Chapter 65: Assassination
Daye calendar three three or four years.
The envoy of Xituo and his entourage passed through Daye and stayed for about a month. This month's time did not seem to be a long time for the Xituo envoy who had traveled all the way along the extreme north of Kushan for one year and four months. For a teenager's childhood, a month may be just a good time to go up to the tree to dig out bird eggs and go down to the river to catch turtles and turtles. For a person's long life, it may be just a fragment of the memories of old age. For the Daye Dynasty, which has a history of more than 300 years, it is like a person blinking an eye.
For the time like the vast river, it is one of the drops of waves on this rushing river.
But it was such a drop of waves, derived from Daye, like a whirlwind, that swept and shook the Kushan Continent from the extreme north of Xituo, to the territory of the Tang Dynasty United Empire, and even to the south of the Gaowen Alliance Empire. And on and on.
The scarlet flowers of the phoenix wood are as bright as fire in this early summer, and they bloom all over Daye.
The Holy Maiden of Xituo, who caused a sensation in the entire Shanglin City, left the Daye Kingdom in this flowery season.
The moment when the Holy Maiden of Xituo left Daye and set off to return to the Xituo Temple. The frequent reports of emergencies in and around Daye once made the ability of the Daye Privy Council, as well as the Honglu Temple and other government and court institutions in charge of diplomacy to process information, almost paralyzed.
In the shaking Daye City, the huge Qichun Hou Mansion is brightly lit, and the majesty of the tall wall of the Hou Mansion can be seen from the outside, and the sound of those people can be faintly heard inside the wall, running, walking fast, whispering, and excitedly connected. Although I can't see the situation in the Hou Mansion, I only need to listen carefully, and I can generally feel the tense atmosphere inside, just like this darkest night.
Outside the walls of the Hou Mansion, countless carriages were parked on the bustling main street of Daye, and these carriages from different places and symbols of different clans could be seen. Batches of people were invited into the Hou Mansion from the side door, and batches of people came out of the Hou Mansion, got in the car and left, taking away shocking information one by one.
Those people wearing brocade robes and black official uniforms waited in groups outside the waiting door, waiting, frowning and looking at the main gate of the Hou Mansion, the surrounding restaurants and shops in the prosperous night Elixir shop was surprisingly silent, the restaurant was not missing the Shanglin crowd who shouted five and six at night, but these people were sitting against the window, not daring to make a loud noise, looking at the main street of the Hou Mansion, those officials who looked dangerous in the ordinary world and the clans who came from a small place stood cautiously outside the gate of the Hou Mansion of Qichun, quietly waiting for the next batch of receptions in the mansion。
The Yin guards of Shanglin City stood neatly at the front and back of the long street, and included the large parking place of the cars behind them into the scope of their blockade guards. The look was solemn. Any of these elite guards hand-picked by Lord Yin of Shanglin Mansion understood how big the adults in these cars they were protecting today were. And at this moment, she is waiting outside the house like a little daughter-in-law.
The door of the mansion suddenly "suddenly" opened, and everyone looked over together, and saw a group of people walking out, one of the adults in official uniforms showing a high position pointed at the waiting door with his sleeves and scolded strangely, "Yang Ye of the Marquis of Qichun is too much! He actually asked one of the eldest uncles of the Hou Mansion to send us away! Open the Sect Council of the Hou Mansion? Open the Sect Council of the Hou Mansion? Yang Ye actually can't avoid me? You must know that the three princes of Shangshu, Zhongshu, and Menxia are afraid that they are not so big when they see me. Today, His Royal Highness the Son of Heaven is respectful to us and other ministers! How old are you!?"
"He should have told us some details! Why should his third grandson win the favor of the saint, and how can he have private contact with the Xituo Palace? My Daye is about to get a descendant to enter the Xituo Palace, this is the blessing of Daye, not the business of his Qichunhou family, how can he let the descendants refuse such a blessing and shadow! The later life is broken, and he is also broken? The old man has lived for so many decades, and he is more and more discovering that Daye's current people don't know what is in his head! A piece of shit!"
The face of a young official who was a protégé of the old man next to him was dark and blue, and he pulled the abusive adult, and said in a low voice, "Teacher, don't scold too loudly Lord Qichun."
The old man stared, blew his beard and opened his eyes, then turned around and kicked back the door in the air, and said angrily, "What's the matter! I can't tell how old he Yang Ye is?"
