At dusk, with the red sunset shining in the western sky, two women and one man sneaked out of the woods. After looking around, they got on their horses and hurried away.
Luo Ning and Pei Xiangjun followed behind, while Ye Jingtang walked in front, masked in black scarf, holding in his arms the bird that had been flying for a day and a night and was half-dead from exhaustion.
As expected by Night Terror Hall, Guan Yujia, who was seriously injured and desperate, ran along a straight line for more than 200 miles during the day and arrived in the mountains and fields more than 100 miles away from Jianyang City, which was probably where King Wu was hiding.
The three of them could cross over from the mountains, but even if they traveled a long distance to the place, it would be difficult to capture the king single-handedly. For this reason, the government should use the power of the government to encircle and suppress him. He would take advantage of the chaos to catch Zhang Jinglin, or find Xue Huhua. prescription.
After the big commotion at Tiehe Villa yesterday, many people from the Jianghu area who were not afraid of death came to watch the fun near Wuming Mountain. A lot of trivial chatter could be heard along the way:
"Ye Silang knocked down Guan Yujia with one move?"
"Why are you lying to me? I was nearby at the time, and what I saw was absolutely true. When Ye Silang was poisoned and couldn't escape, he punched Guan Yujia with his backhand and sent it flying for more than ten feet. A bunch of people were so frightened that I didn’t even dare to look at the rest..."
"According to this, when Ye Silang is at his peak, he is still not allowed to fight against the boxing champion with one hand?"
"I estimate that the master of boxing and the master of spear can fight casually. If you prepare carefully, Master Xuanji can make gestures..."
…
The Pegasus of Night Jingtang passed by each other and heard these random words but did not take them seriously. On the contrary, Pei Xiangjun and Luo Ning heard the words very vividly and even discussed them on the way:
"Ning'er, you said that if Jingtang becomes one of the Eight Greatest Leaders in the future, what name should he be called?"
"According to the rules, whoever wins the battle will be called by his name."
"What if we beat two of them?"
"two……"
Luo Ning was hesitant about this issue - in history, there were many people who picked several martial arts leaders in succession, but if you use a sword to fight as a boxing leader, and as a sword leader with a big gun, you will definitely not be able to inherit the title of the other party. You can be in the opponent's field. Only by defeating the opponent can you inherit the title. There have been several in history, and the last one was Fengguan City.
Luo Ning thought for a moment, remembered the old joke, and said:
"The ones called 'Kui' are all at the back. The first three are all four-character honorifics, 'Pingtian Cult Master', 'Xuanji Zhenren' and so on. If Ye Jingtang is the same, from now on it will be called 'Feitian Lang'" '..."
"Fei Tianlang, it feels a bit strange..."
…
Ye Jingtang was walking in front and was a little speechless when he heard these words. He wanted to slow down and interrupt, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Yang Guan from the Qinglian Gang, standing at the intersection in the distance, covering the awning with his hands and looking back and forth at the people passing by. To his side.
Ye Jingtang asked the two girls to slow down their horses and arrived first.
Yang Guan waited dryly on the roadside for a whole day. When he saw the familiar black-robed charlatan approaching, he quickly ran up to him and whispered:
"Young Master Ye, I'm Yang Guan..."
As he spoke, he secretly raised his eyes, as if to confirm something.
Ye Jingtang knew that Yang Guan felt familiar, so he directly lowered his voice and said:
"What's up?"
Yang Guan saw that the familiar ruthless man had an unkind tone, lowered his head and stopped looking around, and responded:
"Master Sanjue Immortal, asked me to wait here to send a message to Ye Shaoxia. In the morning, two masters from Junshan Terrace came to Wuming Mountain and left without stopping. Master asked Ye Shaoxia to pay more attention."
Ye Jingtang was quite surprised and asked:
"Do you know the specific whereabouts?"
"It's hard to say. Those two people are probably more powerful than my master, and no one can track them. But master suspects that Junshantai is in contact with King Wu, otherwise he wouldn't come to Tiehe Villa at this time to violate the taboo..."
Ye Jingtang exchanged a few words, remembered the news, said goodbye to Yang Guan, and left Wuming Mountain with the two girls. They only talked about the matter when they reached the unmanned official road.
Pei Xiangjun obviously understood the purpose of Junshantai's visit and said:
"Junshantai must be here to eradicate the weeds. The two kings of Yanzhou have not dealt with you. With Xuanyuan Hongzhi's temperament, it is possible to call Xuanyuan Chao here..."
Luo Ning shook her head and said: "Wuzhou is so chaotic. Xuanyuan Dynasty will not be stupid enough to come here and cause trouble. At most, Yao Wenzhong will do it."
"Comparing Yao Wenzhong and Guan Yujia, who is more powerful?"
"It's hard to say, they are not ordinary people. If there are two masters, the three of us together may not be able to beat them."
"It's better to focus on finding King Wu first and mobilize the troops from Baisu Town. Be careful on the road..."
