Almost none of the news that came to Chang'an was good.

The assassinations of officials from all over the country poured into Chang'an like winter snow, and like wild horses driven by people on the vast grasslands, they poured in one after another.

This young Holy Emperor was frowning every day, although he had basically all the civil and military generals, but in the face of this matter, it was useless.

They may be able to deal with the crisis, they may be able to have many policies that benefit the country and the people, but they can't stop the assassination organization that suddenly appeared.

The lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and under the maintenance of many humerus veterans and rookie talents, there will basically be no problems. But this assassination really gave him a headache.

What made him most uncomfortable was that his brother had recently taken refuge in the new house in Chongrenfang, and he refused to see anyone.

This high position has become the shackles and troubles of Xuanyuan Rende at this time. What he likes the most is the time in the East Palace, he has an older brother, he has a father, and at the same time he has a father's love that he has never had before, as well as his brother's love. If he could, he would rather not have a position that the world would envy, and only wanted to go back to the past.

Now he understands the helplessness of his father in the past.

The young emperor sighed, and like his father, he sat alone on the Qianlong Palace.

The high position is bound to be lonely, but he has not yet adapted to it, and he has been forced to accept it.

The moonlight entered the main hall, and he smiled helplessly.

A little eunuch stumbled in, and Xuanyuan Rende's eyes lit up, revealing a bit of heroism.

When the little eunuch saw the little emperor's angry eyes, he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Long live the Lord spare, the little one has an urgent matter. ”

At night, the dragon hall was the same as when his father was, and there was no candle flame except for the king, who sat on a cold high seat.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Xuanyuan Rende saw clearly the little eunuch who stumbled in.

The man was sweating profusely at this time, and he was trembling on his knees.

Now in the twilight of spring, the spring breeze is slightly cool, and there is no summer heat, but the sweat on his forehead is like being in a furnace.

Xuanyuan Ren recognized that this person was Li Zhongxian, who was by his father's side at the beginning.

He is generally very tolerant of acquaintances, otherwise Guo Jinghui and the other three old men would not have chosen him among Xuanyuan Chi and him.

In troubled times, the lord of martial virtue is needed, and the prosperous world needs the king of benevolence.

"Get up and talk!"

Li Zhongxian didn't dare to get up when he got the order of his master, but took out a letter from his arms with both hands, held it high above his head, and said with a trembling voice: "The villain got an urgent report, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he collided with the Long Live Lord." ”

Xuanyuan Rende looked at his frightened appearance, and was a little suspicious in his heart, so he directly ordered: "Present it!"

Li Zhongxian replied resignedly, and hurriedly handed over the letter.

Xuanyuan Rende looked at the envelope and saw that it was covered with fine fire paint. This kind of gorgeous fire paint is usually used exclusively by their Xuanyuan family, and he has never seen his father or brother use it. It's just that in the library of the Hanlin Academy, he saw an envelope with half a fire paint on it.

He looked at the sealed fire paint, and waved his hand to let Li Zhongxian go down.

Li Zhongxian stood up tremblingly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He had barely turned around when he heard the young emperor's voice.

"If that person refuses to detoxify, you go to the Tai Hospital and let the imperial doctor help you take a look. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhongxian hurriedly knelt down, tears and sweat falling down in big drops.

Now, how dare he underestimate this young emperor.

He became a celebrant eunuch, and just like Hao Lianying at the beginning, he would find an opportunity to go out and have fun with the widow and have a good time.

But today, he was on the road, and two young men broke into the house, fed him a pill, and gave him this letter. The only condition is to deliver the letter to the current Holy Emperor, otherwise there is only a dead end.

Li Zhongxian is finally the Holy Emperor, loyal to power, but more loyal to his own net worth and life.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and send the letter in.

But he never thought that this young emperor could see through him at a glance. Li Zhongxian kept kowtowing, and he was about to break.

Xuanyuan Rende frowned, and could only scold: "Hurry up!"

Li Zhongxian didn't dare to stay, this time he got the kindness of this little Holy Emperor, and when he heard this, he really curled up his body in a ball and rolled out of the main hall.

