Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

Lin Qing smiled: "So the price I gave is also very high, fifty Wen, what do you think?"

Xiaofa shook her head: "Sister, I can't be sorry for my father for helping outsiders."

Lin Qing raised her eyebrows: "Sixty Wen."

Xiaofa looked at the night sky: "My father raised me, it was not easy."

Lin Qing raised a finger and said simply: "One hundred Wen."

Xiaofa immediately stretched out his hand: "Sister, tell me where you live, and wait for my news tomorrow. However, you need to give me the money now."

Lin Qing said: "I'll give you the money now, what if you don't help us?"

Xiaofa's face was indifferent: "When I do business, I always say what I say. If you think it's inappropriate, sister, then we don't want to do this business. Just give me [-] Wen as compensation."

Le Yue couldn't help but glanced at Lin Qing, girl, we won't get paid until tomorrow, and now we have nothing, how can we pay him in cash?Lin Qing nodded cheerfully: "Okay, but you have to wait for me for a while, we don't have that much money with us now, we have to go back and get it." She raised her hand and kept going, "Those two people on the roof, don't worry about it How about betting here?"

Xiaofa looked up hesitantly, and fell silent.

Le Yue said: "Well, I'll stay as a mortgage too, now you should believe it." He didn't know what method Lin Qing would use, but he knew that since she said so, it would definitely be possible.

Xiaofa finally nodded and said to Linqing, "Hurry up, I'm impatient."

Lin Qing pulled Zhao Yuan and grabbed Fei Xianfeng: "Take us to find your master."

The monkey flapped its wings and flew silently in the night sky.Zhao Yuan and Lin Qing followed it on a cloud.Zhao Yuan asked Lin Qing suspiciously: "Why did you think of borrowing money from Sun Ben?"

Lin Qing replied: "Because we can only borrow from him now."

Zhao Yuan asked again: "Will Sun Ben lend it to us?" Lin Qing raised a smile: "If you can't borrow it, grab it."

Once Zhao Yuan was full of admiration for Lin Qing.This is the domineering that he can never learn.

Flying Pioneer circled over Ziyang Town and flew them out of the city.Flying over a dark forest, it folded its wings and fell to the ground.

Lin Qing pressed down her cloud head, and she saw Sun Ben.He is digging a grave.

Or to be more precise, he had already dug the grave. When Lin Qing and Zhao Yuan's feet touched the ground, Sun Ben took out a sword from the coffin, threw it on the ground aside, and closed the coffin lid. Jump out of the grave with a shovel.She was not surprised at all by the appearance of Zhao Yuan and Lin Qing.

Lin Qing couldn't help but said: "You are really too much, not only robbing the common people, but even the dead."

Sun Ben showed his signature white teeth indifferently: "The two of you are here at this time, you probably didn't come to accuse me of disturbing the deceased."

There is still a pile of ashes of paper money with embers in front of this excavated grave, and the ring marks around the pile of paper from the wine are still there.Lin Qing secretly said in her heart, it seems that the bandit leader is still a little afraid of retribution for digging graves, so he bought some drinks and paper money to deceive himself and others.

Zhao Yuan said: "Well, we came to ask you to borrow money."

Sun Ben laughed and asked straightforwardly, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Lin Qing said, "One hundred Wen." She paused, then added, "I'll pay you back tomorrow."

Sun Ben snorted, took out a bunch of copper coins from the leather pouch at his waist, and handed them to Zhao Yuan, without even asking them the reason for the wrong money, very happy.

Zhao Yuan took the string of money, and Lin Qing said to Sun Ben, "Thank you."

Sun Ben smiled and said, "Girl, you're welcome. If you need anything else, just tell me."

Holding the string of money, Zhao Yuan looked at the two of them back and forth, always feeling that the atmosphere between Sun Ben and Lin Qing was a bit strange.

Sun Ben bent down to pick up the sword on the ground, wiped it with his sleeve, and pulled out the scabbard. A cold silver light shone coldly in the night.He held up the blade of the sword and looked back and forth in front of his eyes: "Miss, what do you think of this sword?"

Lin Qing curled her lips: "In my opinion, the weapons of ordinary people are just a pile of ordinary iron, but the owner whose coffin was pried open by you is too pitiful."

