Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 557
In the Canglong Hall, Liang Jixiong adjusted his breath, dressed neatly, and prepared to go to Yinggeyuan.

Tai Bu's old man is missing, so Jinghan can't let Jinghan guard the vacant room alone every night.

Liang Jixiong had just left the house when he suddenly heard someone calling softly from behind: "Second brother, where are you going?"

Liang Jixiong turned his head, but saw a strong man with a beard standing behind him.

After looking at it for a while, Liang Jixiong saw through Xu Zhiqiong's disguise technique.

"Zhiqiong, why are you back? I'm worried that these days are not peaceful, so I'm planning to visit the palace."

Xu Zhiqiong said in a low voice: "That's what we're talking about, let's go in and discuss it in detail."

Liang Jixiong glanced into the distance, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Okay."

……

After entering the Canglong Palace, Liang Jixiong frowned when he told about the Nufu Cult's plan to kidnap the emperor.

"You are extremely worried. The Nufu Sect must still be holding back. The palace is not safe. I will take the emperor to the Canglong Palace tonight."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and was about to leave.

Liang Jixiong was still a little worried: "Your side, with Artist Li and Doctor Han following, there shouldn't be any mistakes."

"Second brother, don't worry, I have a measure."

Liang Jixiong said: "If Commander Zhong is still able to fight, then there will be no worries in this battle."

Although Commander Zhong can't fight, he can still contribute.

In the middle of the night, Xu Zhiqiong and Xia Hu sneaked into the Imperial City Department, entered the bedroom, and quietly woke up Zhong Shen.

Zhong Shen was startled and opened his eyes.

Xu Zhiqiong lowered his voice and said: "Commander, don't make any noise, don't wake Miss Pan."

Pan Shuihan was falling asleep next to Zhong Shen. She was exhausted these days, and she slept very soundly.

Zhong Shen's lips moved, and he looked at Xu Zhiqiong in surprise.

Looking at each other for a moment, Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "It turns out that the commander can't speak. This matter is much easier to handle. Commander, we are going to fight a battle here. If you want to get some weapons at hand, you should You won't say no to it?"

Zhong Shen didn't speak.

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "I knew the commander would agree, I know you usually hide all the good things in the warehouse in the backyard, but there are too many institutions in the backyard, I want to take Miss Pan with me, but I'm afraid of hurting her. "

Zhong Shen's eyes were wide open, almost breathing fire.

Xu Zhiqiong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Commander, don't worry, I won't take Miss Pan, I will take you."

Zhong Shen didn't speak, and Xu Zhiqiong thought he agreed.

He quietly picked up Zhong Shen and went to the backyard. Zhong Shen was injured, and if he was seriously injured again, he would have to pay for his life. Along the way, he pointed and carefully let Xu Zhiqiong avoid the traps of various organs.

Entering the warehouse, Xia Hu's eyes lit up.

She has the talent of the Mohist school, and she soon fell in love with several weapons.

"This one uses fire, this one uses oil, this one uses something..."

Zhong Shen knew that Xu Zhiqiong was doing serious business, and instructed Xia Hu to learn how to use these weapons.

The more Xia Hu used it, the more she liked it, so she couldn't help but ask: "Officer, I use this weapon very conveniently, can you discuss it with the commander, even if it is, give it to us..."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said: "You little girl, you don't know anything. You still want to discuss such a precious weapon. Is it still worth discussing? The commander must have agreed."

Zhong Shen glared at Xu Zhiqiong, but he really agreed to this matter.

He knew that Xu Zhiqiong was used to joking, and he also knew that this was not just a joke.

Xu Zhiqiong sent Zhong Shen back to the room, put him back on the bed, said goodbye, and was about to leave when Zhong Shen suddenly grabbed Xu Zhiqiong's arm.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Zhong Shen, and said with a smile: "I'm going to avenge you, I want to kill the person who hurt you, this bird, who wants to kidnap the emperor and kill him, is also our Imperial City Secretary. duty."

Zhong Shen's eye sockets were slightly red.

He hated Long Xiulian, but he was more worried about Xu Zhiqiong.

It is Zhong Shen's consistent principle to take care of the living and ignore the dead.

He felt that he was no different from a dead person. If it was just for revenge, he would never let Xu Zhiqiong go all out.

Speaking of the duty of the Secretary of the Imperial City, it is indeed the duty, but Zhiqiong can't beat him!
Zhong Shen held Xu Zhiqiong's wrist tightly all the time, Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "Commander, after I get rid of that bird boy, I will find you a panacea. , Singing a good poem is better than having red lips!"

……

He Fang sat in Chu Xin's tent, waiting for Chu Xin to make a decision.

Chu Xin's injuries were mostly healed, even though he was reluctant to go into battle, he gritted his teeth and survived.

But after staring at the battle reports from various places for a long time, Chu Xin decided to go to the front line of the Gu clan.

This operation made He Fang puzzled: "General Chu, the northern border is our own land."

Chu Xin shook his head and said: "If the land conquered by Yu Xianguo is lost, the southern border of Daxuan will be even more dangerous. There is someone in the Gu clan who can fight. If he has the opportunity to drive all the way in, he can destroy Yu Xianguo. Daxuan took away several states and counties."

