After the banquet, all the heroes dispersed.
The second prince, Huangfu Taixin, forced his smile and sent all the important people attending the meeting to live in the Xiyuan Annex in the mansion. Only some local bureaucrats and chaebols returned to the mansion, and the entire Changhe Palace was shrouded in a lively and jubilant atmosphere. Below, there is a hint of depression, as if everyone is worried about something, afraid of something, and looking forward to something...
Huangfu Taixin smiled all over his face, and "Wen Chancellor" Wan Qi Duming was by his side, and finally arranged all the personnel properly before returning to his study in his private space.
At this time, on the high position, Princess Yao Suxian was sitting upright, carefully watching the various memorials on the case that looked like hills. Huangfu Taixin and Wan Tu Duming seemed to be used to all this, and sat on both sides of the coffee table without paying attention, drinking tea.
The top-quality blue-and-white porcelain tea bowl only stayed in Huangfu Taixin's hand for a moment before it slammed on the ground and shattered into pieces...
"What a bastard!" The second prince dropped the mask of kindness, his face became extremely ferocious, and said in a ruthless voice: "The 'Canglang' who waited so hard to come here unexpectedly is an elm-headed man who let us go in full view My enemy, and it’s still in my Changhe Prince’s Mansion, this makes me turn around, how can I be a person? How can I have face? When people mention this matter, they will say, ah, the second prince let the enemy calmly go away in his hands, it’s simply It's just a wimp, a wimp!"
When the second prince talked about his hatred, he slapped the golden nanmu coffee table beside him with his palm. With a flash of golden light, the solid tabletop was broken into countless small pieces, and the palm force was extremely domineering.
And at the moment when the palm of the second prince fell on the table, Wan Teng Duming graciously held up his tea bowl, and by a hair's breadth, his tea bowl escaped a catastrophe. His movements were calm and elegant, and his skills extraordinary.
Taking a sip of tea calmly, the place where Nalan Chengji knocked out the teeth in his mouth has already healed, and the palm prints on his face also faded between breaths, and the clearly visible palm prints disappeared after taking a sip of tea.
The second prince gave Wan Teng Duming a rather incomprehensible look, and said coldly: "Wen Xiang, sometimes I really don't understand why you and a peerless master who have the strength of a master of the sky, but you like to pretend to be a master." A servant? Are you not angry that Nalan Chengji knocked out a few teeth in front of everyone today?"
Wan Teng Duming smiled faintly, and questioned: "Why are you angry? What can you do if you are angry? If you do it, I can't beat Nalan Chengji; The thing is that the wolf master deliberately tried to tempt me. If it weren't for the strength of the master of heaven, Nalan Chengji probably wouldn't fight with me. He just wanted to arouse my anger so that he could fight me... Second Prince The great cause has not been accomplished, so why should I compete with our greatest helper for this length of time?"
I have long known that Wan Teng Duming is good at patience, but I didn't expect that he could tolerate it to such an extent that he would not get angry even if he was slapped in the face in public.
The second prince sighed helplessly, and silently said "Old Turtle".
The corner of Wan Teng Duming's mouth curled up, and then he respectfully said to the second prince: "Although the wolf master has saved the master a little face for today's matter, in the long run, it will be a good move."
"Oh? How do you say that?"
Wan Teng Duming glanced at Yao Suxian who had never looked up, and said with a smile: "My minister is stupid, the pass is only realized after seeing the princess's composure. For the real reason, the lord may wish to ask the princess to personally Good answer."
"Aifei also knows the reason?" The second prince turned his head in surprise, and just met Yao Suxian's slightly smiling face. The satisfied look in Yao Suxian's eyes flashed away. Demonstrating competence brings greater trust and power.
Yao Suxian said with a smile: "Master Wancheng is really lazy, to put this matter on my concubine..."
Wan Qi alone did not dare to speak out.
Yao Suxian continued: "Actually, the matter is very simple. Nalan Chengji did intend to let Ye Qingxuan and his party go temporarily because of his bad taste, but he also didn't want to have a bad relationship with Fengyi Pavilion because of this, so he made a small plan to kill Ye Qingxuan and the others." Forcing them to stay in Luodu City is obviously for protection, but in fact it is just persistence. This Luodu City is a big prison, and the Chu Family Guild Hall is a cage for them to be tightly locked up. As long as we strengthen surveillance on the outside and Spreading the layout everywhere in the city will force those desperate rebels to flee into the Chu family mansion. The more people there are, the harder it is for those hypocritical rebels to escape. When the time comes, won’t it form a Is it a game of catching a turtle in a urn?"
