A lot happened on the snowy night of the 29th of the lunar month.

The palace eunuch, two young eunuchs and a few permanent attendants who were not on duty closed the door and drank around the fireplace, had fun, and fell asleep soundly when they were tired of playing, and the stove was unattended in the second half of the night, and seven or eight people were smoked by gas, but some were heavy, some were light, and the big eunuch Niu Yun and the young eunuch Yu He had been dead for a long time when they were found, and they were covered in blue and purple, and they looked very terrifying.

The loyal general Qi Su was assassinated in his home and was hit by an arrow in the chest, although he was treated in time by the people of the medical order and saved his life, but he had to rest in bed for a long time.

Compared with what happened to Qi Su, the newly appointed heroic general Wu Changzong's home was infiltrated, and the study was turned into a mess is simply not worth mentioning.

Wu Changzong did not make a noise, and sent his henchmen to quietly send a letter to Jiang Xianyan early the next morning.

Jiang Xianyan knew the seriousness of the matter, they had just gotten rid of a few palace people who had taken refuge in Wu Taishi, and they learned that Qi Su was injured and could not enter the palace tonight to escort the car.

At noon on this day, Emperor Tianyou issued a holy decree ordering all the nobles and the Beijing officials who were on the top of the four grades to enter the palace tonight to celebrate the New Year.

The palace people who went to the various prefectures to convey the decree specially told the officials that the saint was tired of watching the dance, and felt that the poetry and singing were not new every year. Officials entering the palace to attend the banquet must bring no more than three guests, and the guests must be innocent and are not allowed to carry weapons.

This is unprecedented.

However, in Nanchong, the custom of high-ranking officials and magnates to solicit customers has a long history. At the end of the year, the guests have just finished the challenge of upgrading to the rankings, and Emperor Tianyou is a young son of heaven. I just added a son, and I want to know the masters of the country, and it is normal to be lively, but many ministers have not thought about it deeply.

Wang 13 changed into a strong outfit and had a beard, for fear of being recognized as similar to Lu Hongda, and deliberately drew his eyebrows with charcoal.

"Isn't that Gao Yang Lao'er consciously superior. He won't be there for this kind of occasion, right? "If the other party doesn't arrive, Wang Thirteen can be regarded as a trip for nothing tonight. And letting the old man get away is always a scourge.

Jiang Xianyan was very sure: "No, if they don't stab Qi Su, I am not completely sure." Qi Su's deputy, Qian Changwei, got close to the Wu family. Most of them have taken refuge in the past, Wu Deshui is like a frightened bird now, and he will definitely take Gaoyang Laosuo with him wherever he goes these days. ”

Wang 13 nodded and tightened his belt in front of the bronze mirror.

You are not allowed to carry weapons when entering the palace, which is not a restriction for him, and it is better than a sword, a gun and a club. I heard that Gao Yang Lao Su is good at using short weapons, and his body is unpredictable. I'm going to have a tough battle tonight.

Jiang Xianyan called the housekeeper and all the henchmen who stayed in the mansion and gave them a detailed advice.

Tonight is the end of the night. In case something goes wrong, everyone in the family must also be prepared to retreat, and not all of them should be folded in it.

Wang 13 felt that his uncle was really ruthless, and until he went out, he didn't take a look at his wife and his wife. No wonder the Lu family would be planted in the hands of a scholar like him, people are the ones who make great things, and they can't catch up with this by themselves.

Outside the broken cut Qiong Yao, the heavy snow has been falling for two days and one night, someone in the house cleaned up in time, out of the house, the sedan chair man stepped on it and suddenly it was a crooked, snow did not pass the calf.

Wang 13 and the Di brothers followed the sedan chair and arrived at the gate of the palace at Shen Shi.

Jiang Xianyan got out of the sedan chair, and Di Qiuheng was afraid that he would slip, so he stepped forward and hugged him. The holy decree is limited to three guests, and Jiang Xianyan needless to say, he brought the Di brothers and Wang Thirteen.

On duty at the gate of the palace today, the person responsible for checking the identity is Qi Su's forbidden army.

Qian Changwei personally came to the scene to star, he saw Jiang Xianyan coming, and said with a smile: "Lord Jiang arrived so early, slow down, be careful of slippery roads." This is also from your house? Keep your eyes on life. As he spoke, he looked Wang Thirteen up and down.

The Di brothers followed Jiang Xianyan all day long, and they were all familiar faces, and Qian Changwei turned back to see Wang Thirteen, and it was normal to ask a few more questions.

