Located on the west side of the Forbidden City, the West Garden was the seat of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Garden. Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, successive kings have built many exquisite buildings around the Taiye Pool. So, while outside the Forbidden City. But in fact, it has been turned into a forbidden place for ordinary people.

Moreover, since Emperor Zhengde was unwilling to live a boring life in the palace, he left the forbidden city and lived in the new house of the leopard house in the northwest of the imperial city, and this is where the cabinet is located. Therefore, the area around the Taiye Pond has become the political and military center of the empire within a radius of more than 20 miles. The original word "leopard room" is pronounced from Arabic, and the homonym of "Bao Fang Yi" is transformed into "leopard room", which is translated as "Skill Academic Research Center"

Therefore, the leopard room mentioned by later generations is actually the lewd center of Emperor Wuzong's Qin raising fierce beasts, and there is no factual basis.

Of course, this is just a rumor by posterity. It's just far-fetched.

At this moment, Huang Jin and Feng Zhen were shuttling between the dense palaces under the leadership of a eunuch. As an ancient. Of course, these two people didn't know that since Emperor Zhengde moved the political and military center of the empire to this area, the next few dynasties have all turned this place into the core of this huge eastern country. Zhongnanhai.

Feng Zhen is still the first, second to such a critical party. I was dizzy inside, and I felt that I had never seen so many houses and so many exquisite scenes in my life. Under the mood shock, the breathing was not disturbed, and the dignified generation of southern boxers was a little out of breath. The majesty of the Heavenly Family, which was usually unimaginable, is now alive in front of you.

There was no one around.

The footsteps of only three people echoed among the red walls and tiles around them.

"What, you're tired, do you want to rest?" Huang Jin has been observing Feng Zhen, as a martial arts master, with such a representative of Southern Boxing around him, even if it is his own teammates, Huang Jin still subconsciously maintains a high degree of vigilance.

This is the heart of vigilance between the warriors and the warriors.

"No, or something?" Feng Zhen trembled a little, and asked in an anxious tone: "Huang Gong, where is my master, is he okay?" Huang Jin said coldly: "What do you care about now?" The rebels are coming. Hurry up before them and stop them, that's what your master means. ”

"En-en-en." Feng Zhen couldn't help nodding: "My master has already told me before entering the palace to let me listen to Mr. Lu." If you say it's all right, it's all right. My breath was a little messy, and I guess I was nervous. ”

"Giggles." Huang Jin seemed to have heard something funny, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Follow our family, there is a time to open your eyes." In the meantime, it will naturally give you a background. As long as you fight bravely, you will enter Jinyiwei to be a hundred or even a thousand households in the future, and it is not a matter of Xiao Luzi's words. ”

Feng Zhen had a hint of joy on his face, but immediately shook his head: "Lao Huang, you can't be like this. Feng Zhen was down, if it wasn't for the master who picked me back from the street, Lao Feng didn't know what the situation was now. It doesn't matter what you want to be a human being, but this word of loyalty must be adhered to. ”

Huang Jin originally had the intention of recruiting Feng Zhen, but now seeing that he was so unpopular, he sneered: "You are playing a little showman." Free for you. Anyway, today's incident, our family doesn't expect you to contribute. Wait a minute, I saw Zhu Huan, I have to cook, and you blocked a few of his minions for me. ”

Huang Jin and Feng Zhen sneaked into the leopard room, their eyes blackened. I don't know what the situation is inside and outside the imperial city, and I don't know where Zhu Huan and the others have gone.

Zhu Huan is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is already in charge of the palace ban, so if he wants to enter the city, he can swagger and call the door. Unlike Huang Jin and Feng Zhen, they are three points faster.

Therefore, as soon as Huang and Feng entered the city, they urged the inner line to run wildly in the leopard room and ran straight to that. The inner line is foaming at the mouth, and it is about to be unable to support it when I see it.

"Okay, that's it." The inner line couldn't help but breathe, and there was a long passage in front of him, with red walls on both sides: "This is only six hundred meters away from His Majesty's house, and it is the only way." ”

"Well, just wait here." Huang Jin nodded. "You can go."

The words fell into the net, and the inside line immediately ran away. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.

