For the past few days, Geng Yan, Gai Yan and others have been searching for Liu Xiu day and night, but there are no clues at all. Now that they see Liu Xiu sitting here perfectly, how can everyone not be excited.
Liu Xiu stood up, walked around the desk, walked forward, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard these days, right?"
"Your Majesty!" Everyone suppressed their excitement and saluted with their hands in hand.
Liu Xiu nodded to everyone and said, "Where is Zhang'er now?"
He is not worried about Liu Zhang's safety now. Since Jin Dan said he would let Liu Zhang go, he must let him go. Jin Dan has to take his own reputation into consideration, and he will not lie about this matter.
In fact, it was just as Liu Xiu expected. Geng Yan sniffed and said sternly: "I originally planned to send King Taiyuan back to Chang'an, but King Taiyuan refused and insisted on staying in Zhongling Mountain with me.
Let’s search for His Majesty together. I have informed King Taiyuan of His Majesty’s news. I think King Taiyuan will be here soon.”
"Yes!" Liu Xiu nodded and said meaningfully: "Zhang'er is young and energetic. He always wants to go to the battlefield and make contributions. This incident should be a lesson to him!"
Don't think that just because you are good at martial arts, you think you can dominate the world. You must know that there are people outside the world, and there are many people in this world who are better than you.
Luo You's eyes were red and she sobbed: "We found the top of the mountain where Your Majesty fought. There were only blood stains on it, but we couldn't find Your Majesty..." As she spoke, she couldn't help crying.
During the days of searching for Liu Xiu, no matter how hard and tiring she was, she never cried. Now that she saw that Liu Xiu was safe and sound, Luo You could no longer control her emotions.
Liu Xiu walked up to Luo You and saw that her face was full of tears. He took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, stuffed it into her hand, and said with a smile: "I'm fine now!"
After a pause, he said: "At that time, I was seriously injured and was knocked off the cliff by Jin Dan. Fortunately, Chi Xiao was sharp enough and penetrated the cliff wall. I was finally not thrown to pieces."
He spoke in an understatement, but everyone was sweating coldly. Xuying said in surprise: "The golden elixir is so powerful that it can knock His Majesty off the cliff."
"Well! His sword is very fast." Liu Xiu said: "Later, I climbed down from the cliff and had no strength. I thought I would die. Fortunately, Linglu saved me!" As he spoke, he
He pointed at Xin Linglu.
Xin Lingling immediately stood up, walked to Liu Xiu, and pulled his cuffs with some restraint. Liu Xiu smiled at her, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous.
Geng Yan, Gai Yan, Yao Qi, Xu Ying and others heard this and without saying a word, they all raised their hands, bowed deeply to Xin Lingling, and said seriously: "Miss Xin saved your majesty, she saved the Han Dynasty, please accept it."
I’ll wait a moment!”
Seeing these armored generals saluting her, Xin Linglu looked even more nervous and embarrassed. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's just a little effort for me to save Brother Liu..."
"..." Brother Liu?! Geng Yan, Gai Yan, and Yao Qi looked at each other, with a few black lines sliding down their foreheads. Luo You looked at Xin Lingling unhappily and scolded in a deep voice: "How dare you!
What crime do you deserve for calling Your Majesty like this?!"
Xin Linglu was startled by her. Liu Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Linglu has lived in the mountains since she was a child. She is isolated from the world and has red tape. She doesn't know much. There is no need to scold Linglu for this."
As soon as everyone heard this, they knew in their hearts that Xin Linglu was of great importance in His Majesty's mind. Luo You lowered his head and responded with some grievance: "My maid understands."
Liu Xiuxiao asked: "Has everyone eaten?"
"Uh..." Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"It seems that they haven't eaten yet. It just so happens that we can eat together!" Liu Xiu called everyone to sit down. When everyone sat down, they noticed that there were two tigers and one leopard lying inside the tent.
