A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 147 Lin Yuan (10)
Dali doesn't want you, I want you.

Lian Deng and Tan Nu looked at each other, she just left?Are you going to be a concubine?

"Anyway, there must be a title." Tan Nu said to himself, "In the future, if the King of Qi dies, the mistress will be kicked out or sold, and there is no reason for it."

Lian Deng hurriedly chased it out, Zhuan Zhuan had followed King Qi to the door.The three of them depended on each other these days, and never thought that there would be a day when they would be separated.Now that Zhuanzhuan was snatched away, and lost a general for no reason, Lian Deng felt like a knife was piercing his heart.She still wants to bring them to live in Dunhuang. It was so perfect, but now it has become incomplete. This feeling is indescribable.

She called her, "If you are kicked out, remember to come to us."

After listening to it around, I burst into tears, after all, a true friend is the most reliable in this world.She is a poor person, she has no natal family and no relatives. She was caught by King Qi this time, and she is not even considered married. Is there any woman as unlucky as her?But it doesn't matter, the more you belittle her, the more you have to be self-reliant. Watch her blossom out of the dust and spoil the Qi Palace!
She waved her hand boldly, "Don't worry, I will do well. If you come to see me in the future, I will definitely have a bright future!" Wanting to comfort them, King Qi pulled her impatiently, She was dragged down the steps and stuffed into the sedan chair.

Zhuan Zhuan was carried away, and the two groups of people on the Huangtu Ridge Road gradually moved away. Lian Deng and Tan Nu supported each other, and their hearts were cold.Lian Deng said: "Can I see her in the future? The palace is different from ordinary people!"

Tan Nu nodded, "I gave my life to the king at the beginning, and I only knew about the concubine, not the concubine. If those concubines are not liked by the prince, the concubine can dispose of them at will. If you sell, you sell."

Lian Deng felt that Zhuan Zhuan had fallen into a bottomless pit, and she didn't have any martial arts, if someone bullied her, what would she do in that deep house?She sighed, "If we leave, Zhuanzhuan doesn't even have a place to redress her grievances, who will teach her a lesson?"

"But we can't help you with the affairs of the palace, blame me for being in poor health, otherwise you might as well kill that Wei Shi and let Zhuan Zhuan become the concubine." Tan Nu sighed with her hands down, they always spared no effort to protect their own people.

After being sad for a while, I returned to the room, and the two of them sat silently facing each other. One of them was missing, and they had no strength to do anything.I thought this was the worst thing, but I didn't expect that the disaster would start at nightfall.At that time, Lian Deng had just finished changing the medicine and was about to go to bed, when he suddenly heard voices outside.The flames on the peach blossom paper were soaring into the sky, as if a large army was attacking at the moment of the battle, and the momentum was shocking.She opened the window to look, and saw several officials in round neck robes and foot-spreading headbands riding horses into the courtyard, followed by their entourage dressed in black and gray as guards, it was Dali Temple that had arrived.

With a terrified expression on Tan Nu's face, he approached him and asked who it was. Lian Deng turned around and took out the golden knife from under the pillow, pinned it to his waist, and said in a low voice: "Today we must have a battle. We can't be born in the same year and the same month, just the same year Die in the same month!"

Tan Nu didn't ask any more questions, presumably someone leaked the news, Dali Temple investigated for a few days, and finally found them.Fortunately, she went to Prince Qi's mansion, and King Qi will always protect her.It's not too bad if one of the three survives.

She took out the horizontal knife from the package and held it in her hand, said with a smile: "If you don't exercise your muscles and bones for too long, you will get rusty. Kill yourself today, even if you die, you will be worthy of my knife." Pull out the scabbard, this knife really walked through a bloody storm, and it buzzes long and loud when it comes to this kind of time.

Lian Deng smiled, but she didn't have any regrets in her heart, one day she will definitely not let Li Xingjian go if she turns around, and she will never be able to avenge her revenge.It's a pity that I can't take the national teacher back to Dunhuang, but it doesn't matter, the national teacher can live for a long time, and it's the same when she comes to him after reincarnation.

She tightened her belt and opened the door to go out. The officials of Dali Temple raised the document and said loudly: "I was ordered to arrest the female thief who attacked the Zhongcheng Mansion at night. You will be arrested without a fight. If you resist, you will be punished on the spot!"

Lian Deng looked around, Dong Guan was not there, not even a servant in his mansion was seen.That's fine, just treat them as having seized his mansion and have nothing to do with him.After all, the national teacher is the god of Dali. Even if Dali Temple finds out that they have a private relationship, they will not drag him into the muddy water for a Yushi Zhongcheng.As for them, falling into the hands of those cruel officials will not have good results, her crimes are enough to deserve her life.As for Tan Nu, the deserters under King Ding's account, even if they are captured, they will die.It's better to risk your life to fight, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

She drew her saber across her chest, and raised her chin at the yamen servants, "Here is life, you can take it as you please if you have the ability. If you don't have the ability, you can blame us for disobeying the law."

The torch illuminates the two slightly childish faces. The two young girls are back to back, holding knives in their hands, and the eyes are full of wind and thunder.Probably those well-tested officials have never encountered such a situation. Why would they resist with such determination at an age when they should be embroidering in the boudoir or pestering A Niang to act like a baby.He was stunned for a moment, watching their swords facing each other, but when he regained his strength, there was only right and wrong, no distinction between men and women.

The leading official shouted "Take it down", and the guards behind him rushed up like wolves, and Lian Deng was also ready for a bloody battle.In normal times, she would still be able to deal with these dozens of rabble, but now that she is injured, the gash on her back burst open at a stroke of luck, causing heart-piercing pain.She couldn't care less, and gritted her teeth to fight, when suddenly she heard the sound of a flute, melodious and melodious, radiating a sad and treacherous power in the dark night.

The sound of the flute pierced through the air, forming a formation above Bieye, the air flow was like ripples, gradually rotating, and finally turned into a vortex, getting bigger and deeper, almost sucking people in.

