The most difficult system to open in history

Outside the carriage was snowing heavily and the wind was bitterly cold, but inside the carriage, under the influence of Xuantian Charcoal, it was as warm as spring.

Wearing a thick felt hat and looking younger, Zhao Yu lowered his head slightly, raised his hand and turned a page of the interrogation file on the desk, and asked slowly:

"Jiang Yue, who simplified the interrogation dossier for Xue Bancheng?"

As soon as the young emperor asked this question, the complexions of Jiang Yue and Xue Bancheng who were beside him changed slightly at the same time, and then Jiang Yue, who looked cold and stern, saluted and said respectfully:

"Returning to Your Majesty, for the interrogation of Xuebancheng, the Bei'an Palace, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Sitian Supervisor, and the Night Dire Division all had their own interrogation files. There are 15 volumes in total. After unification and reduction, it will be handed over to His Majesty for decision."

After Jiang Yue finished speaking, he paused for a breath, and continued to report:

"As for this streamlined person, the editor will be written by Grand Scholar Xiao Su, and we will be assisted by the Radiant Army and Night Dire Division who have participated in specific battles."

"It was originally written by Xiao Su. No wonder it has an extremely serious flavor. I read it and thought it was a trial of a heinous and treacherous criminal. No fault, but merit.”

Zhao Yu continued to raise his hand to turn over a page of the file, then raised his head, stared at Jiang Yue at the side, and continued to ask:

"Is what Xue Bancheng said in the interrogation dossier true or false?"

When the young emperor's inquiry fell, Jiang Yue's face instantly became extremely solemn, and Xue Bancheng subconsciously clenched his hands on his legs, because he was extremely intelligent and naturally understood that Zhao Yu's faint voice at this time Inquiry is the basis of the young emperor's decision on this matter.

Whether it is to accept Xue Bancheng to live in Daxia, or to continue to exile him back to the extreme northern snowfield tribe, it is based on the fact that Xue Bancheng has told the truth, otherwise, once he is convicted of deceiving the emperor, it will be a big problem for this The ending of Xuemin's youth is a dead word.

When Zhao Yu's emperor's voice lingered in the carriage, Jiang Yue, the fourth character of King Bei'an, then stood upright, bowed solemnly to Zhao Yu in front of him, and responded word by word with a solemn face:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the reason why the judicial departments of the imperial court have been discussing for more than ten days is to distinguish the authenticity of Xue Bancheng's statement for a long time, and according to the countless deduction of the thoughts of Si Tianjian and various monks, it proves that what the latter said is true. There is no logical problem with the confession."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yue bowed again, and then the resolute voice continued to sound:

"Therefore, I, Bei'an Wang Jiangshi, would like to guarantee Xuebancheng, and I implore His Majesty to allow him to become a member of Daxia!"

Chapter 0998

In the carriage driving in the south city of Tianmenguan, Jiang Yue's solemn pleading voice kept lingering back and forth.

Afterwards, the young prince pressed his forehead tightly to the back of his hand, unwilling to get up, and Xue Bancheng beside him also immediately kowtowed to the ground when he saw this.

The young emperor did not respond directly, but continued to read through the summary and simplification of the still thick interrogation dossier in front of him, and under the condition that Zhao Yu did not speak, no one, including Sima Annan, dared to make a sound , Therefore, the large carriage suddenly fell into a silence that could hear the drop of a needle.

Zhao Yu flipped through the files very quickly. Under the influence of countless thoughts, he could directly deduce the corresponding logic before and after with just a glance. Therefore, in this quiet carriage, all he had to do was flip through the files. Voice.

A moment later, Zhao Yu gently placed the file in his hand on the desk in front of him, raised his hand to signal Jiang Yue and Xue Bancheng to get up, and then said in a steady voice:

"Jiang Yue, you should be familiar with the content of this dossier. It tells about the grievance between King Bei'an and the former Ying family. On this point, Jiang Yu is sorry for you children. Don't you hate it? "

"I don't know what the brothers think, but as far as I am concerned, if the old man is still alive, I will hate him, but now that he is dead, and there is no body left, and tomorrow's big funeral will only be a grave, I don't hate it gone."

