"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats the border soldiers like this?"

The young man raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xiahou Chun said meaningfully: "Isn't your Du clan able to represent the border soldiers?" Do you want to get involved in the military power of the Nine Sides? ”

"Ahem, ahem." Chen Gong had to interrupt the conversation between the two, and said softly to the young man of the Du clan: "The prince is new, I don't know the bitter cold of the border pass, I have a lot of puzzlement, and I have no other meaning, and I hope that Du Shen will not take it to heart." ”

Du Shi Junjie was neither humble nor arrogant, and after hugging his fist towards Chen Gong, he glanced at Xiahou Chun, then flung his sleeves and turned to leave.

When he was about to leave the tent, he seemed to be talking to himself: "How can you hide the world with a small belly and a narrow heart?" ”

Everyone's hearts jumped, their faces changed slightly, and they subconsciously looked at Xiahou Chun.

But he saw that his face was calm and turned a deaf ear.

Chen Gongcang frowned slightly, and said to Yan Dao and Li Daoyan, "You guys go out first." ”

Li Daoyan seems to be very arrogant, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair, knowing that the prince's move must have a deep meaning, but it is difficult to understand it for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, he hugged his fist towards Xiahou Chun and said: "Your Highness, in fact, General Du Shen has a splendid chest, since the battle, he has paid a lot for my Shuozhou City, and he treats people leniently, and there is no arrogance of the family, if he offends His Royal Highness, the last general will apologize for him here." ”

Xiahou Chun replied with a smile: "This palace knows, General Li has worked hard. ”

After Li Daoyan didn't dare to reply, he hugged his fists and retreated.

Yan Dao's eyes flickered, and he calculated in his heart, since the prince didn't like the Du family, he would stay away from him in the future.

He smiled respectfully at Xiahou Chun and bowed down.

After the two left, Xiahou Chun pulled Murong Yan and the others to Chen Gong's side and introduced them one by one.

Chen Gong's eyes were kind, especially when he looked at Murong Yan, who had a gentle appearance and a graceful temperament, he bent down slightly and said, "Miss Murong is polite. ”

Murong Yan was startled, and waved his hand again and again: "Old Chen Ge, what are you doing, please hurry up, the little woman can't afford such a big gift." ”

Chen Gong smiled and said nothing, and after gently bowing his head with Tianxin and swordsman Guo Rong, he said softly: "The decayed body is difficult to see, and I hope you don't blame it." ”

Guo Rong's cold face softened, and he said coldly: "It's okay." ”

Chen Gong seemed to know the nature of sword cultivation and smiled slightly.

Xiahou Chun was helpless, seeing that Chen Gong was so calm, he asked, "Isn't Elder Ge asking me why I did that?" ”

Tianxin pursed his lips and said lightly: "Who knows, maybe it's because of your tendons that is wrong, and I don't know if you have frequent faint moves." ”

Chen Gong smiled when he heard this, and after pretending to groan, he said in surprise: "Your Highness has been smart since you were a child, and you can distinguish between right and wrong, and the old minister doesn't know why you hurt yourself like this?" ”

Xiahou Chun was dumbfounded, and after thinking for a moment, he said softly: "I was in Jinju before, and it was for my own time to seek revenge against the Cui family in public, and this time I openly provoked the Du family for the sake of the public. ”

Chen Gong frowned, and said with a slight reproach: "The Du clan is my Dajing official eunuch, and the current patriarch Du You is the official servant of the Ministry of Officials, after Zhang Ge is old, he is the most likely candidate to take charge of the Ministry of Officials, and General Du is the most favored by Du Shilang, you provoke him in public today, give him an ugly look, Your Highness, forgive the old minister, it is really unwise." ”

Xiahou Chun immediately made a respectful gesture and said with a smile: "The elder of the pavilion has misunderstood, the kid actually wants to test what kind of character that person is, and by the way, he also wants to ask Wei Duqu what he means, and he doesn't plan to completely fight them. ”

Chen Gong frowned: "Then did you find out something?" ”

Xiahou Chun smiled and said softly: "I have found out that Wei Du has no intention of me at the moment, let alone allegiance. ”

Cicada rolled his eyes, allegiance? You don't have any now, and I don't want to be loyal to you.

