The lame Taoist said:
"I would like to ask your majesty to issue another imperial edict that the left prime minister and the eight virtuous kings must not leave the prime minister's mansion within three days, otherwise, the reform will be terminated."
Chu Huizong drafted another imperial edict and handed the two imperial edicts to the lame Taoist.
The lame Taoist received the imperial edict, and in a flash, he turned into countless figures and went in all directions.
In Zuo Xiang's Mansion, Zhuge Banshan and the Eight Wise Kings were fighting inextricably on the chessboard. Suddenly they felt uneasy and were about to do a fortune telling. The illusory figure of a lame Taoist appeared next to him and said:
"The Eight Wise Kings and Zuo Xiang received the order."
The lame Taoist did not read the imperial edict, but directly threw it on the chessboard, and the illusory figure was instantly shattered.
The lame Taoist did not dare to announce the decree, nor did he dare to stay too long, lest he be besieged by the angry Zhuge Banshan and the Eight Sage Kings.
The Eight Wise Kings glanced at the imperial edict and sighed:
"Bai Suzhen has gone too far and made His Majesty feel threatened. Your Majesty is going to put all his efforts into it!"
Zhuge Banshan said:
"Your Majesty is indeed very angry. The people below may not be willing to fight for their lives. As long as Xu Xian does not have murderous intentions, there is still room for redemption."
The Eight Wise Kings said:
"Brother Banshan, please do the math first, and then we will decide whether to obey the order. If it will bring irreversible consequences, perhaps the only option is to resist the order."
Zhuge Banshan smiled bitterly and said:
“No matter what the outcome is, we can’t resist.
Because Ouyang Xi is targeting the reform. If we resist, the reform will be over. "
The Eight Wise Kings said:
"Da Chu wanted to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun, but the treasury was empty and there was no money to fight the war.
Reform is the general trend. Your Majesty is just bewitched by the treacherous minister Ouyang Xi and will not really stop the reform.
If Xu Xian is in need, why should we resist? "
Zhuge Banshan said:
"Reform is my way, Ouyang Xi asked His Majesty to threaten to stop the reform, which made the old Taoist heart unstable, the secret of heaven was messed up, and it was impossible to deduce it.
However, Xu Xian is not a flower in the greenhouse. I believe he can cope with the current situation. "
The Eight Wise Kings said:
"We are all in the same boat. When Xu Xian is in danger, do we really have to stand by and watch?"
Zhuge Banshan said:
“The imperial edict only told us not to leave the Prime Minister Zuo’s Mansion, but it didn’t say we couldn’t send people out to inquire about information.
We first send people out to inquire about the news. If Xu Xian is really in danger, it will not be too late for us to resist the order. "
The Eight Sages felt that Zhuge Banshan's words made sense and decided to send people out to inquire about the news first.
In Taiwei's Mansion, after Gao Yanei returned to the house, he pretended to be in bed and pretended to be sick, while Lu Qian went to find Gao Taiwei.
Seeing Captain Gao, Lu Qian fell to the ground and said with tears:
“Sir Taiwei, the young master is lovesick and is already dying?
Mr. Taiwei must save the young master. "
Frowning his brows, Lieutenant Gao said displeasedly:
"Der wasn't you nice this morning? What's wrong? Whose girl have you fallen in love with again?"
Gao Yanei's original name was Gao Shide, and Gao Taiwei was usually called De'er, which means De's noble character.
Captain Gao hopes that Gao Yanei can be a man of noble character, but Gao Yanei is a playboy who is addicted to wine and sex.
Captain Gao would sometimes persuade Gao Yanei to be a good person and take over his duties in the future.
Gao Yamen failed to accomplish anything but failed a lot, and often did things that were out of line.
If Gao Yanei really gets into trouble, Captain Gao will step in to help him settle it.
Lu Qian and Gao Yanei worked together, and they did a lot of immoral things together.
Captain Gao knew this well and thought that Gao Yanei must be in trouble again.
