Chapter 40 Chapter 40

The two were leaning side by side on a big tree, stretching their legs comfortably and comfortably, and in front of them was the endless wild field to the west of Zhongshan Mountain in Yingtianfu. Hui'er and Xu Yeyue's love rider, Xiaoyue, are eating young grass leisurely. And after riding for a whole hour, both the horse and the people enjoyed this comfortable time. The sun is gradually setting towards the western mountains. The earth is golden, and the north wind is blowing. Xu Yeyue whispered next to Han Bo's ear: "I also said that my father doesn't control people very well. Since I was young, my father has not allowed Yue'er to play with other children, saying that I will be stained by vulgar people. Mind. So people never have close friends, they only play with senior brothers, but he has so many families, what’s the fun.”

Han Bai laughed and said, "Ignoring Xu is always right and wrong, but isn't the Yue'er who has been painstakingly cultivated by him now pretty good?" Xu Yeyue pursed her mouth angrily, and said angrily: "You are always unwilling to stand on Yue'er's side." Han Bai smiled and said, "Come on! Tell me frankly, if I am someone your father looks down on, will Yue'er be nice to me?" Xu Yeyue froze, thought for a while, sighed softly, rested her head on his shoulder, and said softly: "No!" Han Bai proudly said: "I'm right! In fact, you listen to your father the most and admire his vision the most. Hey! At first I thought you were better than him, but he is the best, you Yueer No matter how fast you drive, you can't catch up."

Xu Yeyue closed her beautiful eyes, and sighed softly: "It doesn't matter now, after Dad wins over Li Chimei, he will retire to the mountains and forests, and will no longer worry about Uncle Zhu's affairs, and will no longer care about his Ming room." It's over." Han Bai's heart trembled, thinking that if the loser was the ghost king, it would cause the most irreparable damage and blow to Xu Yeyue, it was hateful that he was not as good as the ghost king, and fighting on behalf of him was just sacrificing one more life. Xu Yeyue sat up straight, kicked her little foot, and said distressedly: "I'm so angry, I might actually want to work with Zhuang Qingshuang, that contemptuous girl in the future."

Han Bai laughed dumbly and said, "What happened to the two of you? She said you didn't care about her, and you said she looked down on you." Xu Yeyue was startled and said: "Did she really say that?" Han Bai put his arms around her fragrant shoulders, and after touching his lips for a while, he said softly: "When I invited you to go out just now, you were so happy, is it because I don't have time to look for her anymore? !" After Xu Yeyue nodded shyly, she turned back into his arms, hugged his waist tightly and said: "You are very like a father, and you can see through everything. Oh! You haven't told Yue'er that Qiniang came into the room What did you do with you, don't lie to Yue'er, and Yue'er will not complain to Father."

Han Bai was very embarrassed, and said honestly: "She always thinks that I am an old lover Chi Zun believes in him, but I only hugged her lightly and never even kissed her. Do you blame me?" Xu Yeyue raised her pretty face in shock, and lost her voice: "She actually let you hug her!" Han Bai was at a loss and said, "She started crying. I can't help comforting her!" Xu Yeyue said with a "puchi" smile: "Don't panic like that, Qiniang is just pretending to be a wife in the mansion. But your affairs must not be made public, otherwise it will become a big scandal. Yes! You and Bai Fanghua are again What does it matter, have you slept with her before?"

Han Bai was too weak to fight against the woman's direct boldness, he just shook his head to express no, and said with a wry smile, "I don't know what it has to do with her either." Xu Yeyue said suspiciously: "But she also cried for you like I did, hum!" Remembering that she fell into this treacherous trick before, she bit him hard on the arm. Han Bai cried out in pain, and saw that the sun was beginning to sink into the distant mountains. Thinking of Hu Weiyong's banquet tonight, he patted her fragrant shoulder and said, "Come on! We're going back."

