Zhen Guojiang

The morning sun is slightly dew, and the frost is turning into fog.

Yan Xia woke up very early and was practicing swords in an empty place. At this time, Gong Huan got up early and saw Yan Xia practicing swords from now on, and said: "Seeing how hardworking you warriors are every day, I can understand why your martial arts are so advanced."

Yan Xia withdrew his sword momentum, and said, "I need to put in twelve points of effort, maybe I can catch up with those two inside."

Gong Huan said: "Are these two awake inside?"

Yan Xia thought about last night, and sighed: "One is seriously injured and hasn't recovered yet, and the other just lay down in the middle of the night."

Gong Huan frowned, and said: "The leader is seriously injured, the world is very chaotic now, I don't know if the leader can solve the chaos when he returns."

Yan Xia thought: Of course not, he will only stir up this muddy water.On the face, he said: "After all, the leader has ruled the world for a long time, and there is the old leader behind him, so it may not be that difficult."

At this time Yunxiao also came out, she changed into a new outfit today, with pansy wide sleeves and curvy train, wearing light yellow embroidered lilac gauze, although her skin is a little wheat-colored, but it has a special taste.

She looked at Yan Xia and Gong Huan, and said with a sigh of relief: "I've seen you, young master, who is this?"

Yan Xia introduced: "Futu Gonghuan."

Yunxiao was surprised, and said to Gong Huan, "You are one of the candidates for His Holiness."

Yan Xia was surprised for a moment, he didn't expect to meet people who were about to participate in the candidates in this remote place, and said: "This is the critical moment, it's not good for you to come out of the pagoda."

Gong Huan glanced at Yunxiao, the eyes were meaningful, Yunxiao knew she had said something wrong, she lowered her head silently, Gong Huan said: "Young Master Jia, the person next to you is not simple, not everyone should be a candidate for the venerable." You don’t even know Mr. Jia, the maid beside you knows too much.”

Yan Xia naturally knew that Yunxiao was not simple, but she couldn't tell Gong Huan what she said, so she said: "We travel on weekdays and meet a lot of people. She is willing to ask some gossip about the world, but I am not so interested in it. , so she knows a lot."

Gong Huan smiled and said, "I wonder if this girl can tell me who told you about the candidate for the Venerable?"

Yunxiao didn't want to say that she learned about it from Chaotianque's intelligence network, she glanced at the place where Zhong Lixu was, thinking about it, and said: "I also escaped from the parting sect, and the parting sect has investigated a lot of news about the righteous way, I saw it by accident when I was fleeing."

Except for the three of them, no one in the world has ever been to the Palace of Farewell. No one knows how Yunxiao knew about it. Naturally, Yan Xia would not say much. come ready."

Yan Xia thought: Although the opponent's thinking was wrong, the opponent's actions were not wrong.

Seeing that the two of them hadn't spoken, Gong Huan continued, "It seems that martial arts may repeat the chaos of more than 20 years ago."

Yan Xia replied: "Maybe, but every son and daughter of the Jianghu will definitely go all out to drive out the cult just like they did more than 20 years ago."

Gong Huan sighed, lowering his eyes in melancholy, originally he was extraordinary in appearance, and his body seemed to make people feel at ease, but now he was melancholy, a little unbearable.

Yun Xiao said: "Back then when the cult was rampant, everyone in the Jianghu was helpless, but the evil did not overwhelm the righteous. The old leader and Kuang He knights tried their best to turn the tide. Now there are many heroes in the Jianghu, and they will surely succeed."

Gong Huan didn't feel at ease when she heard this, but she still suppressed her melancholy: "I hope so."

At this time, the door of Xizhen's room was knocked lightly, and Xizhen came out of the room. He was not tired, he was dressed in white, and looked like a gentleman. He raised his eyes to see Gong Huan, and said: "I didn't expect to be here It's a surprise to meet people from Futu in this remote place."

Gong Huan replied: "It's not a surprise. After all, it has already spread the news that the alliance leader was captured in the Farewell Palace. It's just that everyone doesn't know the truth. I came here out of curiosity and coincidence."

