March 20.

Evening.

Dongxu City, the sunset is full of sky.

The palace harem, the Qingxin Palace, the Xingyun Pavilion.

Zhang Jingzhong, the chief eunuch of the Great Interior, hurriedly walked into Xingyun Pavilion and came to the study.

Emperor Wu was standing in front of the bookcase, holding a pen and dipping it in an inkstone, and then putting down the pen, carefully writing something on a banner.

Zhang Jingzhong stood quietly behind Emperor Wu.

He knew that at such a time, even if there was a big thing, he needed to wait for the emperor to finish writing before he could say it.

Emperor Wu didn't look back.

With a stroke of his pen, he wrote a banner in just a few breaths.

But when he dipped his pen in thick ink again, he didn't put his pen on the second banner for a long time...... Because he didn't know what to write.

It's a couplet!

He thought that he had figured out the upper and lower couplets of this couplet, but when he wrote the couplet, he suddenly found that the lower couplet and the upper couplet did not deal with it.

It's not beautiful to think on the left, and it's not good to think on the right.

After a full ten breaths, he suddenly sighed and put the pen in his hand on the pen stand.

Not after all.

Don't force it.

"Say it......!"

Zhang Jingzhong bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Wei Xiaoxian, the commander of the black-clothed guard...... It's back! ”

In fact, this sentence was only half spoken, but Emperor Wu's waist gradually straightened up 🤲-

On the fifth day of the first month of March, he ordered Wei Xiaoxian, the black-clothed guard commander of the cardinal's room, to lead people to chase Xue Zhaoyi back.

Originally, this should have been done quickly, but now it's March 20th!

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Jingzhong said that Wei Xiaoxian was back!

He didn't say that Xue Zhaoyi was back!

This naturally means that Wei Xiaoxian did not catch up with Xue Yiyi's convoy!

I also chased it away!

As a master of the cardinal room, Wei Xiaoxian, a half-step great master, should not be able to catch up with Xue Zhaoyi even if he set off a few hours late.

Emperor Wu seemed to be much older at this moment.

For Xue Qiyi's feelings, in Emperor Wu's heart, it is completely different!

Xue Yiyi is the first woman in his life!

The first one is often the one with the deepest memory, and it is often the one that really puts the heart into it!

Emperor Wu had even thought about it, and after he abdicated, he took Xue Qiyi to travel the world.

First, it is to make up for the grievances suffered by Xue Qiqi over the years.

Secondly...... From the bottom of his heart, he likes to be with Xue Yiyi.

It was a simple woman.

By her side, Emperor Wu would feel extremely relaxed.

When he knew that Ning Guo's Imperial Wind Guard and Xuanjia Battalion had quietly passed through Prince Ping's fiefdom, he guessed something.

But he didn't give Wei Xiaoxian an order to kill Xue Yixian.

He still hoped to bring Xue Qian back.

Can ...... now She's really gone!

Emperor Wu's heart suddenly emptied, and a moment later, a wave of anger rose.

He took a deep breath and squeezed the anger alive.

He raised his head with his hands behind his back and sighed, "The peach blossoms are red, the willow leaves are green, and the catkins are flying...... Fall into the stream...... The girl in the raccoon clothes by the stream......"

He didn't say any more.

Zhang Jingzhong behind him had already bowed down.

Zhang Jingzhong knew the meaning of some words.

He didn't expect that after thirty-nine years, the emperor had not forgotten the peach tree and willow forest with Xue Zhaoyi in Chu State.

"The Emperor's ......"

Emperor Wu waved his hand, and he slowly turned around.

In the moment of his turn, the decadence on his face was gone.

He is the majestic emperor who reigns over the world!

"So, Chu Tianji, is he really from the Chu Kingdom?"

"Back to the emperor, this ......"

"It doesn't matter anymore!"

Emperor Wu slowly walked to the tea table and sat down slowly.

"Spring is coming, Yan Nangui has been living here for so many years...... If she wants to go back, let's go back. ”

"It's just that in my life, I attach great importance to family affection, and for my sons, I ...... Know them, and know what they are capable of. ”

"Even if I want to cut the domain, how can I let them be wronged?"

"But now this has developed beyond my expectations."

"Since Xue Zhaoyi is not returning...... Then my eldest son, Prince Ping Wu repentance, will rebel! ”

"This is something I would never want to see!"

"But for the sake of this country......"

Emperor Wu's face became extremely serious, "Proposed Purpose!" ”

"The old slave obeys!"

"The Great General of Beifu, Wu Li......"

Zhang Jingzhong sighed in his heart, thinking that the emperor was going to do something to Prince Ping?

