Chapter 576 Leaving the capital again! Subduing Dragon Arhat!
Cigarettes are lingering and fog is rising.
Chen Yuan took a deep breath, and completely entered a state of selflessness and no distracting thoughts, as if he had no desire or desire for everything, which was very mysterious.
At this moment, he is a sage.
After a long time, Lao Yang finally finished smoking. The strength of the smoke that choked his throat was so strong that he rolled his eyes and almost passed out.
This parting will last at least a year, and it is necessary to leave a deep impression on each of them.
Chen Yuan sat upright, without squinting, and pondered for a long time.
Concubine Yang Guifei came back to her senses, both sides were speechless.
Speaking of which, they were still hostile to each other before. Chen Yuan abolished her own brother and sent her to the Liangzhou border. They almost fell in the last war, but they were also half disabled.
But she couldn't hate it anyway.
Especially when he was going to send him away, he was even a little bit reluctant.
Can't say it, but it really exists in her heart.
So, after knowing that Chen Yuan was about to leave, she took the risk and sneaked out of the harem, just to see Chen Yuan again and smoke another dry cigarette.
"Be careful in the south, everything is safe, and don't try to be brave." Concubine Yang lowered her head, sipped a cup of herbal tea, and exhaled like blue.
"You still don't know my character?"
"I only worry about it when I know it."
Concubine Yang Guifei snorted softly, quite like a little girl.
Chen Yuan's personality is well known, but anyone who has been in contact with him will understand that although he is not hot-blooded and impulsive, he is definitely not a stable temperament.
Either he kills, or someone kills him.
If you count Chen Yuan's deeds after he came out of Ping'an County, you will find that he really came to this step stepping on the bones under his feet, ruthless and ruthless.
"Ha ha."
"I've heard a little bit about what happened in the Golden Luan Hall the day before yesterday. In fact, you don't have to refuse. In that case, if the two state officials didn't help each other and you didn't have any major faults, the emperor would not Let me go."
"I know."
What kind of personality is Jing Tai?
It is most taboo for officials below to commit crimes above.
Even if Chen Yuan has made great contributions to the court, he is still just a courtier and cannot resist the emperor. This is despising the imperial power.
But at that time, it was impossible for him not to resist.
If he just suffers some losses, he will bear it as long as he can, it is considered as a plan for the future, but if he wants to tie a rope to him, he still has the strength to fight, that is absolutely impossible.
One of them must die!
Sooner or later.
"I have met Pingyang before, and tested her intentions. I still have great hopes." Concubine Yang was silent for a long time, but she still spoke.
This is one of the few things she can do for Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan glanced at her. Although this kind of thing is not necessary, he still has his heart, and nodded:
"I understand, it's getting late, you have to go back later, do you want to smoke another one?"
Concubine Yang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Chen, who had smoked several times last night, woke up early, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes. He lay on the bed for a while, and finally got up after a long time.
Looking at all the familiar decorations in the room, Chen Yuan let out a long breath.
There is nothing reluctant.
No matter how good the capital is, it is not his home.
No matter how broken Ping'an County is, it will always be his first home in this world. Although it is dilapidated, it is heart-warming.
The news of his departure spread all over the capital, but few people knew when he would leave, and he didn't want to waste time with fanfare.
The person who should say goodbye has met before.
There is no need to say goodbye, and there is no need to meet people who have no friendship.
He didn't see Sima Ke, but it doesn't mean that this person is not important. On the contrary, this guy is still very useful to him. As Jingtai's fourth son, with his current momentum, his influence is not small.
But Jingtai must be afraid of the relationship between him and Sima Ke. In Xuntiansi, he has already greeted several divine envoys. They will not vote for his camp, but they will never make trouble.
These are enough.
For the rest, he has to avoid suspicion as much as possible.
When he was smoking yesterday, he told Concubine Yang Guifei about it, and asked him to pass a word to Sima Ke. Recently, there have been more disturbances.
The position of the prince will be determined.
If he fails, Chen Yuan will do his best to help him get to the top.
This is Chen Yuan's painting cake, but Sima Ke can only eat it.
Stayed in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion for half an hour, and after giving Uncle Fu a few words, Chen Yuan quietly left the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion as if he was going for a stroll on weekdays.
Then quietly left Shenjing City.
I don't say that no one knows, but I don't think much about it.
Chen Yuan came out from the south gate of Shenjing City, and headed straight to the direction of Changshan Mansion. Once out of the city, Chen Yuan, who had nothing to worry about, immediately flew across the sky like a shooting star.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such supernatural powers similar to Huahong cannot be perceived.
"Zheng"
Chen Yuan, who was walking high in the sky, stopped his forward body in an instant, looked suspiciously at the front left position, and the sound of killing pianos filled his ears and filled the surroundings.
Taking a closer look, a woman in a white skirt is plucking the strings under her body a thousand feet ahead, and the sounds of the piano are alternating one after another, which is both solemn and parting.
The woman in the white skirt was wearing long hair, with only a wooden hairpin inserted on her head, she looked unusually free and easy.
The skin is like suet white jade, looking from a distance, it seems to be emitting a shimmer.
The eyebrows are like willow leaves, and also like sword eyebrows, which look very heroic.
Bridge of nose is high, bright eyes and white teeth, strands of long hair move with the wind, and the white dress on her body is also moving slowly.
Scenes like this are no less than a landscape painting, both tranquil and beautiful.
And the appearance of the woman in the white dress was also seen by Chen Yuan at a glance, and he was a little surprised.
Because this woman is the eldest princess of the dynasty, Pingyang!
Looking at what he did today, he should be seeing him off.
After the song fell, Princess Pingyang stood up, looked at the stagnant figure in the void, raised her hand and bowed.
seems to be saying, safe journey.
She didn't know that Chen Yuan would leave today, but according to his movements, it could be counted, so she waited here today, and she didn't know what she was waiting for.
But it finally came.
Just like going to Lin'an Mansion.
Looking at each other, the atmosphere froze.
Neither Chen Yuan nor Ping Yang said much, they just looked at each other calmly. After about ten breaths, Chen Yuan nodded slightly, cupped his fists in a salute, and walked away.
Princess Pingyang stood on the mountain peak, looking to the south, like a watchman stone, she did not move for a long time.
This day is the ninth year of Jingtai in the Jin Dynasty, June 26.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Garden.
Wearing a plain robe, Jingtai held a jade slip in his hand, and looked at the contents indifferently.
There are several eunuchs and maids serving around.
In the garden, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Cao is here."
A young **** bowed and said.
"Let him in."
Jingtai put the jade slip in his hand on the stone table, but after a while, Cao Zhengxian walked from the door to the emperor, bowing slightly:
"The veteran sees Your Majesty."
"sit down."
Jingtai pointed to the side.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cao Zhengxian sat on the emperor's side very familiarly.
"Chen Yuan is gone?"
"At this time, there is no trace of him in the capital, presumably he left." The imperial supervisor's eyeliner spread all over the capital, trying to track down a person, even if the person's cultivation was extremely high, he couldn't get rid of him.
Finding someone is easy.
But if he can't find it, it can only prove two things. One is that this person has thrown off the hidden eyeliner all over the capital, and the other is that this person has completely left the capital.
"Your Majesty, there is another piece of news from the subordinates of the old minister." Cao Zhengxian smiled lightly. Now that the emperor is not in a hurry or angry, he has relaxed his speech a lot.
"what news?"
Jingtai glanced at him.
"There is a secret discovery. At three o'clock today, a plump and beautiful woman sneaked out of Wu'anhou's mansion. I wanted to investigate who this person was, but because I was afraid of Chen Yuan, I didn't move in the end."
Cao Zhengxian said so.
Jingtai let out a laugh:
"You old guy is still staring at this kind of thing. Chen Yuan has never married a wife, and it's normal to have a woman who is close to others, but it seems that the rumors are true. This person is a good wife, different from ordinary people, and he is indeed a young man."
"This person may have a lot of contact with Chen Yuan. If she is found and used as a threat, it may make Chen Yuan fall into a trap." Cao Zhengxian said very seriously.
This is a handle that is not considered a handle.
"What do you think of Chen Yuan's personality?" Jingtai didn't answer Cao Zhengxian's question, but asked a rhetorical question.
Cao Zhengxian pondered for a moment, then whispered:
"He is ruthless, decisive and ruthless, puts interests first in everything, and acts step by step."
"Then do you think that a person with such a personality will do bad things because of a woman?"
"What Your Majesty said is that the old minister has some"
Jingtai waved his hand: "I know Chen Yuan's character a little bit, she's just a woman, she would never risk her life for her, and now he hasn't dared to tear himself apart with me, this kind of trick is just, needless to say.
As long as Chen Yuan is not committing a great treason, committing the following crimes, liking a few women is nothing. "
"Your Majesty's lesson is, the old minister must remember."
Cao Zhengxian nodded seriously.
"How is the investigation of those few things going?"
Jingtai asked casually.
Cao Zhengxian knew what Jingtai was asking, and whispered:
"Lanzhou is not clear, but the latest news from Youzhou seems to be a bit wrong, and it may have something to do with the remnants of the Xiang family who showed up in the north before.
As for Shuzhou, it is still unclear whether there are traces of Shengjiao activities, traces of Tianmo Temple, and "
"what else?"
"There are still some traces of demonic activities. Lu Renjia's death may not be that simple."
"The south is going to be unstable."
Jingtai looked solemn.
"Yeah, so many things came together, and there are indeed signs of instability in the south. It's better to transfer Chen Yuan to another place, otherwise, with his character and talent potential, he may not be able to come back alive."
"This kid is lucky. He has survived so many dangerous situations before, and this time is not bad. He has no intention of marrying a wife, and his ambition is in the world.
I don’t know if it’s true, but I can satisfy him. If I can’t meet my request within a year, I have to come back to get married and tie a rope to him.
His talent is too terrifying to keep, and the next time, not to mention Duke Wei and Zhen Guogong, even counting the national teacher, there is also Wei Jinfeng,
I will never compromise again! "
"Your Majesty said so."
"However, if he really died in the south, he would have to transport his body back to the capital. I'm actually curious as to what he relied on to catch up with ordinary people for decades in just a few years. time."
Jingtai added another sentence at the end.
Cao Zhengxian was stunned for a moment, before he had time to appreciate the contents, he could only nod his head and said:
"Yes, the old minister understands."
"It's been so long, can you find the trace of Huasheng?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, the scope has been reduced by half. Only the central, southern, and western areas of Shu have not been investigated. Wu Daozi should be within these areas."
"I will give you another year, just like Chen Yuan, if you can't bring Wu Daozi back to the capital after one year, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Jing Tai said in a concentrated voice.
One year is definitely considered relatively generous.
And his time is running out, and there will be more than a year to die, if he still can't complete his plan, the impact will be too great.
"The old minister obeys the order, and within one year, this person must be brought before His Majesty."
Cao Zhengxian looked solemn and dignified.
"Okay, remember what you said, go down."
"The old minister resigns."
Qingzhou, Nanling Prefecture, Ping'an County.
The small courtyard of the Chen family, which has not been disturbed for a long time, does not look dirty, not even much dust.
All the brothels in Goulan all over the county know his name.
Who doesn't say "Ping Ye" when they see it?
However, although Wang Ping's power is astonishing, he is always clear in his heart, knowing where his power comes from, and even the adults in Fucheng dare not do anything to him. Chen Yuan, his brother.
Knowing in his heart, he would naturally not be negligent. The Marquis of Wu'an Mansion is still under construction. Apart from supervising the work, he spends a lot of his spare time cleaning and cleaning the yard.
He knows that Brother Yuan is a nostalgic person, even if the palace is built, it may not be as important as this small courtyard.
Since there is not much you can do, you have to do your best.
