I have a volume of demons

Chapter 213 This young man
While Ji Dong was busy falling in love, the world was full of disputes.

Liang Wang Xiaozhao went south quietly at sunrise, not only brought thousands of horses with him, but also secretly mobilized the army.

Emperor Xiao Qian was not idle either, he arrived at Lu Yuanhua's residence overnight according to Prime Minister Gu Siming's instructions.

Lu Yuanhua lived on a small hill outside the capital. The hill was not well-known, but because Lu Yuanhua built a study on the hill, anyone who was interested could go up the hill to borrow books and read, so the locals also called it Book Mountain.

Entering the mountain is the path paved with bluestone slabs.

This stone path is not simple. Every step you take, the pressure will increase a lot. Of course, it will be within the tolerance range of ordinary people. The stronger your will and the stronger your desire to learn, the more you can overcome this heavy pressure.

This is also an arrangement that Lu Yuanhua deliberately made in order to avoid many people seeking fame and fame from disturbing his quietness here, and also to give the real hard-studied people a chance.

But no matter what formation, it became a display in front of the real dragon emperor. Xiao Qian and his entourage and guards went all the way to the top of the mountain unimpeded, and came to the Yuanhua study.

Before Xiao Qian knocked on the door, the door opened by itself. An old man with white hair and childlike face, dressed in a black robe and a blue scarf, bowed his hands in salute in the courtyard.

"The Son of Heaven came to the humble house and did not greet him far away. Please forgive me."

With Lu Yuanhua's status, of course he doesn't have to kneel when he sees the Son of Heaven. This kind of politeness is beyond Xiao Qian's expectation. He thought that Lu Yuanhua would avoid him, but he never expected him to be so polite.

Xiao Qian also said politely: "Mr. Lu is serious. You are a respected elder. Don't blame me for coming uninvited and disturbing me at night. I am already very pleased."

"How dare the grassroots, Your Majesty, the night outside is cold and dewy, why don't you come in and have a cup of hot tea, speak slowly! Please."

Lu Yuanhua politely led Xiao Qian into the house, and Xiao Qian also wisely asked his followers not to follow him, and when he entered, he closed the door behind him.

The two sat facing each other, and Lu Yuanhua made tea with his hands. The method of making tea was very ordinary, like a mortal. If they didn't know his strength, no one would know that such an ordinary little old man would be one of the few top-ranking ones in the world. one.

"Mr. Lu, you must have guessed the reason for my visit."

Time was tight, so Xiao Qian didn't fix those nonsense, let alone Gu Siming's introduction, there was no need to engage in those twists and turns, he just got straight to the point.

Lu Yuanhua was still making tea, and only replied when serving tea: "Your Majesty, Caomin can only send you a sentence, 'God's will is hard to break, and the general trend is hard to change'."

This is what rejection means.

Practitioners like to say that they follow the will of God when doing things. Whether they are cultivators or court officials, they are all metaphysical thinking. If you follow the will of God, everything will go smoothly, and if you don’t follow the will of God, everything will fail.

But now, Liang Wang rebelled and Chao Gang was overthrown, which became the will of God.

Anyway, it is not uncommon to change the dynasty. The last time the dynasty changed was only 25 years ago.

"What if I insist on asking you to help me?"

Xiao Qian said as if joking.

But where the emperor would make a joke casually, the joke was also the truth.

Faced with such persecution, Lu Yuanhua still calmly said: "I can kill someone for you, but doing so will not do any good to His Majesty."

Xiao Qian laughed three times and said: "Mr. Lu misunderstood, I don't want you to kill people, on the contrary, I want you to protect someone."

"?"

Even though Lu Yuanhua has a lot of research on Confucian classics and is very good at Yishu, he can't figure out what Xiao Qian wants to do.

Seeing his puzzled face, Xiao Qian said slowly: "As early as the day I became emperor, I knew that sooner or later the world would be turned upside down. I just didn't expect that this day would come so late."

Lu Yuanhua: "..."

Can't tell, this emperor is quite far-sighted, not an idiot.

Just a little uninspired.

Otherwise, as an emperor, Liang Wang gave him 18 years. Instead of governing the country well, he only practiced Taoism every day and favored his concubine. The country did not improve at all, but more and more power was lost to Liang Wang. inside.

Originally, King Liang had only a few important towns in the north and some military power in his hands. Now, a large number of states and counties in the south, as well as states and counties in the west, have mostly fallen into the hands of King Liang.

At the beginning of Xiao Qian's reign as emperor, he was at a [-]-[-] split from King Liang. Although his military strength was far inferior, his political and economic differences were not that great.

Now, Xiao Zhao controls almost two-thirds of the states and counties, while the emperor and his court only control less than one-quarter, and the rest are waiting to be seen and sold.

However, these things are not absolute. If the emperor hadn't been so unwilling to make progress, I'm afraid King Liang would have rebelled long ago, and he wouldn't have thought about encroaching every year. If he rebelled directly, it would still be difficult for the emperor to win.

Lu Yuanhua sighed in his heart, retracted his previous evaluation of Xiao Qian, and heard Xiao Qian say: "People have life and death, so does the country. The country is about to perish.

