Prince Boring and Concubine Qiao Ai

People who are immersed in the joy of the end of the war will not pay attention to the galloping horses on the official road, and the haggard figures on the horses covered with black cloaks.

Zhao Ling ran around without sleep for several days, even a Chollima could not support it, and he was not far from Liangdu, and he was reluctant to chase his family to death. When he saw a small town, he turned right and found the post, planning to change horse.

"Treasurer," Zhao Ling threw a handful of silver all over the floor, "give me the best horse."

The shopkeeper has been running the inn for many years, and the people who come and go in a hurry have all kinds of crooked things, as long as they can afford the money, it doesn't matter if their attitude is good or bad, so he quickly prepared a big white horse that looks strong for Zhao Ling, "Guest officer walk slowly."

Zhao Ling casually chewed a few mouthfuls of dry food, gulped down a gourd of water, and was about to get on the horse, when someone behind him called him, "Seventh brother!"

"Little Junior Sister?"

"Seventh brother!"

This voice is not bad, I haven't seen her for a year, and the younger junior sister has become brighter and brighter.

Gao Lanyin stood at the door, panting, "Master asked me to stop you here, you really took this official path."

Zhao Ling had a hunch that something had happened to Liang Du, so he ran back day and night non-stop, but hearing Gao Lanyin's words here, half of his heart sank.

"Ten days ago, Master ordered me to guard here, and told me to wait here for a month. After a month, if I don't see you, I will go back to Xuanwu Pavilion. If I see you, I must stop you. Let me hand this letter to you." Gao Lanyin did not go to the battlefield, but sat in Liangdu with her master. When the Five Kingdoms defeated Ning, the Xuanwu Pavilion issued the Xuanwu Order, calling on the world's martial arts masters to gather to protect the country, and half of them followed Gong Si accompanied the crown prince, while the other half stayed in Liangdu to strengthen the defense of the palace.

Zhao Ling opened the letter, it was written by Master's father.

There are four words on the letter, "Don't forget your original intention."

Master Gong has always been gentle and courteous. He never leaves the book, and speaks with ease, but he can put them in the care of the little brats who have headaches everywhere. As long as they enter the school of Xuanwu Pavilion, even if they pretend, You also have to pretend to be a dog from a family.

It is difficult for such a person to be associated with the well-known Xuanwu Pavilion Master in the Jianghu.

"What happened in the imperial city?" Zhao Ling looked at the city wall of Liangdu, clutching the letter paper tightly in his hand, "Did something happen to my mother and concubine?"

"You don't know? His Royal Highness clearly..." It was Gao Lanyin's turn to be surprised, "Didn't His Royal Highness tell you?"

"I haven't seen the eldest brother. What happened in the palace?" Zhao Ling led a branch of the Zhao family army, and Luo Yi's personal soldiers belonged to the vanguard army of the coalition army. After returning with Luo Yi, I only saw Xiao Lu from Daying, and the others didn't see each other because of their business.

"Mistress Xue assassinated His Majesty and attempted suicide." Gao Lanyin didn't want to, but the words came out of her mouth, "At that time, only the emperor, Patriarch Xiao and Patriarch Zhou were present. Madam Xue had looked for Master, and after leaving Master , In less than half an hour, the palace closed its doors, and then there were rumors of an assassination! I don't believe it, but Master didn't let me investigate and sent me here to wait for you."

Assassination...suicide...

Although Zhao Ling was mentally prepared, his feet gave way and he fell to the ground.When the mother and concubine sent him off to fight, the warm palms holding his face had turned into cold bones now.

"At that time, the emperor issued an imperial decree to go to the front line to call you back, and the good news was spread everywhere that you broke the Futian Formation, but Master Xiao replied that he could not find you, and there were many rumors that you were dead. Your mother's body can't wait for it to rot. I buried you in a hurry, originally I wanted to set up a tomb for you, but later His Highness the Crown Prince came back and said that Luo Sange had rescued you."

