Chapter 21: Pacification
On Chang'an Street, Shangguan Qing fell in a pool of blood, and cold plums fell one after another, covering his body.
Then Shangguan Wu, who came later, failed to block the sword of Shengwu Hou, not only that. Shengwu Hou, and the person who blocked King Jingwu, both looked at themselves, this dispute, I am afraid that there will be waves again.......
"Third brother, ninth brother! Why? ”
King Jingwu looked at the dead Shangguan Qing with a dejected expression.
"It's none of your business, you are a prince, not a member of the Shangguan family." Shengwu Hou glanced at King Jingwu, very dissatisfied with his intervention just now.
"Third brother, do you have to break this balance as soon as you return to the Eastern Capital!?" King Jingwu's eyes gradually turned cold.
"I repeat, you remember me, you! Lee Seung-wook! He is the thirteenth prince of the Tang Dynasty Zhongzong, and he is the supreme commander of my Tang Dragon Wuwei! It's the Jingwu King of the Tang Dynasty! It's not a dog from the Shangguan family! Don't forget your identity, I don't want to teach you today, take your people, get out of me! Saint Wu Hou was no longer patient, closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened them, his eyes full of murderous intent swept towards King Jingwu. The green light in the sleeve robe of his right hand suddenly appeared, if King Jingwu dared to say more, his sword would fall on King Jingwu.
This was not to discuss with King Jingwu, but to order him. Among the surviving princes of the previous emperor, the Shengwu Hou was the eldest, and when he was young, these indisputable younger brothers were not less beaten by his fists. So it was then, and it is so now.
"You! - "King Jingwu was furious, but he didn't dare to provoke Shengwu Hou at this time. He knew the temper of the Holy Warrior, and if he dared to say more, his sword would indeed fall on his body.
……………………..
Shangguanqing's death did not calm the stalemate on Chang'an Street, but worsened it.
Shangguan Qing died in front of Shangguan Wu's eyes like this, undoubtedly touching the bottom line of Shangguan Domain, within two days, Shangguan's family lost two masters in a row, and they were both on Chang'an Street in the Eastern Capital, such a shame was something that the Shangguan family had never suffered since they became nobles in the Eastern Capital, "Shengwu Hou, you are looking for death!" ”
With a hard step under his feet, with a bang, Shangguan Wu's body suddenly exuded a violent aura, the breath of the most masculine and strong, like ten thousand thunderbolts, and on Chang'an Street, it was suddenly like being in a furnace, and the temperature rose sharply.
"Shangguan Wu, I don't believe it, you dare to do it to me!"
Shengwu Hou said in a cold voice, not only was he not afraid, but instead took three steps towards Shangguan Wu, with a persecutive posture.
"Presumptuous! Shangguan Wu, what do you want to do? ”
The middle-aged man suddenly broke King Jingwu's spear, turned around suddenly, and said in a cold voice. A wave of aura shot out from his body, and he had a terrifying and violent aura towards Shangguanyu.
Excited by this breath, Shangguan Wu immediately came to his senses, restrained his breath, flicked his sleeves, and the iron cavalry of the Shence Mansion in the distance slowly approached in the direction of Shanglin Yuan.
"Yongwuhou, this king does not matter if you are the head of the Shangguan family or the current head of the country, the defense of the eastern capital has always been in charge of my Long Wuwei, how can it be a place where you can be presumptuous! If your Divine Commander dares to step within ten zhang of Shanglin Yuan, then don't blame me. ”
King Jingwu shouted in a deep voice, if the two sides are allowed to quarrel again, it means that the Shangguan family is going to war with Tiance!
In addition, the three thousand cavalry of Tiance on the other side of Chang'an Avenue also began to move under the leadership of the three great generals, as long as the Shence army dared to approach, then this conflict would evolve into a small-scale war!
"I need an explanation."
Shangguan Wu took two steps forward, pointed to Shangguan Hong, who was dead on the ground, and said to Emperor Wu Hou with a tough attitude.
When Shangguan came to Shanglin Yuan today, the Shangguan family had already learned the news. It's not that they didn't find out until the gate of Shanglin Yuan was broken, it's just that the Shangguan family acquiesced to Shangguan's actions in the first place.
After all, the Shangguan family had been slapped hard by the Tiance Mansion yesterday, and it was understandable to regain some face. Moreover, Shangguan Wu didn't believe that Xu Changhai would really dare to make a big move. Yesterday's incident has already caused His Majesty Long Yan to be displeased, as long as the Tiance Mansion dares to kill again in the Eastern Capital, then His Majesty will never turn a blind eye. At that time, it was not the contradiction between Tiance and Shence, it was still Tiance Mansion that despised His Majesty's imperial authority! This kind of mistake would not be made by Emperor Wuhou, and Xu Changhai would not be so stupid as not to even think of it.
