The hematite mine is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one passage extends outward, because the town is in and out of the material, the road is very flat and well-groomed and wider, and ten strands of parallel are more than enough.

Today's scenery is still good, the mountains on both sides of the passage are green, and the wind is full of breath.

There was a crisp and long song of birds from somewhere, and the horses under Li Shilang's seat also snorted, and from a distance, there was billowing black smoke rising in front of him, which should be the hematite mine smelting good timber.

"A few of you go over and inform me first, so as not to come to the door unexpectedly and provoke the displeasure of the evil star. Li Shilang rubbed his temples and said to the attendants beside him.

"Yes. The attendant answered, and rode away.

When the attendant gradually moved away, Li Shilang couldn't help but sigh lightly, the task assigned above was too difficult, since he learned the news last night, he was still having a headache about how to start at this time.

If you want to ask what task is so tricky, it is the arrest of the criminal Li Xunlian......

"Why is the adult worried, Chief Wei is in the rear ten miles to suppress the formation, that inn boy still dares to resist the order?" Seeing Li Shilang's worried face, his henchmen and subordinates around him said comfortably.

"Alas!" Another long sigh, Li Shilang said leisurely: "This matter, don't say that it is Manager Wei, even if His Majesty comes in person, it may not be able to do it!"

"Why did the lord say this, could it be that the little boy didn't even pay attention to His Majesty?" The subordinates were stunned, he hadn't heard of Li Xunlian's reputation, but if he couldn't touch the core of power, he naturally couldn't know too many secrets.

In his eyes, the inn is just a force in the rivers and lakes, and if he dies, he is just keeping pace with the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, and overriding the imperial power, which is absolutely impossible.

You must know that the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism are known as giants in the rivers and lakes, and their strength and power are unfathomable, but even so, they have to bow their heads in front of the imperial court, and openly resist the decree, this kind of thing will never happen.

"Don't you know, how can that inn boy be easy to provoke, for so many years, in whose hands has Prince Cheng suffered? How did the dark owl iron guard fold?" Li Shilang seemed to be a little excited as he spoke, and paused before continuing: "This time I beheaded Qing Lingzi again, that Qing Lingzi is one of the future pillars of the Dao Sect, besides...... Even His Royal Highness's guards have been abolished, do you think in his eyes, does the imperial court really have a deterrent power at all?"

"Your Excellency has a point. The confidant and subordinate agreed with him, but he didn't think so in his heart, and secretly thought: "It's a shame that you still have the position of the squire of the military department, how can you be scared like this by the children of the rivers and lakes in a district, I really don't understand why the prince wants to arrange you in this position." ”

It turns out that this Li Shilang is still the one who became the king!

It is said that Li Xunlian returned to the hematite mine on the same day, and a messenger from the imperial court came to communicate between the banquets, which meant that Emperor Qingxiao wanted to invite Li Xunlian into the palace to talk about it, and sort out the matter of Li Cheng, the son of Qinglingzi, so as not to be embarrassed by the imperial court in the middle.

It is worth mentioning that the messenger did not meet Li Xunlian in person, but was stopped by the second shopkeeper halfway, and when he heard this, he naturally refused directly. When you enter the palace, it sounds good, but when you enter the palace, nine times out of ten it is the situation of the sword.

Not to mention whether Emperor Qingxiao would act recklessly, as far as the Dao Sect is concerned, if he sees Li Xunlian, how can he give up?

The second shopkeeper is a hot-tempered person, and the messenger will naturally not get a good face, but Emperor Qingxiao really has no intention of putting on a grand banquet, otherwise he would not only send a messenger without passing on the holy decree.

In fact, the cause and effect of this matter Qingxiao Emperor knew it, but he had to do so under the pressure of public opinion, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stop if he didn't call Li Xunlian over to talk about Li Daozong, although Qingxiao Emperor was not afraid that Daozong would turn his face, but on the one hand, it was for the benefit of his tongue, and on the other hand, it was completely unnecessary.

As for summoning rather than issuing a decree, this is to reassure the inn, meaning that the matter will be resolved privately and will not be involved in the books.

In this way, this matter can be properly resolved without damaging the faces of the three parties, this is the arrangement of Emperor Qingxiao after careful consideration, and it is also the perfect strategy in his heart.

However, what he never expected was that the messenger was chased back without seeing Li Xunlian.

