Emperor Que Shaohua

Nangong Chen bid farewell to Prince Jing the next day, Luo Yanhua did not force him to stay, and said with a smile: "I know that the eldest son is busy, but when Young Master Jin left Luo City, his shoulder injury had not yet healed, so I am very worried about it. Now that I am here, don't If you stay in the village for a few more days, Mr. Tang will be there, and I can give him a diagnosis and treatment."

"A Jin saw Sect Master Jiang and Young Master Lu, and also learned that Tang Fan and the two young heroes were also there, so why would he be willing to leave, so he bothered." Nan Gongchen smiled and cupped his hands, "Brother Jiang also needs to take care, next time Come see me again in a few days.”

Luo Yanhua thought it was enough for him to rest for half a day plus one night, so he didn't delay any longer. Starting with the subordinates stationed in Huaibizhuang, first was Qibi's deputy commander Yan Zhixu, then Xie Xiao, Liuyin commander Zhen Zixian , listened to the reports one by one, and inquired in detail about the situation in Jinling City and the interior of Langhuan.As soon as it happened, all the subordinates of Langhuan ordered to hear the news and came to see him one after another. They waited in the front hall in an endless stream from morning till night.

When the emperor met his subordinates, Luo Pingyuan could not be present. Fortunately, there were Tang Yu, Fan Yin and Nan Gongjin in the village. King Jing asked Rong Feisheng to send two servants to accompany the young masters for a stroll.

There are indeed many magnificent scenes in the city, such as watching the lake on the flat embankment, the sunset in black clothes, crossing the Taiping Bridge, passing the Bell and Drum Towers, and walking at a leisurely pace.

Luo Pingyuan's mind is not on the scenery, but paying attention to the local conditions and customs.Along with Suzhou and Hangzhou, Jinling is the most affluent and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, with more than one million residents. There are countless shops in the city, and the market is full of goods. In Lianqianmo, every household is engaged in mulberry and hemp, or cultivates rice and paddy fields. It is so rich that it is hard to believe that the money sent to the imperial court here is decreasing year by year.

Because Shen Ling is an official and has missed his whereabouts in Yangzhou Mansion, he did not come to Huaibi Village with him. Instead, he handed over the survey and cooperation documents, and stayed in the posthouse of Jinling Mansion to pave the way for the arrival of the fifth prince's official ship. Stopped in front.He summoned the Sergeant Jing Yu who had been stationed earlier, and was busy sorting out the collected information, preparing to present it to King Ning as soon as possible.

Nangong Jin, as the son of a family who grew up in Si, originally planned to take a few friends to go boating on the river. You must know that you have never seen the magnificent scenery of the Qinhuai River for ten miles and the overlapping brocades. How can you appreciate the golden powder of the Southern Dynasty?But after quoting the topic twice, it was obvious that Luo Pingyuan was not interested, so he had to give up for the time being.

When Luo Pingyuan heard of Qinhuai Fengyue, he remembered Ji Tinghui's confession earlier, and the way he contacted Wei Wuze was to go to a brothel called Yuling by the Qinhuai River to find a girl named Huo Yan, but Ji Tinghui was thrown into prison at that time. After half a year, it is conceivable that Huo Yan has long disappeared.

Although Langhuan had locked Wei Wuze's hiding place in Hangzhou, his whereabouts were secretive and the situation was chaotic, so he has not been found yet; and King Ning sent a letter to the division, and selected a few of the most capable men from the Jingyu Guards His reliable subordinates secretly ordered them to search for medicinal materials to restrain Bi Haicheng's heart, but so far there has been no news, so he can't help being worried.

For two consecutive days, when Luo Pingyuan went out early and returned late, he saw Langhuan's subordinates gathered in the front hall of Huaibizhuang, and they left until midnight. Some worried about the body of the emperor's brother.

When the lights were on on the third day, Luo Pingyuan had just had dinner when Gu Yu came and knocked on the door, saying that the Lord invited him to talk in the study, he quickly put down the scroll in his hand, got up and left the guest house.

