At noon, the sky began to snow.

The festival also began.

Under the altar stood envoys and civil and military officials from various countries.

Mu Chen is also here, and the only people who come are him, Bian Xiaofeng and Bai Chutian. Everyone else was waiting in the side hall.

He saw all the brothers of the Zhang family. Except that Zhang Qianzhong is not here.

Mu Chen walked over and said to Zhang Qianzhi, "Zhang Xiang, how many days have you not seen you, okay?" ”

Zhang Qianzhi said, "Mu Shaoxia, I didn't expect you to come too"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "I was invited by the emperor, so I came"

Zhang Qianzhi said, "Just three? ”

Mu Chen said, "And our family, it's too cold now, let them wait in the side hall"

Zhang Qianzhi looked at Mu Chen, his eyes changed, and he immediately smiled and said, "This kind of weather is really cold."

Mu Chen said, "Yes, I don't know when this sacrificial ceremony will start?" ”

Zhang Qianzhi said, "Right away, right away"

Mu Chen said, "As the minister of the country, why doesn't Zhang Xiang accompany you to make sacrifices?" ”

Zhang Qianzhi said with a smile, "This kind of thing is in charge of a special person, where can the old man take his turn?" ”

Mu Chen nodded, looked around, and said, "Why didn't you see the envoys of the Southern Dynasty?" ”

Zhang Qianzhi said, "They paid tribute and left"

Mu Chen said, "Oh? What gifts were given? ”

Zhang Qianzhi said "a white deer"

Mu Chen said, "Oh? Send a deer? Could it be that this Southern Dynasty has the ambition to compete in the Central Plains? ”

Zhang Qianzhi felt a little strange, paused, and said, "I don't dare to comment on other people's affairs."

Mu Chen looked at him and said slowly, "What about your country?" Does the emperor also have this heart? ”

Zhang Qianzhi also stared at Mu Chen, his eyes flashed with light, and he said slowly, "The emperor is dedicated to the people, protecting the community, and reassuring the people, and has no intention of going to war."

Mu Chen didn't speak, and the two just looked at each other, as if they wanted to see something in each other's eyes.

is like two peerless masters, before the decisive battle, they both want to see each other's minds.

Zhang Qianzhi suddenly asked, "Is Mu Shaoxia interested in entering the court?" ”

Mu Chen hurriedly waved his hand and smiled, "Unintentionally, unintentionally"

Zhang Qianzhi said slowly, "Since you have no intention, I hope Mu Shaoxia will be a good person in the rivers and lakes."

——Be your Jianghu people, don't ask about the temple affairs.

Mu Chen said, "Good, good"

He really felt that Zhang Qianzhi was not an ordinary person, he wanted to deceive the other party, but he was unexpectedly discovered by the other party and gave himself a warning.

Mu Chen is not a coward, but after all, he is far away from the rivers and lakes, and he shouldn't take care of the affairs of the temple, if he accidentally sets himself on fire, no one can save him.

The people of the rivers and lakes did not dare to oppose the imperial court after all.

Wood dust is no exception.

Mu Chen was trying to find a reason to leave, but suddenly heard a voice coming.

"The Sacrificial Ceremony, the Beginning"

Before the words fell, the sound of drums was already remembered.

Many people with ghost masks on their faces began to dance.

Snowflakes fall on people's cheeks, and the sound of drums is shocking.

Then, I saw Sima Shao dressed in formal clothes and slowly walking towards the altar.

With his head held high, his gait is steady, and his hands are folded in front of him, like an emperor.

The snowflakes fell on his face and turned into water, but he didn't react because he knew that everyone was watching him.

I don't know when, Zhang Qianzhi has already left, standing in the same column as the other Northern Dynasty ministers.

Sima Shao ascended the altar and knelt down to salute, then stood up and turned to look at the crowd.

Zhang Qianzhi and other ministers of the Northern Dynasty shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor"

Its sound shook through the sky and spread throughout the palace.

Then, I saw Zhang Qianzhi slowly walking up to the altar, holding an imperial edict in his hand.

walked to the stage, opened the imperial edict, and read aloud, "Heaven and earth are blessed, and the society is prosperous." Today, this trip to congratulate, all countries come to the court, and the snow comes, which is really a good omen. Our country is willing to work with all countries and peace states to stop the war and share the prosperity of the sky. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice was heard.

"If there is a Ming monarch above the temple, but there are all ministers under the temple, can this country exist?"

When Mu Chen heard this voice, his face immediately turned pale.

Sima Shao and Zhang Qianzhi were even more surprised when they heard this voice, who would have the courage to say such a thing at such a time?

And they all looked to one place.

Where the voice came.

"General Zhang!" Bian Xiaofeng lost his voice.

The person who came was really Zhang Qianzhong, he was like a hero, stepping on the wind and snow, and walked into the sacrificial venue with his head held high. He was followed by Guo Feng and Shi Qi.

