Chapter 1371: Autumn Frost

Standing in the clouds and fog, the white fox fur is piled like snow.

Jiang Wuqi's face had a trace of gloss that was rarely seen in the past, and his noble yet cold eyes gently swept around, as if looking at his mountains, rivers and land.

"The equal country plots against the enemy, and the orphan must be punished!"

Every word is like a broken silver vase, like the sound of swords and guns.

He shouted in a long voice: "Who else is coming?"

He was talking about this time, but not just this time.

Zhang Yong's Crying Temple is a conspiracy by Ping Ping to slander the emperor's name. He was implicated and unable to recover. His foundation lies in the court, and even more so in the emperor's favor. Losing the emperor's heart is almost equal to losing everything.

And today is Jiang Wuqi's counterattack!

At this time, there was no sound in the surrounding areas, the clouds stopped and the wind became quiet.

He turned his palms to suppress the majesty of the two gods, as if even this Yunwu Mountain was intimidated.

"Your Highness, you accidentally hurt me!" Li Yougui's voice sounded in the palm of his hand.

Without saying a word, Jiang Wuqi turned around and walked down the mountain through the clouds and mist.

A strong man from the Equality Country chose to assassinate someone today. Li Guilty, who "happened" to be on duty in a nearby area, could he be innocent?

Even the record of Li Youyun adjusting the rotation area was already in Jiang Wuqi's hands.

Of course, Li Yougui can have many reasonable explanations...

But he didn't listen.

He, Jiang Wuqi, used his body as bait, and of course there were more people he wanted to catch. This line will spread throughout the Qi Kingdom... The Changsheng Palace is fully prepared for today!

But at this time here in Yunwu Mountain, these are the only gains.

After all, what he has always shown is his inner cultivation. Even if you are the master of the Immortality Palace, the fish you can catch directly can only be at this level. The bigger the hook, the bigger the fish.

So he turned around.

The plank road under their feet was empty. Qiao Er and Li Yougui were both suppressed by the gods.

At that time, the morning sun was just rising, and the rays of rays were haloing on the horizon, making me ashamed to see the beautiful young man in the world.

The noble man from Tianhuang, clad in white fox fur, stepped into the air and the clouds and mist dispersed for him.

It’s hard to see each other again in heaven and on earth.

All the extraordinary monks in Yunwu Mountain who witnessed this scene were speechless!

Everyone knows that Jiang Wuqi, the eleventh prince of Da Qi, is a peerless figure. With perseverance and talent that is unimaginable to ordinary people, and under the innate restrictions of the cold poison, he has reached his current position as the master of the Palace of Immortality.

But the world doesn’t know that Jiang Wuqi is actually such a genius!

One step from the inner palace to the Divine Presence. Once entering the Divine Presence, he can easily fight one against two and suppress two powerful Divine Presence Realms with the flip of his palm!

Is this really humanly possible?

…

…

The same morning light falls on different places in Linzi.

It awakened some people's dreams and soothed some lost hearts.

The scenery is always similar, but the people are different.

Xiujia is the most magnificent house in Jinxianfang. It was built because of its distance, but also because of its distance, the house was deserted.

Still the quiet room, still the pot of tea.

Yan Tu and Xiu Yuan were still sitting opposite each other.

The same ordinary origins, the same amazing talents, the same joining the army, the same rapid rise to prominence.

These two commanders of the military hall, whose life experiences were so similar, established an enviable friendship early on. Counting with just a few fingers, the years and months are already hard to calculate.

Their tacit understanding is unparalleled, and they can talk more freely in private than with others.

But today there was a long silence.

Until there was a cry from two blocks away——

"Grind the scissors~~"

Although it was so far away, this sound was naturally heard by Yan Tu.

He picked up the tea cup and drank it all.

Snapped!

The tea cup paused on the table.

"Don't drink anymore, you'll make me feel useless!"

Yan Dadu stood up: "Let's go!"

But Xiu Yuan was still sitting there with his legs crossed, looking down at the tea cup. In the white moiré teacup, an upright tea leaf blooms like a branch, floating and dancing in the boiling water.

