Devil’s Advent

Zheng Fan had been to the Imperial Palace in Yanjing before, and that time, he followed Wei Zhonghe and Eunuch Wei for quite a while.

In fact, the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Yan is not very big. Although the first emperor had expanded the imperial palace because of his greed for extravagance when he was in power, after Ji Runhao succeeded to the throne, he carried out drastic reforms in the use of the imperial palace.

Ji Runhao is not an emperor who likes to enjoy himself. He doesn't like palaces, magnificent buildings, or gardens. Even the imperial meals on weekdays seem a bit simple.

As for women,

To use what Xiaoliuzi once said to Zheng Fan to evaluate,

That's his father, who shouldn't love women,

Because he has always been willing to be cruel to his wife.

This is a cruel emperor, the little six sons have never seen a "machine", if they had, they would describe his father as a heartless machine.

As a concubine in the harem, he doesn't have too many likes and dislikes of his own. When he chooses queens and concubines, he focuses on the family behind the woman. For Ji Runhao, women are a tool symbol in politics and family inheritance.

But for every king, there are always some "romantic anecdotes" that come out, and the common people are also fond of talking about it.

But Ji Runhao didn't, and he didn't bother to make such a tune.

There were two of his wives whose families were wiped out by him.

He once said with emotion after meeting Zheng Fan,

Even if I don't care about my son, can this kid not care?

It's really not just talk.

Tian Wujing's self-destroyed family, the third prince is the tool used by Tian Wujing to vent his grievances, Ji Runhao acquiesced to this deal, and for the "tool executor" Zheng Fan, he still looks at himself from the perspective of "appreciation" of courtiers.

In many romantic dramas, the hypocrisy of "the emperor is ruthless" often appears, but in Ji Runhao, there is no such impurity at all.

at this time,

In the gazebo of the imperial garden,

That is, next to Zheng Fan and Zhenbeihou's roast leg of lamb,

Outside, it's snowing.

Ji Runhao was sitting in the gazebo, opposite to him was an old man in a coat, and there was a chessboard between the two of them, the chess was coming to an end.

Yandi is bitterly cold, even though Tiancheng County is not the northernmost part of Yandi, its winter is still tormenting.

It's just that, this winter, there are too many people suffering, so many people seem to have forgotten the weather.

Inside the gazebo, there was a middle-aged man kneeling, with long beard and eyes closed, as if he was asleep. Behind the man, there was also a young eunuch kneeling there, serving tea and water depending on the situation.

Wei Zhonghe, who has always been inseparable by Ji Runhao's side, is not by Ji Runhao's side at this time.

The white-haired old man who played chess with Emperor Yan was the Minister of Rites of Yan State, and his face was already covered with some age spots.

"Hehe, I lost."

Ji Runhao reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Minister of Rites, Ning Fangsheng cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty's chess strength has already improved."

This is a ruthless emperor, this is also a ruthless emperor, but at the same time he is also a very easy to get along with.

When playing chess with him, you don't have to handicap, and you don't have to deliberately please.

"I made old Ning laugh, but I haven't touched a chessboard for quite a while."

talking,

Emperor Yan looked at the middle-aged man kneeling beside him,

I saw him sitting paralyzed, his eyes closed, his lips moved slightly from time to time because of breathing, listening quietly, and he could still hear snoring.

Although it was snowing outside the pavilion, the surroundings of the pavilion were covered with silk, and there were woolen blankets inside the pavilion, and there were three charcoal basins inside, which can be said to be quite warm.

"Zhao Jiulang."

The middle-aged man trembled, opened his eyes, and muttered with some dissatisfaction:

"Your Majesty, I finally fell asleep."

This middle-aged man is indeed Dayan Chaotang Zaifu.

"These days have also suffered for you."

Yanhuang didn't care about the other party's attitude.

"Suffering is nothing, what I am afraid of is that there is no place to suffer if I want to suffer, and I am not afraid of His Majesty's jokes. These days, although my body is so tired that I am about to fall apart, my heart is full of joy."

"Pretty words, don't say them."

"Your Majesty, you know that I never say anything nice to you."

"Okay, okay." Ji Runhao waved his hand, looked at the Minister of Rites, and said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Ning used to be in Qianguo?"

Ning Shangshu stroked his beard and nodded:

"It made His Majesty laugh. When I was young, I was indeed a little uninhibited."

Qianguo implements the imperial examination system, which is equivalent to the provincial examination.

People from Yan can go to Gan country to take the imperial examination.

All of this has to start a hundred years ago. After the first Marquis of Zhenbei defeated the army of the Qian Kingdom, Ma stepped into the three northern counties of the Qian Kingdom and forced the original Qian people from the three counties to relocate to Yan.

