How a young man lasts for a long time, how a young man grows young.
A sloppy man, Yao Xianzhi. The woman with the sword is from Yao Ling.
When we met for the first time, one was still an energetic young man with a bright smile, and the other was still a heroic girl with a sharp edge.
Yao Xianzhi seemed a little shy, his lips moved slightly, and he couldn't say the right words. He didn't want to say polite words. He wanted to say too much in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, he was so silent.
Yao Lingzhi, the daughter of Jiuniang of Hu'er Town Inn, she is still quite forthright, as if even after so many years of hard work, she has not been able to polish off the edges of her character. She looked at the man openly, nodded and smiled. : "Mr. Chen, it's been a long time indeed."
Chen Ping'an asked: "Can you take me to see General Yao?"
Yao Xianzhi nodded.
Yao Lingzhi noticed something strange around Yao Mansion, as if Chen Pingan's arrival had caused quite a stir. It's normal. Today's Yao Mansion is no longer the Shangshu Mansion of the past. His Majesty the Emperor is not in Mirage City now, and someone is trespassing here.
Chen Ping'an apologized: "I came here in a hurry. I guess I need your help to explain. I just said that someone is visiting Yao Mansion, so let Mirage There is no need to be nervous. As for who I am, there is no need to say anything." Yao Lingzhi did not hesitate and went to handle the matter in person and asked his brother Yao Xianzhi to take Chen Ping'an to visit their grandfather.
Yao Xianzhi walked with a limp and had an empty sleeve. The man tried to cover it up, but it was in vain.
Chen Pingan smiled and asked: "I seemed to be arguing with your sister just now? What were you arguing about?"
Yao Xianzhi said softly: "The older my sister gets, the more nagging she gets. She always wants me to Looking for a daughter-in-law, being a matchmaker all day long, and getting addicted to this nonsense. It’s not like she doesn’t know what kind of virtue I have now, even if there is a woman who agrees to the marriage, what is her intention? I'm not stupid. It can't be because I'm young and promising, right? Mr. Chen, do you think this is true?" Chen Pingan nodded and said, "It's just human nature. It’s normal to be annoyed. Unless one day you meet a girl you like and get married. Until then, you just have to be annoyed.”
Yao Xianzhi smiled. He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I look much older than you now."
Chen Pingan lightly slapped Yao Xianzhi on the head, "In addition to looking older, he is also famous and has a bad temper. , he could even fight with the Immortal Master of Bailongdong Genealogy in the downtown area."
Yao Xianzhi laughed after being slapped. He could laugh without drinking. For today's "Prince Yao", he is a good person. A very rare thing.
In a secluded courtyard, two human-height painted door gods were posted on the door. At that moment, a golden figure appeared, guarding the door.
This is not an ordinary "sacred display" of landscapes. The two golden door gods in front of you are responsible for the civil and military fortunes of the country in Daquan. They can probably be regarded as the emperor's fake public welfare. However, this move is reasonable. combinereason. Because the person who helps the door god to "draw gold" is the imperial eunuch of a country who holds the standard handwriting given by the emperor himself. Every stroke is within the rules. As for the person who "finished" the two door gods, Chen Ping'an knew at a glance that it was the handwriting of a certain academy chief and belonged to the guidance of a Confucian saint. It is obvious that Confucians looked at Daquan Yao with admiration, from Confucian Temple to Yizhou Academy.
From now on, the two door gods who manifested on the courtyard gate avenue will be involved in the national destiny of Daquan and enjoy the incense of the human world for hundreds of thousands of years. They are the most common gold-painting and gilding on the Shinto road.
Chen Pingan had actually noticed something unusual about this place before. He could conclude that the old general Yao Zhen was training here. The reason why he did not land directly here was because he was too reckless and worried about his sword energy and strength. The meaning of the fist has not yet completely converged, and it is too "strong" and will violate the taboos of the mountains and rivers, accidentally colliding with the old general's numerology energy. Furthermore, Chen Ping'an also wanted to be with his siblings and calm down his own mood first.
The two door gods looked intently at the green shirt, and then almost simultaneously clasped their fists and saluted, with respectful expressions, and took the initiative to make way for Chen Pingan.
Yao Xianzhi was stunned. He originally thought that he had to explain a few more words before Mr. Chen could pass the access control here.
Chen Pingan clasped his fists in return and followed Yao Xianzhi into a room. There was an Xianjia incense burner placed on the table inside, with purple air rising and a pleasant fragrance.
An old man with snow-white beard and hair was lying on the hospital bed, breathing extremely slowly.
