Chapter 1 The Wind Rises
On the third day of the fourth month, the night, the crescent moon is like a hook.
Jingshi, Xiangfu, Jinsi Pavilion.
Gu Daocheng, who was dressed in moon-white clothes, was sitting at the round table and fiddling with the incense box beside him, which was the "drunken incense" that the saint had just appreciated, which was said to be the most nourishing.
Since his accession to the throne, the current saint has changed the law of the Holy Ancestor and Sejong, and appointed An Jizhi as the general of the chariot cavalry to lead the northern camp, lead the military affairs of the two counties of Fufeng and Wuyuan, and stationed in Baye City, choking the gateway of Qingshan and Yuyang counties into Beijing.
Appointing Lei Tianfeng to lead the Thunder Mansion and manage the affairs of the world's sects, the reputation of the various sects has weakened a lot over the years, and there is a shadow of the Thunder Mansion behind him.
Appointed Tu Ju to set up the Eight Guards of Yanshan, these Eight Guards since its establishment, quite mysterious, without the slightest sound, but two years ago, the Shan Rong Blade Hou invaded Hexi Mansion, was beheaded by a cavalry army that fell from the sky nearly 10,000, defeated and fled, the reputation of the Eight Guards shook the world overnight.
All of them show the ambition of the newly enthroned young emperor.
Although he and the Queen Mother were worried that this young man was too radical, the mountains around the empire, the Red Night Dragon Pan, and the small countries of Juyang and Chen Zhao also had their own calculations, and none of them were easy to get along with. Although the empire is growing today, it only takes one careless mistake to destroy the foundation that the Holy Ancestor and the Emperor have endured for many years.
The Queen Mother knocked several times, and this heroic young man finally restrained a little, but today he inexplicably rewarded himself with such a box of "drunken incense", saying that he was thinking of the old minister, but Gu Daocheng realized a trace of unusual meaning from it.
The announcement of the pavilion guard outside the door interrupted Gu Daocheng's thoughts.
Unfolding the silk book in his hand, Gu Daocheng's brows gradually wrinkled. The exhibition hall was thoroughly investigated, Lu Xuanran was transferred to Yunping Pass, the red fire copper mine was found in Dingbian, the red fire sword was found in the goods transported by Jianfeng to Shanrong Linji City, and traces of the demon clan were found in many places in Qingshan County. Qingshan County, which was originally peaceful, suddenly had waves, and in an instant, there was a turbulent wave. It seems that the so-called peaceful and prosperous era is just his own wishful thinking, although after many years of dormancy, but the time to come is still coming. But it's okay to do this, while his old bones are still working, he will make a break in his own hands, I hope that after this turmoil, the young man above the temple can know that the foundation of his father and brother is not easy to come by, and the so-called Wang Tu hegemony is just to let the people of the world be fed and clothed.
Sighing softly, the old man put down the incense box, gradually straightened his back, and the light in his gentle eyes flickered.
On Guiyan Peak, one hundred and twenty miles outside the capital, Cheng Qian had just sent away Lan Dieyi, looking at the crescent moon outside the window, and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Master, today's palace report has arrived, and the Queen Mother specially made Zhu Criticism, I think it is very important. A middle-aged man in a high-crowned costume was holding a piece of bamboo slip in his hand, and his voice was quite uncalm.
"Wei Bazi, your heart is not quiet. Cheng Qian's voice was very gentle, but it was as deafening as thunder in the ears of middle-aged people. The middle-aged man was stunned, let out a long sigh of relief, gently put the bamboo slip in his hand on the desk, and bowed out. At this moment, he knew that he had been trying to catch up for many years, and he originally thought that he was extremely close to the old man in front of him, but now it seemed that he was even farther away.
Cheng Qian didn't look at the bamboo slips on the case, and after listening to what Lan Dieyi said today, he knew that the empire had arrived again
The autumn of the matter, but this is good, the world has been peaceful for a long time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have gradually lost their enterprising heart, even the Queen Mother and Gu Xiang are only bent on keeping it, but if there is no thunder means to deter Xiaoxiao, where can the peace of the world be kept if you want to? Tianlong Academy has endured for a long time, I am afraid that the world has forgotten, and those scholars have also hidden a sword in their hearts.
"A sword in ten years, the frost blade hides the edge, once out of the clouds, shining all over the green mountains. ”
Looking at the words on the jade bi, Cheng Qian's whole person gradually became sharper, and there was a sword aura in the quiet room, blowing the bamboo slips on the desk to hunt.
In the painting on the Lanxi, the blue butterfly clothes stood with their hands in their hands, and no one could have imagined that the blue-shirted scribe standing on a small boat in such a leisurely landscape was actually the most mysterious and unpredictable Lantai edict envoy today, which made countless people hear about it.
"Chu Jiu, how is that young man?" Lan Dieyi looked at the clear stream, and her tone was as smooth as gossip.
"If you go back to adults, it's very good, forbearing, ruthless, asking for something, giving up. A man in a green shirt stood with his hands down.
"It's really good," Lan Dieyi smiled, the smile was like the spring breeze on the stream, a fish seemed to feel the warmth and swam over with its head and tail, but when it reached the bow of the boat, it immediately turned over and floated on the water, until Lan Dieyi turned around, and then fled in panic.
