Chapter Seventy-One: The King of Runan He Duo is the main lookout
It's dark at night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the capital, in the southwest of the forbidden city of the Son of Heaven, there are few cars and horses on Yipinxie Street, which has been noisy for a long time after nightfall, and only the soldiers and husbands who patrol the night are walking.
This oblique street, known as "five doors out of seven marquis, all on the opposite side, non-big names and high surnames, and those who wear purple clothes cannot live", separates the hairpins and stacked wat two squares where the powerful gather.
Generally speaking, the hairpin fang is mostly the residence of the sage surname, the clan nobles, the princes and the lords, and the diewat fang gathers the private residences of most of the officials and local officials in Beijing headed by the ruling ministers of the current dynasty, but it is only in general, not absolutely clear, there are many more or less rules and divisions in it.
For example, the former Wucheng Palace, although located in the hairpin workshop, the subsequent generations of owners must be shallow and respected by the Son of Heaven, but all the people who live in the mansion here, sooner or later in power, but with the hereditary title, official position, often can only prosper one generation, never become the neighborhood of those generations of rich and noble door valves.
Another example is the southwest corner of Diewat Fang, almost a remote corner at the end of the diagonal street, and there is also a large-scale but strangely shaped palace quietly standing - Langya County Palace, which lives next to the four and five main directors of the imperial court and the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court, which has a lot of oil and water, but the official quality is not high.
The reason why it is said that its shape is strange, the old people in Beijing have passed down from generation to generation, the predecessor of this palace is a Buddhist temple, it seems to be called Rongwang Temple, it is said that it was donated by a prince of the Ji family in the previous generation to build, and later the prince was bad, the evening scene was bleak, and even the temple was also scattered, and once became a deserted garden ghost temple that no one cared about.
It was not until more than ten years ago, when the king of Langya County was sealed and opened the mansion, Shangjuan said that he did not want to build a large number of buildings, labor and money, and after obtaining the permission of the Son of Heaven, he repaired it and rebuilt the deserted temple into a royal mansion.
The king of Langya County is the first title of the third son under the knee of today, Ji Tianyang, the king of Runan.
When the news that Ji Tianyang, who had just come of age, was named the king of the county and gave a palace to the king, the government and the opposition were all surprised, just because his biological mother was just a humble palace maid, and died early.
However, Ji Tianyang does have outstanding talents, three years of feudal domain and the county is governed, there is no famine inside, no thieves outside, the people and military officials are called the virtuous king, and for another three years, the merits are even more remarkable, and the pacification of the Linjun cult has meritorious, the Son of Heaven is happy to hear it, and the two counties are sealed, and the three counties in the south of Ruzhou are almost half of the state, so he changed the king's name to the king of Runan.
As for this palace, which has not been renamed accordingly, it can only be more popular when the king of Runan enters Beijing to see him, and most of the time there are only a few domestic servants and slaves who are guarding and sweeping, and it is also located in the middle of nowhere.
Different from the surging storms and celestial changes in the sword fighting place and the forbidden army camp in the suburbs, the night in the area where the Langya County Royal Mansion is located is particularly strong tonight, and the two lanterns hanging in front of the palace reveal a fluctuating hazy light, and it is not real to see it in a slightly farther place, and it is quite strange and strange in the deep silence.
It was when the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a strong figure suddenly appeared under the lamp.
This person's skin is as black as charcoal, he has a big cake face, his neck is short and thick, and his facial features are even more savage and rough.
A long knife slanted horizontally at his waist, and he hung his shoulders, grasping the hilt and the end of the sheath with both hands, and paced leisurely forward.
It is the reckless mourning and barbarian young master - Helian Minghe.
When passing in front of the palace of Langya County, Helian Minghe did not stop, only raised his head and glanced at the plaque and lantern casually, and was about to leave, when he suddenly sniffed hard, and then an extremely ugly smile bloomed on his face.
His figure flickered, and a fierce wind swept up, and he had disappeared into the dim light of the lantern's flickering light.
The sloping street was suddenly dusty, and after a dozen breaths, the wind stopped sharply.
"I smell the murderous smell of the stock from afar......"
Helian Minghe stood at the mouth of a dark and deep alley next to the palace, stared inward with his eyes narrowed, and asked with a lazy smile: "Hey, who is looking for the bad luck of your grandfather Helian?"
His voice was not loud, but it was still sharp and piercing, like a jackal.
