    In fact, it is no wonder that these censors were panicked. Lizong was one of the few wise emperors since the Song Dynasty. Although he kept silent for ten years before he ascended the throne, he was willing to be a puppet and kept silent about the powerful Shi Miyuan.

    This kind of tolerance alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people. When Shi Miyuan died, he became a blockbuster and started what the history books call the "Duanping Genghua" with high spirits.

    Although the Song Dynasty had lost half of its country at this time, due to Lizong's efforts and the gathering of talents in the court, the decline was gradually reversed, and it was no longer as helpless as before.

    Seeing that the restoration of the land is imminent, if Lizong suddenly favors a Taoist priest and becomes obsessed with alchemy or the art of immortality, it is obvious that he will be neglectful of government affairs.

    The emperor is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. If he neglects government affairs, the consequences will be unimaginably serious. At this time, the situation of the Song Dynasty is like sailing against the current. If he relaxes for a moment, the entire country will surely slip into an abyss.

    Therefore, the censors in the censorship desk looked at the appearance of Wang Zixu as if they saw the broom star, Sirius, and the evil star, and when they saw that the officials began to favor him, they felt as if the end of the world was coming, and they felt like they were mourning their heirs. This is understandable.  Original.

    When Xiaoyu told Xiao Yuesheng the news, they were sitting around the newly made peach wood round table to eat.

    Cheng Ying's original dining table was very small, and could only accommodate three or four people, so Xiao Yuesheng once again acted as a carpenter. In two cups of tea, he made a large round wooden table that could be rotated so that various dishes could be rotated.  The turning fully demonstrated his ingenuity and was praised by his wives.

    The ten of them were sitting at the round table, and it didn't look crowded at all. Xiao Yuesheng raised his eyes and saw that the round wooden dining table and its surroundings were like a blooming rose, and the women beside the table were all like flowers and jade, with extraordinary looks.  How could he not be happy to be among the flowers with those dazzling petals?  !

    Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were sitting there, no longer feeling strange or constrained, as if they were part of a family with Wanyanping and the others. They had lived in Guanlan Villa for a while, so they became more familiar with each other.

    Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang felt that their appetites were much larger than usual. In the past, it was just the two cousins ??eating in a deserted place with no comparisons. Their moods were as quiet as water, which would not affect their appetites. But now there are so many people, lively and full of life.  The food was extremely fragrant. Of course, this was because Guo Fu's cooking skills were inherited from Huang Rong.

    After hearing the news from Xiaoyu, all the girls looked at Xiao Yuesheng openly or covertly, paying attention to Xiao Yuesheng. They held the bamboo chopsticks of vegetables and made the sound of chewing. They unconsciously became a little lighter and cautious, as if they were before a storm.  Tranquility, waiting for him to scowl and lose his temper.

    "The name Wang Zixu sounds like a pseudonym, and the level is really not that good, but Xiao Yuesheng chose this name. He gave another explanation. Things in the world are originally fictitious. This name is very philosophical.

    The gloomy faces that the other girls were waiting for did not appear. When Xiao Yuesheng heard that the censors on the censorship stage were frantically trying to impeach him, he just smiled faintly, shook his head, and put the chopsticks in his hands with a very disdainful expression.  Chewing the shiitake mushrooms vigorously, it seemed that they thought they were the censors.

    "Brother, what should we do? Censors are no better than ordinary people!" Wanyanping frowned slightly, looking more pitiful and pitiful, making people want to cherish her involuntarily.

    Although she was a princess of the Jin Dynasty, she formed the Qinghua Club with the ladies of Jiaxing City on weekdays. She was not completely ignorant of the affairs of the court. She even had a better understanding than ordinary people because of the royal education she received since she was a child.  Temple matters.

    The censors of the Song Dynasty were not comparable to the previous two dynasties. They were not just decorations. They had great power. Even the prime ministers of the current dynasty could only be impeached by the censor Zhongcheng, the director of the censorship station.  Resign obediently, nothing else.

