On the twenty-seventh day of the tenth year of Tianbao, there are less than four days to the New Year's Day of the eleventh year of Tianbai, and the weather that has been sunny has been light snow on this day, and the sky is gloomy, depressing, and the cold wind is blowing.

For this sudden change in the sky, the residents of Chang'an City, who were originally quite festive, complained loudly, lamenting that the heavens were not beautiful, and they were about to celebrate the New Year, but at this time they came to make trouble. But in addition to complaining, all they can do is go out as little as possible.

However, for most of the magnates and families, the bad weather did not affect them much, and most of them did not go out to work, and they had comfortable and warm carriages when they went out.

On the contrary, these people have great enthusiasm for New Year's Day, which is getting closer and closer. These days, these people, through various means, put pressure on Cao Jinshui, the coinage supervisor directly under the Shaofu, and finally got several sets of new coins of the Datang gold and silver coins that were about to be issued, and one even got a set of coinage molds for the Shaofu supervisor.

Now these powerful people and families are working day and night to make private money molds. For more than a hundred years, through intermarriage, teachers and students and other relationships, these family magnates have already connected the city as a whole, and in just a few days, the entire Chang'an family elite class has been interconnected, and almost every family has a mold of new coins.

All these people are eagerly waiting for the arrival of New Year's Day, and then they can make another big profit.

Also unaffected by the weather were the tribal envoys who attached to the Tang Dynasty and were sent to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Tang Emperor and His Majesty the Heavenly Khan.

Under the manipulation of the party item Baqiang envoy Tuoba Chaoguang and some well-intentioned people, all these tributes to Li Longji were envoys of various subordinate tribes. At this time, they were all closely united. Just wait for the day of the New Year's Day pilgrimage. Strike again together.

Datang must give them justice, severely punish Xiao Quai, and repeatedly promise that the rights and interests and status of the tribes in each state are unshakable!

Just after the afternoon of this day, escorted by dozens of elite guards and eight Taoist priests, a four-wheeled carriage quietly drove out of Anyefang and turned out of the Kaiyuan Gate of Chang'an Waiguo. Come to the Zhenlv Pavilion five miles away from the city and stop.

Two young girls came out of the four-wheeled carriage, and in front of them was a tall and beautiful woman, holding a snow-white mink fur, and a beautiful and unparalleled face was as crystal as jade, like Qionghua piling snow, clear and beautiful.

The girl behind her was slightly half a head shorter than her, and she was just as bright and shining, and as soon as the two of them stood at Zhenlv Pavilion, everything around them lost their color. It seems that even the wind and snow in the sky are more gentle.

These two teenage girls. It was He Keer and Lin Xiaoyao who came to greet Xiao Quai's triumphant expedition. The news that the army is going to turn around today, not many people know, and there is naturally no one else in the Zhenlu Pavilion in such weather. He Ke'er and Xiao Yao whispered, tiptoeing to look west from time to time.

Outside the pavilion, a Taoist priest named Linghu Liuyun glanced at the two girls in the pavilion, still looking lazy with a hippie smile.

Beside him, the Maoshan Taoist priest named Yue Mufeng was still silent, wearing a white Taoist robe, wearing a belt like the wind, that kind of detached and arrogant temperament, more and more out of the world, not like a mortal person.

Thinking of this, Hu Liuyun was a little depressed, before he and Yue Mufeng sparred, in the end, he must win; But since the two of them followed Xiao to practice inner boxing, he gradually began to be unable to beat Yue Mufeng.

It turned out that Yue Mufeng's Maoshan school paid more attention to meditation and qi training, and paid attention to controlling one's qi and blood by using the method of meditation and qi training. Every time the sword is struck, the pursuit is to infuse the power into the sword body, in order to achieve the purpose of making the sword move faster and stronger. But in this way, the weakness is also obvious, that is, it is difficult to change the move.

And the Louguan School where Hu Liuyun is located pays attention to the flexibility of the real moves. Although he also meditated and practiced qi, carried qi and blood, and practiced channeling and longitudinal enhancement, he only strengthened his body and made himself more flexible and agile. Every time the sword is released, it does not pay attention to the power poured into the sword body, but pursues the variety of moves and strange and weird.

It is also for this reason that Yue Mufeng's character has become taciturn (you have to meditate and practice qi, how can your mind calm down if your personality is too lively), and Liuyun's personality has become free and uninhibited and very active.

Now Linghu Liuyun found that Yue Mufeng's speed of sword was getting faster and faster, and the strength of the sword was getting stronger and stronger, and it was difficult for him to take advantage of the variety of moves alone.

