Chapter 246: Keeping Silent (IX)

There was a rumor that by the Longsugou flyover, which was used to suppress the water veins of the capital, there was a prestigious small restaurant called the Nine Nine Pavilion, which was visited by an endless stream of prominent officials and dignitaries.

The boss’s wife is a charming widow, but never rumors spread over the years. Regardless of the family and the anointed children in order to grab a table, how to conflict in the nine nine pavilion disputes, no matter how the two sides fought in the dark, seems to have never heard of a big man cover the nine nine pavilion, always in the next day opened as usual. If you go late, the pavilion as long as the closing point, any you are the son of the general’s grandson, all closed. Nine nine museum more so, but the more the capital old gourmets clear slanderers in mind, although it is very likely that the minister of this big man, down the restaurant, may also be bold shopkeeper threw face, but everyone is happy to do so.

Song family two husband, Tantan Weng Huan Wen, the State Crown Prince Yao Baifeng, in addition to Gu Jiantang, almost all the successive six ministers, hands plus feet can not count over the central ministers, without exception, all to this feast.

This year, there is another big figure, Qi Yanglong, it is said that the Lord of the Central Book Order has not yet formally become a subject of the Liyang, the first thing to do in the capital is not to meet the Prince of Heaven, but to go straight to the Jiujiu Pavilion, and got drunk, and even more exaggeratedly, so deservedly the leader of the literati, was almost kicked out of the Jiujiu Pavilion by the proprietor’s wife.

Today, the business of the nine nine museums is still destined to be hot, the main door which has not yet opened, outside that a luxury car and a horse and a high horse, has already made that the street near the river became crowded, many diners are patiently lined up in a long queue.

A short old man with a limp came to the door of the backyard of the nine nine museums, compared to the hustle and bustle of the main entrance, this unknown seven turns to walk into the narrow alley, extremely cold, perhaps because of the scarcity of people, near the foot of the wall have grown some green moss, the sunlight is blocked by the high walls, it seems a bit gloomy. The lame old man did not rush to knock on the door, but stared at a squatting on the steps of the yawning young man, the latter also opened his mouth wide-eyed look at the lame old man.

In fact, they “know” each other, the old man who usually only rests his precious eyes on the feudal lords and ministers, the reason why he remembers this rogue guy is because the young gangster appeared on the street outside the Lower Mawei post house yesterday, and had a “peak battle” with the young feudal lords. “, crippled old man returned to Zhao hook that day, soon knew the details of this young man, is indeed Liaodong Jinzhou government issued a road guide, the old man even after he arrived in the capital lived in what inns ate what meals are clear, and even this guy called Wu Lai Fu with the innkeeper on the room price of the details of the price cuts, are entered into the Zhao hook archives. Originally, the old man has been roughly confirmed that this so-called “Jinzhou first young knight”, “Liaodong second knife”, is not what is not known to the light of the spies, is an unknowing, unintentionally involved in the vortex of the capital of the city of the city scoundrels, but to see Wu Lai Fu appeared in the But seeing Wu Lai Fu appearing here and now makes Zhao Hook’s big head, who has always believed that there are no outsiders in the world and no outsiders in the world, have a murderous heart.

Resting that iron sword on his knee, Wu Lai Fu coldly yelled, ”Old man, I know you! Although you didn’t put up a fight yesterday from start to finish, I know that you’re actually an expert just like me wow!”

Wu Lai Fu smiled skinlessly, pondering how to kill this guy without moving.

Jiu Jiu Pavilion, was Zhao Hook’s forbidden place. No matter how high or low the status of the Liyang spies were, they were not allowed to approach.

This was a stereotypical rule established at the hands of Yuan Benxi.

Although Mr. Yuan is dead, but the lame old man is not willing to alarm the woman who is hidden in the city because of a little triviality unless it is absolutely necessary.

This time, the old man with a limp broke Mr. Yuan’s rules, but he had no choice, the new Zhao Hook master has spoken, so he had to come here to make people hate him.

The crippled old man, who even the King of Beiliang and the Whisking Water Room only knew him by his surname Yao, looked at the young man who was carefully holding his sword and asked with a smile, “Young warrior Wu, why do you have the leisure to squat here and look at the sun?”

Wu Lai Fu’s martial arts handle is not in the top class, but not stupid at all, or else he could not rush to steal the limelight before Li Haoran, nowadays, the three words Wu Lai Fu are not small in the capital city’s fame. He went and returned twice yesterday, the first and last of that battle in the eyes, which the middle-aged man’s aging and the cross-sword boy’s death, both let him sigh, then always do not show the lame old man, naturally, not what he Wu Lai Fu can wrestle with. So Wu Lai Fu is very nervous, palms are sweaty, but he still maintains that very beaten smile and said: “Senior ah, see the sun where not to see, right? I’m here to nine nine pavilion to beg a job to do, from Liaodong to the capital, this is not all used up, I’m not the kind of bullying martial arts to violate the prohibition of the jianghu people, is the most law-abiding good people.”

Crippled old man smiled and said: “Looking for work? The capital is so big, where to find is not to find?”

