The rain was still falling.

Jiang Jin Wine, this is an ordinary tavern in Jiangzhou City, the decoration is ordinary, the boss is ordinary, and the guests who come and go are also ordinary, the only thing that is not ordinary is this wine, their wine is added to the barnyard in the process of brewing.

This weed is a weed that grows with rice, the farmers hate it to the bone, and they get rid of it when they see it, but the boss of Jiang Jin Liquor is unique, buys the weeds from the farmers at a low price, and comes back to make the weeds wine, but it is more mellow and fragrant than the wine made from ordinary rice, and is regarded as a treasure by the people of Jiangcheng, even if they leave their hometown for many years, they can't let go of this sip of wine, and the name of the tavern also comes from this, which means that people who come and go in Jiangcheng must enter the tavern.

"Boss, jug wine. A big man dressed in a cloak walked in, this man had a dark face, a hint of haggard in his expression, his body was still strong, his eyes were blank, his age was about fifty, under the robe, there was a goose feather knife on his waist, and the rain slid down the dragon pattern on the scabbard.

The Yanling knife is a saber, and it is also common in the hands of soldiers, but this scabbard is by no means ordinary, the scabbard made of stainless steel is inlaid with a circle of gold wire, and a lifelike, long and winged golden dragon is coiled around the scabbard from the bottom to the top, a person who looks so ordinary, but carries such a swaggering knife, every passerby can't help but look twice.

"Isn't this Gui Da Da?" the boss greeted with a smile, "It's still the same today, your wine has been prepared for you in advance, otherwise this situation will have already been sold out." ”

"Thank you boss, the money is booked first. The big man picked up the full flask, turned and left.

"Hey, this is an adult who keeps accounts every time, and if this guest is like him, should our small shop be opened. A shopkeeper muttered.

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense. The shopkeeper threw a rag in the shopkeeper's face, "Have you time to talk nonsense, are you done?" The boss looked at the back of the big man and sighed.

The big man took a wine jug and a sip of the cow, looking at the crowded market, and couldn't help but fall into memory......

Inside the Imperial Dragon Guard of the Southern Han Dynasty.

"Return to the commander, here is a thousand taels of gold, the old man said, return to the lord to serve the country, serve the emperor day and night, hard work and high achievement, this point, please smile. A eunuch smiled flatteringly, and sitting in front of him was the commander of the Southern Han Kingdom's Imperial Dragon Guard-Gui Lizheng.

"As the Son of Heaven's pro-army, the commander of the Imperial Dragon Guard, and loyal to the country, it is a matter of duty, why is it hard, Lord Taiwei's mind, I am afraid that I will be ashamed of it, and I ask the prince to take it back. Gui Lizheng didn't look at the gold with his eyes, but just looked at the eunuch and continued: "On the contrary, it is the prince of the prince, you are a close minister of the Son of Heaven, how can you become the mouthpiece of this foreign minister, if this reaches the ears of the emperor, I am afraid it will not be good." ”

The eunuch was shocked, the panic in his eyes flashed, and he smiled stiffly: "Haha, Lord Gui is serious, the old slave just looks at the hard work of Lord Gui for the country, and the Taiwei is sympathetic to the people who serve the emperor day and night around me, and he is bent on seeking talent, and passing a word on behalf of the middle, I have no contact with the Taiwei himself, don't misunderstand Lord Gui." ”

"Then you have nothing else to do, just leave on your own, I have to go to the school to review, so I won't accompany you. After speaking, Gui Lizheng walked out of the guard without looking back.

"Phew. The eunuch spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground viciously, "If it weren't for the fact that the Taiwei valued you and returned to the government of Li, you would not be so idle, how could the old slave suffer from you, you wait, there will be a time for you to suffer." ”

Guilizheng has never taken these eunuchs and villains in his eyes, and this matter has passed, and he has left it behind, but he doesn't know that in this world, he has always preferred to offend the gentleman rather than the villain.

To say that the Southern Han Kingdom since the Hanning War, the national strength was damaged, by paying the annual currency to the Beining State, open to trade, but also after more than 20 years of peace, after the Ming Emperor succeeded to the throne, with the assistance of the ministers Cao Xiangui and Chen Jing, but also slowly recovered the national strength and military strength, most of the power of the Southern Han Kingdom is in the hands of these two people, and even the Son of Heaven's pro-army - the four guards of the forbidden army are mostly in the hands of the ministers, only the first number of the Imperial Dragon Guard is in charge of the government, loyal to the Ming Emperor, and when the Ming Emperor is still in Luzhou to be the prince of leisure, he is often accompanied. Later, the prince became the emperor, and Gui Lizheng was also promoted to the head of the four guards of the forbidden army of the Southern Han Dynasty, the commander of the imperial dragon guard, under the jurisdiction of fifty battalions of soldiers and horses, a total of 25,000 people, half of the elite in Beijing, all under control. is such a high and powerful person, and he is a person around Emperor Ming, so he has naturally become a person who is attracted by all forces.