In Jiang Yue's response, there was no longer the strong hostility of the previous period. It can be seen that during the period when Zhao Yu arranged to guard the spirit at Tianmen Gate, his mental state had undergone a great change.

"I also understand you. Although you often do things in an eclectic manner and like to speak with your fists, you have always had your own judgments in matters of principle. Why would you and the entire Jiang family treat a snowman mixed-race youth whom you have never met before?" , so caring?

"If I remember correctly, this is the first time you have begged me since you joined the Radiant Army."

After the faint emperor's voice fell, Zhao Yu looked at Jiang Yue in front of him with curiosity in his black eyes.

In the Tianhui Army and Nightmare Division formed by Zhao Yu, every taboo has its own character traits, that is, such traits as tenacity, unyielding, tenacity, etc., which enable them to resist the sudden thousands of attacks. With ten thousand times skyrocketing cultivation and strength, he keeps his true heart, but for the little prince Jiang Yue, the characteristic he possesses is pride, the pride in his heart.

But such a person with such a proud heart pleads so for a stranger who has never met before, this is so inconceivable in the eyes of everyone who knows Jiang Yue.

Therefore, after Zhao Yu's inquiry fell, Sima Annan and the silent Liang Po looked at Jiang Yue beside him, and then Jiang Yue, who got up, narrowed his eyes, with a hint of memory in his eyes, and responded:

"Your Majesty, among the five children of King Bei'an, apart from Shanzi who just found out and was stolen, the elder brother and the second elder brother spend more time seeing their father, and the third elder brother and I have lived together since we were young." Shenjingcheng grew up and depended on each other for life. The total number of times he saw his father in this life can be counted on one hand.

"So my impression of him, like all the people in Shenjing City, comes from the mouth of the storyteller and the discussion of everyone after dinner. When I was young, I didn't dare to go out for a long time. Because as the son of Bei'an Wang Jiangyu, he will be made fun of."

After the words fell, Jiang Yue, who straightened his upper body, showed a self-deprecating smile, and slowly continued to speak:

"Your Majesty should know that our Shenjing City's generals and high-ranking officials' children were once divided into Liuye Lane and Zizhu Lane, but both sides kept me out, which shows the influence of my notorious father on me." So much, so when I was very young, I only hated him, but had no respect for him.

"But my third brother kept telling me that my father was an indomitable hero and an invincible general. I don't know where he got the news, but he often took me to the martial arts arena in the mansion. Pointing to the potholes on the martial arts arena, he told me that this was the trace left by his father.

"That's why I used to have the deepest impression of my father, who is one of the three kings of the Great Xia, King Bei'an, of the deep pits in the martial arts arena."

After Jiang Yue's voice fell, something strange appeared on the handsome face of Sima Annan who was listening, and then he said:

"Little prince, if I remember correctly, His Majesty Taizu named you the Jiang family as King of Bei'an, and shouldered the responsibility of guarding the western border. On the second day, the old prince led the northern army to march north, and Zizhu Lane in Shenjing City The Bei'an King's Mansion was built after this. According to the laws of Daxia, the vassal kings are not allowed to return to Beijing unless they are summoned. So in other words, Lord Bei'an King never lived in the mansion of Shenjing City. the pothole above."

Before Sima Annan's voice fell, Jiang Yue's voice with a hint of a smile sounded out:

"I know, one day I saw the third brother and his family smashing holes in the martial arts arena, and I knew it was used by him to lie to me. Later, when I grew up, I decided to find out everything about my father myself. So I didn't go to Dao Palace, nor did I go to other sects, but chose Bingzong, which is far away from Shenjing City.