He seemed to be staring at it sinking, but the tealeaf never did.

"The operation failed, right?" Xiu Yuan asked.

Yan Tu, who had already reached the door, suddenly turned around: "What do you mean?"

Xiu Yuan gently turned the rim of the cup with his thumb and index finger: "I have been thinking, why do I value Cui Zhu so much? Why can he always agree with me before the gift of the master? He is obviously not that kind of person. But it seems that a person was molded exactly according to the mold I admired.”

He didn't look up, but asked: "Can you tell me the answer, Brother Yan?"

Yan Tu's face darkened: "We have been friends for so many years, and you doubt me?"

"Yes... we have been friends for so many years." Xiu Yuan sighed: "With your help, Cui Zhu can of course do what I want. Because of our friendship with me, no one can give you advice on him." What are you thinking about? It happened that the Zhanyu Army was on duty in Gyeonggi, so even if the Xia Kingdom sent high-level figures from Pingping Country, the clues would be cut off quickly. A role that doesn’t hurt..."

"With such random talk, I can pull out hundreds of different people. Don't you think it's far-fetched?" Yan Tu was furious: "Xiuyuan, is your brain damaged?"

"Far-fetched?" Xiu Yuan finally looked up at him, with a very unfamiliar look in his eyes: "I just feel sad. We have been friends for so many years, have you always kept a mask on me? Even now that I have been imprisoned, you still have to Come and use me to clear away the suspicion. Although Zhan Yujun was on duty in Gyeonggi, the commander of Zhanyu Army was drinking tea at my house when His Highness was in trouble! Do you think it’s appropriate, Brother Yan?”

"I don't know what you are talking about, and I don't know who you are bewitching. But Xiuyuan, you have disappointed me so much today! Is our decades of friendship used to make you suspicious?" Yan Tu was heartbroken. He turned around and said, "Just calm down for a while!"

"I am calm, but you are not calm enough." Xiu Yuan said coldly: "You have lost your sense of proportion."

Yan Tu stood still, took a deep breath, and pointed, and he actually cut off a corner of the strong skirt.

clang!

It hit the ground and made a sound of gold and iron.

"Since you have never trusted me, it's okay if you don't do this as a friend!"

Xiu Yuan looked at his extraordinarily heavy back, couldn't help but shake his head, and laughed at himself: "His Majesty said that you are rough and fine, but you are more than thick and thin. You have a face like an iron tower, and all living beings are carved inside. "Niu Ma." Even at this moment, when I saw your performance, I doubted myself for a moment. "Yan Tu, Yan Tu, if it hadn't been for your highness's reminder, I really wouldn't have noticed that my Xiu Yuan was much worse than yours." !”

During the years when they were good friends with each other, whether it was drinking, practicing troops, or fighting, Xiuyuan never refused to lose, and always fought for precedence.

The sentence he said most often was——

For long distances, the word "yuan" comes first and the word "tu" comes after.

Today he said he was not as good as he was, and what was worse was naturally his disposition to use decades of friendship as a bargaining chip.

That's why his laughter is so sad.

"Unreasonable!" Yan Tu's face was as heavy as water and he was about to leave.

"Grind the scissors~~"

Xiu Yuan suddenly shouted from behind him. Every word and every tone was exactly the same as the voice two blocks away.

In other words, Xiuyuan also heard it.

In other words, the seal on Xiu Yuan... has long been released.

This is a game, a game specifically targeted at him!

Danger signals exploded in his heart, and Yan Tu quickly realized what the problem was.

Xiu Yuan said that it was the Eleventh Prince who reminded him that he began to realize something was wrong.

That meant that everything that happened today was under Jiang Wuqi's control. This opportunity to assassinate Jiang Wuqi was given by Jiang Wuqi himself.

They were already in trouble when they had the idea of ​​assassinating Jiang Wuqi.

Mastering Jiang Wuqi's whereabouts, understanding the defense situation of the Changsheng Palace, mobilizing forces to make seemingly natural cooperation for this operation, from the Qingpai headhunting to the coordinated response of the troops on duty in Gyeonggi... all these actions, They can be very stealthy indeed. The organization has always acted cautiously and without leaving any traces.

