Jiangbei female bandits

Chapter 42
Both Lu Xiao and Zheng Lun were extremely fast, and they had already exchanged more than a dozen moves in the blink of an eye. Zheng Lun's personal soldiers had already killed all the people in Hukouling. Looking back, they saw Zheng Lun and Lu Xiao. Xiao fought together, fearing that Zheng Lun would suffer, he threw a long knife at Zheng Lun and shouted: "General, take the knife!"

Zheng Lun made a false move, took the opportunity to catch the long knife, and stopped the scimitar that Lu Xiao swung down with a bang.Lu Xiao has been studying the sword technique these days, and his martial arts has made great progress.But Zheng Lun was taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, and now he has a long knife in his hand, and it is a reversal of the previous situation of only defending but not attacking. The knife is directed at the vital points of Lu Xiao's body.

Lu Xiao's swordsmanship is mighty and fierce, but Zheng Lun's moves are exquisite, and every move has something unexpected.The two of them both took the fast attack approach, everyone was dazzled by it for a moment, they couldn't even see their moves clearly.

Chen Nian looked at Lu Xiao and Zheng Lun for a moment, then turned his head and told Wen Daya in a low voice: "Take everyone and go quickly to find my master and the others. You go back to the village first, don't wait for me and Lu Xiao, be careful on the way." Ridge people."

Wen Daya was stunned for a moment, Cui Xi had already stepped forward and pulled him, and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"

Wen Daya saw that he also said this, although he had doubts in his heart, he endured it, and he and Cui Xi led the people in the village to the back mountain.

Zheng Lun's soldiers over there saw that they were about to run, so they wanted to step forward to stop them, but Chen Nian stepped in front of them with a knife, looked at the leader's eyes, felt familiar, and asked: "How did you go before?" Are you also following Feng Junyang?"

That person was indeed one of Feng Junyang's personal guards before, and later stayed in Qingzhou with Zheng Lun as his deputy.He knew something about Feng Junyang's relationship with Chen Nian, and when she heard her question, he lowered the long knife in his hand and respectfully called out, "Miss Xie."

Chen Nian gripped the blood-stained steel knife even tighter, and asked with a sneer, "Why, you also want to arrest me?"

The man didn't dare to answer, he just lowered his eyes not to look at Chen Nian.

Chen Nian rolled his eyes, his tone eased, and he discussed with him: "I won't go yet, you let my subordinates go, don't force me to fight with you."

The man hesitated for a moment, and replied: "This subordinate dare not make a rash decision, and I have to ask General Zheng for instructions."

Chen Nian glanced at him and said, "Okay, you go."

As she spoke, she gave Cui Xi a wink.Cui Xi saw it clearly, and immediately led his people to rush behind the mountain.The man wanted to take someone to stop him again, but the long knife in Chen Nian's hand was already in front of him, forcing him to take a step back.Chen Nian Heng Dao guarded the direction Cui Xi and the others retreated, and shouted in a cold voice: "How dare you!"

The man really didn't dare to do anything to Chen Nian, he only smiled wryly when he heard the words, and replied: "I dare not."

Chen Nian confronted him for a while, until the people in Niutou Village had gone far away, then went to see Lu Xiao and Zheng Lun.The two of them have gone through hundreds of moves. Although Zheng Lun's martial arts is slightly higher than Lu Xiao's, he is not as disregarding his life as he is. Therefore, even though Lu Xiao has been injured, he can't kill him for a while.

Chen Nian thought for a while, ignored the guards guarding her, and walked towards Lu Xiao and Zheng Lun with a knife in hand.Standing on the side and watching for a while, taking advantage of the people around him not paying attention, he swung his knife and rushed into the space between the two people who were fighting.

Zheng Lun just used a move of "turning the clouds to see the sun" to push away Lu Xiao's scimitar, and switched the long knife from his right hand to his left. He was about to stab Lu Xiao in the ribs, but he saw Chen Nian rushing in with the knife regardless, and hurriedly turned around. Raising the knife on his wrist to meet him, he said anxiously, "Thank you, miss!"

Chen Nian's sword was faster than one sword, and he didn't ask how powerful the sword was. He just suppressed Zheng Lun with the word "quick", so that he would have no chance to attack Lu Xiao again.After a while, she had forced Zheng Lun to retreat more than a dozen steps in a row, and then she slowed down her saber gesture, and asked him coldly: "Zheng Lun, what do you want? Since you let me go, why did you let me go?" Is it still like this now?"

