Chapter 18: Untitled
The night has fallen, but man has not yet slept.
Dragon Emperor City looked at the training ground with serious eyes, and the housekeeper Lao Fan said in a downward voice: "Master, it's ready." ”
"Old Fan, you said I did this, right? ”
Lao Fan smiled and said, "Master, I don't know, I don't know anything since I followed you at the age of sixteen." ”
"Haha, yes, if you count it, it must be more than forty years. ”
"Forty-eight years. ”
Dragon Emperor City smiled bitterly: "Yes, forty-eight years have passed in one fell swoop. ”
When the Zhao family received the edict, Zhao Duo looked at Zhao Suixin, who was bowing his head and making tea, and said, "Xin'er, since you came back from the Long family, you haven't said anything, what's wrong." ”
After gently pouring out the first cup of tea, Zhao said slowly: "Grandpa, it's nothing, the emperor issued an edict late at night, what is this for?"
Zhao Duo stroked his beard and let out a sigh of relief: "Who knows, even you can't guess the emperor's thoughts." ”
Zhao Suixin didn't answer, just smiled slightly, and gently poured two cups of hot tea in the teapot, and the tea leaves floated and sank in the cup, slowly floating and sinking, one at a time.
"Minister, take the order. After Chang Gonggong handed over the holy decree in his hand to the Dragon Emperor City, he said softly: "Old lady Long, the emperor asked the old slave to send you a message: It's late at night, it's time to sleep, the capital is also quite buried, it's enough to clean it, don't let the emperor be too sad tomorrow." ”
Although the Dragon Emperor City understood in his heart, he asked knowingly: "The old minister doesn't understand, please let my father-in-law make it clear." ”
"The old lady dragon doesn't know, and the old slave doesn't know. Father-in-law Chang said with a smile, "The old slave will retire." After speaking, Grandpa Chang left the Long family with the two little eunuchs behind him.
"Father..."
"You and I understand the emperor's words, fourth, take your third brother back to the room. ”
"Yes. After hearing this, Long Langtian pushed Long Madtian, who had just said a word, and left the lobby.
Butler Lao Fan stretched out his hand and pulled a crimson silk thread behind the chair of the Grand Master of the Dragon Emperor City, and the piercing bell rang in the Long family compound; But he won't stop what Dragon Emperor City wants to do, of course, he himself will follow! No complaints, no regrets, just because Dragon Emperor City wants to do it.
Upstairs, in two different rooms, Long Madtian and Long Langtian were silent. Long Langtian was writing something with a brush in the room, his demeanor was rigorous, and he was not slack. And Long Madtian's two sword eyebrows were frowning, and there was only a thick murderous aura between his eyebrows.
Downstairs, dark people came from all directions, standing quietly in five rows, standing in the courtyard. His eyes calmly looked at the Dragon Emperor City that was ready to go, no matter what the Dragon Emperor City wanted to do, these people would follow it until ...... Forever.
The power of the Long family's snow hiding is far more than that!
The old man dragon stepped forward and said a few words in a low voice, in the shadows, the ghost-like figure suddenly disappeared like a tide, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
......
Standing silently for a while, facing the fresh night breeze, he took a long breath, and the Dragon Emperor City only felt that the smell of dust had choked into his heart! The rest of the crowd was silent, and they all mounted their horses and followed him. The sound of hooves faded away, and finally it was not heard.
......
The neat steps of the soldiers of the Long family were like a landslide and the earth cracked in the capital.
"Li Hengyi is here!"
"Here!"
"Order you to lead people to guard the east gate, and all those who go out of the city will be decided!"
"Ryuzhi!"
"In!"
"Defend the West Gate!"
"East Gate ......"
"North Gate ......"
Tonight, the capital is in chaos!
Li Hongrui did not sleep, although he was very calm on the surface, but he was very nervous inside. Li Hongrui ascended the throne at the age of 21, and after taking the throne, he first carried out reforms, raising the domestic economy to a new height, but Li Hongrui did not dare to move the family in the capital. Although Li Hongrui was reassured before the death of the first emperor, Li Hongrui was still unsure.
Because, the Taizu of the Li Tang Empire ascended to the throne through rebellion.
"I need a degree, and if I get out of this degree, I will never recover. Marshal Long, although I am letting you be presumptuous once, I also want to borrow a sword! The situation is more chaotic, the more chaotic it is, the more beneficial it will be to me......" The emperor muttered to himself, and a meaningful smile suddenly flashed across his face.
......
After the Long family's home will come out of the Tang family, what will be left behind is the devastated Tang family's house, and the matter will go back to the Dragon Emperor City and the Long family's family will go out. In the first step, Dragon Emperor City came to the Zhao family.
"Who are you and what are you going to do?" the Zhao family's guard asked anxiously. Looking at the neat pace of the Long family's generals, anyone will be stunned.
"A Yuan Mengguo assassin infiltrated the capital, and the old man came to search to see if anyone was harboring the Qin criminals. Dragon Emperor City sat on his horse and said majestically.
