The Lantern Festival was supposed to be a time for everyone to gather, but Princess Lin'an's family was not idle, and they were busy for several days. The reason for this is only because Jinxiu is missing, Feng Linyuan has failed to find it, and the messenger has never appeared. Everyone was in a hurry, and in desperation, Feng Linyuan had to order everyone to search around, in fact, he also knew in his heart that he might not be able to find it, but as long as there was a one-in-10,000 chance, everyone was unwilling to give up hope.

Feng Linyuan was worried, but he had no choice but to go out to look for it every day, but such an aimless search was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He almost turned the city upside down, but unfortunately he could not find anyone until the early morning of February 8.

Legend has it that February 8 is the birthday of the Sixth Zen Master, and it is also the first moment of the beginning of the Enlightenment School. The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng founded the Epiphany School with his peerless wisdom, and since then the monks of the world have entered a new world. But there are always exceptions to everything, and the old monk, one of the six great masters, is one of the special cases, and his martial arts belong to the gradual cultivation school advocated by the Bodhidharma patriarch, but Buddhism is the epiphany school adhering to the six ancestors, which can be regarded as two schools of simultaneous cultivation.

The weather was not good on this day, and the morning sun did not appear, although it was already spring, it should have been warm and cold, but there was a hot and dry breath flowing around, and there was no continuous drizzle in the rainy season, only the endless wind blowing, as if it was filtering and sweeping the ground one by one. The black clouds on the edge of the sky pressed down on the city, and there was no trace of the day, and half of the sky was gone, as if a violent storm was coming.

Early in the morning, the Ming court began a day of early court, with the great eunuch shouted: "Hundreds of officials have something to play, nothing to retreat!" Hundred officials first met Zhu Yuanzhang outside the Fengtian Gate, and then followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the Fengtian Palace, and began to officially go to the court. Yuan Sheng as the general of the inner house, naturally with him, when it was from the day of the "opening of the seal", it has been half a month, all important things have been dealt with, obviously there is nothing important today, it is estimated that everyone can go back to the house early to rest, Lan Yu as the general of the dynasty, the official worship Liang Guogong, naturally standing in the forefront, it is also fine, he is reminiscing in his heart about the days of reunion with his family during the New Year.

A person suddenly came out of the ranks, holding a tooth card, and respectfully asked: "The commander of the minister Jinyi Wei has something to do with Jiang Xuan!" Seeing that his face was serious and full of righteousness, he thought that it was a major matter to ask for the people's life. Seeing that he was wearing a bullfighting suit and an official uniform, he was extremely favored. It's no wonder that after Hu Weiyong's case, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to comfort his daughter and the hearts of the world, actually pushed Mao Xiang out to be a substitute for the dead. In this way, Jiang Xuan, as the deputy commander, was naturally appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and since then he has been rising steadily.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the emperor's throne, looking at his cold face, his wrinkled face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were slightly red, I don't know if he was overworked or didn't rest well. I saw him nod and said slowly, "What's going on in Jiang Qing's family?" Jiang Yu glanced at Lan Yu, who was distracted on the other side, and suddenly smiled gloomily. He fell to his knees suddenly, and cried bitterly with tears and snot and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the minister got the news yesterday and found that the Duke of Liangguo was plotting a rebellion with others, how to deal with it, and ask the emperor to decide!" Seeing him change his face as if he was a trick, it was really a little incredible.

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and they all exchanged heads and talked about it. You must know that although Lan Yu is quite arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, she will not collide with her own children and in-laws. When Jiang Xuan said this, he either had conclusive evidence or he was killing himself. But he has been in officialdom for several years, especially following Zhu Yuanzhang to do things, and he is also well-versed in flexibility.

Lan Yu was in a trance, and when he heard this, he was suddenly frightened. You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang treats officials very harshly, once he is involved in rebellion, even his children and in-laws will not be spared. Lan Yu hurriedly knelt down and shouted in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank like water, nodded slowly, and said to him: "This matter is very important, I will definitely investigate it in detail, so don't worry about it." However, since it is a matter of the country, I would like to ask you to go home and rest for a few days, and I will definitely give you an explanation when I find out what happened. As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lan Yu to speak, he looked out of the door and said in a loud voice: "Song Zhong, you send Taifu back to the house!"

