Troubled Times: Added six doors at the beginning, pushing the world horizontally

Chapter 239 Returning to Beijing, the storm will rise

Lu Chengen took out a elixir and swallowed it, barely stabilizing the injury.

Shen Du smiled and said, "I never thought that Eunuch Lu would know such a rare martial art as "Dafa of Disintegration of Heavenly Demons."

The reason why he was surprised was because Lu Chengen had always stayed by the prince's side. As a servant of the Eastern Palace, he rarely made him work hard.

Lu Chengen shook his head and said, "I met him by chance, so I learned it."

He was glad in his heart, fortunately he had learned the "Dafa of Disintegration of Heavenly Demon", otherwise he might really have to be buried here today.

Lu Chengen gave Shen Du a complicated look.

Yuanshen Jiuzhong rebelled against a powerful man of Dharma, who was also a monk of Shaolin Kongwen. It is unknown what kind of sensation it will cause when the news spreads.

Of course, the enmity with Shaolin is not small.

The two rested for a while, and after recovering a little bit of their true energy, they immediately left and rushed to Gyeonggi.

Shen Du cut down a tree, made a box, and threw Kong Wen's head into it.

The corner of Lu Chengen's mouth twitched as he watched.

How cruel!

He thought Shen Du was just talking.

Because it was inconvenient to carry, Shen Du could only take Kong Wen's head back.

In fact, it seems that Kongwen's corpse is worth researching, but Shen Du didn't bother to delve into it, so he burned it directly.

This time they killed Kong Wen, but let Bai Yuanjun escape. If he let him spread the news, maybe someone else will come.

So the two didn't dare to delay too much.

……

Outside Red Maple Valley,

Bai Yuanjun was running for his life desperately, and he didn't stay for long.

Although he had sold out the empty news this time, this matter was not wronged him.

What's more, their relationship with Shaolin is just a cooperative relationship, and it is impossible for him to go all out for Kongwen.

Bai Yuanjun sighed and continued on his way.

This plan was considered a complete failure, not only did not get rid of Lu Chengen and Shen Du, but also damaged a strong Dharma image.

……

Not long after, the story of Red Maple Valley was widely spread in Jianghu, causing heated discussions.

The movement of that battle was so great that it was hard not to notice it.

It's just that many people didn't dare to approach it at the beginning, so they could only watch from a distance.

After a long time, some people from all walks of life bravely went to the Red Maple Valley.

At the same time, there was also the news that the Baihumen was wiped out. In the Yinzhou Jianghu, half of the Jianghu forces were slaughtered.

Because Baihumen was chasing Mo Dao at first, so all this was attributed to Mo Dao.

Many people in the Jianghu are discussing which faction of the evil way has the courage to do such an arrogant thing.

Could it be that they want to set off a war between good and evil?
As soon as this incident happened, many decent factions from the Jianghu came forward to find all the sects of the Demonic Dao, and even sent disciples to destroy the various sects of the Demonic Dao.

There is no way, such a big event happened in Yinzhou, as an orthodox sect, it should show something, it is difficult to convince the public to be responsible, let alone stop the public.

As for the various sects of the evil way who are behind the blame, they have a confused face and can only passively fight.

The battle between the two sides almost turned into a war between good and evil.

In the end, several major factions came forward and negotiated privately with the Mo Dao sects before the situation was stabilized.

……

In Yanjing City,

Since Lu Chengen left Beijing, the uneasy atmosphere in Beijing has become more and more intense.

People make trouble almost every day in the capital, even if the six doors use harsh methods, it will be of no avail.

Not only has this situation not been alleviated, but it has become more and more serious.

At the same time, a piece of news caused a sensation in Beijing.

Chen Chunan, the right servant of the household department, died at home.

Although he had hanged himself when he was discovered, everyone knew that the real cause of his death was not suicide.

At the same time, there is also a letter of repentance left, which elaborates on his crimes.

The important thing is that the right servant of the household department belongs to the prince.

20 years ago, from a poor family, he was a sergeant in the imperial examination, and was later promoted by the prince, step by step to the position of the right servant of the household department.

