The majestic and chaotic thoughts exploded in Xia Jingyun's mind.

In the search and arrest of the team of the White Clothes Villa and the later reorganized New Black Ice Terrace, the first Xuan Fox sat in front of the Black Ice Terrace, which had been missing, and finally had a clue.

And he actually planned to break the jar and break it, take a risk, and assassinate Biao'er directly?

With his ability to run the Black Ice Platform for more than 20 years, as well as those arrangements in the shadows, how much chance of success is there in this matter?

Did he go to find the people of Beiliang because he wanted to improve his chances of winning after he had a chance, or did he want to increase his chances of winning because he didn't have enough chances?

The most important thing is, how are things going for him now?

Yelu Shi is far away in Liangdu, and the news is transmitted back to Liangdu and then to Yuyan City, in the meantime, has there been a follow-up?

Xia Jingyun stood stunned for a moment, came back to his senses in Chen Fugui's cough, looked at the messenger, and bowed solemnly, "Tell King Dingxi on my behalf that Benhou owes him a favor for this matter." ”

The messenger was also interested, and immediately stroked his chest and bowed, "The words have been brought, and the villain will not bother much." ”

Without waiting for the envoy to leave, Xia Jingyun hurriedly walked towards the study where Jiang Yuhu and Su Yuanshang were.

He must tell Jiang Yuhu and Su Yuanshang about this, but at the same time, he also wants to see the future again through the two.

Although, according to the rules of peeping, the bigger the matter involved, the greater the price he has to pay.

But he was willing to gamble, and he had to gamble.

If he loses this game, it is very likely that everything he has accumulated in the past year or so will be returned to nothingness, and the good situation that he has built up with great difficulty will also be ruined, and there will never be such a relationship in the future to build such a pattern of interests.

However, his ability cannot be said to any outsider, and he must think of a reasonable reason to do it in a reasonable and unobtrusive way.

With this heart, he came to the outside of the study, and before pushing the door in, he turned his head to look at Chen Fugui, and said seriously and seriously: "Brother Chen, if I am emotional and unwell later, you will tie me to the horse, and return to Beijing quickly, we can't afford to delay for a moment, okay?" ”

Chen Fugui listened to Fang Cai's news, of course he knew the severity, and immediately nodded solemnly, "Son, please rest assured!" ”

Xia Jingyun took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.

Jiang Yuhu and Su Yuanshang both looked up at him, Xia Jingyun looked solemn, and slowly retold the news to the two.

This time, even Jiang Yuhu, who could not move when the hundreds of thousands of troops of Northern Liang attacked, couldn't help but change his complexion.

Because, this is something that is not under his control.

At the same time, it can directly change the whole world.

And Su Yuanshang's expression directly carried a little deep worry and even panic.

In today's court, the queen mother is in charge of the country, appointing people on the basis of merit, making great efforts, and the atmosphere of the court is invigorated.

The new deal is imminent, the accumulation of disadvantages is clear, and the monarch and the minister are suitable, which is the time when it is thriving and a great time.

Although His Majesty is young, after all, it is the legal foundation that maintains everything, and the curtain of Concubine De listens to the government, the alliance of the Su family, the Qin family and the Marquis of Jianning, and the confidence between the government and the opposition are all linked together with His Majesty as the center.

Once something happens to His Majesty, all this will become a castle in the air, and it may collapse at any time.

And the reason why the two of them are so worried is that they all know how much energy the fox who has been in charge of the Black Ice Platform for more than 20 years has.

Xia Jingyun looked at the faces of the two of them, didn't say much, and looked at Su Yuanshang first, "Mr. Su, I will leave immediately and return to the capital, if I have time, I will stop them." I'm bothering you to do two things. ”

Su Yuanshang immediately said, "You say." ”

"First, immediately find a reliable channel, fly the pigeon to Beijing, and inform the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to take precautions."

"Second, run Swift Prefecture well, once the situation really changes, Surabaya Prefecture, Yunmeng Prefecture, Longshou Prefecture, Swift Prefecture, if these states and counties are still under control, everything will be much easier, and we will have to plan for the worst."

Su Yuanshang naturally understood the meaning of Xia Jingyun's words, as well as the deep meaning behind those who were not easy to say openly, and solemnly clenched his fists, "Don't worry, you will live up to your trust!" ”

Xia Jingyun stretched out his hand, and Su Yuanshang also reached out and shook it solemnly!