I saw a soap-clothed guard outside the hall walking in quickly, obviously he had heard Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, and immediately replied: "Obey Your Majesty's imperial order!" He turned to one side, stretched out his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Taifu please!" Lan Yu knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless and vicious, since it was so arranged, it was to ask this Song Zhong to take care of it nearby, so he would definitely be unlucky, he immediately cleaned up his mood, secretly calculated in his heart, and silently turned around and walked out of the door.

Zhu Yunwen, as the crown prince, is also Lan Yu's grandson. He remembered that his father and Lan Yu had always been good friends, and he was busy persuading him: "Grandpa Huang, Taifu has always been loyal to our Ming Dynasty, how can there be a conspiracy intention, please find out!"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned angry, and he scolded: "Yun Wei, as the crown prince, you will have to deal with all kinds of affairs in the future, how can you be so flustered when you encounter something now, and besides, such things will be handled by the imperial grandfather, and you can just watch and study on the sidelines!" As soon as he finished speaking, he said to Jiang Xuan: "Commander Jiang, what evidence do you have, don't submit it quickly." "It's really chilling to see him so anxious.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly got up, took out something from his arms, and offered it with both hands, but everyone looked up and saw that it was a jade pendant. I saw him turn around and say to a person: "Master Hou, do you know this jade pendant?" The man was obviously stunned, he never thought that this matter would involve him. But this jade pendant is indeed his personal belongings, he had to nod slightly, but he didn't know how this jade pendant could get into Jiang Xuan's hands.

"The night before yesterday, Weichen's subordinate Tiqi detected the news, saying that Taifu and Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen had a private meeting in the mansion, and plotted to launch a mutiny when the emperor went out to hold the "home field" ceremony, and this jade pendant was the personal jade pendant of Jingchuan Marquis. At that time, Weichen's subordinates did their best to grab this jade pendant, which was regarded as retaining a piece of incriminating evidence. Jiang Xuan's words were like beads, and he said the truth of the matter in a few words.

When Cao Zhen heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged, the old minister of the jade pendant has been lost a few days ago, as for how it will get into the hands of Commander Jiang, the old minister really doesn't know." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything when he heard this, but sighed softly: "Alas! I think there were so many Pao Ze brothers who started the incident with me back then! Why do you always come to make things difficult for me today?" The more careless he said, the more frightened Cao Zhen felt in his heart.

The Chen family's father and son only Chen Chen is in the palace, although he is a squire in the military department and has a five-grade official position, he rarely has the time to speak, especially when Zhu Yuanzhang is angry. Although Chen Liang is the teacher of the grandson, he is the prime minister of Buyi, and he does not serve in the court, so he is not above the court.

At this moment, everyone was silent, all afraid that Jiang Zhen would suddenly identify him indiscriminately, and if he was sent to prison at that time, he was afraid that the destruction of the family and the annihilation of the clan would also be within a snap of his fingers. For a while, I only heard Cao Zhen's kowtow like pounding garlic, and saw that his forehead was red and swollen, and he was still slamming violently, and he was extremely scared when he thought about it. Zhu Yunwen was on the side, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would burst into thunderous anger.

Just when everyone was helpless, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that there were water droplets on the top of his head, and he felt a little wet. There are many masters in the hall, especially Chen Chen and Yuan Sheng, both of whom have profound martial arts and are extremely keen to observe the surroundings, and this drop of water naturally did not escape their eyes.

But the majesty of the Son of Heaven has always been intolerant of blasphemy, and naturally no one is allowed to look directly at the holy face at will. So everyone could only secretly cast a trace of afterglow, Chen Chen and Yuan Sheng squinted, and the water droplets were still falling, like pearls with broken threads, which seemed to fall from the top of the Fengtian Palace. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Fengtian Temple would be overhauled every year, and there would never be such an anomaly, especially at this moment, although the weather was abnormal, but it was not raining, he looked up and found that the water droplets were dripping from the beam.