Huang Jin leaned the water and fire stick in his hand against the wall: "After walking such a long way, our family is also a little tired." Feng Zhen, seeing that you are nervous like that, quickly adjust your breathing, if you guess correctly, we will walk in front of Lao Zhu. ”

After speaking, chaotic footsteps sounded in the distance, and then a frantic shout: "Escort." Escort! ”

Looking up, there was a dazzling torch in front of me, and there was already a fire in the pavilion. It burns red in the dark night.

Huang Jin's face changed greatly: "Zhu Huan should be damned." Luck again, big moves. ”

Zhu Huan thought that the twenty or so henchmen on his hand alone were obviously not enough to control the situation, in order to create chaos, in order to contain the guards of the imperial city, Zhu Huan and his subordinates kept throwing torches in their hands towards the houses next to them.

There were constant fires lit, shouts everywhere, and the screams of gongs beating to put out fires everywhere.

The cries and shouts grew louder and louder. In an instant, the entire Xiyuan was a mess.

Feng Zhen was still gasping loudly, the torches in front of him were getting closer and closer, and the sound of loud footsteps gradually filled the entire long passage.

By the light of the torches. You can see the colorful flying fish suit in front of you.

Huang Jin suddenly took a step forward and stood in the middle of the passage. He closed his eyes and spread his arms wide. "I've been waiting for this day for sixteen years. I don't want to wait any longer, come on! ”

Win or die, anyway, I won't go back to a small place like Anlu.

The most tragic thing in life is to have empty ambitions, but to eat and wait for death in a remote corner.

Tianxingjian, a gentleman should be brave and fierce to advance and strive for self-improvement.

West Garden, Cabinet Duty Room.

The cabinet room is only 600 steps away from Zhengde's fine house, and there is only a small courtyard in between.

When Guo Xun walked out of the room, he was suddenly smoked by the hot air coming from inside.

It's March, there's still a fire in it, and the elders of the three pavilions are all very old, and there are no other small officials to serve, so they all sit on their chairs proudly. and argued weakly about something.

They are all over sixty years old, and their flesh is weakened. Naturally, I can't bear the cold of spring at night.

Guo Xun was born as a martial artist and a strong man, and as soon as he entered the house, he was so hot that he couldn't stand it. He couldn't help but slander: In this West Garden, there is a patient and a group of Yin people with five incomplete roots, and then three old men, and this Yin Qi is inevitably too heavy.

"The three pavilion elders are here, I thought you were all back home?" Guo Xun smiled slightly and arched his hand towards the three of them.

The cool breeze he brought in when he entered the house made Yang Tinghe frown, shrunk his shoulders, and raised his eyes to look at him. There was a hint of caution in his tone: "Lord Guo,

"What are the elders doing, what are I doing?" Guo Xun touched his face and felt that his face was a little rough. He sighed: "I am on duty today, Your Majesty is sick like that, I can't rest assured, I will personally lead the team." By the way, the elders seem to be talking about something, and there is nothing left and right, so tell me Lao Guo to listen to it, and it will take some time. When Mao Ji heard this, he immediately came to his senses, he stood up, and said angrily: "Lao Guo, you came just in time." You judge this theory. Your Majesty is sick like this, and we, as auxiliary ministers, have not seen Your Majesty for a month, and we don't know what the Holy One looks like now. It makes sense that we should all meet each other. But Motosuke said not to worry. Everything is arranged. Hum. Arrangement, what arrangement, how arrangement? ”

He flicked his sleeves and couldn't help but burst: "No, I can't say I want to break through today." ”

Yang Tinghe said quietly: "Mao Xiang, there's no need. ”

Guo Xun smiled: "Lao Mao, you are still talking about this, since Your Majesty said so, naturally he has his reasons, we are courtiers to follow the implementation, what do you want to do so much?" ”

Mao Ji said angrily: "Lord Guo, what are you talking about?" It's really His Majesty's will not see us, I don't think it's necessary, right? There are villains around Your Majesty now. But there is a will, and it is all conveyed by Sun Dan, the cloth cloth, and Bi Yun, the eunuch, so that the ghost knows whether it is true or false? ”

Guo Xun pretended to be frightened: "Edict." Not really, right? ”

"How can it be, I heard that the Son of Heaven is now unconscious, and he may be able to do it at any time." Mao Ji's eyes flashed with tears: "We are auxiliary ministers." It's ridiculous that you can't even see Your Majesty. It is a matter of national capital, and Yang Xiang and Jiang Xiang are unwilling to be responsible. I, Mao Jinai, am the second assistant. I'm in charge of this. Today, no matter what, come out of the mouth of His Majesty. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the door.

