Warriors

And the Holy Majesty also realized that the road for the ministers was difficult, so it was convenient to announce yesterday that there will be no early court.As a result, on the snow-covered streets of the imperial capital at this time, the sound of the carriages of the ministers going to court was also missing, and there was only the slight sound of the snow falling.

But in the Seventh Prince's Mansion amidst the bright lights.Following the congratulatory sound of "Congratulations, sir", the father-in-law from yesterday seemed to have just finished reading an imperial decree, and handed it to Zhao Zhou who was also in the room.

"Master Zhao, accept the order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Zhou first bowed his hands towards the palace before accepting the imperial decree and a token engraved with the word 'censor'.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, father-in-law." Zhao Zhou returned the gift to the father-in-law again.

"Master Zhao is serious, this is a slave's job." The father-in-law smiled, first bowed to the seventh prince next to Zhao Zhou, and then flattered Zhao Zhou as if politely: "Master Zhao is now sealed by the sage." For the sake of the inspection order, I will have to share more work with the Holy One in the future."

"Definitely." Zhao Zhou was noncommittal, rolled up the imperial decree, hung the sign by his side, and took out a small booklet from his arms, and handed it to the father-in-law.

"Elder-in-law, I found this sword technique half a year ago. You can see if the sword technique recorded on it is exquisite." Zhao Zhou looked like he was asking a question or giving a gift.

"Evil Resisting Sword Manual?"

The father-in-law also straightened his face, took it and flipped through a few pages, and saw the small print mentioned in this booklet.

However, he took a few glances, followed the above internal power line of the sword move, pinched an orchid finger and gestured, thought for a moment, but suddenly laughed and said: "Master Zhao, your original swordsmanship seems to be created by your servant." It is similar to a book of martial arts. However, this Evil Resisting Sword Manual only records the superficiality, and it has also been altered a lot, and some meanings are similar to the shape."

As the father-in-law said, he didn't hide his knowledge of martial arts, and he didn't ask Zhao Zhou where this skill came from.

Because 30 years ago, the exercise created by my father-in-law was stolen from the palace.

Then in his mind, this set of exercises of his own might be spread across the world in 30 years, or it might be lucky that Zhao Zhou saw it by chance, so there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

When Zhao Zhou heard the news leaked by this father-in-law, he pondered for a moment, and he was sure that this father-in-law was the eunuch who created the 'Sunflower Book'.

"The source of the evil sword manual is the Sunflower Collection."

Zhao Zhou made some calculations, and based on his own guess, and the fact that this father-in-law was able to follow the Holy One, if nothing unexpected happened, he also felt that this father-in-law might be the "unknown father-in-law" on the "Tian Bang".

"If Mr. Zhao is fine, the servant will return to the palace to serve the saint." After the father-in-law returned the booklet to Zhao Zhou, he didn't think too much about it, or it could be said that everyone in the court knew that he was very powerful, so there was no need to hide it. tucked in.

"Eunuch, go slowly." When Zhao Zhou heard that the father-in-law was leaving, he also lost his mind, and sent the father-in-law out of the door together with the Seventh Prince. The courtesy was in place, and he also took out a night pearl for the father-in-law to accept .

When the father-in-law saw the glowing beads in the dark sky, he was not polite and rubbed them in the palm of his hand.

Because this "passing orders and giving gifts" has been a "court rule" for thousands of years, and there is no way to refuse it.If you refuse, it's easy to lose face on both sides, and it will make people think that the gift is 'light', and it seems that you are too greedy.

"Master Zhao is too polite!"

The father-in-law accepted the gift, and after leaving the Seventh Prince's mansion, he did not let Zhao Zhou see him off. Instead, thinking about the evil sword manual, he made a promise: "Master Zhao, if you like this skill , I will write a book tomorrow and send it to you."

"Thank you." Zhao Zhou read aloud for a while, and expressed his gratitude.After all, the more catalogs of advanced exercises, the better. Anyone who comes is always welcome. If you don't want to practice, you can still learn from it.If you don't want it anymore, you can still give it to a good friend.

"The Seventh Prince and Mr. Zhao don't need to send it away. This light bead is shining brightly, and it can still follow the path." After the father-in-law wrote down the fact that he was going to give away the exercises, he waved goodbye again, his body seemed to be floating, Wherever his feet landed, there was no trace of stepping on the snow, and he disappeared into the heavy snow in the distance in three or two steps, and no one could be found.