Xuanyuan Rende was a little helpless, and was angry with this little eunuch. He then turned his gaze to the letter and opened it.

After reading a few words, his face changed, and he hurriedly stepped down from his high position, tilting his head, like a scholar who studied hard by the moonlight. The more Xuanyuan Rende looked, the paler his face became, and finally beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

After reading this letter, he took a breath and shouted loudly: "Let Xun Fa, Chu Shilian and Mr. An Shixiang come to see me!"

Of the three pillars of the year, Guo Jinghui passed away suddenly, and the other was also sick in bed, and now only An Shixiang remains.

After receiving the order, the three of them hurried over.

When they arrived, they saw that the young Holy Emperor was still wearing a dragon robe, and his face was a little pale.

In the Qianlong Palace, candles had already been lit, and the dark room was bright.

Seeing that the three of them had arrived, Xuanyuan Rende waved his hand and drove all the people and maids out, and at the same time, the door of the Qianlong Palace was closed, and the Imperial Forest Army suddenly appeared at the door to surround the main hall.

The three of them were all taken aback when they saw this formation.

Although Xuanyuan Rende is young, he is not a fool, but because he has suffered a lot of bullying in the past, he is not old in the midst of benevolence.

"Don't be afraid, let the three of you come late at night, there is something important to discuss. ”

So saying, he handed the letter to the three of them himself.

An Shixiang took the lead in taking the letter, and soon passed it to Xun Fa, Xun Fa's face changed at first, and then returned to normal; as for Chu Shilian, after reading it, he frowned.

Xuanyuan Rende quickly glanced at the expressions of the three people, his face was a little solemn, his brother had always protected him, and now he was needed to protect his brother.

"Let's talk about it!"

Chu Shilian was the last to look at it, handed the letter to Xuanyuan Rende, but was the first to say: "The ministers also know some about the affairs of the demon clan, but the big ...... General Xuanyuan was controlled by them, but he didn't know it. This Nine Dragons Fu, Wei Chen also knows a little, as for the choice between the two, I want to listen to Lord An's high opinion first, if there is a difference, Wei Chen will raise an objection. ”

Xuanyuan Rende heard that Chu Shilian sold Guanzi and threw this hot potato to An Shixiang, and he didn't care about him, just looked at him coldly.

After all, this is an important minister left by his father and Guo Jinghui, and the first time he asked for advice was this performance, which made him really a little dissatisfied.

"These two, the bloodline of the Xuanyuan family, are related to the Nine Dragons of the world, if you can ask for it, you naturally have to keep it. As for how to protect it, it depends on four people. An Shixiang's old and cloudy eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.

Xuanyuan Rende was already helpless, but when he heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Which four?"

An Shixiang thought for a moment, and then said: "The first person is Your Majesty, your brother, the current General Xuanyuan, and the second person is the loyal Marquis Xu Chang'an mentioned in the letter, after all, the choice given in the letter is related to this little marquis." Not only that, the relationship between the Xu family and the Xuanyuan family was irreversible. Although the old man is old, he knows that this little marquis has a powerful force behind him. ”

Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Rende sighed and said: "The choice they gave, the Nine Dragon Fu can be exchanged for Xuanyuan Chi's peace, and Xu Chang'an's life can also be exchanged for Xuanyuan Chi's peace." ”

He said, looking at the expressions of the three at the same time.

But the expressions of the three of them did not change in the slightest, and even Xun Fa, who had the deepest bond with Xu Changan, did not speak.

"So we need to look at these two people, and the remaining two are the King of Jin, he went this time to find a force that can help the Holy Dynasty on the bright side, and the last person is Mr. Chai of the Bihan Division, Mr. Chai also has a force behind him, and he has entered the WTO and is willing to contribute to the people of the world. However, the only thing that worries Mr. Chai is his friendship with the little marquis. ”

After An Shixiang finished speaking, he glanced at Xun Fa, but Xun Fa didn't have any expression.

"If these forces can work together, they will definitely be able to solve this problem, but it will be difficult. So there must be a trade-off, and as for what to do when it comes to the trade-off, I would like to hear Mr. Xun's opinion. ”

Xun Fa knew that this was a test.

