A faint candlelight flickered in the air, and a person sat behind his desk, looking at a book in the subtle light and shadow. Suddenly, a person pushed the door in, and the man looked up, but it was a person from the house, only to hear the person ask carefully: "Master, it's almost the third watch, why don't you rest?" The man put down the book in his hand, shook his head and sighed: "Alas! This rebel has caused such trouble, where can I sleep!"

"Master!" the subordinate said again: "The young master just wants to prove himself!" The man snorted: "Then you can't mess around! How many messes I have cleaned up for him over the years! Not to mention anything else, the king of Changsha was ...... back then" He was halfway through his words, suddenly stopped, sighed and waved his hand: "You go to rest by yourself! I will sleep in a while!" The subordinate bowed, then withdrew, and closed the door with his hand.

It turned out that this person was the Confucian Immortal Chen Liang, seeing him sitting on the chair and falling into deep thought, letting the candlelight burn, and when the candle was about to burn out, he raised his head and smiled at the roof, and said: "The night outside the house is cold and foggy, Your Excellency should come down! You have been on the roof for most of the hour! Aren't you tired?"

Chen Liang waited for a while, and saw that there was no movement on the roof, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to pick up a good lake pen on the pen stand, the pen rotated slightly in his hand, and with a flick of his fingers, the brush shot straight to the roof.

I heard a crisp sound, and a piece of green tile made a soft sound, and under the moonlight, a small hole was exposed. If there is a master present, you will be surprised, you need to know that the brush is soft, the green tile is hard and brittle, the brush touches the green tile, if the pen is attached to the real force, the green tile will be torn apart, but Chen Liang's hand comes out, leaving only a small hole, as if carved in general, it can be seen that the real force attached to the pen is soft to tough, partial and fierce and fierce.

Seeing that there was no movement on the roof, Chen Liang couldn't help frowning and pondering, muttering to himself: "Did I hear it wrong?" After a while, a sharp sound suddenly came, and an object flew back quickly, Chen Liang's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then with a flip of his wrist, the true qi of the Northern Darkness responded to the opportunity and caught the thing steadily.

The thing that came back was the brush that had just been shot, and when he came back, the brush had no strength, as if someone had placed it in his hand lightly.

Chen Liang slowly got up and stared at the small hole, and chuckled: "Since Brother Feng is here, let's come down! We haven't seen each other for many years, so we can catch up on the old days." "The scene was very strange for a while, the roof was not moving, and all the places were silent, even if the wind was rising, it could be easily heard.

"Bang!" there was a loud bang, but the door was slammed open. Chen Liang looked at it, but the person who came was a young man, looking very immature, only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a Confucian shirt with a very heroic spirit, giving people a sense of comfort, but his face was full of anger, forming a strong contrast.

Chen Liang looked him up and down for a while, and his heart was already clear, and asked, "Return to dust?"

It turned out that Chen Liang had never seen him, and he thought that it was the wind on the roof, but he didn't want to return to the dust. He thought that Cui Yu was captured by Chen Liang, so he came directly to Chen's mansion and wanted to take Cui Yu away from Chen Liang.

But when Guichen saw that he recognized himself, he didn't deny it, and asked straight to the point: "What about my mother?" Chen Liang saw his angry appearance, knew his intention, and immediately shook his head and said, "Your mother is not here with me!" Guichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?" Chen Liang nodded with a smile and said, "I vouch for my personality!" Although Guichen was angry, he was also amused and laughed out loud, and said: "You still have a personality?" Chen Liang was not angry when he heard this, but said: " Looking at your body and martial arts, you should have obtained your father's true inheritance! I remember that in the past information, you were always powerless, but suddenly you became a top master, which surprised me!"

"Hmph!" Guichen snorted lightly and said angrily: "There is something that surprises you even more!" As soon as his words fell, his figure flickered, and he came straight to Chen Liang, his five fingers were bent like hooks, and one claw grabbed Chen Liang's shoulder, but Chen Liang was not in a hurry, only to see his right hand slowly rise, like an orchid blooming, pointing directly at Guichen's palm.

This time it seems to be slow and fast, Guichen naturally saw it, hurriedly took a half step back, his wrist suddenly lifted up, and when he turned back, he changed his claw into a two-finger sword trick, and the two fingers in the food were like a brush to write in the air.

