The tea smoke in the room is curling, and the aroma is refreshing.

Mo and Bao Ziyun were both sitting in the study, tasting the newly delivered melon slices from Lu'an Prefecture.

Bao Ziyun was full of praise and sycophancy: "Lord Demon, the things you have studied are really amazing. I got the news that nearly 20,000 people were killed in the bombing of Luoyang. ”

The demon sighed, "To be honest, I didn't expect this thing to really be so powerful. Bao Ziyun smiled flatteringly: "If the power is not great, how can we blow up the six prime ministers of the imperial history and the supervisors? Next, we have to think about how to blow up Dezong and let the saint kill Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi?"

The demon sighed, "No matter what, it is not my will to kill and injure so many people. ”

Bao Ziyun nodded and said, "The Demon Lord is kind-hearted, and there will be good rewards." We don't need this anymore. ”

The demon said lightly: "I'm afraid I will use it again." The Xianbei people poured the strength of the whole country into attacking the Tang Dynasty every year, and Hulan City bore the brunt of the war repeatedly. Take this time now, there are nearly 200,000 Xianbei elite soldiers and strong generals under Hulan City, if we give up Hulan City and lead Xianbei into the city, then what?"

Bao Ziyun didn't react for a while, he was stunned, and said, "Could it be that Lord Fei wants to introduce those 200,000 people into Hulan City and then detonate ......"

The demon nodded and said, "The Black Thunderbolt that I have developed with all my strength is already four times the gunpowder of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall. If it explodes after Xianbei enters the city, it is enough to annihilate the opponent's main force. At that time, the Tang army can drive straight into the area of Hohhot outside Hulan. ”

Bao Ziyun said happily: "The Demon Lord is so wise!"

The explosion of Princess Anle's mansion soon spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Suzong was furious and belittled Princess Anle to go to Ji'an.

This bizarre explosion caused more than 20,000 deaths and injuries near Shendu, more than half of the houses in Luoyang collapsed, and even the Shangshu and Shangqing Palace were greatly shaken.

Incredibly, although there was gunpowder in the Anle Mansion, its power was far from enough to cause such damage.

The emperor was furious, and this time the early dynasty mentioned the five watches from dawn.

Su Zong asked, "Who is in charge of Princess Anle's mansion, and who is Jin Wuwei?"

Li Guangbi stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, more than 100 Jin Wuwei who were guarding the Anle Mansion have been killed on the spot. ”

Su Zong frowned and said, "Wouldn't there be no one to be held accountable?"

Guo Ziyi walked out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is not true. The minister knew who to be consulted about the matter. ”

Emperor Suzong hurriedly said: "Quick, quick!"

Guo Ziyi said: "The catastrophe of Princess Anle's mansion this time is unprecedented. The people of Luoyang suffered heavy casualties, the houses collapsed, and even Kaifeng City was shaken. The minister thought that the gunpowder of Anle Mansion alone was not enough to cause such damage. ”

Bao Ziyun's body trembled, and his forehead immediately saw sweat, but Emperor Suzong's eyes lit up: "You're fast, what's going on?"

Guo Ziyi paused and said loudly: "After this disaster, the government and the opposition were shocked, the whole country was shocked, and the people were panicked. Your Majesty, Wei Chen has the courage to say a word, today's court program is politically unclear, eunuchs dictatorship, loyalty and treachery, such a catastrophe, the internal affairs government must bear great responsibility!"

The hall was silent for a while. The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to talk. Although Emperor Suzong is mediocre but not incompetent, it really takes a lot of courage to criticize the Internal Affairs Office in public in this Jinluan Palace.

Only Guo Ziyi, a veteran minister of the Three Dynasties, and a person in the military merit world can come out.

Bao Ziyun, who was standing on the side, saw that the emperor's face was extremely ugly, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't have to take this to heart, Prime Minister. The prime minister's words are very generous, and he seems to be loyal to the court, but he is actually selfish. ”

Su Zong turned his head and asked, "Manager Bao, if you have something to say, you might as well be straight, you don't have to babble." ”

Bao Ziyun said: "Princess Anle's gunpowder is provided to the army stationed in Luoyang. As far as the minions know, the army guarding Luoyang is led by Li Jie, a general under Lord Li. And the logistics of the garrison army have always been personally responsible for Lord Li. From this point of view, it seems that Lord Li should bear some responsibility for this explosion! But Lord Li actually pushed the matter to the Holy Lord!"

