Hate Hongchen's words are concise and to the point, and completely brook no one to refute. Mei Yuanchen's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. He didn't even say anything like "What's wrong with your injury?"
Yun Xiaoyang's luggage contained nothing more than a change of clothes and a needle bag, which she packed in less than half a quarter of an hour. However, she did not go to find Mei or Bai. She just sat quietly in the side hall.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't teach her to wait for a long time. After sitting down for only half a cup of tea, they saw Mei Yuanchen and Hen Hongchen walking side by side.
"Without further ado, let's go!"
The three of them did not leave, but went to the steward who was responsible for entertaining guests and explained their purpose to him.
Mei Yuanchen is the fellow disciple of the master of Zhenwu Temple, and has a close relationship with the Qianzha Palace. Although he is young, he is one of the most distinguished guests in the Xu family; Yun Xiaoyang is not only famous as a miracle doctor, but also a member of the Suxin Palace Jishi Hall. The leader of the hall, in terms of status, is somewhat more valuable than the heads of some ordinary sects in the world.
When the steward heard that they wanted to borrow horses, he immediately agreed and personally led the three of them to the best stables in the house to choose from.
With the Xu family's financial resources and reputation, even if they wanted to borrow a cavalry team, let alone borrowing horses, they would not be able to refuse.
After picking three good horses from the stable, the three of them got on their horses and rode southward.
Originally, Mei Yuanchen wanted Yun Xiaoyang and Hen Hongchen to go to the capital first, so he went to Hanzhou alone to persuade Xia Chenghuan. He also thought that there were people from Jiudian near Ruozhou, although the two women's martial arts were not weak. , but if it is besieged by a large group of dead soldiers, it is still unknown whether it can protect itself. After some deliberation, I still felt that it would be most appropriate for the three of us to go together.
Qing Ji said that Xia Chengyi might not be able to hold on for long. Although Mei Yuanchen was anxious at this time, he didn't have the ability to separate himself from two places.
The distance between Ruozhou and Hanzhou is only three hundred miles, which is half a day's journey. If we go to Hanzhou to stabilize Xia Chenghuan and then return to the capital, if everything goes well, we can arrive there in two days.
"Drive!" Mei Yuanchen spared no effort in his hand, whipping the horse's butt one whip after another, urging the good horse to walk as if it were riding on green smoke or clouds.
... ...
Duanmu Jing obtained Duanmu Yu's authorization for this trip: he would obey the authority for all conveniences and act on behalf of the emperor's will.
Therefore, he almost didn't think anything about the request made by the Gongyang Palace, and immediately agreed - land can be sealed; money can be given; soldiers can be dispatched.
Gong Yangxun was also a man who knew how to advance and retreat, and did not take the opportunity to ask for anything else. Between advancement and retreat, wealth and life are determined. He understands that going too far is not enough and that enough is enough. He wanted this conspiracy to be not just an alliance of interests, but also a sense of repayment and kindness.
In his consideration, showing kindness to the Duanmu family was a kind of protection for future generations of the family. The Gongyang Palace, which is located between Dahua and Jue Kingdom, must not be enemies on both sides, otherwise it will be self-destruction. Enough is enough is the Gongyang family's attitude towards alliance, which is undoubtedly a great kindness to the Duanmu family in such a situation. Throughout the 300-year history of the Jue Kingdom, the Duanmu clan has always had a tradition of treating benefactors favorably, as can be seen from the Mu clan's century-long experience.
Early the next morning, the two formed an alliance based on blood and worshiped heaven and earth as proof.
After the ceremony, Gongyang Palace sent a team of light cavalry to escort Duanmu Jing back to his country. He still had one important thing to do.
Facing the aggressive Shenshao camp, Duanmu Yushi's strategy was to "encircle Wei and save Zhao".
... ...
By noon, the nine martial arts schools had just ended.
In the next five martial arts matches, Yi Qilin easily defeated Wu Qingsong, Yun Xiaomeng won Du Ku with more than 200 moves, Zhan Wei narrowly defeated the corpse-eating old man, Xu Xiaoyi defeated He Beihong after nearly a thousand rounds, and Zhang Zhengyi narrowly won with a deviated sword attack. Monk Fa Yuan... As for Tang Yunwen, who had a bye, he naturally advanced to the next round of martial arts school.
The Salt Gang won two and lost one, which was not a bad record. However, when he returned to the small courtyard, Zhang Suiguang had a gloomy face.
When he looks bad, the people in Jiudian and the Salt Gang will be alert and try not to speak if they can, so as not to get into trouble.
At this moment, Li Xuici had to speak: "Yes, gang leader. Our people saw him, Yun Xiaoyang, and Hen Hongchen leaving the city and heading south."
Seeing that Zhang Suiguang didn't ask for a word for a while, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "Because the people of the Xu family have been watching and they didn't get the order from the gang leader to intercept and kill, we... our people haven't taken action. "
Li Xueci knew best the nature of this seemingly easy-to-talk gang leader, and he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Going south? Hmm... What are they going to Hanzhou for? Song Hongfeng just mentioned the changes in Hanzhou's defense. Why is he going there? Could it be that the emperor wants that kid to take charge of the military affairs here? Hmm... .It shouldn’t be... This is a huge event. No matter how close the two are, the emperor has no reason to leave such an important matter to him. I wonder what happened in the capital, but We haven't been able to get it here yet." Zhang Suiguang whispered softly while stroking the wine jar.
Listening to him talking to himself, he seemed to be calm and unfazed by the fact that people from the Yan Gang and Jiudian didn't take action to kill Hen Hongchen and Mei Yuanchen.
After thinking about it for a while, a smile gradually appeared on Zhang Suiguang's face.
"The old and young Taoist priests of Zhenwu Temple are still here. The Xu family will definitely stand by and watch what happens outside Ruozhou. This is a God-given opportunity! No matter what happened, since the boy named Mei left Ruozhou, in addition to the capital, there are also Where can he go? Maybe his trip to Hanzhou is just a ploy to attack the east and the west."
After thinking about this, he felt much happier. He picked up the wine jar and started drinking.
The five kilograms of "Drunk Danyang" was drunk in one gulp... This amount of alcohol is indeed worthy of the title of "The Immortal of Wine".
Putting down the empty wine jar and licking (*) the wine stains from the corners of his lips, Zhang Suiguang spoke to Li Xueci and said: "Place our people on the way back to the capital. I don't want to see the three of them alive." city."
He doesn't like to hate Hongchen, and he doesn't like Mei Yuanchen either. They must die.
As for Yun Xiaoyang, "It's bad luck for her. She has been traveling with that kid again and again. I can't leave you alone to report the news."
"Yes, Gang Leader, I will make arrangements right away!" Li Xueci bowed and said Zheng Sheng.
He was about to go down when he heard Zhang Suiguang smile and say: "This time, you have no reason to miss. If they don't die, you don't have to live anymore."
Li Xueci's heart trembled, his feet trembled, and he blinked slightly and replied: "Yes, leader, I understand! If any one of the three of them escapes this time, the people from the Deacon Hall will take their subordinates with them." The heads are coming back to life."
Although he and the three people were not the same at all, they were now fighting to the death.
Zhang Suiguang chuckled and said, "Thousands of people killed three of them. You have worked hard and can't make any mistakes. Just go! What I want to see is their heads, not yours."
