Wudang Mountain, with green vegetation and white clouds, is like a holy land of immortals, full of solemnity and vitality.
In the Zhenwu Hall, Cao Zhengchun looked at the Taoist Supreme Zhang Sanfeng, who was tall and tall but had the appearance of an immortal, on the main seat, and saluted respectfully:
"Reporting to Master Zhang, we have found out everything about Hero Mei Niansheng Mei."
"Mei Daxia's three disciples, "Five Cloud Hands" Wan Zhenshan, "Land Dragon" Yan Daping, and "Tie Suo Hengjiang" Qi Changfa, coveted Liancheng's treasures and Shenzhao Sutra, so they teamed up to poison Mei Daxia in order to seize the real Liancheng. We tried to force him to tell the secret of the Divine Illumination Sutra, but Hero Mei did not die, but escaped. He must have been hiding to recuperate these years, and no one knows his specific whereabouts."
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng immediately stood up from his chair and said in shock: "What did you say? Mei Niansheng is not dead?"
"Yes! These were all forced from the mouths of Wan Zhenshan and Yan Daping!"
Cao Zhengchun said, waving his hand outside, and immediately two men came in dragging two dying and disheveled people.
These two people were Wan Zhenshan and Yan Daping!
At Tianning Temple that day, the two wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape, but because they promised Zhang Sanfeng to track down Mei Niansheng, Yu Huatian kept watching them, so how could they escape?
Before the two could escape, they were captured by Dongchang's policemen. After an interrogation, the two confessed everything, including how they poisoned their master back then and the process of searching for Liancheng's treasure over the years.
Cao Zhengchun glanced at these two people, then looked at Zhang Sanfeng, and said: "Zhenzhen Zhang, these two are Wan Zhenshan and Yan Daping, and Qi Changfa of the Iron Suo Hengjiang. They should have died in the hands of the Qinglong Society."
Zhang Sanfeng walked up to the two of them, stared at them with stern eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Mei Niansheng now?"
The two of them had been in the Jinyiwei Prison for more than ten days, and no matter how hard their bones were, they were soft. When Zhang Sanfeng asked him, his body trembled subconsciously, and then Wan Zhenshan quickly replied without thinking: "Master was injured that year. It’s very serious, we don’t know where he has gone, we have been secretly searching for the Liancheng treasure for these years, and we don’t dare to show up, just because we are worried that the master will come back to clean up the house.”
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
He doesn't have many old friends, and most of them have passed away. Mei Niansheng is one of the few, otherwise he would not personally lead people to Jingzhou City to inquire about her whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, I still didn't find out.
After a moment, Zhang Sanfeng lowered his head and looked at Wan Zhenshan and Wan Zhenshan, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, and said: "I didn't expect that Brother Mei, a hero, would accept you two traitors. Today, Pindao will clear the door for Brother Mei!"
After saying that, Zhang Sanfeng stretched out his hands and killed the two of them with one palm.
The two fell to the ground, smiling in relief.
"It's really easy for you to let you die like this!"
Looking at the smiles on their faces, Zhang Sanfeng said bitterly.
Next to him, Cao Zhengchun's mouth twitched. No wonder the governor didn't let others come here. This Taoist Supreme has a really bad temper. And at such an old age, he is still so murderous. He is not a Taoist master at all. The cultivation and style...
At this time, Zhang Sanfeng looked at Cao Zhengchun and said in a deep voice: "This matter has been brought to the attention of the court. You go back and report to Little Friend Yuhuatian, saying that I, Zhang Sanfeng, owe him a favor."
Cao Zhengchun said quickly: "Master, you're too polite. This matter was originally promised by the governor, but now we are just fulfilling the promise."
After saying that, Cao Zhengchun hesitated for a moment and said: "However, I'm afraid there will be something that requires real people's help."
Zhang Sanfeng frowned: "You are really good at climbing along the pole. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold a ceremony to establish the crown prince in half a month. The governor invited the real person to go to the capital to observe the ceremony and witness the establishment of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty." Cao Zhengchun said quickly.
Zhang Sanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Just watching the ceremony?"
Cao Zhengchun smiled and said: "If someone disrupts the situation at that time, I will ask a real person to help me even if I have no choice."
Zhang Sanfeng snorted coldly: "I know it's not that simple!"
After saying that, he pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go, Pindao will be there as promised for the crown prince ceremony in half a month!"
"Thank you, Masato!"
Cao Zhengchun immediately let out a sigh of relief and saluted quickly: "Then we will go back to recover first. I will take my leave."