The study in Huaibizhuang is located in the front yard, which is mainly used by Zhu Jin on a daily basis.At this moment, there were a lot of scrolls on the desk, but Luo Yanhua was sitting in a chair in front of the window, with a calm expression, brushing the fur of the little fox on his lap with his hands.

"Brother Huang, how are you doing these two days?" Luo Pingyuan walked across to him and sat down, "I finally hope that you will think of me as a younger brother." Feeling tired, he added a little more lightness to his tone.

Luo Yanhua smiled. He had never set foot in the south of the Yangtze River since he took over as suzerain, and he finally came here. The meeting with his subordinates was not only to deal with internal affairs and stabilize people's hearts, but also to have many years of affection. Do not refuse.However, even though most of the subordinates are loyal and loyal, there are also some who have doubts and tentativeness. In addition, each of them must urgently ask for instructions to solve important matters, and after three days, I feel that it is quite exhausting.There were still a few subordinates waiting tonight, Rong Feisheng was afraid that he would be tired, so he persuaded them all to go back.

"Ping Yuan, I heard from Fei Sheng that you and the young heroes have traveled a lot inside and outside Jinling City," he didn't rush to answer, he took the pear flower cup on the table in front of him, poured a cup of tea for the emperor, "Didn't the second son of Nangong take you on a boat on the Qinhuai River and appreciate Nanqu?"

"He did mention it, but there is no such leisurely mood nowadays." Luo Pingyuan shook his head slightly, "Besides, when I entered Huaibizhuang, I first heard the music of Miss Jiang's piano, followed by the ensemble of the emperor's brother and Mr. Nangong. Just listen."

"Nanqu focuses on simplicity and elegance, and playing music is second. Wu Nong's soft language is accompanied by pipa playing and singing, which is unique. I think the girl Pei who died in Wanjian Villa should be good at this art. Didn't Mr. Nangong mention that Mu Shaoqing Do you sometimes ask her to sing a few songs?" Luo Yanhua said leisurely, and suddenly changed the subject, "I was thinking, Ping Yuan, last year you met Nalan Yu in Huangjue Temple, and he intended to use the rhythm to control you However, when you thought you had succeeded, you killed him with a sword. Sanskrit monks and demons are by no means in vain. You were weak at the time, and you were at a disadvantage. Why were you able to stay awake? Do you still remember how you felt at that time? "

Huaibi Village has already sent people to the main rudder of Cao State to escort Shao Qingquan, but they haven't brought them yet, but in the confession obtained on the river, Shao Qingquan confessed that the last Fu Wei under Wei Yin's men was in ambush for Mu Shaoqing. The hidden pile next to him once got Nalan Yu to teach Sanskrit, and he can control other people's minds with his voice.

After Luo Pingyuan heard what happened in Wanjian Villa, he concluded that Mu Shaoqing must have been plotted against, so stubborn and paranoid. Since Pei Suxue was not sent by King Jing, there is only one explanation for her actions. It was ordered by Wei Wuze.Nan Gongchen hadn't noticed that this luthier possessed martial arts, but she undoubtedly had a mellow singing voice and a good voice.

Last year, only eight months had passed since the blood-filled Buddhist hall in Huangjue Temple, and the soul-stirring scene, the appearance of Nalan Yu reappeared in his mind, with a solemn expression, as if there was a Buddha image, and the tone was like silver.

"At that time, I just felt that his voice came straight into my mind, and every word echoed endlessly. I knew it was the magic sound piercing my ears, but I couldn't get rid of it and had to listen. It seemed that the altar was shaken and I was about to be led away." He recalled Said, "Those words he said are not casual lies, every sentence has a reason, as if he knew me very well in advance, deliberately aimed at the weak point in his heart, intending to provoke the demons. True and false Mixed in one place, if you want to think and distinguish, you will immediately feel confused and painful, and only by following his voice can you feel a little relaxed."

"Taking advantage of the situation is the easiest way to get it. I think everyone has emotions, love, hate, anger, and ignorance, so it gives the villain an opportunity." Luo Yanhua said thoughtfully, "At that time, Ping Yuan first saw the bloody case. At the scene, and then hit by Misty Smoke, being able to keep the clear and clear at the most flustered moment is definitely something that ordinary people can do, which shows that the cultivation base is pure."