But at this time, Chen Liang's chest was slightly sunken, and he suddenly stood out, Guichen frowned, only to see that the word "wind" was forced by Chen Liang's strength, and turned back, Guichen slapped it with a fierce palm, Chen Liang slapped it with his backhand, and the palm power of the two people just connected, and the two powers exploded violently like a whirlpool, but they saw that the things in the study were stimulated by the strength of the two, and they were both forced out of the house.

Chen Liang nodded with a smile and said: "It is worthy of the true inheritance of Brother Feng, and the strength is not much better than Brother Feng!" Guichen snorted coldly when he heard this, and the true qi of Taixu was activated, Chen Liang only felt that the opponent's palm power suddenly became heavier, and a force was like a giant tree hitting a bell, slapping straight to his chest, making people feel dull unconsciously;

"There are assassins!" Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the house, but it was the guards of the Chen Mansion who heard the noise and rushed over. Guichen pinched a sword trick in his left hand, stabbed Chen Liang's throat with two fingers in the middle of the meal, and a sword qi shot out, Chen Liang did not let go of his right hand when he saw this change, and his left hand was a knife, and he slashed straight over, and the two forces met in mid-air, and there was a sound of explosion, and the two were stimulated by the force, and their right hands were immediately separated.

When the guard came, Guichen stared at Chen Liang's eyes slightly, and slapped his head to the door without looking back. Guichen spun around, slapped out with both palms, Chen Liang didn't dare to be careless, picked up the desk in front of him with one palm, and slammed straight into Guichen's palm.

Guichen knew that if he didn't leave at this moment, he would be afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave after a while! The desk was hit by the strength of the two people, and suddenly exploded, Guichen was stunned, and the person had stood upright, and suddenly rose more than two feet high, and rushed straight to the roof, he looked down, but there was a sneer in his heart, it turned out that Chen Liang just took advantage of the moment of the burst, and actually hid behind the desk, seeing that his right hand followed straight behind the desk, thinking that if it wasn't for Guichen's temporary intention to leave just now, I was afraid that he had been hit by his palm.

However, he said that Chen Liang's palm was in the air, and he had already raised his palm, but it turned out that he already knew that Guichen was not on the other side at a glance. As soon as Guichen Fang touched the green tile, he felt a rush of air, he looked down and saw that it was Chen Liang chasing after him, Guichen was ruthless in his heart, and immediately slapped it with a palm, at this moment he was in a high place, taking advantage of the geographical advantage, and this palm was just pressed on the top of Chen Liang's head.

A good Chen Liang, worthy of being called a "Confucian immortal", at this situation, I saw his left foot lightly kicking the wooden beam of the roof, his body borrowed a slight pause, his right hand was gently stirred like a whirlpool, and a suction force pulled down to return to the dust, Chen Liang suddenly slammed into a force, and his arm soared to a foot long, grabbing Guichen's ankle.

At this moment, the night is deep, the moonlight outside the house is like water, pouring down, Guichen only feels a pain in his ankle, a force pulls himself, the body involuntarily falls down, is falling, suddenly saw the roof tiles next to it are destroyed, only the wooden beam is still there, busy stretching out his right hand to hang the wooden beam, and shouting softly: "All things are rejuvenated!" At that time, the Taixu True Qi in the body of Guichen was activated, and the two forces of yin and yang rotated extremely fast, metal, water, fire, The soil, the four forces turned into wood strength, the beam was affected by his strength, and slowly sprouted new sprouts, and then grew a branch, in the blink of an eye, it was overwhelming, and the whole wooden beam was like a giant tree branch standing horizontally in the air.

"Bang!" A loud bang came out, the sound spread for several miles, it turned out that the beam could no longer stand the strength of the two people, and it fell apart in an instant, and in an instant, fragments were splashed everywhere, and the sound of clattering was endless, and a piece of smoke was flying uncertainly, making it impossible to see the surroundings clearly.

The dog barked gradually, only one or two sounds were heard at the beginning, and then it was like a contagious general, one after another, only to the distance, and the lights gradually brightened up in the four places, and Guichen knew that it was useless to stay longer, and saw that there were many people in the Chen Mansion, and the situation was pressing at the moment, and he could no longer stay here, taking advantage of the smoke, he kicked the wooden beam with his right foot, and the person had flown upside down with his strength.

The guards of the Chen Mansion were waiting outside, and when they saw the black shadow coming out, they hurriedly shouted: "The assassin is here, chase after him!" For a while, his footsteps were messy, and he rushed towards the dust.

"Stop! Don't chase!" I saw Chen Liang slowly walking out of the smoke with his hands behind his back, and said: "You have caught up with his opponent, it's not too early!