Later, after the war between the two sides ended, Qianguo probably wanted to promote "kingdom" or to expand its influence through "cultural" invasion, so it was stipulated that the children of the original three northern counties could join the imperial examination.

This tradition has been continued, and it has been gradually opened up to the literati of Yan State, regardless of their ancestral home, can enter Qian State to take the imperial examination.

It can be said that the people of Gan country are proficient in other aspects except for force.

But correspondingly, the Emperor Yan of all dynasties has maintained an open attitude in this regard.

One really dared to accept people for the test, and the other really dared to let people take the test.

As for brain drain or not, there is, but someone will always come back.

When Ning Fangsheng was young, he passed the Juren examination all the way in Qianguo, but he didn't go to Beijing to continue the examination in the end.

"Mr. Ning's words are serious. My Dayan didn't have an imperial examination before. This is my Dayan's fault. I have treated a scholar like Ning Lao badly."

"Your Majesty is serious, serious."

Ning Shangshu knelt down immediately.

"That's all, get up, Mr. Ning, what I mean is that next year, when I am going to start the imperial examination, I will ask Mr. Ning to be in charge of running it. Please take back the note that Mr. Ning gave to the scholar.

Mr. Ning is also aware of my temper, and I really don't want to bother with the drama of three requests and three resignations. "

"Minister, for the scholar of Dayan, thank you Lord Long En!"

Ning Shangshu reached out and took his resignation note.

The Ning family is actually considered a powerful family, but it is not a top powerful family, and when the Zhenbei army stepped into the family, they voluntarily handed over most of their land and property, so they were forgiven.

But Ning Shangshu felt that he could no longer be in love with Zhan, so he wrote to resign.

However, since His Majesty the Emperor is going to hold the imperial examination, Dayan is the first to pass the imperial examination in hundreds of years, there is no reason for Ning Shangshu not to continue working in this position, the significance of this event is too great.

In the past, the emperor of Yan Kingdom knew the benefits of the imperial examination system, but the power of the clan was strong, and the imperial examination was tantamount to robbing political resources with the clan.

But now, the problem is solved.

Ji Runhao pointed at Zhao Jiulang, and said with a smile:

"You are also from Huaiya Academy, why didn't you go to the Qianguo examination room?"

Zhao Jiulang smiled and said:

"What are you spending so much time on? I want to do something, but I don't want to be that paperless minister."

Ning Shangshu's face turned red immediately.

The Minister of Rites is the most noble among the six, but also the one with the least real power.

Especially the "etiquette" culture is not valued very much in Yan State.

I went to Qianguo to take the imperial examination, and it is possible to become an official after returning to China, but it is almost impossible to really do something in the government office with real power. After all, the background and position will inevitably be somewhat ambiguous.

Zhao Jiulang's words are undoubtedly slapping Shangshu Ning in the face, but because Zhao Jiulang has great power and prestige in the court, and he has shown a great sense of presence in the process of presiding over the liquidation of the powerful, so Shangshu Ning He didn't dare express any dissatisfaction with Zhao Jiulang's words.

"You, you, can't talk properly?"

"Your Majesty, there are too many things to do, and I don't have the energy to beat around the bush."

"I know you've worked hard."

Ji Runhao stood up,

After he stood up, Zhao Jiulang and Ning Shangshu also stood up.

"Open it."

The eunuch outside immediately lifted the quilt outside the pavilion.

Outside, it was still snowing, but the sky seemed much gloomy this time.

Outside the pavilion, there is a chariot.

Emperor Yan walked on the chariot and sat down.

"Old Ning sit down for a while, the imperial dining room will send ginger soup soon, to drive away the cold first, and then go out of the palace."

After Ning Shangshu saw Zhao Jiulang walking out of the pavilion with the emperor, he knew that he could not say no at this time, so he immediately thanked him:

"My emperor is merciful."

Ji Runhao looked at Zhao Jiulang again, and said:

"The chariot is too small, so I won't pretend to invite you to sit with me."

Zhao Jiulang smiled and said:

"I just took a nap in it, and I just happened to take a walk to relieve my fatigue."

Ji Runhao nodded,

road:

"The Hall of Enlightenment."

"Show the Hall of Qiming!"

The team began to march. The number of people in the team was not large. There were four strong eunuchs in charge of carrying the chariot, and there was another eunuch accompanying them. In addition, there was only Zhao Jiulang.

"Kuro, I'm curious about something."

Emperor Yan sat sideways on the chariot, looking at Zhao Jiulang.

"Your Majesty, tell me."

"The war in the south has been delayed until now. As the prime minister, you didn't mention a word in the court, even in private, you didn't send out a memorial. Why?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I know what my abilities are. I don't understand wars. Of course, I don't ask too much about things I don't understand."

"As Zaifu, you still need to understand a little bit."

"Your Majesty, you are either proficient in anything in the world, or you don't know anything about it. The most fearful thing is knowing half and not knowing half. This is the easiest thing to do bad things."

