Crown Sword

Three days later, the award ceremony was held, and Qintian supervised it. This is a rare auspicious day for several months.

"The flags of righteousness are gathered, and the crime lies with Yuanxian. The Taifu has other teachings, and he relieved the strictness of the armor, and used righteousness. He was specially promoted to the prime minister, the general Baikui, and Zier was ordered to serve in the middle and the military, the prime minister, and the secretary. , Yangzhou Mu, lead the governor of Xuzhou, and added 20 fake Huangyue, Yubao, Banjian, left and right Changshi, Sima, and Engaged Zhonglang, and 200 Jiazhang to the hall. (Note)”

Yi's decree was handed down, rewarding and preparing vehicles, crossing Yudao Chang Street, and arriving at Huan's mansion. Looking at the mighty convoy, Cao Shiyin suddenly sighed: "Is this really His Majesty's order?"

The leader of the team who announced the decree was Xiao Huangmen who had a quick meeting in front of the Tai Chi Hall that day. He was small in stature, but his voice was surprisingly clear.Chao Chen supported the railing on the second floor, raised his chin toward the small yellow door: "Did you find out about this person?"

"Yes!" Cao Shiyin said solemnly, "Madam Tuoyu's relationship is said to be that she did not serve in the Taiji Hall before, but has been serving in the Huiyin Hall. She was only transferred here recently. Are you afraid of collusion?"

Chao Chen's eyes froze: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I must!"

——If it is true that he is holding the Son of Heaven, then Huan Xuan is very likely to correct the imperial edict!

These battles and awards are almost equivalent to the supervision of the country, the prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, and the Yangzhou Mu and Xuzhou governors almost control the most important military power in the eight counties of Jiangzuo.Chao Chen tightened his cloak, and decided that he could not sit still and wait for death, he had to find a way to contain the Huan family, and he couldn't repeat the same mistakes that Huan Wen had when he was so powerful, and he couldn't let him become the second Sima Daozi.

The people who joined in the fun chased after the rear of the car and gradually walked away. Seeing that Chao Chen hadn't moved yet, Cao Shiyin asked first, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Huan Mansion for a banquet first?"

Chao Chen shook his head, held his hand tightly, and looked earnestly and firmly: "Brother Cao, do you know why I decided to ask you to come this time? You used to have a close relationship with Mrs. Yu? Find a way to follow this person, and it's best to find him." The evidence proves the false edict, once you get it, don’t make it public, I have my own arrangements, and now I will go to the city gate to hold them back."

The so-called celebration day was also the day Sima Daozi was exiled.

Cao Shiyin took the order to leave, Chao Chensheng was disappointed, and faced the cold wind with a blank face, only thinking that the Jin family had a hundred years of history, and could no longer withstand the falling sky and falling stars.

Jiang Zuo suffered from Sima Daozi and his son for a long time. Seeing him subdue the law, the people in Jiankang cheered and ran around shouting, calling Huanxuan a hero, and even many tourists from the rivers and lakes traveled thousands of miles to watch. One piece is comparable to the grand occasion of burning fireworks in the palace and celebrating with the people in the Shangyuan Festival.

Compared with those simple smiles from the heart, the different expressions on the city are wonderful.

Among the people who came to watch the ceremony, there were hundreds of officials. Among them, the faces of the Huan family who had been in trouble with the Huan family were as green as if they had eaten flies. The Wang and Xie families who prevented Huan Wen from seizing power were much more stable, but after the ancestors passed away, the younger generations The disciples all sighed, seeing the mighty power, incompetent and helpless, the more aggressive tempered, cursing in their hearts: He should leave the family!

There is another big event today.

The servants in the palace raised their voices and read out the imperial edict to exile King Ji to a place of bitter cold to warn the world.

The people downstairs immediately became angry.

Squinting his eyes, the expression on the face of the drowsy son of the gentry eased, and he suddenly felt relieved. The victory of the Huan family seemed to indicate the victory of the aristocratic family.