    My husband has aroused the wrath of these censors, which is extremely bad!  Wanyan Ping couldn't help but worry. If there was another censor who threatened to die to remonstrate with him, then even if he was the emperor and was in charge of everything, he would not be able to help himself. Maybe, as they said, he would put her husband aside  To death.

    "You must have found a way to deal with it, right?!" Xiaoyu glanced at her husband and saw that he looked very determined. She knew him very well and knew that she had a countermeasure.

    Seeing the eager and curious looks in the girls' eyes, Xiao Yuesheng shook his head, stretched out his bamboo chopsticks, and put a piece of fragrant mushrooms into his nose. The coveted mushrooms stopped in front of his mouth, and he hummed indifferently.  : "No! It's not a big deal. The worst-case scenario is that I'll be a prince and fly overseas, hiding in the world!"

    "But Master, I'm afraid someone knows your identity." Xiaoyu stopped her chopsticks and said, with a smile on her hibiscus-like face, not worried at all. She felt confident from the bottom of her heart about her Master.  , always felt that nothing could be difficult for him.

    Xiao Yuesheng threw the mushrooms into his mouth, put down the bamboo chopsticks, and held themHe picked up the jade cup, took a sip of Biwu, and waved his hand: "I have no intention of hiding it from anyone. If you know it, you will know it. It doesn't matter."

    Xiao Yuesheng has many ways to protect himself. After so many years of arrangements, the hidden strength of Guanlan Villa means that they don't have to be cautious and cautious. Moreover, with Peach Blossom Island as a retreat, they can sit back and relax.

    The first thing the disciples of Guanlan Villa do after they go out is to follow the path of the cunning rabbit in three burrows, first find a way out, calculate the defeat before counting the victory, and have no fear of being pursued by others.

    Seeing that he didn't care so much, her wives felt relieved, and they were sure that their husbands would never behave like this.

    Xiao Yuesheng is still waiting to see the fight for the Sunflower Book. Although the fight for the secret book is becoming more and more fierce, it is still not beyond his imagination. Besides, it is better to make a mess to avoid the gang of Yushitai masters.  He had nothing to do and was only looking for trouble for himself. The governor of Lin'an Mansion took care of him, which he couldn't ask for.

    So, he hid on Peach Blossom Island, lazing around, and slowly began to set up some formations.

    ??This place is surrounded by the sea, and the climate is humid and warm, which is quite pleasant, but it is not as good as it is. It is surrounded by sea water, which is inevitably too humid, and the air also has a faint fishy smell. It is far inferior to the warmth and freshness of Guanlan Villa.

    A large Zhoutian Five Elements Formation harmonizes yin and yang, nourishes the peach trees with excess water vapor, making them more vibrant, thereby enhancing the vitality of the entire island, and the water vapor absorbed by the wood air immediately makes the air just right.

    The slightly fishy smell in the air was filtered by the clear and impure Qingyang Formation.

    This formation may seem simple, but it is the most difficult. According to the Taoist theory of clear air rising and turbid air sinking, the yin and yang are reversed, the clear air is raised and the turbid air is drawn away, and the clear air is drawn into the formation.

    There are still many formations in his mind that will be set up on the island, but he doesn¡¯t want to tire himself, so he will do them one by one, taking his time, there is no rush anyway.

    On the official road from Lin'an City to Jiaxing City, more than ten miles away from the boundary of Jiaxing Prefecture, there is a strangely rising mountain called Aishan.

    Ai Shan is like a sword.

    At the foot of the steep mountain peak, the pine forest formed over many years is very lush, but because it has not yet reached the beginning of spring, the color of the forest is a little yellowish. It is nearly a mile in radius, and the official road leading to Jiaxing is covered in it, but it is a good place for robbing houses.  location.

    It was already sunset, and on the official road, there was gradually a rapid sound of horse hooves and the rumble of carriages. Along with the loud shouts, the tired birds in the pine forest were startled. The chirping sounds were endless. Under the setting sun, this area  The quiet pine forest suddenly became lively.