Sun Ben still admired the sword carefully: "Girl thinks he is a pile of vulgar iron, but in the mortal world, it is a real treasure. It once cut off the head of the prince Yingchao, and even drank countless swords on the battlefield. The blood of the enemy. Only Bailishi's successor to the king is eligible to get it. Such a sword, buried in the soil, is a humiliation to its vigor."

Sun Ben's fingers slowly slid across the blade, and the sword hummed faintly, as if responding to what he said.Zhao Yuan could vaguely feel the bloody smell and coolness coming from the sword, so, could this grave be...

Lin Qing murmured: "You dug Bailiqi's grave." This person really doesn't care about anything for what he wants, and will do anything.

Lin Qing took Zhao Yuan's arm: "Thank you for your generosity tonight, I wish you a happy kill with this sword. Let's go first, and we will meet later."

Zhao Yuan was pulled by Lin Qing to the cloud, floated up, but still couldn't help looking back.

Sun Ben had put his sword back into its scabbard, tied it around his waist, and shoveled the grave soil back into the pit.There is no tombstone in this tomb. I don't know how Sun Ben found out that it was Bailiqi's tomb.Fei Xianfeng squatted aside to watch Sun Ben fill the grave, motionless, like a statue of a tomb.

Back at Ma Fu’s house, Xiaofa got the string of money, counted the witnesses carefully, and said with a smile on his face: “Sister, I promise you with the name of the most beautiful boy in Ziyang Town, this matter will be done for you. Tomorrow Wait for my news."

Le Yue, Zhao Yuan, Lin Qing, Luo Lingzhi and Ying Ze shivered silently.

Le Yue sincerely praised: "Xiao Shidi is really a good person."

After finishing the night patrol at five o'clock in the morning, I returned to the county office.When the people in the county government found that they had come back alive and kicking, they all expressed their shock and admiration.Le Yue didn't say a word about what happened to them last night, but didn't see anything.When returning to rest in the ear room, Zhao Yuan asked Le Yue if he should tell the people in Ziyang Town that there would be no strange things happening at night from now on.Le Yue waved his hand, letting him go without saying for now.

Zhao Yuan was puzzled again, Lin Qing knocked it on the head and said: "You are stupid, we must stay in Ziyang Town to wait for the news today, so let's earn another night's wages by the way, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Zhao Yuan suddenly realized.When eating breakfast, it deliberately ate very little, and gave Yingze all the oil cakes and tea eggs it had allocated. After Yingze finished eating to his satisfaction, he quietly asked him: "Is there any trick like practicing magic?" , can you become smarter?"

Ying Ze looked at it seriously, and his expression rarely became distressed: "There is no special trick to what you asked, and you can only understand it by yourself. And you are born with deficiencies, and the realm of others will be lower than others the day after tomorrow." Ying Ze tiptoed He kicked his feet and patted Zhao Yuan's head kindly, "Work hard, I believe in you. Once you understand the meaning of the word insidious, you are expected to achieve something."

insidious?This does not seem to be a good word, phoenix is ​​very insidious.Zhao Yuan, who wanted to be an upright dragon, was once again confused and entangled.

In the evening, the most beautiful boy in Ziyang Town entrusted a yamen servant with a message: "The paper figurines you laid in Ma Fu's coffin are tied up."

The more joyful the joy, Xiaofa actually settled his father, Mafu.

Xiaofa's way to deal with Ma Fu is very simple.From the one hundred Wen, he used ten or twenty Wen as capital, and bought half a catty of pig ears, and two catties of burning knives. muttering to himself in a chair.

Xiaofa said: "My father has drunk so much, if you ask him where the money is hidden, he will tell you."

Le Yue dragged a chair, sat next to Ma Fu, and tried to ask, "Do you know a man named Li Ting?"

Ma Fu turned his distracted eyes: "Li Ting? Li Ting... Li Ting!" He suddenly jumped up from his chair, overturned the table, picked up the chair and threw it hard on the table: "Li Ting! Li Ting !DAMN HE!! DAMN THEM!!! THAT PEOPLE! DAMN THEM ALL!!!!"

The chair was smashed to pieces, and Ma Fu sat slumped on the ground, tears criss-crossing: "The leading general said...because Li Ting lives in our inn, everyone in the inn will die...in this city, anyone who has come into contact with Li Ting's...will die. The boss...the boss's wife...everyone is dead. Li Ting deserves to die! Those people deserve to die even more! If I hack Li Ting to death before he stays in the store, we don't have to accompany him in the whole city Dead!...they deserve to die!..."

