In Lingbao Village, Rao Tu, who was sitting on the bed eating sour jujube mud after bathing and changing clothes, suddenly twitched her eyelids a few times. She put down her spoon and rubbed her brows, "Who is scolding me behind my back? It can't be Xiao Yanning."

The mountain ghost said with a smile: "Maybe the fifth prince is now enjoying the service of the red-clothed aunt."

Rao Tu laughed, "The five kings got a bargain, so it's time to thank me a few words."

Shen Zhu lifted the curtain from the outside and came in, Rao Tu immediately raised her face, "I'm sleepy, I need to rest."

Seeing that she was holding half a bowl of sour jujube puree in her hand, he said lightly, "Eat this at night, it hurts my teeth carefully." Then he took the bowl in her hand, took a spoon and dipped half a mouthful, "Sour."

Rao Tu waved to the mountain ghost and told her to go out, while saying to Shen Zhu, "I like to eat, can you handle it?"

"What kind of fire is this?" He smiled gently, obviously very patient.

Rao Tu dug out a large spoonful of sour jujube puree and put it in her mouth, while eating, she said vaguely, "Why do I have to wear a hat, am I so incapable of seeing people?"

"You are beautiful, I am afraid that you will harm the servant of this mansion."

Rao Tu was choked by Shen Zhu's words, "If you say that, every one of the maids in the yard will stare straight at you, and you have to cover your face so that no one can see it."

"I have a better character than you, and I won't tease people casually."

Shen Zhu smashed another sentence, and he was speechless for a long time. After thinking about it, she said angrily, "Don't you know that there is a saying in Jinling City that Shen Lang was mistaken for a lifetime."

Seeing her puffed up appearance, Shen Zhu didn't explain it. He took away the sour jujube mud in her hand and poured a cup of hot tea for her to rinse her mouth.

Rao Tu rinsed his mouth with the tea in his hand, and then drove him away. Shen Zhu said in surprise: "Are you the one who kills the donkey like this?"

"Sir Shen, go back to your room to rest, I'm going to sleep."

"This is my house, where do you want me to go?"

"It's not yours, it's mine. If you don't have a place to live, go and squeeze with Mr. Lu. He won't mind."

"I don't live with you, but go to share a bed with Lu Zhiming, others will think wrong."

Rao Tu was sullen, "You are messing around."

"Yes, it's a mess." He climbed onto the bed very peacefully and hugged Rao Tu, "During the bath just now, Lu Zhiming's talisman ashes were all scattered in the water?"

"Ok."

"Do you feel anything?"

"What can I feel, it must be fine, you lied to me."

She buried herself in his arms obediently, and tapped her fingers on his chest. Shen Zhu suddenly discovered that a smart woman also has a charming side.

At this moment, he felt very full.

After a day's drive, Rao Tu lay on the bed and felt like she was in a carriage. She was so exhausted that she quickly fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Shen Zhu gently stroked her cheek, but what was in his mind was the words from the back of the book "Sandao Deed", "The weak girl of the Xu family in Qingzhou, the young Phoenix is ​​very precious, and the fate of the lonely one. Weird."

He looked down at her sleeping soundly, and thought to himself, "Father, did you make a mistake, where does a woman like her come from? Or, you asked me to marry her just to break her life. Ge...it was me, Shen Zhu, who misunderstood her."

At this moment, on the outer wall of Qingya's courtyard, there is a small figure squatting. The child May's face was flushed red from the cold, and his tiny fingers sketched on the ground, not knowing what he was writing.

When Lu Zhiming walked out of the yard, he smiled slightly when he saw the child, and sat on the side casually. When he caught a glimpse of what the child had drawn on the ground, he couldn't help but look condensed.

"What are you drawing?"

May turned to look at Lu Zhiming and blurted out, "It's the transformation of the stars that Mr. Murong often calculates."

"Mr. Murong?" Lu Zhiming's heart moved slightly, "Who is Mr. Murong?"

May hurriedly covered his mouth, knowing that he was talking too much, he couldn't help blushing.

Lu Zhiming was silent for a moment, rubbed his head, and said warmly, "It's late at night, go to sleep."

May shook his head, "I'm going to wait for her here."

"Go first, I'll take you to see her tomorrow."

May hesitated for a moment, a little unbelievable.

Lu Zhiming smiled and said, "Have I ever lied to you?"

Wu Yue grinned, stood up, staggered a step, pounded his numb legs, and walked away slowly.

