Chapter 23: The Exodus
Early in the morning, Daotong Pei Shuhuai bowed his head and reported: "Master Zhang, the clothes needed by Senior Brother Senyuan have been sent, these days are almost three sets a day, I really can't wash it by myself, you see, is it an increase in manpower." ”
Next time, tell him that he is naked without wearing, and he really thinks he is the master of the cave. After a pause, he said: "You said that he only eats once every three days? This is not good, it is up to him to eat or not, and he will still send ......it when the time comes."
Dumb has been doing exercises three times a day in the past few days, and every time he has made his life worse than death, which is very different from the pleasure when he first peeked at the door. The filth floating on the surface of the water seems to be endless, and I really don't know when I will be able to wash myself away, "When will this day be the head?" sighed, Dumb buried his head in the earthly river, and his heart was like falling into hell. The mouth silently recited the ancient relics: "Great love in the heart, fix me." Seek your own peak, so that you can do what you want and help the world. Quietly watch the world, find a bright road, and soothe the ...... of the common people".
Time flies, unconsciously the snow falls at the beginning of winter, and a young man steps out of the Jindan Cave in the south of the peak, with fluttering clothes, a smooth complexion and snow, long hair scattered, his eyes are blazing like stars, and he falls on the top of the mountain between breaths, ethereal and dusty, if he is reborn after quenching. But listening to this person's next words, I'm afraid you will be shocked: "I wanted to come out to bask in the sun, but when it snowed on a cloudy day, a big man was born so white and pure, it was really shameless." Standing on the top of the twelve peaks with one foot, stretching his waist greatly, this white brother flew down to the bottom of the peak, and faintly heard: "But it suffocates me to death... Who dares to talk to me?".
There is a half-mountain pavilion between the sword cliff and the Feilai Peak, it is the only way for the main peak to go to and from the peaks, the three fat men have been staying here for several days, at the moment the beard is unshaven, the face is decadent, and even the facial features of the joy have been stretched a few points. I calculated in my heart: If I don't see anyone again today, Lao Tzu will have to go down the mountain if he says anything, even if he is trampled to death by the army, it is better than waiting here.
I only heard a sudden cheer in the air: "Brother Fan, why are you here?--Oops! Blame me, how many days have passed since the five-day appointment?" Lao Tzu is here, and I don't know that I have lost dozens of pounds, so I just want to give you a little letter."
At first sight of this fat man, Dumb was completely immersed in joy: "I'll see, where the weight has been lost, it's because the clothes have been thin! This beard is not pleasing at all! Hurry up and find a fire." Hey, what a wife, Lao Tzu has never married a ......................"
It turned out that the imperial court honor guard came up to the mountain that day, and attracted the twelve peaks of Zhong Qi to make a great work, but it was past noon, but the person in charge did not come, only a few small paths in the Zixia Temple were perfunctory. Ma Rulong, the captain of the light car, was angry in his heart, and he didn't know how to end it. But I heard the bell ringing eleven, the chime knocked on the three links, and the sound was passed down from peak to peak leisurely, so it was a three-pillar incense scene. This time, people came quickly, and several young Taoist priests rushed in, but the first one was Changbai. "The sect transmits the sound, and the sword is cast at the gate to welcome the imperial court honor guard, and the small path will send the adults forward." Although the boss was reluctant in his heart, he just checked the terrain for the next day's attack, Ma Rulong suppressed his anger and ordered his troops to go up the mountain.
Who knows, this Immortal Sword Sect is such a big dojo, stretching up to the time of the palm lamp, it can be rested at the fifth peak, so it was delayed for another night, until the sun set on the second day, and this team of 100 people arrived at the place. At this time, even Ma Rulong was exhausted, and when he first came, the momentum of the Xingshi questioning was already gone. Then there was a lot of ushering and sending, placing Zhang Luo, and waiting for the atrium to sit firmly and start the discussion, it was already dark in all directions. Seeing that although the Immortal Sword Sect was not panicked and should be in order, Ma Duwei forcibly cultivated and confronted the matter of the Seven Princesses with Ling Yun's real person, but Ling Yun looked calm and did not hide it, as if he already knew it in his heart.