There was no answer in the alley, but two cold rays of light suddenly lit up in the depths of it, dispelling part of the darkness in an instant.
"Huh?"
Helian Minghe's eyes lit up immediately, and he stepped in without hesitation, and said happily: "Uncle Fang Cai kills people and sharpens his sword, and he is really majestic, and I also sigh that except for a Liu Tugou, how can all the masters in this world run to practice swords, and when will I meet a few real people with knives? ”
In the darkness deep in the alley, there stood a girl with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, clear and warm.
She wore a white power suit, covered with a crimson robe skirt, a gold belt with a beast's head tied around her waist, and big red and gold silk boots on her feet, most of her slender white forearms were exposed from the wide and short sleeves, and each arm was coiled with a dragon-shaped black tattoo that could not see the end of the head, and her long thick black hair was softly spread.
The girl held two short knives with pale yellow brilliance in both hands, and the sharp arc blades protected her arms, the qi was bright and clear, but it was full of biting cold, like a cold winter moon wheel.
There seemed to be some kind of beast lurking in the thicker darkness behind her, its body invisible, except for a pair of eyes that seemed to be pulsing golden flames.
Helian Minghe's gaze only swept over the girl, and he was immediately firmly attracted by the two short knives.
The blade of the short knife is as narrow as the waning moon, only slightly longer than the forearm, and the handle is shaped like a bird, all of which are single-winged and one-eyed, one left and one right exactly in pairs. A red thread passed through each of the birds' eyes, one end of which was tied into a dead knot, and the other end was wrapped around the girl's forearm.
Snow-white skin, black tattoos, and bright red cords are all extremely eye-catching.
Helian Minghe was a knowledgeable person, and blurted out at the moment: "Twin Barbarian Sword, Dou Honglian?"
Dou Honglian grinned, raised her chin slightly, tilted her head sideways at the visitor, and wrote lightly: "Helian Minghe, your matter has happened." ”
"Oh, I'm wronged! I'm ashamed to say that I didn't even hurt a single hair of Ji Tianxing that day, he was alive and kicking when he fled for his life, but he was so happy. ”
Helian Minghe was very happy when he heard this, he shouted twice, and said while drawing his knife: "I heard that cutting the liver and splitting the lungs can eliminate delusions and break attachments? ”
Dou Honglian didn't answer, but just took half a step back with her left foot, her toes dotted the ground, her knees slightly bent, and at the same time slowly put her right elbow across her body.
She bowed her head slightly, her pretty face reflected on the body of the Lung Splitting Knife, and her left hand was hidden behind her with the Liver Cutting Knife, revealing only the tip of the knife.
The next moment, the girl stepped forward violently, the sharp blade of the Lung Splitting Knife slammed into the Helian Ming River, and the tip of the Liver Cutting Knife slammed into the wall of the alley, and a thin straight line was cut out silently.
Helian Minghe was a little stunned when he saw this, and he really couldn't understand why Dou Honglian, a girl like a flower, liked to fight in such a narrow alley in close quarters, which was really ...... It's so indecent.
Or, compared with the sword, the blade of the knife, even if it is used by a woman, is still destined to be elegant?
Fortunately, the young master who was the master of the Feixian Guan was not a person who pities the fragrance and cherished the jade, and he returned to his senses after being slightly stunned.
He held the knife in both hands and slashed forward without hesitation.
In the next blink of an eye, the two men were close at hand, and the three knives were fiercely entangled in one place, but there was no sound from beginning to end.
After only a few breaths, I heard Helian Minghe let out a painful snort, followed by a loud bang, and immediately bricks and stones flew wildly, and smoke and dust flew everywhere.
The tall courtyard wall belonging to the Langya County Royal Mansion in the alley was suddenly knocked open by a hideous beast covered in pitch black and with a tiger's head and a bear's body, and a big hole that was almost two people high and one person wide!
Dou Honglian stood in the alley, her twin brute knives slightly retracted her edge, and her crimson skirt danced, revealing a capable white power suit, a gorgeous beast head gold belt and red gold silk brute boots.
Around the place where she stood, there were still countless scattered sword qi cutting vertically and horizontally.
The clear and bright yellow-white liver-cutting knife qi generated into turbulent water waves, and in the blink of an eye, the hole in the courtyard wall was enlarged several times.
