Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight quietly crossed the towering city wall and cast a brilliance on the dragon chair in the Golden Palace.  The early dynasty was already a culture, a culture that symbolized the emperor's diligence.  But in fact, emperors of all dynasties understood that this form was of little use.  A truly diligent emperor can handle government affairs even late at night, while a foolish emperor can only change his sleeping place even if he goes to court every morning.

    "Yawn! If you have something to do, leave the court if there is nothing!"

    The emperor is not in a good mood today because he had a nightmare on Mudan¡¯s bed yesterday. He dreamed that Mudan suddenly picked up a dagger and stabbed him!  So this is obviously the slogan shouted by the eunuch and he recited it himself.

    Yu Huatian, who was waiting on the side, had a wry smile on his face and said to the Manchao Wenwu in the hall: "My lords, please don't be stunned."

    As soon as these words came out, many ministers recovered from their surprise. The Taifu and the Eighth Prince on one side looked at each other and shook their heads, seeing a little helplessness in each other's eyes.  After all, they are all young officials who have recently taken office. The emperor's occasional convulsions actually made them lose their temper for so long!  It seems that there will be some training in the future.

    "I am reporting to the Emperor that I have my own secrets."

    The emperor glanced at him and said, "Eunuch Cao, what are you going to do?"

    Cao Zhengchun bowed and said: "Yesterday, both Zhuge Shenhou and Catcher God went out to work, so the security force in the capital was inevitably empty. Our East Factory, West Factory, and the Jinyi Guards are still too busy to protect the security of the capital, and even more so for the frequent large and small cases.  It¡¯s beyond our reach ¡Ï¡ôWei Chen, please make a decision early to avoid the pressure of security!¡±

    Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms and looked at the ministers below and said, "Dear ministers, do you have a good candidate?"

    The ministers looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. The most taboo thing for emperors in the past dynasties was to form cliques for personal gain.  You can tell who belongs to who by just speaking once in the court.  So this first opportunity is often important.  There is just an opportunity for temporary replacement.  There is no need to expose one's faction.

    Seeing that everyone was speechless, the emperor looked at Cao Zhengchun again, "Eunuch Cao, does anyone have a candidate?"

    Cao Zhengchun hurriedly replied: "Wei Chen recommends someone. The Eighth Prince has always been responsible for directing the affairs of the Jianghu. He has a lot of knowledge about the working style of the people in the Jianghu. Most of the cases that the Shenhou Mansion and the Six Gates are responsible for involve  He is a man of the world, so Wei Chen thinks that the Eighth Prince is a suitable candidate."

    "Oh? Uncle Eighth Prince?" The emperor said and looked at the Eighth Prince, his eyes full of inquiry and hesitation.

    Seeing this, the Eighth Prince hurriedly said: "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, although I am not as perceptive as Chashen and Zhuge Shenhou, I must do my best. I will not disappoint the Emperor."

    "What do you think?" The emperor asked again, and as expected, several recent officials agreed.

    The emperor nodded calmly and said: "Uncle Eighth Emperor has already worked hard in directing Jianghu affairs, how can I bear to let him work more? Forget it, I will go back and think about this matter for a while before discussing it."  Then he waved to the Eighth Prince and Cao Zhengchun.

    Seeing this, the two people stepped back without any change on their faces. "If there is something going on, leave the court if nothing happens!" Yu Huatian shouted again.

    At this time, the newly appointed Minister of War stood up and said: "Your Majesty, General Li Ruohai, who is guarding the border, sent a document yesterday. He has been guarding the border for a long time, and he has already expired and can return to the court to report on his duties."

    The emperor was startled when he heard this.  "General Li? But General Li who made great achievements in the battle against the Youquan Blood Demon?"

    "Exactly!"

    The emperor nodded, "Yes. I was about to issue a decree to reward him for his merits, so that's fine. Then let's reward him together after he returns to Beijing. I'm sure!"

    The Secretary of the Ministry of War retreated as instructed, but at this moment the emperor suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, how is General Li's martial arts, and is his military strategy superior?"

    The Minister of War once again stood up and said: "Wei Chen has not seen this General Li recently when he took office, but according to the veteran generals in the army, he is excellent in martial arts, loves his soldiers like a son, and is a rare wise general in the army!"