    "Drive-drive-!" The shout was loud and clear, but the person who spoke was quite young, and there was a hint of excitement and heroism in his voice.

    The road in Jiaxing Prefecture is extremely flat and spacious. It is not entirely muddy, but is mixed with a small amount of sand and gravel. However, it is still very dusty. A large double four-horse carriage is galloping at a very fast speed, with two chestnut-colored horses flying with eight hooves.  , galloping at full speed, people can't help but worry about whether the rather spacious black carriage can withstand such a toss.

    After the speeding carriage, the dust was flying, as if a yellow snake was winding and chasing behind.

    The driver on the carriage who was riding the horse was Guo Polu, Xiao Yuesheng's brother-in-law and the son of the Guo family.

    Under the setting sun, in the gorgeous sunlight, only Guo Polu's head was bathing in the sunlight at this time. Below his neck, the sunlight was blocked by the high carriage and could not reach it.

    Guo Polu's eyes were bright, and the original childishness on his face had gradually disappeared. His hair and crane cloak were flying in the wind, dancing in the air.

    He held the whip high in his hand. Although he could not swing it, he looked high-spirited and showed no sign of fatigue caused by galloping his horse.

    The carriage is a head taller than Guo Polu is sitting on. The carriage is completely black, as if the color of dark iron, exuding an inexplicable majesty. The cloud patterns carved on both sides are strange, making people feel mysterious and mysterious.  There is nothing magical about it.

    Although the official road leading to Jiaxing Prefecture is flat, it is inevitable that there will be occasional small stones and small pits. However, the carriage is as smooth as usual and does not bump and turn like ordinary carriages, which shows that this carriage is extraordinary.

    At the back of the carriage, a palm-sized lightning pattern hangs very conspicuously. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is the logo of Ziming Car Dealership.

    This lightning pattern is a guarantee for unimpeded access to all the prefectures around Jiaxing. Although Jiaxing Prefecture has become increasingly prosperous due to Jiaxing City in recent years, the surrounding prefectures and occasionally remote places are still inevitably plagued by bandits. Hanging this lightning bolt  No one dared to touch the sign, which shows the power of Ziming Chexing.

    "Brother Guo, you must be tired, you don't have to go so fast!" A voice in the carriage suddenly said with dignity.There was a sound, like a lark chirping in the valley. Guo Polu, who was practicing the whip technique in the void, thought for a moment and quickly put down the whip made of long hemp rope. He pressed the shaft of the cart with both hands and immediately stood up where he was sitting.  place, turn around and press the car to look back.

    Through the billowing yellow dust, there was no movement behind, so Guo Polu breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head, and deliberately said in a calm voice: "Miss He, we are almost at Jiaxing Mansion. We will be safe when we reach my brother-in-law's place!  "

    "Well,Brother Guo has suffered a lot!Brother Guo, I want to come down for a moment" The murmuring voice was full of hesitation and shyness.

    "What are you doing down here?" Guo Polu moved his eyes away from the rising yellow dust and looked at the thick black felt curtain in front of the carriage. He was a little puzzled. He couldn't help scratching his head again and asked straightly through the green felt curtain.  road.

    "I want to go to the toilet." If it weren't for Guo Polu's profound internal energy, he might not be able to hear the sound like mosquitoes and ants.

    Guo Polu, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, suddenly turned red. He hurriedly sat back down, picked up his whip, pulled the reins and shouted loudly: "Yu - Yu -, drive! Drive!"

    The horse that was galloping suddenly slowed down, first gradually turned into a trot, then into a walk, and then followed the direction indicated by the reins and turned towards the pine forest beside the road.

    Guo Polu jumped out of the carriage, went to the front and took the reins of the two horses. He walked to a pine tree and stopped.

    Guo Polu took a few glances into the pine forest, but didn't find anything disturbing. He walked to the Xuanhei carriage, first raised his eyebrows, then glared, and then opened his mouth wide, waiting for his stiff face.  He became a little more relaxed, took two more deep breaths, pondered for a while, then slowly opened his mouth and said to the car: "Okay, Miss He, please get out of the car."