"Bingzong was established by the Liang family, one of the fourteen surnames of Ying, and the Jiangliang family has always had a very good relationship. Therefore, in Bingzong, I knew a completely different King Bei'an, and he was also a completely different father. .”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yue's right hand was slowly clenched, and then with a solemn face, he said word by word:

"It's true that he hung around Yingying and Yanyan in his later years, and it's true that he did a lot of ridiculous things. It's no wonder that the storyteller spread his deeds to the entire Great Xia, but time and history will not be forgotten. Your Majesty and Great Xia will also I will never forget that when my father was young, he used a halberd to chop off countless thorns on the road ahead of the court, and when he was old, he used his flesh and blood to guard the supreme glory of peace in the western Xinjiang."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yue raised his right hand, beat his chest heavily, made a bang of armor crashing, and then let out a roar:

"Glory is destiny! It doesn't matter if people in the world don't understand my father, but we who are heirs must continue to hold on to this honor. The son will honor his father's promise and let Xuebancheng enter the Great Xia. This is the father's last will and promise. I Bei'an Wang Jiangshi will do their best to complete it and shoulder the responsibility of supervision."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yue kowtowed heavily to Zhao Yu, vowing to roll out:

"My subordinate Jiang Yue hereby swears that if Xue Bancheng betrays Daxia or the human race in the future, it is not just me. As long as there is one person from the Jiang family, one of the fourteen surnames of the winning family, who survives, then no matter Daoshan Sea of ​​blood, whatever the price, it must be killed."

Chapter 0999 Restaurant in the mountains

Because of the geographical relationship, as Tianmenguan, the northernmost city of Daxia, the sun and moon come and go, and the alternation of day and night is impermanent. The lifestyle of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, in other words, each of the hunters in Tianmenguan has its own unique work and rest time.

In this way, no matter what time it is, the brightly lit Tianmenguan South City will never be silent, and it will always be bustling.

This is a true city that never sleeps.

The layout of Tianmenguan South City is also very interesting. Perhaps because the north is the Bei'an Palace and the Iron Blood North City where the Northern Army is stationed, the merchants subconsciously move their industries to the south. Therefore, the further south, the restaurants, shops, inns and fireworks. The more places there are, the more prosperous it will be.

The largest restaurant in Tianmenguan is located on the south side, named Shanzhong Restaurant.

When the overwhelming snowflakes were flying back and forth in the sky, outside the gate of the restaurant in the mountains, which was extremely brightly lit, a large carriage from the north stopped slowly, and then the middle-aged commander of Tianmen Guansi Tianjian who was driving the carriage ahead quickly Step off the horse and quickly walk to the door.

The commander of the Sitian Supervisor at Tianmenguan is called Guo Ling, because the previous commander has returned to the headquarters of the Sitian Tower in Shenjing City due to his age, so he has just taken office not long ago. In his prime of life, Cheng Guozi's face was meticulous and his lips were tightly pursed. Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door of the carriage, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the restaurant has arrived."

After a few breaths, the door of the carriage opened, Liang Po's oppressive figure appeared first, and then a group of people walked out, then Zhao Yu raised his head, looked at this huge restaurant with a large area and bright lights outside, his eyes slightly squint.

Seeing this, the middle-aged commander Guo Ling explained softly from behind:

"Your Majesty, this restaurant is the most famous and busiest restaurant in the southern city of Tianmenguan, and it is named in the middle of a mountain, which roughly means standing in a hundred thousand mountains. After all, Tianmenguan is located in a hundred thousand mountains. And it is said that the shopkeeper is a wonderful person, and most of the diners come for this shopkeeper."

As soon as Guo Ling said this, the eyes of Sima Annan, who usually likes to join in the fun, lit up. Under the inconceivable gaze of the young girl Pearl, he opened his hand and grabbed a folding fan out of thin air, shaking it gently.

Little did they know how weird the scene of the young man waving his fan looked in the freezing cold and heavy snow, but Sima Annan didn't care, stepped closer to Guo Ling, and asked loudly:

"Commander Guo, boy, what I admire the most are extraordinary people. Dare I ask this shopkeeper, what is so wonderful about it?"

"I know, I know, the shopkeeper of this mountain building can speak good books. All the hunters in Tianmenguan will come here to listen to books when they have nothing to do on weekdays. This is also their favorite way of pastime."

As soon as Sima Annan's inquiry came to an end, the voice of the lively and pleasant girl Pearl Pearl, who was wearing a white animal jacket, followed. Then she looked up at the gate of the restaurant not far away, and continued to open her mouth and said:

"Daddy brought me here to listen to the book a few times, it is indeed very attractive, and the food inside is also delicious."