This Southern Han Dynasty court, since the Hanning War, has also turned the world upside down. The right prime minister Chen Jing united with the forbidden army to command Cao Xiangui, abolished the young emperor, killed all the people who calamified the country, and welcomed the Ming Emperor to succeed to the throne. With the passage of time, the two Chen Cao gradually had a disagreement due to power disputes.

And with the open and secret struggle between the two, the courtiers also stood in line, and this Gui Lizheng had a heavy army, but he was only loyal to Emperor Ming, but became the maverick one.

The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.

"Return to the commander, the emperor was assassinated in the imperial garden to enjoy the moon, please go quickly. A deputy commander of the Dragon Guard rushed into the guard in a panic.

"What! Today is the rotation of Long Xiangwei, and Chen Nahai, the commander of Long Xiangwei?"

"My subordinates don't know. ”

"Gather a battalion of men and horses, and follow me. "The case was taken by the courtesy government.

"Yes!"

Gui Lizheng took a battalion of soldiers and horses and hurried to the Imperial Garden, only to see that there was no one on duty outside the Imperial Garden, which was suspicious, but where did he take care of so much, the emperor's safety was already in a hurry, and he immediately led people to rush into the Imperial Garden.

The grass was lonely, the night was dark, and under the moonlight, I saw a person in a fancy dress lying quietly on the ground, and a few attendants lying on the side. Gui Lizheng jumped forward, took the lead in rushing to the side of the person in the Chinese costume, helped him up and looked at it, it was actually Emperor Ming's favorite concubine, and she had already died.

"Give me a search around, hunt down the Assassins, and find the Emperor. ”

"Yes!" the capable dragon guards quickly dispersed.

"Come on, surround me with all the people here. Suddenly, a low male voice came, and a group of red-armored guards came out of nowhere and surrounded Gui Lizheng and the others.

"Lord Cao, what does this mean?" Gui Lizheng saw through the moonlight that it was his immediate boss, the Tai Lieutenant and the Forbidden Army, who were all in charge of Cao Xiangui.

"Hmph, the Imperial Concubine Imperial Garden was assassinated, and the Imperial Dragon Guard was not well protected, so I will take it all down. Cao Xiangui sneered.

"Slow, today is the rotation of the dragon guard, I waited for the report of the assassination of the emperor's imperial garden, and I just came, Lord Cao, don't wronged us. Gui Lizheng touched the Yanling knife on his waist.

"Today, the emperor accompanied the queen mother on patrol, Long Xiangwei has been out of the palace with him, I have informed Lord Cao of this matter, Lord Cao specially arranged for the temporary rotation of the Royal Dragon Guard, you pretend not to know. At this time, a sour voice came from behind Cao Xiangui, and it turned out to be the eunuch Wang Gonggong.

After hearing this, Gui Lizheng turned to look behind him, his deputy commander had long since disappeared, at this time, he knew that he had been on Cao Xiangui's time, and thought in his heart: "Now that the emperor is on patrol, he is already a person in the bureau, and he can't argue, and now he has this small way, how can he let me go, it is better to break out and think about it in the long run, but it must be a loss of the emperor's grace." Thinking of this, Gui Lizheng has secretly made up his mind to break through, although he is indignant at this moment, he also knows that the current situation is dangerous, and he will be in a different place if he has a slight mistake. Although he is in the forbidden army and even in the Beijing Division, there are few opponents in martial arts, but the hundreds of red-armored guards around him are all elite soldiers of the Taiwei Mansion, and they are all good hands in a million, and they can't gain the upper hand when they fight, and they can't have the upper hand.

At this moment, although there were hundreds of people on both sides of the Imperial Dragon Guard and the Taiwei Mansion in the Imperial Garden, they could only hear the frogs in the pond and the insects in the grass.

"Don't make a move!" Gui Lizheng shouted, Yanling's knife had been shot, and the person and the knife turned into a silver light in the moonlight, and went straight to Cao Taiwei, capturing the thief and capturing the king first, he knew that if the dragon guard shot at this moment, his chances of escape would definitely be doubled, but in this way, the rebellion of this group of brothers was confirmed, and now that he was calculated, how could he affect his brothers again!

This Lord Taiwei still stood still in place, I don't know if he didn't expect it, or he was stupid, the red-armored guard beside him couldn't react, and he saw that the blade was pointing, and it was close at hand. Suddenly, Taiwei Cao's eyes were shining, his hands were behind his back, and with a slight tiptoe on one foot, his figure had already floated backwards, and the blade of Gui Lizheng could take his head at the slightest moment.

Suddenly, Gui Lizheng struck out a palm with his left hand, the palm wind actually came first, strong and powerful, roaring, Cao Taiwei was shocked, he knew that this Gui Lizheng was not a general, if he dodged this palm, his body shape would change, so he would be completely shrouded in the move of his right hand Yanling knife, and fell into passivity, Gui Lizheng's knife technique was domineering and strong, if he was entangled, although his own skills were above it, he would inevitably lose both.