Shangguan Wu's real purpose was to confirm whether Taifu had secretly followed Li Fu to the Eastern Capital.
According to Taifu's character, the Shangguan family would never be allowed to treat Shanglin Yuan created by him like this.
Of course, the most important thing is to determine how much importance Tiance Mansion attaches to Li Fu's identity as the young mansion master. Is it just a title, or is it really to cultivate Li Fu as the successor of Tiance.
What Shangguan never expected was that the Holy Martial Candidate would appear in the Eastern Capital City from Tongguan, which was thousands of miles away.
This is not a good message for the Divine Wisdom Mansion and the forces behind the Divine Strategy. A prince who has been forgotten for a hundred years dares to disrespect the edict of the emperor and step out of Tongguan to the eastern capital. And nothing was revealed before that. The details behind this are thought-provoking.
And now Shangguan Wu pointed to the dead Shangguan Qing to explain to the other party.
Shangguan Hong learned knife skills with Ben Hou, but he was old and frail and the eastern capital was in the cold weather, so the soles of his feet were not slippery. Unfortunately, he was killed by Ben Hou's knife. How about this explanation? Saint Wu Hou casually caught a falling plum blossom with one hand. Squinting slightly, he looked at Shangguan Yu on the opposite side, and replied for Emperor Wuhou.
As if the dead Shangguan Qing was like a dead wild dog on the street, Sheng Wuhou didn't care at all.
Shangguan Qing is good in old age, but after all, he was also a fierce general beside His Majesty, and his strength was also at the level of a quasi-god general. Even if it was snowing heavily and the northern defense line was frozen for thousands of miles, it was impossible to slip on the soles of his feet and die under the knife.
This explanation is naturally very scoundrel, and Shengwu Hou knows that now the two sides just want a step, then I will give you the steps, but not for you to walk down the steps, but to roll down the steps. As for whether you want to go down or not, it's a matter for your Shangguan family.
"Holy Martial Candidates, don't deceive people too much!"
Shangguan Wu shook his head slowly, dropped the Mo knife that had been broken in his hand, and in the slender palm, a trace of silver light appeared, and bursts of palpitating true yuan fluctuations came out............
Just when the atmosphere on both sides was frozen to the extreme, a figure appeared unhurriedly from the Suzaku Avenue in the distance.
With the appearance of this person, the iron horses of both sides stopped and stayed where they were.
"Toast and let Li Fu, Yang Zixu, and Jiang Moyuan go to Taimiao." The person who came didn't seem to notice the tense atmosphere in the field, and looked at the three teenagers lightly, and said.
The person who came was one of the three princes - Lord Taibao
"What! Toast to adults? “
"How is that possible! Lord Toast has not been out of the Taimiao Temple for many years, how could he find these three people! “
King Jingwu and Shangguan Wu's faces changed greatly.
Toast, toast of Taimiao! A Confucian leader who went through five kings. Even His Majesty at the moment has to be honored as a toast to the Lord. On the night of the Eastern Capital two hundred years ago, it was the toast who walked out of the Taimiao, looked at the Eastern Capital full of gunsmoke, and said that sentence indifferently, which sent the current human emperor to the throne.
The Taibao did not come here with any intention of resolving this confrontation. But the meaning of Taibao's words was to let everyone present understand the meaning.
Toast just let these three people go to the Taimiao, explaining that today's matter, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not interfere, once the toast speaks, even His Majesty the Emperor will give three points of face! Not to mention a mere Shangguan family.
"Shengwu Hou, this matter, I will look for you in the future."
Shangguan Yuqiang knew that today's events had to be like this, and the old toast called these three people, but he didn't call Shangguan Yu. It shows that he is already a little dissatisfied with what the Shangguan family has done today. Even if he was unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey the old toast. Holding back the anger in his heart, he looked at the holy martial artist and said.
The reason given by Shengwu Hou first was undoubtedly that Shangguan Wu took the initiative to let Shengwu Hou slap him, and he himself stretched out his face and waited for Shengwu Hou to fight!
Shengwu Hou thought for a moment and said, "Wait until your Shangguan family has this ability to tell me." ”
Shangguan Wu laughed angrily, said no more, and led the iron horse of the Shence Mansion to leave Chang'an Street.
