The moon and stars are scarce, and the palace is deep.

The main hall of the Lu Guogong Mansion was pitch black, and the only remaining place was still flickering.

Next to the lamp, Yu Wenyong was concentrating on reading the papers.

He has broad shoulders and long arms, and his body is majestic, just sitting quietly gives people the feeling of being as stable as a mountain, and his face is less than ten full of calm atmosphere, and the eyes that scan the text have a burning essence from time to time.

It was nearly the middle of the night, Yu Wenyong finally finished reading all the documents, and couldn't help but get up and come to the pavilion in the backyard, looking up at the cold moon of the nine days, and his thoughts were inexplicable.

In fact, he knew very well that it was the same whether he approved or did not approve those documents just now -- and now at a time when Yuwen was leaning towards the government and the opposition, appointing private individuals, and people were superfluous, even if he distributed the documents that he had carefully approved, it would be difficult to implement the government affairs in them.

In this turbulent situation between the north and the south, only the military power is the first, and the official power is secondary, and the fact that the head of the Ministry of Industry is in an awkward position and has no real power.

Originally, he was the emperor's younger brother and the title of Duke of Lu, but in fact, even if he stayed in the official position and waited for death, no one said much, and he followed Yuwenhu's wishes.

But he had to worry about the lives of his own brothers, including the emperor, and he didn't dare to give Yuwen Hu any excuse to dismiss or belittle him......

"Hoo ......"

A cool breeze blew.

Yu Wenyong suddenly felt that the hairs on his body stood on end, and his vest was like being pricked by needles, so he immediately turned around and struck out with a palm without hesitation, meeting the attacking white fist.

"Peng!"

Energetic exclamation.

Yu Wenyong fell back three steps like an electric shock, and the red glow on his face flashed.

Looking up, a dashing scholar dressed in a black Confucian costume on a white background came into view. Yu Wenyong said in a deep voice: "Who is Your Excellency?" Why trespass on our house? Assault on Ben Gong?"

Shi Zhixuan, who was wearing Pei Ju's vest, smiled faintly and said leisurely: "Pei Ju in Xiahedong, I have heard for a long time that Lu Gongwen and Wu are both complete and eloquent, so I came to visit!"

Yuwen Yong frowned and said, "Hedong Pei's ?...... Since he is a member of a famous family, he should be proficient in etiquette, and if he wants to visit his father, why not enter the house in a dignified manner. Sneaking in at night?

And such a sneak attack on my father-in-law is not a gentleman's doing!"

Shi Zhixuan didn't care, and said slowly: "If you come to visit openly in the name of Hedong Pei's family, I'm afraid that Duke Lu may not dare to see it, right?"

Yu Wenyong's eyes flashed, and he asked knowingly, "Why did Pei Gongzi say this?"

Shi Zhixuan said in a deep voice: "Lu Gongmingzhe's self-preservation, Taoguang's strategy of cultivating obscurity is clever, but it is inevitable to turn away those who are willing to work, so weak, when can we eradicate the sharp and clear the Qing Dynasty?"

Yu Wenyong sneered: "Listen to Pei Gongzi's words. Could it be that you are here to serve the public?"

Shi Zhixuan said pleasantly: "Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away!"

Yu Wenyong was slightly surprised in his heart. But he was very vigilant, and his face was still unmoved: "Pei Gongzi was born in a famous family, and he can be an official in the shadows, if he wants to seek high-ranking officials, he can also recommend him to His Majesty or Jin Gong (Yuwen Hu)."

Why does the son have to come to play tricks on his father-in-law at night?"

Shi Zhixuan was not surprised, "In the abruptness of coming down, it is common sense for Lu Gongxin to be just below...... paused, and suddenly said in a shocking voice: "Lu Gong doesn't know, Duke Jin has decided to poison His Majesty and turn Lu Gong as the emperor!"

Yuwen Hu's expression was shocked, and his eyes flickered.

In fact, he has already vaguely guessed about this matter, originally Yuwen Hu set up His Majesty as the emperor, precisely because he liked His Majesty gentle and elegant, but His Majesty was not as cowardly and incompetent as Yuwen Hu imagined, and gradually revealed his wisdom and ability in handling affairs, and gradually gathered a group of old ministers and fathers around, and was committed to enriching the country and enriching the people, and his prestige among the people was also increasing, and he was faintly feared by Yuwen Hu.

