Chapter 173: Battle of the Imperial Capital (Part II)

The morning light is approaching, Kong Yang sits cross-legged in the guest room, the aura of heaven and earth here is thin, perhaps accustomed to the source of the abundant aura of heaven and earth of the body of the iceberg, he can only talk better than nothing, quietly cultivate, and comprehend the Kaiyuan Sutra.

At this moment, Kong Yang opened his eyes and vaguely felt movement outside the door, it seemed that the famous master craftsman invited by the empire had gotten up, and the man who followed was still sleeping soundly in the wing, presumably the master craftsman had the habit of morning exercises.

Kong Yang remained silent, just when the old man walked out of the inn, he quietly came to the opposite street corner, waiting on the old man's road, although it had not yet reached the late autumn season, but the morning was still a little cold, the old man took a few deep breaths, paced slightly to warm up his body, and walked forward.

Kong Yang saw the opportunity, pretended to be lost and walked towards the old man, Kong Yang hugged his fists and said, "Old man, I don't know how to get to the palace?"

"What do young people want?"

"It's not a secret, I heard that there are many masters in the art world gathered in the national capital this time, and the younger generations came from afar, hoping to catch a glimpse of the grand occasion. ”

"Humph!"

The old man snorted coldly and walked away with a huff.

Kong Yang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why is the old gentleman so contemptuous?"

The old man turned his head and looked at Kong Yang with a sneer, and said coldly after half a salary: "The old man and Master Xue are close friends, is it true that a young man like you is going to learn art? ”

Kong Yang smiled bitterly, he was inexplicably wronged, but compared to before, many sons of the family had done such a thing. No wonder the old man in front of him was so excited. Kong Yang couldn't help but touch his face. Do you look like an insatiable womanizer?

Kong Yang hugged his fists and said: "The old gentleman is wrong, the situation in Master Xue's family is not clear to the juniors, and Master Xue's appearance is not clear, where he lives, this time I came to give Master Xue the blade he built, because the capital is too big and I am lost here, I hope the old gentleman will give you guidance." ”

"This is a blade built by the younger generation, because the officers and soldiers are strict. It can only be hidden on the body. Kong Yang said, took out one of the flying swords made of Xuantie and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the blade in his hand in disbelief, and a cold breath leaked out through the blade, and there was a sharp cold light on the blade, which was a rare sword, but the sword body seemed to be uneven, it was really a fly in the ointment, it seemed that the young man in front of him was indeed a genius who forged the blade.

This is also the fact that Kong Yang has just used his aura to quickly bend and pull the blade, otherwise how could there be such a vulgar loophole in the things of the Xuanshi, the old man has already believed most of Kong Yang. Thinking of the bad words to the young man in front of me before, I was really a little ashamed. Scattered, his face was suffocated.

Kong Yang hugged his fists and said: "The old gentleman doesn't have to care, the juniors just hope to be able to follow the seniors to the palace together, otherwise the juniors may not be able to enter the palace." ”

"Don't be a senior, the old man Qian Yue is a craftsman, but you must know that it is really dangerous to go to the palace here, and it is very likely that you will never be able to get out of the palace again, according to the old man's estimate, I am afraid that I will never be able to step out of the palace again in my lifetime." Qian Lao's face was full of sadness and helplessness.

"Why didn't you leave earlier?" Kong Yang couldn't help but suggest.

"The old man's family is controlled by the imperial army, and they must have all gathered in the capital, and the disaster will not affect the family, these imperial troops are really amazing..."Qian Lao sighed and looked around, if he was heard by someone with a heart, he was afraid that something would happen.

In fact, Kong Yang had already discovered that someone was monitoring Qian Lao, and these words were really heard, Kong Yang remained silent, and said with a light smile: "The younger generation pursues forging in this life, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he will not be afraid, Qian Lao, the younger generation will go and bring the luggage hidden under the bridge." ”

"In this case, it would be too hypocritical for the old man to stop it again, okay, Xiaoyou can wait for me in front of the inn over there. ”

"Yes. ”

When Qian Lao left, Kong Yang's body suddenly moved and disappeared in place, and the imperial master who saw Qian Lao in the distance only felt a cold wind behind him, and he had been knocked unconscious before he could react.

Kong Yang pressed his palm on the imperial soldier Heavenly Spirit, and with the power of his powerful divine sense, he forcibly erased the previous memory, as for whether there would be sequelae, Kong Yang naturally couldn't care so much.

When Kong Yang appeared next to Qian Lao again, he had an extra bag on his body, and Qian Lao introduced Kong Yang to his disciple and said: "This is" The old man was suddenly a little embarrassed, and after chatting with Kong Yang for so long, he didn't even know Kong Yang's name, which was really rude.

Kong Yang saw the old man's embarrassment, hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Kong Yang, he is a trainee foundry, please give me more advice." ”

"Wow, Brother Kong, you are also a foundry, so who is the best between you and Master Xue! ”

"If you want to fight, you can fight, why do you kid have an opinion?"

