "Hahaha! The old man's wealth does not need to be gifted by others, you go back and tell Zheng Rong that he deserves the emperor, and I deserve it! ”

At this point, Qiu Yizhi felt that everything that should be said had been said, so he gently pulled Zheng Miao's sleeve: "Third brother, it's useless to talk more, the imperial court will have to fight with the soldiers of the Lingnan Palace, I should go back quickly, and report all the instructions of Lingnan Road to the emperor to know." ”

Zheng Miao sighed and said: "This errand is considered to be a mess, and I actually forced the king of Lingnan to rebel, I don't know how to explain to my father when I go back." ”

Qiu Yizhi was a little deflated when he heard Zheng Miao's tone, and hurriedly relieved: "The King of Lingnan has always been anti-sensitive, but sooner or later. This pus-filled bag will be squeezed one day. Although it is more difficult for the imperial court now, it is quite safe to subdue a corner of Lingnan with the power of the overall situation, as long as there are no major mistakes. ”

Zheng Miao sighed again: "It's still according to the plan of the virtuous brother, let's leave Lingnan Road quickly, the more time we have to prepare, the more chance we will win." ”

So Qiu Yizhi greeted Zhao Chengxiao and asked him to lead his sergeants to go north in the direction of Jiangnan Province along the original road when he came.

When they went deep into Lingnan Road a few days ago, Zheng Miao and Qiu Yizhi intended to explore the reality of Lingnan Road, so they walked very slowly, and walked back and forth for nearly half a month before they arrived at the basin of the stronghold that King Lingnan had painstakingly built.
