In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight quietly crossed the majestic city wall and shook a piece of brilliance on the dragon chair of the Jinluan Palace. The top point says,.. In the early dynasties, it was already a culture, a culture that symbolized the emperor's diligence. But in fact, successive emperors understood that this form was useless. A truly diligent emperor can handle government affairs even in the middle of the night, on the contrary, a faint emperor is just a place to sleep even if he goes to court every day.

"Yawn! Something to start and nothing to retreat! ”

The emperor is not in a good mood today, because he had a nightmare yesterday in Peony's **, and he dreamed that Peony suddenly picked up a dagger and stabbed him! So this should obviously be the slogan shouted by the eunuch and read it out by himself.

Yu Huatian, who was waiting on the side, smiled bitterly and said to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in the hall: "Don't be stunned, adults. ”

As soon as these words came out, many ministers came to their senses from their surprise, and the Taifu and the Eighth Prince on the side looked at each other and shook their heads, seeing a little helplessness in each other's eyes. In the end, they are all young officials who have recently taken office, and the emperor's occasional convulsions have made them lose their temper for so long! It seems that there will be some training in the future.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a plan to play."

The emperor glanced at it and said, "What is the matter with Gonggong Cao?" ”

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said: "Yesterday, Zhuge Shenhou and the God Hunter were out to work, and the security force in the capital was inevitably empty. My East Factory and West Factory and Jinyi Guard are still too busy to protect the security of the capital, and they are even more out of reach for frequent big cases. Weichen asked the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to cause security pressure! ”

Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows, clasped his hands to his chest and looked at the ministers below and said, "Do you have a good candidate for Aiqing?" ”

The ministers looked at it and were speechless for a while, the most taboo thing for the emperors of all dynasties was to form a party for personal gain. Who is who, this can be seen as long as you open your mouth once in the court. So this first opportunity is often important. It's just a temporary substitute opportunity. You can't commit your own faction.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, the emperor looked at Cao Zhengchun again, "Is there a candidate for Father-in-law Cao?" ”

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly replied: "Weichen recommends one person, the eighth prince has always been responsible for leading the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he has a lot of knowledge of the style of people in the rivers and lakes. Most of the cases in charge of the Shenhou Mansion and the Six Gates involve people in the rivers and lakes, so Wei Chen thinks that the Eighth Prince is a suitable candidate. ”

"Oh? Uncle Eight? The emperor looked at the Eighth Prince, his eyes full of inquiry and hesitation.

Seeing this, the eighth prince hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the ministers are not as discerning as the gods and Zhuge gods, they must do their best. Don't disappoint the emperor. ”

"What do you think?" The emperor asked again, and then several new officials echoed it.

The emperor nodded and said, "The Eighth Emperor Uncle has already worked hard to lead the affairs of the rivers and lakes, how can I bear to let him work harder?" Forget it, I'll go back and think about it for a while. He waved his hand to the Eighth Prince and Cao Zhengchun.

Seeing this, the two retreated, and there was no change in their faces, "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat!" Yu Huatian shouted again.

At this time, the newly appointed secretary of the military department stood up and said: "Your Majesty, General Li Ruohaili, who guards the border pass, sent a document yesterday, and he has been guarding the border pass for a long time, and he can return to the court to report on his work after the expiration of his term. ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this. "General Li? But General Li, who made a contribution in the battle against the Youquan Blood Demon? ”

"Exactly!"

The emperor looked up, "Hmm." I want to make a decree about rewarding meritorious deeds, and that's fine. Then let's wait for him to return to Beijing and enjoy it together, I'm ready! ”

The military department Shangshu retreated according to his words, but at this time, the emperor suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, how is the martial arts of this powerful general, and the strategy of managing the army can be regarded as excellent?" ”

The military department Shangshu stood up again: "Weichen has not seen such a strong general when he recently took office, but according to the veteran generals in the army, his martial arts are excellent, he loves soldiers like children, and he is a rare member of the army!" ”

"Oh? Well, in that case, pass on my will, and after General Li returns to Beijing, he will temporarily take over the position of commander of the Shenhou Mansion and the Six Gates. The emperor waved his big hand and laughed, and the ministers below were speechless when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but look at the eyes of the eighth prince a little strangely.

