In Daxuan City, Jiang Yan first received the news that Lu Daoxuan was getting married. He was so happy that he took out all the fine wines in his collection and invited all his friends to drink at Tianshe Mansion.
Su Kou originally lived in Tianshe Mansion, Li Youlang came with Mei Xiaomei, and Shi Min's Zhao Suixianyan Youqin also arrived. Because of the special relationship between the Jiang family and the Wu Mansion, Jiang Yan also invited Wu Jinghai.
"Hurry up and sit down and drink. If you don't get drunk today, you won't give me face, except of course Yan Youqin."
Jiang Gu knew Yan Youqin's drinking capacity, but he fell unconscious after just a few drinks and beat him up.
"I'm just afraid that if I get drunk, you won't be able to stay with me," Wu Jinghai said with a smile.
"It's nonsense. I'm not bragging to you. In all my life, I have never met anyone who drinks better than me." Jiang Gu was very confident in his drinking capacity.
While the banquet was in full swing, a message came from the paper crane that someone was coming to visit Tianshe Mansion.
Seeing Jiang Gu put down his wine glass while having a drink with Wu Jinghai, Li Youlang asked
"What's wrong? Is this the end? I remember you're not that bad at drinking, right?"
"Zhao Zongchang? Why is he here?" Jiang Yan looked at Yan Youqin. Among these people, he was the only one who was closest to Zhao Zongchang because of his relationship with the Confucian government and the royal family.
"I didn't bring him here. I didn't tell him I was here." Yan Youqin waved his hand while sipping tea.
But the man had already arrived at the door. Regardless of Yan Youqin's face or courtesy, Jiang Yan still invited him to his house.
Zhao Zongchang was a little surprised to see Yan Youqin here, but he quickly adjusted and became very familiar with Yan Youqin's side to express his position.
"What is the purpose of the eldest prince coming here today?" Jiang Yan was a little surprised. No matter what, he shouldn't be here.
"Don't get me wrong, King Bei, I'm here to see Sui Xian."
Zhao Zongchang was also a little helpless. He was a little too arrogant in Yunhe Tower a few days ago, which made other people join forces to deal with him. Many people infiltrated inside and outside his house.
Especially Zhao Sui
He fights against the trend.
In particular, these people have been writing letters to impeach him in the past two days in the court. From everything in the past to his words and deeds, it seems that countless eyes are staring at him.
As the eldest prince of Xuan Kingdom, he had certainly done a lot of dirty things, many of which were hidden from the light, so he had no choice but to come to find Zhao Suixian in the hope of relaxing his situation.
"looking for me"
Zhao Suixian smiled and raised his glass. Of course he asked knowingly.
"I made some mistakes in Yunhe Tower a few days ago. Please don't mind. I'm here to make amends for you!" Zhao Zongchang picked up the wine glass and said.
“Easy to say, easy to say”
"I think it would be a good choice for both of us to join forces."
"Oh? Why do I think you are the biggest threat? Wouldn't it be better if I, Zhao Qingyang and Zhao Pingcheng join forces to get rid of you?" Zhao Suixian asked.
"Then why do you think they will be willing to help you? The eldest prince is the most powerful among the four princes, followed closely by you. With Jiang Yan's help and Zhao Guizhen's years of training, you two are the most promising to become the prince.
of.
In contrast, Zhao Pingcheng devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and was forced to fight for the throne. Zhao Qingyang had no help, and they were isolated in the court, so if they were to practice, they would be the biggest spoilers.
Aren't you worried that when you join forces to deal with the eldest prince, they will give you a knife?"
Yan Youqin seemed harmless to humans and animals, but every word he said was like a heavy hammer, waking up Zhao Suixian who was in the dark.
What Yan Youqin said was not groundless, but a reality that was very likely to happen. After all, neither of those two people was easy.
"Why don't you sweep out the idle people now to avoid any accidents, and then you two will have a strong showdown to decide who should inherit the throne?"
Zhao Sui
However, he still glanced at Jiang Yan, and when he saw him nodding, he was ready to agree.
The powerful forces joined forces, and just as the two sides were preparing to celebrate, circles of ripples suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Suixian and Jiang Yan, and a red fish appeared in front of them.
The two of them each took out the fish book and took a look at it. Their expressions quickly changed from the relaxed look to a frosty expression. Jiang Gu clenched his fists tightly.
The news he received was of course the death of Meng Kuyin and the complete break between the Wen and Confucian families.
"Third brother, King Bei, let's celebrate our joining forces with this drink." Zhao Zongchang picked up the wine glass.
Seeing that Zhao Suixian didn't answer, Jiang Yan stood up and issued an order to expel the guests.
"Zhao Zongchang, Yan Youqin, you two should leave. Although we have some friendship, we may have to decide whether to live or die next time we meet."
