Xiaoxing lives at night, hungry and thirsty. Towards Zimo, twilight on the red dust.

Qifeng Mountain is thousands of miles away from the capital of Dachu. Xiao Qingfeng was just in an ordinary hurry, and he didn't hurry up. Even so, it only took six or seven days to reach the capital.

Standing outside the gate of the capital with a horse, watching the many pedestrians coming and going. Xiao Qingfeng recalled the first time he came to the capital. At that time, he had just broken through to the Qi Refining Realm and was about to go to the Yuanyang Sect. But I was attracted by the words of Jing Shen's capture, and came to see the grand gathering of apprentices. But I didn't expect to encounter a chance.

"I'm also revisiting the old place, right?" Looking at the plaque on the city gate, Xiao Qingfeng touched his nose and muttered.

With the crowd all the way into the city. Fortunately this time, nothing happened. He lived in the capital for a while, but spent most of his time in the small courtyard of Jing Shenyu.

Xiao Qingfeng didn't want to trouble him this time, so he casually found an inn to live in.

At this time, it was just after noon, and because it was the beginning of June, the weather was hot. Xiao Qingfeng was busy himself, and after going downstairs, only the shopkeeper chatted with a few small servants.

"Knock knock! Shopkeeper, bother, is there any major event in the capital recently?" Raising his hand, knocking on the counter, attracting everyone's attention, Xiao Qingfeng asked.

If the shopkeeper is fifty years old, he must be gray, and he can open an inn in the capital, and the scale is not small, not to mention others, but there is no shortage of eyes. Looking at Xiao Qingfeng in a tight-fitting Taoist robe and carrying two long swords, he didn't look low-key, but he wasn't sharp, and it looked very natural. At first glance, he is not an ordinary martial arts person.

yawned and replied, "If you want to talk about a big matter, it must be the prince of Zhennan marrying the emperor's favorite princess Niyang." ”

"Princess Niyang?" Xiao Qingfeng didn't know much, and he didn't specifically inquire, so he naturally didn't know who this Princess Niyang was.

The shopkeeper walked out of the counter, sat on a table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Qingfeng, explaining: "This Niyang princess is the favorite princess of the emperor today, where the current queen is, the prince has the same mother and sister." ”

"Since she is the princess who is loved by the emperor, how could she marry in that place in Shanzhou?"

Xiao Qingfeng took the tea and said suspiciously. Frankly speaking, that place in Shanzhou is not bad, but it is too far away from the capital, and it is normal for a princess who is not favored to marry in the past. But when the favored princess marries, there is a problem.

"How can we ordinary people know this? The shopkeeper shrugged.

"Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, I've been cultivating in the deep mountains, and I don't ask about the world. I heard you say just now, Princess Niyang is the prince's half-sister, when will Da Chu establish the prince?" Xiao Qingfeng casually took a sip of tea and continued to ask.

The royal family of Dachu is strong, and ordinary people will not talk about the royal family. But this matter is not taboo, and the shopkeeper did not hide it, explaining: "The emperor established the crown prince several years ago. Counting the time, it has been five years now. ”

"The eldest prince is the crown prince?"

Xiao Qingfeng frowned slightly. This news is really not good news for him. The main reason why he came to the capital this time was to ask Xiong Yan about the Qingbai Sword. If Xiong Yan is still the prince, he doesn't have to care too much, he really can't force it.

But Xiong Yan is now the prince of Dachu, and if he comes hard, he will inevitably be in trouble. Although there is the Yuanyang Sect behind him, the Great Chu Royal Family is involved in the Wuzhen Sect, and if he really wants to do something, it will not end well.

"Exactly!" The shopkeeper looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, this matter also caused many adults to write back then, and many adults were dismissed and investigated because of this." It's a lot of trouble. ”

"Oh!" Xiao Qingfeng nodded in understanding, arched his hand and said, "Thank you shopkeeper!"

"You're polite!" the shopkeeper returned the salute.