The young man’s smile became more and more stiff, his eyes turned sharply, hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and said: “Senior, we are all open people, I might as well tell you straight, the capital knows that the nine nine pavilions of the water is very deep, I think about it, a woman can hold up such a pavilion, either she is a hidden masters of the world, either the pavilion is a first-class martial arts master, or maybe a cook is a master of the martial arts, or maybe a cook is a master of the martial arts, or maybe a cook is a master of the martial arts, or maybe a cook is a master of the martial arts, or maybe a cook is a master of the martial arts. I’ve come to Nine Nine Pavilion to find a job, secondly to make money, but mainly hoping to learn from the masters a mastery that is enough to dominate the martial arts world!”

Crippled old man staring at this whimsical young man, do not know is a slap dead count, or should be thumbs up praise a you kid really fucking have wisdom root.

The crippled old man looked at the guy with “incomparable sincerity in his eyes and innocence written all over his face”, and couldn’t help but tease, “If I remember correctly, young warrior Wu was an expert who only lost one and a half moves to the King of the Northern Liang, why, do you still want to go up a level in the path of martial arts before you are satisfied? ”

Wu Lai Fu laughed nervously, “More skills are not overpowering, the jianghu hides dragons and crouching tigers, I learn a few more hands of the bottom of the box skills, after all, is not a bad thing. Look at the North Liang King, fists, swords, and the last move ‘Invitation to God’, means endless, I compared to him, in the end, or a little short of the fire ah.”

The crippled old man laughed: “In my opinion, young warrior Wu has sample things, it is much better than the Northern Liang King.”

Wu Laifu asked softly, “It wouldn’t be thick skin, would it?”

The crippled old man stuck out his thumb at this fellow, “Young Warrior Wu, worthy of being a gifted martial arts practicing wizard! In the future, your martial arts achievements will definitely be unlimited!”

The young man scratched his head and accepted this “compliment” with a smile.

The crippled old man somehow lost his killing intent, ignored this young warrior of Liaodong, walked up the steps and gently knocked on the door.

There was no response from the backyard.

The crippled old man is so not anxious to knock down.

The old man was not in a hurry, Wu Lai Fu from the beginning of curiosity, speculation, anticipation, to the end of yawning, rolling his eyes, snapping his earwax, really could not wait any longer, Wu Lai Fu stood up, wearing that iron knife, then slapped heavily on the wooden door that had lost a lot of paint, shouting: ”Boss’s wife, boss’s wife! I’m the Wu Lai Fu who was going to work for you as a shopkeeper yesterday, you don’t open the door for me, but there is still a respected jianghu senior beside me who is looking for you urgently, don’t delay the big event! Boss lady, really, I don’t fool you, really have seniors pay a visit to the door, the oldest waiting here, I was afraid of seniors at first to disturb your rest, froze without courtesy to block him for half a day, boss lady! You see it’s all like this, if you don’t open the door again, whether it’s from the jianghu morality, or in terms of the reasoning that the visitor is a guest, boss lady, you can’t say it anymore ah!”

The crippled old man pulled the corners of his mouth and endured.

Wu Lai Fu slapped the small door with a shocking bang.

When that door suddenly opened, Wu Lai Fu was not paying attention and almost slapped on the body of the person who opened the door, fortunately the latter gently moved to avoid it, but Wu Lai Fu fell into the door and fell into a dog shit.

That shocking glimpse.

Let Wu Lai Fu sit on the ground in a daze.

That young woman is definitely not the boss’s wife, the boss’s wife is Xu Niang half old, quite feminine, but after all, Wu Lai Fu is not good at this, he is still interested in a young woman of a comparable age, the face should be beautiful, the breasts should be large, the waist should be thin, the buttocks should be round, and the legs should be long, the requirements are not too high, and he just meets with his identity as a young warrior.

And the woman who opened the door was the most moving woman Wu Lai Fu had ever seen in his life, maybe even plus the next life is the best looking woman.

Wu Lai Fu sat on the ground, looking at the back of the one standing in the doorway, this young man who dared to play mind games with the King of Bei Liang, but he didn’t even dare to talk to her.

The crippled old man, who was the second most important provider of the Ministry of Justice, looked at this woman who was the top of the rouge evaluation, and wanted to say something.

She was originally supposed to be one of Mr. Yuan’s most colorful and wonderful players, but things were unpredictable, and even the calculating Mr. Yuan had lost his battle.

Back then, there was a three-player game on the chessboard, and although Mr. Yuan had thought of a series of formulas, it was a pity that someone finally made an “unreasonable move”.

In that encounter, Mr. Yuan claimed afterwards that both he and Huang Sanjia had lost to the same person, which was a great regret in his life!

Looking at the old man in front of her, who had once personally escorted her to the capital, the woman blandly said, “Mr. Yao is here to urge me to head to that Liaodong Clan King’s residence?”

The crippled old man sighed and shook his head, “No, I’ve come to find Shopkeeper Hong.”

She frowned and shook her head, “Aunt Hong won’t see you.”

The old man shook his head as well and called him by his name, “Chen Yu, in this matter, you don’t get to say anything.”

Chen Yu.

After hearing this name, Wu Lai Fu was struck by lightning.

The top of the rouge evaluation list!

That Nangong surname of the mysterious woman, the comment can only be “not lose Chen Yu” four words, to know that the rouge evaluation of the third person, is that a sword into the city like the immortal in the past years of the Western Chu Princess, now the Western Chu empress, Jiang Nai!

Chen Yu was silent.

Rao is the old man who has long been unable to make waves against beauty, no matter how many times he has seen her, he still had to sincerely sigh with emotion at the beauty of her bells and whistles. No wonder even Mr. Yuan exclaimed “Scourge of the world, Queen of the world.”

