I am the leader of the capital

"How about I find you a carriage? You go to the capital by yourself." Hei Xi looked at the old man Zhang who lost his small back basket after hearing that there must be prosperity and wealth to enjoy.

The old man's face was full of astonishment, isn't this man going to take him away?Knowing that a rural old man like himself could not find the capital, he let himself go, probably because he wanted to consciously go back and count Yangcheng. Although he was a little disappointed, he saved his life after all. They were all dead. When he came all the way, he saw a small red creek. The hunchbacked old man Zhang nodded and said, "OK."

Hei Xi looked at the troubled old man Zhang and nodded. He suddenly suspected that the old man wanted to run in a carriage, and he was worried that he would become suspicious so he pretended to be entangled. He knew the old man's acting skills. Under the tree, I chatted decently with a group of rivers and lakes.

"Forget it, you'd better go with me."

Hei Xi looked at the old man, he is still not sure if the old man is really just a strange man who has mastered a little skill, after all the old man's ability to hide his breath is too powerful, he is not like an ordinary person, He must bring this old man back. The old man's skills are too mysterious. If the killer of Xueyu Villa learns such skills, his strength will definitely increase.

Black Rhino bought a new cloak in a shop, and took the old man to eat at a roadside restaurant. After eating and drinking, he was going to rent a carriage.

"How far can you go north?" The figure under the black robe faced the carriageway on the side of the road.

The coachman has wrinkles between his brows, like a miserable ghost who lives in sorrow every day. When he sees a visitor, he squeezes out a smile and says, "Go north, at most a hundred miles to the next city. not going."

Seeing that the black rhinoceros seemed to want to go to another place to ask questions, the coachman said: "Guest officer, whether you ask or not, the distance is the same, and the big guys rely on this for food. If it is too far away, don't worry about driving and horses. The risk of unfamiliar land is also great.”

After pondering for a while, Hei Xi felt that what the coachman said might be right, and he didn't want to transfer back and forth, so he went directly to buy a carriage, and then took old man Zhang all the way north, without any other delays on the way, only Eating, drinking, lassing and sleeping these few things, so the speed of the journey is very fast.

The black rhino was driving, and the old man stayed in the carriage all the time. The black rhino remained vigilant all the way, even if the old man's main joints were still pierced with wooden needles, he didn't feel at ease, because he didn't have much knowledge, so he couldn't tell the identity of the old man , Is it ordinary people who know a little strange technique, or is it purely ulterior motives.

Stopped the carriage by a small stream, the black rhino was hunting, and looked at the old man from time to time around the bonfire. What the old man showed was too unreasonable. The blood-red eyes of the man under the black robe frightened the old man. My hands shake when I eat.

Master Xu, the city lord of Yangcheng, appealed everywhere not to look for the black-robed man who hunted and killed Xueyu Villa, but it was ineffective. People kept going out in the city. Later, he had to use his power to ask several forces to recruit his subordinates. return.

A problem arose. I don’t know who was the first to notice that many people in the city were going out, but no one came back. From time to time, some people sent news back to say how the mountain was doing, but suddenly the news stopped.

That mountain forest was like a man-eating tiger. Some people went in but did not come back. In the end, the first person to come back was an old woodcutter. When he washed his hands, he saw the blood in the river, so he fled back to the city in a panic. , He told the residents in the city that several streams in the mountains were stained red with blood.

Some forces in Yangcheng hurriedly organized people to go into the mountain to check. Not long after, people came back one after another. The news that came back made the whole small town quiet. Except for those woodcutters and medicine collectors in the mountain, there were no people from the rivers and lakes who entered the mountain. live.

Then there was no news. Some anxious people were waiting at home, and some more courageous went out to explore together. As the sky was getting late, corpses began to be transported back. The small town was sleepless all night, even the surrounding cities. Got the news.

The next day, when Zuo Zuo checked the corpses, he found that all the corpses died after their necks were pinched and broken. The strange thing was that there were no signs of struggle on each of them.

As the incident became more and more troublesome, people from several small towns around came over. One of his subordinates did not participate in the siege of the black rhinoceros, so the little leader who has preserved his strength spread the news to the outside world: " Mahayana, many people don’t know what Mahayana is, Mahayana is god, Mahayana is immortal, Mahayana is great god.”

"The breath of a god is not something that mortals like me can bear. I have been fortunate to have seen Mahayana masters, who can shake mountains and rivers with one breath, so I know that even if such a person is seriously injured, he is not a master like us. People can provoke."

The little master's words brought his reputation to the peak immediately. Many forces who lost the master this time were very dissatisfied when they saw him making sarcastic remarks, but the limelight of the common people was one-sided. Those who have great insight, these dead Jianghu people are stunned youths who have never seen the world and do not know the power of Mahayana.

Duan Xiaolou was very sad when he heard the news, and many innocent lives were lost, but he didn't blame himself too much, after all, he tried his best to dissuade him.

……

In front of the south gate of Fengge City, Gu Lingyuan, who was very disappointed, came back. He went to suggest Junzilou to win over Yun Qianyu and not to conflict with Xueyu Villa, but no one listened to his words after the second elder was met by a fool. Junzilou is already preparing manpower, and it seems that they will definitely ask for an explanation for the death of the second elder.

