These days, it is rare to have an autumn rain in Jiankang City, Kyoto, of the Great Jin Dynasty.

As the so-called autumn rain and cold, the capital has always had scarce rain, and it is even more shallow in autumn.

The very center of Jiankang City is the location of Weiyang Palace, the highest authority of the entire Great Jin Kingdom.

Weiyang Palace has a history of two Jiazi, it was established by Sima Yan, the founding lord of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is the place of recuperation of the kings of the past dynasties, and it is also the palace that the common people of the Jin Kingdom hate.

In the twilight, the Weiyang Palace was already brightly lit, and the eunuchs and maids outside the palace swam cautiously in accordance with the royal system, following the rules.

According to the words of the people above, it sounds good to let the current lord of the dynasty not have any accidents, and the ugly point is that the big Sima Huan Wen is monitoring Sima Yi's every move.

In this negligent but not leaky Skynet, there was a man in a fancy costume who hurriedly walked through the heavy guards and went straight to Weiyang Palace, which was really too different from the difficulty of the eunuch maid.

"Young Master Xiao, you're back, Your Majesty can talk about you recently." A sharp-eyed rat-eyed eunuch saw it from afar, was overjoyed, bent down and walked up quickly, "Do you want to make a small report?" ”

The young man known as Xiao Gongzi had a gloomy face, and he didn't look at the flattering eunuch, probably because he was in the way, he didn't hold back, raised his foot and kicked it directly.

Rumble!

The eunuch's figure flew upside down on the spot, and after a violent contraction of pupils, his body fell straight down, and there was no longer any life.

The young man in the costume sneered.

The palace maid at the bottom seemed to be accustomed to this killing, but she felt connected to the fate of the popular eunuch beside the lord of the country, who wanted to take the opportunity to climb the inferior behavior of the moody young man.

The prince surnamed Xiao stood in front of the white jade steps outside the Weiyang Palace for a long time, his face was calm and calm, he thought for a moment, beckoned slightly to call the little eunuch, and asked for the fire fold hidden in his sleeve, and after lighting the lamps on both sides of the palace wall, he slowly stepped outside the palace gate, waiting for the puppet emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

After the rain stopped, the starry sky above the night was bright, and there was a different scene, but unfortunately the prince in the costume didn't care, even if he only needed to raise his head slightly to see this scene by a slight arc, he still didn't squint, and his breath was restrained.

About an hour later, a young man wearing a yellow gauze background embroidered gold and gilt clothes, with a collar and sleeves of stone blue, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon figure walked in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace.

Sima Yi, the eleventh lord of the Great Jin Kingdom, forty-one years old, was born by the first emperor canonized the king of the East China Sea, successively served as a loose cavalry attendant, a general of the chariot cavalry, born in the imperial family can be described as both ability and political integrity, before ascending the throne was when the first emperor Sima Pi listened to the rumors of the traitorous Fang Shi in pursuit of the way of eternal life, took a large number of "elixir" and died, because there was no child under the knee, Sima Yi is his twin brother, then it is self-evident who the throne will be.

This birth is a man who stands at the top, the so-called is to occupy the right time, place and people, but there is a great Sima Huanwen monopolizing the power of the government, and there are five Hu and sixteen countries in the north outside.

There is a famine in the homes of the people in remote towns, the people are eating each other, the children are cannibalistic, there are men who mislead the country with softness as beauty, and there are even more absurd situations of weak women holding guns and going into battle to kill the enemy.

Such actions of the Great Jin Dynasty are naturally indispensable to the shame of the official eunuchs of the neighboring country Qingyang, and these ridicules naturally fall on Sima Yi, who is the king of the Jin Kingdom, which is simply ridiculous.

