In a small forest, the war drums were beating, and Zhang Qichao was surrounded by the four masters of the Cangyang faction.

Shi Aofeng raised his knife to take the lead in the war, and the five birds broke the soul knife, tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves, and bears, and the moves were as long as the big river went east, endlessly. The knife is as fierce as a tiger descending the mountain, and the waves crash on the shore. Each knife has the power of a thousand jun, the power of ten thousand jun.

Zhang Qichao was holding a sword in his hand, and his figure was moving, all in a clever flash. Always able to skillfully defuse the opponent's offensive. Seeing that Shi Aofeng could not win, Wan Yuan entered the battle with a sword, forming a tight knife net for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Qichao hugged the yuan to boost his strength, and the internal force was at the end of the sword, and each sword had the power of tens of millions, forcing Shi Aofeng and Wan Yuan to retreat again and again.

Seeing this, Shangguan Qingyu reappeared in the goshawk claw and attacked behind Zhang Qichao. Grabbing, grabbing, hugging, and collapsing, all show the mastery of grappling. Zhang Qichao turned around and swung his sword to resist, and there were several sonorous sounds, causing Zhang Qichao's sword to shatter into several pieces.

Zhang Qichao abandoned the sword and used his fist, splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, and showing the wonder of martial arts. The three of them besieged and showed their strengths, but Zhang Qichao remained calm and calmly coped.

Just as Xia Yi was about to join the battle, he suddenly heard a cannon sound, which was a signal to retreat. Everyone had to give up the opportunity to besiege Zhang Qichao and slowly retreated.

When everyone returned to the Cangyang faction, they were greeted by Sun Xun in filial piety clothes. Looking at the tears on the face of the little junior sister, everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Shi Aofeng asked eagerly, "Little junior sister, who are you wearing filial piety clothes for?"

"My dad him, he died. Sun Xun sobbed and replied, "My mother asked me to wait for you here, saying that as soon as you arrived, I would take you to the back hall to see her." ”

Shi Niang has something to see them, it must be for the position of the head of the Cangyang faction. Each of the four had a look on their faces, either nervous, contemplative, frowning, or hesitant.

The four of them followed Sun Xun to the back hall, while Lu Zhenshan and the others had been waiting for a long time. All of them looked sad and depressed.

"You're finally back. Xia Yudie saw that everyone had arrived, and said with a serious expression: "Your master passed away due to illness. When he was dying, he repeatedly instructed me to make his will public. ”

Everyone immediately held their breath and waited for the master to convey her will.

Xia Yudie announced: "From now on, Shi Aofeng will serve as the head of the Cangyang faction. ”

Shi Aofeng was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that it was still the master's mourning period, so he hurriedly put away his joy and showed his sorrow.

Shangguan Qingyu glared at Shi Aofeng, hung his head and didn't say anything. Wan Yuan and the others knew that they had nothing to do with the position of the head, so they didn't say much.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, I will definitely do my best to let the Cangyang Sect flourish under Senior Brother in the future. Xia Yi had no objections, but took the lead in expressing his loyalty.

When Shi Aofeng heard this, he said modestly: "In the future, I will have more support from the second junior brother and the third junior brother!"

Xia Yi looked happy, and Shangguan Qingyu had to force a smile and said that he could.

Xia Yudie instructed: "You all go down, Shi Aofeng stays, I have something to explain." ”

"Yes!" All the disciples, including Sun Xun, retreated, leaving only Shi Aofeng.

Xia Yudie said in a deep voice: "Aofeng, do you know how your master died?"

Shi Aofeng knew that there must be a reason for his master's sudden illness and death, so he deliberately said, "Didn't you die of illness?" ”

"No, it was he who rebelled against the imperial court, was detected by Feng Huaien, and was killed. Xia Yudie pointed the finger directly at Feng Huaien.

Shi Aofeng exclaimed: "I didn't expect this to be the case, did the master tell the disciple this, did you have any explanation? If so, please say, disciple listen." ”

Xia Yudie sighed and said: "Now that the wind and rain in Jiangnan are continuous, the safety of the Cangyang faction is all tied to you, there are some things I must tell you, so as not to make a mistake and regret it too late." ”

Seeing that Shi Aofeng was listening carefully, Xia Yudie continued: "King Pingnan's ambition is already known to passers-by, and he even did the thing of kidnapping the emperor. Your master colluded with King Pingnan, and things echoed. Your master sent you to intercept Zhang Qichao halfway for this reason, and your master personally went to find Feng Huaien for this reason. ”

The more Shi Aofeng listened, the more frightened he became, thinking that the original master intended this, no wonder he would suddenly send us to intercept Zhang Qichao.

