Volume 1, The King's Decree Chapter 31, Five Monks Trouble the Imperial Court

I never thought that the fourth prince didn't stay in his wide compound, but he appeared here, obviously guarding against something happening.

Shen Desan is shrewd, since the accident in Changle City three days ago, this road is not very peaceful, and there are several batches of teams that come out of the capital to greet him.

Those people didn't know what to do, and there was no way to know whether they had made a move when they met Nie Xiang.

Welcome into the main hall, everyone is seated, there are little monks come forward to watch tea, and there are more wooden fish sounds in the courtyard.

"Boss Shen, are the goods good?"

"Here, the fourth prince, you inspect the goods. Shen Desan took the statue of the night-shining Pegasus with both hands and put it on the coffee table.

The fourth prince gently stroked the smooth surface, and said excitedly: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Miss Xiao, have you picked up the things from Yongle Fang?"

He had asked the thief to come forward before, and the price he paid made his heart ache, but when he heard that Nie Xiang had gone to Changle City in person regardless of the safety of the situation in the capital, he realized that he had not lost his capital.

The masters who can deal with Nie Xiang in the whole world are not counted, and the old thief is just one.

Xiao Le nodded, took out the close-fitting package from his arms and handed it to the fourth prince.

After opening the package, inside was a letter and half a jade pendant, and Shen Desan's eyes were about to pop out and fall on it.

There are a lot of rumors about the identity of the prince in the city, how bizarre they are, these two objects seem to be the hole cards of the four princes.

"Boss Shen, this journey must be tiring, this thing has been prepared in the courtyard, you can rest for the time being, and when things are clear in a few days, I will send you away. ”

After inspecting the objects, the eyes of the four princes were bright, and the tone of their speech was significantly quickened.

This is an undoubted condition, since the fourth prince has given him the steps, even if Shen Desan is reluctant, he has to take it honestly.

The water in the capital is deep, and he came here for this transaction and to return to the family.

The money has not arrived, he can't leave, and now he is praying that the four princes can succeed immediately, no matter what earth-shattering things the other party is going to do next, he Shen Desan can't get off the boat.

"The four princes, we will retire first, and if there is something to do, just give orders!" Shen Desan bowed and exited the hall first.

The tea on the table was still warm, and no one drank it.

Seeing that everyone was gone, the four princes coughed twice: "Master Wisdom, everyone is gone, come out quickly." ”

From the screen at the back of the hall, an old monk with a white beard and white eyebrows came out, holding a Buddhist bead in his hand, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he sat beside the four princes with a smile.

"Master of Wisdom, although there are some twists and turns, fortunately, the remedy is timely, and they are all brought here safely. The fourth prince was very respectful to this person, and from his birth to the present, this old monk can be said to have been very helpful to him.

This time, through the old monk's own connections, countless monks and disciples were invited from Xishui Prefecture and Beiyi Prefecture, and they hid in various places in the city.

The old monk looked at the few items placed on the coffee table and was very satisfied.

"You can take the next step, tomorrow morning, you can determine the ownership of this throne!"

When the old monk said the last few words, it seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, that ruthless energy, where is a self-cultivation monk.

Since this courtyard, there have been little monks running out quickly, all wearing sackcloth cloaks, and heading towards the streets and alleys.

Looking at the scene around him that was suddenly busy, Shen Desan knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he went to the room to rest after eating early.

The rest of the people also divided their own rooms, and Liu Xiaoyi's room, in addition to Yu Wenwan, there was also a bald head.

It was none other than the clear space from the Southern Wilderness, and it happened that he walked into the courtyard with food.

"I saw it as soon as you came in! Lord Liu, Lord Yu, you shouldn't have come here! It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous!"

The clear space was full of sadness, and this time he saw a friend, and immediately poured out all the bitter water in his stomach, "My senior brothers have been preparing for dozens of days, just waiting for the night to start today, I'm afraid that this capital will be ruined! ”

This little monk himself is a broken mouth, and when he was in a hurry, he said faster, Liu Xiaoyi hurriedly handed him a glass of water and asked him to slow down.

"Clear space, the capital is going to be chaotic? Could it be that the monk still wants to kill?"

"My master didn't tell me that after the martial arts competition in front of the Buddha, my five fellow senior brothers appeared under the ring together, these five are not easy to mess with, all of them are arhats, and their cultivation is in the earth spirit realm!"

