Gao Wu Daming: Dressed as a court eagle dog

Chapter 154 The Incident (3.5k)

That night, Cao Jinxing followed Huang Fangling to see all over the Qingyu Tower. She showed no defense against him, and she told him all the layout of the building. Cao Jinxing was a little surprised, and his heart inevitably fluctuated a little.

Judging from the contact during this period, this world is still a bit poetic and picturesque, and children love each other.

It's not as messy as he imagined before, there are people like Wan Heqing, and there are people like Qin Xuanji and Huang Fangling.

His resistance softened a little.

"let it go."

After that, Cao Jinxing insisted on buying three [Heavenly King Pills] at the market price, no matter what Huang Fangling said, he didn't let go.

Huang Fangling doesn't treat him as an outsider, he can't treat himself as an outsider.

Regardless of any changes in the future, at least for now, the brothers will settle accounts clearly.

After buying the elixir, Cao Jinxing bid farewell and left. He planned to go to Xuandu Temple [Flying Tiger Pond] to retreat for half a month the next day. Before leaving, he talked to Huang Fangling.

Huang Fangling held the undelivered elixir in his hand, looked at his back gradually going away, a little depressed, but more relieved.

Her medical skills are superb, and she is very proficient in the basic "looking, smelling, asking, and feeling" of doctors.

She could tell from Cao Jinxing's subtle facial expressions that he was loose. If he wanted to put it aside, this wood would not talk too much to tell her the next itinerary.

"No, it's not wood..."

Huang Fangling thought interestingly: "Wood is a blunt mind, but he is not. He is blue and white porcelain, exquisitely carved, but it heats slowly and cools slowly..."

She returned to the alchemy room, took out a piece of rice paper, and began to paint with a pen.

Her drawing skills are very good, and her speed is very fast. With just a few strokes, she outlined the street scene of Ghost Mayor Street.

The lights were dim, and there was a flow of people on both sides, but no one in the center moved.

He was wearing a black silk shirt, standing peacefully, with a big snow-white cat lying beside his feet... All the details were depicted very well, and soon there was a human face left.

Huang Fangling held the paintbrush for a moment, carefully adding facial features to the person in the painting, this time with a smile on his brows and eyes—although it was still a little lighter.

"Well, much better."

Huang Fangling was very satisfied with the painting, and hung it in the cubicle behind the alchemy room.

There is also a painting there, wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife, standing proudly on the cliff of Yuwei Waterfall, with indifferent and distant eyes.

Huang Fangling tilted her head and admired the two paintings, but she didn't notice the helpless old father in the alchemy room behind her.

"Ugh!"

Huang Huaijiang looked at his daughter's face full of peach blossoms, and his heart ached with worry: "What's so good about that brat! He can fascinate my precious daughter like this... But he still doesn't understand style, it's really unreasonable!"

……

the next day.

Cao Jinxing came to Xuandu Temple.

Xuandu Temple and Chaotian Temple were specially built for Jiajing to respect heaven and cultivate immortals. They support two Taoist immortals, Tao Zhongwen and Lan Daoxing.

The former is the leader of Taoism in the world who was proclaimed by Jiajing, and he also practiced Wudang and Dragon and Tiger Taoism;

Cao Jinxing presented the jade pendant.

The little Taoist priest at the door took it with both hands and returned it to Lan Daoxing. After a while, the gate of the Taoist temple opened, and Lan Daoxing in a blue Taoist robe appeared at the door.

Not to mention, he really looks like a fairy.

"Lord Cao."

Lan Daoxing made an excuse.

"Master Lan."

Cao Jinxing returned the gift with Taoist etiquette.

In real history, this Lan Daoxing was a person who believed in Yangming's philosophy of mind and had a sense of justice.

He once said that "a treacherous official played something today" when he was helping the spirit. When he was speaking, Yan Song "just happened" to pass by, which made Jiajing feel disgusted with Yan Song.

In this world of high martial arts, it is uncertain how high such a character is. Since he is polite, Cao Jinxing will naturally return the courtesy.

"The Flying Tiger Cave has been opened, please come with me, my lord."

"Your Majesty."

Cao Jinxing followed Lan Daoxing into Xuandu Temple.

For the next fifteen days, Cao Jinxing retreated in Feihuchi and ignored world affairs, but the situation in the north became more and more chaotic.

……

The morning after thirteen days.

Before dawn, an invisible falcon flew from the north, pierced through the darkness, and rushed to Liu Zhenyuan's bedroom.

on the bed.

Liu Zhenyuan was meditating and practicing, when he heard the sound of the invisible falcon's wings flapping from afar, he waved his hand and released a flash of lightning to open the window, the invisible falcon passed through the window and landed on his hand.

