The sea is wide and the mountains are far away

Chapter 22

Jun Shanyao found out that Xinghun did not exaggerate that day.

On the third day after the Yin Yang family collapsed, Ying Zheng summoned her over.

She knelt down in front of Ying Zheng respectfully.There were doubts about her in the empire before, and she barely cleared her suspicion with a ruthless hand, so Li Si suppressed this matter, and now the Yin Yang family who knew her identity had all been cleared, and the rest Gongsun Linglong didn't have enough evidence to testify against herself, and she won't be unhappy in front of Ying Zheng for the time being, so her current status is still very good within the empire.

Ying Zheng went straight to the point: "I was greatly disappointed with the matter of the Yin Yang family before. I don't want me to honor and favor them, but they even fooled me with fake elixirs."

Jun Shanyao lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, thinking that he was also involved in the fake medicine.

Ying Zheng continued: "Without the elixir of life, how can I continue my career? A few days ago, I saw an object called Zhan Zu in an ancient book (the setting of Zhan Zu comes from "Zhan Zu") Poll Bureau Strange Records"), you can change your life."

Jun Shanyao raised his head slightly.

Zhanzu, it's not that she hasn't heard the master mention it, it's just that this thing is old, and she doesn't know if it really exists.Ying Zheng mentioned it at this time, presumably he wanted to find it for him himself.

"I'll give you three months to find General Zhanzu for me, otherwise..."

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "Oh? What do you want to say?"

Jun Shan saluted far away, and said, "Not to mention whether Zhanzu really exists, even if it does exist, such a small thing is really hard to find."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Three months is too short, at least two years."

Yingzheng showed displeasure on his face: "Two years? So long?"

Jun Shanyao was still neither humble nor overbearing: "Return to Your Majesty, yes. Three months is too urgent. If you can't find or be deceived by someone to find a fake Zhanzu, it will be bad for Your Majesty. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to grant a grace period of two years. I must find the real Zhanzu for His Majesty."

Ying Zheng weighed the pros and cons, and finally agreed: "That's it. If you can't bring Zhanzu back after two years, I will take your head."

"Yes."

"By the way, this Zhanzu...what the hell is it?" Bandit Zhi asked while rubbing his chin.

On the edge of a cliff near the sea on the outskirts of Sanghai City, the people left behind by the Mo family and Quicksand gathered here.

"King of stealing kings, haven't you even heard of this?" Bai Feng taunted with raised eyebrows.

Jun Shan gave Bai Feng a sideways look, and said, "Then tell me, what is this Zhan Zu?"

Bai Feng was speechless.

Jun Shan Yaoxin said, I knew it and you didn't either.She sighed softly and explained to everyone: "The so-called Zhanzu is the ancestor of divination. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, people used to use tortoise shells as divination tools to ask about the future, and Zhanzu was the first one used for divination. The tortoise shell, after absorbing the aura of the sun and the moon, has the function of changing life."

"Change your fate? No wonder Ying Zheng is in a hurry to ask you to find him. His elixir of life is ruined, but he still tries to live forever."

"Longevity may not be a good thing. Zhanzu may not really make him live forever." Jun Shanyao paused and said, "I only know about Zhanzu's three changes, but I don't know how to change."

Robber Zhi brushed the two strands of hair in front of his forehead, and asked, "Are you really going to find Zhanzu for Ying Zheng?"

"That's not going to happen." Jun Shanyao looked at Robber Zhi with a half-smile, "It's just that Ying Zheng wants me to come back to life in two years, so what should I use to fool him? What's more, now that he's entrusting this matter to me, I'm I can’t stay in Songhai for a long time, and I haven’t figured out where I should go next.”

"Then why not go to Dongjun." A familiar voice came from behind, making Jun Shanyao's scalp tingle.

The man walked forward slowly: "The stone of Yinghuo appeared in the land of Dongjun, and now the internal fighting among the farmers is very fierce. If we want to make things happen, we still need the help of the farmers."

"But haven't you sent Mr. Ge Nie and the others to Dongjun?"

Zhang Liang walked up to her and stood still, looking down at her slightly: "The development of the matter is still beyond our imagination. The Eight Swords of the King of Yue have appeared. I'm afraid that Xiao Gao and the others will not be able to handle it."

Jun Shanyao took two steps back, widened the distance between himself and Zhang Liang, and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, our first villa owner said that he should not participate in the struggle of any forces. I have violated the doctrine by helping you earlier. , I can’t make the same mistake again and again.”

"Oh?" Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.Chi Lian and Bai Feng, who were familiar with him, saw it, and looked at Jun Shanyao with sympathetic expressions.Knowing that something was wrong, Jun Shan took a few steps back.

"I remember that personal grievances are not counted."

"You!" Jun Shanyao stared angrily, "You're using me as a weapon!"

