Linque

Xie Chu walked out of the Shadow Guard's residence without a trace of his body, and walked towards the Hall of Martial Heroes.The shadow guards and imperial guards who met on the road saluted him, but he didn't see it when he was close in front of him, and he almost bumped into others when he walked to the corner, Xie Chu finally found the soul that was thrown at Ling Qi.

Chu Heng, this little bastard!

It's so good to put vases in the Hall of Martial Arts!

—— Xie Chu gritted his teeth and thought angrily, he was actually worried that he would be bullied in the Hall of Martial Heroes, what happened?Can't hold the sword?How many people in the entire Kyushu can discuss the Tao with Ji Wuyue with a sword?Bullying bullying?Thank goodness Lishan Dongjun doesn't beat others up!

It was really a waste of my three trips to inspect the palace in the previous day!When I look back and see this kid again, I have to catch him and beat him... Cough, scold him!

While Xie Chu was angry, he unconsciously grinned at the corner of his mouth.

Chu Heng is Ji Wuyue.

Xie Chu didn't dare to believe these words just from Ling Qi, who was serious and unsmiling.

He is still so young, yet he has already written a rich and colorful stroke in the history of Dayinqing, and he has reached a height that no martial artist in the world can even dream of reaching, and has become another unsurpassable peak in the history of martial arts. "No one in his generation can outshine him" is not enough to describe this epoch-making gap, and others are not even qualified to be compared with him.

Chu Heng.

Such a unparalleled genius was born in Dayin and grew up in the Xuanxi Dynasty, and now he is in front of his eyes.

Xie Chu was angry, but the turmoil in his heart was indescribable, and he sincerely praised "the future is awesome".

Waiting for him to return to the Hall of Martial Heroes, he couldn't calm down.Because His Majesty, Ling Qi, and Chu Heng himself did not disclose the matter, Xie Chu was not in a hurry to tell the people around him, but just stopped Lu Ji and told him that the next time he saw Chu Heng coming to the Hall of Martial Arts, he would send someone to go immediately. Call him.

In any case, this kid must be caught and scolded first.

Today, I had a sparring session with the elite guards, and the South Palace finally felt elated after sweeping away the haze of the past. Lu Ji and a few colleagues were discussing this matter, and when they heard Commander Xie's order, they readily agreed.

Seeing the excitement on his smiling face, Xie Chu couldn't help but say something more: "It's nothing to win this game. Those that Chu Heng pointed out today, go back and experience it carefully. If you can learn something from it, then it will be true." 'winner'."

Chu Heng was the biggest supporter of Nandian's victory today. Although he had more heart than strength and could not end, his eyes were really sharp.

Lu Ji nodded in agreement, and then sighed: "Commander, you said that I have watched swords in the Hall of Martial Arts many times, why can't I tell the truth like Chu Heng? Chu Heng's understanding is really nothing to say, it's a pity. ..."

Xie Chuxin said what a pity!Seeing that Lu Ji had foolishly believed Chu Heng's nonsense, he was at a loss for words.But it's not that Lu Ji is stupid, let alone them, even if I used to think in the direction of Dong Jun, it was impossible for me!

Xie Chu mumbled "Yes" and said, "It's really good. If Chu Heng is free in the future, you can ask him to give you a few more pointers, which is enough for you. When he comes back to the Hall of Martial Arts, remember to call me as soon as possible."

……

At that time, Chu Heng didn't know Commander Xie was planning to arrest him, so he came out of the university grounds, made up an excuse to be on duty at night, and wandered towards Ming Cheng Hall.

The early summer season in the imperial capital is not very hot, especially in the evening, when the breeze blows head-on from the other side of the palace road, it is cool and pleasant.He has been in a good mood recently, he has relieved a burden that has been on his heart for a long time, and he feels much lighter when he walks.

When they arrived at Mingcheng Hall, Ling Ye hadn't returned from the front court, Zhu Geng came over to deliver a message, saying that His Majesty was stumbled by Empress Dowager Zhong's trip to Nanshan to worship Buddha.

Ever since Ling Ye killed King Qi and regained the power of the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager Zhong had to retreat to the Palace of Mercy and Concentrate on worshiping the Buddha. Five years later, she really gave birth to some Zen.

