One hundred and forty chapters, canon
Eight days passed in a hurry, and the day of King Yu's accession to the throne finally arrived.
On this day, Wang Zixuan waited in the Heavenly Master Pavilion early, preparing to enter the palace with Lin Zheng.
Wang Zixuan was wearing a robe with gold stripes on a white background, standing there with his hands behind his back, with a pair of sword eyebrows and a proud and upright posture, as if Emperor Wu was there in person, heroic and extraordinary.
Lin Zheng was dressed relatively plainly, with a white robe and gray coat, and silver tracks tied around his waist, which did not look brilliant at first glance, but when he got closer, he could feel the dusty breath.
"If you want me to say why the Heavenly Master Pavilion has offended people so much in the past dynasties, on the day of great joy, wearing a white past, can you not offend people. Wang Zixuan felt that Lin Zheng was dressed too plainly, which could not reflect the prominent status of the Heavenly Master Pavilion, and complained that Lin Zheng was too low-key, but although he complained, the little stars in his eyes did not decrease at all.
"No matter how many people you offend, how many people have you offended Wang Zixuan? This golden thread is spreading, I thought you were going to ascend the throne and sit on the dragon chair. Lin Zheng glanced at Wang Zixuan, not with his general knowledge.
"The brighter he wears, the more reassuring he is, if he wears it more low-key than before, wouldn't it be obvious to tell him that I have a ghost in my heart?" Wang Zixuan raised his head and patted the fallen leaves on his sleeve, not allowing a little dirt on his body.
"That's right. Lin Zheng thought about it, felt that what Wang Zixuan said was reasonable, and didn't say much, and asked instead: "The rumors a few days ago said that there were thieves who entered the city to rob the prison, and now it is full of turmoil, why don't you suppress it?"
"This news, whether I press it or not, the Yu King knows that I am going to rob the prison, why bother with that effort, besides, this is the important day of the Yu King, how he doesn't want to make a fuss too ugly, naturally there will be arrangements, maybe the person has been washed and put outside the prison, waiting for me to pick it up." "Wang Zixuan doesn't care, what does he know? Why is he afraid of tearing his face with King Yu? When the time comes, it's a big deal to escape from the Zhou Dynasty with the Heavenly Master Pavilion, find a wild place to develop for three or five years, and it's not too late to kill back.
"Have you found out who released the news?" Lin Zheng continued to ask, he knew that Wang Zixuan had been investigating this matter recently.
"I found out, the news released by a news dealer, it seems that he has a tight mouth, and he has recruited everything when he is arrested and beaten, saying that there is an immortal who has come and gone without a trace to find him, and he didn't see who it was, but I think it is Zhao Mingcheng, the villain. ”
Wang Zixuan said with a smile, seeing that his light and breezy appearance did not regard Zhao Mingcheng as an opponent at all.
"Now that you know who it is, it's better to guard against it. Lin Zheng nodded, if it was Zhao Mingcheng alone, he really couldn't make any waves, but Li Jiunian behind him ......
Wang Zixuan looked at Lin Zheng's worried face, and immediately knew what Lin Zheng was thinking, and said comfortingly: "Tiannian don't worry, this matter must have been done secretly by Zhao Mingcheng himself, and there is no possibility of Li Jiunian's support behind him." Today is King Yu's big day, what is it to let me rob a prison in order not to mess up the ceremony, originally because of the loss of face, King Yu may not leave me the door, but now that this rumor has spread, it is not that I forced him, he naturally knows what to do, if Li Jiunian is really involved, how can he do such a stupid thing?"
"Then I'm relieved. After listening to what Wang Zixuan said, Lin Zheng also relaxed, since the situation is very good, he is not a person who likes to worry.
Seeing Lin Zheng put down his thoughts, Wang Zixuan greeted with a smile at the door, "Let's go quickly, the street is lively today, originally experienced waterlogging and the ban on the night, the people on this street are lifeless, and today it can be regarded as vitality." ”
The crowds of people on the streets are endless, the voices of people are boiling, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the red paper is pasted on the doors of every house, which is indeed very festive.
Wang Zixuan and Lin Zheng walked through the crowd, and several children even accidentally bumped into Wang Zixuan, leaving two snots on Wang Zixuan's body.
Seeing Wang Zixuan's embarrassment, Lin Zheng smiled without conscience, and the two of them did not embarrass these children, and walked to the palace under the continuous thanks of their parents.
"The Zhou Dynasty established a new emperor, and the people of the whole country were exempt from taxes for three years, so it is no wonder that it is so lively today. Lin Zheng and Wang Zixuan walked past a red whip, and the sound of crackling explosions was endless.
"This Yu Wang is a good man, Wudang Mountain has won a hundred battles against Chu and collected a lot of money, and he has won the Ruian Plain you have conquered, and he is still short of the tax money for these three years?" Wang Zixuan sneered, and sneered at the so-called emperor of Yu Wang, who can only use tax exemption to buy the hearts of the people, which is too mediocre.
Lin Zheng was noncommittal.
The two quickly walked through the sound of gongs and drums into the red wall.
"Lord Wang! Lord Lin!"
As soon as Lin Zheng Zixuan walked into the palace, he heard an excited shout coming from not far away, and the two of them followed the sound to see that it was the young boss of the Lantern Festival stall who raised his hand to greet the two.
"Lord Wang, Lord Lin. The young stall owner stepped forward and clenched his fists: "Do you two remember me?"
"The grace of rescue is unforgettable, and I naturally remember it. Lin Zheng also clenched his fists.
