Unparalleled Double Harmony

When Lin Yuancheng woke up, his whole body was in pain.

But he didn't stop for a moment because of this, almost the moment he regained consciousness, he sat up in shock and tensed his nerves.

This is also normal, after all, before he lost consciousness, the last thing he remembered was fighting monsters in Zhihua Temple.

However, at this moment, when he looked around, what he saw was a strange and clean guest room, and he himself was lying on a comfortable bed, and he had already put on clean clothes. His wounds have also been treated with medicine and bandaged.

"Ah!" At this time, a maid who was in charge of nursing by the bed was startled by Xiao Lin who got up suddenly, and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Hearing the sound, Lin Yuancheng's attention was quickly locked on the maid, and he immediately stared at her vigilantly and asked, "Who are you? Where am I?"

After experiencing all kinds of illusions in Zhihua Temple, Xiao Lin is somewhat nervous at the moment. Even if he is facing a weak woman who does not seem to be a threat, he is still afraid.

"I..." The servant girl was stunned for two seconds, and quickly stood up from the chair. Shi Shiran saluted and bowed her head in response, "Master Hui, servant girl Xiaoying, this is 'Xiuyun Village', Xiaoying Feng According to the master's order, I will take care of the young master here."

"Who is your master? How did I come here? Where is my companion?" Lin Yuancheng asked as he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and slowly walked towards the window while keeping a distance from the maid. move away.

The maid was also a little confused by his continuous questioning, but fortunately at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Then, a person walked in.

This person, Lin Yuancheng knew, although the other party only gave him a false identity as "Housekeeper Zhang", but later Xiao Lin naturally learned from Yun Shili that this old man was the princess Zhu Qingzhen's side Zhang Ji's father-in-law Zhang Ji.

At this moment, Zhang Jiqian heard the movement in the room with his excellent ear skills from a distance, and knew that Lin Yuancheng was awake, so he quickly moved over.

"You are..." Lin Yuancheng was quite surprised when he saw Zhang Jikai, and he blurted out to call him by his name.

But the words came to his lips, but he couldn't get out.

Because after a short period of surprise, Xiao Lin immediately realized something in his mind—since Eunuch Zhang is here, does that mean that Princess Qinghe is also there?

Considering their Hunyuan Interstellar Gate "killing the son-in-law in a cesspit", and his own "brilliant deed" of "drunk beating the golden branch", he naturally didn't want to face Zhu Qinghe.

As for Zhang Jigai, he was quite calm. As soon as he entered the room, before Xiaoying could say hello to him, he waved to him and said, "Okay." Lin Yuancheng, who was in a daze, said, "You, come with our house."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jikai swaggered out the door with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Lin Yuancheng thought for a while, and chose to go out with him.

At this moment, in fact, Xiao Lin finally recovered from the daze he just woke up from. He thought to himself: I have been unconscious for a long time. If these people in front of me want to harm me, they should have done it long ago. There is no reason to wait for me to wake up, and it is even more impossible to help me treat the wound; to take a step back, even if I am still in some kind of illusion, the other party will not kill me, but still play such a play for me, for sure There is a plan, I will follow them to see what they are up to.

Thinking of this, he walked out of the guest room and followed Zhang Jiqi to the porch outside the house.

After stepping out of the door, the warm sunshine and fresh air greeted him, which lifted Lin Yuancheng's spirit.

Looking out from the corridor, he saw that the manor he was in had elegant architecture and beautiful scenery, and wherever he could see, there were pictures that made people feel comfortable and at ease.

Lin Yuancheng looked at it twice, and immediately thought: Judging from the healing of my injuries, I have not been in a coma for too long. Even if someone takes me away from the capital overnight, I will not be able to go too far in a day or two. , that is to say, this manor is near the capital, and a person who can own such an industry near the capital...

Thinking of this, he is basically sure that his guess just now is correct, the owner of this "Xiuyunzhuang" is probably Princess Qinghe.

To make a long story short, after a while, under the leadership of Zhang Jiyi, Lin Yuancheng came outside a courtyard.

Before he entered the gate of the courtyard, Lin Yuancheng could already hear that someone was fighting with swords in the courtyard at the moment, and Xiao Lin could guess who was fighting...

ping ping ping——

Sure enough, when Zhang Jikai and Lin Yuancheng walked into the courtyard, they saw Zhu Qingzhen attacking Linghu Xiang fiercely with a silver rapier in the open space in the courtyard.

Everyone knows about Linghuxiang, and when it comes to defense alone, Xiao Lin has to be convinced to call him a big brother, so even if his injuries are not fully healed, Linghuxiang can still be a training partner for the princess.

