Of course Lu Qiantang was not deaf. When he heard that the old sword fairy who didn't know his exact identity wanted him to compete with His Royal Highness. The sword is not as delicate and precise as other swordsmanship. If His Royal Highness is hurt, who can I turn to to complain? Looking for Dazhu Kingdom, which is famous for protecting its shortcomings, must be looking for death. Tell His Royal Highness the truth that swords have no eyes? No matter how you look at it, this His Highness is not a talkative master, maybe he will have to wear little shoes all the way. Lu Qiantang lamented in his heart, that's all, when the soldiers come to block him, he can only fight if he should be killed or cut, at worst, stand still and let His Royal Highness slash a few times.
The three of them teamed up with Fu Jiang in the battle against the Red Armored Man, who was reprimanded by Xu Fengnian to go away, Shu shy eyes and pupils curled up with a smile, how about it, this time it's your turn, Lu Qiantang, to be deflated, but you want to learn swords, old lady, let's see you How to end. Shu shame pouted at himself lightly, what old lady, the little girl is still young, how many girls in the world still have such beautiful looks like her at the age of thirty? When you pinch your face, the skin can drip water.
Shu Sha, who hadn't been a witch for many years, was adoring herself here, Xu Fengnian had already got up, Qingniao paid the bill, and gave a few taels of silver more, which made the wine stall happy.
Watching the slow procession of horses, the liquor seller sat on the empty table and bench, weighed up the broken silver and secretly had fun. He rarely poured himself a bowl of apricot flower wine lees that the waiter scooped up from the bottom of the wine tank. This stuff can’t be sold A few copper coins, but it can also relieve fatigue. The old doctor even said that it can fight against rheumatism in summer and soak frostbite in winter. Some villagers who have been bitten by snakes and bees are used to asking for some distiller's grains to detoxify. The shop owner looked up at the three dusty words on the signboard banner, thinking when he would take it down and clean it.
Just as he was thinking about trivial matters, he felt the ground tremble violently. He turned his head and saw a general carrying a strange huge weapon leading more than a hundred soldiers rushing past. The boss rubbed his eyes and didn't look at it. Wrong, it was the heavy-armored general who was very respectful in front of the romantic and suave son just now, and he had seen the outfits of Yongzhou soldiers and horses a few times from a distance, which was already shocking, but the cavalry in front of him was even more majestic and sharp. The burly general, all horses and light armors, each of them wears a standard Beiliang knife and carries a bow and crossbow. The shop owner vaguely recognizes that knife. During the Spring and Autumn War, the reputation of this murderous knife has spread all over the world. In the early days, countless people in the dynasty were proud of having obtained a Beiliang War Saber. Later, the imperial court issued a decree that no one but Beiliang soldiers should be allowed to wear this saber privately, otherwise they would be punished as a crime.
Damn, which one of the Diaoqiu disciples from Yongzhou can make an exaggerated formation followed by a hundred elite cavalry
Is it the descendants of generals who came to Yongzhou to play from Beiliang? But Yongzhou has been fighting against Liangzhou with Quanzhou these years, and even a commoner like him knows this well, how can a dude from Beiliang have the courage to mobilize an army to gallop in Yongzhou? Isn't this a slap in the face of our governor Tian? The owner of the shop carefully put away the broken silver, protected the half-drinked white wine bowl with one hand, and raised one hand to shake it to disperse the dust. What is the origin, anyway, he is the only big person I have ever seen in my life. The boss waited for the dust to clear away, then took a sip of the distiller's grains with a bowl, and said with emotion: "Young master, your family background is really amazing, and I have never seen him before The women in the world talk about it well. Alas, it’s a pity that it’s not from our Yongzhou, otherwise it would be embarrassing to talk about it.”
Yuan Meng, the Lieutenant of the Fengzi Camp who fought side by side with Ning Emei in the heavy rain with the terrifying red-armored man, is a general from a middle-class gentry in Beiliang. His career as a civil servant did not go smoothly, so he joined the army in Beiliang , since he was a child, he practiced martial arts with a reclusive instructor in the clan who retired from the rivers and lakes. Yuan Meng's marksmanship has been mastered, which is incomparable to the villain Tu who studied under the Northern Spear Fairy King, but he can also be regarded as a member of the front line To be honest, he lost dozens of brothers in just one day of traveling to Beiliang, making Yuan Meng, who regards soldiers as brothers, vomit blood in anger. What is even more frustrating is that such grievances cannot be shown on his face. , I dare not make irresponsible remarks to that prince.
