The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 217 Settlement
On the other side of Taihu Lake, willows are shady and the village is in the middle of the pond.

Murong Longcheng looked unhappy, as if he had lost his soul in front of the hall. After turning around a dozen times, he walked out of the village.

Qin Bo hunched over and asked, "Are you going to go out and fight again? I have no more clothes to change into at home. If you come back and break them, you will have to go shirtless."

Murong Longcheng raised his hand impatiently: "No fight today, I'm going to go out and check on someone outside."

Qin Bo was puzzled and asked, "Who are you investigating? Haven't you forgotten everything before? Who do you still remember?"

Murong Longcheng looked back at him and said, "Do you know the name Murong Yanzhao?"

Qin Bo pondered for a moment, then said woodenly: "There is no tomb of this person in the Zhuang Queen..."

Murong Longcheng frowned and said, "Take good care of the house. I may be back in a few days. If Murong Fu comes back, tell him to wait for me. I have something to ask him."

Qin Bo sighed and said, "Who knows when the young master will come back? I'm afraid he will fall in love with the outside world and never want to go home again..."

Murong Longcheng snorted, "Anyway, remember my words. Tell Murong Fu when he comes back... Old man, be more alert on weekdays. Don't go in without knowing that a thief has entered."

As he spoke, he walked out of the village, found a small boat by the waterside and jumped into it. Then he stamped his feet lightly, and the boat seemed to be steered by someone invisible. It turned in the water and headed towards Suzhou.

Murong Longcheng has been feeling uneasy these past few days, and he keeps thinking of the name Murong Yanzhao. Although he knows that this person seems to be extremely important to him, he cannot remember where he came from.

He looked through the genealogy book again and again, suspecting that this person was a relative of the Murong family's Yan generation, but for some reason he was not recorded in the book.

He was the last in the Yan generation, but no one else used the Long generation except him. He wondered whether he was also from the Yan generation of the Murong family. As for Longcheng, it was actually a name that was changed later.

The boat broke through the waves and sailed like an arrow. It soon arrived at the lakeside, and then jumped onto the land...

Inside Mantuo Villa, a fierce battle was going on. Xiaoyaozi was fighting one against three, but he was strolling leisurely and was not at a disadvantage at all.

He sneered, "This kind of rubbish again, Gongye Heihu, can't you call some real masters? This kind of useless thing wants to capture me, isn't it just a pipe dream?"

The expressions of the woman and the old man were extremely ugly at this moment. Their auras changed unsteadily and intertwined with each other, and they even integrated some martial arts moves into their skills, using force to assist intention and using intention to guide force.

Their skills had reached the peak and they seemed to be on par with the other party, but for some reason, they just couldn't defeat the other party. It was quite a struggle for three to fight one and they couldn't take it down at all.

Xiaoyaozi said calmly: "You guys are just mediocre at what you do. I've seen enough. It's time to end it."

Gongye Heihu's eyes flickered at this time, and he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Brother and sister, this thief's artistic conception is powerful, and it can help to improve his skills. It is best for us to use our special moves to attack him and consume his strength."

The woman and the old man nodded involuntarily and used their best martial arts. Although they could not match the opponent in terms of martial arts realm, they were not much worse in terms of internal strength. If they could wear down the opponent bit by bit, they might be able to win in the end.

Xiaoyaozi snorted coldly and looked at the two people rushing towards him like lightning. The old man's whisk was shaking with thousands of needles, as if it was raining silver needles. The woman's dragon and tiger double swords roared as if they could split mountains and seas. Their power was incomparable and covered all directions.

He suddenly let out a clear whistle, and his body was swept up by the strong wind, as if flying in the air. No movement could be seen as he rushed forward.

At this moment, Xiaoyaozi's body seemed to be controlling the wind. In one hand he held the Infinite Sea Treasure Scroll, and in the other hand he held the invisible internal energy. The two reflected each other, and a hazy sky blue glow appeared.

The woman and the old man couldn't help but freeze, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, which quickly turned into fear. At this moment, they desperately mobilized their inner strength and madly threw out all kinds of special moves, but they could not resist the invasion of the sky blue light.

At this moment, Gongye Heihu's eyes flickered and he showed a guilty expression. Then he seemed to have made up his mind about something. He took a deep breath, retreated more than ten feet, then turned around and ran.

After just a few breaths, he heard a series of screams coming from behind him. Sweat poured down his forehead and he cursed him in his heart, saying he was a waste. He was glad that he saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise he would have been beaten to death by Xiaoyaozi.

He escaped like a gust of black wind, and in a moment he was at the bank of Mantuo Villa. He jumped onto the small boat he had come in. He sank his feet, and using his inner strength, the boat rushed out with a "swoosh", and slid desperately away into the distance.

Including this time, he has escaped from Xiaoyaozi three times, and each time he was able to save his life by seizing the opportunity early. Xiaoyaozi's martial arts skills became more and more profound each time, and seemed to be improving every once in a while, which is why he has been unable to complete the tasks in the palace.

He felt great hatred and a little fear in his heart. Things can happen once or twice, but not three or four times. He failed to complete the task three times in a row and failed to bring the other party back. The palace would definitely punish him.

He might be locked up on the top of a snowy mountain, being bitten by vultures and pecked by birds, which would be extremely miserable. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

The boat rushed forward aimlessly. He looked back several times, but did not see Xiaoyaozi chasing him. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It is not possible to go back to Kunlun for the time being, but I cannot go far away either. I must continue to monitor Xiaoyaozi. It is not easy to find him. If I lose his trace again, it would be adding insult to injury.

