Chapter 12 The twelfth chapter is hard to dispel grief

Youxiao stretched his waist and said: "I really don't want to watch it. Being an emperor is so hard, so I really don't mind doing it. Nurse, what do you think?" Keshi was eager for him to ask this question, and replied: " I heard that Liu Tingyuan is very good at military affairs, why don't you ask him to lead the army?" You Xiao said: "Okay, Liu Tingyuan will be Liu Tingyuan!" He raised the ink pen and approved it on the memorial, and said with a smile: "Nurse, you will replace me in the future Look, I'll criticize whatever you say." Keshi forced him to read the memorial, and his intention was to annoy him on purpose so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to seize power. Hearing what he said, he was ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said with a frown "Brother You, I can't bear this burden. If there is a mistake, those Donglin party members will definitely not let me go." You Xiao said, "I don't want to say it." Then Keshi smiled and said: "Then you go to sleep. Let me watch the memorial." You Xiao said suddenly: "Xiong Tingbi is a great loyal minister!" As he spoke, he picked up a pen and scribbled on the paper. The font was crooked, but it was very large, even Yue Mingke You can also see clearly on the eaves, only to see that he wrote "Xiong Tingbi is a great loyal minister" all over the paper, there are always seven or eight lines.Ke Shi was startled, and asked with a smile, "How do you know that Xiong Tingbi is a loyal minister?" You Xiao said, "Father often told me that if Xiong Tingbi hadn't held up the border for us, the Manchurian Tartars would have already invaded. When the father was seriously ill, he ordered him to return to Beijing. Just now I saw the memorial issued by Xiong Tingbi half a month ago, saying that he has already left and is expected to arrive on the 28th. The 28th is the day after tomorrow. Do you think I should go out of the palace to meet him? "Yue Mingke was both surprised and delighted. What was surprised was that Xiong Jinglue returned to Beijing at this time. The court was in great chaos. Prime Minister Fang Congzhe and Wei Zhongxian colluded with each other inside and outside. They were friends, and the emperor was held hostage by the Hakka clan again. I was afraid that it would be bad for Xiong Jinglue. The three were happy. Days later, you can see the handsome man.With a thought, he suddenly remembered Zhuo Yihang's appointment in three days' time, and thought: "How could it be such a coincidence, Xiong Jinglue is scheduled to arrive in Beijing in three days' time, and his appointment also specifically mentioned the time limit of 'three days'!"

Keshi took a sip of the ginseng soup, smiled with his eyes tilted: "Look at you, you said you didn't worry about these things, but now you worry about it again. The late emperor passed away, and it was not even seven days before the 28th. You can't leave the palace. Let him come to see you. Good boy, you are tired too, go to sleep!" You Xiao wanted to sleep at first, but when he thought of Xiong Tingbi, he remembered something, and said: "I flipped through those memorials just now, and I saw that most of them were involved in the impeachment of Xiong Tingbi. Since Xiong Tingbi is a loyal minister, then those officials who impeached him He must be a traitor! I will sit in court tomorrow and question him one by one. Can you copy their names on the paper for me?" Yue Mingke secretly said: "Hey, this little emperor is actually very sensible in this matter " Ke Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "We sit in the deep palace and don't know what's going on outside. Although the late emperor said that Xiong Tingbi was a loyal minister, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be arbitrary in other aspects. Since there are so many people impeaching him, Then he must have done something wrong." You Xiao said: "Then you mean to punish Xiong Tingbi? Father and Emperor know it underground, so he will definitely not agree." Ke Shi said: "Let's ignore both sides. You If you question those who impeached Xiong Tingbi, you will be able to find so many officials to help you deal with political affairs at once." The principal thought for a while and said, "Okay, put those memorials into a big basket and give them to Xiong Tingbi Send it!"

Ke said: "Okay, okay, go to sleep!" You Xiao crumpled up the written words and threw them under the table.Ke Shi collected and carried the memorial for him, and led him to sleep.Youxiao suddenly made a strange face, and said: "Li Xuanshi wants to make a queen for me!" Li Xuanshi is Guangzong Changluo's favorite concubine, and Yuxiao's mother died early, so she treats her like a mother.Ke Shi smiled and said: "The emperor is very happy, my elder brother Yu has become an adult." You Xiao said: "I don't want a queen, I want a nurse to be a queen. Nursing lady, you are so beautiful, your daughter is just like yours." Like my sister, standing with you is not as good-looking as you!" Ke Shi spat and said, "Crazy talk!" He opened the door of the bedroom and entered with You Xiao.

Yue Mingke floated down to the ground, picked up the ball of paper from under the table, suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed outside, and hurriedly jumped onto the beam again, the door opened, and a graceful girl walked in.Yue Mingke thought to himself: Why is this girl so bold, she came in without even calling the door? Ke Shi asked in the back room: "Is it Ting'er?" The girl called "Mom".After a while, Mrs. Ke walked out from the inside, closed the door gently, and said, "Keep your voice down, the emperor just fell asleep." The girl said: "Eunuch Wei said that the emperor is here with you, so I came here."