    "Oh? Well, in that case, according to my decree, after General Li returns to the capital, he will temporarily take over the position of commander of the Shenhou Mansion and the six gates." The emperor waved his hand and laughed. The ministers below were speechless and looked at him.  The Eighth Prince's eyes couldn't help but be a little strange.

    The sun gradually climbed higher, and the morning court was over. After leaving the Jinluan Palace, all the ministers dispersed. Shangguan Haitang and Gui Hai caught up with the Eighth Prince in a few steps, "Father, the Emperor seems a little hostile to you?"  Shangguan Haitang's sixth sense as a woman has obviously come true again. This has nothing to do with whether a minister has the favor of the emperor. It is simply the kind of distrust and prejudice!

    The Eighth Prince frowned slightly and scolded: "The Emperor cares about my father's health, so don't make random guesses! Even if he doesn't believe me, he is still the Emperor, and it is not your turn to act arrogantly!"

    Shangguan Haitang lowered his head in embarrassment, reluctantlyTears welled up in her eyes, and Gui Hai Yi Dao felt heartbroken after seeing it.  The Eighth Prince sighed, "Don't say such things in the future." Then he left a little lonely, but Shangguan Haitang and Gui Haiyidao didn't see the fierce light flashing in his eyes.

    "Youyoudon't, you didn't cry?" Guihai Yidao was about to give some clumsy persuasion when he found that Shangguan Haitang suddenly raised his head and looked at the Eighth Prince's back with a frown.

    "Are you lying to your adoptive father?" Gui Hai Yidao looked at her and asked, dumbfounded.

    "Who said that? Girls are made of water, so what's wrong with crying occasionally!" Shangguan Haitang snorted.

    "Then why did you" Before Gui Hai Yi Dao finished speaking, he saw Shangguan Haitang looking at the retreating figure with some sadness, "When I was young, I thought he was God and the most respectable person in the world! But!  As I get older, something seems to be getting more and more confusing to me.¡±

    "What do you mean?" Guihai Yidao looked at her with some confusion. At this moment, he felt that this girl was so far away from him.

    Shangguan Haitang paused and said, "The emperor is a very good person!"

    Guihai Yidao's expression suddenly became awkward, "Youyou fall in love with the emperor?"

    Shangguan Haitang was immediately discouraged when he heard this: "Can you stop thinking so simply? Does praising the emperor as a good person mean you like him?"

    Gui Hai Yi Dao snorted nonchalantly and returned to his usual cold face, "It's because your thoughts are too complicated."

    Shangguan Haitang chuckled and said: "So you are a swordsman, and you like to cut everything in two neatly."

    ""

    Shangguan Haitang stopped talking when he saw him.  He took his hand and said, "Let's go. Today is the day when senior brother comes back from Fuso. Let's go drink together." As he said that, they ran out together. Gui Hai Yida looked at the jade hand holding his cuffs and felt a little dazed for a moment.

    In the Imperial Garden, the emperor picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Shao Yu, who was sitting opposite him, said, "What you did during the morning session was a little obvious today."

    "I know, but you must have read the news that was passed on. Most of Mongolia has fallen, and it won't be long before it's the Liao Kingdom's turn! Only now do I understand why they didn't take action before. They were waiting. Waiting for someone from the past  Opportunities are overwhelming. When the time comes, even if I am wise and clever, I will not be able to turn things upside down!" The emperor put down the tea cup with a gloomy expression on his face.

    Shao Yu continued: "So you want to tell the Eighth Prince and the others that you already know their identities in order to force them to submit in advance!"

    The emperor was silent for a while, "I did have this idea before, but I soon realized that this idea is unrealistic. I couldn't see it before, but now it is basically certain that neither the Eighth Emperor Uncle nor Cao Zhengchun takes the lead in this matter.  Status. There is someone else behind the scenes, which means that they will only act based on the face of the person who is behind the scenes. That is the time to take action. "

    "Then why did you reject Cao Zhengchun's proposal?"

    "Both the Eighth Emperor and Cao Zhengchun are not fools. I am afraid they have already judged from clues that I am suspicious of them. So I have to show it, which can be regarded as showing weakness to the enemy!" The emperor sighed helplessly.

