Changle Floating Life

Ye Jianqing didn't know that the day before they left Xuzhou, Zuo Fengmian escorted Li Zhiwei, Yuan Huaike and others to leave first, and they took the waterway.

The black armored army was majestic and organized, escorting four or five prison cars through Xuzhou City, preparing to take a boat to the north at the Tianning Temple Palace outside the north gate.The people in Xuzhou watched enthusiastically, even more excited than seeing Ning God of Wealth marrying his daughter that day.I don't know who started it first, cursing "corrupt officials", this sentence seems to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and immediately there are overwhelming voices of scolding and spurning.Some people simply set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Li Zhiwei, the once majestic parent officer, had a pale face and disheveled hair sitting in the prison car, covered in rotten vegetables, rotten leaves, and leftovers.When he arrived at the pier, Li Zhiwei got out of the prison car and changed to a larger boat on a small sampan. Looking at the surging canal water under his feet, with tears in his old eyes, he said to himself: "Water can carry a boat and capsize it. The officialdom is vast, just like the sea of ​​bitterness."

Zuo Fengmian watched coldly, knowing that his tears did not come from his heart, and most of them were hypocritical, so he couldn't help but said: "When you drink water, think of the source, Mr. Li knew why he had to do it today. Selling officials as goods, only the emperor has, and only the emperor can sell Mr. Li thought he had a backing, but it was actually just an iceberg."

Li Zhiwei glanced at him indifferently, dragging the shackles and boarding the boat.

Zuo Fengmian stared at his subordinates as they escorted the criminals onto the boat one by one.The last one brought over was Zhao Nanxing, who was full of filial piety. He had no shackles on his body, but was held hostage by two big men on one left and one on the right.Zuo Fengmian smiled all over his face, and said: "Young Master Zhao has been wronged. Miss Ning, ah no, Mrs. Zhao has not recovered from her serious injuries. In this big case of the Ning family, it is hard for Young Master Zhao to avenge the grievance on his behalf."

Zhao Nanxing also looked at him, his gaze was like a thorn.

Using cruel officials to rule corrupt officials and frame Luo Zhi has existed since ancient times.But after the corrupt officials fell, people could not see justice.This is the speed of doing things on an oblique path, regardless of the confusion of losing the way.

Seeing his disgusted expression, Zuo Fengmian didn't get angry, he somehow remembered what His Royal Highness Duan Wang said to him last night: We want to do great things, soldiers, punishments, money, grain, none of these should be handed over to others.Fengmian, I don't have many people I can use. You are smart and capable, and you are a talent to make.But shrewdness and hard work are not ruthless, I would rather you do things kindly and leave some leeway, than you would gnash your teeth and make enemies everywhere.

Gu Tingrang forced Pei Yongzhen to death, Zuo Fengmianzhang killed Yuan Shangqiu, these were not in Pei Zhaoye's plan.

Because the prisoner's parade the day before attracted too much attention, Ye Jianqing and the others did not cause much shock when they left the next day.Even so, under the dew in the early morning, people saw a young man in white, kneeling and sitting in a prison cart, so beautiful, they couldn't help pointing and discussing: "Which corrupt official's family is this? Why don't you learn something?"

Ye Jianqing was born in a brocade curtain and grew up in a pile of stringed songs. Never in his life had he suffered such a great humiliation.Listening to the whispers of pedestrians, my head is congested with blood, and my soul is nine days away.When he stopped to rest at noon, he was still in a daze, unable to believe what had happened, until Pei Zhaoye came over.

The place where they stopped to rest was an apricot grove.The apricot blossoms have all fallen, and the branches are covered with small green fruits.From a distance, Pei Zhaoye said to the left and right: "Open the prison car and put the Marquis of An Ning down."

As soon as the shackle was removed, Ye Jianqing lost his support, and Ye Jianqing's body became exhausted.Pei Zhaoye immediately flew up from the saddle, supported him with one hand, carried him off the prison car, and found a clean place under the apricot tree nearby.Qingyun rushed over, calling Ye Jianqing anxiously.

Ye Jianqing slowly came back to his senses.Pei Zhaoye took the water from his subordinates, fed him a few sips, and said, "What's wrong?" There was a crack in Ye Jianqing's wooden expression, and he raised his hand to push him away, and said, "What's wrong with you?" King Chengduan is very grateful for his care, and I will report back later."

Pei Zhaoye smiled wryly. How could he not hear the deep-seated hatred in his words, so he said softly: "Don't blame me, this is just a show for the southeast officials. Now that we are out of the border of Xuzhou, you and Qingyun will sit in my car." A buggy."

