After two days of wedding, all kinds of customs still followed one after another. What are the things that come in, such as rewards, congratulations, and worshiping the house, making everyone confused.
A few days have passed, and finally everything has settled down, and the guests have also left one after another
This Ri Luokai gathered everyone to discuss the pursuit of Yuedu
Luo Kai first told what he learned from Zi Yan Yú, and then said: The Rihuo Cult suddenly returned to Zhongdi, and it is said that it was mainly to re-establish the teachings here. Their other purpose was to find the traitor Yue Du, and Yue Du suddenly lost his trace at this time. It seems that he already knew this and was worried that he would search for the Rihuo Cult, so he hid it. Zi Yan Yú also told me that day that he believed that Yue Du went north to Shuntian, mainly to serve King Yàn, and use this as a shelter.
The strange mother-in-law said: From what the boy surnamed Jiang said, I believe that the incident of Yuedu going north will not be fake. According to my opinion, you should go to Shuntian first to see if you find anything
Luo Kai said: I plan to do this, but from here to Shuntian, the road is thousands of miles away, and I can only arrive day and night, at least ten days and eight days, or half a month. The emperor's banquet for heroes will also expire, and there are only more than twenty days left. If we go back and forth like this, we will definitely not be able to attend the banquet for heroes. So what should we do?
The laughing monk said: Master Luo is right. It is indeed not possible to find Yue Du in a short time. It is better to delay the banquet of heroes and set off north!
Bai Ruixue echoed: It's good, it's really not a fight for this little time. Besides, Yanyingmen already knows the truth, even if they can't catch Yuedu, they won't take their anger on Luo Kai. As long as the heroes have passed the banquet, we will immediately go north and rush to Shuntian to monitor the movements of King Yàn from the side to see if we can find out the news about Yuedu.
After hearing this, Luo Kai felt that this should be done, so he nodded in agreement.
Shangguan Liu said: Speaking of Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly gathering martial arts people from all over the country, and identifying the banquet of heroes, there must be any plans inside. When I see it, I must prevent it from multiple ways.
Bai Ruixue said: The bloody Yàn gate seems to have stopped recently and did not cause trouble in the world. This is a bit worrying. Do you think it will be related to the banquet of heroes, or like the last martial arts conference, there is some murderous intent hidden in it!
The strange mother-in-law glared and said: I'll take a look at the old lady, and see what methods they want to play.
Shangguan Liu pondered for a moment and said: Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been in charge of the Red Turban Army, who had been in opposition to the Yuan Dynasty, was in charge of the sects of the martial arts world at that time, and was deeply aware of the interests of various sects in the martial arts world. This person was extremely suspicious and abolished the position of prime minister, so he knew that he was an autocratic and dictatorial monarch. At that time, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong sent officials to the coast to recruit Japanese pirates. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang used the excuse that he had made a bad plan and killed him. From then on, he abolished the prime minister. The national government affairs were all divided into six ministries, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and work, all under his control.
Dong Yiyixuan said with a eyebrows: As his emperor, he is also the officials of the current dynasty who want to kill and abolish. What does this have to do with our martial arts people?
Shangguan Liu smiled and said: How could it not matter! Do you know why he wanted to try his best to kill the founding heroes. Until now, the main reason for killing all the founding heroes was to consolidate the rule of his descendants, so as not to be taken advantage of by the founding heroes and seize the throne. At this time, the heroes in the court had gone. He was worried about another thing, because he knew the power of martial arts people. If all the gangs and sects in the martial arts world united to rebel, this matter could be big or small, how could he dare to ignore it? Therefore, he secretly established a bloody sect in order to take the martial arts sects for his own use and control it. This time, he actually held a banquet for heroes. What kind of heart would he have!
Dong Yiyi said: Since this is the case, it’s better that the heroes will not go to the banquet.
The mother-in-law scolded: What are you talking about? How can we people in the world treat what we said as fart? Since we have agreed to go to the appointment, we must not retreat even if we are in the sea of swords and fire. Dong Yiyi stretched her tongue and suddenly said nothing.
Luo Kai said: From a clear perspective, Zhu Yuanzhang's move is indeed suspicious, but if it is said that there will be too great danger, I don't think it will be.
Bai Ruixue asked: Could it be that you have seen something?
Luo Kai said: You might as well think carefully. Zhu Bai still believes that he will be afraid of us after taking ambergris pills and dare not attack us rashly, but he still sent someone to send the invitation. A few days ago, he saw him as if nothing had happened, and he was talking and laughing with me. He also said that on the day of the banquet of heroes, he had prepared a VIP seat for me, so I must come early. If there is any danger in the banquet of heroes, it is hard to guarantee that I will not recognize others and will not give him antidote. In the end, the victim will be himself. How can Zhu Bai and his sister know
After hearing this, everyone felt something was right
However, the laughing monk smiled and said: I am afraid that the prince is not malicious to the owner of the manor and treats him as a guest of honor, but secretly uses poison to other sects. Isn’t that bad
Shangguan Liu nodded and said: Will there be any secret schemes for the heroes that day? After all, it is too early to say it, but you must be careful of others and you must never slackewer. Before the plot of those hawks and dogs, I met a friend in the world. I am currently the Qianhu, the Jinyiwei in Beijing. I will leave for the capital early tomorrow morning to see if I can find some clues from him.
Shi Tongming said: Brother Shangguan is a friend from the official school, and he is willing to reveal any information. It seems that Brother Shangguan should not have too much hope.
Shangguan Liu said: Although I have known this friend for a long time, I have saved him. With this connection, it may be helpful.