In the early morning of the second day, Shen Zhu got up early, saw Rao Tu falling asleep, and did not wake her up. They had breakfast with Lu Zhiming, who also got up early. The two walked to a pavilion, but saw a stone inside the pavilion. There is a chess set on the table.

Shen Zhu looked at it intently, and it turned out to be a thousand-layer treasure pavilion Zhenlong chess game with five gatherings and six calamities. The white and black twins are all fixed on the chessboard, and there are two black and white chess boxes on the table, which contain black and white stones.

Shen Zhu asked the servant in Zhuang Zhong who was following behind him, "Zhao Lao Zhuang master often studies this rare chess set?"

The boy wondered: "The villain doesn't remember that there was a chess game here. Maybe... maybe it was just put up yesterday?"

Shen Zhu looked at the maid in lavender outside the pavilion and asked the servant, "Is this maid from the mansion?"

The little servant scratched his head and said ashamedly: "The villain has never seen it before. Maybe he just came here and doesn't know the rules. Let her go down."

Shen Zhu shook his head, and said in a low voice, "No need." He sat on Heizi's side, and pointed to the opposite side for Lu Zhiming to sit. Lu Zhiming smiled and said, "The chess skills you are playing are really bad, and you can't even discuss it with Lord Shen."

Shen Zhu smiled and said, staring at the chess game: "Hei Zi wanted to do the yellow ying butterfly technique, but Bai Zi counterattacked and was very anxious. I don't see any explanation."

Lu Zhiming smiled and said, "I heard that Lord Shen used to be a chess leader before becoming Huang Menlang. Even you can't see how to break the game?"

"The chess is to be ordered, although chess skills need to be refined, but if you add the word "sage first", the first thing that will bear the brunt is mental skills. The emperor is the emperor after all, and the chess skills are not so good, but you have to make him happy to lose and win peace of mind. It's hard."

Lu Zhiming smiled, "So I heard that Sir Shen, you only served as a chess court for ten days, and you were sent to the Imperial College by the emperor, and you were promoted from chess court to Huang Menlang."

Shen Zhu looked at the pond on the side of the pavilion, and said softly, "Shen Zhu's ingenuity is to let the emperor play chess with me, and I am unwilling to win or lose.

He looked at the little maid in purple who had been standing outside the pavilion, and asked loudly, "Are you a chess attendant?"

The purple-clothed maid gave a light salute, "Young Master Hui, yes."

"Please come forward and explain to me."

The maid stepped forward, her face was very delicate, but upon closer inspection, she could see that she was blind and was actually a blind girl.

Lu Zhiming got up and gave his seat to the maid in purple. The maid thanked him, but did not take the seat, but groped for a white stone and put it into the chessboard.

Shen Zhu squinted and saw that this move had surprisingly given up the cyclical robbery of dozens of chess pieces strangling together, and smashed out a small boat in the stormy sea, and suddenly turned the situation over so that Bai Zi had the advantage.

He looked at the blind maidservant in purple and said with a smile, "Really, you are the one who planned this game?"

"Young Master Hui, it's your servant."

"Who is your master?"

"The slave's previous master was the Murong Clan, and the future master is the son."

"Oh?" Shen Zhu heard her abrupt words, but was not surprised, and said calmly: "Girl can set up such a chess game, and the skill of hand-talking is unparalleled in the world, and she can also enter the top three. Qu Cai."

"The slaves don't feel inferior, but I beg your son to accept me as a blind man."

Shen Zhu didn't say anything, but got up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, looked at the lotus in the pond under the pavilion, and said with a smile, "How does the lotus bloom on a cold winter day?"

Lu Zhiming said, "There is hot spring water in this pond."

The maidservant in purple said, "In troubled times, build up talent."

Shen Zhu said in a cold voice, "It's obviously a monster, but I think it's beautiful!"

Rao Tu's voice came leisurely: "Shen Lang, even if you want to refuse, don't be so direct."

Shen Zhu turned to look at Rao Tu, "What are you doing here?"

Rao Tu came to the side of the purple-clothed maid and asked, "What's your name?"

"Slave Zhenlong."

"My husband doesn't want you, that's because he has no eyes, why don't you follow me?"

Zhen Long didn't answer, and Shen Zhu reprimanded: "Don't make a fool of yourself!"

Rao Tu glanced at him, "You want to find someone to play chess with me, can't you?"

Shen Zhu didn't talk nonsense with her, he held her hand to take her away, but saw a group of men approaching aggressively from a distance, it turned out to be a Guards in armor.

Lu Zhiming frowned slightly, and there was a crack on the stone fence supported by his palms.

