Chapter 27: Heavenly Gang (2)
When Changfeng and Niu Gao rode out of Mianyueji on horseback, they met an acquaintance at the intersection. This person was really warned by Yun Niang that Li Yue, a girl scholar who was a little far away from Changfeng. I don’t know why she appeared here. Since she was chased, she naturally had to cover up. Changfeng He was wearing a wind hat on his head, which could not only block the wind and sand, but also prevent others from seeing their faces. Therefore, Changfeng deliberately pulled the wind hat down a little, making Li Yue unable to see him.
It seemed that it didn't work. Changfeng and Niu Gao rode past Li Yue. Li Yue looked at their backs and pondered for a moment, and actually followed them on horseback.
Changfeng complained secretly in his heart. Now his thigh is injured and he has just bandaged it. Blood seeps out after a little movement. He can't ride his horse quickly, so he is soon chased by Li Yue.
"Brother, please invite me. You look like an old friend here. I wonder if you can take a look at your face?" Li Yue rushed to Changfeng's horse and said.
Changfeng didn't even raise his head, and changed his voice directly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, I recognize the wrong person, I don't know you."
"Brother, I didn't look up at me, why do I say I don't know you?" Li Yue grabbed Changfeng's tail and said.
Changfeng looked up slightly and said, "I really don't know my brother. I'd like to ask my brother to give way. I have something to do."
Changfeng's head moved a little, and Li Yue naturally couldn't see Changfeng's face under Fengli. Although his voice was different, he felt even more suspicious. However, he could not block his way. He turned his head and made a move and said, "I'm rude, brother, please."
Changfeng and Niu Gao immediately activated their mounts to gallop forward. The killer would not give up his goal easily, so Changfeng must return to Xindao as soon as possible, endured the severe pain on his thighs, and rushed towards Hailing City.
With Changfeng and Niu Gao in their current state, it is safest to go back by water. Therefore, Hailing City just passed by without stopping, and went straight to Lingyun Town at night. The next day, at dawn, he knocked on the door of the person in charge of Duanqing Village, the dock of Lingyun Town, took out the seal from the river, and asked him to send a clutch to send them back to Xindao.
When the boat left Lingyun Town Wharf, Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. On the water, this is the sphere of influence of the river. The killer had no boat, so he could not catch up with Changfeng. Changfeng had explained that people of unknown origin were not allowed to rent a boat and rent the boat. If you want to rent it, it would take three days later. At the same time, the flying pigeons of his assassination were transmitted back to Xindao, so that everyone on the island was also careful. There were still twenty-four people in the thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, so that they had to be careful.
Niu Gao was also extremely tired. He fell asleep as soon as he arrived on the boat. Changfeng took off his pants and found that the blood from the sword wound on his thigh had condensed and was integrated with the pants he was wearing. After such a long time of friction, the wound had already broken. Changfeng endured the huge pain and cut off the trouser cloth connected to the sword wound, just like cutting the flesh on his body. Then he sprinkled with Jinchuang medicine and rebanded it. After all this, Changfeng was exhausted. Fortunately, the person in charge of Lingyun Town Wharf was careful. Not only did he prepare clean clothes on the boat, but he also prepared wine and food.
After drinking a glass of strong wine, a warm feeling rose in his heart. Changfeng then realized the benefits of wine. Although the danger had passed for the time being, he still could not relax his vigilance. In addition to instructing the shipman to take a quick stroke, Changfeng sat until Niu Gao woke up and fell asleep with confidence.
To be honest, Li Yue's stalking technique is really not very good, but Changfeng and Niu Gao don't have time to bother with her, so she just let her follow her. Anyway, she can't rent a boat when she arrives in Lingyun Town, so naturally she can't be said to be entangled.
However, Li Yue was a little smart. When he saw that he couldn't rent a boat, he pointed to the boat that was away from Changfeng and said that he was a friend of the person on the boat and wanted to catch up and find the person on the boat for urgent matters.