From the end of April, Dayin’s most famous pilgrimage site——Ningzhou Nanshan Buddhist Temple held a three-year Buddhist holy meeting, gathering masters with deep Buddhist ties from all over Kyushu to discuss Zen and Buddhism, and held a wide-ranging Dharma meeting.Empress Dowager Zhong became interested when she heard about it.

A few days ago, she came to Jingcheng Hall and mentioned to Ling Ye that she wanted to go there incognito.

In the past two years, her son has managed to maintain his peace on the face of respecting the king, but in private, he has become more and more frequent in the three states of Yun, Chang, and Wan.Ling Ye has remained calm. "Laozi" said, "If you want to take what you want, you must give it to you." If he wants to take advantage of the opportunity of respecting the king and rebelling against him, he must first let go Strings, otherwise how to catch the tails of those old foxes with sticky ends.

Empress Dowager Zhong wanted to go to Nanshan, whether it was to cover for her son's superficial safety, or to contact someone, Ling Ye thought about it for a while, and finally agreed. Head, can walk and talk, hard blocking is not the best policy.

Use it rather than stop it.

Ling Ye arranged for the emperor's guards and imperial city guards to escort them in micro-clothes, and deliberately did not send shadow guards. If the queen mother wants to contact anyone secretly, give her the courage.At the same time, a secret decree was sent to the generals of a Ningzhou army stationed near Nanshan to prevent King Jing from doing what he wanted to do if he got news of the queen mother's travel.If it wasn't necessary, Ling Ye didn't want to directly mobilize troops and involve the southern half of Kyushu too much in the flames of war.The queen mother was a bargaining chip that kept King Jing from acting rashly for a while, and also gave Ling Ye more time to "catch the fox" and obtain ironclad evidence of treason.

In the evening, Ling Ye received a secret report from the imperial guards, reporting every word and deed of the Queen Mother on this trip, and he returned to Mingcheng Hall from the front more than half an hour late.

Qing Yan and Jing Xing were also there, and Chu Heng was taking two dumplings to taste the first batch of hot spring lychees in early summer this year.

Litchi is a fruit that likes temperature and is not cold-resistant. It is not suitable for planting in a place with four distinct seasons like the Imperial Capital. However, a hundred miles away from the Imperial Capital, there is a naturally formed hot spring basin with a warm climate. Some flowers, plants and fruit trees in the south can grow here. grow into.This place is a Huangzhuang, which encloses an underground hot spring for dozens of miles, and specializes in breeding melons, fruits, poultry and fish that love temperature.

The people below couldn't have been more meticulous in serving the things that were paid tribute to Jiuchong Que.The lychees were picked and sent over that day, although the weather wasn't too hot, they were still chilled with some ice, and when they were presented to the Ming Cheng Hall, the taste remained the same, it was just right for freshness.The lychees are bright red and plump, and the flesh is white and round, which is refreshing and sweet in the mouth.

Both adults and children liked it very much. Seeing Ling Ye coming in, Chu Heng took one from the fruit plate and peeled it for him.

The two dumplings hadn't seen the emperor for several days, and they knelt down obediently to salute. Of course, what was more important was that Ling Ye sent a decree to go to Yuzheng Palace a few days ago, asking them to practice calligraphy well.The dumplings came tonight with their homework for dinner.

Ling Ye screamed and sat beside Chu Heng. Chu Heng handed the peeled lychees to his lips.Qing Yan took the copybook from the servant of the East Palace and presented it to his father. He is smart, quick-witted and obedient, eager to learn. From the time he started learning calligraphy at the age of four, it has only been two years now, and the thousand-character writing has suddenly become horizontal and vertical, and has a good shape. up.

After peeling the lychee for Ling Ye, Chu Heng stopped to wipe his hands, drank herbal tea, looked at the copybook, and praised a few words.Ling Ye nodded approvingly.

Dabai Tuanzi got the award, straightened up proudly, tugged at Ling Ye's sleeves, and began to ask for the award.

Ling Ye finished eating the lychees that Chu Heng gave, pondered for a moment, stroked Dabai Tuanzi's head, and said with a smile: "You study hard and practice calligraphy. After a while, you can see Ji Wuyue."

