From Xiaoao to travel around the world

Chapter 146
Wang Shichong wants to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and take the seat of the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

It's hard to say who will win the world in the future, but right now in Luoyang, he is definitely the one who can make a decision with one word.

If he did what Linglongjiao said, it would be tantamount to bowing his head and subduing himself, sweeping away his prestige.

Not to mention that Yang Qing is now just a wanderer who denies Yang Tong's identity, even if Li Shimin comes, before the victory is decided, he will not be able to back down half a step.

"Sister Longjiao seems to be terrified of that Yang Qing."

Wang Xuanying slightly lowered his eyes and stretched out his hands to pick up the teacup in front of him, put it to his lips and blew on it but didn't take a sip.

"I……"

Linglongjiao was about to explain a few words, but Wang Shichong interrupted: "Stop talking about Xuanying, Jiaoniang must be tired from running around for many days."

He smiled at Linglongjiao and continued: "I don't think so, Jiaoniang, you can find someone privately. If you find him, then politely ask him to leave. What do you think?
Let's go to rest, I will talk to you again another day. "

Seeing that he was trying to be perfunctory, Linglongjiao couldn't say any more.

She originally wanted to say goodbye, but it was inappropriate to say it at this time, so she could only postpone it.

Waiting for Linglongjiao to leave the door, Wang Shichong looked around and said with a light smile, "This 'beautiful orchid' who is famous in Kucha, why did she change her temperament after coming back this time?"

"Beautiful Orchid" is the nickname of Linglong's family.

Pichen watched her leave the door all the time, and at this moment Wang Shichong said: "I think her gait is vain, I'm afraid she has lost all her skills, how to save her life is really as poor as she said, but it should be true. Then Yang Qing was frightened."

Wang Xuanying lifted his spirits and said: "Her martial arts are gone? The Taoist chief suspects that she and Yang Qing are in collusion?"

"I'm not sure about Pindao." Pichen slowly shook his head: "But it's true that she lost all her martial arts. Yang Qing possesses magic skills. I saw him absorb the skills of many people with my own eyes that day. There is no reason why Linglongjiao can't be spared."

Wang Shichong frowned and said, "This person is really dangerous."

"It's okay." Pichen said with a twinkle in his eyes: "His martial arts has a lot to do with the magic sect. I've already spread the news. Maybe he won't be able to take care of himself in a long time."

"Father, that Linglongjiao..."

"You should find someone to keep an eye on it. She doesn't have to worry about it when she returns to Luoyang. If there is any contact with Wagang's surrender..."

"The child understands!"

……

Linglongjiao went out of the mansion and looked at the patrolling soldiers, she took a long breath and felt that the depression had dissipated a lot.

This is a feeling I have never had before, and now it seems that everything has changed with the loss of my skills.

She and Wang Shichong were originally members of Daming Zunjiao, but the latter has gradually become more powerful, and now he wants to sit on the throne even more, so he no longer obeys orders.

The purpose of her trip to the Central Plains is to find the national treasure of the Turkic town, the multicolored stone.

Although Wang Shichong has ostensibly given up his status as a Da Ming Zunjiao, but through this relationship, the former agreed to help find the treasure, and she will stay in Luoyang to help him.

It's just that now that her skills are gone, and Wang Shichong's mind is no longer on helping her find treasures, Linglongjiao hesitates whether to leave immediately and stop asking about the right and wrong of the Central Plains.

But as soon as the idea came up, he suddenly thought of the child in the small courtyard of the Sishui Gang that night.

"I'll go and inform the monks at the Buddhist monastery so that the child won't suffer any more."

After making up her mind, Linglongjiao saw that it was getting late, so she decided to return to Luoyang early tomorrow morning.As soon as this matter is over, I will return to Kucha and never set foot in the Central Plains.

The next day, she rode her horse out of Hulao Pass, and when she had just walked more than ten miles to Luoyang, she suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind her.

Looking back, he saw Wang Xuanying leading the crowd chasing after him.

She wanted to avoid it but it was too late, so she had to turn the horse's head and stop aside, wanting to wait for the other party to pass first before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xuanying led someone to stop by her side and smiled, "My sister is leaving too quickly, why don't you wait for me to go back together?"

Linglongjiao frowned and said, "You and I have different goals, so it's better to go our separate ways."

"What are you talking about, are you still angry because of yesterday's quarrel?" Wang Xuanying rode his horse up to her, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Father will ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, and I will not let the crown prince take my place.

Although the girl has lost all her skills, but a beauty like you deserves to share wealth with me, and really shouldn't become so rich because of trivial things. "

Linglongjiao's heart shuddered when she heard this, and after a little thought she knew that she could not hide the fact that she had lost her skills after all.

Wang Xuanying may have had evil thoughts about her in the past, but he never revealed it.

Now that she knows her situation, she dares to be so unscrupulous.

Looking at his frivolous words, as if he was sure that he could become the emperor's arrogance, he couldn't help feeling contemptuous.

