'Six Dragons'.

Shopkeeper Luo told the 'Dragon God' about the meeting with the Emperor, and the 'Dragon God' nodded and asked, "What do you think?"

Shopkeeper Luo said: "The emperor still doesn't trust us. ”

"Oh, how so?" asked the 'dragon god' with interest.

Shopkeeper Luo said: "The emperor calls himself me when he talks to Lord Shao, and he calls himself 'I' when he talks to his subordinates, which is a small difference, but it is obviously polite and vigilant. ”

The 'Dragon God' nodded, and the shopkeeper Luo said, "May I ask the helper, what should we do?"

The dragon god said: "Didn't the emperor want you to go the day after tomorrow, just wait for him to make a decision the day after tomorrow." Actually, for me any answer is good, for the brothers more than less. ”

Shopkeeper Luo said: "Isn't the helper trying to ......?"

The 'Dragon God' nodded and said, "Well, I've had this idea for a long time, and I've been too lazy to move." ”

The weather of Layue has become very fast, the sun is still warm at noon, the weather is warm, but the wind is blowing in the afternoon, the emperor is in the palace to review the chapter, the headache to see, the courtiers write a lot of flowers, the things that can be explained clearly in a few words have to be written in a thousand words, the emperor is tireless, he needs to understand things, but also understand people.

Outside the hall, Guan Chang stands, today's 'Dragon Guard' is pitiful, Feng Yao was transferred to the 'Golden Guard', and Yang Zefeng has been on leave since the war, and the entire 'Dragon Guard' is left with him and Zhuang Zejing.

The palace is very quiet, Guan Chang looked at a finger-sized broken brick under the foundation of the palace and was blown by the wind, sometimes spinning and sometimes rolling away, feeling bored, now the 'Golden Guard' in the imperial city has a virtual appearance, not only is it far less than the previous 'Heaven and Earth', even a few days ago to deal with Liang Xie and others The elite is left, if a few masters come to assassinate the emperor at this time, the only one who can be counted on is Zhuang Zejing.

This time the confrontation was dangerous, Guan Chang was glad that he survived at the same time, but he also regretted those dead colleagues, the reason why he asked someone to be discharged from the army with injuries and illness and turned to the palace is to live a more stable life, every time he goes out to fight, watching the opponent's iron cavalry assault, watching the tens of millions of spears and lances rushing forward, he feels scared in his heart, the feeling of having nothing to resist and nowhere to dodge makes his scalp numb, watching his comrades being pierced through the body one by one, and being shot into hedgehogs by thousands of arrows, he feels palpitations, how many times he dreamed that he was also stabbed through the body by a gun, and the flesh on his body was cut off by a knife, he was even more disgusted with that kind of life, but he didn't expect to almost lose his life when he entered the palace on an errand.

Guan Chang stood in the cold wind, standing straight, he used to be a soldier, from the beginning of the enlistment of the cowering, to the first time he joined the war, to the excitement when he killed the first enemy, all this he slowly endured and slowly adapted, the death of his comrades made him angry, made him hate the enemy, and gradually he shot more and more ruthlessly, more and more courageous, more and more merits, he became the elite of the army and became an excellent soldier.

As the days passed, endless wars, deaths, recruitments, wars, deaths, recruitments, wars, deaths, his sharpness gradually dissipated, he became more and more war-weary, his comrades-in-arms, generals were also more and more war-weary, and the frontier was originally a time when there were many battles and few times, as a result, he was a soldier for almost every year, and the battles were non-stop, he had experienced several routs and survived, and he was not old and timid, and the most taboo thing about the confrontation between the two armies was fear, he knew that no matter how good his martial arts practice was, he would die sooner or later, and it was difficult to play even a first-class master among thousands of troops, so countless arrows, countless spears and lances, that terrifying momentum, that neat and uniform attack, once you lose the cooperation formation between your comrades, a person will be more small than an ant, will be more fragile than a twist, finally, Guan Chang chose to retire after a serious injury, he didn't want to be a deserter but didn't have the courage to fight again, so he could only retire.

