Volume 1 The Dragon's Head Rises Chapter 12 A one-word reply

The black night sky was a little hazy and bright, Chen Jingcang returned to the courtyard where he lived alone, the maid Xiaoqi was waiting by the door and was already asleep, Chen Jingcang carried her back to the room, and sat alone in the courtyard and made himself a pot of tea.

Only then did he quietly watch the scattered light in the sky.

Chen Jingcang actually gave him a signal before leaving Accord, tonight's target has always been the rouge of the marriage sect, their purpose is just to subdue this mysterious sect in the rivers and lakes, it is said that the strength of the sect master of the marriage sect has reached Tongtian, coupled with the magic of the marriage sect, it is no longer inferior to the master of the general Qiankun realm.

Individually, the sect with the Qiankun realm is already the top sect ancestor level in the entire world, most of those people have lived to be hundreds of years old, and they have basically ignored the things of the sect, to put it more bluntly, their descendants are already gray-haired.

Of course, there are also a few unreasonable existences, such as Qiao Ling'an, the sword god who has been famous in the world as early as fifty years ago, practicing swords at the age of three, entering the product at the age of eight, fifteen King Kong, twenty cave heavens, and thirty Qiankun, such martial arts wizards, the whole world has collected only one or two!

Now the sword gods in the rivers and lakes are no longer as rare as they were back then, as long as there are swordsmen in the realm of the cave sky, they will be called sword gods by the rivers and lakes, of course, Jing Yishan, the world's recognized leader in the sword, is still expected to impact the few Qiankun realms in the world before the age of forty.

His name as a sword god is the most recognized, and if you talk about his deeds, you can't tell it clearly.

The world has stabilized, and the sect has been put on the agenda, this is the general trend of the world, not one or two sects can be influenced, if it can't send goodwill to the current court or directly surrender, then such a sect will not survive for long.

Some sects that have been inherited since ancient times, such as Taoism Sanqing Mountain, Buddhism King Kong Temple, and the world's first gang Juyi Hall and the insight into the world Dongtian Pavilion, these sects have too strong foundations, and the court will not easily move them, because their influence is too great, and if they move, they will cause turmoil in the rivers and lakes, bandits are rampant, and the court will not force them to do anything, if they send goodwill to the court, the court will naturally give rewards and rewards.

The imperial court naturally doesn't care much about these false names, such as today, there are already many sects that have given titles to the imperial court, although these are some sects that are superficially sincere, when the imperial court is really sure to completely suppress these Jianghu forces, those Jianghu forces that show sincerity is not enough to make the imperial court feel at ease, will inevitably face a rectification, Chen Jingcang has no doubt that the strength of the rectification will be extremely bloody.

Today's wealthy families have all shown great loyalty under the deterrence of the imperial court, and Jianghu, Chen Zidong, the male lord who has stabilized the world in a few years, must have also seen the constraints of the Jianghu forces on this world, so this knife will not last long.

Chen Jingcang also saw that Chen Zidong wanted to boil frogs in warm water to turn the rivers and lakes into courts, perhaps because he knew that there were already some hidden drawbacks when he was too quick to stabilize the wealthy family, this time his method was to be less bloody, but it was only a little less.

Chen Jingcang was alone in the dark night, his pupils were a little deep and dark, looking at the moonless night sky, he was a little distracted.

But if you look closely at his eyes, the black pupils are actually a little imperceptible white light. The night was exceptionally clear.

Chen Jingcang didn't feel anything unusual, he looked at it for a long time, and finally closed his eyes, as if he was sleeping peacefully, I don't know when he got up, the wind rose, Chen Jingcang's robe blew, the wind was a little urgent, and he didn't know who covered him with a leather blanket, at this time the sky was a little empty and bright, but there were no stars, sun and moon, as if it belonged to the color of the sky itself.

