Chapter 700, I want to enter the palace!
Chapter 700, I want to enter the palace!
Red Sleeves thought about it and said, "I didn't expect it yet." I'll tell you when I think about it. ”
"Oh well. Li Muyang smiled and said, "I owe you anyway." I'll keep it in mind. ”
Red Sleeves invited Li Muyang into the house and said: "In front of it is a doorman, which is used to deal in silk and satin cloth, and it is also to hide people's eyes------ the royal family and the Song family are digging three feet into the ground, wanting to kill us all." Who would have thought that Lu's also had a silk shop doing business openly on this Xuanwu Street. Business is not bad every day, and I can leave a lot of silver every month. ”
Li Muyang looked at the red-sleeved dress and said, "You are the owner of this silk shop?"
"I'm not the boss, I'm the boss's wife------- I can't do this kind of thing, I just come out occasionally and show my face, just don't let people suspect that I'm a suspicious person." Do you think I'm ugly like this?"
Li Muyang nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's good to get used to it." ”
"If it's too good-looking, it's always easy to attract some criticism. Dressed up like this, no one who has seen it once wants to take a second look at it, and there is a lot less right and wrong-----"
"I've wronged you. Li Muyang sighed softly.
"What are you wronged about? The Lu family has encountered a great disaster, and this is something that no one wants to happen. Red Sleeves also had a sad face, and said: "Besides, Master and I are deeply favored by Lu Lao, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid we would have died a long time ago." The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by springs. What's worth it to do something for the Lu family?"
"What is the current situation in Tiandu?" Li Muyang asked aloud.
Red Sleeves glanced at Li Muyang and said, "The situation in Tiandu is complicated, and there are some things that even I can't really see. After all, I am just the proprietress of a silk shop on the surface, and when it comes to the affairs of the court or the family, it is difficult to find out the truth. Master, her old man is also out of the house, maybe she can get some useful information from there. ”
"Lingshi Thousand Faces Poison King seniors also made a move?" Li Muyang asked in surprise.
Although Li Muyang has long known that the master of the red sleeves, the Thousand-Faced Poison King, is also one of the offerings of the Lu Clan's Lanyue Garden, however, the Thousand-Faced Poison King Shenlong is good at making poison, and her image is ever-changing, and almost no one can see her true appearance------
It can be said that the Thousand-Faced Poison King is even more mysterious than his own little dragon.
The Lu family did not fall, and when Lanyueyuan was alive, Li Muyang had never seen her real body. Now that the Lu clan has collapsed, Lanyue Garden has also been burned to ashes by a fire, but they didn't expect that their master and apprentice would still stay in a dangerous place like Tiandu to run for the Lu clan in order to plan for the future. How could this make Li Muyang not be surprised?
"What is the Thousand-Faced Poison King? Red Sleeves frowned and said, "Master's original nickname was the Thousand-Faced Bodhisattva. I don't know who deliberately distorted the facts, and even changed his name to the Thousand-Faced Poison King----- which is really infuriating. ”
"Okay, the Thousand-Faced Bodhisattva----- the Thousand-Faced Bodhisattva seniors also made a move?"
"Yes. She also lived in seclusion in this heavenly capital. Redsleeves said.
"Do you know where she's hiding?"
"I don't know. Redsleeves shook his head. "Master, her old man has come and gone without a trace, and no one can know her whereabouts. She was always in contact with me. ”
"Has she been in touch with you lately?"
"Nope. Redsleeves shook his head. "Master only said that she was going to do a dangerous thing. He also said that if the situation changed, he would notify me to retreat in time. ”
"It seems that the situation is not optimistic. Li Muyang said in a deep voice.
Red Sleeves glanced at Li Muyang and said, "There are three things that are closely related to you now. ”
"What three things?"
"First, the Cui family's Miss Careful and the Song family's Song Zhiyun's marriage is approaching -----"
Red Sleeves looked at Li Muyang's eyes and became playful, and said with a smile: "I should have gotten married a long time ago, but it was only because of many things that I delayed it until now. However, this time, I'm afraid I'm really going to get married. The date set is the 10th of next month, and there are only 20 days to go-----"
Li Muyang's heart twitched slightly.
It wasn't pain, it was sadness, and there was an indescribable regret.
Cui Careful, this woman who made her fall in love for the first time, this smart and cute, cautious and beautiful woman, this girl who awakened her yearning for love, but made herself infinitely lost, is she going to marry a wife after all?
"I've known about it for a long time. Li Muyang said softly.
"Not sad?"
"She has her happiness -----"
"And what if she's not happy?"
Li Muyang looked at the red sleeves and asked, "What do you know?"
"It is said that the young lady of the Cui family has a very bad relationship with the son of the Song family. The young lady of the Cui family wanted to withdraw from the marriage several times, but was unsuccessful. It's nothing more than a political marriage. The Song family needs the Cui family, and the Cui family also needs the Song family, and now the two families have a tacit understanding to replace the Chu family in charge of the West Wind Imperial Power------ but it's a pity that the young lady of the Cui family. The sky is bright and the moon is bright, and countless young heroes can't ask for it. But it has also become a tool for the chaebol to consolidate its power. ”
Li Muyang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What are the other two things?"