Xu Yeyue Buyi said: "We had a good talk, now we have to drive people home. It's worth not going to the traitor's banquet! Let's sit here for a whole night and watch the bright moon rise into the sky, isn't it beautiful! " Han Bai was bewildered and had a headache, this unruly girl was really hard to deal with, and he couldn't bear to go against her wishes, so he suddenly had a whimsical idea: "Why don't I take Yue'er to the banquet, and then I'll take you back to Mochou Lake, and let you meet Three sisters, wouldn't it be better for us to watch the moon at the small pavilion in the middle of the lake?"

Xu Yeyue blushed and said: "In what capacity does Yue'er accompany you to the banquet?" Han Bai stood up with his arms around her, kissed her painfully and said with a smile, "Of course it's Han's little wife who hasn't been married yet." Xu Yeyue stomped her feet and said angrily: "That's even worse. The family members don't attend this kind of official banquet. How about it! Well! It still doesn't work, don't care, in short, people will follow you, what do they dare to do to me? " Han Bai laughed, and thought to himself that in this way, Zhu Yuanzhang would not suspect that he and Hu Weiyong would have any private transactions, and it would also make Hu Weiyong give up trying to win over him, killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing the master standing up, Hui'er hurried over to meet him. Xu Yeyue praised it, hugging it and making out. Supporting Xu Yeyue's slender waist, Han Bai lifted her onto the horse's back, and said happily, "Come on, let's take a ride together. Starting from today, I guarantee that Yue'er will find it very fun in the future." Xu Yeyue groaned softly, bent down, and offered a sweet kiss. Night gradually enveloped the earth. Ling Zhantian flew over the city wall, flashed across the long street, and came to the high back of a house. After identifying the direction, he rushed to the slums in the northern district of Changde Mansion.

Seeing that success was in sight, he became even more careful. Every time he flew over, he would see clearly where the next hiding place would be, and carefully check whether there were any enemies lying in the dark. He was not worried that Bai's whereabouts would be discovered by the enemy. With his skill, unless he was in the wilderness, if he made up his mind to escape, no one would be able to stop him. In the underworld from childhood to now, I have never encountered any storms. I can't help but think of the good time with Lang Fanyun, a warm current rose in my heart, my ambition rose, and after a few ups and downs, I came to the shadow of the roof overlooking the small house that Gan Hongqing said.

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart. Although the small house was brightly lit, it felt eerie and murderous. Could it be that Qian Luo's secret lair has been smashed by Yao Nu earlier?But why can't I see the traces of the fierce fighting? Ling Zhantian's heart sank, if he couldn't find Qian Luo, he had no choice but to go back to Shangguan Ying's hideout, and then try to go back to the secret headquarters of the Nu Jiao Gang with him, it would be much more dangerous. At this moment, the wind sounded from behind. At the same time, Hua Zhaao, Shanchayue, Qiang Wangsheng, and You Chidi came out from different windows and doors of the small house and rushed towards him. Without saying a word, Ling Zhantian smashed the roof and fell into the hall below. He apologized to the men and women in the room who were so frightened that their faces turned pale. He put down an ingot of gold and smashed through the door like lightning. alley. A burly foreigner who looked like an angry lion, holding a spear in each of his left and right hands, jumped at him in the air, like a lion grabbing a rabbit. This is the first time for Ling Zhantian to meet the "Mountain Lion" Haciwen, a master of color and eyes. Of course, he doesn't know who he is, but just looking at the strength of his two spears, he knows that if he is wrapped around him, it is guaranteed that he will not be able to go anywhere . With a flash of calmness, he returned to the room, smiled embarrassedly at everyone in the room, old and young, and shot out from the gap just now, onto the back of the tile. Only from his quick response, we can see how brilliant his intelligence is.People always have an illusion that those who run for their lives will only forget their lives and run away, and will not return to the original place. It was under this mentality that the enemies who were rushing towards the tile surface all landed in the nearby side streets and alleys, ready to intercept, but Ling Zhantian returned to the original place. Before