Hengnan is windy
Chapter 1 When I arrived at the barracks, I saw the soldiers who stayed behind rushing around in a h
Well, I'm afraid it's..." General Situ sighed.
General Situ and the current Holy Majesty also knew each other when they were young, and their friendship is very deep.In this situation, General Situ must be extremely sad.
"However..." General Situ's expression changed slightly, "The Holy Majesty seems to be a little not sober."
"Father, what does this mean?" Situ Hengnan was very puzzled.
"The Holy Majesty has been lingering on the sick bed for some time. At first it was just a rumor in the palace. It is said that the Holy Majesty is suddenly moody and slurred." A trace of melancholy disappeared from General Situ's brows, "I didn't believe it at first. But today the Holy Majesty will take it back." All the military power under my hand."
Hearing this, Situ Hengnan couldn't help shivering deep in his heart.
"Father, what do you mean, not only the right to deploy troops from the imperial court's Eighth Army obtained from the battle against the Northern Land Alliance, but also the three-way elite soldiers that originally belonged to the general of the town?"
"Exactly." General Situ nodded solemnly, "The three elite soldiers who are directly under our General Zhen Guo will also be transferred to the northern border for defense."
It is natural for Situ Hengnan to understand the withdrawal of the right to dispatch troops from the Eighth Army, the core of the imperial court, but the three elite soldiers under General Zhen Guo were also withdrawn together, which proved that the Holy Majesty already had suspicions about General Zhen Guo.
"This decree has been made, father must obey." General Situ's expression remained solemn, "There is one thing that father wants to give to you."
General Situ activated the white porcelain bottle mechanism in the study again, but this time it turned clockwise.
There was a sound like rubbing stones in the study, but from the outside, all the furnishings in the study have not changed.
General Situ pulled up a painting and calligraphy on the west side of the study, and a dark passageway revealed in front of Situ Hengnan.
This secret passage seems to be quite old, and when the wind blows, dust will fly under the light, and at the same time, there will be an unidentifiable smell coming over.
General Situ waved his hand lightly before stepping into the narrow underground passage.
2 The secret passage that can only be accessed by one person leads to a dark room.
With the faint light, Situ Hengnan could only see a wooden table, and a wooden box above the wooden table.
General Situ carefully picked up the wooden box, and then stretched out his hand to open it.
Situ Hengnan took a closer look, only to see that there was only one tiny object inside the wooden box, which was firmly placed in the groove with the same shape.
For a while he couldn't see what it was, he could only make out it was a black thing.
General Situ brought the wooden box closer, Situ Hengnan took it, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "This is... a tiger charm?"
General Situ nodded.
But doubts arose in Situ Hengnan's heart, and he said, "This seems to be only part of it?"
The "tiger talisman" in the wooden box is just a tiger head, which is different from the usual flat tiger talisman, and more three-dimensional.
"Heng'er, pick it up and have a look." General Situ said.
Situ Hengnan then picked up the "tiger head" in the groove, only to see that there were several deliberately carved lines on the bottom of the "tiger head".
"This is indeed only a part, to be precise, it is a quarter." General Situ continued, "You have also seen the pattern. This complete piece of tiger talisman was secretly made by court craftsmen. According to your grandfather, it should be There are three pieces. Since your grandfather's generation, we Situ have held this black piece."
"There are two more pieces, one of which is the body of the tiger that fits with ours, which should be in the hands of Master Sheng." General Situ continued to explain, "There is another piece, father doesn't know where it is."
"Why is there such a special tiger talisman?" Situ Hengnan was puzzled.
"Emperors have been suspicious since ancient times." General Situ said in a low voice, "Father thinks, this is the late emperor's foreknowledge."
"But where is this tiger talisman mobilizing troops from?"
Situ Hengnan put back the "tiger head" and asked.
"According to your grandfather's description, it should be from the northwest." General Situ frowned slightly, "But the specific force is unknown. Naturally, this force does not belong to the orthodox Eighth Army of the imperial court, but there must be some It's very important. If you can't find the rest, just hide this part of the house well. Dad must be a thorn in the side of some people with evil intentions now, Heng'er, this thing must be kept safe."
"Father." Situ Hengnan called out firmly, "Heng'er will definitely not let this thing fall into the hands of treacherous men."
"En." General Situ patted Situ Hengnan on the shoulder, "Let's go, go and accompany your mother. Don't tell your mother these things."
The general's wife was currently resting in the bedroom with her eyes closed, and she opened her eyes only when she heard a clear footstep.
"Heng'er." The general's wife smiled softly, "Has the military affairs been handled properly?"
After several days of recuperation, although the general's wife is still a little weak, her complexion is no longer pale, and her spirit has improved a lot.
"It's done." In recent days, the post-war arrangement of the army, and the re-counting and reporting are indeed done.
It's just that I didn't expect that the three-way elite soldiers that my father had trained for many years would also be taken back.
"Heng'er, did something bad happen to your father?" The general's wife turned her side slightly, looking at Situ Hengnan.
Situ Hengnan immediately shook his head and said, "Mother, don't worry too much, everything is fine."
"You are the same as your father, you are happy." The general's wife still smiled softly and peacefully, "Your father thought he didn't show his worries, but when he came back today, his eyes said everything. Heng Son, you too."
"Mother..." Situ Hengnan couldn't answer for a while, but he still laughed, "Mother knows me and Daddy best."
"Since you have something you don't want to tell me, it must be for my own good." The general's wife didn't care much, "But mother will know sooner or later."
"Is Zixin okay?" The general's wife suddenly asked Huo Feng.
Situ Hengnan hesitated, but finally replied: "As usual, very good."
"That's good." The general's wife nodded slightly, "Actually, a few years ago, my mother went to the southwest once."
"Mother has been to the Southwest?" Situ Hengnan was puzzled, and then remembered that when she was seriously injured and lying on the couch, Mother had traveled for a while.
"Mother went to find Zixin." The general's wife said, "Mother had a good talk with him, and finally advised him not to come back if he has nothing to do."
When Situ Hengnan heard this, his starry eyes trembled slightly.
"Although your father is very angry, he only spoke harshly, and he won't really do anything to Zixin."
The general's wife finished what she wanted to say a long time ago with a sigh of relief.
"But Zixin also gave me something at that time." The general's wife suddenly remembered this matter, "A piece of bamboo, but there are some small holes in it. Zixin asked me to give it to your father, and I will hand it over when I come back."
"...Is it related to Uncle Huo?" Situ Hengnan asked.
"Mother thinks, probably yes." The general's wife replied.
Situ Hengnan didn't say anything, and the general's wife continued: "You must be blaming your mother."
"Heng'er can't." Situ Hengnan replied very firmly.
"Heng'er, mother still said the same thing, I hope you are safe, healthy and happy." The general's wife stroked Situ Hengnan's wrist and said softly.
When the word "safety" was mentioned, Situ Hengnan remembered the very vague peace talisman in his memory, so he asked the general's wife.
The general's wife was puzzled for a while, before she remembered: "There is indeed a peace talisman, which was actually sewn into a robe you wore when you were young. But thinking about it now, it doesn't really make any sense. At that time, some people in the imperial city had Mother just went to ask for a talisman."
"Does mother believe the 'Mie Xing' statement?" Situ Hengnan asked.
"Mother doesn't believe it." The general's wife's expression turned solemn, "Mother is only worried that some people deliberately spread rumors."
☆, dark move
1 Situ Hengnan accepted his father's entrustment, and after listening to his mother's words, he was both worried and happy.
Probably this state of mind is the same as this day, the heavy rain suddenly alternates with the clear sky, and it is not sure what the next moment will be like.
But when it comes to the weather, the recent torrential rain is indeed a bit severe, and it seems to be more abundant than in previous years.A few days ago, a huge thunder struck a side hall in the palace, causing the side hall to flood, and it was only after tossing a thousand people in the palace in the middle of the night that it was able to extinguish it.
