Omi had to sit up

At night, in a back bedroom in the backyard of Yushitai, the window sill is bright and the candlelight is flickering, reflecting several dark shadows in the room.

Some stood quietly, some stood bowed, and some sat hunched on the floor.

"Hehehehe... Xie Zhen." The man sitting on the ground was hunched over, looking up at the figure in front of him in embarrassment, laughing a few times, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, "You are here."

The figure he was looking at was dressed in a dark black gown and a black fur coat. His silver crown gave off a cold light, his long hair was half tied and half draped, and the hair on the sideburns was hanging on the edge of the black fur, revealing a pair of cold eyes.

"Yan Jitang," he said.

The night is cold, and the candlelight casts light on the people in the room.The person on the ground was about seventy years old, with a haggard complexion and an old appearance. He was the assistant minister of the court—Yan Jitang, the imperial censor.

Since Xie came to power, the three auxiliary ministers have been in charge of the government.But Qi Yanchu died of illness a year ago; four months ago, he defended his cadre and conspired against him, and died suddenly. The new emperor eliminated the two auxiliary ministers within three years. It is the direct control of the entire administrative order, and the power and status are incomparable.

And now, Yan Jitang of Yushitai became the last important minister left by the late emperor.

Xie Zhen only said his name, but don't have any background.The person next to him heard the words, but he stood in front of Yan Jitang with a tray.

On the tray was a piece of long white silk.

Yan Jitang's eyes were firmly focused on the white silk for an instant, his face changed slightly, his chest heaved sharply, and he coughed loudly: "What is the meaning of the emperor? You want to deal with veterans? The purpose of Yushitai was to Supervising the government, supervising the imperial power, I, Yan Jitang, behaved upright, and if you attack me, Yan Jitang, aren't you afraid of the records of later generations and the rumors of the world?"

Xie Zhen listened to his cough, but didn't answer, just stood coldly.

Seeing this, the black shadow brought the tray directly on the ground, took the white silk, walked to Yan Jitang and wrapped it around his neck.

"Get out! Get out of here!" Yan Jitang struggled immediately when he saw this, but he couldn't resist the people Xie Zhen brought over, and was soon pushed to the ground again.

The cold moon shines alone, Yushitai is silent, several roads are blocked by black shadows, no outsider can enter the backyard, and no outsider can hear Yan Jitang's roar.

Bai Ling quickly wrapped her arms around Yan Jitang's neck.Yan Jitang's chest was pressed to the ground and heaved violently. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xie Zhen fiercely: "Xie Zhen, I didn't expect that Lin Chenshu would take you through the child-mother gu, count me as a bad move. But Lin Chenshu Chen Shu can help you avoid temporary disasters, but can you escape from him forever?"

Hearing Lin Chenshu's name, Xie Zhen's eyes finally cleared, his expression became colder and colder, the black lined his face sternly, and the iciness of cold snow seeped into his bones.

Seeing Zhen's appearance, Yan Jitang laughed and coughed, with a weird smile on his face.

But not long after he smiled, Xie Zhen's silent voice suddenly sounded, and it was extremely cold in the room: "Yan Jitang, I have been thinking, even if you get rid of me and Fang Shouqian with your body, how much can you enjoy the world?" Years? I wanted to keep you until the end of your life, but unfortunately I heard from Qin Lengfeng that you seem to want to live, and you are looking for Tian Xingzang and Wei Yunqi..."

Yan Jitang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slowly, and narrowed his eyes nervously.

Xie Zhen looked at Yan Jitang, but suddenly laughed, with a cold smile on his face: "You insisted on supporting Mu Heng at Yushitai, presumably because you wanted him to do something? Yushi Zhongcheng, I am afraid that he will succeed you in the future. Is your favorite student still related by blood, or is there a layer of secrets that cannot be revealed to outsiders?"

As soon as Mu Heng's name came out, Yan Jitang's face tensed instantly, and he stared at Xie Zhen closely.

"Bring him up." Xie Zhen smiled.

The door of the room was opened again, and a young man in imperial censor's uniform was pushed in by the shadow, and soon staggered and fell to the ground.With a cloth stuffed in his mouth, when he saw the white silk around Xie Zhen and Yan Jitang's necks, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he struggled sobbingly.

The person next to him brought up another white silk.

"Xie Zhen, you..." Yan Jitang watched as someone dragged Mu Heng up from the ground and also wrapped a white silk around his neck. What happened to this old man, even if this old man has a rift with you, what does it have to do with Mu Heng?"

Xie Zhen didn't say a word, just quietly watched his subordinates hoist Mu Heng into the air.