Yao Xianzhi moved extremely gently and helped Chen Pingan move a chair beside the bed, while he himself sat far away.
Before Chen Pingan sat down, he took out several golden talismans from his sleeves and posted them on the door and windows one by one. They were several high-grade talismans recorded in the "Authentic Alchemy Book", one of which was named It is a "crossing talisman" that can stabilize the mind and soul and reduce the impact of the passage of time. However, this talisman consumes a lot of talisman paper. The key to refining this talisman consumes the monk's mind and spirit, which is actually far more than painting the attack. In addition to the ferry talisman, there is also an almost lost "cow and horse pause talisman" posted on the door. It cannot stop the oxen and horses from coming to the door, but it can allow ghosts and ghosts to see the magic talisman from a distance and rest for a while. This kind of mysterious and mysterious ancient respect, this kind of landscape rules are destined not to be recorded in the immortal books secretly hidden by ordinary sects.
Yin and Yang have different paths, and each takes his own path. This is the same principle as the bird has its own path, and the mouse has its own path. If a person who practices Taoism has not opened his eyes, or has not reached the upper five realms, he will meet the City God. It's not surprising to Lord Tutu that monks descending the mountain are like gods descending to earth to inquire about the land. It is even an unwritten rule in the officialdom of landscape. However, it is extremely difficult to meet those Yin Mingxu officials who are completely different from the day and night wandering gods. It is almost as rare as encountering Yin objects for ordinary masters. Moreover, once they meet by chance, Qi practitioners will not regard them as a good thing.
According to the obscure records of the summer palace, people, regardless of whether they are practicing Taoism or not, and the ghosts of Fengdu are walking on both sides of a long river of time. Both sides have their own paths of heaven and earth, and the water in the well does not interfere with the river. Therefore, ChenPing An has traveled a lot. Except for the blessing of Zhong Kui, who gained a lot of experience outside the Mihe Temple, he has never seen any ghosts from Fengdu. Moreover, Chen Ping An was used to that unruly encounter. The relationship has been stagnant for a long time, so that we can see the rare true appearance of Fengdu Xu Li. Otherwise, even if the two parties are close at hand, they will still pass each other.
After years of traveling, either drawing talismans or giving gifts, Chen Pingan has used up all the golden talisman papers in his collection. These rare talisman papers used to draw talismans were temporarily borrowed from Cui Dongshan on the Yunzhou ferry. Come.
Drawing the Time Ferry Talisman will consume the monk's mind. Drawing the cow and horse temporary talisman will damage your moral character.
These taboos are actually clearly stated in the "Authentic Book of Alchemy". Li Xisheng also specially commented four words next to the cow and horse talisman: Use this talisman with caution.
Yao Xianzhi sat on the chair and just watched Mr. Chen put up the golden talismans one by one. Although he was full of curiosity, he did not ask.
While curious, the man felt a little reassured for no reason.
It seems that Mr. Chen is finally here, so he, the Prince of Daquan County who has become a waste, can be lazy, not to mention what he is doing, even if he is serious about it. Anyway, Mr. Chen has to work hard for everything.
Yao Xianzhi, the young San Yao who lived in Daquan Border Pass in the past, admired the young swordsman who looked like a master the most. In fact, as a young man at that time, he only wanted to learn from Mr. Chen, who was unparalleled in boxing skills. , but it was a pity that it didn’t work out. At that time, I felt that there would be many opportunities in the future, and I didn’t have to worry about it for a while. Even if the years on the mountain had little to do with the cold and heat in the world, then if we didn’t see each other for three to five years, we would always meet again in ten years. I never thought that two decades would pass in the blink of an eye. , and now Yao Xianzhi doesn't have the slightest intention to practice boxing and martial arts.
Yao Xianzhi is not a Qi practitioner, but he can see that those golden talismans are priceless.
Every time those immortal masters in the Daquan court served their country and used talismans made of this kind of material, their faces looked as if they were in pain from cutting flesh, so that the court would know how much they devoted their money.
After Chen Pingan posted the talisman, he quietly walked to the table, stretched out his palm towards the incense burner, flicked it gently, smelled the fragrance, and nodded. He was worthy of being an expert. Handcrafted, just the right amount.
After doing this, Chen Pingan sat on the chair near the hospital bed.
A few talismans other than the ferry talisman and the cow and horse talisman are relatively common. They are used to help General Yao calm down and concentrate his energy, and slightly slow down the process of mental fatigue and skin decay, such as a piece of nectar bordering The talisman is to quietly moisturize the old man's body with every trace of water, soil, and luck, and it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Today's old people, even immortals like Cui Dongshan, have any mysterious magical powers, which are a big fight that outweighs the gains.
