Chapter 181: Shadows
When King Qi and Sima Deshi were conspiring, the sage was reviewing the recital in the East Warm Pavilion of the Zichen Palace. The prince sat on the square couch under the imperial couch, his legs covered with a thin felt with a pale yellow silk surface, and leaned on the gold thread embroidered dragon hidden sac behind his back. The father and son asked and answered, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Since the saint canonized the princess of Qin, this is the way to deal with the crown prince.
Qin You and Chen Baozhu stood on the side of the sage and the prince's couch respectively, and the sage handed it to Qin You and presented it to the prince after each batch of musicals; After reading it, the prince handed it to Chen Baozhu, put it on the Nanmu lattice frame on the west side of the imperial couch, and put it into the sealing box in different grids according to the inscription of the ministry on the silk surface of the chapter.
There are not many recitals that require daily instructions from the saints. Because most government affairs are handled by the government hall, except for important chapters that require the emperor's approval, the others are submitted to the emperor for reading after the approval of the government hall, and generally do not need imperial approval, unless the saint has objections or additions to the disposal of the government hall. All the pieces are attached to the back of the white paper and black letters, called "stickers", the content of the music is brief, but only 100 words, it is very convenient to read. If it is an unimportant government matter, most of the saints just browse the posters, and only read the comments of the government affairs hall, and the reading degree is extremely fast; The same is true for the crown prince. Although there are many pieces of music on the imperial case, they are decreasing with a degree of slowness.
The mouth of the gilded crane spits out the agarwood incense that purifies the heart and soothes the nerves, which lingers around, making people feel quiet and peaceful. When the prince was reading a book of the household department, an attendant on the corridor entered and announced: "Hey, Si Tianjian Zuo Shaojian and Princess Jiaguo have come to see you." ”
The saint sighed, looked up and said, "Xuan." ”
The chamberlain turned around and pushed open the attic door.
Princess Li Yiluo of Jiaguo entered the pavilion door and took off her boots, stepped on the white rattan mat and bypassed the jade barrier screen to enter, wearing a purple big dragon round-necked silk robe that can only be worn by a princess participating in politics, wearing a three-inch-high white jade five-beam crown on her head, a gold and jade belt around her waist, and a graceful and dignified bearing. The saint smiled casually: "Ah Luo, sit." ”
Princess Jiaguo then saluted the prince, retreated and sat on the square couch opposite, and said with a stern face: "Si Tianjian and the three stations are the same, and there will be ground movements in Guangzhou within ten days." As he spoke, he took out the piece from his sleeve and handed it to Qin You.
The saint's face changed slightly, and the prince was also shocked.
That's a ...... Woe doesn't go alone!
"Can you measure the intensity of ground motion?" The saint took the recital and asked with a solemn expression.
Si Tianjian has three astrological observation stations, respectively located in Daming Palace, Huashan and Zhongnan Mountain, each guarded by the three directors of Si Tianjian and the deputy director, Daming Palace is the princess of Jiaguo, and is responsible for reporting important observations to the emperor - saying that "three observations are the same", that is, the three stargazing stations have reached the same observation conclusion, this credibility is very high. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the "Three Observation Stations" have not made any mistakes, and the sage certainly has no doubts, and the first thing he is concerned about is how highly destructive the earthquake is.
This destructiveness is the "intensity of ground movement", but it is not observed through the astrological signs, but after observing the signs of ground movement, the Yi Shi will make a targeted easy occupation: it is divided into six levels, the strictest is the first grade, and the slightest is the own level. Princess Jiaguo said: "It is easy to measure that between Ding and Bing, the house may collapse if it is damaged, and there may be one to three feet of cracks in the ground. ”
The prince suddenly frowned, "If the ground is shaken out of the cracks, won't the underground sewage pottery pipes also be shaken and cracked?" ”
Plague plus earthquake, that's terrible!
Princess Jiaguo said: "It depends on the situation, if it is just at the crack, most of the pottery pipes will be cracked." "I chose to talk about the observations.
While listening, the sage finished reading the chapter, and Zhu Bi commented: "A copy will be sent to the political hall for urgent measures, and the draft will be sent to the Jing'an Division, and the Jing'an Division will be urgently delivered to Guangzhou within seven days, and there must be no mistake." ”
Jing'an Division has built hidden eagle and pigeon outposts in all states of the Tang Dynasty, which will be activated when encountering "emergency delivery", which is faster than the "800-mile express delivery" of post delivery. From Chang'an to Guangzhou, the distance of water 6 post delivery is more than 10,000 miles, of course, not as fast as the almost straight line of air delivery.
