Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty

"So fast?"

A cold light flashed in Sanjiao's eyes, Xiao Hou squeezed the wine cup tightly with his hands, and didn't get up.

"Probably not."

Sima Jin stopped An Bochen, who was about to inquire, and said.

The three of them knew very well that the person who came was either a member of the Left Prime Minister or someone from the royal palace.Due to emotion and reason, there is no possibility of attacking at this time, but if the three of them mess up and show their flaws, it is tantamount to throwing themselves into a trap.What's more, as early as a few days ago, "Master Li" used recuperation as an excuse to refuse visitors, and at this time he could only wait and see what happened.

The sound of horseshoes gradually died down, but the team of people and horses stopped in front of the Moyun Building, and after a while, there was a knock on the door, and a servant opened the door to greet him.

"Xiao Anzi, you go to pick up the guests... You go to ask for the sick Young Master Li."

Hearing this, An Bochen nodded. Although Xiaohou was in charge of all matters in the building these days, it was An Bochen who came forward to make arrangements, so he should go now.

"Bo Chen, don't panic. No matter who is coming, the more calm you are, the more you will make the other party unable to figure out the truth. Remember, greet people with a smile."

Xiao Hou instructed.

Without further words, An Bochen got up and went downstairs. The Moyun Tower had seven floors. Normally, An Bochen could run down the stairs in a flash, but now he walked very slowly.

The heavy rain was still falling, and the sky was gray. An Bochen looked calm, but he was very bored in his heart. He turned his head and looked out the window. The sky was low and the clouds were thick.

This is just the beginning...

Sighing softly, An Bochen had already walked to the bottom floor. Looking up, hundreds of horses were parked neatly outside the building. The knights on the horses were wearing exquisite armor, with only their eyes exposed, holding a halberd. It was the Habayashi guarding the palace. military.

"Brother An..."

The servant who opened the door looked at An Bochen nervously, and was about to say something when An Bochen stopped him.

"I'll handle it."

Lifting his feet and taking a step, An Bochen walked over with a calm face. Just as he stepped out of the Moyun Tower, a faint smile floated on his cheeks, and he bowed to the leading general to salute.

"The young master is sick and has not yet woken up. I have neglected the general. I hope you will forgive me."

"Exemption."

The general's face was slightly pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked tired.

It's no wonder that they were lucky to survive the bloodbath of Duke Huo last night.

An Bochen said in his heart, just about to say something, when the general suddenly asked.

"Who are you?"

"The youngest one is Tong An Bochen, the ink servant in front of Young Master Li."

An Bochen replied neither humble nor overbearing. He had just finished speaking when he felt countless eyes shooting at him. They were all soldiers who had just experienced a battle. There was still a murderous look in their eyes, which made An Bochen very uncomfortable.

Oops, could it be that Your Majesty knows my secret?

An Bochen tried to be calm, with a smile on his face, but his heart beat faster and faster, and he was uneasy.

Just when he was so nervous that he was almost out of breath, he heard the general in front of him laugh suddenly, his voice was slightly weird.

"So, you are An Bochen?"

Hearing this, An Bochen's heart suddenly rose to his throat, his eyes widened, and he looked at the general nervously.

"I really can't see it, but you took out Mr. Li's double mace with one shot."

When the words that followed came out, An Bochen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart, what happened last night spread early this morning, and the mouths of the aristocratic families really couldn't be idle for a moment.

However, the next sentence made Amber's heart suspend again.

"Your Majesty has already known about the fact that you and the Young Master of the Li family met to fight each other. He specially ordered a certain person to come here to deliver the decree. Five days later, there will be a martial arts performance at the Liujing University Teaching Field. At that time, Your Majesty will personally lead a group of ministers from the court to watch the battle. There will also be a great reward for the victor.”

After speaking, the general took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to An Bochen, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, then turned and left.

......

"It's a fight...Xiao Anzi, in five days, it will be up to you whether you are a male or a female."

On the seventh floor of the Moyun Building, Sima Jin teased An Bochen and said, from the corner of his eye, he looked at Xiao Hou who was looking at the imperial decree, and saw him caressing his beard, frowning, and not relaxing until the end of the scroll, wryly smiling and shaking. shook his head.

"This Zuoxiang is really a good method."

Sima Jin was thoughtful, while An Bochen looked puzzled. He was about to ask a question when Xiao Hou squinted his eyes and looked at him.

"Bo Chen, I'm here to test you, why did your majesty order someone to deliver the decree?"

Amber Chen shook his head.

"Huo Guogong's actions last night will definitely spread to the whole of Liujing and even the Ryu Kingdom. Huo Guogong is the veteran of the three dynasties and one of the few famous generals in Da Kuang today. If the rebellion fails to rectify the law, once this news spreads, it will be very important to the people of Liuzhou. It will take at least three or four years to recover from the blow to heart and morale."

Hearing this, An Bochen thought for a moment and said hesitantly.

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to take advantage of my battle with Young Master Li to divert everyone's attention to us?"

"That's just one of them."

Sima Jin interjected.