I only listened to Ling Yun's true humanity: "This time, the imperial court mobilized the people to come, and the sect naturally did not dare to slack off, as long as it is not suspicious of the remoteness and thrift here, the general should do what he needs, and the evil sect will do everything to show his heart." Now that Renjun is alive, the world is peaceful, and the outer hall of the Bad Sect has been blessed by the imperial court, and it has prospered in recent years." I wanted to be polite according to the script, but I seemed to feel that a few people behind Ma Rulong were impatient, and Lingyun Zhenren changed his words: "According to the words, the seventh princess is Luan Feng, but when she first came, she only knew the surname Li, Li Naiguo's surname, and the surname was more than a million. Now that he already knew it at this time, he didn't dare to make a mistake. Whether to go or stay, it is all based on the princess's own heart, and the evil religion has never intervened in the slightest. Now that Princess Luan is driving in the Qinglian Courtyard, I think I know your intentions at this moment, and we can meet tomorrow morning, as for the result, it all depends on the princess's wishes."
Ma Rulong nodded secretly in his heart, his face seemed to have no flaws to follow, and he had no intention of holding him hostage, but if the princess was willing to go back with her, it would really be a ghost. Summoned the minister Xing Dabao to read out the holy decree and secretly checked the color of the Immortal Sword Sect.
Waiting for Licheng and Ma Duwei proposed to meet the princess alone, and the people of the Immortal Sword Sect avoided many other requests. But he heard Ling Yun Zhenren respond: "The person who leads the princess is indeed Zhao Senyuan, a disciple of this sect." The general came, Chen Bing was in the small town at the foot of the mountain, and he captured his parents as hostages, and he was full of suspicions, and he didn't know why he came? If he successfully welcomed back the princess, he also hoped that his family would not know the princess's life experience, and as the saying goes: those who do not know are not guilty. These words penetrated Ma Rulong's eardrums, which were caused by the first line of luck, but everyone in the hall was unaware. Ma Rulong asked himself if he couldn't do it, so he had to nod his head.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun said, "General, let the old man say a few more words." If the princess is bent on death, who will guarantee that Luan will return to Beijing smoothly? This religion has been here for more than 1,000 years, and all dynasties and dynasties have met with the northerners, and the victory and defeat are especially better than in the past."
"When you win, you will be close to you, and when you are defeated, you will show people to be timid, and you will be slow down for a season, and it is not painful, it is really the next policy. I hope to borrow the general's mouth and speak from the bottom of my heart. General Ma is loyal and brave, and he should know that since it is difficult to avoid a war, what if he declares war on the same day?"
Seeing Ma Rulong's face stunned, Ling Yun was still not sad or happy and continued to spread the voice: "At the beginning, although I was not able to fight the enemy, I built a high city and slowly defended the map, and the enemy was trapped in the siege. In the middle of the day, the enemy has penetrated deeply, and there is a lack of provisions, attacks and ambushes, and consumption is balanced. At the end of the day, sitting on the vast south of the Yangtze River, using troops along the north river of the river, breaking and annihilating it, the enemy will be crushed for thousands of miles. This is the structure of the Northern Policy recorded by Shenzong when he was alive. Now it seems that the time has come.
Hey, in fact, what if the princess stays here? To the west, there are only 100,000 mountains, and to the southeast, there are all Kyushu, and it is not the king's land, and it is to stay."
At first, Ma Rulong listened attentively and seemed to feel something, but then suddenly his heart tightened, could it be that the Immortal Sword Sect had decided to fight to the death with the imperial court?
Daniel Zhang, the deputy general behind him, saw that Lingyun Zhenren had not been resolved for a long time, and the chief officer was silent, and said that there was fraud in it, and shouted: "Lingyun Zhenren, since you have pushed it clean with your mouth, what is there to hesitate about? Is it because you have hidden evil intentions? Secretly hiding the princess, bad court, and pro-big plans, if the two countries meet each other because of this, can you afford this crime? Whether you agree or not, the princess must welcome back, otherwise, when the army attacks, you will definitely leave no piece of the Immortal Sword Sect."