Zheng Lun didn't expect that she would ask this question in public, and felt a little surprised for a while.Before Chen Nian annoyed him, he said in public that she was "the son of the eldest son", and now he wanted to take revenge. Seeing his reaction, he deliberately said: "That day you were able to let me go in He Ze's house, why bother now?" Do you want to press hard again?"

Although Zheng Lun is stupid in tongue, he is not stupid, otherwise he would not be the leader of Feng Junyang's personal guard, let alone serve as a general in Qingzhou.He heard Chen Nian mentioning the events of that day one after another, and he already understood that she did it on purpose.If it were someone else, Xu De would have to deny it flatly, but Zheng Lun is an upright person. The day Chennian was released privately made him feel that he had betrayed Feng Junyang. Now that Chennian mentioned that matter, he couldn't even argue. Without arguing, he just stopped his moves and stood there watching Chen Nian silently.

At this time, Chen Nian seemed to suddenly realize that there were still those soldiers present beside him, turned his head to look at them, with a look of annoyance on his face, and said to Zheng Lun: "I'm really sorry, I just slipped my mouth and said the wrong thing. .General Zheng, are they all your confidantes? Will you let me know about you letting me go?"

Why couldn't Zheng Lun see that Chen Nian was acting on purpose, he pursed his lips, looked at Chen Nian for a moment, and then suppressed his anger and said, "Miss Xie, you don't have to blackmail me with this matter."

Chen Nian looked innocent: "It's too late for me to be grateful to you, how could I blackmail you?" She then turned to greet Lu Xiao and shouted, "Lu Xiao, General Zheng is not easy to make a move, so let's take these people for him. Silence it, and save Feng Junyang from knowing that General Zheng let me go and take his anger out on him."

Zheng Lun saw that she was doing this on purpose, and his face turned livid with anger.However, Lu Xiao agreed, and actually raised his knife and slowly pressed towards those soldiers.

The soldier who spoke to Chen Nian before was Feng Junyang's personal guard, so he knew how Feng Junyang frantically searched for Chen Nian that day, but it was Zheng Lun who didn't want to let Chen Nian go.Seeing that this matter was suddenly exposed, he was not sure what Zheng Lun was thinking, and he was a little flustered for a while, he hurriedly led the crowd to raise their swords to guard, and called Zheng Lun: "General Zheng?"

Zheng Lun was furious, and in a moment of anger, he threw himself at Chen Nian.Chen Nian was terrified, his feet moved quickly, and he quickly retreated.But although she was fast, Zheng Lun was faster than her, and he was in front of her in the blink of an eye.Chen Nian subconsciously leaned up to dodge, and suddenly felt that his back was stiff, and he had hit a huge rock, and there was no way out.In the next moment, Zheng Lun had already leaned in front of her, raised his hand to lock her throat, and pinned her in front of the stone wall.

Seeing the sudden change in the situation over there, Lu Xiao hurriedly flew towards this side, but before the man arrived, the wind of the sword had already arrived.Without looking back, Zheng Lun blocked Lu Xiao's swinging scimitar with his backhand, and said coldly, "If you move again, I will crush her to death."

Lu Xiao's next knife stopped in mid-air, and he wanted to cut it off, but he was afraid that Zheng Lun would really kill Chen Nian, but if he wanted to withdraw it, he felt unwilling.

"Lu Xiao back down!" Chen Nian said suddenly.Her throat was under Zheng Lun's palm, but her face was calm, even her eyes were calm.

Lu Xiao only hesitated for a moment, then withdrew the scimitar and took a few steps back.

Zheng Lun's fingers were still locked in Chen Nian's throat, his brows were slightly frowned, and he looked at Chen Nian with an ugly expression. His heart was extremely complicated for a while, he was a little angry, a little disgusted, and also a little contemptuous and disdainful, but most of them were unclear. Emotions, like panic, like resentment, and even a little uncontrollable heart palpitations.

Chen Nian raised his face to let him look at him, but after a while, he smiled and said softly: "Zheng Lun, do you think that I will repay my kindness? You kindly let me go, but I didn't appreciate it at all. I will also expose this matter to you, so that you will lose Feng Junyang's trust."

Although Zheng Lun just pursed his lips tightly and remained silent, his expression revealed his thoughts, he really thought so.