This girl is Ke's daughter, named Ke Pingting.Before Ke Shi entered the palace, Wei Zhongxian was not yet a eunuch, the two were old friends, Ke Shi had an affair with him and gave birth to a daughter, this Ke Pingting.So not long after Shenzong's death, Wei Zhongxian brought her daughter for Keshi as soon as he took power.But Ke Pingting doesn't know that Wei Zhongxian is her biological father. Mrs. Ke pulled her daughter and sat down beside her, and said with a smile, "Silly girl, what are you doing here? Do you want to be a queen? It's a pity that you are not so lucky. Although the emperor listens to me, the queen must be from a famous family. Who told us My ancestors have never been a high-ranking official. I don’t want you to be a concubine. My dear daughter, don’t worry, I will definitely choose a good son-in-law for you.” Ke Pingting said with a red face, “Mom, that’s not serious. I asked you something serious, did you tell the emperor? Shigong said that it is always inappropriate for him to hide in the palace secretly. If he wants to get a Jinyiwei, he will direct him to do it." Ke Shi said: "There is no time to talk. "Ke Pingting said: "Master has already passed on my sword manual, I would be embarrassed if you don't tell him." Ke said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, dear girl, why are you so anxious? I I'll do it for you tomorrow."

Yue Mingke was so strange, she thought to herself: This girl also has a master, and she also practices swords!Ke Pingting suddenly said: "Mom, you can lend me that Longquan sword." Ke Shi said, "Don't mention this sword, this sword almost caused a big event." Ke Pingting said: "Look at it What does it matter." Ke Shi said: "You can't use this sword." Ke Pingting said: "I heard from Shigong and Mr. Murong that although there are many swords in the palace, only this one is the best, and the others are better than others. It's not the Dragon Sword that Eunuch Wei got newly!" Ke Shi showed a slightly surprised face, and said to himself: "No wonder that kid is so precious." Yue Mingke listened to them talking about his sword, and paid great attention to it.Keshi opened the closet while talking, Yue Mingke paid attention, and suddenly felt the breeze blowing, and a silver light shot towards him!

With a flick of Yue Mingke's sleeve, the plum blossom needles fell off one after another, and she jumped to the ground. Ke Pingting called out: "There is an assassin!" Seeing that it was Yue Mingke, Ke was shocked, and Ke Pingting called out: "Mom, don't panic, Daughter take him!" Ke Shi pressed the switch and disappeared into the dark room with double walls.Ke Pingting drew a long sword casually, and stabbed at Yue Mingke with a swipe. Yue Mingke was taken aback.What surprised me was not because of this young girl's superb swordsmanship, but because she used the moves of Yu Luocha's unique swordsmanship!At the moment, she avoided three moves in a row, and there was a lot of noise outside the door. Yue Mingke made an "autumn boat", all the way to her wrist, pointing at her face and eyes with both left hands. Panicked, Yue Mingke snatched the long sword away, leaped, and suddenly a sword manual fell to the ground.Yue Mingke hurriedly picked it up, but the guards outside the door had already rushed in.

Although the long sword that Yue Mingke captured was not a Longquan sword, it was also very sharp. With a casual slash, it cut off a guard's sword, and with his right foot, he kicked another guard out of the door and flew up to the eaves. Turned over on the ridge of the roof again, fled in a hurry, passed several buildings and palaces, and suddenly heard shouts of "catch the assassin" from all sides!Yue Mingke hid in the flowers and bushes, and saw dozens of guards rushing in all directions, but the direction of chasing was not the nurse's mansion that caused trouble to him. Yue Mingke was so surprised that he jumped to the top of the tree to look around, and saw a black shadow in the distance, Like a shooting star, it flew from the inner garden to the three main halls of Baohe Zhonghe and Taihe, and disappeared suddenly. The speed of the figure was unprecedented!That light work is by no means inferior to him!Yue Mingke was very surprised, he never thought that someone would break into the deep palace on the same night as him.

The guards searched everywhere, and after half a watch, they gradually dispersed. Yue Mingke saw only two guards patrolling nearby, walking around, and suddenly thought: Why don't I catch them and ask them?That is to say, he suddenly jumped out from behind the flowers and trees, stretched his arms obliquely, and used lightning-like techniques to divide the acupoints of the two enemies.The guard on the right suddenly leaned back and hooked Yue Mingke's wrist with a backhand. When he came out, the man made no sound, turned over, cut off his palms, and even rushed to attack the empty door on his left, Yue Mingke's sword trembled, stabbing the enemy's lower abdomen.This move was extremely fast, the man let out a "frightened" sound, lowered his head, and actually slipped through the bottom of the sword, his palms were retracted and sent out immediately, the wind of the palms clipped his ears and passed by!The purity of skill and the speed of changing moves are the only ones Yue Mingke has ever seen since facing the enemy.

