On March 11, the 11th year of Taizong Yongxi, the whole country mourned.

Shangzhuguo, Qiguo Gong, and Zhenyuan General Chen Shuo passed away today.

On this day, Emperor Taizong personally announced the edict, posthumously sealing Chen Shuo's "Zhongwu" nickname, and the edict said: Haoming's founding of the country began from the siege. Qing followed the first emperor, after several conquests, swept the unification, and became a great cause. The three saviors are in danger, seven are trapped in front of the enemy, they are in danger, they are loyal to the danger, they are strong against the enemy, and they are insulted and martial. Therefore, it is said that he is loyal to the martial arts and deserves to enjoy the temple court of Taizu.

The whole capital also seemed to be quiet, and the young master of the Chen Mansion, who used to like to ride a horse and gallop on Kyoto Avenue like chasing the wind, knelt in front of the spirit today, crying bitterly.

It was also on this day that the eleven-year-old Chen Mingye swore to his father in front of his grandfather's spirit that he would study martial arts hard from now on and live up to his grandfather's expectations before his death.

So three products in three years, the name shocked Jinghua.

It's just that Taizong died, and after the first ascension to the throne of the Son of Heaven in this dynasty, someone reported that Chen Bai, the son of Chen Shuo, secretly went to the Northern Desert, and the repeated reviews found all kinds of evidence.

Only three years after the death of Zhongwu Hou, his son was given to die, and his grandson Chen Mingye, a young man who was famous in Beijing, remembered the legacy of his ancestors and left his bloodline, although he was not executed, but he was also sentenced to ten years of exile.

"Ten years...... How can I go back safely in the past ten years," he was still in rags, holding the penny in his hand, and his eyes looked deep ahead, "Ten years have passed, and who still remembers the Chen family, even if I am dead, no one will say anything more." ”

In this way, escaping first and being wanted is indeed no different from sitting still. The former can also grasp more initiative.

Chen Mingye showed a self-deprecating smile, and turned his head to look at the listless girl sitting on the raft: "What's the matter, haven't eaten enough?"

"Eat, eat, eat, eat!" Cai Ling'er glared at him angrily, "I'm thinking about how far it is here, my ass is going to sit out of sores!"

Chen Mingye was helpless: "We have been drifting for several days, and it should not be far away, if you can't stay up, we will go ashore and ask someone nearby first." ”

"Okay," Cai Ling'er immediately came to her senses when she heard this, "Then let's go ashore and ask." ”

Chen Mingye expected her to do this, so he propped up the bamboo raft and leaned all the way to the shore.

"Let's grill some fish first. When she came to the shore, the girl looked at him expectantly.

"Who just said that you will know how to eat if you eat?" Chen Mingye glanced at her playfully.

As a result, Cai Ling'er immediately said like a cannon: "Bearded, please, you're the best, I'm hungry!"

“...... You have an aura, you can't open the valley yet?" Chen Mingye glanced at her.

"If you can't, you can't!" the girl's head shook like a rattle, but her face was colorful, "My aura is something I learned by myself, and although it's very powerful, I still have to eat food." ”

When Chen Mingye heard this, he reached out and touched her head hard.

"What the hell, my hair is messed up!" the girl pouted unhappily.

The corners of his mouth raised an arc: "It's quite smart, it's just that I'm shorter, and I really need to eat more to grow taller." ”

"You're short!" Cai Ling'er listened to the little face's flush, and glared at him with her hands on her hips and said, "I'm just young, when I'm as old as you, I will definitely surpass you!"

"How old are you?"

"Hmph, I won't tell you. The girl turned her head stubbornly.

Chen Mingye glanced at her: "You said that the young master of the Blackwood clan is going to marry you, and it's not small to think about it." ”

"That's because he forcibly 'married' the robbery!" Cai Ling'er was even more angry when she heard this, "That's why I said he was a bastard! ”

"I can see it," Chen Mingye smiled, turned around happily and went to find firewood to build a fire.

"Big beard, big liar, big villain!" the girl realized that she seemed to have leaked something, and shouted angrily at the figure not far away.

Chen Mingye smiled at the corner of his mouth and ignored it.

He didn't realize that for the first time in three years, he was smiling so easily.

Southern Xinjiang is mountainous, but there are also plains and fertile lands among the mountains. The two of them walked all the way, and finally saw curling smoke rising in front of them in the distance.

"It looks like there's someone. Cai Ling'er said happily.

"It's better to be careful, I'm a fugitive now, and you're a fugitive. Chen Mingye hurriedly grabbed the person next to him who was about to rush out.

"I know, I won't get through it easily," the girl bit her lower lip as she looked at her little hand he was holding, "You let go of me." ”

Chen Mingye smiled: "You are very ghostly, if I let go, you rush out with that aura, I will not be able to catch up no matter what." ”

"Hmph, even if you are self-aware," the girl glanced at him triumphantly, and then said unhappily, "Is my Cai Ling'er so reckless in your heart?"

