Chapter 19

At three poles in the sun, Zhu Youxiao left the early court and returned to Qianqing Palace to handle government affairs.

In the past few years, the environment in Daming was not very good, and disasters continued. In order to survive, many people left their homes and fled to other regions, becoming refugees.

There is a backlog of papers from various places reporting the disaster and requesting the imperial court to allocate funds for reinforcements, but now the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, and Zhu Youxiao does not know how to solve these things for the time being.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao put down the notebook in his hand, and rubbed the center of his brows a little irritably.

As an emperor, he can't ignore the accidents of the people, but he is also afraid that the people below will deceive him and report false news, so he is planning to go out of the palace for a parade this time, not just to relax, but also to go out of the palace Let's see if the situation is really that serious.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao looked at the little eunuch waiting next to him, and asked, "I'm going to go on a tour of the palace, how are you preparing?"

The little eunuch hurried forward and replied respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, the vehicles and treasure ships along the way are all ready, and the defense arranged by the Ministry of War is almost ready, but the guard of honor at the Ministry of Rites is still under discussion."

Zhu Youxiao frowned, and said: "I'm just going out for a parade in the palace, so I don't need to prepare a lot of ceremonies, so as not to disturb the people, so that the Ministry of Rites doesn't need to discuss, I don't need a ceremonial guard."

The little eunuch's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed and said: "Yes."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then continued to ask: "By the way, the people from Xichang have already left?"

The little eunuch cupped his hands and said, "The news just came from outside the palace that Eunuch Yu of Xichang took people away from Beijing this morning, and Jin Yiwei is also with him."

"Jinyiwei..."

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had naturally heard about Xichang's actions in the past few days.

But Cao Zhengchun's guess was right, he acquiesced in this matter.

Although the East and West Second Factory and Jinyiwei are both knives in his hands, Jinyiwei's performance over the years has indeed disappointed him. On the contrary, under the leadership of the East Factory, his work efficiency has been greatly improved.

Therefore, he turned a blind eye to Dongchang's secret interference in controlling Jinyiwei.

Including this moment is the same.

Xichang was able to take away Jinyiwei's rights from Dongchang's hands, it was Dongchang's incompetence, and he would not favor anyone.

He set up the West Factory to check and balance the East Factory.

If Dongchang has the ability, he can also find a way to take back the control of Jin Yiwei. Of course, he must not break the rules, otherwise he will be provoking his patience.

Moreover, Yuhuatian is here to compete for the treasures of the Great White Kingdom, so there is nothing wrong with bringing more people.

As long as Yuhuatian can successfully bring back the treasure, he will not pursue this matter.

"Yuhuatian, I hope you don't let me down..."

Zhu Youxiao looked northwest, his eyes flickering.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Is there nothing important happening in the palace these few days?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it's nothing serious, but I heard that a few palace ladies disappeared from the Palace of Compassion and Ning."

Zhu Youxiao frowned: "What is this important?"

The little eunuch hesitated for a moment, and replied: "People below are spreading rumors that these maids were secretly executed by the concubine Wan Gui because of having an affair with the guards."

Zhu Youxiao paused for a moment, and then said lightly: "Find out who is chewing his tongue, and tell him to shut up."

It's just a few court ladies who died, what's the big deal?
With so many people in the palace, it's no big deal if a few people don't die every month.

But when it came to the maid, Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered that a few days ago, he seemed to be drunk, and luckily met a court lady who looked good. Later, he was busy with government affairs, so he forgot about it.

Now that I think about it, will that maid be pregnant with a dragon seed?
He has been on the throne for so many years and has no children under his knees. Zhu Youxiao is still very concerned about this matter.

If the court lady is really pregnant with a dragon seed, he doesn't mind having another imperial concubine.

But soon, he shook his head and put the matter behind him.

He was just lucky once, how could he be pregnant by such a coincidence?

...

South of the city, Hulong Villa.

In the main hall, Zhu Wushi was wearing a black gold python robe, sitting on the throne above, with a majestic demeanor.

There are three figures standing below, two of them are Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao.

The last person is a handsome young man, holding a folding fan, wearing a crown with his hair tied up, and looks as rich as jade.

