In the New Year of the third year of Yongning, the capital is very lively. First, someone revealed that Yang Cheng did not die at the hands of mountain bandits, but was killed by Xue Shengying, and soon after, the Jingyang Zhang family found Yang Cheng's orphan Yang Yi, and they were even clamoring for justice from the imperial court.

The Xue brothers inevitably wanted to cry out for injustice, saying that they were all because they couldn't bear to see the people of Qingzhou being slaughtered by mountain bandits, so they led troops into Qingzhou to quell the bandits. And he was not the only one who sent troops, at that time Taixing also sent troops to the east to suppress bandits, and also fought against the mountain bandits with Yang Cheng's allied army, helping them recapture Yiping City.

The He family naturally said that this was the case, they worked hard to help Yang Cheng recapture Yiping, but they didn't want Yang Cheng to die, so they had to guard Yiping for Yang Cheng first.

This section of the public case not only involved several major military towns in Jiangbei, but also began to turmoil in the Shengdu court, and the kings surnamed Qi were already dissatisfied with Prime Minister Xiao Zhun's arbitrary power, and they all used the matter of Jiangbei to accuse Xiao Zhun of bullying the monarch and covering the sky with one hand. In March, King Yue suddenly led his troops to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion and found dragon robes and other items from Xiao Zhun's study, pointing directly at the Prime Minister's rebellion.

Empress Xiao was so anxious when she heard the news, she knelt outside the emperor's door and cried that her father Xiao Zhun was framed by King Yue. The emperor closed the door and did not see him, and the concubine Feng who was pregnant with Liujia kindly stepped forward to comfort the queen, but she didn't want to be pushed by the angry Empress Xiao, which led to the premature birth of the fetus in the womb.

The emperor was furious, and after the edict was about to be abolished, the concubine Feng on the delivery bed pleaded hard for the queen, saying that the queen pushed her unintentionally, and it was all because of Xiao Zhun's matter that she lost her mind for a while. When the emperor saw her pleading for the queen like this, he didn't feel even more pity for her, and even the court also praised the virtuous and honest concubine.

Who knew that Concubine Feng wanted to protect Empress Xiao here, but King Yue was not allowed there, suing the queen and Cheng for plotting to make trouble, and asking the emperor to abolish the queen. Under the coercion of the kings surnamed Qi, the emperor had to depose the queen of Xiao as a concubine, and at the same time, the prime minister Xiao Zhun was dismissed and imprisoned, and handed over to Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate his rebellion. Within a few days, Xiao Zhun committed suicide in prison, and Xiao Zhun's rebellion was confirmed, and more than 1,000 of Xiao's relatives and cronies were beheaded.

The capital is in chaos, and the military towns in Jiangbei have no scruples. In April, Jingyang Zhang's troops marched eastward, approaching Qingzhou through the Xinye and Wu'an lines. Xue Shengying retreated all his troops into Qingzhou, depending on the situation, to hold Qingzhou City. At the same time, the Taixing He family also secretly transferred troops to prepare for war and spied on Jingyang.

The world is about to be in turmoil, but life in the mountains is quite peaceful. Chennian's arm is good, but Chaoyangzi has not left. Don't say that Wen Daya and others wish that this miracle doctor could join the gang on the mountain, even Chen Nian also felt that it was really convenient to have Chaoyangzi in the village, not to mention anything else, at least everyone who had a headache and brain fever didn't need to go out to invite Langzhong, which saved trouble and money.

Chen Nian saw that Chaoyangzi had no intention of leaving, so he took Wen Daya and others to keep him a few times, and after a basket of good words, Chaoyangzi who was finally replaced "reluctantly" stayed.

He didn't leave, so he didn't let the female demon Jing Yuxuan go. According to Chaoyangzi's words, this person has too many enemies, and now his martial arts are not good, and once he goes out, he will inevitably be sought revenge soon. When he said this, Chaoyangzi habitually rolled his eyes again, and said very arrogantly: "Dao Master, I can easily save her from the evil way, how can I let her die in the hands of others like this, it's too much of a loss, it won't work, it won't work,"

For this sentence, Jing Yuxuan pointed at the tip of Chaoyangzi's nose and scolded for almost three days, but in the end he stayed, just vowing to re-practice the Five Aggregates Divine Skill, and sooner or later one day he would make Chaoyangzi look good. Fortunately, everyone has long been accustomed to the way these two people get along, and they are not surprised by this.

After breakfast on this day, Chen Nian led Wen Daya and other people to squat under the wall, basking in the sun while discussing where to do the next business. The money for selling war horses has long been spent, and Chen Nian has already taken them to the road to do a few transactions, although there is no big gain, but it is still smooth.

It was also because of this that Xiao Monkey's courage became bigger and bigger, and he shouted that instead of making a small fuss here, it was better to go farther to Feilongcheng to make a big deal.

"Go to Feilong," Chen Nian hesitated a little, Feilongcheng is two hundred miles away, and it is no longer the sphere of influence of Niutou Mountain, whether it is to watch the wind and step on the plate or to do business, she asked unconsciously: "Will it be a little far?"

Xiao Monkey heard that her mouth was a little loose, and hurriedly said: "It's not far, it's not far, I heard that the gang of people in Hukouling went to it a few days ago, and they happened to meet a team of merchants who ran Jizhou and made a lot of money,"

Wen Daya heard this, but he reached out to slap Xiao Monkey's head, and scolded: "You are also red-eyed by those people in Hukouling, can you also do what they do?"