When the east was slightly bright, Chen Jingcang woke up from the recliner, he has always been used to getting up early, even when he arrived at the palace of Bingzhou, he got up and began to practice boxing, today his boxing is a little slow, I don't know if it was the cold of this late spring last night or the strength used when boxing was wrong, he was a little cold.

A set of punches is finished.

For some reason, the coolness was even worse than in winter, and he closed his fists, took in his stomach, and exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his body felt slightly hot.

At this time, the maid Xiaoqi walked out of the courtyard with sleepy eyes, and when she saw Chen Jingcang, she was a little distracted, and sat on the edge of the door and watched, until Chen Jingcang spoke: "Why don't you sleep for a while?" This tone is as gentle as her sister.

Chen Jingcang looked at Xiao Qi, whose eyes had not yet opened, a little distracted, remembering that year, his mother told him that he would have one more sister or a younger brother, Chen Jingcang didn't know how long he was happy, and he couldn't stop cheering. But later, he knew that his mother was a younger sister in her belly, but that sister didn't open the eye socket that Chen Jingcang thought was the best, looked at him, and shouted

It seemed that the pair of blood-covered people were afraid to see the scarlet blood soil at that time and the few scarlet eyes left, she should have been afraid, so she didn't open her eyes to see the world, she wouldn't know what kind of gentle and virtuous woman her mother was, and how majestic her father was.

Awakened from his distraction, Chen Jingcang coughed to hide the tears in his eyes.

Xiao Qi said dimly, "Young Master, are you going to wash?"

Chen Jingcang nodded and said, "Go and fetch water for the young master first, and the young master will come in later." ”

Xiao Qi walked to prepare in a daze, and she didn't know what she would bump into on the road.

The sky in Chen Jingcang's eyes gradually became whiter, and the white light spots in his pupils were even brighter, Chen Jingcang squinted his eyes, the newborn of this round of the sun was more hazy than Liangzhou, and the sky was not bright enough.

But after a while, Chen Jingcang turned around and went back to the house, and when he finished washing, the palace was already busy, and he had nothing to do, so he sat in place again, the look in his eyes dissipated and radiated around, as if he was looking for something, but he found that it had changed too much over the years, and the faint traces were not enough for him to be sentimental.

No one dared to disturb him in such a sitting, Xiao Qi was the little maid that Chen Jingcang regarded as his sister, and she didn't have anything to do with the palace, she also accompanied Chen Jingcang with her chin in her hand.

Chen Jingcang looked at the sun, Xiao Qi looked at Chen Jingcang, and the look in Xiao Qi's eyes was as bright as the brilliance in Chen Jingcang's eyes.

The meditation in the lost mind is gradually torn apart in the brighter and brighter morning light, just as the morning light tears through the darkness.

Such a gradual crack, imperceptible, imperceptibly spread all over the world.

After breakfast, Chen Jingcang and Xiao Qi, who had nothing to do, began to take care of the yard again, weeding and watering the flowers very happily, I don't know how long I haven't enjoyed such a leisurely time.

Xiao Qi asked, "Young Master, how long can you stay when you come back this time?"

Chen Jingcang smiled and said, "Do you want to go to the capital with the young master?"

Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "Young Master, I heard that it is very dangerous in the capital, and I am a little scared. ”

Chen Jingcang could see that Xiao Qi actually wanted to accompany Chen Jingcang, but she had never walked out of Bingzhou since she was born, strictly speaking, she had not yet walked out of Bingzhou Palace, she didn't know what the outside world was, and she had no concept of how sinister the rivers and lakes outside were. It's just that I've heard something about what the outside is like from some knowledgeable people in the palace, and the outside world is still too strange to her.

Chen Jingcang didn't want Xiao Qi to live a life of fear every day, he said: "Then you wait for the young master to take you to the capital next time, this time the young master still has some things to do." ”

"Is the young master in danger then?" Xiao Qi is very worried about Chen Jingcang now since he heard what Chen Jingcang said last night.