The people in Dali Temple were terrified, they had forgotten everything else, and crouched on the ground with their heads in their arms.The origin of the sound of the flute became clear, and a person appeared out of thin air on the wide eaves, dressed in white and jade crown, and had an earth-shattering aura as soon as he appeared, no doubt the teacher of the country.

Lian Deng burst into ecstasy, but for some reason, her heart was up and down, he shouldn't appear at this time, she was worried that she couldn't get rid of him, why did he come so bluntly!

Tan Nu was astonished, "Is that the national teacher? He came to save us!"

The lotus lamp frowned, and the sound of the flute continued, gradually gaining a soul-shattering power.The Chancellor of Dali Temple covered his ears with one hand and resisted with the other, "National teacher... I am under orders..."

It doesn't matter to him whether he obeys orders or not. The formation in mid-air is pressed down like a fence, like a tower, and it will make people unable to turn over forever.The lotus lamp was so shocked that he didn't dare to breathe out. If it goes on like this, something bad will happen. The torches scattered on the ground illuminate those distorted facial features and blood spots. Is he trying to deaf them?

Tan Nu kept touching his ears, maybe the national teacher set up an enchantment between them and the people in Dali Temple, and there are two completely different feelings between them.Zheng Nahan, when he heard Lian Deng yelling and saying no, he really listened to her, he stopped, jumped down, and led them out of Dongguan Bieye swaggeringly.

As for those crooked officials, it seems that he should not care about them.There was a carriage parked outside the gate of the mansion, and he sent Lian Deng and Tan Nu to board it, while he was driving outside.Tan Nu was very confused about what to do next, and murmured: "What should we do now? I'm afraid this time there will be a lot of trouble, and it will also affect the Taishang Shrine."

Lian Deng's heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't calm down. He opened the curtain to watch, and felt that the national teacher was a little weird today, and he didn't know what his plan was.

He took them to a manor, a very unique and quiet place in the north of Shenheyuan.They entered with him, and the smell from the corner of his clothes was vaguely familiar.She looked at him as she walked, and asked him cautiously, "Today's matter, the national teacher will come forward in person, and those people in Dali Temple will definitely report to him. When the time comes, the holy majesty will punish him, how should the national teacher deal with it?"

He turned back and smiled at her, "I will save you, regardless of your future."

She was suffocated, she didn't feel happy, she only saw the abyss in front of her, and she took him down step by step.

The nephew came to lead Tanu to the bedroom to resettle. The national teacher sat under the lamp with his sleeves tucked up, his eyelashes lowered, unable to see what he was thinking.Lian Deng was very anxious, "You will ruin the foundation if you do this, why do you show up at this time? You shouldn't do this."

He raised his eyes to look at her, "How many people in Dali do you think can make good use of formations? Regardless of whether I show up or not, the people in Dali Temple will know. When the matter is at a critical juncture, I don't care so much. If I don't come to rescue you, Did you just watch you being captured by them?"

What he said was reasonable, and he was indeed thinking of her, but there was always something that didn't make sense.Lian Deng looked at him, it was a familiar face and voice, but why did it always feel unreal?
She sat down and stroked her hot forehead, "What should I do now? How will the national teacher explain to you?"

He was silent for a long time, then turned to look at her, with a teasing tone in his tone, "Didn't you always want to take me to Dunhuang, now that I have made up my mind for myself, why are you unhappy?"

Lian Deng looked at him in surprise, she wanted to take him back to Dunhuang, but she never thought of ruining his reputation.She hoped that he could still be high in the clouds when he came back in a few years, so that even if he left, he would have no worries.But the situation is getting out of hand now, ruining his century-old practice, which is completely unexpected by her.

He was probably impulsive too. After sitting for a while, he seemed to come to his senses. He sighed and said, "I want to save you all I want, so I can only bear the name of the seat. If it were someone else, Dali Temple would not pay any attention."

He said that sitting on the seat is an honorary title, and only the disciples of the shrine would call the national teacher that way.With a drum in her heart, she suddenly stood up and asked, "Who are you?"

His arm rested on the table, his wide sleeves hung down, the sleeves were entwined with fine silk threads, and the silver light danced under the lamp.Hearing what she said, he straightened up and walked over, bowed slightly, and put his face in front of her eyes, "Look carefully, you have seen me before."

Lian Deng took a step back in fright, and suddenly remembered that the person who entered her dream had such a cold aura and a terrifying tone of voice.So he is not a national teacher, he is a fake!

"Are you afraid?" He looked a little disappointed, "It's a good thing we are so familiar." He lowered his head and touched the back of his head, covered his sleeves, and pulled out a few silver needles.

She stared dumbfounded, seeing the strange changes in his facial features, from eyebrows to lips, as if the ice and snow on the stone had melted, finally revealing his true nature.She sat down in panic, almost unable to believe it, "Why are you?"

Fangzhou shrugged his shoulders, and arranged the silver needles on the table one by one, "It was me in the first place, the teachers and students of the country are generous, and it depends on your mood if you can't get out of the shrine. Sometimes even the winter solstice ceremony is presided over by me in disguise." Actually, he and I are like the yin and yang on the Taiji diagram. They are always inseparable. Just now when I went to see you in Bieye, I happened to meet someone from Dali Temple. Great disaster. I will go to see the national teacher after a while, and one person will be responsible for the work. If the national teacher blames me, at worst, I will be tied up and sent to Dali Temple, so that the national teacher can be exempted from responsibility, and you can also get away, killing two birds with one stone."

When he said it, he was still smiling, as if he had really done some profitable business.Lian Deng was almost knocked down by him, and said with a low voice: "You are crazy, why did you come up with such an idea! I don't take life and death seriously, and I don't need you to sacrifice for me. You are doing this to add to me. Debt, I don't want to owe others."

He swept his sleeves and said: "I'm not going to save everyone. I told you that we have a marriage contract. Do you believe me now? Even though I'm not young, I still act impulsively sometimes. This time it might take my little one to death." I lost my life, remember to burn incense for me in the next year's Qingming Festival, and I will be satisfied."

What the hell is going on!What kind of marriage contract is not a marriage contract? That's another story. Right now, she is only worried about whether the national teacher will really want his life.

He turned and went out, and she hurriedly chased after him, "I'll go with you."

