Granny Tang held his hand, looked him up and down, and said, "Yuanyuan, give grandma a good look, are you okay?" Those sand thieves, didn't you embarrass you?" Tang Yuanyuan smiled and said: "Grandma don't worry, I'm not doing this well!" said and said angrily: "Those sand thieves are really first-class villains, fortunately, this kind master saved me!" Chu Menglin listened to the conversation of his ancestors and grandchildren, and sneered: "I'm only afraid that your master is really a first-class villain." Tang Yuan shouted, "Shut up!"

Shen Shiyun said: "Remote son, what Miss Chu said is true. This matter is also very complicated, the cause and effect of it, and Brother Li should explain it to you later. ”

As soon as Tang Yuan saw Shen Shiyun, he was immediately stunned and couldn't take his eyes off. Seeing her eyes flowing, smiling smartly, wearing a pink shirt to set off her graceful figure, beautiful and incomprehensible, she was stupid for a while, and couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be that today Sansheng is fortunate to see the heavenly immortals descend to earth? Granny Tang smiled and said, "When are you going to be so poor?" Yun'er is a good girl, she was the one who comforted and took care of me during your captivity, and you should be grateful to her. ”

Tang Yuan hurriedly said: "Thank you Miss Yun'er for taking care of my grandmother." I...... In the next surname soup, the cursive word is remote, and I have to see the girl today, which is really ...... It's really ......" He wanted to say a few beautiful words, but he was in a big upset, Chu Menglin saw that he was embarrassed and his face was red, it was very funny, he put one elbow on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "When you see a beautiful woman, don't you even speak?" Shen Shiyun smiled slightly and said: "The remote son must be able to return safely, and the mother-in-law should let go of her heart." It's a joy for all. ”

Chu Menglin raised her eyebrows and said, "What, do you know now that I didn't scold your master wrong?" Tang Yuan glared at her and said, "So what? It's what you said, but I don't believe it!" Chu Menglin was so angry that her apricot eyes widened, and she suddenly heard Ji Dart's head shouting: "Go!" A knife slashed, hitting the right arm of the head of Kongtong.

This time the three of them besieged, and the head of Kongtong was whipped on the calf of Cui Dart. The nine-section whip was made of pure gold, which was extremely heavy, and the leg bones seemed to have been shattered, so he had to put all the weight of his body on one leg, that is, to defend himself against the enemy with one hand and one foot, which was very inconvenient. Li Yijie's long sword was slashed, and a sword pierced into his shoulder, an inch deeper.

The head of Kongtong said secretly: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, now the situation is very unfavorable to me, and it is always important to save my life." Immediately reached into his arms, made a false wave, and shouted: "Look at the dart!" The three of them were afraid that his plum blossom dart was powerful, and they hurriedly jumped close to him, and each of them raised their blades to protect their bodies. The head of Kongtong didn't delay any longer, turned around and ran, and when the three of them reacted, they couldn't catch up, Cui Darthead and Ji Darthead shouted and scolded.

Cao Zhenyan didn't care, turned over and dismounted, walked to the cart, lifted the cover, and saw that the black lacquer dart box was well placed in it, and secretly sighed, and said to Li Yijie: "Li Shaoxia helps him righteously, thank you for this, if he asks for anything in the future, the government should do its best." Li Yijie hurriedly said: "Don't dare." It's just that now there is a reluctant request, can you take the things in the dart box with me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Cui Darthead was the first to ask: "You are a martial artist, what do you want to do with this thing?" Ji Darthead said: "This can also be said, this kid is crazy! Isn't that wishful thinking?" Cao Zhenyan's face sank, and he said: "If you can't rob it, do you want to come to discuss it with good words? Chu Menglin said angrily: "I said it in person, but I came to rely on it, how can I be such a small device?" Seeing that Jiang Yanchen was always sitting on the horse and standing by, he hurriedly said: "You can also say something!"