"Nowadays, young people know how to forbear, and there are more ruthless minds, but few know what they want in their hearts, and it is even rarer to know how to give up, it seems that you are not wrong. The man in the green shirt has followed Lan Dieyi for many years, and it is rare to see him praise a person like this, but this person still found it himself, and he even claimed to be it, but sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Chu Jiu, don't be afraid, the nine of you have been with me for many years, I still know you well, a few years ago I asked the Seventh Major General to hand over the soul statue of the "Lingguang Shenjun" to him, if there is no accident, this time should have been guarded in the young man's purple mansion. The man in the green shirt looked at the gentle middle-aged scribe in front of him, and a chill inexplicably rose in his heart, and he bowed lower, "Please rest assured, the ninth day of the first month will assist the Divine Monarch with all his heart, and live up to the high expectations of the adults." ”
Lan Dieyi looked at the back of the man in the distance, such as the wind and clouds are surging today, but as long as anyone dares to challenge Gu Xiang's authority, he will not hesitate to erase it, as if they never existed.
"Mother," Cheng Meixue turned around when she heard the call, something happened at home these days, although she didn't tell her daughter, but this girl Bingxue is smart, I'm afraid she can't hide it. It's also good that young eagles always have to go through wind and rain. Cheng Wudie looked at the girl jumping up, knowing in her heart what she wanted to do.
"Mother," the girl held Cheng Wudie's arm, her delicate cheeks leaned on her mother's shoulder, and her tone was a little coquettish, "You just let me go with my aunt, I haven't been to my eldest brother for so many years, so I just took this opportunity to follow my aunt to see my eldest brother." It also saves you and your father a long way to run. The girl's dark eyes were full of anticipation.
"Okay", Cheng Meixue gently pinched the girl's delicate nose, her tone was full of doting, her eyes stared at the girl's face, without blinking, as if she wanted to see enough at once.
"But you have to promise your mother, it's a long way to go to Tianshui, you have to listen to your aunt in everything, and you must not be willful, you know?" Cheng Meixue held back her tears, tried to be as calm as possible, and the girl gently buried her head in her mother's lap
It would be nice if time could stand still at this moment. But it has happened, and it will eventually be faced. Although his ability is limited, he can also share the worries of his parents and brothers.
This time, there was a change in Yunping Pass, and there was a demon army infiltrating the territory of Qingshan, I heard that my sister-in-law led troops to intercept it, although the girl did not understand the military, but she knew that her parents were extremely worried about this matter. At this time, Dingbian was not calm, I heard that the people of the Inspection Department showed traces in Dingbian several times, although nothing really happened, but the girl had smelled the wind and rain. She knew that if Tianshui and Changping were branches and leaves, then falling leaves and fixed edges were the roots of the Jian family, and as a member of the Jian family, she naturally had to take some responsibility at this time.
"Da Shou, I wonder if Xiao Xin will be in danger if she goes? I hope the children can avoid this turmoil. Cheng Meixue stood beside Jian Dashou and looked at the long street where the figure of the girl had long gone, and refused to turn back.
Jian Dashou gently took his wife into his arms, but did not say a word, husband and wife for more than 20 years, there was no need to say anything, what wind and rain, share it.
Thunder Mansion, Thunder God Palace.
Lei Tianfeng looked at the magnificent picture scroll in front of him and was a little distracted, there were mountains, rivers, blue seas, and plains on the picture scroll. There are many marks densely packed on it, and if others look at it, they will only regard it as a map of the territory of the Celestial Dragon Empire and its surroundings. But in Lei Tianfeng's eyes, this is his territory, his world. Or rather, he helped the young man in the temple to protect the world.
"God General," a hoarse voice sounded from the shadows, "Cheng Wudie has set off from Fallen Leaf City to Tianshui Pass. Huojia Village disappeared overnight, and Li Dali and his wife were nowhere to be found. ”
"Missing?" Lei Tianfeng took his eyes off the scroll, he had always suspected that the Yin family still had descendants left in the world, and he had a thunderous blow to the Yin family back then, none of them missed the net, and he personally checked it afterwards, and the two girls were also among them, so it stands to reason that it can be regarded as cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. But for some reason, Lei Tianfeng was still relieved. Back then, Yin Tieyi guarded the border pass, which was stationed in Qingshan and Yuyang counties, and Zhou Tianyi also chose here, if there is no connection between this, Lei Tianfeng said that he would not believe anything. It's just that he has been secretly tracking around all these years, but he has not found any clues, and even he himself thought that he was just a fool, but a few days ago he found the traces of the iron-armored divine doctor under Yin Tieyi's tent. Finally found Huojia Village, and was about to make a move, but he lost his trace, and with the skills of his own black judges, he couldn't find out who did it, it seems that the enemy is not simple, but who is it? Lei Tianfeng suddenly felt a little frightened.
"How about Jian Feng's side?" The voice in the shadows paused slightly, he had followed Lei Tianfeng for many years, and knew that the person in front of him was terrible, although the words he asked were still plain, but the silver and white thunder on his body was shining, I was afraid that he was already angry, so don't be careful when you reply.
"Hui Shen's words," the voice in the shadows was even more respectful, "Jian Feng has been lit up these days, and it seems that there is something happy about it. Jian Tiannan has ordered the Blood Sword Hall to arrest the relevant people of the Ye family, but Bai Shen's side doesn't seem to care, and he doesn't see any changes, but Bai Ling'er has disappeared these days, and I don't know if it has anything to do with it. ”
"Let Qi Niang help them, just counting on these sect people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed. The voice in the shadows bowed down, and gradually fell silent. Lei Tianfeng's figure also disappeared into the scroll, and the entire lobby became empty again, only the sound of the wind outside the window was blowing urgently.
