Xuandu, the Imperial Palace.

Originally, it belonged to the dragon road that only Emperor Zhang Tianxi could pass through, but at this time there was another person.

Zhang Tianxi was wearing a dragon robe, enthusiastically holding the hand of Liu Qianfang, who was dressed in military uniform, and walked towards the palace.

"Pious Fang, I know that you will definitely be able to do it. ”

Liu Qianfang was still a little poor, and said in fear: "It is already a great disrespect for the ministers to trespass the dragon road, how dare you ask Your Majesty to greet ...... in person."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Tianxi laughed, as if he had swept away the boredom that had accumulated over the past few days.

"You are also polite to me, sweeping the Nanxuan Mansion, you are the first meritorious, I should thank you!"

"Don't care about any red tape, let's go, I and my eldest brother have already set up a celebration banquet for you, and our monarchs and ministers will rest today as soon as they get drunk!"

......

The banquet dispersed, the palace people sent the ministers away, and in the huge hall, only Zhang Tianxi, Sha Xuehong, and Liu Qianfang were left at this moment.

Zhang Tianxi seemed to be in high spirits, his face flushed when he drank, and he retired from the palace maid who was waiting, and he was still pouring himself when he sat in the first place alone.

Since he ascended the throne, it has been a long time since he had such a full time, or a gaffe.

This kind of day can only be found in the memories of the time when their brothers wandered around the rivers and lakes.

"Qianfang, tell me how you persuaded Zeng Xu's cheap bones. ”

Liu Qianfang immediately got up from his seat, he drank a little too much, but not to the point of wandering.

"Yes. ”

It seemed to him that it was much harder to tell one thing than to do one.

He needed a little time to brew it out.

"Haha, Your Majesty, don't urge, let's think about it. ”

Sha Xuehong on the side saw that Liu Qianfang was a little embarrassed, so she helped him relieve the siege.

At this time, a noise came from outside the hall, attracting the attention of the three monarchs and ministers.

"Miss, Your Majesty has a decree to talk to Liu Shuai about things, you can't go in!"

I saw that two eunuchs were blocking a girl, but they didn't dare to use strong means.

"Hmph! Senior brother held a celebration banquet, I didn't have time to participate, he is still inside, don't stop me!"

Seeing this, Sha Xuehong looked at Zhang Tianxi with a smile on her face and said, "It seems that there is another one more listener in this audience." ”

Zhang Tianxi smiled bitterly and shouted to the two eunuchs: "You guys stand down and let her in." ”

The two eunuchs were relieved, and saw that the girl rushed in, it was Bai Ye, she was wearing a long skirt, she was not as heroic as before, but it was a little more beautiful.

"Senior brother, you, the eunuch, are too strict, and you are secretly saying something behind my back. ”

Zhang Tianxi smiled embarrassedly, in today's Xuandu, there are only two people who dare to call him "senior brother".

One is the prince Liao Bailian, who also called him so in front of Chu Mo, and the most natural and rampant one was Bai Ye.

She and Mo Song both have royal tokens and can enter and leave the palace freely, but Mo Song is old and respectful, so he naturally understands the truth of not being pampered and arrogant, so it is difficult to use this privilege.

But Bai Ye was innocent, and felt that Mo Song was boring, and the white ghost who was a father was running around for Chu Mo all day long, so he entered the palace with a token three or four times to find Zhang Tianxi.

Maybe it's because of people's popularity, Zhang Tianxi and Bai Ye are very close to each other, and they don't care about Bai Ye to continue to call themselves "senior brother", and no matter how busy they are, they will also find time to hang out with Bai Ye, it can be said that Bai Ye's status in the hearts of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace is higher than that of Sha Xuehong, who often accompanies the king, and they all have to serve this girl carefully, who makes the family a celebrity around the emperor.

Although Bai Ye himself may not think so.

Sha Xuehong also lives in the palace on weekdays, so she is naturally very familiar with Bai Ye, and beckons to her with a smile and motions for her to sit down.

"White girl, it's okay to be a listener, you have to be quiet. ”

Bai Ye pursed his mouth dissatisfied, but still followed Sha Xuehong's instructions, found a position not far from Zhang Tianxi and sat down, and secretly stuck out his tongue.

"Brother Sha just has a lot of rules!"

Liu Qianfang was also stunned by this extra audience, but since Zhang Tianxi and Sha Xuehong had no opinions, he naturally wouldn't say anything.

After some preparation, in his tone without the slightest emotion, the story about Nanxuan Mansion was told.

......

It is said that Liu Qianfang swept the Nanxuan Mansion that day, but when the city was broken, there was no trace of Zeng Xu, the prince of the mansion.

In the makeshift tent in the city, Liu Qianfang and his two lieutenants were waiting for the scout's reply.

"Report!"

A lightly turned scout rushed into the tent like a small whirlwind, and in the face of the three bigwigs in the Xuandu army, he only bowed slightly, without too much red tape.

This is all requested by Liu Qianfang, military intelligence first, don't fix those false courtesies.

"Tell the marshal and the two deputy marshals that we have found Zeng Xu's traces!"

