"Ling Gongzi and Miss Zhong don't have to be polite, the child is taken care of by the two of them outside, I thank the two of you here." Dao Baifeng heard that the two were his son's life-saving benefactors, and he didn't dare to be too lazy, so he also returned the salute.

"Don't dare, don't dare, aunt, my brother Duan has like-minded interests and become close friends, you are not only Brother Duan's mother, but also my elder, how can the little nephew dare to accept the gift of aunt?" Ling Muyun hurriedly dodged and gave way, and Zhong Ling also gave way to the gift of Dao Baifeng.

Dao Bai Fenggui is the princess, and others give her gifts on weekdays, how can she give gifts to others? This time, it was also considered that the two had saved their son's life, so they returned the courtesy, and at this time, they were quite happy to see that the two knew the etiquette and understood the etiquette.

At this time, Zhu Danchen walked over, knelt down, and bowed to Dao Baifeng: "My subordinates knock on the princess." ”

Dao Baifeng's face changed, and he said coldly: "Brother Zhu, now I am no longer a princess, just a pure cultivator. I welcome you to come and see me, but if you come to me to pay some respects, then you should leave as soon as possible, so as not to disturb my peace. ”

Zhu Danchen said: "I said the wrong thing in the next place, and I hope that the jade is scattered and people are not strange." Sanren, this time the four evildoers came to Dali, before we had encountered the two evils, the three evils, and the four evils, all relying on the strength of the people to reluctantly repel them, but I don't know if they will come later, spare the Sanren's Qingxiu, and ask the Sanren to go back to the palace for a while, and wait for the four wicked people to talk about it after taking care of the four wicked people. ”

Yuxusan's face changed slightly, and he said sadly: "What am I still doing in the palace?" The four wicked men are here. I can't fight it, just die. ”

Zhu Danchen didn't dare to say any more, and glanced at Duan Yulian, asking him to ask for words. Duan Yu understood, grabbed Dao Baifeng's arm and said: "Mother, these four wicked people are really vicious, let's avoid it, since you don't want to go home, I will accompany you to your uncle." ”

Yuxu Sanren shook his head and said, "I'm not going." As soon as the circles under his eyes were red, he seemed to be about to shed tears.

Duan Yu hurriedly said: "Okay." You don't go. I'm here with you. ”

Speaking of this, Duan Yu turned his head to Zhu Danchen and said, "Fourth Brother Zhu, please go and report to my uncle and father, just say that my mother and son are here to meet the enemy side by side." Work together to resist the four evildoers. ”

The Jade Void Man couldn't help but laugh out loud. said: "You are not ashamed. What do you have to work with me to fight against the four evildoers? ”

She made her son laugh, but the tears that had been in her eyes finally flowed down her cheeks. hurriedly turned his back and raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, so as not to be seen by everyone.

"Aunt, I will also stay here, and Brother Yu will accompany you to resist the four evildoers, although my martial arts are not very high, but my little mink is very powerful, even if I can't beat the four evildoers, I can always help." At this time, Zhong Ling also spoke.

Dao Baifeng heard that she was very affectionate to her son, and suddenly her heart moved, and she faintly guessed that the relationship between this little girl and her son was mostly extraordinary, so she asked with a soft smile: "Miss Zhong, I don't know what to call the names of Ling Zun and Ling Tang?" ”

Zhong Ling said: "My father's name is Zhong Wanqiu, nicknamed Ma Wang Shen; My mother's name is ......."

Before Zhong Ling could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the willow forest, and someone shouted in the distance: "Fourth brother, is the son okay?" ”

Everyone immediately looked at the place where the voice came from, Dao Baifeng, who was asking himself, and Zhong Ling, who was answering, were no exception, but as for the topic that had not yet been completed, it was temporarily put aside.

Zhu Danchen shouted and responded: "The prince is here, safe and well." ”

In a moment, I saw three horses galloping to stop in front of the view, Chu Wanli, Gu Ducheng, and Fu Sigui dismounted and approached, bowed to the ground, and saluted the sword Baifeng.

Dao Bai Feng saw that the three people were embarrassed, Fu Sigui was injured by the blade on his face, half of his face was wrapped in a white cloth, Gu Ducheng's body was covered with blood, and Chu Wanli's long iron rod was only half of it, and he hurriedly asked, "What?" Is the enemy strong? What about Sigui's injury? ”

Fu Sigui heard her ask, aroused his anger again, and said loudly: "Sigui is not good at learning, and he is ashamed, and the princess is worried." ”

Yu Xuan said quietly: "What else do you call me princess?" You have to remember a little better. ”

Fu Sigui lowered his head and said, "Yes!" Please forgive the princess. "He is still talking about 'princess', and he is used to being called in the past, and it is not easy to change his words.

