Ah Xiu's advice made Yongle very attentive, she was not a person who was interested in the swords of the rivers and lakes, and everything she had learned since she was born and grew up to the present was never in preparation for the future adventures in the rivers and lakes.

Yongle likes to listen to the stories of the rivers and lakes, but she is not interested in walking the rivers and lakes by herself, she practices martial arts, but because she doesn't want Lu Hanjiang to use this as an excuse not to take her out to play.

And this time, after getting the jade ring from Ah Xiuna, Yongle told Lu Hanjiang as soon as possible, wanting the other party to help see what this was.

For Aunt Axiu, Yongle has always admired her, whether it is the other party's character or martial arts, so she is very curious about the jade ring that Aunt Axiu told her to take.

After listening to Yongle's words, Lu Hanjiang took the ring from her hand and took a good look, and then said: "This is a token of the Emei faction, it seems that your Aunt Ah Xiu used to be quite good, and she was still a famous disciple." ”

Yongle said in surprise: "You even know this? Have you seen all the tokens of those sects on the rivers and lakes? ”

There is surprise in the little princess's words, and there is also unconcealable admiration, which is an inexplicable admiration of a layman for an insider, which translates to an unclear feeling.

"Well, you can't say that, this is a discussion of the main scoring situation."

As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders, and then showed the inner wall of the ring to Yongle, with the word Emei clearly engraved on it, Lu Hanjiang said slowly: "If you want to say the token of the Emei faction, I definitely don't recognize it, but I recognize these two words." ”

Yongle blinked blankly, then her little face turned red, she lowered her head and hammered Lu Hanjiang hard, and then snatched back the ring and fled like a wind, thinking about Lu Hanjiang's expression of not smiling, she felt as if she was being treated as a fool.

Lu Hanjiang didn't take the little girl's shame or anything to heart, he thought about the ring, and recalled what Wu Qiming once said, Emei has innate deficiencies compared to Qingcheng.

Lu Hanjiang sat by the candlelight, looking at the dancing flames behind the lampshade, thoughtful.

......

Time passed in a hurry, and it was the end of the first month in a blink of an eye, and Lu Hanjiang was rarely diligent, this time he arranged all the affairs in the yamen before he began to prepare for leaving Beijing.

The capital is not as good as the rivers and lakes, in addition to the Jinyi Guard, there are also dense eyeliners of all forces, and the Jinyi Guard commander disappears, although everyone may not be able to find out the whereabouts of Lord Lu, but Lord Lu is not in the capital, this point is still easy to distinguish.

Instead of letting everyone be frightened, panicking all day long, and then making something outrageous about writing a suicide note before going to the court to smear Jinyiwei, he might as well be direct, so that everyone can rest assured, and Jinyiwei's yamen can live in peace.

So this time, Lu Hanjiang didn't plan to play and suddenly disappeared, he left by the official road.

When he was more than ten miles away from Beijing, Lu Hanjiang ordered to go down, let the carriage speed up, and shake off the eyeliner behind him.

In fact, he didn't need to order this, he was followed by spies from all forces, they just confirmed whether Lu Hanjiang's departure from Beijing was true, as for the carriage to follow Jinyiwei, they didn't have the courage yet.

The capital is actually a very annoying place, and after leaving Beijing, even Yongle, who is not interested in the rivers and lakes, has a lot of smiles on his face.

This time, Lu Hanjiang and his entourage had four people, in addition to Shang Luo and Yongle, he also grabbed a strong man from the Jinyi Wei to be responsible for driving the carriage, and it was Cui Yixiao, the deputy Qianhu.

Of course, secretly, Huangfu Xiaoyuan has already taken the first step to go to Jiangnan with people, and at present, the two of them are bright and dark, and it is more convenient to do things.

Compared with the previous trips, Lu Hanjiang had a little snack on this trip, and he didn't stay too much time on the road, he planned to go all the way down to Jiangnan, first find out about Xun Yingge, and then talk about other things.

When Shang Luo asked him where he was going, he thought about it for a while, didn't mention the business, but took out the map he was carrying with him and asked the other party to pick a place.

Shang Luo found at a glance that this map was very unusual, and there was a fundamental difference from the maps sold on the market, except for the mountains and rivers, this map marked the most not the states and counties in the world, but the various rivers and lakes entrenched in the world.

In other words, this is a map that belongs to the rivers and lakes.

Shang Luo's eyes lit up, but she quickly frowned, she pointed to the blacked-out places on the map and asked, "Xiao Lu, why are these places blacked out?" ”

There are places on this map that have been painted in black ink into small black patches, which are out of place and make people look very awkward.

"This," Lu Hanjiang glanced at Yongle, who was also in high spirits beside him, and explained: "Traveling around the rivers and lakes, there is definitely no need to go to the places you have been to, so in case you forget it at the time, make a mark first." ”

Yongle was stunned, nodded slightly, Shang Luo glanced at the blackened Mount Tai and Hengshan, and then at the South Shaolin that had not yet been painted, pursed his lips slightly, and muttered: "It's obvious that you have been cleaned up, so you don't need to go a second time." ”

Lu Hanjiang's old face darkened, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out to pull Shang Luo's face, but this girl pulled Yongle over and blocked her in front of her, and the little princess was stunned for a moment, and immediately took on the responsibility of the protector, so that the black claws had no way to start.

The two girls had a lot of fun, so that the Great Demon King Lu stretched out his hand several times in vain, and several people played so much, and the originally long and boring journey slowly became interesting.

The time spent on the road was hurriedly carried by laughter, and the group did not encounter other troubles on the way, and soon came to Jiangnan.

Lu Hanjiang found an inn to live in, and then asked passers-by for the address of Meihua Academy, and came to the door with two girls the next day.

It is worth mentioning that although the disciples of Meihua Academy in Jiangnan were forced to leave under the strong force of the beggar gang, the houses of the academy have not been moved.

The action of the beggar gang only made Qi Yunzhou feel threatened, so he quickly took the academy disciples away from the capital, but such a large academy would definitely not be able to take it away, so he could only stay.

But it's not a big problem, it's already an accident that the beggar gang can force people away, although they are Jianghu rangers, but after all, they bear the name of the righteous faction, and it is impossible for people to rob it when they are still alive, so this academy is just a little depressed now that no one takes care of it.

Before Lu Hanjiang and the others came to Meihua Academy, they saw that the gate was closed, and on the steps of the door, there was an old man with white hair who was clearing the snow.

Lu Hanjiang stepped forward and asked, "This old man, I have been waiting for the name of Meihua Academy for a long time, and I have come from afar, I wonder if I can please report it?" ”

The old man stopped his movements, raised his head, a pair of cloudy old eyes could not distinguish between light and darkness, he said: "The academy has moved away from this place, this is just an empty courtyard, if you are interested, please move to the Jingshi." ”

Lu Hanjiang looked at the broom in his hand and asked, "Since it is an empty courtyard, why does the old man still have to clean it?" ”

The old man shook his head, just lowered his head to sweep the snow, and did not answer Lu Hanjiang's question again.