"But on the side of the Gu clan, there was no movement."

"Tu Nu didn't move, but I could smell the blood on the knife edge." Chu Xin flipped through the battle report again, "In my opinion, both sides are going to fight,
I had to fight the battle of the Gu clan. Ji Qi's city is high and deep, so he should be able to defend it. It's just that the territory in the north is too big, so it would be great if someone could help him. "

He Fang thought for a long time and said: "Since General Chu has made a plan, I will send General Chu to the front line immediately. As for the northern border, I will report to His Majesty and ask good generals to support General Ji Qi."

Chu Xin went to the front line of the Gu Clan, and He Fang told Emperor Chang Le the news.

Emperor Chang Le couldn't think of anyone who could support Ji Qi.

"Ji Qi has an arrogant personality. If he asks ordinary people to go, he won't bother him at all. Second brother, why don't you go yourself."

Liang Jixiong frowned and said: "Don't talk nonsense, wars don't happen overnight, I don't believe that Gongsun Wen can beat Ji Qi to the ground in one battle, let's take over the affairs of the capital first."

"Painter Li and Physician Han are both in the capital, and Zhiqiong is also here. What is there to be afraid of?"

Liang Jixiong shook his head and said, "Nufujiao's thoughts are hard to fathom. I'm restless, and I always feel that things in the capital are not so simple."

The imperial court did not send generals to go to the north, He Fang was very anxious, and told Li Shabai about it.

Li Shabai sighed: "It's useless to be anxious. I have been to the northern border several times, and I know a little about Ji Qi's temperament. The emperor is right. He doesn't pay attention to ordinary generals at all. But now there is no more prestigious general in the court.”

After thinking about it, Li Shabai told Xu Zhiqiong the matter.

It is indeed too much for Ji Qi to guard three provinces by himself, with Tu Nu outside and Gongsun Wen inside.

Xu Zhiqiong discussed with Liang Zhenjie: "If you go to the northern border and don't let Ji Qi know, can you help him?"

"I can help, but it just takes a little effort." Liang Zhenjie replied very positively.

"Then trouble Li Changshi and send brother Liang to the north."

Li Muliang was reluctant: "Shang Feng, without this brother Liang, our next battle will not be easy."

Liang Zhenjie shook his head and said: "I have taught you everything that should be taught to you. When the war starts, there are not many who can help you.

I heard from the soul seducer that this third-rank judge surnamed Long has the means to divide and combine souls. I'm afraid that if my immortal soul is in his hands, I won't be able to make it through even one round.

Let me go to the north to fight, Confucianism, the northern border, maybe I can think of something. "

……

In Zukazaifu, Long Xiulian gently opened a wooden box.

He only opened a slit, and a forceful pressure rushed towards his face. The two judges standing outside the hall could not help but tremble.

The two judges didn't know what happened in the hall, let alone what Long Xiulian was holding.

But they can feel fear, deep fear.

Long Xiulian closed the lid of the box, with the corners of his mouth upturned, looking at Du Yanjun opposite.

"It's a good job, it's like doing business."

Du Yanjun said in a low voice: "To be honest, Master Longzhong, for this business, I have risked my life."

Long Xiulian smiled and said, "How can I treat you badly? Back then I promised you [-] meritorious service, right?"

Du Yanjun nodded: "I also hope that Zai Longzhong will not break his promise."

Long Xiulian said: "Of course I won't break my promise, I will reward you an extra ten thousand, thirty thousand meritorious deeds, just for your courage!"

Du Yanjun hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Zhongzai, for the reward."

He knew that Long Xiulian didn't like to talk politely, so he counted his meritorious deeds face to face, and hurriedly left.

When he returned to Yan Luo Palace, he was still in shock. When dealing with Long Xiulian, Du Yanjun always felt that a knife was on his neck.

Sitting quietly in the garden of the Ninth Floor Yama Hall, Du Yanjun's mood gradually calmed down.

The ninth floor is the most secret place in the Yan Luo Palace. This is a warm and bright garden, which seems incompatible with the dark and cold underworld.

A burst of darkness suddenly hit the garden, swallowing the surrounding light and flowers and plants.

Du Yanjun was not nervous, he knew who was coming.

He bowed his body, lowered his head, and saluted deeply to those who came.

A man stepped out of the darkness, with a slender figure, gray complexion, sunken eye sockets, and thick beard and hair.

He stood in front of Du Yanjun, silent.

Du Yanjun took out a cloth bag from his bosom.

The cloth pouch seems to be only the size of a palm, but inside it contains a total of [-] golden beans.

He presented the [-] merits to the man opposite.

This man is the Ghost Emperor of Middle Earth—Jiao Liewei.

Jiao Liewei picked up the bag, divided the meritorious service into three parts, and left one part to Du Yanjun.

"Chunze, I have to trouble you for everything from now on."

Du Chunze hurriedly saluted: "The emperor's words are serious, and the subordinates are willing to follow the example of dogs and horses."
