Xie Xiangwen didn't hear Yuan Ziyan's words, but Chen Fangling did. Chen Fangling was Gao Xiuer's personal maid. After Gao Xiuer assassinated Yang Guang, Chen Fangling was also implicated, arrested, and taken to Yang Guang for trial. Unexpectedly, Yang
After seeing Chen Fangling's beautiful face, he fell in love with her on a whim. From then on, Chen Fangling took Gao Xiuer's position and became a beauty in Qiyin Courtyard.
Chen Fangling had tasted it, and she immediately became unhappy after hearing Yuan Ziyan's words, which would affect her "sexual happiness" life. However, Yuan Ziyan and Xie Xiangwen were close, and their status in the hospital was higher than Chen Fangling. Chen Fangling
He was quite scheming and did not point it out on the spot, but quietly told Xie Xiangwen, hoping to take the opportunity to provoke.
As expected, Xie Xiangwen found that the boat's speed had slowed down and had dropped to the fifth position. He frowned and asked, "Sister Yuan, why are you doing this?"
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Yuan Ziyan could only smile and said: "Sister, can you take a step to speak."
Xie Xiangwen thought that Yuan Ziyan was just trying to please Empress Xiao, so he followed her to the stern of the boat without thinking too much.
"My little sister is doing this for the sake of the sisters." But I heard Yuan Ziyan say, "My little sister has been observing the weather recently. The crape myrtle is dim in color and more prosperous than before. I'm afraid it will be next year, and the emperor may be in serious trouble!"
Xie Xiangwen was surprised and said: "Why didn't my sister tell me earlier?"
Yuan Ziyan shook his head and said: "This matter is of great importance. If it spreads, I am afraid that it will destroy the family. How can I dare to say it lightly? Alas, while you and I are not broken, I can save it for a while."
Ever since the assassination of Gao Xiuer, Yang Guang had been a little taboo about Qiyin Court and had never been there again. Except for Chen Fangling, who was favored by Yang Guang during his trial, no one in the hospital had ever been favored by Yang Guang.
Xie Xiangwen said suspiciously: "I remember you said a few days ago that you, me, and Shi Huiniang are all destined to the emperor. They are destined to suffer disaster and cannot escape it. Why did you say this again today? Could it be that you are watching?
wrong?"
Yuan Ziyan sighed: "The stars are not static, and the reason why is not very clear to me. I only remember a few days ago that a big star in the southeast was approaching Ziwei, but unexpectedly it turned to the northwest in the past few days."
Xie Xiangwen was doubtful when she suddenly heard cheers and sounds of regret on the lake. It turned out that the winner had been decided. When she looked up, it was Feng Ge from Jingmingyuan who came first.
Empress Xiao's phoenix race was originally in the front, but Empress Xiao was very smart. She knew that Yang Guang wanted to spend the night in the garden, so she released the water at the last moment, allowing Wang Guizhi to take the first place.
Yang Guang naturally saw that it was Empress Xiao who wanted to give in, so he felt sorry and said: "Queen, why don't you stay tonight too."
Empress Xiao was not willing to stay here as a light bulb and said with a smile: "Although the emperor is happy here, there are many things in the palace waiting for my concubine to go back to deal with."
Returning to the palace, Queen Xiao sighed quietly. She was over forty, in the age of the tiger and the wolf, so how could she be willing to stay alone in an empty room. It's just that Yang Guang has a violent personality and likes the new and dislikes the old. Now she can still keep her favor by following him.
, otherwise I'm afraid I will be relegated to the cold palace.
Empress Xiao had a gentle temperament. Although she was a little weak and did not dare to fight against Yang Guang, she was very kind-hearted. She came to her senses silently and asked the palace maid to go out to deliver the order and ask the officials who were still on duty in the front hall to come back early.
We won't need them today.
The attendant who was on duty in the front hall tonight was Li Mi. After receiving this order, he hurriedly thanked him and walked out of the palace gate. He lowered his head and walked very quickly, thinking in his mind whether to persuade Yang Xuangan to take action during the Western Expedition, but he did not
Beware of a figure appearing on the opposite side and running straight into it.
The black figure was already approaching, and Li Mi noticed it, and hurriedly dodged to the side. Unexpectedly, the man stumbled and ran straight into Li Mi's arms. Li Mi couldn't hold his feet back and fell to the ground.
But the man had sharp eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed him and said, "Master Li, be careful!"
Li Mi seemed to have clearly seen the person coming, and said hurriedly: "Oh, it's Mr. Ma. Look at me, I don't even have eyes when I'm walking, and I almost bumped into Mr. Ma."
The visitor was Ma Zhong, who was seriously injured by Liu Ziqiu. Yang Guang took good care of him, rewarded him with a large sum of gold and silver, and allowed him to return to his hometown. Ma Zhong was so grateful to Yang Guang that he still asked to continue to serve Yang Guang. Yang Guang
There were already two female guards, Fan Yu'er and Xue Ye'er, and they didn't want to use Ma Zhong anymore, but they couldn't resist his pleading, so they hired him as a palace supervisor. So Ma Zhong lived in the palace again.
After his body recovered a little, Ma Zhong went to the place where Liu Ziqiu jumped off the cliff to check, and only found some pieces of clothes. He was sure that the assassin was not dead, but the only suspicious target was Li Mi. But Li Mi was a scholar and did not know martial arts. But Ma Zhong
Unwilling to give up, I decided to give him a try.
One of them is Yang Guang's personal bodyguard, and the other is an aide-de-camp. They are familiar with each other, but they have nothing to do with each other, and they have not even exchanged a few words. Although the scene at this moment is a bit embarrassing, they have both seen big scenes.
