Chapter 9: Provocation

Lin Chuyun and Zhang Tianpeng looked back and saw a person standing on the ridge not far away, looking at them with contempt.

"It's him!" Lin Chuyun said in his heart.

The person standing on the ridge of the field is none other than Han Yang, the old man among the disciples killed by Lingyunmen, it is said that he came here three years ago, but he has never passed the disciple martial arts test meeting, and he is still farming under the mountain.

"Just you, do you still want to uphold the justice of the world?" Han Yang smiled contemptuously: "Why don't you come and learn from each other?"

Lin Chuyun is not stupid, he can hear that this time the "exchange and discussion" is really provocative.

But Lin Chuyun is not afraid, he firmly believes that people can be defeated, but they cannot be submitted. So he stood up and patted the soil on his body, and was about to pick up the wooden sword to fight Han Yang, when he was suddenly stopped by Zhang Tianpeng, he was much smaller than Zhang Tianpeng, completely covered, and before he could speak, Zhang Tianpeng said: "Okay, I'll learn from you." ”

"Hahaha, you stupid big man, I thought you went somewhere, it turns out that the cat found the weakest one here to practice swords, then your swordsmanship, don't want to grow up in this life. Han Yang laughed.

When Lin Chuyun heard him say this, he was even more angry, and he was about to rush forward with his sword, but was stopped by Zhang Tianpeng.

"Don't talk nonsense, Lin Chuyun is very powerful, I haven't beaten him in sword practice with him just now!" Zhang Tianpeng said solemnly.

Lin Chuyun slapped his head: What a fool, I can't hear that others are sarcastic about him.

"Yo Yo Yo, don't talk so fast here, do you have a way to accompany your eldest brother to practice two tricks?" Han Yang said.

"Come on!" Zhang Tianpeng walked over with his sword.

Han Yang didn't panic when he saw Zhang Tianpeng coming, his face showed a sense of arrogance, he picked up the long wooden sword inserted in the ground, and made the first move towards Zhang Tianpeng.

Lin Chuyun, who was standing not far away, looked at Han Yang's sword moves carefully, and he was really more proficient, as soon as the two fought, Han Yang's sword moves never stopped, and the moves were more coherent, sure enough, practice makes perfect, Lin Chuyun said secretly: I still haven't practiced enough.

And after two hours of training, Zhang Tianpeng also seemed more calm, he looked stupid and stupid, but he was quite perceptive in sword practice, and he fought back and forth with Han Yang, but Lin Chuyun could see that he still fought against Han Yang with great strength, and he had already fallen behind in swordsmanship.

Sure enough, but in thirty rounds, Zhang Tianpeng's arm has been injured twice, relying on his rough skin and thick flesh, so as not to suffer pain, soon, Zhang Tianpeng's legs were hit, and one move was knocked to the ground, Han Yang kicked away the wooden sword in Zhang Tianpeng's hand, pointed his own long sword at the stupid big chest that fell to the ground, and said arrogantly: "Hahaha, fool, do you see, you are too weak, if you want to win me, there is no chance at all, just rely on you, do you still want to give God justice?" Dream on, open your eyes and take a good look, who is the eldest brother among the disciples under the mountain, and who is justice?"

With that, he walked away.

Lin Chuyun saw that Zhang Tianpeng was knocked to the ground, so he hurriedly ran over and asked, "How are you?"

Zhang Tianpeng shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I was just beaten twice by him, I can only blame myself for not being good at learning, and when we practice swordsmanship, naturally we don't have to be afraid of him." ”

Lin Chuyun snorted: "I'm not afraid of him at the moment, why did you stop me just now?"

Zhang Tianpeng said: "I know him, I have been a disciple of the mountain for a long time, and his swordsmanship is very high, you are small and thin, and you can't beat him at all." ”

Lin Chuyun said: "Are you stupid, then since you know that he is very powerful, you can't even beat me, can you beat him?

Zhang Tianpeng smiled: "It's okay, it's just a sword practice, kung fu, you always have to practice with others to make progress." ”

Lin Chuyun shook his head helplessly, hurriedly helped Zhang Tianpeng up, and said in his heart: That Han Yang knocked down Zhang Tianpeng, the tallest of the disciples under the mountain, he is bound to brag, and the children who farm together must recognize him as the eldest brother.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, Yanque An's ambition to be a bird, what is the great thing to be a leader among the disciples under the mountain? It can be seen that people have been among the ants for a long time, and they have forgotten the ambition of Lingyun in their hearts.

He didn't want to do this, so he pulled Zhang Tianpeng and said, "Come on, let's continue to practice!"

......

On the official road to the capital, a horse galloped.

The man on the horse, dressed in armor, galloped day and night. Early in the morning, the fish belly in the east was white, and as soon as the south city gate opened, the man took out a gold medal and showed it to the guards, the guards at the city gate were illiterate, but he absolutely recognized the gold medal, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he was released immediately.

The man flew into the city and beat his horse, and Dada's hooves crushed the frost of early winter.

From the south city gate all the way, all the way wide, less smoke and fire, it is the main road of the capital, early in the morning, the white dew is the frost season, but was disturbed by this hurried figure.

Until the front of the Taiwu Gate, but seeing the red wall and golden tiles, the man turned over and dismounted, and a delicately dressed little eunuch took the reins, he didn't say much, showed the gold medal, and went straight to the Taiwu Gate. The guards of the Taiwu Gate saw the gold medal and bowed their heads to salute.

