The refugees consciously moved to the back of the team one by one, gathering together and not daring to move around at will.
The coachmen each found their own carriages, carefully picking up the goods on the carriage to see if there were any missing items, or nodding and bending down, asking in a low voice whether the owner of the carriage was frightened.
The man with a dark face and a big beard silently gathered the officers and soldiers into formation, and did not give any special treatment to the officers and soldiers who retreated from the battle. He let them pick up their discarded equipment and return to the line as if nothing had happened.
After arranging the injured and burying the dead, two teams of officers and soldiers were sent to deal with the roadblocks on the official road ahead, and a team of officers and soldiers returned to the customs to report the situation.
After the affairs of the front and rear teams were settled, the black-faced man hesitated and walked towards the carriage where Luo Chuan was. At this moment, there was already a large area near the carriage, and the carriage and the refugees consciously dispersed and stayed away.
Before he could reach the carriage, he saw two people walking out of the woods on the hillside not far away from the corner of his eyes, and he suddenly stood still in awe.
Two middle-aged men walked out of the forest. From a distance, they looked like twin brothers. They wore the same style of light blue loose robes, the same blue scarf tied up their hair, and the same carried exquisite long swords.
Even the way they walk is similar.
Only when you get closer can you see some differences. One looks older, his long beard is half white, his cheeks are thin, and his cheekbones are prominent. His appearance is not only far from immortal, but rather sinister; the other is older.
A little smaller, but there are wrinkles on the forehead, the face is square and upright, the lowered eyes are energetic, the lips are full, and the smile is serious.
The two Taoists walked side by side, not paying attention to the timid looks of everyone on the official road, and walked straight to the carriage where Luo Chuan was sitting. Seeing that the old man sitting on the sword didn't appear to be the first to speak, the two looked at each other, and the older and ferocious man
The Taoist priest held up his hands as a courtesy and said, "Senior, I have come to express my gratitude for your help."
His voice was steady and calm, and he was actually a very nice male voice, much more outstanding than his appearance.
The old man sitting on the sword smiled and nodded in return, "Wangchuan Sword Sect suppresses the destiny of the human race. We are destined to meet each other. I dare not call you senior, and we cannot talk about helping each other. The thief may hurt my son, so I will naturally take action.
Protect each other.”
The two Taoists looked at each other again.
In the Dading Dynasty, the title of "gongzi" was not something that just any child from a wealthy family dared to use. Since three hundred years ago, the title "gongzi" has become a privilege that can only be used by the direct descendants of the prefects of each county. Even in the imperial capital of Zhongjing, some dignitaries
The direct descendants of the minister's family can also be called sons, but most of them are not as confident as the descendants of the county governor's family.
Because of the thirty-two counties in the world, except for a few in Zhongzhou that are close to Zhongjing County, the prefects of the other counties are all overlords with real power. Their status in the counties under their jurisdiction is hereditary and their power is huge. The marriage relationships between them are complicated.
They have long been de facto "princes" that are difficult for the emperor to control.
Just when the three of them were silent, the door curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Luo Chuan and the heroic woman jumped out of the carriage.
Luo Chuan walked up to the two Taoists, cupped his fists and saluted, then smiled and said, "Junior Luo Chuan, thank you two seniors for helping me earlier. Otherwise, even with the protection of my uncle Jiang, he would inevitably be in danger. This life-saving kindness to Luo Chuan
Never forget."
The old man sitting on the sword glanced at Luo Chuan's side face, then turned his head to look at the horse's ass and ignored everyone.
The Taoist with a serious square face among the two Taoist priests squeezed out a smile and nodded to Luochuan as a greeting. The Taoist priest, who still looked fierce, said, "It turns out that he is the young master from the prefect's family in Li County. The young master is leaving Beijing and returning.
Township?"
