Chapter Twenty-Five: Secretly Entering Beijing
Yue Ziheng and Xing Tiandao looked at each other when they heard this. This Ouyang Yu is not a person who leads troops to fight, but when he analyzes the battle situation, he is really a natural general!
Xing Tiandao was convinced: "Brother Ouyang is very strategic, he is really very comparable, if Xing someone objects again, he will look down on Brother Ouyang!"
Yue Ziheng heard that the third brother had also compromised, so he had no choice but to nod and say: "So the two of you are careful all the way, we have a station on the land, Brother Ouyang can contact them when he arrives, and someone will take care of him in case of trouble!" After that, he told Ouyang Yu in detail the location and contact information of the Heavenly Demon Gang who had become a craftsman and was lurking in Wuzhou City.
In the early morning of the next day, a large ship left the outer heavens and headed for land.
Chai Shaoning, who lost Qiu Ju and Dongmei, stood at the bow of the boat, calmly looking at the vast sea ahead. He has not forgotten his grief, but he has learned to keep it deep in his heart.
In this world where jackals are in charge, there may be greater suffering waiting for you in front of you, but as a man, you should never bow to pain, at least you can protect the people around you with your own skills, so that they can get a piece of happiness, and you are now having such strength step by step! What you want to do in the future is to dedicate this strength to your relatives, instead of letting it be shrouded in sorrow and unable to extricate yourself!
Two days and two nights passed in a flash, and another half a day was enough to reach land. When they got up early this morning, Ouyang Yu and Chai Shaoning were about to dine when they suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps outside the cabin.
The two of them were already familiar with all the movements of the people on the ship, listening to the soft and soft footsteps, like a woman's possession, the two were taken aback, and hurriedly opened the door to see, Song Yuanlan's sad face had tears on her face and said, "Third brother, I'm hungry!"
Chai Shaoning was surprised and distressed when he saw that it was Song Yuanlan, and took Song Yuanlan's hand and asked, "Third sister, why are you here?"
Song Yuanlan gently fell into Chai Shaoning's arms and cried, "Third brother, don't leave Lan'er!"
Chai Shaoning didn't expect that her absolute departure would cause so much damage to Song Yuanlan, making her heart feel in fear of being abandoned all the time, her heart suddenly ached violently, and she stretched out her arms and hugged Song Yuanlan tightly and said: "Third sister, don't worry, the third brother will never leave you in the future!"
Ouyang Yu saw that Chai Shaoning was emotional, and returned to the table by himself, so as not to hinder the two.
Waiting for Chai Shaoning's mood to stabilize, he pulled Song Yuanlan to the table, and watched Song Yuanlan gobble up and eat, Ouyang Yu said: "It must be that Lan'er saw you leave and secretly followed the boat, until she couldn't bear the hunger, and then walked out of the hideout." ”
Chai Shaoning sighed: "I made the third sister like this!"
Ouyang Yu said: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. Lan'er was able to sneak away from us and get into the boat, which means that she has not lost her martial arts, and her actions this time are out of her own initiative, which proves that she has not completely lost consciousness!"
Chai Shaoning came to his senses and said, "Yes, she said she was hungry, this is the first time I've heard her say something different from before." Saying that, he became excited and said, "So, the third sister still has hope for recovery?"
Ouyang Yu smiled and reproached: "You, when will you not be swayed by emotions?"
Chai Shaoning became happy, scratched his head and said, "Uncle Ouyang has taught him a lesson, so what should we do now?"
Ouyang Yu asked, "After we go ashore, there is still a chance for the big ship to bring Lan'er back." I'm just asking you, would you like to send her back?"
Chai Shaoning thought about it and said: "This time it's not my emotional matter, since the third sister must follow, if we insist on sending her back, she is not conscious, I am afraid that she will make abnormal actions again, at that time, the vast sea, who will rescue her?"
Ouyang Yu nodded and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
Chai Shaoning said without hesitation: "The third sister is infatuated with me, and I, Chai Shaoning, will live and die with the third sister from now on." After assassinating the king of Hainan and rescuing Du Fei and the cuckoo daughters, I will take Lan'er to the capital to find the second sister, and ask Bai Juma to invite the imperial doctor to see the third sister!"
Ouyang Yu smiled: "Just do what you say!"
Chai Shaoning knew that Ouyang Yu was gradually cultivating himself, so he smiled and didn't speak.
Now that the national calamities and family feuds are all gathered together, it is time for him to stand up and strive for a share of the light with the supreme sword, and any humility and retreat is a cowardly act. Chai Shaoning is rapidly growing into a qualified swordsman, replacing the swordsmen and demons of his predecessors, leaving a hope for the kind people!

Yingtian Jinling, built along the river, by the mountains and rivers, the tiger is standing in the dragon pan.
Although the battle on the Hebei front line was raging, there was no trace of tension in this Yingtian City. In order to show his strong strength, the current emperor ordered the fireworks and lantern displays, which should have ended on the 17th of the previous year, to postpone for four days, and the whole world celebrated and congratulated the peace.
However, in the sound of firecrackers, Ying Tiancheng launched the most brutal purge since the founding of the country. Those many civil and military officials who had an affair with the eldest prince and thought they had escaped were tricked into the palace by the emperor on the pretext of watching the lanterns and were killed.
The raid of the nine clans of Zhulian lasted for four days, but behind the rising fireworks and lanterns, the people in the city did not know that the court and the central government had undergone earth-shaking changes, and they still went their own way, and all the bloodshed was covered up under the lantern show that whitewashed the peace.
