Chapter 41 Wisdom
At three o'clock in the ugly hour, the night is the deepest, and the cold dew has first gathered and formed, condensing on the branches and leaves.When everything was quiet, everything was supposed to be at rest, but a series of unhurried footsteps suddenly sounded from the main bedroom of Dali Palace.
Duan Hongxing, who was resting on the dragon bed, sighed, turned over and sat up.The visitor had already expected it in the middle of the night, but he just raised his eyes, and the astonishment still flew across his face, but it was fleeting, and then he took the white figure standing upright in the center of the palace into his eyes.
"It seems that I am getting old. I thought Mr. Buju would be the one to meet tonight, but the one who didn't want to come was the Chinchilla."
Bai Yutang visited according to the etiquette, and after he finished, he said: "Sir, I also wanted to come to meet the king in person, but unfortunately I don't have the skills to spare, so I have to let Xiao Ke pay the visit on my behalf."
Duan Hongxing's eyes suddenly wandered away. "Has Mr. Buju left the palace to find an apprentice?"
The corner of Bai Yutang's eyes twitched, "By the way, I'm also looking for the crown prince for the lord."
The light seemed to burst out from his eyes, the faint helplessness suddenly turned cold, Duan Hongxing said firmly: "My son is dead, please don't mention it again."
Couldn't help but roll his eyes to the sky, Bai Yutang muttered, "I've seen all kinds of ridiculous things in this world, but I've never seen Lao Tzu who cursed his son to death."
The sound was a little bit loud, but in such a quiet night, it was unavoidable to be heard by sharp ears.Duan Hongxing lowered his face and said: "If you want to say something, you can say it bluntly. But if the old matter is brought up again, please leave quickly, and don't disturb my dream."
"In the afternoon, Caomin knew that the ruler insisted on not believing what the Chai family did, so he wouldn't waste his time talking about being boring. It's okay, let's put aside the trivial matters and let's not mention them for now." Chicly dressed In the robe, he actually picked up a sandalwood chair in the dormitory, flipped it over and sat down.Seeing the Lord of Dali frowned and squinted at his self-talking behavior, with displeasure on his face, Bai Yutang couldn't help but tilt his head and smile. "Cao Min is injured, since the lord of the country left me here to recuperate in the Dali Palace, he will not be stingy at this time, right?"
Duan Hongxing said coldly: "Generous or stingy, I'm not here. Young Xia Bai, you can do whatever you want!"
Bai Yutang secretly smiled in his heart, thinking that the Dali Duan family's martial arts practice for generations is really different, and they all have a bit of quack air.But it's so good, there's no need to flick your tongue for chewing on those meaningless honorifics.Bai Yutang's expression turned serious, and he went straight to the point and said, "Since the lord knows that someone will visit tonight, he should also know what I want to ask, right?"
"The tiger talisman is just like what you have seen with your own eyes."
"The lord really wants to make a big move against me, Da Song?"
"Since Emperor Song was able to exterminate my only heir, wouldn't it be wrong for me to repay the debt with blood?"
"It's a mistake." Bai Yutang thought about it and shook his head. "No, rather than saying it's wrong, it's better to say it doesn't look like what the lord did."
Duan Hongxing laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Bai Yutang, if these words came from Mr. Buju, I would take them as human words, but it's really funny to say them from the mouth of a brat like you."
Bai Yutang was not angry at all, instead he said with a sneer, "Since I came here tonight on behalf of Mr. Nangong, most of what I said and did came from Mr.'s instruction. Dali was changed 13 years ago, and the grassroots really knew very little about it. However, Mr. Nangong asked before leaving, the grassroots dare not neglect, they have already heard a little about the relationship between the ruler and the gentleman, as for the ruler's consistent attitude in governing the country and dealing with the world, it will inevitably leak into his ears. Now that the ruler is acting extreme, it is a big deal It’s against common sense, and it’s really hard to think about.”
Duan Hongxing said: "Master Bai has probably forgotten. Although I am a king, I am also a father."
"That's why the grass-roots people think too much. The grass-roots people are not roundworms in the belly of the king. If you don't think about it thoroughly, you don't know whether the king or the father is the most important thing in the heart of the king."
As if he had heard enough of Bai Yutang's disrespect, Duan Hongxing suddenly stood up, tearing the calm on his face.He walked down the bed steps with a cold expression on his face. "Bai Yutang, I don't have time to play tricks with you. The move to attack the Song Dynasty is imperative. You can steal the tiger talisman for a while, but you can't steal my holy life for a lifetime. If you are sensible, hand over the tiger talisman and use this fake to deceive me. , what is it?” He took out an object from his bosom and threw it casually.
Bai Yutang caught it and saw that it was the Tiger Talisman that Nangong Wei had thrown on the court hall.Glancing at Duan Hongxing, and then looking at the things in his hands, Bai Yutang suddenly fell silent as if he was thinking about something, and then smiled again after a while. "Guo Ke really likes to joke, since he has a sacred destiny, why should he care whether this tiger charm, which is already like a waste, is true or not?"
"How can my token of Dali dispatching troops fall into the hands of foreigners."
"So, Caomin really don't know. Since the tiger talisman was exchanged by Mr. Nangong, it is really in his hands. Mr. has gone out of the palace now. If the king wants to recover Wanbi, he has to wait patiently."
Duan Hongxing said unhappily: "Since that's the case, there's no need to talk about it anymore." He flicked his sleeves violently, called "see off", and drove Bai Yutang out of the bedroom.In the middle of the night, Bai Yutang shrugged his nose, but he didn't lose his temper in the slightest, instead he leisurely wandered back to his residence humming a little song.
As soon as Pu entered the door, he was grabbed by the humble Taoist. "How are things going?"
Bai Yutang made a silent gesture, then tilted his head towards Liu Ruhui.Ruhui nodded comprehendingly, and immediately went out of the house, then turned back after a while, and whispered: "Fifth Master, don't worry, the snake array has been set up."
Bai Yutang still didn't dare to be careless, he took out the tiger talisman and asked his teacher after looking around the room to confirm that he was safe, "Well, master, do you know what Mr. Buju's intention is?"
The humble Taoist took it and said puzzledly, "I don't understand what you mean, my teacher."
"The lord of Dali states that this tiger talisman is a fake."
"Impossible." The Taoist Qianhe said decisively: "It was the poor Taoist who went to intercept the tiger talisman personally. This thing has always been in my hands. Old Nangong asked the poor Taoist to ask for it when he was driving. Unless he is already familiar with it. In the shape of a tiger talisman, prepare a fake one, otherwise this tiger talisman was fake from the beginning."
What the modest Taoist said caused Bai Yutang to take another long exam.The theory of fake things is not advisable.The tiger talisman had to be passed to the border generals through the hands of others, and just entered the palace, and he could indeed feel a few auras lurking in the dark. His intelligence and strategy are very likely to guard against this kind of fraud, and it seems that the Dali ruler is quite cautious in his actions, so it is likely that he will not pay attention to the prince's safety and his own plight due to a fluke.But if it is said that Nangong Wei prepared a fake tiger talisman early on, it would be another unthinkable, and it is not Chai Wenyi who has long been scheming to get involved in Dali.Furthermore, before his departure, Master Mao'er had ordered him to use words to provoke the Dali ruler deliberately. He thought it was a way to secretly communicate with the song and get some useful information, but his attitude was tough and he had no chance to take advantage In addition to going around and tangling on the fake tiger talisman...
tiger? !
Bai Yutang's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but go around and sit down at the back, repeatedly picking up the tiger talisman in his hand.The humble Taoist saw that Bai Yutang's hand gestures were completely hidden tricks he had learned secretly, and he immediately understood it. He folded his chest comfortably and wanted to see his apprentice's ability. Impatiently, he snatched the tiger amulet and said angrily: "Stinky boy, I thought you were some kind of amazing genius, stealing a teacher is also a half-baked trick, shame on you. Get out of the way!"
Bai Yutang curled his lips and gave up his seat reluctantly. "Fifth Master, I am not a god, so I just climbed to the roof and took a look. What kind of unique skills can I steal? The skill of my hands is no better than the dead mechanism set up in the woods. If you have nothing to do, you can figure it out if you take it apart. See through."
The humble Taoist raised his brows upside down: "You have the face to say it! I set up guards against thieves for the teacher, but none of the outside thieves were guarded, and you, the inside thief, completely destroyed it."
