Then Li Zhen stopped talking, just closed his eyes and recuperated. Nalan Hongyi saw that he had his own plans about Liu Qingfeng's escape, and he didn't ask. Suddenly, there was silence in the living room, only Liu Ji, who was covered with a cotton cloth, was making a "woo-woo" struggling sound.

However, the silence did not last long, and soon there was a cacophony of voices at the door of the governor's mansion.

"Let's go in, Lord Liu. This is your house, why don't you even dare to go home? "The group is uniformly dressed in green clothes, embroidered with a bullfight, which is the brocade guard that directly belongs to His Majesty the Emperor.

The old porter at the door saw that his adults were being escorted by five flowers, and hurriedly stepped forward, "A few adults, what's the matter, my adults have always loved the people like children, honest and honest, you must have caught the wrong person." The old man's tone was tinged with trepidation, as if he really thought so.

The Jinyi guard led by him also seemed to see that the old man was not lying, he looked at Liu Qingfeng, who was tied up, and sneered: "Love the people like a son, honest and honest." Haha, Lord Liu, your acting skills are good, not only the people of Jiangnan have been deceived by you, but even the old servants in your own family for many years have been deceived, and I still have some admiration for you. ”

Say no more. hurriedly escorted Liu Qingfeng and replied to Li Zhen. Soon, Liu Qingfeng was thrown in front of Li Zhen by the escort.

Li Zhen looked at Liu Qingfeng, who was thrown on the ground, wearing ordinary people's clothes, and his shoes were stained with some mud, but they were already dry.

He said expressionlessly, "Lord Liu, do you know what we came to you for today?" ”

But Liu Qingfeng had already been frightened by Jinyiwei, and just kept shouting that he was wronged.

Li Zhen was very angry when he saw him like this. "Wronged? In the big water, you are wronged, and the hundreds of thousands of Jiangnan people whose families are ruined are not wronged? Two million taels of silver, and only 300,000 taels of silver were left for disaster relief in the end, who gave you such courage? Yes. ”

After speaking, she looked at the plaque in the middle of the living room with honesty and honesty written quickly. The eyes signaled, and the person who took the lead in Jinyiwei understood. Knock the plaque down, revealing the dark compartment inside, and then twist the dark grid, and the wall under the plaque slowly opens, revealing a dark room.

Liu Qingfeng, seeing this scene. Know that the matter has been revealed. The body softened suddenly. Li Zhen didn't even look at him, led people into the secret room, turned on the torches, and lit the lamps in the secret room. Illuminated the panorama in the secret room, there were a lot of big red boxes inside, the guards stepped forward to open them, some of them were full of silver, and some of the boxes were full of gold, Li Zhen probably judged that this place was worth at least 20 million taels of silver, Rao is Li Zhen had been prepared before. But I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw the scene in front of me.

Li Zhen had mixed feelings in his heart, on the one hand, such a huge amount of money, in this time when the treasury was empty, it could greatly relieve the pressure on the finances of Great Xia, on the other hand, it was just a small governor of Jiangnan, Liu Qingfeng could be greedy for such a huge amount of money. As for the rest of the country, the weather in the north has been dry and cold for many years. If the local officials were like Liu Qingfeng, would the people there still have a way to live?

He opened his mouth and ordered: "Inform the local government, send men, and fence this place, and no one is allowed to approach." At the same time, he sent a letter to the capital to report the situation here, so that the capital immediately sent a master to escort the money back to the capital. The subordinates should claim that it was, and a few brocade guards immediately left.

After explaining these Li Zhen, he looked at Nalan Hongyi. He said: "Mr. Nalan, the matter is very high, please also guard here, and when the capital sends someone, you will also go with you." ”

Nalan Hongyi naturally knew that this matter should not be careless, but he thought about the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before leaving. Or said, "What about you?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked me to keep you safe. ”

"I want to secretly escort Liu Qingfeng into Beijing, a little Liu Qingfeng is nothing, digging out the talent behind him is the most important thing, I will never tolerate such a great harm to the country." Li Zhen's tone was already murderous.

Nalan Hongyi heard the firmness in Li Zhen's tone, and no longer insisted.

