The devil has too many vests

Recently, the atmosphere in Shengjing has been very tense, with cavalry rushing to and fro on the streets from time to time, and there is an unconcealable chill in their movements.

Some ordinary people with a keen sense of smell sensed that the limelight was not right, and they were a little more careful when setting out to do business.

Sure enough, for several days after that, Fei Yuwei was everywhere arresting people.Many prominent high-ranking officials and dignitaries were found to have had close contacts with the King of Qi or the Dongli Kingdom, and they were sent to prison.

Among them, Prince Qi's son is the most eye-catching.

"What a bunch of cowardly and stupid bastards, this time I can see through their faces! Even for the friendship of many years, I should come to see you. How can His Majesty convict you for this?"

In the prison of Feiyuwei Beifu, separated by the special black iron door, Xue Hanshan cursed several times angrily, and punched the iron door in excitement.

Then, he held his fist and took a deep breath, with a funny expression on his face.

"The world is hot and cold, it's just human nature."

A boy's calm voice came from inside the black iron gate.Yan Weilou sat quietly against the wall, raised his head slightly to look at him, and smiled disapprovingly: "It's just that you haven't seen it much in the past, and you will probably know it in the future. This is just a very common rule in this world..."

Xue Hanshan couldn't laugh or cry.

Looking at Yan Weilou who looked calm and relaxed, without the slightest sign of worry, but was interested in educating him, he couldn't help but shook his head: "I said, Your Royal Highness, you have come to prison this time, and you have comprehended the demeanor of an eminent monk. coming?"

He continued: "...But the current situation is unclear, Your Highness should not be in danger of your life in a short time."

Turning his head to glance at the sullen jailer not far away, Xue Hanshan lowered his voice, and told Yan Weilou about the current external situation.

Originally, Dayong was powerful and powerful, far superior to Beimo Dongli, but this time the king of Qi suddenly launched an attack, and Dayong was unprepared, not to mention Dongli was in the middle of it. So, so far, the front line is still stalemate , a close call.

In this way, Yan Weilou, the prince of Qi's heir, would be safer.As for Beimo...

"...Bei Mo has no time to go south now."

Xue Hanshan's tone was a little gloating. After all, Dongli and Dayong share the same language, so they can still be regarded as a country of brothers, but those tribes in Beimo are real aliens.

He laughed and said: "The cult Tianzong in Beimo has gone crazy for some reason, mobilizing dozens of clans in the south, big and small, as if he is looking for someone..."

"Huh? Looking for someone?" Yan Weilou's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly raised his head. "Who are you looking for?" Has this happened in the previous life?

Xue Hanshan spread his hands, his face full of doubts: "I don't know..."

Yan Weilou didn't ask any more questions, but said one more sentence before parting: "By the way, it's not peaceful outside these few days, don't run around, remember to stay in the mansion and don't go out."

After Xue Hanshan left, Xie Xuan walked in.

It seemed that he would always be wearing the scarlet robe of Feiyuwei, with one hand resting on the simple black long knife at his waist.His expression was cold and serious, and he was meticulous.

Glancing at the dark iron gate, Xie Xuan suddenly said, "Do you need me..."

"No need."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Weilou shook his head and replied with two simple words.

Xie Xuan glanced at him, seeing the serious expression on the young man's face, he put down his hand on the handle of the knife, slowly retreated, and disappeared into the shadows again.

Behind him, Yan Weilou, who had been leaning against the corner of the wall while maintaining a posture, moved his eyes slightly, and his figure suddenly became illusory for a moment and then solidified.

"The power of time seems to be insufficient..."

He murmured in a low voice, with a curl on his lips.

·

In the North Qifang of Zhuque Street, the gate of Yinkui Gate is located.

I don't know whether the Yinkui Gate was chosen here for the convenience of hiding, or because I was shy and lacked funds. This "slum area" has always been the most chaotic area in Shengjing City, where hooligans, rangers, thieves, hidden There are almost everyone in the green forest hero, which can be described as "hidden dragon and crouching tiger".

Outside this seemingly inconspicuous house, there are criss-crossing alleys.

Two people who looked like wandering martial artists passed by the alley one after the other, their footsteps became faster and faster, and they quickly blended into the crowd without being inconspicuous at all.

The person in front lowered his voice, and his tone was joyful: "After squatting for a few days, it must be right. It must be the grandchildren of Yinkuimen! I can smell the familiar stench of these guys from far away!"

Someone behind him asked softly: "Are we going back to meet the Hall Master?" The voice seemed a little hoarse.

"How is it possible? The lord of the palace is high above, and you and I can see it at will—" the person in front laughed out loud, "What kind of dream are you talking about?"

