Outside the Imperial History Mansion, people are silent, and the horse is in place.

Xu Zhilang took a few black clothes handed over by Chen Yajiu and looked at Xu Mu.

"Did you take it from the murderer who went to my house?"

Xu Mu nodded.

Chen Yajiu arched his hand and said:

"According to the black cloth used to probe this batch of clothes, it was purchased by the Imperial Historian's Mansion a few months ago. A few days ago, there were unknown people coming and going in the Imperial History Mansion! ”

After a pause, he didn't know whether to talk about it or not, and said to Xu Mu:

"The rest, let's say it to the second son, the subordinates don't dare to talk about it......"

Xu Mu glanced in the direction of the capital Luojing, and took out a string of about dozens of identity tokens.

"Some people say that the identity token on these people is the ...... of the sixth child"

Xu Zhilang's eyes narrowed slightly, and the killing intent flashed away, and he threw it to Chen Yajiu:

"You give me a letter!"

"That person is me, and I am the one who said to the second son after the investigation by my subordinates......," Chen Yajiu said straightly.

"Don't mention this matter again in the future." After Xu Zhilang instructed the two, he turned to Lei Wanjun and nodded, "Let's do it!" ”

After that, he asked Xu Mu to carry the bag full of identity tokens.

The palms were slightly wrong, and the blood-red tokens were directly shattered into powder, and with the heavy snow falling from the sky, they drifted away with the wind!

That night, the wind and snow were full of cool west!

Several young sword cultivators who didn't have time to get away from the Imperial History Mansion were blocked in the dark room.

The Xiliang army fought bloodily.

Xu Mu, Lei Wanjun, and Chen Yajiu took the lead!

In the thunderous roar, the divine power of the Sword of Sacrifice that had been suppressed for a long time was finally completely unleashed!

Xu Mu was covered with sword wounds and beheaded four people in a row!

And Wang Chengzong and his third son, who had just returned from Luojing a few days ago, disappeared in this snowstorm!

The next day, the early risers looked at the Imperial Mansion that had collapsed in the fire, and they were amazed!

Since Xu Zhilang became the state pastor, he has never drunk alcohol for fear of delaying the military situation!

That day, he sat in front of Lin's grave for a day and a night, drank three pots of old wine, and was so drunk that he was unconscious!

In the end, he was carried back to the state pastoral mansion by Xu Mu and became a little taciturn!

After waking up, I learned that Xu Wei was almost raped by the black-clothed sword cultivator, and I was so angry that I almost slapped the broken stone table!

The father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time and talked a lot.

After consulting Xu Mu's opinion, Xu Zhilang handed a note to Luo Jing's one.

In order to complain, the sword cultivators who came down from the mountain poisoned hundreds of lives in the state pastoral mansion, and asked the imperial court Taichang Temple to investigate thoroughly!

Second, in order to ask for guilt, a group of horse thieves fled to the Imperial History Mansion after plundering the State Pastoral Mansion, and when the thieves were suppressed, the horse thieves ignited a fire, and the Imperial History Mansion was destroyed!

As for the disappearance of Wang Chengzong and his three sons, they didn't mention it at all!

On the day of the performance, the government and the opposition of the Great Jin Dynasty were surging with public opinion!

There are sympathizers, there are abusers, and there are schadenfreude!

That night, Zhao Kang, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, took an old eunuch, dressed in civilian clothes, to the prince's mansion.

Prince Zhao De knelt down in the inner room to greet him.

The emperor glanced at the old eunuch and motioned for him to go outside the room.

Pull out the belt inlaid with gold around your waist, and give the prince a good beating!

The crown prince didn't dodge, and fell to the ground, "Father, why are you beating your son?" ”

"There's no reason, isn't it natural for Lao Tzu to beat his son?!" The Emperor raised his belt and continued to exert his ferocity.

In a short moment, the prince's back shirt was torn, revealing the blood stains inside!

About half a column after incense.

The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty sat on the throne and slammed Xu Zhilang's letter onto the table, his eyes filled with complex meanings.

"Get up! Do you have anything to say about this letter? ”

"Yes." The prince snorted in pain and staggered to his feet, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Tell me about it." The Emperor clenched the belt in his hand.

"The fourth, sixth and others threaten their son's position as the prince! There is nothing wrong with me arranging for people to cut off their henchmen. The prince whispered.

The Emperor rubbed his temples, as if he did not understand the eldest son, who had been born in the midst of war.

"The fourth is in the court, and you say that he threatens you, and you just do it. But Sixth, he learned swords in the mountains, how could he threaten you? ”

The prince arched his hand and said indignantly:

"That Lin family's son-in-law, Xu Zhilang, is in charge of a state military horse in Xiliang! His wife is a distant cousin of the sixth biological mother......"

The emperor smiled and waved his hand:

"If you say so, Xu Zhilang is still my sworn brother when I joined the army!"

The prince was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Xiliang Ren Tu to have such a relationship with the Great Jin Emperor!

The son didn't know about it. Why hasn't my father ever mentioned this matter for decades? ”

The emperor glanced deeply in the direction of Xiliang, his expression was full of melancholy, and said:

"Back then, there were seven sworn brothers, but now there are only two of us left!"

After a pause, his eyes turned cold, and he said:

"The elders often say that things are wrong after years! What do you do with those old sesame seeds and rotten grain? ”

The prince felt pain in his back, gasped, and suddenly said:

Even so, his son was wary of him. God knows, will he be biased towards the sixth child in the future! ”

Seeing that the emperor was thinking and did not speak, the prince said cautiously:

"I heard from the historian that the emperor and his father of the previous dynasty also seemed to be in ...... righteous"

"Shut up! Don't mention the things of the previous dynasty! The emperor didn't know what to think of, and suddenly burst into anger!

