Text Season 7: The Battle of the Capital _ "Phantom Spear (7)" Chapter 48: Borrowing from the Past to Discuss the Present
Last time, I said: The emperor asked Jiang Feng about the harvest along the way, and Jiang Feng told the emperor everything that happened in the past few months. After learning that the Demon Shadow Quick Knife Zhan Qun was not dead, Lu Jianfei's emotions were a little 'fluctuating'. If it weren't for the emperor's presence, I was afraid that he would have a seizure on the spot.
The emperor praised Jiang Feng for his courage and resourcefulness, and Jiang Feng hurriedly said: "Thank you for the emperor's appreciation, but unfortunately, I failed to bring Du Shaoyang back to our recruitment hall." The emperor, who was still happy, suddenly had a 'gloomy' cloud on his face, and asked: "Why is this? Could it be that he is unwilling to serve the imperial court." Jiang Feng explained: "Your Majesty, the Qingxu faction has always been a 'door' faction that cultivates the Tao and practices swords, they are indifferent to fame and fortune, and they are sincere in cultivating the Tao, and they are originally unwilling to ask about the world. But for the sake of me who once saved Brother Shaoyang, the Taixu Daoist promised to let Brother Shaoyang come back with me. However, some time ago, the white-haired demon boy who was making a fuss on the rivers and lakes suddenly went to Qingxu Mountain to challenge the Qingxu faction, as a young brother who was a proud disciple of the 'door', he had to fight, although he successfully repelled the strong enemy, but he was also seriously injured, and before I left Qingxu Mountain, he was just able to get out of bed and walk. After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's really a pity, such a good talent ended up encountering such a thing." Jiang Feng comforted: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, before I left Qingxu Mountain, Daoist Taixu and Brother Shaoyang promised me that once my body recovered, I would immediately rush to the capital to help." The emperor waved his hand slightly and said: "This is also an uncertain thing, not to mention that the big war is imminent, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait that long." Jiang Feng was slightly surprised when he heard this, and Yan Kuo resolutely said: "Your Majesty, there are still many people with strong martial arts in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, no matter how powerful the Wan father and son of the 'Gate' of the dead land are, we don't talk to them about the morality of the rivers and lakes, and the brothers will not be afraid of them if they go together." Jiang Feng also nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, one more person is one more strength, this time I also went to Shandong on a special trip, and invited the top eight players of the last World Martial Arts Conference, my eldest brother, Feng Ding, who is known as the king of sticks in the rivers and lakes." Coupled with Xu Yuan, Yue Xingchen and Guo Mofan before, as well as the brothers who came to help each other later, Weichen is sure that he can win this tough battle. The emperor let out a sigh of relief and said slightly: "If your peripheral affairs can be settled, then I can at least worry a little less about it, and I can concentrate on dealing with Liu Shichen." Lu Jianfei knew that the emperor still had doubts in his heart, so he said affirmatively: "Your Majesty, there are also me and Hong Shun, and the 'door' of the dead place can't turn over any big 'waves'." The emperor said disapprovingly: "Jian Fei, you and Hong Shun are officials of the imperial court, and the division is unknown, how can you easily eradicate the 'sect' faction in the rivers and lakes." Even if I am not afraid of gossip from people all over the world, Liu Shichen's mansion is also a master, and Zhanqun like Jiang Feng just said is very likely to sneak here, and our palace has to guard against it. Lu Jianfei said: "What the emperor said is very true, it is Weichen who is in a hurry. ”
For a long time, there was no sound of speech in the imperial study, and the surrounding area was too quiet, which made people feel a little scary. Jiang Feng knew that Fang Xinyao was waiting outside the 'door', and as her good friend, he had to win this precious opportunity for her to face the saint, so he boldly said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being reckless, Weichen has something to do with the emperor." Seeing that Jiang Feng's expression was firm, the emperor seemed to have guessed that he must have something important, so he said graciously: "Jiang Feng, what is the matter with you, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Jiang Feng glanced at Hong Shun, and then at Yan Kuo, Yan Kuo naturally knew what he was doing, but after all, on this occasion, even if he was the main hall owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, he was afraid that it would not be good to ask the emperor like this.
