Although Linzi is a large city, it is indispensable that there are many mansions and mansions under the command of the Nine Soldiers.
The Xiu Mansion is located in the core area of Jinxianfang. It was built under the supervision of famous craftsmen of the dynasty and is full of majesty.
Since the case of Cui Zhu's assassination of the emperor, as the direct promoter of Cui Zhu's participation in the Yellow River Conference, Xiu Yuan, the commander of the prisoner and electric army, was dismissed from his post on the same day pending investigation.
Although he was not locked in the prison, he was still confined to his home and was not allowed to go out.
Unlike Cao Jie, who was under house arrest in Chen Cang by building a plank road in secret, Xiu Yuan was in a real prison, and his entire cultivation was locked up. Only considering the majesty of the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers, he was not imprisoned.
However, several months have passed since the assassination of the emperor. There has been no breakthrough in the investigation of Xiuyuan. The emperor has not appointed a new commander of the Prison Electric Army, and the first general of the Prison Electric Army under Xiu Yuan is still temporarily leading this powerful army.
It was so delayed for a while.
On this day, a distinguished guest came to the Xiu family.
The one who came was Yan Tu, who was also the commander of the Nine Soldiers with Xiu Yuan and was responsible for cutting down the Rain Army.
This person and Xiu Yuan are close friends, and it is known to both the government and the public. They both came from the same ordinary background. They both climbed up from the bottom of the army and reached the position of commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers. They quite sympathized with each other.
When the madman Xu Fang was still high-spirited, he wrote in an article - "A true man must travel a long way." The "distance" and "distance" in this actually refer to Xiuyuan and the journey to hell, not the journey to the underworld. What a long journey.
Among the nine commanders, these two were the ones he admired the most. Of course, these two people may not know who Xu Fang is.
When Xiuyuan had just been dismissed pending investigation, Yan Tu also wrote nine letters in succession, urging the emperor to clarify that Xiuyuan was innocent. Later, they even went to Donghua Pavilion to remonstrate with the emperor!
The emperor was grateful for Yan Tu's love and righteousness, and personally kicked him out of Donghua Pavilion and fined him ten years...
In a very simply decorated quiet room.
Yan Tu, who was wearing armor, sat opposite Xiu Yuan, who was dressed in home clothes.
There is a bow and knife hanging on the wall in front, which makes Xiu Yuan's hair neatly reflected. He sits upright and has a straight back. Although he lives at home, he still has a strong temperament.
At this time, tea is being brewed slowly. Gentleness and fierceness, these two temperaments were perfectly unified in him.
Yan Tu, who was sitting opposite him, had a completely different style. He has thick eyebrows, wide eyes, a big nose bridge, and thick lips, giving him a somewhat domineering temperament. The sitting posture is also very casual, with one foot half upright and one foot casually slumped.
"I said, stop cooking." Yan Tu glanced at the pot of tea and said impatiently: "No matter how good you make the tea, you still won't fit into the circle of Lao Qi people and won't gain their trust. What's the matter? mean?"
Xiu Yuan was unmoved, continued his work, and said slowly: "Why can't you gain trust?"
"How many months has it been?" Seeing his look like this, Yan Tu was furious: "If they believe you, why are you still living at home when you are the commander of the electric army?"
Xiuyuan smiled: "The matter hasn't been investigated yet, so of course I can't leave."
"Just because of those trash from the Capital Inspection Office!? If you can't find out in ten years, do you think you have to be imprisoned for ten years in Xiuyuan? If you can't find out in your lifetime, are you going to be locked up at home for the rest of your life?"
The water was already boiling. Xiu Yuan took the teapot off the small stove, slowly scalded the tea cup, and said casually: "It's better than being locked up in prison, right?"
Yan Tu sneered: "General Xiu is so good at comforting himself, I didn't know before!"
Xiu Yuan sighed: "It was indeed my oversight to recommend Cui Zhu. It disturbed the Holy Master and threatened to slander the Emperor's name... I can still sit here and make tea with you. Brother Yan, I am satisfied."
"If you commit the crime of negligence, you should be dismissed pending investigation. We have nothing to say, but when will the investigation be carried out, there must be a charter?!" Yan Tu said dissatisfied: "There is no movement at all in Beiya. Zheng Shi is there every day You are hiding from me. But you Xiuyuan, a dignified real person, and the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers, cannot leave this house! Day after day, day after day! You have made countless contributions to our Daqi, how can you accept this? Humiliation?"
Xiu Yuan shook his head: "Zhang Yong cried at the temple, and the eleventh prince fell out of favor. Cui Zhu assassinated the emperor, how can I be an exception?"
Yan Tu said angrily: "How can you and the eleventh prince be the same thing? How can these two things be confused?"
"Maybe, maybe not." Xiu Yuan opened the green bamboo can, used bamboo tweezers to take out the Cuibi tea leaves stored in it, carefully put it into the teacup, and said, "I believe everything has a price. The mistakes I made, I need to take responsibility. Your Majesty will remember the merits I have made... It would not be a bad idea to rest for a few years."
