The inner hall was so silent that even breathing felt heavy.

Pei Mingcui's eyes were fixed on Yu Wenshu, waiting for Yu Wenshu's answer.

Yu Wenshu looked comfortable, tasted tea slowly, and put down the teacup before saying, "The old man doesn't know what Miss Pei said?" ”

"General Yuwen, now you and I know it well, and don't go around in circles when you speak, everyone knows that Chen Xuanhua is fake, but to expose her truth, only you can do it."

"Fake?" Yu Wenshu frowned and said: "Miss Pei, I really don't know what you're talking about, the Holy Lord is wise, and Mrs. Chen gets along day and night, if you know it's fake, how can you be so affectionate." Are you doubting the Holy Wisdom, or are you doubting the old man's loyalty? ”

"I don't doubt anything, I only suspect that you can't control this Chen Xuanhua!" Pei Mingcui said coldly.

Yu Wenshu's face had changed.

"Yuwenshu, I can only say that Chen Xuanhua's actions should be unexpected by you now, and he may not necessarily listen to what you say," Pei Mingcui said lightly: "I think you have raised a tiger for trouble." ”

Yuwen Shuqiang smiled: "The old man is old, he is somewhat confused, and he can't understand Miss Pei's hidden words, what is raising tigers, I just think Miss Pei is alarmist." ”

Pei Mingcui said coldly: "It's really alarmist, then why can't your hands tremble?" ”

Yuwen Shu was slightly stunned, secretly calling this Pei Mingcui really cunning. I just thought that she had nothing to do, so I came to admit defeat, and I wanted to torture her and make conditions with her. But when he heard Pei Mingcui's warning, he hit the heart of the most frightened thing in recent times, Rao was calm, but his hands couldn't help shaking. Pei Mingcui was as careful as a hair, but she had already paid attention to his every move.

"The old man is old, and his legs and feet are not good, so what's so strange about shaking when serving tea?"

Pei Mingcui picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I'm afraid I won't live long." ”

"What?" Yuwen Shu asked in surprise, difficult to hide.

Pei Mingcui said softly: "But since I'm going to die, what else will I be afraid of, General Yuwen, don't you say?" ”

Yu Wenshu's face was gloomy and uncertain, knowing that Pei Mingcui was by no means alarmist.

In fact, he knows Pei Mingcui's scheming better than anyone else, although he has lived for more than 70 years, he is not afraid of Pei Ju and Pei Yun for Pei Valve, but he is most afraid of this woman.

"No matter how Pei Valve and the Yuwen family compete for fame and fortune, they are all based on the Holy One." Pei Mingcui said in a condensed voice: "I know that General Yuwen doesn't want anything to happen to the saint, and that won't be good for anyone." But you offered Chen Xuanhua, it was really a wrong move. I don't know where you got this Chen Xuanhua from, but I know that Chen Xuanhua's development is far beyond your expectations. Now the person who the saint believes in the most is not Pei Mingcui, not Yu Wenshu, not Xiao Buyi, but Chen Xuanhua, who is by his side at night! As long as she waits until she is full-fledged, I think she will do something, and the first person she will deal with is definitely not me, but General Yuwen, who knows her well. ”

Yu Wenshu couldn't laugh anymore.

Pei Mingcui kept staring at his face, and said in a deep voice: "Now that you and I join forces, there is still a chance to make the saint wake up, but if I wait for a while, I am afraid that you and I are not her opponents." General Yuwen, I want to prioritize, you can still tell the difference. ”

Yu Wenshu coughed, shook his head and said, "Miss Pei is serious." ”

Pei Mingcui had already gotten up and said softly: "I know you can't decide yet, I'll give you a few days, and you are welcome to come to me for cooperation at any time." ”

After Pei Mingcui left, Yu Wenshu sat in the inner hall for a long time.

Yu Wenhua walked in, "Dad, Miss Pei is gone." ”

"What's the matter?" Yu Wenshu came back to his senses, but felt a stabbing pain in his chest.

"Dad, Miss Pei just said that if there is a chance, she will ask for an official for me. Even if it's not too servant, it's not too bad. Yu Wenhua and cowardly said: "Dad, I think your old man can consider it." You are old, if there are really three long and two short, our three brothers are definitely not Pei Mingcui's opponents. ”

Yuwen Shu's beard curled up, and he stretched out his hand to fight, but he put it down again after a while, "Prepare the carriage and horses." ”

"Dad, what are you going to do?" Yu Culture & Surprise asked.