Luo You was the first to react, raising his hand to draw his sword. Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Don't be afraid! They are raised from zero exposure, are humane, and will not hurt anyone."
Raise tigers or leopards? Everyone looked at Xin Linglu with more inquiring eyes. Yao Qi bowed and asked, "Is Miss Xin proficient in controlling beasts?"
Xin Lingling said with some embarrassment: "I know a little bit about it, but it's not worth mentioning."
Yao Qi cupped his hands and said, "I admire you! I admire you!"
Luo You snorted softly from the side, with a look of disapproval on his face.
In her opinion, this Xin Linglu was just lucky and happened to save His Majesty. Otherwise, how could such a wild woman who had lived in the barren mountains and wild mountains for many years win His Majesty's eyes!
Liu Xiu doted on Luo You very much. Even though she was a little rude now, he didn't say anything more to her. He asked: "Have you found out the whereabouts of the golden elixir?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Geng Yan said: "Your Majesty, I think that Jin Dan may have returned to Longdi."
Xuying asked curiously: "Your Majesty said that Jin Dan's sword is very fast. I wonder how fast his sword... can be?"
Liu Xiu said: "He can transform twelve swords at the same time."
Xuying was secretly frightened and asked subconsciously: "Are they all afterimages?"
Liu Xiu said: "Eleven swords are afterimages, and one sword is real. The real sword is hidden among the afterimages, making it difficult to detect."
At that time, both of his shoulders were pierced, and this was what he suffered.
Xu Ying frowned and looked at Xu Ting and Xu Fei, who both had expressions of disbelief on their faces and shook their heads slightly.
Transforming into twelve swords? How is this possible? No matter how fast a person draws his sword, he can't do it so fast that he leaves the afterimage of eleven swords, unless the opponent is a Daluo god.
As for the generals Geng Yan, Gai Yan, and Yao Qi, Monk Zhang Er was even more confused after hearing this. What does the twelve phantom swords mean? They had no idea about it in their minds.
Xin Linglu, who was sitting neatly next to Liu Xiu, suddenly said: "It is impossible for a person to shoot twelve swords in a row."
Luo You didn't like her at first, so he was worried that he had no chance to attack, so she took the initiative to send her to her door! Luo You snorted angrily and asked loudly: "Are you suspecting His Majesty of lying?"
Xin Linglu looked innocent after being scolded by her. Geng Yan, Gai Yan, and Yao Qi also felt that Luo You was making a fuss, and on such an occasion, she, a little palace maid who was not even a female official, suddenly interrupted,
There is a suspicion of overstepping the mark.
Liu Xiu cleared her throat and looked at Luo You. Although she didn't scold you, her eyes showed displeasure.
Luo You pouted, lowered his head and stopped talking. Liu Xiu said to Xin Linglu: "Linglu, you said it is impossible for a person to shoot twelve swords in one moment, so how did the golden elixir do it?"
Xin Linglu said: "It must be an illusion!"
"Illusion?" Liu Xiu asked, "Magic?"
Xin Linglu said: "Agarwood, cinnabar, sandalwood, and datura flowers can be used to prepare a fascinating fragrance. This kind of fragrance is colorless and odorless, but it can cause hallucinations."
Everyone present heard this and their eyes widened with confusion on their faces.
Xin Linglu looked at Liu Xiu and said: "Brother Liu is invulnerable to all evil. The influence of the incense should be very small. Even if he is affected by the incense at the beginning, it will be resolved soon."
Liu Xiu fell into deep thought and recalled the situation at that time. It was really like this. The first blow of Jin Dan was to transform into eight swords, but he could not dodge. The second blow was to transform into ten swords, but he still could not dodge.
, his third blow was to transform into twelve swords, but at this moment, all the afterimages disappeared, and he could see the real sword clearly.
It turns out that these illusions are not the afterimages left by Jin Dan's sword draw too fast, but the illusion technique used by Jin Dan.
"This..." Yao Qi couldn't wait to ask: "Miss Xin..."
