Incredible
Chapter 70 is over, come on!
☆, the end of the day
Before the hour came and the sky was still dark, Shen Yao looked for Tantai Che with a sword on his shoulder.
Tantai stood up with his clothes on.He sat in the yard with a jug of wine in his hand, instructing Shen Yao how to master the strengths of various schools and schools of swordsmanship.He taught Shen Yao for half an hour, and praised for the first time: "You have some martial arts talent."
Shen Yao was very excited.
As the sun rose, Shen Yao finished his sword practice, bid farewell to Tantai Che, and went to Chongming Hall.Wei Lingfeng had already arrived at the main hall of Chongming Hall. The tables and chairs around were overturned, and the ground was covered with debris, all of which were traces of fighting.
"It was such a big mess last night?" Shen Yao stepped over the threshold, "I thought it was just a small fight."
"Junior brother, I'm so busy, why don't you help me?" Qian Xingzhi complained.
Hearing Qian Xingzhi's words, Shen Yao quickly lifted the curtain and walked into the room.He thought that Chongmingtang's losses were heavy, but when he took a closer look, there were only two patients sitting on the chairs, and their injuries didn't look serious.
Shen Yao frowned and said, "Senior Brother Jiu, are you too busy?"
Qian Xingzhi looked out of the window, returning home like an arrow: "Hey, you don't understand, an inch of time is an inch of gold. If you help me, I can go home early. There are several beautiful sisters waiting for me at home. How can you bear to let them stay alone?"
But Shen Yao said: "Senior brother Jiu, when you are treating illnesses, you shouldn't have distracting thoughts."
Qian Xingzhi lowered his head, took a deep breath, and responded with the determination of a strong man: "You are right."
Shen Yao put down the door curtain and walked towards Wei Lingfeng again.
Wei Lingfeng sat on an undamaged chair, and the master of Chongming Hall stood aside.The hall master handed a book to Wei Lingfeng, and said: "Young Master Mingjian, this is the only book left."
Shen Yao leaned over and asked, "What is it?"
Wei Lingfeng said: "Jinse's..." Before he finished speaking, Shen Yao opened the book and just turned to a page, which wrote: Jinse, from Liangzhou, was born in the third year of Yuanchun.
Shen Yao looked at it and exclaimed: "Jinse is from Liangzhou? It's strange, what does she have to do with the Duan family? I thought at the time that she seemed to have been waiting for Duan Wuhen, and I didn't know how Duan Wuhen was doing now. But, with Duan Wuhen's martial arts and net worth, no one in the Jianghu would dare to provoke him."
Wei Lingfeng nodded, and replied, "What you said is very true."
This sentence reminded Shen Yao of last night.Shen Yao's face was reddish, and he said to him from left to right: "When I go to the capital, I will check that old thief Duan Yongxuan."
From this day on, Shen Yao went to Tantai Che to practice martial arts every morning, received Wei Lingfeng's instruction at noon and afternoon, and at night studied martial arts alone, or prepared necessary medicines for going out.About half a month later, he got Yuntang's approval and successfully joined a team going to the capital.
On the day when everyone left, Shen Yao experienced what Qian Xingzhi called "an extremely comfortable carriage".Sitting in the carriage, Shen Yao really wanted to lie down and sleep. He couldn't help but said: "Hey, silk and satin should not be used as carriage cushions. As soon as I sat on it, my bones became limp."
Wei Lingfeng is reading a book.He turned over a page and replied, "You can lie on my lap."
There are not only the two of them in the carriage, but also money.
When Qian Xingzhi heard that Shen Yao and Wei Lingfeng were going to the capital, he wanted them to bring him with him, and he also said that "the three juniors of the Danyi School depend on each other for their lives, and he cannot be left alone in the lair of the Demon Cult".
On the way, Qian Xingzhi was not without emotion: "Haha, I heard that the capital is full of flowers and beautiful people like clouds."
Shen Yao questioned: "Senior Brother Jiu, is that why you insist on going to the capital?"
Qian Xingzhi said honestly, "I want to go to the capital because I don't care about you."
He restrained his smile, and his eyes were clear and cold: "I am nostalgic for the gentle country, addicted to the pile of rouge, and provoke love debts. But I pay more attention to brotherhood. This trip will be bad or bad, I know. If I die outside , you collect the corpse for me, I will die without regrets, and live up to the teachings of my master and ancestors."
Both Wei Lingfeng and Shen Yao were touched by him and looked at him quietly.He suddenly smiled and clapped his hands and said: "Elder brother, younger brother, as the saying goes, life is impermanent, enjoy yourself in time. When our team passes by the brothel, shall we go in and have fun?"
Wei Lingfeng put the booklet in his hand on Qian Xingzhi's forehead: "There will be many dangers along the way, I advise you to be pure-hearted and avoid wishful thinking."
Shen Yao echoed, "The three major killer sects are still chasing and killing the elder brother."
"Pure heart and few desires," Qian Xingzhi sniffled, "It's easy to say, but hard to do. Senior brother, how did you do it? Can you teach me?"
Wei Lingfeng pointed him with a very experienced look: "Every night, meditate to eliminate desires, meditate on your own past..."
Shen Yao said: "I don't believe it."
Qian Xingzhi was a little puzzled: "Little brother, what's wrong with you, don't you think what the senior brother said is very reasonable?"
Shen Yao only said: "My waist is still very sore."
Qian Xingzhi frowned: "Were you tired yesterday?"
"Almost exhausted." Shen Yao leaned his head on the soft pillow.
Qian Xingzhi caught Shen Yao's pulse, and out of the corner of his eye, he didn't notice the change in Wei Lingfeng's expression.Qian Xingzhi checked his pulse and said in a very confused way: "I'm restless and impatient, the water and fire are not good, the yin is often insufficient, and there are too many things...Little brother, although you are in the middle of your life, you are just a doctor. How can you not be restrained?"
Shen Yao grabbed the book in Wei Lingfeng's hand and used it to cover his face.The wheels ran over the stone road, and there was a sudden pause. Shen Yao's head swung and hit Wei Lingfeng's leg.
Wei Lingfeng said to Shen Yao: "From now on, I will pay more attention. I went to the capital this time, and there are many bad luck and bad luck. I didn't want to go with you..."
"To die and die together," Shen Yao replied, "To live and live together."
Wei Lingfeng and his party pretended to be Miaoling's caravan, set off from Miaoling, detoured through several towns, and encountered two groups of bandits on the way.The martial arts of those bandits were far from being comparable to those of Wei Lingfeng and others, and they were killed within a short while.
They set off for half a month and arrived in Tingzhou.
Tingzhou has picturesque scenery and simple folk customs, but Shen Yao does not want to stay for a long time.Because, according to rumors in the world, the hometown of the head of the Liuguang School, Tan Baiqing, is in Tingzhou, and Tan Baiqing is a native of Tingzhou.
"There are seventeen people in our team," Wei Lingfeng said bluntly, "we have to take a break."
Shen Yao sat up straight and said, "I understand. But, brother, you look so conspicuous in the crowd. Xiao Huaishan is too. Everyone in the world has heard the name 'Black-faced judge Xiao Huaishan'. I have traveled far and wide. In the past few months, I have never seen anyone with darker skin than Xiao Huaishan. This time, Xiao Huaishan is also in our team... As soon as he gets out of the carriage, I guarantee that he will be recognized immediately. "
Wei Lingfeng found a roll of blue cloth and wrapped it around Shen Yao's face, only his eyes were exposed.Shen Yao asked again: "Is this the dress of the Donglan school?"
"Yes," Wei Lingfeng said, "When the lower-level disciples of the Donglan Sect go out, they can't show their foreheads and mouths."
"What is a lower-level disciple?" Shen Yao tugged on the blue cloth, "The disciples of the Donglan Sect are divided into three levels?"
Wei Lingfeng nodded.
Shen Yao sneered: "What are you doing? The name 'Junior Disciple' sounds inferior. They have to block their faces when they go out. It's really miserable."
Wei Lingfeng got his head wrapped around himself before getting out of the carriage with Shen Yao one after the other.Qian Xingzhi followed behind them, watching his nose, nose and heart.Everyone in their team lived in an inn run by the teacher.The shopkeeper has seen the token in Wei Lingfeng's hand, and his attitude can be called respectful.
That night, Wei Lingfeng and Shen Yao lived in the same room.
Shen Yao was practicing sword in the house, and Wei Lingfeng was reading under the lamp.Although Wei Lingfeng's eyes were not on Shen Yao, whenever Shen Yao made a mistake, Wei Lingfeng would remind him: "Wrong."
Shen Yao rectified humbly and moved forward with his sword horizontally.
The door was opened suddenly, Qian Xingzhi staggered and rushed in.He said: "Elder brother, younger brother, why do I live alone in a room and you two live together. Don't think I don't know..."
Wei Lingfeng closed the book: "Know what?"
