On the other side, Sheng Lingyun was as light as a swallow, walking through the night.
Feng Lin chased after him with his sword in hand.
Seeing that Sheng Lingyun was so light and capable, and fearing that he would be unable to catch up, Feng Lin's heart moved, and he traced his finger across the sword body, and the sword energy burst out.
The silver sword light was extremely eye-catching in the dark night. Sheng Lingyun felt the murderous intention behind him, but had to dodge sideways.
In just this moment, Feng Lin seized the opportunity and used his internal strength to instantly close the distance between the two.
"die!"
Feng Lin stabbed Sheng Lingyun in the throat with his sword. Sheng Lingyun took a step back to avoid the sword edge, and at the same time waved his short bow to deflect Feng Lin's long sword.
After running out of arrows, Sheng Lingyun drew an empty bow and with a bang, his inner energy condensed into an invisible arrow and shot out.
"Little tricks!"
Feng Lin snorted coldly, drew his long sword, and rolled up the wind and snow on the ground to form a wave of air, swallowing it up instantly.
The white snow air wave turned into a silver dragon and swept towards Sheng Lingyun.
Sheng Lingyun's eyes were stern, but he did not dodge or evade. He raised his energy and gathered his energy in his palms.
"drink!"
Sheng Lingyun shouted loudly, and swung out with the force of the wind and clouds in his palm. The powerful force instantly tore the silver dragon into pieces, and the scattered wind and snow carried Sheng Lingyun's internal force and rolled back towards Feng Lin.
Seeing Feng Lin being engulfed by the wind and snow, Sheng Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief and hummed softly: "To chase the wind-piercing arrow, you must have strong internal strength to support it. It's really stupid to pursue it alone and waste your life!"
Sheng Lingyun turned around to leave, but there was a response from behind.
"I have seen the exquisite skills of Xiaojianlin in Yan Kingdom today, but this is Dachu!"
Sheng Lingyun's expression froze when he heard the sound. He turned around and saw that the wind and snow slowly gathered and compressed, and actually condensed into a snowball and was dragged by Feng Lin in the palm of his hand.
"Condensing Yuan into the Mirror? It's the Jade Mirror Magic Skill. You are the disciple of Shen Yuan's Jade Bi!"
Sheng Lingyun's tone trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"You think you have some knowledge." Feng Lin sneered, "Give it back to you!"
Feng Lin exerted force with his five fingers, and the snowball suddenly exploded. The power of Sheng Lingyun's palm also burst out instantly.
"ah..."
Sheng Lingyun couldn't dodge and was shaken so hard that he flew out.
After the wind and snow raged, Feng Lin tried to step forward again, but there was no sign of Sheng Lingyun.
"Run away? Hmm..." Feng Lin frowned and wanted to pursue him again, but just as he took one step, his face suddenly turned red and blood surged, and he vomited a large mouthful of blood.
"Fortunately, this man has used up all his arrows, otherwise it would be hard to say who will win."
A trace of fear flashed in Feng Lin's eyes.
When Feng Lin returned to Zhuangzi, the old servant saw that Feng Lin's breath was unstable, frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"
"It's okay. He was more seriously injured. It's just that I couldn't catch up and let him run away."
The old servant nodded slightly, "Run away if you want. It's more important to protect the master and the fifth young master."
Feng Lin nodded and said yes.
The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Shen Xiong got up early and took Song Ying to walk around the city.
Shen Qingyun packed some things and prepared to wish Su Chengwang a happy new year.
But before leaving the uncle's house, people from the Siniang sect arrived.
"What?"
Shen Qingyun was also surprised when he heard the news that Jin Yiwei showed up to assassinate him.
"Are you going to do it on New Year's Eve? People from Yan country don't live up to the New Year?"
Shen Qingyun shook his head and quickly rushed back to Zhuangzi.
"Your Majesty."
When Si Niang saw Shen Qingyun coming, she hurried to meet him.
"Yes." Shen Qingyun nodded, "Are you okay?"