"Gonggong Feng is willing to let go of the Cangyang faction, also for the sake of the Cangyang faction for a hundred years. You must remember to keep your distance from King Pingnan, and at the same time not to offend him too much. and find ways to stitch up our relationship with the Zhang family. Xia Yudie finally explained.

Shi Aofeng replied respectfully: "Don't worry, my disciple has written it down." ”

Xia Yudie took out the seal letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Aofeng.

Shi Aofeng took the letter and went with a thousand thanks.

"Auntie, the senior brother is very grateful to you!" Xia Yi walked out from behind the screen.

Xia Yudie said angrily: "If you hide behind the screen, aren't you afraid that Shi Aofeng will find out?"

"His martial arts are not as good as mine, so I'm naturally not afraid!" Xia Yi was full of confidence, and after a change of words, he asked, "Next, what should my nephew do?"

Xia Yudie advised: "Don't do anything, honestly complete every task that Shi Aofeng gave you, and the rest will come naturally." ”

Xia Yi listened, although his face was embarrassed, he still nodded in agreement.

Time flies, and when Ye Fengcheng had no good plan to save the emperor, Zhang Qichao arrived. Emperor Ye Fengcheng was robbed and all the things he tried to rescue him, and he told Zhang Qichao the truth.

Zhang Qichao comforted: "I can't blame you, even if I am present, I may not be able to handle it more appropriately than you." ”

"Do you think Your Majesty will be in the hands of King Pili or King Pingnan, when I went they almost fought. Ye Fengcheng felt remorse when he thought of the situation that day, "Fan Jiedu urged me vigorously and asked me to send troops quickly, which led to the later results." ”

Zhang Qichao thought for a while and replied, "I think there is a chance that it will be in Baiyun Palace." In whose hands the emperor is, of course, he can make people have a certain amount of authority, but at the same time, he also allows himself to fall into the eyes of the public. With King Pingnan's old scheming, he will not fail to see through this. The White Cloud Palace, which took several months to build, was the most suitable place. ”

"Since the White Cloud Palace is carefully built by Pi Li, it must be full of mechanisms. Who else in the world can have a glimpse of the White Cloud Palace except Pi Lizhi herself and her land?"

Zhang Qichao said with a smile: "Among Pi Li's apprentices, two of them must know the place. One is the third apprentice Bai Fang, who has retired with Xiao Cuo, and her current whereabouts are unknown. The other person is Mei Yanxin, the sixth apprentice, who is currently accompanying Tuoba Shiruo Jiangnan to play. ”

"You're going to Jiangnan and go to Mei Yanxin, right!" Ye Fengcheng felt that it was difficult to succeed, "She is already Pi Li's apprentice, how can she betray her." And you said that she and Tuoba Shiruo are together, and Tuoba Shiruo represents the Dingbei Mansion. ”

"It is precisely because Tuoba Shi is a person from the Dingbei Mansion that there is hope for this matter. Zhang Qichao's words were so conclusive that Ye Fengcheng couldn't help but believe it.

Ye Fengcheng said: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." I'm ready for you to come back. ”

"Okay!" After Zhang Qi responded to Ye Fengcheng, he went straight to Jiangnan without stopping, and he had already guessed where Tuoba Shiruo was playing.

Just when Zhang Qi was rushing around and Wei Che returned to the Pingnan Palace, Feng Huaien had already returned to the palace in the capital, and at this moment he saw the Empress Qian head-on.

"Gonggong Feng, you can be regarded as back. Do you know Ouchi has become a mess? As soon as Queen Qian saw Feng Huaien's nagging, "The prince came to ask for peace two times in three days, and he knew exactly what he was thinking about the palace." Several other princes also came to ask for peace, and the palace was blocked left and right, afraid that they would not be able to parry. ”

Feng Huaien said with relief: "Rest assured, the old slave has made arrangements and will let His Majesty return to Beijing safely." ”

"That's good!" Queen Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but she heard the little eunuch say that the prince and several princes came to greet the emperor together.

Queen Qian was shocked and said hurriedly: "In the past, they came separately, but this time they came together, I am afraid that there is a intention to force the palace." Feng Huaien, what should this palace do now?"

Feng Huaien responded: "You just have to see the crown prince and a few princes, there are all the minions here, and I guarantee that I can convince them, and I won't come to disturb your Feng Jia in the future." ”

"That's good, I'll see later. Empress Qian immediately put up a shelf and ordered the little eunuch to pass on the crown prince and the two princes to meet him.

Can Zhang Qichao persuade Mei Yanxin as he wishes, and how should Empress Qian deal with the prince's forced palace? Please see the next chapter, "The Nine Dragons Are Different."