He lowered his head and glanced at her, "What? Are you worried that the national teacher will kill me? It seems that although you have moved on, you are not completely ruthless to me."

Lian Deng was not in such a good mood as he was talking and joking, so he sat in the car with a straight face and headed all the way to Shenheyuan.There was silence for a long time, and it took a long time before I heard him muttering: "Tomorrow is the vernal equinox, there will be a temple sacrifice..."

Lian Deng looked at him suspiciously. He knew she didn't understand, so he explained with the corners of his mouth lowered, "Even if today's incident is reported to the Daming Palace, His Majesty will not get angry before the ceremony. After the ceremony is over, it will be hard to say, maybe there will be a crime, I will be imprisoned... the national teacher is golden and precious, and I can't be wronged. It doesn't matter to me, I'll go." As he spoke, his voice gradually dropped, and he murmured like a raving, "If the national teacher is willing to give me a chance, what can I do? If there is any change, I will go to see His Majesty directly. I will pretend to be the national teacher in front of him, so that the national teacher can be innocent."

Lian Deng was so worried that her heart ached, Fang Zhou did nothing to repay her, and the national teacher, she owed him even more this time.

When she returned to the shrine, the national teacher was still meditating, so she waited outside the quiet room with Fang Zhou, and told him the ins and outs of the matter when he came out, but every time she said a word, the national teacher's face became ugly, and in the end it was obvious Furious, he suddenly grabbed Fangzhou's neck and lifted him up halfway.

"You make up your own mind, who gave you the courage!"

Lian Deng has never seen him get so angry. Although he has always been awkward, it is his petty temper, which is completely harmless.But this time it was different, all his anger was vented on Fang Zhou, almost strangling him out of breath.

Naturally, Fang Zhou didn't dare to resist, even if he was strangled to death, he would accept his fate, but Lian Deng couldn't just sit and watch, she begged from the side, "National Teacher, don't kill Chun Guan, he is here to save me."

He turned his head and stared at her, "To save you? What kind of method can't be thought of, but to set yourself on fire? I usually rely on my connivance to run amok, but now I'm fine, I know I'm afraid after poking such a big mess, and I'm going to apologize to you coming!"

Seeing that Fangzhou's expression changed, Lian Deng was afraid that he would really die if he went on like this, so he knelt down and hugged the national teacher's leg and said: "Anyway, let's put down Chunguan first, and we will think of countermeasures. If he dies, The words will never be clear."

The national teacher was also angry, and after thinking about it again, she made sense, the instigator is not worth anything if he is dead, how can he excuse himself from getting involved?It's just that he hates so much in his heart that the fame of his life has been ruined in his hands, and he really even tore his heart.

He let go of his hand and slammed him to the ground.Fang Zhou narrowly escaped death, supported his body and gasped eagerly, the national teacher flicked his sleeves and said: "I want to listen to your plan, if you can't tell why, follow me into the palace tomorrow morning, and apologize to His Majesty face to face."

Fang Zhou covered his neck and said: "I'm not afraid of asking for sin, but I'm afraid that Lian Deng's crime will be investigated. Please bet your luck with me, if your Majesty puts the matter down in consideration of the overall situation, then it is considered that your life is not worth dying. If If you want to pursue it, you can't escape these two days. Tomorrow's temple sacrifice, please sit in the car and wait in the car. In case of accident, the subordinate will immediately go to the palace and confess, and will never shirk."

After all, I have been with my confidant for so long, and I can forgive him for doing something wrong occasionally!Seeing that the national teacher's mood gradually stabilized, Lian Deng guessed that he thought this proposal was feasible.She also has plans, if the accident is too serious to be turned around, she might as well just take people away without doing anything.

The next day, the vernal equinox.

People in Dali like spring, and after a dreary and depressing winter, they are eager for new vitality.When the weather gets warmer, put on a thin shirt and go out. There is prosperity everywhere, especially for those who are sick in bed. If winter means disaster, then spring means hope.

The rulers of the dynasty have survived the winter and must celebrate another new birth, so this year's Spring Festival will be as grand as possible.The Temple Sacrifice is the grandest link in a series of blessing activities, which is presided over by the national teacher himself every year.Of course, the national teacher's face was revealed, whether it was "in person" or not, it is really difficult to judge.However, people were allowed to watch the temple sacrifice, so Lian Deng and Tan Nu disguised themselves, rubbed a thick lead powder on their faces and lit their faces as they turned around, and after cleaning up, let alone Dali Temple, they didn’t even recognize themselves. own up.

Fortunately, the temple was built outside the city of Chang'an, so at least there was no need to pass through the pass and be interrogated.So he put on brocade clothes and a veiled hat, and sneaked into the outing crowd.

The weather in March is when the greenery is blooming, and the petals of willows are all over the ground. If you were born in an ordinary family, you might enjoy the festival like those girls around you!Lian Deng held Tan Nu's arm, looked up at Xiao Xiao's sky, today's weather is very good, there is not a trace of cloud.The bluestone road is winding, and if you look along the trend, you can see the corners and cornices of the temple from a distance.The architecture of Dali advocates the beauty of simplicity. The roof of the temple does not use glaze, and the black corrugated tiles among the green mountains and green waters are thick ink brushstrokes, which have its unique dignity and solemnity.

The grand ceremony was held in Sizheng, and it was just after the hour, so there was still a period of time to spare.They were very vigilant at first, and they had to pay close attention to their surroundings.But after all, she is a young girl, the atmosphere is so exaggerated that her heart softens, she relaxes, and she is willing to take a look at the appearance of all living beings.

Lian Deng bought two fans with bright sun and peach blossoms painted on them. It is not the exquisite brushwork and color used by calligraphers and painters, but probably the masterpiece of the merchant himself. The style is childish and straightforward, but the colors are used very gratifyingly.The veil on the veiled hat blocked the view, so the hat curtain was lifted and hooked on both sides, and the fan was used to cover the face, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.The two looked at each other and laughed, and had simple happiness.

Several children ran over pulling the fish-shaped streamers, the wind poured in from the mouth of the fish, and the round fish body was arranged, and the lotus lantern looked very fresh.

