"The matter has been done, and the emperor has decided to summon Zhang Shuwei and Su Hanshan seven days later."

Shi Miyuan's manor, covering an area of 1,000 acres, has a golden and brilliant place, enjoy inexhaustible, there are extravagant singing and dancing places, pavilions and pavilions, there are also solemn Buddha halls, used to worship the spiritual seat, there is a high platform in the pool, used for martial arts.

But every time he talks with people close to him, he always likes to choose to be in the "Yellow House".

Chenghuang is a symbol of longevity, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Overseas Western Classics" records: "The country of the white people is in the north of the Arowana, and the white body is covered with hair." There is a yellow, its shape is like a fox, there are horns on its back, and the life span of the multiplication is 2,000 years old. ”

In this hall, there are paintings hanging on three sides, all of them are Shouxian giving peaches, the queen mother giving a banquet, Maitreya giving Dan, and on the wooden shelves in the corner of the wall, there are also all kinds of statues that imply longevity.

An incense burner was placed in the middle of the ground, and the green smoke curled up, exuding a strong but not choking sandalwood fragrance.

Shi Miyuan sat on the main seat, accompanied by two maids.

The people brought by Zhao Lizong and Ding Daquan were on the left and right sides, sitting separately.

The person who just spoke was Ding Daquan.

This person is indeed as rumored to be, his face is blue, and it is like the Vajra Heavenly King Protector in the temple, showing a very deep indigo color.

But his appearance was not like that of the people who feared him, with his fangs turned out, ugly as a ghost.

On the contrary, he has good facial features, slender eyebrows, piercing eyes, two whiskers on the upper lip that are left and right, and a supple beard on the chin.

This kind of appearance makes his complexion not so scary, but produces a unique majesty, just like those Buddhist scriptures and strange stories, the heavenly officials and gods who specialize in hunting down evil ghosts and punishing demons.

The reason why the emperor is so close to him has a lot to do with his appearance and temperament.

Perhaps in the emperor's heart, being accompanied by such a majestic and innate priest to visit the temple and deal with the government is the proof of his status as a Ming monarch.

Isn't there a folk legend that Yin Baozheng, a scholar of Longtuge University and Kaifeng Mansion, was also born with a vision, his face was as black as charcoal, and there was a crescent moon on his forehead?

It's a pity that Bao Zheng and Ding Daquan are vastly different and diametrically opposed characters in terms of their true character.

"Seven days."

Shi Miyuan's voice was a little hoarse, and he said slowly, "Lizong, in the past seven days, is it enough for you to prepare a foolproof ambush?" ”

Zhao Lizong said tepidly: "Seven days is still too tight, if there is two or three months, I can let the masters of Kuanggutang in various places complete the handover of the things in hand, and then gather in Lin'an City to complete the battle." ”

"This ......"

Ding Daquan smiled slightly, and then said, "Master Zhao, if it is delayed for so long, not only will Meng Zhaoxuan come back, but I don't know how many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will pour into Lin'an, I'm afraid that the situation will be even more chaotic at that time, and it will be even more difficult to be foolproof." ”

If Meng Zhaoxuan wanted to return to Lin'an, he must first get the emperor's permission, but even if the emperor's secret decree had been sent to the border, he would not be able to leave immediately.

Since more than ten years ago, when the Mongol Khanate launched a large-scale attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Zhaoxuan successively repelled the invading Mongol army in Qizhou, Jiangling, Huangzhou and other places, and then sat in Jiangling and presided over the military affairs of Jingxi, Lianghu and other places.

Internally, it recruited strong men of all ethnic groups in the north, organized a new army, greatly revitalized tuntian, built water conservancy, and deployed in-depth defense.

Externally, it adopted the tactics of attacking and defending, often sending out elite troops to attack the fence in the Mongol occupied area, successfully stabilizing the situation in Xiangyang, Fancheng, Xinyang and other places, and then dividing troops to reinforce Huainan and Sichuanshu.

In the following years, it was he who personally led the troops to comprehensively repel the enemy forces in Sichuan and Shu, so that the Yangtze River passage between Jinghu and Sichuan and Shu could be preserved.

With so many years of prestige accumulation and actual merits, Meng Zhaoxuan is already a well-deserved generalissimo, not just the chief general of a place.

He also has the right to manage and manage the defense of all the localities near the north, and he has the right to manage and manage many things to take care of the people.

Therefore, after receiving the will, it still needs a long time for him to explain the matter at hand, and to make careful arrangements before he can set off.

It is estimated that it will take at least nearly a month for Meng Zhaoxuan to arrive in Lin'an.

But in any case, it is impossible to drag it out until two or three months later.

Zhao Lizong's words just now actually mean that the matter of seven days later cannot be handled by his Kuanggu Hall alone.

And Ding Daquan's words seemed to be squeezing Zhao Lizong, but he was also quietly reminding Shi Miyuan that there would be a big event in the near future, and it couldn't be delayed for too long.

