Narcissus Self-Saving System

Xi Nan asked him, "Is your injury okay?"

"It's okay, I've been resting well for the past three days, and everything is fine." Xue Zhuang gave Xi Nan a relieved smile, then turned and left the door.

If so, Xi Nan rested for a while, and then rode a horse with Xue Zhuang to the direction of the palace.

The palace was built halfway up the mountain, surrounded by pleasant scenery, but the journey is quite far away.

The two did not take the main road, but walked through the dense woods in the mountains.

The two planned to go to the palace, observe the situation inside first, and then discuss how to save Wang Yanran.

Previously, Zhu Guanyu dispatched most of the forbidden army to kill the queen mother.

So Xue Zhuang was able to rescue Xi Nan quite easily this time.

But with this incident, another three days have passed, and it is not guaranteed that Zhu Guanyu will set up another ambush.

Xi Nan and Xue Zhuang can't take it lightly.

Xi Nan didn't expect that he and Xue Zhuang were still at the foot of the mountain, far away from the palace, and they heard the sound of someone running.

Xue Zhuang made a silent gesture to Xi Nan, then got off the horse, and walked carefully towards the direction of the sound.

Xi Nan also got off his horse and followed Xue Zhuang.

After a while, the two discovered that it was Wang Yanran who came.

At this time, Xue Zhuang was not wearing a human-skin-mask, so Wang Yanran suddenly saw two "sweethearts" appearing in front of him.

"I... Am I dreaming again..." Wang Yanran blinked.

Just as Wang Yanran finished speaking, there seemed to be the sound of pursuing soldiers not far away.

"Offended." Xue Zhuang directly picked up Wang Yanran, and after returning to the position where the two horses were, he thought for a while, put Wang Yanran on one horse, then picked up Xi Nan and got on the other horse, and He rides a horse.

Xi Nan: "..."

Xue Zhuang only looked at Wang Yanran: "A man and a woman can't kiss each other. It's okay for you to ride the horse yourself?"

Seeing Wang Yanran nodded, Xue Zhuang said again: "Follow me."

If so, Xue Zhuang rode away.

Along the way, Xi Nan felt that Xue Zhuang was pressing against him, his back was numb, and the roots of his ears were slowly turning red.

He was only fortunate that the night was so dark that Xue Zhuang should not be able to see it.

After returning to the inn and asking Wang Yanran, Xi Nan knew how she escaped.

The imperial army was originally bought by the Wang family, and there were one or two of them, and they were sincere to the Wang family.

There was a forbidden soldier with a clear mind, knowing that the Queen Mother was killed by Zhu Guanyu, he was already dissatisfied with him.

Now he accidentally heard that Zhu Guanyu was going to attack Wang Yanran, so he secretly released Wang Yanran and escaped desperately.

After Wang Yanran finished talking about herself, she looked at the two identical people in front of her and couldn't help but ask, "You...you..."

Xi Nan only smiled, and put his arm around Xue Zhuang's shoulder. "He is Xue Zhuang. I am his brother."

Xue Zhuang: "..."

Xi Nan said again: "The inside story of the palace before is complicated, and I will explain it to you later. Thank you for saving me that night. What are your plans in the future? Do you want to go to a relative? In order to repay your kindness, I will send you there. .”

Wang Yanran shook her head: "Both my aunt and my father... things have come to an end. Firstly, no relatives dare to take me in. Secondly, I don't want to cause trouble for them."

Xue Zhuang thought for a while, and finally said: "I have a cousin, and a maid who grew up with us, named Chang Ying, who is also my half sister, and they will come to join me in a few days. If you have nowhere to go for a while, you can stay with them. The girls are together and have something to talk about.”

Wang Yanran was naturally happy. "Thank you."

"No thanks, you have a good rest." Xue Zhuang nodded and left with Xi Nan.

When he was outside the house, Xue Zhuang glanced at Xi Nan. "She thought her lover was Xue Zhuang. But that person is obviously not me. Now you tell her that I am Xue Zhuang... Tsk, what do you mean by giving me the debt you caused?"

Xi Nan blinked: "I'm just...telling the truth."

Tsk, he started to look innocent again, weak and helpless, with a look of "I'm not what I don't have".

Xue Zhuang was not only unable to get angry, but also very useful.

Xi Nan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "It's okay. Let Qiuyun and Changying persuade her. It's more convenient for girls to talk like this. I don't think Wang Yanran is a single-minded person. After persuasion, she will think about it."

Somehow, after hearing Xi Nan's words, Xue Zhuang felt that he and Wang Yanran were in the same boat.

Xue Zhuang finally smiled helplessly, and sent Xi Nan back to his room to rest.

The next day, in order to prevent Zhu Guanyu's eyes and ears from coming over, Xue Zhuang took Xi Nan and Wang Yanran to another town and another inn.

Two days later, Xue Qiuyun and Chang Ying rushed over from the imperial capital together.

Xue Qiuyun's eyes were red, and she thought she was still sad about her father's affairs.

Knowing that comforting her at this time, Xue Zhuang was afraid that it would make her more sad, so he had no choice but to say nothing, and advised her to eat first.

After Xue Qiuyun had a good meal and rested all night, Xue Zhuang asked her again the next day: "Uncle's funeral...is everything settled?"

"Well. It's all right. Besides..."

Xue Qiuyun looked serious, "Some of the northern border army returned to the northern border, and some stayed in the imperial capital. The Feiyu Army and the Black Feather Army are also there. But now there is no leader in the group. There is no one who gives orders. This time, His Majesty dropped out before the battle. Everyone knows about the departure of the two teams, and they have some complaints about it. But they all admire you. They said that if you are willing to go back and lead them as a general, you may even..."