Now Situ Hengnan is not so afraid of thunder, but it is a good "excuse" to sleep on the same couch with Huo Feng.
Occasionally, I feel a little sad when I think about the withdrawal of all the troops, but just as General Situ later comforted me, it is not necessarily because the Holy Majesty is suspicious, but to seek leisure.
The crown prince has already been designated as Chen Yu, so naturally he shouldn't think about it.
He inadvertently frowned slightly, but was caught by Huo Feng.
In fact, Huo Feng had also noticed Situ Hengnan's sad expression from time to time, but he didn't ask any questions.
"Situ, what's the matter at the house?" Huo Feng asked at this moment.
Situ Hengnan rested his chin, and when he heard Huo Feng's question, he immediately lost his sorrow and said, "It's all right. It's just that he came out immediately after returning home, and was said a few words."
He was telling half truths.General Situ and the general's wife had stopped interfering with his comings and goings now, but it was true that General Situ said a few words this time.
Huo Feng laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Forget it, there are some things you don't want to say at this time, so just don't say it."
These words sounded familiar, and Situ Hengnan remembered that he had said the same thing to Huo Feng not long ago.
Situ Hengnan took Huo Feng's hand and said, "Is there something wrong written on my face?"
"Of course not." Huo Feng smiled and straightened Situ Hengnan's sleeve.
"My mother said, I'm very happy, Zixin, you think so too?" Situ Hengnan blinked his eyes and looked at Huo Feng with a smile.
Huo Feng seemed to think about it seriously before replying: "Madam is right."
"But not everyone can see it." Situ Hengnan smiled again, "I always feel like I can't tell whether you are angry or not."
"I... don't get angry very often." Huo Feng responded.
In Situ Hengnan's impression, Huo Feng was indeed not very angry.
"That's right, you are always so good-tempered." Situ Hengnan said this, but he thought of some past events, and his smile became wider.
At night, there was still faint thunder, Situ Hengnan naturally hugged Huo Feng tightly.
The clean and fresh smell belonging to Huo Feng lingers in the nose, which is very comfortable.
2 At this moment, the East Palace.
"Finished?" Chen Yu's voice was sullen, but his face was calm, and it was Ruoxuan who asked.
Ruoxuan answered "Yes".
A group of doctors kneeling in front of the hall, the doctor is upright, and most of the medical workers are trembling.
It was clear that the weather was a little dry, and everyone's foreheads were sweating, and goose bumps appeared on their bodies, and palms of cold sweat were clenched in their palms.
The leading old imperial physician kowtowed three times, and said, "Returning to His Highness the Crown Prince, it's because of the incompetence of the disciples, who made your Majesty's decoction go wrong. This matter is the responsibility of the minister alone. I hope the Crown Prince will not anger the entire Imperial Medical Office."
"This time, I was wrong."
Chen Yu's voice also calmed down.
"Leave it to Dali Temple." Chen Yu waved his hand, and the old doctor in the lead was escorted down by the guards.
Chen Yu frowned fiercely, and wrote a few words of "Jing" on the paper, and his complexion eased.
A few days ago, he confirmed that his father's spirit had indeed become disordered, so he ordered someone to check the decoction, and found that it was the proud disciple of the most senior and prestigious Tai Physician Gu, and it was also the newly promoted Physician Xing who had made a mistake in making it.However, even if the error was found out in time, Father's current body would not be able to last for a long time.Thinking of this, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.
When he really calmed down and had a plan in mind, he hurriedly wrote a few lines on the paper, sealed it, and said to Ruoxuan: "Tomorrow, this letterhead will be handed over to Situ Hengnan. In these two days, pay attention to the actions of the people in the Imperial Medical Office."
There was some rain dripping again outside the window, and there was a flash of thunder, and there were several terrifying thunderbolts.
3 When he woke up the next day, Situ Hengnan was sleeping fairly well, while Huo Feng was lying sideways with one hand on his chest.
Huo Feng's ink spread out, and a wisp of ink was buried under his head.
The morning light diffused and fell on the face of the man in his arms, very beautiful.
Stretching out his hand to brush the hair in front of Huo Feng, Situ Hengnan couldn't help caressing Huo Feng's face again.
Huo Feng's breathing became a little heavier, and then he opened his eyes, but he seemed a little tired, so he closed them slightly again, and finally opened his eyes.
Situ Hengnan always felt that Huo Feng's appearance just after waking up was a bit cute. At first, his eyes were a little scattered, but they immediately focused together.
He was the only one in Huo Feng's pupils.
Thinking of this, he laughed heartily.
Seeing that he suddenly laughed, Huo Feng thought it was a little funny, so he said, "What are you laughing at?"
"Ha, I'm laughing at myself."
After Situ Hengnan finished speaking, he stood up and said, "It would be nice if I could be so leisurely every day."
"What do you mean by leisure?" Huo Feng also stood up, thinking of the things he had entrusted recently, he didn't feel very leisurely, so he asked casually.
"Of course you know." Situ Hengnan suddenly leaned over, smiling a little sternly.
Huo Feng turned his head slightly, looked at his smile, coughed lightly twice, and then handed the robe to Situ Hengnan.
At this time, someone knocked on several doors.
"At this time, who will come here?" Situ Hengnan raised his eyebrows, but for a while, he couldn't imagine who would come to this courtyard in the early morning.
"Should it be someone from your house?" Huo Feng stepped to the door, peeped through the small hole, and found that it was Ruoxuan.
"It's Ruoxuan." Huo Feng opened the door.
As soon as Ruoxuan who was standing outside the door came in, she knelt down to Situ Hengnan and said, "Your Highness has something to ask."
Situ Hengnan asked Ruoxuan to get up quickly, and at the same time took Chen Yu's letterhead.
In just a few lines, what he told him was that there was no need to look up things about Spring Hunting, and that he should be careful in everything.
"What does this mean? Has His Royal Highness found the truth?"
Situ Hengnan frowned slightly. If he had found out the truth, he should have told him long ago.
"Ruoxuan doesn't know either." Ruoxuan replied.
"Recently, the Holy Majesty is not in good health, and His Highness is busy with government affairs. Yesterday, it was verified that someone in the Imperial Medical Office made a mistake in making medicine, which caused the Holy Majesty to be a little mentally disturbed at times." Ruoxuan continued, "Your Highness should have his own medicine. If you don't want to think about it, Mr. Situ can stop investigating this matter for the time being."
Situ Hengnan hesitated for a while before answering.
After Ruoxuan left, Situ Hengnan was still confused.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he had doubts, Huo Feng asked.
"For so long, this is the first time I heard Ruoxuan say so many words." Situ Hengnan turned around and laughed.
Huo Feng smiled slightly, but turned his brows slightly together and said: "It should be as Ruoxuan said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own ideas, and we will do nothing for the time being, that is, we will not interfere."
"You're right." Situ Hengnan nodded, "I haven't found anything useful so far. I'm really sorry for him."
"There is always a moment when the truth comes out." Huo Feng comforted.
Situ Hengnan responded, and then said: "Zixin, I'll go back to the residence first."
"Yeah." Huo Feng responded.
When Situ Heng returned to the mansion south, he went under his bed and took out the wooden box.
After stroking it lightly a few times, Situ Hengnan opened it again.
The "tiger head" rests quietly in the groove, and there is a strange light flowing under the light.
He took out the letterhead that Chen Yu had given him again, and turned it over, only to see something that he hadn't noticed at first.
☆, reverse
1 The torrential rain stopped for a while in the past few days, and it returned again one day.In the palace, a group of maids, father-in-laws, and night guards were busy going to another palace to get water to put out the fire in the middle of the night. After finally extinguishing the fire, they had a rest, but the news of the emperor's death came the next day.
The bells of the national mourning spread throughout the inner city, but most of the people didn't feel much emotion, they just thought that the world would be passed down from generation to generation, but ordinary life had to go on as usual.
After ascending the throne, Chen Yu soon led people to surround the scholar's mansion.