The world is cold, Le Yue doesn't know where he is, he can't help shivering all over his body.

Zhaoyuan clenched his fists, it felt as if it had fallen into the ice of thousands of years, and a coldness seeped out from the cracks in the bones.

That's right, people with the blood of the He clan's royal family have been hidden among the people for more than 100 years, how could Phoenix not notice it.To kill the rebel king Bailiqi, why kill the whole city.

Le Yue's feet were hot, and the blood from decades ago burned in the ground, scorching his feet.

One of the culprits who killed the people of Tucheng was actually himself.

Le Yue didn't earn another night's wages.

After leaving Ma Fu's house, he left Ziyang Town straight away.He was a little afraid to stay in this city.More than ten years ago, the blood of the whole city would come out of the ground and drown him.

The light of the setting sun was so thick that it was dazzling, and even the color of the clouds seemed to have been stained with blood.

Le Yue walked forward numbly, Zhao Yuan, Luo Lingzhi and Lin Qing followed silently.

Le Yue walked under a tree, punched the tree hard, and clenched his teeth.

Ying Ze raised his hands, and said calmly: "When I was a general in the Heavenly Court, it was the time of the battle between immortals and demons. I thought I had friendship with Li Yan, and I wanted to let him live, and told him that if he went to the southwest, , there is still room to save my life. As a result, he used this accident to cast doubts, lured me into a trap, and lost 30 of my heavenly soldiers. How many people are there in your city, and there is the Palace of Yama to reincarnate them, and that The 30 heavenly soldiers were all wiped out. If you want to be a leader and a hero, you must not only bear your own life, but also the lives of others. The higher the position, the more lives you have to bear. You can only bear your own life. , is mediocrity, can bear countless lives, is a hero."

Lin Jing said: "Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Le Yuejiu. It was Fenghuang and the emperor who killed the people in that city. Le Yue's parents were also killed innocently. They didn't know that they had anything to do with the royal family, let alone Thinking of threatening the throne" From ancient times to the present, the struggle around the throne has been bloody, and there are many descriptions of it in storytellers and dramas, so Le Yue has always understood it very well.

However, one day, when such a thing was related to him, he still felt different. A voice not far above his head said: "The one who led the troops into Tucheng that day was King Anshun."

Lin Jing turned her head, and Sun Ben was standing on a tree branch not far away, Shi Shiran folded his arms: "Brother Le, you want to be the emperor, I want military power, our enemies are the imperial court, wouldn't it be better to cooperate with each other ?”

Lin Jing wrinkled her nose: "Le Yue is too lazy to talk to you." She took out the money she received and raised it, "Hey, return it to you, thank you yesterday."

Sun Ben had a bold expression: "Miss, you can talk to me. You don't have to thank me."

Lin Jing didn't bother to talk to him anymore, the flying pioneer flapped his wings and flew over, took the string of money from Lin Jing's hand, then stretched out his monkey paw, and grabbed Lin Jing's shoulder like lightning.

Lin Jing was not on guard against the monkey for a moment, Fei Xianfeng grabbed her hair with a fan, and quickly backed away, Lin Jing was glowing red all over, and several strands of her hair had already been grabbed by Fei Xianfeng.

Sun Ben smiled and took Lin Jing's hair from Fei Xianfeng's monkey paw: "Girl, I heard that as long as you eat the beard and hair scales of the Qilin God, you can become a person protected by it. I don't know if this legend is true. ..." Satisfied, he slowly put the strands of hair into his mouth and swallowed.

Lin Jing was burning with raging flames, and suddenly pulled Luo Lingzhi who was beside her, and stuffed something into his mouth at an unimaginable speed.At this time, a stream of black blood suddenly spewed out from Sun Ben's mouth, and he swayed and fell straight from the tree.

Fei Xianfeng screamed and jumped to his side.

Lin Jing raised her chin, and smiled coldly: "A mere mortal, actually trying to control the Maid God? This little lesson has already made me feel compassionate. From now on, Luo Lingzhi will be protected by me." People like you, never dream about it!"

Sun Ben's face was ashen, and he propped himself up on the ground with his arms, and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth: "A person without a pulse protector, can't he be a hero? Is there a kind of prince and general?" He was really embarrassed to say this.