Then, Li Zhen didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked up, and several guards around him immediately followed. When I got to the top, I saw Liu Qingfeng still lying on the ground with his eyes blank, and Liu Ji who was also tied up by five flowers beside him.

Li Zhen glanced at them with some disgust, and instructed the people on both sides: "Take them and go back to the capital immediately." ”

Then he walked outside, and several guards immediately escorted the two of them, followed them, and went outside. The old porter seemed to know that his master had committed something and had run away. Li Zhen didn't care about this.

The Jinyi guard at the door had already prepared several carriages, and the guards behind him pressed the two people into the two carriages in the middle, and Li Zhen entered the one in the front.

"Departure" With Li Zhen's order, the Jinyi Guard, who had already changed into ordinary clothes, also followed the convoy and set off for the capital.

.......

Soon, we arrived at a wooded forest, and it was late at night. Li Zhen ordered to rest in place. Several of the guards dismounted and began to set up a makeshift camp. A fire was lit and the dry food was warmed up. A soldier picked up a kettle and took a big sip. Apparently in the afternoon, we were in such a hurry that we didn't even have time to drink water.

Because of this, in just half a day, they walked the usual day's journey. Today is the thirteenth day of August of the lunar calendar, and at this rate, we will be able to set off early tomorrow morning, arrive in the capital in the evening, and have a reunion with our families for the Mid-Autumn Festival. And this time, I want to pay a lot of money for going back, and I can buy some Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for my children and wives.

Between several guards, while chatting about family life, they scolded Liu Qingfeng. A dark-skinned man ate the cake fiercely, choked a little, drank another saliva, and then said to the person next to him: "This Liu Qingfeng is really not a thing, the court made him the governor of Jiangnan, he treated the court's grace to him like this, the court gave him so much money every year, isn't it enough to spend?" ”

A guard was beside him, smiled disapprovingly and said: "Lao Liu is conscious, I see, this Jiangnan governor makes you a much stronger than Liu Qingfeng." There was something sarcastic in the words.

The man who was called Lao Liu was not angry, but said honestly: "I can't do it, I don't know a few big characters." Just be a guard, really become an official and make people laugh. ”

When several people heard this, they laughed.

Li Zhen could naturally hear the conversation of these guards outside, but Li Zhen didn't care. On the contrary, this kind of heartless conversation, although a bit out of bounds, is more respectful than the usual people who are respectful on the surface and stab in the back. It still makes people feel comfortable, Li Zhen has a hobby, he likes to feel the daily life of ordinary people in this empire, the fireworks in that kind of life are addictive.

At this time, the thin guard who had been following Li Zhen all the way from the capital gave Li Zhen a freshly heated cake. Li Zhen took the cake and said, "Tell everyone, rest in place for two hours, and then we will set off immediately." ”

"Yes." The emaciated guard immediately went down to give the order.

Although Li Zhen knew that there were many dreams at night, he also knew that he was rushing with super intensity for half a day, and there was no stop in between. Everyone is exhausted, and it is time to rest. (ps: May there be no overtime in the world) Li Zhen also felt sleepy for a while, and closed his eyes to rest.

The bright moon is a pure pine forest, and the thousand peaks are the same color. In the makeshift camp, the guards had fallen asleep, leaving only a few people on duty. At this moment, on a pine tree outside the camp, a man in a gray robe was standing on a thick branch, with a cruel grin on his face. Immediately, like a leisurely stroll, he jumped down from a tree more than ten meters high.

I saw him take out a crystal porcelain bottle from his shirt and uncork it. A puff of green smoke erupted from the bottle. went straight to the camp, and before the guards who were on vigil at this time could react, they fell straight to the cold ground.

And the gray-robed man, seeing that his poisonous gas had worked, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Walking slowly towards the camp, he first came to a carriage in the middle, and released a golden bug, and the bug crawled towards a carriage behind, which was the carriage in which Liu Ji was imprisoned.

Then he looked at the carriage in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, knocked the lock on the door down, and the door opened. Liu Qingfeng inside hadn't eaten for a day, and his hair was messy. Lying helplessly on the ground, he had completely lost the gas of the governor on weekdays. Liu Qingfeng heard the voice, looked up and saw the person in front of him, and was overjoyed.

