Zhang was speechless for a moment. Tong Guan raised his voice and asked, "Prime Minister Zhang, what do you want to say? Did you happen to pass by a room in the deep mountains and old forests after I left? Or could you be like Lord Shao and learn the news of Lin Jingjing's death in advance?" Or did Prime Minister Zhang know about Lin Jingjing's death the whole time?"

Zhang Dian smiled reluctantly: "Father-in-law Tong misunderstood, I don't know about this matter, but it's just speculation." ”

"Don't know?" Tong Guan's eyes were like knives, and his smile was as cold as a frost flower blooming at the bottom of the ice cave, "Then Prime Minister Zhang, how did you learn the news that Lin Jingyu is dead?"

The Queen Mother looked thoughtfully at the front, Liu Anshi stared at Zhang Dian with burning eyes, and Shao Bowen smiled. Everyone present had different thoughts, and in this short silence they bloomed like a hundred flowers.

And the meticulousness of Zhang's mind and the speed of his reaction are by no means beyond the reach of others. Since everyone was waiting for his answer, he naturally had to give an unassailable answer. His brow furrowed, his eyes fluctuating like the waves of the ocean churning up and down, it was he who was speeding through his mind to think of a countermeasure, only to pause for a round and a half, and his mind returned from the end of time to the present. He laughed—a very experienced senior, and laughed helplessly because of the ignorance of his juniors.

Zhang Dian said with a smile: "The old minister once envied Gonggong Tong's appearance to be ageless, but now it seems that it is not necessary. Why does Father-in-law Tong's brain seem to be following Father-in-law Tong for a long time. Lao Chen lived so big, he was not afraid of anything else, and he and his friends went to the edge of the cliff to pick flowers. But what Lao Chen is most afraid of is that his brain like Father-in-law Tong is not bright......"

Tong Guan said: "How do you say this, Prime Minister Zhang?"

Zhang Dian showed a mouthful of yellowed teeth: "How can the old minister remember that this Lin Jingzhen was ordered to be executed when he left the palace for the first time that year?"

The Queen Mother's eyes froze, and then she smiled bitterly and closed her eyes.

Tong Guan squinted his eyes and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, are you mistaken, he has stayed in his room for so many years, and when I passed, he had just died not long ago." I'm sure it's Lin Jingzhen himself. ”

"Really?" said Zhangdun slowly, "so it seems that the old minister's memory from many years ago went wrong. That can only be done from now on. Now it seems that when the emperor has an accident, the most suspicious is the queen. For the queen, our queen mother has always disliked it very much, and now it seems that the queen mother's judgment is not bad at all. It is such a heinous person, so Lin Jingzhen saved her life, so isn't it normal to be counted as guilty and executed? Lin Jingzhen should have been executed at that time, even if he was alive, it was a fluke to be able to live until now, but the sin is still unforgivable. When will he die, what's the matter?"

Tong Guan frowned. It's a good concept of stealing, and it's reasonable, it's not unreasonable, and it directly pointed the finger at the Queen Mother. And the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, Tong Guan, the most important thing now is the emperor's safety." What is the situation of the emperor? Has it improved? Has it remained the same?"

"Leave it as it is", for the emperor, is already the best result. The decay of his body was going on and on, from his limbs to his heart, from the minutiae to the complete collapse of the axis. He could live for a moment longer if he stopped, for danger was approaching his fatal point at every moment, and no one could do anything about him. This desire is really humble, and everyone knows that the Queen Mother is only hoping for a miracle now. People always hope that miracles will happen to the people and things they love, but miracles never distinguish between good and evil, so things often backfire.

Tong Guan hurriedly walked over, bent down, and lowered to a position where the Queen Mother could hear his voice clearly, and said: "Queen Mother, after the little girl came to the emperor's side, she immediately began to treat the emperor, and outsiders were not allowed to enter and exit at will, and it was useless for people to stay, so the slave came out." ”

"I said, why do you tell you to stare at people, but you came out all of a sudden, and the mourning family thought something was wrong. It's just that you came out alone, leaving those minions, is there really no problem? From the perspective of the mourning family, none of the people in this palace are as smart and clever as you, and the mourning family is not very relieved if you are not there. However, since you said so, that's it, it's good for you to accompany the mourning family, the mourning family is thinking about you. As she spoke, she reached out and stroked the top of Tong Guan's head.

