I have an altar of luck

It is naturally impossible for Chen Yuan to be late. He has no specific division of responsibilities and is in a high position. He is very free now, and no one will take care of him.

Even if there is, he can still refuse because of his injuries.

After deciding to go, Chen Yuan didn't hesitate, and if it's too late, things will change. Anyway, staying in the capital is nothing to do, so it's better to go and see the famous Longmen Ferry.

Just as Chen Yuan was about to leave, another familiar guest came to his mansion.

It is Zhang Yantong's second daughter, Zhang Wanshu.

"Why is Second Sister here?"

Chen Yuan invited him to the mansion and ordered him to serve tea.

Zhang Wanshu said with some concern:

"I heard from my father that you accidentally suffered some injuries two days ago. How are you doing now? Is there any serious problem?"

"It's just some minor injuries, please trouble the second sister to worry about it."

Chen Yuan smiled lightly.

"Oh."

The Second Sister Zhang responded, her eyes lowered, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. Seeing this, Chen Yuan knew that there might be something wrong with Zhang Wanshu, and immediately asked directly:

"Second sister is here this time, what's the matter?"

"Ah."

She nodded her head lightly.

"If there is anything Chen can help, I will definitely not be stingy in helping." When the other party comes, it must be aimed at him, and he will not refuse if he can.

Not to mention the friendship that Second Sister Zhang gave him a talisman before, just for the sake of Zhang Xuan and Zhang Yantong, Chen Yuan will also help.

It's just that she really couldn't figure it out, with Zhang Yantong as an envoy, what could the other party ask for from him?

"Really?"

Second Sister Zhang raised her head and looked at him with hope.

"real."

"Don't lie to me?"

Seeing Second Sister Zhang showing this young daughter's posture in front of him for the first time, Chen Yuan also couldn't laugh or cry, and said quickly:

"Second sister, don't worry, I will never lie to you."

Zhang Wanshu hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"I have always grown up in the capital, and I have rarely been to other places. A while ago, I heard from the steward of the mansion that there will be a lantern festival in Lin'an Mansion tomorrow, and there will be a beautiful scene of carps jumping over the dragon gate. I want to go and see...

I heard that this leap to the Dragon Gate is the most grand event in the past ten years, I... I don't want to miss it. "

As she spoke, Zhang Wanshu's face suddenly turned red.

After all, she also knew that it was a little... shameful for her daughter's family to invite a man to attend this kind of lantern festival, but who told Chen Yuan that he had never been enlightened?

If she didn't look for him, he kept pretending to be deaf and dumb.

The words she heard outside the door had already strengthened her mind a lot. Even if the capital said that Chen Yuan would become a son-in-law, as long as he didn't want to, she would believe it.

"This……"

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised and uncertain.

Second Sister Zhang actually invited him to Lin'an Mansion, and the destination was Longmendu!

His main concern is not the other party's invitation, but at this destination, how...how could it be such a coincidence?As soon as he had this idea, the other party actually came!

He couldn't help but startled, and his thoughts scattered.

He can be sure that no one will know his intention to go to Lin'an, which also proves that this incident is indeed a coincidence, does that mean,

Even if he didn't get the guidance of that chance, would it be possible to get the chance?

God?

No, it shouldn't be.

He is not a character of pleasure-seeking, if there is no chance to guide him, he has a high probability of refusing to go to Lin'an Mansion.

He was originally a suspicious character, this coincidence really made him a little suspicious.

"What's the matter? You... You just said you wouldn't lie to me."

Second Sister Zhang looked at Chen Yuan's stunned expression, thinking that it was because he didn't want to agree.

"Oh...no...it's nothing, I just thought of something." Chen Yuan quickly turned his mind back, not showing that much surprise.

"The guards in the mansion have been unable to get away these few days, so..."

Chen Yuan stared at Zhang Wanshu and smiled.

Can't get away?

This reason is really lame. As a third-rank official of the court, Miss Qianjin, how could she not be able to spare a few guards?However, he did not expose the other party, he just said:

"Oh."

"Then you might as well come with me."

"I……"

"You just said you wouldn't lie to me."

Staring at the other party's big watery eyes, Chen Yuan sighed lightly. He wouldn't even talk to anyone else, but Second Sister Zhang was different after all.

"You can go together, but you have to listen to me in everything."

There shouldn't be any danger this trip, although Second Sister Zhang's cultivation base is only Ning Gang, it is not a burden, besides, she has already agreed before, breaking her promise is not a man's doing.

Just go there.

Anyway, I have already obtained the position of envoy, and I will leave the capital in a short time.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never cause you any trouble." Second Sister Zhang stared wide-eyed, her face full of joy.

