Zhang Qiming, the Marquis of Xiaoyao, returned to the house, made a cup of tea, sat on the chair casually, rested one hand on the small round table, and clasped his index finger lightly, making a soft sound in the silent night.

He was originally a soul of another world, and he merged with this body eight years ago to inherit all that it was. The current situation of the Hou Mansion starts with his grandfather.

This monarch is the youngest son of Emperor Jianming's favorite, and when he was the king of the king, he was left in the Shendu by the emperor, named the king of Xiaoyao, and spent a lot of money to build a Xiaoyao palace that can be called an artistic masterpiece. At that time, King Xiaoyao was the demon king of the chaos of Tianyuan Shendu, except for the emperor, everyone dared to provoke, no one was afraid, and the prince had to take a detour when he saw him from afar. If it weren't for the desperate obstruction of several important ministers, the prince would have been deposed long ago.

When Emperor Jianming burped, the crown prince ascended the throne as Emperor Longli, and retribution came. Before he could make a hint, the King of Freedom had already become a great evil in the world, and he burped in less than a year. However, Emperor Longli didn't live long, and he hiccups in less than two years. The imperial doctor said that it was Emperor Longli who was too frightened during his more than 20 years as the crown prince, and in detail, he had nightmares in the middle of the night every day, and he was in a trance during the day and had a nervous breakdown, and he consumed too much vitality, and he couldn't make up for it.

It stands to reason that the three people who have karma and grievances burp one after another, and the matter fades. The son of Emperor Kolongli, the newly enthroned Emperor Yuanjia, had a different opinion. At that time, Zhang Qiming's father was knighted, and the king of Xiaoyao had been demoted to the prince of Xiaoyao, and Emperor Yuanjia did not need to pretend to be open-minded and show his mind, and he was justified in upholding his father. So Zhang Qiming's father was miserable, Wang Fa couldn't cover his family, and he died in his early thirties.

When his father died, as his son-in-law, Zhang Qiming was going to resist, and according to the procedure, he had to go to the Zongren Mansion to receive the documents for inheriting the Marquis of Xiaoyao. As a result, this wretched was frightened by the feat of his own two generations and the royal family's death, imagining his possible fate after the attack, plus he was too young at the time, and he was frightened and dissipated the night before he went to the Zongren Mansion to receive the documents, which is why he has now.

Since he inherited as the Marquis of Xiaoyao, he has been a dead house, in the eyes of Wei Sanbao, it is "exhaustive, painstaking", it has been eight years so far, and there is zero in the spring and autumn twenty.

Tonight, Zhang Qiming did not rest as usual, and sat quietly in the dark room.

One watch, two watches, three watches......

The sound of beating along the many main roads of the Shendu to the surroundings was distant, ethereal, as if in the sky.

......

More than halfway through the third watch, a team of 100 people, two by two, running in small steps, each holding a blazing torch, like a flame snake. Dressed in a firm and stubborn manner, the footsteps rise and fall neatly, and the sound spreads in the middle of the night, which is breathtaking.

In the center of the procession was a general with a tall horse in armor. Behind him was a carriage, simple in style.

Footsteps, horses' hooves, and ruts rolled over the dead leaves in the middle of the night on the street, and stopped in front of the Xiaoyao Mansion.

The general was no more than thirty years old, his face was solemn, his movements were agile, he turned over and dismounted, and he arrived in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion in two or three steps, holding the door knocker in his hand, and clasping it with moderate force and rhythm, "Papa, Papa, Papapa......", the power was not very large, but the sound was transmitted very far.

Three people got out of the carriage, slowly walked behind him, lined up left, center, and right, and waited quietly.

In the middle is an old man with a clear face, on the left is a sturdy old man with bright eyes and a slightly shy belly, and on the right is a middle-aged beautiful man with an elegant appearance.

"Who?" Wei Sanbao, whose bedroom was not far or close to the door, was finally awakened, and he initially thought it was a hallucination. In the middle of the night, this can be directly classified as a ghost story. The knock at the door did not stop, and when he was completely conscious and completely convinced, he sat up in disbelief, lit a lamp, and walked towards the door.

When I opened the door, I was dazzled by the bright torches, and it took a long time to see the four people in front of the door, and I asked with vigilance in surprise: "Who are you?"

The general said: "Grandpa Wei, don't panic, we are just going to visit the Marquis of Xiaoyao!"

Wei Sanbao's eyes slipped to the hundred brave soldiers with knives and guns behind him, and said, "What's the matter? Can't you come during the day?" This battle was unprecedented in the Xiaoyao Mansion, and he was out of proportion for a while, knowing that he couldn't stop it with his old arms and legs, but he didn't want to let go of the door so easily.

The elegant man on the right stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law Wei, it is really disturbing to visit late at night, but there are indeed 100,000 urgent matters to discuss with Hou Ye...... It's not a bad thing, don't worry!" He finally deliberately explained. He seems to be born with an amiable contagion, and in just a few words, he quietly calmed the turmoil in Wei Sanbao's heart, and he couldn't bear to refuse any request from this person, so he couldn't help but take a step to the side, and the four of them walked directly inside.

The middle-aged beautiful man finally passed by Wei Sanbao's side and said to him, who seemed to be stunned, "Father-in-law Wei, please lead the way." ”

"Oh, yes!" Wei Sanbao honestly led the way in front, but he was very surprised in his heart, what happened to me just now?