The young official was anxious and said, "If the teacher continues to scold like this, I'm afraid that the Marquis of Qichun will really hear it."
The old man's eyes widened, and his voice seemed to be pinching the rooster's neck, and he was dry for a moment. Then the cat's waist stepped into the car, the curtain was lifted and drooped, and the car drove away quickly with the wheels rolling around.
"In this way, when you wander outside the main hall, you go to the forbidden place in the backyard?" In the sect meeting hall of the Qichun Marquis Mansion, almost all the elders in the Hou Mansion were seated, and only the voice of the Qi Chunhou was heard in a low and majestic voice. There is also the process of how Yang Ze said how to meet Ji Linger. Of course, some details are hidden.
"When the palace was opened, every time you went to the outer hall, you went to meet the holy woman?" one of the elders couldn't help but interject forcefully, and his words were already shaking in disbelief, "And she really proposed to you that she could admit you into the Xituo Palace?"
Yang Ze nodded.
Whether it is Yang Weiming, the eldest uncle of the Son of Heaven, or Yang Yuanzheng, the second uncle of the general's background and Yang Ze, who are not quite the same surname. Even the uncles and elders of the Yang Mansion clan who were sitting there were collectively speechless, although Yang Hong Yuanying had heard Yang Ze's general explanation before, but now that he heard it, he still had the same shock.
Yang Yuanzheng glared at Yang Zedao with a violent temper, "Do you know what kind of place the Xituo Hall is? It is a cultivation resort that many people can't go to crying and shouting! Don't talk about Daye's Autumn Dao Academy, it can't be compared with others at all, it's several buildings away! You actually rejected the holy woman's kindness with a word! I'm going to be angry to death, if your second brother dares to be so hasty, I'll break his foot and throw him out of the Hou Mansion today!"
Yang Ze smiled bitterly, but he couldn't explain it, so he had to say, "Second brother is now in Buzhou Mountain Autumn Dao Academy."
Yang Yuanzheng was almost stunned in one breath.
At this moment, everyone was gossiping in the hall, making a noise like a lark, and Yang's mother Cheng Ying couldn't interject, just looking at Yang Ze's eyes with some worry, but there was also a sense of pride of great relief. This kind of pride is also faintly flashing in Yang Hongyuan's eyes next to him.
There are still people in the clan who speak for Yang Ze, and since the beginning of this year, it has been like a magic spell, Yang Ze's change has been seen by many people, and then seeing the events he has made now, even some elders in the Hou Mansion who used to abandon him very much now like Yang Ze's delicate and confident eyebrows in their hearts.
"You can't look at it that way. Men are ambitious in all directions, but there is no stop. Although the Xituo Temple has a high status, I, the Marquis of Qichun, have always been self-reliant and self-reliant, and will never follow the saints. It is a pity not to go to the temple of the West Tuo. However, hehe, the saint in the temple attaches so much importance to the affairs of the third son, but there is no falsehood! Who said that there is really no fate and possibility in the future? Old marquis, such a surname who is not afraid of authority and dares to act boldly is worthy of being the third son of our Qichun Marquis Mansion!"
Unprecedented, Yang Ye, who was extremely strict in the past, also nodded lightly within the scope of the slightest notice at this moment, looking at Yang Ze, his tiger eyes were silky.
Some of the female elders in the clan hall looked at Yang Ze as if they couldn't think enough, and the information in their eyes was much richer. When it was said that the matter of the Holy Maiden and Yang Ze in the temple had already been spread by word of mouth, the royal capital was crazy because of this news, and the surrounding forces were also swept away, and they were shocked by the news, and even thought it was a rumor for a while. That Ji Ling'er is indeed still young now, if Yang Zezhen left something in the state of mind of the ancient well, this child would be really amazing.
It's just that everyone delves into the continuous development of Yang Ze and the Holy Maiden, which is too ethereal. They all sighed softly and regretfully.
Yang Ze's move not only shook Daye, but also shook the forces of countless surrounding countries and even the empire above Daye. Now let's put aside the troubles of the outside and the top of the empire, I'm afraid the first thing to deal with is the internal troubles from Daye, first of all, the level of the Emperor of Dezhao, I'm afraid it will not pass!
Yang Ze and Ji Ling'er said that after the incident broke out in the Daye Palace. Many forces in the surrounding countries were shaken, but they still did not dare to act rashly.
However, there were exceptions, the most violent of which was the reaction from the country of Kashima outside the Far East Sea of Daye.
