Chapter 28 Silver Knife

On the fifth day after Princess Qinghe returned to the imperial capital, the emperor ordered to go to Jiushao Palace to escape the summer heat and prepare for this year's autumn in Ulsan.

A group of officials from Shangshutai, Taipu Temple, and the pro-military Duwei's Mansion burned anointed sundials, seized the day and night, and arranged all the government affairs of the imperial capital, the itinerary of the emperor, and the defense along the way. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Wuying Hall headed by Xie Chuda was close. The guards accompanied us all the way, and were secretly guarded by the shadow guards of the emperor headed by Ling Qi. On the third day of the sixth lunar month, the imperial chariot set off, and all the officials left, surrounded by chariots in front and behind, and drove away from the imperial capital in a mighty manner. .

Jiushao Palace is the summer garden of the emperor, built in Pingjing, Zhongzhou.Pingjing is four or five days away from the imperial capital. Because of its grand city and the location of the Summer Palace, it is also called the second capital of Zhongzhou.

Ulsan is located in the northern outskirts of Pyongyang, and is the largest hunting ground in Kyushu. Since the founding of the country, large-scale autumn hunting has been held here in July and August.

This is the first time since the King Qi Rebellion four years ago, the emperor came to Pingjing to hold Ulsan Autumn Festival.King Qi is the eldest son of the Empress Dowager, and the Zhong family is a noble family, with intertwined influence and wide-ranging influence. Although the Son of Heaven seeks to regain his power in a dangerous situation, the government and the opposition are in turmoil for a while, so Qiu Xi has stopped for four years. Once the decree came out, As soon as the guards of the Imperial Guard came, the princes of the aristocratic families were all gearing up and waiting to show their talents.

When they arrived in Pingjing, everyone was in a hurry to settle down. After five or six days, once the affairs were back on track, they began to have uncontrollable thorns, and they set up a scene to compete in private.

A group of high-ranking fighters, dozens of people gathered in one place to grab the red command flag hanging on the top of a slippery wooden pillar in the center of the arena.

Ever since Xinghui was threatened by Chu Heng at the gate of Jingcheng Hall, he has been following Su Lang closely, for fear of being caught by Chu Heng alone.At this moment, the two of them passed by the garden, and they happened to meet warriors who were pulling me, and I dragged you and squeezed each other to trip each other, and no one would let the other go up.

Xing Hui took a look twice, eager to try with a playful heart, quietly raised his eyes to look at Su Lang, when Su Lang saw Xing Hui's eyes, he knew that he would not be able to stop him, so he nodded his head in agreement.

Xinghui, who got the approval, almost followed the bird out of the cage. He was so happy that he flew onto the stage. Goshawk's three-fold light kung fu and body skills jumped over the crowded crowd, and tapped his toes on the wooden pillar in the center three times. , Leaping directly to the top of the pillar, he pulled down the command flag and spun down.

However, the other warriors are not vegetarians. They suddenly killed a person out of thin air, took advantage of their unpreparedness and seized the flag, and no one was convinced. Ming Yu was among them.

Huyuelongfei followed up with one step, and Ming Yu reached out to grab the command flag in Xinghui's hand.Naturally, no weapons are used in such a competition, only fists and kicks are discussed.Xinghui belonged to the south hall of the Hall of Martial Heroes, and the warriors from the north hall swarmed up to help Ming Yu besiege in all directions. Obviously, those from the south hall would not let them succeed, so they rushed up and held them back. A group of people became a mess.

Standing on the porch, Su Lang looked at a group of "birds" in the center of the stage who were flying and landing, rising and landing, competing with each other, and couldn't help laughing.

At the end of the long corridor, the emperor's guard on duty suddenly walked over quickly, with a solemn expression, and whispered something to Su Lang, and Su Lang's smile froze immediately.

"Bandits?" Xinghui took the handkerchief that Su Lang handed him, and wiped his sweat: "The group we met in Anfan City?"

Su Lang nodded: "Jiang Chengan set off from Lianyan City on the seventh day of June to Pingjing to plead guilty. Yesterday evening, fifty miles south of Anfan City, at the crossroads between China and Wan, he was killed by bandits and hacked to death. He was found this morning. The prefect of Anfan, Qin Fang, sent someone six hundred li to rush to report to the imperial court just now."