But if this process is watched closely by a pair of eyes, there will be flaws everywhere!

What a cruel person.

Ping Ping Guo implicated Jiang Wuqi in the case of Zhang Yong's Crying Temple. Jiang Wuqi changed hands and used him as bait to uproot Ping Ping Guo's arrangements in Qi State!

Yan Tu was very sure that there was no ambush on the other side of Yunwu Mountain. As a senior member of the Daqi Military Academy and in charge of the garrison affairs of the entire Gyeonggi region, what big move can be hidden from him?

Jiang Wuqi really threw himself into a dead end, so that he could really catch the big fish.

Otherwise, he would not agree to this action, and King Zhao, who was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Region, would not approve it either.

How did Yunwu Mountain fail?

A godly Qiao Er is responsible for the attack and killing, and a godly Li Yougui helps control the field and blocks rescues as a green card. It is difficult to capture Jiang Wuqi alive and leave, but killing an inner government should be foolproof.

Is there any real person who was not in Linzi before who lurked to take action? Or is there even a true king watching over there?

Why did he, as the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers garrisoned in the capital, not receive any news?

Could it be that, as Xiu Yuan said, he had already been suspected beforehand?

These are questions that Yan Tu must think about. Only by thinking clearly can he make fewer mistakes in his next response.

Of course, now, there are not many choices before him.

Yan Tu walked out the door calmly, without any reaction to Xiu Yuan's words, and only said: "Xiu, you and I are righteous today, and we will do our best in the future!"

But his military boots stopped after taking only one step.

Because right in front of him, a white lantern penetrated the space and came out.

"General Yan, please stay." The blind old man standing in front of him said.

Although his figure is obviously stooped, he seems to be filled with space. It's obviously trembling and towering, but it's like an abyss or an ocean.

The watchman who takes orders directly from the emperor!

Functional Inspector General Ye, punish all evil and sycophants.

Suddenly facing this blind old man, few people in the entire Qi country could not help but be frightened.

But Yan Tu took a step forward instead and said with great momentum: "I am the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers. I have fought for the country all my life and am ranked in the Great Qi Military Hall! You watchers dare to take me for no reason?"

The old man holding the white paper lantern said slowly: "Then I will tell you."

"The man who was grinding the scissors was normal. He just had a dream last night. That dream affected him, and when he passed by the fried dough sticks stall, he saw three or five fried dough sticks, and the cries were different. Speech speed and focus.

The person selling fried dough sticks was also normal, except that a man happened to be passing by at that time and bought a lot of fried dough sticks, leaving only three fried dough sticks on his shelf.

The person buying fried dough sticks was also normal. Someone gave her a knife and asked her to buy just that much. After she bought the fried dough sticks, she went to look for the person who asked her to help, but that person had disappeared.

Our clues also stopped at this link, and we did not find the person who gave her the knife money... It is really a very cautious organization. "

"It sounds complicated." Yan Tu said, "But what does this have to do with me?"

The blind old man asked: "You said they took so much trouble, what message do they want to convey? What does that cry represent?"

Yan Tu sighed: "How do I know?"

"We don't know what it represents, but what we can be sure of is that it definitely has its meaning and is by no means ordinary."

The blind old man said calmly: "Focusing on the scissors grinder, we investigated everyone in the three nearby blocks. In order of cultivation, there were only a total of only 10 people who happened to hear that sound during that time period. Four hundred and seventy-one people..."

Yan Tu looked at the white paper lantern held by the blind old man in front of him, and felt that it was like a fluttering, soul-calling flag, swaying in his eyes.

And the old man’s voice continued to ring in my ears——

"As you can imagine, we have investigated all four hundred and seventy-one people in detail. So far, only three people have not been able to rule out suspicion, and you, General Yan, are one of them."

Yan Tu shook his head and expressed his admiration: "What a wonderful process."

"His Royal Highness Eleven has a saying that I deeply believe - 'In the face of the stupidest methods, the smartest people cannot hide. Because smart people are only used to dealing with smart people.'" The blind old man said: "So we use I used this stupid method to find you, a smart person."

