Chapter 55

It turned out that after Jiang Chengfeng brought He Mengjiao to Dengfeng, he went to visit Yun Feiyang, and it happened that Yun Feiyang was ordered to inspect the Songshan military camp and did not return, so the two did not see Yun Feiyang. Later, He Mengjiao used the excuse to go to Songshan to see Xu Zhi, Jiang Chengfeng had already glimpsed He Mengjiao's intentions, and secretly followed him, hiding in the deep pool under the waterfall, eavesdropping on the conversation between Xu Zhi and He Mengjiao.

And Jiang Chao came to Dengfeng this time to discuss major matters with Yun Feiyang on the secret order of Huainan Yang Xingmi and his father Jiang Wangshen. Jiang Chao saw that Yun Feiyang was not in the city, so he had to go to the Songshan military camp to see him, not wanting to meet He Mengjiao on the way back. Jiang Chao is very alert, and thought: This He Mengjiao has a close relationship with Xu Zhi, maybe Xu Zhi is nearby. He lurked near the dense forest, and when he saw Xu Zhi and He Mengjiao at the bottom of the waterfall, he couldn't hold it back, and jumped out first, delusionally trying to trade the secret of "Tui Bei Tu" with Xu Zhi through Bai Hongjian, and all this was clearly seen by Jiang Chengfeng, who was hidden under the waterhole.

Jiang Chengfeng and Jiang Chao originally wanted to join forces to capture Xu Zhi alive and get the secret of "Tui Bei Tu" from him. But Xu Zhi and He Mengjiao would rather die and jump into Wanzhang Waterfall one after another. The two of them were overjoyed, but they didn't want to give up, so they had to follow the turbulent water and look for a long time, but they didn't see any trace of Xu and He. Jiang and Jiang sighed for a long time, so they had to leave Songshan in a huff, return to Dengfeng City, wait for Yun Feiyang to return to the city, discuss the business first, and then secretly visit Xu Zhi's life and death.

Besides, Xu Zhi and He Mengjiao held the determination to die without humiliation, jumped into the waterfall, dizzy, and were washed down by the waterfall into a thousand-foot deep pool, which was where the Shaolin monks took water. After being hit by the huge current, both of them were unconscious, and they were swept into the small river of the valley by the turbulent current, and the water was relatively calm.

Fortunately, Xu Zhi was stranded by the current on the gravel by the river. Under the scorching sun, after a long while, Xu Zhi opened his confused eyes and found that he had only suffered some skin injuries, and his hands and feet were fine. Xu Zhi stumbled all the way and finally returned to the Shaolin Temple before dark.

Besides, He Mengjiao was brought to the foot of Taimur Mountain by flowing water, and it happened that day that Li Xiuyun took Liu Jingren, Yun Feiyang, Zhou Chen, Huifeng and other generals to inspect the garrison of the official army at the foot of Songshan Mountain.

The maid Hongye saw that Li Xiuyun had walked a long way up the mountain, worried that she was thirsty, so she hurriedly took the kettle to the river to get water, and suddenly saw a girl in yellow floating upstream. Momiji shouted repeatedly: "Princess, come and see! There is a woman floating in the river!"

Li Xiuyun and several generals came over when they heard the sound, and saw the woman in the river going down the river, ups and downs, not knowing life and death.

Li Xiuyun ordered Hui Feng to scoop up the woman in the river. Huifeng didn't dare to slack off, didn't dissolve the battle armor, jumped into the water, held He Mengjiao with both hands, put her flat on the shore, and waited for the princess to fall.

Li Xiuyun saw that He Mengjiao was very beautiful, his clothes were soaked, and he was unconscious, so he hurriedly asked his generals to avoid it for the time being.

Liu Jingren couldn't help but look at He Mengjiao a few more times, seeing that her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and her hair was covered with water droplets, just like a hibiscus out of water, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "It's a pity to be so old and good-looking!"

Yun Feiyang said to Li Xiuyun: "Princess, although this woman is good-looking, she has died, according to the foolish opinion of her subordinates, it is better to bury her on the spot, so that she can be buried in the ground as soon as possible!", Zhou Chen also nodded on the side.

Hui Feng hurriedly stopped: "Princess, my lords, according to the judgment of her subordinates, the woman has not yet lost her breath, and when her subordinates rescued her, they felt that she still had a trace of breath, and asked the princess to be merciful and save this poor girl!"

Li Xiuyun didn't speak, but just waved his hand to let Liu Jingren and the others leave, and the generals retreated one after another, standing in the distance.