A faint sarcasm appeared on the corner of Chen Nian's mouth, and he said again: "But why should I be grateful to you? In everything you do, is there one thing that is sincerely for me? You, He Twelve, are Shunping, you guys Among these people, who has ever really looked down on me? In your eyes, I am the vixen in the mouth of those two maids. I have no self-respect and have sex with Feng Junyang without a match. Although you call me Miss Xie in your mouth, But they all look down on me from the bottom of their hearts, even the superficial respect is not given to me, but to look at Feng Junyang's face."

The words that she had kept in her heart for a long time, those words that she didn't know who to talk to, she poured out to him sentence by sentence.

"But what did I do wrong? It's clear that I was deceived by Feng Junyang, but you all came to find me. Just because of my background, it determines that no matter what I do is wrong. If I continue to stay By his side, I am shameless and willing to be lowly. If I insist on leaving, I will become ruthless and ruthless. Some of you will speak up for Fengjun, and some will be wronged for Yunsheng. Can one of you speak for me? Have a fair word?"

Zheng Lun's eyes trembled slightly, and he suddenly remembered that she had his acupoints pinned by him that day, crying loudly in front of him, "You are all just bullying me without father or mother".

Chen Nian could hold back the tears, but couldn't stop the redness of the eye circles, and asked again: "Zheng Lun, tell me, what wrong thing have I done to make you all look at me like this? Is it because I was cheated and lost my virginity?" Should I die for him?"

Although Zheng Lun's hand did not touch her tears, it still seemed to be scalded, and he withdrew his hand quickly. After a while, he said, "I didn't mean that."

He just thought that she shouldn't show her face like this, otherwise she would be taken back by the prince, and he also thought that since she used to belong to the prince and liked him so much, even if the prince couldn't marry her, she should still guard her for him. So, I shouldn't have changed my mind, and I shouldn't be flirting with other men anymore... Zheng Lun's heart was in a mess, he was not good at words, and he didn't know how to express it at this moment.

"Then what do you mean?" Chen Nian pressed forward step by step, and asked, "Feng Junyang and I have long since broken up, and the two have nothing to do with each other. Since he can marry someone else openly, why can't I live my life openly?" day?"

Zheng Lun was dumbfounded by her questioning, and it took him a long time to reply: "Miss Xie, I hope you are well. If you act like this, the Shizi will definitely find out your whereabouts, and then he—"

"He already knew I was here!" Chen Nian interrupted Zheng Lun.

Zheng Lun was taken aback, and asked subconsciously: "My son already knew?"

Chen Nian nodded, and added: "He knew I was in the Taihang Mountains years ago, and he didn't come to arrest me again. If you don't believe me, you can ask Shunping. He was with Feng Junyang at that time. Commander Zheng, you are here have a finger in the pie."

Speaking of this, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she looked at the soldiers in the distance again, and said, "I think you are so strange. If it were He Twelve who came to meddle in this business today, I would still be fine." I understand. But what about you? Why are you meddling in this business?"

As soon as she asked, the doubts in her mind suddenly became a thread, and the thoughts that had occurred at He Ze that day suddenly resurfaced.She looked at Zheng Lun strangely, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "You are for..."

Zheng Lun was feeling guilty at the sight of her, but when he heard this sentence for no reason, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Nonsense!"

Chen Nian only thought he had guessed right, couldn't help but smiled, and said in a low voice: "Am I talking nonsense? You know it best in your heart. No wonder you disliked me from the beginning. I just didn't understand it before, but now I understand it. It's actually because of this reason. I only hope that you will hide your thoughts deeply, and don't let your son-in-law notice it."

Zheng Lun was quite annoyed by what she said, but at the moment he didn't know how to treat her.

Chen Nian wanted a beautiful and lively girl like Yun Sheng, and it was not surprising that Zheng Lun would fall in love with her, but because of his different status, he would never dare to confide his love to Yun Sheng for the rest of his life.Thinking about it this way, Chen Nian suddenly felt that Zheng Lun was also a poor person, and his hatred for him became much less in his heart, and he asked him nicely, "Commander Zheng, are you going to kill me now?"

Zheng Lun frowned, and said: "As long as you don't intend to harm me, what will I do if I kill you?"

Chen Nian smiled: "Since you don't want to kill me, and you don't want to send me to Feng Junyang to embarrass your Miss Yunsheng, then what do you want to do to me?"

Zheng Lun saw that the circles of her eyes were still slightly red, but there was a brisk smile on her face, and felt that this woman was really moody. After thinking about it, she said: "As long as you don't rob pedestrians and don't do anything, thank you, Fourth Master." , find a place to live your life well, and I will let you go."

