On the night when Si Xiu left Wushuang City, a thief sneaked into the Peking Palace. The wealthy families in Wushuang City are easy to identify, and the construction materials of ordinary houses can be distinguished, let alone a compound like the Peking Palace.
Wealth is indeed wealth, but unfortunately not everyone can come. During the day, Sixiu wanted to come in but Long Yu stopped him outside. At night, a thief who wanted to come in was also discovered and caught by Long Yu.
Although the rights of the four kings have been greatly weakened, no one will ask a question when dealing with a thief. Generally, the ruthless wealthy family will just beat him to death and bury his body. Even worse, he will be beaten to death. Very few people will report it to the official or let him go. of.
Some thieves have been doing business with officials all year round. The criminal laws of the Qi Dynasty were very strict. Some officials did not dare to commit corruption. They would do business with thieves and robbers privately and share the stolen goods. If the thief was caught by mistake, the officials would quietly let him go. Over time, Very few people report to the official.
But Long Yu didn't bother to do such a thing. A thief was not worth his while, not to mention there was no loss. Everyone in the Criminal Department was asleep at night, and Long Yu didn't want a thief staying in his home, so he sent someone to throw the thief away. He went to the Guards barracks and was detained by them. During the day, he was sent to the Ministry of Punishment.
Although Long Yu retired from the court to recuperate, he was still granted the throne by the Four Kings after all. A thief appeared in Wushuang City and stole into the prince's home. The Qilin Army who was responsible for the inspection had neglected his duty. It would not look good after reporting it. The Commander-in-Chief of the Qilin Army Zhuo Qi hurriedly came to the palace to apologize.
In fact, Long Yu didn't care, and naturally he wouldn't report it to the police. But Zhuo Qi insisted on coming to apologize, so it was hard to turn people away.
"Master Zhuo, you don't have to be like this. You can just deal with this thief on your own, why bother with all the trouble!"
Zhuo Qi looked around and said to the guards beside him: "You go out first and don't allow others to come near this place!"
"Yes, sir!" Several Qilin sergeants around him left the house and patrolled around.
Long Yu didn't understand what he meant and asked, "Master Zhuo, what is this?"
Zhuo Qi pressed his body on the table, approached Long Yu and whispered, "Does Master Long still remember the man in black?"
"Of course I remember, the man in black who once assassinated the emperor's brother! Wasn't he already killed?"
"On that day, the fourth show of Jinghai Cihangzhai entered the city, and I happened to be beside him. Han Bing wanted to humiliate the emperor, but Lu Yu stopped him, so the two had a brief fight."
Long Yu still didn't understand: "How dare the people from Jinghai Cihangzhai humiliate the emperor?"
"That was the first time I saw Lu Yu take action. Although he was using a sword, I will never forget that strange whirlpool!" After finishing speaking, Zhuo Qi looked at his weak arms.
"Xuan Long Po!?" Long Yu said with wide eyes.
"I don't know about this martial art, but it's exactly the same as the man in black's cyclone, and it's definitely not wrong!"
Xuanlong Po is a martial art passed down by a single lineage. There are only a few people who know it. After Hai Chengfeng's death, it is rumored that Xuanlongpo has been lost. However, it has always been a mystery that the men in black can do it. Now the personal bodyguard Lu Yu can do it. Most likely it's...
Lu Yu is the man in black! The man in black who once assassinated the emperor is now the emperor's personal bodyguard.
Qiang Rulongyu couldn't react for a moment. His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about all the past events, and he came to a simple and clear conclusion.
"What is this?" Long Yu couldn't understand anymore.
"Master Long should have his own thoughts in his mind. I have no other intentions. Lei Wu and I have been through life and death for many years. Now I can only regret that his life was not worth it. He wasted his life and abandoned his son. I hope that Long Take care, sir! Farewell!"
People who practice martial arts never delay or hesitate in doing things. Once the words have been spoken, it depends on God's will to decide what happens next.
This kind of thing has happened many times recently. If Lu Yu is a man in black, then Qi Ping'a's death is a holy will. This can also explain that the emperor was not seriously injured twice. What about King Qicheng?
Long Yu met King Qicheng that day. Although King Qicheng admitted the fact of treason, he was obviously hesitant to speak. There must be a hidden secret.
Chu Wen’s death? Yucheng’s death? Liang Chen’s death? A series of questions kept lingering in Long Yu's heart, and the deaths of these people indirectly told him, what did they expect? What can I do?
Long Yu didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to think about it. The reality was too harsh, and people often chose to escape.
The weather in June is warm and comfortable, and everything on earth is flourishing. You can get it, but you can't get it. If you don't let it go, you won't get it.
After Jinghai Cihangzhai made such a fuss, the reputation of the Five Holy Lands became even more famous. It would be a great honor for the Qi Dynasty to cooperate with them in catching thieves.
As for the four girls who were injured by Long Yu, more people will think that they are not good at learning, and Long Yu's reputation as the God of War has become more famous. It is only the Qi Dynasty, or the person in charge of this dynasty, Liu Cheng, who is embarrassed.
Liu Cheng would think that Han Bing's humiliation to him was embarrassing, but he never thought that it was a matter of the entire Qi Dynasty. This dynasty was not as powerful in people's hearts as they imagined.
Things must be done bit by bit, and the road must be walked step by step!
Even if I lose face, some things still have to be done and the road still needs to be walked.