The Zhou family had always been at odds with his Xue family, and they were always looking for trouble when they had nothing to do. Xiao's family didn't know what moths were being sold in the gourd. Hearing this, even a fool would know that my father didn't know which bastard's slander he had listened to. , to put the Xue family to death.But his surname is Zhao, not Xue, and he will not die, but once he returns to the palace, he will be imprisoned for life.He can't venture back to the palace yet, the [-] soldiers of the Xue family army are still waiting for him in the Forest of Heroes.

Zhao Ling got up and wanted to get on his horse. At least, there were the bones of his mother and concubine in the imperial tomb, and he wanted to take the bones of his mother and concubine back to the west.

"Brother Seven, you can't go to the imperial tomb. The imperial tomb is a trap. They want to catch you. I overheard some of what Master and Madam Xue said. They said that the emperor wants the jade seal of Ningguo." Gao Lanyin pulled the horse rope, "Yuxi You can't give it to them, it's something you can save your life. You go back to General Xue in the western region to take shelter, and when His Royal Highness comes back, we will think about what to do together."

Zhao Ling really wanted to slap himself to death with a stick, but when he woke up, he found that he had had a dream.

"Don't you have the jade seal?" Gao Lanyin keenly noticed Zhao Ling's sarcastic smile.

"I've never seen what that jade seal looks like!" Zhao Ling rode on horseback, "Sister, pass me a message and tell Master, I've written down what he said in his letter. No one can touch Uncle's Xue Jiajun. When things on the front line are over, I'll come back and slowly settle accounts with the bastard who murdered my mother, concubine and uncle."

Coming in a hurry, returning in a hurry, at the post station, Zhuifeng should have rested enough, Zhao Ling changed horses and went straight to Yingling Mountain.The master's letter to him extinguished his anger. Yes, he could take revenge, but the Xue family army could not retaliate.The [-] soldiers have families and relatives, and they are all in Daliang. If it is true that they rebelled because of the death of a coach, what about their relatives and families?

I can't think of the cause and effect of this incident, there is no sign, father and emperor have never cared about the military power of the Luo family and the Xue family, why did they suddenly have the same nostrils as the Zhou family and the Xiao family?The concubine mother has always been calm and rational, why was she charged with murder?And uncle... what was in the letter he received?

Near the Heroic Mountains at the end of the West Corridor, Zhao Ling felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Did it come so fast?

It has only been ten days since Xue Jiajun was ordered to withdraw into Yingling Mountain, and Liang Jun has already come to surround them.Sure enough, it was already prepared, but fortunately, it was not far away.There is a valley in front, and there are soldiers in the valley, and there are quite a few of them.

He climbed up the nearest hill with bare hands, hid on a towering tree, and looked towards the valley. Sure enough, his deputy general was surrounded. Cut off the only retreat leading to Yingling Mountain.

This road is the closest, but it is very narrow, and it is easy to be blocked by people back and forth.

It's better to take another road up the mountain.Go around a bit, but open up.

Zhao Ling saw many vines and had a flash of inspiration.From the valley to the top of the mountain, there are these shortcuts available, but it takes a lot of time for 3000 people to climb up.

Moreover, it is impossible to remain indifferent to this dense crowd of people.

Looking around the valley, Zhao Ling really let him find an excellent scenery. From a distance, it looked like a monkey scooping up eggs. The monkey was small, but the eggs were huge. He climbed another mountain wall and got close to this big mound of monkey scooping up eggs.He just picked up a knife casually, and it happened to be used. He split the egg-shaped soil clod on the top of the mountain with a knife.

The Liang Army camp surrounding the Western Territory Army was in chaos in an instant. With the sound of the commander fleeing, there were people running from all directions. Due to the large number of people, many who ran slowly were trampled into human pies, and there were tragic howls. The sound hits my ears.

Xue Jiajun did not panic and retreated in a very orderly manner, using shields to block the stones while retreating.

When it reached the cliff, Zhao Ling climbed down the mountain along the vines.

Along the way, I saw the coach among a group of people. He was really an old acquaintance.

"My lord!" Fang Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, when he saw a rock rolling down, he knew that the lord was nearby. It must be the lord who tried to break the stalemate.

