Tumi's Salvation Credit

Chapter 108 Mountains and Flowing Water (9)

Qingmang Mountain has dangerous peaks, majestic and majestic. Although the scenery is beautiful, it is rarely visited because of its remote location and steep mountains. It has always been a scenic spot in the works of literati.

Ever since the Guiyun Palace, which could dominate the rivers and lakes, appeared in Qingmang Mountain, the scenic beauty of Xianshan Mountain has become hazy, strange and dangerous.

All the subordinates of Guiyun Palace are strong in martial arts and do things domineeringly. They don't regard themselves as righteous in the martial arts. He has become a wicked and ruthless character, and no one dares to provoke him easily.

======

There was a burst of dust on the road at the foot of the mountain, and the horses were divided into two groups, one fleeing and the other chasing, galloping past.

In front were two guards guarding an eight or nine-year-old boy in brocade clothes, and behind him were seven or eight black-clothed bandits chasing him closely.

The two guards were all in a state of distress, their clothes were stained with blood. It could be seen that they had gone through a fierce fight. Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, the two of them suddenly dismounted from their horses, picked up the young man in brocade clothes and climbed up the mountain along a steep path. .

The leader behind whistled, and all the men in black got off their horses and followed closely along the mountain path.

The two guards took turns carrying the young master on their backs and ran up the mountain with all their strength. Sitting down exhausted, panting relatively, wishing to stick out his tongue.

A group of men in black chased to the opposite side of the mountain stream and stopped. They seemed to be scrupulous, and they didn't chase directly, but were discussing something in a low voice.

Although the young boy was dressed in brocade clothes and dressed as a young prince, he was still a child, and his legs were weak from fright. At this moment, he even spoke softly, as if he was afraid of being shocked by the pursuers who were close at hand, and asked in a trembling voice. , "Zhang Weiwei, will they come after you right away?"

The guard surnamed Zhang knew that the little master was afraid and wanted to run again, but he and another companion had reached the limit of being able to escape here, and they had no strength to move anymore, so they gasped and comforted, "It's okay, Your Highness Fifth, this is already the boundary of Guiyun Palace on Qingmang Mountain, outsiders dare not make trouble here without authorization!"

The other guard took out his whistle from his pocket without making a sound, and blew it, the whistle was sharp and spread far away.

The men in black on the opposite side of the mountain stream were still hesitating whether to come over, but at this moment, stimulated by the whistle, they immediately made up their minds, wanting to make a quick decision, and climbed up the rope bridge one by one.

The young boy known as His Highness Fifth cried out in surprise, and the two guards stood in front of him with gritted teeth and raised their weapons.

It was a critical moment, and a few long and short signals came from an unknown place on the mountain, followed by an echoing whistle not far away, and several figures flew past like lightning. Come on, the first person shouted and asked in a deep voice, "Who is so bold, dare to come to the boundary of Guiyun Palace to make trouble, don't you want to die!"

The guard surnamed Zhang hurriedly responded loudly, "We were chased and killed by gangsters. We ran here unintentionally in a panic. We did not intend to harass you. Please forgive me!"

The leader snorted, apparently not believing it, "How did you know how to blow the whistle to warn you when you fled here unintentionally?"

A person behind him stabbed him, and said in a low voice, "Don't meddle in other people's business, the whistle is from Guiyun Palace, there must be no fake, these people may have some history, just take it back and report it to the higher authorities for a decision!"

People from Guiyun Palace made a move, and those black gangsters didn't dare to blatantly hurt people in other people's places, they discussed in a low voice, said a few polite words, and then left with their hands folded.

His Highness Fifth and two guards were brought back to Guiyun Palace.

His Royal Highness is still a child after all, he doesn't quite understand the situation in front of him, and he is still afraid in his heart, but before he came out, his mother and concubine had earnestly told him that the two guards Zhang and Du were his own, and he should listen to them in case of emergency, so he followed guard Zhang closely Beside, never leave.

First, he was taken to the middle of the mountain and waited for a while, and someone uploaded a message to report.

Not a moment later, an important person in Guiyun Palace passed on a message, and the five guards, His Royal Highness and Zhang Du, were brought to Guiyun Palace.

Guiyun Palace is located in the depths of Qingmang Mountain, the road is dangerous, there are many organs along the way, and the guards are heavily guarded. It is a very mysterious place in the eyes of outsiders. The person who leads the way has a serious face, and the two guards lead the Fifth Highness. Be careful.