After speaking, Cao Zhengchun turned and left.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at his leaving back, frowned, and murmured in a low voice: "You can't help yourself when you're in the rivers and lakes! Pindao has boarded a pirate ship, and it's too late to get off!"
With that said, Zhang Sanfeng let out a long sigh, turned around and left the Zhenwu Palace, headed towards the back mountain, and continued to retreat.
…
Time passed by, and half a month passed quietly.
In the past half month, the war at the border seems to be under control, and there is no bad news for the time being.
But at the beginning of the war, it is normal to fight for a year and a half or even several years. Especially in this kind of war between countries, the battle is based on the foundation and the national strength. Unless the difference in strength is too big, there will be no one. The country will be destroyed by other dynasties in a single battle.
The imperial court sent reinforcements, and the situation was temporarily under control. The people were no longer as frightened as before, and they all turned their attention to another matter——
The ceremony of establishing the crown prince of Ming Dynasty!
On this day, the capital city was extremely lively, with people coming and going, and there were voices everywhere discussing the matter of establishing a prince.
In fact, the people didn't know where they learned about the story about Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Tianqi and the queen and prince who would be canonized today, and everyone was discussing it with great interest.
There are even some storytellers who compiled this matter into a book.
In the south of the city, above Qingyun Tower.
Snapped--
With the sound of Xingmu knocking on the table, everyone in the restaurant became excited and turned their attention to the old storyteller on the storyboard.
"Talk about the story of our Emperor and Queen of the Ming Dynasty. It is truly heart-warming and shocking. It is a long story. I will tell you about it today."
As soon as the old man closed the fan in his hand, he was about to speak, but suddenly a sneer came from the building: "You can pull it off, now who doesn't know that the Queen was originally an ordinary palace maid, and she was lucky enough to be pregnant with a dragon by the emperor. If it hadn’t been for Mr. Yu from Xichang who took her out of the palace to give birth to her son, I’m afraid she would have been beaten to death long ago, and there wouldn’t be any earth-shattering story!”
"that is!"
"It's been the same thing for the past two days. We're tired of hearing it. Are you tired of it?"
"Change the story!"
Everyone booed.
The old man smiled coquettishly, not daring to offend the public, so he could only change his subject and said: "Well, since you gentlemen are not interested in this story, I will tell you about the story between Zhuo Yihang, a great disciple of Wudang, and Everyone, please listen to the story about the white-haired female devil who practices colorful clothes in Tianshan Mountain."
"It is said that the white-haired witch who practices neon clothes has a peerless appearance and hates evil. She was originally a chivalrous woman of the generation and never wanted to become a bandit. Zhuo Yihang, a high-ranking disciple of Wudang, is a rising star of Wudang, just like Song Qingshu, the son of the current Wudang leader Song Yuanqiao. Even this Zhuo Yifan's qualifications are far superior to that of Song Qingshu!
As everyone knows, since Sanfeng Taoist Master retired, the Wudang Seven Heroes have died and been injured, and they cannot afford to be a family. The original Wudang Sect, the leader of the Northern Taoist Sect, has shown signs of decline, but unexpectedly, a new master has emerged. The genius Zhuo Yihang.
One time, Zhuo Yihang went down the mountain for training and happened to meet Lian Nishang. The two didn't know each other before they fought, and then they fell in love...
However, Lian Nishang is the leader of the green forest bandits in the southwest area, and Zhuo Yihang is the leader of the new generation of Wudang disciples. How could Wudang agree to let him combine with a green forest bandit.
On the one hand, he has a sect that has nurtured him, and on the other hand, he loves Lian Nishang. In the end, Zhuo Yihang chose the sect that raised him. For this reason, Lian Nishang made a big fuss in Wudang. His hair turned gray overnight, and the white-haired witch appeared..."
In the corner of the restaurant, there were six men with extraordinary temperament sitting at the same table, attracting frequent glances from the people around them.
These six people were surprisingly Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, Hua Manlou, Fu Hongxue, Sikong Zhaixing and Ye Kai.
At this time, listening to the old man's story, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ximen Chuixue who was holding a sword and drinking wine, and said: "Hey, Ximen, I heard that Nishang Lian is also a master of swordsmanship. Do you think her swordsmanship can be compared to the swordsmanship?" Which ones are on the list?”
Ximen Chuixue shook his head: "I haven't fought before, so I won't comment."
Fu Hongxue suddenly said: "If her swordsmanship is really that strong, it has been so long since she and Zhuo Yihang, and even if she is not as good as those on the swordsmanship list, she should not be much weaker."