"Go back and read the military book."

"The minister obeys the order, and strives to chat with His Majesty after reading the book of war."

"You, you."

Hall of Qiming, here we come.

This hall is located in the northwest corner of the imperial palace. During the reign of the first emperor, many new palaces were built. After Ji Runhao succeeded to the throne, they were basically changed into the office of the imperial court. down.

Because that man lives in this temple.

On the steps of Qiming Hall, two young eunuchs were sweeping the snow.

After seeing the emperor's chariot, he immediately put down his broom and knelt down.

the chariot stopped,

Ji Runhao got off the chariot.

At this time, a figure in a black robe appeared at the door of Qiming Hall.

The five eunuchs beside Ji Runhao all knelt down,

shouted:

"I have seen my grandfather."

In this Imperial Palace of the Yan Kingdom, there is only one person who can be called "Grandfather", and he is the ancestor of all the eunuchs in the inner palace.

Even Wei Zhonghe couldn't get this treatment, even if Wei Zhonghe came here in person, he had to kneel and kowtow respectfully.

Zhao Jiulang did not bow down, but bowed down.

The black-robed old man on the steps, although incomplete, has contributed to the entire Dayan.

Without him, there would be no His Majesty Dayan today, and there would be no good situation for Dayan today!

This time, Zhao Jiulang, the prime minister, bowed willingly.

Ji Runhao climbed up the stairs, and Zhao Jiulang straightened up, followed by two steps behind.

When Ji Runhao walked up and stood in front of the black-robed old man, the black-robed old man knelt down,

Great gift:

"Xue Yi, see Your Majesty!"

Ji Runhao didn't reach out to help, but smiled and said:

"Uncle Xue, the Emperor Father once issued an order that you don't need to salute anyone in Dayan."

Xue Yi raised his head and said:

"As it should be."

There is another sentence that Xue Yi didn't say, but Emperor Yan understood it in his heart, this might be the last salute.

"Uncle Xue, are the rice cakes ready?"

"Your Majesty sent someone to tell you this morning. It's time to stick your teeth just after steaming."

Emperor Yan rubbed his hands together and said:

"Then I really can't wait."

The furnishings of the Hall of Qiming are extremely simple. It is said to be a palace, but there are beds, a stage, and a kitchen inside.

On weekdays, Xue Yi would not leave the Kaiming Hall at will.

The steamer on the stove was still steaming, Yan Huang found a futon and sat down, signaling Zhao Jiulang to sit down too.

Soon, Xue Yi came over with two pieces of rice cakes, and tore off two pieces with his hands. One was given to the emperor, and the other was handed to Zhao Jiulang.

"Master Prime Minister, you should try it too."

Zhao Jiulang hastily thanked him and took it. In front of this old man, he didn't dare to take it in the slightest.

Yanhuang tore off a piece and chewed it in his mouth. The cake was very sweet. In fact, nothing was added in it, but it was delicious.

Zhao Jiulang followed suit, and the more he chewed, the more delicious it became. It was indeed delicious.

"Uncle Xue's cake, I will never forget it for the rest of my life. I want to have a couple of bites from time to time. It is the best for breakfast in the morning. After it is steamed, it is served with porridge. It is so comfortable to eat."

Xue Yi said:

"This method of steaming cakes, I have already taught a clever boy below."

From now on, he will make it for His Majesty to eat.

Zhao Jiulang looked at Xue Yi, then at His Majesty, he noticed something, but nothing was wrong, he just concentrated on eating the cake.

"Drink sugar water."

Xue Yi made two more cups of brown sugar tea.

The candy is not very pure, with a lot of impurities, but one bite of the cake, and then one bite of the sugar tea, the taste is really good.

Yan Huang ate most of the cake by himself, and said while licking his fingers:

"I still remember when we were young, what Zhen and Liang Ting liked to do most was pestering Uncle Xue to make cakes for us."

Hearing this, Xue Yi also had a kind smile on his face,

road:

"Marquis Zhenbei seldom ate any good food when he was a child, so he pestered me to make cakes for him."

"I have to take two cakes out later and ask someone to send them to him to taste."

It is winter now, and the cake can be stored for a long time, even if it is frozen hard, it can be eaten after steaming on the stove when cooking.

People in Yan State like steamed cakes most in winter, and it is also a good gift for people during the New Year.

"Yes, yes, I have steamed a lot this time, enough, enough, let your highnesses have a taste."

Your highnesses, of course, refer to the princes of Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan shook his head and said with a smile:

"These brats don't look down on this kind of food. Alas, I haven't had a hard time."

"Your Majesty, isn't the reason why the predecessors endured hardships so that future generations can enjoy happiness?"

Emperor Yan nodded, "Uncle Xue's words are quite correct. The predecessors suffer for the benefit of future generations."

