The life in the imperial capital is relatively comfortable, the pace of life during the day is relatively fast, and at night it comes to entertainment time.

Big shots and high-ranking people can go to high-end clubs and red-sleeve brothels to have fun, and ordinary people can also choose a good place to listen to operas, go to taverns for a drink, and if they have a little money, they can go to the gambling house to play a couple of cards for fun .

But this is the imperial capital.

Take out a random brick and throw it down the stairs, and the person who hits it may be a Jianghu person, or an official scholar-bureaucrat.

The difference in class is clearly reflected here, and not everyone can enter the different blocks divided by different places.

And the most mysterious forbidden place in the Great Qin is the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City is a forbidden city, a city within a city. It is home to the most powerful family in the Great Qin Dynasty, which has more than half of the land resources in the Central Territory of Misery. It can be said that it can capture the prosperity of the world in the palm of your hand.

Today's Great Qin is also ushering in a painful period that the feudal dynasty will inevitably experience, just like women's monthly events. When the emperor changes, there will be disputes related to imperial power. In fact, any system is the same, even the distant In the beautiful country, there are also elections every few years. The decree comes out of the White House, but it has been overturned in a few years.

Outside a large hall, there was a middle-aged man in his forties standing outside Ziwei Palace.

In this winter day, in the empty and unpopular Forbidden City, the air is icy cold. Even middle-aged people in yellow and red robes still have cold hands and feet, but he knows that his cold hands and feet are not because of this. The weather, warriors are not afraid of cold and heat, he is also an innate anyway, so he will not be so unbearable, the reason why his hands and feet are cold is because there has been no response from the palace.

He had been waiting for a long time, but he frowned as he heard the constant coughing from the palace.

There was finally movement in the palace. A white-haired old man in green clothes approached, and when he saw the middle-aged man, he approached respectfully: "His Royal Highness, you should go back first, it will be terrible if you freeze your body... "

"Father still refuses to see me?" The middle-aged man asked, "Not a word?"

"Your Majesty is getting weaker and weaker, sometimes drowsy and sometimes sober. He may not have heard what the old slave said, let alone summoned His Highness." The father-in-law in Tsing Yi showed a helpless look.

The crown prince glanced at the father-in-law, and asked calmly: "Eunuch Liu, I have thanked you for taking care of my father..."

"What the old slave should do, the old slave entered the palace at the age of six and served the Holy One."

"It is said that Eunuch Liu used to be the shadow attendant of the father. After the father ascended the throne, you became his personal manager." The prince asked lightly.

"Yes, it is a great honor for His Royal Highness to know Lao Nu so well."

"But as a shadow waiter once, you will learn too many secrets. According to the rules, when the father is gone, you will also be buried."

The father-in-law in Tsing Yi's expression changed, and then he recovered: "This old slave has no complaints, this life was originally given by the Holy One."

"No, what should be said is that it was given to you by the first emperor and the royal family, and it is also your own achievement. After all, those people are almost dead." The prince raised his hand and looked at the moonlight on his nails: " It's a pity that you are a master of the Great Vientiane Realm, so it's a big loss for my Zhao family. I also think that burial is really a dispensable system. The Minister of Rites, um, has always supported me..."

The middle-aged man beckoned, and someone from behind handed over the stove, and the prince did not take the sedan chair, but just glanced at the father-in-law in Tsing Yi, his side face was illuminated by the lantern fire: "Think carefully, you are contributing a piece to the Zhao family. Li, I'd better keep it for Lingling, and let me know when you've made up your mind... But, as soon as possible."

The father-in-law in Tsing Yi raised his hands and bowed. He didn't say anything, but just lowered his head. He straightened up when the prince was far away, sighed, looked at the somewhat dark hall, and showed a bit of a wry smile... the imperial power The competition is always like this, a new generation replaces the old one, and the old one stands on the cusp of the storm, and it is inevitable to suffer some wind and rain.

The prince walked a few steps away, and a vigorous figure approached. He was also a father-in-law with gray hair, but his appearance was younger.

"Your Highness..."

"Eunuch Cao, do you think what I said is useful?" The prince waved away the subordinates on both sides, and talked to Eunuch Tsing Yi alone.