The top of the Fengtian Temple is about fourteen or fifteen zhang above the ground, and ordinary people can't see the situation above. Although Chen Chen was among the crowd, his martial arts were profound, his eyesight was excellent, and he looked far away, and found that Liang Shang showed a cyan corner on the side of everyone.

Yuansheng naturally found out, he looked at the corners of the clothes exposed on the beams, frowned for a while, and thought hard about the corners of the clothes. A strong smell of wine came, Zhu Yuanzhang smelled the wine, and naturally knew that someone on the beam was deliberately making trouble, he slapped the dragon chair and shouted: "Who is hiding on the beam, dare to be so presumptuous!" He turned to Yuan Sheng and said, "Quickly drive him down!"

Yuan Sheng looked at the beam, a little chill in his heart, the beam of the main hall was too high from the ground, this person could touch it without being discovered, it was enough to see his ability, Yuan Sheng asked himself if he could do this.

Yuan Sheng bowed his body and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this person is not good, please move Luan for a while, and then ask you to come out when the slaves are properly handled!" Zhu Yuanzhang flicked his sleeves and shouted: "Presumptuous! I started at the end of Wei, after decades of vicissitudes and hundreds of battles, I have never been afraid of anyone." He pushed Yuan Sheng away and shouted, "Come on, shoot down this chaotic thief!"

For a while, I saw hundreds of royal forest soldiers rushing in from outside the hall, all of them were strong and burly, carrying strong bows and crossbows, and their arrows and armor were distinct, and they seemed to be fierce generals who could fight well. In this situation, it seems that the people on the beam are in danger!

A general stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Chenlang Xifeng is here to escort you." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Take down the people on the beam!" Lang Xifeng clenched his fists and replied: "Yes!" He raised his head together, saw that the beam was very high from the ground, and couldn't help but think for a while: "If you let your subordinates shoot arrows to force him down, I am afraid that if you are a little careless, the arrow will fall and hit the emperor." Looks like I'm going to have to do it myself!"

As soon as he thought of this, he had to bend his bow and arrow, and when he saw him calibrate it slightly, he shot it at the beam. Hearing only a soft sound, the arrow castrated extremely fast, like a flash of lightning and flint, thinking that the power is extraordinary, if this arrow hits an ordinary person, it is bound to kill immediately.

But the man hid behind the beam, only the corners of his clothes were exposed, and he could not shoot at all, and the arrow went very fast, but with its strength, it was still unable to penetrate the beam, and the arrow could only return in vain.

It's a good Lang Xifeng, when this arrow reached three feet away from the beam, it suddenly began to deflect, and it actually bypassed the beam pillar and shot straight at the person behind the beam. It turns out that this arrow is Lang Xifeng's family heirloom stunt - the Absolute Shadow Arc Arrow, which turns its strength into Ruyi, and specializes in breaking protective gear such as shields, which can be regarded as a guarantee for battlefield killing.

The arrow disappeared after reaching the beam. Alas, the crowd saw that their necks were sore, but they still did not move, nor did they hear the screams, and the arrow disappeared as if it had sunk into the sea.

Just when everyone was bored, suddenly a sharp sound came, and the arrow flew out again. This is not counted, what is even more strange is that the arrow actually returned along the original road and shot straight towards Langxi wind.

Lang Xifeng was not afraid of danger, he saw the arrow flying back, and hurriedly turned sideways, seeing that his eyesight was accurate and agile, the longbow was twisted at the end of the arrow, and the arrow was re-twisted into the longbow, and it was shot again.

I saw that the arrows went up to the beam, and they turned into three, and turned into three branches, and the three arrows were shot in a zigzag shape, but they were all his life skills, and everyone was amazed for a while.

It turned out that at the moment of the fight just now, after Lang Xifeng shot an arrow, he shot two more arrows almost at the same time, and the last two arrows were actually the last to come first, so they looked like one arrow at first.