Sima Yi retracted his floating mind, glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs of all shapes and sizes in the palace, shook his head slightly, and looked at the stars in the sky slightly, sighed secretly, and smiled for no reason: "Mr. Xiao came this time, but what important things are coming from the border?" ”

Now that it is the end of the time, it is naturally the time when the chief eunuch will report to the lord of the country the pickled things that can be seen in the middle of the day, but Weiyang Palace is really deserted except for the sparse lights and the two of them.

The son surnamed Xiao put away the folding fan in his hand, bent down and made a courtesy, and did not speak.

"I haven't seen you for six years, and Mr. Xiao still pays so much attention to the complicated etiquette of this dynasty." Sima Yi's tone was quite helpless.

The young man in Huafu stood up, tapped his waist with one hand, revealing the dark green jade pendant on his waist, and at the same time, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty has a life-saving grace for the Xiao family, although Xiao is a person who can only do some kung fu, but he still knows what the word loyalty and filial piety mean." ”

Sima Yi was silent for a moment, at this time, there was still a trace of imperial majesty on his face, only the peasant man was sad in the face of the lack of harvest of agricultural seeds, he waved his hand, "It's getting late, if Mr. Xiao has nothing else to do, I will rest first." ”

The young man in the costume nodded, said no more, and as he was leaving, he suddenly took out a dark green jade slip the size of a fingernail from his bosom and handed it to the man in the dragon robe quietly, making the latter stunned.

"Your Majesty, this is the sum of the observation of the eldest prince and the northward front in the past six years, before going north, Qin Yibian outside the immortal sect has been faintly able to dominate the sixteen kingdoms, in the next guess, I am afraid that within half a year, I will lead the remaining fifteen countries to the south, and the situation of the Great Jin is ......"

There is no need to finish a sentence, the information revealed in it is not small, the sword-wielding generals and martial artists in the Great Jin Dynasty are not a few, if you avoid the northern countries with monks on the mountain, and the Qingyang Dynasty of Linguo can also compete for victory, but if there are really so many ifs in the world, it must be excellent for the old and young who have experienced life and death.

Looking at the entire Great Jin Dynasty, except for the old Guan Master Zhang who wandered around and didn't know where to go, there was only one person who cultivated in the Huiyang Realm, the ancestor of the protector of the country, Sima Nanmu, and there was only one, even if the sect relied on by the northern countries could only be regarded as third-rate in the cultivation world, but as long as the word monk was touched, it was really something that the Great Jin Dynasty could not afford to provoke for generations.

The middle-aged man sighed deeply, even if Sima Yu's deep popular heart, even the great Sima Huanwen intentionally or unintentionally wanted to abolish him, the puppet emperor who had no power in the government, and promote the crown prince Sima Yu, he just followed up, as long as the emperor after the Great Jin Dynasty was still surnamed Sima, the middle-aged man was worthy of the old ancestor, as for who would be the emperor, in fact, the middle-aged emperor didn't care too much, but for the former Qin mentioned by the son surnamed Xiao, it was big for a while, and the world only knew that "by the heavens, both longevity and eternal prosperity", But I don't know that the superior is the most taboo to do what he can, and the clan infighting is also more fierce than the competition for family wealth in the mortal family, and the loss of life is slight, and the more ferocious is to slaughter the people with the same surname.

It's just for a seal, fighting for the heroes of the troubled times, is it really so ruthless?

Sima Yi thought that he couldn't do it, and he didn't dare to think about it one more word.

After reporting the recent situation, the son surnamed Xiao was silent.

The middle-aged man frowned, and didn't delve into this matter that made people feel a headache just thinking about it, but just asked, "I recently heard that there is a ghost in a remote town over there in Wulingyuan, and the palace sent Yu'er there?" ”

The son surnamed Xiao wanted to speak and stopped.

