Chapter 124 Honghua Pavilion Secret Affairs (1)

On the morning of June 13, Zhanlong’s wife Hang woke up and went out of the south gate with Zi Ruoer and headed to Honghua Pavilion by boat from the waterway. Zi Ruoer was still wearing purple clothes, Murong Xuehang was wearing white clothes, Zhanlong stood beside his sister-in-law, Zi Ruoer stood at the stern of the boat, staring at the vast lake, all three of them were thinking, Zi Ruoer suddenly said: Senior sister, do you know what I am thinking?It was here that Yàn Zidan bid farewell to Jing Ke. The wind was whistling and the Yishui was cold, and the hero never returned once he left.The rivers and mountains of our Northern Han have completely fallen into Cheng Shijie's hands. What I hate is that I can no longer raise the banner of righteousness and return it to my mountains and rivers.I hate a villain like Cheng Shijie who sells his owners and seeks honor, and can still be named a marquis and a prime minister, and be free and easy.

Murong Xuehang asked indifferently: Our Yang family is also an important official in the Northern Han Dynasty. Now he has surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Doesn’t the princess hate our Yang family?

Zi Ruoer shook her head and said: When the Yang family surrendered to the Song Dynasty, my father was dead, and the Northern Han Dynasty was in name only. The Yang family surrendered was at the moment.However, when my father was not dead, Cheng Shijie launched a mutiny and sacrificed Taiyuan to the Song Dynasty, which led to the demise of our Northern Han Dynasty.I wish I could eat raw meat.The purpose of this Red Flower Pavilion gathering is to kill Cheng Shijie.

Murong Xuehangdao: The matter of the Honghua Pavilion gathering has been leaked. Cheng Shijie is likely to send a large army to encircle and suppress Honghua Pavilion. What do you plan to deal with it?

Zi Ruoer said: I have already thought about it. First, go to Feixian Temple to pay homage to Taoist Master Mu. He is resourceful and is my father's close friend. Then we should inform our people as much as possible and prepare to fight Cheng Shijie to the death at Honghua Pavilion.

Murong Xuehang frowned slightly and warned Zi Ruoer: As far as I know, Cheng Shijie has masters, and he must be absolutely sure of dealing with him. You may not be the best way to fight like this, and you may suffer a big loss if you don’t do it well.

Zi Ruoer snorted and said: I am the daughter of Emperor Yingwu of Northern Han, not a female greedy and fearful death. I know Cheng Shijie is amazing, but I must fight him head-on, otherwise I will never know his strength. Senior sister, don’t worry, we have been planning for a long time, and there are many people you unexpectedly.In addition, you and Liulang are there to help me with Ah!

Murong Xuehang looked at Zhanlong and said: OK.

At noon, the river ahead is shallow and the boat cannot pass through. It must be replaced by horses before it can continue moving forward.

So Murong Xuehang hired a carriage, and the three of them continued to move forward. After walking for about ten miles, there was a horizontal river blocking the road ahead. Crossing the river and changing the carriage. Until the sunset, the mountains were already emerging.

Zi Ruoer said: After passing the hills ahead, it is Feixian Temple. Let’s hurry up while it’s not yet dark.

Now that he has left the Hebei realm, after passing the mountain corner in front, the terrain gradually rises up.

After walking for less than half a mile, the peaks and the terrain changed.

Wherever you pass, there is a stream about a few feet wide on one side, with clear waves rolling, rushing from the top of the mountain, with three or five stones in the stream, ranking unevenly.

The rapids came here, and the turbulence was rushing, the snow danced, the flowers flew, the pearls splashed, like the fog, the smoke, the ice silk was bright, the beauty was clear and without waves.

After passing through the stream, further forward is a long and slanted hillside. The hillside is full of pine and cypresses, and it stands tall and half high. The path is winding and appears and disappears. It can’t be seen at a glance. At this time, the sky is dark, and a bright moon climbs into the air, and the moonlight spreads all over the mountain road, and the surroundings are silent.

At this time, a mountain wind blew over, and the pine waves in the forest fell like rain. Murong Xuehang suddenly smelled a bloody smell from his nose, and he suddenly became alert.

Zi Ruoer didn't notice it, just focused on leading the way. Murong Xuehang reminded: Zi Ruoer, why do I feel something is wrong?

Zi Ruoer paused for a moment and said: Is there something wrong?

Murong Xuehang said: When the wind blew over just now, I smelled the bloody smell.

Zi Ruoer said: Senior sister, you have been worried too much. Maybe it was the smell left by hunters after shooting prey.

Murong Xuehang locked his eyebrows and stopped talking, and continued to walk forward with Zi Ruoer.

The trees are sparse but they do not hinder the moonlight. It makes the ground white as frost and snow, and the shadows are intertwined. The moonlight shoots from the cracks between the trees to the ground, like a ghost shadow hiding, gloomy and terrifying.

