1. A son of heaven and a courtier

After several days of violent storms and snowstorms, roaring and raging in the air, everyone had no choice but to take shelter in the house, and after two days and two nights, the wind and snow calmed down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pan Xuan was dying of hunger, knelt in the snow and shouted: "The sky opens my eyes, I am willing to give everything in my life, just for a full meal." ”

Dong Caiqi smiled: "You have nothing, do you plan to tell God?"

"How do you know that I have nothing?"

The three women all laughed, Zhang Qianfeng also shook his head secretly, and Dong Caifeng grinned: "This big brother, even if you look good, God may not look at it." I come to ask you, if the innocent man rains down delicious food, will you give up this appearance and become an ugly face?"

Pan Xuan shook his head and said: "The girl is so spineless, as the saying goes: 'Big husband, don't ask for food.'" Even if God wants to make a deal with me, I'll have to pay back. ”

Dong Caifeng chirped: "I didn't want to exchange the flesh and bones for food, you still have the face to say about me?"

Lu Zhenying asked, "Big brother, how do you want to bargain?"

Pan Xuan said: "My hair is the most precious, but it can be shortened by half an inch, and replaced with a pound of roast pork." There seem to be wrinkles in the corners of my eyes, but God can accept them and seek the best of the best. ”

The third girl couldn't straighten up with a smile, Dong Caifeng jumped and jumped, and said: "God doesn't send down thunder and chop you into barbecue, which is extremely merciful." ”

At this moment, the thunder was rolling in the sky, and Pan Xuan was startled, and hurriedly said: "Look at your crow's mouth, don't really cause trouble, go quickly, go quickly." ”

Everyone remembered the misery of the demon hunt, and their hearts palpitated, so they hurried away. The snow and frost in the mountains and the slippery cliff roads are very dangerous, so you have to take a detour. On the way, he left hunting, got snow pheasants and wild boars, and roasted them to eat. Lu Zhenying couldn't bear it, and he wasn't hungry, so he excused himself a few words and avoided it from afar, Zhang Qianfeng said strangely: "Zhenying, you haven't eaten for many days, why don't you come and eat some?"

Lu Zhenying didn't dare to hide it, and said: "Since I got this thunderous internal force, I am not hungry in my stomach, and I see that it is the living beings who feed on it, and it is difficult to swallow. "At that time, she witnessed the demon hunting, and was rescued by the snow ape and the hunting forest, and she was afraid and loved the beasts of the world, and could not bear to hunt them, let alone eat them.

Zhang Qianfeng is a half-immortal body, but he can not eat for dozens of days without hindrance, and he is secretly happy when he hears this: "The true qi she has obtained seems to be similar to my method of ten thousand immortals, and her physique is similar to mine. So he nodded and said: "We Wanxianmen also have people who are compassionate, vegetarian and not meaty." Since this is the case, then I won't eat it for the teacher. ”

Lu Zhenying's face was slightly red, and she nodded, secretly happy.

Pan Xuan didn't want others to share the food with him, but when he saw the two of them avoiding him, he was very happy, and snatched them with Dong Caiqi and Dong Caifeng, and one person laughed at all the roast deer. Dong Caiqi knew that he had an amazing amount of food, and he was not surprised, but Dong Caifeng was stunned and said: "In the future, if you become a big fat man, you won't even have a handsome face." ”

Pan Xuan said angrily: "If I get fat, I will have more meat, and it is not shabby to exchange some treasures with God, so won't I be as slim as a willow again?"

Dong Caifeng was young and active, and he liked to quarrel with him the most, and laughed: "How come I am not as smart as you? God does business with you, but you have to cry a lot, then our Snake City will have to rain every day." ”

Everyone went in circles and walked for three days and three nights before returning to Snake City. When the city guards saw the return of the lord's daughter, they hurriedly welcomed them into the palace. The eldest son, Dong Caizhen, and the second son, Dong Caiying, gathered the important ministers and nobles in the city, gathered in the main hall to inquire about their experiences.

Zhang Qianfeng chased everyone into the black wilderness grass sea, fell into the poisonous plan of Jiao and Lu Mang, and encountered demon hunting, and said that the snake uncle and the soldiers of the country were poisoned.

This matter is too absurd, if it is said from the mouths of others, I am afraid that no one will believe it, but will denounce that person as a madman, but what kind of person is Zhang Qianfeng? How can he lie and deceive? For a while, everyone was full of grief and panic. Dong Caizhen immediately cried bitterly: "Father, father, you died so miserably!"

Dong Caiying is also sad, but he knows that this matter is not trivial, the elite of Snake Bo City lost all the battles, and no life was returned, if this matter is known by neighboring countries, or there are traitors and shameless people who will take advantage of the fire to rob, Snake Bo City will have the disaster of losing the country. He hardened his heart and said, "This matter will be kept secret for the time being, and it should not be leaked." I should expedite the recruitment of troops, recruit the able-bodied, and form a new army, so that is the best policy. ”

Dong Caizhen glared and wiped away tears, and shouted: "Things have reached such a point, do you still want to hide the truth? If it spreads, the city will rebel." ”

Dong Caiying saw that he was weak, and he really hated that iron could not become steel, so he grabbed him by the collar, and his divine power was everywhere, lifting the eldest brother up, and said sharply: "Daddy is dead, you will succeed to the throne, how can you be cowardly and flustered? Now the city defense is decaying, it is difficult to cope with sudden changes, and the slightest carelessness will be a disaster. ”

Dong Caizhen was afraid of this younger brother, and fell to the ground with his buttocks, looking extremely embarrassed, and he shouted: "Then can your method work? You can hide it for a while, and you can hide it for a lifetime?"