"Don't dare. The man rubbed his aching neck and said aggrievedly.

The three of them set off again, heading towards the palace, and as the sky slowly brightened, there were gradually more pedestrians on the street, and during the conversation, Kong Yang learned that the stout man who followed Qian Lao's side was Qian Lao's personal disciple, named Huo Guang, who was forty out of twenty this year, don't look at it as a little honest, but his eloquence is first-class, especially very proficient in the customs of the imperial capital.

Along the way, Kong Yang listened to it with relish, but Qian Yue looked at Huo Guang very helplessly, Kong Yang thought about it, if Huo Guang took out one-tenth of his energy to study the customs and customs to learn the skills of craftsmen, Kong Yang would have already surpassed Qian Lao.

However, people have their own ambitions, many times the twisted melon is not sweet, finding the path that you like the most and making up your mind to work hard for is the most important, Huo Guang's character also makes Kong Yang appreciate it very much.

In order to show his authority, the emperor built the imperial palace far away from the underground palace, and there was a huge open field in the middle of it to show his authority.

Kong Yang followed Qian Lao to walk on the open ground, and the imperial cavalry constantly came forward to investigate, although Kong Yang was suspicious, but a white-faced boy who was powerless, the cavalry soldiers didn't even bother to make inquiries.

Kong Yang followed the old man to the palace very smoothly, the majestic and magnificent huge building, I don't know how many years it took to build successfully, although the power of mortals is extremely weak, but in Kong Yang's opinion, it has its surprising power, and I have to admit that Xuanshi is also derived from the growth of mortals.

Not as good as the palace, on the one hand, there is a solemn atmosphere, many soldiers with swords and armor are forbidden to move like stone sculptures, guarding the imperial city, Kong Yang suddenly felt a little lucky, if he didn't follow Qian Lao, Kong Yang was about to rush to the palace, it was inevitable to kill, and it was invisibly to save the lives of many imperial soldiers.

Qian Lao was taken to the central square by a eunuch who came out to greet him, and the eunuch smiled at first, but as he walked, his face was full of displeasure, and he began to curse and curse, and kept muttering.

It turned out that these eunuchs were all taking advantage of this to make money, and the master who came was not a wealthy family, and he was not angry when he came to Qian, and he didn't know much about this kind of rule, and he invisibly offended the eunuchs.

The eunuch immediately smiled, his joy and anger were faster than turning a book, Qian Lao reacted at this time, and nodded to Kong Yang to express his gratitude, and Kong Yang returned the salute with a slight fist.

When I came to the square, there were already many masters coming, and all around were the families of these masters, who were standing together, waiting anxiously, seeing Qian Yue coming, a few familiar old men came forward to greet Qian Yue, and Qian Yue also introduced Kong Yang to a few people by the way.

At this moment, a loud horn sounded, and suddenly many guards rushed out from the perimeter, silently surrounding the entire square.

Coming here, Kong Yang knew that it was time to do something important, his eyes were slightly closed, and his divine sense was fully spread, and he walked towards the entire palace.

There are a total of six people, one in the late stage of foundation building, two in the middle stage of foundation building, one in the early stage of foundation building, and one has not yet built the foundation. I don't know which one is Master Xue?"

"It's... I'll help you ask. ”

After a while, Qian Lao returned and said to Kong Yang with a pale face: "Master Xue was captured by the emperor's troops!"

At this moment, a tall man in a python robe walked out with the support of the maid, as soon as the man appeared, everyone knelt on the ground, Kong Yang smiled faintly, and simply sat on the ground, anyway, it was not real from a distance.

The man glanced at everyone, and immediately a soldier behind him moved the golden chaise longue up, and the man said loudly: "I am very pleased that you can come at my invitation, a few days ago, the emperor dreamed that he would build a tall viewing tower and repair the palace, I think you will not let me down." ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, the man's eyes were cold, but they only flashed away, and he said loudly: "Presumably some of you are waiting for the righteous army to break through my Xiongguan and rush to the imperial capital to rule you, what I want to say is that our national teacher has gone to the rebel army station, and he will definitely be able to bring the heads of the rebellious ministers and thieves in the near future. ”

Suddenly, the man's words changed and he said coldly: "And some people actually dare to oppose and question me, you can appreciate and appreciate his fate." ”

Several soldiers moved a huge copper tripod over, and the boiling oil inside kept rising, stabbing sound, and then two stout soldiers walked up to the square with Master Xue, who was covered with blood all over his body, and threw it in front of the copper tripod.

Kong Yang looked at it, Master Xue who was lying on the ground was pale, biting his lip tightly, unwilling to scream, and his eyes were full of unyielding, Master Xue was about forty years old, and he could obtain the title of master at this age, which shows his achievements in casting, Kong Yang always had a hunch that he had a fate with Master Xue in front of him.

At the signal of the emperor, the soldiers set up Master Xue and prepared to throw it into the oil pot. (To be continued......)
