Chapter 279 The Secret of the Palace Gate

At dawn, Jin Boyan quietly returned to his home in the inner city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWith the strength of the Jin family, he was originally not qualified to live here, but his family only occupied a small courtyard, which belonged to the Imperial Array Hall, so he could live here.

"Sir. The concubine in the first room said while helping him change his clothes: "There are several old servants in the family who are old, and the concubines have given them silver money to let them go back to their hometowns to support their old age." ”

She said the names of several people, and Jin Boyan recalled that they were all old people in the family, but they were all inconsequential positions, and they were normal personnel changes.

He nodded, "Okay." If there is not enough manpower, a few of you will discuss it, recruit some more people, and I will go to the palace. ”

"Yes. ”

Jin Boyan changed into an official robe, entered the palace through the side door, and waited in a side hall.

The plan to improve the Great Array of Protectors was extremely important, and it was impossible for the Emperor to ignore it.

Jin Boyan entered the palace to pay a visit, and then reported the phased results to the emperor, and then said: "In the future, those sixth-order and seventh-order formation masters will not be able to help much for the time being, and the entire large array will be integrated and improved, and the old man will be the main one, with the assistance of the old minister and Yao Qingshui." ”

"But they can't be dismissed. The final result of the old man of the stone must be a ninth-order city protection array, and it needs to be simplified into an eighth-order large array for use in some important military towns, and then simplified into a seventh-order large array for the state capital, a sixth-order large array for the county town, and a fifth-order large array for the county seat. ”

The emperor nodded: "Aiqing, you can handle these things." I came to you for two things. First, can Yao Qingshui's group of people find a way to stay in the Imperial Array Hall as much as possible?"

Although Jin Boyan was reluctant, he also knew that he could never object at this time, although the emperor used a consultative tone, but if you really thought that the lord of a country would really discuss this kind of thing with you, it would be too naΓ―ve.

Jin Boyan nodded immediately, and said sincerely: "The old minister will definitely do his best to leave these great talents behind." ”

The emperor nodded in satisfaction: "Okay." Then let's talk about the second thing, this big array is very important, you must give me a good pass, and don't let people do anything inside!"

Jin Boyan knelt down and said: "The old minister obeys the order!"

"Alright, you go down. ”

Jin Boyan kowtowed and retreated, but he muttered in his heart, the array masters summoned this time are all innocent people, and they have been famous in the Taiyan Dynasty for a long time, why did Your Majesty suddenly have more doubts?

He thought about it, went back to the Imperial Array Hall, called a few henchmen, and ordered them to go on like this, so and so, and those people immediately nodded and obeyed, and went separately.

The emperor sent Jin Boyan away, and after returning to the Dragon Case, he handed a copy of Tailongwei's recital to the old eunuch beside him: "Archive." ”

What Jin Boyan didn't know was that the problem was himself. He asked his subordinates to track down "Han Youxue" and found many suspicious points, and then casually threw the case to Tailongwei, but he didn't expect Tailongwei to check and find many suspicious points, coupled with the recent intelligence from the outside, it seems that someone is secretly infiltrating the Taiyan Dynasty!

The emperor became suspicious, so he called Jin Boyan to explain.

In addition to Jin Boyan, the emperor also had to meet with seven or eight courtiers today, including important cabinet ministers and officials from some confidential departments. After finishing this, it was already noon, and he ordered: "Send an order to the imperial dining room, prepare lunch." The two little ones were in a hurry, right? ”

"Yes. The old eunuch agreed, and went out to deliver the message.

In a short time, everything was ready, the emperor was driving, and two young men knelt down to greet him.

The emperor waved his hand with a pleasant face: "This is a private occasion, you don't have to be so polite, let's get up." The two got up, one blushing with excitement, the other pale and seemingly reluctant.

This person Chen Zhining knew, Qin Fenghe, a disciple of the Han family.

"You are all the pillars of the imperial court, and I and the royal family will rely on you in the future, so try to relax, today is just a family banquet. The emperor said with a smile, Qin Fenghe lost his soul, but the other person, Yu Guanghe, was excited: "Your Majesty is relieved, but you have a destiny to do everything! Your Majesty and the royal family can look at the kid, it is the supreme honor of the kid......

......

The housekeeper came in with a gift list and said shockingly: "Young master, this is already the fourth generous gift sent by Lu Kuanghua, take a look......"

Chen Zhining glanced at it, and threw it aside with some annoyance: "Send it back as it is." ”

The butler opened his mouth, but nodded in response: "Yes." ”

This housekeeper was temporarily hired by the Chen family in Jingshi, and he couldn't find any good candidates in his eagerness. This housekeeper had only been a housekeeper of a six-rank official in the Beijing Division before - in the local Liupin, he was a big official, but in the Beijing Division, he could only be regarded as a "small official".

When he first entered the Chen Mansion, it was for a lot of commissions, but he didn't expect to gradually find out that this Chen family is amazing!

Many big people who he could only look up to before had to hand over the Chen family. is like this Lu Kuanghua, the Lu family is also well-known in Beijing, and an invitation card from the Jinghua Club is not so easy to get from an old family.