"Lao Wang, why are you here, are you here to save me? How did you get in, forget it, let's not talk about it yet, get the master out, and get a lot of rewards when you get out. Liu Qingfeng, as if the person on the edge of the cliff had grasped the last straw.

He had lost the ability to think, and he didn't think about how the old porter, who was usually hunched at the door and couldn't even speak, came here through layers of surrounding.

And the gray-robed man, when he heard this, also smiled sadly: "Okay, master." Old slave, will you be sent to a place where there are no worries and sorrows? ”

When Liu Qingfeng heard this, because he was immersed in the joy of escaping death, he did not notice the abnormality in his words, but the hope in his eyes was even worse: "Okay, Lao Wang, take the old man away." ”

"Master, I haven't been to Elysium yet, you can go and see it for me first." The gray-robed man smirked. Then a hand knife pierced Liu Qingfeng's heart. The speed was very fast, and when Liu Qingfeng died, he still had the expression of the rest of his life on his face.

At the same time, Li Zhen was taking a nap in the carriage. A biting coldness came from the mark on his shoulder. After a while, the chill subsided. She knew that something was wrong, someone was attacking the camp. For the marks on her body, although every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the full moon rises, the biting cold always tortures her to death. But this mark also makes her invincible, and when poisoned, the mark will release cold gas, dissolve the poisonous gas, and then disperse. At this time, it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, so when she felt the cold, she thought that the onset of the imprint had been advanced. But at this time, the cold receded, and I didn't know if something was going on outside.

So she opened a box in the carriage and took out the sword that was blue and icy inside. Carefully stepping out of the carriage, and seeing the guards lying quietly on the ground, she stepped forward and probed it with her hand. I was shocked, and the guards in front of me were already out of breath.

At this moment, the gray-robed man solved Liu Qingfeng. Feel the footsteps outside and step out of the carriage. I saw Li Zhenzheng looking at him coldly. He was a little surprised, "There are people who are not afraid of my "miasma", but I underestimate you. It's not a big problem, though. It's like having your own hands."

Li Zhen was shocked in her heart, she had heard of the "miasma qi", which was the unique secret technique of Wang Kai, the "happy old man" of the Western Regions. Huanxi old man, there are several masters in the world, and he was already a master of the first product twenty years ago. The reason why he is called Huanxi Old Man comes from the practice he practiced - Huanxi Zen, which is an evil skill, through the collection of yin and yang, and the young woman* to enhance his own skills. It is rumored that after the old man has sex with him*, he will brutally kill the woman. Fifteen years ago, he came to Great Xia and did many evils.

Of course, this matter would not be tolerated, so the Great Xia court sent thousands of soldiers led by the master of Ouchi to start a great battle with him outside Jinling City, and finally after the heavy losses of the Ouchi guards, the old man Huanxi was seriously injured and fled. At that time, Great Xia sent heavy troops to search for him to no avail, and after a long time, there was no news of him on the rivers and lakes. At that time, they thought that he had died of serious injuries and was not spending manpower in pursuit, but they didn't expect him to be alive.

Although he was shocked in his heart, Li Zhen also knew that he couldn't escape. So she angrily drew her sword and stabbed at the person in front of her, and the old man was glad to see him stabbing at her, and he did not dodge, but when the sword came to her, he stretched out two fingers and clamped the sword tightly between them. Then another hand slapped Li Zhen's left shoulder. Li Zhen only felt a sharp pain, and the whole person flew out of his strength, and slammed into the big tree about ten meters away, and the huge impact knocked the big tree out of the crack, and Li Zhen spat blood from his mouth.

At this time, the old man suddenly took a deep breath and looked intoxicated. With a lewd look: "Obviously a woman, pretending to be a man, your face can deceive people, but it's a pity that your unique virgin fragrance betrayed you, little lady." ”

He immediately looked at the sword in his hand, and the excitement on his face was even worse. "Xingyue Sword, this is the matching sword that your Emperor of Great Xia gave to his favorite daughter, Princess Mingyue." The fragrant mist is wet, and the clear jade arm is cold. "You are Princess Mingyue Li Qiaoyan."