"It's a pity that a beautiful lady turned into a witch because of a man..." Lu Xiaofeng sighed.
Ye Kai's eyes lit up, and he suddenly pointed at a figure on the street and said, "Is this the white-haired witch you are talking about?"
Everyone was startled, and quickly looked down, only to see a white-haired woman walking on the street not far away. This woman had a peerless appearance, holding a long sword, and exuding an aura of being forbidden to strangers. The breath, especially her eyes, was terrifyingly cold and full of deathly silence.
At this time, the woman seemed to notice that someone was looking at her. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lu Xiaofeng and the others with cold and stern eyes.
"Hiss... Such cold eyes!"
Sikong Zhaixing shuddered.
Everyone looked away.
Ximen Chuixue said indifferently: "Yes, I have reached the second level of swordsmanship, but if I follow the killing swordsmanship, I am destined not to go far."
Ye Kai retorted: "I heard that the Xichang factory master also entered Taoism through fighting, but his swordsmanship is stronger than you and Ye Gucheng!"
Ximen Chuixue glanced at Ye Kai and said nothing.
Ye Kai smiled: "Am I right?"
Lu Xiaofeng quickly stopped the two of them, looked at the figure walking further and further down the street, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and said: "There have been too many people from all walks of life entering the city recently. I'm afraid something will happen during this ceremony."
Hua Manlou and others nodded slightly.
In just this short moment, they had already sensed several strong auras among the crowd.
"My dear friends, what a coincidence! Wherever there is excitement, you will be there..."
At this time, an old voice came from behind.
Everyone turned around and saw that the person coming was the old storyteller. Next to him, stood a little girl, looking at Ye Kai from time to time.
Lu Xiaofeng cupped her hands and said with a smile, "Senior, don't you always join in wherever there is excitement?"
This old storyteller turned out to be Old Man Tianji, and next to him was his granddaughter, Sun Xiaohong.
"I am different from you..."
Old Man Tianji shook his head and smiled, a little helpless.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want to join in the fun.
This time, it is far more dangerous than the last time!
Old Man Tianji glanced at the street in the distance. There, there was a man holding a sword, staring in the direction of Qingyun Tower. After he appeared, the man's eyes shifted to him again, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Everything that should come, and everything that shouldn't come, has come..." Old Man Tianji sighed in his heart.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't notice the look on Old Man Tianji's face. His eyes flickered slightly and he said, "Could it be that Senior was invited by Lord Yu and knew what was going to happen at the Crown Prince Ceremony, so he came to the capital specifically to sit in charge?"
Old Man Tianji withdrew his gaze, glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and others, and said with a smile: "Since you guys know that the capital is not peaceful this time, do you still dare to join in the fun?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said with a smile: "I, Lu Xiaofeng, am born to like to join in the fun, so naturally I want to take a look."
As he said that, he looked at Old Man Tianji and said: "Since senior knows that something will happen in the capital this time, the factory official should also know about it, but it is said that the factory official has gone to Shanhaiguan to resist the Qing army. Does senior know that? Who will be responsible for guarding the capital this time?"
Old Man Tianji smiled and said, "If you guys are interested, why don't you follow me into the palace to have a look?"
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up: "Senior, is there any way to enter the palace?"
Old man Tianji smiled and nodded: "I helped the factory owner last time, so the court should give him some mercy."
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly became happy and said, "Senior, please take us in."
Old Man Tianji nodded with a smile, then turned and walked downstairs.
Lu Xiaofeng quickly called on everyone to follow him.
…
…
royal palace.
At this time, the palace was also very lively.
There were palace maids and imperial guards everywhere.
Especially in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there is a Forbidden Army stationed every few meters, and there are no less than a thousand people at a glance.
There was also a famous Jin Yiwei holding an embroidered spring knife patrolling around.
Today's canonization ceremony was held in this square, so the guards were very tight.
In the center of the square, an altar has been built in advance for the ceremony of worshiping the heaven.
When Ming Dynasty appoints an heir, he needs to pray to heaven and earth, praying to God to bless the prince to grow up safely and successfully inherit the throne in the future.
Dong dong dong~
The dull sound of drums sounded from in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the sound was like thunder, resounding throughout the capital.
For a time, countless people's eyes were cast in the direction of the palace.
Even if they couldn't see it through the high palace walls, the people knew that the canonization ceremony had begun when they heard the grand drum beat.
In the palace square, another group of royal guards and imperial guards appeared, guarding a dragon chariot coming from a distance and heading towards the altar.
Behind the dragon chariot were hundreds of civil and military officials and clan elders who came to attend the ceremony.