After finishing speaking, Pearl licked her lips, but her stomach made another growl, which made the girl blush again, and Sima Annan burst out laughing.

Then the middle-aged commander Si Tianjian with a serious face on the other side hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind to step forward, came to Zhao Yu's side, and said softly:

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing to report about the shopkeeper of this restaurant. The content of his usual storytelling may sound a bit inappropriate."

"Most of the content of this shopkeeper's storytelling is related to the old King Bei'an, right?"

Zhao Yu withdrew his gaze from the plaque with four big characters written on it above. After a faint voice came out, Guo Ling hurriedly bowed and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty Shengming, most of the rumors about the old Bei'an King that have been circulated throughout the Great Xia are actually spread from this restaurant, and then spread throughout the entire Great Xia through the mouths of the Chamber of Commerce who traveled all over the country."

"Then this shopkeeper who can tell stories is really an interesting person."

A smile appeared on Zhao Yu's majestic and handsome face, and then he glanced at the middle-aged Si Tianjian Commander who was hesitant to speak, and continued to ask:

"Guo Ling is afraid that I will be angry because of this, so he ordered this restaurant to be sealed up?"

"I dare not, but I am worried that the nonsense of the restaurant shopkeeper will displease His Majesty and the little prince."

"It doesn't matter, even the old Bei'an King and the Jiang family in Beicheng are not annoyed. Why should I be annoyed by allowing this restaurant to exist under my nose for so many years?"

After the calm emperor's voice fell, Zhao Yu's ebony black eyes showed intense interest, and then he took the lead towards the gate of the restaurant, and continued to speak:

"The shopkeeper of this restaurant probably has an unknown story with the old prince. I have seen the booklet Jiang Yu presented before, and the handwriting on the plaque of the restaurant above should be written by Jiang Yu himself."

As soon as the young emperor's words came out, the expressions of the people around him changed. Jiang Yue, who had pursed his lips and said nothing, had the most shock in his eyes. Then he took a deep look at the plaque above. , also looking around, Xue Bancheng followed with a look of curiosity, leaving only a faint voice lingering in place:

"It's probably another love debt!"

"Love debt?"

The somewhat ignorant girl Pearl murmured, and then she was about to quickly step forward to follow, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Sima Annan, who was standing tall beside him, still standing there, looking up at the restaurant plaque above, and then Pearl stopped. He stepped down, turned around and asked:

"Mr. Sima, won't you go in?"

"Go in, of course you have to go in and have a look. The shopkeeper of this restaurant is far more interesting than we thought."

After the response fell, Sima Annan put away the folding fan with a swipe, raised his finger and pointed to the word "山中" written in iron and silver hooks on the plaque above, and the clear voice continued to say:

"Because of being in this mountain, this is a poem that is widely circulated in the Central Plains of Daxia. In the eyes of ordinary people, the shopkeeper took the name "Mountain" to express that this inn is located in the northernmost mountain of [-] mountains in Daxia. And to me, it's actually a sigh.

"In the mountains, in the mountains, because there are tens of thousands of mountains around, just because you are in this mountain, this is a great tragedy and suffering!"

Chapter 1000 Storytelling

When Zhao Yu and others gently pushed open the door of the restaurant in the mountain, and then walked through five animal skin curtains for warmth and wind protection, and stepped into the lobby of the restaurant, they discovered that this is the most prosperous place in the southern city of Tianmenguan. The interior space of the restaurant is actually not as huge as what everyone sees from the outside.

"It's very quiet, and it's not as noisy as I imagined."

After the steady voice came from Zhao Yu, who was looking around, the young emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw that in the lobby of the restaurant, instead of candlelight, it looked like daytime, but only a few candles that radiated outwards. The dimly lit oil candles make the atmosphere in the lobby as quiet as the starry night sky.

"This place feels very unusual."

Sima Annan waved his folding fan, looking at the quiet lobby of the restaurant in front of him, and murmured. Under the faint orange light in the lobby, there were one or a group of people sitting at almost every table drinking wine in silence. The Tianmenguan hunters or merchants all looked solemn to each other, as if they were waiting for something.