Yao Xianzhi had no doubts from beginning to end.
I believe it will be the same even if His Majesty the Emperor is here.
The Yao family rarely trusted an outsider so much.Yes, even more so now, and Chen Pingan is the only exception.
The man just looked at Mr. Chen who "came a little late" quietly.
Because the reason why grandpa is struggling now, although no one has heard the reason personally, but the younger generation San Yao, His Majesty the Emperor Yao Jinzhi, the martial arts master Yao Lingzhi, Yao Xianzhi , everyone knows why.
Grandpa hoped that he could see his benefactor again, a young man he had known for years.
Besides, Grandpa actually has nothing difficult to let go of.
Daquan Guozuo has been preserved, and even a mirage city is intact. It snows heavily every winter, and the capital is still the beauty of the glazed fairyland.
The Tongyezhou is a huge mountain with broken mountains and rivers, and wind and catkins are floating in the wind. Such a lucky thing, Daquan is the only one.
After Chen Pingan sat down, he gently rubbed the palms of his hands together, then stretched out his hand and gently held one of the old man's dry palms.
Rub your hands to warm them up a little. A martial artist can actually control the temperature of his hands without such unnecessary movements.
It's just that this was a subconscious action by Chen Ping'an.
A moment later. < /p>
"It's me, Chen Pingan."
Chen Pingan leaned forward, grabbed Old General Yao's hand with both hands, bent down and whispered softly: "After so many years, I I still always think about the time when I walked with Grandpa Yao by the burial river and met an old farmer who occasionally made a living by fishing for corpses. The old man said that his son fished out people he shouldn’t fish, so within a few days, his son was very When the crowd was almost gone, the old man finally said, "It should have been stopped." I never understood why the old man felt less sad when talking about this matter to outsiders like us because so much time had passed. There are some other reasons that persuade the old man not to be so sad. Or is there some heart-wrenching sadness in the lives of ordinary people? They fall into the potholes of the world. When people fall, they have to get up and move on. If you go forward, you will not be able to get up if you are sad. Even if you get over it, it is over. "
According to the custom of Chen Ping'an's hometown town, it is the same as those who are old and have no illness or disaster. In fact, there is no need to be taboo about life and death when talking about old people.
The old man murmured: "Sure enough, Xiao Ping'an is here. If it's not you, I can't tell these old things. If it's not you, I won't think of these."
Chen Pin'an said softly. : "It's easy for Grandpa Yao to wait, but I've been able to get here, and to be honest, it's not really easy. Some things come and don't wait for me to be ready. They seem to rush right in front of me without any discussion. , people can only endure it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
At the same time, there are some things that have to go, and they can’t be stopped no matter what, they can only be endured. I can't even say anything good to others. If I don't say that I feel aggrieved, I would be pretentious if I say too much.So I just want to find an elder to complain a few words. If not, I will come from Jinhuang Mansion to see Grandpa Yao. I must listen to him more. Back then, I was only thinking about rushing and walking in a hurry. This time I don’t have to rush home. "
The old man tried his best to open his eyes, his vision was blurred, and he could vaguely see a man who was no longer a boy. He still had a hosta on his head. After coughing a few times, the old man's face actually showed a bit more energy, "Yes. , the real Buddha only speaks ordinary words, he is still the Chen Ping'an I know, but he has grown up a lot. When he was young, he suffered a lot, either shouting at the top of his lungs, wishing that everyone in the world could hear it, or doing whatever he liked. Holding it in my stomach, I always feel that in a few days or a few years, it will not be a problem. In fact, where is such a good thing? Now you know that life is unsatisfactory, right? "
Chen Pingan nodded.
The old man raised his hand and patted the back of the young man's hand gently, "The Yao family has some difficulties now. It's not about the quality of the world, but the What's the truth, it's more embarrassing. Mine and those close to me are all knots in my heart. It doesn’t matter whether you come or not, whether you are good at solving problems now. For example, it is possible to change the path and make Yao Zhen, who is already very old and immortal, become even more immortal and become a landscape god or something, but he cannot do it. Small peace? "
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "I understand. ”
Daquan can support Zheng Su, the tiger king of Jinhuang Mansion, and Liu Yourong, the water god of Pine Needle Lake. Zheng Su’s divine status is second only to Daquan’s Five Mountains, and Liu Yourong is also the second-class river god, second only to Bi. Traveling to the palace and burying the river god. This is what is called a person achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven.
