Chapter 7: Acacia to the Bone (3)

Volume 12 Chapter 7 (3)

On the sixth day of Qingping's disappearance, Jinling City has changed color, and Tang Boshan, the son of the undercurrent of the world, suddenly ordered to cancel the ban on the closure of the city, this time, the original trapped in Jinling City almost all the powerful parties are smiling, these days of dragon and tiger fighting, has made their hearts beat, especially in the last two days, the tragic death of the beloved son of the Duke of Yue, Yixing Hou Tang Shiyi, and the news that the Shicheng Navy was broken through by the Jinfan Society, was spread, these people are not only worried that the Demon Emperor will continue to kill, but also worried that the Duke of Yue will be angry with themselves, and they have already been as anxious as ants on a hot pot, so as soon as they got the news that the ban was lifted, almost all packed their bags and prepared to go on the road。 Of course, these people are not without eyes, the Demon Emperor's "Ten-Day Covenant" It is for this reason that the Tang family restricts the major forces from leaving Jinling at will, and therefore issued a closure order, but this is just an expedient measure to find the sword Jue, not the original intention of the Tang family, but in this dense cloud and rain situation, the Tang family suddenly lifted the ban, and it was clearly a confrontation with the Demon Emperor, which is also a matter of course, because of the death of the Marquis of Yixing, the Demon Emperor and the Tang family are already incompatible, and now there is no war and it is clearly waiting for the opportunity, so naturally they are not willing to offend these many forces for the Demon Emperor。 But doing so did not trigger the Demon Emperor's bottom line, after all, the Tang family was not the Demon Emperor's courtiers, and there was no need to help him block the four realms, but in this way, the contradiction was directly transferred to them, and if they stayed, they would inevitably suffer from the pond fish. If they leave, but they violate the ban of the Demon Emperor, once they clash with the Demon Emperor, they are afraid that they will be killed and injured, and they will be the pawns of the Tang family, but although they know this truth, the instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil still makes them try their best to hide from the world, or disguise themselves to smuggle away, or go together. They are unwilling to continue to stay in a place of right and wrong like Jinling, for fear of encountering the disaster of pond fish.

On the seventh day, after a night of confluence, the forces finally formed two alliances. The powerful families of Wuyue, Fujian, Guangdong and other places have left the city from the northeast. Pass through Sangpo Lake and Jilong Mountain to Shogunate Mountain and Swallow Rock. Located in the northeast of Jiangning, Zhidu Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River has always been known as the first rock of the Yangtze River, and it is also the most important ferry port and important place in the northeast of Jiangning. In terms of strategic importance, it is not inferior to Stone Town, but Stone Town is mainly to prevent the Northern Army from crossing the Yangtze River to invade the land fortress, and Yanziji is the first line of defense against the naval army from the lower reaches of Jiangning. These people plan to board the swallow alum and sail downstream, taking advantage of the wind and water. It is enough to travel a thousand miles in a day, far away from the wind and waves of Jinling. The leader of them is the Yu family in Southern Fujian, although the forces of the Yu family may not be able to suppress these Jiangdong heroes. But I want to go east smoothly. The Yu family's warships are by no means indispensable. Moreover, Yu Xiufu, the young master of the Yu family, was seriously injured in order to protect the sword in Wanzhuan Pavilion this time and almost died. It is already known to everyone, although Yang Ning did not publicly express any gratitude, but these days, almost all the forces with heads and faces have received threats openly and secretly, but only the Yu family has been calm. If you follow the Yu family all the way, even if you are intercepted by the Demon Emperor, you may not really turn your face and make a move, this is the real thought in the hearts of these powerful families. These eastward forces are actually just second- and third-rate forces, including the Yu family, most of the current general trend can only be attached to Jiwei, and there is no qualification to compete for the world, and those who choose to go west are the first-class and first-class overlords today, including Yang Jun, the king of Yu, Duan Yue, the general of Jingnan, Lei Jianyun, the young master of the Yueyang Sword Faction, Wu Cheng, the lord of Fengtai Pavilion, and Zhan Yun, the general of the palace, but these people are not willing to flee, but were forced by the ultimatum of the Tang family.

In their opinion, instead of leaving Jinling, violating the agreement with the Demon Emperor, and forming an indissoluble enmity, it is better to stay in Jinling and go well after solving the ten-day covenant, so that even if there is a conflict, they are also justified, and they can even join forces against the enemy and force the Demon Emperor to retreat, but now they are leaving, I am afraid that in the eyes of the Demon Emperor, there is already a sense of absconding in fear of sin, even if the Demon Emperor catches up with Xingshi to ask for guilt, they also have suffering. But this is also a matter of no way, the Tang family has suffered drastic changes, and the death of Yixing Hou Tang Shiyi is just that, after all, this is a grudge between the Tang family and the Demon Emperor Yang Ning, but the changes in Stone City, most of them have to be under some suspicion, but it is the Demon Emperor Yang Ning, although he has some relationship with Jinfan, but no one believes that he will help Jinfan at this time, after all, the two sides were originally connected because of the sword, and the Jinfan Club made it difficult to break through when the life and death of the sword were uncertain, and it inevitably seemed a little ruthless and unrighteous. Whether the Demon Emperor Yang Ning is scheming or has no city, all forces have their own opinions on this point, but the Demon Emperor is rebellious by nature, he only knows that he has himself, and he doesn't know anyone, but this is everyone's consensus.

