The officials of Si Tianjian were unlucky, but their family received generous rewards from the emperor.
Because of the special nature of Si Tianjian, it is like a carrot and a pit, and the father dies and the son takes over. Therefore, some children who are still underage were awarded official positions early to ensure that the family will not be affected.
Moreover, the emperor was always very generous, and each family of the officials who died was rewarded a large amount of compensation.
Just wait for the seventh day of the first lunar month and the start of the new year.
The voices in the court about sending envoys to the Northern Barbarians became louder and louder, and the ministers began to argue endlessly about how to strive for the best interests.
And Xu Tong also received the emperor's imperial edict early in the morning, asking him to go to the Yangzhou camp and order 4,000 troops to be ready to send envoys to the Northern Barbarians at any time.
Xu Tong could only take Tiannv to play in Lin'an Mansion for another day. After sending the little princess home, he said goodbye to Xu Fan and others and set off.
Before leaving, Xu Tong specially gave Xu Fan two thunder talismans to save his life. Of course, it was just to comfort him.
After all, if Xu Lai really wanted to kill him, it would be useless even if he gave him the Thunder God Talisman, let alone the Thunder God Talisman.
Fortunately, Lu Ji wasn't born yet, and even if she was, Xu Lai wouldn't dare to kill the kid rashly before the full moon.
After all, in this era, the probability of infant death is still very high.
It's the same even if you are born into an emperor's family.
"Boss, now that you leave, I will be the only one left in Lin'an Mansion. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it!"
Li Bo followed Xu Tong on horseback and left Lin'an Mansion, complaining to Xu Tong as he walked.
"What can't be done? You are now the commander-in-chief of the army and the object of Wu Jie's strong support. You took this opportunity to quickly recruit a group of cronies in the army. I have a hunch that when I go there, I will not be able to deal with it when I come back.
, our script is almost over this time.”
"ah??"
Li Bo was startled: "Isn't this too fast??"
Xu Tong rolled his eyes at him, but did not explain much to him. On New Year's Eve, the lone soul he brought back was none other than Si Tianjian's supervisor, Shen Kuo.
This Si Tian Jian is the name of Zai Tian Qian, and will also be called Qin Tian Jian from now on.
I don’t know if I’m involved with this organization, but I can meet people from this organization wherever I go.
Xu Tong made a deal with Shen Kuo, and Xu Tong promised to keep his Shen family safe if there were any changes in the future.
Shen Kuo told Xu Tong the reason why Emperor wanted to silence him.
I can't say it's a shocking secret, it's just a rather special date.
June twenty-three.
Of course, this date was not given out of hand, but was calculated by the entire Si Tianjian, which took more than two months of time and effort.
If there are no accidents, the comet hitting the moon on this day is a celestial phenomenon that only happens once in a hundred years.
The so-called comet actually refers to the broom star. This broom star is the last of the stars and represents disaster and ominousness.
When a comet strikes the moon, the luck of the world will be in chaos. At that time, whether it is the emperor or Xu Lai, everyone's luck will be in chaos. It is a good time to assassinate the king, kill the king, and cause disobedience.
As for other things, Shen Kuo didn't know.
He probably didn't expect that just a date would kill so many people.
It was even more unthinkable that this emperor, who was usually kind to others, would kill him, an old minister.
Although he had a chance to break out of the siege, he didn't dare and couldn't.
Because the Shen family is still in Lin'an Mansion, the whole family is here.
Si Tian Jian, like Qin Tian Jian, has always been an institution affiliated with the royal family in the past dynasties. It must be strictly supervised from birth to death.
It would be easy to kill him by himself, but he was afraid that no one in his family would survive, so he had no choice but to die and repay the emperor's favor.
Xu Tong asked himself that he was also from Qin Tian Prison, and the Master Shen in front of him could be regarded as a senior in the same industry, so he did not make things difficult for him, let alone take him to make alchemy. After the two reached an agreement, Xu Tong let him go and wished him well.
Reincarnate as soon as possible.
June twenty-three.
Xu Tong calculated the days in his mind, which was half a year. It seemed like a long time, but in fact it was just a matter of days.
The emperor now holds one of the most powerful innate divine fetuses in his hands, and as he is the emperor, this day poses the greatest threat to him, so he may need to take strict precautions.
But if it was really just to prevent trouble before it happened, why bother to kill Shen Kuo?
Xu Tong guessed that the most likely possibility was that the emperor wanted to kill Xu Lai.
Based on his understanding of Zhao Meng, this guy is definitely not an emperor willing to be a puppet.
Similarly, Xu Fan also said that Xu Lai and Xiao Leshan were also planning and preparing for this day.
What are the two waiting for all day?
Is it because of regicide, or is there another agenda?
At that time, all the threads were squeezed into this day, so Xu Tong concluded that this day must be dark.
If there were no accidents, it would definitely be a big fight, so Li Bo was asked to prepare early. After all, this fat man could always bring unexpected rewards to others at critical moments.
After explaining to Li Bo, Xu Tong jumped off the horse, summoned Xunlei and jumped on Xunlei's back, then jumped up and headed towards Yangzhou.
It's not the beginning of spring yet, and there's a lot of snow on the road. Looking around, you can see thousands of miles of white snow.
Xu Tong was not in a hurry to go to the Yangzhou camp. He estimated that it would take three to five days since the ministers in the imperial court were already arguing.