Hukou Ridge is in the southwest of Niutou Mountain, and there is a gang of bandits entrenched on it, killing people and stealing goods. Generally, mountain bandits rob the road, as long as you happily stay to buy road money, most of them will not hurt people, and they will keep you on the next trip. But the people in Hukouling are different, as long as you fall into their hands, no matter whether you give money or not, you can't save your life.

Earlier, when Qingfeng Village was the boss in Taihang Mountain, he paid attention to leaving a line in everything, and he was not allowed to kill all the merchants in the past. The rest of the cottages are afraid of Zhang Kuisu's prestige, and their behavior is quite restrained, but since Qingfeng Village has not fallen, these people no longer have scruples, and their actions are all based on personal preferences.

Hukouling is even more spicy with his black heart, and he quickly became famous in the North Taihang.

Chen Nian was silent, but Xiao Monkey refused to give up, and hurriedly said: "We are not the same as those people in Hukouling, we just go to ask for some money, and try not to hurt people's lives." ”

Before the words fell, he suddenly heard Jing Yuxuan scolding loudly in the house: "You are a mountain bandit, and you are not a hero, whether he is injured or not, it is the right thing to get money." After saying it for a long time, I haven't come up with a crooked result, and I'm embarrassed to say that I'm an old man,"

Everyone was speechless by her scolding, and even Chen Nian lowered his head. Wen Daya glanced at her and comforted her: "The big boss is not a master, she only scolds us, not you." ”

Chen Nian looked at Wen Daya with a serious face, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

Fortunately, Jing Yuxuan only scolded for two sentences and stopped, and after a while, Chaoyangzi came out of the house, his face was also very embarrassed, nodded to everyone, and said in a low voice: "I have ordered her dumb hole, it's okay." ”

Everyone was shocked, and then looked at Chaoyangzi's eyes full of admiration and sympathy. He now clicked on Jing Yuxuan's acupoint, afraid that after the acupoint opened, Jing Yuxuan would be able to scold him for a day. Chaoyangzi saw everyone's thoughts, and only waved his hand and said: "It's not in the way, I'm used to it, I'm used to it." ”

Chen Nian smiled, turned his head to look at Cui Xi, who had been silent next to him, and asked, "What do you think?"

Cui Xi thought for a while and replied: "You can go, it's not difficult to do business, the difficult thing is how to deal with the aftermath when you finish the transaction, we are in the east of Hukouling, if we rob their business, they are afraid that they will not be able to give up." ”

Chen Nian also thought of this, but she was not afraid of those people in Hukouling, although there were not many people in her village, there may be a lot of people, not to mention Lu Xiao, who was practicing knives behind the village, he took Chaoyangzi out, and it was a joke to beat the people in Hukouling. However, I'm afraid that Chaoyangzi will not be honest and obedient. Although he is staying in the stockade at the moment, he has not joined the gang, and he must not follow them to do business, and he must find a way to coax him into being fooled, so that he will willingly follow them.

Chen Nian thought for a moment, gradually noticed in his heart, looked up at Chaoyangzi, and said: "Dao Chief, I have to ask you to solve the acupoints of Senior Jing, I have something to ask her." ”

When Chaoyangzi heard her say this, he immediately squinted at her, and asked with some vigilance, "What do you ask her for?"

Chen Nian smiled: "It's not something that makes it difficult for her. As she spoke, she sent everyone away, got up and entered Jing Yuxuan's room. Jing Yuxuan had already heard the conversation outside in the house, and when he saw Chen Nian entering the house, he stared at her, and there was confusion in his eyes.

Chen Nian smiled at her, then turned around and urged Chaoyangzi to say, "Dao Chief, don't hurry up and unlock Senior Jing's acupoint." ”

Jing Yuxuan turned to glare at Chaoyangzi again, and Chaoyangzi had no choice but to step forward and unlock Jing Yuxuan's acupoint. Jing Yuxuan scolded him twice, then turned his head to look at Chen Nian and asked, "Little girl, what do you want me to do?"

Chen Nian said that he wanted to make his intentions clear, but he wanted to ask Jing Yuxuan to teach everyone in the village a few martial arts. Chen Nian said: "There are too few people in our village, and all of them have low martial arts, so they can only be bullied by others when they go out." Moreover, these people in the village have passed the best age for practicing martial arts, and now they are practicing hard from scratch, and they are just a small role that does not enter the stream until death. Fortunately, God is merciful and gives us another opportunity, so that we can meet our predecessors. The predecessors are martial arts wizards, we don't dare to be greedy, just ask you for a few tricks, it is better than learning from other places for many years. ”

After listening to this, Jing Yuxuan nodded slowly and said, "It's better for the little girl to tell the truth, I'm the most annoying to go around in circles and calculate me." ”

Chen Nian said with a smile: "Seniors, don't praise me, I don't tell the truth to anyone, although I haven't learned martial arts well, but I have also learned some truths, someone has told me before, so that the heart and eye score to whom, in front of the peerless powerhouse, all the heart and eye means are like jokes, so that it is not as good as telling the truth,"

Her sycophant shot is very good, not only does it not show flattery, but it makes people think that she is honest, Jing Yuxuan is even more comfortable when she listens to it, and can't help asking: "Who said this to you?"

Chen Nian didn't want her to ask this, and when she heard this, her smile didn't seem to be slightly sluggish, and then she replied: "It's the master in the previous village,"

Jing Yuxuan praised: "It's a smart person,"

Chen Nian listened to it, but his heart was slightly sneering, and he said in his heart Jing Yuxuan's words were not wrong, Feng Junyang can be regarded as a rare smart person in the world,