A servant, this is a real job, and it can be said to be a high position.

Such a person died inexplicably at home.

After Chen Chunan's death, many officials from his lineage were arrested, and several people were exiled to the border.

This matter has been unanimously agreed by the cabinet, even the East Palace cannot intervene too much.

Ordinary people don't know, but for court officials, they already smell something different.

This is clearly cutting off the wings of the Eastern Palace.

Under normal circumstances, no one dares to be so bold, let alone so crazy.

Now that it has happened, there is only one possibility...

Prince...it's too late!

Those who are officials in Beijing are all people who have been in the officialdom for a long time, and their sensitivity to the court situation is not ordinary.

Under such circumstances, even the forces under the command of the princes are ready to move.

Everyone knows that whoever can take advantage at this moment can have greater hope in the future.

However, as the prince of the supervisory country, he seemed to acquiesce in all this happening.

……

outside the capital,

Shen Du and Lu Cheng'en, who had run all the way, looked at the city wall that was close at hand, and they were able to catch their breath just now.

In the capital, no matter how crazy those people are, they won't do anything.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Having experienced a battle together, it has brought their relationship closer.

The two hid their identities and sneaked into Beijing, and soon came to the East Palace.

The whole East Palace has been a lot less crowded recently, and it seems a little deserted.

Heavy snow weighs on the branches.

The north wind howls.

Outside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests,

The two walked slowly into the hall along the stairs, and bowed to salute.

"I have seen Your Highness!"

Xia Jingyi sat upright on the chair, seeing the two of them coming back, a smile appeared on his gloomy face.

Lu Chengen fell to the ground and kowtowed again.

He was most worried about the safety of His Highness when he went out this time.

Shen Du didn't do that, but quietly took a look at Xia Jingyi and sighed inwardly.

A person's breath cannot be faked, and the prince's body has indeed reached the end of his life.

As the crown prince of the East Palace, there is never a shortage of rare medicines in the world. Now it seems that even the imperial physicians are helpless.

Xia Jingyi smiled and said, "Get up."

Shen Du took out the memorial, cupped his hands and presented it, saying: "Your Highness, this is what I saw and heard along the way, as well as evidence of corruption by all officials in all states and counties."

Xia Jingyi didn't look at the evidence, got up and said, "Let's go."

"Shen Aiqing has worked hard all the way, the orphan has prepared a dinner, let's dine with the orphan."

As he spoke, a self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared on Xia Jingyi's face.

The word "solitary" means everything.

Sitting in this position means that you will be a loner in the future.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

For a while, Shen Du was also a little confused about what the prince was thinking.

However, he didn't think too much about it, but he had to admit that the prince's bearing was really rare in the world.

With such treatment and actions, anyone would probably feel good about it.

The two came to the side hall on one side, and after a while, maids from the Eastern Palace came with plates of exquisite dishes.

Xia Jingyi smiled and stretched out her hand to signal, "Move your chopsticks."

"You don't have to be restrained."

He didn't call Lu Chengen, because he knew that with Lu Chengen's character, it was impossible for him to sit down.

Shen Du glanced at it, and was no longer polite, and began to eat.

He had had enough of eating and sleeping along the way.

For a while, the room became extremely quiet. , only the sound of two people dining.

Xia Jingyi ate very little, just took a few bites and then put down the chopsticks.

After Shen Du had finished eating, Xia Jingyi ordered people to remove the food.

Xia Jingyi leaned back on the chair, with a thick leather jacket draped over her legs, holding a stove in her hand, and said with a smile, "Tell me about what happened along the way."

Shen Du narrated everything along the way, including the meeting of people from Western Chu and Northern Man after leaving Beijing.

Xia Jingyi has been listening quietly, without any change in expression, and she doesn't seem surprised in her heart.

Shen Du kept talking about when he and Lu Chengen were attacked in the Red Maple Valley, Xia Jingyi's expression changed slightly.

Xia Jingyi turned to look at Lu Chengen, but said nothing.

With the relationship between the two of them, it is not necessary to use Yuxia's method.