I will believe that Yang Ning will sacrifice like this, you must know that the black-clothed man who broke into Stone City has been seriously injured, if it weren't for the defenders of Stone City who were frightened by his ferocity, coupled with the existence of the killer who disappeared without a trace, maybe that person would be buried in Stone City, the Demon Emperor is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he doesn't seem to be a person who is eager for justice and righteousness, so everyone suspects that this black-clothed man may be a master sent by a certain force, so that all forces will inevitably have ghosts in their hearts, and they are all a little suspicious of stealing axes.

Several boats are quietly moored in the ferry port to the west of Xinting, waiting for the guests who are going to travel far away. It was Tang Boshan, the prince of Yueguo, who came to see him off, he had suffered repeated setbacks in the past two days, but his spirit did not show fatigue in the first half of his spirit, but he smiled and smiled, which made people feel like a spring breeze, but the guests on the seat knew that Tang Boshan's scheming was unfathomable, and he even spoke a little carefully, lest he fall into a trap and be harmed by this son who must have been angry.

Yang Jun, the king of Yu, had a pleasant complexion, and did not have the slightest frustration at being chased away by the courtiers, and after three rounds of wine, he raised his wine and said loudly: "Tang Shizi really has a heart, when the king of Japan comes to Jinling in the south, and the prince goes to Xinlinpu to welcome the king, it can be regarded as courteous and thoughtful, but compared with today's new pavilion, it is just a courtesy." In the past, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the South Crossing Zhugong, every time to the United States and Japan, invite each other to the new pavilion, by the Hui drinking feast, since the Jin Dynasty below, the new pavilion farewell is more frequent good stories, the prince chose to send each other in this place, the king is deeply warm. ”

Everyone on the seat, although not all of them are brilliant, but they are not reckless, where do they not understand the meaning of Yang Jun's words, and others are okay, Wu Cheng snorted coldly and said indifferently: " If the Son of Heaven abides by his faith, treats his subordinates with courtesy, politics is clear, Haiyan River is clear, even if the kings are divided, there will be no rebellion of the eight kings, the change of Yongjia, the southern invasion of the Hu people, this is also the retribution of the imperial court to fold its own strands, and the retribution of the self-defeating of the Tang Dynasty today, His Royal Highness the King of Yu has been deeply warm, but I don't know if one day, the Central Plains is swinging, Luoyang is falling, and His Royal Highness the King of Yu will be more enthusiastic when he crosses the south with a hundred officials?"

Yang Jun's face changed slightly, although he had the intention to provoke the conversation, intending to condemn Youji's fierce soldiers and horses, and his disobedience, he didn't expect that Wu Cheng had no scruples and openly accused the imperial court, even with his city government, he felt that his anger was rising, but he knew that now was not the time to turn his face, so he couldn't help but groan secretly, thinking about how to use words to perfunctory the past stalemate.

Seeing Yang Jun's embarrassment, including Tang Boshan, they were all secretly amused in their hearts, and they all wanted to watch a good show, but no one came forward, after all, the forces they belonged to, whether they were open or secret, could be regarded as the overlord of one side, and they were naturally dissatisfied with Yang Jun's hint that they were the king. Among them, there was one person who couldn't bear it in his heart, and said: "Mr. Wu's words can be said inappropriately, the clothes are in the south, although it is the mediocrity of the imperial court, but it is also because the border is not guarded, and the Wuhu invades the south, and has to do it, if there is no clothing to cross the south, how can the Central Plains Han Tong be preserved, such as today's peace, the west and north Xinjiang are as stable as Mount Tai, among which His Royal Highness the King of Yan has made great contributions, how can he let the Hu people go south to herd horses, and then break Luoyang, so that the clothes can cross to the south?" Although Wu Cheng knew that this person either misunderstood or deliberately distorted his meaning, he didn't want to refute it, just smiled slightly, raised a glass to Yang Junyao, drank it slowly, and apologized.

This person is the small county lord Li Qianqian, this time was ordered to expel the guest naturally also has this Han King's beloved daughter, the official envoy of the Han King Li Su's identity is not enough, so it is Li Qianqian who sat on the table, but although her identity is noble, if you talk about age and power, it is far from the others, so there is no room for her to interject, not to mention that she still has doubts in her heart, this time Li Huanyu suddenly let her out, and ordered her to return to Yizhou immediately, but put a ban on her, and let Li Su restrain her, making her feel extremely uneasy, just because she knows her sister's temperament, if she is not very sure from time to time, she will never easily indulge her trouble, she knew that there was a conspiracy, but she didn't know what the conspiracy was, and she wanted to report to the Demon Emperor, but she couldn't get out, so she was depressed and reluctant to speak. Despite this, her temperament is kind after all, and when she saw Yang Jun's embarrassment, although she didn't understand the meaning of the two of them, she also helped Yang Jun out of the siege with the words she heard from her mother in the past.