Jiang Feng stiffened his head and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, Lord Hong brought three people to face the saint this time. But don't blame Lord Hong, it's not that he is arrogant, but Wechen has a good friend who wants to see you, and she is now outside the 'door' of the imperial study, and Wechen wants to implore the emperor to summon her. After hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you mean Fang Yanzhi's 'daughter', Fang Xinyao?" Jiang Feng lowered his head and said, "Exactly, Your Majesty!" The emperor's face changed slightly, and he said: "Jiang Feng, do you know what kind of crime his father committed?" Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Weichen knows, but don't you also think that the emperor was framed by Liu Shichen?" Lu Jianfei glared at him fiercely and said: "Pavilion Master Jiang, this is the palace, not a trip to the rivers and lakes, you have to think clearly about what to say and what not to say." Jiang Feng was not afraid of the emperor's blame, and continued: "Your Majesty, I know that you have your hardships, but Miss Fang was originally a *, and she was also out of filial piety, hoping to wash away the grievances of her father, so she came to the capital thousands of miles away. Imagine the sinister rivers and lakes, how difficult it was for her to come to a girl's house, and she suffered a lot when she was in the capital, and she was also a lot haggard. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, the emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, Wei Chen once again begged the emperor, please see Miss Fang!" After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor three times.
The emperor didn't expect him to be like this, so he said: "Jiang Feng, you are also the owner of the Capital Zhaoxian Pavilion who I have given the seal, why are you so reckless in this behavior?" Lu Jianfei said in his heart: This kid has kung fu, but after all, he is still too young, if you do this, isn't it equivalent to 'force' the emperor to see Fang Xinyao? Jiang Feng said again: " Your Majesty, although Weichen's parents died early, he has also read since he was a child, knows loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, and righteousness, and does his best to serve the emperor, which is your loyalty; remembering the death day of his parents is filial piety to them; treating friends with courtesy, this is a courtesy; living and dying with all the brothers and sisters in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, this is righteousness. Your Majesty, although Miss Fang is a 'girl', she is also a heroine among the 'women' who know how to be loyal, filial piety, courtesy, and righteousness. The emperor suddenly interrupted Jiang Feng's words and said, "Enough, don't say any more." After you leave, let Fang Xinyao come in to see me, I have my own measure. Jiang Feng heard that the emperor was finally willing to summon Fang Xinyao, and happily thanked Lord Longen.
The emperor instructed Jiang Feng to calm down, and solemnly advised: "Jiang Feng, Yan Kuo, after you go back this time, you must concentrate the strength of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and you must not make any mistakes inside." Jiang Feng and Yan Kuo said in unison: "Yes, please rest assured, the emperor!" The emperor said again: "Then, waiting for my will, you must be ready to stand by at any time." Since we want to fight, we have to win the war, I don't want to be the king of the country, I believe the two of you should also understand the stakes. Jiang Feng and Yan Kuo both nodded heavily and said, "Weichen must swear allegiance to the emperor to the death." The emperor looked at Lu Jianfei and ordered: "Jianfei, you have to train the Imperial Forest Army and the imperial 'guard', because Liu Shichen has been waiting for the opportunity, I don't know when he will make a move, so you must hold the initiative in your own hands, and you must not miss the opportunity." Lu Jianfei received the order, and the emperor said to Hong Shun again: "Hong Shun, you have to cooperate with Jianfei, train the 'guards' in front of the palace well, and then be ready to contact the Zhaoxian Pavilion at any time." Give me a firm eye on Liu Shichen, once the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion changes, you and Jian Fei can cut first and then play. Hong Shun didn't expect the emperor to give him and Lu Jianfei such great power, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, Weichen will definitely do his best to defend the emperor's country and society to the death." Seeing that the four of them were so loyal, the emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, the four of you are my right-hand men, and after getting rid of the 'traitor' and thief forces in the court, I will definitely reward you heavily." All four of them bowed their heads in thanksgiving, and the fire in their hearts burned.
After that, the emperor talked to the four of them about the time of a stick of incense. Fang Xinyao was blowing a cold breeze outside the imperial study, her body couldn't help but tremble, and her 'legs' were already a little numb. Fang Xinyao said in her heart: Is the emperor really unwilling to summon me? I really want to see my father, although Brother Jiang and Master Lu have told me that my father is fine at the moment, but I still don't know what his physical condition is, and what the emperor wants to do with my father. Really, really worried.
Fang Xinyao was nervous in her heart, she was ready to rush in directly several times, even if the emperor wanted to kill or chop, she had to see the emperor first. Just when she was at a loss, the sound of the 'door' of the imperial study opening came into her ears, and her whole person suddenly became 'excited' and looked ahead......
How about 'wanting' to know what's going on?
Let's see the next breakdown.
