Yindu, the Imperial Palace.

Han Zhongxuan walked around the room anxiously, and after a while, a little eunuch ran over in a hurry, and said, "My lord, Lord Lu acted without permission, and led people to sneak into Sushan Palace yesterday. ”

"This Lu Mingfeng is so bold, he doesn't even dare to listen to my words!" Han Zhongxuan's face turned pale, "At such an important juncture, if he is bad for me." ”

Just as Han Zhong was scolding, a eunuch hurriedly ran over again, "My lord, the latest news from Xiangzhou." ”

Han Zhongxuan got up instantly, grabbed the envelope, and after reading the letter, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he directly tore the letter to shreds, "Go, call Yin Hongjun, the old man has something important to arrange." ”

"Yes!" The two little eunuchs next to him hurriedly retreated.

After a while, an old man with white eyebrows in a dark purple costume walked over, and when he saw Han Zhongxuan, he arched his hand and said, "Yin Hongjun greets my lord." ”

"Elder Yin, there is something important that needs you to come here in a hurry this time." Han Zhongxuan frowned.

"Your Excellency, please." Yin Hongjun said respectfully.

Han Zhongxuan said helplessly: "Go to Xiangzhou, take over from Lu Lao and keep an eye on Ning Xiaochuan for the old man, remember, no matter what happens, you can't act rashly." ”

"Oh?" Yin Hongjun was puzzled, "Isn't Lu Lao staring there?" ”

Han Zhongxuan sneered, "He has already died in Sushan Palace, hey, he still can't hold his breath, he was deceived by Zhang Kuai, the old horseman, and he messed up, and he buried himself in Qiushan." ”

"Lu Lao is cautious, and he does things even more so, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't." Yin Hongjun frowned and said.

"As the saying goes, the more cautious a person is, the heavier his suspicions, Zhang Kuai secretly released a remark that Ning Xiaochuan already knew the truth about the theft of "Qianyuan Jue", in order to avoid exposure, Lu Lao decided to assassinate Ning Xiaochuan, how did he expect to put himself in this way." Han Zhongxuan said with an ugly face.

Yin Hongjun thought for a while and said, "This matter is a little strange, how could Ning Xiaochuan know that the "Qianyuan Jue" was stolen?" How did he get in touch with Sushan Palace? And you also know Lu Lao's strength, coupled with Yangxia's divine skills, how can he be killed easily, no matter how you think about these things, you can't figure it out. ”

"What do you mean, old man understands, do you want to say that we were calculated by Ning Xiaochuan and Sushan Palace this time?"

"If it weren't for that, Lu Lao wouldn't have died." Yin Hongjun sighed.

Han Zhongxuan nodded thoughtfully, "This Ning Xiaochuan is really fateful, the old man will arrange someone to investigate the matter of Lu Lao, Yin Lao, Ning Xiaochuan will be handed over to you." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will do their best."

After Yin Hongjun left, Han Zhongxuan sat on the side of the desk, looking at Xiangzhou on the map, his expression was extremely terrifying.

……

Not long after Yin Hongjun left, Han Zhongxuan went to see Gao Zhen and told everything that happened in Sushan Palace.

Listening to Han Zhongxuan's words, Gao Zhen's face became more and more ugly, and finally the right hand holding the file was so angry that his muscles burst out, "Once the matter of Sushan Palace spreads, it will inevitably startle the snake, which is not good news for me." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, as far as the old slave knows, everyone in Sushan Palace does not know the true identity of Lu Mingfeng and the others." Han Zhongxuan arched his hand and said.

"What about Ning Xiaochuan? Can you guarantee that he doesn't know anything either? Gao Zhen turned around and said.

In the face of Gao Zhen's questioning, Han Zhongxuan couldn't say a word, because he didn't know whether Ning Xiaochuan knew about Zhongfu.

"Okay, the matter has happened, it's useless to investigate it again, stop the actions of the martial arts sect for a while, the matter in Yangzhou has reached a critical juncture, and I don't want to make any more extraneous branches." Gao Zhen frowned and said.

"Yes, the old slave understands." Han Zhongxuan's hand retreated.

Gao Zhen stood in the study, looking at the rivers and mountains depicted on the map in front of him, his eyes were full of reluctance and attachment, such a great river and mountain, it is really nostalgic.

……

Xiangzhou, Xin'an City.

Three days after the incident in Sushan Palace, Ning Xiaochuan and the others returned to Xin'an safely, since Gu Chen and Ning Xiaochuan talked, Ning Xiaochuan looked a little silent, to be honest, so many things happened at once, he was indeed a little unexpected.

After returning to Gu Chen's mansion, Kong Zhenxuan and Nie Hongyi's injuries had almost recovered, and during this time, they were really worried, for fear that Ning Xiaochuan would have an accident, and when they saw Ning Xiaochuan and the others come back safely, their hanging hearts were completely let go.

In Ning Xiaochuan's room, there was a knock on the door, "Come in." ”

Han Zhan walked in slowly, looked at Ning Xiaochuan with a listless look, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you?" After returning from Suzan Palace, it was like a different person. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that there's been a lot going on lately, and I don't have a clue for a while." Ning Xiaochuan forcibly squeezed out a smile and spoke.

"Yes, no one can accept such a big thing happening." Han Zhan said abruptly, "Brother Ning, before I met you, someone told me this, and I never believed it. ”

"It's going to be winter soon, and it's been almost a year since I left home before I knew it." Ning Xiaochuan sighed, "Master Gu is doing a game, so that I have to enter the rivers and lakes, Yangzhou is in chaos, at this time we enter Yangzhou, it is inevitable to see the king of the East China Sea, originally thought that Yangzhou would go home after the matter, but now it seems that this has just begun." ”

"Is it because of this great Fengjiang Lake?"

