Chapter 140 Yasukuni does not allow such a brilliant person to exist
Royal City Central Line, Suzaku Street.
Escorted by more than a dozen cavalrymen, a carriage passed through the city gate and galloped all the way towards the palace gate.
The Grand Master of the current Dynasty and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, on the day they persuaded His Majesty to seek peace from Yasukuni, they were struck to death by lightning as soon as they left the palace.
Such a major event naturally caused a sensation in the entire ruling and opposition parties.
Qin Yuyuan and Li Xiang's convoy also received news from Wudu yesterday.
At first, the two of them still had some disbelief, but the reality couldn't help them not to believe it.
You must know that the sky in Wudu was originally clear yesterday, but suddenly it was cloudy again. A total of three thunderbolts fell, the first two struck He Yuanchang and Liang Pingzhong to death, and the third one was the most powerful, directly hitting the palace.
These people in Wudu are obvious to all, and they can't hide it if they want to.
Especially after a day of fermentation, the third thunder that fell into the palace was even more legendary.
Before the carriage entered the city, Qin Yuyuan and Li Xiang heard that the people entering and leaving the city were also discussing this matter. Some people said that the third lightning struck the Hall of Mental Cultivation, blowing out a big hole in the roof; Dao Jinglei actually hit His Majesty, but because of Wu Chao's strong luck, he blocked the catastrophe for His Majesty.
In short, no one dared to question Tan Chen's statement of divine condemnation.
After all, such a precise strike, such a suspenseful matter, if it is not the punishment of God, how can it make sense?
Qin Yuyuan closed the secret letter sent by the secret investigation department, raised the curtain of the car and looked at Wudu City after many years of absence, filled with emotion for a moment.
As a Grand Master, He Yuanchang was deeply trusted by His Majesty, while he was an old minister of the former emperor Tuogu. Although he was also a minister of the current dynasty, he was indeed far behind He Yuanchang in terms of closeness.
The rush to return to Beijing this time is also because the war in the north has been delayed for too long. Although Yasukuni captured the capital of the Liang Kingdom, this protracted war has already caused Yasukuni itself to lose its vitality.
Such an opportunity is once in a lifetime.
In fact, before returning to Beijing, Qin Yuyuan had already made two-handed preparations.
He Yuan often sits in the peace-seeking faction. He and Li Gang can persuade His Majesty, but if they can’t, they have to move out the late emperor’s imperial edict. The Wu Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Follow orders.
However, this means that he will break with His Majesty completely. From then on, His Majesty will be more and more afraid of him, and there will be no ruthless differences between the monarch and his ministers.
Now that He Yuanchang died, His Majesty hurriedly summoned him, and Qin Yuyuan had a faint guess in his heart.
It seems that His Majesty's attitude towards the Northern Expedition and Sui Feng has changed greatly.
Li Gang next to him was still talking about the deaths of He Yuanchang and Liang Pingzhong with a smile on his face. Seeing Qin Yuyuan looking out of the car in a daze, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Old Qin, what are you thinking about?"
Wudu is still prosperous, the streets are full of traffic, and people are crowded on both sides.
Suddenly, a young student carrying an umbrella happened to pass by the carriage.
The two people's eyes met, the man nodded slightly, and smiled at Qin Yuyuan, while Qin Yuyuan subconsciously leaned forward and looked back. As the carriage was driving, the two of them had already crossed each other by more than ten meters, and only saw a blurry figure who was alienated from the world. disappear into the crowd.
Qin Yuyuan put down the car curtain, turned to look at Li Gang, and said hesitantly, "I'm thinking of someone."
"When I was in Jiangning, Miss Lu once told me that there was a young knight who wanted to come to Wudu alone to assassinate He Yuanchang, and for this purpose, she used the power of the secret investigation department to buy some road citation documents." Qin Yuyuan stroked his beard lightly, hesitating For a moment, I also felt that it was too ridiculous, so I didn't say any more.
"Confused! He Yuanchang has been operating in the court for many years, and the defense is extremely strict on weekdays. It is difficult for even the master to get close. He is so reckless, and he will only lose his life." Li Gang frowned, first reprimanded, and then smiled, "Fortunately, God opened his eyes, a thunderbolt killed the old thief on the spot, and indirectly saved the young knight's life."
Qin Yuyuan shook his head and said nothing more.
According to the intelligence of the secret investigation department, this person escaped from the surveillance of the secret investigation department shortly after entering the city, his whereabouts are erratic, and his strength is unknown. Even if it is groundless, Qin Yuyuan still has a vague premonition of absurdity in his heart.
Could these three thunderstorms be related to this person?
Outside the gate of Wudu City.
Zhou Ji looked back at the carriage that had long since disappeared, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
He Yuanchang Liang Pingzhong died, and then a thunderbolt fell on the Hall of Mental Cultivation that had been stepped on a long time ago. If Qin Yuyuan and Li Gang can't grasp this kind of start, they can only change the emperor for this court.
