Chapter 182: Return to Middle-earth
Fu Qingyun and Huang Xuancheng held a grand wedding in the Temple of the God King, stayed on the Magic Island for a few days, and then chose a good day with a beautiful wind and sunshine, bid farewell to Huang Tianji, Huang Yuyan and others, and took the little beast Kang Kang to cross the sea by boat to prepare to return to Middle-earth.
Huang Tianji originally wanted to prepare a large sea boat for them and send a group of sailors to escort them to sea, but Huang Xuanxuan insisted on being alone with Fu Qingyun, so he asked for a small sea boat to hang sail and go to sea.
The two swam the sea together, and the newlywed Yan'er was in a different mood at this time.
When the two came to the sea, they saw that the sky was blue and the sea was wide, and the blue waves were not waves, so the two of them had a lot of fun, and simply jumped into the sea to swim, leaving the little beast Kang Kang on the boat to look at the sea lonely and sigh.
Fu Qingyun's exercises are special, he can breathe without relying on his mouth and nose, and can gallop in the sea at will like a fish. The two of them were one husband and wife, and Xuan Xuan relied on the true qi from Fu Qingyun's mouth to dive into the depths of the sea for the first time, and saw the colorful fish, red and white corals, and huge whales in the sea, and both of them were excited.
After half a day of playing, a group of catfish just swam over. On a whim, the two of them met the school of fish and tamed the three, and then one rode on one and the other floated to the surface dragging the boat, and the three fish crossed the sea with two people and one beast.
One day later, two people and one beast landed on the shore and came to Donglai County. Fu Qingyun took Xuan Xuan to burn incense in front of Yang Junru's tomb, and then bought two healthy horses to travel all the way south, ready to throw himself into Liu Xiu.
The two walked all the way to inquire about the news, and only then did they know that the situation in Middle-earth had been completely reversed. Emperor Jianwu Liu Xiu had already captured the eastern capital of Luoyang, and the soldiers worked together to run the prefectures and counties under his rule vigorously, while Chang'an City was fighting each other and was extremely chaotic. In order to dominate the power of the Xuanhan Dynasty, Lin Zhengjun successively killed Chen Mu, the king of Yinping, and Wang Feng, the king of Xuancheng, while Wang Kuang, the king of Biyang, and Zhang Wei, the king of Huaiyang, took advantage of the chaos to escape from Chang'an and joined the Red Mei army that was attacking Chang'an. Who knew that the hearts of the Xuanhan Dynasty had been dispersed, and Lin Zhengjun saw that the building was about to fall, so he actually tied up Liu Xuan, the puppet emperor of the Xuanhan Dynasty, and surrendered to the Red Mei Army. Lin Zhengjun relied on the huge strength of the "Zhengdao Alliance", still held an important position in the Red Mei Army, and was willing to act as a striker, leading the Xuanhan army that had surrendered from the Xuanhan Dynasty, and coercing the Central Plains Wulin Sect that was taken by him to fight against Liu Xiu's Han army.
Along the way, the prefectures and counties under Liu Xiu's rule have been a picture of all industries waiting to be prospered and thriving. Along the way, the teahouse Washe is everywhere telling the heroic story of Liu Xiu, the emperor of Jianwu, and the streets and alleys are making up songs and rumors to praise Liu Xiu's great achievements.
At noon on the third day, the two came to the outside of Luoyang City, and saw a team of high-headed Imperial City Guards patrolling outside the city from a distance. The first person, dressed in red and black Xuantie armor, was majestic, and it was Zhong Zhengxiong, the former disciple of the Hengshan faction. A deputy general next to him is also an acquaintance of Fu Qingyun, Fang Jungang, a former disciple of the Huashan faction.
Fu Qingyun was overjoyed, hit his horse over, and shouted: "Senior Brother Zhong, Senior Brother Fang!"
Zhong Zhengxiong and Fang Jun just saw that it was Fu Qingyun, and they quickly greeted them, and said excitedly: "Qingyun, I really didn't expect it to be you." ”
Fu Qingyun laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Zhong and Senior Brother Fang would actually put on military uniforms and become the leaders of the guards. ”
Zhong Zhengxiong arched his hand towards the north and said, "It is our blessing to be able to follow Emperor Jianwu." ”
Guanxuan also came up immediately, and Zhong Zhengxiong and Fang Jungang also saw it during the Battle of Kunyang. Fu Qingyun talked about his wedding with Xuan Xuan on Magic Island, Zhong Zhengxiong and Fang Jungang repeatedly expressed regret and asked Fu Qingyun to make up for the happy wine.
The four of them fought side by side, and Fu Qingyun asked, "Senior Brother Zhong, is there any news of my senior brother and sister?"