It seems that after Brother Xiao Dao comes back, he will have to ask him for leave and go back to Louguan to find the master to study countermeasures, otherwise Louguan's swordsmanship will soon be surpassed by the Maoshan faction.

But in the current situation, according to what Lu Yi said, there are a lot of people who are holding back their strength to attack him, and the emperor Lao'er does not support him, and he is worried about Xiao Qu's illness when he thinks about it. Linghu Liuyun couldn't help but say to Yue Mufeng: "Mufeng, you said that Brother Xiao Dao fought for the emperor's life and death, why can't you get his support and trust?" ”

Yue Mufeng rolled his eyes, glanced at it, didn't speak, Liuyun didn't care, and continued: "On the contrary, that mongrel who has no ability at all and is used to pretending to be stupid and patting sycophants is so favored that he is boundless."

Why did the emperor allow Fan Yang to mint coins as well? It's funny, they don't even have silver, what kind of coin to mint, this emperor is not old and confused! ”

Yue Mufeng glared at him lightly and said, "You be quieter." ”

Liuyun then whispered: "There is also that King Wuwei, who was called to the palace twice by His Majesty and received a bunch of rewards, and now Brother Xiao Dao was attacked by the Hu envoys everywhere, and was impeached by those sour people in the Imperial Tower, and this King Wuwei didn't say a word."

What do you call this, don't you just kill a few Hu people who are plotting to rebel? It's chilling to say, Brother Xiao Dao took 2,000 soldiers to brave the wind and snow on the front line, working desperately, but he was so calculated by the rear.

Hmph, Brother Xiao Dao is still thinking about asking for credit for the soldiers under his command, I see enough hanging, but I am afraid that these two thousand soldiers will not only have no merit, but may also be punished, this is called how can Brother Xiao Dao lead troops in the future? ”

Yue Mufeng's brows were furrowed tightly, the rumors inside and outside the court, he could hear them through Wang Chengen, Sun Liu, and Lu Yi and other channels, and then brought to them by the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army.

What Linghu Liuyun said, Mu Feng had also racked his brains and thought about it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't figure it out at all. However, he vaguely came to some conclusions, the key point of this matter is not An Lushan's miscellaneous beard, it seems to lie in the emperor's attitude.

It's just that why the emperor is like this, then I can't figure it out.

Just when Yue Mufeng wanted to say something, he saw a group of horsemen who looked like Hu people, and they drove towards this direction from the direction of Chang'an City.

Yue Mufeng clenched his scabbard suddenly, if this group of Hu people dared to hurt the little lady of the He family, they would have to defeat the enemy with one move, and quickly capture the leader.

In a short time, the group of sixty or seventy Hu people rushed to a place twenty or thirty steps away from Zhenlv Pavilion at a gallop, and on the side of Linghu Liuyun, except for the eight Taoist priests, the others had already unsheathed their knives and wound their crossbows, looking at them vigilantly.

One of the captains of the guards who made Hu Liuyun and Xiao go sick and named Dugu Yu stepped forward to ask, but the group of Hu people did not answer, and one of them pointed to He Ke'er in the Zhenlv Pavilion and shouted loudly: "Look, that is the wife of the person who Tu Xiao went to the sick and did not pass the door." ”

Then more people pointed at He Keer and scolded: "Murder pays for life, blood debt and blood pay for ......"

"Hundreds of thousands of innocent lives were killed in vain......"

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan, will give us a fair ......"

"I want to kill his woman so that he can also know ...... pain"

He Ke'er stood in the pavilion, her waist straight, without the slightest hint of panic, nor did she speak, just looked at each other coldly.

Xiao Quzhi told her that most Hu people are fierce and inward-looking, just like evil wolves, but whenever you show the slightest hint of cowardice, they will rush forward to bite them; The best thing to do is to look at them viciously, they don't dare to hesitate, they will be afraid.

Linghu Liuyun was furious, and suddenly shouted: "Enough, what do you want to do, if you want to fight, we will accompany you." ”

He roared with all his strength, and his voice contained abundant internal force, which shook the snow powder on the pavilion and kept falling, and this group of Hu people gradually quieted down, but in the face of the other party's sabre-rattling and unyielding momentum, this group of people did not have the courage to make a move.

A leader-looking man said in a trembling voice: "Sure enough, it is arrogant to the extreme!" We're just waiting here to get justice from that man. ”

Ling Hu Liuyun sneered: "It's up to you, and you are worthy?" (To be continued.) )