On the east side is sitting the ninth elder Fang Zhenren, this son is like a fire, before entering the door is a person from Linzhou, hearing about the matter of harmony, he was already resentful in his heart, but at this moment he could no longer hold back, suddenly opened his eyes and scolded angrily: "Who are you scaring kid? When this sect established a religion here, the Nanyuan court didn't know where it was! When Nanyuan Taizong raised his army, my Immortal Sword Sect Outer Hall also made a great effort, you kid didn't check the imperial calendar when he went out, shouting here, believe it or not, I will let you become rubble ...... now."
"Old Piff, you can't resist the decree!"
The two sides were suddenly tense, and the hall was instantly distinct. Ling Yun Zhenren turned a deaf ear at the moment, his eyes were scorching, and he only stared at Ma Rulong without blinking. At this moment, the huge sword casting hall was surprisingly quiet, until Ma Rulong barely squeezed out a smile, waved his hand behind him, and said, "Okay!
In the early morning, Qinglian Peak was still gray, Qing'er picked up a small package and put it on her chest, which was full of things when she was in the Zhao family, and most of them were dumb and flattering. For her, a princess, it's really nothing, but the person who is about to leave, she has to take something with her, right?
Lian'er was on the sidelines, just watching silently. Qiao'er wanted to help empty-handed, but she couldn't intervene, she was talking to herself and explaining something, and she didn't know whether to comfort Qing'er or herself.
Walking to the door, Qing'er turned around and looked around, there were only a few crude Taoist bamboo furnishings in the house, and now there was no room for herself.
"That's it, I'm leaving". After finishing speaking, the two daughters followed silently, all the way to the gate of Qinglian Peak.
The imperial court guard of honor had been waiting here for a long time, and the eunuch Xing Dabao held the holy decree in his hand and cheered with a smile: "Young master, you are well! These days, you can make the emperor and Concubine Cao both sick in a hurry, and the servants are also thinking about it..." As he spoke, he wiped his tears with the sleeves of his robe, and Ai Ai was about to cry during the period, which really meant that the wind and rain were smooth. only heard a cough from Ma Duwei behind him, and the male duck immediately held the holy decree in his hand and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: ................" After babbling and reading it sharply, I only heard Qing'er whisper: "Okay! Let's go!"
Unexpectedly smooth, but the group of people were fixed in place, and the original good arrangement fell through in an instant. Ma Rulong reacted the fastest, shouting: "Welcome Princess Luan back to Beijing!", only to see that everyone bowed down again, and got up again to get out of the way.
Qing'er tightened her burden, and was about to walk towards the guard of honor, when a plain hand reached out and grabbed her arm. "Princess Niangniang, oh no, Her Royal Highness the Princess, can you take me to the palace to play for a few days? Don't tell me no, who made you a princess?" Qiao'er, who was turning around to wipe her tears, was shocked, and grabbed the corner of Lian'er's clothes: "Lian'er, don't mess around, think about it clearly! Lian'er's chin was slightly yang, first her left eye blinked, and then her right eye was confused, making the little girl in a fog. Qing'er was grateful, clenched Lian'er's hand, and while Qiao'er couldn't react, the two daughters had already walked into the crowd together, leaving Qiao'er alone in place.
On the way back to Qinglian Peak, Qiao'er felt strange in her heart, "I walked two as soon as I left, I don't know how that nerd would feel if he knew." Just as she was thinking wildly, an object jumped out from behind the tree on the side of the road, and the whole body was mixed with strange laughter, which made the little girl scream for a while, and then she saw that it was Shangguan Wan'er carrying a big burden, and a fiery red cloak wrapped her whole body. Qiao'er was even frightened, making her make such a fuss, and she couldn't hang upside down in one breath. I only heard Na Wan'er laugh and said: "Laugh to death, Qiao'er! Your courage is not as big as my Xiaobai, go, I know a shortcut, and I will scare them to death in Zixiaguan later." "I don't mess around with you, if I let the master know, I still don't know how to get angry......." "Little Nizi, have you forgotten that we have sworn to advance and retreat together, if you dare to break your oath, you will definitely go to hell." As she spoke, Wan'er put her hands behind her ears and lowered her voice, as if it was quite similar to that Ah Nose.
Since then, the four women have disappeared on the same day. Outsiders are like fat people, so naturally only four people were arrested together.
