Chapter 866: The Collapse of the Golden Causeway
In the spring of March, a hundred flowers compete for beauty, outside the main hall of Zixiao Palace, a green peach is flourishing, blooming like clouds.
It's just that those who have the leisure to appreciate it don't have the opportunity to come outside this hall, and those who can come and go here at will don't have the leisure to enjoy it.
Hu Xianxian and Cheng Haofeng have long been in the same mind, and they don't need to say or do anything to know what the other party means, how can they not hear that Cheng Haofeng's answer is not sincere? Just don't want to be suspicious.
She believes that Cheng Haofeng puts her at the tip of her heart, but she doesn't believe that Cheng Haofeng will put the fortunes of the French Dynasty in an important position in her heart, she thinks that she does not have the great benevolence and righteousness of the world in her heart, but if Cheng Haofeng does not take the French Dynasty to heart, she will have a very heavy sense of guilt.
"Hu Xianxian, you are also born with a wise root, your cultivation is profound, and you are also a person who has been reincarnated for ten generations, and you can't even see through the rise and fall of the country and the change of dynasties." Duan Mengrou was originally standing, and when she said this, she sat down elegantly, and she seemed to be very disdainful of Hu Xianxian.
Hu Xianxian didn't care what her attitude was, she only stared at Cheng Haofeng.
"Xianxian, the emperor is not only the son of the French Dynasty, but also the doppelganger of my best friend, I will not let him be the king of the dead country." Cheng Haofeng assured Hu Xianxian that he would not ignore the survival of the French Dynasty.
Hu Xianxian didn't answer, Duan Mengrou pursed her lips and smiled, "Cheng Haofeng, why don't you dare to directly admit that everything you did was for your own purposes, and you didn't care about the future of the country at all?" You don't care about other people's lives and deaths. No matter whether it is a country or a sect, for cultivators with long lives, it is just a contest in a game, and as for the life and death of those mortals, it is even less important to us. "
Cheng Haofeng silently turned his head sideways, as if he was very tired of what Duan Mengrou said, and as if he didn't dare to face Hu Xianxian.
"How can the life and death of a mortal not matter? Even if you don't care about the health of your family and the rise and fall of the country, what avenue can you build? Hu Xianxian roared at Duan Mengrou, roaring fiercely, but his heart was a little empty.
Duan Mengrou sneered a few times: "Blame me for making a mistake in my calculations, so that you caught the handle in the matter of raising Shui Wuji, and you won this matter!" But this is not the final result, it depends on who has the last laugh, and that is the real winner. "
Hu Xianxian and Cheng Haofeng were silent, and they went out with a gloomy face without saying goodbye, Shui Miaoxu and Shui Wuxian had already left one step ahead of them, and the two of them flew in the clouds, both holding back a lot of things to say, but they didn't know how to say it.
When he arrived outside the idle cloud view and fell to the ground, Cheng Haofeng solemnly said to Hu Xianxian as if he had made a lot of determination: "You have to remember that no matter what I do, I have never thought of disappointing you." "
Hu Xianxian exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath in his heart, and said in a low voice: "May you live up to me, and you will not live up to yourself." "
The two looked at each other with affection, and there were many complex emotions in addition to affection, but they didn't say anything, and walked into the fairy garden side by side.
Shui Wuxian and Shui Miaoxu have met Hang Wuyi and Tang Cai'er, and Hu Xianxian officially introduced them to each other, but Shui Miaoxu has always seemed a little uncomfortable.
Hu Xianxian said softly: "If the chief of the water path is not used to living here, you can go to your brother-in-law to return to the head of the road, but if you are not willing to part with Wuji, I also welcome you to live here with peace of mind." Don't be restrained, if you want, I'd like to ask you to take care of these little naughty things for me. "
Hearing this, Hang Wuyi and the three little girls all looked at Shui Miaoxu expectantly, feeling that they sincerely wanted to stay, Shui Miaoxu said: "I'd better live with you first, and when Wuxian is older, I will go to my brother." "
After that, Shui Wuxian and Shui Miaoxu first familiarized themselves with the environment, recuperated for two days, and held a formal apprenticeship ceremony.