This person is the owner of the 'No. [-] Villa in the World', and also the third secret agent of Hulong Villa, No. [-] Xuanzi, Shangguan Haitang.

Shangguan Haitang has always presented herself as a man outside, but what outsiders don't know is that she is actually a woman, and she has been disguised as a man for so many years.

Shangguan Haitang bowed his hands to Zhu Wushi who was sitting on the throne, and asked, "Haitang pays homage to the adoptive father. I don't know why the foster father is so anxious to call Haitang back?"

Zhu Wushi looked at the three people below, without going around in circles, and said in a deep voice: "I have received news that a treasure will be born in the northwest desert in the next few days. The emperor asked me to assist Xichang and go to the desert to bring back the treasure."

Hearing this, the expressions of the three of them were a little dignified.

Shangguan Haitang cupped his hands and said, "Father, is it the treasures that have been circulated in the world recently, the treasures left after Dabai Shangguo destroyed the country 300 years ago?"

"Yes, it is this thing!"

Zhu Wushi nodded and said: "I heard that many people in Jianghu have rushed to the northwest desert to join in the fun, and even several great demon sects may be born. This news is probably true!"

The three nodded.

Duan Tianya asked: "Father, what do you want us to do?"

Zhu Wushi said in a deep voice: "My Daming is suffering from constant disasters and the people are struggling to survive. It is time to spend money. This king wants you to secretly follow Xichang to the desert and successfully bring back the treasure!"

"Yes, foster father!"

The three bowed their hands in awe.

Zhu Wushi looked at Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao, and continued: "Tianya, Yidao, I know that you have had a dispute with Yuhuatian, but the matter of the treasure is of great importance, and other countries may even intervene. At this time, You must not be impulsive!"

Duan Tianya clasped his hands and said: "Father, don't worry, Tianya can still distinguish between personal enmity and the righteousness of the family and the country!"

"Well, the king read you right."

Zhu Wushi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go, be careful all the way."

"Yes, foster father!"

The three saluted again, then turned and left.

Zhu Wushi didn't get up, he was still sitting on the throne, looking at the empty hall, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

...

The autumn wind is bleak, and the fine rain is pattering, it seems that the rain will never end, and there is no intention of stopping at all.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and many people stood under the eaves on both sides of the street to shelter from the rain.

In a restaurant in the street, there are also many people from the Jianghu gathered here, hiding here to warm up the wine and avoid the rain, and talk high-spirited.

"I heard that a treasure was born in the Northwest Desert, attracting many people from all walks of life. It is said that there are also experts from other countries coming. Don't you all join in the fun?"

"Treasures are not something people like us can covet. I heard that all the major factions in the martial arts are sending people there this time. With our three-legged skills to join in the fun, I'm afraid we won't even know how to die. "

"Yes! I heard that not only people from the major sects of the martial arts, but also several major demon sects were born this time. The director of the demon sect, Tian Xing, and the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, Dongfang Bubai, rushed to the place three days ago. They entered Longmen and killed many people from various sects!"

"That's right, I've heard that too. It is said that even members of the two killer organizations, Tianzun and Black Stone, who are notorious in the world recently, have appeared in the desert!"

"Competing for the treasure, why are these killer organizations joining in the fun?"

"You are stupid, that treasure is said to have been left behind after the fall of Dabaishang Kingdom 300 years ago. It is incomparably rich. If you just take a little at that time, it will be enough for them to squander it for a long time. Isn't this faster than killing people?"

"This is also..."

...

At the window, a young man in a white robe sat at the table, listening to the discussions of the people in the restaurant, without saying a word, just drinking quietly.

This young man was handsome, with a bit of femininity between his brows, but he couldn't hide the innate nobility and majesty of his body, and there was an indifference that was not easy to get close to in his graceful temperament.

Opposite the young man, a man with a ponytail was tearing at a roast chicken indistinctly, taking a big sip from a wine glass from time to time, and standing beside the table was a big Imperial Forest Army that was much longer than ordinary swords. knife.

Beside him was a blue-faced man in plain clothes, with a double-headed gun on his back, wrapped in canvas.

This trio of people knew that they were not easy to provoke at first glance, so no one who was not open-eyed would dare to step forward to disturb them.