Lei Donglai, the Shinto fasting master who had been on the Ruiquan Temple in the Peach Blossom Mountain of the Shinto Zhai, and talked happily about the truth of the practice with the Xituo Temple, publicly issued a warning on the third day after Ji Ling'er left Daye: The majesty of the saint cannot be desecrated, and the country of Daye must pay the price for this matter!
"Because the Shinto fasting lord Lei Donglai and Kamuu are friends, Shinto Zhai is also a follower and a pleaser of the Sida Temple. In addition, Lei Donglai has repeatedly suffered losses in our Daye, but every time he has no name, and now he just took advantage of the topic, and even said that he and Jia Mu still have a secret agreement, and let out the words, after a month, he Lei Donglai will go to the waters of Daye in person to seek justice for violating the majesty of the saint."
Yang Ze said that he was summoned into the palace by the emperor of Da Ye Dezhao early in the morning, and when the car drove to the halfway point, Qi Jianlin stopped and drove, and then entered and sat next to Yang Ze.
"The Shinto Zhai Lord is about to arrive," Yang Ze's delicate brows furrowed in the morning light.
Qi Jianlin seemed to see through his thoughts, and said at the right time, "You must not think that you have a big face, thinking that he is really rushing to you to come to the country of Ludao Although there are many cultivators who have violated the border, but Daye has the strongest infantry in the region, no matter what, they will not dare to land on the land of Daye, at most they will shout with a clipper on the coast." Robbery some merchant boat islanders, don't dare to anger Daye too much, otherwise all the boats of Daye are full of sergeants, open the way with a strong boat, board the small country of Kashima, and use thousands of soldiers to level it! Therefore, although the Kashima Shinto Saisai Lord is extremely arrogant, he will also weigh that he will not easily make too provocative and extreme moves against Daye."
"And Lei Donglai's Shinto Zhai has repeatedly eaten deflated in my Daye's hands, this fire has been endured for a long time, and he has been a teacher, even if there is no matter of you this time, he will find other excuses to take action in person, but my father said, he Lei Donglai will take a trip around the sea, if he sets foot in Daye. Even if he is a cultivator of the Dao Tong Nine Grades, Da Ye's prohibition and master will make him unable to leave!"
Qi Jianlin obviously inherited the talent of his admiral's father, and he talked endlessly, and between words, he suddenly found that Yang Ze's eyes suddenly tightened, and he looked out through the window of the car. The curtains half-shaded the early morning light, revealing the peaceful streets outside.
However, above the sky light that came through those cracks, Qi Jianlin saw that there were many cold lights at the zenith, and the cold light was extremely sharp! Qi Jianlin, who was born in a general's family, suddenly had an extremely terrifying tightening of his scalp, and he knew what those cold lights were! If he hadn't looked closely, if it hadn't been for the fact that the light was very sufficient, these arrows that had been coated with a layer of paint and penetrated the sky would not have been so easy for people to discover.
Only then did he look at Yang Ze in a panic, knowing that Yang Ze's cultivation was more than one step higher than him, and he must have sensed some extremely dangerous aura earlier.
At this time, there was the sound of countless breaking winds in the space outside the car.
These arrows from behind the tall houses and tiles of the surrounding streets are obviously infused with real power, and the wind is urgent, and it is instantaneous!
It was an organized, disciplined, despicable assassination. It happened blatantly on the streets of Shanglin City, and it was Yang Ze who was targeted.
Qi Jianlin hadn't recovered from the fear of scalp tingling, and he found that his neckline suddenly tightened vigorously, and Yang Ze lifted his back collar, bounced up, and was about to break the curtain and fly out.
But in a frustration, he found a hand outside the curtain door. With an irresistible force, the two people who were about to break out of the curtain to avoid fighting for life were slapped back into the carriage.
Then came the hurried voice of a middle-aged woman who Yang Ze was very familiar with, "Go back and sit down!
The door curtain was torn open, revealing Yu Xiaoxiao, who appeared at the door of the carriage curtain and was instructed by Qi Chunhou to accompany Yu Xiaoxiao in red clothes with wide sleeves, her right hand was wrapped in long sleeves, and her left hand pushed back Yang Ze and the two, and then stretched her five fingers and raised them to the sky. When the four sides screamed like arrows like a mad python. Five fingers together into a fist!
Bang!
Countless arrows hit the iron wall like thin bamboo sticks, like a fluttering wind, broken like rice catkins, and flew in all directions.
