Devil’s Advent

Chapter 624 One Hand

To the south of Shangjing City in Qian State, there is a mountain, which the people of Qian State call Houhai;

On this mountain, spring is warm and flowers bloom all year round. It can be said to be the magic of heaven and earth. The sea of flowers is also the sea;

But in the general perception of the common people, it is still because they feel that the people who live on that mountain are gods, and when the gods travel, they are naturally misty clouds, and where the gods live, they are naturally shrouded in clouds and mists, so it is called Houhai.

But dry state officials,

For example, the officials of the Qian State, Yao Zizhan, etc., and people from other countries all call that place Houshan.

Because they know that there is only one mountain in that place; they also know that there are no gods in that place, only a group of alchemists.

The difference in title also reflects the difference in their attitudes.

The current acting head teacher of Houshan is Mr. Xundao, who likes to wear white clothes, and he doesn't take much care of affairs. In fact, although Houshan is a place where Qi refiners gather, it is not a sect, nor is it a yamen.

Because it is too close to Shangjing, the court of Qian Kingdom would not allow a rigorous sect composed of Qi refiners to be so close to its capital.

Therefore, Houshan has always been loose but not loose, with rules but not harsh. The disciples also like to travel among the people.

today,

Mr. Xun Dao, who has been in seclusion for a long time, has left the seclusion. His place of seclusion is in a pavilion in the middle of a flower pond in the back mountain. There is a white lotus there.

It is said that

Back then, Master Tibetan went to Yanjing to cut off the dragon's veins. In the end, only a half-closed white lotus was left and was brought back by Baili Sword.

Mr. Xun Dao got into the carriage,

The carriage swayed all the way from the back of the mountain. Driven by a Taoist boy, it entered Shangjing overnight.

Similarly, if Mr. Xun Dao from Houshan wanted to enter Beijing late at night, he would naturally not be stopped by the guards and soldiers with a curfew.

Next,

All the way into the palace, to the Nuan Pavilion, everything went smoothly.

warm outside,

Mr. Xun Dao saw Thyme Orchid sitting there playing chess.

Bailijian doesn't usually stay in Shangjing, but Baili Xianglan leads the silver armor guard. Baili's family is in the south of the Yangtze River, so it can't be regarded as a sect, because it doesn't have many disciples, but it is already a holy land of swordsmanship in Qianguo.

If you want to gain something, you have to lose something at the same time. If you want the Baili family to continue to develop and eventually become the number one family in the world of swordsmanship, you must first submit a vote to the court.

In this world, the most stable relationship is that each takes what he needs.

"Play chess alone?" Mr. Xun Dao asked.

Baili Xianglan stood up, saluted Mr. Xundao, and said lightly, "No."

"Who is that with?"

"Master Yao."

"Master Yao has returned?"

Although Yao Zizhan has resigned as the governor of the three sides and handed over the position to Zu Zhuming, it stands to reason that he will stay in the three sides for a while, one is to facilitate the handover, and the other is to send civil servants to the three sides for the next court , occupying a position.

"This is the chess master Yao left here last winter."

"So, in this game of chess between you and Master Yao, you have hesitated for so long?"

Thyme Orchid shook her head,

"Chess is not a dead game, you can continue to play."

"That?"

"Master Yao promised me that when someone comes to see His Majesty in the Nuan Pavilion, as long as thirty people who are worthy of status ask me about this game of chess, when he comes back, he will make a sword for my Baili family. Seven poems.

You are the twenty-ninth, sir, and I'm almost done. "

"I think Master Yao definitely didn't let you say the rest of the sentence."

"He didn't tell me not to say it, so I said it."

The original good talk,

Daqian Wensheng Yao Zizhan left a chess game in front of the Nuan Pavilion, and the players did not make another chess game for a year.

However, after Thyme Orchid explained, it really made people smile.

"Have you come to see His Majesty, sir?"

"yes."

"His Majesty is waiting for you."

"I know."

"In that case, it doesn't seem to be an important matter, otherwise, the husband wouldn't have the leisure to chat and laugh with me here."

"Don't worry about that, just let me know. The mountains are high and the road is far away, and the days are still long. It's not bad for these two cups of tea."

"That is, sir, is there something for me?"

"I'm looking for your brother. He promised to come to my back mountain to help me in the second half of the year, but right now, it's already snowing."

"It's not the New Year, it's still the second half of the year."

"Where did your brother go?"

"It is said that it is going to sea, and it stands to reason that it will be back soon. My brother Xinnuo will not miss the appointment."

talking,

Thyme Lan pointed to the chess game in front of her,

laughed:

"My brother may be like this game of chess. Before the last two hours of the night of the New Year's Eve, please let the servants go to Wen Bar."

"oh?"

"Because my brother will probably come to the appointment at the last hour.

