Chapter 95, Your Majesty Shengming, has lost sight

Capital.

Vertical arch hall.

The old emperor lazily lay on the sandalwood soft couch, pillowing the gold silk pillow woven by the silkworms this year, looking at the appeal recital, the old eunuch Cao Yan stood respectfully aside, and the two palace maids behind him gently shook the long-handled feather fan to add wind and repel mosquitoes for the emperor.

The hall was fragrant, and the two important ministers wearing purple robes and wearing sara hats sat sideways, holding the leather belt inlaid with gold and jade around their waists with their hands.

The purple robe is a first-class court dress in the current dynasty, and there is no need to bow to the emperor, in addition to the prince in the current dynasty, it is the three masters and three dukes and other honorary people.

It is Qi Taishi and Xiao Taifu.

This time the admonition came for the emperor to suddenly pardon Zhao Zhengli.

It's just a pardon, why did he also crown him as the captain of the light car on the Changning Army on Hedong Road?

They are all cronies of the emperor, and there is no need to learn from others to figure it out, so today they will retire from the dynasty and face the saint alone to explore the true intentions of the old emperor.

Not hiding their minds is the way for them to survive in their stupidity, and it is also in line with the appetite of the old emperor's manipulation of people.

But how many stupid people can sit in the position of Taishi and Taifu? It's nothing more than knowing the pros and cons of homeopathy, so as to disguise yourself as wise and foolish.

The old emperor looked at the words revealed between the lines of the book, and the words such as the rebellious minister's widow were in endless trouble, and the words such as letting the tiger return to the mountain were full of smiles.

Combined with the antecedents of their million-dollar bounty, it can be seen that the two of them hate the rebellious ministers more than him, the emperor.

He was pleased.

After a long time, he slowly put down the book, looked at Taishi Xiao with a smile on his face, and finally landed on Taishi Qi, who was full of wrinkles: "Brother Longbi, if you remember correctly, you have been more than eighty years old this year, right?" ”

turned to the slightly younger Mrs. Xiao again: "Brother Xiao has also passed the age of ancient times!" ”

The two of them were like two monks, they were confused, and they thought that the old emperor was disgusted with his old age, or he had committed something recently, which was a precursor to persuading him to retreat.

The two of them were in a hurry, and Mrs. Xiao finally looked at his eldest brother Qi Taishi, and Qi Taishi got up and saluted the old emperor: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister is eighty and three this year." Then he sighed and said: "Although people are old, their hearts are not old, and the original intention of serving Your Majesty is still there." ”

Mrs. Xiao also hurriedly echoed: "The same goes for the old minister!" ”

The old emperor was full of feelings, as if returning to the era of the strife of the Ten Kingdoms: "I have been running around all my life, so I naturally have to give the old brother a stable old age, I pardoned Zhao Zhengli, arranged for him to go north to Hedong Road, and made him the captain of the Changning Army's four products on the light car, and the title has no real power to hold, what he wants is to let him take the rivers and lakes to the border and use the power of the rivers and lakes to resist the Khitan, Tubo, and Western Xia." ”

Qi Taishi added: "What if the rebellious minister's widow drives the rivers and lakes to disturb the border fortress? Or is it lured by other countries, which is not good for Qingguo? ”

The old emperor waved his hand: "Then Zhao Zhengli and the rivers and lakes of Tubo, Western Xia, Khitan and other countries are completely torn, which is well known in the rivers and lakes. Secondly, although he has no father or mother, and is even hostile to the current dynasty, but with Qingchengshan and his seven senior brothers, he will definitely not be a traitor, which has been fulfilled on the coast of the East China Sea two days ago. ”

Then he sighed: "I am by no means a ruthless person, presumably you two also know the secret feelings of his parents, and besides, although Zhao Tianshi does not ask about mundane things, he has never asked about his parents, he has been diligent and diligent for Qingguo all these years, but after all, he has a vague relationship with that Zhao Zhengli, if he kills all his worldly heart, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on." ”

Mrs. Xiao said: "It's just a great grandmaster, what's there to be afraid of? ”

The old emperor asked rhetorically: "What if Qingcheng Mountain participates?" At present, I learned that the second person has touched the threshold of the land immortals, and he went down the mountain to support Zhao Zhengli, pushed the Northern Shaolin and Cangzhou Du families, and recently fought the four great masters in Dengzhou. Even if you win, it will hurt the foundation of the country, what should you do when the border comes? ”

The two were silent for a while, at first Zhao Hongyun didn't have to care too much, even if he was a guest of Longhu Mountain, the Dragon Tiger Sect Zhang Tianshi would not follow him to oppose the imperial court.

