[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, April 22, the time of the year, the edict of Tsing Yi Wei]

After Li Zhen persuaded Xu Ke, he took Mingyue with him, and together with Xue Tao, he hurriedly left the edict.

Before leaving the prison door, Li Zhen had an extra heart, and ordered Xue Tao to find a piece of clothing for the palace guard, and after changing it to Mingyue, he calmly walked out of the gate of the Tsing Yi guard.

That night, Li Zhen ordered Xue Tao to secretly escort Mingyue to a separate courtyard in the south of the city for good placement.

Naturally, Xue Tao also got a strict order from the King of Wei, and Mingyue's hidden affairs in the courtyard of the Wei King's Mansion were not known to anyone!

After a night of hurriedness, at dawn the next day, Li Zhen rushed to Daming Palace by car and hurriedly explained the good news to the Son of Heaven.

Li Chongsheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered Gao Liangshi, the chief administrator of the inner court, to go to the edict in person to deliver the decree on the spot.

In his will, the emperor not only pardoned Xu Ke for all his crimes, but also rewarded him with the imperial Kunwu sword again.

So, Gao Liangshi also brought two swords in his hands, one was the ancient artifact "Xuanhuang Sword", and the other was Xu Ke's original saber Kunwu Sword.

Gao Liangshi didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly rode on a fast horse, and hurriedly came to Tsing Yiwei.

This time, Gao Gonggong's footsteps were fast, and after he called Shen Huan, the governor of Tsing Yi, he walked into the No. 12 cell with Shen Huan and announced the decree loudly.

After Xu Ke knelt down to thank him, he took the two swords with both hands, and he put his Kunwu sword on his waist again, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

This time, Gao Liangshi came in a hurry, except for Shen Huan, the rest of the thousands of households in the cell did not have time to come to witness together, and the cell was inevitably much more deserted.

Shen Huan saw that Xu Ke had been exonerated by the Son of Heaven, so he stepped forward and congratulated:

"Xu Qianhu, congratulations, you finally don't have to live in the edict prison anymore!"

Xu Ke slightly bowed his hand, which was regarded as a return gift.

"Shen Dudu, you're welcome!"

Time is pressing, King Jin is still in the hands of Lu Huoli, the three of them don't care about talking, according to Gao Liangshi's instructions, Xu Ke will immediately set off and go to the foot of Jinding Mountain.

At that moment, Xu Ke followed Gao Liangshi and Shen Huan and walked outside the cell.

He walked through the heavy iron gates in the Imperial Prison, walked through every eaves in the Tsing Yi Guard, walked through every courtyard with flowers and plants, and walked outside the gate of the Tsing Yi Guard. The feeling he came all the way was as if he had walked from the bottom of the abyss to the top of the mountain and to the bright sky!

Those guards were full of amazement and envy, and they all told him that he Xu Ke was free from now on, and from then on he had become a "man on the earth", and he no longer had to stay in that dark prison!

Looking at the warm and brilliant sunlight outside the edict and above the sky, Xu Ke couldn't help but feel a sense of dreamlike in his heart......

Carefully calculated, he entered the edict prison on the fourth day of the fourth month of April, and today he was ordered by the saint to leave the edict, and this entry and exit was exactly 18 days.

Xu Ke remembered in a trance that he and Nangong were silent in Chang'an East City that day, and suddenly met a white-haired old Taoist who taught them a hexagram. According to the old Tao, he will be imprisoned in the near future, and this entry and exit is the number of two lines, 18 days!

Xu Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, could it be that everything in this world has a long fate?

......

At this moment, outside the gate of Tsing Yi Wei, there was already a carriage waiting, and the person driving it was Wang Jianling, the head of the Jin Palace.

Gao Liangshi sent Xu Ke to the car, and earnestly exhorted a few words, to the effect that if your errand goes smoothly, you only need to bring the prince of Jin back safely, and the saint will be happy!

Xu Ke nodded, didn't say much, and after getting into the carriage, he ordered Wang Jianling to drive to Jinding Mountain.

Along the way, Xu Ke was still smiling bitterly in his heart:

In his will, although the Son of Heaven forgave all his sins, he did not mention anything about reinstating him to his office.

In other words, although he doesn't have to be imprisoned at the moment, his identity is still a civilian!

The meaning of the Son of Heaven is very simple, everything depends on whether you can successfully rescue King Jin!

It seems that the emperor of the great cadres is still a little uneasy about his trip to Jinding Mountain......

Wang Jianling drove the carriage and carried Xu Ke, the two went all the way to the south, after leaving the Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City, they traveled for several miles, and when they arrived at a secluded place, Wang Jianling suddenly stopped his horse, turned around and walked into the carriage curtain.

"Lord Xu, the little one is Wang Jianling, the head of the Jin Palace. ”

"What's the matter with you, why did you stop?" Xu Ke said in surprise.