As soon as Shangguan Liu Fang finished speaking, a martial artist who protected the village quickly walked into the hall, rushed straight to Luo Kai, and bowed and said: Report to the owner of the village, someone in the Purple Palace asked for a meeting.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Luo Kai said: Please! As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but think of the scene with Zi Yan Yú that day, and thought to himself: Could it be that she invited me to her residence again? Since I am a husband, how can I do so recklessly again? How can I be worthy of my four beautiful wives?
Before Luo Kai's longing could be changed, he saw the martial artist leading a girl in. Luo Kai had already recognized it at a glance. It was Xiaoyu, the maid next to Zi Yan, who was next to him.
I saw Xiaoyu with a quick look on his face, and glanced at the people in the hall, then came to Luo Kai and said anxiously: Xiaoyu has met the Lord of Luo Zhuang
Seeing that her expression was strange, Luo Kai immediately asked: No need to be polite, will the palace lord send you here?
Xiaoyu shook her head and said: It’s not that the palace master called the little maid, it’s... it’s Xiaoyu who asked the owner Luo for something, and I hope the owner can lend a helping hand and rush to help our palace master.
Luo Kai first saw her coming in, and knew something was wrong. At first glance, he was shocked and asked quickly: Could it be that something happened to your palace master? Don't be impatient, tell the matter slowly.
Xiaoyu said urgently: Because the palace master was pursuing the whereabouts of Yuedu, he sent King Feng Ling and King Turtle Spirit, and led more than ten masters from the same palace to visit the Rihuo Sect at night... King Feng Ling was killed, King Turtle Spirit was captured, and only three of the masters who were traveling with injuries came back with injuries. The palace master immediately brought King Dragon Spirit and King Lin Ling to save the people. The maid... The maid was really worried... So...
Dong Yiyi raised her mouth and interrupted: So come to find my brother Luo Kai’s helper, right?
The more Luo Kai listened, the more his heart beat harder. When he saw Xiaoyu's worrying look, an ominous sign suddenly surged into his heart. Hearing Dong Yiyi's words, he immediately stopped her from talking, then lowered his head and pondered, muttering: King Feng Ling's martial arts is extremely strong, he is already a first-class master. With his skills, he actually died in the hands of the enemy. The martial arts of the Rihuo Sect should not be underestimated!
Xiaoyu said: It's Ah! I heard from the palace master that the four spirit kings are the guardians in the palace and are already the top players in the palace. But I don't know that they are not their opponents! Although the palace master's martial arts are higher than the four spirit kings, the little maid is always worried about the safety of the palace master. The more I think about it, I become more and more shocked, so I have to bite the bullet and beg Master Luo, hoping that the owner of the mansion can... to lend a helping hand...
Luo Kai said: Don't worry, the palace master was in trouble in order to help Luo investigate Yuedu, causing trouble to King Fengling. How could Luo stand idly by this matter? It is said that the Rihuo Sect has joined the court. You might as well rush to the Xiang Prince's Mansion to inform the prince now, and leave the matter to me. Do you know where the Rihuo Sect is?
Xiaoyu nodded and said: I heard that it was near Bao'en Temple in Beijing. The location was indeed, so I didn't know.
Shangguan Liudao: Baoen Temple is located in Jubaomen, the outer city, and together with Linggu Temple and Tianjie Temple, it is called the three major temples in the capital, and the buildings are densely located near Baoen Temple. It is believed that it is very difficult to find out the location of the Rihuo Sect.
Luo Kai said: Now I have to rush to Bao'en Temple to see it. It's half a day away from the capital. Saving people is like putting out a fire. I can't delay any more. Now I set off. After saying that, I summoned two martial artists to come in and escort Xiaoyu to the Xiangwang Mansion and informed Xiangwang Zhu Bai.
After Xiaoyu left, Bai Wanting immediately said: Brother Luo Kai, I want to go too. Then Dong Yiyi and the sisters of the Fang family also asked in unison.
Luo Kai frowned and said loudly: The enemy is very tough this time, and there is a very likely battle. You all stay for me, and no one can follow me.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Luo Kai was so stern, he just didn't want the four brides to take risks.
The rest of the people in the hall also knew that Luo Kai would be very dangerous when he was single this time, so he couldn't help but go with Luo Kai in unison.
Luo Kai said: Although the enemy is powerful, Luo Kai is not afraid of them like this. This time, I will go with you monk Xiao, Shangguan Liu and the others to accompany me...
He still didn't finish his words, and the blamed mother-in-law immediately cursed: Luo Kai, do you look down on the old woman? You have not been married for a while. If there are any problems, what should you do if you call them four? Although I am a little older, I have to deal with these ghosts and monsters, so I won't remove my old bones for them.
Luo Kai heard the strange mother-in-law say this, but he couldn't speak for a moment
Since his parents died, he was lonely for half his life. Since he met his strange mother-in-law, he has long regarded her as a relative and elder. How could Luo Kai let her take risks?
But he knew that he was so weird that he didn't dare to disobey her at all. At this time, Luo Kai really agreed or not, and he didn't agree or not. He was in a difficult situation.
Bai Ruixue has always been careful and understands the scenery of Luo Kai best. He said: Grandma Qiu, how can you go to Ah? If even Grandma Qiu go with you, who can defend Lingyun Village if there is any trouble? If the King of Xiang uses the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain and takes advantage of the situation and sneak attacks Lingyun Village, how can you tell me then?
When Luo Kai heard Bai Ruixue's words, he knew that she was deliberately helping her to help her. He was grateful and quickly said: That's right, Lingyun Village is in an extraordinary period now, how can we take it lightly? If you don't have a mother-in-law here, how can you feel at ease in teaching Luo Kai?