By the way, it is precisely because of Linghuxiang's strong defensive ability that he was not injured as badly as Lin Yuancheng, and he woke up a whole day earlier than Lin Yuancheng.

"Yo, Lin, you're awake too." Seeing Lin Yuancheng appearing, Tyrell, who was watching the battle, immediately came over to say hello.

"En." Lin Yuancheng responded, and then asked, "You are all fine, what about the others?"

"Uh..." Terrell paused, "This is a long story..."

And when they said these few words, Zhu Qingyu, who was asking Linghuxiang for sword skills, also found Xiao Lin. She stopped practicing immediately, and came here without her breathing well.

"You're awake." Zhu Qingyu said as he walked straight towards Lin Yuancheng.

As for Lin Yuancheng, he was a little embarrassed, but everyone was in front of him, let's salute: "Lin, I have seen the princess."

Seeing him bowing his head and cupping his fists, Zhu Qinghe couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, brother Lin, it's only been a few days since I saw him, why are you so polite when talking to me?"

"The princess is laughing..." Lin Yuancheng knew that people were making fun of him, but he didn't care about this level at all. After staying in the Hunyuan Star Gate for a long time, his ability to pretend to be a grandson at critical moments can be said to have improved. I don’t know Taishan, and offended the princess unintentionally, I hope the princess will forgive me.”

Let's not talk about Qinghe, at least in Zhang Ji's eyes, Xiaolin's response is very good.

Lao Zhang thought in his heart: "Although this kid is reckless, he knows how to advance and retreat when he speaks and does things. Although he can't be blamed for everything before, he still endured without changing his face. It is commendable..."

"Hmph...forgive me?" Seeing that Xiao Lin's attitude was so outrageous, Zhu Qing was a little unhappy, "It depends on how you behave. If you satisfy me, I'll forgive you, but if you don't Be obedient..."

When Lin Yuancheng heard this, something was wrong...

What do you mean?What's wrong with me?Could it be that she wants to blackmail me into being her subordinate?

"Uh...princess." Lin Yuancheng's tone became tough at this moment, "Although Lin doesn't dare to call himself a hero, he is still a child of the world, and I have never thought of being a retainer by the side of dignitaries. ..."

"Did I say that I want you to be a retainer?" Zhu Qingyu saw that he was a little anxious, and the smile returned to his face.

"Ah? That's for me..." Lin Yuancheng heard that, it's not right... If you don't want to be a retainer, what should you be?Eunuch to be a eunuch, to enter the palace with you to serve you?It's been a while.

"You and your senior brother, one offended the princess, and the other killed the son-in-law..." Zhu Qingyu is a smart person, and she obviously knows what happened in the previous "shithole murder incident", so she doesn't beat around the bush here, just directly He made it clear and said, "I let you guys recuperate here and teach me some swordsmanship, isn't it too much?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuancheng cast a questioning look at Linghu Xiang who was in the distance.

Linghu Xiang didn't say a word, but just shrugged.

Two seconds later, Lin Yuancheng looked at Zhu Qingyu again, and replied helplessly: "OK..."

…………

At noon on the same day, Lin Yuancheng finally had time to sit down and communicate with Linghuxiang and Tyrell, and asked him what had happened since he fell into a coma.

Here we will not clarify their ins and outs one by one, but tell the storytellers from the perspective of storytellers.

First of all, the crisis of the thirteen dead animals was undoubtedly successfully resolved.

Among them, the real Chen monkey was wiped out by Liang Jingshuo on Yandengpo with the "Pure Heaven and Earth Magical Talisman" when he just escaped from the seal.

Xingji Niu was beaten to death by Fudozi on the streets of the capital ten months ago.

Then there was Daliang Chicken, who was destroyed in a brothel by the impermanent Tai Sui pretending to be Liang Jingshuo with the second "Pure Heaven and Earth Charm" plus his own demon power.

Then, there are the four zodiac animals, the black rat, the quail-tailed snake, the quail-fire horse, and the Jianglou dog, and the seven ghosts transformed by them, namely, the "seven evil spirits" of greed, killing, adultery, delusion, drinking, extravagance, and laziness. ", all died in the battle of Zhihua Temple.

On the night of Zhongyuan...

The big fire rabbit died in the joint attack of Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie on the street.

Ximuhu and Shouxinglong who broke into Donghuamen were wiped out after a fierce battle with Fudozi.

The quail head sheep that broke into the Meridian Gate were destroyed by the impermanent Tai Sui.

And the Yi Zizhu who broke into the Xuanwu Gate... In the process of fighting Yan Danzi, it had the upper hand. Just a little hurt.