Liu Zhenyuan took down the letter from the letterbox on its lap, opened it, and his face immediately became gloomy.

He quickly put on his official uniform and rushed out of the mansion, went to Lu Bing's mansion, and then the two of them went to the Xiyuan cabinet to be on duty.

Just as he was hesitating whether to inform the emperor, Lu Fu appeared at the door of the duty room like a ghost.

"There is a decree from the Holy Spirit to announce the audience of the two adults."

"The ministers obey the order."

The Xiyuan cabinet was only a stone's throw away from Yuxi Palace, and the three of them soon came outside Yuxi Palace.

"What happened."

In Jinshen Abode, Jiajing sat cross-legged on the gossip table, closed his eyes, and practiced profound arts silently.

Lu Bing signaled Liu Zhenyuan to speak.

Liu Zhenyuan knelt down and said, "My Majesty, I just received an urgent report from Han Wu that Zhu Qi was attacked and assassinated while accompanying General Qiu Luan to inspect the border defense. He was found to be poisoned by 'Blood Rose' and unconscious!"

Jiajing suddenly opened his eyes.

The cold light flashed away.

"Where's Qiu Luan?"

"General Qiu Luan lost one arm and one leg, and he is also poisoned by the blood rose, and is still in a coma."

"..."

Jiajing frowned in thought.

The whole Yuxi Palace suddenly became quiet, and a needle could be heard.

"Since the injury is serious, let's take good care of it! Xuan Da frontier defense is temporarily handed over to Chen Hui, the commander-in-chief." Jiajing's words were extremely flat, and he couldn't hear the joy or anger. He changed the subject and said, "Twelve is back."

Liu Zhenyuan: "Yes, I returned to Beijing three days ago to report on my duties."

"Tell him to go with Thirteen."

Jiajing closed his eyes again: "Let the two of them 'do it cheaply' and thoroughly investigate Qiu Luan's military pay... If you don't want the old five and old seven to investigate, then add a few more! The two cooperate with Chen Hui, cut first and then play!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

General Qiu Luan has been closely watched by Jin Yiwei ever since the corruption case in Liaodong Ma City was exposed.

It's okay to be greedy, as long as it's not too much, Jiajing has always been tolerant to those who are used to it, not to mention that during the Gengxu Revolution, Qiu Luan also made great achievements in saving King Qin, Jiajing originally trusted him very much.

But recently, there was no rain in the northern Tatar Miyun, and the situation intensified. He heard something different.

It seems that there is something wrong with saving King Qin.

On June 29, the 25th year of Jiajing, the Tatars invaded Datong, and the generals Zhang Da and Lin Chun died in battle.On the third day of the sixth lunar month, the imperial court used Qiu Luan to guard Datong.

In July of the same year, the Tatars approached Datong, but they did not formally confront Qiu Luan. Instead, they suddenly changed their course, threatened Gyeonggi, and triggered martial law in the capital.

Qiu Luan took the opportunity to play a request for mobile assistance, and he could fight the Tatar army at any time.

Jiajing agreed and ordered him to be stationed at Juyongguan. If there is a warning, he will leave the pass to meet the enemy immediately.

On August [-]th, the Tatar army really attacked Gubeikou from Jizhen and invaded the capital.

Qiu Luan immediately went to the customs to reinforce, rescue King Qin, and lead his troops to force the Tatars back. From this, he gained the trust of Jiajing, awarded him many times, and even worshiped General Pinglu.

It all seems normal.

but……

Can't stand scrutiny.

Jiajing hadn't thought about it before, why the Tatars diverted to the capital halfway, was it a trick, or... what kind of deal did Qiu Luan make with them?
More than that.

Since the twelfth and thirteenth, the horse market corruption case was uncovered in Liaodong, attracting attention, and more and more problems have been exposed!

Especially this time.

Jiajing was worried that he would still be filling his own pockets at this time, so he specially asked the two Taibao to assist Beifang, and also meant to warn him and tell him to be more honest.

Unexpectedly, unintentionally inserting willows and willows into shades, the old five and the seventh report every day, and all the reports are his bad things!

Embezzlement of military pay, feeding dead soldiers, accepting bribes, buying more officials' wine bags and food bags under his command...

If someone else said this, Jiajing may not believe it because of his great contribution to saving King Jiaqin.

But the thirteen Taibao are all confidantes who know the basics and are not involved in party disputes, so there is absolutely no reason for their words to slander.

What's more, he also asked Lu Fu to send Dongchang Fanzi to confirm, and that's the fact!

