"Bang bang bang..."
"It's dry, be careful with candles..."
The seemingly non-existent sound of watchdog came from the depths of the palace, adding a bit of eerie desolation to the silent night.
The lights in the layers of palaces are completely dimmed, only the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation is lit like a bean, with a faint halo.
The candlelight painted some warm red on Xu Pingzhi's pale face, and also reflected the gurgling blood flowing from the place where the long needles were pierced on the skin.
He collapsed on the ground exhausted, and his plain singlet was already soaked in blood, messy like a bright red falling plum in the white snow.In this way, the pair of wide-open eyes became more and more distinct in black and white, and the extreme contrast was shocking.
"Xiao Qi, do you know how you are not like him?"
Emperor Liang's voice was very pleasant, clear and clear, like jade hitting ice, but when it came to his ears, it seemed extraordinarily eerie and strange, and soon aroused waves of fear that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Naturally, Xu Pingzhi didn't know who the "he" Emperor Liang was talking about, but after spending time together, he heard about it frequently, and it was not difficult to roughly guess that this "he" and Emperor Liang had never seen each other since childhood. It even occupies a pivotal position in Emperor Liang's heart.
Before that, Emperor Liang seemed to have used some means to forcefully keep this person by his side, but he waited for an opportunity to escape. Now Emperor Liang's mood is impetuous, and it must have something to do with "him".
He wisely didn't say much, lest he would offend that person and cause death, he just shook his head silently.
Fortunately, Emperor Liang didn't pay attention to his expression, and sneered to himself, and said sadly: "No matter what I did that day, whether it was coercion or temptation, or mild persuasion, even a punishment that was much more severe than this was taught to him, and it was of no avail. After all, he is unwilling to accept all the benefits I offer, and his eyes are always full of contempt and disgust—”
"But why is this? Why is he?"
"I am the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the Lord of the world, what is he, he dares to go against my will!"
"Bang!"
As the tone suddenly became violent, the precious glazed cup on the table was overturned by Emperor Liang's sleeve and shattered into hundreds of pieces.
The sudden rage was like thunder, sporadic pieces of utensils splashed on Xu Ping's body, but he didn't dare to vent his breath, and fell on the spot, unable to move.
"And that old man... Others see him glamorous and graceful, but who would have guessed that what he did behind the scenes are all dirty things that are scolded by the world!"
Emperor Liang felt incomprehensibly resentful, he raised his palm and blasted out, causing the wooden tables and chairs to shatter into pieces.
"Back then, the old man forced my mother and concubine to death, played with me and the young children he had brought in, and used all the filthy means... At that time, I only thought about it. Fortunately, he was not there. If we share the glory in the future, I will What's the point of suffering more for him?"
Xu Pingzhi's expression was slightly condensed, he guessed that the so-called "old man" in his mouth should refer to the former emperor Liang Yandi.During his reign, Emperor Yan always lived in secluded places, and he was slack in controlling the court. In the last few years of his reign, he never went to the court to discuss matters.
However, others actually know very little about Emperor Yan and his affairs, let alone the shocking inside story that Emperor Liang said at this time.
"Although the old man's methods of playing tricks on people are vicious, they are limited. When the throne is in hand, I will teach him all kinds of new tricks and try it out... His expression at that time, even thinking about it now, is really pleasant aftertaste .”
Seeing that Emperor Liang's mood seemed to have stabilized, Xu Pingzhi tried his best to support his body, knelt down on the ground, and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the day for candidates to report for the palace examination. Do you need to make arrangements in advance?"
"No need for the time being. It's been a lot of tossing recently. There are still a few days before the palace examination. You should take care of your health first."
His faint gaze passed over his pale and chapped lips, and Emperor Liang snorted lightly, his tone full of indescribable excitement: "That person's visit tonight is a perfect plan. Overthrowing and destroying is naturally easy."
"It's... that mighty one?"
Xu Pingzhi was speechless to himself, and a masked figure in a black robe appeared in his mind.
Since Emperor Liang began to communicate with him a few years ago, there have been a large number of well-trained secret guards in the palace, as well as strange weapons with strong lethality.In recent years, the treasury operation has also focused on the expansion of armaments. The surrounding countries are in panic, and they all know whether the appearance of peace is torn apart or not, and it is only a matter of Liang Guo.
But who would have thought that the driving force behind all these disasters is actually inseparable from the so-called organization that "destroys the powerful and helps the world"?
"You don't need to care about this much. If someone really wants to make trouble, that person's power will never let him escape." Emperor Liang tidied up his sleeves slowly, and said with a light smile, "Just remember what I told you earlier. Task, just pay close attention to people with the characteristics mentioned in the order."
"Of order." Xu Pingzhi promised in a deep voice, unconsciously clenching the palms hanging by his sides, his inner emotions were overwhelmed, and finally turned into a barely audible sigh.
May I ask, on the eve of the approaching darkness, when disasters are imminent, who can be alone?
This night was also not very peaceful for the Xuanxiao Pavilion hidden underground.