Emperor Suzong knew very well in his heart that Bao Ziyun was a strong word, and Li Guangbi was the leader of military merit and was cautious in his work, how could he take the mercy in his hands.

Moreover, the duty of the guard was originally Jin Wuwei, the commander of the criminal department, and he couldn't hang up with General Zhenxi, and Shuo Fang Jiedu made it here, which was obviously provoking!

But his face was a little embarrassed, and after listening to Bao Ziyun's words, he immediately relieved his embarrassment.

In this way, how can the military leader work for himself, and now it is only safe near the divine capital, Jiannan, Hebei, and Hulan are still under siege, and the rebels have not yet been cleaned up, and there is a possibility of resurgence at any time, Bao Ziyun's words are equivalent to sending his own neck up, although it is not a pity to die, but the eunuch cannot continue to listen.

After thinking for a moment, he said angrily: "Okay, you Baoziyun, you dare to shirk your responsibilities and plant blame." Come on, put the bun cloud heavy staff fifty, beat!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were smiling, starting from Yu Chaoen, the eunuchs were in power, and the harm was serious, these eunuchs had no morals, and their psychology was extremely dark, and they were exactly what everyone shouted and beaten.

Although Tang Suzong cleaned up like this, he had already made the ministers dissatisfied, and the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office interfered in state affairs, and they should have been killed, but they quietly let go of the pavilion staff, how to discuss politics if they continue like this.

Before the ministers had time to look at each other, Su Zong turned his face, his face was deep, "Xuan, Li Guangbi's poor maintenance has led to serious casualties among the people, and it is even more irresponsible to guard the gods.

Seeing that a guard walked up and took off Li Guangbi's crown and official robe, the two guards had already lifted him up, and he was about to be dragged out.

Emperor Suzong gritted his teeth and scolded: "Beheaded, beheaded!" Seeing that the ministers had the intention of pleading, he shouted again: "Whoever dares to speak for him, I will kill them together!"

Suddenly, one of the courtiers walked out, and it was Prime Minister Guo Ziyi. He took off his official hat and put it on the ground, then kowtowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please allow the ministers to return to their hometowns." ”

Bao Ziyun was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to call a "quasi-performance" for the emperor. Emperor Suzong was stunned.

Guo Ziyi stepped forward, took off his crown, knelt down and said: "The minister is not talented, ask the emperor to allow the old minister to return to his hometown." ”

Guo Ziyi is the leader of the military merit party, and as soon as he knelt down like this, the ministers of military merit in the DPRK and China knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Ask the Holy Lord to allow the old minister to return to his hometown!"

Before Suzong could react, many old ministers of the three dynasties and the second dynasty also knelt down, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty actually knelt down more than half.

Some people are wise enough to protect themselves and never participate in partisan disputes, but at present, if Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others are not in the court, the rebels will rise, and kneeling down to resign will only block the rebels.

Bao Ziyun also had dealings with the ministers of the DPRK and China, but after all, the friendship was shallow and the power was weak, although these people stood at the end, but seeing that the ministers were all kneeling, only standing by themselves, it was extremely abrupt.

The heart said: "I have stabbed a catastrophe this time, this capital crime is bypassed, and the living crime is inevitable."

Su Zong was stunned on the spot.

If the whole court is up and down, no one stands, if he insists on killing Li Guangbi, will he really let all the ministers of the whole dynasty go home? Bao Ziyun was also stunned, but then fanned the flames and said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Holy Lord, you have also seen that Lord Li can pour the power of the entire court against you, and of course he can also design a big explosion in the Anle Mansion, killing the crown prince and plotting to usurp the throne!"

Li Guangbi didn't raise his head, glanced at Bao Ziyun and said: "I'm afraid that those who are plotting to usurp the throne will make the Internal Affairs Office! I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but the eunuchs are in power, and the jackals are in charge." The crown prince and Bao Ziyun have always been at odds, and according to the old ministers, it was Bao Ziyun who killed the prince!"