"Master, that's what you said." Bai Yutang laughed softly to flatter him, but actually walked over quietly, not to mention the bright tricks of sneaking around.
"Hey! Roll as far as you can for the poor Taoist." He pushed his elbow away, covered his sight with half of his body, and the modest Taoist ignored Bai Yutang's humming words like "stingy" from his nostrils, and said directly : "If you don't save a hand, I don't know what to do in the future to punish you, a bastard who is running around!"
"Rare——." Bai Yutang rolled his eyes skyward, sneered and dragged his voice for a long time, and sat aside sullenly.
An expert is worthy of an expert, and the trick was solved in a blink of an eye.When the modest Taoist took out a piece of silk as thin as a cicada's wing from the tiger talisman, Bai Yutang smiled and his heart was filled with enthusiasm: He is indeed his master of Bai Yutang, the sword is not old.
It turned out that this humble Taoist was a well-known master of hidden weapons in the world before he entered Taoism, and his common name was Zhou Dingtian.He is extremely intelligent, but also extremely conceited. He is obsessed with the art of hidden weapon mechanisms. He has designed all kinds of exquisite mechanism hidden weapons, which are still widely circulated in the world.He believed that with this skill he would be able to stand alone in the world, so he neglected martial arts.Fighting against him often suffers from all kinds of hidden weapons that he can't finish and can't figure out, which is simply impossible to guard against.
But in the world, there is just one person who guards against it, and uses a pair of famous hands to take over all the murderous intentions from all directions, which makes Zhou Dingtian's conceit suddenly become useless.No need to ask, this person is naturally Zhan Zhao's mentor Nan Gongwei, and only Mr. Buju's hand can receive Zhou Dingtian's full strength in the world.
Yu Zhou Dingtian was lucky for the only defeat. He suddenly realized that he had deviated from the "Wu" way, and had to become a monk and worship under the Taoist master.The reason why I took the name "Modest" is to remind myself to restrain my natural pride and conceit at all times.As for abandoning the strengths of hidden weapons and focusing on the weaknesses of swordsmanship afterwards, it was completely suffocating. In order to compete with Nangong Wei again, Mr. I don't know when to get up and live. "Hands".Of course, this is foreign language. (Zero: I would like to explain here, saying that Daoist Qianhe deviated from martial arts in the past, not because he used hidden weapons or deviated, but that he put his mind on thinking about the style and style of hidden weapons and other things, but not because he was throwing hidden weapons in martial arts. This is what I think is the deviation. For example, a real master can defeat a person with a magic weapon with a dead branch, which is the reason.)
"I didn't expect there to be such a mystery in this tiger talisman." Liu Ruhui sighed, pulling out a white handkerchief from her cuff and spreading it on the ebony table. on it.The handwriting on the silk can only be seen against the white background.Bai Yutang took a closer look, and saw a row of petty characters written on it: Deep palace murderous intentions, it's inconvenient to say it clearly, pretending to be an equipment war, but actually delaying.
"Old man Nangong is right. The ruler of Dali is indeed under the control of others. I'm afraid he threw the real tiger talisman at you, not only to let us know his situation, but also to destroy the evidence for self-protection. If this thin silk falls into the hands of the enemy, the Dali King may be in trouble." The modest Taoist glanced at Bai Yutang, only to see that he did not say a word, and his brows froze when he saw the words on the silk. Never stretched again. "Yutang, this is a big matter. The situation of the ruler of Dali is far more difficult and dangerous than imagined. Today, your visit to the palace at night is even more frightening..." Seeing that the eyes of the lover are darker, I feel uncomfortable.Changing the subject, he said: "Hmph, it seems to be to blame that old man Nangong who is disregarding the overall situation, but Pidianpidian went to patronize his precious apprentice who was worried about him at this time, and he didn't even leave a message of halfway contact. I definitely won't be able to come back anytime soon. I don't know much about the cause and effect of this matter, Yutang, I'm afraid it's up to you to take this idea."
"I understand." Bai Yutang's stern face suddenly became more resolute, as if he had made up his mind, he said seriously: "Then invite Master and Ruhui to come over with your ears."
************************************************** **********************
For the next three days, Bai Yutang and others stayed at home, while the ruler of Dali seemed to have forgotten the existence of these three foreigners in the palace, and focused on "preparing" for the attack on the Song Dynasty.It's just that the calm is on the surface, but dark waves are turbulent behind the scenes.
On the first day, Liu Ruhui, the Avalokitesvara of Thousand Faces, was instructed by Bai Yutang to make full use of her skills, disguise herself as a court lady, and eunuchs frequently went to various palaces and divisions to inquire about news. Duan Hongxing came out for the rescue.But soon he knew that the possibility was slim.Not to mention saving people, it is even more difficult to pass on news.In order to sever secret communication with others, except for the early dynasty, almost all the kings of Dali shut themselves in the palace.And the accompanying palace servants are always fixed on those few, all of them are cautious and careful, and even communicate with each other with secret signs, presumably most of these people are inseparable from the Chai family.And this is just a pawn in Mingli. Bai Yutang thought of the hidden aura that he detected that night, and how many people were distributed in any corner of the Dali Palace to monitor the various movements. It is almost impossible to figure out the clue in a short time. impossible.
Time was running out, and the three had to readjust their plans.In fact, just from the fact that the ruler of Dali never let down his vigilance and revealed his words to anyone on any occasion, we can know that the people behind the surveillance are not simple.On the other hand, the court deliberation is also full of worries.Perhaps it was Bai Yutang's late-night visit that caused Duan Hongxing to be pressured by the other party, and the next day he publicly announced his attack on Song Dynasty.
When the decision made in secret is put on the table, it will inevitably be strongly opposed by a group of veteran officials.It's almost a given.Dali was close to the Song Dynasty, and it has been like this since the founding of the Song Dynasty. It was attached to the first big country, and merchants and merchants circulated with each other, which led to the prosperity and stability of Dali.Now that they have turned against each other, not to mention that the life and death of Prince Zhongyi has not been confirmed yet, even if what he said is true, there were only a few people in Nangong who made a fuss in court, and how many veteran officials in the court could not guess that it was because of the Chai family's affairs?As for how many unknown truths are hidden behind the scenes, how can the sovereign's whim cause an irreparable situation?
For a while, Hongxing was almost helpless, but the situation suddenly took an unexpected turn.When all the veterans spoke harshly and disobeyed the holy will in unison, an untimely laugh resounded in the hall.The newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of War sneered to himself: "A group of old villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death. I Dali killed the crown prince, and you should go to beg for mercy for the murderer. It's ridiculous!" After saying a word, the originally silent young official immediately The voice of the main battle with the same enemy, echoed Duan Hongxing's "decision", and suppressed all the veterans.At this time, it is not difficult for even a fool to know that not only the interior of the palace, but even Dali's internal affairs have gone wrong.When Liu Ruhui reported this situation back, Bai Yutang, who was resting with his eyes closed, almost rolled off the bed.So that night, Taoist Qian He sneaked out of the palace without anyone noticing, and went to the mansion of a group of veterans who were resisting the war.After inquiring, I found out that two years ago, because of a killer organization called "魑鬼", people in Dali were panicked. Many courtiers were assassinated, causing internal chaos and factional antagonisms.It was at this critical juncture that Prince Loyalty, who had been traveling for a long time, returned to the country to supervise the government, and Chai Wenyi was naturally accompanying him.Duan Zhongyi tried his best to promote a group of young lower-level officials to various important positions to fill the vacancies, timely control the expansion of the situation, and dealt a heavy blow to the "evil" gang.In the past, Duan Zhongyi seemed to be wise and courageous, but if you think about it in the present, how can you not guess that it was Chai Wenyi who secretly played a trick, pushing Duan Zhongyi to the front of the stage unconsciously as a puppet, and grasped Dali without bloodshed.Bai Yutang couldn't help but think of Chai Wenyi's complacency in killing the crown prince and blaming Zhan Zhaozhi. At first, he thought he was just wishful thinking. Believe it or not, the trumped-up charges that have been placed on Zhan Zhao's head will be confirmed.
The seriousness of the situation made Bai Yutang very clear that he would never be able to regain the track he wanted overnight.However, with Chinchilla's personality of revenge, even if he can't solve the problem immediately, if others don't make him feel better, he will let the other party never think about living a good life.
