City of Light.

The Imperial Forest Iron Guard Iron Maple Forest blocked Qingqiu's sick path.

Qingqiu looked the other person up and down, this guy was wearing a snow-white uniform, like a moving corpse in a shroud.

"The Queen Mother has ordered that no one should disturb the court meeting. Tie Fenglin said.

"I'm just a little thing," Aooka took out the letterhead from his boot sickly, "This is a letter written by my father, the prime minister of the dynasty, with his prime minister's seal on it. ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't want anyone to disturb her. Tie Fenglin repeated it slowly, as if he was a fool when Qingqiu was sick and couldn't understand what he had just said.

Brother Qingqiu Youyong has said that the most dangerous character in the Imperial Forest Iron Guard is none other than Tie Fenglin - except for himself, of course - because this guy is expressionless and vicious.

Especially after Tie Fenglin's hand stepped into the dust, this guy was even more arrogant.

Qingqiu was ill and had to re-examine the situation.

If you really want to fight each other with swords, this person is certainly not the opponent of Long Wu or Heishi. But as soon as he entered the city, he slaughtered the guards of the little ghost head emperor, which is always not good-looking.

But then again, if Tie Fenglin is allowed to succeed like this, where should he put his ugly face?

So Qingqiu was sick and forced himself to smile. "Lord Tiewei, I don't think you have seen my two friends yet, this is Black Stone, a ruthless character in Black Wind Ridge, and this is Long Wu. Do you know Lord Taishi'an's righteous son, Taishi'en?"

"I know this man. Tie Fenglin's eyes were light gray, and his gaze was extremely dull and lifeless. "It is said that Tai Shi En is very good at two times. ”

"You know this guy who has a lot of two-heartedness is no longer alive. Long Wu smiled lightly and corrected him.

Tie Fenglin seemed to be deaf.

"Anyway," Qingqiu said briskly, "I'm just going to see my good sister, and by the way, I'll send this letter in, Lord Tiewei, can you please let me in?"

The guards were indifferent. Just when Qingqiu was sick and couldn't bear it anymore and was about to come hard, Tie Fenglin suddenly stood to the side. "You can go in, they can't. ”

Although there are twists and turns, there are finally gains. Qingqiu pushed open the door and walked into the hall, suddenly feeling taller.

The five important ministers who were originally discussing state affairs stopped one after another when they saw this. "It's you!" Sister Qingqiu Yourong's tone was half incredulous, and the other half was extremely disgusted.

"I finally know where I learned Huangfu Zhang's good manners. Qingqiu was sick and stopped, exuding complete confidence. If he shows a shrinking breath, he will definitely be caught by his sister keenly.

"What are you doing here?" his sister looked at him with those beautiful blue eyes, without a trace of emotion.

"Help our father deliver the letter. Qingqiu walked up to the desk with a black cane in his hand and threw a letter on the table.

Halder, the chief of the Ouchi, glanced at Qingqiu's illness like a little woman, and then stretched out his slender hands sprinkled with fat powder, picked up the letter and played with it in his hand. "Lord Qingqiu's spiritual power is so thoughtful, even the sealing wax is like yellow-orange-orange gold. Halder carefully examined the seal. "There is no doubt that this is a letter from the Prime Minister. ”

"Of course it's true. Qingqiu Yourong snatched it up, unsealed the wax, and unfolded the letterhead.

Qingqiu was sick and saw her read the letter. At this moment, his sister sat on the throne generously, and he guessed that Huang Fu Zhang was probably the same as Huang Fu Xiong, and rarely took care of the government.

Qingqiu was sick and shook his stump leg, and under the gaze of the five important ministers, he walked step by step to the vacant position of the prime minister, where Qingqiu's spiritual power should have stayed.

"How unreasonable!" Finally, the Empress Dowager Qingqiu Yourong finally spoke, "My father sent my younger brother into the palace to take over his duties, and he told us to regard Qingqiu's illness as the prime minister of the dynasty, and know that he will come back to personally go to the court to assist the government." ”

Master Wen Shanhe twisted his snow-white goatee, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "So reasonable, we have to officially welcome him." ”

"Exactly," said Halder, a master of the wind and the rudder, knowing that if he didn't speak, he would be passive. "There is a sick lord in Qingqiu, we just need you, now there are rebellions, there are fierce faces in the sky, and the streets and alleys of the city are ready to move......"

