Zhuang Xun proudly showed off his wife, touching the brocade clothes on his body to show a look of nostalgia.

Xu Houde was speechless, his face turned red, and he was speechless by Zhuang Xun.

Everyone knows the truth of marrying a good wife, and Zhuang Xun undoubtedly puts himself on the moral high ground.

"Throw this shameful thing out of here." The emperor was upset to see it.

The two guards stepped forward and grabbed Xu Houde's arm and dragged him away from the longevity banquet.

He glanced at Yang Zuoxiang, as well as Qian Quanan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, their faces were expressionless, he was unwilling, but looking at their red official uniforms, he cowered and couldn't speak.

"Zhuang Qing, Mrs. Jiang, sit down and enjoy this birthday banquet." The emperor glanced at Lu Buming, his eyes showed disdain, probably because he was emotionally moved by the tiger father and the dog.

The farce is over, everyone is very satisfied, Qingliu keeps the money bag, Zhuang Xun has harvested the official title, and the right minister eats melons and eats them to his own home, but it doesn't matter, he knows very well that everything he comes from the emperor, isn't it just a right envoy of the festival, he is not distressed, and he is another virtuous person to the emperor, although he does not dare to send him to find out the streams.

There is only one clown, that is, Xu Houde, who was pushed out of the palace gate and temporarily detained, he was already pale, and he could only hope that Qian Xinzhao could save him.

Zhuang Xun returned to his seat again, and the eyes of the officials around him became respectful.

Because of the jump in status, they suddenly ran to a height that was difficult for them to reach.

The official system of the Yu Dynasty was divided into one to nine grades, and the first, second, and third grades were considered to be the noble roles of the entire imperial court, and many people could not struggle for a position from the third rank in their lifetimes, even if he was a jinshi from the imperial examination.

And the emperor's preference has also been seen, Zhuang Xun can now be regarded as a good fortune, and most of the officials around him are five or six grades, so they naturally unconsciously show a flattering look.

"How is the article of Your Highness Sergeant?" The emperor looked at the churning air dragon in the air, and the churning dragon had a golden light on its back, which was also the imperial vein he carried.

Now the monarchs of all countries have the imperial lineage, which is clearly known to have the imperial line.

"The secretaries circulated and selected who was second and third." The emperor predetermined the first, and now only the second and third can be produced.

After Lu Buming's trouble, he became uninterested, and he wanted to complete the dragon slaying ceremony quickly.

Zhuang Xun is not illiterate, but many manuscripts contain a large number of rare words that he cannot understand, and it is very difficult to read.

So he gave the manuscript to the others and took his own time.

noticed a few eyes looking at him, the two prime ministers, Mrs. Jiang, and Chengguo's father and daughter, Li Ruxi, he lowered his head and ate pears and ignored them.

When he was idle, he felt cold sweat covering his spine, don't look at his sarcastic words, as if he was at ease, just remembered Si Qinmi's warning, it was not easy to stabilize, if there was no Jiang Xianwen's rescue, he didn't know how to answer just now, he cast a grateful look, in exchange for Jiang Xianqian smiled, Zhuang Xun was already planning to come to the door to thank him when he was free.

As for the left and right phases, the eyes are very kind and friendly, I don't know if I think I am their junior, just a smiling tiger.

Jiang Xian Qian was surprised by this ritual, she had already seen that it was a ritual to slay the dragon, and she believed that her senior brother Ge Tan had also seen it, and if she didn't stop it, she must have her own considerations.

From time to time, the air dragon flew over Zhuang Xun's head, expressing the emperor's importance to him.

Seeing Zhuang Xun's grateful look to her, she felt a sense of joy in counting merits.

Self-stigma to help him, first, find a reason and excuse, in the future to continue to support him, plug other people's mouths, she is not the kind of horticulturist who let the seedlings grow casually, since she invested in Zhuang Xun, she definitely wants Zhuang Xun to make a career.

Second, the more grateful the other party, the greater the feedback, of course, the greater the credit, the greater the feedback.

Third, the true appearance is the true appearance, but the identity is the vest, what does Mrs. Jiang, who likes Zhuang Xun, have to do with her Jiang Xianqi, the Empress Dowager of Zhao Kingdom, as long as she completes the mission of containing Youguo, this identity can be abandoned, and it will not affect her.

Moreover, although she is the Empress Dowager of Zhao Guo, she is not the kind of person who takes empty shelves, if she is the kind of person who takes empty shelves, is it not good for her to be the queen mother in Zhao Guoan.

Back to the banquet, the left phase chose one person, the right phase chose one person, the balance is like this, the only place to spell the text was given by the emperor to Zhuang Xun, everyone was a little resentful, and the hovering gold was also contaminated with a little black gas.

"Please Master Zhou do it." The master of ceremonies continued.

Brought the altar, curious, it doesn't matter, Jiang Xianqi wants to see what is being done inside, dragon slaying is not common, Li Ruxi may be disgusted with those empty talkers in Chengguo, and has no interest.