Chen Nian thought to himself: This Feilongxing will leave soon, even if Zheng Lun doesn't come, she will take everyone back to Niutou Village to lie dormant first, "no more robbing pedestrians" can naturally be answered by him, as for what to do Don't be Fourth Master Xie... Even if you can't be Fourth Master Xie, you can still be Fifth Master Xie in the future.She has always known how to be flexible, so she smiled lightly and responded to him: "Okay, I'll just leave here."

Zheng Lun didn't want her to agree so easily, so he looked at Lu Xiao next to him, thinking that she should promise to be a woman and not be too close to Lu Xiao, but before he could speak, he felt that he was not qualified to say that, so he He pursed his lips again, looked at Chen Nian silently, and then took two steps back to get out of the way.

Chen Nian smiled at him, greeted Lu Xiao and left with her.Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao stood there without moving, and said to Zheng Lun, "Let's fight."

Zheng Lun thought that Lu Xiao was very unpleasant, and said coldly, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"If you're not afraid, just speak with a knife!" Lu Xiao replied.

The two of them didn't agree with each other, and they actually started fighting.Chen Nian looked very annoyed at the side, although he was angry with Lu Xiao, but he was afraid that Zheng Lun would hurt him, so he had to help attack Zheng Lun, but he scolded Lu Xiao, "Lu Xiao, stop!"

Lu Xiao refused to listen to her, but instead said: "Xie Chennian, get out of the way."

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Zheng Lun felt even more annoyed in his heart, turned the long knife in his hand, and attacked Lu Xiao with several killing moves one after another.Lu Xiao did not retreat but advanced, waving a scimitar to resist it, but his internal strength was not as good as Zheng Lun's, and he suffered a lot of hidden losses when comparing the two swords, and Zheng Lun's internal force shocked his chest with blood within a few strokes .However, Lu Xiao has a stubborn temper. Seeing this situation, he not only refused to evade, but went forward head-on, desperate for his life, and also wanted to hurt Zheng Lun under the knife.

Chen Nian saw it clearly, fearing that Lu Xiao's life might be lost, he felt anxious, completely disregarding his own safety, swung his knife and rushed towards Zheng Lun.She used the melee fighting method taught by Jing Yuxuan, the knife moved with it, swift and changeable, although it was powerful, it was also dangerous.Zheng Lun didn't want to hurt her, so he hurriedly forcibly took back the knife, but he didn't want Chen Nian's subordinates to be merciless, taking advantage of the time, he cut his arm with a knife.

Thanks to Zheng Lun's quick dodge, he avoided the danger of breaking his arm, but the incision was extremely deep, and blood gushed out instantly, soaking his sleeves in the blink of an eye.

Chen Nian was also a little surprised, looking at the long knife in his hand, and at Zheng Lun's injured arm, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Zheng Lun raised his eyes to look at her, then moved back a few steps with his arms down, pursed his lips slightly, and raised his fingers to seal the acupoints near the wound to stop the bleeding.

At this moment, someone shouted from the foot of the mountain: "Don't do anything, keep someone under the sword!"

All of them turned their heads to look, and saw another group of troops coming down the mountain, they were all dressed as Qingzhou Army, the person in the lead was running towards this side, shouting continuously, it was Qiu San whom he hadn't seen for a long time in Chennian.

It turned out that Qiu San led the people all the way quickly, and did not catch up until now.He saw many corpses of bandits on the ground here from a distance, and saw Chen Nian and Zheng Lun fighting together, and thought they were fighting to the death, he was frightened out of his wits, fearing that Zheng Lun would get hurt again if he missed a moment Chennian.After he came close panting, he looked at Chen Nian from head to toe, and seeing that she was well, he patted his chest and said with lingering fear: "It's fine, it's fine."

Chen Nian looked at him coldly, and before he could ask a question, Qiu San waved his hands again and again and said: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled Zheng Lun aside, and said in a low voice, "General Zheng, my son has already Knowing that Miss Xie is in this mountain, he deliberately let her here, you have caused a big disaster today! You have exposed the matter that everyone tried to hide!"

Zheng Lun was silent for a moment, then said, "I thought the son didn't know she was here."

Qiu San glanced at Zheng Lun, felt a little sympathetic to him, and said, "It's too late to say this now, but fortunately Miss Xie was not injured. It's just that she is very defensive. If you killed many of her subordinates, I'm afraid It can't be better."

Zheng Lun frowned and said, "I didn't kill her men."

