Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Shadow of the Palace

In the cold corner of the Jinluan Hall, a man in a white robe and a mask slowly appeared.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the man, only to see that the man's eyes were wandering and introverted, and it was really difficult for people to see through what he was thinking.

Not too formal, Duofeng just arched his hand slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the method that Master Kong said is indeed steady, but Duofeng thinks that it is better for us to wait and see what happens, it is better to take the initiative and control the overall situation." ”

"Oh!" Zhu Kangjing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly came to his senses: "What is Mr. Duofeng's plan?"

Duofeng said lightly: "This border war is actually a rare opportunity, the emperor can send troops to go, and the more the better." ”

"Why is that?"

Everyone didn't dare to speak, but Kong Bi had no scruples, and said bluntly: "The border pass is the chassis of the Yasukuni Army, and we won't be asking for hardship when we go!"

"No, no, no. ”

Duofeng shook his head and said, "The first soldier is the first to fight, and the second is to fight the army." If he didn't have the certainty of victory, he would never go to war for no reason, and he would be in danger at the border. You can think about it, the flames of war at the border pass have resumed, and the Yasukuni army is too busy to take care of itself, so where can it spare its hands to deal with the imperial army? Therefore, the emperor can send troops to go this time, not only to go, but also to go with great fanfare, so that everyone in the world knows that the imperial court did not send troops to conscript the Yasukuni army, but to guard the border passes. In this way, we will be able to become famous, take advantage of the situation to enter the border, and regain the initiative. ”

"Okay! What a famous teacher, take advantage of the situation to seize power!"

Zhu Kangjing stood up abruptly: "If the imperial court is flaunting the banner of righteousness, what can the Yasukuni army do? I want to take the lead, how can Zhang Fengyi and other thieves be the enemies of the imperial court......!"

"The minister is here. ”

"Spread my will, and order the general Taishu Yuan of Fuwei to return to Beijing to see me immediately, and I will discuss the border matter with him. ”

"Your Honor. ”

Kong Bigong stepped back, a hint of jealousy flashing in his heart. I think that Uncle Tai was only twenty years old, but he was only the last in his life, but he was able to win the trust of the emperor and control the military power of one side, which was much stronger than him, the secretary of the military department.

Of course, Kong Bi is not the only one who has this idea, but those courtiers who have a little bit of a city government will not easily show their attitude.

......

After the performance, Tang Hanming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood out of the train and said: "Start the emperor, the Criminal Department has finished sorting out the 167 sentences and 362 laws, please review the emperor." ”

At this time, Zhu Kangjing's heart was happy, and he nodded with a smile: "As the so-called state has national law, it is the foundation of the establishment, and if there is no action, it will be wasteful, and if there is no excess, it will be chaotic...... The "Ming Criminal Law Order" made by Tang Qing's family is a classic that benefits the people, and it should be a great merit for future generations!"

"The Emperor has won the ......"

Tang Hanming hurriedly knelt down and said: "The "Ming Criminal Law" is the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors, and Weichen can only get the guidance of the emperor to successfully integrate many laws into one canon. If you want to talk about merit, the ministers are not as good as the ancestors, and even less than the emperor, the emperor is really a great favor to the world!"

"Hahahaha-"

Zhu Kangjinglongyan Dayue: "Meritorious ministers deserve to be rewarded." I will not forget Tang Aiqing's merits, and on the day when the "Ming Criminal Law Order" comes out, I will reward my merits. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live—"

The ministers knelt down and bowed down in unison.

At this moment, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the first assistant of the cabinet, Lord Qin, asks to see you." ”

"Isn't he receiving envoys from the Three Kingdoms?"

Zhu Kangjing frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Xuan him in." ”

The ministers got up, walked into the court quickly, bowed down and said: "Old minister Qin Yu, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live......

"Flatten. ”

Zhu Kangjing took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Qin Shoufu, you came to me in such a hurry, did you encounter any difficulties?"