Zhong Zhengxiong said happily: "Junxin is now Lang Zhongling, and he is the emperor's personal guard. Because of your relationship, Emperor Jianwu has a special affection for the people of Chu Ji Villa, and your senior sister Chu Xueyi and a group of villagers in Chu Ji Villa are also working in the court. ”
"That's good. Fu Qingyun said with relief. Since the previous time when Lin Zhengjun held hundreds of people hostage in Chu Ji Villa and forced Fu Qingyun to throw himself into a cage and was rescued by Song Wantong, the people in Chu Ji Villa have all thrown themselves into Liu Xiu's Han army.
"Qingyun, are you planning to meet the emperor?" Zhong Zhengxiong asked.
"Exactly!" Fu Qingyun nodded.
Zhong Zhengxiong said: "You came at a bad time, the emperor drove the expedition in person, and he just started yesterday." ”
Fang Jungang said: "The morale of my Han generals is like a rainbow, and now the situation is very good. General Feng Yifeng broke the red eyebrows in Kundi yesterday, and the main force of more than 100,000 people was forced to go south to Yiyang. The emperor was worried that the rebellious army would harm the people, so he personally led the army to Yiyang this morning to block the red eyebrows from going south. ”
"The emperor is eloquent and strategic, benevolent, righteous and virtuous, what a rare good emperor. Zhong Zhengxiong praised: "The emperor's majesty is vast, and his bare eyebrows are not afraid, and the only thing I am worried about now is that devil." ”
Fu Qingyun was shocked and asked, "What will happen to the animals?"
Zhong Zhengxiong said: "That devil is invincible with his evil skills, I'm really worried." ”
Fang Jungang said: "That devil led the Xuanhan officers and soldiers to surrender Chimei, but I didn't expect that Chimei was also a rabble, and he was overwhelmed by my big man." The devil was willing to be a pawn, and led a group of martial arts scum to assassinate the emperor many times, and the two castle masters of the original Yueyangmen Iron Fan Scholar, Qingyangguan Aoki Zhenren, and Luoyun Castle were unfortunately killed. ”
Fu Qingyun nodded gloomily, thinking of the handsome iron fan scholar holding an iron fan, the honest Aoki Zhenren, and the two fat and thin castle masters of Luoyun Castle, he couldn't help but sigh.
Zhong Zhengxiong said: "Fortunately, there is a main force to protect Fangguan, otherwise the consequences are really unpredictable." ”
Fu Qingyun hurriedly said: "I'll rush to meet the emperor." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, let's go to the city to fill our stomachs. Fang Jungang said.
"It's okay!" Fu Qingyun was indeed hungry, so he nodded in agreement.
So Zhong Zhengxiong and Fang Jungang took Fu Qingyun and the two into the city, found a magnificent restaurant to eat, Zhong Zhengxiong sent a team of people, and Fang Jungang personally escorted Fu Qingyun and others to see Jianwu Emperor Liu Xiu.
When it was dark, everyone rushed to Yiyang. At this moment, the Han army Chen Chong was in the east of Yiyang, and set up a position to prevent the Red Mei Rebellion from moving south.
The Son of Heaven drove the expedition in person, and the defense was naturally thorough. Fu Qingyun and the others had just arrived at the Yiyang border, and a spy had already stepped forward to inquire, and when they saw that it was Fang Jungang, the deputy leader of the pro-guard army, they were allowed to leave and report to the great Sima Wu Han.
As soon as Fang Jungang and the two arrived at the army camp, Fu Qingyun saw a person in a bright yellow robe hurrying out of the Luan tent from a distance, it was Liu Xiu, the Jianwu Emperor, followed by Wu Han and several other confidants.
Liu Xiu's face was excited, although he was in a hurry, he still did not lose his composure, and he was full of kingly spirit.
"Your Majesty!" Fu Qingyun hurriedly ran over, wanting to go up and give a hug, but seeing that the surrounding Praetorian Guards were kneeling down the mountain and shouting long live, Fu Qingyun hesitated for a moment and was ready to kneel down to greet him.
He knelt down to Liu Xiu, not because Liu Xiu became the emperor, but because he sincerely respected this generous brother who regarded him as a brother of flesh and blood.
Liu Xiu caught up with Fu Qingyun in an arrow step, and said excitedly: "Qingyun, you and my brother, can you have any vulgar etiquette." ”
"Your Majesty!" Fu Qingyun said: "You are already the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how dare Qingyun make it again?"
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "You are my brother who is connected to my heart, don't talk about those rules." ”
Fu Qingyun took Liu Xiu's hand and said, "There must be rules, otherwise how can the emperor deter the world?"