"Crash...Crash...Crash..."

Outside, there was a burst of noise.

Zhao Jiulang looked outside the hall and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, there is hailstorm today."

Emperor Yan stood up and walked to the gate of the hall.

Above the palace, there was a mass of darkness, and large and small hailstones fell down in large patches.

Xue Yi walked up to Emperor Yan, bowed and said:

"His Majesty."

There is no wave on Yanhuang's face,

Slowly said:

"What should come, will always come."

"Roar!"

A low roar came from below His Highness Qiming.

According to legend, in the palace of Yan Kingdom, there lived a grandfather of all the eunuchs;

It is also said that in the palace of Yan Kingdom, there is a Pixiu with the highest bloodline.

"Your Majesty, I have been nourished by Yan Ding for decades, and I have made preparations. I have been worried that I will die of old age before this day.

Blessings of ancestors and ancestors, Your Majesty, you failed to make me wait any longer. "

Suddenly,

In the small square in front of Qiming Hall, more than a dozen eunuchs dressed in red eunuch uniforms appeared.

These big eunuchs are all the talkers of a yamen in the palace, whether they are inside or outside the palace, they are all figures of prestige.

At this time, more than a dozen red-robed eunuchs knelt down together:

"My servant sees His Majesty, and my servant greets my grandfather."

On the palace wall, teams of forbidden troops began to deploy their defenses.

Ji Runhao waved his hand,

road:

"Such a big battle really gave them face."

Xue Yi said:

"Your Majesty, why not give them this face?"

talking,

Xue Yi took a step forward and walked out of the palace gate. A layer of black air began to surround him, and when the hailstones that filled the sky were about to touch his body, they turned into water mist and dispersed.

Emperor Yan stood with his hands behind his back,

Opened the mouth and said:

"Xue Yi, listen to the order!"

…………

"Ah Choo! Ah Choo! Ah Choo!"

The old man sneezed several times in a row,

Then,

With two fingers pinching his nose,

"snort…………"

hand, shake it,

Then wipe it off with your sleeve.

The down-and-out swordsman smiled and said:

"Tell me, if the disciples and grandchildren in the country know that their ancestors came to the Yan Kingdom and almost died of the cold, what kind of expressions will they have?"

The old man glared at the down-and-out swordsman angrily,

road:

"This old man is cultivating the Dao, what do you know, this old man is giving up his own body to seek the Dao!"

"Well, everything you say is right, everything is right."

This is a thatched house in the suburbs of Beijing. The old man sat down cross-legged, and immediately spread his hands.

All of a sudden, eighteen white lotuses rose up in the dark room.

Inside the house, immediately the lotus is fragrant.

"Eighteen white lotuses, seventeen bloomed, why is the other one wilting?"

The old man replied:

"In the affairs of the world, I am most afraid of going too far, and leaving a thread in everything is the right way."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's obviously the last one that won't be able to grow."

"Shut up!"

"I said, why don't you borrow some luck from the emperor of the Zhao family, and at least let you bloom this last lotus flower?"

"Heh, do you think that I can be blessed by the fate of the country to cultivate like the one in the palace?"

"Tsk, this Emperor Yan is also a generous person, he even borrowed this thing, so our emperor seems a bit stingy.

I heard that the one in Yanhuang Palace had saved the lives of Yanhuang's family at the beginning, why didn't you come to me earlier, I will find a chance to assassinate the emperor of our family, and you come out to rescue, if you can't say it, let him go Did you catch up? "

The old man scolded:

"Bullshit, his big swallow is now prosperous in the country, like that boiling water, if you divide it, you will share it. You don't know what our Zhao family emperor looks like?"

The down-and-out swordsman shook his head,

road:

"I only know how to practice swords, but I don't know much about you. I think you're an interesting old man. Is it true that all of you qi practitioners are like this. At the end of your practice, each of you is powerless?"

"It's a natural thing to resonate with the heavens and abandon the mortal body during the whole process of cultivation. Besides, if you stay in the human world, your every action will easily involve cause and effect. Therefore, you should not kill people at will. Cause and effect are easy to entangle and difficult to explain."

"Gossip."

"Just wait and see, we are taking a different path, your sword can kill, but my sword can cut the fate of the country!"

"Okay, I'll wait and see."

After all,

The down-and-out swordsman pushed open the broken door of the thatched cottage, walked out, and closed the door behind him.

In the courtyard outside the door, stood a eunuch in a green robe. If it wasn't Wei Zhonghe, who else?

The down-and-out swordsman seemed not at all surprised by Wei Zhonghe's appearance,

Just carry your own sword,

road:

"Thank you, Eunuch Wei, to welcome you."

"By order of His Majesty, I am here to welcome Mr. Baili.

