The breeze brings a burst of coolness, and also makes a ripple on the calm West Lake; the tide beats on the shore, making people listen to the song of a green girl, and feel much more relaxed in their hearts; the wicker on the shore swings with the wind, and it is like a curtain that hangs down, covering those smiling and lively girls, and also makes those who play more elegant, and want to explore it.

On the Su Causeway, there is a lively scene.

After all, every time in this autumn season, the boys and girls in Lin'an City will go out of the city and come to this pleasant place to play in autumn.

In the middle of the boat, Meng Hui frowned unconsciously, even though there was a maid stroking the piano in his ears, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"It seems that I am only a martial artist after all, and I can't adapt to this environment. ”

With a wry smile, Meng Heng put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the person in front of him: "Brother Shou Peng, how are you going to deal with the matter of the Xianyang Black Dragon?"

Although he was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and even more so, the deputy envoy of the pacification of western Hubei in Beijing, and enjoyed the right to directly enter the official's house, but according to the practice of the Song Dynasty, he had to go through the permission of the princes of the political hall before he could use the Haotian Divine Arrow to suppress the enemy.

And the person in front of him, Qiao Xingjian, is the important military affairs of Pingzhang in the political hall, and he can also be regarded as Meng Hui's top boss.

Of course, as a member of the Song Dynasty court, Qiao Xingjian himself is also very good, otherwise how can he become a member of the political affairs hall?

I saw Qiao Xingjian shaking his head lightly, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Wu'an layman! As he spoke, he took the pure white wine jug next to him, poured two full glasses of wine slightly, and then handed them to Meng Heng, and then said: "And you have just experienced the war, and you are a little tired compared to your body, it is better to drink a glass of water and wine here, and it can be regarded as me picking up the wind and washing the dust for you." How?" Seeing Meng Heng's face look annoyed, he replied again: "As for the matter of the ancestral dragon, I have already discussed it with the official family, Shi Songzhi and Zheng Qingzhi, but there are still many unknown places that need to be explored, so no consensus has been reached. ”

The wine glass was pushed in front of Meng Heng, and the clear wine overflowed with a little bit of fragrance, which directly entered the brain through the snort, making people salivate.

But in the face of this kind of fine wine, Meng Hui was not half interested, his eyes were still staring at Qiao Xingjian, and he asked: "But time is pressing, if the time is delayed and the ancestral dragon enters the world smoothly, won't we all be sinners through the ages?" Qiao Xianggong, this matter can't be delayed!"

"You!"

Qiao Xingjian saw that Meng Heng had never accepted it, so he had to put down the wine glass, straighten his clothes and complained: "These are just other people's one-sided words, how can you easily believe them?" Seeing that Meng Heng was angry, he began to explain again: "Think about it, the commander of the Chifeng Army is only a woman, and there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, if you don't say it seriously, how can you show her level? Brother Puyu, don't be deceived by that demon girl." ”

"Deceive, are you doubting my vision?" Meng Heng suddenly shouted with anger on his face and his eyes widened.

Qiao Xingjian pursed his lips, revealing an unreasonable look, and said, "It's not that I don't believe your words, it's really that the Red Phoenix Army is too suspicious." That Xiao Feng is just a woman, what ability can she have to survive under the encirclement and suppression of Mongolia? Even what she said was full of loopholes, and she must not be easily believed. Otherwise, it will only be us who will lose at that time! Not to mention that the northerners are cunning, how can you guarantee that she is not the next Li Quan?"

"Shou Peng, you've been here for a long time, and you don't understand a lot of things at all. On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it. You've only seen it in this Lin'an City, how can you be as close to what I've seen with my own eyes? I've fought with that ancestral dragon, and I know quite well about its strength, it's a fierce beast that truly has the power to destroy the world and destroy the world. For such beasts, the only way to annihilate them is to attack while they are weak, otherwise they will have to pay a lot of price if they are to be eliminated in the future. ”

Meng Hui was annoyed, he slapped the table, stood up half of his body and glared angrily, and shouted: "And if you delay like this, then I will go directly to the palace to meet the official family and tell him all about the matter." When the ancestral dragon is resurrected and the world is in turmoil, do you think you can still gain a firm foothold in this court?"

"Alas!"

Qiao Xingjian's eyes flashed with annoyance, and he immediately replied, "Puyu." I know that you are loyal to the country, but it is not easy to open the Haotian Divine Arrow, and at least two or more earth immortals must work together to make it open. Do you think it's worth it to put so much effort into just one dragon?"

Meng Jue asked, "How is it not worth it?"