"Zhongfu stretched out his hand to the rivers and lakes, and I can't just watch Dafeng cut off his backbone." Ning Xiaochuan said helplessly.

"So what are you going to do? Do you really want to be an enemy of Your Majesty? Han Zhan frowned and said, to be honest, they are just the descendants of the family, and if they really want to go against today's son, they all feel a little like a mayfly shaking a tree.

Ning Xiaochuan smiled lightly, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I believe that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

"Okay, be a brother to support you."

……

On the winter solstice, heavy snow falls.

Yu Xining put on a white fur, sat on Xiaobai's body, looked at the snow in front of her, and couldn't help laughing, "Chuxue, look." ”

The snow falls on the branches, a white glow is like a begonia, looking into the distance, everywhere the eyes go, wrapped in silver, extraordinarily enchanting.

"There is no dust in the four, the snow is flying and the clouds are rising, and the night window is like day." Gu Chen looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and couldn't help but mutter.

Qian Sheng arched his hand beside him and said: "My lord, what a poem, it is said that warm wine is sent off, and it is true when it meets snow, today is the day when Ning Gongzi leaves, and it coincides with the arrival of the first snow, and the true feelings of adults can be seen." ”

"Lord Qian is really witty." Ning Xiaochuan arched his hand beside him and said, "Regardless of whether there is such snow today, I am grateful to Lord Gu for his friendship." ”

Gu Chen didn't care whether Ning Xiaochuan was sincere or sarcastic, smiled lightly, looked at Ning Xiaochuan and said, "Starting from Xin'an, go all the way to the southwest, pass through Luozhou, and go all the way to Yangzhou, you can reach Yangzhou, this is the best way to go to Yangzhou recently, although it is farther, but it is an official road, easy to walk." ”

"Thank you, Lord Gu, my little nephew understands." Ning Xiaochuan said.

"Seriously, the official actually wants to keep you in Xiangzhou for a few more days." Gu Chen looked at Ning Xiaochuan and said leisurely.

Listening to Gu Chen's words, Ning Xiaochuan couldn't help laughing, "Master Gu, stay for a few more days, the little nephew will really not be able to leave, during this time in Xin'an, thank you for letting me know so much, you can rest assured, the little nephew will not let you down." ”

Gu Chen nodded with satisfaction, "I hope to hear your good news soon." ”

"Okay, it's not too early, please go back, it's time for the little nephew to go." Ning Xiaochuan said goodbye to Gu Chen, turned around and reined in his horse, and the fierce horse neighed, and walked forward.

The snow curtain drooped, looking at the people in the snow, Gu Chen sighed infinitely, "The young man here, the future of Dafeng will eventually be your ......"

After a while, the group left the territory of Xin'an, and as soon as they left Xin'an, Ning Xiaochuan found that on the side of the road not far away, a man in red was standing on the side of the road with an umbrella.

Because of the snow, there are few pedestrians on the road, and the man is dressed in red, which is too dazzling in the snow.

Yu Xining also noticed Pei Yu standing on the side of the road, "Ning Xiaochuan, look, isn't that Pei Yu's senior?" ”

"It's Pei Yu's senior, isn't he in Sushan Palace? Why did you come back? Han Zhan said puzzled.

Ning Xiaochuan smiled lightly, "With the strength of Pei Yu's predecessors, how can Sushan Palace keep him, let's go, let's go and greet him." ”

"Huh? Greet? Could it be that Pei Yu's predecessors want to walk with us? Han Zhan said unexpectedly.

Looking at Han Zhan's appearance, Liu En couldn't help but quip, "What's wrong?" You don't want to? ”

"Of course I do, that's one of the four masters of martial arts, with him, our safety can be guaranteed." Han Zhan said happily.

Along the way, the biggest impression for Han Zhan is that walking the rivers and lakes and being alive is the greatest ability.

The four of them rode in front of Pei Yu, under the red umbrella, Pei Yu's lips were red and his teeth were white, like a jade-faced scholar, clean and shy.

"Senior, let's go." Ning Xiaochuan said respectfully.

Pei Yu nodded to himself, jumped up sideways, and landed directly on the roof of the carriage behind him, his steps were so light that Su Su inside didn't notice that there was an extra person on the roof of the car.

I saw Pei Yu wave his right hand, the snow on the carriage dissipated instantly, and Pei Yu sat with an umbrella, "This place is good, the view is good, I'll sit here." ”

After this series of things, Ning Xiaochuan was already surprised by Pei Yu's unusual behavior, and when you saw that he was normal, it was time for him to be abnormal.

Nie Hongyi raised his head and looked at Pei Yu with a look of surprise, Pei Yu said slowly: "Drive with peace of mind, the road is slippery, safety first." ”

"Thank you for your advice." Nie Hongyi smiled slightly, and said with his head bowed.

Liu En looked at Ning Xiaochuan and shrugged his shoulders, "Ning Gongzi, when did you pull Pei Yu's predecessor into the water, he is one of the four masters of martial arts, and he is willing to be with us?" ”

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Pei Yu and smiled helplessly, "Seriously, I don't know about this, if you have to explain it, then I don't know how to explain it." ”

"If it weren't for Pei Yu's senior, Brother Ning and I would have died in Sushan Palace a long time ago, for him, you can rest assured, with his strength, you don't have to be so troublesome if you want to harm us." Han Zhan said with relief.

Ning Xiaochuan nodded undeniably, with Pei Yu's strength, killing them was as simple as pinching the ants to death.

Despite this, Ning Xiaochuan was still puzzled by Pei Yu's purpose of following them, could it really be casual?