It's funny to say that Yuan Meng and Daji Ning'emei have the same official rank, from the sixth rank, they can't go up or down, but Yuan Meng is convinced by General Ning. There is obviously some distance between them, but in the Beiliang Army, the six generals who lead the army are of great importance, and it is inevitable that they cannot be expected or reached, but the four-toothed tiger general is easier to see with his own eyes. You can see their figures when they are celebrating and drinking. In Yuan Meng's opinion, General Ning is the most popular among the four teeth. Generals with a bad temper and frequent whips should be easy to get along with, especially in Xiaoxiaoheyang County. I dare not fart even one! Hearty and delightful, this is the hero of Beiliang!
Ning Emei suddenly raised her halberd and stopped her horse, turned around and laughed loudly at all the Qingqi: "His Royal Highness told me when he was drinking just now, if he was at the gate of Yingzhuan City that day, he would have the deputy captain of Dongjin strip naked and hang him at the gate of the city." superior!"
Yuan Meng was taken aback.
The hundred cavalry guards of Fengziying probably all had the same expression as the leader Yuan Meng, their hearts fluctuated a little, but they didn't take it seriously.
Ning Emei just passed on the words, and continued to ride the horse forward, and the giant halberd almost dragged the ground.
According to the scheduled itinerary, they would enter a city to rest in the evening, but Xu Fengnian did not enter the city, so Lu Qiantang picked a trail to enter the Qingcheng Mountains, which meant that unless they found a temple on the mountain, the group would sleep in the wilderness tonight , Qingcheng Mountain has sixty-four peaks, the peaks surround it like a city, and the ancient trees are green all the year round, so it is named Qingcheng.
There are three wonderful scenic spots in Yongzhou. The easternmost one is the "Xiqu Jiange", which is said to be able to be struck by a sword from the east. Then there is this famous Taoist mountain and blessed place where a King Qingcheng came out. It was originally a cave on the Nine Dou Rice Road, but the owner of the Qingyang Palace who was bestowed by the old emperor on the Qingcheng King was a Taoist who came from the same sect of dragon and tiger. It can be regarded as the dove occupying the magpie's nest, expelling all the incense-filled Jiudoumi Road, leaving only one Qingyang Palace to take the lead, so now the green and stretching Qingcheng Mountain has a sharp decline in incense every year. Compared with other famous mountains, it is much deserted. The famous name does not match, the misfortune never comes singly because there are fewer visitors, but there are more grass bandits occupying the mountain as kings, and the whereabouts of stragglers and rogues are uncertain, and they are kings together with King Qingcheng. There is an old hunter in the mountain who is willing to take risks and lead the way. After several twists and turns, the county guard sees that the owner of the Qingyang Palace doesn't appreciate it. I don't like to waste people's money, unless the dignitaries who came to Qingcheng Mountain to explore and enjoy the scenery were robbed unfortunately, and they sent troops into the mountain under pressure.
The government is waiting for this Qingcheng mountain to become a dead mountain and a dead city, to see how you, the king of Qingcheng with an empty name, can maintain the incense.
His Royal Highness changed the itinerary, and Wei Shuyang, an old Taoist priest of nine buckets of rice, was quite touched. When he was young, he used to live on a peak in the back mountain, but he was not the kind of person who admired Taoism when he was young. He became a Taoist priest after all kinds of discouragement. The feelings are not deep, but I am quite angry with the Qingcheng King's act of expelling Jiu Dou Mi Dao. If it weren't for the important task of protecting His Royal Highness, the Taoist priest who insisted on Qingyang Palace and the Dragon and Tiger Mountain came to Qingcheng Mountain to enshrine the king theory theory.
