"Thousands of miles to the dragon."

Old man Li's expression froze, and he slowly said five words.

"Thousands of miles to pick up the faucet?"

Li Ran's eyes lit up, obviously interested, and continued to ask, "Grandpa, what is this?" ”

Old man Li was not in a hurry to explain, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and tapped the table.

Li Ran poured him another cup very familiarly, and the old man Li slowly spoke. "Connecting the dragon head for thousands of miles is a very grand etiquette in the rivers and lakes a hundred years ago, and only the sect will use it when welcoming a very important person."

"It's usually the six most valuable people in the sect who go to pick people up one after another."

"If the identity of the person being picked up is more valuable, there will be even more people who will pick it up."

"Regarding the etiquette of connecting the dragon head for thousands of miles, all the sects in the rivers and lakes have also reached a tacit consensus."

"The identity and reputation of the person being accepted must be recognized by the entire rivers and lakes before the sect can use this special etiquette." "The last time I used this etiquette was a hundred years ago at the Chengnan Academy."

"At that time, the academy sent a total of nine people to welcome their big sacrificial wine, which caused a sensation."

"There are only nine people to pick up the academy festival wine?"

Li Ran snapped his fingers and said suspiciously: "Then the first team of heavy cavalry in the northern border is thirteen people, and the twelve teams are already more than a hundred people, what kind of big man should they take!" ”

"Could it be Martial King Zhao De?"

Old man Li shook his head: "No, if Zhao De leaves the northern border, the whole world will probably tremble, and it will never be as calm as it is now." ”

As for the appearance of the black armor elite horse in the north near Jiangdu City, whether the big and small officials in Tai'an City will be messed up, and even whether the one who sits on the dragon chair and listens to the world can still sit still, he doesn't know.

Tai'an City, the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty.

One of the four famous cities in the world.

Although it is often said that the East Gu City, the West White Emperor, the South Tai'an, and the North Reject the North, in fact, the name of the South Tai'an has always been the most controversial.

It's not that it doesn't deserve the title of one of the four famous cities in the world, but its geographical location is not southern.

Nantai'an is only southerly compared to the northern city in the north.

As the imperial capital, Tai'an City is naturally a city of thousands of households, and it is extremely prosperous in the world.

However, today's Tai'an City is unusually cold and slaughtering.

It was just dawn, and the nine doors were already closed.

Compared with normal days, there are many soldiers in full armor on the castle towers and in all streets and alleys.

The officials of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion ran around beating gongs, shouting: The city is closed today, and you can't go out if you have nothing to do.

Obviously, it was a day off, and all the ministries, divisions, and mansions in Tai'an City, all the officials and lords of all sizes were waiting outside the Daming Palace, and they were even more active than when they usually went to the morning court.

All of this was just because of an urgent report that came to Tai'an City last night.

"The black armor elite rider in the north entered the customs for no reason, and went down to the south of the Yangtze River on a snowy night."

In the Daming Palace, Li Jinzheng, the emperor of Daqian Gaozu who sits in the north and faces south and rules the world, is sitting on the big dragon chair made of pure gold.

He'd been sitting there for a long time, but he hadn't spoken.

He didn't speak, and Guo Wei, the palm print supervisor who was waiting on the side, didn't dare to let people open the palace door to let the big and small officials and lords waiting outside come in.

Of course, the fact that the big and small officials outside the palace gate can't come in doesn't mean that their voices can't come in.

The Qing Gossip Official Group headed by Cheng Qi Min in the Imperial History has repeatedly knocked to see the driver.

In the imperial history, Cheng Qi Min even tearfully accused the martial king Zhao De of the ten major crimes.

scolded Zhao De for this is a blatant rebellion, and asked the emperor to issue an order to summon Zhao De, the king of martial arts, to enter Tai'an City to confess his crimes.

Qi Min's move quickly won a warm response from a group of officials.

Only the first assistant lord Zhang Juyao, who was the head of the hundred officials, remained unmoved, sitting on the Taishi chair specially given by the emperor, closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Guo Wei, what do you think of what Qi Min said?" Emperor Li Jin rubbed his eyebrows and spoke for the first time.

The emperor asked, and Guo Wei, the palm seal supervisor, hurriedly bowed.

However, he did not answer rashly, but responded humbly: "Your Majesty has decreed that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, and Guo Wei does not dare to make a mistake." ”

"You are not guilty." Li Jin waved his hand.

Guo Wei pondered and said: "The minister once heard that in the past, when the martial king was still in Tai'an City, he once beat Lord Qi Min. "I have to say that as one of the two most powerful eunuchs in the palace, Guo Wei can stay in this position all the time, and he has won Li Jin's trust, and there is a reason.

His remarks seemed to be an answer to the question.

In essence, it not only reminded Li Jin that Qi Min spared no effort to attack the martial king Zhao De, which may be mixed with personal grudges, but also skillfully avoided the suspicion of interfering in politics.

After Guo Wei finished speaking, the hall became silent again, and he also lowered his head and retreated to the side.

Emperor Gaozu Li Jin stood up from the dragon chair that was ordered by the sky, took a step, and sat back down, he knocked on the arm of the chair, and suddenly laughed.

"Yes, Zhao De not only beat Qi Min back then, but also beat Qi Min so much that he couldn't get out of bed for three months."

After Li Jin finished laughing, the thick clouds on his brows obviously dispersed a lot.

Guo Wei waited quietly until Li Jin asked again: "Guo Wei, why did Zhao De send the black armor spirit to ride down to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and there is news from Skynet?" ”

Guo Wei replied respectfully: "Yes, there was news from Tianwang just now, saying that King Wu's move was to pick up people. "Oh? Pick up people? ”

Li Jin raised his eyebrows, and after a little thought, he already knew the meaning, and slowly said: "That's the dragon head for thousands of miles!" ”

"Who's picking it up?"

"His Royal Highness."

"Oh, it turned out to be that kid from Zhao De's family."

Li Jin was a little stunned, obviously he didn't expect that the thirteen cities in the north would make such a big move, and it would be a hairy boy.

"That kid I also hugged it, but ......"

"Later, I heard that the kid was a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it when he was young, so Zhao De sent him to Langya Pavilion to learn art for ten years."

"It is true."

"What, that kid is going down the mountain?"

"The prince has been in Langya Pavilion for ten years."

"Ten years?"

Emperor Li Jin suddenly felt a little in a trance, and after passing away in a flash, he couldn't help but scold.

"Why didn't Zhao De let that kid stay for a few more years, and when he got off the mountain, he made such a disturbance, so that I couldn't sleep peacefully."

The emperor cursed, and Guo Wei had to pretend not to hear it.

After Li Jin finished scolding, he continued to speak: "Skynet also sent back news that this time the prince went down the mountain, whether it was Tai'an City or Beibei City, there were many people who did not want him to return to the north. ”

Li Jin once again restored the solemnity and majesty of the emperor, and said lightly: "The prince of the northern realm, you should be like this. ”

"And what does Your Majesty mean? Do you want Guo Wei to go out of the palace? Guo Wei still bowed, but asked a rather rebellious sentence.

Li Jin didn't mean to blame, he pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "Forget it, sell Zhao De a face, it depends on whether that kid can return to the north alive." ”

"However, since this has happened, knock and knock still have to be done." Li Jin's gaze suddenly sharpened. "Summons Zhang Shoufu in."