The misty gray-white split-lung knife qi condensed into a long and narrow flying cone, which not only pierced the remnants of the courtyard wall with thousands of holes, but also shot into the courtyard wall and flew in all directions.
Fortunately, it was only the wall of the palace that suffered, and Dou Honglian didn't know which official's house was almost undamaged, which could be regarded as escaping.
Helian Minghe quickly got up from the rubble with his hands and feet, and nimbly dodged a few flying cones of knife qi on his side, quite a little embarrassed and angry after capsizing in the gutter.
He was about to have a seizure, his hair stood on end, and he screamed in a hurry, and a lazy donkey rolled on the spot, and his heavy body crushed all the broken bricks along the way into powder.
Just where Helianming River was standing, a dim long sword was silently speeding by. If he hadn't dodged in time, I am afraid that he would have been pierced by a sword at this moment.
Helian Minghe was frightened and angry, but his heart became clearer and clearer, and when he saw that the long sword was only fleeting and did not attack again, he also stood with his sword and did not act rashly.
Although he looks savage and rough, he is actually a meticulous character, knowing that there is a palace within this wall, and Dou Honglian and even the edict want to take him down, but he is afraid and does not dare to take advantage of this layout to let the swordsman who has almost achieved a sword hide in it.
In this way, the identity of the person who shot is somewhat intriguing.
Seeing Dou Honglian stepping in, she said with some shame: "Honglian didn't stop for a while, disturbed the king, and asked the king to forgive him." ”
She blinked, and then patted her ass again: "The gods are obscure, and the Langya Sword really lives up to its reputation." ”
"Hmph, King Lone entered Beijing with a secret edict this time, and he couldn't hide it from the edict. Little Red Lotus, when you were the master of the Demon Gate Guiliu Hall in Jiangnan, you just messed around all day long, and now that you worship Wu Yan as your teacher, why don't you still grow?"
A voice came from afar, low and cold.
Dou Honglian raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said with a smile: "The king is magnanimous, and he won't care about me." ”
She glanced at Helian Minghe, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb on the side: "Why don't you get out quickly?"
Helian Minghe sneered, and sneered at each other: "Why don't you leave? Don't you want to stay in bed?"
The double barbarian knife glowed again, Dou Honglian looked at each other angrily, murderous, and her blood surged up in shame, Xia Fei's cheeks were as gorgeous as peach blossoms.
The voice of Ji Tianyang, the king of Runan, came again, and there was a little more smile in the coldness: "Since you have entered my mansion, you are not allowed to fight anymore, and both of you will come to my palace to speak." ”
Dou Honglian snorted and walked away.
Helian Minghe put his knife into the sheath and followed leisurely with his arms swinged.
The two of them walked one after the other for a while, entered a spacious courtyard, and then climbed the stairs and entered a large hall.
This hall was used for the Buddha in the past, and although the Buddha statue was later demolished and replaced with a throne, it still left many traces, which is quite strange to look at.
A young man in his early thirties was sitting in the middle of the temple, he was wearing a silver crown and a black jade python robe, his facial features were handsome, and his lines were soft, but he did not inherit the daunting tiger and wolf appearance of today's son in the legend.
Behind him stood a sword stand, and on the shelf was an unsheathed long sword, which was the Langya Divine Sword that had almost assassinated Helian Minghe.
More than 20 years ago, when the princes and princesses accompanied the Son of Heaven to the north, the old prince of Zhending somehow raised his eyes to Ji Tian, who was from a humble background, and gave the sword "Langya" of the early death of the prince, because the slave who was waiting on the side was killed by the old prince of Zhending, and almost no one knew the inside story.
There was a person standing beside the king of Runan, with white hair, green eyes and red eyes, a gloomy expression, and a cruel gaze, even if he still looked like a teenager, anyone who saw it would know that he was an evil old devil.
Helian Minghe's face was immediately a little solemn, and before entering the store, he didn't perceive the existence of this person.
Dou Honglian glanced at this person: "Presumably you are the sheep spring who eats ghosts and feeds sheep? ”
Yang Quanzi smiled coldly: "The female doll has a good tone, when the old man was worshiped in the Demon Gate Southern Sect, it was two hundred years earlier than you were born, in terms of generation, you have to call the old man a lifelong uncle!"
Dou Honglian grinned, and said with a smile: "It's just a minion, and you still want to be a guest-oriented?" As soon as she recovered, she was driven hundreds of miles by Liu Tugou in one breath, if I were you, I would have been killed by my head!"
