Chapter 12: The Edge of the Broken Palm
Broken Palm Cliff is the northernmost cliff of the Southern Border Mountain, named because its shape is similar to the palm of a person, it is located in a remote place, rugged and difficult to walk, and basically no one comes.
As early as more than 100 years ago, dozens of doctors were attracted by the rich medicinal materials and the steep terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is surrounded by mountains and has a beautiful environment, and it is also a must-visit place in early spring or early autumn, even if it is only seen from a distance, it is also satisfied.
If you look at it in the morning or evening, you will find that in the ethereal room, it seems to have come to a fairyland on earth, even the royal family and nobles of the Shanglin Kingdom come here to stay here for a few days every year, and some people are reluctant to leave because this place is too beautiful.
In order to gain the trust of the royal family of the past dynasties, a few outstanding doctors in Xinglin Yuan will be sent to the palace, and the beautiful name is "so-and-so imperial doctor", and even outstanding female doctors have become the emperor's concubines, so many people who are famous in Xinglin Yuan but do not like the royal family's deception have left one after another, like Hanque and Biliuli couple, and then such as the grandson of Xuanji, of course, there are also people who yearn for the palace and the powerful.
People's hearts are often different, and each has its own choice, so each has its own destiny.
At this moment, there were three people standing here, their clothes moving in the wind, and the faces of the three people were different.
The leader was a man dressed in a dark robe, with long hair of a strange silver-gray color, which was tied up on top of his head, and the whole person looked evil and mysterious. It's just that the suffocating momentum emanating from his body made even a man and a woman behind him hold their breath and dare not speak.
The two of them, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what is wrong with today's master.
"Is everything done?" After a long time, the dark man spoke, he looked at the mountains in the distance, and the corners of his lips hooked up a sneer.
"If you go back to the eldest prince, the matter has been done." The man in black replied.
"It's all arranged, and when Shen arrives, they can enter Xinglin Courtyard."
"All of them?" The man in Xuanyi is the eldest prince of Jin Cangguo, who is suspicious and brutal by nature, and his ambition is well known to the world, but he is not favored.
In the hearts of the people of Jin Cangguo, the gentle second prince Xu Changyuan is the best candidate for the future throne.
Oh, it's ridiculous, he's a dignified son-in-law, and he's not as good as a cheap breed born to a side concubine, these are the words he often puts on his lips.
"This ..... If you go back to the eldest prince, there will only be fifty people in Xinglin Yuan this year, so not all of our people will be able to become disciples of Xinglin Yuan, and they will have to ........"
"Rubbish!" Xu Zeyan turned around and slapped the man in black to the ground, and the man fell to the ground prostrate and didn't dare to make a sound.
"The subordinates are not doing well, and I ask the eldest prince to punish him." The man trembled, and did not dare to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hands.
Seeing this, the woman on the side immediately knelt down and said, "Please calm the anger of the eldest prince, my subordinates believe that there is floating, and things will definitely be as the eldest prince wishes." ”
"Humph!" Hearing the name of the floating floater, Na Xuan Zeyan's face softened slightly.
"As long as all of them can pass the first level, are they afraid that the second level will not be able to solve the rest of the people in the dense forest?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a mocking smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and his right hand rubbed slightly, and a low, hoarse voice resounded above the heads of the two behind him.
"Tell the float that everything is going according to plan, and don't make your own decisions."
"This time, I will definitely hit the key point of his Shang Lin, so that they will no longer have the ability to fight back."
"Yes, the eldest prince is wise."
The two of them broke out in a cold sweat, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the eldest prince wanted to remove seven or eight out of ten irrelevant people in the land of the dense forest, this move was really ruthless enough, but the land of the dense forest could not be seen from the outside through the north and south water mirrors? Do you have to bring a change of clothes with you when you go in? They didn't dare to ask these questions, because they believed that the plankton would solve it.
"Get up." Xu Zeyan frowned and glanced at them, "Is my father's illness better?" ”
The two men got up.
The woman in black raised her head and replied: "Back to the eldest prince, the wind and flying pigeons spread the news that the emperor only occasionally felt the wind and cold a few days ago, and now there is no major problem, please let the eldest prince be relieved, don't be distracted by this." ”
"Huh!" Xu Zeyan chuckled, "It's okay so soon?" It seems that my father's health is not bad, presumably because I am not by his side, and his illness will naturally be cured. After speaking, there was another burst of laughter, laughing and laughing, and feeling tired, gritting his teeth and swallowing the inexplicable pain in his heart.
The two behind him are very tacit about the eyes, nose, nose and heart, the royal affairs have been foggy since ancient times, and there is no way to verify which is right or wrong, only to choose with your heart, and be safe with what you encounter.
And now the situation of the eldest prince is extremely difficult, and the entire Jin Cang knows that the heir to the throne that the emperor values is the second prince, not the eldest prince.
The second prince knows how to buy the hearts of the people, and every year he will go to the people to inspect the people's feelings, rain or shine for several years. Later, in order to thank the second prince, the people donated money to build prayer temples for the second prince in various places, and may God bless this benevolent prince to ascend to the throne as soon as possible. Even the ministers of the court and the central government also said that they would make the second prince the crown prince, which can imagine the mood of the eldest prince at that time.
Those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world, and I hope that the prince can understand this truth as soon as possible.
"The eldest prince, Chengfeng also said in the letter....... The emperor and queen are very concerned about you and want you to return to the palace as soon as possible! ”
Qianhong hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth, although the emperor did not like the eldest prince very much, but after all, he was born to the queen and was a concubine, and most of the people in the palace supported the eldest prince, she believed that it must be the eldest prince who finally ascended the throne.
