"Everyone in the world knows that the princess is jealous and afraid of the prime minister, but that day she spoke out against the prime minister, this matter is very big, the whole palace knows, the entire Shangjing City is boiling, and it is the queen who came forward to end the matter. However, this seems to confirm the rumors that it is not all groundless. Gonggong Hong said in a low voice, trying to explain to Lin Wan'er what happened in the capital as simply and clearly as possible.

Lin Wan'er listened carefully, her eyes fell on Zhao Gan's body in front of her, according to Gonggong Hong's speculation, things were very reasonable, but she felt that some things were not very reasonable, could it be that Pan Renmei and Pan Meimei really harmed the scholars?

"The queen mother returned to heaven, the scholar died violently, the two things are too close, and the imperial court can deal with it quickly, because there is His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the dragon chair, but the most terrifying and puzzling thing of the whole thing happened, His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been healthy, died suddenly, which can be said to be a thing without warning at all."

"Miss Wan'er, after all, the old slave is just a martial artist, and some things are just speculation, and they can't be inferred at all, so the following words are said by the old slave, and you have the right to listen to it. After His Majesty's death, there were a few things that were too strange to be reasonable. The first is that the transition of the imperial court is too smooth, without any resistance, and the second prince will successfully supervise the country, which is a good thing, but there is no bloodshed and sacrifice of the right to change, which is incomprehensible, and even the prince Hai next to His Majesty has successfully become the personal guard of the second prince. Second, the death of His Majesty, the return of the Queen Mother, and the violent death of the scholar were hidden, and the court knew about it. However, a holy decree was issued, and anyone was strictly ordered to spread it, and there were many gossips in the streets. The imperial court was never strictly regulated. The third ......" Speaking of the third, Gonggong Hong was suddenly silent for a long time, not knowing whether to talk about it or not, and finally he sighed and said: "This third article is the most weird, not only the old slave, but even the people around the queen can see and perceive it." But I can't figure it out, that is, His Majesty has died, and the queen is not very sad. The world knows the relationship between His Majesty and the Empress. It stands to reason that the queen should be the saddest. Let's not say this for the time being, from another point of view, with the queen's clever methods and aggressive attitude in charge of the harem for many years. He has long been familiar with the ways of the imperial court. Even if she looks like she should make a grief-stricken appearance, but the queen is not sad, at least there is no sign of sadness on the surface, as if to convey a message to the people around her. ”

"Hey, now in the capital, this court looks calm, and it is really calm, and the court goes to court every day. The civil and military officials performed their duties in an orderly manner. It is this true peace that makes those who are in it feel terrified and uneasy. I always feel that things will suddenly explode and go to an extreme situation. ”

"In addition, there is one thing that has to be mentioned, that is, there are three masters who suddenly appear in Shangjing, one is Han Chong, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, is a master of using a knife, and now the Imperial Forest Army is carrying a customized long embroidered winter knife, according to the eyes of the old slave, this Han Chong, who has a calm breath and a steady pace, should use a long knife. The second is a young man with a sword who suddenly appeared next to the second prince, this young man is handsome, and he wears five short swords, he has a smile on his face on weekdays, and his shot is extraordinary, the old slave only saw him draw the sword once, and the sword was full of qi like Hong Zhong Dalu, unlike a child of his age who could use it. The last one is the most mysterious, masked and covered his face, and there are always many people in black behind him, and his breath is mysterious and hidden, like a black hole. ”

"The Man in Black?" Lin Wan'er thought of the group of black-clothed people who entered Xiliang, could it be related to the masked man.

Gonggong Hong squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the palace, and there was some uncertainty about the situation in his heart: "According to the reason, the masters of the world should already be known to the world, and their respective characteristics are also known to each other. That's all there is to it. ”

Gonggong Hong has never been to Xiliang, and he doesn't care about the situation in Xiliang, but Li Mubai has experienced the civil strife in the palace and knows the master of Xiliang: "In addition to what Gonggong Hong said, there is also a Yang Tingxiong in Xiliang who entered the Tao from books and took another unique routine. If the Haiqing, Chonglou, and Xia Lan of the Sword Pavilion can break through and stand up, there is also hope to step into the first-class realm. ”

"As Li Gongzi said, the world's masters raised their fingers and said that there were fifteen people who had bent and humbled, but the above masters were all traceable, even if they had not seen the shot, they were also famous, but the three masters around the second prince were like falling from the sky, and they had never heard of it before, let alone heard of it. Three super-first-class masters, regardless of power and fame, have been hidden for so long, it makes people scary to think about it. Gonggong Hong said in a low voice.

