East China Sea.
Inside the Yunguang Cave.
Jin Bifeng, the leader of the Jie Cult, retracted his palm.
He sat firmly on the cloud bed, his face unruffled, as if the person who had just struck down the bird-headed figure was not him.
After a while.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"Send Master Tieguan to come!"
Immediately.
Jin Bifeng spoke softly and gave orders to Shuihuo Tong'er who was guarding the law outside the door.
"yes!"
Shuihuo Tong'er bowed and took the order and left.
…
Jizhou.
The governor's residence.
Wang Ke smiled broadly as he greeted Su Wei and Changsun Sheng who had arrived from outside the Great Wall.
Although these two people were both high-ranking officials in the court, they were grateful to Yu Wang Ke for his help, so they were very polite to him.
That night.
The house is brightly lit.
At the banquet for everyone.
Wang Ke smiled, while listening to Su Wei's description of many matters within the Shiguo Ya tent, he quietly looked at Luo Shixin who was sitting next to Wang Junke.
[Name: Luo Shixin,
Age: fourteen years old,
Weapon: Feilian double iron halberd (800 catties),
Mount: None,
Martial Arts: Ancient Evil Halberd Technique (Dacheng),
Magic: Power of wind and thunder,
General Star: Dragon King of the Eight Tribes. 】
"I didn't expect that this boy Luo Shixin was actually the reincarnation of the Dragon King of the Eight Tribes. According to legend, dragons come by wind and thunder and have supreme power. It really fits this boy."
Wang Ke looked at Luo Shixin's basic information, smiled slightly, and thought to himself.
At this time.
Yin Yue came over with a wine glass and bowed to Wang Ke.
Only then did Wang Ke look away, and had a drink with Yin Yue with a smile on his face.
after.
Xue Shixiong, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche came to toast one after another.
These people all accepted Wang Ke's help.
If Wang Ke hadn't rescued them in time this time, I'm afraid that only Yang Jian's thunderous wrath would be waiting for them.
Tap tap tap...
Tap tap tap...
Tap tap tap...
However.
At this moment.
Yuan Zhen, who was in charge of guarding the city tower, strode in with his sword in hand.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Ke raised his head and asked.
"Lord, something big happened in the court!"
Yuan Zhen lowered his voice and spoke in Wang Ke's ear.
As he spoke, he took out an official document.
This official document bears the seal of the Ministry of Secretariat, and its cover is still slightly moist. It is obviously caused by the fact that the messenger traveled day and night from Daxing City and sweated through his clothes.
See this situation.
Wang Ke had some doubts in his heart.
He reached out to open the official document, glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly.
"What happened?"
Changsun Sheng, who was sitting next to Wang Ke, was good at observing words and expressions.
He frowned and asked in a low voice.
"General, please look, something big has happened!"
When Wang Ke heard this, he immediately stood up and handed the official document into the hands of Chang Sun Sheng.
Subsequently.
He gently waved his hand and asked the servants to withdraw from the banquet and singing and dancing.
Bangta!
Same as Wang Ke.
Changsun Sheng read the news on the official document, and his expression suddenly changed. His hand slipped and the official document almost fell to the ground.
Su Wei, who was next to him, saw this and caught the official document. His eyes fell on the official document, and his expression changed drastically.
Subsequently.
This official document reached the hands of Yin Yue, Xue Shixiong, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Wang Junke and others.
After reading the official document, the expressions of each of these people changed suddenly.
Because, in this official document, there is only one general meaning - Empress Dugu Jialuo of the Sui Dynasty was buried!
Calm down your mind.
Changsun Sheng stood up.
He cupped his hands and said to Wang Ke: "Thank you very much for your hospitality. Now that there are changes in the court, I can't wait to set off back to Daxing immediately. I will leave early tomorrow morning so that you don't have to see me off!"
Wang Ke waved his hand and said: "This is a major national event. We should go together to pay homage to Queen Dugu! When the time comes, I will go to Daxing with the general."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. You are a high-ranking official in a feudal territory. You have your own rules for entering the court. You need to ask for an order first, and then talk about entering the court... We will go back first and make a request to your Majesty, the envoy, to enter the court. At that time, How about you wait for the imperial court's decree before setting off on your journey?"