Yu Wenshu sighed and said: "Huaji, don't worry, you don't need Pei Mingcui to fight for your father, you can ask for a four-grade official to be a saint, and I will go to face the saint now." ”

When Yuwen Shu arrived in the palace, he instructed the palace people to pass it on, only saying that the old minister Yuwen Shu asked to see him.

Recently, the saint has ignored the government for a long time, and Yuwen Shu is secretly worried. Pei Mingcui was right, he was also starting to worry now, Chen Xuanhua's move looked ingenious, but the result was out of his control.

The last time he dealt with Xiao Buyi, Chen Xuanhua followed his advice, but this ignored the government and politics, which was not what Yuwenshu wanted.

Yu Wenshu knows that it is not easy for others to see the saint now, because now it is as if he wants to make up for the ten years of separation, and he is tired of being with Chen Xuanhua every day. But with his current status, it is not difficult to see Yang Guang.

But after waiting for a full hour, the palace man finally came out and said uneasily: "General Yuwen, the saint said that he didn't want to see you today." ”

Yu Wenshu's heart sank, and he already knew that something was wrong.

**"Miss Pei, Yuwenshu went to the palace. A woman in black stood beside Pei Mingcui like a shadow, respectful.

After Pei Mingcui turned around Pei's house, she just sat on a chair, like dead wood.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Pei Mingcui said: "I know that he will definitely go, and he also wants to see what control he has over Chen Xuanhua." ”

"Yuwenshu's every move doesn't seem to be out of Miss's calculations."

Pei Mingcui frowned and said: "But it makes me strange that he can't come out of my calculations, he is not like the person who has cultivated Chen Xuanhua for many years." ”

"What do you mean, Miss?"

"Shadow, how did I ask you to investigate?" Pei Mingcui didn't answer the rhetorical question.

The shadow shook his head and said, "Miss, I have already mobilized the power of the Shadow Alliance to search for the details of this Chen Xuanhua, but it is indeed strange, neither Yuwen Mansion nor Princess Nanyang has gotten a trace of this woman." Princess Nanyang and Yuwenshu's son are not tight-lipped people, and it is really hard to imagine that Yuwenshu can hide them all. Besides, although Yuwenshu is a annihilator, he has always followed the side of the saint, and he has not recruited troops to win people's hearts, unlike those who conspire against chaos. ”

Pei Mingcui snorted coldly, "Then this woman may not have been cultivated by Yuwenshu, but it is very likely that she is another force, and at the moment it is just a fake Yuwenshu's name." It's ridiculous that Yuwen said that this old ghost was being used by others, but he was still unaware. These days, has Yuwenshu been in contact with any stranger? ”

The shadow thought carefully before saying, "No." ”

"And what about his subordinates?" Pei Mingcui frowned.

The shadow said: "His housekeeper went to several places in Tang County to collect rent, but it was just a routine. The rest of the people are mostly under our surveillance, and there is no unusual behavior. ”

"Tang County?" Pei Mingcui pondered for a while, and only after a while did she show a sneer, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how Yu Wenshu moves, the person who borrowed him is the person we should be most wary of, fake Chen Xuanhua has been planning for a long time, although he is virtuous and virtuous at the moment, but the more this is the case, the evil heart in his bones is terrifying." However, it is still unknown who will kill the deer, and is the uncovered assembly ready? ”

Shadow nodded, "Everything is according to Miss's arrangement." ”

Pei Mingcui breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks were red, "By the way, what did Xiao Buyi do?" ”

The shadow shook his head and said: "He has never had any trajectory to follow, these days I don't know how, I went to visit Ci Daoxin, and then taught his younger brother in the house to train horses." The uncovered conference was all prepared by Fan Shangshu, and he didn't take it to heart. ”

Pei Mingcui pondered for a long time, and only said, "No matter what, it's going to be over!" ”

**The Uncovered General Assembly was held as scheduled, on the first day of the new year.

The wind was blowing, the sky was cold, and the light from the red balls in the sky was also cold, shining on people without a trace of warmth.

This winter, it's a bit cold!

The water of the rolling Luo River was frozen through, and the ice dragon-like detour circled in the ancient city of the eastern capital, as if waiting for the opportunity to swim in the sea again.

From the early morning, the endless stream of people rushed to Luoshui, just because the saint changed the extravagant habits of the previous year, and the New Year should be happy with the people, and the uncovered meeting of the Buddhist family was held for three consecutive days.

