Spring and sunshine are beautiful, and they warm people's hearts.

Wudang Lotus Lake, Zhang Xingrui stood by the lake, looked at the flat lake in front of him, and said while brushing his beard, "Since you are here, why don't you show up for a long time." ”

As soon as the words fell, a man in a red shirt slowly appeared on the boulder behind him, and he didn't need to think much to know that this person was Pei Yu.

Pei Yu shook his fan and said indifferently, "I haven't seen you for fifty years, and you're getting old." ”

"It is not surprising that poor Dao is just an ordinary person in the thousands of earthly worlds, and naturally ages with the passage of time." Zhang Xingrui continued to stare at the surface of the lake and muttered.

Pei Yu jumped over, stood beside Zhang Xingrui with a folding fan in his hand, looked at the Lianhu Lake in front of him, and took a deep breath, "You Taoist priests seem to be pretending to be ghosts on weekdays, but I didn't expect that you are really accurate in divination." ”

"Hahaha, the will of heaven is hard to disobey, everything in the world has its fixed number, after 50 years of retreat, it is time for the heart knot." Zhang Xingrui said with a smile.

Pei Yu tinkered with the fan and said, "Let's talk about it, but if you let Ning Xiaochuan go down the mountain, will you be reckless, such a big thing happened in Suzhou, and his current situation is already very bad." ”

"Since you know this, why don't you go with him and come here to talk to Poor Dao?" Zhang Xingrui smiled lightly, but what was revealed in his tone was a feeling of knowingly asking.

Pei Yu shook his head slightly, "It's better for young people to have more experience, in case I leave in the future, he won't be bullied." ”

"Hahaha, we are no longer young, and today's Dafeng is not the Dabong of fifty years ago." Zhang Xingrui looked at the lotus lake in front of him and said thoughtfully, "I don't know if I can see the beautiful scenery of the three thousand lotus blossoms again in my lifetime, if I can see it, it will be worthy of it." ”

The two stood by the lotus lake, watching from sunrise to sunset, just watching quietly and watching......

But in fact, both of them are more than 100 years old, even if they cultivate to the heavens, they will not escape life, old age, sickness and death, and the Taoist seeks immortality, but after all, he cannot live forever.

……

Yindu, the Imperial Palace.

In the study, Gao Zhen looked at the letter sent by Han Zhongxuan, and frowned after reading it, "Princess Miaojiang? Lord Han, what's going on? ”

"This matter is that the old slave has not told you, it is the old slave who was negligent, the situation in Yangzhou was tight at that time, and the old slave made an initiative to let Li Renli take people to Yangzhou, and Princess Miaojiang ...... Only...... Just ......" Han Zhongxuan said with his head down, and at the end of the day, his voice became quieter and quieter.

"Lord Han, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, why didn't you tell me about this matter earlier, if this is a big thing that spoils me, can you afford this responsibility?" Gao Zhen looked at Han Zhongxuan with an extremely unhappy expression, his face was extremely pale.

Han Zhongxuan hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty is angry, it's the old slave's fault, the old slave is just thinking about a child, it's not enough to make things happen, and the situation was urgent at that time, and the old slave was also helpless." ”

Gao Zhen looked at Han Zhongxuan coldly, to be honest, something has happened, and it will be useless to accuse again.

He shook his head helplessly, "Get up, the matter has come to this, don't take it as an example, if you have something to hide from me, don't blame me for not thinking about it, but Miao Jiang's affairs have been going on for so long, why did you only receive the information about Princess Miao Jiang now, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"Your Majesty, this piece was sent urgently by Jingzhou Mu Liu Sheng for 800 miles, according to the old slave's opinion, this matter is no accident, the road from Shuzhou to Jingzhou is long, it is impossible for the little princess of Miao Jiang to arrive in Jingzhou directly from Shuzhou, during which either the identity is too well hidden and has not been discovered, or it seems that someone deliberately concealed it." Han Zhongxuan said.

Speaking of this, Gao Zhen suddenly got up and said with a deep brow, "These state pastors, all of them say that they are loyal to me, but there are not many people who can be truly loyal to me like Liu Sheng." ”

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, the Red Flame Blood Sacrifice that has been in seclusion in the rivers and lakes for fifty years - Pei Yu came out of the mountain again, and he also became Ning Xiaochuan's guard, when he was in Guangling, if it wasn't for Pei Yu, Ning Xiaochuan would have died." Han Zhongxuan said with a gloomy face.

"This Ning Xiaochuan really has some skills." For Ning Xiaochuan, Gao Zhen has never been so sad, on the one hand, it is the talent that Ning Xiaochuan continues to show, and on the other hand, it is the recruitment of the Ning family by the crown prince Gao Yuan.

If the Ning family is really dedicated to Dafeng, then Dafeng will definitely regain its glory, but if the Ning family has a little bit of disobedience, who can stop it today?

Han Zhongxuan seemed to see Gao Zhen's worries, and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Ning Xiaochuan is not in Yindu now, we can't move him, but Ning Xiaochuan will come back sooner or later, as long as he returns to Yindu, then his life and death will be in your hands?" ”

Gao Zhen nodded thoughtfully, it is true, otherwise Ning Xiaochuan would not have fled from Yindu.

"I understand what you mean, let's talk about Ning Xiaochuan's affairs later, give Liu Sheng a decree, let him quickly take down Princess Miaojiang, and end the war in Shu in one fell swoop."

"Yes!"

Han Zhongxuan retreated.