    Shaoyu nodded, "Then why did you give the leadership position of Shenhou Mansion and the Six Gates to Li Ruohai?"

    The emperor snorted and said disdainfully: "They kept gathering people, thinking that I didn't know, but they underestimated their strength. The Minister of War is a member of the Eighth Prince! Although they hid it very secretly, they were still found out.  . I have reason to believe that Li Ruohai, who was recalled by the Minister of War, is also one of theirs! In this case, instead of letting him move freely in the capital, it is better to put him in the Shenhou Mansion and Liumen, so that it can be easily monitored!"

    Shaoyu swallowed the tea in the cup and sighed: "You people, it's really boring to scheming, so I hate making friends with you emperors!"

    The emperor smiled nonchalantly, "By the way, how long will it take for Ling Xiao and the others to come back?"

    "What? I haven't seen him for just two days and I already miss him!" Shao Yu teased.

    The emperor shook his head, "I just feel that the enemy's power is huge, and if it lacks top combat power, it is likely to suffer!"

    "Don't worry, with that person's strength, I can barely deal with him for the time being. If it doesn't work, I'll use the last resort!" Shao Yu rarely became serious, but the method he gave was a bit unreliable.

    "I hope so, but I still find it hard to believe that King Miao had already speculated on the matter to this point before anything was clear! Did he just rely on guessing because of his luck? Or is he really as good at predicting things as he is?  What a grown-up!" There was something in the emperor's words.Jealousy.

    Shao Yu rubbed his chin in a funny way, "In troubled times, there are always monsters who cause harm to the world, but troubled times are also an era where heroes emerge in large numbers. Extremely powerful and outstanding intelligence! Troubled times are their stage. On the contrary, we old guys are the real ones.  The one who should quit!"

    "You say it as if you are in a bad situation. I used Ling Xiao's incident to send Zhuge Zhengwo and Catching God out. On the surface, only the Baolong clan is the only one with strength. At this critical moment, you can't be a coward!  "The emperor said with wide eyes.

    Shao Yu curled his lips, "I have my responsibility. When the disaster comes, I can't only protect you. But I think the Baolong clan is very trustworthy. Since those two boys in Fengyun ate Long Yuan,  His strength has grown by leaps and bounds. Dongfang Sheng has also passed the most difficult level after risking his life in training. Although Shen Fu prefers doing business, he is good at stabilizing the situation. As for the Ling Ling Fa series, hehe, you can entrust him with important tasks.  !¡±

    "You don't need to tell me that I understand this, so I basically don't let them take action recently, just for fear of exposing their strength. But if the enemy comes to a fairy-level master, I'm afraid they won't be able to watch it enough!"

    "Then let's use our trump card. Even if a master at the immortal level cannot win, he can still ensure his invincibility!" Shao Yu shrugged nonchalantly.

    "Oh, this feeling of passivity is really unpleasant. I finally managed to support the Ji family. Now here comes another wave of people! Am I destined to be abused?" He stood up and walked out.

    "What are you going to do?"

    "Go find Peony to vent your anger!" The emperor waved and left without looking back.

    Seeing this, Shaoyu shook his head and sighed: "You know there is a problem but you still can't stop! Emotions. What a fucking thing!"

    ¡­¡­

    "Hey. You know what? I feel the malice in this world!" Ling Xiao walked forward slowly with his shoulders slumped.

    "Haha, why do you say that?" Foyin wiped his sweat with some embarrassment.

    Ling Xiao raised his arm and pointed casually in all directions, "Who told me that Wuzhishan is easy to find?"

    The undulating barren mountains formed a large expanse within sight, and the wind and sand mixed with the dry air slapped hard on the face. Even with the veil on, one could still feel the pain.

    In front of me, everything is dim. I don¡¯t know how long the drought has been here. It is obviously located in the south, not far from the sea.  But this desolate scene feels like being in the desert of the west.

    Wuzhishan is a place where you can tell its shape just by hearing its name, but only when you arrive do you realize that there are not only five fingers here, but dozens of them!

    "Can you tell me, among so many undulating hills, which five connected into one can be considered the Five Finger Mountains?" Ling Xiao sat on the ground depressedly.

    Foyin scratched his bald head in annoyance and was speechless for a moment. Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to sit on the ground and look for other methods.