Cao Zhenyan turned around and said: "Gongzi Jiang, it's not that I don't believe in my words, but it's a heavy object of the imperial court, and I can't be the master." Jiang Yanchen smiled and said: "It's okay, that box of stones, even if Lord Cao has the heart to give it away, it's not necessary." ”

Cao Zhenyan was stunned for a moment, and said, "What are you talking about?" At this time, he didn't care about the rules, and swung his sword to the dart box, the sword was a sharp weapon for cutting gold and jade. Everyone held their breath to take a closer look. Cao Zhenyan took a breath and raised his hand to open the box, but saw that there was a piece of black pressure in it, and it was really full of stones. With a "buzz" in his head, he took a step back, almost unsteady on his feet.

Everyone pointed and pointed, all of them were talking about "how can this be" and "it should really be a stone", but Tang Yuanyuan laughed and said: "It turns out that the priceless treasure you said is a stone, haha, Miss Yun'er, do you say it's funny?" Chu Menglin reprimanded: "Shut up......! I saw him stuff the dart box in, how ...... How could it turn into stones?" Jiang Yanchen said with a smile: "So lonely and unheard, martial arts people have their own advantages, and this Taoist master likes to collect stones, and there are also them." ”

Cao Zhenyan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said in his heart: "Since he knows that this box contains stones, he must have moved his hands and feet, and he should know where the real dart box is." I had to bite the bullet and say: "Gongzi Jiang, this thing is extremely important, I implore Gongzi to ...... Return the dart box. ”

Jiang Yanchen said with a smile: "This is natural, and being a brother will not make you embarrassed." Coming at this moment, Quan Wei has no other intention to see the excitement. This box of stones should have been prepared by you to cover up when you were in Changzhou? They were stolen by sand thieves on the ship, and you want me to arrest them, and you are giving me the opportunity to 'steal beams and change pillars'. However, the dart box is your Qing army's thing, since the original thing is returned, and now it is placed in the wine cellar of the Xian Building, you go to get it yourself. Cao Zhenyan wanted to try his best to retrieve the dart box, but he knew that it would be difficult to talk about it, but he never expected him to be so refreshing, and he was stunned by this surprise.

Chu Menglin's reaction was far more dramatic, running to Jiang Yanchen's horse, pulling his sleeve and shouting: "What are you talking about? How can the Broken Soul Tears be handed over to others?" Jiang Yanchen said leisurely: "It is absolutely impossible to break the Soul Tears, but I don't know what is the use of the siege artillery of the Qing government?" Chu Menglin said: "Siege artillery?" Cao Zhenyan said: "Yes, this dart is the artillery ammunition necessary for our army to capture Tongguan in one fell swoop." ”

Chu Menglin was stunned for a moment before asking, "What about ...... Isn't it very powerful?" Jiang Yanchen sneered: "In the past, Qing Taizu Aixinjue Luo Nurhachi fought for many years, and he did not taste a single defeat, but he also died under the artillery of the Ming Dynasty general Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan Inspector, and its power can be imagined. Chu Menglin stuck out her tongue and said, "I see, what the girl said, 'As soon as this thing comes out, the blood will flow like a river' must also mean this, but it also makes sense." ”

Li Yijie said apologetically: "Lord Cao, we thought it was the Soul Breaking Tear of the Martial Arts Supreme Treasure, and it caused you a lot of trouble along the way, so I didn't want to go." Cao Zhenyan said: "Li Shaoxia doesn't need to blame himself, the government knows very little about this, and he still needs to ask for advice." Now that the things he escorted have been recovered, and when he is happy, he has gradually become polite to Li Yijie.

