In the council hall of the Yamen, there is no more busy scene.

The big fish directly took away all the bait, and Song Ying, a fisherman, was naturally not happy, and sat on the Taishi chair with a gloomy face to hide his helplessness against the current predicament.

Zhang Boyan was also depressed with a teacup, but his heart was obviously happy, as long as Xu Buling took people away, then the matter had nothing to do with him; Even if there is really a holy decree to come, it is impossible for him to mobilize manpower before he arrives, anyway, it is also a problem of the Investigation Department to smash the errand afterwards, offending Song Ying is better than being cut down by the prince of Su Wang now.

Situ Yue Ember held the Nine-Ring Knife and sat beside Song Ying. As a generation of heroes in the rivers and lakes, and close to the imperial court, he naturally understands Song Ying's difficulties. This is the case in the court, the imperial power is supreme, the royal power is secondary, and the python robe on the princes and kings is one toe less than the dragon robe, except for the Son of Heaven, there is no need to listen to anyone's orders, if there is no such privilege, why does everyone want to be crowned a king and a marquis.

Situ Yue Ember just came over to help Song Ying with his errands, Xu Buling swaggered away, he didn't seem to have the need to stay, and immediately said:

"Lord Song, the prince of Su has already left, do you still have arrangements?"

Song Ying tapped her fingers on the armrest of the chair and said in a deep voice: "Situ Gong wait a little longer, the holy imperial decree will arrive in Youzhou immediately, and Situ Gong will need to help him at that time, and the imperial court will inevitably remember the Situ family's favor afterwards and give him a good reward." ”

Situ Yue Shen nodded, and had no comment on this. The imperial court asked the people in the rivers and lakes to help with things, and there may not be any practical benefits if they help, but if they don't help, there will definitely be a catastrophe, Lu and Zhu are the most obvious examples, no matter how transcendent the status of the Situ family is, he can't jump out of the big basket of the world, except for obeying orders.

Song Ying was silent, then looked at Zhang Boyan again, trying to continue to exert pressure, so that Zhang Boyan could mobilize the army of Youzhou and the fast officials to stop Xu Buling, after all, he only brought a dozen wolf guards with him, and it was impossible to restrict Xu Buling's actions.

It's just that Zhang Boyan has achieved this position, and he has already become an old fritter in officialdom, and when he saw Song Ying looking up, he sighed:

"Lord Song, this official understands your difficulties, but without the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven and the military talisman of the Liaoxi Protectorate, you can't move the troops and horses at all, and if something goes wrong at the border pass, it won't be the heads of one or two people who will be dropped, and the entire Youzhou officialdom will have to be sat down, Lord Song, you also understand that I am not ......"

Song Ying patted the arm of the chair, but he couldn't say anything, he couldn't force the troops to transfer troops by putting the knife on Zhang Boyan's neck like Xu Buling, so that even if he caught Xu Buling, the official would have to dismantle the Investigation Department afterwards.

After a few words of chatting, the wolf guard who was following him came in to report the news, and his eyeliner was pulled out so that he could not be traced.

When Song Ying heard this, her face was slightly angry: "Xu Buling is really strange, if he is fine, how can he get rid of his eyeliner in a hurry." Lord Zhang, if you delay it any longer, if you let Xu Buling escape from Youzhou......"

Zhang Boyan shook his head: "Lord Song, what you said is wrong, you sent people to stare at people for no reason, they must get rid of them, otherwise what is the difference between being detained in Youzhou?" Moreover, the fiefdom of the prince of Su is in Suzhou, and he will definitely leave, but can he still live in Youzhou? ”

"You ......"

Song Ying understood that if Zhang Boyan didn't see the holy decree, it would be impossible to mobilize manpower.

A few people just stared at each other, waiting from morning to noon, but fortunately, they rushed day and night for eight hundred miles, and they didn't let Song Ying wait too long.

At noon, the horse's hooves outside the yamen hurried in, and the messenger flew down without stopping the horse with the cylinder on his back, rushed into the yamen and said loudly:

"Urgent—urgent—"

Song Ying stood up when she heard the sound, rushed to the outside of the yamen to pick up the cylinder, opened the cylinder and took out a few secret letters, ran back to the conference hall after scanning her eyes, and threw one of them into Zhang Boyan's arms:

"Quickly adjust people, and delay for another half an hour to resist the decree."

At this time, Zhang Boyan naturally didn't dare to grind foreign workers anymore, so he quickly stood up and unfolded the letterhead, and after scanning his eyes, his face was shocked:

"Blockade the entire territory of Youzhou? This...... What's going on? ”

Song Ying had the imperial order of the Son of Heaven, and she had completely lost her patience, and the Yanling knife at her waist was unsheathed, and she said coldly:

"Someone came, took off Zhang Boyan's official robe......"

"Eh, eh! Lord Song, I'll go now, come on! Notify the entire army of the Youzhou garrison battalion to disperse into Youzhou to block all official roads and docks, and it is strictly forbidden to enter and exit from now on, and violators will be killed on the spot regardless of their identity! ”

"No!"

The officials of all ranks, who had been prepared a long time ago, hurriedly ran out and passed the order to the entire Youzhou...... 33

And almost at the same time, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Qingzhou Naval Division, and Liaoxi Metropolitan Protectorate also received the same order, and the northeast of Dayue, which had been silent for many years, entered a state of wartime martial law almost instantly......

