Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Mutual Restraint

The guards opened the door of the carriage, Hua'er got out of the carriage first, and then helped Lian Xiuxiu out of the carriage. Lian Xiuxiu's feet just touched the ground, and suddenly she was spinning, but fortunately the flowers supported her so she didn't fall to the ground. All the imperial guards, factory guards and Qi Bo were shocked. Hua Da'er exclaimed: "Miss! Miss!" Lian Xiuxiu rubbed her forehead, came back, shook her head and said: "It's okay, maybe I'm tired." In my heart, I vaguely remembered that when Cao Guogong Li Jinglong looked at her, he also fainted for a moment like now, and then everything as usual.

Seeing that she was fine, everyone thought that she was too tired to act and nothing serious happened, so they all breathed a sigh of relief. Ma Jianrong, the head of the East Factory who had prevented Mrs. Li Ji from delivering the almond dew just now, bowed respectfully and admired: "Miss's performance just now is really a masterpiece of all ages, and all of us brothers are all deeply moved." Lian Xiuxiu smiled lightly, and after a few words of modesty, she wanted to enter the house, so as to wait for Lang Fanyun's arrival. Ma Jianrong walked with her, and said in a low voice: "The villains have received the emperor's secret order, and the hero Lang Fanyun will personally pick up the young lady from the palace. Hey: We also admire him very much."

Lian Xiuxiu shouted in shock: "What?" Ma Jianrong said it again, Lian Xiuxiu dare to believe it.But he couldn't figure out the relationship between Lang Fanyun and Zhu Yuanzhang. When he came to the inner hall, Ma Jianrong said: "Miss, please leave the more than ten boxes of costumes here. As long as you let me know in the future, they will be delivered immediately." Lian Xiuxiu still had a dreamlike feeling, after a promise, she apologized and entered the room to rest, she was indeed a little tired. When everyone came to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang left the dragon seat and went down to greet each other, avoiding the ceremony of the emperor and his ministers.

He, Mrs. Wangqing, Xiang Cangsong and others have known each other for a long time, when he was about to reminisce about the past, suddenly the dragon's body shook violently, and he looked at Gu Zixian beside Feng Xinglie in disbelief. Gu Zixian remembered the ghost king's warning and cried out in her heart. Since she knew that Lang Fanyun and Lian Xiuxiu have a deep friendship, she has been in a trance and neglected this matter. Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, not understanding that Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been calm and composed, would become so weird. Zhu Yuanzhang settled down, Longmu flashed an extremely complicated look, shook his head and sighed: "I'm sorry! This girl is eight or nine points similar to an old friend I knew, so I misread it for a while." Haha laughed , Reverting to the spirit of a generation of overlords, after exchanging pleasantries with everyone, he wondered, "Where did Han Bai go?"

Fan Liangji said: "He accompanied Yuezhang to talk to King Yan, and he came right away." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Yun Su's place, stayed for a short while, and said with a smile: "I have always wanted to hold a banquet to entertain the masters of the Eight Sects. It is just that it is better to meet by chance than to invite each other. A table of vegetarian dishes is prepared in the hall, everyone please!" Everyone happily walked towards the nave. Gu Qianlian leaned closer to Xiao Linglong's ear and said, "Unexpectedly! We actually have the opportunity to eat on an equal footing with the emperor."

Fan Liangji yelled narrowly from behind: "Little Lian'er, what are you talking about? Can you speak louder." Gu Qianlian was taken aback, she turned her head and gave him a hard look, but she no longer dared to speak. Han Bai entered the apse and knelt down to King Yan who was sitting on his seat. King Yan was startled, stood up, rushed to help him up, and scolded: "How can Brother Han treat a friend like this?" Han Bai took the opportunity to get up, and said with a smile: "You are about to become the emperor, how dare you be negligent." King Yan was touched and sighed: "Being an emperor may not be a good thing, but in Xiao Wang's situation, it is a choice between life and death. Brother Han, please don't do this. Father Huang and Xu Lao are friends, let me also have Han Brother, this confidant!"

Han Bai was surprised and said: "Please don't make me a Martial King or a mighty King. I like to be free, go to brothels and pick up beautiful girls, and everything else can be avoided." Yan Wang kindly pulled him to sit aside, and said: "For so many years, this is the first time Xiao Wang sees his father liking someone, and Xiao Wang now feels the same way, if it wasn't for Brother Han, next year today would be Xiao Wang's death day What's more. Brother Han is still the son-in-law of Xiao Wang's great benefactor, so no matter what Xiao Wang becomes, we will still treat each other as equals."

