When night falls, the palace is brightly lit, and no one can sleep. Duan Zhengming sat on the chair, his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking, but his hand kept stroking the sword on the table.

Duan Zhengchun, the king of Zhennan, was left behind by him, and sat peacefully wiping the sword blade, and there were only two of them in the entire study, not even a palace maid and eunuch waiting here. The room was quiet, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it was maddening.

"Brother Huang, is the incident really related to you back then?" Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes stared at Duan Zhengchun with his eyes, and the overwhelming momentum was overwhelming.

Duan Zhengchun wiped his sword's hand, and the white silk cloth was thrown on the table by him, not knowing how to answer. Duan Zhengming had already guessed the result by looking at his expression, but he didn't know how to evaluate the events of that year.

The candlelight flickered on the cold blade of the sword, Duan Zhengchun picked up the silk cloth again to wipe his sword, and after a moment he replied, "Yes." I did participate in the event, but I wasn't the mastermind. ”

Duan Zhengming's expression was stunned, and he hesitated to speak, "Gao Zhisheng." Duan Zhengchun nodded silently, apart from him, who else has the ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain under the eyelids of Dali Duan's eyes.

Gao Zhisheng, first launched a coup d'état to establish Duan Silian as the emperor, with the merit of support, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and then Ping Yang Yunxian rebelled, named the Marquis of Shan, and hereditary, and then ordered his son Gao Shengtai to raise troops to kill Yang Yizhen, and supported Duan Lianyi's nephew Duan Shouhui as the emperor, that is, the father of Duan Yanqing.

Duan Zhengchun thought for a while and said, "I can't tell you what happened back then, the only thing that is certain is that Gao Zhisheng died inexplicably. Duan Shouhui committed suicide, Duan Yanqing disappeared, and finally Gao Shengtai made his imperial brother emperor. ”

Duan Zhengming was silent, he was not stupid. But he was benevolent, so he still asked, "Brother Huang, why didn't you sue me?" You know, if I had known about this, I would never have agreed to be the emperor. ”

Duan Zhengchun returned the sword to the scabbard and said coldly, "If the imperial brother is not the emperor, will he still give the foundation of my Dali Duan clan to the Gao family." His words were no longer very respectful, but the truth was as Duan Zhengchun said, and it was impossible for Duan Zhengming to hand over the throne in his hand to the Gao family.

Inside the Imperial Study. The atmosphere became silent, and neither of them spoke, perhaps not knowing what they were talking about. At this time, a little eunuch ran over, and he leaned over to Duan Zhengming's ear. whispered two words.

Duan Zhengming frowned after listening to the little eunuch's return. "It's so late. What is she doing here? Is there something urgent that can't be said tomorrow?" Duan Zhengming waved his hand impatiently, "Xuan her in." ”

The little eunuch was instructed to go and pick up the people. Duan Zhengchun asked curiously, "Brother Huang, what's wrong." Emperor Baoding straightened his clothes, and he looked at Duan Zhengchun. "Princess Zhennan is here, and she brought two people with her. ”

"Dao Baifeng, what is she doing here?" Duan Zhengchun called his name directly, thinking that this kind of political marriage would not have much affection for him. Think back to the past. And how much sincerity.

Duan Zhengming won't care about his imperial brother's family affairs, but since she brought someone over late at night, there should be very important news. "Brother Huang, I don't care about your family affairs, but I don't want your feelings for her to affect state affairs in the future, after all, she is still the princess of Zhennan and Duan Yu's biological mother. ”

Duan Zhengchun listened to Emperor Baoding's stern tone, and couldn't help but feel a little weak, and immediately changed the topic and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the imperial brother, you must pay attention in the future." But for now, let's hear what she's up to. ”

Duan Zhengming glanced at him and couldn't help nodding his head. At this time, Dao Baifeng led Ning Weijun and Xia Butu in, only to see her salute respectfully, "Minister, I have seen the emperor." Long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”

Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming's expression was slightly shocked, the woman in front of her actually regarded herself as a minister, and it seemed that she still couldn't integrate herself into this family in her heart. Duan Zhengming looked at Dao Baifeng, who was leaning over and saluting, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but there was nothing to show on the surface.

"Brother and sister, please get up quickly. Duan Zhengming said politely, but his eyes were always fixed on the two people beside her. If Dao Bai Fengli is thoughtful, then the people who came with her didn't take him seriously. “

Duan Zhengming looked at the two of them and didn't say anything, but Dao Baifeng pulled them, but Ning Weijun and Xia Butu didn't care about her, and they didn't care about Duan Zhengming. I saw Ning Weijun take a step forward and clench his fists, "You are the emperor." Let me ask you, do you know Zhong Tao?"

Duan Zhengchun's face was furious, and he erected, "Bold, I didn't kneel when I saw the emperor, and I actually talked to my imperial brother like this." Xia Bu's eyes widened, and he glanced at Duan Zhengchun contemptuously, "Who are you?"