This situation must be the entry of the feudal officials into Beijing.

After the Taiwu Gate, it is the Imperial Palace, the Palace of the Son of Heaven, majestic and magnificent, and can't help but make people awe-inspired.

Including the general in armor, he only dared to walk with his head down, and did not dare to care about him.

As soon as you pass the Taiwu Gate, there will be a eunuch holding a lamp to lead the way, straight through a huge open space, directly in front of the Fengtian Palace, the center of the world's imperial power. The man followed the eunuch and bowed his head to the Fengtian Palace, and then knelt outside.

In the main hall, solemn and solemn, a royal atmosphere, the ministers of civil and military affairs are arranged on both sides, and on the throne in the middle, is the emperor in court clothes.

It's just that from time to time there are bursts of angry voices in the temple.

In less than a quarter of an hour, two men walked out of the hall, their faces as if they were dead, their black gauze hats had been removed, and they had obviously been dismissed from their official positions. After a while, the eunuch in front of the hall shouted: "Wei Changqing, the chief soldier of Heluo, has come to the palace!"

The person who hurriedly entered Beijing and was kneeling under the Fengtian Palace at the moment waiting to be seen was none other than the Heluo general soldier who had led the troops to exterminate the Demon Sect, Wei Changqing.

"Minister, don't dare!" Wei Changqing hurriedly kowtowed.

After a while, the eunuch in front of the palace shouted again: "The emperor has an order, quasi, Wei Changqing, the chief soldier of Heluo, wear armor and go to the palace!"

"Minister, Heluo General Soldier Wei Changqing, Xie Shengshang Longen!" Wei Changqing untied the sword at his waist and handed it to the eunuch beside him, walked up the steps step by step, walked into the hall, went to the designated position in the hall, and knelt down again: "Minister, Heluo General Soldier Wei Changqing knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Excuse me!" said the people of the temple.

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen!" After saying that, Wei Changqing got up leisurely.

"Wei Changqing, I urgently summoned you to Beijing, do you know what is going on?"

"The ministers are starry and nightly, and they don't dare to slack off, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear. Wei Changqing said.

"Look at these folds!" said the Emperor, angrily, and threw a handful at his feet.

Wei Changqing picked up the fold and saluted first: "Dare to fight!" before opening it.

The content of these recitals is much the same, it is nothing more than four words: Heluo drought!

Thinking of the two people who walked out before, I remembered that those two were the governors of Hezhou and Luozhou, and the land of Heluo and Luozhou was also regarded as his own jurisdiction, although he was a military attachΓ©, he could not escape the blame, and he couldn't help but break down in a cold sweat.

All the ministers saw that on Wei Changqing's iron armor, the frost turned into a little white mist, and in the Fengtian Palace, the lonely widow was independent.

Before Wei Changqing could think about how to answer, the emperor spoke: "It's been two years, two whole years, not a drop of rain has fallen in the entire Heluo, disaster relief every year, disaster relief every year, where is the food for disaster relief? If it weren't for the ministers who filled their pockets, the people in this Heluo land could starve to death so much? If the people revolt were provoked, everyone would be guilty of killing their heads!"

When the ministers heard this, they all knelt down and said, "My emperor is angry." ”

The emperor's tone softened slightly, and then said: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have sent troops to exterminate the demon sect that has plagued the Central Plains for many years, and I thought that I could enjoy a few days in peace, but who knew that this land of Heluo has been in drought for two years, and this year, it will not rain in Ganzhou." There are still Wuyan people in the north who come to invade Tianyun Pass, and my Daning Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and I am very worried. ”

His Royal Highness was silent, and Wei Changqing had no choice but to kowtow and say: "The ministers are not in a good position, and the ministers are guilty." ”

The emperor sighed and said: "What crime do you know? The general army of Heluo is only in charge of military affairs, exterminating the demon sect, you have a great achievement, but this Heluo is in great drought, the people are starving to death and displaced, I am afraid of great changes, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of my Daning for hundreds of years, I summoned you to come, I want you to step up military affairs, in case of civil uprising, I give you the right to control, you take care of Heluo for me, manage the new governor, if there is any more corruption and disaster relief money and food, they will be executed on the spot!"

Although Wei Changqing got this great responsibility, he knew the difficulty of this matter, but he was helpless, not only did he not have a trace of joy in his face, but he was sad, and his cold sweat soaked the inner lining, so he had to say: "Minister, thank you!"

After retreating from the dynasty, all the ministers dispersed, and Wei Changqing dared to look back, this young son of heaven, Emperor Hongxi.

"Congratulations, Lord Wei!"

Wei Changqing saw that it was Li Jun, the head of the household, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Shangshu, how happy is Wei?"

"With the power of moderation in Heluo and Luozhou, and in charge of military affairs, Lord Wei can be described as a very powerful minister. ”

"Lord Shangshu's words are wrong, we are all for Your Majesty's worries, for the Daning Dynasty to do their loyalty, Heluo is in this situation, Wei is not good, it is not a matter of taking off the black yarn hat, it will lose his head. ”

"Hahaha, it's important to speak to Lord Wei. Li Jun, the head of the household, sighed again: "Young Son of Heaven, you are full of spirit!"

After that, everyone slowly walked towards the outside of the Imperial Palace, and the first rays of sunlight were shining from the east, like a sword and a sword, and the cold light was cold.
