Chapter 277: Pacification
The seemingly stable situation, after all, set off a turmoil, the undercurrent in the court, Qingping King Zhu Luofeng and the crown prince Zhu Luoyun Ming fought secretly, Qingping Wang and his party, including Hongyuan Villa, secretly used tricks to eradicate dissidents, causing Zhu Luoyun to be very dissatisfied, and there was no substantive evidence, and helpless.
There is even more blood and rain on the rivers and lakes, the Lingye Palace is about to move against the party, secretly gathering people and horses to scatter all over the place, and the major famous and decent families can't hold back, and launched a clean-up operation against the stronghold of the Lingye Palace, every news, after every secret report, there will be countless corpses, countless pools of blood.
The action is imminent, caught off guard, and it is too late to stop it.
In a suburb, corpses are everywhere, rivers of blood flow, and corpses without heads and arms abound, which makes the already barren territory even more tragic and bloody......
'Bang!', another sentence of the corpse fell to the ground, and a man in black squatted down with a bloody scimitar to inspect every part of the corpse, but he never found a black flower pattern.
"Damn! Fooled again!" the man in black spat out, annoyed with hatred, looking at the shadows of swords and swords around him, and yelled, "Stop!
The shout was like a thunderclap, and everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, but it was not that they were shocked by the shout, but that their 'opponent' was completely out of action, and the man in black who gave the order took off his hand and thrust his scimitar into the blood-colored ground, hooking up and flying a little sticky mud up and down.
He couldn't remember clearly, but this was the first place where there were suspicious 'strongholds' of manslaughter.
However, among the various sects and family members who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the stronghold of Lingye Palace, the Hengshan faction and the Mu Lin Pavilion were missing, not inaction, but the Mu Lin Pavilion master Shen Tianxiong and the head of the Hengshan faction, Ouyang Ze, who had been in disagreement for many years, both rarely agreed at this time that the news of the Ling Ye Palace's wanton dispatch was too strange.
I am afraid that someone is secretly manipulating behind the scenes, taking the opportunity to lure out the elite forces of various major sects and blatantly enter the slaughter, they all hope that this is just their speculation. But as it turned out, they were right.
Shang Qingyuan study
The sun is abundant, the tea fragrance is overflowing, and in the delicate bone china printed dish on the tea case, there are tempting flower-shaped snacks and sweet fragrances, Ouyang Ze looked at his old rival Shen Tianxiong, who was sitting opposite him, and carried the teapot casually, pouring it on the tips of the buds in the tea cup, causing ripples.
Ouyang Ze took a sip of the teacup, and looked at Shen Tianxiong with a solemn face silently, "Brother Shen went to the cold house without hesitation, but he kept silent about the refreshments, but are you blaming me for not being considerate?"
Shen Tianxiong showed a strange smile, "It's rare that Brother Ouyang doesn't dislike me for taking the liberty of bothering, how can I still have half a bit of resentment?" After that, he naturally pinched a piece of dim sum and ate it, "It is said that the dim sum of the Hengshan pie is a delicacy in the world, and when I taste it today, it is indeed so." ”
Ouyang Ze's eyes were deep, and he smiled faintly, "You and I didn't know each other on the first day, why bother to say these high-sounding words again? Now that the court and rivers and lakes are already in turmoil, it is really inappropriate for us to gossip here." ”
"I can't imagine that you and I have parted ways for many years, and now because of Lingye Palace, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad to sit together again to discuss problems. ”
Shen Tianxiong raised his eyes and saw Ouyang Ze's unkind gaze, and immediately turned to the topic, "The operation to encircle and suppress Ling Ye Palace in the rivers and lakes has already messed up the rules, and several sects have taken the opportunity to vendetta against each other. If this continues, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the fisherman. I don't know what the Hengshan faction, which is the head of the martial arts, thinks?"
Ouyang Ze waved his hand, and Mo Xuan walked in with a wooden tray, on which was a delicate carved wooden box, and the wooden box mechanism was flicked open, and on the dark yellow silk lining inside, there was a scroll that had not yet been sealed.
The scroll slowly unfolded, and the seal was neatly written on it, and the content was roughly to dispatch the secret force of the martial arts to prevent the unauthorized actions of the various major sects, and the lower right corner was stamped with the seal of the head of the martial arts and the Hengshan faction.
Ouyang Ze smiled and said, "I don't know what Shen Ge thinks?"
Shen Tianxiong smiled, "At this point, I thought of going with Brother Ouyang, so let's have a good time with Mu Lin Pavilion!" As he spoke, Shen Tianxiong took out an unsealed scroll from his body, and the content of the scroll was basically the same as Ouyang Ze's, except that in the lower right corner, it was stamped with the seal of Mu Lin Pavilion.