…
——
More than a dozen official ships were sailing under the moonlight. The treasure ship in the center was brightly lit. Many palace maids and palace maids who were leaving the capital for the first time stood on the verandah of the ship building and looked at the magnificent beauty of the intersection of the two rivers at the mouth of the Wuxi River.
There is a terrace on the top floor of the ship building, which was originally used by the emperor to view the scenery. At this time, there were carved soft couches and painted tables on it. Several palace maids were holding lamps next to it, and Hongyu was cutting watermelons next to it.
The plump Queen Mother was afraid that the six ministers would find out that she had followed her out, so she dressed up like a female official, but her demeanor was still very elegant and noble. She stood in front of the painting table, holding a water sleeve in her left hand and a paintbrush in her right hand. She first carefully looked at the shore.
The dangerous peaks under the moonlight, and then I drew a pen on the paper - two towering big steamed buns, with a black circle on them...
Dongfang Liren was dressed in a silver python robe, standing with his hands behind his hands by the balcony fence, looking at the Imperial Guards on the ship. He had the aura of a 'conqueror in person', but what he was thinking about was - it's over, I haven't practiced the Overlord Spear yet, listen.
Wind Palm is not that good either. If Ye Jingtang meets him, he will be regarded as a stupid prince again... We can't let the fleet slow down and move slowly...
Just when Dongfang Liren was thinking wildly, a familiar word suddenly sounded from behind:
"What are you drawing?"
The voice was natural, as if it was always behind him, but the ethereal and clear tone seemed to come from outside.
Because the sound was so natural, Hongyu, who was playing with the watermelon, didn't notice that there was another person on the terrace.
The Queen Mother, who was immersed in painting, replied rather unhappily:
"The landscape painting, doesn't it look like what I painted...eh?!"
After saying this, the Queen Mother realized something and quickly turned around, only to see a tall woman standing behind her.
The woman is wearing a black and white Taoist robe, her black hair is tied up with a silver lotus crown, her face is covered with a veil, only a pair of approachable peach blossom eyes are exposed, her wrist is leaning on a whisk, and with the aura of otherworldly fireworks, she looks like
An accomplished man who just came down from the mountain.
The Queen Mother's eyes visibly started to glow, and the brush in her hand fell to the ground. After confirming that it was not an hallucination, she raised her hand and gave her a bear hug:
"You're such a heartless person, you're here. Do you know how I came here this year? I was not allowed to leave the Liren Gate. Whenever I went out, there was thunder and rain, and the assassins..."
"Okay, okay, I'm here right now..."
"Why do you dress up so seriously?"
"I was not serious before?"
"Um."
"Oh, there are courtiers on board. It's not good to be seen dressed too casually."
"Too……"
…
Dongfang Liren watched the Queen Mother holding her tightly and not letting go. He didn't even have the chance to come forward to talk. After the Queen Mother finished speaking, he came closer and bowed:
"Master, why are you here suddenly?"
"I just finished my retreat in the mountains. I wanted to go directly to Beijing. I heard on the way that you had come to Wuzhou, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect that the Queen Mother was also there."
Seeing that there was no one else on the boat, Master Xuanji threw the fly whisk and veil to Hongyu next to him, came to Dongfang Liren, and straightened the skirt of his python robe:
"It's been a year since I last saw you, and I'm a little older than before."
To ordinary people, these words may sound like condolences from an elder, but Dongfang Liren didn't think so. He raised his head slightly and said:
"I've always been this old. It's been too long since I've seen you, Master."
"Haha~ I haven't given you a good foundation since you were a child. I haven't seen you for a year, but have you found the one you like? Are you on board?"
The Queen Mother's lips curled up slightly when she heard this, wanting to help answer.
As a result, Dongfang Liren quickly and quietly waved his hands behind his back, pretending to be calm and said:
"Master, don't be joking. The capital is busy with affairs. I don't even have time to relax, so how can I find the right person..."
When Master Xuanji saw that Dongfang Liren's reaction was not natural, he understood something in his heart and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he inquired:
"I heard in the Jianghu that there is a very powerful chief arrester in the Black Yamen. I have never seen him before. Is this possible?"
Dongfang Liren thought for a while: "There is a man named Ye. He came to the capital in April. I just inspected him. He has good character and ability. I just let him enter the black yamen."
Master Xuanji nodded thoughtfully, but did not see Dongfang Liren's specific attitude towards Ye Jingtang. He could not figure it out for the time being, and did not talk more about this matter. He turned around and hugged the Queen Mother's waist and walked into the house.
:
"Do you have any wine? I finished drinking on the way and I feel exhausted..."
"Yes. I thought I would meet you in Xiwang Town. I specially prepared the best Yuchun Yaki from Longyin Tower for you..."
"Really, let's take a walk..."
——
The next day, inside Fulong Cave.
Hundreds of soldiers from Prince Wu's Mansion were patrolling behind the stone wall, and three figures walked toward the depths of the cave.
