The protagonists have golden fingers

This battle between good and evil, which was not very vigorous in the eyes of the immortal cultivators and the royal family, basically did not cause much splash in the capital.

Ordinary people only know that the city has been under martial law for half a month, and when the doors are opened again, the sun is still hanging above their heads, dazzling their eyes.

This battle was unexpectedly anticlimactic, and the immortal cultivators suffered little loss. Except for those officials and clan clans who colluded with evil cultivators in the court, they were dealt with by Gu Zhuangcheng and Jiuyanlou's killer before the liquidation. There were no major casualties.

Shen Yan summed it up, and felt that most of the credit should be attributed to Song Niantou.

After all, since his identity was exposed, everyone's attention has been focused on him, and the evil cultivator has spared no effort to find him, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally ended in disastrous failure.

in various senses.

Probably the most incompetent evil cultivator in history.

This turmoil, whether big or small, completely turned the inside and outside of the court upside down, and the courtiers of the older generation were sacked one after another. Seventy-eight out of ten were involved in the interests of evil cultivators;

The younger generation of officials raised their eyebrows, and the part headed by the emperor's cronies was added to the ranks, replacing those who were vegetarians.

At this point, all the forces in the court were finally concentrated in the hands of the emperor.

It is worth mentioning that among this group of young officials, there is a young man surnamed Yan who became Prime Minister Zuo in his twenties.

Mr. Yan, a scholar, didn't do much in this quiet battle, and he was always a small border official before, let alone going to court, even if he entered the capital, it would be difficult.

But he has another identity - the military adviser next to Zhennan Hou Su Lanqing.

This reason alone was enough for the emperor to open up Long En - although it was too big to scare the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

On the day the emperor issued the decree, many old officials knelt at the gate of the palace one after another, trying to force the emperor to take back the order with death remonstrance.

However, in the end, the emperor just sent a young eunuch to pass the decree, saying that you love to die.

The old ministers looked at each other, death is impossible, after all, after living such an old age, they are not truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic, no one is willing to die;

And those who were truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic, received the imperial decree early, thanked the grace, and hid at home to enjoy the blessings, and they did not come to kneel down.

Thus, Mr. Yan, a related household, became the prime minister of Yan who was under one person and above ten thousand.

Within two months after the crisis in the capital city was lifted, the evil cultivators all over the country disappeared one after another, as if they had never appeared before.

Especially in the southwest area, except for the capital, where the evil cultivators appear most frequently, and they have all disappeared recently.

Su Lanqing couldn't figure out for a moment whether they were caught or hid.

However, in any case, the confrontation that lasted for nearly half a year has come to an end for the time being.

Although at the beginning it looked like a huge momentum, with many casualties, and finally led to the Order of Mountains and Rivers, but generally speaking, the ending was relatively satisfactory.

For this, Gu Zhuangcheng was very satisfied, Shen Yan was very satisfied, and His Majesty the Emperor was even more satisfied.

His Majesty the Emperor, who felt in a good mood, waved his hand and rewarded him for his merits.The first one to be rewarded is Song Nian.

Song Nian's identity was too special, Ye Changyan had to think about whether he was worthy of the other party's identity if he wanted to reward him with something.

The so-called bestowed by the Son of Heaven, rewards and punishments are all God's grace, this sentence does not apply to the Lord of the Mountains and Rivers.

To put it bluntly, if Song Nian is unhappy, it is possible to wipe out all living things in the world, let alone an emperor?

His Majesty the Emperor, who is honored as the "Son of Heaven" but is actually just a mortal, is also struggling with what to reward Song Nian today.

He struggled for several days, and Su Lanqing returned to court, but he couldn't figure it out.

In the end, it was Shen Yan who learned of His Majesty's embarrassment, and specially asked Zhen Nanhou to bring the words into the palace, so as to avoid the tragedy of the young His Majesty's baldness.

-

"Song—ah, that's not right...the Master of Mountains and Rivers is gone?"

Ye Changyan held up the pen in a daze, and there were discarded paper balls scattered on the table, "No... I was just about to ask him what he wanted, why did he leave?"

Su Lanqing was silent for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, maybe people don't think much of what you give?"

So His Majesty the Emperor was also strangely silent.After a long time, he put down his pen and nodded in agreement: "It makes sense."

Su Lanqing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but heard His Majesty sigh with disappointment: "But even so... At least let me thank you personally before leaving?"

Su Lanqing hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, it's really because the Lord of the Mountains and Rivers is too special for His Majesty to meet, so he left without saying goodbye. Even Pavilion Master Shen thought of him one day and found out that he was gone."

The emperor became even more curious: "What is so special about him that makes you so afraid of him?"

Su Lanqing smiled wryly, moved a little closer, and said in a low voice: "Pavilion Master Shen looked through the old classics, and asked Master He Shan and Qi Yunzhi, and came to a conclusion - when the Lord Shanhe took over the Order of Shanhe, he had to make a choice." .