Tong Guan smiled and lowered his head, let the Queen Mother stroke his soft black hair, and said slowly: "At this point, please rest assured that the Queen Mother is." ”

Zhang Dian said: "Little girl...... It is a pity that Lin Jingjing's descendants have only one daughter. How did he teach his daughter these things, so that she would have to come to the palace to suffer at this moment. Pity. ”

The Queen Mother said indifferently: "Whether it is a boy or a daughter, they are their own flesh and blood, and they are all people who can inherit their will." At this point, the mourning family just heard what General Wang said, and they barely figured it out, and it can be regarded as untying the knot in the mourning family. The mourning family itself has no heirs, but the emperor and the princes are all descendants of the mourning family, and the mourning family has long been enjoying these, so there is no need to entangle. If you want to say that you are guilty, you can't blame the mourning family completely, it is really a lawless way, it is fate. ”

"How can it be the queen mother's fault? Everything is for the emperor, the minister said he understood very much. Tong Guan said, "But speaking of which, the Queen Mother, shouldn't the emperor's bedroom be here? Before that, he had been resting and treating here, where is he now?"

The Queen Mother said: "The emperor is in a very safe place, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"How can the minister not be worried? The minister thinks that a safe place must be warm and bright, not some cold, damp, and dark place to suffer. No matter how sick the emperor is, he has to see the sunshine. Do you think that's the truth, Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother's expression changed imperceptibly. She paused and said, "The emperor is very good, you don't have to worry, step back first, Prime Minister Zhang." It's not early today, you can rest first. ”

There was some subtle tension in the atmosphere. Liu Anshi broke out in a cold sweat, Shao Bowen was calm as if nothing had happened, and Tong Guan was staring at Zhang Dun. And Zhang Dian is the most leisurely and self-confident one.

He took a step forward with a smile and said, "If you say this, the old minister won't believe it." If you really have a clear conscience, why not take the old minister to meet him. The old minister also wanted to say a few words to the emperor. If something really happens to the emperor, then the old minister, as the prime minister of the dynasty, is so timely-"

"There's no need. The Queen Mother interrupted him very dryly.

However, Zhang Duan didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, he was already very close to the Queen Mother, and he kept walking forward, until Tong Guan stopped in front of him, his hand slapped on his shoulder, like a loud sound like steel and iron bones, he said angrily: "Don't you understand, Zhang Dian, the Queen Mother told you to stop!"

"The Queen Mother didn't let me stop, the Queen Mother just said that it was not necessary. The pain made Zhang Dian more clear and mean, and he sneered, "But, why is it not necessary? Queen Mother, it's good for you to wake up and listen to the old minister's advice." Is the emperor completely unconscious? So what is the difference between the emperor and a dead man at this moment?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that her hands trembled with her voice, she looked at Tong Guan and pointed at Zhang Dian with her hand and said: "Zhang Tun, you are so bold, dare to curse the emperor, what crime should you be guilty of!"

"What is the crime of the minister?" Zhang Dian raised his head proudly and said in a loud voice, "The minister just told the truth that the queen mother did not want to face! Queen mother, don't forget, how the Huayang Sect signed a contract with the royal family back then, if it disobeyed its needs, it would be doomed." Now that the results have been revealed, is the Queen Mother still trying to deceive herself?"

Tong Guan knocked him to the ground, bang, click, click, Zhang Dian's bones made a clattering sound, he gasped, laughed, and said in a loud voice: "Queen Mother, you hurt the emperor with your own strength, do you still want to destroy this palace and destroy Bianjing?"

The Queen Mother shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about, Zhang Dian, you are crazy! Tong Guan, reward him with a slap!"

