Chapter 112: Appointment
In the majestic imperial city, in the deep palace of the Great Inner Palace, a young man with a green face wearing a bright yellow robe and embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon sits upright in the imperial study, flipping through the desktop piled up like a mountain, but it is clearly divided into different types and neatly arranged movements, and sometimes dipped in bright red ink to make a short line of instructions. Oh, the young emperor stretched his waist, pulled out the second drawer in the lower left corner of the imperial table, took out a stack of notes, and looked through the various anecdotes carefully prepared by the Purple Cloth Wei Mi Xinji for this Ninety-Five Supreme.
"Therefore, Wu Yi, the grandson of Luding Gong, was assassinated on the way to Yumen to take office, and the assassins dispatched 50 cavalry and 50 infantry, and plotted against Zhang Xiandong, the major secretary of the Tongyi garrison, and 20 soldiers patrolling the city, and set up a bureau inside and outside a valley ten miles outside Tongyi City to besiege and kill Wu Yi, and Wu Yi escaped. β
"Tut-tutγγγγγγ I'm really a shit brother of the straw bag, I can't kill you like this?!" The young man frowned, rang the bell, and instructed the eunuch who hurried over with broken steps: "Call Li Xian to come over, I want to ask about the funeral of Shunyi, in addition, let the purple guard check the assassination of Shunyi's grandson, and assassinate the court officials in broad daylight, is my world so chaotic now!" After a pause, the young man slammed the imperial case, "Bring a word to Qi Wangcheng, if you can't find out, go back to farming!"
Xiao Guizi's heart was pounding, he had played with the emperor since he was a child, and in the past six months, he was almost out of breath because of his domineering and majesty, or was he not the material to be a big eunuch at all?

A beautiful valley in the southwest border, the silver-white stream from the knife-like steep cliff straight down out of thin air, into the valley bottom of the unfathomable pool, around the pool, everywhere paved with exotic flowers and plants, sometimes there are all kinds of rare small beasts in the mountain forest path frolicking, a pure mountain stone made of two-storey small building abruptly stands on the steep cliff wall, it is the season when the mountain flowers are blooming.
In a small pavilion near the cliff, an old man with a clear appearance stands by the railing, behind him, two graceful little ladies one carries a pot, one holds wine, the red sleeves add fragrance, people are more fancy than fancy people, drink wine in a cup, and the gentle township is a hero's mound. The sky was full of flowers and fruits, and the girl smiled as pleasantly as a silver bell, but the old man sighed softly alone, "Another old fellow has gone! It's nothing more than a rabbit dead and a dog cooking, and a bird hiding from a bow! But this food is too ugly, isn't it?"
The old man took a sip of wine and leaned on the silky legs of Mei Ji beside him, motionless for a long time, as if asleep.

Out of Yangguan in the west, Yumen Mansion governs. The first majestic city in the northwest lives up to its reputation on the edge of Yongzhen, and its towering walls wind between the mountains, and even the adjacent ravines and cloud-breaking peaks cannot hide its dazzling style.
The steep city walls as high as dozens of zhang are all built by collecting huge rocks on the top of the mountain, and the difficulty of flying birds is definitely the nightmare of every ill-intentioned alien hero.
On the left side of the west gate of Yumen City, the county government and the government office are co-located. Adhering to the spirit of the Son of Heaven guarding the gate of the country and the death of pure ministers, as an important border city facing the Qiang, Yi and Di tribes, there is no inner city, and the Yumen Mansion is built on the side of the west city gate, and the government arrives at the city gate to work, and the day of the city is broken, that is, the time of martyrdom.
The four major cavalry of the Yanxia Dynasty belong to the four major generals, among them, the Hejian Iron Cavalry belongs to the royal family, and after the founding of the country, it is organized into the three guards of the forbidden army;
There was a sound of horses' hooves like thunder on the long street of bluestone, and the idlers in the streets and alleys stretched out their heads to look lively, Daxia has been peaceful for a long time, and the days of the border city of Yumen are idle and relaxed, since several huge thieves in Xiyi Mountain were wiped out by the iron-blooded army in one fell swoop, it has been several years since I have seen this big scene of iron horses galloping back and forth.
More than 30 horsemen galloped through the whirlwind from the south gate of the cave, horses like the wind, people like dragons, after a long journey of more than 1,000 miles, the knights were all slightly windy and frosty, but they were all silent and stoic.
The middle door of the government is wide open, the two slippery officials come out, the two people in the front row hold the giant gong, knock the earth-shattering sound, all kinds of flags are displayed, under the high steps, densely lined up in several teams, the attachΓ© of the Yumen Mansion embraces Yun Tongzhi with a brocade robe and jade belt, stretches his neck and looks in the direction of the city gate.
"Phew!" dozens of galloping horses let out a long neighing sound of "sigh and rhythm", and after three breaths, all the galloping horses stopped their hooves, and the knights turned over and dismounted, and their movements were uniform, provoking the scattered cheers of the idlers on the roadside.
In the greeting team, under the banner of the word "Ling" in the middle, a long-bodied and jade-like, sword-eyed, and extravagant noble son frowned slightly, is the third brother showing who is under the horse?
The handsome eldest brother with great strength frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction, "I'm not short, my body is a little thinner, and there are delicious foods and drinks in the Hou Mansion, how did I raise you into a bean sprout?"
"Big brother, little brother is here, but he is chasing ducks to the shelves, everything depends on your help!" Wu Yi first sent a high hat, with dates or not, and then talked about it.
"Even if it's a mistake, this Jade Gate Order is yours. Let's talk about it first, after today's reception, I'll help you watch it from the Iron Army, and don't bother me with anything else. Wu Fenglei said with a handsome face that seemed to be smiling, and said with a little teasing.
The guards were all veterans who had come to Yumen to fight, and they greeted the soldiers accompanying the government in a loud voice, and ordered to feed the horses and settle the armor and weapons as if they were returning to their own compound.
Wu Xiaopeng followed Wu Yi, and also walked towards the banquet hall of the government office, the screen that divided the small hall in the past has been removed, and a stage is not very high arranged in front of it, the stage is full of flowers, the curtain is fluttering, along the stage down, there are two or three round tables scattered and placed, and more than ten round tables are neatly placed in the hall farther away, at first glance it is the seat of the military and political officials belonging to the Yumen, and the waiters have already shuttled between the tables, and the wine and food are presented like flowing water. There was a significantly larger dining table near the stage, and on the side of the table, there was a row of young girls with good faces and delicate postures.
In the courtyard outside the banquet room, some guests who had come to the banquet and the servants who had been sent had already gathered. I could only hear a few poor people dressed as government officials muttering together, "I heard that this master is a troublemaker, specializing in stupid things, not serious things." "Isn't it? Our Yumen Mansion should be lively now, it is said that the top sent him to be the Yumen Order, but it shouldn't be, if the right and wrong of our five clans are based on this young master's temperament, then don't you poke out a big basket?" "Silence! Yushi Zhou's black face is over there, you want to find death and don't bother us!"