Sima Daozi, who had been smashed with a few vegetable leaves and two rotten eggs, suddenly pointed his finger at the sky and cursed: "You say I'm in disorder, and there's evidence! I belong to the Sima family, so what's wrong with him! He Huan Jingdao led the troops to openly surround Jian Kang Gong, he is the traitor!"

Huanxuan was awarded the title, but he hadn't climbed the building yet, but several generals under his command heard the truth on the spot, and they blushed with anger.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, another clear male voice flew over, swearing off King Kuaiji's curse: "You waste time on music, believe in slander and flattery, and kill loyal and good people. ! As for General Huan, on the side of the Qing emperor, he distinguishes loyalty from traitors, obeys the public and abides by discipline. How can he talk about rebellion?

The person who came was "Snow Friends Layman" Su Wu.

At this time, the children in the crowd suddenly sang "Poetry in the Cloud" as if they had made an appointment: "The king is intoxicated, and the school's life is taken lightly. Catch the thief for thousands of years, and interfere with the government of Henan. (Note 2)"

Sima Daozi couldn't argue with him, and his anger was stagnant. Su Wu took advantage of the fact that the master of the Emperor Shige was injured and disappeared, and Huan Xuan's supporters were self-respecting. , exposing Sima Daozi's evil deeds in the past, and then directly announced that everyone in Nayuntai took refuge in Huanxuan.

"Everyone, open your eyes and take a good look!"

Su Wu clapped his hands, and the bloody evidence was lowered from the city gate, until it rolled down to the feet of the people in the front row. Everyone looked up, immediately filled with shock and anger.It was the people in Jiankang City who were angry, but those who were astonished were the high-flyers from the Nanwulin who were on the sidelines. They were originally attracted by the reputation of Lord Dongwu, and they were extremely disturbed by this sudden standing in line.

Sima Daozi's veins twitched violently, as if he wanted to crush his silver teeth: "Su Wu, you're doing me a favor!"

"What do you mean by that?" Su Wu smiled slightly, "King Kuaiji, please don't spout blood. Which of the above-mentioned clauses is your fault? But you, Your Highness, have repeatedly used threats and lures to lure me into taking the people in Yuntai. We mediate from it, I am afraid that I will be a dead soul under the knife, and now I bear the humiliation and bear the burden of collecting evidence, just to make it clear to the public. To the people of the world!"

Chao Chen went upstairs, heard that speech, couldn't believe his ears, rushed forward, pulled his raised arm down, and said in a voice that could be heard by both of them: "I don't know that the layman is trying to do something! Okay, Even so, Sima Daozi deserved what he deserved. As for Huan Xuan, he is not a member of the clan after all. He had the tragic disaster of "the king and the horse share the world" before, and Huan Wen wanted to add Jiuxi later, covering the sky with one hand, isn't it..."

Su Wu gently pressed his hand, the smile on his face remained undiminished, but his eyes were as cold as ice, he suddenly pushed Chao Chen out, interrupted his words, and shouted: "Pull up! "

The soldiers on the side escorted out two people, seeing that they were wearing black clothes and carrying a long bow, they were clearly Fanxi and Ying Wuxin who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Your Majesty, does this look familiar?"

Su Wu smiled and observed his sudden change of expression, and then gave a glance to the soldiers of the Huan Army, who immediately explained: "In recent years, spies from other countries with ulterior motives have often traveled to Jin, All the righteous men in Nayuntai worked together to resolve the crisis and smash the conspiracy, these two are the leaders of foreign bandits, as far as the officials know, they are the dead men under Fu Qin's command."

"I recognize Fei Yu. I heard that there used to be an intelligence-gathering organization in Qin State called 'Mustard Dust Network'!"

"Old man Fu Jian, he will make trouble even after he dies!"

"Kill them and sacrifice to me Dajin Jiangshan!"

