Sima Wende covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and ran out with all his might.

When he arrived in the courtyard, he hunched over, coughed violently, and looked around, surrounded by a sea of fire and smoke.

His eyes stayed on Chen Fangzao, who was carrying Sima Ruolan out, and he asked anxiously: "Mr. Chen, there are fires everywhere, what should we do? You, why did you come out?"

Chen Fangzao looked around and frowned.

If he just took one person away, he would still be able to do it easily, but now that there is another Sima Ruolan, it will be a little difficult to do.

Saving Sima Ruolan was his temporary intention.

Originally, according to Huo Xingwei's meaning, if there was any accident in the palace, he only needed to rescue Sima Wende.

It's just that Huo Xingwei wouldn't have thought that Yuan Shixin would not even let Sima Ruolan go.

As for Chen Fang's early willingness to save Sima Ruolan, he was not moved by compassion.

It's because their little junior brother liked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess very much.

He had already learned the good news of the little junior brother from the mouth of the senior brother, and as a junior brother, he was naturally happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

But he felt that if he didn't save Sima Ruolan at this time, the little junior brother would definitely regret it when he knew about it in the future.

The little junior brother already has a regret, and as a little junior brother, he doesn't want the junior brother to have another regret.

Tilting his head and looking at Sima Ruolan who was carrying him on his shoulder, Chen Fangzao pursed his lips.

What's so good about women?

The good senior brother doesn't smile all day long, and the little junior brother goes away for this.

It's better to be yourself, and you can't be interested in women.

Even if she is the third senior sister, she is no different from the senior brother in his eyes.

Chen Fangzao casually fanned the smoke around him, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the door has been locked, although that small lock can't stop me Chen Fangzao, but I'm afraid that there are still people guarding outside, and we can't rush out rashly." ”

Sima Wende was puzzled: "With Mr. Chen's skills, how can he be defeated by people outside?"

Chen Fang smiled early, this majesty spoke quite well, but his brain was not very bright.

He pointed in a certain direction and said: "Your Majesty, follow me over there, the reason why I appeared late is to find a way out, Your Majesty, after this fire, there is no Wende Emperor in the world, can you understand what I mean?"

Sima Wende understood the meaning of Chen Fangzao's words.

He Sima Wende can escape from the door, even if he escapes, the people outside will not do anything to him, but he is afraid that the matter of walking in the water will still happen.

What Yuan Shixin wanted was that he, Sima Wende, died in some kind of "accident".

Sima Wende tugged at the corner of Chen Fangzao's clothes, worried that he would get lost with him.

Chen Fangzao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the one called Gong Ju outside has secretly called everyone outside, leaving only the three of your Sima family, and the personal female official of the eldest princess." ”

Sima Wende slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I ran out in a hurry, but I forgot to save Aunt Rong, and after speaking, I turned my head to look in the direction he ran out." ”

Chen Fangzao's heart moved slightly, he didn't expect Sima Wende to say such a thing.

He grabbed Sima Wende's arm with his backhand and said, "Your Majesty, let's go, I'm afraid that aunt is dead now, even if she still has a breath, there is nothing I can do." ”

Sima Wende's body shook for a moment, and then he said in a low voice: "I understand, let's go!"

The palace man looked at the billowing smoke coming out of the Queen Mother's bedroom and shook his head gently.

Then he ordered to go down and put out the fire quickly.

His so-called firefighting is nothing more than to prevent the fire from spreading, and only to burn down the queen mother's bedroom.

After giving the order, the palace man turned and left.

The fire burned for a day and a night.

The queen mother's bedroom was burned to ruins.

Up and down the government and the opposition, they were shaken.

————————

Out of Ziyang City, go fifty miles east along the official road, there is a fork in the northeast direction.

Continue along this fork in the road for more than 80 miles, there are mountains.

The main peak of the mountain, the name is Qingyun.

The Qingyun Sect is on this mountain.

A carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, Jia Nanfeng got out of the carriage, said hard work to the coachman, and asked the coachman to return to Ziyang City first.

The carriage is the carriage in the palace, and the coachman is also the coachman in the palace.