"Your Majesty is naturally wise and powerful." Yan Tu said solemnly: "I'm afraid someone will deceive the Holy Spirit!"
"Since Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, how could he be deceived by others?" Xiuyuan completed the last process, then stretched out his hand and said: "Brother Yan, please use tea."
The night was blocked outside the door. Yan Tu looked at the heat in the teacup. Before he drank, he suddenly thought of a question -
At this moment, does the eleventh prince have time to drink tea?
…
…
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Violent coughs wandered back and forth in the palace, penetrating this long night.
Feng Gu, the deeply wrinkled eunuch in charge of the Changsheng Palace, looked ahead with worry. The dark color in the eyes suddenly seemed far away and now close.
On the desk in front is a piece of snow-white rice paper, with an unfinished calligraphy on it.
The young prince, wearing a white fox fur, was sitting in front of the desk. He made a fist with his left hand and lightly covered his lips with the back of his fist, coughing until his frosty face turned red. The right hand holds the wolf hair and hangs it against the inkstone. There was a drop of ink hanging on the tip of the hair, trembling as he coughed, but never falling.
When the coughing gradually stopped, Feng Gucai advised softly: "Your Highness, you'd better drink a bowl of medicine."
In the upper left corner of the desk, there is a white jade bowl. The black medicinal liquid is sitting in it, and there are still a few wisps of heat lingering in it.
"I don't want to drink anymore." Jiang Wuqi said with some difficulty.
He coughed a few more times before settling down.
He just held the wolf hair in one hand and turned to look out the window.
I don't know when, the faint skylight has penetrated the night.
"There should be news from Xingyueyuan." He said quietly.
As if in response to his words, footsteps happened to sound outside the hall, and the sound was very fast.
Feng Gu turned sideways slightly, and people were already blocking him in front of the palace door.
After a while, the footsteps disappeared, and Feng Gu returned to the desk again, but there was a letter in his hand.
"Your Highness, urgent military situation."
"read."
Feng Gu opened the letter and read as he read: "The winner of Xingyue Yuan has been decided. Jiang Qingyang has returned from the sky and decided the world with one sword. The God of War and Commander Dou'e Yu Que have signed "Xingyue" in Wanhe Temple. "Moon Promise".
After reading the urgent letter, although Feng Gu had no expression on his face, his eyes were full of respect and admiration.
In his early years, he was the confidant of Concubine Lei Guifei, and served as a horse and horse for her. After Concubine Lei was assassinated, she took the initiative to request an order to serve Jiang Wuqi.
Over the years, it can be said that I have watched Jiang Wuqi grow up day by day.
This highly regarded nobleman from Tianhuang has endured pain that ordinary people cannot imagine, and he also possesses talents that ordinary people cannot match.
Just like now.
He knew as much information about Xingyueyuan as Jiang Wuqi, but he had no idea about the direction of the war. However, Jiang Wuqi could accurately judge the end time of the war.
Without a deep understanding of the geniuses of both camps and the entire battlefield situation, it is not enough to conduct such a clear deduction of the battle situation.
"I thought that the one who would shine in this battle would be Chen Suan or Zhong Xuan Sheng, but I didn't expect Jiang Qingyang to be back again." When Jiang Wuqi said this, he paused and then said: "It seems that Yu Heng The changes in the stars are also related to him... Speaking of which, how did the Military Hall deal with his leaving the camp before the battle?"
"Effective with merit." Feng Gu said.
Jiang Wuqi was silent for a moment and said, "The punishment for Zhuang Guo must have been emphasized in the "Xingyue Pact"."
After hearing this, Feng Gu flipped through the detailed provisions of the "Star-Moon Covenant" on the back page of the letter - he knew the earlier treaty, so he had not read it carefully before.
This time, I was stunned. The treaty between the two overlords, and it was a treaty signed after such a war. Every word had to be carefully considered, but now it was adjusted for Jiang Wang?
How terrifying was this man's performance on the battlefield?
"It's really..." Feng Gu was speechless for a moment.
"This gentleman should be a Fuyao!" Jiang Wuqi sighed with emotion, smiled again, and turned his eyes back to the rice paper.
The drop of ink on the tip finally fell, creating a circle of ripples in the inkstone.
He wrote the last few words in one stroke of his pen.
Then he put down his pen, stood up, and walked out alone.
Feng Guti followed up, but he stopped him with a raised palm: "You have worked hard for so many years. You must walk this journey alone."
"Your Highness..." Feng Gu stood on the spot, his voice trembling.
Tianhuang nobleman, who was wrapped in a white fox fur, asked with a smile as he walked: "Your Majesty is the Holy Son of Heaven, the God of War is the current Golden Beam, and Jiang Qingyang is the future Jade Pillar... The prince is generous and kind. Sincerely, there is someone who looks like a king; the third sister is alone in Taoism and martial arts, and she is majestic; the ninth brother is smart and handsome, and his noble spirit is as noble as the stars... So what about Gu? Who is Gu?"
He asked and walked out without waiting for anyone's answer.