Although Cheng Haofeng no longer cares about military and political affairs, and even cares about the affairs of various sects, he still pays attention to the changes in the situation in the world.
Since March, the city of Monna has begun to expel the French and Korean merchants, and there is a great tendency to oppose the French and the DPRK, and even go to war. Maybe Zacuo has recovered a lot after recuperating and recuperating, and he will reappear in the rivers and lakes and set off another storm.
The pirates from all over the coastal area and the small forces along the coast of Dongying have been subdued by Kuai Mori Xiong, who did not use his real name and called himself "Ah Xiong", but his forces called him "Xiongwang". With Lei Peng's secret support, his power is so great that even the Dongying Korean and Chinese armies are a little jealous.
Manraka and Siam and the small countries of the South China Sea were constantly fighting, and the defeated rogues plundered everywhere, involving Tianzhu as well.
Later, Siam, Tianzhu and Fanbang fought fiercely, Manchuria was short of domestic materials, and the loss of the east and west was large, so they were unable to fight anymore and withdrew from the war.
The war-torn Manraka land is devastated, and the people's livelihood is withering everywhere, and the fugitive princess Bao Yuan wants to take advantage of the usurping puppet emperor to lead the troops back to Manraka, regain the throne, and assist her younger brother in revitalizing the homeland.
Although Mai Taha still refused to accept Bao Yuan's affection, because Bao Yuan was deeply in love and helped him repeatedly, he was willing to use all the property of the Mai family to support Bao Yuan to recruit troops.
Cheng Haofeng also asked the border departments to secretly help Bao Yuan, and asked Lei to transfer Zheng Huiliao to the border city to assist Lu Laizun and others to defend it, in fact, Zheng Huiliao made up and led people to escort Bao Yuan back to Manchuria.
There were turmoil everywhere, and Cheng Haofeng left Beijing in the name of traveling the world to assign various affairs.
After Cheng Haofeng went out, Hu Xianxian, Hang Wuyi, Shui Wuji, and Tang Cai'er played quickly and turned Xianyunguan over one by one.
Even Shui Miaoxu laughed every day because of their nonsense, and invited the little Taoist aunts and Zhang Ruijuan who came to Bixi Palace, including Jiu'er, to eat, drink and jump together.
Cha'er looked at them with hatred and itched teeth, and had to bend in front of Hu Xianxian and try to mingle with them.
There are no major wars for the time being, and when Hu Yong first returned home to visit relatives, Ge Shumei is living well, and her relationship with Hu Xianxian's sister-in-law is also getting better.
While Hu Xianxian and Hu Yonggang were both enjoying peace, Zheng Tianba's subordinates stationed on the outskirts of the capital clashed with the headquarters of the Langzhou Xiaoqi Battalion.
On the sixth day of the first month of April, according to the order, Zheng Tianba asked the old department of Panlongzhai and the Yuezhou ruffian soldiers to send military supplies to the Langzhou Xiaocai camp, the two places are not far apart, and the things to do are simple, Zheng Tianba casually ordered to go down, without supervision.
Because Zheng retired from Liao and went to Manchuria, Zheng Tianba had a rough personality, and he did not strictly control the brothers who fought in the blood, and these soldiers and ruffians had all kinds of bad habits and evil deeds.
The soldiers were tired of the lonely journey, so they not only brought wine and meat to eat and drink all the way, but also brought two courtesans to sing songs to relieve their boredom.
After arriving at the Langzhou Xiaocai Battalion, the supplies were distributed in an orderly manner, and they were shouting and screaming, urging the soldiers to hurry up and not delay their time to play.
The officers and men in the cavalry battalion are all regular forbidden troops, how can they tolerate the unpopular van army to show off their might in front of them?
"Yelling what? You should also set a rule and line up for the delivery of supplies, how can you do things quickly and well without preparing first? A cavalry battalion soldier accused.
A soldier ruffian glared and threw away the military uniform in his hand, and pushed the soldier violently, "Dare to teach Lao Tzu what to do?" When Lao Tzu went into battle to kill the enemy, you were still wearing open crotch pants! ”
Another big man who looked to be the small captain of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion rushed out, watching the soldiers bully his brothers, how could he bear this breath?
