18. Those people in Kyoto
In the middle of the night, I only heard a few muffled sounds of "boom", and the figures kept emerging, and it turned out that Niu Daoru was a little stupid and took Li Daozong and others to come out of the mysterious transmission formation and landed in a formation hall located in the Kyoto Heaven Survey Division.
In order to highlight the royal prestige, Emperor Taizu in the past year, he waved the royal pen and changed the word "city" on the plaque at the gate of the Kyoto City Patrol Division to the word "Tian" of the Son of Heaven.
It's just that the survey of the sky is located in the Gyeonggi region, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, is the world's all levels of the city patrol division of the exemplary place, so its responsibilities and rights are also a little bigger, the head of the survey of the sky is above the court of the Daxin Dynasty is a dignified court of the three grades, and also has the responsibility of the admiral of the nine gates of Kyoto, which can be a high position and power, which is far beyond the head of the five-grade patrol city patrol division in the locality.
Niu Daoru led a group of people to wait, and just fell to the ground and stood firm.
Niu Daoru saw that Yang Daoxiu, the head of the Heaven Survey Division, was sitting on a Taishi chair behind the bookcase, looking at his group with fine eyes, Niu Daoru's original expression was still a little stupid, and his face immediately became pleasant, but he was puzzled in his heart, and said secretly:
"When will Yang Daoxiu, the head of the Heaven Survey Division, also be on duty in the Array Pavilion, shouldn't he be on duty in the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion?"
Niu Daoru, although he was puzzled in his heart, he still took the lead in bowing to Yang Daoxiu with his fists and saluting:
"Lord Si Chief, he is still on duty in the Array Hall late at night, he is really dedicated to his duties, and he is really admirable for his humble duties. ”
Niu Daoru paused, and continued:
"The lowly post has returned from the starry night, and there are still important things to do, so I need to be anxious to the commander Zuo Shi Pei, and the humiliation will retire first. ”
"Hahaha, it turned out to be Lord Niu of Long Xiangwei's pacification, returning from the starry night, Lord Niu has worked hard!"
"It's just that during the day today, the "Ten Absolute Formations of Heaven and Earth" in Kangcheng was inexplicably activated, so the old man felt that the situation was serious, and in order to be precautionary, he came to this Cabinet today to guard it, and unexpectedly met Lord Niu ......... here. ”
Yang Daoxiu, who was still majestic a moment ago, was talking and laughing at this moment, but at the same time, he walked out from behind the bookcase without stopping, stretched out one hand to take one of Niu Daoru's hands, and then grabbed Niu Daoru's hand, looking very enthusiastic, and finally Yang Daoxiu walked out of the hall holding Niu Daoru hand in hand.
Niu Daoru was walked out of the hall arm in arm by Yang Daoxiu, a little involuntarily, but he couldn't say anything, although Yang Daoxiu's very enthusiastic behavior made him a little confused, but, after all, although Long Xiangwei and the Sky Survey Division are not subordinate to each other, but between the two, they can be regarded as sincere cooperation on weekdays, and they have jointly handled many important cases and iron cases, so the relationship between the two families is not bad.
It's just that Niu Daoru kept slandering in his heart:
"How can this Yang Daoxiu ever be so kind to himself on weekdays, what's wrong with today, why is he so close to me, does he know that I am a certain lady in the palace?"
That's why he was so pretending to flatter .......... ”
Niu Daoru seemed to feel that there was something wrong, but he didn't find out where the slightest inappropriateness was.
"Could it be that in the past two days, I have been too unlucky, so I have some cup bow and snake shadows?"
.....................
Yang Daoxiu was very familiar with Niu Daoru and escorted Niu Daoru out of the Formation Hall, along the way, Yang Daoxiu asked Niu Daoru about any trip to Kangcheng, but it was constantly greeting.
It wasn't until he got out of the gate of the hall of the Formation Hall that Yang Dao Xiu let go of his own hand holding Niu Daoru, stopped his steps, and arched his hand:
"Lord Niu, the old man still has to guard the Array Hall, and he has to do his job, so he can only send Lord Niu here......... ”
"He is a day of Lord Niu, one step closer, the old man will go to the house and Lord Niu to drink and talk, hahahaha. ”
Niu Daoru heard Yang Daoxiu say this, and the doubts in his heart just now were also a little relieved, and he said secretly:
"Sure enough, this Yang Daoxiu is really an old fox. ”
But Niu Daoru hurriedly thought of all the things about this trip to Kangcheng, and couldn't help but feel that he was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, but he had a hard time, and in the end, he also said a few more words to Yang Daoxiu, and then left the palace with Li Daozong and the others.
Yang Daoxiu stood in the thick darkness outside the Array Hall, watching Niu Daoru and his party slowly disappear into the distance, and the corners of his mouth curled, and a somewhat strange smile appeared on his face, and then Yang Daoxiu turned around, but did not enter the door of the Array Pivot Palace, but walked into the inky night on the side ...............of the Array Pivot Hall.
When he arrived at the Longxiang Palace, his subordinates went to arrange the whereabouts of Li Daozong, Gao Shuhan, and Tong Ziliang, but Niu Daoru went straight to the building where Long Xiangwei commanded Zuo Shi Pei Mingde.
Along the way, Niu Daoru looked worried, and he didn't notice that on the back of his dark cyan dragon and guard four-rank brocade robe, in the middle of the square unicorn pattern embroidered with gold threads, there seemed to be a few gold threads that squirmed imperceptibly.
