Xu Xiao, King of Northern Liang, is finally leaving Tai'an City.
This news made many people in the city feel relieved, but some people were unwilling to accept it, such as the old people from the Eight Kingdoms led by the old master Sun Xiji, because this time Beiliang got the hereditary replacement that was inconsistent with the Liyang ancestral system. , the Xu Ziwang flag will still be hoisted in the three states of Liangdi.
Queen Zhao Zhi has been infected with cold in recent days.
The Queen Empress always has a cold and quiet look without showing her anger. The people in Tai'an City know that she is gentle, kind and virtuous. Only the real rich and nobles truly understand that the Queen Empress is definitely not as simple as she seems on the surface. Apart from these The relationship between Nian and His Majesty the Emperor was as good as before, and Queen Zhao Zhi also did many things for Liyang Chao, both openly and secretly.
Only a few people in the palace know the real reason why the queen has been depressed and tired recently.
The freckles on her nose gradually disappeared and Princess Sui Zhu was hiding. These days, she was often with the Northern Liang uncle. The relationship between the Zhao family and the Xu family was really complicated. At first, Zhao Zhi proposed to let Xu Fengnian, the Northern Liang prince, enter Tai'an City as his wife. On the surface, the prince-in-law seems to be afraid of Beiliang, but in his heart he also has the idea of preserving the Xu family.
The word "love" is hidden under interests and the overall situation, but it is also an indispensable part.
And this time Beiliang's hereditary replacement seemed to have completely exhausted the remaining affection between the two families.
King Beiliang's entry into the capital half a month ago attracted the attention of everyone in the world, but this time he left the capital, he seemed extremely low-key. Xu Xiao, who was still dressed in the attire of a rich man, looked at the top of Tai'an City from a distance, with an incomprehensible expression. There was someone beside him. A bald monk in black clothes is here to see his friend off.
"Yang Bald Donkey."
"That little guy Zhao Kai is your apprentice, right?"
"I didn't ask you when I was in town these days."
The old monk nodded numbly.
Xu Xiao smiled and touched the head of Imperial Master Liyang next to him. Just like back then, Xu Xiao's feet were still very healthy, and the face of the monk who was born in Liangchan Temple did not have so many wrinkles.
"Why has Zhao Zhi been really upset these days? Even if that girl Sui Zhu didn't let it slip, the real smart people in Tai'an City, Zhang Julu, the blue-eyed man, would be able to detect that this matter is not a trivial one. .”
Xu Xiao's voice was calm, but his tone was determined.
What the King of Northern Liang said was not trivial. He felt that something more disturbing than hereditary replacement had happened to the Queen.
But Yang Taisui, who was dressed in black, just clasped his hands in front of his chest and remained silent.
Seeing this, Xu Xiao shook his head, laughed and cursed a few words.
The two people who once subverted the world in the Spring and Autumn Period and created the current prosperous age of Liyang Dynasty said goodbye. Both of them knew that this meeting might be the last time in this life. Yang Taisui looked at the carriage fading away with a slightly sentimental expression.
After a long time, he turned his head. The monk in black raised his head and looked at the towering city head not far away.
"The queen can't sit still at all."
"After today, Beiliang will probably kill someone without hesitation."
"My disciple is really awesome."
...
Lu Ze talked with everyone around him in the past few days. Except for the blind Lu Xu, Yu Youwei's chess skills have obviously improved greatly during this period. He would look at the woman's turbulent land and express his emotions: "Yu people are broad-minded and have the world in their hearts, but I am far inferior."
The Murong siblings are good at chess. As children from a real aristocratic family, the six arts and eight elegances are undoubtedly the most basic things. And these two siblings are valued by the family as the foundation of ZTE. They have experienced extremely boring learning since childhood. process, otherwise it would be impossible to really fly into Wutong Palace just by relying on appearance.
Murong Wuzhu, who was watching the battle, held his chin and asked curiously: "Your Highness...have you been playing chess since you were a child?"
Among the siblings, Murong Tonghuang became cautious after learning about Lu Ze's true identity. On the contrary, the elder sister, who was extremely shy at first, opened her heart after experiencing that frank conversation, and got along with Lu Ze better. More natural.
Lu Ze shook his head: "I didn't grow up in Tai'an City. I was taken there by my master when I was nine years old. I am...self-taught, right? I should be a smart person and learn everything very quickly. .”
Murong Wuzhu whispered quietly and stopped talking to disturb the game between Lu Ze and the blind chess player.