Zhibi Han Bai also had to admire Seng Daoyan's foresight.Kneeling here by myself, and letting the king of Yan personally exempt him from the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers, of course it is the same as talking to him boldly. Looking at him with a smile, he said: "King Yan is indeed superb in internal energy, and he has drained out such a powerful and hard-to-prevent Gu poison for you." King Yan smiled bitterly and said, "However, my true essence has been depleted a lot, and I can't recover it in a short period of time, but I finally got rid of my troubles."

After looking at him with darker eyes than usual for a while, he said: "Brother Han's magic skills have improved a lot, and now I'm afraid Xiao Wang is no match for you." Han Bai said modestly, "Today, my younger brother came to see King Yan..." Yan Wang stretched out his hand and grabbed his shoulder and said happily: "Needless to say, just for Brother Han's sake, Xiao Wang won't argue with the Xining faction, please invite them in!" Han Bai had great face and walked out of the apse happily. As expected, Yan Lingna kept her word and waited for him outside the door. Knowing that King Yan wanted to see Zhuang Jie and Sha Tianfang, she immediately ordered someone to invite him, and took him to a secluded place in the garden. How about drinking with you tonight?"

This time it was Han Bai's turn to think hard, scratching his head and said, "Is it okay to wait until these three days have passed?" Yan Lingna sneered: "What do you mean it's so difficult for a man with three wives and four concubines to come here for one night, I'm ignoring you." She just ran away like that. Han Baikong stomped his chest and feet, and had no choice but to go to the Qianqing Palace. As soon as Lian Xiuxiu stepped into the door, she saw Lang Fanyun raised his legs, drinking from the clear stream and flowing spring leisurely, and the world-renowned Rain-covering Sword was placed on the long table beside the chair.

