The spring rain continued, sprinkled on the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than 400 years, washed away the quaint or brand-new pavilion buildings, the carriages and horses on the long street were slow, the coachmen and hawkers along the street were endless, and the dull drum of Qin Tianjian sounded from time to time in the distance.

"Pop ......"

A man and a dog stepped on stagnant water, walking on a side street, Xin Zhuo silently looked at the smoke above the original Jiuluan Mountain forbidden land in the direction of due south, and then looked at the majesty and majesty in the direction of the imperial city.

has changed, for more than 50 years, things are not people.

For a while, he shook his head with a wry smile, and glanced at the environment of the long street, which seemed to be one of the thirteen squares of the imperial capital, Chun'an Fang, which was the first time Emperor Zhou Yang ran out of the imperial capital.

"Osmanthus wine is full of Andu ......"

In a liquor shop not far away, there was a crisp and melodious chant of the orchids selling alcohol.

Xin Zhuo paused for a long time in the rain, he wanted to say something appropriate to the occasion but really didn't know what to say, so he had to walk towards the wine shop and muttered a poem that did not fit the occasion: "If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it will not be the same in the end, and the young man will ...... it."

"Osmanthus will only be available in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you are young, why are you so old-fashioned? A scholar like you who is arrogant and has no real talent and learning, I am afraid that I will not be able to make the list......"

A middle-aged man next to him who was wearing a cyan robe of the Sixth Division, with a face that was not angry and arrogant, happened to pass by, and scolded coldly, but when he saw Xin Zhuo's deep vicissitudes of life like an ancient well, the following words were swallowed alive, and his intuition was cold, and he bowed his hand as a salute, and hurriedly entered the wine shop.

It wasn't until he entered the wine shop that he breathed a sigh of relief, found that his back was soaked, and shook his head again and again: "Strange!"

"Sun Sizheng is here, the two adults have been waiting for a long time, and they have sold three jars of osmanthus wine that have been ten years old." The wine seller Orchid greeted him with a smile on her face.

"Got it."

Sun Sizheng nodded, and walked straight to a table in the corner, where the two officials of the Sixth Division in the green robe were already waiting, and when they saw him coming, they beckoned: "Old Sun, here."

Sun Sizheng walked over and sat down, his face still a little uncomfortable.

A slightly chubby official of the Sixth Division smiled: "Whose moldy head did you touch, and your face is so ugly?"

Sun Sizheng lowered his voice: "It's strange and strange, I just saw a young man outside, at best seventeen or eighteen years old, but it gave Sun a certain feeling like an ancestor, and...... I think he's like that nine-story ...... in the forbidden land of Jiuluan Mountain."

"Brother Sun, shut up!" The fat official immediately stopped, who didn't know who was the one who broke through the ninth floor in the forbidden land of Jiuluan Mountain back then, how could he dare to mention it casually? And is it still this nonsense?

Another slightly shorter official pointed to a table not far away, where there was only a handsome woman with a straight posture, also dressed in the robe of the Sixth Division, but it was blue, and said in a low voice: "Li Wan'er and Li Demon Girl of the Supervision and Law Department are also here, and she is as iron-faced and selfless as her grandfather, Li Zhiqiu, the head of the Supervision and Law Department, and she is careful to be caught!"

Sun Sizheng chuckled: "The head of my family, the chief of Ning, just praised me, no!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw the woman in blue, Li Wan'er, said coldly: "If the three of them talk about the royal family privately, it is Ning Zhiwei Ning's head now, and they will also be arrested!"

Sun Sizheng's faces changed, and he hurriedly raised his glass: "Drink too much, drink too much, sorry sorry!"

Then Li Wan'er's face was a little better, and she raised her glass to drink alone, her white and delicate neck was slightly raised, which was quite heroic.

Sun Sizheng felt that he wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, so he smiled and said, "Dare to ask Li Sicheng, who will host this year's Spring Festival?" Could it be that he is still the old prince of Nanli in the Great Pillar Kingdom? He has been grasping the imperial examination for 50 years! ”

Li Wan'er didn't seem to care much about this matter, and said: "His Royal Highness is in poor health, this year it may be that Li Xiyue, the secretary of the Zhenxi Hou Military Department, will be presiding, and Feng Shuning, the head of the Tianyi Division, and Ling Junyao, the head of the Cexuan Division, will be supplemented!"

