three watch drums

The imperial decree to summon Zhuoyuemen had been issued to the yamen of various prefectures a few days earlier. It seemed that he was wanted in the whole city, and it took a lot of effort to finally find him.

Liu Jin, the magistrate of Suizhou, is a very honest person. Suizhou is adjacent to the border, but there are few troubles. Although the family does not close their doors at night, they live affluently. Liu Jin also feels relieved. Over the years, he has gained a lot In middle age, the stomach is slumped, but the face is not easy to grow flesh, and at most it looks like a softer and gentler person.

He entered the court on the same day as Zhuo Yuemen as an official, met once in front of the palace, said a few words, and somehow provoked... Zhuo Yuemen was still traveling around the world in the first month, and in the second month She just lived in Liu Jin's house and has no intention of leaving until now.

"How can this be good? The emperor's urging is tight, and the national teacher is not indifferent... Although I can't afford to offend both sides, I don't know what happened in Beijing in the remote frontier, how important it is, and whether it can't be delayed. ..." Liu Jin turned around anxiously in the hall, her white and tender skin seemed to relax a lot, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes grew three lines in half an hour, "I, an ordinary official, can also do these ghostly things. I don’t understand, so I can only worry about it.”

His hall was empty, except for Liu Jin himself, there was not even a single strand of hair, and he didn't know who to listen to these mutterings.

"Alas..." Turning around again, Liu Jin's uneasy mood finally eased, and when she was about to go to Zhuo Yue's concierge to persuade her again, she suddenly heard the butler's voice, "My lord... the national teacher is gone. Already!"

People went to the empty building, and the quilt was not even folded. The cup on the table had just made tea, and it was still hot outside. There were a few small chrysanthemums soaked in the bottom of the cup.There was still a "Be careful" written in water on the table, but Liu Jin just looked around blankly.

But today it is peaceful, what are you careful about?

Zhuoyuemen, who was just far away in Suizhou, has now arrived at the feet of the emperor, and the talisman paper in his hand has just burned to the end. This time, he learned to be smart and didn't go directly to the palace. It was peaceful, and did not cause another riot.

Su Heng obviously knew Zhuo Yuemen's nature very well. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Suzaku, Li Ruhai greeted him, without asking where he was, he just said, "The national teacher should rest first or see His Majesty first?"

"What a monster..." Zhuo Yuemen followed slowly with his hands behind his back, "Who are there in the palace?"

"Oh, the prince moved to live in the inner garden a few days ago. The demon lord just came yesterday, and Lord Luo Mingluo also came with him... But everything must be busy in the demon world, so he went back this morning." Li Ruhai said slightly After explaining a few words, he said again, "Your Majesty's mood is not very good, the national teacher should be cautious in his words and deeds."

"Su Chan is also in the palace?" Zhuo Yuemen paused, "Which palace is it? Go back and tell Su Heng to come see me."

He was told to "be cautious in his words and deeds" just now, but now he forgot, Li Ruhai sighed, "The original Xingyuan Palace Dongyuan where the noble concubine lived."

And in the East Garden of Xingyuan Palace, it was even more out of order. A half-palm-sized firefly landed on Su Chan's fingertips. After a flash of skill, the firefly suddenly went out, and he turned into Xie Changlin again. He was tall and majestic. The little one was stuffed into Su Chan's arms, and the small stool couldn't stand turning back, just in time for Zhuo Yuemen to see him eating shit.

"...Why are you two here?" Zhuo Yuemen touched the face full of flourishing peach blossoms, "But I haven't returned for two months, so I don't think I'm going to throw myself into the ground?"

If it wasn't for the long-armed and long-legged Xie Changlin on his body, Su Chan would definitely have kicked him.

"Not yet," Su Chan sighed, although he was used to Zhuo Yuemen's narcissism in his heart, but he still found it inconceivable when he saw it every time. He asked again, "When did you come back?"

Immediately, Su Chan discovered a problem, Zhuo Yuemen didn't have a deep friendship with him, and with his nature, he entered the palace as soon as he came back... Could it be that something happened outside?

"Changlin...I have a conversation with the national teacher, you go back to the room first." Su Chan hadn't gotten used to the sudden change of address, and his tongue was a little knotted, which also made the "Changlin" yell strange. As it passed by, it became more and more ambiguous.

Su Chanquan pretended not to see the gossip on Zhuo Yuemen's face, and continued, "Master, come with me."

No prosperity can last long. When the Great Chu was passed to Su Heng, although it still did not show signs of decline, the foreign enemies were always eyeing.The assassination incident in Chong'an in 17 years is an introduction.

The killers bred in the harsh environment are all extremely desperate fighters, and the successive years of battles are even more fierce.Perhaps due to the disparity in national power, the tribes outside the Great Wall have not made any moves yet, but the Great Chu has always valued civility over military affairs. With the accumulation of time, it will be impossible to guard against any changes in one day.

What's more, the matter of Badu's assassination of the twins has been pursued since the first emperor, and the clues were cut off several times in the middle, and Su Heng also refused to give up. On the surface, the old relationship between the two countries has been restored, but it is just a precarious window. Almost all of them were left on Su Chan's tongue.