Lian Xiuxiu went to the door, cheered, and sat on Lang Fanyun's lap. Lang Fanyun's eyes flashed with lightning, as if he had discovered something, he turned and retracted, his left hand went around her back, his five fingers lightly touched her vest, and he praised casually: "Among all the fans in the audience, I am afraid that Lang is the happiest Seeing Xiuxiu's performance getting better and better, Lang feels luckier." Lian Xiuxiu took a deep breath, and sang softly: "After putting on makeup, I asked my husband-in-law in a low voice, is the thrush suitable for fashion?" This word describes the happy life of the first-time bride in the newly married life, which is very vivid. "Whether it is fashionable or not" refers to whether it is in line with the popular style.Lian Xiuxiu deserves to be the number one talented woman in the world, she is as natural as she is at her fingertips.The beauty of singing is not to be second thought. Lang Fanyun couldn't help but froze when he heard her utter lightly, the words falling like pearls on a jade plate, making loud noises. After singing, Lian Xiuxiu said softly: "Langlang! As long as you don't dislike it, before the battle of blocking the river, they will cook wine and play the zither for you every night, and sing and talk together." Lang Fanyun recalled the scene of getting along with Ji Chanxi in the past, only felt that the past was like smoke, and the past was like passing water, and sighed softly: "What virtue and ability can Lang, to be so wrongly in love with Xiuxiu." Lian Xiuxiu said affectionately: "In Xiuxiu's eyes, no one is more worthy of Xiuxiu's love than Lang Fanyun." The waves turned over the clouds and the tiger's body shook violently. Why is this sentence so familiar? Didn't Ji Xixi say something similar to him before? Lian Xiuxiu is like another Ji Xixi, who is famous all over the world for her beauty, cleverness, and peerless singing skills.When he saw her for the first time, he couldn't help thinking about Ji Xixi from her. Gu Zixian resembles Xixi in appearance, but Lian Xiuxiu resembles in spirit. Lang Fanyun sighed again, and said with a smile, "Where is Xiuxiu thinking?" Lian Xiuxiu's pretty eyes lit up, and she asked tentatively, "How is Dongting Lake?" Lang Fanyun shrugged coolly and said, "Why not?" Lian Xiuxiu was overjoyed and said: "It's a deal. Fanyun! Can you set off immediately? People are looking forward to this moment, and their necks are so long." Lang Fanyun suddenly became lazy, and said spontaneously: "We can go after we see the guests." Lian Xiuxiu asked in astonishment: "What guest?" Lang Fanyun's eyes lit up, and he said lightly, "Shan Hierarch is here, why don't you show up and meet?" Shan Yuru's coquettish laughter came from outside the window immediately. Having a banquet at the same table with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is no small event.Everyone was a little cautious, but Zhu Yuanzhang was in high spirits, kept persuading him to drink, and talked about interesting stories about fighting and governing the country. His speech has incomparable charm, not only because his words are vivid and thoughtful, but also because he sees things from the perspective of the lord of the world, which is very different from everyone's thinking, making people sound like the old man. The joy of being an emperor. Of course, what I drink is Qingxi Liuquan. Zhu Yuanzhang was very polite and kind to Gu Zixian, but he didn't arouse the slightest uneasiness on the other side, and handled it just right.Ye Sudong and Yan Wuji were accompanying guests because they were important figures in the Eight Sects. The old man and the shadow eunuchs all returned outside the hall, saving everyone from embarrassment.After all, they are transcendent figures from one of the two holy places. With them standing by and waiting, no one would have the nerve to sit still. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang talked about the matter of winning the world back then, and said with a sigh: "The reason why I was able to win the world is because the soldiers worked hard and the military discipline was strict, but more importantly, it was because the Lord Zhai gave his son when he was parting. I am 'people-oriented'." In a word, every time I capture a city or a place, the first thing I do is to make the people peaceful and free from harassment. Since people can live and work in peace and contentment, they will naturally support me. Putting the people first will enable me to finally defeat the heroes and overthrow the Yuan Dynasty. .” Both Xiang Cangsong and Mrs. Wangqing were the ones who helped Zhu Yuanzhang conquer the world, and they nodded in agreement. Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent suddenly, and drank a glass of dull wine silently. At this moment, Han Bai rushed over, breaking the awkward atmosphere, and sat between Zhuang Qingshuang and Xu Yeyue. Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "You lucky boy, I only understand the feeling of jealousy now." Everyone couldn't help smiling. Han Bai couldn't help looking to the obedient and quiet Yun Su on the left who was sitting next to Mrs. Wangqing. The latter lowered her eyes to avoid making eye contact with him.When he inspected the crowd, he found Bo Zhaoru sitting next to Qi Changzheng, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. Theoretically, when the two sat together while watching a play just now, Bo Zhaoru had to avoid suspicion and no longer sat next to Qi Changzheng. Now that's the case, could it be that Bo Zhaoru couldn't resist Qi Changzheng in the end? Master Wangqing said: "Master Zhuang Pai and Sha Gong have something to do, so let him go?" After Han Bai answered, he said solemnly: "I never imagined that Bai Fanghua would be so powerful that he could use magic skills to escape from the siege easily. Therefore, there must be a fierce battle to protect the lords today. The most unfavorable thing now is that the enemy is dark and we are clear." , as long as there are a few more powerful characters like Bai Fanghua, we... Hey!" Yan Wuwei felt the same way, nodded and said: "The White Demon Girl is indeed extraordinary, if it weren't for the indistinguishable enemy from us, we could have brought in the best of the imperial guards to help out, but now we can only rely on you." Master Wangqing pondered and said: "No matter how powerful the enemy is, how dare they act rashly if there are waves on our side hiding in the dark?" Mrs. Xiang Yunshang from the scholarly family still looked elegant and leisurely, and said softly: "If the concubine is Shan Yuru, if I haven't found a way to restrain the hero Lang for a day, I will never act rashly. I will talk about it later." It’s not going to be smooth sailing, nothing will happen.” Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly and said: "From the incident of Zhong Shan's cannon shooting, I realized that I have always underestimated Shan Yuru, and also underestimated her strength of Mi Zhi for more than 20 years. Don't take it lightly." Fan Liangji let out a breath of cold air and said: "The emperor's opinion is high, like Bai Fanghua, I have always underestimated her, thinking that she only has the ability to seduce those self-proclaimed sentimental boys, but her charm has reached such a terrifying level." Everyone knew that he was undermining Han Bai, so they couldn't help being angry and funny. Xu Yeyue reached over and twisted Han Bai's thigh under the table. Han Bai grimaced in pain, knowing that old thief Fan was dissatisfied with him for ignoring his views on Bai Fanghua, took the opportunity to mock him, and sighed: "Oh! Old thief, imagine if I'm not sentimental, How can you find out the true identity of the White Demon Girl, you can't steal it secretly, and you have obtained the Emperor's beloved 'Panlong Covering the Moon'." These few words of counterattack were so powerful that Fan Liangji couldn't take it anymore, he raised his glass and said, "Come on! Let's have a drink together, and I hope the world will be settled in one battle." Just like that, he passed away vaguely. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his glass first. Except for Mrs. Wangqing and Mrs. Yunqing who don't drink alcohol, everyone drank heavily from the cup. Han Bai's heart moved, thinking of what a touching scene it would be if Yun Su could drink a sip of the clear stream.Xuan also secretly blamed himself for not accumulating evil virtues, and was always thinking about nun Lingmei's misbehavior, which was extremely contradictory. The atmosphere is now a little more relaxed. But because Zhu Yuanzhang was present, no one dared to bow their heads and whisper to each other. Xiang Cangsong said: "Although we have no way of knowing the true strength of the Destiny Sect, we can still have a rough idea. For example, the four masters of the 'Jade Owl Seizing Soul' Demon Sect at that time, three of them have already appeared. Xiao'Yang Ling was killed by Brother Feng, only the 'Duo Soul' solution talisman has not yet emerged, and the remaining three can be said to be the core strength of the Destiny Cult." After a pause, he continued: "As for the demon sect like Bai Fanghua It is very difficult to cultivate one of the rising stars, and the old man does not believe in the Destiny Sect. There is another Bai Fanghua. In addition, Mr. Lian, the military commander of the Destiny Sect who incarnates Zhang Hao, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, or one or two such characters, Ying Ke summed up the strength of the highest level of the Destiny Sect. The others are witches who specialize in seductiveness. Even if they have excellent martial arts, Ying is far inferior to Bai Fanghua. Just like the kind who attacked Brother Feng and the other three in the theater just now There's food." Zhu Yuanzhang praised: "Brother Cangsong's analysis is very thorough, but this 'Duosoul' Xiefu is Shan Yuru's senior brother. Looking back, we can see that this person's internal energy is extremely high, not inferior to Shan Yuru, so we must not ignore him lightly, thinking that he is just like Yang Ling and Du Mu." Everyone breathed out a sigh of relief, but it was really hard to deal with a Shan Yuru who was already giving people such a headache, and now there was an extra deciphering talisman. Master Wangqing's eyes flickered with a strange light that no one had seen before, and she said in a deep voice: "Supposing the Changbai faction really took refuge in the Destiny Sect, the master who attached to the Destiny Sect thought that the martial arts of the Immortal Immortals were the strongest. Yu has been killed by the sword of Qi's younger brother, and Shi Zhongtian, the "sword demon" of the "Phantom Sword Sect", has been injured by the sword of Fuyu, and it is difficult to participate in the rebellion. Therefore, the masters and outsiders of the Destiny Sect itself should only be these few. personal." Everyone was dumbfounded, Shan Yuru had already taught them how to cope that night, and the other party had endless magic tricks, so they were still not optimistic about fighting. Fan Liangji said: "Sect Master Xiang and Shitai may have missed one of the most powerful figures in the Demon Sect. This person is Fu Yaohong's younger brother 'Xie Buddha' Zhong Zhongyou. If this person is not dead, he is at least a hundred years old now. It is Shan Yuru. Pang Ban just approached the number one master of the demon sect when he debuted, defeated him within ten moves, and fled away. Since then, he has disappeared. At the beginning, I thought he was in a slump, and I didn’t think of him until today. Maybe it's just to cooperate with Shan Yuru's conspiracy, to hide and never show up. It's not uncommon for a person like him with profound magic skills to live to be a hundred years old." This time even Zhu Yuanzhang's face became