step on mountains and rivers

Everyone rested for a long time, and when it was dark, Aka finally came back from the outside, and he brought back scones for everyone.Scones are a kind of baked food made from wheat flour. They are fragrant and crispy. Everyone is eating the pancakes, waiting for Aka's results.

Aka looked at the crowd and said:

"I have discussed with them. On the birthday, you will dress up as believers and enter the temple with us. We will take advantage of the time of offering sacrifices to the heavens and plot to assassinate the Great Sage King. At that time, you will join us in assassinating the Great Sage King." Aka pointed at Tang Qingfeng, then looked at Jiang Ling and said, "You take the two of them to rescue the prince, and take the prince out of the temple."

Jiang Ling looked at Tang Qingfeng, who nodded.

"Okay." Jiang Ling returned.

"Well, I have one more personal matter to ask you guys." Aka said.

"What's the matter?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Accompany me to the palace, I want to meet Princess Yangma." Aka said.

"Yes. Aka, I have something to ask you." Tang Qingfeng said.

"What's the matter?" Aka asked.

"What's your relationship with the prince and the princess?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"You..." Aka glanced at Tang Qingfeng in surprise, and then said slowly:

"The princess and I are childhood sweethearts, and have always regarded the prince as my own younger brother. My father was originally an important minister of Moro. After the death of King Moro, he was secretly executed by the great sage king because he rebelled against the great sage king and supported the prince's succession to the throne. , So, I inherited my father's behest, kept my name anonymous, and secretly gathered like-minded people to overthrow the rule of the Great Sage Heavenly King and return the imperial power to the prince."

"I see." Tang Qingfeng nodded.

"How do you get to the palace? How do you meet the princess?" Jiang Ling asked, "The Great Sage King probably won't meet us, right?"

"Well, I'm familiar with the palace and know a secret passage, where I used to bring the princess out to play." Aka said.

"Oh." Jiang Ling nodded.

"Then why do you want us to accompany you?" Lu Qing asked.

"I need someone to help me deal with the guards. If possible, I want to bring the princess out." Aka said.

"If you're like this, won't you sabotage the assassination plan?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"I can't care about that much anymore. My birthday will be the day after tomorrow. If you don't rescue the princess, if you fail, the princess will definitely be angered, and she will be tortured by them so that her life would be worse than death." Aka said.

"Why do you always think that the assassination will fail?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"The Great Sage King is a man bestowed by heaven, I have always had a very bad feeling." Aka said.

"Then, why not cancel this plan?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"No, we don't have time, this will be our last chance." Aka said.

"Why?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Because, after his birthday, the Great Sage King will announce his succession, and it will be very difficult for us to kill him in the future," Aka said.

"No wonder you are so eager to do it," Jiang Ling said.

"Well, I didn't tell them about saving the princess tomorrow, and they probably won't agree, so please help me." Aka said. "Birthday is approaching, and the Great Sage King is very busy, so he probably won't care about the princess. If we save her, maybe we won't be found."

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng nodded in response.

Aka looked at the crowd and said, "Thank you."

After discussing some countermeasures, everyone went to rest.

The next day, everyone divided into three teams and went outside the palace to inquire about the situation.

A golden gorgeous car galloped towards the crowd on the street from a distance, without any intention of slowing down and stopping, the crowd retreated one after another upon seeing this.

Li Zhenwu and Tang Qingfeng looked at Sha Juan in front of the booth. He was inquiring about information from the businessman, but he didn't notice the car that hit him.

"Zhenwu be careful." The moment the car was about to hit Li Zhenwu, Tang Qingfeng quickly pulled him into his arms.

Looking at the car driving away in Juechen, Tang Qingfeng frowned slightly, then looked at Li Zhenwu with concern and asked:

"Zhenwu, you are not injured."

"No." Li Zhenwu shook his head and said, "I don't know who is on the carriage? Are you not afraid of hurting someone if you are so rampant?"

