Capital

Palace

It was another day of heavy snowfall, and the snow was scattered all over the roof, spreading a thick layer.

In the courtyard, the heavy snow pressed the branches, and the plum blossoms quietly bloomed, blooming in this silent court, which made it a little more bleak.

The prince Xia Jingyi, dressed in a black robe, sat on a chair and held a hand stove in his hand.

Behind him, a little eunuch stood respectfully with an umbrella.

In front of him, there were a few side dishes and a few glasses of wine.

On the opposite side, it was Xia Xinglong, the sixth prince who had lived in the palace for a long time.

He was wearing a white dress with ink, and his hair was a little long, looking at the whole person not looking very decadent, but his body was faintly blessed.

Obviously, his life in this palace is not bad.

Xia Xinglong raised the wine glass on the table, drank it all, and said with a light smile: "Big brother, in fact, you don't have to come to see me. ”

People always grow.

He is no exception, but the price of this growth is too great.

His failure paid the price of the entire maternal clan behind him, and I don't know how many people were implicated.

And the initiator of all this is the man sitting in front of him.

He had many chances, and he pounced directly, and whether he succeeded or not, he could always give him a punch.

But he turned around and gave up again, which was boring.

Even if they punch each other, those people won't survive, anyway, they have enjoyed most of their lives, and if they die, they will die.

If you die now, you can still leave some blood, but if you arrive later, I am afraid that you will not be able to leave even a little blood.

In the days when he entered the palace, he thought about many things clearly.

In the past, he had never thought about that position at all, and I don't know when he started to have such ambitions.

In fact, it is not a good thing to fail, at least I can still live and recognize myself more clearly.

It's good to be an idle prince in the future.

Xia Jingyi held the stove, looked at Xia Xinglong calmly, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "While you can still move, let's take a look." ”

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future."

Xia Xinglong fell silent.

This was the second time he had seen his big brother.

Even people like him, who don't know how to do medicine, can see that the crown prince, who has been in charge of the empire for more than 20 years, has come to a late twilight.

This is one of the reasons why he was determined to give up.

That seat seems inviting, but it's not so easy to sit in.

Xia Xinglong sighed: "Now that I am out of the matter, I can see the situation clearly. ”

"We brothers are just pawns in your hands."

Everything they did, the prince actually knew.

If it weren't for the prince's poor health, there would be no chance for them.

This may be the so-called bystander clear bar.

That seat, I really don't know that brother can sit on it.

Xia Jingyi smiled indifferently, but his gaze was gently flickered to one place.

It was in the direction of the Temple of Heaven.

At that moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the snow behind him.

Lu Chengen stepped on the snow and came slowly, and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness." ”

"Lord Shen's secret letter."

As he spoke, he handed a sealed secret letter to Xia Jingyi.

He didn't dare to look at such sealed secret letters.

Xia Jingyi stretched out his hand to take it, and did not shy away from it, and opened the secret letter in front of Xia Xinglong.

It's just that Xia Xinglong didn't look at it, but looked down at the wine on the table.

Hearing what Lu Chengen said about "Lord Shen", Xia Xinglong knew in his heart who it was, but his expression did not change.

If you say that you don't hate, it must be false, so what can you hate?

He is now just a pawn confined in the palace, how much power can he have.

The throne or something, fuck it!

Whoever loves to fight fights!

Xia Jingyi didn't pay attention to the change in Xia Xinglong's expression, but read the secret letter carefully.

After reading it, Xia Jingyi didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes as deep as a lake looked in the direction of Chaotian Palace.

Lingzhou Rebellion......

Unexpected, it seems to be reasonable.

He didn't know how to describe his feelings, everything seemed to be moving in the direction he expected, but his heart was uncomfortable after all.

"Why bother......"

Xia Jingyi sighed faintly, got up and said, "Sixth brother, I'll come to see you another day." ”

The eunuch holding the umbrella behind him hurriedly raised the umbrella a few points higher.

Lu Chengen released a wisp of true qi, shielding the surrounding wind and snow.

Xia Xinglong got up and bowed, then got up and quietly looked at the distant back.

The wind and snow seemed to swallow it up.

Xia Jingyi turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace, his pace was very slow, leaving footprints of different shades in the snow.

The snow whistled and swept away.

In the silent palace wall, three figures slowly walked forward, against the wind and snow.

"Lu Banban, I'm afraid Shen Du won't be able to come back."

Xia Jingyi's thick voice sounded slowly.

From the moment he saw the secret letter, he knew that it would be difficult for Shen Du to return to Beijing.