----

Outside Fanyang County, on the low mountain four or five miles away from the county seat, the winter snow falls on the white mountains and forests, the mountain roads are rugged, and the women and children in the countryside carry incense baskets and walk slowly, go to the Yuxing on the top of the mountain to view the pillar incense, pray for the wind and rain in the coming year, and are unaware of the great changes that are about to spread to the whole world.

Yuxing Temple is just a small Taoist temple, and the courtyards near the two are not much bigger than Changqing Temple, and there is only one old Taoist priest who stays here day after day. At this time, in the wing room behind the Taoist temple for pilgrims to live temporarily, Chen Daozi was bandaged and sat on the futon facing the empty mountains, closing his eyes to recuperate his injuries.

In the vicious battle on Bodhi Island, all the people on the side of the King of Chu were wiped out, and Chen Daozi could not resist Li Hansheng, who was determined to die, so he could only abandon his sword and flee into the sea. Li Hansheng cultivated both inside and outside to the Mahayana, these three palms can be compared to Xu Bu Ling a few times, until now his face is still red and blue, obviously suffering internal injuries.

For retreating from Bodhi Island, Chen Daozi has no shame in his heart, he is not a dead soldier of the king of Chu, he is just helping the king of Chu, seeing that the general trend has gone, it is impossible to take his life. However, Ding Yuan and Chen Chong must have died on the island, and Wudang Mountain is also under the nose of the King of Chu, and he needs the protection of the King of Chu, so he must also give the King of Chu an explanation.

After leaving Leting County, Chen Daozi sent a secret letter to the King of Chu, explaining that the jade seal had been obtained by Li Hansheng, and then waited here to see what else the King of Chu had ordered, if not, then he could go home. Li Hansheng got the jade seal, and now I'm afraid he has already left Youzhou, and it is impossible for the King of Chu to snatch it back if he has the ability to reach the sky, which can be regarded as a scene.

However, what Chen Daozi didn't expect was that after waiting in the Taoist temple of the joint for only a few days, the envoy of the King of Chu came.

In the winter snowfall, among the mountains and fields under Yuxing Road, a figure in a Taoist robe walked from the rugged mountain wall at a very fast speed, like a wild goose stepping on the snow without a trace, almost a few breaths, and then arrived at Chen Daozi's resting place.

The person who came was obviously also a Taoist priest, but it was different from the black Taoist robe of the Quanzhen Sect, and the Taoist robe on his body was purple, embroidered with a gossip map, which was more gorgeous, and the costume of the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

Chen Daozi opened his eyes, glanced at them, and frowned slightly:

"Zhang Buzheng, you seem to be late."

Zhang Buzheng of Longhu Mountain and Chen Daozi of Wudang Mountain are collectively called 'Daomen Shuangsha' by the rivers and lakes, and they naturally know each other. Today's sword dao Sankui Daomen accounts for two, both of them are famous figures in the rivers and lakes for many years, Chen Daozi has a lot of fighting records, Zhang Buzheng is outstanding in light skills, and his comprehensive ability is very strong, but he rarely goes to Longhu Mountain, so his fame is smaller than Chen Daozi.

The current eight martial arts in the world, Chen Daozi, Chen Chong, Situ Yueyan, Xu Buling, Zhang Buzheng, Zhu Liu, Tang Jiao, and Yan Huilin. Except for Yan Huilin of Northern Qi, the rest of the people are basically busy, and Zhang Buzheng came over at this time, which is indeed too late.

Zhang Buzheng stopped beside the cliff, his black beard moved with the wind, and the corners of his eyes were slightly helpless:

"I don't want to wade into this troubled water, but I can't hide from it, so the king of Chu invited me to come over and accompany you on another trip."

Chen Daozi knew that the King of Chu and the heroes of the rivers and lakes were in contact, and it was not strange that he could invite Zhang Buzheng out of the mountain, but the jade seal had been lost, and it was not easy to chase Li Hansheng, even if he could catch up, in the face of Zhu Liu and Li Hansheng joining forces, the two Taoist priests had no chance of winning.

Chen Daozi thought for a moment and asked:

"Where are you going?"

Zhang Buzheng sat down in front of Chen Daozi, took out the envelope from his arms, and handed it to Chen Daozi:

"See for yourself."

Chen Daozi took the envelope and opened it, swept it carefully, and his face condensed slightly:

"Real killing?"

Zhang Buzheng nodded: "The imperial court blocked Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou, and the Investigation Department nearly a thousand wolf guards poured out, obviously thinking that the jade seal was in Xu Buling's hands and wanted to catch Xu Buling." If Xu Buling dies at this time, the court will not be able to leave the relationship, and the king of Su will inevitably march into Guanzhong Road, and the court will be isolated and helpless, and the king of Chu can take advantage of the situation to enter the king of Chang'an. Song Ji has exhausted his qi, King Wu is ready to go, King Chu has no jade seal in his hand, and this is the only way to inherit the unification. ”

When Chen Daozi heard this, his brows furrowed: "If this move fails......"

"It's best not to make a mess, the king of Chu has already made a feud with King Su and King Wu, if he waits for King Wu to rise up and prove his 'innocence', King Su will definitely not let King Chu enter Chang'an.

The king of Chu is the most powerful, and he is located in the center of Dayue, and if he can't be the emperor, he will inevitably become the target of the public, and when the time comes, he will either be a pawn for the four kings of Wu, Wei, Yu and Yue, or he will be a pawn for the two kings of Guanzhong Dao and Su and Shu, and he will definitely be the first to die.

The King of Chu is gone, whether it is the King of Wu or the King of Su, they will let you change a group of Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain. ”

Chen Daozi was silent and nodded slightly......