"General Meng. Qiao Xingjian paused, and replied in a deep voice: "If you really insist on this, then please forgive me for not being able to do it." ”

Meng Heng was angry, swept his sleeves suddenly, and complained: "If that's the case, then I'll go find someone else." As soon as the words fell, he still turned into a retreat, and left from the painting boat, leaving Qiao Xingjian alone to look at the table full of food, sighing that the world is unpredictable.

This matter was not mentioned for the time being, and when he went to court on the second day, he was pulled aside by Shi Songzhi, as if there was some dialogue.

Expecting that there was still some time before the early dynasty, Qiao Xingjian planned to get to know this colleague, so he went to the Tianzhang Pavilion for ministers to rest with the other party, and talked about the past.

Sure enough, just as Qiao Xingjian lifted his robe and sat down, Shi Songzhi asked with a serious face: "Old Qiao, I heard Meng Heng say yesterday that in Xianyang, there was a collapse of Lishan Mountain and the entry of the ancestral dragon into the world before the fifteenth, what do you think about this matter?"

Qiao Xingjian chuckled in his heart, couldn't help but raise his vigilance, and replied: "I also heard about it, saying that it was because Kublai Khan, the second prince of Mongolia, was immoral and forced into the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to steal the treasure in it, but he unexpectedly dispatched the magic circle, not only did he die here, but he even sent out the ancestral dragon." It's just that listening to what Brother Zishen said, could it be that there is something inside?"

"Alas, isn't it because Meng Hui came to visit last night and asked me to make a statement to the official family above the court and kill the ancestral dragon with the Haotian Divine Arrow?" Shi Songzhi shook his head, with a helpless face: "I am the minister of the court, don't I know how important it is to open the Haotian Divine Arrow, so I came here to ask you what your suggestion is!"

Qiao Xingjian nodded thoughtfully, and said secretly in his heart: "It turns out that Meng Heng looked for him again after leaving?" Seeing Shi Song's sincere look, he replied: "It turned out to be this matter." What do you think should be done?"

"In my opinion, this ancestral dragon is a fierce beast, so naturally it should be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the ancestral dragon is resurrected, then even if we can annihilate it, we will have to pay a great price. Shi Song said with enthusiasm on his face: "But according to the practice of the national dynasty, if you want to open the Haotian Divine Arrow, you must have an official family to take action and gather the power of at least two earth immortals before you can exercise the responsibility of representing the Heavenly Righteous Law." So I want to ask you, are you willing to support the opening of the Haotian Divine Arrow?"

Qiao Xingjian looked stunned, looked at Shi Song in surprise, and said in a low voice, "Do you want me to participate?"

"That's right. The official family has always been benevolent and virtuous, and it is expected that they will not refuse this kind of good governance. But it takes two earth immortals to open the Haotian Divine Arrow, and I am a political minister, so it is naturally incumbent on me, but the other Earth Immortal is difficult to choose, I don't know what Mr. wants?" Shi Song looked at Qiao Xingjian with an excited face, and it seemed that he was preparing to attract Qiao Xingjian in, so that he could open the Haotian Divine Arrow together and kill the ancestral dragon!

But Qiao Xingjian shook his head again and again, and said politely: "You don't know my body, now you are close to old age, and you don't pay attention to your life." Such a dangerous thing, how dare you get involved in it and open the Haotian God? . ”

At this year, he was already eighty-eight years old, much older than the Mongolian Yelu Chucai, and at such an age, if it weren't for his profound cultivation, he would have been held on the hospital bed and waiting for death.

But because of his advanced age, he can't get involved in many drastic things, such as the opening of the Haotian Divine Arrow, so he can't participate.

"If that's the case, then maybe I can only find Zheng Qingzhi. Shi Songzhi was a little regretful and muttered to himself.

This sentence was heard clearly by Shi Songzhi at this time, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Zheng Qingzhi, what are you going to do with him?"

"He's also a member of the Earth Immortals. Presumably, for the sake of these sentient beings, they should be able to help each other. Shi Songzhi had a smile on his face and swept over Qiao Xingjian. And Qiao Xingjian was also stunned for a moment, and then sighed and complained: "It seems that Meng Heng really did everything to kill the ancestral dragon." Anger flashed in his eyes, obviously full of annoyance at Meng Hui's assertions, and even more determined that this ** heart was hidden and he had to be cautious.

Shi Songzhi shook his head and said: "Old Qiao, the Wu'an monks are also thinking about the country, how can you say that? Moreover, it is also our duty to kill the ancestral dragon and protect all living beings, how can we give up easily?" Seeing what Qiao Xingjian wanted to say, he raised his head again and looked at the time, and said: "The reason why I will talk to you at this time is to stay in the court, I hope you can help me." If you can have Qiao Lao's help, you should be able to move the official family and kill Zulong!"

"I see!"

