In the afternoon, the lead clouds of Chang'an City hung low and fell goose feather snow, and at dusk, the sky was dark and dull, like midnight, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.
This is the third day that Liuyuan has been blocked by Qimen Dunjia, and the news has already spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, and it has also become the most sensational news in Fubu at the moment.
All the gambling houses in the city have opened markets, betting on how many more days Willow Garden will be blocked.
You must know that the owner of Liuyuan today is no longer a dart bureau, but the mansion of Wang Shichong, the Duke of Zheng Guo, who is expected to become the first powerful minister of the Great Sui.
Diao Xiaosi summoned a group of women named Huazi and Qinglou to sing day and night, begging and scolding, and regarded the majesty of the Guogong Mansion as nothing, which was simply a loud slap in the face of Wang Shichong.
Everyone knows that it is impossible to give up with such a naked provocation of the Guogong Mansion, so there will be a good show to watch next. But when a good show is staged, it depends on which of the two sides who sing on stage runs out of patience first.
Of course, everyone couldn't help but wonder why such a big thing had happened, and the forbidden army that stayed in Chang'an City did not move for three consecutive days? Qu Tutong, the general of the right guard of the forbidden army of the Dao Dao, and Diao Xiaosi, who had earlier been known as the commanders, were old friends, but now General Qu was ordered to be transferred to Hedong and replaced by General Zuo Yiwei, who was in charge of the Yin Shishi. This person has a very close relationship with Zheng Guogong Wang Shichong, and there is no reason to ignore and stand by.
There are also Shangshu Weixuan and Jingzhao Chengyi of the Criminal Department who stayed in Chang'an, these people miraculously lost their voices collectively, why?
On this night, when everyone was suspicious, in front of the Zuo Yi Guard Office in Chang'an City, three thousand elite soldiers in silver armor and murderous armor had quietly assembled.
General Zuo Yiwei sat on the BMW "Wu Cry Night" with a solemn expression, once again inspected his subordinates, and said in a voice as cold as snowflakes falling from the sky: "Wutong, your department will launch tonight, sweep and seize all Qinglou Le Fang in Chang'an City before dawn, and all those who participate in the troubles in Liuyuan will be captured together!"
"The last general has the order!" replied a short, stout Forbidden Army general.
The Yin Shishi's tone did not change, and he continued to order: "Ma Qi, you led people to copy the Chang'an Gang, if you encounter resistance, you will be killed. When the time comes, the dawn will come to me!"
"The last general will be ordered!" another middle-aged general received the order in a deep voice.
"Ge Daoxiong, you're in charge of tonight's curfew. Whoever does not have a document issued by the General's Office will be arrested. The Yin World Master looked at a weak and delicate young general and said, "Pay special attention to the surroundings of Yong'an Fang, not a single bird is allowed to fly in!"
"Yes!" Ge Daoxiong bowed down and clenched his fists, repeating the order in his mouth: "Not a single bird is allowed to fly in around Yong'an Fang!"
Yin Shishi nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "The others wait, follow General Ben and set off to attack Yong'an Fang in half an hour." It's time to stop those stinky flowers!"
"No!" the three thousand forbidden soldiers shouted in unison, and the huge sound shook the snowflakes and the west wind trembled.
At this time, on a secluded street a few miles away from Zuo Yiwei's office, an old dervishes monk with a staff quietly appeared in Chang'an City, walking barefoot in the snow.
Not a single snowflake had fallen on his robes, and they were as clean as if they had just been roasted over a fire. There was no trace of time on his jade-like face, only the silver hair fluttering on his chin slightly revealed his age.
Alone and slowly, he walked down the street, across four streets, and at the other end of the road was Yong'an Fang.
For many years, he has not been to Chang'an, and the situation in front of him has become strange and familiar.
Since returning from Tianzhu practice, he has closed the dead pass in the Bodhi Pagoda on the golden top of Emei, and finally successfully broke through the ninth level of the "Dharma and Buddha" more than half a year ago, and realized the true meaning of the great consummation of "the heart is the Buddha, and the heart is the law".
However, with good news comes bad news. In the few years that he devoted himself to retreat, the monk Jianyong, a disciple who accompanied him day and night, suddenly died in the wilderness of Jiangzhou.
It is rumored that he was plotted by the rebellion of Buddhism Seven Jiro in one night, and finally became a heroic man and blew himself up Danyuan.
As a master who has been followed by Jianyong for many years, he has always scoffed at such rumors, and has targeted his revenge on a little scoundrel named Diao Xiaosi.
It is said that this person is not only the "master" of the fortune operator, but also humiliated the monk Jianyong in public at the treasure appraisal conference in Taiyuan Duoyunxuan. Such scum cannot be tolerated by Buddhism.
It's a pity that when he left the customs, Diao Xiaosi had already fallen into the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, and his life and death were unknown, and this account could only be put on hold temporarily.
It wasn't until two days ago that Zheng Guogong's youngest son, Wang Xuanshu, ordered someone to fly the sword to pass the book, and he knew that Diao Xiaosi was not only not dead, but even more emboldened, trying to blockade the Guogong Mansion with the Qimen Dunjia Array.
This is really an old hatred, and a new hatred is born again - just half a year ago, Wang Shichong's eldest son Wang Xuanying worshiped under his own door and became a closed disciple, and it is very likely that he is the future Shamen Protector of Ci'en Temple.
Now Diao Xiaosi has done a lot of evil to besiege Liu Yuan, attracting a lot of noisy trouble from Huazi and prostitutes, not only hitting Zheng Guogong's face, but even his Jinding monk's face is also hot!
Therefore he came, with only one purpose - to cut off cause and effect, just tonight, at the time of the hour!
