The capital, in the palace, in the garden.

Shi Hongyu, whose mother is expensive with her son, and now Shi Guifei, handed over the sleeping little prince in her arms to the nurse, and instructed her to take the prince back to the palace. Otherwise, let's come and live in the palace. The daughter has the prince's side, and her position is consolidated, and no one will make irresponsible remarks. ”

Sloane shook his head slowly.

Shi Hongyu was anxious and called, "Dad." There was a lot of worry in his tone.

Shi Long raised his hand and asked his daughter not to say more, and sighed: "I knew today, why bother in the beginning." Today, regret is useless. Daughter, don't worry about your father anymore, just settle down in the palace. Daddy, I've been in charge for half my life, I haven't experienced any wind and rain, it's going to be fine, you put your heart in your stomach. ”

Shi Long is stubborn, and Shi Hongyu, as a daughter, understands it deeply.

Hearing his insistence, Shi Hongyu stopped persuading for the time being, stroked the complicated and heavy ornaments on his head, and said, "Okay, Dad, I don't care." By the way, what about the second senior brother, I heard that His Majesty sent him out, what did he do? ”

Shi Long said: "It seems that there is some chaos at the border, and His Majesty sent him to quell the chaos." ”

Shi Hongyu was puzzled and asked, "What kind of mess can be used by the second senior brother?" ”

Shi Long said: "Harassment by foreign clans, there is a group of people whose kung fu is not low, and ordinary soldiers can't resist it, your second senior brother is just right." ”

Shi Hongyu said: "I see. If the second senior brother can successfully return, he will be able to become an official again. ”

Sloane smiled a little smugly when he thought of the capable apprentice.

Shi Long's apprentice, the second senior brother in Shi Hongyu's mouth is named Fu Dong.

Since Fu Dong entered the court as an official, he has been highly valued by the current emperor and has often been entrusted with important tasks. The promotion is fast and enviable.

Fu Dong was originally a straight-hearted Jianghu person, but after entering the officialdom by mistake, he was actually good at dancing with long sleeves and like a fish in water.

Once, Shi Long was always worried that Fu Dong would not be able to adapt to officialdom, who knows, the good man adapts better than him, the master. Shi Long even thought that if there was no war, Fu Dong would not have the opportunity to make great contributions, and one day, he would definitely be able to climb to the position of military attaché.

The current situation is not bad.

In the more than two years that Shi Long has settled in the capital with his Dragon Slaying Gang, he has received a lot of praise for this capable apprentice.

The higher the status of the disciple in the court, the greater the power.

How could Shi Long, as a master, not be happy.

The father and daughter then began to talk to each other and care for each other.

Not long after, the husband's husband next to the emperor came and invited Shi Long into the imperial study.

The father and daughter said goodbye temporarily, Shi Hongyu returned to the dormitory, and Shi Long followed his father-in-law to face the saint.

Shi Long knew that the emperor's "son-in-law" was not a good stubble, and the city was unfathomable.

It's the middle of July, and the weather is hot and stuffy.

Sloane felt a little out of breath, hoping that there would be no tricky trouble to talk about in a while.

It was cool in the study.

Shi Long thought to himself: "It is worthy of being the place where the emperor stays." "Respectfully salute the emperor's "son-in-law".

After the dragon case, Fang Qi, who was dressed in bright yellow, waved his hand, exempted Shi Long from the courtesy, and then ordered the old eunuch to wait outside the door.

After the old eunuch obeyed the order and left, Fang Qi smiled and said, "Sit down." ”

Sloane thanked him and found a chair to sit down.

Fang Qi said: "Alliance leader, there is an important matter to come to you. ”

Shi Long said: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Fang Qi was satisfied with Shi Long's attitude, and with a "hmm", he picked up a note on the table.

Shi Long hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and after reading it, his face changed drastically, and he raised his eyes to look at Fang Qi.

Fang Qi reminded: "Alliance leader! The corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Shi Long was startled, only to realize that he had lost his temper, and quickly confessed and retreated, his brows furrowed.

Fang Qi remained silent and said lightly: "How does the alliance leader want to solve this matter?" "Asked casually, didn't care.

Shi Long pondered and said: "The affairs of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes." As the leader of the martial arts alliance, the grass people should solve it properly, and they will not let the people in the martial arts disturb the stability of the capital. ”

Fang Qi said with a smile: "The alliance leader has a heart. ”

Shi Long said: "It is natural to share worries for the king!" ”

The voice fell, and before Fang Qi's politeness, there was a knock on the door.

Fang Qi raised his voice and asked the old eunuch guarding the door to come in.

The old eunuch pushed the door in, as if he didn't see Shi Long, walked straight to Fang Qi's side, leaned over and whispered in his ear.

Fang Qi nodded and said to Shi Long, "Alliance Leader, step back first." ”

Shi Long naturally obeyed and respectfully retired.

After leaving the imperial study, Shi Long only felt that the weather was more stuffy, sighed, and hurried out of the palace.

After returning home, Shi Long went straight to the study and immediately repaired a few letters and handed them over to his disciples to distribute.

Zhao Ziyi, who is in name only with Shi Long, heard about Shi Long's situation from his subordinates, and came to the study to ask what happened.