"Brother Huang, I'm an ordinary person, and I'm not a sage, so how can I be free from worries and fears. The reason why I broke free from the control at that time was not because of my cultivation, but because of what Nalan Yu said. I didn't believe it." Luo Pingyuan Suddenly feeling ashamed, he said in a low voice, "He kept saying that you had a witchcraft nightmare on me, how could I believe it, and he brought up the death of my mother and concubine, trying to stir up my hatred for my empress and you, but I was already in my heart. Knowing the truth, I only felt angry when I heard the words, but I kept a ray of clarity."

In the eyes of the Crown Prince, Emperor Tianyi, Wei Wuze, and all those who are hostile to King Jing, Rupin's death means that he and King Jing will never get rid of the knot. Because of this weakness, they deceive and use it more or less He tried to seduce and seduce him, stuffing sharp weapons into his hands again and again, encouraging him to point at Brother Huang.

"It turned out to be like this. In the court and the public, Dao Rupin was killed by the queen mother. No wonder Nalan Yu thinks that as long as he uses this to attack his heart, he will be able to instigate His Royal Highness Prince Ning's demons to flourish, and then slander me back." There was a faint smile on King Jing's lips, "So, does Ping Yuan really believe me?"

"I have always believed that no matter what happens, Brother Huang will not harm me." Luo Pingyuan blurted out, "It's not that muddled and arrogant Mu Shaoqing, who can't tell right from wrong if he is bewitched by a few words!" When he said this, he temporarily ignored all his dissatisfaction and finding faults a year ago, so he still spoke with confidence.

The smile in Luo Yanhua's eyes deepened, and he said slowly: "Speaking of which, what Shaoqing met was not Nalan Yu, but a young woman who was always by his side. Thinking back now, he started to become violent, he refused to obey orders, and asked me to go back to Jiangnan, which was almost four years ago. But I am still thinking these days, what is Shaoqing's inner demon? What is it, apart from what Mr. Nangong said, and his own words and deeds, is there any other reason."

Having said that, he paused, "We have no evidence for Shaoqing being controlled by the Sanskrit technique, but only inference, people who follow Shaoqing will not believe that they are being used by others, let alone alleviate the situation. Although I ordered everyone to exercise restraint, there are still some conflicts within Langhuan. Mingjian is currently split into three groups. Deputy Commander Chen has come to meet me, Deputy Commander Li led his subordinates to support Shaoqing, and some of them are vacillating and waiting to see , the rest of the orders are also more or less unstable. These days, the group of people leaning on Wanjian Villa has attracted a lot of gangs, and they are cooperating with each other. The momentum is very bad, and it seems that they are deliberately provoking trouble."

"What's going on?" Luo Pingyuan thought about the inner demon that King Jing said, but he really didn't understand Mu Shaoqing's character and heart, and it was useless to think about it, and instead worried about the development of the situation.

In the past few days, two strongholds in Qibi in the city were exposed and trespassed, and a bank run by Mr. Zhen was robbed.Shaoqing's subordinates, together with the Sanjiang Gang and Duanmendao gangs, had constant friction with Ge Ling, and people were injured every time. But just this morning, for a few disputes, they besieged Yu Lingzhu's subordinates. Brother Hengdao was seriously injured.If it continues unchecked, the loss will be irreparable. Even if Shaoqing can wake up, it will be difficult to turn back due to the situation. "

Luo Pingyuan didn't expect that when he went to the outskirts of the city to see Sangma, the situation had intensified to this point, and his heart sank suddenly, why didn't he understand the seriousness of this going on.For a moment, it seemed as if he saw Wei Wuze's controlling hand behind all of this.

If there is a real internal strife in Langhuan, how will the situation evolve? The horizontal sword that came down from the battlefield and the Mingjian, which is famous in the martial arts, are the two most famous among the twelve orders of Langhuan. How tragic, Luo Pingyuan didn't even dare to imagine the severity and consequences.If it really comes to that time, even if Mu Shaoqing regains his senses, he will die, and everything will be meaningless.

