Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Jiang Xinxin came and went freely on the Kunlun Snow Mountain, and she actually collected quite a few spiritual medicines that contained some spiritual energy. With these spiritual medicines as a reference, she knew what things could be taken out and what things must never appear in the world.

When the half-month period was about to end, Jiang Xinxin reluctantly left Kunlun Mountain and went to Tuozhou, because Su Yunluo was in Tuozhou.

Originally, Shanshuidu used the whereabouts of the miraculous medicine Heweibai in exchange for Su Yunluo's guarding Zuo Qingci and retrieving the Shanhe Shejitu. She spent a lot of effort to steal the Shanhe Shejitu from Duan Yan, and gave it to Shen Manqing and Yin Changge to take back to Tuozhou and return it to Jing'an Marquis Mansion in advance to resolve the crisis of Jing'an Marquis Mansion's destruction.

But she also had to protect the doctor Zuo Qingci all the way back to Zhongyuan Shanshui Ferry to report. Moreover, she recognized that this doctor Zuo Qingci was the friend she met when she brought her master Su Xuan to Fangwai Valley to seek treatment from the ghost doctor. Therefore, for a moment, no matter from which aspect, she had to protect Zuo Qingci and go back to Shanshui Ferry together.

However, although Shen Manqing and Yin Changge returned the Map of Mountains and Rivers to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion in time, the crisis of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion was not over.

In the capital, Weining Marquis Pei Jinghuan seized the opportunity to force Emperor Xiaoming to deal with Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, attempting to control the military power of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, and then counterattack the capital and threaten Emperor Xiaoming.

Emperor Xiaoming was not a fool. He was pushed out by court officials and royal family members to be a puppet, but he did not give up his intention to take power. He had been developing in secret for ten years, but he was reluctant to show his cards until the critical moment, and he had not thought of turning against Emperor Xiaoming directly.

Just when Marquis Weining didn't know how to attack Marquis Jing'an's Mansion, he suddenly received news that Duan Yan was able to hide in Marquis Jing'an's Mansion and successfully steal the drawings because of Yan Qing, the only girl in the mansion.

Shen Sanzhang, the deputy general under Marquis Weining, noticed that something was wrong with Yan Qing, and he thought that he could dig out something from Yan Qing. So when Yan Qing felt guilty that she almost killed everyone in the mansion because of her selfishness and blurted out that it was all her fault, Shen Sanzhang took the opportunity to detain Yan Qing and even wanted to take her to the capital to await trial.

Marquis Jing'an certainly would not watch his only child suffer, but he could not give up the person who returned to the map. In a dilemma, Yan Zhi, who used the alias Zuo Qingci, decided to replace Yan Qing with himself.

Su Yunluo chased after him directly. On the one hand, considering that her master still needed some medicine to cure the disease and detoxify, she needed to ensure Zuo Qingci's safety at present. On the other hand, she didn't want the friend she knew in childhood to die like this, so she still wanted to try her best to persuade them, maybe they could think of other ways.

Su Yunluo didn't expect Zuo Qingci to take her directly to Yan Zhi's tomb.

Zuo Qingci looked at Yan Zhi's tomb, still feeling resentful towards Jing'an Marquis Yan Yu: "Back then, my father chose to let me die instead of others without hesitation. Later, I was poisoned, and it was only my mother who took the risk of falling out with him to take me to seek medical treatment everywhere. It can be said that my life is still alive today because of my mother's hard work."

Su Yunluo thought of herself who had sought medical treatment and medicine for her master over the years, so she comforted Zuo Qingci: "I'm afraid your mother only wants you to be safe and happy, nothing else matters."

Zuo Qingci smiled slightly, and felt a little sorry when he looked at Su Yunluo. "My sister is in a very critical situation now. She has accidentally revealed that it was related to the loss of the map. At that time, she took in Duan Yan, the prince of Weinan who stole the map. Even though the Splendid Mountains and Rivers Map has been returned now, the loss of the map is still a serious crime. The ministers in the court will not miss any opportunity to punish the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion."