His Highness Fifth was affected by the atmosphere of the people around him, and he was a little nervous. He couldn't help but gently tugged on Guard Zhang's sleeve, and asked softly in a childish, old-fashioned tone, "Is the enemy unknown? Is it safe for us to follow these people?"

Zhang Shiwei squeezed his little hand and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Your Highness Fifth. Before leaving, the imperial concubine and empress have ordered that Your Highness will pass by the Qingmang Mountain during this tour. If you have any difficulties, you can ask Guiyun Palace for help. Guiyun Palace Surely the Lord will take care."

His Highness Fifth said softly "Oh", and then he was relieved.

He was hunted down and ran all the way for his life. By this time, he was at the end of his strength. Once he relaxed, he couldn't hold on anymore. He gradually couldn't keep up with the people in front. The guard surnamed Du carried him on his back.

Although His Highness the Fifth Prince is a prince, he has not been pampered so much that he does not know the dangers of the world. On the contrary, because of the vicious infighting in the palace, he has developed a very vigilant character through his experience since he was a child, and he is much more mature and alert than ordinary children.

At this time, just out of danger, I dare not indulge myself. I think in my heart that I will not sleep, just close my eyes and rest for a while. Unfortunately, the young body keeps commanding and becomes independent, almost closing my eyes. I fell asleep in an instant.

After a dark and sweet sleep, I don't know how long I slept, and then I opened my eyes, everything around me has changed drastically, it is no longer a rugged and steep mountain road, but sleeping in a very elegantly furnished room.

He called out twice, but no one answered, His Highness Wu woke up, feeling frightened in his heart, jumped out of bed barefoot and ran outside, he was stunned when he came out, and found himself in a place like a fairyland.

Everything around is not so luxurious and rich, but it is far better than luxury and rich.

Green pines and verdant cypresses set off an elegant house, a few pruning bamboos, Dingdong springs meanderingly flowing, with curved stone bridges and octagonal gazebos with vermilion roofs erected on the water, and cranes strolling leisurely under the large green banana leaves. He is not afraid of people, and he is still the same when seeing His Royal Highness go out.

A very melodious and melodious piano sound came from the pavilion not far away. His Highness the Fifth Highness had never heard such a beautiful piano music in the palace, so he walked towards the pavilion involuntarily.

When he got closer, he could see clearly that there was a man of extraordinary appearance sitting in the gazebo, playing the piano.

Opening her small mouth slightly, she stared blankly at the figure in white clothes and jade belt in the pavilion, which did not look like a mortal figure. For some reason, a story "The Story of the Autumn Old Man Meeting the Immortal" that his mother and concubine told him before going to bed when he was young suddenly appeared in his heart. I deeply feel that what I saw and heard today can also make up "The Story of the Five Princes Meeting the Immortals".It's just that what Qiuweng met was a female fairy, and what he met was a male fairy.

The man in the pavilion stopped pressing the strings, and his eyes as black as spots of paint swept over the Fifth Prince, "Your Highness is awake, how do you feel? It's cold on the mountain, are you cold? Are you hungry? I have already sent someone to give you a cup of tea." Prepare clothes and dinner, and they will be delivered later."

As soon as the beautiful celestial being opened his mouth, he ate and dressed, and he didn't have bigu elixir, silk gauze clothes and other illusory things. The fifth prince also cleared his mind, returned to the mortal world, straightened his small body, and replied in a regular manner, "It's okay." , Where is this place, where are my two guards?"

The man looked calm, "This is my residence, and your two guards were injured a little bit, I asked someone to take them down to heal their injuries."

The fifth prince opened his eyes wide, "Then you are—?"

The man nodded towards him, "I am Fan Rong, the Lord of Guiyun Palace!"

The fifth prince is still a child at heart, although he tried his best to pretend to be mature, but he still opened his mouth, "You are the legendary Lord of Guiyun Palace that no one has ever seen before! You are so beautiful, I-I still A person who thinks that the Palace Master is so powerful must be an old man!"

The corners of Fan Rong's lips curled up, as if he wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh in the end, and he still had the calm and airy look of an expert, "I'm going to disappoint Your Highness, I'm not as old as you think."

The fifth prince quickly shook his head, "No, no, you look better like this!" said a little shyly, "I like you like this better."

Fan Rong's indifferent expression finally showed a trace of interest, "Why?"