This is after the original handshake in Yunmengzhou, the two strong hands solemnly shook each other again.

This grip, as before, is about faith, about commitment, about like-mindedness.

This grip is different from the past, it is about heavy trust, and it is about a last resort.

After talking to Su Yuanshang, Xia Jingyun looked at Jiang Yuhu again, and his hand naturally stretched out, holding him tightly in Jiang Yuhu's hesitation.

His words became earnest, "General, the future is uncertain, the army has always been neutral, and I dare not ask for extravagance, I hope that the general will stabilize the border defense and not let the people of the Northern Liang have an opportunity to lose the current good situation between the north and the south." ”

Jiang Yuhu let him hold his hand, felt the temperature from his palm, and said calmly: "If you don't have an army, you can't be neutral." ”

Xia Jingyun was stunned.

Jiang Yuhu said lightly: "The neutrality of the Wudang army is just because he holds the military power and has to do it as a last resort to prevent suspicion, and at the same time, he is indeed unwilling to get involved in the political disputes of the court, but he is willing to purely protect the territory and the people, and transcend the outside world." ”

He looked at Xia Jingyun, his eyes pierced his heart like a cold gun, "But protecting the territory and the people, in the final analysis, isn't it just to make the world live a better life?" I have seen your words and deeds with my own eyes these days, and if you can make this wish come true, why not be able to help you without being a soldier? But if your ambition causes chaos in the world, and in the future, the sword and the army will face each other, and among the people who lead the army, there will be the figure of my son! ”

Xia Jingyun took a deep breath, couldn't help but be a little moved, his eyes were slightly red, "The general's style is worthy of the word "God of War" that people in the world respect." ”

Jiang Yuhu glanced at the hand that was held and did not let go, and did not pull it out, but just said: "Don't worry, I will return to Lieyang Pass tomorrow." As for Guanyin, I will take her to Northern Xinjiang first, and after a few days, when the situation is clear, if it is safe, your eldest brother will send her back, and if there is something, I will personally send her back! ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, and in front of him, the long-awaited golden light quietly flashed, and a picture appeared.

Jiang Yuhu, who was dressed in military uniform, sat in a room with Guanyin in his arms, and the door was suddenly slammed open by Jin Jiancheng, "General! The news has arrived! ”

Jiang Yuhu stood up suddenly, his eyes sharp and burning.

"Your Majesty died of poisoning. Concubine De Niangniang was also poisoned, one corpse and two lives, in the capital of Zhongjing"

Jin Jiancheng's voice hesitated for a moment, "It's a big mess!" ”

Unlike the previous ones, this time the footage was extremely short.

And after that almost fleeting image, a wave of weakness more violent than ever before came over it.

Xia Jingyun only felt that his feet were soft, as if all his essence and spirit had been drained all at once.

Half of it is the sequelae of peeping, and the other half is heart-wrenching sadness.

Although he knew that this was a future that could be changed, not necessarily a definite result, the pain came too quickly and intensely, and almost instantaneously, it completely engulfed him.

His eyes went black, and he fainted to the ground.

Jiang Yuhu hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch him and looked at Chen Fugui.

Chen Fugui said with a bit of emotion and heartache: "These days, Gongzi has been non-stop, it only took more than 20 days to travel all over the Swift Prefecture, and he has to keep spending his brainpower in the middle, flipping through the information, and resolving disputes, it is estimated that he has been overwhelmed, and his mood has suddenly been impacted at this moment, and he still can't bear it after all." ”

Su Yuanshang hesitated: "Then why don't you help go down and rest first?" ”

Chen Fugui shook his head, "Gongzi told me before he entered the house, if he is agitated and something really goes wrong, let me be sure to tie him up and tie him up. ”

Su Yuanshang knew that this was indeed the case, so he had to look at the pale and bloodless face of Xia Jingyun who had fainted, and let out a long sigh.

Jiang Yuhu didn't have so many children, and looked at Chen Fugui, "I'll leave it to you." Then 500 people were sent to accompany him, one person and two horses, and hurried to Zhongjing. ”

Chen Fugui nodded heavily, carefully took Xia Jingyun over, put it on his back, nodded at Su Yuanshang, and turned around and walked out of the door.

