After being together for so many years, He Xiu, who has now returned to normal, does not understand that the dog in front of her is actually her husband. Looking back on what happened in these days, there is no color in her world. For a moment, I just wanted to kill everything with one blow, and be done with it.
But for some reason, seeing Tian Hu nodding decisively, she couldn't make a move. She was sure that if Tian Hu had shaken his head at that time, she would chop him into pieces without hesitation and then go with him. , but after Tian Hu really nodded, she found that she couldn't do it.
Looking at this strange city and these strange streets, He Xiu stood at the intersection.
"Let's go to a place where no one knows us, where there are only two of us, and let's live out our lives there."
He Xiu didn't bring anything with him. He bought some dry food, a few pieces of clothing, and a hatchet when passing through the market with the only money he had. He walked out of Shendu City at sunset and walked in the direction of Ziyunjia.
But on the other side, the members of the Jiangwu Hall were stopped by another group of armored soldiers at the crossroads entering En Street. The two armies met, and the leader of the Jiangwu Hall had a cold look on his face.
"Who dares to stop the Wutang from doing its work?"
"The Jiangwu Hall is so majestic, what? When did your Jiangwu Hall become His Majesty's personal feather guard? Who dares to stop him in this divine capital?" A woman came out on horseback, Wearing a suit of leather armor, it could not hide her heroic appearance. She held a spear in her hand, and an intimidating aura emanated from her body.
"It turns out it's Lord Qingyue, the commander of the guards of the eldest princess's palace. I wonder why he blocked my way?"
The female general's face turned solemn, "Under your Majesty's order, everyone in the martial arts hall is not allowed to disturb Cao An Qingxiu, and quickly lead people back the same way. If you don't comply, it will be regarded as treason and you will be killed without mercy!"
Jiang Long's face turned ugly. He dismounted from his horse and knelt on the ground. "Please show me your Majesty's decree, so I can go back and deliver the report."
"If you don't comply with His Majesty's wishes, who do you have to report to? In this great city of gods, who do you need to report to?"
"We have received an order from our superiors to encircle and suppress Cao An at all costs. Your Majesty, I am now saying that I have received your Majesty's order. Please also show me the handwriting. The army has always been a place of discipline and rules. If your Excellency can now come up with the order of your Majesty, please The superior ordered me to wait and turn around immediately." Jiang Long replied with a gloomy face and a stiff tone.
At this moment, a luxurious carriage drove out from behind the eldest princess's guard, "Don't he want to read His Majesty's manuscript? Qingyue, come here and give him His Majesty's manuscript."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Seeing the arrival of the carriage, Jiang Long knew that things had changed. Jiangwutang's movements were still a step slower. As expected, the bright yellow scroll was handed out from the curtain by a white plain hand, and Qingyue took it. Then he rode his horse to the front, and the exquisite scroll fell into Jiang Long's hands.
Unable to get off the tiger, Jiang Long had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the scroll. The big seal on the scroll shocked him.
He fell to the ground again and shouted long live, and the three thousand people in the martial arts hall shouted in unison.
Qingyue raised her hand and whipped Jiang Long. The armor was shattered directly by the whip, and the skin on his entire back was torn open and blood spilled out.
"Disobeying orders is the first crime. This is for you to be taught a lesson by the superior officer of the martial arts hall."
Snapped! !
Another whip came down, "Questioning the superior officer is the second crime!"
Snapped! !
The third whip fell in response, "Disrespect to the royal family is the third crime. If you were in our army, it would not be a matter of three whips at this moment, but your head would already be on the ground. Get out."
Jiang Long didn't dare to say anything at this moment, so he forced himself to reply: "Thank you, Lord Qingyue, for showing mercy."
The army evacuated, Qingyue rode back to the carriage, "Your Highness!"
"Is it useless?"
"No, but a few months of rest are needed. The three whippings I gave you were very measured and not fatal."
"Don't worry, I'll let you do your work. Let someone take the guards back. You can go to En Street with me and meet the person who was in your position before." Fengyang's tone was ridiculing, but the female general Without any hint of shyness, he touched his chin solemnly.
"It's time to meet with the seniors and learn from their experiences."
"Bofun, if you look like this, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to get married in the future, right?"
Under Qingyue's command, the guards also evacuated, and the carriage turned into a small courtyard. After a while, Fengyang took Qingyue, who had changed into a maid's outfit, and walked out of the small courtyard. The two of them walked straight Heading towards En Street, the maid carried a knife, and even though she was wearing a blue outfit, she couldn't hide Qingyue's heroic and capable aura.
"Your Highness, it's clear that Cao An has no intention of surrendering, so why did he do this? He mobilized the bodyguards and went to the palace to ask for an imperial edict from Your Majesty." Qingyue failed to understand that if he gave out such a huge favor, others would He may not have bought it, but he also completely offended Jiangwutang.