The second prince slapped his thigh, his eyes sparkled, he swept away the previous decadence, and said excitedly: "What my concubine said is very true, what she said is very true. Unexpectedly, although Grandmaster Nalan is acting perversely, he still knows how to take care of others Love, this hand is used well, I thought he was happy to see Liexin, and he became interested in talents. It turned out that he was just setting a long line to catch big fish and used them as bait. Okay, okay... "
The second prince raised his arms and stood up, shouting loudly: "Come here!"
"The subordinates are here!"
There are guards and generals waiting outside the door.
"According to my will, from now on, a curfew will be enforced in Luodu City!"
Wan Teng Duming next to him suddenly came up and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, without His Majesty's jade seal, the order of the curfew cannot be passed on..."
The second prince's face turned ugly, and he ordered: "The curfew will not be enforced. Notify the Xingting Lieutenant, Shence Mansion, and the Imperial Attendant, and all personnel within the third division will be strictly inspected in the city, but they will be executed if they find traces of disorderly parties." .”
"Wen Xiang" Wan Teng Duming nodded, and said: "The Shence Mansion needs to communicate with the filial prince Huangfu Jingming. There is Fengyi Pavilion, so there is no problem; and An Zhongxin's old dog's life is in his hands." In our hands, there is no problem with the Master Attendant; it's just..."
"It's just what? Do the rest of the Xingtingwei dare not obey my order?"
"It's not that... Captain Xing Ting is already in His Highness's pocket, but Man Wenting, the supervisor of Captain Xing Ting, is seriously injured and unable to govern. I'm afraid there will be problems with Captain Xing Ting's actions."
"That bastard!" The second prince scolded, and he didn't know whether it was Man Wenting who scolded, or the ninth prince Huangfu Taicheng who kicked Man Wenting.
The second prince rolled his eyes, and then ordered in a loud voice: "Go and tell You Daming, the capital of the Nine Gates, that from now on, in addition to being responsible for the safety of the Nine Gates, he will temporarily be in charge of the Xingtingwei, and the whole city will cooperate to strictly arrest the rebels. If he does a good job, the position of 'Wu Xiang' will be his in the future."
"Wen Xiang" Wan Tu Duming was overjoyed immediately, bowed to the bottom and said: "Thank you for your highness. The old minister is on behalf of You Daming, thank you for your highness, Huang Enhao!"
It turns out that You Daming, the capital of the Nine Gates, is the son-in-law of Wan Teng Duming. He has always been one of the right-hand men of the second prince. His martial arts are extremely powerful. You Daming has never been defeated once, and even many of the authentic disciples of the famous sect have been defeated by him, and his limelight is unrivaled. It is precisely because of his power that You Daming, who came from a humble background, was favored by Wan Tu Duming, and then he was recruited as his son-in-law and became a family.
Now You Daming is only in his early thirties, and his martial arts are even more extraordinary than usual, but he holds an important position in the imperial court and has not competed with others in the past ten years. Now the second prince has changed his mind and mentioned that You Daming will be awarded the post of "Warrior Minister", which can be said to be a great favor to Wanqi's family.
In one family, both Weng and his son-in-law served as the "Second Minister of Civil and Military Affairs" of the imperial court at the same time. Such an honor is rare in ancient times. The sentence is equivalent to the words of conspiracy.
Huangfu Taixin's mood has become better after seeing off Wan Tu Duming.
After concubine Yao Suxian finished approving a memorial, she asked lightly: "Within the same school, there are two masters of civil and military. The power is so concentrated that it is out of balance. Are you not afraid?"
"Afraid? Why should I be afraid?" The second prince took a sip of tea leisurely, Shi Shiran flicked a piece of tea from the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "After all, You Daming's surname is You, not Wanqi. There is something called 'ambition', and it is definitely not a person who has lived under others for a long time. Wan Qi Duming uses his martial arts, so why not take advantage of Wan Qi Duming's status? If I give him a chance to soar into the sky, he will How could you be willing to be a son-in-law in the Xiangfu?"
…
In the small courtyard of the Chu family mansion, Ye Qingxuan and a few others sat on the railing beside the corridor, staring at the sky in a daze.
Unexpectedly, the battle at Changhe Prince's Mansion was just the beginning of all troubles. Now that everyone is in a dangerous place, they have no choice but to leave.
"Damn it, now we are the turtles in the urn, just waiting to be caught at the door!"
Meng Yuanjun muttered rather complainingly, and yanked the straw in his hand, leaving a deep mark on the doorpost.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Xiao Liuzi sighed in surprise and ran over, stroking along the traces.