And this person is, of course, Yao Jinzhi, the Empress of Daquan.
Let the merits be enough to convince the public. It is not difficult for the returned General Yao to become the King of the Five Mountains, not to mention the King of the City.
It’s just that in this vast world, there are only a handful of women who become emperors. In times of trouble, whoever sits on the dragon throne and wears dragon robes is responsible, and being able to sit on the dragon throne is even more important. But when the peace and prosperity come, a woman becomes the emperor. How could it go smoothly?
Except for the Liu family of Daquan who lost the hearts of the people, in fact, the other emperors of Daquan for more than 200 years were considered wise emperors, and there was almost no faint emperor. This means that no matter whether the Liu family was In temples and mountains, in rivers and lakes and among the people, the national surname of Daquan is still the same.
So the choice of General Yao, whether to become a mountain and water god who sits in one place, is actually in the heart of the old man, whether to put Daquan in his heart. It was a choice to change the country's surname from "Liu" to "Yao". Obviously, the old man wanted to return Daquan to the Liu family. In this matter, it is very likely that the old general Yao Zhen and his granddaughter, the current emperor Yao Jinzhi. , there will be some kind of disagreement, and it can even be said that the old general's thoughts will run counter to the expectations of the entire Yao family, especially the youngest generation.
Yao Xianzhi didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. .
Grandpa is in good spirits today, so surprisingly good that he hasI was energetic and energetic, and I said a lot more than I had in the previous six months combined.
Chen Pingan suddenly turned to Yao Xianzhi and said: "Go and call your sister over, both sisters will come."
Yao Xianzhi had a bitter look on his face, "His Majesty the Emperor is not in the mirage now. City, and went to the Yao family's old mansion at the southern border."
Chen Ping'an was stunned on the spot. < /p>
Just sitting up made the old general look tired. He could only move his fingers slightly, as if he was waving his hand to signal Chen Ping'an not to think too much, "The funeral has been dealt with long ago. The children of the Yao family have all I am used to seeing life and death, so I don’t need to be too pretentious. There are so many people who died in battle at a young age. It makes no sense for someone who has lived to my age to leave, but the whole room is crowded and messy. Yes, I feel noisy if I cry, and it seems unfilial not to cry."
Chen Pingan asked: "What can I do?"
The old man laughed. Said: "You don't have to do anything, just don't leave without hearing anything. Even if we are separated by a continent, we can still communicate with each other with flying swords. Don't get involved in Yao family affairs and Daquan state affairs. You really think you are one of us." The son-in-law of the Yao family? Why did you go there back then? If you hadn't deliberately acted stupid and been willing to take a step or two, maybe... forget it,"
Yao Xianzhi grinned secretly.
If this matter spreads, it will make the government and the public want to get to the bottom of it. Those privately-engraved books that have been banned for many times, the endless official history, and the palace royal palace's gorgeous books, it is estimated that It will make more money. These books, which seriously damaged the foundation of the imperial court and the reputation of the Yao family, were fueled by frustrated scholars who lived in seclusion. Before my sister Yao Jinzhi proclaimed himself emperor, these books with unflattering contents had already become popular in both the government and the public. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he could only be said to have restrained himself slightly, but they were still like weeds in the spring breeze. Every time the government banned one, another one popped up. Stubble, now even many feudal officials and local officials will keep a few copies privately.
It’s just that His Majesty the Emperor can’t take care of this kind of thing for the time being. There are so many military and state affairs that need to be reorganized. Just to reform the military system, a total of eighty-six generals will be installed in various routes within a country. , it was already full of turmoil and criticism. As for the selection of the twenty-four "founding" heroes, there are even more obstacles. Civil and military officials with sufficient military merit to be elected have to compete for rankings. Those who are optional must fight for a place. Those who are not qualified will inevitably harbor resentment and resentment. Thinking that His Majesty the Emperor could replace the twenty-four generals with thirty-six generals, and even the expanded thirty-six generals could not be selected, the civil servants thought that the court could have a few more princes. The military general's mind changed and he turned to The eighty-six garrison armies were selective, and each one wanted to be a general on the border with the Northern Jin Dynasty and Southern Qi Dynasty, so as to have greater military power and more troops. The six generals of Hu'er Road in the southern border, who are very likely to start another border war, and the five generals of Mihe Road who are destined to be able to take charge of water and water transportation, are allFirst-class pastry.
And His Majesty the Emperor seems to have been hesitating whether to use an iron fist to control those unruly historians, because if he is not careful, the new emperor will be notorious for being mean and creating a literary prison.
