The stratus clouds are purple, and the evening light is yellow.
The setting sun evenly coated the city of Luoyang, which had been busy all day, with a layer of gold.
On the bank of the Tongyuan Canal, which stretches from east to west, the killings stopped early. The fishy wind carried moisture and passed through everyone's mouths and noses, with a trace of nauseating putrid odor.
Everyone was talking loudly, frowning and waving their hands, inciting the air in front of them, and finally began to feel a deep sense of disgust from the bottom of their hearts towards Tongyuan Canal, which they had been fighting for for a long time.
Yuan Zai's nose was almost crooked with anger. The reason he thought about it over and over again and decided that he was willing to betray Prince Li Shi to save face was because he had the idea of "substituting one thing for another". Moreover, these monks and nuns who came with him today were originally invited by him.
He came to seize the power of the "Sword Like Water". Now he only had to send away the chattering crowd and drag the "male and female tyrants" back to Yingchuan. The sword box and the two bandits would still be his spoils.
However, when Tian Chengsi, the prince of Yanmen County, revealed his inner plan, how could he not become angry? How could he not become angry?
Immediately he couldn't hold it back anymore, he poked a finger out of the sleeve of his purple robe, trembling like chaff and said: "Tian Chengsi! Don't judge a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain! You surnamed Tian are used to courting Qin, Mu, and Chu, repeatedly
Because of the impermanence of things, do you think that everyone in the world is as shameless as you, with no lower limit?!"
Tian Chengsi put his hands on his hips and laughed angrily: "Hmph! With Yuan Xiang's character, how can he be qualified to accuse Tian of having no limits? Yuan Xiang has four sins, and no one in the court knows about them, but Yuan Xiang is proud of them.
You don’t even know it!
First, the original surname of Yuan Xiang was Jing. Because his biological mother remarried and he admired the power of his stepfather, he happily changed his surname to Yuan. This was an act of unfilial piety and forgetfulness of ancestors!
Secondly, Yuan Xiang initially studied the Taoist scriptures and knew everything, and was highly appreciated by Xuanzong. Later, in order to cater to Suzong's favor, he changed his teachings to the Buddhist scriptures of Shimen and refused to extricate himself. This was an act of flattery and disloyalty!
Thirdly, the Prime Minister Yuan and Li Fuguo’s wife Yuan recognized their ancestry, and they were supported by Li Fuguo before they were promoted to official positions. Later, they actually conspired to kill him. This is a crime of ingratitude and injustice!
Fourthly, after Yuan Xiangshu Sage eradicated the powerful eunuch Yu Chaoen, he was already inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, but he did not want to carefully assist in government affairs. Instead, he was arrogant and extravagant, and the party was against those who were different. This is arrogance based on favor, and it is an unkind crime.
!
Such a person who is so unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, unjust, deceives the superiors and deceives the inferiors, and brings disaster to the country and the people, yet he dares to speak arrogantly in front of Mr. Tian, talking about propriety, justice and integrity, a gentleman and a villain?! Bah!"
After Tian Chengsi finished cursing, he felt refreshed and hearty. It seemed that all the depression he had accumulated for a long time was swept away. A sense of awe came straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He suddenly felt that Weibo Town, where he lived, was the place with abundant products.
It is a country where all people live in harmony.
Prince Li Shi, "White Mountain Man" Li Changyuan, Henan Yin Xiaojing and others stood aside, dumbfounded. They suddenly felt that although Tian Chengsi's character had always been despised, his "generous speech" was actually quite a bit...
Reason! The Yuan Zai, who is greedy for power and loves money, has been completely refuted and his body is completely useless.
Even Xiping County Prince Shu Yao, who had just been scolding Tian Chengsi for a long time, couldn't help but secretly sighed. Fortunately, he had never done anything ridiculous in his life as a general. Otherwise, would he have been scolded by Tian Chengsi just now?
Vomiting several liters of blood and feeling ashamed?
