Xing Zhen took the quill seriously and wrote the parchment.

Qianyun on the side waited patiently, playing with the silver knife where Xingxuan was placed

An hour later, Xing Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and he placed the quill on the pen stand, revealing a smile.

Seeing this, Qianyun on the side put the silver knife back in its place, came to Xing Xuan's side, and took the rolls of parchment from his hand.

"That's all there is to it?" Qianyun asked

"Copy me, all of it. Xing Xuan pursed his lips and said, "These are only part of it, but it should be enough for your sister to cultivate during this time." ”

And then. Xing Xuan said and turned the storage ring in his hand, "These clothes, medicines, and Yuan Ye are for you." ”

Qianyun raised her eyebrows and said suspiciously, "Didn't you already give this month's quota?"

"Yes, these are my ...... this time A reward for performing a mission in the Yuan Temple. Xing Xuan stood up and said, "Don't refuse, you can take it with confidence, and it will be used as a reward for you to help me investigate the Wu family." ”

Qianyun hesitated, but finally took it.

Xing Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

He knew that in the original battle for the defense of Kuicheng, Qianyun had provoked some officials in Kuicheng who were dissatisfied with him because he had been following his orders, and now they couldn't touch themselves, so they could only find various excuses to detain Qianyun's share.

Although Qianyun was ordered by Yuan Dian to be his own personal soldier, the monthly quota was distributed by Yuan Dian, and it was very simple to find an excuse to wear small shoes on this.

After all, no matter how popular Xing Xuan is here, he has no real power after all, so someone dares to target him secretly.

Xing Xuan has no suitable way, Qianyun has a strong personality and a good face, so he can only find an excuse to help him.

Moreover, these were also what he deserved, and he helped himself find an important clue, which naturally deserved to be rewarded accordingly.

Xing Xuan picked up his three dragons and looked at Qianyun.

"Speaking of which, I don't know if you can use a sword?"

"Of course, I am a soldier, and swordsmanship is the basic skill, but the practice is only scratching the surface, and there is no in-depth study. ”

Xing Yan nodded when he heard this

"If you don't have anything important, accompany me to practice swords. ”

"No!" Qianyun arched.

"You don't have to be so formal. Seeing this, Xing Zhen laughed, "We are superficially superior-subordinate relationships, but we are friends, aren't we?"

The corners of Qianyun's mouth rose when she heard this, but she seemed to feel that it was rude, and lowered her head, as if to cover up her rudeness.

Seeing this, Xing Xuan couldn't help but laugh, and stepped forward to help him up.

"Alright, no need to be polite. Xing Xuan said as if jokingly, "If Brother Lu sees this scene, he will definitely scold me." ”

As he spoke, Xing Yu picked up the three dragons and rode towards the courtyard.

Not long after, the "clanging" sound of sword blades colliding sounded in the courtyard, one after another, and even some crisp and pleasant feeling.

Qianyun is worthy of being a soldier, just saying that he was in a tight position when he held the sword, staring at the demeanor in front of him, and before he took a step, the murderous aura emerged.

Qianyun stepped forward and slashed, Xingyun was just at the right time to wait until Qianyun's sword was about to attack, and then the sword was upside down, and with a loud "dang", Qianyun's slash not only did not repel Xingxuan, but was bounced back.

Xing Xuan seized this opportunity and waved the blade in his hand one after another, and Qianyun had to retreat one after another under this fierce attack, and the sound of the blades colliding "dangdang".

But Qianyun did not panic, but was very calm and deliberately sold a flaw.

Xing Zhen slashed at him with a sword, and he pulled the sword upward, and with a "bang", it met Xing Zhen's blade.

Xingxuan rolled in the air and landed three feet away from Qianyun.

"Okay! Come again!" the corners of Xing Xuan's mouth rose, and he pursued him with his sword again.

At this time, Sun Yingwu came to the backyard.

"Xiao Zhen, the city lord's mansion sent someone to deliver an order"

Hearing this, Xing Xuan looked at Sun Yingwu and stopped waving the sword blade in his hand.

He stepped forward and opened the parchment and nodded.

"Qianyuna, the city lord summoned the officials of Kuicheng and said that there was something important to inform, so I went first. ”

Qianyun arched his hand: "Then I will leave below." ”

Xing Yan nodded and headed towards the house.

Qianyun carefully placed her belongings in her storage ring.

