This is Chongxuanhu's study.
It is said to be a study room, but it doesn't look like a study room at all, it's more like a hall, even bigger than ordinary halls.
The yard outside the window is also very large, with fish ponds and rockery, and of course there are many potted plants.
The courtyard walls that are more than ten meters high and nearly three meters thick make people feel chilled. Generally, the courtyard walls of rich and noble families do not exceed six meters, especially the inner courtyard. The courtyard walls in front of them are simply city walls.
On both sides of the high wall are the General's Mansion, but why do they have to be separated by an astonishingly high courtyard wall in their own mansion
This is almost the first feeling and question of everyone who enters the Great General's study for the first time.
There is a row of windows on the right side of the door. Under the windows is a huge nanmu desk. The huge bookcases against the walls on both sides are full of books, and there are many scrolls on the bookshelves. In addition to a set of Eight Immortals red sandalwood table and chairs at the other end of the study, there is another Taishi chair in the corner.
Everything is the same as an ordinary rich family. It looks like a book, but the swords, guns, swords and halberds hanging on the wall are shocking, and it reminds people that the owner here is not a scribe, but a warrior.
Especially on one of the huge grand master's chairs, covered with a piece of tiger skin, the fur is colorful, and the majesty seems to be undiminished when it roars through the mountains and forests, and it adds a chill to the room.
The Chongxuan Tiger who just sat down on the tiger's skin was a little lazy, but his power remained undiminished. Even the lazy tiger is still a tiger...
The scalps of the two people kneeling on the ground were a little tight, and their backs were sweating a little.
In the past few days, when Chongxuanhu wakes up every day, he is always a little restless and in a bad mood.
The "Hero Banquet" is approaching soon, and all the hidden things can be revealed on that day, and it will be settled quickly and happily. But waiting for this kind of thing to happen is really annoying...
It was almost noon, and Chongxuanhu had just had breakfast. His favorite raw corned beef in the past seemed to have no appetite today. He yawned lazily, and picked up the tea bowl on the right side.
Suddenly, he was so irritable that he didn't even want to drink tea. Chongxuanhu put the tea bowl on the table with a chirp, and finally set his eyes on the people kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice: "I'm in a bad mood today. If you want some good news, or something interesting to tell..."
The two kneeling on the ground looked at each other, panic in their hearts, they didn't know whether to tell their news or not, because the things they want to report didn't seem to have anything to do with "good news" and "interesting things", but they also It's not "bad news", it's... just "news".
Um
A dissatisfied nasal sound made the two of them bow their heads suddenly, and finally bit the bullet and began to speak.
"Report to the general, a clash broke out at the gate of the city yesterday. Three demon masters ambushed the special envoy of the 'Hero Banquet'. They accidentally encountered people from the rivers and lakes who entered the city for the banquet. The two sides fought fiercely, and the Tiger Tooth Battalion intervened. Forty-six people were killed. Captain Meng Dahai Injured, the three opponents fled and two died..."
"Demon Gate?" Chongxuanhu became interested when he heard it, and leaned forward a little, "What does the Demon Gate ambush my special envoy for the banquet? Who is the one who died?"
"It's the 'Fire Crazy Demon' Tantai Dikuang and the 'Yin Lingguan' Shediyin from the 'One Hundred and Eight Magic Stars'."
It's "Earth Crazy Star" and "Earth Yin Star"...
Isn't that a person belonging to the Purple Turban Bandit?
Chongxuanhu sat up straight suddenly, his eyes were fixed, his murderous aura suddenly rose, and he asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"
"The major general personally brought people to confirm..."
Xie Lin confirmed it? Then there's nothing wrong with it...
But why did the Zijin Bandits come to my Jingnan City? Also intercept and kill my banquet envoy? Shouldn't they be chasing and killing members of the court's patrol team outside
Since the alliance with the Demon Sect was revealed, Chongxuanhu has seized the time to make arrangements all the way. It can be said that he and the court are racing against time. In fact, Chongxuanhu knows that the court will not let him go, but he Forming an alliance with Momen, both parties are using each other. The magic gate can distract the court masters, especially the innate masters.
As for the Demon Sect, as long as it is something that causes chaos in the world, almost everyone is willing to participate. In any case, the more chaotic this world is, the more conducive it is for Momen to implement some of its own plans. No matter what their plan is, anyway, those people with abnormal brains will plan things without blood and killing...
But the big event that I have planned for thirty years cannot have any accidents. When these members of the Demon Sect arrive in Jingnan City, it is entirely possible to attract the attention of some people. If this triggers a confrontation between the Jianghu Sect and the Demon Sect in Jingnan City, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on your plan. On the contrary, If this conflict can happen in other places, it will undoubtedly attract most of the eyes of the Wulin to other places.
Chongxuanhu asked: "Have you found out why the Demon Sect hunted down my special envoy?"
"Not yet, but my subordinates are following up..."
"Who is the special envoy who was hunted down by the Demon Sect?" Chongxuanhu continued to ask after thinking about it.
"According to the investigation, it is a book boy that Xie Changshi has recruited..."
"School boy?" Chongxuanhu suddenly felt a bit sluggish, "You said that the master of the magic sect chased and killed a book boy?"