Tong Guan immediately pulled Zhang Dian up from the ground, and slapped Zhang Dian in the face with all his strength, pop! A yellow tooth flew out, and a thin pillar of blood was thrown out. The more Zhang Dian hurts, the more he laughs, and there is a crazy look on his old face, which is just like his favorite Shen Wang Zhao Yan: "Queen Mother, the minister is not crazy, the minister's memory is very good, but the Queen Mother you have forgotten! If the monarch's body begins to 'decay', it is time to elect the next emperor." Otherwise, the punishment of the Huayang Sect will come! It will not only be the disappearance of the prince, but not only the emperor's offense, but when the time comes, the anger may spread to the entire Bianjing City, and the minister has not forgotten this!"

The Queen Mother sneered: "You actually believe such rumors? Or become the prime minister, I think you have gained some kind of madness, who gave you benefits, the emperor respects you, the mourning family doesn't care about you, you really think that you are a powerful character, everyone in the world has to listen to your orders, isn't it?"

Zhang Duan suddenly raised his head, lowered his voice, and said calmly: "Queen Mother—— it's windy outside again." ”

The Queen Mother was puzzled by this unclear referent. She frowned, and said, "What? It's normal for the wind to blow in winter—"

Suddenly, the wind outside the house was fierce, pulling at the branches and roots of the trees as if they were pulling at the hair of a man, tearing them up to the roots, and the few leaves that remained were falling straight down, and the howling wind was like a rag, and the snow outside the door was swept into the air, and everything that could be overturned was overturned, and even the screams of the guards were drowned out by the sharp loud noise, leaving only a great scream of misery like a wolf's howl. Then, the wind turned and swooped towards the gate, bang, bang, click, the two rows of sharp teeth of the door lock were also hit by the wind and trembled, and gradually they could not support it, bang! The door was slammed open by the strong wind, and the wind roared and ran, whew, whew, whew, whew, whew, w

Tong Guan and Liu Anshi subconsciously rushed to the door, trying to close the open door as much as possible, this unbelievably huge wind was almost killing!

Both of them are martial arts practitioners, one of the martial arts is heavier and deeper, and the other is light and flexible, so it is not a left and a right, but a up and down to the door! Liu Anshi pushed forward with two palms, ten fingers back, and pushed back the wide open double doors to the original place; Tong Guan's palm is a combination of rigidity and softness, extremely cathode and ruthless, the force of the gate is inside, and a strong thrust is derived from the inside, which is a momentum generated by the door itself from the inside out. In this way, the two forces went hand in hand, and the door closed in response.

The cold wind continued to howl outside, howling like a wolf.

The Queen Mother's eyes widened. Zhang Dian frowned. Shao Bowen watched all this calmly and thoughtfully.

And Tong Guan and Liu Anshi were both half-kneeling on the ground, one panting slightly and the other panting.

Tong Guan was shocked and said: "What a strong wind! If it weren't for Mr. Liu's martial arts, I'm afraid this door wouldn't be closed." ”

Liu Anshi said in a cold sweat: "Thanks to Gonggong Tong's martial arts, this door can stabilize the body without any damage, otherwise, I am afraid that my strength and the power of the outside world will fight each other, and the door will suffer, but it will be useless!"

Shao Bowen said: "So, the combined strength of the two of you can barely block this gust of wind?"

Liu Anshi nodded.

Shao Bowen sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's 'the wind just now'." ”

The Queen Mother was startled, stared at Shao Bowen, and repeated: "The wind just now?

Shao Bowen bowed and said, "Empress Dowager Qiqi, when the two of us were imprisoned in the house just now, there was a little commotion outside. We could hear what seemed to be the sound of a tornado, but it was only far away, and there was no sign of approaching. After a while, the wind died down. And the wind at this moment is the same as then. ”

The Queen Mother reacted immediately and muttered, "Ah...... Truly. At that time, the mourning family thought that the entire palace was invaded by this storm, and thought to themselves what should be done. But after escaping, I realized that it was only a small storm. Wait, if you say that this wind is the wind just now......" Her voice trembled a little.

"Queen Mother. Zhang Duan looked at the snowstorm outside the door and said in a deep voice, "It is difficult for a person to successfully escape from a snowstorm twice. This is not an ordinary storm, but it has its own 'power' and 'thought', and it comes from the handiwork of the Huayang Sect! No one can escape the wrath of the Huayang Sect, Queen Mother!"