Fortunately, at a critical moment, a magic weapon on Yan Danzi's body suddenly activated by itself, turning defeat into victory; and that magic weapon was the little one that was given to Yan Danzi when Fudozi and Shuangxie faced the Holy Spirit together. Pot (Chapter 47 of this volume).

At that time, it seemed that Fudoko just gave Yan Danzi a meeting gift just to prove his identity, and pretended to be a coward by the way... But it was not until the night of Zhongyuan, after escaping from death, that Yan Danzi understood It turned out that Fudoko was saving him.

It's a pity that if you can pinch and count, even if you save many people, you can't save yourself after all.

In order to eliminate Wuchang Taisui, Fudoko chose to sacrifice his life for righteousness after counting his life and death, and died together with him.

So far, all the thirteen dead and dead have been wiped out, but Fudozi, Liang Jingshuo and Master Nengze... all died in this catastrophe.

Death is lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai.

The Sri Lankan has gone, but the righteousness still exists.

…………

The next day, when Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai, and Yan Danzi were still returning to the emperor in the Forbidden City, Lin Yuancheng, Linghuxiang, Tai Ruier, and Qin Feng had all been picked up by Princess Qinghe's men.

It turns out that Princess Qingzhu has been inquiring about the people from the Hunyuan Stargate since she had an encounter with them more than half a month ago, but she was paying attention secretly and did not come out to interfere or hinder them.

It wasn't until the night when everyone escaped from Zhihua Temple that Qing Kai learned from the spy's letter that Lin Yuancheng and others were injured and were being sent to the hospital for treatment. In the villa she bought near the capital - "Xiuyunzhuang".

The doctors that Qing Kai could invite were naturally better than those in ordinary medical clinics, so two days later, the scene at the beginning of this chapter happened.

What needs to be mentioned here is that although Qin Feng is currently in the Xiuyun Villa, Lin Yuancheng didn't see him in the yard because of his serious injuries and he was still recuperating in bed; but what about Yu Jianli... Because of some of the reasons mentioned above, he didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family, so he didn't follow Qing Kai's men from the beginning. Anyway, his injuries were not serious, so he left alone.

During the two days when Lin Yuancheng was asleep, Shuangxie also came to Xiuyunzhuang because he received a letter from Qinghe, and told Tyrell and Linghuxiang what happened that night in Zhongyuan.

When everyone heard the news that both Fuzizi and Liang Jingshuo had died, they were also very sad.

At this time, Tyrell announced something that surprised everyone... He said that he was "leaving".

Where to go?

If you want to come to see the officials, you can guess it-Eastern Europe.

Tyrell told everyone that the time he "fell into the portal and came back" was actually summoned by the organization of his past "master" who was both a teacher and a friend.

At that time, his "master" had already returned to Europe and joined the organization's people. They used a lot of precious materials to open the portal.

According to what they meant, they wanted Tyrell to stay directly. After all, this teleportation spell is very troublesome and almost a one-off, but Tyrell insisted on coming back first to help his Central Plains friends solve the thirteen dead animals first. Even if it is to give up this opportunity to reunite with his past companions, he will not hesitate.

The people over there also expressed their understanding, and after exchanging some information and asking him to take care, they sent Tyrell back.

After Tyrell came back, he concealed from everyone what happened between his "back and forth" because his matter had nothing to do with the crisis of death, and he was afraid that talking about it would distract everyone or cause some guilt.

But now, with the crisis of the death sign lifted, he no longer has to hide it.

Now that those old people have been contacted, and Tyrell now has enough language and combat ability to travel alone, it is indeed time for him to embark on the "road back home".

After hearing what he said, everyone was moved, but it was hard to keep him.

Linghuxiang asked him when he planned to leave, and Tyrrell said that he could wait a few more days until his injury recovered, and then say goodbye to Lin Yuancheng and Qin Feng, and then set off on the road.

When Huang Donglai heard this, he thought of something, and then he took out the "Nine Doubt Cauldron" that was full of cracks with him, and handed it to Tyrell, hoping that Tyrell could drop by when he went west. Once, Xuan Qizong sent Miao Yinzi this relic of Fudoko and the experience of this journey, and at the same time asked the elders if there was any way for him to return home more quickly and safely.

Tyrell agreed.

As for what will happen in the future after Tyrell returns to Eastern Europe and reunites with his "master" and "organization", let's talk about it later when the clerks summon Shuangxie over.

…………

Let's talk about the other side...

When the crisis is over, the emperor will reward those meritorious ministers for their merits.

