Cigarettes smoke fills and fog rises.

Chen Yuan let out a sigh of relief, and completely entered a realm of selflessness and no distractions, as if he had no desires for everything, which was very mysterious.

At this moment, he is a sage.

After a long time, Lao Yang finally finished smoking, and the smoke that choked his throat was very powerful, and he rolled his eyes and almost passed out.

This parting will take at least a year, and it must leave a deep impression on each other.

Chen Yuan was sitting precariously, not squinting, and muttered for a long time.

Yang Guifei came back to her senses, and the two sides were speechless.

Speaking of which, they were still hostile to each other before, Chen Yuan abolished her own brother and sent her to the border of Liangzhou, and the last war almost fell, but it was also half crippled.

But she couldn't hate it anyway.

Especially when he was about to send him away, he was even a little reluctant.

I can't say it, but it really exists in her heart.

Therefore, after knowing that Chen Yuan was leaving, she took the risk and sneaked out of the harem, just to see Chen Yuan again, and smoke another dry cigarette on her head by the way.

"Be careful in the south, everything is stable, and don't be reckless in case of trouble." Yang Guifei lowered her head, took a sip of a cup of herbal tea, and exhaled like an orchid.

"You don't know my personality yet?"

"I just know that I am worried."

Yang Guifei snorted lightly, quite a little daughter's posture.

Chen Yuan's personality is not known to everyone, but as long as you have contact with him, you can understand that although it is not hot-blooded and impulsive, it is definitely not a stable character.

Either he kills or someone kills him.

If you count Chen Yuan's deeds after coming out of Ping'an County, you will find that he really stepped on a skeleton under his feet to get to this point, ruthless and ruthless.

"Huh."

"The day before yesterday, the palace also heard about the Jinluan Palace, in fact, there is no need for you to refuse, in that case, if it is not for the two countries to openly help each other, and you yourself have no major fault, the emperor will not let you go."

"I know."

What kind of character is Jingtai, although he has not had much contact, but he can be regarded as knowing something, not to mention the domineering tyrant, but he also has this sign.

It is most taboo for courtiers to commit crimes.

Even if Chen Yuan had made great contributions to the imperial court, he was still just a courtier, and he could not resist the emperor, which was contempt for the imperial power.

It's just that at that time, it was impossible for him not to resist.

If he just suffered some losses, he would endure it, and it would be considered for the future, but if he wanted to tie a rope to him, he still had the strength to fight, it was absolutely impossible.

Someone has to die between them!

Sooner or later, it's just that.

"I've seen Pingyang before, and I've tested her meaning, and my hope is still very big." Yang Guifei was silent for a long time, but still spoke.

This is one of the few things she can do for Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan glanced at her, although this kind of thing was not needed, he still had his intentions, and nodded:

"I understand, it's not early, do you have to go back later, do you want to smoke another one?"

Yang Guifei twisted for a moment and bowed slightly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Chen, who smoked several times last night, woke up early, his eyelashes trembled slightly, opened his eyes, and took a moment to empty on the bed, and only got up after a long time.

Looking at all the familiar decorations in the room, Chen Yuan let out a long breath of turbidity.

There's nothing to be reluctant to.

No matter how good the capital is, it is not his home.

No matter how broken Ping'an County is, it has always been his first home in this world, although it is broken, but it is heartwarming.

The news of his departure spread all over the capital, but few people knew when he would leave, and he didn't want to delay it with great fanfare.

The person who should say goodbye has already met before.

You shouldn't say goodbye, and there is no need to see people who don't have a relationship.

He didn't see Sima Ke, it doesn't mean that this person is not important, on the contrary, this guy is still very useful to him, as the fourth son of Jingtai, and with today's momentum, the power is actually not small.

But Jingtai must be jealous of the relationship between him and Sima Ke, and he has already greeted several divine envoys in the Sky Survey Division, and they will not throw themselves into his camp, but they will never stumble.

That's enough.

The rest of him has to avoid suspicion as much as possible.

When he was smoking yesterday, he told Yang Guifei about it, and asked him to pass on a word to Sima Ke, and there has been more trouble in the recent period.