Wu Lai Fu suddenly kicked in the back, and fell once again full of dust dog-eat-dog shit.

A woman stood beside Wu Lai Fu, did not approach the courtyard door, looked at the lame old man who did not cross the threshold, coldly said, “Nine Nine Pavilion does not have a bone for you to carry!”

The crippled old man, who was called a dog, was expressionless and flicked his finger, Wu Lai Fu’s head was hit like a heavy blow, swayed backward and fell to the ground, not knowing if he was dead or alive.

Then the old man said softly, “Boss Hong, this time, I invited you to come out of the Nine Nine Pavilion, it is the Empress Mother’s intention.”

The boss’s wife did not speak.

Chen Yu lowered his eyes.

The crippled old man quietly waited for the following.

The boss lady finally spoke, filled with a sarcastic tone, “What, do you want me to go to the palace gates and stop you? Or just stand guard outside the main hall? If you had known this, why did you bother? Now you finally know you’re afraid?”

The old man’s eyes trembled for a moment as he said, “The Empress Mother’s decree is …… to let Shopkeeper Hong go to the Chintian Supervision Bureau.”

After saying these words, the old man, who never dragged his feet no matter whether he was speaking or killing, unprecedentedly increased his tone and repeated those last three words, “Chin Heavenly Monitors!”

The boss’s wife, who had been looking calm, violently burst into a rage, “Get lost!”

She reached out and pointed at the lame old man, indignant to the core, “Surname Yao! You roll back to the palace and tell that shameless woman! I’m not on good terms with her Zhao Pheasant to this extent!”

The old man seemed to anticipate the woman’s attitude and continued with a stern face, “The Empress has asked me to deliver two messages to Boss Hong, one being that if Boss Hong is willing to travel to the Chintian Supervisor, then Chen Yu will be able to stay out of King Liao’s house as a royal consort.”

The woman laughed back in anger, “Zhao Phei, ah Zhao Phei, the entire Liyang knows that you favor Zhao Zhuan far more than Zhao Wu! Not only did you force the first eldest son to give up the dragon chair to his younger brother, but now you’ve even spared the eldest son this pitiful compensation he should have gotten!”

Chen Yu ignored it as if he was an outsider.

His Highness, the World Prince of Northern Liang, the late Emperor Zhao Dun, the eldest prince Zhao Wu, and the fourth prince Zhao Zhuan.

Back then, the ragtag family, which was one of the ten most powerful valves in the Spring and Autumn, wanted her to enter the capital and become an Imperial Consort before competing for the position of Empress.

Her mentor, Huang Sanjia, however, wanted her to marry the young man who went out to travel the rivers and lakes.

Later, a Mr. Yuan, whose speech was slurred, wanted her to approach the Fourth Prince, who had not yet married Yan Dongwu.

Then, the woman who became the Empress Dowager asked her to marry the eldest son, King Zhao Wu of Liao, who had no hope of getting a dragon robe in his life.

No one asked her who she wanted to marry.

Her grandfather, who was once known for his courageous spirit in the original forest of China, only told her before he died that she was needed for the family’s revitalization.

The teacher, whose identity was hidden and whom she respected immensely, just smiled and said that there was a book that should be written this way.

That half-inch tongue Yuan Benxi, just with a finger dipped in wine, in front of her face, on the desktop wrote six words: you queen, I live.

In the end, she was summoned to the palace, looked at the woman from a distance, only to see the woman seemed to nod, let herself out of the palace.

Not once did she resist.

Chen Yu never aspired to the jianghu, because she knew that the men in the jianghu, seemingly scenery, in fact, everyone can not help it.

She also never aspired to the palace, because she knew that the women there, everyone is a bird in a cage.

But Chen Yu knows what she does not want, but never come to not know themselves, what they want.

So time and time again, the nature of the upheaval, Chen Yu can not talk about any sadness, there is no self-hatred, such as duckweed with the current.

When Chen Yu heard teaching himself paper-cutting Aunt Hong, once again to the lame old man said the word roll, Chen Yu or not half a bit sad spring and autumn, to go or not Liaodong, when not the Princess, is it important?

The old man looked at the woman who had been a widow for many years, the old man did not get angry, a legendary woman who was able to make both the late emperor and Mr. Yuan look at her in a different way, even if she smashed her fist on her head, the old man would not care about anything.

The old man calmly said, “Shopkeeper Hong, the Empress Mother’s second sentence is saying that Xie Guan Ying is already in the Chintian Supervision Bureau, and King of Shu Chen Zhi Bao may also be there.”

The woman instantly quieted down, her lips turning white.

She painfully closed her eyes and murmured, “Zhao Phei, you’ve never been like this, you used to be able to disregard everything for your own man, and now you’re doing it for your son ……”

The old man glanced at the sky and reminded, “If you don’t go, it will be too late.”

She slowly opened her eyes and asked, “Is the carriage ready?”

The old man nodded.

The woman walked towards the door and when she passed by Chen Yu, she suddenly held her hand and softly said, “Go with Aunt Hong. It’s quite good if we die there.”

Chen Yu thought about it and smiled.

