"Be careful." Yuan Anning shouted loudly.
Nanfeng turned around after hearing the sound, "Don't rush away, wait for it to turn into a dragon, promise benefits, and try to take it as a mount."
"Okay." Yuan Anning responded.
As he spoke, the south wind had already gone far away, and he stopped talking to Yuan Anning. He picked up his energy and sped towards the west.
It is Shenshi at this time, and it will be dusk in another hour. Marriage is also called evening ceremony, and it is all held at dusk. This place is located in the west of the central part of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an. It is definitely impossible to get there within an hour. We can only do our best, the sooner the better.
The cluster of lotus leaves was still in his hand, and the lotus and red lotus roots had been devoured by water hyenas, but the remaining ones were not dregs and had the effect of replenishing qi, but the medicinal power was not as strong as that of lotus and lotus roots.
The bite is sour and astringent, and it is really hard to swallow, but you have to swallow it. Going to Chang'an is like throwing yourself into a trap. Only by being promoted to Taixuan can the disadvantage be reversed. At the moment, the only thing that can replenish spiritual energy is these sour bites. Lotus leaves.
Since I didn't digest it immediately, I didn't know how much spiritual energy the lotus leaves contained. As a precaution, I could only eat them all, but this thing was really unpalatable, not only sour and bitter.
That's all that can be done at the moment. Whether these lotus leaves can make up for the 10% spiritual energy that Jin Shen Taixuan lacks can only depend on luck.
In the past, Ba Ye acted as a leg supporter, so he seldom used to fly across the sky. This time, in order to be fast, he pushed his spiritual energy to the extreme. He did not wait for five miles to exhaust his energy, and landed on the ground after flying three miles to use his strength. It was like a strong wind passing by, with lightning speed and speed. Move forward.
While flying by at high speed, Nanfeng calmed down and thought quietly. Before this, he had been struggling with how to get along with Zhuge Chanjuan and Yuan Anning. He did not think about the intoxication of Li Chaozong and Zhuge Chanjuan in detail, so he happened to be on his way. During this period of time, we should think about it carefully so as not to have to deal with it hastily in the field.
The first thing that can be determined is that Li Chaozong did not know that he had returned to China, because he had only been back for two days, and the news that Li Chaozong married Zhuge Chanjuan had spread long before that.
Li Chaozong spread the word about the fainting incident early, naturally so that he could hear the news and rush over to stop it. If he went, there would naturally be a trap and ambush waiting for him.
If he doesn't go, Li Chaozong's work will not be in vain. If he doesn't go, it means that he doesn't have Zhuge Chanjuan in his heart. By then, Li Chaozong will have reasons and rhetoric to sow discord.
Zhuge Chanjuan may not want him to appear there in danger, but if he doesn't go, Zhuge Chanjuan will definitely be very disappointed. Women's thoughts are so strange.
Furthermore, why was Zhuge Chanjuan willing to marry Li Chaozong? That day, Zhuge Chanjuan went to Li Chaozong's other courtyard to rescue him. Although Zhuge Chanjuan left in a hurry because the fat man invited Yuan Anning to come over, she did not completely turn against him and agree to it. Marrying Li Chaozong makes no sense either emotionally or rationally.
Since Zhuge Chanjuan did not marry Li Chaozong willingly, how did Li Chaozong get her to agree to this stupid thing
It would definitely not be forced, because there were too many people going to congratulate, and it was impossible for Li Chaozong to tie Zhuge Chanjuan to worship. However, other than force, Zhuge Chanjuan had no reason to marry Li Chaozong.
Thinking of this, it becomes a deadlock. Why Zhuge Chanjuan is willing to marry Li Chaozong, we have to rush to the place to find out.
This question has reached a dead end. There is another way to think about it, and that is whether Zhuge Chanjuan was harmed by Li Chaozong.
On that day, Liu Ruyan from the Lihuo Palace revealed a piece of news to him, that is, Zhuge Chanjuan's physique was different from ordinary people. As for how she was different from ordinary people, Liu Ruyan did not say clearly, but according to his guess, it should be because of her attraction to men. Benefits.
