Volume 12 Chapter 3 (1)

Walking out of the Wanzhuan Pavilion, Yang Ning caught a glimpse of Boss Chu being there to probe his brain, worried, as soon as he saw Yang Ning come out, an embarrassed look appeared on his face that he wanted to come over but did not dare to move his body, his cold eyes couldn't help but thaw a little, but he was a little gloomy when he saw the four guards with ghost faces in Tsing Yi. On the surface, these four young people seem to have integrated into the identity of the attendants, as soon as they saw Yang Ning come out, they not only bowed down, but also stood on both sides, putting on a posture of respectful listening, but they were young after all, through the bronze masks they were wearing, they could still see the anger in their eyes, and Zhou was even more unruly and arrogant, and his gaze at Yang Ning was also more rejection than respect, obviously unwilling to be requisitioned by Yang Ning as an attendant. Yang Ning secretly snorted coldly, but he didn't pay attention to them, walked through them, didn't look at them, nodded to Boss Chu, and walked towards the river.

At this time, there is a gorgeous light boat that can accommodate more than 20 people tied to the wharf near the water, and a brocade tooth flag is hung high on the mast of the stern, hunting and dancing in the autumn wind, and the Pixiu pattern on the tooth flag is faintly visible, this is the tooth flag of the Yue Guo Mansion, if this flag is hung, it can be almost unimpeded in the south of the Yangtze River, and its status can almost be compared to the flame flag of the lord of Huofeng County. In fact, since the previous dynasty, Pixiu is a sacred object of the royal family, and the family house and temple can certainly use Pixiu as a sacred object in the town, in addition, even if it is a prince's house, it is not possible to use the Pixiu pattern on the clothing and accessories, let alone weave and embroider the Pixiu pattern on the flag. However, Tang Kangnian, the Duke of Yueguo, returned to Chen and made great contributions. In addition, he is married to the royal family, and he is the uncle of the current emperor, so he was allowed to use the Piya Flag, Tang Kangnian was also proud of this, and issued a strict order, unless it is a very close confidant of the local people, or there is an urgent matter, it is not allowed to use the Pixiu Tooth Flag, so as soon as the ships see this gorgeous light boat. But he retreated, although he saw the crowd outside the Wanzhuan Pavilion, he didn't dare to come close to see the excitement. Yang Ning naturally didn't know these reasons, and only looked at the clothes of the guards left behind on this ship. Knowing that it was Shi Ming's boat, he jumped on the light boat without hesitation, and said indifferently: "Start the boat." ”

Although the two guards who stayed on the ship were not of high status, they were also Shi Ming's cronies. As soon as he saw Yang Ning's appearance and bearing, he knew the identity of this young man, where he dared to stop him from getting on the boat, but he didn't have the courage to drive the boat. There was a look of hesitation on his face. Boss Chu was originally waiting outside tremblingly, and he also knew that it was a bit rude for Fang Cai to talk nonsense, lest Yang Ning give himself a hard time. Until Yang Ning came out and nodded to him. Then he happily followed. Jumping into the boat in three steps, he looked at the two guards hesitatingly. He said in a rough voice: "Look, didn't you hear what our son said, why don't you hurry up and sail." Although he is now an attendant, he is used to being the leader of the water kou, and there is a kind of majesty between his words, the two guards looked at each other, and one of the guards plucked up the courage to say: "Without the order of the marquis, the villain will not dare to sail the boat." Before the words fell, he felt a big fist in front of him getting bigger and bigger, he subconsciously wanted to dodge, his body had not moved, but he saw a pair of cold and ruthless eyes, Sen Han's fierce gaze was like a sharp sword, as if to penetrate his body, his heart was cold, his steps couldn't help but slow, a sharp pain and dizziness came from his head at the same time, and when he was soaked in cold water and woke up, he realized that he had been punched into the water by Boss Chu, and even the saber on his body was snatched by Boss Chu。 The guards of the Yue Guo Mansion are all proficient in water, he paddled a few times and surfaced, and saw Boss Chu waving his steel knife there, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "This broken knife is too light, but it's a pity that Lao Tzu's weapons didn't brought, thieves and birds, no, Prince, where are we going?"

Yang Ning glared at Boss Chu coldly, but he didn't reprimand him for being rude, for some reason, the raging anger in his heart seemed to be only a little less in front of this rough man, or this was the reason why he accepted this person as an attendant that day, looked at the river with his hands, and said lightly: "You don't know where Yang Jun and Yan Zishuang are at the moment, right?"