Xia Jingyi picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, put it down slowly, and said quietly: "Heavenly, a court meeting will be held tomorrow."

"Let the cabinet issue official documents."

For a long time, Xia Jingyi seldom went to convene the court council.

Although he is the crown prince and has the power to oversee the country, but after all, his father is still there, and the frequent court meetings will inevitably arouse discussions from all over the world.

The emperor is not dead yet, what is he trying to do with such a move?
On the other hand, this will make people in the world wonder if something really went wrong with Emperor Yan.

Since he wanted to restart Jingcha, he naturally wouldn't just talk about it.

He has planned this matter for a long time, and he will never give up halfway.

Xia Jingyi suddenly looked up at Shen Du, and calmly said: "Tomorrow you will go to court with Gu."

A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Du's eyes.

The Six Doors seldom participate in such court affairs, and even if they do, they are usually arrested by the Six Doors' Chief Governor or the Four Great Gods.

Xia Jingyi smiled softly, looked out of the house, and said lightly: "Since it's already messed up, let's make it even more messy."

"It's time for Dayan to change."

In recent years, Dayan's generals have become more and more domineering and arrogant, and each of them supports his own self-respect.

Dayan's clan has long been too big to lose, raising private soldiers and occupying one side.

In some places, imperial edicts are not as effective as a word from some people.

Such a big swallow is not the big swallow in his heart!

Xia Jingyi got up slowly, supported his sick body, stood in front of the window, reached out to catch a snowflake, and said softly: "This world is going to be chaotic after all."

"Shen Aiqing, tell me, what do you want?"

"You contributed a lot this time, and you can mention anything you need."

Shen Du's eyes flickered, he stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said, "I want to enter the palace arsenal to have a look!"

Xia Jingyi was not too surprised by this.

He knew that Shen Du was a martial arts practitioner, and he loved martial arts, which was expected.

"anything else?"

Xia Jingyi continued: "Is there nothing you want to ask Gu?"

"Or, have you ever thought about leaving Beijing?"

Xia Jingyi reached out and patted the window sill, turned to look at Shen Du, and said calmly: "You should know that the big tree in the East Palace can't protect you for long."

With a calm expression on his face, Shen Du cupped his hands and said, "If that day comes, I will leave."

"Ha ha!"

Xia Jingyi suddenly laughed out loud, stared at Shen Du, and said loudly: "Okay!"

"Since that's the case, the orphan will not force it."

Xia Jingyi waved his hand, motioning for Shen Du to leave.

"I retire!"

Shen Du cupped his hands and left.

After Shen Du left, Xia Jingyi suddenly turned pale and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Highness..."

Lu Chengen exclaimed, and hurried forward to support Xia Jingyi, his face full of concern.

"No problem!"

Xia Jingyi shook her head and said, "I can hold on for the time being."

Lu Chengen let out a burst of true energy silently, even though he is still seriously injured.

……

After Shen Du left the Eastern Palace, he returned to the main helm of the six gates of Gyeonggi.

Seeing Shen Du's return, the entire six gates in Gyeonggi instantly became a sensation.

Since Shen Du left, the Six Gates of Gyeonggi seemed to have lost their backbone.

In the hall, all the high-level officials from the six gates of Gyeonggi gathered one after another.

Shen Du looked at the crowd and asked, "Is there any news from Beijing recently?"

As soon as they arrived, they went to the East Palace, and they didn't know anything about the recent news in Beijing.

However, judging from the prince's attitude, Beijing and China may not be stable recently.

Everyone looked at each other, and Cheng Zhenlei said: "Recently, the situation in Beijing is a bit... weird."

In fact, he didn't know how to describe it, he just felt that everything was not quite right, which gave him an extremely depressing feeling.

"Almost every day, people from the rivers and lakes make trouble."

Cheng Zhenlei briefly recounted what happened in Beijing recently.

After listening to what Cheng Zhenlei said, Shen Du smiled, it seems that there are also smart people among these people.

They probably already guessed the real purpose of the prince sending him to leave Beijing.