The sun gradually climbed higher, and this time the early dynasty was over, and all the ministers of the Jinluan Hall dispersed, Shangguan Haitang and Guihai caught up with the eighth prince in a few steps, "Father-in-law, the emperor seems to be a little hostile to you?" "Shangguan Haitang's sixth sense as a woman has obviously been fulfilled again, this has nothing to do with whether a minister is favored by the emperor or not, it is simply that kind of distrust and prejudice!

The eighth prince frowned slightly, and scolded: "The emperor cares about his father's body, don't speculate!" Even if he doesn't believe me, he is still the emperor, and it is not your turn to be presumptuous! ”

Shangguan Haitang lowered his head in embarrassment, aggrieved tears swirled in his eyes, and Guihai was distressed when he saw it. The eighth prince sighed, "Don't talk like this in the future." Then he left a little lonely, but Shangguan Haitang and Guihai didn't see the fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"You...... You...... You don't, you're not crying? Guihai Yidao just wanted to persuade clumsily, but found that Shangguan Haitang suddenly raised his head and frowned at the back of the eighth prince.

"You lied to your father-in-law?" Guihai looked at her with a smile and said.

"Who's? Girls are originally made of water, so what's the problem with crying twice once in a while! Shangguan Haitang ** said.

"Then why are you ......" Guihai was not finished, but he saw Shangguan Haitang looking at the distant back with some sadness, "When I think he is the sky, he is the most respectable person in the world!" But as I get older, it seems that some things are becoming more and more confusing to me. ”

"What do you mean?" Guihai looked at her with some puzzlement, and at this moment, he felt that this girl was so far away from him.

Shangguan Haitang paused and said, "The emperor is a very good person!" ”

Gui Hai's expression instantly became awkward, "You...... Are you in love with the emperor? ”

Shangguan Haitang was immediately deflated when he heard this: "Can your thoughts not be so simple?" Is it true that the emperor is a good person and likes him? ”

Guihai snorted absently, and returned to his previous cold face, "It's because your thoughts are too complicated." ”

Shangguan Haitang sneered: "So you practice knives, and you like to cut everything neatly." ”

Shangguan Haitang was speechless when he saw it. He took his hand and said, "Let's go." Today is the day when the elder brother returns from Fuso. We went for a drink together. Running out together, Guihai looked at the jade hand that grabbed his cuff and was a little sluggish for a while.

In the Imperial Garden, the emperor took a sip of the teacup, and Shao Yu, who was sitting opposite him, said: "What you have done today is a little obvious above the early dynasty." ”

"I know, but I think you've read the news that has been passed on, most of Mongolia has fallen, and it won't be long before it's Liao's turn! Only now do I understand why they didn't do it before, they were waiting. Waiting for an opportunity to suppress people with the general trend, when the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, even if I have a wise plan, it will be difficult to turn things upside down! The emperor put down the teacup and his face was a little gloomy.

Shao Yu continued: "So you want to tell the Eighth Princes that you already know their identities in a way that scares the snakes, so as to force them to comply in advance!" ”

The emperor was silent for a long time, "I did have this idea before, but I immediately understood that this kind of idea is unrealistic. I couldn't see it before, but now it is basically certain that neither the Eighth Emperor Uncle nor Cao Zhengchun is dominant in this matter. The real mastermind behind the scenes is someone else, that is, they have to look at the face of that master. Only when he thinks the time is ripe is the time for a real attack. ”

"Then why did you veto Cao Zhengchun's proposal?"

"Neither Uncle Eight Emperor nor Cao Zhengchun are stupid. They'd probably have already judged from the clues that I'm suspicious of them. So I have to show it, and I think it's a sign of weakness! The emperor sighed helplessly.

