Lei Yue Longmen

Cen Zhu didn't know why he was going to Xiao Jingfeng, so he followed him.Don't dare to get too close, Tu Yuanshan is one of Yurui's top generals, and his ability to capture "enemy situation" is sharper than leopards.

Seeing him going west after going up the mountain, which was the wrong direction Cen Zhu went in the morning, he wondered to himself if he was going to the cabin?Suddenly, Tu Yuanshan turned his head and glanced back. Cen Zhu thought he had discovered it, and hurriedly crawled behind the bushes, his heart almost jumped out of shock.

After she lay on her stomach and breathed dozens of times, she ate all the dust on the ground.Slowly bowing and looking out of the cluster, where is there? There is the shadow of Tu Yuanshan!

Oops, lost track!

Cen Zhu got up and thought about it, the direction he was going was after all going to the cabin, why not go there and try.But he was worried that he would hit Tu Yuanshan head-on, so he took a long detour from memory and reached the back of the cabin.

She squatted against the wall of the wooden house, and above her head was a window, which was opened when she lit the fire in the morning, and was not closed.I vaguely heard the sound of branches being snapped from inside the house, and someone was lighting a fire inside.Cen Zhu didn't dare to look inside, the cold winter weather made his inner shirt drenched with sweat.

After a while, I heard another footstep, walking towards the cabin. The footsteps were very steady, and it must be a burly man.Cen Zhu glanced quietly, and saw that this person was really tall and straight, but his appearance was young, no more than 30 years old.And there is still a heavy package hanging on his body.

Afterwards, two more people came one after another. They were both of medium build, and one of them had a slightly bigger head. They were both around forty years old.Several people came from different directions, but they all gathered in the log cabin as if they had made an appointment.

"On the fourteenth day of next month, the holy driver will go to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven. It's a good time to start a riot."

"What riot? There is no riot! Do you still want to rebel?"

"It's not a rebellion, it's asking the emperor to agree to rule the four borders! Don't you think so?"

There were two people in the room arguing, and the ambitious young man seemed to stand up all of a sudden, walking around the room and saying: "In recent years, the imperial court has hidden intentions to cut off the military power in the four borders. How many of you are in the army? I was appointed as a partisan of the imperial court. I heard that three generations of my family have guarded the South Gate and made great contributions to maintaining the peace in southern Xinjiang. The result?! The imperial court took advantage of my father’s sick bed and replaced all of my father’s old troops with imperial court officials. Now half of our soldiers and horses in Southern Xinjiang have been controlled by the imperial court. To put it bluntly, once my father goes west, my Southern Xinjiang Wen family will no longer have a foothold. And once I lose power in Southern Xinjiang, the next one will be It will be your turn, uncles and uncles. Is it not enough to wake up the seniors?"

Cen Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he heard that the other party turned out to be Nanjiang Wen's family.She had heard that Wen Fengju in Nanjiang had been lingering on the sick bed for a long time, and there was only one old man named Wen Xibao under her knees.Listening to his tone, there is even a hint of dissatisfaction with the court's power reduction, and the intention to take the opportunity to provoke trouble?

The Southern Xinjiang Wen Family is the weakest of the four Xinjiang. Of course, the imperial court will pick up the weak persimmons and attack them first.In order to keep his own side, this guy actually wanted to persuade the other three families to commit chaos together, really?

The voice of another spy said: "Master Wen has a good plan. If you rule the four borders and rule the land, you will gain the most? It will be your Wen family. The Wen family is far away in the southern border. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since ancient times, it has been rare to become the king in southern Xinjiang. There have been unsuccessful ones. But we are different. The Cheng family in the southwest may be able to rule the roost for a while by virtue of the richness of the land of Shu and the natural danger of Shu Mountain, but Yurui has been established for a long time. It may not be easy to rule the roost forever with the support of the people.

In the northwest of our country, not only is the land barren, but we also need to defend against powerful enemies, which requires a steady stream of supplies from the imperial court, so it is impossible to rule by painting the land.At that time, if the imperial court and the four borders turn against each other, then who will support the elite soldiers under my lord? "

Cen Zhu heard that although his voice was treacherous, his reasoning was strong. From his tone, he could tell that he was an aide of the Northwest Zhou family. When these generals were not in Beijing, they would usually entrust the secrets of Beijing and China to trusted aides.What he expressed should be what Zhou Hanshan meant.