Baili Sword, Baili Yue;

When I was a child, I read a lot of anecdotes about famous people and aphorisms, and I always found it very interesting.

When I grew up, I saw a lot of celebrities, and I actually felt that it was more interesting. "

"In the world, all you want is to be interesting, to be interesting to yourself, to be interesting to outsiders, to be interesting to future generations, and that's all."

"Sir, it really doesn't seem to matter."

"That year, you led a group of silver-armored masters. If you could bring that child back, nothing would happen today."

"Master Yao said that Tian Wujing of Yan Kingdom is not a reckless man. If he is tied up with his wife and children, he will be obsequious to you. Moreover, I also feel that that child fell into Zheng...hehe, that Yan Pingxihou of the country is more serious for the country of Yan than falling into the hands of our dry people.

With one child, the Jingnan Army cannot be mobilized;

Even if the child is in our hands, we will not be able to mobilize the Jingnan Army, we will only let the Jingnan Army share the same hatred;

And that child is in the hands of Ping Xihou,

he,

It is possible to coerce the son to command the Jingnan Army. "

"But do you know that there are not so many things that should be taken for granted in this world?"

"Ask sir to enlighten me."

"Back then, I made great efforts to attract all the ministers in the court, each with a voice like thunder, and a product like a green pine, but in the end, the iron cavalry of the Yan people still hit the city of Shangjing.

This is the best example.

The year before last, the celestial phenomenon of the four phenomena of starfall appeared, and a star fell in the northeast border. This was also the opportunity for me to enter the palace last time.

At that time,

He is only the chief soldier of Xueguan,

now,

He is already the Marquis of Pingxi of the Yan Kingdom, and the Marquis of Military Merit of the Yan Kingdom. "

"Sir, do you think that the celestial phenomenon that time fell on that Ping Xihou?"

"You don't believe it."

"Yes, people from the Baili family only believe in the sword in their hands."

"hehe."

Mr. Xun Dao smiled and nodded,

road:

"In this world, there are not so many things that are taken for granted. For a hundred years, generations of ministers and officials have believed that reducing the power of generals will ensure long-term peace and stability without turmoil;

In fact, it led to the exhaustion of military equipment in the past few years, not only the north could not hold back the iron hooves of the Yan people, but the land in the southwest was still eroding.

Do you think that child in Pingxihou's hands will become a chaos for the Yan people in the future;

can't say,

In the future, who will lead the army to break through the city wall of Shangjing again, is that Marquis of Pingxi?

Small businessmen, when they do business, no matter how seemingly stable and profitable they are, they have to be careful when they go to bed at night, because they know what it means to be unpredictable, but they can take it for granted to be at ease when governing a big country. Don't you think it's interesting? "

"Sir, there seem to be a lot of words today. Sir, this is the Nuan Pavilion, and this is the official residence. What the gentleman said is no longer a secret, but directly refers to the government."

By implication,

You have crossed the line.

Mr. Xun Dao shook his head,

road;

"Before I entered the back mountain, I sang it in front of Donghua Gate.

I am a scholar, a scholar, what is wrong with saying this? "

Thyme Lan smiled and said, "Sir, are you planning to go down the mountain?"

"If your heart is on the mountain, you will be on the mountain; if your heart is on the mountain, you will be on the bottom of the mountain."

"Panglan understands."

"I'm going to see the official."

"Please sir."

………

Mr. Xun Dao stepped into the Nuan Pavilion,

Inside the warm cabinet,

The official in Taoist robes threw the booklet in his hand at his feet, picked up the tea, and took a sip.

Below the official house, the trembling silver-armored commander--Luo Mingda knelt down.

In fact, Luo Mingda's identity is the same as that of Lu Bing of Yan Kingdom, they are both the emperor's milk brothers.

This is not an excessive coincidence, but an inevitability.

First of all, the emperor is the earliest, the prince, and the prince must have playmates since he was a child. The children of his own nanny often play with the prince. This is the love they grew up with.

Furthermore, the line of wet nurses rose up basically because of her milking the emperor. It can be said that all the glory is concentrated in the emperor, and there is no involvement with other people at all;

The most important thing is, Brother Nai, although they are brothers, they are not related by blood, and those brothers who are related by blood, they have the opportunity to spy on your big treasure.

In ancient times, milk brothers, in fact, were inseparable from Fa Xiaochai.

Mr. Xun Dao stepped forward, picked up the folder, and put it back on the tea table on the left side of the official house.

They are all smart people. This move is enough to explain a lot.

The official's eyes glanced at Mr. Xun Dao and nodded slightly.

Subsequently,

The official yawned,

Pointing to Luo Mingda who was kneeling on the ground,

scolded:

"The nails of the Silver Armored Guards in the southwest were fooled by the natives, and a wrong military report was sent, which led to an ambush along the way to the west, causing nearly ten thousand casualties.