Either abandon the seven emotions and six desires in the world, and grasp the supreme power and power between heaven and earth;

Or, give up a part of yourself, and preserve your feelings while gaining this power.Song Nian... the current Lord of Mountains and Rivers chose the previous one. "

Ye Changyan pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "I heard that his adoptive father died in the palace?"

"Yes. That man's name is Song Ge, and he's from Yunzhuang Pavilion. The Lord of Mountains and Rivers was brought back to Yunzhuang Pavilion when he was an undercover agent for the Sword Sect.

Because he was afraid that the child would be bullied at a young age, he was adopted as a foster son.It's just that Song Ge was unlucky and died in the palace.Song Nian has no thoughts in the world, and his emotions and desires are not of much use to him, so..."

Ye Changyan sighed, and nodded disappointedly: "Understood. In this case, then posthumously confer the title of "Loyalty Boss" on Song Ge, and give the temple a golden body for future generations to worship. "

"Long Grace, Your Majesty." Su Lanqing didn't expect to be surprised, and quickly received an order to thank her.

"Oh, I also heard that two disciples from the younger generation of Liuguang Jiange are training in your army? How are you doing now?"

Speaking of Qi Yunting and Qi Yunzhi, Su Lanqing also showed a little smile on his face.

He happily said to the emperor: "It has the demeanor of the Liuguang Jiange back then! The Jiange has been in decline for many years, and now it is time for them to be proud of the rectification."

"I remember, their master also died in this battle?"

"Yes. In order to prevent the protective formation from being opened, Sword Master Qi Jian died together with his former junior, Sword Master Qi Lian, and died in the formation."

"Well...Qi Lian betrayed her master for many years. It's not Liuguang Jiange's fault. I also know it. You don't have to test me. I won't compare them."

Ye Changyan shook his head, "But you're right, Liuguang Jiange has been in decline for so many years, it's time for them to stand in front of others again."

By saying this, His Majesty the Emperor intends to personally support the Liuguang Sword Pavilion.Although he didn't say this clearly, Su Lanqing knew it well and didn't expose it. He just waited for the emperor to issue an order to Qi Yunting and the others.

"Master He Shan is gone too?"

"Let's go, I left with His Highness the day before yesterday."

"The two of them... have been entangled since childhood. I thought that the biggest obstacle between the two of them was Miss Huang. Unexpectedly, something like that happened to Pingting Xiaozhu.

Fortunately, Ping'er was upbeat and picked up a young apprentice with good qualifications.I don't think it will be long before I can get good news from both of them! "His Majesty the Emperor was talking, and actually started gossiping!

Seeing his bright eyes, Su Lanqing endured and endured, so she didn't dare to curse in front of him rebelliously.

Ye Changyan smirked for a long time by himself, and finally remembered the most important thing. He raised his head and asked, "Then... what about Pavilion Master Shen and the others? They should still be in the capital, right?" Are you gone?

"Yes. Pavilion Master Shen and Gu Zhuangcheng are still in the capital. But judging from what they mean, they will probably travel to the mountains and rivers soon." Su Lanqing said, "But don't worry, Your Majesty, they will wait until the dust in the capital falls to the ground before leaving. Before that, they will help repair the magic circles inside and outside the capital to ensure that there will be no evil cultivators intruding within 300 years."

As for what will happen after 300 years, perhaps that should be the concern of the younger generations.

Everything is developing for the better, Ye Changyan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I understand. By the way, Lan Qing, you won't leave again, right?"

"I..." Su Lanqing was in a daze for a moment, then shook her head with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Your Majesty, I will probably bid farewell to you by this time next year."

"Why? Hasn't the war in the Southwest been settled? Didn't you sign an agreement with the Nanman chief? Why are you leaving?" Ye Changyan asked in shock.

Su Lanqing said softly: "I once promised a person that I would take her to eat all the delicacies in the world and see all the beautiful scenery in the world. Although in the end, I was the only one who fulfilled this promise. But... I don't want to live up to her expectations."

Ye Changyan froze for a moment, then calmed down: "I...I seem to have heard that you met a girl in the southwest, but she also seems to be..."

"I also died in battle, and died in the forbidden area of ​​the Holy Land of Miaojiang." Now Su Lanqing, when talking about this matter, will no longer feel heartache. He can even describe to others with a smile that he came from the Holy Land Hearing all the details, "If it wasn't for her, the Holy Cult of Miaojiang would have become a lair of evil cultivators. At that time, the Nanmans would not need to do anything, and the evil cultivators would be able to drive straight in and attack our southwest camp."

That was his beloved girl, but before he could reveal his feelings, they were separated from each other.

Ye Changyan felt regretful and heartbroken.He didn't sympathize with Su Lanqing, but couldn't help but want to pity him.

But this feeling of contradiction was only for a moment, and soon he let out a long sigh, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, just go if you want! It just so happens that you go, and I will relax, so that you don't have to go to the palace as soon as you are proposed." Hide, and in the end, I will go to the front to block back for you!"

Su Lanqing smiled slightly: "Thank you, Lord Long."