the enemy could charge up again, Ling Zhantian breathed out his true energy, soared up into the air, swept across seven or eight houses, and when he was about to fall to the ground, a long vine flew out from his sleeve and wrapped around a man three feet away. The borrower flew to the corner of the eaves of the building again, and disappeared in the darkness of the shadow of the house with a "whoosh". That kind of speed and flexibility is amazing. Mrs. Zhen, Ying Fei and Liu Yaozhi stood on the top of Qian Luo's abandoned small house, watching their own masters try their best to chase after him, but all in vain, they all showed admiration in their eyes. This is a respectable adversary. Madam Zhen smiled coquettishly, "You are worthy of Lang Fanyun's brother." Ying Fei laughed and said: "Ma'am only knows how to grow other people's ambition, but since he has been exposed, don't want to hide it from the Condor trained by the adults." Mrs. Zhen looked at the black dots flying in the night sky, and said with a smile: "My good eagle has already recognized his appearance, even if he reaches the bottom of the sky, he can't fly past my five fingers. Shangguan Ying and Ling Zhantian Leave it to Master Fei, Sushan is more interested in Qi Changzheng and Zhai Yushi, they should be on the verge of dying." Zhai Yushi, Qi Changzheng, Liang Qiumo and the Nujiao gang selected the seven most powerful fighters, and they just arrived at the bottom of a long slope. Liang Qiumo glanced at the slope, and said dumbfounded: "No wonder this is called the 'death slope'. If ordinary people walk up with heavy objects, they will be exhausted in less than half. It's even harder to get down." Qi Changzheng said: "Those people really don't know how to do business. If they open a tea stall at the bottom of the slope, they will definitely make a lot of money." Everyone chatted and laughed for a while before walking up. There is a small rocky hill at the top of the slope, and the lights of Changde Mansion can be seen in front of it, and there is still a distance of at least twenty miles. Zhai Yushi glanced across the dark mountains and wilderness, and said: "This location is very good, anyone who approaches will not be able to escape our eyes, we will wait here for our old meeting." Liang Qiumo said in astonishment: "Didn't you agree to meet at the mountain temple ten miles outside Changde Mansion? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Zhai Yushi smiled and said: "Our opponent is Zhen Yaonu, how can we not be careful. Just now I wrote back to Gan Lao, I asked him to pretend to be waiting for us at the mountain temple, and when it gets dark, we will disperse and sneak here meet up everywhere." When Liang Qiumo saw that this friend had lied to him, he felt annoyed, and said dissatisfiedly, "Do you have the eyes of the sky when you are a witch? Everything will fall into her schemes." Qi Changzheng smiled and pulled him to sit on the top of the post, and said hesitantly: "Don't be angry, this kid treats everyone equally, and even deceived me. But his worries are not without reason. She knows that our destination is Changde, and she is proficient in There must be a secret method to detect our movements in the art of tracking, and such a large number of adoptive fathers will leave Changde, and they will definitely attract their attention, so we should listen to our little Zhuge and be careful." Liang Qiumo smiled and said: "Okay, okay! I'm just tired and sullen!" Looking at Di Yu who was meditating secretly, he said, "Are you racking your brains again?" Zhai Yushi said: "If we can't win another battle this time, the Nujiao Gang won't have to mess around in the rivers and lakes." Qi Changzheng sighed heavily, apparently not as optimistic as he was.The death of Shui Roujing made him unable to be as frank and unconcerned or confident as before. Zhai Yushi said with confidence: "After meeting with the old man, we will immediately go to the second uncle and the gang leader, and we must get ahead of them." Liang Qiumo frowned and said: "The enemy may know where they are better than us, why can you say so confidently?" Zhai Yushi said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace. Before the first battle in Dongting, I had already set up with them a secret code to contact them after being separated, and a possible escape route. With Second Uncle's shrewdness, he will definitely be able to confuse the enemy until the moment our reinforcements arrive." Qi Changzheng regained his energy, stood up suddenly, pointed to the distance and said, "Look! The foster father is here." When Han Bai returned to Mochou Lake with Mei in high spirits, Zuo Shi and others had not yet returned, and Fan Liangji was