Deep in the mountains and swamps, lush and green, a cliff welcomes the morning sun. Under an old pine tree, on a swing, Guan Fangyi is sitting on it, swinging with her skirts fluttering, leisurely and contented.
Not far away, Niu Youdao was sitting cross-legged and meditating facing the rising sun.
Gongsun Bu flew up the mountain and reminded him from a distance, "Master Tao!"
Niu Youdao heard the sound and finished his work. He slowly opened his eyes and stood up. Gongsun Bu came forward and reported: "The war in Nanzhou is almost over. It is coming to an end. If nothing goes wrong, Nanzhou will fall in Tianyu."
The goal is a foregone conclusion."
Niu Youdao shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "I thought the fight would last for a while, but I didn't expect it to end so soon. It seems that we can't make plans if we don't advance. Let's inform the monkey and take action!"
"Yes!" Gongsun Bu agreed and walked down the mountain.
Guan Fangyi, who had her legs crossed on the swing, floated out along the swing and landed next to Niu Youdao, asking: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Niu Youdao: "There are some things that you don't need to ask. If you ask me, I won't tell you. You will know it when you need to know it. Just don't cause problems to the people over there."
Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Don't worry, Uncle Chen will take the people himself, and he will listen to your red-faced command."
…
In Jinzhou, a carriage and a dozen followers, dressed in simple and low-key clothing, came out of the east city gate.
Xiao Tianzhen in the carriage seemed to be a lot taller, and his face had color, and he also looked a lot more mature. However, there was an occasional gloomy look in his eyes, and he glanced at Yuan Gang who was sitting beside him in the car from time to time.
Yuan Gang closed his eyes and rested, his face expressionless. He knew Xiao Tianzhen was sizing him up.
After learning about the relationship between Yuan Gang and Hai Ruyue, Niu Youdao asked him to come to Hai Ruyue quietly.
After arriving here, Yuan Gang was a little surprised. Xiao Tianzhen repeatedly expressed his intention to have private contact with him.
Yuan Gang had ignored it before, but after receiving the news about Niu Youdao, he finally agreed and went hunting with Xiao Tianzhen.
The group of people left the city dozens of miles and came to a mountain forest. It was difficult for the carriage to move forward. The people in the carriage got off. Xiao Tianzhen and Yuan Gang both put on their horses, loaded their bows and arrows on their backs, and broke into the vast mountains.
Yuan Gang was carrying a bow and arrow and had no intention of hunting, but Xiao Tianzhen pulled out the bow a few times and fired a few arrows, only hitting a rabbit. Regardless of his archery skills, compared with his sick body that could not do strenuous exercise back then, Xiao Tianzhen is now
My body has improved countless times.
It was just such a rabbit, but Xiao Tianzhen was very enthusiastic about it. He asked Yuan Gang to help wash and skin it, and he picked up dry firewood and lit a fire on a small hill.
Yuan Gang came back from washing and skinning the rabbit by the stream, and roasted it on the fire at Xiao Tianzhen's signal.
Sitting by the fire, roasting the rabbit, Yuan Gang glanced around and found that the accompanying guards had been driven away by Xiao Tianzhen and were guarding the surrounding hills. He didn't know what Xiao Tianzhen wanted to do when he asked him to come out to meet him.
.
When he glanced at Xiao Tianzhen, he found that Xiao Tianzhen was also staring at him, with a deep meaning in his eyes.
"Is there something wrong with the governor?" Yuan Gang asked.
Xiao Tianzhen: "Assist? Does Brother Yuan think I am qualified to be the governor of Jinzhou?"
Yuan Gang didn't understand what he meant: "Isn't the young master the governor of Jinzhou?"
Xiao Tianzhen said without hesitation: "I am just a puppet in name only. It is my mother who truly holds the power of Jinzhou."
Yuan Gang: "In any case, it's in the hands of you, mother and son."
Xiao Tianzhen said nonchalantly: "I have reached adulthood, and it is logical that I should take over military and political affairs. However, my mother is unwilling to delegate power. Maybe some people do not want me to take charge."
The topic became increasingly sensitive. Yuan Gang did not expect that he would say such things to an outsider. Hearing this, his brows jumped and he flipped the roasted rabbit in his hand, "Who doesn't want the young master to be in power?"
Xiao Tianzhen's eyes flashed with gloom, and the unsightly scenes of Li Wuhua and Hai Ruyue, the elders of Wandong Tianfu, flashed in his mind. He took a deep breath and changed the subject: "I heard that Prince Yongping has launched an attack on Nanzhou.
The attack is so swift and fierce that taking Nanzhou is a sure thing."
Yuan Gang looked at him, wondering what he meant by this.
Xiao Tianzhen: "If the cultivation sect has too strong control over the world, neither the people in Nanzhou nor the people in Jinzhou will have a good time. If the two sides unite, there will be great potential. As far as I know, Niu Youdao is right
The Shang Chaozong has a great influence and has always shared the worries of the Shang Chaozong. I also hope that Brother Yuan can help send a message to Niu Youdao, hoping that we can find a way to meet and talk."
Yuan Gang finally understood what he meant. He was tied up inside Jinzhou and hoped to seize power with the help of external forces.
"Okay!" Yuan Gang responded, pulled out the Sanhou Sword behind him, flipped the blade over, stretched out his hand, and the knife was already placed on Xiao Tianzhen's neck.
Xiao Tianzhen was a little confused and stammered: "You...what do you want to do?"
Yuan Gang picked up his chin with the blade of the knife in his hand, and stood up with him.
