As the sun grew, the lead clouds covered the sky like a thin layer of cotton wool, and the climate began to warm up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the palace of the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong looked at the group of civil and military officials in front of him with a blue face. One night, Zhao Kuangyin didn't have any news, even his third brother Ling Tianyun didn't have any news. But what he got was a series of bad news, the guards at the post station last night were all Khitan spies during the change of guard, fortunately there were no casualties in the post station, and several Khitan assassins were captured in the post station. In an unknown alley, dozens of Khitan assassins were strewn across the streets, and the scene was bloody, and it was unbearable to see.

Lord Liao, who was the number one in the imperial capital of Jingzhao Mansion, was frightened, and the stakes were so important that he had to enter the palace to face the saint. And the new emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair was even more furious, and directly smashed the fold on the desk and smashed it at the ministers. Tianwei is inviolable, the Son of Heaven is angry, and the corpse is thousands of miles away, and although the newly enthroned emperor did not kill a chicken to show the monkey, the angry sky-like aura also makes people tremble.

"Immediately send a decree to close the imperial capital, and postpone the departure of envoys from various countries. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out those Khitan spies, and the widow doesn't believe that those Khitan spies can go to heaven and earth. Chai Rong roared, ignoring the trembling ministers, and directly issued an order.

The rivers and lakes are all about the rivers and lakes, but this is related to the majesty of the national body, and one after another holy decrees have been passed down, and suddenly, there is a depressing atmosphere in the imperial capital. Even the gentle spring breeze could not expel the cold and oppression that shrouded the imperial capital. The whole city is on alert, and all the people are soldiers, this is the situation in the imperial capital at this time.

After the court meeting, Chai Rong returned to the Cide Palace, and the news of the two people he was most concerned about had not yet arrived, and he had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart. The shadow-like eunuch behind him stood aside, his face without any expression, just the dust in his hand swaying from time to time.

"Send a few more shadow guards out and make sure you find them. There is also a close monitoring of the whereabouts of Wan Yan Invincible and others, the widow will not believe it, what kind of waves can you make in the imperial capital. Chai Rong didn't look back, the supreme majesty was majestic, he stared at the folds on the table in a daze, and couldn't help but be alone. The shadow-like eunuch behind him bowed slightly, and his figure quickly dissolved into the black shadow, and soon disappeared from this hall.

Ye Yinfeng didn't expect that he would sleep so soundly, if it wasn't for Li Xiaoyao waking him up, he might still continue to sleep. Walking out of the humble room, he saw Ling Tianyun's bloodshot eyes sitting alone on a big rock, while the peerless swordsman dressed in white like snow was standing under a tree with his sword in his hand and meditating.

"I want to think about your story last night, do you say that the monk fell into hell or the butcher fell into hell, why I can't figure it out. Whoever goes to hell is likely, and whoever goes to heaven is likely. As soon as Ling Tianyun saw Ye Yinfeng, his first sentence was the story that Ye Yinfeng told the bad monk last night.

"Is there a difference between who goes to heaven and who goes to hell, what matters is what you think. Even if the monk ascends to heaven, what if the butcher goes to hell. In your heart, what hell is, what heaven is, you know what. The Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell should have a greater chance of the monk going to hell. ”

Ye Yinfeng explained to Ling Tianyun that there was no profound philosophy in this, but everyone's position on the problem was different. And the heaven and hell in everyone's heart are different, some people think that hell is heaven, and some people think that heaven is hell.

At this moment, the radiant scholar walked out of the house, and as soon as Ling Tianyun saw him come out, he immediately greeted him, and his eyes covered with red silk flashed with eagerness. "Mr. Feng, how is my second brother doing now? Is the injury serious, do you have any worries about your life? He asked the other party urgently.

"Ling Gongzi, please rest assured, General Zhao's auspicious appearance is no longer a big problem, but the secret weapon that hurt him is really weird. Feng was lonely and couldn't tell where it came from, and General Zhao's wound still had a trace of gunpowder, and it seemed that the situation was from the Tang Sect in Sichuan, but it wasn't like it. Wind Lovers is carefully examining his wounds, and Wind Hero is well-informed, so he should be able to find out some clues from it. ”

When Ling Tianyun heard this, the sinking stone in his heart finally fell, he had been worried about Zhao Kuangyin's injury, and after getting Mr. Nafeng's affirmation, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Regarding Zhao Kuangyin's wound that almost killed him, he didn't have any clues, let alone see any clues from it.

Li Xiaoyao seemed to have an inexplicable fear of this peerless swordsman in white like snow, and after waking Ye Yinfeng up, he rushed into the house where Zhao Kuangyin was, and never came out. It seemed that he also wanted to see something from the red-faced man's wounds. It's just that he pretended to be like it for a while, and he still touched the back of his head, and he couldn't see anything at all.

Feng Liandao and Li Xiaoyao exited the room, he looked at Ling Tianyun solemnly, and stopped talking. And Ling Tianyun knew that Zhao Kuangyin had escaped safely, and his mood also improved. He hugged Mr. Feng and the others, bowed down and thanked: "The juniors have thanked you for your help. ”

"Xiaoyun doesn't have to see outside, you can go and see your brother-in-law." Feng Liandao waved his hand and said towards Ling Tianyun.

