That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 239 Chaos in court, one crop after another

Looking at the man in red under the moonlight who was so beautiful that he was not like a woman in the world, Gu Qingci smiled slightly. He didn't know if this person was a woman, but she was an extremely beautiful woman in terms of demeanor, movement and appearance. Even There is no Adam's apple that is unique to men, but this man said that he is not a woman, so Gu Qing resigned.

  If this person is a woman, it is a perfect work of art created by God. Any woman who has this appearance should be proud, not deny it. As for the second question, Gu Qingci just shook his head slightly without arguing. Although he had the Tianmoqin in his hand at the time, he was sure that he could kill those people, but he was not sure that he could leave. Someone was ambushing there, and the ending can be imagined.

  The most important thing is that in that situation, most people would choose to turn a blind eye and not choose to cause trouble. However, this ridiculously beautiful man saved him and never left the water.

  After taking out some pills and taking them, Gu Qingci stood up slowly, bowed slightly to perform the ceremony, and said: "My Gu Qingci, thank you for saving my life."

Mu Lixian picked up a pile of firewood in the woods and threw it on the ground, looked at Gu Qingci calmly, his eyes were calm, and said lightly: "My name is Mu Lixian, you should call me a girl, get used to it, How are you going to thank me then?"

   "Uh..." Gu Qingci was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to react. He smiled helplessly and said, "But I have ordered you not to violate your personal principles. Don't dare to disobey."

  Mu Lixian stared at Gu Qingci, looked at Gu Qingci for a long time, and then said: "Are you wondering why I saved you?"

   Gu Qingci nodded and said: "I am really confused, I have never met the girl, and under such circumstances, I really can't figure out why the girl would come to save me."

Mu Lixian took out a fire pocket and lit the dry firewood. The light from the fire shone clearer than the moonlight. That beautiful face seemed to be an ice flower that would suddenly appear in summer, full of infinite emotions. The indifferent smile was blocked by a few strands of long hair, but it couldn't hide the alluring beauty.

  Gu Qingci was able to sense the faint internal force fluctuations in Mu Lixian's body, and he could probably guess that this is a young martial artist in the qi state, a martial artist in the qi state with extremely fierce shots.

At the beginning, Gu Qingci couldn't help but sigh that there are no geniuses in the world tomorrow, but he can always meet such geniuses. In today's battle, he suddenly realized that it was not because of his luck, but because of his strength. The problem is that he suddenly realized it when he killed two great practitioners in the Destiny Realm. Before he knew it, he had become the most powerful person in the world. Possibly poor.

  Mu Lixian also saw Gu Qingci's eyes, and said lightly: "Does it look good?"

  Gu Qingci smiled slightly and said: "It looks good, but it's just a pity..."

  Mu Lixian seemed to be used to being stared at by men, so he said calmly: "If it's not a pity, your brother Xiao Shitou wants me to be his sister-in-law."

"Uh…"

  A look of embarrassment appeared on Gu Qingci's face, he asked doubtfully, "Do you know my brother?"

   "Yes," Mu Lixian approached the bonfire slightly, and said, "If it wasn't for knowing your brother and your mother, I wouldn't have saved you today."

Gu Qingci frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart. He seemed to save the inexplicable mood when he first met Wu Yu that day. He took a deep breath, stared at Mu Lixian, and asked: "what do you mean?"

In fact, when martial arts have reached the level of Mu Lixian and Gu Qingci, even sleeping out at night will not have any effect, but as a person's habit, he always likes warmth or light, so Mu Lixian added two pieces of firewood , and then slowly said: "When I met your brother and your mother, they were being chased and killed. Fortunately, there was an old man who was very strong, but he was still in danger..."

Mu Lixian slowly finished telling Gu Qingci what happened in Tongyang County, and finally said: "I have heard of the famous Mr. Wushuang, and I know your character. From the moment your brother and mother are your enemies, it just so happens that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, so I will save you, and I am not afraid of offending more enemies, because the meaning of my life is to find Cihang Jianzhai It's revenge against the Gu God Sect, so you don't have to worry about whether I will plot against you!"

Gu Qingci's face was cold, and he blamed himself in his heart. He was stunned for a while, touched the Mochou sword on his back, stood up slowly, and said, "You came to the capital to kill people, right? I, Gu Qingci, will protect you." you!"