"Righteous Way, Demon Sect, Killer Organization..."

Listening to the discussions of the Jiang Hu people in the restaurant, Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He still underestimated the attraction of this treasure to the Jianghu people.

Many well-known sects in Jianghu sent people there, and even the two major demon sects, the Demon Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect, joined in the fun.

It seems that the task of this trip is much more difficult than imagined...

"Where are Ma Jinliang and the others?"

After pondering for a moment, Yuhuatian looked at Zhao Tong beside him and asked.

After leaving the capital, in order to deceive others, Yuhuatian decided to divide his troops into two groups and act secretly.

Ma Jinliang led the masters of Xichang and Jinyiwei to the desert first, laying an ambush in advance, waiting for dispatch.

And Yu Huatian took Ding Xiu and Zhao Tong to act alone, in order to find out the information and find out who the enemies are this time.

Now it seems that this is the enemy everywhere!

"Report to Governor, there was news yesterday that they have arrived at Longmen by water and are waiting for Governor at Longmen Pass!"

Zhao Tong stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Yu Huatian nodded, and ordered: "Let him contact the defenders of Longmen, and make preparations for dispatching troops in advance. I'm afraid it will take the army to suppress them this time."

"Yes, Lord."

Yu Huatian glanced at Ding Xiu, who didn't care about his appearance, and who was concentrating on cooking, twitched his mouth, shook his head, and said, "Let's eat first, and leave as soon as possible after eating, the weather has changed recently, and the black storm in the desert may come earlier .”

Zhao Tong nodded, then found a stool and sat down, and began to eat.

"Tap-"

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside, and then a wild and loud voice came from downstairs: "Shopkeeper, serve the best dishes and the strongest wine, hurry up!"

Hearing this crazy tone, many people frowned slightly, turned their heads to look towards the stairs, and wanted to see who was acting so high-profile.

After a while, I saw a man wearing brocade clothes and holding a short knife with a crooked handle striding forward. The man's appearance is considered correct, but there is always a bit of frivolity and ruffian between his brows.

Behind the man, there were two people following him, a man and a woman. The man was a handsome young man in his twenties, holding a long sword sheathed in his hand.

The woman was a little nun, she was quite beautiful and charming, but she had a sad look on her face, which made people feel pity at first glance.

This weird combination immediately attracted the attention of many people, causing many people to look surprised.

And the leading man didn't care about other people's eyes, strode to the empty table by the window and sat down, slammed the short knife on the table heavily, glanced at the surprised eyes around him, glared, and shouted: "What are you looking at?" ? Have you ever seen such a handsome man as Lao Tzu? I’ll show you how to roll your eyes!”

This arrogant gesture immediately aroused public outrage, many people showed displeasure, and some even directly complained.

The sword-wielding young man next to him saw that the situation was not going well, and quickly persuaded him: "Brother Tian, ​​it's better to keep a low profile when you go out, and don't cause public wrath."

"Brother Tian? He is Tian Boguang from 'Walk alone'?!"

Someone in the crowd heard the young man addressing the man, combined with the man's attire, immediately guessed the man's identity, and couldn't help but exclaim.

As soon as this statement came out, many people were shocked.

"Walk alone" Tian Boguang is well-known in the Jianghu for his lightness kung fu and saber skills. He is a first-class master, but he is addicted to sex and has harmed many women from good families, so he is not well-received in the Jianghu.

"Tian Boguang? Isn't this the flower picker?"

"Hush! Be careful! This Tian Boguang is not easy to provoke. I heard that last month'Four Eyebrows' Lu Xiaofeng came to chase after Tian Boguang after hearing about Tian Boguang's deeds, but he ran away!"

"Hiss... to be able to escape under Lu Xiaofeng's hands, is Tian Boguang's martial arts so powerful?"

"Who knows, no matter how he escaped from Lu Xiaofeng's pursuit, if he can escape from Lu Xiaofeng's hands, it is no longer something we can afford."

The crowd discussed in low voices, looking at Tian Boguang with fear in their eyes, and the previous anger dissipated immediately.

Don't look at Tian Boguang is only the acquired first-class realm, but in the Jianghu, the acquired first-rate is already a little famous. As for the masters of the innate and master realm, how can it be so easy to meet?