Back in the room, Xiao Qingfeng thought about it carefully, if he wanted to see Prince Xiong Yan, I was afraid that he would have to start from the aspect of the Divine Capture Division. Thinking of it, Xiao Qingfeng immediately went downstairs.

Out of the gate of the inn, Xiao Qingfeng drove his horse straight towards the north of the city. The Divine Catcher Division is very famous in the north of the city, because the Divine Catcher Division belongs to the national teacher. The situation of the national teacher Xiong in Dachu can be described as monstrous, the tide rises, and the name of the god catcher naturally resounded in Dachu.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The Divine Capture Division was like a yamen, and as soon as Xiao Qingfeng walked to the gate, he was stopped by two guards.

"In Xia Xiao Qingfeng, I want to find the national teacher if I have something, and I am tired of spreading it. Xiao Qingfeng hugged his fists.

"The National Teacher is busy with official business, and he doesn't see any outsiders, so you can go to the Lord's Mansion and wait. ”

In the capital, there are many capable people, and these two people can watch the door in the God Capture Division, and they are just people with brains, so naturally they will not do anything arrogant and domineering.

The identity of the national teacher Xiong is extraordinary, so naturally it is not something that ordinary people can see. Xiao Qingfeng didn't hold out his hopes. After trying it, but if it didn't work, he said: "Then I was tired of spreading the news that Jing Xu Jing Shen was arrested, and I said that my old friend Xiao Qingfeng asked to see him." ”

The two looked at each other, and one said, "Okay, you wait a while, I'll go." ”

Watching the man go in to report, Xiao Qingfeng knew that he had already succeeded halfway. He didn't worry that Jing Xu wouldn't see him, not to mention Feng Kun's relationship, even if he was taken away by the master in the apprenticeship ceremony, he would not be allowed to see him.

Sure enough, it didn't take much time to make tea. Xiao Qingfeng saw Jing Xu's hurried figure. I haven't seen him for five years, Jing Xu is obviously a lot older, but his whole body is still powerful.

"Xiao Shaoxia, it's really you. Looking at Xiao Qingfeng's figure, Jing Xu hugged his fists and smiled.

"I have seen God arrest, and I have taken the liberty to visit, and I hope that God will catch and forgive my sins. Xiao Qingfeng also clasped his fists and saluted.

"It's okay, please inside!" Jing Xu made a gesture of please.

The Divine Capture Division is naturally a place to be entertained, and Xiao Qingfeng and Jing Xu entered the Divine Capture Division together. After sitting down with each other and serving tea, Jing Xu asked, "Xiao Shaoxia followed Shangxian five years ago, I don't know why I came this time?"

"Master asked me to go to Yuanyang Sect, but Xiao still has some things to deal with in Dachu. This time, I came to find Shenzhu, because I wanted Shenzhu to introduce the national teacher. Xiao Qingfeng said with a teacup.

"This matter is easy. However, the national teacher has just entered the palace, and according to the habit, it will take an hour to turn around. Jing Xu stroked his beard.

"It's okay, just wait. Xiao Qingfeng said with a smile, "Dare to ask the gods, my brother Feng Kun is here?"

"It's really a bad luck that the young man came. Kun'er had already returned to Fenglin County a few days ago. In a few days, it will be Kun'er's father's fiftieth birthday, and he will go back early. Jing Xu said regretfully.

Feng Yuan's birthday is the tenth day of the sixth month, and today is the third day of the sixth month, if everything goes well, he should indeed go back after dealing with the affairs of the capital.

Jing Xu is a god catcher, and his identity is naturally extraordinary, and he has a lot of official duties. But even so, he didn't go to deal with official business, and spent the afternoon sitting slowly accompanying Xiao Qingfeng.

At the end of the day, the national teacher Xiong Guo came back, and after the ceremony, Xiao Qingfeng finally saw Xiong Guo. It all went smoothly to his surprise.

"Five years ago, I said goodbye in a hurry, and the old Tao has not congratulated the young man. I don't know why Shaoxia came this time?" Compared to Jing Xu, Xiong Guo really knew Xiao Qingfeng's identity. Even if Xiao Qingfeng's identity is only a registered disciple of Shi Ran, it is enough for Xiong to pay attention to it.