Siniang shook her head, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I'm fine."
When Shen Qingyun heard this, he looked at Zhuge Yan, who shrugged, "Don't worry, I'm fine too."
"It's okay." Shen Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is Jin Yiwei's body?"
"Taken away by people from the Seventh Department."
Shen Qingyun heard the sound and looked around, but it was an unfamiliar face.
"Who are you...?"
"Shizi Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xiang Ling rubbed his temples and said with a forced smile: "I pride myself on having a good drinker, but I can't hold up to three drinks. General Lie is really unparalleled. I'm still a little dazed even now. Woolen cloth."
Si Niang whispered beside Shen Qingyun. After hearing this, Shen Qingyun smiled and cupped her hands, "It turns out to be the Fifth Young Master. Since he is a friend of the old man, he is one of our own. If the Fifth Young Master likes it, the general will take charge of it."
"Thank you very much."
"Fifth Young Master, you are so polite." Shen Qingyun cupped his hands, "What happened last night, I would like to thank the Fifth Young Master's bodyguard for helping me and protecting Zhuangzi."
Xiang Ling waved his hand and said: "With the protection of Yulinshan, there is nothing to fear from just a few royal guards and thieves. The prince just doesn't blame Feng Lin for meddling in other people's affairs."
Feng Lin, who was behind Xiang Ling, heard this and nodded to Shen Qingyun.
"Fifth Young Master is joking." Shen Qingyun responded with a smile, and then asked Siniang: "Where is the old man?"
"I'm here."
The old servant arrived with Su Chengwang on his arm.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyun smiled bitterly and said: "I told you not to drink, so why are you trying to trick me into drinking? If something happens to you after drinking, I can't bear the responsibility."
"You kid, you are just talking alarmist. I can't bear two glasses of wine in my body?" Su Chengwang glared at Shen Qingyun.
Xiang Ling shook his head and said: "This is my fault. I originally thought that General Lie was just a little drunker than Zuixian, but I never thought that General Lie would get to this point, so I didn't stop the teacher."
"Haha... don't talk nonsense. You two, come in with me."
Su Chengwang smiled and asked the two of them to follow him.
The three of them came to the main hall. Shen Qingyun saw Su Chengwang looking at him and was stunned. Then he realized what he was doing and ordered: "Six Niangs, you guys go down first."
"yes."
Si Niang and Zhuge Yan retreated, and the old servant and Feng Lin also wisely guarded the door.
"Mysterious, what big secret do you want to reveal to me?" Shen Qingyun smiled, "Let's talk about it first, if it's troublesome, then you'd better not tell me, I've already Very annoying.”
Su Chengwang smiled and said, "Just to avoid trouble, I sent everyone away."
"Oh?" Shen Qingyun was a little curious when he heard this, and then looked at Xiang Ling.
Su Chengwang introduced: "This is not a secret. Anyway, you will know each other sooner or later. This is the fifth prince, His Highness Prince Liang."
"Fifth prince?" Shen Qingyun was startled, then reacted quickly, bowed to Xiang Ling and said, "I've met the fifth prince."
"Young Master Shen, there is no need to be polite." Xiang Ling raised his hand slightly.
Shen Qingyun asked: "It's the New Year's Day, why does the fifth prince appear here?"
"I am the King of Liang, so why should I appear in Liangzhou?"
"Uh..." Shen Qingyun hesitated and rolled his eyes.
Xiang Ling said with a smile: "I have obeyed my father's decree. I am just here to visit the teacher on horseback and in light clothes. To avoid trouble, I hope that Prince Shen will not spread the word."
"I will obey His Highness's order." Shen Qingyun responded respectfully.
Seeing Shen Qingyun's respectful attitude, Su Cheng shook his head and said with a smile, "Why don't I see you being so respectful to me on weekdays? Why, are you afraid of His Highness's status as a prince?"