The Bachelor of Arts just came out of the lecture hall at this time, smoothed his sleeves, and then sprinkled some water on the flowers and plants in the atrium.
A burst of hurried footsteps came, and then quickly and neatly scattered to both sides.
The one in the middle stepping up, with a gloomy complexion, is Chen Yu.
"See Your Majesty." The Bachelor of Arts knelt down.
"Bachelor of Arts, very elegant." Chen Yu's voice was very calm, "Ping Shen."
The Bachelor of Arts stood up leisurely and said, "Your Majesty is here in person at the academy, but what is the important matter?"
"There are a few things that I need to ask the bachelor carefully." Chen Yu's voice was calm.
"The matter that His Majesty came to ask in person must be very important, and the minister will definitely answer it well." Wen Wen replied, as if he didn't care about the two groups of people.
Chen Yu sat directly on the stone bench in the atrium and said, "Both Imperial Physician Gu and Imperial Physician Xing have been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Isn't the Bachelor of Arts very satisfied?"
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what your majesty said." Wen Wen kept a peaceful smile.
"The Bachelor of Arts seems dissatisfied, because the silence is not complete." Chen Yu rested his fingers on the stone table and tapped lightly.
Wen Wen's face was slightly cold, but he quickly calmed down, as if a piece of ice had not frozen and quickly melted back to water, "It seems that the little medical worker was caught and said a lot of important things. "
"The Bachelor of Arts is right." Chen Yu withdrew his hand, "It's just that I don't quite understand whether the Bachelor of Arts is dissatisfied with his father, dissatisfied with his current status, or dissatisfied with me."
"Your Majesty is thinking too much." Literature still smiled calmly, "I have no dissatisfaction."
"That's who do you want to support?" Chen Yu frowned, "The Bachelor of Arts is so frank, it seems that everything is ready."
"To tell you the truth, the chess game has already been played, and the time for His Majesty's arrival is just right."
Literature is still smiling, but it's like a kind of cold smile with a superficial smile.
He stopped smiling slightly, but not far away, there were several Dada's hoofbeats, which seemed to surround the entire scholar's mansion.
When the sound of horseshoes stopped, a person slowly stepped into the atrium of the academy and approached Chen Yu.
"Brother Huang?" Chen Yu heard the movement and turned around, seeing the person coming.
The man described his temperament as a bit weak, and the guards behind him were the original sixth prince, and now the sixth prince Jing Ze, when he heard the "brother emperor", he only chuckled lightly.
"Your Majesty." Jing Ze called out playfully.
Chen Yu's face became even more serious, without saying a word.
"I also have some matters, I want to talk to His Majesty."
Jing Ze's face turned colder, but he still smiled.
He took two steps towards Chenyu, Ruoxuan quickly blocked Chenyu.
Jing Ze suddenly stepped down and sneered at the same time.
"Your Majesty, these soldiers and horses are all listening to me at the moment, so please come and talk with me in the Golden Luan Hall, without losing your majesty's identity."
The word "Your Majesty" was bitten very hard.
After finishing speaking, Jing Ze took out a gold soldier casting talisman from his sleeve.
"Brother Huang, I didn't expect it, actually I didn't expect it either." Jing Ze's smile faded, "Duke Fu has always supported me."
Chen Yu also laughed at this time, and patted Ruoxuan to signal him to retreat for now, and said, "Let's go to the Jinluan Palace."
2 Situ Hengnan took the wooden box with him when he left the mansion.
At this moment, he felt that the wooden box was a bit heavy.
Driving Kaifeng, he soon arrived at the courtyard where Huo Feng was.
During the time before, it was hard to see each other again, and I wanted to see Huo Feng every day.
The time in this small courtyard is always fast and simple, there is nothing special other than playing chess and drinking tea.
He didn't want Huo Feng to get involved.
But isn't it him who doesn't want Huo Feng to leave his side?
Situ Hengnan's heart shuddered, he took out the key and opened the door, and entered the courtyard.
"Zixin." Situ Hengnan's voice was a bit difficult, "I have something to ask."
"En." Huo Feng also fixed his gaze on him, and responded.
Situ Hengnan gripped the wooden box tightly.
Not long ago, most of the three-way elite soldiers originally belonging to General Situ were led to various borders.Chen Yu has just ascended the throne, even with the empress dowager and a group of veterans, the foundation is not yet solid, and it is impossible to completely withdraw these elite soldiers for a while.
After returning to the central government, the Sixth Route Army of the imperial court was also divided into military powers of different magnitudes, which were distributed to many military officers.
"Situ, I know everything." Huo Fengdao, "Someone deliberately weakened the power of General Zhen Guo, and deliberately raised the strength of the original Ministry of War, Duke Ding, and Duke Fu. Now that Chen Yu has become the current emperor, so it is more clear. He should have figured out a way to let this person show himself."
"I think so too. The letter he sent last time also left me with a secret passage from the outside of a palace city to the inner hall of the palace."
Situ Hengnan continued to talk, and then told about the "tiger head" in the wooden box.
Huo Feng finished the wooden box and opened it to have a look.
"I really didn't expect that this tiger talisman really existed." Huo Feng closed the wooden box and put it aside, "There have been rumors about it in the northwest."
"What rumor?" Situ Hengnan asked.
"About the agreement between the first emperor and the Lord Fan who commanded the three tribes in the Northwest." Huo Feng slightly frowned. A special Tiger Talisman can dispatch the army of the Northwest Tribe once, and the quantity is not small."
"So, the other side also wants to use this Tiger Talisman to call the Northwest Army?" Situ Hengnan thought for a while, "It stands to reason that if the other side has something wrong in their minds, they should have prepared it long ago."
"Their troops are probably sufficient, but thinking about it..." Huo Feng said, "They are also worried that the troops from the northwest will disrupt the original plan."
"Yes, that's why I want you to take this part of the Tiger Talisman out of the city." Situ Hengnan clenched his fist slightly, "I'll ask Captain Zhou to take you out."
"Don't worry." Huo Feng stroked the surface of the wooden box again, closed his eyes, and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.
So he hugged Situ Hengnan and said, "Situ, you have to be careful."
"Yeah." Situ Hengnan also hugged him tightly, "I promise you, when the matter is over, we will never be separated again."
Captain 3 Zhou waited for a while at an intersection, and soon saw Huo Feng riding on Morrowind.
"Mr. Huo." Colonel Zhou made a clasped fist salute, "I will escort you to the outer city."
"Well, please trouble Captain Zhou." Huo Feng responded.
The two of them galloped to the gate of the outer city. Several military officers saw Lieutenant Zhou, so Lieutenant Zhou stopped his horse and said, "I have a military rank, so I can't go out of the city gate. I hope Mr. Huo's journey is safe."
"Lieutenant Zhou is also careful all the way." Huo Feng led the horse and left the city.
Huo Feng stayed not far from the gate of the outer city, when news came from the inner city that General Situ's mansion was besieged by several troops and the whole mansion was searched.
Hearing the news, he went further.
Not far away, many carts and horses carrying goods came back staggeringly. They stopped when they came to a tea shed, and a group of people waited for a rest.
"Where is this little brother going?" An old gentleman who was drinking tea at the side started talking when he saw Huo Feng was alone.
"Going home to visit relatives." Huo Feng said.
"Little brother, there are troops coming from who don't know where outside, and they are starting to come here. It's not peaceful. I guess the roads nearby are not smooth. You should go back to the city in the next two days." The old man reminded him kindly. .
"Thank you sir for reminding me." Huo Feng looked at the low twilight in the sky and had an idea in his mind.
But at this moment in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, all the guards seemed to be drunk, with indecent postures, and passed out in every corner.
Seeing this scene, Fu Min was not surprised, but continued to walk towards the prison alone with the key, until he reached an empty prison.
So he knelt down respectfully and said, "Master, I am late."
There was a sound of shackles not far away, and the speaker's tone was somewhat complaining: "It's a bit late."
