Chapter 600: Zhong Kang's Death

At night, the already closed south gate of Tianjing suddenly opened, a team of officers and soldiers were heavily guarded, and groups of high-ranking officials lined up to greet each other, because the power of the sun leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the prime minister Zhongkang, who suppressed the emperor, returned to Beijing.

Zhong Kang is burly, with a bearded face, eyes like copper bells, and a fierce face, more like a savage than the descendants of the Li family. With such a look, don't think he is a rough and reckless horseman, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair, and he is cunning and cunning.

The reason why Zhong Kang was in a hurry to return to Beijing was because Yun Feng, the lord of the Tianlong Kingdom, had arrived. Only he has the right to reach an agreement between countries with Yunfeng on behalf of Yaoyang, and Emperor Yangxiao said nothing.

Zhongkang has been a little anxious lately, because Yaoyang is in an eventful autumn, and waves of unevenness have risen again and again. Dayan in the northeast was finally repelled by Bai Lang, and there was another problem in the area adjacent to Bazhou in the southwest, and the army of the Heavenly Sage Sect had already reached the border between Bazhou and Zhongzhou.

What is odious is that Lizhou, which the Fan family occupies, was originally the richest region in the southwest, and it has always been a barrier and strong support for the southwest of Zhongzhou in terms of blocking foreign enemies, but after the Fan family established itself as a Liguo, they were worried about offending the Heavenly Saint Sect and no longer provided the slightest help to the neighboring vassal states.

The vassal states in the southwest and those vassal states in the northeast that have been destroyed are the same, and they usually disobey the will of the imperial dynasty, but when they encounter external troubles, they ask the imperial dynasty to lend a hand. Zhongkang can't sit idly by, once he loses the hearts of the people, the prestige of the dynasty will be further reduced, and Yaoyang may fall apart.

Everyone knows that although Yaoyang is nominally from the Yang family, it is actually his Zhong family. The reason why Yang Xiao's puppet was not abolished was that Zhong Kang was unwilling to be a puppet like Yang Xiao. He is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity for Confucianism to be weak, and when the time comes, he will directly let his son Zhongyong ascend the throne as emperor.

This time I went out of the city to review the southern army stationed not far from Tianjing. Zhong Kang prepared to transfer the southern army to the southwest to prevent the Heavenly Saint Sect from raiding Zhongzhou. rushed back to Tianjing overnight to receive Yunfeng, because there was also a war in the southeast, and the Tianlong Kingdom suddenly sprung up and attacked the territory of the Jiangyin Empire around Qinglong Mountain. Not only did they kill the Jiangyin Empire's naval army in one battle, but also defeated the Jiangyin land army one after another.

Zhong Kang was not worried that the Tianlong Kingdom would covet Zhongzhou, because there was a Huizhou in the middle, and unless the Tianlong Kingdom invaded the entire Wuzhou of the Jiangyin Empire to the west, it would be bordered by the princes Guoqing State in the south of Zhongzhou.

What Zhong Kang needs is Yunfeng's 'immortal weapon'. It is said that the reason why the Tianlong Kingdom was able to rely on an army of less than 10,000 this time and defeat the Jiangyin Empire was that the soldiers relied on a 'fairy weapon' in their hands. The one who destroyed the Jiangyin Empire's naval army was a giant 'immortal weapon'. If you can get the 'immortal weapon' of Yunfeng, Yaoyang will definitely rest easy.

The car drove into the city, and the ministers shouted, "The lower officials meet the prime minister." The prime minister has worked hard all the way. "Its posture, where is to welcome the prime minister, grandly better than the emperor.

Zhong Kang didn't even get out of the car, just lifted the curtain and waved his hand lightly, "Let's go back." Tomorrow morning, no, no, noon, the officials above the four products in Beijing will go to the council hall to discuss matters. After speaking, the curtain was lowered, and he leaned back on the comfortable chair tiredly, closing his eyes and resting.

He needs to worry about the great sun up and down, and he must always be on guard against Confucianism knowing his different intentions, even as a monk, Zhong Kang feels tired, tired.

Zhong Xia, the leader of the secret guard, who is not like the blood of the Zhong family and is as thin as a stalk, quietly approached Zhong Kang's carriage, "Prime Minister, should you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion or go to the palace." ”

Zhong Kang closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, and said softly, "Imperial Palace." ”

Shortly before Zhong Kang entered the city, a secret door to the north of the palace quietly opened. A group of men in black sneaked in quickly and stealthily, quickly disappearing between the palace complexes.