The silk merchant heard what Li Zhenwu said, and replied: "Customer, that is the car of the Great Sage King, the Great Sage King is the son of heaven, and he will not hit anyone.

Besides, even if it hits someone, it's that person's luck.If you die in a collision, it will be a great blessing, and you will be rich and wealthy in your next life, and you will enjoy happiness and happiness.

It's a pity that the guests are unlucky people, and the car of the Great Sage King didn't hit you. "Speaking, the businessman glanced at Tang Qingfeng, and looked at Li Zhenwu pitifully.

Tang Qingfeng twitched his brows and feet slightly, and looked at the businessman without saying a word, with an urge to hit someone on his face.

Li Zhenwu pushed his arm, then looked at the businessman and said:

"Yeah, I have no luck to endure it."

"Oh, don't be disappointed as a guest. This kind of blessing is not something you can enjoy. If you encounter it again next time, you must work hard to grasp it! By the way, I have a high-quality gauze here. Guests can buy a few and take it with them. Tomorrow is the great sage king's birthday, and the temple will distribute holy water, and guests can wear light gauze to ask for a bowl to keep them safe," said the businessman.

After Tang Qingfeng heard what the businessman said, the anger on his face increased significantly.

Seeing this, Li Zhenwu thanked the businessman, rejected his proposal, and hurriedly dragged Tang Qingfeng away.

"Brother Tang, don't be angry, he didn't intend to run on, or he just had good intentions." Li Zhenwu persuaded.

"What good intentions? An unlucky person? Seize the opportunity? Since he thinks it is a blessing, I will let him see what a blessing is." Tang Qingfeng whispered with a slightly angry face.

Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng's earnest expression like a child, and thought it was very cute, so he laughed unconsciously.

"True martial arts?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, forget it, don't argue with him."

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng nodded and said seriously: "Zhenwu is a man of great fortune, so don't take his nonsense seriously."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu nodded in response.

Afterwards, the two reunited with the other three, and were scheduled to enter the palace at night to save the princess.

Several people confirmed some things in the house, and the sky gradually darkened.A-Ka took a few people out and walked towards the secret passage of the palace.

When they arrived outside the palace, after Tang Qingfeng and Jiang Ling knocked out the guards, they arrived at the entrance of the secret passage smoothly.

The secret passage was a hidden hole in the wall, A-Ka gently pushed aside the blocking stones, and got in.Several people followed closely behind and also got in.

Under the leadership of A-Ka, several people turned around and stunned some guards, and finally came to the princess's room. A-Ka glanced at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Send me up."

Tang Qingfeng nodded, picked him up, and jumped onto a big tree next to the window.

As soon as the two stood still, they saw an astonishing scene in the room.

"Yangma!" Seeing the scene in the room, Aka was so shocked that he almost called out, but Tang Qingfeng stopped him in time.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhenwu saw that the two looked nervous, so he flew over to check the situation, followed by Jiang Ling, who also flew up.

Seeing Li Zhenwu jumping towards the treetops, Tang Qingfeng immediately jumped off the tree and stopped him in the air.

"Brother Tang?" Li Zhenwu asked.

"Zhenwu, don't go, that kind of scene is not suitable for you." Tang Qingfeng smiled.

Tang Qingfeng's words aroused Li Zhenwu's doubts, and Jiang Ling, who flew up, froze on the tree in shock.

Lu Qing looked at Tang Qingfeng anxiously and asked:

"what happened?"

"Cultivation of Esoteric Buddhism together." Tang Qingfeng said softly.

After hearing this, Lu Qing was shocked, obviously he knew what Tang Qingfeng meant.

Li Zhenwu looked at the two in a daze and said:

"What tantric joint practice?"

"Brother Li, it's better not to ask." Lu Qing said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng and asked.

Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu, smiled and said: "It means that people from the sect practice together."

"Oh, in Wudang before, the brothers also practiced sword together, why did you make such a fuss?" Li Zhenwu said.