But now that he has the backing of the Qingcheng faction, he understands why the old emperor suddenly issued a decree to pardon the rebellious son who was originally determined by him.

After all, exterminating the Jianghu sect is time-consuming and laborious, and the gains outweigh the losses, according to the perspective of businessmen, no matter how it is calculated, it is a loss-making business.

Therefore, temples and rivers and lakes are well water for many times, and river water is not changed.

The old emperor continued: "The rivers and lakes and temples have been quiet for two years, and now those rebels are also about to move, this Qingguo is a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, and the internal undercurrent has begun to surge, and the Khitan and other countries have shouted many times, I don't want to make extraneous branches to intensify the contradictions in the rivers and lakes." ”

Then he sighed: "If you can unite this force of the rivers and lakes to fight against foreign powers with the border army, Qingguo is destined to be peaceful for a long time." ”

The two masters and masters were silent for a long time, and when they said this, they understood the emperor's intentions and scruples, one thing is certain, the rebellious minister's widow was really pardoned, and at the same time, he was also arranged to go north to the desolate border, the border was bitterly cold, and the war was endless, not surprisingly, he had no chance to be with the court in his life.

The two figured this out, and bowed their heads deeply: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

——

The waves on the vast East China Sea were undulating, and several waves of Haikou sailed into an outflanking momentum to surround the big ship, and the big ship turned its rudder and withdrew to the northwest.

The slightly closer Haikou was already within 100 meters, and the old captain shouted softly, "Release the arrows", and the ship was waiting for a rain of arrows with bows and crossbows, mixed with fuel catapults.

Arrows pass through like locusts, and fireballs fall like comets.

The person who had been standing steadily on the sailboat moved at this moment, and he actually pulled up a piece of long cloth and took it into the air to hold the sharp arrows that were galloping, and his body rotated and kicked the fireball, and then threw out the wrapped arrows.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow feather turned back at double speed, and the guys on the deck of the ship stared in shock, and the blazing fireball was kicked away? A piece of cloth can hold a sharp arrow? The point is that the toss returns faster than the bowstring is drawn. This was beyond their comprehension, and they instinctively ducked their heads in the face of the arrows galloping back.

However, after waiting for a few breaths, I didn't hear the sound of the arrow falling on the deck, let alone the pain of my unfortunate arrow, and the wailing of my companions.

When they raised their heads vigilantly and saw the scene that they would never forget, dozens of arrows that had gone and returned actually hovered in the void a foot away, as if they were frozen by some mysterious force.

At that time, the dazed boat guys looked around and saw the handsome man in the white robe wave his big sleeves, and the hovering arrow turned the arrow and shot out.

The speed is so fast that it is difficult to catch the trajectory with the naked eye.

The next moment, I only heard the sails of the pirate ship popping, the canvas was broken, the sail rod was broken, the hull was pierced, and there were screams, and even the "fairy figure" who had just kicked the fireball and covered the sharp arrows with the cloth was inevitably suffering.

A little farther away, the sails of the three or two pirates turned around and fled decisively, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the other party had a superior existence, and they didn't think that they could act as a million soldiers and consume each other alive.

The situation turned around so quickly that if it weren't for the drowning sailboat in the ocean and the blood that had not yet dispersed, the crew would have thought they were hallucinating.

The swarthy and fat old captain was as dumbfounded as a ghost, and his mouth was wide and round, and he did not hide his scarce yellowed old teeth.