The strange mother-in-law glared at everyone, but saw everyone's eyes looking at her, and couldn't help but sigh: OK, you are angry together, don't want me to go, what else can the old lady say! But Luo Kai, you must be careful in everything. Although you know that there are mountains outside the mountain, you can run away if you can't fight. You must not bother you. You must know that today is different from the past. There are four more beautiful wives around you, so don't worry about you. Although the strange mother-in-law is weird, her inner care is completely revealed in her words.
Luo Kai was so grateful that he had no answer.
Shui Qiuyue came to him with her beloved son and said: Luo Kai, you are kind and kind. If you fight against the enemy, you will inevitably suffer a great loss! You must change your personality after the fight. There are sinister things in the world, either you die or I die. If you only need to be soft-hearted and kind, you may kill you. You must remember this in the future if you meet a cruel and ruthless evil person, don’t show mercy. Do you know?
Fang Qingyun stood up and said: Let's get off now, I'll go with you.
Before Luo Kai could react, he heard the strange mother-in-law saying: My family has rich experience in the world. If you go with me, I will be more at ease with you.
Fang Qingyun couldn't help but say a few polite words when he heard this.
Luo Kai was used to the point of saying this, and he was inconvenient to object. At that moment, the four of them ordered the martial artist to prepare horses, and left the village and gallop northward.
In the early Ming Dynasty, two capitals and one capital was established, namely Yingtian Prefecture was Nanjing, Kaifeng Prefecture was Beijing, and Fengyang Prefecture was Zhongdu.
It was not until the eleventh year of Hongwu that Beijing was abandoned and Nanjing was officially renamed the Beijing Division.
The capital is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, surrounded by water and mountains, showing the momentum of dragons and tigers.
The entire capital was divided into four floors: palace city, imperial city, capital city, outer city, and generalized as capital city at that time.
This city project is huge and a lot of manpower and material resources are invested. When it was built, the manpower of the Ministry of Works, Henghaiwei, Baotaowei, Feixiongwei, twenty-eight prefectures, and one hundred and eighty counties and three other towns were used.
The city walls of the capital are made of bricks and stones. They are built on Qinhuai in the south, Xuanwu Lake in the north, Zhongshan in the east, and stones in the west. They are 67 miles long. They are not only the longest capital in China in history, but also the world's first.
(Note: Beijing's inner and outer cities are 60 miles long, and Paris's palace city is 59 miles long)
Luo Kai and the other four rushed to the road. When they arrived at the capital, they had already passed the afternoon. All the eighteen gates in the outer city were closed.
From a distance, I saw that the city wall was five feet high, and the scepters on the city wall were often seen walking back and forth. Obviously, there were not many people. If I wanted to climb into the city secretly, it would be difficult to prevent the defenders from discovering it.
Luo Kai was hesitating and laughing monk said: It seems that you can't enter the city tonight. Why not find a place nearby and take a rest for a night, and enter the city early tomorrow morning.
Luo Kai said quickly: After a long time, I am afraid that Miss Zi and others will be in danger! Let's do this, I'll go to the other side to see if there is a gap to enter the city.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that with Luo Kai's skills and his phantom flowing skills, it was easy for him to enter the city alone, but it would be difficult to enter the city safely without being discovered by the defenders!
Shangguan Liu said: Let’s go east to the city, where the city wall is high and the outside of the city is vast. If you look at it for dozens of miles, there will definitely be not many defenders. Why not go there and see how?
Everyone nodded in favor, immediately turned over the horse's head and headed towards the east of the city
When we arrived at the east of the city, as Shangguan Liu said, the terrain here is vast, dozens of feet away from the city, a large river crosses south, and a bridge over several feet wide on the river stands across the river, with a grand atmosphere.
It turns out that this bridge is the well-known Jiangdong Bridge
At that time, the general Zhang Yu, who was under Zhu Yuanzhang, and Chang Yuchun's eldest son Changsheng, led 15,000 troops to cover the wings of Jiangdong Bridge to resist Chen Youliang's 200,000 troops. This happened here.
The four of them dared not ride their horses, for fear that the defenders on the city discovered that they had already jumped off their horses, tied under two big trees, slowly rushed under the city wall, raised their heads and looked at the heads of the city. They saw that the city wall was more than ten feet high, and it was really not easy to climb up.
Luo Kai reached out and touched the wall. He saw that the bricks in the city were fine and extremely solid. The gaps were made of lime, tung oil, etc., and were extremely smoothly ground and had no holes to climb. He couldn't help but sigh: The wall was paved smoothly, and the city wall was more than ten feet high. No matter how good the light skills were, it was difficult to climb up. What should I do?
Everyone knew that they had no ability to climb up the city. When they were worried, they suddenly heard the loud noise of the city gate. Luo Kai and the other four were shocked and laughed and said: Could it be that we have discovered it?
Fang Qingyun shook her head and said: I believe it won't be. If the soldiers guarding the city discovered it, how could it be so quiet on the top of the city.
Everyone thought it was reasonable, Luo Kai said: Let's hide it first and see what happened
The four of them didn't talk anymore and lay down in the grass
The grass is not high, so it is not easy to hide people. Fortunately, the night is dark at this time, and it is snowing from time to time these days, and the moonlight has been blocked by dense clouds, so it is really hard to find four people.
Not long after, the rumbling sound passed, and the city gate was half open. As we saw a group of people riding out of the city, under the howling north wind, the black cloaks on those people were blown away.
Luo Kai looked at it without blinking his eyes, and saw that there were hundreds of people in this group, each holding a torch in his hands. With their clothes, he recognized him as the Jinyiwei at first glance.
Look at the actions of these Jinyiwei, they must be rushing to do something important. As soon as they leave the city gate, they will rush up to Jiangdong Bridge and head straight towards the dense forest in front.