Although it was ordered by the emperor, it is also a blessing for our family to see Mr. Baili with our own eyes. "

Bailifeng, nicknamed Bailijian.

In the early years, some good people in the world once commented on the list of swordsmen, the clichéd "Four Great Swordsmen", and it was extremely clichéd that the four major kingdoms belonged to one.

There is a sword master in the state of Jin, and a swordmaker in the state of Chu.

Qianguo is a hundred-mile sword.

These three are all figures in the Jianghu, free and easy, which is very in line with people's imagination of swordsmen in the Jianghu;

The Sword Master of the Jin Kingdom is a sword idiot, traveling around the world to practice swords, looking for people to challenge everywhere;

No swordmaker in Chu State has ever seen him make a move, but the Sword Master's sword and Bailifeng's sword were all presented by him. In his opinion, only a real swordsman can be worthy of the one he forged. sword.

Perhaps it was due to the mutual flattery of the two sides. The reason why the swordmaker from Chu State who had barely made a move was ranked among the top four swordsmen was because of the words of the Sword Master of Jin State:

The reason why he is making a sword is to make a sword that he thinks can be worthy of him.

The world needs to be flattered, and this word of flattery from the Sword Master of the Jin Kingdom directly elevated the status of the swordmaker.

I don't know if this is a compliment from the sword master after accepting the sword.

The other one, that is, the one from the Yan Kingdom, is not from the Jianghu. Zheng Fan met him. His name is Li Liangshen, and he is one of the seven generals of the Zhenbei Army.

"Tsk tsk, Eunuch Wei, don't look out, I don't know how to talk." Bailijian replied.

Wei Zhonghe shook his head and said:

"Just ask Mr. Baili, don't think our family is long-winded."

"Where is there, but, why are you the only one here, Eunuch Wei?"

Bailijian pierced the scabbard in his hand into the frozen soil under his feet, put his hands on it, and asked while looking around.

"The affairs of the rivers and lakes, the affairs of the rivers and lakes."

Wei Zhonghe put his hands by his side, he could vaguely see the green light lingering, and continued:

"None of our family came here today with the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies."

"Hey, Emperor Yan is so bold, I thought this sword could drink more blood today."

"Mr. Baili was joking, your sword can kill our family, but after killing our family, most of your sword will be useless.

Of course, if Mr. Baili is willing, our family is willing to accept the sword intent that has been accumulated for so long. Even if he dies right away, it would be an honor for our family. "

"Eunuch Wei, I didn't look down on eunuchs."

"Um."

"But I still feel that if my sword intent falls on you, I feel a bit at a loss."

"That's it. If you don't use that sword intent, you can't kill our family. Our family can stand here forever, and you can't go anywhere."

Bailijian turned his head to look at the thatched cottage behind him,

road:

"What's in there, you don't care?"

Wei Zhonghe said with a smile:

"Your Majesty has said that people in the world care too much about the affairs of the Jianghu people, and it seems too cheap."

"Oh, tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity that you Emperor Yan didn't practice swords."

Wei Zhonghe smiled without saying a word.

"That lunatic from the state of Jin pushed that sword-making idiot to the seat of the Four Great Swordsmen in a word. If His Majesty Yan Huang also practiced swords, wouldn't this world be able to be sealed away casually?" The Eight Great Swordsmen or even the Eighteen Great Swordsmen?"

Wei Zhonghe continued to laugh without saying a word.

Baili Jianjian didn't get a response,

Continue to use an extremely puzzled tone:

"You guys really don't care about that old calf?"

Wei Zhonghe smiled and shook his head:

"in spite of."

"Then I came all the way to you because I was hungry and cold, so I don't have anything to do?"

The old man came with Bailijian,

Just ask Bailijian to protect himself.

Because the old man needs to get close to Yanjing City, it takes a certain amount of time, and he needs a person to protect him.

Wei Zhonghe pointed behind him,

road:

"If Mr. Baili is willing, warm wine and hot dishes are prepared under the city wall."

"No no no no……"

Bailijian shook his head,

"That would be outrageous, that old brat inside is too stingy, let's just stand like this, if you don't move, I won't move either."

Wei Zhonghe nodded,

"good."

"Yeah, but it's still too boring. You're an eunuch, and I can't chat with you. It's boring."

Wei Zhonghe continued to laugh without saying a word.

"Isn't Li Liangshen in Yanjing?"

Wei Zhonghe shook his head,

"Mr. Li is not in Yanjing."

"It's outrageous, it's outrageous, you guys clearly knew I was coming, but you didn't ask Li Liangshen to come over to accompany me, it's too shameful, I'm really afraid that my heart is itching and I can't control it."

Wei Zhonghe still maintains that smile that seems to have remained unchanged for thousands of years,

road:

"Mr. Baili, if Jianxin is itchy, you can come to my Dayan Jianghu for a walk. My Dayan is not as large as Qianguo, but Dayan's Jianghu is equally exciting."

