This day is a certain day in the spring of the fourteenth year of the Apocalypse, in May.

In the evening, Chang'an City suddenly thundered, as if Lei Cheng was beating his drum angrily.

The heavy thunder could be said to be getting louder and louder, and the blue electric fire pierced through the white clouds, falling from the sky, flickering wildly in Chang'an City.

The rain was like "the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky", like a whip violently whipping the ground, rolling up countless wave marks.

Emperor Ying Xiao of the Chang'an Palace suddenly woke up from a nightmare. He sat up from the bed in an instant, the sweat on his forehead flowing like a downpour outside. The sweat on his back was soaked.

Ying Xiao closed his eyes, opened them slowly, and swallowed his saliva again, his black hair had already spread out, some of his hair strands had turned white, and his temples were also slightly gray.

Ying Xiao took a deep breath and shouted outside the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, "Ahhh

Sun Gao, who was standing outside the door, was suddenly startled by the emperor's shout, and then pushed open the door in horror and asked, "What is the emperor's important business?"

"I... I had a nightmare!" Ying Xiao said, "Go.. Go and pass on Prime Minister Cao Cheng to come over!"

"Wow!" Sun Gao replied, and then turned to leave.

......

At this time, a young man in a purple plain suit, with a ball head, a piano in his left hand and an iron sword in his right hand, slowly stepped out of the carriage step by step, while the coachman on the side was holding an umbrella with the man.

A girl and a student in Liuquanju each appeared next to the carriage with an umbrella.

"Second Young Master!" the two laughed in unison.

"Why did the second young master go recently? Before I could say hello to Mr. Run, I disappeared. The girl wondered.

"Take the piano and play in the mountains and rivers. Hold a sword and learn martial arts!" the man said, "Jun Gu Xiao, walk in the white night." Go and say hello to Master. I'll wait a little longer and then come back to the spring house. ”

"Second Young Master, where are you going again?" Bai Yexing suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"Where are you going? Where else can I go? I'm going to the palace. The man then glanced at the coachman, "You can also return to the spring residence, you don't have to wait for me." I braved the rain to go, and this little rain was not a big deal at all. ”

The three of them said in unison, "Second Young Master, be careful, don't fall." ”

After hearing this, the man nodded silently, very calm and plain on the surface, but in fact his heart was a mess.

He came to the gate of the palace and showed the guards the sign of Liuquanju, and lied, "At the end of the second month, I, Gaoke, came to meet Your Majesty on the order of Mr. Jia Shirun to congratulate the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

After hearing this, the guard immediately made a concession and said, "Young Master Gaoke, please!"

Gao Ke slowly walked into the palace, the rain dripping down any part of his body.

Gao Ke raised his head and looked up at the sky, "There is abundant rain, thunderstorms, and the fifth day of the fifth month of May is a good time." This May is going to be the most exciting month in history for me. ”

He thought to himself, then raised his head, looked up at the sky, raised the corners of his mouth, and after revealing a wicked smile, he strode towards the depths of the palace again.

This wicked smile is still very good-looking.

......

"Hey! I ask you, I took a nap today, and slept all afternoon. I dreamed that there were three old men, what was the situation? One was General Huai, the other was a fisherman, and the other was a man with a cane, drinking tea in the deep mountains and old forests. You say, could General Huai have something to do with these two?" Ying Xiao said in surprise.

"Is there a bad omen for nightmares and thunderstorms to coexist in the season?" Ying Xiao raised his eyebrows and touched his beard that had just been opened for a while, although it was not as slender as before, his eyes were stunned.

When Cao Man heard this, he touched his beard and thought, "Your Majesty, don't be impatient." General Huai? and two old men? I heard... It seems like.... General Huai does have a relationship with two old men?"

"Where is he now?" Ying Xiao asked, very uneasy in his heart.

"Back to Your Majesty. I guess I gambled in Chang'an Casino. Cao Manzuo said.

"And what about his ink rider?"

"Follow. ”

"The dignified ink cavalry troops actually gambled with the leader. Catch it. Ying Xiao slowly got out of bed from the bed, held the small round table with pastries on the side with his right hand, stood up, he didn't eat the pastries, but in a fit of anger, he shook the pastries on the table and fell to the ground.

The plates shattered, the pastries were smashed to the floor, and they were no longer edible.

"Go, call that guy! By the way, take Zong Fei! Jinyiwei, it's time not to be so idle. Ying Xiao said angrily.

"Yes!" Cao Man turned and left.

Not long after Cao Man walked out of the door with an umbrella, he saw Gao Ke walking in the corridor.

"Prime Minister Cao. Gao Ke saluted him, "What about Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty had a nightmare and cultivated in the Heart Cultivation Palace. If there is..."Cao Man turned to look in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then turned his head and sighed.

"That's it. I'll pass it on to you, and that's fine. Gao Ke said, and then approached Cao Man's ear and muttered a few words.

After Cao Man heard this, his heart sank, his brows were deeply locked, and then he exclaimed, "You.... You're actually...."

"I have been a prime minister for fourteen years. Now he is over sixty years old. Well, how about making this deal? I'll give you a list of the Sun family. After that, you cooperate with the members of the Sun family and act on the Dragon Boat Festival. When the time comes, your ambition will point to the dragon chair. ”

Cao Man thought about it for a long time, but never responded.

"There are only more than ten days left until the end of the second month. I can wait, but the people of the Demon Realm and the Sun family may just ......" Gao Ke glanced at Cao Man.