left alone in the hall in a daze, without even enjoying the tobacco, which was very unusual.The servants all hid outside the door. When he saw Xu Yeyue bouncing and walking in with Han Bai, his eyes widened, and he looked at this beauty who was comparable to Qin Mengyao in disbelief. Xuan sighed again, slumped against the back of the chair. Of course Han Bai knew that he must have encountered setbacks at Yunqing, so he winked at Xu Yeyue. Xu Yeyue stepped forward and called sweetly: "Brother!" Fan Liangji cheered up a little, he laughed, and said with a forced smile: "There is another cheap girl." Han and Xu sat down on both sides of him. Fan Liangji first waved his hand and said: "Don't mention her, don't mention her in front of me in the future." Xu Yeyue couldn't understand what she heard, and stared at this "big brother" who was almost older than her father. Han Bai grabbed his thin shoulders, held back a smile and said, "Maybe you are the master, love! But I am the real expert, and Yue'er is the best evidence to prove my identity as an expert." Xu Yeyue said angrily: "Damn Han Bai, be careful that Feng Da flashes your bad tongue." Han Bai giggled and said, "Miss, haven't you lost a lot of fun?" Without waiting for her to fight back, he said to Fan Liangji, "Come! The traitor's carriage is waiting for us, and we can study countermeasures in the carriage. Win Yunqing's body and mind, as long as you follow the path taught by me, a master of love." Fan Liangji's eyes flashed, he glanced at him half-believingly and then said: "But you must not tell others about it, otherwise my old face will be kept somewhere. In the future, you are not allowed to use it to claim credit for me, otherwise I will kill you." about you." Xu Yeyue laughed "puchi" and said, "Your big brother is harder to serve than Yue'er!" The chariots and horses walked slowly on Shuidong Avenue, and under the protection of more than 20 soldiers and guards, they headed towards Shuihe Mansion in the east of the city. Han, Fan and Xu were in the car together. Han and Fan were sitting in the front row, and Xu Yeyue sat in the back seat as happily as a bird, while browsing the night scene outside the window when the lights were first lit, humming a beautiful Jiangnan tune. At least half of Han and Fan's minds. After Han Bai reached out and twisted her face, he said to Fan Liangji who had just finished telling the story: "Oh! Lao Fan, you are too disciplined. Do you want to be a teacher? Sigh!" Fan Liang said angrily: "She is a serious person. Does she act like you when she sees a woman?" Xu Yeyue leaned in between the two of them, and chirped like a yellow warbler: "Good scolding! Yue'er is also a serious person. When this villain met him, he made a fuss and bit his fingers. At that time, he really wanted to kill him. thief." Fan Liangji was stunned and asked: "But why did you finally fail at the hands of this little bastard?" Xu Yeyue blushed, retreated to the back seat, and said embarrassingly: "Maybe Yue'er has become confused." Fan Liangji turned around and stared at Xu Yeyue for a long time, then nodded to Han Bai and said, "It seems that you have some tricks." Han Bai put his mouth close to his ear, and spoke quickly and urgently. When Xu Yeyue leaned in to listen, he could only faintly hear him say: "You can cut the mess quickly, and put her to justice on the spot. Raw rice is cooked to the point that it cannot be re-cooked hot." She was so frightened that she retreated into the back seat, blushing and shouted, "Damn Han Bai and the eldest brother are not good people." Han and Fan laughed together, and after looking at each other, they clasped their hands tightly. The carriage stopped, and it turned out that it had arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Ling Zhantian showed his skills, and in a short while left behind his pursuers, he rushed straight through the long streets and alleys, and came to the busy street, walking quickly in the crowd. He flashed into a restaurant, then walked out the back door. The feeling of being watched reappeared. Looking up, he saw a black dot hovering in the air. If it weren't for his sharp eyesight, ordinary experts would never have noticed it. On the rivers and lakes, flying eagles are used to track Guzhu, the escaped general of the enemy's first "Xiaoyaomen".Eagles and vultures abound in the Western Regions, so it's not surprising that Mrs. Zhen has made such a discovery. Ling Zhantian felt a big headache, even though he knew that the beast was following him, he still couldn't think about it for a while. He unfolded his movements and went to the outer wall of the south of the city. According to the agreement, he left a secret note that only Zhai Yushi could