The Inverted Dragon is Scale

Assorted courtyard. Peach blossom garden.

Peach garden is the most remote small courtyard in the assorted courtyard. It is far away from the main courtyard where the Cui family lives, but it is very close to the "unknown courtyard" where some servant maids and grooms live.

Peach garden is close to Wuxi. Open the back door of the courtyard and you can see the gurgling stream flowing through the corner. Rows of peach trees are planted on both sides of the Wuxi river. Now it is the time when peach flowers are in full bloom. Large areas of peach red are reflected in the stream, just like ten mu of peach forest hidden in the Wuxi river.

Under the peach blossom tree, sat an old man.

There was a pony stool under the old man's ass, holding a fishing rod in his hand, his eyelids open and closed, sitting there lazily dozing off.

Perhaps because he was afraid of the cold, the old man was covered with a black black rock bear skin. This bear skin was large and thick, with shiny hair. At a glance, he knew it was the best black rock bear skin from the old forest of black rock.

Also because of this bear skin, it is difficult to ignore the identity of the old man. Otherwise, he would be no different from those old men who squatted by the lake in order to catch some fish and go back to improve their food or sell some copper coins.

Just then, the sound of gentle footsteps came from far and near.

A beautiful woman in a plain white dress stood beside the old man and reached out to help the old man pick up and cover the falling bear skin.

"Be careful." The old man opened his eyes and said without looking back.

"Why did grandpa fall asleep here again? It's windy and cold by the stream. Grandpa's health is not good. If he's sleepy, he'd better go back to the house and sleep. " Cui carefully stood behind the old man and said in a reproachful tone.

"Hahaha, you'd better be careful and love Grandpa. Everyone else is looking for a way out, but they don't have time to worry about Grandpa's life and death. "

"Grandpa and aunt, they can't help it either. Great changes have taken place in the family, the death of their husbands and the distribution of their hair. How can they bear this? Now there is a way to survive - besides, no one cares about you, everyone cares about your body. Just don't dare to come up and persuade. "

"Well, well, I just say that casually, but I won't seriously see them. If I'm angry with them, I need to go to this peach blossom yard alone to live? I'm up to them. This is Cui Shi. I'm sorry for them. If you can really find a good way out, it's also a good thing. "

"I wish grandpa could think so. For Grandpa, the most important thing now is to take care of his body. " Cui carefully smiled and said, "just don't sleep by the stream in the future. If you accidentally fall down and get cold, what can you do? "

"Grandpa was fishing, but he accidentally narrowed down and slept for a while - before, what could this little stream do to me? Raise your hand and fill it up. As for this little bit of cold outside, I don't pay attention to it at all - but I didn't expect to be bound and worried one day. "

"Grandpa - can't let go?" Cui looked at the old man carefully and asked aloud.

She knew that grandpa was still bitter about Cui's decline, and it was difficult to let go of the destruction of his cultivation.

"Put it down." Cui Xichen shook his head and sighed and said, "put it down."

"Grandpa still can't let go."

"Those big monks say that this is called stubbornness. Too persistent, it is more and more difficult to see through. So, what is so easy to understand? "

"Grandpa will be a good idle man. He has nothing to drink, drink, fish and listen to the Scriptures spoken by the big monks - when he is old, don't think about what he has or doesn't have."

"Although Cui suffered disaster, his reputation did not exist, and his reputation did not exist, he ended up like this today -- but he finally saved the lives of the whole family. As long as people are still there, they will eventually rise again. "

"Let's leave the matter of revitalizing the family hope to us. Let's give it to us. Grandpa has a good life and rest ----"

"In your hands?" Cui Xichen shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "even those disciples dare to break through the wall. How dare you expect you to revitalize the court? Unfortunately, I'm an old loser. I really can't do anything. "

"If grandpa doesn't feel at ease, I have a plan --"

"What plan? For what? "

"Grandpa, what are the most prestigious companies in Tiandu city now?"

"The Yan family is on the bright side, and the Lu family is on the dark side."

"Lu gained the most and benefited the most from this change, but it also dissatisfied many people. Moreover, this is the critical moment for the invasion of the demon clan. It is said that Lu XingKong personally went to the front camp to command -- "

Cui Xichen's eyes were bright for a moment, and he asked in a deep voice, "where does this news come from?"