The fifth prince couldn't answer for a moment, his little face flushed red, and he couldn't say why it would be better if the Master of Guiyun Palace wasn't an old man, but he just intuitively thought that if it was the legendary Palace Master of Guiyun Palace, he would be like a fairy. Of course, the beautiful characters in this book are more imposing and heart-wrenching than the powerful old man.

He had never seen such an outstanding person, so even though he blushed, he couldn't bear to take his eyes away from Fan Rong, and just stared at him bewilderedly.

Fan Rong on the opposite side also became very interested in him - this little guy looks so much like Hao Yu, almost carved out of the same mold, the only difference is that one is older and majestic, and the other is young and naive.

If it was said that Haoyu had persecuted Fan Rong back then, and he was considered half an enemy, then the time has passed now.

The most difficult thing in the world is true love. His Majesty's true love for him later was not false, it was truly from the heart, and this alone can make Fan Rong no longer hold grudges against him.

It's just that although I don't hate him anymore, I don't love him either. When I think of Hao Yu by accident these years, my heart is filled with sadness.

Now facing the naive Haoyu in a small size, the sense of loss in his heart finally disappeared, and he couldn't help but want to bully him.

The older one had bullied him, and later treated him so well that it was impossible for him to take revenge. Now the younger one who "bullyed and bullied" who looked exactly the same, had paid off his father's debt.

Without moving his expression, he suddenly got up and stepped forward, bent down and picked up the young Highness who was still blushing and dazed, "The two guards of His Highness need to recuperate from their injuries, and they can't leave these days. You can follow me these few days."

As a result, the subordinates of Guiyun Palace had their jaws dropped for several days—the cold and aloof Palace Master of their family who had been cold and aloof for thousands of years changed his previous image, and began to bully and bully a child with a blank expression every day.

His Majesty's mother and concubine was that Sun Fangyi back then. Zhou Yin had promised to save people to the end, so Fan Rong also kept his promise. Ask yourself for help.

Because the Fifth Highness is the child that Fan Rong spent a lot of effort to protect, Hao Yu loves Wu and Wu, and has been partial to him in recent years.

It's just that since ancient times, the harem has not been a simple place. Although Haoyu loves the fifth prince, he can't block everything for him. The only thing he can do is not to show his love too much, lest he become a target of public criticism.

Concubine Sun Gui is also a sensible person. There was no way she was threatened and used when she was pregnant with a child. Since she was lucky enough to save her life, she must be careful in every step and step, so as not to make mistakes again.The fifth prince was taught by her to be young and mature, and he never regarded himself as a child.

Now suddenly meeting the Master of Guiyun Palace who bullied him like a child everywhere, he was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to react, so he had to put on a small face and show a blank expression from morning to night, which was unexpected. Rong's face was very similar to that of aloofness and indifference, people who didn't know the situation thought that the palace lord had an illegitimate son.

Fortunately, although the Fifth Highness was teased and bullied like a child, he didn't mind at all.

He and Haoyu father and son are of the same mind, and their eyes are very consistent. They both think that Fan Rong is a rare beauty. , thinking that this is the most beautiful person I have ever met in my life, so although I looked serious after being bullied, I was actually not angry at all.

After a few days like this, a disciple from Guiyun Palace came to report that General Han Ziqi led a large team to the foot of Qingmang Mountain, saying that he was here to welcome His Highness the Fifth Highness.

Fan Rong's eyes flickered, "General Han——"

Raising his hand, he poked the Fifth Prince's chubby cheek with baby fat, "Why is General Han here?"

His Highness the Fifth Highness had a small face, and he didn't complain when he was poked. He just replied like a little adult, "General Han went to inspect the Qingling area, and my father said that I could follow him for a tour. A few days ago, General Han was on business. I rushed to Qingsha County ahead of time, and the guards and I walked slowly behind, not wanting to encounter bad guys on the way, and be chased here. I think General Han has got the news and came back to find me."

Fan Rong poked at the same place on his face again, "Then he came looking for you, will you follow him?"

His Highness the Fifth Prince was already sitting side by side with Fan Rong, but at this moment he leaned towards him unobtrusively, "I'll stay with you for another day, let's go the day after tomorrow."

Fan Rong was playful, and looked at him lightly, "No, I don't need your little thing to accompany me, besides, General Han has already gone to the foot of the mountain to ask for someone, if I stay with you for another day, maybe he will misunderstand me and detain the prince privately. There are other plans. I returned to Yungong to save the prince this time, not to detain the prince privately, if I am misunderstood, it is really not worth it!"