Speaking of which, this was also the first meeting between him and Qin Yuyuan. If it weren't for the official uniforms that the two had changed in advance, he might not have recognized that sitting in the carriage were Li Xiang and the former Qin Xiang.
But these are not very important.
Zhou Ji didn't like court affairs very much, and he didn't have the idea of getting involved in it. He made the move this time only because he was in Wu Kingdom, and he had an inexplicable closeness to this dynasty that highly overlapped with his memory.
In addition, although the matter of the Wu Dynasty has come to an end, Yasukuni still has to make another trip.
As far as he knows, the ruler of Yasukuni, Baili Hongji, is talented and broad-minded, with a heart for the world.
As long as there is this person, it will be a great threat to Wu Chao.
Zhou Ji took out the map in his hand, checked the general direction, performed lightness kung fu and went all the way north, and sneered in his heart: "In Yasukuni, such a brilliant person is absolutely not allowed."
Crossing the border, Zhou Ji changed into the clothes of Yasukuni, and ran for four full days before arriving at the capital of Yasukuni.
He didn't use the Lightning Control Sword Art this time, the idea of repeating the old trick.
Instead, he sneaked into the palace under the cover of night, and quietly injected a beam of radiant true energy into Baili Hongji's forehead, allowing it to slowly penetrate into Baili Hongji's cranial cavity and then seep into his inner abdomen. Hongji's body will gradually become weak and sickly, and then gradually deteriorate, and it is difficult to cure.
Speaking of which, Wu Qihao should also be about to die suddenly, right?
Since the day they got married, Zhou Ji has never paid attention to Wu Qihao's condition. Nuclear radiation is a difficult problem in modern medicine. In this historical world where even extraordinary power does not exist, it is the real truth. big killer.
He didn't know that Su Tan'er was in danger in Jiangning, so he was still a little complacent at this time.
The morning glow is picturesque, and the sky in the distance is pale.
Jiangning City, Su Mansion.
It's been fifteen days, and it's been half a month since Zhou Ji left.
A few days ago, the imperial court issued a decree to cancel the annual cloth this year. It is said that after the Wu family heard the news, Wu Chenghou vomited blood and fainted on the spot at Wu Qihao's funeral.
The silk that had previously cost several times the huge amount was also canceled due to the cancellation of the annual cloth, which made the Wu family unable to pay and almost went bankrupt.
Even when using the gold saved by the ancestors, it was discovered that the thousand taels of gold accumulated by the five generations of the ancestors had been stolen at some time, which made the Wu family even worse.
All this came too suddenly, it can be said to be a turnaround.
Naturally, Su Tan'er didn't want to let go of this opportunity. Together with several other cloth houses of Dachuan cloth shop, they collectively attacked the Wu family and divided up the silk in their hands. Finally, the urgent need for silk shortage was relieved, and the heart that had been anxious for a long time was completely relieved. All settled down.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Su Tan'er recovered from all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts, looked at the brighter sky outside the window, and suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
Hastily got up from Zhou Ji's bed, and went back to his room through the hole in the wall.
The last time Xiao Chan slipped into Zhou Ji's room and fell asleep, Xiao Chan searched for her in the courtyard for a long time, but fortunately she responded in a timely manner and kept it secret.
It was noon in a flash, and Zhou Ji watched the footsteps of the city wall in the distance getting faster and faster.
From Wudu to Jingdu and then to Jiangning, traveling tens of thousands of miles all the way, Zhou Ji, who is used to wandering outside, didn't have any special thoughts at first, but when he really saw the outline of Jiangning City, he still couldn't help showing a little joy smile.
When I got home, the entire Su family mansion felt busy, but I didn't understand why it was so busy. The weather is fine. In the afternoon of autumn, the warm wind is warm. Some leaves have turned golden and have not yet fallen, swaying slightly in the wind. When crossing the road between the courtyards to the small courtyard, I saw two servants running past in a hurry. It was probably the steward who was swearing, and the voice came faintly from the side.
Everything is so familiar, familiarity makes Zhou Ji slow down subconsciously, walking towards the small courtyard step by step.
Quietly, Su Tan'er was wearing a light blue dress and sitting in the gazebo in the middle of the courtyard, looking up at the leaves of a sycamore tree beside her. There was a figure flickering in the room on one side, probably Chan I'm sorting something out.
Zhou Ji stared blankly at the light and shadow in front of him, and was stunned for a while.
Being together day and night for more than half a year, Su Tan'er is usually beautiful, but she doesn't feel amazing. I haven't seen her for half a month, and the longing that has never appeared in the past half month quietly arises at this moment.
Like a small hand, it gently touched Zhou Ji's heartstrings.