The big butler Wang Quan greeted him, clasped his fists at the leader of the Guards and smiled, "I don't know how many officials..."

The leader of the forbidden army interrupted his questioning and said loudly: "Arrest the imperial prisoners!"

Wang Quan said in shock: "Our village did not harbor fugitives, and asked the official to make a clear decision."

"Whether there is a harbour or not, after the inspection, there will be a conclusion."

Wang Quan frowned and said displeasedly, "Lingbaozhuang is not a small family that can be bullied by others. Since the official wants to investigate, can there be a government's inspection order?"

The guard laughed when he heard the words: "I was ordered by the Holy High, and now I came here on the basis of the Holy High's order. Why, do you still dare to ask for approval?"

Shen Zhu's expression was complicated, and Rao Tu whispered in his ear: "Can the Imperial Guard directly raid residential houses without approval?"

He shook his head lightly, "Even if you have an oral order, you must show the emperor's token."

"Oh, that means these people are falsely preaching imperial edicts?"

Lu Zhiming said slowly: "Prince Yu, even if he kills first and then plays, so what?"

Rao Tu knew in her heart that the one who dared to use the forbidden ar to falsely pass on the emperor's decree in such an open and upright manner, except for Prince Yu, who was in the limelight, could never find a second person. It's just that don't know what the criminals were, and it was such a big battle.

After thinking about it, she felt that the fifth king, Xiao Yanning, was worthy of Prince Yu's such a big fight.

Wang Quan's expression changed slightly when he heard the leader of the guards say the sage's decree. The villain may be able to provide some clues to the official by self-examination."

Rao Tu said in a low voice, "Is this steward suspecting us? Let's just shy away."

Shen Zhu's face was light and calm, and it was understandable for the housekeeper to do so. If these people were really the so-called imperial criminals that the guards were looking for, what was wrong with distancing themselves in time?

One person walked out of the group of guards, and when Shen Zhu saw it, he slightly frowned. Rao Tu looked into the distance and saw that the man was a middle-aged Taoist priest in his fifties, wearing a strange Taoist robe, squinting his eyes, and holding a blind staff. He was also blind.

Lu Zhiming took a step forward with anger on his brows, and said solemnly, "Huang Fangweng!"

Rao Tu grabbed Lu Zhiming's sleeve and whispered, "Sir, don't act rashly!"

Shen Zhu got up and disconnected Rao Tu's pull intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered beside Lu Zhiming: "The old loach in Qin Tianjian has jumped out, it must be a good show, even if Mr. Lu wants to act for the sky, I'll wait until the play is over."

Lu Zhiming loosened his clenched fists and let out a long sigh, "Don't worry, Master Shen, you will know what to do next."

Huang Fangweng whispered a few words in the ear of the guard leader, the guard nodded frequently, and then said to Wang Quan: "Lead the way to Bailuyuan."

Raotu was shocked when she heard the words, Bailuyuan, wasn't it the yard where they stayed.

Wang Quan nodded hurriedly and said, "Bailu Courtyard is the place where guests are entertained in the village. A few guests happened to be here yesterday, please come with the villain."

Saying that, Wang Quan led the way and led the group of guards to Bailuyuan.

Rao Tu said, "You really came to find us?"

Shen Zhu frowned and said nothing, he was a little suspicious. Lu Zhiming suddenly said, "Not good!" He walked towards Bailuyuan.

"Could it be that the emperor is coming to get me?" Rao Tu looked at Shen Zhu, inexplicably.

Shen Zhu shook his head and said, "No. It's someone else, go and see."

Rao Tu was pulled away by him, she didn't forget to turn her head to the purple-clothed maid Zhenlong and said, "You wait here first, if it's not my business, I'll come to you again."

Zhen Long respectfully responded.

Walking outside the Bailu Courtyard, Rao Tu's face changed greatly when she saw the man who was handcuffed by the guard with heavy iron chains.

Even Shen Zhu was astonished, the guard was actually holding the child named May!

Rao Tu was anxious: "Why is May here? Didn't you send him to the East China Sea?"

Shen Zhu covered her mouth, "Don't be noisy."

The leader of the guards was confronting Lu Zhiming, and Lu Zhiming said coldly, "Could it be that the imperial court prisoner is a child under ten years old?"

The guard shouted: "Where is the wild Taoist priest, get out!"

Lu Zhiming stood there as steady as a mountain, "Lu wanted to ask today, what did this child do wrong?"

The guard looked ferocious, pulled out a steel knife and pointed at Lu Zhiming, "Don't know what's good or bad and ignore your life!"

