Forbidden city

Inside the Imperial Garden

Strange stone Luobu, the beautiful wood is verdant, Zhu Houzhao wears a black gauze folded scarf on the colored stone road, wears an embroidered dragon robe, a collar, narrow sleeves, a golden dragon and jade belt at the waist, and steps on colorful leather boots, is watching the red fish in the lake, and also holds some bait in his hand, and scatters it into the green lake water from time to time.

Followed by two palace maids and a eunuch, the two palace maids each held the sun and moon fan, gently shaking behind the emperor, the eunuch held a yellow Luo umbrella in both hands, embroidered with colorful dragons and phoenixes, followed by two palace maids holding the sun and moon fan, the umbrella cover leaned forward, covering the top of Zhu Houzhao's head.

At this time, a brocade guard dressed in a big red python suit, a flying fish suit, a black gauze hat, a luan belt, and an embroidered spring knife walked behind Zhu Houzhao, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen Qian Ning has something important to play!" ”

"Oh? …… It's Channing, what's the matter with you? Zhu Houzhao heard that it was Qian Ning, and asked casually without looking back.

"The county magistrate of Shanghai County used the property seized from the Japanese to help the victims of the disaster! This is not to put your majesty down in your eyes, it is simply a big rebellion. ”

Qian Ning got the news early in the morning that some officials impeached Le Wen, but Zhu Houzhao only cared about having fun and didn't watch it at all, and the emperor didn't care about other things.

Now that he has finally grasped the handle of Lewen's kid, how can he let this kid go so easily, although it has been a few months, Qian Ning's hatred for Lewen's brother has not been eliminated at all, but he has always wanted to find an opportunity to put Lewen's brother to death and hurry up.

"Oh? Shanghai County? Is that the young county magistrate surnamed Le? ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard that Qian Ning was going to impeach the young county magistrate who drank and wrote poems with him a few months ago, he turned around and asked Qian Ning a little strangely.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is the county order named Lewen, and some of the officials below are already dissatisfied with him, please Your Majesty must punish him severely."

Qian Ning couldn't help but be happy when he saw that Zhu Houzhao still remembered that Lewen, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has not forgotten the offense against him by Lewen's younger brother Le Chao at that time, it seems that these two brothers are dead.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head indifferently and smiled slightly. If you are worried, he said: "This year, there have been many uprisings in various places, or because there are too many places that have been affected, although this Lewen has privately used the property seized from the hands of the Japanese invaders, but he has also made great contributions. Moreover, the disaster situation was urgent, and although his actions were unseemly, his merits and demerits were offset and there was no need to punish him severely, so he was temporarily dismissed from his official position. Listen to the command in the future. ”

Zhu Houzhao, a famous playful emperor in history, although he is very playful, he is also more aware of the people's feelings, and he also knows that this Qian Ning is still obsessed with what happened last time, so he doesn't care about Qian Ning's impeachment.

"But Your Majesty, that Lewen's younger brother Le Chao, dares to lift Your Majesty up, this is a great crime of disrespect."

Qian Ning wanted to say it last time, but Zhu Houzhao didn't let him mention it again, so he never mentioned it. Now that he couldn't put Le Wen to death, he paid attention to Le Chao again.

"Qian Ning, I have already said not to mention this matter again, why do you still mention it, then let's remove Le Chao from his official position together."

Although Zhu Houzhao didn't let Qian Ning mention this matter again, and he didn't appear as the emperor last time, he actually felt that Le Chao was too disrespectful to him last time, and it was not bad to teach this reckless Le Chao a lesson.

"Your Majesty......"

"Don't say it, that's it, I'm tired. Return to the Qianqing Palace. ”

Qian Ning saw that the emperor had easily spared Lewen and the two brothers, he was extremely unwilling in his heart, and wanted to say something, but the emperor waved his hand. I didn't want to hear him anymore, so I turned away.

"Move to the Qianqing Palace!"

The eunuch Fu Guan behind him shouted in a thin voice, and the palace maids and little eunuchs in his group hugged Zhu Houzhao and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

Qian Ning looked at the departing emperor, thinking of him, the governor of the brocade guard, the red man in front of the emperor, and wanted to impeach a small person. couldn't even take it, and couldn't help but hate Lewen by three points, he gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "Hmph...... The emperor is merciful to your subordinates, and Lao Tzu will not let you go so easily. ”

……

"Long Chao, how are your injuries?"