The king ordered him to send Mr. Jia back to Qingyun Sect for a good time, and then bring Mr. Jia back in good health.

The coachman was a wooden man, he rubbed his hands dryly and said: "This immortal chief, that, that, the king has an order, the little one dare not disobey, the little one is still waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain!"

Jia Nanfeng smiled, understood Fan Liye's thoughts, took out some silver taels from his arms, handed them to the coachman, and said, "You drive back ten miles, there is a Qingyun Inn in the town, you go there and wait for the old man." ”

The coachman glanced at the silver taels in Jia Nanfeng's hand, took half a step back, stretched out his hand and rubbed a few times on his thighs, and said with a smile: "When I went out, Hou Mink Temple had already sent someone to give some silver taels to the small ones, how could I ask for the silver of the immortal chief? If the king knew about this, the little ones would only lose their jobs." ”

Jia Nanfeng patted the coachman on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, you can rest assured, this silver was given to you by the old man, and the king will not reprimand you for it." ”

The coachman grinned, palms up, but tucked only at his waist.

Jia Nanfeng chuckled, put the silver taels in his hand on the carriage board, and turned around and walked towards the mountain road.

The coachman greeted Jia Nanfeng's back and said, "The little one thanked the immortal chief for the reward." ”

After speaking, he grabbed the small piece of silver, rubbed it a few times in the palm of his hand, weighed the weight again, took out a money bag from his arms, put the silver into it, carefully tied the mouth of the money bag, and then took the money bag a few times, and after putting it in his arms, he patted his chest twice, grabbed the horsewhip, raised it hard, and shouted "drive" proudly.

Walking up the stairs, Jia Nanfeng stroked his beard.

Some people, if you give him a penny, he will remember you well.

And some people, if you want him to remember you well, maybe you need ten wen, one hundred, or even one tael, ten taels, or more.

Those who can give charity do not necessarily want others to remember their goodness.

But he would never like to be scolded.

How can you be scolded?

But there are people who take other people's benefits and hate this and that, there is a kind of Lao Tzu who accepts your things, which gives you a sense of great face.

Of course, with Jia Nanfeng's identity, he naturally doesn't care what the coachman thinks of him.

The main peak of Qingyun Mountain is towering into the clouds, and the peak is covered with clouds and mist all the year round, like a fairyland on earth.

Qingyun Sect is set up halfway up Qingyun Mountain, no matter how high it is, it is too far away from the world.

If you are too far away from the world, the sect will starve to death.

After all, the people in the Qingyun Sect are also people.

The woodcutters and medicine pickers in the mountains often see the disciples of the Qingyun Sect climbing rocks and walking on the walls in the mountains, walking on the ground, and they don't understand what martial arts are, so they call the people of the Qingyun Sect "Immortal Chief".

There are even more people who are willing to send their children to the Qingyun Sect to get a touch of immortal energy.

Whether a sect can endure for a long time depends not on the secret books of divine skills, but on the successors.

But when Jia Nanfeng's senior brother Zhen Beiyu succeeded to the head of the sect, he did not accept any of his descendants.

At present, the next generation of disciples of Qingyun Sect, except for Ning Kai, only three descendant disciples, all of whom are around twenty years old, are taught by Jia Nanfeng, but they have not officially apprenticed.

According to Jia Nanfeng's idea, the senior brother should at least choose one person from him as his personal disciple.

But he couldn't figure out what the senior brother thought.

Even if the two of them planned that big thing, but the sect behind them was the foundation of their lives, otherwise, what was the point of them planning that matter?

Halfway through, Jia Nanfeng frowned, and suddenly flashed, and a figure floated in front of him.

The figure paused, did not turn around, but the man had already swept back.

Jia Nanfeng stood sideways, bowed his head and saluted: "Senior brother!"

It turned out that this person was the head of Qingyun Sect, Zhen Beiyu.

Zhen Beiyu was wearing a wide robe, his beard was white, his eye sockets were quite deep, his cheekbones were slightly high, and his chin was slightly pointed, but he didn't look as fairy as Jia Nanfeng.

Zhen Beiyu stood beside Jia Nanfeng and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Jia, you came back just in time, quickly help Senior Brother." ”

After saying that, he sat cross-legged on the spot.

