In the lobby of the Pacification Division,

There was silence.

After a long time, Lin Mang put down his pen, looked at Wang Dasheng who was kneeling in the hall, and said, "Get up." ”

"It's just an envoy from Dongying, there's nothing to plead on."

Hearing this, Wang Dasheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a brocade guard outside came and arched his hand: "My lord, the palace summons, please come to the banquet." ”

"To a feast?" Lin Mang was surprised: "Do you know what kind of banquet it is?" ”

The Jinyi guard who came said respectfully: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to invite the envoys of Dongying and the hundred officials. ”

Lin Mang bowed slightly, then looked at Wang Dasheng, waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”

After packing up briefly, changing clothes, and rushing to the palace.

At this moment, outside the palace gate, there were constantly horse-drawn carriages stopping, and hundreds of officials walked down from them.

Some people saluted Lin Mang, while others snorted coldly and left directly.

Lin Mang was already surprised by this.

There are many officials in the DPRK and China who want to let themselves die, and it is not normal if they are kind to themselves.

Just as he was about to enter the palace gate, an urgent shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Lord Lin, wait!"

As the words fell, a middle-aged man in armor came quickly.

The man had a heroic air between his eyebrows, an inky armor, and a long sword hanging from his waist.

"Lord Lin!"

The person who came arched his hand and said with a smile: "Jinwu avant-garde Liang Yongxin!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Mang smiled and arched his hand: "I've seen Commander Liang!" ”

It turned out to be his nominal boss.

However, although he is his top boss, with his current status, in terms of status, he is far higher than the commander of the first guard.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Liang Yongxin smiled: "Lord Lin should be going to the banquet, right?" ”

Lin Mang nodded.

Liang Yongxin said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then Liang will not delay Lord Lin, and if there is a chance, Liang will invite Lord Lin to drink again." ”

Lin Mang smiled and arched his hand: "Then Lin will be disrespectful." ”

There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, just know what both sides know.

Liang Yongxin made it clear that he was here to show his goodwill.

Seeing Lin Mang leave, Liang Yongxin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Behind him, a soldier whispered, "My lord, this one seems to be quite easy to get along with." ”

"Easy to get along with?" Liang Yongxin chuckled: "Maybe." ”

Is it really easy to get along with the family and the clan at every turn?

In fact, he had already had the idea of meeting Lin Mang.

It's just that because of his identity, it's not easy to come forward.

It's not a coincidence today, it's just that he's waiting here.

"Let's go!"

Liang Yongxin chuckled lightly and led a group of personal soldiers to continue the patrol.

……

Lin De Hall,

The entire hall is full of hundreds of officials at this moment.

On one side sat the officials of the imperial court, and on the other side were the envoys of Dongying.

Those who can participate in such banquets must be officials of the fourth rank or above, and they are all important ministers of the court.

Some of the courtiers whispered.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of surging footsteps outside the hall.

Brush!

Many people subconsciously looked out of the hall.

I saw a little eunuch bending over and leading a person towards the hall very respectfully.

Dressed in a dark red flying fish suit, with a tall figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he slowly walked towards him with an indifferent expression.

The long-term killing made Lin Mang develop a bad spirit.

is a person who practices martial arts, and he is a great master, and the momentum that he inadvertently exudes is enough to make people feel frightened.

Everyone looked strange and looked at each other silently.

Some people have a cooler look in their eyes.

Everyone was shocked that this person would actually attend the banquet.

In the past, even if you needed Jinyi Wei to go to the banquet, it should be Yuan Changqing.

The little eunuch led Lin Mang to sit down in a seat.

As soon as Lin Mang entered the door, a trace of imperceptible killing intent flashed in the eyes of Fujitang Gaohu.

His plan in Jiangnan was bad in the hands of this person.

If it weren't for that, the treasures of Jiangnan would have been transported back to China by him.

Just as everyone's hearts were thinking, the sharp voice of the eunuch suddenly sounded outside the hall:

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

For a while, everyone stood up and saluted.

Zhu Yijun slowly walked into the hall, sat on the dragon chair, and said calmly: "Get up." ”

As everyone got up, the eunuchs outside the hall began to serve the food.

It's just that at this kind of banquet, these meals are just decorations, and few people really dare to move quickly.