As soon as Le Wen brought back the flying feather spear, the dark iron heavy sword, and the fish and snake double blades that he had shot from Blacksmith Zhang, he walked to Long Chao's house and asked Long Chao, who was lying on the bed with a somewhat pale face.

When Long Chao saw Le Wen enter the house, he forced himself to get up and get out of bed, pretending that his injuries were already healed, and said with a smile: "No ...... It's okay, brother, you don't know, brother, my body has always been very tough, what is this little injury. ”

"Hehe, come on, look at your appearance and know it's not good, I'll ask Sirou to buy a few more pairs of good medicine later."

Lewen looked at Long Chao's still somewhat ugly face, and knew that Long Chao was a hard support.

"Alas, this is the Xuantie heavy sword, it looks really good, let me try it, brother."

When Long Chao saw a few weapons placed in the courtyard, his face was full of excitement, and he walked out, wanting to see how the Xuantie heavy sword that Le Wen said he was going to fight was used.

"Huh...... Swish...... "Long Chao said and leaned over to pick up the sword that was a hundred catties, the sword body was one meter long, the sword grid was an inch wide, and the whole body was made of silver-gray thousand-year-old black iron, and swung it.

I saw that with Long Chao's dance, the sword wind of the Xuantie heavy sword in his hand waved all the fallen leaves on the ground, and the silver-gray sword shadow was like a silver dragon, dancing in front of and behind Long Chao.

"Hey, this sword is really good to use, it fits very well! Oops......"

When Long Chao was proud, he felt another pain in his heart, and hurriedly put the sword on the ground, leaned over, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand and covering his chest with the other, his face was even more pale, and he gasped for breath a few times.

Le Wen hurriedly stepped forward, helped Long Chao, and said with some annoyance: "Can you still succeed?" ”

“…… I didn't expect that the dragon's head crutch just hit me, and it left me seriously injured, and it hasn't completely healed yet......" Long Chao took a few breaths, waved his hand at Le Wen, and said stiffly.

"It's not just the reason for the dragon's head crutch, then Zhao Duo is a martial arts master with deep internal strength at a glance, if he didn't take me in his eyes and was careless, I would never have been able to do it." Le Wen suddenly remembered the scene at that time, smiled faintly, shook his head and said.

"Well, that old man is really good. A small helmsman is so powerful, so wouldn't their sect masters be invincible in the world? Long Chao felt that what Le Wen said was very reasonable, nodded and said, and then thought of the sect leader of the White Lotus Sect. There is a gloomy face.

Le Wen looked indifferent, and said with a faint smile: "He is invincible in the world or invincible in the world, what does it matter to us, anyway, when we went to destroy this Jiaoshan rudder, no one knew who did it." ”

"But those two Dharma protectors are still alive, will they ......?"

Long Chao didn't know what was wrong. Today, I always feel as if something bad is going to happen, and I feel a little uneasy in my heart.

Lewen didn't expect that this Long Chao, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, would also worry about something, so he quipped: "Hehe, when did you become so sentimental, you forgot, we are easy to go, they don't know who we are at all, don't worry, it's going to be fine......"

Lewen's voice just fell. I heard a shrill voice from outside the door, and then walked in a father-in-law with silver hair, followed by more than a dozen brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives at their waists.

"The holy decree has arrived, Shanghai County Commander Lewen, Shanghai County Patrol Envoy Le Chao knelt down to receive the decree."

Le Wen didn't close the door when he came back just now, this father-in-law came in with the holy decree in both hands, and shouted as soon as he came in, Le Wen and Long Chao glanced at each other, not knowing how this holy decree came. didn't think much about it, so he knelt down and accepted the order.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says, Shanghai County Linglewen. The seized property should have been punished with capital punishment according to the Ming Dynasty's penal code, but Zhen Nian'er killed the enemy and was not held accountable, and his official position was stripped of him, and he sincerely repented in the future. In order to punish him, he also stripped his official position from his official position, and he admired this! ”

"Wechen Lewen, thank you! Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

"Weichen Lechao, thank you! Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

Le Wen and Long Chao received the holy decree, and there were two expressions on their faces, Le Wen was the expression of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and Long Chao was the expression of injustice.

Lewen had long known that there would be a step, but as an official of the imperial court, for the sake of the people of the world, he knew that he could not do it, although he lost his official position for a while, he won the hearts of the people and was praised by the world.