"The second thing is that Miss Song Chenxi of the Song family has been seriously ill for many days, and now her condition is getting more and more serious, and they all say that you may not survive this winter----- you have a good relationship with Miss Chenxi, and you have the status of master and apprentice, does this matter also have something to do with you?"
Li Muyang was silent.
It's ridiculous. He has an excellent relationship with Cui Cheng of the Cui family and Song Chenxi of the Song family and gets along well. However, it is the families of these two who want to put themselves to death.
Whether it is Cui Chengxin's big wedding or Song Chenxi's serious illness------ he really wants to do something for them.
But what can you do?
"I can understand your feelings. Red Sleeves patted Li Muyang's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Because of personal feelings, I naturally want to save Song Chenxi from death." It is said that Song Chenxi couldn't afford to fall ill because the dragon blood lamp beside him was extinguished------ but thinking of what their Song family had done, he felt that he really had no position to do anything for them. Song Chenxi is Song Lonely's sweetheart, because Song Chenxi's condition is serious, Song Lone took her to the old house where she lives, guarding her day and night, extremely pampered and cared for----- but I'm afraid I can't keep it, right?"
"What's the other thing?" After pondering for a long time, Li Muyang asked out loud.
"This third thing didn't happen in the West Wind, but it was also related to the West Wind Empire, and it was even more closely related to you-----" Red Sleeves didn't let Li Muyang wait too long, and said loudly: "The Peacock King Ying Boyan held a royal conference of the Nine Kingdoms, the meeting was held in the capital of the Peacock Dynasty, and it is said that the Wanling Jade Seal will be displayed to other royal families at the conference----- Wanling Jade Seal was originally taken away by you, but now it has fallen into the hands of the Peacock Dynasty, do you say this matter has anything to do with you?"
"It's finally here?"
Li Muyang was ecstatic in his heart.
During this time, he has been adrift on the road, but he is not as quick and sensitive as the red sleeves who inquired about various news in Tiandu City.
He did give the Wanling Jade Seal to the Peacock King Ying Boyan, and he did discuss the unification of the Nine Kingdoms with Qiandu----- but if Ying Boyan refused to support it, as the eldest princess of the Qiandu Peacock Dynasty, he would not have the ability and opportunity to promote this matter.
Only if Ying Boyan is willing to intervene and fully supports it, can this matter hope to succeed. Otherwise, once the news is announced, the other eight countries will fight back, how can they support it with the strength of one person?
Now the Peacock Dynasty has convened a royal meeting of the Nine Kingdoms in the name of the Peacock King Ying Boyan, and threw out the bait of the Wanling Jade Seal, indicating that the Peacock King has moved his mind to devour the other eight countries. Just wait for the nine kingdoms to make their ambitions public to the world at the time of the royal family meeting, whether to fight or talk, it depends on the reaction of each country.
However, the Peacock King reacted so quickly, could it be said that they already had enough strength and confidence to annex the Eight Kingdoms?
Li Muyang didn't hide it, and said loudly: "The Wanling Jade Seal was personally sent to the Peacock King by me. ”
"Reunification of the Nine Kingdoms?" asked Redsleeves with squinted eyes.
Li Muyang was shocked, looked at the red sleeves thoughtfully, and asked, "You came up with it yourself?"
After the Mauryan Dynasty sent an envoy to the Zephyr Empire to send an invitation, Song Lone said a word, saying that the Ying clan had great plans and was aiming at the Nine Kingdoms------ and this matter was also in full swing in Tiandu City recently, and countless young people and scholars took to the streets, and ran to the entrance of the military department to gather, threatening to die in battle rather than let the Ying clan's ambitions succeed------"
"I'm afraid someone is fueling the troubles, right?" Li Muyang sneered.
"Naturally. Song Lonely is a character like him, it is difficult for idle characters to see him, and what he said spread all over the streets and alleys overnight, if there is no one behind the scenes to manipulate it, it is naturally unconvincing. ”
Li Muyang thought to himself, although the idea of the Ying clan wanting to take the power of the Nine Kings was still in a state of secrecy, for some characters, it was just a fig leaf on that secret.
For example, a genius king like Song Lonely, he can see at a glance the reason why the Peacock King convened the Imperial Family Meeting of the Nine Kingdoms at this time------ those powerhouses in other countries can't understand it?
The most important thing now is to wait for the reactions of various countries, and whether the Peacock Dynasty has the domineering and strength to unify Shenzhou.
This matter can be said to have started because of Li Muyang, if Li Muyang does not give away the Wanling Jade Seal, I am afraid that the Peacock King Ying Boyan will not have such great ambitions in his heart. Even if you have such thoughts, you will wait for the right time and choose the right time to act.
"What can I do for them in the west wind?" Li Muyang thought to himself. If the meeting of the royal families of the nine countries is really convened in the Peacock Dynasty, then Qiandu, who is the eldest princess of the Peacock, will appear to entertain the guests as half a master.