"Oh, I don't have that much free time."

"Mr. Baili can also go to Yinlang County, or go to the three sides of Qianguo. I, Dayan Cavalry, will wait for Mr. Baili there."

"Are you threatening me?"

Wei Zhonghe nodded and said:

"You finally heard it."

"Hehe, your Dayan iron cavalry is amazing!"

Wei Zhonghe continued to nod and said:

"It's really remarkable."

"..." Baili Sword.

While the two were talking,

Inside the thatched cottage,

Suddenly there was a loud shout,

Like the sound of thunder from the sky, rippling out:

"Old Master Zang Master, I have met His Majesty Emperor Yan!"

………

"Old Master Zang Master, I have met His Majesty Emperor Yan!"

On the field outside the Hall of Qiming,

A phantom of an old man appeared,

Beside the old man, eighteen lotus flowers loomed.

When the old man appeared,

More than a dozen red-robed eunuchs surrounded him directly.

Xue Yi took three steps forward,

For the elderly,

Opened the mouth and said:

"Master Tibetan, I have admired you for a long time."

In the east, the style of Qi refiners prevails.

It's as small as fortune-telling on the street, eating, drinking, and making money, as big as deciding the fate of the country with one word.

Unlike the Four Swordsmen and the Four Kingdoms, each has its own difference,

Among the alchemists,

Only one person stands on the top,

That is the Tibetan master of Gan country.

"A long time?" Master Zang looked at Xue Yi standing on the steps in front of him, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Only you, if you hadn't been alive by smoking Yan Guoyun for decades, you wouldn't even stand in front of the old man. I have no qualifications in front of me!"

Xue Yi nodded and said:

"Indeed."

The style of Qi refiners is the most prosperous in Qian Kingdom, because including the predecessor dynasty of Qian Kingdom and Qian Kingdom itself, there have been many emperors who are obsessed with Qi refiners.

What is good at the top will be worse at the bottom.

Xue Yi was not the most talented qi refiner at all, he was able to reach his current level because the two emperors of Yan State allowed him to use Yan Ding to absorb the fortune of the country and cultivate.

Master Zang looked through Xue Yi and looked at Emperor Yan who was standing behind.

Opened the mouth and said:

"His Majesty the Emperor Yan, the people in the countryside would like to negotiate a deal with you."

Emperor Yan didn't speak.

Master Zang smiled and continued:

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Yan, look, you, the Dragon Vessel of the Kingdom of Yan, is really enviable."

As soon as the voice fell,

Three of the eighteen lotus flowers beside Master Tibetan collapsed.

next moment,

Above the Hall of Enlightenment,

An illusory black dragon figure appeared, like a mirage.

The black dragon hovers, its head facing the sky, with the aura of looking down on the world!

A few months ago, all Qi refiners with sufficient qualifications in the world were shocked by the power of this black dragon when they risked and paid a huge price to predict the fate of the country!

This means that the power of the Yan Kingdom, like cooking oil in a raging fire, has reached its peak!

When Tian Wujing killed himself, his uncle had said similar things to him.

Zhao Jiulang still held the rice cake in his hand, took a bite, looked up, took another bite, and looked again.

In my heart, I actually feel quite satisfied.

Because he knows that this black dragon also has his contribution.

Xue Yi spread his hands, and streams of black air rose rapidly from his body, echoing the black dragon in the sky.

"Master Zang, with me here, I want to see if you can cut off the dragon veins of my Great Yan!"

The disdainful smile on Master Tibetan's face still did not dissipate.

road:

"Okay, I really don't believe that you can stop me, but I came here only to negotiate a deal with His Majesty the Emperor Yan behind you.

His Majesty the Emperor Yan, I don't need to cut off the dragon veins of your Great Yan, but I want you to withdraw your troops immediately and invent the imperial edict yourself, so that you will never go south to attack! "

talking,

Another lotus flower collapsed beside Master Tibetan,

A silver air wave swept up, forcing the phantom of the black dragon upwards,

"Otherwise, your Great Swallow Dragon Vein will cease to exist today!"

Today, there is the world's number one qi refiner, who entered the imperial city with his body and spirit, and used the dragon's veins as a guide to force the king of the world to give in!

Xue Yi raised his head and looked ahead,

road:

"Just try it!!!"

A desolate will to die has already permeated the air.

Zhao Jiulang put the last bit of rice cake in his mouth, and imitating the emperor's previous action, he put his finger in his mouth and licked a few mouthfuls indecently.

I thought to myself, no wonder it felt weird to see the grandfather of the eunuchs in the palace today. The previous scenes were just to explain the funeral.

Faced with this situation, the prime minister of Dayan didn't have any fear.

