Ming Jing Tai

The temple was ruined and injured again, and it was the first time that the people of Yizhong discovered that they had a close relationship with the ruined temple.

After successfully assassinating Sima Xian, he was also seriously injured by the masters around Sima Xian. After dressing his wound with difficulty, Yi Zhongren smiled mockingly.

So what if Sima Xian has five masters around him?Two of the five people were seriously injured by him, one was disabled, and the remaining two were left to "others" to deal with.In troubled times, even masters can't help the opponent's crowd.

Yi Zhongren's face was pale, and his lips were bloodless, but it was still difficult to hide the firmness and momentum in his eyes.

Bearing the burden of humiliation, step by step to today, Yi Zhongren leaned on the sword in one hand, and said to himself coldly: "Huo Feng, if you can't win the world like this, you are really a coward and a fool, and I am mistaken. "

With a whistling sound, Yi Zhongren's body trembled, and he put his fingers in his mouth and whistled twice vigorously.After a while, a figure of one person flew to the door of the ruined temple, with the anxiety of coming all the way.It was a gloomy day in December, but Yi Zhongren smiled faintly at the man.

"You're injured again." The other party put away the sword in his hand and walked quickly to Yi Zhongren.

Yi Zhongren raised his hand that was not holding the sword, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, I won't die."

"I sent Xiaoqin back to the village and rushed to you. I didn't expect it to be a step too late."

"It's not too late." Yi Zhongren gasped for a few weak breaths, "I don't have the strength to go back alone now. Those magic sticks taught by Tian Chong will not let me go easily, you came just in time."

The visitor pursed his lips, swallowed what he wanted to say, bent over and carried Yi Zhongren on his back and walked out of the ruined temple quickly.A horse quickly appeared in front of them, and the man led Yizhong onto the horse and left quickly.

Sima Xian was assassinated to death, and the gods taught people's hearts to fluctuate, but the most important person they deal with now is not the assassin, but the [-] elite soldiers of Shanghai Anwei and Yuqinwei.

Both Hu'anwei and Yuqinwei are ruthless people who kill without batting an eyelid, and the "Yizhong people" who lead the troops are also very capable, and they beat the main force of the Tenjin Sect to the point of splitting their bodies.

Now that Sima Xian is dead, several elders of the Tenjin Sect simply mobilized all their forces to fight against Huanwei and Yuqinwei.

Of course, the assassin still has to investigate.The Tenjin Sect sent out several experts to track down the assassin's whereabouts, and vowed to use the assassin's head as a memorial to Sima Xian, and most importantly, to boost the morale of the Tenjin Sect.

As for the mysterious assassin who assassinated Sima Xian, Huo Feng was paying close attention, and someone from the rear official was also paying close attention.

Hearing that the assassin was seriously injured, the Empress Dowager Ru was extremely impatient and kept giving orders to Shanghai Anwei and Yu Qinwei in the name of the new emperor to find out the whereabouts of the assassin.

Empress Dowager Ru knew that it was none other than Yi Zhong who assassinated Sima Xian.And the "Yi Zhongren" who led the troops to fight fiercely with the Tenjin Sect was a lieutenant general in disguise.

Few people know about this matter, and the plan proposed by the Yizhong people to the Empress Dowager Ru is to "surprise".Everyone thought that he was the one who commanded the battle, and no one thought that the real Yizhong would assassinate Sima Xian.

Yi Zhongren is a special existence to Empress Dowager Ru, whether it is Empress Dowager Ru herself or the current situation in the court, she cannot do without Yi Zhongren's powerful help.If Yi Zhongren is lost at this juncture, it will be a great blow to Queen Mother Ru.

After taking down Baqiu City, Huo Feng appointed several respected heads of big households in Baqiu City to take over temporarily, leaving a 1000-man garrison in Baqiu City, and then continued to march towards the capital with a large army.

Ever since he knew that the "assassin" who assassinated Sima Xian had been seriously injured, Huo Feng's brows were always furrowed. This directly led to a tense atmosphere in the army. Those who didn't know the reason thought it might be the imperial court or the Kun Kingdom's army that was about to arrive. .

However, the Huang family's troops were all fought on the battlefield, and no one would be afraid of going to danger, which would only make their fighting spirit even higher.The Southern Chu Kingdom has long lost the hearts of the people, not to mention this group of passionate men.

Only Huang Han knew why their prince did this.

Although Huo Zhongren was still somewhat skeptical, Huang Han couldn't help feeling a little admiration for Yi Zhongren when he thought that it was Yi Zhongren who assassinated Sima Xian.It's just that when he thought of so many loyal ministers and innocent people who died at the hands of the Yizhong people, he felt that if the Yizhong people died like this, it would be considered atonement.

"I found it! I found it!"

While Huang Han was wandering, Ji Di rushed in from outside the tent.His hair was disheveled and his cheeks were sunken, but his eyes were staring like copper bells, glowing with excitement.

Hahaha, as expected, no matter how difficult things are, his Jidi can't be troubled!