At that time, it will be the beginning of her domination of the world, right?
Thinking of the young girl who had always been calm and sure as if nothing could surprise her, thinking of her red eyes holding her hand and crying, and thinking of the first kiss with the scent of mast when the Windy City City broke, Li Muyang's heart was filled with an ambiguous current.
With such a heavy responsibility and such a difficult cause, can her thin shoulders bear it?
"What can I do now?" Li Muyang asked aloud.
"Eat. After such a long journey, you must fill your stomach first. Red Sleeves said: "Childe has a thrilling journey?"
Li Muyang thought about it and told what happened to him in the small fishing village.
Red Sleeves looked solemn and said, "I'm also about to tell Childe about this." Recently, a group of mysterious people wearing black robes and wolf head masks have appeared near Tiandu City, and they have plundered the prime and young # children everywhere, and the chickens and dogs are restless everywhere they pass, and several villages have been slaughtered-------"
"Do you know who they are?"
"I don't know. Red Sleeves shook his head, looking at Li Muyang's face became extremely weird, and he looked like he wanted to say something.
"What's wrong?" Li Muyang asked aloud.
Red Sleeves didn't dare to look at Li Muyang's eyes, lowered his head and said: "Because they wear wolf head masks and black robes, they act in a ghostly manner, and they specialize in the prime of life and boys----- so they ----- ------"
"So what?" Li Muyang had a bad premonition in his heart.
"So, some people speculate that it was ------ the Lu Clan's wolf cavalry army------"
"What?" Li Muyang's face changed drastically.
The wolf cavalry army is the foundation of the Lu clan. It is the descendant of the Lu family, the backbone of the backbone.
Seeing the wolf cavalry, such as seeing the banner of the Lu family. The wolf rode over, and not a single grass grows.
That is the pride of the Lu family, and it is the dignity and face of the Lu family.
Now, after pushing the Lu clan down, those people still want to trample their reputation under their feet------ although they have always done so.
A crime of treason destroyed the thousand-year-old exploits of the Lu family, and nailed the Lu family's loyal martyrs to the pillar of shame.
"Childe, don't be angry, it's just some boring people chewing their mouths and talking nonsense------ Lu's wolf cavalry is the lion of the empire, how can they do such a hurtful thing? Besides, with the Lu clan's suffering, the wolf cavalry has lost its prestige ------ back then."
Li Muyang forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Just because they wear wolf riders, they put all their notoriety on the wolf cavalry?"
They said that ------ Lu still had descendants and was still plotting to usurp the throne. They arrested these young and young # children, in order to retrain the army----- and when the wolf rider returned, they would once again compete with the Chu clan for the ------ of the world."
"Damn it. Li Muyang was once again glad that he had no mercy in the small fishing village, he killed one of these people when he met them, and killed a pair when he met them. I thought it was irrelevant, but I didn't expect that when these people were doing such a dirty thing, they were still smearing their Lu family's face----- no, this is just pouring dung.
"Childe, don't be angry. Now that you've arrived in Tiandu, you don't have a few days to come. Besides, haven't you already recovered a few points of interest today------ they often act in Tiandu, and I think they are also a certain force hidden in Tiandu. As long as you check carefully, you will definitely be able to find clues. ”
Li Muyang nodded and said, "Let's eat first." Is there a place to rest at night?"
"Yes. Redsleeves said, "You and I share a room." ”
“--------”
Red Sleeves also blushed slightly, and said: "There are only two rooms in total, usually one room for each person between me and the shopkeeper------ now you come, either you go to a room with the shopkeeper, or you and I have a room." ”
Li Muyang thought for a while and said, "It's okay. Give me a futon, and I'll sleep on the floor." ”
"Whatever you want. Redsleeves bit her thin lip and said.
Such a gesture of rejection, coupled with this ------ face that people can't bear to look at more, is easy to have nightmares at night.
---------
Inspectorate of Inspection.
After dealing with a day's official business, Yan Xiangma stretched his waist and arms a little tiredly.
Since the last time he came out of the Kunlun Divine Palace, he has been very unpopular in the Supervision Division.
Or rather, he was even more unpopular than before.
Because of his friendship with Li Muyang, everyone regarded him as a heretic. And because he is a descendant of the Yan family and has the deep background of the Cui family, the position of Director of Supervision Shi was not taken away.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid my head would have been cut off several times.
The previous history of the palm seal of the Supervision Department was King Fu, which is now the Emperor of the West Wind. There are also three major inspectors general, one is Xu Da, the other is Cui Jian, and the other is Yan Xiangma.
Xu Da is Lu Xingkong's confidant, Lu Xingkong died tragically, and Xu Da was also implicated. Although he escaped at the time of the incident because he went to Los Angeles to inspect a major case of embezzlement of military salaries, the vacated position he had left was no longer filled.
Yan Xiangma is also a guilty person, and he is not clear about traitors, so he is naturally even more unpopular in the Supervision Department. Therefore, the current Supervision Department has all powers