So on the third day, the gate of the palace was almost broken.A few elders and important ministers of the cabinet who had gone to protest yesterday because of the failure of the war suddenly stiffened their backs, and all of them came back to life.They mobilized a large number of people to question Song Li's affairs.The strange thing is that a bunch of people don't talk about things in the hall, but they take turns crowding in front of the door of Duan Hongxing's bedroom. There are seventy old ministers who don't know how many years to tell their elders to go back to their hometowns. They heard the news from nowhere, rushed over, broke into the palace with big thorns, and played a rogue in front of Duan Hongxing, and sat down on the ground Crying that if the lord of the country does not give up the idea of raising troops to attack the Song Dynasty, he will often be unable to sit still and go on hunger strike to protest.
No matter how many people there are, even if they are all over fifty years old, they can't be beaten, scolded, or kept up.The sleeping hall is no different than the imperial court, they are all old courtiers who have been his teachers and friends for many years, Duan Hongxing has no choice but to let them make trouble, and he has to call the imperial doctor and palace servants to take care of him when his mouth is dry, his breath is dry and his body is weak.
In this way, it hit Bai Yutang's heart - even though there are thousands of eyes behind him, there are times when he makes mistakes in his busy schedule - and Liu Ruhui sent the news to Duan Hongxing in a grandiose manner under the watchful eyes of everyone.
When Duan Hongxing learned that the mystery of the Tiger Talisman had been solved from the few numbers written on the lid, Bai Yutang and others were very concerned about his situation, and felt much more at ease.It's just that the domestic and private affairs are intertwined and complicated, and it is impossible to analyze them in detail unless they are face to face.Duan Hongxing wanted to see Bai Yutang again, and took advantage of the chaos to secretly write the word "Li Ji" on the bottom of the lamp.
Afterwards, Liu Ruhui brought back the news.Bai Yutang thought about it and decided to take a risk.They detained the person Duan Hongxing wrote, and after careful questioning, they found out that this is Li Ji's attendant, who was originally sent by Chai Wenyi to the palace to keep an eye on Duan Hongxing. Later, because of the benevolence and generosity of the king, he gradually developed a heart to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, but unfortunately there is no chance yet. However, he was afraid of retaliation for his betrayal, so he hesitated until now.Bai Yutang stated his interests, which strengthened Li Ji's determination to help them.Knowing that Li Ji was on duty tonight, Bai Yutang immediately decided to ask Liu Ruhui to change their identities. Afterwards, he took his waist card, memorized the password, and walked to the front of the palace at the time of the shift.
After a day of tossing and tossing, the guard of the palace was already exhausted. Bai Yutang lowered his voice and pretended that he was caught in the cold. The other party didn't pursue him anymore, but let him in after checking his waist card and several codes.Seeing him coming, Duan Hongxing couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, but his face remained calm and he said: "Li Ji, you came just in time, those old-fashioned chatterers made me sore all over, I heard that you know how to massage with your hands, and Help me to use it, go and get tired." After saying that, he waved back to the left and right, leaving only Bai Yutang in the sleeping hall.
Bai Yutang responded, and approached the side of the bed to help Duan Hongxing lie down, and then pushed him up in a manner.The two deliberately took a blind spot of vision, and the conversation was completely hidden between the massage gestures.In order to prevent someone with a sharp ear from hiding in the dark to detect the whispering, Duan Hongxing specially inserted a few instructions such as "lighter, heavier, left, right" from time to time, making Bai Yutang secretly laugh that the lord of Dali really knows how to play tricks , enough for a full set.However, he understood that if Duan Hongxing hadn't been cautious, he might not have survived today.This bit of Duan Zhongyi is probably a thousand miles away from his father who is the ruler of the country.
Time was running out, so Duan Hongxing briefly talked about the current situation in Dali. While talking, he observed Chin Maoshu's eyes and saw that the other party was calm and composed. How to deal with it.Bai Yutang listened respectfully on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart, because the countermeasure Duan Hongxing said was nothing more than asking the border guard Marshal Sun Mian to secretly lead the troops back to the capital, and take down the party members with lightning speed.Bai Yutang and the others had already thought of this point before: Duan Hongxing would take the risk of hiding books in the tiger amulet to secretly communicate with Sun Mian, and Sun Mian must be a trustworthy minister.
But this matter is easy to say, the difficulty lies in how to win the trust of the other party.Bai Yutang said that Duan Hongxing could be rescued in disguise, and he would personally go to the border to order, but Duan Hongxing still shook his head.In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand the reason why the ruler of Dali refused. If he leaves, the innocent courtiers and palace people will suffer disaster.So Bai Yutang changed the subject and asked if there was any evidence to win the trust. Duan Hongxing thought for a while and said, "It's okay, Mian has been my reading companion since childhood, and I have a very good personal relationship. There is such a token, and others should just treat it as ordinary. If he sees it, he will definitely believe it." You." As he spoke, he directed Bai Yutang to get it from a side cabinet, Bai Yutang walked a few steps to the cabinet, and was about to bend down to open the cabinet, when suddenly he felt a fierce and murderous aura that couldn't stop pressing into the hall from outside .Raising his head suddenly, his sword eyebrows raised in shock, Bai Yutang turned around and retreated back to protect Duan Hongxing. (Zero: I found out that someone misunderstood it before, so I’ll explain it here again. The secret letter in the Tiger Talisman discovered by Xiaobai was not written to him, but to Sun Mian, who would have received the Tiger Talisman. Duan Hongxing was afraid of being chased. The secret of the returned Tiger Talisman was exposed, so he threw it to Bai Yutang, first to destroy the evidence for self-protection, and second, to let Bai Yutang and others know his intentions.)
At this time, Hongxing had already sensed that something was wrong, and thought that maybe something was showing his feet so that people could find out.Sitting up, he pushed Bai Yutang aside, and said loudly, "Who is it? Come out!"
The door of the temple was pushed open vigorously by "creaking".
The inexplicable strong wind took advantage of the gap and filed in, blowing the sleeves of the clothes so that it was almost impossible to look directly at them. The candles were extinguished one after another, and the hall became darker.
Bai Yutang quickly grasped the windshield candle stand beside him that was about to fall.After the strong wind passed, four white-clothed women who were smiling and smiling floated in, standing on both sides.They were greeting each other outside the hall respectfully, one of them suddenly caught a glimpse of Duan Hongxing sitting on the couch all the time, and said with a displeased sneer: "My master traveled thousands of miles day and night to come here, yet the lord of the country greeted him comfortably on the couch, what's the reason? "The face suddenly sank, and he shouted loudly, "Why don't you get out of here?!"
What kind of woman is so arrogant?The veins on Bai Yutang's forehead twitched violently.Even if Duan Hongxing could bear it, the arrogant Bai Yutang would never be able to bear such arrogance.Just about to speak up to defend, before the darkness did not see clearly, at this moment, the light shines on it, causing the eyelids to jump wildly, and then I heard a familiar voice coming from outside the hall, neither cold nor hot, neither heavy nor aggressive, It sounds lazy and comfortable, but there is an unexplainable evil spirit.
"Bai Shi, although your words are good, you are presumptuous."
Dressed in a purple dress, she gracefully emerged from the darkness of the night, like a ruler from the underworld, noble and gloomy.The man in purple had a smile on his face, but he was indifferent to the ice blade that could cut people apart. After that sound, he was silent, so quiet that it was almost terrifying, until two women in white appeared behind him, whispering a few words in his ear Finally, the smile of the man in purple returned to a warm color as if the ice and snow had just melted.
"Lord Dali, long time no see."
Zijin? ! ! !
Bai Yutang was so shocked that he almost couldn't help calling the name "export".
what happened?How could that murderous demon appear here?How could he recognize the Lord of Dali?What exactly is he here for? !
The eyes are cloudy and uncertain, wandering between Duan Hongxing and Zijin, and the thoughts in his heart are even more turbulent, turning back and forth.
Seeing that Duan Hongxing was silent, Zi Jin knew he was worried, so the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "If the lord is worried about those eyeliners outside, then there is no need to worry. Everyone within three feet of this hall, if there are still Those who are alive are already lying down at this moment."
Duan Hongxing's eyebrows twitched: "Did you kill them?"
