Beibi Mountain is located north of Luoyang and south of the Yellow River. The terrain is undulating, and the tiger is in the dragon pan. Since ancient times, it has been a place where feng shui gathers, so it has become the mausoleum of more than 20 emperors in the past dynasties. In today's Tang Dynasty, the location of this mountain is even more famous, just because in addition to being a treasure of feng shui where mountains and rivers converge, there is also a solemn military palace surrounded by hunting grounds. Lying among the secluded mountains, this mansion seems to be calm and gloomy, but it can't hide a sense of arrogance to the sky. Outside the main hall of the King of Qin, the towering stone carving of Emperor Taizong straddling a war horse and bending a bow and arrows indicates that this is the location of the Tiance Mansion in the Tang Dynasty.

In the Weigong Pavilion in the backyard, there is a few clear teas in the Ming Dynasty, incense is burned on the desk, and Leng Xiaoxiao, who is dressed in a light green robe, is holding a military book in his hand and studying it quietly.

At this time, his deputy Lu Maoyun came and sent an ancient book to Leng Xiaoxiao, and said: "General, this is just received, the person who delivered the book left no trace, and handed it over to the guards and left." I sent someone to chase after me, but I couldn't find anyone. ”

Leng Xiaoxiao lifted the cloth wrapped outside, and saw the words 'Hidden Yuan Secret Guide' written on the cover of the book, his heart suddenly understood, and he smiled: "It's okay, you go down." Lu Maoyun was ordered to leave.

This book is not mysterious to Leng Xiaoxiao, he has already flipped through many books in the Tiance Mansion book file. It is issued by the mysterious organization Yinyuan Club, although it is called 'Secret Jian', in fact, the content is mainly a summary of the major events of the Central Plains Martial Arts in the past five years. Every time a book is written, the various major sects of the Central Plains Martial Arts will receive a volume, and Tiance Mansion is of course no exception.

Looking at the label of 'twenty' written in very small seal characters in the lower corner of the cover, Leng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, this is already the twentieth book, and from one volume every five years, this book is also a hundred years old.

He flipped to the front page, and the title was 'Five Years of Major Events in the Central Plains'. The first of these contents is the confrontation between the Valley of the Wicked and the Haoqi Alliance in the past five years, which has escalated year by year over time. Since the Kaiyuan Catastrophe, in order to curb Wang Yifeng and the Valley of the Wicked, the factions in the Central Plains have established the Haoqi Alliance with the help of the imperial court. For several years, the two sides have been fighting on all sides, winning and losing each other, but most of them are confrontations between several people. Since four years ago, for some reason, the two camps have suddenly begun to recruit troops on a large scale, raise supplies, and seem to be preparing for war, and I think one side can't wait. The secret book records the disputes between the two sides in detail in the past few years, and it is not difficult to see from the order that the Haoqi Alliance is the one who took the initiative. Leng Xiaoxiao flipped through the pages at random, and found that it was all known things, and he directly turned to the last page of the 'People of the Year List'. The people on the list are all the most popular or controversial figures in the past five years.

Leng Xiaoxiao took a sip of the teacup, and saw that the tenth place in the list was Lin Yujing, knowing that he was the head of the Kunlun faction, and the ninth Yang Yifei was the head of the Changge Sect.

Looking at the person who ranked eighth, Leng Xiaoxiao was taken aback, but he didn't expect it to be his own name. After a little thought, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although Li Chengen, Qin Yiyan and others are still there, the whole world knows that Tiance Mansion is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is constantly suppressed by the forces led by Li Linfu in the DPRK and China, but it is still standing, and it is Leng Xiaoxiao who is struggling to support it. Now, whether it is sympathy or ridicule, schadenfreude or covert support, all eyes are staring at the stormy Tiance Mansion, and only he understands the hardships.