Qiu San's face was full of disbelief, he raised his chin slightly towards the corpses on the ground, and said, "Didn't you kill those people?"

Seeing his misunderstanding, Zheng Lun said, "Those are from Hukouling, not her subordinates."

When Qiu San heard this, a stone fell from his heart, and he said happily, "That's good, that's good." At this moment, he noticed that Zheng Lun was injured, and he was startled, and asked in a startled voice, "What's wrong with your arm? ?”

Zheng Lun dryly twitched the corners of his mouth and replied, "It's nothing."

Qiu San sucked his teeth a few times, and then turned around to look at Chen Nian. Before he could open his mouth, he smiled, with a surprised look on his face as if he had met an old friend by chance, and said, "Oh, what a coincidence! I met Xie Nian here. How are you, girl?"

Chen Nian didn't respond, just stood there watching him.

Qiu San himself felt bored, and scratched his head in distress, and after thinking about it, he tentatively asked Chen Nian, "Where are you going? Do you need me to send troops to escort you?"

Chen Nian heard that he wanted to let her go, so she said: "No, thank you." She left after she finished speaking, but stopped after walking two steps, hesitated for a moment, and then walked back to Zheng Lun, He whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm actually very grateful that you let me go that day."

Zheng Lun lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Miss Xie, you are kind."

Chen Nian forced a smile, turned around and left without even looking at Lu Xiao.Lu Xiao could see that she was very annoyed, and he didn't dare to make any more troubles, so he hurriedly chased after her.The two of them traveled northward for more than ten miles, but Chen Nian didn't intend to stop, so Lu Xiao could only catch up with her two steps and grabbed her arm, and said in a low voice, "Xie Chennian, I was wrong."

Chen Nian was extremely angry, he shook off his arm vigorously, and still walked with his head buried.Seeing this, Lu Xiao quickly stepped in front of her and apologized again: "Xie Chennian, I was wrong!"

Chen Nian raised his head angrily, and said with red eyes, "Master Lu Xiaolu, you are right! You are brave and invincible, and you regard death as life, and you would rather see the broken jade than the whole. What is wrong with you?"

Lu Xiao was speechless, held back for a moment, and then said: "I'm angry with him for saying those words, and even more angry with him for treating you like that. I don't like what you said to him..."

"I don't like it either! I don't like it either!" Chen Nian hissed, holding back his tears, but his nasal cavity was sore, "You think I like talking to people? Do you think I'm willing to expose those things? Open it for others to see? Do you think I am willing to win other people's sympathy? I don't want to, I don't want to at all! I would rather be stabbed twice than let people pity me!"

Lu Xiao felt pain in his heart when he heard this, and didn't know how to persuade her. He was stunned for a moment, then simply took a step forward, stretched out his arms to embrace Chen Nian, and pressed her head firmly in front of him.

Chen Nian yelled a few more words, and finally couldn't help crying bitterly.Since she was a child, she was competitive and liked face-saving. She felt very embarrassed when she said those words to Zheng Lun. She didn't want Lu Xiao to be so stunned, fighting for his life with Zheng Lun just for a moment.

Lu Xiao didn't speak all the time, but hugged Chen Nian tightly.

Chen Nian cried for a while, and felt much better after venting the grievance in his heart, but when he calmed down, he felt embarrassed.Lu Xiao still hugged her very tightly, and she struggled without showing any signs, but she couldn't break free.She thought for a while and said bluntly, "Lu Xiao, let me go, I'm fine."

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then quickly let go of her, took two steps back before standing still, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, he didn't know what to say to Chen Nian.

Chen Nian thought to himself, the more awkward the moment, the more embarrassing it would be, it would be better to be generous, so he said: "Thank you for comforting me, I'm fine, let's go find Cui Xi and the others quickly, so as not to worry them."

Lu Xiao hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay."

Both of them deliberately avoided what happened just now, and no one mentioned it anymore, they just hurried forward.

Chen Nian walked for a while, but saw Chaoyangzi and Jing Yuxuan rushing over with the people from the village.When Xiao Hou'er saw Chen Nian and the two of them, his face was overjoyed, and he shouted from afar: "Senior Sister! Senior Sister!"

Chaoyangzi was at the front, the first to arrive, looked Chen Nian and Lu Xiao up and down, and asked, "Are you injured?"

Chen Nian smiled and said, "It's okay."

Only then did Chaoyangzi feel relieved, but he said again: "It's rare, it's rare, I heard my junior brother talk about Zheng Lun before, saying that although he is not very old, he is a good martial artist, even my junior brother is not sure about it." Defeat him. You two can be considered lucky to escape from his grasp."

