Chapter 4 The unfathomable human heart

Shengjing, the capital of the dynasty, a separate courtyard in the east city, the courtyard is extremely quiet, the snow in the distant Dingxi Mansion is flying, but at this moment Shengjing is full of spring, the peach blossoms in the courtyard have bloomed, scorching its glory, enchanting incomparably, adding a touch of color to this elegant small courtyard. In the main hall, a young man sits on it, and the hall is extremely simple, except for the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and the seats in the hall. If you don't know the identity of the child, you will definitely think that this is a scholar from an ordinary family, but the upper echelons of the entire Shengjing know who this person is.

A white-haired old servant hunched over into the hall and said, "Your Highness, the matter has been done!" "Got it, Uncle Wen!" The old servant's eyes were full of warmth when he looked at his son, but there was a faint trace of worry, and he hesitated for a while and did not speak.

"Uncle Wen, if you have something to say!, apart from my father, you are my dearest person!"

"Your Highness, I watched you grow up, and I am worried that the prince will blame you if he knows about this, and the prince and Qingli are friends of life and death. ”

"Hehe, Uncle Wen, we didn't do anything, did we. Although the Qing family has escaped from the world, its influence in the Tianyuan Continent is still there, once the Qing family enters the world, my second brother will be like a tiger!"

Then he said: "We are in Shengjing, we don't know anything, but by chance the news is revealed, and the spies of Beihuan have already killed all the people who went to Qingzhuang to report the news from the palace!" After a pause, he said: "My father has rarely asked about the affairs of the palace in recent years, and he is bent on retreating and impacting the realm of returning to the Yuan, and the affairs of the Qing family have always been handled by the second child, and after the father leaves the customs, he will only blame the second child for the crime of being careless, and there is trouble for finding Du Zhou." ”

Wen Wan just listened and didn't say a word. After his mother passed away, since he was sensible, in the past twenty years, Tian Qi has also become accustomed to such an Uncle Wen, he is his best listener.

Wen Wan slowly withdrew from the house, the breeze sent the drums to tell the time, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the world, Wen Wan, who was looking in the mirror, felt a little cold, and secretly said: "The northwest wind is rising!"

The name of the nine elders is Song, and the disciples in the family often call him Elder Song, who is as his name, as Jin Song, and proud and independent. In recent years, only the Nine Elders have been walking around the continent. Qingli once said: "Zhuyue is at the top, and the pine is on the stone!". When the Tianyuan Continent was in turmoil, Qing Song was still young and did not participate in the war, but in the past few decades, his cultivation has reached the late stage of the Divine Mirror.

Qing Song was the first to pass through the secret passage, and then held the jade talisman in his hand, constantly inputting true qi to keep the secret passage unobstructed. After a few hours, the retreating people gradually came out of the secret passage. After a while, he saw a red signal from the direction of Qingzhuang, Qingsong felt a pang of cramps in his heart, he knew that Qingzhuang was over, and his heart was very sad, but he still forced himself to lift his spirit, and said: "Everyone rest for a while!" and thought about the whole thing carefully, and thought: "At this time, Dingxi Mansion must have changed, and the imperial court will also send people to hunt down and kill." You need to take them away from the East China Sea, find an island to escape the world, and then try to figure it out. ”

Meng Qing walked up to the Ninth Elder and asked softly, "Ninth Uncle, where are we going?" The Ninth Elder said, "I haven't thought of a good place to go yet!" Meng Qing said: "Thousands of miles away, it is said that there is a hidden sect, called Tianmen, which is extremely mysterious and powerful, can we go there to take refuge?" Qing Song said: "How can I not know the name of Tianmen, it is also a good place to go, if I am myself, there is no problem, but with so many people, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to take refuge?" ”

Meng Qing hesitated for a while and said: "Ninth Uncle, Brother Feng gave me a jade talisman when he left, and asked me to go to Tianmen to find an elder, I know that in this time of crisis, I should be with everyone, but Brother Feng's words ......" I choked up when I said this, and I couldn't say it anymore.

The Ninth Elder said: "It's not a good thing for these people to be together, I am also going to plan to bring some of them to the East China Sea, and then send them to the sect with old knowledge in several parts, and the young eagle can only fly high if he leaves his parents!" Then he said, "That Qing'er, you can take Hu'er and set off quickly, we will meet each other one day!"

Meng Qing said: "Then Uncle Nine, take care!" After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Qinghu was also reluctant to give up with Qingwei, Qingya and others.

Meng Qing took out the jade talisman, and the true qi urged the jade talisman, and suddenly emitted a milky white light, only to see that she was carrying Qinghu and was instantly wrapped in airflow, Meng Qing pointed to the west, and a white light disappeared from everyone's eyes in an instant.

"Let's go, let's all follow me. The Ninth Elder said to everyone.

