Zhou Jin entered the county office, and the officials and scribes of the entire Song County were frightened and trembling, and waited carefully, for fear of provoking this killer and giving him his life.

Zhou Jin sat in the county office and thought secretly, Song County is about to be in chaos, and it is impossible for me to handle official business here.

But I can't do nothing, can I?

However, Zhou Jin soon found a problem, where did Qin Huaiyi, the original county commander of Song County, go?

"Come on, go and bring Qin Huaiyi to see me." Zhou Jin hurriedly ordered to the outside world.

Zhou Jin failed to see Qin Huaiyi immediately, and the people who went to pass on him said that Qin Huaiyi had disappeared.

It turned out that Qin Huaiyi, the county commander, saw that Zhou Jin had ordered the killing, and hurriedly and quietly left the county government to hide in a secret mansion in Song County.

This residence was prepared by the Sanming Immortal Sect for Qin Huaiyi, and in Qin Huaiyi's opinion, this should be the safest place.

The first thing I did when I returned to the outer house was to write a note on the impeachment of Zhou Jin, and it was their established policy for Zhou Jin to force the people to rebel. Since Zhou Jin went on a killing spree as soon as he came, it was tantamount to cooperating with their actions, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?

After Qin Huaiyi finished writing, someone sent it to Li Shimin's table.

-------------------------

"Poor Dao, please meet His Royal Highness the Dao King." Chen Pingping, with snow-white hair, dressed as a fairy wind dao bone, calmly saluted the Dao King.

"Chen Daochang is exempt." Dao King Li Yuanqing said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Chen Pingping is like a courtesy.

"Presumably, what Zhou Jin did in front of the county yamen, Daochang Chen should have heard about it, right?" Li Yuanqing asked deliberately.

Chen Ping seemed to be extremely distressed by Zhou Jin's actions, sighed, closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths before slowly opening his eyes and saying, "I don't want this butcher to do such a thing that is contrary to heavenly reason." ”

"Since Daochang Chen is so sad, he should get up early." Li Yuanqing said lightly.

Chang Shi Xiao talked about Li Yuanqing and Chen Pingping's fight, and nodded secretly in his heart.

Chen Ping listened to Li Yuanqing's words, and immediately showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and he twisted for a while before saying: "I can't hide it, Poor Dao also wants to get up early and save Li Min from fire and water." It's just that the incident is not trivial, and the poor Taoists are all reckless, and it is really difficult to control without benefits. If you want to start an incident now, you need at least one million stone of food to feed the congregation. ”

Li Yuanqing listened and glanced at Chang Shi Xiao Tan proudly, meaning I guessed right, right?

Xiao Tan has already begun to scold in his heart, and a million stone grains are not afraid to kill you.

Xiao Tan also felt tired of Chen Pingping's petty childishness, doing such a big thing as rebellion, but he made the gesture of an old poor woman who went to the city to fight the autumn breeze in the countryside.

He took a step forward and said, "What Daochang Chen said is true?"

Chen Ping thought that Xiao Tan's questioning was to negotiate the price with him, so he made an excited look and said, "If Xiao Changshi doesn't believe it, you can go to the Sanming Immortal Sect's main altar to have a look." ”

Xiao Tan smiled faintly when he heard this: "In that case, the Sanming Immortal Sect is still the Sanming Immortal Sect, right?" After that, he turned around and bowed to Li Yuanqing and said, "Lord, Your Majesty has issued orders to summon you many times in Luoyang, so we won't delay our work here." ”

As soon as Xiao Tan said this, everyone didn't understand what he meant, and Li Yuanqing didn't know how to answer for a while, so he just kept a calm face and didn't say a word.

Chen Pingping's face was originally a little ugly, but when he saw Li Yuanqing's expression, he immediately smiled, and said lightly: "Poor Dao, an outsider is busy with these, and it is also contrary to the teachings of the Holy Mother of Chitian, it is better to retreat." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ping looked at Li Yuanqing, and was about to leave.

Xiao Tan secretly scolded Chen Ping for being cunning in his heart, but he still turned around and stopped Li Ping and said, "Why is Daoist Chen in a hurry to leave, the people of the world are still waiting for you to show mercy and save them from fire and water?"

Chen Ping saw that Xiao Tan stopped him even harder, and spread his hands to make an embarrassed look: "Poor Dao is powerless!" ”

Xiao Tan became more and more impatient in his heart, and said bluntly: "There is no one million stone grain, although the prince has prepared these days, but there is only less than 100,000 stones, and the matter is urgent at the moment, I can borrow some from the major scholars in Song County to make up enough for 100,000 stones for you." ”

Chen Ping was overjoyed when he saw that Xiao Tan was willing to give 100,000 stone of grain, but he still made a sad look on his face and said: "There are only 100,000 stone of grain, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it for a few days, what will I do in the future?"

Xiao Tan saw that Chen Ping was worried about food, and his heart was relieved. Based on this, it can be concluded that there are no strategic characters in the Sanming Immortal Sect, and if they really have a strategy, they will not rebel and worry about food.

Because of the smile on his face, he comforted Chen Ping and said: "Daochang Chen, rest assured, the prince will not care about the rest of the matter." ”

"Then please also ask the prince to send guards to send the grain to the main altar of the Sanming Immortal Sect, tonight when we open the altar to make an incident, we have to let the sect members see the food."

Now that Chen Pingping can only nod his head and admit it.

"Good! The king sent for you. Seeing that the matter had finally been negotiated, Dao King Li Yuanqing readily agreed.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Chen Pingping hurriedly thanked him.