    The thick green felt curtain was gently opened from the side, and a beautiful face that was both happy and angry was revealed, with an oval face, a slight pear hollow, a sharp chin, a straight nose, and beautiful and clear eyes.  Mesmerizing.

    The next thing that poked out of the carriage was a pair of leather boots, which were extremely small. The beautiful girl pulled her hand on the edge of the carriage, and immediately she got out of the carriage and squatted down where Guo Polu was sitting in the car. Her slender waist  Twist, carrying a beautiful silver sheath sword, jumped out of the car.

    The movements were quite vigorous, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and were indescribably graceful and moving. Guo Polu, who was standing aside, turned his eyes hurriedly to prevent his heart from beating violently.

    There is a silver pearl flower in her dark cloud-like hair on the temples. Five tiny pearls exude a faint pearl glow. The light yellow Luo shirt wraps her exquisite body. Standing in front of Guo Polu, she can only reach him.  The eyebrows give people a delicate and uncontrollable feeling of pity.

    If Guo Xiang knew that the pearl flowers originally bought for him had been given away, he would definitely scold Guo Polu for forgetting his sister when he had a daughter-in-law.

    Guo Polu swallowed hard and said in a harsh voice: "Miss He, I'll wait for you here."

    This Miss He was delicate and graceful, her snow-white melon face was suddenly dyed with a layer of rose color. She didn't dare to look at Guo Polu, she just nodded her head slightly, showed off her full body, and her figure suddenly floated to the dead branches everywhere.  in the pine forest.

    After entering the forest, Miss He turned around and looked back, and saw Guo Polu with his back to the woods, caressing the two horses with his big hands, seeming to be murmuring, obviously he cherished the two horses very much.

    His broad back was really like a big mountain. She smiled slightly and turned back shyly. It was still winter, and the pine forest was bleak, not as dense as spring and summer. Fortunately, this forest had existed for many years, and the pine trees were thick enough.  Can cover a person's figure.

    Guo Polu gently caressed the brows of the two horses. He could feel the slight bulge between their wide eyes with his hands, as if a horn was about to emerge. These two chestnut horses were rare horses, but it was a pity.  Miss He is a delicate woman who cannot bear to ride on horseback for a long time. Letting these two horses pull the cart is really embarrassing for them!

    Guo Polu felt that his neck was indescribably stiff, as if it had solidified into a piece of wood. He could not move at all, and it felt more like an acupuncture point. But deep inside, he felt an overwhelming urge to turn his head and look.  A glance at the scenery behind him showed that fortunately he had a good family background and a pure nature, so he restrained this impulse.

    However, his ears perked up unconsciously, and his hearing was maximized. Unfortunately, he didn't hear any special sound, and he felt very strange.

    "Huh?!" Guo Polu's expression changed. He raised his ears and did not hear the sound behind him. A gust of wind blew, but he faintly heard the hurried sound of horse hooves on the official road.

    He didn¡¯t care about his stiff neck, nor the dirt and coldness on the ground. He leaned over and lay down, putting his ear to the ground and frowning to listen.

    As the son of Guo Jing, he grew up in Xiangyang City and often dealt with Mongolian cavalry. How could he not know how to distinguish hoofs by listening to sounds?  !

    Guo Polu listened for a moment and suddenlyHe stood up, touched his soft beard under his chin, pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind to free the two horses from the shafts.

    After taking a look at the pine forest behind him, there was no movement. Guo Polu tied the two horses to the pine trees in front of him. He replaced the horses with his body, holding a shaft, and pulled up the carriage, trying to pull it into the woods.  Hide.

    "It's just that the woods can't accommodate such a large carriage, so we can only lean on the outermost trees, with no choice.  Even if his skill is enough to break trees, these pine trees are not thin and can tire him to death. Now is the opportunity to recharge his energy, how can he waste his energy like this!

    "Brother Guo, what's wrong?" Miss He stood cutely behind him, her blouse fluttering as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time. At this time, she looked at Guo Polu in surprise, her snow-white cheeks still carrying a  Blushing.