Zi Jin looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, while pacing in from outside the palace gate.He clearly saw that his pace was extremely slow, as slow as a turtle, but in the blink of an eye, he was strangely in front of the two of them.Bai Yutang instinctively wanted to make a move, but Duan Hongxing pressed him firmly, but the three of them were so close, how could such subtle movements be hidden from Zi Jin's eyes?He suddenly squinted at Bai Yutang, his gaze was extremely dangerous.
Duan Hongxing hurriedly stood up to protect him: "Stop, he is my confidant."
Zi Jin was full of disdain, "Since you are a slave, get out of the way and don't get in the way." After saying that, he raised his hand and drove Bai Yutang aside with the wind of his sleeve.
Bai Yutang staggered pretending to be unsteady on his footing, retreated obediently to the side, but concentrated his attention on every move in front of the couch, if Duan Hongxing hadn't tried his best to signal with his eyes to be safe and not to be impatient, he might have been unable to hold back.
Duan Hong got up and said slowly, "Master Yunmeng, is it necessary to make such a big fuss every time we meet?"
"Oh? Is this accusing me of killing many of your palace servants when I broke into the palace last time?" Zi Jin didn't take it seriously, and sneered again and again, "The lord should understand that this is the price you want to see me. I won't go See anyone I don't want to see, especially the employer. Since the lord of the country forces me to show up, I have to pay the price that makes me happy." Seeing Duan Hongxing's lips and teeth move slightly, he guessed what he wanted to say, and said quickly : "But you seem to have misunderstood. Last time I did kill the people in your palace to relieve my depression, but this time I didn't kill anyone."
"But you said..."
"It's natural to put them down, right? Could it be that I have to sneak in here? Besides, if that's not the case, do you think you can speak freely like this at the moment?" Pressing Duan Hongxing's shoulder, Zi Jin turned around Sit on a soft couch.Touching the surface of the couch covered with a layer of purple cloud brocade, his brows were filled with joy, and he actually lay down on his side. "Don't worry, those people were just poisoned by my newly prepared poison. In three hours, as long as they can take the antidote in time, they can be rescued. And..." Zi Jin paused, and stretched out two fingers to point at Bai Ling You Nu Gou, Bai Shi understood, smiled and approached to serve as Zi Jin beat his legs and feet rhythmically.Zi Jin's eyes were slightly closed, showing a face of enjoyment, and then he said calmly: "This poison has another effect, after taking the antidote, you will forget everything that happened when you were poisoned. Wouldn't this be in line with the will of the country's lord?"
Duan Hongxing has no time to be annoyed by Zi Jin's wanton behavior at this moment, if it is true as Zi Jin said, he is indeed a little bit secretly happy.Because if all the watchers died, it would definitely alarm Chai Wenyi, which would be bad.Don't worry about the scheming King Chai, let alone the prince's life, even Dali may be in turmoil. This is also the reason why he refused to second Bai Yutang's disguise to leave the palace. It will keep more people safe.
"Lord Dali, do you know why I came here this time?"
"Since I invited Master Yunmeng to come, how could I not know?"
"Then you'd better know everything and say everything, otherwise..." Slowly opening a slit in the eyes, but it is so strange and charming that it makes people tremble all over.
Duan Hongxing withstood the tingling threat and tried to maintain his original composure. "Master Yunmeng should also know that until the desired result is achieved, I will not reveal a word of that secret."
"Crack!" A corner of the soft couch was snapped off.Both eyes were fully opened, and the smile was subdued. Zi Jin said with a cold face: "Do you think this matter is up to you to choose? Duan Hongxing, don't take yourself too seriously. In Dali, you may be the ruler of a country. But in my Zijin eyes, you are nothing!"
Bai Yutang peeked at Duan Hongxing, whose face was livid with anger, and muttered in his heart: Sure enough!Faced with that Zi Jin, few of them can be calm and calm, and they are already very self-control not to be mad by anger.But having said that, the gas is also white gas.In the eyes of that madman, apart from Zhan Zhao, he probably didn't regard anyone as a human being at all.
Thinking of Zhan Zhao, I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart.
Cat, where are you now?Is it okay?Do you know that my heart has been up and down all this time?I couldn't find you in Haoshan. For the sake of the overall situation, I had to choose to come to Dali first, but I didn't want to get stuck here and get tired of coping.I only hate myself for being incompetent, not being able to share your worries, and even more hating not being able to protect you well back then.So please don't have any accidents, wait for me, you must wait for me...
There were a lot of thoughts in my mind, but I was quickly attracted by the conversation between the two.There are some facts in this world that are completely unimaginable unless you have heard them with your own ears.
"Is this a threat?" Duan Hongxing lowered his already old voice, no longer returning to his original gentle state. "Actually, to show my sincerity, it's okay for me to tell the secret first. It's just that because of Master Yunmeng's deceit two years ago, Dali is now in crisis. My son Zhongyi was even taken away by the thieves back then. In such a situation, shouldn't I keep a hand for myself?"
"Deception?" Lazily raised her upper body from the soft couch, glanced at the other party's indifferent expression, Zi Jin suddenly seemed to remember something, and put her hand on her chin, and smiled foolishly. "So that's it. It seems that that kid named Chai Wenyi did a good job. He made you miserable."
The murderous intent flickered in Duan Hongxing's eyes, and he almost forcibly suppressed it, so that he didn't let it out of his voice: "You really know the real mastermind behind the 'Demon' two years ago."
"So what if you know?" Zi Jin looked around in a daze.
"Then why don't you kill him? This is not in line with our agreement."
"I don't remember any agreement we had."
Duan Hong was very angry, stepped forward and said sharply: "If you didn't ask you to find out the dark ghost behind the 'Mei' and get rid of it, why would I invite you for an interview?"
"Come here for an interview? Humph! Duan Hongxing, that sounds good. Two years ago, Dali was hit by the '魑鬼' rebellion, and you had no way to deal with it, so you asked 'Yunmenglong' to kill you secretly. This is a business that you love and I want , but you just don’t know what’s good and what’s wrong, so you found out where Ziyunmeng is and forced me to show up.” Swiping back Bai Shi and sitting up cross-legged, Zi Jin stared at the Lord of Dali in front of him with lowered eyebrows, deep eyes Occasionally throw a bit of ruthlessness. "I forgot to praise you, but you actually know that Ziyunmeng where I live is not the Yunmeng Mountain that the world is familiar with. I am very curious about this until now. How did you know?"
"During the period when I was sick, I personally sneaked into the Central Plains and visited all the places called Yunmeng Mountain, but unfortunately found nothing. With such an answer, is Master Yunmeng still satisfied?"
"Then how do you know where Ziyunmeng really is?"
"That's why I have nothing to say."
"So it turns out that you don't know anything."
Duan Hongxing's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, which made Zijin speculate more definitely. "I didn't expect that I, Zi Jin, would be fooled by you, an old bastard who made something out of nothing!"
Duan Hongxing couldn't hide it, so he sighed: "Although I deceived you, I didn't get any advantage, did I? 'Yunmenglong' is little known, and I have also added a request to investigate the mastermind behind 'Mei' , but was rejected, saying what Master Yunmeng instructed, only killing people without investigating the truth. If it wasn't for low-key handling of the civil strife in Dali and reducing unnecessary casualties, why would I go to you and others? If we can't root out the instigators behind the civil strife Besides, what qualifications do I have to be the lord of a country in Dali? But I never expected that I tried my best to beg you to agree to my unfeeling request, but in the end I still let Chai Wenyi, the source of all evil, escape and ascend to heaven. … No, it's not that Chai Wenyi is lucky, it's that your Master Yunmeng didn't want to kill him at all."
Zi Jin's face darkened slightly, and suddenly he chuckled unpredictably. "Master Duan, you are wrong."
"Where is wrong?"
"Although I don't like your way of forcing me to meet, I've already killed a bunch of palace officials to vent my anger, and I'll let out all my anger. Besides, it's also a murder business, so it's a bit troublesome to turn a corner. If I agree with you, I will investigate to the end for you to avoid future troubles."
"Then why did you change your mind?...Could it be...Chai Wenyi found out? You made another deal with him?"
"Duan Hongxing, don't confuse my 'Yunmenglong' with an organization like 'Mei'. Besides, no matter how clever Chai Wenyi was, he couldn't have made the plan seamless when he was only seventeen. To find out the existence of 'Yunmenglong'? I have my own reasons for not killing him. As for what it is, I don't need to tell you, do I?"