Qian Xingzhi laughed loudly: "Are you two..."
Shen Yao's palm holding the sword was slightly wet with sweat.However, Qian Xingzhi said: "Are you two trying to practice martial arts behind my back? I have been thinking in the room just now, why the two of you are always whispering along the way. I finally figured it out, because the younger brother and Big brother has martial arts now, but I don’t! Hey, I don’t. You two discuss sword skills and take care of my feelings. You don’t want to hurt my heart. So, you always have to whisper and live Let's secretly compete together, right?"
Seeing the sword in Shen Yao's hand, Qian Xingzhi sighed immediately: "It really is so!"
He took a step forward and hugged Shen Yao tightly: "You are really a good brother of Brother Jiu! I didn't know before that you are so cautious, gentle and considerate."
Shen Yao pushed him away, but he couldn't deny it, so he could only say: "Senior Brother Jiu, it's getting late..."
Qian Xingzhi flicked his robe: "Tonight, I will share the same bed with you."
Shen Yao was surprised: "What?"
Qian Xingzhi was moved by the brotherhood he imagined, and he couldn't help saying: "We are three brothers and sisters, and we depend on each other. From now on, I will not be separated from you day and night."
The book in Wei Lingfeng's hand was covered by him on his face.
Qian Xingzhi misunderstood: "Brother, are you overjoyed?"
Wei Lingfeng responded calmly: "Yes."
It was night, and the three brothers and sisters were huddled together on the same bed.Shen Yao was in the middle, Wei Lingfeng was on his left, and Qian Xingzhi was lying on his right.
The bed curtains were down, and the bed was peaceful and peaceful.
Qian Xingzhi quickly fell asleep and snored slightly.But he slept in an indecent position, stretched out his long legs, and put them on Shen Yao's body.
Shen Yao woke up from the dream. In the chaos, he saw green smoke and a slender sword standing outside the tent.
The poisoned, blackened sword pierced through the gauze curtain, pulled out a sword flower as the smoke rose, and stabbed straight at Shen Yao's chest.
Shen Yao didn't have time to dodge, and he was even more afraid that after he dodged, the poisonous sword would hurt the two senior brothers.
Before he could yell out, another long sword lay across in front of him, blocking the stabbing poisonous sword.
Shen Yao looked sideways, only to realize that Wei Lingfeng had woken up.
Wei Lingfeng turned over and got out of bed.Shen Yao kicked Qian Xingzhi to wake him up, and shouted: "There is a killer! There is a killer!" Then he also drew his sword out of its sheath, and fought with a masked man in black inside the house.
The man in black has high internal strength, but Shen Yao's movements are treacherous.Relying on the "Frost and Cold Sword" technique taught by Tan Taiche, Shen Yao cut off two fingers of a man in black. The man in black loosened his wrist, and Shen Yao kicked up the wall again. There is a move called "Tianxiao King Kong Jue".
Although Shen Yao has just started practicing the "Tianxiao King Kong Jue", he is superior in his understanding, quick moves, and a peerless sword.The man in black had half of his head cut off by Shen Yao on the spot, and his brains splashed all over the floor.
Not far away, Wei Lingfeng pierced the chest of another man in black.Shen Yao recognized that the sword in Wei Lingfeng's hand was the "Guangbing Sword" he picked up in Anjiang City.
The Guangbing Sword is indeed the Excalibur of the world.The light of the sword flowed, cutting the iron like mud, and cut a flat wound on the man in black's ribs, as if measuring with a ruler first, and then sawing the man's chest with a saw.
Compared with the Guangbing Sword, the sword in Shen Yao's hand can only be regarded as scrap metal.
Both black-clothed killers were dead, the ground was covered with blood, and the smell was pungent.
Shen Yao shouted: "Elder brother."
Wei Lingfeng put Guangbingjian away: "Are you okay?"
Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm fine, how about you, brother?"
Wei Lingfeng opened the door: "I'm fine, go see other people."
Qian Xingzhi hadn't come back to his soul yet, he murmured blankly: "What the hell is wrong with the world." Shen Yao turned around and waved to him: "Senior Brother Ninth, follow us closely."
Qian Xingzhi rushed over like a wild horse, even following Shen Yao's footsteps.
Wei Lingfeng summoned everyone in the team.Tonight, a group of killers raided and used the best ecstasy incense. Even though there were so many experts in the team, one swordsman was still injured.This swordsman is Xiao Huaishan's friend.
Xiao Huaishan worried: "Is the injury serious?"
"It's all right," Shen Yao took out a bottle of golden sore medicine, "Fortunately, he didn't touch the poisonous sword, he just hit the wall and sprained his muscles and bones. I'll apply the medicine on him for two days, and he should be fine."
Xiao Huaishan clasped his fists and said: "Doctor Shen is really a genius doctor." Then he said with emotion: "Doctor Shen's martial arts has improved rapidly, he is capable of writing and martial arts, he is really a genius."
Shen Yao said with a smile: "What kind of genius am I..."
Qian Xingzhi couldn't help recalling: "Hey, little brother, do you know? When I set up a stall in Yingtian Mansion, someone gave me a pair of couplets. The first couplet is about helping flowers and willows to show your skill. The second couplet is about saving lives and healing wounds. .”
"Senior Brother Ninth is amazing," Shen Yao praised, "Senior Brother Ninth, let's go for an autopsy now."
Qian Xingzhi's breath was stagnant, but he still agreed.A total of 24 killers came tonight, all of which were solved by them.They lived on the highest floor of the inn. On this floor, all the people living in the Demon Cult lived.
Wei Lingfeng lifted the veil from the corpse, and inspected the calluses they cultivated from years of martial arts practice, and concluded: "It is indeed a member of the Killer Sect."
Shen Yao picked up a residual incense stick on the ground.He picked up the incense head, smelled the scent of the spice, and felt it was very familiar. After thinking about it again, his heart was sour and his whole body felt cold.
Wei Lingfeng asked him, "What did you see?"
"This kind of ecstasy incense," Shen Yao said frankly, "is like Brother Xu's handwriting."
"Xu Xingxiu?" Qian Xingzhi continued.
Shen Yao said: "Xu Xingxiu, Brother Xu."
Qian Xingzhi squatted beside Shen Yao, feeling melancholy: "Damn it, does Xu Xingxiu want to kill the three of us? He and I are friends who have urinated together."
Shen Yao wrapped the spices with a handkerchief, and teased, "Nowadays, even if you slept with him, it won't work."
"Huh?" Qian Xingzhi asked back, "How do two men go to bed?"
Shen Yao hesitated to speak.
Qian Xingzhi realized it by himself, and repeatedly praised: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful."
Because his whereabouts were revealed, Wei Lingfeng took the team to another route, and arranged four people to be on duty every night.His decision was very correct. In the following trip, they never met anyone from the Killer Sect again.
Near the end of the month, Wei Lingfeng and his party arrived in the capital.
The guards in the capital are very strict.Those who enter the city, if they are martial arts practitioners, must report to the school and are not allowed to carry weapons.
The soldiers guarding the city searched everyone, carefully scrutinized their faces, and made sure that no one was disguised.Every morning and evening, there are martial arts masters sitting at the gate of the city, waiting to see if the people entering the city have internal strength. There are many barriers and obstacles, making the word "entering the city" extremely difficult.
Martial arts people, ordinary people, literati and merchants can only go through the west gate and north gate when they enter the city.
When princes and nobles enter the city, they usually go through the east gate.
When the carriage circled into the east gate, Shen Yao lowered his voice and said, "Brother, how can we go through the east gate?"
Qian Xingzhi echoed, "A group of common people deserve to go through the East Gate?"
While talking, the carriage stopped, and the officer raised the curtain and said hello, "Masters, do you want to enter the city?"
Wei Lingfeng handed the officer a letter and a golden token.The official took over and stood outside the carriage for a long time.
At this time, it was Yin time in the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the morning sun was hazy.Several officers and soldiers at the city gate lowered their voices, and said to Wei Lingfeng in the carriage: "My lord, you have to go into the city to talk about it, but you still can't carry weapons, and let the younger ones take inventory."
Wei Lingfeng said hello.
Everyone's weapons were hidden in the interlayer baffle of the carriage.Wei Lingfeng had once filled the interlayer with lead, so when the officials hit the carriage with a hammer, they could only hear a solid sound.There were only soft pillows on the carriage, and Wei Lingfeng and others used the Lingnan secret method to hide their internal strength, and their breathing was no different from that of ordinary people.The officials who guarded the city waited and watched for a while, relieved, and allowed Wei Lingfeng and others to enter the city.
The carriage is drifting away.
Shen Yao questioned: "These officials neither searched me nor looked at my face. Brother, who wrote the letter you gave them?"
Wei Lingfeng said frankly, "Chu Kairong."
Shen Yao asked again: "Has Chu Kairong returned to the capital?"