"No, just go find someone. ”

Xiao Qi was relieved, Chen Jingcang sat for more than an hour, during which someone brought breakfast, Chen Feizhu also came to eat with Chen Jingcang, and then Chen Feizhu left again, they just looked at each other a few times, and did not mention last night's incident.

Near noon, the steward came to report that Qu Funan came to pay a visit, Chen Jingcang nodded, and about half an hour Qu Funan came to Chen Jingcang's courtyard with a big belly, and he immediately knelt down on his knees and said: "The first-class steward of the investigation room knocks on His Royal Highness Chitose." ”

Chen Jingcang nodded expressionlessly and motioned for Qu Fujian to get up and speak.

Qu Fujian immediately handed over a copy of the secret confinement, which was sealed with wax, Chen Jingcang did not rush to open it but asked, "Has the matter of Xiao Fall been clarified?"

Qu Funan lowered his head and said: "Back to the prince, this person is secretive, and there are two most likely about his identity information after being screened by the slaves, the first is that he is from the town on the edge of the poor water mountain in our state, in the first year of Zhongxing, when His Majesty first ascended the throne, the Xiao Fall family was plundered by the rebels, and the entire village was slaughtered. Xiao Shen was rescued by the Demon Sect Sect Master who happened to be practicing from the Poor Water Mountain, and since then he has climbed the Demon Mountain, showing unparalleled martial arts talent, and in just seven years, he has improved his martial arts all the way, ascended to a very high realm, and became the most powerful assistant of the Demon Sect Master. ”

Chen Jingcang nodded and said, "Say the second one." ”

Qu Fujian swallowed his saliva and continued: "There are also rumors that Xiao Fall is the illegitimate son of the Demon Sect Master, and the Demon Sect Sect Master went down to the Demon Mountain to find Xiao Fall, but Xiao Fall is grateful to his adoptive parents and is unwilling to leave, the Demon Sect Master is forced to slaughter the village as a threat, and Xiao Fall is forced to climb the Demon Mountain in order to save the people in the village. ”

Chen Jingcang stretched out his hand and pointed to the stone bench beside him, Qu Fujian glanced at Chen Jingcang nervously before sitting down.

Chen Jingcang poured a cup of tea for Qu Funan, Qu Fujian nervously picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly and said, "Your Majesty asked me to pass on a message to you, hoping that Your Highness will return to Beijing after Qingming." Please read the secret and reply a letter to Your Majesty. ”

"There is also the matter of your detour to chase and kill, Your Majesty said that he was not thoughtful enough, please don't be resentful, and you will definitely give an explanation to Your Highness after returning to Beijing. ”

Chen Jingcang nodded, stretched out his hand to pick up Mihan and took it apart and looked at it, Mihan was very brief, only a few words: "Jingcang Wu'er, my father knows that you don't want to see me, but my father hopes that after the Qingming Festival, you can go on stage with your father, and I will miss you very deeply for my father, and I look forward to returning." ”

Chen Jingcang didn't speak after reading it, and waved his hand to signal Qu Fujian to leave.

When Qu Funan left, Chen Jingcang's hands trembled, this letter was like an old father's thoughts about his child, at this moment it seemed that he was no longer the emperor who was high, just an ordinary father. Chen Jingcang rarely read the letter sent from the capital to Liangzhou in recent years, he has a lot of resentment in his heart, he has not replied to a letter in the past three years, Chen Zidong is afraid that Chen Jingcang will not read the letter he sent, so every festival will send someone to Chen Jingcang Festival oral message.

Time is really fast, three years, three years Liangzhou Xing has never replied to his father a letter, it seems that he is no longer filial, but how to erase the resentment accumulated in his heart?

This time he actually wanted to write a letter, returned to the room, and asked Xiao Qi to prepare pen and ink for him, he had an impulse to tell his father all the hardships he had endured in the past few years, but when he picked up the pen, he didn't know where to start, hesitated, thought, and finally Chen Jingcang only wrote one word.

He put down his pen and wrapped it in letter paper so that the letter could be delivered to Accord, and he returned to his previous state of idleness.