In another place, the back of the two scrolls is faintly printed with a semi-circular pattern, the pattern is roughly the same, but the left and right are different, and the two put the scrolls together, and the back forms a complete circular pattern. After special processing, a topographic map is formed.
The Hengshan faction and the Mu Lin Pavilion dispatch order were combined into one, and the secret forces of the martial arts were mobilized, so as to prevent the turmoil in the rivers and lakes to a great extent. It turned out that even if the Hengshan faction, the head of the martial arts, activated the order, it would be restrained by Mu Lin Pavilion.
Perhaps, this is the emperor's instruction, in order to stabilize the power of the rivers and lakes, so that the Hengshan faction and the Mu Lin Pavilion can contain each other, supervise each other, serve the imperial court, and stabilize the balance of the power of the rivers and lakes in the court.
Ouyang Ze and Shen Tianxiong, many years ago, did not communicate with each other for many years because of differences in some views, and now they are working together again for the sake of the stability of the rivers and lakes. The two looked at each other and smiled deeply.
The actions of the Hengshan faction and Mu Linge were extremely fast, and five days later, the various major factions stopped their reckless actions, and the fighting on the rivers and lakes came to an end temporarily, and the bloody atmosphere gradually dissipated.
The rivers and lakes returned to calm again, Ouyang Ze understood that this was only a temporary calm, and after a short period of calm, there were strong winds and waves, and treacherous clouds.
Hengshan faction? Jing Zhuxuan
The mirror auspicious garden in the north, the arched gate bridge separates the noisy and quiet, at this time, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the bamboo leaves are green, the water is bright and the lake is colored, the sparkling waves, the white duck floats on the water, scratches one ripple after another, and a handful of food is thrown into it, attracting several white ducks to rush for food.
Xu Zining absentmindedly pinched the food in his hand, his eyes seemed to fall on the white duck on the water, but his thoughts drifted to the clouds, since he returned to the mountain, he was forcibly sent to Jingzhuxuan to recuperate, and he stayed at home for ten days.
In addition to the better treatment, the others are not much different from the prisoners! Xu Zining played with the corn kernels in his hand, and his mind was always worried about Qingyun's situation. I thought that this escape plan could not be frustrated again.
Xu Zining thought so, so he simply spilled all the food in his hand into the lake, clapped his hands, and was about to get up and leave, but when he turned around, he saw Ouyang Ze with an expressionless face.
"Master?" Xu Zining looked at Ouyang Ze looking at him with burning eyes, thinking that his mind was guessed by Ouyang Ze, he was shocked, and took a step back, who knew that his feet slipped......
When the sole of the shoe was about to touch the water, his wrist was tightly grasped by Ouyang Ze, Ouyang Ze added force to his hand, pulled him up, and left the lake a few steps away, Xu Zining was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly took a step back and knelt on one knee, "Master, disciple is out of shape." ”
"Recuperating in Jingzhuxuan actually made you so distracted. Ouyang Ze's voice was calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
Xu Zining lowered his head and frowned slightly, "Master forgives the sin, the disciple has been recuperating from his injuries for a long time, and he is really bored, besides, Qingyun's whereabouts have been unknown, and the disciple really can't ......rest assured."
Ouyang Ze always stared at Xu Zining, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "A few days ago, I received a secret report from the dark guard, saying that Qingyun's disappearance is related to King Qingping, maybe the black-eyed man has already found out his whereabouts." ”
"Black-eyed man?" Xu Zining raised his eyebrows, he had heard of the reputation of the black-eyed man before, but he didn't know that the black-eyed man was Li Zifeng, and he wondered in his heart where the black-eyed man was sacred, and how he was so concerned about Qingyun or the affairs of King Qingping.
Xu Zining's doubts were fully seen by Ouyang Ze, Ouyang Ze didn't explain anything, just looked at it funny, "It's good to look at your body, if there is no problem, go back to Yuntian Pavilion immediately to clean up, and tomorrow I will go down the mountain with my teacher, rescue Qingyun as soon as possible, pick up the black-eyed man, and take the two of them back to Yuntian Pavilion together." ”
"What?" Xu Zining's mind was full of more doubts, although the black-eyed man had a great reputation, and he had indeed eradicated many strongholds of the Lingye Palace, it was understandable for him to go back to the mountain together, but he lived in Yuntian Pavilion, Xu Zining was somewhat unacceptable. Because only the direct disciples of the head of the Yuntian Pavilion can move in, now...
Xu Zining tentatively persuaded, "Master, forgive the disciple for talking too much, Yuntian Pavilion is afraid that there is no extra place to live." ”
Ouyang Ze looked at Xu Zining deeply, and he didn't break it, "This black-eyed man is an old acquaintance with Qingyun!" After speaking, he turned around and left regardless of Xu Zining, who was stunned in place.