She helped Zhang Liang before because she was in a special period of avenging her master. Now that the vengeance has been avenged, it is time for her to get out, but she never thought that Ying Zheng would order her to find Zhan Zu—but two One year is enough for her to come up with a perfect escape plan.

However, Zhang Liang privately arranged for her to go to Dongjun at this time, and her head ached.

She knew that Zhang Liang was so confident because he would never refuse, Jun Shanyao thought about it for a moment, and thought that this time he was really in his boat.But now that the imperial forces are gathering in Sanghai, there are too many eyes and ears here, so I must always be on guard against being discovered as an undercover agent, which is indeed frightening every step of the way.It's better to go to Dongjun, a little farther away, to avoid the center of power, so as not to be drawn into the whirlpool.

She finally agreed to Zhang Liang's proposal, and after making some arrangements, she was going to Dongjun.The rest of the affairs were not difficult to arrange, except for the matter of Jun Qingjia, which made it difficult for her.His apprentice has sincere feelings for Yan Lu, and Yan Lu obviously has sincerity for her.She, Jun Shanyao, can't do such evil things to destroy people's marriages, but she has been away for at least two years, and I'm afraid that Qing Jia will not get used to it without her own care.

Zhang Liang had already thought about this matter. In order to let Jun Shanyao go to Dongjun with peace of mind, he considered everything for her.It was announced to the public that Jun Qingjia was Yan Luyuan's niece, and her parents died and she came to join her uncle. Although this statement sounded familiar, Jun Shanyao had no other choice but to agree.

"Qingjia needs to be taken care of." Jun Shanyao rode on the horse and took the cloak handed over by Zhang Liang, "You also take care of yourself."

Zhang Liang smiled at her.

"Go."

Jun Shanyao rushed all the way, although she knew that things that Zong and Heng could not solve together, and she would not be able to solve them by herself, but since she agreed to someone, she still had to do her best.

The territory of Dongjun is not as prosperous as Sanghai City, and because of the recent Yinghuozhi stone incident, a large number of troops have been stationed, and the people seem to be living in dire straits.

Jun Shanyao rode a horse and galloped down the street. She was anxious to find an inn to live in first, then buy some cakes and the like to reward herself, and finally think about the farmer's family and the Mo family's affairs.

This time Yingzheng asked her to go to Zhanzu, but let her pick up a ready-made bargain - for the convenience of action, Yingzheng gave her a token, and the imperial officials and soldiers were not allowed to do anything to her after seeing this token. any obstruction.Jun Shanyao weighed this genuine token, and thought of the high imitation token that Zhang Liang sent him a few days ago, and couldn't help but sigh that it really is the turn of feng shui.

But even with the token, she still had to act cautiously, so she stayed in an inn first, and planned to wait until nightfall before acting.

When night fell, Jun Shanyao had already changed into a set of dark clothes that were more convenient for movement.The room she chose was at the end of the second floor. Behind the inn was a path that was not easy to be found. She opened the window and jumped down.

She didn't know where the end of the path was, but not long ago she felt a vague murderous aura lingering. This murderous aura was different from what she had seen before, so she wanted to find out.

With the help of her excellent perception, she quickly found the source of the murderous aura-it was near the cliff and deep in the woods.Jun Shan turned over in twos and twos and hid himself in a nearby tree.

She gently pushed aside the leaves, and looked through the gap, and found that both sides of the standoff were actually people from the empire—the shadow guards in dark red soft armor and the web killers with spider web patterns embroidered on their clothes.Of the two leaders, one was Zhang Han who had worked with Jun Shanyao in Sanghai for a period of time, and the other was wearing a Qin soldier's armor, with a mask covering his face so that he couldn't see clearly.

It seems that Zhang Liang's deduction is not wrong. The dispute between the farmers is actually a struggle within the empire. The Shadow Secret Guards are directly under Yingzheng's orders, and the Luowang is Li Si's killer organization—this way, some problems can be explained.

"who?"

Jun Shanyao was slightly distracted, but he didn't realize that the person under the tree suddenly made an attack. The man's sword turned and cut off the branch where Jun Shanyao was hiding, and she fell down.

Zhang Han recognized her, and said in surprise, "Jun... the owner? Why are you here?"

Jun Shanyao stood up in embarrassment, and patted the dust on her body. Only then did she see Zhang Han's appearance clearly. There were dark blood on the corners of his forehead and around his mouth, which obviously hurt his internal organs.

"I'll explain to you later, but you, are you okay?"

Zhang Han smiled wryly and shook his head.

The leader of Luowang sneered: "Since they are all here, let's die together."

The author has something to say: emmmm starts the next dungeon, I personally like Zhang Han's line very much, but according to the historical ending, General Zhang is not very good.Well, the relationship between the two was more fun in the later period, and the heroine became Zhang Han's subordinate.
