Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 535: Encountering an Earth Dragon and turning over again

The sky is dark,

The hot sun gradually darkens until the sun gradually disappears. This is a rare sight of a Tengu eclipse.

The entire Ningrong Street was suddenly silent. Only the bonfire in front of the Ning Mansion could illuminate the surroundings. Suddenly, someone among the people shouted, "Run! The sky is gone."

Then came the panicked shouts of the people, who fled in all directions. The chaotic scene made Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others stand there blankly, thinking in their hearts that the immortal master was indeed so powerful that he could even absorb the sun.

Zhang Jinyu, who was in the carriage, swore secretly and hurriedly opened the curtain. He looked at the horizon and saw that the sun was still there. It was just a solar eclipse. He felt relieved. He thought it was really destroyed by the magic of the immortal master just now. My eyes were opened today.

However, the chaos around them made Zhang Jinyu nervous. The people fled in all directions and crowded each other. The guards beside the carriage immediately took out their long knives and huddled tightly together, guarding the carriage firmly.

Ning Bian was outside the car and couldn't see clearly the chaos around him, so he asked nervously,

"Master Hou, what should we do?"

Zhang Jinyu pulled out the long knife from behind and shouted;

"Everyone should guard the carriage. Go back immediately. No, go to the Marquis' Mansion. Then send troops to protect you. Then return to the palace. Anyone who dares to collide with the carriage will be killed!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis, drive!"

The carriage immediately started to move. The people around Huangcheng Si and others were holding on to the drawn long knives and moving with the carriage, while Zhang Jinyu was guarding the door with the knife.

In the car, Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong had a livid face and stared at the door of Ning Mansion, obviously frightened. Queen Jiang's face turned pale, and she glanced at the dim sky around her in fear, wondering what had happened.

The short nun beside him also took out a hidden knife from somewhere and pressed it on the bottom of his hand. Dai Quan also took out a dagger from his waist.

Zhang Jinyu shouted outside the car,

"Ningbian, speed up, go to the Hou Mansion, hurry up."

"Yes, Lord Marquis, drive."

After saying that, Ning Bian jumped on the carriage and slashed the horse's buttocks with the back of his knife. The horse pulling the carriage roared and started running. Looking at the still frightened people, Zhang Jinyu comforted,

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please rest assured. I will stay here and will escort your Majesty and your Majesty back to the palace safely."

But Emperor Wu seemed to have just come back to his senses and said excitedly,

"Stop the car, stop the car, Marquis Luo Yun, go back and arrest that demon. How did he cast the spell?"

"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to return to the palace safely. After His Majesty returns to the palace, it will not be too late for me to mobilize troops to arrest him."

Zhang Jinyu was sitting in the car and refused to give in. What time had it been? She was still thinking about the evil way. Even Queen Jiang was holding the Emperor Wu's arm tightly and said tremblingly,

"Your Majesty, what Marquis Luo Yun said is a top priority. The current situation is unclear and cannot be tampered with. The heaven and earth are changing. The capital will inevitably be unstable, and the court does not know what will happen."

Dai Quan even looked mournful and begged,

"Your Majesty, the overall situation is our top priority. Return to the palace first."

But Emperor Wu reluctantly looked back and left Ningrong Street helplessly. The Tengu Eclipse Sun has never existed in my dynasty, but it did exist in the previous dynasty, but they were all catastrophes. How could this happen suddenly? Thinking of it, The demon took out the gourd to collect the Yang Qi from the sky, with fear in his heart. It was such a coincidence.

The convoy rushed along the street, and the fleeing people trampled and collided with each other. Fortunately, Ningbian drove safely and arrived at the street not far from the Hou Mansion without any danger.

"Report, Mr. Hou, the Hou Mansion is ahead,"

Immediately, Zhang Jinyu in the car was shocked and immediately spoke out.

"Quickly, go back to the house and dispatch three hundred soldiers to escort you!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Ningbian jumped out of the carriage with a long knife in his backhand and ran towards the Hou Mansion quickly. At this time, the sky slowly returned to clear sky. The shadow on the sun gradually disappeared and the light returned. However, in the surrounding streets, shop owners were nervously closing their doors. The streets of the capital were filled with closed shops, vendors on the roadside, collapsed stalls, panicked crowds, and the wails of injured people who fell to the ground.

Zhang Jinyu's hand holding the knife was a little tight. It was a bad year. She really didn't look at the almanac when she went out. She looked at Liu Qianhu outside the car and said,

"The carriage continues to move closer to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. Reinforcements will be here soon."

"Yes, Lord Marquis, keep going forward without stopping."

Then the motorcade continued to drive forward. At this time, Ning Bianye also rushed to the gate of the Hou Mansion and shouted,

"Quick, the Marquis has an order to dispatch three hundred troops from the Pioneer Battalion out of the mansion!"

Then, from the side door of the Hou Mansion, a large number of soldiers from the Pioneer Battalion rushed out. It turned out that just after it suddenly darkened, the face of the captain of the Hou Mansion's bodyguard changed greatly, and he immediately summoned all the soldiers of the Hou Mansion to wear armor and hold swords in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion. On call.