Lu Zhiming laughed and suddenly tapped the blade with a flick of his finger. The crowd did not hear the sound, but were surprised to find that the blade of the steel blade was broken inch by inch.

He faced one person and said solemnly, "Huang Fangweng! Tell me, what crime did this child commit!"

The blind old Taoist said gloomily in the crowd: "Little Taoist surnamed Lu, you couldn't swim in the muddy water that your master couldn't navigate back then. It's not easy to practice. I advise you not to hit the stone with an egg, which will ruin the way."

Lu Zhiming flicked his whisk, took a heavy step, grabbed the iron chain around May's neck with both hands and struggled, breaking the chain. Protecting the child behind him, he said to Huang Fangweng: "Clearly orthodox, but go to the side! You have been a watchdog for the Xiao family for 20 years, and you have done too much to tamper with luck!"

Before he finished speaking, the whole person flew towards Huang Fangweng, and the speed was so fast that only a shadow could be seen flying by, and then people saw the old Taoist being lifted up to the eaves by the collar. Lu Zhiming held May in one hand and Lu Fangweng in the other, he shouted, "Go to hell!"

"Stop, sir!"

"Wait!"

"Don't, Mr. Lu!"

Three voices sounded at the same time, from Shen Zhu, Rao Tu and May.

Lu Zhiming looked at May alone and asked, "This man wants to kill you, but you want to save him?"

Wu Yue clasped his fists and said, "I don't want to save him, but I just can't bear the whole village of Lingbao Village to bury me with me. A few days ago, Lingbao Village took me in in hunger and cold, and I didn't want to repay my kindness."

Lu Zhiming's expression softened slightly, and he leaped off the eaves lightly, stretched out his hand and pushed Huang Fangweng to the ground, and said coldly, "One day, I will take your dog's life."

Huang Fangweng snorted coldly, got up from the ground and brushed the dust off his clothes, "I'll wait, don't die first!"

He turned his head and shouted to the guard: "What are you doing? Take people away!"

Seeing that May was being guarded by the young Taoist, the leader of the guards did not dare to step forward for a while, and waved his hand. The guards lined up behind him, encircling Lu Zhiming and May.

"Little Taoist priest, if you want to protect this child, I can't help you for a while. But, are you going to ignore the more than 100 lives in Lingbao Village?" Huang Fangweng threatened coldly.

Lu Zhiming was furious: "The imperial court kills innocent people indiscriminately, how is it different from a traitor!"

"If you let this kid escape, Lingbaozhuang is covering up the criminals, and they should be punished!"

May pulled Lu Zhiming's sleeve, "Mr. Lu, thank you for protecting me... Let me go with these people."

Rao Tu's heart moved slightly when she heard the words, and she smiled: "It's so lively, adults bully children, more people bully less people."

Shen Zhu had a headache, and when the guard looked back at her, who covered her face with a veil, he said loudly, "Since you have received the sage's order, show the token."

Huang Fangweng pondered for a while, "Which noble is this, forgive me for my blindness and deafness, I can't tell."

Shen Zhudao said: "It doesn't matter who I am, I just happen to know some rules and I will tell you. The saint is still here, you people are too eager to serve the new master. Besides, Lingbao Village stands in the rivers and lakes. If you don’t fall down for decades, you can’t eradicate it if you say it’s eradicated. Master Huang Laotian is well versed in Qimen’s arithmetic, and he has only been doing arithmetic deductions in the bottom of the well for decades, and it is too simplistic to think about the temples.”

Huang Fangweng tapped his fingers on the blind stick regularly, "Shen Zhu?"

"Exactly."

"You want to stop me? Think clearly."

"I won't stop Master Huang, if you want to take this child away, you can take it. I don't care what the child is involved in, and I don't care what you are calculating. It has nothing to do with me anyway. It's just, If you want to do anything wrong in Lingbaozhuang, ask me first."

Although Shen Zhu's words had nothing to do with May, it relieved Lu Zhiming from his worries.

Lu Zhiming said: "I am here today, you can't take this child away!"

Huang Fangweng waved his hand, and the guard raised his sword and slashed at Lu Zhiming from all directions.

Shen Zhu watched with cold eyes, expressionless. Rao Tu said in a low voice, "Look at these people's actions without any seriousness, they want to kill May on the spot."

Shen Zhu held her hand, "Don't mess with it."

"Hey, you coward, leave it all clean. If you get hurt in the slightest in May today, I'll never finish with you!"