A few days ago, Yuwen Hu seemed to be sincere in holding a court meeting of "returning to the emperor" and returned all powers except military power to His Majesty.

The shrewd people all suspected that this was a temptation by Yuwen Hu to capture the old man, but they didn't want His Majesty to take power, so they took it all, which already caused Yuwen Hu's suspicion and uneasiness.

Over the years, Yuwen has been in power to protect the army, poisoning the emperor, and abolishing the establishment without permission is not the first time......

In the blink of an eye, Yu Wenyong had already believed the news for six or seven points, but he said calmly as before: "The Duke of Jin has always been loyal to the country, how could he assassinate the king?"

Pei Gongzi must not believe hearsay, and this father-in-law has never said what he just said......"

Shi Zhixuan only softened his words, and knew his true intentions, so he didn't answer at this time, but smiled and said: "In the next little bit of the art of observing people, I see that Lu Gong does have the appearance of an emperor today."

However, the Duke of Jin was in power for one day, and even if Duke Lu ascended to the throne, he was just a puppet for a day, but he violated the act of disobeying the Duke of Jin, and immediately followed in the footsteps of the two brothers.

May I ask Lu Gong, how can you be willing to do it?"

Yu Wenyong's cheeks trembled, and he smiled without a smile: "Pei Gongzi is serious." ”

Shi Zhixuan nodded with satisfaction, and exclaimed: "Lu Gong's words and deeds are not leaky, and if he is well versed in the art of the emperor, he will rule the world on Monday, and it will be just around the corner."

In this way, I have strengthened the heart of serving Lu Gong and making contributions!

However, it is also clear that now Lu Gong is in the situation of not using the hidden dragon, and it is difficult to accept it......

Three years and five years, I can afford to wait!"

Yu Wenyong's complexion changed, and he finally said without saltiness: "Hehe, Pei Gongzi can look down on his father." ”

Shi Zhixuan knew that conspirators and politicians had a thousand turns in their stomachs, and they were honest and kind in their mouths, so this time they only needed to leave a deep imprint in his heart, and they didn't force too much, so he said: "Originally, I had been secretly observing Lu Gong for a year, and today I joined Lu Gong's command, so I should secretly protect Lu Gong in the next half a year, and I urgently need Lu Gong to successfully ascend to the great treasure......

Unexpectedly, there was something in the lower division recently, and he was summoned to go back as soon as possible, and this time he said goodbye, at least three years, and at most five years, it was difficult to return to Lu Gong's side......"

As he spoke, he took out a delicate gold coin from his bosom and threw it to Yu Wenyong before continuing: "This is a token. If Lu Gong has something to summon, he is here. You can send someone to send this token to the hands of my uncle Pei Su. I'll be here as soon as possible!

Farewell!"

After the words fell, he bowed, turned around and walked towards the courtyard wall, the gold coin was just a piece of gold he made casually, even if Yu Wenyong threw it away, it would not be a pity, but the secret hand attached to it took him a lot of effort.

Yu Wenyong suddenly spoke: "Brother Pei, stay ......" Shi Zhixuan turned around and looked at him quietly when he heard this.

Yu Wenyong said meaningfully: "What Brother Pei just said, he has secretly observed this father's years, but this father has never found out, it is conceivable that Brother Pei's martial arts are extremely profound......

That's right. Why didn't Brother Pei directly take action to get rid of the people who abused power and hegemony, brought disaster to the country and the people, and returned the Great Zhou to a prosperous future?"

Shi Zhixuan waved his hands and sighed helplessly: "If you have the opportunity to fight alone with that person, you will fight to the death to eliminate this big trouble for Lu Gong."

It's a pity that that man has a strong soldier in his hand, and he is escorted by a large number of masters and hundreds of armor soldiers when he enters and leaves, so how can he not be wise enough to hit a stone with an egg and send him to death in vain?"

Yu Wenyong suddenly said: "A few days ago, Emperor Gao Yang of Northern Qi was assassinated, and I heard that it was the master of the Demon Gate Mending Heaven Pavilion. I don't know if Brother Pei has a way......"