Qin Yu didn't get up, but lowered his head and said in a sad tone: "The old minister is guilty, please punish the emperor." ”

"As soon as he comes, he pleads, this old fox is really cunning. ”

The ministers secretly slandered their stomachs, and Zhu Kangjing said lightly: "Qin Shoufu has something to say, the sky can't fall." ”

Qin Yu's expression froze: "Back to the emperor, the old minister was ordered to receive the envoys from the Three Kingdoms, who knew that he was suddenly attacked on the way to Beijing......

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked, but only Zhu Kangjing and Duofeng didn't react much.

If someone dares to make trouble in the capital, will they not regard the imperial power as if it were nothing! The meaning of this is even more intriguing......

"Go on. ”

Zhu Kangjing's expression was indifferent, but Qin Yu was secretly frightened.

Since Zhu Kangjing ascended the throne 10 years ago, the whole person seems to have changed. Even an old fox like Qin Yu couldn't tell what the other party was thinking.

Retracting his thoughts, Qin Yu said respectfully: "The assassins are all black-clothed, with no obvious features, and their martial arts are extremely high...... The guards of the Imperial City were no match at all. Fortunately, all three emissaries were accompanied by masters who eventually pushed the Assassins back. ”

Zhu Kangjing said playfully: "What is the situation of the Imperial City Guards and the three envoys now?"

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thirty-five people were killed and two hundred and sixty-four were injured in the Imperial City Guard. And the three messengers, except for Aida, who was slightly injured, everyone else was fine. ”

The world dares to commit murder, this is not an ordinary accident.

As a result, the emperor's decree was issued to change the defense of Kyoto, and the relevant ministers were punished according to the "Ming Penal Law Decree", which had not yet been officially promulgated.

All of a sudden, the imperial dynasty was strictly prohibited, and everyone in the civil and military affairs introspected themselves.

......

――――――――――――

Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

Zhu Kangjing sat cross-legged on the bed alone, surrounded by purple gas, like a divine dragon, with teeth and claws!

Half an hour later, the purple qi converged, Zhu Kangjing slowly opened his eyes, and the purple glow of his eyes flashed.

"Come out. ”

"Congratulations to Brother Zhu for taking his magic skills to the next level. ”

Without any warning, a figure appeared in front of Zhu Kangjing's eyes out of thin air...... Dressed in red and wearing a hideous mask, he looks like a demon from hell, exuding a bloody chill all over his body!

Zhu Kangjing was calm and calm: "How can you get into the eyes of the incinerator with a small technique?"

"Brother Zhu is too modest, the "Purple Dome True Dragon Jian" is an ancient treasure coveted by the emperors of the past dynasties, even our lord is very envious, and it is not a small skill. ”

Under the mask, the firebringer smiled, and the cold aura gradually dissipated.

"Say, do you have something you want to bring to me?" Zhu Kangjing stood up, and the power of the emperor was undoubtedly revealed.

The Flame Messenger frowned, and said, "Yes, the Lord asked me to bring you a message, the news of Li Yuefan has been spread on the rivers and lakes, let you find and prepare." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Kangjing was stunned: "Didn't your lord say that Li Yuefan might be dead?"

"Just because you might die doesn't mean you're definitely dead. Moreover, the rivers and lakes only spread the news that there was him, as for whether he was really dead, no one knew except for a young man named Qi Mingyou. ”

At that moment, the Flame Messenger explained everything that happened on the Lotus Peak in detail, and finally concluded: "I think that Li Yuefan has not shown up for ten years, but the news of him suddenly came out, there must be some twists and turns in this. ”

“......”

Zhu Kangjing pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "Okay, you go back and tell your lord, I will send someone to check the news of Li Yuefan, as for the young man named Qi Mingyou...... Keep an eye on him first, and don't touch him for the time being, lest anything go wrong. ”

The Burning Flame Envoy didn't care about the tone of the other party's command, and nodded lightly: "The Hidden Forest Conference, the Venerable Lord invites you to go with you." "Anyway, the man is gone.

