"I didn't expect His Majesty to be so proficient in wall-climbing and fighting. He is such a good scoundrel."
"Shut up! If you hadn't forgotten to bring the seal, would I still have had to run for my life like a thief?"
"But it was His Majesty's idea to come in the first place."
"..."
Qin Zheng was choked by him and rolled his eyes. He had to pretend not to hear and continued to run wildly.
When they fled to the river bank in embarrassment, they saw the dragon boat on the river with bright lights. Although it was already late at night, the people on the boat seemed to be still asleep.
I saw Ye Chiying and Suyun standing at the end of the deck of the tall dragon boat, surrounded by a group of palace ladies, looking anxiously towards both sides of the river from time to time.
When they saw Qin Zheng running out of the darkness and Jia Fu who was out of breath from exhaustion, Fang shouted happily: "Your Majesty is back!"
So soon the eunuchs put down the sampan from the dragon boat. Qin Zheng and Jia Fu looked at each other, neither understanding what happened.
"Your Majesty, where have you been? I didn't even tell me to wait. It's such a dark night. What if there are strong men cutting paths late at night on the bank outside? I'm so impatient to call you!"
Su Yun jumped onto the sampan before Ye Chiying and greeted Qin Zheng who had just stepped onto the sampan.
"Oh, it was a good night and I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk with my husband to worry my two beloved concubines."
Qin Zheng supported Jia Fu across the sampan and jumped into the deck of the ship.
"What, what happened? Are you so impatient?"
Qin Zheng straightened his somewhat messy collar and looked at the people around him strangely.
"Your Majesty, the Qingyang Order has just come to report that a mischievous demon has appeared in Qingyang County in front of us. It likes to come out at night to eat people's hearts. No one has been able to conquer it yet, so please don't do it again."
Let's move forward, lest we be frightened by that evildoer."
Zhao Xuan took the words and bowed to answer.
"What? Something like this happened to Qingyang?"
Qin Zheng opened his eyes wide after hearing this
"What exactly happened?"
Jia Fu also forgot about the chaos outside just now and asked hurriedly
"The details...the details are all written on the fold."
Zhao Xuan presented the fold in his sleeve to Qin Zheng and gave a general introduction: "The Qingyang Order said that he is stepping up manpower to capture the monster everywhere. Before that, your Majesty, please stop moving forward..."
"How flesh and blood capture demons!"
Qin Zheng threw the paper to the ground angrily and said angrily, "Now that my people are being harmed by demons, do I have to cherish myself, shrink back and watch the people in front of me continue to lose their lives?! Set off the boat! Set off the boat!"
I want to see for myself who is this person who dares to harm my people of Cangdong Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, you must not be impulsive!"
Zhao Xuan hurriedly stopped him and said: "Since the Qingyang Order is already thinking of a solution, we might as well wait and see. Your Majesty, as the king of a country and the lord of ten thousand vehicles, what will happen to all the people in the world if something goes wrong?
?Your Majesty, think twice!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice about that!"
Ye Chiying and Suyun also knelt in front of him and urged him.
"Your Majesty, I also think that it is better not to go. After all, you are the emperor who controls the world. How can you risk yourself so easily? It is better for me to go alone."
Jia Fu thought for a moment and then advised: "As the prime minister, I have the responsibility to take responsibility for this matter. Please give me a small boat and a seal for dispatching troops locally. If you allow me to act expediently, you may have your own way to solve it."
"Sir, how can I ask you, a scholar, to risk your own life!"
Qin Zheng shook his head decisively and said: "Since I am the emperor, I naturally have the blessing of heaven, why should I be afraid of that little monster? I should go there in person. Qingyang is my territory, and I should go in person to protect my people.
!”
"Your Majesty, you are so stubborn."
Jia Fu thought for a while and asked: "If your Majesty also goes, wouldn't it mean that you have no time to take care of the old friend you are looking for?"
"When should I put my children's personal relationship aside in the face of such a major matter that affects human life and the heaven and earth? If I still only care about my personal selfish thoughts, how can I be worthy of being the master of all peoples in the world? Sir, I would be too underestimated.
"I am"
Qin Zheng knew that he was talking about Chao Yan's sudden disappearance, but he couldn't care less about it now.
He looked at Jia Fu and said: "Sir, I want to go with you. I am so devoted to my duties, why should I be greedy for life and afraid of death? Set sail, let's go together and find out what kind of monster this is!"
"I am deeply gratified that Your Majesty can make such a clear decision."
Jia Fu bowed to him from the bottom of his heart: "Your Majesty cares about the people. He is truly a blessing to the people in the world and a blessing to me in the East!"
Seeing this, Ye Chiying and others on the side knew that nothing could be done to persuade them, so they could only stand aside.
Zhao Xuan walked to the bow of the ship and ordered loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, sail the ship immediately and go directly to Qingyang——!"
Su Yun looked at Qin Zheng talking with Jia Fu from a distance, and thought resentfully in her heart: What kind of personal relationship did the old friend they mentioned just now have? What they were looking for must be the elusive witch from Chaoyan County.