Right and wrong, good and evil are at ease in the hearts of the people, Qingxiao Emperor plans first, and after failure, he should naturally bear the bitter consequences, besides, Li Cheng is not an important person, and if it is abolished, it will be abolished, as for Daozong Qinglingzi, Qingxiao Emperor will not turn his face against the inn for him, and even for the sake of Daozong, if this matter is not hindered by the prestige of the imperial court, I am afraid that it will not be necessary to skip it directly.

But now, things have come to this point, even if they ignore the words of the Taoist sect, the imperial court must save their face, and it is with the Qingxiao Emperor of the court today to send a holy decree to arrest Li Xunlian.

Of course, this so-called arrest is just a name, and in fact it is just a change of name for the summons.

After all, it is still not the time to turn the face, but whether to turn the face or not, the decision is in the inn, so the royal court must also make some preparations in advance.

The official in charge of the decree is Li Jinliang, the squire of the military department, this time the decree did not bring a general, only ten people escorted the army, but ten miles behind him, Wei Yuhe, the head of the inner hall, personally pressed the formation, if Li Xunlian still did not sell the face of the imperial court, and even openly resisted the decree, then this nominal arrest will also be put into practice.

After waiting for half an hour, the attendants sent earlier finally returned, and Li Shilang knew the result when he looked at his face, and he was disgraced, and he must have been deflated again.

"My lord, that kid is so ruthless that he says that he is not guilty, so why should he be ordered to await trial. The attendant turned over and fell off his horse, knelt on the ground and said indignantly.

This time, Li Shilang sighed three times, some things will always develop on the bad side, since Li Xunlian resisted the order, then he could only start the next plan.

"Chen Yun, is the arrangement properly arranged?" Li Shilang asked with a solemn gaze and a hissing voice.

Chen Yun was the confidant, but his expression was completely different from that of Li Shilang, who was worried, while he was a little excited.

"If you go back to your lordship, the eight hundred armor soldiers have already ambushed the hematite field, just wait for an order, and you can act!"

Li Shilang nodded when he heard this, and then looked back at the east, although there were mountains to block it, he seemed to see the magnificent official residence dozens of miles away, and King Cheng was sitting in the official residence, and his face was always unpredictable.

"Lord Wang, I, Li Jinliang, have followed you for many years, I was originally a low-level ant, but I was fortunate to be promoted to sit in the position of the second-rank member of the Ministry of War. ”

"It's just...... If I really go, I hope you can properly arrange the villain's wife and children, after all...... After all, the inn is not easy to mess with......"

After a long sigh, Li Shilang finally retracted his gaze, his expression has changed from worry to decisiveness, as the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, he Li Jinliang since the day he suffered the kindness of the king, he thought of the day when he would take his life to pay back.

"Go, hurry up and send a message to the chief manager, and say that the inn evil party not only refused to accept the order, but also insulted the imperial court with nonsense. Li Shilang's eyelids twitched a few times, and then said: "Remember to speak more fiercely, Manager Wei is also an easily angry person, and he will definitely anger this person completely." ”

The order was properly ordered, someone was ordered to go, and Li Shilang arranged again: "Chen Yun, if Manager Wei meets the people in the inn later, you should wait for the opportunity to move, and lead the eight hundred armor soldiers to punish the people in the hematite mine, and you must not let go of one!"

"The next official has an order!" Chen Yun raised his arms and clenched his fists, and then rode his horse to look at the mountains on the south side, and when he appeared on the top of the mountain, he was already dressed in black, and the bright steel knife was dazzling, echoing the gloomy face covered with black cloth under the hat.

Behind him, eight hundred armor soldiers pulled out black cloth at the same time, covering all their faces.

This is a soldier, but it is also a dead soldier, even if he does not do his best today and falls into the hands of the enemy, in their mouths, they absolutely do not want to hear any news about the instigator, that is, the king.

Everything is ready, just wait for the head of Wei to come, the verbal discord is the opportunity, and the big fight is the opportunity. Today, the order of the 800 dead soldiers is to kill Li Xunlian and remove this thorn in the heart for King Cheng!

......

On the other side, ten miles behind Li Shilang, Manager Wei was lying on the Taishi chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.

In front of him, the attendant sent by Li Shilang had been kneeling for a long time, and he had already said all the bad things he could think of according to Li Shilang's instructions, and now he was short of words, so he had to wait for a reply in silence.