The right fist went straight out, and the big man hit the ruffian in the chest, and his left leg stretched out at the same time, causing the ruffian to fall into the mud.
"Good! Well played! The soldiers of the cavalry battalion applauded, and the ruffians were annoyed and ashamed, and drew their swords at each other.
"You want to use force?" The big man grabbed it with his backhand, and with the iron gun in his hand, "Hmph, let you see the majesty of the tiger and wolf division!" It also makes you understand that the barracks are to protect the family and defend the country, not to drink and prostitute! ”
The broadsword was swung out, bringing a strong wind howling; The iron spear swept away, spreading a fierce and murderous aura.
The two of them fought evenly on top and bottom, and some of the people watching the battle said that the knife technique was more practical, and the knife was deadly; Some say that the marksmanship is more exquisite, skillful and ingenious.
During the argument, a soldier of the cavalry battalion said with full anger: "You rabble are rabble, how can our disciplined and well-trained forbidden army have strong combat effectiveness?" ”
Another ruffian immediately raised his voice and retorted: "You look very powerful, the honor guard is almost the same, you still have to be able to work hard and be ruthless to win the battle when you really go to the battlefield!" ”
The two of them didn't take advantage of the tricks, they started fighting, and the fighting ones added a pair, and soon, the soldiers and a team of elite divisions under Hu Yonggang got into a scuffle.
At that time, seeing that it was about to cause a catastrophe in the army, the broken army iron guard assigned under the name of Hu Xianxian flew out of the sky flying immortals, shot arrows in the air and injured several people who fought the most fiercely, and shouted for the two sides to stop fighting, and invited the prestige generals to come as quickly as possible to quell the chaos.
On the night after the accident, the news reached Beijing, and Lei Mad immediately ordered that all the soldiers involved in the brawl be beaten with 30 military sticks, and then expelled the person who took the lead in stirring up trouble, and asked the guards around him to tie Zheng Tianba to the torture room of the military department and lock him up.
Because Zheng Tianba was knighted for his military merits, Lei Mad and Huo Tu couldn't deal with it by themselves, and they had to go to the emperor for instructions.
Of course, Zheng Tianba's lack of strict governance of the army is wrong, Hu Xianxian and they did not intercede, the emperor only made suggestions on the affairs of the army, and would not intervene too much, and it would be dealt with by Lei Mad and they also believed that it would be handled fairly.
On the afternoon of the eighth day of the first month of April, news suddenly came that the emperor personally ordered Jin Longwei to go to the torture room of the military department to arrest Zheng Tianba and transfer him to the heavenly prison, and he was on death row where the felons who were beheaded and executed.
Hu Xianxian stood stunned for a long time, Zheng Tianba should be punished, and he had already mentioned to Cheng Haofeng that he wanted to control those old Panlongzhai who did not abide by military discipline and the ruffians who were temporarily recruited by Yuezhou, but why was it so serious that Zheng Tianba should be killed?
After all, Zheng Tianba did not instruct or participate in the trouble, he was the chief general of the first army, and it was impossible to carefully manage some small chores handled by small soldiers, it was difficult for him to predict that he would cause a big disaster because of small things, and it was a severe punishment to cut him off his title and expel him from the army, so why should he die?
After Zheng Tianba was recruited by the imperial court in the sixth year of Deyuan, he was excluded and suppressed for five years in the eleventh year of Deyuan. Waiting for Han Zexi to ascend the throne, he was reused because of his meritorious service from the dragon.
Han Zexi changed his name to Jiaxiang in the second year of his accession to the throne, from the first year of Jiaxiang to the present Jiaxiang for three years, Zheng Tianba fought in the south and the north in three years, and accumulated military merits with flesh and blood.
The brawl in the army should be severely punished, but Zheng Tianba's crime is not to death, Hu Xianxian speculated with a chill: Jiaxiang Emperor Han Zexi has been on the throne for more than three years, and the throne is gradually stable.