No answer is needed at all.
Feng Gu stood silently in front of the desk with a sad expression.
Who is the eleventh prince of Da Qi?
Originally the lord of the Palace of Eternal Life, he was the most favored son of the current emperor. He was majestic in his actions and was highly regarded by the public. He was recognized by both the government and the public as "the most worthy of the present emperor" and the most powerful contender for the throne.
But just because of the case of Zhang Yong crying at the temple, overnight, the government and the public were in disbelief.
After the Fengxian Zhang family became an honorary official of the restored country, Jiang Wuqi took Zhang Yong in for the sake of the reputation of the country. The resource of the martial arts has not shortchanged him in the slightest... What he got in the end was this result.
How can I not feel sad when I call Feng Gu?
The noble man from Tianhuang who would say, "Towards Daqi, is towards me." Now he asked himself - "Who is he?"
The pathos in Jiang Wuqi's words made an old man like him not feel sad?
But looking at Jiang Wuqi's back, he could only remain silent.
Silently watching Jiang Wuqi walk out of the palace, silently rolling up the words Jiang Wuqi had finished writing, silently like a lonely ghost floating in the huge palace...
From the thirty-ninth year of Yuanfeng, I wandered until now.
…
…
The highest mountain in Linzi City should be Yunwu Mountain.
On the plank road filled with clouds and fog, a figure wrapped in a white fox fur approached slowly.
At that time, there was only a faint light from the sky, which could not penetrate even if the mountain was so high.
The thin figure was walking in the clouds and fog. Although it was getting closer, it still felt far away.
Although Tianxiangyun Pavilion, one of the four famous museums in Linzi, is located here, Jiang Wuqi did not come here just for the beauty.
Every time I come in the morning light, I climb to the top of Yunwu Mountain and sit alone in the stone pavilion on the top of the mountain.
A pot of scented tea is hidden in the clouds, and I sit there from sunrise to noon.
After that time when he was naked and holding jade in front of Ziji Palace, he spent many days developing this habit.
It's more of a self-punishment than a kind of enjoyment.
For Jiang Wuqi, who had been suffering from cold poison since he was a baby, being in this windy and cold place on a high mountain was almost like being tortured.
If he needed to use these behaviors to express himself in the past, the cold poison could not have any impact on him at all to build confidence for the people in the Changsheng Palace. So now that he has fallen out of favor, what is the point of him coming here?
Could it be that the emperor's heart and the crown prince's position can only be obtained through hard work?
People like Jiang Wuqi would not do meaningless things.
Many people can’t help but think——
Did the eleventh prince of the Da Qi Empire use this cold place to practice cultivation?
Or, are you here to look for some clues?
Upon closer inspection, Yunwu Mountain was the first time Zhang Yong fought for Jiang Wuqi in front of others after joining the Changsheng Palace. His opponent at that time was none other than the now world-famous Jiang Qingyang.
At that time, Jiang Qingyang won the victory with an eight-tone flame bird, but Jiang Wuqi forgave Zhang Yong's defeat, did not change his trust, and won the hearts of the people.
Speaking of which, both Jiang Wang and Jiang Wuqi handled the situation properly and achieved a win-win result.
Who would have thought that it would be Zhang Yong who would later make Jiang Wang suspected of treason. Was it Zhang Yong who blocked Jiang Wuqi's path to heaven?
Things in the world are unpredictable.
Whether it was Cui Zhu assassinating the emperor or Zhang Yong's crying temple, they all happened too suddenly, without any warning in advance, and their landing points were extremely precise. Although the trouble caused by Qi Tianzi was easily wiped out by Qi Tianzi, one thing that has to be said is that the power of the Equality Country is lurking deep enough and concealed enough in this eastern hegemonic country, so that it can achieve these things. event.
It's a pity that the people who were mixed up have been mixed into mud.
Now Jiang Wang has cleared away his stigma and is shining brightly in the world. And what about Jiang Wuqi, the master of his Immortal Palace?
In the battle of Xingyue Yuan, Qi Tianjiao defeated Jing Tianjiao, and Qi Tianjiao defeated Jing Tianjiao in the future. The great Qi Dynasty had a great reputation!
When the flowers of the Great Qi Empire are blooming, how does Jiang Wuqi feel when he walks on the plank road of Yunwu Mountain this morning?
Feng Gu is not here today, and there are no other followers.
There are many powerful people in Linzi City, but no one will monitor every place all the time.
So when a rickety old man came towards us with a stick, it didn't seem to be a surprise.
The old man walked very slowly, which could be called a stumbling step.
But walking on this rickety plank road was very awkward for him, who was staggering as much as he was.
Jiang Wuqi didn't seem to feel awkward and kept walking forward.
It was too early and there was no third person on the plank road.
Those who spent the night on Yunwu Mountain would all be on the soft couches of Tianxiang Yun Pavilion.
For a moment, there was only the mountain breeze, the unstoppable cough, and the sound of the cane tapping on the plank road——
"Huhuhu..."
"Cough cough cough..."
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