"However, this time we actually found someone from the Yinkui Sect. The Palace Master will be happy when he finds out." After a pause, he continued, "Wait, that old man Yin Changsheng dared to provoke the Palace Master by overestimating his capabilities. ...When we report to the Palace Master, none of his apprentices and grandchildren will be able to escape! We can also record a great merit, and maybe we can go further!"

His tone was filled with unconcealable excitement.

"So, it's just an accident that we appeared here. Even if one of them died, no one would care, right?" The person behind asked again.

"Why are you getting weirder today? Don't think too much, are you still expecting that there will be guardians to collect our bodies after we die!"

He replied impatiently, and said with the attitude of the seniors educating the latecomers: "Boy, in our Yaoguang Temple, the most important thing is to watch more, listen more and ask less, so that you may live longer."

While speaking, his demeanor didn't change much. In the eyes of passers-by nearby, he still seemed to be just such a down-and-out and inconspicuous martial artist.This acting is pretty good.

However, what this person didn't notice was that even though he had a lot of impatience with the people behind him, he didn't directly reject the other person as usual, or beat him to death when he got angry, but chatted unknowingly. Along the way, he revealed all kinds of common sense in the Yaoguang Temple.

Until the voice of the person behind suddenly changed:

"Thank you for answering your questions. It really saved me a lot of time. Reciprocate, and I will let you go on the road more relaxed and happy."

——This time, he finally heard clearly that the voice was completely different from his companions, it was a young and almost green voice, like a bell.When the other party no longer deliberately suppressed his voice, the cold and playful tone in his tone became more intense.

After the voice fell, a palm fell on his shoulder.

In an instant, this person's expression changed drastically, his hair stood on end, almost as if his soul was flying out of the sky.

"...you you you who you are!"

His body froze and stopped in place, and he turned around tremblingly, his teeth chattering up and down.

A young, handsome and ruthless face was immediately reflected in his pupils.Immediately afterwards, his sight began to shake violently, and the strange face slowly faded away, replaced by the high and boundless sky.

boom!

Accompanied by a dull heavy object falling to the ground.The man slowly closed his eyelids, and there was still a look of horror in his eyes that hadn't faded away in time.

At the last moment, what flashed through his mind was a pair of dark and calm eyes, like watching the moon and the wind, without the slightest killing intent.

Tick ​​tock!

A drop of fresh blood rolled silently from his fingertips, Yan Weilou looked down at the corpse on the ground.

The golden sundial of time emerged from the pupil of his left eye, flashing a golden halo.The pointer moved slightly, and the power of time, which was already almost exhausted, was slightly replenished.

Yan Weilou popped out a wisp of dark white flames, skillfully completed the operation of destroying the corpse, allowing this person to meet up with his companion who disappeared without a sound, and then raised his eyes to look forward.

——Unknowingly followed all the way, he easily found the foothold of the Yaoguang Palace in Shengjing City.

Turning around an alley, what appeared in front of Yan Weilou was an extremely unremarkable pawnshop, the old signboard was covered with dust, and there was only a small door that could allow one person to pass through.

The pawnshop was small in size and located in a remote location, and it looked like it was about to close due to poor management.

Just by looking at the appearance, who would have guessed that this would be the entrance of the Yaoguang Hall, one of the seven halls of the famous Big Dipper Demon Palace, in Shengjing City?

Tuk Tuk!

Yan Weilou knocked twice on the counter, and the shopkeeper, who was sitting in front of the counter with drooping eyelids and dozing off, immediately opened his eyes.

Seeing someone coming, he stood up, with a courteous smile on his face: "Huh? What does this young man want to be?"

Yan Weilou handed over a jade pendant that had just been pulled off the body of the dead man, and exchanged a few codes with the other party, and the shopkeeper immediately stepped aside for him: "Yo, this thing is expensive, isn't it?" You can make a decision in a few words, and the young master invites you to come inside."

... People like this pawnshop shopkeeper are mostly direct descendants cultivated in the Big Dipper Demon Palace for generations, and they have been brainwashed since childhood, which is reassuring.Among them, those with good cultivation aptitude were collected in the palace, and those with too low aptitude were sent to be used as pawns by the Big Dipper Demon Palace all over the world, maybe they would be useful.

The shopkeeper pulled the mechanism somewhere on the counter, and suddenly there was a slight sound on the floor of the pawn shop.

The bricks moved, and with a bang, a big hole appeared, and a dark and deep tunnel appeared in front of Yan Weilou.