When Fu Jian went south, the people of Jianghuai could still vividly remember the scene of millions of soldiers throwing their whips to cut off the flow. The move of Liu Xing to take advantage of the Emperor Shige's funeral and pick up the mountain gate was also a heart disease for many years in the Jianghu people. At first glance, "mustard dust" net", that was a blowout.

This time, it was Chao Chen who grabbed Su Wu with his backhand.

Fang wanted to answer, there was another sound from the side of the parapet, this time Huanxuan changed into light armor, dressed in a gown crown uniform, striding forward with great momentum, he said coldly: "You should be killed!"

Su Wu left Chao Chen behind, turned his head and saluted, "Prime Minister."

Huan Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the layman say that if there is a big gift for this official, this is a gift?"

"Of course not." Su Wu let it go, and waited until his appetite was whetted, then he stepped back and gave way: "I'm not talented, and I don't have the ability to govern the country, but I am lucky to find Jiang Mu, the successor of the counselor Zhang Bin." Slave, Zhang Bin's nickname is 'There is no strategy left behind, and there is no false opportunity', presumably holding his posthumous book, he will become a good general of Zuosuke."

He leaned forward and said in Huanxuan's ear, "Help the prime minister to unify the rivers and mountains, and the northern countries are no more than a mere trifle."

Jiang Munu, Jiang Munu...

Chao Chen felt cold, and when he thought of Gongyang Qi's words, his face turned blue. It was unbelievable that the leader of the "Pojun" who they had been looking for for so long had established himself in such an upright manner. He didn't even want to turn his neck to look at Silun The people in the car were slowly pushed over.

He's still a cripple with a broken leg!

Huan Xuan laughed loudly, took a deep look at Su Wu, then turned his gaze to the dazed Chao Chen, and finally landed on Jiang Munu: "Wen has this son, and Wu has Dongwu Jun, so it must be possible to protect the country. long..."

As for which country it is, it is hard to say.

The four-wheeled vehicle passed by Chao Chen, and Jiang Munu smiled warmly like a spring breeze, not a demonstration, but rather pity, the ferocious face was not so scary, the whole person seemed to be kind and gentle.Chao Chen didn't want to look at each other, but he couldn't help looking at those eyes and the leaf knife he was playing with repeatedly in his hand.

There is a gap in the knife edge, and a layer of ocher red is condensed on the gap, like blood and cinnabar.

The knife is really familiar, but there is no one who can use it.

Su Wu didn't know when he stood behind Chao Chen, turned sideways and whispered, "You wouldn't have stood here at first, but who told you that you were lucky enough to kill Ding Baichuan. It is said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune. Good luck." Enjoy yourself, Your Majesty, I know you are full of doubts, but you should know less about what you shouldn't know, as long as you do what I say, just like when you were married at the seaside, I will guarantee you wealth and honor from now on, and enjoy it for a hundred years."

Chao Chen turned around and sneered, "I really regret that I saved you in that shipwreck."

Su Wu was still smiling, the past is past, and he doesn't care about the things he can't change no matter what he says, so he made a pleading gesture with his hand: "Your Majesty, go, the one over there Put a handprint name and surname on the alliance letter."

Chao Chen remained motionless, looking for Cao Shiyin in the crowd.

"Even if you don't care about your own life, don't you care about them?" Su Wu bit his finger, grabbed his hand, and angrily wiped his blood on his thumb, "As long as you write a letter on the alliance letter, You can save their lives, and if you randomly pick a death row prisoner in the prison, you can reap the benefits, and I don’t have that much grudge against the 'Mustard Dust Net', it's up to you to kill or not."

Chao Chen closed his eyes and still didn't move. He couldn't help thinking, maybe someone who knows the current affairs is a hero, but in life, one should have a style and integrity. Back then, he set up Nayuntai to practice martial arts, and to join the hairpin family. So good at taking care of it that he was controlled by thieves, now that God taught him to return, he is still alive, and he must not be allowed to become a tool for Su Wujinchan to escape.

