The two walked out of the house side by side, and saw a group of guards rushing towards them. Zhuge Chen was afraid that he couldn't tell them clearly, so he could only say to Wang Daxue: "Daxue, let's hurry back to the house and jump out of the window to escape." If they stop you, you'll have to take a lot of talk. ”

In other words, Zhuge Chen likes to deal with these people, and there is nothing wrong with saying more. It's just that his situation is not optimistic now, and he just wants to go back to the palace for dinner and lie down to sleep. And he has been very tired these days, fighting in Jiangshui City has never stopped, and he has to cook and wash dishes for the two sisters when he has time to rest. Even if you are busy, you may not be really idle. In a word, it's annoying.

Wang Daxue nodded, returned to the house with Zhuge Chen, and saw Sorrow sitting on the bed staring at the two of them, and asked: "What is going on, Zhuge boy, you explain it to me." I don't believe you don't know the identity of these ascetics, they are deeply trusted by the emperor, and they were killed by you here. If you don't have a suitable reason, don't say it's me, even if it's the head of the Wang family, don't want to protect you under the emperor's wrath. ”

"The sorrowful seniors are sitting in the capital, and they should be able to pay attention to the slightest bit of wind and grass, how could they come so late? If I had come a little earlier, I wouldn't have to make a move. Zhuge Chen seemed to have expected that his Chang'an Palace would attract the attention of this worship ancestor, so he did not feel the slightest surprise, on the contrary, he had already thought about how to say in his heart: "The sorrowful predecessors can take a look at the pile of ashes, where is this group of ascetics, it is clearly the evil cultivator who covets our Dayan Guozuo." I tried my best to make a move, and I didn't ask the royal family to reward me, at least I can't frame a meritorious person, right? If that's the case, the junior's heart will be as cold as a winter night!"

With a cold snort, he walked past Zhuge Chen, and looked at it, and really saw countless unjust souls from the ashes. At this moment, most of the original anger was gone, but he smiled and said to Zhuge Chen: "I'll just say how can you kid be so clever and do something sinnery, don't worry, I will report this matter to the emperor truthfully, but I will naturally reward you again." The emperor's holy name, rewards and punishments are equally clear, since he has made a great contribution to the protection of the country, no matter what, at least he can't treat you badly. ”

"So that's the case, it seems that the younger generation has done nothing wrong, otherwise how can the conscience be at peace?" Zhuge Chen got cheap and behaved, which really made the other two people present a little unbearable to look at directly. Even if it is Wang Daxue, he can't help but slander Bai Yi for doing this, which is really disgusting.

A sad slap slapped Zhuge Chen's shoulder, as usual, and the strength of his hand almost knocked him down.

"Who is coming?" At this moment, the guards finally entered the house, and when they saw the mess everywhere, they naturally thought that the three were thieves with bad intentions. The man at the head frowned and said, "What about the monks? You are so bold that you dare to break into this place and do evil. Don't you know that there is a Zhendao Ancestor in our Dayan Capital City? If you cause trouble, none of you will want to escape. Brothers, stop them, and I'll go to the palace!"

"No need to go. Sorrowfully said: "I am the ancestor of the true path in your mouth. ”

As he spoke, he took out the jade plaque that the emperor personally gave to symbolize his identity, this jade plaque is only one in the whole world, and no one can imitate it, so no one will stand up to question the authenticity of his identity: "These ascetics are actually evil cultivators who covet our Dayan Guozuo, I will tell the emperor about this matter, you don't care." Now pack up your people and go back to the palace, you are not needed here. ”

The guards looked at each other until their leader left the room.

Sadly turned around and said to Zhuge Chen: "I originally wanted to wait for you to drink with you when you come back, but now I'm afraid it won't work, so I have to rush back to the palace to tell the emperor what happened here." ”

Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "This meal is left first, the sorrowful seniors should go back quickly, but don't forget to help me say a few kind words in front of the emperor." ”

"Definitely. After saying that, his figure disappeared in a flash. After staying in this capital for so many years, even if he doesn't have to spend time and painstaking management, it is just a matter of his mind to appear wherever he wants.

The two young men walked towards the palace after leaving the inn, Wang Daxue asked puzzledly: "Brother Chen, how did you see the clues, even the officials in the court who are best at calculating other people's minds have not seen through, and even the emperor and the sorrowful senior have been kept in the dark, but you can always be sober, and even immediately run to expose their identities?"

"Very simple things. Zhuge Chen said leisurely: "Those officials have indeed been clever in their scrutiny of people's hearts, but compared to the mutual understanding between cultivators, it is naturally secondary, not to mention the evil cultivators who will not play their cards according to common sense. In fact, you only need to think a little more to know that this matter is impermanent, why a group of ascetics swaggered into the capital, the first thing to do is not to teach the Dharma in the heart, but to make a little gimmick and enter the palace to conclude that a calamity is about to befall here? Everyone in the world knows that Emperor Dayan is very close to Buddhism, and there are countless temples of all sizes in the capital alone. If a great calamity is coming, it is impossible for the truly respected abbots of the temple not to be aware of it. Even if I can think clearly, the emperor can naturally do it, but if I care, it will be chaotic, and I will realize it later. It's just that when that time comes, if the evil cultivator Buddha succeeds, most of the Mianchang Guozuo will be stolen, and the emperor will want to cry without tears. ”

Wang Daxue nodded clearly, in fact, there were still a lot of doubts in his heart. But looking at the depressed face of the white clothes, he couldn't bear to continue to ask questions.