Xi Zhen said, "Are you going to follow us?"

Gong Huan said: "Jianghu No.1 and this Mr. Jia Xun are escorting the leader. I will be overconfident if I follow. It's just that Jianghu No.1 is rare, so I just happen to want to come and see him."

Xi Zhen replied: "It's not convenient to see the people in the pagoda who should make a bowl of tea and serve them."

Gong Huan said: "There are priorities, I just came here to meet Yun Zejian because of my admiration."

Xi Zhen replied: "Now that I'm going back to the Wulin League, I'm afraid I won't be able to communicate too much."

Gong Huan said: "The leader's matter is more urgent, I'm afraid there will be a chance to meet in the future."

Xi Zhen heard the meaning of these words, and it seemed that everyone in the world had already started to act, so he said: "I have something I want to talk to Jia Xun, don't you know?"

Gong Huan said: "I am in the way, please leave."

Gong Huan bid farewell to everyone and left here, Yun Xiao also entered the house.

Xi Zhen looked at Yan Xia, they walked to a secluded place, Xi Zhen said: "He is about to wake up, I don't want to expose it now, but I will take good care of him."

Yan Xia said: "Before I was thinking whether to tell you, after all, it is best not to let everyone know about the relationship between the parting sect and the imperial court."

Xizhen expressed melancholy: "Although I have traveled in the Jianghu, I have heard a lot about the affairs of the court. Today, I have made great efforts to govern, appointed people on their merits, and made drastic reforms since I ascended the throne. Now the world is considered to be well-organized and harmonious."

Yan Xia could hear Xizhen's emphasizing on the word "should be", he said: "Since the ancestors, chivalry has prevailed in all corners of the country, and everyone is proud to be a knight. In the past hundred years, there have been many sects in the rivers and lakes, the aristocratic family has run rampant, and the Holy Majesty has ascended the throne. It is not that the two previous emperors took the middle way. After he came to power, he was severely punished. Unfortunately, the people of the Jianghu did not follow this set of punishments. The Holy One can be said to have endured the people of the Jianghu for 20 years. The fear of Tianque's destruction of the martial arts is that the historians will criticize them, and the Holy One has lived a glorious life, so it should be that he really does not want to be called cruel and vicious in handling martial arts affairs, otherwise, the country's heavy soldiers would have already rushed in."

Xi Zhen sighed, and he said: "People in Jianghu are righteous, chivalrous and courageous. Unfortunately, doing things for this Jianghu hindered many government orders, and the ancestors did not stop them. After all, many chivalrous men killed corrupt officials and pleaded for the people. After the ancestor left, the two emperors did not interfere too much. Therefore, many chivalrous men established sects and inherited their own martial arts. It has long become normal for sects to fight each other out of selfishness, and each sect fights viciously, and it has brought disaster to the people during this period, presumably the Holy One has long been dissatisfied."

Yan Xia said: "You and I can see things, how can those old Jianghu not understand, but they have been wanton for a long time, I am afraid that the emperor is afraid of the power of Jianghu and dare not do anything."

Xi Zhen said: "Back then, a martial artist killed a person without intending to hurt the common people, and then he was arrested and thrown into a prison. He had a friend from all corners of the country who threatened the prefect and robbed the prison."

Yan Xia said: "I inquired about these two people later, although the court did not issue an order to kill them, they disappeared in the rivers and lakes inexplicably. Unfortunately, it seems that everyone only knows the first half, and even compiled this into an opera, but the most important part is the latter." Half of it was ignored."

Xizhen remained silent, as if in the name of eliminating harm for the people, after dinner, his remarks always tended to favor the chivalrous man, as if any wrong done by the chivalrous man could be forgiven, but the law was clearly engraved on the three On the Chizhu bamboo slips, nothing has been rewritten.

Xi Zhen smiled wryly and said: "Perhaps today Shang sent Chao Tianque to destroy Wulin not only because he didn't want to be recorded by the official historian, but maybe he wanted the common people to be disappointed in Wulin."