Early the next morning, a eunuch from the palace came to Honglu Temple and asked Yunfeng to go to the palace to attend the meeting.

Yun Feng only came into contact with the morning exercise, and after washing the cough, breakfast was not finished. "So early?"

Li Yan was also a little confused, "It's strange, it's rare to have such an early garden party." ”

At this time, the Yun family, headed by Yun Feng's twelfth uncle Yun Pei, took Yun Chun and a group of Yun Feng's peers and daughters of the Yun family, as well as the descendants of other families, also came to Honglu Temple and invited Yun

Wind went to the palace together for a meeting.

Bai Rao, who was the most active, threw away the chopsticks and came to pull the clouds, "Little brother, let's go, let's go, there will be a lot of delicious food at the poetry meeting." ”

Li Yan frowned, "Xiaorao, don't go." ”

Yunfeng has never participated in any poetry meetings, so naturally he doesn't understand the meaning of the calendar.

Li Yan explained: "In addition to the Qinglou, the poetry club is the most unscrupulous and open place. It is precisely because of this that in Zhongzhou, where Confucian etiquette is strict, it is the most popular among young people. "I didn't say much, Yunfeng already understood. According to Confucian etiquette, when a young woman goes to that kind of occasion, it is detrimental to her honor.

Yun Feng shook his head, "With you and me, who would dare?" The divine sense of him and Li Yan was enough to cover a radius of dozens of miles, and it was not easy to stare at a Bai Rao. Whoever dares to bully Bai Rao, that is looking for death. Of course, Bai Rao is voluntary, and Yunfeng will not care. From Tianfeng and the others, they have read a lot of books outside the heavens, and it is impossible not to be affected. Yunfeng hopes that Bai Rao can choose her life partner independently, rather than as a bargaining chip for family marriage. Although Yun Bing, who chose independently, did not get a good result, Yun Feng still believes that the marriage should be decided by himself.

Since Yunfeng agreed, Li Yan naturally didn't say anything.

Luo Yuxue said: "You guys go, I won't go." "She still has a lot of things to do, such as helping Yunfeng reply to the pavilions of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom and the Snow Country, and so on. Last night, Yun Feng read all the recent summons that Luo Yuxue received and expressed his opinion. Luo Yuxue had to reply to the two foreign mansions and pavilions in the manner of a royal decree according to Yun Feng's intentions. Yun Feng himself didn't have the patience to write any royal decrees.

Minghu and the others were about to select some elite guards to follow, but were stopped by Yun Pei, "No need. You see, we didn't have any guards. After all, it is a palace, and although the identity of today's master is more embarrassing, it is somewhat inconvenient for us to enter the palace with a guard with a sharp blade. Besides, inside the palace, do you still have to worry about your safety?"

When everyone thought about it, this was the truth. Bringing troops into the palace is too rude to the master's family.

As a result, only Yunfeng Liyan and Bai Rao participated on Yunfeng's side. Surrounded by a large group of sons and daughters of the five great families, they rushed to the palace lively. What made the nobles of each family vomit blood in anger was that Yun Feng Liyan was riding a phantom, and their mounts did not dare to approach at all. It's far away, who is the flattering eye to? Yunfeng's wood, just lowered his head and talked to Bai Rao, who never stopped talking to the calendar.

In the palace, a black shadow flashed, and a master with steps as light as a civet cat swept into a palace and said, "King Yun has left." ”

A low and grim voice came from the palace, "Do it." ”

The palace is large, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and is heavily defended.

A captain of the forbidden army leader suddenly saw a sergeant walking on the forest path with a little face, and shouted: "Stop." I don't think I've seen you. Which guard are you from, and how did you get here?"

The comer was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed down and bowed his hand, "Captain Qi, little ······." "Poof, poof, poof, poof, three times in a row, the lieutenant and his two attachés both had a poisonous arrow stuck in their necks. The strange sergeant bowed down, and the crossbow arrows equipped in his sleeve were fired at the right time, killing the three forbidden soldiers in an instant.

In addition to the strange sergeant, two others suddenly burst out from behind the trees, and without waiting for the dead to fall to the ground, the three quickly lifted the dead body and swept it into the woods. After a while, the 'captain' appeared with two more attachés and made his rounds.

The assassination was not limited to this one, as some of the sentry posts were scrubbed on their necks and dragged into the shadows to be stripped of their armor. As soon as some people get confused, an arrow is shot into their necks, and they become fools.

Yun Feng and his entourage entered the palace smoothly, and under the guidance of the palace eunuchs, they bypassed the important area and walked along the fence from the periphery to the back garden of the palace. It seems that Yangxiao invited a lot of people, probably the school-age children of the noble families in Zhongzhou, basically all of them were invited. Therefore, on this sandwich road with high walls on both sides, there is a flow of people and a tide of voices.

