Chapter 2: The Westward Journey

In the early morning, the vast sky was cloudless.

The wooden hairpin was wrapped in green silk, and Su Hanshan, who was wearing a green shirt, walked out of the Meiyuan Mansion.

He hung a gourd with a qiankun inside his waist, and the gourd contained two books on the interpretation of Buddhist beads and the use of rune formations. Holding the pitch-black Mozi Spring and Autumn Sword in his hand, he walked to the carriage that had already stopped outside the door, Su Hanshan turned to look at Su Nuannuan and smiled: "Don't send it." ”

Su Nuannuan didn't speak, her eyes flashed with tears, and she nodded reluctantly.

In this cold and ruthless palace city, for more than ten years, it was only after meeting her brother Su Hanshan that she truly experienced the warmth and affection of affection. Now that my brother is investigating the assassination case with his own life, he has brought Sister Wuyang and Zhishu Zhihua with him, and she can only stay in the mansion, so she will inevitably feel lost.

So she secretly vowed that in the future, she would follow her teacher to devote herself to cultivation to improve her strength, hoping that one day she could solve problems for her brother.

Holding the walking wooden sleeper painting box in her arms, Huang Shang'er, who was a little taller after unsealing the seal, patted Su Nuannuan's thin shoulder very boldly: "Nuan Nuan don't worry, don't worry about your brother, there is a sister-in-law." ”

The four maids of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting hid their faces and smiled.

In this regard, Su Hanshan felt helpless......

Put the gifts and other items into the spacious carriage, Su Hanshan, who was holding Mozi Chunqiu, looked at the mansion, but still didn't see Li Tianxia's figure, and estimated that the strength of the wine had not retreated, and Su Hanshan no longer delayed.

The two maids drove the carriage and ran all the way out of the city.

......

Imperial City Dali Temple Prison.

A sparse stream of light poured through the skylight, illuminating the dark and dead cell.

The iron gate was raised, and the fat man, who always had a slight smile on his face behind the door, habitually wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel, and left the cell under the guidance of the jailer.

The fat man was followed by four figures.

Seasonal rain and shepherd boys, Lou Baiyue and Ren Pingsheng.

......

Zhongshan Shendao Camp outside Tiandu City.

The mountain wind blew the military flags and waved them in a row, and the air was sometimes filled with shouts of training and killing, so that the Bald Mountain was full of slaughter and depression that should not have been in early spring.

Gu Changting, the general of Yunlu who was equipped with a Qiutang knife at his waist, led a good horse and walked side by side with Gu Xidao, a general who was not confused.

This medium-sized and slightly thin Su Tang army had 10,000 enemies in his hands, stopped, turned to the only junior of the Gu family who had high hopes and said: "Without asking for your wishes, my uncle made his own decisions and let you get involved in the bottomless power struggle quagmire above the temple, have you ever complained about your uncle in your heart?"

Gu Changting, who was much more mature and resolute than when he was ordered to escort Su Hanshan back to the north, shook his head: "My nephew understands my uncle's hard work, in order to make the Gu family invincible, if it were me, I would do the same." ”

The general, who only had seven fingers left in Rong Ma's life, patted Gu Changting on the shoulder with relief: "Your responsibility is not to assist His Highness the Ninth to find out the hidden truth behind the assassination, but to protect His Highness's safety, do you understand?"

Gu Changting hesitated for a moment.

He naturally understood the difference between the two, and although he didn't dare to agree with his uncle's statement in his heart, he still listened: "My nephew remembers." ”

The general nodded.

Gu Changting got on the horse, clenched his fists with both hands, and then beat the horse and drank lightly, riding in the dust.

......

In the East Fence Mansion, the fourth prince Su Yunchan sat quietly in front of the window to read books and admire chrysanthemums.

The personal maid Xie Hongjian walked from the front yard with the freshly brewed tea. Once in the room, place the tea tray on the table and fill the tea cup.

Xie Hongjian stepped forward to serve tea: "Childe." ”

Su Yunchan turned around and took the teacup and asked, "My ninth brother has already set off?"

Xie Hongjian said: "Yes. ”

Su Yunchan stared at Man Yuanju thoughtfully: "How could you think of going to investigate the case in person, at this time, staying in Tiandu should be the safest, isn't it?"