understand. His heart was filled with sadness. When he and Shangguan Ying escaped by water that day, they didn't see Zhai Yushi coming. Someone has already killed someone on the spot, so leaving this secret mark may not have the slightest effect. He was the one who could afford to let go, put aside this matter, reached the top of the wall with a "swish", and only swept away when he checked that there was no one outside the city. The vicious vulture in the sky made a quick move and flew away after him. Hu Weiyong went out to meet the three of them in person, and when he saw Xu Yeyue, he didn't show any surprise at all. After some entertainment and chatter, Fan Liangji handed over the package, which definitely didn't look like a big gift from "Ten Thousand Years Ginseng" on the surface. At that time, he winked at Hu Weiyong and said: "This is a beautiful puppet crafted by our country's craftsmen. It is most suitable for home decoration. Please accept it, Prime Minister." Xu Yeyue clapped her hands and said: "That's very fun, can you take it apart and have a look?" Han Bai and the three of them changed countenance together. Han Bai said with a smile: "Later, the emissary will find someone to give the young lady another one, and let the young lady put it in the boudoir and appreciate it slowly." Xu Yeyue said joyfully: "My lord should remember." Hu Weiyong was old and cunning, seeing that Xu Yeyue really didn't know about it, he let go of his worries, took the Wannian ginseng with his own hands, and then handed it to his cronies, putting it away carefully. The banquet was held in a small hall in the inner house. Besides Hu Weiyong, the companions were Lu Zhongheng, Marquis of Ji'an, Fei Ju, Marquis of Pingliang, Lin Xian, Commander of Mingzhou, Chen Ning, the imperial censor, and an old Confucian known only as Li Cunyi.They were stunned when they saw Xu Yeyue, the proud daughter of the capital, but they were obviously more respectful and polite to Han Bai. Not long after the banquet started, after drinking for three rounds, Marquis Lu Zhongheng of Ji'an raised his glass to congratulate Hu Weiyong: "I heard that bamboo shoots suddenly appeared in the well of the prime minister's old house, which was several feet above the water. It seems that the prime minister must have a happy occasion." Everyone cheered. Xu Yeyue put her small mouth next to Han Bo's ear and said: "Someone wants to rebel." Han Bai was taken aback, quickly picked up a piece of chicken, and put it on her plate, Xili Neng blocked her cute little mouth. Marquis of Pingliang Fei Judao: "This kind of strange omen from heaven must correspond to a certain important event. Teacher Li is my master of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, so I should have extraordinary insights." Then Li Cunyi swept his long beard, and said with a dry smile: "Fate is unpredictable, how can I have the ability to predict the heart of heaven, it is auspicious if I don't return it, there is no doubt about it." Although he didn't say it clearly, no one could hear his meaning that the auspiciousness from heaven should be on Hu Weiyong.Everyone toasted and congratulated Hu Weiyong, coaxing him to be elated and proud, as if he had become an emperor. Lin Xian, the commander of Mingzhou who has been silent all this time, said suddenly: "I heard that my younger brother, Admiral of the Navy, General Hu Jie, has received a good news, that the Nujiao Gang has been defeated in Dongting, and even the Nujiao Island has been occupied. , There are many rewards, which shows that the auspicious omen is not the arrow of nothing." Han Bai exchanged glances with Fan Liangji, who had been thinking about Yun Qing until he was in a trance and had no interest in talking, and both could see the shock in the other party's heart. Hu Weiyong pretended to be modest and said: "Where is it! It's just a small victory at the beginning, and it will be considered a great success when we capture Shangguan Ying, the leader of the rebel bandit, to the capital in the future." Both Han Bai and Fan Liangji breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Shangguan Ying and the others survived, they would have a chance to make a comeback. Hu Weiyong saw that everyone was just flattering him and ignored Han Bai, so he hurriedly asked about Goguryeo to draw everyone's attention back to him. This time it was Han and Fan's turn to complain secretly, and they kept taking turns to check the information kits hidden in their sleeves. The old Confucianist Li Cunyi suddenly smiled and asked: "I heard that the geisha in your country are proficient in rhythm. I wonder what the most popular musical instrument is now!" The censor Chen Ning said with a smile: "Why should