The air flow born of the jade talisman wrapped Meng Qing's mother and son and flew quickly to the northwest, and their eyes looked below, and the Tianshan Mountain was covered in silver, a white world. Occasionally, you can see scattered cabins, still trickling streams, white tigers foraging in the woods, and black bears, which made Qinghu scream with excitement, and he had forgotten his father. Carrying his son on his back, he occasionally saw the sycamore trees growing together, and saw the birds in the forest in pairs, and he suddenly lost his mind and felt sad.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind struck, and a huge claw slapped towards Meng Qing and them, Meng Qing quickly lifted his spirits and avoided the attack. This action alarmed a snow eagle that was patrolling in the air, attacking Meng Qing like an arrow, Meng Qing hurriedly raised his sword to attack, but he didn't want the snow eagle to be huge, but it was very agile, quickly dodged the attack, a flip in the air, and the claws grabbed Qinghu behind, Meng Qing hurriedly lowered his height, but it was still too late, and his hair was grabbed a piece. In a panic, Meng Qing hurriedly took out a short crossbow and shot at the snow eagle. Snow Eagle dodged one after another, but the abdomen dodged and was hit by an arrow, and after being hit, the true qi on the arrow exploded, and the snow eagle's flesh and skin burst from the explosion, letting out a burst of sorrow, and flew high into the air.

Seeing the snow eagle flying away, Meng Qing hurriedly accelerated the jade talisman to move forward, eager to have wings on his back and stratus clouds on his feet. He traveled for about three hours, and was attacked one after another. Meng Qing no longer flew too high, and constantly used the giant tree for cover, but his speed couldn't help but slow down.

Qinghu on his back let out a burst of snoring, too many things have happened today, and he has seen too many terrible things along the way, and he was frightened repeatedly, and he couldn't help but fall asleep. After a while, he felt his mother stop and he woke up. Only then did he see that his mother was already disheveled, very embarrassed, and her arms had been dyed red.

"Mother, are you injured, does it hurt? "It doesn't hurt, Hu'er is good!" "Mother, haven't we arrived yet?" "Soon, soon!" "The power of people is sometimes unpredictable, Meng Qing never thought that he would have such an embarrassing time, yesterday he was still drinking and enjoying the snow at Brother Feng, and Hu'er was making trouble from time to time next to him. "Brother Feng, how are you, are you still alive?" Meng Qing's heart ached.

More than 200 miles north of Wuzhou is the surrendered city, and one of the main forces in the northwest is stationed outside the surrendered city, the Left Guard Army. "Come on, send an order to the forward battalion, go!" As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged general walked out of the tent of the Chinese army, dressed in white armor, with angry eyes at this time, this person was Gui Yafu, the left general of Dingxi Mansion, who was as famous as Wuzhou Assassin Shi Yuanying and the right general Gao Jianshang. After a few moments, the forward battalion had been assembled, Gui Yafu turned over his horse and led the forward battalion straight to Qingzhuang.

Gui Yafu was very anxious, and kept speeding up the march, and the road of an hour arrived in less than half an hour, when the sky was faintly bright, and a red sun had risen in the east. When they arrived at Qingzhuang, everyone was stunned, Rao is these people who are used to seeing life and death, and they are trembling at this moment, you can imagine what kind of big battle happened here. Although he didn't hold out much hope, Gui Yafu hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and search to see if there are any living people, and if there are living people, heal them quickly!" The soldiers followed the order.

The general of the forward battalion is a confidant of Yafu, and he approached and asked softly: "Gui Shuai, how can this be, two days ago, didn't the second prince already send someone to send a message?" Gui Yafu sighed and said: "There is a traitor here, and the leader sent to deliver the message replied to the second prince that many people have been sent to report the news, and Qingzhuang has been evacuated and went to the vicinity of my Xiliu camp, who knows that this person is a person from Beihuan, who has been hiding in the mansion for many years, and has fled to Beihuan after the incident." ”

Then he said: "Today, the second prince sent someone to ask me about Qingzhuang, and I knew that Qingzhuang had not moved, and I knew that something would happen, and the Qing family's loyal martyrs suffered such a tragedy!"

Half an hour later, the soldiers came to report that they had not found any living mouths, all the dead were adult men, and no women and children were found. He said worriedly: "Before the retreat, the prince had asked me to take care of the Qing family, and now it seems that fortunately someone escaped, but it is difficult to escape the prince's punishment." ”

Instructed the general: "I estimate that the female dependents and children have escaped, you choose some henchmen with strong martial arts, search around here, and escort them to the second son's Yilin Courtyard at any cost, I will go to the city to explain the situation to the prince, and the prince must be cleared now!"

The general said: "Commander, don't worry, I will personally take people and be sure to find them." After saying that, go and choose your henchmen, and immediately start searching.