"No matter how happy you are playing, it is still not as shocking as Huo Guogong's death. The reason why Lord Liu issued an order so quickly was to attract the attention of the Liu people first, and to cast their eyes on Moyun Tower, so that Young Master Li can't be bothered. Dare to act rashly, and secondly, take advantage of the trend to create momentum for the engagement five days later."

Glancing at Xiao Hou, Sima Jin hesitated and said.

"Judging from this quick horse decree, Mr. Liu seems to intend to create a famous general of the Liu Kingdom after Huo Guogong's death. With Huo Guogong's lessons learned, I think he will definitely choose from a family. The Li family is from a famous family. Brother Young Master is quite famous, and he is very skilled in Taoism, it seems that Lord Liu wants to praise him."

Xiao Hou nodded, but said with a wry smile.

"What Miss Hongfu said is true. If Mr. Liu wants to praise that Mr. Li, he will definitely make a big splash about Bochen first. It is estimated that when the rain subsides, Bochen's name will probably spread in the capital. According to the present Due to the current situation, we need to avoid the limelight for the time being, cater to your majesty's wishes, and be reasonable in this battle, Bochen will lose this battle beautifully. But..."

Shaking his head, Xiao Hou threw the imperial decree in front of Sima Jin. Sima Jin read it, his face was calm at first, but at the end, his body trembled slightly.

"The winner can ask the king for a reward..."

From An Bochen's angle, one could clearly see the surprise flashing in Sima Jin's eyes.

An Bochen was slightly puzzled, but he realized it after a while.If he wins and asks for a reward from the king, wouldn't he be able to get Lord Jiuchen back? If he wins Lord Jiuchen, he will be able to get the secret book of immortals, which is also the ultimate goal of Sima Jin's trip to Liujing.

For some reason, Sima Jin's flash of surprise appeared in his mind, and An Bochen's heart was slightly darkened. He only felt that the rainy day was much more boring, so he heard Sima Jin continue to read.

"Since Liujing Dajiaochang is the battlefield, both sides have to fight the lottery. If Li Lin is defeated, the Li family will donate a thousand taels of gold and be responsible for repairing the palace. If An Bochen is defeated, Mr. Li will be responsible for repairing the palace and refund the money owed by the king. Under the two promises..."

After closing the imperial decree, Sima Jin looked out the window, his eyes flickering.

"Bronze horses carry gold and silver, and sing farewell to the emperor... I thought that the three promised sons had been used up, but only one was used, and the remaining two are equivalent to amulets, as long as they are not used for a day , Moyun Tower is still a transcendent existence in this Liujing."

"Exactly, but once this talisman is taken back by Mr. Liu, Mr. Li and Mo Yunlou will be thrown into the mortal world, or it may be that the left minister is going to tear his face to face Mr. Liu's arrangement."

Xiao Hou said, with a worried expression on his face.

Even if An Bochen didn't understand conspiracies and tricks anymore, after hearing what the two of them said, he already understood most of it in his heart.

The current situation can be described as a dilemma, the key lies in the battle he will have five days later.If he wins, he will win the king's will, even if he doesn't say anything at this time, he will definitely make things difficult in the future.But if they are defeated, no matter how young master Li is, no matter how Mo Yunlou is not Moyunlou, it may lead to the destruction of the family at any time, and the three of them are also in danger.

Dilemma between left and right, advance and retreat are also dangerous, the king's mind is unpredictable, and there is an even more unpredictable left minister watching over him. As soon as Huo Guogong died, An Bochen was already on the cusp, but he never thought of it.

"If it is unbeatable."

Hesitating, An Bochen asked.

Xiao Hou's eyes lit up, then dimmed in an instant.

"Just as Miss Hongfu said, what your lord wants is for Mr. Li's family to win and become famous. A tie seems to work, but it's not..."

"maybe."

Sima Jin's eyes flickered, and he interjected.

"If Mr. Liu only wanted Li Lin to shine, why did he propose that lottery?"

"Miss Hong Fu means...Your Majesty is also in a dilemma right now, should he attack Mo Yunlou?"

Contemplating, Xiao Hou played with the wine cup, his eyes flickering.

"If that's the case, then it's not difficult to explain all of this. The last lottery must have been added by Prime Minister Zuo, in order to deal with Young Master Li. Although your majesty has the heart to promote Li Lin, you may not be able to bear to see him talking and drinking with him back then. His son Li has fallen. Prime Minister Zuo asked him a difficult problem, and he threw this difficult problem to us, saying that the emperor's mind can't be guessed, but there are some things that don't need to be guessed at all."

Glancing at An Bochen from time to time, Xiao Hou said meaningfully.

Sima Jin, who was at the side, could see clearly and knew well that Xiao Hou wanted to pass on his wisdom and strategy to An Bochen in his speech, subtly, but it was impossible to guard against.Just stay with Xiaohou for three or two months, with An Bochen's comprehension, his resourcefulness will advance by leaps and bounds, and at the same time, his heart will gradually become unpredictable.

It would be a good thing for the current situation if Xiao Anzi could improve, but Sima Jin always felt a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because he couldn't bear to see the innocent boy fall into this vortex step by step