The situation in the southwest is about to deteriorate again. "

"The minister deserves to die, the minister is guilty!"

Luo Mingda pleaded guilty.

"Officials." Mr. Xun Dao said.

"Li Aiqing, it's okay to be blunt."

When Luo Mingda, who was kneeling on the ground, heard this conversation, he grumbled in his heart.

This means that Mr. Xun Dao from the back mountain, that Tanhua Lang who was famous in the capital, is planning to re-enter office?

"The situation in the southwest is chaotic and inevitable. The main force of the Western Army has been transferred to the three sides in recent years, resulting in insufficient deterrence and suppression of the southwest. Moreover, it is normal for the chieftains to have some changes after the death of Mr. Zhong.

The current situation is actually not anyone's fault, but an inevitability under the general trend.

The minister thought that for the affairs of the Southwest, we should follow the policy of the assassin to make the Southwest fair and fair, and take full responsibility for the military and administration of the Southwest with one person, so as to calm down the situation quickly.

Pure recruiting, the natives are afraid of power but not virtuous;

In the purely offensive, I have a fighting army, most of which are on the three sides, and the people of Yan are the real troubles in my campaign;

Therefore, we should divide it, disintegrate it, and punish it, so as to quickly restore the situation. "

"Does Aiqing have any recommendations?"

"Sir, I would like to go."

"Yes, tomorrow Aiqing will go to court in official uniform to listen to the announcement."

"Thank you, officer."

southwest,

he goes?

Luo Mingda, who was kneeling on the ground, wanted to raise his head several times to say something, to remind him, but he didn't dare, because he knew that what he wanted to say and reminded, the officials already knew in their hearts.

Moreover, the official has already approved it.

The Yinjiawei is the most powerful spy office in Daqian.

In the Silver Armor Guard, there is a top-secret file;

Luo Mingda, who is the governor of Yinjiawei, is naturally qualified to read it. One of them records that this Li Xundao, who sits behind the mountain without showing the mountains and dew, is Mr. Xundao. The master personally took the orphan that was saved by Houshan...... the orphan of the assassin.

The official grabbed a handful of dried fruit and threw a few into his mouth.

asked;

"Aiqing entered the palace this time, but did she feel something?"

"When you go back to the official's house, I'm on the mountain, and I feel that someone has peeped at the fate of the child surnamed Tian." After speaking, Li Xundao paused, "This is a trivial matter, but I think it's time for me to go down the mountain." The time has come."

"Hehe, isn't that right." The official responded, and then he looked at Luo Mingda, "The night I got the news, I called this idiot in front of me and scolded him for half the night, but this idiot is life and death. Don’t admit it, he did it.”

"Dudu Luo should not stop here. A living wife of the Marquis of Jingnan, the current concubine Jingnan, is the most useful chess piece. Even if that chess piece has long lost contact and echo, but her A layer of identity that cannot be stripped away.”

"Does Li Aiqing think so too?"

"Yes, people with discerning eyes in the world will not think that this is Dudu Luo, me, and the officials. It's too bad, it's not worth it.

A truly caring person will instead speculate..."

"It is speculated that it was the handwriting of the emperor of the Yan Kingdom opposite, in order to prevent the tail from getting too big?" The official shook his head, "He gathered those two with loyalty, even if he wanted to do this, he could just let Tian Wujing kill his wife Son is.

Where is the need for such trouble? "

Seeing Luo Mingda and Li Xundao below still want to speak,

The official raised his hand to interrupt them,

road:

"I am the emperor, and he is also the emperor, so I understand him better, and I even understand Tian Wujing better. I think that Emperor Yan is not completely ignorant of Du Juan's matter, but if it is him At that time, they forcibly started to cut off the descendants of the Tian family and the inheritance of the Jingnan Army. I don't think it would be possible.

Of course, he may not be really clean.

In this world,

The easiest word to write is 'one';

In this world,

The most difficult word to write is also 'one'.

from the beginning,

consistently,

Politicians, the most taboo is to change the order from day to day; for the king, the most favorite thing is to say that the king has no jokes;

Ji Runhao got Li Liangting and Tian Wujing to help him with his loyalty. The three of them, no matter what, had to go on consistently, because there was no way for anyone to turn back.

At this time,

Whoever dares to look back is the target of public criticism.

Li Family, Beihou Mansion, Hundred Years Town;

The Tian family, a century-old clan;

Lost it, lost it

But his Ji family,

But eight hundred years of Jiangshan Sheji!

If you want to say that Ji Runhao is a fool,

Then I,

The emperor who was once humiliated by his Dayan iron cavalry,

What is it? "

Speaking of which,