Shao Yu nodded, "Then why did you give Li Ruohai the position of the leader of the Shenhou Mansion and the Six Gates?" ”

The emperor snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "They are constantly gathering people, thinking that I don't know, but they are too strong." The military department is the person of the eighth prince! Although they were very secretive, they were still found. I have reason to believe that Li Ruohai, who was recalled by the Ministry of War, is also their person! In this case, instead of letting him act at will in the capital, it is better to put it in the Shenhou Mansion and the six gates, so that it can also be easily monitored! ”

Shao Yu swallowed the tea in the teacup and sighed: "You people, it's really boring to intrigue, so I hate to make friends with you emperors!" ”

The emperor smiled indifferently, "How long will it take for them to come back?" ”

"What? It's only been two days since I saw him, and I miss him! Shao Yu laughed.

The emperor shook his head, "I just think that the enemy's power is huge, and if it lacks sharp combat power, it is likely to suffer!" ”

"Don't worry, with that person's strength, I can barely deal with it for the time being, so if I can't do it, I'll start the last resort!" Shaoyu was rarely solemn, but the method given was a little unreliable.

"I hope so, but I still can't believe that King Miao has already speculated things to this point before anything is clear! Is his luck entirely guessing? Or is it really like a god? What the hell did he grow up eating! There was some jealousy in the emperor's words.

Shao Yu touched his chin amusedly, "In troubled times, there are always demons that plague the world, but troubled times are also an era of heroes. Absolute force, superior intelligence! Troubled times are their stage, on the contrary, we old guys are the ones who should really quit! ”

"It's as if I can't bear it. I took advantage of Ling Xiao's incident to send Zhuge Zhengme and the God Catcher out, and the strength on the surface is only the Baolong clan. At the critical moment, you can't be cowardly! The emperor said with a glare.

Shao Yu pursed his lips, "I have my responsibility, it is impossible for me to protect you alone when the catastrophe comes." But I think the Baolong clan is very trustworthy. Fengyun's strength has improved by leaps and bounds since eating Long Yuan, Dongfang Sheng has also passed the most difficult level after playing with his life, although Shen Fu prefers to do business, but stabilizing the situation is a good hand, as for the series of zero hair, hehe, you can entrust it with a heavy responsibility! ”

"I don't need you to understand this, so I basically don't let them make a move recently, because I'm afraid of ** their strength. But if the enemy comes to a fairy-level master, I'm afraid they won't be enough to see! ”

"Then let's start the killer weapon, even if the immortal-level master can't win, he can guarantee that he is invincible!" Shao Yu shrugged his shoulders absently.

"Alas, this passive feeling is really unpleasant, and it is not easy to stand up to the Ji family. Now there is another wave of people! Am I a masochistic life? He stood up and walked out.

"Why are you going?"

"Go find Peony to vent your fire!" The emperor didn't wave his head back, waved his hand and left.

Seeing this, Shao Yu shook his head and sighed: "I know that there is a problem and I can't stop!" Feelings. What a fucking thing! ”

"Hey. You know? I feel the malice in this world! Ling Xiao drooped his shoulders and walked forward slowly.

"Hehe, why is that?" Buddha Yin wiped his sweat a little embarrassed.

Ling Xiao raised his arm and pointed casually in all directions, "Who told me that Wuzhi Mountain is easy to find?" ”

The undulating barren mountains were connected in a large area within the line of sight, and the wind and sand mixed with the dry air slapped the face, and even with the veil, you could still feel the pain.

In front of me, everything was dusk, and I don't know how long it had been dry here, but it was obviously located in the south, not far from the sea. But this barren scene is like being in the desert of the West.

Wuzhi Mountain, you can know the shape of the place by listening to the name, but only when you arrive will you know that there are not only five fingers here, but dozens of fingers!

"Can you tell me, with so many undulating hills, which five of them are connected into one that is considered a five-finger mountain?" Ling Xiao sat on the ground depressed.

Buddha Yin scratched his bald head in annoyance, and was speechless for a while, and everyone had to sit on the ground to find another way.