Jiang Yan's attitude was a bit strange. He was talking and laughing just now, but why did he turn against him at this moment?
"Can I see the fish letter?" Yan Youqin guessed that there must be some news from the fish letter.
"It doesn't matter, you have to know in the end anyway."
Yan Youqin also frowned after reading it. Kong Kaiping was a Confucian scholar. It was impossible for him not to know what killing Meng Kuyin meant.
"Is there any hidden secret in this?"
"No matter what the secret is, Mr. Wei has decided to go to war with the Confucian government. Meng Kuyin is such a good gentleman..."
Jiang Yan's voice was low. Before leaving Yunzhou, Meng Kuyin saved his life. He still never imagined that that gentle and elegant man would actually die in Yunlu!
Jiang Yan's words aroused everyone's attention. Is the Wen Mansion going to war with the Confucian Mansion?
In the past thousand years, the eight palaces have been relatively peaceful, and it is unprecedented for the two palaces to go to war completely.
However, after reading the fish book, the mystery in everyone's minds was finally solved. Killing Wenfu's edict would be a big problem that would bring down the sky!
"Brother Three Emperors, this is a conflict between the Eight Prefectures."
Zhao Zongchang still wanted to turn the feud with Zhao Suixian into friendship, but Zhao Suixian also had a clear attitude.
"The emperor left me in Yunzhou when I was a child. It was a scribe who taught me painting, a scribe who taught me how to read, and a scribe who taught me spiritual practice. I am the third prince of Daxuan, but before that, I was first
A scribe!"
A letter sealing fish was spread, shocking the world.
In the mountains and fields, a person sits in front of the mountain, watching the clouds roll and relax, capturing the subtle differences in the mountain scenery in the four seasons. The mystery of heaven and earth seems to lie in the gathering and dispersing of clouds and mist.
He had been sitting and watching for ten years, and now he finally had some understanding. When a red fish book arrived in front of him, he finally stood up from his seat, and the vast murderous intention burst out and opened a hole in the entire sky.
"Xihe..."
In the Xunxunfang of Discord City, a man was reciting poems and writing with ink, and he was holding a charming woman in his arms. Everyone was praising this man for his romanticism.
But after he received the fish book, the entire Xunxunfang fell into a dead silence.
The pen in the man's hand swung out several lines of ink, which were like dragons and directly penetrated the chests of the two people who were drinking with him just now.
"If you're to blame, blame it on you being Confucian scholars."
Since Wei Changli took charge of the Wen Mansion, he spent the past eight hundred years concentrating his energy and not competing with the world, but he has cultivated countless strong men.
Meng Kuyin's death finally made this terrifying machine that had dominated Yuling Continent for two thousand years start running again.
Meng Ku recited poems and teachings from the Wenfu. There were many people in the world who could defeat him, but no one dared to kill him because he represented the Wenfu.
Kong Kaiping actually dared to take action. Was it on his own initiative? Or was it ordered by Xihe? Or was there another hidden agenda?
Wei Changli didn't need to know, he only needed to know the result, which was that Meng Kuyin died at the hands of Kong Kaiping.
Wei Changli transformed into a dodge of light and walked against the wind, followed by thousands of scribes, washing the sky with mighty force.
From the Qing capital to Yunlu, scribes who received fish books came one after another and joined the team to conquer Xihe.
In addition, looking at the twenty-three cities in Yunzhou, almost all of them are preparing for war, and the twenty-three prefects are preparing their troops and armor to move south.
The entire Yunzhou must seek justice for Meng Kuyin.
Wei Changli stood on the clouds, overlooking the rich and rich clouds that contained the rich heritage of Wenfu.
Zhou Xiaoshi was covered in plain clothes, carrying Meng Kuyin, whose blood had dried up and had been dead for a long time, on his back. He prostrated himself in front of Wei Changli and cried loudly.
"Master Wei, I beg Master Wei to avenge my master!"
Zhou Xiaoshi was already crying. From his childhood to joining the Wenfu, he paid a price that ordinary people could not imagine and endured humiliation that ordinary people could not bear. It was not that he wanted to give up on himself, but that he had to give up everything, including his body, if he wanted to get ahead.
and dignity, every step is filled with bitterness and tears.
It wasn't until he met Meng Kuyin, who was not only his teacher, but more like his father. Not only did he never dislike him, but he doted on him, Zhou Xiaoshi felt that he was living like a human being in the past few years.
When he finished the preface of comprehending Yunxi, he wanted to tell Meng Kuyin what he had learned as soon as possible, but what he saw was a corpse!
Wei Changli suppressed his anger and patted Zhou Xiaoshi on the shoulder.
"Yunlu Confucian scholars, leave no one behind, kill them all!"
"People in Yunlu who aspire to learn Confucianism and become Confucian should not be embarrassed to let them leave."
