September is full of flowers

After passing through the three gates of the palace, Shen Man and the three of them came to a place where the eyes were open and the marble paved flat ground.Behind this open land, there are triple grand palaces.The main hall is directly opposite, and the side halls are lined up along the side of the main hall.

The emperor has not been here for a long time, and it took people's energy to build such a huge building complex. It is said that every stone and brick here is mined and transported here from the foot of the mountain. public grievances.If Taige hadn't come forward to exempt this place from taxes for three years, otherwise there might be a force here that would threaten the fate of the Dafeng Dynasty.

Shen Man looked around for a week, but he didn't dare to make too much movement. He saw flags fluttering everywhere, soldiers wearing brightly polished armor, with big knives on their waists, and the generals who rode back and forth on horseback had blazing eyes, which made people fearful.

Looking up at the surrounding high houses and towers, there are several straight figures with arrows on their backs, and the bows in their hands can pierce through the clouds at any time.

Eight thousand down the mountain, two thousand up the mountain?rebel?

Shen Man couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, feeling terrified.If he had listened to Ning Tao's advice and rebelled recklessly at the beginning, if he hadn't made a move yet, he would have become a turtle in a urn, shot into a hedgehog and killed in battle, making people laugh forever.

Ning Tao rubbed his nose, really wanting to know what she was thinking.He coughed lightly, "What are you afraid of? As long as the [-] elite soldiers staying in the capital don't come, and then block the connection between the mountain and the mountain, it will be easy to solve the two thousand imperial guards."

Shen Man snorted through his nose, "Speak out loud."

Ning Tao's eyes lit up, "Aren't you brazen, you'll know if you try it, how about young master, do you want to try it?"

Shen Man trembled, and asked, "Could you have arranged something with Doctor Yun?"

Ning Tao pretended to look up to check the weather, intending to play tricks to the end.

Shen Man turned her head and glared at Yun Tiangang, she finally understood that this group of people are bullying and afraid of being tough, the more polite she is, the less polite they are, and now they have done some tricks without telling her, is she really a persimmon?

In addition to the righteousness of master and servant to Shen Man, Yun Tiangang also loves his niece.Seeing Shen Man glaring at him angrily, he said helplessly, "Young master, my subordinates and Mr. Ning just wanted to protect the safety of the young master, so they called the nearby disciples without authorization..."

Shen Man raised his forehead, "How many people?" They were only temporary disciples, so there shouldn't be many people, at least less than fifty, and she could still escape unscathed.

Yun Tiangang said easily, "Not many, five hundred."

"Ah?!" Shen Man thought he had heard it wrong, so he picked out his ears and asked again, "How much?"

Yun Tiangang thought it was true and leaned into Shen Man's ear, and said softly, "Young master, five hundred disciples have gathered now. Since the number is a bit large, only ten trustworthy people are allowed to come up the mountain, and the rest are gathered at the foot of the mountain to watch. "

"What are you watching?" Shen Man had a bad premonition in her heart, she just felt that these people were not here to protect her, but to capture her alive.When the time comes, if you go down the mountain, won't you be surrounded by people, watching yourself like watching monkeys on the street?

Shen Man had a headache.

Ning Tao watched coldly from the sidelines, "How about it, young master, have you experienced the taste of power?"

Shen Man glared at him, and smiled wryly, "Am I unable to escape?"

Ning Tao shook his sleeves, and said casually, "Even if you escape, I still have the ability to catch you back, you can see for yourself."

Shen Man felt aggrieved.

Ning Tao raised his eyebrows, "I really don't understand why you insist on not accepting the reality of being the young master of the Five Elements Gate. In my opinion, instead of hiding around all day and worrying about being discovered, it is better to simply enter the Five Elements Gate , be the young master dignifiedly. When the time comes, they will listen to you. If you don’t want to take care of it yourself, you can hand it over to Yun Tiangang or someone else, and it’s okay to treat yourself as a mascot to keep the house calm.”

Shen Man's lips moved, but he didn't reply.

Ning Tao said with a cold face, "You are because of her, right?"

Shen Man trembled and looked at him with eyes full of surprise, just like a frightened little white rabbit.

Ning Tao looked indifferent, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the gate supervisor treats you differently. You treat the gate supervisor also very differently. But don't worry, the gate supervisor has a good relationship with my sister and has no enmity with me. I won't expose it."

Shen Man swallowed his saliva, neither nodded nor thanked.

They walked to the northeast of the place of offering sacrifices to heaven, and blocked two rows of soldiers with halberds in front of them, blocking the ordinary people who were watching the ceremony at the outermost.In the distance, several tents were divided, and refreshments, melons and fruits were placed inside the tents.It must have been a place where the royal family and ministers attended.

Ning Tao stood beside Shen Man with a smile, pointed to the tent reserved for the gate supervisor, and urged, "We won't rebel anymore, how about snatching the marriage for you?"

Shen Man shook for a moment, secretly thinking that this might as well be a rebellion!

Yun Tiangang saw Shen Man's little face turning pale and blue, and stepped forward to turn over her hand to feel the pulse.After pondering for a moment, he said, "Young master, there is probably nothing wrong with your physique, but your heartbeat is sudden and your breath is short of breath. Is there something on your mind?"

Shen Man withdrew his hand angrily, stared at the old and young thorns, determined to be tough to the end, so he purposely said angrily, "I'm annoying, you stay away from me."

Ning Tao took a step back, carefully raised his head to look at Shen Man, saw that Shen Man was still waiting for him, so he took another step back.Shen Man finally stopped staring, so he calmed down and signaled Yun Tiangang to do the same.