Lu Chengen's face changed slightly.

What does Your Highness mean by this?

He didn't read the secret letter, and he didn't dare to read it, but now that he thinks about it, it can only be from that secret letter.

He could only be silent.

In his heart, the only thing he cares about is the prince, and the master is their root.

As for the others, he didn't really care much.

"Lu Banban......"

Xia Jingyi paused and looked up at the sky.

"The old minister is here."

Lu Chengen said respectfully.

Xia Jingyi muttered, "You leave Beijing to pick him up." ”

"What?" Lu Chengen's face trembled slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Your Highness!"

Lu Chengen knelt on the ground, slammed his head on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your safety ......"

"Don't worry."

Xia Jingyi waved his hand and said, "They won't do it for the time being." ”

"What's more, this is in Beijing, they are not so bold, they always have some scruples."

"But if something happens......"

Xia Jingyi laughed at herself, continued to walk forward, and said calmly: "That's Lone's life!" ”

Xia Jingyi raised his hand slightly, stared ahead, and said calmly: "You don't have to hold an umbrella." ”

"The next road, let Lone go by himself."

The voice sounded slowly, and soon disappeared in the howling wind and snow, and was gradually submerged.

Lu Chengen slowly got up, bowed down and said, "Obey!" ”

glanced at the eunuch holding the umbrella, and said calmly: "Your hometown family will have the East Palace to take care of it." ”

The little eunuch bowed down and said, "Father Xie." ”

As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand and slapped his palm on his chest, shattering his heart.

……

In recent days, Kyochung has become more and more weird.

Everything seems to be calm, but under this calm, there seems to be a hint of murder.

Everyone felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere, like a prelude to a rainstorm.

There are a lot fewer people in Beijing.

The major factions are still supporting the princes and secretly vying for power.

From time to time, several officials were impeached by the imperial history, and then imprisoned, and their family property was confiscated.

The people in the court who have a keen sense of smell have already smelled an extraordinary smell from it.

……

Wind Trace,

After resting here for a day, Xichu quickly sent people over.

Under the wind pass, thousands of iron riders stood quietly, and a noble Luan driver was placed in front of him, showing his dignity.

The iron cavalry of Western Chu is not outstanding, they are even more outstanding than the infantry.

These thousands of iron horsemen are not the guards of the Western Chu border pass, but the forbidden army from the capital of Western Chu.

At the moment when Xiong Jingqing left Beijing, he had already sent a letter to Xichu.

When Princess Xichu returned to China, Xichu naturally had to send someone to greet her, otherwise it would be a loss of face for Xichu.

It's just that the people who greeted Xichu have been stationed at the border pass, and after receiving the letter, they came to greet them.

In front of everyone, he was a gray-haired veteran, although he had reached the age of sixties, his body was still strong and powerful, and his demeanor had not diminished in the slightest.

This person is the famous general of Western Chu, Jing Zongyuan, and he is also a strong man.

The surname Jing is in Xichu, which is second only to the surname of the royal bear, and can be described as a real nobleman.

Jing Zongyuan was a famous general of Western Chu and served the monarchs of the Three Dynasties.

It looks old, but between the eyes and eyes, it seems that lightning is rolling, and the whole body seems to exude the power of a dragon.

"Boom!"

With a dull loud bang, the gate of the Wind Pass slowly opened.

A carriage slowly drove out of Guanzhong, and behind it was a column of elite cavalry, all in pitch-black armor, and the face was also covered in armor.

Shen Du rode a horse and escorted the carriage out of the pass slowly.

Shen Dingzhi's pupils shrank, looked at the figure standing on a horse in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that even this person would come this time." ”

"That is Jing Zongyuan, a famous general of Western Chu, a strong law elephant."

Shen Du glanced up, and in an instant, he felt the surging qi and blood.

The carriage went all the way and soon came to the front of the Xichu formation.

Jing Zongyuan saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The voice was as muffled as thunder.

A group of soldiers saluted.

Xiong Jingqing's calm voice came from the carriage: "No courtesy." ”

Jing Zongyuan glanced at Shen Du, gave a military salute, and said in a deep voice: "There is a labor escort on the way." ”

Shen Du also returned the salute and said lightly: "It's a matter of duty." ”

Jing Zongyuan withdrew his gaze.

Regarding Shen Du's identity, he could also guess a few points.

But in his eyes, if it weren't for the Fa Elephant, no matter how talented and intelligent he was now, it would be useless.

Xiong Jingqing lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at Shen Du with a complicated expression, and said softly: "Alive!" ”

This seems to be said to Shen Du, but it also seems to be said to herself.

