In a mountain col hundreds of miles away from the ancestral garden of Buddhism.

The mountains are high and dense, and the people are inaccessible.

So a headless corpse is not very inconspicuous, and in such a place, I am afraid it is difficult to wait for the person who collects the corpse.

Not far from the headless corpse, stood a figure dressed in a black python robe.

There was once a poem, "Those who retreat from the dynasty in the snow, Zhu Zidun is the prince". It is said that the official uniform of the powerful people is precious to vermilion and purple, although this dynasty continues this tradition, but the most respected color is the color of black, and black replaces the golden color used by the emperor of the previous dynasty, so among the civil and military officials, it is true that the red official robe is noble, but if it is a more noble python robe, it is still respected by black.

The Dark Guard Mansion is called the Son of Heaven Guard, and the Chinese army, the head of the five forbidden armies, is called the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and the two are eligible to use black, the former is a black brocade suit, and the latter is a black armor, in order to show the favor and status of the Son of Heaven.

Today, aside from the people of the clan surnamed Xiao, those who are qualified to wear black python robes are all among the first-class nobles. There is a distinction between the first product, from the first product of the high-ranking officials, although there are not many, but there are still two hands, but the first product is only a handful, such as the Taishi Lanyu who was crowned as the head of the three princes, Han Xuan, the head of the current cabinet, and the deceased Metropolitan Governor Wei Ban and so on.

Among the above people, Wei Ban has passed away, Lan Yu is in the ancestral court of Buddhism, Han Xuan is old and frail, it is difficult to leave the imperial capital, and the three of them cannot appear here.

Then the identity of this person is self-evident, it is the new Metropolitan Governor Zhao Wouji who took over the post of Governor of Wei Ban.

At this time, Zao Wou-Ki's hands were full of blood, and scarlet blood slowly flowed along his palm prints, and finally turned into beads of blood, dripping from the back of his hand.

The human head he held up in the palm of his hand was dead and blind, and blood continued to flow from the broken place of the neck.

Another tall figure walked out of the dense forest, and along the way, countless trees fell, as if he had directly carved out a path in this inaccessible place, which was a world of difference from Zao Wou-Ki, who came here silently.

Zhao Wouji was indifferent to the person who came, still staring at the head in his hand, and said to himself: "I have to say, Lan Lao Xiangye is still a brilliant man, no, it should be a genius with means, the Tianji List, the Tianji List, it is really able to predict the Heavenly Machine, and successfully found the whereabouts of your mouse, which is admirable." ”

"There are only a handful of masters in the sixteenth-floor realm of the earth immortals in the world, and there are even fewer sixteenth-floor realms like you, if you insist on running for your life and saving your life, even if Xiaoge Lao wants to kill you, it will take a lot of effort and feet, but you never expected to die in my hands, right? I guess you must have been very aggrieved when you died. ”

"This knife was learned by me from Zhang Aihu, and it was passed on from Murong Yan's heavenly knife back then, known as the land celestial people can also be cut with one knife, and I don't know if I can use such a knife in my life, after all, I have been hiding in the scabbard for a year for this knife, and I poured all my essence into this knife, and I didn't hide it, it was intended to be used as the last means of saving my life, so if I die under this knife, you should also be blind. ”

Seeing Zhao Wouji muttering to himself, the person who came finally couldn't help but take the initiative to speak: "I heard that when you were chasing deer for ten years, Emperor Taizu once sent you to the White Lotus Sect to hide, I didn't believe it before, but looking at your chattering appearance, it should be true." ”

Zhao Wuji said hesitantly: "Emperor Taizu, your lord is going to be the king of the Great Qi Dynasty again?"

