Nangong Shuo was in front, Xiao Lingji followed, Zhang Fu followed behind the two of them with high vigilance in case someone caught up, the three of them did not dare to delay time, and walked forward in the dark, until they came out of the waterfall because they dared to rest a little because of Xiao Lingji's injury. After resting, the two hurriedly helped Xiao Lingji down the mountain, and found the two horses they were riding when they came, Nangong Shuo and Xiao Lingji rode together, and the two horses spread their hooves and ran towards the post station.

Arrived at the post station, the sky was about to dawn, Liu Sheng saw that the three of them had returned safely, wiped his tears excitedly, and hurriedly helped Xiao Lingji to sit down, Guo Yicheng was fortunate to keep rubbing his hands, Heiwa and Zhuzhu The two post guards also stood aside and smiled innocently with sincerity and concern, which made Nangong Shuo, who had just escaped from the thief's den, feel warm.

"Second prince, Gu Qingfeng will chase after you at any time, let's quickly pack up and leave here quickly." Nangong Shuo saw that Xiao Lingji was fine, so he spoke.

Speaking of Gu Qingfeng, Xiao Lingji said angrily: "Gu Qingfeng, a shameless man, dares to use drugs to murder the master, take it seriously!" He came just in time, and I had to skin him. ”

Nangong Shuo knew that he was angry in his heart, and persuaded him: "Second prince, it is not difficult to deal with a mere Gu Qingfeng, but we must rush to Liangzhou within a limited date, if we are entangled with Gu Qingfeng here, and delay the auspicious day of welcoming relatives, we can't explain to the prince and the prince when we go back, and it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge." ”

Liu Sheng also persuaded on the side: "Second Prince, what Young Master Nangong said is very true, those bandits, let them jump for a few more days first, and then clean them up when you have your hands free." ”

Although Xiao Lingji was unwilling, thinking of his father's instructions when he left home and the ice-like face of his eldest brother Xiao Lingting, he could only sigh heavily, suppressing the depression and humiliation in his heart.

Seeing this, Nangong Shuo instructed Liu Sheng and Zhang Fudao: "Steward Liu, Guard Zhang, you all go and prepare, and after half an hour, we will set off." The two of them answered.

Seeing this, Guo Yicheng did not stay, and said to Heiwa and the two post guards: "The nobles are in a hurry, you go and prepare some water and dry food." ”

Nangong Shuo was moved, took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to him: "Guo Yicheng, this time I and the others have caused a lot of trouble to the post station, thank you for your help!" ”

Guo Yicheng looked at the heavy bag of silver, and rubbed his hands even more helplessly, "The nobles can go to the post station to sharpen, it is really a bright wall, and it is also an honor for the little people to be able to serve the nobles, and the nobles do not need to be polite." ”

Nangong Shuo saw that he had no intention of accepting him, so he stepped forward and stuffed the silver into his arms, and said sincerely: "The life of the post station is hard, this bag of silver, add some food and clothing to the post man and the two post guards." ”

In this way, Yi Cheng had to accept the silver taels and thanked him repeatedly.

Half an hour later, the morning sun appeared, and the greeting team set off and went straight to Liangzhou.

The Crow Ridge forage field suddenly caught fire, and everyone did not expect it, and there was no water source on the mountain, so the forage field was completely reduced to ashes in the fire, but fortunately, the forage field was far away from all the houses, so there were no major casualties.

Gu Qingfeng's face was gloomy, his expression was unpredictable, and Master Mustache stood aside, looking at the two panicked little minions below, who were the two who were knocked unconscious by Nangong Shuo during the previous patrol.

"Tell me, why did you faint in the grass?" Master Mustache asked slowly.

A small minion said: "Go back to the master, go back to the master, the little one...... The small ones are knocked out. ”

Another little minion also hurriedly spoke: "The little ones were also knocked unconscious." ”

"Who knocked you out?" Master Mustache then asked.

