Chapter 174 Spring Break
As the saying goes, sacrifices are made to the west, and the place for suburban sacrifices is at the foot of the West Mountain.After offering sacrifices to Heaven and Qin Sang, of course it is time to go to the West Mountain to enjoy the spring.

The spring scenery of Xishan Mountain is unique in Jingzhao, because there are countless peach and pear trees planted here. In the flowering period of March, the mountains and plains are first full of red peach blossoms, and then the pear blossoms are white with layers of snow.More often, red and white complement each other, setting off the blue sky of Xishan, giving people a thrilling visual impact.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, some poets left here the famous line "Pillow the red shop and sleep while white and drunk". Later, countless literati and scholars wrote poems and recited lines here. It is very colorful for the spring scenery of peach pears in Xishan.

Now on the first archway on the west side of Xishan, there is a plaque of "First Spring", which is the first thing everyone who enters Xishan sees.Because Gyeonggi Guards are stationed on the east side of Xishan Mountain, the passage on the west side becomes the only entrance to Xishan Mountain.

At this moment, Shen Du followed behind Emperor Chongde, slowly passed through the archway, and began to enter the West Mountain.Xishan is not high and steep, but mostly flat. It is this kind of terrain that can achieve the unique spring scenery of Xishan.

Elegant or rich aromas were constantly sent into Shen Du's nose with the wind, but he didn't care to savor the aromas, instead he frowned, because he still smelled something unusual in these aromas.

Shen Du didn't know what this unusual breath was, so he looked cold and hard, raised his heart high, held his hands on the hilt of his sword, and made a posture of vigilance and protection.

Soon, Shen Du keenly caught the faint tremor of the breath, and he jumped up instantly, flitting across the flowers, closely following the tremor.

At the same time, Vice General Xue Shoufan of Huben also moved a few steps quickly, getting closer to Emperor Chongde.Immediately, he drew out the broadsword at his waist and placed it at Emperor Chongde's side.

In the next moment, Huben's Deputy Army Chen Wei also rose from the ground, and chased in the direction Shen Du was galloping, as fast as a gust of wind.

The actions of these three people were so fast that the rest of the civil and military court officials didn't even know what happened.They only felt dazzled, and saw that Xue Shoufan had drawn his sword and guarded the emperor's side, and then only saw the trembling of the flower branches, and they didn't even notice that Shen Du had disappeared.

Emperor Chongde's expression remained unchanged, and he waved his hand at Xue Shoufan to signal him to keep quiet, then turned around and said to the civil and military officials: "I come to Xishan every year, and find that the spring scenery of Xishan is different every year. It is worthy of the reputation of 'the first spring'. What do you ladies think?"

Now that the emperor said so, the officials had no choice but to suppress the sudden tension, and they all replied in unison: "What the emperor said is very true, the spring scenery of Xishan is indeed unique."

Xue Shoufan put back the knife, his expression was still very alert, he wanted to say something, but held back under Emperor Chongde's expression.More importantly, he realized that the danger approaching just now had disappeared, so he complied with the emperor's wishes, otherwise, he would have escorted the emperor out of here immediately.

Beside Emperor Chongde, there are also three central gods.Although they don't know martial arts, decades of immersion in the court has made them have a pair of sharp eyes.As soon as they saw Xue Shoufan's actions, they knew that danger was approaching.

Pei Gongfu took a step forward, and said to Emperor Chongde in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, the son of a thousand gold can't sit still, I suggest you go back to the palace immediately."
At any time, he felt that the emperor's safety was the most important thing, and he could put aside all the spring scenery in Xishan and the joy of the monarch and his ministers.

Pei Gongfu's words reminded Emperor Chongde of his performance in the past when he was in danger. Standing in a dangerous place was indeed not his style, so he responded to Pei Gongfu's words.

Emperor Chongde ordered the third prince Zhu Xuanming to continue enjoying the spring with young officials, while he himself returned to the palace with important officials such as Fang Jixin, Pei Gongfu, and Wang Zhang under the escort of Xue Shoufan and some Huben troops.

Besides, Shen Du followed the tremor closely, and then followed a man in white.The tremor just now was caused by the man in white.Because the emperor and all the officials wanted to enjoy the spring in Xishan, Xishan had already been cleaned up, and there was no one else except the guards.

Such a man in white spying on Emperor Chongde is either an assassin or a spy, no matter what his status is, Shen Du will keep him.Otherwise, he will be useless as a tiger general.

The man in white's lightness kung fu was very good, he was like a white swallow, shuttling among the numerous flowering branches, behind him was Shen Du in a scarlet official uniform, and the two of them got into a lush pear blossom forest one after the other.

Then, the man in white stopped suddenly, he turned around suddenly, and the sword in his hand had already stabbed Shen Du.Shen Du immediately turned sideways, taking advantage of the gap to avoid, and quickly drew out his sword for protection.