Bai Siming, who was wearing a scholar's robe, walked at the front with his hands behind his back and said seriously:
"You two came here in time. If you were a step slower, Junshantai might not have a place in the world in the future. You two have already seen the magical effects of Xue Hu Powder, and the 'Tianlang Pearl' has been made into a medicine. We are testing the medicine.
The person is Ye Silang, the young master of Honghua Tower..."
Behind Bai Siming were Yao Wenzhong and Xuanyuan Hongzhi wearing black cloaks.
Xuanyuan Hongzhi came here originally to find out the whereabouts of Ye Jingtang and to eradicate the root cause; but as soon as he came into contact with Bai Siming, he heard the news about two magical medicines.
Xuanyuan Hongzhi is in charge of Junshantai's accounting office, and he understands better than anyone else how valuable 'Xuehusan' is. As long as it is managed well, it will not be a problem to trample under the feet of rich people like Honghualou.
And if something like the 'Tianlang Pearl' is as Bai Siming said, it can make people take a big step forward, the consequences will be even more terrifying. First use the Snow Lake Powder to make money, and then rely on the Tianlang Pearl to create countless masters.
With these two things, one can independently dominate one side in remote areas.
For this reason, even though the serious enemy was still nearby, Xuanyuan Hongzhi was still attracted by these two things, and asked while walking:
"I have seen the Snow Lake Powder with my own eyes. It is indeed a treasure in the world, but assisting King Wu to leave the country is a fool's errand. This thing alone is not enough. This Tianlang Bead... Brother Bai, are you sure there is such a thing in the world?"
Bai Siming now felt confident and chuckled:
"In the past, I would have hesitated before answering. But the night before yesterday, the two of you should have known about Yu Jia's banquet with heroes at Tiehe Villa. The young master of Honghua Mansion was hit by a Tianlang Pearl, and then shot three times
The jade armor was seriously injured with one punch, and the two of them asked if it wasn't the effect of this magical medicine, what could it be?"
Xuanyuan Hongzhi had seen Ye Silang with his own eyes and knew his strength clearly. He felt that this statement was reasonable and nodded lightly.
"There is no shortage of buyers for these two magic medicine prescriptions. Now Pingtian Sect, Jieyun Palace, and Duanbeiya are all contacting the prince. Junshantai's power has returned to the great power, but speaking of it, they are only the county princes of Zezhou, and they are still in contact with the prince.
If there is not enough sincerity in the inner circle of the Wei Dynasty, the prince may not really appreciate it..."
Yao Wenzhong frowned secretly, but in terms of Junshantai's weight in the world situation, there was indeed a gap between Junshantai and the Pingtian Sect, which relied on King Yan's Jieyun Palace and established itself as king, so he didn't say anything about it.
The three of them walked forward and soon reached the depths of the cave. After passing through mountains of medicinal herbs, they arrived at the residence of King Wu.
Xuanyuan Hongzhi and Yao Wenzhong came forward to pay their respects. In order to teach them that "seeing is believing", Bai Siming went to the platform at the back where dozens of medicine stoves were placed to get medicine. From a distance, he saw the weak-looking Guan Yujia, standing in front of the medicine shelf.
Pacing back and forth, slightly confused, he asked:
"Brother Guan hasn't used the Daliang Pearl yet?"
Guan Yujia just ran back to Fulong Cave yesterday afternoon. He was originally going to give himself one directly, but when he got the medicine, he felt a little guilty. Seeing Bai Siming come back, he said:
"If Ye Silang's power surged, he shouldn't have let me go at that time. I don't know what will happen next. What if his body explodes and dies after his power surges..."
Bai Siming shook his head: "Impossible. Mr. Zhang said that if you can stay calm and your strength doubles, it means it is a patent medicine. If he can't hold it, the first blow he hits you will damage your Qi meridians..."
Guan Yujia frowned and said, "Then why did Ye Silang suddenly stop and let me go?"
Bai Siming opened his mouth, feeling that this issue was indeed crucial. Before he could think of the specific reason, there were sudden footsteps outside, and a soldier quickly came over and whispered:
"Sir, an urgent report has just been sent. Thousands of soldiers and horses are suddenly coming towards Fulong Cave. The vanguard scouts are already thirty miles away and will arrive in a few hours at most..."
When Bai Siming heard this, his face turned pale. Just as he was about to ask the officers and soldiers how they discovered their whereabouts, Guan Yujia next to him suddenly realized:
"No wonder... this Ye Silang may also be from the imperial court. He is deliberately letting the tiger return to the mountain and following me to find Fulong Cave. That means there is no problem with this medicine..."
?!
Bai Siming raised his finger and pointed at the official jade armor. It was the time when he was employing people, so it was not easy to curse, so he suppressed his anger and said:
"You will take the medicine later and transfer it first. Who will take care of you now that you are taking it?"
Guan Yujia saw with his own eyes that this magical medicine took effect as soon as it was used and did not require any care at all.
However, Guan Yujia is not sure how long this incomplete version of Tianlang Pearl will last and how many times he will eat it.
When escaping, you encounter a roadblock, and then use this medicine to surprise the court masters, which seems to make the best use of everything...