There are thousands of brothers of the same generation in the clear space, all of whom are from the Dahua Gui Temple, and the five strongest brothers are also famous in the rivers and lakes.

The four princes are related to the Buddha, and when they were born, they were called the reincarnation of Nyolai, and secretly it was the strategy of this intelligent monk.

Buddhism and Taoism, in the Iron Dynasty are relatively marginal, heavy on military and light literature in the territory, this religion is even more difficult to find, when it is transmitted to the wisdom of this generation of monks, not willing to stay in the countryside and remote places, so they have to make this decision.

Once the four princes succeed, they will be able to shine in accordance with Buddhism, and the intelligent monk will naturally become the emperor monk.

This old monk can wake up with a smile in his dreams recently, don't look at his age, he has a lot of flowers, and any precepts are all floating dust in front of power.

Liu Xiaoyi was stunned, and after listening to Jingkong for a long time, he realized that the monk was a vegetarian in his mouth, but his heart and eyes were meat-eating.

"I'm afraid these five eminent monks alone, as well as those thousands of monks, aren't they? ”

Jingkong took out a crumpled map from his arms, with various markings on it, "Although the crown prince has the Blue Feather Army, the four princes also have the Red Tassel Iron Horse, and they have been pressed into the Imperial City Root since this morning, waiting for the news inside." ”

In the hands of each prince, there is some of their own family background, although the four princes are young, but the city is quite deep, he has been on guard against the monks all these years, and he has secretly cultivated some forces.

"Our task is to wait for the five senior brothers to make a disturbance, and then rush directly into the court and occupy it, and then the prince will raise troops again, which is a rebellion!"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll run out and talk nonsense?" Liu Xiaoyi ate the food, laughing while eating.

When Jingkong heard this, his face changed a few times: "I only said it when you were a friend, you can't harm me! Master asked me to manage those junior disciples, but I don't want to make trouble, I have no choice, I have no choice!"

He was also under too much pressure, and when he learned that what he was doing was actually a seizure of power, he was so frightened that his hands and feet weakened, and it took him a while to recover.

"And what are you going to do then?

Jingkong was about to cry: "Everyone has rushed, I have no other way, Master's order, I dare not disobey." ”

The rules of the temple are strict, and there are strict rules between master and apprentice, and between generations.

Liu Xiaoyi thought about it, his sword was stolen by the old god, so where would the other party be in the capital at this time?

There are no guards here, and it is easy to sneak out, but the key is that it is inconvenient to move late with residual warmth.

After eating, Jingkong didn't dare to stay for a long time and left first, leaving a map of the house so that Liu Xiaoyi could find him.

Yu Wenwan also saw his concerns, sat beside him and said, "I'll stay in this room and wait for you to come back."

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Liu Xiaoyi came back to his senses and found that the woman in front of him was looking at him gently, it was a completely trusting look, unguarded, clear as water.

"Such a big event, if I know martial arts and want to get involved, you don't want the little monk to have an accident, right?"

For Liu Xiaoyi, although he has not known each other for a long time, the other party's true temperament is not hidden, and he is a rare friend.

This is going to the palace, nine deaths, since he is here, Liu Xiaoyi is very reluctant to miss it.

My father said that the more I have seen, the sharper the sword in my hand will naturally be.

My father is a swordsman who has gone through strong winds and waves, otherwise how could he be alone to guard a royal order?

"Then before I go, I'll lock the door outside, and don't make a sound. If I don't come back at dawn, you will smash the window with this sword and go to the Shen Zhong sisters. ”

As soon as he said this, Shen Zheng knocked on the door over there: "Brother Liu! Miss Yu, do you have time to come over and talk about it?"

It turned out that a few people over there were also discussing going to have a long time tonight, and they spent a lot of money to buy off the little monk outside and heard some news.

He Qingqing first proposed to go out and join in the fun, she had a lot of bad problems with the old god thief, such a dangerous thing, but in her eyes there was a star-like light.

"How fun, I'm going, follow Senior Sister, I'm Senior Sister!" He Qingqing pulled Xiao Le's arm and sprinkled coquettishly.

Xiao Le kicked her away, "When you get there, you just squat outside and listen, it's dangerous inside." ”

"I'm going too, Brother Liu, let's go together, right? It just so happens that Miss Yu and my sister are here to be companions. Shen Zheng glanced at his sister, he was afraid that Liu Xiaoyi would not go.