Guo Xun held a hand and stopped him: "Mao Xiang, Your Majesty is seriously ill, you rushed over so boldly." It's going to be troublesome if you're surprised, and even with me, the person in charge of the palace ban, you still don't want to embarrass me! ”

Mao Ji was about to speak, when suddenly, there was a tsunami-like noise outside, followed by a raging fire, illuminating the night sky in the southeast.

Such a big movement immediately alarmed the other two people in the room, and even Jiang Mian, who had been sitting on the chair and making a wooden figure, stood up suddenly, trembling and said to Yang Tinghe: "Yang Xiang, what's going on outside, what's wrong, you quickly think of a way!" Speaking of this, there was a hint of this in his tone.

Yang Tinghe seemed to have everything as expected. He closed his eyes and said lightly: "Can't mess up, can't mess up, don't move, stay here." Although the tone was flat, there was an indescribable prestige.

Mao Ji saw the chaos outside like this, and knew that they had moved in Pingqiu, so he naturally refused to rub it here. Hearing Yang Tinghe say this, when he saw Guo Xun blocking his way, he suddenly became angry and roared angrily: "Get out of the way for me, as the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, there is such a mess outside, but you don't care, which rule is it." Mao will go to the leopard room to escort me to see who dares to stop me. ”

Guo Xun is like a mirror in his heart. "I can't say I want to offend Mao Xiang today, and Lord Yuanfu also said it just now, so let the big guys stay still. Guo Xun naturally obeyed his orders. ”

"You dare!" Mao Ji slapped the table fiercely: "Guo Xun, who gave you the guts, what's going on with the riots outside?" ”

"I don't know what's going on, but; Mao Xiang wants to get out of this house today, but it is a little difficult. Guo Xun suddenly ripped off his robe. Revealing his chest full of scars, he stood in front of Mao Ji like an iron tower: "If Mao Xiangru wants to go out today, Guo Xun must not agree to the more than 100 scars and arrow wounds on his body." ”

"Rascals, ruffians!" Mao Ji's face was distorted.

"Yes, Lao Guo is going to be a hooligan today. Mao Xiang, our saint is the first class of wise male lords throughout the ages, what is the reason for this little disturbance outside, you and I need to worry about it? I advise you, wait for the decree. ”

"You," Ryu was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, there was a sound of neat footsteps outside.

The four people in the room looked up at the same time, but saw two people walking in the courtyard outside.

One person was Emperor Zhengde's personal eunuch Bi Yun, who had a sad face and stumbled when he walked. It looks like it's going to fall down at any moment.

The other piece is Sun Dan.

Sun Dan was dressed in cloth, and his expression was neither sad nor joyful. He was wearing a green coat, holding the hem of his clothes in his left hand and a scroll of yellow silk in his right hand, his steps were flat and steady, and every step seemed to have been calculated. Not long, not short, exactly one and a half feet.

A clear voice came: "Where is Yang Fu?" There is a holy decree. ”

Yang Tinghe stood up suddenly, his hands trembled like autumn leaves in the wind, and his eyes were full of tears: "Yang Tinghe is here!" ”

Guo Xun and Mao Ji, who were still making a fuss just now, quieted down at the same time, with two lines of tears on their faces

：

"Minister, Guo Xun is here."

"Minister, Mao Ji is here."

Sun Dan seemed to be slow and fast, and walked into the house in an instant, he held high the holy decree, and said quietly: "His Majesty the Emperor has already made a big move, and there is an edict to all cabinet ministers and Guo Xun. ”

"Your Majesty!" Bi Yun, who was following Sun Dan, fell softly to the ground and cried bitterly.

Yang Tinghe only felt that his whole body was as soft as noodles: "Minister, Yang Tinghe takes the order." "Kneel down.