However, this time, to Captain Gao's surprise, he was asked to take action against Lin Chong due to lack of strength.
As long as Lin Chong is not around, Gao Yanei can take Lin Chong's wife home.
After hearing what Lu Qian said, Lieutenant Gao was furious, kicked Lu Qian away, and cursed:
"I, the noble Lieutenant, help you rob good women? Where is the law of heaven? Where is the law of the country?"
It's not like Captain Gao has never done anything illegal or disciplinary, but it's all for money or status, or to deal with political opponents.
It is simply ridiculous to let Captain Gao take action to get rid of Lin Chong just to help Gao Yanei rob a good woman.
When Gao Yanei got into trouble, Gao Taiwei helped him calm down the trouble. However, Gao Taiwei couldn't bear the punishment of his adopted son Gao Yanei under the national law. He had no choice but to watch Gao Yanei be executed or exiled.
Since Gao Yanei was fine, Gao Taiwei was a person of status and status after all, so he had to consider the impact and not dare to go too far.
Seeing that Captain Gao was angry, Lu Qian hurriedly said:
"I am humble and loyal to my humble position, but I cannot bear to see the young master so distressed by lovesickness that he loses his life. Please tell me, Lord Taiwei."
Captain Gao shouted angrily:
"Lu Qian, please tell De'er that if he likes that girl, I will go to Xiaping and help him find a matchmaker to marry her.
As for him falling in love with Mrs. Lin Chong, let him give up.
If he really can't let go and dies, I will pretend that I don't have this adopted son. "
Lu Qian saw that Lieutenant Gao was resolute and the plan would definitely not work. He could only go back and find other ways with Gao Yanei and said:
"Yes, I am humble enough to obey the teachings!"
Lu Qian was about to leave when a ray of light fell from the sky.
"Wait a minute, Captain Gao takes the order!"
The slightly illusory incarnation of the lame Taoist appeared in the Taiwei Mansion.
Lieutenant Gao and Lu Qian knelt on the ground and said in unison:
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
The lame Taoist unfolded the imperial edict, faced Captain Gao, and said:
"Taibai Jingtian, White Snake is in troubled times. In order to protect the country, Your Majesty calls on all officials in Da Chu to be diligent and diligent.
There are many officials in Dachu, and your Majesty does not have that much time, so he only issued this imperial edict. The specific things you have to do will be dictated by Pindao.
Lieutenant Gao, are you willing to accept the order? "
Taiwei Gao saw the eight seal characters filled with dragon energy and the four words "I am here in person" in the imperial edict, and knew that it was really the imperial edict of Huizong of Chu, and said:
"What is your majesty's decree? Please tell the Taoist priest clearly. I will go through fire and water, even if I die."
Seeing that Captain Gao was willing to accept the order, the lame Taoist said:
"Liu Taiwei, your adopted son Gao Shide is a very important person and a future hero. It is related to the survival of Da Chu. You must try your best to cooperate with him and fulfill all his wishes without letting him suffer any injustice."
After finishing speaking, the lame Taoist's incarnation turned into a blur of light and shadow and disappeared.
Lieutenant Gao and Lu Qian looked at each other, this imperial edict was too outrageous!
After a while, Lieutenant Gao put on a smile and asked:
"Marquis Lu Yu, what do you want from De'er? Please say it again carefully. You can't wrong De'er."
Captain Gao and Lu Qian discussed it and acted according to their plan.
In the name of wanting to see Lin Chong's newly bought sword, Captain Gao asked two agents to introduce Lin Chong into the Taiwei's mansion.
When you go to a place, you will be surrounded by green railings. The two of them led Lin Chong to the front of the hall and said:
"Teacher, you just need to stay here for a little while until we go in and report to the captain."
Lin Chong held the sword and stood in front of the eaves, and the two of them went in.
After a cup of tea, no one came out. Lin Chong was puzzled. When he looked into the curtain, he saw four green characters on his forehead, which read:
"White Tiger Festival Hall."