When the Queen Mother was silent for a short time, Tong Guan glanced at Zhang Dian and said coldly: "Prime Minister Zhang, now when the 100,000 are in a hurry, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of the Queen Mother, what are you laughing at?"

"I laughed? I didn't laugh. I just want to live. Zhang Dian turned his head, a mouthful of yellow teeth grinning like a vague crescent moon, "Queen Mother, do you have to wait until this inescapable time before you are willing to do what I say?

The Queen Mother raised her head and said slowly, "How did the people of the Huayang Sect break into the palace?"

"Look at the weather outside, Queen Mother, and think about the things you encountered before. Oh yes, the Queen Mother didn't see 'those things' with her own eyes, and she didn't know how terrible they were. Zhang Duan said in a low voice, "Ice and snow killing people is much easier than killing people people." ”

The cold wind howled. The Queen Mother smiled coldly and said, "It's a good time." The mourning family wants to see if after decades, what is the dissatisfaction of the Huayang Sect, and they are going to come to the royal family to beg for food. ”

"Zhao Ji! Don't sleep. The wind is blowing. Wang Chuli pushed Zhao Ji, seeing that he didn't wake up, he stood up and put a foot on his back, Zhao Ji puffed out a big breath, woke up from his dream, and said helplessly: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"The wind is blowing......" He heard Wang Chuli's voice, barely opened his sleepy eyes, and saw her slender back facing the door, and the sound of the wind was loud. The sound sent him shivers. The wind roared like a dragon, the trees rattled, sometimes whimpering and roaring, sometimes sighing, buzzing, and rising. He was horrified and hurriedly sat up.

Although he had said a lot of things with confidence just now, he was quickly defeated by the powerful sleepiness. He really felt too sleepy, after all, he hadn't slept for two days and two nights. Adequate sleep is the premise of human thinking, and after making everyone realize the seriousness of the situation and the nervousness to insomnia, he said lightly, "But what is better to wait until the day", and immediately fell down to see Zhou Gong.

In fact, for him, his heart is half-grounded. Lin Long is now going to treat the emperor, and his task is completed. And the constant threat of death and the harm that Zhao Yan may have caused him, under the protection of Su Can and Ye Langxing, he can also be sure that he will not die. Since there's nothing to worry about, go to sleep. So he really fell asleep. It's a pity that he was soon woken up again, and this time it was probably difficult to fall asleep.

Zhao Ji has a strong ability to recognize sounds, and he is very familiar with the sound of this wind. The more he listened, the more nervous he became, his heart racing, his voice trembling, and he asked, "...... What about the two of them?"

Wang Chuli said: "I realized the danger just now, so I went outside to see if there was any situation. ”

"So that's ......" Zhao Ji suddenly thought that Wang Chuli seemed to be injured, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Chuli, is your injury better?"

Wang Chuli glanced at him and said, "I'm fine, but you haven't done anything, and sleeping is the most active." What a useless guy. ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Sister Chuli is right, I am the most useless straw bale, I am really embarrassed to you......"

"What kind of shame do you have to embarrass me?" Wang Chuli smiled bitterly and walked towards the door, "It's true that you embarrass my brother." He gave his life to protect you, but in the end, you gave it up. You don't know how much I want to kill you. ”

Speaking of Wang Liefeng, the guilt in Zhao Ji's heart deepened, and he said, "I know." I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Sister Hatsunashi. ...... Sister Hatsuri, you take two steps to the left. ”

Wang Chuli turned his head: "Huh?"

"To the left, two steps, two big steps, right now, quick!" Zhao Ji suddenly roared eagerly, "Pounce to the side!"

Wang Chuli immediately ran to the left, saying that it was too late, and a huge sharp icicle shot in from the window, passed by Wang Chuli, and nailed to the wall of the house. Wang Chuli turned his head suddenly, saw the huge crack in the wall that was pierced by icicles, and remembered the battle he had shot at bats before, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"It's ...... What?" Wang Chuli said softly in disbelief, "It's windy and snowy, how can it be like this?"

She looked out the window. Outside the window, it was white. It was the middle of the night, but it was bright and snowy outside.