"Dare to ask whose fault is this? Where did all our samurai die?" said Qingqiu Yourong sharply, "As for you, Qingqiu is sick, and it must be more helpful for you to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." ”

Qingqiu smiled sickly. "No, no, no, I've killed enough enemies. Hey, it's a pity that the drums of war give me a headache, and the armor is about to be scorched by the sun, and as for the horses, they will everywhere! However, I shouldn't complain, compared to the hospitality received by the Lingxian Pavilion in Penglai Mountain, the sound of drums, horse manure and flies are all great favors. ”

Bai Jingting laughed: "Well said, Qingqiu is sick, what you said is really thorough." ”

Qingqiu smiled at him when he was sick, and remembered the assassination dagger. We have to find a time to talk about this matter as soon as possible, I don't know if Bai Jingting will find it interesting then. "So," he said to the people, "let me be of paramount service, even if it is a small matter." ”

Qingqiu Yourong read the letter again. "How many people did you bring?"

"There are hundreds of them, mostly my own people. My father said that he would not transfer manpower to anything, anyway, he was fighting after all. ”

"If Huangfu Yun's soldiers are coming to the city, what is the use of your hundreds of people? I want an army, and my father actually sent a cripple. The prime minister is chosen by the king and can only be appointed with the consent of the ministers. It was our father who appointed him. ”

"And my father appointed me. ”

He had no right to do so unless he had the king's consent. ”

"If you want to question your father personally, he is now leading his troops outside the Golden City. Qingqiu was sick and said politely, "Ladies and gentlemen, can you allow me and my sister to talk a few words in private?"

Halder slid to his feet, smiling with his usual flattering flattery. "Presumably, your sister and brother have a deep affection. Ladies and gentlemen, how about we let them get together for a while? ”

Although Bai Jingting hesitated a little, Wen Shanhe faltered, and got up in the end.

"My lord, do you want me to clean up a few rooms for you first?" said Halder, without losing any time.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm going to live in the same place that Lord Buyangchen used to live in. Qingqiu said that he was sick.

Bai Jingting said with a smile: "Qingqiu is sick, you are much more courageous than me. You should know what happened to the first two prime ministers who lived there, right?"

"You want to scare me, why don't you just say four?"

"Four?" Bai Jingting raised his eyebrows. "Could it be that the two prime ministers before Zhu Shihai also met with accidents there? I'm afraid I was too young to pay much attention to it. ”

"I am afraid that this is true, and I suspect that when the former prime minister of the sea was killed, he did not have time to move there, for he had only been in office for fourteen days, and two of them were stripped of their domains and titles, and died in exile, and died with nothing. I believe that my father was the last prime minister to leave the city of light. "Qingqiu is sick and reads a lot, and he knows a lot about the past.

"It's really interesting," Bai Jingting said, "I still think it's safer to sleep in the dungeon." ”

Maybe you will get your wish, Qingqiu thought in his heart, but said: "No matter what kind of curse the prime minister of this empire has suffered, I hope that I, an ugly ghost, can escape its clutches." ”

Several people laughed and retreated.

"My father sent you all the way to give us a history lesson. After the others left, Qingqiu Yourong shouted.

"Don't you know how deep our brother-sister relationship is?" Qingqiu sighed to her sickly.

"You don't know how much I want to pull out the eunuch's tongue with hot pliers. "Qingqiu has room to fight back. "Father is confused, or did you forge the letter?" she read the letter again, and the more she read it, the more angry she became. "Why did he throw you here, I want him to come over himself. Qingqiu Yourong rubbed his hands and rubbed his father's letter. "I am the regent of the Empire, and I have decreed against him. ”

"As a result, he ignored you," Qingqiu pointed out sickly, "and he has a heavy army, so he naturally has nothing to fear." He's not the first person to disobey you anyway, is he?"

"If I say that this letter is false, and send you to the dungeon, I assure you, no one will dare to disobey me. ”

Qingqiu is sick and knows that he is walking on thin ice at the moment, and if he stumbles slightly, he will never recover.

"It is true," he agreed, cordially, "but why did you throw me into the dungeon when I had traveled all the way and worked tirelessly to help you?"

"I don't want you to help, I only order my father to go to court by order. ”

"Really?" said Aooka calmly, "Are you sure you're just letting your father come back?"

Qingqiu grew up with this sister since he was a child, and he had already made her temperament clear, and it was as easy to read the expression on her face as it was to read his favorite book, and at the moment he read anger, fear, and despair. "Brave and ......"