Then a middle-aged guy who was walking around in the lobby of the restaurant saw Zhao Yu and others standing at the door, and hurried over. Just about to say hello, he suddenly saw the commander Guo Ling respectfully standing beside Zhao Yu, his eyes widened. Suddenly it was bright, and immediately quickened his pace, stepped forward and said:

"Commander Guo, you are a rare visitor. Please come here quickly. It happens that there is still a vacant room upstairs. I'll let someone make it available for you and your friends."

"Don't be so polite."

Guo Ling responded without changing his face, and then he glanced at Zhao Yu who was calm and pretentious, and then continued:

"There is no need to go to the box, we can just find a seat in the lobby, but remember to be close to the storytelling table."

"Okay, I'll arrange it now, everyone please follow me."

The middle-aged man is also a quick-witted person, without any further words, he immediately led the way, and then a group of people shuttled through half of the lobby, came to the center, stopped beside an empty seat, and then went to Sima Annan Looking at it before, he was surprised, and then a clear voice came out:

"No wonder I said that the lobby is smaller than I imagined. It turns out that there is another floor below. Is this a patio?"

"Young master has good eyesight. This is the table that our shopkeeper usually uses to tell books. Since you are all distinguished guests of my restaurant in the mountains, it is natural not to let the diners listen to the book with their heads up, so the shopkeeper made a mouthful at the bottom of the lobby. In the courtyard, a storytelling stand is set up, so that diners can listen to books while eating."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he raised his hand and beckoned Zhao Yu and the others to sit down, but what he didn't realize was that Xue Bancheng, who was silent behind everyone, was staring at the dark courtyard below, with blue eyes , full of deep horror.

Because Xue Bancheng clearly remembered that Jiang Yue had explained to him the complex structure of the Tianmen Pass ground and the firmness of the permafrost far beyond the extreme north, so he knew that he had to dig a hole on such a strong Xiongguan ground. How unusual is such a deep patio.

Then, when Xue Bancheng was thinking mentally, the middle-aged man exchanged gestures with Guo Ling, nodded, bowed and said:

"Lieutenant Guo, according to your instructions, we will serve some special dishes of our Tianmenguan. Please wait a moment for the distinguished guests. By the way, our shopkeeper said before that today's storytelling will start in a short while. If the distinguished guests have If you are interested, you might as well listen to it.”

After the middle-aged boy finished speaking, he showed a proud look on his face, raised his hand and pointed to the distance, and the voice continued:

"Our shopkeeper's storytelling is very popular in Tianmenguan. Most of the diners here come to listen to the shopkeeper's storytelling."

Before the middle-aged boy could finish his words, there was a sudden commotion in the entire lobby, and then a light was lit up in the courtyard below. In it, it was like a Kongming lantern slowly rising into the air, attracting everyone's attention.

After the light came out, the surroundings were slightly brightened, and then a table, a curtain erected, and behind the curtain, a vague figure whose real face could not be seen clearly.

"Everyone's luck is good, the shopkeeper immediately started to tell the story, there is no need to wait, the little one will leave first to arrange food, by the way, Captain Guo, the shopkeeper has ordered before, if you come to our restaurant in the mountains, the price will be half price .”

After the middle-aged boy smiled and saluted and left, Guo Ling, the commander-in-chief of Sitian Supervisor Tianmenguan, stepped forward to Zhao Yu who was looking down, and explained in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, every time the shopkeeper of this restaurant in the mountain tells a story, he seems to be so faceless. No one in Tianmenguan can know his appearance, and no one even reveals his name. It seems extremely mysterious, but it is so mysterious. It’s strange that a person like this is very familiar with the old prince’s deeds, and the Bei’an Palace is also indifferent to him, which is very weird.”

"Looking at the figure reflected by the light on the curtain, she is petite and exquisite, as I guessed before, it is a woman."

As soon as Zhao Yu's steady response sounded, there was a very clear and crisp sound of clapping the case in the courtyard below. Once this sound came out, it was like a sudden thunder on the ground, and all other sounds in the lobby of the restaurant disappeared without a trace. No trace, very quiet.

After a few breaths, a female voice with a bit of vicissitudes slowly came from below:
