Three Wonders of Huashan

Chapter 167

Fang Ze was dressed in Taoist robes, a golden crown on his head, and a long sword on his back, and marched along the official road all the way to the capital.Because today's son worships Taoism, everyone respects him along the way, and there are not a few wealthy households who are fasting monks and preaching, so Fang Ze has no place to use the bank notes in his arms.I had no choice but to exchange the banknotes for dozens of taels of silver on my back, and when I saw poor people, I gave them away.

The people who have been favored along the way thanked him a lot and sang their praises, which made Fang Daoye feel quite refreshed.Therefore, giving out money is even more extravagant, and even reaching the border of Hebei, there is not much money left in his hands.

At this time, Fang arrived at the boundary of Baoding, Hebei, and was close to the capital, and the official road gradually became more and more popular.There is an endless stream of traffickers and pawns.Only the sound of gongs beating to clear the way came from behind, and a group of soldiers surrounded the carriages and drove towards this side.

Merchants on the official road scrambled to both sides of the official road.Fang Ze stepped aside and took a look, but saw that there were about fifty or sixty soldiers in this army.At first, there was a person wearing a red shirt with arrow sleeves, with long hair tied on top of his head, looking around, his pretty face froze, it turned out to be a pretty girl.

Fang Ze looked back and saw that the two carriages were surrounded by a group of soldiers. On the carriages was a dragon flag waving in the wind, with the words "Daming King of Shu" written on it.Hearing the creaking of the axles, it was obvious that the carriage was not light.

Fang Ze secretly said: "The King of the Ming Dynasty is not allowed to enter the capital without an edict. The king of Shu entered the capital with great fanfare. Could it be that he also obtained the emperor's will?"

He was engrossed in his thoughts, and suddenly he heard a loud noise in his ears, but it was the woman in red who pulled the horsewhip in her hand over her head.

"Dog priest! What are you looking at?"

Fang Ze stepped aside and said angrily, "You're blind! How can you still be called a thief when you grow up to be like a Daoist?"

"Bold! How dare you insult the princess!" The carriage stopped suddenly, and all the soldiers drew their knives out of their sheaths one after another.Immediately, seven or eight soldiers surrounded Fang Ze.

The girl in red had never been insulted like this before, seeing Fang Ze dodge her whip.Regardless of the moment, two lashes, three lashes, four lashes, five lashes... were drawn towards Fang Ze one after another.

Fang Ze grinned and shuttled among the shadows of the whip, and when the girl in red had finished whipping her five lightning whips, Fang Ze put his head in front of the girl in red's horse, grabbed the horse's bridle, and said with a smile, "See clearly, like Master Dao is so rich, handsome, and immortal, how could he not be in the same league as that rogue-eyed four-character."

The girl in red was taken aback, and waved her hand to fight again, when suddenly she heard a childish voice in the carriage saying: "Sister, don't make trouble! This is not the middle of Sichuan, what my father told me, have you forgotten?" ?”

The red-clothed girl's expression darkened when she heard the words, and then she said unconvinced: "Could it be that I have acted recklessly and bullied others in Sichuan? Isn't it because I don't feel angry with demons and rumors to confuse people, and I get angry when I see it... Besides, this Taoist thieves... are sneaky, and they are not good people at first glance..."

The girl in red uttered the word "thief", seeing Fang Ze's gaze sweeping towards her, her heart trembled inexplicably, and she suddenly changed her eyebrows and eyes to sneaky.Although it wasn't a good word, Fang Ze didn't bother to argue with her anymore.

"Put away your knives!"

The curtain of the carriage in front was lifted, and a boy of twelve or thirteen came down.He wears a crown of wings and is dressed in green clothes.He walked leisurely, pretending to be calm, which made Fang Ze look funny.

The young man first ordered the guards to put away the knife, then walked forward a few steps, stood still in front of Fang Ze, bowed deeply, and said, "At Zhu Cheng, the son of the king of Xiashu, my sister bumped into the Taoist priest, and I will report to the Taoist priest on my behalf." Pay me no."

The girl in red just turned her face away immediately after hearing the words.

Fang Ze was a little tired of the routine of being a corporal, especially when a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy made such a gesture, it made him even more awkward.He waved his hand indifferently and wanted to leave.

Then Zhu Cheng said again: "Dare to ask which fairy mountain he grew up in to practice Taoism!"

"Huashan..." Fang Ze didn't want to get entangled with them, so he used his skills and left the team behind in a blink of an eye.