Tianxin snorted lightly: "You are quite self-aware. ”

Murong Yan looked worried: "Then what should I do?" Wei Du is a thousand-year-old family, on par with King Xiao, if even they are unwilling to support His Highness, wouldn't it be difficult for the world brother? ”

Chen Gong glanced at Xiahou Chun meaningfully, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly opened them again.

There seemed to be a faint flash in his eyes, and after a long silence, he said quietly: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what do you want?" ”

Xiahou Chun's eyes drooped, his five fingers flicked, and he asked instead of answering: "The elder of Fang Cai Pavilion asked the kid about Lu Guogong, and he must know who did it, do you think you can still avenge him in this life?" ”

Chen Gong opened his mouth, his face seemed to be flushed, like angry, and not angry, but more of it was the helplessness of the intention to kill the thief and the powerlessness to return to the sky, his face was cloudy, and after a long time, a trace of depression finally appeared.

His voice was hoarse, and he replied in an astringent voice: "So you know everything? ”

Xiahou Chun slowly got up, walked to the table, looked down at the bright yellow seal ribbon symbolizing the Shuozhou Army on the table, his eyes were cold, his back was to Chen Gong, and he said lightly: "In order to avenge Master Taizong, my father did not hesitate to go to Tiandu Peak to fight against Taiwei, in addition to not wanting to drag him into the quagmire of stalemate with Xuanzong, he also did not feel at ease with some people. ”

Some of the people mentioned here, Chen Gong knows well and knows the cicada thoughtfully, but Tianxin, Murong Yan, swordsman Guo Rong and others are confused.

Chen Gong scolded with hatred: "How could it be, how dare they?" ”

Xiahou Chun's tone stopped, and he seemed to point out: "Don't talk about it, who is the culprit in the death of Lu Guogong?" Who knows if they're making waves behind this? ”

He stood with his sword in his club, turned around, and said softly: "Every time you slaughter more dogs, most of you are scholars, so why don't you dare?" ”

Tianxin muttered to himself, secretly chewing on this sentence.

Murong Yan's eyes darkened, and he remembered that his Southern Chu Kingdom seemed to have been defeated by these 'Confucian scholars'.

Chen Gong's breath stagnated, as if he couldn't believe it, and muttered to himself: "They are all reading sage books." ”

Knowing the cicada with his hands together, he shook his head and said: "The abbot said that the heart ape is the most difficult to subdue, and how many senior brothers and elders in the temple are ruined by greed and hatred, and they can't extricate themselves from the hell of Anose." ”

Xiahou Chun approached, stared at the old man who had worked for Dajing for most of his life, and sighed lightly: "Old Ge, people's hearts will also change." ”

Chen Gong's old face declined, his momentum gradually declined, and after hanging his head for a long time, he raised his eyes to look at Xiahou Chun, "According to what you mean, the Du clan is also involved?" ”

After Xiahou Chunmo rubbed the hilt of the sword on his waist, he was silent for a long time, and then gently spit out an earth-shattering sentence: "I want to completely knock the Dao Gate into the dust, and Wei Du's position is very important. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence in the tent.

Even the noise outside the tent stopped abruptly.

Only the gusts of wind blew and blew, making people's cheeks cold.

Chen Gong was shocked and looked incredulous.

Tianxin Xing's eyes shrank suddenly, as if he knew Xiahou Chun for the first time.

The corners of the cicada's mouth twitched, and the crazy belly slandered the master, and he knew that you guy had a bad stomach.

In the name of beauty, it is said that going north to resist the clouds and pacify the Yan Realm, it turned out to be a plan of 'Ming Xiu Plank Road and secretly crossing Chen Cang'.

Murong Yan blinked his little eyes, as if a small star had emerged.

