Chapter 78: The Water of West Lake, My Tears
Entering the inner city, Liu Qingfeng and I were like a poor boy in the countryside entering the city, with towering high-rise buildings, majestic halls, pavilions, and eaves and corners, which made me dizzy. Liu Qingfeng said No wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, let me live in this palace, even if it is worth it for one day. I said in the palace, can you pay attention to your words, be careful that the wall has ears, it is a sin to be killed.
We turned around and saw a military general walking towards us with a full armor and a spear in his hand.
Qingyun Dao Chang arched his hand and said, it turned out to be Zhao Xin Zhao, you are not staying by the emperor's side, what are you running around in the imperial city. Zhao Xin said that the emperor has taken a lunch break, and there are still two hours left for the night banquet, so I will take a turn in the palace first, just in case.
Ye Liangchen introduced us to each other, this military general turned out to be the emperor's personal guard Zhao Xin, but he had never heard of this person in the rivers and lakes. But it's no wonder that no matter how much Xiaosheng gossips, he won't talk nonsense about things in the palace, unless they don't want to mess around in the capital.
Ye Liangchen asked about the deployment of the city defense, and Zhao Xin did not shy away from it, saying that there were 3,000 guards of the forbidden army in the palace tonight, more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in the capital, and 5,000 people in the three battalions outside the capital. Ye Liangchen asked why there were so many people outside the city. Zhao Xin told Ye Liangchen that it turned out that the two vassal kings of Qi and Shu were also invited, and they each brought 2,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were stationed outside the city. The 5,000 men of the three battalions were mainly to keep an eye on the 4,000 feudal army in case of contingencies.
Daoist Qingyun chatted with Zhao Xin for a while, and then asked casually, the bait has been thrown, has it been baited?
Zhao Xin smiled, the emperor is wise and martial, everything is expected.
At this time, a horse came from afar, it seemed that it should be the scout costume of the three battalions, and the horseback in the imperial city was ridden, and only those who reported the military situation had this kind of power. The scout looked flustered, turned over and dismounted, and saluted Zhao Xin.
Open...... Enlightenment...... Zhao ...... Zhao ...... Mr. Zhao...... Tube.
I was speechless, this scout turned out to be a stammer, and he didn't finish a sentence for a long time. Zhao Xin said impatiently, if there is something, hurry up.
The scout said, ...... Enlightenment...... Zhao ...... Zhao ...... Zhao ......
Zhao Xin used to be a slap in the face, can you fuck the point!
Capital city...... Beijing...... Capital city...... Hair...... Hair...... Found......
I remembered that there was a stammerer in our village, who stumbled in speech on weekdays, but when he sang fluently, I reminded him that if you can't say it, you can sing!
The scout's face was flushed, he took a deep breath, and sang, the water of the West Lake, my tears, I would rather turn into a piece of poop with you!
Zhao Xin was furious, fuck your mother's poop, a little cold, the scout had blood gushing in his throat, and died in the square. Immediately, a subordinate came over and dragged away the body and cleaned up the bloodstains.
The palace garden is in the north of the palace, slightly smaller than the chrysanthemum garden, but there are mountain views, small lakes, and the pavilion is quite poetic. According to Ye Liangchen, there were countless martial arts masters hidden in the dark during the period, and many of the top 50 in Xiaosheng were recruited by the imperial court.
Liu Qingfeng said, no wonder as the saying goes, learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family. Live a day of licking blood on the rivers and lakes, where is it cool to be a guard for Emperor Lao Tzu in the palace. Besides, the palace is heavily guarded, where are there so many assassins?
Ye Liangchen said in a flash, do you think they are all here to retire All year round, all kinds of assassinations in the palace abound, twelve years ago, the Astounding Array was maintained (version upgraded), and several old monsters outside the Three Realms also came to join in the fun, and more than 30 Tongxuan masters in the capital died that night.
I've heard you guys talk about this thing in the morning, is this a very powerful formation?
Ye Liangchen said that at the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu set up the Shocking Array to prevent these old monsters outside the Three Realms. Although there have been no land immortals in the martial arts in the world in the past hundred years, there are still a few super masters who have jumped out of the three realms. If these people were ordinary soldiers, they would not be able to stop them unless they were determined to die. Therefore, in that year, Tianji Pavilion took the capital as the square circle and the palace as the eye of the array, built a large array, and set up two auxiliary arrays in the north and south, and set up eighteen side arrays in all directions.
We followed the mark of the invitation and found the hall where we were. The night banquet was held in Xuanwu Square. Xuanwu Square is one acre in size, and the stage has been built. Emperors, vassal kings, and major ministers are in the north hall, people from the rivers and lakes are in the east hall, and the west hall is occupied by governors, prefects, and other officials from various provinces.
Daoist Qingyun was called by the eunuch to the north hall, and we wandered around the east hall. The hall is full of all kinds of cold food fruit plates, Liu Qingfeng said that for this dinner, I didn't eat much at noon, you look at this lychee, we ordinary people can't think of it in this season, there is no limit to the supply here, hahaha!
Some people came one after another, and I looked for the shadow of Mingjiao among them, but I found nothing.