……

Jingzhou, Hanjiang City, Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

Zhou Mu Liu Sheng looked at the holy decree in his hand and bowed slightly, "Let Lord Wang do it, try to take down this person in Wuyi City, so as not to spread the rumors that it will be unfavorable to us." ”

"Yes." The official behind him immediately retreated.

At this time, in Wuyi City, Ning Xiaochuan took Zhang Qian'an and Yu Xining to wander around the city, because of the time, they decided to spend one night in Wuyi City first, and then set off south to Wuling.

In the inn, the three of them were already hungry, and as soon as they entered the door, Ning Xiaochuan shouted, "Xiao Er, take all your delicious food, be fast." ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, it'll be right away." After hearing this, Xiao Er's happy mouth couldn't close together, and he hurriedly beckoned Ning Xiaochuan and the three of them to take a seat.

After taking a seat, Ning Xiaochuan drank a cup of tea and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Don't say, there is indeed a long way to go from here to Wuling, if there is no boat, we will have to get to Wuling in at least three days." ”

"The territory of the three cities of Xianghan is mountainous, the mountain roads are rugged, and it is not easy to walk, but the shipping is particularly developed, and we will go south from the Xiangjiang River tomorrow and arrive in Wuling in less than a day." Zhang Qian'an spoke, and then took a deep breath, "I hope Miss Zheng can hold us up." ”

"Now Miss Zheng's situation is critical, we have to make a plan early, the Du family is a Jiangxia family after all, if we want to rescue Miss Zheng from the Du family, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." Ning Xiaochuan said solemnly.

Ning Xiaochuan's worries are reasonable, the Du family started as a businessman, and there are countless martial arts masters hired in the family, who knows if there will be a god master, and it is indeed more dangerous to rush in to save people.

Yu Xining also said beside him, "Yes, Daochang Zhang, we have to find a way." ”

"This ......" Zhang Qian'an was a little confused, let a Taoist priest who has been cultivating and reciting scriptures since childhood think of a good way to deal with the big family, this is indeed a little difficult, Ning Xiaochuan saw Zhang Jian'an's embarrassed look, and patted him on the shoulder, "Forget it, let's eat first, it's not difficult for you." ”

"I'm really sorry, I don't have any experience in this area......" Zhang Qian'an smiled, Ning Xiaochuan was really a little helpless, and he didn't know where Zhang Xingrui got the confidence to let Zhang Jian'an go to Wuling.

After thinking about it, if Zhang Qian'an was really the kind of person who had constant scheming, he would not have suffered such a big loss in Dufu.

"Food, here......" During the discussion of several people, Xiao Er walked up with countless delicacies, Ning Xiaochuan, who had eaten too much Wudang coarse tea and light rice in the past few days, had already been a little greedy, and he only swallowed saliva for a while when he looked at the big fish and meat on the table.

Halfway through the meal, Wuyi City, which was originally calm, suddenly became nervous, and a large number of officials suddenly appeared on the street, followed by countless Jingzhou troops wearing armor.

The people on the streets avoided one after another, and the vendors gathered together to whisper, all wondering if something was wrong in Wuyi City?

Ning Xiaochuan, who was eating, looked at the army outside and hurriedly rushed over, and was very surprised, "Has something happened to Wuyi City recently?" ”

"Probably not." Zhang Qian'an was also very surprised.

However, Ning Xiaochuan, they only saw the army, but they didn't see the man in charge.

Leading a group of officials and troops was a man known as Lord Wang, who was named Wang Chen, the first person under Liu Sheng's command.

Although it is just a small Sima of the other army, the official position is not big, but he directly obeys Liu Sheng's orders, and he also has the power to transfer the army and the government.

Coupled with Wang Chen's profound martial arts, both Jingzhou officialdom and the army have extremely high prestige, and have the reputation of being the first master in Jingzhou.

At this time, Wang Chen received an order from Liu Sheng, who was far away in the Han River, asking him to directly arrest Princess Miaojiang and try to keep her alive as much as possible.

Sanli didn't know about this, and took advantage of the fact that it was not too late, and was still strolling on the street, constantly asking passers-by about the whereabouts of Liao Chongyun.

Walking and walking, Shenli suddenly looked at the vendors around her packing up their things, and looked behind her with a frightened face, and then left in a hurry, Shenli walked on the street and was very surprised, "What's the matter, why are these people gone." ”

Shen Li turned around with a blank face, and saw a big man with a stubble on his face, a group of officials, and even the Jingzhou army with weapons in hand.

Wang Chen stared at Sanli indifferently, and asked a playful question, "Girl, are you the princess of the Miao Jiang clan?" ”

Shen Li blinked his eyes and nodded, "I am, what's wrong?" Any questions? ”

Wang Chen sneered and waved his hand, "Come on, take it!" ”

Looking at the surrounding officials, Shenli shouted in a panic, "Hey, what are you doing here, I didn't break the law, why are you arresting me?" ”

"If you appear here, it's a big mistake, take it." Wang Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly said that he wanted to take down the ginseng.

Just as the officials next to him were about to use the killing stick to take down Shenli, Shenli turned around suddenly, and the purple true qi overflowed instantly, and those officials didn't have time to dodge, they directly hit the true qi, and the moment they touched the true qi, blisters directly appeared on the faces and hands of those officials, and the skin began to become red, and even festered, followed by one wail after another.

Shen Li's right hand was covered with purple true qi, and he looked at Wang Chen very proudly, "Don't offend our Miaojiang women!" ”