"you!"
"I advise you not to ask the bottom line. Because knowing the answer is not good for you
Duan Hongxing, who was resting on the dragon bed, sighed, turned over and sat up.The visitor had already expected it in the middle of the night, but he just raised his eyes, and the astonishment still flew across his face, but it was fleeting, and then he took the white figure standing upright in the center of the palace into his eyes.
"It seems that I am getting old. I thought Mr. Buju would be the one to meet tonight, but the one who didn't want to come was the Chinchilla."
Bai Yutang visited according to the etiquette, and after he finished, he said: "Sir, I also wanted to come to meet the king in person, but unfortunately I don't have the skills to spare, so I have to let Xiao Ke pay the visit on my behalf."
Duan Hongxing's eyes suddenly wandered away. "Has Mr. Buju left the palace to find an apprentice?"
The corner of Bai Yutang's eyes twitched, "By the way, I'm also looking for the crown prince for the lord."
The light seemed to burst out from his eyes, the faint helplessness suddenly turned cold, Duan Hongxing said firmly: "My son is dead, please don't mention it again."
Couldn't help but roll his eyes to the sky, Bai Yutang muttered, "I've seen all kinds of ridiculous things in this world, but I've never seen Lao Tzu who cursed his son to death."
The sound was a little bit loud, but in such a quiet night, it was unavoidable to be heard by sharp ears.Duan Hongxing lowered his face and said: "If you want to say something, you can say it bluntly. But if the old matter is brought up again, please leave quickly, and don't disturb my dream."
"In the afternoon, Caomin knew that the ruler insisted on not believing what the Chai family did, so he wouldn't waste his time talking about being boring. It's okay, let's put aside the trivial matters and let's not mention them for now." Chicly dressed In the robe, he actually picked up a sandalwood chair in the dormitory, flipped it over and sat down.Seeing the Lord of Dali frowned and squinted at his self-talking behavior, with displeasure on his face, Bai Yutang couldn't help but tilt his head and smile. "Cao Min is injured, since the lord of the country left me here to recuperate in the Dali Palace, he will not be stingy at this time, right?"
Duan Hongxing said coldly: "Generous or stingy, I'm not here. Young Xia Bai, you can do whatever you want!"
Bai Yutang secretly smiled in his heart, thinking that the Dali Duan family's martial arts practice for generations is really different, and they all have a bit of quack air.But it's so good, there's no need to flick your tongue for chewing on those meaningless honorifics.Bai Yutang's expression turned serious, and he went straight to the point and said, "Since the lord knows that someone will visit tonight, he should also know what I want to ask, right?"
"The tiger talisman is just like what you have seen with your own eyes."
"The lord really wants to make a big move against me, Da Song?"
"Since Emperor Song was able to exterminate my only heir, wouldn't it be wrong for me to repay the debt with blood?"
"It's a mistake." Bai Yutang thought about it and shook his head. "No, rather than saying it's wrong, it's better to say it doesn't look like what the lord did."
Duan Hongxing laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Bai Yutang, if these words came from Mr. Buju, I would take them as human words, but it's really funny to say them from the mouth of a brat like you."
Bai Yutang was not angry at all, instead he said with a sneer, "Since I came here tonight on behalf of Mr. Nangong, most of what I said and did came from Mr.'s instruction. Dali was changed 13 years ago, and the grassroots really knew very little about it. However, Mr. Nangong asked before leaving, the grassroots dare not neglect, they have already heard a little about the relationship between the ruler and the gentleman, as for the ruler's consistent attitude in governing the country and dealing with the world, it will inevitably leak into his ears. Now that the ruler is acting extreme, it is a big deal It’s against common sense, and it’s really hard to think about.”
Duan Hongxing said: "Master Bai has probably forgotten. Although I am a king, I am also a father."
"That's why the grass-roots people think too much. The grass-roots people are not roundworms in the belly of the king. If you don't think about it thoroughly, you don't know whether the king or the father is the most important thing in the heart of the king."
As if he had heard enough of Bai Yutang's disrespect, Duan Hongxing suddenly stood up, tearing the calm on his face.He walked down the bed steps with a cold expression on his face. "Bai Yutang, I don't have time to play tricks with you. The move to attack the Song Dynasty is imperative. You can steal the tiger talisman for a while, but you can't steal my holy life for a lifetime. If you are sensible, hand over the tiger talisman and use this fake to deceive me. , what is it?” He took out an object from his bosom and threw it casually.
Bai Yutang caught it and saw that it was the Tiger Talisman that Nangong Wei had thrown on the court hall.Glancing at Duan Hongxing, and then looking at the things in his hands, Bai Yutang suddenly fell silent as if he was thinking about something, and then smiled again after a while. "Guo Ke really likes to joke, since he has a sacred destiny, why should he care whether this tiger charm, which is already like a waste, is true or not?"
"How can my token of Dali dispatching troops fall into the hands of foreigners."
"So, Caomin really don't know. Since the tiger talisman was exchanged by Mr. Nangong, it is really in his hands. Mr. has gone out of the palace now. If the king wants to recover Wanbi, he has to wait patiently."
Duan Hongxing said unhappily: "Since that's the case, there's no need to talk about it anymore." He flicked his sleeves violently, called "see off", and drove Bai Yutang out of the bedroom.In the middle of the night, Bai Yutang shrugged his nose, but he didn't lose his temper in the slightest, instead he leisurely wandered back to his residence humming a little song.
As soon as Pu entered the door, he was grabbed by the humble Taoist. "How are things going?"
Bai Yutang made a silent gesture, then tilted his head towards Liu Ruhui.Ruhui nodded comprehendingly, and immediately went out of the house, then turned back after a while, and whispered: "Fifth Master, don't worry, the snake array has been set up."
Bai Yutang still didn't dare to be careless, he took out the tiger talisman and asked his teacher after looking around the room to confirm that he was safe, "Well, master, do you know what Mr. Buju's intention is?"
The humble Taoist took it and said puzzledly, "I don't understand what you mean, my teacher."
"The lord of Dali states that this tiger talisman is a fake."
"Impossible." The Taoist Qianhe said decisively: "It was the poor Taoist who went to intercept the tiger talisman personally. This thing has always been in my hands. Old Nangong asked the poor Taoist to ask for it when he was driving. Unless he is already familiar with it. In the shape of a tiger talisman, prepare a fake one, otherwise this tiger talisman was fake from the beginning."
What the modest Taoist said caused Bai Yutang to take another long exam.The theory of fake things is not advisable.The tiger talisman had to be passed to the border generals through the hands of others, and just entered the palace, and he could indeed feel a few auras lurking in the dark. His intelligence and strategy are very likely to guard against this kind of fraud, and it seems that the Dali ruler is quite cautious in his actions, so it is likely that he will not pay attention to the prince's safety and his own plight due to a fluke.But if it is said that Nangong Wei prepared a fake tiger talisman early on, it would be another unthinkable, and it is not Chai Wenyi who has long been scheming to get involved in Dali.Furthermore, before his departure, Master Mao'er had ordered him to use words to provoke the Dali ruler deliberately. He thought it was a way to secretly communicate with the song and get some useful information, but his attitude was tough and he had no chance to take advantage In addition to going around and tangling on the fake tiger talisman...
tiger? !
Bai Yutang's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but go around and sit down at the back, repeatedly picking up the tiger talisman in his hand.The humble Taoist saw that Bai Yutang's hand gestures were completely hidden tricks he had learned secretly, and he immediately understood it. He folded his chest comfortably and wanted to see his apprentice's ability. Impatiently, he snatched the tiger amulet and said angrily: "Stinky boy, I thought you were some kind of amazing genius, stealing a teacher is also a half-baked trick, shame on you. Get out of the way!"
Bai Yutang curled his lips and gave up his seat reluctantly. "Fifth Master, I am not a god, so I just climbed to the roof and took a look. What kind of unique skills can I steal? The skill of my hands is no better than the dead mechanism set up in the woods. If you have nothing to do, you can figure it out if you take it apart. See through."
The humble Taoist raised his brows upside down: "You have the face to say it! I set up guards against thieves for the teacher, but none of the outside thieves were guarded, and you, the inside thief, completely destroyed it."
"Master, that's what you said." Bai Yutang laughed softly to flatter him, but actually walked over quietly, not to mention the bright tricks of sneaking around.
"Hey! Roll as far as you can for the poor Taoist." He pushed his elbow away, covered his sight with half of his body, and the modest Taoist ignored Bai Yutang's humming words like "stingy" from his nostrils, and said directly : "If you don't save a hand, I don't know what to do in the future to punish you, a bastard who is running around!"
"Rare——." Bai Yutang rolled his eyes skyward, sneered and dragged his voice for a long time, and sat aside sullenly.
An expert is worthy of an expert, and the trick was solved in a blink of an eye.When the modest Taoist took out a piece of silk as thin as a cicada's wing from the tiger talisman, Bai Yutang smiled and his heart was filled with enthusiasm: He is indeed his master of Bai Yutang, the sword is not old.
It turned out that this humble Taoist was a well-known master of hidden weapons in the world before he entered Taoism, and his common name was Zhou Dingtian.He is extremely intelligent, but also extremely conceited. He is obsessed with the art of hidden weapon mechanisms. He has designed all kinds of exquisite mechanism hidden weapons, which are still widely circulated in the world.He believed that with this skill he would be able to stand alone in the world, so he neglected martial arts.Fighting against him often suffers from all kinds of hidden weapons that he can't finish and can't figure out, which is simply impossible to guard against.
But in the world, there is just one person who guards against it, and uses a pair of famous hands to take over all the murderous intentions from all directions, which makes Zhou Dingtian's conceit suddenly become useless.No need to ask, this person is naturally Zhan Zhao's mentor Nan Gongwei, and only Mr. Buju's hand can receive Zhou Dingtian's full strength in the world.
Yu Zhou Dingtian was lucky for the only defeat. He suddenly realized that he had deviated from the "Wu" way, and had to become a monk and worship under the Taoist master.The reason why I took the name "Modest" is to remind myself to restrain my natural pride and conceit at all times.As for abandoning the strengths of hidden weapons and focusing on the weaknesses of swordsmanship afterwards, it was completely suffocating. In order to compete with Nangong Wei again, Mr. I don't know when to get up and live. "Hands".Of course, this is foreign language. (Zero: I would like to explain here, saying that Daoist Qianhe deviated from martial arts in the past, not because he used hidden weapons or deviated, but that he put his mind on thinking about the style and style of hidden weapons and other things, but not because he was throwing hidden weapons in martial arts. This is what I think is the deviation. For example, a real master can defeat a person with a magic weapon with a dead branch, which is the reason.)
"I didn't expect there to be such a mystery in this tiger talisman." Liu Ruhui sighed, pulling out a white handkerchief from her cuff and spreading it on the ebony table. on it.The handwriting on the silk can only be seen against the white background.Bai Yutang took a closer look, and saw a row of petty characters written on it: Deep palace murderous intentions, it's inconvenient to say it clearly, pretending to be an equipment war, but actually delaying.
"Old man Nangong is right. The ruler of Dali is indeed under the control of others. I'm afraid he threw the real tiger talisman at you, not only to let us know his situation, but also to destroy the evidence for self-protection. If this thin silk falls into the hands of the enemy, the Dali King may be in trouble." The modest Taoist glanced at Bai Yutang, only to see that he did not say a word, and his brows froze when he saw the words on the silk. Never stretched again. "Yutang, this is a big matter. The situation of the ruler of Dali is far more difficult and dangerous than imagined. Today, your visit to the palace at night is even more frightening..." Seeing that the eyes of the lover are darker, I feel uncomfortable.Changing the subject, he said: "Hmph, it seems to be to blame that old man Nangong who is disregarding the overall situation, but Pidianpidian went to patronize his precious apprentice who was worried about him at this time, and he didn't even leave a message of halfway contact. I definitely won't be able to come back anytime soon. I don't know much about the cause and effect of this matter, Yutang, I'm afraid it's up to you to take this idea."
"I understand." Bai Yutang's stern face suddenly became more resolute, as if he had made up his mind, he said seriously: "Then invite Master and Ruhui to come over with your ears."
************************************************** **********************
For the next three days, Bai Yutang and others stayed at home, while the ruler of Dali seemed to have forgotten the existence of these three foreigners in the palace, and focused on "preparing" for the attack on the Song Dynasty.It's just that the calm is on the surface, but dark waves are turbulent behind the scenes.
On the first day, Liu Ruhui, the Avalokitesvara of Thousand Faces, was instructed by Bai Yutang to make full use of her skills, disguise herself as a court lady, and eunuchs frequently went to various palaces and divisions to inquire about news. Duan Hongxing came out for the rescue.But soon he knew that the possibility was slim.Not to mention saving people, it is even more difficult to pass on news.In order to sever secret communication with others, except for the early dynasty, almost all the kings of Dali shut themselves in the palace.And the accompanying palace servants are always fixed on those few, all of them are cautious and careful, and even communicate with each other with secret signs, presumably most of these people are inseparable from the Chai family.And this is just a pawn in Mingli. Bai Yutang thought of the hidden aura that he detected that night, and how many people were distributed in any corner of the Dali Palace to monitor the various movements. It is almost impossible to figure out the clue in a short time. impossible.
Time was running out, and the three had to readjust their plans.In fact, just from the fact that the ruler of Dali never let down his vigilance and revealed his words to anyone on any occasion, we can know that the people behind the surveillance are not simple.On the other hand, the court deliberation is also full of worries.Perhaps it was Bai Yutang's late-night visit that caused Duan Hongxing to be pressured by the other party, and the next day he publicly announced his attack on Song Dynasty.
When the decision made in secret is put on the table, it will inevitably be strongly opposed by a group of veteran officials.It's almost a given.Dali was close to the Song Dynasty, and it has been like this since the founding of the Song Dynasty. It was attached to the first big country, and merchants and merchants circulated with each other, which led to the prosperity and stability of Dali.Now that they have turned against each other, not to mention that the life and death of Prince Zhongyi has not been confirmed yet, even if what he said is true, there were only a few people in Nangong who made a fuss in court, and how many veteran officials in the court could not guess that it was because of the Chai family's affairs?As for how many unknown truths are hidden behind the scenes, how can the sovereign's whim cause an irreparable situation?
For a while, Hongxing was almost helpless, but the situation suddenly took an unexpected turn.When all the veterans spoke harshly and disobeyed the holy will in unison, an untimely laugh resounded in the hall.The newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of War sneered to himself: "A group of old villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death. I Dali killed the crown prince, and you should go to beg for mercy for the murderer. It's ridiculous!" After saying a word, the originally silent young official immediately The voice of the main battle with the same enemy, echoed Duan Hongxing's "decision", and suppressed all the veterans.At this time, it is not difficult for even a fool to know that not only the interior of the palace, but even Dali's internal affairs have gone wrong.When Liu Ruhui reported this situation back, Bai Yutang, who was resting with his eyes closed, almost rolled off the bed.So that night, Taoist Qian He sneaked out of the palace without anyone noticing, and went to the mansion of a group of veterans who were resisting the war.After inquiring, I found out that two years ago, because of a killer organization called "魑鬼", people in Dali were panicked. Many courtiers were assassinated, causing internal chaos and factional antagonisms.It was at this critical juncture that Prince Loyalty, who had been traveling for a long time, returned to the country to supervise the government, and Chai Wenyi was naturally accompanying him.Duan Zhongyi tried his best to promote a group of young lower-level officials to various important positions to fill the vacancies, timely control the expansion of the situation, and dealt a heavy blow to the "evil" gang.In the past, Duan Zhongyi seemed to be wise and courageous, but if you think about it in the present, how can you not guess that it was Chai Wenyi who secretly played a trick, pushing Duan Zhongyi to the front of the stage unconsciously as a puppet, and grasped Dali without bloodshed.Bai Yutang couldn't help but think of Chai Wenyi's complacency in killing the crown prince and blaming Zhan Zhaozhi. At first, he thought he was just wishful thinking. Believe it or not, the trumped-up charges that have been placed on Zhan Zhao's head will be confirmed.
The seriousness of the situation made Bai Yutang very clear that he would never be able to regain the track he wanted overnight.However, with Chinchilla's personality of revenge, even if he can't solve the problem immediately, if others don't make him feel better, he will let the other party never think about living a good life.
So on the third day, the gate of the palace was almost broken.A few elders and important ministers of the cabinet who had gone to protest yesterday because of the failure of the war suddenly stiffened their backs, and all of them came back to life.They mobilized a large number of people to question Song Li's affairs.The strange thing is that a bunch of people don't talk about things in the hall, but they take turns crowding in front of the door of Duan Hongxing's bedroom. There are seventy old ministers who don't know how many years to tell their elders to go back to their hometowns. They heard the news from nowhere, rushed over, broke into the palace with big thorns, and played a rogue in front of Duan Hongxing, and sat down on the ground Crying that if the lord of the country does not give up the idea of raising troops to attack the Song Dynasty, he will often be unable to sit still and go on hunger strike to protest.
No matter how many people there are, even if they are all over fifty years old, they can't be beaten, scolded, or kept up.The sleeping hall is no different than the imperial court, they are all old courtiers who have been his teachers and friends for many years, Duan Hongxing has no choice but to let them make trouble, and he has to call the imperial doctor and palace servants to take care of him when his mouth is dry, his breath is dry and his body is weak.
In this way, it hit Bai Yutang's heart - even though there are thousands of eyes behind him, there are times when he makes mistakes in his busy schedule - and Liu Ruhui sent the news to Duan Hongxing in a grandiose manner under the watchful eyes of everyone.
When Duan Hongxing learned that the mystery of the Tiger Talisman had been solved from the few numbers written on the lid, Bai Yutang and others were very concerned about his situation, and felt much more at ease.It's just that the domestic and private affairs are intertwined and complicated, and it is impossible to analyze them in detail unless they are face to face.Duan Hongxing wanted to see Bai Yutang again, and took advantage of the chaos to secretly write the word "Li Ji" on the bottom of the lamp.
Afterwards, Liu Ruhui brought back the news.Bai Yutang thought about it and decided to take a risk.They detained the person Duan Hongxing wrote, and after careful questioning, they found out that this is Li Ji's attendant, who was originally sent by Chai Wenyi to the palace to keep an eye on Duan Hongxing. Later, because of the benevolence and generosity of the king, he gradually developed a heart to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, but unfortunately there is no chance yet. However, he was afraid of retaliation for his betrayal, so he hesitated until now.Bai Yutang stated his interests, which strengthened Li Ji's determination to help them.Knowing that Li Ji was on duty tonight, Bai Yutang immediately decided to ask Liu Ruhui to change their identities. Afterwards, he took his waist card, memorized the password, and walked to the front of the palace at the time of the shift.
After a day of tossing and tossing, the guard of the palace was already exhausted. Bai Yutang lowered his voice and pretended that he was caught in the cold. The other party didn't pursue him anymore, but let him in after checking his waist card and several codes.Seeing him coming, Duan Hongxing couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, but his face remained calm and he said: "Li Ji, you came just in time, those old-fashioned chatterers made me sore all over, I heard that you know how to massage with your hands, and Help me to use it, go and get tired." After saying that, he waved back to the left and right, leaving only Bai Yutang in the sleeping hall.
Bai Yutang responded, and approached the side of the bed to help Duan Hongxing lie down, and then pushed him up in a manner.The two deliberately took a blind spot of vision, and the conversation was completely hidden between the massage gestures.In order to prevent someone with a sharp ear from hiding in the dark to detect the whispering, Duan Hongxing specially inserted a few instructions such as "lighter, heavier, left, right" from time to time, making Bai Yutang secretly laugh that the lord of Dali really knows how to play tricks , enough for a full set.However, he understood that if Duan Hongxing hadn't been cautious, he might not have survived today.This bit of Duan Zhongyi is probably a thousand miles away from his father who is the ruler of the country.
Time was running out, so Duan Hongxing briefly talked about the current situation in Dali. While talking, he observed Chin Maoshu's eyes and saw that the other party was calm and composed. How to deal with it.Bai Yutang listened respectfully on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart, because the countermeasure Duan Hongxing said was nothing more than asking the border guard Marshal Sun Mian to secretly lead the troops back to the capital, and take down the party members with lightning speed.Bai Yutang and the others had already thought of this point before: Duan Hongxing would take the risk of hiding books in the tiger amulet to secretly communicate with Sun Mian, and Sun Mian must be a trustworthy minister.
But this matter is easy to say, the difficulty lies in how to win the trust of the other party.Bai Yutang said that Duan Hongxing could be rescued in disguise, and he would personally go to the border to order, but Duan Hongxing still shook his head.In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand the reason why the ruler of Dali refused. If he leaves, the innocent courtiers and palace people will suffer disaster.So Bai Yutang changed the subject and asked if there was any evidence to win the trust. Duan Hongxing thought for a while and said, "It's okay, Mian has been my reading companion since childhood, and I have a very good personal relationship. There is such a token, and others should just treat it as ordinary. If he sees it, he will definitely believe it." You." As he spoke, he directed Bai Yutang to get it from a side cabinet, Bai Yutang walked a few steps to the cabinet, and was about to bend down to open the cabinet, when suddenly he felt a fierce and murderous aura that couldn't stop pressing into the hall from outside .Raising his head suddenly, his sword eyebrows raised in shock, Bai Yutang turned around and retreated back to protect Duan Hongxing. (Zero: I found out that someone misunderstood it before, so I’ll explain it here again. The secret letter in the Tiger Talisman discovered by Xiaobai was not written to him, but to Sun Mian, who would have received the Tiger Talisman. Duan Hongxing was afraid of being chased. The secret of the returned Tiger Talisman was exposed, so he threw it to Bai Yutang, first to destroy the evidence for self-protection, and second, to let Bai Yutang and others know his intentions.)
At this time, Hongxing had already sensed that something was wrong, and thought that maybe something was showing his feet so that people could find out.Sitting up, he pushed Bai Yutang aside, and said loudly, "Who is it? Come out!"
The door of the temple was pushed open vigorously by "creaking".
The inexplicable strong wind took advantage of the gap and filed in, blowing the sleeves of the clothes so that it was almost impossible to look directly at them. The candles were extinguished one after another, and the hall became darker.
Bai Yutang quickly grasped the windshield candle stand beside him that was about to fall.After the strong wind passed, four white-clothed women who were smiling and smiling floated in, standing on both sides.They were greeting each other outside the hall respectfully, one of them suddenly caught a glimpse of Duan Hongxing sitting on the couch all the time, and said with a displeased sneer: "My master traveled thousands of miles day and night to come here, yet the lord of the country greeted him comfortably on the couch, what's the reason? "The face suddenly sank, and he shouted loudly, "Why don't you get out of here?!"
What kind of woman is so arrogant?The veins on Bai Yutang's forehead twitched violently.Even if Duan Hongxing could bear it, the arrogant Bai Yutang would never be able to bear such arrogance.Just about to speak up to defend, before the darkness did not see clearly, at this moment, the light shines on it, causing the eyelids to jump wildly, and then I heard a familiar voice coming from outside the hall, neither cold nor hot, neither heavy nor aggressive, It sounds lazy and comfortable, but there is an unexplainable evil spirit.
"Bai Shi, although your words are good, you are presumptuous."
Dressed in a purple dress, she gracefully emerged from the darkness of the night, like a ruler from the underworld, noble and gloomy.The man in purple had a smile on his face, but he was indifferent to the ice blade that could cut people apart. After that sound, he was silent, so quiet that it was almost terrifying, until two women in white appeared behind him, whispering a few words in his ear Finally, the smile of the man in purple returned to a warm color as if the ice and snow had just melted.
"Lord Dali, long time no see."
Zijin? ! ! !
Bai Yutang was so shocked that he almost couldn't help calling the name "export".
what happened?How could that murderous demon appear here?How could he recognize the Lord of Dali?What exactly is he here for? !
The eyes are cloudy and uncertain, wandering between Duan Hongxing and Zijin, and the thoughts in his heart are even more turbulent, turning back and forth.
Seeing that Duan Hongxing was silent, Zi Jin knew he was worried, so the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "If the lord is worried about those eyeliners outside, then there is no need to worry. Everyone within three feet of this hall, if there are still Those who are alive are already lying down at this moment."
Duan Hongxing's eyebrows twitched: "Did you kill them?"
Zi Jin looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, while pacing in from outside the palace gate.He clearly saw that his pace was extremely slow, as slow as a turtle, but in the blink of an eye, he was strangely in front of the two of them.Bai Yutang instinctively wanted to make a move, but Duan Hongxing pressed him firmly, but the three of them were so close, how could such subtle movements be hidden from Zi Jin's eyes?He suddenly squinted at Bai Yutang, his gaze was extremely dangerous.
