Chapter 218 Departure to Yuhua Mountain
The Duke's Mansion.
As soon as Mrs. Liang returned to the house, she immediately went to Mrs. Liangwen's room.
Gu Xizhi, on the other hand, returned directly and entered the palace.
It wasn't until lunch time that Mrs. Liang came out of Liangwen's room, returned to Liang Jiang's yard worriedly, and stood back.
"Today King Pingxi has entered the palace and asked the emperor to marry you as Princess Pingxi. Tomorrow at the latest, the emperor's imperial edict should be issued. You pack up and bow, and tomorrow you will set off with King Pingxi to Yuhua Mountain."
Liang Jiang couldn't help but be stunned: "Aniang, haven't you always opposed my marrying King Pingxi?"
"King Pingxi sent my mother back today and told her everything. He was right about some things. Many things cannot be solved by simply forbearing and escaping. I agree with your decision. "
Liang Jiang suddenly felt happy: "Then why are we in such a hurry to go to Yuhua Mountain?"
"This is the emperor's wish. During the time when my mother was in the palace, the emperor once looked for her. He hopes that you can persuade your Master Wen to come out and give him some guidance to find the location of the dragon's veins."
"Master Wen will not agree." Liang Jiang said firmly.
"Auntie knows, but the emperor has always been very persistent in finding the location of the dragon's veins and will not give up easily. Even if you don't go, he will try every means to force your Master Wen to come out. You have forgotten about your little uncle Baili keeping his promise. ”
Of course Liang Jiang remembered that the emperor not only wanted to provoke the younger uncle and Gu Xizhi to harm both sides, but also sent people to do many evil things to frame the younger uncle.
If in that battle, Gu Xi had lost his life at the hands of his junior uncle...
Liang Jiang was suddenly alerted. Not only did the emperor want to kill Baili to keep his promise, he would also involve Yuhua Mountain.
"But I went to Yuhua Mountain, what can I do?"
Mrs. Liang said in a deep voice: "You only need to tell Master Wen to leave his chariot and protect the commander, and cooperate with the emperor to find out where the dragon's veins are. Your Master Wen Guild will understand."
Liang Jiang was stunned: "Does my master know the location of the dragon's veins?"
"I know," Mrs. Liang said firmly, "This is the only way now."
Liang Jiang was a little confused, didn't quite understand, and was even a little confused.
According to legend, the dragon veins are guarded by the Phoenix clan. How could my mother be so sure that Master Wen knew about it?
And why did she suddenly make this decision? Does it have anything to do with Li Daoshi's return?
Gu Xizhi entered the palace in such a hurry and asked the emperor to marry him as Princess Pingxi. Could they have some plan?
She asked suspiciously: "Why are you so anxious? Mother, won't you go back to Yuhua Mountain with me? Master Wen and the others must also miss you very much."
Mrs. Liang shook her head and smiled a little reluctantly: "The Queen Mother's body has not recovered yet, and my mother cannot leave her for the time being. Please help me kowtow to your two masters.
When the time comes, your two masters will tell you all the secrets you want to know about your life experience. You will understand it all. "
Liang Jiang always felt vaguely uneasy.
"Can't we postpone it for a few days? We have to be in such a hurry."
Mrs. Liang's face became stern: "You still can't let go of this grudge. Do you insist on putting your second uncle to death?"
Liang Jiang defended: "No, I'm just worried..."
"It's all in the past, but you still retaliate and refuse to forgive. After all, we are all a family. Why are you so narrow-minded? It is so disappointing to my mother.
Tomorrow, as soon as the imperial edict arrives, you and King Pingxi will leave here immediately. Your second uncle's affairs will be taken care of by your mother, so you don't need to worry about it. "
Mrs. Liang rarely scolded Liang Jiang so harshly.
Liang Jiang felt aggrieved deep in his heart, with tears welling up in his eyes, and said angrily: "Just leave, I don't care about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion. Mother, you can do whatever you want."
Turn around and leave.
Mrs. Liang looked at her back reluctantly, couldn't help but raise her hand, clutching her heart, a tearing feeling came up, and her eyes became wet. The incident happened suddenly, and for now, this was the only way.