Or Yunfeng's killing reputation is too prosperous, or maybe it's an illusion

The deterrent power of the shadow, no one dared to approach him when he was a powerful child. Yun Feng happened to be at ease, he was not interested in having duplicity and boring greetings with a bunch of gentlemen.

After passing through a palace gate, a young eunuch suddenly stepped forward to stop Yun Feng, bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty of my family asks you to go for a while." ”

Yun Feng frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

The eunuch smiled bitterly, "How dare the slave ask?"

Yun Feng looked at the calendar. Liyan nodded. Both of them expected that Yang Xiao would have something to say to Yun Feng alone. With their skills, they are not afraid of ghosts. Yunfeng said lightly: "Lead the way." ”

The eunuch happily bowed his hand, "Thank you for your face." But can you walk? this, these two big guys, Your Majesty or ······. What he meant was that he was worried that the phantom would scare Yang Xiao, or that it would hurt Yang Xiao in case of a violent outburst.

In this regard, Yunfeng expressed his understanding, and jumped off the leopard's back hand in hand with Liyan. patted Yun Huan and asked him to continue to carry Bai Rao and walk with everyone.

The eunuch led the clouds and wind to the main hall of the inner palace of the palace.

Although Yun Feng and Li Yan have never entered the Yaoyang Palace, the architectural style of the palace in the world is basically the same. I wondered in my heart, is Yang Xiao preparing to meet him in the dormitory?

Along the main road of white jade, until he reached the palace gate, the eunuch pointed to the back, "Your Majesty is waiting for King Yun in that palace." Slaves can only send you here, where is the forbidden place for slaves and maids. ”

Yun Feng didn't doubt him, nodded casually, walked past the statue-like forbidden soldiers, passed through the white jade square, and walked towards the apse.

Walk in and look up, Jiaofang Palace. Yun Feng and Li Yan were shocked, isn't this the queen's residence? If Yang Xiao is already married, then there is nothing strange, Yang Xiao may entertain Yun Feng in the dormitory. But Yangxiao doesn't even have a concubine, let alone a queen. In other words, it was the residence of the first emperor and empress.

Before the two of them could figure it out, something even weirder would appear. In the Jiaofang Palace, a wild man actually walked out in a big way. Oh, a burly man with exuberant hair and a look like a savage. Behind him, a disheveled noblewoman was respectfully sending the 'wild man' out. The restless hand of the savage is still raging on the noblewoman.

Suddenly encountered, and both sides made a big jump. The high-pitched screams of the noblewoman pierced the tranquility of the inner palace, and she turned around and fled back to the palace, pushing the palace door hard.

The 'wild man' was furious, "Come on, cut it!" He first waved his palm and slashed at Yunfeng.

Yun Feng and Li Yan's first reaction was that they had been plotted, this was Yang Xiao, or someone else had led themselves here to assassinate under the guise of Yang Xiao. Since the other party made a move, it was naturally impossible for the two of them to be polite, and the vitality resonance was activated instantly, and they also slashed at the 'wild man' with one palm. Boom, lightning flashed, thunder erupted.

To Yun Feng's surprise, the opponent's skill was not high, but he was just a first-order cultivator. Yun Feng said that he didn't leave his hand in a move, but he directly shattered the opponent's body, and even the Jiaofang Hall was pushed halfway. Fortunately, there don't seem to be many palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the Jiaofang Palace. In the midst of the tumult, no screams came out.

At this moment, in the left and right side halls, two monks suddenly rushed out, accompanied by the screams of women.

As soon as the two monks saw that the 'wild man' was killed by Yunfeng Liyan, their eyes were split, and they didn't ask about 3721, they flew towards Yunfeng Liyan, and their murderous aura was soaring.

The cloud wind let out a long howl, and took Liyan's hand and flew up, Zhan Lu waved, and the wind and rain in all directions were used, and the dense vitality 'raindrops' flew to the two monks who attacked. The disparity in skill was too great, and the two monks suddenly died of death.

Hula. The gate of the palace that had passed earlier opened, and a large number of forbidden troops poured in. There are also many masters on the walls on both sides who cross the wall and enter the wall.

Yun Feng looked at it coldly, with these people wanting to keep themselves, is it possible?

Suddenly, Yun Feng's eyes widened, not because these forbidden troops did not attack him, but because the leader of the forbidden army, Yun Feng was too familiar.

"You, why are you here?"