If Liu Xiaoyi said no, even if the two cows pulled Shen Zhong, then he would not dare to go, sneaking into the imperial city, he probably wouldn't be able to walk.

Shen Xu glared at his younger brother back: "My brother's head is not bright, how can he drag someone to jump into the fire pit." ”

But seeing Liu Xiaoyi nodding and agreeing, Yu Wenwan did not object, but watched with a smile on the side.

Shen Su was a little puzzled: "Miss Yu, this matter is extremely dangerous, are you willing to ......?"

"I support everything he wants to do. Yu Wenwan turned sideways and replied very seriously.

The capital city in the day is a sophisticated and ingenious instrument running at full speed, and new news is revealed everywhere in the neighborhood movement.

The Prince's Blue Feather Army had been trying to take over the city's defenses since the afternoon, and these Imperial Forest Army only obeyed the Emperor's troop movements, keeping the Blue Feather Army out of the city, preventing them from coming forward.

The red tasseled iron cavalry was waiting under the root of the imperial city, and even the maids and eunuchs in the palace did not want to enter and leave freely.

The state of martial law lasted until nightfall, and these subordinates, who had been on errands in the inner courtyard of the imperial city all year round, finally smelled something.

Because those who went to the Inner Courtyard Prison and the General's Mansion to report the news did not come back.

The old man didn't speak, and the subordinates didn't dare to speculate, and still prepared for the evening's activities according to the usual schedule.

In the huge imperial city, three towering courtyard walls divide the outer courtyard into four layers, and there are several blurred figures, passing through the courtyard walls from different directions, rushing towards the imperial palace in the center.

All five of them wore coarse cloth shirts and wore walkers' hats to cover their faces, looking particularly mysterious in the moonlight.

The speed of the movement is extremely fast, and the toes on the wall are like stepping into cotton, silently.

The palace maids and eunuchs walked up and down the aisles below, unaware that someone was galloping above their heads.

Either flipping and moving, or flying over the wall, it took a quarter of an hour to slip into the palace from outside the imperial city.

"Someone! There are assassins!"

During the old emperor's coma, there were countless masters guarding here, and as soon as the five of them stepped into this range, they were immediately noticed, and the lights on all sides were suddenly lit, and the inside and outside of the palace were as bright as day.

Dozens of brocade guards flew up to the roof and tried to force each other down, but they didn't expect that the five of them were not timid and did it in person.

A Qi Mei stick swept across the large area, and the meniscus knife was like a silver fish falling into the water, breaking into pieces of glazed tiles.

Each of the five men with different blades cleared the roof in the blink of an eye, and one of them disappeared without a trace.

The other four let out a sound of wind, and whistle arrows shot up into the sky one after another, attracting more guards, and no matter how many came, none of them were killed.

A three-inch golden dart suddenly came from the shadows, and at the same time aimed at the vital point of the four people, but fortunately, the four people dodged in time, so they were not secretly calculated.

"Yes, the five monks of Xishui, why do you have to break into the palace at night?" An old man with short hair in black clothes clanged all over his body, as if he had just robbed a blacksmith shop.

These five people are the five senior brothers mentioned in the clear empty mouth, divided into gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and practice the Five Elements Exercises.

He walked up to the four Assassins and slashed his hardware cane horizontally, blocking their path.

"Thousand-Handed Daoist Xu Xing, why are you hiding here? Could it be that the prince sent you?"

There is one person who recognizes the identity of the other party, this is a top master with a hidden weapon, although it is a bit exaggerated to have one enemy and four enemies, but it is not a problem to entangle them for a moment.

"What prince, he can't please move the old man. Today, Xu Mou has to comprehend how powerful the Xishui monk is!"

As he spoke, Xu Xing waved his crutches and smashed them head-on, and at the same time kicked back with his left foot, and several plum blossom darts hit him high in the air from the crook of his leg.

The hardware crutches pressed the eyebrow stick, and the other three people who wanted to come forward to help were forced to retreat half a step back by the plum blossom dart.

"Monk Jingmu, you don't practice this stick very well!" Xu Xing almost broke Jingmu's eyebrow stick with just one move, and his true qi was between the two, pressing Jingmu to kneel on one knee, his face red.

