Nan Huaijin watched these people walk away, and then grabbed He Xiao's hand and spoke: "Senior brother, that emperor's martial arts are really powerful, and it looks much more powerful than you and senior brother." ”

He Xiao smiled and said nothing, just quietly watched the emperor go away.

Li Chun said to her: "The emperor's own martial arts are not high, at most they are only at the level of your senior brother. ”

Nan Huaijin was surprised: "How is it possible!"

He Xiao smiled: "The reason why Kyushu is a Shenzhou, the gathering of dragon qi in the world is related to the Central Plains, and it is related to the emperor's treasure seal. ”

Nan Huaijin was curious, she knew that the jade seal of the country had lost its trace since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, not only the people of various generations of officials and courts, but all kinds of people on the rivers and lakes were also looking all over the world, but they could no longer find the whereabouts of the heirloom seal.

"The jade seal of the country is indeed missing, but our emperor is not a tabula rasa emperor, he has found a real treasure seal from somehow, there is a dragon qi on it, he stares at you, like a state dragon qi pressing on you, you naturally can't move. ”

Nan Huaijin asked puzzledly: "It's just a jade seal, in the final analysis, it's just a piece of jade, is it really credible that the dragon qi is such an ethereal thing?"

Li Chun smiled faintly and said: "Dragon qi is such a thing, it has been recorded since Xia Shang, and it is said that there is a person named Yushu under Zhou Tianzi, Zhou Tianzi said, this world is divided into Kyushu, why Dingzhou?

Nan Huaijin didn't know that she liked to read when she was on Qingyun Mountain, but she didn't know that Zhou Tianzi had such an allusion.

"Don't think about it, he is the commander of the forbidden army, and he searches all the ancient books in the world to find things about the sword mound, and it is strange to know some ancient classics. He Xiao sat down and raised his wine glass and took a sip.

Li Chun glanced at Nan Huaijin, and suddenly wanted to uncover the bead veil on Nan Huaijin's face to see her full picture, I don't know why: "That Zhou Tianzi is King Zhou Mu, when he went out to Kunlun, he and the Nine Heavens Xuannu begged by the Queen Mother of the West joined forces to defeat the descendants of Xingtian, and he had seen a dead dragon, the Queen Mother of the West said, that is the Heavenly Dragon, the dragon corpse is divided into nine sections, King Zhou Mu saw that the dragon body was immortal for thousands of years, and it was still glowing with brilliant golden light, so he couldn't help but touch it, and the dragon corpse turned into a burst of golden light, and then disappeared without a trace. ”

"This is just a myth and legend, Lord Li, you are such a powerful character, can you take it seriously?" Nan Huaijin looked at him puzzled.

A burst of laughter came from under Li Chunjin's mask, as if he was talking to himself, "Mythology, the sword at your waist is the shadow of the ten best swords in the world?"

"How do you know?" Nan Huaijin exclaimed, but she quickly covered her mouth and looked around, the Imperial City Division and the Praetorian Guards were all standing around, motionless.

Li Chun said indifferently: "Don't worry, these are your senior brother's people, besides, with your master on Qingyun Mountain, there is no one in the world who will jump out and grab the sword." ”

Nan Huaijin was timid, she was still young, holding Chengying in her hand and looking at Chengying's pitch-black scabbard.

"Chengying, cast in business, I don't know who, is hidden by the patriot Kong Zhou, and Hanguang, Xiaolian and called Yin Tianzi three swords, for the elegant and exquisite sword, Jiao divided the shadow, the goose fell and forgot to return. Li Chun raised the wine on the table and poured it into his mouth, the golden mask couldn't see his expression clearly, only the corners of his mouth curled.

"The Chengying Sword is said to be extremely sharp, sharpening iron like clay, and being as hard as bluestone can be easily cut. ”

"The ten swords in the world are still close at hand, like ancient books, and it is still a matter of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, why is the jade seal of the Qin and Han dynasties a legend?"

He was right, Nan Huaijin looked at the sword in his hand, Chengying was like the one contained in the ancient books, the sword body flickered at dusk, and the blade could not be seen, and at the same time it was extremely sharp, and he didn't know what the material was.

