Chapter 519, blessings and misfortunes lurk

It was already lunch time, and on the hill in the back garden of the Weiwang Mansion in Anshu County, the big white ape was lazily lying on the hillside basking in the sun, with half a green apple in his mouth, and the black unicorn was lying next to the big white ape, nibbling on a few green apples. Those apples were brought to the big white ape by the little girl Zu Qingqiu, but the big white ape gave some of the apples to the unicorn.

The great white ape has little interest in birds and beasts in general, and does not play with them, except for the black unicorn. Unicorns are also quite friendly to great white apes and often come to play with them. Simon Yushuang quipped, this is a friendship between beasts and birds.

This time, Tang Jiusheng didn't take them with him when he went to Jianzhou, the white ape was too big, more than a zhang tall, and it was too conspicuous wherever he went, and the unicorn was also very conspicuous. After all, something like a unicorn has only been paid tribute twice in the past 20 years. The emperor gave it to Yin Quan, the king of Pingxi, and the princess of Pingxi, Ximen Yuxue, gave it to her sister Ximen Yushuang, who in turn gave it to Tang Jiusheng. With Tang Jiusheng's current popularity, going out on a unicorn is equivalent to sticking the word Wei Wang on the door of his head.

The Great White Ape and the Unicorn Horse, both of whom are very spiritual, but they can't speak, often bask in the sun together on the hill in the back garden of the palace. This hill in the palace, half natural and half artificial, was built during the previous Anshu County King period, and Tang Jiusheng was sitting back and enjoying its success. Many times people are like this, they work hard for half a day, but the result is to make wedding clothes for others.

The big white ape and the little girl Zu Qingqiu get along well, although the little girl's body shape is far from the big white ape, but they both treat each other as good friends. Zu Qingqiu has no father or mother, and the big white ape is also lonely, Zu Qingqiu brings apples, bananas and other fruits to the big white ape from time to time, although this big white monkey eats a lot, and the things Zu Qingqiu brought are not enough to stuff his teeth, but the little girl brought him fruits, which is a friendship, and the big monkey is very appreciative. Sometimes the big monkey will give the fruit given by Zu Qingqiu to his good friend unicorn to eat.

The unicorn is also a very peculiar existence, it is okay to eat grass when there is no fruit, and if you have fruit, you have to eat fruit, and you love to eat fruit more than the big white ape, so the big white ape often sends him fruits to eat. Today, as usual, the two birds and beasts were lying on their backs, leisurely basking in the sun and eating fruits on the hillside, while Ximen Yushuang, Du Ruo and Zu Qingqiu sat on the stones on the side and chatted. Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue were not there, and the huge palace seemed to be much deserted all of a sudden.

The black unicorn that was eating apples on the hillside suddenly stood up, looked in the direction of Jianzhou, his eyes widened, his front hooves stood up, and he roared loudly. Ximen Yushuang was taken aback, this unicorn is extremely spiritual, what is the dangerous thing that happened to make it so out of shape? Ximen Yushuang quickly stood up and came to the unicorn. When the unicorn saw that the hostess was coming, he put down his front hooves and surrounded Ximen Yushuang, snorting incessantly, looking very anxious, as if he had something to say.

Du Ruo smiled and asked, "Is it that it hasn't been out for a long time? It's tired of staying in the house?" Sister Shuang, why don't you ride it out for a walk?" The unicorn shook its head when he heard Du Ruo's words, Du Ruo was a little surprised, "Wow, I didn't expect it to understand what I was saying!"

Ximen Yushuang smiled and stroked the unicorn's neck, and said softly: "It's very spiritual!" Ximen Yushuang thought for a moment and asked softly, "Is the prince in danger?" The unicorn shook his head. Ximen Yushuang asked again, "Is that Yue'er in danger?" and the unicorn shook his head. Ximen Yushuang was a little confused, since Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue were not in danger, what was the unicorn anxious about?

The little girl Zu Qingqiu came to the unicorn and asked with a smile: "Little horse, then let me guess, since the master and the master are not in danger, is our army in danger?" The unicorn still shook his head. Zu Qingqiu suddenly laughed, "Which of our good friends is in danger?" this time the unicorn nodded. Zu Qingqiu clapped his hands happily and said with a smile: "I guessed right! Then I'll guess who is in danger!"

Zu Qingqiu asked: "Then who is in danger? Is it Uncle Fat?" The unicorn shook his head, Zu Qingqiu asked six or seven acquaintances in a row, and the unicorn shook his head, Zu Qingqiu casually asked: "This is not, that is not, can it still be the fastest Uncle Yulong Xingkong?" This time the unicorn stopped shaking his head, let out a long neigh, and nodded. Zu Qingqiu was surprised: "Uncle Yulong is the fastest runner, he can run if he can't beat him, who can hurt him?"