Jing Yuxuan was displeased when he heard this, and said: "If it wasn't for you, an old black man, who broke my magical skills, what is a mere Zheng Lun!" She turned her head and looked at Chen Nian again, and shouted, "Girl, you Do you want to follow me to practice the Five Aggregates Divine Art?"

After Chaoyangzi heard this, he became anxious. Chen Nian was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, so he hurried ahead of Chaoyangzi and said: "They are not far away, even the people from Hukouling are also nearby. Let's go back to Niutoushan first. Say it again."

After hearing this, Xiao Houer asked strangely: "Are we going back to Niutoushan now? Are we not doing business in Feilongxing?"

Chen Nian said: "Don't do it, Feilongxing is going to leave soon, we can't afford to mess with it."

Although everyone was unwilling, they did a lot of business these days, and the income was very rich. Seeing that Chen Nian decided to go back to Niutoushan, no one objected.

They didn't mention it since they returned to Niutoushan, but they said that Zheng Lun and Qiu San were here. Zheng Lun let his own soldiers bandage his injured arm briefly. Seeing that the assistant hesitated to speak, Zheng Lun thought for a while and said: " There is no need to hide what happened today for me, I will write a letter to the son to plead guilty."

After he said this, the deputy was relieved and said: "Don't worry, commander, even if the son asks, the subordinate will defend the commander a few words."

Zheng Lun shook his head and said, "There's no need for that, just say what you have."

The deputy promised, but Qiu San misunderstood that they were talking about today's collision with Chen Nian, and couldn't help interjecting: "General Zheng, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Zheng Lun didn't speak, just looked up at him.

Qiu San waited for a long time without waiting for his reply, so he could only talk to himself: "I think, of course, we can't hide this matter from my son, but what to say, it's up to us. I just said that you were in Feilongxing unintentionally. I met Miss Xie here, and I wanted to persuade her to go back, but I accidentally got into an argument with her. In the end, because I didn't dare to hurt her, I had to let her go. How about you? It won’t make the Shizi displeased, what do you think?”

Zheng Lun said, "It's you."

Qiu San said again: "Since this is the case, I don't think you need to write a special letter to plead guilty to the son of the world for this matter."

Zheng Lun glanced at him, and then said: "I apologise, not because of what happened today."

Qiu San didn't hear the conversation between Chen Nian and Zheng Lun before, so he couldn't help showing a puzzled expression: "That's for..."

Zheng Lun smiled wryly, and said: "It happened in Qingzhou before. On the day Miss Xie escaped from the Eldest Son, when I searched the city guard's mansion, I found Miss Xie, but I didn't report it to the Elder Son."

Qiu San was dumbfounded and didn't close his mouth for a while.Although he was already in Xue Shengying's army at that time, he also knew that Feng Junyang almost turned Qingzhou City upside down in order to find Chen Nian, but he never expected that it was Zheng Lun who released water from it and made Chen Nian escape.

After a while, Qiu San sighed with admiration: "General Zheng, you are so courageous." After a pause, he sighed again, "You are more loyal than me, Qiu San is ashamed."

Zheng Lun also couldn't tell why he let Chen Nian go, was he complaining for Miss Yun Sheng, or was he moved by Chen Nian's tears?But since he did that, he didn't think that he could hide it from the Shizi forever, and now that he was exposed, he felt a lot easier in his heart.

Thinking of this, he simply wrote the matter into the letter, and sent it to Feng Junyang as soon as possible.

Feng Junyang was in Yunxi, and it was ten days after he received the letter. Before that, he had actually received the secret letter and knew about it.But after seeing Zheng Lun's handwritten letter, he still closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, then asked Shunping softly, "Is he acting like this for Yunsheng, or for Chennian?"

Sweat came out on Shunping's forehead. After thinking and thinking, he finally made a decision, and replied: "Look, little one, he should be for Miss Yunsheng." He paused, and then said, "In When he was in Qingzhou, he once said a few words to express his injustice for Miss Yunsheng."

Junpei answered this sentence in fear, his lips moved a few times, and finally closed.He had already done his best, and if he said more, he would be self-defeating.Shunping couldn't help cursing Zheng Lun secretly, for such a hot potato, others would avoid it, but that idiot reached into the fire to grab it by himself, he was really impatient.

There was no movement from Feng Junyang. After a long time, he sneered slightly and asked, "For Yunsheng?"