After a few pleasantries, they dispersed.
Looking at Li Mi's back, Ma Zhong sneered: "Huh! Let's see how long you can keep pretending!"
When Ma Zhong bumped into Li Mi just now, he didn't use even 10% of his strength. Li Mi was eight feet tall and well-proportioned. How could he be knocked down? He was clearly trying to cover up something, which aroused Ma Zhong's suspicion.
…
Two days later, Yuchi Gong arrived at the military camp, bringing with him a Mo Dao and a set of cowhide armor. The cowhide armor was made by Yuchi Gong from a leatherworker in the town, while the Mo Dao was made by him himself. The blade was seven feet seven inches long.
The blade is three feet and three inches long, made entirely of fine steel, with a cold light shining at the tip and extremely sharp.
Liu Ziqiu took the Mo Dao and weighed it twice in his hand, but he noticed that Yuchi Gong was carrying a big baggage with two bamboo-sectioned steel whips stuck horizontally in the baggage, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, are you going on a far journey?
"
Yuchi said with a smile: "Second brother, you are right, I don't want to be a blacksmith all my life. I have decided to go back to Mayi and join the army!"
Liu Ziqiu reached into his arms and took out an ingot of gold, about twenty taels. He handed it over and said, "Brother, please keep this money first."
Yuchi Gong waved his hand and said: "My brother, how can I ask for your money? I gave you this Mo Dao. Just remember that I am your brother in the future."
Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "Brother, you misunderstood. I have no intention of paying. If you want to join the army, you have to move around. What can you do without money?"
The imperial court implemented the government army system. The government soldiers could be divided into fields and were exempted from taxes. Anyone who wanted to participate could not participate. If Yang Wanxiang hadn't wanted to find an opportunity to harm Liu Ziqiu, he wouldn't have been able to sneak into the military camp.
Yuchi Gong was a sensible man and did not refuse. He took the gold and stuffed it into the baggage. He cupped his hands and said, "Second brother, third brother, let's say goodbye here. See you later!"
Everyone was of a good nature, and there was no reluctance. They waved their sleeves and went their separate ways. Hua Yun stared at the Mo Dao in Liu Ziqiu's hand and frowned: "Second brother, the sword technique I taught you, you
It is no longer available."
Liu Ziqiu raised the Mo Dao high and struck a big tree in front of him with all his strength. The knife went like wind and there was a "click" sound, and the big tree broke into two pieces. Liu Ziqiu's eyes showed murderous intent and he said: "One force can cut down ten trees."
Yes, there is no need for any sword skills at all. As long as the power is strong enough, the attack is fast enough, and the strike is ruthless enough, if a god blocks it, he will kill a god, and if a Buddha blocks it, he will kill a Buddha!"
Hua Yun was startled and said, "Second brother, you can't say this nonsense."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything wrong. The gods and Buddhas will only help me, so how can they stop me?" Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Let everyone take a rest and buy more pigs.
The sheep come back and have a good year!"
While they were talking, a soldier shouted: "Liu Wu, General Liu is back!"
Liu Yu was the official leader of this group. He had already gone home to celebrate the New Year, but he still felt uneasy. He came over to take a look again, and saw soldiers fighting each other outside the military camp. He frowned and asked:
"Who asked you to practice?"
Liu Ziqiu had already rushed over, and when he heard Liu Yu's question, he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Come back to the general, I am the one who is good at making decisions."
Hua Yun was afraid that Liu Yu would punish Liu Ziqiu, so he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Return to the general, it is voluntary for everyone!"
All the soldiers also said in unison: "Return to the general, it is of our own free will!"
In fact, Liu Yu just asked and had no intention of punishing Liu Ziqiu, but the entire battalion of soldiers had already pleaded for Liu Ziqiu's mercy one by one. Even his two closest soldiers were now kneeling on the ground.
Liu Yu didn't expect that he had only been away for a few days, and all the soldiers in the camp turned towards Liu Ziqiu. He felt unhappy in his heart, but because of Han Shi'e's face, he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only say with a calm face: "Liu Ziqiu, you come with me
!”
As a brigade commander, Liu Yu's tent was separate. When he entered the tent, it was very clean, without a trace of dust. Liu Yu said with a straight face: "Who has been staying in X's tent these days?"
Liu Ziqiu cupped his hands and said: "No one lives there. I arranged for people to clean it. We are ready for the general to come back at any time."
It seems that this big man still understands the rules. Liu Yu relaxed his brows and asked: "Tell me, why do you organize soldiers to drill?"
Of course Liu Ziqiu would not tell him what he was thinking in his heart, but he would just repeat what he said to the soldiers.
Liu Yu nodded silently. He was able to become brigade marshal not because of his father's influence, but because he earned it with his swords and bullets on the battlefield. Because of this, he could tell at a glance that he had just fought.
The soldiers training outside the military camp absolutely devoted themselves wholeheartedly without any hesitation. In just a few days, Liu Ziqiu was able to mash nearly two hundred soldiers into a ball. This ability was inferior to Liu Yu's.
At first, Liu Yu wanted to use the topic to teach Liu Ziqiu a lesson in order to maintain his authority in the army. But now, he has seen that Liu Ziqiu is definitely not a thing in the pool, but he has a desire to make friends, so he calmed down and said,
He pointed to his side and said, "Come, sit down and talk."
Liu Ziqiu clasped his fists and said: "There is no marked seat in front of the general."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here, what's the problem?"
Liu Ziqiu stopped being pretentious and sat down next to Liu Yu with his legs crossed.
Liu Yu suddenly said seriously: "Liu Ziqiu, it is very inappropriate for you to train troops like this!"