It seems that it is no accident that Lang Xi Fengneng served as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, over the years, he and Yuansheng have been bright and dark, and I don't know how many martial arts masters who came to take revenge for Zhu Yuanzhang. Based on this alone, it can be guessed that his skills are by no means comparable to ordinary martial arts masters.

But he said that the three arrows almost did not stop when they reached the beam, but flashed around the beam and shot down again, as if someone was joking with him on it.

Lang Xifeng held the bow in his left hand, waved his right hand continuously, and his five fingers were like orchids blooming, and the three sounds of "swish" sounded, like the moon in the sea, and the arrow was picked up, and then the body rotated with the arrow, and the left hand was connected with the longbow, and the action was done in one go, and the action was chic and extraordinary. As soon as this skill came out, everyone applauded. Lang Xifeng himself was shocked, and then sweated like rain, standing still, like a wood carving clay sculpture.

"Bang!" Everyone only heard two soft sounds, and the longbow bowstring suddenly broke, as if it was pulled too tightly to withstand the force, but the second sound was that the floor in the hall suddenly exploded, as if it was penetrated by lead pellets, and for a while stone chips flew one after another, and stone chips overflowed everywhere like small hidden weapons. It turned out that Lang Xifeng was in the field by himself, but he was like a person drinking water, and he knew his own warmth and coldness. When the three arrows came back, there was only one heavy strength, which was clearly his own, so he could catch it. When he came down again, it seemed that his strength had failed, and there was nothing to fear. But when he pulled his bow and twisted the string, a second force suddenly came from the arrow, and this force was fierce and domineering, penetrating his meridians directly, causing his meridians to vibrate, as if he had been hit by a heavy slap in the chest. Or the strength passed through the arrows, emitting invisible energy, not only cutting the longbow bowstring, but Yu Wei even shot through the floor.

Chen Chen and Yuan Sheng saw that the floor suddenly exploded, and hurriedly jumped out, both of them with both palms together, drawing an arc, blocking all the stone chips outside, trying not to hurt everyone.

As soon as Chen Chen resolved the crisis, he immediately accepted the recruitment, and saw that he was not standing at will, as if he was standing at will, but he was standing directly under the beams. In this way, unless the person on the beam flies towards the sky, he will never be able to escape from his palm. Chen Chen bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, then raised his head and said, "Since Mr. is here, how about coming down to gather, isn't it possible that you, as the lord of Guiwang City, are you still afraid of seeing people?"

As soon as Yuan Sheng heard this, he suddenly trembled, seeing that his face was pale, like frost, and his five fingers inadvertently exerted a little force, and the dust handle suddenly made a soft sound, which had been pinched by him, and it seemed that he was also frightened in his heart.

The crowd was listening inexplicably, when suddenly a jar of wine flew down from the beam, and the jar swirled and swirled endlessly. Or the fall is extremely slow, like a feather slowly falling, this is not counted, the wine jar is very strange, it is far away and then near, straight to the top of Chen Chen's head, you must know that Chen Chen is under the beam, blocked by the beam, I don't see his person at all This person can throw the wine jar into his hands, which shows the subtlety of his technique.

When Chen Chen saw the wine altar coming, he didn't panic, just stretched out his right hand, palmed it to the sky, and held the bottom of the altar. When the jar reached his hand, it had no strength, as if someone had gently lowered it. A voice suddenly came from Liang Shang and said: "Chen Shilang is worthy of being the son of a "Confucian Immortal", his courage and martial arts are extraordinary, but he is not much stronger than this palace of civil servants and military generals!"

Chen Chen lifted the wine jar, took a sip, and then laughed loudly: "It is an honor for Chen to be praised by Mr. Feng!" If Mr. Feng doesn't mind, would you like to come down and talk about it?" Feng Linyuan poked his head out of the beam, smiled at the people below, and said loudly: "It's okay! You can see what the emperor's throne looks like that makes the world so popular!"

He said this extremely rudely, but everyone was so frightened that he was so elusive that they dared not speak in anger, so they had to look at him blankly. It was also at this time that everyone found out that Feng Linyuan was sitting against the pillar, seeing that his right leg was straight, his left leg was half-bent, and his left hand was still holding a wine jar.