All the guards were stunned when they heard this, but Chen Liang has always been scheming, and since he had spoken, there was no way out, so he had to retreat respectfully. I saw Chen Liang wave his sleeves, and the smoke and dust suddenly dispersed, and after a while, it was clear and clear, some people had sharp eyes, only to see the wooden beam like a tree that had been cut down in the abandoned house, Chen Liang didn't say a word to the wooden beam, just stared at it in a daze.

The night was deep, and a little moisture was coming out, especially when the evening breeze blew, and it was even more cold in all directions. The group slowly came to a palace, when the first person was wearing a dragon robe, slowly came to a door, only to see him standing at the door, not moving for a long time, after a while, see his back slightly straight, take a deep breath before pushing open the vermilion lacquer door in front of him.

The door is brightly lit, several people are sitting in the hall, see someone come in, all turn their heads to see, at a glance, everyone is shocked, busy to the door kneeling to welcome, the first one in his arms a young baby panicked and said: "The concubine does not know that the emperor is back! and ask the emperor to forgive the sin!" she frowned after speaking, looked at the leading eunuch outside the door, and naturally had a slight sense of blame.

It turned out that the two of them were Zhu Yunwen and his queen -- Ma Enhui! The leading eunuch was Yuan Sheng, and I saw that his black hair was gray, and his face was wrinkled, and he was no longer what he used to be. Yuansheng naturally knew that the queen had the intention of accountability, but he only bowed, and then stopped saying anything and ignored everyone.

Zhu Yunwen knew that Yuan Sheng was Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch back then, so he naturally didn't dare to be disrespectful, so he immediately stepped forward to help Ma Enhui, patted the back of her hand gently, showed a rare smile on his face, and said gently: "I didn't let them report, it's so late, the children should also rest!" Ma Enhui saw that although he had a smile on his face, a trace of sadness was revealed from between her eyebrows, she was sensitive, although she knew that Zhu Yunwen had always been a benevolent political country, but she rarely had such a look, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, and comforted: "Where will it be!" Wen Kui learned the three-character scripture with his master today, saying that he was going to wait for you to come, and he would recite it to you!" she waved her hand lightly, and a small child knelt down and said to Zhu Yunwen: "Father, today Master Chen taught the three-character scripture, and the son is waiting for you to come back!"

Zhu Yunwen bent down and picked him up, his face suddenly warmed, and said, "Okay! Quickly carry it to me!" He slowly came to the bed with Zhu Wenkui in his arms, and said as he walked: "Get up! It's okay here, let's go down and rest!" Zhu Wenkui's immature voice slowly recited: "At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, habits are far away, no teaching, sex is migration. The way of teaching, you are specialized, former Meng's mother, choose a neighbor, the son does not learn, and the machine is broken......" Zhu Yunwen listened while nodding with a smile, looked up at Ma Enhui again, and gently patted the bed next to him, Ma Enhui saw him like this, his heart suddenly felt sour, silently walked to the bed, sat down with Zhu Yunwen, reached out to put his arm around him, and gently rested his head on his shoulder.

The cold air outside the hall is gradually rising, but the inside of the hall is as warm as before. In fact, it is rare to have such a warm time in this life, let alone the emperor's house! When Zhu Yunwen's family of four is so warm, I am afraid that it is only in the dead of night. When Zhu Yunwen was listening to his son's recitation, he suddenly felt that his shoulders were slightly moist, and he was shocked, so he hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that Ma Enhui's cheeks were wet, and two lines of tears slowly flowed.

"It seems that you already know!" Zhu Yunwen said with emotion: "After all, I can't hide it from you." Ma Enhui's tears slid down her eyes, she looked up at him, and said slowly: "There is a know-it-all in the palace, and the concubines know what happens every day, but they can only hate the concubines who are not men and cannot go to the front line; Zhu Yunwen gently stroked her cheek, reluctantly smiled, and said: "You have helped me a lot in the past few years! With you taking care of the harem, I have no worries! Chief Yuan has also mentioned this matter to me many times, but it is an iron law set by the emperor grandfather that the harem and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, and no one is allowed to disobey it!"