At Ling Xiao's request, they sped up their journey. It took at least five days to arrive at a place that made these masters stunned and shrunk to three days. It's just that everyone was dumbfounded after arriving, the terrain here is too complicated! Everyone knows that what they are looking for is an old temple and Buddha statues. But even if you take to the sky, your view will be obscured by the mountains. Even if you scatter the search, it will take at least half a month by the time everyone finishes the carpet search!

Ling Xiao was a newlywed Yan'er, but he didn't have time to waste with these guys, and he hated Buddha Yin for a while.

Xu Xian's face was serious, and he looked around and affirmed: "The climate here is so abnormal, it can basically be determined, the land is not far from here, but the place is hidden." If you can find it at random, you won't hide it for so long! ”

Ling Xiao rolled her eyes when she heard this, "Nonsense! Of course, such a special place must be carefully hidden, but Fahai's bald donkey doesn't tell you how to enter! Are you kidding me? If you can't find it tomorrow, I won't wait! ”

"When you're here, you're almost the last trembling, do you want to pick and choose?" Buddha Yin couldn't laugh or cry.

"! You don't even know where the entrance is, you dare to swing us over and adventure, who knows if there is danger in Wuzhi Mountain? What kind of heart do you have? He took out the horns of the ox and knocked them on the stone, "And you, how can you be virtuous with the jade pendant with long eyebrows?" If you don't knock it, you won't come out, will you? ”

A red light swished out of the horns, and the corners of the red child's mouth twitched: "It's useless for you to call me out, except for my father, neither my mother nor I have ever been to Wuzhi Mountain." This was the place of my uncle's suffering, so how could we be here? ”

"I've never been there, I've heard of it." Ling Xiao asked unrelentingly.

When the red boy heard this, he lowered his head and remembered something: "It's strange to get up, it is said that this five-fingered mountain is transformed by the Buddha's palm, full of compassionate power and infinite vitality!" It should never have been such a desolate sight. He looked at the endless barren mountains around him.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts moved, and Xu Xian said: "In this way, the reason that caused the loss of vitality in Wuzhi Mountain is still working?" ”

"Can we find out about that, then?" The sloppy one who followed.

"How? By the way, aren't you a mountain god? What are your thoughts on this place? Ling Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked at Ning Caichen.

Ning Caichen scratched his cheeks in embarrassment, "According to my understanding of mountains, the older the mountain range, the more aura there is, and the easier it is to give birth to souls. And as a mountain, it is difficult to be desolate even if the climate is bad. Because the mountain can absorb the aura from the earth's veins to constantly repair itself, the so-called natural cultivation is this truth. But the mountains here are different, all its aura seems to have been destroyed, no, even the leylines have been destroyed! ”

"Yours is to destroy rather than block?" Ling Xiao interrupted suddenly.

"That's right, it's destruction, I can't absorb any aura from the ground here, all I have is endless death!" Ning Cai shuddered.

Ling Xiao suddenly stood up when he heard this, closed his eyes and felt with his heart, and everyone waited silently when they saw him like this.

The dry sand and dust could not stop Ling Xiao's perception, and a huge and magnificent aura enveloped the entire sky. In Ling Xiao's perception, this aura was red, like blood. Desolate, ancient, and eternal, but the endless killing machine made Ling Xiao, a person who had taken the path of killing, feel frightened!

Everyone watched Ling Xiao slowly walking forward, although Ling Xiao closed his eyes, but he was unswervingly avoiding stones and ditches during the journey. Because in Ling Xiao's perception, killing machines were everywhere, and these killing machines destroyed all the aura, but there was only one exception. There, in the middle of the mountains, a green light full of life could not be extinguished, and even a gold star flashed in the green light!

Everyone walked forward behind Ling Xiao, the more they walked, the more frightened they became, although it was still that dim color, it was still the kind of endless mountain rocks, but what greeted them was moist air!

"Shhh Finally, everyone exclaimed in unison, Ling Xiao opened his eyes, this is a huge lake, and on the shore of the lake is a desolate and dilapidated old temple! (
