Chapter Seventy-Eight: Disaster Strikes

Chai Shaoning woke up like a dream. He has become accustomed to seeing himself as a man in the rivers and lakes, and always measures the strength of both sides by the high bottom of his skills. But to put it bluntly, the nine ghosts in the middle of the river are just a gang of bullies, and even if they form a gang, they are just a gang of rabble. But Song Changgeng is sitting on the power of the official family, if it weren't for the protection of the nine ghosts by the king of Sichuan, he could even send troops to exterminate them in one fell swoop, even if he was as strong as the nine sons and ghost mothers, he couldn't resist the pressure of thousands of soldiers. The only flaw is that someone must be able to protect Song Zhizhou from being assassinated by the other party.

Thinking of this, Chai Shaoning was anxious, he was not only worried about Song Changgeng's safety, but also afraid that the third and fourth sisters would get the news and rush to Bazhong, which would be tantamount to throwing themselves into the net.

Chai Shaoning offered to resign at that time.

"I'll go with my third brother. Although Xue Nianci didn't know Song Changgeng, she was concerned about the third sister Song Yuanlan and the fourth sister Shangguan Rou.

"Lu'er, you have one more thing to do. Bai Feiyu stopped her daughter and said, "Yun Chengzi deceived Shaoning, obviously for the 200,000 taels of silver." Chu Xionghao's life and death are uncertain at the moment, and Wudang is at the time of employing people, which requires you to go quickly to answer and protect the safety of his father and daughter and the people in the dart game. ”

Geng Qiuwen was a few years older than Chai Shaoning and Xue Nianci, and he had rich experience, and he heard that Bai Feiyu intended to keep Xue Nianci, and he was afraid that their father and daughter would have a dispute, so he said: "That's right, Wudang has a senior who is out of the dust to preside over the overall situation, and my junior sister and I will enter Sichuan with Shaoning." Uncle Bai and Nian Ci can wait until they reach Senior Chu before rushing over, after all, with Nian Ci's strength, when there is a conflict with the Nine Ghosts, they can play a great role. ”

Bai Feiyu smiled slightly after hearing this, but did not speak.

Out of the dust has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he knows all the things in the world. Since Bai Feiyu wants to enter Sichuan to find the holy driver, he can go with Chai Shaoning, and the excuse to pick up Chu Xionghao is nothing more than to separate Bai Lu and Chai Shaoning.

Chuchenzi is a bold person, and he suddenly felt disgusted with Bai Feiyu in his heart, but now that he is in charge of Wudang, his identity is different, and he can no longer be as straightforward and happy as in the past, and it is normal for Bai Feiyu to be a little snobbish when he is prominent in the dynasty.

Therefore, Izuchenzi instructed Geng Qiuwen: "The three of you are here, don't act recklessly, if there is anything wrong, you can rush into the Western Xinjiang, and ask your teacher Xihuang Xia Yin to make a decision." ”

After speaking, he said to Chai Shaoning: "Shaoning, you have encountered a lot of things along the way, and it is inevitable that your mind will be dizzy and you will lose your overall consideration." With this lesson, you should know that recklessness is useless, so no matter what happens on this trip, you must ask your brother Geng and Sister Fang for advice, and you must not make impulsive moves again, you may rely on me?"

Chai Shaoning heard that something might happen in Chuchenzi's words, and he became even more anxious in his heart, but when he saw Chuchenzi frowning and staring at him, he hurriedly responded: "Chai Shaoning remembers the words of his predecessors, but this trip is up to Brother Geng and Sister Fang, and he will never behave impulsively." ”

Out of the dust nodded, and ordered someone to prepare dry food quickly. The three children no longer delayed, and said goodbye to everyone and went to Wudang.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

In the government of Qingzhou Mansion in Sichuan, Song Zhizhou, who had just taken office, frowned tightly and pondered at the desk.

After receiving the letter that he was appointed to Bazhou within a time limit, Song Changgeng knew that something was wrong, but he was in the official gate and couldn't help himself. Originally, I expected Zhao Yinian to intercept her daughter, lest she also fall into a crisis, but I didn't expect that Song Yuanlan didn't go back to Taiyuan Mansion at all, but went directly to Sichuan, and I didn't expect that Murong Dingyi would hype up Song Changgeng's appointment to Bazhou when he arrested Chai Shaoning to no avail, and used Song Changgeng himself to lure his daughter Song Yuanlan and Shangguan Rou to Bazhou.

Hearing the second daughter say that Chai Shaoning picked the rudder of Fengyue Gate Langzhong and killed Murong Shanshan, Song Changgeng was taken aback, knowing that he still thought about things too simply, the struggle between Chai Shaoning and the others and the nine ghosts in Sichuan had reached the point where it could not be alleviated, but it was ridiculous that he couldn't resist Chai Youyu and brought the two of them to Bazhou.

Today, there are four kings and the court coexist, Shu land is under the jurisdiction of the king of Sichuan, but the court in order to limit the rights of the vassal kings in various places, the officials in the jurisdiction are still uniformly dispatched by the court. King Shuntian took advantage of this, using Song Changgeng as a medium to direct the war to the hinterland of the Nine Ghosts.

Although Chai Youyu has lived in the mountains for a long time, he is full of wealth, and he can see through at a glance that this will be an endless battle. Although he regretted letting his brother's descendants enter the whirlpool again, the matter had come to this point, even Chai Youyu himself would never allow his nephew to make treachery and retreat.

Therefore, Chai Youyu refused Song Changgeng and Zhao Yinian's kindness to leave him in Taiyuan Mansion, and resolutely went to Sichuan, no matter whether he lived or died, he had to face it with his nephew.