She would just quietly look at the plump sister next to her holding a white cat. Just one glance made her feel inferior. As a woman, Murong Wu Zhu had some confidence in her own appearance, but she didn't. When she thought about meeting her sister who was as good looking as her and even better in figure, she thought she was so beautiful with a white cat in her arms, let alone the man.
Lu Ze looked at Lu Xu, who was sitting opposite him with his brows furrowed and thinking about the chess game, and smiled dumbly.
"Lu Xu."
"Don't you have a favorite woman in Xiangfan City these years?"
"I was leaving in a hurry this time, so I forgot to ask you. If someone is willing to follow you, you can take them with you."
Lu Xu gently dropped the chess piece and smiled to himself: "No, if there is, isn't it a waste of time?"
Lu Ze spoke softly: "You don't dare to be tainted with the word love, but it's not that you don't want to. Who in this world doesn't have all kinds of emotions? If we truly love each other, why would we delay talking about it? His Highness knows your abilities and ambitions, so he chose to take care of you. When you walk out of Xiangfan City and have been in a cage for a long time, you can return to nature."
Lu Xu was silent.
The eyes of the two women beside him were slightly bright.
...
In the past few days, Longhu Mountain has been closing its gates to thank visitors, which made many literati who paid homage to the Taoist ancestral home sigh and leave.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng used this to confirm the shocking conjecture in her heart, but she also stopped at the foot of Longhu Mountain. Many young Taoist priests on the mountain knew this pearl of the Xuanyuan family. Normally, they would let people go up the mountain, but there was no choice. This time, the headmaster personally gave the order, but could only be rejected again and again.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng looked at the scenery of Longhu Mountain with anxiety in his heart and pale lips.
Grandpa Xuanyuan Guoqi came back from the East Yue Jianchi competition and visited Yuan Tingshan in person. The latter's injuries were far more serious than imagined. Even if he could save his life, he would only be able to spend the rest of his life on the hospital bed. Young Master Song Keli also Already down the mountain, the legitimate son of the Song family has accomplished everything within his capabilities, and Xuanyuan Qingfeng can no longer do anything to him.
Now, hope is just around the corner.
But Xuanyuan Qingfeng couldn't go up to Longhu Mountain.
The woman in Tsing Yi who had returned to Huishan looked dazed. She walked past the Wangjiang Terrace and entered the attic with the word "Aspirations" written on it. Her hands were weakly touching the bookshelves on both sides, and she seemed to be smiling but not laughing, and she seemed to be crying but not crying.
This is the most important place in Huishan besides the back mountain. It stores the martial arts secrets that people in the world dream of. Most of the countless people who have come to Huishan as guests do so because of the things in this building. Xuanyuan Qingfeng has known it since he was a child. I memorized the things here by rote, hoping to find a reliable man in the future, restore the long house that had declined because of my father, and truly flourish the family.
But now, it seems there is no time left.
"Please grandpa save your granddaughter."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng shed tears and knelt down.
Not far away is her grandfather, Xuanyuan Guoqi.
Xuanyuan Guoqi, a late bloomer, is the only seedling of that generation. He was unknown when he was young, and only became famous in the past twenty years. Now, the Xuanyuan family in Huishan can create a great reputation in Jianzhou. Except for the ancestor from the back mountain, this hand-held The old man holding the ancient sword is also an important factor. The first time he went down the mountain, he forced the Wu Family Sword Tomb to produce the King Su Sword. After that, his swordsmanship has been greatly improved. He just defeated the famous sword puppet of Dongyue Sword Pool last month, adding another loud voice. reputation.
The old man turned around and looked at his granddaughter kneeling on the ground with a look of pity, but shook his head.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng looked at her grandfather, who had loved her since she was a child, making such an action. She felt dizzy and the world turned upside down. Her body was cold, but her heart was even colder. Her voice was trembling uncontrollably: "Why did our ancestors choose me to practice dual cultivation? Grandpa, I am Qingfeng!"
Xuanyuan Guoqi was about to speak, but his eyes looked behind Xuanyuan Qingfeng.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar was covering his mouth and coughing violently. The old man frowned.
His head wrinkled and his tone was filled with anger: "Jingcheng, since you are not in good health, don't wander around and just cultivate yourself well."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng turned his head and looked at his biological father with eyes full of resentment. After standing up, he shook off the hand he handed to him and left the Aspiration Building without looking back.
The cool air outside washed away the woman's red eyes, and she took a deep breath of cold air, bringing her back to the cold reality. The long and bony hand on the right had been pricked by sharp nails and was bleeding.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng walked feebly down the mountain.
