Yang Fan and Shen Mu stood at the edge of the cliff. They first gazed at the gorge and indifferently said something. Then, they looked at each other with excited expressions. As they spoke, Yang Fan suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Mu's collar. He then buckled his belt and lifted Shen Mu up.
When Shen Mu's subordinates saw this, they immediately unsheathed their weapons and rushed over. Ren Wei, Gu Er, and the others didn't hesitate either. Both parties used the Telekinesis Technique and rushed to Yang Fan and Shen Mu's side at almost the same time. Seeing that Shen Mu was already under Yang Fan's control, Shen Mu's subordinates didn't dare to take even half a step closer.
Shen Mu was lifted into the air by Yang Fan. In front of him was a precipitous cliff. If Yang Fan loosened his grip, Shen Mu would fall down and be smashed to pieces. However, even though Shen Mu was in a sorry state, he didn't seem flustered at all. There was even a hint of a mocking smile on his face. However, because he was suspended in the air, his smile seemed a little strange.
"Youngsters are still youngsters after all. They can't keep their composure and want to kill me just because of a disagreement. Erlang, this doesn't suit your current status. Why don't you think about whose territory this is? Even if you can kill me, do you think you can leave safely? Don't think that you can guarantee your safety just because you're an official. Even if you can mobilize the army to escort you back to the capital, you and your family will continue to be hunted until you die. Do you believe that? "
"I don't believe it!"
Yang Fan sneered and suddenly threw Shen Mu forward. Shen Mu's subordinates cried out in alarm. They realized that their Sovereign wasn't being thrown down the cliff, but towards them. Several of them quickly abandoned their weapons and went to catch Shen Mu. Yang Fan threw Shen Mu with quite a bit of force. Those people caught Shen Mu and had to take a few steps back before they could dissipate the force.
Yang Fan said, "Shameless boasting. So what if you're 'Young Master Jiang'? If you die, then so be it. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Do you think that your men will be loyal to you? After you die, will they still be loyal and devoted to you? "
Shen Mu stood still and tidied up his clothes. He smiled and said, "Since you don't believe me, why did you let me go?"
Yang Fan pressed down on the hilt of his saber and said sternly, "Because I want to defeat you fair and square!"
Shen Mu disdainfully glanced at him and said, "You?"
Yang Fan said solemnly, "Just me! In the past, I spent too much energy on the imperial court, which gave you the opportunity to take advantage of. Now, as long as I focus on Jianghu, Jianghu will no longer be your world. The future king of Jianghu will definitely be called Yang Fan. If you don't believe me, just wait and see! "
Yang Fan didn't seem to want to bicker with Shen Mu anymore. He waved his hand and left with his men. Shen Mu's men turned their heads to look at the Sovereign. Shen Mu's relaxed smile disappeared the moment Yang Fan turned around. There was only a trace of cold killing intent in his eyes.
After Yang Fan left, he immediately left Wuzhang Plain with his family.
They sped all the way until they reached the intersection of the official road outside a big city. At this time, a group suddenly rushed over from another road. Under the command of Ren Wei, Yang Fan's hundreds of guards immediately became alert.
The Sovereign tried to reconcile with Shen Mu, but both sides became more and more tense. Although they were already close to the city and it was unlikely that someone would rob and kill the current Defender-supporting General, no one could guarantee that such a thing would not happen.
The group of people gradually approached. When they saw their faces clearly, Ren Wei and the others were stunned. This group of people was a little too strange. A small half of them were border soldiers, but the other half were Tubo people wearing triangular lapel lapel robes and wide-brimmed hats. Judging from the flags they were waving, there were flags of both Tang and Tubo. This was obviously a group of Tubo people escorted into the city by the border army.
Even so, Ren Wei still didn't dare to be careless and ordered his men to be on high alert. When those people arrived in front of them, they found it strange that Yang Fan's men looked as if they were facing a great enemy. However, they didn't think that someone would dare to rob and kill soldiers here. Therefore, they only looked at them curiously and turned into the main road into the city.
The soldiers in front had just turned into the official road when a border army general lightly galloped over. When this person saw Yang Fan, he was immediately startled. After taking a closer look, he immediately dismounted from his horse and hurriedly took a few steps forward. He cupped his fists towards Yang Fan and said with slight excitement, "Qizhou's Major Qian Zhiyu greets the Defender-supporting General!"
Yang Fan was wearing a casual robe at this time. He didn't expect that someone would recognize him in this place. He was slightly startled and asked in surprise, "Major Qian, you recognize me?"
Qian Zhiyu nodded repeatedly and said, "I recognize you, I recognize you. When the Defender-supporting General toured Wuzhang Plain, this lowly official was the secretary of the Qizhou government. I once accompanied my magistrate to escort the Tubo and his personal envoy to the capital and met the Defender-supporting General once. It's just that this lowly official's position is too low, so I've never had the honor to speak with the Great General. This time when the Defender-supporting General toured the Qizhou government, the imperial court informed the local authorities. This lowly official recognized you at one glance. "
Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh. This person's memory was really good. When he and Wan 'er toured the Qizhou together, he only met him once. Now that seven or eight years had passed, he unexpectedly still remembered.
Yang Fan nodded and said, "So that's how it is. I wonder if the Tubo people escorted by Major Qian this time are the Tubo's envoy?"
Qian Zhiyu said, "Exactly."
Yang Fan said, "Oh, the Tubo King sent an envoy to the east this time. What is his purpose?"
