Asking hexagram 20 taels

(47)

"Why are you here?" Tang Yuan also took out a fire bag from his pocket, and shook it, and the faint sparks ignited instantly, illuminating the blurred faces of the three in the darkness.

"Come to the capital to do something. How did you end up being hunted down so badly?"

"Hey," Tang Yuan sighed, and said, "It's a long story." As he spoke, he followed Shen Duan, who took a step ahead, and the light from the fire pocket in his hand shone on the earthen wall, creating a circular circle of light. "I'll tell you more about it later. Now I have to get out of the city quickly. Is there a way out of the city?"

"Now we are on the way out of the city," Shen Duan led the way, while raising his hand to cut off the roots and grass that came out of the wall twice, "This is the secret passage of Peach Blossom Valley in the capital, and there are almost no people except the people in the valley. People know, you can rest assured."

"Did Peach Blossom Valley's hand reach out to the capital? No wonder the emperor was so eager to take back the power of the rivers and lakes. It turns out that someone else has already slept peacefully beside the couch."

"It's not as serious as what Shaoxia said. I in Peach Blossom Valley only dare to reach out secretly, and I can't do anything more. This time, I just used it to get something for Cheng Qianjian."

"This secret passage leads directly to the outside of the city?"

"It leads directly to the hidden pile of Peach Blossom Valley outside the city."

Tang Yuan nodded, and then realized that there were three people walking in a line in such a dark tunnel, and no one else could see clearly even if he clicked ten or so times.On the other hand, Shen Duan, as if to keep them awake, asked a few more words: "Has Shaoxia encountered any difficulties? Why don't you just listen to me, maybe I can help, and Wang Shaoxia .”

Wang Chengqian seemed to be distracted so much that he didn't even hear Shen Duan calling him three times. It wasn't until Tang Yuan turned around and waved his hand in front of him that he woke up like a dream: "What's wrong?"

"Just now we were saying that if something happened to Tang Shaoxia, the young man would definitely help him, right? —Wang Shaoxia, be careful, this secret passage has been abandoned for many years, and Shen doesn't know if the disciples at that time were in secret. What is put in the road, most of it is drug or something, you must stay awake, and so does Tang Shaoxia." Shen Duan reminded.

"I'm not going to help. But if you'd like to speak up, I'll listen."

When did Wang Cheng add something that he couldn't say well, Tang Yuan pinched the corners of his brows, and said helplessly: "Then let me tell you two, it can be considered as a way to pass the time. Actually, there is nothing to say Yes, Yuan Xiao, ah, that is..."

"The reincarnated Yan Luo?" Wang Chengqian spoke up.

"He is well-known. He is the reincarnated Yan Luo. He was stationed in Gubei City recently, and he disappeared during the confrontation with the Dawan army. The defenders of Gubei City were leaderless and trapped in Gubei City. I went to Beijing this time to find the household department. In order to inquire about the supply of grain and grass in Chugubei City."

"How about it?"

Tang Yuan smiled wryly: "What else can I do?" Even a young master like Zhou Fu could betray him. His relationship in Beijing was either because he wanted to be a fringe person like Yang Xiang, who couldn't do his best, or he was like Zhou Fu was able to meddle in government affairs but was bought by the emperor long ago.As for the power of the aristocratic family headed by the Tang family, he didn't dare to come to the door at all, for fear of irritating the emperor and completely tearing apart the family at that time. The aristocratic family has been declining for so many years, and it is impossible to fight against the royal power.

There is only one left, and that is the Seven Kings.The power of the Seven Kings Party is gradually rising, and the harem is now in a mess because of many princesses who are on the side of the Seven Kings Party. For the current plan, only the Seven Kings can help him.

"I'm going to find the Seven Kings."

Shen Duan looked back at him in surprise: "You want to intervene in the struggle for the throne?"

"Now it's the form that forces me to take a position. If I don't stand with the Seven Kings, let alone help Shanggubei City, it will be difficult to protect myself."

Shen Duan nodded knowingly. Although Peach Blossom Valley has been in the Jianghu for a long time, the rumors in the Jianghu may not be unbelievable.Most of the Party of Seven Kings are generals leading the army. Although some of them no longer hold real power, it is still necessary for these veteran generals to speak out about the battle in Gubei City.Coupled with the attitude of the current emperor towards Tang Yuan, it seems that he is about to be arrested by order, even if Tang Yuan escapes, he will not be able to escape anywhere.

"The Seventh King is a good choice. Now the emperor holds [-]% of the power in the court, and [-]% of the power is held by the Seventh King. The power of your aristocratic family is biased towards the Seventh King. The Seventh King will definitely value you very much. You have to take advantage of the situation to propose a solid The things in Beicheng are not difficult to realize." Wang Chengqian said suddenly.

"Wang Shaoxia understands the court situation better than I do." Tang Yuan gave Wang Chengqian a thumbs-up. "That's right, so now I'm going to go to Princess Heshuo's fief and surrender to the Seven Kings."

"Who is Princess Heshuo?"

"Well, you don't need to know about the secrets of the palace." The three of them chatted, and the time passed quickly. Soon they reached the exit of the tunnel, and the sparse sunlight shone down from the top of the tunnel.

