The spring cold is expected to be steep and rainy, the warm spring breeze is coming, and the belated spring is beginning to blow over the imperial capital, and the sluggish people are still wrapping themselves tightly, because they feel that in addition to the arrival of this slightly warm spring, there is also a cold atmosphere in the imperial capital that they can not fathom.

After Chai Rong finished going to the court, he waved his hand to let the civil and military officials retreat, and his heart was extremely dignified, Zhao Kuangyin had not entered the palace for the second day since he went back, and there was no news. Sitting in the Hall of Virtue, where the former emperor handled state affairs, his eyes looked out of the wide window to the endless sky.

"The rivers and lakes are in trouble, if all this can't be passed, how can we talk about the emperor's hegemony and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun."

As if whispering and muttering, Chai Rong's eyes condensed a fierce light, and in his hand was a secret document, about everything that had happened in the imperial capital in the past few days. The names of Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng suddenly appeared in it, and looking at those familiar names, Chai Rong's heart swelled with all kinds of feelings.

"Your Majesty, Master Feng asks to see you." A shrill voice came from outside the door,

When Chai Rong heard this, his face sank, he didn't expect that Taishi Feng had not been in the court or on leave for two days, but he came to this Cide Hall alone, but he didn't know what it was. He replied in a deep voice, and asked the eunuch outside the door to invite Taishi Feng in.

However, what he didn't expect was that the old Feng Taishi actually proposed that he was too old to serve the country, and he volunteered to guard the mausoleum for the former emperor Guo. Use the rest of his life to do something for the former emperor Guo Wei, and his eyes did not have the scorching light as before, but instead there was an extremely cloudy old man's gaze.

Seeing this old man, Chai Rong's heart was full of all kinds of contradictions, and seeing this silver-haired old man like the elder of the Four Dynasties, even if he had tens of millions of hatred in his heart, he couldn't mention it. For Taishi Feng, he was disgusted from the bottom of his heart, but he knew that as a patriarch of the Four Dynasties and had served as the Taifu of the Khitan Kingdom, he also knew the bitterness in the heart of this old man. The loss of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is inextricably linked to the old man in front of him. If he only relied on Shi Jingtang alone, he would still not be able to do it, and give the natural barrier Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to the hands of the Khitans, which undoubtedly exposed the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains of Shenzhou to the eyes of the Khitan people.

The old man with a good name on his back was still trembling and kneeling, seeing the rickety back, Chai Rong's heart was like a pinprick, he didn't expect that this evergreen tree of the four dynasties would also grow old one day. And he happened to see the old man's look of relapse.

After pondering for several moments, Chai Rong did not speak, and the long-kneeling Master Feng did not dare to get up. The trembling back is just an old man who is about to die. There was a sword-like light in his eyes, and he wanted to see something from the rickety back, but to Chai Rong's disappointment, he still didn't see anything in the back.

"That's right, Taishi Feng has worked hard, although he is old, he is not at home to recuperate, if the first emperor has knowledge, he will be pleased with the hard work of Taishi."

"The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister just did his duty as a courtier, thank Your Majesty for your permission. If nothing else, the old minister will retire. The old minister can no longer serve His Majesty, which is really the regret of the old minister's life. ”

Looking at the back of Taishi Feng's departure, Chai Rong's heart was like a hundred flavors, he didn't expect that the old minister he had always hated would have today's day. Whether you are in a high position or an ordinary person, you can't escape the erosion of time, people will grow old one day, and only the eternal years and rings are forever invincible. It is no wonder that there are so many martial arts cultivators, exhausting their life's energy, just to break through that shackle and reach the immortal realm.

The post station in the imperial capital was very lively, and the envoys of various countries had begun to pack their luggage, they had already seen the majesty of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and had also established good relations with the Great Zhou Kingdom. In the courtyards of this post station, you can see people coming and going everywhere, and they are the envoys sent by various countries to congratulate the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty on his accession to the throne.