In the evening, Xue Nianci got rid of the children of the court who were chasing her like a wild bee and butterfly, and returned to the Horse Mansion accompanied by Shen Rong.
As soon as he sat down, a servant came to report: "A young man named Chai Shaoning asks to see the princess, claiming to be the princess's brother-in-law!"
"Is it the third brother?" Xue Nianci was surprised when she heard this, jumped up in disbelief and ran out of the house to take a look, and the people standing at the door were really the third brother and the third sister who had been thinking about it day and night.
Xue Nianci was overjoyed and said, "The third brother really found the third sister, but how did you come here?"
Chai Shaoning was not used to calling Bai Lu after all, so he still said by his original title: "Do you want to stand here and chat with the third brother?"
Xue Nianci saw that the third brother hadn't seen him for a while, and he had become a lot older, so he stuck out his tongue and said, "The third brother is reproachful, come and follow me into the house!" After speaking, she happily pulled Song Yuanlan and urged the two to leave quickly.
The area of this palace is extremely vast. Chai Shaoning followed behind Xue Nianci, entered the two courtyard gates, bypassed countless pavilions, platforms, corridors, and columns, and then went up to a chic and elegant two-story building built by the lake.
Chai Shaoning saw that there were all tables and chairs in the building, there was a stove next to the low-hanging warm tent, a guqin was placed next to the incense burner, and a picture of a lady was hung on the wall, and said with a smile: "The second sister has changed her career to be an embroidery girl!"
Xue Nianci hadn't seen the brothers and sisters for a long time, and her emotions were high, and she said coquettishly when she heard this: "The third brother laughs at Nianci! This is all my father's arrangement." Since I entered Beijing, he has not allowed me to dance with swords and swords, but has arranged for a group of princes and nobles to accompany me shopping all day long, and Nian Ci can't refuse even if he wants to!"
Chai Shaoning smiled faintly and said: "This is Uncle Bai picking a son-in-law for you! If you dance with a sword and sword again, won't you scare away those sons and brothers?"
Xue Nianci sighed and said: "The third brother knows Nianci's intentions, although the second brother said such cruel words, but I know that it was because of my own fault that he absolutely left." Every time I think of this, I regret it, and I just hope to meet my second brother. Now that there is a war in Hebei, I don't know how the second brother is doing now?"
Chai Shaoning felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard this, and was thinking about whether to tell the second sister the news of Xiao Ting's tragic death? Xue Nianci let out a "huh", stared at Song Yuanlan and said, "Why didn't the third sister say a word when she saw the second sister?" Did you catch a cold on the road?"
This time it was Chai Shaoning's turn to sigh, and he recounted Song Yuanlan's experience to Xue Nianci.
Only then did Xue Nianci know that the third sister had lost her memory, so she hugged Song Yuanlan sadly, and said to Chai Shaoning: "Third brother, don't worry, I will ask my father to ask the best imperial doctor in the palace to treat the third sister, and she will definitely recover her memory!"
Chai Shaoning nodded and then changed the subject and asked, "It's almost dark, why haven't you seen Uncle Bai come back yet?"
Xue Nianci said: "My father used to be indifferent to officialdom, but this time when he returned to Beijing, the emperor called him by his side every day, and sometimes even didn't return all night, obviously there are not many people the emperor can trust." Princess Luan Yi was the only daughter who was willing to sacrifice for him, so the emperor regarded his father as a confidant. My father asked me to go with him to meet that grandfather, but I refused several times!"
Chai Shaoning knew that Xue Nianci had a grudge because of her mother's murder, so she didn't want to see the emperor's grandfather, and said worriedly: "What if the emperor takes the initiative to see your granddaughter? Resisting the decree is a capital crime!"
Xue Nianci sneered: "They are busy raiding and killing people now, and they don't care about me." If there really is such a day, I will leave Beijing and go south to find the eldest brother and sister!" Speaking of this, Xue Nianci suddenly remembered and said, "The third brother hasn't said how you came here? Is it just to see the third sister?"
Chai Shaoning didn't answer and asked: "Presumably, Uncle Bai has already told the emperor about the king of Hainan, what is the emperor's reaction?"
Xue Nianci frowned and said, "The third brother would never have thought of it." Just when the emperor was angry and was about to take action, the king of Hainan suddenly arrived in Beijing! He was sick and carried people into Beijing to confess his loyalty to the emperor. Now even my father wonders if he has fallen for King Shuntian's plan to sow discord?" Seeing Chai Shaoning's calm face, he said in surprise: "Does the third brother already know about this matter?"
Chai Shaoning nodded and said, "That's what we're here for!"
At that moment, Chai Shaoning told about the assassination of the king of Hainan with Ouyang Yu, the god of the East China Sea.
It turned out that the two took Song Yuanlan to Wuzhou, where the Hainan Royal Mansion is located, and got in touch with the leader of the Heavenly Demon Gang in the city, and sneaked to the Hainan Royal Mansion that night.
Although the Hainan Palace's Mansion was heavily guarded, how could they stop Ouyang Yu and Chai Shaoning? However, after the two of them entered the mansion, they found that they had pounced, and not only were the masters who had been expected to be absent from the mansion, but even the King of Hainan, who had been bedridden for many years, was nowhere to be seen.
When the two were about to capture the palace guards for questioning, they accidentally found the cuckoo imprisoned on top of the palace building.
Both of them are great wonders, although the cuckoo has lost his freedom, but the treatment is like a princess, and he has not suffered at all.