"Lord Xu, the little one is entrusted by Princess Jin to hand over this bag to the adult, please Lord Xu must accept it!"

Xu Ke took a small sheepskin bag handed over by Wang Jianling, and after opening it, he saw that it was neat inside, and there was a thick stack of silver tickets, each of which had a denomination of "one thousand taels". After a rough estimate, he knew that the silver ticket in this package was 50,000 taels!

Xu Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart, it seems that not only the Son of Heaven, but also a princess of Jin, they are all skeptical about whether they are willing to rescue the King of Jin.

With good intentions, after he got out of prison, he didn't even have time to go back to his home, and his family didn't have time to find it, and even before he could even take a bite of hot food, he rushed to the south of the city to save people, but in the eyes of these people, he still doubted his sincerity in saving people!

"What do you mean by this?" Xu Ke asked coldly with an unhappy face.

"Lord Xu, this is just a little bit of the princess's heart, don't be too little, if the princess can bring my prince back safely, the princess said, when the time comes, there will be another generous gift to thank you!" Wang Jianling hurriedly replied. He saw Xu Ke's displeased face, and said in his heart, My housewife gave you 50,000 taels of silver in one go, aren't you too little?!

"No need! you might as well bring this back yourself!"

Xu Ke returned the package wrapped in a stack of huge silver tickets back to Wang Jianling's hands.

Wang Jianling's face was a little embarrassed, and he sent the package to Xu Ke again, pleading:

"Lord Xu, the little one is just acting on orders, please be sure to accept it!"

Xu Ke's eyes widened, and he said awe-inspiringly:

"You mother-in-law and mother-in-law, I don't care if you delay the time to rescue King Jin!"

"Yes, yes, yes!

Wang Jianling had no choice but to hide the package again, urge the carriage again, and head south......

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a boulder at the foot of Jinding Mountain, Wang Jianling got out of the carriage, looked left and right, looked surprised, and kept scratching his ears and cheeks.

"What, isn't the place right?" Xu Ke asked. 591 net

"It should be here! However, I saw that night that it was the mouth of a cave, how did it turn into a boulder today?" Wang Jianling looked around, puzzled.

"If you think about it again, are you misremembering?"

"You can't be wrong! The small memory has always been very good, the scenery around here is right, it is this stone, a little abrupt......"

Xu Ke had no choice but to get out of the carriage and look around for other holes. He hung his Kunwu sword from his waist, holding the "Xuanhuang Sword" given to him by the emperor in his hand, and walked down the mountain, but looking for it, except for the huge mountain rock in front of the carriage, he still saw nothing.

Just when the two of them were at a loss, they suddenly heard a sudden sound, and the huge mountain rock in front of the two of them was moved to the side, revealing a deep cave inside.

From the cave, a beautiful and charming woman came out, it was Mao Jiaojiao, the "and alloy fairy" who had made Chang'an City boiling in the past two months.

This time, Mao Jiaojiao did not perform her soul-seducing charm as soon as she came up, she beckoned to Xu Ke and said:

"Master Xu, please come with me!"

Xu Ke looked at the cave in front of him and Mao Jiaojiao at the entrance of the cave, scratched his forehead, and couldn't help but feel strange. The fast boulder in front of him can be divided suddenly, which has made him extremely surprised, and today's Mao Jiaojiao, whose words are so calm and calm, actually surprised him even more.

So, Xu Ke followed Mao Jiaojiao into the cave, and Wang Jianling wanted to follow up, but he just looked into the cave, and was immediately frightened.

The cave was not too deep, Xu Ke followed Mao Jiaojiao, but walked about dozens of steps into it, and then walked into a stone room. The stone room is extraordinarily spacious, with stone beds, stone tables, stone benches, stone platforms and other things, if it is not for the very cold breath inside, it is also a good place made in heaven.

Xu Ke saw a person sitting cross-legged on a stone platform in the stone room. The man was about forty years old, very tall, very thin, and had long hair of silver white. He secretly said in his heart, it turned out that Lu Huoli, the famous "Flowing Frost Sword Immortal", was such a character!

Xu Ke then hugged his fist to Lu Huoli and said:

"Daqian Qingyi Wei inspected thousands of households Xu Ke, and I have seen Lu Guoshi!"

Lu Huoli's eyes opened slightly, and when he saw Xu Ke, he snorted coldly:

"Today, in this cave, I am not a national teacher, and you are not a thousand households!"

Xu Ke thought about it for a while, and he knew the implicit meaning of Lu Huoli's words, although he was the national teacher of Xiao State, but today he kidnapped the prince of Qianguo, and this matter has nothing to do with Xiao State. Naturally, in the other party's words, he also insinuated that he was just a prisoner who had just come out of the edict at this time, where was the thousand households of Tsing Yiwei?!

Xu Ke hugged his fists again:

"Junior Xu is not sick, meet Senior Lu!"

