[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Lin Yuzhou led Lin Cong and Tang Chengzu up the Luo River in a small boat. As the river gradually narrowed, the population gradually became less and less. When he looked up, the tall mountain of Mingyue Mountain came into view.

The water became turbulent, and the three of Lin Yuzhou abandoned their boat and boarded the case, and walked up the mountain path.

The mountain road is rugged, but fortunately, the hunters in the mountain will regularly cut down the weeds and trees that grow on the mountain road, so this road is not bad.The three of Lin Yuzhou walked for a while, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they stopped.

The wall blade Qianli was talking about the situation in front of him, right?Lin Yuzhou was deeply moved by the magnificent scenery in front of him. After being cut by the Luo River, the entire mountain of Mingyue Mountain was divided, forming a scene of deep ravines. It is suspected to be the beauty of the Milky Way Falling Nine Heavens.

The valley was deep and the vegetation was luxuriant, and the calls of various animals could be heard from time to time. The three of them rested for a while before continuing to move forward.The further you go to the mountains, the more animals there are in the forest. The three of Lin Yuzhou occasionally meet a few energetic little monkeys, which are jumping on the branches in the forest, looking at them curiously.

"My lord." Tang Chengzu took out the map from his arms and spread it out with both hands: "This is the Mincheng Iron Mine. It was discovered by the previous dynasty. It has been mined for more than [-] years. , this iron mine was mined more than ten years ago, and now it is an abandoned mine.”

Lin Yuzhou took the map over, looked at it carefully and asked, "How long will it take to get here?"

Tang Chengzu glanced at the road in front of him and replied: "According to the map, it should be soon. There is a chain bridge at the entrance of the valley in front, named Prison Crossing. Pass it, and walk a little further to the place where the abandoned mine is located. "

Lin Yuzhou returned the map to Tang Chengzu, "Go on."

Tang Chengzu and Lin Cong followed Lin Yuzhou's pace.

Lin Yuzhou handed over the investigation of Chen Lanen to Ji Geng, Fu Jue assisted, and Tang Chengzu was the most physically fit among the remaining civil servants, so he brought Tang Chengzu and Lin Cong to investigate the mines of Mingyue Mountain. Ruan Mingyi stared at him.

The three of them walked not slowly, following the path stepped on by the mountain people, they soon arrived at the prison crossing that Tang Chengzu mentioned.

Prison Ferry is a deep rift valley with steep cliffs on both sides and many vines growing. The middle of the rift valley is connected by a two-foot-wide iron chain bridge, but the chain of the iron chain bridge is broken now.

"That's not right." Tang Chengzu moved to the head of the chain bridge and stared at the iron pile with half of the chain on it, "Master, this chain doesn't look like it's broken due to disrepair and rust, but rather..."

"It was chopped off." Lin Cong said.

"Yes." Tang Chengzu stood up, frowning: "This chain bridge is broken, we can't cross it, who did it? On purpose or not?"

Lin Yuzhou stood on the edge of the rift valley and looked at the opposite mountain forest. The mountain wind caressed his clothes, making him feel a bit chillier.

Lin Cong threw the broken chain aside and said angrily, "Brother, some people don't want us to go there. There must be something shady on the other side."

Tang Chengzu agreed: "Looking at the gap in the iron chain, it should have been cut off recently. I'm afraid it was done by bandits, but I don't know if they cut the chain to prevent the imperial court from encircling and suppressing us, or to prevent us."

Lin Yuzhou looked at Tang Chengzu and asked, "Are there a lot of bandits around Mincheng?"

"Brother Li and I checked the archives of Mincheng. In recent years, there have been several bandits hidden in the area of ​​Mingyue Mountain. The commander of Mincheng City has arranged many encirclement and suppression campaigns, with little success. These bandits often plunder the surrounding villages. I never thought of Min Cheng."

Lin Yuzhou asked again: "Is there any alien life in Mingyue Mountain?"

Tang Chengzu nodded: "According to geographical records, there are some Yue people living here. It is said that they are descendants of Chi You, but they live in the depths of Mingyue Mountain. deal."