Zhu Danchen saw that there were only three of them, but he didn't see Gao Shengtai, his heart couldn't help but burst, and he hurriedly said: "Three brothers, where is the Marquis Gao?" ”

Chu Wanli said: "Hou Ye Gao suffered a little internal injury, and it is inconvenient to run fast on a horse, so let's take a look at the safety of the prince first, he is riding a horse and walking slowly, and this is coming." ”

Dao Baifeng couldn't help but let out a soft "ah", and hurriedly asked, "Gao Hou Ye is also injured?" No...... Does it matter? ”

Chu Wanli said: "Gao Hou Ye led a few of us to hunt down and kill Ye Erniang, the second of the four evildoers, and finally blocked the evil woman, seeing that her life was about to end, who would have thought that the eldest of the four evildoers suddenly arrived with the three evildoers Nanhai Crocodile God and the four evildoers Yun Zhonghe, and injured all of us in a few strokes, and even Gao Houye was seriously injured and vomited blood by him with an iron rod. ”

Zhong Ling couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then how did you escape?" ”

Chu Wanli lowered his head: "It's a shame to say that the big wicked man heard us and knew the identity of the Marquis Gao, so he stopped and didn't take our lives, but asked us to come back and pass the word to the emperor and the prince, saying that their rivals had come to the door, and let the two masters wait carefully for his revenge." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, they didn't know what this big villain meant, what kind of grudge he had with the Duan family, why did he come to trouble the Duan family? And since they want to deal with their Duan family, why do they want to let go of Chu Wanli and other subordinates of the Duan family?

Ling Muyun was very bright in his heart, he knew that the reason why Duan Yanqing was an enemy of Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun's brothers was not because of any personal grudges, but because of the competition for the throne of Dali. And Gao Shengtai, the Marquis of Shanyan, is an important minister of the Dali court, and the power of the Gao clan in Dali is only under the royal Duan clan, once Duan Yanqing kills Gao Shengtai. In the future, Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun brothers can be eliminated, and the Gao clan and the ministers oppose it, and he may not be able to ascend the throne as the king.

It was precisely because of this scruple that Duan Yanqing did not kill Gao Shengtai, and Chu Wanli and the other three were able to survive, all because they borrowed Gao Shengtai's light.

Dao Baifeng took Duan Yu's hand and said, "Let's go, let's take a look at your Uncle Gao." At that moment, the mother and son walked out of the willow forest together, Ling Muyun and Zhong Ling also went out, and Chu Wanli and the others tied their mounts to the willow tree. Follow behind.

The crowd came out of the willow forest. But seeing a horse coming slowly in the distance, there was a person lying on the horse's back, and everyone quickly greeted him, Ling Muyun looked at it. I saw that the person was Gao Shengtai. Just compared to yesterday when we broke up. At this time, the situation of Gao Shengtai is much more miserable. His hair was disheveled, his face was pale and bloodless, and his close-fitting iron flute was long gone.

Duan Yu hurriedly stepped forward. He asked, "Uncle Gao, what do you think?" ”

Gao Shengtai said: "It's okay. When he raised his head, he saw Dao Baifeng, struggling to dismount and salute.

Dao Baifeng hurriedly said: "Master Gao, you have injuries on your body, don't be polite." ”

But Gao Shengtai had already dismounted, bowed down and said, "Minister Gao Shengtai respectfully asks the princess how she is doing." ”

Dao Baifeng returned the salute and said, "Yu'er, quickly hold on to your Uncle Gao." ”

Previously, Zhu Danchen and Fu Sigui called her the princess, and she was displeased, and reprimanded them to change their words, but Gao Shengtai, as an important minister of Dali, has an extraordinary status, and she was injured like this for her son, but she didn't want to say anything more because of a trivial matter.

Dao Baifeng said: "Master Hou, please go back to Dali to recuperate immediately." ”

"Yes." Gao Shengtai bowed down and said, "The four wicked people came to Dali together, the situation is extremely dangerous, and I also ask the princess to return to the palace temporarily." ”

Dao Baifeng sighed and said, "In my life, I will never go back." ”

"That being the case, we will guard outside the Jade Void Temple, and we will not let the four evildoers disturb the princess." Gao Shengtai looked solemn, and then said to Fu Sigui: "Sigui, you go back as soon as possible to report the situation here to the emperor and the prince." ”

"Yes!" Fu Sigui agreed, and immediately rushed to the mount tied to the outside of the Jade Void Temple.

"Wait!" Dao Baifeng stopped Fu Sigui, pondered for a moment, his face changed for a while, and finally sighed and said: "Okay, let's go back to Dali together, we can't be alone for me, so that everyone can take this risk." ”

Duan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, jumped up, hugged her head and neck, and shouted, "This is my good mother!" ”

"My subordinates will report first." Fu Sigui said happily, ran over and took the mount, turned over to the horse, and galloped north.