"Now that the matter has been settled, the poor will leave!" Chen Pingping made another bow, and then promised: "The prince is benevolent, righteous, and poor, and the Dao is inscribed within the five, if the prince does great things in the future, the Sanming Immortal Sect is willing to obey the dispatch of the prince." ”

When the Dao King heard this, he laughed and said, "Dao Chen walks slowly." ”

Chen Ping walked out of the Dao King's manor, and Ma Jiu Dao Chang came up with a few members of the Sanming Immortal Sect. Ma Jiudao Commander and Chen Ping glanced at each other, and then stepped on the war horse and galloped away.

After running for a while, I listened to Chen Pingping's order: "Send someone to keep an eye on here, as long as the palace guards are dispatched, immediately report to me immediately." ”

-------------------------

In the middle of the night, Li Yuanqing, the king of Taoism, was still sitting in the flower hall drinking.

"See the prince."

Chang Shi Xiao Tan walked in from the outside.

"Xiao Changshi come and sit down and have a drink with this king." Li Yuanqing said with some excitement.

Xiao Tan had a tired look on his face, but looking at the excited Li Yuanqing, he still walked to the side and sat down.

"The prince can't help this."

As soon as Xiao Tan sat down, Li Yuanqing hurriedly poured Xiao Tan a bowl of wine.

Li Yuanqing put down the wine spoon and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, Xiao Changshi doesn't have to be polite."

Seeing this, Xiao Tan didn't say anything anymore, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, put down the wine bowl and said solemnly: "Lord Wang Weichen has a few words, and I must say it tonight." ”

Li Yuanqing has always relied on Xiao Tan, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "If Xiao Changshi has anything to say, just say it." ”

"The minister still doesn't agree with the prince's move to protect Cai Wenying and Chen Pingping." Xiao Tan said directly.

Li Yuanqing smiled indifferently when he heard this: "This king knows that Xiao Changshi doesn't look down on these rivers and lakes recklessly, but these people also have their own uses, [fo] When this king saves their lives, he will naturally be grateful to this king for a lifetime." ”

Li Yuanqing felt that Xiao Tan was too rigid.

"The prince's matter this time is too deep, if something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable, you must know that our opponents are Your Majesty and the Prince!" Xiao Tan said worriedly.

Li Yuanqing also nodded when he heard this, and then smiled again: "This king is not involved in rebellion, he is just recuperating here, and when the time comes, he will also take the palace guards to help the court quell the rebellion, even if Li Shimin doesn't know what to do, he can't be suspicious of this king, right?"

"And after tomorrow, Li Chengqian will become the target of everyone, and the world's corporal clans and clans will take this opportunity to flock up. If they have a headache from father and son, who will notice this king?"

The more Li Yuanqing thought about it, the more relaxed he became, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Tan listened to Li Yuanqing's words, and also felt that this matter was designed seamlessly, and there would be no consequences.

"Then the prince still wants to fight for the world?" Xiao Tan made it clear.

Li Yuanqing smiled mysteriously when he heard this, and said with a look of wisdom beads in his hand: "Lao Tzu said: 'The husband only does not fight, and he cannot fight with him'. Li Shimin's father and son killed each other, and they were about to lose the Tang Dynasty's qi, so the king only needed to push the boat down the river and let them fight more fiercely. ”

Xiao Tan nodded when he heard this, and finally felt more relieved, poured wine for himself and the Dao King with a wine spoon, raised his hands and was about to speak, when he heard someone outside shouting and neighing, boiling the sky.

Knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly put down the wine glass and said, "The prince will hide first, and the minister will go out to have a look." ”

"It's going to be fine!" Li Yuanqing was so frightened that his expression changed.

As soon as the two of them got up and didn't stand up, they heard the guards and people at the gate of the courtyard tearing up, and standing in the hall, they could see the messy torches and figures outside.

In an instant, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps breaking into the courtyard, Xiao Tan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran outside and shouted: "Who are you who dare to trespass into the mansion of His Royal Highness the Dao King?"

Dao King Li Yuanqing has always felt that he is sitting firmly on the fishing boat, but at this time, his frightened face turned pale, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he only hid behind Xiao Tan and looked out.

Xiao Tan drank and asked, only to see a thin Taoist walking out slowly with a whisk in his hand, and said with extreme disdain: "His Royal Highness the Dao King?"

This person Xiao Tan knew, it was none other than Su Zhenyang, a disciple of Chen Ping's seat, who knew that he might have been deceived today, and his anger went straight up.

Rolled his eyes up and said, "Call Chen Ping and Cai Wenying to see me." ”

"Hehe, not a small tone? Someone came and took them down. ”

With Su Zhenyang's order, several strong men couldn't help but say that they tied up Xiao Tan and Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing shouted in fright: "This king is the king of Dao, the brother of His Majesty today, you, where are you going to get me?"

"King Dao, don't be afraid, our Emperor Wenjia is invited."

"Emperor Wenjia?"

"Where did you get an Emperor Wenjia?"

Li Yuanqing and Xiao Tan were both ignorant when they heard this, and let a few strong men push and shove out of the manor.

Then he was placed on the horse horizontally, and he bumped all the way to the main altar of the Sanming Immortal Sect.

The two of them were dragged off their horses and pushed in.

Along the way, I saw a large number of bonfires burning not far from both sides of the road, the fire was shining brightly, and there were people coming and going on the road, although no one made a loud noise, but the chatting was still buzzing with greetings.

Li Yuanqing and Xiao Tan's ears were buzzing, and their eyes were dim by the firelight, and they didn't dare to run away, so they could only walk forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. When I walked to a gate, I heard the voice of the mountain shouting long live:

"Long live Emperor Wenjia!"

"Long live Emperor Wenjia!"

The two of them were shocked and hurriedly walked forward, only to see that the courtyard was brightly lit, and Cai Wenying in a red crown dress was sitting on the high platform.