"Yes." The crown prince bowed his head and narrowed his eyes a few times.

"That letter is ...... Burn it. The emperor stroked his eyebrows a few times and slowly walked out of the inner room.

Covered in cold sweat, the prince held up the letter paper and leaned towards the candle flame.

Before the emperor walked out of the inner room, he finally finished burning the song.

Half an hour later, a man in a black cloak appeared beside the prince and offered a red elixir.

"Prince, this is a newly developed red pill under the next, which can heal injuries and build muscles and strengthen the body!"

Prince Zhao De's mouth hissed, took the pill, looked at it for a while, and slowly took it.

"Mr. Gu, do you say I really can't cultivate?"

The black-clothed man in the cloak stretched out his sword finger and slowly exerted his mana to refine the power of the elixir for the prince.

"In this secret room, you should call me Master. Otherwise, it will be too raw. ”

Wisps of crimson energy circulated in the prince's body.

The scars on his back from the golden band quickly disappeared and new skin grew.

The prince's back was itchy, and he scratched it a few times with his backhand through his robe, and said:

"Master, is it true that disciples can't cultivate?"

Mr. Gu looked at the prince meaningfully and said:

"Not at this time. Inheriting the luck of the imperial dynasty, it is difficult to achieve cultivation, and this has been the case since ancient times. But ......"

The prince whispered to him, and the two talked mysteriously.

The anxious look was relieved, and there was a look of yearning.

"Hey, hey. At that time, it will be the real long live ......"

Mr. Gu nodded, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and got up to say goodbye.

Next, he has to go back to the sect for a while, let the crown prince Zhao De be more careful, and don't be impulsive!

The prince was a little depressed and said:

"Could it be that with Master's cultivation, it will be difficult to achieve things in the future?"

Mr. Gu looked out the door and sighed:

"The old dog who came with His Majesty just now is a master of Xuandao! If I am fully restored, I will not be afraid of him. Now, I have to back off! ”

Following.

Emperor Qiangang of the Great Jin Dynasty was arbitrary and made three decrees overnight.

The first decree is to reprimand the prince who is also in charge of Taichang Temple, and punish him for half a year!

The second decree was to give countless gold, pearls, jade, silk and satin to the pasture of Xiliangzhou to comfort the Xu family's distress.

The third will, Xu Zhilang, as the pastor of a state, failed to protect the safety of the Yushi Mansion, and was ashamed of the trust of the imperial court, and was fined for half a year to set an example!

As for Wang Chengzong's disappearance, no one dared to ask about it.

……

……

Xiliangzhou City, in the days when there was no Imperial History Mansion, seemed to have become much more peaceful.

The clothes left by those black-clothed sword cultivators were arranged by Xu Zhilang to be stored in the highest part of the Sword Hidden Pavilion.

And ordered that no one but himself should look at it!

Xu Zhilang took advantage of the reason for the investigation of the thieves to make repeated moves in the political circles of the Xiliang Army.

In less than half a month, there has been no opposition!

The military lives with one heart!

A situation that has been elusive for several years has finally appeared!

The grain and grass that usually takes three months to prepare are ready to stop after just over a month.

A cart of grain, grass and ordnance, escorted by Lei Wanjun, was transported to the border of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and met with Shen Yingxing and Xue Dingfang!

In the pastor of Xiliang Prefecture.

Xu Mu is still cultivating in Tianyan Xiaozhu, and the three thunders every day have never stopped!

It's just that there is an atmosphere that has never been there before, and it is slowly forming in the house.

When people mention Xu Mu, they no longer call him by name or speak coldly as usual, but become extremely enthusiastic!

Every time Xiyue and Dingdang go out, they are always greeted by the maid-in-law in the house.

For a while, they couldn't get used to it!

Chen Shuixuan's life path cultivation has not yet recovered to perfection, and he is still temporarily living in Tianyan Xiaozhu.

It's just that there were several times late at night, when he had something to ask Xu Mu about, but he came up empty!

When Xu Mu practiced swordsmanship the next day, he was a little listless, and he didn't seem to be able to raise his strength!

People who often go to the festival also found a wonderful thing.

Ruan Feihong, the top brand of Yihong Lou's Oiran, sang "Night West Cool" when he was playing tea circles, adding a little lazy and joyful taste!

It almost makes people feel that they are not drunk and everyone is drunk!

this day.

The head of the Lin family, the first family of the Great Jin Dynasty, came to the state pastoral mansion to pay tribute to the Lin family.

After bowing to Xu Zhilang, the head of the Lin family put on incense in front of the Lin family's spiritual seat to express his sorrows.

While chatting, the head of the Lin family talked about Xu Mu who returned from the mountain.

On behalf of the Lin family, he wanted Xu Zhilang to apologize, claiming that he already knew about Wang Qing and Xu Mu.

Over the years, it's hard for their mother and son!

Xu Zhilang remained silent and invited the head of the Lin family to a seat.

I poured a cup of tea, and there was some hesitation between my expressions, and I really didn't know what to say.

Treating Lin, he has both regret and heartache.

He had been reflecting for a long time in front of the Lin family's tomb, but he didn't understand why he and the Lin family had developed into the current situation.

Seeing that Xu Zhilang was silent, the head of the Lin family took a sip of the tea, glanced out the door, and said:

"Can you find someone to bring that kid over? I have something to tell him. ”
