Chapter 3 The Prime Minister's Night Attack

The moonlight pours and the night breeze blows. The corridor in the Prime Minister's Mansion is roundabout, the pavilions are stacked, and the courtyard "Songfeng Pavilion" set up alone behind a purple bamboo forest is quiet and quiet. The two hidden guards on the east and west sides of the main hall were vigilant, and a young man in purple stood on the edge of the tower looking at the moon and pondering, and the stubborn unruly world in the day disappeared between his eyebrows. Xiao Han, who was standing solemnly on the side, looked out of the door from time to time.

"Chifang betrayed his trust, but the Qiongchuan Kingdom, which had been fighting for more than ten years, suddenly announced the end of the war and marriage!" Xiao Muchong frowned and muttered to himself, imagining the scene of the mighty delegation starting from Nanqiong, going down the plateau, passing through the river, and turning to the Wei River for three months before entering Huadu, "However, the Xuanxia royal family has no other princesses except for the five-year-old Nalan Jing." Whom to marry. Suddenly, "Ahh Even Xiao Han, who grew up with Xiao Muchong since childhood, is also a brother, a master and a servant, and a fellow disciple, he doesn't dare to gag when Xiao Muchong is thinking seriously. This cultivator is not afraid of death.

Xiao Muchong glanced at Xiu Fan, ignored him, Xiu Fan didn't care, took the jade flute in his right hand and knocked his left hand, casually walked to Xiao Muchong's case and continued to say without fear of death: "Eighty percent is that little boy calling the number one loser fool in Kyoto in a corner." Well, it must be so. ”

With a "ding" sound, the paper stick in Xiao Muchong's hand flew straight to Xiu Fan's forehead, Xiu Fan quickly took it back with the jade flute, but looking back, his throat had been choked to death, Xiao Mu raised his sword eyebrows angrily and said slowly: "It must be what?"

"Ahem, you, let go, I've found the clue to the drawing. Xiu Fan was almost suffocated, thinking about it, the rumors in the market are true, this person really met a nemesis today and was tricked, when did Huadu City have such a son, he really wanted to see it, "Ahem, in Hanbei Licheng." ”

Xiao Muchong withdrew. His eyes looked at a painting on the desk, which he drew based on the image of the picture on the surface of the white sun, and the painting was inscribed with two lines of poetry: "The sea is dry and icy, and the clouds are gloomy and bleak." "From Hanbei, it shouldn't be Old Man Ye's person. This old man is so afraid of the cold, how can he go to the icy and snowy Hanbei.

Four years ago, Lingnan Mountain. "Master, I don't want to go back to the capital, how comfortable it is in this mountain" Xiao Muchong rode on the tree and chewed wild fruits, drinking Old Man Ye's osmanthus brew.

"It's more comfortable for you to go back, you don't have to follow the rules, you don't have to enter the academy, you can fight, and the harder the trouble, the better. Old man Ye closed his eyes and stuck his beard, not like a joke.

"Eh, ah, will such a fuss make my dad angry to death?" Xiao Mu rushed to the interest, although the prime minister's father occasionally took the second brother who was not good at words to see him in the mountains, he didn't have any strong feelings for his father, but it was his father after all.

"As soon as he was the prime minister of the country, could he be angry with you, a hairy child? No matter how much trouble, the more fierce you are, the happier he will be" Ye Nanguang opened his eyes, put down his legs, walked to the tree, and gently jumped to sit next to the branch where Xiao Muchong was sitting, grabbed the wine jug and took a sip.

"Is this okay? Is he my own father?"

"It's not"

"Old man, can you be serious. ”

"Okay, let's be serious, until one day, someone scolds you in public that you are the number one loser and fool in the world, so you can stop messing around and go to Xishan to find your Uncle Xuanshi. ”

The first loser stupid, Old Man Ye, do you mean it really? Do you want to be so ruthless......

"You just need to do one small thing, write it in it, and read it back in Kyoto. It must be done. After Old Man Ye finished speaking, he drank wine and kicked Xiao Muchong off the trunk. "Remember, if Akabane doesn't fly, the fire clouds can't fly. Overnight departures without delay. The old man wandered awayβ€”alsoβ€”" The voice echoed in the valley, and Ye Nanguang had flown out of the mountains and forests, a hundred feet away.

Returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Xiao Han, Xiao Muchong opened the bag, there were only a few green beans in it, and there was a word engraved on each of the beans, and he placed the pillar incense for a long time before putting it out: "Outside the Taohui Temple, gain insight into the four seas, protect the loyal and righteous, and secretly build the Huoyun Army." Old man Ye, this... Is it just a small thing? So what is a big thing?

Looking back on Master Ye's words back then, yes, Master did say that he would go to Xishan when he heard that sentence. But the Huoyun Army has not yet been fully established, who is that kid, is it a coincidence? In view of the current situation, he should probably go to Xishan Academy. As the head of the first academy of the Huadu Royal Academy, what kind of judgment will he have.