Shen Zhu didn't say anything, and pulled away the women who were still thinking of being coquettish at this time, "Be careful of these people's blood splashing on you."

Hearing this, Rao Tu said angrily, "Shen Zhu, you are a cold dead person! Lu Zhiming is our friend anyway, so why don't you call the dead man out to help him!"

Shen Zhu hugged her in his arms and covered her mouth, scolding: "Shut up for me! You're so loud on purpose to let the surnamed Huang hear you?"

He was annoyed.

Rao Tu had not seen him so stern and serious for a long time, and couldn't help but stunned for a moment, then fell silent, staring at him with two watery eyes.

Shen Zhu knew that his words were heavy, rubbed her face, and comforted: "Lu Zhiming can't afford to lose."

On the field, Lu Zhiming had already taken more than ten white knives with his bare hands. Those guards were well-trained and were not disappointed when their weapons were taken. Dozens of people retreated in unison, abandoning close combat, and took out their bows and crossbows to surround the city, and the arrows were straight. Refers to Lu Zhiming.

Shen Zhu glanced at Yang Qian, Yang Qian understood, and was about to hear the dead man lurking in the dark.

A burst of music suddenly floated in, and Shen Zhu stopped Yang Qian and followed the sound. saw a cloud of purple, and seven maids in identical costumes flew into the sky carrying a bamboo chair, their purple robes swaying, like a fairy in the sky.

Sitting in the sedan chair was a man, dressed in lilac Mingguang brocade, holding a bamboo flute of Xiangfei Fei in his hand. If he hadn't been covering his mouth and coughing, he would be no different from a dead person.

The maid in purple placed the bamboo chair stably, and the man in the chair waved, "It's really bad luck." His voice turned out to be surprisingly warm and pleasant.

Rao Tu blinked, and Shen Zhu asked loudly, "Who is Your Excellency?"

"The Murong Clan of Liuli Mountain, come to the official."

Guanzi means the end of Go.

Shen Zhu said: "It's too early."

Seeing no movement, Mrs. Murong pulled away from the bamboo chair. A burst of purple energy rushed towards Lu Zhiming. Everyone saw Lu Zhiming spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell ten feet away, but Mrs. Murong was already steady. He fell back to the bamboo chair and held May's hand.

Wu Yue was startled and called out, "Mr. Lu!" Murong was pulled into the chair and sat down. The purple-clothed maid raised the chair, like a cloud of purple smoke, coming and going in a hurry.

Huang Fangweng shouted: "Shoot random arrows!"

The bows and crossbows shot at Ziyan in unison, but none of them landed.

Huang Fangweng faced Shen Zhu with his cloudy eyes, and Shen Zhu smiled at him, "Hurry up and whip, I guess you can catch up."

Huang Fangweng snorted and hurried away with the guards.

Rao Tu ran to Lu Zhiming's side, supported him and asked, "How is it sir?"

Lu Zhiming wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and slowly shook his head. The chess attendant Zhenlong who was waiting in the gazebo didn't know when, and took out a red-gold elixir to Lu Zhiming: "Master Murong gave it to Mr.

Lu Zhiming covered his chest, took the medicine pill and swallowed it, his breath was no longer so volatile.

Shen Zhu looked at the direction in which Ziyi was floating, and said with a sneer, "It's a good vote."

The two carriages left Lingbao Village and traveled in the vast wilderness. Rao Tu and Shen Zhu were in the same carriage, and Lu Zhiming was lying in the cart, being taken care of by Shan Gui and Liu Xiner.

Seeing that Shen Zhu had been silent, Rao Tu asked, "What exactly does that person want to do?"

"I don't know."

"What is the nomination?"

"He wounded Lu Zhiming and took Wu Yue away. It was for Huang Fangweng to see, so as not to involve me and Lu Zhiming. Obviously it was a good means for me, but wasn't it a certificate of honor?"

"Will there be anything wrong in May? Can your dead men find out?"

Shen Zhu glanced at Rao Tu. He didn't want Rao to be involved in these matters, but now it seems that he has fallen into a quagmire. "I think the Murong Clan will come to me."

As soon as the voice fell, only a voice came from a long time: "We have been waiting here for a long time."

Rao Tu was startled, she quickly lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see Murong Shi sitting alone on a bamboo chair blocking the road on the road ahead.

Shen Zhu got out of the car and walked towards him.

Not far away, a man in black came running on horseback, and when he got close, he pulled his horse to an emergency stop. He smiled and said, "Did this king miss a good show?"

The Five Kings Xiao Yanning.