Although Gui Lizheng usually uses a knife, but others only know that his knife is domineering, and he can control the enemy, who knows that his palm is more above the knife technique, and he can break the gold stone with one palm, and he has practiced a foreign kung fu to his job, whether it is in the army or on the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to meet the opponent. Fighting with Captain Cao today, he also knew that if he didn't defeat the enemy with one blow, he would be entangled by many armor soldiers, and it would be difficult to get out, so he didn't have any reservations when he made a move, and his sword and palm came out together.

As long as he hits Cao Xiangui, Gui Lizheng can take advantage of the rest of the armor to fly over the palace wall and escape.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, and I saw that both of them had stopped and stood in place.

Cao Taiwei's figure shook twice, he actually used his flesh and blood to take the palm of Gui Lizheng, at the same time as taking the palm, both hands have made a move, the left hand turned into a finger, but it is a light buckle of Gui Lizheng's wrist, a blow, Yan Ling knife, has flown ten zhang away. The right hand turned into a fist and hit Gui Lizheng on the chest heavily, but in the eyes of others, it was impossible to see who lost and who won.

"Golden ...... Golden bell jar. Gui Lizheng's throat was sweet, his eyes were black, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he knelt on one knee, unable to stand.

"Gui Lord, I advise you to lay down your weapons and tie your hands down, and I will find out what happened today, and I will not hurt your life. Cao Xiangui said.

The matter has come to this point, no matter how stubborn the resistance is, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed, and the people of Guili Zheng have no choice but to put down their weapons, and the red-armored guards around them swarmed up, and tied up the people of the Dragon Guard.

"Hmph, this time it's up to you to turn over, Princess, you did a good job this time, you can get the reward. Cao Xiangui said as he made a color to the armor soldier beside him.

"Captain Xie!"

......

"Boom. There was a muffled sound, as if something had been thrown into the pond of the Imperial Garden.

"My lord, why don't you take your life? ”

"This Guili Zheng is the emperor's cronies, it really touches his life, the emperor is not easy to explain when he comes back, I'm afraid that I will make a wedding dress for others at that time, do you really think that this royal eunuch is dedicated to doing things for me?"

"My lord is far-sighted, and my subordinates can't do it, but how to deal with this case?"

"The trial will be concluded before the emperor comes back, the people of this imperial dragon guard, take this opportunity to knock and beat them, and there will be no need to punish them heavily, as for the return of the government, on the basis of dereliction of duty, let him go to Jiangzhou to be a commander, it is not a grievance against him, the case of the assassination of the concubine, let the eunuch Wang who fell into the water take it, and this imperial dragon guard commander, you will temporarily replace it." ”

"Cultivation by Lord Xie".

As the moon cleared, the Imperial Garden returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

...... "Dad." A young man's shout woke Gui Lizheng from his memory.

"It turned out to be Ming'er. ”

"Dad, why are you drinking alone, let's go to the Flower Language Pavilion to drink a pot, I heard that the new top Yan Qiu'er girl, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, song and dance, everything is a must!" This young man looks like a crown of jade, looks like fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is like an adult who is nostalgic for the place of fireworks.

"I think you're trying to find someone to pay you off, bastard. ”

"Hahaha, are we going to calculate it so clearly. ”

"Uh, don't let your mother know......"

"Then Dad, don't talk about it, my little sister knows that she has to talk about me, I'm afraid of her. ”

"Hey, Guiming, are you afraid of me?" The father and son were about to walk towards the Flower Language Pavilion, Guiming heard the voice he didn't want to hear, turned around and looked, only to see a young girl, dressed in purple, her shirt fluttering in the spring breeze, her thin figure, holding an oil umbrella in both hands, a person in the painting, no, the person in the painting seemed to be angry, standing behind him with a puff.

"Ah...... Sisi, I didn't say anything, I came to call my father to go home for dinner, my father and your mother called you home for dinner, no, it was my mother who called you home for dinner......" Gui Ming touched the back of his head, as if a child who was caught stealing candy and eating was at a loss.

"Poof......" A burst of laughter came from the side.

"Hey, Feiyan, why are you there...... What a coincidence. ”

"Haha, my eldest brother is chasing the little Feiyan I want to catch me stewed and eaten, I just happened to meet Sisi, so I came with her to look for you, you also know, Sisi, a weak female stream, will be dangerous when she goes out, I can protect her. It turned out that the person who was laughing was none other than Yu Feiyan, who was holding the little fragrant pig.

"Hmph, Feiyan, aren't you a weak female streamer, how can you protect me, rely on the pig in your hand. Sisi's pursed mouth hadn't been withdrawn yet.

"Of course I can't count it, I'm the number one woman in Jiangzhou City. ”

"I'm afraid you're the only one who thinks so. ”

Two cute girls actually fought in the street, and then turned around, Gui Ming had disappeared, leaving a half-drunk old Gui, he had always slipped away in this situation, his own little sister was enough for him to bear, plus a little sister of the Yu family, and then stay, I am afraid that the dream at night is this chirping sound.

"Sisi, let's stop bickering, your brother is gone, go chase ......"

The palace wall is deeply locked in spring and autumn, and the lover is waiting for you to come.

The rain seems to be stopping.