Yan Xia didn't reply to this sentence, the content of this sentence was too heavy, and the two of them could not do it now, Yan Xia could only say: "Go back and see the leader, he should wake up now."

Xi Zhen and Yan Xia returned to the house, at this time Zhong Lixu drank the medicine, his complexion improved a lot, and there were signs of waking up, Xi Zhen lost his inner strength for him again, Zhong Lixu slowly opened his eyes, Yan Xia fell down for him Xi Zhen fed the glass of water, Zhong Lixu drank some water, coughed twice, and said in a weak voice, "Xiaozhen, great, finally seeing you."

Xi Zhen had complicated thoughts and said, "I finally rescued you."

Zhong Lixu looked very happy, but due to internal injuries, his face was horribly pale. His brows and eyes were like a landscape painting, with tear moles burning at the corners of his eyes, but now his pale complexion is even more dazzling red with the tear moles, and his eyebrows and eyes are more distinct. Attracting people's attention, such a sick beauty, no one should doubt him, doubting him seems to be a sin.

Zhong Lixu said: "I have dragged you down."

Xi Zhen sighed and said: "I voluntarily saved you, there is no burden or no burden, if you really owe love, you owe it to the two people around you."

Zhong Lixu's face was bewildered, and his tone was full of doubts: "Who are these two?"

Xi Zhen felt that he couldn't show his doubts too much, he looked at Yan Xia, and said gently: "This is Mr. Jia Xun, and the girl next to him is his maid named Yunxiao."

Zhong Lixu looked at Yan Xia seriously, and said, "It seems that the martial arts has a treasure."

Yan Xia replied: "I don't dare to be, there are many talented people in the world, and I have always followed the example of my predecessors."

Zhong Lixu said: "With such ability and self-effacing, no wonder Xiaozhen let you follow."

Xi Zhen interrupted their chatter, he said: "Everyone in Jianghu is probably very anxious about your whereabouts, how do you want to make a decision?"

Zhong Lixu's expression was heavy, he thought of something, he sighed, but he didn't know that the pain was involved, he coughed twice, and he said: "I have guessed how chaotic the martial arts has become now, although I have lost my internal strength, I think Back to the Martial Arts League, I am still the leader of the alliance after all."

When Xi Zhen heard this sentence, his right hand clenched unconsciously at an angle that Zhong Lixu couldn't see. It was clearly just a vague and weak sentence, but he heard a voice similar to that of the man in purple. Feeling that his face should have turned pale, his throat made an uncontrollable sound, and he said, "Go back now?"

Zhong Lixu said, "Naturally."

Xi Zhen didn't know what was wrong with him, he wanted to do something and said, "I'm going to buy a carriage now and go home."

But Zhong Lixu said: "I want you to accompany me, I'm a little uncomfortable now, and I want to be alone with you."

Yan Xia said at this time: "Yunxiao and I will go."

Zhong Lixu's pupils were like black ink, and he was staring at Yan Xia, dark, trying to see through Yan Xia, but Yan Xia's hair stood up for a moment.

Yan Xia restrained her hand that wanted to draw the sword, and smiled gently, saying, "Yunxiao and I will leave first."

Xi Zhen watched Zhong Lixu staring at Yan Xia leave, Zhong Lixu's expression remained unchanged, after Yan Xia left, Zhong Lixu said to Xi Zhen: "It's hard for you, you have suffered a lot."

Xi Zhen replied: "Fortunately, I rescued you."

Zhong Lixu sighed: "I have wronged you."

Xi Zhen said in a gentle voice, "It's nothing."

Zhong Lixu laughed after hearing this. He didn't intend to laugh at first, but he seemed to think of something, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. His voice was faint, sickly and weak, but every sentence shocked Xi Zhen to the heart. He said: "Even if you have been injured internally, even if you have been locked up by me for a long time."

Xi Zhen straightened his back abruptly, he heard his own voice without any emotion: "You really are the man in purple."

Zhong Lixu's voice was still gentle, and said: "Haven't you been guessing all the time, I think it's better not to let you waver."
