Wang Dalu was invited by Grand Duke Wu Zong and left in the middle of the banquet. He didn't know that Ran Guang used the strength of wine to demonstrate the Wuyunbu movement to everyone, and was forced to stay by Wu Yue, the youngest daughter of Grand Duke Wu Zong, who wanted to become his disciple.
Early the next morning, Wang Dalu and Xia Feng came to the place where Grand Duke Wu Zong and his family had breakfast.
The Grand Duke's family were all there, and Ran Guang was also there. His face was red with wine and he saw that he had been drunk a lot last night.
Wu Yue, the youngest daughter of Grand Duke Wu Zong, didn't care about the arrival of Wang Dalu and Xia Feng. Instead, she held the dark green wine gourd that was one-third the size of Wu Yue next to Ran Guang and kept adding wine to Ran Guang, smiling beautifully.
, he kept saying.
"Master, please bring some more wine. Master, please try this sour seed soup. My apprentice specially asked the chef to make it for you this morning. It is perfect for relieving hangover."
Wang Dalu found it very funny when he heard it. Wu Yue, the little girl, kept pouring wine for Ran Guang and persuaded Ran Guang to try the sour soup to relieve hangover.
Grand Duke Wu Zong and his wife saw it and smiled without saying a word.
Maybe the couple can do nothing about this little girl they have doted on since childhood, or maybe they hope that their baby daughter can learn the amazing movement skills from Ran Guang, or that through Ran Guang they can strengthen their relationship with Wang Dalu
relationship.
Ran Guang had a look of reluctance on his face. Not only was he drunk yesterday, but he also had this burden beside him. The master and the master were so noisy that he didn't have a good rest all night.
The most irritating thing is that she is a young girl who has no choice but to do anything.
Ran Guang gave Wang Dalu a look, as if he wanted Wang Dalu to help him find a way to get rid of this trouble around him.
Wang Dalu pretended not to see it and ignored it. Instead, he chatted with Grand Duke Wu Zong.
The day for Wang Dalu's ascension to the throne was the second day of February next year. Seeing that it was approaching, Grand Duke Wu Zong did not try to persuade Wang Dalu to stay.
The three of them planned to go back today, but unexpectedly Grand Duke Wu Zong suddenly said to Ran Guang and Wang Dalu.
"I have a private request. I would like to invite some of you to go to Nanshan City with your daughter. When the prince ascends the throne, I will personally go and take her back."
Ran Guang was extremely reluctant to hear this, but he couldn't refuse in front of Wu Zong. In the end, he could only look at Wang Dalu and nod, while Wu Yue happily grabbed his sleeve and called him master.
Before leaving, Wu Zongdalu sent another hundred golden warriors to accompany him all the way, allowing Wang Dalu and others to travel unhindered in Wu Zongdagong's territory.
"stop!"
Following Lu Guang's call to stop, Wang Dalu's group of more than 20 people finally arrived at Wuxia Pass, the border fortress between the Lu Yanghou Dynasty and the Li Ziguang Hou Dynasty.
Wang Dalu, Ran Guang, Wu Yue, and Xia Feng first arrived at Lu Yanghou's city to meet up with Lu Guang, and then galloped all the way to Wuxia Pass.
"Hurry up and enter the city. We have been walking for more than a month and have been stuck in the wild. We all have a strange smell."
Wu Yue smelled the smell of his sleeves and urged Lu Guang.
Over the past two months, the little girl has suffered a lot along the way. She has always been pampered since she was a child and has never experienced the hardship of traveling such a long distance.
Fortunately, the little girl gritted her teeth and persisted.
The sin of more than two months was not in vain. At least with her sincere begging, Ran Guang made an exception and accepted her as his disciple.
At this point, she is regarded as Wang Dalu's junior sister.
After Wu Yue finished speaking, he showed his white and flawless teeth to Wang Dalu again.
"Senior brother, this time we have to stay in Wuxia Pass for a few more days to replenish our physical strength, okay?"