The Cheng family also sent an aide, who was the one who argued with Wen Xibao earlier.He said: "That's right, today is my lord's brother-in-law, and I, Cheng Jiajun, will be loyal to the imperial court wholeheartedly, and will never do anything against you?"

Seeing that neither of them supported it, Wen Xibao turned his attention to Tu Yuanshan in the north again.He looked at the fire without moving, and has not said a word so far.

"Dingguohou, the northern border is the head of the four borders and the key to the country. What will happen today? Whether or not it will be up to you."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Cen Zhu put his ear under the window, and suddenly heard a strange sound of branches behind him.

"Who!" The four people in the room suddenly started up, and Cen Zhu reacted very quickly, and immediately rushed to the other side of the wooden house.A person jumped out of the window, landed on the ground, and ran towards the woods behind the house.If Cen Zhuo was still under the window at this time, he would definitely be caught.

"Yes? Did you find anyone?"

A voice came from the door to the back of the house, and the other party shook his head, "No!"

"This is strange, who could it be?"

"Huh? There are? Footprints here! There must have been? Someone was here before!"

"Is there any reason for this! This thief, if the young master catches him, he must be killed."

At this moment, Tu Yuanshan turned around and rushed in one direction.Everyone looked at each other and followed suit one after another.

Cen Zhu was taken aback, thinking that they were chasing him.He was about to run wildly, but there was no sound of footsteps? He came towards him, but went away from him.

She secretly wondered, could there be someone else around here?Seeing all the people coming out in full force, she moved around from the side of the house to the door.

He lowered himself into the log cabin, and saw that the fire was still burning, surrounded by four low stools.There was another package next to the low stool near the door.As soon as her eyes lit up, she was about to open the package.At this time, I heard a loud shout from outside, "Or? It's what Ding Guohou said, we can't fall into the enemy's trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

It was too late, Cen Zhu carried the package on his back.Jumping out of the window to escape, she felt something heavy in the package hit her on the back.Now I don't have the intention to explore, use all the strength of my life, run wildly, and run down the other side of the mountain.The two behind were chasing closely, but Cen Zhu knew that Tu Yuanshan was not among them, so he felt a little relieved.

It's getting dark now, and the other party can't see his appearance clearly.She was able to get rid of them by a distance even while running fast, until it was completely dark, and there was no movement behind them.

She had already run down the hill, leaning on her knees, gasping for breath.Now that the gate of the city is closed, it is impossible to go back to the city. It is very cold at night, and there are many wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains. We must find a place to hide as soon as possible.She wanted to go to Qixia Temple to find her master, but when she looked up, the tower on the main peak of Qixia Mountain was far away from her.If you want to go back, you will have to go through the mountains and forests. If you encounter a beast, it will not be worth the loss.

"I ran so far, why don't you feel it at all? Heh~heh~ what should I do now?"

Suddenly, a hand was on his shoulder.Cen Zhu was startled, his entire scalp went numb.

"Master Cen, come with me!"

This voice was not like Tu Yuanshan's, nor was it like any of those four people.Very low, as if separated by a layer or something, Cen Zhu turned his head and saw a masked man in black who had already dodged and walked forward quickly, subconsciously followed him.

"Who are you? Do you know me?" No matter what she asked on the road, he didn't answer.Cen Zhu became more and more surprised, "Is it you who made the noise outside the cabin?"

"No!" he said suddenly.Ling Kong blew a sharp whistle, and there was a sound of horseshoes kicking.The man wanted Cen Zhu to get on the horse, but he didn't get on it himself, and said: "Lord Cen, you ride this horse to the north city gate now, and hand this over to the city guard, he will let you go." He took it out from his bosom Give Cen Zhu a cube-shaped object.Cen Zhu felt that it seemed to be an iron token, touched the temperature of the man's chest, it was warm, and asked: "What about you?"