Zhu Zhu felt very sorry for Fudoko's death, and intended to give the Taoist priest a famous title, spread it to the world, and give some rewards to Xuan Qizong.

But this matter was persuaded by Yan Danzi, the general meaning... It is what you have done, Your Majesty, if Fudoko is still alive, he will definitely not want it, let alone him, I don't even want it.

So in the end, the emperor's enthusiasm for "rewarding" fell to the other two "National Protectors"...that is, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.

And these two guys are also very shrewd, they both understand that as long as they are willing to ask for this wave of rewards, the emperor is willing to give them even if it is not an excessive condition.

What do you want?

Money, nothing interesting.

Fame is even more unnecessary, sometimes too much fame is not a good thing.

At this time, I knew that someone must have something to say, so what about "status"?For example, asking to be a consort.

Then, if you look back at the two lines above, it is said that "the condition is not too excessive", and it is a bit too much for you to mention it.

Furthermore, if you know about the situation in the "Late Ming Dynasty" of the parallel universe, you will know that, in this Daxie, it is not only not beneficial for common people to become consorts, but it may also be a burden.

The son-in-law who was killed in the bombing in the previous article was because he had jumped into the dragon's gate and was in the officialdom, so his status as a son-in-law would make him even better. But for a person like Sun Huang who is far away from the officialdom, it is purely It's asking for trouble.

There is also the most crucial point among the key points - not all of the big princesses are beautiful girls with interesting personalities.

Marriage from the royal family is not something you can pick and choose. When the emperor orders one for you, you can’t say no. Then if you are unlucky by chance, you will meet someone with a bad personality and a bad appearance. Damn, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for a lifetime?
Then again, what kind of reward did Sun and Huang want?

Simple and simple - two gold plaques bestowed by the emperor; on the plaques are the four characters "Meritorious Service for Protecting the Country" inscribed by the emperor himself.

Just hang these two plaques at the Yellow Gate in Central Sichuan and the Sun Mansion in Hangzhou, and they are like two amulets. It is basically impossible for this kind of thing to happen again, which can be regarded as cutting off the worries for the two of them when they walk in the rivers and lakes.

In the future, let alone thousands of miles away from home, even thousands of miles... Even if they go abroad, they don't have to worry about being "stolen".

And speaking of foreign countries, not long after the Ghost Festival, something really happened in the palace.

What's the matter?

During the period when the Japanese envoys came to pay tribute, they secretly stole the treasures of the palace.

Let's talk about this matter, whether it is big or not, or whether it is small or not.

It's just... a little gross.

You said that the emperor declared war on Japan directly for a few palace treasures?That is impossible.

At that time, Dazhu’s diplomatic attitude towards these "neighbors and foreign barbarians" has always been "spending money to buy face", that is, asking others to come to "pay tribute" regularly, admitting that you are the king of heaven and the boss, and then Dazhu's side, Relatively give the other party some "rewards" as a gift in return.

However, those neighbors are also chicken thieves, don't you think I am barbaric?Well, I don't want to lose face either. The things "Tiangong" give you are all domestic local products that are not very valuable. Anyway, you also have valuable things. You don't care about mine, but you are the "boss" , the thing you gave me in return must be real money, gauze brocade...

Of course, it’s okay to just take advantage of you in this “tributary”. What’s even more disgusting is that these envoys even make some small tricks to provoke you from time to time.

And the more frequent the friction between Dalong and the northern nomads, the more the envoys of the surrounding neighboring countries have this tendency, and the envoys of Dongying are the typical representatives.

Well, this time they stole some of your national treasures and went back.

By the time they were noticed, the people had already run away, and the boats had already gone to sea.

what do you doSend envoys to recover it?To be held accountable?
Who cares about you?

When it comes to other people's territory, you and these high-ranking officials are useless. At that time, they will just push two people out to kill the dead ghosts, and then pretend to be confused and say that the things are gone. What can you say?Even if you don't say anything, you may still be ridiculed by the other party that your Heavenly Dynasty Shangguo came to ask your teacher for a little gadget. It's really petty.

The more Zhu Zhu thinks about this disgusting thing, the more he gets annoyed, thinking that I can't deal with these neighbors who live a good life?

Eh?Wait... Don't I have two capable people who have "served to protect the country" in front of me?
The two of you, Huang Huguo, Sun Yougong, Wen Neng opened his mouth "Sakula", Wu Neng killed the son-in-law in the cesspit... Sending the two of you, not only can I recover the national treasure for me, but maybe I can get back something along the way, right?

After thinking about it like this, Zhu Zhu wanted to lead out that—Shuangxie, go to Dongpu.