When the person in charge of Duanqing Village in Lingyun Town heard this, he was alert. Before Changfeng left, he told him not to rent the boat to people of unknown origin to stop the hunt of Tiangang killers of Yanyanyu Club. Li Yue arrived shortly after Changfeng left. He must be the person who followed him to chase him. Whether he was a friend, enemy, or others, it was very suitable for the condition of unknown origin. When he saw that the other party had only one person, he was eager to seek credit, and his eyes turned, so he pretended to agree to rent the boat for her, and then waited for the boat to reach the center of the river and sent someone to dig the boat. Li Yue fell into the water and was captured and poured into cartilage.
Because he finally found out that he was a woman, the person in charge was difficult to deal with. Military advisor Feng Liu was famous and even his own village leader was one of his wife. Naturally, they heard about it. If the woman was the lover of the military advisor and he might be his master in the future, it would be difficult to deal with it. After much thought, he sent the person directly to the parcel and let the military advisor deal with it himself. So Li Yue was soon taken on another boat by the head of Lingyun Town and sent to Xindao. At the same time, because of his unidentified identity, in order to ensure safety, Li Yue did not give her the antidote.
Yuchi Tian was originally going back to the river, and secretly protecting the princess was just one of the tasks, but he did not expect Changfeng to send the princess back, so he had to take his Black Dragon Guard to the capital with his subordinates' carriage. Without the protection of a master like Changfeng, the princess's safety naturally fell on his head.
Dugu Qian was confined by Dugu Tianpan when she returned to the palace. She could not go anywhere except the palace. Even if she wanted to go back to Cao's mansion, she was rejected by Dugu Tianpan. She dared not reveal the wounds on her body to anyone. She was afraid that her father would take her anger and vent her anger. So after a few days, she lost weight. Kou Xiping's several attacks and greetings were bombarded by her. In the palace, she was not only confined, but also the news outside the palace was also ordered to be closed to her by Dugu Tianpan. Now Dugu Qian has truly become a princess, a canary in a cage, and she longs for freedom and her beloved to take her out of the cage every day.
"Do you really want to see him?" The majestic voice of Dugu Tianpan sounded behind Dugu Qian.
Dugu Qian looked at his adoptive father, Dugu Tianpeng, the emperor of the Dugu Dynasty, bent down and bowed and said, "I have seen my father, I wish my father good health."
Dugu Tianpeng felt really uncomfortable. He was both happy and a little disappointed. Dugu Qian was happy to be able to fall in love with Changfeng, because he might be the son who had been separated for nearly twenty years. What was lost was that after his beloved adopted daughter had a lover, she seemed to have forgotten her father, and even spoke a lot. She felt a little disappointed on her face and sighed: "Qian'er, why did you learn from those ministers to speak to your father like this."
Dugu Qian said silently, lowered her head to look at her little feet, and kept rubbing the corners of her fox fur clothes with her hands, as if she did not listen to the emperor's questions.
Dugu Tianpeng reached out and took Dugu Qian's hand and walked to Dugu Qian's embroidered bed and sat down, "Tell my father, do you like him very much?"
Dugu Qian suddenly had a faint blush on her pale face and she nodded shyly.
"Silly child, my father doesn't object to your interactions with him, but..." Dugu Tianpeng hesitated.
"It's just what? Father?" Dugu Qian raised her head, stared at Dugu Tianpeng with wide eyes and asked, obviously eager to know the answer.
Dugu Tianpeng smiled gently and said, "Qian'er, my father asks you, will you regret following him?"
Dugu Qian shook her head and said, "Qian'er doesn't regret it!"
"Okay, since you don't regret it, you must be prepared in your heart. He is not an ordinary person, and his future achievements may be higher than your father. Such a man is not something you can have alone." Dugu Tianpeng said seriously.
Dugu Qian failed to understand what it meant to be higher than her father's achievements, but she had already gained a clear understanding later and said seriously: "Qian'er knows that he will have many wives, but Qian'er is willing to be one of them, as long as he loves Qian'er."