Except for the emperor who can move a few times, the rest of the people can only watch.

Most of the officials came when they were full-fed.

Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair, overlooking everyone, and chuckled: "Today's banquet is to celebrate the addition of another great master to my Ming Dynasty, and to welcome all the envoys from Dongying. ”

As soon as the words fell, the vine hall Gaohu on the seat left the seat, bowed slightly, and said in a loud voice: "The great tomorrow is above, our lord has admired the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and now I am specially sent to come, and I am willing to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty forever, and serve the Ming Dynasty as the kingdom and pay tribute from generation to generation." ”

Zhu Yijun was full of smiles.

In any case, during his tenure, he can make foreign countries submit, and it will be a strong stroke in the history books.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have set up a banquet in the Lin De Palace.

After Fujido Gaohu finished speaking, he quickly presented a letter of state.

Cao Zhengchun, who was standing next to Zhu Yijun, gave a eunuch a look, and soon a eunuch took the credentials.

After Cao Zhengchun took the credentials and confirmed that they were correct, they were transferred to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun glanced at it and handed it to Cao Zhengchun again.

At this time, the vine hall Gao Hu who was standing in the hall suddenly said: "The great tomorrow is above, and this time my country pays tribute, and I will present three gifts." ”

Zhu Yijun smiled: "I don't know what kind of gift it is?" ”

Fujitang Gaohu bowed slightly and said loudly: "One of them is Meiji, the first beauty in my country. ”

Zhu Yijun's expression moved slightly, and he said with interest: "Bring it to the hall." ”

A faint smile flashed in Fujido Gaohu's eyes.

On the seat on the right, Lin Mang held the knife in one hand, looked at Fujitang Gaohu with an indifferent expression, and took in his expression.

In front of a great grandmaster who was proficient in spiritual power, all this seemed too clumsy.

Soon, a woman walked slowly outside the hall.

Dressed in a long white dress, her face is veiled, and she can't see her face clearly, but her eyes are like foxes, which are seductive.

There was a faint smell in the air.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were almost attracted by this figure.

Lin Mang's brows furrowed slightly.

The woman walked to the hall, saluted Zhu Yijun, bowed and said, "Meet the great tomorrow." ”

Zhu Yijun glanced up and down and bowed slightly.

A beauty indeed.

Fujitang Gaohu smiled without a trace, and said in a deep voice: "This is the first gift that our lord has given to the great tomorrow. ”

"The second gift is a rare thing, which our lord has acquired by chance."

"Please allow your subordinates to take them to the temple."

"Accurate!"

Soon, a Dongying man came with a cage.

Seeing the things in the cage, everyone was surprised and puzzled.

The creature in the cage was less than a foot long, resembling a tanuki, with an earthy yellow body and three tails on its back.

Fujitang Gaohu stretched out his hand and said, "This is my Dongying Divine Beast, which can naturally control sand and soil, which is very magical. ”

As he spoke, he gave a look to a person next to him.

Seeing this, the Dongying people who were carrying the cage blew the flute in their hands.

The next moment, a cloud of sand in the cage levitated, rapidly transforming in the air.

Zhu Yijun chuckled and said, "This little thing is interesting. ”

Fujido Takatora had a smile on his face.

Lord Toyotomi is right, as long as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty indulges in beauty and fun, it will be much easier for them to capture the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Zhu Yijun became interested for a while, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what this third piece is?" ”

Fujitang Gaohu bowed slightly and said, "This third piece is an ancient fragment map. ”

After a pause, Fujitang Gaohu looked up at Zhu Yijun, but what he said surprised everyone present.

"Legend has it that the land marked on this fragment map records the method of immortality."

Rumble!

It was like a thunderclap on a sunny day.

There was a bang in everyone's minds.

Zhu Yijun's eyes were slightly downcast, and his hand on the table was slightly clenched.

Lin Mang's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

Phoenix!

This is something that no one can avoid, especially for the emperor.

No one thinks they're living too long.

All along, Zhu Yijun has been sending people from Dongchang to find things to prolong his life.

Even if the elixir refined with Pixiu's blood could only prolong its life by five years.

The last time the Immortal Seeker asked was Jiajing, and he failed.

It is precisely because of Jiajing's failure that Wanli will not seek immortals and ask, but collect methods for prolonging life.