"Huh!"

Shi Miyuan chuckled twice, "I know your difficulties, the Kuanggu Tang family has a big business, and it is not easy to mobilize manpower, there is really so long for you to prepare, and Fuyao Mountain can also gather more helpers." ”

"Daquan, I don't want to be entangled in this kind of thing, I want to concentrate, preside over the overall situation, and deal with the turmoil in the near future."

Ding Daquan hurriedly said: "Xiangye, what are you talking about?" Xiangye's great kindness and virtue, the three lives of the lower officials are unforgettable, no matter what the changes are, it is the Xiangye who presides over the overall situation, as long as the lower officials obey the order, why do they need to do this more than they do, and show some tricks that are not as good as the Xiangye? ”

"Don't be in a hurry."

Shi Miyuan's goosebumpy palm waved lightly, "You can preside over the overall situation, the old man can rest assured, don't worry about the old man's suspicions about you, our grandfather has long been like a family, sharing weal and woe, why bother to do these superficial efforts?" ”

Ding Daquan even claimed to be.

Zhao Lizong said at this time: "If it is just an ambush, we will fight bloodily, and we are still fifty or sixty percent sure." ”

"But the usefulness of Zhang Shuwei and Su Hanshan does not lie in their corpses, if they can be captured alive, it is best to capture them alive to be useful to Xiangye, but this is where we have more than enough strength to do so."

Zheng Dao answered at the right time and sighed: "It's all because the juniors are not angry, and they can't break through to the realm of grandmasters for a long time, otherwise they can share their worries with the head hall master for Xiangye." ”

"In all the countries of the world, the number of people who practice martial arts is millions, and they can practice to a realm like Hall Master Zheng, and they are not enough to describe it with one in ten thousand, so why be too humble?"

Shi Miyuan appeased a few words, and changed his words, "But after all, the old man is dozens of years old, which can be regarded as a fluke, after so many years, he has really invited a few characters who are not inferior to Hall Master Zheng to be guests in this manor." ”

"Alas, for the sake of this incident, the old man has given up his friendship over the years, and asked them to help him try it too."

Zheng Dao and the others' hearts moved slightly.

'It's finally here! ’

Things are forced to this point, this time I can finally see how much foundation this old Dong XZ has.

In fact, they had long heard that Shi Miyuan's mansion was in charge of the four parts of "life and death".

"Snatch" is the meaning of plunder, that is, the most obedient, the most capable of doing things, and the most frequent out of the prime minister's house.

The seven factions of the Prime Minister are the symbols of these eagle dog private soldiers.

And the so-called "Yu" refers to Shi Miyuan's influence in the imperial court, and uses this influence to attract many forces that have formed alliances.

This is the real foundation of Shi Miyuan's monstrous power, which includes Ding Daquan and Kuanggutang.

But there are no permanent friends in officialdom, and the same is true in the rivers and lakes, these forces that recruit alliances often have a lot of roots long before they take refuge in Shi Miyuan.

If Shi Miyuan wants to drive them to do things for him, he needs to pay them much more benefits than the rewards for the seven factions of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

They should all be regarded as outsiders in Shi Miyuan's place after all, and they can't be completely regarded as henchmen.

"Sheng" is a hundred kinds of talents invited by Shi Miyuan on the rivers and lakes for so many years in order to study the art of longevity.

These people may not be good at fighting, and they don't usually need to help him go out to run errands and eradicate any hostile forces, they just need to honestly help him do research, and they will naturally have regular rewards and enjoyment.

For example, Qin Wuqiu, who is known as "the first person in the contemporary world".

After helping Shi Miyuan set up the Qimen Great Array of the entire manor, he has been staying in this manor for all these years, using magic to assist those strange doctors, medicine idiots, and poison kings to study the secret of longevity, and has never gone out again.

His food and clothing, the enjoyment of fine wine and beauty, some habits that are not humane to outsiders, and the needs of those in his clan to become officials and lords, all of which were satisfied by Shi Miyuan, it was really like living in a fairyland.

It is said that once, on a whim, Qin Wuqiu drew a drawing, which showed a scene of a loving couple being broken up and a beauty being ravaged.

He painted the beauty in great detail, and often lamented that such a beauty only existed in his imagination, on the paper, and could not be realized.

Unexpectedly, Shi Miyuan heard about this, and arranged for people to search for a woman similar to the beauty in the painting, and after finding it, he secretly arranged for her to meet a talented man and become a loving couple.

It lasted fifteen months, and finally tied the couple in front of Qin Wuqiu.

It can be seen that in order to seek longevity, Shi Miyuan attaches great importance to these people.

But for Qin Wuqiu, if Zhao Lizong wanted to see him, he could see him at any time.

Some of the organs in the main hall of Kuanggu Hall refer to Qin Wuqiu's drawings.

Only in the four parts of "Life and Death", the group of people who represent "killing", even Zhao Lizong has not figured out the details for so many years.