"I'll break the queen! After Mr. Cen enters the city, be sure to hand over the parcel behind you to the Holy Majesty, and the token can also help you enter the palace! This matter? It's so important, it can't be tolerated? A slight mistake, remember it!" After finishing speaking, a Pumping the horse's buttocks, the horse galloped forward bravely.Cen Zhu leaned back and nearly fell off the horse's back, he quickly clamped the horse's belly and stuffed the token into his bosom.Grabbing the reins, with a "drive", he fled into the night.

After running for about half an hour, I finally saw the outline of Jiankang City.The long spears of the guards on the north tower and the tooth-like crenels are faintly visible.Cen Zhu was so cold that his nose was stuffed up, he could only breathe through his mouth, and drove straight to the north city gate.As the moonlight rose, she took out the iron plate on her chest, and vaguely discerned that the word "Ouchi Imperial Guard" was engraved on one side and the word "white tiger" was engraved on the other side.A tiger's head pattern is engraved on the upper end of the badge, and an iron ring protrudes from the tiger's nose, just like the tiger's head ring on the prison gate.Cen Zhu guessed that the iron ring should be used to hang something.

She has heard long ago that there are four dark guards around the emperor, named after the patron saints of the four directions, named Qinglong, Baihu, Xuanwu, and Suzaku. go without a trace.Could it be that just now? That one is the White Tiger, one of the Four Great Dark Guards?Was he sent by Li Pinghong to monitor Tu Yuanshan and the others?Cen Zhu didn't know what kind of vortex he was involved in. He just felt cold sweat oozing out of his bone-chilling body just now.

As she got closer to the city gate, she suddenly forgot to hang up the package behind her, worrying that it might involve something that the Tu family would be detrimental to Li Jingchen.Rein in the horse, untie the package and examine it.

The first thing that came into view was a large square box. It must have been the thing that hit her back just now. She opened the lid of the box and her face was startled. The engraved characters are indeed Chuan Guo Yuxi, is this true or not?

As the name suggests, the Chuanguo Yuxi is the token of the emperor's passing on the country, which declares that the throne is "ordered by heaven, legal and orthodox".This is the first time for Cen Zhu to see its prototype or model. He had only heard of it before. The Jade Seal of Chuanguo is four inches in size, with five dragons in Shanghai and engraved on the front with the eight seal characters of "Ordered by the sky, long life and eternal prosperity". Isn't this true? Is it engraved with the square seal in your hand?How could it be in Wen Xibao's hands?

Cen Zhu suddenly remembered a legend that when Emperor Qingzong led his army into the imperial city, he immediately searched for the Chuanguo Yuxi, but he searched the entire palace but could not find it.Fortunately, it was seized by the ancestors of the Wen family at that time, and it was immediately dedicated to Qingzong.As a result, he made great contributions and gained a place in the four borders.

Cen Zhu pondered, it was unlikely that Wen's family would transfer the Chuanguo Seal, but they were fully capable of duplicating the Chuanguo Seal.After all, the ancestors of his family had seen the Chuanguo Yuxi with their own eyes, maybe even touched it with their own hands, so it shouldn't be difficult to copy one.But why did he copy the Chuanguo Yuxi?This is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. Could it be that the Wen family really wants to rebel?Just rely on them?

For the time being, Cen Zhu ignored the truth and falsehood, put the jade seal back into the box, and took out a stack of folded papers from the bag.Cen Zhu unfolded the thickest one, and found that it was a city defense map of Jiankang City, and the distribution of troops was clearly marked.Cen Zhu unfolded another one, and saw that it was the defense map of the imperial palace Jiuhua Palace.Others? There are a few defense maps of a certain mansion in a certain corner of the capital. There are those of Prince Cheng's Mansion, Prince Dun's Mansion, and Princess Chang's Mansion... Collecting such a complete collection is to force the palace to take all of them. ?

Wait, why is there no East Palace?

Cen Zhu searched everywhere, but he didn't see any defense map about the East Palace.Aren't they going to deal with Donggong?

Wait, Chuan Guo Yuxi?East Palace?

