supreme heaven

() In the dimly lit room, there is only a faint light cast down through the skylight. Reflecting the ray of sunlight, one can vaguely see the furnishings in the room, the antique tables and chairs, and the walls on both sides. His celebrity calligraphy and paintings are worth a lot just by looking at them. A man in his 40s is wearing a purple python robe, with his back facing the sun, holding a scroll of silk books in his left hand. Rubbing against the mahogany table, almost every finger has calluses, especially the yellowed ancient jade wrench on the thumb, which is really conspicuous.No one would dare to underestimate this man, because calloused hands must be able to hold a sword steadily, and the ancient jade finger is prepared for pulling a strong bow.

As a figure appeared outside the door, he put down the scroll in his hand, slowly picked up a white porcelain tea bowl with his left hand, opened the bowl with his right hand, and took a small mouthful.The tea is very fragrant, and it is the Dragon Well tea of ​​imperial tribute.

The man put down the teacup next to his mouth, and said in a deep voice to the person who walked in: "Give me a seat!"

"Thank you, my lord!" The voice of the person who came was like a bell, and even contained turbulent power. If ordinary people heard it lightly, they would feel tinnitus and dizziness, and if it was serious, they would even faint. In a corner of the room, he sat down on a mahogany armchair.

"Zhan Tian, ​​I already know about your son." The man looked at the person in front of him and said slowly.

"Qin's lack of control, please punish him!" Qin Zhantian cupped his hands and said, "This minister must be strictly controlled when he goes back!"

Hearing this sentence, the man just waved his hand lightly and said: "Zhan Tian, ​​you don't have to embarrass your son too much. Although the dead are two guards in brocade clothes and swords, fortunately, both of them are Zhi Gebo and Zhi Gebo, the former troops of our army. Uncle Yongwu's son, it's not difficult to hide it."

Hearing the man's words, Qin Zhantian's body trembled slightly. He said it lightly. In the eyes of this scheming general, it was more of a threat: Zhigebo and Yongwubo died all at once. The son of an earl in the army, these two are generals who hold military power, is this a small matter?Not small at all!

Before Qin Zhantian could speak, the man said again: "Don't worry Zhantian, with my friendship with you, I won't let them embarrass Gu Yue's nephew. There is just one thing, this king feels very strange..."

"My lord, please speak."

The man tapped his right hand slightly on the table and said: "The king ordered people to look at the corpses of these two people. The cause of death was a sharp knife piercing through the heart, and the soft armor was directly pierced from the back of the heart. The wound is very small. ..." As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand and pinched the index finger and thumb together, gestured to the faint light cast by the skylight, and said, "It's probably only a wound of less than an inch."

Qin Zhantian cupped his hands and muttered: "My lord, that must only be done by a master with the strength of Wu Zong and supplemented by a special hidden weapon. Could it be the legendary hidden weapon: ghost tooth search soul?"

"No, there are no hidden weapons at the scene, not even traces left by the fall. And..." The man opened his eyes and looked at Qin Zhantian and said, "Ghost teeth and soul search are all poisoned, and the muscles will turn black after death , There is no sign of being injured by these hidden weapons at all, and the strangest thing is that there are only a few Wuzong masters in the palace, and it is impossible for others to sneak in silently!" After finishing speaking, the man turned his sharp eyes on Qin Zhan Tian seemed to be asking something.

"Impossible!" Qin Zhantian argued, "This Zhuzi has been insane since he was a child. Not only did Qin not teach him martial arts, Shang Yuqiong from Tianlongyin Pavilion looked at his talent a few days ago, and said that this kid is a good-for-nothing. One, how could it be possible to have the strength of Wu Zong!"

"Since it's not a martial arts expert, could it be the demonic arts of Yingzhou's demonic arts? You know, these demonic arts are pervasive to the imperial court!" The man paused and said: "My king The messengers have inquired that there is a lost magic method in the Yingzhou Demon Dao, which can condense the spiritual power into a physical body to injure the enemy, and after injuring the enemy, the spiritual power dissipates invisible without leaving any traces, which is exactly the same as the method of this murder case."

"Qin has always been very strict, and the dog has never been out of the Hou's mansion, how could he collude with the demon way?" Qin Zhantian hastily argued, you must know that in the Shengtian Dynasty, the court officials colluded with the Yingzhou demon way not only If you want to cut off your position and title, if it is serious, you will be imprisoned and convicted.

Following Bing Ge Hou Qin Zhantian's defense, the man's eyes never left him from the beginning to the end. Even though his eyes were slightly squinted, they still showed a sharpness that wanted to see through people's hearts. Finally, he slowly opened his eyes, with a faint expression on his face. He said with a smile: "Zhan Tian, ​​​​you don't have to rush to defend yourself, justice is at your fingertips, and this king also believes that you will not let go of your figure to collude with the demons of Yingzhou. What."

"Yes, yes, Qin understands." Qin Zhantian promised.

Hearing Qin Zhantian's words, the man smiled slightly, stood up from the chair, walked slowly to Qin Zhantian's side, stretched out his hand, and patted him on the shoulder lightly. Yi Pai said: "Zhan Tian, ​​this king knows that you are a smart person, and you have seen that kid's tricks. I don't want you to become the second Lanlinghou!"