The crown prince will be decided.

If not, Chen Yuan will do his best to help him ascend to the throne.

This is Chen Yuan's painting cake, but Sima Ke can only eat it.

After staying in the Wu'an Hou Mansion for half an hour and telling Fu Bo a few words, Chen Yuan quietly left the Wu Anhou Mansion as he did on weekdays.

and then quietly left Shenjing City.

I don't say that no one knows, but I don't think much.

Chen Yuan walked out of the south gate of Shenjing City, went straight to the direction of Changshan Mansion, and as soon as he left the city, Chen Yuan, who had no worries, immediately walked through the sky, like a meteor across the sky.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of supernatural power similar to Huahong can't perceive anything.

"Zheng"

Chen Yuan, who was walking in the sky, instantly stopped his forward body, and looked at the position in front of him on the left suspiciously, and the sound of the killing piano poured into his ears and permeated the surroundings.

Looking at it, a woman in a white dress is plucking the strings under her, and the piano notes are interacting one after another, which not only looks solemn, but also has a sense of parting.

The woman in the white dress was wearing long hair and only a wooden hairpin on her head, which looked unusually free and easy.

The skin looked from afar like mutton fat and white jade, as if it was escaping a glimmer of light.

The eyebrows are like willow leaves, and they are also like sword eyebrows, which looks very heroic.

The bridge of the nose is high, the eyes are bright and the teeth are bright, the long strands of hair move with the wind, and the white dress on the body is also moving slowly.

Such a scene is no less than a landscape painting, which is both tranquil and beautiful.

And the appearance of the woman in the white dress was also seen by Chen Yuan at a glance, and he was a little surprised in his heart.

Because this woman is the eldest princess of the dynasty, Pingyang!

Judging by what he has done today, he should be seeing him off.

After a song, Princess Pingyang stood up, looked at the stagnant figure in the void from afar, raised her hand and bowed.

As if to say, the journey is safe.

She didn't know that Chen Yuan would leave today, but according to his movements, she could calculate it, so she waited here today, and she didn't know what she was waiting for.

But it eventually came.

It's like going to Lin'an Mansion.

Looking at each other, the atmosphere froze.

Neither Chen Yuan nor Pingyang said much, they just looked at each other calmly, and after about ten breaths, Chen Yuan bowed slightly, hugged his fists, and walked away.

Princess Pingyang stood on the mountain peak, looking south, like a wangfu stone, and did not move for a long time.

This day is the ninth year of Jingtai in the Great Jin Dynasty, June 26.

Royal Palace, Imperial Garden.

Jing Tai, who was dressed in a simple robe, held a jade slip in his hand, and looked at the contents indifferently.

There were several eunuchs and palace maids around.

In the garden, the fragrance of flowers fills the air.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Cao is here."

A young eunuch bowed and said.

"Let him in."

Jingtai put the jade slip in his hand on the stone table, but in a moment, Cao Zhengxian walked up to the emperor from the door and bowed slightly:

"Your Majesty, the old minister."

"Sit down."

Jingtai pointed to the side.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengxian sat on the emperor's side very familiarly.

"Chen Yuan is gone?"

"At this time, there is no trace of it in the capital, and I think I have left." The eyes of the Imperial Eunuch Division are all over the capital, and if they want to track down a person, even if this person's cultivation is extremely high, they can't get rid of it.

It's easy to find someone.

But if you can't find it, it can only prove two things, one is that this person has thrown off the dark pile eyeliner all over the capital, and the other is that this person has completely left the capital.

"Your Majesty, there is also a message from the old minister's hands." Cao Zhengxian smiled faintly, now that the emperor is not in a hurry or angry, he has relaxed his speech a lot.

"What's the news?"

Jingtai glanced at him.

"There is a secret pile found that during the third watch today, a plump and beautiful woman sneaked out of the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and I wanted to investigate who this person was, but because I was afraid of Chen Yuan, I didn't move in the end."

Cao Zhengxian said.

Jingtai laughed:

"You old guy is still staring at this kind of thing, Chen Yuan has never married a wife, and it is normal to have a woman who is close to her, but it seems that the rumors are true, this person is a good wife, different from ordinary people, and he is really young and romantic."