    At Ling Xiao¡¯s request, they accelerated their pace.  The place that would take at least five days to reach was reduced to three days by these experts.  It's just that everyone was dumbfounded after arriving. The terrain here is too complicated!  Everyone knows that what they are looking for is an old temple and a Buddha statue.  But even if you fly into the sky, your view will be blocked by the mountains.  Even if the search is spread out, it will take at least half a month until everyone's blanket search is completed!

    Ling Xiao was newly married, but he didn¡¯t have time to waste with these guys, and for a while he hated Foyin.

    Xu Xian looked serious, looked around and affirmed: "The climate here is so abnormal, we can basically conclude that the location is not far from here, but it is hidden. If you can find it casually, you won't have to hide it for so long!"

    Ling Xiao rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Nonsense! Of course such a special place must be carefully hidden, but that bald ass Fahai just told you the location but didn't tell you how to enter! Do you think he was kidding me?"  If you can¡¯t find him again tomorrow, I won¡¯t serve you anymore!¡±

    "We are all here, and we are just one last step away. Do you want to give up?" Foyin said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.

    "Shit! You don't even know where the entrance is, so you dare to let us take risks. Who knows if there is any danger in Wuzhi Mountain? How do you feel at ease!" He said, taking out the horns and banging on the stone hard, "  And you, why are you so virtuous as the long-browed jade pendant? You won¡¯t come out without knocking, right?¡±

    A ray of red light shot out from the horns, and the corner of Red Boy's mouth twitched: "It's useless for you to call me out. Except for my father, my mother and I have never been to Wuzhishan. This was the place where my uncle suffered.  How could we possibly get here?"

    ¡°You¡¯ve never been here, but you must have heard of it.¡± Ling Xiao asked unwillingly.

    Hearing this, Honghai'er lowered his head and thought of something: "It doesn't matterWeird, it is said that the Five Fingers Mountain was transformed from the palm of the Buddha, full of the power of compassion and infinite vitality!  It should never be such a desolate scene.  "As he said this, he looked at the endless barren mountains around him.

    When everyone heard this, their hearts moved, Xu Xiandao: "So the reason that caused the loss of vitality in Wuzhishan is still at work?"

    "Then can we investigate this?" Ma Xiaohu, who followed, asked.

    "How to find out? By the way, aren't you a mountain god? What insights do you have about this place?" Ling Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked at Ning Caichen.

    Ning Caichen scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "According to my understanding of mountains, the older the mountains, the more spiritual energy they have and the easier it is for souls to be born. And as a mountain, even if the climate is not good, it is difficult to be desolate. Because  Mountains can absorb spiritual energy from the earth's veins to continuously repair themselves. This is the so-called natural earth nourishment. But the mountains here are different. All their spiritual energy seems to have been destroyed. No, it should be that even the earth's veins have been destroyed!"

    "You said destruction instead of blocking?" Ling Xiao suddenly interrupted.

    "Yes, it's destruction. I can't absorb any spiritual energy from the ground here. All I have is endless death!" Ning Caichen shuddered as he spoke.

    Hearing this, Ling Xiao suddenly stood up, closed his eyes and felt with his heart. Seeing him like this, everyone waited without saying a word.

    The dry sand and dust could not block Ling Xiao's perception. A huge and majestic aura enveloped the entire sky.  In Ling Xiao's perception, this aura was red, like blood.  Desolate, ancient, and eternal, but the endless murderous intention makes Ling Xiao, a murderer, feel frightened!

    Everyone watched Ling Xiao walking forward slowly. Although Ling Xiao had his eyes closed, he was unswervingly avoiding rocks and ditches as he walked.  Because in Ling Xiao's perception, murderous intentions were everywhere, and these murderous intentions destroyed all the spiritual energy, except for one place.  There, among the mountains, there was a green light full of vitality that was flickering in and out. There was even a little Venus flashing through the green light!

    ????????????????????????????????????Everyone walked forward behind Ling Xiao, and the more they walked, the more frightened they became. Although it was still the dim yellow color and the endless mountains and rocks, what greeted them was the humid air!

    "Hiss!" Finally everyone exclaimed in unison, Ling Xiao opened his eyes, there was a vast lake, and on the shore of the lake was a desolate and dilapidated old temple!  (To be continued)