Wei Lingfeng told the truth: "Chu Kairong, Duan Wuhen, Tan Baiqing, as well as the leader of the martial arts alliance, the owner of the Yaowang Valley, and the owner of the No. [-] village in the world, these people are all gathered in the capital now."
Shen Yao pondered: "The five great families are having a meeting, why would Tan Baiqing join in the fun? As the head of the Liuguang faction, Tan Baiqing, does he have a personal relationship with the martial arts family?"
"Duan Wuhen just came back from Ximang Village," Wei Lingfeng explained patiently, "Tan Baiqing is a witness to the incident in Ximang Village."
On the night when he escaped from Yingtian Mansion, Shen Yao remembered that Duan Wuhen went straight to Ximang Village.From this, Shen Yao guessed: "Could it be that Duan Wuhen wants to disclose the case of Ximang Village at the family meeting? If so, Duan Wuhen is too courageous. He is not afraid that his father will break his leg ?”
Qian Xingzhi showed a sad face: "His father will stab us to death first. Now, we are all real members of the Demon Cult. Hey, how did I get to this point?"
Shen Yao said: "Ninth Senior Brother, when you played with young girls in the Devil's Cult, you looked very happy and satisfied."
Qian Xingzhi raised his sleeves to cover his face.
Three days later, the family meeting was held as scheduled.
Shen Yao put on a new disguise and even put on a man.Leather.Tool.This kind of thing is made from the skin of a dead person, and a piece of skin can only be worn for one day.Along the way, Shen Yao was not willing to use it.It wasn't until the family meeting was held that he turned the mask out.
The five great families are divided into Zhao, Jiang, Duan, Zheng, and Chu.Among them, the Zhao family has the most warriors, the most widely distributed, and the most chaotic family rules.Shen Yao dressed like a Zhao family swordsman.He looked in the bronze mirror and was very satisfied.
Xiao Huaishan saw him and asked suspiciously: "What is Dr. Shen going to do?"
Shen Yao took it for granted, "Sneak into the family meeting."
Xiao Huaishan was startled and angry: "How to do it? The family meeting is just a den of wolves and tigers. If Dr. Shen goes there, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back alive."
Shen Yao said sadly: "I'm going to poison the meeting and kill Tan Baiqing..."
Before he could finish speaking, a folding fan hit him on the head.
He turned around and saw Wei Lingfeng.
Wei Lingfeng was wearing a scholar's robe, holding a folding fan, and wearing an ordinary-looking person.The leather mask looks like a civil servant of the Imperial Academy.
Shen Yao called him: "Brother."
He said, "It's me."
Shen Yao put his arm around his shoulders: "Seriously, senior brother, don't go out. You haven't recovered yet. At this time, the family meeting of the dead is not courting death?"
Wei Lingfeng said, "I have waited for many years."
"What do you mean?" Shen Yao looked at him with probing eyes, "Are you looking forward to the family meeting?"
Wei Lingfeng pushed open the door and window and looked out the window.With the sun shining on his face, he said, "Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
The family meeting was held in a courtyard of the Chu family.Several long streets nearby were blocked, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach it.The Imperial Forest Army of the capital sent troops to station here early, and the manpower brought by the five great families ensured that this other courtyard was impregnable.
Shen Yao didn't know what method Wei Lingfeng used.In short, Wei Lingfeng mixed into the ranks of court officials.The five great aristocratic families are distributed in various places, so they have sent civil officials of rank seven or above to accompany them.
The team that Wei Lingfeng was in included both capital officials and Shuyang officials.The guards of the Chu family, Jiang family and Zhao family accompanied them to protect, and Shen Yao interspersed among them, and no one paid attention at all.
Shen Yao thought in his heart: The so-called family meeting is nothing more than that.
He passed through the side door of the other courtyard and entered the vast school grounds.
On the school grounds, people from the five great families had already arrived.Shen Yao saw Duan Wuhen from a distance, and really wanted to say hello to him.There is also Chu Kairong, I haven't seen him for several months, Chu Kairong seems to have lost a lot, but he is still in high spirits, talking and laughing happily with the people around him.
Shen Yao turned his head and met Jiang Lianzhou's gaze.He paused in thought, and almost shouted: Lian Zhou.
Jiang Lianzhou's father, Jiang Zhanpeng, is the current martial arts leader.Wearing a black robe, Jiang Zhanpeng walked through the main entrance alone, walking steadily.Jiang Lianzhou followed behind his father with his head bowed. When Shen Yao passed by, Jiang Lianzhou was also slightly taken aback.
Jiang Zhanpeng has gone far.
Recently, the sky has been clear and cloudless, and the school grounds are covered with a layer of blue and white flagstones, which have been wiped clean by the servants.The slate can reflect light, so clear that people can be seen.Jiang Lianzhou came back to his senses, and ran quickly, following his father's footsteps, and his shadow also slipped across the stone slab.
After a while, Tan Baiqing arrived late with the disciples of the Liuguang Sect.Afterwards, the Five Poison Sect, the Jialan Sect, and the Donglan Sect all showed up.Shen Yao was still thinking at this moment: Strange, why didn't the heads of the Five Poison Sect, Jialan Sect, and Donglan Sect come?Today, Emperor Yuan Chun brought the crown prince to the scene. This grand occasion may happen once in ten years.
He was thinking about it when he heard a horn sound.
Shen Yao looked sideways, but a civil servant beside him pushed his shoulder.Then, all the people knelt down on the ground in unison, kowtowed three times, and shouted "Long live" in their mouths, the lingering sound lingered, and the mountains and rivers were shaken.
Shen Yao bowed his head and knelt down, thinking: Do Chu Kairong, Tan Baiqing and Duan Wuhen also kowtow like this?I don't believe they would do such a thing.
There were figures in the front, back, left, and right. Shen Yao moved forward quietly, squinting his eyes into the distance, and saw Chu Kairong, Duan Wuhen and others standing in place, bowing their heads. They seemed to be very respectful, but they didn't kneel.
Shen Yao thought in his heart: Sure enough.
One pair after another of official boots passed Shen Yao's eyes, and Emperor Yuan Chun brought at least forty or fifty people into the arena.The eunuch read the congratulatory speech in the middle of the school grounds before Emperor Yuan Chun asked everyone to stand up.
At this time, the sun was high and it was noon.
Emperor Yuan Chun sat on a bright yellow soft chair.He is over sixty years old, with majestic eyebrows, gray temples, and a slightly tired face.When the crown prince sat on his left, the crown prince was dressed in a yellow robe, and his face was also sickly.With years of practicing physiognomy, Shen Yao concluded that Emperor Yuan Chun suffered from kidney deficiency and liver deficiency, heart palpitations and shortness of breath.
The eunuch supported the royal canopy, which covered the heads of Emperor Yuan Chun and the prince, blocking them from the strong sunlight.Emperor Yuan Chun called the chief eunuch to him and whispered, the chief eunuch conveyed on his behalf: "Patriarch Xuanzheng comes forward."
The head of the Zheng family got up immediately.
The owner of the Zheng family is about fifty years old, and his appearance and figure are still young. It seems that he will always maintain his age of around 30 years old.He passed in front of the masters of the aristocratic families, came to the place ten steps away from Emperor Yuanchun, knelt on his knees, kowtowed and said: "The grass people see the Holy One."
As soon as the six words came out, whispers erupted within the family.
Only then did Shen Yao hear them say: It turns out that a child of an aristocratic family does not need to kneel down when he sees the royal family, unless... he wants to eat the royal food, become an official in the court, and be loyal to the emperor.
It's no wonder that the children of the aristocratic family are very conflicted when they talk about the three words "eat the emperor's food", and they often laugh at Zhao Duwei of the Zhao family.
Patriarch Zheng's kneeling is considered an oath of allegiance.
Shen Yao couldn't help but look at the reactions of the major families.Duan Wuhen didn't change his face, Chu Kairong frowned slightly, the martial arts leader Jiang Zhanpeng couldn't sit still... But Shen Yao didn't see Duan Yongxuan.
strangeness!Duan Yongxuan, that old thief, unexpectedly missed the martial arts family meeting!
Before Patriarch Zheng could speak, Jiang Zhanpeng stood up suddenly and said, "Grassman Jiang Zhanpeng, see Your Majesty and Your Highness the Prince. Today, the five-yearly family meeting will be held. Thanks to all brothers and sisters who came from afar, heroes and righteous men gathered together, and I am even more honored to meet the Majesty and the Prince... "
Before Jiang Zhanpeng finished speaking, the Chief Eunuch interrupted: "Leader Jiang!" His momentum was like thunder.
Jiang Zhanpeng seemed to have expected that he would be interrupted, and answered with a smile: "Please speak, father-in-law."
The chief eunuch saluted Emperor Yuan Chun again, and then walked slowly to a position closer to Patriarch Zheng.