"This person may have a deep contact with Chen Yuan, if he finds her and uses this as a threat, he may be able to make Chen Yuan throw a mouse." Cao Zhengxian said very seriously.

That's a handle that doesn't count as a handle.

"What do you think of Chen Yuan's personality?" Jingtai did not answer Cao Zhengxian's question, but asked rhetorically.

Cao Zhengxian pondered for a moment and said in a low voice:

"Ruthless, resolute and ruthless, everything is based on interests, and every step of the way."

"Then do you think that a person with such a character will do bad things because of a woman?"

"What Your Majesty said is that it is the old ministers who have some"

Jingtai waved his hand: "Chen Yuan's character I have some understanding, a woman is just a woman, she will never risk her life for her, and now he has not dared to tear his face with me, this kind of small way, there is no need to mention it."

As long as Chen Yuan doesn't do a big rebellion, the following things are committed, liking a few women is nothing. ”

"Your Majesty's lesson is that the old minister remembers."

Cao Zhengxian nodded seriously.

"How's that going on?"

Jingtai asked casually.

Cao Zhengxian knew what Jingtai was asking, and said in a low voice:

"It's not clear from Lanzhou, but the latest news from Youzhou seems to be a little wrong, and it may have something to do with the remnants of the Xiang family who appeared in the north before.

As for Shuzhou, it is still impossible to draw a conclusion, there are traces of the activities of the Life Sect, there are also traces of the Heavenly Demon Palace, and "

"What else?"

"There are still some traces of demonic activities, Lu Renjia's death, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"The South is going to be unstable."

Jingtai's face was solemn.

"Yes, so many things have come together, there are indeed signs of instability in the south, it is better to transfer Chen Yuan to other places, otherwise with his character and natural potential, he may not be able to come back alive."

"This kid is lucky, he has passed so many dangerous situations before, and this time is not bad. He has no intention of marrying a wife, and his ambition is to be in the world.

I don't know if it's true, but I can satisfy him, and if he doesn't meet my requirements in a year, he must come back and get married, and tie a rope to him.

His talent is too terrifying to stay, and next time, don't say that it is Wei Guogong and Zhenguo who speak openly, even if you count the national teacher, and Wei Yanfeng,

I won't compromise anymore! ”

"Your Majesty said yes."

"However, if he really dies in the south, he must also transport his body back to the capital, and I am actually curious about what he relied on to surpass ordinary people for decades in just a few years."

Jingtai added another sentence at the end.

Cao Zhengxian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't have time to appreciate the things in it, so he had to bow his head and say:

"Yes, the old minister understands."

"It's been so long, can you find any trace of the painting saint?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the scope has been reduced by half, leaving only Shuzhong, Shunan, Shuxi and other places have not been investigated, and Wu Daozi should be within these ranges."

"I will give you another year, just like Chen Yuan, if you can't bring Wu Daozi back to the capital after a year, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Jingtai said in a condensed voice.

One year is definitely quite generous.

And his time is not running out, and if he dies for more than a year, if he can't complete his plan, the impact will be too great.

"The old minister obeys the order, and within a year, he will bring this person to His Majesty."

Cao Zhengxian's expression was solemn and his face was solemn.

"Okay, remember what you said, and go down."

"The old minister retired."

Qingzhou, Nanling Fu, Ping'an County.

The small courtyard of the Chen family, which has not been disturbed for a long time, does not look dirty, and there is not much dust, which is the credit of Wang Ping, who has been in Ping'an County in the past two years.

The brothels in the county all know his name.

Who doesn't say a word when they see it?

However, although Wang Ping's power is amazing, he has always been clear in his heart, knowing where his power comes from, even the adults in Fucheng dare not do anything to him, black and white, all because of the former half-brother Chen Yuan.

I know in my heart that I will naturally not be lazy, the Wu'an Hou Mansion is still under construction, and in addition to supervising the work for a long time, he spends a lot of his spare time on cleaning and cleaning the yard.