If he is willing to explain the events of those years clearly, there will be no peace in the world.

Disputes in the world already have an extremely base and dirty side. When these things hidden in the dark know the existence of demons and goblins, they seem to suddenly have self-confidence—no matter how cruel the means are, they are still "human beings", just one word It's like emerging from the mud.

Da Chu respected Taoism, checks and balances demons and ghosts, and after forming a three-legged confrontation, various tribes also rushed to follow suit. Ba Du facilitated the establishment of Shen Tu under the Khan, and his status was equivalent to the national teacher of Da Chu. Gao Tong is rare in the world.

"I just came back from Suizhou." Zhuo Yuemen nestled comfortably on the chair, using the long journey as an excuse to take advantage of it, "On the surface, nothing happened, and it was very safe. I followed Liu Jin to the ground twice. At most, the weasel in the East Village stole the chicken and eloped with the daughter of a member of the West Village."

Since Su Chan returned to court, he and Zhuo Yuemen will leave Beijing once every other year, to look around the world, to pay attention to the changes in Feng Shui - such small things, Su Chan rolls up his sleeves and happily Likes to do a favor, and occasionally wanders around more than Liu Jin, the parent officer, has encountered such things as delivering a baby.

But people like Zhuo Yuemen who don't touch the sun with their fingers, just take a look, raise their eyebrows and leave without interfering.

"It's all nonsense, it's important." After so many years of mutual estrangement, it's still not clear what the other party is thinking?If it was all trivial matters, Zhuo Yuemen would definitely not make a special trip to the palace - his house is so nice, it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

"...Do you still remember what is the boundary between Dachu and Badu?" Zhuo Yuemen gave him a blank look.

"The river...it's not exactly what it is." Su Chan pondered for a while, "It's a long and meandering river, a hundred feet deep but only half a meter wide."

"That's right, this river has no name so far, so it's called the Wuming River..." Zhuo Yuemen continued, "I heard the dragon chant on the Wuming River."

Since the opening of Hongmeng, there has been only one dragon in this world. After several generations of catastrophes, the sky and the earth have collapsed, and this dragon has been lying on the ground, supporting tens of thousands of hectares of loess with its spine, and turning into a dragon vein over time.The seven feet of the keel is where the spiritual energy gathers the most. The Great Chu Palace was built at this seven feet.

But if there is really someone raising a dragon in the Wuming River, where did the dragon come from?What is it for?What's more - who raised it?

"Without the blood of a real dragon, it can only be transformed by a snake... If a snake transforms into a dragon, there are five stages in succession. Before it can ascend, it is always a demon. Since it is a demon, it should be recorded in the demon world."

Su Chan flicked the fly whisk in his hand. Usually, the whisk that is paired with the bald cinnabar brush is hidden in Yao Guang's belly, but since he climbed up to Xie Changlin, the benefactor, his whole body has been completely new from top to bottom. ——I can't see any sour smell, even the fur of the whisk has been replaced with a new one... It is said that Luo Ming has become bald.

"..." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhuo Yuemen always felt that he was showing off.

What I said before was almost done, Li Ruhai led Su Hengcai to knock on the door.

This huge imperial city is Su Heng's home. Even if she broke in, no one dared to say a word, but probably because she saw the word "Xingyuan Palace", she couldn't help but be more polite. Even the gate of the courtyard Knocked all over again.

She used to live in this courtyard too, and later she was formally canonized as the prince, and moved out alone. Although there were palace servants who took good care of her, she was still young at that time, and when she woke up in a dream every night and did not dare to cry, she still I miss my brother and mother.

"..." The atmosphere in Dongyuan today is a bit unusual. Normally, three people can make it a bustling street, but moving in with one more Xie Changlin shouldn't make it so deserted.

Su Heng's expression froze, and then he thought that maybe what happened this time was really unusual, so that he was so cautious, but he didn't know that there were two groups of people hiding here, and Chen Yu and Yao Guang wanted to keep Su Chan. With this opportunity, maybe Qingyuan Guan will have a bigger backer in the future, and Xie Changlin was blasted into the room.

"Come in and talk." Su Chan emerged from the hall, holding a snow-white dust whisk in his hand, as if he would transform into a fairy at any time, and Su Heng's heart sank again—what could make her always so poor and simple? Brother Huang suddenly became extravagant.

"What's the matter?" She even left Li Ruhai outside the door, and told the old eunuch to keep watch and not allow anyone to approach, then she asked, "A few days ago, the magistrate of Suizhou sent a letter to Beijing...but Baba What's going on? I said earlier that this disaster cannot be tolerated!"

Compared with the former emperor's soft policy, Su Heng has always been the main battler, and has not allowed Badu to grow in recent years. Firstly, the most elite soldiers and horses are stationed on the border of Suizhou, and there are even monks who accompany the army; secondly, For all the surrounding tribes who intend to provoke troubles, Da Chu will secretly help, so that Ba Du will always remain in a state of being overwhelmed.
