Chapter Eighty-Eight: The January Covenant

Since ancient times, the imperial power is a deception, that is, the art of thick black, it is ridiculous to say, the emperor from ancient times to the present, whether virtuous or foolish may not be much learned, but this thick black science is extremely proficient, and they are all deceived from their parents and relatives, and they deceive hundreds of officials and ordinary people, especially all kinds of power and profit are not uncommon, so Liu Ziluan, who was only ten years old at the time, said: I hope that the next life will not be born in the emperor's house!

Everyone in the world admires brotherly love, but it often backfires, especially in the emperor's family, where brothers turn against each other, and it is normal for father and son to become enemies, which is the case in today's world, and it is more difficult to get rid of than ordinary people.

However, it was said that martial law had been imposed in Nanjing City recently, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to enter and leave at will, and it seemed that it was because King Yan's army was effective on the battlefield and won successive victories, which made Zhu Yunwen scared. According to the news from the front, the king of Yan led the army to spare Shandong a few days ago, and went directly south, and the battle of Qimei Mountain severely defeated the imperial army. Zhu Yunwen was afraid that there would be spies involved, so he ordered martial law in the whole city, and Chen Liang ordered "Jie" to organize everyone to return to Nanjing to prevent King Yan from raiding.

However, it is strange to say that Zhu Yunwen is kind-hearted, but he wholeheartedly imitates Zhu Yuanzhang, because Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk in his early years, so the children of Buddhism are suppressed whether they walk the rivers and lakes or make a fortune in the city.

Yisu was born in Buddhism, and he naturally knew about it after walking the rivers and lakes for many years, but he had no choice but to settle in a temple on the outskirts of the city, and only sneaked into the city at night. How can ordinary guards find his traces, even the street patrol sergeant can only see a puff of light smoke drifting by.

Yisu arrived early in the morning, and there was no useful news everywhere, until he finally met a husband who was having breakfast, and he happened to hear that someone secretly brought back a woman yesterday, and now she is locked up in the Criminal Department.

After several turnovers, I came to the Criminal Department, but I saw that the Criminal Department covers a vast area, including the case file room, the main hall, the interrogation room, the rest room, the torture room, and the edict prison...... There are many houses and it is difficult to search, although they are not guarded step by step, but they still patrol back and forth, which shows that the guards are strict, and it is extremely difficult to find someone quietly. It is also for this reason that Yisu searched the Criminal Department for nearly an hour, searched all corners, and still found nothing.

It was nearly midnight, and Yisu came to the main hall again, but after wanting to find out, he left. But who would have thought that before he got closer, he heard someone talking in the hall, and one of them asked: "Qingli, I heard that Brother Ling has returned from a trip, but I don't know if it's true?" Qingli replied: "Thank you Lord Shangshu for your concern, my brother has returned a few days ago, but as soon as he came back, he was already in retreat, saying that he wanted to devote himself to studying swordsmanship." ”

The Master Shangshu exclaimed: "Brother Ling's martial arts still have to be retreated, really diligent!" Qingli said: "Brother often said that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, and you can't stop moving, Qingli can only barely follow the footsteps of adults after being taught by him." Shang Shu was very happy when he heard this, and said: "Qingli! The old man and your father have been old friends for decades, and there are no outsiders here, so I will take care of it, you can call me uncle, you don't have to always call the official title, it seems too raw." ”

It turned out that the person who spoke in the hall was Xue Qingbi's younger brother Xue Qingli, Feng Linyuan had a relationship with him back then, and he never thought that he was still an official in the court, but the other person was the criminal department Shangshu Tyrant Zhao, this Tyrant Zhao is an old minister of the two dynasties, strong and upright by nature, and quite famous in the court, but he turned out to have an old relationship with the Xue family!

Xue Qingli bowed and said with a smile: "Such a little nephew is abrupt. Tyrant Zhao was very kind to people, and said with a smile: "What did the virtuous nephew say?" There was a little embarrassment in the audience for a while, Xue Qingli didn't seem to be used to getting along with the elders, so he had to ask directly: "I heard that Brother Tie was recalled to Beijing this time, and he also brought back a woman, but is there such a thing?" It turned out that there was another person in the hall, and the person looked serious, nodded and said: "Yes, I did bring back a woman, this woman is entrusted by Chen Lang, I have been an official in the same dynasty with him for many years, so I agreed to him, why? Brother Xian knew her?" Xue Qingli's face turned blue when he heard this, and he shook his head after a while: " Qingli is blessed, and I don't have the opportunity to meet beautiful women, but how can you ......" Storm Zhao frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Alas!" Xue Qingli sighed: "I know that Chen Langzhong has always acted carefully, but this thing is not right. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Do you know what the name of the woman you brought back?" The two in the hall glanced at each other, and felt faintly bad in their hearts, so they asked: "The virtuous nephew has something to say!" Xue Qingli said helplessly: "Qingli got the news earlier, knowing that you failed in the crusade, and the battle of Qimeishan suffered heavy losses, and the emperor suddenly recalled you, although it was not to be punished, but it was inevitable to be reprimanded, but suddenly I heard that you actually arrested Cui Xuan, but it scared me a lot. ”

"Cui, Cui?" the man muttered to himself, repeating the name, "as if I had heard it somewhere." Xue Qingli smiled bitterly: "She is the daughter of the old city lord of Happy City, Brother Tie should have heard of it, right?"