"Old Hong, how do the three masters you said compare to Lao Bai?" Lin Wan'er opened her mouth and asked, she was very concerned about whether Li Mubai could defeat those people, this was the key to the matter.

"Miss Wan'er, the master's moves are the same as the battlefield battle, pay attention to knowing oneself and knowing the other, and will not be defeated in a hundred battles. On the rivers and lakes, there are often situations where a stunned young man who has just emerged defeats a famous master, not because of his clever methods, but because he often makes some nonsensical unreasonable moves, making people unable to start and losing in a daze. Gonggong Hong shook his head and said, stretched out his hand and pointed to Han Zhong not far in front of him, "This person and Li Gongzi have made a move, it is not a battle of life and death, and he will not lose within a hundred moves, the young man with a sword next to the second prince will draw within two hundred moves, and he doesn't have to worry about winning or losing, because that young man's shot is life and death, regardless of winning or losing." As for the most mysterious old man with a face, the old slave didn't know. ”

"The power struggle in the imperial court has changed, there is no matter of these masters, they can't decide the direction of the overall trend of development, but more masters around them can always add to the scene, get twice the result with half the effort, and do things more easily. So back then, the barrier fought to the death, and the horse master resisted alone"

Lin Wan'er let out a long sigh. A little worried about how Zhao Gan, who was alone, could confront the second prince, she always felt that the so-called palace fights and conspiracies were far away from her, and Zhao Gan's lazy character didn't care who the imperial power fell on. But now she knows that some things can't be left alone.

If you look at the usual drama of fighting for power and profit, the most terrifying ability in the whole process is the second prince Zhao Shuo, if you speculate from the perspective of conspiracy theories, you can do so many things calmly and silently, and still have full control of the situation, his scheming and forbearance. and the ability to control the whole situation is terrifying.

"If Your Majesty is still in the world, then everything will be easy to do, and Your Majesty is the world's god of the sea. Whether it is the checks and balances of the Zhenbei Army and the Xiliang Army, or the constraints of the prime ministers and scholars in the court, they all rely on the adjustment and weighing of His Majesty. It's the dragon, you give me a nest. It is precisely because of the presence of His Majesty. There are so many heroes in the Great Wei Kingdom who can take charge of themselves alone, and only then will they be able to keep to themselves. His Majesty's earth-shattering courage and eloquence far surpass the previous emperors, and the most rare thing is that His Majesty does not have the cold-blooded and cold of the previous monarchs, and looks at everything from the feelings, rather than weighing the pros and cons everywhere, His Majesty is not only a good king, but also a good father. "Gonggong Hong is a little emotional, nostalgic for that kind and benevolent Majesty, a pivotal figure who can really influence the world.

Lin Wan'er was also a little emotional, she suddenly remembered the fourth prince Zhao Ting. opened his mouth and asked, "Elder Hong, how is the fourth prince Zhao Ting now?" ”

"The Four Princes?" Gonggong Hong sighed. "The fourth prince, he is very smart, but also a little chilling, after the incident, he hid in the room to study the history books, more than usual, and didn't care about the things around him. The princess went to discuss with him how to prevent the three princes from entering the capital, and the four princes all prevaricated. Her Royal Highness the angry princess also beat the four princes with a broom. ”

Lin Wan'er frowned, Zhao Ting's reaction was too strange, there must be something greasy in it, if you can see him, you must ask carefully.

The carriage suddenly jolted, the gate of the palace Chengtianmen had arrived, and the guards were obviously stricter than when Lin Wan'er left the capital, and the guards all changed into heavy embroidered winter knives, looking at the people coming and going with expressionless faces.

Zhao Qian jumped down from the horse, turned his head to look at Lin Wan'er not far behind him, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally shook his head and shouted: "Wan'er, go back, I'll face the rest alone." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and strode towards the depths of the palace, the wind and snow fell behind him, blowing his clothes, at this moment, Lin Wan'er realized that Zhao Qian was so thin, she also followed in, and was stopped by the guards.