Brother Shi is really not an ordinary person, and he dares to risk the world's condemnation.

Chen Gong stared at Xiahou Chun and was silent for a long time.

He knew that the prince was unwilling to be subservient, how could he have expected to be so crazy.

Completely knocking the Daomen to the dust, this is something that even Emperor Taizong has never done.

After a while, he asked in a bitter voice, "Why is this so?" ”

Xiahou Chun's eyes were indifferent, he tapped the hilt of his sword lightly, and said lightly: "The situation of Dajing up and down, presumably the elder of the pavilion also knows that although the rule of the court officials will not completely collapse, it has long been corrupted by Xu Xiao and other high-ranking families to the point of nothing, class antagonism, strict gate valves, and the entire officialdom is like a pool of stagnant water. ”

He paused for a moment and said slowly: "And this is not the most critical, the biggest hidden danger is the Xuanmen Taoist sect headed by Xuanzong with ill intentions. At the beginning of the year, at the Great Court Meeting, Wei Boyu Wei Yushi reprimanded me for becoming a slave to the Dajing officials, which is not unreasonable. Since Dajing is broken at the root, it might as well be uprooted and done once and for all. ”

He raised his eyes, and under the strange eyes of Murong Yan and the others, he said in a rambling voice: "Killing the Song family, provoking the King of Jin, and plotting a palace change are all warnings from the huge interest group that is hidden in the deepest depths, and I am also telling them that the palace has already targeted them." ”

His eyes were sharp, his spirit was terrifying, and he said word by word: "Blood debts can only be repaid with blood." ”

"When they harmed my grandfather, I killed them; If they dig up my Dajing heritage, I will punish his whole clan. ”

"If you don't eradicate this tumor on Dajing's body, I will not give up!"

Xiahou Chun stood indifferently with his sword, his cold and arrogant eyes seemed to be looking down on all living beings, and his high head was raised slightly, as if he was contempt and disdain for that huge interest group.

Looking at Xiahou Chun, who showed a chilling murderous intent for the first time, Murong Yan was not alienated, but his apricot eyes shone brightly, although thousands of people were afraid of the past, this kind of heroic spirit of fighting for the people of the world, which woman in the world could be able to defeat it?

The cicada's eyes were slightly confused, and then he woke up, daring to die, the master was almost bewitched by this guy, Amitabha Buddha Amitabha, sinful and sinful.

Guo Rong's eyes flashed, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

After a long time, Chen Gong let out a long sigh, as if he was not very optimistic about Xiahou Chun's future moves.

After hesitating, he said: "Don't mention it from afar, the forces of the DPRK and China alone are intertwined, and the local interest groups in Zhuzhou and County are even more chaotic, and the involvement must not be one-size-fits-all, Your Highness, your top priority is to cultivate virtue and govern, and even you shouldn't come to this bitter cold place, not to mention that now there are many wars, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of falling. ”

Xiahou Chun said with a smile: "Don't you know what the kid is the elder of the Pavilion, if you can sit still, how can you go all the way north to Youyan?" ”

After Chen Gong was silent for a while, he said in a condensed voice: "Have you ever thought about how many people will die like this?" ”

After Xiahou Chun was silent for a while, he said slowly: "Long pain is better than short pain, after removing the carrion and scraping the bones to heal the wounds, you will be reborn in Nirvana." ”

No one knows how much bloody rain is hidden in these few words.

The old man stared at the young man in front of him, he didn't know if his choice today was correct, but he saw this son's determination, and he also saw the courage to 'swear to pull Xuanzong off the horse'.

This courage and determination, he had seen in a burly figure.

That man had suppressed an era.

But the crown prince in front of him is not that after all, he wants to catch up with that one, and there is still a long way to go.

He leaned back, leaning against the cold, hard cushion on his back, his eyes trembling.