Qintian Supervisor, which was not well known in the city, was the premier dynastic center of the capital city of Liyang, and many of the yellow and purple ministers of the three provinces and six ministries had never had the opportunity to dabble in it in their entire lives, and so whether or not an official could go to the Qintian Supervisor’s collection of books to borrow a book or two had invariably become a benchmark to measure the weight of the capital’s officials.

Lu Baijie in the resignation of the Secretary of the Ministry of War, the last thing done, from the inner city of the forbidden army secretly draw out eight hundred elite armor, responsible for guarding the Chintian Jail.

And just two days ago, the Chintian Prison, which was already considered to be heavily guarded, quietly added more than six hundred elite soldiers overnight.

Two wearing armor instead of the official robe of the generals, a nearly flower armored, one is at the age of young and strong, the two are by the knife and stand, standing in front of the entrance to the Imperial Palace as two “god”.

Difference of a generation of the two men face similar, like a pair of father and son.

In fact, this is exactly the case, the old general is stationed in the northern part of the capital of the shooting sound lieutenant Li Shouguo, in the Spring and Autumn War military success is mediocre, but the cumulative merit to the size of sesame green beans deputy lieutenant only, so five years ago Li Shouguo success step by step promoted to the capital of the four major lieutenants of one of the shooting sound lieutenant in the capital, in the capital of the officialdom and in the capital of the military are only being passed on to the jokes, very politely to a “peace lieutenant! ” nickname, meaning that he Li Shou Guo if in the chaotic times, on the basis of his ability to pull the diluted, not to mention as the most powerful lieutenant of Liyang, whether to be a lieutenant are hanging, these years rely on is really good Kung Fu flattering the horse, will not fight, but will be an official, especially by chance to climb on the northern generals of the army horse Lu Lang’s high branch, which has fetched such a hot coveted! The official position.

Only this kind of tone of voice, with Li Shou Guo’s eldest son Li Changan last year in the capital city army stand out, gradually dissipate, Li Changan, however, but the age of standing, in the present day after the ascension of the throne of the son of God, was quickly promoted to the Liyang permanent military generals in the middle of the generals, is extremely solid from the fourth grade generals, the significance of its equivalent to the civil officials in the six departments of the Langzhong out of the local as a county magistrate position, from the virtual to the real, if you can not make big mistakes on the job. If you can not make a big mistake in office, the nail is to sit and wait for the promotion of the title. Strange to say, never been to the border of the two Liao, even more no war heroes in the body of Li Chang’an, in this before, although not quite no name, but compared to the younger Yin Changgeng Han Shengyan stream, obviously is not enough to look at, but this person has become the first set of His Majesty to promote the military generals in the one of the capital officials doubly feel foggy. Good things come in pairs, Li Changan’s younger brother Li Changliang, but is followed by Wang Yuanyan within a few playboys to go to the northern Liang Youzhou tour a trip, back to the capital soon after the Ministry of the Army transfer orders, a move to become Liaodong Duo Yan elite cavalry a lieutenant.

Father and son three people, a shooting voice lieutenant, a general, a Duo Yan lieutenant, which makes the ancestral tomb of the Li family suddenly in the dynasty and the field has a “small Gu family” said.

Although the father and son teamed up to guard the gate of the Qin Tian Supervisory Commission, Li Shou Guo and Li Chang An always did not look at each other, and did not cross their eyes at all.

Compared to Li Chang’an’s calmness, Li Shou Guo’s face was at ease while his heart was actually beating a drum. First eldest son Li Changan in some time ago, one day suddenly ordered to enter the palace to face the saint, soon transferred away from the inner city, leading the eight hundred capital city forbidden army stationed in the imperial city located between the palace city Qin Tianjian, and he himself from the north of the capital city to enter the capital at a rapid speed, into the capital of the transfer order, and not even from the Ministry of War in the normal course of events, but as the Li family benefactor of the great general of the conquest of the north of the tiger symbols! To know that the general Ma Lu Lu Lang is nearly eighty years old, lying on the couch for many years, in the Liyang military, on seniority, only Zhao Kui Yang Shen apricot Yan Zhenchun a few people can be compared to, coupled with the Yang Yan two members of the Spring and Autumn veterans of a depreciation of one death, even if Ma Lu Lu Lu Lu has been nearly ten years have not participated in the celebrations and the court, but the late emperor and the present day Son of Heaven have never been short of the family of the Ma should be rewarded, and it is clear to anyone that as long as the Ma Lu one day does not die, even if only half a breath, the Ma Lu Lu is not dead. Even if it is only hanging half a breath, as long as the old man does not completely breathe, then the mansion geographic location than Yan Guo Gong Huaiyang Marquis mansion even better Ma family, will still be that in the capital coughing a few times, the temple on the huge movement of the Ma family.

Li Shouguo originally could not guess a with the officialdom is not related to the Chintian Supervision, why need to be so organized, six hundred forbidden army plus their own command of the capital of the northern army of the most elite eight hundred soldiers, one thousand four hundred people, is to guard against who? And who can afford this grand treatment?