It can be said that the first time was for Yunsheng to let Chen Nian go, but what about the second time?Is it because of Yun Sheng that he went to the mountains to look for Chen Nian?If you really just want to scare Chen Nian away, why hide in the car beforehand?
Feng Junyang raised a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth, and murmured in praise: "What a loyal Zheng Lun!"

Seeing his reaction like this, Shunping didn't even dare to take a glance, and lowered his head even lower, but Feng Junyang said indifferently: "Write to him and tell him to get the second one himself." Ten army sticks. This kind of thing is only once, if there is another time, our ten-year master-servant relationship will be exhausted."

Shunping walked out the door lightly, and only let out a long breath of foul air when he walked a long way.Not long after he left, another gray-clothed man was brought into Feng Junyang's yard by a young servant. Report it to Feng Junyang in detail.

"...The royal court where the orphaned princess of the Xian family came to the royal court years ago was picked up by Shan Yu Tuobayao himself from a small tribe in Xihu. It is said that after Tuoba Xi's death, the princess was dissatisfied with her brother's promotion of his wife. In a fit of anger, he took only a few bodyguards and headed west. Unexpectedly, he encountered sand bandits in the desert, and all the bodyguards died. The princess fled to the depths of the desert alone, and was captured by the leader of a small Xihu tribe. He was rescued and brought back to the tribe. After the princess recovered from her injuries, she sent someone back to the Xian clan to inquire. Only then did she learn that her elder brother Tuoba Jun had died of illness, and the position of Shan Yu had fallen into the hands of her cousin. The princess stayed behind. I lived in that small tribe and married the leader. The two loved each other for a while after they got married, but later the leader married another wife. The princess was depressed and died within a few years, leaving only one daughter behind. , is the woman Tuoba Yao picked up."

The man said so much in one breath, his mouth was dry.Feng Junyang pointed to the teacup on the table next to the man, and said flatly, "Take a breath and talk about it."

The man quickly thanked her, picked up the teacup and swallowed two mouthfuls of warm tea, then carefully put down the teacup, and continued: "Tuobayao attaches great importance to that woman, and she is under strict supervision. No matter how hard I try, I still can't see her." Up side."

Feng Junyang tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with his fingers, and was silent for a while, but suddenly asked: "What is that spiritual bone?"

The man replied: "It is said to be a sacred object of the Tuoba clan of the Xian clan. It is a token bestowed on the Tuoba clan by God and ordered him to take over the kingship of the Xian clan. But only the patriarchs of the eight major clans of the Xian clan know what it is. I have never seen it before, I only know that there are two, one is on Tuobayao, and the other is on the orphaned princess."

Feng Junyang smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Since it's on a living person, how come no one has seen it?"

The man also laughed a few times along with him, took out a piece of soft sheepskin from his hidden pocket, bowed his hands and handed it to Feng Junyang's case, saying: "The young master is indeed wise! The orphan of the princess was taken by Tuoba Yao Watch closely, but I couldn't find a way to get close, but the maid next to Tuobayao was bribed by a villain, and drew such a picture, saying that it was a piece of ancient jade, but I don't know why it is called a spiritual bone."

Feng Junyang unfolded the sheepskin for a closer look, and said, "Looking at the shape, it looks like the teeth of a ferocious beast."

The man replied: "The little one thinks the same way. The Xian clan is a barbaric clan, and the beast worshiped by the Tuoba clan is the wolf god. Xu De just carved the ancient jade into the shape of wolf teeth."

Feng Junyang nodded slightly, looked at the sheepskin again, and threw it on the case.

The man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although I didn't see the orphan of the princess, but according to what the villain saw, it must not be Miss Yunsheng."

Feng Junyang looked up at him, and asked with a smile: "Why do you know that? Just based on the same life experience as in the script? The content may be somewhat true, but the princess may not have gone west at that time, but went south. "

After leaving Taihang Mountain that day, Feng Junyang went directly to Taixing by land. Firstly, to cover up his whereabouts, he decided to visit his aunt in Taixing, and secondly, because of Yunsheng's disappearance.

After arriving in Taixing, He Zhen did not hide the disappearance of Yunsheng from Feng Junyang, and asked him to help him make an unannounced visit to the territory of Yunxi, because there were clues that on the day Yunsheng disappeared, a suspicious person left the south gate and went to the riverside. Headed towards the pier.Since we have crossed the river, there are only two destinations, one is Jiangnan and the other is Yunxi.