This time, he performed the salute of the rivers and lakes, and worshiped the generations of the rivers and lakes. It has been decades since Lu Huo became famous, and Xu Ke's "senior" is really reasonable.

"Did you bring what I wanted?" Lu Huoli asked condescendingly.

"What the seniors wanted, the juniors have already brought!However, the juniors want to see the King of Jin first!" Xu Ke said.

Lu Huoli gestured with his eyes to Mao Jiaojiao beside him, and Mao Jiaojiao walked into another side room in the cave and pulled out Li Ci, the king of Jin.

At this time, Li Ci was tied all over, his hair was scattered, his face was haggard, and his face was full of horror.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm ...... I have a lot of money and I ...... I'll give it all to you! Please don't kill me!" Li Ci was dragged all the way by Mao Jiaojiao, and he was already embarrassed, but he thought that the other party forcibly dragged him to the outer room at this time, he lost his patience, and wanted to deal with his "hostage", so he was terrified and begged for mercy.

"Don't be afraid, someone is coming to save you!" Mao Jiaojiao comforted Li Xi.

Li Ci struggled to sit up from the ground and looked up at Xu Ke. Although he and Xu Ke have never intersected with a few words, at the time of the court meeting, the two met many times after all, and naturally they knew each other.

"Xu Qianhu, thank God, you're finally here!" Li Ci saw Xu Ke and immediately exclaimed in surprise. It can be seen that his face is full of joy, not like a disguise, as if Xu Ke at this moment is a close friend he hasn't seen for many years.

Xu Ke saw that although Li Ci was tied up, there was no scar, and he was relieved. He raised the golden "Xuanhuang Sword" in his hand high and said:

"The Xuanhuang Sword that the seniors wanted, the juniors brought it!"

Suddenly, Xu Ke only felt that the figure on the high platform flickered, and Lu Huoli, who had a thin face, had already come to his approach, and the palm of his right hand suddenly loosened, and the "Xuanhuang Sword" in the palm of his hand had already arrived in Lu Huoli's hand.

"Xuanhuang Sword, Xuanhuang Sword!

After Lu Huoli recited the "Xuanhuang Sword" three times in a row, he shook the scabbard with his left hand, and the golden "Xuanhuang Sword" had already left the sheath and flew into the air. Lu Huoli moved from his right palm, and there was already a five-foot-long Flowing Frost Sword in his hand, only to hear the sound of "ding", his Flowing Frost Sword shot out, and the sword light flashed, and the golden "Xuanhuang Sword" was suddenly cut in two!

"Senior Lu, you, why did you destroy my treasure?!"

Xu Ke saw that Lu Huoli had just obtained the treasure, so he personally struck it into two, and couldn't help but be very angry.

"Hmph, do you think this sword is really the 'Xuanhuang Sword'?" Lu Huoli snorted coldly with an awe-inspiring expression.

"Isn't this the Xuanhuang Sword?"

"The Xuanhuang Sword is an ancient artifact, how can it be broken so easily? Fool! You have been deceived by your emperor!"

Lu Huoli was still condescending, looking at Xu Ke coldly, however, looking at the look on his face, there was no trace of surprise, as if such a result had already been expected by him.

"Impossible!" Xu Ke hurriedly walked three steps forward, leaned over and picked up the two severed swords on the ground, but after looking at it for a long time, he had to believe it, where could this be an ancient artifact?

When he was in the God King Pavilion and crossed over to another wheel of life, he had also heard of the name of this Xuanhuang Sword. Those are two ancient treasures that are as famous as the "Flood Bell", how can they be so vulnerable under Lu Huoli's Flowing Frost Sword?!

Xu Ke couldn't help but be extremely depressed in his heart, it seemed that what Lu Huoli said was not wrong at all, not only did the emperor fail to fully trust him, but the treasure he handed over to him for ransom turned out to be a fake sword!

Li Ci, who was sitting on the ground, had already ignited hope in his eyes, but at this time, his vision dimmed again. He seemed to be even more aggrieved in his heart, why did his father send a fake sword? Could it be that in my father's mind, I am not as important as a sword?

Lu Huoli sneered three times again, and said:

"You brought a fake sword and wanted to ransom people, do you see my 'Flowing Frost Sword Fairy' as a three-year-old child?"

Xu Ke raised his head and met Lu Huoli's cold gaze, he wanted to defend himself a few words, but he couldn't say anything.

Lu Huoli said again:

"For your sake, one 'elder'! Now, this Sword Immortal will give you two ways to go!"

"First, as long as you pick up this broken sword and kill this King of Jin, this sword immortal will not be embarrassed by you, and you will be able to return to your Chang'an immediately!

"Second, you can beg this Sword Immortal to release this Jin King, but you have to keep it yourself!

When Li Ci heard these two words, a look of horror suddenly appeared in his originally gloomy eyes, and he raised his eyes to look at Xu Ke, his face was already full of pleading and pleading......

"Which way, have you chosen?"

Lu Huoli asked with a smile.