"It works, but his thoughts will definitely not change. Liu Laogui is indeed very loyal to the Zhao family. No matter how the imperial power changes, he will not fall to the new owner. Besides, he is also sure that he will not be killed, whether he will be buried or not. It doesn't make any difference to him, it's just that it sounds good or bad." Eunuch Cao said flatly, "With him guarding His Majesty, there is nothing that no one can do."

"Eunuch Cao can't do it either?"

"Old Ghost Liu is in the Great Myriad Phrases Realm, and can kill the Heavenly King Realm...and Cao is the best at breaking the heavenly king's vision with the Myriad Phrases. The difference has been highlighted in a few words of Jianghu's evaluation." Cao Zhong said without hesitation: "A couple In a confrontation, Cao is no match for him."

"I'm also reluctant to let Eunuch Cao go and work hard with his stubborn old man, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how to flatter me. Over the years, he has always ignored me. It's really annoying. If I ascend the throne in the future, I will teach him not to be able to climb high! "The prince slammed his fists against the wall, and then sighed fiercely: "Father really knows how to buy people's hearts, and I don't know what method he used to make two medical immortals take turns to extend his life. Five years."

The prince was very angry. If it wasn't for the old man who refused to die and lived on for fifteen years, he would have been enthroned long ago. One can imagine how aggrieved he felt after having been the prince for more than [-] years, close to [-] years. !

But the emperor is not dead, so what can he do?I can only bear it!Day and night, I hoped that he would die soon.

A year ago, the emperor fell ill. This time, even the medical immortals said that they were not sure and would not last long. At that time, the crown prince was in tears.

However, tears of excitement flowed out, and I woke up laughing even from a dream that night.

But what he didn't expect was that the current situation had already changed, and it was no longer that he could justifiably inherit the throne as a prince.

He hated the old emperor not because he refused to die early, but the most hateful thing was that in the past fifteen years, another prince had grown up.

The old emperor was afraid that the prince would directly compete for the imperial power, so he deliberately supported another branch. This is the way of checks and balances in the emperor's mind. His position can be the most stable when he watches others compete.

The prince's face sank like water: "How long is there?"

"Soon, either tomorrow or today... King Zhenbei will enter the capital."

Speaking of King Zhenbei, Prince Zhao Hou sneered a few times: "I knew I was critically ill, so I couldn't come back in time...how many troops did you bring?"

"Not many, it seems to be just the family members of Zhenbei Wangfu. If it is King Qin, the troops under Zhenbei Wang's command alone will not be enough." Cao Zhongdao: "The competition is still the number of people, the number of the king of heaven."

"Father is still alive, how can he be king?" Zhao Hou sneered: "Now, I don't want him to die... If he really can figure it out, he will directly issue an imperial decree for me to inherit the throne, nothing will happen." Have."

"Your Highness is calm, and Cao is pleased." Cao Zhong said slowly: "The most taboo thing now is to act rashly...you deliberately told Eunuch Liu these things to keep him vigilant."

"That's right." The prince said indifferently: "King Zhenbei is a hero. He has blocked the barbarians in the north for so many years, and he has also contained the wolf kings on the grassland. He has broken several backbones. He has made great contributions to the Great Qin's defense of the border, so let him have a good time." Let's just go to Beijing... But if he wants to seize the imperial power, he is destined to be unqualified... Let's go, let's go drink tonight, drink until dawn, and wait for him to come to Beijing."

"Your Highness is very interested, but should we wait for the banquet?" Cao Zhong said unhurriedly: "The people from the Demon Sect have already arrived, and I'm afraid it's not safe to leave the Forbidden City."

"People from the Demon Sect are also here, so let them come and go." The prince sneered.

……

In the struggle for imperial power, the ultimate means must be considered, that is, brute force, just like arranging troops, you need to list the advantages and disadvantages of the forces.

Not everyone is interested in political struggles, but there are always some forces that have to attach themselves to one side of the political forces in order to gain benefits.

Inevitably, many people fished in troubled waters, trying to pick up some benefits, and tore off a piece of flesh from the giant's body, but they didn't know that they were picking chestnuts from the fire.

Beside the lamp, Yan Qixia was writing ink with plain hands, writing words.

