Text Chapter 161 Red Fire Nirvana Drinking blood and testing the sword

Today, in the early dynasty on the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace, the anger in Emperor Liu Che's heart made him want to throw off his sleeves and leave several times. However, with the firmness of his tempered heart, he held back stubbornly.

For a long time, he has long known the strength of the old and stubborn forces in the DPRK and China, and this is also the main reason why he has not dared to act rashly in those thoughts in his heart in the past few years after he succeeded to the throne.

But he didn't expect them to be so presumptuous, after the first few rounds of temptation, seeing that the emperor has not taken actual action, at today's court meeting, they suddenly attacked.

The cause of the incident is that yesterday I don't know what happened, and the side hall next to the Gaozu Taimiao caught fire again. After being inspected by Taijoji Temple, it is said that it was caused by lightning strikes again.

As a result, the old ministers, including more than 20 princes and generals in the army, jointly signed a concert, which basically meant that His Majesty the Emperor immediately stopped using troops against the neighboring countries of Fanbang, and did not embark on a road of reckless military force, burying the good situation created by the two former emperors of Wen and Jing! What is the use of those barren lands? By the way, Emperor Lian began to change the ancestral system without authorization, undermined the imperial court employment system, and caused repeated warnings from God, and also blamed. The whole piece was harshly worded and unceremonious, and did not save any face for Emperor Liu Che.

Among these nobles and nobles, some of them are old foxes who have been in the world for a long time, and from the emperor's recent series of actions, they have sensitively smelled something bad.

In their opinion, the glory and wealth and the century-old family business are all brought about by the power in their hands. In the Han Dynasty, the cake of power is such a piece, and they have always enjoyed it very comfortably. This is what their ancestors earned by shedding their blood for them, and it is the reward that future generations should receive, even if it is extravagant and flashy, it is also a peace of mind to enjoy, and others have no right to comment.

But now, looking at the signs of this ambitious emperor, he actually wants to re-divide this piece of the cake, how can such a thing be compromised? The sons of their own family helped your old Liu family to lay down this country, and Emperor Gaozu was all with the heroes, and he was crowned the king and marquis, and he rested with the country. How many years have passed? Do you want to take over the power? Never say yes!

Besides, his gang is different from those princes who were killed for their ill intentions, and they are still very loyal to the imperial power of the Liu family. The emperor wants to wrest power from them, and the last thing they want is what they want.

What do you mean by "meritocracy"? This is to make those commoners, scholars, and scholars squeeze into the court, and sit and discuss military affairs with their own nobles, what kind of system is it!

Liu Che sat on the high throne, looking at the detached guys below, one by one unruly holding their necks, waiting for him to make a statement. He couldn't help but feel a fever on his face, he really wanted to drink the Yulin army outside the hall to rush in and kill them all, leaving no one behind!

But this crazy idea is just thinking about it in my heart. He glanced at the two groups of ministers with an expressionless face, at this time, no one dared to stand up and speak for the emperor, even honest ministers such as Ji Di and Zheng Shishi, they just kept a straight face and didn't say a word.

The emperor doesn't blame anyone, he doesn't have the majesty of his words now, how dare the courtiers gamble their own net worth and lives against this behemoth that occupies the court! Among the hundred officials, how many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials obeyed the will of these lords? Although he has not specifically verified it, he believes that there must be no minority.

Therefore, at the end of the court, he chose to compromise. The emperor issued an edict to be vegetarian for seven days, in order to blame himself!

The victors walked away triumphantly. Although the emperor has not yet withdrawn those edicts, since he has begun to give in, it is only a matter of time before they are merely a matter of time, and I believe that if he can judge the situation rationally, he should be able to hear a satisfactory answer before the next court meeting.

The emperor, whose face was blue, took off his dragon suit, put on a white robe, didn't eat any meals at noon, and locked himself in the Xuanshu Pavilion, not knowing what he was thinking. All the palace maids of the guards were silent and trembling.

And in the moon full building in the downtown of Chang'an, Yuan Zhao's face was also not good-looking, he looked at the old man who was covered with blood and fell to the ground, and then looked at the woman who was held in Chen Hui's arms, full of tears and disheveled, and anger began to rise in his heart.

The child who was trampled on the ground by a big foot was struggling desperately, and his body had been punched and kicked a lot, but he was stubborn and silent, and he wanted to get up again and again to save his sister. If he hadn't arrived in time just now and hit a single knife with a wine glass, I'm afraid he would have already scored two points by now.

Someone pulled his sleeve, it was Dongfang Shuo, who came over later, and whispered a few words in his ear, some of these people he knew, they were all famous people in Chang'an City, I was afraid that Yuan Zhao would not know the severity, and if he made a rash move, he would get into trouble.

Yuan Zhao nodded, with no expression on his face. The person on the other side had already seen the face of the person who came at this time, and several guards recognized the little marquis, and hurriedly approached the masters to explain.

Everyone was stunned, the reputation of Changle Hou, since returning from the trip to the north, Chang'an City has been well known, they have also heard their own Lao Tzu talk about it, but they didn't expect to see it today, it was such an ordinary teenager. Everyone's hearts are full of contempt, it's really better to be famous than to meet, the legend is all false!

"Hey! Boy, are you Changle Hou? Hehe, I don't know if the hair has grown up, so I came out to meddle in my business. Forget it, for the sake of you, you can be regarded as a marquis, and I won't care about you if I fly my knife. It's time to eat, what to do, don't watch the excitement here! ”

Zhou Yunsheng waved his hand generously, meaning to give Yuan Zhao a face and let him go.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhao didn't even move, raised his right hand with a cold face and pointed at them, word by word, very clearly.

"I'll just say it once, you'd better hear it all. Immediately let the girl and the child go, and send someone to treat the old man, and compensate as much as he could, and the matter was put to rest. ”

The meaning is expressed very simply and clearly, and he doesn't want to say a word about these guys who rely on their fathers and family forces to make a fortune.

What the? The Li brothers looked at each other with Chen Hui, Fu Yanbing and others, thinking that they had heard it wrong. Don't ask who is here, this little rabbit cub really dares to say!

"Brother Hui, people told you to let this girl go, why are you still holding it, why don't you give it to this little marquis obediently, let him also taste what it is like to be a woman, hahaha!"

"Hey, why is this kid so ignorant! I knew that I was coming to rob a woman at such a young age, and it turned out that I was also a romantic embryo, so I didn't look at who Brother Hui was? ”

"Yes, yes, come, if you have the ability to come and grab it yourself, what kind of ability is it to say cruel words, what kind of thing, do you really think you are a marquis? ……。 ”

In the midst of cynicism and foul language, Chen Hui sneered and pinched Lu'er's chest with his hand, and Miss Lu'er was embarrassed and painful, and her tears did not stop.

Dongfang Shuo regretted in his heart, he really shouldn't have taken Yuan Zhao to this place for dinner today. Seeing Yuan Zhao being humiliated, he felt even more sorry in his heart, but in a hurry, he couldn't think of any way to get rid of the embarrassment in front of him for a while. There was such a big commotion, why didn't the owner of the restaurant show up? The man came, and perhaps he could be calmed down.

In the midst of the chaos, he saw Yuan Zhao smile faintly on his face and sighed slightly. Dongfang Shuo heard him whisper: "A bunch of waste, it's really a shame on your ancestors!"

Stunned, Yuan Zhao pulled him to take a step back, flashed out of the gap at the door, and commanded in a low voice: "Go, for the evil one, cut off the legs and arms, and let the rest be a bloody lesson!"

Dongfang Shuo was taken aback, he hadn't figured out the meaning of these words, a figure had already passed by, as fast as lightning.

"Yes! Master. ”

With the crisp sound of promise, the girl's agile figure dragged over, like a rainbow shining, and the famous sword "Red Fire Nirvana" was finally unsheathed!

Xiaoice has already endured for a long time, and Master Xiaohou is the person she respects the most in this world, and the weight in her heart has even exceeded that of her uncle Wei Qing. Hearing that these people dared to insult him in such words, the anger in his heart can be imagined.

The "red fire" came out of the sheath, bringing up a cold pale red edge, although it was summer, there was a chill in the face! The people inside and outside the room who were affected by the circulating qi machine were all taken aback in their hearts, it was so sharp! What kind of sword is this?!

