Chapter 7: The Storm Rises
The main purpose of Sun Zhi, the lord of the Valley of Despair, to sneak into the palace of the Song Kingdom is to find the love flower, since he deduced that the love flower may still exist in the palace, he has an extremely urgent mood, some things are like this, only when they are lost, they will feel cherished.
At the beginning, in the Valley of Desperate Love, love flowers were everywhere, and they were the daily food of the disciples of Desperate Valley, and they didn't feel special, but since the Valley of Desperate Love was destroyed, Gongsun Zhi realized the importance of love flowers, especially the West Poison Ouyang Feng's soft spot for love flowers, which made him realize that love flowers are a sharp weapon against peerless masters.
As long as he gets a love flower, he can plant love flowers all over the mountains.
With such a mood, Gongsun Zhi sneaked into the palace of the Song Kingdom, at this time it was the height of summer, the palace was full of flowers, the fragrance was attacking, all kinds of flowers were mixed together, it was not easy to identify one of them, but it was difficult to defeat the valley lord of the Desperate Valley, he knew the habits of love flowers very well, and he smelled that kind of fragrance for decades, and he couldn't forget it.
He started from the imperial garden, searched all the way, and came to a palace, according to the palace map given to him by Shi Miyuan, this is Mu Zhaorong's palace, and the fragrance of love flowers is coming out of it, which involves his second task, to test the truth of the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, and he has a careful attitude towards this.
If the Emperor of the Song State is Zhao Yun, it will be fine, but if it is Wan Yan Kang, it will be troublesome, Wan Yan Kang's martial arts are not inferior to him, this is the palace, once entangled, it is extremely difficult to escape when surrounded by the Yulin army, his plan is to first grab a concubine favored by the Emperor of the Song State as a bargaining chip to escape, which is the undefeated before the victory. Safety first.
The people of the Song Kingdom knew that the emperor was the most favored by Mu Zhaorong, and this woman could also be a spy of the Jin Kingdom, and it was most suitable to be captured as a hostage. Gongsun Zhi listened outside the palace for a long time, and found no sign of the emperor's arrival, indicating that the emperor of the Song State was not here, so he turned over and entered.
As soon as the Valley Master of Despair Valley landed on his feet, he saw a blooming love flower in full bloom, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he stepped forward and took two steps. Remove a piece of love flower petals and put it in his mouth to taste it slowly, the familiar taste makes his whole body stretch, it is the taste of home.
Before the Valley Lord of Desperation finished enjoying it. A figure has already attacked from the shadows, Gongsun Zhi hurriedly took the move, and as soon as the two fought, Gongsun Zhi secretly complained bitterly. The person who came was Mei Chaofeng, the descendant of Peach Blossom Island. He will not forget the fierce Nine Yin White Bone Claw, this is a madman who will not want to die, and the fatal blow to Ouyang Feng of Western Poison is from the hand of this blind woman.
Since Mei Chaofeng is here, there is nothing to try, it is better to go, Gongsun Zhi rolled up a love flower with his sleeves, fled in a hurry, and Mei Chaofeng chased him out of the palace. Hearing the commotion in the distance, he knew that the thief had encountered the patrolling Yulin Army. She turned back to the palace, not wanting to reveal her identity.
"Aunt Mei, what's wrong?" asked Mu Nianci, who heard the sound of a fight.
"Gongsun Zhi. Mei Chaofeng said simply, "There is something strange about this matter. ”
Mei Chaofeng couldn't see Gongsun Zhi, but he could make a judgment through the opponent's moves and various expressions, even if Yang Kang saw Gongsun Zhi at this time, he didn't dare to conclude that this person with an ugly face was really the ruthless valley master, it can be seen that sometimes what the eyes see is deceptive, and what is seen with the heart is the truth.
Mu Nianci thought about it, she knew that what happened on Peach Blossom Island, Gongsun Zhi did not die and came to the palace, how did he know that there was a love flower in the palace?
A series of questions made the girl scratch her head, she remembered that Ah Kang had confessed when he left, he was undecided to find Aunt Mei in foreign affairs, and he was indecisive in internal affairs to ask Xiao Xie, so she went to Queen Xie, Xie Daoqing carefully inquired about the intricate sect relations in the martial arts, and made the following speculations.
The simplest speculation is that the imperial army destroyed the Valley of Despair, and Gongsun Zhi came to the palace to seek revenge on the Emperor Majesty, but how did Gongsun Zhi know that it was the Valley of Despair destroyed by the Emperor Majesty? Presumably someone sued him, was it Qiu Qianqi who fled or someone else?
The second guess is that Gongsun Zhi came for the love flower, so how did he know that the love flower was in the palace?
The third guess is that Gongsun Zhi knew that Lu Zhanyuan, who appeared on Peach Blossom Island, was the emperor's majesty, and he still came to take revenge, the question is how did he know?
"What's the use of love flowers?" Xie Daoqing said curiously.
"This ......," Mu Nianci said, "If you are stabbed by a love flower, once you miss your loved one, you will be miserable." ”
Empress Xie was silent for a while, which reminded her of the dead Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Yang Guizhi was really good to her, and now it seems that Yang Guizhi should have died of love flowers, and the Queen Mother listened to the government and was unwilling to let go of power annoyed the Emperor Majesty, so the Emperor Majesty had a murderous intention, which was a common court struggle.
Gongsun Zhi was able to deduce from the cause of the queen mother's death that Qinghua was in the palace to show that he had seen the records of the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, this is the royal **, not a person in the rivers and lakes is qualified to see it, this matter is afraid that someone is secretly fueling the troubles, but she still can't figure it out in some places, and always feels that she has missed some extremely important clues, she re-sorted out the matter, assuming that this matter was instigated by someone behind the scenes, so what is their purpose?
Is it to deal with His Majesty the Emperor?
As he thought about it deeply, the memory that was covered by Yang Kang with soul transference** resurfaced.
"Isn't Majesty?" Empress Xie raised her head, stared at Mu Nianci, and asked in a deep voice.
She asked strangely, but Mu Nianci knew what she meant, the girl didn't answer, and struggled in her heart whether to shoot or not, but Mu Nianci couldn't give up after all, and finally could only nod, Xie Daoqing showed a look of sudden realization, so it made sense.
"Are you trying to kill me?" After half a sound, Xie Daoqing reacted to the motive behind Mu Zhaorong's embarrassed expression, and said happily, "Fortunately, you didn't make a move, otherwise it would be a big trouble." ”
Empress Xie guessed from these trivial events that someone wanted to be unfavorable to the emperor's majesty, so she asked her brother Xie Yili to secretly check whether anyone was tracking down the emperor's majesty recently.
There is no impermeable wall in the officialdom, Shi Miyuan has always been vigilant after Gongsun Zhi fled back, and Xie Yili's investigation has not escaped his ears and eyes, which shows that the imperial court has noticed him, and the prime minister intends to strike first, whether it is true or not, and then release the news.
In 1222 AD, in the summer of the fourth year of the Song State Baoqing, a rumor caused a sensation throughout the Song Kingdom. (To be continued......)