Li Chaozong raised so many beautiful women, but he never got involved, which shows that this person is not lustful. The reason why he pursues Zhuge Chanjuan is most likely because he knows that Zhuge Chanjuan's special physique is beneficial to him. Once Zhuge Chanjuan falls into his hands, , this old thing will naturally not let her go.
But when I thought about it again, it was wrong. Zhuge Chanjuan had been traveling with Li Chaozong when Wang Zhong was alive. Later, Wang Zhong died. Li Chaozong had every opportunity to capture Zhuge Chanjuan, but he did not do so.
If you think about it carefully, the reason why Li Chaozong didn't force him was not because he was a gentleman, but because forcefulness would probably be useless. If force is useful, he will force it directly, and even kill people and silence them afterwards.
Since force is useless, Zhuge Chanjuan should be safe at this time.
Thinking of this, Nanfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Due to frequent ups and downs and intense activity, the lotus leaf that had been barely swallowed before had begun to emit spiritual energy. I concentrated on sensing it and found that the lotus leaf emitted spiritual energy very quickly and with great momentum. I just didn't know how long its effect would last. If you can continue like this for three hours, you can successfully advance to Taixuan.
The frequent landings made me faster, but the shoes couldn't bear it. After hundreds of miles, the soles were worn out. Fortunately, there was a town nearby, so I went there to beg for a few pairs of shoes. To be precise, I robbed them and wore one pair. There are two pairs left to spare.
Before sunset, Nanfeng arrived at Helin Town. He had been here before and knew how far it was from Chang'an. If nothing else happened, he could get there before the second watch.
Facts have proved that Nanfeng's estimate was very accurate. Before the second watch, he saw the tall city wall of Chang'an and flew towards it. He climbed over the wall and went to Yuan Anning's former residence to get the three copper mines first. Dongcheng rushed.
When we reached the main road that ran through the north and south, the south wind stopped, and after pondering, it changed its course to the south.
He had invited Butcher Wang from Xicheng to kill pigs on New Year's Eve. Butcher Wang had an old man who was blind. The blind man's eyes were shriveled and shrunken. To avoid scaring others, the old blind man put on a blindfold. All he wanted was the blindfold.
Nanfeng was worried on the way to Butcher Wang's house. He asked Butcher Wang to kill the pig three years ago. The blind man was quite old, so he must not die.
Fortunately, the blind man is still alive.
So his blindfold was taken off. The old blind man didn't know why, thinking that his grandson was playing tricks on him, so he was groping around with his walking stick. This knocking reminded Nan Feng, so his walking stick also disappeared. .
Not far away, I met several beggars, holding broken bowls with fine food in them. A closer look revealed that they were all the same.
Nan Feng had been a beggar before and knew under what circumstances beggars could ask for this kind of food. He stepped forward and asked, and sure enough, it was a banquet in a large house on the west side of the palace.
That was Li Chaozong's other courtyard. Worried about an ambush, Nanfeng did not go there, but went north to a place he was familiar with. There was a grain sacrifice tower in the city, which was very tall. From there You can see Li Chaozong's other courtyard.
When they reached the top of the tower, Nanfeng looked up and saw that the house was decorated with lights and colorful and crowded with people, as if they were having a wedding banquet.
At this time, the wedding banquet was all eaten in the yard. There were people everywhere in the front and back yards. There were at least a hundred tables set up. Because there were so many guests, there were even tables set up on the street outside the door. Unfortunately, the angle was not very right. There is a red chandelier hanging above the courtyard, and only a few guests sitting facing north can be seen on the self-sacrificial tower.
The wedding banquet is always held after the church visit. By this time, the bride should have been sent to the bridal chamber. According to the rules, the groom and the groom have to stay outside with the guests until after the second watch before entering the bridal chamber.
At this time, there was still half a stick of incense before the second watch. Nanfeng took the opportunity to change a pair of shoes and put on the eye mask to try. At this time, he mostly used linen. The linen was very loose and had big gaps. Put on the eye mask. Also able to see clearly.
