Liuyue and General Broken lived a farming life at the border where birds don't, but a major incident happened in the capital.

Li Qinshan, the emperor of the southern kingdom, died in the main hall, and to be honest, it is not surprising that this unreasonable faint monarch drank and had fun all day long, looking for flowers and asking willows.

It's no wonder that before the emperor of the southern kingdom died inexplicably, the palace that had always been extravagant and crispy was not very peaceful, and the palace people who were divided into peacemates on weekdays died one after another.

One by one, they died in a miserable state, their bodies stiff, and the expressions on their faces were as distorted and terrifying as if they had seen a terrible ghost.

First there were young and beautiful palace maids, then handsome eunuchs, and finally handsome guards......

Even the guards with some force died quietly, and the whole killing process was like a ghost doing something without leaving any clues.

The people related to the palace died one by one, and now they have died directly to the head of the emperor of the southern kingdom, and for a while, the people in the southern kingdom were panicked, for fear that the next person to die would be himself.

The unscrupulous monarch passed away inexplicably, and the regent Xu Zhou, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, helped maintain the government and firmly held the actual power of the entire southern kingdom in the palm of his hand.

Xu Zhou raised the eight-year-old puppet emperor to ascend the throne and became the one who held the puppet silk thread.

The vast and fertile southern kingdom is still nominally the Li family, but in fact it has changed its surname to Xu.

seems to confirm that Li Qinshan is mediocre, after his death, the puppet emperor successfully ascended the throne, and there were no more dead people in the palace.

The turbulent court actually settled down suddenly, and those who were disciplined and went up and down on time actually looked positive in the ascendant.

The autumn festival for the selection of talents in the southern kingdom was held as scheduled, and the little emperor sat tremblingly on the main hall, and the regent watched the whole process with half-squinted eyes.

The aforementioned little scholar participated in the palace examination on time under Zhou Xuan's mutual send-off, sharpened his ink and pen, and completed it in one go.

I don't dare to say that I am nine out of ten, at least I am full of confidence.

In previous years, there were too many shady scenes in the autumn season, and there were even cases of local rich people spending money to seek official positions, and the entire southern country tended to be in a state of decline and decay.

The scholar raised his eyebrows, and wrote the open-ended topic on the paper with his fair and clean hands, the southern country is mediocre, and the era of "everything is inferior, only reading is high" has long passed.

Even the peddlers and pawns on the street knew to laugh when they saw the appearance of a scholar, "It's useless to be a scholar." ”

But now there seems to be a turnaround.

This year's autumn festival is very different from previous years, I heard that the little emperor who has just ascended the throne has strengthened the management of the autumn festival, and the chief examiner and the judges do not dare to make a mistake.

Although anyone with a discerning eye knows who is behind this idea, they are still respectful to this puppet emperor.

The scholar put down the brush, pinched the thin rice paper and handed in the roll in advance, flicked his sleeves and retreated, the elegant and comfortable bookish anger was eye-catching.

The regent took a sip of tea, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Come on, bring the scholar's scroll." ”

……

It is said that Zhou Xuan, as the last civet cat, was pinched by the Taoist, and then followed the scholar all the way to the capital, turned into a black cat, and stayed in the palace for several days, and did not see any monsters come to make a mistake.

But the appearance of those palace people when they died made it clear that there must be a monster hidden in this palace, and he was still a powerful monster who was used to disguise, and he knew how to eliminate traces after committing a crime.

On this day, Zhou Xuan was lazily nesting on the stone slab in the form of a cat, when he suddenly saw a huge mouse running towards the room.

The mouse was several times the size of an ordinary mouse, and its gray-black hair looked even harder than that of a wild boar, and its long tail was like a huge hemp rope used to pull a cart, which was impossible to ignore.

Especially the rat has a thief's eye, and it's not a good thing to look at.

Out of the nature of the cat clan, Zhou Xuan ran towards the mouse at once, grinning and approaching it little by little.

The big rat turned into an obscene-looking adult man, wearing a black-gray robe, and was eating something at the moment, making a loud eating sound.

Zhou Xuan's eyelids jumped, and he saw a corner of the bright yellow dragon robe, a large piece of red blood fainted little by little, and the entire palace was filled with a heavy smell of blood.

This harmful rat spirit actually ate the emperor of the southern kingdom.

Zhou Xuan didn't have time to think about it, the demon clan violated the law of the Six Realms by hurting people, and naturally he wanted to kill him quickly.

"Bold Rat Demon!" As soon as Zhou Xuan flicked his sleeves, he became a man dressed in black, "I dare to do anything wrong in the Southern Palace." ”

The rat demon moved the lewd mustache on his face, and the sly little black eyes blinked, and his tone was full of impatience, "Ho, it's another obstacle." ”

"You monster, in order to increase your cultivation, you actually eat living people." Zhou Xuan stood straight, "This waste emperor was born fat and strong, and his spiritual sense has long been wasted, and you won't get any dragon qi if you eat him." ”

"So what." The rat demon let out a terrible scream, exuding a thick black qi all over his body, directing the black qi to hit Zhou Xuan head-on.

(That's right, this rat demon is the one that Yue Yue and the Broken General met on the southern border, and now it has escalated in a frenzy and has arrived in the capital.) ）

Zhou Xuan dodged the fierce attack of the rat demon, and released a purple attack with his backhand, and the purple qi hit the tail of the rat demon hard, cutting it off from the middle, and the cross-section was purple rat rotten meat.