Jia Nanfeng pressed one palm on Zhen Beiyu's shoulder, and a strong surge shook Jia Nanfeng back two steps.

Zhen Beiyu said in a low voice: "Senior brother's true qi in his body is a little uncontrollable, you can help me breathe." ”

Jia Nanfeng did not hesitate, sat cross-legged behind Zhen Beiyu, running Qingxuangong all over his body, and slowly placed his palms on Zhen Beiyu's back.

With a solemn look on his face, he constantly channeled his true qi into Zhen Beiyu's body, in order to suppress the violent and scattered true qi in Zhen Beiyu's body.

Zhen Beiyu is also borrowing the power of Jia Nanfeng to suppress the disobedient true qi in his body.

The tip of Jia Nanfeng's nose began to ooze fine beads of sweat, and he continued to convey true qi outward, Rao is profound skill, and he was a little unbearable.

At this time, Zhen Beiyu roared and opened out with a palm.

With a "snap", a thick palm print appeared on a two-person uncle five feet away.

Zhen Beiyu took the credit and said in a low voice: "There is a senior brother, you can collect the credit." ”

Jia Nanfeng exhaled lightly, looked at the palm print on the tree that almost pierced the tree, and asked, "Senior brother, what's going on with you?"

Zhen Beiyu breathed for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Senior brother, I have gone a little crazy, this sign has been some time, let's go, you and I will talk about this matter in detail after we arrive at the sect." ”

Jia Nanfeng also spent a lot of true qi, and after standing up, he walked to the tree, reached out and touched the deep palm hole and said, "Senior brother, if this achievement is a great achievement, who else in this world will be the opponent of senior brother?"

Zhen Beiyu shook his head and said, "This palm was played by the strength of you and my senior brother, and it was not the senior brother who practiced this palm technique." ”

After speaking, he stood up and walked slowly up the mountain.

At this time, he is like an old man who is about to die.

But Jia Nanfeng, who was following him, knew what a terrifying power was hidden in the body of the senior brother in front of him.

The two talked as they walked.

Zhen Beiyu put his hands behind his back, bowed his body slightly, turned his head to look at Jia Nanfeng, who was walking side by side with him, and said slowly: "Why did you come back?

Jia Nanfeng bowed slightly: "Everything is going according to plan, and Bazhou will soon have civil strife." ”

Zhen Beiyu chuckled and said, "It's you, do you have any requests over there?"

Jia Nanfeng shook his head and said: "I didn't ask for anything, it seems that their purpose is to cause chaos in Bazhou." ”

Zhen Beiyu nodded and said: "It should be so, but they have a lot of people in Bazhou, and I am afraid that it will be a problem for you and me in the future." ”

Jia Nanfeng said with a smile: "It's just some clowns who jump off the beam, and now the senior brother has achieved great success, so why should those people be afraid." ”

Zhen Beiyu suddenly frowned, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his chest a few times, exhaled lightly, and then sighed: "After all, it is not the strength of the right way, and the future will be a lot of trouble, junior brother, in the future, you must not take the road of senior brother." ”

Jia Nanfeng was silent for a moment and said, "If there is no hope of reaching the top, I still want to try one or two, junior brother." ”

Then he asked, "Senior brother, I wasn't good before, why did I suddenly go crazy?"

Zhen Beiyu shook his head lightly and said, "Maybe this road doesn't work, or maybe the incident left a hidden illness for the senior brother back then." ”

Jia Nanfeng was puzzled: "Back then, you and my senior brother were just learning from him, it stands to reason that he is unlikely to have done anything to the senior brother, as for this method, since the senior brother has reached this realm, it should be feasible." ”

Zhen Beiyu pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's Qing Xuangong's problem. ”

Jia Nanfeng was puzzled: "Senior brother means that only their Xuanyi Sect's Taixuan Gong can be?"

Zhen Beiyu nodded and said: "I guess so, our Qingxuangong and Taixuangong are originally of the same origin, but their Xuanyi's Taixuangong is more orthodox." Xuanyi Sect is the head of the Nine Great Sects, but not only because the founding patriarch was a senior brother back then. ”

Jia Nanfeng thought so.