It came into use at this time. When he saw Ning Bian alone outside the main entrance, his expression immediately changed and he shouted,

"General Ning, where is the Marquis?"

"Master Marquis, Master Marquis is behind you. Quickly mobilize your troops. You can guard the mansion here."

After saying that, he led the three hundred soldiers who came out and surrounded the approaching carriage.

"Master Marquis, the soldiers have arrived."

Everyone in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief when they saw armored soldiers surrounding the carriage.

I thought I could settle down,

Emperor Wu was about to speak when he suddenly felt dizzy. He couldn't help but reach out and press the cushions in the carriage to steady himself. Empress Jiang was also caught off guard and fell on Zhou Shihong. The nanny immediately stretched out her hand. Pulling the window open and looking out of the car, Dai Quan lost his balance, fell to the side, sat down and fell inside the car.

Before I could figure out what was going on with the magnitude of this shaking, the ground began to shake again.

Zhang Jinyu could no longer stand still. After waking up, she hurriedly held on to the door frame of the carriage. She was startled, and the carriage began to shake and rise and fall.

Afterwards, the ground began to shake, and there was a loud boom in the distance. People could no longer stand still. The soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion immediately formed a formation to stabilize their bodies and rely on each other.

Ningbian's face changed drastically and he shouted,

"No, it's the earth dragon that has turned over."

The emperor was shocked, how could it be like this today? The shaking lasted for a short while, and then stabilized. Only then did Zhang Jinyu understand that it was an earthquake, and secretly thought, today is a very unlucky day, there is an earthquake again, and the Tengu eclipses the sun again, it won't happen If there is anything else in a while, I’d better send His Majesty back as soon as possible. It’s just that you have to be very nervous on the way back.

"Your Majesty, my empress, please feel relieved for now. It's just an earth dragon turning over. It's nothing serious. Sit back and relax."

Then he shouted outside the car,

"Ningbian, let the brothers lead the horses and then return to the palace quickly without stopping along the way!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Immediately afterwards, Ning Bian ran towards the Hou Mansion, and then took people to the stables to move the war horses out. Most of the war horses were neighing uneasily, and it took the soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion some time to calm down. Seeing this,

Zhang Jinyu opened the curtain and jumped out, led a war horse, got on the horse, and shouted,

"Hurry, everyone mount their horses and go straight to the palace. No stops on the way. Drive."

"drive!"

There was a sound of armor clashing, and the soldiers of the vanguard battalion got on their horses, and together with the carriage, they rushed towards the Ouchi Palace. This group of people was clearly visible.

"drive!"

"drive!"

In front of Ningguo Mansion,

Looking at the panicked crowd,

Immortal Master Feng Keping was also stunned. Could it be that he really had the power to control the sun? He was shocked in his heart. How could it be possible? It must be a coincidence.

But he kept his face firm, and then shouted,

"If Xie Chong doesn't return to his position, suppress him!"

However, following the earthquake, everyone around him was unsteady and staggering around. Feng Keping was helped by two disciples to stand still. He was even more surprised and doubtful in his heart. Could it be that those magic weapons really have the power of ghosts and gods? I collected these all in the countryside, then bought good paint, painted them myself, and took them to dry for many days before taking shape. Could it be that they are really treasures? The more I think about them, the more confused I become.

But Jia Zhen and his son were both stunned. The immortal master's magic power was so powerful. Could it be that cultivating Taoism can really lead to immortality? Even Jia Rong was wondering if he had not woken up today and was still dreaming. Who would have thought that the immortal master's face changed and he He put the things away and shouted hurriedly,

"Jia Jia, hurry up and thank the guests behind closed doors. Then clean up and go into the house to guard the alchemy furnace. Don't disturb this immortal master's meditation. Hurry up."

He turned around and pulled his two disciples and ran back to Tianxiang Tower. The disciples behind him had a look of admiration on their faces.

"Master, you are truly a master, you actually have such power,"

"Yes, Master, it's amazing."

However, Feng Ke's face changed slightly and he returned to the building. Then he took off his clothes and asked the two apprentices to take off their clothes together. Then he took out the package under the bed and changed into ordinary people's clothes. The package on the bed was still there. There are several, all filled with soft gold and silver, as well as some dry food and water bladders.

The two apprentices were puzzled and asked,

"Master, what are you doing?"

"What to do, of course, is to run away. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave. You two should hurry up, change your clothes, and go out through the secret door. Master has long expected that such a day will come. After taking the money, he bought a small Courtyard, when we get there to hide, we must not say that we are cultivators. I am afraid that we will not be good today, and the court will definitely be in turmoil!"

Feng Keping pointed to the location of the palace, and the two apprentices came to their senses. The eldest apprentice immediately changed his clothes, and the younger apprentice asked in confusion,

"Master, you are not very powerful, why are you afraid of the imperial court?"