In the past, even if everyone had some conflicts, it was everyone's own fault. It didn't matter what they did in private. As long as no obvious reasons were caught, everyone was still colleagues and polite.
But this time, it was like a direct battle between horses and horses.
"You are not as good as your senior in this respect. Being an official in the court is different from being a general in the frontier. Although you are still a military general, you have a lot to think about. What you are facing are not monsters with little wisdom. , just rush and kill, here you have to face all kinds of people, even if you don't have much scheming, you still have to be able to see clearly."
It was still a long way from the yard where Cao An settled, and Fengyang was very patient.
"Tell me, what can be seen from the actions of the people in the martial arts hall this time?"
"This... the martial arts hall wants to kill Cao An."
"This is just information on the surface. The most important thing revealed from it is that the relationship between the Marquis of Jing'an and Cao An has reached a point where it cannot be eased. In other words, there is only one thing left between them. We have a deadly feud, and there is no possibility of reconciliation, so old foxes like Marquis Jing'an, at such a sensitive period, after learning about Cao An's whereabouts, immediately launched the martial arts lecture hall to crush him directly."
Fengyang paused and then asked: "What do you think of Cao An? How strong is he?"
"Although my subordinates are at the frontier, they still know what is going on in the world. Yanshi Cao An was able to make puppets of the Heavenly Realm when he was a martial artist in Sanjing. Later, he relied on his powerful Yanshi skills to resolve crises time after time. , to defeat the Beast Control Sect, no matter what their martial arts training is, their Yanshi skills alone are equivalent to possessing an elite and powerful army."
"Yes, you see, in such a turbulent situation in the capital of the gods, unless there is a clear enemy, who would be willing to antagonize such a person at will, but the Jing'an Marquis Mansion did it, which can only prove that they are There is no room for relaxation in the relationship between them. One more person like this here is an additional threat to them. Only by completely removing this hidden danger can they feel at ease."
"I understand, my enemy's enemy is my friend!"
"Thinking about it at a deeper level, if we do this, what news will be revealed to the outside world? We don't need a real alliance or his true belonging to us, we just need to let the outside world see our attitude. I have seen Cao An He cannot be said to be a very decent person, but he will always return favors."
"This time, for us, we didn't pay much, but we could let him remember a favor. If one day, we might really be able to help. At the worst, in the eyes of the Marquis of Jing'an, Cao An is now He seems to be a member of His Majesty's line, so he can give us some strength to contain him."
Qingyue only felt that her brain was a little confused. She didn't like these twists and turns. She still preferred the atmosphere on the frontier, training, eating, and killing. She is not incapable of strategy. At least in terms of strategy and tactics, her brain is particularly useful, otherwise she would not be alive until now.
Maybe everything is just a choice of the mind, whether you like it or not.
The two of them walked and chatted, and approached Cao An's small courtyard. They happened to meet He Xiu who was leaving with the big dog, which made Fengyang look at her a few more times. Those empty and lifeless eyes were too conspicuous. .
The small courtyard in front of him was shrouded in a light golden halo. Fengyang almost didn't need to look at the house number, and he was immediately sure that this was Cao An's destination.
On the ridge of the roof, the burly man held a big bow tightly in his hand and stared out of the courtyard with burning eyes.
Fengyang waved his hand upwards, "Heavy, everyone in the Martial Arts Hall has been persuaded by me to go back."
Standing in the courtyard, Chang Qing naturally sensed Fengyang's arrival, as well as the woman next to him who was at the peak of the martial arts realm. Her true energy was extremely domineering. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that he had sensed it wrong. Why? There are women who practice such a powerful technique, and even men may not be able to withstand it.
"How about it? Open it?"
He jumped heavily off the roof, "Princess Fengyang's words are still credible."
"Then I will close the formation now, and you can go and welcome them in."
"It should be so. It's just that the development of things is probably a bit beyond Brother Cao's expectations. He has always been very resistant to being involved in the whirlpool of court battles. Now it seems that even if he doesn't want to be involved, he will be involved. I can't help myself, I wonder if he will be angry after he comes out of seclusion." Shen Zhan said worriedly.
Chang Qing has been with Cao An for a longer time, and he sees things more clearly than Shen Shen, "Let's do our own thing well. I don't think the young master will blame him. This is a conspiracy."
"If it weren't for my arrow..."
"There is no room for relaxation between Jiangwu Hall and Young Master. Whether or not there is that arrow has no impact on the direction of the whole matter. There is no need to blame yourself."
Chang Qing's figure flashed back and forth in the courtyard. After the afterimages, the pale golden light over the small courtyard disappeared without a trace. At this time, Heaviness also opened the door of the small courtyard.
"Your Highness Princess, sir, please come in!!"
