Murong Ke's Rui Wangfu has always been heavily defended, with two lines of defense, bright and dark guards, and an iron bucket of care.

In the past five years, there are not a few people who want to insert eyeliner or find out the news, but those who dare to show their heads have never returned.

Recently, the old emperor Xia Xian Emperor begged the immortals to worship the Buddha, and he may have had an epiphany, showing that he wanted to be kind to Murong Ke.

came out of his mouth and said that he would give Murong Ke a fief and let him leave the capital.

The crown prince Murong Yan was worried, he was afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain, and was trying his best to prevent Emperor Xia Xian from giving an order.

And Murong Kele pushed the boat down the river, deliberately making the move in the house imminent, revealing flaws in the panic.

Today's banquet is even more fanfare, and the door of the house is open.

At the same time, various gods and goddesses were invited, and there was no strict limit on the number of people they could follow.

This gives people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Two forces quickly probed Hu Zhenshan's place of detention, and one wave was the prince's people that Murong Ke had already predicted. And the other wave is the person of Wang Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Although this Wang Zhen is a high-ranking official and has a high position, he has always been a low-key and clumsy figure, and he has never been a leader.

Disputes often occur in the court because of different political views, only this Wang Zhen can stay out of the matter and will not fall into the quagmire of any disputes.

Some officials were not accustomed to his style of acting, and sometimes deliberately ridiculed him for being a good official and a good person, but he was wise enough to protect himself and mud, and forced him to express his views.

At this time, he can always find the starting point of Emperor Xia Xian impartially, and go to Emperor Xia Xian's heart every sentence.

Therefore, Emperor Xia Xian thought that Wang Zhen was a minister of humerus who was worried about the country and the people, had a sense of the overall situation, and had a strategic height, which could be reused.

In fact, he's an old fox.

It is really intriguing that such a slippery person is also inextricably linked with the Black Shadow Army.

Murong Ke picked up the wine glass and slowly sipped boiled water, his mind already turning a thousand times.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, there are a total of three vassal kings of the opposite sex.

They are Ye Xiaotian, the ghost king of the southwest, Zhu Yi, the king of Yanbeiping, and Huo Tingdong, the king of the southeast.

The three vassal kings helped Emperor Xia Xian ascend to the throne, and they all had the merit of being a dragon. However, to this day, there is only one left, Huo Tingdong, the king of the southeast.

Zhu Yi, the king of Yanbeiping, died young, and Emperor Xia Xian took the opportunity to give his son a Beijing official and took back the fief.

Zhu Yi's son is still young, and he does not have his father's ability, and the Zhu family has a short time in Yanbei, so he has not cultivated his own power. Because he was powerless to fight, he had to obediently accept his fate.

Ye Xiaotian, the ghost king of the southwest, was originally the one with the most troops and the strongest strength among the three vassal kings. And he originally started in the southwest, which is full of his cronies and supporters, becoming his biggest rear and deepest foundation, and it is almost an unshakable existence.

However, sixteen years ago, the ghost king Ye Xiaotian was ordered to enter Beijing, and was detained by Emperor Xia Xian for a crime of plotting rebellion.

It is said that Emperor Xia Xian was originally afraid of Ye Xiaotian and wanted to eradicate him, but he was afraid of the instability of the southwest, so he did not dare to make a move.

But that time when the ghost king Ye Xiaotian entered Beijing, he actually reprimanded Emperor Xia Xian for being superstitious and Taoist, saying that Emperor Xia Xian's pursuit of immortality was extremely stupid, and he didn't give him any face.

Emperor Xia Xian's hatred rose from his heart, and evil was born in his guts, so he executed him on impulsive charges.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty exploded because of this incident, and the people were panicked.

They were so frightened that they couldn't sleep or sleep, and they were worried that the shadowless army that everyone in the world was afraid of would sweep the capital, just like they had helped Emperor Xia Xian ascend to the throne back then, and then pull him down and set off a bloody storm in this prosperous place.

