Ming Heng said again: "Now that Donghai has resolved their internal contradictions, Jiang Zhen is a very ambitious king, and it can be seen from the fact that he has taken back the royal power after he succeeds to the throne!" If there was no such powerful weapon, this king would not have felt that Donghai would dare to send troops to other countries in the slightest! However, now the king has every reason to suspect that the king of the East China Sea has some bad thoughts. ”

Xuanyuan was silent, and the other ministers in the hall did not dare to speak.

"Your Majesty, the Baolong Army is hoarded in Linhe City, and it has no effect! It can't deter the East China Sea, if the 50,000 troops outside Ningdu City are moved, I have no doubt that the East China Sea will directly seize Linhe, all the way to the west, and march into Ningdu. When the time comes, who will be able to keep the thousand-year-old foundation of Great Xia? ”

"Therefore, for the sake of Great Xia and Ningdu, the minister begs Your Majesty to send the Baolong Army to Zitong Pass to resist the Beiyi Army!" Ming Heng had a righteous and awe-inspiring tone, as if he was really loyal to the Great Xia royal family by doing this.

Xuanyuan Ding sighed and waved his hand slightly, "Everything should be done according to the will of the King of Zhongshan!" I'm tired, retreat! ”

As he spoke, he took out a half piece of dragon talisman engraved with the word "Baolong" in gold from his arms, handed it to the attendant beside him, and left the hall with a heavy heart.

"Your Majesty is wise, I respectfully send your Majesty!" Ming Heng took the dragon talisman sent by the eunuch, bowed and saluted to see Xuanyuan Ding leave.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers are sending your Majesty!" Baiguan also shouted loudly.

Back in the dormitory, Xuanyuan was silent, and the only remaining 30,000 dragon troops in his hands were handed over to the Ming family, which meant that he had no way to take back the power of the royal family.

"Your Majesty, this is a newly made fried chicken in the imperial dining room, would you like to try it?" At this time, Zhai Ling'er walked over with a plate of golden food, and from a distance, Xuanyuan Ding smelled a fragrance.

"What is this?" Xuanyuan Ding picked up a piece of chicken steak that had been chopped into small pieces with chopsticks, looked at it carefully, and asked.

"I heard from the people in the imperial dining room that this is a new food from the people, made with chicken! Ling'er has already tried it, and it tastes very good. ”

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Ding put the chicken chop into his mouth and chewed it gently, an indescribable aroma of chicken spread in his mouth, and his tongue had a burst of excitement, and he swallowed it instantly.

Then he picked up another piece and said, "I've eaten countless kinds of chicken, but I've never made chicken like this, and this crunchy feeling makes me wonder if it's chicken or not!" ”

"Your Majesty, this must be chicken, how dare the imperial dining room deceive Your Majesty!"

"Hmmm! Not bad! Xuanyuan Ding praised after eating a few more pieces, and then asked: "You just said that this is a folk way of eating?" ”

"That's what the people in the Imperial Dining Room said. It is said that in Yunyan Street, Suzaku City, such a new shop was opened, called gnawing chicken, in addition to this fried chicken, there are many other kinds of different food. It is said that the folk way of eating is to eat a whole chicken leg or chicken wing, and eat it directly with your hands. Your Majesty is the emperor, and this way of eating is a little inappropriate, so Ling'er asked the people in the imperial dining room to chop the chicken into small pieces. ”

"Nibbling chicken, this name is also apt!" Xuanyuan Ding showed a rare smile, he was amused by the random name, and then asked, "What about the rest of the food?" Why don't you bring it up? ”

"This fried chicken was also just learned and made by the Imperial Dining Room. As for the rest of the food, the chefs are still learning, and they haven't made it yet! ”

"I see, I can't wait. Ling'er, you can get ready and go out of the palace with me! ”

Zhai Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you leave the palace, it will definitely attract the opposition of the King of Zhongshan...... Moreover, it's not safe! If His Majesty wants to eat other food, he will tell the chamberlain to buy it back to the palace. ”

"I'm going out, just don't let the King of Zhongshan know! The waiter is already cold when he buys it, how can it be delicious? As soon as Xuanyuan Ding heard the King of Zhongshan, he felt an inexplicable disgust in his heart.

"But ......"

"There's nothing more to it than that! Could it be that what I said didn't work? Or do you Baolong clan also feel that the Great Xia royal family is no longer worthy of your allegiance, and want to go to the Ming clan? Xuanyuan Ding said coldly.

"Ling'er doesn't dare! Ling'er will arrange it! Zhai Ling'er hurriedly knelt down and said in trepidation.

This is Xuanyuan Ding's second time out of the palace, the last time he went out of the palace was sixteen years ago, his father went out on patrol in micro-clothes, taking him and his mother concubine.

Now that his father has passed away, and his mother has also gone to guard the mausoleum, the closest people to him in the palace are only his younger brother Xuanyuan Qian and the two Zhai guards around him.

When he came to Suzaku City, it was more prosperous than sixteen years ago, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

However, he didn't know that if it weren't for Xu Xiang's free operation to come up with secret recipes to promote the development of commerce, the prosperity of the city would not be as good as it was sixteen years ago.

Because he was traveling in private clothes, he only brought Zhai Ling'er with him.

After asking the way to nibble on the chicken, he walked down the street of Suzaku City with great interest.

Not far in front of him, a young man in a blue brocade robe walked down the street, and many people greeted him along the way, as if he were a well-known person in the area.