The person who came was the left capital inspector of the right army who followed Mu Tang's rebellion against the Great Qi court, and he frowned slightly and said: "Mu Tangzhi is Mu Tangzhi, I am me, you can't generalize." ”

Zhao Wouji was finally reluctant to look away from Xiao Lin's head, looking at the powerful figure of the Northeast Army, known as the Tomb Python, "When the old Shepherd King Shepherd had no children under his knees, only an only daughter Mu Chu'er, after he returned to my Emperor Taizu of Great Qi, Emperor Taizu grace, followed the previous dynasty of Great Zheng added to his title of King of Liao, the Northeast Army was reorganized into the right army of my Great Qi, and later, he married his daughter to Zha Mang, who was then the governor of the left capital of the Right Army, and gave birth to a son, named Mu Tangzhi, and inherited the throne of King Liao. ”

Zhao Wuji paused slightly, and continued: "Your surname is Cha, what is the relationship with Cha Mang back then?"

Zha Qing stared at Zao Wou-Ki and slowly clenched his fists.

Zao Wou-Ki said disapprerovingly: "Don't scare me, I'm not scared." It is said that the sick tiger, the mound python, the human cat, and the flying bear are the four famous generals of the year, but if you talk about age, your mound python is the youngest, and the sick tiger Zhang Wuzhi is the oldest, and I am a little older than Zhang Wuxi, and it is reasonable to know some old things. ”

Zha Qing snorted coldly and said slowly: "On the surface, Mu Tangzhi and I are cousins, so whether it is the imperial court or his Royal Highness the King of Liao, they will rest assured that they will use me, but in fact, he and I should be half-brothers." ”

Zao Wou-Ki was not surprised, and waited for the following.

Since Zha Qing opened the conversation, he no longer shied away from anything, and said calmly: "Before Zha Mang married Mu Chu'er, he had a wife, and the husband and wife had a son, but in order to marry the county lord of the King of Liao, he did not hesitate to give his wife and children to his own brother, and then he went to be the son-in-law of the Lord of Mu and gave birth to a son, inheriting the throne of the King of Liao, that is, Mu Tangzhi. ”

Zao Wou-Ki, who had long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of things in the world, didn't even have the slightest compassion, and asked directly: "Do you hate the father who abandoned your mother and son?"

Zha Qing said expressionlessly: "Zao Wou-ki, at our age, with such a status, what kind of love and hate are we talking about, it's nothing more than utilitarianism." ”

Zao Wou-Ki nodded in agreement: "Reasonable, then let me ask another way, what do you want?"

Zha Qing said in a deep voice: "Recently, there is a sentence from the south of the Yangtze River, called 'The emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house this year', I don't have such great ambitions, I don't dare to think about the emperor's throne, but I don't want to be a slave of the herd family anymore." ”

"Understood. Zao Wou-Ki smiled, "The throne of a king with a different surname is hereditary, right?"

Zha Qing said calmly: "Mu Tangzhi is dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period of dominating the world, and he even takes the words of the abbot of Buddhism as a deaf ear, but the abbot of Buddhism today is no longer the Mu Guan who was born in the Mu family, but the Qiuyue Zen Master, since the Mu family is disobedient, then the Qiuyue Zen Master does not mind changing a candidate, after all, they are all monks, and they do not attach so much importance to these worldly wealth. ”

Hearing this, Zao Wou-ki's face finally became a little solemn, "In this way, this is what Zen Master Qiuyue meant." ”

Zha Qing said flatly: "Why can the Northeast Mu clan be the king of Liao, but the Northeast Cha clan can't do it? Counting it carefully, the Mu clan has only been rooted in the three states of the northeast for more than a hundred years, how can the land of the three states be regarded as their own private property? Now that virtue is about to be exhausted, it is time to change hands." ”

Zao Wou-Ki frowned and said, "This matter is not up to me. ”

Zha Qing said word by word: "If nothing else, at this time, Zen Master Qiuyue has already invited Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Sect Master Xu to discuss this matter in person." ”

Zao Wou-Ki was relieved, and then couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Poor Mu Tangzhi still wants to stand with Xiao Jin, Lin Han and others, but he doesn't know that his family is already in danger, it's ridiculous, it's a pity, it's pitiful." ”

Zha Qing sneered and was silent.