Wang Zhen, the secretary of the military department, was not afraid of danger at the moment, showing the demeanor of a general. He wrote to Emperor Xia Xian, requesting that elite soldiers be sent to the southwest immediately to exterminate all of them before the Shadowless Army could react.

Five thousand vanguard cavalry and 300,000 brigades of men and horses, after half a month of gathering armaments, marched straight to the southwest.

When the army arrived, they were dumbfounded.

In this southwest, where is the army? Not a single soldier is missing, let alone the rumored shadowless army!

The mansion of the ghost king Ye Xiaotian has long been emptied, and all his family members and maids have disappeared from the world.

The golden talisman that can command the iron cavalry of the Shadowless Army is even more mysteriously missing.

It is rumored that the reason why the Shadowless Army is called the "Shadowless Army" is precisely because he is a secret training and secretly exists in the army.

When the soldier sign the order, the soldiers who turn into ordinary people will respond and rise up, so those who get the soldier can command the entire shadowless army.

The Shen family in Jiangnan, that is, the maiden family of Queen Shen, Murong Ke's mother, was kind to Ye Xiaotian back then.

Therefore, when Empress Shen asked Ye Xiaotian to send troops, he would not hesitate and finally help Emperor Xia Xian ascend to the throne.

After being named the ghost king of the southwest, the more than 200,000 elite soldiers under his command immediately turned into "shadowless" and disappeared into the world, and he, the ghost king, lived only the life of ordinary people.

Empress Shen was deposed and died in the harem. Emperor Xia Xian favored eunuchs and superstitious Taoists. The green smoke of the alchemy furnace in the palace drifted all day long, and even ran the water several times, almost burning most of the palace.

At this time, the ghost king Ye Xiaotian regretted it a little.

He took a fancy to his promise to the Shen family and achieved "he will respond to his needs every day", but this emperor who he personally supported is not a blessing for all the people at all!

He was unwilling and upright by nature, so he reprimanded Emperor Xia Xian in person.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the current Emperor Xia Xian was no longer the down-and-out prince who obeyed him, but was already an emperor who tasted power, and his hands were getting tighter and tighter, and he couldn't tolerate others' criticism.

……

Murong Yan was looking for the Shadowless Army's talisman, and what Murong Ke was looking for was also this Shadowless Army's talisman.

It was only in the process of secretly investigating that Murong Ke found out Hu Zhenshan, a key figure.

Hu Zhenshan's ostensible identity is that of a businessman wandering in the southwest.

He did business in various parts of the southwest, knew many local wealthy families, and also had a lot of contacts with people from all walks of life and all walks of life.

But in fact, his main purpose is to find the secret of the Shadowless Army.

Murong Ke investigated and determined that this Hu Zhenshan was not Emperor Xia Xian's person, but he didn't expect that Wang Zhen would have a close relationship with him.

Moreover, Hu Zhenshan is also inextricably linked with the conspiracy when West Wind City was besieged and three thousand soldiers died.

When Murong Ke got the clue of Hu Zhenshan, he was unprecedentedly excited. He believed that the time had come for the defenders of the city to be vindicated and to correct the name of the Huwei Army.

Who knows, that Hu Zhenshan is still loyal, he couldn't pry his mouth open, and let him bite his tongue and commit suicide.

But now, the form has been reversed.

Now that Wang Zhen's fox tail has been pulled out, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to pick up his fox skin!

Murong Ke picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The taste of boiled water was faint, and Murong Ke frowned slightly, a little unhappy.

The host has no will to be false and wronged, and the small actions that the guests should do have been done, and for a while, there is a kind of meaning that the guests and hosts are happy.

Everyone said goodbye one after another, only the Longxiang general Li Zhun still refused to leave.