In fact, when Tian Wujing destroyed his entire family, the uncle of the Tian family had reminded Tian Wujing to be careful of those who practiced mysteries in the world, and came with other methods.

Today, the prophecy of Uncle Tian's family has come true.

Faced with this threat,

There was still no slight fluctuation on Yanhuang's face,

Just opened the mouth and said:

"Xue Yi, listen to the order!"

Hearing the words, the old man in black robe in front trembled, turned his head to look at his majesty in some puzzlement, but still took a few steps back, knelt down,

Sincerely said:

"The minister is here!"

"Return to the Hall of Qiming, and you are not allowed to make a move."

Xue Yi looked up at his Majesty in astonishment,

To know,

Even if he desperately protects this dragon vein, there is a certain probability that he won't be able to keep it. If he doesn't take action, that master Tibetan will definitely be able to cut off the dragon vein!

"Accept the order."

Emperor Yan said.

Xue Yi showed a struggling look.

"Xue Yi, accept the order!"

Xue Yi finally lowered his head,

Kowtowing:

"Chen, Xue Yi, accept the order!"

Xue Yi stood up,

He walked back to Qiming Hall and stood beside Zhao Jiulang.

Yanhuang raised his head and looked up,

laughed:

"This is the first time I have seen such a scene above the palace where I live."

Tibetan Master looked at the Yan Emperor with some doubts.

Emperor Yan looked at Master Zang. This was the first time Emperor Yan opened his eyes to look at Master Zang when his body and spirit appeared here!

"Hurry up, don't you want to cut off the dragon's veins? Show me the veins, I'll wait and see."

"..." Mr. Zang.

"..." Xue Yi.

"Hehe." Zhao Jiulang smiled, walked out of Qiming Hall, stood behind Emperor Yan, looked up at the sky, and said, "Your Majesty, don't talk about you, I'm waiting to see this spectacle."

Master Zang looked at the pair of King Yan and his ministers inexplicably.

Emperor Yan pointed at Master Zang and urged:

"There are still many memorials in Zhenyu's study room that I haven't read, don't delay, cut them up quickly."

Master Zang let out a sneer,

road:

"Your Majesty the Emperor Yan, cutting off the dragon veins of a country, the power of backlash, even an old man can't bear it, but His Majesty Yan Emperor, do you really dare not dare to be an old man?"

Emperor Yan stood with his hands behind his back,

road:

"Chop up quickly!"

"Okay, today, old man, I will cut off your Dayan dragon veins and cut off your Ji family's fortune!"

In the next moment, except for the wilting lotus beside the old man, the rest of the lotus collapsed.

Master Tibetan pointed to the sky,

A tyrannical air wave was shot into the sky from the dark,

Immediately afterwards,

A ray of light falls,

It fell directly on the black dragon phantom.

"Boom!!!"

The phantom of the black dragon split, and the thick ink-like black disappeared.

Come from the dark, and return to the dark.

On Master Tibetan's body and spirit, a flame began to burn, but his expression was not painful, he just stared at the king coldly, and said in a somewhat erratic voice:

"Emperor Yan, your Dragon Vein has been broken!"

Emperor Yan kept looking up at the changing scene in the sky. After the black dragon dissipated, the dark clouds dissipated, and the light came down, Emperor Yan took a deep breath.

Opened the mouth and said:

"My country, Great Yan, has been established for hundreds of years. The difficulties of establishing the country and defending the country are all imprinted in the hearts of every Yan people.

Dayan's ability to last for hundreds of years has never depended on any bullshit dragon veins, nor is it the luck that you Qi refiners talk about!

Dayan,

The reason is that for hundreds of years, Da Yan Erlang rushed to the northern border with a sword and horse, and blood stained the desert!

It depends on the ancestor emperor of the Ji family. After the death of the war, the new king succeeds to the throne and continues to conquer by himself!

It depends on the horse, the saber, and the backbone that generations of Yan people have been fighting!

I am the Son of Heaven!

I don't believe in fate. If there is fate, then this fate can definitely be changed by people! "

In Yanhuang's mind,

The image of Zhenbei Hou Li Liangting drooling when he watched himself eating chicken legs emerged when he was a child,

Emerged Jingnan Hou Tian Wujing's roar of "Da Yan's family will overthrow me, Tian Jiashi"!

It emerged that I hold a lamp and look at the reflection of the territory map of Dayan in person every night before falling asleep!

my life

Dayan's national fortune,

You say you can change it?

Can you stop it if you say it?

Then what is the use of my Dayan needing these hundreds of thousands of cavalry?

Then what is the use of my Dayan and the North and South Marquis?

Then I, Dayan, what use is there for me?

Tibetan Master's body and spirit were about to be annihilated, and these words of Emperor Yan echoed in his ears.

