Tao Hongjing hid in the dense forest, and when he saw that no one was chasing him, he was a little relieved. Thinking that he robbed the prison, Liu Guangshi didn't catch himself, and he would use criminal punishment for his father, Tao Hongjing felt remorseful in his heart.

After returning home, the sky was already bright, he changed his clothes, and then went to the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion to visit, but his status was low, and he didn't even see the corner of Liu Bing's clothes, and he handed the post three times a day, and he would be stopped and ridiculed by the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion every time.

"Since my father asked me to come to Liu Shangshu, there must be hope." Tao Hongjing comforted himself like this in his heart.

The next day, the wind was light and clear. Tao Hongjing came to the door of Shangshu Mansion again, but this time, even if others persuaded him repeatedly, he refused to move his footsteps. The housekeeper thought that there was a distinguished guest coming to the door today, so he called a few strong men in the house to drive them away.

After a while, a noble carriage came and stopped at the gate of Shangshu Mansion. There was a girl in a pink dress sitting in the car, and a boy's little head appeared behind the girl, it was Liu Zhen'er, the princess of Jian'an, and her younger brother Liu Zhun.

At the back of the convoy, three young men with lofty spirits have also turned over and dismounted, namely Chu Xuan, the younger brother of Chu Yuan, the right servant of Shangshu, Xie Hao, the son of the Xie family of Chen County, and Jiang Yi, who is also a royal nobleman. These three sons are all young ladies of the Southern Dynasty and have attracted the attention of the imperial court.

Liu Zhen'er saw Tao Hongjing, who was pale, and stepped forward to ask, "Why do you look like this?" ”

Tao Hongjing and his party remembered that Liu Zhen'er should be the identity of the noble daughter of the palace, and even made a salute, "If you are in trouble at home, please help the young lady and save my father's life!" ”

Looking at the elegant son who had met in the past and was anxiously standing outside the mansion waiting to be introduced, she patiently listened to Tao Hongjing's eloquent words, listening and thinking, the pupils of the girl Huijie turned, and she already had an idea in her heart.

They came to Liu Bing's mansion today, it was to find Liu Bing's son Liu Yu, Qingguang Langlang, and visit Jianchu Temple together, Liu Zhener is ready to take this opportunity to bring Tao Hongjing into the mansion together.

"Tao Gongzi doesn't have to worry, you follow us, I have my own way." Liu Zhen'er said a little playfully, Tao Hongjing has a lot of gratitude hidden inside, but because of the large number of people, he can't express it. I had to thank Miss Guo for her reinvention grace.

"Temple...... Miss, you are the heart of a bodhisattva, why bother with these mundane things. Chu Xuan originally wanted to be called His Royal Highness, but after thinking about it, he hurriedly changed his words, shook the pu fan lightly, and was a little dissatisfied with Tao Hongjing and other criminals asking for the princess's door.

Although Tao Hongjing looks elegant, he has a Taoist aura around his body, and he has his own breeze and jade bones, which makes Liu Zhener's eyes attracted from time to time. It can be seen that he is dressed plainly, and his youthful spirit has also been hit and consumed by a series of changes, with a state of vicissitudes, Chu Xuan is unruly by nature, and he is most disgusted with the gentleman to be low and small, at this time, seeing Tao Hongjing so unbearable, he looked down on him a little in his heart.

Liu Zhen'er was not annoyed, and explained: "Chu Gongzi, Tao Gongzi and I have also had a relationship, and now his family is in trouble, so I should do my best to help." ”

The girl smiled, her eyebrows were shallow, the light and shadow were sparse, the color of the world was like dust, Tao Hongjing's heart swelled with emotion, and the friendship of sending charcoal in the snow became more and more precious.

Chu Xuan didn't want to say anything after hearing this, flicked his sleeves, and stepped into the threshold of Shangshu Mansion in two steps.

The hairpin is in the world, the door is noble, and the Liu family has the prominent momentum of going to the sky. The mansion is spacious and gorgeous, the carved beams and paintings are splendid, walk to the front of the hall, the four corners on the eaves fly high, like the eagle that spreads its wings and wants to fly to the front of the hall.

Several young talents seem to be because they often come, so they don't need a small servant to guide the way, and they go to the courtyard of the Liu family's son, and Liu Zhener takes Tao Hongjing to meet the head of the family, Liu Bing.

Sandalwood is swirling, and the delicate flowers with early morning dew are inserted in the bottle to add a bit of elegance, and the furnishings of the home and utensils are elegant, and Liu Bingzheng is practicing calligraphy in the study.