After the sage signed it, he stamped the emperor's small seal, and handed it to Princess Jiaguo without waiting for the cinnabar to dry, and instructed: "A Luo will draw up a decree here, and let the lieutenant pass it to Jing'an Division, so as to save time and time." The ground doesn't wait for anyone. ”
"Whoa." Princess Jiaguo responded, got up and took the concerto. Chen Baozhu neatly prepared the ink inkstone pen and paper on the small table and put it on the couch of Princess Jiaguo. Princess Jiaguo drew up a decree with a pen, copied and attached the sage's Zhu Approval, and put it into the vellum letter after the ink dried, with the inscription "Hou Qi of the Zhonglang General of the Internal Security Administration", and handed it to Chen Baozhu.
Chen Baozhu put the letter into the box with the inscription "Jing'an Division", locked it with a "click", and then withdrew from the warm pavilion with the box, and immediately arranged for the chamber to be handed to Jing'an Division.
About half an hour later, a white pigeon flew into the sky from somewhere in the capital, and soon turned into a small white dot and disappeared into the air.
Two quarters of an hour later, from another part of the capital, a gray dove flew out, and also flapped its wings and flew south.
Two days later, when the white news pigeon flew over the woods on the outskirts of Dengzhou, it heard a "whoosh" sound, and a sharp arrow shot out of the forest, flying to a height of 200 zhang, and accurately hit the pigeon.
The white dove screamed and fell from among the trees to the ground.
A bony hand picked up the pigeon.
In an instant, the figure disappeared into the forest.
***
On February 25, three days after Xiao Yan recuperated from his injuries, he re-entered the Sword Array Alley.
It was still a three-fold four-elephant seven-night sword formation, and eighty-four swordsmen wearing black kudzu short brown ascended to the Extreme Realm.
Xiao Yan was wearing a white fine kudzu short brown school uniform, but an hour after entering the formation, it was half stained red with blood. Strangely, all that dripped to the ground was dark red blood, but the rest of the bright red blood seeped back into her body from the wound as her internal qi flowed.
This trick was learned by her from Li Yuzhen.
But what she first knew was the mystery of Li Yuzhen's sword qi forging body, but it was extremely difficult to implement it on herself. Because she is not practicing kendo, although martial arts can be used for reference, it is not easy to comprehend what she can use. Xiao Yan pondered and accumulated in the forging and injury again and again, and finally bore fruit under the sharpening of the sword array.
Because her tempering in the sword array is like a swordsmith forging a sword blank with an iron hammer, removing impurities little by little, the purer the tempering, the tougher the physique, and the stronger the vitality; And when she comprehended the "endless life", a yin and yang vortex was generated in the dantian, constituting a vitality cycle in the body, while removing impurities from the body with blood stasis, while absorbing the pure blood after removing the impurities back into the body, and giving it more surging vitality. This is the important principle that Xiao Yan can insist on in the sword formation, otherwise, even if her internal qi can support it, she will be weakened due to excessive blood loss.
This time, Xiao Yan lasted for two hours, twice as long as last time.
Because of the enhancement of her physique, her ability to recover from her injuries was also enhanced, and after only two days of recuperation after this injury, she entered the Great Zhou Heavenly Sword Formation for the fourth time.
And this time, the power of the Great Zhou Heavenly Sword Formation was swung to fifty percent, which was one percent more than the third time she entered the formation.
But Xiao Yan persisted for three hours, an hour more than last time.
This level of progress is truly astonishing!
You must know that if the Great Zhou Heavenly Sword Array wields fifty percent of its power, it can trap and kill a person in the early stage of the Cave True Realm. Although the sword array used for refining has greatly lost its power because it did not wield killing intent, it has been held up for three hours in the late stage of the Ascending Extreme Realm, which is a very terrifying achievement-in the past fifty years, except for Li Yuzhen, there is only Xiao Yan.
The faces of the swordsmen were already stiff, and this kind of tempering was simply a blow to them
People are more angry than people.
Murong Jue's eyes burst into two rays of light, like the reflection of an ice wall, which was extremely dazzling without temperature.