Tian Boguang also heard the discussion of the crowd, he glanced at the person who recognized his identity at first, and said triumphantly: "You still have a good eye, you can recognize the identity of my uncle."

Everyone looked at his attitude of not being ashamed but proud, and they all felt contempt in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything at this time, they all turned around and sat back.

Walking in the rivers and lakes, it's better to keep your affairs to a minimum, after all not everyone is Lu Xiaofeng, there are friends to help wherever you go.

Seeing this, Tian Boguang also felt a little bored, turned around, put his hand on his chin, and looked at the little nun opposite him with a smile.

The little nun was uncomfortable seeing him, and quickly lowered her head, with a panicked expression on her face.

Seeing this, the sword-wielding youth quickly stood in front of the little nun, saying: "Brother Tian, ​​you promised me that you will not do anything to Junior Sister Yilin until you have completely defeated me."

Hearing this, Tian Boguang waved his hands impatiently and said, "Understood, I will do what I say. Linghu Chong, no matter what method you use, as long as you can win me, I will let this little nun go. If you lose, you will be fine." Take care of the uncle's business."

"Linghu Chong? He is Huashan disciple Linghu Chong?!"

When everyone heard the words, they were shocked again, and all turned their eyes to the young man with the sword.

"Isn't the Huashan faction a decent school? How could he get involved with Tian Boguang?"

"Who knows! These well-known and decent sects are all people trying to catch fame, so Yue Buqun is a hypocrite!"

"That's right, that little nun seems to be from the Hengshan sect. Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang probably want to do something to this little nun because of the beauty of the parents."

"Bah! What a decent family, Yue Buqun handed over such an apprentice!"

"It's a pity that the little nun..."

The crowd discussed in low voices, even looking at the young man with the sword with contempt.

Hearing these comments, Linghu Chong's face changed slightly, and he wanted to explain that he bet with Tian Boguang to save Yilin, but for a while he didn't know how to explain.

On the other side, Yuhuatian and the others had been watching coldly, and at this time they also knew the identities of Tian Boguang and the others.

Yu Huatian was still eating quietly, expressionless, but Zhao Tong subconsciously touched the double-headed spear behind him.

Tian Boguang, the flower picker, was registered in all major yamen of the imperial court.

Even Ding Xiu stopped cooking, with a murderous intent in his eyes, he said coldly, "I hate these flower picking thieves who insult people's innocence the most in my life!"

As he said that, he touched the big Royal Forest Saber standing on the side of the table.

"Don't worry about it."

Yu Huatian raised his eyelids slightly, and said calmly: "We are operating in secret, and we must not let people know that we have also gone to the desert. It is not too late to kill Tian Boguang later."

Ding Xiu frowned slightly, although he was unwilling to let the flower picker go like this, but he had to listen to Yuhuatian's order, so he could only temporarily suppress the killing intent in his heart, and sat back down again.

But sometimes, if you don't look for trouble, trouble will always find itself.

At this time, Tian Boguang seemed to be too bored to sit and wait for Xiaoer to serve, and Linghu Chong stopped him from molesting Yilin, so he could only look around uninterestedly.

When he noticed the same weird combination sitting at the table in the corner, his eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his eyebrows at Yuhuatian, and shouted: "Hey, you little white face, how did you grow up? Are you prettier than this little nun? Are you a man?"

Swish!
Yuhuatian paused slightly while eating.

But Zhao Tong and Ding Xiu's expressions changed drastically. They naturally knew that Yu Huatian was in poor health, and the most taboo thing was whether others said he was a man.

"presumptuous!"

Zhao Tong snorted coldly, took off the spear behind him, and wanted to shoot directly.

Yu Huatian waved his hand slightly, looked up at Tian Boguang who was facing the frivolous expression, a chill flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "Can't you eat your food well? Why do you have to be so mean?"

Although the voice was calm, everyone could hear the cold murderous intent contained in it, and many people shuddered subconsciously.

Tian Boguang's complexion also changed slightly, and he felt that something was wrong, but with so many people watching, if he was frightened by a word from a boy who didn't know his origin, would he still want to lose face?
Immediately suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he slapped the table and snorted coldly: "So what about you? I can't get used to a little boy like you the most in my life, I'm afraid I'm eating women..."