"That's not it, not only is it not reckless, but it is also wilting tightly. Chen Mingye glanced at her, but saw the girl's angry stare at her, and then restrained her smile and said, "But sometimes it's quite cute." ”

Cai Ling'er lowered her head and said softly: "You let go, I just don't run around." ”

Chen Mingye didn't tease her anymore, let go of his hand and said, "Let's go quietly, if we find someone who has checked and audited, just bypass it from afar." ”

"Good. Cai Ling'er nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

The two of them cautiously leaned all the way to the cooking place, and when they got closer, they found that it was a Taoist priest-like person roasting something to eat.

"It wasn't a village, it was just a person. Cai Ling'er said stupidly.

"It's okay, just ask for directions, it's the same. Chen Mingye was relieved, "Let's observe and see how he is." ”

However, Cai Ling'er's focus has been on something else: "His roast chicken looks delicious!"

"......" Chen Mingye silently stretched out his hand and grabbed her, "I'll go, don't go." ”

"Why!" Cai Ling'er said indignantly, "You can't beat me!"

"......" Chen Mingye glared at her, "If he is a villain, when he sees you delicate, he will be delusional and add to the trouble." We'd better get into less trouble, give me a moment, and I'll come when I go. ”

When the girl heard the word "villain", the hand he held quietly tightened, "Bearded, your martial arts cultivation is only three grades, will it be too dangerous." ”

Chen Mingye sighed: "If something happens to me, you can hide it as a back hand, just take care of it." ”

"Uh-huh. Cai Ling'er nodded hurriedly.

Chen Mingye came out of hiding with confidence and walked towards the man.

"Dao Chief, Pingshui meets, fortunately we will meet!" he deliberately said aloud to show light.

The Taoist turned to look at him with a puzzled face, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly took a few bites of the roast chicken in his hand, and said vaguely: "Fortunately, I will be lucky." ”

"Daoist, this is ......" Chen Mingye said when the other party gnawed the roast chicken in his hand like a wind, and when he walked in front of the Taoist, the roast chicken in the other party's hand was already only a skeleton.

Only then did the Taoist Shi Shiran put down the roast chicken in his hand, looked at Chen Mingye calmly, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he was out of the world: "Young man, what you said, Lao Dao didn't hear it clearly just now." ”

"Well, it's nothing," Chen Mingye said helplessly when he saw his appearance, "I don't know if it's a local?"

"No, no, no, the old way travels all over the world, naturally the four seas are home, and how can they belong to one side. As he spoke, the Taoist secretly reached out to wipe off the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, and by the way, he shook off the dust and wiped his hands.

"If this is the case, the Taoist chief thinks that he is a person with a lot of experience, and the juniors ......" Chen Mingye was just about to speak.

"Miao Zan, Miao," Lao Dao smiled and interrupted him, "Lao Dao has traveled in the rivers and lakes for many years, and his experience is not rich, but he is somewhat knowledgeable. ”

"That ......" Chen Mingye was about to speak, but was interrupted again.

"The old way walks the rivers and lakes, relying on nothing else, but the ability to tell hexagrams. If the young man has any doubts in his heart, how about letting Lao Dao calculate a hexagram for you?" The Taoist smiled, looking dusty, but he silently erected a cloth that had fallen at his feet.

"......" Chen Mingye finally understood why Lao Dao had not allowed him to speak all the time, and it turned out that he was asking questions to collect money......

He glanced at the cloth banner in Lao Dao's hand, and saw that the banner was red and yellow, with a few big characters on it, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - iron hexagram is an immortal, anything can be counted!

"Dao Chief, I want to ask you about something. "The point is that he's penniless now, he's a piece of.

"Inquire about the news of the world, count all the opportunities, and start with ten things. Lao Dao glanced at him, with his eyes closed.

"Dao Chief, look, I look like this......" Chen Mingye was just about to cry poor, but was interrupted again.

"Lao Dao has always come to see people and act, and you can see at a glance that you are a dragon and phoenix among people, how can you care about this mere ten cents, and you don't bargain or bargain. Lao Dao waved his hand.

"I see," Chen Mingye said with a smile, "I don't know if the long fortune calculation is accurate, if the calculation is wrong, what should I do?"

When Lao Dao heard this, he immediately opened his eyes, and slammed the flag in his hand into the ground: "I am an immortal in the iron hexagram, I can calculate everything, I can calculate everything, how can I make a mistake!"

"It's better to be like this, the Taoist chief guesses who I am, if I guess correctly, I will pay for a hexagram, if not, let me inquire about one thing, how about it?"

"No, I guessed what if you don't admit it. Lao Dao hurriedly shook his head, "I don't do loss-making business." ”

"Guess my age, then. Chen Mingye changed his words.

"It's not up to you. Lao Dao continued to shake his head.

"Then I'll pull a handful of grass, guess how many, how about that?"

"Hmm......" Lao Dao hesitated for a moment and slapped his thigh, "Okay." ”

Lao Dao didn't notice that the corners of Chen Mingye's mouth raised a slight arc.