After all the people and horses left the city gate, the rumbling sound rang out and the city gate closed again
The four of them jumped up and Shangguan Liu said: These Jinyiwei left the city in the dark night and were in a hurry. What important thing must be there. Then he said to Luo Kai: Do you think it will be related to the Purple Palace Immortal Palace?
Luo Kai pondered for a moment and said: Could it be that Zhu Bo had sent people to Beijing to resolve the dispute after hearing Xiaoyu's news?
The laughing monk said: Whether it is or not, since you can't enter the city now and there is nothing wrong with it, let's go and see what you think?
Fang Qingyun nodded and said: That's right, if their business has nothing to do with us, I'll just turn it back.
Everyone agreed to carry out their light skills, fly back to the place where they tied the horse, jump onto the horse, and go from the heel
At that time, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and when the four of them ran into the dense forest, they saw the yin energy everywhere, and the darkness was dark.
Luo Kai's eyes could see at night, but he didn't realize anything, but the other three were completely different. He only felt that the eyes were dark and could not see his five fingers. He couldn't help but cheer up.
Fortunately, the four men were fast, and although they could not catch up with the group of Jinyiwei, they could still vaguely see the torches in the distance in the dark.
Luo Kailing opened the way in front, looking at the visible flames in front of him.
Because it is approaching the cold winter, the dead trees and rotten trees in the forest appear deep and solemn
Horses should be more cautious when galloping
The four horses walked around the forest and ran for several miles in one breath
At this moment, two snarls in the darkness, Luo Kai suddenly felt the shadows on both sides shaking, and then he saw two weapons slashing from both sides.
Seeing that Luo Kai was coming, he pressed his left hand on the saddle. The man had already soared into the sky, and two weapons passed by his feet.
The three people behind saw someone attacking, and immediately jumped out of their saddle and pulled out their weapons.
As soon as the four talents landed, they saw shadows around them, all of them were full of human shadows.
And the person who attacked the enemy just now has also hidden in the forest
Suddenly the four of them were surrounded, and I don’t know how many enemies there were.
The four of them stood in four directions with their backs to back. Luo Kai whispered to everyone: I don’t know if the person coming is a friend or an enemy, so don’t hurry up and take heavy moves.
At this moment, a heavy voice floated over: Who are you, why are you here?
This person's pronunciation is awkward, not like a person from Central Plains
Luo Kaixuan said: I am four friends who are on the road at night, and I have been offended inadvertently. I thank you here. I also ask you to use these words to speak neither humble nor arrogantly. I will not reveal my identity, but also accompany you to the crime.
The man snorted: You are from the Purple Palace Immortal Palace, are you?
Luo Kai was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself: Could this group of people be the Sun Fire Sect? He looked around and saw people shaking everywhere among the trees, all wearing black clothes, narrow clothes, and holding curved and long thin bladed scimitars. It was obviously not a weapon of Middle Earth.
Looking back at the person who was talking, he saw that he had curly cheeks, curly hair and high nose, and his appearance was very majestic.
Looking at other men in black, they look the same, they are all men with deep eyes and crooked noses, and they are definitely not our Chinese clan.
Luo Kai knew that the Rihuo Cult came from India. When he saw the faces of these people, he was even more sure of the identity of these people. He was slightly shocked and couldn't help but worry about Zi Yan's safety. He immediately said firmly and loudly: It turns out that you are from the Rihuo Cult. You are here at night, what are you trying to do?
After hearing Luo Kai's words, the man stopped asking more questions, and suddenly shouted to his monster.
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen men in black rushed from all sides
The Laughing Monk, Shangguan Liu, Fang Qingyun and others have experienced many great battles in their lives. Seeing this situation, they are not in a hurry and are snatching up at the same time.
I saw the laughing monk dragging his sword horizontally, and with one move, flying fish crossing the river, he rushed to the man in black who was coming towards him.
Shangguan Liu Yinxiao waved and attacked Fang Qingyun.
The sound of weapons colliding is rising and falling from time to time, constantly
Luo Kai was not negligent, and he rushed straight towards the man who had just spoken. Unexpectedly, he walked out of more than a meter. The sound of hissing in the darkness was loud, and the golden blade slashed the wind, and several scimitars were slashing over at the same time.
Luo Kai's body moved horizontally to the left, avoiding the attack on the right, and putting on a man's wrist. With the internal force penetrated, he could only hear the man Ah's sound, and the scimitar immediately took off his hand.
But Luo Kai snatched the scimitar with his hand, turned it out of his left palm, and shocked the man, and he slammed several pots in a row.
At this time, the three men in black had also attacked. Before the blade reached, they felt the sharp wind rushing. It seemed that the three men were very good at skill, and they were really first-class experts.
Luo Kaixin was shocked, and the scimitar was filled with true energy. After several sounds, the three scimitars attacked were hit by the true energy and were immediately split into two sections.
Luo Kai succeeded with one move, attacked with the momentum, and used the Phantom Flowing Light at the moment, grabbed the three of them, pointed the wind out, and instantly hit the three of them to the ground.
Luo Kai saw that these people were powerful enemies, and immediately worried about Fang Qingyun and the other two. He looked up and saw that the three people had been divided into three groups and surrounded by the enemy. They were fighting each other.
Especially Shangguan Liu, seeing that he was unable to stand up and down, he was in a desperate situation.
Luo Kai saw this situation, so why did he not be anxious? He waved his scimitar and slashed directly at a pine tree beside him. Dozens of pine branches suddenly broke out.
Luo Kai's scimitar was touched and dozens of pine needles were shot straight out
Several men in black surrounding Shangguan Liu were all rare good players. Unexpectedly, Luo Kai's hand broke his branch and shot the enemy, and his momentum was so fast that he could not avoid the hidden weapon. He heard Ah!