Patriarch Zheng stood up, faced the disciples of the noble family present, and said loudly: "All righteous men, today is called the Family Conference, but it is actually a conference for the imperial court to recruit talents! Martial arts disputes have a long history, and we are involved in it, which can be described as annoying. It's so annoying. The martial arts family had disputes with the Eight Great Sects and the Demon Sect, and the Eight Great Sects killed my family's children..."
Tan Baiqing sat on the seat, did not get up, but answered: "Patriarch Zheng, our Eight Great Sects, have we ever harmed the children of the aristocratic family?"
Patriarch Zheng didn't make a sound.The head of the Zhao family said: "Master Tan, everyone knows about the Qinhuai Tower case. The disciples of the Garan Sect committed crimes in the street and killed many innocent people, but your eight major sects blamed all the crimes on the Demon Sect..."
Jiang Lianzhou agreed with these words.So, Jiang Lianzhou shook his head: "It's true that people from our family are blind."
Tan Baiqing got up and brought up the old story: "That day in Ximang Village, Captain Zhao and I captured Wei Lingfeng alive. Wei Lingfeng is a remnant of the Demon Sect, and everyone can see it. On that day, Wei Lingfeng massacred the whole village..."
"He didn't do anything." Duan Wuhen said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.
Duan Wuhen stood up, passed the chief eunuch, did not look at Patriarch Zheng, and did not even salute the emperor.He only said: "I entered the village with Wei Lingfeng and others, and the elders of the Five Poison Sect also witnessed that day. The villagers in Ximang Village were all bewitched, and the Gu insects broke out, and everyone went crazy. Speaking of which, Tantai back then Che, is also wronged and wronged."
"Nephew Duan Xian," Tan Baiqing twirled a jasper ring on his index finger, "In front of the current Holy Majesty, you can't just talk nonsense. Saying a wrong sentence is the crime of deceiving the emperor."
The crime of deceiving the emperor should be punished by the nine clans.
Shen Yao's heart jumped into his throat, and he was very worried about Duan Wuhen's safety.But Duan Wuhen said: "If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"
In front of so many civil servants, military generals, and members of the royal family, Duan Wuhen didn't let his temper back, Shen Yao really convinced him.Looking at Emperor Yuan Chun again, he really squinted his eyes slightly, and his anger was thin.
Duan Wuhen continued on his own: "There are talisman papers hidden in the cellars of the villagers' homes in Ximang Village..." In the middle of speaking, he looked at the elders of the Five Poison Sect.
The Great Elder of the Five Poisons Sect pondered for a moment, then stood up with a cane: "That's right, as Duan Shaoxia said. When Duan Shaoxia was investigating the case in Ximang Village, the old man was also present."
The Great Elder glanced at Tan Baiqing, and then said: "We found that the talisman papers in Ximang Village are all snow heart paper, which is a special product of Yingtian Mansion. There is only one living person, and those living people all speak official dialect without a local accent... You know, the people of Liangzhou cannot do without a local accent. The closest place to Liangzhou to speak orthodox official dialect is Yingtian Mansion where the head of Tan is located. "
Tan Baiqing clasped his fingers together and formed a fist: "What does the Great Elder mean by this?"
The Great Elder said again: "After the incident in Ximang Village, the whole village was set on fire and burned into a mess. However, Head Tan thinks that doing this will clean it up?"
The Great Elder took out a document from his sleeve.On the official document, the red seal of the local government of Liangzhou is printed.
The chief eunuch came over, and the elder bowed down to the eunuch, and handed the official document to the eunuch.The eunuch presented the official document to Emperor Yuanchun again, and after Emperor Yuanchun read it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The eunuch understood Emperor Yuanchun's mind well, and immediately took the official document and read it out in public.
Everyone was shocked.
It turned out that the villagers in Ximang Village were not burned out, and the four villagers hid in the cellar of the village head's house.When Duan Wuhen entered the village for the second time, he found the cellar. When he opened it, all these people died.But they had paper and pens by their side, so they left a picture and a page.The government has checked that the handwriting on the paper is the same as the handwriting reported by the village head, and it is indeed the village head's own handwriting.
The portrait painted by the village chief was exactly a disciple of the Liuguang Sect.
After listening to this statement, Tan Baiqing said without any fluctuation: "My sage, this is someone's mischief, intending to blame the Liuguang faction. Ximang village is full of Gu insects, and the Liuguang faction does not raise Gu insects..."
"You should ask Yaowanggu about it." Duan Wuhen said suddenly.
The owner of Yaowang Valley stood up, walked up to Emperor Yuanchun, knelt down with a "slap", and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Gu Zhu knelt down so fast that Shen Yao didn't even see what he looked like.
Emperor Yuan Chun waved his hand.
The eunuch said: "Master Tan, today is the day to recruit talents and recruit talents. If you sign the letter, you can be punished lightly and make up for your mistakes."
Tan Baiqing has always been smooth in dealing with things.Shen Yao guessed that Tan Baiqing would be hypocritical, but unexpectedly Tan Baiqing said in a deep voice: "Forgive the grassroots for not being able to admit unreasonable crimes." He slapped the seat, and the armrest of the chair was smashed by him.
Soon, Shen Yao understood.Today, Tan Baiqing brought people from the Eight Great Sects here. If he immediately submitted to the imperial court and acted like a soft bone, he would be ridiculed and ridiculed, and his prestige in the world would be wiped out.
As the head of the Eight Great Sects, Tan Baiqing is the backbone of the famous and decent sects, even if he dies, he must die standing up.
This is the rule of a decent family.It's okay to do bad things, but do it behind closed doors.
But in front of everyone, he must be a strong gentleman.
Shen Yao couldn't help saying with emotion: "Old thief, you also have today."
The head of the Zheng family in the other side said: "There has been a long history of disputes between the Jianghu. Whether it is a decent family or a crooked one, they always act according to their own rules, disregarding the laws of the country and the law. If you say today that I have a grudge against him, then He wants to kill his whole family. Tomorrow he said, this man killed my whole family, and I want the whole village to be extinct. It is the way to the prosperity of the country! This is the principle of the prosperity of the martial arts!"
Patriarch Zheng's internal energy was strong, and Shen Yao's ears were deafened when he finished speaking.
Shen Yao shook his head, and finally figured it out: Now, the Zheng family and the Zhao family are clearly supporting the imperial court.Just look at how the Chu family, Jiang family, Duan family and the eight major factions ended up.
Duan Wuhen remained silent.But behind him, the two Duan elders said: "Patriarch Zheng is right."
Duan Wuhen looked back at the elder, and the elder reminded him: "Young master, your aunt is the wife of the prefect of Liangzhou."
Duan Wuhen said: "So what?"
The elder said loudly: "Young master, your father... also agrees with Patriarch Zheng's words. All sects and sects abuse lynching, and the people don't know martial arts. The disciple violated the law, but the government did not dare to speak out. Young people with good martial arts are not willing to be official servants..."
Duan Wuhen continued: "It's so, why not amend the law? Why not let the officials increase their salaries?"
Emperor Yuan Chun said, "Duan Wuhen."
Duan Wuhen lowered his head slightly to show respect.
Emperor Yuanchun said: "Your father wrote a letter, and the Prime Minister received it. I know the loyalty and courage of your Duan family..." When Emperor Yuanchun spoke, his qi pulse was insufficient, yin was hyperactive and yang was weak. Shen Yao was startled when he heard it. Secretly said: Emperor Yuan Chun's time is numbered.
When Emperor Yuanchun coughed, rows of figures appeared on the beams around the school grounds.Shen Yao looked into the distance, and saw a large group of young soldiers walking steadily towards the school grounds.This group of people are all wearing iron armor and holding heavy swords, and... each of them has extremely superb and profound internal strength, and it will take at least three or forty years of practice to have such an accumulation.
Shen Yao exclaimed: "This is..."
Wei Lingfeng said behind Shen Yao's ear, "Fengshen Eviscerate Cream."
Shen Yao suddenly realized: the owner of Yaowang Valley knelt in front of Emperor Yuan Chun.This shows that Yaowang Valley also submitted to the imperial court.Then, it makes sense that Yaowanggu's secret medicine "Fengshen Eviscerate Ointment" would be used by young soldiers.
Fengshen Eviscerate Cream can greatly increase their skills.However, in two days, these soldiers will all be dead.
Shen Yao muttered to himself: "They are all dying."
Wei Lingfeng said in a low voice: "Those in positions of power don't care about the life and death of civilians."
Shen Yao looked at him: "Really?"
Wei Lingfeng smiled.Since childhood, he was depressed and rarely smiled.Now, he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter."
A piece of Shen Yaoxin's head was dug out.He heard the eunuch say: "If you are willing to serve the court and eliminate the unhealthy winds in the martial arts, please sign the contract and press your fingerprints."
As soon as the words fell, Patriarch Zheng stepped forward first, signed his name, pressed his fingerprints, and stood behind Emperor Yuan Chun.
