Dare to Live Up to the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅰ

Finally, Zhan Pei decided not to sleep with Xiao Bei, and just after it got dark, he rolled up his bedding and ran back to his room, but Xiao Bei said with an expression of displeasure, "Hero Zhan, you This is leaving?"

"Then what do you want from me?" Zhan Pei hugged the bedding and ran away without looking back.

Xiaobei sighed behind him and shook his head. After being troubled for several nights, he can finally sleep peacefully tonight.

In hot summer, even after nightfall, it is still hot enough. Gongsun Mingyue sits in the yard drinking tea, looking at the starry sky helplessly. The sky is full of stars. The night is so beautiful tonight, and there are bursts of frogs and cicadas in the breeze , the fireflies also started to come out with lanterns to look for food, Zhan Pei went to bed early, and Xiao Man was angry with herself because of what happened a few days ago, so the beautiful moonlight can only be enjoyed by herself.

If he was here, he would definitely be willing to invite him to drink tea with him, but unfortunately...

After Gongsun Mingyue took a sip and put it down, she couldn't help but think back to the burned bamboo house that day. Since he was out of danger, why didn't he come to him? Didn't he agree at the beginning that after he escaped, he would definitely return his innocence? Why now? He didn't even show his face, was he dissatisfied with him or himself?

He picked up the teacup on the table and drank the hot tea in one gulp. After drinking the ginger tea made by Xiaoman these days, he felt that his body was much better than before. Maybe it was because of the hot weather, so it was good, at least for himself If I have time to pay him justice and settle the case, even if the cold winter comes, I will walk away without complaint or regret.

On the roof not far from Gongsun Mingyue, a black shadow flashed past and quickly disappeared behind the wall. All of this happened so suddenly that Gongsun Mingyue naturally didn't know it. The black shadow just disappeared, followed by another A dark shadow chased after him, and he was still drinking alone against the moon.

There were also two dark shadows hidden by the back door of the yamen. They also jumped out of the courtyard door one after the other and ran to the distance.

……

The moonlight tonight is beautiful, but Lanzhu is in a secret cave, running around in a hurry.

"Xiao Zhu, don't worry, maybe the sect master has been delayed by something." Seeing her anxious appearance, Ah Jiu comforted her reluctantly.

"Maybe I'm afraid of you, afraid that you will provoke some unclean people." Sun Hongniang said sarcastically from the side.

Lan Zhu gave her a blank look, and said displeasedly: "If the sect master hadn't saved you last time, how could you have escaped so easily? Now I have left safely, and the sect master knows this. Compared with you, I But you are not as capable as you, and the sect master needs to come forward to save you in person."

"You." Sun Hongniang's face turned red and white with anxiety, and she glared at her bitterly.

"Okay, don't fight as soon as you meet, the sect master doesn't like you like this." Ah Jiu quickly stood between them, afraid that if she was careful, they would fight.

"Hmph." Both of them snorted and then turned around and stopped talking.

Ah Jiu walked to the entrance of the cave, looked left and right, returned to the cave again and said anxiously: "Since the owner of the gate knows that you have escaped safely, why hasn't he contacted us for so long? We are leaving after we finish this order." , we can’t let anything happen at this juncture.”

"No way?" Lan Zhu seemed to be a little unconfident in reply.

Ah Jiu sighed deeply and said, "I don't know." After speaking, he walked to the entrance of the cave again.

It was silent outside the cave, and their men hid in secret places to prevent special situations from happening at any time, so even the cry of frogs was almost inaudible, only the annoying cicadas.

The three of them were silent. For them, tonight would either be notified by the door owner to move to a safe place, or it would be another night without incident.

Time passed slowly, seeing the moon come to the top of the head, it was almost late at night, they thought, it would be a waste of effort tonight, Ah Jiu wanted them to go to rest, wait for the door to open, can you wait for the door Lord, who knew, a black shadow flashed past the cave door and immediately entered the cave, Ah Jiu and the others couldn't help being startled.

"Sect Master."

After the three of them saw the person coming, they all called out excitedly, the restlessness of waiting for a long time disappeared, and finally the result came.

The door owner didn't reply, but went to the carriage and inspected it and said, "Is there any mistake in the quantity this time?"

"Go back to Sect Master, there is nothing wrong." Lan Zhu bowed his head and said.

"That's good." The sect master turned to Ah Jiu and said, "Ah Jiu, this time the mission is yours. Send it directly to Xianyang. There should be no mistakes in the middle, and there should be no delay in time."

"But, we don't always..." Sun Hongniang said suddenly, but immediately met the door master's sharp gaze, which frightened her so much that she didn't dare to continue.

"Ah Jiu knows, are you leaving tonight?" Ah Jiu asked.

"Yes, let's go immediately." After the door master finished speaking, he looked at Lanzhu, and said with a look of unbearable impatience in his eyes, "You also go with Ah Jiu. Without my order, you are not allowed to return to Tianshui Town."

