The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 346
The sun is pouring down.

The moment the horse neighed, the burly figure threw the sword, drew the sword, kicked the captain away, fell off the horse's back in one go, tapped his feet to the horse's belly, shouted "Drive!", and turned away with the reins Down below, the horse galloped wildly, and Juechen headed out of the mountain together.

A group of cavalrymen stared blankly at the figure going away, and then at the captain who was dead with his sword, someone reacted, drew his sword and rode his horse down the gentle slope, shouting loudly: "Chasing! Otherwise, we won't be able to do business when we go back—— "

As for the apprehension here, the cavalry can't take care of it at all. The death of the Shangguan means a greater responsibility to them. If they can't find the murderer, it will be light to go back and be beaten with military sticks.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes suddenly resounded through the hillside, spreading down and chasing the Jianghu man who had fled far away. On the hillside here, there are dozens of yamen servants and fast arresters. Without the support of the army behind them, the few people on the opposite side are not Dare to go up easily, the previous fight, the cooperation of those few people was enough to make them fearful, more than a hundred people came out to chase them down, and after half a day of hunting, more than half of them had been killed or killed.

"Up or not?" Looking at the panting wanted criminals over there, all the yamen servants, the arresters looked at me and I looked at you, hesitating while holding their weapons.

"If you go up, you rush up, and everyone will follow."

"I'm the first one to go up when I'm crazy. Whose family doesn't have a wife, children and old mother, and if they die, how will they live?"

"Why don't we rest for a while?"

In low voices, dozens of people swallowed their saliva, turned their eyes to other places and slowly gathered together, but Jiuyu and Geng Nian, who had already stumbled to the top of the hillside, looked at their expressions, and probably understood what happened They looked at each other, and slowly retreated to the woods behind vigilantly.

"Who was that person just now?" Geng Nian staggered and was supported by Zhao Biao. He couldn't help but be a little curious about the person who suddenly helped him just now. The other party's martial arts skills are as high as Jiuyu's. "Don't tell me to hug and fight." People in the Jianghu who are not fair. When ordinary people in the Jianghu see this situation, they don’t know how far to run to hide.”

"It's Qin Huaimian."

Jiuyu, who was walking in front, said softly, when the other party left Chang'an, Geng Nian was just a little guy with no memory, so naturally he didn't know him, not to mention that after so many years, even if he had some impressions, his appearance and spirit had changed a lot in ten years.

Looking back, seeing Geng Nian frowned and thinking carefully, Jiuyu smiled: "Your father's old acquaintance can be called a good brother, otherwise he wouldn't risk his life to save him at such a critical moment."

On the side, Zhao Biao followed suit and nodded: "Your Majesty, what the chief executive said is indeed true. This brother Qin used to be the servant of the Tang court at the beginning, but unfortunately later, when the court was gone, he left in despair. King Yong, he said he wanted to travel around the rivers and lakes to see the outside world, but he never expected to meet him here, his son is truly blessed, and there are noble people to help him wherever he goes."

After explaining and agreeing, he flattered by the way, but Geng Nian was not thinking about it at this time, and asked curiously as he walked: "My father, how many friends like this do we have? I think he still has to go to Qingming every year There is an old pine tree in the west of the city, and incense is placed on the two graves, who is that? It seems to be a woman from the name."

"That's Tang Baoer, who was also an old friend of King Yong, and was later led by King Yong."

Ok?
Jiuyu frowned, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, Zhao Biao who was talking quickly shut up, smiled and turned his head to one side, even though he didn't finish his sentence, Geng Nian was not an idiot, the back half can be made up by his brain Quan, thinking of that possibility, couldn't help but smacked his lips.

Unexpectedly, his father's previous experience was so wonderful. No wonder there are so many aunts in the family. If Tang Bao'er hadn't died, there would probably be one more in the house.

Not to mention adding a few more brothers and sisters.

Putting aside his thoughts, he walked for a while, passed through the woods in front of him, and reached a section of mountainside outside. The group sat down, and the young man immediately thought of the safety of Qin Huaimian who led the cavalry away.

"Can that Uncle Qin get rid of the pursuers?"

"He? His martial arts are much better than ten years ago, and he is alone. It should not be difficult to get rid of the pursuers." Jiuyu took a sip of water, adjusted his internal energy, and seized the time to recover his strength. He closed his eyes slightly: " I can’t wait for a while, I will find it.”

Resting in this open place, Jiuyu actually had the intention of waiting for the other party.

An hour later, the sky was gradually slanting to the west, and the pursuers had not yet come. The cold wind blew through the mountains and forests. In the sunlight, a burly figure held a sword in his right hand, and walked with a little girl in the wilderness on the mountainside with his left hand. Come with the evening wind.

"Here we come!" Zhao Biao stood up and said softly.