In fact, no matter how bold Huan Wen is, he will not be delusional enough to kick the emperor to the throne, no matter how he has to find fault, right? Therefore, in addition to being banned from leaving the capital, this puppet emperor will fall on him with the performance of the Chinese official, Huan Wen has no attitude at all at this point, but what is recorded is nothing more than some trivial things, what Wulingyuan Zhang family died an old man to hold a birthday ceremony, the king of the capital Qilin'er took a big show to feast for three days and three nights, as for the real record of the imperial court affairs of the folding flowers, Sima Yi and the minister of culture and military affairs everyone knows well, Sima Yi can only close his eyes in these things to survive so far, With Da Sima Huan Wen in his heart, no one will pierce this layer of gauze.

Emperor Dajin's words did not freeze in the slightest, "If I remember correctly, this time Yu'er and his party were the decision of Evergrande Sima." ”

The son surnamed Xiao and Sima Yi met their eyes for a moment, and each nodded slightly.

The Great Jin Emperor smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, but what happened to Yu'er along the way?" ”

Sima Yu is now the crown prince of the dynasty, with Huan Wen's support behind him, where will something happen, even if something really happens, it is nothing more than a trivial matter.

If the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty asked others, he would naturally be destined to not be answered, but now the prince surnamed Xiao just said softly: "Accompanied the prince to the Eighteen Secret Guards, except for the one that I didn't see, the rest is nothing serious." ”

The middle-aged man was furious, "Former Qin really deceived me and no one in Dajin?!" ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that." The look of the young man in the costume changed uncertainly.

"Huh? Mr. Xiao seemed to know something. Sima Yi heard the cattiness in the words, and the previous face of wanting to swear to the death with the former Qin had long since disappeared.

"This ......," the young man in the costume hesitated for a moment.

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Is it difficult for Mr. Xiao to hide anything from me?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't blame!" The young man surnamed Xiao shook his head, knowing that he couldn't hide it, as if he was a little helpless, "When I accompanied the prince to Qinglin Town to catch ghosts, I met a young monk with a sword on his back, and Your Majesty also understands that our Dajin Secret Guard is not small, but his temper is higher than the sky, so he naturally had some unpleasant quarrels with that young man." ”

The Great Jin Emperor standing in the Weiyang Palace couldn't hide his disappointment, it turned out that he was just a young monk.

Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is estimated that there are only two mountain immortals living in the present world, compared with the five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms in the north, it is simply a small thing, but why are there only mortals and no monks in the war between the two sides, then we have to mention the Baiyun Taoist Temple, the Taoist Zhang Laoguan Lord, with the power of only one person to deter a third-rate immortal sect, the book said that "soldiers are fine but not many" presumably so, in fact, what is lacking in the current Great Jin is not actually a teenager who has embarked on the road of cultivation, but a "top monk" in the age of ancient times, It's just that the next words of the son surnamed Xiao really surprised Sima Yi.

"That young man's face should be no more than two or three out of ten, and his cultivation is still unknown, but his sword is purer than Sima's sword 'Sword Saint', Xiao guesses that the young man should be a disciple from the Xianjia sect over there in Shu."

Although the current Great Jin Dynasty is not full of monks, it is not uncommon for monks from the outside world to come to seek opportunities, so it is not surprising that some family officials in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty can know the word monk, but they only know a little bit of skin, and they can't talk about it.

The middle-aged man was a little speechless: "Such a big matter, why didn't Mr. Xiao report it as soon as possible?" ”

How noble a sword cultivator is, when he comes to a small place like Dajin, as the lord of the country in Dajin, he should go to see him now.

"Because that sword cultivator's cultivation is far inferior to Sima's predecessor, he left alone after killing a secret guard, I thought that he should have gone to the Wulingyuan realm, so he didn't disturb Your Majesty."

The identity of the son surnamed Xiao is about to come out, it is Xiao Qing who can only "play in the mountains and rivers", after the unhappy farewell of Ning Chuyi before dawn that day, the group of people had no idea, so they had to return to the capital in a mighty way, Sima Yu returned all the way in vain, and his heart was not good, so he naturally ignored Xiao Qing, who left first, only when he went to the Spring Building to be happy.