It seemed difficult to choose, he took one last look at the cicada, and then asked Xiahou Chun meaningfully: "Isn't one Buddhist sect enough?" ”

The little monk's face sank, and he was unhappy, "Master Chen, this temple is only a cooperative relationship with him, not his eagle dog minions." ”

Chen Gong smiled apologetically, and after his cloudy gaze swept over Murong Yan and Tianxin, he paused slightly on the middle-aged swordsman, and finally took a deep look at Xiahou Chun.

Buddha Gate, Sword Gate, Ruthless Dao and the little saint of the Demon Gate, he smiled with relief, unconsciously, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gradually grasped the four major forces, and the momentum of the dragon was quite rudimentary, no wonder he dared to wave his knife at the Daomen.

But then the old man shook his head again and again, and sighed lightly: "But how can the majestic Dao Gate be so easy to be shaken? Even Emperor Taizong has not completely knocked down the Daomen to the altar, what can you do, Your Highness? ”

After Murong Yan glanced at Chen Gong carefully, he smiled gently, "If you don't do it, how do you know that it's impossible, the old-timers must not grow the ambition of others and destroy their own prestige." ”

Guo Rong said abruptly: "What about Xuanzong, this world is not just Xuanzong's family, not to mention that things in the world are changing, ghosts and gods are unpredictable, who can judge what the general trend of the world will be after a hundred years?" ”

His eyebrows were raised, as if he was exhorting and enlightened: "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, after all, it still depends on the sword in your hand." ”

He glanced at Chen Gong and said lightly: "Chen Ge is more than steady, but he is too forward-looking, although he has the intention of helping, he has no power to help the world, let alone the heart to move forward. ”

He turned his head to stare at Xiahou Chun, and said word by word: "If there are a thousand calamities, I will cut them with a sword." ”

"My generation of sword-bearers, kill all enemies!"

"What about Xuanzong, what about being too little, once you are an enemy, raise your sword to kill you!"

Everyone was shocked, deafening, and looked at Guo Rong speechless for a while.

Sword cultivators, aren't they all so crazy?

Regarding Guo Rong's refutation, Chen Gong smiled and didn't care.

He groaned slightly, but it's right to think about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a young man, it is normal to be young and vigorous, if he is not vigorous, is he still a young man?

What's more, he doesn't want the prince to have a twilight at a young age.

He sighed and sighed with emotion: "Count the romantic characters, and look at the present day, it seems that I am old." ”

Xiahou Chun smiled helplessly at Guo Rong, and hurriedly comforted Chen Gong and said, "The old man should be strong,"

He smiled and said softly: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." After all, Daomen is a mountain man, and fighting with the power of mortals is just a grasshopper shaking the tree after all. ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, his brows gradually furrowed, and he asked, "Do you want to use the power of the Heavenly Dome Pavilion?" ”

Xiahou Chun shook his head, "The Heavenly Dome Pavilion has long been infiltrated into a sieve, and it can't be used by me. ”

He immediately smiled and said, "What's more, if I want the Heavenly Dome Pavilion, my father won't necessarily give it to me." ”

"What about the Demon Hell?" Chen Gong wondered.

He still shook his head, "The one in the Demon Suppression Prison is uncertain, not to mention that no one knows his origin, and no one can control it except the old man." ”

Chen Gong smiled bitterly: "The old minister can't think of any other secretary in the court who can help His Highness fulfill his great wish." ”

Xiahou Chun smiled, his eyes were gloomy, and he spit out softly: "Haven't you forgotten the elder of the pavilion, Qin Tianjian?" ”

"Qin Tianjian?" Chen Gong was stunned, "Your Highness is talking about that Li Shenstick?" ”

Xiahou Chun said with a smile: "Exactly." ”

Chen Gong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The current supervisor of Qin Tianjian is called Li Alcohol, and he looks like a fairy wind bone, but that guy talks all day long, he can only do some astrological divination skills, and I have never heard of him being outstanding, let alone cultivating the Tao of Xuan Enlightenment, is His Highness wrong?" ”