Aren't all legends that the ancients said?

He Xiao stood up and dusted off the wrinkled clothes on his body: "Okay, you know it's Chengying, don't say it, don't let me not remind you, this is the sword given to her by our two masters of Qingyun Mountain, each of them is a peerless master, don't have a heart, you are not bad for money, Jin'er, let's go back." ”

Nan Huaijin looked up at him and nodded, he took him by the wrist and left, she also glanced at Li Chun when she left, the young generals of the Imperial City Division were gone, leaving some guards, Li Chun sat alone on the tea pavilion, drinking alone.

Nan Huaijin looked at He Xiao and asked, "Senior brother, why did the Imperial City in charge of the inner palace of the Imperial City make you leave, and why didn't Master Li, who was in charge of his forbidden army, leave?"

He Xiao frowned at her and said: "Be quiet, don't let him hear it, I estimate that he will go to the sword mound for a while, Lord Li will not care about his life for the sake of the artifact, you will go back alone in a while, I will take a look." ”

"But aren't you two opponents, what can you do for him?" Nan Huaijin was puzzled.

He Xiao smiled: "As an official of the same dynasty, he took the artifact to fight against the Liao Dynasty, for my Great Song Dynasty, I should go to help." ”

"But didn't you tell me yesterday that Li Chun's mind is not pure, and you want me to be careful when I speak?"

"Okay, don't ask, why do you have so many questions at a young age? Go back and go to bed early, play in Bianjing City for a while, senior brother will look for you to do something after a while. ”

Nan Huaijin looked at him puzzled.

He Xiao shook his head and said: "Don't ask, I came down the mountain to let you help someone solve the case, a tricky case on the rivers and lakes, a fool has to be handled by the government, and when you are well cultivated, I will take you to meet him." ”

After speaking, He Xiao didn't say anything, Nan Huaijin just followed him back to the imperial city embassy first.

Zhuqiu and the others had already slept, and they washed it at will, Nan Huaijin also went to bed early, and at night they heard the sound of the senior brother going out, and they fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up on the second day, Nan Huaijin was stretching on the bed, and she heard the sound of someone walking outside the house.

The slaves and maids in the imperial city envoy have to be busy with the affairs of the house every day, some people bring red lanterns from the east of the city, some go to the western suburbs to buy meat for a day, several men are woodcutters in the house, the weather is getting colder and colder, they need to go to the barren mountains on the outskirts of the city every day to chop firewood and carry back, several people go together, there are talking and laughing, seeing Nan Huaijin go out, but also smiling and respectfully saluting her.

"Senior sister, are you awake, are you hungry?" Zhu Qiu was carrying a plate of vegetarian dishes on the table, she looked at Nan Huaijin and said, on the side were Changfeng and Lu Sanhuan, and the two brothers Qi Zixiu and Qi Wenjin were holding bowls and eating hot noodle soup.

The noodle soup is sprinkled with chopped soup flowers with green onions, ginger and garlic, a few vegetable leaves and a few slices of stewed meat, all of which are lean mutton.

This Bianjing City is different, on the way to Nan Huaijin has been to many small cities, I don't see so many people in the market, look up, are all crowded heads and some people lead cattle and sheep, sheep are led to sell, cattle are used to pull carts.

"This Bianjing mutton is so fragrant, I bought it yesterday, just these three or two catties of braised meat, it cost me a whole amount of money. Lu San also said that Nan Huaijin took a bite, and as he said, she also felt that this mutton did not have half of the mutton flavor, and the taste was rich and very strong.

"Senior brother hasn't come back yet?" Nan Huaijin asked.

Zhu Qiu nodded and said, "In the early morning, there are still people from the Imperial City Division looking at the mansion, and I can't find anyone today." ”

Yu Changfeng said: "I was tired yesterday, even Quan Shou was still asleep, and I will wake him up in a while." ”

"It's better to say goodbye, you're all tired, let's all have a good rest, I'm just asking casually, I know where my brother goes." Nan Huaijin stopped him.

He Xiao naturally went back to the palace and went to the sword mound, he was holding the gate of the Imperial City Division, he was in tatters, his original official robe was broken into strips of cloth, and he was slightly tired.