Approaching the palace, I saw a lot of people outside the door, most of them were disciples wearing the uniform of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, and there was a valuable jade plaque pinned to their chests. Zhuge Chen frowned, walked forward slowly, and asked one of them, "What's going on, why did you gather in front of the palace gate?"

The brown-haired young man turned his head and replied, "In the middle of the capital, you don't even know about such a big thing?" The head of the Wang family led the army to attack and started the first confrontation with the Great Shang army, but he didn't expect to be defeated. Most of the 100,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and those who were still alive almost lost all their combat effectiveness. Tell me, is the head of his Wang family still worthy of the title of the god of war after this battle? His defeat in this first battle undoubtedly made the big merchant open his slap and slap us in the face. Since we have been humiliated, we are naturally unjustly debtors and owners, and we have gathered here to ask three questions, and we want to ask the sinner surnamed Wang!"

Zhuge Chen couldn't help laughing out loud, as for how Wang Daxue beside him could endure it, he would take the Soul Breaking Knife behind his back with both hands and drive away these unreasonable academy disciples.

Bai Yi stopped in his heart: "You don't care about this matter, it's enough for me to be here." Now hurry back to comfort the housekeeper, he must be the one who is in the worst mood when he is approached. ”

"But Brother Chen......" Wang Daxue said unwillingly.

"Listen to me, you're not good at dealing with these things, and I'll call you when I need your help. ”

After Wang Daxue heard this, although he was still reluctant in his heart, he finally turned around and walked into the palace from the main entrance. As soon as these disciples saw that someone dared to enter the party constitution of the palace so openly and brightly, they were naturally indignant, and they wanted to kill Wang Daxue as soon as possible. They rushed forward with a shout, but were forced back by a majestic cyan sword aura. Then Bai Yi walked out of the crowd, even if he was exhausted now, it was still more than enough to deal with this group of academy disciples who were not well-known.

Zhuge Chen followed into the door, and after a while, he moved a chair and sat on the steps, he looked at the academy disciples with melon seeds and said, "What three questions do you have, but it doesn't matter, I want to hear it." ”

The originally silent academy disciples broke out again, and their voices were noisy, making Zhuge Chen frown: "Just say it, don't be like a dog barking." ”k

Seeing that no one listened to him, Zhuge Chen was a sword qi again, and he suppressed this group of academy disciples who seemed to be not afraid of death, but in fact, they were the most afraid of death.

After about a stick of incense, it was only after Zhuge Chen's handful of melon seeds in his hand that he finally stood up and asked, "Who are you, why should we tell you?" Can you represent the entire palace, or is it the scapegoat chosen by the sinner?"

At first, Zhuge Chen didn't pay attention to it, but waited for the following, and only after he knew that the other party would not continue to speak without getting an answer from him, he flicked his wrist, came out of the gap, and hovered over the center of the person's eyebrows.

Bai Yi said loudly: "You have to remember one thing, I don't owe you anything, accompanying you here to spend pure energy is my son is in a good mood now." Otherwise, if they are all gone, what can you do? Don't talk to me about any bullshit reputation, my son will not enter the temple in the future, the rivers and lakes are not big, and I like it if one acre and three points are deep. It's my habit to be so polite to you, otherwise do you think you'd have survived if you were so disrespectful?"

The gap returned from the center of the man's eyebrows, surrounding Zhuge Chen's body, and he didn't leave an inch: "The next time this happens, I don't mind having a few more corpses." What is it for the people of the world to live and live, and you are also worthy of it? It's pure bullshit, not worth mentioning. ”

Although the academy disciples present were annoyed in their hearts, they did not dare to refute it because they were afraid that the flying sword would come suddenly.

Zhuge Chen threw away the melon seed slices in his hand, regained the smile on the corner of his mouth at the beginning, and said: "Now I should be able to talk about it like a normal person, what are the three questions? As far as you are concerned, the kid who almost died under my flying sword." Let me see with my own eyes, how many catties and taels can your so-called qi qi worth?"

The man had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The first question, ask what is the intention of the head of the Wang family! Being in the temple, with an extremely high status, and going out on an expedition, he will be the first to be defeated, how can he be worthy of the hope of the people of Dayan?"