The unicorn was restless and looked restless. The great white ape slowly stood up, squinted at the unicorn, and gently stroked the unicorn's back with his huge hand, as if to comfort it. The big white ape made a non-panicked expression, and patted his chest with his hand, as if to say, don't be afraid, there is a brother! The unicorn touched the belly of the big white ape with his head, as if he was a little unhappy, Du Ruo sneered and laughed out loud on the side, these two guys are quite interesting.

The big white ape pointed to the horse's back with his hand and motioned for Ximen Yushuang to ride up. Ximen Yushuang had no choice but to ride on horseback and said with a smile: "Do you want me to rush to Jianzhou to save people together?" The big white ape and the unicorn actually nodded together. Ximen Yushuang smiled: "Then I have to go and get a weapon!" The little maid standing next to her immediately rushed back, took Ximen Yushuang's Woyun Sword and handed it to her, Ximen Yushuang put the sword on her back, turned back to Du Ruo and Zu Qingqiu and smiled: "Then I'm going to save people, you take care of your home at home!"

Zu Qingqiu clapped his hands and laughed: "It turns out that the big monkey and the unicorn think the same!" The big white ape squatted down, gently stroked the little girl's head with his hand, made a goodbye gesture to the little girl and Du Ruo, and then slapped the unicorn's buttocks with his hand, and made a charging gesture, the unicorn immediately rushed out of the garden of the Weiwang Mansion and ran towards the official road, and the big white ape then jumped away, following all the way.

On the official road to Jianzhou County, a black unicorn was galloping, and a young woman was sitting on the horse's back, carrying a sword, with a large chest and beautiful appearance, it was Ximen Yushuang. More than ten zhang behind the unicorn, there is a big white monkey, running wildly, speeding faster than the galloping horse, and it is really shocking that it can maintain the same speed as the unicorn.

The speed of the unicorn horse is extremely fast, the oncoming wind is too strong, Ximen Yushuang had to lie on the horse's back, set off in the afternoon, when the sun has not set, a person, a horse and an ape have rushed to the east gate of Jianzhou City. Several guards at the gate of the city saw a beautiful woman riding a black unicorn with a sword on her back, followed by a big white monkey, and immediately guessed that it was from the palace of the king of Wei, how dare they stop it, and obediently let it go. However, Ximen Yushuang stopped his horse and asked the guards where the county guard yamen was, and then he rode into the city and went straight to the county guard yamen.

The fat man was ordering troops on the school Yang, and Tang Jiusheng had already discussed with Shui Ruyue and the others, and was ready to lead the troops to Luye City overnight. At this time, the housekeeper of the county guarding the yamen ran in out of breath, "Lord Wang, the second princess is here!" Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue were stunned, Xiaowei didn't say that there was something in the palace, but Ximen Yushuang suddenly came, there must be an accident.

Tang Jiusheng hurriedly led everyone out to greet him, only to see Ximen Yushuang with a dusty face, holding a unicorn in his hand, followed by the big white ape. Tang Jiusheng stepped forward, hugged Ximen Yushuang, and asked with a smile: "Shuang'er, you are not in the palace, what are you doing here?"

Ximen Yushuang shook his head, and told the reaction of the unicorn and the big white ape when they finished eating at noon. Tang Jiusheng was very surprised, and said in surprise: "Junior Brother is in danger? Junior Brother is alone in the world, even if he can't be beaten by a master, he can easily escape, who can do anything to him?" But at noon today, there seems to be an earthquake in the direction of Biji Mountain, and there is also an earthquake in Jianzhou City, it can't be related to Little Junior Brother, right?"

The unicorn neighed, the big white ape's face was serious, the two guys nodded together, Tang Jiusheng's scalp was numb, since these two psychic guys nodded, then Yulong Xingkong must be in danger, it seems that he has to postpone going to Luye City. Tang Jiusheng said decisively: "Xiaoyu, go and ask the fat man to postpone the troops, we have to go to Biji Mountain first!" Shen Xiaoyu agreed, and rushed out to inform the fat man.

There was not much time, and the fat man Pegasus hurried back to the county guard yamen and shouted loudly: "Old Tang, what is your situation? My side of the soldiers and horses are almost finished, you said that you can't send troops?"