Xinghui threw the handkerchief into the basin: "South of the city? That's the boundary of Wanzhou? The princess arrived in the imperial capital on May [-]th, and he really can hold his breath."

Xinghui changed his clothes, packed his luggage, and went to face saint with Su Lang.

As soon as he entered Qingde Hall, Xinghui saw Chu Heng who had been hiding away for the past month. Speaking of it, it seemed that he hadn’t seen his senior brother for a long time since he was threatened by Chu Heng last time, but today is June thirteenth, in a few days, it will be sixteenth again, he still has to hide, if Chu Heng really wants to beat him, on the sixteenth day, no one can save him.

Seeing Xinghui coming in, Chu Heng only raised his eyelids and glanced at him, expressionless.

The two invited Ann, and Ling Ye asked: "Ling Qi said that you met a bandit once?"

Su Lang should say: "I have fought against them, it was in the north of Anfan City, located in Zhongzhou, they were just probing, but all of them are masters."

There was no expression on Ling Ye's face. He said "Yes" and asked a few more words. Then, he drew up a decree. Jiang Jian, the emperor of the Hall of Martial Arts, went to the funeral in Lianyan City, and sent the letter of husband of Princess Anchang of the Qing Dynasty together. and bring it back.

Jiang Jian is the patriarch's son sent to the imperial capital by the Jiang family, and the bastard son of Anping Bo Jiang Zhengyang, who is not valued by the Jiang family.As soon as the news about Jiang Chengan's son-in-law was revealed, he knelt down in front of the Hall of Respect and Plead for his brother's guilt as soon as it reached his ears, and Ling Ye didn't make things difficult for him.

It's just that even though Jiang Chengan is dead now, the bastard things he did can't be done like this anymore, the princess divorces her husband, it is imperative.

He also sent a decree to Jingdu, Wanzhou, and ordered Muyan of Wanzhou to investigate the case of the murder of Jiang Chengan, the eldest son of Uncle Anping, and Qin Fang, the prefect of Anfan, assisted him.Since it is a bandit, the governor of Wanzhou can hardly shirk the blame, and then ordered the governor of Wanzhou to make meritorious service to atone for his crimes, eliminate the bandits in the state, and maintain law and order.

The Son of Heaven obviously didn't want to bother with this matter, so he blocked their mouths before Mrs. Jiang made any move.

The killing of Jiang Chengan this time was actually not a matter of great concern to Ling Ye.Since he already knew the beginning and end of King Jing and Jiang Shi, whether Jiang Chengan died or not was actually not very important to him, but to Jiang Shi, his vitality was greatly hurt.

King Jing wanted a strong man to sever his wrist, and was worried that the emperor would notice something, and he had to kill Jiang Chengan if he asked something here, but in fact, the emperor knew everything that the emperor should know.

The dead are indeed the best at keeping secrets, but the dead are also the easiest to make waves.

Compared to his elder brother King Qi, King Jing Lingyi is still very young.

Xing Hui walked in a hurry when facing the saint, and when he came back to sort out the changed clothes, he realized that the small silver knife for poison testing hanging from his belt was missing.

Seeing his frown, Su Lang asked, "What's wrong?"

Xinghui was about to go out: "The little silver knife my uncle left for me is gone, I have to look for it."

"Did it fall in the garden? There are too many people on the martial arts stage today, maybe it fell off."

Su Lang accompanied him back to look for it, but after searching three times, he still didn't see the silver knife, Xinghui was depressed.

"Report it to the Imperial Army tomorrow, and ask them to take a look. Maybe someone picked it up." Su Lang patted Xinghui on the back, comforting him.

Xinghui reluctantly nodded, then looked back into the garden, feeling sad, and followed Su Lang back.

The four-inch-long poison-testing small silver knife was held in the hand, and the delicate and complicated carved patterns on the scabbard were gently rubbed over and over again. The soft candlelight sprinkled on the silver knife, reflecting the pious and nostalgic eyebrows and eyes of the knife-holder, tender and lingering .

The silver knife pierced the flesh, and the blood slowly snaked down the knife groove, leaving bright red marks on the blade, and then dripped on the intricate lines of the scabbard, blooming magnificent flowers one after another.

The silver light was stained with blood, dazzling the eyes, very much like that person's voice and smile.

I seem to have merged with you, and finally touched your temperature.

"Sir," he said.