Glancing at Yan Weilou's handsome and eye-catching face, the shopkeeper couldn't help shaking his head inwardly. Although there were so many members in the Yaoguang Temple, it was impossible for him to remember them all, but he had no impression of such an outstanding person. Is it really old?

A trace of doubt flashed across my heart, looking at the tunnel that had been opened, the shopkeeper looked a little serious: "My lord, please—"

Yan Weilou didn't hesitate, as if he was very familiar with it, he walked down the tunnel. Before the door of the tunnel closed, he even turned his head and encouraged the other party decently:

"Work hard, the Palace Master will never forget everyone's loyalty. If I succeed in the Big Dipper Demon Palace in the future, I will definitely have a reward from you."

"Okay, okay, that's great! I don't dare to think about rewards, as long as I can go back to the palace."

The shopkeeper's heart was surging for a moment, and tears filled his eyes, and even the doubts that had just arisen were thrown out of the sky.I just feel that the disciple of Yaoguang Palace in front of me is really a rare good person in the Demon Sect, and he still misses them, rare, rare!

Under the shopkeeper's excited and eager eyes, Yan Weilou smiled, and his figure completely disappeared into the tunnel.

The understatement of his expression is quite a bit like "flick off the clothes after the matter, and hide the merit and fame deeply".

·

Not long after Yan Weilou entered the tunnel, a bell rang suddenly above the tower.

thump—

The low, grand, and long bells echoed throughout Shengjing City, but everyone who knew the meaning couldn't help but change their faces.

"There is an urgent military situation!"

Immediately, a series of piercing sounds resounded from the sky above Shengjing City, and dozens of hundreds of figures flew up from all directions in the city.

All of these people looked at the palace.

In the palace, all the officials had arrived at the first time, but at this time they were all washed with saliva under Emperor Yong's fury.

"Trash! What a bunch of trash!" Emperor Yong was furious, "When did the natives in the southwest dare to challenge my majesty? Is Marquis Yu just a living?"

His face was flushed red with anger: "Or, he has already hooked up with the king of Qi, and deliberately indulged the native soldiers to relieve the king of Qi's worries and labors, so that he can make a contribution to the dragon in the future?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Seeing that the emperor was so angry that he couldn't hold back his words, some of the officials came forward: "Marquis Yu has guarded the southwest for generations, and his ancestors have made great achievements. Now everything has not been found out. Don't let loyal officials feel cold."

... At this time, we should still give priority to appeasement.In case the emperor suspects that he is wrong, won't it make Marquis Yu feel dissatisfied with the court if this word spreads?

The Yuhou mentioned by Emperor Yong is one of the only three princes left in Dayong today.

800 years ago, Taizu conquered Dayongjiang Mountain—[-] prefectures in the central region. In order to award meritorious ministers, seven princes were entrusted with the land of the three prefectures.Among them is the ancestor of the current King Qi.

It's just that after three generations, most of those princes with different surnames withered back then, some seized titles due to crimes, and some died accidentally. No one knows whether there is any handwriting of the Dayong imperial family.

The three existing princes with different surnames are King Qi, Marquis Yu, and Marquis Jin.

King Qi's fiefdom is in the south, the forbidden land in the sky to the west, and Dongli to the east. It is like a lonely island, defending the country for Dayong.

The fiefdoms of Marquis Yu and Marquis Jin are one in the southwest and the other in the northwest.The Marquis of Jin guards the Northern Wilderness, and the fiefdom of the Marquis of Yu is similar to that of Qi. To the east is the forbidden land in the sky, and to the west is a group of extremely ferocious natives.

After being persuaded by the ministers, Emperor Yong finally calmed down a little, coughed dryly, and returned to his original majestic appearance.

His Highness's courtiers secretly slandered in their hearts. They always felt that the emperor's recent actions were a little too aggressive, and he was no longer as calm and calm as before.

——Last time in the Rongfeng Pavilion, although the people in the Big Dipper Demon Palace retreated in time, there was no living evidence left behind.But as long as he thought of the Big Dipper Demon Palace, Emperor Yong couldn't help thinking of an incident about Ji Muyue back then, and after all he had some grudges against Ji Muyue in his heart, so he stopped following his advice in everything during this time.Unexpectedly, this made the officials have various doubts about Emperor Yong.

The monarch and his ministers were discussing how to solve the Southwest issue, and another messenger rushed outside the palace.

"The sky is forbidden and the earth trembles? Is there a remnant evil in the world?"

Hearing the news from the messenger, Emperor Yong's face became more and more gloomy, and he stood up from the throne.

"Pass down my decree, summon all the great masters in the royal worship hall."

This time, none of the ministers stopped him.

