[Comprehensive] Proving the Way with the Sword

Kangxi survived the catastrophe but did not rush back to the capital. Instead, he stayed outside the Great Wall for two months and returned to the capital in late September.

The Mongolian princes and ministers came to see the summer palace outside the Great Wall, and what they saw was the undiminished Kangxi of the past, and he didn't look half sick.After that, the original weird atmosphere in the capital dissipated and calm returned.

However, everyone in the court knew that this calmness was an illusion. Underneath the surface calmness was a turbulent undercurrent. Since ancient times, the struggle for imperial power can never be peaceful.

When Yinzhen learned of Jiu Nan's death, Yun Shanyuan was unluckily involved again.He had seen the kung fu of nine difficulties with his own eyes, and immediately worried about whether Yun Shanyuan was injured or not.

Although it has been more than two months, and any injuries that can be cured have been healed long ago, Yinzhen still made an appointment with Yun Shanyuan immediately, this time not at Tantuo Temple, but at the racecourse .

Yun Shanyuan received the long-lost letter, since Yinzhen set the location at the racecourse, then his arm injury should be almost healed.She agreed to go to the appointment, taking advantage of the opportunity to find out what Kangxi had to say about Jiu Nanzhi's death, and this time was probably their last meeting.

After Jiu Nan's death, not long after Yun Shanyuan returned to Beijing, he heard that Yin Zhen was injured in his left arm in order to save him.Knowing that Yinzhen's life is safe, she has no time to worry about people far away in the sky. Who made her already have two medicines in her body, Huamaisan and Qibudaoming Dan.

Yun Shanyuan went to investigate Yuan Chengzhi, and found out that he was the son of Yuan Chonghuan, a former border general, and a peerless master in the world of that era.

Yuan Chonghuan was ordered to die by Emperor Chongzhen at the end of Ming Dynasty, and Ajiu was Chongzhen's daughter. It can be said that Yuan Chengzhi and Ajiu were separated from each other by killing their father.On that day, Master Jiu Nan's maddened grief showed that there was not only hatred between the two of them, but perhaps there was also a love affair, but those were all annihilated in time.

The grievances of the previous generation should have nothing to do with Yun Shanyuan, but who made her take two more medicines, among which Huamaisan was probably given by Yuan Chengzhi to the younger generation.

This is not groundless speculation. Yuan Chengzhi, as a descendant of the anti-Qing general, his father was killed by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which also involved Huang Taiji's strategy. He experienced the history of the Qing army entering the pass, and his mentality must be very complicated. .

If Shi Xiangyun's mother is Yuan Chengzhi's daughter, would Yuan Chengzhi want her to marry into the Shi family?

Yun Shanyuan investigated the four families of King Xue of Jia Shi, and they started to prosper because they supported the entry of the Qing court.

Shi Xiangyun's mother, Yuan Shi, appeared to be a child of an ordinary gentry family, but it was not difficult to fake her side in that war-torn era.Yuan married into the historian against Yuan Chengzhi's wishes, and Yuan Chengzhi severed ties with him, and even prescribed Huamaisan, a medicine that prevents people from cultivating deep internal strength, which completely broke the relationship between father and daughter, and The potency of the medicine lasted for three generations.

This inference can be established logically, but only Yuan Chengzhi knows the facts.Just like what the Nine Difficulties said, the Seven-step Killing Pill may only be lifted by a master higher than her.

Yun Shanyuan went to see several famous doctors in the capital, and they couldn't find any other symptoms except Yun Shanyuan's palace cold symptoms.Jiu Nan once said that when the Qibu Duoming Pill is poisoned, the lower abdomen will be extremely cold, which is exactly the same as the palace cold syndrome.

When Xu Zhen arrived at the racecourse, he saw Yun Shanyuan sitting on a horse in a daze, he got on the horse and walked over, "Shall we run around?"

Yun Shanyuan came back to his senses, and looked at Yinzhen's left hand first, "Your injuries are all healed? You were seriously injured when you were kicked by Da Zhuang back then. You won't be injured repeatedly in the same position this time, right?" ?Old wounds and new wounds, beware of the root cause of the disease. Why do you have an appointment at the racecourse, riding a horse and pulling the reins requires strength."

When Yinzhen heard that Yun Shanyuan still remembered his old injury, it was different from the feeling when he learned that Kangxi remembered it. Only he knew the complex emotions, but he said with ease, "It's just a small injury." That's all. If I could have endured more back then, I wouldn't have suffered that kick. Not to mention these things, I heard that you were practicing horseback riding, so I just wanted to come to the racecourse for a run together."

Such an appointment is naturally illegal.However, Yinzhen couldn't hold back when he was young, and he still can't hold back when he grows up. The difference is that the matter of patience is very different.And one day, he will be able to endure everything to become gold, and he will no longer find people or things that he must be impulsive about.

Yun Shanyuan is not surprised that Yinzhen knows her movements.This time she came here in men's clothing, which is different from how little girls would be recognized when wearing men's clothing many years ago. Now she relies on simple makeup and has a free and easy temperament that is different from that of a deep-house woman, making it more difficult for people to recognize her as a daughter. dead.