The mission of the Southern Tang Kingdom was in the quiet courtyard of this imperial capital post station, which was a separate courtyard, and it was not small. The envoys shuttled through the courtyard from time to time, packing their luggage, and they were busy. In addition to the six princes, Li Congjia's uncle and nephew, and Ye Yinfeng did not deal with these trivial matters personally, there are two people who don't have to work, these two people are Li Chenglong and Lai Gou'er. The old man who came with Lai Gou'er was not in the inn, and he had to deal with his own personal affairs. And the two most idle are Li Chenglong and Lai Gou'er, they are not incumbent officials, but Ye Yinfeng asked Li Congjia to bring these two out.

After a night, there was still no movement, Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao did not say anything about the Khitans, after all, except for some soldiers and armor to protect the safety of the envoys, the other personnel were all officials visiting the Southern Tang Dynasty, they were all ordinary people, if they knew that the first target of the Khitan people was the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it would inevitably cause an uproar, and it would be even more chaotic.

"You said that Mr. Nafeng was clever, why is there no movement here at all, is it a mistake in his calculation?" The little fat Taoist priest asked Ye Yinfeng as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Regarding these conspiracies and tricks, where did he experience them at a young age, he just relied on his own cultivation to be profound. However, he really has little experience in this kind of confrontation between countries.

"No, Mr. Nafeng is very intelligent, and he shouldn't be wrong. It's just that it's been a night, and there is something wrong with the Khitans. Ye Yinfeng admires Mr. Nafeng's wisdom and intelligence very much, and that kind of temperament with a furrow in his chest was also what he pursued, but he still likes to live a sword life like happiness and revenge, and after many disasters, his mind has already become mature.

"If the Khitans dare to come, they will definitely be told that they will not come back, and they will actually want to fight our idea." The little fat man's face was full of excitement, and he said fiercely, and his chubby cheeks were as red as if they were covered with a layer of red paint. At this moment, he is still a Taoist priest, and he is simply a family that likes to fight.

"Yes, tell me what swordsmanship Zhang Xiaofeng Zhang Daxia taught you, and it is so mysterious that no one else will peek at it. I see, that Xiaofeng is just a wasted name, and the name of the sword god is not more than Er'er. Li Xiaoyao changed the subject, he didn't want to repeat that heavy topic.

In the drizzle, a sword suddenly flashed, and the drizzle was forcibly divided into several sections, and time suddenly stopped. And the flying drizzle seemed to stop, only the sword in his hand divided the falling drizzle into several sections, and the rain did not seem to be connected. That sword gave Ye Yinfeng a lot of shock, that sword was very fast, so fast that he couldn't see the trajectory of the sword clearly, that sword was not only fast, but also condensed with a touch of heaven-shattering momentum, and there was a sky-killing sword intent in the sword momentum.

Ye Yinfeng thought of that figure again, with a frost-like temperament, the sword momentum is the bone, and the sword intent is the soul, this is a real swordsman. He thought of what the peerless swordsman had said, which gave him a new understanding of the way of the sword. He began to think that as long as he had profound internal strength and high-level cultivation, and then added some superb sword moves and god-like sword styles, he could become a real swordsman.

A sword is a sword, without sword momentum, without sword intent, it is just a scrap copper and iron, this is what Zhang Xiaofeng said. The sword is boneless, the sword is the soul, this sentence is easy to understand, but it is extremely difficult to do, what is the potential, the momentum is not the momentum, it is an invisible thing, what is the sword intent, Ye Yinfeng was completely confused. He didn't know that there were so many philosophies contained in this sword, and he didn't expect that this sword still had so much knowledge. In the end, Zhang Xiaofeng told him that usually, a sword move that can kill people is a good sword move, and a sword move that can win is a good sword move, and the sword momentum is different from the sword intent, it is an invisible and intangible thing, which cannot be seen or touched, but it really exists. Everything has to be comprehended by himself, everyone's kendo understanding is different, and everyone's path is different.