Duan Hongxing hurriedly stood up to protect him: "Stop, he is my confidant."
Zi Jin was full of disdain, "Since you are a slave, get out of the way and don't get in the way." After saying that, he raised his hand and drove Bai Yutang aside with the wind of his sleeve.
Bai Yutang staggered pretending to be unsteady on his footing, retreated obediently to the side, but concentrated his attention on every move in front of the couch, if Duan Hongxing hadn't tried his best to signal with his eyes to be safe and not to be impatient, he might have been unable to hold back.
Duan Hong got up and said slowly, "Master Yunmeng, is it necessary to make such a big fuss every time we meet?"
"Oh? Is this accusing me of killing many of your palace servants when I broke into the palace last time?" Zi Jin didn't take it seriously, and sneered again and again, "The lord should understand that this is the price you want to see me. I won't go See anyone I don't want to see, especially the employer. Since the lord of the country forces me to show up, I have to pay the price that makes me happy." Seeing Duan Hongxing's lips and teeth move slightly, he guessed what he wanted to say, and said quickly : "But you seem to have misunderstood. Last time I did kill the people in your palace to relieve my depression, but this time I didn't kill anyone."
"But you said..."
"It's natural to put them down, right? Could it be that I have to sneak in here? Besides, if that's not the case, do you think you can speak freely like this at the moment?" Pressing Duan Hongxing's shoulder, Zi Jin turned around Sit on a soft couch.Touching the surface of the couch covered with a layer of purple cloud brocade, his brows were filled with joy, and he actually lay down on his side. "Don't worry, those people were just poisoned by my newly prepared poison. In three hours, as long as they can take the antidote in time, they can be rescued. And..." Zi Jin paused, and stretched out two fingers to point at Bai Ling You Nu Gou, Bai Shi understood, smiled and approached to serve as Zi Jin beat his legs and feet rhythmically.Zi Jin's eyes were slightly closed, showing a face of enjoyment, and then he said calmly: "This poison has another effect, after taking the antidote, you will forget everything that happened when you were poisoned. Wouldn't this be in line with the will of the country's lord?"
Duan Hongxing has no time to be annoyed by Zi Jin's wanton behavior at this moment, if it is true as Zi Jin said, he is indeed a little bit secretly happy.Because if all the watchers died, it would definitely alarm Chai Wenyi, which would be bad.Don't worry about the scheming King Chai, let alone the prince's life, even Dali may be in turmoil. This is also the reason why he refused to second Bai Yutang's disguise to leave the palace. It will keep more people safe.
"Lord Dali, do you know why I came here this time?"
"Since I invited Master Yunmeng to come, how could I not know?"
"Then you'd better know everything and say everything, otherwise..." Slowly opening a slit in the eyes, but it is so strange and charming that it makes people tremble all over.
Duan Hongxing withstood the tingling threat and tried to maintain his original composure. "Master Yunmeng should also know that until the desired result is achieved, I will not reveal a word of that secret."
"Crack!" A corner of the soft couch was snapped off.Both eyes were fully opened, and the smile was subdued. Zi Jin said with a cold face: "Do you think this matter is up to you to choose? Duan Hongxing, don't take yourself too seriously. In Dali, you may be the ruler of a country. But in my Zijin eyes, you are nothing!"
Bai Yutang peeked at Duan Hongxing, whose face was livid with anger, and muttered in his heart: Sure enough!Faced with that Zi Jin, few of them can be calm and calm, and they are already very self-control not to be mad by anger.But having said that, the gas is also white gas.In the eyes of that madman, apart from Zhan Zhao, he probably didn't regard anyone as a human being at all.
Thinking of Zhan Zhao, I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart.
Cat, where are you now?Is it okay?Do you know that my heart has been up and down all this time?I couldn't find you in Haoshan. For the sake of the overall situation, I had to choose to come to Dali first, but I didn't want to get stuck here and get tired of coping.I only hate myself for being incompetent, not being able to share your worries, and even more hating not being able to protect you well back then.So please don't have any accidents, wait for me, you must wait for me...
There were a lot of thoughts in my mind, but I was quickly attracted by the conversation between the two.There are some facts in this world that are completely unimaginable unless you have heard them with your own ears.
"Is this a threat?" Duan Hongxing lowered his already old voice, no longer returning to his original gentle state. "Actually, to show my sincerity, it's okay for me to tell the secret first. It's just that because of Master Yunmeng's deceit two years ago, Dali is now in crisis. My son Zhongyi was even taken away by the thieves back then. In such a situation, shouldn't I keep a hand for myself?"
"Deception?" Lazily raised her upper body from the soft couch, glanced at the other party's indifferent expression, Zi Jin suddenly seemed to remember something, and put her hand on her chin, and smiled foolishly. "So that's it. It seems that that kid named Chai Wenyi did a good job. He made you miserable."
The murderous intent flickered in Duan Hongxing's eyes, and he almost forcibly suppressed it, so that he didn't let it out of his voice: "You really know the real mastermind behind the 'Demon' two years ago."
"So what if you know?" Zi Jin looked around in a daze.
"Then why don't you kill him? This is not in line with our agreement."
"I don't remember any agreement we had."
Duan Hong was very angry, stepped forward and said sharply: "If you didn't ask you to find out the dark ghost behind the 'Mei' and get rid of it, why would I invite you for an interview?"
"Come here for an interview? Humph! Duan Hongxing, that sounds good. Two years ago, Dali was hit by the '魑鬼' rebellion, and you had no way to deal with it, so you asked 'Yunmenglong' to kill you secretly. This is a business that you love and I want , but you just don’t know what’s good and what’s wrong, so you found out where Ziyunmeng is and forced me to show up.” Swiping back Bai Shi and sitting up cross-legged, Zi Jin stared at the Lord of Dali in front of him with lowered eyebrows, deep eyes Occasionally throw a bit of ruthlessness. "I forgot to praise you, but you actually know that Ziyunmeng where I live is not the Yunmeng Mountain that the world is familiar with. I am very curious about this until now. How did you know?"
"During the period when I was sick, I personally sneaked into the Central Plains and visited all the places called Yunmeng Mountain, but unfortunately found nothing. With such an answer, is Master Yunmeng still satisfied?"
"Then how do you know where Ziyunmeng really is?"
"That's why I have nothing to say."
"So it turns out that you don't know anything."
Duan Hongxing's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, which made Zijin speculate more definitely. "I didn't expect that I, Zi Jin, would be fooled by you, an old bastard who made something out of nothing!"
Duan Hongxing couldn't hide it, so he sighed: "Although I deceived you, I didn't get any advantage, did I? 'Yunmenglong' is little known, and I have also added a request to investigate the mastermind behind 'Mei' , but was rejected, saying what Master Yunmeng instructed, only killing people without investigating the truth. If it wasn't for low-key handling of the civil strife in Dali and reducing unnecessary casualties, why would I go to you and others? If we can't root out the instigators behind the civil strife Besides, what qualifications do I have to be the lord of a country in Dali? But I never expected that I tried my best to beg you to agree to my unfeeling request, but in the end I still let Chai Wenyi, the source of all evil, escape and ascend to heaven. … No, it's not that Chai Wenyi is lucky, it's that your Master Yunmeng didn't want to kill him at all."
Zi Jin's face darkened slightly, and suddenly he chuckled unpredictably. "Master Duan, you are wrong."
"Where is wrong?"
"Although I don't like your way of forcing me to meet, I've already killed a bunch of palace officials to vent my anger, and I'll let out all my anger. Besides, it's also a murder business, so it's a bit troublesome to turn a corner. If I agree with you, I will investigate to the end for you to avoid future troubles."
"Then why did you change your mind?...Could it be...Chai Wenyi found out? You made another deal with him?"
"Duan Hongxing, don't confuse my 'Yunmenglong' with an organization like 'Mei'. Besides, no matter how clever Chai Wenyi was, he couldn't have made the plan seamless when he was only seventeen. To find out the existence of 'Yunmenglong'? I have my own reasons for not killing him. As for what it is, I don't need to tell you, do I?"
"you!"
"I advise you not to ask the bottom line. Because knowing the answer is not good for you