Next, Patriarch Zhao, the Five Poisons Sect, and the King of Medicine
Before the hour came and the sky was still dark, Shen Yao looked for Tantai Che with a sword on his shoulder.
Tantai stood up with his clothes on.He sat in the yard with a jug of wine in his hand, instructing Shen Yao how to master the strengths of various schools and schools of swordsmanship.He taught Shen Yao for half an hour, and praised for the first time: "You have some martial arts talent."
Shen Yao was very excited.
As the sun rose, Shen Yao finished his sword practice, bid farewell to Tantai Che, and went to Chongming Hall.Wei Lingfeng had already arrived at the main hall of Chongming Hall. The tables and chairs around were overturned, and the ground was covered with debris, all of which were traces of fighting.
"It was such a big mess last night?" Shen Yao stepped over the threshold, "I thought it was just a small fight."
"Junior brother, I'm so busy, why don't you help me?" Qian Xingzhi complained.
Hearing Qian Xingzhi's words, Shen Yao quickly lifted the curtain and walked into the room.He thought that Chongmingtang's losses were heavy, but when he took a closer look, there were only two patients sitting on the chairs, and their injuries didn't look serious.
Shen Yao frowned and said, "Senior Brother Jiu, are you too busy?"
Qian Xingzhi looked out of the window, returning home like an arrow: "Hey, you don't understand, an inch of time is an inch of gold. If you help me, I can go home early. There are several beautiful sisters waiting for me at home. How can you bear to let them stay alone?"
But Shen Yao said: "Senior brother Jiu, when you are treating illnesses, you shouldn't have distracting thoughts."
Qian Xingzhi lowered his head, took a deep breath, and responded with the determination of a strong man: "You are right."
Shen Yao put down the door curtain and walked towards Wei Lingfeng again.
Wei Lingfeng sat on an undamaged chair, and the master of Chongming Hall stood aside.The hall master handed a book to Wei Lingfeng, and said: "Young Master Mingjian, this is the only book left."
Shen Yao leaned over and asked, "What is it?"
Wei Lingfeng said: "Jinse's..." Before he finished speaking, Shen Yao opened the book and just turned to a page, which wrote: Jinse, from Liangzhou, was born in the third year of Yuanchun.
Shen Yao looked at it and exclaimed: "Jinse is from Liangzhou? It's strange, what does she have to do with the Duan family? I thought at the time that she seemed to have been waiting for Duan Wuhen, and I didn't know how Duan Wuhen was doing now. But, with Duan Wuhen's martial arts and net worth, no one in the Jianghu would dare to provoke him."
Wei Lingfeng nodded, and replied, "What you said is very true."
This sentence reminded Shen Yao of last night.Shen Yao's face was reddish, and he said to him from left to right: "When I go to the capital, I will check that old thief Duan Yongxuan."
From this day on, Shen Yao went to Tantai Che to practice martial arts every morning, received Wei Lingfeng's instruction at noon and afternoon, and at night studied martial arts alone, or prepared necessary medicines for going out.About half a month later, he got Yuntang's approval and successfully joined a team going to the capital.
On the day when everyone left, Shen Yao experienced what Qian Xingzhi called "an extremely comfortable carriage".Sitting in the carriage, Shen Yao really wanted to lie down and sleep. He couldn't help but said: "Hey, silk and satin should not be used as carriage cushions. As soon as I sat on it, my bones became limp."
Wei Lingfeng is reading a book.He turned over a page and replied, "You can lie on my lap."
There are not only the two of them in the carriage, but also money.
When Qian Xingzhi heard that Shen Yao and Wei Lingfeng were going to the capital, he wanted them to bring him with him, and he also said that "the three juniors of the Danyi School depend on each other for their lives, and he cannot be left alone in the lair of the Demon Cult".
On the way, Qian Xingzhi was not without emotion: "Haha, I heard that the capital is full of flowers and beautiful people like clouds."
Shen Yao questioned: "Senior Brother Jiu, is that why you insist on going to the capital?"
Qian Xingzhi said honestly, "I want to go to the capital because I don't care about you."
He restrained his smile, and his eyes were clear and cold: "I am nostalgic for the gentle country, addicted to the pile of rouge, and provoke love debts. But I pay more attention to brotherhood. This trip will be bad or bad, I know. If I die outside , you collect the corpse for me, I will die without regrets, and live up to the teachings of my master and ancestors."
Both Wei Lingfeng and Shen Yao were touched by him and looked at him quietly.He suddenly smiled and clapped his hands and said: "Elder brother, younger brother, as the saying goes, life is impermanent, enjoy yourself in time. When our team passes by the brothel, shall we go in and have fun?"
Wei Lingfeng put the booklet in his hand on Qian Xingzhi's forehead: "There will be many dangers along the way, I advise you to be pure-hearted and avoid wishful thinking."
Shen Yao echoed, "The three major killer sects are still chasing and killing the elder brother."
"Pure heart and few desires," Qian Xingzhi sniffled, "It's easy to say, but hard to do. Senior brother, how did you do it? Can you teach me?"
Wei Lingfeng pointed him with a very experienced look: "Every night, meditate to eliminate desires, meditate on your own past..."
Shen Yao said: "I don't believe it."
Qian Xingzhi was a little puzzled: "Little brother, what's wrong with you, don't you think what the senior brother said is very reasonable?"
Shen Yao only said: "My waist is still very sore."
Qian Xingzhi frowned: "Were you tired yesterday?"
"Almost exhausted." Shen Yao leaned his head on the soft pillow.
Qian Xingzhi caught Shen Yao's pulse, and out of the corner of his eye, he didn't notice the change in Wei Lingfeng's expression.Qian Xingzhi checked his pulse and said in a very confused way: "I'm restless and impatient, the water and fire are not good, the yin is often insufficient, and there are too many things...Little brother, although you are in the middle of your life, you are just a doctor. How can you not be restrained?"
Shen Yao grabbed the book in Wei Lingfeng's hand and used it to cover his face.The wheels ran over the stone road, and there was a sudden pause. Shen Yao's head swung and hit Wei Lingfeng's leg.
Wei Lingfeng said to Shen Yao: "From now on, I will pay more attention. I went to the capital this time, and there are many bad luck and bad luck. I didn't want to go with you..."
"To die and die together," Shen Yao replied, "To live and live together."
Wei Lingfeng and his party pretended to be Miaoling's caravan, set off from Miaoling, detoured through several towns, and encountered two groups of bandits on the way.The martial arts of those bandits were far from being comparable to those of Wei Lingfeng and others, and they were killed within a short while.
They set off for half a month and arrived in Tingzhou.
Tingzhou has picturesque scenery and simple folk customs, but Shen Yao does not want to stay for a long time.Because, according to rumors in the world, the hometown of the head of the Liuguang School, Tan Baiqing, is in Tingzhou, and Tan Baiqing is a native of Tingzhou.
"There are seventeen people in our team," Wei Lingfeng said bluntly, "we have to take a break."
Shen Yao sat up straight and said, "I understand. But, brother, you look so conspicuous in the crowd. Xiao Huaishan is too. Everyone in the world has heard the name 'Black-faced judge Xiao Huaishan'. I have traveled far and wide. In the past few months, I have never seen anyone with darker skin than Xiao Huaishan. This time, Xiao Huaishan is also in our team... As soon as he gets out of the carriage, I guarantee that he will be recognized immediately. "
Wei Lingfeng found a roll of blue cloth and wrapped it around Shen Yao's face, only his eyes were exposed.Shen Yao asked again: "Is this the dress of the Donglan school?"
"Yes," Wei Lingfeng said, "When the lower-level disciples of the Donglan Sect go out, they can't show their foreheads and mouths."
"What is a lower-level disciple?" Shen Yao tugged on the blue cloth, "The disciples of the Donglan Sect are divided into three levels?"
Wei Lingfeng nodded.
Shen Yao sneered: "What are you doing? The name 'Junior Disciple' sounds inferior. They have to block their faces when they go out. It's really miserable."
Wei Lingfeng got his head wrapped around himself before getting out of the carriage with Shen Yao one after the other.Qian Xingzhi followed behind them, watching his nose, nose and heart.Everyone in their team lived in an inn run by the teacher.The shopkeeper has seen the token in Wei Lingfeng's hand, and his attitude can be called respectful.
That night, Wei Lingfeng and Shen Yao lived in the same room.
Shen Yao was practicing sword in the house, and Wei Lingfeng was reading under the lamp.Although Wei Lingfeng's eyes were not on Shen Yao, whenever Shen Yao made a mistake, Wei Lingfeng would remind him: "Wrong."
Shen Yao rectified humbly and moved forward with his sword horizontally.
The door was opened suddenly, Qian Xingzhi staggered and rushed in.He said: "Elder brother, younger brother, why do I live alone in a room and you two live together. Don't think I don't know..."
Wei Lingfeng closed the book: "Know what?"
Qian Xingzhi laughed loudly: "Are you two..."