Dou Wenyang, who ranked seventh, and Liu Jinghai, the sixth owner of the Sword Village, did not have any great achievements, but due to Li Linfu's support, the influence of these two outside the martial arts is increasing day by day. Especially the one that gave Leng Xiaoxiao the most headache was this Dou Wenyang, this person is the commander of the Shence Army, no matter when and where, he will mention Tiance Mansion in everything, it seems that his only purpose in this world is to make Tiance Mansion disappear. Leng Xiaoxiao naturally knew that the current situation was pressing, Li Linfu was in power to the government and the opposition, and no matter how provocative Dou Wenyang was, all he could do was to restrain his subordinates to endure and ignore it. In addition, I had heard rumors that Dou Wenyang's 'Killing Marksmanship' was like thunder, and he was unstoppable, and Leng Xiaoxiao secretly wanted to find an opportunity to compete with him.

Looking at it again, the fifth name on the list is Wumenggui, Leng Xiaoxiao is not familiar with him, but he seems to have heard that this person is a traitor to the Five Poisons Sect in Yunnan, and after defecting, he created another 'Tianyi Sect', after several years of operation, he has almost unified the forces in southern Xinjiang, but he doesn't know how to deal with the Five Poisons Church.

The fourth place is the red-clothed sect leader Assasin, since the Ming Sect was uprooted by the Tiance Mansion, this red-clothed sect has emerged and made waves. I heard that they are low-key, mostly active in villages and villages, and recruit villagers into the religion on the spot, and their development is extremely rapid. Its members are now all over the Tang Dynasty, and the number is not yet known, but the momentum is not slow, and there is a faint shadow of the Ming Sect back then, and it has almost become the first sect in the world. It is said that the sect leader Assasin's martial arts are unfathomable, but there are not many people who have seen him, Leng Xiaoxiao secretly wants to investigate his origin, otherwise if it goes on like this, there will be great troubles in the future.

It is not surprising that the third is not surprising, Xie Yuan, the leader of the Haoqi Alliance, Leng Xiaoxiao thought that it was rumored that Xie Yuan was born in Tiance Mansion, but he was only a general with a low position, but he was finally recommended by his father-in-law to join the Haoqi Alliance, at that time, all the generals of Tiance did not understand, and he was too young to know anything. It is said that this man is arrogant and ambitious, and he is not a man who enjoys peace, and perhaps he thinks that the time has come to make a move.

Although Xie Yuan is a masterpiece of a generation, his opponent is also extraordinary, and Wang Yifeng, who ranks second, can be said to be the most unique existence in today's martial arts, without any sect and extremely mysterious. Not only is his martial arts superb, but his mind is even more extraordinary, it can be said that if it were not for his existence, today's Valley of the Wicked would have become the dust of history.

Looking down further, Leng Xiaoxiao was stunned, and her eyes couldn't help but flush. In the first position on the list, it was written 'Ye Suiyun', marked as the sixth year of Tianbao. Leng Xiaoxiao looked at it for a while, sighed, closed the book, and said to himself lightly: "It's been two years." Thinking of his friend's death to save himself two years ago, Leng Xiaoxiao always couldn't let go of his feelings and blamed himself.

Two years ago, on the way to Yunnan to quell the rebellion, the forward troops of the Shence Army suddenly rebelled and attacked the commander-in-chief's troops. A few days later, Leng Xiaoxiao returned to Beijing with the remnants of his army, met the emperor above the court, and calmly recounted the attack without mentioning anyone.

However, the ministers present were all beating drums in their hearts, because everyone knew that this expedition was facilitated by Li Linfu, and the construction of the expedition troops was all arranged by him personally. What's more, all the senior generals of the Shence Army, including Chen Songbo, are from Li Linfu's line. I thought that Leng Xiaoxiao would take the opportunity to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, but he didn't seem to be aware of it, and others couldn't help but feel worried, saying that this son was still too young to understand the trickery.