Lin Yuzhou thought about it secretly, and temporarily put aside the matter of the Yue nationality. He visually measured the width of the rift, and then turned to Tang Chengzu: "Are you afraid of heights?"

Tang Chengzu frowned: "What do you mean, my lord?"

Lin Yuzhou smiled, grabbed Tang Chengzu's shoulders, and flew him towards the opposite side of the rift valley, followed by Lin Cong.

People can't cry out when they are overly frightened. Tang Chengzu was in this situation. After he landed, his face was flushed, and he was holding his chest that was beating too violently, panting heavily.

After crossing the iron bridge, the road was much easier to walk. After Tang Chengzu recovered, Lin Yuzhou led him to continue walking, and soon the three of them discovered something unusual.

"Brother, the mountain road here has been cleared, and there are traces of people's activities, and there are many people." Lin Cong squatted on the ground and pulled the grass and said.

Tang Chengzu also approached, and he expressed his opinion: "Could it be that this is the stronghold of bandits."

"Maybe, look, there are horseshoe marks and some kind of animal excrement here." After Lin Cong finished speaking, Tang Chengzu took several steps back. He is a fastidious scholar, and the excrement had a big impact on him.

Lin Cong clapped his hands and stood up, looked at Lin Yuzhou and said, "Brother, I don't know what's going on ahead. Mr. Tang doesn't know martial arts, so why don't I go investigate alone?"

Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows, and pushed Tang Chengzu to Lin Cong's side: "Wait for me here, I'll go over."

"My lord." Just as Tang Chengzu wanted to stop him, he recalled Lin Yuzhou flying him across the rift and closed his mouth.

Lin Cong nodded: "I will definitely take care of Master Tang."

Lin Yuzhou smiled, mobilized his internal energy, and quickly disappeared in front of the two of them.

Tang Chengzu swallowed, and looked at Lin Cong with suspicious eyes: "Where did your eldest brother learn martial arts? It's so powerful!"

Lin Cong replied proudly: "My brother created it himself, he is a god."

Tang Chengzu somehow felt that Lin Cong was telling the truth.

This part of Mingyue Mountain is completely different from the previous part. If the scenery of the mountains and forests on the prison crossing is beautiful, then the mountains and forests on this side are overgrown with weeds. Lin Yuzhou hurried for a long time, but did not find a single animal. This can only explain one situation. The animals around sensed the danger and all migrated.

Recalling the route on the map in his mind, Lin Yuzhou's figure flashed past. Just as he was about to reach his destination, he found deep ruts on the ground and heard human voices.

Lin Yuzhou stopped, and he controlled his body shape and breathing, allowing his breath to gradually blend into the surrounding environment.

"Hurry up, load these goods into the truck and enter the city today." It was a big man with bare breasts who was blushing and holding a whip in his hand.

"Boss Xiong, is it okay for us to enter the city with our identities?" The person who asked this question was a thin man with a small nose and eyes, and one big front tooth.

Boss Xiong waved his hand: "As long as the cargo is safe, we will be safe. After boarding the ship the day after tomorrow, the brothers will go with me to Dongying to eat delicious and spicy food. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. No one can stop us."

The toothless man looked confused: "But Boss, how about we, Ji Guo, in Dongying Kingdom?"

"What do you know?" Boss Xiong stared, and he waved the whip in his hand: "Here we can only be bandits, surrounded by the court every day, and we will lose our lives if we are not careful. It will be different when we get there. = The Japanese gave me a promise that when I go there, I will be a general, and with our ability, we may still be able to make such a big name, and when we come back from the counterattack, it may be that the emperor of Ji Kingdom will be replaced."

"What Boss Xiong said is that with the immortal ointment in hand, the road ahead is open." The toothless man approached Boss Xiong with a pipe, lit the pipe for him, and said in a low voice: "The Second Wolf's family of six Died at the hands of the Japanese, you have been cooperating with the Japanese and have been hiding it from him, but now you can't hide it, how do you think you want to arrange him?"

Boss Xiong spat, bared his teeth, and said, "Lang Er and his gang of brothers are very hostile to Japanese people, and they will cause bad things. The so-called non-toxic and not husband, don't blame me for being cruel, come here..." Boss Xiong whispered a few words in the ear of the toothless man.