Sun Sizheng and the three of them couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it: "Unexpectedly...... They are all big shots, or good at military formations, such a terrifying lineup! ”

Li Wan'er looked out the window: "The world is not peaceful, and soon a big war will start, and the Western cadres have swallowed fifty-nine countries in a row!"

Sun Sizheng's faces changed greatly.

"Why do you open and close your mouths, it's a matter of the imperial court?"

The tavern owner on the side, a middle-aged woman who still had charm and smiled: "It is said that the Tianwu List has come out, and the number one master in the imperial capital has fallen to Li Zhiqiu, the head of the Supervision and Law Department this year?"

The owner of this wine shop is a master of the Nine Turns of the Earth Immortals, even if Li Wan'er and Sun Sizheng are court officials, they don't dare to hold it up, and they all bow their heads to signal.

Sun Sizheng said: "I heard that the head of the Department of Supervision and Law has entered the triple sea of yin and void, and he is indeed the number one master, but it is rumored that the strength of Lord Feng Shuning, the head of the Tianyi Division, is similar to him?"

The fat official shook his head and said: "If you want to say that cultivation is strength, in fact, you have to look at the Taiping Palace, the old palace master Jian Jiuqing does not mention it, and the palace master Yuan Chengfeng does not mention it, just the great elder of Shui Qingliu has entered the yang truth!"

Li Wan'er sneered: "Tianwu List, the number one master in the imperial capital, is talking about court officials, how can it be counted as a transcendent sect outside the Taiping Palace?"

"You can't say that, the number one master in the imperial capital, naturally you have to count it all, if you only talk about officials, then does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince count? It is reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also close to the Yin Void Realm, and there are also the second prince, the third prince, the king of Nanling, the princess of Jiuhuai, and the princess of Pingjiang......"

Sun Sizheng was still arguing, but found that the young man and the dog he had just seen outside had also entered the wine shop, so he sat not far away and asked for a pot of roasted knives, ten catties of cooked beef and a bowl of mutton noodles.

This old-fashioned way of eating is really rare in recent years.

Sun Sizheng looked at the young man carefully, maybe it was a problem of angle, but he didn't feel terrible, and there was a wave of anger in his heart for no reason, and he frowned and asked, "That young man, who are you?" Look at you, you don't dress like the people of Da Zhou, but do you have a guide? ”

This sentence instantly attracted the attention of the entire wine shop, especially Li Wan'er, whose willow eyebrows were slightly erect and her eyes were cold.

Xin Zhuo didn't raise his head, drank and ate beef by himself, and threw a glass to Xiao Huang by the way.

"I'm asking you!"

Sun Sizheng repeated.

Xin Zhuo still ignored it, as if he really didn't hear Sun Sizheng's words.

"Bang!"

The girl Li Wan'er suddenly slapped the table heavily, "Young man, your clothes are the attire of Western countries, what are your intentions in coming to Dazhou?" ”

"Huh?" The proprietress of the Dixian Master Tavern smiled and played a round game, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am doing business here, if I want to investigate the case, I will wait until my guests have finished eating and drinking, how about it?" ”

Sun Sizheng sneered: "Does he look like he has silver?"

The proprietress said: "It's not easy for young people to go out, there is no silver, I'll invite you this time!"

The group of people fell silent and simply drank to themselves, but their eyes stared at Xin Zhuo from time to time.

This young man is silent, and his dress is indeed not a person from the Great Zhou, and the recent Great Qian Empire has been fighting in all directions, and the news that it is coming soon is very loud, which makes people feel uneasy, in case there is a spies......

At this moment, a handsome girl of fourteen or fifteen years old suddenly broke in from outside the door, her face pale: "Help! Help me! ”

"Huh?"

Li Wan'er and Sun Sizheng stood up together, looking out coldly, in broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the imperial capital is heavy, who can rob the people's daughters?

I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old, oily-haired and powder-faced young man with three family members with a cruel smile on his face: "Little lady, where do I see you running?"

The moment they saw this young man, Li Wan'er and Sun Sizheng sat down, as if nothing had happened, and they drank vigorously.

The girl panicked, stumbled, and threw herself on an empty table, the young man laughed, and a tiger pounced on it, grabbed the girl's skirt, and ripped it off with a "tear": "Run?" Are you going to run again? ”

Seeing the girl's crying and wailing, Li Wan'er and the others' eyelids jumped slightly, but they were still indifferent.

Xin Zhuo finally looked up.