"Actually, there is something lovely about Chang'an." She said lazily, "I was so focused on accomplishing my goal that I neglected many things. For example, the scenery today and the fireworks on New Year's Eve will never be forgotten in my life."

Tan Nu hummed, "Stay in the future and recall slowly."

Ever since she was poisoned, Tan Nu always seemed very lonely. Lian Deng noticed it and turned her head to look at her, "Do you miss General Xiao?"

She lowered her eyelashes, and shook her head after a while, "Why do you want him? We are not the same way, so it's useless to think about it."

There were too many mistakes. If she was in good health, Li Xingjian would have been killed by them long ago.If Dali Temple hadn't been provoked, she and Xiao Chao could still talk about the future.It's a pity that assumptions are assumptions after all, they are court officials, and they are "female thieves" of unknown origin, and there will never be any intersection.In fact, whether you like it or not is the second. The most terrible thing is to be underestimated. If the person you care about looks down on you, it will definitely hurt more than if he doesn't like you.Tan Nu is the only one among the three who stays awake all the time. She is keen and sensitive. It is better not to be emotional than to get hurt.

"He met me that day and asked me about your situation. I think he cares about you very much." Lian Deng gave her a sad look, "If we leave Chang'an, do you want to say goodbye to him?"

She still shook her head, "Anyway, we won't meet again, and saying goodbye is unnecessary." She didn't want to talk about her relationship anymore, and tiptoed over the crowd to look around, "Let's go there earlier and find out how they arrange it first."

The two walked through the crowd holding hands. When they reached the sky street outside the temple, there were not many people there. They only saw a few gangsters and servants busy arranging things. They didn't see the national teacher, nor did they see half of the royal family. .

Lian Deng looked around, and the imperial army would arrive in a while, she felt uneasy, wondering if Chun Guan could escape today.Just as he was hesitating, he saw a Chinese chariot coming slowly from the other end of the imperial road, surrounded by Lingtai Lang guarding the chariot, and putting the boat hand law enforcement device in front to lead the way. Seeing her, there was no expression on her face, even her eyes were cold .

Tan Nu gently tugged at her, motioning her to hide aside.So I stood in the corner and watched, watching the national teacher come out of the car, dressed in good clothes, with a proud expression on his face.Pressing down on the tassels hanging from the crown with one hand, she walked into the hall.

Lian Deng let out a long sigh of relief. At present, everything seems to be as usual, and I hope there will be no changes in the future.Gradually the number of people increased, and seeing the emperor Lubo approaching from a distance, the Jinwu guards who went ahead immediately blocked the altar and the Tianjie, and the common people had to walk thirty steps away to watch the ceremony.

The state teacher's chariot entered the side hall and then withdrew, because to clean up the temple, irrelevant things had to be sent to the periphery, and there was a special place for the cars of the royal family.Lian Deng knew that the national teacher was in the chariot, and the presiding officer inside had been replaced by Chunguan.She sneaked over with Tan Nu, but before she got close, she suddenly heard the loud drumming of Shinto drums, she turned around and saw a grand battle lined up from the hall, and the grand ceremony was about to begin.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the altar, which happened to be convenient for her to act.She had discussed with Tan Nu when she came, and she went to inquire about the situation, and Tan Nu was on the side to respond.If the situation is not good, no matter which family's chariot, get up and run.

Tannu went looking for a horse, she rolled up her pomegranate skirt and tucked it around her waist, and made a big circle from the woods beside the road to the state teacher's chariot, and knocked on the expensive apron, "Is anyone there?" ?”

An annoyed voice came from inside, "Nobody."

You're being hypocritical again!She was used to his moody personality, and she didn't find it strange.Leaning to look at the temple, another national teacher stepped up to the altar with a wat board. She swallowed and said in a low voice, "It's really like it!"

The carved baffle of the Hua chariot opened a crack, revealing half of the national teacher's face from behind the curtain.Seeing her make-up, she seemed to be surprised, and was obviously taken aback.

The lotus lamp was a little embarrassed, and blocked it with a fan, "This is the makeup of the times, did it scare you? I'm sorry."

The national teacher looked at that face and felt even worse. She is not suitable for Chang'an's grotesque attire. What kind of ocher face with white background and long eyebrows, the color of black paste covers the original pretty lips. Like a ghost.

He clutched his chest, as if he couldn't bear the stimulation.Lian Deng was a little sad, she put a lot of effort into dressing up, he didn't say it was good-looking, it shouldn't be this kind of attitude.But let's not worry about these for the time being, the most important thing now is to pay attention to the boat on the altar.

She frowned and muttered: "Chunguan will not be able to bear the pain after such a long time of disguise? Will his face become crooked?"

"He has medicine to resist, so there will be no problems." The national teacher squinted his eyes and murmured to himself, "I seem to have made a mistake. Today's Spring Festival should not be presided over by him. Even if the palace If you want to punish him, I will just escort him to accept the crime, why bother?"

Sometimes this is the case, because anger and personal feelings will affect a series of judgments at that time.The national teacher is a person who has no plans, but he will feel annoyed.The more annoyed I am, the more I have a strange premonition, but the premonition is not always accurate, so I take it easy for myself and gradually feel at ease.

The temple was some distance away from them, so they could only roughly see the movements, but couldn't hear the prayers.At first everything was fine, suddenly seeing the people on the stage holding Ruyi and pointing at them, the national teacher's heart sank, guessing that there must be something wrong there.Forget it, there is no room for redemption for what happened yesterday, the Holy Majesty is going to punish, everyone has their own luck, just resign themselves to fate.

He tucked up his wide sleeves and walked out, only waiting for Niuzi and Lingtai Lang to meet him.Still regretting in my heart, today's ceremony was not successfully concluded, and the imperial power was doomed to be turbulent.It is indeed time to replace the brains of this huge empire. Today is too old, the old people are not competent, the world is still the world of young people after all.

There was a gap in the crowd on Tianjie, and the two groups of people poured out of the gap continuously, and the lotus lantern shrank back. She should not be present at such a time.She moved back slowly, keeping her eyes on the men.It's strange that the disciples of the Shrine have always been well-trained, but those who came running were chaotic and ran chaotically.She vaguely felt something was wrong.If you look closely, it's not a scorpion, but a Jin Wuwei in silver armor.

