Chapter 36: His Royal Highness the Green King

So she led her horse back again, and galloped along the road to the northwest where she had gone wrong at the last fork.

But after walking for more than a hundred miles, she lost her way again. So he simply sat down and lay down on a tree and waited for passers-by to pass by.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, because she really verified the words of her junior sister Tang Wan'er when she went down the mountain.

"You don't know the way, why do you have to go down the mountain, you are not afraid of getting lost and being trafficked, so it is better to take me with you and I will go down the mountain."

Oh, yes! Now he has become a stone-throwing person asking for directions. It's a pity that I wanted to take my junior sister, but I didn't expect my junior sister to suddenly go into retreat. is really like Senior Sister Wang Ke, she is very attentive to cultivation.

At this time, she felt that the fledgling person was really pitiful.

But even so, she couldn't give up and go home.

Because she has a purpose.

Don't look at the three geniuses of Langya Pavilion, she ranks second, but there are countless disciples who actually hide their talents.

Aside from those disciples who hide their talents, Senior Sister Wang Ke presses herself everywhere, and her talent is naturally not a problem.

As for Senior Brother Deng Shilin, he is lazy by nature and is not very attentive to cultivation, and if he is really serious, it is not certain who will win or lose. Although it is ranked third, it is only third in name.

So when she came out to practice at the moment, she naturally wanted to learn more things and go back, so that her junior sister Tang Wan'er and her junior sister Wang Ke would be envious.

She was thinking about this when a ding-dong sound came from the road ahead.

She jumped down and waited on the side of the road, waiting for the convoy to approach her before asking.

Knowing that it was a caravan going to Pengzhou, she was relieved.

She thought that she didn't know the way to Pengzhou, so it was better to follow the convoy and forget it, so she simply went to Pengzhou and arrived by herself.

The convoy did not chase her, but tacitly let her follow, and sometimes when it stopped, it would bring her something to eat.

However, the convoy seemed to be pulling heavy things, stopping and stopping along the way.

She wanted to force herself on the road several times, but because she didn't know the way, she could only sigh and follow silently, and when others stopped to rest, she also stopped to eat.

All the way, seven or eight days later, I arrived in Pengzhou City, which is not thousands of kilometers away from Langya Pavilion.

She stood outside the city, finally relieved.

After entering the city, she hurriedly went to find Master's favorite troupe, just to see what the troupe Master had in mind.

But after the result came, I didn't understand or say it, and I felt that it was not as desirable as Master said.

But she can be relieved when she thinks about it, she is not a master, how can she have a master's thoughts.

She was sitting in the back row, frowning a little and wanting to get up and leave, when there was a sudden quarrel in front of her.

After inquiry, she learned that there was a sixteen-year-old girl in the troupe, who was taken by a certain son in the city a few days ago, and had to take it home to be a little wife, but the little girl did not agree and refused on the spot.

This boy may lose face, let go of the cruel words, and say that he will come again.

No, it's suddenly rushing to the door again at this moment.

Everyone looked at each other, and they were all a little angry, but because the boy was powerful and powerful, they didn't dare to step forward to stop it, but they just looked powerless.

But when Nangong Zhenyi heard about it, his anger came up.

She slapped the table and scolded "shameless". The whole person jumped high and landed on the stage.

This move startled everyone on stage.

Several of the little girls who were pulling the little girl looked over and glared at her viciously, and the warning was self-evident.

But everyone just warned, but she couldn't bear it, she pounced on it and moved directly, just a few times, and several fierce and vicious little guys had already been knocked to the ground by her, rolling and convulsions and almost losing their breath on the spot.

She walked up to the childe who was sitting below, drew her sword and put it directly on the child's neck, and said coldly. "If not, how about my son marry me?"

When the son saw that she was so violent, and he had a posture of wanting to kill, how dare he really marry her.

But he's always been domineering, and said angrily. "Do you know who my dad is? If you dare to stop me like this, I'm afraid you don't want to live! ”

He has always had the title of Pengzhou's little overlord, and he is arrogant and domineering in all evil, when did he receive such a gas.

However, Nangong Zhenyi is not used to his problem. A sword swung out, and the blade of the sword slapped him in the face, directly knocking him out.

smashed a few meters outside the stage, and even spat out a mouthful of blood.

Several of the little guys got up one after another, supported him, and left.

Don't forget to let go of your arrogance before leaving. "You wait for me."

After this experience, everyone was afraid that the little overlord would suddenly come to the door to extort money, and left early.

It's only a quarter of an hour, except for a group of actors on the stage, there is only Nangong Zhenyi left.

The little girl cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.

Nangong Zhenyi will not comfort people, for a while, she only feels that one head and two are big, and she really shouldn't be nosy.

But she still went back to their residence with the troupe.

They have already made trouble, so you can't just leave and let others clean up the aftermath!