Ouch! The sounds were everywhere, either the pine needles were inserted into the wrist or the thighs were stomping on the Taoer
A few days have passed, and finally everything has settled down, and the guests have also left one after another
This Ri Luokai gathered everyone to discuss the pursuit of Yuedu
Luo Kai first told what he learned from Zi Yan Yú, and then said: The Rihuo Cult suddenly returned to Zhongdi, and it is said that it was mainly to re-establish the teachings here. Their other purpose was to find the traitor Yue Du, and Yue Du suddenly lost his trace at this time. It seems that he already knew this and was worried that he would search for the Rihuo Cult, so he hid it. Zi Yan Yú also told me that day that he believed that Yue Du went north to Shuntian, mainly to serve King Yàn, and use this as a shelter.
The strange mother-in-law said: From what the boy surnamed Jiang said, I believe that the incident of Yuedu going north will not be fake. According to my opinion, you should go to Shuntian first to see if you find anything
Luo Kai said: I plan to do this, but from here to Shuntian, the road is thousands of miles away, and I can only arrive day and night, at least ten days and eight days, or half a month. The emperor's banquet for heroes will also expire, and there are only more than twenty days left. If we go back and forth like this, we will definitely not be able to attend the banquet for heroes. So what should we do?
The laughing monk said: Master Luo is right. It is indeed not possible to find Yue Du in a short time. It is better to delay the banquet of heroes and set off north!
Bai Ruixue echoed: It's good, it's really not a fight for this little time. Besides, Yanyingmen already knows the truth, even if they can't catch Yuedu, they won't take their anger on Luo Kai. As long as the heroes have passed the banquet, we will immediately go north and rush to Shuntian to monitor the movements of King Yàn from the side to see if we can find out the news about Yuedu.
After hearing this, Luo Kai felt that this should be done, so he nodded in agreement.
Shangguan Liu said: Speaking of Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly gathering martial arts people from all over the country, and identifying the banquet of heroes, there must be any plans inside. When I see it, I must prevent it from multiple ways.
Bai Ruixue said: The bloody Yàn gate seems to have stopped recently and did not cause trouble in the world. This is a bit worrying. Do you think it will be related to the banquet of heroes, or like the last martial arts conference, there is some murderous intent hidden in it!
The strange mother-in-law glared and said: I'll take a look at the old lady, and see what methods they want to play.
Shangguan Liu pondered for a moment and said: Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been in charge of the Red Turban Army, who had been in opposition to the Yuan Dynasty, was in charge of the sects of the martial arts world at that time, and was deeply aware of the interests of various sects in the martial arts world. This person was extremely suspicious and abolished the position of prime minister, so he knew that he was an autocratic and dictatorial monarch. At that time, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong sent officials to the coast to recruit Japanese pirates. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang used the excuse that he had made a bad plan and killed him. From then on, he abolished the prime minister. The national government affairs were all divided into six ministries, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and work, all under his control.
Dong Yiyixuan said with a eyebrows: As his emperor, he is also the officials of the current dynasty who want to kill and abolish. What does this have to do with our martial arts people?
Shangguan Liu smiled and said: How could it not matter! Do you know why he wanted to try his best to kill the founding heroes. Until now, the main reason for killing all the founding heroes was to consolidate the rule of his descendants, so as not to be taken advantage of by the founding heroes and seize the throne. At this time, the heroes in the court had gone. He was worried about another thing, because he knew the power of martial arts people. If all the gangs and sects in the martial arts world united to rebel, this matter could be big or small, how could he dare to ignore it? Therefore, he secretly established a bloody sect in order to take the martial arts sects for his own use and control it. This time, he actually held a banquet for heroes. What kind of heart would he have!
Dong Yiyi said: Since this is the case, it’s better that the heroes will not go to the banquet.
The mother-in-law scolded: What are you talking about? How can we people in the world treat what we said as fart? Since we have agreed to go to the appointment, we must not retreat even if we are in the sea of swords and fire. Dong Yiyi stretched her tongue and suddenly said nothing.
Luo Kai said: From a clear perspective, Zhu Yuanzhang's move is indeed suspicious, but if it is said that there will be too great danger, I don't think it will be.
Bai Ruixue asked: Could it be that you have seen something?
Luo Kai said: You might as well think carefully. Zhu Bai still believes that he will be afraid of us after taking ambergris pills and dare not attack us rashly, but he still sent someone to send the invitation. A few days ago, he saw him as if nothing had happened, and he was talking and laughing with me. He also said that on the day of the banquet of heroes, he had prepared a VIP seat for me, so I must come early. If there is any danger in the banquet of heroes, it is hard to guarantee that I will not recognize others and will not give him antidote. In the end, the victim will be himself. How can Zhu Bai and his sister know
After hearing this, everyone felt something was right
However, the laughing monk smiled and said: I am afraid that the prince is not malicious to the owner of the manor and treats him as a guest of honor, but secretly uses poison to other sects. Isn’t that bad
Shangguan Liu nodded and said: Will there be any secret schemes for the heroes that day? After all, it is too early to say it, but you must be careful of others and you must never slackewer. Before the plot of those hawks and dogs, I met a friend in the world. I am currently the Qianhu, the Jinyiwei in Beijing. I will leave for the capital early tomorrow morning to see if I can find some clues from him.
Shi Tongming said: Brother Shangguan is a friend from the official school, and he is willing to reveal any information. It seems that Brother Shangguan should not have too much hope.
Shangguan Liu said: Although I have known this friend for a long time, I have saved him. With this connection, it may be helpful.