Wang Dalu had nothing to do with this newly recognized junior sister, so he nodded and said to everyone.
"We have been traveling non-stop during this period, and we only rested one night in the cities and towns we passed before leaving the next day. This time we arrived at Wuxia Pass, which is very close to Nanshan City. I think we will stay here for two days before leaving."
Everyone else nodded and said nothing, but Wu Yue cheered happily.
At this moment, the city guard of Wuxia Pass arrived with a group of petty officials to greet Lu Guang, Wang Dalu and others.
Wang Dalu and the others were arranged in an elegant courtyard. After freshening up, they had a sumptuous dinner.
During the dinner, Wu Yue tried it and said that he had never felt that these delicacies were as delicious as today, regardless of his image, which made the others laugh.
Ever since Wang Dalu killed the three-thousand-year-old poisonous mang from the Hidden Valley eight years ago, the Wuxia Pass has ceased to live up to its name.
Climbing high every day and looking in the direction of Li Ziguanghou, it is hard to see the hazy glow that has appeared for nearly a hundred years.
However, what surprised Wang Dalu this time when he came to Wuxia Pass was that the number of defenders at Wuxia Pass increased more than seven or eight times compared to eight years ago, and they were extremely alert.
Wang Dalu found out after asking Lu Guang that this was to prevent soldiers from fleeing to the border to cause trouble after Li Ziguang's dynasty went to war with Nanshan City.
Tomorrow a few people will enter Jingbian City within the territory of Li Ziguang's dynasty. I don't know how they will treat themselves, the lord of Nanshan.
Li Ziguang is in Jingbian City on the border of Marquis Li Ziguang, in the Viscount's Mansion.
Although it was midnight, the lights in the mansion were brightly lit, and the patrolling soldiers were patrolling in small groups.
There are five men sitting in the lobby of the Viscount Mansion at the moment.
Sitting in the middle is Viscount Wei Zhiming, the lord of Jingbian City.
Wei Zhiming has a cultivation level of five feet. Ever since Li Guang defeated Lu Yanghou, he has been in charge of Jingbian City for more than fifty years.
He kept his word in Jingbian City, and even though there were three generals sitting below who had Ningxu realms of one, two, and three feet, they obeyed his orders.
Wei Zhiming glanced at his general Dingyuan Hua Guozhang, who had thick eyebrows and tiger eyes.
The once strong-willed tiger general, but because Wang Dalu killed his only beloved son Hua Zizhang, he felt a bit like a hero in his twilight years and became very old.
Wei Zhiming looked at the other two generals guarding the distance, Minghua, and the general Weiyuan, Gongzi Ming, before saying.
"I received a report of the secret spy at Wuxia Pass today. Wang Dalu of Nanshan City and Lu Guang, the son of Marquis of Luyang, will pass through our Jingbian City tomorrow and go to Nanshan City. At that time, everyone must order their subordinates to be careful and not to interfere with them.
It’s difficult for him to leave safely, will you remember?”
General Shuyuan Minghua and General Weiyuan Gongzi Ming both responded at the same time. Only General Dingyuan Hua Guozhang sat there without saying a word.
Wei Zhiming looked at Hua Guozhang and said in a more serious tone.
"General Dingyuan, have you ever heard my order?"
Hua Guozhang's red face jumped, and he stood up and said to Wei Zhiming.
"promise!"
Wei Zhiming nodded.
"I know that you are suffering from the loss of your son, but you must know that there is still peace with Nanshan City for the time being, and you cannot let your selfish interests interfere with the imperial court's plans."
Hua Guozhang heard this and asked in reply.
"Does the imperial court and Marquis Li just want to watch my poor son die tragically in the hands of that thief Wang Dalu and not care about it?"
"presumptuous!"
A deep shout shocked the attention of several people in the hall.
Wei Zhiming stood up and said to the old man sitting next to him.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This Hua Guozhang was so angry at the loss of his son that he offended Li Hou Tianwei in such a stupid way. I also ask Your Majesty to remember his merits in guarding the border over the past decades and forgive him for his sins."