There was no trace of warmth in Ye Jianqing's eyes, and he said: "I am a criminal minister, and you are the prince, how can a criminal minister ride in the prince's carriage, and where should the court's laws be placed?"

Pei Zhaoye said: "Jianqing, are you angry with me? It's okay to be angry, but you just recovered from an illness, so you won't be overworked. It's safer to take a carriage."

Ye Jianqing was furious, and she grinned at him, showing her white teeth: "What's the point of being angry or not? You and I have different positions, and it's not about enmity. This is what I should have suffered. Kindness from King Duan , Forgive the sinners without blessings."

If we continue to talk about it, it will collapse.Pei Zhaoye thought that the journey is long, and there will always be times when he can't support it, so he stood up and said softly: "Okay, I won't force you, and you shouldn't force yourself either." He glanced at Qingyun when he left , that meant she was asked to take more care, Qingyun nodded slightly.

The ground is full of residual red, and the spring can't stay.After he walked away, Ye Jianqing's eyes turned red, and she finally shed tears.Qingyun didn't know what to say, and just waited silently.After a while, a boy servant came over with a delicate food box, saying it was lunch for the two of them.

Qingyun opened the lid of the lacquer box, feeling a bit dazed.Four dishes and one soup, stewed chicken with mushrooms, civet cat with pear strips, cold bamboo shoots, shredded pork belly with seaweed, blood powder soup, all of them are Ye Jianqing's favorite dishes, and they are still slightly steaming.This prison meal is too good, isn't it afraid that people will sit through the prison?Her heart trembled, but her expression remained calm. She tasted each dish carefully, and there was no peculiar smell, so she handed the chopsticks to Ye Jianqing.

Ye Jianqing stuffed food into his mouth mechanically.He shed tears while eating, thinking of how many state capitals Gan Jing had traveled before, how many people criticized and watched, and the meal was tasteless.When he was about to finish eating, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, and they rode one by one to the apricot tree here.

It was Gu Tingrang who came.This person recommended himself to the Princess Mansion about ten years ago. Because Pei Yongzhen felt that his origin was unknown, he didn't dare to use him much at first, and only let him work as a helper in the outer mansion.He is good at martial arts, humble and low-key, and has given a lot of good ideas for the princess mansion. Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and gradually the whole princess manor is wary.At that time, Jiang Xilie was away on business, and Steward Yang was alone among the salt merchants in Xuzhou. He was overwhelmed, so he asked Pei Yongzhen to report back, asking for someone to help him, and asked Gu Tingrang by name.In this way, Gu Ting let the name justifiably infiltrated into the Princess Zhenguo's mansion.

However, Pei Yongzhen still had scruples about him, and when Jiang Xilie came back, he excused that the young master was too old to be transferred and taught, so he was transferred back to Liushanzhuang.In the eyes of others, if you change to be a master next to Ya Nei, you will have a backer for the rest of your life.But Gu Tingrang knew that this was Mingsheng's demotion, so Pei Yongzhen couldn't worry about him.Fortunately, he was able to play tricks, so he found out a lot of ways when he returned to Liushanzhuang, and finally found out the secret room at the bottom of Xiaojing Lake, which was a drastic move.

Ye Jianqing and him had a mentor-student friendship for five or six years, and they got along very well. Seeing him at this moment felt sad and indignant.

Gu Tingrang was tall, with prominent cheekbones and sharp facial features. He walked over and glanced at the food box, and there was a malicious smile in his eyes.He cupped his hands and said: "Young Master, can you still bear it? Duan Wang wants me to persuade you, don't be temporarily arrogant. Hou Ye is delicate and expensive, and he is a relative of the emperor, so he must always take into account the dignity of the royal family."

He is not persuading people, it is clearly adding fuel to the fire.Ye Jianqing shot two angry glances in his eyes. Why did he think he was elegant and amiable before, and talked to him about everything, even never hiding from him the secret relationship with Yuan Shangqiu and Zhao Nanxing? He was clearly blind.Not only did he harm Yuan and Zhao's two friends, but even the princess' grandma was indirectly harmed by him.

Ye Jianqing endured the turmoil in his heart, looked up at him and said earnestly: "Mr. Gu, miss our master and apprentice, can you tell me how Mr. Yuan died?"

Gu Tingrang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that he was still thinking about Yuan Shangqiu and Zhao Nanxing, so he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's okay to tell you, Yuan Shangqiu was tortured and beaten by Zuo Fengmian on the day of Ning Bancheng's birth He died. I heard that he was unwilling to bite the Marquis even when he was about to die, so he signed the confession. Zuo Fengmian beat him to death in front of Zhao Nanxing. I didn't expect Yuan Huaike, a bastard, to have such a A righteous son."