Murong Ke pinched his brows, and said to Li Zhun from afar: "General Li, this king is a little tired, go down and rest first, Su Yu, you accompany General Li to drink more, didn't you have a good relationship before?" ”

Li Zhun's black face turned red, his neck was stalked, he flashed from behind the wine table, almost flew in front of Murong Ke, and knelt on the ground.

"General! Let your subordinates speak! In the battle of Zephyr City that day, his subordinates were imprisoned by the deputy general Zheng Xian, the bastard, so they couldn't support! It wasn't meant to be! Please be aware of the general! My loyalty to the general, the sun and the moon can be seen, how can I do such a wolf-hearted thing, general! Checkmate! ”

Li Zhun walked forward on his knees, like an abandoned resentful woman, prostrate at Murong Ke's feet, and the seven-foot man actually shed tears.

Of course, Murong Ke knew that what Li Zhun said was not a lie. After that, Li Zhun learned what happened, and he cut off the head of the deputy general in a fit of rage.

If it weren't for the fact that after Murong Ke returned to Beijing, there was no one in the frontier to really guard it, and he wantonly killed the officials of the imperial court, and the head on his neck would probably have fallen off.

Although Li Zhun is upright and impulsive, he is an out-and-out general. He is familiar with military books, is good at the art of war, has strong martial arts, and has superb equestrian skills.

Murong Ke felt that he was useful, but now, it was not the time.

He sighed: "I am not your general for a long time now. ”

"General!"

Murong Ke stretched out his hand to help Li Zhun up from the ground: "I know everything back then." I've never blamed you. ”

"But ......"

"I haven't seen you all these years, not because I dislike you, but because you go back and figure it out for yourself. Li Zhun, now I only ask you, do you still think I am your general? ”

Li Zhun was very disobedient with tears in his eyes and nodded violently.

"Okay, you go back now, and you are not allowed to inquire about the news in my house in the future, nor do you do anything close to me, let alone defend me on any occasion. One day, when I need you, I'll contact you. Do you understand? ”

Li Zhun Tongling's eyes widened, and a knowing smile flashed on his face: "I understand!" ”

The knot in his heart was opened, and he got a hint from Murong Ke, Brigadier General Li was in a good mood, his execution was very good, he made a salute, didn't say a word, and stepped out of the Rui Wangfu with meteor-like steps.

A gust of night wind passed through the hall, and Murong Ke was exacerbated by the cold air and coughed violently.

The wound on his chest cracked, and blood soaked his chest.

Su Yu hurriedly came over and hugged him.

The corners of Murong Ke's lips were stained with blood, and he said, "Go to the study." ”

When the masters in the main hall were gone, Steward Li outside the hall immediately arranged for someone to clean up.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, the left and right sides were cleaned up, and the thick carpet with crimson Persian patterns in the center was also polished as bright as new.

A little guy lingered in front of Steward Liu's eyes several times, and finally caught Steward Liu's attention.

He shuddered and knocked on the little guy's head: "What are you doing! There is something to say, there is a fart! ”

The little guy touched the top of his head and put on a flattering smile: "Master housekeeper, the little one just wants to ask, the one inside, what should I do?" ”

Steward Liu turned his head: "What one?" ”

"That's it, under the table."

Steward Liu came to the back of the main table under the guidance of the little maid, and only then did he find that the mute girl who was holding the wine for the prince at the banquet was lying on the front and sleeping soundly.

The face is like a peach blossom, a piece of pink, Qiong's nose is upturned, playful and vivid, and a shiny saliva hangs on the cheeks, which is even more delicate and cute.

Murong Ke took Ye Lan'er to participate in this kind of banquet, and in the eyes of the people in the mansion, it fully proved that the master valued this woman.

The first time the kitchen got the news, everyone was panicked, and the most expensive recipe had been designed, ready to make up for it tomorrow.

But now, seeing that Ye Lan'er, who was sleeping soundly, was still unattended by King Rui here, Steward Liu was a little puzzled.

For this beauty, does the prince like it or not?