Jiang Xianyan smiled quietly: "One of my juniors will bring me over tonight to see the world." Not inferior, this is General Qian. ”

Wang Thirteen crossed his hands and saluted, making an honest look: "General Qian." ”

Qian Changwei smiled "haha": "You're welcome, oops, the little brother looks like a talent." ”

After a few words of laughter, he said solemnly: "There are many people tonight, and there are many people with martial arts, I am here to watch at the order of the saint, and I have to be extra careful." Since there is nothing wrong with people, they still need to search their bodies, and they are not allowed to carry weapons when they enter the palace, which is offended. ”

Jiang Xianyan nodded: "It should be so." ”

A team of forbidden soldiers came over and searched the Di brothers and Wang Shisan carefully, and reported to Qian Changwei after the incident, and then let them go.

Entering the palace gate, Jiang Xianyan led the three of them inside.

This Nanchong Imperial Palace is divided into the former dynasty and the inner court according to the north-south direction, and what they want to go to at this moment is the great gong hall of the previous dynasty, Wang 13 walked on the side road of flower bricks, stretched his neck and looked around.

After he recruited An, he also participated in the great court meeting of Emperor Jianzhao with Wang Guangji, and knelt down with the ministers outside the palace hall.

Far away from the Great Gong Palace, there was a forbidden army to greet him, this time it was Wu Changzong's people, spread the edict of Emperor Tianyou, the ministers who came directly entered the palace, and the guests waited outside the forbidden army hall.

The snow is too big, people are placed in the corridor to shelter from the wind, in front of the hall set up a platform of a zhang high, the lanterns are colorful, lined with the snow, quite the joy of the New Year.

Wang Thirteen and they arrived early, and only twenty or thirty people stood in the corridor.

I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance on such an occasion today, and Wang Shisan found Tan Zhi, a doorman in Chen Kangning's mansion, at a glance.

The two Han kings on Tan Zhi's side also had an impression, but they couldn't remember their names.

There were three other people in the corner, Wang Shisan also felt familiar, he thought about it and remembered that those three were all guests of the Anguo Mansion. He has suffered a great loss at his hands.

When Tan Zhi saw the Di brothers coming, he looked a little hesitant, and whispered a few words to his companions. He looked at Wang Thirteen suspiciously, but he didn't come forward to say hello.

The doormen and guests are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, with their status as the Di brothers, they rashly talk to each other, which is suspected of flattering.

If it's okay outside, inside the palace, there are countless pairs of eyes staring. Every move represents the head of the family, and they can't help but be careless. It's like their Chen family has a grudge against the Anguo Mansion, but they are avoiding each other at this time. For fear of disturbing the Son of Heaven.

Seeing this, Wang Shisan touched his beard with satisfaction, and Tan Zhi really didn't recognize himself when he changed his dress.

It wasn't until it was dark that Taishi Wu was late with the doorman.

It was an old man. It is a head shorter than Wang Thirteen. There was not a few taels of flesh on his body, and he looked dry and thin, because he was too thin, the skin on his face was wrinkled and drooping, and he frowned, looking unlucky as if he was about to die.

"Folding Gui Hook" Dai Xiang walked respectfully aside, stretching out his hand to support the old man.

Although Wang 13 didn't recognize this old guy, he only looked at the other party's style. How do you not know that this is Dai Xiang and Han Yang's master, Gaoyang Laosuo, who is known as the first person in Nanchong Wulin.

There were many disciples in the Taishi Mansion, and only his master and apprentice came.

The arrival of Gaoyang Laosuo caused a commotion. All the guests who came today are people from the rivers and lakes, as soon as they saw this old guy coming, they were all like mice seeing cats, some looked flattering, and some flashed horror and fear, Wang 13 looked at this scene silently, obviously, this old thing is not a good bird.

Gao Yang Laosuo squinted his eyes, looked at the people in the corridor from a distance, and looked at his expression, obviously not very satisfied.

The leader of the forbidden army, knowing his identity, was very polite to him, led him to the best position in the cloister, and ordered a chair to be moved.

As soon as Gao Yang Laosu sat down, there was no one around him, and everyone avoided from afar.

Wang 13 couldn't help but "tsk", and said in his heart: "This is really no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king." is so arrogant, it is not unjust to die under Lao Tzu's fist for a while. ”

The Di brothers all took two steps back, their faces vigilant, and Di Qiuheng even pulled down Wang Thirteen's shirt and gave him a "careful" look.

When it got dark, the Praetorian soldiers lit the rows of lanterns in the cloisters, and everyone waited here.

In the main hall, three shouts of long live, the New Year's feast began, and soon the sound of drums came out.

On the one hand, there is a silk bamboo music and dance wine and imperial meal, but on the other hand, there is a cold wind blowing on a hungry stomach, this strong contrast, even Wang Shisan can't help but secretly scold "grandma's", not to mention those who don't know that there is another secret tonight, all dare to be angry and dare not speak.

This did not include Gao Yang Laosuo, who sat there with his eyes slightly closed, and snorted coldly.