Suddenly,

He felt a little lost,

The emperor of Yan,

His attitude, his words, his look,

It actually made Master Zang feel a little shaken by what he had practiced all his life.

Emperor Yan went down the stairs,

While walking down the steps, he opened his mouth and said:

"There are so many Qi refiners!

Qi practitioners in the countryside make a living by divination, which is red and white, and by deceiving the people!

Perhaps, you will feel that you are different from them.

But in my opinion,

They deceive fools and fools,

And you, you lied to the king and general!

It's nothing more than different targets, but they are all deceiving, sometimes, even deceiving yourself so deeply that you believe it.

I am very disappointed.

Gan Guo also disappointed me!

It seems that there is really no one in Qianguo, and they actually want to rely on a charlatan to make things happen!

I, I don't want you to die, I hope you can continue to live, I want you to see with your own eyes, the big swallow whose dragon's veins were cut off by you, and whose blessings were cut off by you,

its cavalry,

How did you trample over your big country! "

Master Tibetan's form and spirit were annihilated at this time. Before the annihilation, he stretched out his hand and wanted to point to Emperor Yan, but he failed.

...

Inside the thatched cottage,

The breath suddenly dissipated.

Bailijian looked back suspiciously,

muttered:

"it's over?"

Wei Zhonghe loosened his sleeves,

As a gas refiner, he naturally sensed that the world's number one gas refiner in the thatched hut was exhausted.

Wei Zhonghe cupped his hands to Bailijian and said:

"Mr. Baili, Dayan's Imperial Palace, I will hand you over to sit down at any time;

Dayan's cavalry is always waiting for your ride. "

Bailijian's eyes were fixed, and the sword's momentum suddenly rose!

Wei Zhonghe sneered, and between his sleeves, there were streaks of hair flowing!

"I really didn't expect that the Yan people were always said to be arrogant, but I didn't expect that the father-in-law in the Yan people's palace would be so arrogant!"

Wei Zhonghe grinned,

road:

"Mr. Baili, in your eyes, this world is just like Jianghu."

Bailijian frowned slightly.

Wei Zhonghe continued:

"But in front of the national war, the world is nothing."

Wei Zhonghe took two steps back,

road:

"Mr. Baili should take Master Tibetan's dying body back first, and maybe send him back to the mountain gate for another look.

Of course, Mr. Baili doesn't need to enter the palace, nor hold a sword to block my Dayan cavalry;

But Mr. Baili, if you dare to indiscriminately kill innocent people in my Dayan territory, if you kill one Yan person, my Dayan iron cavalry will kill ten dry people!

If you kill a hundred Yan people, my Dayan iron cavalry will kill a thousand dry people!

you,

Just kill! "

finished speaking,

Wei Zhonghe turned around,

wave your sleeves,

left.

…………

Inside Qiming Hall,

Emperor Yan sat on his chariot again, his figure was a little sluggish, it seemed that what happened just now was just an extra game of chess between his reviewing the memorial.

Xue Yi stayed in Qiming Hall and knelt down again.

Everyone in the world only knows that the first emperor was greedy for extravagance,

However, when Xue Yi had tea with the late emperor, he heard the late emperor himself say,

The first emperor said: The greatest achievement in his life was to win the throne and pass it on to his son.

The first emperor said: He knew that he had no ability or great talent, so he just enjoyed a little, was a little greedy, and a little absurd.

For one thing, when I was a prince, I had to live in fear every day. After I became an emperor, if I didn't live a good life for a few days, I always felt that I was in a panic in this life.

Secondly, being a little ridiculous would also make it easier for my son to set things right after he succeeds, so that his son's reputation can be directly established.

The first emperor also said: He actually didn't live enough, but he was afraid that he would sit on the throne for too long and delay his son's time.

Therefore, he knew that the elixirs made by those alchemists were poisonous, but he still insisted on taking them.

The first emperor said: It is much better to use this method to let myself die earlier than to think of other ways to die. If I die by other methods, if the records are unclear in the history books, I may have to bring a bad reputation to my son.

Xue Yi was in tears.

Emperor Yan, who was sitting on the chariot, said:

"Uncle Xue, you have to continue to live. I don't care about the dragon's veins or not, but I do care if the state of Jin and Chu are not in order. If there are any changes in those two countries in the future, please trouble Uncle Xue to learn from the previous one. Also go to their palace and scare them."

Zhao Jiulang came out from Qiming Hall,

Holding two rice cakes in his hand, the current prime minister walked to Emperor Yan's chariot with a smile.

Yanhuang pointed to the rice cake,

road:

"Lingting is good for this one, send someone to send it to him urgently."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Also, by the way, send a message to the pavilion and Wujing."

"Please show your majesty."

Empress Yan leaned back on the chariot seat,

Pat the chariot frame lightly with the palm of your hand,

road:

"Let's do it."