Shen Yao's palm holding the sword was slightly wet with sweat.However, Qian Xingzhi said: "Are you two trying to practice martial arts behind my back? I have been thinking in the room just now, why the two of you are always whispering along the way. I finally figured it out, because the younger brother and Big brother has martial arts now, but I don’t! Hey, I don’t. You two discuss sword skills and take care of my feelings. You don’t want to hurt my heart. So, you always have to whisper and live Let's secretly compete together, right?"
Seeing the sword in Shen Yao's hand, Qian Xingzhi sighed immediately: "It really is so!"
He took a step forward and hugged Shen Yao tightly: "You are really a good brother of Brother Jiu! I didn't know before that you are so cautious, gentle and considerate."
Shen Yao pushed him away, but he couldn't deny it, so he could only say: "Senior Brother Jiu, it's getting late..."
Qian Xingzhi flicked his robe: "Tonight, I will share the same bed with you."
Shen Yao was surprised: "What?"
Qian Xingzhi was moved by the brotherhood he imagined, and he couldn't help saying: "We are three brothers and sisters, and we depend on each other. From now on, I will not be separated from you day and night."
The book in Wei Lingfeng's hand was covered by him on his face.
Qian Xingzhi misunderstood: "Brother, are you overjoyed?"
Wei Lingfeng responded calmly: "Yes."
It was night, and the three brothers and sisters were huddled together on the same bed.Shen Yao was in the middle, Wei Lingfeng was on his left, and Qian Xingzhi was lying on his right.
The bed curtains were down, and the bed was peaceful and peaceful.
Qian Xingzhi quickly fell asleep and snored slightly.But he slept in an indecent position, stretched out his long legs, and put them on Shen Yao's body.
Shen Yao woke up from the dream. In the chaos, he saw green smoke and a slender sword standing outside the tent.
The poisoned, blackened sword pierced through the gauze curtain, pulled out a sword flower as the smoke rose, and stabbed straight at Shen Yao's chest.
Shen Yao didn't have time to dodge, and he was even more afraid that after he dodged, the poisonous sword would hurt the two senior brothers.
Before he could yell out, another long sword lay across in front of him, blocking the stabbing poisonous sword.
Shen Yao looked sideways, only to realize that Wei Lingfeng had woken up.
Wei Lingfeng turned over and got out of bed.Shen Yao kicked Qian Xingzhi to wake him up, and shouted: "There is a killer! There is a killer!" Then he also drew his sword out of its sheath, and fought with a masked man in black inside the house.
The man in black has high internal strength, but Shen Yao's movements are treacherous.Relying on the "Frost and Cold Sword" technique taught by Tan Taiche, Shen Yao cut off two fingers of a man in black. The man in black loosened his wrist, and Shen Yao kicked up the wall again. There is a move called "Tianxiao King Kong Jue".
Although Shen Yao has just started practicing the "Tianxiao King Kong Jue", he is superior in his understanding, quick moves, and a peerless sword.The man in black had half of his head cut off by Shen Yao on the spot, and his brains splashed all over the floor.
Not far away, Wei Lingfeng pierced the chest of another man in black.Shen Yao recognized that the sword in Wei Lingfeng's hand was the "Guangbing Sword" he picked up in Anjiang City.
The Guangbing Sword is indeed the Excalibur of the world.The light of the sword flowed, cutting the iron like mud, and cut a flat wound on the man in black's ribs, as if measuring with a ruler first, and then sawing the man's chest with a saw.
Compared with the Guangbing Sword, the sword in Shen Yao's hand can only be regarded as scrap metal.
Both black-clothed killers were dead, the ground was covered with blood, and the smell was pungent.
Shen Yao shouted: "Elder brother."
Wei Lingfeng put Guangbingjian away: "Are you okay?"
Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm fine, how about you, brother?"
Wei Lingfeng opened the door: "I'm fine, go see other people."
Qian Xingzhi hadn't come back to his soul yet, he murmured blankly: "What the hell is wrong with the world." Shen Yao turned around and waved to him: "Senior Brother Ninth, follow us closely."
Qian Xingzhi rushed over like a wild horse, even following Shen Yao's footsteps.
Wei Lingfeng summoned everyone in the team.Tonight, a group of killers raided and used the best ecstasy incense. Even though there were so many experts in the team, one swordsman was still injured.This swordsman is Xiao Huaishan's friend.
Xiao Huaishan worried: "Is the injury serious?"
"It's all right," Shen Yao took out a bottle of golden sore medicine, "Fortunately, he didn't touch the poisonous sword, he just hit the wall and sprained his muscles and bones. I'll apply the medicine on him for two days, and he should be fine."
Xiao Huaishan clasped his fists and said: "Doctor Shen is really a genius doctor." Then he said with emotion: "Doctor Shen's martial arts has improved rapidly, he is capable of writing and martial arts, he is really a genius."
Shen Yao said with a smile: "What kind of genius am I..."
Qian Xingzhi couldn't help recalling: "Hey, little brother, do you know? When I set up a stall in Yingtian Mansion, someone gave me a pair of couplets. The first couplet is about helping flowers and willows to show your skill. The second couplet is about saving lives and healing wounds. .”
"Senior Brother Ninth is amazing," Shen Yao praised, "Senior Brother Ninth, let's go for an autopsy now."
Qian Xingzhi's breath was stagnant, but he still agreed.A total of 24 killers came tonight, all of which were solved by them.They lived on the highest floor of the inn. On this floor, all the people living in the Demon Cult lived.
Wei Lingfeng lifted the veil from the corpse, and inspected the calluses they cultivated from years of martial arts practice, and concluded: "It is indeed a member of the Killer Sect."
Shen Yao picked up a residual incense stick on the ground.He picked up the incense head, smelled the scent of the spice, and felt it was very familiar. After thinking about it again, his heart was sour and his whole body felt cold.
Wei Lingfeng asked him, "What did you see?"
"This kind of ecstasy incense," Shen Yao said frankly, "is like Brother Xu's handwriting."
"Xu Xingxiu?" Qian Xingzhi continued.
Shen Yao said: "Xu Xingxiu, Brother Xu."
Qian Xingzhi squatted beside Shen Yao, feeling melancholy: "Damn it, does Xu Xingxiu want to kill the three of us? He and I are friends who have urinated together."
Shen Yao wrapped the spices with a handkerchief, and teased, "Nowadays, even if you slept with him, it won't work."
"Huh?" Qian Xingzhi asked back, "How do two men go to bed?"
Shen Yao hesitated to speak.
Qian Xingzhi realized it by himself, and repeatedly praised: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful."
Because his whereabouts were revealed, Wei Lingfeng took the team to another route, and arranged four people to be on duty every night.His decision was very correct. In the following trip, they never met anyone from the Killer Sect again.
Near the end of the month, Wei Lingfeng and his party arrived in the capital.
The guards in the capital are very strict.Those who enter the city, if they are martial arts practitioners, must report to the school and are not allowed to carry weapons.
The soldiers guarding the city searched everyone, carefully scrutinized their faces, and made sure that no one was disguised.Every morning and evening, there are martial arts masters sitting at the gate of the city, waiting to see if the people entering the city have internal strength. There are many barriers and obstacles, making the word "entering the city" extremely difficult.
Martial arts people, ordinary people, literati and merchants can only go through the west gate and north gate when they enter the city.
When princes and nobles enter the city, they usually go through the east gate.
When the carriage circled into the east gate, Shen Yao lowered his voice and said, "Brother, how can we go through the east gate?"
Qian Xingzhi echoed, "A group of common people deserve to go through the East Gate?"
While talking, the carriage stopped, and the officer raised the curtain and said hello, "Masters, do you want to enter the city?"
Wei Lingfeng handed the officer a letter and a golden token.The official took over and stood outside the carriage for a long time.
At this time, it was Yin time in the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the morning sun was hazy.Several officers and soldiers at the city gate lowered their voices, and said to Wei Lingfeng in the carriage: "My lord, you have to go into the city to talk about it, but you still can't carry weapons, and let the younger ones take inventory."
Wei Lingfeng said hello.
Everyone's weapons were hidden in the interlayer baffle of the carriage.Wei Lingfeng had once filled the interlayer with lead, so when the officials hit the carriage with a hammer, they could only hear a solid sound.There were only soft pillows on the carriage, and Wei Lingfeng and others used the Lingnan secret method to hide their internal strength, and their breathing was no different from that of ordinary people.The officials who guarded the city waited and watched for a while, relieved, and allowed Wei Lingfeng and others to enter the city.
The carriage is drifting away.
Shen Yao questioned: "These officials neither searched me nor looked at my face. Brother, who wrote the letter you gave them?"
Wei Lingfeng said frankly, "Chu Kairong."
Shen Yao asked again: "Has Chu Kairong returned to the capital?"