The Luo brothers who had rushed to the shore and were getting on the boat in turn were all slightly surprised, Luo San was a little hesitant in his heart, but he had no intention of covering up his whereabouts for the people in Cuihu, so he said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Yu was rescued by Fairy Yan and has returned to the Xianyang Hall of Jiankang Palace, Fairy Yan is also there at the moment, but Jiankang Palace is the Palace of the Son of Heaven, it is heavily guarded, and outsiders cannot trespass. Summer"

Yang Ning said indifferently: "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you, let's go to Jiankang Palace." ”

Luo San hesitated for a moment, secretly made a few gestures, and waved away the guards who were originally at the helm, so that the two brothers could take over the work of driving the boat, no

A light boat went along the Qinhuai River, although the boats on the river were like clouds, but everywhere they arrived, there were no boats at all to dare to fight for the road, the boat was extremely fast, and it took half an hour to enter the Qingxi that ran through the Jiankang Palace from the tributaries of the Qinhuai River. When passing through the water gate of Jiankang Palace, the guards guarding the palace saw the Pixiu Tooth Banner and let him go without interrogation, which made Luo San inevitably a little surprised, lest Yang Ning blame him for prevarication, but Yang Ning just stood on the bow of the boat, looking indifferently at the clouds in the distance, not to mention blaming them, as if they sent him to the ends of the earth, he didn't care. Looking at Yang Ning, who looked calm and indifferent, Luo San only felt that the boulder in his heart was getting heavier and heavier, what did this young man do, after his lover disappeared, he saw that he coerced everyone fiercely, but he was not in a hurry to find it, did he really want to find the sword, or was he ready to take the opportunity to kill, Luo San only felt that the clouds in front of him were foggy, making it difficult to peek into the truth, this rumored ruthless, but reckless and less wise teenager, seemed to have become elusive, let the four brothers follow the Demon Emperor, the real purpose may be to master his actions, a controlled beast, even if the teeth and claws are sharp, the harm is very limited, but the most terrible is the uncontrollable flood, wreaking havoc or will be thousands of miles away.

After entering the palace, the waterway became extremely narrow, fortunately this light boat can still pass unimpeded, barely traveled three or four miles, the waterway turned around under the hill, bypassed the mountain beam, suddenly opened up in front of the eyes, a small lake with a radius of five or six acres appeared, it was late autumn, the lake was full of withered grass and smoke, high to the waist, even if it was devastated by the autumn wind and frost, it did not bow down, this small lake was almost isolated from the palace outside, it seemed particularly cold and gloomy. There is a hexagonal pavilion on the shore of the lake, under the pavilion is a small bluestone wharf, although the pavilion and the wharf are slightly old, but the wooden fence of the pavilion pillar and the wooden plank on the wharf are not much damaged, and the weeds between the gaps in the stone steps are also cleaned up, obviously someone often cleans and sorts out, but it is not deliberately repaired, even the shrubs everywhere are maintained in their original appearance, obviously this place is deliberately hidden so that it is easy to enter and exit.

Boss Chu looked strange and asked suspiciously: "Son, are these guys lying to us, how can the palace be so desolate?"

Luo San was calm, but he glanced at Boss Chu coldly, but Luo Wu was like a fire, and said coldly: "If you don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense." ”

Boss Chu was about to have a seizure as soon as he stared at him, but he was frightened back by Yang Ning's cold eyes, although Yang Ning was ignorant of the world, but he had lived in the Luoyang Palace for many years, although he had hardly left Qifeng Palace, but he also knew that this kind of relatively secret access channel in the palace often arranged the entrance in a cold and remote place, so that some people with special identities could use it, so he didn't feel strange. But he carefully discerned, but he heard some vague breath, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he said coldly: "Before the guest landed, the master was already tense, but he was too cautious, His Royal Highness King Yu is preparing to give me a dismount?"

Boss Chu heard the change of color, he is used to being a water thief, naturally he can see that the location of this lake is very good, the four sides are slightly higher, only a few pairs of bows and arrows can suppress the boats entering along the waterway, so that he will feel uneasy when he sees it, if it is not so, he will not rashly open his mouth to provoke just now, subconsciously clenched the steel knife, wondering where he would jump into the lake from if someone condescended to shoot arrows, and where he would land to counterattack. Even the Luo brothers felt that their situation was embarrassing now, and they couldn't help but be a little worried, and each of them clenched their sabers, ready to break through to the shore at any time.

There was silence on the shore of the lake, no one answered, after a time of incense, the Luo brothers couldn't help but have doubts, wondering if Yang Ning was wrong, even Boss Chu, who was convinced of Yang Ning, felt that it was possible, and couldn't help but peek at Yang Ning, but Yang Ning looked at the sky with his hands in his hands, and his eyebrows were full of unruly and indifferent aura, and he had no intention of explaining. Luo San gritted his teeth and made up his mind to let the two brothers dock the boat, anyway, he couldn't always stay in the lake, but his boat had just slid a few feet away on the lake, and there was a bowstring sound from all sides, and a rain of arrows fell on the water between the light boat and the pavilion impartially, Luo San waved his hand, and the light boat stopped abruptly on the lake, and then turned his head to look at Yang Ning, waiting for him to give orders.

Yang Ning lowered his head slightly, and said indifferently: "I came by boat to give you a chance to get the news, and now that you have used an arrow to prevent me from going ashore, I must have made a decision, I only ask you, does Qingping's disappearance have anything to do with you?"

Yang Jun's slightly regretful voice came from the shore and said: "No, if I had known that such a thing would happen, this king would never sit idly by." ”