And after hearing that the young master made a big fuss at the essence meeting, he was scared and trembled. Unexpectedly, in the end, not only was there nothing wrong with the Chen family, but Lu Kuanghua took the initiative to visit, but no one in the Chen family saw him.

Chen Yunpeng and his wife knew that this was their son's business, and they would not make decisions for their son.

Chen Zhining happened to be in retreat for a few days.

Lu Kuanghua came three times, and he was closed, but he didn't give up, and sent heavy gifts again and again, this time, according to the things on the gift list, the value was as high as 50,000 third-order spirit jade!

But Chen Zhining still refused. Chen Zhining was very short of money, if he really planned to reconcile with Lu Kuanghua, of course he would have laughed at this generous gift, but he had no such plan at all, so he returned it as a matter of course.

And in the past few days, he has been waiting a little anxiously, and he is also in a bad mood and impatient.

There has been no news in the palace for a long time, and He Lao has never asked him to enter the palace again.

After returning from Taixue on this day, Chen Zhining felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and he said cautiously to Prince Shen on the way: "Your Highness, can you tell the queen mother, the Dao array on my body has some ...... after the last use."

Prince Shen was not surprised.

He also had a Dao array on his body, and it was only after He Lao's many adjustments that he gradually reached the best state.

He tried to reassure Chen Zhining: "This kind of tailor-made thing will definitely not fit perfectly with yourself from the beginning." You don't have to worry, Elder Ariga is here, and he will definitely help you modify it to the best state. ”

Then, he smiled slightly and said, "You have also tried it, how amazing this treasure is!"

Chen Zhining smiled: "Yes, it's too powerful." ”

"Don't worry. Prince Shen patted him: "I will tell the queen mother about this when I go back." ”

......

Prince Youshen spread the word in the middle, and the next day Chen Zhining finally received an invitation from the palace.

But this time, it was still the queen's maid who received him, and the queen mother just showed up to say a few words to him, and after some encouragement, she made an excuse to leave.

Chen Zhining secretly wondered, did He Lao arouse the suspicion of the royal family?

He gradually approached He Lao's courtyard, and this time standing at the gate of the courtyard, he could feel the air of decay and death coming from the house. Chen Zhining frowned slightly, and hurriedly walked up, the maid stood still behind, with a shallow sneer on the corner of her mouth, she still had a grudge against Chen Zhining's "contempt".

"Crunch-" Chen Zhining pushed open the door, the room was dim, the windows were blocked by thick curtains, and in the corner, there was a residual lamp like a bean.

He Lao's wheezing voice was like a bellows: "You are here." ”

Chen Zhining turned around and closed the door, and hurriedly stepped forward: "What's wrong with you?"

"Alas, the end is near. He Lao coughed again, very lightly, he didn't even have the strength to cough.

He raised his hand, his skin was as dry as the trunk of a tree, and it seemed that at the slightest touch, his entire body would crumble and go away with the wind.

"Come on, I heard you used the horizontal pressure twice in the world, and then there was a problem with the fit?"

"Yes. Chen Zhining made up a few questions and said them one by one, and He Lao nodded while listening.

"I'll do my best, maybe this is the last time I'll help you adjust. He Lao activated the Great Array.

Outside the door, when the maid overheard Chen Zhining describing the problem, she yawned boredly. She didn't know anything about the formation, and it didn't make much sense to listen to it.

The light of the large array lit up, completely isolating the inside and outside, and the maid still felt that she could monitor the two inside, in fact, what she heard was only what He Lao wanted her to hear, and what she saw was only what He Lao asked her to see.

Chen Zhining helped the crumbling He Lao: "How are you?"

He Lao sat down with a gasp on his face, his face full of resentment: "I'm going to die." In fact, I should have died ninety years ago, but the royal family still needs me and can't let me die, so all kinds of elixirs and heaven and earth spirits are piled up one by one, and I have survived for another ninety years!"

"I have dedicated myself to the royal family for 90 years, and I have endured 90 years of rootless humiliation!"

"And now, I'm completely out of it, and Yellowstone has found a new candidate, so I was given up without any suspense. ”

When he said this, he paused for a moment of silence and looked in the direction outside the palace: "My child is already in the middle stage of the Absolute Fusion Realm, if he can still have resources to support him, he may be able to get a glimpse of the Heavenly Realm!"

"But I got the news that a month ago, the royal family had completely abandoned the care of my family. He was struggling in Beijing and was ready to move out of Beijing. ”

"Do you know what that means?" asked He Lao sharply.

Chen Zhining knew that He Lao was not targeting him, but he was resentful in his heart. And he was also sad in his heart, he nodded, and said: "I know that the royal family will send people to rob and kill halfway, completely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and put an end to the possibility of leaking secrets!"

He Lao Lao burst into tears: "This is the royal family's reward for me!

Chen Zhining shook his hand vigorously: "Since the royal family has already let you live for an extra ninety years, why don't you continue? Cultivating a new formation master is costly and risky, even if it is successful, it will have to wait for another few decades." (To be continued.) )