He Zhen didn't seem to be hiding anything from him. If He Ze hadn't looked for him before, Feng Junyang might not have seen any flaws for a while.He Zhen's performance was really good, as if he was really a father who was worried day and night because of the disappearance of his beloved daughter. Due to the family's reputation, he had to forcibly cover up the matter, so he had to send someone to secretly search for it. Although he was very anxious, People still have to pretend nothing happened.

On the contrary, my aunt knew her husband who had lived with him for more than ten years. She held her nephew's hand tightly when no one was there, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't believe He Zhen, he is acting, always acting. He You must know the whereabouts of Yunsheng, and you must have concealed something for that bitch's daughter. Yunsheng disappeared in that yard, and it must have something to do with that fool! Yunsheng will not go to our Yunxi, she was forced to I took it to the north, and the maid next to the fool said that he had seen people from Mobei, and that bitch was born in Beimo and settled down."

Although so long has passed, Feng Junyang still seems to be able to feel the coldness and trembling of his aunt's fingertips at that time. He slowly shook hands, looked up at the man in gray, and said, "Yunsheng just disappeared. The news came from Mobei that Tuobayao had found the orphan of the princess, is it too coincidental?"

That man is Feng Junyang's confidant, and he gained his trust so much that he sent him to the Mobei Xian Sect to investigate the matter. Now that he heard what Feng Junyang said, after thinking about it, he expressed his opinion: " It took more than a month for the villain to travel from Taixing to Mobei King's Court. If the Xian family really took Miss Yunsheng away, they would have to hide their whereabouts, and they would never be faster than the villain. Miss Yunsheng disappeared from Taixing on the ninth day of November, but the orphan of the princess arrived in the royal court in mid-November, so the time is wrong."

Feng Junyang remained silent, and after a while he said: "Perhaps Tuoba Yao did it on purpose."

If he were Tuobayao, in order not to reveal the true identity of the orphan of the princess, he would naturally make some false appearances to confuse everyone, making it impossible for people to speculate according to common sense.

The man heard what he said, although he didn't agree with it, he still responded: "It's also possible."

In fact, even though Feng Junyang said this, he himself knew that this was only a tiny possibility. The world is so big that although there are coincidences, they are rare after all.What can only be confirmed now is that Yun Sheng's disappearance is definitely related to He Zhen's first wife who was not included in the genealogy, but He Zhen deliberately covered it up, and there are too few clues that can be detected.When he left Taixing, he left someone there to investigate the events of the year, and it took nearly half a year, but he failed to find anything.

It's been too long, and the fire in the backyard of the Chengshou Mansion seemed to have wiped out all traces, leaving only a silly girl raised by He Zhen in that secluded small courtyard, where ordinary people would never see her again. arrive.

Feng Junyang unconsciously stretched out his hand to gently rub his temples, paused for a moment, and then asked again: "Is there any other news from Mrs. Xian?"

The man replied: "Tuobayao had eradicated two forces that opposed his clan before, and later obtained the orphan of the princess and the spirit bone, which have been recognized by the patriarchs of the eight major clans. Before the villain came, I heard that Tuobayao wanted The capital was moved to Shangjing, the former capital of Beimo, and we are discussing this matter with the clan chiefs."

Feng Junyang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and sighed after a while: "What a Tuobayao, he has such ambition and courage."

After a while, Feng Junyang gave the sheepskin on the case to the man, and said: "You have worked hard all the way, go down and rest for a while, and you need to go to Taixing in two days to hand over the sheepskin to the man." To my aunt, ask her to try to find out if anyone has seen this thing."

The man got up and took the sheepskin, and stepped back carefully.

Feng Junyang felt exhausted, and slowly leaned his body into the chair, took the dart from the desk and played with it silently.

He rubbed the dart with his fingertips, but there was a wry smile on his lips, he leaned back in the chair and was lost in a daze for a while, and then he regained his energy to deal with the official duties on the case.Just after reading a few official documents, Shunping hurried in from outside, and whispered to him: "The secret envoy is here from Shengdu, my lord, please go over."

finally come!Feng Junyang frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at Shunping, and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Shunping's voice couldn't hide his excitement, and he replied concisely: "The King of Yue killed the King of Lingnan according to the imperial edict, but the emperor said that the King of Yue was coquettish and killed him without permission, and he executed the King of Yue, which aroused the anger of the kings surnamed Qi, and asked the Qing emperor to side. Please ask the prince to lead troops into the court to suppress the rebellion."