It was not until he heard that before the King of Northern Liang entered the capital, he brought 800 northwestern cavalry troops and made the western army of the capital led by Hu Cavalry Lieutenant Wei Chi Chang Gong into an escort, Li Shou Guo finally came to a sudden realization. Because himself is the shooting sound lieutenant of the real power of military generals, coupled with Li Shou Guo in the war in East Vietnam to save the life of the old general’s only son, very early to become with the North General Ma Lu Lang’s guests, early years in the Ma family residence vaguely heard a secret story, as if to say that the city of Tai’an had a treacherous conspiracy, targeting at that time has not yet been crowned king of the clan of the people slaughtered Xu crippled, and has died of illness of the Chintian Supervision of the Southern Huayu, played a less glamorous role in the The only son of the great general Ma Lu Lang. The only son of the great general Ma Lu Lu Lang, at this time holding the entire Gyeonggi East Army military power of the Andong general Ma Zhongxian, drunkenly and vaguely talking about this matter, look quite proud of the smugness. Li Shouguo knew that a sound-projecting lieutenant was far from enough to touch the inside of that conspiracy, perhaps only when his eldest son Li Chang’an became the first of the four conquests of the four towns, could he hope to learn the horrifying truth that was covered in the layers of curtains, and was accumulated in the heavy dust.

The Four Conquests General, Ma Lu Lang, has been on his deathbed for many years, and the family’s favor has not diminished. Zhao Kui ignored the disputes for many years and rose again in the time of crisis, sharing the power with Lu Shengxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition.

Yang Shenxing left the capital for Jizhou at an early age, seemingly at ease, but in fact, he was already far away from the center of the dynasty, which affected the speed of Yang Huchen’s climb up the ladder. If Yang Huchen hadn’t lost an arm on the battlefield of Guangling Road, the cost of which was so great that it put the dynasty over the top, otherwise, not to mention the vice-general of Jizhou, I’m afraid he would have sunk into obscurity, and then waited until Yang Shenxing died of old age someday, and the Yang family would have been quickly reduced to a second- or third-rate family in Liyang.

Yan Zhenchun, the famous cavalry commander with great achievements, the real military general with great honor to the Zhao family, but the whole army died in the battle at the border of Guangling Road, and in the end, there is only a posthumous posthumous award to bring into the coffin, and that’s all.

Four great generals of the dynasty with the same rank and second only to the great general Gu Jiantang ended up with four almost very different outcomes.

Li Shou Guo was both horrified and chilled after figuring out that hidden ins and outs.

Ma Lu Lang, a bigwig of the old military department in Liyang, was the first of the old capital honchos to show strong hostility to the old Liang King Xu Snapdragon.

Zhao Kui, was the general who firmly supported fighting a battle for the Western Basement Wall back then, but near the end of the Spring and Autumn War, Zhao Kui, who had once fought side by side with Xu Snapdragon, began to lean towards Gu Jiantang, and then even more so, he did not follow the Xu family’s iron cavalry into Shu, but instead chose to assist Gu Jiantang in his attack on the Southern Tang. Zhao Kui and Xu Snapdragon were at loggerheads during the great feast in the capital to reward the meritorious officials. Zhao Kui was also one of the late emperor’s pawns in his fight with the old King of Jing’an, Zhao Heng, before he ascended the throne.

Yang Shenxing, had a shallow relationship with Xu Snapdragon and hardly had any personal friendship to speak of.

Yan Zhenchun, a general who held Xu Snapu in high esteem, personally saw Xu Snapu off from the city when he left the capital to become a feudal lord.

Li Shouguo wondered what the mood of the respected old general was when he led the army for the last time in his life.

Li Chang’an, the eldest son, who had always been quiet and prudent, did not promise him, his father, to organize a banquet after he was promoted to the position of a central general without warning, but only had a secret conversation between father and son that absolutely must not be made known to anyone. In that conversation, it was Li Changan, the son, who was teaching Li Shou Guo, the father, how to be an official, talking not about the shallow way of ushering in and sending out, but the art of attaching a dragon, which was similar to how to appreciate the heart of the Holy Spirit. Until that time, Li Shouguo realized that his son has long been the emperor’s heart, and the rest of the set of earlier by the late emperor secretly appointed as a minister to support the dragon fellow generals, Li Chang’an is relying on their own chance encounter, and thus fortunate to get the trust of the then still the fourth prince. Li Changan bluntly told his father, his majesty had some implicit hints, to the middle general as a starting step, he Li Changan three years later will be his father Li Shouguo to pay his respects as the price, promoted to the next general of Anbei, another three years, is to go to Liaodong or Guangling, or Northwest of that place, whether to become the iron armor of the border officials, it depends on the ability of Li Changan himself.

At this moment, the mixed feelings of Li Shou Guo gently sigh.

The Li family from him to the two sons, all is the rich and powerful ah.

When Li Shou Guo saw the carriage in the distance, he began to breathe heavily.

Even if he dies here today, as long as his son Li Changan survives.

As long as his son Li Chang’an survives, the Li family will have the hope of becoming the second Xu family instead of the Gu family!

Behind the gate with the plaque “Tong Wei Jia Guo”, inside the Qin Tian Jie, there is an altar of the Gods of Jigen, paved with five-colored soil from the Guangling Road.

East green, south red, west white, north black, center yellow.

A middle-aged Confucian scholar squatted in front of the red tribute soil in the south, and beside him stood a teenager with tightly pursed lips, wearing the official uniform of the Supervisor of the Qin Tian Supervision.

Status and Longhu Mountain contemporary Tianshi equivalent, become the dynasty’s second feathered minister of the Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Wu Lingsu, noble northern Taoist leader, at this time because it is not good to follow the Confucian squatting, but this is a tall Wu Shenxian if you are standing straight, but also appears to be too much disrespect to that nicknamed the small bookcase of the teenager Supervisor of the Lord, so had to try to bend over.