It is said that the Xuanyuan family strives to dominate the world in Jianzhou, and there are countless people in the world of Huishan, all of whom are envious of the lives of the children of the Xuanyuan family. However, Xuanyuan Qingfeng has noticed since he was born that there are various anomalies in this family and the family. Why do the older sisters in the Bai tribe often cry bitterly? But as she gets older, she finally understands something.
As they walked, they found a deserted place. Xuanyuan Qingfeng sat down on the grass, held his head in his knees, and finally burst into tears.
After a long time, the crying was still there, but there was a voice.
"Zi-Zi-Zi."
"Why is the girl like this?"
"Why don't you talk to me about any obstacles you can't overcome?"
Lu Ze looked extremely strange.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng quickly raised his head and wiped Sour Mohu's eyes with his sleeves. At this time, the woman finally returned to her appearance as a daughter of a martial arts family, proudly raising her slender neck as proud as a swan, Looking at Lu Ze, he said directly: "Who are you?"
At this time, Yu Youwei and others behind him followed.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng wiped his eyes again and carefully looked at the people not far away.
Good-looking young men, plump women, big white cats...
White cat? !
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Xuanyuan Qingfeng's mind. There seemed to be a white cat among the group of people described before?
Xuanyuan Qingfeng's heart trembled slightly, and then he knew the identities of the people opposite him.
Then the person she just scolded...
Lu Ze had already waved to everyone and was about to leave. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Qingfeng quickly said: "Wait!"
"I..."
...
Yu Youwei and others looked at the women who had joined in with great curiosity. They had been on the mountain for a long time in the past few days, and they wanted to find a pleasant place to grill fish at the foot of the mountain. The big white cat Wu Meiniang and others The days spent up there were a bit boring, and the fish in front of Taiqing Temple on the mountain were naturally very particular. The young fish Wei hugged Wu Meiniang tightly at night, for fear that it would go out to steal fish and cause trouble.
"Your Highness..."
"Who is this girl..."
Although Lu Ze knew the identity of this woman, he did not complain. After all, the Xuanyuan family was next door. The eldest son who loved reading might have set his sights here at this time. Qingfeng is looking for someone to save his life, and Xuanyuan Jingcheng is also looking for someone to save his life.
Lu Ze came to a corner and sat down on a stone, waving to Xuanyuan Qingfeng not far away.
"What do you want from me?"
"A girl from the Xuanyuan family?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng obviously didn't know how she revealed her identity, but naturally she didn't care so much at this time and looked directly at Lu Ze: "Your... your surname is Zhao?"
Lu Ze nodded.
The woman showed her face and was ecstatic.
Lu Ze ignored the change in the expression on Xuanyuan Qingfeng's face, and just said calmly: "Miss Xuanyuan, I have no intention of discussing business with you, because I know that your affairs in Huishan are definitely not small. When you see that Are there a few of you around? They are also pitiful people, but there are so many pitiful people in the world? I am just a little-known little character, and I cannot save so many people."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Who are you, and you know what you lack most now, if..."
Lu Ze still shook his head and sighed: "Girl, if you want to talk to me about life ideals, I would be happy to do so, but the things you are talking about are too big, out of space, invisible and intangible. Your ancestors are probably already Are you in the Celestial Realm? Coupled with Huishan's hundreds of years of foundation, do you think these people around me can really help you?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Then you take me away."
"I know that the people wearing felt hats over there are actually the male and female siblings of the Murong family. Since you dare to lead them through the city, taking away the daughter of the Xuanyuan family is not a big deal."
Lu Ze was dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Qingfeng had completely given up on Huishan.
If you knew how powerful your cuckold daddy who only knows how to study is, would you still be like this?
After Xuanyuan Qingfeng finished speaking, he went not far away.
Just as Lu Ze was thinking about it, he heard a voice coming from his ear: "Your Highness, can we talk to you?"
The younger one left and the older one came.
Lu Ze walked silently for many steps towards the depths. In front of him was a middle-aged scribe who was coughing up blood. He had a silk cloth tied on his head and looked haggard and weak: "Xuanyuan Jingcheng has met His Highness. What the little girl Qingfeng said is true. Qingfeng and her mother cultivated together with Xuanyuan Dapan to take revenge on me. Now this ancestor wants Qingfeng to enter Guniu Dagang again."
Lu Ze felt a chill in his heart.
I just feel that this Confucian gentleman can endure cuckolding, which is indeed extremely powerful.
"Can you fight Xuanyuan Dapan?"
"Can."
"Then if you can kill Xuanyuan Dapan and survive, I will be willing to help you."
Xuanyuan Jingcheng frowned, seeming puzzled.
