Ying Tianfu, the Forbidden City.

The splendor of the palace lamp wall at night, if it is not for the faint emanation of a touch of solemnity, it can be described as quiet and peaceful.

The Wuying Palace, which is the emperor's place of governance, is even brighter.

In the temple.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty is flipping through the chapters of recent days.

After a moment, he frowned, a little disgusted by the lack of light, and raised a spiritual lamp in front of him.

At this point, he furrowed his brow and continued to read the fold in his hand.

After reading the recital, he silently recited the words of the Heroes Monument in his heart, and said with great appreciation: "This Ye Yu is brave and strategic, which is really rare." ”

Yun Qi, the chief eunuch of the Inner History Supervisor who was waiting on the side, laughed and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is majestic and strategic, and there are many talents under his rule. Your Majesty only needs a piece of imperial order, and such talents will come as soon as they are summoned......"

Zhu Yuanzhang's tiger eyes swept away, and Yun Qi was suddenly shocked as if he was on the edge of the abyss.

Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his gaze and said coldly: "I have heard too many good words, and it is easy to be earbroken!" ”

Hearing this, Yunqi immediately knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly: "The slave is indeed moved. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been strict with the management of internal servants, and even explicitly ordered eunuchs not to meddle in political affairs.

At this time, Yun Qi's words somewhat violated Zhu Yuanzhang's taboo.

Zhu Yuanzhang had something in his heart, so he didn't care about this, and waved it: "Let's get up, go and call Mao Xiang." ”

Yun Qi, who had been granted amnesty, hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and then hurriedly left the palace and went to the martial arts tower not far away.

Mao Xiang, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, has been stationed in the martial arts building by the Wuying Hall for the past few days since the prince was trapped in the Jiayu stronghold.

He was processing the latest information when he heard a waiter shouting outside the building.

"Commander Mao, Your Majesty announces your visit!"

Hearing this, he hurriedly got up and walked out of the martial tower, and when he saw that it was the great eunuch Yun Qi, he asked with a smile on his face, "Gonggong Yun, how is Your Majesty in the mood?" ”

Yun Qi had a cold face, did not answer, waved his hand and said: "Please also ask Commander Mao to leave, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time." ”

Seeing this, Mao Xiang secretly pouted, this old man must have been reprimanded by His Majesty.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Mao Xiang enter the palace, so he asked, "Where is the prince's journey?" ”

Mao Xiang bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the prince has arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, and he will be able to arrive in Beijing in two days." ”

Putting down the twists and turns, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang sharply, and asked in a cold voice: "Has the matter of the dragon's violent death been found out?" ”

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the key person in this matter is the Jinyi Guard, and the slave has the crime of lax royal majesty, so I implore Your Majesty to surrender the crime! Hearing this, Mao Xiang hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted the imperial case and said in an unkind tone: "Get up!" I want results, not your head. ”

Mao Xiang got up slowly, and said in his heart: If you don't have the results of the investigation that you are satisfied with, you will not want my head.

He thought carefully in his heart, and replied with the same expression on his face: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" The slave found out that the person who protected the beast was Hu Weibiao, the deputy of Lingwu Guan, and it was ......"

At this, he closed his mouth, his face full of hesitation.

"Go on!"

"Yes...... It is the younger brother of Hu Weiyong, the left prime minister. ”

"Huh?"

"According to the report of the Jinyi Wei who was installed in the Hu Mansion, Hu Xiang and King Yan have been getting closer recently."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was flat, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Continue to investigate." ”

Mao Xiang was a little confused, he still didn't understand what he said? What else is this checking? Zha Yan Wang or Zha Hu Xiang?

Seeing his confused expression, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Hmph! You're a dog too? Think about it with your brain. ”

The emperor said that to this extent, he was already very dissatisfied with him.

Mao Xiang's head suddenly broke out in a fine sweat, and he stammered back: "Slave... The minion is going to check... Find out. ”

After speaking, he looked up and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was picking up the fold and looking at it, so he bowed down and withdrew from the Wuying Palace.

After Mao Xiang left the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a cold look, and several names flashed in his mind.

After a while, he shouted angrily, "I want to see who is behind this scene, and I dare to use my son as a layout." ”

At this time, a middle-aged Taoist priest walked out of the screen at the back of the hall, he walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this matter should have nothing to do with that person, the traces in it are too deep, and it is not like that person's technique." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang eased his senses, nodded in agreement: "Senior brother is right!" ”

This Taoist priest is Xi Yingzhen, who worshiped with Zhu Yuanzhang in his early years under the father of Ye Tianhao, the prince of Lingguo.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang call him senior brother, Xi Yingzhen said with a gentle expression: "Your Majesty......"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and interrupted: "There is no one around, senior brother just call me junior brother." ”

Xi Yingzhen smiled and said, "Over the years, there have been only you and me, Senior Brother Ye and Senior Brother Huayun left under the Master's Sect, I don't think Senior Brother Ye will ...... it."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped down from the dragon chair and slowly came to him, his face full of memories.

He sighed and said leisurely: "Back then, the master had the grace of life for me, and I really didn't want to see Tianhao go to ......."

Xi Yingzhen's face changed when he saw this, and he hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty is too worried, the Spirit Department is going to be taken over by this Dao, Ye... Ye Guogong categorically would not be hated because of this. ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang restrained his warmth, and said with an uncertain expression on his face: "I hope so!" Then the conversation changed and said: "The next war in Western Xinjiang will be presided over by you." ”

Xi Yingzhen replied: "When the prince returns to Beijing, this road will set off immediately." ”

Sitting back on the dragon chair, Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "The war is handed over to Deng Yu, you must take back the Kunlun artifact." ”

Hearing this, Xi Yingzhen nodded and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Jiayu stronghold.

At night, the lights in the residence were dim, and the only bright hall was in Ye Yu's house.

At this time, he was sweating profusely, and his expression was so painful that his face was hideous.

He pressed his hands to his brain, intending to soothe the stinging pain in his brain, while struggling to gather his scattered consciousness and hold on to the platform.

But when the chaotic spiritual consciousness raged again, the last trace of his consciousness was instantly extinguished.

"Phew!"

At this moment, a coquettish voice sounded in Ye Yu's mind, which immediately made him clear.

"Hold Yuan Shouyi and lead the spirit into the sea!"

The delicate sound sounded in his head, and Ye Yu instantly understood the meaning.

He immediately cleared out distractions and calmed his mind. At the same time, the spiritual veins are stimulated, and the majestic spiritual power is input into the mind.

"Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! ”

A moment later, Ye Yu's mind was buzzing, and the raging spiritual sense suddenly settled down.

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and used his mind to gather and compress the scattered spiritual consciousness, and in an instant, the spiritual consciousness was formed.

He smiled and let his sense out.

Suddenly, in the space of more than ten meters around him, everything appeared clearly in his mind.

The owner of that delicate voice was naturally also in his spiritual perception.

He hurriedly got up and saluted the man through the door: "Thank you girl for saving me!" ”

The girl outside the door was dressed in a white dress, hidden in the night sky and did not mean to appear.

Just when Ye Yu wanted to ask her name, the girl in white suddenly disappeared into his spiritual sense.

After a while, an ethereal voice came: "Your opportunity is in Kunlun Mountain, don't miss the opportunity." ”