Only Li Linfu was surprised in his heart, he never expected that Leng Xiaoxiao was young, but his heart could be so stable, and he heard that Ye Suiyun died to save him in this battle, but he couldn't see the slightest change in emotion on the face of this young general. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I thought that after clearing Li Chengen, Qin Yiyan and others, Tiance Mansion was no longer a cause for concern, but at this time, it seems that it is too early to say, this cold little is indeed good.

After a cold retelling, the emperor was also furious, and naturally wanted to ask Li Linfu, but Li Linfu only said lightly that the current culprit Chen Songbo has been arrested and is on his way back to Beijing. Wait until Dali Temple interrogates Chen Songbo clearly, and then it's not too late to discuss. The ministers agreed, and the emperor had no choice but to comfort Leng Xiaoxiao and let him recuperate, and he would give him a satisfactory explanation when the time came.

Leng Xiaoxiao suppressed his anger and kowtowed out of the hall. After returning home, he locked himself in his room, and no matter how difficult it was to suppress it, he cried sadly, but he didn't dare to cry out loud. He couldn't let the sergeants outside see the weak side of the boss. Tiance Mansion needs him to be strong at this moment, needs him to be calm, and needs him to convey firm confidence to every soldier.

While crying, the door of the house was squeaked open, and it turned out to be Lee Seung-en. Leng Xiao hurriedly wiped away the tears. Li Chengen patted him on the back and only said, "Cry, everyone outside has been taken away by me." Leng Xiaoxiao hugged her father-in-law and cried loudly.

A few days later, news came that Chen Songbo had died of a sudden illness on the way back to Beijing, and the guards in charge of the guards had been convicted of the unfavorable guards. Leng Xiaoxiao was furious, everyone knew that this was murder, and there was no proof of this death, which meant that all the crimes were borne by Chen Songbo alone.

Thinking of Ye Suiyun's death, Leng Xiaoxiao's grief and anger could not be suppressed, he went straight to Daming Palace, this time he wanted to hand over all the evidence of Li Linfu's secret rebellion collected in recent years to the emperor.

At that time, Emperor Li Longji was talking about metaphysics with Si Tianjian and others in the Ganlu Palace. Hearing that Leng Xiaoxiao was in the audience, he was a little surprised, after all, it was past the time of the last dynasty.

Leng Xiaoxiao entered the hall, knelt down and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has come to start with something important. ”

Li Longji became curious and asked, "What's the matter, why don't you talk about me in the early dynasty and come at this time?" ”

Leng Xiaoxiao said: "It's just because the minister just received the news of the death of the rebel general Chen Songbo, therefore... ”

"Wait." One person interrupted Leng Xiao's words, it turned out that it was Si Tian Supervisor who was withdrawing from Fengqing, only to hear him say: "Your Majesty, just now we are talking about whether the astrological signs can predict the future good luck and evil, and now it happens that General Leng has not explained his intentions, so it is better to let Wei Chen guess with the astrological phenomena he has observed recently, and see if it is accurate." ”

The emperor suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Good idea, Leng Qing and speak slowly, let the master guess." Leng Xiaoxiao was helpless, so he had to shut up and retreat aside.

Retreat Fengqing pinched the ten fingers of his hands for a while, nodded and said: "A few days ago, I watched the sky at night and found that Tianying Star was gradually deviating from the rest of the heart. Today happens to be the beginning of autumn, it is the thirteenth solar term, and it is the most popular time of the year, at this time Beidou points to the southeast, hehe, it seems that General Leng is here to bid farewell to His Majesty. ”

Leng Xiaoxiao was stunned, not knowing what his intentions were. The Emperor asked, "Resign?" Leng Qing, is this true? Leng Xiaoxiao hesitated: "Minister... Retreat Fengqing and said: "Tiance Mansion is located in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, located in Beibi Mountain, in the southeast direction of Chang'an, which coincides with what Beidou is pointing to, and the minister will not be wrong." After speaking, he stared straight at Leng Xiaoxiao.