With his son Wu Shizhen and called Tai’an City size of the real Wu Lingsu, very immortal style of excellent selling, these two years in the capital can be said to call the wind and rain, even that JinSanLang also want to their father and son as a valued guest. But at this time, bent over Wu Da Zhen Zhen trembling, back that soaked through the Taoist robe sweat, do not know the sun sun hot sweat, or scared out of the cold sweat.

An old man dressed in white approached, and Wu Lingsu, the highest official on the stage, was the first to hastily speak out, and said respectfully to this old man with great Xuan Tong, “Supervisor Vice Lord, the poor Taoist is saluted.”

Responsible for the imperial court to deduce the stars to promulgate the calendar of the Chintian Supervision, really for Liyang Zhao room rely on the big man, in addition to the Supervisor of the two Supervisory Vice, not the spring, summer, autumn and winter of the five official Zheng, the rank of the lower rank of the JijiuZheng stream, not to mention, but those who do not wear official robes are only dressed in white immortal masters, not to mention that this is also topped the Supervisory Vice of the title? In front of this old man’s white qi practitioner, Wu Lingsu before several times to meet or middle-aged man appearance, overnight, Wu Lingsu see him again, is this scene.

Yesterday in the lower Mawei stage pavilion side to break the bottleneck, successfully among the realm of the heavenly image of the Chintian Supervision Supervisory Deputy Lord, the face of worry, to the man who did not get up softly said, “Mr. Xie …….”

The Confucian scholar stretched out his palm and placed it flat on the soil, smiling, “I know that Diffractive Sage Gong has left the capital, don’t worry, I will personally preside over the operation of that grand formation.”

The Qi Practitioner Patriarch was about to say something when Xie Guan Ying got up and clapped his hands, turning around and saying, “In addition to the 1,600 men from the Li family’s father and son, there will be another 300 imperial guards that are already on their way.”

The Qi Practitioner Patriarch still looked like he wanted to speak, Xie Guanying glanced at the towering unauthorized building in the capital and seemed to smile, “What, do you have to have me say that His Highness, the King of Shu, is right there, so that you can really ‘feel at ease’ when you Jin An Xin is at ease?”

That Supervisory Deputy breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed at himself with a bitter expression on his face, “Mr. Xie, I have given up the Heavenly Dao not to go, and am no different from a pure martial artist of the Xuan Yuan Dapan stream, so naturally I cannot know that His Highness the King of Shu has already arrived.”

Xie Guan Ying’s tone was playful, “Immortal warrior Qi first went to Wudang Mountain to meet Hong Zaixiang and knit a haystack to cultivate. Also see Li Yu axe, along the banks of the Guangling River walked a few hundred miles to the city of Tai’an, was Yu Xinlang inadvertently pointing through the layer of esoteric and esoteric windowpaper, give up the certificate of ascension not to mention that, even the land gods do not go to do it. Jin Xin’an, what do you think?”

Jin Xin’an hadn’t been called out by name to his face for decades, and for a while, he was somewhat in a trance.

Xie Guan Ying looked up into the cloudless sky and said softly, “Lu Zu had a saying, do not ask if there are gods in the world, how many risers have risen in the past and present. It also said, to subdue the fire dragon and ambush the tiger, the land gods and immortals are great real people.”

Wu Lingsu chewed a bit, only feel subtle is subtle, just for him this half-baked cultivator is not useful. However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Deputy Supervisor Jin fall into deep thought, his expression changing.

Xie Guanying slowly walked towards Tongtian Terrace, let him dutifully assisted the king of Shu recently two times in a row acted unexpectedly, one is the north into the capital, one is to enter the Chintian Supervisor.

Xie Guanying’s footsteps are not stopping, to Jin Xinan put down a sentence, “If there is still the idea of ascension, remember to kill Li Yuaxe before it’s too late.” With the emperor and empress are extremely close to the relationship between the juvenile supervisor is following Xie Guanying side, without the awareness of the great war is imminent, hehehe laughs: “Mr. Xie, there is a called Fan Chang after the chess player, playing chess than you are good oh.”

Xie Guanying smiled and said, “What’s so great about being better than me, playing chess like this, I can’t even compare to Li Yishan, who is recognized as a stinky chess basket, only that I know my own strengths and weaknesses, and never go to make a fool of myself. Nalan Right Ci is not the same, I remember that year, I watched him lose Li Yishan sixteen games, but also do not give in, victory and defeat heavy hearted people I have seen a lot, so heavy, really only one of him. Oh no, your old Supervisor Grandpa also counts as one, he still thought that you could win a game against Huang Longshi until he died, right?”

The teenager sighed and helplessly said, “Yeah. I actually don’t like chess too much, but Grandpa Supervisor insisted that I learn how to play, so I couldn’t do anything about it.”

Xie Guan Ying curled his finger and knocked the teenager’s head, “How many people are dying for something they can’t get, but you kids dislike it.”

The teenager grinned and suddenly lowered his voice, “Mr. Xie, are you digging at His Majesty the Emperor?”

Xie Guan Ying was unsurprised, his pace of ascending the stairs remained frank and calm, “Don’t tell him.”

The teenager blinked, “Why?”