"What kind of rescue, the strength of the two adults is heavenly, where do you need me to rescue, I am ashamed to say that I have practiced martial arts for ten years, but I can't even beat the gatekeeper. The young stall owner bowed his head in embarrassment.
"Anyway, I wrote it down. Lin Zheng waved his hand.
"I didn't have time to tell you about the two adults last time, so I'll introduce you now. The young stall owner took two steps back: "In the Thousand Households of the Lower National Teacher's Mansion, Li Zhen." I've seen two adults. ”
"Eventful. Lin Zheng chuckled, Lin Zheng was not surprised to hear the three words of the National Teacher's Mansion Lin Zheng, the two had already known that Li Zhen was recruited by Li Jiunian, but now that Li Zhen is close to the two of them, is he worried about the old love, or is he having a plan?
"My lord, shall we go in together?" asked Li Zhen with a chuckle.
"Okay. Lin Zheng nodded, turned his head to look at Wang Zixuan, and the three of them walked into the palace side by side.
Not long after walking, Lin Zheng suddenly saw a familiar person in front of him leaning against the wall with a depressed face, so he quickly stepped forward and coughed lightly when he walked up to the figure.
"Ahem. Lin Zheng looked at Shen Yueting who didn't notice him lightly.
"Hmm, my lord!" Shen Yueting hurriedly bowed when he saw Lin Zheng.
"The food in Yuwang's Mansion is not delicious, it came out?" Lin Zheng couldn't help but chuckle and asked.
"Don't laugh at me, sir. Shen Yueting looked depressed: "I was in Yuwang's mansion, I was tied up in the firewood room every day, I was knocked unconscious and brought here, and I was told that it was the day when Yuwang ascended the throne as soon as I woke up......"
"Just come out. Lin Zheng turned his hands behind his back and continued to walk towards the palace: "I'll be relieved when I come out." ”
"My lord......" Shen Yueting stepped forward after Lin Zheng: "I didn't delay you in any big things, right?Or what conditions did you negotiate with King Yu? Otherwise, how could I be released?"
"Are you just worried about this?" Later, Wang Zixuan sneered and said: "How can Yuwang He De be able to negotiate conditions with us Lord Lin? It was he who confessed and let you out, don't think too much." ”
"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have Shen Yueting smiled wistfully, Lin Zheng was so kind to him that he even wanted to train him to be his successor, but not because of his bad deeds.
"Who is this?" Shen Yueting looked at Li Zhen beside Wang Zixuan.
"Thousands of households in the National Teacher's Mansion, Li Zhen. Li Zhen smiled and clenched his fists.
"Thousands of households in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Shen Yueting. Shen Yueting also clenched his fists politely, but in his heart, he was very puzzled why the people from the National Teacher's Mansion would walk with his own pavilion master?
"I've seen Brother Shen. "Li Zhen and Shen Yueting know each other.
Wang Zixuan stepped forward and came to Lin Zheng's side and whispered: "Since Shen Yueting has been released, and King Yu has also given enough sincerity, I will go to the prison to get people, and we can watch King Yu ascend the throne together in a while." ”
"It's better to be careful, maybe it's a smoke bomb released by the Feather King. After Lin Zheng admonished, he took Shen Yueting and Li Zhen towards the palace.
I met many familiar faces along the way, and they came up to say hello to Lin Zheng and talk a few words.
Lin Zheng never forgot it, these people all remembered their identities and names clearly, and it was not difficult to deal with them, chatting with officials from all walks of life all the way.
Behind him, Shen Yueting and Li Zhen were also chatting in private.
"It turns out that you and the Pavilion Master know each other like this. Shen Yueting listened to Li Zhen's story, and also understood why Li Zhen walked with his own pavilion master.
"Speaking of which, I did a lot of help, but I didn't expect Lord Lin and Wang Zixuan to be such big shots. Li Zhen laughed to himself.
"My pavilion master is very approachable, don't say you can't see it, even if I have been with our pavilion master for so long, if he wears clothes to catch the exam, I will also think that he is a scholar who is rushing to take the exam. Shen Yueting smacked his lips and began to praise Lin Zheng: "But don't look at the lack of momentum of our pavilion master now, when he commanded the army to conquer the Chu State and strategized in the big tent, I can't forget it until now." ”
"I've heard about Lord Lin's deeds. Li Zhen nodded: "But I heard that Lord Lin was captured by Kunlun later, how did he come down unharmed?"
"Safe and sound? Shen Yueting laughed twice: "What kind of character is our pavilion master, he has been taken to Kunlun Mountain several times, and they don't dare to slack off on our pavilion master in the slightest, and they also arranged for the senior sister among the outer disciples to take care of our pavilion master, to be the personal maid, to take care of our adults every day, I think our adults have gained two pounds when they go down the mountain." ”
"Such a powerful ......" Li Zhen was stunned, although he had heard about these things, he didn't expect the truth to be even more unimaginable than the rumors......
"That's not it, the Kunlun dog thieves take care of our pavilion master every day, and want to get something from our pavilion master, but it leads Lord Wang to lead an army of 700,000 to besiege Kunlun, and almost even the huge Kunlun Mountain is put into it. Shen Yueting became more and more energetic the more he spoke, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Lin Zheng looking at himself with gloomy eyes, and suddenly withered, drooping his head and not daring to say more.
Li Zhen smiled embarrassedly when he saw this, knowing that his identity was not good, he bowed to Lin Zheng and turned to leave.