But what he never expected was that Emperor Wu's holy decree was not like this-

"The general of Beifu Wu immediately commanded the 100,000 troops of Beifu to go to Jianshan to encircle and suppress all the Ning troops in Jianshan!"

Zhang Jingzhong's eyes widened suddenly, but after counting his breaths, he bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty...... Wise! ”

It's not the emperor's mercy!

Because Prince Ping's fief is in the territory of Beifu!

Prince Ping has been in the domain for more than 20 years!

Although the imperial court had a clear decree to strictly prohibit the vassal kings from interacting with the border armies in various places, after all, it was a place far away from the emperor of the mountain, and no one could guarantee what kind of deeds they would have in private.

Prince Ping Wu Cheng is not only superb in martial arts, but also extremely accomplished in the art of war!

He's a rare general!

If there really was such an unimaginable deal between him and Uri, it would be equivalent to him having an extra 100,000 troops for nothing!

asked Uri to lead the troops to kill him, but a bad one forced him to immediately rebel.

Transferring the Wuli Department out of Beifu is the best policy!

But who will the emperor transfer to deal with Prince Ping?

Emperor Wu did not say.

What Emperor Wu said was: "Stay for a while, accompany me out of the palace for a walk." ”

Zhang Jingzhong cautiously asked, "Where does the emperor want to go?" ”

"Xia Guogong Mansion!"

"The old slave obeys."

"Hmm...... How long will it take for the Condor Army to arrive at the four-tael stone camp? ”

"It's about five days to go back to the emperor."

"What has the prince been doing these days?"

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with the affairs of the Dragon Guard."

Emperor Wu sighed deeply, "How many people are there in the Dragon Guard?" ”

"A thousand...... They are all masters of the rivers and lakes, and most of them come from the Xuanwu Hall in the rivers and lakes. ”

Emperor Wu's eyebrows frowned slightly: "I seem to have heard of this Xuanwu Hall?" ”

“…… Your Majesty, the Xuanwu Hall was originally played by the four princes, Prince Yu, when they were still in Kyoto, and later the four princes became vassals, and this Xuanwu Hall was lost to the Qiu Jiu Lou of Qiuzhuang to take care of. ”

"Oh...... I knew, I wrote a letter, sent someone to secretly deliver it to Wu Chang's hands, remembered, and handed it to him personally. ”

Zhang Jingzhong was taken aback again.

Because this seems to be the emperor's distrust of the crown prince!

"The old slave obeys!"

"Is there any news from the Sword Washing Building?"

"Back to the emperor, I said that a few days ago, many masters came to the Sword Washing Building, most of them were people from the rivers and lakes of Ningguo, and the other was ...... The eldest princess was with Qiuchen and also appeared in the Sword Washing Building...... I heard they found that kid of theirs! ”

Emperor Wu raised his head and frowned between his eyebrows, "That kid is still alive?" What is your name? ”

"Back to the emperor, he said that his name was Amu!"

“…… I know, are they still washing the sword building? ”

"No, it was said that I entered the Sword Mountain from the dark river under the Cloud Valley a few days ago...... It was to save Li Chen'an! ”

Emperor Wu pondered for a moment and stood up.

He walked back and forth in the study for a few steps, and suddenly muttered, "Could it be that the Forgetfulness Desk really has a way to live?" ”

"If there is a way to live, why haven't any of the disciples of the Sword Washing Building who have entered the Forgetting Terrace for thousands of years come out?"

"If there is no way out...... Shall they go in? ”

Zhang Jingzhong bowed down at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that there is probably a way to live." ”

"Why?"

"There used to be a story about the Peach Blossom Land in the Great Departure Empire."

Emperor Wu was suddenly taken aback, but shook his head for a moment: "But in that story, it was also said that the former Peach Blossom Land was destroyed in an earth dragon turnover." ”

Zhang Jingzhong sighed three breaths: "Although the earth dragon has turned over, although the Peach Blossom Land no longer exists, there is a forgetful platform!" ”

"Since there is a dark river coming out, maybe the earth dragon is at the bottom of the mountain, and it is a way to live!"

Emperor Wu stroked his short beard, thought for a long time, and said:

"Order Wei Xiaoxian to lead the master of the dark clothes guard to go in and have a look!"

Zhang Jingzhong bowed down, hesitated for a moment but still asked, "That...... What if Wei Xiaoxian really met the eldest princess......? ”

Emperor Wu did not answer this sentence.

"I'm a little tired."

He turned around and left Xingyun Pavilion, Zhang Jingzhong looked at Emperor Wu's back and sighed in his heart, he turned around and walked to the bookcase to prepare the decree, but his eyes fell on the banner-

Dawu suddenly heard the bell, teaching the smoke and rain, people should be awake!