Changsun Sheng was kind-hearted, cupped his hand and said to Wang Ke.
Wang Ke pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then he followed Changsun Sheng's suggestion.
Since then.
The banquet was so-so and ended unhappy.
the next day.
Changsun Sheng, Su Wei, Yin Yue, Xue Shixiong, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, and Xue Wanbei set out together. After taking the horses arranged by Wang Ke, they went all the way south to Daxing City.
As for Wang Ke, he is still presiding over major events in Jizhou City, waiting for news from Daxing.
really.
Within a few days.
The flying pigeon of Yang Su, Duke of Yue, arrived with a message.
Hongfunu took the letter, quickly came to Wang Ke, and handed the letter to the owner.
Wang Ke took the letter and looked at it briefly.
The content of the letter is simple. It mainly states that Yang Su, in front of Yang Jian, asked for an order to allow Yang Xuangan and Wang Ke to go to the capital to pay homage to the queen, and asked him to prepare immediately and wait for the imperial edict to be issued before setting off immediately for Daxing City.
"Chuchen, you go and prepare your luggage first. I will select a few generals to join us later. We won't wait for the imperial edict. We will only meet the imperial envoys on the way and we will set off tomorrow."
After Wang Ke read it, he closed the letter and immediately said to Hongfu Nu.
Hongfu Nu nodded, turned and left.
Subsequently.
Wang Ke summoned many generals in the city.
among these people.
Wang Jun can have an overview of the whole situation.
Ling Wei presides over internal affairs.
Yuan Zhen maintained defense.
Song Jingang, Hao Xiaode, Su Dingfang, Zhang Hu, Gan Meng and others all have their own arrangements.
The only ones who can go to Daxing with Wang Ke are Wang Tianyou and Hou Junji.
"In that case, Tianyou and Junji will go with me... You and I have ordered one hundred and fifty elite cavalry to set off immediately tomorrow morning!"
Wang Ke looked at Wang Tianyou and Hou Junji, nodded, and said.
"yes!"
Wang Tianyou and Hou Junji raised their hands together and listened to the order.
"Lord!"
At this moment.
Wang Junke stood up and raised his hands, saying to Wang Ke.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Ke looked at Wang Junke and asked.
"Lord, you are only leading one hundred and fifty people to Daxing this time. There may be accidents along the way. There is something here that can avoid a lot of trouble."
Wang Junke clasped his hands into fists and said.
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized iron token from his arms.
"This is the Green Forest Dark Iron Order. It is quite prestigious on the northern Green Forest Road. The Lord can carry it with him. When encountering characters in the Green Forest, he can either use the token to intimidate or subdue them."
Point to this token.
Wang Junke said to Wang Ke.
"Okay! Thank you brother!"
Wang Ke laughed, took the token, and said immediately.
after.
The generals went back to their respective posts and stayed at their posts.
soon.
It's time for the second day.
Four people, Wang Ke, Hong Funu, Hou Junji, and Wang Tianyou, led one hundred and fifty elite cavalry, starting from Jizhou City and galloping all the way to Daxing City.
…
Peking Mansion.
Outside Shunyi Village.
On the straight official road.
There were puffs of dust.
Wang Ke and others traveled on the road for two days.
At this time, everyone had arrived near Fucheng.
Find a place under the shade of a tree.
Wang Ke stopped his horse, immediately turned over and landed on the ground, and said to everyone: "It's hot today, let's find a restaurant to eat here first, and wait until the weather cools down!"
Hou Junji jumped off his horse with a smile and said: "Okay! My lord, I will rest here for a while. I will enter the village later to see if there are any clean restaurants."
Say it.
His figure was like the wind, and he ran into Shunyi Village in a few steps.
Not long after.
Hou Junji came out of the village.
He looked a little strange and said to Wang Ke: "This village is really strange. Although there are several restaurants in it, the owner and waiter are not in the store. They said they went to the small school ground to the east of the village to watch the competition and selection! "
"Selection by martial arts competition?"
Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little weird.