Nangong Xue suddenly stepped forward quickly, and said in a crisp voice: "You once said that you are willing to do your best to help me, if you insist on pushing back, it seems that you don't know how to lift, now I do have something to do, do you want to help?" Cao Zhenyan said: "Say." Nangong Xue said: "This Yun girl has a letter to meet the regent, it is difficult for me to do it, if you want to escort the dart to it, how about allowing me to go with you?" Seeing the hesitation on his face, he said: "Don't worry, that dart is not what we want, and we will not fight it again." ”

Cao Zhenyan glanced at Shen Shiyun and thought: "Judging by her temperament, it seems that everyone is beautiful, what does she want to see the prince? Could it be the prince's daughter? Then he said: "When do you want to leave?" Li Yijie interjected: "The rivers and lakes are sinister, I really hope that Yun'er will find a place to live as soon as possible, and I want to start my journey immediately." Cao Zhenyan smiled: "You are even more anxious. ”

Shen Shiyun heard that the rush for days finally got what he wanted, and he couldn't help but be grateful, and said: "Thank you Brother Li, thank you Lord Cao, Yun'er really can't be repaid." Bending her knees to worship, Nangong Xue pressed her shoulder and said coldly: "I don't need to be so moved, I just want to take care of your affairs earlier, so that I can go to find soul tears with my senior brother with peace of mind." ”

Tang Yuanyuan was still reluctant, and said in a low voice: "Miss Yun'er, are you going to go now? When you enter the palace, I will ...... I'm a little scholar, if I want to see each other again in the future, it's very difficult......" Granny Tang patted him on the back and persuaded: "Remote, you just need to go home and study, and take the exam in a few months and do the top prize, what else can't you do?"

Tang Yuanyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "That's it!" and learned the etiquette of the rivers and lakes to hug Shen Shiyun and said: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows for a long time, we will have a period in the future." Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "Then it's a word." After a moment's contemplation, he took out a handkerchief from his shirt and gently placed it in his hand. Tang Yuanyuan saw that the handkerchief was embroidered with a delicate lotus flower, and it exuded a faint incense, and he was very intoxicated. Until Granny Tang pulled him away, she still turned back one step at a time, and kept waving goodbye.

At that moment, everyone went to the Qixian Building to transport the dart box out, put on the carriage and horse and went to the Regent's Mansion, Cui Dart Head and Ji Dart Head received the bounty and left first.

Before arriving at the mansion, I saw many guards, and the guards were very tight. Cao Zhenyan only said to him, "The prefect of Yanghe Mansion has sent the dart, and there is another important matter to ask to see the prince", the officer and soldier entered the report and returned after a short time, and said: "The prince said that Lord Cao has worked hard this time, so please enter the mansion for a while." "Lead the way. Cao Zhenyan ordered several officers and soldiers to find a proper place to place the dart box, and then followed closely. When the guards saw Li Yijie and the others all the way with him, they did not stop them, and they all saluted respectfully.

The palace is divided into parallel east, middle and west roads, there are five gates, seven rooms in the main hall, five rooms in the apse, seven rooms in the back bedroom, there are matching halls on the left and right, the east road and the west road. There are three courtyards each, echoing the buildings in the middle road, and the last part is a garden. The officer and soldier led him to the central hall and said, "Your Excellency, please." When everyone stepped inside, they saw that the furnishings in the hall were very simple, which was in great contrast with the luxury in the courtyard, but because there were few sundries inside, they felt spacious and comfortable. There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on both sides, Shen Shiyun once had the guidance of his father, he is proficient in this section, and he recognizes that they are all genuine works of famous artists, and he is secretly surprised.

Along the wall there are several mahogany cases, and the regent Dolgon sits on his side, wearing an official robe, and a flower feather is dragged behind his hat, and there are eyes on the feather, which is a symbol of dignity.

Cao Zhenyan saluted and said, "See the prince." Dolgon bowed his head and said: "There is Lord Lao Cao, this king should be rewarded by the emperor for meritorious deeds." He glanced at Li Yijie and the others again, and inquired about each other.

Cao Zhenyan said: "These young heroes...... It was a friend I had made on the way, and some of my subordinates had been in trouble, and if it weren't for their help, this task would not have been so smooth. In addition, the sand thieves who were in all directions were able to return to the Qing Dynasty, which is also their credit. Talking about introducing them one by one, when it came to Shen Shiyun, he only vaguely said something and skimmed it. lest she really be Dorgon's illegitimate daughter, and she would embarrass the prince. Dolgon's expression was unusual, and he smiled: "That's really great, please sit down!" and ordered his subordinates to bring more chairs.
