The brocade-clothed scribe by the river, seeing Ling Nanzi walking towards him, greeted him with a smile, and arched his hand and said, "Brother Ling, I haven't seen you for many years, and your demeanor is better than in the past!"

Ling Nanzi looked at the person in front of him coldly, snorted coldly, and said, "No way, I have to work hard to live a little longer, otherwise I will die, who knows what this world will be like for you!"

The brocade-clothed scribe smiled and said, "This world was won back by everyone's blood and sweat back then, and I am just conscientious and conscientious. It's you, Brother Ling, who hides in the Huaishan faction to enjoy Qingfu and doesn't ask about the world, but I can't stand alone if you suffer my brother. ”

"Okay, don't talk about these nonsense, let your subordinates restrain their arrogance a little, my disciples are all young people who have never seen the world, and they can't stand this kind of pomp. Ling Nanzi said impatiently.

"Oh?" the scribe glanced at Jiang Jianqiu, who was meditating on the ground in the distance, with interest, and said, "Does that little brother have a talent for perception?" Didn't you hear Brother Ling's words, let me restrain yourself!"

When the people behind him heard this, they immediately took a step back, and the invisible wall of qi that had squeezed out the crowd seemed to weaken a lot in an instant. Jiang Jianqiu, who was in the distance, was already sweating profusely at the moment, and suddenly felt that the pressure around him was light, and he suddenly felt like he was reincarnated.

The scribe smiled and looked at Ling Shengxue, who was standing beside Jiang Jianqiu, his eyes froze, and after a while, he said, "Is that girl the righteous daughter that the eldest brother brought back in the Ice Plain back then?"

Ling Nanzi glanced at the scribe in front of him, his eyes became a little complicated, and said: "She is my righteous daughter Ling Shengxue, who has lived in Huaishan for more than seven years. ”

"Yes, that's fine......" The scribe's expression was a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, when suddenly his expression was shocked, and he said with a serious expression: "Brother Ling, since I learned the news that you went to the capital of Tang Kingdom, I have been waiting at this ferry for three days. You and I haven't seen each other for many years, why don't you find a place to go near the left and have a good time?"

Ling Nanzi frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Excuse me, you came all the way here, it won't be to invite me to a meal, if you have something to say." ”

"Brother Ling has lived in the world for a long time, and it may not be clear that the emperor of this Tang country has not seen a dynasty for nearly half a year in the name of holding illness. The five-way soldiers and horses guarded by the capital have been firmly controlled by Wanshan River, the royal family of Tang has been inherited for nearly 10,000 years, and many towns and cities are guarded by royal clansmen. The scribe talked eloquently on the bank of this river, and there was really a tendency to rebuke Fang Xuan, and the more he spoke, the more gloomy his expression became, and finally frowned and said: "This time, I'm afraid that Wanshanhe is really going to rebel!"

"Hmph!" Ling Nanzi waved his sleeves heavily and said loudly: "You said the same thing back then, and the result was a bloody case!"

The scribe frowned and said, "If it weren't for the eldest brother's insistence on obstructing it back then, how could there be the danger it is now......

"Ridiculous! You're obviously reversing cause and effect, confusing right and wrong. If you hadn't pressed step by step, how would Wanshanhe have come to this point?"

The scribe shook his head slowly and said, "Brother Ling's words are wrong, you don't care about the world, you don't intend to be rich in the world, and you won't stir up waves in this world for no reason." Now I have ordered the elite of Chaoge to secretly lurk in the capital of Tang Kingdom, and once the incident happens, they will attack it in groups. Brother Ling, let's go home, now that the situation in the capital is complicated, it is no longer something you can handle. ”

Ling Nanzi suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and said, "I came all the way to come here, because of your words, did you hide back to Huai Mountain?"

The scribe smiled bitterly and said: "I know that according to the temperament of the eldest brother, I will definitely not be able to agree, if you insist on going, then I will order my subordinates to lie dormant for the time being, but on the other side of the Wanshan River, it is already ready to be attacked, I am afraid that something big will happen in the next few days." ”

"Okay, I'll go see him, if I really can't resolve this dispute, then I'll take Wan Qing back to Huaishan, and I won't ask a word if you turn the world upside down!" Ling Nanzi said it simply, but his heart had sunk to the bottom, he was also a person who dominated the world in the past, after saying this, he already knew what the situation was now, but since he was in the game, how could he get out of the quagmire? And he still held on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping to finally turn the tide like that time twelve years ago.

"It's not too early now, I have already prepared the carriage and horses for Brother Ling and his party, this place is only a hundred miles away from the capital, and it will be there tomorrow. ”

Ling Nanzi waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not too old to walk." Your chariots and horses are too expensive for the countrymen to sit on. After speaking, he turned around and walked slowly towards Jiang Jianqiu and the others.

The scribe watched Ling Nanzi gradually walk away, his face was solemn, and suddenly a person behind him whispered: "Master Hou, you are the master of the court, this Ling Nanzi has a lot of offense between his words, and he can't help but be a little ......."

The scribe waved his hand and said, "Let the shadow guards in the capital not move, and no one is allowed to disturb Ling Nanzi and his party." You are not allowed to make a move on him, Brother Ling is the person I admire the most in my life," the scribe looked at the Taotao River, suddenly smiled, and continued: "And even if you are added together, I am afraid that you will not be his opponent." ”

"Alright, it's getting late, it's time to get up. Ling Nanzi returned to Wan Qing and the other group of people and beckoned everyone to leave. Wan Qing asked, "Master, who are those people?"

Ling Nanzi walked forward along the main road, and his voice came from afar a moment later:

"The deceased. ”

At sunset on the second day, the walls of Chengjing, the tall and magnificent capital of Tang Kingdom, were presented in front of Ling Nanzi and his party.

"There seem to be a lot of officers and soldiers at the city gate, the capital is really unusual, even when you enter the city, the inventory is so strict!" Jiang Jianqiu looked at the crowd in front of the city gate from afar, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Ling Nanzi looked in the direction of the city gate, but his face was cloudy, "Let's go, it's not too early." ”

When Ling Nanzi and his party came to the city gate, an officer greeted them politely.

"The itinerary of Master Ling and his entourage has been reported to the Shuai Mansion every day, and it is estimated that you should arrive at the city gate at this hour, so Wan Shuai asked me to wait here early in the morning. The officer said respectfully as he led the people into the city.

Originally, Wan Shuai wanted to come to the city gate to greet him in person, but the recent affairs between the DPRK and China have been complicated, and he really can't get out of his way. But at this moment, a banquet has been prepared in the Shuai Mansion to wash the dust for you!"

"Wan Shuai has a heart. Ling Nanzi listened to the officer's words in his heart, but his face was silent. (To be continued.) )