Little did they know that Yue Mingke was surprised, but the man was even more surprised.He is the head coach of the Dongchang guards, the number one official among the officials, his name is Murong Chong, he is also the head of both internal and external schools, for decades, he has never been rivaled.Unexpectedly, tonight in the palace, two assassins were reported in succession. The assassin found in front of the Shenwu Palace, his lightness kung fu surpassed him, and he couldn't catch up with him. Three strokes, sharp swords, he almost stabbed him, and he was still wearing the uniform of the Dongchang guards, it seemed that someone must have been murdered.If you can't capture him, what face do you have to see your colleagues?

Both of them were fearful, and they did not slow down at all. In a short while, they had each attacked ten or twenty moves! Seeing him fighting dumbly, Yue Mingke became suspicious, and shouted in a low voice: "Hey, you are a friend on that line! I'm not a palace guard, don't mistake me!" In Yue Mingke's heart, he thought that he would neither recruit To summon his companions, he might sneak into the palace just like himself.Little do they know that Murong Chong is the head coach of the Dongchang Guards.Martial arts boast of being invincible, but when he first discovered the "assassin", he wanted to capture the leader alone, but he was afraid that other guards would come to share the merit, so he never called. Yue Mingke was suspicious this time, greeted him, was slightly distracted, and his swordsmanship slowed down, Murong Chong rushed in when he saw the gap, and hit Yue Mingke's shoulder with a "Peng" punch. , Reluctantly returned the sword.Murong Chong succeeded with one move, and the attack became more and more fierce!Yue Mingke was hit by a punch, and gradually felt exhausted, and fought for another twenty or thirty strokes, the guards of Qianqing Palace heard the sound and rushed over from afar.Murong Chong was eager to receive the power, hooked his left hand, and issued a soft palm with his right at the same time, Yue Mingke leaned back, and the long sword quickly poked his lower body, with a sound of a whoosh, the wind of the palm brushed past the tip of his nose, Murong Chong jumped up, with a "chi" sound , the trousers were also pierced, Yue Mingke turned sideways with a sword, Murong Chong suddenly yelled, jumped up and left.A person rushed out from the darkness, pulled Yue Mingke, and turned behind the rockery. This person is Cheng Kun. As the squad leader of the imperial guards, he is of course a first-class expert. He hid in the cave and was so bored that he heard the silence outside. He sneaked out and suddenly found Murong Chong searching back and forth. Although his martial arts were slightly inferior to Murong Chong, he was not afraid of him, but at this moment, he was so frightened that he hid behind the rockery.The hiding place is just not far from Yue Mingke's hiding place. Not long after, Yue Mingke rushed out to fight Murong Chong. Cheng Kun had been tortured during the day and wounded Zhu Fu, so he hurriedly adjusted his luck. The bamboo branches were sent out with the best hidden weapon kung fu of "picking leaves and flying flowers, hurting people and killing them".Murong Chong's fight with Yue Mingke was just a tie, suddenly he found that there was an expert waiting secretly, he was afraid that he would be damaged on the spot, even if his companion rushed over, he would already be embarrassed, so he jumped away and left. Cheng Kun dragged Yue Mingke behind the rockery, and said, "Follow me." Turning around several rockeries, he suddenly lifted a big rock, revealing a dark hole in the ground.Cheng Kun and Yue Mingke breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear another commotion outside. Cheng Kun said: "From here you can go directly to the Yuhe River outside the palace, so you don't have to take the risk of going out through Xihuamen." Yue Mingke said: "Does no one know this secret path?" Cheng Kun said: "This secret path was still in the hands of the late emperor It was built during the Eastern Palace. Only five guards knew about it. Once the late emperor died, our group of imperial guards lost power. They may not be willing to work hard for Wei Zhongxian, I guess they may not dare to venture into the tunnel to search." The two went out all the way, and sure enough, nothing happened. No hindrance, no one behind.Soon after hearing the sound of water, Cheng Kun opened the hidden door, and the river flooded in. Yue Mingke wanted to rush out, but Cheng Kun shouted: "Wait!" Turning rapidly, the blades are full of sharp knives. After a while, the turning speed gradually slows down, and after a while, it stops completely. Cheng Kun closed the secret door, and he and Yue Mingke got out from under the knife wheel. After landing, Cheng Kun looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn, and we're so wet that it's hard to walk. Dong Fang's house is nearby. I went to him to change clothes, and I have something to say to Mrs. Dong." Dong