The east lit up with the white belly of the fish, and among the bamboo forests outside the Taoist temple, the empty birdsong sounded one after another.

In the room in the backyard, Hongyu was still asleep, and the Queen Mother, who was tossed and drowsy in the early morning, was still lying on the pillow with her chest on her side, listening to the wind and grass outside.

Why haven't you come back yet......

Didn't the book say that it would be over in two quarters of an hour, and the night terror hall would take so long......

Still Shui'er didn't have the face to see the palace, and she was embarrassed to go back to the house......

Thinking so crankily, I don't know how long it took, there was finally movement in the courtyard:

Stomp ......

Squeak~

Click.

The sound of entering the house and closing the door.

The Queen Mother's eyes moved slightly, and she looked out, and then she got up lightly, put on embroidered shoes and went out, came to the main house in the backyard, and listened attentively.

There was no sound in the room, no movement.

The Queen Mother was a little puzzled, and wanted to make a dignified appearance of the mother of a country, pushed the door open, and glanced inside.

The main house is the boudoir where Xuanji Zhenren has lived since childhood, with a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, as well as a collection of wine gourds, weapons and other ornaments, and a shelf bed inside.

The Queen Mother looked towards the bed, but saw Shui Er lying upside down on the bed, her legs on the edge of the bed, her cheeks buried in the futon, motionless.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother thought that Shui'er didn't want to deal with her, so she came to her with a little displeasure, sat down on the edge of the bed, and patted the curved moon with her hand:

"What do you do? Don't want to take care of Hongu yet? ”

"Hoo ......"

Xuanji Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head weakly, and showed sleepy cheeks:

"I'll sleep for a while, and I'll talk about it when I wake up."

The Queen Mother looked carefully, and saw that Shui Er was like a coolie who had worked outside all night, and she didn't even bother to move her fingers, so she couldn't help but wonder:

"What did you do?"

"Do ......"

Xuanji's red lips moved slightly, buried her face in the futon again, and said in a muffled voice:

"Don't you know, what else are you asking...... Don't laugh at it, sooner or later, you won't be able to escape......"

“……”

The Queen Mother knew that she couldn't escape, but she read what was written in the secret history of Cleopatra, after a woman's home was moistened, she should be full of spring and eat the marrow......

How can Shui'er be like being tortured?

The Queen Mother secretly pondered, leaned over to her, and whispered:

"Are you moving yourself?"

“？”

Xuanji Zhenren was indeed self-reliant, and when he heard such a direct inquiry, he didn't know how to answer, so he buried his head and kept silent.

The Queen Mother was very curious, and when she saw that Shui Er had suffered a big crime, she was not too embarrassed, she helped take off her shoes, and then pulled up the futon, and the two of them got into it together, and asked quietly:

"That kind of thing, huh...... What does it feel like? ”

"If you want to know, I'll call the Night Terror Hall over at night so you can experience it for yourself."

"Sigh~ You think I'm just like you? …… By the way, what about the Night Terrors? ”

"Went to practice?"

"He didn't sleep and ran to practice?"

Xuanji Zhenren was still stunned, and said casually:

"Staying up late hurts your body, practicing martial arts to strengthen your body, staying up late to practice martial arts, and naturally you will be balanced......"

"Huh? What kind of fallacy is this...... Water? ”

The Queen Mother still wanted to say a few words, but found that Shui'er was silent as she spoke, and fell asleep directly......

——

At the same time, the jade is empty.

In the early morning, the sky was bright, and the night terror hall flew over the mountains and mountains, and came to the main peak, although the water worked all night, but the water itself was tossing, but it was not tired, and even a little refreshed.

The time was still early, and the Night Terror Hall thought that the Jade Void Temple located on the high mountain should be sparsely populated and lonely, but when he walked near the Jade Void Temple, he found that outside the gate of the Taoist Temple, it was full of pilgrims who came to burn incense in the morning, and there were no less than two or three hundred people, and I don't know how many days they climbed up.

The Night Terror Hall originally wanted to go to the Jade Void Temple to have a stick of incense, but when he saw this scene, it was naturally not good to squeeze in, so he directly bypassed the Taoist Temple and came to the bamboo forest in the back mountain.

The mountain is far away from the world, and the Taoist priests who practice here are resting at sunset, and naturally get up early, and some Taoists who play Tai Chi can be seen near the bamboo forest.

Night Terror Hall followed the old road to the waterhole, and saw the little Taoist boy I met yesterday from afar, walking on the edge of the waterhole, although he was not very old, but his movements were very standard.