Luo Chuan smiled bitterly, "To be honest with you two seniors, I have been living in Zhongjing City since childhood due to the great favor of His Majesty the Emperor. I shouldn't have left the capital city. However, His Majesty the Emperor passed away suddenly some time ago, and a minister came to convey the Queen's decree.
I was given the gift to go back to my hometown, but I thought it was against the rules, so I stayed in the capital and didn’t leave. Unexpectedly..." He sighed softly, "Unexpectedly, the people of the same generation around the place where I lived left one by one. Then
This area has attracted the attention of many thieves, and I am afraid that I will die if I continue to live there, so I decided to go back to my hometown for a while and wait until the new emperor ascends the throne and order is restored in the capital before returning."
After hearing what Luo Chuan said, the ferocious-looking Taoist priest immediately asked, "Master, are you saying that after His Majesty's death, the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne? Since the prince of the East Palace of my Dading Dynasty is still alive, how could the empress's decree be revealed outside the palace wall?
Minister passed it on?"
"If the Crown Prince of the East Palace is still here, it will be delayed until now without a new emperor taking the throne," Luo Chuan sighed. "Not long after the news of His Majesty's death came to the palace a month ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace was too sad.
As soon as he got sick, he quickly followed His Majesty the Emperor. Although these are all rumors, since the Empress has already come to power, it probably cannot be true. It is just a pity for the generous and kind-hearted Crown Prince."
He glanced at the expressions on the faces of the two Taoists with regret and lowered his voice and said, "It is said in the market that the immortal Lu Zu has passed away, and there must be a great demon causing trouble in Zhongzhou. The death of His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was caused by the great demon.
....." He paused and continued, "I don't quite believe it. Lu Zu, a god-like figure, naturally has the same good fortune and longevity, not to mention the mere demon clan, Wangchuan Sword Sect's three thousand sword cultivators are enough to suppress it.
.”
The two Taoists looked serious and said nothing.
Luo Chuan's smile froze there, "Two seniors, could it be that...?"
The square-faced Taoist priest looked solemnly into the distance, while the ferocious-looking Taoist priest took a deep look at Luo Chuan and said, "The things in the palace are not something that we two Taoist monks can understand. As for the Wangchuan Sword Sect...
.." He smiled faintly, "I want to give you a piece of advice, don't deify Wangchuan, and don't underestimate the demon clan."
Luo Chuan restrained his free and casual expression like that of a rich man, but solemnly and solemnly bowed his fists again, "Senior, treat each other with sincerity, Luo Chuan should also reciprocate with sincerity," he took two steps forward and approached the two of them.
The Taoist priest was half a meter in front of him, but he didn't know that just as he was moving, four qi machines were mysteriously entangled for a moment near the carriage. He just lowered his voice and said in an almost murmured voice, "The imperial capital is in chaos now.
Above the hall, the queen and her daughter-in-law could no longer suppress the situation. The courtiers all wanted to retreat. Even the important ministers had returned to their hometowns in the prefectures and counties, not to mention the hostages returning to their hometowns. The person behind this was definitely not a great demon if not a great demon.
Good people, the chaos has been decided; among the rivers and lakes, Wangchuan Jianxiu and others entered the capital in one step, but only the next day they were killed and their corpses were exposed on the street... Not only that, but also
Rumors are spreading all over the capital, and the chaos of the various forces is simply indescribable. The two seniors must not enter the capital at this time!"
The square-faced Taoist priest stared at the carriage beside him thoughtfully, but the ferocious-looking Taoist priest said calmly, "Master said that since the Wangchuan Sword Sect suppresses the destiny of the human race, the human race will naturally go down the mountain to catastrophe when it is in trouble. This time the demon clan has
My brothers have come to the capital to stir up trouble, and they cannot ignore it. Even if the situation in the capital is really as dangerous as the young master said, the big deal is..."
"Wrong!" Luo Chuan suddenly interrupted the Taoist priest. The look between his brows seemed disappointed and angry, but also impassioned.
At that moment, a handsome man less than half a meter away from the two Taoist priests.