There are a lot of handwriting scattered on the paper in a mess, and the words "Ministry of Rites" and "Department of Households" can be seen in sequence, but they are all crossed out, leaving only "Military Department" with a question mark on the side; and Yunlu Academy is also a Question marks, in addition to this, there are some taboos of the powers of the rivers and lakes, and there are also "Witch God Cult", "Wuji Demon Gate" and "Sacred Fire Cult" of the Outer Nine Ways. Words such as these are linked and dense like a net.

She didn't know what to think about, her pupils were very bright under the candlelight.

At this time, Yan Qixia heard the movement, she unhurriedly took off the paper, put it on the candle and lit it, watched the flame burn into ashes, the air was full of burning breath, and then turned her gaze to the source of the movement.

In the dark night, there was a woman sitting on the edge of the window with a bright red bracelet on her wrist.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Yan Qixia looked at her: "Long time no see, Beiming Qingqiu."

"Long time no see." Beiming Qingqiu stood under the moonlight: "Your face is still the same as before, so it's no wonder he likes you so much."

------------------

ps: This is actually a new volume, but because I am lazy, I didn’t divide the volume. There are more than [-] chapters, and it would be exhausting to re-divide the volume, so I simply didn’t divide the volume.

Old readers of my writing habits also know that there is only one fixed female character in a volume, or there is no one, or the main character is portrayed. If the heroine of the previous volume is Rei Hanyu, then the heroine of this volume is End hibiscus.

It took more than [-] million words to complete the role of Duan Mujin and the emotional line, but this is not the end. If this continues, she is just a vase, and as one of the roles of the Iron Triangle, she must play a sufficient role to advance the plot.

So her personal plot has just begun, and this volume is her main stage. As for why the main plot of Duan Mujin, a modern person, is placed in a different world, well, let’s not show it for the time being.

I have mentioned many times in the group that the plots have to be read consecutively. Many plots seem to be disconnected, but they are actually connected. The content of the next volume has been decided long before the book is opened. , is also a breaking point of the different world plot that has been laid out for so long. A lot of foreshadowing buried in the premise has to be used. There are many characters on the stage and the plot is relatively complicated. Role relationship table.

But after all, it is the first time to try this kind of complex long-form original, which involves multi-party power competition and even political struggle. I am not sure how much effect can be written. I can only say that it is scheduled to be scheduled, and the level of excitement is much stronger than the previous volume. , and theoretically, this plot should have been released at [-] words long ago, but it was dragged until this time, and I feel very emmmmm...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"The imperial capital, the imperial capital..."

On the carriage, Shirataki tapped his knees, looking at the busy scenery, it was clear that there was still some distance to the imperial capital, but the road was already a bit congested.

Looking out of the car window, people are almost everywhere, and the speed of the carriage has slowed down. The famous horse is stepping on the horse's hooves uneasy, and seems to be very unhappy with the things in front of it. It probably dreamed of itself last night. It's a dump truck that wants to run over everything it sees.

Inside the carriage are Lan Xiangxue and Xiuyu.

A brief summary of the previous situation, after nearly a hundred real-life chapters and plots, some people have already forgotten these two girls.

Xiuyu, the princess of the Fanyue Valley town, is the imperial capital she brought Bai Long to this time. She was entrusted by someone, and the purpose is unclear. Sanwu looks like a loli, but she is actually an adult woman in her twenties who can't speak .

Lan Xiangxue, an assassin girl, appeared at the beginning of the game, she appeared to be a heroine, too much information to repeat, so she turned to the first page and read it again.

These two girls were the only ones who followed Bai Taki through thousands of rivers and mountains. After leaving Jinling, they went all the way to the imperial capital and played three dungeons on the way, namely Qingshan Town, Tianxiang Pavilion and Panlong Villa.

I went to the ghost market in Qingshan Town; a case was solved in the Tianxiang Pavilion, and a senior sister Su Ruoshui was found; revenge.

It's just that the words left by Lan Xiangxue's mother, Mrs. Lan, left a few doubts in Bai Taki's mind.

Fanyue Valley is probably not a good place to go.