The man suddenly woke up and shouted, "Oh! It's her!" The man sighed: "A few days ago, we discussed who we wanted to find to borrow soldiers?" The man sighed and said, "A few days ago, we discussed who we wanted to borrow troops from?"

"Oh, it turns out that you already have a plan, do you want to use the power of Happy City to attack back and forth?" Xue Qingli suddenly realized, he saw that Storm Zhao was full of anger, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, please calm your anger, let's ......"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a gust of wind blew, and a man stood in front of the door, staring straight at the three of them. Xue Qingli heard the loud noise, and suddenly looked back, but it was a little monk standing in front of the door, and all the guards were gone, and he couldn't help but shout: "Where did the little monk come from, so bold, he dared to eavesdrop on us discussing military affairs." Yisu stared at the three of them tightly, seeing that his chest was rising and falling, but he slowly suppressed his anger and asked, "What about people?"

This is the lobby of the criminal department, Yisu openly came here to ask for someone, as the master, he naturally had to come forward, only to see him get up and ask: "Little monk, who are you looking for here in the middle of the night?" Yisu raised his eyebrows sharply, and shouted: "Who else, where is my mother?" Xue Qingli was the first to wake up when he heard this, and asked: "Cui Yu is your mother?" Yisu looked at him, nodded and said: "Hand over my mother, otherwise ......" Storm Zhao heard his threatening words, frowned and said: "Little monk, as a monk, how can you be so irregular?" Where's your family?"

Yisu looked impatient and said in disgust: "You ...... Do you want to die?" The man surnamed Tie stepped forward, bowed his hand to Yisu, and said, "Little Master, forgive me, since Cui Yu was entrusted to us by Chen Langzhong, it naturally can't be handed over to you easily." Yisu looked him up and down for a while, and saw that he was dressed in a Confucian shirt, his face was handsome, but he was not young, and he remembered that the three of them had just talked, knowing that his surname was Tie, his heart suddenly moved, and asked, "Are you Tie Xuan?"

Tie Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it is Tie Mou, dare to ask the little master's surname, which treasure temple to practice?" Yisu didn't reply to him, but hummed: "I heard that in the past two years, you have refused King Yan in Shandong several times, causing King Yan to lose his troops and generals, it seems that you have some ability." ”

"Hahahaha!" Tie Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard the praise: "Thank you for the praise! Although you are only a shallow learner, it is far from the wind in the abyss back then, ashamed! ”

"Hmph!" Tie Xuanman said: "Feng Linyuan was conceited and talented back then, and he actually resisted the holy orders many times and disobeyed them, Tie Mou's martial arts knowledge is not worse than him, but he will not be like him. Yisu chuckled lightly when he heard this, and only after a long time did he say: "In this way, you are much stronger than those rotten Confucians in the court." ”

It turns out that Tie Xuan was born in Mobei, smart and wise since he was a child, and he is the old Mongolian department, but he is in Jinan, Shandong Province all the year round, accompanied by Confucianism, and admires the learning of sages and sages. Feng Linyuan was also a scholar back then, but later defected to the Central Plains for various reasons, and lived in the desert, Tie Xuan has always regarded himself as Confucian orthodoxy, and regarded Feng Linyuan's defection as a deviant move, and he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, so he mentioned Feng Linyuan many times, but a drop of water appeared in the rivers and lakes, and Tie Xuan didn't know the relationship between a drop in and Feng Linyuan, so he made a joke.

But Tie Xuan saw Yisu's contemptuous expression, and said angrily in his heart: "Little monk, ...... you" Yisu snorted coldly, waved his hand, and said: "It seems that you don't need to be strong, you won't be soft?" Tie Xuan saw that he was young, but his words were hard, although he didn't like it in his heart, but he didn't want to show it too much, and he thought about how to teach him a lesson. ”

Yisu said coldly: "Isn't my family in your hands!" Storm Zhao listened to his sarcastic words, and didn't take him, the master's family, seriously, and was furious for a while, just when Storm Zhao was about to attack, Xue Qingli grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Uncle and slow, although this person is young, but he can't be underestimated, just the three of us didn't notice it in the hall, which is evident." ”

Tie Xuan was very close to the two of them, so he naturally heard it, but he was not a person who easily admitted defeat, only to see that he slapped his palm with a palm. Yisu had a unique vision, seeing that Tie Xuan's iron palm had arrived in front of him, but his body was slightly sideways, avoiding the palm, and the palm of his right hand was gently raised to the sky, just slapped on Tie Xuan's wrist, Tie Xuan was in pain, and felt as if he had been slammed with a blunt object, and hurriedly retracted his hand.