The little minion hurriedly said: "It's a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, I don't know who it is, and a big man in his thirties." ”

The other little minion was anxious, and said while snorting: "That young man told me the direction of the dungeon and knocked me unconscious. The owner of the village forgave his sins, and the small one said the location of the dungeon, and he was persecuted. ”

Gu Qingfeng looked at his cowardly appearance, a nameless fire rose in his heart, and he roared impatiently: "You two, get out of the way!" ”

The two little minions ran out one after the other, as if they had been granted amnesty.

Gu Qingfeng was upset, and asked Master Mustache: "Master, the person who rescued Xiao Lingji must be his subordinates." There is one thing I can't understand, my Crow Ridge is a natural danger, anyone who wants to go up the mountain can only rely on our people to pull it up with a cable, the cable didn't move last night, how did the people who saved Xiao Lingji go up the mountain? ”

Master Mustache stroked his beard and said: "If you go back to the ancient master, the cable has not moved, and it is impossible for them to fly up, which can only mean that there is still a road that can go straight to Crow Ridge, and this road, they know, but we don't know." ”

Gu Qingfeng was taken aback when he heard this: "The road we don't know? ”

Master Mustache nodded affirmatively, and arched his hand: "Please give the order of Master Gu, let the brothers search carefully on the mountain, and you can't let go of any clues, you must find that way." If this road is not sealed, Crow Ridge is in danger! ”

Gu Qingfeng nodded, expressed his approval, thought of King Yi, and said worriedly: "Master, Xiao Lingji was rescued from the dungeon, how should I explain to King Yi?" ”

Master Mustache replied: "The delivery time for the three weapons that Beiyan wants is very tight, and now most of the brothers in Crow Ridge have been requisitioned to the armory, and the remaining brothers are not enough to deal with Nangong Ming's five hundred elite soldiers, and it is useless to chase them." Gu Ye can use this as an excuse to take the opportunity to escort Yin Liang to Liuzhou Yiwang Mansion to send a letter to the prince, and then privately ask the advisors around the prince to speak well for the prince, and the prince will not be too embarrassed by the ancient master. ”

Gu Qingfeng's thin body seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy mist, he didn't dare to offend An Guogong, nor did he dare to offend King Yi, there was really a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back, he, the king of the mountain, was too difficult to be. He picked up a glass of wine in front of him and drank it down, as if he had made a lot of determination: "I'm afraid that King Yi will not give up, but now in this situation, this can only be done." ”

Xiao Lingji and Nangong Shuo went all the way, did not dare to delay any longer, and finally arrived in Liangzhou two days later, and as soon as they stepped into the boundary of Liangzhou, they saw a sergeant riding a horse to meet them, and asked them loudly: "Dare to ask, is it the person who built the Nanwang Mansion?" ”

Xiao Lingji glanced at Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu understood, took a step forward on horseback, and responded loudly: "We are the welcoming team of Jiannan Palace. ”

After receiving the reply, the sergeant immediately turned over and dismounted, trotted all the way to the carriage that Xiao Lingji was riding, knelt down and replied: "I have seen the second prince, the younger one is the outpost officer sent by An Guogong, and Lord Wu Jianwu has been welcoming you at the post station in front for a long time. ”

When Xiao Lingji and Nangong Shuo heard Wu Jian's name, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, the journey was difficult, and they finally arrived in Liangzhou.

Remembering his father Xiao Dingfeng's instructions to put away his son's temperament, Xiao Lingji put up his shelf and said to the sergeant: "You go back to Lord Wu quickly, and say that we will arrive later." ”

"Yes!" The sergeant replied and rode away.

Xiao Lingji jumped out of the carriage and instructed Zhang Fudao: "Guard Zhang, bring my horse over, I want to ride a horse." Zhang Fu answered.

As soon as Liu Sheng heard that Xiao Lingji was going to abandon the car and ride a horse, he hurriedly said, "Second Prince, your injuries haven't healed yet." ”

Nangong Shuo smiled when he heard this: "Steward Liu, you just let the second prince ride a horse, the Wu family is a gate, and the second prince takes a carriage to greet his relatives, isn't it a joke?" ”。

Xiao Lingji laughed loudly when he heard Nangong Shuo's words, and sure enough, this friend of his could understand his thoughts at any time.