The fluorite halo on the wall flickered, reflecting Ling Ke's cold and pale face, and Pei Shu beside her also had a serious expression, with complex expressions in his eyes, as if he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle.
Not far from the two of them, the main meeting hall of Xuanxiao Pavilion has been occupied by dozens of passionate cabinet members, and the people surrounded by them are Lu Wu and Yingzhao who have returned after a long journey.
"Lu Wu, Ying Zhao, what you two say is serious? You must know that this is a big matter, and there is no room for mistakes!"
Faced with a solemn question from an older cabinet member in the crowd, Lu Wu's face was gloomy, his voice was astringent, but his tone remained firm:
"If what Yingzhao and I just said is half a lie, even if it kills both of us immediately, we will never say no!"
As soon as these powerful words came out, everyone's expressions immediately darkened.
Yingzhao couldn't help heaving a long sigh, stroking Lu Wu's trembling shoulders to show comfort, then took a step forward, and sent his voice far away:
"My fellow colleagues, in recent days, Xuanxiao Pavilion has expanded its combat readiness and the number of missions has increased sharply. Our sharp blades are no longer aimed at the most vicious people, but have become weapons for officials to eradicate dissidents. All of this is obvious to all. However, the upper management of Xuanxiao Pavilion treats us Opinions are ignored, those who raise doubts are often transferred to lower levels, and more colleagues don’t even know about it!”
"Tonight, if Lu Wu and I hadn't discovered Tian Wu's whereabouts strangely, and followed him recklessly, how could the inside story of his collusion with Liang Guo have been exposed! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even I myself would have no way of imagining that once united, When did Xuanxiao Pavilion, whose heart is all about the world, become like this?"
"But that is Master Tianwu after all, it is absolutely impossible for him to do anything that is not good for Xuanxiao Pavilion, is there any misunderstanding?"
"Is it possible that this is just Xuanxiao Pavilion's plan to delay Liang Guo's atrocities?"
There are still people in the palace who don't want to believe it. After all, since Pangu withdrew from Xuanxiao Pavilion, Tian Wu, as one of the elders in the pavilion, has almost taken over the daily decision-making power.Over the years, his contribution to Xuan Xiao Pavilion is obvious to all, and accusing such a highly respected person is a presumptuous act.
Doubts and accusations came one after another, and the scene in the hall was once very chaotic.
As the dispute became more and more intense, someone finally couldn't hold back and shouted angrily: "The truth of the matter is still inconclusive. What's the point of arguing here? Why don't we wait for Lord Tianwu to return, and we will confront him face to face, and ask questions about the doubts in our hearts." Understand, everything will naturally settle down."
The speaker was none other than Uncle Feng. As the leader of the Pills and Stones Department, he has always been a character who promises everything in the pavilion.As soon as these words came out, the clamor in the arena immediately became much quieter, and the people who were originally fierce were still undecided for a while. Among the different opinions, there was a great intention to wait for Tian Wu to come back to make a decision.
Lu Wu was apprehensive, and now he also realized the huge risk of delay, so he hurriedly tried to dissuade him:
"Uncle Feng, we are naturally aware of your good intentions. It's just that the conversation I overheard with Yingzhao involved many aspects of Mr. Liang's affairs, and the matter is of great importance. If he confronts Tian Wu rashly, he can refuse to admit it." , what's more, maybe..."
"What could it be? Lu Wu, if you have any doubts in your heart, you might as well just ask me."
Before Lu Wu finished speaking, a calm male voice came from outside the meeting hall, full of real strength, and forcefully forced the rest of his voice back.
The person who came was not Tian Wu, but who it was.
Lu Wuying looked at each other for a moment, nodded slightly, and both of them had the thought of dying in each other's hearts.
Feng Bo glanced at the two people indifferently, although his face was calm, he already understood it in his heart, he simply coughed lightly, facing the visitor, he cupped his hands and said:
"I have seen Your Excellency Tianwu, and everyone gathered here tonight. There is indeed something unclear. The rules of the Xuanxiao Pavilion clearly stipulate that the members of the pavilion must work together and treat each other honestly at any time. I only hope that Lord Tianwu can tell the truth. , in this way, it can be regarded as practicing the rules of the pavilion, what do you think?"
"Heh, what Uncle Feng said, if everyone has doubts, I will naturally know everything and say everything." Tian Wu didn't seem to be surprised by this, and took the time to pass through the crowd and came to the north side of the hall, "Today What is this situation?"
Tian Wu's movements and walking route did not attract many people's attention, but Pei Shu's eyes suddenly widened, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of disbelief.
Ling Ke was so engrossed in the situation in the palace that he naturally had no time to take care of his abnormality.Not far away, Feng Bo took a deep breath, stared straight at Tian Wu, and asked word by word:
"May I ask what your Excellency Tianwu's explanation is for the secret talks between you and Emperor Liang tonight involving the delivery of weapons from the Xuanxiao Pavilion, the dispatch of Liang Guo's soldiers, and the unusual task arrangements in the pavilion in recent times? Those who take the stability of the people in the world as their own responsibility When did Xuanxiao Pavilion have any connection with the royal family of Liang Kingdom?"