Fang is Cheng Kun's deputy, and Dong Fang's wife is also a martial arts figure, and she knows that her husband has never been on good terms with Cheng Kun. When she opened the door and saw Cheng Kun bringing another guard in like two drowned rats, she couldn't help being startled. Cheng Kun said: "Sister-in-law close the door tightly, I have something to tell you." Cheng Kun told about Dong Fang's rescue in danger and being plotted against. Dong Fang's wife knew that Cheng Kun never lied, so she burst into tears and said, "I told him not to be the imperial guard who is trying to make money. I am much more comfortable doing escorts with my father, but he doesn't listen, and now something has happened." Cheng Kun said: "Sister-in-law, please don't cry, although the two of us have never been on good terms, but he sacrificed his life this time." Save me, but I am very grateful, wrap it on my body, and save your husband." Mrs. Dong suppressed her tears, opened her eyes wide, and showed doubts, as if to say: "You can't protect yourself, how can you save yourself?" Can you save my husband?" Cheng Kun said: "Bring a pen and paper, and I'll write a letter for you. After dawn, go to Commander Shi Hao of Jin Yiwei and ask him to deliver the letter to Wei Zhongxian for you. No matter how bold Wei Zhongxian is, he won't dare to kill your husband!" Yue Mingke suddenly realized: "Yes, Brother Cheng is not dead, so Wei Zhongxian would not dare to kill Brother Dong." Dong's sister-in-law has also awakened at this time, Cheng Kun knows that there are too many secrets in the palace, such as Wei Zhongxian and Ke's filthy palace, punishing dissidents and so on, can't hide Cheng Kun's eyes and ears.Moreover, there are many guards in the palace who are Cheng Kun's friends, and Cheng Kun threatened Wei Zhongxian with scruples. Cheng Kun wrote a letter, and Mrs. Dong said: "I have prepared two sets of clothes for you, you can wear them as soon as possible." Cheng Kun and Yue Mingke entered the guest room, closed the door, and took off their wet clothes. Cheng Kun's wet clothes There was a pair of gloves hidden in it, Cheng Kun checked it over and over again, and put it on the table with great care.Yue Mingke lifted the ball of paper written by the emperor and hid it outside the skin. Fortunately, it wasn't soaked, so he hurriedly lit the oil lamp, stuck it to the lampshade, and dried it. After changing his clothes, Cheng Kun suddenly said: "Brother Yue, your martial arts are extremely superb, and my younger brother is far inferior. You saved my life. I have nothing to repay in this life. I hope you will appreciate this pair of gloves." Accept it." Yue Mingke said: "Brother Cheng, where did this come from..." He wanted to decline, but seeing that his resignation was sincere and a pair of gloves were not expensive, he accepted it. Seeing that he put away his gloves, Cheng Kun said: "Brother Yue, these gloves were given by the late emperor. I heard that they are made of golden ape hair and white leather thread from Heilongjiang. They are invulnerable to swords and guns, poisonous and evil. Wear them It's the best way to use it to snatch weapons from people with bare hands!" Yue Mingke shouted: "Why didn't you say it earlier, I dare not accept such an expensive gift!" Taking out the gloves, Cheng Kun said with a smile: "A gentleman!" Hurry up! You promised to accept my small gift, so why go back on your word!" Yue Mingke had no choice but to thank him again, and put the gloves into his bosom. At this time, Dongfang was already white, so Mrs. Dong went out and hired a carriage. After quietly sending Cheng Kun and Yue Mingke away, she also went into the imperial city. Yue Mingke ordered the carriage driver to drive to Yang Lian's home in Bing Ke, Cheng Kun said: "Ah, so you live there, Yang Lian is a good official. Sorry, they don't dare to be too presumptuous." Yue Mingke said: "What?" Cheng Kun said: "Does anyone know that you live in the Yang family?" Yue Mingke said: "I don't know much, and I didn't expect these things to happen when I entered Beijing, so I didn't keep my residence secret." Cheng Kun sighed and posted Looking at Yue Mingke's ears, he whispered: "I'm afraid they already know where you live." Yue Mingke said: "How do you know?" Cheng Kun said: "Before I was imprisoned by Wei Zhongxian the day before yesterday, I heard some Dongchang guards discussing that they wanted to monitor you. The Yang family. I just don't understand why they are like this, it turns out that you live there." Yue Mingke was in a hurry, and rushed to Yang's house, it was already dawn, Cheng Kun peeked outside, saw no one he knew, got out of the car with Yue Mingke, suddenly saw the door of Yang's house opened, and the family shouted: "Master Yue is back!" Yue Mingke and Cheng Kun walked up to the middle hall, only to see Yang Lian sitting in the middle, shouting: "It's the wrong way!" Yue Mingke anxiously asked what was the matter.Yang Lian said: "As a member of the military department, I didn't expect the robbers to attack me." Yue Mingke said: "What did you lose?" Yang Lian said: "There is nothing lost. The robbers only took some antiques, but you That companion was snatched away by thieves." When Yue Mingke heard that, his soul was blown away, although he and Tie Shanshan were not quite in the same spirit, they walked together like brother and sister.Gathering his mind, he asked, "How many robbers have come?" Yang Lian said, "There are about seven or eight of them, all masked! Your companion came out to fight them, and they were outnumbered, so they were captured." Yue Mingke thought for a moment : This group of robbers must be under Wei Zhongxian's subordinates, but he didn't dare to say so that Yang Lian would not be worried, so he said: "My nephew invites friends from the martial arts to investigate for the old man." Yang Lian said: "There has never been such a rampant bandit in Beijing. , I want to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War and ask them to inform the admiral of the nine gates and ask him what he does. It’s great that you are back, take care of this house for me.” He also ordered the servants to guard the gate closely, angrily, and went there in person The Ministry of War has gone. Yue Mingke and Cheng Kun entered the guest room, Cheng Kun said: "It must be the Dongchang guards who did it. Who is Lingyou and what is his name, I will find out for you." Yue Mingke said: "I will go into the palace and have a big fight with them. Cheng Kun shook his head and said: "No, you made trouble twice, they must be on strict guard. In addition to Murong Chong, I heard that there are two new masters in the palace. Even I only vaguely heard what they said. I don't know their names. In a situation like this, they must be people of high seniority in the Jianghu. If Brother Yue ventures into the palace again, he will be caught in the trap. I still have friends in the palace. After staying for a day or two, After the wind has calmed down, I will secretly inquire for you." Yue Mingke thought about it, so he had no choice but to say, "Then, do you think they will come again? I'm afraid we don't go to him, but he comes to us." Cheng Kun said: "The art of war says that those who are false are real, and those who are real are false. After this incident, they expected that you would not dare to live in the Yang family, but we are here. They have no hatred with Yang Lian, and it seems that they will not come again Besides, if they come, use your and my martial arts to catch one or two of them on the spot, then beat them out desperately, expose this matter, and simply have a fight with him." Yue Mingke said: "Okay, that's it!" In the evening Yang Lian came back and said: "Admiral Jiumen has issued an order to arrest them, and I give them ten days to solve the case." Yue Mingke secretly laughed: "Let Admiral Jiumen handle this case, and it will not be solved in ten years!" Yang Lian paused. He said suddenly, "This incident has made me mad, but fortunately, there is one more piece of good news to tell you." Yue Mingke asked: "What's the good news?" Yang Lian said: "Today I went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and received a letter from Xiong Jinglue, who was sent by Xiong Jinglue on a 800-mile horse, saying that he would arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow, and tell my colleagues in the Ministry of War to know. Said that he would stay in the humble house. This is really a happy event, and he has to come back to take care of the chaos in the court." Yue Mingke knew about Xiong Jinglue's return last night, but now the news is more confirmed, and he is also happy in his heart.Then he said: "Although Xiong Jinglue holds the military power, he is a foreign minister, and I'm afraid he can't control the affairs of the court." Yang Lian said: "In terms of position, although he is not as high as a minister of the Taiwan Pavilion, but he is upright and has a noble sword. Fang Congzhe and Wei Zhongxian are also afraid of him." When it came time for Xiong Tingbi to return, several of Xiong Tingbi's friends, such as Zhou Jiamo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Sun Shenxing, Minister of Rites, and Zou Yuanbiao, the imperial censor, all went to Yang Lian's house to wait.Yang Kun, Minister of the Ministry of War, was also coming, but he could not participate because of the transfer of troops to Shaanxi.Several people waited early in the morning, and when it was past the noon card, they didn't hear the sound of gongs to clear the way, which was strange.Sun Shenxing said: "Could it be that the date has been changed?" Yang Lian said: "Xiong Jinglue will never break his promise." Before the words were finished, the housekeeper came to report: "There are two big men outside who want to see the master. I asked his name, and he said yes The surname is Xiong, I'm afraid it's Xiong Jinglue's family, can the master see him?" Yang Lian "Ah!" stood up and said: "Please invite him in! This must be the old Xiong, I know his temper!" After a while, a big man with a tiger's head and eagle head stepped up the steps, with