The young man's body kept twisting and kicking in the air, and after a while it gradually calmed down, leaving only the creaking sound from the beam.When Yan Jitang looked over, he saw Mu Heng with his head down, tears streaming down his face, falling drop by drop.

The old censor Zhongcheng rolled his eyes at the lacrimal glands, and the whites of his eyes were facing Yan Jitang.

"Ah... ah!" Yan Jitang struggled on the ground again, completely terrified.

"Send him a ride." Xie Zhen said.

The black shadow beside Yan Jitang immediately took the order, grabbed the crossed white silk tightly, and pulled it out.Yan Jitang was pulled so hard that his face flushed immediately, his tongue turned out, and only his hands were left holding on to the silk cloth desperately.

He looked unwillingly at the corpse floating on the beam in front of him, and at the emperor Qiupao standing in front of him. He was neither happy nor angry, with no expression on his face, witnessing the whole process of death.

There was a light cracking sound from Yan Jitang's neck bone, his ferocious expression finally eased, and his body collapsed to one side.

Yan Jitang also died.

After confirming Yan Jitang's death, Hei Ying took Bai Ling again and hung his body on the beam.

There was a wind blowing outside the door, causing the two corpses in the room to sway under the candlelight.

Yan Jitang, Fang Shouqian, and Qi Yanchu, the three auxiliary ministers who supported Xie Zhen as a puppet, have since become the past.

Xie Zhen looked at it calmly, frowned, turned and walked out of the room.

The moonlight was cold, shining on the garden in the backyard of Yushitai.Xie Zhen walked through the garden alone, the black fur on his collar was blown by the cold wind, and flew lightly on his cheeks.

He paused, then suddenly raised his head to look at Mingyue.

Just when he was in a daze, a black shadow passed by him and landed a foot away from him, slowly revealing the silhouette of a person by the moonlight.

"Your Majesty, the villa has detected the whereabouts of Wei Yunyi." The man who came was a 40-year-old man, He Wence from Changhe Villa, and he reported, "After Wei Yunyi left Beijing, he traveled around various counties. Head north. Someone once said that he was seen in the market outside the pass."

"He's in Saibei?" Xie Zhen asked.

"Yes." He Wence said, "Bei Sai is Di Yi's territory, if it sneaks into the enemy's country, I'm afraid it will not be optimistic."

Di Yi is a neighboring country of the Li Dynasty. One year ago, it suddenly invaded the Li Dynasty.Xie Zhen allocated the Saibei Army to meet the enemy and poured all the power of the treasury to support the Northern Army. During the period, because of Qi Yanchu's case, there were many twists and turns. Later, the military funds were found out, and he was successfully sent to the Saibei Army, which greatly increased the morale of the Northern Army. They fought for three months. Finally, Di Yi was driven out of the border, and the border was kept stable, and the inner city was peaceful.

"Even in Diyi, we need to find out." Xie Zhen said, "Master He, you send a few smart people to Diyi to wait for the opportunity."

"Yes." He Wence nodded and said, "The subordinates will send someone to make arrangements."

Xie Zhen responded, but his eyes fell on the flowerbed under the moonlight.

Although the people in Yushitai are filthy, the flowers are still budding under the moon, and there is a faint fragrance in the garden, lingering in people's hearts.

"... Has his black iron been sent back?" Xie Zhen asked suddenly.

He Wence was taken aback, and slowly realized who "he" was referring to, and quickly reported: "Mr. Lin has already accepted the black iron embryo."

Lin Chenshu used to use black iron embryos as weapons, but the weapon disappeared after an accident, and he didn't know where it was.But recently, when Fang Shougan's house was seized and blocked, someone found a long heavy object wrapped in cloth strips from one of the guest rooms and recorded it in the report. Only then did the black iron embryo be discovered and passed into Xie Zhen's hands .

At this time, it had been more than three months since Tian Xingzang returned to Beijing.

"Did he say anything?" Xie Zhen asked again.

He Wence ran into a problem, he thought for a while and said: "When I sent the black iron embryo, the emperor's edict arrived, so he also took the black iron embryo and the edict, without saying anything, just said' Thank you Majesty Ron'."

"..."

Xie Zhen looked away from the flowers, and after a while, silently walked towards the palace.

The candlelight in Yushitai's room was extinguished, and the shadows retreated one by one. Although the flowers in the flower garden were beautiful, they were dead because of the corpse in the room.

There is a spacious house in the private house in the southern suburbs of the capital.Because the original owner owed a debt to the gambling house, the house was mortgaged and sold in Beijing. After half a month, a young man with a clear face came to the house and bought the land deed and the house.

The procedures at the yamen were done very quickly, and the young man soon moved into the house, and there was a soft-looking man with him.The two of them occupy half of the yard, keeping the house in good order.