Jiuyu, who was sitting on the stone and adjusted his inner breath, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the father and daughter who were approaching Xiaguang, with a smile on their cold faces, stood up and arched their hands.

"Brother Qin, long time no see!"

Geng Nian also stood up, and bowed his hands in a polite salute, "Geng Nian pays his respects to Uncle Qin."

The wind blew the robes and whiskers, Qin Huaimian laughed as he looked at Jiuyu bowing his hands in return, and then his eyes fell on the young man beside the eunuch, the doubts in his eyes were cleared up with the word "Geng Nian" Yes, after looking at it carefully for a moment, he stroked his beard and laughed.

"It's really like it. When I left, I was still a milk baby. In the blink of an eye, it became so big. It looks like [-]% or [-]%. It is much fairer than your father!"

The latter sentence was mentioned by all the women in the palace and the old lady from time to time, and now it was mentioned by the Sword Master Qin, and the few people present couldn't help laughing out loud.

Even the little girl beside Qin Huaimian looked curiously at the said shy young man, and covered her mouth and snickered when she heard the adults' laughter.

The old friends reunited and exchanged a few pleasantries, and then they left here together.On the way, Jiuyu couldn't help wondering why the other party appeared here. After all, it was too coincidental for him to believe it.

"Hehe." Qin Huaimian led his daughter to the side, held a sword behind his back, looked at his old friend, and said with a chuckle, "I have been here for a long time. In the past few years, I would go to Sichuan almost every year. It will be less later, but it will come every two or three years.”

"Why?"

"Looking for Mount Shu. Seeking the Misty Way of the Sword."

Geng Nian frowned, Zhao Biao frowned, and Jiuyu frowned, "Can you tell me that we can understand?"

"Hahaha, it's Xunxian Mountain." Qin Huaimian laughed loudly, "There's nothing to say, just because I'm afraid you'll make fun of me. In fact, before I left Chang'an, I asked Ji Chang first where to go first. He said to go to Shu, but he couldn't tell. You can also find Mount Shu, where there are many sword celestial beings, and if you give them a hint or two at will, it will be of great benefit."

"Then you believed it?" Geng Nian knew his father's virtues, so he was absolutely talking nonsense. Sure enough, when he said something, Qin Huaimian over there nodded solemnly, but then laughed and said, "I don't believe everything. Instead, I came here. Taoism is prosperous here, and there are many people who seek immortals and ask questions, so I took the interest to look for it along the way. But I didn’t know that I searched for several years. Later, I met a woman in Shu and got married. She knew from her mouth that the so-called Mount Shu. Haha, it is just the name of many mountains in Emei and Qingcheng, so there is no sword fairy there."

"But your martial arts have also improved."

Qin Huaimian looked at Jiuyu and nodded, "Once climbing the tops of the mountains, you will have a feeling in your heart, and your swordsmanship will naturally improve."

Along the way, everyone heard him say a lot, and also said that after his wife died of illness, he took his daughter to the Central Plains and Jiangnan area, and he only arrived in Shuzhong last summer.

As Geng Nian listened, it was inevitable that he would ask about the other party's next plan.

"Uncle Qin, where are you going next?"

"Take you out of Sichuan. I am very familiar with this place." After pondering for a moment, Qin Huaimian looked at the expressions in Jiuyu's and Geng Nian's eyes, and nodded: "I will go to Chang'an. I haven't seen Ji Chang for a long time. I'm with you guys." Let’s go back and have a look together.”

As for the turmoil in Shu at this time, the game between soldiers and horses and the court, in the atmosphere of talking and laughing in the whole group, they no longer care so much, after all, it is the business of the leader.

mid-january in spring

The gates of Chengdu were closed tightly, and the assembled soldiers and horses originally went north to Jianzhou, but at this moment, in the eyes of everyone, they stayed in the barracks without any movement.

The atmosphere in the city was tense, the court hall was in a state of scorching, the northern gate was lost, and going south, the Longyou cavalry could reach the Chengdu Plain.

Some courtiers clamored for the emperor to take back Jianzhou, while others attacked political opponents with words.The emperor on the dragon chair was also in a state of confusion. Wang Zongyan may have some talent, but he has never been in charge of the government.

When North Korea, Chinese and Wu disputed, he was at a loss.

After so many years of singing and dancing, he is about to be sent to the city in a blink of an eye. At least he will have to give him a while?

"Would you like to negotiate a peace?"

In the noisy debate, above the Golden Palace, Wang Zongyan finally made a decision in his heart. Of course, there was also a suggestion from his mother and concubine. After all, he didn't want to fight.

At least, not now.

Soon, he wrote a letter to negotiate peace, used the seal, and sent a fast horse to Jianzhou in the north and Chang'an far away in the sky.
