When Ahsan saw it, he immediately became furious. He summoned Liu Jingxuan to the Jiangning Governor's Mansion and reprimanded him for half an hour. Blame Liu Jingxuan for not paying attention to his rule, even the current saint knows that the imperial court has invaded Yangzhou, and you, the dignified four-grade prefect, don't even know about it.

Liu Jingxuan lowered his head and said nothing, until Ashan's anger almost disappeared, then he kowtowed and said: "Your Excellency Governor Qiqi, you are guilty of despicability, and I hope that your Excellency will punish you." ”

Ah Shan glanced at Liu Jingxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Forget it." Since there is no decree of punishment from the Holy Authority today, it is not easy for the Governor to do so. When you go back, I hope you can reflect on this matter deeply. There will be another time, and the Governor will not be spared. In addition, the holy decree has been issued, and the princess of General Fengyi will arrive in Yangzhou in the near future. At that time, you will do your best to help Her Royal Highness catch the thief. If you let them run, watch out for the heads on your neck. ”

Liu Jingxuan hurriedly kowtowed: "The lower officials must do their best." Your Excellency the Governor, please rest assured. ”

Ah Shan felt a little tired at this time, so he waved his hand: "Go down." ”

Liu Jingxuan said: "The lower official resigned." Then he bowed and retreated, until he exited the hall door, and then turned and walked out of the governor's yamen.

The next day, Liu Jingxuan returned to his Yangzhou prefect's yamen. Xiao Rang was already waiting in the palace. Liu Jingxuan told Xiao Rang about his trip to Jiangning Mansion, and then asked with some doubts: "Mr. Xiao, do you say that this fake Third Prince Zhu is still in Yangzhou now?"

Xiao Rang was stunned when he heard this, looked at no one around, and asked softly, "My lord, do you mean that you hope they are here, or do you hope that they are not there?"

Liu Jingxuan twisted his short hair and smiled slightly: "Of course I hope they are not here." This Yangzhou city can't withstand the slightest toss from them. With that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked to the backyard.

Xiao Rang looked at Liu Jingxuan's back, his expression was complicated, and finally sighed and walked outside the gate of the mansion.

Now Zhu Cihuan and the people he brought with him are settled in Guanyin Mountain in the west of Daming Temple. There is his rudder here, although the people who are rudder are not very strong in martial arts, but there are also one hundred and ten people, and the news of the exchange is also quite well-informed.

The helmsman of this Yangzhou rudder is named Chen Da, a middle-aged man in his forties. It has broad shoulders and a thick back, and a large waist and a round waist. Don't look at this person's rude life, but in fact, he is very thoughtful.

Zhu Cihuan got a secret letter from Chu Jinglian, and knew that the princess arrived in Yangzhou in the near future, saying that she wanted to arrest her. This made Zhu Cihuan a little panicked.

He called Chen Da to inquire about the situation: "Chen Da, who do you say I came to Yangzhou to leak the news?"

When Chen Da heard this, his nose was so hung that he was not crooked. But in the face of Zhu Cihuan, he didn't dare to show the slightest contempt.

"Third Master Qiqi, that day you openly let Chen Jie hammer the gate of the Jade Phoenix Terrace in broad daylight, and Yangzhou City is almost known to everyone. And then in the Chu Mansion, your personal protector Ghost Daoist seriously injured Lord Liu's god hunting Nangong Xuanyun, and I heard that it was also highly poisoned. How could Liu Jingxuan give up. The subordinates have found out that it is the court of Liu Jingxuan, the prefect of Yangzhou. Kangxi then ordered the princess Chunyu to come and arrest me. ”

Zhu Cihuan heard this: "This smashed the gate of the Jade Phoenix Terrace, it was indeed my idea." But fighting with Nangong Xuanyun was what the ghost Daoist insisted on. Now that this has come to this, what do you think we should do?"

Chen Da thought for a while and said, "Why don't you gather everyone tonight and discuss it." ”

Zhu Cihuan nodded when he heard this: "That's it." ”

The sun sets, and the jade rabbit rises in the east. The moonlight is like water, softly sprinkled on the slope of Guanyin Mountain, shining on the small temple on the mountain. The cool breeze caressed the trees and grass, making a rustling sound. Everything was so quiet and serene.

After Zhu Cihuan and the others finished dinner, they summoned their four protectors, the eight King Kongs, and the helmsman Chen Da to hold a meeting in the temple hall. Zhu Cihuan read out the secret letter from Chu Jinglian in public, and then threw it into the brazier with a fire fold.

Zhu Cihuan looked at all the people present and said lightly: "Everyone heard it today. Our whereabouts in Yangzhou have been exposed, and the imperial court sent Chun Yu to arrest us and others. Whether to go or stay, I hope you will express your opinions. ”

The ghost Taoist rolled his two blood-red eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's nothing more than some eagle dogs of the imperial court." If they don't come, it's enough, and when they come, they will be poor and let you wait for them to come. ”

Zhu Cihuan frowned when he heard this, and he glanced at Cheng Qiran on the side.

Cheng Qiran has been holding his stomach since he came to Yangzhou Mansion. At the beginning of Beijing City, if he hadn't made a decision on the spot, he was afraid that everyone would have already become prisoners and ghosts under the knife of the Qing court. The ghost Taoist self-defeating hero, and finally fled the capital in disgrace. When he came to Yangzhou Mansion, Zhu Cihuan instructed Chen Jie to smash the gate of Yuhuangtai angrily without consulting with him. What is even more intolerable is that Zhu Cihuan did not listen to his advice and openly provoked Chu Jinglian. In the end, the ghost Taoist Ye was able to do it for a while, and he injured Nangong Xuanyun, so he was in a dilemma today.

However, Qi Ran also knew that this ghost Dao man's martial arts were too high, and even if he joined forces with everyone, he would not be his opponent. If you turn your face, I am afraid that the consequences will be even more unimaginable. Cheng Qiran was depressed in his heart, and sat in the chair without saying a word. Zhu Cihuan looked at him several times, but Cheng Qiran still didn't see it.

Zhu Cihuan knew that Cheng Qiran was angry in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiran, what do you think?"

Cheng Qiran saw Zhu Cihuan asking, it was not good not to answer, turned his head and clasped his fists and said: "Third master, now this Yangzhou City and even Jiangsu Dao are probably preparing to welcome the princess's pure phoenix driver." If they arrive, they will inevitably lay a net in Yangzhou. Helian Qingtian was such a hero back then, but he still couldn't escape the clutches of the Qing court. I might as well wait to set off tomorrow and go to Shuzhong, and then turn around and go to Yunnan to hide for a while. ”

Zhu Cihuan nodded: "Brother Qiran is reasonable. What else do you have to say?"

The ghost man snorted: "Run, run, we are always running away." Third master, I have followed you for many years and have been wandering. You say, when will we have the day to come out, when will we end this fateful day?"

Zhu Cihuan's face turned red when he heard this. He knew in his heart that these brothers had followed him from north to south, almost all over the country. I once made a promise that the day of success would be the time when the princes would be crowned kings and marquis. It's just that he has been saying this for more than 20 years, and now that he himself is approaching the age of antiquity, he is afraid that this title of prince and marquis is hopeless. The ghost Taoist said such a thing in front of everyone today, which made Zhu Cihuan really unable to get off the stage.