She hurriedly raised her head, and the national teacher's expression became unnatural. He frowned tightly and waited and watched. The running crowd moved here quickly without making a sound.But getting closer, they drew out the horizontal knife, and the blade reflected a cold light.The national teacher scolded Gu Niang, "What a boat, I really rely on my beloved general!"

Lian Deng didn't know the meaning of his words, but he could see the group of people rushing out in a menacing manner, definitely not in the gesture of inviting the national teacher.

The Jinwu Guards are the emperor's personal army, and all of them are well-trained.They are different from the yamen servants of Dali Temple, regardless of the difference in strength, the meanings behind them are also quite different.How can we mobilize the Jinwu Guard?Nothing can be done except to kill the rebellious party.

She took two steps back, and the national teacher seemed to have no intention of avoiding it.But in the current situation, apart from retreating, he is fighting. With his ability, he may not be able to deal with these Jinwu guards, but what about afterward? "National Master" is still standing high on the altar, but he really has become a counterfeit.

Therefore, the purpose of releasing the boat has been achieved, and it has been brewing for a long time, and it is planned to replace it.It's no wonder that many things were drawn to him, and in the end their identities were switched, and it was Chunguan who did the evil, but he became a national teacher.

Lian Deng faintly understands that power is a fine wine, and if you drink too much, you will become addicted.The national teacher has fostered an ambitious subordinate, and Chunguan is no longer satisfied with his current position, he wants to become a national teacher.Then the real national teachers must be dealt with, so these Jinwu guards with horizontal knives appeared.

Want to reason with them?They were ordered by the "National Teacher" and will not give you a chance to confront.When you arrive, you will start killing, because there are treacherous rebels hidden here.Lian Deng was very anxious, grabbed him and said: "A good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses, he should avoid it first and then plan later."

The Jinwu Guards were about to arrive soon, there was a horse neighing not far away, and Tan Nu was driving a light flat-topped cart, driving towards them like the wind.When he got closer and shouted loudly, the lotus lantern was half dragged and half dragged, and the national teacher was pulled into the carriage.

The national teacher looked at everything going away in dismay, and still couldn't accept it, "This seat is stiffed by Li Daitao like this?"

Lian Deng sighed, "It looks like it is."

Violence floated in his eyes, "It's a good move, I really underestimated him before." He said loudly, "I want to enter the palace to face the saint, go to Suzaku Avenue!"

But he underestimated the ability to release the boat, and the security inside and outside the imperial city was ten times stricter than usual.So what Fangzhou did today was not a personal act, but a larger force behind it.Some people want to eradicate this founding national teacher who has been entrenched on the head of the Dali royal family for more than a hundred years, but they just use a mere boat to launch troubles.The mastermind behind the scenes may be the princes, what's more, it may be the current emperor.

Being chased and running around, such a situation is like a joke to the national teacher.The sky has changed, dark clouds follow the moon.The wind blows his sleeves, and he stands in a deserted wilderness, full of desolation.

"Back then, I repelled an army of [-] with my own power and helped Emperor Taizu to stabilize the Dali. I didn't expect to be tricked by his descendants more than a hundred years later." He looked up at the sky and muttered, unable to think. Its solution, "It's just that I built a Supreme God Palace for me, and I don't eat or drink much from his Cao family, so I can't wait to deal with me? Sure enough... the emperor's family is the most ruthless."

Lian Deng sat on the grass, put her cheeks together and said, "Perhaps your majesty thinks that the national teacher only eats and doesn't work! You can do what you can do as a spring official, and as a national teacher, you can still obey the holy will in everything. Comparing the two aspects, Your Majesty feels that there is no need to support a grandpa like the national teacher anymore, so he decided to let go of the old and bring in the new."

The national teacher was very irritated by her, he lowered his head and asked her, "I have become a dog of bereavement now, even you are here to add insult to injury?"

Lian Deng hurriedly jumped up and said that he didn't dare, "The national teacher will always be the bright moon in my heart. Even if Dali doesn't want you, I want you. Come with me to Dunhuang, let's go to Apu. In fact, there is nothing good in Chang'an , that is, there are more people, and there will be heavy snow in winter. If you are used to life in the desert, you will feel that it is much better than the Central Plains, I won’t lie to you.”

She is an honest person, and the phrase "Dali doesn't want you, I want you" made the national teacher's heart gradually warm up.He said disappointedly: "Fortunately, I still have you. Nothing is reliable, only medicine is the most reliable." He turned his head to look in the direction of the Supreme Shrine, and said reluctantly, "This seat is not a love store. It’s no big deal not to be a national teacher. I’m worried about Nine Colors, it’s still in the shrine, and its temper is so weird, what if it’s bullied by other deer without anyone’s backing? What if it grows up, what if it’s slaughtered and bled? "

Lian Deng didn't know what to say, the national teacher was taken away, and he didn't see how sad and indignant he was.She thought he would at least yell and want the whole of Chang'an or the Cao dynasty to be buried with him.In the end, he didn't, so he was sad and melancholy for a while, probably only such truly capable people don't care about gains and losses!
Lian Deng said: "I'm afraid the shrine can't be entered now. If you want to get Jiu Se out, you have to ask Mrs. Cuiwei."

The national teacher stroked his face, "Don't throw yourself into a trap."

"The master of the country did it." She raised her arms and drew a big circle, "Build a gate here, and the Linlang Realm is on the other side of the gate. I'll go in and get Nine Colors out."

The national teacher's expression was dull, and he paused for a while and said: "The Jinwu guards are presumptuous, I originally planned to set up an array to wipe them all out, but..." He looked at his hands mournfully, with an expression of disbelief, "I suddenly It was found that the power was lost.”