Once you leave, don't look back, and don't come back again.
At dusk, just as Mrs. Liang said, the emperor's decree granting marriage arrived, and Liang Jiang was conferred the title of Princess Pingxi.
Gu Xizhi's promise was to hand over the Weixi fiefdom, escort Liang Jiang to Yuhua Mountain, and ask Wen Shengren to come down to help.
Everyone in the court was shocked.
Some people are surprised that Liangjiang, an abandoned wife, was able to counterattack against the desperate situation and rise step by step to become the noble Princess of Pingxi; As a betrothal gift, asking the emperor to marry a woman at such a high price, is this crazy?
There was an explosion in Prince Pingxi's Mansion.
Concubine Xie was so angry that she lost her manners for the first time and went crazy. She wanted to go to the Duke's Mansion to settle the score with Liang Jiang.
Thanks to Marquis Huaiyuan and Xie Fubai for stopping her, Concubine Xie stamped her feet angrily and cursed in all kinds of ways, which was unbearable.
He kept scolding until his throat became hoarse and he couldn't utter a word. Then he stopped and fell ill in bed, refusing to see guests.
Gu Xizhi and Liang Jiang were ordered to set foot on the road to Weixi the next day.
The people accompanying him include the troops led by Fang Chengxu and Tong Zhaoer, as well as Li Taoist priest.
Fang Chengxu and Tong Zhaoer were responsible for taking over from Gu Xizhi and stationed in Weixi. Li Daoshi and Liang Jiang rushed to Yuhua Mountain to ask Wen Sheng to come down.
Liang Jiang did not expect that the imperial court would send Fang Chengxu to accompany him. Moreover, the replacement of old and new people in a place is most likely to cause instability. Although Fang Chengxu is leading the army, he is only a newcomer after all and is prone to lack of experience. Virtue does not match.
The emperor's intentions are really unpredictable and unpredictable.
Liang Jiang became more and more worried about Mrs. Qi Liang.
Can she survive alone in this den of tigers and wolves? Once he leaves, will Liangwen and the others make things difficult for their mother?
Before leaving, Mrs. Liang did not come out to see her off, and seemed to still be angry with her.
Liang Jiang reluctantly entrusted Mrs. Liang to Yu Ma and Yuhua, telling her that if anything happened, she could go to Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion and Lu Xingzhan for help.
They will definitely go out of their way to help.
Gu Xizhi patted her shoulder and whispered: "Don't worry, women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong. Mrs. Liang is definitely not as weak as you think. She will take care of herself."
Liang Jiang mounted his horse anxiously, and told Gu Xixi that Taoist Li and others were leading the way, while Fang Chengxu and Tong Zhaoer led the army and then moved slowly.
The group of people ate and slept in the open air and soon arrived at the junction of Weixi.
Because the army led by Fang Chengxu was marching on foot, the pace was too slow and it would take several days to arrive. Gu Xizhi and others did not stay, but followed Liang Jiang directly to Yuhua Mountain.
The pile of rocks at the foot of Yuhua Mountain looks chaotic, but it is actually a Bagua formation set up by the Wen Sage. If ordinary people cannot decipher the formation, they will not be able to go up the mountain in circles.
Liang Jiang ordered Yu Shu Guanqi and others to wait at the foot of the mountain, leading the way. The three of them passed through the Bagua array, climbed up the stone steps that could only be passed by one person, crossed the rope bridge, climbed the cliff, and walked halfway up the mountain. The temperature dropped suddenly. The mountain road is becoming more and more rugged and difficult to navigate, and the terrain is steep and dangerous.
Li Daoshi clenched his teeth and followed the two of them, almost losing half his life from exhaustion.
However, Liangjiang became more and more enthusiastic. Along the way, he chirped to Gu Xizhi and introduced interesting things about his life on Yuhua Mountain. He walked cheerfully, imitating two bird calls from time to time, and the whistle penetrated the clouds.
Suddenly, a gust of fishy wind blew by, and the roar of a tiger was suddenly heard. Taoist Li raised his eyes and was immediately frightened out of his wits.
I saw a ferocious and eye-catching tiger swooping down from the mountain as fast as the wind.