It seems that in His Majesty’s heart, the woman he loves most is not Ye Chiying, let alone me, Suyun, but still Princess Chaoyan!
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Qin Zheng walking to the far corner of the cabin and whispering something to a guard. So she quietly walked over and hid outside the dark cabin, sticking his head in to eavesdrop.
Qin Zheng was heard telling the guards in a low voice: "You don't have to follow me. Just take your men to the shore and inquire about it from a hook fence called Lianfang Pavilion. There is something coming out of there."
There is a human life lawsuit. Don't interfere in anything. Just ask everything clearly. If there is a young master named Zhuo Yue in it, you must invite him to me intact. She will definitely refuse to come. She must use
If there is no such person through these means, then you have to find out his whereabouts, remember?"
"Your Majesty, this servant respects your decree"
The guard bowed to show that he remembered
"Okay, go ahead and don't disturb anyone."
Qin Zheng nodded and dismissed the guards.
Suyun quickly retreated, thinking to herself: It seems that Zhuo Yue is most likely related to Princess Chaoyan or is herself. Even if she is not in the palace, if she comes back, the demon girl will not know what to do.
What's wrong with this? When I was granted the title of Zhaoyi, I borrowed her name as a cover. If she found out, wouldn't she want to take revenge on me? By then, it would be even worse for me to stay in the palace like this.
It's best to send a message to Ye Chiying. It would be a good idea for the two of us to work together to prevent her from entering the palace.
Shangguan De returned to his mansion and carefully placed Chao Yan in his room. Ming Haoran and Shun Ran took good care of him. Then he came to the living room, sat on the Taishi chair and silently recited the incantation. In the blink of an eye, he saw
A small whirlwind blew into the living room and transformed into a tall man in black. He bowed his head respectfully and knelt down to him and said: "Jiuyou Marriage Department, I would like to pay my respects to the most holy Lord Jiuyou."
"flat body"
Shangguan De supported his forehead with one hand, stared at the person in front of him with narrowed eyes, and asked seemingly casually: "Let me ask you, is there the girl who was by my side last time in the marriage that Yue Lao led?
?”
"What Lord Tianzun is referring to is the fairy named Chaoyan who was demoted from heaven to the mortal world?"
The man in black recalled it carefully and answered with certainty: "Whether it is a human being, a god, or a ghost, as long as there is still a woman and an unfinished love affair, they will be tied with a red thread to survive the love crisis."
"Is the other party's name Qin Zheng?"
"Yes, and..."
The man in black gave him a complicated look and replied: "This red line was exactly what Yuelao drew with his pen when he received a water lamp."
"I know that this old man, Yue Lao, has always been immersed in pulling strings, but he will definitely not investigate carefully."
Shangguan De held his hands in front of his chest, and in a mysterious and naughty tone, he leaned close to him and asked in a low voice: "Then, have you tied me up too?"
"have"
The man in black nodded honestly and decisively, "Tianzun's red thread is also tied to Miss Chaoyan."
"Haha! Okay! I knew it"
Shangguan De laughed when he heard this, "This is good, this is only fair. I will cut off the red line between Qin Zheng and her with my own hands. This girl Chaoyan is destined to be born for me!"
"Tianzun..."
Seeing how confident he was, the man shouted hesitantly, but then hesitantly refused to say anything more.
"speak"
Shangguan De raised his head slightly and allowed him to speak boldly with encouraging eyes.
"Actually, what I want to say is: the red thread between you and Na Chaoyan has been tied before she met Qin Zheng. It's just not a marriage between husband and wife, it's just a superficial relationship between Qin Zheng and her.
She is destined by fate, so the fate between you and her will definitely be interrupted in the future because of Qin Zheng."
The man in black explained clearly in one breath
"What! Why didn't you say something like this earlier!"
When Shangguan De heard this, he immediately lost his composure. He opened his eyes suddenly, loosened his arms and straightened up, staring at him and asking.
"Huitianzun, because this Chaoyan girl is the young Siming who was punished for Jiuyou's rebellion and fell into reincarnation. Therefore, you owe her a lot in terms of emotions and reasons."
The other party stared at his shocked and regretful expression indifferently, and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "And Qin Zheng is the reincarnation of the Sirius star official. When Chaoyan was still Shao Siming, he once formed a fate with her in the mortal world. Therefore, in this life, he should
It's just a secret that cannot be leaked. I didn't tell you at first because Tianzun was involved. I can't say that now that times have changed and the overall situation has been decided, I dare to explain it to you."
"In other words, I am destined to be just a passer-by who helps them connect the dots? Can't change it?"
After Shangguan De listened to his explanation, he asked with a gloomy expression.
"Returning to Tianzun, it is true that once it is on Yue Lao's red line book, even the Emperor of Heaven cannot change it. This is God's will."
The other party nodded and replied, with an undoubted affirmation in his tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