"Brother Huang, why didn't you say so early? I've been chatting about Nalan Yu for a long time. I shouldn't be wandering around these few days. I should stay in the villa." He frowned and complained, "Could it be that you already thought of it?" As a countermeasure, is there a way to bring Mu Shaoqing back to his senses as soon as possible?"

"Wei Wuze has managed the puzzle that has been laid out for many years. With one move, Guanshi Rong, Lingzhu Yu, and Mr. Zhen, many capable people who are familiar with the situation, have not found a solution. I have only been there for three days, and there is a perfect plan. I can only try to stabilize it first. Only by staying in the situation can we talk about other things." Seeing that his eyes were full of expectations, Luo Yuhua couldn't help sighing, "Of course, just defending and not attacking is not the answer. Instead of going, I have already sent someone a message to Wanjian Villa, asking Master Shaozhuang to gather in Xianlou in three days and ask him if he dares to come."

Since Luo Pingyuan set off from Luocheng, all he heard was the Jiangnan area's slander against King Jing. Da Miao: Mu Shaoqing fights righteously every day, if he receives an invitation, if he dares not even show his face, he will be guilty and timid in the eyes of others, so why talk about the sword test conference to show his power and form the Mingjian League?

He nodded and said: "Brother Huang, as the suzerain, has worked hard for Langhuan for many years. How could he ever fail Mu Shaoqing? Why should he be splashed with dirty water for no reason! He should speak clearly and punish him for the following crimes. If it spreads to the rivers and lakes, it is also fair and right and wrong in the hearts of the people!"

When he spoke uprightly, he thought that Mu Shaoqing would act perversely after all because he had been plotted against. Since he was almost defeated, he reluctantly changed his tone, "However, for the sake of the overall situation, the disposal is still secondary. We have to find a way to eliminate the influence of Sanskrit as soon as possible."

"Based on what Yuan thinks, it can be said that people have the same heart." Luo Yanhua was a little helpless, "Everyone hopes that Shaoqing will change his mind, but the difficulty lies in this method to resolve the heart barrier. Although Mr. Nangong told the inside story, but if I sat on the Juxian Building and said to Mu Shaoqing face to face, I didn't send anyone to watch you. Pei Suxue is the internal response of the Kunlun Mansion. Bewitched, he has been fully exploited, do you think he will be enlightened, repent, and cry to me to apologize?"

"..." Luo Pingyuan was speechless for a while, thinking with his toes, he knew that if the situation could be so ideal, why would he be worried today.Back then, even if his mind was intact, King Jing's explanation would never be listened to by himself.Besides, even if it was a misunderstanding, it would be embarrassing for the suzerain to monitor his subordinates behind closed doors, which is really not humane.

"Since the accident, there must have been countless people who have persuaded Shaoqing, including close friends and elders. If he is sane, it should have some effect, but the fact is that kind persuasion is like adding fuel to the fire. The more you persuade, the worse it will be. , it shows that he already has a deep knowledge of Sanskrit music." Luo Yanhua said, "That Miss Pei was motivated by her fate. As the saying goes, one needs to tie the bell to untie the bell. It can only be untied. If you want to drag the person who has entered the dead alley back, maybe you are forcing him to slam his head against the south wall. I think, even if I saw Shaoqing in Juxian Tower, it is impossible to be in this moment. It changed him in an instant."

"Then, how should we arrange the meeting?" Luo Pingyuan felt a little heavy in his heart suddenly, he had to tie the bell to untie the bell, but Pei Suxue was already dead, it was impossible to come back to life, could it be that Mu Shaoqing had to let Mu Shaoqing continue to be obsessed like this, There is no way to save it, and even if there are other ways, it is probably too late to find them.

He thought of some possibilities in a short moment. As the suzerain, King Jing must put the overall situation first.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the meeting in Juxian Tower, it is a solution to arrange for people to restrain Mu Shaoqing.

