Chapter 692 Broken Heart ([-])

Situ's Mansion, the mansion of the rich and powerful, is full of dignitaries from the court.

In the courtyard of the mansion, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, and the graceful figure swaying in the center of the courtyard, the warm wind in spring blows away a trace of the sorrow of the past.

Wearing a white robe and holding a long sword, a slender figure appeared in the courtyard, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, although he was a middle-aged man in his 30s, but judging from his appearance, he was still very young, with a slender and elegant body, Extraordinary bearing.

Sima Changfeng!

A well-known first-rank martial artist in the world, the captain of the Imperial Court Habayashi Army, and the future general of the Jinwu Guard.

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, he focused everyone's eyes and was dazzling.

And he was not arrogant, after stepping into the mansion, he glanced around, and immediately stepped forward to salute very politely.

The male master in Situ's mansion, Situ Feng Yuchan, one of the three princes at the time, also smiled immediately.

"Your Majesty Sima is very polite, hurry up and take your seat."

Sima Changfeng's etiquette is in place, which makes Feng Yuchan's face bright.

According to the seat already arranged, Sima Changfeng also took his seat, sitting behind Zhongjin.

Although Zhong Jin looks ugly, he is also very handsome, and because he has been promoted to the position of assistant minister of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, according to his official position, he is much higher than Sima Changfeng. Sima Changfeng nodded slightly: "Lord Zhong is here too."

Zhongjin raised his wine glass, and the two lightly clinked their wine glasses, as if they had greeted each other.

In addition to these two, there were also many young talents in the official circles of Shendu who appeared in the courtyard at the same time.

Everyone looked at Feng Yuchan who was sitting on the high seat.

Feng Yuchan smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, I would like to invite the host today, thank you for your kindness, please!"

He raised his wine glass, and the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly heated up. Some young people in the officialdom laughed and said, "Thank you, Sir Situ, for your invitation, please!"

People drink together, and public banquets like this are not held many times nowadays.

But in the past, such banquets were often held in the capital of the gods.

After three rounds of wine, Feng Yuchan clapped his hands, and soon the music in the courtyard became louder, and all the dancers who had been hiding behind also filed out one after another, and came to the rockery and the small lake to play with each other. Dance to music.

The music sounded, and the fragrant wind hit the face.

The atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone began to toast to Feng Yuchan one after another. Feng Yuchan would not refuse anyone who came, and he responded one by one.

I thought it was an old-fashioned style, but I didn't expect Feng Yuchan to be so forthright. He didn't have the airs of Lord Situ at all. Whoever came to toast would drink it to the end. After a few rounds, Feng Yuchan had already drank a lot of wine, and his face was a little pale Hot, slightly drunken eyes looked at everyone in the courtyard.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, Feng Yuchan let out a long sigh, frowning.

On a night of singing and dancing, there was a scene of peace and well-being, and this sigh seemed particularly abrupt. Zhong Jin, the assistant minister of the Military Machine Pavilion who was closest to Feng Yuchan, frowned: "Master Situ, why are you sighing?"

Zhongjin thought that Feng Yuchan must have been disturbed by state affairs.

According to reason, a person like him with the label of "Cao Su" on his body should not appear here today at the gathering of Situ Mansion, but Feng Yuchan still invited him. , came to Situ's mansion, guessing in his heart what Feng Yuchan was going to do.

Don't go to the palace for nothing, Zhongjin is such an intelligent person, he sneered in his heart, let's see how Feng Yuchan will perform.

"That's right, what worries Master Situ, why don't you tell me." He was drinking happily, and suddenly this happened, which immediately attracted attention.

Feng Yuchan saw that Zhongjin, Sima Changfeng and several other young talents all turned their heads and focused on him, so he said: "Everyone doesn't know, the old man is old, and now although he is It is in a high position, but it is like a tall building, and the wind is not very cold!"

Feng Yuchan said in front of everyone that "the heights are too cold", how could all the young talents understand this truth?It's only when Mr. Situ drank too much and was a little out of choice.

Sima Changfeng said lightly: "Lord Situ, don't worry. Now the gods are safe and the western provinces are gradually leveling off. In the future, after the chaotic armies of the four seas are calmed down, life will only get better and better, and the court will also get better and better. The head of the three lords must also be able to sit firmly in the high hall and command all officials."