That's right, Qianyun also has a storage ring, which is not unique to the yuan, but circulates in the market, but the general of the yuan is more advanced, like Xing Zhen is often injected with a trace of yuan power to open, which is the secret effect of the ring to prevent it from falling into the hands of others.

But because of its relatively high price, there are only five of the 200 people in the Qianyun Beishan military camp.

To get back to the point, it didn't take long for Xing Xuan to step into the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the other officials had already taken their seats, Xing Zhen arched his hand to those people, the city lord on the main seat nodded, and Xing Zhen sat in his seat.

"Okay, now that the people are all over, there is bad news from the Yuan Palace. With a solemn face, the city lord picked up an envelope with gold leaf embedded in the table and handed it to the eunuch who served next to him.

The eunuch respectfully took it and cleared his throat.

"In the twenty-fourth year of Qianqi, Lone was shocked to hear that the Great Imperial City had fallen, the thieves invaded, the purple sky fell, and the royal family was covered with dust.

After a short time, some of the old officials began to cry silently, while others looked panicked and talked a lot.

"Quiet, there is another directive. The lord of the city picked up another letter from the table and handed it to the eunuch guard.

The officials were silent for a moment, looking at the eunuchs expectantly.

"The monarch of Luan State troubled the dynasty, killed His Majesty, became a wolf, still harbored evil intentions, tried to steal the throne, was a common disease of people and gods, and was not tolerated by heaven and earth.

Although Xing Zhen has never paid attention to the affairs of the world, he was still surprised when he heard this.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Dynasty was killed?

Before he could think deeply, those officials all knelt down, or quietly sobbed, or wailed loudly, and for a while, the official government turned out to be like a mourning hall, and the crying was pervasive.

Xing Xuan was stunned when he saw this, so he had to kneel down as well, no matter what, His Majesty the Emperor was the nominal co-lord of the world after all.

After the officials kowtowed heavily in the direction of the imperial capital, they finally stopped bowing, but still sat back in their seats with sad faces.

"The imperial capital here is in trouble, and it is privately occupied by the rebellious ministers, we should first mourn, and then suppress the grief in our hearts, and focus on the overall situation, the hall lord has already explained in the instruction that he will lead the people to assist the main hall and join forces with the heroes of the world to crusade against the rebellious ministers. ”

"Therefore, we should inform the people of this news and the instructions of the Yuan Palace at this time, and then wait for the next instructions of the Yuan Palace. The city lord said solemnly, "I'm afraid there will be a war soon." ”

Two hours later

After two hours of talking, the gathering of officials was dispersed.

The city lord has given orders to many officials, first notify the people according to the instructions of the Yuan Palace, and then perform the funeral, and then appease the people's hearts, and although the Yuan Palace did not say the rest of the matter, but the heart understands that the matter of conscription and leather and armor has begun to prepare.

After that, it depends on the instructions of the Yuan Palace, after all, no one can know what will happen next.

Xing Xuan walked through the crowd and looked back at the City Lord's Mansion, whose eaves were already full of white couplets, and frowned.

Obviously, the entire Yuan Palace is an independent regime, and it is obviously not under the control of the Great Emperor at all, but at this time, he is trying his best to mourn for His Majesty the Emperor, is this the matter of the court?

It is a great irony that no one paid attention to him when he was alive, and even treated him as a joke, and when he died, he mourned for him, and mourned him with great sorrow.

In other words, His Majesty the Emperor is also a tragic figure.

When Xing Xuan was resting at the end of his cultivation, he sometimes read history books and had some understanding of this great dynasty.

Once upon a time, the founder of the Great Dynasty was ordered by the creator god to open the prelude to the rule of this world, when all the people worshipped, the princes guarded, the road was not forgotten, the night was not closed, everyone was public, it was a desirable ancient prosperous era.

And now, with the passage of time, the great dynasty is worse than the generation, the power is falling, in recent years, the world knows that the great dynasty has long been like a storm, plus the emperor is already mediocre, although there is no heart to revive the dynasty, but there is no ability to revive, can't help but sad, sigh.

Xing Xuan shook his head, now is not the time to sigh, he also has a task, as the chief of the court guard sent by the Yuan Palace to supervise the place, he needs to bring his own private soldiers, that is, Qianyun and them, as well as those small officials who are actually in their own name, but actually secretly obey the city lord, to supervise the implementation of the order together.