Whether it is the forbidden land in the sky or the remnants of the great darkness, for the Dayong royal family, they are all cancers that must be eliminated.

Once an accident happens to the former, it is extremely dangerous, while the latter is related to the orthodoxy of the royal family. The so-called "names and utensils, not fake people" must be suppressed as soon as possible.

Compared with these two things, even the ongoing war on the front line can be temporarily delayed.

Even if someone sensed the conspiracy behind it, it was not so much a conspiracy as a conspiracy, even Emperor Yong himself had no choice but to do so.

In less than half a day, most of the remaining Daoist masters in Shengjing City also left here to investigate the cause of the tremors in the Forbidden Heaven and Earth, and hunt down the remnants of Dayou.

Although ninety-nine percent of the grand masters have gone away, the emperor is not worried about the safety of Shengjing City.

This capital was originally the capital of Dayou in the former dynasty. The city was high and the pool was deep. After 800 years of continuous improvement, it became stronger and stronger.What's more, there is still a standing army in the city. Even if the army is overwhelming, it will not be a problem to persist for half a year.

There is a special formation in the palace, and only the emperor himself controls the center of the formation.Once an outsider breaks into the palace, even if they can break through the formation, it will alarm the existence deep in the palace who has been practicing in seclusion.

——That is a genuine celestial saint.

The same is true for the other two countries.Since the founding of Dayong, Dongli, and Beimo, no one has successfully invaded the capital and retreated unscathed.

Thinking about the current situation over and over again, Emperor Yong felt safe in his heart and couldn't help but secretly proud of himself.

... It seems that there is no need to ask Xiao Jiu to offer advice secretly, he is capable of dealing with many state affairs by himself, and he was too arrogant in the past!

While he was proud, he thought about all the troubles in recent days, and after he came down to court, Emperor Yong went to the harem by himself, hoping to find a considerate concubine to explain it to him.

In the sleeping hall, the noble concubine was paralyzed on the couch, happily looking at some indescribable small picture books, imagining the fairy days surrounded by all kinds of beautiful boys, when suddenly hearing the eunuch's message from outside the palace, she had to sigh and put away the booklet, and divided it into pieces. Arrange dresses and sideburns in minutes.

She walked out slowly, and forced the face in front of her to automatically switch to the beautiful men she saw just now. Her eyes softened instantly, and a sincere smile appeared on her face:

"Your Majesty is down!"

Seeing Aifei's appearance of waiting for him for a long time, Emperor Yong's heart fluttered even more, he strode forward quickly, and soon fell drunk in the soft fragrance of nephrite.

……

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden commotion in the palace.

Emperor Yong, who was sleeping, was roughly dragged from the bed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the well-dressed imperial concubine standing aside.

He still hadn't reacted, and he reached out to touch the imperial concubine's hand: "My concubine, what happened?"

"Bah, big pig's hoof!" The imperial concubine knocked off Emperor Yong's hand, and the speed of her face change was shocking. She stepped back three steps, "What happened? It's not easy—you were caught Abdicated!"

Emperor Yong was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about..."

"What the concubine said is very..."

With a long and lazy tone, the door of the dormitory was suddenly opened, and a group of people walked in. The one at the front was the extremely gorgeous Ninth Princess Ji Muyue, who was dressed in complicated palace attire.

He raised the corners of his lips, his pupils were filled with a heart-shattering purple, and he looked over with a smile that was not a smile.

"—Royal Father, it's time for you to abdicate."

Emperor Yong couldn't help taking a step back.The noble concubine took the opportunity to happily trot towards where Ji Muyue was.

This move surprised Emperor Yong for a moment.Looking at Ji Muyue who was still dressed in women's clothing, and then at the noble concubine who quickly stood behind Ji Muyue, he was filled with shock and anger for a moment, and his face was livid.

"You..." He tremblingly pointed at the indifferent imperial concubine, not even caring about pursuing Ji Muyue, "You actually betrayed me?!"

You know, the woman he loves the most has always been the imperial concubine, so she is also very kind to the third prince, and the future throne may pass to the third prince.This woman didn't help her son, but instead united with others to betray him!

What else could it be for a woman to do this?

Thinking of Ji Muyue's real gender, a guess immediately came to mind.Emperor Yong vomited a mouthful of blood, and suddenly felt a little green on his head.

"???" Looking at his distorted and angry eyes when he looked at himself, he thought he was just an insignificant role in this palace change. At most, he dragged the emperor out of the bed, but somehow became the one with the highest hatred value of the emperor. The noble concubine, her eyes were blank, her heart felt wronged.

……what happened?Didn't she just want to live a fairy life?Just thinking about it, she hasn't done anything yet.