"laugh--"

Before the words fell, Tian Boguang's body shook, and he suddenly closed his mouth.

Everyone felt strange, and when they turned their heads to look, their faces changed drastically.

I saw that Tian Boguang's forehead had been pierced by a chopstick at some point, and scarlet blood slowly trickled down his cheeks.

Tian Boguang's eyes widened, staring fixedly at the white shadow opposite, with an unbelievable look in his eyes, he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word, and his body fell heavily backwards.

"Bam—"

[Luck from Tian Boguang +1000. 】

Whoa!
As Tian Boguang's body fell to the ground, the crowd was in an uproar for an instant, and looked at the white-clothed figure in the corner in horror.

This Tian Boguang is a first-class martial artist, and his saber skills and lightness kung fu are not weak, even the famous Lu Xiaofeng couldn't catch him, but now he was killed by this man with a chopstick!

Then this person's strength must be higher than Tian Boguang's, and he is definitely an innate master!
However, what is the origin of such a young innate master?
"People in the Jianghu often say that the Jianghu is a matter of the Jianghu, but they can keep such people alive. Sure enough, the Jianghu is full of trash."

Yu Huatian looked indifferent, glanced at Tian Boguang's body, and said lightly.

Everyone came back to their senses immediately, Linghu Chong looked at Tian Boguang's dead body on the ground, subconsciously took two steps back, his expression was in a daze: "Brother Tian?"

Then he turned his head to look at Yu Huatian, frowned and said, "Brother Tian just said something to you, isn't it against the way of chivalry for you to kill someone so ruthlessly?"

"Chivalry?"

Yu Huatian glanced at him, and said indifferently: "A flower picking thief is worthy of such protection by Huashan disciples? Is this also the chivalrous way that Huashan follows?"

Linghu Chong's complexion changed slightly and he was speechless.

Yuhuatian's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "This Tian Boguang has spoiled countless women from a good family. It is not a pity to die, but the Huashan faction taught you to talk about chivalry all day long, regardless of right and wrong, and even have sex with flower pickers. The disciple of a friend deserves to die as well!"

"And you, damn it!"

After the words fell, Yuhuatian waved his sleeve robe, and the other chopstick flew out again.

Linghu Chong's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to dodge immediately, but even a first-class expert like Tian Boguang couldn't dodge, how could he dodge Yuhuatian's attack with his third-rate three-legged cat kung fu?

"laugh--"

Everyone only heard a sound of piercing through the air, Linghu Chong followed in Tian Boguang's footsteps, stuck a chopstick between his brows, only half of it was exposed, and stood there blankly, then fell to the ground with a bang, and his vitality disappeared.

"Senior Brother Linghu..."

The little nun Yilin turned pale with fright, she immediately got up and supported Linghu Chong's body, she was dazed not knowing what to do.

[Luck from Linghu Chong +8848. 】

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Yu Huatian's eyes finally changed. He never expected that the luck he plundered from Linghu Chong would be higher than that of Zhao Huai'an before.

It's a surprise.

Withdrawing his mind, Yu Huatian glanced at the two corpses on the ground and Yilin, whose face was pale with fright, and she didn't even have the mood to eat, so she got up and said, "Let's go."

After all, he walked downstairs.

Zhao Tong immediately followed, while Ding Xiu reluctantly looked at the table full of food and drink, finally shook his head, sighed and got up to leave, before leaving, he tore a piece of chicken leg and ate while walking.

wow-

Following the departure of the three of Yuhuatian, there was a commotion in the originally dead restaurant.

"Who is that person? He even dared to kill Huashan sect disciples?"

"Didn't you listen to what he said? People don't even pay attention to Yue Buqun, so what is the mere Huashan School?"

"Yes! This person is already a congenital master at such a young age. He must have been sent by some sect. How could he be afraid of Huashan sect's revenge?"

"Hmph! Yue Buqun has taught such a disciple, how dare he take revenge? I'm afraid the reputation of the Huashan School will soon be rotten!"

"That's right! This Linghu Chong deserves his death..."