"A Xu's son accidentally mentioned it when he went to my place for tea. Grandpa also knows that Xu Da is the spokesman of the land, transport and air force in the military - what Xu's children say is still extremely credible. "

Cui Xichen was silent.

"Grandpa, this is Cui's last chance --" Cui whispered carefully. "If grandpa can contact Huiwang at this time to make a drastic draw -- - what do grandpa think of the result?"

"Huh?" Cui Xichen turned and looked at Cui carefully. Looking at the child he regarded as the smartest child in the family, Cui Xichen asked aloud, "King Hui?"

"Huiwang is extremely dissatisfied with Lu XingKong's behind the scenes manipulation of the Korean situation. If Grandpa is willing to go and have a secret talk with him, he will be able to persuade him to stand on our side."

Cui Xichen shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Grandpa is useless now. What can I negotiate with him?"

"It's not negotiation, it's attachment." Cui carefully smiled and said, "Grandpa just doesn't have a direct army. However, grandpa has a reputation. Grandpa knows how to judge the situation and know the major events in the world. Since ancient times, there are still a few scholars who have nothing on the stage? Lu XingKong is holding the army. Why has he been afraid by the royal family for many years? "

"Besides, at this time, the more you have nothing, the more you can get the trust of Huiwang. Although the Yan family is also deeply trusted by Huiwang, isn't Huiwang worried that Yan will become another song family or Lu family? What does Huiwang think now? Don't you just want to keep your country stable for thousands of years? "

"What does Huiwang need most now? We need a wise man who can compete with Lu XingKong, but has no military power at hand - in the past, Grandpa, Lu XingKong and song lonely were called "three kings of the Empire". Song lonely is dead, and Lu XingKong can only hide behind the scenes as a living dead man. Now, only grandpa can help Huiwang -- "

"I'm useless. How can I compete with the land, the air and the air?"

"Grandpa, if Huiwang really wants you and Lu XingKong to contain each other, he will give you everything you need -- military power, lineage, money, and most importantly, he will give you respect and reputation."

"Yes." Cui Xichen was obviously moved by the words of his granddaughter. The most important thing is that perhaps this has always been something he planned and didn't want to give up“ As long as I am willing to stand up and contain the land, transport and air, I am sure that your majesty will accept and trust me again - at that time, you will certainly give me the supreme power status. The Yan family, the Shangguan, and the kings of various towns will also obey me. These belong to your majesty, but your majesty will lend them to me. What can I do with my strength? "

"In the Empire, I'm the only one who can fight with the land, the air and the air."

"In this way, Cui can rise again and become a famous family."

"Yes." Cui Xichen sighed heavily“ What has happened these days is clear to me. In the past, when I was prosperous, who dared to speak loudly with me? The world is hot and cold. When Cui was in trouble, he was a small general Feiyu. He dared to let me kneel down and take orders, and dared to whip me with a horse whip - ---- Zhao Dexiang, I will kill him. "

At this point, Cui Xichen's eyes were wide open, his hands clenched his fists, and his fingers were pinched with bones.

"Grandpa, it's all over, it's all over, but don't be angry -- it's bad for your body --"

"It's all over? Those famous families treat us like pigs and dogs, like dead people. Even their younger generation, those ignorant playboys, dare to blatantly seduce my Cui woman -- the threshold of the cherry blossom building that they live carefully is about to be broken by them, right? Who dared them before? Who dares? "

"Grandpa ----"

"I know. I know in my heart. So the big monk said let me put it down - how can I put it down? I regret it. It would have been nice if Lu XingKong had killed me with a sword. Where do I need to experience this and see this -- "

"You said let me drink tea and fish and listen to the Buddhist scriptures. The tea tastes bitter and the fish is painful. The Buddhist scriptures can't cross people. What's the use?"

“------”

"If what you said is true, if Lu XingKong is really not in Tiandu, it is indeed a good opportunity -- but I can't meet your Majesty in person. I have to find a middleman to test it."

"Does grandpa have a goal?"

"Cui has stood in the court for thousands of years. Is it so easy to be knocked down and swept away? There are always some pieces that no one else can think of. "

"Grandpa has decided?"

"It's decided." Cui Xichen threw the fishing rod in his hand and let him sink into the water“ It's better to gamble again with vigour and vitality than to muddle along

"I support grandpa's choice." Cui's eyes filled with red light and disappeared in an instant“ Moreover, I will also have a big gift for Grandpa. "

"What gift?"