The unsheltered meeting took place on the frozen Naksu River.

The wide and bright river surface is covered with thick felt to prevent people from falling on the Luoshui River. From the Tianjin Bridge down, set up a tent for several miles, the hot rice porridge boiled out, with the heat to the hands of the people, not only the hot porridge clothes, but also countless preserved cheese, preserved dim sum and fruit are sent, the people in the eastern capital city according to the head of the household, with the voucher issued by the government, each household can receive a New Year's gift.

This time, it was presided over by Fan Zigai and Xiao Buyi, but it put an end to the phenomenon of filling private pockets.

In Yang Guang's eyes, these are really nothing, but in the hearts of the people, of course, they are the emperor's grace.

Everyone is praising Yang Guang's sageness, Chen Niangniang's kindness, and Master Daoxin's bodhisattva heart. Because many people already know that after Master Daoxin arrived in the Eastern Capital, he talked about Buddhism with Yang Guang and Chen Niangniang, and now the saint seems to have changed his surname, although the tent next to Luoshui is simple, and the felt is rough, the clothing and food that can be supplied to the people are better than those they use for the New Year.

The people don't ask for too much, and all the rich items would rather be eaten in the stomach than on the face, this time the saint listened to the persuasion of the mother and the master, and returned to the past.

Speaking of the past, all the people relished the scene of abundant food and clothing in the early years of the Great Cause, and looked forward to the end of the New Year, if this continued, the Great Sui would soon return to its former prosperity.

The Wusha Assembly is not only a cloth house, nor is it a vegetarian diet, but also a fragrant bone broth, which is drunk to warm up the people, and it can be described as thoughtful. In addition, there are all kinds of vaudeville performances, which in the past were only seen by the Holy Lords and foreign envoys, but this year, even ordinary people can watch them.

The theater can be seen everywhere, and thousands of steps of square radius have set up a platform, not only in Luoshui, but even extending to all squares on both sides of the strait. All kinds of musical instruments competed with each other, and for a time they were noisy and joyful, and peaceful. The children on the wall of Zhufang climbed up, clapped their hands and laughed, and it was very lively. The soldiers are no longer restrained, and the shackles of the ordinary are lifted.

Xiao Buyi was standing by the river, watching the joy of thousands of years ago, and hundreds of soldiers stood with guns beside him, guarding the peace by Luoshui.

The people who came to perform were all artists and ordinary people from nearby villages and counties, as well as Fan Ke Hu Shang. They brought all kinds of juggling magic tricks from the far west, and the performances were very much to the applause of the audience.

Hu Shang is performing a big change of life, self-mutilation, weird and bloody, thrilling. Oriental juggling is a lot more subtle, blindfolded flying knives, walking tightropes in the air, stacking bowls, and turning heels, which are also applauded.

Xiao Buyi saw that the artists were all agile, and his heart moved slightly, and he secretly said that these people were not bad, and they were not much better than those who practiced martial arts.

The sound of drums sounded "dong dong", and the sound was terrifying.

Hundreds of big drums rang out, the sound reached several miles, and the drums came from the direction of Ziwei City, Xiao Buyi's heart moved, knowing that Yang Guang finally left the palace to go to the Wusha Conference, and wanted to have fun with the people.

"Ordering Maitreya to be offended, the Buddha will not tolerate it." Xiao Buyi muttered this sentence, but he never understood the point.

What did Yang Dezhi want to say to him, why didn't he tell him everything happily, could it be that as a monk, speaking is unpredictable?

But Xiao Buyi knew what Yang Dezhi had to tell himself, he was not a person with no purpose, but he didn't say it happily, and he had his reasons, Xiao Buyi didn't want to force him to say it.

He went to visit Daoxin again in the past few days, but found nothing.

Flags are displayed in the distance, flags of various colors are flying in the wind, hunting and dancing, like a sea of flowers.

At present, it is still a phalanx of cavalry, the cold light of the iron armor is solemn, and the guns and halberds are inserted into the air. The drums were more urgent, the soldiers dispersed like waves, and Yang Guang was already sitting in the middle of the city and walking in the direction of Luoshui.

A woman beside him was dressed in a white fur, with a flower-like face, with a glorious face, which could not be forced. She snuggled in Yang Guang's arms, pointed around, and smiled from time to time, bringing a hint of warmth to this cold winter, of course, it was Chen Xuanhua, who had not been in the palace for a long time.