Finally, I came out of the pine forest. I saw a thousand-year-old temple in front. The temple's courtyard wall was very dilapidated. From the distance, I could see the shading of lights, which was obviously inhabited by people.

Zi Ruoer ran forward happily and knocked on the temple door. The deacon Taoist opened the door and asked the reason and went in to report it. Soon a middle-aged Taoist priest came out with a group of people. He came close to him and bowed the ground first, saying, "See Your Highness the Princess."

The people behind him also bowed down.

Zi Ruoer hurriedly greeted everyone and introduced them to each other. Only then did Zi Ruoer realize that these people behind Taoist Master Mu were all heroes who came to participate in the Red Flower Pavilion gathering on July 15th. Because they lived close to Feixian Temple, they came here in advance to find them and prepared to set off together tomorrow.

Zi Ruoer was very happy to see so many heroes, so she told the story of the list leaked and asked Taoist Master Mu to make an idea.

After Master Mu asked that Xue Hang was Zi Ruoer's senior sister, he said: The gathering of Honghua Pavilion is very important. Since Cheng Shijie already knew our actions and now he wants to notify the heroes from all sides that time has no longer allowed, we simply went to Honghua Pavilion in advance to prepare for killing the enemy and gave him a head-on blow at Honghua Pavilion.

Master Mu's words were just right for everyone. At this time, the Taoist boy from the deacon outside came to report again, and there were guests outside the view to see him.

Taoist Master Mu asked Zi Ruoer to wait in the hall and go out to greet him.

After a while, Taoist Master Mu walked in from outside with three people. The leader of the man was wearing a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing a soap-green robe, and wearing a sword. As soon as he came in, he immediately bowed to Zi Ruoer. Before he could speak, he cried out: Princess... Master, Qi Chenghai is guilty!

Zi Ruoer was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered that there were four powerful generals in the dynasty of his father during his lifetime, Qi Chenghai was one of them. However, he had met once or twice when he was a child. Later, he went to Mount Li to study art, but he never saw him again. He did not expect that he would meet here after the mountains and rivers fell.

Zi Ruoer quickly helped Qi Chenghai up and said tremblingly: Uncle Qi, please stop using this ritual of the king and the minister. From now on, we are all like-minded friends, and we are already called uncle and nephew. We only have one purpose, which is to kill the rebel Cheng Shijie.

Qi Chenghai wiped his tears and said angrily: I have wanted to deal with Cheng Shijie, a traitor, and I only regretted being weak. Now led by the princess, there are so many fellows. It seems that Cheng Shijie's life is not long.By the way, we encountered some strange things on the way. We met several officers and soldiers in the valley. We wanted to kill them, but unexpectedly, these officers and soldiers were not ordinary officers and soldiers. They were all very skilled. I fought fiercely with the genius Fengshan and my daughter-in-law Qiuxia for a long time, but I couldn't kill them all and ran away.I thought it was really strange to meet such a master here, so I followed the officer and soldier. I didn’t expect that in an inn at the foot of the mountain, there were guests with different expressions, as if they were all from the official sect!

Zhan Long looked behind Qi Chenghai, a man and a woman looked like a couple, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong figure. He looked like a honest man.

Zi Ruoer thought about it and said: No wonder my senior sister and I smelled the smell of blood when we went up the mountain. It seemed that Cheng Shijie had already taken action in advance, and the Feixian Temple was already in their sight.We all must be careful to do it. In addition, should we not make any decisions about the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain first and pretend not to know them, so as not to alarm the enemy.

Taoist Master Mu said: What the princess said is that these officers and soldiers are obviously prepared, so we can simply set off a long line, catch big fish, and see them again with the Red Flower Pavilion. This matter should not be delayed for a long time. We must take the lead now. Tonight, General Qi Chenghai will lead everyone to set out secretly and rush to Shuangqi Town to join the brothers who arrived in advance, and make full preparations.I stayed down to deal with the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain. On June 15th, we will see each other until the Red Flower Pavilion.

Zi Ruoer and Qi Chenghai both agreed and simply used dinner. Murong Xuehang and Zi Ruoer discussed it. Zi Ruoer agreed to Xuehang's suggestion. Murong Xuehang and Zhan Long stayed to leave for one day late to help Taoist Master Mu deal with the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain. Zi Ruoer set off at Qi Chenghai and others at night and rushed to the Honghua Pavilion.

After Zi Ruoer and Qi Chenghai led everyone away, Taoist Master Mu arranged an elegant guest room for Murong Xuehang, allowing Zhan Long to live next door, and personally sent a pot of hot tea to the two of them before leaving. Murong Xuehang was very thoughtful and could not fall asleep while guarding the candle for a long time.

Zhan Long was a little sleepy and took a few sips of fragrant tea, thinking about it while preparing to fall asleep.