Could it be that they wanted to force Li Pinghong to step aside and turn around to support Li Jingchen?If Sijiang supported Li Jingchen's ascension to the throne, then Li Jingchen must rely more on Sijiang.Is it true that there is no such thing as conquering the land and ruling it? Possibly.

Does Li Jingchen know about this? Son?

Cen Zhu's heart was full of twists and turns, and he was extremely contradictory.Suddenly, an envelope was found on the innermost side of the package.The envelope is sealed, should it be opened or not?

"Who? Who's where?"

With a sudden shout of harmony, Cen Zhu was jolted up.It turned out that the horse had already been carried to the bottom of the city tower without knowing it.The water of the moat woke her up. Cen Zhu hurriedly packed the bundle, stuffed the envelope into his sleeve, and walked across the suspension bridge with the reins in hand.He took out the iron token and shouted to the city tower: "Ouchi Imperial Guard, please open the city gate."

First, a rope fell from downstairs, asking Cen Zhu to hang the token on it for verification.Cen Zhu got off his horse and walked under the city gate, seeing a silver hook tied to the end of the rope, he immediately understood the other party's intention.Hang the end of the token with the iron ring on the silver hook, and watch the iron plate rise higher and higher.Afterwards, a command came from upstairs after the comparison: "Open the door!" After Cen Zhu rode his horse into the door, the iron plate was shunned down again, and Cen Zhu took the token away.Entered the palace in the same way.

After seeing Li Pinghong, he handed over the package and the iron plate to the imperial court, and explained the reasons behind it, only skipping the meeting with Li Jingchen.

Li Pinghong checked the contents of the package, and his expression remained the same, as if he had expected it in advance.Cen Zhu didn't say much, just covered his mouth and sneezed sullenly.

"Cen Qing has worked hard, let's go to the side hall to rest for a while, and Cai Ya will pass on the imperial physician to Master Cen."

"How much? Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cen Zhu didn't know why Li Pinghong wanted to keep her, and waited in the side hall for two or three quarters.One person announced: "The white tiger is back!"

"Xuan!"

Cen Zhu pricked up his ears and heard the other party panting and panting, as if he was seriously injured.

"Where is Qinglong?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Qinglong died in the line of duty!"

"How did you die?"

"Punched through the heart by Tu Yuanshan!"

Li Pinghong was silent, and Cen Zhu was secretly startled. Qinglong was probably the hidden guard who caused the commotion behind the cabin.If it wasn't for that sound, Cen Zhu would never have noticed that there were other people nearby.Such a first-class master would be pierced by Tu Yuanshan's move...

"Tu Yuanshan is not such an impulsive person." There was something in Li Pinghong's words.

"After Qinglong fought him a few times, he seemed to recognize that Qinglong was..." What?Cen Zhu didn't hear clearly.The voice stopped abruptly, as if it was deliberately interrupted.

After a while, I heard Li Pinghong's voice again, "Qinglong sent a letter saying that Cen Zhuo and the Crown Princess went to Xiao Jingfeng one after the other, and it seems that they are having a tryst. Is it true or not?"

When Cen Zhu heard this, his bones froze and he couldn't move, even his breathing stopped for an instant.

"The other ministers don't know, but I only saw that Master Cen and the Crown Princess did go to Xiaojingfeng, but one went to the wooden house in the west, and the other went to the wooden house in the east. The two places are very different. I didn’t see them interacting. Maybe Qinglong saw it! I found a letter from Qinglong’s body, but it’s been punched into the flesh, wet with blood, and it’s incomplete.”

Cen Zhu sat up startled almost in the dying state, God is sorry to see, it really is a destiny in the dark.If it wasn't for her getting dizzy and going to the wrong place, and? Didn't Li Jingzhu? Touch him, even if she had? Two mouths wouldn't be clear.And what if? Tu Yuanshan hadn't stabbed to death that dark dragon's hidden guard with one punch, maybe he would have confessed his relationship with Li Jingchen.Really? It's dangerous and dangerous!Fortunately, there is no danger!

Having said that, why does Tu Yuanshan have more? How about killing Li Pinghong's hidden guards in one fell swoop?Isn't this a waste of time? Isn't it a big deal?It seemed out of character for him.