Lin Jing said: "The robbers who dig graves dare to call themselves heroes. If you want a good sword, you have to dig people's graves and steal it."

Sun Ben actually smiled: "Girl, my father pointed out to me to inherit that sword since I was born. In order to avenge my revenge, I couldn't help alarming my father, and took out the sword that originally belonged to me. Can you afford to steal a word?"

The sneer at the corner of Lin Jing's mouth froze, Le Yue's eyes slowly converged.

Sun Ben pressed his chest, supported the tree to stand up slowly, turned and walked to the distance.Only one sentence remained: "It's up to this point, it's okay to tell you, my surname is Baili, Bailiqi's son, Bailifang."

On the eighth day of April in the 11th year of Ningrui, the prince and Zhen returned to Beijing.

The prince's canonization ceremony, which was originally scheduled to be held at the end of March, was delayed until April [-]th because the prince was looking for medicinal materials for the emperor.

The Manchu Dynasty highly praised the prince for his filial piety, and he will surely be a virtuous king in the future.

Emperor Chongde and Shao had already written their will.When he made the edict, all the ministers, court ladies and eunuchs around him fell to the ground and cried, and in a blink of an eye they praised the prince for being a wise king in the future.

He Shao understands that he only has this "tomorrow" left for people to look forward to.Recently, he has been coughing more and more every day, and the so-called "tomorrow" is approaching him step by step.

After the prince returned to Beijing, in order to let him get acquainted with political affairs as soon as possible, there were many memorials, which have been sent to him for approval.It didn't matter to He Shao, anyway, he seldom read memorials before, and in the past year, ministers rarely sent memorials to him.

The weather was getting hotter, and when he went to the porch to look at the scenery, there was still a thick mattress on the rug.He Shao watched the butterflies flying around the flowers, and felt a little drowsy. The maids and eunuchs who served on the left and right all retreated under his orders, leaving only one or two by his side. He Shao heard someone whispering softly: "The emperor ,emperor."

He opened his eyes, and saw the little eunuch who was left kneeling and kowtowing: "Your Majesty, there is an adult who has important matters related to the country and the country, and he wants to report to the Emperor."

If not, advise him to abdicate at this time and let the dragon robe throne be given to the prince.He Shao nodded in agreement.After a while, the little eunuch came over with a man in official uniform, looking around vigilantly all the way, as if he was afraid of being discovered.The man knelt down in front of the couch, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, my minister is Yi Zheng Nian, I have an important matter to report to the Emperor. I ask the Emperor to abolish the Crown Prince Mu Zhen for the sake of the country and society. He must not stand."

He directly called the prince by his real name, obviously he really hated him deeply, He Shao wanted to laugh: "Mu Zhen has been designated as the prince for a long time, and the proposal for this matter started more than a year ago, if you want to dissuade him, why wait until today?"

Zheng Nian prostrated himself in the tunnel and said: "The minister of the day before yesterday was looking through the old Japanese books, and accidentally discovered something. He didn't dare to let the Mu party know, so he secretly met the saint. The emperor must not make Mu Zhen the crown prince. If Mu Zhen wins the throne, I will definitely agree." The dynasty must perish."

On April [-]th, Le Yue and his party finally arrived at Jiuyi, the seat of the Prince's Mansion in West County.

There is still more than a month before the princess invites relatives, and Jiuyi City is already heavily guarded.On the main road leading to the city gate, there are young men in light clothes with two or three entourages coming and going.

These teenagers are actually walking, no one is riding a horse, let alone a car, and most of them are dressed in light colors.It seems that the princess doesn't like extravagant hobbies, and everyone knows it.

Everyone who enters the city gate must first explain his name and purpose to the guards.Standing inside the door are officials who know guests. Anyone who wants to participate in the princess's marriage invitation will be led by the officials to live in a special hotel in the city.

Because of this, there was a long queue at the gate of the city.Zhao Yuan looked up at the tall city wall of Jiuyi beside Le Yue to relieve his boredom, his neck was sore, they had just arrived in front of the city gate.The guard stopped Le Yue.Asked about the origin of the name, Le Yue said: "The few of us are here to see the princess to recruit relatives."

The guards looked at him up and down: "You don't need to be humble when you come to recruit relatives, just take a look. Recently, there are more and more of you. When you look at you, you know that you want to marry the princess." Xiang Zhaoyuan, Luo Ling Zhi and Ying Ze pointed, "Are these people your followers, or are you here together?"