Yuan Zai's orifices were filled with smoke, his old face turned the color of pig liver from suppressing the pressure. He pointed at Tian Chengsi with angry eyes, "You, you, you" for a long time, and finally he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Yang Chaoxi, who was trapped in the "Yunluo Sky Net" for a long time and was speechless, looked at the noisy and chaotic canal bank, and Yuan Zai who fainted, and felt that the world is huge and full of wonders. I thought that when I was young, I heard the old man in the village say
Most of the late Han Dynasty stories told by Wang Tongru, such as "The Marquis of Wuxiang scolded Wang Lang to death" and "Zhang Fei broke the Dangyang Bridge" were exaggerated by later generations. Today, it seems that they may not be groundless.
Behind him, Liu Xiaomu remained indifferent, sitting cross-legged, exercising and regulating his breath. The warm touch penetrated his back and reached his heart. For a moment, his heart itched and his body felt numb for no apparent reason. It was like being drunk for the first time, or waking up from a big dream.
This subtle touch was extremely pleasant! Yang Zhaoxi immediately forgot about the noisy surroundings and concentrated on savoring it.
After Tian Chengsi finished speaking, the noise on the bank of the canal became more and more intense.
As soon as Yuan Zai collapsed, two Yingwu military lieutenants rushed up to him, helped him, and carried him on his shoulders. They also complained to Prince Li Shi and then left in a hurry.
When Tian Chengsi saw that Yuan Zai was so angry that he fainted, he was also surprised. He immediately put away his wild and rogue attitude, raised his hands to Prince Li Shi from a distance and said: "Who should hold the sword? I hope His Highness will uphold justice."
Prince Li Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said quietly: "I wonder what Abbot Lingche has to say?"
Abbot Lingche was neither happy nor angry. He clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha! Although I have done great work in catching bandits, I really don't dare to specialize in how to deal with the treasures. Everything depends on His Highness's instructions."
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but secretly curse Abbot Lingche as an "old fox" in their hearts. His Highness the Crown Prince asked him for advice, but he pretended to be dumbfounded, avoided talking, and kicked the ball back again.
The prince also felt helpless and had no choice but to turn his attention to Li Changyuan and Xiao Jing, signaling the two of them to make a plan quickly to solve this urgent matter. Li Changyuan's eyes turned slightly, he had already made a plan, but he was limited by his identity and might not be able to convince everyone.
, then he leaned close to Xiao Jing's ear and whispered. Xiao Jing's eyebrows jumped and twisted, sometimes tightening and sometimes loosening. When the prince looked at it, he also looked confused and didn't know why.
After a while, Xiao Jing dusted off his clothes, relaxed his eyebrows, and bowed to everyone: "Everyone, you heroes! I am Xiao Jing from Henan Yin. Please listen to me."
Seeing that the crowd's noise was gradually dwindling, Xiao Jingcai said slowly, "Everyone who came here today after hearing the news did not hesitate to risk their lives, which shows that they are diligently pursuing the 'Rushui Sword'. However, today is still some time away from the ninth day of April. If the sword is
If the box is handed over to the camp, the vassal town, the Daomen, the Shimen, or the knights, any one of them will be in charge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the crowd.
Therefore, I thought of a compromise: just hang the sword box in full view of the public, and then ask all parties to send five people from each side to gather at the place where the sword is hung, and guard it day and night, and never leave, so that we can ensure
This 'Rushui Sword' will not be dropped by anyone who is interested. When the ninth city opens in early April, all parties will take it and send it to the square stage of the 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference'. I wonder if this method is feasible?"
After hearing this, everyone thought for a moment and then nodded their heads. Then they started arguing endlessly about where the place should be "in full view", each holding his or her own opinion:
Some people suggested that the sword box should be hung on the owl tail of the long Xiamen city tower. Some people suggested that the sword box could be placed in the Drum Tower of Zhengpingfang. Some people suggested that the sword box should be hung on the plaque of Nanshi archway. Some people even suggested hanging it on the imperial palace.
Under the eaves of the gate at the end of the city, with the crown prince's defense, no one dared to make trouble... They fought back and forth, but they couldn't agree on one thing.