"But it doesn't matter anymore."
The person called "Master" chuckled lightly, and the shackles in his hands fell to the ground, tearing off a layer of film on his face.
☆, suppression
1 Ruoxuan is the only one who protects Chen Yu after entering the Golden Luan Hall.
"Emperor brother!" Jing Ze called out high, the smile on his mouth did not weaken in the slightest, "Well, talking is too boring, let your guard compete with mine. And the two of us, let's compare How about the sword?"
Chen Yu's expression was calm, and there was a smile on his face, but he said in an extremely relaxed tone: "Brother Huang, if this is the case, you will regret it."
Jing Ze laughed out loud, completely different from his usual taciturn appearance, and said, "Brother Huang? Isn't that the only Brother Huang in your eyes?"
These words touched the pain in Chen Yu's heart.He didn't reply for a while.
"When I was young, I competed with swords, but I never beat you." Jingze rubbed his sword, his voice was cold, but there was a moment of sadness in his eyes, "It's not just about swords, poetry and books, and archery. All win."
"Today, let's be upright, younger brother." Jing Ze threw an identical sword to Chen Yu.The sword's shell was glowing with purple light, and it collided with the carpet in the hall, making a dull sound.
"Your Highness!" Ruoxuan's sword had already been unsheathed, and she was about to protect Chen Yu's front, but was blocked by the opponent's guard with a sword.
Jing Ze picked up the long sword, and when the streamer on it turned, a star light spot converged on the tip of the sword, and when the light spot moved, a fatal sword was swung over.
After Chen Yu dodged, he took a few steps back.
"Brother Huang, are you and I determined to do this?" Chen Yu didn't pull out the sword from its sheath, but just stabilized his figure with the blade of the sword.
Although Jing Ze's eyes were indifferent, there was clearly visible anger between his brows.He dragged his sword and walked over slowly.The sharp point of the sword scratched the carpet of the Golden Luan Hall.
Ruoxuan and Jingze's guards are fighting quickly, but no one has the upper hand.
"Is the power of the world that important to you?" Chen Yu held the sword and watched Jingze approaching step by step.
Jing Ze snorted coldly, and said, "You and I were born in the emperor's family, how can you say something about whether the world is important or not? Emperor brother, you are too naive."
"Brother Six was only born four days earlier than me, but he always speaks out loud." Chen Yu hooked his lips, stroked the long sword lightly, and slowly moved the sword shell away.
When Jing Ze heard the age-old title of "Sixth Brother", his face couldn't help but change.
But that touch was only for a moment of Baoliang, and the next second, Jingze drew his sword again.
"Seventh brother, don't let your mind wander!" Jing Ze's sword faced Chen Yu's sword, and the strength of both sides was similar, so they were indistinguishable for a long time.
2 Situ Hengnan found a secret passage in the palace with the hints given by Chen Yu and a little vague memory, but it took a lot of trouble before he actually found the exit.
Fortunately, he discovered the fatal flaw of the storm-troubler: the military strength at the core of the imperial city is very insufficient.
It seems that the inner city is guarded, and the outer city is also equipped with military defenses, but in fact it is just an illusion of sufficient troops.
But after thinking about it, if the enemy's troops are really safe, why are they so obsessed with that special tiger talisman and longing for that army?
The secret passage leads directly to a wardrobe in a side hall at the side of the Golden Luan Hall.
Situ Hengnan carefully let out a sigh of relief before leaving the closet.
This should be the place where a concubine once lived, but there was no one there at this time, and it was a bit empty.
Situ Hengnan peeped out from a small hole, and he could only see two layers of military handles around the Golden Luan Hall.
Putting his hand on the scabbard, he took another deep breath and rushed out of the side hall.
He approached the first guard at the fastest speed, and where the sword light fell, there were guards who collapsed all the way.
Soon, it was only the last round.
He clearly heard the sound of sword fighting inside the palace gate, and his heart tightened a bit.
In front of and behind him, the last encirclement soldiers stood together with the soldiers who had not sealed their throats before, forming a circle to encircle.
One of them said backwards: "Young General, stop."
"Since you call me a major general, you should know who I hate the most." Situ Hengnan raised his long sword, and the wisps of fresh blood on it converged on the tip of the sword, dripping miserably.
"Major General, I have never betrayed anyone, I just protect the Lord wholeheartedly."
As soon as the voice of the speaker fell, he raised his sword to Situ Hengnan first.
"Is protecting your lord a great excuse to connive at the regicide?!" Situ Hengnan was also angry, and after saying a word loudly, he made a move without reservation.
3 Huo Ling waited anxiously in front of the tent outside the city, and it wasn't long before Xi Run came out.
"How?" He leaned forward and asked.
Seeing him, Xi Run shook his head melancholy.
"Oh, what should I say? This is simply a stubborn old man!" Huo Ling kicked a stone beside him.
"We were the ones who lied to him with a forged tiger talisman, and now the fan owner's anger has finally dissipated, and he has promised me not to withdraw." Xi Run patted Huo Ling's shoulder, "That's already very good."
"But now we don't even know where the other two are. We're staying in this temporary garrison, are we waiting for the Tiger Talisman to come by itself?" The emergency soldiers and horses are short of food and grass, so they slipped away with this excuse. I told that old man that there was a rebellion, so why didn't I believe it!"
Although Xirun was also worried, he still said: "Master Fan only recognizes the tiger talisman, and does not recognize your one-sided words. Burning and looting."
After hearing this, Huo Ling thought it made sense, so he didn't continue to complain.
The two of them were silent for a while, each thinking of a solution.
After a long time, a commander came to report that someone was looking for the commander-in-chief of the army, saying that he had something important to present.
When Huo Ling and Xirun heard about it, they asked the man to come to them first.
The visitor stood in a plain robe, with black pupils that were clear and shiny, leading a horse with a red mane. It was Huo Feng.
"breeze?"
"Cousin?"
When Huo Ling and Huo Feng met each other, they were both full of surprise.
"It turned out to be Xiaofeng." Xi Run opened his mouth, and Huo Feng said solemnly, "Your Highness".
"Xiaofeng, I have already said that there is no high majesty, only Xirun, a plain minister who guards the northwest border." Xirun smiled gently.
"Xiaofeng, you said you have something important to present?"
When he walked into the military tent, Huo Ling asked, and Huo Feng immediately guessed that an important part of the Tiger Talisman was in Xirun's hands.
"Situ gave it to me." Huo Feng took out the wooden box from the bag.
Xi Run took the wooden box and opened it. Inside was a part of the tiger charm they had been waiting for for a long time, the black tiger head.
"It seems to be held by General Situ." Xi Run closed the wooden box, "Unfortunately, we still lack a part."
Xi Run peeped out from his arms, half of the vermilion tiger talisman was spread out in his hand, shining faintly.
"I originally thought that the part that Situ gave me would be the last part." Seeing this situation, Huo Feng couldn't help frowning, "Who will hold the other one?"
Huo Ling also scratched his head, thought for a while and said: "Here, the generals and the royal family are all here, and there must be a powerful minister."
"Not necessarily." Xi Run rubbed the vermilion tiger charm in his hand, "It's also possible, the rest are still in the palace."
"Oh, what the emperor's mind really is..." Huo Ling couldn't help but touch his forehead, "I don't know what's going on in the palace. By the way, Xiaofeng, when you left, the palace was already in chaos?"
"No, when I left two days ago, everything in the imperial city was very peaceful." Huo Feng replied, "But later there was some news that General Situ's mansion was searched."
Xi Run put away the Tiger Talisman, and said: "If there is a chaos in the palace, some people will leave the city in a hurry. If so, Master Fan will not believe that someone rebelled."
"Exactly." Huo Feng's frowning eyebrows never relaxed.
"Kid Hengnan gave you the part of the Tiger Talisman held by Situ Mansion, so..." Huo Ling's face also became worried, "Is he still in the inner city?"