Jiang Yuhu looked at Su Yuanshang, "I'll leave later, do you need me to keep someone for you?" ”

Su Yuanshang shook his head and arched his hand: "It is enough to have the Swift Army, His Royal Highness King Jing does not need to worry, there will be no recurrence in Swift Prefecture." ”

"Good! Take care! Jiang Yuhu didn't bother too much, hugged his fist at him, turned around and strode out.

When he went out of the room, he did not go directly to the room to clean up, but came to the residence of Jeruzech.

Seeing Jiang Yuhu's arrival, several Yelu family guards immediately stood up, and then hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.

"Let Jerusech come out, and the king will have something to say to him."

Soon, Yelu Caiqi walked out and saw Jiang Yuhu, his expression couldn't help but be a little nervous, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Jing." ”

"Xia Jingyun wants to go back to Zhongjing, I'll go back to Lieyang Pass immediately, who are you going with?"

Yelutech was stunned, didn't he just come back? Why are you going to leave again?

But with her knowledge, of course, she knew that something terrible had happened, and the other party had already made a decision just to inform her, so she didn't dwell on it stupidly and asked more, but just said: "Follow you is to send me back to Shangjing after I get to Lieyang Pass?" ”

"Yes."

Yelu Ceqi hesitated for a moment, with a little shame and bravery, and said, "Then I'll go with Jianning Hou." ”

"He is going to set off immediately, hurry back to Beijing, there are many of you, follow behind and meet in Zhongjing."

After Jiang Yuhu finished speaking, he turned around, "It's best to write a letter to your grandfather first and send it back." ”

With that, he strode away, leaving a confused Jeruzeqi behind.

——

Just when the state pastor's mansion was empty in an instant and the clouds were thick, just when Xia Jingyun was tied to Chen Fugui's back and galloped on the road through the mountains and mountains, Zhongjing City was peaceful.

With the end of the war in northern Xinjiang, the pacification of the chaos in Yuyan Prefecture, the conclusion of the peace agreement between the north and the south, the gradual subsidence of rebellions in various places, and the implementation of the new policy without suspense, these general directions have gradually been decided.

On weekdays, as in the past many years, everyone manages their own forces like a slow simmer, and quietly moves under the water.

And under such circumstances, a group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, especially the central ministers, finally had the heart to see and focus on some small things that they had not had time to pay attention to before.

In the palace city, the pregnant image has been completely revealed, and the whole person looks loving and gentle Concubine De sat in the imperial study, sat on the soft floor with Dongfang Bai, and taught Dongfang Bai to read the folds in his hand.

"This is the excerpt of Wanxiang, look at it, tell the queen mother what she said?"

Dongfang Bai's legs were hanging in the air, swaying slightly, and Concubine De's eyes were fixed, and she immediately stopped, and honestly looked at the twists and turns.

After a while, he put down his fold, "Wan Xianggong means that he hopes that the imperial court can officially build Tushan Academy outside the city, as an official academy, and give the three teachers the honorific title of emperor teacher, and the students of the academy should be treated like Guozijian." ”

Concubine De snorted and said, "Why do you think he is on this fold?" ”

If it were the usual children who were less than ten years old, it was estimated that they would open a pair of clear and stupid eyes and look at it suspiciously, but Dongfang Bai, as an emperor, had a different education since he was a child, and there were Concubine De and Xia Jingyun who taught him by word and deed, and after a little consideration, he said: "Does he want to please me, and then make his position more stable?" ”

Concubine De smiled softly, noncommittal, "Is there anything else?" ”

Dongfang Bai wrinkled his little face, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Is he trying to compete for the heart of the world's scholars?" This matter was proposed by him, if it is done, the students who can enter Tushan Academy will inevitably admit his affection, and in the hearts of these students, Uncle will not be a monopoly. ”

Concubine De smiled with satisfaction and handed him another excerpt, "This one is from Yang Xiang, can you take a look?" ”

Dongfang Bai stretched out his hand to take it and read it silently, "Yang Xiang proposes to expand the enrollment scope of the Imperial Academy, admit the appropriate age of the imperial family to enroll, and use the heart of the clan to show my benevolence." ”

Concubine De said, "Then what do you think he meant?" ”

Dongfang Bai smiled, "Yang Xiang is worthy of being a good man, and this fold is not to offend people." ”