"Huashan? Hush, it's a good thing it's not from Longhushan..." Zhu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, Princess, we are about to enter the capital. We must not offend Taoist priests. We must know that His Majesty will obey Zhang Tianshi's words...not to mention the prophecy..." The speaker was dressed as a scribe, and he looked around when he said this After looking at it, he lowered his voice and continued: "If you don't find a way to break the prophecy, it will be a major issue related to whether the son can inherit the throne..."

The girl in red waved her hand impatiently, and said in multiple voices: "Got it, got it, you're the one to talk." As soon as she finished speaking, she got off the horse and got into the carriage.

Zhu Cheng bowed his hands to the scribe, and the two looked at each other with wry smiles and shook their heads.His elder sister has such a temper, she has longed for the Jianghu since she was a child, and the King of Shu and his wife loved her very much, and even specially invited Master Ling Feng of the Emei School to teach her martial arts.This has become more and more uncontrollable. Since he became successful in martial arts, he has been riding a steed in Jinguan City every day to "fight for righteousness"... The majestic royal family even got himself a "Shuzhong Chivalrous Girl, Lightning Whip" The muddy number.

But where would she encounter so many injustices in the past?As a last resort, many guards taught themselves acting skills, directed and acted in many scenes of robbing women and oppressing kindness, which made the princess addicted to chivalrous women.

The eldest son Zhu Cheng squeezed into the carriage, and the girl in red hurriedly sat aside to make room for him.

"Sister, you don't need to come to the capital..."

The girl in red looked at her younger brother, changed her unruly and willful temper, and said softly: "If I don't come, what will you do? What about the father and mother? The father and the eyes in Beijing have already found out clearly , the only one who can compete with the Taoist priest surnamed Zhang Gou is He Duzhu... If I don't marry, how can he speak for us in front of the emperor?"

Zhu Cheng grasped his fist and thumped heavily on the carriage, "But I really don't care about Lao Shizi's position as King of Shu, so let His Majesty take it back."

The girl in red grabbed Zhu Cheng's fist and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about again? Why doesn't my sister want to take you and my father, mother and concubine to hide in the mountains? But look at where King Zhou and King Cheng's family are now. ?”

"But... sister..."

"There's nothing wrong! Sister is going to marry after all." The red-clothed girl's eyes were firm, and she made a final decision.

Cars, phosphorus, horses were rustling, and at noon, a magnificent imperial city appeared in front of everyone.When the two siblings heard the guard's report, they poked their heads out of the carriage and looked at the imperial city, but there was no joy on their faces.They saw that the imperial city was more like a huge cage, and they plunged into it, and they might never want to come out again in their lifetime.

When the son of the king of Shu entered Beijing, officials had come to greet him, and these officials had been dismissed by the scribe and the son.The girl in red just showed her face, then sat back in the carriage and looked at the huge gate of the capital in a daze.

Suddenly a young man in Taoist robe and gold crown appeared at the gate of the city, making the unfocused eyes of the girl in red brighten up again.

"That Tianzun of Wuliang! Pindao is the emperor Fang Ze, the emperor of Xuan Xianyou, who came to see him at the order of His Majesty, but he doesn't know which yamen to inform first?" Fang Ze scratched his head, he really couldn't do it. It is not intentional to know what procedure the emperor is going to follow.

Seeing Fang Ze's robes and golden crown, the guards at the city gate had an extraordinary bearing, so naturally they didn't dare to be negligent, and asked with a flattering smile, "Does the Daoist have His Majesty's will?"

Fang Ze fumbled for a while, took out the imperial decree written on yellow silk and stuffed it into the guard's hand.The guard was so flustered that he opened it respectfully with both hands to have a look.Seeing that the imperial decree was true, there was a flutter of chaos at the gate of the city, and soon a man with the appearance of an army officer came to Fang Ze, flattered him to the fullest, and even moved a stool for Fang Ze to rest in a secluded place.

"Fang Daoist, wait a moment, later there will be a superior to lead the Taoist to have an audience!"

Fang Ze nodded slightly, noncommittal.Impatient with socializing with these officials, he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.His behavior made the officer even more respectful.

Such a big commotion at the gate of the city, the prince of Shu and the others naturally saw it clearly.When the carriage passed the city gate, Zhu Cheng raised the curtain and nodded slightly to Fang Ze.Fang Ze grinned, and pretended to return to the head of a Taoist school.

The two had their own concerns, so they passed by.