Xie Hongjian said: "Could it be that Dali Temple has found some important clues, and His Royal Highness the Ninth can't wait?"

Su Yunchan was silent.

......

Outside the city gate in the west of Tiandu City, a convoy slowly drove out of the official road.

In the convoy, there was a seasonal rain from the Sword Gate of the Evil Sect of the rivers and lakes, riding a scalper.

Naturally, the morning glory is still a little shepherd boy with a shepherd flute pinned to his waist.

Juxtaposed with the seasonal rain is a beautiful Tiandao gatehouse in a black dress to worship the moon. In front of Lou Baiyue, there is Ren Pingsheng, who is wearing a hat and a robe, holding a bamboo cane and a mango shoe at his feet.

These are four eccentrics, eccentrics who seem out of place with the entire convoy.

Except for the four killers released by Su Hanshan's request and Gu Changting, the guards around him were all fresh faces, masters of Dali Temple who were born in the rivers and lakes and now serve the imperial court.

Chen Tianguan, a fat man with congenital kidney deficiency, sat opposite Su Hanshan in the carriage, inadvertently glanced at Qin Wuyang, the sullen little ancestor Huang Shang'er who had been staring at him as if hostile, swallowed his saliva, and then wiped his forehead.

How could this old fox in officialdom not see His Royal Highness's intentions for the Yellow Lady, nine times out of ten in the future, he will be included in the prince's mansion, no matter how bad it is, it is also the princess level, where do he dare to offend?

But he offended Qin Wuyang.

At this moment, Chen Tianguan, the cool official of Dali Temple, who was in charge of punishment in the Sutang Imperial Court, wanted to shout to His Highness about the great injustice, and then shook the pot, saying that the release of Lou Baiyue was completely His Highness's idea from beginning to end, and had nothing to do with him......

There were only three people in the carriage, and even if Su Hanshan was engrossed in studying the Buddhist bead explanations, he could also perceive the strange atmosphere in the carriage.

Although he had the heart to resolve it, he was suffering from not having any proper way, thinking that he couldn't let Wuyang and Nalou Baiyue fight again, and let out his anger, right?

Now Lou Baiyue is definitely not the opponent of the martial arts sixfold Taixuan realm, even in Bai Xiaosheng's book of the Hundred Soldiers, Chang'an Yue ranks second only to the red Buddha Yi Fei Si Li. At that time, it is difficult to guarantee whether this unruly girl will make a move, and she will not know the severity, and it will be a big deal.

For this reason, Su Hanshan had to pretend to be immersed in the book of sages.

I thought, I have wronged Lord Chen, so I will carry this black cauldron first.

......

To the west of Tiandu City, there is a continuous river, and the river is not barren. Around and at the foot of the mountain, there are several small towns that are quite prosperous under the influence of the capital.

Jumping over that river, you will reach the boundary of Mizhou.

At about dusk, a group of five horsemen appeared on the main street of the noisy Mizhou City.

The leader was dressed as a scholar, wearing a green scarf and holding a feather fan, and it was Liu Xuance, the owner of Qingfeng Village, who served Su Hanshan, the self-proclaimed strategist of the Nine Emperor Princes, and occupied three of the six realms.

The four people who followed closely behind Liu Xuance were none other than others.

The second leader hated Guanbei, Luo Lang and Feng Songhan, as well as Xu Du, a veteran who had served in the army. The time when these five people left Tiandu was half a day earlier than Su Hanshan.

Liu Xuance knew that Su Musha, the seventh prince of Su Tang, had secretly established a shadow organization, called Jinfeng Drizzle Building, to carry out those shady deeds. Even above the court, few people know about it.

As a strategist under the command of the Nine Emperor Princes who monopolized the three realms of national policy, raising troops, and poisoners, Liu Xuance has been able to repay the grace of his encounter since he died with all his might.

Therefore, he planned to form Xingluo, an organization similar to the Golden Wind Drizzle Building, to clear all the gloom in the darkness for His Highness the Nine. If needed, he will not hesitate to help His Highness ascend to the ceremony!

The five of them are the beginning of this star Luo.