Yun Tiangang is usually considered shrewd and capable, since he met Shen Man, he has followed Shen Man wholeheartedly, so at this moment he is also acting like a child, learning from Ning Tao.

Ning Tao wrinkled his nose suddenly, turned his head and frowned and said, "It stinks...where did it come from..."

But when he saw the person coming, he was stunned, and then reluctantly went up, sniffed the smell of the person up and down, and then laughed up to the sky without any scruples, "Hahaha! This is not the young master Jiang who smells good anytime and anywhere Why, why does it suddenly seem to have fallen into a cesspit? This smell may not go away for a few days! Hahaha!"

Shen Man saw that he was smiling unscrupulously, and the people around were all looking this way. She didn't want to attract other people's attention, so she signaled Yun Tiangang to pull Ning Tao away, and she led Jiang Qiudi to the gap of a folk tent.

"Master Jiang, why are you so smelly? Did you fall into the dung truck?" Shen Man couldn't help asking.

Ning Tao covered his stomach and continued to laugh, ignoring Jiang Qiudi's increasingly cold gaze, "Hahaha! I think he must have fallen in...otherwise it wouldn't be like this...haha!"

Seeing that it was useless to stare at him, Jiang Qiudi made a plan, walked quickly to Ning Tao's side, fumbled for something from his pocket, and stuffed it quickly and hard into Ning Tao's mouth while Ning Tao was laughing. in the mouth.

So Ning Tao fell silent, clutching his throat.

Yun Tiangang fell silent, as he saw that what Ning Tao ate just now was not poisonous.

Shen Man also fell silent, because she clearly saw that Jiang Qiudi had stuffed Ning Tao with...

Thinking about the details of that thing carefully, she suddenly became nauseous, squatting on the edge of the tent and retching.

Ning Tao walked to her side silently, and squatted together with her.

Shen Man vomited for a while, seeing him so quiet, felt weird, patted his shoulder, and asked, "Do you know what you ate just now?"

Ning Tao's eyes were dull and his movements were slow, "I know."

Shen Man couldn't believe it, "Then you can still do this..."

Ning Tao suddenly spread his hands and said, "I hope you will give me a medicine."

"What medicine?"

"I want to commit suicide." Ning Tao said expressionlessly.

Shen Man was stunned for a moment, and then he burst out laughing, "You are a cruel and ruthless person who thought of committing suicide... Hahaha!"

Ning Tao looked at her with his chin tilted and smiled, "Don't you know?"

"What?" Shen Man stopped laughing, feeling that Ning Tao had something to say.

Unexpectedly, Ning Tao said slowly, "Scholars can be killed but not humiliated."

Shen Man was speechless, and stood up holding the tent, "Who told you to make fun of Young Master Jiang just now?! You deserve it!"

Ning Tao shook his robe, "If anyone reveals half a word about today's matter, I will die immediately."

With smiles in his eyes, Shen Man walked towards Jiang Qiudi, put one hand on his shoulder, and asked, "By the way, where did you go and what did you gain?"

Jiang Qiudi shook his shoulders and shook Shen Man's frivolous hand, and said coldly, "The dung cart is full of weapons. When it is transported to the back kitchen, the stove in the back kitchen is empty, all short dagger."

"What?!" The other three were surprised at the same time.

Shen Man was the first to react, "Who wants to rebel?"

Ning Tao opened his mouth wide, and then smiled, "It seems that rebellion is always on the young master's mind."

Shen Man ignored him, and continued to ask Jiang Qiudi, "How many people are the weapons enough for?"

"It is enough to equip a thousand people."

Ning Tao pinched his fingers and counted, "Eldest Prince, Seventh Prince, Princess Decheng, and—Ning Xiang, do you want to bet on which one is it?"

Shen Man said for no reason, "No, you missed one more."

Ning Tao's eyes changed slightly, "Which one?"

The deep eyes became restrained, "The gate supervisor, Tang Jiuyue."

Ning Tao slowly stretched out another finger, "In total, there are five people who can rebel." He glanced at Shen Man from the corner of his eye, and analyzed, "Among them, Supervisor Tang is currently the most suspect. She has an imminent motive, and that is she - she doesn't want to marry the emperor, so she simply wants to change the dynasty..."

"It's unlikely," Shen Man retorted, "She has no military power, no name, so it's impossible to take such a risk."

Yun Tiangang said, "The Seventh Prince took us up the mountain and said that he came here under the order of Tang's gate supervisor. If Tang Jiuyue colluded with him and cooperated internally and externally, maybe we could succeed."

Collusion...

The corner of Shen Man's mouth twitched, Doctor Xin Daoyun's words were really euphemistic.

Ning Tao laughed, "In any case, no matter who rebels, the marriage of the gate supervisor is ruined anyway, and we are happy to enjoy the benefits."

Yun Tiangang asked strangely, "Sit back and enjoy what we have achieved? What have we achieved by sitting and enjoying?"

Shen Man coughed softly, grabbed Ning Tao's arm, pulled it aside and said, "Speak carefully, Doctor Yun is getting old, don't scare him."

Ning Tao smiled and said, "Young master speaks, how can I not obey."

"Keng-Keng-"

A gong sounded, shaking the mountains and fields, the birds in the mountains were startled, and there were rustling noises in the woods.

All the people present looked at the high platform in front of the main hall.

Immediately, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in the Dafeng Dynasty is about to begin.

But Shen Man knew that offering sacrifices to heaven was just the beginning, and this day would be a very long one.