Tang Jiusheng nodded and said: "Yes, I won't go to Luye for the time being, Yulong is in trouble, let's rush to Biji Mountain, let's go first!" Tang Jiusheng turned around and smiled at Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang: "Yue'er, Shuang'er, there is only one horse, the fat man and I rode first, fortunately, Biji Mountain is relatively close, more than two hundred miles away, one-horned horses can run back and forth in an hour, and you will go to the second batch later!"

Xiahou Lingyu said: "Brother Tang, I want to go too! Since the two psychic animals have such a strong reaction, it is best to let Senior Brother Chen go too! But just such a unicorn, running back and forth is not exhausting?" Everyone also made a difficulty, and the big white ape standing on the side took two steps forward, patted his shoulder with his hand, signaling that they could sit on his shoulder, Chen Chengshu couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Jiusheng nodded and said, "Okay, then you and Brother Chen sit on the shoulders of the big white ape, and the fat man and I will ride a unicorn to rush first, and Yue'er and Shuang'er will rush later." Tang Jiusheng turned his head and said loudly: "Ling Hu Yu!" Ling Hu Yu, who was hidden in the darkness, immediately appeared, swept in front of Tang Jiusheng, bowed down and said loudly: "Lord Wang, my subordinates are here!"

Tang Jiusheng said: "Now we are going to Biji Mountain, and the affairs of Jianzhou will be handed over to you and Cheng Zifei, Shen Xiaoyu and others, if there are military matters, just ask Ning Chenggang and Huo Yunsheng, and solemnly respect a few of them." The affairs of government affairs are still handled by Zheng Beijia, you should not interfere easily, and discuss things to do!" Ling Hu Yu agreed respectfully.

Xiahou Lingyu and Chen Chengshu sat on the shoulders of the big white ape, Tang Jiusheng carried the Seven Love Sword on his back, the fat man lifted two sledgehammers, and the two of them rode on unicorns and rushed to Biji Mountain overnight. An ape and a horse are fast, galloping for half an hour, they have come to the north gate of Biji County, the county seat has just closed for a while, the fat man called the door under the city, and the soldier stood at the head of the city and asked: "Who are you? Do you have a pass?"

The fat man thought to himself, he was already a captain of Jianzhou, a military person, what else was there to be afraid of? So he said loudly: "I am Jiang Zhenyu, the captain of Jianzhou, and I am going to Biji Mountain on business, please open the city gate!"

At the head of the city, the soldier replied: "Lord Captain, you also know that the city gate is closed at night, and we will not dare to open the city without a pass unless it is an emergency!"

The fat man had no choice but to say loudly: "King Wei Chitose is here, and he is anxious to pass through the city to Biji Mountain, since you don't dare to call the shots, go and call your magistrate to come quickly! You have to miss King Wei's big event, be careful of your head!"

When the soldier heard that King Wei was under the city, he was frightened, and said continuously: "The little one doesn't know that King Wei is coming, please wait for a while, and the little one will immediately go to report to the county magistrate!"

He Zhengshan didn't even wear his shoes properly, so he rode a big horse in a panic, took a few officials on duty, galloped to the north gate of the county seat, and asked in a loud voice at the head of the city: "May I ask if the city is indeed the king of Wei's Chitose?

Tang Jiusheng took out the Tang family's imperial gold medal from his arms, and shouted: "Catch it!" and threw the gold medal to the city, and the soldier next to the county magistrate was quick-eyed, grabbed the gold medal, and handed it to the county magistrate He Zhengshan. He Zhengshan took the gold medal and looked at it, it was indeed the gold medal given to the Tang family, and he was busy calling the guards to open the door. The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, Tang Jiusheng and the fat man urged the horse into the city, followed by the big white ape, Xiahou Lingyu and Chen Chengshu.

The magistrate hurriedly ran down the city, and hurriedly saluted Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng waved his hand, "Excuse me! Wait for this black horse to go back, and the two princesses will also come, and then you will trouble your county to open the city gate!"

He Zhixian said in a loud voice: "No trouble, no trouble, this is a matter within the duties of the lower officials! The prince is in a hurry, presumably he hasn't had dinner yet, right? Why don't you invite the prince to the county office for a light meal first?" As he spoke, he handed back the Tang family's imperial gold medal to Tang Jiusheng.

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Thank you for your good intentions, this king has already had dinner, you go and get busy with yours!"

The fat man smiled on the side: "Lord Zhixian, please prepare forty meatloaf, wait for my sisters-in-law to take them to the mountain, fat man, I haven't eaten enough for dinner, I want to eat some supper!"