"Okay, from now on, my father wants to hand over the Black Dragon Guard to you to command. I don't know what you mean?" Dugu Tianpeng said solemnly.
Except for the lurking Black Dragon Guard, there are only two people in the entire palace of the Black Dragon Guard. One is the current emperor Dugu Tianpeng, and the other is Dugu Qian. This is the life-saving power of Dugu Tianpeng. Dugu Qian knew it in her heart, so she never revealed to anyone. Even she didn't know who there were people in this organization, but she just knew it. When she heard that the father handed over the power to save her life into her hands, she was shocked and said: "Father, how can this be done? Qian'er doesn't have this ability."
Dugu Tianpeng said, "If you don't accept it, then the father has to issue an order to betroth you to Kou Xiping. Anyway, you are not truly royal blood and don't have to be bound by that rule. Moreover, Kou Xiping is also deeply in love with you, and I believe he will not treat you badly."
Dugu Qian was shocked and said, "Father, you can't do this, your daughter doesn't like Kou Xiping at all."
Dugu Tianpeng just wanted to force Dugu Qian to surrender, and said with a smile: "The father has given you the opportunity to choose, it depends on Qian'er's own choice."
Dugu Qian thought carefully. Taking over the Black Dragon Guard means that he will lose his freedom, and not taking over the Black Dragon Guard’s responsibility to lose his beloved person. Although he lost a little freedom, he can get his happiness in his next life. It is also worth it. Dugu Qian bets on all his bets on his happiness, hoping that he would be right, and mustered up the courage and said, "Father, Qian'er chose to take over the Black Dragon Guard."
"It seems that my treasure Qian'er is leaving me." Dugu Tianpan was happy and a little lonely, and there was no one in the palace to talk to him again.
"Qian'er is always Qian'er of the father, and Qian'er will never leave her father." The father-daughter relationship between Dugu Qian and Dugu Tianpeng is very deep. When he saw his father's expression was disappointed and knew what he was thinking, he hurriedly snuggled up to Dugu Tianpeng's arms.
"If you think so, your father will be very pleased." Dugu Tianpeng smiled happily, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
"Father, haven't you told Qian'er what you are going to do to take over the Black Dragon Guard?" Dugu Qian asked comfortably in Dugu Tianpeng's arms. At this time, she had completely forgotten her father's resentment towards her confinement.
"The capital city is no longer a place for you. My father wants you to take some of the Black Dragon Guards to Jiangnan." Dugu Tianpeng thought for a while.
"Why, Father, this is Qian'er's home, why do you want to leave?" Dugu Qian said inexplicably.
Dugu Tianpeng teased: "Don't you want to see him? Why are you nostalgic about the capital again?"
Dugu Qian blushed when asked by Dugu Tianpan and whispered: "Can he not come to the capital?"
Dugu Tianpeng said with a melancholy expression: "If you can let him stay in the capital, how could your father let him go back?"
"The father means that he has the meaning of the father when he goes back this time?" Dugu Qian asked suspiciously, what is the relationship between Changfeng and his father? Why did the father actually care about him and even didn't mind dating him? This has never been in the Dugu Dynasty. Even if he is the prince-consort of Dian Kingdom, he is a noble in his identity. The father will never support his daughter to like the prince-consorts of other countries. This is a bit unusual. Could it be that there is a huge secret hidden in the middle? Dugu Qian is worthy of being the smartest and most wise princess of the Dugu Dynasty.
"You will understand in the future. My father cannot tell you now." Dugu Tianpeng clearly told Dugu Qian that there was really a huge secret hidden in it, and at the same time it also confirmed what Dugu Qian was thinking. He immediately listened to Dugu Tianpeng's words down.
"If there is nothing big going to Jiangnan, you shouldn't come back. Stay by his side, your father will feel more at ease." Dugu Tianpeng caressed Dugu Qian's long hair with love.