"Actually, he didn't teach me any swordsmanship, he just made a sword at random, that is, in that rain, only one sword came out, and then asked me to comprehend, it's as simple as that." Ye Yinfeng smiled bitterly and explained to Li Xiaoyao that he didn't want to know the mystery, but all this overturned his understanding of the sword, so he also had to digest the teachings of the peerless swordsman.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, you'll understand after a few fights." At this time, Li Xiaoyao was like an elder educating his juniors. He was originally extremely high-ranked, and he was also Ye Yinfeng's senior brother, so it was natural for him to say to Ye Yinfeng in this tone, but his words attracted a lot of rolling eyes from the blue-shirted young man.

"There is no problem with the personnel, all of them have been checked." Li Chenglong and Lai Gou'er came to their side and reported to them. They were fine, but they were sent by Li Xiaoyao to verify all the people in the mission, so as to prevent the Khitan people from mixing into the mission. However, after hearing Li Chenglong's discouragement, Ye Yinfeng's heart was shocked, and an unspeakable crisis suddenly surged out, he didn't know where this crisis came from, and he was still a little uneasy.

"Has the Sixth Prince returned?" Li Xiaoyao asked Li Chenglong, he was still worried about the fat prince Li Congjia, who was so literate and hated martial arts. The sixth prince, King Anding, took a few retinues to visit the missions of other countries, and it was already past noon since he went out in the morning, but he had not yet returned.

"No, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince hasn't come back yet, do you want to urge it." Li Chenglong shook his head and reported to Li Xiaoyao. Although he didn't know what the two people in front of him were worried about, he still took their orders seriously. Lai'er next to him didn't speak, but his flickering gaze seemed to be hiding something, but his actions were suddenly seen by Li Xiaoyao.

"That's right, I heard that there is a beautiful Maiko in the Shu State Mission, who originally wanted to be dedicated to the Great Zhou Emperor, but I don't know why, the Great Zhou Emperor didn't want that Maiko. And today, the missions of various countries are busy preparing for returning home, and the Kingdom of Soxi Shu decided to let the Maiko dance for the delegations of various countries to enjoy, so His Royal Highness the Six Princes also went, in order to see the dance of the Maiko. ”

"Bastard, what time is it now, he's still in the mood to enjoy the dance." Li Xiaoyao was furious when he heard it, and he only knew such news, and stared at Lai Gou'er fiercely. He asked Li Chenglong and the others to go and get Li Congjia back immediately, and the sooner the better.

After the two of them left the courtyard, Ye Yinfeng looked at the senior brother who was younger than himself, and couldn't help laughing. And he hid the sense of crisis in his heart, and he didn't say it. Since Li Congjia was with the envoys of other countries, he was safe for the time being, but the courtyard was suddenly much quieter.

Although the post house in the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was heavily guarded at this time, there were still many people coming in and out, and the personnel were complicated, and it was impossible for the officers and soldiers who guarded the post station to search and interrogate every person who entered and exited. Therefore, a place with more people will be safer, Ye Yinfeng thought of these after a little thought in his heart.

Looking at the angry Li Xiaoyao, Ye Yinfeng knew everything, Li Xiaoyao was not really angry, but skillfully drove Li Chenglong and Lai Gou'er away. Because, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly came, although the people walking in this courtyard were still those people, but those who seemed to be too ordinary to be ordinary gave them a feeling of palpitations.

The two just glanced at each other silently, and they took a thorough look at the people in this courtyard, they didn't expect that several people from the mission sent by the Southern Tang Kingdom had been dropped. In other words, someone used a very clever disguise technique to replace those original people.

There were a few porters and coachmen who came with the mission and slowly came towards the place where Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng were standing, they were all ordinary people, not martial arts cultivators, and even martial artists could not be called martial artists.