"The concubine knows!" Ma Enhui looked at him fixedly, and suddenly cried, she turned her head to look at Zhu Wenkui, and then looked at the child in her arms, and choked up: "It's not that the concubine doesn't know the etiquette, but Wenkui and Wengui will ...... in the future" Zhu Yunwen sighed, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and comforted: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for my soft-heartedness, it wouldn't have caused today's situation......" Ma Enhui raised her head and stretched out her hand, gently put it on Zhu Yunwen's mouth, and said: " The emperor's kindness is a blessing to the world, but it is a pity that when Taizu left, he was already in internal and external difficulties, and it was difficult for you to hold on for all these years. ”

The candlelight exploded, and the light in the hall flashed, Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said: "I know what you mean, it's all because I am too soft-hearted! I don't hide it from you today, in fact, Mr. Chen Liang is also my uncle, and Chen Chen of the military department is my brother!" Ma Enhui was shocked when she heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Is the emperor's words true?" As soon as she said this, she thought back to the past, but she actually had the answer in her heart. Zhu Yunwen showed a look of remembrance on his face, and said slowly: "Mr. Chen and Uncle Eight Emperor are born of the same mother!" Ma Enhui's eyes narrowed, and asked, "Really?" Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "Well, but Mr. Chen is the son of Chen Youliang; Uncle Eight Emperor is the child of the emperor's grandfather, and the two are just half-fathers!" In order to disturb the imperial court, Chen Chen had a defiling of the harem, the Eighth Emperor Uncle was kind-hearted, he knew that Mr. Chen's early life was miserable, and he only had a son of Chen Chen, so he took the blame, and the imperial grandfather was angry at the time, so he withdrew the Eighth Emperor Uncle's feudal state, and never mentioned this matter again. ”

Ma Enhui suddenly realized and said: "It turns out that you use Chen Liang so much because you sympathize with his life experience!" Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said: "Mr. Chen is my father! He does have real talent and learning, but after so many years, he has long been accustomed to all kinds of competition for fame and fortune, intrigue, and has no ambition in his heart; but Chen Chen is different, he is young and frivolous, and he is a rare young talent in the world, and he is the only successor of Mr. Chen, where will he easily admit defeat? I know everything he has done over the years, but I have never scolded him harshly, all because the Eighth Emperor Uncle entrusted me to take care of them before leaving. Ma Enhui sighed: "It turns out that there are so many twists and turns, but although the emperor's kindness is good, it has also invisibly boosted his momentum, and now the government and the opposition are his people, and the army of King Yan is stationed on the shore of Huaishui, so the situation of internal and external difficulties, I am afraid that there is no way to solve it!"

"Actually, this evening, Mr. Chen has already discussed with me, since the situation is now that we can't help but relax, we have to ask you to take care of it, so as not to make any mistakes again!" Zhu Yunwen sighed, but said: "Chen Chen's vision is very high, but he doesn't know that there are people outside the world, everyone who comes out of the "North City" should not be underestimated, this time Chen Chen lost the battle for the Qilin Treasure, our last hope is gone, at this moment I have no credible person, I have to hand over my last weight to you!"

Zhu Wenkui had already stopped recalling, and when he saw his parents discussing things, he had to wait, but now that the night was deep, and he was young and sleepy, his eyes were closed and he was crumbling. Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen's heart suddenly warmed, and he gently put Zhu Wenkui on the bed, and said to Ma Enhui: "Alas! Wenkui is also tired, so let's go to bed early!" Ma Enhui nodded when she heard this, and was about to take off her clothes, and suddenly said: "Oh! The concubine forgot something!" Zhu Yunwen heard her eagerly, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?" Ma Enhui smiled softly and said: "Yesterday, she asked her concubine to send some fabric, saying that she wanted to embroider something, but the concubine forgot about it for a while!"

"Hehe!" Zhu Yunwen gently pinched her Qiong's nose and said with a smile: "Now, the most stable one is afraid of her." Ma Enhui nodded with a smile and said, "What the emperor said is very true! Now she is the only one who still has the heart to do some embroidery!" Zhu Yunwen saw that it was getting late, and said to her: "It's too late today! Why don't you send her over early tomorrow morning!" Ma Enhui shook her head lightly and said: "Today's business is finished today! Since you have promised her, you can't go back on it!"

"Hahahaha!" one of them clapped his hands and applauded, and said, "It's a good thing to finish today! It's not in vain that I've been waiting for you for so long!" The two turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw a woman sitting at a round table, looking at the two with a smile.

Ma Enhui sighed, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, when did you come?" The woman said in a manly voice: "When your husband came, I was already here!" Ma Enhui heard that she came so early, and wanted to come to the conversation between the two, she had already heard it, and she felt a little embarrassed for a while, and couldn't help but make a fuss.