Xing Xuan is not worried that those petty officials will not listen to him, after all, fools also know that this is an extraordinary time, and appeasing the people and preventing riots is the first priority, and if something goes wrong, it will be severely punished.

He now remembered the conversation with Changsun Jing by the lake that day, Changsun Jing scolded himself in a panic, it seems that this incident happened at that time, the news of the blockade of the Yuan Palace is true, and the war may break out later.

Why is this so? Xing Xuan vaguely understood, but still couldn't figure it out.

night

Today, when he announced this news to the people, it caused a huge sensation, and he took Qianyun and those small officials to inspect everywhere, and he was busy for a long time.

But it was not himself who was the busiest, but the city lord and those officials.

Xing Xuan sat next to Feng Ye, his eyes staring straight at the bonfire, his mind already out of his mind.

"Is the flame so beautiful?" Feng Ye glanced at him and said leisurely.

"Ah, Uncle Wind. Xing Xuan looked up, and her thoughts were pulled back.

"What are you thinking? ”

"It's nothing. Xing Zhen scratched his head and looked at Feng Ye, "Uncle Feng, I have two questions. ”

"You ask, grinding and chirping, it's boring to beat around the bush! Feng Ye frowned and took off the potatoes that were roasted on the branches.

"It's a matter of officialdom, Uncle Feng, why is the Yuan Palace blocked the matter of His Majesty the Emperor being killed?" Xing Xuan said suspiciously, "There is also the fact that the Yuan Palace is an independent regime at all, but it still makes great efforts to mourn the whole country and mourn for the Great Emperor?"

Feng Ye smiled and said, "Xiao Zhen, you are still too young. ”

Then, Feng Ye stood up.

"The first of these two things you asked me was to appease the hearts of the people, and the second was to appease the hearts of the world, including the people. ”

When Feng Ye said this, Xing Ye was even more puzzled.

"What does that mean?"

"A few days ago, there was a troubled burnt ceremony, many generals were killed, exiled and exiled, you should know this matter better than me. Feng Ye said.

That's natural, and I have something to do with it.

Xing Zhen pursed her lips.

"At that time, the people needed to be appeased, and the stakes were high, so in order to prevent riots, it was natural to block the news. Later, the case was found out, it doesn't matter if the truth is like this, the most important thing is that the Yuan Palace closed the case, Kuang Zheng Chaogang, and at this time, the assassination of the emperor can be made public. ”

Xing Zhen nodded

"And what about the second thing?"

"The second thing is simpler, the monarch of Luan State assassinated the emperor, no matter how he said it, he also confirmed the name of the thief, and Yuan Dian's move is to draw a line with Luan Guo and appease the hearts of the world. ”

"But Yuan Dian doesn't care if the emperor is dead or alive. ”

"But all the people of the world care. Feng Ye raised his hand and said this, and Xing Ye was stunned for a moment.

"Yuan Dian naturally doesn't care about the emperor's life or death, but the people don't think so, Luan's move, if the name is not right, it will be discussed by the world, at this time, to fight the unrighteous thing with righteousness, is what other princes are vying to do. Feng Ye took a sip of wine and said, "It's that simple, the people's will, although Luan Guo killed the emperor and overthrew the regime, it was bound to fail, and the Yuan Palace and even other princes just found a reason to send troops to appease the people, and then they might send troops to crusade against Luan and carve up their lands." ”

Xing Xuan nodded when he heard this, muttering to himself.

"Fight the ......... with Righteousness"

"These are the world's mental techniques, you are still young at this time, and it is nothing if you don't understand them, but these are very useful in today's world. Feng Ye added.

"Thank you, Uncle Feng, Xing Zhen understands. Xing Xuan arched his hand and said.

"Is it true or false? The world's mental art is the most difficult thing in the world to grasp, because its basic is the human heart. Feng Ye smiled and pointed his finger at the location of Xing Ye's heart.

Xing Xuan's eyes widened when he heard this.

"I just know why Yuandian behaves like this, as for what Uncle Feng just said, it is unrighteous to fight with righteousness, and if the name is not right, it is not good......... Still half-understood. Xing Xuan said ashamedly.

Feng Ye laughed and took another sip of wine.

"These things you will understand in the future, don't rush to this time, what you need to do now is to improve your ability, cultivation, knowledge, cognition, and mind, all of which can be delayed. ”

"Yes. Xing Xuan lowered his head and said.

Although Feng Ye said this, he still couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

"If the name is not right, is it not good......"