"Your Majesty, the Hidden Forest Conference, do you really plan to go in person?"

When the firebringer left, Duofeng's figure appeared in the shadows.

Zhu Kangjing clenched his fists tightly, and then let go: "We are all chess pieces in the hands of the demons, what if we don't go?"

"The Demon Gate is powerful, and the Hidden Sect retreats. In this Hidden Forest Conference, the Demon Gate has a great chance of winning!"

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have cooperated with them. However, whoever can have the last laugh will be the winner. ”

"After the matter is completed, I hope that the emperor will not forget what he promised to Duofeng. ”

"Of course. ”

Chapter 30: Border Emergencies (1)

"Cangtianjian":

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs.

Angry and relieved, I want to ask the sky.

What is a human being, how is it a life, what is death, what is suffering, how is helplessness, how is it letting go?

He said: Man is a living being, ending with death, the sea of suffering is not bitter, there is too much helplessness, let go of the heart, and the proof is as it comes.

......

The killing on the battlefield is boundless, there is only a fight to the death, and there is no retreat.

In the pool of blood, the bodies that fell one by one wrote an unyielding soul.

Life is fragile, life is even stronger, and faith exists in everyone's heart.

O all the living and dead warriors...... A hundred years later, when the sun is shining again, when the mountains and rivers are beautiful again, when life is beautiful again, when people recall the past......

By then, your lives will all have meaning!

......

The man swore to kill the arena, drank and danced with blood.

The snow is all over the sky, and a book of Dan hangs down for eternity.

......

――――――――――――

Three generations of Jinghua, two dynasties of important towns. The dangers of the world are all here.

At this time, Datong City was heavily guarded, no one traveled in the streets and alleys, only patrol teams alternately came and went, and the whole city was shrouded in haze.

The Tatar soldiers pressed the border, and the coming momentum inevitably made people a little nervous.

On the castle tower, a majestic man stood with his hands in hand.

This man was wearing silver chain mail, his shoulders were blood-colored, and his fierce gaze was straight ahead...... A vast expanse of snow white.

The wind blew, the cloak rattled, and the bronzed skin was exposed, revealing a few faint scars.

"This snow, it's so big!"

The man was feeling uneasy, and suddenly his sword eyebrows jumped, and he scolded loudly: "Who is the master? Since you have come to me as a guest, why don't you dare to show up?"

"Ding Dashuai, now it's getting more and more majestic......"

Before he finished speaking, a dark shadow swept over the castle tower and landed directly in front of the man.

The person who came was dressed in black clothes and black hats, wrapped in a black scarf, and did not show any life on his body, as if he was not standing in front of him, but a cloud of air. Such a clever concealment technique is definitely a miracle in the world.

"There's an Assassin—"

The guards of the castle tower were not slow to react, and when they saw a stranger appearing, they quickly prepared for battle, and pointed their silver iron spears directly at each other.

The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere was particularly heavy.

"Stand down, all of you. ”

Ding Dashuai waved his hand, and said with a smile: "We only use knives and guns when dealing with the enemy, and we naturally treat guests with good wine and meat." You go down and get ready, and by the way, inform Marshal Zhang that there is a distinguished guest arriving. ”

"Ordered. ”

The guards on the left and right withdrew their iron guns and retreated, and the heavy atmosphere gradually dissipated.

"Alright, don't come with me for this. ”

The man in black shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and teased: "Others say that Ding Yi is honest and steady, but how do I think, you are loyal on the outside, but you are actually very cunning on the inside, and you are becoming more and more like Long Jun's old oil fruit now......"

"Hehe, Brother Yun has won the award, and I am far worse than Ah Jun. ”

Ding Yi was still smiling, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people the illusion of being naïve.