Xiahou Chun smiled lightly and replied: "Don't hide it from the elder, I also learned from the mouth of the Jin Wangfu that this Li Jianzheng has indeed been hidden for many years. ”

The old man hesitated and said: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, Li Shenstick and I have known each other for many years, and he doesn't seem to have any other skills except astrology and divination. ”

Tianxin raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that Chen Ge looks down on the art of astrology and divination?" ”

Chen Gong rolled his eyes: "Then what do you say this thing does?" ”

It's not that Chen Gong deliberately belittled Li Alcohol, it's just that although he knows the Xuanmen Taoist School, he has never really seen ghosts and gods, not to mention that Li Alcohol has been nesting in Qin Tianjian for decades, waiting for those two or three big cats and kittens, dead or alive.

Moreover, since the death of Emperor Taizong, in the Dynasty of Emperor Hong, he has not participated in court politics for more than ten years, let alone revealed any amazing miracles, which makes Chen Gong believe that the old god stick can help the prince fight against the Daomen.

Isn't that a joke?

Xiahou Chun grabbed Tianxin, who was about to refute a few words, and smiled at Chen Gong: "Do you still remember Si Tiantai?" ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and said with a dumb smile: "How don't you remember, Si Tiantai is the predecessor of Qin Tianjian." ”

He replied angrily: "It was originally established during the period of Emperor Taizong, claiming to be in charge of the heavenly wheel, looking up at the heavens and all the stars, don't look at the gimmick so scary, in fact, it is to observe the weather of heaven and earth, calculate the solar terms, well, and help the emperor to take charge of the celestial ephemeris." ”

Xiahou Chun smiled, did not refute, and nodded slightly.

He said with some regret: "After Your Majesty ascended the throne, Si Tiantai was transferred to the Secretary Province, and after several splits, it became the current one. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to have an understanding, and looked at Xiahou Chun: "Why, could it be that this Qin Tianjian really still has capable people?" ”

He touched his chin, "Then why don't I feel it every time I go to Li Shenstick to brag?" ”

Xiahou Chun was helpless, Tianxin's face was a little pale, she didn't mean to target the old man in front of her, she was just a little resentful of his 'blindness'.

In fact, Chen Gong really underestimated this astrological technique, which is the supreme method passed down from the ancestor of the Daomen, and the merit is the greatest achievement, the upper can know the principle of the operation of the Heavenly Dao, and the lower can predict the good fortune and evil, which can be called holding the door of life and death.

In the Daomen, the art of astrology and divination is called the 'Four Great Methods' together with the alchemy of the Danding School, the talisman of the Fu Sect and the ancient Qi Practice, and it is also the most mysterious secret art among the four major methods.

It's just that with Taiwei and other Shangqing Danding factions in charge of Xuanzong and commanding the world's Taoist sects, they actually denounced astrology and divination from the 'upper nine streams' to the 'middle nine streams', and Danqing, Qin Qi, and witch doctors, and with the change of the times, the descendants of this lineage have gradually disappeared, except for the fortune tellers and divination stalls in the streets and alleys, there is no real astrologer in the world.

Murong Yan was curious and asked, "Dare to ask Elder Chen Ge, since you have a very good relationship with that Li Jianzheng, have you heard what shocking words from his mouth?" ”

The old man fell into deep thought, shook his head and said, "There are no shocking words, it's just that when I met Taizong, the old monk of the Floating Sky Temple said a word. ”

Speaking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Xiahou Chun, and his eyes became more and more gentle.

Tianxin, who was listening attentively next to him, raised his eyebrows and said, "But the words of 'Dajing will prosper in the fifth generation'?" ”

Murong Yan smiled lightly, and small dimples appeared on his cheeks.

Xiahou Chun was helpless, slightly proud in his heart, but quickly shook off this thought, isn't it obvious?

When he comes, Dajing will naturally prosper for thousands of years.