Li Zhen just looked at him coldly, and quietly took out the dagger tied to his foot with one hand, but this time it was not to break the enemy, but to commit suicide.

"I didn't expect it, I haven't opened meat for more than ten years. God is not thin on me, the first time I reappeared in the rivers and lakes, it was a famous beauty in the world, and I was still a princess, and I haven't tasted the taste of a princess yet. Don't worry, I'll be very gentle and enjoy you slowly. ”

To the surprise of the old man Huanxi, Li Zhen did not show the frightened look of the previous women, but just looked at him with hatred, but he was more excited, this kind of woman is more interesting. Taking advantage of his distraction, Li Zhen ignored the serious injury, quickly pulled out the dagger with his right hand and stabbed it fiercely at his jade neck, but the old man Huanxi was a master after all. It's just a moment. He came to Li Zhen and took her hand holding the dagger.

"Don't be so anxious, after I have enjoyed that earthly bliss with you, I will send you to Elysium." The happy old man smiled. But this smile is undoubtedly a devil's smile in Li Zhen's eyes.

Li Zhen's eyes widened and said, "Even if you reach Biluo Yellow Spring, I will not let you go if I turn into a ghost." ”

"Okay, remember my face, don't forget me when you get there, little beauty." The old man laughed lewdly.

Then, he threw aside the dagger in Li Zhen's hand, ripped off Li Zhen's bun, and the green silk fell.

The beauty of the woman, Rao is happy old man can't help but lose his mind, just when he wants to take a step closer.

A voice came from behind him, "When a person dies, it's hard to become a ghost." If you die, you can't come back, so you still have to live well. ”

The old man was shocked that he hadn't even noticed the person behind him. Looking back, a man dressed in black stood calmly behind and looked here, but his eyes seemed to be on the woman, and he didn't even look at himself.

Although he felt that he was despised, the old man Huanxi was cautious by nature, and he was not sure of the strength of the person in front of him, so he didn't make a rash move, and said: "Friend, I am the old man Huanxi on the rivers and lakes, you should have heard of me, give me a face, and we can become friends in the future." ”

Li Chenyu ignored him, looked at Li Zhen and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little unused to it lately, I'm always sleepy, I should have come early." ”

Li Zhen looked at Li Chenyu, and somehow, knowing that the old man Huanxi was a real first-class master, it could be seen that he was not afraid at all in his heart. But she still reminded Li Chenyu with some worry, "Be careful, this person is very strong." ”

The happy old man next to him was also a little annoyed when he saw that the person in front of him didn't take him seriously. "No matter who you are, it is unforgivable to ignore me like this."

He made a bold move, and slapped a merciful palm towards Li Chenyu. Li Chenyu seemed to be stunned and did not dodge

"Bang", the palm of the hand fell firmly on Li Chenyu's shoulder. The sound of bones shattering followed, and Li Zhen felt a chill in his heart, closing his eyes and not being able to bear to look at it again. Soon there was a scream, but the voice came from the happy old man, and Li Zhen hurriedly opened his eyes. The old man was found lying on the ground with a painful face.

"He made the first move, you see." Li Chenyu looked innocent.

Li Zhen laughed dumbly. Immediately, Li Chenyu slowly put his hand on the head of the old man Huanxi, the old man didn't know that the strength of the person in front of him was far more than his own, how could he still have the previous majesty at this time, but he kept begging for mercy, Li Chenyu's hand passed by with a true qi, and the old man stopped begging for mercy and fell straight to the ground.

"I broke his heart, thinking that you are a girl, you should not like blood." Jun Mo Xi said to Li Zhen.

Li Zhenyan smiled and looked at Jun Mo Xi with her autumn eyes: "Did you know that I was a woman the first time we met?" ”

"Well, as a man, you're a little too good-looking." Li Chenyu said seriously.

Li Zhen heard his answer, and a trace of blush flashed across his face.

She looked at Jun Mo and said shyly: "You are also very good-looking." ”