"Really? Father misses me? Xuan Zeyan seemed to be saying it to them, and it seemed to be saying it to himself.
"Qianhong, tell Chengfeng that as soon as the matter is done, I will go back to my father to say goodbye."
"Yes"
"The eldest prince, as for the deployment in Xinglin Courtyard, you can rest assured that you will leave it to your subordinates and Gu Zuo, and you must not let the people of Shanglin Kingdom find out that you are here."
"Hmm" Xuan Zeyan nodded, "It's not easy to come to Shanglin Country, so I have to find something to do for their General Suo's Mansion." Hahahaha! How could the general of Shang Linguo, Sonam, sit in the General's Mansion so comfortably? ”
"Yes," Gu Zuo, the man in black, said, "Great Prince, I have arranged for twenty top masters of the Shanglin Kingdom to assassinate them, I heard that the second prince of the General's Mansion will also arrive at Xinglin Courtyard for treatment in the near future, and I heard that he was seriously injured a few days ago." ”
"Oh, is it? Did you prepare a gift for Suo Huaixiu on the way? Xu Zeyan hooked the corners of his lips, as if he was in a good mood.
"The eldest prince can rest assured, the best gift has been arranged on the way." Gu Zuo replied.
"Really?" Xu Zeyan chuckled, "The best gift? Scold! The current Shang Lin's killer is nothing more than that, why bother to kill him as a general's son when the Red Refining Hall was dominating the world. ”
"That's what the eldest prince said." Gu Zuo didn't know that the world was terrified of the Red Refining Hall back then, and for some reason, the Red Refining Hall mysteriously disappeared a year ago, just as its brutal killing style was known overnight.
The head of the family, Chi Yihong and Lian Jingqiu, are also nowhere to be found, and they have not heard the news that they are still alive.
"It is rumored that Sonam followed the old thief's plan to dismantle the long-standing hidden danger for the Shanglin Kingdom at once. After that, I don't know what tricks he used to make the killers who were once in the top nine in the Red Refining Hall be able to follow his two sons to protect them. ”
It is said that Hua Nian, the killer who ranked first, has been by the side of the second son of the General's Mansion since he was a child, but unfortunately he died a year ago when he was on a mission.
The second-ranked Luo Mei is now the personal guard to protect the eldest prince of the General's Mansion, it is said that Su Qin, who ranked sixth, followed him at the beginning, who knew that the two of them actually fell in love with each other, and Sonam sent someone to assassinate him after discovering it, but who is Su Qin, she is from the Red Refining Hall, although the martial arts can only be ranked sixth, but the light skills are excellent, since then Su Qin has been at enmity with the entire Suo General's Mansion, and the eldest prince of the Suo family has never come forward from beginning to end.
Some people say that he is unkind, some people say that he was locked up by Sonam Sui, but two years ago Sonan went out with the general and was ambushed by Su Qin, and afterwards Sonam was paralyzed with both legs, and Su Qin was killed on the way to escape, so later the side of the eldest son of the Suo family was replaced by the second-ranked disgusted Luomei.
The third-ranked idiot was killed by a knife in the temple, and the fourth-ranked Gai Siye and the fifth-ranked Wu Qianyan were loyal to the side of the second prince and the eldest prince respectively.
Ming Chen, who ranked seventh, was killed six months ago when he avenged the dead Hua, but he was rescued by the head of the house, Chi Yihong and Lian Jingqiu, and I don't know if it was life or death.
There is no one who can assassinate the second son of the Suo family who is still alive, so the world thinks that Ming Chen is dead.
August Lake, ranked eighth, and Jiusi, ranked ninth, were taken by the second son of the General's Mansion for their own use.
To everyone's surprise, none of these killers who used to kill people in the Red Refining Hall did not blink.
"Humph!" Xuan Zeyan snorted softly, such a father exchanged his legs for the thoughtfulness of his two sons, heh, and his own father ..........
"Sonam has issued an edict with the vacancy of the old thief's official position?"
"Back to the words of the eldest prince, now the position of the great general is shared by Sonam with the two sons of the old thief.........."
"Oh?" Xu Zeyan looked at Gu Zuo with interest, "Co-office?" So that means the two share the same position? ”
"Interesting, interesting. Could it be that Shang Linguo also produced a left major general, and a right major general could not be? ”
"Hahaha! It's really a big joke in the world, the faint monarch is really the faint monarch, so the second son of the Suo family also agrees? ”
"If you go back to the eldest prince, the second son of the Suo family returned to the capital from Yanling Pass two years ago." Gu Zuo said, "The second son of the Suo family is just an ordinary businessman now, so all the affairs of the general's mansion are temporarily in charge of the eldest prince of the Suo family. ”
Hearing this, Xu Zeyan turned his head to look at him, "Business? "Oh, interesting, it's not just about business, right?
"Great Prince, this is a great time for you to make a contribution." Of course, Gu Zuo knew his master's thoughts.
Xuan Zeyan only smiled silently, looking at the foggy sky in the distance, it seems that this Shanglin Kingdom is about to change the sky.
"Don't forget, I still have to hang my life, and if necessary, his grandson will not be left behind."
"Yes"
Qian Hong and Gu Zuo knew that this trip to the southern border was extremely dangerous, you must know that they brought less than a hundred people, more than sixty people were sent to the Xinglin Courtyard in the southern border, and less than forty people were protecting the eldest prince, and how many more than sixty people would be left after the dense forest land?
I heard that it was dangerous and abnormal, even if a master like the eldest prince entered, he might not be able to come out unharmed, let alone the more than sixty people.
Except for the floating martial arts, which are much less than him and Qianhong, the others are almost the same as the two of them.