Now that there is a fragment map that records the law of immortality, will Wanli be tempted?

If Wanli really did this, it would inevitably cost huge manpower and material resources.

It will even provoke a backlash from the court.

Sinister intentions!

"Nonsense!"

As soon as the words fell, on the first seat at the front, an elegant-looking old man stood up and said coldly: "There is no way to live forever in this world. ”

"Your Majesty, don't be fooled by this person's rumors!"

The person who stood up was none other than Shen Shixing, the head of the cabinet.

As the current head of the cabinet, Shen Shixing has always been very low-key.

Or rather, his predecessor was so dazzling that he had no sense of existence.

But after all, he is the first assistant of the dynasty, a veteran-level figure.

He can indulge the emperor to enjoy beauty, and even acquiesce to the emperor's absence from the court for many days, but he must not let him indulge in asking for immortals.

When Shen Shixing got up, a group of officials also got up to echo him.

Some of the officials were ready to admonish with death.

During the Hongwu period, the post of speech official was set up, which was originally intended to open up the way of speech and advise the emperor.

Anyone who serves as a speech official is a group of people who are not afraid of death.

But with the evolution, the position of spokesperson has long lost its original meaning.

These people regard "carrying the coffin and admonishing the dead" as the highest glory, and their daily task is to change the law of the emperor.

Today's scene gave them hope again.

The name of the history is close at hand!

Zhu Yijun's eyes were slightly heavy, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Humph!"

Zhu Yijun snorted coldly, directly ignored the hundred officials, and said, "Send this picture up." ”

Lin Mang glanced at everyone imperceptibly, and then fixed his gaze on Fujitang Gaohu.

A faint spiritual power emanated, and the target was directed at the tanuki in the temple.

Suddenly, the caged tanuki let out a high-pitched hiss.

The piercing sound seemed to tear the air violently, making the eardrums hurt.

The raccoon cat in the cage bared its teeth and roared, the hair on its whole body stood up one by one, and its eyes exuded a fierce aura.

"Peng!"

The cage that imprisoned it shattered, and the raccoon cat in the cage suddenly rushed out.

Everyone in the audience was shocked.

Zhu Yijun also showed a shocked face, and subconsciously leaned his back on the chair.

Suddenly, an angry shout sounded: "Escort! ”

"You're so daring!"

"How dare you attempt to attack and kill the Holy One!"

Lin Mang stepped out in one step, his hand stretched out like a dragon exploring the sea, exuding majestic might.

In an instant, an unrivaled oppressive force enveloped down.

The tanuki who had just jumped into the air was grabbed by Lin Mang's hand, and his five fingers were slightly forced, and the tanuki's head was instantly shattered.

Lin Mang's eyes widened, and he stared at Fujitang Gaohu with eagle-like eyes, and there seemed to be a whirlpool in his eyes.

Change the heavens and the earth and strike the spiritual Dafa!

Fascination!

The two spiritual exercises work at the same time.

"Say!"

"What do you want to do when you enter Beijing this time?"

Lin Mang's expression was cold, and there was even more murderous intent in his eyes.

This group of Dongying people entered Beijing with sinister intentions, and if they are not resolved, they may not know what will happen.

Fujitang Gaohu soon lost his child's light, his eyes were distracted, his heart sank, and he laughed and said: "Haha, of course confuse the Ming Emperor!" ”

"When that foolish emperor indulges in beauty and immortality, it will be the time for us to conquer this fertile land."

Quiet......

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Falling pins can be heard!

Zhu Yijun's expression was gloomy, and his cold eyes stared at Fujitang Gaohu.

The Dongying woman standing on the side was stunned for a while, her eyes full of astonishment and horror.

Lin Mang slowly withdrew his spiritual power.

Fujitang Gaohu's expression flickered for a moment, and he reacted reluctantly, noticing Zhu Yijun's cold face, and his face changed greatly.

"Your Majesty, everything just now is not what I said......"

"Enough!"

Zhu Yijun said coldly: "Come on, drag them down and behead them!" ”

Today's banquet made him lose face.

Courtiers, foreign envoys......

One by one, none of them pleased him.

He is a great tomorrow, how can he tolerate such calculations by others.