The upward atmosphere is tense. Although Emperor Suzong's power is not shocking, he is well versed in the way of employing people, Bao Ziyun is just a chess piece for himself, how can he lead the army to fight, he naturally knows that the duel in front of him involves the two major factions of the imperial court, if it is not handled properly, the country will be in turmoil.

After sitting for a while, he immediately laughed and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, you all misunderstood. Yes, after the haunting at night, I did let the prince out of the palace to avoid trouble, but the second prince was ill and could not leave the East Palace. Therefore, although the prince was frightened by the big explosion this time, he was not injured at all. Ladies and gentlemen, you are also thinking about the community, and if there is a misunderstanding, I will not investigate your crimes. Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi, your words are not unreasonable, and I will issue an 'edict of guilt' and confess my guilt to my subjects. ”

When Bao Ziyun heard the news that the prince was unharmed, his face changed greatly, and then he heard that the emperor agreed with Guo Ziyi's law, and he didn't know what to do.

Su Zong's face sank, and he said, "Li Guangbi, you are guilty of bullying the king." The death penalty can be avoided, but the living sin is unforgivable, and now you are removed from all official positions, and you will reflect at home for three months. Three months later, the official was reinstated. ”

If someone comes, pack Ziyun first, and then punish Li Guangbi.

Luoyang is dilapidated and has a Wenxin wine shop.

Chu Qiuyan hasn't been here for a long time, but fortunately, there is no theft at the feet of Zizi, although there is no one, but the dust is very large, and nothing is lost.

Luo Bing helped, Chu Qiuyan cleaned the inside of the wine shop very cleanly, and resumed the momentum of pulling wine from the Internal Affairs Office to drink at the beginning of the curtain.

He found a few jars of good wine from the dust, but Luo Bing was very happy, and he didn't know how to find a few handfuls of peanuts from the cloth bag, washed them with well water, and took two jars of wine and Mei Changqing to drink.

Luo Bing's eyes widened: "Your shocking explosion has something to do with demons?"

Mei Changqing nodded and said, "Not bad." Whether or not it was done by the devil, I can't say for sure. But I have a rumor that this matter definitely has something to do with demons. ”

Chu Qiuyan didn't believe it, and shook his head again and again: "I can't believe it, this is made by people." “

Luo Bing also groaned: "This kind of explosive power can be called a change of color. Even if the devil has the means to do it, how can he make such a shocking change?"

Mei Changqing shook her head and said, "This is not clear. According to the study, the three prince's teachers all died in the explosion. Liu Kewei, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, assisted the prince not long ago, and was seriously injured in the explosion, and his arms were blown away. The princelings, Yu Shi Xiao Yu and Yun Yi, who were important in the princelings, were also shocked to death at home. Even according to the crown prince of the current dynasty, the explosion was killed, and Emperor Zheng wanted to get rid of these many people, how much effort would it take? I've vaguely heard the demon mention this matter, and I've asked you to be on guard. ”

Luo Bing's face changed greatly: "I understand." The three protectors of the Demon Sect, who were already dead and wounded, were sent due to lack of combat effectiveness, it seems that this is just a ploy to divert the tiger from the mountain, in addition to the three people who are supported, there are also the real Chenzhou Yan brothers who went to Princess Anle's mansion and arranged the explosion. ”

Chu Qiuyan suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder those people brought so little gunpowder." ”

Luo Bing tilted his head down on the wine in the bowl, slapped the table and said, "The demon has committed such a heinous act, I must take his life!"

Mei Changqing smiled faintly: "You don't know who he is." Demons are actually very attractive and heartbreaking. If you get along with him for a while, I'm afraid that you will have to let him go like you did with Ouyang Qing. ”

Luo Bing shook his head and said: "I didn't know how to pay it back in the past, but now that I know that the demon is so ruthless, how can I let him go?" Okay, I make an oath that if I let him go in the future, I will die at the hands of my best friend!"

Mei Changqing laughed and said, "This oath is cleverly established. How could I kill you? Chu Qiuyan also pursed his lips and smiled.

Luo Bing didn't smile and said, "Since we have decided to deal with the demon, I think we still have to recognize his identity as soon as possible." ”

Mei Changqing raised her neck and took a sip of wine, "What do you think?"