He raised his eyes slightly to look into the depths of the white snow mist, and the lonely and wide streets silently stretched forward in the night. At the end of the road, the archway of Yong'an Fang stands quietly in the heavy snow.
He lowered his eyes and continued to trek through the snow step by step, leaving two deep footprints behind him.
At the bottom of each footprint, there are wisps of gold flowing and seeping, and finally turning into two ancient Tianzhu characters.
On the left is the "Buddha", on the right is the "Dharma", and high in the center is his unique Zen heart......
Just three miles and twenty-seven feet and five feet away from this Zen heart, there was a person standing motionless on the white roof like air in the heavy snow.
Looking down from here, half of Chang'an City can be seen at a glance. She could even see the faces of the dirty, coquettish, or gloating people around every beating bonfire in Yong'an Fang.
The Chang'an Great Array was already in tatters, and the only power it had was to suppress the unjust souls who had escaped from the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, and it no longer had any restrictive effect on the top masters of the Demon Gate who had forgotten her feelings.
Otherwise, no matter how capable Diao Xiaosi was, it would be impossible for him to set up a formation outside Liuyuan, because the qi of the formation would inevitably trigger the reaction and conflict of the Chang'an Great Array.
She received the news three days ago and rushed to Chang'an City from Luoyang early this morning.
The news came from the Blood Moon Dharma King Yamamoto Seven and Eight, and the most important content was that the remnant of the Star Sect who had the Tianluo Astrolabe actually escaped from the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.
As one of the four great Dharma Kings of the Secret Moon Demon Sect, the New Moon Dharma King is naturally duty-bound, and he must take down Diao Xiaosi and seize the Tianluo Star Disk before the others make a move.
However, in the secret letter of the Blood Moon King, he emphasized that he did not need to rush to make a move. Because the Venerable Master Jin Ding, one of the four holy monks of Emei Ci'en Temple, has personally gone out to solve this trouble with the power of Buddhism in the name of righteousness.
Therefore, what the New Moon Dharma King had to do was just to stay on the periphery and prevent anyone who tried to rescue Diao Xiaosi from approaching Yong'an Fang, and if necessary, he would not hesitate to reveal his whereabouts and identity.
"Why do you want such an arrangement, it's so boring-" She looked at Yong'an Fang in the depths of the wind and snow, and complained softly in a sweet and regretful voice: "I'm really curious about the smell of that young man, but it's a pity that Yamamoto doesn't allow it." This guy ......."
She shook her head slightly angrily, not understanding why the Sect Master had repeatedly cared for the need to follow the advice of the Blood Moon King before sending her west to Middle-earth. Speaking of which, he is also the King of the Crescent Moon, and he is not much worse than that guy Yamamoto in terms of seniority.
So now, she could only stand like a fool on a high place, looking at Yong'an Fang from afar, waiting boredly for the prey that might or might never appear.
Suddenly, her apricot eyes slowly bent into two good-looking Eyue, and her full red lips were slightly upturned, outlining a thrilling beautiful smile, and she murmured, "It's finally begun." Is that Wang Shichong's youngest son? It looks good, you can consider using him as a substitute for my supper tonight......"
I saw that the gate of the Willow Garden, which had been closed for three days and three nights in Yong'an Fang, opened at this moment, and Wang Xuanshu walked out in a loose brocade robe, as if he was a young man in a turbid world.
The boiling voice immediately stopped, and countless eyes focused on his face in surprise or excitement, nervousness or curiosity.
At this time, outside the main gate of Liuyuan, it almost became a super market. There are not only beautiful women in Qinglou performing songs and dances, small merchants and hawkers setting up stalls to sell goods, but also live gambling games and a group of gamblers who want to witness the results with their own eyes. Of course, it is also indispensable to call Hanako who beat gongs and drums and the exaggerated warm couch placed at the door.
Wang Xuanshu slowly walked towards the warm couch, walking extremely slowly with every step, ignoring the strange eyes of everyone around him with a smile, and only staring at Diao Xiaosi fixedly.
Diao Xiaosi patted the empty seat next to the warm couch and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, do you want to sit down and have two drinks together?"
Wang Xuanshu stood still, his feet only one foot away from the formation seal curve drawn by Diao Xiaosi.
He smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't dare to disturb Diao Gongzi's Yaxing." I just came out to say hello to you, and thank Diao Gongzi for taking care of Liu Yuan in the past three days. β
Diao Xiaosi waved his hand and said: "The family doesn't speak two words, don't you say that? Don't worry, I will still cover you." β
Wang Xuanshu raised his head and looked at the dark and dreary sky, and the heavy snow fell on his clothes and hair, crystal white.
"A moment later it will be the time of the child," he said, looking up at the night snow, "and the snow should stop." β
Diao Xiaosi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes, the snow should stop." Do you know how much money did I spend in the past three days to help you invite so many people to cheer you on? I had to pay them double every night, and the price of snow doubled at onceββ"
He looked at Wang Xuanshu with tears in his eyes, and said bitterly: "That's all white silver - enough for you to buy a thousand mansions." If you don't open the door and let me in, I'm going to go bankrupt. What a miserable tragedy that is, it will kill people!"
The cold light in Wang Xuanshu's eyes flashed suddenly, and he said slowly: "Then it depends on who is dying!"
Diao Xiaosi was stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Who do you say will die?"
Wang Xuanshu didn't answer anymore, straightened his body and stood quietly in the snow, facing Diao Xiaosi in the air.
"It's so cold...... Diao Xiaosi suddenly shrunk his cold neck, and sighed affectionately.
The snow was silent, and the night was getting colder and colder.