Chu Wanli led the horse and asked Dao Baifeng and others to get on the horse, because there were not enough horses, after Dao Baifeng, Ling Muyun and others or the host or guest took the lead in getting on the horse, Chu Wanli and others were not enough, and there was bound to be one person walking without a horse. Seeing this situation, Zhong Ling took the initiative to ask to ride a horse with Duan Yu, and set out a horse for Chu Wanli and others to ride.

Chu Wanli and the others refused to say anything at first, and Dao Baifeng saw this and said: "Chu Guard, if you are in a hurry, let Miss Zhong and Yu'er take care of it first, and when they get to the town in front, they will buy a horse." ”

Dao Baifeng can see that Duan Yu and Zhong Ling have deep roots, otherwise Zhong Ling is a child of the rivers and lakes, and he will never take the initiative to ask to ride with Duan Yu, and the son who is humble and polite when he reads poetry and books should have refused a long time ago. In the current situation, it is clear that Lang has the intention of being a concubine, how can she, who is a mother, not fulfill her precious son?

Chu Wanli and the others saw that the princess had spoken, so they didn't say more, so everyone got on their horses and walked to Dali together. When passing by a town, Chu Wanli hurriedly went out to buy a horse and came back, and Zhong Ling finally didn't have to ride with Duan Yu anymore. Just looking at the reluctant appearance of the two when they separated, Ling Muyun couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart, but he was afraid that most of their little lovers would still complain that Chu Wanli was too positive.

It was nearly evening, everyone was still twenty or thirty miles away from Dali City, and suddenly saw the dust rising in front of them, thousands of cavalry marched in line, two apricot yellow flags were waving in the wind, one flag was written with two red characters of 'Zhennan', and the other flag was written with two black characters of 'Baoguo'.

Ling Muyun's heart moved, knowing that this was Duan Zhengchun who came to greet him personally, and the 'Zhennan' written on this banner should refer to Duan Zhengchun's title of King of Zhennan in Dali, but I don't know what the word 'Baoguo' means, but it is nothing more than an official name and a title or something.

As soon as Ling Muyun's thoughts were finished, he heard Duan Yu on the side shouting, "Mother, Daddy personally greeted you." ”

Dao Baifeng snorted. Stopped the horse. Gao Shengtai and the others dismounted together to let them stay on the side of the road, Duan Yu stepped forward, Zhong Ling hesitated, and followed. And Ling Muyun stopped in place with Dao Baifeng, although Duan Zhengchun is the king of Dali Zhennan, but in the eyes of Ling Muyun, who has traveled through the martial arts world several times, fought the emperor and ridden the princess, it is nothing serious, he is not a subordinate of the other party, so naturally he will not follow Gao Shengtai and other Dali subordinates to avoid humbly.

In a moment, the two sides galloped closer. Duan Yu shouted: "Daddy." My mother is back. ”

The two standard-bearers stepped aside, and a purple-robed man rode a big white horse to meet him, shouting, "Yu'er, you are really messing around. Uncle Gao was so tired that he was seriously injured. Look, I don't break your legs. ”

Ling Muyun followed the sound. I saw that this purple-robed man had a Chinese face, sword eyebrows, and a straight nose and a square mouth. There is a king's appearance, but there is a bit of a dashing state between the eyebrows, it is really a talent, although he is middle-aged, but there is still no lack of suave, it is really a graceful bearing, a talent, no wonder Qin Hongmian, Gan Baobao, Ruan Xingzhu, Mrs. Wang and other people who are fat and thin, and they are good at winning in the account.

Although Duan Zhengchun's words were strong, in addition to the three points of anger on his face, there were seven points of liking. Obviously, he was also extremely happy to see his son return unharmed, and he only pretended to be angry in order to maintain his father's majesty.

It's just that Duan Yu could already see from the smile on his face that he was not really angry, so he was not afraid, and immediately stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Daddy, your old man is well." ”

Duan Zhengchun feigned anger and said, "What's good? I finally didn't give you any anger. ”

Duan Yu salivated and said, "Dad, although it is not right for my son to sneak away from home this time, it is not completely without gain. If it weren't for his son going out this time, he wouldn't have been able to pick up his mother back. The son's hard work is really amazing, let's even if we make the credit for the crime, Dad, don't be angry. ”

Duan Zhengchun snorted and said, "Even if I don't beat you, your uncle won't be able to spare you." I heard that you have made a lot of friends when you went out this time, so why don't you introduce them to me? ”

"My son did meet two good friends on this trip, so I'll introduce you to your father."