Xiao Qing, who is dressed in gorgeous clothes, has good martial arts, since he can be lurking beside the eldest prince at a young age without being discovered, his heart is not as chic as on the surface, in fact, this Xiao Gongzi, who was named "cynical" by the world, was born in a martial arts family, and has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he is admired in the entire Great Jin Dynasty and the rivers and lakes, and he can beat this one only by a hand, if it is not for the defeat of the Xiao family and the intention to lie down and taste the courage, Xiao Qing can be called the young talent of the Great Jin Kingdom, there is no one.

The Great Jin Emperor in a dragon robe seemed to remember something, and he couldn't help but have a headache, and asked casually: "I haven't seen Princess Nianci for a few days, I don't know who she has been bullied by recently?" ”

The face of the prince in the robe was full of calm and couldn't help but be full of wry smiles when he heard the word Nian Ci, obviously very helpless about the princess's "lively and cheerful" savage nature, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Her Royal Highness the princess has been like this since she was a child, she has always been like a child, not to mention that she is also deeply favored by Sima seniors, not to mention the whole world, where is the little princess in the Great Jin Dynasty not a miasma when she appears?" When others see it, they can't avoid it, and it's too late to be afraid, how can they have the idea of bullying the little princess Nianci? ”

The lord of the Great Jin Kingdom also realized the casualness of his words, and couldn't help but quip: "You and the ancestor are used to her." ”

The prince of Huapao bowed his head slightly, and his tone was very excited, "My subordinates don't dare to do this, the little princess is extremely talented, if nothing else, she will be the third mountain monk in my Great Jin, and by that time, my Great Jin will be prosperous for at least a hundred years!" ”

Sima Yi saw the long-term, bowed his head slightly, looked at the starry sky with deep eyes, shook his head, turned around and pushed open the door of Weiyang Palace, did not look back all the way, and when he was about to close the door and go to bed, he suddenly turned around and said softly in a very low voice: "Mr. Xiao also said that it is not an accident, the book says that it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night, and no one can say whether this big Sima Huan Wen's mind is biased towards Dajin or Qingyang." ”

The son surnamed Xiao stayed where he was.

At this time, the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you." ”

Xiao Qing's body was obviously stunned, and then he came to the middle-aged man, bowed his waist slightly, and said in a low voice: "Outsiders all say that the prince is as gentle as water and is not good at fighting, but rumors are rumors after all, and they can't be put on the stage, so Your Majesty still has to be very vigilant." ”

In all dynasties, there will be no shortage of big and small things in the imperial city, among which the example of the prince killing his father and killing the monarch to seek power and usurp the throne is very common.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, as if he was a little absent-minded, but then he waved his hand to show that he knew.

Bowing over and watching the Great Jin Emperor, who was a generation higher than him, slowly walked into the Weiyang Palace, and then closed the palace door, Xiao Qing couldn't tell what it was like to feel in his heart, he had been in the palace for less than half a year, but the royal rumors from the palace maids and eunuchs were extremely poor, but Xiao Qing only believed that he had heard and watched, what was the character of this puppet emperor, he knew best, if the front line of the Great Jin Dynasty was really lost, no matter what the wind direction of the capital was, just looking at the people of the world, he would definitely splash all the filth and nonsense on Sima Yi.

The boy in the costume was stunned, and he only felt that this was wrong.

"Xiao Qing, what are you doing here, my father can't appreciate the temperament of eating, drinking, and having fun."

After Xiao Qing stood outside Weiyang Palace for about half an hour of incense, a scattered voice sounded, and a young man in his twenties in a purple robe walked in with his hands on his back, and when he saw Xiao Qing, he immediately stopped and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xiao Qingqing shook his senses, turned around and glanced at the prince, ignored it, and just walked away quickly.

Sima Yu was a little stunned.

At this time, Xiao Qing and the young man in Chinese clothes who were full of flattery in his impression.

It's not quite the same.
