Chapter 45 The Little Emperor Comes to the Sword Lodge
Since leaving Jianlu more than a year ago, Ye Qi has been completing the plan agreed upon with Sigujian, going to Nanqing Kyoto to explore Hong Siyang's background, so as to lead the temple envoy to Qingshan, Northern Qi, and pull Kuhe into his plan with Sigujian. Later, he was found by the temple envoy, and fought with him in desperate situation. Before returning to Jianlu, he disguised himself as Sigujian and had a fight with Ye Liuyun.
He has been doing these things very seriously because the goal of the plan is Emperor Qing. If there is a mistake in one of the links, it will cause the plan to fail.
Now that I have returned to Jianlu, the only thing that happened to Qingguo is left behind Chen Pingping's east wind. Ye Qi enjoyed the peace before the storm in front of the thatched hut in the dense forest.
Now he didn't think about anything, nor did he think about anything, so he lay on the roof of the dense forest that was hut, drinking with the wine sent by Sigujian, or the sun shining through the green leaves would be too comfortable.
In the past few days, a white fox appeared in the short mountain, which caused dissatisfaction among many disciples. There were two reasons. One was that when they first met the white fox, they saw that its fur was pure white and cute, so they wanted to catch it for a while, but the white fox was very fast, and many eighth-grade disciples could not catch it. If this was the case, it would be fine. After the white fox escaped far away, it would stop and call a few times to mock those disciples. It was mocked by a beast. It would probably not be happy if this was in anyone's heart.
Secondly, the white fox often enters and exits the canteens of the disciples of the third generation of Jianlu. "Stealing" is good. Once, after several disciples who were rotating in the kitchen saw the white fox, someone drove him away and said a few words to him. The white fox actually left plum blossom-like footprints on the food that had just been arranged.
This was a real and annoying thing. Many of the three generations of disciples who were deeply harmed by the white fox were angry, but they discussed taking the white fox to justice. However, during the action, someone received the news that the white fox was brought back by the master, and naturally they had to leave it alone.
Feeling a breeze coming, Ye Qi, who was basking in the sun on the grass roof, opened his eyes, looked at the chicken legs in the white fox's mouth, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Is there a disciple who gave you again?"
The white fox made a few faint whimpers because he bit the chicken leg and nodded in response to Ye Qi's words.
"Then you eat it yourself, don't give it to me."
The white fox shook his head, stuffed the chicken legs into Ye Qi's hand, then whispered a few times, raised his claws and pointed at his stomach.
Ye Qi looked at its round belly, ate the chicken legs in a few bites, and then lay down to bask in the sun.
The white fox opened his mouth, stretched out his tongue to lick the oil stains on the hair around his mouth, and jumped on Ye Qi and sunbathe him as he basked.
...
At the same time, a group of people drove up the mountain road at the foot of Jianlu Ao Mountain. Seven green-maned black horses rode seven warriors with a breath of swords, protecting a pitch-black and gilded carriage in the middle.
"The short mountain of Jianlu lives in a downtown city. I didn't expect it to be so quiet on the road." The little emperor of Northern Qi lifted the bead curtain on the carriage window and looked at the green trees slowly passing by on both sides of the road.
Haitang looked at her, and her jade hand never left the dagger hidden in her sleeves.
Since last year, Nanqing's army on the border has gradually replaced a group of generals. Those generals have many common characteristics, such as the youngest ones are over forty years old, and for example, they have all conquered the Northern Wei Dynasty with Emperor Qing. Such actions are self-evident. Nanqing is going to take action against the surrounding countries.
Of course, Nan Qing will not take action very quickly. The replacement generals will take a long time to get familiar with the soldiers under their command. They also need to prepare to allocate sufficient food and supplies. The most important thing is that in addition to Nan Qing, the two most powerful forces on the mainland, there are also great masters in the Northern Qi and Dongyi City.
The Northern Qi Dynasty has been booming in recent years, especially since last year, the Northern Qi general Uesugi Toru returned to the command of the little emperor. The little emperor took control of military power and gradually gained the upper hand in the battle against the empress dowager. In a few months, the empress dowager's power that had been operating in the court for many years was destroyed. Last month, as the empress dowager's confidant leader of the Jinyiwei was heavily punished for treason, the empress dowager completely withdrew from the Northern Qi court.
If there were ten years, the young emperor would be confident that Northern Qi could compete with Nan Qing head-on. However, Northern Qi had been weak for many years, even if Northern Qi was at this moment, it would take time to make up for the gap between the two sides.
Here comes Dongyi City, the little emperor is to unite the Northern Qi and Dongyi City together. The person in charge of Dongyi City has never been the city lord, but the Sigujian Sword in Jianlu, who is respected by the swordsman in the world, is called the Sword Saint.
"Your Majesty, as the lord of a country, you should not do this kind of mission by yourself. There is still a chance to retreat now. If you make any mistakes, the current Northern Qi Dynasty cannot afford it." As we approached Jianlu, Haitang said nervously.
What she said was very reasonable. The emperor is the lord of a country. If there is any mistake, the country will be in chaos. Especially the royal family of Northern Qi is not as lush as Nan Qing. Moreover, although Nan Qing is arrogant and the relationship between Dongyi City and Northern Qi is good. Ku He came to Jianlu in person a few months ago, the most unreasonable and fickle thing in this world is the relationship.
If the Sigujian suddenly kills people, everyone in their group will be fish on the chopping board.
"Mr. Master, I have told you a long time ago that the most important thing about interacting with others is sincerity. With such great sincerity, the Four-Gu Jian will not touch me."
Haitang sighed and had no choice but to say helplessly: "Then let it go."
...
The carriage and horses stopped outside the Jianlu Gate Tower. When Haitang held the token and asked the disciples on duty to inform him, Sigujian, who rarely left the thatched house in the valley, went out to greet him in person.
Haitang's name is well known to all the people in the world. Many disciples who went down the mountain in Jianlu had seen the portraits of each other. Naturally, they knew that the master (master) was not Haitang when he went out to greet him, but he could only be the young master beside Haitang. Who was that person? Could it be the Northern Qi Dynasty?
...
The cool breeze from the sea blew in front of the thatched hut, eliminating the heat of summer. A few frogs croaked by the pool, and the fish in the pool would jump out of the water from time to time to eat the mosquitoes leaning against the water.
The little emperor and Sigujian were talking about state affairs in front of the cottage. It was not convenient for Haitang to listen, so she sat by the pool and looked at the arrangement in front of the cottage, such as mountain flowers, small ponds, grass, and dense forests. All of this looked natural, but after careful feeling, they all contained a sharp sword intent, as if there was a sword in the valley.