"He's my own brother. Qingqiu was sick and interrupted her, "As long as you support me, I promise you that I will let Qingqiu Youyong return safely." ”

"How is this possible?" Qingqiu Yourong asked him rhetorically, "That kid and his mother of the Buyang family won't forget that we cut off Bu Yangchen's head." ”

"Indeed," Qingqiu agreed, "but you still have his two daughters in your hands, right, I saw that sister with Huangfu Zhang just now." ”

"That's Bu Yanglin," said the Queen Mother, "and I claim that her wild sister is also in our hands, but that's not the case." Even Halder's little sparrow has no news of her, and I think eighty percent of them have died in the war. ”

"One at all. "Qingqiu is sick and sees that half of the chips are missing, and he is helpless. "Tell me, what's going on with our important ministers?"

My sister glanced towards the gate. "What's wrong with them?"

"My father didn't like them. When I left, he also said: I should really cut off the heads of these guys, plug them in, and hang them on the wall side by side with Bu Yangchen's heads. Qingqiu leaned over to his sister when he was sick, "Are you sure they can be trusted?

"I don't trust anyone," Aooka reprimanded, "but I need them." Father thinks they have bad intentions?"

"Not only my father, but I also had deep doubts. ”

"Why? What evidence do you have?"

Qingqiu shrugged helplessly. "You must know that your son has not been king for a few days, and he has caused too many troubles to count. But to behead Bu Yangchen to deal with this matter, is it really the meaning of Huangfu Zhang?"

Qingqiu Yourong frowned: "I told him carefully, according to my arrangement, he should have opened the net and made concessions to go to the penal colony." In this way, not only will there be no trouble, but it is not impossible to negotiate peace with his son. As a result, what can I do as a result? He really said that the whole city would behead the traitor, and Tie Fenglin was even more impatient, and he happily complied, without asking me at all. I can't get the king to take back his mandate in public. ”

"That's right," Qingqiu said sickly, "So, this Iron Maple Forest has a share?" tell me, who came up with such a brilliant idea to make this guy the commander of the Iron Guard of the Royal Forest?"

"Bai Jingting arranged it. We almost lost all the games at the beginning, but now it seems that although the danger has been saved, we have also won a thrilling victory, if it weren't for Bu Yanglin running to me and revealing his father's plan and plan......"

Qingqiu was surprised by his illness, "Really?

"This little girl is just beginning to fall in love, and she just hopes to be with Huangfu Zhang, so that she is willing to do anything. She also wrote letters to her people asking them to swear allegiance. Unexpectedly, Zhang'er actually cut off her father's head, and called this 'mercy', and then her dream of love was shattered. ”

"Haha, Your Majesty, the way he won love is really unique. Qingqiu grinned sickly, "Removing Zhang Wuzu from the Imperial Forest Iron Guard must also be Huangfu Zhang's idea?"

Qingqiu Yourong sighed: "The new emperor ascended the throne, and Halder proposed to take Zhang Wuzu to open the knife, which is not bad, once the son of heaven and a courtier, at least it is also to kill chickens and monkeys, and let other courtiers weigh their own heads." ”

"I heard that two fools were sent to arrest him, but they were slaughtered by this old man, Zhang Wuzu. ”

My sister looked displeased, "Tie Fenglin should send more people, his ability to do things is really not as expected." ”

"Zhang Wuzu is the captain of the Imperial Forest Iron Guard, and he is the only one of the original Moyi Family Iron Guards who survived in the world. When the people talk about him, they are full of love. If he meets us on the battlefield in the future, which side do you think the people's hearts will lean?"

Qingqiu Yourong looked away, "I didn't expect this layer." ”

"My father thought of it," said Aoqiu, who was sick, "so he sent me to put an end to these ridiculous farces and make my little nephew obedient." ”

"Zhang'er doesn't even listen to me, and he won't listen to you. ”

"Not necessarily?"

"Why should he listen to you?

"He doesn't listen to you because he's so sure that you love him and won't hurt him, sister. And I, he's probably not so sure. ”

Qingqiu Yourong narrowed his eyes, "If you think I'm going to let you bully my son, then you're really sick." ”

Qingqiu sighed, as before, this woman couldn't grasp the point at all when she heard what people said.