Shen Du nodded and led the crowd away.

Jing Zongyuan glanced at Shen Du more, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Xiong Jingqing's voice suddenly came from the carriage: "General Jing, Zhou Guangsheng, the deputy general of the Iron Armor Army, came with you?" ”

"Huh?" Jing Zongyuan frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Oh!"

"Bengong met him in Yan Kingdom."

"Came to kill Hongu."

An understated voice came from inside the carriage, as if to say something insignificant.

The sound was not too loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the field.

Xiong Jingqing is not a powerless woman, she is a martial artist in the innate realm.

Jing Zongyuan's face changed suddenly!

"Let's go!"

Xiong Jingqing spoke calmly and ordered the coachman to drive away.

……

In the wind tracing pass,

Shen Du bid farewell to Shen Dingzhi.

Shen Dingzhi sighed and said, "Have you really thought it through?" ”

Shen Du stood at the juncture of tracing the wind, looked into the distance, and laughed loudly: "I have thought about it a long time ago." ”

"Thank you General Shen for your kindness."

Seeing this, Shen Dingzhi didn't persuade him anymore, and he could also see that Shen Du was not the kind of person who was willing to give in.

"It's good!"

Shen Dingzhi nodded and laughed: "Since you plan to leave, then I will give you another gift!" ”

Shen Dingzhi clapped his hands, and the city pass below was wide open.

Trample! Trample! Trample!

One after another, the armored black horses galloped out, kicking up billowing smoke and dust.

There were fifty cavalrymen, all of whom had a long breath.

As soon as the fifty men left the city, they quickly scattered in all directions.

Shen Dingzhi said in a deep voice, "There must have been many eyes on me for a long time, and now that they are leaving the city, they can also distract some attention." ”

"Every once in a while, I would leave the city with fifty men and scatter them everywhere."

"You can leave after nightfall."

"In this Suzhou, I will keep you safe!"

That's his promise!

It's just in other places, but in Suzhou, no one can do it.

Shen Du knew that this was Shen Dingzhi's kindness, and he would not refuse uninterestingly.

"Thank you!"

Shen Dingzhi waved his hand and said calmly: "There is only so much I can do." ”

……

Qianguo,

Shaolin.

In the meditation room, an old monk sat cross-legged, and the incense burner on the side exuded a faint rosin.

In the silent meditation room, the sound of chanting continues.

The old monk slowly turned the Buddha beads in his hand.

"Abbot!"

Outside the meditation room, two figures walked slowly, clasped their hands together, and saluted slightly.

"Hmm."

The abbot bowed slightly, opened his eyes to look at the two, and said calmly: "Dayan has sent a letter." ”

"The time has come!"

"I Shaolin traveled far to the Qianguo, and now Dayan Buddhism is not prosperous, the world suffers, and the people are hard."

"From today on, the two of you will lead the monks in our temple to Yandi to promote my Buddhism."

The two looked at each other and saluted, "Yes!" ”

The abbot stretched out his hand, and a letter flew up on the table, fell into the hands of a monk, and said slowly: "Jing Xuan has passed away." ”

The Jingxuan in the abbot's mouth, his common name, is Li Hanyun.

Jing Xuan is his Buddha name in Shaolin.

In fact, Shaolin has never given up on Yandi.

When Li Hanyun left Shaolin, he didn't really leave Shaolin, but just an eyeliner scattered around Shaolin, and his connection with Shaolin has never been broken.

Li Hanyun is also a disciple of this person.

Even in Shaolin, the status of the disciple of the Yuan Shen Realm is extremely high, and he is not an ordinary disciple.

If it weren't for Shaolin's plan, how could he have sent such disciples away from the mountains to Yan Kingdom.

The abbot said quietly: "Today's world has shown chaos, the devil wants to recover, and I Shaolin should have the responsibility of eliminating the devil and defending the road." ”

"Yan Ting is not benevolent, recruiting people from the Demon Dao, for the sake of the world, it is really a disaster for the world's martial arts."

"Kongwen, this trip to Yandi, someone will contact you."

"Six Doors Shen Du slaughtered fellow martial artists in the rivers and lakes, killed the nature, slaughtered the rivers and lakes with my Buddhist martial arts, and you brought him back to Shaolin, washed away the sins on his body, and detached himself as soon as possible."

"If he insists on not wanting to, then bring martial arts back."

After the words fell, he waved his hand slightly, closed his eyes again, and said calmly: "Go ahead." ”

The two bowed and saluted, then turned to leave.