Luo Bing said: "The Demon Sect's several protectors are all waste, more than ten years ago, when Tiemoller was still alive, but the rumors are extremely powerful. But now with you, Chu Qiushui, Lu Changfeng, etc., these people can't make much waves. The demon is a shrewd person, but such an important thing as bombing Luoyang does not rely on you and Ouyang Qing, but asks the Demon Sect Protector to do it. What's that?"

Mei Changqing nodded and said, "Yes, in the eyes of the Devil, the Demon Sect Protector is more reliable than us. ”

Luo Bing said: "And the demon found a few people who broke his imagination from somewhere. The Demon Protector has always been short-tempered and does all kinds of evil, even Dugu Linglong couldn't manage them well before, and the demon also gave them enough trust. In this way, there is only one explanation. ”

Chu Qiuyan asked, "What is it?"

Luo Bing said word by word: "The identity of the demon." ”

Luo Bing nodded and said, "Demon, it must be the former Demon Sect Leader Dugu Linglong." ”

Mei Changqing blinked and said, "Didn't Dugu Linglong and Tiemoller die together?"

Luo Bing shook his head and said, "Dugu Linglong lost to Tiemoller, but disappeared from then on. All the martial arts people present at that time also died tragically. It stands to reason that Dugu Linglong defeated Tiemoller, and the prestige should be unmatched, how could he escape instead?"

Mei Changqing was even more puzzled and puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Luo Bing said in a deep voice: "My master had a fight with Dugu Linglong back then, his martial arts are only extremely high, far from being super-first-class, and it is difficult to make a hundred moves in the hands of Tiemoller." It seems that he used some strange method, even sneak attack, poisoning, attacking, etc., to kill Temol. Because of the lips, he will not let go of any person. The Demon Sect has not behaved well, and Temol died at their hands, if the Demon is Dugu Linglong, then it is normal to cover his face. The magic martial arts are powerful, but they can't do it for the time being, it seems that they are practicing some strange martial arts, which is also in line with Dugu Linglong. And the Demon Sect Protector is unruly and obedient to this Demon Sect, if it weren't for the Demon Sect Leader, how could he do it?"

Chu Qiuyan stretched his waist and said, "It seems to make sense." ”

Suddenly, a minot of silver flew in from outside and landed on the table.

A few people turned around, and a few big men stood at the door, and they took the lead: "This restaurant has been contracted, take the silver, let's go." ”

Luo Bing glanced at it, and sure enough, everyone had ingots of silver on the table, and couldn't help but wonder: "This person's secret weapon kung fu is okay." ”

Chu Qiuyan pursed his lips and didn't want to work anymore, but Mei Changqing and Luo Bing both knew that the most taboo thing in walking the rivers and lakes was to carry trees everywhere

The origin of these people is unknown, although they are a little overbearing, but they finally gave compensation, and they all stood up at the moment.

But when I heard the "whoosh" sound, an extremely strong suction force was released, sucking away the ingot of silver on the table. Luo Bing was startled, only to see that all the silver ingots flew out of the window under the traction of the strange suction. Others couldn't see the reason, but Luo Bing and Rong Ku could see at a glance that this was a very clever internal skill. The two glanced at each other, and Rong Ku whispered, "It seems to be the person in the corner." ”

Luo Bing glanced at the man, dressed in white, with his back to him, and did not see his face.

The big man at the door shouted angrily: "Which beast is making trouble? Don't die? I don't know if we are the people in charge of the big inner package?"

Originally, there were many people in the restaurant, but when they saw the silver flying, they naturally wouldn't leave. But as soon as they heard "Ouchi", they were shocked and ran out of the restaurant one after another.

For a while, there was only one table left in the huge restaurant, Luo Bing, and the mysterious man in white.

Luo Bing lowered his throat and said, "It seems that the man in white did it." This person doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend, his martial arts are extremely powerful, and his heart is the best. ”

Chu Qiuyan said: "It seems that when I look at that person, I always have some feeling of aura. It's not bad to be indefinite. ”

A few people in Ouchi saw that Luo Bing and his party had already stood up, and if there was no accident, they should have left a long time ago, but now although they are sitting quietly, they are only greedy for money.