Concubine De shook her head slightly, "Don't believe that there are any good people in this court, even your uncle is usually gentle and elegant, but when it's time to kill, he won't hesitate at all." The so-called good old man may really exist, but it must not be in this court. This court is either a wise self-preservation that can't see the situation clearly, or a disguise used to confuse the enemy. ”

Dongfang Bai nodded as if he didn't understand, looked at this fold, and suddenly said: "Queen Mother, the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the seventh child, do you think I should go and see him?" ”

Concubine De thought for a while and said: "You have this heart, the queen mother is very happy, and the queen mother doesn't want you to be a ruthless lone husband in the future, but if you want to be a loving and righteous person in this position, you need extraordinary ability, a strong heart, and unparalleled control, can you?" ”

Dongfang Bai looked up at the queen mother, his immature little face showed a resolute look, and he nodded heavily, "I can learn!" ”

Concubine De smiled with satisfaction, stretched out her hand to rub his head, but was dodged by Dongfang Bai, so she had to nod and say, "Then you have to work hard!" ”

As she spoke, she picked up another fold and handed it over, Dongfang Bai knew that this test would not end so easily, so he silently took it and looked at it carefully.

However, in his mind, there is always a dream about science, about nature, about the true meaning of this world, which is taking root.

——

Outside Zhongjing City, in the deserted village hut that no one knows, two people are sitting opposite each other at a table.

The first Xuanhu in front of the Black Ice Platform in Daxia sat opposite to Wei Chihong, the three-star embroidery envoy of the Southern Dynasty Branch of the Daliang Embroidery Bureau.

Xuanhu's face was full of amazement, "I didn't expect that your country would have such a secret son, it's really unbelievable." ”

Wei Chihong drank a glass of wine reservedly and smiled silently.

Xuanhu continued: "If it weren't for a peerless killing god like Jiang Yuhu, your country would be in trouble at a critical moment, and I am afraid that my dynasty would really not be an opponent. ”

Wei Chihong glanced at Xuanhu deeply and smiled, "In that case, why did Lord Xuanhu do this again." If you do not make any extraneous branches, the situation between the north and the south will be reversed, and your country will override our dynasty, it is almost a foregone conclusion, and it is even very likely that the north and the south will be unified. ”

Xuanhu's face was calm, as if he couldn't understand the ridicule and mockery in Yu Chihong's words, and said slowly; "If there is no self in this prosperity, then this prosperity will be meaningless; If there is no self in this power, then this power is not worth mentioning. If it weren't for me, the world would be flooded and dire in dire straits. ”

Wei Chihong looked at Xuanhu, and seemed to be shocked by his selfishness and domineering, and only smiled after a while: "That being the case, then I can only wish Your Excellency all the best." ”

Xuanhu looked at him, "If I succeed, your country will naturally have a good situation, so don't you wish me all the best." ”

He paused, "Yes, I wish us all the best!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Wei Chihong laughed twice, "Well said, I wish us all the best!" ”

Xuanhu nodded and stood up, "Everything is going well." ”

After saying that, he strode out of the door, got on the canopy boat that had crossed the ferry countless times at this ferry, and went to the other side of his hope.

Yu Chihong slowly walked out of the door, stood in a shadow, looked at the awning boat in the distance, and smiled faintly.

Xuanhu's go, whether it is a success or a failure, is a complete victory for Daliang.

Such a good day has not passed for many years.

He smiled and stretched out his hand to beckon, looking at the subordinates who quietly flashed out on the side, "Clean up, abandon this place, and find another helm." ”

In the deep voice of his subordinates, he slowly walked to the side and slowly disappeared into the surrounding trees and flowers.

Like a poisonous snake quietly swimming into the grass, like a beast slowly walking into the mountains and forests, quietly and quietly.

In Zhongjing City, which is across the river, a huge thunder is about to detonate.

——

In Baiyang Prefecture, a cavalry team of hundreds of people, one man and two horses, rushed through the forest like a whirlwind.

On the back of the horse, Xia Jingyun, who had regained his senses, had a pale face, clutching the reins, looking ahead with blazing eyes, and constantly urging the horse under his crotch.

In front of him, the front that crosses the mountains and mountains, and is blocked by thousands of mountains and rivers, is Zhongjing!

It is Zhongjing who embodies his countless expectations!

It's Zhongjing, who is eagerly waiting for him to change his life against the sky!

"Drive!"

The sound of the eager horses echoed in this empty forest for a long time. (End of chapter)