"Grandpa will know then." Cui said with a careful smile.

Cui Xichen turned to look at Cui carefully and said thoughtfully, "I feel very different from before."

"What's different?"

"I never cared about these political disputes before. Even if you take the initiative to mention it to you, you will talk about him. I know you are smart. You are the wisest child of our Cui family. But if you don't like it, I've never forced you. But I didn't expect that one day you would take the initiative to talk to me about this and come to me, an old man, to come up with such a good idea. Be careful -- you've grown up. "

"The world is hot and cold." Cui carefully sighed and said, "a person's mind will change with everything he encounters."

"I just hope you can get better and better. If you really don't like it, leave it to Grandpa - as long as grandpa is still alive, we'll find a way to protect you from the wind and rain. "

"Grandpa, let's be careful to share your worries." Cui carefully whispered, "be careful, there's a small requirement ----"

"What requirements?"

"When grandpa goes to see his majesty, be careful to accompany Grandpa."

"You want to see King Hui?" Cui Xichen looked puzzled.

"If your majesty is confused, be careful. You can also help to plead your case." Cui carefully smiled and said, "I'm afraid your majesty still has a heart knot for Grandpa. Moreover, when I went to pledge, your majesty felt safer, didn't he? "

Cui Xichen pondered for a moment and said aloud, "OK, I promise you. With careful mental wisdom, I can handle it freely. "

"Then we'll make a deal." Cui said with a careful smile.

palace. Hall of benevolence and harmony.

This is a side hall in the Xifeng palace. It was originally used to deal with important military aircraft for his majesty. Later, after the military aircraft office was established, the emperor directly summoned ministers at the military aircraft office. Even his majesty rarely came here. In the words of the little Eunuch in the palace, "it's colder here than the cold palace.".

Today, the king of the west wind arrived here, and the Renhe hall was heavily guarded inside and outside. Several of the top ten offerings in the palace came, and even a mosquito could not fly in.

"The sinner Cui Xichen knocks at his majesty. Long live your majesty." Cui Xichen knelt down and saluted, his head banging heavily on the bluestone floor.

Because of excessive force, when I raised my head, there was already a purple blue on my forehead.

Cui carefully knelt down beside his grandfather, just saluted silently and didn't speak.

Hui Wang sat on the master's chair and tasted fragrant tea leisurely.

"Taifu said, do you want to see me?"

"Yes, your majesty." Cui Xichen replied respectfully.

"What's up?"

"Although the sinner is idle at home, he worries about his majesty and our Xifeng Empire all day. In this way, we can repay your Majesty's grace. "

"Oh, tell me, what are you worried about?"

"There are strong enemies outside and power traitors inside. The west wind is full of disasters. I think your Majesty must have no food and no sleep. Your Majesty's worries are also the worries of sinners. So he begged the grand master to help me express my gratitude. The sinner wanted to see his majesty. "

"Unexpectedly, I really didn't think of it." Huiwang sneered and said, "I didn't expect that the gentleman I invited personally for my son was also a nail arranged by Cui Xichen -- tell me, how many people are there for you, Cui Xichen, inside and outside the palace?"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Cui Xichen crawled on the ground again and said in a deep voice, "is it the king's land under the whole world. Is it Wang Chen who leads the land. All the courtiers are your Majesty's courtiers. The sin minister was kind to him only when Taifu was young, so he was willing to agree to the sin minister's request -- please your majesty make a clear observation. "

"Mingcha? Are there few nails in my palace? " Hui Wang said with a ferocious face, "some people are bold. I won't pay attention to the emperor. "

"That's why the sinner came."

"Oh? Washing the dust may share my worries? "

Cui Xichen looked around and said, "Your Majesty, sinners are brave. Please worship and avoid for the time being."

"Bold!" The Imperial Guard shouted fiercely.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Huiwang thought for a moment, his face gradually eased, and said, "I know that the divine skill of washing dust is destroyed. Be careful that it is a daughter's house. I don't think it will harm me - - father Rui stays. Everyone else will withdraw first."

Father Rui is also one of the several experts in the court. He is escorted by him. With Cui Xichen and Cui careful cultivation, it is impossible to hurt King Hui.

"Yes, your majesty!" Soon, all the serving guards hidden everywhere retreated.