The guard didn't know the Dragon Emperor City, and said rudely: "I don't care who you are, this is the Zhao family, acquaintances, leave quickly." ”
Dragon Emperor City's face was straight, and he said fiercely: "Someone hindered the old man from searching for the assassin and making a decision." With that, the two generals with spears did not hesitate to plunge their spears into the guards' chests. The guard lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, he didn't understand, those who dared to kill people in Zhao's house were really not afraid of death?
After the Dragon Emperor City connived at his subordinates to kill one person, he used his aura and shouted loudly with his daily spiritual cultivation: "The people to whom the Zhao family belongs, all the marshals come out, assassins appear in the capital, and the whole city will search for them!"
"Hehe, who am I, it turned out to be Brother Long coming, it really makes the contemptible house shine. Taifu Zhao Duo smiled kindly and came out of the lobby, taking three steps and two steps, as if he had reunited with his long-lost brother.
Dragon Emperor City's face was full of seriousness, and said: "Taifu Zhao, today Marshal Ben learned the news that the assassins of the Yuanmeng Kingdom infiltrated the capital and wanted to plot to kill the emperor, where the obligation lies, the assassins must be searched, if there is any offense, please forgive me!"
"Slow!" Zhao Duo's white beard fluttered, stepped forward, his originally gentle expression suddenly changed, and he pointed to the dead corpse on the ground and said loudly: "Old lady Long, although you are the marshal of the empire, you also have responsibilities, but come to my Zhao family to kill my family first, and then want to search for it, the old man is the first master of the dynasty, if there is no emperor's will, who dares to be presumptuous?!"
Dragon Emperor Cheng sneered, the original trace of exhaustion in his eyes suddenly became huge, and he said slowly: "What Taifu means, does it mean that a high-ranking and powerful official has the right to harbor assassins? It is said that the scoundrel of Dragon Emperor City has a bit of imagination with Long Qi.
Zhao Duo suddenly trembled with anger, and shouted: "Dragon Emperor City, you are so unscrupulous and act beyond your authority, do you really want to rebel!?"
"Hehe, Mrs. Zhao is serious. Dragon Emperor Cheng smiled and said, "This duke's trip is only to search for the assassin, where is the power overstep? Where is the unscrupulous? Where is there about to rebel! Taifu has repeatedly obstructed the search of this duke, is it really related to the assassin?!" But he ignored him again and waved his hand to order the soldiers to search faster.
At this moment, a young man in white stood up with a smile, it was the second son, Zhao Suixin.
I saw him respectfully salute the Dragon Emperor City and said, "Old lady Long, the younger generation is polite." Old Lady Long was ordered to search, of course the Zhao family did not dare to disobey, and asked where did Old Lady Long get the news that the assassin was in the Zhao family's mansion. ”
Dragon Emperor City looked coldly at the young man in front of him who behaved elegantly, Zhao Duo's grandson, so scheming, why was my grandson remembered by everyone, and even repeatedly poisoned! Thinking of this, the angry Old Man Long asked coldly: "How are you doing? If you don't owe it, you can't do it?"
Zhao Suixin's eyes froze after listening, and his right hand unconsciously touched the beaten cheek, Zhao Duo saw it, and knew that his grandson was suffering a big loss, so he said loudly but weakly: "Get out of the way, let him search! If you can't find the assassin, the old man Long, tomorrow Jinluan Palace, the old man, see if your old man is still so hard!" Zhao Duo waved his hand coldly, turned around with his sleeves, sat under a flower tree, closed his eyes, and remained still, Zhao Suixin saw that his grandfather had given up, so he followed him to the tree and closed his eyes together.
Dragon Emperor City laughed and waved his hand: "Search carefully for the old man! Don't let go of any mosquito! Don't let go of a mosquito!" All the soldiers behind him agreed in unison, and rushed in viciously.
In an instant, the entire Zhao family mansion fell into an unprecedented "disaster", the cracking sound of the vase and the sound of the inkstone falling to the ground formed a unified symphony: bang, bang, bang.
After a while, a small soldier stepped forward and said loudly to the Dragon Emperor City: "Report to the marshal, no suspicious characters have been found!"
Dragon Emperor Cheng scolded, "Could it be that the assassins will fly away, close the team, and go to other places to see!" With that, Dragon Emperor City turned around and went out with all the soldiers, turned over on his horse, and left the Zhao family with a bang.
The Zhao family who stayed behind looked at the houses that looked like slums, and they really wanted to cry without tears, Zhao Suixin said fiercely: "Grandpa, the old man has gone too far, and he will definitely sue him tomorrow, otherwise the Zhao family will lose face!"
"No, this is in line with the temper of the old man Long, although the Long family is about to decline, but if the Dragon Emperor City does not die for a day, he will protect the Long family. Besides, I'm afraid it's not just the Zhao family who will lose face today!"
Zhao asked casually: "What do you say?"
"Except for the Zhao family, he must go to the Zhang family, the Hou family and the like, the head of each family can't stop this old scoundrel, so every family will lose face!"
"Then didn't he offend all the families in Dragon Emperor City, isn't he afraid that all the people will join him?"
"No, that guy won't give those great Confucians a chance," Zhao Duo looked at the crescent moon in the sky and said, "What's more, the emperor won't allow it." ”
Zhao Suixin lowered his head, as if he was thoughtful, as if he understood what he was thinking.