a dusty face, and a follower behind him, carrying a bundle. All the officials stood up one after another, and shouted: "Xiong Jinglue, why didn't you notify in advance!" Unexpectedly Holding a military talisman in his hand, this prestigious general came to the capital from the border with only one entourage. Xiong Tingbi laughed and said: "Didn't I send someone to deliver the letter the day before yesterday? How can I say that I didn't report it?" The "notification" that the officials referred to was not the case, so he had to laugh and said: "You come like this, really like a person who just came from the battle. I am a retired soldier." Xiong Tingbi laughed and said, "I am a soldier in the first place." Yue Mingke also rushed out to see him, and Xiong Tingbi said, "You live here too, that's great! Let's talk about it tonight." His entourage introduces everyone.The name of this attendant is Wang Zan, he is a famous martial arts master, Sun Moon Wheel Qiu Taixu's disciple, and he has known Yue Mingke for a long time.Yue Mingke said: "Did you encounter any trouble on the way?" Wang Zan said with a smile: "I met two or three strong men on the way, seeing that we only have this little luggage, so we left without even looking at it." Yue Mingke laughed: "Then it is considered their creation." All the officials surrounded Xiong Tingbi and couldn't wait to tell the messy things in the court.Xiong Tingbi listened silently, shaking his head from time to time.All the officials were talking happily, when suddenly they heard loud yelling from outside, the steward's report: "The imperial envoy has arrived!" All the officials avoided, Xiong Tingbi and Yue Mingke also retreated into the wing room, Yang Lian stood in the middle hall.After a while, the gate opened, and an official in python robe and jade belt came up to the hall with dozens of school captains.Yang Lian hurriedly knelt down to receive the decree, and the imperial envoy said: "It's none of your business, call Xiong Tingbi out!" Xiong Tingbi smiled at Yue Mingke, "Eh, just as I arrived on the front foot, they came on the back foot. Very shrewd! The timing is so accurate!" As he spoke, he adjusted his clothes casually and walked out of the hall, when the imperial envoy suddenly shouted: "Xiong Tingbi knelt down to receive the order!" Xiong Tingbi knelt down to receive the decree, only to hear the imperial envoy read out: "The sinful minister Xiong Tingbi ruled arbitrarily, sent troops to disturb the people, patrolled the border for many years, and made no progress. Now he left his post without authorization and returned to Beijing privately. Order to return Shangfang's sword and go to Dali Mansion for interrogation." After the imperial envoy read it, he shouted, "I'm bound!" Xiong Tingbi was so angry that he shouted, "I was called back by the late emperor, what's my crime?" The imperial envoy shouted: "Don't you hear that thunder, rain, and dew are all God's grace? How dare you roar about the imperial decree today? This is a serious crime!" Xiong Tingbi said angrily: "Your Majesty is young, and the government is controlled by treacherous officials and thieves, that's all. , That's all!" He bound his hands.Xiong Tingbi thought this was really an imperial decree, so although he was filled with anger, he did not dare to disobey it. Yang Lian stood aside, stunned.The captain was rushing up to restrain him, when Yue Mingke suddenly jumped out of the side room, his tongue burst into thunder, and he shouted: "Wait!" The imperial envoy reprimanded: "Who are you!" The captain who came up jumped three feet away and fell down the steps.The imperial envoy yelled: "Bai Sun Qing Tian, ​​you dare to rebel!" Xiong Tingbi increased his anger, and sternly reprimanded: "Yue Mingke, do you want to frame me?" With tears in his eyes, Yue Mingke said urgently: "Commander, this edict is fake!" Xiong Tingbi was shocked, and said: "Fake?" The imperial envoy reprimanded: "Nonsense!"Xiong Tingbi pulled out Shangfang's sword quickly, and shouted: "Wait a minute, I will go with you after I figure it out!"Yue Mingke took out a ball of paper from his bosom, spread it out, spread it on the palm of his hand, and called Yang Lian, "Master Yang, come and see, is this the handwriting of the current Holy Majesty?" Whenever the emperor ascended the throne, there was always an imperial edict distributed to various ministries to comfort the officials.Yang Lian looked at it, and saw that the big characters "Xiong Tingbi is a loyal minister" were written all over the paper. There were as many as seven or eight lines crookedly written in the school's handwriting.With a strong heart, he didn't have time to ask Yue Mingke where he got it from, he said happily: "Master Xiong, this is the handwriting of the current emperor!" He shouted: "My lords, come out, let's all have a look!" This imperial envoy was Cui Chengxiu, Wei Zhongxian's treacherous party member. At this time, he panicked, forced himself to be calm, and shouted loudly: "How can there be a fake imperial decree?" He unfolded the imperial