Chapter 44: Leaving Beijing

Because Zhao Yun was worried about Gongsun Zhan's injury, after a short rest, he and Shangguan Haitang rushed to Jinhua overnight.

After they left, Chu Hao sat cross-legged on the bed and began a new day of cultivation.

The true qi in his body was thin, and he couldn't get through the twelve exercise routes that this divine skill had more than the Northern Pluto Divine Skill, so he could only continue to cultivate according to the thirty-six exercise routes of the Northern Pluto Divine Skill in a short period of time.

At the moment, every time the True Qi walks along the route, it will become a little stronger.

When the True Qi walks all the 36 routes of the Spiritual Gong once, it is a Zhou Tian that belongs to the Northern Shengong alone.

And this Sunday is a night.

When Chu Hao opened his eyes again, there was already sunlight shining through the wooden door screen into the Qianqing Palace.

After he put on his boots and went to the ground, he walked Ling Bo in accordance with the direction of the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, and then returned to the back of the hall to bathe and wash himself slightly out of breath.

This night, Cao Zhengchun also began to practice the Sunflower Book outside the door.

After hearing the movement in the hall at this moment, Cao Zhengchun also slowly opened his eyes outside the door.

He glanced up at the gloomy sky and couldn't help but sigh.

"It is worthy of the Great Internal Divine Skill, our family only cultivates for one night, and the strength of the internal qi will increase by one percent, at this rate, within three months, our family can also reach the innate martial arts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a 'squeak' behind him.

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly turned around, only to see that Chu Hao had already changed into his regular clothes.

"Accompany me to Changchun Palace to greet the Empress Dowager."

Chu Hao glanced up at the gloomy sky, stretched his waist and said, and walked along the eaves to the back of the hall.

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly trotted a few steps to follow.

After a while, Chu Hao came to Changchun Palace, and after he asked Li Qiushui for peace, he told his thoughts.

"Grandmother of the Emperor, grandson is preparing to leave Beijing for Jinhua."

Li Qiushui leaned lazily on the couch and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go to Jinhua?" ”

Chu Hao replied: "Last night, there was good news from the Yulin Army, three months ago, Cihang Pudu ordered the Yulin general Gongsun Zan to lead 8,000 elite cavalry to block the enemy outside the border.

After months of hard fighting, although the forbidden army won, only 3,000 of the 8,000 men and horses remained, and even Gongsun Chan was seriously wounded. Last night, Zhao Yunyu, the deputy general of the forbidden army, reported that the 3,000-feather forest army had now arrived in the shallow plain of Yuzhang in Yangzhou, and could return to Beijing in three months. ”

Li Qiushui leaned sideways on the bed, leaned forward, looked at his still soft and white arms, looked lazy, and asked unhurriedly: "Applying shallow plains?" Where is the border between Yangzhou and Yuzhou? ”

After Chu Hao nodded, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that you want to follow what the great monk of Kaishan Temple said, and prepare to let the three thousand feather forest army escort the people of various provinces to move to Yingtianfu?" ”

Chu Hao nodded lightly and said, "Although the number is a bit small, Yulin General Lu Bu also went to Zhejiang Dusi last night, and when he and Ao Bai purge the 30,000 troops stationed in Zhejiang, Sun Er will let them go to other prefectures and counties one after another." ”

Li Qiushui glanced sideways at him and asked, "In that case, why does the emperor want to leave Beijing?" ”

Chu Hao said: "In the past, Shangshu Weiqi of the Ministry of War once invited a great sage to the mansion as a guest, and he was implicated in that great sage for embezzling military salaries, and was sentenced to life imprisonment together with him. ”

"Soon after, the great sage fell ill and died in prison."

"Although he is dead, his children and nephews are fine."

Now, Zhuge Wolong, who is imprisoned in the Jinhua County Prison, is the descendant of this great sage, and he has been handed down by his books, and no one in the world knows his name. And he has another cousin named 'Zhuge Liang', who is also famous, and his grandson is going to go to Jinhua County to see them. ”

Li Qiushui was noncommittal about this, and beckoned the Tong Huang to bring two teas.

Chu Hao said: "Now that all the officials are dead, and all the wastes are waiting to be revived, treating these talented and famous people, Sun Er thinks that he can show sincerity only if he is not close. ”

Li Qiushui sat up, took a sip of tea, and slowly spoke: "Since the emperor has made preparations, let's go, but pay attention to safety on this trip." ”

Chu Hao nodded lightly and said, "Grandson will not take the Twelve Evils of Tianchi with him on this trip." There are corpses all over Jinling City, and so is the place where the prison outside the city is located, and in the long run, there is a fear that a plague will be born, so Sun Er is ready to order them to stay in Jinling to deal with these things. ”

Li Qiushui put the tea aside and said, "Let the Tonghuang go with you, and the others will take care of these trivial matters." ”

The Tong Emperor, who was waiting on the side, saw that Chu Hao did not open his mouth to refuse after her words, and immediately bowed down to receive the order.

Then Chu Hao chatted with Li Qiushui for a while, then said goodbye to her and left the palace with Cao Zhengchun and the Tonghuang sisters.

Fu Qingfeng, Fu Yuechi, and Shangguan Haitang's four maids stayed in the palace to serve Li Qiushui.

Fu Tianqiu is like a retreat, not going out of the back court all day long, studying the etiquette and music of the new dynasty.

After Chu Hao and the four of them left Beijing quickly, they saw that the sky was getting more and more gloomy, so they led their horses into the county seat when they passed through Lishui County, preparing to find an inn in the county seat to shelter from the rain.

The last time he passed through Lishui County, Chu Hao only stayed in the tea stall outside the county for a while, and did not enter the county seat.

At this time, when walking on the streets of the county seat, I saw that the streets were crowded with people, but it was very lively.

It's just that half of them are unclothed, and the rest are covered in patches.

The vendors who set up stalls on both sides of the street were also numb and sat behind their stalls in a daze.

When someone came to buy something, they said a few words, and when no one bought it, they just sat blankly and blankly.

Just as Chu Hao and the others were looking left and right in the crowd looking for the inn, there was a sudden scream from the crowd behind them.

"The fugitives are there!"

With a loud shout, the two officials with knives suddenly cut down a few passers-by who were blocking them, and rushed left and right to stand beside Chu Hao amid the wails of passers-by.

They first glanced at the immature-looking twin sisters standing behind Chu Hao with an obscene face, and then looked at the white and well-dressed Chu Hao, and greed flashed in their eyes. Then his face turned cold, and he said sharply: "Okay, you Zhang San, last time you escaped, Lao Tzu was scolded by the county master, today you don't want to run away again!" ”

After that, he raised his hand and pointed at Chu Hao with the tip of his knife, and said to another official beside him: "You go to the Chunjiang Mansion and call all the brothers, this time you must not let this Jiangyang thief escape!" ”

The passers-by who were originally surrounding had already screamed and ran to both sides.

At this time, when the voice of the official fell, only the few people who had been cut down by them before lay on the road behind them and made a wailing sound.

Chu Hao looked at the evil servant in front of him, and suddenly remembered what the old man who used to have a tea stall outside the county mentioned when he chatted with him.

Immediately, his face changed slightly, and he used his eyes to stop Cao Zhengchun, who was gloomy and ready to make a move.