After the servant reported, Liu Bing came to the door of the study with hurried steps to welcome Liu Zhen'er in, "...... the palace" Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhen'er interrupted him, "Lord Liu." She blinked, meaning something, Liu Bing saw this situation, understood it, and hurriedly changed her tone and smiled, "Miss Gui'an, please come in." He leaned sideways and led the girl and the slightly cramped teenager who followed behind her into the house.

Liu Zhen'er sat down in the main seat, Tao Hongjingyuan only felt that the identity of the young lady was extraordinary, and he never thought that it was really the body of the county lord of the golden branches and jade leaves. She explained Tao Hongjing's identity in a few words, and Tao Hongjing respectfully bowed to Liu Shangshu, explaining that his father was in prison and begging Liu Bingxiang to help.

Liu Bing took a sip of the fine Junshan silver needle tea, did not speak, looked at Her Royal Highness the princess on the throne, and quietly looked at the Tao family, who was already famous, and thought that in this later life, he could actually get into the blue eyes of the princess.

The height shown on the leaky engraved arrow with the pot of water gradually became higher, and Liu Zhen'er coughed lightly, looked at Liu Shangshu, and waited for his next step.

Liu Bing had a smile like a spring breeze on his face, and secretly sighed in his heart for his son's indisputability, waved his hand to respond to the matter, and promised Tao Hongjing to intercede for his father in front of the saint. Tao Hongjing was grateful again, and there were tears in his eyes when he looked at the girl.

After a short time, the young people gathered together, and after studying some poetry and calligraphy in front of Liu Bing, the group wanted to go to Jianchu Temple to play and relax. At the invitation of Liu Zhen'er, although Tao Hongjing had no intention of playing, he also gladly accompanied.

"There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain." The ancient temple is a fresh atmosphere, the main entrance is full of incense, the Buddha statue with kind eyebrows and good eyes looks down on all living beings, and the good men and women worship the Buddha devoutly. The sound of the Buddha is lingering, the bells are far away, the tree of life under the Bodhi tree is evergreen, and the glazed pagoda that looks like a golden wheel towering over the clouds stands. A few people traveled to the mountains and rivers, chanted poems, talked about wine, so happy, contacted, a few people found that Tao Hongjing actually had a bit of real talent, his family background is not high but he is very literate, and his mustard has also been dispelled, Xie Hao is talking to him about poetry and songs, both of them are people who love landscapes, and at the end of the day, inspire each other, and have a sense of sympathy.

In the mountain behind the Jianchu Temple, the northern Xiuzhen family, Murong Zheng, the second son of the Murong family, is searching for the whereabouts of the magic beads around the temple with the secret guards.

Since the magic bead in the Asoka Temple briefly awakened more than ten years ago, monks from all walks of life have begun to search for it frantically, hoping to obtain the magic bead and refine it to make their skills to the next level. It's just that since that day, the magic bead has fallen into a deep sleep again, and the various sects have been unable to perceive the spiritual power of the magic bead and have lost clues.

The magic bead has always been regarded as a holy relic by the five major cultivation families in the north, and the Murong family will not let go of the opportunity to go south to find the whereabouts of the magic bead, taking advantage of this cooperation with the King of Guiyang, wanting to kill three birds with one stone. However, over the years, although countless monks have been sent to follow suit, they only vaguely heard that the magic bead was suppressed in a Buddhist temple of the Southern Dynasty, and the long-term action has caused the jealousy and suppression of the Northern Wei court, and the hatred between the two great families of the Murong family and the Tuoba family has also accumulated more and more.

"Report to the owner, there is nothing to be found in the back mountain." The man in black respectfully knelt down on one knee in front of Murong Zheng.

There are many temples in the Southern Dynasty, Murong Zheng has been here for more than a few months, but he still has nothing to gain, his face is pale, and his tone is extremely cold, "Have you searched the front door of Jianchu Temple?" He played with the green jade wrench on his thumb and asked coldly.

Since the eldest brother was seriously ill, most of the people of insight in the family have been recruited by themselves, and the succession to the position of head of the family is already just around the corner. This time, he couldn't return in vain, his subordinates had seen Murong Zheng's viciousness, their bodies shook their heads, and they explained: "Lord, there are many people at the front door, and they act rashly for fear of inconvenience. Murong Zheng snorted coldly and walked towards the front door.

It was almost dusk, Xie Hao and a few people were having fun, Liu Zhener was worried that he would not be able to catch up with the curfew in the palace, so he was ready to say goodbye and return home, today he inherited Liu Zhener's favor, Tao Hongjing offered to send Liu Zhener and his younger brother back to the house, the young man's face was thin red when he spoke, Liu Zhener only found it interesting, but he concealed his true identity, and let the young man send him back to Jian'an Palace.