Liu Qian's face was grim and said, "Report quickly." ”

"During the siege of the city, Zeng Xu's butler was seen traveling with him to the outskirts of the north of the city. ”

"There is a Buddhist temple there, and there seems to be ambush soldiers around it, with no less than a thousand people, and it is estimated that Zeng Xu is hiding in the temple. ”

Liu Qianfang stood up violently, and the two lieutenant generals also got up immediately when they saw this.

"Prepare the horse," Liu Qianfang walked directly to the outside of the account: "Ben Shuai personally led a team of people over." ”

As he passed by the scout, he reached out and patted the other man on the shoulder, saying, "In the future, it seems and is estimated that in your reports, this kind of word will not appear again." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the tent quickly, and the two lieutenants immediately followed, leaving only a scout in a cold sweat.

Not long after, a thousand elite horsemen led by Liu Qianfang personally killed the Buddhist temple in the mouth of the scout.

This is indeed a Buddhist temple, this kind of religious building that is extremely rare in the territory of Dayue, there is still a considerable scale here, built larger than the courtyard of many rich merchants, and I don't know how many pilgrims come to burn money on weekdays to offer it.

As soon as he arrived at the Buddhist temple, Liu Qianfang immediately felt a murderous aura, which was not something that a so-called master could exude, but a dangerous aura that could only be possessed by a master of a hundred battles.

"All troops on alert!"

Before the order was issued, a cannon rang out behind the Buddhist temple, and the crowd rushed out from there.

They were all armed with sharp blades, and they were all lightly armoured, and they were not armoured, but they were in strict formation, and even under such a surprise attack, they were still chaotic and orderly, and at a glance they were well-trained dead soldiers.

From their murderous aura and movements, Liu Qianfang could judge that these people's kung fu was by no means weak, at least far stronger than ordinary soldiers.

He didn't want to fight Zeng Xu anymore, he came to persuade him to surrender, but this incident happened suddenly, and he could only command the team to quickly change formations to resist the enemy.

A tragic battle began.

......

Bai Ye was listening to the rise, Liu Qianfang suddenly stopped, she woke up like a dream, and urged a little unsatisfied: "Brother Liu, go on, don't hang people's appetites, okay?"

Zhang Tianxi looked at her delicate appearance, and only smiled dotingly, and it had to be Sha Xuehong to excuse Liu Qianfang.

"Don't embarrass him, the white girl, he's usually a stuffy gourd, you let him think about it, a good meal is not afraid of being late." ”

Bai Ye pursed his lips and said angrily: "Hurry up, hurry up, one thing has been talked about for a long time, isn't it a big man." ”

Sha Xuehong saw that Liu Qianfang was still speechless, so she simply threw bricks and stones, and said: "If I guessed correctly, the next thing should be a big victory for our side, right?"

Liu Qianfang nodded when he heard this: "That's right, they are about five hundred people, and our side has wiped them all out at the cost of less than a hundred casualties." ”

Bai Ye asked Sha Xuehong curiously, "Brother Sha, didn't he tell you quietly before?"

"And didn't Brother Liu say that these dead soldiers are not weak in martial arts, why did they lose so badly?"

"Silly girl," this time it was not Sha Xuehong who spoke, but Zhang Tianxi, he smiled: "You really don't have common sense, although these dead soldiers are strong in martial arts, but they are only in foreign kung fu, and there are no super strong people like your father, how can they not be strangled when they challenge the cavalry twice as large as their own in the posture of foot combat?"

"Your Majesty is wise," Liu Qianfang said, "and let the minister finish talking about the rest of the matter." ”

......

Liu Qianfang pulled Chu Jiang out of the lifeless body in front of him, and a large amount of blood sprayed his battle armor red.

It was the first time he had killed someone since his expedition.

There were corpses everywhere in front of him, most of them of the dead.

His own cavalry was also partially damaged, but it was much better than the enemy.

His gaze looked at the Buddhist temple again, where hundreds of dead people were pouring out, and the death of his colleagues could not shake them at all.

"This marshal is here to convey His Majesty's will!

Liu Qianfang didn't want to continue fighting, although he was not afraid of these dead soldiers, but for him, the war was over, he didn't want to kill any more senselessly, and the first task was to complete Zhang Tianxi's entrustment.

The dead soldiers either didn't receive the order, or they were intimidated by Liu Qianfang's momentum, and this time they didn't rush up.

"Squeak......

The closed wooden door of the temple slowly opened, making a tooth-aching sound, and it seemed that it had been some years.

The three people slowly walked out of the temple, and the dead soldiers around them immediately surrounded them and guarded them.

The one among the three was Zeng Xu, his face was like ashes at this time, but he still forcibly pretended to be fearless.

Naturally, next to him was his most trusted old butler, Zhu Lao, and the other person was a monk in a robe.

The monk strung Buddhist beads in his hand, just bowed his head and chanted silently, as if the swords and soldiers around him had nothing to do with him, and he looked like he was out of the world.

Liu Qianfang clenched Chu Jiang, and there was a slight tremor on the gun.

Zhu Lao is a super master, he has heard of it for a long time, but at this moment, this monk gives him the feeling that it is more dangerous than Zhu Lao.

He took a closer look, and two black and white breaths gradually emerged from the soles of the monk's feet, and there was a strange sense of oppression that was indescribable and unclear.

This is a master of masters.

Liu Dashuai thought so in his heart.