Ling Tianyun finally saw Zhao Kuangyin regain his steady breathing, and his frighteningly pale face began to improve, gradually recovering his red-pill complexion.

"This is a secret weapon made of gunpowder, which is extremely powerful, and a certain family is not sure that this kind of secret weapon should never appear in this world. But I don't know why this secret weapon appeared in this imperial capital, and the other party attacked General Zhao, if all this was done by the Khitans, then the consequences are very serious. Xiao Yun found General Zhao in the underground stone palace under the tower of the Taishi Mansion, and then Taishi Feng must be seriously suspicious. It's just that the people from the Taishi Mansion went to the empty building, but they didn't know where Taishi Feng was. Everything that happened last night, in addition to the Khitans, there should be a hidden force that conspired with the Khitans to make so many rights and wrongs. ”

Feng Xiaogang analyzed all this, and everyone listened quietly, he shook the feather fan from time to time, and an elegant scholarly atmosphere spontaneously appeared, which made people feel convinced.

"What is the purpose of the Khitans, they won't do it like this without any purpose, right?" Ye Yinfeng asked Feng Xiaogang.

"Presumably, Your Majesty already knows everything that happened last night, and with Your Majesty's temperament, you will definitely be furious, of course, mainly because of the disappearance of his two righteous brothers. Therefore, His Majesty will definitely seal the imperial capital, even the envoys of various countries will not be able to leave the city, and for a period of time, the Khitans and the hidden forces can do a lot of things. The most important thing about sealing the city gate is that the people inside can't get out, and the people outside can't get out, so this imperial capital city has become an isolated city invisibly. The Khitan is a master among the masters, not only the invincible face with the reputation of the world's number one master, but also the two masters of Xiao Yujing and Yelu Wuji. ”

"Don't the Khitans care about their own safety, aren't they all the same who can't escape?" Ling Tianyun said what was in his heart.

"Why did they escape, there are almost hundreds of thousands of households in this imperial capital, and they are the top masters, where can ordinary forbidden troops catch them. Wanyan Invincible has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, although he has an agreement with Feng Daxia not to do anything in the imperial capital, but it is not easy for him to cover up the Khitan elite. And most worryingly, we don't yet know what they're going to do next. ”

"Okay, don't be too pessimistic, Wanyan Invincible and I once had a proposal, that is, to hold a big competition between the Han and the Khitan in the imperial capital. Presumably they were planning this, but we don't know where or when. I only know that the two major ratios this time can only be young geniuses below double ten, if I don't guess wrong, the Khitans should be fighting Yelu Zongheng and Wanyan Zhantian. ”

Feng Liandao told what he knew, and that time in the boudoir of the rain in the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, Wanyan Invincible proposed such an appointment. It's just that Feng Liandao didn't agree at that time, he was dedicated to being a Han, although he was a sword saint in the Central Plains, but he still didn't dare to agree.

"What's the stake?" Ye Yinfeng's eyes flashed with a different color, he didn't expect the Khitan people to be so bold and reckless, and at the same time, he looked at the younger fat Taoist Li Xiaoyao. If Li Xiaoyao comes out, don't say Yelu Zongheng, even the two genius young men of the Khitan Kingdom can't defeat him together.

"There are no bets." Feng Liandao smiled bitterly, how could he not know Ye Yinfeng's thoughts, and he continued: "Xiaoyaozi is not counted. ”

When Li Xiaoyao heard this, he immediately became furious, and he roared in his mouth: "Why, this Dao Ye is even younger than them, why can't you let this Dao Ye participate." ”

Feng Liandao smiled slightly and said, "You know, Wanyan Invincible is not unprepared this time. Moreover, the Khitans are still very well prepared, this time it is just a tentative competition, but they made so many things last night, they must still be secretly carrying out some conspiracy. ”

"Self-consolidated, its sound is difficult to understand. This plan was not conceived by the Khitans, there should be masters behind their backs. If the imperial capital is sealed, then the news from the outside cannot be transmitted to the palace. As far as Feng knows, the Northern Han Kingdom has already sent the prime minister Wang Dezhong to envoy the Khitan, and this time it must be taking advantage of His Majesty's ascension to the throne and the foundation is not stable, and it will be invaded. And this imperial capital is guarded, and even the most urgent information can't come in. Wanyan Invincible still has to play the art of crossing the sky and the sea, which shows that there must be a master among the enemies to help. ”

As soon as Ye Yinfeng heard Feng Xiaogang's words, for some reason, a young man who was also dressed in white appeared in his mind. It's just that the white-clothed young man is smiling like a spring breeze, full of a warm and heart-wrenching temperament. He looked at Li Xiaoyao and found that Li Xiaoyao's face had changed, and he didn't expect Li Xiaoyao to also think of the white-clothed young man Yan Longxing.

The feeling of being an enemy but not an enemy, like a friend or not a friend, suddenly flashed in Ye Yinfeng's mind, if that Yan Longxing was the one who made suggestions with the Khitans, then they would face an even more mysterious and powerful opponent. The young man in white has always given him a flawless feeling of white jade, so perfect that he can't find the slightest fault. Is there such a perfect man in the world, that temperament and appearance, all of them are not the dragons of the dragons.