He's running away, he's hiding, he has parents, he also has a wife and children, he would rather be an ordinary person, he would rather be a coward, he thinks the palace should be safer, but he didn't expect it to be safe at all, or even more dangerous, the enemies encountered in the palace will not be as shocking as the confrontation between the two armies, but as long as the enemies here can break into the imperial city, he can't deal with them, the 'Immortal Evil Venerable' is like this, and the group of people in the 'Golden Guards' is also like this.

Guan Chang's legs are hurting, his arms are also hurting, there is no place in his body that is not hurting, he has been injured, his muscles and bones are more painful due to excessive force, every time he breathes, his chest is a burst of sharp pain, as if he has lost the barrier of flesh and skin, and the cold air penetrates directly into the lungs, which is the sequelae of excessive gas, he performed well in this war, he himself thinks it is good, worthy of Yulu, worthy of the court, but he clearly knows that he is more disgusted with war, disgusted with fighting, he once again has the idea of retreating.

"There is still some silver at home, and it is not bad to rent a few acres of land to farm, although it is poor, at least the life is stable, and when the child is older, it is the same to take the test to be a small official, but this emperor is very diligent, and the decline of the government and the opposition may stop, or be a look at it for another two years?"

Guan Chang was conflicted in his heart, and was thinking that suddenly a figure slowly walked from the front, Guan Chang was startled, and immediately grabbed the gun with both hands. The man got closer and closer, dressed in black, black boots, Guan Chang could see clearly, but it was impermanent, Guan Chang let out a long breath, and the hand holding the gun was already sweating.

"Who is on duty? Xiaoguan, or Lord Feng?" asked Yu Wuchang, who seemed to be unable to see people clearly.

Guan Chang said: "Guan Chang has often been a drunken adult. "He is the same as the position of Impermanence, in the 'Dragon Praetorian Guard', he is distinguished by strength, and even the commander before he was dismissed is afraid of people of Impermanence's strength, because he has always been very respectful to Impermanence.

Yu Wuchang said: "What about the emperor?"

Guan Chang said: "I am watching the music of the adults in the hall. ”

"Reviewing the recitals again?" asked the impermanence.

Guan Chang said: "Yes, it's been several days in a row, and every day the emperor is busy until he is ugly, and he gets up again the next day." ”

"It's boring. He yawned, pushed open the door of the temple and walked in, Guan Chang wanted to stop him, but he still let him in.

The emperor was busy concentrating on reviewing the recital, and did not listen to the conversation between Guan Chang and Fu Wuchang outside the door, and suddenly the door of the palace opened, the emperor frowned, and his heart was displeased.

Yu Wuchang said: "I didn't go for your treat, is the emperor so ridiculous?"

The Emperor smiled, "Just kidding, what's wrong with your injuries?"

Yu Wuchang said seriously: "I used to be very unhappy when I looked at other people's yin and yang weird expressions, but now I don't have to look at other people's faces anymore." ”

The emperor wondered, "...... your eyes?"

Yu Wuchang said: "It's okay, you can see more clearly than a blind man, Your Majesty, go out for a walk?"

The emperor hesitated slightly: "No, there are still many pieces to deal with, and Wu Jingguo has many henchmen, and he has made the already understaffed yamen even more cramped." ”

Yu Wuchang smiled: "Then you don't have to work so hard, you must know that once people are too diligent in something, too hard in their thinking, they will fall into it, just like in a swamp, it is difficult to jump out to see things, this is very dangerous." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "You are eloquent, there is always a rhetoric, the people plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn, if they are not industrious, how can they support their families?

Yu Wuchang said: "Then why do you have to farm the land and have to take the imperial examination? Which person in this world who has a comfortable life is planted by farming? There is not one in a hundred high school students in the imperial examination, but more than thirty percent of the beheadings in this law field are from Jinshi. ”

The emperor's face froze, and he immediately said: "How can things in the world be easy? Not to mention the fatigue of practicing martial arts and fighting, the number of casualties is also the most, isn't it the duty of the great man to hesitate?"