Dao Baifeng opened his mouth to explain, "He is my father-in-law, Duan Zhengchun, the king of Zhennan. Ning Weijun nodded lightly to indicate that he knew, and stopped Xia Butu, "Brother Xian, don't worry about him." As he spoke, he took out something from his arms and threw it to Duan Zhengming.

Duan Zhengming took a small token and couldn't help but be startled, he stroked the pattern on it with his own hands, and his body instantly left its original position. Duan Zhengming stepped out of the chair and saluted with both hands, "Zhengming, a descendant of the Duan family, see the envoy." ”

Duan Zhengchun's expression was stunned, he didn't know why, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?" Duan Zhengming's eyes signaled, "Brother Huang, don't be rude." Back to the envoy, the minister really didn't know Zhong Tao and his person. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Duan Zhengchun looked even more incredulous, the imperial brother actually claimed to be a minister. Dao Baifeng was also stunned, she didn't expect this to be the result, what kind of identity did the two people in front of her have, could it be that they were envoys from the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise how could Duan Zhengming pretend to be a minister.

"Huh?" Ning Weijun didn't believe Duan Zhengming's words, he stared at Emperor Baoding suspiciously, "Impossible, everyone who comes will pass by your Dali royal family, how can you not know." ”

Duan Zhengming's face was bright, and he explained, "Back to the envoy, the minister was newly enthroned twenty years ago, and the original incident did not leave any clues due to a fire. At that time, the old emperor was killed by the ministers, the prince disappeared, and the ministers could ascend the throne in fear, so Erchen really didn't know. ”

Emperor Baoding held up the token, "Immortal Changchun, the lord of the emperor." The minister swore that everything he said was true. He was afraid that the two envoys would not believe him, and he also made an oath.

Duan Zhengchun also understood when he heard this, and he finally knew why Duan Zhengming's attitude was so good to them. Those are the two sentences above the Duan ancestral teaching, "Immortal Changchun, the lord of the emperor, the god of the world, I am the only one." "Ancestor Duan Siping is an inner disciple of Bulao Mountain, Bulao Mountain helped him create the entire Dali, if it wasn't for Xiaoyaozi a hundred years ago, Bulao Mountain Changchun Valley, Duan's dominance is the whole world.

Duan Zhengchun left his seat and knelt respectfully, the imperial brother could not kneel as the emperor, but he couldn't. "The minister offended Tianwei, and I ask for your forgiveness. However, Xiao Chen may know Zhong Tao's whereabouts. ”

Ning Weijun and Xia Butu were already disappointed in Duan Zhengming, who had rebelled against the upper position, but they didn't know that there were people who knew the information they wanted, and they couldn't help but look at Duan Zhengchun in unison, "King Zhennan, do you really know?"

Duan Zhengchun bowed his head and said, "Back then, the minister was fortunate enough to participate in the rebellion of the powerful minister Gao Zhisheng, so I know one thing, Zhong Tao should be the current Zhong Wanqiu of the Valley of Ten Thousand Enemies." ”

"Zhong Wanqiu?" Ning Weijun muttered to himself, he really couldn't understand that as a disciple of Immortal Mountain, he actually changed his name. "What's going on in the Valley of Ten Thousand Hatreds?"

Duan Zhengchun hesitated for a moment and then said, "I don't know the specifics, but I think it should be the gang created by Zhong Tao in order to avenge the revenge of the prince of Yanqing, when the old emperor died and the prince disappeared, no one knew what happened at that time." ”

Xia Butu didn't care about this, he directly ordered, "Sue me, where is the Valley of Ten Thousand Enemies, we will go in person." If it's true, we'll naturally reward you. You can even be elected as a peripheral disciple of Mount Immortal and embark on the martial arts path from now on. ”

Duan Zhengchun was not happy, but his face was ugly, Ning Weijun observed his words and knew that things were not as simple as he imagined, "What, is there anything wrong?"

Duan Zhengming didn't dare to hide it, he told the cause and effect one by one. Ning Weijun stretched out his hand to take the two letters and read them, and after a long time, he was furious, "Bastard, he actually interfered in the secular world." ”

Xia Butu interjected and asked, "Who is the person who wrote this letter?"

Duan Zhengchun looked at the letter, "It's Pan Dao, the new head of the Wuliang Mountain Wuliang Sword Sect, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. ”

Ning Shejun and Xia Butu glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes. They looked at Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun, and comforted, "We will help you deal with this matter, Zhong Tao's matter is not Laoshan's matter, and we will be responsible." At the same time, they said, "Now, take us to the Valley of Ten Thousand Enemies at once." ”

Duan Zhengming was overjoyed, with the addition of the two masters, their chances of winning increased greatly. Everyone in the world says that one anger is a red face, and one is a champion and a blood sweeps the world, but now, an anger is Changchun, and the blood is boiling to fight against ten thousand enemies.

Ning Weijun and Xia Butu looked calm, their eyes raised their eyes in the direction of Wan Qiu Valley, but how did Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun know that the joy in their eyes was not for Zhong Tao at all, but for Pan Dao, who wrote the letter. (To be continued......)