"After this matter is done, you will be the second in charge in the future."

"Thank you, Boss!" The toothless man ran away cheerfully, not noticing the dark look in Boss Xiong's eyes.

After Lin Yuzhou witnessed a bandit strife, he quickly checked the abandoned iron mine. He found that this iron mine still had great mining value, and he didn't know which Mincheng official gave it up. The transformation of the bandits into a stronghold is solid, and it can also provide them with high-quality iron ore, which is really a good gift for the enemy.

Lin Yuzhou showed his body, walked to the wooden box containing the goods, lifted the lid of the box, and saw the neatly stacked weapons inside. These knives, bows, swords and halberds gleamed coldly, and they were high-quality goods at first glance.

A stern look flashed in his eyes, he changed a box and opened it, and found that there were many small porcelain jars stacked in this box, opened the small porcelain jars, and found that it was filled with the mysterious ointment he had seen in Xunhuanlou before.

Fairy ointment?Lin Yuzhou was leaning against the wooden box, with a dangerous smile on his lips, a group of desperadoes who had no bottom line, killing them would be a way of doing justice for the heavens, right?

The sound of a sharp knife being unsheathed came from his ear, and Lin Yuzhou moved his fingers.

"who are you?"

The sound of more than 20 footsteps came from far and near. These people held up knives and surrounded Lin Yuzhou tightly.

Lin Yuzhou turned around, with a gentle smile on his face, like a fairy descending from the earth, "I, the one who sent you on your way!"

51

The mountain was filled with the smell of blood, and Lin Yuzhou looked like a ghost. He flashed past among the bandits, who fell to the ground before they could make any sound.

The leaf between his fingers was blood-stained red, Lin Yuzhou threw it away, and turned to look at the last bandit.

"Who are you?" Boss Xiong asked in horror, covering his arms. His whip was cut off by Lin Yuzhou with leaves, his knife was taken away by Lin Yuzhou, and his arm was cut by him. He is the boss of a group of bandits, but he looks like a girl from a good family who has been bullied, "Don't come here, are you a human or a ghost?"

"It is impossible that there are no women in the cottage." Lin Yuzhou squatted in front of Boss Xiong and asked with a smile: "How many people do you have in total? Where are the other strongholds? What kind of cooperation do you have with the pirates?"

Boss Xiong ran away from Lin Yuzhou with his legs rolling and crawling, hoping to get as far away from him as possible, "I...I don't..."

"Think it through." Lin Yuzhou stood up and clapped his hands.

Boss Xiong said with a pale face: "I said, can you spare me? Just spare my life, and I will say anything."

"Tsk!" Lin Yuzhou pulled a blade of grass, "Forget it, let's give them some opportunities. Suppressing bandits is a rare experience, and it's very training." After saying that, the blade of grass quickly flew towards Boss Xiong, piercing his throat And pass.

After dealing with the last person, Lin Yuzhou gathered all the bandits' weapons and destroyed the so-called fairy creams together. He speculated that there should be a place for cherry processing in Mingyue Mountain, and maybe there is a place dedicated to planting cherry Time is a little tight, it's time for the twelve imperial guards to try their skills.

The houses and buildings in the abandoned mine stronghold were set ablaze by Lin Yuzhou, and he turned and left when the fire gradually extinguished.

When Lin Yuzhou returned to the place where he was separated from Lin Cong, he found that there had also been a vicious fight here. Tang Chengzu was squatting on one side covered in blood, and a bandit tied up with a belt fell under his feet. The corpses of the bandits were pulled aside and piled up, and two people in foreign costumes were helping.

"Brother, these bandits chased and killed these two people, and I helped them. The one who is tied up is the leader of this group of bandits, who is he called?" Lin Cong was stumped for a moment, unable to remember.

"Wolf Two." Tang Chengzu added in a muffled voice, today's Cao Yu almost broke him, too many dead people, his mind is chaotic.

Lin Yuzhou saw that Tang Chengzu's expression was wrong, and said, "Let's go back to the city and take them all back."

What happened in Mincheng, Ji Shengyan didn't know for a while, but Ji Zhao finally returned to the capital, and his plan was about to start.

In the main hall of the East Palace, Ji Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth. He suspected that he had auditory hallucinations. What did Ji Shengyan just say?Let him pretend to be the prince and stay in the East Palace for five days, are you sure this is not a joke?

"Second brother, your status is respected. I pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now. Please don't mention it again in the future."

Ji Shengyan sat on the prince's seat with his forehead propped up, and he said coldly: "You should be able to guess the reason why Gu said this to you. This is a challenge and a test. Do you dare to accept it?"

Ji Zhao frowned tightly, and he looked at Ji Shengyan puzzled, for the sake of a man, he would not marry for life, nor would he have children, and even made the decision to pass the throne to... Is it really worth it?

"You don't have much time to think, and Gu has no patience." Ji Shengyan sat up, stared into Ji Zhao's eyes and said coldly: "You will only be given one chance."

Ji Zhao's mood was complicated, his mind was like a muddy paste, sticky and sticky, there was no room for thinking at all.

"He promised, I promise for him." A woman's voice came.Ji Shengyan looked up and saw Lu Shengrong leading Concubine Ning in a cloak into the main hall.

Concubine Ning pulled down her veil and said to Ji Shengyan: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely urge Zhao'er to complete your mission." Her eyes were sharp and her temperament was strong. This was the first time she had exposed her ambition in front of everyone.

Ji Zhao was startled: "Concubine mother?"

Concubine Ning said in a deep voice, "Shut up."

Ji Shengyan knocked on the armrest, and said coldly: "You are more suitable for this position than him."

Ji Zhao was horrified: "Second brother?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is absurd, but it's a pity that I am a woman. Even if I sit in that position, I will be constrained everywhere. It's better to train my son well." Concubine Ning looked at Ji Zhao and said warmly: "Train him better, Even stronger, I can fulfill my wish."

"Mother... concubine?" Ji Zhao said dumbly, the mother and concubine in his impression had always been peaceful and far-reaching, but this one in front of him, tranquil?Zhiyuan?Does he really know his own mother?

Ji Shengyan was not in charge of mediating the conflict between mother and child. He asked Lu Shengrong to bring up the plan he had drawn up, and said to Ji Zhao: "This is what you need to do. Within five days, except for the Ministry of Officials, the other five departments will be in charge. Send it to the East Palace as usual, and you will approve and dispatch it, and if there is any trouble, you will solve it yourself, can you do it?"

Ji Zhao glanced at Concubine Ning, put away his mixed thoughts, and said solemnly: "My brother understands."

Ji Shengyan hummed lightly, waved his hand and said, "Let's go when you understand, Lu Shengrong sees off the guests."

Ji Shengyan's order to chase away guests was issued, and Ji Zhao and Concubine Ning left wisely. They walked towards the Xianning Palace one after the other. Looking at the atmosphere between the two, there must be a very profound relationship between them. conversation.

On the second day, the news that the fourth prince Ji Zhao was ill spread throughout the capital in an instant. Emperor Jialong specially sent an imperial doctor to go to see him after learning about it. After learning that Ji Zhao's illness was not serious, he should not see him for half a month. After the wind, he was relieved, and he sent some tonics over, and at the same time warned the court officials not to disturb the fourth prince if there was nothing to do.

After Ji Zhao disguised himself and sat on the crown prince of the East Palace, Ji Shengyan changed his costume and flew towards Minzhou alone.

As one of the gods with the highest status in the small world, Tiandao treats Ji Shengyan very well. Except that he cannot use the ability of the reincarnation world, Ziwei Xingjun's ability can be used casually. Of course, it is definitely not allowed to use it for harm.

Bearing the title of Immortal Ziwei, mortals and city gods dare not offend him. Ji Shengyan also used the convenience of his status to fly to Mincheng, where Lin Yuzhou is located.

Min City has been very lively recently, and Min Qinhuai has sealed off several romantic places, among which the Xunhuan Building, which has the largest backing, has also been sealed up.According to gossip, these sealed Fengyue venues will provide guests with something called fairy paste, which is similar to hibiscus paste, and it is not a good thing anyway.

