Cheng Xiangxian looked at the closed door, hesitating and not knowing how to push it open.

Since yesterday, his father has locked himself in his room and has not left a single step. There was no sound coming from inside, and he hadn't been seen eating anything.

Cheng Cheng knew first that his father needed some time to digest his emotions, and now, as his only son, even if he pushed the door open to disturb him, what could he say? Did you tell him that the imperial edict had just arrived, and that he was going back to restore his life? Or persuaded him that only now can he rebuild his homeland with the people of Chaomen in order to comfort those who died......

"Is it Xian'er?" While thinking, Cheng Tingdong's voice had already come out of it, "Come in." ”

Cheng Xiangxian realized that the door was actually not locked at all, and if he wanted to enter, he could push the door to enter at any time.

After stepping in, Cheng went first to look at the scene in front of him, a little surprised.

Cheng Tingdong sat upright on the chair, with his back to him, the most surprising thing was that the ground was full of broken hair, and Cheng Tingdong cut off his hair and turned it into a short inch left, which is very different from the accepted etiquette of "body hair and skin, and parents dare not destroy it".

Not only that, what Cheng Tingdong was wearing was a special military uniform, with narrow sleeves and wide robes, which was not only different from the swallow clothes of Fu Shendu, but also very different from the short clothes of the border army.

"Isn't that weird?" Cheng Tingdong said lightly: "This is all left by Lu Chengzhao back then. Lu Chengzhao is known as a 'virtuous general', and he is better at training troops than arranging troops. He stipulated that those who joined the army must have this hairstyle to facilitate bandaging after being wounded; The suit has been improved to make it more protective and practical. ”

He also improved a number of ordnance weapons and studied the training methods that matched them, and he was a well-deserved military master. If there is no Lu Chengzhao, there will be no last glory of the Lu family. ”

"I know, father, you used to be Lu Chengzhao's subordinate." Cheng Xiangxian said: "That year was also the time you miss the most. ”

That year was in its prime, with virtuous generals and masters, and fellow soldiers, opening up the territory and establishing a career, what a pride.

But not long after that, the imperial court was weak, Lu Chengzhao could not support the battlefield alone, and the Lu family army that was born and died was completely destroyed. Emperor Jing Xu crossed to the south, and Zhaoguo discarded half of the country in shame in exchange for the stability of the remnants. And her wife also died at that time.

The blood that used to be hot became cold and numb in the frustration of doing nothing. Otherwise, why would Cheng Tingdong, the general of the border army, be willing to devote himself to the Qingshui Yamen, the god governor, to do those trivial things to deal with the monks.

But now, Cheng went to see that his father had re-dressed and cut back to his previous hairstyle, and it seemed that at this moment, more than 20 years of sinking had become high-spirited again.

This represents a kind of determination, and it is his unwilling blood that is pushing Cheng Tingdong to seek justice for yesterday's catastrophe, the martyrs who died, and the young man who was still as rebellious as a wolf in the end.

In the end, Cheng Tingdong still didn't know what Qiu Shaohu's hatred was, maybe as soon as this young man died, no one would know his secret.

But at least, I can avenge his death again!

"You want to investigate that?" Cheng Fuxian took the initiative to mention Qiu Shaohu.

"Yes," Cheng Tingdong said, "do you remember the appearance of the woman who killed him?" ”

"I didn't see it clearly," Cheng Fuxian shook his head, "but I remember, father, you saw it." ”

"I saw it, but," Speaking of this, Cheng Tingdong actually smiled bitterly, "You also know, I look at women, and I have always been face blind." ”

Cheng Fu smiled first, he knew that his father was telling the truth, except for his mother for so many years, his father had never remembered the appearance of other women.

"I already know about letting us go back to Beijing to report on our work," Cheng Tingdong said: "After all, such a big incident has happened, and the Xuanzhen Division has already sent someone to inquire." Fushen Governor is a subordinate agency of the Xuanzhen Division, and as the general director, I must report clearly. ”

"Then I'll let people prepare, and from now on I will pack up and go back to Kangjing?" Cheng went to the first and said: "And Master Zhang, since he woke up, he has been busy with disaster relief and reconstruction work, father, when will you see him?" ”

Cheng Tingdong nodded, so Cheng went to prepare when he left here first.

Not long after he left, Liang Li, Liang Mian and Xun Jianji walked in at the same time, each took the information compiled that day and handed it to Cheng Tingdong.

Cheng Tingdong was very satisfied with the efficiency of these henchmen, took their information and began to read it, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked his heart became.

After the matter calmed down, he asked people to find out the news of the initiator, and soon found out a series of plans such as Zhenkang Shrine and Resting Place, and then found out that the real person behind the scenes was Sima Yin, and this woman had been hiding in the theater not far away to observe the situation.

Once the imperial court's huge information network is fully activated, anyone who has come into contact with it will have nothing to hide.