"Okay, listen to you! However, when there are no outsiders, I still want to hear you call me Brother Xiu. ”
Fu Qingyun whispered: "Okay, but the emperor, you can't say that you will listen to me, the whole world will listen to you." Also, now that you are the Son of Heaven, you can't say 'I' anymore, you have to say a widow. ”
Liu Xiu shook his head and laughed: "This world is fought by brothers together, we will always be blessed and shared brothers, I can't call myself a 'widow' and chill the hearts of my brothers." (According to the history books, Emperor Jianwu Liu Xiu still called himself "I" after the emperor, in order to express his brotherly love for the soldiers under his command who lived and died together, and was open-minded and tolerant, and did not kill a hero after the achievement of the emperor's cause, and often drank and chatted with the soldiers of the past at the same table, which was deeply loved by everyone.) )
Xuan Xuan stepped forward, bowed, and exclaimed: "The emperor is auspicious!"
Liu Xiu said happily: "Miss Guanxuan, my family, I miss you." ”
Liu Xiu's wife, Yin Lihua, is familiar with Xuan Xuan, and the two have met in Jianyang City, which is very good.
Xuan Xuan said: "When I come back this time, I have to disturb my sister-in-law." ”
Fu Qingyun said: "Brother Xiu, Xuan Xuan and I have already married on the Demon Island. ”
Liu Xiu was overjoyed, praised again and again, and said happily: "Qingyun, brother and sister, you have to hurry up and spread the leaves, in the future, our two little cubs will study and hunt together in the palace, aren't you happy." ”
Xuan Xuan's face was blushing, and Fu Qingyun pretended to be serious: "The emperor's decree, Qingyun obeys the order!"
Liu Xiu laughed, and was about to take Fu Qingyun's hand and walk towards the Luan tent, when a team of imperial guards hurriedly came. Fu Qingyun was overjoyed when he saw it, the leader of the guards was none other than Chu Junxin, followed by Bai Ruxue and Qinglian, who were also in military uniforms.
When Bai Ruxue and Qinglian saw Xuan Xuan, they both knelt down and said excitedly: "Miss, you are back." ”
When Xuan Xuan saw the two of them, he was also extremely excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up and talk about the things on the Magic Island.
Chu Junxin strode forward and gave Fu Qingyun a bear hug, and said excitedly: "Qingyun, I knew you would be fine." ”
Fu Qingyun said happily: "Senior brother, Sister Xue Yi, and the villagers are all right?"
Chu Junxin nodded and said, "The emperor is gracious, we are all very good." ”
After the excitement, Chu Junxin woke up and lost his etiquette in front of the emperor, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the last general will be rude, please punish the emperor!"
Liu Xiu laughed and said: "Brotherly love, what a crime, hurry up and enter the account together." ”
As soon as he entered the Luan tent, Fu Qingyun saw a person sitting in the Luan tent, his eyes slightly closed, it was Qingshi, the main party of Qingyang Guanguan.
When Fang Qingshi saw Liu Xiu bring Fu Qingyun and the others into the account, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said happily: "Qingyun, you are back!"
"Real person, I'm back. Fu Qingyun respectfully saluted Fang Qingshi.
The little beast Kang Kang was also very happy when he saw Fang Qingshi, and he used to shout around Fang Qingshi "Scandium Scandium".
Fang Qingshi coughed a few times, hugged Kang Kang and said happily: "It's good to come back!"
Fu Qingyun saw that Fang Qingshi's hands were covered with red spots and blood poison, and he was stunned: "Real person, what's going on?"
Fang Qingshi said: "Last night, that demon came with a group of people to assassinate the emperor, and I confronted that demon and was poisoned by his blood. ”
Liu Xiu said gratefully: "That animal killed a lot of us, if it weren't for Fang Zhenren's strength, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to get out." ”
Fang Qingshi said: "This demon's evil skills are getting more and more powerful, I have to force the blood poison to my palm now, and I can't use my internal force for the time being." If he comes again, I can only fight for my old life. ”
"Real person, let me see. Fu Qingyun turned to Fang Qingshi's side and squatted down.
Fu Qingyun grabbed Fang Qingshi's right wrist and crossed into a true qi, only to see that the black lines on Fang Qingshi's palm gradually faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fu Qingyun's internal force contains the aura of heaven and earth, which can tolerate and resolve everything, and is a panacea for internal injuries and poisonous injuries.
Fang Qingshi said happily: "Now that the blood poison is gone, the poor Dao only needs to recuperate for another ten years to recover." ”
Fu Qingyun said: "Although the real person can recuperate with peace of mind, leave the matter of protecting the emperor to me." ”
Fang Qingshi nodded with relief and said, "When you and Miss Guanxuan come back, I can also breathe a sigh of relief." However, that demon has advanced to the killing path, and his martial arts have reached the peak, so be careful!"
Fu Qingyun said: "Qingyun remember!"