In the palace for many years, Gonggong Hong took out the waist card and let the guards go, which is also something that Gonggong Hong doesn't understand, the second prince controls the court, and does not revoke the previous waist card, the palace changes hands, the first thing to change is the previous rules, change the waist card password, but the second prince did not, still act like before.

Lin Wan'er chased after him and shouted at Zhao Gan's back, "I won't leave." In your previous life, you abandoned me, is there something unspeakable, do you want to leave me for the same reason again in this life? Impossible, I tell you, absolutely impossible! ”

Zhao Qian suddenly stopped, his shoulders trembled suddenly, like a wounded lion, sadness and anger were beyond reason, he turned around suddenly, his eyes were red, he looked at Lin Wan'er in the distance and roared: "No, I didn't abandon you, it's you, it's you who abandoned me!" Lin Wan'er, get out, I don't want to see you again. ”

His words pierced Lin Wan'er's heart like thorns, still as ruthless as before the crossing, she suddenly felt weakness in her limbs, as if someone had hollowed out her spirit, and collapsed to the ground.

Zhao Qian continued to move forward ruthlessly, and in front of him was the Chengqian Palace, the steps were ninety-nine to one to eighty-one, the surrounding area was vast and silvery, and the heavy snow covered the palace, covering the eaves of the palace, and covering all the truth.

In the year of the Suzaku Gate incident, Xu Xiao stabbed His Majesty with a knife, and later this knife was infected, His Majesty passed out, that is, lying in the Chengqian Palace, the ten dead soldiers killed in the palace until the front of the Chengqian Palace, and the official body of the highly poisonous General Xiahou broke the heavenly net of the ten dead soldiers with a knife, and now the reincarnation is still the same, His Majesty is lying in the Chengqian Palace again, quiet and abnormal, but things are not people, and the things of other days and today's things are also worlds apart.

Zhao Qian stepped on the steps, walked very steadily, he no longer cared about Lin Wan'er behind him, and thought about the Chengqian Hall step by step, at this moment he suddenly became very calm, no matter what he was facing, he finally had the opportunity to face it.

He came to this world like Lin Wan'er, he was insensitive to everything around him, and stayed out of the matter, Lin Wan'er wanted to escape and prepared the baggage, but was left by the eyes of several brothers outside the door, and since then she has regarded them as brothers and taken care of them wholeheartedly. And Zhao Gan was also surrounded by the warmth of a home, so he chose to stay and became the third prince Zhao Gan.

At this time, in front of the high Chengqian Palace, the second prince in a bright yellow dragon robe slowly appeared, with one hand in front and the other behind.

Next to him was the queen and the princess Pan Meimei, the queen's face was calm, there was a deep hidden joy on Pan Meimei's eyebrows, and then behind him were Rou Jia and Zhao Ting, Rou Jia's eyes were disappointed, third brother, why didn't you leave, Zhao Ting frowned, and sighed very shallowly.

And on the outermost periphery, there was a young man with a smile on his face and five swords tied to his waist, he looked up at Li Mubai not far away, and his smile was thicker and deeper.

The second prince, Zhao Shuo, is no longer the forbearant and gentle second prince, but the de facto ruler of this court, and he has an indescribable majesty and momentum on his body. Looking down at his third brother condescendingly, he was expressionless, took three steps forward gently, and said indifferently: "Third brother, you are finally back." ”

Lin Wan'er, who was sitting on the ground, looked up, in the wind and snow, the bright yellow color disappeared, and the others also turned to leave, she saw Zhao Qian's hazy figure disappear from the field of vision, this parting was like life and death.

Li Mubai walked behind Lin Wan'er, took off his clothes and put them on her, and stood quietly behind her waiting, like a stone statue, Lin Wan'er waited here for as long as he could.

Suddenly, a dexterous flying sword broke through the wind and snow and appeared in front of Lin Wan'er, the flying sword was as fast as thunder, without a trace of emotion, the flying sword was a hundred steps, and the sword qi was already as thick as thunder, rolling up countless pieces of snow, confusing people's eyes.

Li Mubai's eyes widened, and he appeared in front of the flying sword, his fingers were together, looking at the strange whereabouts in his eyes, more and more sword shadows, and slowly closed his eyes. (To be continued.) )