But at this time, on the open space in the house, a young man with a clear face was waving the knife in his hand, sometimes jumping up and down, sometimes flying kicks and sometimes slashing horizontally, with great momentum and great force.

Someone nearby is applauding.

"Okay! What a sweeping army!"

"Oh! Yang Wu, your trick of flattening the sand and falling the geese is not bad!"

"Brother Wu, you are amazing! But you have been practicing for so long, do you want to take a break?"

"..."

The young man with clear features was none other than Ting Wei's yamen servant, Yang Wu. At this time, he felt a little tired when he heard the woman next to him, so he put away his knife and went to the crowd watching.

In the crowd, someone kowtowed melon seeds and said: "I said Yang Wu, with your ability, I think you will be fine in martial arts this time. Ni Jin and I are about the same level as you, and both were Scholars back then. Woolen cloth."

The person who spoke was Shao Yuping, the left supervisor of Tingwei, and beside him, Ni Jin, the right supervisor of Tingwei, also nodded and said: "Yes, Yang Wu, you are too talented to be a yamen servant in our Tingwei. Stretch your fists."

The woman next to him, Jing Chu, didn't speak, but just fetched a basin of clear water, and brought it to Yang Wu with a smile.

Yang Wu thanked him, picked up a cloth and wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "I'm ashamed of what you said. In fact, I'm just kung fu with fists, feet and cats. Compared with Mr. Lin, I'm still a world apart. "

The Lord Lin in Yang Wu's mouth must be Lin Chenshu.

In the case of Fang Shougan's rebellion, Lin Chenshu single-handedly broke through the soldiers and horses of the former prime minister, broke a bloody path for the Nanfeng defenders, and successfully rescued the palace change. This is obvious to all.The three of Tingwei were shocked for a long time when they saw Lin Chenshu crucifying the enemy general with a single shot.

This kind of skill is probably incomparable to all the people present.

"Damn!" Shao Yuping slapped his thigh and said, "Master Shaoqing is right next to you, Yang Wu, isn't this the right time to ask for advice!"

"That's right, with Master Shaoqing's advice, maybe it will be the icing on the cake in this martial arts competition." Ni Jin said.

All the people present felt that what was said was reasonable, and they all looked at their lord Shaoqing, but beside them, the good-looking Ting Wei Shaoqing was sitting on a stool, with his eyebrows slightly drooping, and his eyes were looking straight ahead. The ground looked quiet and did not make a sound.

The three Tingwei and Jing Chu looked at each other in blank dismay.

Master Lin was in a daze again.

Since Lin Chenshu returned to the capital safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Later, Yang Wu decided to buy a house in the capital, Lin Chenshu also invested a little money, moved out from the original Lin Mansion, and brought Jing Chu and Yang Wu to live in the same courtyard.

Shao Yuping and Ni Jin occasionally went to Yang Wu's house to play, and naturally saw Lin Chenshu.It’s just that Lin Chenshu’s mental state is much worse than before. He seems to be fine, and he will talk to you with a smile when talking to him, but when Lin Chenshu is alone, he is always in a daze , there is a feeling of absent-mindedness.

"Brother Shu, Brother Shu." Seeing this, Jing Chu called first.

Someone is calling him.Chen Shu was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the person next to him.

...That's right, he almost forgot that today he came to watch Yang Wu practice martial arts.

Chen Shu thought to himself, cheered up, but heard Shao Yuping next to him say: "Master Lin, Yang Wu is going to take the imperial examination soon, you are so good at martial arts, give us guidance!"

"Yes, Master Lin, I also want to learn something from you." Ni Jin nodded beside him.

Chen Shu was taken aback again, and when he turned his eyes to Yang Wu, he saw Yang Wu's face pecking at the rice.

Chen Shu: "..."

His martial arts are powerful, but that is the power of Changming, he just uses it ready-made, how can he have any experience.

Chen Shu was immediately awkward on the spot, but when he saw the thirsty eyes of the three of Tingwei, he held back his refusal.

Would you like to say a few words casually?

"The only thing that can't be broken in martial arts is fast?" Chen Shu thought about it, and asked tentatively.

Shao Yuping: "..."

Ni Jin: "..."

Yang Wu: "..."

This seems to be the foundation that everyone in the rivers and lakes knows.

There was silence in the air, and the three of Ting Wei began to look at each other.

After a while—

Shao Yuping slapped his thigh: "That's right, Mr. Lin is right!"

Ni Jin said seriously: "Yes, yes, yes, it makes sense!"

Yang Wu originally looked embarrassed, but when he saw the reaction of the two people beside him, he immediately nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, such a simple truth, I never thought of it before!"

Chen Shu: "..."