"They can't afford to wait!" Gao Ke showed a wicked smile that seemed to be good or bad, touched Cao Man's heart with his right hand, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Prime Minister Cao, it's time to show the ambition of the patriarch of the Cao family." ”

"But..."Cao Man swallowed and frowned.

"But the five gods... Now they don't care about the world, they have gone into seclusion. When the time comes, wouldn't it be better for us to open up a new era and a new world? You will be the emperor, I will be your national teacher, and the eight snakes will replace you as prime minister. In this way, there is no need to win the unpopular rule and military politics of that faint monarch!"

"What if it fails?" Cao Man was still in a dilemma, clenching his fists, sweating, and said.

"You've finally revealed your true nature. Gao Ke raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Jinghan and his gang are in the Northland, exploring the Chang'an Sacred Tree. When the time comes, Lord Eight Snakes will intercept it, and the Ghost King will contain Boss Zhou. I don't believe it, they have a chance to win. Fighting on two fronts, we cooperated with General Lian Hu's Imperial Forest Army. ”

"As for the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the old man Zong Fei and the Jinyi Guard led by him, we can ignore it, because we can let Lian Hu's Imperial Forest Army deal with it. Your Cao clan and those Sun centaurs will be enough to solve it. I didn't believe it, and waited until that day. The guards of Chang'an City can still escape my qin and sword!, besides, the old thing of the Ji family's Ji Yue has also rebelled. With his support, we have a good chance of winning!"

"I'll go first!" Cao Man clenched his fists and walked directly with grief and anger, with fear in his eyes and sluggishness.

"Wait a minute, don't worry. What about your second son, Cao Youyu?" Gao Ke clenched the pentatonic piano and iron sword in his hand and raised his eyebrows.

"He's about the same as Xue Weasel and Jiyue. It's all missing. It's just that his disappearance can be regarded as ignoring the world. ”

Cao Man touched his nose and said.

The two confronted each other in the rainforest, breaking the previous calm at the entrance of the Temple of Feeding the Heart.

Gao Ke looked at Cao Man, and with a wicked smile in his heart, he recalled what happened to him before.

It happened a few months ago.

I was playing the piano alone in a lakeside pavilion in Chang'an City, with a crisp and pleasant sound, accompanied by fish and birds. Just when he was in a happy and comfortable mood, a figure suddenly walked out of his back.

Just as he was about to pull out his iron sword, the man had already tied his head with a sack.

When the sack was released and the light appeared in his eyes again, he found that he had come to the territory of the Demon Realm.

"Fire .... Flaming Mountain!Bull Demon!" Gao Ke was just about to get up and resist, because his hands were tied to the chair.

He saw the guy behind him, and his heart was full of resentment, "Hey, you're... You're Saman!"

When he saw Saman'er, his left and right hands struggled frantically on the rope, "Saman'er, you are the one who kidnapped me." Then he turned to look at the crowd again.

The Bull Demon and the Seven Great Demon Envoys and some miscellaneous generals, as well as the Black Fan Queen Rosa, came into Gao Ke's eyes.

"Stop struggling. It's the magic rope. The more you resist, the tighter the rope becomes. When the time comes, you'll be played to death by the rope. Rosa laughed.

"I'm not going to tell you a word, not a word!" Gao Ke shouted angrily.

"You know, why don't I let my subordinates arrest your senior brother Huaxin, or someone else, just arrest you?"

"Don't make any noise!" Gao Ke spat into the face of the bull demon in front of him.

The bull demon ignored his actions, and wiped the saliva from his face slightly.

"Boss Zhou and my Yizi Shadow have just rebelled. Remember, they are mutiny. ”

"That's... It's to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!" Gao Ke shouted

"How do you talk to our boss!" shouted one of the envoys, Belyl.

The palm of the bull demon's hand faced Belier, "Shut up!"

"Then according to your train of thought, I will let you abandon the light and turn to the dark!" Bull Demon patted Gao Ke's face, and then said to a group of demon soldiers, "Come on, bring it!"

"Mr. Jiyue!Xiao Jingqizi's second apprentice!" Gao Ke looked at Jiyue.

Jiyue said, "Don't mention Master. He is now playing in the mountains and rivers, ignoring the world. ”

After Jiyue finished speaking, her mouth spat out the bloody skin of her lips.

"Polar Moon. He has just been submissive by me, and you are the second! Everyone in the Ji family can be easily submissive, let alone you, a nobody?"

"I'm Mr. Run's second apprentice!, you're a nobody!" Gao Ke struggled, and then the magic rope became tighter and tighter.

"I've found that both of you have been very disgusted with the world and your surroundings for a while, just like me. We all have a rebellious heart. It's because you two have this trait that you can be a spy that works well as a spy. You're very good at assassination, and in a few months, it's your turn to appear!" The Bull Demon covered Gao Ke's face and smiled evilly, "Extremely rebellious, both of you are ambitious. I'm not worried at all, you two will mutiny. Because you rebelled, it was not as easy as the shadow of Boss Zhou and my righteous son who rebelled and escaped before!"

After Gao Ke remembered this, he clenched his fists and turned to look at the Heart Cultivation Hall, "The Eight Snakes will definitely find the Holy Tree in the next few days." When the time comes, the dragon king will be resurrected, and the five gods will not ask about the world, see what to do!"

After Gao Ke finished speaking, he laughed evilly, and then turned to leave.