    Guo Polu hurriedly wiped his face, fearing that the mud just now was not wiped clean, then looked back at her and said seriously: "They are chasing us!"

    He pulled this large carriage effortlessly, with ease and ease, but now he was standing in the woods, with the wheels of the carriage stuck in front of the trees, unable to move forward a step, and no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain.

    "Ah?!" She frowned slightly, her jade hand holding the silver-sheathed sword couldn't help but tighten. She turned around and looked at the road behind them. The road was straight and she could see very far away, but there was no one there.

    Guo Polu hurriedly put down the carriage and lay down on the ground again, with his ear to the ground and his expression focused, without any trace of the embarrassment he felt just now.

    "I heard you clearly this time, there are eight horses in total!  There is less than two miles to go!" Guo Polu jumped up from the ground, wiping the dirt on his face, and said in a deep voice, showing anxiety.

    The fragile and pitiful Miss He suddenly stepped forward, biting her lower lip with a slight shame, looking at the ground, and handed the ropa in her sleeve to Guo Polu who was wiping his face.

    At this time, Guo Polu's mind turned to the person who was chasing him. He took the Lopa and wiped it on his face. Suddenly he realized that the fragrance of Lopa was different from that of his eldest and second sister. He immediately felt relieved and his face  Go straight after Guan Yunchang.

    He hurriedly returned Luo Pa, both of them blushing. Guo Polu was still more advanced in internal skills. He seemed to hear the faint sound of horse hooves again, woke up, and said hurriedly: "Miss He, let's ride horses, as long as we arrive there  Jiaxing, with my brother-in-law, we are not afraid of them!"

    Ms. He raised her head, her eyes still a little evasive, she nodded without saying a word and had no objection.

    Unfortunately, the two horses did not have saddles and bridles, so Guo Polu took off the expensive wool carpet in the carriage, folded it into a thick soft cushion, and used the delicate Miss He as a saddle.

    Although Guo Polu is not very smart, he has the habit of following his second sister in front of and behind the horse. He is also quite considerate when doing this, which makes Miss He's bright eyes show gratitude.

    The two quickly packed up. Guo Polu carried their luggage and the green sheath sword on his back. He clamped his legs under his crotch under the belly of the horse, and galloped steadily, seemingly not suffering from the lack of a saddle.  Impact.

    Although the two horses are not thousands of miles away, they are also rare horses. In the situation of the lack of horses in the Song Dynasty, it is even more rare to have such horses.

    During the galloping, Guo Polu looked back at Miss He from time to time, feeling a little worried. However, this Miss He looked delicate and frail, but she was quite strong and galloping on horseback without any trace of panic.

    After galloping about five miles away, the setting sun was getting closer and closer to the Western Mountain, and the sky was covered with red clouds. Guo Polu and the others were finally caught up.

    There were four people chasing them, but they were riding eight horses. Although the eight horses were not as good as Guo Polu's horses, they could still be regarded as horses. After taking turns, they finally caught up with them before they entered Jiaxing Mansion.

    "Heheboy, let's see where you are going this time?!"

    The first rider was a young man wearing a fur coat. He pointed his whip in his right hand at Guo Polu, who had a calm face. He sneered, his eyes filled with hatred and malice, and his words seemed to be gritted teeth.

    He was pale and quite handsome, but slightly thin. It would be extremely easy for a man to disguise himself as a woman. He was riding a high chestnut horse, sitting upright on the bridle, with his thin lips drooping, and a cold smile.  , exuding evil aura.

    The person following him had a strong figure. Under his square face, even if he was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, he could still hardly hide his majestic body. At this time, his eyes were like lightning and cold, and he kept shooting at Guo Polu with one hand.  Pressing on the long knife at his waist, he was constantly accumulating momentum and murderous intent.

    Surrounded by four horses in front and behind, Guo Polu did not show signs of panic, as if he was calm by nature. As if he had not seen the young man in front of him, he pulled the reins slightly, causing the horse to lean down slightly.  So that you can see the people in front and behind you.