"Bold!" A guard at the foot of the hill noticed him, and shouted angrily as he scurried over.
Yuan Gang smashed the roasted rabbit in his hand, pulled Xiao Tianzhen over, and struck Xiao Tianzhen on the back of the head and neck with a palm knife. Xiao Tianzhen rolled his eyes on the spot and fainted.
In an instant, Yuan Gang held Xiao Tianzhen hostage in his hand and put the blade across Xiao Tianzhen's neck. Yuan Gang remained calm and composed, causing the surrounding monks to throw their weapons at him.
"Let go of the young master immediately!" a monk shouted, "If you dare to hurt a hair of the young master, you will die without a burial place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of monks were shocked again. They saw a group of masked monks quickly jumping out of the mountains and forests in the distance and confronting them.
Yuan Gang shouted coldly: "Get out of the way!"
He had a hostage in his hand, and he reacted very quickly to prevent possible surprise attacks from all around. This made the Wandong Tianfu monks dare not act rashly. They had no right to decide Xiao Tianzhen's life or death. In the end, Xiao Tianzhen's neck was forced to bleed by the blade of a knife.
When the situation came, I had to make way.
Upon meeting a group of masked monks, Yuan Gang quickly threw the unconscious Xiao Tianzhen to someone, and then the group of robbers quickly retreated deep into the forest.
The monks from Wandong Tianfu hurriedly chased after them. While chasing, Golden Wings took off in an emergency to report to Jinzhou...
The golden wings flying over mountains and rivers arrived over the capital city of Jinzhou and plunged directly into the governor's mansion.
After a while, there was a commotion in the governor's mansion. A group of monks headed by Li Wuhua, the elder of Wandong Tianfu, rushed out of the governor's mansion. Regardless of the shocking world, they quickly rose and landed above the houses in the city and left the city quickly.
Not long after these people left, a letter was delivered to the governor's house.
The letter was quickly forwarded to Hai Ruyue, who still looked beautiful.
Hai Ruyue, whose face was full of anxiety, was mobilizing various people to block the main roads in various places to cooperate in saving her son. She was not in the mood to read any letters. She waved to the housekeeper Zhu Shun and said, "Put it aside for now!"
She was really angry. Yuan Gang actually used her mind to hijack her son. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to get close to her son, let alone hijack him. But now it was easily broken through from the inside.
Zhu Shunyi looked anxious and showed the writing on the envelope, "Madam, let's take a look."
Hai Ruyue looked closely and saw two lines of handwriting written on the envelope: Young Master Wuyou, the eldest princess personally signs it!
The next moment, Hai Ruyue grabbed the letter in her hand, quickly took out the letter inside and spread it out.
There were only a few lines in the letter: I fell in love with the young master as soon as I saw him, and I miss you so much. I invite you to a small gathering, and I will send you back safely another day. Don't stir up troops, don't make any noise, don't hurt the harmony!
The last name left behind is: Disciple of the Ghost Doctor, Mr. Ming worships him!
Seeing this name, Hai Ruyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her face turned pale for a moment, and she staggered back a few steps. She was instantly reminded of the nursing prescription left by Mr. Ming.
When she first saw the nursing prescription, she was really frightened. She still remembered the scene when the ice arrived in the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
These years have passed, and although the matter has been hanging in my heart, it has been fine after all, and I hope it can continue to be fine. Who wants to be afraid of what will happen, and the sword hanging above the head finally fell.
After regaining her composure, Hai Ruyue gritted her teeth with hatred and spat out the words, "Niu Youdao! Bastard, despicable, villain..."
Until now, if she still didn't know who was behind the so-called ghost doctor disciple, he would be pretty much a fool unless he was a fool. She had suspected Niu Youdao back then, but Niu Youdao refused to admit it, and she had no evidence, and she didn't
I dared to speak out, so I kept it unclear.
Now, Niu Youdao's henchman Yuan Gang personally kidnapped her son, and then a letter from the ghost doctor's disciple arrived. If Niu Youdao hadn't done it, he would have seen a ghost.
Zhu Shun looked solemn and said: "Madam, why did Niu Youdao kidnap the young master?"
It was determined that Niu Youdao did it. As a housekeeper, he was not surprised at all. Yuan Gang hijacked Xiao Tianzhen, but he did not know how big a deal was involved behind it. Only Hai Ruyue knew about Chiyang Zhuguo's treatment.
.
Hai Ruyue didn't answer why, but followed the warning in the letter and suppressed the commotion she wanted to stir up...
Deep in the vast mountains and forests, heroes flew by. Yuan Gang and others fled in the mountains and forests, with the Wandong Tianfu monks chasing after them.
Although Xiao Tianzhen fell into the hands of the opponent and made Wandong Tianfu dare not act recklessly, it did not mean that he would let the opponent escape easily.
In the mountains and forests ahead, mist gradually shrouded and lingered.
As they approached, Yuan Gang and others who were escaping quickly took out a small green leaf and put it into their mouths. Even Xiao Tianzhen, who was in a coma, also stuffed a piece into his mouth.
This leaf was the product of the secluded place where Meng Shanming and others lived. The villagers named it "Qingxin", and the destination of Yuan Gang and others was also the hidden village hidden in the vast mountains.
From how to kidnap Xiao Tianzhen to how to escape, everything was planned.
A group of people rushed into the dense mountains with such urgency.
"Poisonous miasma!" Someone among the chasing monks shouted urgently. The monks from Wandong Tianfu fell to the ground one after another and stopped outside the lingering mist. They did not dare to go any further and watched helplessly as Yuan Gang waited for the calamity.