The next day, Emperor Liu Cheng drove to the Peking Palace, nominally to express his condolences to his long-sworn brother, Long Yu, the dynasty's god of war. This is also Long Yutian's great honor. Since Liu Cheng ascended the throne, he has never visited any courtier's palace. This is the first time he has come to the Peking Palace.
It seems that since the last time he discussed the encirclement and suppression of King Qicheng in court, Long Yu no longer knows this royal brother who has been sworn for many years, no! Maybe I didn’t know him at that time, I just didn’t know.
Meeting Long Yu again was full of emotions. Liu Cheng's familiar face was full of strangeness and confusion.
"Long Yu, a humble minister, comes to see Your Majesty!" Long Yu was very respectful in his words.
Liu Cheng hurriedly helped Long Yu up and said with a smile: "Brother Long, you're welcome, why should you and I be like this!"
I don't know if she was hallucinating, but Long Yu felt Liu Cheng's hand holding her up was shaking. Is it because of his age?
Or is it because of fear...?
Long Yu greeted the holy driver at the door and welcomed the emperor into the palace.
Liu Cheng and Long Yu took a stroll in the garden of the mansion.
For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say and froze. Long Yu didn't know the purpose of the emperor's coming here and couldn't speak first. The two of them kept walking back and forth as if they were walking in circles.
As time goes by, no matter how beautiful the friendship once was, it will be diluted and forgotten. As luck goes by, there will be nothing left to say when we meet again. There may still be an impression in our hearts, but we will never mention it again. and.
There are too many things that have happened during this period, more than what has been experienced in the past thirty years, and it is difficult for people to adapt to these changes, especially those whose thinking has been fixed.
"Brother Long Yu is in good health recently. Did the encirclement and suppression of King Qicheng go well that day?" Liu Cheng finally broke the deadlock.
"Thanks to the Emperor, everything goes well and I am in good health!" Long Yu could hear that the words were unfamiliar.
"That's good. I was originally worried that you are getting older now, plus you have been fighting for many years, so you should rest more and save yourself a lot of trouble!"
"I should take care of myself. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
You say something and I answer something, without saying anything unnecessary. Long Yu knew in his heart that the emperor must have something to do when he came to the house at this time, and he would not come for no reason.
Only when the emperor speaks first can he have room for maneuver, and the best strategy is to stop quietly.
Unknowingly, the two of them walked to Wangchang Tower. Looking at the Wangchang Tower that he had built for Long Yu, Liu Cheng felt a little unbearable and a little palpitating in his heart.
The two of them climbed up to the Wangchang Tower together and watched the entire Wushuang City come into view. Liu Cheng sighed at the glory he had built.
"God has given you an unparalleled city, and gods have given you the road to eternal life!"
"How wonderful it would be if one day people could live forever! You don't have to worry about what happens after you die, and you can pursue your dreams without hesitation. Time is the biggest limit given by God!"
Liu Cheng's words revealed the sadness of old age. Even though he has recovered from a serious illness, his body and bones are not as good as before. How much time and years are left to waste?
Long Yu couldn't bear it, as if she saw the late hero walking to the edge of the cliff, lamenting the glory of his life, and then had to jump.
Liu Cheng was not young thirty years ago, but his body in his fifties was full of vitality and ambition. In order to end the misery of war, he established a hope and a dream in a remote place. As everyone worked together With their efforts, this hope grew into today's towering Shuqi Dynasty, and also brought a chance to breathe to this war-torn land, with today's prosperous Wushuang City.
"Some time ago, I was seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed. A lot of things happened. That shameless prince asked you to go back home to recuperate. It's really hard for you!"
"The Crown Prince naturally has this right. He can go back to his home to recuperate and be happy and peaceful!"
Finally getting to the point, Long Yu’s answer was flawless.
"Hey! It's a pity that I didn't recover a few days earlier, otherwise I could have stopped this matter. I have already reprimanded the prince, but he is the future king after all. The imperial order cannot be changed overnight, otherwise how can he convince the world!"
After speaking, Liu Cheng looked specifically at Long Yu's reaction next to him.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. I have been fighting for many years and have long been tired. I have this opportunity to be happy and free. There is no need to worry about it!"
"The prince has just started to get involved in the government affairs. He doesn't understand many things. How can he control the situation without any important ministers in the government? You may as well step down now and take good care of your body. Poor me, I still have to help him with the affairs of the government. Only when things are straightened out can you rest assured!"
"Your Majesty, you must work harder. The prince has been in charge of the court for some time. I think it's good!"
Long Yu's title to the emperor has changed. In the past, he was called "Brother Emperor" when he went to court, but now he is called "Your Majesty". Liu Cheng was not aware of this "small" change at all.
The respectful Long Yu didn't look like a great master with strong martial arts at all. Liu Cheng seemed very satisfied with Long Yu's answer and said with a smile: "Brother Long Yu, has his martial arts progressed over the years and has his injuries improved?"
"Hey, after going to court every day for these years, my martial arts has long since declined, and my injuries are still the same as before, which limits my martial arts and makes no progress at all!"
Liu Cheng hurriedly comforted: "I know that you are a martial artist. I will continue to send people to find good medicine in order to cure your injury as soon as possible, so as to take a step further and reach the legendary realm!!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
On a June day, the wind turns, the sun rises, and the moon sets.
June in Kyushu is windy, the sun rises for a long time, and the moon sets quickly, so there is such a proverb. There is a proverb for every month to describe the weather characteristics of that month. Some farmers rely on their ancestors' The passed down experience is used to grow food to avoid disasters caused by dry weather, and harvest a bumper harvest when it rains. The family is happy and enjoys the good blessings of life.