"Then second sister, let's go back and prepare first, we will leave later, so as not to delay the time."

"No, I'm ready."

Zhang Wanshu smiled lightly.

Chen Yuan: "..."

……

……

Princess House.

Princess Pingyang's face was cold, her fingers moved slowly on the strings, and a chilling melody enveloped the entire mansion, making many maidservants tremble with fear.

Ever since the "Imperial Palace Banquet" a few days ago, they could see that the Eldest Princess was very unhappy, especially after going to Shuanghe Temple.

After a long time, Princess Pingyang's finger that plucked the strings stopped, but the sound of the piano still echoed.

Except for Princess Pingyang, there was no one in the small pavilion, but she turned her gaze to the rear.

"See Your Royal Highness the Princess."

"What's the matter?"

The man in black knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"Returning to Your Highness, according to the information obtained by my subordinates, Chen Yuan and Zhang Yantong's daughter Zhang Wanshu have left the city together."

"Zhang Wanshu..." Ping Yang frowned:

"What did you do?"

"Judging from the information obtained by Zhang's mansion, it should be that he went to Lin'an mansion to watch fish."

"Longmen Ferry?"

"Yes."

"This palace knows."

Princess Pingyang didn't have any other expressions, she was very cold from beginning to end.

"There is news from Liangzhou that a group of alien war horses disappeared from the Beiliang Army Racecourse some time ago. It seems that His Majesty is also investigating this matter."

"Ah."

"The First Prince..."

The man in black kept reporting to Princess Pingyang about the current situation in the capital and the world, quite like sitting at home and knowing everything about the world.

"Any more?"

"There was a change in the Heavenly Demon Palace in Blood State and the Liang Shanshui Bo Village. According to the news sent back, two state officials from the imperial court in Blood State... were killed again. They should be the ones who did it."

"understood."

"Subordinates retire."

"Ah."

Princess Pingyang nodded, and continued to pluck the strings under her body.

The capital, the imperial study.

Jingtai drew a picture of a blood moon covering the sky on the desk. Below the picture is a very magnificent city. If you look closely, you can see that it is somewhat similar to the capital city.

And the blood moon covered the sun's light, covering the whole world, giving it a weird and evil feeling.

Jingtai squinted his eyes, revealing a trace of coldness, fixedly staring at Xueyue's position, with some eagerness and longing.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Cao is here."

"Let him in."

Jingtai heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hand to put away the blood moon covering the sky on the desk, and restored it to its original appearance again.

Cao Zhengxian walked into the imperial study with a solemn face, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty."

"coming?"

"Ah."

"What happened?"

Jingtai stared at Cao Zhengxian and asked.

"The King of Zhennan sent a message that the monster race in southern Xinjiang has changed. Recently, more than ten incidents of monsters entering and harming the people have been investigated. He estimates that the south may no longer be stable in the future..."

As he said that, Cao Zhengxian's face was extremely solemn.

It was only in the past few hundred years that the northern barbarian cavalry harassed the border and became a major problem in the Central Plains. Before that, the real major problem in the entire Central Plains was the monster race in the [-] mountains in southern Xinjiang.

The turning point of the matter started 500 years ago, when the former Chu emperors of that generation mobilized the power of the entire imperial court to launch a life-and-death battle that lasted for several years in southern Xinjiang in order to completely wipe out the demon.

In that battle, the demon clan in southern Xinjiang was disabled, and in exchange for about 500 years of stability, although there were also monsters making trouble, they are no longer as rampant as they used to be.

But that battle also damaged most of the former Chu's elite, and the decline of the dynasty has planted the root of disaster since then.

However, due to the achievements of that generation of emperors, they were still given the posthumous title of "Wu".

However, although the Yaozu has been stable for a long time, anyone with some experience and cultivation knows that the Yaozu has only been recuperating in the past few hundred years.

Now that there are changes, maybe 500 years of stability are coming to an end.

That's why Cao Zhengxian looked like he was facing an enemy.

Before Chen Yuan was ordered to enter Beijing, Cao Zhengxian had such worries, and now it is even more serious.

"Yaozu..." Jingtai frowned and said softly:

"Things... are coming together soon."

He was just about to start his big plan, just started to gather the power in the court, and everything was still progressing steadily, but there was such a movement from the Yaozu.

It also made him wonder, is it because he has done so many crimes that even God doesn't give him a chance to rejuvenate?

"Yeah, not long ago, the blood state was still in chaos, attacking and killing officials in the two prefectures, causing a lot of trouble, I didn't expect that the demon clan would start to make trouble before the court was free to deal with these demonic monsters. "
