After all, Tiezhongtang had never slept soundly today. It was only noon, and the maid in the mansion was already in a hurry. She hurriedly rushed to Tiezhongtang's bed, lowered her head and timidly muttered a few words about the master, but she didn't want to sleep with the man who always slept very lightly. , I really slept peacefully today, snoring like thunder, shaking the inkstone on the table bank, but I also had a strong body lining the iron pond, with my hands around my belly, I didn't listen to the call of the maid at all, but fell asleep More and more comfortable.
The two people stood outside the house, listening to the snoring of the man's fountain in the house, and they couldn't stop laughing. They looked at each other, overjoyed, and immediately did not embarrass the eager-looking maid. Frankly speaking, he was not busy, and when Tiezhongtang woke up on his own, it would not be too late to discuss it again. They sat across from each other and drank tea, with still strong smiles.
"It seems that Iron Boy is indeed extremely sleepy. If the gang leader wants to, you might as well ask him to rest for a few days. You can't work hard from the end of the year to the end of the year. No matter how strong your body and bones are, you can't withstand the hard work." On the forehead. The old man with snow-white hair and sparse hair heard the thunder in his ears. He immediately couldn't laugh or cry. He shook his head repeatedly and cursed with a smile, "In the future, in government offices, there will be no need to place a drum in front of the door. All we need to do is move this kid's bed to the door. If anyone comes to complain, When he wakes him up, he realizes that someone is coming to his door. His snoring is so loud that even the thunder is hard to beat."
The middle-aged man, who was wearing a long gown, barely held back his smile, held up the tea soup, and looked at the dozens of dead trees in the courtyard, with countless green buds sprouting from the branches, with stamens like green jade, and countless crystal water mist scattered on them. , finally smiled comfortably.
"If he could be free, he wouldn't be called Tiezhongtang anymore. This gang has to take care of all the big and small affairs. When it comes to it, Mr. Lu and I seem to be hand-off shopkeepers, taking care of countless trivial matters. It would be unjust to throw it at the Iron Helmsman."
"This is inappropriate," Mr. Lu said with a smile on his face. He looked around at the exquisite furnishings in the courtyard. The bonsais and flower arrangements were all ready, waiting for the flowers to bloom after the spring warms up. "Everyone knows that that kid can't sit still. He has been practicing martial arts for many years. I have practiced hard kung fu, and since I joined the Boyu Gang, I have secured countless territories for us. Even though we have saints taking care of us, this territory is so vast that I have to punch it down for it to count."
The hard skills practiced by Tiezhongtang are not considered to be iron-headed and iron-clad, but they can also be regarded as very domineering and first-class. They set up a competition in the capital. Although they fought in more than dozens of battles, they were defeated by the generals who heard about it. However, it was also through this that he became famous and was included in the gang by the leader of the Boyu Gang. He has been a pillar for many years. Whether it is to consolidate the territory when the foundation of the gang is not stable, or to sort out the big and small things after the situation is stable, this seemingly rough-looking person Li, but he is a very thoughtful helmsman. He wants to do everything by himself, and it is difficult to have a moment of peace.
"Forget it, let him have a good rest today. When he has had enough sleep, he will get up." The rare gang leader smiled brightly and replied readily, "Brother Tie is not allowed to have a full rest at the end of the year. Today is a good time to take advantage of it. At this time, it would be a great gift to let him sleep for a while."
The two of them just drank tea. After a while, the maid came forward to change the tea leaves. Mr. Lu sighed with emotion, "I don't know how many years have passed since the covenant was signed. Fortunately, the covenant is still there. It has allowed me, Yizhang, to live in peace for many years. Otherwise, in normal times, when the war is raging, I would have no time to spare. Just being able to save my own life and get two mouthfuls of food is considered to be the protection of the gods, Bodhisattvas and gods."
"Counting this year, it happens to be only one year. Our emperor, Yi Zhang, has been in power and ascended the throne for half a hundred years. Life is short, and it is really hard to endure." The middle-aged man put down his cup and sighed with emotion. , "The longer the covenant lasts, the more time the people will have to escape from the old smoke."
Mr. Lu put down his cup and sighed, "Hanging."
Qi Xuanfeng, the leader of the Boyu Clan, has been in the army for generations, and his grandfather has been in the army for two generations. His grandfather joined the army as a young man. With his outstanding military exploits, he rose from being an ordinary soldier to the position of a second-rank military attache. This is how he got to know the current emperor. , after hearing what the old man said, he shook his head and sighed.
"I can't hide it from Mr. Lu. A few days ago, I heard that Your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition. I wonder if it can be properly nursed back to health this time."
As soon as these four words were revealed, the old man's brows immediately furrowed and his eyes asked inquiringly, but Qi Xuanfeng just nodded silently, feeling confused at the moment.
The covenant is still true, but for many years, the peace and stability in various places are still based on the word stability. When countless monsters came out of the North Yanze to attack Zihao, no one rushed to help, and they all stood with their hands behind their backs, waiting for Zihao. The wave of evil spirits in the Hao Kingdom is surging. Fortunately, it is suppressed by the immortal family and the majestic military armor. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be an unstoppable enemy invasion. This paper covenant may sound solid, but in the final analysis, it is not Unshakable.
The four words "dragon body is not good" are really not good words for Yi Zhang.