"Yes." Huo Feng clenched his fists, "I guess the people following the general are all trapped
General Situ and the current Holy Majesty also knew each other when they were young, and their friendship is very deep.In this situation, General Situ must be extremely sad.
"However..." General Situ's expression changed slightly, "The Holy Majesty seems to be a little not sober."
"Father, what does this mean?" Situ Hengnan was very puzzled.
"The Holy Majesty has been lingering on the sick bed for some time. At first it was just a rumor in the palace. It is said that the Holy Majesty is suddenly moody and slurred." A trace of melancholy disappeared from General Situ's brows, "I didn't believe it at first. But today the Holy Majesty will take it back." All the military power under my hand."
Hearing this, Situ Hengnan couldn't help shivering deep in his heart.
"Father, what do you mean, not only the right to deploy troops from the imperial court's Eighth Army obtained from the battle against the Northern Land Alliance, but also the three-way elite soldiers that originally belonged to the general of the town?"
"Exactly." General Situ nodded solemnly, "The three elite soldiers who are directly under our General Zhen Guo will also be transferred to the northern border for defense."
It is natural for Situ Hengnan to understand the withdrawal of the right to dispatch troops from the Eighth Army, the core of the imperial court, but the three elite soldiers under General Zhen Guo were also withdrawn together, which proved that the Holy Majesty already had suspicions about General Zhen Guo.
"This decree has been made, father must obey." General Situ's expression remained solemn, "There is one thing that father wants to give to you."
General Situ activated the white porcelain bottle mechanism in the study again, but this time it turned clockwise.
There was a sound like rubbing stones in the study, but from the outside, all the furnishings in the study have not changed.
General Situ pulled up a painting and calligraphy on the west side of the study, and a dark passageway revealed in front of Situ Hengnan.
This secret passage seems to be quite old, and when the wind blows, dust will fly under the light, and at the same time, there will be an unidentifiable smell coming over.
General Situ waved his hand lightly before stepping into the narrow underground passage.
2 The secret passage that can only be accessed by one person leads to a dark room.
With the faint light, Situ Hengnan could only see a wooden table, and a wooden box above the wooden table.
General Situ carefully picked up the wooden box, and then stretched out his hand to open it.
Situ Hengnan took a closer look, only to see that there was only one tiny object inside the wooden box, which was firmly placed in the groove with the same shape.
For a while he couldn't see what it was, he could only make out it was a black thing.
General Situ brought the wooden box closer, Situ Hengnan took it, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "This is... a tiger charm?"
General Situ nodded.
But doubts arose in Situ Hengnan's heart, and he said, "This seems to be only part of it?"
The "tiger talisman" in the wooden box is just a tiger head, which is different from the usual flat tiger talisman, and more three-dimensional.
"Heng'er, pick it up and have a look." General Situ said.
Situ Hengnan then picked up the "tiger head" in the groove, only to see that there were several deliberately carved lines on the bottom of the "tiger head".
"This is indeed only a part, to be precise, it is a quarter." General Situ continued, "You have also seen the pattern. This complete piece of tiger talisman was secretly made by court craftsmen. According to your grandfather, it should be There are three pieces. Since your grandfather's generation, we Situ have held this black piece."
"There are two more pieces, one of which is the body of the tiger that fits with ours, which should be in the hands of Master Sheng." General Situ continued to explain, "There is another piece, father doesn't know where it is."
"Why is there such a special tiger talisman?" Situ Hengnan was puzzled.
"Emperors have been suspicious since ancient times." General Situ said in a low voice, "Father thinks, this is the late emperor's foreknowledge."
"But where is this tiger talisman mobilizing troops from?"
Situ Hengnan put back the "tiger head" and asked.
"According to your grandfather's description, it should be from the northwest." General Situ frowned slightly, "But the specific force is unknown. Naturally, this force does not belong to the orthodox Eighth Army of the imperial court, but there must be some It's very important. If you can't find the rest, just hide this part of the house well. Dad must be a thorn in the side of some people with evil intentions now, Heng'er, this thing must be kept safe."
"Father." Situ Hengnan called out firmly, "Heng'er will definitely not let this thing fall into the hands of treacherous men."
"En." General Situ patted Situ Hengnan on the shoulder, "Let's go, go and accompany your mother. Don't tell your mother these things."
The general's wife was currently resting in the bedroom with her eyes closed, and she opened her eyes only when she heard a clear footstep.
"Heng'er." The general's wife smiled softly, "Has the military affairs been handled properly?"
After several days of recuperation, although the general's wife is still a little weak, her complexion is no longer pale, and her spirit has improved a lot.
"It's done." In recent days, the post-war arrangement of the army, and the re-counting and reporting are indeed done.
It's just that I didn't expect that the three-way elite soldiers that my father had trained for many years would also be taken back.
"Heng'er, did something bad happen to your father?" The general's wife turned her side slightly, looking at Situ Hengnan.
Situ Hengnan immediately shook his head and said, "Mother, don't worry too much, everything is fine."
"You are the same as your father, you are happy." The general's wife still smiled softly and peacefully, "Your father thought he didn't show his worries, but when he came back today, his eyes said everything. Heng Son, you too."
"Mother..." Situ Hengnan couldn't answer for a while, but he still laughed, "Mother knows me and Daddy best."
"Since you have something you don't want to tell me, it must be for my own good." The general's wife didn't care much, "But mother will know sooner or later."
"Is Zixin okay?" The general's wife suddenly asked Huo Feng.
Situ Hengnan hesitated, but finally replied: "As usual, very good."
"That's good." The general's wife nodded slightly, "Actually, a few years ago, my mother went to the southwest once."
"Mother has been to the Southwest?" Situ Hengnan was puzzled, and then remembered that when she was seriously injured and lying on the couch, Mother had traveled for a while.
"Mother went to find Zixin." The general's wife said, "Mother had a good talk with him, and finally advised him not to come back if he has nothing to do."
When Situ Hengnan heard this, his starry eyes trembled slightly.
"Although your father is very angry, he only spoke harshly, and he won't really do anything to Zixin."
The general's wife finished what she wanted to say a long time ago with a sigh of relief.
"But Zixin also gave me something at that time." The general's wife suddenly remembered this matter, "A piece of bamboo, but there are some small holes in it. Zixin asked me to give it to your father, and I will hand it over when I come back."
"...Is it related to Uncle Huo?" Situ Hengnan asked.
"Mother thinks, probably yes." The general's wife replied.
Situ Hengnan didn't say anything, and the general's wife continued: "You must be blaming your mother."
"Heng'er can't." Situ Hengnan replied very firmly.
"Heng'er, mother still said the same thing, I hope you are safe, healthy and happy." The general's wife stroked Situ Hengnan's wrist and said softly.
When the word "safety" was mentioned, Situ Hengnan remembered the very vague peace talisman in his memory, so he asked the general's wife.
The general's wife was puzzled for a while, before she remembered: "There is indeed a peace talisman, which was actually sewn into a robe you wore when you were young. But thinking about it now, it doesn't really make any sense. At that time, some people in the imperial city had Mother just went to ask for a talisman."
"Does mother believe the 'Mie Xing' statement?" Situ Hengnan asked.
"Mother doesn't believe it." The general's wife's expression turned solemn, "Mother is only worried that some people deliberately spread rumors."
☆, dark move
1 Situ Hengnan accepted his father's entrustment, and after listening to his mother's words, he was both worried and happy.
Probably this state of mind is the same as this day, the heavy rain suddenly alternates with the clear sky, and it is not sure what the next moment will be like.
But when it comes to the weather, the recent torrential rain is indeed a bit severe, and it seems to be more abundant than in previous years.A few days ago, a huge thunder struck a side hall in the palace, causing the side hall to flood, and it was only after tossing a thousand people in the palace in the middle of the night that it was able to extinguish it.
Now Situ Hengnan is not so afraid of thunder, but it is a good "excuse" to sleep on the same couch with Huo Feng.