    He leaned towards Miss He and whispered: "You go first, I will resist them for a while, and thenChasing you This is my brother-in-law's token. If you wear it on your waist, my brother-in-law's people will come to you.  "

    As he said that, he seemed to be going to straighten the blanket cushion on which she sat. He put his hands in his sleeves and quietly handed the object to Miss He.

    Although his movements were hidden, they could not hide them from the eyes of everyone, but they just sneered. One of the two riders behind him was tall, and the other looked like a young man leading the way. He was leaner, with three strands of clear beard, and some  She looks somewhat elegant, but her eyes are too flexible and keep moving.

    "Brother Guo" Miss He hurriedly pushed away, wanting to refuse, but she was not as strong as Guo Polu, and could not push the big, firm hand at all.

    She couldn¡¯t hold on, and was afraid of being discovered by others, so she could only accept it. She pinched it with her hand under her sleeve, but it turned out to be a smooth and delicate square jade pendant.

    This Miss He looks delicate, but she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. How could she abandon him and run away first?  Although seeing that the opponent was powerful and both were masters, her heart felt a little heavy, but it was absolutely impossible for her to just survive.

    "Don't worry, although I can't beat them, it's not a problem to run away you go first, I'll be there soon!" Guo Polu advised in a low voice, staring at the front and back, guarding against the sudden sudden appearance of the four people who were sneering.  Get angry.

    Before Guo Polu left the house, Guo Jing passed on to his son the key points taught by his masters when he first came out of the martial arts world: "If you can't beat him, run away!"

    Compared with the original Guo Jing, Guo Polu was completely different. The Nine Yin Manual he practiced was very different from the martial arts his father had learned at the beginning. He also had enough money to meddle in other people's affairs. When a hero saves a beauty, he causes trouble.  There's always trouble coming.

    "No, we have to go together, and we have to stay together!" Miss He stared at Guo Polu closely, biting her jade teeth like braided shells, and said softly but firmly.

    Guo Polu could understand the firmness in her watery eyes, and although he was moved in his heart, he frowned a little.

    Although Miss He's martial arts is not bad, she is still far behind Guo Polu. Staying here will only distract him, but it will have little effect.

    "Who are you?!" Guo Polu stopped whispering to Miss He, straightened up, his face darkened, and he shouted in a low voice, quite powerful.

    He knew that his tongue was stupid, and he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade Miss He. He secretly looked at the sky. At this time, the sunset had begun to set, and the sky was getting darker. If he delayed it again, he would start again when it got dark, and he would have a better chance of escaping.  Bigger.

    With Miss He by his side, in order to protect the fairy beside him, Guo Polu's mind turned faster than ever before and became much clearer and more sensitive. He came up with a delaying strategy. Although it was difficult to implement, it was  It can be considered an improvement.

    "Boy you have killed so many of us and yet you don't even know who we are. It's really unreasonable!! You must die!!" The young man's resentment could no longer be suppressed. He waved his soft whip in his hand and pointed towards  Guo Polu was struck in the head and face, and a scream suddenly sounded, as shrill as a ghost crying.

    Guo Polu just slanted his shoulders and dodged Li Xiao's whip as if he didn't care. He really didn't think highly of this old man's skills. He just secretly blamed himself for being so soft-hearted and a woman's kindness.  This guy even let him lead people to hunt him down, turning him into a lost dog.

    However, this time, something might not be good. Looking at the eyes and slightly bulging temples of the three people, they might not be able to escape. He secretly beat a drum in his heart and touched a jade talisman that his brother-in-law left for him.  .

    "This jade talisman was handed over to me by my brother-in-law before he left. If he was in danger of his life, he would crush the jade talisman."

    "Who are you?!" Guo Polu insisted on asking without fighting back.

    When he thought of his brother-in-law, he couldn't help but think of his eldest sister. It would be too embarrassing if he told his eldest sister about this incident in the future without knowing who he killed or who was chasing him.