Qingcheng Mountain is already known for its foggy conditions, and after entering the mountain for half an hour, the twilight seemed particularly heavy. Xu Fengnian was not in a hurry to ask Lu Qiantang to find a place to rest at night. He rode on a white horse with a carefree mood. Yu Youwei listened to the veteran Wei Shuyang all the way. Introduce the scenery of Qingcheng Mountain, which is the most secluded in the world, and don't worry about eating and sleeping in the wind. Back then, tens of thousands of people in the imperial city of Western Chu fled, and she and her father were engulfed by the torrent. Why didn't they suffer
Xu Fengnian left the mountain on the official road when he heard that there was a Taoist temple with a very high ranking in the mountains, but in the middle of the day, he encountered a group of scissors, chasing each other and fleeing, it was really embarrassing, Xu Fengnian thought about it Then the corners of his mouth curled up. If he hadn't known that Lao Huang was Jian Jiuhuang, it might have been very late to know that this guy with missing front teeth and fond of drinking rice wine is a master, right? At that time, Xu Fengnian was riding on the back of the horse, while Lao Huang was running wildly under the horse, carrying the bag on his back, and he was not slow at all. If the thin body is an ordinary person, where is the energy that is as strong as the sea, and he ran half a mountain with the horse ? Why didn't I think of it at that time
Xu Fengnian came back to his senses, glanced at the familiar scenery from his memory, and said with a smile: "Lv Qiantang, one mile up the road, there is an old Taoist temple, you should check it out first."
Lu Qiantang took the order and left.
The mountain was damp and wet, and the young fish was a little cold, so she hugged Wu Meiniang tightly, and Xu Fengnian said softly after seeing it, "You and Jiang Ni will sleep in the carriage at night."
Yu Youwei looked complicated, lowered her eyes, and looked at Wu Meiniang who was looking up.
Not long after Lu Qiantang returned, he respectfully said: "Reporting to Your Highness, there is indeed an empty Taoist temple, and there is nothing else to do."
Xu Fengnian nodded, then turned to Yang Qingfeng and said, "Go catch some wild game."
Yang Qingfeng jumped into the dense forest, and the horse was still moving forward docilely.
The Taoist temple is still the same Taoist temple, but it was even dilapidated back then. Lu Qiantang was gathering firewood and lighting a fire in the courtyard. Naturally, the three of them would take turns guarding it tonight. If Shu shyly refused, Lu Qiantang would not care about it Trivial things. Among the three servants of the palace, who is higher and who is lower, Da Zhu Guo said lazily, His Royal Highness never said a word, it seems that the three of them are going to fight each other on the way, as for who is stronger and who is weaker, it is really hard to say Lu Qiantang has a lot of confidence in the Chixia Sword in his hand, but he is not blindly conceited. Against the talisman general, the red-armored man, Shu Shu's internal strength cannot be underestimated, and Yang Qingfeng's treacherous techniques are even more unpredictable. how? That handmaiden called Blue Bird by His Royal Highness shocked him with her attack today.
Yang Qingfeng came back after catching a few pheasants and hares, and even carried a wild muntjac on his shoulders, but His Royal Highness only took a fancy to those pheasants, and said with a smile: "This is a special product of Mount Qingcheng. It’s even worse than the wild deer. You’ll know after you taste it, provided that this son can keep his mouth shut.”
There is a clear spring at the back of the Taoist temple, and the blue bird peels and washes the ginger mud that Xu Fengnian sent away with a glare. To make a long-term plan, Xu Fengnian asked Qingniao to teach how to control the heat of ginger paste that can be scorched by roast geese. Xu Fengnian sat on the steps, embroidered Dong Chunlei with two long and short knives stacked on his knees, and he did not bring much personal belongings when traveling. Yu Youwei didn't want to sit on the ground, so she sat with dirty clothes, and stood beside Xu Fengnian with Wu Meiniang in her arms. The old sword god was lying on the top step with his feet up, resting on a piece of blue stone he picked up at random. Yang Qingfeng was feeding the horse outside the courtyard, and two door gods, Shu Shuo and Lu Qiantang, stood guard at the gate of the courtyard.
Xu Fengnianguang waited for the food to enter his mouth, then turned his head and pointed to a towering mountain peak in the distance, and said softly: "The top of the mountain over there is the Qingyang Palace. If the night is clear after the rain, you can see the spectacle of thousands of lights turning up to the sky. But I also listened to what Lao Huang said, and never saw it with my own eyes. Back then, I was robbed by someone at the foot of the mountain. I almost died of exhaustion from running. In a panic, I rode my horse into the forest path, and was knocked off my horse by a low-hanging branch. , so I was tied up here with Lao Huang. Fortunately, there was no danger, and I tasted half a ginkgo chicken because of a blessing in disguise. Come on? In short, he was so grateful that he snotted and burst into tears, making me laugh to death."
Yu Youwei didn't smile at all when she saw His Royal Highness who was joking to death.