When I took a bath yesterday, Shui Er had already said something, and Night Terror knew that this plum blossom pile was specially prepared for him, and also knew that this little path was called Huayang, so he came to greet him:

"Huayang Trail Chief."

Huayang is only eight or nine years old, born in the countryside of Yazhou, after being taken up the mountain by Lu Taiqing at the age of six, he has never gone down the mountain, although he has heard the name of the Night Terror Hall, but he has too little experience, and he does not understand how exaggerated the status of the rivers and lakes is that the martial artist who is only weaker than his master.

Therefore, Huayang knew who the Night Terror Hall was, and he didn't react much, just turned around and said:

"Night Hero is here so early."

"The plan of the day lies in the morning, and you don't come earlier."

"Alas, I want to sleep a little longer, Master is standing at the door with a ring ruler, I can't do it if I don't get up......"

The Night Terror Hall passed by Hua Yang's side, and when he heard this, he paused slightly, turned his head and looked at it, and remembered ten years ago.

Ten years ago, he was also eight or nine years old, and he was about the same size as Huayang, because it was really too hard to practice martial arts, and he was basically held by his father-in-law with a stick every day to practice.

At the time, he didn't quite understand it, but now he realizes how lucky it is to meet a responsible master at the most suitable age for laying the foundation.

"When I was a child, I didn't suffer a little, and when I grew up, you were okay, when I was a child, if I dared to shake it when I was walking, I could be chased by my father with a stick for a few streets."

Huayang walked steadily: "I'm the same, the master is elusive, and he doesn't see anyone if he practices well, if he doesn't practice well, he will immediately come out from behind and pat his shoulder...... Anyway, I'm going to practice to the point of Night Hero, how many years will it take? ”

Night Terror Hall felt that this little Taoist priest was extremely talented, as long as nothing happened halfway, it was not a big problem to become the future head of the Dao Sect, and thought about it:

"I've been practicing to where I am now, at least ten years. I can't rush for quick success and quick profit when I practice martial arts, my body is still developing before the age of twenty, and I shouldn't normally enter the rivers and lakes, I am forced by the situation, if it weren't for my father to go early, it is estimated that I am still living at the border......"

"Oh...... I heard yesterday that Aunt Xuanji and Night Hero are married, so won't I have to call you Aunt Dad in the future? ”

"Uh......"

Night Terror Hall counted it, it felt quite strange, shook his head and said:

"The monks don't pay attention to these things, so let's talk about them later."

Huayang nodded, and wanted to continue to take a serious step, but he immediately found that the night terror hall flew and jumped on the plum blossom pile, which was not very stable, and he wondered:

"Night Hero, why are your legs weak? Not like that yesterday......"

“？”

The night terror hall was ravaged by a succubus for a night, and it was strange that the legs were not weak, so he stopped his hand and opened his horse at the moment, and ran the bath fire map to adjust his muscles:

"I just woke up, and I haven't warmed up yet. Practice well and don't get distracted. ”

"Oh......"

Huayang didn't ask any more questions, one big and one small greeted the glimmer of the early morning, and began to breathe seriously and breathe out......

——

Yun'an City.

Approaching the end of the year, the silver-covered capital is becoming more and more lively, red lanterns are hung in thousands of streets, and the same is true in the imperial city, but because the empress and queen mother are not there, the depths of the palace city are still a little deserted.

In the Taihua Palace, the civil and military officials who had discussed the trivial matters of the previous year walked out of the main hall and went out of the imperial city one after another.

Dongfang Liren was wearing a silver python robe, took the palace maid out of the palace, took the chariot and turned to the Jingwang Mansion, and opened the car window to look at the southeast along the way, and there was a faint longing between his eyebrows.

Before my sister left, she said that she would ride the rouge tiger after a few days of play, and rushed back to change shifts with her, but the result was good, she didn't urge her sister to move, and it looked like she was going to come back after the New Year.

Dongfang Liren knew that it was not easy for his sister to take a vacation for a while, so he never opened his mouth to urge, but the longing in his heart became stronger and stronger with the growth of time.

Grunt grunt –

The chariot driven by the horses drove through Wangfu Street under the escort of the forbidden army and came to the gate.

Dongfang Liren was a little distracted, and was reminded by the maid before he came back to his senses, got up and got out of the carriage, raised his eyes, and saw that the injury was gradually leaving, standing at the door and waiting.

The injury gradually left and She Long, almost was killed by the broken silence, the injury has only basically recovered until now, at this time, the injury gradually left the standing in front of the door in regular clothes, and when he saw King Jing coming down, he stepped forward and said:

"Your Highness, Gonggong Cao has something to ask to see."

"Huh?"

When Dongfang Liren heard this, he immediately cleared his heart.