Command hundreds of officials?There is nothing wrong with what I said before, but this last sentence made Zhong Jin, who was beside Sima Changfeng, blink.

The one who commands all the officials in the court can only be a general, how dare Feng Yuchan pretend to be the head of all the officials?

However, he thought about it again. In the future, the general will go one step further. After being named a prince, he may not be counted in the list of hundreds of officials.

Feng Yuchan on the high seat looked a little better after hearing Sima Changfeng's words. He never thought that Sima Changfeng had cultivated a formidable martial arts, but he was also a person who could speak. These words reached his heart. He said with a smile: "Master Sima praised this old man. Now that I am old, I don't know how much time I have left to live. This court, this world, after all, belong to you young people."

Everyone gave another wave of persuasion, and Sima Changfeng could probably see that Feng Yuchan was deliberately pretending that he might retire and return to his hometown at any time, so as to dispel the vigilance and hostility of the general faction in the court towards him?Although the current court is not as chaotic as it was when Rongzheng was in power, there are still some factional differences. For example, the faction of the generals from the four northern states is obviously self-contained.

Sima Changfeng's eyes flashed, and he secretly paid attention to Zhongjin again, but why is this Zhongjin?

Feng Yuchan said a few more words of "drunk talk", and then began to "be overwhelmed with alcohol", and left the stage first, leaving the guests to drink and have fun here.

Without the support of the master of the mansion, everyone couldn't let go, and after a few more rounds of drinking, they all dispersed.

Sima Changfeng left relatively late. He walked through the long corridor of the closed mansion alone, and was about to bypass the small lake and leave from the main entrance, but he never expected to meet two waiters head-on. The waiters passed Sima Changfeng and secretly gave Sima Zhang The wind stuffed a note.

Sima Changfeng calmly pinched the note and saw the handwriting by the moonlight.

He frowned, and then looked around to make sure that no one noticed him, so he performed lightness kung fu, and suddenly stepped across the lake, his body was like a big bird, and he quietly turned towards the backyard of Fengfu.

The reception of the official residence is usually in the courtyard of the front hall, like the backyard where family members live, and ordinary guests will not trespass.

Sima Changfeng was excellent in martial arts, easily avoiding the eyes and ears of some guards, and then came to a long corridor.

At the end of the long corridor, Feng Huan'er, who was wearing a moonlight white dress, was standing quietly, holding a three-foot long sword behind her back, and her aura of third-grade strength made her independent and unique.

Sima Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a low laugh, "The saintess invited you late at night, why?"

Above the court hall, Sima Changfeng is the captain of the Yulin Army. Outside the court hall, Sima Changfeng is the big boss who has occupied the top position on the Fengchu list for many years. The suzerain of the emperor has come, and Sima Changfeng can also overlook it.

Sima Changfeng naturally knew Feng Huaner too, so his thoughts were wandering at the moment, wondering what Feng Huaner wanted to do by looking for him alone?
Feng Huan'er slightly opened her red lips, and her voice could be heard clearly through the long corridor: "General Sima, Huan'er asked to see you late at night, not for personal matters, but for the sake of family and country."

Sima Changfeng laughed. A saint from a Jianghu sect talked to him about his family and country?

But he quickly suppressed his smile, and a figure faintly walked out from behind Feng Huaner, that figure was Feng Yuchan who was drunk and talking nonsense just now, his majestic body stood in front of Feng Huaner , confronting Sima Changfeng: "General Sima, today, the emperor still has not escaped from the cage, the court is closed, and the sentient beings are as weak as gnats and mayflies. Why? How can we, as loyal ministers, watch the empire fall and remain indifferent? I intend to marry the general and punish the country's thieves together. I don't know what the general wants?"

Sima Changfeng was taken aback, looking at the solemn Feng Yuchan, and behind Feng Yuchan, Feng Huaner, who was magnificent, beautiful and charming, even with his strong state of mind of many years of martial arts, he couldn't help his heart skip a beat .
-
In the General's Mansion, Cao Su looked at the man in front of him with doubts on his face.

"Your name is Qu Chi?"

The man in front of him is very young, his body is also very weak, and his martial arts are even more vulnerable.

From Cao Su's current point of view, such a person is the most useless person to him, and he would kill him for nothing.

Qu Chi was in the fog, and knelt down in front of Cao Su, with a dazed expression on his face.

He... he actually met the great general of the imperial court?One of the most powerful people in the world, the current Lord of the God Capital?