Dong Caiying shouted: "Within ten days, the new army will be completed, with this army, the foreign enemy will not dare to intrude, and the internal thieves will not be able to frame it." After that, the matter will be widely publicized, and a festival will be held to comfort the dead, and the difficulties can be overcome. He swept over more than a dozen people in the main hall and said, "Among you, if anyone leaks this matter, I have to kill this person!"

When he was frightened, Dong Caiying had already walked out of the main hall quickly and hurriedly went to recruit soldiers.

Dong Caiqi has always respected this second brother, and said to Dong Caizhen: "Big brother, second brother, he has good intentions, you have the right to come according to his wishes, just say that Daddy is high-spirited, exterminating the evil thieves of the country, sweeping the grassland, exorcising demons and demons, so there is no news for the time being." ”

The rest of the important ministers were in awe of Dong Caiying, and there was no dissent. Dong Caizhen was in a daze, his mind was chaotic, he was scared and angry, and he couldn't bear to say anything at the moment.

After he retired from the court, he returned to his palace, and was sullen, but he heard a white bone guard say: "The eldest prince, Yao Servant shoots and asks to see." ”

That Yao servant is called Yao Shengliu, and his status in the court is high, and he is the mentor of the eldest prince, and his official position is also high, even better than that Jiaojiao. He walked briskly, and said to the east: "The eldest prince is sad for the matter of the city lord? ”

Dong Cai Zhen was indecisive by nature, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and sighed when he heard the words, and said: "There is another thing that makes me even more uncomfortable. ”

Yao Shengliu was resourceful and wise, his eyes rolled, he had guessed a few points, and whispered: "The old minister has something important to discuss with the eldest prince." ”

Dongcai was secretly happy when he boarded, so he let the left and right retreat, and Yao Sheng said: "The eldest son, the change of elbows and armpits is approaching!"

Dong Caizhen was taken aback and asked, "Why did the teacher say that? Who is so bold?"

Yao Shengliu looked secret, and said: "It's the second son, Dong Caiying, who is rude to the eldest prince today, doesn't take you in his eyes at all, and recruits troops without authorization, and his wolf ambition is known to passers-by!"

Dong Caizhen was already worried about this, but when he heard this, he was silent, his eyes showed deep fear, and he hesitated: "Father personally promised that after he died, I would succeed him as a marquis. Everyone can hear this clearly, if he has a different heart, how can he succeed?"

Yao Sheng said: "The city lord has never had an edict, let alone a son of heaven. These two sons are usually arrogant, and they secretly envelop the ministers, I see that in the court today, more than half of them speak for him. And how his martial arts are, the eldest prince knows better than I know, and my Snake Bocheng respects warriors more than the orthodox name. This person now has self-respect and great power, if the time is long, the life of the eldest prince will be in his thoughts. ”

The tone of his words was eerie and terrifying, like a terrible ghost asking for his life, Dong Caizhen was so frightened that he jumped up and asked, "What about the current plan?

Yao Sheng said: "The amount is small, not a gentleman, no poison and no husband." I have persuaded the left general Xihai, the Tingdao commander Shijie, and the big sacrificial wine Shengzhun to be sent by the eldest prince. Each of the three of us has Hakka servants, and the number is more than two thousand. Now that the eldest prince is in charge of the inner palace, this matter is easy to tighten. ”

This Yao Shengliu is not a traitor and a rebel, nor is it intended to endanger the government, but is suspicious and suspicious, with the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman, look at the second son Dong Caiying is not pleasing to the eye, and wholeheartedly support the eldest son, in the face of such a drastic change, he has bad intentions, mistakenly thinking that Dong Caiying is arrogant and domineering, and has the heart of self-reliance.

Earlier, when Dong Caiying was in a hurry, he intimidated and threatened Dong Caizhen, which made Yao Shengliu even more determined and convinced. Therefore, he made preparations early and came here to persuade Dong Caizhen to strike first.

Dong Caizhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked: "If you can succeed, you will obey the teacher's words in the future." I wonder what the teacher has planned?"

Yao Sheng said: "The eldest prince can pretend to use wine to kill his sorrows, get drunk, and then invite the second prince into the palace as a companion, and 2,000 people pretend to be guards and hide everywhere." The eldest prince has always been a coward... That one... Hidden deeply, the second son despises you, and there must be no doubt. Once he enters the palace, the eldest prince can use this thing to poison him, and then pass on the code, and our two thousand armor soldiers will rush up and chop him into pulp. As soon as this person died, the generals in his family were leaderless, and the eldest prince immediately dispatched troops to wipe out the remnants, and the great event has been completed. ”

Dong Caizhen had already agreed in his heart, but this was an unkind and unrighteous act, and he still had to pretend to be a show, he squeezed out tears and sighed: "We are brothers, I would rather him treat me unkindly, and I can't treat him unjustly." If this news spreads in the future, what face will I have to see Daddy's tablet?"

Yao Shengliu knew the habits of this disciple very well, and secretly scolded: "He has to let me pretend to be a traitor and act as a Ming Jun myself." He was also helpless, gritted his teeth and said: "The eldest prince said that he entered the palace late at night with the intention of committing murder." Anyway, this person's previous behavior is obvious to everyone, and on this ground, who can question it?"

Dong Caizhen sighed, shook his head, and said, "I have no objection to what the teacher said. ”