Chen Pingan was really good at pretending to be stupid, and just said: "I plan to open a sect in Tongyezhou, maybe a little further north, but in the future, I will definitely deal with Daquan Yao family in the same continent. "
The old man asked doubtfully: "You have already established a sect? Why don't you choose to be in your hometown of Aoping Continent? No, since they are all sects, there is no reason to do so. You have to move to another continent to take root. Is it possible that you have enough military achievements in Shantou, but unfortunately you don’t have a good relationship with the Song Dynasty in Dali?”
In the eyes of the old general, the young Chen Ping’an can Creating a Zongzitou Immortal Mansion was already a shocking feat, no less impressive than his own granddaughter's recent success in becoming emperor. As for Xia Zong's statement, the old general thought that he was blind and deaf and had misheard.
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Grandpa Yao, the lower sect chose Tongyezhou as the site. The hilltop in my hometown will be the top of the upper sect. There is no need to move."
The old man looked cheerful. Yiyi wiped away his dejection and felt extremely happy in his heart, but he deliberately smiled angrily and said: "Bad boy, I don't want to get older as I get older. Why, you are fooling me with stupid words. Seeing that the person who is close is now His Majesty the Emperor." Now, I looked down on a girl from the Yao family in the Shangshu Mansion, but now I finally look down on a female emperor? Okay, okay, this is the case, it really makes me worry less, I have a higher outlook. , your kid is one of the very few peers who can catch her eye, but things are different now than in the past. The girl who is close to you is now much more energetic than before, and she has met more strange people and land gods. I guess you want to succeed. , it’s a lot harder than it was back then. You won’t be able to succeed easily just by talking about that young man like candy. What’s that person’s name?”
“Jin Ding?” Looking at Shao Yuanran, we in Tongyezhou have the best chance of becoming one of the earthly immortals in the upper five realms."
Yao Xianzhi smiled and replied loudly: "But in my opinion, he is not a strong rival of Mr. Chen. ”
Chen Pingan felt dizzy for a while and simply kept silent.
The old man did talk a lot today. He had to close his eyes and rest his mind. He was silent for a long time before he opened his eyes again and slowly said: "Our Yao family has never been good at dealing with scholars, especially Scholars in the officialdom have too many twists and turns. One person can clearly explain both the pros and cons of a sentence, but he can still make sense of it, so it would be more difficult to get close to him if it weren't for a martial artist like Xu Qingzhou. Being able to go to court with a sword, and with the help of the old Lord Shen, who can also say a few words to Jinzhi, maybe today the Yao Mansion will not be guarded by the door gods and the court, but will be under house arrest.
All the officials and scholars who lost their reputation and good reputation in that war, and then survived by chance. They successfully fled into the capital and took refuge in the capital, but now they have not been able to join the center of the temple or officialdom. Yao Jin, these people,Naturally, they would strongly oppose Yao's taking over the country. Everyone will want to occupy the moral righteousness and return the country's surname to the Liu family. How dignified is it for a woman to be in charge of a country?
Chen Pingan said: "Xu Qingzhou?"
Yao Xianzhi nodded and said: "I know that he has a deep grudge with Mr. Chen, but I still have to say something fair for him. This person In recent years, I have been somewhat responsible in the temple."
Xu Qingzhou is a nearly 70-year-old general with a "big and skillful" sword. Now Daquan's Zhengtou General, with outstanding military exploits, Xu Qingzhou led all his direct lineage troops to rush to the border, always advancing and retreating with the Yao family's cavalry, fighting and retreating along the way, and finally defended Mirage City. Bet big and win big. He became one of the pillars of Daquan Army after General Yao Lao.
Back then, Xu Qingzhou was just a young general who had placed all his bets on the eldest prince. Together with the academy gentleman Wang Qi, Cao Mu'an Xu Tong, and Shen Guogong Gao Shizhen, they all participated in the earlier siege of Chen Ping'an. dangerous hunt. It's just that Xu Qingzhou's choice at that time was extremely decisive. He did not hesitate to fall out with the eldest prince Liu Cong, but he also made a decisive decision and quit the gamble resolutely. As expected, the family was sidelined in official circles for many years.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "The grievances are not small, but my impression of Xu Qingzhou and Shen Guogong is not bad."