After they had finished arguing, no matter how fast they moved, it would not be easy to get Xu Fan, a sick man, out of the house. It would not take more than ten days in total.
He just took this opportunity to take the Chunyang Divine Distracting Pill, which not only enhanced the power of his soul, but also gave him more ability to protect himself when facing Xiao Leshan.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong opened his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, and he could see a thousand miles away. After scanning the surrounding area, he found a good place.
It is an unknown mountain.
The top of this mountain is already covered with thick snow, and the snow is white for thousands of miles, and there is no human habitation.
But halfway up the mountain, there was a different scene.
Not only was there no snow, but it was as green as spring. As the saying goes, there must be monsters when something is abnormal. Xu Tong used his clairvoyance and Mingyan Qimen to observe carefully and found that this place was actually a natural geomantic treasure.
There are green dragons on the left and right, Xuanwu standing behind, and white tigers in front. They are in the position of Zhengyang, where the yang energy of heaven and earth gathers, so it can be evergreen all year round.
Xu Tong signaled Xunlei to fly over and take a look. This place stood on a cliff. Ordinary people couldn't see it, let alone climb up.
He casually summoned the Pure Yang Sword, and struck it with two sword energy. Within a moment, a hole was cut here. After walking in, Xu Tong asked Xunlei to guard him outside.
Then he took out the [Pure Yang Distracting Pill] from the prop book and put it in his hand.
"What a pity! If such a good elixir can strengthen you to +9, it will probably bring about great fortune for me. However, if life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten, it can only be blamed on my lack of luck!
"
After Xu Tong said this, he no longer felt sorry, opened his mouth and threw the pill into his mouth...
At the same time, far away in Zhongdu in the north, there was the backyard of the mansion where Yeluqi lived.
I saw several naked maids being carried out of the room. After a while, Yeluqi walked out of the room refreshed and wearing a snow-white leather robe.
"Your Highness!"
Eunuch Chang was already standing behind the door waiting.
"You have done well in your errands recently. Go and pick out a few things from the inner treasury as rewards."
"His Highness' happiness is the greatest reward for this slave. It is more important than any gold and silver treasure."
Eunuch Chang pursed his lips and said.
Sometimes Yeluqi hates this Eunuch Chang to death, but he has to say that this guy is really comfortable to use.
Especially the flattery shots are very comfortable.
The admiration for oneself is like an endless stream of water.
Although it sounds very rough and shallow, he is not Xuan Kun as a Northern Man. Tian Qian is a sour Confucian, so he likes to hear this sound.
After tightening his clothes, Yeluqi led Eunuch Chang out of the courtyard, only to see Di Chou waiting in front.
After seeing Yeluqi coming, he hurried forward to pay his respects.
"Your Highness, how have you been these days?" Di Chou obviously had trouble practicing flattery.
Yeluqi snorted coldly; "Humph, what else can we do? The Yuanqi Temple has been built. How come there is no news about the reshaping of the body you mentioned at the beginning!"
Di Chou looked embarrassed, knowing that he had been slapped on the hoof by a horse, he quickly lowered his head: "Wait a moment, Your Highness, please don't be anxious. This matter is of great importance. I am not completely sure, so naturally I dare not let Your Highness get involved." risk!"
Di Chou has already figured out a way to reshape his body, but it is extremely dangerous. If something goes wrong, Xiao Leshan can slaughter his entire Yuan Qi Divine Sect.
Fortunately, Yeluqi now has the magic medicine sent by Eunuch Chang. Although it cannot be passed down to the next generation, the effect is still quite good.
So he wasn't as anxious about this matter as before.
After urging him to get it done as soon as possible, his voice changed:
"I heard from my uncle that Tian Qian plans to send envoys to the Northern Barbarians for peace talks. It's called peace talks, but it's actually blackmail. I don't care about this. I heard that guy will come too!"
The person Yeluqi spoke of was none other than Yang Hong, the Marquis of Shenwu whom he hated so much.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, if this person comes, he will definitely be carried around without food!"
Di Qiu was full of confidence. As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked someone to carry out the two prisoners.
I saw an extra piece of jade in his hand. With a twist of his finger, the jade was split into two, and then he placed it on the two prisoners, one on the left and one on the right, and explained to Yeluqi.
"This jade is the Lian Xin Jade. We only need to put the other half of this jade pendant on Yang Hong's body, and the other half on a prisoner's body. We only need to torture the prisoner to make Yang Hong feel the same way!"
"Oh, there is also such an effect!"
When Yeluqi heard this, he didn't expect that Di Qiu knew such crooked ways. It sounded like a good idea.
I will try it on these two prisoners immediately.
After Di Qiu hung the two jade pendants on the prisoners, he separated the two prisoners by more than ten meters. Yeluqi pulled out the dagger and was about to take action. At this time, he suddenly thought of something and handed the dagger to Eunuch Chang: "Hey, aren't you very skilled at craftsmanship? Just let me see it!"
Eunuch Chang was startled, then smiled and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to use a knife to deal with a shameless villain like Yang Hong."
I saw Eunuch Chang walking up to the prisoner, looking up and down with a smile, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed it, twisting it.
Even Di Chou on the side couldn't help but tighten his legs. The two prisoners were so heartbroken in pain that their eyes almost popped out. They fainted with a scream on the spot.
Eunuch Chang took out his silk scarf and brought the two steaming treasures in his hand to Yeluqi. He said with a smile, "Is your Highness satisfied with how we can defuse bombs with our bare hands?"