But when the flames of war really burned in front of him, Song Changgeng couldn't watch too many people being burdened by love and righteousness and sacrificing in vain! He was desperate to let Chen Zhongshou send Chai Youyu and his wife and Shangguan Rou away.

Even for Shangguan Rou's safety, Chai Youyu has to muster up the courage to fight for a better life.

For a day or two, the assassins sent by Murong Dingyi would definitely take advantage of the nightfall.

Song Changgeng is not afraid of death, from the day he set foot on the road, he was ready to face everything calmly, and even thought about whether it was possible to preemptively use the military power in his hands to launch a surprise attack on the nine ghosts in Sichuan, exterminate the thieves, and eliminate harm for the people.

But soon, Song Changgeng found that this idea was too naΓ―ve. With no foundation, he is facing a group of oily skins who are yang and yin, who seem to be full of servants, but in fact there are no usable soldiers.

Song Changgeng was thinking about it, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and when he heard the sound, he knew that it was his daughter Song Yuanlan who was coming.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, Song Yuanlan's gloomy face appeared at the door.

Song Changgeng sighed, he already knew about his daughter and Chai Shaoning, although he felt sorry for his daughter, but the emotional matter was really undemanding, but this child was willful since she was a child, and she was obsessed with things, I really don't know how many setbacks she will suffer in the future to grow up?

"It's already dark, why hasn't Uncle Chen come back yet?" Listening to Song Yuanlan's absent-minded question, Chen Zhizhou knew that his daughter was upset, so he came to relieve his boredom.

"Your Uncle Chen wants to send Rou'er and the uncle and aunt of the Chai family out of Qingzhou City, so naturally they will come back later. We are new here, and we don't know many people, and when Rou'er leaves, there is no one to accompany you. Song Changgeng said, and couldn't help sighing: "It's okay if your mother refuses to leave, Daddy really regrets listening to your words during the day and didn't forcibly send you away." ”

"Daddy is complaining about his daughter again. Song Yuanlan said angrily: "You have never been so timid as you are now, could it be that Murong Dingyi really dares to openly attack the yamen of the state capital without the king's law?"

"When I was a child, my father hoped that you would grow up slowly, so that you could accompany your father and mother more under your knees!" Song Changgeng replied to the question, and watched his beloved daughter sit down with pity, leaning the candlelight outward, so that he could see his daughter's pretty face more clearly. "But for now, Daddy just wants you to grow up quickly and be able to take care of yourself. ”

When Song Yuanlan realized that her father was worried about her, she felt a heartache, got up and walked around the table, gently hugged her father's shoulders and said, "It's the daughter who is not filial, and the father is scared!"

"Silly boy!" Song Changgeng patted the back of his daughter's hand on his shoulder, and said lovingly: "After all, Daddy is an official of the imperial court, and he doesn't dare to come nonsense if he forgives those thieves." It's just Lan'er, if you are willing to listen to your father's words, tomorrow at dawn, you will rush to Shanxi early, and live in Song seniors for a while, so that your father can feel at ease. ”

"It's here again!" Song Yuanlan walked to the chair and sat down in displeasure and said, "How can my daughter sit and watch my father be in danger? Now that there are only four of the nine ghosts left in Sichuan, my daughter wants to see how capable they are?"

Knowing that his daughter has had such a temper since she was a child, Song Changgeng could only change the topic with a wry smile and said: "Lan'er, young people are too uncertain about their feelings, Shaoning grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and his personality is honest, and he can't accept the blow of Zhimei's death for a whileβ€”β€”"

"My daughter has already said it!" Song Yuanlan interrupted her father's words: "He is just his daughter's brother-in-law, you will be wrong about your daughter!"

"Daddy knows, Daddy knows!" Hearing his daughter's denial, Song Changgeng laughed and said, "Daddy just wants to say that since Shaoning can be in love with Zhimei, he will definitely not lose my Lan'erβ€”β€”"

"Dad!" Song Yuanlan was once again annoyed that he interrupted her father's words and said, "If you believe Rou'er's girl's nonsense again, my daughter will make a heavy vow that she will never marry and stay by her parents' side." ”

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it!" The more extreme Song Yuanlan's speech became, Song Changgeng knew that her daughter couldn't forget Chai Shaoning in her heart, but she just refused to admit it on the surface.

"Report to your lord!" The voice of the guard came from outside the door: "There is a monk outside the mansion, who calls himself a monk and asks to see your lord!"

"Destined monk?" Song Changgeng was vigilant, went to the door and asked the guard in detail about the monk's appearance, and was sure that he didn't know this monk, so he said to the guard: "It's getting late, please come back tomorrow if he has something." ”

The guard answered and turned to leave. The guards at the door were about to close the door for the adults, when a gust of wind blew, and the two guards fell to the ground without a sound.

Song Changgeng was so shocked that he was about to call someone, but a monk dressed in Ziyi had already rushed into the room, raised his hand and smashed a human head at Song Changgeng.

Song Changgeng dodged and dodged, and at a glance he saw that the human head turned out to be his wife. Although his head was different, his two big eyes were still round and open, and he looked at Song Changgeng with fear.

Song Changgeng didn't expect the disaster to come so quickly, "Ahh

As soon as his body was slow, the wind behind his head had already risen, and Song Changgeng only turned around, and his eyes were dark, and he had been covered by a wooden fish.

Song Yuanlan saw that there was a change, and as soon as she jumped up, she heard a "poof" sound, and her father's body was hit by the monk who threw herself into the house and flew backwards.