So he stopped pretending and pretending, and said coldly: "I can't enjoy the prince's wealth, you'd better find someone else."

After she finished speaking, she flicked the reins and was about to leave, but she only took two steps when she heard the sound of her clothes ripping through the air behind her.

The next moment the horse shook its head and stopped suddenly, Wang Xuanying had landed behind her in the air.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for her to react, her slender waist was hugged by a pair of arms.

"My sister used to be strong in martial arts, so it's reasonable to be arrogant." Wang Xuanying rested his chin on Linglongjiao's shoulder, and said with a frivolous smile: "But the situation is different now, it's time to let go of your airs.

I know it will be difficult for you to get used to it for a while, but there is still more than a hundred miles to Luoyang, and I will gradually let you accept it on the way. "

Sudden change, Linglongjiao's face flashed with embarrassment and anger, and then it turned into a cold one: "Did your father never tell you who I am, and that's why you have the illusion that you can bully me wantonly?"

"Huh? What else do you have?"

Wang Xuanying was startled when he heard the words, but his hand stopped moving up.

"Go back and tell Wang Shichong that I will find the things myself, and I won't bother him in the future."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hands to her waist, and her sleeves covered the back of Wang Xuanying's hands.

Hearing what she said, Wang Xuanying was inexplicable, and was about to ask again, when he suddenly felt a furry touch on his hand, followed by a bone-piercing pain.

"what!"

With a cry of pain, he quickly withdrew his palm to check.

Unexpectedly, Linglongjiao slammed her elbow hard on her ribs, knocking him down directly.

His martial arts are very common, he suddenly fell off his horse and retreated a few steps before he could barely stop, and then Linglongjiao had already rode the horse and ran towards the side of the mountain road.

"My lord, do you want to chase after me?"

The guards at the side got off their horses and supported Wang Xuanying and asked.

Wang Xuanying looked at the bloody tooth marks on the back of her hand, then at Linglongjiao's back, and at the colorful smelling mouse on her shoulder, and said angrily: "Forget it, it's important, and I'll settle accounts with her next time we meet. !"

After speaking, he got on his horse and led the crowd to Luoyang.

Linglongjiao ran into the narrow and difficult mountain road, she wanted to take a detour to Luoyang, but she didn't know how far she got off her horse and suddenly stumbled.

She went down to check, and saw that although the horse's hoof was not broken, it was sprained and could no longer carry people.

Helpless can only walk.

If the skill is not lost, it will only take half a day to travel more than a hundred miles.However, it was extremely difficult at the moment.

In order to avoid Wang Xuanying, Linglongjiao walked along the path until noon, and then quietly returned to the main road.

After observing for a long time on the side of the road and confirming that there was no danger, she rode in a carriage until dark before arriving at the city of Luoyang.

At this time, the gate of Luoyang city was closed, she got out of the carriage and walked around from the east gate to the southern countryside. Looking at the Zen temple standing quietly in the secluded wilderness, she took a deep breath and went forward to knock on the gate of the temple.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

The sound of the door knocker knocking on the door panel was heard far away, and after a while Linglongjiao heard footsteps coming from the temple, so she stopped and waited.

When the gate of the temple was opened, two Zhike monks held up oil lamps and asked, "Amitabha, the benefactor knocked on the door late at night. I don't know why?"

Linglongjiao asked anxiously, "Where's the child I sent a few days ago?"

"Children?" Although the two of them knew that some poor children came to the temple a few days ago, but after hearing her talking nonsense, they asked back: "I don't know what is the relationship between the benefactor and those children?"

"Those children were sent by me. Has anyone come to look for them today?"

"Amitabha, I don't know about this matter, so I have to ask my master."

After speaking, a monk turned and walked towards the temple.

Linglongjiao was anxious, but women were not allowed in the temple at night, so she had to wait in front of the gate.

Not long after, I saw two people walking quickly in the temple.In addition to the former Zhike monk, there is also an old monk with white eyebrows and white beard.

When Linglongjiao saw the person coming, she immediately looked happy and said, "Master Liaozhen, do you still remember me?"

The last time she sent a group of children to the Buddhist monastery, she didn't see the abbot, Kong Kong.

It is Liaozhen in front of him who accepts the child.

"Amitabha, it turns out to be the female benefactor." Liaozhen recognized Linglongjiao, stepped forward and said with a smile, "The benefactor must be in a hurry to visit in the starry night."

"Master, are the children I sent last time all right? Has anyone come to look for them today?"

Liaozhen nodded and said: "The children are all fine, but someone did come to the temple this afternoon to recruit attendants and took two of them away."

Linglongjiao said dejectedly: "Is that the girl named Xiaorou and her younger brother?"

"That's right." Seeing her expression change, Liao Zhen asked in confusion, "How did the benefactor know?"

"She (he)..." Linglongjiao wanted to ask again, but thought that since the person had already been taken away, it would be meaningless to say more: "Forget it, I'll find it myself."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, turned and left.