This move seemed to be a little bit like arranging the funeral. Dugu Qian keenly found something wrong with her father today, so she suppressed the questions in her heart and continued to listen.
"Although you are going to Jiangnan, you have to listen to Yuchi Tian's instructions along the way. He is a loyal subordinate of the father. He will first get familiar with the affairs of the guards, and then wait for his father's instructions to officially take over the Black Dragon Guard." Dugu Tianpeng ordered.
"But in this way, the father is the only one left in the capital. Qian'er is a little worried..." Dugu Qian said worriedly.
"It is enough for you to have this filial piety. Your father is not yet in his seventies and eighties. He is just trying to let go of his hands and feet to do something. You are the father's only concern. As long as you are safe, the father will have nothing to worry about." Dugu Tianpeng's momentum suddenly changed. He was a kind father who loved his daughter deeply, and now he has become an emperor who looks down on the world.
"Father, let Qian'er stay and help you, okay?" Dugu Qian knew the situation in the court. The two powerful ministers controlled the government and had strong enemies outside. It was not realistic to turn the situation around with the help of his father alone. After all, it was a father-daughter-to-heart relationship. How could Dugu Qian bear to live happily? Her father, who had raised her for twenty years, was shaking in the wind and rain.
"No, my father did this not just for you, but for the thousand-year foundation of our Dugu family. You will understand when you arrive in Jiangnan, and you will know what to do." Dugu Tianpeng said sternly to Dugu Qian, without any room for negotiation.
Dugu Qian knew very well that the decision made by her father would not change. She was the emperor of the Dugu Dynasty, not just a father, so she could only nod in tears and agreed.
"You don't have to hurry to leave. The injuries on your body have not healed yet. At least you have one month to spend with your father." Dugu Tianpeng's face eased.
Dugu Qian said in surprise: "The father knows everything."
"I am the king of a country. What can I hide from your wise and wise father?" Dugu Tianpeng said with a smile.
"Will the father blame him?" Dugu Qian asked in a slight manner.
"Although he is wrong in this matter, it is not him who killed him after all, and he saved your life. If he is talking about merits and demerits, his father will not pursue it." Dugu Tianpeng knew what Dugu Qian's children thought and laughed.
If Dugu Tianpeng knew that Changfeng refused Dugu Qian repeatedly and was injured because of Changfeng, even if Changfeng was his own son, Dugu Tianpeng would not spare him easily. Changfeng was glad that he had done a good job in confidentiality, and Dugu Qian intended to conceal it for him and escaped the disaster.
When Changfeng woke up, the boat had already arrived at Fenglin Ferry. After going ashore to buy some essential items, he set off immediately and headed straight to Xindao.
Changfeng checked the sword wound on his thigh. Fortunately, the weather was cold and the wounds were scarred. Changfeng did not dare to write in his letter to Cao Ruifeng, so the people in the mountain village were not so nervous. Anyway, when they were on the water, no matter how powerful the assassin was, they would not be fierce. Because the world was not all theirs, Cao Ruifeng and other girls were anxious, but basically believed that Changfeng could return safely.
Changfeng was in the boat and asked Niu Gao to take the sword that the assassin leader stabbed him in the thigh. He studied it himself. On the surface, the sword used by Tiangang is no different from the Earth Demon, but in fact there is still a difference. First of all, the purchase is much heavier. Obviously, it is not cast in the mortal iron, but it may be something like black iron. There is a small hole in the tip of the sword. The irritating sound is emitted by this kind of sword wielding, but Changfeng tried it himself but did not have that effect. It may be that special internal strength or technique is needed to be assisted. If you have the opportunity to study it carefully, many of his many confidants are proficient in music, and it may be better to find problems when they leave it to them.
Li Yue was not as comfortable as Changfeng. He had already changed into a woman's clothing, was weak all over, and was trapped by cow tendons. It seemed that the person who was escorting her was afraid that her martial arts skills were too high and that the cartilage powder was not effective on her. With cow tendons, it would be foolproof.