The person who bowed his head to answer also felt sweat dripping from his forehead, so he dared to do so.
Weird, weird... How could someone from the Demon Sect chase down a little book boy? And not only did they fail to kill, but they also killed two of them. With the style of the devil's sect's vengeance, this enmity can be regarded as a big one. Even the "ten major sects" in today's martial arts are afraid that they are unwilling to take the risk of fighting against the devil alone. It's hard for anyone to go to war and be worried about by a bunch of psychopaths.
What the hell is Xie Yuanlue doing? A newly-promoted little book boy killed a master of the Demon Sect with such a high profile, is he not afraid of being retaliated by the Demon Sect, or is he confident and not afraid of revenge
Hmph, the old fox Xie Yuanlue finally showed his tail.
"Check, investigate this matter thoroughly immediately, and find out the identity of that little book boy for me..."
"Yeah, do you want to inform Xie Changshi about this?"
Chongxuan Hulue pondered for a while, and thought to himself: Then Xie Yuanlue must have a problem, but it doesn't matter, the bigger his problem is, the more people will fall into my tricks, and when the banquet starts, I can catch them all in one go. At this time, if Xie Yuanlue is moved, it would be tantamount to scaring the snake. These people who secretly oppose me will surely lie in ambush deeper. If we want to find them all, it will take more effort, and it will affect my strength to fight against the imperial court. No, Xie Yuanlue can't move...
"Don't disturb Xie Yuanlue about this matter, especially before the 'Hero Banquet'... You don't want to touch that book boy, lest you be discovered by that old fox Xie Yuanlue..."
"Subordinates obey—"
To track down that book boy without touching him, this task is not usually difficult...
As soon as the two lowered their heads, they planned to leave...
"Wait..." Chongxuanhu suddenly patted his head to prevent them from exiting the study, recalled a little, and asked softly: "Among the two masters of the magic sect you said died, what is the name of one, is he surnamed Tantai? "
"Back to the general, there is indeed one person, the 'Fire Crazy Demon' Tantai Dikuang..."
"The technique he used, is it that he is bathed in fire, and he can burn people after hitting them, and the flames can't be extinguished by splashing water?"
Fire crazy...
Tantai...
unquenchable fire...
That's bad, isn't this person the junior of that person
Chongxuanhu waved his hands with some headaches, and the two of them hurriedly backed away like bereaved dogs.
If things really went as I guessed, Jingnan City might turn into a sea of flames. That person, unless someone from the "Thirty-six Heavens" made a move, no one could stop him.
I just hope that my worries are unfounded, or pray that that person will not know about it until my plan is carried out.
…
Ye Qingxuan walked towards his residence in the Xie Mansion with his dizzy head in front of him.
On the day Ye Qingxuan was arranged to be Xie Zi'an's personal book boy, Xie Shixian found him a single room near the Second Young Master's courtyard, so that he would not have to wait on that Second Master Xie at night, and avoid crowding with other servants When he came to one place, it was considered an abuse of private power, and he was given special care.
After being sprayed with Buddhist teachings for a long time by the great monk Yingzhen, I didn't remember much of the truth, and my head was really about to explode. The dizzy head now gave Ye Qingxuan a feeling of becoming a Buddha or an immortal.
He had just bought a single courtyard, and was running into the second master of the Xie family rushing out.
"Xiao Sheng!?"
"Second, Second Young Master..."
"You know how to come back, you kid—" Xie Zi'an went up and put his arms around Ye Qingxuan's neck, "Your kid can send an invitation card and leave for two or three days. I'm tired of waiting for so long, what should I do?"
Ye Qingxuan's heart warmed when he was made a fuss about by this bastard young master, and his sadness was much lessened by it. But I don't have time to mess around with these bastards, with a straight face, Su Rong replied: "I want to report to the second young master, Xiao Ke has done two things this time besides sending 'Hero Posts': First, he got a class." Martial arts, red level; two, meeting Qiu Feiyan..."
As soon as the words fell, Xie Zi'an stood up solemnly, patted Ye Qingxuan's body lightly with both hands, fanned away the dust that didn't exist before, helped tidy up his clothes, and said with a flattering smile: "Oh my goodness! I haven't seen Brother Xiao Sheng for a few days, and his expression is better than before... That red-level martial arts..."
"Can pass..."
"Then everyone..."
"You know..."
"when?"
Ye Qingxuan sighed, there was really nothing he could do about this second young master who didn't know what to do, as long as he had what he wanted, he really had no bottom line in his attitude, even if he acted like this, he couldn't provoke this master. anger…
"As long as I calm down, martial arts can be taught immediately, and everyone Qiu will be informed..."
"Oh, well—"
The second young master who answered two or three sentences correctly, hurriedly made way for his uncle Shutong.
"By the way, Second Young Master, where were you going just now?"
"Oh—" Xie Zian slapped his head and shouted "No".
What's wrong with this
Xie Zi'an grabbed Ye Qingxuan's sleeve, pulled it out and left, anxiously said: "It's just in time for you to come back, let me go on a regular basis..."
Ye Qingxuan jumped up and down, "My brother—what's wrong with you?"