"Well, now you can tell me your good plan." Hui Wang stared at Cui Xichen and said“ Wash the dust, you and I had a fight before, so when you Cui committed an offence, I couldn't bear to drop the butcher's knife. But there is only one chance -- "can you understand?"

King Hui brought all the merits of Lu XingKong's pleading for Cui's family to himself. After all, he is your majesty, and the credit of the minister is his credit.

"The sinner understands."

"Well, I'm all ears."

"The sinner felt that his majesty lacked a wolf."

"Huh?"

"Lu XingKong is a wild tiger. He doesn't dare to do anything. Therefore, your majesty lacks a wolf to bite. In this way, your majesty can be safe and secure. "

"Can wolves fight tigers?"

"Wolves can't fight tigers, but wolves can. The sinner is willing to be the wolf king and lead the wolves to fight the tiger and kill the dragon. "

"Fighting tigers and killing dragons?" Hui Wang smiled bitterly“ It's easier said than done. "“ Not before, but now -- it's a good opportunity. "“ What do you say? "“ Demon invasion, China catastrophe. But it is also a good time for countries to reshuffle their power - Peacock King yingboyan is ambitious and wants to lead an army to devour the world. As a result, the great cause failed, but those three eyed demons - "sinners" heard that Lu XingKong had reached an agreement with the peacock king, and had sent 200000 male soldiers from Los Angeles to the Great Wall to fight against demons, and sent countless expert generals to help. Moreover, Lu XingKong is still not at ease. He has personally gone to the front line to command -- the guilty minister doesn't know. Has Lu XingKong ever discussed with his majesty what he has done? "“ Discuss with me? He sent out his troops before he wrote me a letter to explain -- let alone explain. "“ Therefore, the guilty minister had to wonder, is Lu XingKong my Xifeng Minister? Or would he prefer to be the peacock minister after the Peacock Dynasty unified the nine countries? "“ What do you mean? "“ Your Majesty's mirror! "“ Is there a way to crack it? "“ Yes. " This time, Cui carefully took the initiative to answer“ Huh? What is the solution? " Huiwang didn't expect Cui careful to take the initiative. He heard that Cui Xichen brought Cui careful in. He thought he was taking this as a hostage to prove that he had no second heart. Perhaps they also have the idea of offering beauty to themselves in exchange for heaven's grace - after all, there are many ministers who do such things“ May your majesty be careful to get up and speak? " Cui was careful. His face was as beautiful as water. He looked at Huiwang with his eyes as bright as stars and said. Huiwang's heart pounded fiercely. He was fascinated at a glance. I knew Cui's good name of "the sky is full of bright moon". When I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation. More beautiful than any woman I've ever seen“ Be careful, girl. Please get up. " Hui Wang raised his hand. Thinking of his granddaughter getting up and grandpa kneeling on the ground, he immediately said, "get up, too. We are all old friends. Why? "“ Thank you, your majesty! " Cui carefully helped Cui Xichen up. When Huiwang saw Cui carefully after he got up, he was more elegant and beautiful. He simply asked father-in-law Rui to show Cui Xichen a seat. So they can sit and talk. Cui walks carefully to Huiwang. Ryan leans forward silently, which means don't get close“ Your majesty -- "father Rui, be careful, girl. Can a weak woman eat me? Get out of the way. We are closer and easier to talk. "“ Yes, your majesty! " Father Rui retreated quietly again“ Careful girl, if you have something to say -- "Cui Xichen also looked at Cui carefully with a blank face. Her granddaughter is not a person who likes to show off. She offered to bring her face saint, which made him feel strange. I didn't expect that she was so active at this time. What the hell is she doing today“ Your majesty, be careful. I want to borrow your Majesty's body. "“ How can you use your body? " Huiwang glared at Cui Xichen. His grandfather was sitting next to him, but he flirted with his granddaughter. It's really a bit outrageous“ So -- hahaha, be careful, girl. She's really funny. Be careful, girl. Just take it. "“ Then be careful. Thank you, your majesty. " Cui carefully smiled like a flower and said aloud. She stretched out her hand and slowly touched the head of King Hui with her slender, tender and white right hand like white jade“ Be careful, don't be rude -- "no harm, be careful, girl, just --" Huiwang suddenly widened his eyes. Because he found that Cui, who was standing in front of him at this time, was careful. Her pupils were as red as blood. A black centipede climbed out of her palm and went in through the celestial cover over his head. Got into his body.