At that time, Chen Pingan was married to the two princes of Daquan. The mortal enemy was first the third prince Liu Mao, and then the eldest prince Liu Cong. Liu Cong was the eldest son of Liu Zhen, the old emperor of the Daquan Liu family. There are differences between elders and younger ones, as well as direct descendants. In the end, Emperor Liu Zhen chose his legitimate son, who had a high reputation among civil servants, to succeed him. As for the third prince Liu Mao, he had already turned to Taoism and sought immortality. He didn't show up in the previous war, and he just studied Qingci Green Chapter in a small Taoist temple.
However, the vassal king Liu Cong, who was able to temporarily supervise the country during the chaos, was ultimately unable to save the Liu family. After the battle of Tongyezhou ended, Liu Cong launched a mutiny on a rainy night in an attempt to seize the throne from the queen. Yao Jinzhi fought for the imperial seal, but was secretly enshrined by a man nicknamed the Knife Grinder. He teamed up with a short woman who was squatting behind the pillars and eating midnight snacks to stop Liu Cong and failed.
It is said that after the disheveled vassal king was dragged out of the hall by the soldiers, he was extremely lost. He laughed and cursed a strange word in the rain, "I should have waited until the rain stopped before taking action. I don't have a long memory." Ah, just wait, be careful that Daquan’s surname will be Chen in the future.”
Chen Ping’an has been carefully observing the flow of the old general’s energy, which is better than expected. Although it was a return to light before, but in the dark, It seemed that there had been subtle changes in Daquan Guozuo. Chen Pingan roughly deduced that either there was a natal lamp in the palace, or there was some secret method of violating the rules of the Confucian Temple in Qintian Prison, and someone was picking out the lamp there. Add oil, and the oil added cannot be asked for by any immortal
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Teachers or gods of mountains and rivers can’t ask for it, because it is the illusory Daquan national destiny. . Could it be that Yao Jinzhi had taken any measures in the old place of the Yao family at the border to continue the rule of the country? for exampleHe said that he had once again successfully expanded the border for Daquan, and finally reached an agreement with the Northern Jin Dynasty on the ownership of Song Needle Lake, and included the entire Song Needle Lake into Daquan Mountain and River.
The woman with the sword gently opened the door.
The old man said: "I'm a little tired. I'll take a nap first, but I seem to be able to wake up. It's not like before, every time I close my eyes, I don't have the confidence to open them."
< p>Yao Lingzhi carefully supported his grandfather and asked him to lie down and rest again.Chen Pingan did not leave the house immediately, but Yao Xianzhi took his sister and left first.
The two siblings stood in the corridor outside and whispered. Yao Lingzhi said: "Master is very strange. He asked me directly if the person who came here was named Chen. Could it be that he is an old acquaintance with Mr. Chen? ”
Yao Lingzhi’s martial arts master is none other than Liu Zong, the knife sharpener from Ouhua Blessed Land, the chief enshrinement of Daquan. However, this knife sharpener did not reveal his identity, and his hometown was not even mentioned to his direct disciple Yao Lingzhi.
Yao Xianzhi was a little absent-minded, and suddenly asked a question, "His Majesty the Emperor is not a monk, so why has his appearance changed so little over the years? Mr. Chen is a swordsman, and the changes have been so great."
Yao Lingzhi suppressed his anger, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Emperor! Forget it elsewhere, at home, can you not be so unfamiliar? Do you know that my sister, Jin, deliberately abides by the etiquette of a monarch and a minister every time I see you? , Your Majesty, how sad is she?"
Yao Xianzhi looked calm, "Now that you have become an emperor, a little sadness is nothing."
Yao Lingzhi lowered his voice. , but there was more anger on his face, and he said angrily: "Isn't it just the morning fight outside the palace gate? How long will you continue to blame your sister before you can let go?! You are a child of the Yao family, can you be a little more concerned about the overall situation of the temple? Do you know how difficult it is for my sister to act fairly and impartially, but in the eyes of others, she will only be partial to the Yao family and influence her whole body. , do you think it is so easy to be the emperor? Do you believe it or not, if it were just the empress, not to mention you, even your robes would be extremely favored by the court, not to mention how many hints has been given to you in private This time, I asked you to wait patiently and suffer some grievances first, because many of the shortcomings in the present will be made up for in the long run. Think carefully about how many distinguished descendants of the Yao family and temples have made great contributions in order to carefully balance the officialdom. Are you, an ally, defeated among the twenty-four meritorious deeds?" Yao Xianzhi crossed his arms and said, "It's hard for an upright official to stop family affairs, not to mention that we are all members of the emperor's family. It makes sense to me. Understood. If I didn't care about the overall situation, I would have left the capital long ago, and it wouldn't hurt anyone. Otherwise, you think I care about the status of the prince, and what is the official position of the governor of the capital?"