Although emotionally he is more inclined to Xu Chang'an, there are times when they have to make trade-offs and consider from the perspective of a king.

"Xu Chang'an, Xuanyuan Chi, Nine Dragon Fu. ”

He said two names and one word in turn, and this was the order of abandonment.

As soon as his voice fell, Xuanyuan Ren

Decai wanted to speak, but he didn't expect Chu Shilian to take the lead. Although Xuanyuan Rende was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say much.

"Mr. Xun is worthy of being a member of the Legalist family, if you look at the general situation, there is no problem with your order, but ......"

Hearing Chu Shilian's words, Xun Fa immediately asked, "But what?"

"The old man of my family is also a cultivator, although his cultivation is not high, but he knows one thing, because the Ji family wanted to gather the Nine Dragon Fu, this is why Xu Ningqing appeared to help the Xuanyuan family and overthrow the powerful Ji dynasty. Although he didn't know much about the affairs of the masters, he knew one thing clearly, there was an organization called the Sword Pavilion, he silently protected the people, and several of the people in it were the strongest people in the world. More importantly, their pavilion master's surname is Xu ......"

After saying this, the remaining three people glanced at each other, which was really difficult to choose.

"Although I can't confirm this, there is one thing, Xu Xiaohou's senior brother is called Qi Fengjia, you all know it. ”

With that, he closed his mouth tightly.

"Then you mean to let Xuanyuan Chi and Xu Changan change?keep the status quo unchanged and sacrifice Xuanyuan Chi?" Xun Fa frowned, at this time he didn't care about offending the Holy Emperor.

Chu Shilian smiled and looked at Xuanyuan Rende meaningfully.

Xuanyuan Rende realized that he had underestimated this Zhongshu who was quickly promoted.

"Both of them are my older brothers, and no one is more important. "Xuanyuan Rende is also difficult to choose.

"So, let them decide for themselves. Even if one of them was killed or injured, it was their choice. Your Majesty will neither be spitted on by the people of the world, nor will it be embarrassed, their choice is the best choice. ”

Xuanyuan Rende sighed and closed his eyes, there was no way to do it.

"Okay, let people find out the whereabouts of Brother Xu, and immediately find King Jin, and let him come to see me as soon as he comes back!"

......

Xu Changan walked ahead, followed by a pouting girl.

"Miss Tao, I'm going to Chang'an, you don't have to follow. ”

Xu Changan stopped and said to Tao Youting behind him.

"Who said that I followed you, I will also go to Chang'an. The girl looked at the sky and pouted.

In fact, Xu Changan knew very well that if it weren't for Tao Youting, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been so smooth along the way.

He could only take a deep look at Tao Youting, and continued to hurry, letting the girl follow behind him.

......

A little Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe came to the front of the city, looked at the words on the city wall, and excitedly pinched the neck of the little white cat in his arms and shouted: "Amitabha, the poor road has finally arrived in Chang'an!"

The little white cat was pinched by him and barked dissatisfied.

......

Qi Fengjia couldn't find anyone from the Huo family, nor could he find Zhan Kaicheng.

In despair, he took the knife and walked to the edge of the field.

He didn't know where it was, he just knew that he wanted to avenge his two junior brothers.

There was an old man planting rice at the edge of the field, and he sighed and sat down on the edge of the field with his eyes blank.

"In this field, there are always a lot of deep pits drilled by loaches. If rice seedlings are planted in those places, they will definitely not grow well. There's no way, it's better to change places and plant again, and the result will be the same. ”

Qi Fengjia looked at the old man muttering to himself, and felt a little strange.

Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly felt a huge aura rush to him.

He looked at the old man, and saw that the old man had walked out of the field, and there was a lot of dirt on his trouser legs, and even a few leeches.

The old man wore a straw hat, bent down, took all the leeches, and put them in the sun, then raised his head, showed his yellow-brown teeth at Qi Fengjia, and said with a smile: "This guest, the old boy likes to play chess the most, are you interested in playing a game together?"

A sincere smile appeared on the old man's dark face, but Qi Fengjia knew that this old man was not weaker than him!

He nodded, staring at the old man with doubt.

It's back, tired.