Although Gonggong Cao was imprisoned on the third floor of the dungeon, the empress retained her official position and reward, and she is still the chief administrator of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The reason why this is so is because Gonggong Cao is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and his loyalty to the Dongfang clan is obvious to all, even if he does not recognize the emperor's imperial system, there are really thieves from the Northern Liang who killed the imperial city and released Gonggong Cao, and Gonggong Cao will still guard the last palace gate for the Dongfang clan.

Although Gonggong Cao may not be able to lower the current martial arts, the four Minglong diagrams have practiced a jiazi, and they are as immobile as a mountain and defend the imperial city, and no one can step on the corpse of Gonggong Cao in a short time.

If Gonggong Cao can change his mind and return to the palace as the head of the inner house, the effect will naturally be better.

Gonggong Cao always maintains his heyday, as long as he squats in the imperial city, Lu Taiqing rebels and stabs him, and he has to weigh whether he can smash this hardest stone in the Great Wei Dynasty with three slaps, and the empress can be said to sit back and relax.

But it's a pity that ten years have passed, and Gonggong Cao has never changed his mind, he just wants to die in Miyagi, complete the mission of this life, and fulfill the promise he made to Taizu back then.

Dongfang has been away from people for so many years, and he has never seen Cao Gonggong take the initiative to speak, and when he heard Cao Gonggong ask to see her, his heart naturally became solemn, and he turned around and walked towards Heiya, asking along the way:

"Do you know why Gonggong Cao asked to see this king?"

The injury gradually left and shook his head: "The humble position is not clear. ”

Dongfang didn't ask much when he saw this, and soon took a large group of followers and entered the black dungeon.

Because he knew that King Jing was going to come here, the dungeon was also cleaned in advance, and the original underworld-like corridor was lit with candles, which looked bright and bright, and there was no sense of depression.

Dongfang Liren walked quickly into several cells, and was thinking about what Gonggong Cao was looking for her to do, when he suddenly heard a few words from a cell:

"Brother, is Lord Night back?"

"So many footsteps, I guess it is, shout ...... injustice"

Bang Bang

It's a pity that before the injustice was shouted, the frightened Hei Ya always struck twice on the iron fence with the handle of his knife, and the dungeon was immediately silenced.

Dongfang Liren recalled it slightly, and then remembered who was locked up in the No. 1 room of the earth, because it was the person who was personally seized by the dignified lord, she didn't dare to let it go on her own initiative, so she didn't care, and soon came to the third floor of the dungeon.

The iron door on the third floor of the dungeon has been opened, revealing the elegant study Meng Jiao and She Long standing next to them, their expressions are quite respectful, after all, when Gonggong Cao was the head of the inner house, he had more or less guidance to them.

Cao Gonggong's recovery of his heyday is simply unstoppable, and the supplies obtained for this can only be worth his life, and at this time, he has no combat power at all, and the defense is naturally not very tight.

Dongfang walked through the tunnel and came to the underground study, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Gonggong Cao was dressed in a red robe, his clothes and hats were meticulously tied, and there was not much expression on his pale cheeks, but he just bowed down and stood still, and said:

"Old slave Cao Qianqiu, meet Her Royal Highness the Second Princess."

Dongfang Liren heard that Gonggong Cao still called her a princess and did not respect King Jing, so he understood that Gonggong Cao was still drilling the tip of the horns, and his heart was half cold.

Dongfang Liren sat down on the chair brought by the maid, thought about it and raised his hand slightly:

"Excuse me, what is the matter with Chief Manager Cao asking to see this king? But don't you feel comfortable living here? ”

Father-in-law Cao was as slow as ever, and his voice was calm:

"The old slave recently flipped through the old history of the previous dynasty and remembered an important matter. This year is the year of Guimao, the year of Guimao before Jiazi, at the end of the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Yan Gong escaped into Nanxiao Mountain, Taizu subdued Yanzhou, and Beiliang attacked the Northwest Royal Court, causing the Northwest Royal Court to collapse......

"After the Northwest Royal Court was attacked, King Tianlang asked Great Wei for help, intending to destroy Liang with Wei. But the Northern Liang then returned the land of the four counties of Yanzhou, and also sent Taizu six catties of snow lake flowers to treat the righteous soldiers injured in the war, plus the Great Wei was in ruins and needed to recuperate, Taizu finally negotiated peace with the Northern Liang and did not send troops......"

As a child of the royal family, Dongfang Liren naturally understands the history of the founding of the country, and nodded:

"That's true, what does Mr. Cao mean?"