Long Chao felt that the court was indiscriminate, they made meritorious contributions to the court to kill the enemy, helped the people, and ended up with a cut off their official positions, although he also knew that Le Wen used the seized property privately, but this was also for the sake of the common people in the world.

The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, Lewen feels that he has done nothing wrong.

After the father-in-law who passed the holy decree and more than a dozen brocade guards left, because Long Chao's injury had not yet healed, Lewen wanted to recuperate in the mansion for a few more days, and then returned to Tang County, he had not seen his parents for more than half a year, and Lewen missed it very much.

Lao Tzu said: "Woe is what blessing depends on; Blessings lurk in disguise. ”

Lewen feels that being dismissed is not necessarily a bad thing, and he can finally go home, I don't know if his parents are okay at home, how are the grandmothers, uncles, and aunts in Yuyuan Village doing, and whether Sister Le Qi gave birth to a lovely nephew, as well as three uncles and three aunts, and Le Yi......

In the middle of the night, Lewen, who was half-asleep and half-awake, suddenly heard a woman's scream in the courtyard.

"Jamaica falls...... Ah......h

"What's going on out there?"

When Lewen heard the exclamation of the slave girl, he quickly got up, picked up the black gold sword hanging on the wall, and ran out of the house.

"You thieves!" Long Chao also heard the voice and ran out.

"Ah...... Lewen beware! This exclamation was shouted by Ding Ke'er, and at this time, a black-clothed and masked thief had already slashed at him with his hand.

"Le Gongzi...... Save me......" Sirou just came out of the house, and after just fighting a few times with a man in black, she was already out of power, and she was stabbed twice, and hurriedly asked Le Wen for help.

I don't know when, three black-clothed people infiltrated the courtyard of Lewen's house, all of them were outstanding in light skills and extraordinary martial arts, and they were not ordinary assassins at first glance.

The ground in the courtyard of the mansion and the slave girl's room were full of blood, and the body of the slave girl fell to the ground in all directions.

Lewen dodged the attack of the two black-clothed men in front of him, and jumped in front of Sirou.

"Bell...... Clang...... Bell"

Originally, Le Wen thought that the black gold sword in his hand could cut off the long knife in this person's hand at once, but he didn't expect that the long knife in the hands of these three black-clothed people was not an ordinary long knife, and they couldn't cut it at all.

Ding Ke'er held the fish and snake blades tightly with both hands, her face was nervous, and after resisting a few times, she felt that the man in black in front of her was too fast, she couldn't resist at all, and was slashed by the man in black.

Then when the man in black was about to go towards her again, fortunately, Le Wen hurriedly jumped in front of her, holding a black and gold sword to block this rapid attack for her, but as soon as he blocked the knife for Ding Ke'er, he felt a cold shoulder, and a piece of meat on his shoulder was actually cut off by another man in black, and blood came out.

Lewen gritted his teeth, ignoring the pain in his shoulder, and slashed behind him, only to hear "Ah! With a bang, the man in black behind him fell to the ground and was split in half.

Long Chao's injuries were not good, he held the Xuantie heavy sword in his hand and slashed these people for a while, and he was already unable to support it, and hurriedly moved closer to Lewen's side, at this time, a man in black slashed at his back, he was stabbed coldly, he shouted violently, "Tom", and cut the man in black who attacked him to the ground, but he was also too injured and was already a little unstable.

The four of them approached together, Lewen whistled, and the two war horses, one white and one black, ran towards this side, and Lewen shouted: "You guys get on the horses quickly, I'll resist them." ”

"Brother Wen, you have to go together, you have to stay together!" Long Chao struggled to swing the Xuantie heavy sword in his hand, and in the black night, the silver light and shadow flashed, but in this way, he was still hit by the last man in black and retreated.

In the end, the martial arts of this man in black are too high, if Long Chao is not injured, he can still fight a dozen, but Long Chao can't last long now.

"Master, go quickly."

At this time, from the slave girl's room, two slave girls ran out, it was Shiina and Amamiya Kotone, it turned out that they had heard the sound just now, and hid under the bed in the slave girl's room, so they escaped.

But when they saw that Lewen was in danger, they couldn't take care of it so much, although their mother and daughter were female slaves, but Lewen was usually good to their mother and daughter, how could they watch their master die at a critical time.

So the two of them didn't know where the courage came from, and the two of them swooped down at the feet of the man in black, and firmly grabbed the legs of the two men in black, and the man in black was furious, and stabbed the two slave girls at their feet to death on the ground.