"To be honest, your guess is very exciting, and His Highness Eleven is also very smart. But are you taking it too much for granted?" Yan Tu said angrily: "A scissors grinder had a strange dream, and it changed slightly. Just because I have extraordinary cultivation and can hear it from such a distance, is it so unbelievable that a commander of nine soldiers is suspected of colluding with the equal country? "

"Don't you understand yet? It's not that you are suspected because of this matter. It's that His Highness Eleven has been doubting you for a long time, and today's incident has just verified your suspicion! I'm not afraid to tell you and listen to myself. After the case, His Highness has been investigating your organization, and you are just one of the subjects of suspicion. General Yan, if you have any questions, you might as well ask them in the sky prison."

The blind old man said, turned around and walked forward: "Come with me, don't waste any more time."

There was a wall in front of him, but he just walked into the wall.

It's like walking from one world to another. It seems that he is not afraid of Yan Tu running away at all.

Yan Tu did not choose to escape, but he finally couldn't say anything to defend himself.

At least at this moment, there was no point in defending the blind old man. It is better to think carefully about how to sue yourself in front of the emperor.

There was no escape, and since the blind old man appeared in person, resistance was useless. Although the Zhan Yu Army under his command is currently on duty in the capital, it is not enough to be relied upon at such a moment.

Qi Ting allowed each family to establish clan troops within a certain range. Each county governor had great autonomy, and the clans within the territory also had freedom under the constraints of Qi laws.

Only the highest power of the Nine Soldiers was firmly grasped by Qi Ting.

The elite nine soldiers are the nine soldiers of Qi, not the nine soldiers of a certain family or a certain surname.

For example, when Chu Liang of Chongxuan mobilized the Qiu Killing Army, the imperial court would also need to issue a tiger talisman.

The Ruchun Death Army was personally controlled by Cao Jun. In the earlier battle at Jianfeng Mountain, Jiang Mengxiong mobilized them as soon as he said they would.

After all, the Nine Soldiers are loyal to Qi. Rather than a certain commander-in-chief.

Without orders from Qi Ting, he, the commander of the Zhanyu Army, could mobilize no more than a thousand troops.

Yan Tu never thought that he would be identified because of an extremely clever message transmission. In order to confirm his suspicion, the watchman went so far as to investigate everyone in the nearby three blocks at once!

Originally, the success or failure of Operation Yunwu Mountain would not affect him.

When was Jiang Wuqi discovered?

Yan Tu thought for a while, then stopped thinking and walked forward.

The past was full of storms, but he had no regrets in his heart.

But he didn't know why, at this moment, the first picture that came to his mind was the rainy night seventy-six years ago.

That dense and sad rain...

At that time, Qi State was not yet the overlord of the Eastern Region, and Jiang Shu had not even ascended the throne. He only fought on the battlefield as the prince, but he had already begun to show his majesty. As a core member of the Ping Dynasty, he joined the Qi State in conquering the Eastern Region.

It was a difficult rainy night. He was beaten to the point where he lost his armor and was separated from the army. In a cave, I met Xiu Yuan who also described himself as embarrassed.

When two very nervous people met for the first time, they greeted each other with swords and guns, and each of them fought with their injured bodies. In the process of life and death fighting, they learned each other's identities and turned their hostility into friendship.

The two of them hid in the cave for five days, and the rain didn't stop for five days.

Until one day, they heard a very bright bird call, and when they walked out of the cave, it was already clearing up after the rain.

It was much later that he learned about that kind of bird, which was called "Negative Rain".

According to records of exotic animals, there is a bird named "Ningyu" with three-color feathers and nine feet long wings. It rises in the wind and flies in the rain. When this bird crows, the clouds disperse and the rain collects.

He also told Xiu Yuan about this incident, but Xiu Yuan said that the one calling outside the cave that day was just a sparrow...

The wall in front of me seemed to be blocking everything. There is no way forward and no memories to be found.

Before stepping in, Yan Tu sighed: "The empty valley bears the rain, can I hear it again?"

Then he took one step forward and disappeared into the Xiu family.

And behind him, there was no response.