Similarly, the news of the prince's assassination must have already spread, otherwise these people would not be so eager.

There is never an airtight wall in this world, no matter how well it is hidden, it will eventually be exposed.

Shen Du patted the wooden box on the table, looked at Xu Chong, and said indifferently: "Have someone hang this head on the gate of Yanjing City."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, their faces full of astonishment.

Xu Chong asked in surprise, "My lord, whose head is this?"

It was the first time he had seen Shen Du do this, was he trying to intimidate him?
"Shaolin bald donkey."

Shen Du said coldly: "Let people let out the wind and say that this is the head of Shaolin Kongwen. They attacked and killed me, and I beheaded it. I hung it on the city wall as a warning."

From the moment he beheaded Kong Wen, he and Shaolin's Liang Zi had formed a knot, even if he didn't do this, the Shaolin people would definitely not let him go.

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and their faces were full of shock.

Everyone in the Jianghu knows what the monks of the "Kong" generation in Shaolin represent.

If I really do this, I am afraid that I will directly poke a hornet's nest. Are those monks in Shaolin crazy?

There was a sudden panic in everyone's hearts.

Although they have joined Six Doors for a while, they were born in Jianghu after all, and they are somewhat afraid of Shaolin and other behemoths in Jianghu.

But they didn't dare to disobey Shen Du's order, so Xu Chong could only stand up and take the box.

After Shen Du gave some instructions, he got up and went to rest.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The Jianghu people who entered and exited Yanjing City suddenly discovered that there was a hideous head hanging on the city wall of Yanjing City, it was frozen livid, and there was a lot of blood on the face.

The bald head is particularly conspicuous.

"Which monk is this, who was killed and hanged here?"

People from the rivers and lakes in the past were full of curiosity, and many people gathered under the city wall, talking about it.

It is not uncommon to kill people, but it is extremely rare to kill people and hang their heads on the city wall.

"Shh!"

One suddenly looked around and said in a low voice, "Do you know who he is?"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them.

"Let me tell you, this is the Shaolin monk of the 'Kong' generation, one of the four Shaolin monks, Master Kongwen, a majestic and strong Dharma image."

Sikong heard that these Shaolin monks are very famous in Jianghu, and many people know them.

Even if you haven't seen it, you have heard of his reputation.

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly heard the sound of breathing one after another, and everyone was shocked.

"Is he a Shaolin monk?"

Everyone looked at the head and still couldn't believe it.

"Who is so bold that he even dares to kill Shaolin monks?"

If the key is to kill, he will be killed. With such a high profile, is it true that he is not afraid of Shaolin's revenge?

"You don't know that, do you?"

Among the crowd, a thin Jianghu man laughed in a low voice, "Now Fengmanlou has released the news that the person who beheaded Kongwen was Shen Du, the chief arrester of Gyeonggi."

"He returned to Beijing yesterday."

"what?"

"how can that be?"

"This should be a rumor, right?"

As soon as the voice fell, many people present exclaimed, and everyone's faces were full of disbelief.

The news is really astonishing.

Shaolin Kongwen is a famous monk who has been famous for a long time, and Shen Du is only in Yuanshen Realm, what ability does he have to kill Kongwen.

One sneered and said, "Maybe it's the same thing as last time with the Giant Spirit Gang, but it's just a mistake to put gold on my face."

"Shameless act!"

As soon as this remark came out, it resonated with many people.

"That's right!"

"Imperial eagle dog, you must die!"

Someone cursed in a low voice, their faces full of indignation.

"No, you don't know that, do you?"

The man who spoke earlier shook his head and said, "A few days ago, there was a big battle in Yinzhou Red Maple Valley. It seems that there are strong Dharma elephants fighting."

"Furthermore, someone saw Kongwen Divine Monk in Yinzhou at that time. Although there is no complete evidence, the news should be true."

"And now the new list has come out, and that Shen Du is ranked second on the list."

The faces of the people who were previously full of disdain suddenly froze, their expressions froze, and they couldn't say a word.

In fact, everyone already believed it to some extent, but it was just difficult to accept it for a while.