edict, revealing the emperor's jade seal. Yuxi is real.Yue Mingke said anxiously: "The traitor is in power and has stolen the imperial seal. The commander-in-chief will go up to the court to argue with him." Xiong Tingbi sneered and said, "Cui Chengxiu, you and I will go to court in person!" All the officials said: "We will go with you!" Said: "Needless to say, I will go to court with you!" Cui Chengxiu had an idea, and said: "The Holy Majesty is in the palace to guard his filial piety. If you want to go to court, go tomorrow morning." Then he pretended to shout: "Yang Lian, Xiong Tingbi handed you over to guard, if he doesn't see you tomorrow, you're the only one to ask!" Leading the captain to retreat, Xiong Tingbi secretly thought that Cui Chengxiu would never escape, and since he is a foreign minister, it is inconvenient to detain them here.So he stopped Yue Mingke and told them to quit, the senior officials were so angry that they couldn't speak! Xiong Tingbi sat down slumped, sighed, shook his head and said: "Even if this imperial decree is false, the treacherous party in the court is so rampant, the state affairs can no longer be done!" All the officials comforted them one after another.Yang Lian said: "Brother Xiong has traveled a long way back to Beijing, don't let these traitors lose your pride, let's drink!" While talking, suddenly heard loud shouts outside, knocking on the door loudly, Yang Lian said angrily: "Cui Chengxiu Dare to come back!" Before he had finished speaking, the door was slammed open, and a group of people rushed in, all of them covered their faces with black cloth, leaving only their faces and eyes.The leader shouted loudly: "I heard that Marshal Xiong is back, we need to borrow some silver taels!" Xiong Tingbi laughed wildly and said, "I have nothing to worry about, how can I get any silver taels!" "Yue Mingke said: "These people are not ordinary robbers!" Dozens of robbers surrounded him one after another. Xiong Tingbi pushed Yang Lian into the room, and the leader of the robbers grabbed him with one hand. With a slanted figure, Xiong Tingbi yelled: "Would it be a pity for you to be a robber with such skills?" Yue Mingke slashed his sword sideways, and then shouted: "Murong Chong, do you want to die?" The robber snapped Yijiu, after a while, Xiong Tingbi said: "Ming Ke, do you recognize him?" Seeing that he had been spotted, Murong Chong yelled, "Kill them!" Dozens of masters from Dongchang rushed over and took Xiong. Yue and Yue were forced to the base of the wall! It turned out that Wei Zhongxian and Hakka were planning to correct the imperial decree and pretend to be a robber, trying to hide it from the emperor and get rid of Xiong Tingbi.Wang Zan swung the five-element wheel and rushed out of the room. A guard whipped it down and twisted the five-element wheel for him.Suddenly, an old man rushed out from among the guards, his palms were swift and powerful, shaking the five-element wheel unexpectedly, Yue Mingke leaned against the wall, and stabbed out with a sword, the old man's heels half-spinned, and with his left palm he made a "thunder strike" , embracing his head and chopping down, he could see clearly in broad daylight, his palms were as red as cinnabar, Yue Mingke shouted: "Old monster Jin, you are here too!" , I must avenge you with the sword!" Yue Mingke said: "Commander, this old thief is practicing poisonous sand palm, don't let him touch it!" Moving the sword like the wind, blocking Xiong Tingbi, Murong Chong and Jin Du Attack from left to right!Yue Mingke was very dangerous. Xiong Tingbi opened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Mouse dare you!" Suddenly, with supernatural power, he grabbed a guard who was approaching him with one hand and threw him out the door!The guards were startled, Murong Chong shouted: "Don't be afraid of him!" He used his big grabbing skills to snatch Xiong Tingbi's sword!Although Xiong Tingbi was strong against Wanfu, he was not good at capturing and attacking. He was almost murdered by Murong Chong. Wang Zan fought desperately, but he couldn't resist! Being nervous, a person from the room rushed out again and shouted: "All brothers, listen to me!" This person was Cheng Kun, the guard of the East Factory, everyone recognized him, and half of them stopped when they called him.Cheng Kun shouted: "Xiong Jinglue is the pillar of the imperial court, holding the sky with both hands, how can you be so mad and murder him! Although Wei Xie is in power now, he will not end well in the future, brothers, let's leave!" Several guards suddenly shouted Cry, unarm and flee!Murong Chong hastily shouted: "Cheng Kun is already a traitor, whoever dares to listen to him will be punished with death!" Nineteen of the specially selected guards are Wei Zhongxian's confidantes, after hearing this, all but a few people abandoned their weapons and fled In addition, others besieged again. Yue Mingke stood in front of Xiong Tingbi, Cheng Kun and Wang Zan, one on the right and one on the left, stuck against the wall, fighting desperately.Fortunately, the