When a few people thought about it, it was still the man in white in the corner who was the most suspicious. The first one scolded: "That sneaky son, did you move Lao Tzu's silver?"

The man stood up, turned around and said lightly, "It's me." "This sound, Luo Bing and Chu Qiuyan all recognized the person, Chu Qiushui!

Seeing that Chu Qiushui's white clothes were not stained with dust, his face was as white as jade, and his waist was hung with jade pendants, he was clearly dressed as a noble son, even if it was the son of a high-ranking official, his tone was a little less domineering: "I am the subordinate of the chief manager of Da Neibao, dare to ask where Your Excellency came from?"

Chu Qiushui said coldly: "I have some things to solve here, you all go, I don't want to make a move." A few people were still thinking about talking, Chu Qiushui picked up the wine glass, twisted it gently, and the wine glass turned into powder and fluttered down.

The man's face changed a few times, and he hurriedly retreated, saying as he walked: "Don't be crazy, Lord Ouyang, the deputy secretary of Dali Temple, has followed Ouchi, whoever dares to be an enemy of Ouchi is ...... Ahh

When Chu Qiuyan saw Chu Qiushui, he was originally overjoyed, but now he hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to step forward. Luo Bing said with a smile: "Brother Shui, Chu Qiuyan is not dead, you and I should not come again if you misunderstand, I toast you, I wish you brothers and sisters to recognize each other!"

Chu Qiushui didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "Chu Qiuyan, come here." Chu Qiuyan's face flashed with joy, and then he hesitated. The rough Chu Qiushui that day disappointed Chu Qiuyan, if he walked over now, who knows what will happen in the future? But if he stays here, he is afraid that Chu Qiushui will be too careful.

Luo Bing saw the embarrassment and said with a smile: "Sister Yan, you go to Brother Shui's side." We have something to do, and it's dangerous. Mei Changqing hesitated: "We don't have enough manpower, it's better to let Chu Qiushui join the ......" Chu Qiushui said coldly: "I will deal with the demon." We have our own plans, so we don't have to disturb each other. ”

Luo Bing smiled slowly: "You two have gone through all the calamities, and you finally recognize each other as brother and sister. Born in troubled times, this is very good!" Chu Qiuyan's face was flushed, but Chu Qiushui said: "I have my own plans." ”

Luo Bing shook his head and said, "I know you have prejudices against me. But there is no selfishness between me and Chu Qiuyan, and the sun and the moon can be seen. Now the magic is great, and it ignites gunpowder in Luoyang, killing and injuring nearly 20,000 people. Chu Qiushui, you have done the marriage first, and we will deal with the demons together in the future. ”

Chu Qiu's water surface was cold and hot, and after listening to Luo Bing's kind words and persuasion, it was not easy to refuse for a while, and he thought about it: "That's it." With a wave of his hand, he was able to release his suspicions. The four of them walked together to the outside of Luoyang.

When Luo Bing saw Chu Qiuyan and Chu Qiushui, he vomited happily in the past, and his heart was happy, so he brought two large jars of wine from the wine shop, ready to drink in the wilderness outside the city.

The four of them stepped quickly, although Luoyang was big, but it had already gone out of the city in the blink of an eye. The bright morning sun makes people look at it and feel happy.

Chu Qiushui saw Chu Qiuyan again, although his expression was calm, his heart was infinitely happy, and said: "What a scene! I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful scenery outside Luoyang." ”

Luo Bing said with a smile: "To tell the truth, Lu Changfeng is recovering his martial arts and recuperating from his injuries, and the only ones who can fight against the demon for the time being are me and Mei Changqing." Add in the strength of your brothers and sisters, and the odds are much greater. To fight against the demon, it still takes Lu Changfeng, he is delicate and meticulous, he is the devil's good opponent, and after this battle, Lu Changfeng's martial arts are also higher. ”

Chu Qiushui said: "I have seen and heard of the demon, there is not much evidence that can catch him doing evil, but the gods have exploded and killed so much, he can't get rid of the ...... no matter what."

Mei Changqing waved his hand and said: "I sneaked into the demon's side, nothing else, just this shocking explosion in Luoyang is related to the demon." When Chu Qiushui heard this, his brows furrowed, and he didn't say anything more.