Yu Wuchang said with a smile: "What you love in your heart, naturally it is different, when the road is not passable, take a detour, the goal will always be achieved, but I haven't heard of any farmer who has the purpose of farming all his life, Your Majesty, what you want is the stability of the world, and it doesn't matter how to do it." ”

The emperor got up and walked forward, and said with a smile: "It's rare for Lord Yu to be serious, and what he said makes sense." "Since the palace change has made great contributions, the emperor's title has also changed from the guard to the lord.

The emperor opened the door, the emperor stepped out, and the impermanence was not polite to follow the emperor side by side, the two slowly walked down the palace base, and walked into the distance, the emperor said: "This time the matter is thanks to you, after Wu Jingguo's henchmen are liquidated, I will give you an official, do you want to be a civil official or a military attaché?"

Yu Wuchang said: "I'm not interested." ”

The emperor said: "If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have my life at the moment, you have made such a great contribution, you can't say it if you don't give some reward, right?"

Yu Wuchang said: "It's good to say, the emperor will reward me with 10,000 taels of silver, and I will be exempted from being an official." ”

The emperor smiled bitterly and said: "There are still tens of thousands of mouths waiting to be fed at the border pass, why should Lord Yu fight with them for these yellow and white things?"

Yu Wuchang shook his head and said, "It seems that Lord Ben has made a loss in this transaction." ”

The emperor said, "Have you ever married a wife?"

Wu Wuchang asked with a wary face, "No, what are you doing?"

The emperor said, "What kind of daughter-in-law does Lord Yu want to marry?"

Yu Wuchang said: "Beautiful, gentle, rich, I like to eat soft rice, and I can't see ugly women." ”

The emperor said, "What do you think the third princess looks like?"

Yu Wuchang said: "Excuse me, don't take advantage of my bad eyes to fool me, the third princess's appearance is sticky to the beard like you, and the palace maids and eunuchs who serve her with a pungent personality are not less punished, and you are a notoriously poor ghost, wouldn't she be even poorer? Which of these three can she suffer?"

The emperor said bitterly: "...... , If you don't want to, forget it, if you like the girl, I will propose marriage for you and buy a bride price. ”

Yu Wuchang shook his head and said, "That's for later, tomorrow I will go back to Shimen to recuperate, and I will make plans after my injuries are healed." ”

The emperor said: "Stay, there is a doctor in the palace to help you, and it is convenient for any medicinal materials you need. ”

Yu Wuchang smiled: "Now the whole world knows that I am a wasted person, staying and wasting rice, and besides, the medical skills of the imperial doctors are far worse than the old immortal of Tianhu." ”

The emperor said, "It's okay, then when will you come back?"

Xuan Wuchang said: "The patriarch planted a hidden danger in my body, which could have been slowly resolved, but this time the action completely broke out, and the internal force that the patriarch passed the lamp to me was too huge, which is the benefit that martial arts people dream of, which never thought that it has become a nightmare now, not only to make me hurt and injured, but also to contradict and swallow my own internal force, resulting in the loss of martial arts." Now we have to retrain our internal strength, and then peel off the cocoon layer by layer, and take it for our own use, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life of nine deaths, even if we have passed this hurdle, we don't want to recover completely in three or five years. ”

"Is that serious?" said the Emperor, frowning.

Impermanence sighed and said, "Yes." ”

For the first time, the emperor saw him so serious and melancholy, and couldn't help but ask again: "There is no other way?"