But what matters is not Sima Yin herself, but her identity. Under the continued excavation, Cheng Tingdong had already discovered that Sima Yin did not seem to be alone, but had a close connection with the Sima family in the capital.

This family, who made great contributions on the way to the south of the royal family, has been passed down from generation to generation by the imperial Danshu iron coupons, which is the emperor's grace, and outsiders can not easily touch them.

If this is the case alone, it will be enough, and the more tricky situation is that the Sima family and the Xiahou family have many indescribable relationships, the Xiahou family is a more famous and wealthy family, and the relationship in Kangjing is intertwined, and the power is so great that ordinary people can hardly imagine. The situation is so complicated that if it is not handled well after a random investigation, everyone will end up with a moth to the fire.

Even above today's court, one of the two people that the emperor relies on the most is the current head of the Xiahou family, the official department Shangshu who ranks first among the hundred officials, and is known as the "Wuluo Zhongcheng" by the world.

"Xiahou Ceyong," Cheng Tingdong put away the report in front of him, and his tone was calm, "I will still find you in the end." ”

There is not the slightest panic that he may be the enemy of the most powerful man in the world.

In the past, the relationship between Lu Chengzhao and Xiahou Ceyong was not good.

At the beginning, the decision of the Zhaoguo Imperial Court to cross to the south was also mainly based on Xiahou Ceyong, and a group of officials urged him to implement it.

……

Go to the canal in Kangjing.

"Well, hurry up and row, hey, don't, don't be too fast, steady, the table on the boat is unstable, I spent all my writing. Also, is there anything to eat? ”

On a small ship, the crew members frowned sadly and listened to the command of a woman sitting on the top floor. It's just that these people, each with a full face, look like they are not good.

"Auntie...... Aunt and grandmother ...... "The boss of these people looked at Li Yixuan, who looked like he was playing in the mountains and rivers, and said with a bitter face: "What we are doing is all about robbing houses and houses, if you want to kill anyone, you can order, we will never shirk...... But the brothers really don't know how to serve you. ”

These people are all water bandits and river thieves on the river, they rely on the boat fast and the water is good on weekdays, and they do a lot of evil, but now they hit Li Yixuan's hands, and they fell directly from Haoqiang to slaves, which is also very unlucky.

"Less nonsense, you usually rob past merchants, kill people and goods, and you should have amassed a lot of family wealth, and now you don't let you pay, just let you send me to Kangjing City, so unwilling?" Li Yixuan wrote the draft of the novel on the paper, and said casually: "When you arrive in the capital, hand over the stolen goods, and go to the government yourself, I will testify that you voluntarily surrendered, which can be regarded as leaving you some dignity." ”

The faces of the river pirates were ugly.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and row!" Li Yixuan saw that they were motionless, and urged.

Looking at each other, everyone could only row with a bitter face, hoping that this little aunt and grandmother would not think of anything to toss again, but they couldn't give birth to the slightest rebellion. After all, when she first appeared, the scene of lifting the entire boat directly from the river with one hand scared everyone really hard.

Li Yixuan didn't care about that, and continued to conceive his book. This time, she did not choose to go directly to Kangjing as soon as possible, but walked around by water, just to see more of the customs along the way and use her novels as material.

Regarding the setting of the protagonist of the new book, Li Yixuan repeatedly conceived it, but he was still dissatisfied. This time she used Qiu Shaohu as the prototype, but she and Qiu Shaohu didn't get along for much time, and some things were still not very clear, so she couldn't write too brilliant episodes.

"Perhaps, you can ask him directly?" Li Yixuan thought about it, and took out the Biluo seal and planned to write a letter to the other party.

But after thinking about it, he still took the seal letter back, "He said that he will come to Kangjing in the future." Let's wait until next time and ask in person. ”

In her heart, she still remembers each other firmly.

……

In the open sea, the fire gradually extinguished in the small boat that was pushed away by the waves.

Among the embers, the bodies that were buried as martyrs were burned and there was not much left.

It's just, suddenly.

In the flickering flames, a starlight appeared particularly bright.

The star map shows that there are countless starry skies in the sky, and the brilliance is in harmony with each other.

At this moment, time seems to freeze here.

The flame of disturbance also stopped for a moment, and then rekindled again.

As the flames re-ignited little by little, the spreading fire brought about the rapid recovery and healing of limbs everywhere.

Even the clothes on his body, the big coat and the box, reflected the light like new from the flames.

At the moment when the flames reached their peak, Qiu Shaohu jumped up, and all the flames were completely extinguished on his body.

Reborn from the ashes.

At first, there was a little confusion in his eyes, as if he had forgotten why he was here.

But soon, he held the fragment of the star map in his hand, and immediately, the sharp light reappeared in his eyes, a clear yellow wolf-like color.

I'm Qiu Shaohu.

There are also enemies, waiting for me to kill!