Shi Zhixuan stared at his expression tightly, "Let Lu Gong be disappointed...... I don't know this demon master. And I suspect very much that this person may not be from the Demon Gate.

There is a slight description of the various factions of the Demon Sect in the Pei clan, and it has been more than a hundred years since the lineage of the Heaven Replenishing Pavilion has been cut off, how could a supreme master suddenly appear?

There is quite an intriguing thing here, Lu Gong must not trust the people in the Demon Gate!"

Yu Wenyong arched his hand and said, "Thank you Brother Pei for reminding me!"

Shi Zhixuan arched his hand and said: "Duke Lu take care, I will say goodbye!"

Yu Wenyong stretched out his hand and led him falsely, "Brother Pei walks slowly......"

Shi Zhixuan turned around with a smile, took a few steps slowly, and then jumped up, swept across the air several times, and disappeared into the darkness, as if heading towards the courtyard wall.

Yu Wenyong held the gold coin he left in his left hand with two fingers, put it in front of his eyes and looked carefully, only to see that the gold coin was delicate and delicate, one side was engraved with a plum blossom, and the other side was inscribed with four seal characters in yang script.

"'Through Heaven and Earth'?...... Hehe, it's not a small tone!"

After jumping out of the courtyard wall, Shi Zhixuan walked around the perimeter of the courtyard wall for a while, and when he reached a remote corner, he stood still in the darkness, staring intently, as if sensing something from afar.

After a while, Shi Zhixuan suddenly smiled, turned over and sneaked into the courtyard wall.

Bathed in the moonlight and closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Yu Wenyong finally sighed deeply, walked back to the bedroom, and recruited several elite guards to guard the door and guard the night......

Lying on the couch, Yu Wenyong's fingers unconsciously rubbed the gold coin, and fell into contemplation again.

This night, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time, until most of the night passed, and then fell asleep vaguely.

However, the strange thing is that Yu Wenyong is still holding the gold coin tightly in his hand.

After a moment, a figure flashed silently from under the bed, and approached Yu Wenyong faintly......

In his sleep, Yuwen Yong's ears poured into a tsunami of mountains and mountains, high at the head of the Jinluan Palace, he was wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, looking down on the ministers, His Royal Highness's right head is the cousin who makes him jealous and even afraid, the Jin Kingdom Gongyu Wenhu, and the first person on the left wears a purple dress and a Zaifu official veil on his head, which is actually the Pei Ju who has only seen it once before......

In the early hours of the morning, Yu Wenyong was woken up by the guards, got up to freshen up, and prepared to go to court, what made him a little strange was that he was obviously sad last night and slept late, but at this time he felt energetic, physically and mentally energetic, and ready to move.

However, thinking of the sweet dream that made him have endless memories, he secretly muttered: This is a day and night?...... Or is there a great task from heaven, and there must be a harbinger?

Could it be that Pei Ju, who is really the minister of the humerus of his father?......

Running through the wilderness with the bloody sword, Shi Zhixuan's face hidden under the hat could not hide his tiredness, his lips were slightly pale, and his eyes were dull, as if his spirit was quite consumed.

In his past and present lives, he had been exposed to and studied spiritual secret techniques such as soul transfer, mind control, and sound illusion, but in fact, he only relied on his strong spiritual power to perform roughly, and he still failed to give full play to his transcendent spiritual and primordial spiritual cultivation.

And this time, he has obtained the most proficient cultivation and the magic of the imperial envoy's spiritual power in this world, even if he has not condensed the demon seed, he can also learn from the various subtle methods of the imperial envoy's spiritual power in the magic trick, and completely exert the subtle and subtle spiritual power of the Dao fetus he condensed.

The only thing he didn't expect was that even if he pried open a gap in the spirit of a master who had just entered the innate realm in advance, disturbed his state of mind, and carved a brand, when he really started to interfere with and infect his mind, he realized that the mental energy consumed was so huge.

The spirit and spirit were implicated in each other, which made his Dao fetus seriously consumed and sluggish.

According to this calculation, if you want to plant demons for people, or even for a righteous person with a firm Zen heart, the essence and spirit consumed can be described as huge, far from being supported by ordinary god refining masters, at least you need to refine the qi and transform the gods at a high level or even a perfect cultivation.

