Today, it is a good day for Duan Tianfeng, the lord of the country! At this point, he has recovered all the territory of Dali, and now he has regained control of the rivers and mountains and reigns over the world. Early in the morning, he led the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to the Taimiao Temple in the eastern suburbs to hold large-scale celebrations and sacrifices to celebrate this day of jubilation.www.biquge.info

At the same time, there is an important thing, that is, to go to Taimiao to take out the "Evil Sword", hand it over to Nanjian and take it to Jiangbei, in order to maintain the justice of the rivers and lakes, and assist the Giant Shark Gang to destroy the copper-faced people of the evil party in the rivers and lakes!

However, just as the emperor came to the gate of the Taimiao with the civil and military officials and the purple-clothed swordsman Nanjian, Han Tao, the Qintian priest who was in charge of the Taimiao, came to pray in fear:

"Qi Qi Sheng, just now the old minister opened the door of the temple, inspected the belongings, and found that the evil sword was gone, but there was a note left on it, saying that if you want to borrow the evil sword, please go to Taihang!" As he spoke, he bent down and bowed the note with both hands and handed it to the emperor.

Emperor Duan Tianfeng took the note and looked at it, and recognized the handwriting, so he sighed uncontrollably, "Rebel, you're messing around again!" he said angrily, "It's really unreasonable!"

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other and were shocked. And the purple-clothed swordsman Nan Jian on the side immediately asked:

"Your Majesty, do you know who this person who stole the evil sword?"

"yes! I know who he is. I saw Emperor Duan Tianfeng frowning, and said leisurely, "He is my eldest son, Prince Duan Zhengchun, he is now cultivating in Taihang Mountain;

"Could it be that the prince stole this sword with ulterior motives?" Nanjian asked again. ”

"Hmph! He said, "It's not for that entangled affair with children!"

Seeing Nan Jian's dazed face, he said again:

"Eighteen years ago, the crown prince at that time, like your current age, was in his prime, full of spirit, and he was also a man who could be literate and martial in the palace. However, he and Siyun's mother Xiangxiang are brother and sister who grew up together. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly folded his hands solemnly, and continued:

Unexpectedly, this rebel has always loved Xiangxiang deeply. However, since I have accepted Xiangxiang as a righteous daughter, they are brother and sister, and they should treat each other as brother and sister, and cannot have this kind of non-dividing thought; fortunately, Siyun's mother Xiangxiang has always regarded him as her eldest brother, and she has long been in love with Ren Daxia and Ren Feiyun, and she has made a private decision for life! However, my rebellious son, but can never understand this reason; therefore, he left the palace with anger and said goodbye, until later, I learned that he went to Taihang Mountain, where he became a monk and became a Taoist!"

"Your Majesty, then according to what you say, the younger generation has to hurry up to Taihang Mountain and meet the prince!"

"Ahem, don't go!" Emperor Duan Tianfeng still said indignantly, "It's good if I send a few capable guards to arrest him back!"

"The emperor is angry!" the purple-clothed swordsman Nan Jian said again, "Maybe the prince has his reasons for this, after all, he is still your son, the prince of Dali, and maybe, after the prince sees his niece Siyun, he will change his mind, but I don't know!"

"It's fine!" said the Emperor with a nod at last, "Since you insist on going, I will let the Golden Guard and the Dragon Guard take you with you." ”

"The emperor's kindness, the younger generation understands it!" Nan Jian said, "At present, the country is new, and it is the time for you to employ people, Your Majesty, so we won't trouble the two adults to send each other." After all, with me by my side, I can keep Siyun safe and sound!"

Therefore, the emperor nodded and looked at Nanjian approvingly, "Okay, be careful on the road!" he said, "If you encounter difficulties on the road, ask someone to bring a letter, and someone will be sent here to deal with it immediately." ”

So, that day, Nanjian and Ren Siyun walked together. They bid farewell to the emperor Duan Tianfeng and the civil and military officials, went straight out of the palace gate, and came along the main road to Taihang Mountain.

When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty accompanied Emperor Duan Tianfeng to stand in front of the palace steps, and watched Nan Jian and Ren Si walk out of the palace gate and go up to Taihang Mountain, Han Tao, the priest of Qintian, suddenly had a full face, and his brows were deeply furrowed. Therefore, the emperor asked:

"Han Aiqing, the current civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are overjoyed, but why are you so worried?"

When Han Tao asked, he was sincerely afraid, "Your Majesty, there is something that the old minister has not told you yet!" He bowed down and said, "I implore Your Majesty to cure the old minister's sin." ”

"Tell me about it!" the emperor said, "Han Aiqing, you have always been strict and cautious, I have never seen you derelict your duties, how can you say that you are guilty of crimes!"

Han Tao sighed, "Here's what happened, Your Majesty!" he said, "In the middle of summer last year, one day, the thief general Fikto came to the Taimiao Temple with dozens of military academies and showed off his might, saying that he wanted to visit. This person has always been fierce and tyrannical, and he is powerful, and this Weichen has no choice but to open the temple door and let him enter the temple to visit!"

When the emperor heard this, he was shocked, "This is the place of worship of the ancestors and ancestors of the Dali Kingdom, and it is sacred and inviolable," he hurriedly asked, "Did the thief Fictok do anything to desecrate his ancestors inside?"

"That's not true!" Han Tao said, "but when he walked up to the evil sword, he suddenly stopped, grabbed the sword and looked at it, and asked me, what is the significance of this sword here?" Unexpectedly, the thief general listened to it and did not care, and parted, and forcibly took the sword away. ”

"It turns out that the evil sword was taken away by him!" the emperor asked in surprise when he heard this, "Then why did you just say that it was the prince who left a note and stole the sword?"

"Your Majesty, it's true that the crown prince stole the sword and left a letter!" he said, "This is different from the thief forcibly taking the sword away from Fiktor." I beg you, Your Majesty, to listen to me. Later, the old minister was deeply disturbed, so he went to the faint king Long Keduo to tell him about it, and he was very angry when he heard it, and immediately ordered me to go to the thief to ask Fikto to return the evil sword. But ......"

"How?" asked the Emperor in surprise.

"I didn't expect that this thief would use the world's artifact sword as a barbecue fork in his own home," he said with grief and indignation, "and he was wearing a hanging chicken leg on it, and was roasting it on a charcoal fire." ”

"Ah, this, this, how is this good!" the emperor also cried out in grief and indignation when he heard this, "how can a thief be so boring and so frivolous! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Han Tao said, "The old minister heard that the benefits of the utensils are all in the fire, and after he roasted it like this, I am afraid that the fire of the evil sword has already been lost." Therefore, when Wei Chen unleashed his sword again, he was no longer as brilliant as before! That's it, just now when Nan Shaoxia borrowed the sword, Lao Chen's heart was uneasy!"

"Han Aiqing, are you saying that after this sword was so humiliated by him, his spirituality was completely lost, and he had become mortal?" asked the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Ahem! Perhaps, this is all providence!" Emperor Duan Tianfeng suddenly sighed and said, "With Nan Shaoxia's wisdom and bravery, I believe that he will eventually be able to defeat the copper-masked man and eliminate this great disaster for the rivers and lakes!"