"Ouch!" the woman sneered and chuckled, "Why are you still shy?" Ma Enhui said shyly: "Let my sister laugh!" The woman shook her head and said: "Harmony between husband and wife is the source of everything, and the harmony between you and the two of you must be a good story! Zhu Yunwen heard that his wife had a catastrophe, and hurriedly asked: "Sister, do you know what the catastrophe is?" The woman shook her head and said: "What I have learned is very superficial, I can't delve into the specifics!" Zhu Yunwen suddenly took two steps forward, poofed, and knelt down in front of her, the woman hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and exclaimed: "What are you doing? Get up quickly!" Zhu Yunwen gently pushed her hand away, kowtowed to her, and said: "In the past, everything was Yun Wen's fault, and today Yun Wei has something to ask for, please agree!" The woman looked at him fixedly and asked: " Do you want me to protect her safety?" Zhu Yunwen suddenly burst into tears and choked up: "Yunwen knows very well that if he loses the battle with the Four Emperor Uncles this time, the first person to die can only be me; if he wins by luck, Chen Chen is only afraid that he will also raise troops to rebel, Mr. Chen loves his son, and he will definitely not investigate deeply, and it will be difficult to escape death at that time, it doesn't matter if Yun Wei dies, but how can he be innocent of his wife and child? So...... Please save their lives!"

The woman didn't want to look at her, but tilted her head to the side, and said, "Am I not your hostage at this moment?

Ma Enhui suddenly knelt down in front of her, and said, "Sister, you have been with me for many days, and you still don't know me? How can I do such a thing? I know that you are strong in martial arts, and if you want to leave, you have already left by yourself, and Mr. has helped innocent people many times in the past, please agree!" The woman sighed helplessly and said: "Silly girl! Okay! I will promise you! As long as I am in the future, I will protect them for a day!" Ma Enhui kowtowed again and again, sobbing: "Thank you, sister!"

"Bang!" suddenly came a muffled sound, which could be clearly heard in the temple. Zhu Yunwen hurriedly got up, pushed the door out, and shouted, "Someone! what's going on outside?"

After a while, someone finally came over, but the first one was Yuansheng, only to see the two of them following left and right, and the three of them respectfully said: "Slave Yuansheng, Chen Tiexuan, and Lang Xifeng see the emperor!"

When Zhu Yunwen saw the three of them, he only frowned and asked, "What happened? Why is Tie Qing's family here?" Yuan Sheng replied: "Your Majesty, the slave knows that the situation has been complicated recently, and specially invited Tie Xuan to escort him!" Zhu Yunwen nodded, then looked into the distance, and asked, "But Uncle Huang is here?" Yuan Sheng heard that there was a trace of fear in his words, and he couldn't help coughing, and said: "The emperor can rest assured, it's just some small things!" Tie Xuan said: " Your Majesty, the minister has sent someone to check, and there will be news back in a while, please wait. ”

After a while, suddenly a person ran back, and the man came to the front and saw that he was dressed in black and wearing a cloak, but it was Yan Ning. I saw that he secretly glanced at the hall, and said respectfully: "It is the sound from Mr. Chen's house! It is said that a section of a big tree has fallen and collapsed the study. Zhu Yunwen frowned and asked, "In the middle of the night, how can a big tree fall, but is anyone injured?" Yan Ning shook his head and said: "The emperor's heart is really kind, don't worry! No one is injured, you better go back and rest early! These things will definitely be confirmed by his subordinates." ”

Ma Enhui stepped out of the hall and asked, "What does that tree look like?" Yan Ning was silent for a while before replying: "Don't dare to deceive Niangniang, what fell was actually a beam, but the beam was like a dead tree in spring, with lush branches and leaves, and it was no different from an ordinary trunk." ”

"What you said is the truth?" A woman suddenly walked out from behind the temple gate and asked, "But is there anything else unusual?" Yan Ning said in a deep voice: "The stone chips are flying like lead pills, and the fallen walls are densely covered with holes. Zhu Yunwen saw that the two of them were talking strangely, and couldn't help asking, "Do you think there is anything wrong with the two of you?"

"Alas, someone broke into Chen's mansion, and the people on the rivers and lakes who can successively turn dead wood into spring and turn into soil are using the Five Elements Transformation Technique!" Yan Ning looked at everyone and said word by word: "There are only two people in the world who can do this, Feng Linyuan and Guichen! If my expectation is correct, the person who came is Guichen!"
