Chapter 36 Kyoto Hong's Family
Chi Wuyan struggled in vain for a while with extreme unwillingness to die, his originally strong body actually shrank by more than half, Xuan Yi looked at the faint starlight that appeared on his body surface again, and smiled helplessly, he felt that he had become the kind of villain in the novel who specializes in sucking people's skills and essence.
At the same time, under the guidance of a few defective Fairness Party members, Shu Gonggong and his entourage hurried to the city stronghold of the Fairness Society, hundreds of congregations were slaughtered by the angry masters of the Inner Palace, and the private armed forces that Fang Yu had worked hard to build in Rixuan City were almost uprooted, which can be described as heavy losses.
Xuanyi planned to leave this place after a short rest, and after completely absorbing Chi Wuyan's star power, his combat power had returned to the S level, but after returning to the realm of the grandmaster again, Xuanyi always felt that his state was obviously different from before, and it seemed that the exercises and internal force were still a little flawed from the previous realm of the unity of form and spirit, so the physique talent of the shape of the grandmaster did not appear again.
Forget it, if your strength is restored, you can quickly leave this place of right and wrong, and the hidden danger of your own internal strength will be solved in the future! Xuanyi secretly thought, with a little tiptoe, the whole person disappeared in place.
It has been a few months since the capture of Rixuan City, and then the coalition forces of the Black Mountain State and the Fair Society have accelerated the pace of attack non-stop, because the Ningdu Mansion Guard Corps was wiped out in the Rixuan City, and the forward battalion of the Royal Legion lacking troops and major generals was also unable to support hundreds of times the enemy, and the entire territory of Ningdu Mansion fell in less than half a month, and the six cities of Ningdu Mansion were divided between the Montenegrin State and the Fair Society, and each accounted for half, and millions of people were slaughtered and ravaged.
The strange thing is that the Daliang court seems to have forgotten the Ningdu Mansion, not only did it not send an army to recover the lost territory, but even the accountability of the holy decree document was not issued, and for a time the rebel forces rejoiced, and the rebellion of the Fair Society, which had been suppressed by the Daliang Prefecture, had once again gained momentum.
Daliang Kyoto Dragon City, the weather in autumn is gradually cooler, although the bustling crowd on the street is still as usual, but people's faces are a little less comfortable in the past, there are a few more wisps of sadness between the eyebrows, everyone is in a hurry and unwilling to speak, it seems to have lost the laughter of the past.
In addition to a few crazy scribes who are still wandering and fighting in restaurants, painting boats, green houses, casinos, racecourses and other extremely popular entertainment venues on weekdays are all full of doors, and business is extremely depressed.
The news of the joint capture of Ningdu Province by the Fair Council and the Montenegrin Kingdom reached Longcheng a few weeks ago, and the Ningdu Mansion was thousands of miles away from Longcheng, and at first the residents of Longcheng were indifferent to the matter, naively believing that the imperial court would soon regain the lost territory.
But a week ago, the Royal Legion camp guarding Dragon City broke out in a fire at night, the elite soldiers of the fourth battalion suffered heavy casualties, and some people witnessed the charred corpses of soldiers piled up in the entire open space on the outskirts of the city.
There are even well-informed people who rumored that Emperor Jinglong was angry when he heard about the tragic situation of the royal legion camp that day, and then fell unconscious.
The most elite Royal Legion was almost wiped out by a fire, and the people who were accustomed to looking at the well-armed and well-groomed Royal Legion soldiers patrolling Dragon City lost their backbone for a while, coupled with the growing rebellion from all over the country, the ordinary people suddenly felt panicked.
The hills in the western suburbs of Longcheng are planted with lush green bamboo, and after walking to the end of the winding and rugged mountain road, you will see a whole gray building, although the degree of luxury is far less than the mansions of the rich merchants and gentry in the city, but the architectural style has a unique flavor, faintly giving people a sense of solemnity.
Hong Yun walked quickly along the mountain road to the front of the gate, slowed down his breathing slightly, and straightened his clothes and crown after straightening up some messy clothes on the huge bronze mirror on the side of the door, and then raised his head and looked at the huge plaque on the gatehouse, "Wuhou Mansion" three vigorous and powerful characters, this place is the mansion of Emperor Jinglong half a year ago to break the surname of the Great Liang Dynasty and not to seal the Hou Zuxun, the first foreign surname "Wuhou" Hong Chengqi. Although he has often come here in recent years, Hong Yun feels deeply coerced every time he comes, and he subconsciously refuses to be cautious in his words and deeds.
"Tuk tuk tuk!" Hong Yun knocked on the door knocker and took a few steps back, revealing an old face behind the bronze door.
The old man glanced at Hong Yun and said softly: "It's Young Master Yun who is here, come with me, the old man has been waiting in the study for a long time." ”
"Xie Pengbo!" Hong Yun didn't dare to slack off at all for the old man in front of him, this old man had been a housekeeper for Wuhou for nearly fifty years and was deeply trusted by Wuhou.
Hong Yun followed closely behind the housekeeper Peng Bo, and there were hardly a few subordinates in the quiet mansion, but Hong Yun felt the gaze of several surveillances on him.
"Young Master Yun, please come in!" Peng Bo stopped in front of the study and motioned for Hong Yun to go in alone.
Hong Yun nodded slightly and pushed open the door of the study, a smell of ink came to his nose, and an old man in high spirits was sitting on the Taishi chair reading an ancient book with relish, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he put down the book with a faint smile on his face.
"Xiao Yun is here!
Hong Yun saluted respectfully and greeted softly: "Uncle, don't come unharmed, is your body still healthy?"
Hong Chengqi said with a smile: "Eat well and drink well, go to bed early and get up early, and make Sun feel happy, how can it be unhealthy?"
"Uncle's heart is really beyond me and other laymen. Hong Yun was amused by Hong Chengqi's words, and slightly let go of his previous restraint and said with some concern: "Uncle can know that the court is already full of rumors, and the spearhead is faintly directed at the Wuhou Mansion. ”
Hong Chengqi's eyes flashed: "Oh, if it weren't for the destruction of the elite of the fourth battalion of the Royal Legion, these young people wouldn't have jumped out in such a hurry!"
The royal legion as the most elite combat unit of the Liang is usually commanded by the emperor alone, and the rest of the officials at all levels cannot be mobilized, but since Hong Chengqi was named "Wuhou", Emperor Jinglong handed over the command of the elite of the eight battalions of the royal legion to Hong Chengqi.
Now the four battalions of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu, which guarded the Dragon City of Kyoto, were almost wiped out by the attack, and there was almost no army under Hong Chengqi to command, so there was a large number of opposition voices in the court, demanding that the emperor take Hong Chengqi and put him in prison.
"Uncle, Your Majesty is in a coma and can't take care of the government, many ministers in the court have called on the prince to supervise the country, and the prince seems to have the support of the inner government, which is quite unfavorable to us!"
For many years, the "hawks" faction headed by the crown prince and the "Huairou faction" faction headed by Hong Chengqi have been at odds with each other due to political disagreements. At present, Hong Chengqi has lost the help of the Royal Legion, which happens to give the crown prince an excellent excuse to attack.
Hong Chengqiyun smiled lightly: "Don't worry, how can the heritage of our Hong family in Kyoto be easily shaken by others in a few words?" He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip: "Let's talk about the war in Ningdu!" The words in the briefing are unknown, although Chu Han is not my official disciple, he has also studied with me for many years, there is no reason to be defeated so easily. ”