Yes, people in the Jianghu are saying that Cao Su is now the Lord of the God Capital, and Cao Su is about to become the king, and even replace the Wen family as the new prince of the empire.

In the past, those who could claim the title of king in the empire were all members of the Wen clan.

Qu Chi nodded confusedly, isn't he just called Qu Chi?The name bestowed by the parents is recognized generously and without shame.

Cao Su questioned: "How do you know that there are traitors in the Guards Department?"

There are traitors in the Arch Guard Division, if someone else finds out, it’s fine. For example, Ding Yan, one of the commanders of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division, is a capable person from the Arch Guard Division. If he told the news that there were traitors in the guard department, Cao Su would believe it.

But Qu Chi, who had never been in contact with the Gongwei Division before, was just a passer-by with poor martial arts skills. Cao Su was surprised that such a person was able to find out that something was wrong in the Gongwei Division on the eve of the fission.

Because the reason why someone in the Guard Division is wrong is entirely due to various results.

Qu Chi swallowed, and told everything he saw on the eve of the fission.

Cao Su's eyes became brighter the more he listened, and then he looked Qu Chi up and down: "I didn't expect that your martial arts are mediocre, but your senses are very keen. You are an excellent talent."

Weng Xiao, who was beside Cao Su, glanced at Qu Chi with cold eyes like a poisonous snake.

Qu Chi was swept over by Weng Xiao's eyes, and he felt that half of his body seemed to be frozen, and his whole body's energy and blood subsided, as if he might die suddenly in the next moment.

He lowered his head in shock, his body dripping with cold sweat.

Cao Su smiled and asked Weng Xiao: "Mr. Weng, I intend to divide the secret guards into three parts. The three parts restrict and supervise each other and provide me with reliable information. What do you think of this kid? Can he enter the secret guard?" Will Wei practice and practice?"

Weng Xiao was taken aback, and his heart was full of turmoil. He didn't know why the general said this to him suddenly.

He thought about it, and when he saw Cao Su still smiling and talking to Qu Chi, he didn't mean to target him deliberately, and he didn't have any objection, he just subconsciously said: "This young man is very alert, but his martial arts are really a bit Worse."

Cao Su took a deep look at Weng Xiao, and then said calmly: "You can practice martial arts if you are not good enough, but this kind of sharpness is innate, and many people can't practice it in their lifetime."

After he finished speaking, Weng Xiao knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly echoed: "My lord's words are very true."

Cao Su turned his head, looked at Qu Chi with a gentle smile on his face and said, "Young man, are you willing to serve under my command?"

Qu Chi was taken aback. His experience during this period can be described as twists and turns.

On the eve of the fission of the gods, he was accidentally imprisoned, and his top bag was almost cut off. Then he discovered the problem of the arch guard, and was taken to a place to hide by a man in black. After that, the fission of the gods, the monster In the chaotic city, the melee in the Taoist palace, and the crusade against the Grand Master, he was lucky. His hiding place was safe, and he was not in danger until the end of the fission.

But then, he was taken to a closed place. This place was specially managed by someone, who provided cultivation resources, and someone who taught them methods such as ambush, assassination, and communication. He learned it all in one go. During this process, he successfully broke through three times and became a full-fledged Qi-blood martial artist, who is expected to step into the realm of strength before the age of 20.

This speed of progress made him feel like a dream, but in fact, with certain resources and correct teaching, he really made rapid progress.

I thought I could continue to dawdle there, but today, I was suddenly taken away again.

He didn't know where he would be taken, until now, a person appeared in front of him, and he called himself——Cao Su.

Qu Chi immediately knelt down in front of Cao Su without hesitation, "I am willing to serve the general."

After Cao Su watched it, he was very satisfied. As he said, bad martial arts can be practiced, but what is lacking in the hidden guards is not people with high martial arts skills, but people like Qu Chi who are exquisite, alert, and sensitive. .

Although the current situation in Shendu seems to be very stable, there are undercurrents surging.

On the face of it, Cao Su dismissed the Department of Zhenxie and opened up a way to talk to the middle, but in fact, he still increased the support of the dark guards secretly, extending his minions to every corner of the gods to ensure that he can directly grasp the information of each family.

Cao Su helped Qu Chi up, and said with a smile, "I have a task right now, and I need you to do it."

Qu Chi hurriedly knelt in front of Cao Su, bowed his head and accepted the order.
