Chapter Fourteen: The Story of Cinderella and the Prince
In Kaifeng City, Wanyan Honglie looked at the news he had just received and fell into deep thought.
Three days ago, he received the last news from Akang, asking him to rush to Zhongdu City as soon as possible. His father was about to die, so the Sixth Prince of the Jin Kingdom left Kaifeng with hundreds of guards, but before he could walk on
After traveling hundreds of miles, he received the news that Zhongdu City was closed. The delay in information put him in a dilemma.
To be on the safe side, Wanyan Honglie returned to Kaifeng City and waited for further news, which lasted three days.
Zhongdu City was sealed and no news could be conveyed. The purpose of Prince Wanyan Hongyu's sealing of the city was not only to arrest Yang Kang, but also to give himself time to prepare.
In the past three days, the people of the Prince's family carefully cleaned up the forces left by the Zhao Palace in Zhongdu City. If Yang Kang hid with the forces pro-Zhao Palace, he would definitely be captured. No one thought that Yang Kang relied on Jianghu gangs.
With his strength, he was lucky enough to escape the disaster.
After clearing away the influence of Prince Zhao's Mansion, Wanyan Hongyu still had to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, forge edicts, and arrange the ceremony, which all took time. However, Zhongdu City could not be closed for too long, otherwise rumors would spread.
What Wanyan Honglie received was the news that the late emperor had passed away and that the prince was about to ascend the throne with the support of all the ministers. He learned from secret channels what happened in Zhongdu City that night. Combining all the information, he determined that Akang
He had brought the Imperial Seal out of Zhongdu City and was on his way to escape. This was the reason why the prince sent troops to search everywhere.
But which path will Akang take?
Yang Kang and Mu Nianci were walking on a country road. They did not take the official road, but took a more tortuous road. This was the same road that Qiu Chuji took him to take.
It was at the turn of spring and summer, the weather was comfortable and suitable, the fields were green with wheat seedlings, and the wildflowers on the roadside were blooming. They were walking and walking, talking and laughing, and it seemed more like they were on an outing than on the run.
This is Yang Kang taking care of Mu Nianci's injury, but Mu Nianci has followed Yang Tiexin and is used to living in the rivers and lakes living in the open. Her body is not that delicate, and children from poor families have always been hard-working. She thinks Yang Kang walks too slowly, but
She also likes this kind of time to talk and laugh freely.
Ever since Mu Nianci entered Prince Zhao's Mansion and came into contact with everything in the Prince's Mansion, she knew that this was another world. In the Prince's Mansion, she could not talk or laugh loudly, walk around at will, or show her emotions. She had to learn to be patient, even though it included
It's good to treat her weakly, but she can't ignore the rules because of it.
Sometimes she would watch A'kang from the sidelines, watching him reading, watching him joking, watching him frowning in thought...
However, Mu Nianci felt that she and A'kang had nothing to say. The world she knew was completely different from the world A'kang knew, separated like a chasm between them. But when they left Prince Zhao's Mansion and walked in the countryside,
Sometimes, girls feel that the gap becomes smaller.
At A'kang's urging, Mu Nianci began to talk about the days she and Yang Tiexin spent traveling around these years. She originally thought that A'kang would be impatient to hear these trivial matters, but she didn't expect that A'kang was listening carefully, and he would also talk from time to time.
He expressed some emotions that life is not easy, which resonated with girls.
If it were Wan Yankang, the young prince of the Jin Kingdom, he would definitely not be interested in these trivial folk affairs, but Yang Kang, the time traveler, was not like that. Before he time traveled, he was an ordinary person and understood the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of ordinary people, so he was
Feel the same.
It was this attitude of recognition that made Mu Nianci feel that she and A'kang were the same kind of people. A'kang was indeed the child of his adoptive father, and they were both so kind-hearted. The girl thought happily in her heart.
In this way, the two of them laughed all the way towards Zhongnan Mountain.
Prince Wanyan Hongyu's pursuers came to the small town where Mu Nianci was seeking medical treatment. They were looking for two children, one of whom was injured. When the sergeant went to the drug store and questioned him, he found out that the two children were walking this way.
Road, this road leads to Chang'an City.
Thinking of Chang'an City, Wanyan Hongyu couldn't help but think of the negotiation between him and Wanyan Honglie a year ago on whether the child should serve as the headmaster of the Quanzhen Sect. In the end, Wanyan Honglie did not agree to his conditions, and the child did not become the headmaster of the Quanzhen Sect.
, but was succeeded by an old Taoist priest.
Is there any conspiracy in this?
No matter what conspiracy he had, the most important thing was to catch the child and retrieve the imperial seal. So Wanyan Hongyu mobilized thousands of troops and went straight to the Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain. If the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect dared to protect the child
, then the only way is to defeat the Chongyang Palace.
After Wanyan Honglie received the news, he confirmed that A'kang was fleeing towards Zhongnan Mountain, and also sent out troops, including martial arts masters such as Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian. They must rescue A'kang and obtain the imperial seal, but they are better than the prince's.
The men and horses spend three or four days at night.
Yang Kang didn't know that in order to obtain the imperial seal, two groups of people sent by the two kings of Jin were heading to Zhongnan Mountain as fast as possible. He and Mu Nianci were still walking slowly, and when they encountered a village, they asked the villagers to stay overnight.
, if you can’t find one, just find a cave in the wilderness and make do.
At night, when they cuddled together, it was not cold, but rather warm. At this time, Yang Kang would tell Mu Nianci some weird stories, which the girls had never heard before, and found them very fresh.
In particular, a story about Cinderella and the prince kept Mu Nianci in mind. She also wanted to meet a kind-hearted fairy, put on those glass slippers, and finally live a happy life with the prince. Although girls don't
I don’t know what a glass slipper looks like, but I imagine it must be extremely beautiful.
Along the way, they got to know each other again. Sometimes when their eyes met, they would smile at each other. Mu Nianci lowered her head, and Yang Kang was still holding his hand. No matter what was ahead, she would follow.
.
But they didn't know that the situation in Zhongnan Mountain had already changed dramatically. When the prince's pursuers came to the Chongyang Palace, Yang Kang and Mu Nianci were still telling stories in the mountains and fields. Song Daoan, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, faced the aggressive Jin Kingdom general.
He could explain again and again that he had not seen Wan Yankang, the young prince of the Kingdom of Jin.
The general of the Kingdom of Jin indeed found no trace of Wan Yankang all the way, but they did not leave. Instead, they laid a large net in Zhongnan Mountain. As soon as the child showed up, he would be unable to escape.
Song Daoan was sitting on the futon in the Chongyang Hall, meditating quietly.
A year has passed, and the statue of Zhenren Chongyang has been rebuilt. It is taller and more powerful than the statue that was broken by Ouyang Feng. Facing the statue of Wang Chongyang, Song Daoan was thinking about a question. Should he send someone to inform him?
Yang Kang doesn’t want to come to Chongyang Palace?
Zhongnan Mountain is the birthplace of the Quanzhen Sect. As long as he gives an order, countless people will report the news, but he is hesitant. In the past year, he has been in charge of the Quanzhen Sect and has enjoyed the ability to call the wind and rain and be worshiped by believers.
The wonderful feeling of worship, but two years later, he would put down this honor and return to his previous job as a handyman, giving way to a child.
What will other people think? What will those believers think? Will you be willing to do it?