After dissuading him, he was scolded by several uncles. The content was nothing more than that someone in the sect had an accident. Is it the sword cultivator who doesn't want to take revenge but is afraid of gains and losses?
In Gu Shilang's mansion of the Ministry of Rites, a young man ran into the backyard and said to Gu Shilang who was sitting in the pavilion admiring flowers: "Master, master, the young master is back."

The handsome middle-aged man is the well-known servant of the Ministry of Rites. Gu Qingyu's age is not that old among the high-ranking officials of the six departments of the capital, or she is very young. She also aroused the love of many girls back then. Married to the concubine daughter of a deceased prince, she devoted all her attention to official duties early on, and cut off the thoughts of many unscrupulous women.

"father."

Gu Qingyu turned her head to look at the boy who was as tall as herself, smiled slightly and said, "Yuan'er is back? How is it?"

The young man sat down on the edge of the table in frustration, poured a cup of tea in his hand, and shook his head, "No one believes me. I think Xueyu Villa is deliberately provoking troubles to stimulate our Junzilou, but they don't believe it. Make enemies in vain."

"How do you say that?" Reaching out to pick a flower and smelling it, Gu Shilang's standard middle-aged handsome scholar walked into the court hall, with the appearance of a powerful scholar.

Gu Lingyuan and Gu Shilang are three points similar, but because his mother is just a middle-aged man, he is not as good-looking as his father. Gu Shilang is over forty, and he can still be seen secretly by many young girls in the street.

The young man tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said to his father: "That's right, I remembered what you said about the possible marriage between the royal family and Yun Musheng. You even knew about the father, which means that many people are involved in this matter." Probably they all know it, and it is the choice of most people.”

"Well, keep talking, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong." Gu Shilang looked at his son, his face full of encouragement.

Gu Lingyuan didn't have time to communicate with his father last time. This time he was blamed by many elders in the Zongmen, which made him wonder if he thought something wrong. Looking at the expressions of those elders, if he was not the minister of the household department The only son, it is estimated that a stick of responsibility will not escape.

So on the way back, he was thinking about whether to discuss with his father. At this time, he thought for a while and said: "At that time, the old master went to the palace to meet the saint after receiving Yun Tomb, and Bai Shangshu also stayed in the palace until I only headed southeast after dark, and I still know the status of Bai Shangshu and Zhao Taifu."

The young man continued: "At that time, I suddenly thought about Bai Shangshu. As the master of Junzilou, the holy land of swordsmanship in the world, my master's strength is unquestionable, but the master said that the current him is the same as the 30-year-old champion Hou more than 23 years ago. The outcome is unpredictable, so Bai Shangshu's status is much higher than what I understand."

"That's right, Bai Shangshu's status is indeed higher than most people in this world understand. Even in the court, there are some idiots who think that Bai Shangshu's position as Minister of the Ministry of War is because the emperor thinks about his old love and keeps him sitting. "Gu Shilang nodded, his name is very delicate, so he doesn't like others to mention it, and he doesn't like to mention it either.

Gu Shilang looked at his son who knew how to think and continued to guide: "Then based on your observation, how high do you think Bai Shangshu's status is?"

"Back then, I heard from my master that Bai Shangshu was not sick, but suffered a fatal injury. Essentially speaking, Bai Shangshu has no illness on his body, only an injury that cannot be cured in this life." The young man thought for a while and said.

The handsome middle-aged man nodded, and continued: "Why do you mention this? Or what did you learn from it? What does this matter have to do with Bai Shangshu's status?"

"Well, I'm thinking that according to the rumors, when Bai Shangshu was injured, it was the time when many people said he was seriously ill. The people in the capital did not hear the news of the war. It is impossible for Bai Shangshu's strength to be seriously injured easily. The battle movement should not be small, but I haven't heard that Bai Shangshu is out of the city, and I suspect that the venue of the battle is the palace."

Looking at his father who nodded approvingly, Gu Lingyuan continued: "I checked the relevant information, and many things happened in the 37th year of Jianye. In addition to the sudden serious illness of the champion, the Cao family who was the number one scholar in the world went to the Cao family in the capital. Empress Cao was abolished, the prince stepped down, and South Vietnam rebelled. I think there is some news behind this.

I suspect that the Cao family and Nanyue are the ones who attacked Bai Shangshu, but in reality, when the Cao family was ransacked and beheaded, basically everyone was alive. It may be unscathed, and it is impossible to wait for the emperor to kill. "

Gu Shilang nodded, and looked at his son approvingly, "Yes, it has something to do with the Cao family, but it won't be too big."

With his father's approval, Gu Lingyuan continued: "I'm also concerned that the Tiance Divine Army, which was called by the emperor no less than the founding army of the empire and was expected to sweep the world and reappear the glory of the empire, also disappeared that year. When Champion Marquis was stripped of his title, I also wondered if the Cao family commanded the Tiance Divine Army to attack Bai Shangshu, and that's why the Cao family and the Tiance Divine Army disappeared into this world at the same time."
"However, when I inquired about the relevant information of the Tiance Divine Army, I found that Bai Shangshu is the commander of the Tiance Divine Army. It is too unrealistic to say that the Cao family can instruct the Tiance Divine Army to attack Bai Shangshu. The Tiance Divine Army should have stood with Bai Shangshu, maybe they were hit hard at the same time when they met the enemy."