Zhou Xuan's face changed, "Are you trying to enter the demon demon this rat demon?" ”

The rat demon screamed in pain, and then laughed, the laughter sounded creepy, and Zhou Xuan had goosebumps all over his body.

"So what, who stipulates that only your immortal clan can enter the demon, and the demon clan can't?" The voice of the rat demon was faint as if it was an accusation, "The immortal clan is called a fallen immortal when it enters the demon, but the demon clan is even high climbing when it enters the demon, why?" ”

"The rat immortals in the heavenly realm are not like you to do evil." Zhou Xuan frowned, and unceremoniously poked his heart, "You also have the opportunity to cultivate immortals, how can you go to the road of no return to the demon in your own life." ”

The rat demon took a sip and spit out the meat in his mouth, "This senseless faint king is really oil, and this big mouthful of fat is really greasy to the mouth of the deity." ”

The corners of Zhou Xuan's mouth twitched, although this emperor of the Southern Kingdom is a well-known senseless faint monarch in the mouth of the people, but in the end he is also a living person, counting the previous guards palace people, this rat demon has already killed a lot of living people, so naturally it can't be kept.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Xuan conjured up a long sword with a black body, "If you do it, you will bear the consequences." ”

The jet-black blade glowed with obsidian-like brilliance, and the rat demon was rarely willing to raise his eyelids, "Civet? ”

Zhou Xuan didn't want to say anything more to this rat demon, so he stabbed the rat demon with a long sword in his hand, the skin and flesh opened, and the rat demon screamed miserably, turning into a mass of black gas and dissipating little by little.

Killed the man-eating rat demon, and the sound of the night watchman knocking on the door came from the door, "Your Majesty, the new girl from the room brought it a few days ago." ”

Zhou Xuan turned into a civet cat and jumped out along the trembling open door.

The palace man fell to the ground with a cry of surprise, "Ah-Your Majesty, Your Majesty was ...... by thieves"

After the death of the Emperor of Wudao, the regent naturally took power, supported the puppet new emperor to ascend the throne, and was in charge of selecting talents in the spring and autumn of the past years, strengthening the number of soldiers on the border, lightly repaying the meager endowment, and recuperating.

——Xu Zhou became a powerful minister of the government and the opposition, and also a regent who was deeply loved by the people.

As for what happened after the new emperor who was supported by the regent was tough, that's another story.

General Liuyue and Broken have always been very dedicated to guarding the frontier, maintaining the tranquility of the border, making income and rest at sunrise, day after day, year after year.

……

"Daddy." Xiao Tuanzi stumbled to the place where Gao Chen was training on two small short legs, and the soft sound echoed throughout the white field.

"Why is Zheng'er here?" Gao Chen squatted down and picked up his son, and kissed the child on the face, "It's so poisonous this day, it's time to tan Zheng'er." ”

"Zheng'er doesn't tan." The child raised his little head high, "The mother said that Zheng'er, like her father, has a physique that does not tan her. ”

The child's words successfully amused Gao Chen, and pinched the child's elastic little face, "You still know the physique." ”

"From today on, Zheng'er will learn to ride and shoot with his father, and in the future, he will guard the peace of the party like his father."

The child said very seriously, the soft little face was tense, and the whole person looked very serious and serious, quite like a little adult.

"Zheng'er is too young," Gao Chen sneered, "It will take a few more years for him to grow a little taller before he can hold the horse rope." ”

The soldiers on the white field saw that their generals were talking to their sons kindly, and they did not have the strict appearance of military training at all, and they relaxed for a while, and some of them even let out a string of chuckles.

Hearing the soldier's laughter, Gao Chen was not annoyed, but just put the child in his hand on the ground, pulled his white and fat little meat hand and said, "Zheng'er will watch my brothers and uncles shoot arrows first, okay?" ”

"If you read more, you will become more proficient in the future." Gao Chen saw the child nodding solemnly, and a smile appeared between his eyebrows.

"So Zheng'er must eat well, so that she can grow as tall as her father in the future, no, Zheng'er must grow taller than her father."

The child snorted, and a pair of dark eyes stared straight at the red heart of the grass target.

Gao Chen reached out and touched the child's head, signaling the soldiers to shoot arrows one by one.

"Nine Rings." Zheng'er clapped her hands happily, tried to raise her little face and said to Gao Chen, "Daddy, look, it's the Nine Rings!" It's the Nine Rings! ”

Gao Chen smiled, "Zheng'er is here to watch carefully, Daddy will shoot you a ten-ring shot." ”

Zheng'er nodded obediently.

took a pair of bows and arrows from the weapon rack, Gao Chen pulled the bow and arrows, a pair of sharp phoenix eyes stared closely at the bull's-eye, and the long arrows were released with the rapid movement, piercing the red heart on the target.

"The general is mighty." The surrounding soldiers immediately clapped their hands and applauded, "One arrow hits the heart." ”

Gao Chen smiled and heard Zheng'er say, "Daddy is mighty." ”

"Daddy misses my mother." The smile on Gao Chen's face deepened, "Is it okay for Zheng'er to take his father there?" ”

"Okay."