What if the little overlord came to them again!

But what else can I do? Help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west!

That night, she sat at the table and learned the origin of the troupe.

They all fled from the northwest and suffered from the destruction of their families.

Nangong Zhenyi has never been to the northwest, so he doesn't know how cruel the Northwest War is.

She poured herself a cup of tea and went out with the tea while everyone was discussing countermeasures.

The little girl followed.

The little girl's name is Xie Wanwan, and she is a girl from the owner's family in the troupe. She, like everyone else, fled from the northwest with her dead relatives.

She doesn't have any special skills, but in order to make a living, she just rewrites her old job.

"Thank you sister for saving me."

Xie Wanwan was right, Nangong Zhenyi was seventeen this year, one year older than her. That's what she called her after hearing her age.

Nangong Zhenyi raised the water glass in his hand to her and smiled. "It's okay, I can't get used to those bullies."

"But my sister finally offended the Yang family for us, and they are afraid that they will not let my sister go."

"Then the Yang family is terrible?"

"That Yang Ji's father was an official in the court, and he was very favored by His Majesty the Emperor, so that Yang Ji also relied on this to be a powerful fortune in the imperial capital. This time, he said that he had taken a fancy to me, but in fact, Yang Ji just wanted to tie up the son of the city lord's mansion! ”

"In that case, no one can cure him?"

"In Pengzhou City, there are many complaining people, and there are many victims, but because of his father's official position, they dare not speak out."

Nangong Zhenyi was furious and almost threw the teacup on the ground. "How can this be reasonable, don't the people above know, let that Yang Jihu come."

"It's pressed very tightly, and the people below don't dare to speak up, so Xu is that this kind of thing has been suppressed."

Nangong Zhenyi drank all the tea in the cup, and the anger in his eyes burned. "I'm afraid that if he does something, he will come, and he will be beaten."

Everyone discussed to no avail, some people even felt that Xie Wanwan should be pushed out to eliminate the disaster, and some people had plans to quit the troupe, and they really didn't want to affect themselves.

Nangong Zhenyi disagreed, and sat outside with Xie Wanwan under the tree in the pavilion to enjoy the shade.

The two of them have already made up their minds that they will go to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow to seek justice, and they must expose that person's crimes.

The next day, just after dawn, before the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was opened, a burst of drumming came into the back hall.

Someone hurried back to the back hall to report the city council that was still asleep. Zhang Xiao hurriedly got up, sorted out his clothes haphazardly, and then rushed to the front hall.

When he saw a few people at the door, his face suddenly looked like the bottom of a pot.

I heard Xie Wanwan say that her son was not.

Zhang Xiao's face was extremely ugly. It's like swallowing a fly.

"Framed, this is definitely a frame, my son is an upright person, he will never do such a thing, hurry up and get out of this city lord, if you mess around again, don't blame this city lord for being ruthless."

Nangong Zhenyi sneered. "It looks like the lord of the city is going to protect his own son."

"A bunch of nonsense, in the lower body is honest and honest, how can you be framed. Just now, you said that Yang Gongzi said it. Well, the city lord sent someone to summon Yang Gongzi to confront a few people, if there is no such thing, see how a few of them end? ”

After speaking, he snorted coldly.

Not long after, Na Yang Ji was indeed taken to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

When I came, I also brought a small servant, which was really chic.

"Little girl, you are framed, you have never done such a thing before. I don't even know the son of the city lord, and I help him rob people, crazy! ”

"Obviously, you said it yourself."

"Is there one? Did you hear that? ”

"I didn't hear it, but we are all victims, and my daughter was killed by you." An old man said.

"I didn't harm your daughter, I was looking for a good husband for her, you must know that with a background like her, you don't want to marry well in your life, but your girl is very fierce, she doesn't know how to be grateful, and hanged herself."

"You brute, you don't want to die."

When Yang Ji's little guy heard this, he was immediately furious, and he was about to come forward and slap the old man. "You thief, you didn't do it with our son, that's it."

As soon as his words came to this, Zhang Xiao glared at him, so frightened that he hurriedly stopped talking and didn't dare to speak.

That Zhang Xiao waved his sleeves and said. "The city lord has found out the truth, this matter is nothing, everyone go back first!"

This remark was deliberately biased, and it should have been colluded with Yang Ji a long time ago.

Nangong Zhenyi was so angry that he punched a statue next to him, instantly flattening half of the statue's head.

Everyone turned their heads, only to see that she drew her sword and was already standing in front of Zhang Xiao, with the long sword against Zhang Xiao's neck.

Said coldly. "Within a hundred steps, it is easy for me to kill Zhang City Lord, Zhang City Lord can think about it, since he is in charge of a city's affairs, what should be done and what should not be done Zhang City Lord should know better than me. I just can't think clearly, and I'm not afraid of this blood-spattered five-step scene. ”

"Yes...... It was asserted that the girl should not do it, and she was willing to compensate the victim's family. ”

Nangong Zhenyi put away the sword. "Say, I hope you're serious."