Li Xiuyun stretched out her right hand and probed He Mengjiao's snort with her fingertips, seeing that she was as angry as a gossamer, she probed He Mengjiao's chest with her hand, and saw that there was still some warmth, her heart was overjoyed, and she hurriedly instructed Hongye to press down on He Mengjiao's lower abdomen.

Hongye used all her strength to eat, and pressed desperately a few times, only to see He Mengjiao slowly open her mouth and spit out a few mouthfuls of dirty water, and after a while, He Mengjiao slowly opened her eyes, and saw that she was lying flat on the grass, with two pairs of big eyes next to her looking at her, and hurriedly stood up.

Li Xiuyun hurriedly waved her hand to He Mengjiao, smiled at her kindly, and motioned for her to lie down. He Mengjiao still shook her body and stood up, she looked around, where was Xu Zhi's shadow, her heart ached, and she cried loudly: "Two girls, you shouldn't save me, let me die with Brother Xu!"

Li Xiuyun thought to herself: Could it be that this girl committed suicide for the sake of his Xu Lang? Why is her sweetheart also surnamed Xu? Li Xiuyun was stunned in her heart, but persuaded her: "Girl doesn't have to be sad, maybe your eldest brother Xu can also be auspicious and turn evil into good fortune!"

He Mengjiao saw that the girl in front of her was about the same age as herself, not only extremely beautiful and elegant, but also very kind-hearted, and also had some closeness in her heart, and whispered: "The little girl was a little out of shape just now, the two sisters saved my life, I don't know how to thank you, dare to ask the two sisters what to call them?"

Li Xiuyun also likes the amorous and righteous girl in front of her very much, and also learned He Mengjiao's tone and replied: "The little woman's name is Li Xiuyun, and this is my maid Red Leaves." I don't know what to call the girl, where is the fairy town?"

He Mengjiao replied: "My name is He Mengjiao, I live in Yuezhou, and I like to travel to famous mountains and rivers on weekdays!"

Li Xiuyun said with a smile: "Like Miss He, I don't want to stay at home, I like to walk around! If the girl is willing, why don't we call each other sisters?"

He Mengjiao replied happily: "Okay, Mengjiao is lacking a confidant sister, but I don't know which of us is the sister and who is the sister?"

Hongye saw that Li Xiuyun ignored the identity of the princess, and actually bent down to worship a wild girl who didn't know the details, she was very puzzled, and wanted to stop it several times, but she was afraid of making the princess angry, so she had to gamble with He Mengjiao and said: "Needless to say, of course my princess is the sister, and you are the younger sister!"

He Mengjiao was taken aback when she saw that Liu Xiuyun was a princess, and hurriedly apologized: "The little girl doesn't dare to climb the princess, and she asks the princess to take back her life!"

Li Xiuyun said with a smile: "Although the little sister was born in the royal family, she lacks a confidant sister, and I ask Sister He not to shirk!"

He Mengjiao saw that Li Xiuyun was sincere, and she saved her life, so she had to nod silently.

Li Xiuyun and He Mengjiao hit it off at first sight, the two sat side by side on the grass and said a lot of intimate words. In particular, He Mengjiao was very bitter in her heart, and confided in Li Xiuyun the troubles in her heart: mentioned how she found Brother Xu to take revenge, how she fell in love with him by mistake, and how she came to look for him thousands of miles away, who knew that she met the enemy when they first met, and as a result, the two of them committed suicide by jumping off the waterfall.

Li Xiuyun was fascinated by what she heard, and sighed: "Sister is really a blessing, having such a good confidant as Brother Xu, even if you die for him, it will not be in vain! It's a pity that Xiuyun doesn't have such a strange man by her side!"

He Mengjiao comforted: "My sister was born in the court, her status is noble, and there is no shortage of capable people and wise men around her, why should she be so discouraged?"

Hongye has not been able to figure out the princess's mind recently, since Ziyunxia met Xu Zhi, Li Xiuyun has obviously been much colder to Yun Feiyang, and many important things have bypassed Yun Feiyang and let Zhou Chen do it! Hongye was a little upset for Yun Feiyang and said: "Princess! What Miss He said is that in terms of character and martial arts, General Yun next to our princess will not lose to anyone......!"

Before Hongye's words were finished, he was interrupted by Li Xiuyun: "Hongye, Hongye, you are still young, when you meet it, you will understand!"

He Mengjiao seemed to understand Li Xiuyun's distress, and said with a smile: "Hongye, your princess doesn't think that General Yun is not good enough, but there are always shortcomings between them, such as adventures, enmity and hatred." If the relationship between men and women is tepid and calm, it is also a big regret in life!"