"Zhang'er is as safe with me as she is with you," Qingqiu assured his sister of illness, "but even if I scare him, it's just to make him less messy." Anyway, if your son wants to keep that ugly iron chair, he needs me. ”

"Well, it's worth a try...... However, Qingqiu is ill, don't make a mistake, I accept you, but you are only the prime minister in name, and you must consult with me in advance about your plans and intentions before you take any action. You can't act without my consent, do you understand?"

"Queen Mother, I hear it clearly. ”

"Do you agree?"

"Couldn't agree more!" Aooka was sick and sure he had lied. "My sister, I am at your disposal. "Unless your dispatch is in line with my wishes, Qingqiu is sick and thinks to himself.

Qingqiu Yourong nodded, as if he reluctantly acquiesced to the fact that Qingqiu was sick as the prime minister.

"Now that the matter has been settled, I have to take my leave. Aooka twisted one leg and tossed awkwardly from the chair.

Qingqiu Yourong frowned, "Don't go." I want to know what you're going to do to get your brother back. ”

"When I figure it out, I'll tell you. Stratagem is like liquor, it must be brewed. Now, I'm going to ride out into the streets and get acquainted with what the city of Light is like now. Qingqiu was sick and dragged his stump to the door, turned back to his sister and said, "No matter what, don't give in to the eldest daughter of the Yang family, if the two daughters are gone, then your Qingqiu Yong will be really troublesome." ”

Out of the council hall, Qingqiu nodded to Tie Fenglin and walked through the long vaulted hall.

Long Wu followed, and the black stone was nowhere to be seen. "Where did our black charcoal head go?" asked Qingqiu sickly.

He wanted to look around, but he didn't have the patience to stand here and wait. ”

"I hope he doesn't kill any important people in the palace. "Qingqiu is sick, since these natives swore allegiance to him, they know very well that these people do not understand the rules and are difficult to restrain them. "Find a way to find him, and by the way, make sure everyone else has a place to eat and live. ”

"Where are you going?" asked Ryugo.

"Wander around. ”

Long Wu laughed unscrupulously: "Do you need an escort, I heard that the security in the city is worrying." ”

"I'll call my sister's captain of the guard, and remind him by the way that I'm also a member of the Qingqiu family. I was away from home a little bit longer and these guys forgot about that. ”

Half an hour later, under the escort of a dozen or so guards with green cloaks on their shoulders and embroidered with a thousand-faced green fox emblem on their clothes, Qingqiu rode a sick horse into the street.

As he passed through the gate, he noticed that the human heads hanging from the walls, though soaked in asphalt, had long since rotted and blackened and were unrecognizable.

"Captain Otter," Aoqiu called out to one of the fellows sickly, "before dark, take these heads off and clean them up yourself." "Although it is difficult to re-match the head with the body, Qingqiu knows that this move is of great significance.

Captain Otter hesitated. "Your Majesty said that he would hang the traitor's head on the wall, until the last two empty robberies were filled. ”

"Let me guess, one is reserved for Bu Yangfei, and the other is Lord Huangfu Yun, right?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Otter, my nephew is only fourteen years old this year, please remember. Tomorrow if I see these heads still on them, one of the empty guns will certainly not be empty. You know what I mean, Captain?"

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand, and my subordinates will do so. ”

"Good. "Qingqiu was sick and afraid of hitting the horses, so he rode his horse forward and let the green-robed guards behind him follow on their own.

really entered the city, Qingqiu was sick and found that the originally familiar Guangming City seemed unfamiliar.

The streets of Bright City had always been bustling and noisy, but at the moment it was full of dangers that he had never seen before. On the side of the road, a corpse lay naked in a ditch, being bitten by a pack of wild dogs, but no one cared.

Two pairs of golden-robed guards can be seen everywhere, wearing black chain mail, patrolling the streets and alleys, and never leaving their iron rods.

The market was full of ragged people who sold their property, and if someone would make an offer, they would sell.

And the few food stalls that sell food ask for five times the usual price!

"Could it be that there is no food to transport into the city?" Qingqiu was sick and was the captain of the guard.

"Poor few," replied the captain of the guard, "there have been many wars in the south, and Lord Huangfu Yun has rebelled in the southwest, and now all roads are blocked. ”

Qingqiu was speechless for a while, knowing that if this continued, Guangming City would be a dead city with no appearance.

He couldn't help but think of a proverb: the king eats, the prime minister.

Hey, what's the solution?

finally became the acting prime minister, but faced such an unbearable situation.

Where do we go from here?