The people who are qualified to serve as guards in these noble families are naturally not ordinary people, and they all have real kung fu in their hands. In addition to the people who stayed outside the building to guard the horses' belongings, there were more than a dozen henchmen who were following him at this time.

They had never thought that someone would dare to commit murder against the sons in this downtown of Chang'an, so they were just watching the excitement from the side. However, suddenly, the atmosphere changed sharply, and a sword light arrived with a surging intent!

The five or six people guarding the door, their reactions were not unpleasant, and their actions were not unfast, and they were frightened, and they stepped forward, intercepting and drawing their knives at the same time. However, the person who came was not only very fast, but also too weird!

Five or six big men, before they could pull out their swords, had already been struck one after another, and in the midst of screams, or holding their arms or covering their thighs, blood splattered up, and they were frightened and discolored, and retreated again and again.

The red fire is stained with blood, and the sword shadow is like a rainbow! The girl snorted, and the momentum was even stronger.

She has an extremely intelligent talent, and she has a natural pride that looks down on everything. I was fortunate to meet Yuan Zhao, and after seeing the majesty of the mountains and the vastness of the sea, the world was no longer in her eyes.

All the while, she followed in his footsteps and did not dare to slack off for a moment. Because the more she knows about Master, the more she feels that he is unattainable! The world he showed her was like an endless firmament. Xiaoice sometimes secretly thinks that the master may really be an immortal. Even if I try my best, I can't match it.

The girl's perseverance and pride since childhood made her never cry out bitterly, even if she practiced the sword until she was scarred, she never shed a single tear. But the only thing that puzzled her was that she didn't know what level she was at now.

At the beginning, Xiaoice was training with Cui Hong, and she still had a reference. But then the master separated the two and taught them different things, and when she competed with others again, there was only one opponent left~ Yuan Zhao.

Every once in a while, Yuan Zhao would consider her martial arts progress. However, every time Xiaoice was discouraged, because she felt as if she had not improved at all, no matter how hard she felt she had put in, she was still not an enemy in front of the master.

In addition to being depressed, as usual, she will get a few words of guidance, and she will remember it more seriously. As for the words that the little master muttered in a low voice, "It seems to have improved a little more...... she listened to it, and she only thought that he was kind enough to comfort her.

However, today's real attack against the enemy, the girl was pleasantly surprised to find that she was already so powerful! In just one move, the sword flower she shook out killed and injured the five or six enemies approaching her, which couldn't help but lift her spirits.

Firmly remember the master's instructions, the first evil is the Chen Hui sitting by the desk! "If you want to get rid of the first evil, you must first cut its wings." This truth was taught by the master, so naturally I will not forget it.

At this time, the rest of the people had already reacted, and when they saw that this girl was so fierce, they were furious, and they picked up their blades one after another and killed them.

Xiaoice listened to the wind and did not look back, between the short bodies, dodged the slashing knife, swung out the horizontal sword, and the enemy behind him fell to the ground and shouted bitterly. She didn't even look at it, her toes flicked, she jumped up, and the incoming sword missed. Xiaoice'er was in mid-air, her willow waist swayed lightly, her flexible body came to a 360-degree turn, the sword blade was everywhere, the sound of the opponent's weapon being broken, exclamations, and screams were repeated, and four or five people were injured under the red fire sword!

From the time she drew her sword and rushed in, to now falling to the ground, blood splattered on the spot, it was just a few blinks of an eye. Dongfang Shuo, who had also danced the sword a few times after drinking, could see the whole process clearly, and at this time he was already standing on the edge of the corridor, dumbfounded, and his heart was beating suddenly.

He looked at the majestic girl who was walking forward with a sword, and then at Yuan Zhao, who was smiling beside him, and there was only one thought in his heart, "Demon!" What kind of demon master teaches what kind of demon apprentice! ”

Among the gentlemen in Chang'an City, although there are many who do not learn and have no skills, there are also some generals who have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they still have some skills. At this moment, the situation in the room was not good, and three brocade-clothed men had already drawn their swords and blocked the injured people behind them.

Fu Yanbing, a descendant of Fu Kuan, Marquis of Yangling. Jin Qu, the descendant of Jin Xin, Marquis of Xinwu. Fan Long, the descendant of Wuyang Hou Fan Xu. plus Zhou Yunsheng, who bullied Lu Jun, they are all behind the gate. Now their fathers are still serving in the army, and they have a lot of power in the Han army, so it is no wonder that they are so arrogant.