"Manager Wei, that inn kid doesn't seem to take the imperial court seriously. Next to the Taishi chair, a sixty-year-old Taoist stood quietly, holding a gold whisk in his hand, a long sword tied diagonally behind his back, and wearing a Nine Dragons high-martial Taoist robe, thinking that he should be the No. 1 heavyweight of the Taoist Sect.

Hearing this, Manager Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and laughed sharply: "Our family is old, and our body bones are not as good as before, but there is no shortage of heart and eyes, but I didn't expect that Changtianzi, who is one of the three great protectors of the Daoist Sect, is like that minion, and he plays some inferior means to sow discord." ”

When he spoke, he looked at Changtian Zhenren, and stretched out his hand to point to the attendant kneeling in front of him sent by Li Shilang, and his tone was contemptuous, as if he regarded the two as the same stream.

"You!" Chang Tianzhen's nose trembled, and he was almost about to have a seizure, but he seemed to think of something later, and said with a smile: "The few junior disciples brought by this seat today are the four venerables of my sect, but I didn't expect to be said so unbearable by Chief Manager Wei, it's really sad......"

It's just that he wants to kill Li Xunlian but is afraid of completely offending the inn, so he pretends to use the mouth of the array to tie his family and the royal family together.

"Four Venerables, well, the prestige is far and wide, if you join forces to launch the Five Elements Great Array, even our family may have to avoid the edge for the time being. But...... There's no need to help, let's catch the inn's son and brother by ourselves later, as for you, you can do whatever you want, even if it's a scene, don't get involved with the royal family. Chief Wei first praised and then deprecated and sneered and got up, and a little eunuch was already waiting from the side, and took the big coat sewn from the silver fox fur and put it on.

The weather was hot and sultry, but Manager Wei was wearing a thick hat, and Changtian Zhenren smiled when he saw it: "I have heard for a long time that Manager Wei cultivates the Qi of Xuanyin, what's the matter, is this the body bones unbearable, and you have to wear it so heavily on a hot day." ”

"It made the real person laugh. Manager Wei didn't look back, pointed to the direction of the hematite mine from afar, and said: "It's still the same sentence, each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, and the road is the only one that can be walked together, but the matter is two yards, don't pull it together to make do, explain in advance, our family's temper is not very good." ”

After that, Manager Wei boarded the sedan chair, the curtain fell, and a voice came from inside: "Get up the sedan chair, let's go to meet the son-in-law of the inn." ”

Wei Yuhe is the chief of the inner house, and has been in an important position for decades, as early as when Zhu Yi was still the prince, he assisted the first emperor, and now spans the two dynasties, with profound qualifications, and is not only scheming, but also the realm of Xuanxiu is also to reach the realm of the Shenhai, which can be described as the most trusted right-hand man of the Qingxiao Emperor.

In addition to waging wars with foreign countries, there have always been major matters in the court, whether it is the Qingxiao Emperor or the first emperor, they will be the first to think of the head of Wei, he Wei Yuhe does things, and the royal family can rest assured.

Some time ago, Emperor Qingxiao recruited medicine refining masters, and this matter was handled by Wei Yuhe himself, and today, he has recruited more than 3,700 smelting masters, and this number is still expanding.

Last night, when all the birds and beasts were dormant, a messenger suddenly rushed to Lingxiu Mountain and passed on the Qingxiao Emperor's message, ordering the governor of Wei to suspend the affairs at hand and return to deal with Li Xunlian's affairs first.

As for the content of the edict, it made Manager Wei a little puzzled - Li Xunlian, the innkeeper, ignored the imperial court, and Wei Qing should personally go to the edict to arrest him, if he is stubborn, he will be killed!

"Kill the innkeeper...... This matter seems to be a bit reckless, Your Majesty is serious, but now it is abnormal. If Li Xunlian really ignores the prestige of the imperial court, then it is not not the right choice to eradicate it, after all, this son will become the helmsman of the inn sooner or later, if he is presumptuous to that extent now, it is enough to treat it as a huge potential threat.

The guard of honor of Chief Wei is composed of 100 people, and the flags are swaying and the gongs and drums are noisy, which is not because he is pompous, but a necessary pass for the holy decree.

In the distance, on the peak of a certain mountain, several figures stood quietly, among which a middle-aged man looked at the honor guard marching in the canyon, and said softly: "Father-in-law Mu, the oracle of the day ......"