At this time, Hua Guozhang also came out of his grief and anger and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
If things were going well in normal times, Viscount Wei Zhiming would not take his complaints to heart because of their decades of friendship, but now this newly arrived envoy represents Marquis Li and cannot be easily offended.
When the envoy saw Hua Guozhang kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to admit his mistake, while the city lord, Viscount Wei Zhiming, was also begging for mercy, he said.
"General Hua, please get up. I will spare you this time because of your grief over the loss of your son. I hope you will fulfill your duties in the future and serve Li Hou wholeheartedly and serve the court."
Hua Guozhang clasped his fists at the envoy and thanked Wei Zhiming, then sat back down again.
The envoy said to the people present again.
"I came here because I know that your Jingbian City once had some disputes with Wang Dalu, and I'm afraid that some of you will send troops to intercept and kill Wang Dalu's people without authorization, which will lead to the imperial court and Nanshan City to go to war in advance, ruining Li Hou's plan."
General Minghua of Shuyuan asked the envoy.
"Then I wonder if the envoy has brought other orders from the court or some information about Nanshan City?"
The envoy saw that the four generals in Jingbian City were all watching and listening attentively.
"I know what you are thinking. What I want to tell you here is that it is true! As rumored, six unidentified and advanced monks have appeared in Nanshan City. Now Nanshan City includes the traitor Wang Gang, Song Zhi and that Wang
There are nine great monks in mainland China named Master Li."
At this time, the four of them, including Wei Zhiming, all looked surprised and frightened.
Hua Guozhang's old face was frosty, sad and angry, and he knew that revenge for his beloved son was impossible.
The ambassador looked around at the expressions on several people's faces and said with a smile.
"My lords, don't be disappointed. Nanshan City is indeed far stronger than our dynasty now, but Li Hou has also thought of a way to deal with it. I believe that within a few months, the Hongxing dynasty and the courts belonging to the Hongxing dynasty's camp will come to me one after another.
The great monks were stationed in the DPRK.”
"So good."
Wei Zhi said clearly.
"Please go back and tell Marquis Li that we, Jingbian City, will not undermine the imperial plan. If the imperial court needs it, I can be the vanguard and eliminate the cancer and scourge of Nanshan City for Marquis Li."
It was already midnight when Hua Guozhang returned to General Dingyuan's Mansion.
Hua Guozhang's face was gloomy along the way, and the three confidants around him all knew that his master was in a bad mood, so they were all cautious.
They all knew that Wang Dalu, who had killed Mr. Hua Zizhang, would enter Jingbian City tomorrow, and their lords went to the Viscount Mansion to discuss this matter.
It seems the result is unsatisfactory.
Hua Guozhang sat alone in the lobby with a deep voice, while the three of them stood silently in front of the door.
Not long after, a lady in her late fifties came from a distance, followed by four middle-aged maidservants.
When they walked to the door, the three generals saluted Madam in unison.
The lady asked if the master was in the hall, and the eldest of the three men answered.
As soon as the lady entered the hall, she heard Hua Guozhang's cold voice coming from inside.
"You all go down first."
After the several generals and the maids left, they listened to the lady's words.
"Sir, what does the Viscount say? Can you help my poor child get justice?"
Hua Guozhang said angrily.
"You woman, you are always listening to people talking nonsense behind your back. Master Wei came to me because there are important matters coming from the imperial court to discuss."
The lady said.
"Don't lie to me. I already know that the murderer who killed Zhang Er will appear in this city in the next few days. My son's revenge will be avenged soon."
The noble lady talked for a long time, but when she saw that her husband remained silent, she knew that something big might have happened and said in surprise.
"Hua Guozhang, do you, an old man like you, want to watch the murderer of your son walk around the streets without doing anything? You..."
That night, in General Dingyuan's mansion, dogs barked all night long.
On the second day, Hua Guozhang ordered his wife to be taken to the nearby Jing'an Temple to pray for blessings and stay there for a few days.