His Highness the Fifth Prince squeezed closer to Fan Rong without any trace, and took a deep breath. To him, although Fan Rong was not a woman and had no fragrance on her body, it was probably because she lived in such a fairyland like Qingmang Mountain all year round. So, there always seems to be some elegant smell of green pines and cypresses on the body, and the breath around the body is countless times more refreshing than the fragrance of women's powder, and I really feel a little bit reluctant.

However, he is very sensible and will not act capriciously. Although he was very reluctant to give up, he did not protest, but said very maturely, "That's fine, just follow what the Palace Master said."

Fan Rong felt that this young man looked very much like Hao Yu, and when he saw it, he wanted to hit him twice, so he poked again bluntly.

The subordinate who reported the matter saw that their Palace Master poked the same place on His Highness's face three times. Although he didn't use heavy hands, his strength was not weak. His white and tender face was obviously red, which was very big. Suspected of bullying.

This situation looked very strange, as if the older one was a child, throwing a temper tantrum and bullying others, while the younger one seemed to be tolerant of the elders, and tolerated him with a good temper.

However, both the senior and the junior were still very serious, as if they were not the ones who made such childish actions, so the subordinate had to try his best to lower his head, so as not to let the palace lord see the horrible expression on his face.

Fan Rong ordered people to call Zhang and Du's two guards, and said to His Royal Highness, "When you go back, don't tell anyone that you saw me."

The Fifth Highness was taken aback, "Can't you mention General Han and Emperor Father?"

Fan Rong nodded.

His Highness Fifth was a little disappointed, because he was a child who kept his promise to his own people, and he couldn't guarantee if he would leak his words if he was constantly questioned after he returned, so he didn't say anything.

Fan Rong didn't take it seriously either, and after the two guards Zhang and Du were brought, he ordered them to take the Fifth Highness down the mountain immediately, and General Han was already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.

His Highness the Fifth Prince was reluctant to part with him. Before he left, he finally couldn't help it. He hugged Fan Rong's waist expressionlessly and rubbed it in his arms to show his closeness. His Highness actually rubbed his emotions, and laughed, "What? Are you still reluctant to part with me?"

His Highness Fifth gave a very soft hum, then turned and left with Zhang Du and the two guards.

The subordinates of Guiyun Palace rarely saw the palace lord smiling like this, so they couldn't help but persuade, "If the palace lord likes that child, why not keep him."

Fan Rong shook his head, "No need, I promised to take care of their mother and son. This time he was in danger on the road, just save him and go back. After all, he is the prince, so it would be troublesome to stay."

The subordinate was worried, "But your Highness is so young, it is inevitable that your whereabouts will be leaked after returning home."

Fan Rong brows with a bit of arrogance, "It's best if he doesn't say it out, it's okay if he really does, it's not enough to worry me."

His martial arts skills are extremely high, and his actions are domineering. The disciples of Guiyun Palace have always respected their palace lord like a god. Hearing what he said, they resigned with confidence.

His Highness the Fifth Prince tried his best to follow Fan Rong's instructions. After seeing Han Ziqi, he simply said that he met a bandit on his way and was rescued by Guiyun Palace. Because both guards were injured, he was delayed in Guiyun Palace. a few days.

Han Ziqi was busy tracking down the bandits, and he had already found out that the person who pretended to be a bandit to assassinate His Highness the Fifth Highness was Tao Ran, the King of Loyalty!

One of the emperor's concubines wanted to kill another concubine's son. If it was in an ordinary family, Han Ziqi would definitely sneer at the man who couldn't manage his family well, even his wives. But in the royal family, he has no right to question it. , so although this matter is really annoying, he can't ignore it.

Speaking of which, Tao Ran's younger sister, Concubine Tao Gui, finally gave birth to a fragile little prince a year ago. The child has not yet grown up, and Tao Ran, who has been dormant for several years, can't sit still, and starts to move around again, setting out to ascend the throne for his nephew exclude others.

His Majesty, after the great victory in the Southern Expedition led by Han Ziqi and Wei Sihou a few years ago, had the opportunity to take the loyalty and border king Tao Ran to the end, but for some reason he stopped halfway and left behind his lineage. power.

Perhaps His Majesty was also afraid of Han Ziqi, fearing that he would grow up to become the second Tao Ran, so he simply kept Tao Ran who was already a bit depressed, and let the two of them restrain each other.