Even though he couldn’t carry his mobile phone while traveling, Zhou Ji still freezes the scene in front of him into a photo and keeps it in his heart.
This was the first time he realized that Su Tan'er in front of him was Su Tan'er, not a 'stand-in' who looked the same as Fan Ruoruo.
Carrying a newly purchased scriptbook, Geng Nuyuan walked towards the small courtyard shaking his head, and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing outside the courtyard, and said pleasantly, "Guye, you're back?!"
This loud voice not only startled Zhou Ji, but even Su Tan'er, who was in a trance looking at the leaves in the courtyard, was awakened.
In the past, he would be able to notice when others approached with dozens of steps, but when he just stared blankly, Geng Nuyuan didn't even notice when he walked up to him.
"Scared me to death! Are you walking silently?" Zhou Ji suddenly made a smart move, coughed lightly, tidied up his appearance, and walked towards Su Tan'er.
Seeing Zhou Ji's figure, Su Tan'er's eyes immediately moistened, joy and longing were accompanied by tears in his eyes, subconsciously wanted to get up, but sat down with some resentment, his tone was a little bit Alienated, "Master is back."
"I'm sorry, I have something to do on the way, so I was delayed for a few days." Zhou Ji scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a while.
The two of them just stared at each other, silent for a long time.
Zhou Ji said softly: "You look a lot thinner."
"That's not true! My lord, you don't know what the lady has gone through since you left!" Geng Huyuan showed resentment, and interjected, "As soon as you left, Wu Qihao bought Xi Junyu and used silk to deceive the lady. To the outskirts of the city, I want to take revenge on Miss."
Zhou Ji became gloomy in an instant. He had noticed the injury on Geng Nuyuan's body just now. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after hearing his words, he realized that Su Tan'er had been attacked.
This is already the second time.
It was also because of my own blind "confidence" that I did not eliminate the hidden dangers in advance, causing people around me to be in danger again.
Two steps forward, Zhou Ji stretched out his hand to flick Su Tan'er's bright wrist, and asked with concern: "Are you injured?"
Feeling the temperature of the touch of the fingertips, the familiar heat flows around the body along Zhou Ji's fingers.
Seeing the self-blame and pain in Zhou Ji's eyes, Su Tan'er trembled slightly in her heart, shook her head, stopped playing petty temper, and said softly: "Actually, I was too careless. The Wu family relied on their own money to buy After buying all the silk in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, I was anxious to buy raw silk, so I fell into Xi Junyu and Wu Qihao's tricks."
"Where are they now?"
Zhou Ji found out that the nine-nine-nine yang-returning internal force already existed in Su Tan'er's body. Although he was a little surprised, he also knew that now was not the time to ask these things in detail.
Su Tan'er's complexion changed slightly. Even though more than ten days had passed, the psychological and physical discomfort of corpses, pools of blood, and minced meat still made it difficult for her to adapt.
Seeing Su Tan'er's strange expression, Zhou Ji looked at Geng Nursing Yuan, Geng Nursing Yuan looked left and right to confirm that there was no one else around, and then whispered, "Fortunately, my uncle prepared a firearm for Miss in advance, Xi Junyu and Wu Qi One of Hao’s subordinates was thrown flying several steps, and he died on the spot.”
Geng Nuyuan talked about the scene of the day one by one, including the mysterious woman who suddenly appeared later and solved Wu Qihao and several other thugs.
After listening to Geng Nursing Yuan's narration, Zhou Ji couldn't help feeling a little scared.
If he hadn’t left the Sand Eagle with Su Tan’er for self-defense before he went north, and told her to carry it with him, not to put it elsewhere because the iron was too heavy, the consequences would be disastrous.
As for Lu Hongti, Zhou Ji also felt a little bit emotional, forging a good fate yesterday and getting a good fruit today.
Su Tan'er calmed down a little, thought for a while, pulled out the sand eagle from his waist and handed it back to Zhou Jidao, "The heroine made no secret of her interest in this firearm. Its people have great plans."
"This thing is of no great use to me, so you should keep it. I can feel more at ease if you have this thing for self-defense." Zhou Ji pushed Sha Ying to Su Tan'er.
Shaking his head, he smiled lightly and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Miss Lu. This is the only one in the world, and it's absolutely impossible to make a complete replica, let alone me, even if I find all the famous craftsmen in the world to make it." not."
After listening to Zhou Ji's words, Su Tan'er looked a little dissatisfied, and she put down Sha Ying and was about to get up and leave.
Why did you turn your face while talking?
Zhou Ji looked at Su Tan'er walking away with doubts on his face.
Turning his head to look at Geng Huyuan, Geng Nuyuan was exactly like him, with doubts written all over his face.
"Grandpa, she didn't even inform us of her name, how did you know that chivalrous woman's surname is Lu?"