Wei Lingfeng told the truth: "Chu Kairong, Duan Wuhen, Tan Baiqing, as well as the leader of the martial arts alliance, the owner of the Yaowang Valley, and the owner of the No. [-] village in the world, these people are all gathered in the capital now."
Shen Yao pondered: "The five great families are having a meeting, why would Tan Baiqing join in the fun? As the head of the Liuguang faction, Tan Baiqing, does he have a personal relationship with the martial arts family?"
"Duan Wuhen just came back from Ximang Village," Wei Lingfeng explained patiently, "Tan Baiqing is a witness to the incident in Ximang Village."
On the night when he escaped from Yingtian Mansion, Shen Yao remembered that Duan Wuhen went straight to Ximang Village.From this, Shen Yao guessed: "Could it be that Duan Wuhen wants to disclose the case of Ximang Village at the family meeting? If so, Duan Wuhen is too courageous. He is not afraid that his father will break his leg ?”
Qian Xingzhi showed a sad face: "His father will stab us to death first. Now, we are all real members of the Demon Cult. Hey, how did I get to this point?"
Shen Yao said: "Ninth Senior Brother, when you played with young girls in the Devil's Cult, you looked very happy and satisfied."
Qian Xingzhi raised his sleeves to cover his face.
Three days later, the family meeting was held as scheduled.
Shen Yao put on a new disguise and even put on a man.Leather.Tool.This kind of thing is made from the skin of a dead person, and a piece of skin can only be worn for one day.Along the way, Shen Yao was not willing to use it.It wasn't until the family meeting was held that he turned the mask out.
The five great families are divided into Zhao, Jiang, Duan, Zheng, and Chu.Among them, the Zhao family has the most warriors, the most widely distributed, and the most chaotic family rules.Shen Yao dressed like a Zhao family swordsman.He looked in the bronze mirror and was very satisfied.
Xiao Huaishan saw him and asked suspiciously: "What is Dr. Shen going to do?"
Shen Yao took it for granted, "Sneak into the family meeting."
Xiao Huaishan was startled and angry: "How to do it? The family meeting is just a den of wolves and tigers. If Dr. Shen goes there, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back alive."
Shen Yao said sadly: "I'm going to poison the meeting and kill Tan Baiqing..."
Before he could finish speaking, a folding fan hit him on the head.
He turned around and saw Wei Lingfeng.
Wei Lingfeng was wearing a scholar's robe, holding a folding fan, and wearing an ordinary-looking person.The leather mask looks like a civil servant of the Imperial Academy.
Shen Yao called him: "Brother."
He said, "It's me."
Shen Yao put his arm around his shoulders: "Seriously, senior brother, don't go out. You haven't recovered yet. At this time, the family meeting of the dead is not courting death?"
Wei Lingfeng said, "I have waited for many years."
"What do you mean?" Shen Yao looked at him with probing eyes, "Are you looking forward to the family meeting?"
Wei Lingfeng pushed open the door and window and looked out the window.With the sun shining on his face, he said, "Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
The family meeting was held in a courtyard of the Chu family.Several long streets nearby were blocked, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach it.The Imperial Forest Army of the capital sent troops to station here early, and the manpower brought by the five great families ensured that this other courtyard was impregnable.
Shen Yao didn't know what method Wei Lingfeng used.In short, Wei Lingfeng mixed into the ranks of court officials.The five great aristocratic families are distributed in various places, so they have sent civil officials of rank seven or above to accompany them.
The team that Wei Lingfeng was in included both capital officials and Shuyang officials.The guards of the Chu family, Jiang family and Zhao family accompanied them to protect, and Shen Yao interspersed among them, and no one paid attention at all.
Shen Yao thought in his heart: The so-called family meeting is nothing more than that.
He passed through the side door of the other courtyard and entered the vast school grounds.
On the school grounds, people from the five great families had already arrived.Shen Yao saw Duan Wuhen from a distance, and really wanted to say hello to him.There is also Chu Kairong, I haven't seen him for several months, Chu Kairong seems to have lost a lot, but he is still in high spirits, talking and laughing happily with the people around him.
Shen Yao turned his head and met Jiang Lianzhou's gaze.He paused in thought, and almost shouted: Lian Zhou.
Jiang Lianzhou's father, Jiang Zhanpeng, is the current martial arts leader.Wearing a black robe, Jiang Zhanpeng walked through the main entrance alone, walking steadily.Jiang Lianzhou followed behind his father with his head bowed. When Shen Yao passed by, Jiang Lianzhou was also slightly taken aback.
Jiang Zhanpeng has gone far.
Recently, the sky has been clear and cloudless, and the school grounds are covered with a layer of blue and white flagstones, which have been wiped clean by the servants.The slate can reflect light, so clear that people can be seen.Jiang Lianzhou came back to his senses, and ran quickly, following his father's footsteps, and his shadow also slipped across the stone slab.
After a while, Tan Baiqing arrived late with the disciples of the Liuguang Sect.Afterwards, the Five Poison Sect, the Jialan Sect, and the Donglan Sect all showed up.Shen Yao was still thinking at this moment: Strange, why didn't the heads of the Five Poison Sect, Jialan Sect, and Donglan Sect come?Today, Emperor Yuan Chun brought the crown prince to the scene. This grand occasion may happen once in ten years.
He was thinking about it when he heard a horn sound.
Shen Yao looked sideways, but a civil servant beside him pushed his shoulder.Then, all the people knelt down on the ground in unison, kowtowed three times, and shouted "Long live" in their mouths, the lingering sound lingered, and the mountains and rivers were shaken.
Shen Yao bowed his head and knelt down, thinking: Do Chu Kairong, Tan Baiqing and Duan Wuhen also kowtow like this?I don't believe they would do such a thing.
There were figures in the front, back, left, and right. Shen Yao moved forward quietly, squinting his eyes into the distance, and saw Chu Kairong, Duan Wuhen and others standing in place, bowing their heads. They seemed to be very respectful, but they didn't kneel.
Shen Yao thought in his heart: Sure enough.
One pair after another of official boots passed Shen Yao's eyes, and Emperor Yuan Chun brought at least forty or fifty people into the arena.The eunuch read the congratulatory speech in the middle of the school grounds before Emperor Yuan Chun asked everyone to stand up.
At this time, the sun was high and it was noon.
Emperor Yuan Chun sat on a bright yellow soft chair.He is over sixty years old, with majestic eyebrows, gray temples, and a slightly tired face.When the crown prince sat on his left, the crown prince was dressed in a yellow robe, and his face was also sickly.With years of practicing physiognomy, Shen Yao concluded that Emperor Yuan Chun suffered from kidney deficiency and liver deficiency, heart palpitations and shortness of breath.
The eunuch supported the royal canopy, which covered the heads of Emperor Yuan Chun and the prince, blocking them from the strong sunlight.Emperor Yuan Chun called the chief eunuch to him and whispered, the chief eunuch conveyed on his behalf: "Patriarch Xuanzheng comes forward."
The head of the Zheng family got up immediately.
The owner of the Zheng family is about fifty years old, and his appearance and figure are still young. It seems that he will always maintain his age of around 30 years old.He passed in front of the masters of the aristocratic families, came to the place ten steps away from Emperor Yuanchun, knelt on his knees, kowtowed and said: "The grass people see the Holy One."
As soon as the six words came out, whispers erupted within the family.
Only then did Shen Yao hear them say: It turns out that a child of an aristocratic family does not need to kneel down when he sees the royal family, unless... he wants to eat the royal food, become an official in the court, and be loyal to the emperor.
It's no wonder that the children of the aristocratic family are very conflicted when they talk about the three words "eat the emperor's food", and they often laugh at Zhao Duwei of the Zhao family.
Patriarch Zheng's kneeling is considered an oath of allegiance.
Shen Yao couldn't help but look at the reactions of the major families.Duan Wuhen didn't change his face, Chu Kairong frowned slightly, the martial arts leader Jiang Zhanpeng couldn't sit still... But Shen Yao didn't see Duan Yongxuan.
strangeness!Duan Yongxuan, that old thief, unexpectedly missed the martial arts family meeting!
Before Patriarch Zheng could speak, Jiang Zhanpeng stood up suddenly and said, "Grassman Jiang Zhanpeng, see Your Majesty and Your Highness the Prince. Today, the five-yearly family meeting will be held. Thanks to all brothers and sisters who came from afar, heroes and righteous men gathered together, and I am even more honored to meet the Majesty and the Prince... "
Before Jiang Zhanpeng finished speaking, the Chief Eunuch interrupted: "Leader Jiang!" His momentum was like thunder.
Jiang Zhanpeng seemed to have expected that he would be interrupted, and answered with a smile: "Please speak, father-in-law."
The chief eunuch saluted Emperor Yuan Chun again, and then walked slowly to a position closer to Patriarch Zheng.