"Your Majesty, what is the use of such waste? If you think that your subordinates lack talents, this Helian brother is the best candidate, although his master is ruthless, it is impossible for him to be directly thrown into the mansion, but it is not difficult to help recruit some barbarian masters to serve under his command, even if he is evil to the prince of Lanling, he will make a sure profit and not lose money?"
"You!"
Yang Quanzi was furious, his skinny palm was raised, his fingers were bent into claws, and a dark green flame appeared.
I listened to Runan Wang Ji Tianyang said: "Okay, let's stop a little." ”
He looked at Dou Honglian and said lightly, "Is there anything else?"
"The king is like a fish in water in the south, but in the north he is a little unsuitable. First of all, he used people inappropriately and self-defeatingly, and almost forced the Gongxi clan to rebel, because Lu Gong seemed to be still there, and even His Majesty had to pinch his nose to seal the head of the Gongxi family as General Luoxia. Li Songqi, who was then sent to Shuofang to seize power, is simply a waste of dim sum, and now it has gradually been overtaken by Lu Bingchen of Jianzhou, although the head of the Lu family, Jianzhou Mu Lu Dongyu, is a diehard loyalist of the king, but Lu Bingchen, who is only a concubine and was assigned to Shuofang to fend for himself, may not listen to you, if you want to listen, it is also to listen to Chang Zhaoqing, the general of Shuofang, who has the grace to promote him, that is, to listen...... The prince's, this is the enemy. ”
Ji Tianyang stood up, turned his back to the three of them, gently stroked the Langya Divine Sword on the sword stand, and said softly: "Don't overestimate the belly of the Lone King, let's say, what do you want?"
Dou Honglian said with a smile: "My master said that in recent years, the king has put a little less thought into Lotus Peak, otherwise even if Lu Jue can't mourn and die, Fa 12 will not dare to leave Jiangnan and carry the Buddha to the north." ”
She thought for a while, and then added: "In addition to Master, from a selfish point of view, Red Lotus and the Demon Gate have an incense relationship after all, and the power of Lotus Peak is too strong, and Red Lotus herself does not want to see it." ”
Ji Tianyang was silent for a long time, and laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! Tell your master, I understand what he means." The attitude of the lonely king towards the Lotus Peak can be seen from this palace, otherwise my father would not have sealed me to Langya, which is close to the Lotus Peak. ”
"Young Master Helian, if you are interested, and stay in the mansion, the lonely king will talk to the young master in detail in the future. ”
When Helian Minghe heard this, he immediately replied: "Then it will disturb the prince." ”
He sighed and praised twice, and what he heard tonight was really an eye-opener for him, and he felt quite open.
Ji Tianyang nodded, took Langya off the sword stand, ignored everyone, and walked towards the back of the hall.
He walked out of the hall through the back door, and the back of the hall was empty, and there was an inconspicuous lonely tomb.
Ji Tianyang stood in front of the tomb and turned his head to look in the direction of the forbidden city of the Son of Heaven.
The tall and magnificent towers and red palace walls of the forbidden city stood silently, casting a large thick and cold shadow in the capital.
Although many important places in the forbidden city are still brightly lit at this moment, reflecting the palaces and pavilions with flying eaves and arches in a glorious and magnificent light, there are also many remote places that are not very important are already pitch black, and no human voices are heard, and they seem more and more deep and solemn.
It seems that the life-and-death sword battle between the two swordsmanship masters on the outskirts of Beijing, the boiling dragon battle in the forbidden army camp, and even the noise of the wall demolition in the Langya County Palace's palace late at night failed to alarm the Huanghuang Forbidden City, which had fallen asleep.
Ji Tianyang turned his head, looked down at the lonely grave, and muttered to himself.
"Listen, under the palace walls, I don't know how many unjust souls are crying, looking resplendent outside, but inside I don't know how dirty ~ dirty. ”
"You are the same as your mother, you are a hard worker, your mother is still an unfilial son like me, but you haven't even kept the child. ”
"Be patient, one day, I want my mother and you to be buried in the Queen's Mausoleum!"

The 5,000-word chapter that I wrote until the early hours of the morning, I originally thought that it would be divided into two chapters and sent it twice to deceive more clicks, but then I thought about it and forgot it. Code words like to be done in one go, and naturally they can't be scolded by everyone as a broken dog. Isn't it full of sincerity and discipline?
