"Shen Yu, I found it for you. Is this the fish you want? I hope so. I really can't find any other fish... Mi Fei will send it to you, hoping it can be cured. Your headache. Actually... I really want to see you no longer have a headache. Unfortunately, I am a princess and can no longer leave the palace at will... Do you remember what you promised? You said that if you find the fish you want, Just promise me one wish. I want you to fulfill your promise - leave Jingyi, leave Yingdu, immediately! No matter where you go, don't stay here. In fact, I really want to hear you say it to me again, fellow Taoist Withstand it...it's so funny..."
The light and shadow disappeared, and the shadow jade ornament fell back into Wu Sheng's palm.
Wu Sheng stared blankly at the disappearing light and shadow, enduring the severe tearing pain in his consciousness. After a long time, he calmed down and let out a sigh of relief.
The moon and stars were sparse, and the night wind brought with it the chill and the sound of pine waves. The valley in the autumn night seemed particularly desolate.
This was the second night of his escape. He had traveled more than 200 miles south from Jingyi and rested in this unknown valley.
In order to ensure the absolute safety of the eldest princess Jian Jia, the two masters of Chu Palace want to get rid of themselves. If they don't escape, what can they do?
Grand Secretary Gong Chengzi Qiao is at the pinnacle of Xu refining, almost a Taoist figure, and Huan Lie Yin Doumu is also an advanced practitioner of Xu refining. If Jian Jia hadn't held them back, he would have died long ago, right?
After pondering for a moment, Wu Sheng once again held up the jade ornament that captured the photo.
"Shen Yu, I found it for you. Is this the fish you want? I hope so..."
In the light and shadow, Jian Jia was leaning on the pavilion by the pool with a smile, talking to herself. Her smile was so sweet and helpless, and her tears were not wiped away...
Wu Sheng had a splitting headache and wanted to split his head open in pain, but he insisted on watching the light and shadow until he saw Jian Jia finished her last sentence and looked at the pool at her feet, trying to cover up her dazzling appearance. When he burst into tears, the light and shadow naturally dissipated, and he finally shouted "Ah".
He squatted on the ground and gasped for air. The sweat on his forehead dripped down the tip of his nose and was quickly absorbed by the mud under his feet.
The strange laughter of a night owl came from not far away, which seemed particularly scary in the dark night.
Wu Sheng wiped the sweat off his face and looked towards the place where the owl sounded.
Amidst the slight rustling of the branches and leaves, someone floated to the ground and looked at Wu Sheng: "Shen Yu, how did you get here?"
Wu Sheng saw the person coming clearly and asked, "Zhuan Zhu, are you sent by the Chu people to chase me?"
Zhuan Zhu said: "Living in Chu, I have no choice but to listen to others' orders."
Wu Sheng asked: "How is Jian Jia...?"
Zhuan Zhu said: "She is still in Qiuyuan and has not let go, so Da Sigong and Huan Lieyin are with her, unable to move for the time being. However, it must be very tiring to support her so sleeplessly. I don't know if she can hold on. Until when."
Wu Sheng asked: "Is she... in danger?"
Zhuan Zhu shook his head: "As long as you leave, it will be fine. After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the King of Chu, so what danger can there be? To say it is dangerous, maybe she is too sad, because her father, the King, also has you."
Wu Sheng nodded and said to Zhuanzhu: "Please!"
Zhuan Zhu drew his sword, and Wu Sheng also drew his sword. After a moment of confrontation, Zhuan Zhu asked, "Where is your grass?"
Wu Sheng pointed out of the air, and a field of flowers, plants, vines and trees appeared in front of his eyes.
The sword flashed and the flowers, plants, vines and trees were shattered.
Zhuan Zhu sheathed his sword: "Let you escape."
Wu Sheng smiled and said, "How can I regain my life when I go back?"
Zhuan Zhu said: "They asked me to find you, and I found you. That's enough. If they want to be more demanding, I'll take action. What else do you want? Besides, I don't plan to go back to resume my life..."
Wu Sheng disagreed: "No, you have to go back."
Zhuan Zhu shook his head and said, "I can't go back. Once I go back, the Academy will definitely come after me, which will not be good for you or Jian Jia."
Wu Sheng was puzzled: "Why is the Academy looking for you?"
Zhuan Zhu said: "Do you still remember the first time you and Jian Jia met in Pengcheng?"
How could Wu Sheng not remember? He suddenly felt in a daze.
Zhuan Zhudao: "That time a robbery happened in Pengcheng that shocked the world. The second time you met was in Yangzhou, where Zuolang was assassinated."
Wu Sheng nodded and said, "So, you already knew who I was."
Zhuan Zhu said: "When Da Si Gong and Dou Huan Lie were investigating you, they alarmed Shen Zhuliang, who was walking in Yingdu. Shen Sutu was not dead. That was the news given by Shen Zhuliang. Shen Sutu was imprisoned in the heavy prison of the Academy. . Shen Zhuliang has developed a strong interest in you, so if I go back this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the punishment and surrender you, which will not be good. Haha..."
Zhuan Zhu specially brought a bag of fish, made a fire on the spot, and cooked a fish feast for Wu Sheng: "I can't repay you, so I can only treat you to fish." He was not short of money, but what was bad was the concept of repayment. , always believed that kendo cannot be measured by money, and Wu Sheng had nothing to do about it.
"Wait...what does your sword look like?"
"Ha, it still takes three years to polish it."
"The way you polish your sword embryo is to spear a fish and eat it?"
"Add some fireworks to make it even better, try it..."
"It's really good..."
After a fish feast, Zhuan Zhu left. Before leaving, he suggested to Wu Sheng: "Shen Yu, don't have any extravagant expectations. You and I are the same kind of people. We are different from Jian Jia. She is the princess's daughter. She was born with The closer she is to people like us, the more dangerous she is."
Wu Shengkong sat for a moment and turned on the photo-taking jade device again. The scenery of the autumn garden appeared in front of him again. The Jian Jia beside the pavilion and waterside pavilion became more and more beautiful. The fish in the pond seemed to be attracted by her appearance and gathered under the pavilion. , spitting out a string of bubbles in the pool, listening to her talk: "Shen Yu, I found it for you..."
A violent tearing feeling acted on his consciousness, making Wu Sheng extremely painful. He quickly put away the jade ornaments and ran wildly under the moonlit night, walking through the barren mountains and ridges, with leaves flying around him and the mountain wind behind his ears. Howling and running until dawn, the headache symptoms eased, and then slowly stopped.
As the sky became brighter and the morning fog rose, the mountains became a bit more ethereal. Wu Sheng was not interested in admiring the ethereal scenery in the mountains, but looked ahead.
Ahead is a bamboo forest. The tall bamboos are green and straight. They look extremely quiet in the morning mist. As Wu Sheng stares, a man walks out of the mist. He is dressed in black clothes and looks like a man in his forties or fifties. By.
"Shen Yu, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" the elder in black asked.
"Who are you?" Wu Sheng pinched his temples and looked at the other person with squinted eyes. Anyone who can intercept him in these barren mountains and ridges is undoubtedly a master, and his cultivation level is no less than his own, or even far superior, such as Zhuan Zhu, and the black-clothed elder in front of him must not be much different.
Black clothes? Wu Sheng suddenly thought of this problem and couldn't help but feel even more headache.
As expected, the other party smiled and introduced himself: "I am Shen Zhuliang, a student from Yingdu."