Tang Yuan looked around and saw that they were all built of blue stones, with wet and sticky moss growing between the stone slabs. Looking up, they were at least a dozen feet above the ground.

Shen Duan smiled at them apologetically: "The exit of this tunnel is an old well that has been abandoned for many years. The mouth of the well is not high. I believe the two young heroes will not be troubled."

Tang Yuan is good at lightness kung fu, so naturally he is not afraid of the height of only a few dozen feet. Although Wang Chengqian is not proficient in lightness kung fu, there are many places between the bluestones for footholds, so naturally he jumped up very easily.

The dry well was surrounded by luxuriant grass, and tall trees surrounded the old well they were in. From here, they couldn't see what was outside the forest at all.

Tang Yuan looked around and said, "Beishan? It just so happens that there is no need to make another detour. The two young heroes will meet later." After that, he clasped his fists, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait," Wang Chengqian followed him suddenly, "I'll go with you." Seeing Tang Yuan's puzzled eyes, he explained again, "Zhao En has returned to Dawan, and I don't deserve to do it unless I kill him." Cheng Qianjian." The sword in his hand buzzed and vibrated as if responding to his words.

"Then what about your Eight Winds Villa?"

Shen Duan also caught up, just in time to hear Tang Yuan asking this question, looked at Wang Chengqian in embarrassment, Wang Chengqian shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said, "Speak."

Only then did Shen Duan sigh, and recounted the matter of Bafeng Villa: "...that's what happened, Wang Shaoxia gave Bafeng Villa to others. Wang Shaoxia said that he would wholeheartedly avenge his father, Bafeng Villa is now The owner of the villa is a disciple who was guarding the gate at Bafeng Villa."

"The gatekeeper?" Tang Yuan squeezed his fingers, and couldn't help but think of the strange-looking disciple of the gatekeeper in Bafeng Villa.Should it be here?That face who has been rich and smooth all his life will naturally not be a janitor disciple for a lifetime, but he has not been promoted for several years. At that time, Tang Yuan felt strange. It turned out that he was going to ascend to the sky here.

"What about you, Shen Duan?"

"Ms. Shen? Ms. Shen has to go back to Peach Blossom Valley quickly. After being out for so long, the disciples in the valley must not be used to it. ——If the young hero wants to wipe out the lackeys of the imperial court in Wuwei Pavilion one day, please let me palm his eyes first. The person I want to kill might be hiding inside."

"I see. Isn't this the ultimate goal of our transaction? Don't worry Shen Shaoxia, the people in the Wuwei Pavilion, whoever has a life on their hands, can't escape."

"There will be a period later."

"There will be a period later."

After the two people gave their farewells, one went south and the other went north, with their backs facing each other.Shen Duan was going to Luoyang Peach Blossom Valley, while Tang Yuan and Wang Chengqian were going all the way north, passing Princess Heshuo's fief, to Gubei City.

Princess Heshuo's fief is located in the west of the capital, less than two hundred miles away. At that time, the emperor had to give up this piece of fertile land in order to keep the Party of Seven Kings under his watchful eyes and give it to Princess Heshuo instead.

Later, Princess Heshuo married the son of a well-known local wealthy businessman.The son of a wealthy businessman is good at keeping his fortune, and he has respect for such a noble princess. After marriage, the couple can be regarded as harmonious and beautiful, respecting each other as guests.

It is well known that Princess Heshuo followed the Seven Kings back then. Although it is natural for them to have a good relationship between brothers and sisters, the emperor who was the eldest prince did not get the support of this princess when they were both brothers and sisters. Is there a secret.

Countless people have speculated about this matter, and some even said it with a nose and eyes, quite like the truth, but since Lai Yizhuang was destroyed, no one dared to make judgments about the royal family.

However, Tang Yuan met this Princess Heshuo at the Double Ninth Banquet last time, and he spoke no pretense to the queen, and there was even a bit of tit-for-tat in his words.Later, I learned from other places that the queen was also a supporter of the Seven Kings before, but she turned her back. It seems that Princess Heshuo had a friendship with the queen.

Does that mean that Princess Heshuo is still in contact with the Seven Kings?

What's more, if the Seven Kings want to rise again now, they must use the previous people. People like Princess Heshuo who can live well after his defeat are undoubtedly the most useful people. The attitude of the seven kings can also entrust the matter of food and grass to the seven kings by the way.

"Princess Heshuo is my best choice now. The land in the fief is fertile, and this year's grain harvest is bumper. They must have a lot of grain in storage. With the current position of the Seven Kings, he will definitely help me solve the grain problem very generously."

"The problem of food and grass has been solved?"

"Immediately go north. I don't believe that Yuan Xiao just disappeared like this. He must be in Dawan, but it's just not convenient to show up." Yuan Xiao's martial arts are no less than his own, even though Tang Yuan is unwilling to admit, Xiao's martial arts is even higher than his.How could it disappear without a sound?There must have been some inconvenient situations.

Thinking of this, he clamped the horse's belly hard again, the horse suddenly picked up speed, he tightened the rein, and looked forward firmly.

Yuan Xiao, you must persevere and wait for me to be your life-saving hero.