After testing, Nanfeng pushed the blindfold up to his forehead and took out a few sky-shaking copper thunders, but after careful calculation, he found that even with the help of spiritual energy, he could not throw them that far.
In desperation, I could only put away the bronze thunder and continue to wait and see.
Since opening his yin and yang eyes, he has been able to observe the other person's complexion without using spiritual energy. However, the red light hanging above the courtyard makes it impossible for him to observe the complexion smoothly. As long as he frowns and squints, his eyes will be red.
Seeing that the second watch was approaching, Nanfeng could only get off the sacrificial tower and walk to the other courtyard.
Li Chaozong and Li Shangqin were brothers. When Li Chaozong took a concubine, the government sent officers and soldiers to guard the perimeter, with one sentry every three steps and one post every five steps. It was impossible to observe the situation in the courtyard from elsewhere without being noticed. , if you want to know the situation inside, you can only go through the gate.
This was naturally done intentionally by Li Chaozong, and the purpose was simply to prevent him or his helpers from seeing what was going on in the yard.
At this time, there were a large number of beggars gathered around the wedding banquet to please them. The south wind was blowing from west to south, and the beggars were mixed in and looking north.
There were mostly people in martial arts uniforms in the courtyard. Two tables were opened under the entrance hall in the front yard and the back yard. Li Chaozong, who was wearing a wedding dress and a red robe, was at a table on the right. What Nanfeng never expected was that he was from Taiqing. Tian Mingzi, the leader of the sect, was also at the banquet, wearing a double dragon robe. He was smiling and talking in a low voice to an old monk next to him. In addition to these three people, there were several officials who looked like others at the banquet. The old man and several warriors.
There is another table on the left side of this table, where nine people from the martial arts world are sitting. These warriors are all dressed in different clothes. There are men and women, old and young. Among them, there are actually two boys in their teens.
There was no red light hanging above the hall door, so Nanfeng looked closely at the atmosphere of everyone, and frowned at the sight. What made him frown was not the table where Li Chaozong was sitting, but the table next to him, the nine Three of the warriors were Taixuan cultivators, and the remaining six were all Purple Qi Dongyuan. However, these people's complexions were not pure, their spiritual energy was mixed with black energy, and there were alien souls appearing above their heads. They were all aliens.
It would have been okay if there were one or two aliens mixed into the wedding banquet, but now there were nine of them at the same time. It was impossible for Li Chaozong not to know about it. What's more, these aliens might have been invited by him himself.
In addition, Tianmingzi was the leader of Taiqing, and the Western Wei Dynasty was not within his sphere of influence. Yet he also appeared in such public places. This shows that the relationship between Taiqingzong and Li Chaozong has changed from secret collusion to friendship. Than being an adulterer.
Furthermore, the nine aliens were not the same kind. It was impossible for Li Chaozong himself to know so many aliens. The reason why he was able to recruit these aliens was that he most likely belonged to the same camp as these aliens.
The two mysterious forces that have been hidden behind the scenes finally revealed their clues. To be precise, one of them began to reveal their clues.
Just as Nanfeng was frowning and thinking, the watchman's call came from the distance.
Nanfeng heard the sound and took out the copper thunder again. Then he thought, no, if he throws the copper thunder this time, the guests will disperse in a rush, and it will be easier for Li Chaozong and others to take advantage of the chaos. They have to keep these guests and let them go. Li Chaozong and others had some scruples.
As soon as the second watch arrived, Li Chaozong immediately stood up straight, confessed his sins to all the guests, and prepared to leave.
Nanfeng did not see Zhuge Chanjuan after he arrived, but since Li Chaozong invited guests and friends with great fanfare, he would not sing about the empty city strategy like Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Chanjuan must be here.
Looking inside carefully, he found that the lotus leaf in his belly was still emitting spiritual energy, but it was still far from being promoted to Taixuan.
At this time, Li Chaozong had already turned around and walked towards the backyard. He could not wait any longer. Even though he knew that the other party was ambushing him, he could only bite the bullet and attack.
After making up my mind, I pulled down my blindfold and squeezed out of the crowd with my crutches...
