Chapter 668: The Wind and Rain Comes

Li Jiaobaba waited for King Rui's "say more" next step, but King Rui stood up, lifted his ass and left.

Li Jiao held it in his throat in one breath and couldn't go up or down, thinking of Qiao Zhao's hatred to the next level.

King Xijiang Gong's body improved day by day, and it didn't take long for him to return to normal.

After being ill once, he firmly believed that Da Liang was compatible with him, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and return to Xijiang, so he urged the murderer of Princess Xijiang to become more and more diligent.

Lanshan took this opportunity to fan the flames in front of Emperor Ming Kangdi, who fell into a deep contradiction.

After the champion Hou was a rebel and thief, he pushed it out and cut it to his liking, but the champion Hou's knife is too good, once it is cut, where can he find such a good knife?

If he didn't have this sharp knife, what would happen if there was any more chaos on the Northern Qi side? Then he had to put his energy into fighting against the Tartars, which would delay his immortality too much.

But if you keep it and don't kill it, what if this knife is aimed at him?

To kill or not to kill?

Emperor Ming Kangdi pondered this problem all day long, and he couldn't even take care of eating the elixir, and on this day, his face finally sank and he made up his mind: "Wei Wuxie-"

"The slave is here. Wei Wuxian responded respectfully, and sighed quietly in his heart.

It seems that the emperor has already made a decision on how to deal with the champion Hou.

As a confidant of Emperor Ming Kang, Wei Wuxian has seen Emperor Ming Kangdi's entanglements these days.

"Bring me a copper coin. ”

What?

This order was so unexpected that Wei Wuxian was directly stunned.

"What?" Ming Kangdi glanced at him lightly.

Wei Wuxian didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly took a copper coin and gave it to Emperor Ming Kang.

Emperor Ming Kangdi sat down in front of the bookcase, and said silently in his heart: If the year name is upward, he will cut the champion Hou with a knife; if the "Fortune and Treasure" is upward, he will keep the champion Hou for the New Year.

Ming Kangdi finished silently and threw the copper coin high.

The copper coin spun in the air several times and fell, and Wei Wuxie's eyes straightened.

What is the emperor doing?

In Emperor Ming Kangdi's slightly nervous mood, the copper coin fell on the table, and Emperor Ming Kangdi and Wei Wuxie's eyes widened.

Neither heads nor tails, the copper coin is actually standing!

What does it mean to stand? Doesn't that make it difficult for me!

Emperor Ming Kangdi was furious and slapped the table hard, and the copper coin was flapped away and rolled to the ground.

Emperor Ming Kangdi, who was about to leave, paused and ordered: "Wei Wuxie, see if the copper coin that falls to the ground is face up or tail." ”

After waiting for a while, he didn't see Wei Wuxie's squeak, and Ming Kangdi's tone was even more dissatisfied: "Wei Wuxie, what are you doing there without saying a word?"

Wei Wuxian sighed secretly and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the copper coin fell into the crack of the steps. ”

Emperor Ming Kangdi strode over and kicked Wei Wuxie, who was pouting his ass looking for copper coins, and saw that there was indeed a crack at the junction of the steps paved with gold bricks, and couldn't help but turn pale: "What do you minions do to eat, do you not know until my main hall collapses?"

Wei Wuxian knew that Emperor Ming Kang was losing his temper for some reason, and knelt to the side without saying a word.

Emperor Ming Kangdi stared at the tiny slit and lost his temper: "Wei Wuxie, ask someone to pry this place open for me, today I just want to see which side of the copper coin is facing up!"

It's such a small gap, and the copper coin just fell into it, isn't this blocking him?

Soon Wei Wuxian led people to warp the gold bricks, and silently muttered in his heart: Copper coins, you should hurry up and cooperate a little, is it just the other way around?

At the moment when the gold brick was raised, everyone, including Ming Kangdi, stretched their necks to look over, and saw a fist-sized hole in the ground under the gold brick.

"It's—" Ming Kangdi was puzzled.

Everyone trembled and did not dare to say anything.

"What the hell is this, tell me immediately!" Ming Kangdi was furious.

A little eunuch couldn't stand Tianwei, and blurted out: "Mouse hole!"

"What?" Ming Conti thought he had misheard.

"Back to Your Majesty, that's a rat hole!" The words had already been spoken, and the little eunuch simply let it out.

"Rat hole?" Ming Kangdi stared at the swarthy hole and spit out these three words, his lips turned white with anger.

There was actually a rat hole in his royal study of the king of a country, and the damn copper coin fell into the rat hole.

"Dig three feet into the ground for me and find that copper coin!"

He doesn't believe in it!

After waiting for another half an hour, the good imperial study was no different from the ruins, and the rat hole finally saw the bottom, and there were some rags and pastry dregs that had been bitten by rats at the bottom of the hole.

Emperor Ming Kang's face turned blue, and he said murderously: "Turn out that copper coin for me." ”

"Yes!" everyone pounced on them, and when they heard a few squeaks, a black-haired mouse came out of the gap in the crowd and ran away like the wind.

Emperor Ming Kangdi watched the mouse quickly disappear from sight with a copper coin in his mouth, and he was angry: "Catch up with that mouse for me!"

The rat didn't chase it back, and Emperor Ming Kangdi looked at the imperial study with a completely unpretentious face and wanted to cry without tears, and he was even more puzzled: Isn't that mouse sick, what do you do when you don't take away the pastry dregs and take the copper coins when the disaster comes?

The eunuchs didn't dare to show the slightest abnormality on their faces, but they thought in their hearts: Isn't the emperor evil, just digging up the imperial study in order to find a copper coin?

Wei Wuxian secretly sneered, and said in his heart: What do you fools know, where does the emperor care about the copper coin, but the life and death of the champion Hou!

Ming Kangdi's whim of throwing copper coins did not get an answer in the end, and his mood became more and more entangled.

Emperor Ming wanted to retreat when he was in a bad mood, but thinking of the consequences of the last few retreats, he silently dispelled this thought, so his mood became worse and worse.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty felt the emperor's anger, and suddenly everyone was in danger, and they had a premonition that the storm was coming.

And the real storm came not long after.

This storm did not start from the capital, but from Shanhaiguan, and the wind became a stormy wave at first glance.

On a dark and windy night, the iron hooves of the Northern Qi Tartars stepped through the Shanhaiguan, bypassed Heyu County, and went straight to the capital.

That night, the people in the suburbs of Beijing slept soundly, and the sound of iron hooves outside and the barking of dogs woke them up from their sleep.

"Dad, mother, what's going on outside?" a toddler sat up rubbing his eyes.

When the mother hugged the young child, put the child to sleep, and asked the man next to her: "His father, shouldn't there be bandits outside?"

The man was a soldier who had been disarmed and returned to the field, and after listening to the movement for a while, he put on his clothes and wanted to get up: "It doesn't sound like it, the sound of iron hooves is too neat, I'll go out and have a look——"

The woman grabbed the man stiffly: "Dad, don't go out!"

"I'm not going out, I'm going to put the gate on top. ”

Then the woman let go.

Unfortunately, the strength of one person was too small when the catastrophe came, and the door was quickly kicked open, and the man who desperately resisted died in the blink of an eye.