Ten years of victories on the battlefield have long made the jerky big boy grow into the generalissimo of today's powerful side. But who would have imagined that this brave and resolute Ding Dashuai was once a little beggar who lived by picking leftovers.

Gu Xian Youyun: Heroes don't ask where they come from. This sentence is the most appropriate to describe Ding Yi today.

"Hmph! You kid is really not ordinary thick-skinned!"

The man in black sat down by himself and said slowly, "What is that kid doing Long Jun?"

"I know that. Ding Yi perked up and said energetically: "Recently, Xiaohua and Xiaodou have made up a few powerful things, and he is getting together with those two guys." Hehe, Ah Jun, this kid hasn't shown up for a long time, so I'm not afraid that Princess Jing will have opinions. ”

"I don't have time to talk to you about this nonsense. The man in black said in a deep voice: "The army of the Tatar tribe is pressing the border, what are you and Long Jun going to do?"

"What else can I do, of course, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover ......"

Ding Yi's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Brother Yun has come all the way, do you have any important information to give us?" Hehe, Brother Yun is really a good person, if you have something to do with us, just greet us directly, why bother to lie down in person, how embarrassing it is!"

As he spoke, Ding Yi strode forward and grabbed the other party, affectionately as if he were his brother.

"Get out!"

Three black lines rose on the forehead of the man in black, and he kicked the other party fiercely: "I have the information, but I need money to buy it, you kid don't pretend to be confused with me." ”

At the mention of money, Ding Yi's smile became even stronger: "Brother Yun, now that the war is going on again, the brothers want to buy some equipment, and they are in a hurry to use the money, do you see if you can be tolerant and tolerant? You can rest assured, as long as you have money, we will give you the principal and interest." ”

"Tolerant?you think I'm not tolerant enough?!"

The man in black raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You and that kid Long Jun, the 100,000 taels of silver and 20 jars of "Wine Linglong" that you owe me last time have not been cashed. Why, now you want to play tricks again? I'm telling you, if I don't give money this time, I won't leave!"

The other party refused, Ding Yi's smile suddenly disappeared, and he was replaced with a black face: "Yun Fang, Yun Fang, you are also the head of the Shenji Pavilion, how can you be like this? You need money for everything, I see that you are the same as Ling Tong's guy, and you have fallen into the eyes of money." ”

"I also learned from that kid of Long Jun, besides, you don't compare me to that copper-smelling guy. ”

Yun Fang snorted coldly: "In my Hidden Immortal Valley, there are hundreds of old people and thousands of orphans below, even if I Yun Fang doesn't eat, they can't go hungry. Also, we are all over the eyeliner, those intelligence gathering, activities of consumption...... I count you 100,000 silver as cheap, and you dare to bargain with me, believe ......it or not."

"Enough is enough!"

Ding Yi couldn't bear it, and finally said with a bitter face: "Yun Fang, Brother Yun, Uncle Yun...... Isn't it okay if I'm wrong!, yes, I'll ask Long Jun to raise 100,000 taels of silver for you, and I'll immediately call someone to prepare it for you, right?"

"You kid really doesn't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!"

Yun Fang smiled, patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "That's right, it's a matter of course to repay debts, not to mention, the news I brought this time guarantees that you and Long Jun will be willing to hand over the money." ”

"Idiots will be willing to give money......"

Ding Yi was resentful in his heart, but a smile changed to his face: "Brother Yun, please say, the money is guaranteed to be not less for you." ”

Taking a deep breath, Yun Fangzheng said, "I have news of Brother Li!"

......

Chapter 31 Border Emergencies (2)

"Boom—"

There was a huge earthquake in Datong City, which resounded through the world!

The soldiers in the city were suddenly frightened, and they turned their heads to look to the east, only to see that the sky above the arena was filled with gunsmoke, which made people unable to figure out the truth.

"Boss, is there going to be an accident? Shall we go and see?"

