Chapter 94: Antecedents
As soon as the words fell, Ji Cha observed Yan Ji's expression, but did not see a trace of anger on his face, as if he was completely dissatisfied. Instead, Liu Lao opened his mouth and scolded: "Ji Protector, the little prince has nothing to be rude to you, why are you so humiliated by him?"
Ji Cha said: "Is there one?"
Liu Lao said angrily: "That divine knife is the thing left by Yan Tianzi in the past, it is a divine knife for the supreme self-use of a country, it is a symbol ......of a dynasty, you have thoughts about the divine knife, isn't it to humiliate the little prince, and to humiliate the ancestors of the Yan Wang lineage?"
"Mr. Yizhi, there is no need to be so aggressive. Yan Ji interrupted Liu Lao's words, and turned to Hong Chen and Ji Chadao, "Sect Leader Hong, Ji Protector, although you two heroes have only appeared in the rivers and lakes for a short time, you have done many famous things, and even killed Wu Xinyi and Shang Chihui, two dog officials who helped to abuse the law, must be called a hero." Twenty years ago, the Emperor Heavenly Sect led by the two of them produced countless heroes who resisted tyranny, and I have always admired them immensely. Since ancient times, the famous sword is matched with heroes, if it is not in Tianjing, the knife is in the sky, I can't wait to take the sword as a gift. ”
Ji Cha could see that Liu Yizhi and Yan Ji were singing with a white face and a red face, and they didn't believe that Yan Ji would really offer the magic sword with both hands, but they had undoubtedly shown their willingness to make friends. He said: "As long as the little prince hands over the magic knife to us, then the little prince is a friend, and we will make up our minds." ”
"Alas. Yan Yu sighed softly and said, "But I am sick and can't return to my hometown, so I can't give you the divine sword." ”
When Hong Chen heard this, he opened his mouth and asked the question that had been bothering him: "Little Wangye, what disease do you suffer?
"Thank you Sect Master Hong for your concern. Yan Yi replied, "Although my disease is difficult to treat, it does not affect my daily life and practice. ”
Ji Cha said: "Since the little prince is in good health, why don't you return to Tianyou for a long time and officially inherit the throne of King Yan?"
Yan Jian opened his mouth, but he couldn't answer this question for a while. Liu Lao next to him looked anxious, and was about to open his mouth to help explain, when a person suddenly ran in the courtyard, it was the martial artist Gou Or, who knelt down on one leg as soon as he got close, and said: "Tell the little prince, there is a deputy commander of the Ziyi Guard of the Guiyi Division outside, saying that he wants to see you." ”
"Deputy Commander of the Purple Guard?" Yan Wei frowned, "What's his name?"
"His name is Uncle Chen. Gou or said, "The two eldest brothers, Wang Changdai and Li Gaichao, recognized him and told me that he was the guy who injured Master Su." ”
"Could it be that he is here for Master Su?" Yan Ji turned to look at Liu Lao, "Mr. Yizhi, what do you say you are going to do?"
Liu Lao asked Gou He again: "How many people came?" ”
Gou Or said: "There is only Uncle Chen alone." ”
Liu Lao thought for a few breaths and said, "If the Guiyi Division is here to search for Master Su, it will definitely be more than just Uncle Chen. Let's see why he's here. ”
Yan Yu said to Gou He: "You bring Uncle Chen to the living room to see me at night." ”
"Yes!"
Gou or hurriedly leave the yard.
Yan Ji said again: "Sect Master Hong, Ji Protector, you should have seen this Uncle Chen, would you like to see him with me?"
Hong Chen looked at Ji Cha, and Ji Cha said, "Little Lord Wangye will go see him first, let's eat something first, and then go over to have a look later." ”
"Good. Be my guest. ”
Yan Yu arched his hand and walked towards the living room with Liu Lao.
After leaving the courtyard, Yan Jian said in a low voice: "Mr. Yizhi, what do you think of these two people?"
Liu Lao said: "It's a little weird. This Dharma Protector Ji Cha looks quite normal, quite like the style of the Emperor Heavenly Sect's people who act in an unusual manner, but that sect leader Hong Chen is really incomprehensible. ”
Yan Yu agreed: "I think so, too. It seems that Ji Protector doesn't respect him very much, and he himself is even more taciturn and rarely speaks. I don't know if this person is hiding it deeply, or if there is something else hidden. ”
"Moreover, their intention of coming to the little prince is very doubtful whether it is only a divine sword. Liu Lao said, "Even their identities have yet to be confirmed." ”
Yan Ji said lightly: "What does Mr. Yizhi mean is that they may not be Hongchen and Ji Cha?"