Zhuge Chen snorted coldly and replied: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, have you ever seen anyone who has never been defeated in the battlefield for life? Such a person, isn't he the reincarnation of a god? Before going out on the expedition, he shouted that the head of the Wang family is really the pillar of the Dayan battlefield, and when he was defeated in a battle, he saw the wind and made the rudder, and tried in vain to use words as a knife to cut the head of the family. Why, do you want to show a change of face for my son? If that's the case, please come in quickly, and the reward will be indispensable. ”

The man's face was red, fortunately, he was a well-known disciple in the academy who was praised by Mr. for a calm voice, otherwise Zhuge Chen's words alone would have been defeated: "The second question is, the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, why don't you see the head of the Wang family injured? He was a cultivator of the realm of the Highest Dao, no matter how he could end up in such a situation. His mind cannot withstand scrutiny, and he is afraid that he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. ”

Zhuge Chen laughed and said: "The reason can't be said, so he buckled a hat that he didn't need, is this the face of the scholar of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy? It is true that the head of the Wang family is indeed a cultivator of the realm of the Dao realm, but I am afraid that none of the academy disciples present are mortals who have not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, right? If you are allowed to fight against the people in the market, can you be sure that you will definitely be able to win? In the same way, the master of the Wang family in the battlefield is also a truth. The son of a daughter can't sit down, and the general can't do the same? How many people in the whole world can take the lead like the head of the family? You think you are righteous, and you come to the palace to make trouble, and your courage is commendable. Now I'm sitting in front of you, and I'm going to come up to me because I don't like me. If you choose to stand still in the same place, how can you question the soldiers who shed their blood outside? And even put the charge of "collaborating with the enemy" on the head of the general?

Zhuge Chen's words were loud, even if he didn't hold a sword in his hand, it made the academy disciples avoid it. The butler in the courtyard listened all the time, and couldn't help but feel excited. Although he has been in the Wang family for most of his life, he has never seen the situation like today. If Zhuge Chen hadn't come forward, I'm afraid it would have been really difficult to end.

The housekeeper said sincerely: "The Wang family can get acquainted with this young man, it is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes!"

"One last question!" The man gritted his teeth: "If Dayan collapses on all fronts because of this battle, how can the head of the Wang family make up for it!"

This was the last question that the academy disciples had carefully calculated, and it was naturally their killer move. I thought that this question would end with this, and the step-by-step progress of the first two questions made the people in the king's mansion completely defeated, but unexpectedly, a young man in white appeared halfway through, and solved the two questions one by one and gained the upper hand. But they are still confident that this last question can make the other party unable to get an answer that they can't even convince themselves in their exhaustion. The disciples of the academy held their breath, looking forward to the victory they wanted.

"You and I both know this isn't going to happen, but I want to talk to you anyway, that's all. Just one sentence dashed their hopes. Bai Yi slowly stood up from his chair, and he walked down the steps to the crowd. The disciples of the academy consciously divided a clearing and surrounded Zhuge Chen: "If this kind of situation really happens, no one wants to see it, the head of the family should swear to guard the frontier of Dayan, right? As long as he doesn't die, it will be difficult for Dashang to advance an inch." His life is the guarantee of the people, and such a person is not even afraid of death, but he will be calculated by you scholars who have eaten and drunk enough. How should I say that? The world is even worse, I don't think it is, after all, it is a small group of people, and it does not represent the minds of more people. Then it can only be someone who wants to make a move on the Wang family, and it's no wonder that this is the case. Such a behemoth stands on top of the Dayan temple. If the Wang family does not die, no one will be able to replace it. I know the relationship between the emperor and the head of the Wang family, there is no suspicion between the monarch and the minister, and it is undoubtedly self-inflicted if I want to work on this. Then you can only play some tricks to get him out of power by himself, but it's a pity, it's just a small way, and in the end, it's just yourself who suffers a big loss. ”

He suddenly said earnestly, "You have been taken advantage of by someone with a heart, haven't you?"

Just when the academy disciples were still thinking about the sound of these words, Zhuge Chen had already carried a chair and walked back to the palace. He smiled and said to the housekeeper: "The matter outside has been resolved, since someone wants to calculate the Wang family, then I will cause trouble and let them ask for their own hardships." Don't worry about the housekeeper, hurry up and start the meal, it's taken so much to talk about a big battle, I'm really hungry!"

The butler said repeatedly, "Gotcha!"

Those academy disciples who originally relied on the righteousness of the country and wanted to come to the palace to ask for their guilt looked at each other, and many of them were already asking themselves, if they would not sleep, they had really become a weapon for others to kill people with knives. No matter how strong an alliance is, it will eventually collapse due to internal looseness, and it is very unfortunate that human relations are afraid of careful scrutiny. After a while, these academy disciples left the gate of the palace. The middle housekeeper went out to buy vinegar, and there was no one in his eyes, and it was very clean.

He sighed, puzzled: "The head of the family is humble and never cares about people's interests. So if you want to target our Wang family, it should be the big man in the court? But no matter who it is, with me, an old slave of the Wang family who has stayed here for half my life, no one can put his mind into the door. ”

......

When it was time to eat in the evening, Zhuge Chen sat in the courtyard and feasted.

You don't have to cook your own food, as long as it's served by someone else, even if you don't have oil or water, you can feel full of flavor.

He raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, turned his head and said to Wang Daxue: "Daxue, do you know anything interesting, let's go for a meeting at night." I'm always stuffy at home, and I'm suffocating and crazy. ”

When it comes to places to have fun, Wang Daxue, who used to be a gentleman's brother, naturally opened the conversation: "It's rare that Brother Chen, you have this Yaxing, I know a place to listen to small songs, which will definitely make you linger." ”