The middle-aged man looked at King Jingwu and shook his head and said, "You are not the eldest grandson, you can't change anything." Let it go, Seung-woo. ”
King Jingwu glanced at this person lightly, ignored him, did not answer, and left with Long Wuwei.
The wind is strong, and the people on Chang'an Street are gradually dispersed.
Only the Taibao and Tiance people are still in front of Shanglin Yuan.
From noon to this time, what happened in the middle of Chang'an Street and in front of Shanglin Yuan fell into the eyes of many people in Dongdu.
On the surface, this is a conflict between Shangguan and Li Fu, but in fact, everyone knows that this is a struggle between the forces of the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the old imperial family. It is the struggle between His Majesty and the old royal family faction today, but between the two factions, it has not yet reached the time to completely tear off the skin. For such a thing, some old people in the Eastern Capital are no longer surprised.
But this time it was very different from the past, and the giants of the two mansions had begun to get involved. It's not the previous petty fights, even the holy warriors who were not allowed to step out of Tongguan have returned to the eastern capital that has not returned for a long time!
"Is this going to break the sky?"
In the mansions of the major nobles in the eastern capital, a feeling of uneasiness is growing and spreading.
Everyone in Shanglin Yuan saluted the middle-aged man, Shengwuhou and Taibao.
Yang Zixu bowed deeply to Shengwu Hou and said: "When I was a child, I often heard about your various deeds, and I admired you very much. ”
"Oh? I didn't expect that Benhou's deeds can still be circulated in the Eastern Capital now? Shengwu Hou looked at Yang Zixu and smiled and said, "It's just ...... You have to grow up as soon as possible, I heard that on this battlefield in the Northern Xinjiang, there are several generals in the Shence Mansion who have made very good military achievements from years ago. Moreover, after this war, I am afraid that the Yuling Army will have a big blood change, and all six departments in the Yuling Army will be abolished. ”
Everyone in the forest garden was silent, and then they remembered the situation of the Yu Ling Army in this battle.
The Yuling Army has gradually declined over the years, but the establishment has not changed, and it is still in the establishment of the five major capitals of the Tang Dynasty. The change of generals in the Yuling Army this time may have a great impact on the situation of the Tang Dynasty.
Many people don't want this adjustment of the Feather Spirit Army to be related to the Tiance Mansion. The Shence Mansion didn't want to.
Today's events, perhaps, also have this reason, right?
"Work hard, the future Datang needs your guard."
After saying this, Shengwu Hou left very indifferently.
The middle-aged man said a few words to the Taibao and the three major gods, and then left with the holy warriors.
"And what about this gate?"
Someone in the Shanglin Garden asked
Taibao walked over, looked at the ruin-like courtyard gate, shook his head and said, "No." ”
Yang Zixu was very puzzled: "Don't cultivate? If we don't cultivate, who do we expect to do? Shangguan's family? ”
Taibao said: "Yes, the toast teacher said that he will let the Shangguan family repair it in the future." ”
Yang Zi scratched his head, looked at the rubble fragments all over the street, and thought to himself, how is this possible?
"I see."
Li Fu patted Yang Zixu's shoulder, smiled and said, "Wait, the Shangguan family will come to repair." ”
"Okay, you guys pack up and go to Taimiao with me." Taibao looked at Li Fu and pointed out.
"Are you going to Taimiao?" Yang Zixu was slightly moved, a little uneasy, the word Taimiao seemed to be stained with magic power, which made him both awe and fear.
"Toast to your ....." Yang Zixu muttered in shock
…………………………
In the Tiance Mansion at the end of the Vermilion Bird Shinto, the middle-aged man and the Holy Martial Candidate sat opposite each other.
A pot of tea was placed horizontally between the two, there was no heat, and a faint smoke lingered around the two.
The middle-aged man was silent for a while and said, "You shouldn't have come back." ”
"I don't want to come back either." Shengwu Hou lowered his head and played with the jade pendant on his waist.
"But what's the solution? There are always some bastards in the world who are forcing you, and you have no choice but to come back. The corners of Saint Wuhou's mouth smiled slightly, looking in the direction of Shanglin Yuan, as if he saw an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Does he know?" The middle-aged man rested the teapot on the charcoal stove, holding a bronze fire in one hand and stirring the fire.
"It was the toast teacher who asked me to come back, and he has no right to ask. However, your Tiance has been in a very bad situation in Datang in recent years, and now you have begun to vigorously implement the festival envoy system, and you are afraid that the position of the Emperor Wuhou will not be stable" Shengwu Hou clenched the jade pendant in his hand and raised his head to look at the middle-aged man.