Xie Guanying steps up the stairs and laughs softly, “If you promise, I’ll tell you why your Supervisor Grandfather, will always lose to Huang Longshi, and why he can’t be the Chess A in the Thirteen A’s of Spring and Autumn.”

The teenager thought for a moment, “It’s a deal.”

“I’m going to give Jin Xinan a favor.” The teenager turned around and thumped all the way down the steps.

Xie Guanying came behind Chen Zhi Bao, who was standing near the “heavenly path” on the Heavenly Platform, and asked, “This step, or are you still not willing to take it?”

Chen Zhi Bao did not answer.

Xie Guan Ying slowly said: “the north and south of the two schools of qi practitioners, Tantai calm themselves do not know that she has broken the heart of the Dao, Jin Xinan is even worse, to sacrifice the root for the root, the original decades of accumulation, the most promising grain of the heavenly way seed, hard to pull out the seedling, their own tossed themselves out of the way. And the old Supervisor Nan Huaiyu convinced the late emperor, did not adopt the new calendar written by Li Dangxin, in this way, the old heavenly way gradually collapsed, you and I are the people who benefit most from it, even if Cao Changqing does not die, not letting your qi plus body, the same can become a thousand years down, following Lv Zu, after the only one of the three saints of the realm of the people, Gao Shulu also to be eclipsed. I’m afraid that apart from Wang Xianzhi, Li Chungang who was at his peak before A Zi, Xu Fengnian when he had just defeated Wang Xianzhi, and Cao Changqing when he was determined to die next, none of them would be a match for you.”

Chen Zhi Bao said, “There is also Deng Tai’a who truly held a sword, Xu Yan Bing’s dying shot, and you, Xie Guanying, who is willing to give up being that earthly emperor for a thousand years.”

Xie Guanying shook his head, “You know that I will not strike for this bit of vanity, the cost is too great.”

Xie Guanying suddenly said, “The reason why you are unwilling to take this step is because you don’t want to dip into Xu Fengnian’s light?”

Chen Zhi Bao was silent.

Xie Guanying laughed and shook his head, “If that’s the case, what are you doing in the capital, watching Xu Fengnian flaunt his power for fun?”

Chen Zhi Bao remained silent.

Xie Guanying sighed softly, “Self-contradictory.”

After a long time, Chen Zhi Bao who was looking into the distance said for no reason, “We seem to have missed someone.”

Xie Guanying said lightly, “Give more effort, but the disobedient pawn, death is death.”

Outside the Chintian Supervisory Authority, Li Shouguo, a sound-shooting lieutenant, is like a great enemy, two carriages on the left side of the successive almost galloped, and then stopped abruptly not far away from the main gate coincidentally.

Two?

Besides the King of Northern Liang, who else would dare to come to this muddy water?

Could it be that Surname Xu had reinforcements?

Li Shou Guo reached out his hand to signal Li Chang An not to leave the gate, and walked towards the two carriages alone, resulting in the nervous lieutenant freezing on the spot.

The two carriages, walked down two elegantly dressed women.

But after getting a good look at one of them, Li Shou Guo immediately knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: “My lord Li Shou Guo, see the Empress Dowager!”

Zhao Pian, who had turned from the Empress of a country to the Empress Dowager of this dynasty after Zhao Zhuan ascended the throne, nodded her head slightly, “Get up, guard the gate, no one is allowed to enter.”

Li Shou Guo hurriedly got up and returned to the main gate of the Qin Tian Supervisory Authority, Li Shou Guo, whose face was full of sweat, saw Li Chang An, his eldest son, who was showing a relieved look, and thought to himself, “Good boy, if it wasn’t for the Empress dowager’s arrival that made you show your fox’s tail, I almost thought that you were really not afraid of it at all.

Two women of similar age but with very different demeanor stood at a distance of five or six paces and looked at the other end of the street side by side.

Empress Dowager Zhao Pheasant said with a somewhat hoarse voice: “Today you must stop him even if you die, or he dies!”

The Jiu Jiu Pavilion’s proprietress laughed, “Having lied to his mother back then, this time, is it still a lie?”

Zhao Pheon looked violently sideways at this woman, biting her lip dead center with some blood.

This woman who had once married that scholar named Xun Ping, I don’t know if she was crazy, but she even laughed cheerfully and said, “I, ah, am just a woman, and now I’m even a widow doing small business. Back then, even if I knew that my man was seeking death, I also endured not to get involved. Originally came on the road, indeed is thinking of desperately want to stop that child, just get off the car, somehow, even if you watch the child to die, but also feel that I should not stop him. Women, turn the other cheek, not just you Zhao Pheasant, in fact, everyone will.”

Zhao Pian narrowed her eyes, “Do you want Xu Snapdragon and Wu Su to die a son so much? And it’s still the eldest son, Xu Fengnian?”

The corner of the boss lady’s mouth pulled up, “Zhao Pheasant, my memory is better than yours, I remember Xu Snap said a long time ago that there is no one under the sky who is rightfully alive or uniquely incapable of dying, there is no such thing! There is no such thing. It’s not easy for a man to walk in the world, so it’s not a shame to think that he can live, but there are times when it’s more important to die! But there are times when it’s more important to die!”

Zhao Pheasant’s face sank like water.

At some point, there were young women standing behind the two women.

Princess Zhao Fengya of Sui Zhu.

Chen Yu.

The two of them, one haggard, the other radiant.