Bai Chutian hurriedly ran to Guo Feng and Shi Qi, and shouted softly, "What's the matter with you two? The boss hasn't given the order yet, how can you bring him over? ”

Shi Qi said in a low voice, "General Zhang has to break out, can I stop it?" ”

Bai Chutian said, "What about you, Lao Guo?" ”

Guo Feng sighed and said, "He can't do it, how can I stop it?" ”

Bai Chutian said, "You ...... Now things are in trouble, see how you explain it to the boss," he turned around and walked to Mu Chen's side.

"Boss, it was General Zhang who broke out by himself"

Mu Chen waved his hand and motioned him not to say any more, and now Mu Chen didn't know how this matter would develop.

Zhang Qianzhi saw Zhang Qianzhong, his face showed surprise, and said, "General Zhang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Qianzhong sneered: "What do you mean by this? Don't Zhang Xiang know? ”

Zhang Qianzhi's face sank, and he said, "I don't know"

Zhang Qianzhong said, "You and I were originally siblings, but you sent someone to assassinate me when I went out to transfer troops, what do you say about this?" ”

When he said this, the expressions on everyone's faces were as if they saw their wives running away with other men.

Zhang Qianzhi was silent for a moment, and said sharply, "You gather troops to rebel, I am for the country"

Zhang Qianzhong sneered, "Joke, I will rebel?" He suddenly turned his head to look at the group of ministers and said, "Tell me that I will rebel?" ”

The ministers were silent.

Zhang Qianzhong laughed and said, "Okay, I didn't expect you to even buy them"

Zhang Qianzhi said, "That's the case, you mercenary self-respecting and trying to rebel, why should I buy others to frame you?" ”

Zhang Qianzhong shouted, "What about the prince? The crown prince can prove "

Of course, Sima Yunxuan was not here.

Mu Chen slowly walked to Zhang Qianzhong's side and said, "I can prove it to you."

Zhang Qianzhi said, "You? Is your proof useful? Who knows if you're in the same boat? ”

Mu Chen suddenly stopped, this kind of thing, at this time, it seems that only Sima Yunxuan's words are the most effective.

But he's not here right now.

Mu Chen said, "Although I can't prove whether General Zhang rebelled, I can prove that you did send someone to assassinate him."

Zhang Qianzhi said, "I sent someone to kill him, it was because he rebelled"

Mu Chen said: "A rebel knows that you want to kill him, will he still come here?" He rebelled, and you have to send someone to assassinate him? The emperor just connived at you to kill the minister privately? ”

Zhang Qianzhi was suddenly speechless.

Mu Chen continued: "What evidence do you have to prove that General Zhang rebelled? Just by the performance of those ministers? ”

Zhang Qianzhi still didn't speak, but his face had become worse and worse.

Mu Chen said, "Since you have no evidence, how dare you send someone to kill the minister of the dynasty?" He suddenly looked at Sima Shao and said, "Is it difficult, is it the privilege given to you by the emperor?" ”

Zhang Qianzhi's face changed greatly, and Sima Shao's face twitched slightly.

Sima Shao suddenly asked, "Why don't you discuss it with me?" Could it be that this country can be ruled by only you, Zhang Qianzhi? ”

Zhang Qianzhi suddenly laughed and laughed wildly.

His laughter was mixed with anger and sorrow.

Mu Chen was taken aback.

He didn't know why Zhang Qianzhi had such a reaction.

Zhang Qianzhi pointed at Zhang Qianzhong and said, "You, it's all you, it's you who caused me to become like this"

Zhang Qianzhong was suddenly a little surprised, and didn't know what to say.

Zhang Qianzhi said, "We are brothers, and I think I am no worse than you, but why? Why are you the world-famous and praised heroes? And being said to be a villain who only knows the conspiracy? It's not fair."

Zhang Qianzhong said, "We are brothers, do you care about this?" ”

Zhang Qianzhi said, "Of course I care, you ask them, ask them what they think"

He pointed to the other brothers of the Zhang family.

Zhang Qianzhong looked at them, looked at them with incredible eyes, and said, "You think so too?" ”

The Zhang brothers were silent.

Zhang Qianzhi suddenly jumped down and fell from the sacrificial platform to Zhang Qianzhong's side.

How can he do kung fu?

Zhang Qianzhi said: "Today, I will let the world see, who is the strongest between you and me?" ”

As a compatriot, why do you have to fight? Still fighting with your life?

Mu Chen couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it, because Zhang Qianzhi and Zhang Qianzhong had already fought each other.

I have to say that Zhang Qianzhong's kung fu is really good, and it can be seen that his endurance is very strong, otherwise it would be impossible for Mu Chen to not be able to measure his kung fu.

Does anyone know how long he has been hiding in the snow?

Who knows how long his inner emotions have been hidden?