Ye Jianqing trembled all over, and at the end, with a "wow", he vomited out all the food he had just eaten.Qingyun patted him on the back, looked up at Gu Tingrang.

When the blue light turned cold, Gu Tingrang stretched out his hand to touch his neck, feeling as if someone had put a knife on his neck just now, and unconsciously shrunk his neck slightly.He remembered that the one who often served Ye Jianqing was the pretty-looking Nuanxue, and the young master always liked smart ones, and he himself didn't care about the dumb Qingyun.

After Ye Jianqing vomited, she sat up, smiled miserably, and said to herself, "I knew Nan Xing would not slander me for no reason."

Gu Tingrang said with a smile: "Young Lord, I advise you to learn from Zhao Nanxing. You have to bow your head under the eaves. Or are you planning to go to Gan Jing Yujia to complain? I heard that Zuo Shaoqing showed you all the confessions After all, King Duan is doing it for your own good. This can be regarded as collusion. Anyway, Yuan Shangqiu is dead. Even if you bite him, the dead will not speak. You have fulfilled his desire to save you .”

"He would rather die than submit. How can I be greedy for life and fear death, and damage his reputation after death. Gu Tingrang, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing these things?"

Gu Tingrang laughed again as if he heard some joke.It turns out that he is a bold and unrestrained person who loves to laugh very much and has a lively expression, but because Pei Yongzhen likes reserved and reserved doormen, he has endured for ten years in the princess mansion. "There is no such thing as retribution from ghosts and gods in this world. Only foolish people believe in these things. Young Lord, instead of pinning your hopes on the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, you should think about what to say and do after thinking about Gan Jing."

So, he walked non-stop for four or five days, left the boundary of Yangzhou, and gradually entered Qingzhou.

Ever since Ye Jianqing heard about Yuan Shangqiu's death, as if she wanted to punish herself, she resolutely refused to get in the carriage, and stayed in the prison carriage every day, weathered by the wind and rain, haggard.Pei Zhaoye knew that he was always arrogant and could not be easily persuaded. He saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, so he didn't dare to look at it too much, and later he saw it less.

Because Ye Jianqing couldn't see him, he thought that he was really guilty and apologetic, and hated how many things he had done to the princess mansion in private, so he didn't allow Qingyun to mention the word "Duanwang".Only Qingyun knows that these days, the meals delivered are exquisite and delicious, even in the barren mountains, fresh dishes can be conjured up, steaming hot and packed in fresh containers.Even the water bowl that Ye Jianqing drank from was a glazed bowl with shallow edges, and the precious light flowed.Once Qingyun waited for Ye Jianqing to finish drinking water, curiously turned over the bottom of the bowl to have a look, and saw the word "Duan" rubbed on it, so he knew who owned it.

During the rest of the day, Pei Zhaoye was flipping through documents in the carriage, Gu Tingrang galloped to his window and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell."

Pei Zhaoye asked him to get into the carriage and talk.After Gu Tingrang came up, he simply said: "Your Highness, on the other side of the Marquis of Anning, you should be careful."

"What's the matter?" The second monk Pei Zhaoye couldn't figure it out, and asked, "What's wrong with Lord Hou?" If there is anything unusual, someone should tell him.

Gu Tingrang said: "I have also stayed in Liushanzhuang for five or six years. The Marquis of Anning's martial arts foundation is not bad, and his lightness kung fu is especially good. Ordinary shackles and shackles can't restrain him. He has suffered a catastrophe now, and he was stunned for a while. If After you figure it out, you may not be able to escape. The maid next to him might as well be transferred and held in her hands as a hostage."

When Pei Zhaoye heard him say that Ye Jianqing's lightness skills were good, he laughed because he remembered the figure that Ning Caishen's house was on fire that night, and the figure he saw in Wei Wanshan's house.With a long body and a slender waist, the flames formed a vortex around him, that man was like a phoenix in nirvana.

"He won't run away. If he really wants to run away, he won't care about the life or death of a maid."

Gu Tingrang said: "He doesn't want to escape, but he wants to prevent someone from robbing the prison."

Hearing this, Pei Zhaoye raised his eyebrows, and was a little moved: "According to Mr. Gu, what should we do?" The Princess Zhenguo's mansion has collapsed, but Yu Dang has to guard against it.

Gu Tingrang paid attention to his expression, and said: "I have two proposals, but King Duan is the one to do it. Ye Jianqing's martial arts was taught by Pei Yongzhen himself. Mingyue Liufeng's footwork, stepping on the snow without a trace, coming and going without a trace, but If the pipa bone is locked, and the Tiantu and Xuanji acupoints are closed, no matter how high his martial arts are, he will be hard to fly."