"Uncle, can you teach me this trick?"
Little Six blinked and asked seriously.
Among the crowd, only the innocent and innocent little six can maintain the same vitality as before, and there is no trace of worry or fear.
Ye Qingxuan said with a smile: "The old six teaches the little six, it's quite worthy..."
Meng Yuanjun said helplessly: "Let's talk about it if we can survive!"
Old Dingtou, no, Sikong Jianchou still looked like he was about to die, he just smoked his pipe and didn't say a word.
Meng Yuanjun said angrily: "Old man Sikong, you are talking!"
when!
The dry tobacco bag directly smashed a big bag on Meng Laoliu's forehead.
Sikong scolded sadly: "Little bastard, no matter how big or small, you dare not talk to me like that when your master comes..."
Ye Qingxuan ignored Meng Laoliu who was squatting on the ground, screaming for pain desperately, and asked directly: "Senior Sikong, what do you think we should do now? It is impossible to leave. There are so many people and the goal is too big. Going out is courting death. And even if you only take Miss Chu alone, you will be intercepted and killed if you don't leave Luodu City, not to mention there is a comatose Xuanhua Daoist."
Sikong Jianchou was really sad this time, and he was so worried that the wrinkles on his face could kill a fly, he sighed and said: "I never thought that such a pure-hearted and ascetic guy as Bai Yulou would be tricked by others, hey, I am a troublesome woman!" , A confidante is a disaster, let him be a hero for the rest of his life, won't it be ruined by the woman in the end?"
Ye Qingxuan's mind couldn't help sinking, and he said: "So...the real Xuanhua is hopeless?"
Sikong Jianchou knocked the pipe and pot on the railing, and said calmly: "It's up to him whether he lives or dies. The Dragon and Tiger Daomen have been passed down for thousands of years, and there are countless magical skills that can be counted. Judging by his current state, it is by no means The injury should be related to the kung fu he practiced. If I expected it to be correct, this magical kung fu should be the best martial art in the Dragon and Tiger Dao Sect, and the gold-level mid-level [Dragon and Tiger Nine-turn Magic Kungfu]. According to legend, this Only the head of the Dragon and Tiger Taoist sect is qualified to practice the martial arts. Every turn is a reborn evolution. Those who succeed can get a strong physique comparable to tiger bones and dragon tendons. I heard that after the sixth turn, each turn will transform After success, it can heal the most serious injuries in the world. It is rumored that the master of Xuanhua Zhenren, Master Miaochen, possessed six-turn magic skills, but in the confrontation between the demon gates, he was seriously injured by the "devil ancestor" Vimo, and then After penance training the seventh round of 'Fish-Dragon Transformation', the result..."
Both Ye Qingxuan and Meng Yuanyun's eyes lit up, and they asked anxiously, "How is it? Did it succeed?"
"Resurrection with full blood?"
Sikong rolled his eyes at Jianchou, and said, "It didn't work, it failed. Daoist Miaochen passed away after seventy-seven forty-nine days."
"Damn!" Meng Yuanjun jumped up immediately, and cursed: "What's the use of mentioning the experience of failure? Can't you talk about who succeeded?"
Sikong Jianchou shook his head, and said seriously: "I never heard of anyone succeeding!"
Meng Yuanyun was almost choked to death by his own saliva.
What do you say it didn't work? Isn't it intentional
Seeing the two young men becoming dejected again, Sikong couldn't help laughing and said: "Although no one succeeded, it doesn't mean that this guy Bai Yulou was unsuccessful... His master only reached the sixth rank of 'Yunhu Transformation', and Xuanhua Daoist is now the seventh turn of the 'Fish-Dragon Transformation', it can be said that this magical skill is the most expert in history, maybe he has mastered some tricks... "
Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan and Meng Yuanyun were immediately revived, and became refreshed again.
"So we still have to..."
"Wait and see what happens." Sikong Jianchou looked at the blue sky and murmured.
Ye Qingxuan stabilized his mind, turned to Meng Yuanyun and said, "Sixth Brother, we can't just wait, is there a way for you to pass the news on?"
Meng Yuanyun patted his chest, and said proudly: "As long as Nalan Chengji doesn't come to follow him personally, I can guarantee that the news will be passed on..."
Next to him, Sikong Jianchou snorted coldly, and muttered, "You bastard!"
Meng Yuanjun snorted angrily and ignored him, he knew that his temper was caused by his master's "Thieves Saint", so he didn't bother to reply.