Lan Zhu stepped forward and asked puzzledly: "Why? Aren't you going with us?"

The door owner turned his head, looked at a point outside the cave, sighed deeply and said, "I can't go, because I still have something to do, so I can't go." After finishing speaking, he looked at Hongniang Sun and said, " You can't leave either, don't forget, you haven't finished what the emperor told you, if the emperor finds out, you should know what the consequences will be?"

"However, you were the one who dragged me into the water in the first place. Are you going to let me take the blame now?" Sun Hongniang said unwillingly.

"Who said you took the blame alone, am I still here?" The door owner said to Ah Jiu again, "You and Lanzhu leave as soon as possible, I can't stay out for too long, I have to go back, otherwise he will get suspicious of."

"But..." Lan Zhu still wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.

Just when they were about to leave, Yan Xi came. He didn't come alone, he brought another person with him, and this person was Pang Ce.When Yan Xi blocked the door of the cave, everyone in the cave couldn't help opening their mouths in astonishment.

Ah Jiu quickly took out the saber from his waist and stood in front of the door owner, his face full of vigilance.

"Why are you here?" Lan Zhu asked in surprise.

"I've been following you all this time, but you didn't notice that's all." Yan Xi said with a smile, "But it's thanks to our huge general, without him, how could we easily be followed without being caught What do you think?"

"Why?" Lan Zhu looked at Pang Ce who had come back from the dead, with complicated emotions in his eyes, and his voice choked up.

Pang Ce glanced at her, then at the sect master, and said flatly, "Since you want to frame me, you should know that I will never let it go."

The door master pushed away Ah Jiu's body, walked up to Pon Ce, and said, "You think you can stop me? Don't forget that Lan Zhu and Ah Jiu can force you to jump into the Valley of Unrequited Love together, and even more so." Let alone me."

There was a deep smile in the corner of Ponce's eyes, and he hummed softly twice: "Do you think I need to do something?"

The door master looked at the two people in front of him with great interest, and laughed, "Do you think you can control the four of us if you don't do anything?"

"Of course." As soon as Pon Ce finished speaking, a person walked in from the cave door, causing the owner of the cave to kneel on the ground.

Zhao Zhen looked at the kneeling person in front of him coldly, without any gesture or expression, but slowly walked to the chair prepared by Eunuch Fu and sat down.

"emperor."

The words of the sect master caused the three people present to fall to their knees in fright. They did not expect such a sudden turn.

The martial arts master of the Hongdu Sect is so strong that it would be extremely difficult to take him by force. If there is anyone in the world who can take him down, then apart from him, Zhao Zhen, I am afraid that there is no one else.

Yan Xi knew this, and Gongsun Mingyue also knew this, so they sent a secret letter to the emperor early on, but they didn't reply for a long time, presumably because once this matter was exposed, it would definitely damage the dignity of the royal family, so he Never agreed.

Zhao Zhen knew that there was a traitor in the Hongdu Gate, but he never knew who it was, and the people he sent out always reported something strange, waiting to be investigated.He knew he couldn't wait any longer, and in the past few years, Hongdumen's information had caused him to kill many people by mistake, so he had long wanted to find a reason to abolish them, but the people he chose at the beginning, after all these years He has won over many cronies all over the country, and it is not so easy for him to abolish them, but now, Zhan Pei finally sent him the reason.

Zhao Zhen stared at the kneeling sect master below and said calmly: "Now don't you need to use any black veil to cover your face, and let everyone see your true face."

The door master raised his head, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared quickly. He stood up and slowly removed the black veil from his face.

Xiaobei's face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Pang Ce couldn't help taking a breath, and said, "You are Shen Congliang?"

Xiaobei, no, he should be called Shen Congliang.

Shen Congliang rolled his eyes at him, and said with disdain: "Yes, I am Shen Congliang."

Yan Xi looked at him and asked, "Then who is that in Xianyang?"

"That's my substitute, the emperor acquiesced to that at the time." After Shen Congliang finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Zhen and asked again, "Your Majesty, do you think so?"

Zhao Zhen turned his head away in embarrassment, stopped looking at him, and stopped talking.

Seeing this situation, the hatred in Shen Congliang's eyes deepened, and he was not as innocent as Xiaobei at all.

"Since the emperor is here, I'm going to explain the matter clearly," Shen Congliang said with his hands behind his back, pacing up and down in the cave, "Since you can think of letting the emperor come, then you must have already understood our affairs It’s clear for a moment. You must also know that the Hongdu Gate was originally ordered by the emperor, so it has nothing to do with me?"

Yan Xi strode up to him, and said displeasedly: "Could it be that the emperor ordered you to fabricate the facts to do evil? Is there anyone else who privately refines gold?" He pointed to the carriage behind Shen Congliang and said.

"This?" Shen Congliang laughed loudly, "This is naturally also ordered by the emperor."

"I don't think so?" Yan Xi said lightly.