I didn't expect a drop of quick reaction, and his body followed him like a shadow, and his right hand seemed to be glued to his wrist, following him. Tie Hyun flicked his wrist, but kicked his left foot at the table where he was sitting on the left. Yisu smiled coldly, and suddenly dived into the magic skill, Tie Xuan only felt that his wrist was in pain, cold sweat was pouring down his forehead, and Yisu's eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that Tie Xuan's kick was kicked on the hilt of the long sword on the table, Xue Qingli knew that Tie Xuan had resisted King Yan many times back then, and his martial arts were much higher than those of ordinary Jianghu masters, so it could be seen that he was now controlled by others with one move, and he was surprised in his heart.

Xue Qingli saw that things were bright, seeing that the sword was in front of him, he hurriedly flew up and grabbed the hilt of the sword, and the long sword stabbed straight at a drop of throat.

Seeing that the long sword had reached the throat, the two fingers in the middle of the food continuously hit the long sword, Xue Qingli suddenly felt a huge force coming, and the long sword in his hand rippled as if it had been slammed by a hammer. Tie Xuan just took a step back, hurriedly swept his legs, and his body spun, and his palms gathered all his strength and slapped over. Yisu saw Xue Qingli retreat, stomped lightly, and the person had jumped up a foot high, and when Tie Xuan's palms came, he had already dodged the palms and fell lightly.

Tie Xuan's palms were slapped, it was known that it was not good, it turned out that this palm did not hit a drop, but shot empty, just when he wanted to retreat, his shoulders suddenly sank, and he couldn't move again. It turned out that a drop of body was almost extinct, how Tie Xuan was his opponent, but when he fell, it just fell on Tie Xuan's shoulder, so far Tie Xuan could be regarded as seeing a drop of martial arts, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move again.

"Amitabha!" Yisu proclaimed the Buddha's name and asked, "What now?" Although Tie Xuan couldn't move, he still refused to admit defeat and said, "If you kill me, I won't hand people over to you." Yisu snorted coldly, his feet suddenly exerted, Tie Xuan's body shook, his legs suddenly felt sore, and he wanted to kneel down, Xue Qingli saw this, and stabbed a sword straight at Yisu's waist and abdomen, but Yisu ignored it, only poured his strength into his feet, and Tie Xuan gritted his teeth and was only struggling to support.

Xue Qingli saw that he didn't dodge or dodge, and he felt a burst of joy in his heart, but he felt that it was like stabbing on the golden stone, and he couldn't stab it anymore. Xue Qingli looked up in surprise, but saw a cold smile, and said with a smile: "What? If you don't think it's enough, it doesn't hurt to let you stab ten swords and eight swords." Xue Qingli heard him laugh and said angrily: "You ......" Yisu's eyes were cold, and he stomped his foot violently, Tie Xuan snorted in pain, he couldn't support it anymore, and his right leg was already on his knees.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew from the corner behind the door, and seeing his coherent palms, he slapped five or six palms in a row in the blink of an eye, and his palms hit a drop in the back. After a burst of noise like fried beans, I saw that Yisu's body finally shook slightly, her body spun and jumped, and she stood upright on the small table where she sat in front of Tyrant Zhaoxiao.

Yisu coughed lightly, looked down at the person, and chuckled: "Who am I? It turned out to be Mr. Yan, I haven't seen you for a few days, and Mr. Yan's ability to sneak around is so powerful that I didn't even notice that you were also in the house!"

The person who made the move was Yan Ning, and I saw Yan Ning arch his hand and said: "If you offend, please don't care about it." Yisu snorted coldly: "The monk has always had a small temperament, how can he not care?" Yan Ning knew that he was open-minded by nature, and such words were just deliberately embarrassing himself, so he shook his head slightly for a while, and sighed: "It's a pity that this is a pity, I still want to have a personal favor with you, hey! It seems that it won't work!" Yan Ning saw that his face was not good, and said: "Look at my memory, I forgot to tell you something, I have been watching your mother for the past few days!"

Yisu's eyes shrank suddenly, and he suppressed his breath for a while, and said hatefully: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Yan Ning smiled and said: "Go back and tell your father, in mid-June, the decisive battle in the Imperial City, before that, no one is allowed to act rashly, otherwise don't blame Yan's subordinates for being ruthless!"

"Mr. Yan, you haven't gone to my father's eight-year appointment, but you want him to come to your appointment today?" Yisu said coldly.

Yan Ning said with a smile: "The eight-year appointment still counts, but it was changed to Nanjing, what's the matter? ”

Yisu was stunned when he heard this, then waved his sleeves, and said angrily, "Okay, I'll make this appointment for my father, but I have two things to know." Yan Ning sighed and asked, "What's the matter?" Yisu stretched out two fingers and said, "First, can you represent everyone?" Yan Ning looked left and right, he saw that everyone nodded, and said loudly: "This matter is a consultation between our mansion master and everyone, so naturally I can." Yisu nodded and said: "The second is that if my mother is injured in the slightest during this period, don't blame us for moving to Nanjing City." ”

When Yan Ning heard him agree, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "What a great spirit, worthy of being the son of the wind god, okay! I promise you that as long as I am here, your mother will not be damaged in the slightest! At noon on June 12, Yan was waiting for everyone to return to the city of Nanjing!"
