On August 18, the heavenly wolf slaughtered, and the seven slaughtered chaos.

As Ling Yin Zi walked out of Ruoao Mansion, when he was about to get into the car, his steps paused, and he suddenly looked back at the gold plaque hanging on the Chu Zhong Hall in the Huawu High Hall in the distance, and suddenly spoke, "When the old man of the Heavenly Clan came, was he calling the golden plaque outside to cover the dust?"

"Yes, the relationship between the eldest prince and the princess was tense in those days...... So the old slave is negligent......"

The housekeeper bowed and trembled slightly, not daring to fool around again.

"Today's rain has passed, and the sky is fine, so I can wipe it well, and I see that this gold plaque is still a little dirty. ”

Ling Yin Zi raised his head, staring at the eight golden characters of "Loyal to my Great Chu, virtuous for generations" in the morning sun, which was extremely dazzling, but there was a little blood light refracted on it, and after saying this sentence in a deep voice, he stepped into the carriage.

The carriage started, and with the ringing morning bell, it merged into the traffic of the court officials in the early morning.

In the Wanji wonton shop, everyone didn't sleep all night.

Listen to the calm streets outside, and look out cautiously through the panes.

All the shops were open for business, and there were almost no idlers on the road, and a large number of servants poured into the streets, quickly cleaning up the large patches of blood and dead bodies left on the road last night, and clearing a clean road surface for the nobles to travel.

Lao Wan and Xiao Si saw that Ah Yuan had been leaning against the window and paying attention to the movement outside, and asked, "What happened last night?"

Armies with different numbers, many parties are fighting together.

They still don't know who will win and who will lose in the end.

Xiao Si worried, "The princess will be fine, right? The king didn't strike the dynasty for three days, why did he suddenly go to the court?"

Everyone looked at Ah Yuan, and Ah Yuan didn't answer until he saw Ling Yin's convoy come out first, and then said, "Last night, it should be that the princess and Lord Ling Yin teamed up to clean up the capital, but the less everyone knows about this, the better...... Just act as if nothing happened. ”

Everyone nodded.

Then Ah Yuan said, "On the contrary, there is another thing that needs everyone's help, and that is the truth about the death of the princess in childbirth......"

"The princess is gone, is there another secret?"

"Yes, now this prince is not born to the king, but a child of unknown origin found by someone with a heart, in vain to bring the Son of Heaven to order the ministers. Ah Yuan said to everyone.

"Who is so bold as to actually push a tomboy to the throne?" Lao Wan was slightly shocked, that was a big crime to kill the head and punish the nine clans.

"Three princesses. Ah Yuan said in a deep voice.

"What?"

Everyone was shocked, they couldn't imagine that this battle for the throne was even darker than they imagined, "The princess is the mother of the third princess, this is too vicious...... Tiger poison does not eat children, but the children are ......"

After the shock, everyone's eyes froze, "General, don't worry, in this world, there is no real fake!"

"It's like a homeless case. ”

"The truth will be revealed. ”

After a group of patrolling soldiers left from the front of the store, a few black shadows stuck in the corner of the wall knocked on the window, Ah Yuan quickly explained a few words to Lao Wan and them, and went out of the window the same way, and joined everyone, but there was no Si Jian Yang Yuji and others.

He frowned and asked, "What about Si Jian leading them, did they come back safely?"

"No, we haven't received any of them until last night......" the crowd shook their heads.

"How so?"

Ah Yuan was secretly shocked, and a bad premonition rose, "No, hurry back to the palace." ”

……

In the courtier's hall next to the Zhu Palace, Chu officials in court clothes came and went, holding stacks of official documents and bamboo slips, as hurried as usual.

After more than half a year of Ruo Ao Ziyan's high-pressure work, no one has time to really be idle, not only because of the war in the north, there will be the latest good news every day, but also because of last night's scuffle, no one knows what happened.

Is it the internal cleaning of Ruo Ao's six departments?

Or is it the dispute between Ao Duwei and the princess?

Or is it a three-way scuffle?

And what is the result?

The ministers whispered.

……

All the court officials and the little officials who assisted them were busy in an orderly manner, and Cheng Jia, who followed Ling Yin Zi to the court together, asked, "How are you going to explain the matter of Yuejiao in the court today?" ”

Ling Yinzi's big hands, rubbing his body to sit on the chair for nearly twenty years, in this position, he worked hard to maintain the huge family power, cultivating every child, and said slowly: "If you do it, you will recognize it...... The king has always been suspicious of employing people, and those who suspect will be killed. If someone informes, Yue Jiao is someone he trusts, and he will definitely ask questions, so it is better to tell him calmly...... Yue Jiao is the son of my Ruo Ao clan, the ancestral hall is burned, the ancestors are not allowed to rest in peace, the national law can be tolerated, and the family law is not allowed!"