For some reason, Zhan Long felt uncomfortable inside his stomach and couldn't sleep well. Suddenly, he heard the door of the room be pushed open with a bang, and then he saw two people walking in one after another. Zhan Long was shocked and thought to himself: Why are the little Taoist priests in the temple so impolite?Breaking in without saying hello?wrong!Is the enemy coming?

Zhan Long simply pretended not to wake up to see if he could find an opportunity to attack someone suddenly.I heard someone say: Lord Zhang, I don’t know this boy, it seems to be the helper invited by the little princess.

Another person said: How is his current situation?

I put three steps of soul-calculating incense in the tea. The medicine is very powerful and he will not wake up in half.

Zhan Long suddenly heard that the person who was talking was actually Taoist Master Mu, and he was shocked: It's bad, it turns out that this Taoist Dog has long been betrayal.

Lord Zhang sneered and said: Let him sleep for a while and take me to see the other person.

Zhan Long heard the two of them leaving, obviously heading to his sister-in-law's room and said in his heart: What do you want to do with this old demon?

Thinking of getting up, I pressed my ears to the wall separated from my sister-in-law's room, my ears sounded.

In the next room, Murong Xuehang was lying on the table, already unconscious.

Lord Zhang smiled and nodded and said: Master Mu has done a good job. I will definitely ask you for merit in front of the Marquis. Have all the thieves left?If they are not aware, we will act as planned and prepare to close the network.

Zhan Long was shocked next door and thought to himself: I didn't expect that Taoist Master Mu, the traitorous villain, had already set up a trap with Cheng Shijie. It seems that Zi Ruoer and the others are in danger.

What even more worries Zhan Long happened, and Taoist Master Mu said: Sir, how can this woman fall into trouble?Once she wakes up and finds something strange, she is afraid that it will ruin our major event. Will she be executed now?

Lord Zhang held up Murong Xuehang's beautiful face with his hands, and said repeatedly: It's such a pity to let her die for nothing...

Master Mu understood Lord Zhang’s intention and stepped forward and said: Then tonight, I will arrange this room for Lord to live in.

Lord Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and Taoist Master Mu continued: This boy is useless according to my opinion. I will send someone to throw him into the ravine to feed the wolf.

Zhan Long cursed in his heart after hearing this, "You bull-nosed Taoist priest, will I mess with you?"

You are so cruel. In the future, you must not fall into my hands. You will definitely peel off your skin and cramp and pour some oil lamps.

Lord Zhang said: Keep it first, it may be useful. Now you must catch up with the little princess and the others immediately, and then act as planned with the Hua Village Master.I will lead the army to set off tomorrow.

As he said that, he picked up Murong Xuehang in the waist and threw it onto the bed.

Murong Xuehang suddenly woke up slowly. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man trying to take off his clothes. He screamed in surprise and subconsciously raised his legs and kicked him at Lord Zhang.

However, because the medicine is still alive, even though he wakes up, he still has no strength. The ankle that he kicks out is actually grabbed by Lord Zhang. The force on his big hand makes Murong Xuehang's ankle hurt.

Lord Zhang was also afraid that Murong Xuehang would ruin his good deeds after his skills were restored, so he twisted his hand hard, intending to capture Murong Xuehang's lower acupoint.

Murong Xuehang quickly staggered the meridians of his ankles. The internal force rushing toward the ankles reached the knees, and the meridians twisted. The place where the internal force passed was like a needle, and it involuntarily weakened the impulse.

The internal force in the body immediately sinks, rushing towards the tightly held ankle. When the energy gathers, he twists his body and tries hard, trying to pull out the ankle.

Lord Zhang was obviously a master in the Taoist world. He saw that Murong Xuehang wanted to concentrate and change the acupoints, so he exerted his strength in advance to capture Murong Xuehang's lower body lifeline, then stretched out his finger and poked Murong Xuehang's chest.

Murong Xuehang was anxiously turning his right hand into a palm and cutting it down. Just as he was about to hit the big hand with sharp energy, the other party used a golden wire wrapping method to skillfully avoid her power. At the same time, a stream of true energy invaded the Danzhong point on his chest. The airway was very sharp, just like an iron chain, locking all the seven meridians and eight meridians in Murong Xuehang's body.

After Lord Zhang succeeded, he aimed his mother's finger at the Yongquan acupoint under Murong Xuehang's sole of foot. The sharp and thin qi immediately aimed at the tendons and marrows. Murong Xuehang felt a soreness coming from the sole of his left foot, and his whole leg could not move in an instant. In addition, the wrist pulse door was buckled, and the gathered true energy couldn't help but relax. Then the sharp force of the sole of his foot drilled into the bone marrow, along the pulse, and into the heart, he couldn't help but soften his whole body, and fell backwards. This superb technique allowed Murong Xuehang to see the other party's identity. It was obviously a Shura person who was completely opposite to his sect, and couldn't help but complain.