Wutong Xiao Xiao, Murong Zheng and Tao Hongjing passed by, and not far away, the magic bead in Murong Zheng's hand suddenly lit up with a dark cyan light, looking at the figure of the young man in Tsing Yi, Murong Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately gathered his subordinates, hiding his figure and following behind the luxurious carriage.

Walking to a desolate place, sparsely populated, Murong Zheng's hand turned over, and his eyes signaled to move. The black figure flew by, and the sweaty BMW was frightened, pouted its hooves, and shouted at the sky. The car fell backwards, and several people sitting in the carriage rolled in a mess.

Murong Zheng stood on top of the canopy of the carriage, and suddenly conjured a yin and yang blade in his hand, aimed at the figure in the car, and slashed down, Liu Zhen'er was startled by the sudden sharp blade, hugged his younger brother and screamed.

Tao Hongjing Kankan held the fatal knife with his right hand, dripping with blood, and then grabbed the reins of the carriage with his left hand, and used the internal force to stabilize the car, at this time, Murong Zheng's five fingers turned into claws, and he grabbed Tao Hongjing's heart suddenly, no matter how Tao Hongjing gathered qi and turned the sword, he couldn't resist it in the end, and the carriage of the carriage had already been torn apart under the fierce fight.

Just when Tao Hongjing was waiting to die, there was a sound of "sigh", as if the guqin that had been silent for a hundred years played Qingshang again, the strings were warm, the rhyme was ancient, and the rich aftersound actually shook Murong Zheng's chest, and he almost fell off the carriage.

Xiao Ziliang, who was appointed as the official inspector and guard, sat in the carriage not far away, stroking the guqin, and the sound of the qin seemed to be gurgling, but it was fatal. Beside him, his younger brother Xiao Yan, carrying a sword box, his starry eyes were soothing, and his aura was lofty, and Murong Zheng's subordinates quickly surrounded him, and the two sides formed a confrontation.

"Your Excellency, please don't meddle in your affairs." Murong Zheng's face condensed and he spoke, the other party's strength was unfathomable, and it might even be above him, in order to avoid extraneous branches, he intended to test the other party's purpose.

"Nosy? Do you know that the person you kidnapped is the prince and princess of the current dynasty, and they should be punished for their crimes. Xiao Ziliang held down the strings and looked at Murong Zheng as well.

Murong Zheng was shocked, worried that he would expose the details, and it would be difficult to continue to fight here, so he scolded in his heart, this son was actually by the side of the royal family of the Southern Dynasty, and he roughly wrote down Tao Hongjing's appearance in his heart, and waved his hand, "Withdraw!" Then he flew into the distance.

Xiao Ziliang didn't want to be entangled with him, he didn't bring too many people with him on this trip, and he didn't want to act rashly when he didn't know the details of his opponent, so as not to deceive. He ordered Xiao Yan to step forward to pick up Liu Zhen'er and Liu Zhun, the delicate girl was already full of tears, Tao Hongjing heard Fang Cai's conversation, and was shocked, the girl next to him was more noble than he imagined! It turned out to be the daughter of the heavenly family. After experiencing Wang Hao's death, he couldn't tell his feelings about the Heavenly Family in his heart, but the princess was a person who valued love and righteousness, and he couldn't be confused with the Heavenly Family, so he comforted the princess and her younger brother Liu Zhun softly on the side.

Xiao Yan looked at Tao Hongjing's injured right hand and said, "This benevolent brother has commendable courage, I have a few Blue Blood Pills here, take them to heal quickly." ”

Tao Hongjing thanked him, and then took the pill, and after a while, the wound on his hand had scabbed and healed on its own.

"Dare to ask what Brother Tai is called?"

Xiao Yan smiled heartily and said, "Under Xiao Yan, this is Xiao Ziliang, Lord Xiao." ”

"It turned out to be the Shuangjie of the Lanling Xiao family! Thanks to the rescue today, the palace will definitely ask the emperor to reward the two! After speaking, Liu Zhen'er picked up her younger brother Liu Zhun and got into another carriage and said goodbye to Tao Hongjing.

Xiao Ziliang happened to go to Jianchu Temple with Xiao Yan to worship the Buddha today, and when he came out, he saw the two highnesses traveling, and wanted to come forward to say goodbye, but found that there was an unknown black-clothed monk with him, and the two decided to quietly follow behind to escort, which saved a few people at a critical moment.

Tao Hongjing thanked the Xiao family for saving their lives, and deep down he still had lingering palpitations in his heart about Murong Zheng's fierce eyes when he left.