Lian Deng took a deep breath, what does this mean?Has he become a cripple?
"Then what should I do?" She tremblingly said, "Have your skills been sucked? Or have you been poisoned to seal the eight meridians?" After thinking about it, those are not important, the important thing is him. .She stared at him carefully for a long time, the moonlight was hazy and she couldn't see clearly, what frightened her was tomorrow morning, what if she opened her eyes and found that he was pale and chicken-skinned?She gritted her teeth in hatred, "Fang Zhou, how could he treat you like this! I'll kill him and avenge the national teacher!"

She turned around and left, and was hugged by Tan Nu, "Are you crazy? What's the point now? You're not going to seek revenge on him, you're going to die! Since he dared to plot against the national teacher, we are like ants, How is it his opponent?"

Lian Deng didn't know why he was more wronged than the national teacher, rolled up his sleeves and wiped his tears and said: "The national teacher has lost all his skills, if he can't maintain his youth, what will happen to him in the end, do you know!"

So she is afraid that a 180-year-old person will be too old to clean up like mud.The national teacher was very unhappy, and said with a flick of his sleeve: "In 50 years, I will still be like this, you don't need to worry. As for the power, it can't be recovered for the time being. With my accumulation, it will rise back within a month. Deal with it." Ten boats are more than enough."

It seems consoling to say that, wealth and status are not important, as long as he is still him, there will be a day when he will not turn around.

"But what should we do now? The twelve guards are hunting us everywhere, let alone a month, even three days." Lian Deng looked at him cautiously, secretly calling God to help me, but she showed a very regretful expression on her face , "It seems that you can only go to Dunhuang with me. Don't be afraid that no one will take care of you. I will take care of you. You don't have to do anything. You will take care of your health. When your skills recover, you will have revenge. You are happy, next year we will enter the palace and kill the old emperor, and let you be the emperor, okay?"

Tan Nu rolled his eyes, and sure enough, after staying together for a long time, his thinking became very close.She just wanted to kill Princess Qi to make her rise to power, but Lian Deng actually planned to kill the emperor to change the dynasty, and she lost her appetite.

Of course the national teacher didn't agree, not because he didn't agree to be emperor, but because he didn't agree to go to Dunhuang.He felt that Fang Zhou couldn't be so easy and cheap, he should find a place to hide, wait until he recovered his skills and return to the shrine to slaughter Fang Zhou, and then change his identity back quietly.Anyway, Fang Zhou is still holding his face as a national teacher. When the time comes, who is real and who is fake, the royal family in Dali will be as confused as the people in the world.

But the hiding place is hard to find, the national teacher is usually too comfortable, except for his bedroom and the nine-storied pagoda, he basically doesn't go to other places.Lian Deng was a little disappointed, "The cunning rabbit still has three caves, and the majestic national teacher doesn't even have a hiding place."

The national teacher gave her a hard look, "I am a pure and innocent person, and I have no bad intentions. Why do I have to prepare so many caves for myself?"

Lian Deng murmured, but did not dare to talk back.Although he may not be able to beat her at the moment, his power is still there.Besides, she had suffered quite a blow, no matter how angry she was with him now, she would not be willing to bear it if she died of anger.

She could only comfort him with kind words, "It doesn't matter, heroes sometimes go narrow, and on the day we make a comeback, let everyone surnamed Cao worship at the feet of the national teacher." She held up the golden wrong knife and gestured towards Chang'an Leobi said, "Old thief Li...you must wait for me to come back alive."

The national teacher glanced at her with his hands behind his back, "Li Xingjian is just an idiot, thank you for being serious and caring about him."

Now he is cold-hearted. He used to ignore things that had nothing to do with him, but now he seems to have changed a bit.Lian Deng and Tan Nu exchanged glances, this time they should be able to find out some inside information from him.She rushed forward and saw that the seams on the shoulders of his Zen clothes were a little crooked, so she flattered him flatteringly, "I always felt that there was a black hand behind the scenes, but the national teacher didn't want to point it out, and I couldn't find out the clues myself." ...National teacher, for the sake of our friendship, you might as well tell me the inside story!"

He turned his face away, and did not lower his figure at all because of his troubles, "Who has friendship with you?"

Tan Nu is very knowledgeable, she thinks that Lian Deng may need to have a deep chat with him, as outsiders will not be able to open her mouth.Simply get out of the way and let them have a good talk. If the talk goes well, you can look forward to the future. If the talk fails, you can still seduce.

She touched her nose and pointed to the distance, "I'm going to drink the horse, don't make the horse die of thirst."

Lian Deng watched her walk away, cleared her throat and said to the national teacher: "Isn't your relationship with me enough? The national teacher will be with me in the future, and you have to rely on me to protect you when you lose your skills. And ...I have seen the national teacher take a bath, such a close relationship, how can it be said that there is no friendship!"

The national teacher fell into deep thought, so it really has a lot to do with it.His brows widened, and he twitched twice on the spot: "Since that's the case, it's okay to tell you. At the beginning of my ascension to the throne, the outside of the pass was often harassed by countries in the Western Regions. The credit for Bailiji's destruction of Yumen Pass is certainly indispensable, but Another prince contributed a lot. Later, Bailiji was stationed in Anxi Duhufu, and Beiting Duhufu came under the jurisdiction of King Ding. King Ding had not set foot in the Central Plains for more than [-] years. It is equivalent to exile. When he seized the heir, King Ding was also a strong contender for the throne. Unfortunately, his luck was not good enough, but his ambition was not extinguished. A person who can quietly dormant is not necessarily accepting his fate, but may also be accumulating strength. But because of Bailiji's uprightness, King Ding was afraid, so he tried every means to get rid of the thorn in his side, so there was your unjust case against Aye." He finished speaking vividly, but he did not get the expected effect.The expression on Lian Deng's face was calm, as if he had already made up his mind.The national teacher raised his eyebrows and reiterated, "Prince Ding is your real enemy, much more difficult than Gao Yun and Li Xingjian!"

Still nowhere, Lian Deng didn't even blink his eyes, "I expected it a long time ago, and it really is."

The national teacher found that after he came out of the Supreme Shrine, all the light behind him disappeared, or he had never raised his eyebrows in front of her.He was very disappointed, "Since you know the inside story, why do you still ask me?"