"In times of war and turmoil, the words "protect oneself wisely" become particularly laughable. Moreover, in troubled times, it is not easy to protect oneself without worries." Qi Xuanfeng also lost his mind about drinking tea for a while and sighed.
But Mr. Lu smiled meaninglessly, "If the war breaks out again, there is no way to protect yourself. Even an old man like me who is half buried in the ground always wants to go to the battlefield and see what an arrow is." If it rains like rain, what does it mean to wrap a corpse in horse leather?"
"Talk about something else," Qi Xuanfeng's voice dropped slightly, probably remembering some old things, and he smiled in a low voice, "Last year, when Tiezhongtang and the brothers in the gang were attacked, I felt a little weird. The Boyu Gang He rarely causes trouble, his subordinates have been stable for many years, and he has a lot of rules. How could he be attacked at a critical moment when he is short of manpower? Now it seems that there may be someone behind him to test."
"Test us how to deal with it?" The old man frowned.
"Testing how much the emperor behind you and me will give in." Qi Xuanfeng sneered, "Many discerning people who are very hidden can actually guess who is behind the Boyu Gang. Otherwise, under the emperor's feet, it is clear that It is a gangster gang, how can it act so unscrupulously, and even though the outside gangs have been jealous for many years and have resorted to countless open and secret arrows, it has never shaken its foundation. The saint's body is worrying, and it is obvious that many old foxes cannot hide their tails. They all stepped forward to test it. Without the help of Yun Zhong, Tie Xiaozi was afraid that he would not be able to save his life. Firstly, this matter tested the saint's bottom line. Secondly, he could try to see what the current saint's dragon body was like. If it were mud. When a Bodhisattva crosses a river, he cannot save himself, so changes in the court are likely to occur. He kills two birds with one stone, and it is a good calculation."
Qi Xuanfeng's chess skills have always been teased and ridiculed by Mr. Lu, saying that his vision is too narrow and difficult to see from the beginning to the end. However, chess and various things in the world can sometimes not be generalized. These words made the old man feel a little uneasy. He couldn't drink even a little bit of tea, so he put down the tea soup and frowned.
"That's how it should be."
"Soldiers come to block it, water comes to cover it, and water comes and earth covers it. Even in the turbulent times of Yizhang, not even an inch of the river and mountains were lost. The emperor is still in peace. You and I are very anxious." After having some free time, Qi Xuanfeng picked up the cup and drank the hot tea in one gulp.
In the dormitory of Yizhang Imperial City, there suddenly seemed to be some old man. He put on his clothes and looked at the spring rain falling outside again. Standing beside him was a young man with a solemn expression, who was quite puzzled.
"Based on my body and bones, according to the imperial doctor, I can survive for at least another ten years, but after all, it was said from the imperial doctor's mouth that even if I commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, I will have to say a few more years, but I have to cut off half of it first. , which is slightly more believable.”
The wind is calm today, the spring rain is blowing, and silver spider silk is hanging down from the sky, which is very eye-catching. The sky is not gloomy, but there are streams of light seeping out of the sea of clouds, and it is raining on a sunny day.
"In Rongan's opinion, how should we decide on the matter of establishing a crown prince?" The old man had already seen the young man's intentions, and the old man smiled heartily, "But it doesn't matter. I know that you have always been too lazy to get involved in officialdom and palace affairs, let alone It’s okay to talk about colluding with party members and befriending the prince, but it’s just casual chatter.”
Chao Rongan hesitated for a long time, carefully weighed his words, and said word by word, "Since the last time I killed the chicken to scare the monkeys and restrained the eldest prince's thoughts for the Holy One, it seems that the eldest prince has been stable for a long time. He sealed the Xizheng Prince's Palace and concentrated on establishing himself in Tibet. He studied in the library and often went out to visit his teacher in private. In just one or two years, he seemed to have stabilized his mind and no longer had all kinds of thoughts. However, the second prince remained as before, with a good nature and good conduct, and often came to visit. Your Majesty, you don’t care about what others think. Although your thoughts are not comprehensive and can easily arouse suspicion, your filial piety is good."
"Going back a few years, with your character, I'm afraid you would have been open-minded and recommended the second prince to succeed the throne. But now, how come you suddenly changed your temper and learned to be so secretive?" the old man joked. He smiled and said that he looked a little old when he looked sick, and his movements were not smooth, but his mood was still as open-minded as before, and he patted Chao Rong'an on the shoulder very casually.
Chao Rong'an was confused, not because the old man teased him repeatedly, but because when he mentioned the eldest prince, the old man's face did not show the slightest hint of embarrassment, but instead showed a slight smile.
"In the past, I once saw someone training a monkey in the busy city of Beijing. He could not suppress his interest and came forward to watch. The little monkey was very clever and not so ferocious in appearance. He acted according to the old man's command and often caused trouble. The audience around me was astonished, and it was considered a very prosperous business as the New Year was approaching."
"The people who train monkeys make a living from this. They always take good care of the little monkeys, for fear of being bumped or left behind. However, they are often whipped by their masters. Rong An knows why most monkey trainers whip Lai A hozen that makes a living?”
The young man hesitated, and finally shook his head slightly.
"The hozen's hands and feet are not clean, and after all, its spiritual roots have not yet been opened, so it often steals food secretly."
"Actually, the same goes for this golden chair. I can give it to others, but others can't take it. Either to stir up trouble or show covetous thoughts. That's called treason."