The original appearance of the small courtyard has been maintained. Anyone who dares to damage a brick or tile in this courtyard will have to pay a huge price.
On this day, as usual, Wang Ping cleaned the yard as usual, and after offering a stick of incense to Chen Yuan's parents and uncle, he turned around and closed the door to leave.
As soon as Wang Ping stepped forward, the surrounding space changed, and there were faint waves. Dressed in a black robe, Xiang Qianqiu, who was somewhat similar to Chen Yuan, walked out slowly.
Looked around in the small courtyard for a while, pushed the door open, and a tiny strand of hair fell from it. Xiang Qianqiu narrowed his eyes, grabbed it, and walked into the room.
As far as the eye can see, there are three spiritual tablets.
No name, but he knows one of the pieces is his.
After staring at the room for a long time, Xiang Qianqiu's eyes remained indifferent, as if nothing could arouse his interest. After observing for a while, just as he was about to leave, he found an ordinary paintbrush on a shelf.
Xiang Qianqiu twitched a faint sneer, put the paintbrush out of his bag, put his hair back, and left the Chen family courtyard quietly.
When he reappeared, he was in the back mountain of Ci'en Temple outside Ping'an County.
A green-robed monk with some vicissitudes was sitting cross-legged on the back mountain. His face was a bit unusual, as if he was in his twenties or in his thirties.
The eyes are a bit vicissitudes.
If Chen Yuan was here, he would definitely be able to find out that this person is the empty monk who gave him the Vajra Glazed Body Kung Fu back then, and he was also the one who gave Chen Yuan a Crucial reminder.
Although the money was collected.
"The donor."
Monk Xuyan nodded and smiled as he looked at the empty space in front of him.
"Is it done?"
Xiang Qianqiu walked out of the void expressionlessly, and stopped in front of him with indifferent eyes.
"The countries in the Western Regions have already begun to make movements. If they move, it will inevitably drive the Lingshan Mountain behind. As long as the imperial court and the Western Lingshan Mountain are at odds, Xiang's chance may come."
Xu Yan smiled faintly.
"These are just trails, not that important. The bald donkey in Lingshan is not stupid, how can he not understand the truth?"
"Hehe, Amitabha."
"You lazy monk, have you finished the tasks I entrusted to you?"
Xiang Qianqiu looked directly at him.
Monk Xuyan smiled and said nothing, and stretched out his palm.
With a cold snort, a water spirit orb emitting black light was thrown into his hand.
"The poor monk is not a subordinate of the benefactor. You and I are just a transaction. Since it is a transaction, it is natural to speak with benefits."
"Okay, let's talk."
"It's already done, but the poor monk is a little puzzled. Why does Xiang benefactor, who has always claimed to be orthodox in the world, get involved with the monster race in the south?"
Xu Yan looked directly at him.
Xiang Qianqiu remained silent, but also stretched out his palm, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Forget it, the poor monk will stop asking."
Seeing that he still needs to get something, Xu Yan no longer wants to ask.
"You lazy monk, you have taken so many things from me over the years, and now you are reluctant to give them back at all. Fortunately, you were once the number one person under Lingshan Bodhisattva, the golden dragon subduing Arhat who shocked the Western Regions."
Xiang Qianqiu snorted coldly.
Xu Yan smiled:
"The Dragon Subduing Arhat is the past, the Xuyan monk is the present, and the natural materials and earth treasures are the future. Since the great change in Lingshan more than 200 years ago, the poor monks are no longer the members of the Lingshan tribe.
Also, the poor monk made a deal with you, guarding Ping'an County for you for nearly twenty years, shouldn't he take something from you? "
"Shou? You sleep here every day, can you count as Shou?"
"At least, that benefactor Chen is safe and secure."
"With Wu Daozi around, nothing will happen to him."
"But you let me come anyway."
Xiang Qianqiu looked at him, changed the subject, and said in a deep voice:
"Follow me, and when I succeed in restoring the country, I will appoint you as the national teacher, so that you can establish a moral lineage and pass it on forever."
"How many people has Master Xiang said this to?"