Qiao Xingjian's expression was wooden, without the slightest expression, he just threw down a sentence, and then left.

Shi Songzhi smiled lightly, glanced at Qiao Xingjian with contempt in his eyes, and thought in his heart: "Sure enough, according to your blunt head, you will definitely not agree." It's a pity that you've been in this position for too long, and you should move it after all. As for me, when you give way, I can take advantage of the situation and become a member of the political hall with the matter of killing the ancestral dragon. Even if you don't say yes then, you won't be able to!"

Thinking of being happy, he was already excited, and walked out of the Tianzhang Pavilion with his head held high, and came to the vertical arch hall.

At that time, it was already early in the morning, and Zhao Yun, the official of the Song Dynasty, was already sitting on the throne, and the ministers were also on both sides under the guidance of the Yellow Gate Servant. After standing one by one, the eunuch on Zhao Yun's side let out a sharp voice, "Report something early, and retreat from the dynasty if you have nothing!" Although it is a customary word, it is indispensable for the Song Dynasty to pay attention to the code system.

By the time the voice fell, Meng Hui had already stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The minister has something to report!"

"Oh, in the past, due to the increasing urgency of the Mongol invasion, General Fang came forward to protect this great country for me. However, the battle on the front line was unexpected, but the general hurriedly returned to Beijing? Isn't there something important that needs to be reported to me personally?" Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel happy in his heart when he saw Meng Heng standing here, and hurriedly complained.

He ascended the throne at a young age, and has been more than 20 years, the first ten years because of Shi Miyuan's dictatorship, so he could not be involved in political affairs, and only after Shi Miyuan's death did he start regent, and then in order to rejuvenate the country's government, he successively enabled many ministers including Zhao Kui, Meng Hui, Yu Jue, etc., and personally launched hundreds of thousands of troops to the Northern Expedition, and completely destroyed the Song Dynasty's rival Jin Dynasty, and for a time it was also prestigious.

It is precisely for this reason that this young king is quite enthusiastic about Meng Heng and relies on him as a minister of the humerus.

Meng Hui couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when Zhao Yun said this, and felt that everyone in the court was looking at him, and he felt a little nervous, so he leaned over and said: "The little minister can have today, and he can endure His Majesty's appreciation, how dare he slack off? The reason why he returned to Beijing today is for one thing, I don't know if His Majesty is willing to open the Haotian Divine Arrow and kill him!" Speaking of this, his words suddenly became sharp.

Among the ministers, Qiao Xingjian's eyebrows became more and more furrowed, and he looked a little angry.

Without getting his own promise, he reported to the official family in this court, which was obviously not acceptable to him.

But Shi Songzhi showed a hint of a smile, and when he caught a glimpse of Qiao Xingjian's anger, he was even more proud: "You are still old after all! Since you are already old, you should abdicate and make way for Xian, instead of continuing to occupy the position, otherwise you will be suspicious." ”

Zhao Yun didn't notice the expressions of the two important ministers sitting down, but just looked at Meng Hui with a look of surprise and asked, "Haotian Divine Arrow?"

This Haotian Divine Arrow is very powerful, it is a sharp weapon specially created to deal with the earth immortals, as for the ordinary martial artists, it is the martial artists of the Danding Realm, and they only need to send those big internal guards under his command, but now Meng Heng is asking to use the Haotian Divine Arrow, I have to say that the earth immortal is really so powerful?

"Your Majesty. A few days ago, in order to be able to recapture Bianjing, Xiaochen fought fiercely outside Bianjing with the Mongol army. But in the fierce battle, Xiao Chen and the other party mistakenly hit the Genqiu magic circle, and were swallowed by the cave in it, and only after waking up did he find that he was already in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. At that time, Kublai Khan, the second prince of Mongolia, coveted the treasures in the tomb and wanted to do the treasure grabbing, so I had no choice but to stand up and block it, but in the middle of the fight, I accidentally destroyed the twelve gods of Dutian who had sealed the first emperor's law in the past, so that Zulong appeared. In order to be able to annihilate the ancestral dragon, he also asked the official family to take action and punish him with the arrow of the Haotian God!"

Seeing that the ministers were also surprised, Meng Heng slowly told what had happened, and taught people to listen to the process clearly, at least to know what he was for, so that he would leave the garrison without permission and return to Lin'an City.

After Zhao Yun listened, he nodded in a trance, and replied: "If this is the case, it is indeed necessary for the Haotian Divine Arrow to annihilate it." But if I want to annihilate it, I still need the help of two earth immortals, but I don't know if any of the ministers are willing to give it a try?"

But at this moment, Qiao Xingjian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, according to what the old minister said, if you want to use the Haotian Divine Arrow for this fierce beast, you can't!"