Liu Lao shook his head: "No, they should be Hong Chen and Ji Cha, you can see from the names they reported, one is called Black Tea and the other is Ji Chen, but they just changed their names for half of each other." But are they really the sect leader and protector of the Emperor Heavenly Sect? I don't think so. The rivers and lakes always listen to the wind is the rain, and with my understanding of the Emperor Heavenly Sect, even if their new sect leader is young, there is not much possibility of walking the rivers and lakes in a high-profile manner. ”
Yan Yu said: "I remember that Mr. Yizhi mentioned that more than 20 years ago, you had dealt with many people in the Huangtian Sect. ”
"Yes. Old Liu sighed in a sighing tone, "Back then, the old prince was only slightly older than you now, and I was also in the prime of life, as his personal guard." At that time, the Emperor Heavenly Sect was under the banner of 'equalizing the wealth, waiting for the noble and the lowly', and also took out many strange and evil martial arts, attracting many people to join. We had a plan to unite with the Emperor Heavenly Sect to jointly overthrow the tyrannical threat, and we had contact with some palace masters of the Imperial Heavenly Sect, Dharma protectors, and so on. It's a pity that their people don't want to work with us and insist on fighting alone. ”
Yan Jian frowned: "Is it because you can't look down on the power of our Yan King's lineage?"
Liu Lao said: "At the beginning, the old prince and the old prince were still alive. Although the old prince's martial arts are relatively average, he is longer than a bow and horse, familiar with the art of war, and quite strategic. The old prince's martial arts are amazing, and he is one of the few masters in Tianzhou. But the Emperor Heavenly Sect is very strange, and most of the new members it recruits are peasant bandits and robbers, as well as some Jianghu people who worship their teachings. ”
Yan Ji said: "There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust." They obviously had many opportunities to help, but they did not cherish them, and in the end they ended up failing, which was not unexpected. ”
Liu Lao nodded: "The Emperor Heavenly Sect has a total of four gates and sixteen palaces, of which the north gate contains the four palaces of the North Underworld, the North Wound, the North Heart, and the North Moon, the East Gate, the four palaces of Dongshui, Dongwen, Dongle, and Dongzang, the South Gate, the four palaces of Nanli, the Southern Han, the Nanfei, and the Nanjin, and the West Gate, including the four palaces of the West Desert, the West Han, the West Dao, and the West Buddha. Each palace has a unique secret martial arts, and it is powerful.
"At the peak of the Emperor Heavenly Sect, there were more than one million followers all over Kyushu, and its strength was really not to be underestimated. But these millions of disciples can't stand the joint strangulation of the three kingdoms of Xiliang and Nanyue, as well as those martial arts sects and gangs. They have won more support, but they have made more enemies. And although there are many believers, they are like a plate of scattered sand, fighting for themselves, and there are not too many fixed territories, and they are finally wiped out by the iron cavalry of the Three Kingdoms who can fight well, and only some relics are left to survive.
"For example, although there are still many believers in the Emperor Heavenly Sect today, there are few who dare to come up on the stage, only dare to preach in those rural villages and people, and they will always be punished, chased by the government all over the world, all of them are as embarrassed as lost dogs. ”
As the two spoke, they had unconsciously walked to the living room. Yan Ji saw that there was already a tall purple-clothed man sitting in the hall, and knowing that Uncle Chen's night had arrived, he stopped talking to Liu Lao, strode forward, and said, "Is this the deputy commander of the purple-clothed guard, Chen?
The tall man in purple stood up, a smile appeared on his white face, and he bowed deeply before he straightened up and said, "Uncle Chen, the lower official, I am really guilty of disturbing the little prince by visiting him." ”
Yan Ji waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, you just need to be clear." Aren't the purple guards walking around the world to catch disobedient Jianghu people? I'm a law-abiding good, and my subordinates are all working under my father and then lost their jobs, and now they are homeless and have defected to my people, and I don't know how to work for you. ”
"How could a lower official have such an idea?" Uncle Chen said at night, "The little prince is the king of a country, and his net worth and life are shared with Dayu, and he will definitely not do anything that violates discipline and law." What's more, even if the little prince commits something, it will not be my turn to be the deputy commander of the little purple-clothed guard to take charge. You have the 'Iron Coupon Danshu' given by Emperor Gaozu, even if the Son of Heaven condemns the crime, it can still be credited. ”
Yan Ji smiled: "Then what are you here for?"
Chen Shuye said: "I want to ask the little prince to help me track down someone." ”
Yan Yu asked, "Oh, who is it?"
Uncle Chen said: "It's a traitor." This thief's name is Su Liangjing, and it is rumored that he secretly colluded with the chaotic party and privately created many sharp weapons, which have been reported by those in the know and accepted by the lower officials. ”
Yan Yu said: "Then you led people to pursue this person, why did you come to my mansion? Could it be that you suspect that I harbored him?"