Occasionally, I feel a little sad when I think about the withdrawal of all the troops, but just as General Situ later comforted me, it is not necessarily because the Holy Majesty is suspicious, but to seek leisure.
The crown prince has already been designated as Chen Yu, so naturally he shouldn't think about it.
He inadvertently frowned slightly, but was caught by Huo Feng.
In fact, Huo Feng had also noticed Situ Hengnan's sad expression from time to time, but he didn't ask any questions.
"Situ, what's the matter at the house?" Huo Feng asked at this moment.
Situ Hengnan rested his chin, and when he heard Huo Feng's question, he immediately lost his sorrow and said, "It's all right. It's just that he came out immediately after returning home, and was said a few words."
He was telling half truths.General Situ and the general's wife had stopped interfering with his comings and goings now, but it was true that General Situ said a few words this time.
Huo Feng laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Forget it, there are some things you don't want to say at this time, so just don't say it."
These words sounded familiar, and Situ Hengnan remembered that he had said the same thing to Huo Feng not long ago.
Situ Hengnan took Huo Feng's hand and said, "Is there something wrong written on my face?"
"Of course not." Huo Feng smiled and straightened Situ Hengnan's sleeve.
"My mother said, I'm very happy, Zixin, you think so too?" Situ Hengnan blinked his eyes and looked at Huo Feng with a smile.
Huo Feng seemed to think about it seriously before replying: "Madam is right."
"But not everyone can see it." Situ Hengnan smiled again, "I always feel like I can't tell whether you are angry or not."
"I... don't get angry very often." Huo Feng responded.
In Situ Hengnan's impression, Huo Feng was indeed not very angry.
"That's right, you are always so good-tempered." Situ Hengnan said this, but he thought of some past events, and his smile became wider.
At night, there was still faint thunder, Situ Hengnan naturally hugged Huo Feng tightly.
The clean and fresh smell belonging to Huo Feng lingers in the nose, which is very comfortable.
2 At this moment, the East Palace.
"Finished?" Chen Yu's voice was sullen, but his face was calm, and it was Ruoxuan who asked.
Ruoxuan answered "Yes".
A group of doctors kneeling in front of the hall, the doctor is upright, and most of the medical workers are trembling.
It was clear that the weather was a little dry, and everyone's foreheads were sweating, and goose bumps appeared on their bodies, and palms of cold sweat were clenched in their palms.
The leading old imperial physician kowtowed three times, and said, "Returning to His Highness the Crown Prince, it's because of the incompetence of the disciples, who made your Majesty's decoction go wrong. This matter is the responsibility of the minister alone. I hope the Crown Prince will not anger the entire Imperial Medical Office."
"This time, I was wrong."
Chen Yu's voice also calmed down.
"Leave it to Dali Temple." Chen Yu waved his hand, and the old doctor in the lead was escorted down by the guards.
Chen Yu frowned fiercely, and wrote a few words of "Jing" on the paper, and his complexion eased.
A few days ago, he confirmed that his father's spirit had indeed become disordered, so he ordered someone to check the decoction, and found that it was the proud disciple of the most senior and prestigious Tai Physician Gu, and it was also the newly promoted Physician Xing who had made a mistake in making it.However, even if the error was found out in time, Father's current body would not be able to last for a long time.Thinking of this, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.
When he really calmed down and had a plan in mind, he hurriedly wrote a few lines on the paper, sealed it, and said to Ruoxuan: "Tomorrow, this letterhead will be handed over to Situ Hengnan. In these two days, pay attention to the actions of the people in the Imperial Medical Office."
There was some rain dripping again outside the window, and there was a flash of thunder, and there were several terrifying thunderbolts.
3 When he woke up the next day, Situ Hengnan was sleeping fairly well, while Huo Feng was lying sideways with one hand on his chest.
Huo Feng's ink spread out, and a wisp of ink was buried under his head.
The morning light diffused and fell on the face of the man in his arms, very beautiful.
Stretching out his hand to brush the hair in front of Huo Feng, Situ Hengnan couldn't help caressing Huo Feng's face again.
Huo Feng's breathing became a little heavier, and then he opened his eyes, but he seemed a little tired, so he closed them slightly again, and finally opened his eyes.
Situ Hengnan always felt that Huo Feng's appearance just after waking up was a bit cute. At first, his eyes were a little scattered, but they immediately focused together.
He was the only one in Huo Feng's pupils.
Thinking of this, he laughed heartily.
Seeing that he suddenly laughed, Huo Feng thought it was a little funny, so he said, "What are you laughing at?"
"Ha, I'm laughing at myself."
After Situ Hengnan finished speaking, he stood up and said, "It would be nice if I could be so leisurely every day."
"What do you mean by leisure?" Huo Feng also stood up, thinking of the things he had entrusted recently, he didn't feel very leisurely, so he asked casually.
"Of course you know." Situ Hengnan suddenly leaned over, smiling a little sternly.
Huo Feng turned his head slightly, looked at his smile, coughed lightly twice, and then handed the robe to Situ Hengnan.
At this time, someone knocked on several doors.
"At this time, who will come here?" Situ Hengnan raised his eyebrows, but for a while, he couldn't imagine who would come to this courtyard in the early morning.
"Should it be someone from your house?" Huo Feng stepped to the door, peeped through the small hole, and found that it was Ruoxuan.
"It's Ruoxuan." Huo Feng opened the door.
As soon as Ruoxuan who was standing outside the door came in, she knelt down to Situ Hengnan and said, "Your Highness has something to ask."
Situ Hengnan asked Ruoxuan to get up quickly, and at the same time took Chen Yu's letterhead.
In just a few lines, what he told him was that there was no need to look up things about Spring Hunting, and that he should be careful in everything.
"What does this mean? Has His Royal Highness found the truth?"
Situ Hengnan frowned slightly. If he had found out the truth, he should have told him long ago.
"Ruoxuan doesn't know either." Ruoxuan replied.
"Recently, the Holy Majesty is not in good health, and His Highness is busy with government affairs. Yesterday, it was verified that someone in the Imperial Medical Office made a mistake in making medicine, which caused the Holy Majesty to be a little mentally disturbed at times." Ruoxuan continued, "Your Highness should have his own medicine. If you don't want to think about it, Mr. Situ can stop investigating this matter for the time being."
Situ Hengnan hesitated for a while before answering.
After Ruoxuan left, Situ Hengnan was still confused.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he had doubts, Huo Feng asked.
"For so long, this is the first time I heard Ruoxuan say so many words." Situ Hengnan turned around and laughed.
Huo Feng smiled slightly, but turned his brows slightly together and said: "It should be as Ruoxuan said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own ideas, and we will do nothing for the time being, that is, we will not interfere."
"You're right." Situ Hengnan nodded, "I haven't found anything useful so far. I'm really sorry for him."
"There is always a moment when the truth comes out." Huo Feng comforted.
Situ Hengnan responded, and then said: "Zixin, I'll go back to the residence first."
"Yeah." Huo Feng responded.
When Situ Heng returned to the mansion south, he went under his bed and took out the wooden box.
After stroking it lightly a few times, Situ Hengnan opened it again.
The "tiger head" rests quietly in the groove, and there is a strange light flowing under the light.
He took out the letterhead that Chen Yu had given him again, and turned it over, only to see something that he hadn't noticed at first.
☆, reverse
1 The torrential rain stopped for a while in the past few days, and it returned again one day.In the palace, a group of maids, father-in-laws, and night guards were busy going to another palace to get water to put out the fire in the middle of the night. After finally extinguishing the fire, they had a rest, but the news of the emperor's death came the next day.
The bells of the national mourning spread throughout the inner city, but most of the people didn't feel much emotion, they just thought that the world would be passed down from generation to generation, but ordinary life had to go on as usual.
After ascending the throne, Chen Yu soon led people to surround the scholar's mansion.