"...?!" Chu Heng took a sip of herbal tea, and almost choked when he heard Ling Ye's sudden words.

Both eyes of Dabai Tuanzi are wide open. The "Uncle Dongjun" who saved him and brought him candy has always been placed in Qingyan's deepest memory. He is a person he likes very much, although he rarely sees him. , but just mentioning it can make Qing Yan's eyes light up.

"Really? Will Uncle Dongjun come to the imperial capital?"

"Yes." Ling Ye nodded, glanced at Chu Heng, and replied solemnly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Dong Jun's 'junior brother'."

Chu Heng: "..."

Qingyan looked at him eagerly.

"Junior Brother" stretched out his hand to pinch Ling Ye under the table, met Dabai Tuanzi's expectant gaze, felt ashamed of cheating a child from the bottom of his heart, coughed weakly, and said, "...will come."

Qing Yan was really convinced now, and smiled.During his birthday in March, he also received a gift from Dongjun Rang from Ye Shuli, another junior brother of Uncle Dongjun's. Qingyan was very happy.Now I can see him in person again immediately. I heard from the officials of the East Palace that Uncle Dongjun's sword is the most powerful in Dayin Kyushu. He is about to start learning martial arts and swords. He can ask Uncle Dongjun to teach himself.

Qing Yan was delighted, Ling Ye sent him to eat lychees, and called Jing Xing to his side to check his homework.Because Jing Xing was in Lianyan City, he was a little later than Qing Yan, but he was conscientious and well-behaved, and his writing was very good. Ling Ye also praised a few words. Chu Heng put down the teacup and peeled a few lychees After handing the two dumplings, Ling Ye asked the waiter to put away the fruit dish.

Although this fruit is rare, if you eat too much, you will get angry.For the first batch of lychees brought up from Huangzhuang, the emperor rewarded some everywhere.Coincidentally this year, the Empress Dowager is not in the palace, and Princess Changning and her son-in-law took Princess Yangjia to Shiyi to play some time ago.Jing Xing's mother Qing and Princess Chang told Ling Ye two days ago that they had something private to go to Suian City, and they also left Beijing, leaving Jing Xing in the palace.Su Lang, Ye Xinghui and the others also went out on business.

So the several carts of lychees brought in were rewarded to the clan and important ministers in Beijing according to the usual practice, and there were still some left.His majesty's harem was empty, there were few mouths to eat, and more was distributed to King Shenjun, and Han Chengmiao gave some to Chu Xin and Chuyan alone.The rest went to the Mingcheng Palace, and they couldn't finish it even after being exhausted, so they simply gave some to the Shadow Guards, Wuying Palace, and the commanders of the imperial guards, and let them divide it.

In the early morning of the next day, Xie Chu came to thank him, and saw that Chu Heng was also in the Hall of Respect and Sincerity.Commander Xie saluted, and by the way reported the official duties to His Majesty. During the period, he would glance at Yuqian Shimo from time to time. When he was about to leave, Xie Chu couldn't hold back, saying that he wanted to talk to Chu Shimo.

Chu Heng didn't know that he had been exposed by Commander Xie and became a "little bastard", so he followed him out without the slightest hesitation.

Stepping out of the palace gate, he happened to meet Ling Qi who came to report the matter, and Chu Heng nodded in greeting.Ling Qi glanced at Xie Chu, who was walking in front of Chu Heng with an expressionless face, and then moved his eyes to Chu Heng who didn't know it, and gave him a self-seeking look.

Chu Heng: "?"

In the Jingzhang Palace, one needs to be groomed from time to time, and the whole journey was silent until he left the Chongji Gate and reached a secluded place, Xie Chufang stopped and turned around.

"Commander, what's the matter?" Xie Chu didn't speak for a long time, Chu Heng was stared at by him, and he felt a little ominous in his heart, so he took the initiative to ask.

Everyone knows that Imperial Attendant Mo is the most well-behaved in the Hall of Martial Heroes, he never fights in the hall, let alone committing crimes with the Imperial Army and let Commander Xie lead them.In addition to "no one can beat", so Commander Xie needs to take care of it, it is very worry-free for Commander Xie.

Xie Chu gritted his back molars, stared at him with eyes about to beat someone, and asked word by word: "Chu Heng, don't you have anything to explain to me?"