People in Mincheng are praising Longjiang, the chief minister of the right, saying that he knows everything, and Longjiang has lived up to everyone's expectations. He sent people to find out the fairy ointment, and a lot of it has been burned.

Moreover, because the chief envoy promulgated a notice that there will be rewards for reporting, all the people in Mincheng have become "catch the fast". Among them, the most caught are local hooligans, as well as small country gentlemen and small landlords.

"Are these people crazy?" Ji Geng was furious after reading the statistical data: "Are all the officials of Mincheng full of wine and food? The immortal ointment has been raging for nearly three years, and they didn't notice it at all. If we didn't find out It's too early, if this thing spreads, it will make the entire southeast sea area incapable of fighting!"

"It's not just southeast?" Liu Ju stayed in the Imperial Academy for a long time and knew a lot of things. He patted the map on the table and said, "This thing can destroy people's morale. If the whole people take it, the soul of a country will be wiped out." , the tragedy of destroying the country may happen, the officials checked the main material of this thing, and found that the main material is the same as the main material of Wuxiang, which is cherry element."

"What is Wuxiang?" Ji Geng asked.

Fu Jue also looked at Liu Ju, apparently he didn't know about it either.

"Wuxiang is a gift from small countries like Siam and Java. Every year, two hundred catties will be paid to His Majesty. It is not surprising that His Majesty the Tenth Highness does not know. This thing is precious, and His Majesty never rewards anyone."

Ji Geng's face changed: "Father has smoked this black incense?"

Liu Ju hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, don't worry, the poison of Wuxiang is less than [-]% of that of Shenxian Ointment, and the amount of cherry in it is lower than that in Mabosan. As long as you don't take too much, you won't be poisoned." .”

"That won't work either! Is two hundred catties a small amount? I don't know how many years my father has used it." Ji Geng's head was about to explode. He had already seen people addicted to immortal ointment. If it becomes like that, the Ji Dynasty will be in danger.

"Your Highness, please be at ease." Fu Jue's voice was cold, with a soothing magic power, "Your Highness, don't underestimate the ability of imperial physicians. Your Majesty has not been poisoned after smoking black incense for many years. Presumably, the imperial physicians have found restraint. its way."

Liu Ju hurriedly echoed: "That's the reason, Your Highness, don't worry, we'll talk about everything when we return to Beijing." After Ji Geng learned martial arts, his destructive power soared, and Liu Ju was really afraid that he would destroy the room in a fit of anger.

Ji Geng kept his composure, and felt that what Fu Jue said was right, it was useless to think about it now, and he couldn't go back, but when he returned to Beijing, he would definitely tell his second brother about it. Be wary of them.

"Speaking of which, is Miss Shuang's injury better?" Liu Ju changed the subject upon seeing this.

Fu Jue shook his head: "Her right leg is broken, even if it recovers, she will be disabled."

"So serious?" Ji Geng was distracted. He shook his head and sighed, "The two Yue people brought back by Lin Cong came to look for this Shuang Feitian girl, right? I heard that she is still the saint of their clan, but it's a pity." He was taken away by bandits, and finally fell into this dusty place."

Liu Ju was also quite heartbroken: "Miss Shuang dances superbly. She is the descendant of the sacrifice dance of the Yue nationality. It is a pity that she can no longer dance if her leg is broken. I heard that the two women who helped her escape It's also a poor person, if they didn't let Yuzhou notice Miss Shuang, she would have died under the whip of the old bustard of Xun Huan Lou."

"Speaking of which, these two can be regarded as Yuzhou's 'confidantes'. After they were brought out, they were still looking forward to having a 'spring breeze' with Yuzhou." Just as Ji Geng finished speaking, he felt a cold aura attacking him. Come on, his hairs are going straight.

"What confidante?" Ji Shengyan's voice suddenly appeared.

Ji Geng coughed twice violently, he raised his head and looked outside the door, a figure gradually became clear.

Ji Shengyan's lingering eyes fixed on Ji Geng's face: "What is the spring breeze once?"

Ji Geng twitched the corners of his mouth, all the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out, Master sister-in-law, I'm sorry, he seems to have done something bad.