The Bachelor of Arts just came out of the lecture hall at this time, smoothed his sleeves, and then sprinkled some water on the flowers and plants in the atrium.
A burst of hurried footsteps came, and then quickly and neatly scattered to both sides.
The one in the middle stepping up, with a gloomy complexion, is Chen Yu.
"See Your Majesty." The Bachelor of Arts knelt down.
"Bachelor of Arts, very elegant." Chen Yu's voice was very calm, "Ping Shen."
The Bachelor of Arts stood up leisurely and said, "Your Majesty is here in person at the academy, but what is the important matter?"
"There are a few things that I need to ask the bachelor carefully." Chen Yu's voice was calm.
"The matter that His Majesty came to ask in person must be very important, and the minister will definitely answer it well." Wen Wen replied, as if he didn't care about the two groups of people.
Chen Yu sat directly on the stone bench in the atrium and said, "Both Imperial Physician Gu and Imperial Physician Xing have been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Isn't the Bachelor of Arts very satisfied?"
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what your majesty said." Wen Wen kept a peaceful smile.
"The Bachelor of Arts seems dissatisfied, because the silence is not complete." Chen Yu rested his fingers on the stone table and tapped lightly.
Wen Wen's face was slightly cold, but he quickly calmed down, as if a piece of ice had not frozen and quickly melted back to water, "It seems that the little medical worker was caught and said a lot of important things. "
"The Bachelor of Arts is right." Chen Yu withdrew his hand, "It's just that I don't quite understand whether the Bachelor of Arts is dissatisfied with his father, dissatisfied with his current status, or dissatisfied with me."
"Your Majesty is thinking too much." Literature still smiled calmly, "I have no dissatisfaction."
"That's who do you want to support?" Chen Yu frowned, "The Bachelor of Arts is so frank, it seems that everything is ready."
"To tell you the truth, the chess game has already been played, and the time for His Majesty's arrival is just right."
Literature is still smiling, but it's like a kind of cold smile with a superficial smile.
He stopped smiling slightly, but not far away, there were several Dada's hoofbeats, which seemed to surround the entire scholar's mansion.
When the sound of horseshoes stopped, a person slowly stepped into the atrium of the academy and approached Chen Yu.
"Brother Huang?" Chen Yu heard the movement and turned around, seeing the person coming.
The man described his temperament as a bit weak, and the guards behind him were the original sixth prince, and now the sixth prince Jing Ze, when he heard the "brother emperor", he only chuckled lightly.
"Your Majesty." Jing Ze called out playfully.
Chen Yu's face became even more serious, without saying a word.
"I also have some matters, I want to talk to His Majesty."
Jing Ze's face turned colder, but he still smiled.
He took two steps towards Chenyu, Ruoxuan quickly blocked Chenyu.
Jing Ze suddenly stepped down and sneered at the same time.
"Your Majesty, these soldiers and horses are all listening to me at the moment, so please come and talk with me in the Golden Luan Hall, without losing your majesty's identity."
The word "Your Majesty" was bitten very hard.
After finishing speaking, Jing Ze took out a gold soldier casting talisman from his sleeve.
"Brother Huang, I didn't expect it, actually I didn't expect it either." Jing Ze's smile faded, "Duke Fu has always supported me."
Chen Yu also laughed at this time, and patted Ruoxuan to signal him to retreat for now, and said, "Let's go to the Jinluan Palace."
2 Situ Hengnan took the wooden box with him when he left the mansion.
At this moment, he felt that the wooden box was a bit heavy.
Driving Kaifeng, he soon arrived at the courtyard where Huo Feng was.
During the time before, it was hard to see each other again, and I wanted to see Huo Feng every day.
The time in this small courtyard is always fast and simple, there is nothing special other than playing chess and drinking tea.
He didn't want Huo Feng to get involved.
But isn't it him who doesn't want Huo Feng to leave his side?
Situ Hengnan's heart shuddered, he took out the key and opened the door, and entered the courtyard.
"Zixin." Situ Hengnan's voice was a bit difficult, "I have something to ask."
"En." Huo Feng also fixed his gaze on him, and responded.
Situ Hengnan gripped the wooden box tightly.
Not long ago, most of the three-way elite soldiers originally belonging to General Situ were led to various borders.Chen Yu has just ascended the throne, even with the empress dowager and a group of veterans, the foundation is not yet solid, and it is impossible to completely withdraw these elite soldiers for a while.
After returning to the central government, the Sixth Route Army of the imperial court was also divided into military powers of different magnitudes, which were distributed to many military officers.
"Situ, I know everything." Huo Fengdao, "Someone deliberately weakened the power of General Zhen Guo, and deliberately raised the strength of the original Ministry of War, Duke Ding, and Duke Fu. Now that Chen Yu has become the current emperor, so it is more clear. He should have figured out a way to let this person show himself."
"I think so too. The letter he sent last time also left me with a secret passage from the outside of a palace city to the inner hall of the palace."
Situ Hengnan continued to talk, and then told about the "tiger head" in the wooden box.
Huo Feng finished the wooden box and opened it to have a look.
"I really didn't expect that this tiger talisman really existed." Huo Feng closed the wooden box and put it aside, "There have been rumors about it in the northwest."
"What rumor?" Situ Hengnan asked.
"About the agreement between the first emperor and the Lord Fan who commanded the three tribes in the Northwest." Huo Feng slightly frowned. A special Tiger Talisman can dispatch the army of the Northwest Tribe once, and the quantity is not small."
"So, the other side also wants to use this Tiger Talisman to call the Northwest Army?" Situ Hengnan thought for a while, "It stands to reason that if the other side has something wrong in their minds, they should have prepared it long ago."
"Their troops are probably sufficient, but thinking about it..." Huo Feng said, "They are also worried that the troops from the northwest will disrupt the original plan."
"Yes, that's why I want you to take this part of the Tiger Talisman out of the city." Situ Hengnan clenched his fist slightly, "I'll ask Captain Zhou to take you out."
"Don't worry." Huo Feng stroked the surface of the wooden box again, closed his eyes, and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.
So he hugged Situ Hengnan and said, "Situ, you have to be careful."
"Yeah." Situ Hengnan also hugged him tightly, "I promise you, when the matter is over, we will never be separated again."
Captain 3 Zhou waited for a while at an intersection, and soon saw Huo Feng riding on Morrowind.
"Mr. Huo." Colonel Zhou made a clasped fist salute, "I will escort you to the outer city."
"Well, please trouble Captain Zhou." Huo Feng responded.
The two of them galloped to the gate of the outer city. Several military officers saw Lieutenant Zhou, so Lieutenant Zhou stopped his horse and said, "I have a military rank, so I can't go out of the city gate. I hope Mr. Huo's journey is safe."
"Lieutenant Zhou is also careful all the way." Huo Feng led the horse and left the city.
Huo Feng stayed not far from the gate of the outer city, when news came from the inner city that General Situ's mansion was besieged by several troops and the whole mansion was searched.
Hearing the news, he went further.
Not far away, many carts and horses carrying goods came back staggeringly. They stopped when they came to a tea shed, and a group of people waited for a rest.
"Where is this little brother going?" An old gentleman who was drinking tea at the side started talking when he saw Huo Feng was alone.
"Going home to visit relatives." Huo Feng said.
"Little brother, there are troops coming from who don't know where outside, and they are starting to come here. It's not peaceful. I guess the roads nearby are not smooth. You should go back to the city in the next two days." The old man reminded him kindly. .
"Thank you sir for reminding me." Huo Feng looked at the low twilight in the sky and had an idea in his mind.
But at this moment in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, all the guards seemed to be drunk, with indecent postures, and passed out in every corner.
Seeing this scene, Fu Min was not surprised, but continued to walk towards the prison alone with the key, until he reached an empty prison.
So he knelt down respectfully and said, "Master, I am late."
There was a sound of shackles not far away, and the speaker's tone was somewhat complaining: "It's a bit late."
"But it doesn't matter anymore."