Take the cloud platform to be attached to the powerful, if you miss it once, you can't make a second mistake, otherwise, he would rather let go of the dream of having three thousand diners!

Su Wu saw that he was stubborn, and became furious, and made another ruthless move.Just look at him nodding his head with Huan Xuan, clapping two palms again, and said to the wind rider below the city: "Bring it up."

On a shelf supported by two bamboo poles, lay a corpse wrapped in red. The corpse was swollen by the sea water, and its long hair was tangled. The knife mark on it was almost definitely the Ram Moon.

Even though a person can confuse a fake with a real one, a sword cannot. Xia Houzhen forged the "Merry Boneless", and he never left his body for a moment. If Gong Yangyue was still alive, why didn't he try his best to get it back?

Chao Chen's mind was blank, his ears were ringing, and he threw himself forward unconsciously, to the edge of the wall, half of his body almost sticking out.

Su Wu pulled hard, and while everyone's eyes were attracted by the corpse, he pulled him back, and whispered: "Man, I have caught it a long time ago, but I have never reported it, just to wait for today, why, does your lord regret it?" ? Regret for killing him? Which is more profound than regret for saving me?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Of course it's resentment for grievances, revenge for revenge, tell me, how many people in Jiangnan hate him, probably more than 48 villages?" Su Wu pursed his lips and smiled creepily.

Even though the corpse was deodorized with herbs, it still exuded a bad smell, and the people who watched in front of it didn't consciously retreat, but the gangsters pushed forward, pointing and comparing the clothes and the silver sword.Chao Chen's eyes flew out of the city, and sure enough, he found many children of the 48 Swordsman's family in front of him. Among the crowd, these people were the most powerful, mobilizing all their emotions.

Listening to the echoes that kept coming in, I'm afraid these people have already been bribed.

Chao Chen was trembling with anger.

Huan Xuan on the other side withdrew his gaze and turned to look for Su Wu, but he was not happy or angry.When he came out of the battlefield, he didn't shy away from corpses, but today was his reward ceremony after all. He was really not happy about such a collision. He needed a reasonable explanation: "Layman, what does this mean?"

Su Wu let go of Chao Chen's hand, and bowed to Huan Xuan: "This is an explanation to the world with the cloud platform, and it is also a bargaining chip given to the prime minister to defeat the enemy." At this point, he glanced to the left and right, and walked away Going forward, lowering the volume of the voice, avoiding the left and right obviously, "I heard that this son has something to do with Princess Dingxiang of the Wei State, and he has made great contributions to saving the King of Wei. If he makes good use of it, it may be a good idea. Waiting for the master to die is also reassuring."

Huan Xuanlue pondered for a while, and replied: "If you have the heart, I have a layman to assist me, which can be said to be like a tiger with wings." Then he gave way to him, and someone handed over the letter of alliance, and then invited Wang Mi to talk, as if he was happy to watch the show.

Su Wu took a step forward, and said loudly: "Gongyangyue has done many evils. Dongwu Lord was entrusted to capture the thief back then, and now he is killing the devil as promised. This is a great fortune! As for this evil thief, he killed people like hemp before he was alive, but after death... He paused, looked back at Chao Chen, and said silently with his mouth, "Do you think it's better to gouge out the heart or whip the corpse?"

"no, do not want!"

He squeezed his palms tightly and walked forward quickly. When he passed by Jiang Munu, he swung his wheels to give way, and asked meaningfully: "You can't hold your breath so soon?"

Chao Chen ignored it, walked up to the attendant who presented the object, and grabbed the pen in anger.Maybe it was because the movement was too big, the boy didn't stand firm, staggered, and dropped the things hidden in his sleeves.

The thing was sticking to the feet, and Chao Chen lowered his eyes and moved around, it was an old gossip mirror.

"Give."

Chao Chen calmed down, knelt down to pick it up kindly, and handed it back to him. The boy crouched down to hold it, thanked him repeatedly, and unfolded the book of alliance for him.

"Your Majesty, let's write."