"Don't worry, according to your orders, word for word. Behind him, an old eunuch bowed forward and said flatteringly.

The prince in his mouth is surnamed Zhu Mingduo. That's right, King Cheng is here too!

At this time, how could King Cheng be willing to be lonely, if he could watch Li Xunlian die in his own plan, it would be a great joy in life.

"Father-in-law Mu has done a good job, Nandi has already prepared a thousand acres of fertile land for you, hundreds of slaves and maids, not to mention gold, silver and jewelry, and your scapegoat king has also been arranged, this matter, you can go to Nandi to retire for the rest of your life. ”

"The old slave thanked the prince for his great kindness!" Mu Gonggong smiled and knelt down, this person was the one who passed the Qingxiao Emperor's oracle to the Wei manager that day, the Qingxiao Emperor's oracle is true, but the content is - the inn son Li Xunlian is very likely to refuse to accept the order, Wei Qing should deal with it in person, no matter what, this son must be controlled, but remember one thing, courtesy is indispensable.

From being controlled by courtesy to being killed on the spot, the huge difference is that this person was entrusted by King Cheng to tamper with it himself!

Falsely passing on the emperor's dictation, this is a big crime of deceiving the king, and the nine clans should be exterminated when it comes to crimes. But he is now over seventy years old, and he has lived in the palace for many years, and he has no deep scheming, and if he wants to become bigger, he is afraid that he will have no hope for the rest of his life.

In this way, it is better to go out and fight, but King Cheng said, this matter is done, and the rest of his life can be kept prosperous and rich!

That's glory and wealth, what did he not hesitate to cut off his life and enter the palace for, isn't that what he did, now after so many years, not only did he not be able to mix up the appearance of a dog, but he couldn't even leave his heirs, and the loss was really too great.

Although everyone respects him every time he returns to his hometown, how can Grandpa Mu not understand that it is all a kung fu matter on the surface, and he may not be able to laugh at it behind his back.

So this opportunity must not be missed, not to mention that he also saw the scapegoat selected by King Cheng, the life is seven or eight points similar to himself, supplemented by disguise, even his own mother can't tell the difference, let alone those criminal officials who haven't even seen themselves.

False oracle is guilty of punishing the nine clans, this crime is extremely heavy, but this process is nothing more than a matter of one sentence, gritting your teeth, in exchange for glory and wealth, this thing can be done!

It was done beautifully, and it was done beautifully, and Manager Wei didn't have the slightest suspicion of Grandpa Mu that night!

"Grandpa Mu, you can go now. King Cheng smiled and personally bowed down to help Gonggong Mu.

"Thank you for your great kindness, thank you for your great kindness!" Grandpa Mu was extremely excited, and straightened up tremblingly, only to feel that from now on, his waist would no longer have to bend.

He turned around and left, with excitement and joy on his face, and his heart was the fantasy of "returning to his hometown".

Serving the nobles of the palace for decades, I have endured countless hardships, shed countless sweats, and naturally learned countless ways to enjoy, or that sentence, we have silver, and after returning to our hometown, hundreds of people will serve, not the emperor but like the emperor of the soil, we also enjoy the blessings of the high.

Two quarters of an hour later, Grandpa Mu had already walked to the foot of the mountain, and he was completely immersed in the wonderful fantasy, and he didn't notice it at all, and a figure was always trailing behind him.

Poof......

The sound of sharp objects piercing suddenly sounded, and Gonggong Mu only felt a chill in his heart, and subconsciously looked down, only to see that the knife light was bright, and the sunlight hit it extremely dazzling. But at this moment, he didn't even feel the pain anymore, his eyes gradually drifted, and the blood on the blade slowly dripped down, as if turning into a torrent, drowning all the wonderful fireworks in his heart.

Suddenly, King Cheng had an extra guard by his side, and the guard whispered a few words in his ear, and a light smile appeared on King Cheng's face.

Killing people and killing people, for King Cheng, this kind of thing is tantamount to eating and drinking, which is very common.

"Thick burial. He spoke calmly, and said that he had finished his robe with a flick of his sleeves, and walked in the direction of the hematite mine without looking back.

Behind him, seven or eight guards followed closely, and beside him, a figure that seemed to be wrapped in black qi was also expressionless.

......