Seeing that he didn't get up, he just leaned out of the beam, and his body had already fallen down. When the crowd saw him fall straight down, they couldn't help but be very worried, and some people secretly rejoiced in their hearts, happy that this rebellious man was about to fall to his death.

At that time, it was early in the morning, and the dark clouds outside the hall were thick, as if the heavens were angry, and the thunderclouds in the sky were rolling, but they did not fall, which made people feel extremely depressed in their hearts. A gust of wind blew, and it actually blew Feng Linyuan's body over, staggering and falling like a fallen leaf.

Watch his figure churn and land lightly on a pillar five feet in front of the throne. The left hand held the bottom of the wine jar, the right foot was on the tip of the pillar, standing facing north, the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, and a smile on his handsome face seemed to be nothing, staring deeply at the old man in front of the throne but not speaking.

Chen Chen carried the wine jar and said to him: "Mr. came to the palace so early in the morning, but is there something wrong?" Feng Linyuan tilted his head slightly, and said indifferently: "If you have nothing to do, you will come to the palace to take a stroll, I think you won't mind, right?"

This is very arrogant, this place is a forbidden place in the palace, how can others be allowed to enter and leave at will, not to mention that the wind is dripping wine on the top of Zhu Yuanzhang's head, so violating the holy face naturally cannot be tolerated by everyone.

Although the two met for the first time, they were already on the same page, and they did not allow each other to exist in the world for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang was eager to obtain the Qilin treasure map to enrich the treasury. Feng Linyuan is thinking about the common people in the world, and he doesn't want more people to die in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Hmph! Feng Linyuan, you provoked Yu me three or four times! It was already enough to kill you dozens of times, if it weren't for Qi'er's face, I would have pushed you out to show the public!" Feng Linyuan's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled indifferently: "Zhu Hongwu, do you think these people under your command can kill me?"

This is said in a domineering manner, which should not be underestimated, but it is shocking. I was not only surprised by his calm bearing, but also surprised that he was not afraid of the emperor's authority.

Yuan Sheng hurriedly took two steps forward, and regardless of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, he immediately pulled Zhu Yuanzhang and protected him behind him. It turned out that although he saw that Feng Linyuan had a smile on his face, the murderous aura in his eyes was full of murder, and Yuan Sheng was afraid that he would be a little unsatisfactory, so he would kill people at every turn.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that he was profound, and a few years ago, Feng Linyuan risked his life to save the descendants of the Li family, and the heroes of the world pursued him in vain. What's more, there are only a group of civil ministers and military generals in the palace today, and they can't compete with him at all, and when he thought of this, he also fell silent.

When Chen Chen heard this, he immediately took two steps forward and laughed loudly: "Mr. Feng is inevitably a little overconfident, right? For decades, the world's heroes have risen together, and there have been many heroes, how can you cover it alone?" Feng Linyuan ignored him, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang fixedly, and said slowly: "I heard that Lan Yu rebelled, what are your plans?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how he would ask about this, you must know that Lan Yu and Feng Linyuan have always had flaws, and Feng Linyuan appeared at this moment, naturally because he came to fall into the well!

I didn't think that Feng Linyuan didn't wait for him to answer, but said to myself: "The reason why a person can become an emperor is because he has the support of everyone, and the reason why this Fengtian Temple can stand is because there are many pillars to support it, but today you want to cut off this last giant pillar, don't you think it's a pity?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, his eyes were rolling, and he thought that his thoughts were confused. He was not only shocked by Feng Linyuan's words just now, recalled that over the years, many pillars of talent had died at his own hands, and also remembered that the empire he envisioned for Taisun could not be guarded without close generals, and his heart was filled with regret and contradictions.

He looked back at Zhu Yunwen, only to see that his immature face was full of worry, and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang quite anxiously, obviously with infinite worries in his heart. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him silently, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Yun Wei is so young, he will definitely not be able to carry the burden of this country, and the important ministers of these countries will not take him seriously, once I go west, how can his uncles obey his dispatch." Alas, in that case, it is up to me to be the "butcher" of the world's reviled people!