Gonggong Cao continued: "The snow lake flowers in Beiliang were snatched from the hands of the Chi Chi Department, because they were only picked the year before, and the stock was huge, so the harvest was quite rich.

"According to the experience of the previous dynasty in competing for the Snow Lake Flower, the Snow Lake Flower Jiazi bloomed, sometimes one or two years earlier, sometimes one or two years later, but there has never been an exception. Sixty-one years have passed since the last time the snow lake bloomed......"

As soon as the snow lake flower blossoms, the imperial court has naturally paid close attention to it in recent years, but the snow lake forest is in the garden of Queen Zuoxian, and the guards are all henchmen in the henchmen, and it is almost impossible to see the situation of the snow lake forest, so they can only search for wild flowers on the shore of Tianlang Lake to judge the situation.

When Dongfang Liren heard this, he thought for a while and said:

"Before the beginning of winter, the Holy Lord has sent spies to search the shores of Tianlang Lake, but Tianlang Lake is too big and the patrol is strict, so there is no news yet......

Gonggong Cao bowed slightly, and continued unhurriedly:

"The old slave is a servant of the Dongfang clan, although he does not listen to the order of the eldest princess, but the snow lake flower has benefited the descendants of the Dongfang clan for sixty years, no matter who is on the throne, this thing is indispensable, and the old slave cannot sit back and watch this matter go wrong.

"I want to see the second princess today, I want to ask for my life, go to the customs to handle this matter, if it doesn't open this year, the old slave will also bring the snow lake flower back to Yun'an next year."

Dongfang Liren heard that Gonggong Cao asked for orders to do things for the imperial court, and there was no surprise in his heart, after all, the Snow Lake Flower was not brought back, and it was not the two sisters', but it went to the treasury of the Great Wei, which belonged to the next few generations of emperors of the Dongfang clan, and Gonggong Cao, as the chief housekeeper, could not do anything for the empress, but it was about the children and grandchildren of the Dongfang family, and he still had to worry about it.

Father-in-law Cao has been the general manager of the interior all his life, and he has never made a mistake, so he is naturally relieved to do things, but she knows that Gonggong Cao doesn't want to live at all, he just wants to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and if he really goes to grab the snow lake flowers, he must burn the last drop of blood, and desperately give the descendants of the Dongfang clan a little more back, so that this life will have a beginning and an end.

Dongfang Liren is not an emperor after all, not so decisive emperor's heart, since he was a child, he was instructed in martial arts by Gonggong Cao, knowing that the other party was holding a will to die, where could he nod without waves, and after a little consideration, he said:

"This king will be with the Holy Lord Bingming in this matter, and I will reply to Chief Manager Cao in a few days."

Gonggong Cao bowed and said, "Time can't wait. The eldest princess's temperament, the old slave knows, and he is hesitant, but as an emperor, for the sake of the overall situation, he will still agree.

"Since Your Highness is the regent, you should share the worries for the eldest princess, Your Highness is the master of these things, or let Li Xiang be the master, and afterwards it will be clear that the eldest princess may blame you, but there is no other way to do it, and my heart will feel much better."

"And His Royal Highness lets the eldest princess make decisions, what can the eldest princess do?"

Dongfang Liren was stopped by this sentence, and he understood what Gonggong Cao meant-the wicked man wants his courtiers to consciously do it, and he can't let the monarch personally order to do this kind of thing that treats loyal ministers and good generals as consumables.

Dongfang Liren understood the reason, but still did not answer immediately, got up and said:

"This king and Li Xiang discussed first, and Manager Cao doesn't need to be anxious. Now that there are many heroes in the Great Wei, unlike in the past, only the chief manager Cao and the national teacher are guarding the capital, and they must make trade-offs when necessary. Even if Beiliang had already harvested the Snow Lake Flowers, the Night Terror Hall would be able to make them spit it out. ”

The last time Gonggong Cao saw the Night Terror Hall, Qiu Tianhe had just been released from prison, and he didn't know the situation outside in the underground, and he really didn't know what kind of situation the Night Terror Hall had grown into now.

Seeing that Dongfang Liren said this, Gonggong Cao no longer insisted, but just leaned over to send him off.

Dongfang Liren turned around and walked out of the dungeon, and only after coming to Mingyu's downstairs did he turn his head and say:

"Meng Jiao, you repair a letter and send it to the Night Terror Hall, explain what happened just now, and ask him not to be anxious, first accompany the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord to celebrate the New Year, and King Rong Ben will find out the situation clearly, and then come to deal with this matter. The injury gradually left, and I went to ask Li Xiang to come over. ”

"Yes."

Meng Jiao and the injury gradually left, and left separately after receiving the order......