  Mu Lixian smiled slightly, and said softly: "Heal your wounds first, and besides, your brother and your mother are safe in Qixiufang now, so don't be in a hurry!"

  ...

When thousands of clusters of golden arrow-like rays of light burst out from the clouds, those clouds that have absorbed the rays of the rays are bright red and slightly dazzling, and the clouds suddenly become brilliant, and the blooming flower buds compete with each other. Chang'an, who woke up from sleep The city was uproarious.

The incident on Zhuque Street last night caused a lot of commotion. Everyone was watching and thinking about the decision made by the Xia Kingdom court. There were also many officials who blocked the palace early and asked to go to the court. Ministers.

  However, the emperor seemed to be joking with many ministers. On weekdays, the court opened very early, but today it was almost noon, and the court officials were not allowed to enter the palace.

Many ministers were waiting anxiously outside the Golden Luan Hall, and there were also many people discussing in groups of twos and threes. Without exception, the discussions were all about the matter that Emperor Xia sent people to arrest the Yan State Mission last night. Military officials are also starting discussions.

If you take a closer look, you can also find a situation, that is, although these courtiers are discussing, but they are all clear-cut. several factions.

Among them, the civil servants are the most prominent. All the officials at Yushitai stood quietly, and they were one of the few relatively quiet ones, and no one came to discuss with them. In addition, there were several civil servants headed by Di Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Zeng Tong, a senior scholar. Although they were discussing, they were all relatively ordinary. These people were all middle-aged, but they were not very old. There were only a few elderly courtiers from Hanlin and Zeng Tong.

The most intense discussion was the many real veterans headed by Taifu Yang Zhengming. These people were almost all of age. He is older, but he is the most energetic. Sitting on the white marble steps, he still does not forget to express his opinions.

Although there are many young or middle-aged officials in Taifu's faction, they rarely have the opportunity to speak. They can't get in their mouths, let alone some with lower ranks.

  Finally, after discussing for a long time, when it was almost noon, the gate of the Jinluan Hall was finally slowly opened. With the sound of the eunuch's voice, all the officials entered the hall one after another and began to salute.

   Emperor Xia looked at all the civil and military officials with a serious expression, and after they all saluted, he said coldly: "I heard that all the lovers seem to have a book to play today, let's start now!"

There was a sudden silence in the Jinluan Hall, and no one could figure out what Emperor Xia meant. After a long while, a middle school official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Seventh Prince sent troops overnight All the foreign missions were arrested and imprisoned..."

  Xiahuang directly interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense, I sent him to do this matter, the reason is that Lantian County son was assassinated by the Yan State Mission, and now his life and death are unknown, what do you think?"

The emperor resolutely frankly confessed this matter, and at the same time forced to ask, the words of the Zhongshuling were blocked back, and he retreated to the side resentfully, looking at the Taifu Yang Zhengming at the front, and Yang Zhengming was Nodded without showing a trace.

At this time, another civil servant suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this method is not proper. Whether Yan Guo assassinated Lantian County is still open to question, but His Majesty directly arrested the Yan Guo Mission and imprisoned it. How can I explain this to Yan Guo. "

  At the same time, another civil servant stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I also feel that this matter is inappropriate. Detaining the Yan State Mission and going to prison directly is no small matter at this time. If you don't pay attention, it will provoke a war between the two countries!"

   "Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice. National affairs are different from child's play. You should not rush to arrest the son-in-law of the State of Yan just because of a whim, the assassination of the son of Lantian County has not yet been concluded..."

"Your Majesty, the son-in-law of the Yan Kingdom is here to send an envoy. If the two armies are at war, the envoy will not be beheaded. What's more, I am not allowed to fight with the Yan Kingdom in Daxia. But if Your Majesty does this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Yan Kingdom will Come here with your army, at that time, a catastrophe will come, and people will die!"

   "..."

There was a commotion in the Jinluan Hall, and many civil servants stood up one after another. Emperor Xia had been watching quietly, without saying a word. Everyone who stood up opposed the matter of Emperor Xia arresting Xiao Yuhe and imprisoning Meng Qi. Emperor Xia was too reckless, after all, the envoy of Yan State represented the State of Yan.