When the words fell, Ling Yin Zi took a light breath, looked at him, and suddenly smiled, "It's time for someone to sit in this position......

Ling Yin Zi smiled faintly, dipped his finger in the teacup, and then slowly wrote a name on the table.

Cheng Jia's eyes suddenly condensed slightly, "My lord......"

looked at Ling Yin Zi in disbelief.

It seems to be seeking an answer.

Ling Yin Zi smiled but did not answer.

……

After the rain, the sky was clear, the sun was rising in the east, and the golden light was slowly sprinkled on the royal road of the Chu Palace, and someone suddenly exclaimed, alarming the other walking court officials, soap officials, palace people, and everyone raised their heads together.

I saw a beacon smoke rising in the distant sky, and a thick black smoke rose up to the ninth night, silently, and even a few wisps were gently blown away by the breeze, and it was submerged in the sky that was not completely bright, and a layer of black clouds was added to cover all the light.

Thick smoke rose, and in the solemn Nagisa Palace, the bell tower in the distance, the bell rang again.

Nine rings, nine falls.

Very eager.

This is the voice of the official court meeting, and something big must happen, otherwise the city gate guards would not dare to light the beacon.

The urging bell rang throughout the palace, and all the courtiers immediately raised their heads in surprise, first looked in the direction of the bell tower, watched the golden bell rise to the rising sun, and then quickly gathered their eyes to the private room next to the courtier's hall.

Except for the last Northern Expedition and the recent case of displaced people, the bell of Nagisa Palace has rarely rang nine times.

What happened at this time?

There were even people who lit beacons.

Cheng Jia looked at the smoke rising outside the window, and his sword eyebrows gathered into Cheng Chuan, wondering if it was released by Mi Huang?

But in his heart.

This possibility was immediately dismissed.

With a shout, Zhao Changzhi rushed in and asked, "Lord Yin, the king is furious, and asks who will light the beacon tower if there is no war." ”

At this time, the bell of the entire Zhu Palace was shocked, but it did not make the face of Ling Yin, who had been in power all his life, change in the slightest, nor was he moved because the person who came was the first permanent attendant by the side of the King of Chu......

In his long life, I don't know how many big wars and small battles he has encountered, he was reviewing the note handed over by Cheng Jia, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and then he hooked the pen and approved a vermilion word "quasi", and handed it back to Cheng Jiadao, "I am sure that you have this fold, let's leave immediately! We must ensure that there is no mistake in the military rations of the Northern Expedition, and we must win the first battle of Chu and Jin, this is the biggest thing for my Chu country! If anything happens again, I must not turn back!"

"Yes, Lord Ling Yin!"

Cheng Jia took the excerpt, walked out of Ling Yin's single room, stood on the platform and looked back at the direction of the East Palace, and finally turned around against the flow of people in the upper court, and left the palace first.

"Inform all the courtiers to go to court to discuss the matter. ”

Ling Yin Zi looked at the young man who was walking away in the morning sun, full of vitality, as if he saw his beloved son dressed in the sun, and said with a smile on his eyebrows.

"Yes, Lord Ling Yin. ”

The civil official calmly picked up the song and led the order out of the house, but after he left the house, his face changed suddenly, and the ringing of the bell of the Zhu Palace was enough to prove that there was a sudden crisis, but Lord Yin didn't seem to care much, or he had expected it......

Ling Yin Zi stroked the green beard under his chin, and only said one sentence to Zhao Changshi, "This beacon fire was ordered by this Ling Yin, about what happened last night and last night, let's go, let's go and give the king an explanation." ”

"It's good to make Lord Yin confident, and Zhao De is timid. ”

Zhao Changshou followed him with a timid and uneasy expression, and the two walked along the quiet platform towards the Golden Hall of Zhu Palace.

"Don't worry!"

Ling Yin Zi bowed his head, and walked through the palace of Zhu Palace, Hu Er said, "By the way, I heard last night that the princess was ordered to take care of the little boy, but the princess is still pregnant after all, last night I have passed a message, and Pan Taishi made an appointment to discuss the future upbringing of the little son, so I will bring this matter up today, just discuss it in the court." ”

Another middle-aged civil servant who followed him nodded, "Yes, my lord." ”

Ling Yin Zi waved his hand and walked in front without pausing, "I also mentioned the nomination of Ling Yin's heir, and see if you have any suggestions." ”

Ling Yin is in his prime, and the horse has not returned, how can he mention this?

The civil officials on the left and right followed behind and were stunned.

Finally, he calmly replied, "Yes, sir." ”

Respectfully watching the middle-aged and elegant figure like Ling Yin Zi disappear around the corner unabated, the civil official seemed to see the young Zuo disciple who was now in the north of the Chen Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and the Song Kingdom.

There is a tiger son on the tiger father's side!

The civil official slowly stood up straight with the bamboo slip in his arms, and then walked towards the outside of the palace.