As soon as Shangguan Liu Fang finished speaking, a martial artist who protected the village quickly walked into the hall, rushed straight to Luo Kai, and bowed and said: Report to the owner of the village, someone in the Purple Palace asked for a meeting.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Luo Kai said: Please! As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but think of the scene with Zi Yan Yú that day, and thought to himself: Could it be that she invited me to her residence again? Since I am a husband, how can I do so recklessly again? How can I be worthy of my four beautiful wives?
Before Luo Kai's longing could be changed, he saw the martial artist leading a girl in. Luo Kai had already recognized it at a glance. It was Xiaoyu, the maid next to Zi Yan, who was next to him.
I saw Xiaoyu with a quick look on his face, and glanced at the people in the hall, then came to Luo Kai and said anxiously: Xiaoyu has met the Lord of Luo Zhuang
Seeing that her expression was strange, Luo Kai immediately asked: No need to be polite, will the palace lord send you here?
Xiaoyu shook her head and said: It’s not that the palace master called the little maid, it’s... it’s Xiaoyu who asked the owner Luo for something, and I hope the owner can lend a helping hand and rush to help our palace master.
Luo Kai first saw her coming in, and knew something was wrong. At first glance, he was shocked and asked quickly: Could it be that something happened to your palace master? Don't be impatient, tell the matter slowly.
Xiaoyu said urgently: Because the palace master was pursuing the whereabouts of Yuedu, he sent King Feng Ling and King Turtle Spirit, and led more than ten masters from the same palace to visit the Rihuo Sect at night... King Feng Ling was killed, King Turtle Spirit was captured, and only three of the masters who were traveling with injuries came back with injuries. The palace master immediately brought King Dragon Spirit and King Lin Ling to save the people. The maid... The maid was really worried... So...
Dong Yiyi raised her mouth and interrupted: So come to find my brother Luo Kai’s helper, right?
The more Luo Kai listened, the more his heart beat harder. When he saw Xiaoyu's worrying look, an ominous sign suddenly surged into his heart. Hearing Dong Yiyi's words, he immediately stopped her from talking, then lowered his head and pondered, muttering: King Feng Ling's martial arts is extremely strong, he is already a first-class master. With his skills, he actually died in the hands of the enemy. The martial arts of the Rihuo Sect should not be underestimated!
Xiaoyu said: It's Ah! I heard from the palace master that the four spirit kings are the guardians in the palace and are already the top players in the palace. But I don't know that they are not their opponents! Although the palace master's martial arts are higher than the four spirit kings, the little maid is always worried about the safety of the palace master. The more I think about it, I become more and more shocked, so I have to bite the bullet and beg Master Luo, hoping that the owner of the mansion can... to lend a helping hand...
Luo Kai said: Don't worry, the palace master was in trouble in order to help Luo investigate Yuedu, causing trouble to King Fengling. How could Luo stand idly by this matter? It is said that the Rihuo Sect has joined the court. You might as well rush to the Xiang Prince's Mansion to inform the prince now, and leave the matter to me. Do you know where the Rihuo Sect is?
Xiaoyu nodded and said: I heard that it was near Bao'en Temple in Beijing. The location was indeed, so I didn't know.
Shangguan Liudao: Baoen Temple is located in Jubaomen, the outer city, and together with Linggu Temple and Tianjie Temple, it is called the three major temples in the capital, and the buildings are densely located near Baoen Temple. It is believed that it is very difficult to find out the location of the Rihuo Sect.
Luo Kai said: Now I have to rush to Bao'en Temple to see it. It's half a day away from the capital. Saving people is like putting out a fire. I can't delay any more. Now I set off. After saying that, I summoned two martial artists to come in and escort Xiaoyu to the Xiangwang Mansion and informed Xiangwang Zhu Bai.
After Xiaoyu left, Bai Wanting immediately said: Brother Luo Kai, I want to go too. Then Dong Yiyi and the sisters of the Fang family also asked in unison.
Luo Kai frowned and said loudly: The enemy is very tough this time, and there is a very likely battle. You all stay for me, and no one can follow me.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Luo Kai was so stern, he just didn't want the four brides to take risks.
The rest of the people in the hall also knew that Luo Kai would be very dangerous when he was single this time, so he couldn't help but go with Luo Kai in unison.
Luo Kai said: Although the enemy is powerful, Luo Kai is not afraid of them like this. This time, I will go with you monk Xiao, Shangguan Liu and the others to accompany me...
He still didn't finish his words, and the blamed mother-in-law immediately cursed: Luo Kai, do you look down on the old woman? You have not been married for a while. If there are any problems, what should you do if you call them four? Although I am a little older, I have to deal with these ghosts and monsters, so I won't remove my old bones for them.
Luo Kai heard the strange mother-in-law say this, but he couldn't speak for a moment
Since his parents died, he was lonely for half his life. Since he met his strange mother-in-law, he has long regarded her as a relative and elder. How could Luo Kai let her take risks?
But he knew that he was so weird that he didn't dare to disobey her at all. At this time, Luo Kai really agreed or not, and he didn't agree or not. He was in a difficult situation.
Bai Ruixue has always been careful and understands the scenery of Luo Kai best. He said: Grandma Qiu, how can you go to Ah? If even Grandma Qiu go with you, who can defend Lingyun Village if there is any trouble? If the King of Xiang uses the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain and takes advantage of the situation and sneak attacks Lingyun Village, how can you tell me then?
When Luo Kai heard Bai Ruixue's words, he knew that she was deliberately helping her to help her. He was grateful and quickly said: That's right, Lingyun Village is in an extraordinary period now, how can we take it lightly? If you don't have a mother-in-law here, how can you feel at ease in teaching Luo Kai?
The strange mother-in-law glared at everyone, but saw everyone's eyes looking at her, and couldn't help but sigh: OK, you are angry together, don't want me to go, what else can the old lady say! But Luo Kai, you must be careful in everything. Although you know that there are mountains outside the mountain, you can run away if you can't fight. You must not bother you. You must know that today is different from the past. There are four more beautiful wives around you, so don't worry about you. Although the strange mother-in-law is weird, her inner care is completely revealed in her words.