At this time, I don't want to commit more crimes, so I ask you to save one person instead of killing one person. Will you agree? "

"Who do you want me to save?"

"Gu Siming's grandson, Gu Tingxuan."

"Oh? Why does Your Majesty want to protect him alone?"

Lu Yuanhua was really confused at the moment, the emperor had quite a few sons, why did he only protect Gu Tingxuan?

"Gu Xiang has worked hard for the court and for me all his life. In the future, the mountains and rivers will be broken, and the civil and military of the whole dynasty may survive. Only Gu Xiang can't escape the fate of ransacking his family and destroying his ancestors. There is nothing I can do for him. I want to keep him alive."

"His Majesty……"

Lu Yuanhua couldn't help being moved at this moment.

He was born in Confucianism, even though he has entered the path, he has never let go of the sages and sages. After leaving the court, he still cares about the court

The emperor Xiao Qian is indeed a little incompetent, but just because he is willing to do this for the old minister, it is worth the minister's life and forgetting to die.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that Lu will definitely protect Gu Tingxuan."

"Okay, as long as you agree, I have to hurry up and prepare to escape."

Lu Yuanhua: "..."

Your Majesty, are you so real?
From Xiao Qian's inconspicuous performance, he can already see how Gu Siming usually suffers from cerebral hemorrhage.

Watching Xiao Qian leave, Lu Yuanhua still hadn't recovered a bit.

This young man...

When Xiao Qian left Shushan and returned to the palace, it was already dawn.

Just after entering the palace, someone from the palace came to report that Siyou, the chief of Jingyesi, had sent a secret letter.

The head of the Jingye Division usually would not meet the emperor, but this violent institution of the imperial court was not loyal to the imperial court. Its intention was to be loyal to the country.

When the imperial court changes, Jing Yesi will immediately take refuge in the next imperial court. In the ancient Zhou Dynasty, to the Qin and Han Dynasties, this system was the same.

Jing Yesi usually doesn't get involved in political affairs, unless it involves his own business.

At this critical moment, Si You sent Xiao Qian a secret letter, which said that what Lu Ningchuan did was likely to be bewitched by the monks of the enemy's country, with the intention of instigating civil strife in the court.

Si You has sent the famous arrester Gohun to Xingsha City to investigate.

There is no suggestion given here, Si You is also a smart person, knowing that under the general trend, the result is not important.

But Jing Yesi's duties still had to be fulfilled. Even if King Liang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor tomorrow, he still had to do it, but the person who reported to him changed from Xiao Qian to Xiao Zhao.

it's the same.

Xiao Qian read the letter and burned it casually.

After a little thought, Xiao Qian came to his senses again, and ordered: "Immediately send an order to Siyou to send a copy of this news to the King of Liang, and draw up an order to order the border troops to be on alert and beware of foreign enemies at any time."

Xiao Zhao's main advantage is the brave frontier army. If the frontier army does not move, the pressure from the court will naturally be more careful.

Come to think of it, in order to protect his reputation, Xiao Zhao absolutely did not dare to move the frontier army rashly.

"I've done what I should do, it's time to leave."

Xiao Qian thought about it, and felt that he had nothing to deal with. If he didn't run away at this time, he might not be able to escape.

He didn't intend to take away the people in the harem. What will happen in the future is all their luck.

It's not true that when someone can run away, they drag their families with them, right?
……

In the south of Xingsha City, Lin Yi received another letter from King Liang, ordering him to kill Xiao Se immediately. Of course Lin Yi couldn't kill his good brother, so he just pretended not to receive it.

However, judging from Liang Wang's increasingly eager tone, he seemed to be rushing for some date.

I'm afraid that Liang Wang is too anxious, if he finds someone else besides his own way, it will be bad.

It's not easy for Ji Dong to be Xiao Se's bodyguard. There are a lot of things at home. He Dong is now sealed, and there are people with unknown origins pretending to be her. Ji Dong wants to rescue her quickly.

Wang Jinxuan's deadline is September [-]th, and Master Qu Jing's Yuanshen is still injured, everyone needs his care, plus Xiao Se, he is really at a loss.

Ji Dong felt that the highest priority was to save He Dong.

It's a pity that Wu Yun is not strong enough, and he himself can't figure out the depth of the fake He Dong, and he doesn't know what the other party's cultivation level is. It's too dangerous to do things by himself.

Had to find a helper.

Ji Dong flipped through the spectrum of subduing demons, and it really made Ji Dong find a hidden helper.

He turned the page of Bai Lianxian, just in time to see Bai Lianxian's state.

"Lucking underground, secretly observing the preferences and living habits of your sweetheart, and ready to scare him at any time."

Lin Yi: "..."

This Bai Lianxian is really not a serious demon king, who would have thought that she would not go home after parting, and actually went into hiding.

Immediately, taking advantage of no one's attention, Ji Dong burrowed into the ground.

However, his actions also fell into Bai Lianxian's eyes. Seeing Ji Dong suddenly fleeing the ground, Bai Lianxian certainly didn't believe that he had been discovered, so he hid carefully in a ball.

you can't see me you can't see me...

"Sister Xian'er..."

　ps: The challenge is successful... emmm, try to set a bigger goal tomorrow,