It’s just that the Sword Crying Commander cannot go to the meeting without preparation. If the swords are really facing each other, will it be impossible to stop the split of Langhuan and fall into a situation of cannibalism? Wei Wuze must be lurking in the dark to watch and arrange, maybe Waiting for King Jing to take action against Mu Shaoqing.The current Jiangnan Wulin is full of undercurrents, if you are not careful, you may fall into the trap.

Based on Luo Pingyuan's understanding of Luo Yanhua, if it is not a last resort, the emperor will definitely find other ways. What is the purpose of this meeting?He said: "At that time, I will go with Brother Huang."

"No, it's not necessary to make a move before we see the outcome." Luo Yanhua saw his younger brother's thoughts, "Although there is a dispute within Langhuan, one of us cannot kill each other, otherwise it will be a kinship and hatred; besides, Now that we are launching an attack, what about the sword-testing meeting that the martial arts is watching? We came here to calm the situation, not to make Jiangnan troublesome from now on."

As he said that, he smiled faintly, "Even if I want to settle accounts with Master Mu Shaozhuang, I will wait until he regains consciousness, so this time I have an appointment at Juxianlou, I only intend to see Shaoqing's condition with my own eyes, and see if I can let him go." For a fire, it is best not to act aggressively before the sword test meeting. At that time, there will be Xuanshuang guards, Feisheng and Wanli will go with me, and I have invited Mr. Nangong to accompany me. However, my brother thinks he is not fighting A gentleman who doesn't fight back, still intends to take the opportunity to arrange some schemes, I wonder if Ping Yuan is willing to help me?"

"Brother, tell me," Luo Pingyuan said immediately, King Jing tried his best to follow the right path in everything, but he was always pleasantly surprised by the occasional tricks, so he also smiled, "As long as you can, you will follow your orders."

Outside the window, the shadows of the trees were whirling and the moon was shining like frost. Before they knew it, the two had been talking for nearly an hour.Listening to Luo Yanhua's detailed explanation of the idea, Luo Pingyuan pondered over and over again, thinking to himself that it was indeed worth a try, and said: "I will follow the plan at that time, but Brother Huang, do you think that Gu Zheng's character and ability are really good?" Can you handle this?"

"Gu Zheng is Gu Di's younger brother. Although his martial arts are a little inferior, he has a smart and agile personality. He is very popular in Wanjian Villa. He has some friendship with Fei Sheng. After the accident, he has not broken contact. Going out to do business and quietly come to see me." Luo Yuhua said, "I think he might be able to do it. It should be noted that Shaoqing's subordinates are also from Langhuan, headed by Gu Di. Although they have always been loyal to Shaoqing, they are also loyal to Shaoqing. There are many hesitation and apprehension, unwilling to be strangers to the other orders who had a harmonious relationship in the past, so as to draw their swords. In particular, Shaoqing locked Zhu Jin up and refused to release him. Most of the villa privately thought it was inappropriate. Therefore, as long as the handling is coordinated Properly, we may be able to rescue Zhu Jin without resorting to force."

The tea in the two cups was completely cold, he poured out the residual tea, and refilled the pot: "Vice Zhuangzhu has been trapped in Wanjian Villa for two months, and people in Langhuan are in a state of panic, most of which are caused by Shaoqing. It's mostly because Fei Sheng and Xie Xiao wanted to go and snatch him without him. I was worried that if the situation worsened and there would be no room for turning around, I ordered everyone to be patient. Compared with entanglement with Shaoqing, first put Rescuing Zhu Jin is the first thing my suzerain should do."

"Brother Huang, I will find a chance to meet Gu Zheng in the past two days. Don't worry, I will try my best to check the situation of Wanjian Villa besides bringing out Vice-Master Zhu." Luo Pingyuan said, feeling a little worried, "It's just that If Mu Shaoqing is careful and careful, and would rather lose face than attend the appointment at Juxianlou, it will be much more troublesome."

Luo Yanhua had been sitting for a long time, and at this moment he was a little tired, he got up and stretched, and then he replied leisurely: "It doesn't matter, it is not bad as I thought, but Fan Shaoqing still has three parts of his mind, and he received my post." , I can’t help but come.”