It is also the Ten Levels of Cultivation in the Earth Spirit Realm, and the methods of using True Qi are different, and the results obtained are also different.

Xu Xing's true qi was sharp and sharp, and hitting it was like using a dart to break the surface.

Jingmu roared, went up, shook Xu Xing open, and the meniscus knife behind him rushed straight to the door, and the Jingjin monk specially invited the famous master to build this meniscus knife, cutting gold and breaking jade.

A golden dart blocked the meniscus knife, but I saw that at the handle of the knife, there was a three-inch knife separated, and it was not blocked!

The peculiarity of the knife lies in the fact that there is another knife hidden in a large knife, which is thrown over to pay attention to the big knife, but not to the small knife.

"It's good!" Xu Xing shook his shoulders, and several short arrows whizzed out, not only blocking the knife, but putting the two of them in danger.

A piece of linen rolled up, blocking the short sword with a metallic crashing sound.

The linen cloth made by the monk of pure water, after condensing through the true qi, is as hard as steel and difficult to destroy.

And in the floor under Xu Xing's feet, suddenly a pair of hands stretched out, grabbed his ankles tightly, and pulled them to the ground.

"Bad thing!" Xu Xing secretly said badly, trying to break free, the floor became like a swamp, and the more he moved his body, the faster he sank.

In a hurry, Xu Xing pressed the tip of his tongue against his jaw, puffed up his true qi, and sprayed out from his pores, and the hot air generated quickly softened the soil and turned it into a puddle of liquid.

The metal cane swung downward indiscriminately, forcing the Pure Land monk casting the spell to reveal himself from the wall on the other side.

This busy work made Xu Xing sweat profusely, "It is worthy of being a famous monk of the Five Elements, who dares to come to the palace at night and has two brushes!"

"Daoist, in half an hour, this day will change, I advise you to be smarter. Senior Brother Jingjin Monk said.

The five of them practice the Five Elements Exercises, and they all have superb skills, and they are very hard when they speak.

Taking advantage of the efforts of a few people, the guards outside also rushed to hear the news, and the sound of the whistle arrow resounded in the sky, and it was at night, and it was rarely unheard.

Xu Xing saw that the helper was coming, and raised his crutches again, "This time the three palace generals are here, let's fight again." ”

There were four generals guarding the old emperor's palace in front of him, all of whom were experts in the three armies of Yongguan, how could he not be angry when he saw an assassin sneaking in under his nose.

With swords and guns raised, eight people were in one melee.

The Iron Dynasty has had a smooth season over the years, during which there have been many people, and the court has also attracted talents.

The standard of Ouchi's guards has also risen from the threefold realm of the earth spirit realm to the current fivefold.

Several generals are even masters of the eightfold realm of the earth, and it will be difficult to distinguish the winner from the winner in the melee for a while and a half.

To get to the dormitory, you must enter through the back door of the whole hall and pass through the imperial study before you can reach the dormitory.

The commotion outside is completely inaudible here, otherwise how would the emperor rest?

The Pure Fire Monk leaned against the wall of the verandah and walked briskly inside, and the vicinity of the dormitory was extremely quiet, except for the sound of the stream flowing quietly.

Walking to the gazebo in the center of the water, the Pure Fire Monk took out a small bottle from his arms, and smiled, as long as he put this thing into the dormitory opposite, the matter was done.

Just about to get up, he looked up and saw a swarthy ironclad general, standing in front of the pavilion passage, looking at him with a smile.

"Who's coming? Tell your name!" The ironclad general carried a double hammer, too tall, with a face like a Yama, staring at his eyes like copper bells, and raising his short beard to the height.

The Pure Fire Monk wondered, how could the other party notice the Five Elements Escape Technique he used, and the restraint of breathing?

He didn't answer, he shook himself and turned into a ball of flames, and rushed straight to the room on the other side.

The ironclad general flew out with one hand, and the hammer head lit up with fire, and chased after him.

Feeling the murderous aura coming from behind, the pure fire did not look back, his feet performed exercises, and the two flames stepped on the hammer head, but he rushed forward faster with the help of his strength, and the whole person crashed into the dormitory, the vial was crushed, and a strange fragrance instantly filled the room.

There was a pale-faced old man, lying in a coma on the dragon bed, and after smelling this aroma, he immediately vomited blood from his mouth and kicked his legs to death.