Zhuang Xun is because he knows that there are gods and ghosts in the world, and he has a trace of awe.

Master Zhou pinched the rune paper, guided the copper coin, and stepped on the seven-star steps, the movements were like dancing and praying.

Jiaolong seems to be bound by something, staying in the sea of chrysanthemums.

"Hurry!" With a swing of his sword, the golden dragon's head was cut off.

The Emperor felt a sharp pain in his neck, and he gritted his teeth to keep himself from making a sound.

The dragon head and the dragon body both fell into the sea of chrysanthemums, and they were about to disappear.

Biting his fingertips, the blood outlined a piece of rune paper, which actually flew in the air, floated to the dragon's head, and stuck to the dragon's head.

Everyone can't see the dragon's head, and they feel that the rune paper is very powerful in the air, Jiang Xianqi can see some doorways, but on this occasion, her character can only show a surprised expression together.

Dealing with the dragon head, he took out a jade gourd, people felt a gust of wind blowing, the golden light of the dragon corpse in the eyes of the cultivator was no longer there, the golden dragon scales became blood red, and changed into a stream of red qi that was accepted by the gourd.

Jiang Xianqi glanced at Li Pingyuan, played by Ge Tan, and saw that he didn't make any moves, so she could only act as if she didn't see anything.

The rune paper was triggered, and the hideous and terrifying dragon head came to the offering platform, on which a brilliant chrysanthemum had already been placed.

Uncover the rune paper on the dragon's head, and the dragon's head will turn into a breath of fresh air and burrow into the stamen.

At this time, Master Zhou was already sweating profusely, Zhuang Xun thought that he had danced the great god, but Jiang Xianqian knew that it was caused by overdrawing a large amount of immortal merits at one time.

Yue Li's work on behalf of the people's underworld, it seems that Master Zhou is also deeply blessed, otherwise the dragon slayer just now would be gone.

It was consumed twice, once to kill the dragon, and once to bypass the underworld and be reincarnated, and it was a great fortune to not be drained of the immortal fate.

The emperor's eyes were blank, and it was not until Master Zhou offered the potted chrysanthemums that his expression relaxed, as if he had returned to his senses.

"Your Majesty, I am glad that I have not been dishonored."

"Thank you Zhou Qing for blessings." Reaching out and touching the splendid chrysanthemum, the emperor saw the other party's de-strength and said gratefully.

Although it is to each according to his needs.

The feeling of blood connection, he is the fruit of the chrysanthemum, waiting for the chrysanthemum to sprout, which also represents the beginning of his new life.

It's not been a few months.

"The longevity banquet is over, and the hundred officials and scholars are leaving." The scholars retreated first, and then the officials retreated.

Such an orderly exit caused a riot.

"The King of Xihe has an order, and everyone can't leave Chunhua Palace." There was a bang at the door.

Everyone was stunned and didn't quite understand what was happening, but soon realized that there was a coup d'état.

"King Xihe, where did he get his soldiers and horses." The emperor didn't seem to be very flustered, and in his imagination, there was always some stubble in the longevity banquet, but he didn't understand where his rebel son had the courage to dare to coup d'état.

"It seems that the clothes of the person are the city army of Yin Du, and they belong to the jurisdiction of Yin Du's garrison." Shen Lianzhen reminded on the side that he felt that he was in danger, and the prince didn't know about the rebellion.

He knew that the King of Xihe and Yin Du were in contact, and the two sides were uncles and nephews, but he never expected that they could collude together to rebel.

What do you think, do you think that a coup d'état can become an emperor? Where did you put your brothers.

"The hundred officials first took refuge in the inner city and borrowed the palace wall to resist." In fact, the emperor no longer has the ability to stand up, but fortunately, Master Zhou is supporting.

The inner city, also known as the inner court, is where the emperor's concubines are, and he really has a big heart.

Maybe it doesn't matter about the country anymore.

Zhuang Xun was coerced in the direction of the inner city.

Isn't it too exciting to encounter an attack, a frame-up, and a coup d'état in one day.

The heartstrings that had just been relaxed suddenly tightened, and he unconsciously leaned in the direction of Li Pingyuan and Li Ruxi, feeling more secure.

……

"The thief army has surrounded the entire inner and outer courts, and is now attacking the outer city." Shen Lianzhen wiped his sweat and said, following behind the emperor.

Looking at the emperor who was holding a pot of chrysanthemums and was not uncertain, this time he was seriously derelict in his duties, and he really couldn't find a place to make up for it.

"Waste." The emperor cursed.

"The minions are terrified." Shen Lianzhen hurriedly knelt down.

"It's not that you, it's that the rebel is going to rebel and the efficiency is so low, you send people to the forbidden military camp, and I ordered to enter the city to quell the rebellion and end this farce." There are still 50,000 people in the forbidden army, and there are only 10,000 under the Yin Du garrison.

On the other side, opposite the King of the West River was a wealthy middle-aged merchant, the face of the King of the West River was somewhat similar to that of the emperor, and he was equally chubby.