Although Niu Daoru was far away in Kangcheng, he had already used Long Xiangwei's secret method to inform Long Xiangwei Zuo Shi Pei Mingde of the various situations in Kangcheng, and Long Xiangwei Zuo Commander Shi Pei Mingde only replied: "Everything is not mentioned, and when you return to Kyoto, he will make the decision." ”
Niu Daoru walked into the building with anxiety in his heart, in the lobby, only the dragon guard commanded Zuo Shi Pei Mingde to sit alone on a Taishi chair in the middle of the hall, Pei Mingde is seven feet tall, but not strong, a slightly pale face, full of yin owl color, when Niu Daoru walked into the lobby, Pei Mingde just tilted his head, turned sideways, and used his slender and slender fingers to play with the lid of a white porcelain tea bowl on the table next to him, quite rhythmic.
Niu Daoru saw Pei Mingde sitting on the Taishi chair from a distance, fiddling with the tea bowl, and knew that this was a move that Pei Mingde liked to do when he decided a big thing.
So Niu Daoru took three steps and made two steps from the door of the lobby, ran to Pei Mingde's five feet in front of him, and as soon as his knees were weak, he knelt in front of Pei Mingde, and raised his hands high, incites his cheeks incessantly, "snapping", but his mouth keeps saying:
"They are all subordinates, and they are not doing things well, so that Na Shen is not easy to get away, and if he wants to kill or chop, he will listen to the ......... of adults"
Niu Daoru was a little crying as he spoke.
"Okay, first present the bronze mirror to this seat, and after this seat looks at it, it is making a decision. ”
Niu Daoru immediately stopped crying, took out the bronze ancient mirror from his arms, knelt on the ground respectfully, held the bronze ancient mirror with both hands, and presented it to Pei Mingde, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair.
Pei Mingde took the bronze ancient mirror with one hand, got up from the chair, and didn't care about Niu Daoru who was kneeling on the ground, but just asked: "Niu Daoru, are you sure that all the pictures in the courtyard yesterday have been included in this ancient mirror?"
Niu Daoru nodded and said: "Subordinate, dare to use the head of the person on the item as a guarantee, and it has indeed been received." ”
Pei Mingde didn't say anything, he was about to take two steps forward, but found Niu Daoru kneeling in front of him, so he scolded in his mouth:
"Get out of the way",
Niu Daoru knelt on the ground with interest, walked forward on his knees, and made a way.
Although Niu Daoru was kneeling on the ground, his body was also constantly rotating with Pei Mingde's pace, so as to ensure that his eyes could look up to Pei Mingde at any time.
Pei Mingde, on the other hand, was looking at the bronze ancient mirror while walking around the lobby, as if he was thinking about something.
In the end, Pei Mingde stopped in the middle of the lobby, stood up, held his breath, made a decision, and pointed into a sword, and there was a purple light, which shot down from his fingertips and shot directly on the mirror surface of the bronze ancient mirror, and at the same time, Pei Mingde's mouth said with words:
"The mirror hangs high, the four seas are clear, the day of Renxu, the two hours of Tatsumi, and the ......... is quickly revealed. ”
The next moment, with a "boom", a huge light curtain poured out from the mirror surface of the bronze ancient mirror and shone directly on the roof of the lobby.
Pei Mingde and Niu Daoru both raised their heads and looked at where they were looking, but they were disappointed to find that there was nothing there, only mottled light and shadow.
Seeing the mottled light and shadow, there was nothing else, Niu Daoru's originally straight kneeling body also collapsed on the ground, his face was like ashes, his heart was turbulent, but his mouth kept wailing:
"My lord, this is not the case, I obviously saw that there are many pictures in the courtyard that have been absorbed by the bronze ancient mirror............"
Niu Daoru burst into tears again, walked forward on his knees, knelt in front of Pei Mingde, looked up at Pei Mingde miserably, and kept stating.
And Pei Mingde, the commander of the dragon guard, quickly waved his hand to stop Niu Daoru's words, and then Pei Mingde sighed meaningfully, and said with some meaning:
"I don't blame you, the bronze ancient mirror seems to have been disturbed by an extremely powerful magic weapon. ”
"Ah," Niu Daoru was a little confused.
"You step back first, and I'll go to the palace to face the saint. ”
When Niu Daoru heard this, although he was shocked again, he still got up from the ground with great interest, bowed to Pei Mingde, and then bowed like that, slowly retreating, until he exited the door of the lobby .......
Out of the building where Pei Mingde was, Niu Daoru walked through a few pavilions, walked through a few sections of bluestone paved passages, and finally walked to the long street outside the Longxiang Palace, standing on the long street where no one was, Niu Daoru first straightened his body, then opened his mouth wide, took a few deep breaths of cold air, and poured them all into his chest.
Then, after two breaths, I heard a "whew", and it turned out that Niu Daoru had poured the air into his chest just now, and spit it out for a long time, and then with some relief, he walked into the ......... of the inky night.
It's just that on Niu Daoru's back, in the middle of the golden unicorn pattern, there are a few golden silk threads wriggling, and then those wriggling silk threads fall off from the unicorn pattern, like catkins, in the inky night, there is no trace.
In the depths of the palace, Long Xiang Weizuo commanded Shi Pei Mingde, standing at the bottom of the main hall with a panicked face, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, but holding the bronze ancient mirror in his hand.
The middle-aged man smiled, sat on the dragon chair, looked down at the bronze ancient mirror in his hand, as if he was playing with an interesting object, but in his heart he secretly said:
"This thing is getting more and more interesting, this time even the "discerning" has been disturbed, what kind of magic weapon is that?"
"It's really surprising that a person who responds to the omen would lead to such a battle........."