He first introduced the four of them into the living room that had not been used for a long time, and then hurriedly went to inform the Hou Ye. Passing by the courtyard of the second young man, he was also awakened by the movement outside at this time, looked at the sky illuminated by torches in the distance, rubbed his eyes and yawned and asked Wei Sanbao, who was trotting: "Grandpa Wei, what's going on outside?"

Wei Sanbao waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business, don't make a mess, go to sleep." ”

The second young man is also big-hearted, "oh" and really went back to the house to sleep again, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all.

Entering the courtyard where the Hou Ye lived, he was raising his hand to knock on the door of the main house, the door squeaked open, and Zhang Qiming, who was fully dressed, had already opened the room first, Wei Sanbao was stunned, but he didn't think much about it, anyway, in his heart, the Hou Ye has been exhausted all these years, and it is normal to go to bed very late. He gave a brief account of tonight's rarity, and said, "I've arranged them all in the living room. ”

Xiaoyao Hou bowed his head and said, "Then let's go and meet them." After saying that, he took the first step to leave, and Wei Sanbao hurriedly followed, feeling that Hou Ye had done a good job of cultivating qi.

Entering the living room, several pairs of eyes focused on him, Zhang Qiming was not afraid, and asked, "A few late-night visitors, what are you doing?"

The old man sat in the first position on the left, the strong old man sat in the first position on the right, the middle-aged beautiful man sat in the second position on the left, and the rather young general stood next to him. Seeing that the main lord had arrived, he walked straight out of the door, and looked at Wei Sanbao before closing the door, but Wei Sanbao was pretending to be stupid at this time standing behind the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and he made up his mind that as long as the Hou Ye did not open his mouth, he would not leave.

Zhang Qiming was silent, and the other three were silent, the general only paused and then went out and closed the door reflexively, holding the sword and two soldiers on the left and right to guard the door, and the other soldiers had also entered the mansion and guarded the main roads everywhere. The lonely courtyard, which was deserted to the point that no one cared about it a moment ago, instantly became a tiger's den and wolf's den that water could not splash into.

The night breeze blows, but the coolness is still there. The insects ceased suddenly, except for the sound of burning torches, like a dead realm.

......

"Master Hou. The three of them stood up and bowed in greeting. The three of them stopped here, but they all had their own styles.

The old man looks so calm that he is even a little wooden, but he is really straight like a pine and cypress, just standing quietly, giving people a kind of stubbornness, fearless of wind and rain, and stubborn to the end;

This is the most extraordinary person he has ever seen, so he asked curiously: "The three venerable elders must have already moved the world with such a demeanor, I don't know what to call them?"

The old man said: "Old decay Qin Mu." ”

The sturdy old man said, "My name is Wei Chiba. ”

The middle-aged man said, "Under Yao Wenchang." ”

As soon as the three names came out, Wei Sanbao, who counted the food expenses with his fingers all day long, and Xiaoyaohou, who was determined to be an otaku and did not let go, were all stunned. Being in the Shendu, you don't know who the emperor is this year, but you must know who these three people are.

Qin Mu, the prime minister of the empire, is the ruler of a hundred officials!

Wei Chiba, the general of the Imperial Pillar State, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses!

Yao Wenchang, the head of the Yuanpan Xue Palace, has more influence on the world than the other two!

Zhang Qiming asked with a puzzled face: "The three elders have a lot of opportunities, what are you doing in my down-and-out mansion late at night?"

Qin Mu took a deep breath and said, "Master Hou, an hour ago, Emperor Shaogong collapsed!"

Wei Sanbao knew who Emperor Shaogong was, and what about today, but the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion had a deep enmity with the three generations of the imperial family, why didn't they hurry up to the emperor's funeral and run to the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion?

Thinking of the collapse of Emperor Shaogong, as the real power of the Marquis of Xiaoyao's Mansion, Wei Sanbao couldn't help but gloat a little, saying that the imperial family has also fallen into blood mold over the years, and several emperors have died early in succession, and now this one has died early, hehe.

Emperor Longli died in the prime of life and there is always a saying, the palpitation is too much, but his son Emperor Yuanjia is also short-lived, the imperial doctor did not even have a word, just forced to die The old man also followed a few years, and then his son Emperor Jingxi ascended the throne for two years and died, and then Emperor Shaogong succeeded to the throne, this monarch was only three years old when he ascended the throne, and he ascended the throne last winter, and now he has gone again, and it is less than a year now!

Good guy, how can the emperor change it like a marquee, is it the throne of the Son of Heaven or the soul hooking seat that kills people in the Jinluan Palace?

Wei Sanbao thought about it casually, and vaguely seemed to have caught some spiritual light......

Concisely passed on the Longli, Longli passed on Yuanjia, because of absorbing his own lessons, the other sons were divided and thrown to the edge of the sky; Yuanjia passed on Jingxi, and the emperor's other sons except Jingxi died; Jingxi passed on Shaogong, Jingxi was too young when he ascended the throne, Emperor Shaogong was his only son, and now Emperor Shaogong is dead again, I don't want to know, I was startled, from Longli down, the emperor's vein was broken!

If you want to continue the emperor's vein, you have to trace it up, the closer the blood source, the more dominant it is, King Xiaoyao and Emperor Longli are both sons of Emperor Jianming, brothers, and the natural bloodline is the closest!

With a clear line of thought outlined, Wei Sanbao's eyes almost jumped out in shock, as if he saw a pie bigger than the sky and was about to smash into the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion!