Seeing this, Xiao Jing had no choice but to say again: "My official is Henan Yin. If you can trust me, you might as well hang the sword box on the screen wall opposite the Henan government office. The front door of the government office is wide open, making it difficult to ambush killers. It is carefully crafted and sufficient."
Heroes from all sides gathered together to keep watch; secondly, our Henan Mansion has no intention of seizing the sword, and we can also order unscrupulous guards to patrol around and expel idlers. What do you think?"
After a long while, everyone couldn't argue with Chou Yin Mao. Seeing that Xiao Jing's suggestion was quite reasonable, they all agreed one after another.
With all the calculations settled, everyone finally turned their attention to the "gold and silver mesh".
Tian Chengsi gritted his teeth and said, "These two bandits have killed and wounded many of our vassal soldiers in Weibo Town. Even if their corpses were broken into thousands of pieces, it would be difficult to satisfy the hatred in my heart! Please allow me, the Tianxiong Guards, to take action so that the two bandits can be shot."
Kill, then open the net and get the sword."
Ge Shu Yao also had a gloomy look on his face: "The two bandits first tried to please others by grandstanding, but then showed their ferocity and took the sword by force. They really deserve to be killed! Our infantry team can also take action and shoot these two bandits like hedgehogs, and then hang them outside the Dingding gate to expose them.
Leave the corpse for three days. I won’t bother Prince Yanmen with this matter.”
Li Changyuan saw that the two county princes were full of murderous intent and wanted to quickly eliminate the "male and female hegemons". He quickly handed over his hands and said: "Today's melee between all parties has resulted in countless casualties. If we can really sort it out one by one, not only the two bandits should be killed?"
Among our people from all sides, it is hard to escape the blame, and those who should die to apologize for their sins must not be less than a hundred.
These two bandits also came here to seize the sword. I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but the damage done is really limited. It's just that they are alone and fall into the trap, so they will be executed by us first. The subsequent death between the parties will be
When it comes to revenge, should we retaliate or write it off completely?
Therefore, Pindao dares to suggest that today's grievances between the parties are put aside for the time being, so as not to be criticized as suppressing the opponent in advance and clearing the obstacles. After the "Shendu Martial Arts Conference" on the ninth day of April, all parties will have vengeance and revenge.
,how?"
Abbot Lingche and several monks and nuns looked at each other, understood immediately, and clasped their hands together in salute, saying: "Excellent! What Master Changyuan said makes sense. Although the two bandits are stubborn and reckless, their crimes will not lead to death. I actually thought that if I wanted to use the sword
The box is hung on the shadow wall of the government office, so that the two of them can be imprisoned in the prison of Henan government office. After the ownership of 'Rushui Sword' is determined, it will not be too late to deal with it by all parties..."
Seeing the setting sun fading away, everyone expressed their opinions and it became lively again.
"Kekeke..."
A burst of clear and melodious laughter, like a sudden appearance in the bustling crowd, immediately attracted everyone's attention. After laughing for a while, the woman continued, "One monk, two Qiu Ba, plus
You bunch of wallflowers... I’m really laughing my ass off! Why do you think you can decide the life or death of my ‘male and female hegemons’ with their red lips and white teeth? Have you asked me? Haha!”
Abbot Lingche's face straightened up, and he immediately shouted: "Monster! I don't want to kill, so I just told you a few words, don't ask for trouble!"
After Abbot Lingche finished drinking, Tian Chengsi, Ge Shuyao and others all glared angrily at the person who made the noise on the Internet, and began to yell and curse. In an instant, cynicism and obscene words were poured on Liu Xiaomu like a wasp exploding its nest.
Down.
Liu Xiaomu sneered, and used the "Jiu Shao Eight Sound Technique" again, with surging breath and fierceness: "Here, mother, shut up!"
The sound waves were like roaring waves, instantly rolling up a sound wall several feet high, with the "Yun Luo Tian Net" as the center of the circle, shooting in all directions.