Huo Feng raised his head from the combat map almost as soon as Jidi's voice came in. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, Huang Han and Tang Nian could still see the nervousness under his calm.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate fulfilled our mission. This subordinate found out. The assassin was almost split in half by Sima Xian's men from behind. It was also found that the people of the Tenjin Sect seem to have not found the assassin yet."

Speaking of this, Jidi breathed a sigh of relief, "Such a chivalrous assassin must not fall into the hands of the Deity Cult. But his injury is indeed serious, but I don't know if he will respond, it will be fine if he responds. "

Then, he said worriedly: "Huanwei and Yuqinwei seem to be looking for him too, I wonder what they want to do? My lord, should we send someone to support that chivalrous assassin?"

Huo Feng's two sword eyebrows were almost twisted together.

It was almost cut in half with a knife... This is a serious injury that almost killed him!That man was injured by his men at Yucheng Pass, and now he is so seriously injured... Huo Feng's heart is the same as his eyebrows.

If the man hadn't been injured by his subordinates, then he wouldn't have been injured so badly this time.Huo Feng's heart burst into flames.

Realizing that his emotions were influenced by that person, Huo Feng immediately regained his composure, secretly startled that he valued that person.But then he thought again, that person owed him so many explanations, and his two children were still in the hands of that person, that person must not die.

Huo Feng's eyes were gloomy: "Even if we send people to help, we can't find him."

"Ah? Why?" Jidi was stunned.

Tang Nian was also stunned. Wasn't that assassin sent by the prince? How could he not find it?

Looking down at the battle map again, Huo Feng didn't explain, but said: "Pay close attention to the movements of the assassins. The reinforcements from Kun Kingdom are stationed in Shangyuan City, and obviously they don't want to compromise their own strength too much. Why don't we come to Mingxiu?" Plank road, dark storehouse."

Huang Han, Jidi and Tang Nian, who were still thinking about assassins, were stunned. Aren't they talking about assassins?However, they quickly calmed down and joined the discussion.

At night, Huo Feng walked out of the military tent, and the six guards guarding outside the military tent followed closely behind him.Huo Feng waved his hands to make them retreat: "This king is just walking around in the camp."

"The safety of the lord is very important, and the responsibility of the subordinates lies." A guard said, refusing to leave.

Huo Feng glanced at him, without embarrassment, said: "Then you all step back, the king wants to think about something, so don't bother."

"Yes."

The six guards took a dozen steps back.

It was also impossible for Huo Feng to go outside the camp, he walked slowly and thoughtfully around the camp.After walking for about half an hour, he didn't even intend to stop.

At the end of the year, there is no trace of festiveness in the camp, but a thick atmosphere of gunpowder.

One person came out of his military tent, and immediately saw the prince "hanging around" outside, and he stopped in a big stride.It is deep winter, the days are very cold, and the nights are even colder.

"My lord, it's so cold outside, why did you come out?"

Huo Feng's meditation was interrupted by someone who came, he raised his head, and said lightly: "Think about something, just wake up a bit outside."

Huo Feng didn't say what it was, but Huang Han could understand it.He asked: "Would the lord want to sit with his subordinates? The subordinates just can't sleep either."

Huo Feng was "wandering" outside, and some soldiers were worried, so they quietly reported to Huang Han.

Huo Feng nodded: "Alright, let's go."

The two went to Huang Han's military tent together.

After entering the military tent, Huang Han poured Huo Feng a cup of tea, and after sitting down, he said directly: "My lord, are you worried about Yizhong?"

Huo Feng stopped drinking tea.Putting down the teacup, he was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Men Yizhong, you have given me too many questions. I always thought he was an eunuch, a demon, and a traitor who should be killed, but after the Beijing party, he But he did so many things that I can't understand."

Taking a deep breath, Huo Feng looked at Huang Han, "If I wanted to kill him before, then now, I want him to live, and I want to ask him why he did this, or what is his purpose."

Huang Han also had a deep thought on his face, and said: "I have been thinking about his purpose for doing this. If he wants to show his favor to the prince, it makes sense. Maybe he sees that you, the prince, have the power to win the world." Yes, so find a way out for yourself?"

For some reason, Huo Feng didn't like Huang Han's speculation.He shook his head: "If he wanted to find a way out for himself, he wouldn't have said those things to me."

"What?"

Huo Feng clenched his fists tightly: "He said I was a coward, said I was incompetent, not even as good as an eunuch."

"He said that about the prince?!"

Huang Han was shocked.My goodness!That guy from Yizhong dared to say that about the prince!

"He said such things to me, but he is not going to leave a way out for himself with me, so why would he show his favor to me for this reason?"

Huang Han was tongue-tied and still in shock.

Huo Feng's brows tightened. Speaking of "the back road", a thought flashed through his head just now, it was too fast, and he missed it.

"He killed the emperor, Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu, and also killed Sima Xian. No matter how you look at it, he seems to be helping us, but how dare he insult the prince like this? What is he thinking?" Acting curiously.