This soft snort sounded, and I don't know how many people felt as if they had been pricked by a needle in their ears, and the face of the leader of the forbidden army in charge of the corridor changed slightly, and said: "Venerable Gaoyang, this is Ouchi, if you accidentally disturb the Holy Lord, no one can afford it!" ”

Gao Yang Lao Suo ignored his warning, raised his thin palm, and nodded at Tan Zhi and the others: "You three, are you from Chen Kangning's mansion?" ”

Chen Kangning is a member of the third grade, and it is really disrespectful for him to name and surname him like this, but how dare Tan Zhi and the others accuse each other, they glanced at each other and secretly shouted that it was not good.

Among the three, Tan Zhi was the most eloquent, and those two did not come out, so he had to take a step forward and said respectfully: "After the end of school, Tan Zhi has seen Venerable Gao Yang." ”

Gao Yang Lao Su Li ignored him, and turned his head to the disciple standing beside him and said, "Is there any one who sent your junior brother to the hospital at the beginning?" ”

"Folding Gui Hook" Dai Xiang said respectfully: "Back to Master, it is he who is among them." ”

Tan Zhi secretly screamed when he heard this conversation, and before he could speak, everyone saw that Gao Yang Laosuo who was sitting on the chair suddenly disappeared, Tan Zhi let out an exclamation, fell straight backwards, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Gao Yang Lao Su Yin measured: "It's dark and the road is slippery, everyone must be careful!" ”

Wang Shisan's eyes froze, there was nothing more intuitive than seeing it with his own eyes, and as soon as he saw this move, he understood why the Di brothers were so jealous of this old thing.

is so old, and his body is so fast, it's like a ghost, is it because he is short that he has an extra advantage?

Gao Yang Lao Suo came and went too quickly, so fast that the forbidden army was staring at him, but he didn't catch him.

The two of Chen Fu helped Tan Zhi up and hurriedly fed him with wound medicine, Tan Zhi's internal injuries were so serious, but he was hit in the chest by Gao Yang Laosuo, but he didn't even have a handprint.

Everyone dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, but Gao Yang Lao Suo refused to give up, and said: "What about the murderer who injured my apprentice, you say that he said goodbye to me but I don't believe it, it must be because he is afraid of the old man's revenge and hides people." I can't do anything about Chen Kangning, but it's easy to clean up! ”

Tan Zhi was so hurt that he couldn't speak, but his eyes kept glancing at the Di brothers.

This is really a disaster, the person you are looking for is in the Jiang family, and he is still related to Lord Jiang, the Di brothers must know!

Only then did Wang 13 understand that grandma's, it turned out that this old immortal suddenly became troubled because he cleaned up Han Yang in Chen Kangning's mansion.

It's too shameless, the doorman is promoted to life and death, not to mention that Han Yang has to be entangled endlessly to provoke him, and with the meaning of Gao Yang Lao'er, he is only allowed to bully others, and the other party is not allowed to fight back?

He couldn't help but sigh twice: "I have such a big reputation for being blind, I have been making trouble for a long time, and I only dare to bully and bully irrelevant people, because it is easy, and when I meet a powerful person, I shrink faster than anyone else." Grandma's, what the first person, I'm phew! ”

Suddenly there was silence in the cloister.

Even the reckless Gao Yang Lao Su didn't react, how could he kill a nosy person in this way?

Only Tan Zhi heard Wang Shisan's voice, raised his hand, and before he could speak, his eyes rolled and he passed out.

The leader of the forbidden army was anxious, why did these people feel uncomfortable if they didn't fight? What about the general, he was still here just now, why is his work missing in a blink of an eye?

He didn't know how to stop Wang Shisan, wiped his sweat, and scolded: "What are you doing, the palace inside, you dare to spit at will?" ”

Wang Shisanxin said that this brother has any eyes, I will just snort, where can I see the spitting star?

Before he could speak, he felt a darkness in front of him, and a cold wind hit.

The old stuff is here again!

He twisted his body and stepped back, waving his hand to catch the other party's palm, but somehow, his eyes were a flower, and Gao Yang's palm rubbed against his wrist, and hit him in the chest with a "bang".

It seems that Wang Shisanzhong's palm is the same as Tan Zhi's, but the strange thing is that he stood firmly in place after the palm, as if nothing happened.

I don't know how many people raise their hands to rub their eyes, this is dazzling, right?

At this moment, tens of millions of fireworks were set off in the sky above the Yudao Street outside the imperial city, and the sound of "crackling" firecrackers sounded into a piece, and the distant Santai Street and Fuqian Street were only a moment late, and the sky over Jiatong City was full of color, and the stars were twinkling.

That's exactly what it means to get started.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, thousands of elite soldiers divided into several roads, stepped on the thick snow, and rushed straight to the mansion of the high-ranking officials.