From Han Ziqi's point of view, His Majesty Hao Yu seems to like to use checks and balances the most, not only in the court, but also in the harem.

Cultivate a few factions of considerable power, let them fight back and forth, His Majesty only watches from the sidelines, and does not intervene until one side is too strong and is about to dominate the family.

Han Ziqi didn't dare to compliment His Majesty's checks and balances. He secretly thought that it would be fine to use it in the previous court, but he also used it against his wife and children in the harem, which is really not very manly.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it might be because Hao Yu really didn't take these women seriously and didn't want to spend more time and energy on them, so he used this labor-saving method of letting them restrain each other. , Hao Yu will definitely not be willing to use this to him, and for that person, His Majesty must cherish him so much that it is too late...

Slightly shaking his head, he vaguely heard the fifth prince asking his accompanying mother, "Mom, I remember you said that you met the famous Consolation Marquis Fan Rong, what do you think of him?"

Mo Momo was sent by Concubine Sun Guifei to take care of the fifth prince. She lost her little master a few days ago and was almost scared out of her wits. She was so happy to see him back at this time. She answered all questions and said patiently, "How is your highness?" Thinking about asking this? Wei Sihou is a great person, how can we talk about it easily, besides, he usually doesn’t talk to us, I can’t say what kind of person he is, but Fan Hou was really a real person back then. The beauty is peerless, no one can compare to it!"

His Highness the Fifth Highness felt deeply that he had found a confidant, and replied in a joyful tone that he thought he had concealed well, "Well, I feel the same way."

======

After returning to the palace, facing his mother and concubine, His Highness the Fifth Highness could not be so perfunctory.

After Sun Guifei inquired carefully about the situation along the way, she felt that the Qingmang Mountain section was very problematic. After further investigation, the young Fifth Highness couldn't bear it, so she had to tell the section about meeting Fan Rong. Tongue out, "He won't let me tell people about seeing him when I come back."

Concubine Sun Gui was a little agitated, and complained casually, "So you planned to hide it from your mother and concubine at first!"

At this time, there was no one in front of the two of them, so His Royal Highness returned to his childish nature, pulled his concubine mother to act like a spoiled child, and dragged his voice, "Oh, concubine mother, I can't help it."

Concubine Sun nodded his head, "Okay, I know you are in trouble, so don't mention this matter to others, especially your father!"

His Highness the Fifth Prince blinked, innocently, "Why? I heard that Father used to like him very much!"

Sun Guifei sighed, the fairy-like beauty that lingered in her mind from time to time seemed to appear in front of her eyes again. She was almost killed by this deep palace that eats people and does not spit out bones. It was the man who stepped forward to rescue him regardless of previous suspicions.That person's voice and smile, and even the few warm words and comforts she had given were deeply hidden in her heart, and she would never forget them, so she would definitely help cover up what that person didn't want others to know.

What's more, it was very difficult for Marquis Consolation to leave at the beginning. Although His Majesty kept the specific news tightly sealed, there were still a few words that came out that Marquis Consolation Fan Rong fell out with His Majesty back then, and it was because of his kung fu that he broke through the copper wall and iron wall blocked by the guards. out!The only strange thing is that the trouble has reached such a point, but no one was killed!With Wei Sihou's extremely powerful kung fu, a group of guards insisted on stopping him, but he forced his way out, he would have to be killed until blood flowed into rivers, but it is said that none of the guards died, not even seriously injured. I don't know which one, Wei Sihou or His Majesty, backed down first.

The fifth prince was attacked on the way. Although it was dangerous at the time, he was fine. After the incident, there was no real evidence that King Zhongyi secretly sent someone to assassinate him. After a few months, he had to let it go.

The front court of the harem has returned to the previous situation where it was calm on the surface, but the various factions were fighting endlessly in the dark.

Everyone else returned to their original state, only General Han, who is now at the height of his power in the court, refused to stop. After settling down the matter at hand, he hurried to Qingmang Mountain alone.

Before leaving, he said angrily to his lieutenant general, "Someone made a bold statement a few years ago, saying that he was going to take this general by force, and I made this general take it seriously and waited for him. After I said it, there was no more movement, it is really unreasonable! This general is going to ask face to face, is he still robbing or not? If he doesn’t rob, I will replace him!"

The lieutenant accidentally dropped his jaw, "Ah——!!!?"