Xu Xu from the front of the hematite mine, the honor guard of Chief Wei suddenly stopped, and it was several guards who stopped them, claiming that the front was the boundary of the hematite field, and even if the Qingxiao Emperor came in person, if he wanted to enter, he had to get permission from the mine owner.

Manager Wei frowned at first, and then turned into anger after a while, the rumors are indeed true, the attitude of this inn is really too crazy!

"Our family hasn't done anything for more than ten years, and today you can be regarded as bumping, and it is fortunate to be able to die under the aura of Xuanyin!" Manager Wei's voice was extremely cold, and he didn't see how he acted, so a deep cold aura spread out instantly, and where he passed, the ground suddenly froze, and the guards couldn't even say a word, and they were directly frozen into icemen.

Then the wind picked up and shattered into countless ice chips......

At this moment, including Changtian Zhenren, his face was pale, and Mr. Wei's invisible means of killing people was worthy of being the power of the Divine Sea!

"Let's go. Manager Wei retracted his hands into the sleeves of his robe and commanded softly, at this moment, he seemed to be closing his eyes to recuperate, but this magic power of killing people in an instant was a touch of sharpness.

Chen Yun, who had already been ambushed nearby, saw this scene, and a sinister smile crossed the corner of his mouth, a few dead soldiers in exchange for the fury of the power of the Divine Sea of Chief Wei, it was worth it!

It turned out that even these guards were the calculations of King Cheng, and Li Shilang personally arranged for people to disguise themselves as hematite field guards, who had been waiting here for a long time, but this ordinary trick was really the most exquisite layout.

Li Shilang is not a fool, how can he not know that although Manager Wei has a violent temperament, he can't just add fuel and vinegar to his rhetoric to make him comply, and that seemingly clumsy method is just a clever chess piece.

I have to say that King Cheng has many strategists, and even with him, they are all scheming people who are good at layout. Now everything is ready only to owe the east wind, and the east wind is also in the calculation of the king, as long as the head of Wei arrives at the hematite mine, the east wind will come as scheduled!

After another few moments, the guard of honor finally appeared outside the gate of the hematite mine, there was no guard in front of the door, only a man wearing a hat was lying on a rocking chair, enjoying the shade of the tree.

Manager Wei's eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened, and at the same time, he whispered, "Qin Shura, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Hearing this, the man ripped off his hat and grinned: "Wei Yuhe, how come more than ten years have passed, and you are still like this?"

"How can I say that I am not alive, the old decay is about to die, the two legs have long been buried in the soil, and now there is only one breath left to hang, and I am praised for being half dead. I don't know if Mr. Wei is really not angry, anyway, he can't see the emotion and made a joke, he didn't call himself "our family" this time, but called himself "old decay", which shows that the two of them now represent their respective identities in the rivers and lakes, and they belong to the past.

"Haha, you're quite self-aware!" The second shopkeeper laughed loudly, then his face sank, and he said, "Qin heard that you came here to arrest my son-in-law?"

"I still want to talk to you about the old things, since I said this, then our family will also make it clear, Li Xunlian despises the imperial court, and now he has to go with our family no matter what. Manager Wei played with the green wrench on his thumb and did not look at the second shopkeeper.

"Oh, what if Qin shouldn't. The second shopkeeper asked with a sneer.

"Then we don't mind loosening and loosening our muscles. "Mr. Wei replied decisively, without the slightest delay.

For a while, the atmosphere was tense, although the two Shenhai powers did not make a move, but there was already a majestic coercion between them, and Changfeng Zhenren, who originally wanted to interject some words, was unable to speak at this moment.

At this moment, the gate of the hematite mine creaked open, and a young figure slowly walked out, holding a long sword in his hand, the sword was not unsheathed, but there was a buzzing tremor, this is the battle intent, the soul senses the master's state of mind and voluntarily emits the battle intent.

"Chief Wei, I have already said that I should go to see Your Majesty in person in the near future, and how can I still come to the door several times to persecute them, the first three messengers made me spare their lives, but when I let them go, I also told them, and if there are people who do not know how to come to the door to persecute them, I should regard it as a provocation. ”

Li Xunlian's neck was slightly raised, his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and the last sentence was regarded as a provocation, and he said it loudly.

"Provocateurs, whoever they are, will pay the price!"

With the sound of the dragon's chant, a few words were slowly spit out......