Qian Zhiyu said, "Uh … it's also for marriage."
When Yang Fan heard this, he was greatly surprised and involuntarily said, "Marriage? Isn't the Tubo King only seven or eight years old now? Are they going to get married so soon? "
Qian Zhiyu put his hands down and said with a smile, "The Tubo King is still a month away from turning seven years old, but … marriage, age is not a problem."
Yang Fan was speechless. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, I won't delay your official business any longer."
Qian Zhiyu hurriedly said, "How can this lowly official dare to compete with the Great General Who Supports the State? Great General, please go first."
Yang Fan said, "Hehe, I came to Xiqi this time to tour the mountains and enjoy the scenery. Only by riding the reins of the horse will I be able to enjoy the scenery. You go, don't worry about me. "
Only then did Qian Zhiyu reluctantly agree. He led the horse for a distance before climbing onto the horse's back. He then ordered his men to slow down to avoid stirring up dust and making the Great General unhappy. Seeing how meticulous he was, Yang Fan's impression of this person deepened a bit.
…
In the Cloud Gazing Pavilion, Li Xian and Empress Wei sat there, smiling as they watched the shouting and neighing of the horses on the field outside the pavilion. A small, vermillion red ball, under the struggle of the ten people on both sides, continuously transformed into a red arc that swept across the sky.
On the wide polo field, ten horses galloped back and forth freely. The riders on the horses waved their staves as if they were brandishing horse-slaying swords. They were full of murderous intent and were as graceful as dragons. Among them, there was a young and handsome rider whose skills were particularly superb. Whether it was galloping on the horse or swinging his stave to intercept the ball, he was awe-inspiring.
He was bare-chested, and his strong muscles glowed with a bronze light. Due to excessive exercise, his firm muscles glistened under the sun, revealing a kind of infatuating masculine beauty.
"Good!"
Seeing that the rider swinging his stave again, the red ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the goal. Empress Wei couldn't help but applaud and exclaim, "That was a great hit! Si Xun, what's this young man's name? "
Because Yang Si Xun had beheaded Ye Huli under the Black Tortoise School, he had been put in an important position by Li Xian. Now, he was a high-ranking eunuch serving the emperor. Hearing Empress Wei's question, Yang Si Xun glanced at the young man and recognized him as the imperial bodyguard Yang Jun who had just entered the Yulin Guard for less than a month. He replied, "Replying to Your Ladyship, this person's surname is Yang, and his full name is Yang Jun!"
"Yang Jun …"
Empress Wei nodded and raised her charming eyebrows, saying, "This man hit the ball well. Reward him with three gold coins!"
Yang Si Xun quickly agreed. A young eunuch went to the palace treasury to retrieve the gold to prepare as a reward for Yang Jun.
At this time, the field changed, and at the same time, it was halftime. Empress Wei withdrew her gaze and began to chat and laugh with Li Xian. When the second half began, Empress Wei suddenly felt some discomfort in her stomach, so she left early to return to her chambers to rest. Li Xian was a fan of the Ma Family. Seeing that his wife didn't seem to be seriously ill, he stayed behind to continue watching the game.
After Imperial Physician Luo Jinrong received the Empress' decree from the palace eunuch, he asked about the Empress' discomfort. After a moment of thought, he said, "This Imperial Physician will arrange for a suitable imperial physician to enter the palace. Please wait a moment, eunuch."
Imperial Physician Luo Jinzheng walked out of his room and called over a young medicine boy, telling him to summon imperial physician Ma Qinke. A moment later, Ma Qinke hurried over with the young medicine boy.
This Ma Qinke was about thirty years old. His face was like a crown of jade, his eyes like bright stars, and his temperament was refined. He was truly a man of striking appearance. And in his every movement, there was an indescribable refinement, as if he was a scroll filled with the fragrance of ink. Who knew how many young girls who lived in the legends of talented scholars and beautiful women would fall in love at first sight when they saw such a distinguished person.
When Ma Qinke saw Luo Jinrong, he smiled and cupped his hands, greeting, "Imperial Physician Luo."
Luo Jinrong said, "Imperial Physician Ma, Her Majesty's jade body is not well. She wants you to enter the palace to treat her."
Ma Qinke made an 'ah' sound and happily bowed, replying, "Yes! This Ma will enter the palace now. "
Luo Jinrong continued, "Her Majesty's jade body is very precious. You must be especially careful when treating her. Cough, you must not show off your medical skills. You must be safe … understand?"
Ma Qinke understood tacitly and revealed a grateful expression, saying, "Yes, many thanks to Elder Imperial Physician for your teachings."
He took Luo Jinrong's hand and shook it gently, as if expressing his gratitude. An extremely smooth and round object was gently stuffed into his palm.
Luo Jinrong felt the longan-sized object in his palm, his hand naturally drooped down, the bead was tucked into his sleeve. He said to Ma Qinke, "Come with me, the palace eunuchs will take you in. This is your first time entering the palace. You must be well-behaved at all times and listen to that eunuch's advice. "
Along the way, Luo Jinrong thought, "This Ma Qinke's medical skills in the field of gynecology are extremely brilliant. If not for his young age, he would have long become a famous doctor. Now I only need to endure for a few days. Why did he give me so many benefits just to fight for this opportunity to enter the palace? If I can obtain the Empress's appreciation, I will become famous even faster. But are the people of the Tian family so easy to serve? Accompanying the Emperor is like accompanying a tiger. In the end, he is still a young man, eager for quick success and instant benefits … "
