Overwhelming mountains and rivers

"My lord!"

"Mo Yi."

"Where did the prince go? Mo Yi just changed posts with someone else, and when he came back, he found that the prince was nowhere to be seen in the carriage, and even Mr. Mo Yuan was missing." Mo Yi was a little anxious for a while, seeing the two of them coming back, he hurried welcome up.

"My son and I have been bored in the car for a long time. We took advantage of the night to walk around the neighborhood. I didn't have time to tell you. It made you worry."

"It's fine, my lord."

…………

After passing the Guanshan Mountains, the group entered a valley. In the middle of the valley was a narrow path with dense jungle on both sides. It was a good place to ambush and kill.

As soon as Chu Xuanzhao entered this valley, he ordered everyone to cheer up and move forward cautiously.

Seeing that they would walk out of this valley soon, the group of people still did not dare to relax their vigilance. Sure enough, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and several sharp arrows shot straight at the carriage.

The personal guard immediately waved his saber to resist, but two or three were still nailed to the wall of the carriage.Although the carriage looked wooden on the outside, a layer of pig iron was sandwiched inside according to Chu Xuanzhao's order. The sharp arrow only penetrated through the outer layer of wood, and it was difficult to get in any more.

Dongfang Ce, who was hiding in the forest, found this out easily. In this way, as long as Chu Xuanzhao and the man he brought hid in the carriage and could not come out, there was nothing they could do.

He waved his hand to make his men stop the bows and arrows in their hands, and ordered them to go directly to surround the carriage.

The personal guards saw the killers coming out from both sides quickly guarding the carriage and fighting with the approaching killers.

The assassins had a clear goal and concentrated on the carriage in the middle. The personal guards were unable to protect them, and some assassins still rushed into the guard area. The curtain of the carriage suddenly rose, and a white jade folding fan carried internal force and instantly knocked the assassin who rushed in front of the carriage into the air. go out.

Chu Xuanzhao didn't intend to sacrifice the lives of all his guards to protect himself. He jumped out of the carriage and quickly joined the battle. His appearance made the surrounding killers concentrate on him.

During this period of time, Chu Xuanzhao's Fire Dragon Art has reached the peak of the fourth level, and his internal strength has long been comparable to when he first entered the south of the Yangtze River. A folding fan dances so airtightly that others can only see an afterimage passing by in front of them. .

Seeing that it was difficult to hurt him for a while, Dongfang Ce blew a whistle, and the remaining killers rushed out from the side and quickly blocked Chu Xuanzhao.Seeing this, Chu Xuanzhao's personal guards rushed to block him.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was blown open again by a strong force, and a white jade hole flute flew out of the carriage, wrapped in a strong internal force, and directly hit the two killers surrounding Chu Xuanzhao.Immediately afterwards, a slender young man dressed in green clothes turned around and landed beside Chu Xuanzhao, and raised his hand to gently catch the white jade Dongxiao.

Seeing the white jade flute and the figure of the man in green, Dongfang Ce's pupils shrank suddenly. Is this the so-called "beauty brought by Chu Xuanzhao"?Heh~, this is really true, it seems that the blood kite is bound to return without success today.

Only a loud whistle sounded, and the killers in black began to retreat while fighting. Chu Xuanzhao and Shen Qingjun discovered this, and ordered the guards to stop chasing, and the killers quickly retreated like a tide just like when they came. .

Shen Qingjun turned his head, looked straight at the direction where Dongfang Ce was hiding, and curled his lips slightly.

"It's you." Dongfang Ce used his internal strength to condense his voice into a thread.

"it's me."

Dongfang Ce received an affirmative answer, waved his hand, and quickly left with his killers.

The two parties had agreed that there would be no compromise in mission conflicts. However, if the mission target itself was the master of the Chenyin Pavilion, it would be another matter.

"Is it Dongfang Ce?" Chu Xuanzhao asked.

"Ah."

"He knows your identity, will he?" Chu Xuanzhao was a little worried.

"Dongfang Ce is a killer by nature. He never cares about things that have nothing to do with transactions, let alone reveal anything to others." Shen Qingjun said lightly.

"You seem to know him very well? It's only the third time you've met him, right?" For some reason, hearing Shen Qingjun's evaluation of Dongfang Ce, Chu Xuanzhao felt a little uncomfortable.

"Besides, all he knows is that the Pavilion Master of Chenyin Pavilion is with you. As for who the Pavilion Master is, he still doesn't know anything about it." Shen Qingjun didn't find the meaning in Chu Xuanzhao's words, and continued Speak your mind.

…………

"My lord, there's news from Dongfang Ce..." Liu Feng hesitated after receiving the news, he didn't know if the lord would get angry if he found out.

"what news?"

Seeing Liu Feng's appearance, Chu Xuanqing probably guessed that it was definitely not good news.

"Dongfang tricked him, he canceled the deal." Liu Feng gritted his teeth, and finally got the words out of his mouth.

"what?!"

Chu Xuanqing slapped the table with his palm, causing Liu Feng to shrink his neck subconsciously, and immediately knelt down on the ground with a plop, not daring to look up at him.

Chu Xuanqing slowed down, and asked in a low tone: "Do you know the reason?"

Liu Feng didn't dare to raise his head, so he lowered his head and replied: "He didn't say anything in the letter, he just said that he rejected the deal. Do you want to ask him about it?"