"Everyone!"

Shi Miyuan's voice raised a little, "Please show up and meet them from the sect." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Lizong's eyes suddenly rolled, and there was an extremely powerful and domineering look, which flashed and disappeared.

He was already a great master of the Grandmaster realm many years ago, although he did not refine his skull to become a grandmaster, but it also involved spiritual secrets, and within a radius of three miles, no one who threatened him could hide his senses.

Every time he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had already clearly reflected the threat level of everyone around him.

But just as Shi Miyuan finished saying that sentence just now, he suddenly felt that within a hundred zhang, there were three auras similar to the heads of the seven factions of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was a sudden drastic change.

The light outside the entire hall seemed to be dimmed.

There was a sound of wind and rain blowing like bananas, sweeping through the forest and coming near.

But when Zheng Dao and Ding Daquan turned their heads to look, there was neither rain nor wind.

In the quiet air, a cloud of gray smoke suddenly floated, and a figure stepped out of the smoke and stepped into the hall.

This person is dressed in black, young in appearance, looks less than thirty, and has ordinary facial features, not handsome and not ugly.

There are no moles, no scars on the face, neither a high nor low hairline, neither big nor small ears, neither thin nor fat cheeks, nothing to call characteristic.

Perhaps the only thing that is different from ordinary people is that he has an iron flute in his hand.

"One body and three shadows, the demon dragon of the Tang Sect?"

Zhao Lizong's voice came out slowly, but his eyes were not only looking at this person, but also at the ground behind the person's side.

Under the reflection of lights in many different directions, several shadows may appear at the same time, with different lengths and different shades.

This is normal.

But when Zheng Dao and Ding Daquan followed Zhao Lizong's line of sight, the two normal shadows suddenly flickered and rose from the ground, forming two people.

"Tang Soul, I've seen Brother Zhao!"

The man arched his hand, as if there was only one Zhao Lizong in his eyes besides Shi Miyuan.

"It's you."

Zhao Lizong said in a deep voice, "It is said that you died under Meng Zhaoxuan's knife more than ten years ago, but I didn't expect that you were actually in Lin'an." ”

As early as the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, it had tried to split the territory and occupy Sichuan and Shu, and set himself up as the king, but was defeated by Yue Fei and hid in the mountains, and the vitality still exists.

More than ten years ago, the Mongol army invaded the land of Sichuan and Shu, and the old master of the Tang Sect, under the recommendation of Shi Tianze, a Han general in the Mongolian army, was ready to cooperate with the Mongols to exterminate the Song army in exchange for the position of the king of Shu promised by Mongolia.

However, there were righteous people in the Tang Sect who reported to the Bashu Sword Pavilion, and the head of the Sword Pavilion passed through Fuyao Mountain and sent a message to Meng Zhaoxuan.

Later, in that battle, the old master of the Tang Sect was killed by Meng Zhaoxuan, and the contemporary master of the "Demon Dragon" Tang Soul is also said to have been killed in the chaos.

"Meng Zhao announced the destruction of my Tang Sect, and also included those traitors in his account, known as the New Tang Dynasty, these debts, I will have to settle with him sooner or later."

Tang Soul said faintly, "Fortunately, this opportunity is not far away." ”

Tang Soul was already over fifty years old back then, but now that he looks at it, he is younger than he was at the beginning.

Zhao Lizong secretly thought, this person is only afraid that he has already stepped into the realm of grandmasters, but he doesn't know which path to take.

Shi Miyuan said with a smile: "The old man's original group of distinguished guests, in the past ten years, have been defeated or subdued by the Tang Sect Master, and this time they will also go out with the Tang Sect Master." ”

"Leaving the sect, seven days later, you and the Tang Sect Master can also be regarded as cooperating with a drill, and when Meng Zhaoxuan is in the turmoil the next day, you can start to have a more tacit understanding."

No one knows what kind of mentality a world's number one master will have and what he will do before he dies.

Shi Miyuan was actually very uneasy in his heart.

In case Meng Zhaoxuan became unscrupulous before he died, decided to mobilize forces, and personally killed him with a knife, eradicated several big tumors, and then went down to Huangquan, he had to be prepared.

Of course, it would be best if he could take advantage of the fact that the masters of all parties did not want Meng Zhaoxuan to die, and the opportunity to study martial arts to steal the results, and then kill this guy who made people sleepless.

Zhao Lizong's mentality is surprisingly similar to Shi Miyuan, just because he has strong martial arts and has more confidence than Shi Miyuan.

So his thoughts are a little more intense.

"Okay."

Zhao Lizong got up, the light in his eyes was restrained, he clenched his fists and said, "With Brother Tang's help, after seven days, this matter will be done!" ”

Zhang Shuwei and Su Hanshan are fine.

This time, it may be a good opportunity to hit Fuyao Mountain hard.

Before Meng Zhaoxuan returned to Lin'an, he first destroyed and locked one of his arms!