————————

Luoyue City.

More than a dozen carriages stopped in front of the Xiangguo Mansion, and a group of courtiers waited hard outside the Xiangguo Mansion with anxious expressions.

At this time, the door of Xiangguo's mansion opened.

Seeing that the butler came out, everyone gathered around and asked nonsense.

"Big butler, Lord Xiangguo agrees with us?"

"Big butler, is Lord Xiangguo in the house?"

"The chief butler, I'm tired of going to pass it on again, saying that I have something important to discuss with Lord Xiangguo. ”

No wonder everyone is in a hurry, a fire broke out in the palace, and the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor are unknown.

There is a way that a country cannot be without a king for a day, although I know that this palace will have to change its surname sooner or later, but when such a thing suddenly happens, the ministers are a little caught off guard after all.

The chief butler saluted everyone and said: "I said that don't embarrass me as an old man, Lord Xiangguo is unwell, and it is inconvenient to see guests for the time being, so please go back." ”

When he finishes speaking, he has to close the door.

Everyone rushed up, but they didn't dare to really push the door in.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from behind him, followed by a neighing of horses.

When everyone heard this, they turned around, but saw Cao Ning wearing armor and leading a team of men and horses.

A person stepped forward and pointed at Cao Ning and shouted: "Cao Ning, you are also the commander of the Ouchi guard, and there is a fire in the palace, you can't escape the blame for this matter, and tell you that the first thing Lord Ben did after seeing Lord Xiangguo was to join you." ”

Cao Ning glanced at the man and said expressionlessly, "Then there is Lord Lao Zhang." ”

Someone else chimed in: "Cao Ning, don't think that you can be so arrogant because you have the right to command the army, according to the old man, the fire in the palace was set by you, and you are the guard and self-thief." At present, you still dare to bring people to Xiangguo's mansion, why do you still want to be detrimental to Xiangguo? Tell you, with me here, you don't want to make a mistake here. ”

Cao Ning frowned, stepped forward and said, "Get out of the way!"

Seeing that someone was scolding Cao Ning, the others were also full of confidence, and began to point at Cao Ning's nose and scold indiscriminately.

Cao Ning took a deep breath and moved his thumb slightly.

With a soft groan, the saber in his hand popped out.

The half-cut sword body flashed in front of everyone's eyes.

Everyone was silent for a while.

At this time, Master Zhang, who was the first to speak, sneered: "Why, do you still dare to use force in front of Xiangye's door?" Cao Ning, do you think that we are the only ones in Luoyue City? Don't forget, you are no longer the commander of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou now. ”

After that incident, Cao Ning was no longer the commander of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, but was demoted to deputy marshal.

Since then, there has been no commander of soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, and the post of deputy commander, in addition to Cao Ning, also has Wang Jian, who was promoted, and a general brought by Yuan Shixin from Yangzhou.

Cao Ning had no complaints about this, thinking that Huo Xingwei had no objection to this matter.

Although Wang Jian was promoted to the position of deputy marshal, the position of the commander of the palace guards was concurrently held by Cao Ning.

Cao Ning didn't speak, he just stepped forward and took a step.

The people took a step back in unison,

Cao Ning took two more steps forward, and although everyone glared at him angrily, his feet involuntarily took two steps back.

Especially the few people standing in front of them, they even thought that the people behind them were blocking their way out.

It was a bright sword, and if it angered this person, they would go down with a sword and go to the king of Hades first.

Those who enjoy wealth and glory are the people behind them.

At this time, someone stood in front of him, stretched his neck and shouted: "Cao Ning, don't be arrogant, you don't look at what kind of place this is, how can you be allowed to spread wild here, and you dare to draw your sword here?" Tell you, the old man has read the sage books all his life, and his bones are the hardest, I'm afraid that you won't be a reckless man? Come, cut me, come, come, come, cut here, so that the world can see, is it your traitor's sword is fast, or the old man's neck is hard?"

"Okay, it's worthy of Lord Ying!"

When the crowd heard this man's words so hard, they clapped their hands and applauded, and some even rolled up their sleeves and waved their fists and shouted: "The surname Cao, you cut it, do you dare? Who are you to scare with a broken sword?"