Suddenly, Zhai Ling'er approached him and said, "Your Majesty, be careful, I feel a murderous aura!" ”

Xuanyuan frowned, looking around vigilantly, but everything was as usual. So he smiled and asked, "It's business as usual?" Are you too nervous? ”

"Nope! There's a killer around here! Your Majesty, for the sake of safety, why don't you go back to the palace first? Zhai Ling'er looked like she was facing a great enemy, and she was by his side.

"How can there be a killer, you, you are just too sensitive......"

Before the word "sense" could be spoken, a sharp whistle sounded, and a middle-aged man suddenly jumped up in the crowd, the man was holding a dagger and rushed straight towards the blue-clothed young man in front of him.

The assassin's dagger stabbed directly into the back of the young man in blue, and this sudden scene made the young man in blue not react at all, just as he was about to give a warning.

A man in a black suit jumped up in the crowd and knocked the blue-clothed boy down, dodging the killer's sudden blow.

Then he kicked the killer's dagger away with his backleg.

The dagger fell to the ground with a clanging sound, and the surrounding pedestrians were frightened by the sudden scene and avoided it.

"Lin Fuhang, there's something wrong with you!" The man in blue didn't seem to react, and scolded after being suddenly knocked down.

"Die!" The killer snorted coldly, and then took out a dagger and swooped down on the man in blue.

The man in the black suit hurriedly jumped up and stopped him, and the two fought together.

At this time, the man in blue realized that someone was going to kill him, so he quickly got up, stepped back, and stared closely at the two who were inseparable.

"It turned out that it was not aimed at His Majesty!" Zhai Ling'er was relieved to see the killer appear.

"On the street, there are people who commit murder on the street?" When Xuanyuan saw this scene, he was slightly angry.

"Your Majesty, that killer's martial arts path looks like that of the Nine Shadows Palace! The people of the Nine Shadows Palace don't care about our laws of Great Xia! Zhai Ling'er said.

"Nine Shades Palace?" A touch of anger appeared on Xuanyuan Ding's face, since he was a child, he had read those secret records in the palace, and learned that the fuse of the Seven Kingdoms was the royal secret, and there was a shadow of the Nine Shadows Palace in this royal secret!

"Hmmm! The people of the Nine Shadows Hall have been hiding in the darkness and doing despicable and dark things, but they have not appeared in Ningdu for many years. Who is this young man, who actually attracted the people of the Nine Shadows Hall to assassinate him on the street? Zhai Ling'er muttered to herself in confusion.

Xuanyuan Ding looked at the killer and the black-clothed man who seemed to be on par, he didn't know much about martial arts, so he asked, "Ling'er, do you think who wins and who loses these two?" ”

Zhai Ling'er looked at it seriously and sighed, "The man in black seems to have the upper hand a little, but it seems that he has been fatally injured and can't exert his full strength. His internal strength doesn't last long, and he shouldn't be a killer's opponent. ”

"How is it compared to you?" Xuanyuan Ding asked again, thinking in his heart that if he met the people of the Nine Shadows Palace, if he could capture them, he might be able to get some information about the Nine Shadows Palace.

Zhai Ling'er replied: "In the realm, these two people are probably inherently heavy. ”

"You're a congenital duo, you should be able to easily capture that killer, right?"

Zhai Ling'er shook her head, "The exercises and moves of the Nine Shadows Hall are extremely weird, I heard that you can cross the realm to kill people, except for some of the exercises of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow that can be restrained, others must at least surpass their two realms to ensure victory." If my eldest brother is here, it's okay, but Ling'er is not completely sure. ”

At this time, the situation had begun to change, the man in black who had the upper hand suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood when he was not hit by the killer, and the killer saw that the opportunity was coming, and instantly repelled the man in black with a chain of legs, and turned towards the man in blue.

The man in blue was frightened for a while, this killer came straight to him, and even Lin Fuhang couldn't resist it, so he ran away.

"Run? Where to run! The killer sneered, leaped to his feet, and kicked him in the back, knocking him to the ground and losing his chance to escape.

Fortunately, the man in black eased up, tried his best to block the killer, and once again saved the man in blue.

"Run!" The man in black knew that he was not the opponent of the killer, and hurriedly said to the man in blue.

"Are you dying?" The killer sneered, "I'll only kill him, if you don't interfere, I won't embarrass you!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to kill him, kill me first!"

"As you wish!" The killer's cold voice came into his ears, and he saw him pull out a soft sword wrapped around his waist from his waist, and inject internal force into the soft sword, reflecting the sunlight, and the golden light reflected by the soft sword pierced people's eyes.

"Silky gold sword! You are the sword officer of the Nine Shadows Palace! The man in black was shocked when he saw this soft sword.

"I know now, it's too late." The killer's long sword flickered and stabbed at the man in black.

The man in black was unarmed, so he could only urge the internal force to resist, but a burst of blood and qi in his body surged, and this internal force was beaten back, and at the same time, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth again.

This was the second time he had bled because of himself.

"Lin Fuhang, are you okay?" The man in blue hurriedly walked over and supported the man in black.

"Get out of here!" The man in black pushed the man in blue away and went to fend off the sharp sword.

Seeing that the soft sword was about to stab the man in black, suddenly a figure flickered, and the long sword in the killer's hand tilted, stabbing a lonely (air).

"Who are you?" The killer stared coldly at a young woman who suddenly appeared, this was the second time his assassination had been interrupted, and a raging anger had already risen in his heart.

"Get out of Ningdu!" This woman is Zhai Ling'er, Xuanyuan really can't stand the people of the Nine Shadows Hall committing murder in Ningdu, so he ordered Zhai Ling'er to take action, even if he can't capture the killer of the Nine Shadows Palace, at least he has to save these two people.