Two people, one white and one red, were fighting fiercely in the forest. Apart from the sound of "Peng Cheng" fencing and the subtle sound of falling flowers, there was no other sound.

The biting sword energy shook the pear blossoms on the branches, and the pear blossoms that bloomed brilliantly fell on the shoulders of the two people's hair, and then shook off with the movements of the two people.Such a scene has an indescribable beauty.

The more the fight went on, the more dignified Shen Du's expression became, because he found that the martial arts of the man in white was higher than his, which could be known from the frequency of their panting.Obviously, Shen Du's breathing was faster than that of the man in white.

The martial arts of the man in white is obviously much better than the lightness kung fu, or maybe, his lightness kung fu is deliberately slowed down, just to lure himself to chase after him.When Shen Du thought of this possibility, his expression changed.

Just now he was fully focused on chasing the man in white, he only wanted to intercept the man in white, and there was no time for thinking.When the man in white stopped to fight with him, Shen Du realized that he was taken far away by the man in white, so far that no one would know what happened here.

This man in white is not here for the emperor, his real goal is himself! ——Shen Du suddenly realized this, and his face became extremely ugly.

He didn't have time to think more, the only thing he could do was to resist the attack of the man in white.After dozens of battles converged, Shen Du's movements finally slowed down, and the sword of the man in white followed, cutting a bloody hole on his left arm.

Chen Wei chased after the clues left by Shen Du, and when he arrived at Lihualin, he saw the scene of Shen Du being injured.Before he could think about anything, he drew his sword and joined the battle, trying to block the attack of the man in white, and gave Shen Du a chance to breathe.

However, even if Chen Wei joins the battle, the situation in the forest has not changed much, and the advantage is still on the side of the man in white.It was only then that Shen Du realized the true strength of the man in white. Even if he and Chen Wei worked together, he was still no match for the man in white!

"Master Shen, let's go!" Chen Wei stabbed at the man in white with his sword again, shouting like this.He also saw that the target of the man in white was Shen Du, and the only way out now was to stop the man in white with all his might in exchange for Shen Du's chance to leave.

The long-term habit of vigilance made Chen Wei never call Shen Du "Master" when outsiders were around. Even in such a critical time, he still called Shen Du "Master Shen".

"Small skills!" The man in white snorted coldly, and said the first sentence.This was a voice that Shen Du and Chen Wei had never heard before, as if cotton was in their mouths, it was extremely hoarse and vague.

As soon as his words fell, he actually took the sword back, and then slapped Chen Wei's chest with his palm, and saw Chen Wei spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body was shot flying like a leaf, and then " He fell to the ground with a bang, and passed out.

Seeing this, Shen Du's pupils shrank involuntarily.He knew about Chen Wei's martial arts. He was ranked among the top [-] in the Huben Army, but the white-clothed man sent Chen Wei flying with just one palm. Who is this white-clothed man?
Shen Du had no time to think about it, he could only endure the severe pain in his left arm, and raised his sword to stab the man in white.Since he cannot escape, he can only face difficulties.

Although the man in white slapped Chen Wei away with a single palm, he still pressed Shen Du with his sword and stabbed several wounds on Shen Du's body, but he never gave Shen Du a fatal blow. .

Shen Du immediately noticed the attitude of the man in white.The man in white obviously had a chance to kill him, but he suppressed him by attacking him like this, forcing him to use up his power to fight him, as if he was trying to test something.

Probing?Probe!The man in white is testing, testing what martial arts he knows, and even testing who else is around him!

Realizing this, Shen Du moved his lips and let out a hasty cry, which sounded like he was calling, and the man in white really thought he was calling for someone, so his eyes became eager, looking forward to someone Come.

What he didn't know was that outside the lush pear blossom forest, several people who were approaching quickly stopped instantly after hearing this cry, and then turned around and left without a sound.

It didn't take long for Bai Yi to notice the change in Shen Du.The young man who was fighting against him, although he was resisting with all his strength in every move and style, he rushed forward desperately as if he didn't spare his life, and as if he was cornered.

The man in white knew enough about Shen Du in advance to know that he was not such a rampant person. Such an attack could only prove one thing, that is, Shen Du had already discovered something abnormal, and he did not know that he was delaying time. , it is still certain that there will be no harm to life.

Thinking of this, the man in white's eyes flickered, and a fierce murderous aura erupted from his whole body. The murderous aura was all concentrated on the tip of the sword, and he slashed at Shen Du fiercely.

The overwhelming murderous intent rushed towards Shen Du, allowing Shen Du to clearly see the approaching murderous intent. He almost exhausted all his moves, only the ones at the bottom of the box were left. After knowing the tentative intention of the man in white, , can't be used no matter what, even...even if he is seriously injured and dies, he can't use it, because there is still Shen Su in the Shen family!

With a "snap", under the pressure of the sword qi, Shen Shen's sword had been involuntarily released, and he watched helplessly as the snow-white sword tip approached.