Le Yue was about to explain when there was a commotion behind him.

The sound of horseshoes and rolling wheels came from far to near, Le Yue and everyone looked around the sound, and saw eight horses pulling a Chinese chariot rolling in the dust, surrounded by several black-armored cavalry guards.

Everyone was talking about it immediately, it wasn't some half-baked fool who was playing tricks at this marriage recruitment meeting, the first one to be kicked out must be this person.Until people with discerning eyes recognized the decorations on the chariot and the black-armored elite cavalry just like Le Yue.

"It's Dingnan Palace!"

The carriage bypassed the crowd and drove straight to the city gate. The brocade curtains of the carriage were raised, and the young man who got off was dressed in a richly patterned costume, with a tortoiseshell jade crown on his head, gold ornaments on his belt and a huge The sapphires shone dazzlingly in the sun.

The young man quickly opened a folding fan with white jade bones and lacquered peony face, and gently fanned it, so rich and noble that it was extremely dazzling.

Because the jade crown occupied the top of his head, the tortoise lay on his shoulder instead, dozing off calmly.

Le Yue Zhaoyuan's eyes were dazzled by him, and he didn't dare to go there for a while.

Lin Jing said to herself: "My God, why is Du Ruyuan acting like a male peacock? He went to Tianzhu recently?"

The jeweled Prince Du strolled towards them in a leisurely courtyard. The guards and Zhike officials in front of the city gate rushed forward to stop them. For the time being, move to the back line."

Du Ruyuan waved his folding fan and said, "Well, this time I'm not here to visit thousands of scenery, and secondly, I'm not participating in recruiting relatives, but serving as a follower for someone else, so do I need to line up?"

Zhike official wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves up and said, "This...no, sir, just go with the people who are with you. It's just..."

It's just, what kind of status is it that can make Dingnan Prince's son a follower.

Could it be... the prince?Du Ruyuan closed his folding fan and pointed in a certain direction, "I'm here to be a follower for Mr. Le. Now I can enter the city soon."

Le Yue felt countless sharp eyes piercing him, and his body suddenly seemed to be pierced with ten thousand wheatgrass.

The shiny Du Ruyuan walked up to him with a shiny smile on his face: "It's a coincidence that I caught up with you at the gate of the city."

The resort in the city is a rather large mansion for those who are going to recruit relatives, it looks like a private house.No matter how high or low their status is, everyone who participates in recruiting relatives can only live in two rooms, one big and one small connected together. The big one is the master bedroom, and the small one is the servant room.

The Zhike official tremblingly led Le Yue and the others to such a dormitory, saying: "These are all prepared for those students who are waiting to be selected. It would be rude, the humble official will report to the superior as soon as possible, and arrange another room for the few of you." .”

Du Ruyuan shook his fan and said, "No need, since participation should be completely fair. These two rooms can accommodate the few of us."

The Zhike official secretly looked at the dozen or so black-armored attendants outside the door: "But, these few..."

Du Ruyuan said: "They can just find an inn in the city to live in. It's not a violation of the regulations, is it?"

Zhike official quickly said: "It's not counting." He said a lot of words of sincerity and fear, and walked out the door.

Lin Jing said: "Okay, nerd, this time the score is big enough, but this way, Le Yue looks even more unusual, very good."

Du Ruyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess Lin, for your compliment. By the way, I don't know if you have found your hero in troubled times, my future colleague?"

Lin Jing raised her hand to Luo Lingzhi: "It's him."

Luo Lingzhi showed a faint smile and nodded in respect to Du Ruyuan.

Du Ruyuan looked him up and down in surprise: "Unexpectedly, it was Brother Luo, hehe, I said why Princess Lin always disliked you, so that's the case." The tortoise on Du Ruyuan's shoulder also opened its small eyes and glanced at Luo. Ling Zhi.

Lin Jing raised her cheeks.

Du Ruyuan looked at Le Yue again: "I just wanted to ask why Le Shaoxia and Zhao Yuan looked so sluggish, especially Brother Le, it's very unusual."

Le Yue forced a smile dryly.

Lin Jing said: "Oh, don't mention it..." She was about to describe all the things along the way with Du Shudai.A servant from the hotel knocked on the door respectfully, brought a lacquer box, and asked the prince-in-law to take a bath before being elected.