Whatever the truth, when Fujido Takatora said that sentence, the end was already doomed.

What's more, one side is Jinyiwei, and the emperor's trust must be Jinyiwei.

Outside the hall, several soldiers in armor burst in.

Seeing this, Fujido Gaohu suddenly laughed arrogantly: "Haha! ”

"Emperor Ming, that's it!"

As soon as the words fell, Fujitang Gaohu directly killed Lin Mang, his face full of killing intent.

Lin Mang pointed out.

The fingers were as strong as the wind, and instantly pierced through the heart of Fujido Gaohu.

Fujido Gaohu's eyes widened with rage, and he slowly fell.

Zhu Yijun no longer had the intention of eating, so he got up and threw his sleeves and left.

Cao Zhengchun followed behind Zhu Yijun and glanced at Lin Mang deeply before leaving.

Lin Mang's expression was calm.

Everyone present, if anyone finds out, it must be Cao Zhengchun.

But there is no conclusive evidence for this kind of thing, and it is useless to say it.

Even if Cao Zhengchun complained to the emperor, he was suspected of framing.

It's not a day or two since Dongchang and Jinyiwei don't deal with each other.

With the departure of the emperor, the banquet also came to an end.

The officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

For the first time, everyone thought that this butcher was so pleasing to the eye.

The emperor is just slacking off in government, if he is obsessed with beauty and asking for immortals, he will never want to see it.

With the death of Fujitang Gaohu, the people he brought with him were inevitably eliminated.

Lin Mang stepped out of the Lin De Palace, summoned the Jinyi Guard, and directly launched a purge on the troops of the Tengtang High Tiger.

……

Three hours later,

Lin Mang walked into the Wuying Hall with his sword.

Zhu Yijun sat behind the book, looking calm, but there were vase fragments sprinkled on the ground.

Lin Mang bowed: "See the saint." ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Lin Mang and said calmly: "It's all solved?" ”

Lin Mang said calmly: "The traitors have all been punished!" ”

Zhu Yijun got up slowly, looked at Lin Mang, and said in a slightly cold tone: "Do you also think that I shouldn't pursue immortality?" ”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became delicate.

Lin Mang arched his hand and said: "The words of the traitor cannot be believed, if there is a way to live forever, the minister will find it!" ”

Seeking is seeking, but it depends on who is looking for it.

The indifference on Zhu Yijun's face disappeared a little, and he said calmly: "It would be nice if those people thought like you." ”

"Have you ever found the fragment sent by the people of Dongying?"

Lin Mang shook his head and said: "When the minister sent people to go, the traitors had all committed suicide and destroyed everything, and the fragment Tuchen was not found. ”

Zhu Yijun frowned slightly, waved his hand slightly, and sighed, "I know." ”

"Let's go down."

Lin Mang bowed: "The minister retires!" ”

Leaving the Wuying Palace, Lin Mang looked at the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced back at the palace, and left quickly.

I am afraid that this matter has planted a thorn in the heart of that person.

But as for the fragmentary map, he really didn't find it.

Those Dongying people seem to have committed suicide, but they were actually killed.

Moreover, their death in the Lin De Temple happened before.

Obviously, someone has been eyeing Fujitang Gaohu for a long time.

In that case, there must be some secret about the fragmentary map.

……

Luwangfu,

"King Lu" waved his hand and motioned for the man in black who was kneeling on the ground to leave.

Ikebana often carefully opens the brocade box and takes out the palm-sized parchment rolls inside.

"Is this a fragment of a map that records the law of immortality?"

I opened it and glanced at it, but found that I didn't know a word of the text on it.

"Don't look at it."

"That's Sanskrit."

A voice suddenly rang out.

Hanamichi often raised his head and said in surprise: "Master Hou, do you know?" ”

Zhu Zaichang took it and glanced at it, and said in a deep voice: "The country of the Western Regions ......"

muttered to himself, and Zhu Zaichang didn't say more.

"Master Hou, I heard that Lin Mang killed the Dongying envoy at today's banquet?"

Zhu Zaichang bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Even if he doesn't do it, Ben Hou won't let them leave alive." ”

"This group of Dongying people is ambitious, and it is definitely not good."

The struggle for the throne is, in the final analysis, an internal one, but he will never allow outsiders to fight for it.