And the act of wantonly planting demons for ordinary martial artists or ordinary people, and then harvesting their essence and spirit, I am afraid that it can only exist in fantasy - ordinary people or ordinary martial artists whose hearts have not been able to touch the innate primordial gods, there is no bridge for people to invade the primordial gods from the heart, and the demon planters will not be able to harvest their innate primordial spirits, and can only harvest some innate and acquired essences.

Originally, Shi Zhixuan was going to establish a secret contact with Yang Jian and his wife, but thinking of Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wu of Zhou, who was about to ascend the throne of the emperor, was still at a low point in his life due to Yuwen Hu's **** suppression, so he turned to Yuwen Yong to burn the cold stove.

After all, the coming era is the era of Yuwen Yong, and then it is the era of Yang Jian, and now Yuwen Yong is the biggest potential stock, and Yang Jian is not.

Shi Zhixuan secretly thought that cooperating with the next courtiers was better than directly betting on the next monarch, and this monarch was still in a state of "no defense".

It's a big deal to secretly maintain a good relationship with Yang Jian in the future, the ship in Yuwen Yong is about to rot, and then replace it with Yang Jian's boat......

This time, he carved a spiritual imprint on Yu Wenyong's body, which is similar to the commonly known 'soul locking technique', although Shi Zhixuan consumed a lot, but he also felt that it was worth the money.

From now on, unless Yuwen Yong himself also condensed into a Dao Fetus or Demon Seed, he would always be in Shi Zhixuan's unilateral spiritual induction.

It's a lot to say that the distance is too far, but at a close distance of less than twenty or thirty miles, Shi Zhixuan can clearly feel Yu Wenyong's mind and spiritual changes as long as he concentrates on it.

In a face-to-face state, Shi Zhixuan was even more able to unconsciously cast simple illusions such as spiritual suggestion and verbal suggestion on him by Yu Wenyong, and the success rate was basically close to nine out of nine.

The most important thing is that every time Yu Wenyong sees Shi Zhixuan in the future, he can't help but have a good impression and trust in him, just like Shi Zhixuan has opened a cordial aura for him, or is it non-consuming and time-limited......

Different from after planting demons, it is likely to affect the character and temperament of the furnace ding, and it is possible that the Taoist heart and Zen heart of the Taoist Buddha will sense the malicious evil spirit of the demon seed.

Such a seemingly chicken-ribbed soul locking technique, precisely because of its slight effect, will not affect the target's heart and temperament, nor will it be detected by the Taoist Buddha, but is the most secret and safe.

Walking all the way day and night, sneaking back to the dense forest of Bashu Qingcheng Mountain, Shi Zhixuan changed again, changed back to the identity of the 'Great Virtue Monk', Shi Shiran went out of the dense forest, stayed overnight in the Dashi Temple again, and set off to return to the south the next day.

This trip to the north has gained a lot, but what can really directly help him in his cultivation is only the half-volume magic trick obtained from Xiang Yutian and the few heavenly magic tricks that he has spied from Lou Zhaojun.

As soon as he sneaked back to the backyard of Qichun Building, Shi Zhixuan met the delicate and lovely Zhang Lihua, and in a good mood, he approached the past with a smile, "Sister Lihua, don't come to harm?"

Zhang Lihua's face turned cold as soon as she saw him, and she was about to walk away with a twist of her delicate body.

Shi Zhixuan remembered that he had laughed at her washboard figure, offended her fiercely, and grew up in the atmosphere of the Qinglou, the little girl didn't understand anything, it should hurt her self-esteem.

At that moment, Shi Zhixuan was familiar with the past and hugged her little waist, regardless of her struggles, while maintaining an intimate posture and leisurely going upstairs, he whispered: "Haven't you always wanted to be superior to the innate secret book, I will get a suitable ...... for you this time"

Somehow, as he spoke, Shi Zhixuan remembered the double * cultivation * mending method in the inner Dan technique of the side gate, and couldn't help muttering secretly: Now that she is too young, build a foundation for her first, and it will be suitable for her in a few years...... (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm guilty, it's windy and rainy today, I'm going home late, I don't have enough time, I'll make up for it tomorrow......