Crash--
The dragon chariot stopped in front of the altar, and Zhu Youxiao, who was wearing a dragon robe and was weak, stepped down from the dragon chariot.
Next to him, Su Huirong was wearing a phoenix robe. Although her appearance was not unparalleled, she was still a rare beauty. Coupled with the gorgeous makeup at this time, she looked even more graceful and noble.
Su Huirong held Prince Zhu Ciyu in her arms and looked at this solemn and majestic scene. Not only was the little guy not afraid, but his big eyes were looking around, full of curiosity.
Looking at the cute appearance of the little guy, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile, took Su Huirong's hand and walked to the altar.
Woohoo~
The melodious and passionate horn sound suddenly sounded, and the atmosphere became more serious.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Zhu Youxiao led Su Huirong to the highest point of the altar, scanning all directions with majestic eyes.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Hundreds of civil and military officials, thousands of Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards all knelt down and saluted, the sound resounding in the sky.
"Flat body!"
Zhu Youxiao spoke calmly, then looked at the official next to him who was responsible for presiding over the canonization ceremony, and said, "Let's begin!"
"According to the order!"
The official in charge of the sacrifice immediately saluted and then began to read the inscription on the sacrifice to heaven.
In the distance, a corner on the left side of the square.
Old Man Tianji brought Lu Xiaofeng and others into the palace to watch the canonization ceremony.
There was also an official from the West Factory standing next to him, carefully looking around and giving Old Man Tianji and the others a break.
If it weren't for Old Man Tianji's extraordinary status, he would never dare to take the risk of beheading and quietly bring them into the palace.
At this time, looking at the grand canonization scene, Lu Xiaofeng and others were a little excited.
This was the first time they had seen such a grand canonization ceremony.
Only Ximen Chuixue was not too interested, and his eyes were fixed on the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the distance.
Three months ago, it was there that he had a decisive battle with Ye Gucheng.
On a full moon night, on the top of the Forbidden City, a sword comes from the west, and a fairy flies from the sky!
It's a pity that the decisive battle was not successful. Instead, it gave King Fu and others the opportunity to rebel, and Ye Gucheng did not come with the purpose of fighting him.
This was a great regret in his heart.
If given the chance, he will definitely fight Ye Gucheng again to complete this unfinished duel!
"Um?"
At this moment, Ximen Chuixue's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
It's Ye Gucheng!
But when he blinked again, the person suddenly disappeared again!
"Did I see it wrong?" Ximen Chuixue frowned and murmured in a low voice.
The voice was very low, but it was heard by the old man Tianji next to him.
Old Man Tianji said in a deep voice: "No, you read that right!"
Ximen Chuixue looked at him: "Did you see it too?"
Old Man Tianji did not answer. He looked towards the distant sky with a solemn gaze and said, "Trouble is coming..."
…
"Daming calendar year 259, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Gengchen.
The emperor was sent to heaven to carry his fortune, and the edict said:
Establishing heirs, respecting the foundation of the country, so inheriting and guarding the utensils, so inheriting the cultural heritage, admiring the previous training...
My son, Zhu Ciyu, is a man of outstanding character, courage and courage... I have appointed you as the crown prince, the heir apparent of the empire, and moved into the East Palace...
Admire this! "
On the altar, the official responsible for the canonization ceremony read the imperial edict loudly.
After saying the words "I admire this", an official came forward with a tray on which was placed a crown prince's crown, which was extremely noble.
Zhu Youxiao smiled, picked up Mianqi and prepared to put it on Zhu Ziyu.
But at this moment, outside the palace gate in the distance, a cry of death suddenly sounded:
"No, there's an assassin trying to break into the palace!"
"Protect the Emperor! Kill!"
…
Everyone's expression changed.
But before they could react, outside the palace wall in the distance, several figures flew past the halls of tall buildings, with speeds like thunder and lightning, and with a shocking momentum.
Zhu Youxiao suddenly turned around and looked with cold eyes.
All civil and military officials were shocked and turned pale with shock.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"Hahaha... establishing a crown prince? Mingshi's strength has been exhausted. What's the use of establishing a crown prince now?"
I'm out of ideas. I'm missing 4,000 words today. I think I owe one update alone.
I haven't had much ideas in the past two days. I suddenly can't find what makes me happy. I feel like nothing feels right no matter how I write. Can you tell me what kind of plot do you mainly like when reading this type of book?
Is it because of the feelings of these characters from martial arts dramas? Or is it because of the ups and downs of the story? Or do you just like to watch the protagonist plot and show off?
(End of chapter)