Qin Zhantian was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern."

"Go back!" The man turned around and waved his hands at Qin Zhantian.

"Qin is saying goodbye!"

……

Bingge Hou Mansion, study room.

When Qin Zhantian came back, he saw a young woman wearing light yellow neon clothes and a high bun sitting sideways on Qin Zhantian's desk. The woman's skin was as creamy as ice and snow. At this moment, she With a slight smile, a pair of jade-like fingers are gently flipping through the books Qin Zhantian piled up on the table.

In the entire Bingehou Mansion, the only woman who can freely enter and leave Qin Zhantian's study to read books is the present Mrs. Bingehou, Qin Aofeng's biological mother: Mrs. Bo.Seeing Qin Zhantian walk in, she got up slowly, gave up the chair, smiled at him and said, "Master Hou, you are back."

Qin Zhantian nodded slightly, sat on his chair, closed the open book in front of him, looked at the cover of the book on the table, but did not raise his head and said to Mrs. Bo: "What do you think I will do with that kid?" Okay? How should I do it?"

Hearing Qin Zhantian's words, Mrs. Bo showed a contemptuous smile on her face: "I don't know what kind of military affairs is so important that Lord Hou can't do anything, but it's that trash who is as stupid as a donkey!"

Hearing these words, Qin Zhantian frowned slightly, but he didn't stop Bao Ji from continuing, "Master Hou, why don't you let that waste go to Yunshui Villa to retire early? Do you want to keep him here in Yunjing City?" Is it embarrassing here? Let people poke the backbone of our Binggehou Mansion and say, Lord Hou, you don’t accumulate virtue and raise a useless idiot son?"

"That's enough..." Qin Zhantian finally couldn't listen anymore, stood up and interrupted Bao Ji and said, "Even if he is useless, he is still my son. I am angry with him, but I hate him for not being up to date...and I I also promised his mother..."

Madam Bo raised her lips slightly and said: "Master Hou, others will not talk about this child, they will only talk about you behind your back, that trash is your son, so Aofeng is not the son of Lord Hou? I don't know how many times stronger Aofeng is than that trash..."

"Aofeng...well, Aofeng is indeed very good..." Qin Zhantian pondered for a moment, Mrs. Bo took a step forward, wrapped Qin Zhantian's shoulders with those boneless hands and said softly: "Aofeng He has already broken through the martial arts realm, but as long as this trash is here, all eyes will only be on him, and he will be the laughing stock of our family and the target of attacking you... Marquis, you should understand that Aofeng is The hope and future of Bingehou Mansion."

Hearing Bo Ji's words, Qin Zhantian suddenly remembered what the man said: "There are so many people in Yunjing City, it's hard to guarantee that others won't say more..."

"Master Hou, what's the matter with you, why is there so much cold sweat on your forehead?" Bo Ji took out her scented handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Qin Zhantian's forehead as she said.

This Yunjing City is now a vortex where it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. If Gu Yue continues to stay here, there is no guarantee that the two families will not make trouble for Gu Yue... and the charge of colluding with the demon way...

Qin Zhantianxia consciously raised his hand to block Bo Ji's handkerchief, and said slowly: "

"Okay, send him to Yunshui Villa."

"Master Hou, you have finally made up your mind." Mrs. Bo smiled, walked towards Qin Zhantian, picked up the teapot beside the desk and poured a bowl of tea for Qin Zhantian, and handed it over with both hands. : "When will you let him go?"

Qin Zhantian held the celadon tea bowl, lifted the lid, took a sip, put it down and said, "A month later, but I will write to ask Qin Bang, the housekeeper of Yunshui Villa, to give him half of the annual tax. I have nothing to do with martial arts, at least I want to let him have enough food and clothing... In the southeast, it is good to be a rich man."

Qin Zhantian didn't notice that the complexion of Mrs. Bo standing behind him had changed, she bit her teeth lightly, and her long fingertips were almost embedded in her flesh, as if she had made up her mind.

One month later, Bingge Hou Qin Zhantian finally announced a news to the outside world. The 11-year-old Qin Aofeng has already broken through to the realm of martial arts soldiers. From next year, he will personally teach Qin Aofeng the unique martial arts skills of the Qin family, not just learning the "Seven Skills of Bing Ge", which is passed down from generation to generation by the Qin family as internal strength.At the same time, he also announced his decision to be engaged to Duan Yanran, the 13-year-old daughter of Qin Aofeng and Hubu Shangshu Duan Canghai. The two political allies will rely on this marriage to further cooperate.

Of course, some insiders said that this marriage has been settled long ago, and it was even in the form of a finger-to-belly marriage. However, it was not Qin Aofeng who was going to marry Duan Yanran, but Qin Guyue, but now Qin Guyue has become the entire Yunyun. The laughing stock of the capital, and Qin Aofeng is a genius who shocked the entire Yunjing City, a genius who broke through the realm of martial arts at the age of 11, and a pair of brothers. In comparison, such an important task of maintaining the family can only be handed over to his younger brother undertook.

When announcing these series of heavy news, as for Qin Guyue...

It had been a dark and stormy night for a month, and he left Yunjing City in a carriage.