Sun Dan stretched out his hand holding the hem of his clothes, supported Yang Tinghe, and said sadly: "Yang Xiang doesn't need to kneel, Emperor Daxing said that you are old and don't need to kneel to receive orders." Emperor Daxing also said that his behavior was ridiculous over the years, which made Yang Xiang suffer a lot of grievances, and he was sorry. ”

When Yang Tinghe heard this thoughtful sentence, his heart ached, and he vomited a mouthful of blood all over the ground: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Yang Tinghe's duty is to not dare to have the slightest complaint." Your Majesty treats the ministers with high righteousness, and the ministers can only do their best, and then die! ”

West Garden, the passage outside the leopard room.

The torches approached, and the eyes were full of Jinyiwei's gorgeous flying fish suits. In the blink of an eye, the echoes of the roaring "escort" on the red walls on both sides blended together, layered on top of each other, and rushed to the face like a violent wind.

At this time, Huang Jin moved, he raised his left foot and swept towards the long stick leaning against the wall, and the slender stick popped out like a spring, "Whew!" With a thud, he flew forward, hitting the nose of the brocade guard at the front, and smashed him screaming. There was blood all over the face.

At this time, Feng Zhen saw that Huang Jin's body shrank and bounced up instantly, like a strong building monkey. Screamed "Hit!" He grabbed the water and fire prisoner dragon stick in mid-air, "Slightly! A blow swept into the neck of one of the brocade guards, breaking the man's neck.

Feng Zhen also knew this. Shopkeeper Huang is a powerful character, but he didn't expect his martial arts to be like this. It seems that he is just at the same level as himself. And. This person's stick is fast and weird. Replace it with yourself. Neighbor Chopsticks Seven confronted him, but he was afraid that he would also suffer a small loss.

What a yellow brocade, the person is still in the air, with a long stick in his hand. It has fallen like raindrops: "Hit hit, hit." Let's beat you with a stick and a turtle and don't come out! ”

The tragic screams continued, this move Huang Jin had been gathering momentum for a long time, and it was the essence of his martial arts, and he immediately caught the Jinyi guards off guard. In an instant, three more brocade guards lay on the ground, losing their combat effectiveness.

The aisle was already narrow, and so many people were squeezed in at once, and the numerical advantage of the Jinyi Guards couldn't be waved, and they were suddenly in chaos after being hit by this sudden blow. Someone is shouting: "Shoulder to shoulder, divide this, thief!" Someone panicked and pulled the embroidered spring knife on his waist.

The enemy's chaos was in Huang Jin's arms, and he naturally refused to stop, and as soon as Pu landed, he was hit by a stick on his head, and the guard's head was pumped. If this stick is implemented, this person will become an idiot even if he does not die.

"Boom!" With a bang, a spear struck, just stopping the long stick in Huang Jin's hand.

An uncomfortable backlash came. Huang Jin flipped backwards and turned his head before dissolving this force into invisibility.

He said with a strange sound, a long stick on the ground, and his whole body hung on it, like a big monkey, and his eyes were still blinking.

Holding a spear in his hand, standing in front of Huang Jin was Zhu Huan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Because the passage was too narrow, he waved his right hand. Several of the guards in front of him retreated at the same time.

Zhu Huan's eyes lit up: "What a handsome big holy stick." Are you Huang Gonggong? ”

Huang Jin jumped down from the stick, his body curled up again, and shouted sharply: "It's our family, Zhu Huan, you are in trouble, and you will be arrested before you are tied." ”

Zhu Huan looked at the alleyway and laughed: "Gonggong Huang, the good location you chose, here Zhu Mou's numerical advantage can't be waved, admire, admire!" However, since Zhu became this commander, he has regarded himself as a dead man, and he has never been afraid of anyone. ”

Huang Jin's face was full of viciousness, and he didn't wait for him to speak. Zhu Huan glanced at Feng Zhen again: "Old Feng, you are also here, there is some trouble tonight, do you want to go together?"

Feng Zhen's body didn't tremble, he straightened his waist and walked out, his steps were calm and powerful, and he was a grandmaster: "Please also ask for advice!" ”

Zhu Huan smiled, "Sure enough, we have to go side by side, one is a stick master, the other is a Southern Boxing Grandmaster, Zhu Huan is very worthwhile." After speaking. With a smile on his face, he shouted to Qin Guan and Han Yue behind him: "Leave it to me here, and the two of you will take your men to break through this wall and go over to escort you."