"Brother Li..." Lu Qing glanced at Li Zhenwu, but finally couldn't bear to tell him the truth.

At this moment, Jiang Ling couldn't stand it any longer, and quickly jumped down, looked at Tang Qingfeng and complained:

"Old Tang, why didn't you stop me?!" Jiang Ling said.

"Didn't you enjoy watching it?" Tang Qingfeng asked back.

"No, I was staying with him because I was afraid that something might happen to A-Ka. However, I really can't take it anymore." Jiang Ling said. "Go and accompany him."

"Huh? Brother Jiang, isn't it just the disciples of the sect practicing together? Why can't you bear it? If you are really bored, then I will accompany Aka." Li Zhenwu said with a serious face.

"Brother Li, what are you talking about? Up there, princess..." Before Jiang Ling could say anything, Tang Qingfeng immediately interrupted:

"Old Jiang, shut up."

Then Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu and said: "Hexiu is very boring, Zhenwu is waiting here, I will accompany Aka." After speaking, he gave Jiang Ling a hard look, and jumped up the treetop.

Jiang Ling looked at Tang Qingfeng, then at Lu Qing, and questioned:

"Lu Qing? Did I say something wrong?"

"You'd better shut up and don't talk," Lu Qing said.

Li Zhenwu looked at the crowd and became even more puzzled.I saw him jumping up and onto the top of the tree.

At this time, the work in the princess room was over, and everyone left one by one.

The princess put on tulle and walked slowly towards the window.

Li Zhenwu just stabilized his figure, and when he saw the princess walking in tulle, he immediately turned his head away.

When Tang Qingfeng was on the tree, he had already seen Li Zhenwu flying up, but there was nothing in the princess room, so he didn't stop him.

Seeing the princess approaching, A-Ka immediately jumped into the window from the top of the tree. The princess was also extremely shocked when she saw the person coming.

"What's going on? Isn't it cultivation?" Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng with doubts.

"The practice is over." Tang Qingfeng said with a smile.

Li Zhenwu didn't know why he looked at Tang Qingfeng, Tang Qingfeng smiled and said:

"Zhenwu, forget about cultivation, guess, can Aka persuade the princess?" Tang Qingfeng said.

Li Zhenwu looked at the two of them, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know."

In the room, A-Ka looked at the princess with sadness in his eyes.

"Aka, you have seen it all." The princess said

"Princess......" A-Ka looked at the princess, his eyes suddenly became firm: "Come with me."

"A-Ka, I can't leave, you know that." The princess said.

"Princess, we will act tomorrow, and we will also rescue Prince Cidan. If you stay, you will be persecuted. Come with me." Aka said.

The princess glanced at A-Ka and said, "Since that's the case, I can't go anymore. If I go, it's not good for your plan."

"Princess, why didn't you think about yourself all this time?" Aka said sadly.

The princess glanced at him and said:

"Aka, from the moment my father died and was defiled by that person, my soul has died, and that pure and innocent princess also died with my soul. The body that is alive now is just a body. It’s nothing more than a walking dead. For my father’s behest, for Moro, for the people, and for the sake of the day, I’m still alive. I believe in hope, and I want to see a brand new future. Aka, the country of Moro depends on you, no matter what , live well."

"Princess..." A-Ka was speechless.

The princess walked towards him lightly, put a kiss on his forehead and said, "Aka, forget about me. I only have this kiss, and it's clean, so I'll give it to you. I wish you all the best, peace and happiness. "

"Princess..." Aka said.

"Let's go, let's go, if you fail, you have to live on, take the next day and leave Moro, live well, and live to have hope." After the princess finished speaking, she pushed A-Ka out of the room,

She stood in front of the window, looked at the treetops, and said slowly:

"If you are friends of A-Ka, please help him, please save him, please let him live well."

After speaking, he gently closed the window.

"Princess..." A-Ka looked at the window and remained silent.

"Aka, let's go." Tang Qingfeng said and pulled Aka down from the tree.

Several people then returned from the original road and left the palace.