Seeing this, Liaozhen frowned and said: "The benefactor stays, please listen to the old monk. This is not because the old monk is unkind. This temple has never accepted female guests, and it is an exception to keep the little girl.

And today, their siblings are leaving voluntarily, and we really have no reason to force them to stay.

If there is any inside story that the old monk does not know, please let the benefactor tell, our temple will never shirk. "

Linglongjiao turned to look at Zhen, thanked him and said: "Master is merciful, how can the little girl blame it. It's just that the reason for this matter is hard to explain. People outside the master's party should not be involved in it. Farewell."

After finishing the words, she didn't stay any longer, and hurriedly left in the direction of Luoyang.

Seeing the truth, she didn't want to say more, and she couldn't ask any more questions, so she could only turn around and go back to the temple.

When Linglongjiao returned to Luoyang city, she wanted to open the city gate.

But thinking that Wang Xuanying was in the city right now, he gave up and waited outside the city.

She waited until dawn when the city gate opened, and she entered the city with dew all over her body.

Having followed Wang Shichong for many years, Linglongjiao is already very familiar with Luoyang, and she has been inquiring about intelligence for the former, so she has a wide network of contacts among the three religions and nine streams.

She first found someone to inquire about Yang Qing and Xiaorou in the city, then she settled in an inn and changed her clothes, and went out to look for them after some modifications.

However, Luoyang is now the leading city in the Central Plains. There are countless merchants traveling from south to north every day, and it is extremely difficult to find someone.

What's more, Yang Qing lived in seclusion, so there was no news for three consecutive days.

That evening, when Linglongjiao was feeling hopeless, she suddenly received news that a boat from the Baling Gang was going south, and there were many children on board.

The Baling Gang is one of the eight gangs and ten factions in the world, specializing in brothels and human trafficking.

Originally attached to the imperial court and served Yang Guang.

After Yang Guang died, he switched to Jiangdu Xiaomian.

When Linglongjiao heard the news, she realized that Wang Xuanying had sold Xiaorou and brother to the Baling Gang.

When she caught up along the way, she saw that the boat had sailed far away, making it difficult to catch up.

And now that he doesn't have any martial arts, even if he catches up with him, he won't be able to stop him.

Reluctantly, he returned to the city, and after asking around, there was still no news of Yang Qing.

Thinking that staying in Luoyang for a long time was not an option after all, she went back to the inn and wrote a letter, which was supposed to be entrusted to a trustworthy person, and she would find Yang Qing to deliver it on her behalf.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he realized that he was actually being watched.

Although Linglongjiao's martial arts has been lost, tracking and tracking is her usual method.As soon as you find someone following you, you will immediately notice something is wrong.

Mixed in the crowd and got rid of a few people all the way to the south gate, but saw a few familiar figures guarding the gate.

She sensed that something was wrong, so she turned her head and walked towards Ximen.

When we arrived at the place, we saw that there were still people guarding us, and we were about to change our course to the north again, when someone in the crowd shouted, "Here they are!"

The moment the shout fell, the crowd immediately boiled like boiling water, and several figures jumped towards her more and more.

Although Linglongjiao was shocked, she knew that there was no way she could escape with only her legs.

Seeing someone riding past in front of him, he immediately stepped forward and dragged the person off, turned himself up, whipped the horse and went straight to the north gate to escape.

"Stop her!"

"Linglongjiao, Luoyang is surrounded by people guarding against death, where can you go, and come with me to see Master Shangshu before getting off your horse!"

Hearing the continuous roar behind her ears, Linglongjiao had no intention of stopping.

If Wang Shichong wanted to turn his back on him completely, he would definitely not come to arrest him. It would be almost as good as sending an assassin to kill her.

What's more, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two, and they are also involved in the origin of Da Ming Zunjiao. Even if he has no use value at the moment, he will never use such a method.

These people must have been sent by Wang Xuanying.

"Step aside!"

While thinking, she yelled to disperse the crowd and galloped on horseback.When she reached the Luoshui River, she abandoned her horse and took a boat to cross the river.

He went ashore again in a hidden place and continued to run north.

This road went round and round, and when we arrived at the gate of the North City, it was already halfway through the night and everything was still.

But there are indeed people guarding the city gate here.

Afraid of being overtaken by people behind her, she walked along the dark alley near the city wall for a long time, but she still couldn't think of a way.

Just as he was about to return to the city to find a place to hide, suddenly there was a cry of soldiers on one side of the city wall.

She heard the reputation and looked around, just in time to see a person jumping into the city, treating the guarding soldiers as if they were decorations.

Although Linglongjiao was a little far away, she couldn't recognize that person's face clearly.

But just by looking at his gray shirt fluttering, he can already recognize his haughty attitude of ignoring others.

"Yang Qing!"

In the quiet night in the north of Luoyang City, a female voice suddenly resounded through the sky, causing countless city guards to swarm.