Li Xiuyun saw that He Mengjiao was very smart, and she broke through what she thought in her heart, and saw that she had a very straightforward temper and knew some martial arts, and wanted to keep her by her side, and asked, "What are my sister's plans in the future?"

He Mengjiao saw Li Xiuyun asking about her future, and said a little confused and lost: "Princess! What can Mengjiao do, just want to find Brother Xu! Mengjiao won't leave Songshan for a day if she doesn't find Brother Xu!"

Seeing that He Mengjiao was reluctant to leave Songshan, Li Xiuyun was secretly happy in her heart and persuaded: "My little sister has something to ask for, I don't know if my sister can agree?"

He Mengjiao asked: "What is the matter with my sister? As long as Mengjiao can do it, she will definitely serve!"

Li Xiuyun said: "My sister lives in Dengfeng County at the foot of Songshan Mountain, and there is a lack of a female guard with excellent martial arts, so my sister wants to hire my sister to take this position, first, our sisters can accompany each other day and night, and secondly, it is also convenient for my sister to search for news from Brother Xu in Songshan, I don't know if my sister is willing?"

He Mengjiao said modestly: "Mengjiao's martial arts are low, I'm afraid that I will live up to the princess's high hopes!"

Li Xiuyun comforted: "Even if you do my sister a favor!

He Mengjiao saw that Li Xiuyun was sincere, so she had to nod her head and agree, and then followed Li Xiuyun and his party back to Dengfeng City.

Besides, Jiang Chengfeng and Jiang Chao heard the news that Yun Feiyang had returned to the city, and went to his mansion overnight to meet him. Yun Feiyang prepared a banquet to entertain them, and after some staggering, Yun Feiyang asked: "Gang Master Jiang and Young Master Jiang have come to Dengfeng thousands of miles away, and it is an honor to be here! I don't know what the two of them have to do when they come to visit overnight?"

Jiang Chengfeng and Jiang Chao exchanged a look, Jiang Chengfeng first said: "General Yun, this time the old man and Jiang Gang Master came to represent Lord Yang of Huainan and Lord Gao of Eyue respectively, and they have important matters to discuss with the general!", after speaking, he took out a letter.

Jiang Chao also said: "General Yun, I also brought the letters of Lord Yang and my father, and I also ask the adults to take a look!", and also took out two letters after speaking.

Yun Feiyang finished reading the three letters and said with a smile: "The situation in this world is changing too fast! Alas! The Huangchao rebels are really difficult, and they are striking at the west with great momentum. However, Gao and Yang are really clever in this move, and let Gao Biao end the endgame in the future!"

Jiang Chengfeng said with a smile: "This is not all the credit of Lord Yun, Gao and Yang listened to the general's strategy, and when the Huangchao rebels crossed, they did not move, which not only preserved their strength, but also let Gao Biao Lao'er carry the black cauldron with unfavorable defense!"

Yun Feiyang said with a smile: "So the battle report of the imperial court, this general doesn't need to read it, he will know the result! The funny thing is that Princess Xiuyun is still very puzzled, and asked me why the imperial court has hundreds of thousands of troops in the south of the Yangtze River, why they are so vulnerable, I comforted her and said, Huang Chao is in the south of the Yangtze River to the east and west, and then to the north and south, the army has long been exhausted, as long as time passes, the court can win without a fight, and in a month or two you can prepare a celebration wine!"

Jiang Chao praised: "Yes, Lord Yun, I have always heard Lord Yang and my father praise you for your wisdom and courage in Jiangnan, this splendid country of the Tang Dynasty, and the beautiful princess, sooner or later will be your general!"

Yun Feiyang was very proud in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he said with a smile: "You go back and tell the two adults, now is the best time to do a big thing, the territory and army of the two adults are unscathed, as long as they jointly impeach the old man Gao to the imperial court, and it is not good to destroy the rebellion, and wait for the imperial court to remove Gao Ji's official position and let him replace him." This world in the south of the Yangtze River is ours!"

Jiang Chengfeng hurriedly flattered and said: "Yes, yes, our tall adults, and tens of thousands of children of the Changjiao Gang are waiting for General Yun's order!"

Jiang Chao also took the opportunity to show his merits and said: "The tens of thousands of ambush soldiers in our Jiang Temple are also ready to fight for the adults at any time, and please don't forget the merits of our father and son after the general ascends the throne!"

Yun Feiyang swore and said: "If there is such a day, General Ben swears to share the world with several people, if there is a violation, there will be such a sword!", after speaking, he broke the sword in his hand with a snap of his fingers.