Even... self-proclaimed king?

Xue Zhuang immediately understood what Xue Qiuyun meant, and said: "No. After this battle, too many people in the Xia Kingdom died, and the people have suffered too much. If that happens, the Xia Kingdom will be divided, and there will be fierce battles again. It is the people who suffer.”

"I see. After that... don't do anything and wait for Zhu Guanyu's instructions?" Xue Qiuyun asked.

"There is something wrong with the Raven Nine Sword. I need to find a place to store it." Xue Zhuang said, "Once this matter is over, I will go to the imperial capital to pay homage to my uncle. At that time... I will also meet with Fei Yujun and the others to discuss the funeral Bar."

"Okay. Then I will accompany you. It's just the place where the sword is kept..." Xue Qiuyun couldn't help saying, "Which place is suitable?"

Xue Zhuang said: "I'm thinking, it's best to find a temple or a Taoist temple. Yajiu followed me with too much blood, and has killing intent. Maybe I need to use the power of the temple to purify it."

On the side, Chang Ying said: "Little General, I am familiar with the Jiangnan area. You should ask me."

"Yes. I forgot for a while, you grew up here when you were a child." Xue Zhuang asked her, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Changying said: "I am quite familiar with the abbot of Changyun Temple, and I often went there to play when I was young. However, I have been away from my hometown for too long, and I don't know if the abbot is still there, and he is willing to do this. How about it, I Go and ask first. Sister Xue has been working hard on General Xue Lai’s affairs, you can rest with her. I’ll go back as soon as I go.”

"So, I'm sorry." Xue Zhuang said.

"It's okay." Chang Ying waved her hand, and went downstairs to get the horse from the stables. She was very heroic, and soon disappeared.

Xi Nan glanced at Changying, and then asked Xue Zhuang: "By the way, I never asked, how did you know Changying?"

Xue Zhuang said: "She was originally from the south of the Yangtze River. When she was eight years old, her mother took her to Liaocheng to remarry. Her mother was unkind and was beaten to death by her remarried husband. It happened that the man was quite powerful in the local area. Chang Ying It was useless to sue the yamen, so I ran to the gate of the general's mansion and knelt down, begging my father to uphold justice. My father made the decision for her, and later saw that she had nowhere to go, so he arranged for her to come into the mansion to be my maid."

"So that's it. I said she looks different from the rest of Liaocheng, she's a little gentler, so she's from Jiangnan."

After Xi Nan finished speaking, he saw Xue Zhuang staring at him thoughtfully. "What's wrong?"

Xue Zhuang raised his eyebrows. "It's nothing. It's just...it turns out that you really paid attention to the girl."

Xi Nan: "..."

In the evening, Chang Ying came back.

She didn't care about sweating profusely, so she found Xue Zhuang and Xi Nan, and said, "The temple is still there. But the abbot has gone out, and he will return in the next day. How about we rest for two days and visit again?"

Xue Zhuang nodded: "Okay. Thank you."

"Everywhere, it should be done." Chang Ying made a bow, "Then I will take my leave first."

So, after another two days of rest at the inn, a group of people, led by Changying, headed towards Changyun Temple.

After walking for about an hour, Chang Yingyang pointed to a building not far away, and said, "That is Changyun Temple."

Xi Nan originally thought that Changyun Temple was quite far away, because that day, Changying was so fast that it took about a whole day to go back and forth.

But this time, after walking for more than an hour, they arrived.

Xue Zhuang obviously had the same question.He reined in the horse, stopped the horse, and then looked sideways at Chang Ying. "It seems that Changyun Temple is not far away. Why did you go back there for so long?"

Xi Nan glanced at Xue Zhuang and saw that his face was extremely serious.

Xi Nan suddenly thought of something, and his heart sank.

Changying was slightly stunned, and then said: "I went to Liaocheng with my mother when I was seven years old. I haven't been back for more than ten years. There have been many changes here. I almost didn't know the way. I searched for a long time."

Xue Zhuang was silent for a while, and then said: "I treat you like my own sister, not only because of your pitiful background, but also because you saved me. When I was 14 years old, I was caught by some barbarians who sneaked into Liaocheng. You came to rescue me, dealt with them for a long time, and was seriously injured, and it was only then that my father arrived. For this, I have always been very grateful to you. But now...you tell me, why did you do this?"

Changying didn't speak.

Xue Zhuang asked her again: "At that time, Feng Shan, you were the one who leaked the secret to His Majesty in advance, telling me where the family members and cronies were kept in the inn? I'm just curious, since you are a traitor, why didn't you tell Zhu Guanyu earlier, I have About the stand-in?"

Changying still didn't answer.

Xue Zhuang narrowed his eyes and looked towards the temple in front: "When we enter the Changyun Temple, we will be surrounded by groups, right? You lied to us that the abbot will come back in two days. In fact, it is not the abbot who needs time. It is the two days ago. It will take two days for the northern border army that has been transferred to come here and lie in ambush outside Changyun Temple, right?"

As soon as Xue Zhuang finished speaking, Changying whistled loudly.

The northern border army that was ambushing outside Changyun Temple waiting for Xue Zhuang and the others to enter the temple and surrounded them, and most of the forbidden troops who had been transferred from the Nanhu Palace appeared in neat steps.

Zhu Guanyu rode a white horse, appeared in front of the crowd in an instant, and said to Xue Zhuang and Xi Nan: "Now, although you have not entered the temple, you can't escape."