Yu Wuchang said: "Yes, first, I will pass the lamp to others twice with my strength, and he will live and die; second, I will give up my strength, so that the internal force of the patriarch and my original internal force will be completely canceled out, and from now on I will be an ordinary blind man, and with my current severely injured body, even if it is cured and made up for ten or eight years, I should go." ”

The Emperor said, "It seems that taking risks is the best option. ”

Yu Wuchang said: "Even if it is not the best choice, I will choose this way, the martial arts that I have worked so hard to cultivate over the years, I will never allow it to dissipate, unless I can fully comprehend the way of heaven, follow the way of my body, and master a higher level of power." ”

The emperor was surprised and said, "I don't seem to have heard of anyone in today's world who has such ability. ”

Yu Wuchang said: "It is true, the 'Dragon God' has been studying for many years without success. ”

The emperor smiled bitterly: "Okay, you can rest assured to go back to the master to heal, no matter how many years, as long as I live, waiting for you to come back." ”

Yu Wuchang smiled: "How does this sound ......?"

The emperor said, "I have a wife. ”

The two of them laughed at each other (although the impermanence was not very visible).

In the afternoon, Zhuang Zejing went to see Zhuang Zejing, Zhuang Zejing already knew at this moment that he and the tiger were betrayed by Zhuang Impermanence in 'Bajindu', but the matter has come to this point, he is a beneficiary and there is no need to do more investigation, the two gossip for a while, and after coming out of the palace, they went to say goodbye to everyone, everyone originally had an enmity with him, especially Tan Xingde and Zong Lao, who hated him even more, and completely ignored the eyes of others, and went straight to find Shao Mingqian, and then saw Liang Xie before leaving. As soon as Yu Wuchang came out of the inn, Zong Lao and Tan Xingde chased him out.

"Come on!" Zong Lao shouted and raised his hand as a palm in the chest, he couldn't see clearly and couldn't avoid it, and flew out with a palm in the chest, Zong Lao and his body were about to kill him, and suddenly a thin needle with acupuncture and moxibustion shot out, Zong Lao didn't have time to hurt the enemy, and immediately dodged sideways, a needle could dodge, and three fine needles shot out, Zong Lao's foot under a wrong body lightning has been dodged again a few zhang away, the flying needle arrived, a Taoist priest then rushed over, he stepped on the blue brick and shattered, and the hand smashed the brick and flew at the old Zong. Zong Laosan changed his name and made another move, he took off his robe and shook it off, the robe was like a wave that hit the broken bricks, the old man hid in front of the Taoist priest in a few steps under the robe, and the "half-step sealing god palm" unfolded a round of fierce attack, the close combat Taoist priest was suddenly weak, the hidden weapon in his hand was not time to send out, the person has been defeated and retreated, more than 30 moves passed, the Taoist priest was so tired that he was panting, Zong Lao's palm was as fast as lightning and slashed at his neck, the Taoist priest stretched out his hand to block but it was too late, Zong Lao's palm turned into a claw, his thumb pressed on the side of his neck, and the Taoist fell to the ground softly.

"Impermanence, it's time to pay off the life debt of a few months ago, right?" Zong Lao slowly approached, Tan Xingde looked lonely, he didn't make a move, and at this moment, he walked over with Zong Lao, and said, "The fate of my 'Tan Sect' disciple has also arrived." ”

Yu Wuchang opened his mouth and spit out another mouthful of blood, wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "I knew that you were going to take revenge, I might as well bring Zhuang Laosan too, he killed more of you, wouldn't it be easy to take revenge together?"

Tan Xingde said with a gloomy face: "There will be a day." ”

Zong Lao and Tan Xingde took a step forward at the same time, and were about to start, when suddenly their bodies fell to the ground with numbness, and the 'Heavenly Tiger Dao Chief' slowly stood up from behind the two of them, rubbed his neck and said, "What a powerful old man, if he pushes a little harder, Lao Tzu will hang up." ”

He smiled at the Sect Elder and Tan Xingde who fell to the ground, turned his head and said to Tianhu: "Isn't the old guy running fast and waiting for them to solve the acupoint to find you dead?"

When Tianhu heard this, he didn't think it was angry, and ran away with the two of them.

Patriarch: .......

Tan Xingde: .......