What Bai Taki is thinking about now is whether to keep Lan Xiangxue by his side for the time being, or to check the situation after visiting Fanyue Valley. With his luck and ability to handle affairs, if there is any problem, he only needs to go there. It will definitely explode.

Due to the changes in the real world, Shirataki's mood and strength have also undergone corresponding changes.

For Lan Xiangxue and Xiuyu, the time has passed only a few days, but Bai Taki has experienced a lot, his strength has improved greatly, his mood has become more mature, and his attitude towards them has also undergone subtle changes.

Trust, naturally trust, not to mention the place, Lan Xiangxue has long been devoted to him, even a fool can see it, this goodwill blessing, even if she dies, she can wipe her neck without hesitation, as for the embroidered jade. It's a bit special, but this girl has been a little clingy to him recently, I don't know why, it seems that the favorability has increased a lot, making people puzzled.

Maybe it's the reason why I came here in a hurry and didn't bring Huanggang exam papers for her?

Usually Xiuyu can't be said to be too close to Bai Taki, she is a mature woman in heart, of course she doesn't like flirting with the opposite sex, even her elder brother is rarely able to get close to each other so intimately, but now she has lost With a bit of reserve, he let Shirataki ravage her hair, spoiling the silk-like three thousand black silk, every once in a while he would take out his comb and braid her hair or something.

Shirataki was also at the hot spring hotel. After waking up, he saw Rei Hanyu who had just woken up. She grabbed her and said that she would help comb her hair. Combing a girl's hair is very addictive. It feels so addictive. You can comb it Good hair needs to be tied up, so he picked up his phone and searched the Internet for dozens of types of tied hair. After trying ten times in a row on Rei Hanyu's hair, he has gradually gotten used to it and become more proficient.

At first I thought it was fun to tie a sky-high braid, but now I can easily get a good-looking hairstyle. Not only are there many changes, but it is not monotonous. With Xiuyu's delicate face, any hairstyle is suitable.

Xiuyu is like a Barbie doll, but Lan Xiangxue is already a young girl. The assassin girl is holding a sword, her eyes are envious. She also wants to have her hair combed, but she is too embarrassed to speak. , she wrapped her fingers around her hair, giving a hint from time to time, and then her hairstyle began to change every day.

Bai Taki could feel the closeness of Lan Xiangxue and Xiuyu, but inexplicably felt a little resistance. People are like this, and the number of people they can pretend in their hearts is limited. Some people live in, while others are squeezed out. If there are too many, it will be scattered. The cake is so big, and each person can eat it in one bite. Everyone can only satisfy their greed.

There is a joke that goes like this, a dead house changes wives every three months.

But the dead house knows that there can only be one wife at a time, and those who want to open a harem should reflect on themselves.

The angle is tricky.

Shirataki tied a whip to Xiuyu. This time it was a simpler hairstyle. Her hair quality was so good that even if she didn't do anything, it fell down like black satin. He patted the girl on the shoulder lightly. , motioning her to sit aside a little, he wanted to see the imperial capital.

How many people may not remember, Shirataki did not come to the emperor without a purpose.

He came to kill.

As for who to kill, it goes without saying for now.

"This imperial capital is still as prosperous as ever, and it is indeed a prosperous age." Bai Taki said in a low voice, "It's hard to imagine that in such a prosperous age, there would still be a group of thieves who couldn't eat enough to go to the land twenty miles outside Tianfu Prefecture. Raid the nunnery."

Xiuyu has already learned some sign language and gestured a few times - this is not the first time you have come to the Imperial Capital.

"No." Shirataki said indifferently: "I didn't stay here for a long time last time, I think it was an unpleasant experience."

Xiuyu didn't speak, but she couldn't hide her expression - you don't like this place.

"I don't like it. I hide too many desires. People from the rivers and lakes, officials, scholar-officials, commoners, experts, and mortals are all mixed in the crowd. I can't tell them apart or understand them." Bai Long rested his cheeks: "I don't know. I like to say some cynical things about the world. We are not people in the iron house of the Republic of China. It’s just that the world will probably not get better. The imperial capital is a dye vat. Whoever goes in and walks it once, don’t think about it completely. come out."

He looked at the imperial capital as if he looked at a burning house and a furnace. Whoever jumped into it must have desires in his heart.