Patriarch Zheng stood up, faced the disciples of the noble family present, and said loudly: "All righteous men, today is called the Family Conference, but it is actually a conference for the imperial court to recruit talents! Martial arts disputes have a long history, and we are involved in it, which can be described as annoying. It's so annoying. The martial arts family had disputes with the Eight Great Sects and the Demon Sect, and the Eight Great Sects killed my family's children..."
Tan Baiqing sat on the seat, did not get up, but answered: "Patriarch Zheng, our Eight Great Sects, have we ever harmed the children of the aristocratic family?"
Patriarch Zheng didn't make a sound.The head of the Zhao family said: "Master Tan, everyone knows about the Qinhuai Tower case. The disciples of the Garan Sect committed crimes in the street and killed many innocent people, but your eight major sects blamed all the crimes on the Demon Sect..."
Jiang Lianzhou agreed with these words.So, Jiang Lianzhou shook his head: "It's true that people from our family are blind."
Tan Baiqing got up and brought up the old story: "That day in Ximang Village, Captain Zhao and I captured Wei Lingfeng alive. Wei Lingfeng is a remnant of the Demon Sect, and everyone can see it. On that day, Wei Lingfeng massacred the whole village..."
"He didn't do anything." Duan Wuhen said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.
Duan Wuhen stood up, passed the chief eunuch, did not look at Patriarch Zheng, and did not even salute the emperor.He only said: "I entered the village with Wei Lingfeng and others, and the elders of the Five Poison Sect also witnessed that day. The villagers in Ximang Village were all bewitched, and the Gu insects broke out, and everyone went crazy. Speaking of which, Tantai back then Che, is also wronged and wronged."
"Nephew Duan Xian," Tan Baiqing twirled a jasper ring on his index finger, "In front of the current Holy Majesty, you can't just talk nonsense. Saying a wrong sentence is the crime of deceiving the emperor."
The crime of deceiving the emperor should be punished by the nine clans.
Shen Yao's heart jumped into his throat, and he was very worried about Duan Wuhen's safety.But Duan Wuhen said: "If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"
In front of so many civil servants, military generals, and members of the royal family, Duan Wuhen didn't let his temper back, Shen Yao really convinced him.Looking at Emperor Yuan Chun again, he really squinted his eyes slightly, and his anger was thin.
Duan Wuhen continued on his own: "There are talisman papers hidden in the cellars of the villagers' homes in Ximang Village..." In the middle of speaking, he looked at the elders of the Five Poison Sect.
The Great Elder of the Five Poisons Sect pondered for a moment, then stood up with a cane: "That's right, as Duan Shaoxia said. When Duan Shaoxia was investigating the case in Ximang Village, the old man was also present."
The Great Elder glanced at Tan Baiqing, and then said: "We found that the talisman papers in Ximang Village are all snow heart paper, which is a special product of Yingtian Mansion. There is only one living person, and those living people all speak official dialect without a local accent... You know, the people of Liangzhou cannot do without a local accent. The closest place to Liangzhou to speak orthodox official dialect is Yingtian Mansion where the head of Tan is located. "
Tan Baiqing clasped his fingers together and formed a fist: "What does the Great Elder mean by this?"
The Great Elder said again: "After the incident in Ximang Village, the whole village was set on fire and burned into a mess. However, Head Tan thinks that doing this will clean it up?"
The Great Elder took out a document from his sleeve.On the official document, the red seal of the local government of Liangzhou is printed.
The chief eunuch came over, and the elder bowed down to the eunuch, and handed the official document to the eunuch.The eunuch presented the official document to Emperor Yuanchun again, and after Emperor Yuanchun read it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The eunuch understood Emperor Yuanchun's mind well, and immediately took the official document and read it out in public.
Everyone was shocked.
It turned out that the villagers in Ximang Village were not burned out, and the four villagers hid in the cellar of the village head's house.When Duan Wuhen entered the village for the second time, he found the cellar. When he opened it, all these people died.But they had paper and pens by their side, so they left a picture and a page.The government has checked that the handwriting on the paper is the same as the handwriting reported by the village head, and it is indeed the village head's own handwriting.
The portrait painted by the village chief was exactly a disciple of the Liuguang Sect.
After listening to this statement, Tan Baiqing said without any fluctuation: "My sage, this is someone's mischief, intending to blame the Liuguang faction. Ximang village is full of Gu insects, and the Liuguang faction does not raise Gu insects..."
"You should ask Yaowanggu about it." Duan Wuhen said suddenly.
The owner of Yaowang Valley stood up, walked up to Emperor Yuanchun, knelt down with a "slap", and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Gu Zhu knelt down so fast that Shen Yao didn't even see what he looked like.
Emperor Yuan Chun waved his hand.
The eunuch said: "Master Tan, today is the day to recruit talents and recruit talents. If you sign the letter, you can be punished lightly and make up for your mistakes."
Tan Baiqing has always been smooth in dealing with things.Shen Yao guessed that Tan Baiqing would be hypocritical, but unexpectedly Tan Baiqing said in a deep voice: "Forgive the grassroots for not being able to admit unreasonable crimes." He slapped the seat, and the armrest of the chair was smashed by him.
Soon, Shen Yao understood.Today, Tan Baiqing brought people from the Eight Great Sects here. If he immediately submitted to the imperial court and acted like a soft bone, he would be ridiculed and ridiculed, and his prestige in the world would be wiped out.
As the head of the Eight Great Sects, Tan Baiqing is the backbone of the famous and decent sects, even if he dies, he must die standing up.
This is the rule of a decent family.It's okay to do bad things, but do it behind closed doors.
But in front of everyone, he must be a strong gentleman.
Shen Yao couldn't help saying with emotion: "Old thief, you also have today."
The head of the Zheng family in the other side said: "There has been a long history of disputes between the Jianghu. Whether it is a decent family or a crooked one, they always act according to their own rules, disregarding the laws of the country and the law. If you say today that I have a grudge against him, then He wants to kill his whole family. Tomorrow he said, this man killed my whole family, and I want the whole village to be extinct. It is the way to the prosperity of the country! This is the principle of the prosperity of the martial arts!"
Patriarch Zheng's internal energy was strong, and Shen Yao's ears were deafened when he finished speaking.
Shen Yao shook his head, and finally figured it out: Now, the Zheng family and the Zhao family are clearly supporting the imperial court.Just look at how the Chu family, Jiang family, Duan family and the eight major factions ended up.
Duan Wuhen remained silent.But behind him, the two Duan elders said: "Patriarch Zheng is right."
Duan Wuhen looked back at the elder, and the elder reminded him: "Young master, your aunt is the wife of the prefect of Liangzhou."
Duan Wuhen said: "So what?"
The elder said loudly: "Young master, your father... also agrees with Patriarch Zheng's words. All sects and sects abuse lynching, and the people don't know martial arts. The disciple violated the law, but the government did not dare to speak out. Young people with good martial arts are not willing to be official servants..."
Duan Wuhen continued: "It's so, why not amend the law? Why not let the officials increase their salaries?"
Emperor Yuan Chun said, "Duan Wuhen."
Duan Wuhen lowered his head slightly to show respect.
Emperor Yuanchun said: "Your father wrote a letter, and the Prime Minister received it. I know the loyalty and courage of your Duan family..." When Emperor Yuanchun spoke, his qi pulse was insufficient, yin was hyperactive and yang was weak. Shen Yao was startled when he heard it. Secretly said: Emperor Yuan Chun's time is numbered.
When Emperor Yuanchun coughed, rows of figures appeared on the beams around the school grounds.Shen Yao looked into the distance, and saw a large group of young soldiers walking steadily towards the school grounds.This group of people are all wearing iron armor and holding heavy swords, and... each of them has extremely superb and profound internal strength, and it will take at least three or forty years of practice to have such an accumulation.
Shen Yao exclaimed: "This is..."
Wei Lingfeng said behind Shen Yao's ear, "Fengshen Eviscerate Cream."
Shen Yao suddenly realized: the owner of Yaowang Valley knelt in front of Emperor Yuan Chun.This shows that Yaowang Valley also submitted to the imperial court.Then, it makes sense that Yaowanggu's secret medicine "Fengshen Eviscerate Ointment" would be used by young soldiers.
Fengshen Eviscerate Cream can greatly increase their skills.However, in two days, these soldiers will all be dead.
Shen Yao muttered to himself: "They are all dying."
Wei Lingfeng said in a low voice: "Those in positions of power don't care about the life and death of civilians."
Shen Yao looked at him: "Really?"
Wei Lingfeng smiled.Since childhood, he was depressed and rarely smiled.Now, he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter."
A piece of Shen Yaoxin's head was dug out.He heard the eunuch say: "If you are willing to serve the court and eliminate the unhealthy winds in the martial arts, please sign the contract and press your fingerprints."
As soon as the words fell, Patriarch Zheng stepped forward first, signed his name, pressed his fingerprints, and stood behind Emperor Yuan Chun.
Next, Patriarch Zhao, the Five Poisons Sect, and the King of Medicine