He Zhixian bowed down and said in a loud voice: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Xia Guan will immediately let people prepare!" He Zhixian immediately sent an order down and asked people to hurry up and make forty meat patties. Tang Jiusheng didn't wait for the meatloaf to be made, he hurriedly took the fat man and rode a unicorn out of the city, behind the two of them were the big white ape, Chen Chengshu, Xiahou Lingyu, the four of them, a horse and a monkey, through the city and went straight to the foot of Biji Mountain.

There is a company camp at the foot of Biji Mountain, 7,000 Jianzhou soldiers are outside, and 3,000 mountain bandits are in the middle, after all, these mountain bandits are newly surrendered, and their loyalty is very low, Jin Chengzhang and Fan Chenglin are afraid that they will escape, so they trap them in the middle. Some officers and soldiers on duty heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance and shouted: "This is the Jianzhou military camp, who are you?"

The fat man replied loudly: "King Wei is here, I want to go to Biji Mountain, why don't you come and see the prince soon!" The junior colonel on duty immediately rushed to report to Hou Jingxian, and in less than half a cup of tea, Hou Jingxian rode out on a fast horse and came to the gate of the camp to meet King Wei. Xiahou Lingyu and Chen Chengshu jumped off the shoulders of the big white ape, and the fat man also jumped off the unicorn.

Hou Jingxian hurriedly asked people to open the camp gate and invited Tang Jiusheng and others into the tent. All the captains went to the Chinese military tent to pay homage to Tang Jiusheng. Tang Jiusheng asked all the lieutenants to be exempted from courtesy, and they all gave them seats. He also sent a capable colonel to ride a unicorn back to Jianzhou City to exchange for the two princesses. The little colonel mounted a unicorn and went off as if it were flying. Tang Jiusheng saw that only Hou Jingxian was among the main generals, so he asked about Yulong Xingkong, Shui Rulong, Jin Chengzhang, Fan Chenglin and others.

Hearing Tang Jiusheng ask about Yulong Xingkong and the others, Hou Jingxian replied with a spring breeze on his face: "Lord Qiqi, after the earthquake in Biji Mountain this morning, a crypt appeared in the back mountain, General Yulong ventured down to investigate, and found that there were a large number of gold bars and silver bricks inside, so he sent reliable people to move them, General Jin, General Shui and Mr. Fan all went to supervise the work to check the amount of gold and silver. ”

Tang Jiusheng heard that there was a large amount of gold and silver in the crypt, and his heart was also ecstatic, what is lacking in the training now is gold and silver, isn't this a windfall from heaven? Then why do the unicorn and the big white ape think that Yulong Xingkong is in danger? Could it be that there are still unknown things in the crypt? Thinking of this, Tang Jiusheng stood up and said to Hou Jingxian: "Captain Hou, please prepare four fast horses, this king will go up the mountain overnight to check the situation!"

Hou Jingxian immediately agreed, and asked people to prepare four fast horses, Tang Jiusheng and the fat man, Chen Chengshu, and Xiahou Lingyu rode on the fast horses with lanterns, and the big white ape followed, and Hou Jingxian sent fifty elite soldiers to protect the prince. The group went straight to Biji Mountain. Jin Chengzhang's company camp was only ten miles away from the foot of Biji Mountain, and the group soon came to the foot of the mountain, and by the moonlight, they saw soldiers patrolling the mountain pass from a distance.

When the junior colonel patrolling the mountain saw a group of people riding horses, he shouted: "Who are you here? Stand there quickly! Biji Mountain has been closed, and no one is allowed to approach without General Jin's order.

The fat man was furious, and Tima yelled forward: "Bastard, King Wei has arrived, why don't you hurry up and see King Wei Chitose?"

When the little colonel heard that it was Wei Wang Chitose who came, he was startled, and hurriedly took someone to see it with a lantern, and sure enough, it was Wei Wang Chitose, who was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kept kowtowing, and said in a trembling voice: "The little one doesn't know that the prince has arrived!

Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "Get up, you are just doing your duty, what is the crime?Oh, by the way, in a few hours, the two princesses will also come, please let you go then!" The little colonel got up from the ground and agreed repeatedly. Tang Jiusheng waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain!" The little colonel hurriedly asked people to lead the way for the prince in front, and the group went up to Biji Mountain.

At this time, Yulong Xingkong had already opened the stone door at the end of the secret passage of the tomb with the key, and after carefully pushing the door open, no hidden weapon flew out. Yulong Xingkong let out a long breath and smiled, and it seemed that the danger was finally lifted. It's just that he didn't expect that blessings and misfortunes lurk, and danger often happens after you think it's safe and let your guard down.