The person called "Master" chuckled lightly, and the shackles in his hands fell to the ground, tearing off a layer of film on his face.
☆, suppression
1 Ruoxuan is the only one who protects Chen Yu after entering the Golden Luan Hall.
"Emperor brother!" Jing Ze called out high, the smile on his mouth did not weaken in the slightest, "Well, talking is too boring, let your guard compete with mine. And the two of us, let's compare How about the sword?"
Chen Yu's expression was calm, and there was a smile on his face, but he said in an extremely relaxed tone: "Brother Huang, if this is the case, you will regret it."
Jing Ze laughed out loud, completely different from his usual taciturn appearance, and said, "Brother Huang? Isn't that the only Brother Huang in your eyes?"
These words touched the pain in Chen Yu's heart.He didn't reply for a while.
"When I was young, I competed with swords, but I never beat you." Jingze rubbed his sword, his voice was cold, but there was a moment of sadness in his eyes, "It's not just about swords, poetry and books, and archery. All win."
"Today, let's be upright, younger brother." Jing Ze threw an identical sword to Chen Yu.The sword's shell was glowing with purple light, and it collided with the carpet in the hall, making a dull sound.
"Your Highness!" Ruoxuan's sword had already been unsheathed, and she was about to protect Chen Yu's front, but was blocked by the opponent's guard with a sword.
Jing Ze picked up the long sword, and when the streamer on it turned, a star light spot converged on the tip of the sword, and when the light spot moved, a fatal sword was swung over.
After Chen Yu dodged, he took a few steps back.
"Brother Huang, are you and I determined to do this?" Chen Yu didn't pull out the sword from its sheath, but just stabilized his figure with the blade of the sword.
Although Jing Ze's eyes were indifferent, there was clearly visible anger between his brows.He dragged his sword and walked over slowly.The sharp point of the sword scratched the carpet of the Golden Luan Hall.
Ruoxuan and Jingze's guards are fighting quickly, but no one has the upper hand.
"Is the power of the world that important to you?" Chen Yu held the sword and watched Jingze approaching step by step.
Jing Ze snorted coldly, and said, "You and I were born in the emperor's family, how can you say something about whether the world is important or not? Emperor brother, you are too naive."
"Brother Six was only born four days earlier than me, but he always speaks out loud." Chen Yu hooked his lips, stroked the long sword lightly, and slowly moved the sword shell away.
When Jing Ze heard the age-old title of "Sixth Brother", his face couldn't help but change.
But that touch was only for a moment of Baoliang, and the next second, Jingze drew his sword again.
"Seventh brother, don't let your mind wander!" Jing Ze's sword faced Chen Yu's sword, and the strength of both sides was similar, so they were indistinguishable for a long time.
2 Situ Hengnan found a secret passage in the palace with the hints given by Chen Yu and a little vague memory, but it took a lot of trouble before he actually found the exit.
Fortunately, he discovered the fatal flaw of the storm-troubler: the military strength at the core of the imperial city is very insufficient.
It seems that the inner city is guarded, and the outer city is also equipped with military defenses, but in fact it is just an illusion of sufficient troops.
But after thinking about it, if the enemy's troops are really safe, why are they so obsessed with that special tiger talisman and longing for that army?
The secret passage leads directly to a wardrobe in a side hall at the side of the Golden Luan Hall.
Situ Hengnan carefully let out a sigh of relief before leaving the closet.
This should be the place where a concubine once lived, but there was no one there at this time, and it was a bit empty.
Situ Hengnan peeped out from a small hole, and he could only see two layers of military handles around the Golden Luan Hall.
Putting his hand on the scabbard, he took another deep breath and rushed out of the side hall.
He approached the first guard at the fastest speed, and where the sword light fell, there were guards who collapsed all the way.
Soon, it was only the last round.
He clearly heard the sound of sword fighting inside the palace gate, and his heart tightened a bit.
In front of and behind him, the last encirclement soldiers stood together with the soldiers who had not sealed their throats before, forming a circle to encircle.
One of them said backwards: "Young General, stop."
"Since you call me a major general, you should know who I hate the most." Situ Hengnan raised his long sword, and the wisps of fresh blood on it converged on the tip of the sword, dripping miserably.
"Major General, I have never betrayed anyone, I just protect the Lord wholeheartedly."
As soon as the voice of the speaker fell, he raised his sword to Situ Hengnan first.
"Is protecting your lord a great excuse to connive at the regicide?!" Situ Hengnan was also angry, and after saying a word loudly, he made a move without reservation.
3 Huo Ling waited anxiously in front of the tent outside the city, and it wasn't long before Xi Run came out.
"How?" He leaned forward and asked.
Seeing him, Xi Run shook his head melancholy.
"Oh, what should I say? This is simply a stubborn old man!" Huo Ling kicked a stone beside him.
"We were the ones who lied to him with a forged tiger talisman, and now the fan owner's anger has finally dissipated, and he has promised me not to withdraw." Xi Run patted Huo Ling's shoulder, "That's already very good."
"But now we don't even know where the other two are. We're staying in this temporary garrison, are we waiting for the Tiger Talisman to come by itself?" The emergency soldiers and horses are short of food and grass, so they slipped away with this excuse. I told that old man that there was a rebellion, so why didn't I believe it!"
Although Xirun was also worried, he still said: "Master Fan only recognizes the tiger talisman, and does not recognize your one-sided words. Burning and looting."
After hearing this, Huo Ling thought it made sense, so he didn't continue to complain.
The two of them were silent for a while, each thinking of a solution.
After a long time, a commander came to report that someone was looking for the commander-in-chief of the army, saying that he had something important to present.
When Huo Ling and Xirun heard about it, they asked the man to come to them first.
The visitor stood in a plain robe, with black pupils that were clear and shiny, leading a horse with a red mane. It was Huo Feng.
"breeze?"
"Cousin?"
When Huo Ling and Huo Feng met each other, they were both full of surprise.
"It turned out to be Xiaofeng." Xi Run opened his mouth, and Huo Feng said solemnly, "Your Highness".
"Xiaofeng, I have already said that there is no high majesty, only Xirun, a plain minister who guards the northwest border." Xirun smiled gently.
"Xiaofeng, you said you have something important to present?"
When he walked into the military tent, Huo Ling asked, and Huo Feng immediately guessed that an important part of the Tiger Talisman was in Xirun's hands.
"Situ gave it to me." Huo Feng took out the wooden box from the bag.
Xi Run took the wooden box and opened it. Inside was a part of the tiger charm they had been waiting for for a long time, the black tiger head.
"It seems to be held by General Situ." Xi Run closed the wooden box, "Unfortunately, we still lack a part."
Xi Run peeped out from his arms, half of the vermilion tiger talisman was spread out in his hand, shining faintly.
"I originally thought that the part that Situ gave me would be the last part." Seeing this situation, Huo Feng couldn't help frowning, "Who will hold the other one?"
Huo Ling also scratched his head, thought for a while and said: "Here, the generals and the royal family are all here, and there must be a powerful minister."
"Not necessarily." Xi Run rubbed the vermilion tiger charm in his hand, "It's also possible, the rest are still in the palace."
"Oh, what the emperor's mind really is..." Huo Ling couldn't help but touch his forehead, "I don't know what's going on in the palace. By the way, Xiaofeng, when you left, the palace was already in chaos?"
"No, when I left two days ago, everything in the imperial city was very peaceful." Huo Feng replied, "But later there was some news that General Situ's mansion was searched."
Xi Run put away the Tiger Talisman, and said: "If there is a chaos in the palace, some people will leave the city in a hurry. If so, Master Fan will not believe that someone rebelled."
"Exactly." Huo Feng's frowning eyebrows never relaxed.
"Kid Hengnan gave you the part of the Tiger Talisman held by Situ Mansion, so..." Huo Ling's face also became worried, "Is he still in the inner city?"
"Yes." Huo Feng clenched his fists, "I guess the people following the general are all trapped