Duan Yu immediately invited Ling Muyun and Zhong Ling over and introduced them to Duan Zhengchun, and Ling Muyun and Zhong Ling immediately bowed to Duan Zhengchun. Duan Zhengchun saw that Ling Muyun and Zhong Ling were handsome and refined, and the women were delicate and cute, and they looked like they were not ordinary people's children, and he was quite satisfied, but he felt that his son's vision was not bad, and he did not make friends promiscuously.

After briefly talking to Ling Muyun and Zhong Ling, fulfilling the etiquette, and caring about Gao Shengtai's injury, Duan Zhengchun couldn't wait to run towards Dao Baifeng and say goodbye to Dao Baifeng.

At the beginning, Dao Baifeng ignored him with a cold face, but then he couldn't bear his sweet words and constant persuasion, coupled with Duan Yu's lively atmosphere of gags in the past, Dao Baifeng couldn't hold back, and finally nodded, and rode towards the city with Duan Zhengchun.

At dusk, the group entered the south gate of Dali City. Wherever the two banners of 'Zhennan' and 'Baoguo' went, the people cheered loudly: "The prince of Zhennan is a thousand years old!" "Shogun Chitose!" King Zhennan waved in reply. Ling Muyun's heart was secretly moved, it seems that this two brothers, Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun, have good means of governing the country, and they are quite popular in this Dali country.

Dali City is densely populated, the street is paved with bluestone, and the city is prosperous. Although it is not as magnificent as the imperial capitals of major countries such as Zhongdu, Lin'an, and Beijing that Ling Muyun has seen in the world of Condor Shooting and Luding, it also has its own atmosphere of the national capital.

After a few streets, there is a big stone road straight in front of you, at the end of the road stands countless yellow tile palaces, the sunset shines on the glazed tiles, the gold is brilliant, and it is dazzling. Around the palace, the armor-clad guards stood solemnly and were heavily guarded.

Ling Muyun's heart moved, knowing that this should be the palace of Dali Kingdom. Duan Zhengming is not only the emperor of Dali, but also the head of the Duan family, this time Dao Baifeng and Duan Yu's mother and son come back, whether in public or private, they should first come to the palace to meet Duan Zhengming and his wife.

When everyone came to the gate of the palace, they saw a eunuch walking out quickly, and said to Duan Zhengchun: "Lord Qi, the emperor and the mother are waiting in the prince's mansion, please ask the prince and the princess to go back to the palace in Zhennan to see the driver." ”

At that moment, everyone turned back to Zhennan Wangfu, went out of Gongqian Street, turned east, traveled about two miles, and came to a large mansion. There are two big flags in front of the house, and the flags are embroidered with the words "Zhennan" and "Baoguo" respectively, and the forehead of the house is written as "Zhennan Wangfu". The door was full of personal guards, bowing and saluting, welcoming the prince and princess back to their homes.

The group entered the palace, everyone waited in the hall, Duan Zhengchun, Duan Yu and Dao Baifeng entered the inner hall to meet the emperor.

After about half an hour, a eunuch walked out of the inner hall and said, "The emperor has a decree: to meet the Marquis, Ling Muyun, and Zhong Ling. ”

Gao Shengtai saw that the eunuch came out, and he had already stood up respectfully, Zhong Ling also stood up from his seat when he saw this, only Ling Muyun was still sitting with a big thorn, although the Dali royal family was majestic, it was not enough to make him cautious.

Listening to the eunuch calling his name, the decree he passed was also the tone of the emperor summoning his courtiers, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but because of Duan Yu's affection, it was inconvenient to attack, and with a cold face, he went to see Duan Zhengming with Gao Shengtai and Zhong Ling.

Gao Shengtai observed his words and saw that Ling Muyun was unhappy, so he said in a low voice: "Young Master Ling, the royal family has its own royal rules and etiquette, and it cannot be abandoned, and I hope that Gongzi will forgive me." ”

Ling Muyun glanced at Gao Shengtai, nodded and did not speak, his face was slightly pale.

Gao Shengtai secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw this. After everyone converged, he had already learned from Zhu Danchen that Ling Muyun had fought with Duan Yanqing, the head of the four evildoers. Almost killed by Duan Yanqing's men, Gao Shengtai naturally knew that Duan Yanqing was powerful, although Ling Muyun was also injured under Duan Yanqing's men, but being able to escape from Duan Yanqing's men was enough to prove Ling Muyun's ability.

Especially Ling Muyun is still so young, and his future is limitless, with his relationship with Duan Yu, he is likely to become a strong reinforcement of the Duan clan in Dali in the future. If it is because of a little thing that makes him feel guilty, it really outweighs the loss. (To be continued......)