Xiao Muchong's thoughts returned to Songfeng Pavilion, changing his serious and contemplative demeanor just now, his lips rose, and his eyes looked at Xiao Han and Xiu Fan excitedly. "Pack up your baggage and go to Xishan Academy with my master tomorrow to study. If you don't read it well, you will be punished. ”

"Academy, study?" the two looked at each other and asked in unison. Why did he suddenly become interested in reading, no, he still loves to read, and he reads in Songfeng Pavilion late at night. But why did I suddenly become interested in going to the academy to study? Still so excited. But no one answered this question, Xiao Muchong just gave an order. The person had already left the Songfeng Pavilion and went straight to Xiao Yihuai's study in the main hall of the main courtyard.

The candlelight in the study was flickering, and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng sat in front of the window every day to review the documents, and recently he was even more undressed, Xiao Muchong saw that the figure that fell on the paper window was much older.

He paused in front of the door and was about to knock. Suddenly heard the sound of eaves tiles, and then the sound of the secret guard fighting with the uninvited guest came from behind the roof and rockery, and at the same time, a dart attacked the figure in front of the window, Xiao Mu threw the jade pendant on his waist to block it with a "bell", turned over and grabbed a holly leaf in front of the door, waved his hand "whoosh", and suddenly the small leaf flew like a sharp blade to the black-clothed assassin on the opposite roof. An assassin was hit and rolled down the courtyard, the black-clothed man's dart on the roof shot at his companion's throat without hesitation, seeing the guards in the courtyard gathered, the flames were everywhere, and the black-clothed man's fingers blew a long whistle at the entrance, "Withdraw!" Several people fighting in the courtyard fought and retreated, and when they approached the black-clothed man on the roof, they suddenly sprinkled a bottle of black oil on the corpse on the ground and threw down a handful of phosphorus powder, and more than a dozen darts flew out as cover and jumped out of the courtyard wall, leaving only the corpse charred into ashes in the firelight.

The candlelight in the window flickered, and the figure at the desk was still there, as if nothing had happened. Xiao Muchong pushed the door in, Xiao Yihuai was indeed sitting in front of the window, but in addition to him, there was also Xiao Muyan standing on the side, more than a dozen guards who were stubborn.

Xiao Yihuai glanced at Xiao Muchong, and his voice kept moving: "You guys go down." ”

Xiao Muyan wanted to say something, but he was annoyed, disappointed and didn't dare to be angry, glanced at Xiao Muchong, and angrily left the house with the guards.

"What if you miss?" I said, old ...... Dad, how many lives do you have to play?" Without waiting for Xiao Yihuai to speak, he had already guessed a few points, and if he could sit in the prime minister's position for so long, his father would definitely not only review the case. Xiao Muchong picked up a piece of dim sum on the low table and sat crookedly on the log Taishi chair, not feeling guilty at all because his intrusion had disrupted his father's plan.

Ignoring that he had never been respectful and had no shape, Xiao Yihuai put down the brush and said: "You and your secret guard almost don't come to the Silent Hall, what is the matter today?"

"No, it's nothing, I just wanted to play tricks on Xiao Muyan. I heard that he was named the general of Zhengnan, is there no one in Xuanxia Kingdom?" Sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy, and the prime minister's father already knew that he had a secret guard, but those people must have a backhand if they miss a blow, so let's delay the matter of going to Xishan Academy for a few days. "I, the demon king of the mixed world, are swaggering everywhere and have many enemies, so I have to have a few secret guards to defend myself. ”

Xiao Yihuai nodded in disbelief, "It's good to know, I'll take you to escort a few people out of the city in a while, and find a safe place to settle down." Don't go wrong again. "Xiao Muyan was the general of Zhengnan, and he only learned about it this morning.

"Well," Xiao Muchong knew what his father was referring to, this was the second serious task that Xiao Yihuai assigned to him after returning to Beijing, the first time was to save a mother and son, but the mother died tragically in front of him, and there was a fetus in her womb. He still hasn't forgotten the child's eyes.

"Escort who?" Xiao Mu rushed up and played with a few ancient swords on the sword stand. After he rescued the child, he was placed in the Huoyun Army, and two years have passed, and his father has never asked about him.

"Hey, it's all with your father... After I fought the loyal ministers of the country together, you... Go with Xiao Tong. "When Marshal Mu returned to Beijing two years ago to report on his work, they attacked General Yuan, but there has been no movement so far, because they are afraid of what the old man has in his hands. But Your Majesty, the emperor today is no longer the young man who followed you to calm the world, Xiao Yihuai sighed with a tired face, walked to the side of the bed, looked at Xiao Muchong with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and waved his hand to signal him to withdraw.

After returning to Beijing, no matter how ridiculous he was and how he spended, his father was so angry that he vomited blood, but in fact, he provided all the supplies, and all the disasters could be dealt with in the aftermath. Only occasionally would he explain one or two things to him, and he would naturally treat them solemnly. As the door closed slightly, snoring sounded inside. In this way, the prime minister of Xuanxia State has no night banquets, no drums and songs, only the shape of the case.

Xiao Muchong picked up the dart under the pillar of the porch in front of the bed, who was it, would he come to assassinate him, or did he want to take something from the Prime Minister's Mansion?