"You kid want to die, don't drag me down! Hua Ye and Dou Ye have explained that it is a forbidden place for all gates, and no one is allowed to enter except for the door master. What's more, now that Ding Shuai is in charge of the city, what can happen? It must be Long Shuai who is making something powerful again. ”

"It's so powerful that it makes my ears deaf, and it's still buzzing. ”

"Okay, let's do our part, and someone will naturally worry about the rest. ”

"That's what the boss said. ”

......

――――――――――――

Over the east of the city, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

In the center of the field, a huge pit was shocking, and the stumps and leaves were scattered around the field, leaving a wolf on the snow-white ground.

"Peng—"

Not far away, the snow pit exploded, and three figures rushed out.

At this time, the three of them were in tatters, with shaggy hair and dirt...... It's just three beggars who are alive.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

With a violent cough, Long Jun took out a mouthful of weeds, and was extremely frenzied: "Grandma's little flower, do you want to murder Young Master Ben? ”

The shorter boy sat down on the snow and said, "Brother Long, I'm wronged, the proportion of materials is configured by Xiaodou, I am only responsible for assembling this big guy, who knew that it would be so powerful?

"Shodoi ......"

Long Jun turned his head, his face hideous.

Xiaodou's heart jumped, and his round face suddenly stood in awe: "Brother Long's ass is twisted, no one is an opponent......; With Brother Long's coquettish body and light skills, how can this little explosion hurt you and the cold hair, even if it can hurt you, it is also a matter of losing two or three cold hairs, and my sister-in-law is very relieved of you...... Moreover, Xiaohua and I will definitely guarantee your safety, even if we die, we will die in front of you, and we will never put your life in danger...... Brother Long's happiness is our happiness, and Brother Long's spring is our spring......"

"Shut up!"

Long Jun's forehead was exposed, and he kicked the other party's round buttocks: "You two lazy guys, if you don't fight for a day, you will go to Lao Tzu to uncover the til......es."

"It is our blessing to be able to stoop under Brother Long's obscenity. ”

The two of them had a flattering smile on their faces, which made Long Jun feel the urge to vomit: "I knew that you were so virtuous, Lao Tzu shouldn't have saved you ten years ago, let you fend for yourself!" Unable to lie down, he had to vent to the sky: "Damn, this is really not a human work, let the little nail taste the taste of being fried next time." ”

"Hey, Long Dashuai's resentment is not low......"

A fluttering voice came, and Xiaohua and Xiaodou were immediately alert, and the smile on their faces receded and replaced with a serious face.

You must know that there is a forbidden place for ten miles here, and no one is allowed to enter except the owner of the gate...... At this moment, an outsider's voice came inexplicably, how could it be surprising?

"The master was depressed and worried that there was no place to sprinkle, and an unlucky ghost just came. Quack!"

Long Junyin laughed twice, and said faintly: "Whether it is a person or a ghost, let the master come out and show his face, otherwise the master will make you have no face to see people." ”

"Hmph! Long Dashuai's tone is not small, what kind of ability do you have, you ......"

The voice stopped abruptly, and he shouted again: "Long Jun, you dare!"

"Fluffy Fluffy Fluff—"

A series of explosions sounded, and the fluttering sound just now was instantly annihilated in the smoke of gunpowder.

......

A moment later, an unrecognizable figure appeared in front of Long Jun and them.

Long Jun looked at the other party and said suspiciously: "Huh!? This person looks quite familiar......

"Well, it's a little familiar. ”

Xiaohua and Xiaodou couldn't help but nod.

"Dragon...... Jun ......"

The man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and his angry gaze seemed to swallow the three people in front of him.

The three of them looked at each other carefully again, and Long Jun suddenly exclaimed: "You, you are Brother Yun!"

"My mother, this is in trouble!"

Xiaohua and Xiaodou glanced at each other, and at the same time sent a signal to run away with Long Jun!

Yun Fang smiled coldly, threw out three rope locks in his hand, and instantly turned the three of them into zongzi.

At this time, the three of them calmed down.