"I just want to prove it." She sighed, leaning on her back to watch a red sun burst out in the east. The sun rose, but the hesitation in her heart grew stronger.King Ding, who guards the border, has [-] troops, and there are countless dead soldiers like Tan Nu, so he will be [-] times harder to kill than Li Xingjian.She looked back at the national teacher, "Wang Apu should know, but why didn't he tell me? Why did he let me go to Zhongyuan?"

The national teacher said: "It must be that Wang Lang was afraid that you would find Wang Ding to take revenge and lose your life, so he directed you to Chang'an, took some shrimp soldiers and crab generals to vent your anger, and met me by the way."

She hummed, "Why did you let me meet you?"

The national teacher showed embarrassment, "That's his scheming, don't look at this person's sanctimonious appearance, in fact, he is full of evil."

Lian Deng didn't understand what he meant, her heart was in a mess and she didn't want to ask.Li Xingjian didn't seem to be so important now, the most important thing she should look for was King Ding, so there was no reason to waste time in the Central Plains.

She turned to look at the national teacher, the golden light of the rising sun illuminated his eyebrows and eyes, his face was peaceful, without any setbacks, he was still as calm as every peaceful morning, drinking a cup of tea and eating two yuan after getting up Pastry, and then walk in the garden with your hands behind your back, and watch the sunrise with nothing to do.

She tried to persuade him, "Doesn't the national teacher feel tired when he shoulders the calendar all year round? Let Fangzhou take care of you for two years, and you take the opportunity to travel elsewhere, isn't it good?"

He thought for a while, "There's nothing wrong with it, but I'm just not happy, and I don't like being stiffed by Li Daitao."

His unhappiness and dislike were the biggest reasons, Lian Deng was a little annoyed, "Then do you want to separate from me?"

The national teacher slowly shifted his gaze and glanced at her, "What do you mean? It is agreed that you will take care of my food and daily life. It has not been three cold winters and four summers, and you plan to take off your shoulders?"

She lowered her head and rubbed her toes, and she made a small pit in the mud, "I want to go back to Dunhuang, you go with me."

He said no, "I still have to deal with Fang Zhou."

Although it is very important to teach the boat a lesson, at this juncture, it is hard to guarantee that someone will not set a long fishing line to wait for him to take the bait.She felt that she could take a break, not entirely out of selfishness, she was also thinking of him.But he couldn't listen to it at all, and he didn't seem to be eager for revenge. Instead, he had a hint of joking, as if he was eager to try.

She didn't want to hit him at first, but she felt that it was uncomfortable not to say anything, so she dragged her long voice and said in a strange tone: "Last night, I stayed in the open air all night, and I was not embarrassed enough. I plan to be like this every day."

The national teacher tucked his hands and looked extremely contemptuous, "Is this seat short of your food and drink?" He turned around, didn't explain where he was going, and left on his own.

Lian Deng was a little flustered, and hurriedly called out: "Where is the national teacher going?"

He waved his hand, "You wait here." As he said, he pretended to go far away.

When Tan Nu came back and asked about the result, Lian Deng was afraid of her embarrassment, so he hesitated to say the word Ding Wang, "If I become an enemy of your old master, will it hurt your heart?"

Tan Nu laughed twice, "Why is the old master not the old master? We people, like the servants and Dr. Jiu, go through life and death just to make ends meet, and we can't talk about feelings. I'm an orphan, five years old When I entered the Salesian Bureau that year, you may not be able to imagine how much hardship I have suffered. At the beginning, there were [-] people selected together, but in the end there were only three people left, and most of the survivors were half-human and half-ghost. Have you ever seen The sword wounds all over my body, how many times I crawled back from the palace of the king of hell, King Ding has no kindness to me, on the contrary, I hate him to the bone."

Lian Deng felt relieved, and hesitated again: "Since Prince Ding is involved in my Aye's grievances, you have been under his tent for many years, have you not heard any news?"

Tan Nu shook his head and said no, "Such an important matter, we will not easily let us know. Besides, it was Wendou who eradicated Baili Duhu, and no dead soldiers were used to assassinate him, so I didn't know about it at all."

She nodded sadly, stood quietly for a while, looked towards the direction where the national teacher left, and muttered in a low voice: "It won't be gone forever!"

Fortunately not, he came back after two hours, carrying a cloth bag in his hand.Walking up to her and throwing it away, the silver ingots and gold leaves inside were scattered all over the place.He raised his chin, "I don't have the ability to be cunning, but my methods are more direct and effective."

It is true that a comeback requires capital. Looking at this bag of things, it can be converted into copper coins, at least [-] guan.Lian Deng seemed to suddenly understand the court's determination to deal with him, maybe it was because he was a big greedy one.

Although having money has confidence, it is still a problem to have nowhere to stay.They are not in the city now, and going northwest is the best choice.When I first came to Chang'an from Dunhuang, I didn't pass through. I relied on stealing customs all the way. The accumulated experience can be reused on the return trip. I am absolutely familiar with it.

In this way, the only thing left is to fascinate the national teacher. Lian Deng touched his purse, and the Mongolian and Chinese medicines were always prepared for him.The national teacher is no different from ordinary people now, so it shouldn't be difficult to solve it.Although he is usually picky and stingy, in fact, he is simple in heart, maybe there is no one in this world who is more optimistic than him.For example, Fang Zhou, she used to trust him very much, he always said that he had a marriage contract with her, but she still believed him a little bit.But in the end he became like that, he could no longer be friends, and was an enemy all his life.

She had never been betrayed, this was the first time, and she felt very sad.The only thing to be thankful for is that the national teacher is still the original national teacher, as bright as the morning sun, and has never disappointed her.So the more you cherish it, the more you must hold it tightly.When the personal feud between her and King Ding is settled, and the turmoil between the true and false national teachers gradually subsides, it will not be too late for him to settle accounts with Fang Zhou.

It's just that this kind of life without a roof tile has suffered for the national teacher. He has enjoyed rich clothes and fine food for more than 100 years, and suddenly fell into trouble. I don't know if he can bear it.