Usually, people who know their names don't dare to provoke them at all, let alone show their blades. At this time, I saw that my guards and brothers were all injured by a young girl, their faces were dull, and their murderous intentions were rising, and they looked at each other, and they were about to kill the killer.

However, they were still too slow to react. Xiaoice, who tasted the joy of victory for the first time, felt the satisfied gaze of the master behind her, took a light breath, her body was like a fantasy, and the famous sword "Red Fire" was powerful again!

No one could see clearly what kind of trajectory her figure had passed, when Fu Yanbing and the others had not yet reacted, a flower in front of them, there was a faint girl's body fragrance passing by, it should have been the beautiful nephrite jade fragrance under the moon before the flower, but on the contrary, it was overbearing and heroic, and the sword was bloody!

Without exception, the three generals were all stabbed in the thighs, and they were unsteady on their feet, falling to the ground, and rolling in pain.

When the girl's figure stood in front of her with the bloody aura on the blade of the sword, Chen Hui finally saw her face clearly. The eldest son and eldest grandson of the Qu Shunhou family, who has more than 27,000 households, although he was already a little scared in his heart, he still raised his head and wanted to say a few tough words. But before he could speak, a girl named Xiaoice smiled happily at him, revealing a pair of cute tiger teeth.

"Actually, I want to thank you! Thank you for finally succeeding in angering Master, otherwise I would not have had such a happy opportunity to test my sword! Hehe, but the task assigned by the master still has to be completed. So...... Don't be afraid of pain! ”

The girl is only a teenager this year, these few words are soft-spoken, when the Buddha is just coaxing the younger children next door, these are of course her imitation of Yuan Zhao's bad taste.

Looking at that innocent smile, Chen Hui, who has always been unruly, felt an inexplicable panic, he was just about to stand up and do something, the girl's left hand slapped him on the shoulder, Chen Hui immediately half of his body was numb, and Lu'er in his arms was pulled up by the girl.

The smile on Xiaoice'er's face did not decrease, the sword hidden in his right arm was gently dragged over, and when he turned around, there was already a loud cry behind him, and the arm of the Chen family disciple who was still wantonly light Lu'er just now broke off and fell to the ground.

Xiaoice held the trembling woman in one hand, and carried the sword in the other, the red fire was stained with blood, and the sword body looked more enchanting, and the blood was dropping, like an intermittent curve forward.

None of the rest dared to act rashly, the Li brothers and the rest endured the pain, supported Chen Hui, who had passed out in pain, looked at the broken arm on the ground, and his heart was pounding, he couldn't say what it felt, but everyone knew that today's matter was going to be big!

When passing by Zhou Yunsheng's side, this disciple of the general who had previously mocked Yuan Zhao, when he met the glance that came over, his heart palpitated, and he was hesitating to let go of the child under his feet, but Xiaoice bared his teeth at him.

"You, my master who scolded first?"

"I ...... Yes! Yes...... Yes! ”

There was a pair of tiger-toothed girls who didn't need his answer, the red light of the sword swirled, and the grandson of Pengcheng Hou Zhouchang had a broken hamstring, and he was already half a waste.

The sister of the Lu family, whose face was full of tears, hugged her younger brother, and saw that he was covered in sadness, and her heart was like a knife. Lu Jun was very sensible, endured the pain, and even said that he was not in the way.

The two sisters and brothers didn't care about thanking them at first, and hurriedly ran to the corner of the wall, helped their father, and saw that his head was full of blood, and he was at a loss for a while, just rubbing the blood in a panic, but he didn't know what to do.

Someone walked to the side and squatted down, reached out and touched Old Man Lu's chest, and opened his eyelids to look at it. Then he took out a small black clay bottle from his bosom, poured out a pill, put it in his mouth, lifted his chin, and swallowed it into his stomach with a grunt.

"Don't be nervous, it's okay, you can wake up in a while."

The voice is soft, bringing the warmth of the world.

Lu Jun raised his face full of scars and saw the young man in front of him clearly, the world is hard, but there are people who are persistent. He knew that his name was Yuan Zhao, and people called him Changle Hou.