It would not make him feel strange about the calmness and even indifference shown by Lord Ling Yin at this time, because as we all know, Ling Yin, who is a member of the Ruoao clan, is only under the king of Chu, holding the six private armies of Ruoao, and has concluded a "double Ao covenant" with the Chu family for generations, and this generation of children is a person who has been obedient to the court for many years when the king of Chu has been sick and weak, so he has enough qualifications to overlook the major families of Chu and all the courtiers.

But is Ling Yin really so calm?

At this time, for some reason, a trace of doubt and uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart, and he glanced back at the Nagisa Palace Golden Palace, which he had been standing for nearly twenty years, and the wind and clouds in his eyes were floating.

Ruo Ao Yue Jiao is his nephew.

He was born with the appearance of a tiger and a wolf and Ziwen didn't like it, he naturally didn't like it either, he still remembered the night Yue Jiao was born, the lightning flashed and thundered, just like the previous two days, the child's eyes stared at him and the ancestor Ziwen fiercely like a wolf.

There was a shudder in him.

The ancestor said on the spot that he would drown the child, but because of his soft conscience, he did not make the trip.

Later, every time he saw these eyes, he remembered the ruthlessness of the King of Chu who killed the king and killed his father, which was beyond the reach of 10,000 people.

It is said that the eldest brother was the heir of Ling Yin, and the king of Chu found him at the first time, but Ziliang refused to start because of his friendship with the prince, and the king of Chu waited for a long time, and in the end he could only make a move.

Over the years, he has seen a lot of various struggles for power, profit, conspiracy, assassination, forming a party, and running a private business, and he is also planning a palace d'état and a coup d'état...... It should have been strange to a ruthless person like King Chu a long time ago.

After all, there are no men in this world who are willing to be mediocre.

Neither is he.

If he Ao clan, he would not have raised such a mediocre child.

It's just that after that, these eyes, like a wolf, stared at him every day, staring at his sister-in-law.

The pepper grew bigger and bigger, and the hatred in his eyes for him and Yan'er grew bigger and bigger, and he couldn't hide it.

Exactly twenty-six years.

How could he not be displeased?

In his life, he has seen too many political enemies look at him with hatred and forbearance.

How could you miss such a pair of wolf-like eyes.

The ancestral hall was burned, the princess was assassinated, and 50,000 soldiers were stationed for several years......

The events he plotted confirmed the words of the ancestors, so he killed him, even after the dictatorship of Shijun formed a party for personal gain, he would bear the notoriety of a Shi family.

A trace of coldness swept through Yin Zi's deep and calm eyes, in the eyes of the big men of their families, no matter how untamed a son and nephew made waves, they couldn't get rid of this day.

So no matter how earth-shattering.

In the end, it was solved, and it was a small thing.

And this beacon fire is what he wants to tell the king of Chu that when the Chu State was in a big war, the wind and rain were shaking, Yue Jiao was just a vertical son, and the big Chu soldiers were many generals, if he was replaced by Ao's talents, he didn't need to bother with one person, and the king of Chu could still enjoy the world easily like in the past nineteen years.

It's just that what Yin Ziban may not have expected is that on his way to the Golden Palace of Zhu Palace to report to the King of Chu, one person had already knelt in front of the King of Chu with another person.

In the silent Golden Hall of Zhu Palace, the door is locked, and the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army inside is pressing the blade on his waist one by one, and between the slight movements of his body, the cold armor on his body touches each other, making a cold bronze sound, and there is a person kneeling on the Qingyun Road paved with bluestone bricks in the main hall.

If the phoenix is here.

She'll be the first to recognize him.

Li Chi, no, he should be called at this time: Gongzi position.

In the golden hall of Nuoda, there was a strange storm suppressed, and the king of Chu, who was sitting on the ninth-level jade steps, was furious, pointing at the people below the steps who were eager to eat his flesh and swallow his bones, and laughed wildly, "Haha...... After the death of my good father, did you ever think that one day, if you fled to the Nanban, you would still be found by this widow!"

"He wants to pass on the throne to you, and firmly believes that only you can lead my Chu Kingdom to the north. ”

But now he can see in the sky that the king's army has swung north, pointing at the Jin Kingdom, and a great victory over the Jin army is just around the corner. ”

"Haha...... After all, history will only remember that this king is the master of destiny. ”

Li Chi was locked behind his back with his hands, a pair of pipa bones were pierced with iron chains, stained with blood, not human-shaped, and two powerful tiger ben forbidden troops escorted him, and his face was bruised and swollen, and his jaw was dislocated.

In the face of every word that the king of Chu said, there was no way to refute it.

He didn't expect that after he and Cheng Xian'er returned to the south, what was waiting for them was the rebellion of the Nanban tribe, and someone betrayed him and escorted him back to Beijing.

And he didn't accept it, what awaited him was the death of Cheng Xian'er.

So what else is there to say now?

Either Caesar or nothing.