I only heard the white-robed handsome boy say lightly: "Then go east!" ”

The voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, and the tone was so calm that it was like swatting a few flies.

Where did the old captain dare to snub such an immortal figure, and hurriedly reacted: "Okay, okay, Yuan Zhenren went into the cabin to rest, no, no, Yuan Shenxian, Yuan Tianren!" ”

Yuan Chaoyang smiled brightly: "It's better to call Yuan Daochang appropriate!" ”

The dark and fat old captain grinned back, but his forehead was unconsciously sweating, and he was secretly glad that he was not disrespectful to these five, if it weren't for the repeated reminders of the head of the Du family, he really couldn't guarantee that those hungry and thirsty rough men below would have crooked thoughts about those three fairy-like beauties.

On weekdays, those rough men with big shoulders and thick waists were also silent at this moment, and even became careful in their breathing, for fear of hindering several immortal figures from harvesting the aura of heaven and earth.

Thinking of his earlier attitude, cold sweat broke out on his spine.

Yuan Chaoyang and the five of them went back to the cabin as if they had nothing to do, but after this incident, the status of several people on the ship was infinitely improved, and they were almost offered to the point of burning incense and bowing.

In this way, he spent three days, during which he encountered two storm twists and turns, both of which were saved under the command of an experienced old captain.

Even skipping a few islands, you can see human activities sporadically, and there are also a few people who practice martial arts looking across the sea, but they don't cause big trouble.

Early morning of the fourth day.

At the end of the vast East China Sea, a fish's belly was white, and a black dragon was vaguely seen lying across the East China Sea, blocking the connection between the sea and the sky.

When the first rays of the morning sun rise, the heavens and the earth gradually brighten, and the true face of the "black dragon" can be seen clearly, which is a green and lush behemoth continent.

According to the old captain, it is Donghai City Island, which was a place where sea bandits gathered more than ten years ago, and all the seafaring ships in the past called it "Devil Island".

About seven or eight years ago, the overall situation of the reunification of Qingguo had been decided, and the loyal ministers of the late Tang Dynasty, who had not been able to recover in the turbulent times of the Ten Kingdoms, retreated all the way eastward, and finally swept and oppressed the Middle East in Qingguo and crossed out to sea.

It was also because of this that he found this huge island by mistake, and Li Xiaozhong and the remaining soldiers landed on the island to occupy a place.

Li Xiaozhong recuperated for several months, and the regular soldiers he led were to crush the rabble on the island, and they were good at scheming and attacking their scheming, almost overwhelming, and the pirates either surrendered and were recruited, or ruthlessly pushed sideways, and in less than two years, they completely controlled the island and renamed it "Donghai City".

Soon Qingguo knew that in order to eliminate the disaster, he launched many encirclements and suppressions, but Donghai City became more and more reliable and powerful in the encirclement and suppression, and it was not until recent years that Qingguo was unable to defend against the northern foreign powers.

While chatting, the island gradually approached, inch by inch, Zhao Zhengli and Yuan Chaoyang discussed and decided to bypass Donghai City and march eastward.

If they land on this island, I am afraid that the news will reach Qingguo in less than half a month.

Although there is a vast sea area between the two places, the city lord and the imperial court are also hostile, but the monks who come and go are all free bodies, and this coming and going will inevitably leak the rumors, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Qingcheng Mountain to raise its head in the rivers and lakes at that time.

However, it backfired, and three or two figures rose in the sky on the huge island.

There are also three or five major ships departing from the island pier.

Far away, I heard the old man laughing.

"The coast of the East China Sea in Dengzhou was only a few days away, and the old Yang Sili and the city lord came to Yuan Daoyou across the sea. Ha ha! ”

I can hear that the other party is in a happy mood and even surprised.

Another thick middle-aged voice came.

"In the Lower East China Sea City, the city lord Li Xiaozhong greets the second master of Qingcheng, and makes the island flourish!"

Before the people approached, the sound had arrived, and just hearing the name of "City Lord of Donghai City" made the old captain and others frightened, and with the ability to rise in the air, they mistakenly thought that they had entered the Immortal Island.