Cao Ning glanced at the man and asked, "Whom, who is it, who is it, who is it?"

The man's face was shocked, and then he said righteously: "Master Ben is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Fu Ren." That Lord Ying is my own Shangguan, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Ying Gu, Lord Ying. ”

Cao Ning glanced at him, a small seven-pin, he dared to make a big deal of nonsense here, and he deserved to be a waste of the Hanlin Academy.

Then he looked at Ying Gu and drew the long sword in his hand.

The person standing in front of Ying Gu saw Cao Ning draw his sword, so he trembled and said, "You, what are you going to do?"

Cao Ning snorted lightly and said, "The sword has no eyes, and if you don't want to see blood, get out of the way of Lao Tzu." ”

Brush it, and there will be no one in front of you.

Not only in front of him, but even the people behind him quickly dodged to the side, staring at the bright long sword in Cao Ning's hand.

Some people even began to draft Cao Ning's recital in their hearts.

It's just that no one dares to say one more step, even the one named Fu Ren hides far away, for fear of splashing his own blood.

There was even some excitement in his heart, if Ying Gu died, maybe he could be promoted to an official position.

Ying Gu took a few steps back, his words were a little unreasonable, and he was careless, he was tripped by himself, fell to the ground, covered his chest and glared at Cao Ning angrily, and said tremblingly: "You, you want to, what to do, what to do?" old man, sue, s......ue, sue, sue."

Ying Gu held his breath in his chest, his eyes bulging, and he couldn't speak.

Cao Ning frowned, stepped forward quickly, squatted in front of him, and patted Ying Gu back.

Ying Gu came up in a breath, pointed at Cao Ning and opened his mouth again.

Cao Ning said coldly: "I can tell you, if you can't come up in one breath, you will just stand by and watch, don't you know who saved you?"

Seeing that Cao Ning didn't make a move against Gu, and even helped him smooth his breath, Fu Ren sighed in his heart.

Even if he Cao Ning stood by and watched.

With a look of resentment on his face, he shouted loudly: "The surname Cao, you don't pretend to be a good person here, if it weren't for you, how could Lord Ying be angry like this? ”

Cao Ning turned his head to look at Ying Gu, whose face was a little red, and then raised his eyes to look at Fu Ren, and as soon as his body moved, he had already stood in front of Fu Ren, grabbed his collar and raised it high, and scolded: "I don't know what to do, I don't bother to pay attention to you, but you don't know what to do, tell you, Ben will kill you, it's as easy as killing an ant." ”

After saying that, Fu Ren was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground.

Fu Ren's body moved slightly, and then he didn't move.

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly surrounded the general, and said nonsense: "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's dead, it's dead!"

Someone else whispered, "Don't you want to die?

At this time, Ying Gu also got up, pointed at Cao Ning and said angrily: "You, you are too domineering, so reckless of human life, do you still have the law of my Great Jin in your eyes? The old man has lived for so many years, and he has never seen such an arrogant person in my Great Jin." Do you really think that a big fist is justified?"

Cao Ning glanced at Ying Gu disdainfully, and said with a light snort: "I see that all your sage books have been read on dogs, so I don't know what to do, according to what the general has seen, the official position of giving you a bachelor is too high." ”

Ying Gu said angrily: "This official position is given by the emperor, how can you be a reckless man who can talk nonsense? The old man eats more salt than you eat rice, and I have never seen any strong winds and waves, so I tell you that you can't scare this official." ”

Maybe it was because Cao Ning helped him ease that breath, but now he is full of confidence to speak.

In his opinion, Cao Ning should not dare to do anything to him, a five-grade official.

He is the official of Fu Ren, so he can't sit idly by.

Besides, Fu Ren suffered this calamity because he spoke for him.

Cao Ning said disdainfully: "Don't rely on the old and sell the old in front of Lao Tzu, the truth is not that the salt you eat is on your side, tell you, if you eat too much salt, there will be only one end." ”

"Kill you!"

After speaking, Cao Ning no longer paid attention to Ying Gu, put his long sword into the sheath, and began to lightly tap the door of Xiangguo's mansion.