According to Daquan law? , the prince of the county and the duke of the country are of the same rank.
Nowadays, in addition to the Duke of Shen who was once the only one in Daquan, there are now eight more Dukes, including important civil and military ministers. General Xu Qingzhou is one of them.
Yao Xianzhi punched him in angerHe hit his younger brother on the shoulder, "You are just a fool who only cares about your own mood and is not unreasonable at all!"
Yao Xianzhi was shaken by the punch, and one of his sleeves floated gently. Yao Lingzhi's eyes turned red and he wanted to say a few soft words to his brother, but he was afraid of saying it again. Yao Xianzhi became more willful and had mixed feelings for a while. The woman who once did not hesitate to draw a sword against a vassal king turned out to be just I can turn my head away and wipe my tears by myself.
Wearing a green shirt, he opened the door gently, closed the door gently, and came to the corridor.
Yao Lingzhi quickly collected his emotions and said to Chen Ping'an: "Mr. Chen, no one will randomly explore your identity here in the capital. You will pretend that nothing happened today. But there will be people flying secretly. The sword is sent to the south, and I really can't stop it."
Chen Ping'an thanked her, and then smiled at Yao Xianzhi: "You should go to the border to drink the northwest wind, it's true. It's not suitable to be an all-round governor of the capital."
Yao Xianzhi's eyes lit up, "Mr. Chen, why don't you talk to Grandpa? You don't need to be a military commander who is in charge of an army." , I really don’t have the ability, just reward a scout captain, from a sixth-grade military attache, it is enough to send me away.”
Chen Ping’an smiled and said: “No problem, of course you can help, but. The premise is that you really understand what your sister just said to you, so that you can go to the border to feed the horses. Otherwise, if something happens in the capital and there is a slight disturbance, you will only think that you are a scout. In the eyes of others? I guess a few words in your ears fanned the flames, and if any of the Paoze brothers were wronged in the officialdom, you would have dared to lead hundreds of fine cavalry all the way to Mirage City, right? If I were His Majesty the Emperor, would you be the one? The Prince of Taiping is the easiest to do behind closed doors. Who cares if you can still fight for the injustice of those Pao Ze brothers who retreated from the battlefield. How many civil servants did you kick over in the court fight outside the palace gate? Listen. Tsk tsk, good fellow, do you think you are an invincible martial artist at the foot of Yizhou Mountain, or a five-level immortal master on the top of a mountain with extraordinary skills?"
"I am young and ignorant, impulsive, and impulsive. No? I learned this from Mr. Chen. When encountering injustice, it doesn’t matter whether he has it or not, just strike first.”
Yao Xianzhi felt very disappointed at first, but the more he heard, the more he became more and more frustrated. Happy, he chuckled and said: "Mr. Chen, you haven't seen that scene. That large group of powerless civil servants. If Xu Qingzhou hadn't stopped them at that time, I could have knocked them all to the ground by myself. Now. There is no chance like this. Let alone a minister, even a minister from the household department can’t scold or beat him. Money is very expensive. If I had known, I would have kicked a few more people while it was dark.”
Yao Lingzhi felt helpless, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
At least on Mr. Chen’s side, this younger brother will no longer say those weird words that only make people close to him feel uneasy.
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and shook the lame man's empty sleeve. Instead of comforting him, he joked: "Thanks for being the governor, I don't have any words."He can conquer the world single-handedly, otherwise a great master of martial arts in the Five Realms, with the nickname of One-Armed Divine Fist, will not be able to escape. What's going on? Was it chopped down by a great demon in the upper five realms? If not, don't talk to me about it, there's nothing to say. "
Yao Lingzhi glanced at his younger brother cautiously.
Unexpectedly, Yao Xianzhi not only did not feel uncomfortable, but said with a proud face: "On the battlefield, there are dangers and dangers. A demon beast from the fairyland, a sword cultivator! He was hiding here and there, making dirty moves at me, and a sword light passed by. Oh my god, I didn't even feel any pain at first. "
Chen Pingan glanced at the woman with the sword.
Yao Lingzhi smiled and said: "Listen to his nonsense, in the chaos of the army, I don't know why he was cut down. There was an arm, but at that time, there was indeed a demon swordsman near the immortal. His sword was sharp and there was a lot of sword light. "
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then treat it as being chopped off by the Sword Immortal, otherwise there will be no bullshit on the wine table. "
Yao Xianzhi looked forward to it and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, in your hometown, the fighting was more severe and the battles were miserable. I heard that they fought all the way from Laolongcheng to the central capital of Dali. Have you ever encountered a real monster on the battlefield?