Chen Gong bowed his head slightly, "Not bad." ”

He said softly: "After His Majesty Taizong heard this, he turned his head and asked Li Shenguo: Is this really the case? ”

Xiahou Chun's eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "I don't know how Supervisor Li answered?" ”

Seeing that a few people were concentrating and curious, the old man shook his head and said, "The old minister doesn't know." ”

The cicada looked displeased: "I don't know? What do you mean by not knowing? ”

Chen Gong sighed lightly: "Because when Li Shenzhu was about to speak, he was stopped by His Majesty Taizong. ”

Tianxin pouted, and suddenly felt tasteless.

"But..."

The old man leisurely fished their appetite.

Murong Yan couldn't help but ask, "But what?" ”

Chen Gong smiled at Murong Yan: "However, His Majesty Taizong has privately praised that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks like him. ”

He said meaningfully: "And the future crown princess must also be a beautiful and graceful granddaughter-in-law, which is enough to be a mother in the world." ”

Murong Yan immediately lowered his head to his chest, and made a big red face, like a ripe peach.

The old man's face turned straight, and he said to Xiahou Chun: "Your Highness is sure that Li Shenzhu can do it?" ”

After a moment of deep groaning, Xiahou Chun replied, "Can Elder Ge help me introduce Li Jianzheng?" ”

Chen Gong waved his hand: "That guy has eaten, slept and slept all day long, what kind of introduction is it to talk about, isn't it okay to call him directly to Youzhou?" ”

Xiahou Chun was helpless, hesitated, and didn't know how to speak.

After glancing at Xiahou Chun next to him, Murong Yan smiled at Chen Gongyan: "Senior, you and that Li Jianzheng have a good relationship, naturally no one can compare, but the world brother used to be hindered by his identity, he had a lot of scruples, and he couldn't behave intimately with the ministers, and asked the seniors to help write a letter, hoping that Li Jianzheng could see it, but please also remember that the seniors only need to mention that the letter is to talk about friendship with you, and there is no need to mention the world brother." ”

She smiled gently and said sincerely: "Whether this matter is successful or not, this kindness will be remembered by the world brother." ”

The old man came to his senses and said, "It's still Miss Murong who thinks thoughtfully." ”

There may not be anything wrong with contacting the ministers of the DPRK and China for the crown prince, but now he is the assassin of Shuozhou, and he is also in charge of the 10,000 border army, and he is undoubtedly guilty of colluding with the ministers of the DPRK and China.

If you go to the crown prince a little more, if you are used by someone with a heart, the dismissal will be light, and if you can't keep it, you will participate in a plot against him.

Thinking of this, Chen Gong broke out in a cold sweat, and there was something more in his eyes when he looked at Murong Yan, and his tone became more and more gentle, even he didn't feel it, and unconsciously there was a trace of humility: "Miss Murong, don't worry, the old minister will arrange it properly." ”

Xiahou Chun glanced at Murong Yan unexpectedly, the other party smiled lightly, and couldn't help it, he patted the other party's wrist.

Seeing that the prince did not shy away from it, Chen Gong showed a pleased smile on his face, and the queen mother had not heard from her for many years, so the prince had been lonely since he was a child, and he was suppressed and assassinated by the Wanning Palace many times, and it was not easy to survive intact to this day, and now there is finally someone by his side.

Xiahou Chun asked again: "By the way, does the elder know what parts Si Tiantai was divided into?" ”

After the old man pondered for a while, he replied: "In addition to changing the name of Si Tiantai to Qin Tianjian, he also abolished many institutions, but the old minister heard that it seemed to retain the two places of 'Chongxuan Pavilion' and 'Guandao Tower' back then, but except for the people in the palace, these two places are unheard of in the court, and their reputation is not obvious and they are nameless. ”

He hesitated, "But back then, there was a little Si Li named Cheng Wei in the Si Tiantai, who had appeared before driving, and the rest didn't know." ”

Xiahou Chun's heart jumped, and he squinted and said, "Cheng Wei? ”

In the list given to him by Song Xi, Cheng Wei was among them.

He hurriedly asked, "Does Elder Ge know where this Cheng Wei is now?" ”