Leng Xiaoxiao finally understood, and said: "Exactly, the minister was seriously injured in the battle with the rebels and could not recover for a long time, so I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to return to Tiance Mansion to recuperate." ”

The emperor expressed his understanding and asked, "In that case, why did you mention the incident of Chen Songbo's illness and death?" ”

Leng Xiaoxiao hesitated: "It's because... ”

Retreat Fengqing and rushed again: "The minister guesses that it must be because General Leng and the rebel general have a great enmity, and suddenly I heard that this enemy is dead, and naturally the stuffiness in my chest dissipates, so that I can return to recuperate with peace of mind." General Leng, am I right? ”

Leng Xiaoxiao pondered for a long time and said, "Exactly, the master is clever. ”

The emperor was very happy, and when he saw that the retreat was completely true, he couldn't help but be more convinced of his ability, and greatly rewarded all Si Tianjian. At the same time, Leng Xiaoxiao's request to return to Luoyang was also granted.

The group came from the palace, and the retreat Fengqing signaled the rest of the people to return first, while he himself went in the other direction, and saw Leng Xiaoxiao waiting on the side of the road after a few steps.

Leng Xiaoxiao stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Master for saving me in time today, I almost made a big mistake under a little impulse." ”

Retreat Feng Qing said: "I have also heard about the whole thing, and when I saw the general's expression today, it is not difficult to guess your intentions." To be honest, Xiaodao and Ye Shaoxia have also had several encounters, they are old acquaintances, and they sincerely admire his chivalry and righteousness. His passing is heartbreaking. Leng Xiaoxiao's heart was sour when he heard this.

Retreat Fengqing continued: "What Xiaodao said before driving today is aimed at getting rid of the general, which is naturally all nonsense. But the astrology is by no means a delusional science, I have been studying and chasing the holy star for many years in recent days, I was very puzzled at first, until I heard about Ye Shaoxia's experience, I was shocked to realize that maybe the strange person I was looking for for in the years had already been found, but I didn't know it. ”

Leng Xiaoxiao asked, "You mean... ”

Retreat Fengqing waved his hand, signaling him not to speak, and said: "Xiaodao also observed that Tianxin Star is now too faint, approaching Ziwei Star, and the limelight is in full swing, so it must not be directly attacked and temporarily avoided as the top." Corresponding to the trend of my court, he is the person who is in charge of the Chinese book, the head of the hundred officials. ”

Leng Xiaoxiao said: "Li Linfu? ”

Retreat Fengqing nodded and said, "Therefore, the general's return to Luoyang is the best way at the moment." If it collides head-on with Tianxin Star at this time, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ”

Leng Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, clenched his fists, and said, "Thank you Master for your help." ”

Retreat Feng Qingdao: "The current situation is like this, the general is the future pillar of the Tang Dynasty, please take care." ”

Three days later, Leng Xiaoxiao set off, and when he was leaving, Li Chengen instructed him: "Your return to Tiance Mansion this time is a great responsibility. ”

"The child knows." Leng Xiaoxiao took the lead, bid farewell to his father-in-law, and led Lu Maoyun and several other personal soldiers on the road.

When I walked outside the city, I saw Princess Xuanning Li Yunrao who had been waiting for no idea. Leng Xiaoxiao stepped forward and saluted, "Princess, I'm leaving." ”

Li Yunrao's eyes were teary-eyed and she asked, "When will you come back?" ”

Leng Xiaoxiao only smiled bitterly and shook her head, Li Yunrao threw herself into his arms and cried, Leng Xiaoxiao was suddenly at a loss. Seeing that everyone around her was smiling and turned her back, she had to stay motionless and let her cry. After a while, Li Yunrao was reluctant to separate, and suddenly thought that Fang Cai's move was too bold, and couldn't help but blush her cheeks, and said, "Anyway, you have to come back, I. . . I'm waiting for you every day. After saying that, he didn't run back.

Even though Leng Xiaoxiao knew that the princess was interested in him, he never dared to think about it, but at this moment, his chest was warm and he wanted to shout a few times.