"Withdraw." Zhao Ling didn't want to fight Zhou Geng, as long as they entered Yingling Mountain, no one would be able to find them in the thousands of miles of mountains and forests.

Zhao Ling pointed out the way, and everyone climbed up the cliff relying on vines, abandoned the canyon, marched up the mountain, and went straight up and down the steep mountain wall, but it was all trivial to Xue Jiajun.

Three long vines, a group of people climbed continuously, and saw a small group of people rushing towards the mudslide.

The leader is a silver gun, with an unstoppable youthful spirit between his brows.

Zhao Ling thought it was enough for the other party to just act, but Brother Zhou still played for real.

"Fang Jing, let the brothers line up on the mountain and wait for me for a while." Zhao Ling took out the long knife from the scabbard, facing the rushing men and horses, and walked leisurely.

The opponent stopped.The canyon is narrow, and there are only 3000 people standing in a row, so the line is very long. Zhao Ling calculated that there were about [-] people, and Zhou Geng was naturally the leader.

Zhao Ling stopped in his tracks, guarding the gate with one man, swiped the long knife, the tip of the knife pierced into the soil, half of his body leaned on the back of the knife, as if he planned to block Zhou Geng's three thousand elite soldiers with his own strength.

This is an opportunity, the lieutenant general gave an order, Liang Jun raised his gun and advanced, but Zhou Geng raised his hand to stop him.

He stepped forward five steps, and even put away his silver gun.

Zhao Ling was funny, facing the enemy before the battle, the coach rushed forward, isn't this courting death?

"Zhao Ling, come back with me. You have disobeyed the military order of the coalition forces time and time again, and all you saved were the enemies. Are you crazy! First the prince of Ningguo, and then the old department of Ningguo, and refused to hand over the secret method of Futian formation. Do you really want to rebel against it?" ? Do you know what the coalition forces are talking about you now! Said that you want to stand on your own and lead the Xue family army to build another Futian array!"

What Zhou Geng said was very similar to that. Zhao Ling counted all these things. He did all these things. Except for the obvious nonsense of rebuilding the Futian Formation, he was not wronged.

Rescued Ning Qiumo when besieging Ding Tiancheng, and rescued Ningzhuang and the old part of Zhuangwang's mansion when patrolling the city. People from various countries who repeatedly refused to come to Futian Formation did not return to Liangdu according to the order, but evacuated the western territory with their uncle's remnants. Yingling Mountain.

But these are his personal actions and have nothing to do with Xue Jiajun, and he never thought of rebelling.Uncle died, mother concubine died, he was very sad, sad is sad, he knew very well what he wanted to protect.The Xue family has been loyal and good for generations, defending Daliang, and must not be ambiguous with the word anti, let alone be related to the word injustice.

Zhao Ling looked back, his men were almost ready, and said, "Do you know about my mother and concubine?"

Zhou Geng was taken aback, "What's wrong with Lady Xue?"

Zhao Ling made the right bet, and Zhao Qi lied to everyone.

At first when Gao Lanyin said that Zhao Qi knew about it, he was very surprised why no one around him had any hints to him.It was normal for Zhao Qi to conceal it, because the few people on the front line, except for Zhao Qi who went back to Liangdu once, the rest did not return to Liangdu, so no one knew what happened to Liangdu.

"Don't pretend, Zhao Qi knows, don't you know?"

"What's the matter?" Zhou Geng felt uncomfortable.

"Come closer, I'll tell you alone," Zhao Ling quietly clenched the handle of the knife with a look of reluctance to make any noise.

Regardless of the fierce opposition from the lieutenant behind him, Zhou Geng walked over step by step.

Oh, sorry, old friend.Zhao Ling silently apologized, turned the blade, Zhou Geng faced the blade, the shining blade was so startled that Young Master Zhou didn't even swallow his saliva.

"Zhao Ling! You bastard!" Zhou Geng didn't have time to scold, Zhao Ling said, "You can scold me as you please", and abducted him in front of him, holding the blade against his neck, and shouted, "Back back, get out of the canyon, or else I killed him."