Gongye Heihu was just thinking to himself when he suddenly saw a fort in the distance on the lake, with a water village faintly visible in the middle of the fort.

There are many islands in the Taihu Lake, and half of them have manors of different sizes, and some even have fishing villages attached to them. Gongye Heihu thought to himself that since he wanted to monitor the other party's whereabouts, it would be bad to go to the land, and it would be better to stay on the water. He carefully looked at the manor in front of him and felt that although it looked quite imposing, it was faintly decadent and seemed to exude some air of decline. He calculated the distance to Mantuo Villa in his mind, which was already quite far, and the two might not be familiar with each other, so he thought to himself that it would be better to see if he could settle down here.

The boat sailed into the dock in an instant, then moved forward a distance and docked at the shore of the village. Then he climbed on carefully.

Gongye Heihu looked around and used his inner strength to explore. The scenery was nice, but it was quiet without any human voices. There was only the sound of breeze, insects chirping, and rippling water.

He couldn't help but wonder, is it possible that such a large village lacks people? It seems a little abnormal.

I continued to walk forward cautiously and arrived at the gate of the village. I looked up and saw a square horizontal plaque with three big words "Chanhe Village" written on it.

What kind of weird name is this? Gongye Heihu muttered to himself. He could understand the meaning of Mantuo Villa where Xiaoyaozi lived, but he had no idea what this Chanhe Villa represented.

Seeing that the village gate was ajar, he picked up the door knocker and knocked a few times, but there was no response for a long time.

Could it be an abandoned manor? Gongye Heihu could not help but frown, with a suspicious look on his face. From the outside, it looked a bit dilapidated. Could it be that no one lived there? But how could such a big manor be abandoned?
He knocked a few more times and still got no response, so he pushed the door open and walked in. The interior seemed to be quite grand and the houses were exquisite, but the corridors were in tatters, as if someone had plowed the land a long time ago.

He summoned his inner strength and shouted loudly, "Is there anyone there?"

After a long time, he heard a rustling sound. He could not help but press the hilt of the sword with one hand and looked forward vigilantly.

Then I saw a hunchbacked old man holding a bamboo dustpan filled with beans in his arms. He walked towards me through several floors of houses.

Gongye Heihu looked at the other person and saw that he looked confused and didn't seem to have any martial arts skills. He felt a little relieved and said, "I am a tourist from afar. I passed by here to enjoy the scenery of Taihu Lake. Is the master at home?"

The old man was Qin Bo. He was holding a dustpan in one hand and picking beans in it with the other hand. He didn't even look at the other party and said in a dreamy voice: "Are you looking for the young master? The young master hasn't been back for several years..."

"Young Master? You haven't been back for several years?" Gongye Heihu couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this: "Father, is Young Master the owner of this place? Why haven't you been back for so long?"

Qin Bo murmured, "Who knows? Maybe the young master has something important to do and is too busy to come back."

Gongye Heihu looked at Qin Bo for a moment with a sharp gaze, then looked around again and said, "Old man, I see that the manor is quiet, and the two sides are messy and seem to have not been cleaned up, but aren't there many people in the manor?"

Qin Bo raised his head, his eyes blurry, and said, "There is no one here, they all ran away long ago, and now I am the only one left..."

Gongye Heihu was secretly delighted when he heard this. He was just looking for a place to stay, and unexpectedly this manor was just right. There was no owner at home, and there were no other people to disturb him.

He couldn't help but ask, "Old man, I plan to travel in Taihu Lake for a while. Can I stay at the manor for a few days?"

Qin Bo looked at him and said, "What did you say? You want to stay in the manor?"

Gongye Heihu saw that he was a little hard of hearing, so he repeated it loudly. Qin Bo heard it clearly this time and murmured, "You can stay, but there is not much food left on the farm..."

Gongye Heihu said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't have food. I have some silver here, which can be used as accommodation fee. You can use it to buy rice and vegetables."

Qin Bo nodded when he heard this: "It's good to have money, it's good to have money, then stay here, I will cook beans for you tonight..."

On the Guanluo Road, horses galloped straight towards the capital.

Zhao Ti touched the little silkworm hidden in his collar and smiled slightly.

The little silkworm was already familiar with the route, so he didn't need to hold it by hand for fear of it escaping. He didn't even need to build an ice house. He just needed to circulate the icy true energy in one part of his body and it would stay there obediently.

We entered Luoyang in the evening, continued our journey the next day, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Tokyo three days later.

First they went to Lvliu Manor to settle the people in the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands. Then Zhao Ti took Lan Jian, Zhou Tong and others to Tokyo City.

Not far from the city gate, Lan Jian said worriedly, "Sir, I heard that bringing weapons into the capital is prohibited. Should we hide this sword temporarily?"

Zhao Ti glanced at the Taizong sword she was holding and said with a smile, "It's okay, just carry it with you."

When they arrived at the city gate, the gatekeeper was shocked when he saw the few people there and hurriedly saluted. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Ti waved his hand, signaling them to go about their business, and then entered the city.

Lan Jian couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. Although he knew that his son was an official, he didn't expect that the soldiers guarding the city would recognize him. He wondered how high his official position must be to be able to enter the city openly with weapons in hand.

After entering the city, they did not stop. Bai Zhan led the way and the group went straight to Prince Yan's Mansion.