He knew that Brother Yuan was a nostalgic person, and even if the palace was built, it was not necessarily as important as this small courtyard.

Since there is not much you can do, you have to do your best to do it well.

has always maintained the original appearance of the small courtyard, and whoever dares to hurt a brick and tile in this courtyard will have to pay a great price.

On this day, as usual, Wang Ping cleaned the yard as usual, and after serving a stick of incense for Chen Yuan's parents and uncle, he turned around and closed the door and left.

As soon as Wang Ping walked on his front foot, the surrounding void changed, and there was a faint wave, and Xiang Qianqiu, who was wearing a black robe and somewhat similar to Chen Yuan, slowly walked out.

After looking in the small courtyard for a while, pushing the door in, a thin strand of hair fell from it, Xiang Qianqiu squinted his eyes, grabbed it, and walked into the room.

As far as the eye can see, there are three spiritual positions.

There was no name, but he knew that one of them was his.

After staring in the room for a long time, Xiang Qianqiu's gaze was always indifferent, as if nothing could arouse his interest, and after observing for a while, just as he was about to leave, he found an ordinary paintbrush on a shelf.

The corners of Xiang Qianqiu's mouth hooked up a faint sneer, dropped the paintbrush, put his head back, and quietly left the Chen family's courtyard.

When he reappeared, he was in the mountains behind the Temple of Mercy and Grace outside Ping'an County.

A green-robed monk with some vicissitudes of life sat cross-legged on the back mountain, his face was a little abnormal, as if he was in his twenties and in his thirties.

There are some vicissitudes in the eyes.

If Chen Yuan was here, he would definitely be able to find out that this person was the False Monk who gave him the Vajra Glazed Body Exercises, and it was he who gave Chen Yuan a crucial point when he was tracking down the traces of the Wusheng Sect demons.

though he received the money.

"Xiang donor."

The Void Monk looked at the void in front of him without any movement, and smiled.

"Done?"

Xiang Qianqiu walked out of the void with an expressionless face and stopped in front of him, his gaze indifferent.

"The countries of the Western Regions have begun to move, and if they move, they will inevitably drive the Lingshan behind, as long as the imperial court and the Western Lingshan are at odds, the opportunity for the Xiang donor may come."

False words smiled faintly.

"These are just small paths, not so important, the bald donkey of Lingshan is not stupid, how can he not understand the truth?"

"Hehe, Amitabha."

"You lazy monk, have you done what this seat handed over to you?"

Xiang Qianqiu looked directly at him.

The monk smiled silently and stretched out his palm.

With a cold snort, a water spirit bead emitting black light was thrown into his hand.

"The poor monk is not a subordinate of the benefactor, you and I are just trading, since it is a transaction, it is natural to speak with interests."

"Alright, let's talk about it."

"It's been done, but the poor monk is a little puzzled, why does Xiang Shi, who has always claimed to be orthodox in the world, have something to do with the demon clan in the south?"

Hypocrisy stared straight at him.

Xiang Qianqiu was silent, and also stretched out his palm, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Forget it, the poor monk doesn't ask."

Seeing that he still needed to get something, he didn't want to ask anymore.

"How many things have you taken from me over the years, but now you are reluctant to return them at all, because you were once the first person under the Lingshan Bodhisattva, the golden body of the mighty Western Regions."

Xiang Qianqiu snorted coldly.

Hypocrisy smiled:

"The dragon arhat is the past, the monk is the present, the treasure of heaven and earth is the future, since the great change of Lingshan more than 200 years ago, the poor monk is no longer the Lingshan tribesman.

Also, the poor monk is a deal with you, and he has been in Ping'an County for you for nearly 20 years, so shouldn't he take something from you? ”

"Shou? You sleep here every day, can you be considered a guard? ”

"At least, that Chen Shi is safe and secure."

"With Wu Daozi here, he won't have an accident."

"But you let me come anyway."

Xiang Qianqiu looked at him, changed the topic, and said in a deep voice:

"Follow this seat, wait until this seat is successfully restored, and appoint you as the national teacher, so that you can establish a Taoist system to inherit for eternity."

"How many people have Xiang said this?"