Chen Pingan thought for a while and replied with a smile: "I have met some, some have fought against each other, and some are not close or far away. It can only be regarded as the two parties barely meeting each other." "
Yao Xianzhi continued: "Mr. Chen, I am talking about a great demon, the kind that reaches the fifth realm! How many are there? Do you have the first hand? If not, my admiration for Mr. Chen would be reduced by half. "
Chen Pingan reached out and patted the man on the shoulder, smiled and said: "Don't chat with people like this again. ”
The bearded man laughed heartily.
Unknowingly, Yao Xianzhi began to walk lamely, no longer covered, one sleeve fluttering and letting it go.
Yao Lingzhi started laughing. From the war to now, she had not seen her brother smile so brightly for many years.
There is some truth. In fact, Yao Xianzhi really understands, but he understands. Too willing to understand. It seems that if you are ignorant, you can still do something. If you are sensible, you can't do anything.
So no matter what Yao Jinzhi said to him, he would be wise. Yao Lingzhi, who has always been regarded as his sister, said a few words to him, but Yao Xianzhi would not listen, otherwise he would feel even more uncomfortable.
The three of them left the courtyard and returned to Yao Xianzhi's residence. .
Yao Lingzhi hesitated for a moment and said to Chen Ping'an: "Mr. Chen, I have a master who has been a priest in our Daquan capital for many years. He is a martial arts master. He seemed to have seen him before. When I saw you, I rushed over immediately and asked if the guest from the Yao Mansion was surnamed Chen. I didn’t answer, but maybe the master had seen something, so he asked me to tell him that he knew Mr. Zhong, and he was still there back then. Together with Mr. Zhong, we dealt with the Sword Immortal named Yu.
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Miss Yao's master and I are indeed old acquaintances. If there are no taboos in the house, I will fight."If he is older, he can make one more trip to the Yao Mansion to reminisce about old times. "
Yao Lingzhi said: "Then I will call Master over. "
Chen Pingan asked: "The empress who was buried in the river water goddess, is she in Biyou Palace now?
Yao Xianzhi said with a smile: "No, our Water Goddess's golden body was mostly broken. She said that she was too shameless to be the Water Goddess. She refused to go to Biyou Palace and stayed in Qintian Prison every day." The sword room is not going anywhere, and is eagerly waiting for a reply from the Confucian Temple, saying that she recognizes Master Wen Sheng. She has even seen the Zuo Da Sword Immortal and one of Master Wen Sheng's young disciples and recognized them all. . So she was going to try sending a letter to the respected, learned, approachable and affable Literary Saint, to see if he could do her a favor and ask the gods on the mountain for a better life-saving water elixir for General Yao. . Because she knew that the elixirs in her Biyou Palace Water Palace were of no use and could not help His Majesty the Emperor and my grandfather. "
Yao Xianzhi quickly said: "Those kind words about the Literary Saint were not said by me. They were said by the Goddess of Water after I drank with her, cracking her fingers and belching wine. His expression was extremely serious, but I didn't really believe it. I guess the Water Goddess Empress had never seen any of the three literary saints, and they were bragging with me when they were drunk. Although it is true that Zuo Dajianxian was once in Tongyezhou, it makes no sense why he would take the initiative to visit Biyou Palace and meet our Water Goddess. "
Chen Pingan stood up and said to Yao Lingzhi who had not gone far: "If you can please Miss Yao, please say hello to the Water Goddess again, just say I am Chen Pingan." "
Yao Lingzhi left to help deliver the message.
Chen Pingan and Yao Xianzhi asked some details about the Daquan war in the past.
Liu Zong soon When he came here, the old man probably hadn't left Yao Mansion too far.
Chen Pingan stood up and clasped his fists, "Senior Liu. "
Yao Xianzhi stood up, clenched his fist and tapped his heart gently, "I've seen Liu Gongfeng.
Knife sharpener Liu Zong nodded towards the slovenly man, then rubbed his chin, looked at Chen Ping'an blankly, and sighed: "Master Chen is becoming more and more handsome and has become an immortal. It's easy for me to miss him." Back then. ”
Yao Xianzhi was confused. I heard that Mr. Chen and Liu Gongfeng have a very good relationship?
The three of them sat down.
Without a few words, a tall figure The short woman hurriedly rode the wind and landed in the courtyard. Her eyes widened. After confirming Chen Pingan's identity, she stamped her foot, "The water flower wine and eel noodles are gone, what should I do? ! ”