Shen Qingyun glanced at Xiang Ling, shrugged helplessly and said: "Look what you said, this is the prince, your majesty's son, the whole of Dachu belongs to their family, and he is the king of Liang, in charge of the entire Liangzhou, I Can you not be afraid?"
Xiang Ling said with a smile: "Shizi Shen is joking. Although I have been granted the title of King of Liang, Liangzhou is not a vassal of this palace. Speaking of which, my years may not be as good as those of my superior, Nan Bo."
Shen Qingyun was stunned when he heard this, no, doesn't King Liang's fiefdom belong to Liangzhou? What is that called King Liang?
But you can figure it out if you think about it carefully.
Da Chu is divided into five states, with Qingzhou as the center where the imperial capital is located, Liangzhou to the southwest, Yunchuan to the north, Chongzhou to the southeast, and to the north of Liangzhou and across the Huai River is Xiping Yuezhou.
Originally, Xiping occupied the smallest area, but after the Qin was destroyed, the Chu State included all the prosperous states of the Qin State, including the capital, into its territory. Together with the Shenwu Empire that was destroyed twenty years ago, the area of Xiping is now comparable to the total area of the other four states. .
After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Emperor Wu changed Xiping's name to Yuezhou, but Chu people still used to call it Xiping.
The seventh prince Xiang Yu was named the King of Yue in Xiping. If calculated this way, Xiang Yu had already occupied half of the Chu Kingdom.
No matter how you think about it, this is impossible.
Su Chengwang explained: "Your Majesty is not a cousin, and the title often exceeds the limit. If you want to send someone out of the imperial capital to become a vassal, the title will be changed to another one. There is no need to worry about this matter."
Shen Qingyun nodded slightly and understood.
"When I was in the imperial capital, I had already heard that the prince and the princess were childhood sweethearts. My father has also promised that after the return of the dynasty, he will summon the prince to the imperial capital to marry the princess. The prince will soon become Lord Commander, speaking of which, I, as a prince, may not be as high as you."
"Your Highness is joking." Shen Qingyun shook his head, "I am just the brother-in-law of a British prince, how can I be compared with His Highness?"
Don't compliment me. I know very well who I am. Don't get too close to me.
Xiang Ling smiled slightly when he heard this, "The princess is also a county horse. The princess is a cold and beautiful woman. She has no false feelings for many princes in the imperial capital. The only difference is that she is different from the prince. It can be seen that the prince is extraordinary. When the prince and the princess are married, , must be a new noble in the imperial capital, and when the time comes, he will be surrounded by beautiful things, and I am afraid that even the invitations from this palace will not be delivered to the crown prince."
Don't be modest. It doesn't matter what your status is now, but everyone knows what status you will be in the future.
"Thanks to His Highness's auspicious words, I have always longed for the prosperity of the imperial capital. However, Liangzhou is remote, and I am afraid that I will not be knowledgeable enough to make people laugh. I am frightened in my heart. Your Highness will need to give you more advice then.
It's just a matter of words. She has the final say as to who will receive invitations and who will not. The princess is the head of the family, and she has the final say. "
Now that you know my situation, you should also know that it is not me who is in charge, and it is useless for you to be close to me.
"Haha... The princess has always been generous, how can she stop the prince from socializing?" Xiang Ling said with a smile: "I am one step ahead. When this happens, everyone in the imperial capital will be friends from now on. It is better to be kind to others than to be tit-for-tat. "
Let’s all get acquainted first, it’s not what we’re going to do, we’ll talk about the rest later.
Shen Qingyun nodded slightly, "Your Highness is right."
Hearing this, Xiang Ling smiled with satisfaction.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Su Chengwang said to Xiang Ling: "Your Highness, I heard that your Highness's bodyguard Feng Lin was injured last night. I wonder how the injury is?"
Xiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then said: "I almost forgot, the Fourth Lady sent for a doctor, I don't know if he has arrived yet, I'll go and have a look."
"Your Highness, please do as you please."
Xiang Ling left, and Shen Qingyun looked at Su Chengwang helplessly, "What kind of song are you singing?"