"Xiao was fortunate to be accepted by his master as a true disciple and practiced in Qifeng Mountain for five years. Now I traveled down the mountain, wanting to deal with some worldly and cut off the world. This time, I came to disturb the national teacher, but I wanted the national teacher to introduce His Royal Highness the Prince. Xiao Qingfeng didn't pay attention to the situation of the dinosaur, and he couldn't help but leak some information between his words.

"I don't know what happened when the young man saw Yan'er?" Sure enough, knowing that Xiao Qingfeng was a true disciple of Shi Ran, Xiong Guo was a lot more respectful in his words.

"This matter is somewhat secretive, and it even involves the relationship between the Yuanyang Sect and another great sect. Xiao is really inconvenient to say. Xiao Qingfeng said, looking at Xiong Qian's face changing slightly, and comforted: "But the national teacher can rest assured that this matter will not involve Da Chu, let alone His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"That's fine. ”

Xiong Guo breathed a sigh of relief. What he cares about in this life is the Great Chu Jiangshan Sheji, if it really involves the Yuanyang Sect, I am afraid that the Great Chu will have no peace.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Xiong was even more anxious than Xiao Qingfeng. Let Xiao Qingfeng wait in the Divine Capture Division, and he personally went to bring the crown prince Xiong Yan out.

The bear's condition is naturally extraordinary. In the afternoon, Xiao Qingfeng saw the prince Xiong Yan again. After five years of not seeing each other, the prince became more and more calm, but this time he came alone and did not bring any more maids.

"I don't know what happened to this brother Tai seeing Lonely?"

There were only Xiao Qingfeng and Xiong Yan in the whole room, Xiong Yan got Xiong Qian's guidance in advance, knowing that the identity of the person in front of him was extraordinary, it was inconvenient to offend, and he spoke very politely.

"The prince doesn't remember Xiao?"

Xiao Qingfeng frowned slightly, although he didn't think that he would have a deep memory when he was seen, but he was not completely unimpressed.

"This, Gu and Brother Tai have met?" Xiong Yan also frowned slightly.

"Five years ago, in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, there was a maid Xiaoqi by his side, could it be that the prince really didn't remember?" Xiao Qingfeng's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Xiaoqi?" Xiong Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he suddenly realized, "Brother Tai, you have been deceived." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Qingfeng wondered.

"There has never been a maid named Xiaoqi by Lone's side, but there is a maid by Lone's cousin, who is the daughter of General Jiang, the general of the South Gate, named Jiang Qi. It is often referred to as small chess. And my cousin is good at disguise, and she also likes to look lonely. At that time, it may have been my cousin meeting my brother. Xiong Yan explained.

"Then I don't know who she is, where is she?" Xiao Qingfeng frowned deeply, and secretly said that this matter is getting more and more troublesome.

"The lonely cousin is the daughter of the king of Zhennan, the lord of Shuiling. Five years ago, after the apprenticeship event, a stranger accepted him as an apprentice and left with his cousin and Jiang Qi. Where is it so far, but I don't know. Xiong Yan sighed, with some indescribable sorrow in his expression. It can be seen that he and the county lord of Shuiling, or he is not a cousin and sister to the county lord of Shuiling.

"Shuiling County Lord?" Xiao Qingfeng flashed a beautiful figure in his mind, shook his head slightly, and continued to ask without giving up: "What clues are there?"

"Clues?" Xiong Yan thought back, "I remember that stranger said that he was from the East China Sea Palace. I don't know how it is. ”

"Donghai Palace?"

Xiao Qingfeng's heart sank, involving the East China Sea Palace. It's not easy to deal with. Suddenly, he thought of the people of Donghai Palace who were looking for fault back then. Could it be that the county lord of Shuiling is the disciple of the palace master of the East China Sea Palace that the predecessor said. In this way, everything makes sense.

Back then, the county lord of Shuiling gave him the Qingbai sword, and only later did the person named Jingfeng find him. However, this sword was given to her by herself, how can it be said that it is lost?