Xiao Huang under his feet said faintly: "It's this old-fashioned routine again, although it's fun, but what's the point?" Why is there no powerful woman robbing the people? ”

Xin Zhuo was silent.

Seeing that the girl was cleaned up, her face was like ashes, and she wanted to bite her tongue and kill herself, the proprietress of the wine shop, who had been watching coldly, suddenly stepped forward and stretched out a hand to block between the boy and the girl: "Stop!"

The young man was stunned, and looked up at her sharply: "You dare to stop me?" Hua Jiuniang, I know you, do you think you can stop me if you are an earth immortal? What are you? ”

The proprietress Hua Jiuniang smiled bitterly: "It's not easy for folk girls to practice, so naturally they can't afford to provoke Your Highness, but I can't ignore such nonsense in my wine shop!"

"Hua Jiu Niang!"

"Be careful!"

Li Wan'er and Sun Sizheng scolded in unison.

The young man also scolded: "You still dare to point out my identity? Hua Jiuniang, do you want to live, you cheap wine seller, no one in the whole emperor dares to care about my business, you dare to care, how many heads do you have enough to cut off? Do you believe that I killed your whole family? ”

Hua Jiuniang's eyes were slightly cold: "I only have one daughter, fourteen years old, who was abused to death by His Royal Highness last year!"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I remembered, I remembered, it's that little girl, it's really run!"

Hua Jiuniang's face was pale, and suddenly burst out with the momentum of the Earth Immortal Seven turning around, gently swinging away the young man, and shouting angrily: "His Royal Highness the King of Jiaojiang, enough, please don't be so presumptuous anymore!"

"Hua Jiu Niang!"

Li Wan'er and the others stood up and scolded again.

"You hurt me!" The young man stepped back and shouted angrily: "I'm going to burn down your liquor shop, and I'll be late with you."

"Who hurt my baby Ji Shun?"

Outside, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps and armor colliding, and a large group of soldiers and horses of the thirteen cities surrounded two hundred royal golden-armored iron horsemen, and a seven-horse carriage slowly approached.

Along the way, people gave way and knelt in the drizzle on both sides of the street.

Li Wan'er and Sun Sizheng hurriedly rushed to the door and bowed down: "The ministers have seen Her Royal Highness Princess Jiuhuai."

"Woo Woo ......"

The entire liquor shop was instantly surrounded by water, and not a single fly could fly.

"Crunch—"

The car stopped, and the eight palace ladies lifted the curtain, and out of it came a woman who seemed to be in her thirties, dressed in a phoenix robe, graceful and noble, dancing in a silk fluttering, and entering the wine shop, with a pair of phoenix eyes at a faint glance, and the momentum was overwhelming.

"Auntie!" The young King Jiaojiang threw himself into the woman's arms and cried: "My nephew has been bullied, and my nephew is going to the palace to tell my ancestor the Empress Dowager!"

Princess Jiuhuai's face became more and more cold, and she looked directly at Hua Jiuniang: "Cheap maid Hua Jiuniang, you are so bold!"

That Hua Jiuniang couldn't help but hug the smooth girl and retreated again and again, her face was slightly pale.

She is just the proprietress of the wine shop of the Seven Turns of the Earth Immortals, and the one in front of her is not only Her Royal Highness Princess Jiuhuai of the Imperial Court and the concubine of Her Majesty today, but also the Eight Turns of the Earth Immortals, whether it is the status of power or cultivation, it is a heaven and an underground.

She could almost have foreseen that she would die today, no, Ling Chi!

She didn't even know if it was right or wrong to save people.

Closing his eyes, two tears slipped through the corners of his eyes: "I heard that the Great Zhou Dynasty is clear and clear, and it is the pure land of the world, so I brought my daughter to live in seclusion...... There is no justice in this world! ”

"There is no justice for the people, and the prince is justice, otherwise why be a prince?"

The princess of Jiuhuai said something incomprehensible, and slowly approached, her aura extremely powerful.

The Jiaojiang King behind him made a grimace, ran to Xin Zhuo's table on the side, and spat at Hua Jiuniang: "Ling Chi hurts a lot!"

"Purr ......"

At this moment, there was a snoring sound of eating noodles next to him.

This voice was particularly loud in the extremely tense atmosphere of the wine shop, and everyone couldn't help but look at it in surprise.

Li Wan'er, Sun Sizheng and the others frowned, if it wasn't for the wrong time, they really wanted to kill that young man.