"Yes!" At the sound of the order, two brocade-clothed guards carried large axes and slashed at the wall, trying to force a hole in it.

"Bold!" Huang Jin was shocked and angry, but before the voice fell, a gust of wind blew in his face. A large spear suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was straight at his throat.

Huang Jin was startled, pressed the long stick in his hand, and tried to entangle Zhu Huan's spear.

But at this moment, the head of the gun suddenly disappeared, and Feng Zhen's voice came from his ears: Be careful! ”

Huang Jin was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously jumped back, but he was in mid-air, but his chest hurt.

When he landed, he looked down and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It turned out that Zhu Huan's shot had already opened his placket. A shallow wound was cut on his chest.

A great deal of blood gushed out and scattered all over the ground.

If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly just now, Zhu Huan's shot would have broken through his chest.

Feng Zhen shouted, and his right fist "Huh!" With a bang, he went straight to Zhu Huan's vest. The fist slammed into the air with a whistling sound, revealing the explosive power of the punch.

Zhu Huan knew how powerful it was, and he didn't dare to take it hard. The tail of the gun was a little on the ground, and the whole person kicked on the wall like a big gecko, and shot towards Huang Jin, "Huang Jin, aren't you very fast, let's compete today." See who's faster! "As he spoke, he shot a dozen shots.

The sound of wall sticks smashing against each other was heard in the air.

"So fast!" Feng Zhen's pupils shrank, and he slid forward like an ice skate in the gossip direction under his feet. I'm about to join a warband.

Huang Jin let out a knife-like scream: "Feng Zhen, you idiot, I can't die, stop the other thieves, don't let them take a detour."

Feng Zhen had just appeared, and the other brocade guards had already carved a hole the size of a bowl in the wall.

Feng Zhen had no choice but to stop and rush towards them. Two figures leaped out, one with two swords in one hand, and one with two empty hands. It was Qin Guan and Han Yue.

These two were originally defeated by Feng Zhen's subordinates. Ben was no match for him. But today's situation is different, Qin and Han are both wearing thin leather armor. Feng Zhen had two more empty hands, and once the fist hit them, no one knew how much strength was left. Moreover, there are two iron heads inlaid on the tips of Qin Guan's official boots, if he kicks it, even if it is a cow, it will be instantaneous.

"Lao Feng, our brothers admire your martial arts very much." Qin Guan shouted: "It's just that today's matter, our masters. I won't show mercy to my subordinates, and I may not do my best to return to Brother Feng. ”

Feng Zhen shouted: "You talk too much nonsense." With that, he punched out. This punch was so powerful that it brought a gust of wind and instantly hit Qin Guan's iron toe toe.

"Dang!" With a bang, there was a sonorous sound of gold and iron.

"Ahh Behind. There was another painful cry from Huang Jin.

"Haha, Lao Huang, you shot me again. than fast. You can't compare to me, you can't compare to me with strength, see what you use to stop me? Zhu Huan burst out laughing.

"He***, our family can't lose, our family doesn't want to go back to the poor countryside where Anlu's birds don't!" Huang Jin continued to scream, but his hands did not stop, and he fought fiercely with Zhu Huan, while fighting, he cursed sharply: "Sun Dan, Sun Dan, what are you doing this kid, why haven't you come yet, our family is going to die, come over quickly!" ”

A few bits of hot blood splashed out of nowhere, falling directly into Feng Zhen's neckline and causing him to tremble.

Feng Zhen didn't look back, just punched forward. Although he also hit Qin and Han in succession, the armor on these two people was very strong, and he couldn't defeat them for a while.

I saw that there was blood gushing out of the mouths of these two people, obviously suffering a lot of internal injuries, but the movements were still ruthless and fast, as if they were not dying.

In front of him were countless legged shadows and Han Yue's twin knives that were fast and slow.

Over there, Jinyiwei suddenly burst out with cheers: "It's time to get out!" Then there was the sound of bricks falling to the ground, and a thick cloud of dust spread through the alleyway.

Feng Zhen's heart sank, and his movements slowed down. The short knife in Han Yue's hand took the opportunity to scratch a two-inch-long cut on his waist.

Feng Zhen was drenched in cold sweat, and shouted in his heart: Master, why haven't you arrived, it's almost too late!