dozens of guards, although forced by Wei Zhongxian and Murong Chong's situation, did not dare to abscond, but half of them were just pretending to attack and refused to contribute.But even so, Murong Chong and Jin Duyi's martial arts are really high-strength, only these two have made it difficult for Yue Mingke and the other three to deal with, not to mention there are other guards besieging them.After fighting for a while, Cheng Kun was hit on the shoulder, and Xiong Tingbi was also hit on the left arm.Yue Mingke's pupils breathed fire, and he swung his sword to fight to the death.Suddenly, the guards on the outer floor screamed, and an old man shouted loudly: "Old monster Jin, I found you this time!" Jin Duyi shouted: "Brother Hao Xian, take ten tricks from him!" Amidst the shouting, giggles were heard again, very crisp, and he laughed and said, "And me! Old monster Jin, it's our first time meeting, won't you give me a favor?" Closing his eyes, he saw Yu Luocha holding a long sword in his hand, emitting a strange light, and came in from the crowd. In a flash, he stabbed seven or eight guards, and killed them all the way to the core!Murong Chong was furious, he hooked with his backhand, Yu Luocha threw his sword into the air, almost hit him!The sword's edge trembled, turning left and right, and Murong Chong was almost stabbed by her, the two changed their moves, each was surprised!Yu Luocha, in order to face the enemy, smiled and said: "This is not good!" With a backhand sword, he stabbed a guard, lowered his head and avoided Murong Chong's palm, turned around, turned to Yue Mingke's side, and imitated it. Watch him fight against the wall.Yue Mingke rejoiced and said: "Practicing female hero, come and protect the commander!" Yu Luocha said coldly: "I don't care what kind of commander you are, I only want the sword manual!" Suddenly he jumped out and stabbed at Jin Duyi with his sword. go!Jin Duyi slapped fiercely, and the wind reached his chest. Yu Luocha was forced to take a step back, turned the blade of the sword, led the defense and attacked, and said with a charming smile: "Well, it's really good! It's just that I don't deserve my sword yet. Spectrum!" With two strange moves sideways, Jin Duyi was also forced to take two steps back. Yue Mingke shouted: "Nv Xia, your sword manual is on me, I thank you in advance for your hard work today!" Yu Luocha said: "I don't accept your favor, and I don't do it for you." Having said that, the sword moves in her hands are vicious and venomous, without slowing down at all.Yue Mingke glanced sideways in his busy schedule, and suddenly saw the precious sword in Yu Luosha's hand, which looked like his own Dragon Sword, very strange, but in the midst of the siege, he had no time to identify it carefully! During the fierce battle, the guards on the outer layer suddenly shouted again, and someone shouted: "Brother Jin, you are tough!" Jin Duyi responded: "I know, divide half to surround her!" Yu Luocha laughed Said: "Daddy, come in here! Old monster Jin is here!" An old voice outside shouted: "Okay! Yuwaer!" Suddenly I saw a few guards flying in the air, it turned out that they were used by the old man The stele thrower grabbed it and threw it out the door!After a while, the old man rushed in while beating, Yue Mingke didn't know that this person was the Iron Flying Dragon who shocked the Northwest, seeing such momentum, he was very surprised and thought: This female devil really has great powers, she actually recognized such a father . When Tie Feilong and Yu Luosha came, Yue Mingke's strength increased greatly, but the enemy's strength increased even more!It turned out that half of those guards didn't want to frame Xiong Tingbi at first, but when Tie Feilong and Yu Luosha came, their attacks were extremely vicious, and they unknowingly aroused public indignation! Those guards who were unwilling to contribute at first, saw that their companions were stabbed by Yu Luocha all over the place, and each sword hit either the key joints or the acupuncture points, they cried out in pain, it was unbearable to hear.那些被铁飞龙摔死打伤的，更是脑浆迸流。卫士们大怒，纷纷围攻玉罗刹铁飞龙二人，熊廷弼这边，反而减了压力。 玉罗刹剑法虽高，可是须配以轻功，才相得益彰。在围攻中轻功使不出来，威力减了一半，幸好铁飞龙下盘功夫极稳，掌力雄劲异常，剑掌相连，这才抵挡得住。 岳鸣珂见形势略稳，但危机仍未消逝，而且又怕东厂增援，心中仍然着急。玉罗刹唰唰两剑，把逼近身前的一名卫土刺伤，笑道：“岳鸣珂，你的好朋友呢？”岳鸣珂心念一动，应道：“就来！”腾出左手，取了成坤所赠的手套带上，突然冲了出去！金独异大喝一声：“那里走！”呼的一掌横扫过去，岳鸣珂突然伸出左掌一接，右手剑闪电惊飙，“喀”的一剑将他胫骨刺穿。左掌借他的掌力，腾身飞起，竟然从众卫士头上，飞越过去！ 按说金独异武功绝不在岳鸣珂之下，如何会吃此大亏？原来金独异自恃掌有剧毒，岳鸣珂从不敢硬接，所以便松了戒备。哪知岳鸣珂带了金丝手套，不怕毒伤，竟然用了一记绝快的招数和他抢攻，一招得手便即逃出！ 熊廷弼见岳鸣珂临危逃走，不觉大奇。王赞说道：“患难见人心，果然不错！”熊廷弼道：“岳鸣珂想是另有作为，你不要胡乱猜疑！”宝剑展开，寒光挥霍！金独异受了剑伤，功力大减，慕容冲虽然武艺高强，但熊廷弼神勇过人，又有王赞成坤两名高手掩护，而且其他的卫士又不肯攻他，所以虽然不能突围，倒也能暂安无事。 再说白石道人被人威吓，大为愤怒，召集了京中的武当派弟子十多人，更加上柳西铭约来的高手十多人，济济一堂，准备与敌人决一雌雄。候了两天，敌人踪影不见。这日已是最后日期，心情份外紧张，众人集在柳家，从早上守到下午，仍然不见敌踪。柳西铭道：“武当派声威盖世，有什么人敢轻捋虎须。”白石道人甚为得意，笑道：“过了今日，我可不等他了。”正谈笑间，忽有武当弟子报道：“有人来！”柳西铭问道：“有多少？”把风的弟子报道：“只是一人！”柳西铭奇道：“这样大胆，把门打开，让他进来！”片刻之后，一人满头大汗冲进，众人纷纷起立，准备迎敌。卓一航叫道：“啊，原来是岳大哥！”白石道人松了口气，以为他是得了讯息，赶来助拳的。冷冷说道：“岳英雄，不必有劳大驾！”岳鸣珂笑了一笑，走上前去与卓一航拉手，突然拼指在卓一航腰间一戳，点了他的软哑穴，一转身将他背起，飞一般的冲出门去。满堂高手，骤出不意，全都愕然。exactly: 欲知后事如何，请看下回分解。