If it wasn't for the bead shining in the dark sky, the seventh prince next to Zhao Zhou would have thought that the father-in-law would have disappeared with one step!

"This father-in-law's stamina is higher than that of the owner of the first floor, Huang Chang." Zhao Zhou stood outside the courtyard, looked at the disappearing figure of his father-in-law, thought for a while, and then looked at the clothes hanging on his waist. 'Inspector' sign.

And the official position of this 'inspection order' is also an official position newly proposed by the Holy Majesty yesterday.

However, a new official position was established in this way, and Zhao Zhou was also a member of the seventh prince's mansion.

The Holy Majesty also felt that Zhao Zhou would be blocked by the princes and ministers when the dynasty confiscated Zhao Zhou.

After all, although Zhao Zhou had meritorious service in killing Tian Boguang, he should be rewarded, but Tian Boguang is not a 'shattering figure' after all, so that Zhao Zhou's 'Senior Inspection Rank' is a bit too high, and some people will always be jealous.

Because an official of the seventh rank is already equivalent to a county magistrate!It was only exchanged for one head, there must be some people who are not convinced.

And, now, under the interest of the 'prince fighting for power'.No prince would want to let the 'opponent' have multiple 'staff' with decentralized power for no reason at this juncture.

Even for them, it's just a small Seventh Rank.

Then.

In order to reduce disputes in the court, the Holy Majesty does not want to talk nonsense with the ministers and princes.

In addition, it happened to be snowing heavily today.The Holy Majesty then ordered his father-in-law to seal up Zhao Zhou privately on the grounds of 'blocking the road with heavy snow', and wait for Zhao Zhou to handle some 'cases', and then 'promote quickly' if he has a 'big deal' that can be dealt with.

By then Zhao Zhou will have a reputation, and the rice will be cooked and the wood will be ready.

In this way, the Holy Majesty can also have a reason to convince the public, so that the ministers cannot refute in the open.

But to put it bluntly, the current saint is old and a little helpless. He can only "convince people with reason" and cannot "arbitrate with one word".

same.

According to the situation of the court, Zhao Zhou can also think about these things in various ways.

but.

However, Zhao Zhou felt that the matter was tortuous and tortuous, and it was still a word of 'rule', and everything should be 'notarized and fair'.If you want to 'power the government and the public', you must show your own ability.

The simplest thing is to kill some more evil and conscience-stricken masters of the rivers and lakes.

Because killing a mere Tian Boguang is not enough.There is no way for the ministers in the court to see it.

"Now it's the end of the new year, and every house is decorated with lanterns and streamers." Zhao Zhounian thought for a moment, looking at the red lanterns on the prince's mansion, "and if I want to have a prosperous life with the seventh prince and others, I must be promoted Let those ministers shut up."

After thinking about it, he counted the few days before holding hands and saying goodbye to the Seventh Prince beside him. With a frustrating step, he stepped on the snow and rushed towards the west of the imperial capital.

Of course, in his line of work, he is not planning to kill all the ministers in the imperial capital.Instead, they are going to pay off some masters of the rivers and lakes before the New Year.

And then use the lives of these masters of the rivers and lakes to get promoted to an official position and live a prosperous year happily.

especially.

The goal of this trip, Zhao Zhou also has signs.

It is the "Four Friends of Jiangnan" who are ranked 260, 89, 73, and 91 respectively on the local list.

He and the "No. 89 on the Land List" have disappeared for 12 years, and now he is imprisoned at the bottom of West Lake.

"If you kill these few people, there will be five less geniuses in the Jianghu. And I can also be ranked among the top [-] in the world. In terms of reputation, I can be regarded as a real master in the Jianghu and the court."

Zhao Zhou was also thinking like this, and according to the simple drawing bought during this period of time, he left the imperial capital and traveled all the way west.

Especially now that he has the supernatural power of 'resonance', and all the five internal organs have been opened to 'gods'. This time, he can regain his energy very quickly, at least a step of [-] meters, and he can walk for an hour and a half, covering a distance of two thousand miles, without eating. Strength!

And over time.

Zhao Zhou left the imperial capital, and on the way to the West Lake, the snow covered the sky without stopping at all, and the sky and the earth were all white.

just.