It was the first time for Jiang and Jiang to see Yun Feiyang showing his martial arts, and they were secretly taken aback when they knew that he had deep internal strength.

Jiang Chengfeng boasted: "General Yun is so young, and his martial arts are so exquisite. There is a female disciple below, who is beautiful and fragrant, and wants to dedicate it to the general as a maidservant. It's a pity that she accidentally fell off the cliff the day before yesterday, and now there are no bones, Jiang Gang Master, do you say yes!"

Jiang Chao sighed and said, "Yes, General Yun! This female disciple of the Jiang Gang Leader has seen it before, she is exquisite and exquisite, and she should not be inferior to Princess Xiuyun in terms of talent!"

Yun Feiyang was a little drunk, and said with a smile: "There are still such beautiful women in the world, who can be compared to princesses, is it ...... , by the way, it just so happened that the princess saved a girl in yellow at the foot of Song Mountain yesterday, which is indeed dazzling. It's just a pity that she was taken by the princess, otherwise you would have seen each other!"

Yun Feiyang suddenly changed the topic and said, "By the way, Gang Master Jiang, I asked your faction to help find a broken book, have you found it?"

Jiang Chao stopped laughing and replied cautiously: "General Yun, just with those few remnant poems, there is no clue at all, although the sect members of this gang are all over the states in the south of the Yangtze River, but they don't know how to look for it, let alone where to look for it!"

Jiang Chengfeng also persuaded: "Yes, Lord Yun, we still have to focus on business." A broken book can be found slowly, don't be in a hurry!"

Yun Feiyang had no choice but to wave his hand. Jiang and Jiang accompanied Yun Feiyang to drink a few more glasses, and then left.

Besides, Li Xiuyun brought He Mengjiao back to his palace, and he got the battle report of the imperial court in Jiangnan, Li Xiuyun took the battle report, looked into the distance with his eyes, and said to himself: "This official army in Jiangnan is really a wine bag and rice bag, so vulnerable! Let the Huangchao rebels crisscross the east and west, across the north and south, this rich Jiangnan is probably full of gunpowder smoke and war, and it is no longer the peach-red and willow-green Jiangnan and the granary of the imperial court!"

He Mengjiao comforted: "Princess, this Huangchao rebel army is also at the end of the crossbow now, and I am afraid it will not last long in Jiangnan." ”

Li Xiuyun said: "I hope it will be like what my sister said! Huang Chao covets the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, and has no ambition to go north, once the rebels cross the river and go north, and the imperial army is all in the area of Xu Song, if the rebels bypass Caizhou to the west, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

He Mengjiao knew very little about the situation in the world, but she couldn't bear to see Li Xiuyun's brows tightened, and persuaded again: "Princess, we are all women, this world, the country, it is all men's business, we just need to do our duty!"

Li Xiuyun said with a smile: "This is where my sister's life is better than my sister's, my sister can not worry about the changes in the world, and my sister has to learn the situation and strategies of the world since she was born, this is our life!"

He Mengjiao replied: "Princess, all this is the fortune of the imperial court, and no one can change the situation in the world, unless there is the ability of an unpredictable prophet!"

Li Xiuyun repeatedly recalled He Mengjiao's words, and said: "Is this the fortune of the imperial court, the prophet of the unknown, by the way, unless you can find the secret of "Tui Bei Tu"!"

He Mengjiao was taken aback when she heard this: Why is the imperial court also interested in this strange book, I am afraid that Brother Xu will encounter a lifetime of big trouble, she deliberately asked: "Princess, what is "Tui Bei Tu"? Can it predict the future?"

Li Xiuyun said with a smile: "Sister, this "Tui Bei Tu" is a strange book, originally hidden in the court, and then for some reason it entered the people, this book hides amazing secrets, everyone wants to get it! It's a pity that no one knows where it is hidden!"

He Mengjiao said with a smile: "Princess, who said that everyone in the world is interested in it, I don't have the slightest interest in it, no matter who gets the "Push Back Picture" and sits on the country, the sun is not the same as rising from the east, isn't this girl's life the same?"

Li Xiuyun sighed: "Yes, my sister also knows: only ambitious people will be interested in the secret of "Tui Bei Tu", and the imperial court is looking for "Tui Bei Tu" just to reorganize the Tang Dynasty and let the people live a peaceful life as soon as possible!"

He Mengjiao thought to herself: Why don't you just follow this Princess Xiuyun, not only can you find Brother Xu, but also help Brother Xu find out the secret of "Tui Bei Tu".