When the Nine Nine Pavilion’s proprietress saw that black dot at the end of her field of vision, she turned her head and smiled at Chen Yu, “Back then, you actually should have caught the opportunity to make a move, there are some men, ah, it’s a pity to miss them.”

Chen Yu seemed to remember something from the past, raising his finger to point at his chest, smiling and shaking his head, “Aunt Hong, back then, the first time I met that guy, he made a beeline for me, a man like that, it’s really hard for me to get my hands on him.”

The boss’s wife held back her laughter, cursed the brat, and said hatefully, “The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked! Sure enough, he’s the same color as his father!”

Chen Yu hmmmmmed twice, his eyesight slightly lowered, looking at the towering scenery there, his eyes clearly full of smiles, but his words were a bit aggravated, “I’m here, it can’t be a fake, right?”

The carriage slowly approaches.

Even though he knows that there is Empress Dowager Zhao Phei present, today’s Qintian Supervisor can’t make a scene, but Li Changan is just a moment to tense his heartstrings, Li Shou Guo is even more sweaty almost blurring his vision.

A young man lifted the curtain and stepped out of the car.

He didn’t deliberately go around the four women, Empress Dowager Zhao Piang, Princess Zhao Fengya, Xun Ping’s wife and Chen Yu, but he didn’t deliberately approach them either.

Seeing this, Zhao Piang clenched his hands and said in a deep voice, “Xu Fengnian!”

Xu Fengyen, who was facing the Qin Tian Supervisor, slowed down his steps.

Zhao Piang gazed at the handsome face that resembled more like a certain woman back then, this still young young man, unlike the spiritedness he saw earlier that time, unlike that time when he had a head full of gray hair, this time, the young man surnamed Xu, introverted and calm.

Zhao Pian said angrily, ”Xu Fenian, don’t forget that you are now the King of Northern Liang! Nowadays, the Northern Mang will still be marching south with their armies at any time!”

He didn’t stop walking, another ten steps or so and he would have left them with a back.

Zhao Pheasant increased his tone and said, “Yuan Benxi, Yang Taiyou, Han Shengxuan, and Artemisia Liu, one by one, are all dead! Except for Yuan Benxi, all three died directly at your hands! All dead!”

When Zhao Pian realized that the young man still showed no signs of stopping, a hint of deeply hidden panic appeared in her eyes, and she forced herself to calm down and said, “Xu Fengnian, even if you don’t think about your own life and death, you should think about the millions of households of the people of Northern Liang! If you die in Tai’an City today, don’t you know that 300,000 iron cavalry will kill their way to the capital? Don’t you know that the Northern Mang army will then step into the Central Plains along the way?!”

The young man finally stopped.

Zhao Pheasant could just about see the angular side of his face.

Perhaps it was the relationship between the coarse northwestern wind and sand and the battlefield grinding.

There was no more femininity in the young man’s face, only perseverance.

Seeing that this man stopped in his tracks, Zhao Phei did not drop the slightest bit of caution and continued, “The Emperor has tolerated regression at every turn for your unauthorized entry into the capital this time, you, Xu Fengyen, should understand that!”

Xu Feng Nian did not turn his head and looked at the Chintian Supervisor whose atmosphere was solemn, “Many people, including you and Tun Zhao, don’t understand why back then, in the capital’s white coat case, why my father went out of the capital and returned to the hundreds of thousands of iron-armored and clanking Xu family camps, and he still didn’t lead his troops to kill Tai’an City. And to his death, my father did not tell me exactly why.”

Xu Fengnian paused for a moment, “But after I wandered around like a dog for three years outside of Northern Liang, I knew why. Xu Snapdragon did not dare, nor was he willing to drag those robes who had sacrificed their lives to fight in the north and south for half of their lives to accompany him to their deaths. But if he Xu Snapdragon is not just a small second grade master in martial arts, but a premier martial arts expert, he will definitely single-handedly go straight to the palace to kill all of you! Do you know what you want to do most when you return to Northern Liang? Not one day hereditary reckoning, holding the 300,000 border troops of Northern Liang, but to practice martial arts, practicing to be the best in the world! I wasn’t afraid of death, but I was afraid that if I practiced all my life, I’d end up like Xu Snapdragon and only become a minor master. I hated practicing martial arts even when I was dreaming.”

No one knew that on the border of Liangmang, back then, there was a young man who went to his mother’s thousand gold sons to sit in the hall, when he finally ranked among the first line of the Vajra realm.

How fastidious it was!

Xu Fengnian narrowed those eyes, ”The reason why I’m saying this is because you are women. But you, Zhao Pheasant, don’t forget that in the case of the White Clothes in the capital, my mother was also a woman!”

Xu Fenian began to walk forward.

At the gates of the Qin Tian Supervisor, densely packed iron armor swarmed out.

And at the end of the streets on both sides, there were even countless elite cavalry troops running wildly!

Zhao Pian, the owner’s wife of Nine Nine Pavilion, Chen Yu, Zhao Fengya, the four of them heard the young man’s last words.

“What Xu Snapdragon wanted to do back then but failed to do, today I, Xu Fengnian, will do it.”

Xu Yan Bing was no longer sitting on the carriage, moving slowly for the pole shako gun, loading that head.

Inside the carriage, there was a wide black and gold python robe that had been removed from his body neatly folded.

The young man who was walking towards the Chinatown.

He had an old cool sword dangling from his waist.

Dressed in onyx.