Pei Zhaoye's face darkened, thinking that this person was so vicious, how could his father keep him by his side, but he said: "It doesn't look good on him. Is there any other way?"

Gu Ting let his heart know that he would not allow it, so he grinned, took out a red pill from his pocket, and said: "This medicine is called Bixue Danxin, and it can restrain people's energy channels, but it does not harm the human body and is non-toxic. If Marquis An Ning takes it under him, he will lose all his martial arts and become like a useless person."

Pei Zhaoye thought for a while, took the pill, and asked, "Is it really harmless to the human body?"

Gu Ting let out of the carriage, and did not walk away immediately, but chatted with someone intentionally or unintentionally not far away.After half a cup of tea, he saw that the curtain of Pei Zhaoye's carriage had been lifted, and a hand was stretched out, as if he had thrown something casually on the ground.

You don't need to look to know, it's the pill just now.The corner of his mouth curled up, as if nothing happened, and he went back to chatting with people.

After walking in Qingzhou for two days, I gradually saw the remaining veins of Cangshan Mountain.There were thunderstorms in the afternoon and dark clouds billowed in the sky.Pei Zhaoye looked up at the sky and frowned at the front of the team.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning strikes in front of them, startling the men and horses to fly into the air, and the team is slightly scattered.At this moment, Pei Zhaoye heard a whistling sound, accompanied by thunder, coming from far and near.Gu Tingrang steered his horse forward and said loudly, "Your Majesty, be careful!" Pei Zhaoye was about to nod his head when he heard horses hissing and people roaring from the back of the team, and swords and swords blared.The two looked at each other, the roar was clearly coming from the front, why did someone appear behind?

The two rode their horses towards the prison cart behind, only to see the people behind turned their backs on their backs and made a mess.When the two of them rushed to the front, they saw a man in yellow shirt holding two knives in the crowd, surrounded the prison cart, and beat the black armor army to pieces.

Gu Ting asked Qing Xiao to stand up from his horse, and went straight to the man.I saw the lights of swords and swords bursting, Gu Tingrang's figure was light and agile, and his opponent's two swords were fierce, opening and closing with ease.

Where is it sacred?It turned out that there was only one person, and this group of black armored soldiers with clanging armor and swords shining like snow were defeated.

Pei Zhaoye raised his hand and said, "Bowmen!" As soon as he gave an order, the black armored soldiers in the outer circle responded one after another, untied the crossbows behind their backs, and pulled the bows and arrows.

Gu Tingrang was fighting fiercely with the other party beside the prison car. Hearing his voice, he obviously meant it as it should, but he still felt chills in his heart. Is this King Duan planning to shoot himself too? !

Thinking of this, he didn't bother to work hard any more, pulled a sword flower, withdrew from the formation, and jumped back to his horse.The crossbowmen aimed their arrows at the people in the field.

Only then did Pei Zhaoye see clearly that the person who came was a burly man, about forty years old, with a yellow beard and eagle nose, sharp eyes, and extremely powerful when looking forward.As soon as he separated from Gu Tingrang's moves, he jumped back onto the prison cart, struck down with both knives, chopped the wooden prison cart to pieces in the blink of an eye, took Ye Jianqing out with one hand, threw the knife on the ground, and put the knife on his neck.

Pei Zhaoye was a little confused about his background and intentions.Gu Tingrang clasped his hands and asked in accordance with Jianghu etiquette: "Who is your lord? Why do you want to rob the imperial court?"

The man laughed a few times, raised the knife in his hand, and removed the shackles from Ye Jianqing's neck with one move, and removed the iron shackles from his hands with another blow.His voice was hoarse, like the voice of cleaning the pot: "You are the one who forced Pei Yongzhen to death? Pei Haohao is also considered a hero among women, but he died at the hands of people like you."

"I'm next, Gu Tingrang."

The man smiled gruffly: "Your surname is Gu? You also deserve the surname Gu? You're so ridiculous!"

Pei Zhaoye only felt that when these three sentences came out, Gu Ting changed his entire aura, his face was as cold as ice, and the wind was blowing, he gnashed his teeth and said: "If I guessed correctly, your honor is the soul-breaking knife Saguangying. You stay here For many years in Mobei, he has already washed his hands in a golden basin, why bother to stir up this muddy water."

"The dry bones in the mound are nothing to worry about." Sa Guangying raised his eyelids to look at him, pointed to Ye Jianqing who was on the ground, and said, "His teacher is kind to me, so I want this brat."