Since the leader of the night watchmen appeared, Xiuyuan had not said anything, but slowly turned the teacup in his hand and silently watched the confrontation between the two.

Until this moment, he shifted his gaze and looked at the piece of skirt armor lying on the ground, and remained silent for a long time.

Others cut their robes, Yan Tu cut his armor.

Xiuyuan shook his head.

He didn't know how many times he had despised Yan Tu's bull chewing peony, but at this moment, he also raised his cup and drank this excellent tea.

…

…

Zi Ji Hall.

The court meeting had been dispersed, and all the civil and military officials had left.

The Emperor of Qi was still in the hall.

On the high steps was a huge and gorgeous dragon throne.

The majestic hall was empty.

The Emperor of Great Qi did not review the memorials today, nor did he do anything else, but just sat there steadily.

After a long time, he sighed, "Am I sitting too high?"

At this moment, the only person serving beside him was Han Ling.

He did not respond, because the emperor did not need any answer.

Click, click.

The footsteps sounded outside the Purple Palace and on the huge white stone square.

In fact, they were not heavy, but they were very clear in their ears.

The emperor supported himself on the handrail, stood up, and walked to the Danbi.

The dragon boots touched the ground, which was stable and powerful.

The emperor walked very slowly, because every step carried the weight of the country.

The footsteps outside the palace were very gentle and regular.

Within the scope of "etiquette", it did not slow down.

When the Emperor of Qi finally walked down the Danbi, he stood in the hall of the Purple Palace and stood at the front of the courtiers' line on weekdays.

The thin figure wrapped in white fox fur also stood in the huge gate of the Purple Palace.

The huge gate like the sky made the person look even thinner.

In the morning light behind him, he looked like snow, and his fur coat looked like snow.

It brought a chill that could freeze a person's heart.

"I, your son, kowtow to your father!"

Jiang Wuqi pushed the golden mountain and overturned the jade pillar, and bowed down in the majestic Ziji Palace.

He could have gone to the emperor's bedroom to meet him, but today was a son meeting his father, and a minister meeting his emperor.

So he chose the Ziji Palace.

The Emperor of Qi did not stop his great ceremony, and the tassels hanging from the flat crown obscured the emotions of the supreme ruler of the Great Qi.

But the swaying pearl curtain clearly said that his mood was not calm.

In the end, the emperor only asked: "Why bother?"

Jiang Wuqi stood up properly, and now he was standing in front of the Emperor of the Great Qi. Finally, he could look his father in the face as a son.

This was a special grace granted by the Emperor of Qi.

But he kept his ministerial etiquette, lowered his eyes, and said seriously: "Father's great cause is imminent, and there must be no hidden dangers in the army."

The emperor said: "We have plenty of time..."

Jiang Wuqi said: "Time waits for no one."

"Wuqi." The emperor called only once, and then fell silent.

Han Ling, standing behind the emperor, did not say a word, standing like a silent sculpture, but his face was sad and his eyes were full of tears.

Only Jiang Wuqi was smiling.

He smiled, like a snowflake blooming in the Purple Palace.

In his life, there were few such bright and brilliant smiles.

Because he had carried too much since he was born. He was still in his cradle, and his ending was already determined.

How can flowers bloom in the frozen soil of life?

"Father, do you believe in your son?" Jiang Wuqi asked.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The emperor cannot help but doubt."

Jiang Wuqi's pale handsome face still smiled brightly: "Now you can trust your son."

He seemed to be determined to let the emperor of Qi remember how brilliant he was.

So he smiled so brightly.

"I just hope you believe me."

"Father, I have never been rebellious!"

"Please return the white jade you took away to your son."

"My son has never felt that he is so healthy. This feeling... is very good..."

And his smile froze like this.

In the early morning of October, it turned into autumn frost.

Three-in-one, one of the chapters is still an extra chapter for Brother Yan. 26/78.

Another day without saving the manuscript.

More importantly...I don't know if my post yesterday involving spoilers has affected the readers' reading experience.

Emphasizing that Jiang Wuqi will not see the truth is basically hinting at his ending.

In this case, the plot tension will inevitably be affected.

I am a little nervous.

I don't know how readers will feel.