Su Yunluo didn't understand these court affairs, but after Zuo Qingci explained them, she understood a little, "But maybe we have other ways, for example, we can kidnap Yan Qing before Shen Sanzhang takes her away."

Zuo Qingci shook his head: "No, someone must take responsibility for Yan Qing's affairs, and I am the most suitable person."

On the other side, Shen Manqing and Yin Changge broke into the Tuozhou prison with Zhu Yan, a young man they rescued from the Western Regions. Unfortunately, they failed to bring Yan Qing out. Unexpectedly, Shen Sanzhang's subordinate Yang Huan realized that Zuo Qingci had a complicated relationship with Jing'an Marquis Mansion. After reporting to Shen Sanzhang, Shen Sanzhang thought about it again and again and decided to release Yan Qing first, and then use Yan Qing as bait to find out the person behind her and Zuo Qingci.

Shen Sanzhang also knew that Yan Zhi, the only legitimate son of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, died in the turmoil ten years ago. Now, a man named Zuo Qingci, who was about the same age as Yan Zhi if he were still alive, suddenly appeared. Not only did he have certain goodwill towards the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, he also went to Yan Zhi's tomb. Maybe this Zuo Qingci was the Yan Zhi who was claimed to have been dead for ten years.

Su Yunluo failed to convince Zuo Qingci, but unexpectedly, after they returned, they received news that Yan Qing had been released, but Yan Qing had experienced severe torture and was covered in wounds and needed to recuperate well.

When they returned to the inn, Su Yunluo didn't expect that Shanshuidu Sect Master Wen Siyuan had also come here. However, before she had the chance to ask about Heweibai's whereabouts, Wen Siyuan sent her and Zuo Qingci's apprentice Bai Mo out.

Wen Siyuan is the leader of Shanshuidu, an intelligence agency that covers the martial arts world and the court. So even if Zuo Qingci said that he had nothing to do with the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, he is the leader of Shanshuidu. Even a warrior like Shen Sanzhang can guess that Zuo Qingci is most likely Yan Zhi, so how could he not guess it?

It doesn't matter if Zuo Qingci doesn't admit it. Wen Siyuan doesn't force it. He just asks Zuo Qingci and his party to leave the city quickly. "As long as Shen Sanzhang still wants to use Miss Yan to fish, Miss Yan will not be in any danger for a while. As long as you don't fall into Shen Sanzhang's hands, the matter of losing the mountain and river map can be covered up in the court."

"So, the most urgent thing is to get out of the city quickly and avoid being found by Shen Sanzhang's people."

Zuo Qingci also knew the seriousness of the matter, so when he received the news that Marquis Jing'an had an appointment, he only kowtowed in front of the gate of Tuozhou after leaving the city, and did not keep the appointment, which also reduced Marquis Jing'an's handle.

After Su Yunluo left the city, she learned from Wen Siyuan that Heweibai was located at Tiandu Peak in Zhengyang Palace in Zhongdu, so she decided to take advantage of the five-year sword test conference to enter Tiandu Peak and get Heweibai.

Zuo Qingci was also going to Zhongdu, so he invited Su Yunluo to go with him, but Su Yunluo had to wait for Jiang Xinxin, so he rejected Zuo Qingci's kindness, which made Zuo Qingci unable to cheer up along the way, and his disciple Bai Mo kept attacking him.

Bai Mo is young, but he can see things clearly. Seeing Zuo Qingci reluctant to leave Su Yunluo, he directly attacked: "Master, Su Yunluo looks like she has something important to do. Master, if you really like her, you should have said that you can help her instead of just speaking from your own perspective."

"Most of the time, Su Yunluo is willing to give others a way out, but when it comes to his own important matters, he will definitely not compromise easily. Master, you can't even understand this. How could Su Yunluo think highly of you?"

Zuo Qingci was furious and turned around to meet Jiang Xinxin. Although Jiang Xinxin was far away, she had an extraordinary sixth sense and heard everything Bai Mo said. She felt that Bai Mo was really a smart person and would definitely have a great future.