"Master Wei, what if they don't leave?" Fu Baoshan asked,
"Yunlu is the foundation created by our scribes and forefathers. If they are stubborn and refuse to leave, they will leave no place but no one!"
The tolerance of the scribes was only for the people of Yunzhou, not the murderer's vassals.
Fierce battles also broke out among the scribes and Confucian scholars in Daxuan City. Lu Tanwei, holding a scroll, was fighting fiercely with an old Confucian from Daxuan City outside the city.
Both of them are great masters in the Taoist realm, as well as world-famous painters and Confucian scholars. At this moment, they are engaged in a life-and-death duel because of Wei Changli's fish letter and because of Meng Kuyin's death.
There was a child wearing a bellyband with a bell around his neck and bare feet not far away. He was watching the fight between the two and applauded.
"Yeah, yeah!"
"One is a great painter from the Wen Dynasty, and the other is a Confucian scholar. The life and death battle between these two people is really exciting."
"You've been feeling a disgusting aura just now, and you finally couldn't help but pop out?"
The child's smile suddenly faded, and when he looked back, he saw that the person was actually Zu Wannian!
This harmless child actually let out a sinister laugh, and looked at Zu Wannian with bright eyes, as if looking at a rare toy, and then walked towards Zu Wannian step by step with outstretched hands.
"The corpse is enlightened and the ancestors live forever?"
"I'm interested in you, no, I'm very interested in you," Zu Wannian said.
"What a coincidence. I'm also very interested in your body. It's a treasure..."
The child flicked his fingers slightly, and the arm of Zu Wannian's almost indestructible body was cut off directly.
However, Zu Wannian's expression remained unchanged as he picked up the arm from the ground and put it back on again.
"I have no hostility towards you. I am here to meet the boss of your Baihu Nine Elders Association."
"He has always been the only one who can see other people. Of course, if you can leave me alive, it proves that you are qualified to see him, but I don't think you can do that."
Zu Wannian's expression was stiff, but he was very fast. In just the blink of an eye, Zu Wannian was behind the child, and his fingernails were as sharp as knives and he grabbed at his neck.
The child didn't seem to react. When he saw the sharp claws falling on his body, Zu Wannian's body froze in place.
"Why don't you be my toy from now on?"
While the child was dancing, Zu Wannian's body suddenly broke into seven or eight pieces, and one of his claws directly grabbed his neck.
But Zu Wannian discovered that what he held in his hand did not look like a physical body, but more like a piece of cold and smooth jade.
"If you only have this ability, it would be too disappointing." The child looked a little disappointed.
"As expected, every member of the Baihu Nine Elders Association is as powerful as a monster," Zu Wannian said.
"Old Chen, please don't embarrass him. How can he be your opponent now?"
A man wearing a cloud-patterned mask appeared next to Zu Wannian, and this kid was actually called Lao Chen.
"Boss? Why are you here?"
"There is still one last vacancy in the Jiulao Association, and we have never found a suitable candidate."
"Are you going to accept him? He is too weak."
"This is the Wushuang Corpse Enlightenment, one of the ancient immortal enlightenments. If you give him enough blood, you may not be his opponent in the future," said the man with the cloud-patterned mask.
"I need blood, and the more special the blood, the more excited I am. Those monsters from the Baihu Nine Elders Association, their blood will definitely transform me. If I said I need your blood, you still let me
Do you want to join?" Zu Wannian asked.
"Of course, what the Nine Elders Association needs is people like you, who are ambitious and not afraid. What I'm most worried about is that you don't have the strength to match your ambition.
Corpses have endless potential for enlightenment, but I advise you not to have such thoughts now, and don't provoke them, because those people have very weird tempers, and any one you pick can tear you into pieces."
The popularity of this cloud-patterned mask is extraordinary, and his words reveal infinite confidence.
Even though he knew Zu Wannian's conspiracy and terrifying enlightenment ability, he dared to keep him by his side. He was obviously very sure of his own strength.
"Okay, I'm joining"
"Smart man, you collect blood from now on. If you run into trouble, we will help you deal with it, but at the same time I will also give you some tasks. If you fail to complete them, your end will be 10,000 times worse than Zu Wannian!"
The man in the cloud-patterned mask warned.
"And you, Old Chen, the Wen Mansion and the Confucian Mansion have completely gone to war, and things in Daxuan City have to be accelerated. You can't delay my important events."
"Don't worry, boss, but I heard that the goddess of Baiyang Sect has also arrived."
"Their goal is to get Jiang Yan. It is not appropriate for us to fall out with the Baiyang Sect just yet, so you can't directly kill Jiang Yan. But you can kill someone with a borrowed knife. The only requirement is that they cannot succeed!"
"Don't worry, I will make those who deserve to die die inexplicably."