A flash of light flashed in Huo Feng's eyes, and his expression changed drastically: "He wants to leave!"

"Walk?"

Huo Feng slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth: "He wants to leave! He didn't do all this for me at all! He wants to leave the capital, leave completely!"

"Leave?" Huang Han couldn't keep up with his prince's train of thought.

Huo Feng stood up abruptly, once again burning with inexplicable anger.

"The emperor, Zhang Zhong, and Sun Jiyu are all dead. There is no one in the capital who can threaten him. Someone in the court must know about the assassination of Sima Xian. Otherwise, how would that fake 'Yizhong man' hide it from Shanghai Anwei and Yu Qinwei?" Fifty thousand soldiers and horses? He assassinated Sima Xian and was seriously injured. No one knew where he was. If he didn't show up for a long time, others would think that he was seriously injured and died.

"By doing this, he can not only escape the golden cicada's shell, but also make this king owe him a big favor. It must be so, it must be so! He wants to leave the capital completely, leave the control of Shanghai Anwei and Yuqinwei, and even leave This king may threaten him in the future!"

Huang Han was speechless: "This, this, this is too..."

The more Huo Feng thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct. The more he thought about it, the more anger he felt in his chest, and there was a trace of panic that he hadn't noticed yet.

Thinking of something, he rushed out of the tent without saying a word.

Jidi was sleeping soundly, when a sudden "earth shaking and mountain shaking" woke him up.Waking up in a haze, he got up suddenly: "Is there an earthquake? Is there an earthquake?"

"Jidi! Find someone for this king to monitor Queen Mother Ru."

Jidi blinked and woke up suddenly.

"My lord?"

"Find someone reliable to monitor the Empress Dowager Ru, and find out where Yi Zhong is for this king. Don't say anything about this matter!"

Jidi's cold hair was all standing on end, the prince's face was so ferocious.He was a smart man, although he was still sleepy, he immediately understood the importance of the matter.

"This subordinate will do everything possible to place our people beside Queen Mother Ru, but if this is the case, this subordinate will have to go to the capital in person."

"My king sent 20 people to protect you."

My lord is coming!

Jidi immediately said: "No need, it's more convenient to have one subordinate, the prince only needs to give some money to his subordinates."

"no problem!"

Before dawn the next day, Jidi quietly left the barracks and headed to the capital alone with enough money.Huang Han didn't know what Jidi was doing, but he believed it must be related to the Yizhong people.

Huang Han was a little worried, the prince was too concerned about Yi Zhongren.The Yizhong people can leave if they want to, and it is better to go now. When they attack the capital in the future, there may be many people who want to seek revenge from the Yizhong people.

In a remote small village, the villagers seem a little anxious today.Before dawn, everyone got up.

It's been a month since the New Year, but this year is spent in disappointment, but every household still hangs bright red lanterns and sticks bright red window grilles, as if reluctant to let the New Year pass like this.

After breakfast, everyone gathered at Yuande's house.The village is very remote and small, and there is no village head. The most prestigious Yuande is the backbone of the villagers, and everyone will come to his house if there is anything to do.But today, Yuan De also seemed a little anxious and restless.

"Brother, are you alright? Huai Qiu went out a few years ago, and it's already February, so there's no news at all." A man about Yuan De's age asked.

The worry in Yuan De's eyes became more serious: "I'm also worried that something happened to your lord."

"My lord, something must have happened." A beautiful woman was about to cry, "Your lord said that you would come to us immediately after you killed Sima Xian, but Sima Xian died long ago, and your lord hasn't come back yet, something must have happened. "

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yuan De's wife patted the woman, "My lord is blessed with great destiny, everything will be fine, there must be some reason for the delay."

Yuan De frowned and said: "Neither Huaiqiu nor the lord can send us a letter, and we can't go out to inquire, all we can do is wait. If Huaiqiu didn't come back, either he didn't find the lord, or he was killed by something together with the lord." It's been delayed."

After thinking for a while, Yuan De looked at a young man, "Xie Ming, go to the town today and listen to the news. My lord's identity is sensitive, if something really happens, it will definitely be reported outside."

"I'll go with Brother Xie Ming." A boy said, "I'm a child, so I'm easy to find out."

Yuan De was a little hesitant, and the child said calmly: "No one will recognize me. There are wars everywhere now, who will pay attention to me?"

"Let Yuanmai follow." Xie Ming said.

Yuan De thought for a while, and said: "Okay, you can pretend to be selling dry goods. But if there is chaos outside, you should come back immediately. Our place must not be exposed now."

"Do not worry."

Without much delay, Xie Ming took Yuan Mai and a basket of dry goods on his back, and drove a donkey cart out of the mountain.

The woman who was reprimanded by Aunt Yuan hugged Aunt Yuan before: "Mother, I'm afraid."

The aunt pressed her arm: "Your Excellency will be fine."

I say this to myself, and I also say it to everyone.