Gu Tingrang raised his eyebrows and asked urgently: "Have you met the Xueshan faction, where and when? Is it Pei Yongzhen, or Gu Su wants you to save him?"

Saguangying didn't pay attention to him, dragged Ye Jianqing up, and said impatiently: "Hey, aren't you scared out of your wits? You can't even walk? Do you want grandpa to carry you?"

Ye Jianqing saw that he had a wicked look on his face, so he didn't believe that he came to save her, so she just shook her head and said, "I can't run away."

Saguangying wanted to be angry and laugh at the same time, patted his face with the back of the knife in his hand, scratched and said: "The face is so handsome, is it full of feces and urine in his head? Your grandma is dead, so what do you say? Under the nest, there are no eggs? The emperor is not a good guy, and you will die if you enter Beijing..."

When he scolded Emperor Taiping and insulted his father, Pei Zhaoye said, "This hero, the case against the Princess Mansion has not yet been handed over to the Tribunal for Trial. It is not a final case. But if you take him away, you will He fled in fear of crime, but he was convicted of treason."

He finally mentioned the word "conspiracy", Ye Jianqing's face turned pale, and he asked in a daze, "Is that really the case?"

Pei Zhaoye couldn't bear to look at him, and was about to say something when his face turned cold and his scalp went numb.He reacted very well, leaned over and rolled off the horse.The person who stabbed him turned out to be Qingyun with shackles on his hands, who had snatched a sword from someone.

Everyone turned pale.Gu Tingrang also looked away from Sa Guangying and Ye Jianqing.San Guangying shot like lightning, hit Ye Jianqing's acupoint, carried him on his shoulders, and after a while of killing, he headed towards Cangshan.

Gu Tingrang couldn't focus on chasing Thirty Guangying at this moment, King Duan's life was more precious than anyone else's, he drew his sword in his hand, but there was no way to kill him.

It turned out to be such a thing!No wonder Nuanxue jumped into the lake to die after ransacking the house, to make room for Qingyun to get to Ye Jianqing's side smoothly.The two sisters are both trained and taught by Pei Yongzhen himself. They are warm and beautiful, and they are the attractive figure around Ye Jianqing. The one who is really smart and not revealing, has high martial arts skills, and works at critical moments is the dull Qingyun!

After being slapped by Pei Yongzhen after his death, he was angry and annoyed, and he didn't care about Duan Wang's life or death. With a flick of his long sword, he attacked with a gesture of "Moon Shooting the Cold River".

Qingyun had fought against Pei Zhaoye, but at this moment, it seemed as if eyes had grown in the back of his head, he tilted his head back, and stabbed back with his long sword, this move was "Six Out Flying Flowers".Gu Ting made a secret sound, and changed his move midway, changing to "Wind back to the sea", and Qingyun responded with "Rainbow and rain".Gu Tingrang gritted his teeth and floated back Zhang Xu, using the move "Sunshine in the open sky", and Qingyun caught up with the move "Flying Dragon in the Sky".

When the two were fighting fiercely, Pei Zhaoye hurriedly arranged for people to chase after Ye Jianqing, just as he gathered them together, he suddenly heard Gu Tingrang scream: "Back!"

Pei Zhaoye suddenly remembered the scene in Duyue Hall, and also shouted: "Scatter!"

There was only a whistling sound, which was deafening, like a phoenix crowing and a crane screaming, a cloud of blood was shot out, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.Anyone who couldn't dodge was pierced by the blood sword, or a little blood was splashed on the face, leaving a hole, or pierced through the chest, or shot in the hands and feet, and fell to the ground to die.

The heavy rain poured down, washing blood everywhere.Looking at the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, Pei Zhaoye was chilled by the rain.

Seeing that he was standing still, Gu Tingrang heaved a sigh of relief, and sighed, "This is not a small loss."

Pei Zhaoye looked up at him, and said bitterly, "What kind of evil work is this?"

Gu Tingrang wiped the rain off his face, and said: "We all used the Snow Mountain School's Cold River Guying Sword just now. This last move is called Wanchuan Returning to the Sea. It uses our own flesh and blood to turn into thousands of sword qi, and die together with the enemy. As many drops of blood as there are, one can develop as many strands of sword qi. Pei Yongzhen has only reached this level, so why is this little girl so powerful. "

Pei Zhaoye was silent.

Gu Tingrang saw the ashen look on his face, and suddenly laughed strangely: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about your majesty's punishment. The Marquis of An Ning will come back. I knew that your lord was soft-hearted, and I had poisoned his meals before. Within half a year , it will be effective."