Xiao Yan's two arms had been dislocated, and her body had been cut by sword qi seven or eight times, but compared to the last time, the sword wounds had been reduced again, because her muscles and muscles had become extremely strong after being tempered by the sword formation again and again. But the internal organs are not so easy to temper, so her internal injuries are worse than external injuries every time.
"Knock knock knock ......" There is still a big open and closing drum sound from the iron alley next door, although it is three miles away, the drum sound is high-pitched and passionate, as if the battle array is rushing, which makes people's blood boil. Xiao Yan's fighting spirit suddenly surged, he sat up with a "Teng", shrugged his left and right shoulder sockets, and with two "clicks", the dislocated arm was connected. As soon as she put her hands on the ground, she waited to jump up, and then fought after exercising her body to heal her wounds.
But her shoulder was pressed down by a hand, and the cold air went straight into her muscles and bones.
Xiao Yan raised his eyes and saw Murong Jue's eyes as cold as ice and snow, and the cold air was chilling.
Xiao Yan's mind froze, the spiritual platform suddenly became clear, and the battle spirit caused by the sound of drums fell like a tide in an instant.
"Today's tempering has reached the extreme, and you can't be brave with blood." Murong Jue carried her belt and swept out of the iron wall, and when she fell outside the alley, she let go, hugged her waist, and stepped on the tip of the grass on the ground, not too fast, but not slow to sweep forward. Even if he hugged a person in his left arm, the blade of grass did not bend, as if only a feather fell on it.
Xiao Yan'er listened to the sound of the drums and went away, remembering that he was actually affected by the sound of the drums and provoked his fighting spirit, so he asked Murong Jue: "Who is the student who beats the drum?" - I thought that only Senior Yu Fu had a talent for music and martial arts - was a student of Changshan Junwang, right? ”
There are very few martial artists who practice the way of martial arts. First, because the history of its establishment is not long, less than a hundred years ago, compared with other mature martial arts, there are still many defects; The second is that the qualification requirements are very harsh, and they must have both music and martial arts talents, such people are very rare, and they are often able to do martial arts but not music, and can not be happy with martial arts. Otherwise, with Grandmaster Le Wu in the army, the combat effectiveness can be multiplied. It's a pity that as far as Xiao Yan knows, the only Lewu grandmasters in today's world are Princess Dongyang and King Changshan - the latter is the main way to attack sound killing.
The student who beat the drum struck out a sonorous and sharp killing intent, and ninety percent were students of the king of Changshan County.
Murong Jue said "um": "Wei Chihao." ”
The answer was succinct.
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and asked: "But Zuo Qianniuwei, General Wei Chi's family?" ”
There are two generals in Beijing, one is Wei Chi Xiu, the general of the left leading army, who was born in the Xianbei tribe; One is Zuo Qianniuwei General Wei Chi Teng, whose ancestors are from the Khotanese royal family. These two Wei Chi are both military generals and nobles loyal to the royal family, and both have children recommended to Tiance Academy, but Xiao Yan deduced from the name of "Wei Chihao" that he and Yu Chiting are probably brothers. Yu Chi Ting is the third son of Zuo Qianniu Wei General Wei Chi Teng.
Murong Jue was a little annoyed at this time, and remembered that it was written on the "Heart Secret" that liking a person should start with communication; But she has always spoken concisely, if she wants to like Xiao Yan, it doesn't seem good?
When she thought of it, she immediately changed her mind and replied in detail: "He is the eldest son of General Zuo Qianniuwei. Because of Ledao's outstanding talent and martial arts talent, he was accepted as a student by the king of Changshan County, and he is the most proud disciple so far. At the age of twenty-four, he entered the Ascending Extreme Realm, and he is twenty-eight years old this year, in the middle of the Ascending Extreme Realm. After graduating three years ago, he joined the Zuolong Martial Army and served as a general of the military cavalry. In the previous attack on Tibet, the general's drum was used to help the battle, which increased the combat effectiveness of the subordinate battalion by 30%. Battlefield grinding is also helpful to his sound attack comprehension, and now that he has returned to the academy to refine, he is probably about to advance to the late stage. Listening to his drum sound today, if there is no accident, if he tempers it twice, he may break through on the verge of breaking through. ”
She rarely said such long words, and her sentences were a little stiff in the transition.
Xiao Yan didn't pay attention to this, but had a feeling of "flattered".
Ahhh
Is this all ten days of words said in advance?
In the next ten days, you won't spit out a word, right?