"Brother Yun, I know it's wrong! I'll change it, I'll change it......

"Brother Yun, both talent and appearance, the first in the world!"

"Brother Yun, heaven and earth, omnipotent!"

......

Long Jun hurriedly apologized, and Xiaohua and Xiaodou were even more sycophants!

At this time, Ding Yi came out from behind the tree without saying a word, and looked at the embarrassed four people and laughed.

"Brother Yun, I told you, this kid Long Jun is very crazy now, but you just want to try the law, it doesn't taste good, right?"

Ding Yi ignored the angry gazes of several people, and said to himself: "Ah Jun, you are really, Brother Yun came to us today for an important matter, how can you treat Brother Yun like this." ”

"Peng—"

Long Jun shook hard, the chains on his body shook to the ground, and then pointed at Ding Yi angrily and said, "You stinky boy, you have come here a long time ago and don't say anything, you came to see the master's jokes, right?"

"Don't make a fuss, there's really something big this time......"

Ding Yi perked up, and then threw out a message that shocked Long Jun: "Ah Jun, Brother Yun brought the news of Master." ”

"Master, you mean our Master?!"

Long Jun was stunned for a moment, then his eyes burst out, and his expression was excited: "Master's news?

Seeing his brother's anxious appearance, Ding Yi was deeply touched, so he turned his eyes to Yun Fang and begged: "Brother Yun, you just tell us two first, we are in a hurry!"

"Come here. ”

Yun Fang hooked his finger towards Long Jun, and the latter appeared in front of him in a flash.

......

After a crackling and fat beating, Yun Fang relieved his anger and said: "Ten days ago, a young man named Qi Mingyou appeared on the Lotus Peak in Fuzhou with Brother Li's fierce beast......

"What!?" Long Jun said angrily, "Why did you only inform us about what happened ten days ago?" ”

"Listen to me!"

Yun Fang glanced at the other party and snorted coldly: "We have received the news as early as the first day of the accident, but in order to find out the true origin and background of the other party, we used a lot of resources to go to sea to collect information......"

Long Jun's old face turned red, and he hurriedly asked, "What about later?" ”

"Don't worry, let me start at the beginning. ”

Yun Fang pressed down the other party and said calmly: "As far as I know, the young man named Qi Mingyou is the apprentice of the knife idiot Kou Fei, who was later robbed upstairs and downstairs...... Who knows, ten years ago, he disappeared with Brother Li. I don't know exactly what happened in it, but I'm sure it had something to do with the upstairs. ”

"Upstairs, the master will never let you go!"

Long Jun and Ding Yi clenched their fists, their eyes filled with anger.

Yun Fang continued: "These days, after our secret visit to Liuli, we finally found out that there is an unknown island in the East China Sea, and Qi Mingyou should have lived in it all these years. As for Brother Li, he should have been there too. ”

"Let's go, let's go to Master now. ”

Long Jun was in a hurry, and he said that he would leave, but Ding Yi stopped him: "Ah Jun, you calm down first, now that the battle has just started, we can't do without the two of us in the army, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"I ......"

After ten years of hard work, Long Jun's heart was already as strong as iron, but when he heard the news from his master, he was still difficult to control.

"Although you two boys are a little shameless, you are still affectionate and righteous......"

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the two, Yun Fang couldn't help but ridicule a few words, and then comforted: "Don't worry! When Qi Mingyou comes over, you will be able to know the news of Brother Li." ”

"Are you saying that Qi Mingyou is coming to the border pass?" Long Jun's eyes lit up, and the pores of his whole body were comfortable.

Yun Fang smiled and said, "They're already on the way." ”

"Let's go, let everyone know. ”

Long Jun grabbed Yun Fang and left, and Ding Yi followed closely behind.

In the big open space, only Xiaohua and Xiaodou are left two poor people who have been forgotten.

The rope is added, no one cares, Chu Chu is pitiful, miserable and miserable!

......