"No need." Chu Xuanqing rubbed his forehead. Since Dongfang Ce didn't say anything, if he asked him again, he would definitely not be able to find anything. Now that he still needs Xueyuan, he can't do anything to Xueyuan.

What kind of ability does this Chu Xuanzhao have to make Dongfang Ce give up the deal?Or, the person he brought?

After passing the Guanshan Valley, the road to the north is smooth. If this opportunity is lost, it will be even more difficult to kill him again.

As he got closer and closer to the capital, he couldn't send people to deal with him.Once it gets the attention of others, maybe the father will also get the news.He can't take that risk yet.

However, King Teng was a little unwilling after all, and clenched his fists bitterly, "Chu Xuanzhao, I see if you can continue to pretend to be your romantic prince when you come back, we will wait and see!"

…………

After Chu Xuanzhao and the others cleared up the mess in the valley, they quickly continued on the road.The return trip was not like the trip to the mountains and rivers when I came here. Although I did not rush, I still rushed every day at dawn and rested at dusk. After several days of rushing like this, the carriage slowly entered Beijing. within the suburbs.

"Not far ahead, we are about to enter the capital, and finally came back here smoothly. Even if King Teng wants to do something, it is impossible." Chu Xuanzhao opened the curtain and looked at the familiar scenery outside, feeling lighthearted a bit.

"Ah."

"Qingjun, have you ever been to the capital?" His grandfather had encountered such a thing, and he didn't like the court dignitaries. If he wanted to come, he hadn't, right?

"came."

"came?"

"Well. At that time, the pavilion was chasing and killing a flower picker who went around committing crimes. This pavilion once settled in the capital." In fact, it is more than that. As the capital of a country, Kyoto naturally has a branch pavilion of Chenyin Pavilion.

"Oh, then it must be because I don't have time to enjoy the scenery of the capital. This time I can take a walk with you."

Shen Qingjun didn't comment, picked up the teacup and moistened his lips.

Seeing his movements, Chu Xuanzhao suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but he didn't feel any better.

"That's mine." Shen Qingjun looked at him a little strangely, what's wrong with this man, can he take the wrong cup?

"Oh, shall I change the cup for you?" Chu Xuanzhao didn't know what was wrong with him. It was an easy matter, but when it came to him, he became a little flustered.

"no need."

No?Doesn't he dislike himself for using it?

"It's time to enter the city, let's drink tea after getting out of the car." Shen Qingjun didn't think there's anything wrong with not drinking for a while, anyway, it's almost here.

After hearing his words, Chu Xuanzhao's eyes darkened, and he didn't speak any more.

…………

"My lord, you are back." As soon as he entered the Prince Xin's mansion, Feng Er greeted him early, "The emperor heard the news of your return to the capital, and asked Director Cui to pass a password to order you to enter the palace at night."

"Well, I got it." Chu Xuanzhao turned around and asked Shen Qingjun to get off the carriage, "This is Mr. Mo Yuan, and he is a distinguished guest of this king. You must treat him well. After Mr. Mo Yuan's daily life, you, Feng Er, will take care of him personally." Responsible."

"Yes."

Even if Director Cui didn't deliver the decree, Chu Xuanzhao would definitely go to see the emperor when he came back, and the emperor wanted to ask about the southern tour face to face.

Chu Xuanzhao lured Shen Qingjun into the palace, and introduced the halls and corridors to him one by one.

The two walked through a pair of small red-painted doors, and entered the backyard of the palace, where several small houses were located.

Chu Xuanzhao stopped in his tracks, feeling a little hesitant for a while, only feeling his face was a little hot, seeing Shen Qingjun looking at him, he regained his composure, and said slowly, "Here, the people living in these small houses are all Some beauties are sent by others, some are purely for wooing, some are someone else's eyeliner planted in the palace..."

Chu Xuanzhao raised his eyes and took a peek at his face, seeing that he didn't answer, he was a little impatient for a moment, "However, I have arranged for them to stay and I have never entered the small house, I just took care of their food and lodging, and never touched them!"

Shen Qingjun glanced at him sideways, not understanding what he was anxious about, "You have your own reasons, and I won't interfere. You don't need to explain these to me, do you?"

"I, I just don't want you to misunderstand." Chu Xuanzhao also didn't understand. For nearly ten years, he had shown his romance to others, and never cared about what others said, but when he thought of Shen Qingjun's opinion, he couldn't wait to want to Explain clearly, from the bottom of my heart, I don't want him to misunderstand, and I don't want him to think that he is really so romantic.

He also felt that his words seemed a little wrong, so he added, "I don't want you to misunderstand that I am not worth helping."

"Who are you, I have my own judgment." Shen Qingjun naturally understood that his flirtatiousness was mostly for show, but it was difficult for him to refuse someone who sent someone over.Even some, even if they knew that the sent people had other purposes, they had to continue because of superficial efforts.

"Well. I rarely go into the backyard. I usually stay in the Jinxi Pavilion in front. Next to the Jinxi Pavilion is the Yazhu Pavilion. I have someone clean it up. You live there, Qingjun, right? Both of these are very far away from the study. It’s near, and it’s convenient for us to discuss things.”

"Well, you can arrange it." Shen Qingjun has no objection to this.