They seemed to think of a question in their panic at a loss, that is, they surrendered their identities in front of Yuan Daochang and greeted each other in person, so what kind of identity did Yuan Daochang have?

You can see in advance from a long distance, so this method is comparable to that of an immortal, right?

However, Zhao Zhengli and Yuan Chaoyang have sorted out the ins and outs.

It is impossible to communicate with heaven and earth without reaching the land immortal heaven and human realm, and it is impossible to understand thousands of miles of things, it must be the sailing ship Haikou who escaped a few days ago to Donghai City to tell the encounter, and it has reached the ears of the people above, and it is being confirmed.

After all, the ship is so large that it is not difficult to spot.

However, what surprised everyone was that Yuan Daochang didn't seem to give a good face, and responded in a cold tone: "There is no need to land on the island, please forgive me for the disturbance caused by passing through this place." ”

After that, the white-robed boy stood on the bow deck, his sleeves were raised, and the true qi around him was gathered like a tide, and then the two sleeves were thrown back, and the giant ship was automatically moving fast, like a spaceship that cut through the ocean, and the man on the deck was suddenly accelerated and fell to the ground, and the sea breeze was whistling in his ears, blowing and he couldn't open his eyes, and the sea breeze poured into his mouth and nose, making it difficult to breathe, and his cheeks were even more painful. ”

Dozens of men who were paddling with oars under the deck were suddenly inertia breaking free from the oar handle, and only heard the waves outside, which frightened everyone for a while.

Kuizi, who commanded the paddling, hurriedly went to the deck to check, but the wind was blowing, and he squinted to see that the huge ship was moving rapidly, and the waves at the stern of the ship were rowing left and right, and the speed was comparable to a meteor breaking through the sky.

And in such a stormy environment, the white-robed figure stood firmly on the bow deck, the white robe swayed wildly, the hunting sounded, but the people did not move, and the majestic figure made the rough men respect like gods.

At that time, there were two figures in the rear galloping through the air to chase the giant ship, and the old voice that had called himself Yang Sili earlier could be heard from a distance.

"Yuan Chaoyang, you can't help but put a little bit of the score! How can it be the same as the three old loaches in the temple, the old man and the city lord personally invited each other, and they refused to stay and greet each other, this is the upbringing of Qingcheng Mountain? ”

It's just that there is no smile at all at the moment, and the tone full of majesty is terrifying.

The city lord of Donghai City also spoke: "Daoist Yuan, you control the giant ship with your true qi, not to mention the trouble, and it is a burden, how far can you run?" I heard Her Royal Highness the princess say that your little junior brother still has an old friendship with her, and this kind of relationship should also let the lord of the city do his best to be a landlord and stay on the island for a few days. ”

Yuan Chaoyang didn't pay any attention, everyone only felt that the oncoming sea breeze was becoming more and more manic, the boat was moving faster, and the inverted sea breeze was suffocating.

However, the speed of the ship increased several times at this time, and if you were to watch from the sea, you would definitely be surprised, the huge ship flew almost close to the sea level, the speed was fleeting, and the naked eye only felt a huge black shadow flashing, and then the huge waves and winds it brought swept the sea in all directions.

The extreme speed made the old captain faint directly, and the dozens of ordinary rough men couldn't hold out a few breaths and fell unconscious one by one.

As an ordinary person, Yang Guifen didn't last long, and in the end, it was Zhao Zhengli who poured true qi into him, so that his sister-in-law's consciousness was still there, and he would not faint completely.

It was Yu Xiaowei, Li Zhanyi and others who were also confused here, in a state of difficulty breathing and grogginess.

The whole ship was left alone with Yuan Chaoyang and Zhao Zhengli, who was barely sober.

Zhao Zhengli could clearly perceive that the giant ship was really flying, and the speed was amazing.

What shocked him even more was what kind of realm Senior Brother Yuan had reached? He actually took a huge ship to quickly get rid of the two great masters and chase after him.

At the beginning, he envied his understanding in the mountain gate, but now it is his turn to envy the realm of his senior brother!