A few young generals of the Imperial City Division who saw it hurriedly went up to support him and brought him back.

"Don't spread the word about my injury, keep your mouth shut. After He Xiao finished speaking, he coughed twice, a burst of qi and blood surged, blood overflowed from his mouth, and the surrounding imperial city generals looked at it tremblingly, someone went to invite the deputy imperial city envoy of Zheqiu, and he also ordered to strictly guard the door of the mansion, and no one could go out.

Zheqiu healed He Xiao's injuries, and inch by inch of true qi was poured into He Xiao's body, He Xiao frowned, and the blood in his mouth vomited twice and finally calmed down.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Zhe Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief after taking the pulse.

"Zheqiu. He Xiao shouted to stop him.

"My lord, how is it? Better, right?" Zhi Qiu helped him up, and He Xiao eased his breath.

"It's not good, it's a big loss of qi and blood, at least I've had to take herbs to recuperate for a few months. He Xiao looked at him and smiled bitterly, touching his chest, and then Qiu Qiu saw that there was a dark palm print on He Xiao's chest.

Zhe Qiu couldn't think about it, and said, "What kind of master can hurt an adult? Could it be Li Chun?"

He Xiao shook his head, last night, he did go back to the Sword Shrine with Li Chun and the others, and he also wanted to take Tiange again.

The two discussed it properly, and entered the sword mound again, and the two worked together to take Tiange again, and the divine sword was also protected by a terrifying invisible sword qi, Li Chun was on guard, after all, He Xiao had been on guard against the sword mound several times.

The two joined forces several times, and together they grabbed the handle of the artifact.

"Up!"

The two of them let out a low shout, and half of the divine sword penetrated into the stone platform, and it was able to pull out a corner. The sword qi was pressing, and the two hurriedly withdrew, and then the two calmed down their breathing and rushed in again.

"What happened to that?"

Zhe Qiu was puzzled, just waiting for He Xiao to say slowly, He Xiao touched his chest and asked him to bring tea, He Xiao took a sip, blood mixed with water and drank into his throat, he exhaled a long breath before continuing: "I tried with Li Chun more than ten times, and I was able to pull out the sword an inch, but I still couldn't take it out, but it was the wind strength of the stroke barrier. ”

Zhe Qiu nodded, the wind was surprisingly strong, he had tried it himself, and it was the same, and his clothes were torn to shreds in an instant.

"Forget it, this matter is over, don't mention the matter of the sword mound in the future, our Imperial City Division will put it down for the time being, and leave some people to watch. He Xiao instructed, he didn't want to dwell on it anymore, this is not the first time he has been injured in more than ten years, and if he continues like this, there will be no result.

"Yes, what about Lord Li Chun Li? If he wants to enter the sword mound. ”

Zhe Qiu thought about it and then said: "Shall I stop him or let him in?"

He Xiao smiled and said: "If he wants to enter, it is useless for you to stop him, so naturally let him in." ”

"What do you have to tell the official?" said Zheqiu.

He Xiao said: "Keep an eye on the surroundings of the Imperial City Embassy, if there is any change, protect my junior sister and report to me quickly." ”

Zhe Qiu moved his eyebrows: "Could it be that Lord Fei is worried about Your Majesty?"

He Xiao also shook his head and said slowly: "The literati doctors in the court, what means can't be done? They have long seen that the Imperial City Division is not pleasing to the eye, and I am worried that Li Chun or those public ministers and doctors are coming to consult with my Imperial City Division." ”

"In that case, I will command it at once. ”

Fold Qiu Shili, He Xiao waved at him, Fold Qiu walked down quickly, clapped his hands at the door, a young general of the Imperial City Division stepped forward, Zhe Qiu commanded in his ear, the young general bowed and nodded, led a team of soldiers of the Imperial City Division, the copper hammer inner armor jingled, twenty or thirty people stood in two columns, someone brought four horses of the Imperial City Division, this team of people hurriedly out of the door of the Imperial City Division, after a while, another team of people and horses went out, and after a while, it was a burst of people and horses restless and galloped out.