The people pointed and pointed, with some love, although Chen Xuanhua entered the palace for a few months, and replaced Queen Xiao, but the people not only did not criticize, but felt that it was normal, without Chen Xuanhua, there would be no uncovered conference!

Yang Guang [***] The city is less majestic and more kind, but the number of soldiers still shows the fear in his heart. He was not omnipotent, and he knew that there were many people who hated him, so although he decided to rejoice with the people, he still wanted soldiers to protect him.

Under the majesty, the drum music is noisy, and the city is paved with gold and silver bottoms, which is luxurious and magnificent. The cold sunlight fell on the city of [***], glowing with the bright color of white gold, forming a large light failure.

Under the shroud of this aura, Yang Guang was accompanied by Chen Xuanhua and slowly drove towards the largest stage in Luoshui. The city is quite large, and the general ministers are also on the city, standing with their hands tied and respectful. Yu Wenshu was contemplating and thoughtful, full of worries, and glanced in the direction of Chen Xuanhua from time to time, but Chen Xuanhua only had Yang Guang in his eyes, and never looked at him.

Xiao Buyi rode forward to greet him, and immediately saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

He shouted out with luck, his expression was calm, and the drums beat loudly, but he couldn't suppress his voice at all.

When the people saw that General Xiao was like a god, they knew his deeds and admired him, and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”

As soon as tens of thousands of people drank, the sound spread far away, and the whole city shook.

Yang Guang [***] waved his hand in the city and said with a smile: "Xiao Qing's family has worked hard. ”

Xiao Buyi flashed to the side, but [***] City had already reached the front of the biggest stage. The soldiers arched slowly, and they marched forward in a large circle of carts, as if facing a great enemy.

Yang Guang was somewhat displeased, and ordered: "Let them disperse a little, just go to both sides of Luoshui to guard, and I want to have fun with the people." They are all guarding me, how dare those people come? ”

"Holy Lord, the minister is only afraid that the Holy Lord will make a mistake...... Fan Zi covered the front road.

Yang Guang snorted coldly, "Why are you so timid?" ”

Fan Zigai saw that Yang Guang was a little angry, and did not dare to say much, so he ordered all the soldiers to disperse to the banks of the Luo River to strictly guard them, but let the guns and chariots of [***] City follow, so that although there were fewer soldiers, the guns and chariots were also very powerful, and in a hurry, even if there were assassins, they were helpless.

Xiao Buyi also thinks the same, Yang Guang's guards are absolutely strict, [***] There are many organs in the city, as long as the soldiers don't rush over, even the martial arts masters are helpless against him.

The guards withdrew, and the people were able to see Yang Guang's true body, although it was separated from the [***] city, they felt somewhat cordial, and they couldn't help but point their fingers.

Yang Guang was not angry, looked at the people in the distance, and wondered, how many years had he not seen this kind of scene, it seemed that he had been ten years?

Since he ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven, he has never seen so many people in front of him, and suddenly he saw it again, strange with sadness.

The artists on the stage have already appeared on the stage, and one person is turning his head on the stage, endlessly, endlessly, winning everyone's loud applause.

This feeling was fleeting, because Chen Xuanhua smiled coquettishly: "Saint, do you still remember back then?" When you went south, the people did the same to you, but I peeked at you in the car, and from that time on, we formed an indissoluble bond. ”

Yang Guang let out a long sigh, and the spirit of the past was vivid, "Xuanhua, since the first time I saw you, I swore that we would never be separated, the sky is ruthless, and the sky has eyes, and I finally live up to my infatuation." ”

Chen Xuanhua snuggled in Yang Guang's arms, his face full of happiness, "Holy Lord, the concubine is loved by you, and this life is not in vain." ”

The two of them were indescribably contemptuous and affectionate, Xiao Buyi stood in the distance with hundreds of elite soldiers, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

When he arrived in this era, he was alert and often rescued him in times of danger, but this crisis felt like a rush from all directions from the west, which made him palpitate.

There will be no problem on the stage, Fan Zigai and he have already carefully checked, even if the dozen or so people on the stage are assassins, they will never be able to kill Yang Guang in front of him, but where does his crisis come from?

Suddenly, he felt that the sky and the earth were dark, Xiao Buyi looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but tremble wildly. At some point, black clouds poured up from the southeast corner, obscuring the sun and slowly spreading across the sky.

It was still noon, but it was covered by dark clouds, and it was as dark as before nightfall.