The shiny iron pieces in Lian Deng's pocket finally came in handy, and he used them to hunt down two wild rabbits and roast them over a fire.In order to facilitate things, Tan Nu went to a farmhouse and got a crock pot and came back, cooked a pot of wild vegetable soup, and put the whole pack of Mongolian and Chinese medicines in it.Anyway, it's a desperate attempt this time, if it doesn't work out, then you may have to follow him into the city.He has been ignoring mundane affairs for too long, and I don't know how many of the five-featured Lingtai Lang are his confidantes. If he makes a wrong step, the delicate skin and tender flesh of the national teacher's neck will not be able to withstand the knife and axe.

"If King Ding has the determination to usurp the throne, he should keep watching what's going on in the Central Plains." She tore off a large piece of meat and handed it to the national teacher, rambling on and on to distract him, "Do you think he would think it was Baili? Ji's daughter seeks revenge on them?"

The national teacher bit off a long strip of rabbit meat, chewed it slowly, and said casually: "Not necessarily, after all, he was responsible for the execution of Bailiji, and he will confirm again and again that you will not be allowed to A chance to come back from the dead."

But people are not as good as God, so she survived by luck.Lian Deng nodded, "That's the best, you can enter Suiye City first, anyway, I can afford to wait, even if I sneak into the palace to be a maid under the stove, I can always get a chance to do it." The rough pottery bowl that came, cooled the soup carefully, and served it in front of the national teacher courteously, said with a smile, "The bacon is very dry, please drink some soup, the national teacher! I will set up a small tent with Tanu later , we sleep outside, and the national teacher sleeps in the car."

At this point, he is no longer picky. The national teacher took the wild vegetable soup and drank it down. After drinking it, he smacked the taste and frowned.Not long after shaking, Lian Deng happily opened his arms, he took a long look at her, and fell into her arms.

It's embarrassing to hold a gentleman, but it definitely doesn't affect my good mood.The two girls jumped for joy and tried their best to move them into the car. They didn't know how long the medicine would last, so they didn't dare to delay and drove towards Lingzhou overnight.

Tan Nu was driving, and the lotus lamp was sitting beside her, looking back from time to time, the national teacher was completely silent, and everything was developing in the direction they expected.It's just very strange. It stands to reason that Fang Zhou wouldn't let them go so easily, leaving the root cause of the disease to wait for future attacks?If he wanted to completely replace the national teacher, of course he would kill him once and for all, so neither the Jinwu Guard nor the disciples of the Shrine would be so quiet.Now it seems that they deliberately let them go, there must be some inside story that they don't know.

Both of them are not deeply involved in the world, doubts are doubts, and they are still focused on rushing out.Lian Deng was even afraid that the national teacher would wake up halfway, so he gave him another round of medicine on the way.

Tan Nu said: "Don't use such a heavy dose, what if it's too ruthless to poison people to fools? Are you going to catch a fool to be Mrs. Yazhai?"

Lian Deng sighed and wrapped up the medicine, but had to tie it up if it didn't work, and waited until he left the capital, even if he clamored to come back.

Although the road ahead is bleak, but I am really happy to pick up a national teacher and go home.But Mingsha Mountain can't go there for the time being, Fangzhou knows they have nowhere to go, maybe he is waiting for them there.Lian Deng decided to settle in Zhangye. The place is too big and it is easy to hide, so let's raise the national teacher well first.

However, although the idea is good, it is still too naive in the end.After driving all night, we arrived at Chen Taoxie in the morning, and the horses and chariots gradually approached the pass, only to see that the tall wooden fence was full of garrison troops standing in darkness.There are 26 passes in the middle of the pass, and the ones around Gyeonggi are only Shangguan, and the rest are Zhongguan and Xiaguan.When they came, the gate control was not so strict, and they could pass by indiscriminately.It is different now, after all, Fang Zhou is a meticulous person, knowing that as long as the middle pass is set up, they will be unable to escape.

Tan Nu turned his head and took a look at Lian Deng. He might not be able to force his way in, so he had no choice but to stop.Originally wanted to retreat to find another way out, but unexpectedly, just in time for the handover of the garrison army, the captain led the troops to follow behind their car, and now even the way back was cut off.

Lian Deng tensed up, looking at the national teacher, he was lying on his side, sleeping soundly.She tore off a piece of veil and covered him with a hood. At this time, it seemed that she could only bite the bullet and try her luck. Maybe those soldiers fell asleep and forgot their names.As long as the luck is normal, if you take out the money, you may end up in jail.

Tan Nu said in a low voice: "I firmly insist that I will meet relatives when I leave the customs. What about the gold and silver of the national teacher? Take one or two and secretly give them to the interrogators."

So it's better to simply lie that there is nothing wrong with it, and even if it needs to be reissued, it is better than putting it on the gun.Lian Deng nodded in agreement, jumped off the carriage and went to lead the battle first.After all, I was nervous, so I didn't need to pretend to be calm, I just cringed and stepped forward, bowed solemnly and said: "Your servant is here, this slave wants to go out to visit relatives."

The imperial guard at the gate glanced at her, and said nothing else, simply threw two words over, "Pass."

She muttered, "The slave went to Ningzhou, and he didn't leave the customs, what do you want to do?"

The imperial guard stared at him, and said in a vicious voice, "If you haven't done anything wrong, go to the government office to make up for it. Don't talk too much."

That's fine, I'll dodge it for a while and think of a way. I hurriedly raised my hands and said that I was going to turn back. Unexpectedly, a leading lieutenant stopped and raised his knife to point to the direction of the carriage. "Where are you coming from? Where are you going? In the carriage Who is it?"

Lian Deng was startled secretly, his mind was spinning fast, and he said perfunctorily: "The uncle in the car, who has been sick for a long time and has not recovered, is really helpless. I want to go back to my hometown to pay homage to my ancestors and pray for blessings..."

The deputy lieutenant obviously didn't need to listen to her explanation. Asking these two sentences was just a routine matter. People in the car and their luggage had to be checked. This was an order issued by the superior.Without looking at her, he walked towards the chariot and horses with the two guards.Lian Deng knew something was wrong, the appearance of the national teacher was really eye-catching, those slave soldiers didn't even need to go through the place to check, they only needed one glance to see the clue.