Luo Kai was so grateful that he had no answer.
Shui Qiuyue came to him with her beloved son and said: Luo Kai, you are kind and kind. If you fight against the enemy, you will inevitably suffer a great loss! You must change your personality after the fight. There are sinister things in the world, either you die or I die. If you only need to be soft-hearted and kind, you may kill you. You must remember this in the future if you meet a cruel and ruthless evil person, don’t show mercy. Do you know?
Fang Qingyun stood up and said: Let's get off now, I'll go with you.
Before Luo Kai could react, he heard the strange mother-in-law saying: My family has rich experience in the world. If you go with me, I will be more at ease with you.
Fang Qingyun couldn't help but say a few polite words when he heard this.
Luo Kai was used to the point of saying this, and he was inconvenient to object. At that moment, the four of them ordered the martial artist to prepare horses, and left the village and gallop northward.
In the early Ming Dynasty, two capitals and one capital was established, namely Yingtian Prefecture was Nanjing, Kaifeng Prefecture was Beijing, and Fengyang Prefecture was Zhongdu.
It was not until the eleventh year of Hongwu that Beijing was abandoned and Nanjing was officially renamed the Beijing Division.
The capital is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, surrounded by water and mountains, showing the momentum of dragons and tigers.
The entire capital was divided into four floors: palace city, imperial city, capital city, outer city, and generalized as capital city at that time.
This city project is huge and a lot of manpower and material resources are invested. When it was built, the manpower of the Ministry of Works, Henghaiwei, Baotaowei, Feixiongwei, twenty-eight prefectures, and one hundred and eighty counties and three other towns were used.
The city walls of the capital are made of bricks and stones. They are built on Qinhuai in the south, Xuanwu Lake in the north, Zhongshan in the east, and stones in the west. They are 67 miles long. They are not only the longest capital in China in history, but also the world's first.
(Note: Beijing's inner and outer cities are 60 miles long, and Paris's palace city is 59 miles long)
Luo Kai and the other four rushed to the road. When they arrived at the capital, they had already passed the afternoon. All the eighteen gates in the outer city were closed.
From a distance, I saw that the city wall was five feet high, and the scepters on the city wall were often seen walking back and forth. Obviously, there were not many people. If I wanted to climb into the city secretly, it would be difficult to prevent the defenders from discovering it.
Luo Kai was hesitating and laughing monk said: It seems that you can't enter the city tonight. Why not find a place nearby and take a rest for a night, and enter the city early tomorrow morning.
Luo Kai said quickly: After a long time, I am afraid that Miss Zi and others will be in danger! Let's do this, I'll go to the other side to see if there is a gap to enter the city.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that with Luo Kai's skills and his phantom flowing skills, it was easy for him to enter the city alone, but it would be difficult to enter the city safely without being discovered by the defenders!
Shangguan Liu said: Let’s go east to the city, where the city wall is high and the outside of the city is vast. If you look at it for dozens of miles, there will definitely be not many defenders. Why not go there and see how?
Everyone nodded in favor, immediately turned over the horse's head and headed towards the east of the city
When we arrived at the east of the city, as Shangguan Liu said, the terrain here is vast, dozens of feet away from the city, a large river crosses south, and a bridge over several feet wide on the river stands across the river, with a grand atmosphere.
It turns out that this bridge is the well-known Jiangdong Bridge
At that time, the general Zhang Yu, who was under Zhu Yuanzhang, and Chang Yuchun's eldest son Changsheng, led 15,000 troops to cover the wings of Jiangdong Bridge to resist Chen Youliang's 200,000 troops. This happened here.
The four of them dared not ride their horses, for fear that the defenders on the city discovered that they had already jumped off their horses, tied under two big trees, slowly rushed under the city wall, raised their heads and looked at the heads of the city. They saw that the city wall was more than ten feet high, and it was really not easy to climb up.
Luo Kai reached out and touched the wall. He saw that the bricks in the city were fine and extremely solid. The gaps were made of lime, tung oil, etc., and were extremely smoothly ground and had no holes to climb. He couldn't help but sigh: The wall was paved smoothly, and the city wall was more than ten feet high. No matter how good the light skills were, it was difficult to climb up. What should I do?
Everyone knew that they had no ability to climb up the city. When they were worried, they suddenly heard the loud noise of the city gate. Luo Kai and the other four were shocked and laughed and said: Could it be that we have discovered it?
Fang Qingyun shook her head and said: I believe it won't be. If the soldiers guarding the city discovered it, how could it be so quiet on the top of the city.
Everyone thought it was reasonable, Luo Kai said: Let's hide it first and see what happened
The four of them didn't talk anymore and lay down in the grass
The grass is not high, so it is not easy to hide people. Fortunately, the night is dark at this time, and it is snowing from time to time these days, and the moonlight has been blocked by dense clouds, so it is really hard to find four people.
Not long after, the rumbling sound passed, and the city gate was half open. As we saw a group of people riding out of the city, under the howling north wind, the black cloaks on those people were blown away.
Luo Kai looked at it without blinking his eyes, and saw that there were hundreds of people in this group, each holding a torch in his hands. With their clothes, he recognized him as the Jinyiwei at first glance.
Look at the actions of these Jinyiwei, they must be rushing to do something important. As soon as they leave the city gate, they will rush up to Jiangdong Bridge and head straight towards the dense forest in front.
After all the people and horses left the city gate, the rumbling sound rang out and the city gate closed again
The four of them jumped up and Shangguan Liu said: These Jinyiwei left the city in the dark night and were in a hurry. What important thing must be there. Then he said to Luo Kai: Do you think it will be related to the Purple Palace Immortal Palace?