Xiao Buyi didn't wait to say more, and the people were already pointing at the sky, greatly surprised.

They had rarely seen this kind of strange celestial phenomenon, and their hearts were full of ominous meaning. Yang Guang was secretly annoyed, and his heart finally came out again, but God went against him, "Light a bonfire!" ”

The soldiers will say that the bonfire has been prepared for a long time, and it will only be lit at night, and since the Holy Lord has spoken at this moment, it is urgent to light it.

Fan Zigai had already considered that it was a fire on the Luoshui River, and all the bonfires were set up by forks, burning off the ground, and faint smoke rose and drifted around.

With the firelight, the people came back to their senses, came to their spirits again, and applauded loudly.

Yang Guangyang was proud, hugged Chen Xuanhua and looked at the stage, only to see that the people who turned their heels had long been gone, and several people on the stage were holding torches and performing fire-breathing stunts.

A sip of liquor spewed out, the fire was blazing, the long snake was circling and stretching, and the people drank it well, although Yang Guang had long been accustomed to this, he asked Chen Xuanhua: "Xuanhua, what do you think?" ”

Unable to hear Chen Xuanhua's answer, Yang Guang looked back and saw Chen Xuanhua's tears in his eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Xuanhua, what's wrong with you?" Why cry? ”

Chen Xuanhua smiled and said, "Holy Lord, can you still promise your concubine one thing?" ”

"Don't do one thing Xuanhua said, even if it is a hundred and thousand, I will do it for you." Yang Guang said softly: "But do you feel bored in the eastern capital, wait for a few months, the spring flowers will bloom, will I take you to Jiangnan?" ”

Chen Xuanhua's tears flowed down, and before he could say more, the people suddenly shouted loudly, not cheering, but surprised.

Yang Guanghuo Ran turned his head, but at the same time as Xiao Buyi, he saw a big Buddha with golden light!

Xiao Buyi almost thought that he was dazzled, there were bonfires on both sides of the stage, and several people on the stage performed fire-breathing stunts non-stop, and a few people pushed a cart up, covered with black cloth. I thought it was some kind of skill, but I didn't expect that after the black curtain was lifted, the stage was dark in an instant, and a golden smiling Maitreya Buddha was already floating in the air.

This sudden change was more shocking than exciting, and the people were stunned for a while, but a few big words flashed in Xiao Buyi's mind.

Ordered to commit Maitreya, the Buddha will not tolerate it!

"Be careful." Xiao Buyi immediately held the spear in his hand, and he broke off his voice sharply, and the shock suddenly appeared.

Maitreya Buddha's big mouth opened and closed, and he had already spit out earth-shattering words, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, Maitreya was born, and the cloth is dominant!" ”

The voice is extremely low and weird, but it echoes in the air and penetrates into people's ears!

When Xiao Buyi heard this voice, he only felt that his heart was beating wildly, the sky was dead, Huang Tian was originally the slogan of the Yellow Turban Army, could it be a disciple of Taiping Dao? But Maitreya was born, what does it mean to be a man in cloth? Thinking that his name was Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi's heart was cold, and he felt that boundless terror had permeated him.

The sixteen words of Maitreya Buddha kept circulating, and the more they read it, the faster they recited, all the people showed a sense of confusion, and soon recited it.

The sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing, Maitreya is born, and the cloth is dominant...... The surrounding people were all infected, followed by a loud roar, which instantly converged into a torrent of shouts, which shook the earth.

The stage is filled with an extremely strange atmosphere, [***] Yang Guang in the city was furious, but in an instant, he also fell into unspeakable terror, the big stage has disappeared, only the big Buddha is hanging in the air, with a weird smile on his face, his lips are closed, like a living person, but the big Buddha can not be filled even if there are more than a dozen people.

The soldiers beside Luoshui were stunned and couldn't speak, forgetting to move, they only saw that the lights around the stage were instantly extinguished, the sky was like ink, and the smoke near the stage was billowing and spewing out, and it quickly spread around, within a few zhang, and the five fingers were not visible.

Even if there is a fire in the darkness that has not been extinguished, it is covered with green like a ghost fire, rolling around, and it is indescribable that it is cold and misty.

Xiao Buyi shouted: "Escort." ”

When he said that he was escorting, he immediately jumped into the air, and had already plunged into the boundless darkness, but this time, he was like a moth to a flame, and was annihilated by the darkness in an instant!