Lin Chong suddenly realized this and thought to himself:
"The White Tiger Festival Hall is where major military matters are discussed. How dare you enter without reason?"
When I was eager to turn around, I heard the sound of boots and footsteps, and a person came in from outside.
When Lin Chong looked, it was none other than Captain Gao.
When Lin Chong saw him, he held his sword and shouted forward.
The Taiwei shouted:
"Lin Chong, how dare you enter the White Tiger Festival Hall without calling me? Do you know the law?
You have a knife in your hand. Could it be that you came to assassinate me? "
Lin Chong bowed and said:
"Your Excellency Taiwei, you are aware of this. Just now, two agents called Lin Chong, saying that the Taiwei wanted to see his subordinate's precious sword."
The Taiwei shouted:
"Where is Cheng Ju?"
Lin Chong said: "The two of them have thrown themselves into the hall."
The Taiwei said: "Nonsense! You dare to enter my palace! Fight with me to capture this guy!"
Before he finished speaking, more than twenty people walked out of the side room, pushing Lin Chong down and dragging him down, just like an eagle chasing a purple swallow, like a tiger eating a lamb.
Captain Gao said angrily:
"Since you are the leader of the imperial army, you still don't know the law. Why do you enter the festival hall with a sharp knife in your hand and want to kill me?"
After Captain Gao captured Lin Chong, Lu Qian followed the plan and came to the Lin Mansion. When he saw Mrs. Zhang, he said:
"Sister-in-law, it's not good. Lin Chong rushed into the White Tiger Festival Hall like a madman and wanted to assassinate the Taiwei. Please go over and try to persuade him."
Mrs. Zhang also thought that Lin Chong was confused because of the incident in Gao Yanei, and was afraid that something might happen to Lin Chong, so she said:
"Brother Lu, take me with you quickly."
Lu Qian and Zhang came to the Taiwei Mansion, walked into a courtyard, and said:
"Lin Chong is inside."
The door was ajar. Mrs. Zhang pushed it open, but she didn't see Lin Chong and shouted:
"Ms. sir, don't be impulsive."
"Madam, my husband is here."
Gao Yanei walked out of the shadows with a magic knife in his hand, a joking smile on his face.
Seeing that it was Gao Yanei, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked:
"Where is my husband? Is he okay?"
Gao Yanei said with a smile:
"Madam, your husband is here fine, what can happen?"
Worried that something might happen to Lin Chong, Zhang ignored Gao Yanei's rude words and said:
"I'm asking my husband Lin Chong, where is he?"
Gao Yanei shook the magic knife in his hand and said with a sinister smile:
"To tell you the truth, Lin Chong has become the dead soul under my sword.
If you don't want to die, just serve me obediently.
Otherwise, I will send you down to reunite with Lin Chong. "
Hearing Lin Chong's tragic accident, there was a sudden bang in Zhang's head, her face instantly turned pale, and she said sadly:
"Did you really kill my husband Lin Chong?"
Gao Yanei raised his magic sword levelly, pointed it at Mrs. Zhang, and said with a sneer:
"Yes, I stabbed it with the knife, stirred it again, and dug out Lin Chong's heart."
Zhang imagined Lin Chong's appearance when he was killed by the magic sword, smiled sadly, and rushed towards Gao Yanei's magic sword.
The magic knife was made from Fa Hai's Zen staff. Although its power did not reach the level of innate spiritual treasures, it was still as sharp as clay.
Zhang rushed towards the magic knife and was directly pierced through the heart by the magic knife.
Gao Yanei did not expect Zhang to be so fierce and wanted to take back the magic knife, but was a step too late.
Thinking of what he said just now, Gao Yanei laughed ferociously, Luck raised the knife, and stirred the magic knife fiercely, but it did not dig out Zhang's heart, but only turned half of Zhang's body into blood and mud.
Looking at Ms. Zhang's figure lying in a pool of blood and the ground stained red with blood, Gao Yanei's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, the corner of his mouth raised a cruel arc, and he said hatefully:
"Lin Chong, this young master will cut you into pieces."