More importantly, in the last report, Lao Qi once said bluntly that Hou Rong, under Qiu Luan's command, often sneaked out of the camp, as if he was trying to bribe captives and collaborate with the enemy.

Jiajing didn't believe it at first, but Lao Qi had an accident today... How could Jiajing not be suspicious?

The matter is very important, even if it turns out that he was blind and misjudged the person, he still has to investigate thoroughly now!This is no longer a matter of face!
If Qiu Luan really bribed the captives and collaborated with the enemy, keeping him in the army would be to plant explosives for the border town army, and this nail must be pulled out!
"Yes!"

Liu Zhenyuan said yes loudly.

"Bring two imperial doctors."

Jiajing added a sentence, and said to Lu Fu: "How poisonous is the blood rose?"

Lu Fu looked serious, and said: "Master, 'Blood Rose' refers to the rose flower watered by the blood of five extremely poisonous alien animals, namely [Seven-inch Yin Snake], [Hundred-section Centipede], [Millennium Cold Snake] Toad], [Red Fire Poisonous Scorpion], [Colorful Snow Spider], these flowers are produced on the top of Everest, and it is not easy to cultivate. Once they grow up, they will be ranked at the bottom of the fourth rank, and will make people who smell the fragrance of the flowers fall asleep. butchered."

"Four products..."

Jiajing frowned slightly: "Take Li Guishou."

Lu Fu: "Yes."

"and also."

Jiajing thought for a while, and then said: "Didn't the Wei Palace in Nanjing send ten cannons? Let the two of them escort them along the way and hand them over to Chen Hui. If I dare to invade Xuanda, I will beat you!"

"Yes!"

Lu Fu, Lu Bing, and Liu Zhenyuan agreed in unison.

……

Xuandu looks at the back mountain.

Feihu Cave, Feihu Pool.

Cao Jinxing loosened his long hair and soaked in the pool naked naked, allowing the water rich in spiritual matter to strengthen the meridians of the bones, wash the marrow and strengthen the body.

The eight-color true qi in the body turns back into the internal power of the cold toad, and circulates around the sky over and over again to remove impurities.

After thirteen days of diligent practice, he has completely integrated the internal force absorbed by the Dafa, and has broken through to the third layer of Tongyou.

The innate strength has increased a bit, it was 46 before, and it should be 48 now.

Don't underestimate these two points. Converting them into potential is another big leap.

"I feel like I'm getting closer to Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba..."

Cao Jinxing opened his eyes, leaned against the edge of the pool, and thought out of boredom: "Now use "Eight Desolation Punishment Sword Palm", it should increase the power by [-]%... Fourteen, how do you feel?"

Xuanyuan Fourteen was also in the pool. It was a little afraid of the water, so it only dared to stick close to the stone platform with Cao Jinxing's right armrest, not daring to get wet, and cringed, which was very different from usual.

"Meow meow……"

"How big a cat is, it's afraid of water..."

"Meow meow~"

Fourteen lightly pushed him with the head.

Cao Jinxing smiled and patted its head with his backhand.

Fourteen narrowed his eyes comfortably.

"Lord Cao."

Suddenly, Lan Daoxing's voice came to his ears: "Liu Zhenfu is waiting in front of the door."

"Ok?"

Cao Jinxing said unexpectedly: "No way, I have to advance again? I haven't finished my last vacation..."

Lan Daoxing smiled: "The old Taoist wishes your lord a smooth journey north and a triumphant return."

His voice faded away.

"..."

Cao Jinxing's heart moved, has there been any change in the north?
He stood up from Feihu Pond, waved his hands to dissipate the moisture from his body, put on his official uniform, and led Shisi out of Feihu Cave and Xuandu Temple, and saw Liu Zhenyuan standing with his hands behind his back at the gate, beside him, It was the famous horse he rode all the way back to the capital.

"Big brother."

Cao Jin approached and said, "What's the matter? In such a hurry?"

"Someone wants to check, and there is something to send."

Liu Zhenyuan turned around and glanced at him first. He was very satisfied with his advanced cultivation base and solid foundation, and then patted his shoulder: "Get ready, and rush to Xuanfu as soon as possible. Twelve has already brought a large team to wait at Dongzhimen." You, including your people. He will tell you the specific things."

Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows: "Is it urgent?"

"It's not in a hurry, and I won't be able to wait for two days. Let's go for a while, and I'll make it up for you when I come back."

Liu Zhenyuan took the rein and handed it to him: "Be careful."

"OK then."

Cao Jinxing took the reins, glanced at the north, with a half-smile: "It seems that the matter of Qiu Luan is about to happen..."