  After a long while, Emperor Xia said in a deep voice: "Since all the gentlemen feel that my method is inappropriate, what do you think should be done?"

When Emperor Xia asked this question, a minister with a gray beard stood up. This man was the young Fu Qihui. He held the ceremony and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the concubine of the Yan Kingdom should be released immediately, and the Yan State should be notified to let them do it." Come up with a charter and make compensation, and my Daxia county son can't be assassinated in vain."

After Qi Hui finished speaking, another elderly courtier also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have seconded the proposal. The Kingdom of Yan and our Great Xia are allies. It is indeed inappropriate to directly imprison the son-in-law of the Kingdom of Yan. Besides, now I'm not sure whether Lantian County is alive or dead, maybe it's not a big deal, if you do this, won't you make the matter too big?"

   "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!"

   "The minister also seconded!"

   "..."

Emperor Xia looked at these senior ministers, but couldn't see their expressions. He just glanced at the Taifu Taishi and others, and was about to speak, but at this moment, an official from the Yushitai stood up, stared at Qi Hui and said, "Qi Hui!" My lord, I want to ask you, what you said can't be assassinated in vain, but you just let Yan Guo pay a little money, and then let them take him back to assassinate my Great Xia hero, a majestic county son and the world Walking, is it just a little money? Then the lower officials will ask, how much does Lord Qi think he is worth? How much do all the adults think each should be worth, how about just publishing a list?"

As soon as the official Yushitai said, the entire Jinluan Palace fell silent. Qi Hui and the others blushed. Looking at the young Yushi, Qi Hui said in shame and indignation: "Who are you? I will wait for the court to discuss matters. How can you tolerate such insults?"

The young censor was questioned by Qi Hui, but he was still neither humble nor overbearing, and said calmly: "Young official Yushitai Lu Youzhuan!" After speaking, Lu Youzhuan took a step forward and said, "Master Qi said that the lower official really insulted you! , Then, I dare to ask, are you insulting Gu Qingci, Mr. Gu?"

Qi Hui pointed at Lu Youzhuan angrily, and said angrily: "Zhuzi, you are confusing black and white, taking the meaning out of context, we discuss the matter as it stands, how can we tolerate your nonsense, Gu Qingci's matter, I can tell you the same thing something?"

"Hmph," Lu Youzhang flicked his long sleeves, and said in a clear voice, "Why is it different? Master Gu's life can be settled with compensation. You, Qi Hui, are an immortal, so can't you use compensation? You Do you think you are nobler than Mr. Gu? Mr. Gu has shed blood on the battlefield for the country, spared no expense for the ordinary people, and even walked the world for the honor of the country, so you were assassinated. What qualifications do you have to just make a compensation!"

Lu Youjiang pointed his nose at the old man and scolded the old man. Qi Hui blushed and raised his beard in anger. He looked at Emperor Xia and said, "Your Majesty, please redress the old minister's grievances. I will work hard for my Daxia all my life." , but when you are old, you still have to be insulted by this scorpion, Your Majesty!"

Lu You snorted coldly, not to be outdone, and cupped his hands towards the Emperor Xia, saying: "Your Majesty, please remove the young Fu Qihui from his official position. As an official of my Great Xia, he actually wants to compromise in front of the backbone of such a country, and he is not worthy at all." As a young Fu, he is not worthy of being an official, this kind of person is no different from a vegetarian meal in a corpse, I want to read his book!"

   "Shut up, Shuzi." At this time, another veteran who was about the same age as Qi Hui stood up and said, "Master Qi has devoted his whole life to the country and worked tirelessly. You are a yellow-mouthed kid, what qualifications do you have to join him?"

"Mr. Chen's words are wrong." The other officials at the Yushitai did not show any weakness, and someone immediately stood up and said: "As the Yushi, you should point out all the officials. If Qi Shaofu did something wrong, you should say come out."

   "Bullshit..."

   "You are the crap..."

All of a sudden, the Golden Luan Palace became noisy again. The censors of Yushitai and a group of old ministers had a big quarrel. If they hadn’t had some scruples, they would have rolled up their sleeves and fought. After a while, Emperor Xia couldn’t stand it anymore and slapped the table , happened to say: "Give me peace, so loud, how decent!"