Li Gong ask the special envoy? No one knows that you and Chen Lingfang are the masters of Goguryeo in this dynasty. How could you not know?" Li Cunyi smiled slightly and said: "That happened more than ten years ago, how can I know the current situation, that's why I asked the special envoy and the chief guard." Fan Liangji and Han Bai secretly shouted that it was not good at the same time, it is very likely that Li Cunyi had doubts about them, so he asked this question. Han Bai coughed dryly, and was about to ignore his mother's nonsense. Xu Yeyue stretched her waist, and said coquettishly: "I rode a horse for a long time today, and I am so tired that I am dying. My lord, why don't you go home first like Die Yeyue!" Even a learned old scholar like Li Cunyi was dumbfounded by her lazy and amazing beauty, and the others were even more fascinated. Xu Yeyue was willing to show her face and sit with her at the banquet, but just saying it was enough to make people envious. Han Bai could not be unaware, and smiled apologetically to Hu Weiyong: "The prime minister's kindness tonight, I will never forget it, but the little envoy promised the King of Ghosts, and now Miss Yeyue is going home. The next officer has no choice but to say goodbye." Hu Weiyong was full of words, but because of Yeyue, he couldn't utter a word, so he got up to see the guests off. Han Bai and others fled in a hurry. Qi Changzheng took a closer look, and lost his voice: "That's not right!" Zhai Yushi and Liang Qiumo rushed to his side and looked down at his husband, only to see hundreds of knights in full armor rushing out from the dense forest, riding their horses at full speed, full of murderous intent. Zhai Yushi smiled calmly and said, "I guessed that Yaoyao Zhen would not allow us to join forces. Fortunately, I made a plan in the letter to Mr. Gan. Come! Let's go." Qi and Liang were overwhelmed, and hurriedly called other people to chase after Zhai Yushi and run away. Mrs. Zhen and a group of masters were standing on another hill three miles away at this time, their beautiful eyes flashed with the light of intelligence, staring at the top of the "death slanting" hill, which was now full of his men, Expand the search. Semutuo rode his horse up the hill and came to the crowd and shouted: "I have driven the enemy into the countryside according to my wife's words. Now our people are divided into ten teams and rushed to the place designated by my wife on fast horses. Lay a net." Master Zhen looked calm, and said lightly: "How is the situation in Qianluo!" Semutuo laughed grimly and said: "They are all courageous people. When they saw us, they scattered and fled into the mountains and forests. It's no wonder that Ganluo is still a master of the black list." Mrs. Zhen smiled and said: "The one who can bend and stretch is a real man. Semutuo, you must not underestimate the enemy, do you understand?" Semutuo shook his head and said, "Madam taught me a lesson!" Zhusou said with a sinister smile, "Since Luo is Yi Yu's generation, he wouldn't be alive today." Semutuo knew that Zhusou could see the dissatisfaction in his heart, so he didn't make a sound, and after saluting, he reined in his horse and ran down the hill. Hua Zhaao said hesitantly: "These Mu people have just arrived in the Central Plains, and they don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, but they will soon realize the taste." Madam Zhen glanced at Caimang quietly, and said to everyone: "This is a golden opportunity, as long as Qi Changzheng and Zhai Ershi are killed, we will be half successful in dealing with the Nujiao gang, so there is no room for loss." .” Everyone suddenly said yes. When Han Bai waited for the car to drive out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately burst into laughter, thankful that he escaped safely. Fan Liang loved this spooky new girl extremely, and he was full of praise. Xu Yeyue listened with a smile, but she didn't take credit for it, she just seemed to have done something insignificant. Fan Liangji leaned his head out of the window and shouted to the driver: "Stop! We're going down for a walk." Xu Yeyue said to Han Bai in astonishment, "What are you doing getting out of the car?" Han Bai leaned over and bit her ear and said, "Your brother Fan is going to steal incense and jade, and Yue'er and I are accomplices." Xu Yeyue froze, and being with these two people, every moment was so unexpected and exciting. Compared with them, what she thought was audacious was just like a child's game, so she couldn't help feeling very interesting. well!If there is no such villain, how can we be happy in the future? Suddenly, she knew that she couldn't help herself to this man who was full of wit and wit.