King Jiaojiang also said angrily: "Idiot, what about killing, can you eat quietly?" Believe it or not, I killed your dog! ”

The next moment, a sudden change occurred.

The young man who was eating suddenly stuck the noodle bowl on the head of the king of Jiaojiang, and then without waiting for the king of Jiaojiang to react, he grabbed his neck and fell to his feet, then raised one foot, stepped on his little head, and continued to drink, as if nothing had happened.

This scene was so sudden that the entire wine shop, including the street outside, was instantly silent.

Hua Jiuniang, who was holding the girl not far away, was also completely stunned, even if she hated this evil king, she just gently shook it away.

"Presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

Li Wan'er, Sun Sizheng, and Princess Jiuhuai rushed like arrows from the string.

However, as soon as he arrived, he stopped like a rat.

The King of Jiaojiang is at the feet of this person, this person looks uncultivated on the surface, but he has just shown his hand, I am afraid that his strength is not weak, he is not a pity to die, but it is difficult to protect the life of the King of Jiaojiang, that is the lifeblood of the Queen Mother in the palace, that is, the current prince, it seems that there is no King of Jiaojiang!

"Who is this person?" Princess Jiuhuai was furious and waved the long sleeves of her phoenix robe heavily.

Li Wan'er arched her hand and said: "Back to Your Highness, this person is dressed in shabby clothes and has a unique style, I am afraid that he is from the Western countries!"

Princess Jiuhuai said angrily: "What are the Xuan Division, the Zhenwu Division, the Supervision Law Division, and the Fengjian Division doing, the King of Jiaojiang is trapped, let Ning Zhiwei and Lu Jiu die!" Once known by the ancestors in the palace, no one wants to live! ”

"Whoa!"

Outside the door, there is a master burning incense and transmitting sound.

Princess Jiuhuai looked directly at Xin Zhuo: "Young man, let go of King Jiaojiang, there is still a glimmer of life!"

Xin Zhuo continued to drink, he didn't want to be nosy, the Yuan Ji Wu Yun Tongxuan, every move, not into the ordinary, this world's five elements gossip casually, everyone present is as fragile and unbearable as ants, and it is very likely that they are just descendants and children, and they can be ignored directly, it's just that he owes the proprietress Hua Jiuniang a meal of wine money, he really doesn't have any silver, he has never liked to owe favors.

At this time, he raised his head and looked at Princess Jiuhuai: "Princess? Is this Da Zhou still surnamed Ji? Where did Ji Yu's puppy go? ”

As soon as the words fell, the surroundings fell silent again.

Li Wan'er, Sun Sizheng and the others glanced at each other, their faces were pale, and they trembled like chaff, as if they had difficulty breathing.

A large number of officials outside and the captains of the Thirteen Cities Terracotta Division had earth-colored faces.

Princess Jiuhuai couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Who are you?" If you dare to offend His Majesty the Emperor, the emperor's grandfather, you will be punished by the nine clans! ”

"That son of a dog became a grandfather?"

Xin Zhuo answered the question, and paused in the action of drinking.

Dogs? He called His Majesty the Emperor a dog!

The so-called king humiliated the ministers to death, and the entire wine shop was shrouded in a strong and violent killing intent.

"Wow......"

At this moment, three figures appeared strangely in the room, a woman and two men, both of whom looked to be forty or fifty years old, wearing purple robes and jade belts, majestic and powerful.

In an instant, the momentum actually suppressed Princess Jiuhuai.

Among them, the woman had gray temples, a straight posture, and her hands behind her back, and said indifferently: "What is the matter with Your Highness?"

Princess Jiuhuai can be regarded as having found the backbone, and her tone is slightly respectful: "The three chief priests came just in time, this evil young man who came from nowhere trapped the king of Jiaojiang, should be killed, should be ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the three chief priests scolding in unison: "Shut up!"

"Uh......" Princess Jiuhuai, Li Wan'er, and Sun Sizheng looked at the three chief priests in a daze, even if the three of them were veterans of the Five Dynasties, the Son of Heaven respected a little bit, how could they dare to refute the royal princess?

However, in the next moment, I saw three big people who were high in the past, and Shenlong saw the head and tail, looking at the young man who was drinking with a dull face, his body trembled, his face was weird, and he was short of breath, and suddenly bowed to the end in unison, bowed to the bow, and his tone trembled:

"Ministers, ministers, etc...... Greetings to ...... His Majesty the Holy Ancestor has returned! ”