Luo Kai pondered for a moment and said: Could it be that Zhu Bo had sent people to Beijing to resolve the dispute after hearing Xiaoyu's news?
The laughing monk said: Whether it is or not, since you can't enter the city now and there is nothing wrong with it, let's go and see what you think?
Fang Qingyun nodded and said: That's right, if their business has nothing to do with us, I'll just turn it back.
Everyone agreed to carry out their light skills, fly back to the place where they tied the horse, jump onto the horse, and go from the heel
At that time, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and when the four of them ran into the dense forest, they saw the yin energy everywhere, and the darkness was dark.
Luo Kai's eyes could see at night, but he didn't realize anything, but the other three were completely different. He only felt that the eyes were dark and could not see his five fingers. He couldn't help but cheer up.
Fortunately, the four men were fast, and although they could not catch up with the group of Jinyiwei, they could still vaguely see the torches in the distance in the dark.
Luo Kailing opened the way in front, looking at the visible flames in front of him.
Because it is approaching the cold winter, the dead trees and rotten trees in the forest appear deep and solemn
Horses should be more cautious when galloping
The four horses walked around the forest and ran for several miles in one breath
At this moment, two snarls in the darkness, Luo Kai suddenly felt the shadows on both sides shaking, and then he saw two weapons slashing from both sides.
Seeing that Luo Kai was coming, he pressed his left hand on the saddle. The man had already soared into the sky, and two weapons passed by his feet.
The three people behind saw someone attacking, and immediately jumped out of their saddle and pulled out their weapons.
As soon as the four talents landed, they saw shadows around them, all of them were full of human shadows.
And the person who attacked the enemy just now has also hidden in the forest
Suddenly the four of them were surrounded, and I don’t know how many enemies there were.
The four of them stood in four directions with their backs to back. Luo Kai whispered to everyone: I don’t know if the person coming is a friend or an enemy, so don’t hurry up and take heavy moves.
At this moment, a heavy voice floated over: Who are you, why are you here?
This person's pronunciation is awkward, not like a person from Central Plains
Luo Kaixuan said: I am four friends who are on the road at night, and I have been offended inadvertently. I thank you here. I also ask you to use these words to speak neither humble nor arrogantly. I will not reveal my identity, but also accompany you to the crime.
The man snorted: You are from the Purple Palace Immortal Palace, are you?
Luo Kai was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself: Could this group of people be the Sun Fire Sect? He looked around and saw people shaking everywhere among the trees, all wearing black clothes, narrow clothes, and holding curved and long thin bladed scimitars. It was obviously not a weapon of Middle Earth.
Looking back at the person who was talking, he saw that he had curly cheeks, curly hair and high nose, and his appearance was very majestic.
Looking at other men in black, they look the same, they are all men with deep eyes and crooked noses, and they are definitely not our Chinese clan.
Luo Kai knew that the Rihuo Cult came from India. When he saw the faces of these people, he was even more sure of the identity of these people. He was slightly shocked and couldn't help but worry about Zi Yan's safety. He immediately said firmly and loudly: It turns out that you are from the Rihuo Cult. You are here at night, what are you trying to do?
After hearing Luo Kai's words, the man stopped asking more questions, and suddenly shouted to his monster.
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen men in black rushed from all sides
The Laughing Monk, Shangguan Liu, Fang Qingyun and others have experienced many great battles in their lives. Seeing this situation, they are not in a hurry and are snatching up at the same time.
I saw the laughing monk dragging his sword horizontally, and with one move, flying fish crossing the river, he rushed to the man in black who was coming towards him.
Shangguan Liu Yinxiao waved and attacked Fang Qingyun.
The sound of weapons colliding is rising and falling from time to time, constantly
Luo Kai was not negligent, and he rushed straight towards the man who had just spoken. Unexpectedly, he walked out of more than a meter. The sound of hissing in the darkness was loud, and the golden blade slashed the wind, and several scimitars were slashing over at the same time.
Luo Kai's body moved horizontally to the left, avoiding the attack on the right, and putting on a man's wrist. With the internal force penetrated, he could only hear the man Ah's sound, and the scimitar immediately took off his hand.
But Luo Kai snatched the scimitar with his hand, turned it out of his left palm, and shocked the man, and he slammed several pots in a row.
At this time, the three men in black had also attacked. Before the blade reached, they felt the sharp wind rushing. It seemed that the three men were very good at skill, and they were really first-class experts.
Luo Kaixin was shocked, and the scimitar was filled with true energy. After several sounds, the three scimitars attacked were hit by the true energy and were immediately split into two sections.
Luo Kai succeeded with one move, attacked with the momentum, and used the Phantom Flowing Light at the moment, grabbed the three of them, pointed the wind out, and instantly hit the three of them to the ground.
Luo Kai saw that these people were powerful enemies, and immediately worried about Fang Qingyun and the other two. He looked up and saw that the three people had been divided into three groups and surrounded by the enemy. They were fighting each other.
Especially Shangguan Liu, seeing that he was unable to stand up and down, he was in a desperate situation.
Luo Kai saw this situation, so why did he not be anxious? He waved his scimitar and slashed directly at a pine tree beside him. Dozens of pine branches suddenly broke out.
Luo Kai's scimitar was touched and dozens of pine needles were shot straight out
Several men in black surrounding Shangguan Liu were all rare good players. Unexpectedly, Luo Kai's hand broke his branch and shot the enemy, and his momentum was so fast that he could not avoid the hidden weapon. He heard Ah!
Ouch! The sounds were everywhere, either the pine needles were inserted into the wrist or the thighs were stomping on the Taoer