As she spoke, she turned and retreated, but just as she was about to reach the place where she had stood before, Zhang Xiao suddenly shouted out of nowhere. "Dare to rebel, dare to assassinate the lord of this city, take it for me."

Just when Nangong Zhenyi was about to draw his sword again, there was a sudden applause on the roof not far away. "Wonderful! Wonderful! It's wonderful! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man of about twenty years old walked in, but his eyes were fixed on the whistle, and finally narrowed into a slit.

The young man was dressed in white and held a stick that looked like it was made of dark iron.

Look at the magnanimity, when it is either rich or expensive.

Those people don't know the boy, they just think that they are hairy boys from the big family.

However, that Zhang Xiao was already dead and knelt down. "Your Highness Chitose."

Hearing this, everyone was so frightened that they knelt down and shouted. "Your Highness Chitose."

Only Nangong Zhenyi didn't know what to do, so he stood straight in front of the statue, unmoved.

The young man glanced at her, then turned his head to look at Zhang Xiao and said. "Uncle Huang has promised you the position of city lord to serve the country and the people, but now, you are oppressing people with power, what is your intention?"

"Your Highness, I!"

"Your son, who is lustful by nature, but he is taking advantage of your status as the lord of the city to do nonsense, don't think that this king doesn't know the dirty things he did."

The young man threw a stack of files in front of Zhang Xiao and said. "These are all evidence of your corruption over the years, Uncle Huang has every opportunity to live frugally for Xichu Province, you are good, very luxurious. As for Yang Ji and your son, the absurdity is known to the world, but you are still so protective, I see that the official hat on your head has been worn for a long time. ”

Zhang Xiao didn't say a word, but his body trembled.

The boy said again. "I will report this matter to Uncle Huang, and the two of you can do it yourself."

The young man walked up to Xie Wanwan's father and daughter who were kneeling on the ground and several other victims, and helped them up one by one. "Are you alright? Rest assured, with me, they won't be able to jump for long. ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, we're all fine."

"It's okay, that's fine." The boy said, turning to the people around him. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you encounter such things in the future, you can come to the Qingwang Mansion to find me. If anyone who is not long-sighted dares to touch you, I will help you get justice and let him break his bones and scatter ashes. ”

Everyone was stunned, it would be good to seek justice, but to break the bones and scatter ashes sounds a bit vicious.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Several people thanked each other.

"I will report to Uncle Huang, don't worry, Uncle Huang won't care, everyone, please go back!"

The young man spoke, and departed with the crowd.

The people who were watching from the outside of the door saw that the young man had left, and there was no better play, and then they also dispersed in a hurry.

Nangong Zhenyi and a few people returned to the troupe, and suddenly turned their heads curiously and asked Xie Wanwan next to them. "That was His Royal Highness the Green King just now?"

"The old Qingwang died eight years ago, and the hereditary replacement, which is naturally the hereditary Qingwang." Xie Wanwan said.

"I heard that he likes to make friends with heroes and is a person who integrates into the market! You came early, have you heard about it? ”

"Hmmm! It's been a few months since I came to Pengzhou, and I've heard people talk about his past in private, saying that he is cynical, greedy for money, and there are several restaurants in the business! ”

"I see, I didn't expect him to help."

"I also heard others say in private that this Qingwang is a man of great wisdom, and he is very frugal in private, and the profits of those restaurants are basically all charged into the palace."

Nangong Zhenyi was not surprised, it was about the same as what he heard before he came, he thought that he should go to meet the true face of this Qingwang, but he didn't expect to be so lucky, and he actually saw it today.

In the evening, Nangong Zhenyi hurried out without eating, and went all the way in the direction of Qingwangfu.

She walked around the Qingwang Mansion, and when she found no one, she jumped in from the high wall next to her like a thief.

But he didn't really jump to the ground, but stood on the roof and slowly patrolled.

She watched from the roof for a while before she realized something was wrong.

It stands to reason that such a large palace should be heavily guarded, but I didn't expect that there was no one. It was lifeless, like a mass grave on a mountain.

It was as if someone knew she was coming, and deliberately made people retreat.

The young man, or His Royal Highness the Green King whom I saw today, sat in the pavilion, holding a golden bead hairpin in his hand, and the somewhat conspicuous iron rod was placed beside him.

He poured two cups of tea and said. "Knowing you're coming, the tea is ready."

Nangong Zhenyi lay on the roof and thought for a while, thinking that there should be no one else, and the young man should be shouting himself, so he jumped down and stood firmly in front of the pavilion.

The young man stood in the pavilion and looked at her, and raised two cups of tea from afar, one in front of him, and one in the distance to Nangong Zhenyi.