Shi Long deliberately concealed it, shook his head and sighed, and said with a smile: "After meeting with the emperor, what good mood can I have." Hey, no, you can't get off the thief ship, you have to do all the dirty work and tiring work. ”

Zhao Ziyi was not uninformed, and probably understood the royal attitude towards Shi Long, and knew that Shi Long did not plan to reveal it to her, so he believed his words, mentioned a few words of concern such as "be careful", and left happily.

The two of them are not husband and wife after all, and the only thing they can talk about together is the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Since the alliance leader didn't want her to interfere, she naturally had to listen to the order.

After Zhao Ziyi left, Shi Long smiled helplessly, looked at the desktop of the desk, and smiled bitterly.

Today, what Fang Qi gave him was the news that fellow martial artists intended to hold a martial arts conference.

It's a pity that he, as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, doesn't even know about it.

Sloan is not a fool, so he can naturally guess the trick.

Recently, there have been no major events in the martial arts.

This martial arts conference is strange, since it is avoiding him, then, nine out of nine are aimed at him.

Shi Long thought in his heart that those people must have planned to prepare everything, and when the conference was approaching, they would give him news again, catch him off guard, and make him defenseless.

Shi Long was in a complicated mood, and he couldn't figure out what he had done, which was worthy of being treated like this by fellow martial artists.

He is self-aware and understands that his actions in recent years are not very kind, but he acts in a measured manner, weighs the past, and does not find that there is anything that can push him down from the position of the leader of the alliance and cause confrontation among his colleagues.

Shi Long turned around and reached out, took out the world's number one token from the mezzanine of the bookshelf behind him, rubbed it, pondered, and couldn't find any clue.

In fact, the world is impermanent, and people are not as good as heaven.

Where did Shi Long think that the first big scene of this martial arts conference was the Fire Spirit Sect.

That was the key used to give him a fatal blow and directly hit him from the head of the righteous path to the shameless one, and it was naturally very secretive.

Shi Long couldn't have imagined that the matter of re-examining the Fire Spirit Sect, restoring the reputation of the Fire Spirit Sect, and avenging the grievances of Zhaoxue was not provoked by the Fire Spirit Sect itself, but was initiated by the Wudang head Ye He and Shaolin monk Yuan Yuan, who were used by Wu Yun Zhao and Gu Qianshan.

Inside and out, the martial arts conference has nothing to do with the Fire Spirit Sect.

Even, on the day of the conference, it didn't matter if no one from the Fire Spirit Sect attended.

As long as the wild cranes, the gardens, and the martial arts seniors they summoned can come up with evidence to prove that Shi Long's martial arts are in the same vein as the Fire Spirit Sect, and then restore the truth of the year.

The Fire Spirit Sect has disappeared for nearly twenty years. Many of the younger generation didn't even know that the Fire Spirit Cult existed.

Sloane himself thought that the Fire Spirit Sect had long since disappeared.

Back then, he was still young when he followed his master Shi Jie to harm the Fire Spirit Sect, and all he did was mending the knife and mending the palm, no matter what, after many years, the Fire Spirit Church became a piece of drift that crushed him.

Shi Long was reborn because he practiced the martial arts of the Guo family, led the Dragon Slaying Gang, and was coquettish for decades, which is enough to be wasted, and it is time to pay off his debts.

However, Sloane is not someone who has never seen the world.

He's not going to sit still.

The letters he sent were used to call for helpers.

After all, he is the leader of the alliance, and Yu Wei still exists. The sects that did not know what he was doing, who had been helped and protected by him, still firmly supported him, and at that time, he would definitely not be alone.

Shi Long also thought about it, the best strategy is good, and the next strategy is melee.

The days passed, and it was getting closer and closer to August 15.

The people in the capital are happy and lively to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, while watching more and more people on the street worry.

Especially those who set up stalls and opened shops, they are always afraid of it, for fear that some people in the rivers and lakes will start fighting without saying a word, and by the way, they will smash their business.

On the side of the street, there was an aunt who gathered together to chat with a vegetable basket, covered her mouth, and said in a low voice: "I said, are these people going to turn the sky upside down?" Why do you have to run to the capital for everything? Do you still take the Son of Heaven in your eyes? ”

The old sister next to her trembled and said, "Alas, don't talk nonsense." It's not to get yourself in trouble. ”

The aunt said: "Can those big people still get along with my wife?" Hey, I said, the city is so chaotic, it started with the Dragon Slaying Gang. ”

Another said, "Oh, why shouldn't you say something?" People are relatives of the emperor and the country, and you dare to say that the old man of the saint is a stall. Go, stay away from me, my grandson has just been born for less than 100 days, don't trouble me with the lawsuit. ”

The aunt laughed and said, "Look at your little talent, if you don't say it, you won't say it." But he couldn't help but say a few more words, lowered his voice and said: "It's not that I said, that old man is strong enough, and the Son of Heaven dares to open the Dragon Slaying Gang at his feet, and he doesn't know how to avoid taboos and taboos." ”

Another said: "People are a family, what are the taboos." I haven't heard of the saint being unhappy for so many years. Let's just avoid taboos, let's go. ”

The people want to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the palace also wants to welcome it. The festival is when it should be, and it doesn't come early or late because of the identity of the person who greets it.

It's just that unlike ordinary people who are happy to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, this year's palace is not as joyful as in previous years.

Why?

Because the third prince is seriously ill, he is about to die.