"Shouldn't we go, we can't attack the city, the forbidden army is coming, and so is my father, why don't we put all the forbidden army on the front line." King Xihe complained.

"At least capture the outer city, and give an explanation to the country, otherwise it is difficult to say that the feudal marquis has not even broken through the other party's palace, and it is difficult to explain to the country." Skillfully drawing flatbread.

"At first, I only promised to let the city army come a little later when there was an accident on Suzaku Street, so that you could assassinate Li Pingyuan, but now the rebellion has exceeded the price of the interview." King Xihe complained.

"The rewards are also increasing, at the beginning you could only be allowed the title of rich man, but now that you are a marquis, the more you gain, the more dangerous it is." The smiling fat merchant tempted.

"My brother-in-law is also going to be a marquis, after all, this time he borrowed his soldiers." The King of Xihe made his own request and said.

"As long as you take the outer city, you can do it." Wishing carelessly, the fat businessman only wants to complete this task assigned by his superiors, and the bigger the scene, the better.

And entering the inner city, the inner city was also in chaos, Zhuang Xun and Li Ruxi teamed up to find Li Pingyuan and Jiang Xianqi, who disappeared into the crowd at some point.

"The outer city is broken." With this heart-rending shout, the expressions of everyone in the inner city were mixed.

Worried and frightened, Zhuang Xun hardly saw anyone along the way, and seemed to hide in the room in fear.

It feels like looking for a needle in a haystack, like disappearing out of thin air, like a headless fly, bumping around.

Li Ruxi looked at the structure of the palace and walked leisurely, she knew where Ge Tan had gone, and she should have returned to the emperor, but she was not good at asking Zhuang to say, he proposed to find Jiang Xianqi and Li Pingyuan, and Li Ruxi also agreed.

Follow the road you just walked, and extend to the palace rooms on both sides.

"May I ask you if you see an old man in his fifties and a man in his thirties or so who is dressed in gorgeous clothes." I finally saw two people dressed as eunuchs, who were using kitchen knives to warp the jewels on the roof

"Who are you? Wait until you see it. The tall eunuch had a bad expression.

"See what?" Zhuang Xun has not yet reacted.

"They're stealing gems from the beams of the house." Li Ruxi saw at a glance what the two were doing.

"I get it......"

grabbed Li Ruxi's hand and said, "Run." ”

"Look for death." The two eunuchs were enraged when they saw that the scandal was discovered, and chased Zhuang Xun with knives.

"Escape ......" grabbed Li Ruxi's wrist, and there was a knife in his hand on the other side, so the fool had a hard time with them.

Li Ruxi's eyes flashed with disdain, and the two eunuchs could make Zhuang Xun nervous, but it was also a small advantage that he did not leave his female companion.

"You go, my highness." Ran around, ran several corridors and didn't find anything to take advantage of, until he found a long stick on the stone table, Zhuang Xun let go of Li Ruxi, picked up the long stick and said.

"......" Li Ruxi was silent.

"Hurry up, don't you see that the wicked have already chased after you?" Zhuang Xun pushed Li Ruxi, held the long stick himself, and took a deep breath.

He was out of breath when he just ran, how could these eunuchs in the palace have such good physical strength.

He took two steps forward, blocking Li Ruxi and letting her escape first.

Li Ruxi did not escape, on the contrary, she went up with an arrow, and the two eunuchs who swung the knife down were grabbed by the wrists, twisted, and cut their necks instead, and the blood gushed out, Li Ruxi had already retreated all over, clean and neat, and the slightest trace of blood did not stain the Luo skirt.

"This ......" Zhuang Xun looked at the two corpses on the ground, and choked on a lot of words, shocked and unbelievable, unbelievable.

"Miss Li is so powerful, it's an offense." He could only compliment awkwardly and say that he was pulling people to run away just now, isn't this a joke.

It's not a loss to be the daughter of the gate, she is smooth, there are no superfluous movements, and she kills people so elegantly.

"Aren't you afraid of death? Why don't you leave me alone and run away? I shouldn't be able to outrun you in your eyes. Li Ruxi said suspiciously.

Critical moments can best reflect human nature and express people's hearts.

"Well, there is no conflict between being afraid of death and letting you go first, a gentleman does not stand under the wall, showing off his courage in a dangerous place will sooner or later be counterattacked, I am afraid of death, but the fear of death is meaningless, like a mustard.

I think that no matter how weak he is on weekdays, as long as he can show his responsibility at critical moments, he is a real man, and he usually trains his body to be extremely strong, and when it comes to sacrificing his life, he is not a man. Zhuang Xun expounded his point of view and said.

"Of course, it is best to be healthy and be able to sacrifice my life and take responsibility, but I am lazy, but fortunately, I have my wife, who urges me to do some exercise every day." Zhuang Xun wiped the sweat from his forehead and was a little embarrassed.

"Your husband and wife have such a good relationship." After listening to Zhuang Xun's words, Li Ruxi looked at him and said.