serious. Han Bai let out a breath of cold air and said, "Why don't we quickly find Hero Lang, or see if Master Zen has returned home?" Master Wangqing said in a deep voice: "If Zhong Zhongyou is still alive, we will be in a very disadvantageous situation in this edict battle." Up to this point in the discussion, everyone is still limited to the opponent's strongest master, and the next-level masters have not been counted. If Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, the second-generation top masters in the imperial court, are counted, their strength is indeed amazing.Assuming that Shuai Nianzu and Zhi Potian also took refuge in Shan Yuru, then unless there is a wave of help, there is no need to fight this battle.Of course, the problem is that the old man and others must accompany Zhu Yuanzhang to the southern suburbs to sacrifice to heaven and earth, otherwise no matter how tyrannical Shan Yuru and others are, they will not be stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang's power. The most important thing about the result of "leading the snake out of the hole" is to teach Shan Ziru that if he can't grab this fictitious edict, then after Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to drink poisoned wine, Shan Yuru and others had no choice but to take the risk and mobilize all the people directly connected to the Tianming Cult. The ministers and generals of the department controlled the situation, so that the "edict" was stillborn and could not see the light.If Shan Yuru succeeds in opening the treasure house in the Treasure Pavilion in the Hall of Spring Harmony and finds that there is no such thing as a "legacy", then they just need to wait and see what happens, and the ingenious plan of "leading the snake out of the hole" will fall short. Qi Changzheng snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter what expert he came here, old Qi... Hey! I, Qi Changzheng, are not afraid of him." Feng Xinglie said indifferently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, with the guidance of Mrs. Wangqing and seniors, we will definitely not let Shan Yuru succeed." Both of them showed strong confidence and the courage to move forward. In comparison, Han Bai seemed much more timid.But no one dared to underestimate Han Bai, because his Dao Heart Demon Planting Dafa happened to be the nemesis of the Demon Sect figures. Ye Sudong said: "The two brothers of the last general will come to help out. If Shan Yu came to grab the edict today, he would not dare to make a large-scale attack. It would only provoke the 20,000 guards guarding the palace to join the battle. Doubling the number of people can't please leave, so they should only come with a limited number of masters. This battle is purely strong against strong. As for courtiers and traitors such as Qi Tai and Zhang Hao, they must attend the Southern Suburb Ceremony. Can't be separated." Yan Wuhou frowned and said, "We seem to have neglected Shurangama and his subordinates." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said, "I thought about this problem a long time ago, so I have never announced his crimes, nor dismissed him, so he is still the head of the factory guard. He will be easily recognized by the Jin Yiwei guarding Licheng, and everyone knows that he has betrayed me. If he wants to command the factory guards in the future, it will be very problematic. Moreover, he is a selfish person by nature. Apart from being loyal to Pang Ban, other People don't take it seriously, so I guess he will stay out of this edict dispute." Then there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "Besides, he has more urgent things to do." Turning to Yan Wu Frightened: "You can release the news to your subordinates, just say that Chen Yuzhen will be executed immediately after returning from offering sacrifices to heaven and earth." Everyone was stunned. The most powerful one was Zhu Yuanzhang. With this move, he distracted Shurangama and forced him to show himself in front of his subordinates.However, rescuing Chen Yuzhen is easier to understand than treason. If Zhu Yuanzhang died of poison, it will be easier to argue for right and wrong in the future. The situation at this time is very delicate, even if Yun Wen can ascend to the throne of God, he must not let anyone know that his position was usurped back.That would immediately throw the world into chaos.So if Shurangama became such a clue, then Yun Wen had no choice but to sacrifice him.Of course, Shurangama's only way is to take advantage of the chaos to rescue Chen Yuzhen without anyone noticing, but with Zhu Yuanzhang's old tricks, it won't be so cheap. This adulterer and rival in love, we know that he must have a way to deal with Shurangama of. Han Bai said: "If you do something about it, what will the guards of the imperial city do?" Anyone other than you is not allowed to enter. The disadvantage of the previous plan is that someone might suddenly turn against you, and it is impossible to guard against. Ministers like Zhang Hao and Qi Tai can become members of the Destiny Sect, but it is even more difficult for those imperial guards and factory guards. I was spared." After pondering for a while, he continued: "Is this okay? Let King Yan send manpower to strengthen your strength." Fan Liangji laughed and said: "It's inevitable, if there are waves and clouds supporting us, who else should we be afraid of. Besides, friends and enemies are hard to distinguish now, the emperor needs manpower to protect us." Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long laugh, and stood up, so frightened that everyone stood up immediately. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty showed an excited look on his face, and said with a heroic attitude: "That's the decision, now I set off to the southern suburbs to worship the heaven and the earth, and when I return to the palace, it will be the moment for the rebels to be punished."