Before he finished speaking, Feng Keping let out a sigh and cursed,

"You are so powerful, but you are just trying to make a fool of yourself. I just met the Tengu eating the sun, and the Earth Dragon turned over. It was just a coincidence. I almost lost my mind as a teacher. If I don't run away, I'm afraid I will die here." Hurry up."

Feng Keping knew very well that what had just happened was seen by many people, and the court would definitely notice that no matter how big the Ningguo Mansion was, it could not be bigger than the palace. There were too many high-ranking officials, and their virtues were not as good as those of dogs. The two apprentices changed their clothes and waved, and the three of them jumped out of the window and left. Then when they arrived at the side door, Feng Keping took out the key he had prepared and opened the copper lock. Then he stretched out his head and looked at the street. When there was no one around, he immediately ran out with his two apprentices. Before leaving, he deliberately threw a few shabby clothes and ran towards the small courtyard that had been prepared long ago.

Behind him was an abandoned copper lock, lying there alone.

As for the things behind him, they have long been forgotten.

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, not knowing why, saw the immortal master hastily ending up and taking people back, and they didn't dare to stay here. They immediately asked people to pack their things, and looked at the panicked people running around on the street. They couldn't help but feel sad. Panic, something happened,

"Hurry up and take all your things back, Lai Sheng. The door is locked and no one is allowed in."

"Come on, Lord Marquis, the palace city is here."

"I know, take the main entrance, the palace gate must be closed at this moment."

Zhang Jinyu is now afraid that something will happen in the palace, especially on the side of the Supreme Emperor. When such a big thing is in chaos, there is a saying called fishing in troubled waters. If the palace door is closed, who knows what may happen inside.

I felt a little anxious. When I arrived in front of Chongwen Gate, I looked up and saw that there were no traces of the Imperial Guards outside the door.

really,

When they arrived at the Ouchi Palace, the Imperial Guards were already in full formation and the palace gates were tightly closed. When Zhang Jinyu led the troops to the palace gates, General Dingzhi, the gatekeeper of the Imperial Guards on the city tower, looked nervously at the soldiers and horses below. He didn't know where they came from, or what? The cavalryman shouted nervously in his heart,

"Who is coming? Please tell me your name. The palace door is closed today, so please come back."

Zhang Jinyu approached the carriage window and said,

"Your Majesty, my empress, the palace has arrived, but the palace door is closed and you can't get in."

"Well, I understand, Dai Quan, go and call the door!"

Emperor Wu responded, "As soon as you arrive at the palace, just ask Dai Quan to call the door and enter the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Dai Quan Liushen uneasily opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. He hadn't woken up from the panic just now. He was unsteady and almost fell off the carriage. He was held by Qianhu Liu Chen with quick hands and eyes. He looked worriedly. Coming over, Dai Quan was so shocked that he got out of the carriage and said,

"Nothing to do, let's get over it."

Then he came to the palace gate alone, looked at the imperial guard on the gate tower and immediately scolded him,

"Hurry up and open the palace gate. The Za family has something urgent."

I saw someone calling the door.

Sun Shan, the captain on the tower, stretched out his head and looked down. He saw that the person was wearing the clothes of a housekeeper, but his face was familiar. After a closer look, he turned out to be the internal minister. He immediately retracted his body and whispered to General Yu,

"General, you can't open the palace door. The people below, with their humble position, look like internal ministers,"

"How could this be him? Who do those soldiers and horses belong to?"

Yu Dingzhi was also shocked and confused. Wasn't the inner minister always in the palace? When did he go out? He also changed his clothes. He had just experienced two changes in the world, and he was already frightened. Could it be that there had been a big change? He was hesitant, not Feeling relieved, Yu Dingzhi stretched out his head from the crenellation of the gate tower and looked at the person coming carefully. That's right, it was the internal minister. What should he do?

"Yu Dingzhi, open the door. Where is the person?"

Dai Quan, who was at the bottom of the city, looked anxious. Seeing that the city gate had not been opened, the people on the city were still a little indifferent, and some angrily shouted out the name of the guard, obviously impatient.

But Yu Dingzhi didn't dare to open the door at this time. After all, there was more than just the Prime Minister coming outside, and there were soldiers and horses who didn't know where they came from behind him. If he let them in rashly, he would be finished. Since the founding of the country, except for the imperial army , no soldiers or horses are allowed to enter the palace city.

Hesitating in his heart, Captain Sun Shan beside him kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. Seeing the general's hesitation and the anxious look of the city minister, he asked anxiously,

"General, what should we do? Open the city gate or not. Those soldiers and horses look familiar to me. They seem to be the soldiers and horses of Marquis Luo Yun. Look at those cavalry. There are not many cavalry in the capital."

The palace gate guard, General Dingzhi, was shocked when he heard this. What was going on? How could Luo Yunhou's soldiers and horses enter the city? The people from the Military and Horse Division had already been dispatched, and the city gate had been locked long ago!

"What, what's going on? You can see clearly."