"General, just call me Ling Lu."
"Oh, Miss Linglu, is there any way to solve this confusing fragrance?"
"It's not difficult, you just need to stay awake." "How can I stay awake?" "Just take silvergrass (mint) in your mouth." "Just... is it that simple?"
Xin Linglu smiled and said: "Tao follows nature, one thing comes down to another!"
Yao Qi nodded repeatedly and kept everything Xin Linglu said firmly in his mind.
He is a guard, a minister who guards the palace and protects the emperor. If one day the golden elixir sneaks into the palace and does harm to the emperor, he is the last line of defense to protect the emperor. If he cannot break the illusion of the golden elixir, wouldn't your majesty be in danger?
?
Xin Lingling said: "Those who often use illusions must have evil intentions!"
Yao Qi said harshly: "This golden elixir has a great reputation, but he is not a kind person either."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Gai Yan smiled and said: "Jin Dan's biggest reliance is probably his illusion. Fortunately, Miss Linglu has a way to break it. Otherwise, when we meet Jin Dan in the future, we might actually fall into his trap!"
Geng Yan said seriously: "Before we get rid of the golden elixir, I think we should always have silver elixir grass with us."
Mint leaves are not a rare thing. They can be found everywhere. It is not difficult to pick a few leaves and take them with you.
Liu Xiu Shen agreed and said: "Bo Zhao reminded me that I should always keep some on my body." Although Liu Xiu is invulnerable to all poisons and evil spirits, poisons and evil things still need to be rejected after they enter the body.
process and time.
After everyone finished eating, Liu Zhang finally rushed over. Although Liu Zhang was Liu Xiu's nephew, he was not much younger than Liu Xiu. He was now in his twenties and was a tall and sturdy young man.
Liu Zhang pays great attention to his appearance on weekdays. He won't wear his clothes if they are stained with dust. He always keeps them clean and tidy.
But now Liu Zhang has a stubble on his face, his eye sockets and cheeks are sunken, and his clothes are so dirty that you can hardly see their original color, and there are many holes in them.
He rushed in directly without warning. When he saw Liu Xiu, Liu Zhang couldn't control his tears. Like a pearl with a broken thread, he rushed forward, knelt down with a thud, and cried loudly: "Uncle...
…”
If it weren't for him, his uncle would not have been led to Zhongling Mountain by the golden elixir, nor would he have disappeared in Zhongling Mountain. These days, Liu Zhang spent his time in this constant self-blame.
He didn't rest during the day or sleep at night, and frantically searched for Liu Xiu all over the mountains and plains.
Now that he finally saw his uncle, Liu Zhang almost collapsed emotionally. While crying, he knelt forward, hugged Liu Xiu's legs, and burst into tears. Seeing his nephew's miserable appearance, Liu Xiu felt uncomfortable.
, pulled Liu Zhang up from the ground, looked at him from top to bottom, and saw that he was just thin and embarrassed, with no injuries on his body, so he felt relieved. He patted Liu Zhang on the back and said with a smile: "Zhang
Don't cry, my uncle, isn't this a good thing?"
When Liu Zhang heard this, he cried even louder and could hardly stand still.
Liu Xiu comforted him for a long time. When Liu Zhang's cries gradually subsided, he looked at Geng Yan, Gai Yan, Yao Qi and others, and said helplessly: "My nephew, like my elder brother,
He is impatient and has a bad temper. He said he came to Chang'an and came here without saying hello. But Zhang'er, like his elder brother, is upright and responsible. He knows that the country is in trouble and does not seek comfort and wealth. He only wants to go into battle to kill the enemy and serve.
Country! He is a true man who is upright and upright!"
Liu Zhang is the king of Taiyuan. If the king wants to travel to other places, he needs to report to the emperor.
This time Liu Zhang left Luoyang privately for Chang'an and caused such a big incident on the way. He has an unshirkable responsibility. What Liu Xiu said was actually to excuse Liu Zhang.