After Yun Shanyuan knew that she had two medicines in her body, and that no one in the capital could cure her, she remembered an important skill she forgot to practice—horse riding.She can ride a horse proficiently, that is to say, she can really go far and fly.

"Okay, let's run around." Now that Yun Shanyuan is here, he won't be afraid to run around with Yinzhen.

This is Yinzhen's private racecourse, without Yinzhen's permission, no one except Kangxi can enter.Therefore, the two ran around without reservation.With Yun Shanyuan's experience of riding a horse for only a few months, being able to run evenly with Yin Zhen, it can be seen that she has already left the school.

This lap ran quite smoothly, and when the two dismounted and walked slowly, their backs were slightly sweating.With this happy mood, the two walked silently along the grass outside the racecourse to the big tree on the hillside.

Yinzhen slightly lowered his head to look at Yun Shanyuan's side face, and only then did he see some scars under her right ear, and immediately frowned slightly, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to caress them, "This is left by the dust whisk used by Nine Difficulties. Why didn't you use the ointment for removing scars?"

Yun Shanyuan felt a heat in her ears, she didn't expect Yinzhen to stretch out her hand, and then she took a small step back, letting Yinzhen's hand be empty. "It's all minor injuries, with scars, so I remember this lesson."

I remember that Jianghu is a world where the strong are respected. Even if she suffers from Huamaisan and cannot develop deep internal strength, she will never give up her belief in becoming stronger because of this.

Yinzhen's fingers trembled, and he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't notice Yun Shanyuan's retreating movement, but how could he not remember it in his heart.

"Okay, it's up to you, just take it as a lesson. This time I came to you just to ask a question."

Yun Shanyuan motioned to Yinzhen and said directly, "What's the problem?"

Yinzhen didn't look at Yun Shanyuan but looked at the sky, and when the sun was setting, the sunset was burning.

"I want to ask you, are you sure you want to go?"

Yun Shanyuan looked at Yinzhen's side face, this question seemed to be superfluous.Kangxi was assassinated this time, and the struggle in the capital went from dark to bright, and then from bright to dark. This is the beginning and will not stop.If you don't leave at this time, when will you wait?

"You should have inquired more or less about the past of the big family historian. If I don't leave now, I'm afraid there will be troubles in the future. And I want to leave."

Yinzhen looked at the sunset glow changing into magnificent colors, and he remembered the moment of life and death back then.

The first time he faced the vicious dog, he told Yun Shanyuan to leave, but she refused.The second time, he thought that his medicine was useless and let Yun Shanyuan leave, but she still wouldn't leave.

What about the past of the big house of the historian, if he made up his mind to deal with it, he could hide it from Khan Ama.

But now, she said she wanted to leave.When she can gain glory and wealth, she will leave.

Even if the martial arts are as high as nine difficulties, it is not that he was seriously injured by the firecrackers and the army.

This is an era of declining martial arts, Yun Shanyuan wants to pursue the way of swordsmanship, it seems like a dream come true.But letting Yun Shanyuan live in a deep house would be even more pathetic.

"Okay, I understand." Yin Zhen said slowly, he saw that the sunset was getting more and more beautiful, just like the sunset that he had seen on Tong Chi Island.

At that time, he didn't understand, he didn't understand the relationship between Xiao Xuanzi and Xiao Guizi.Now, he understands, and when he understands, it hurts and he has to let go.

**

A few days later, Kangxi summoned Yinzhen, "You haven't mentioned the reward I asked you to think about outside the Great Wall, but you forgot?"

Yinzhen knelt down, "Responding to Ama's words, I would like to ask for a decree. At the beginning of next month, Shi Xiangyun, the daughter of Shi Nai, will pass away due to illness."

Kangxi was really stunned for a moment, then he frowned and snapped, "Ridiculous!"

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen, the reward he was asking for was not Yun Shanyuan's death, but asking for permission to let the orphaned daughter of the eldest family of the historian disappear from this world, just like Wei Xiaobao left the capital back then.

"Yinzhen, do you know what you are talking about! How can such nonsense come from the mouth of the prince!"

Yinzhen looked up at Kangxi, "Ama Khan, my son may be talking nonsense, but Yinzhen knows what he is doing. Some people should not be trapped within the red wall, they belong to the far reaches of the rivers and lakes."

"Absurd, where did you hear these fallacies!" Kangxi stood up, glaring at Yinzhen, as if he didn't expect that his always silent and steady son would become like another person.

Yinzhen looked at Kangxi without evasion, he took a deep breath and said, "Ama Khan, my son is not bewitched by others. Zi Xiao's father, I just learned from Khan Ama how to treat friends. It's really good. You let Mr. Wei leave the capital, which is a place of right and wrong, and my minister is also reluctant to leave his friends and be trapped in the deep house."

'boom! Kangxi picked up the tea cup at hand and threw it beside Yinzhen, the tea stains splashed on Yinzhen's body and wet his clothes, "Bold! Shi Xiangyun is just a woman, how dare you compare her with the important officials of the court !"

"An important minister of the imperial court?" Yinzhen laughed, "Ama, Wei Xiaobao is an important official of the imperial court, but he is also a fake eunuch, the head of the Tiandihui, who helps rebels, falsely preaches imperial decrees, and drops dead prisoners. What rules are there?"

When Yinzhen saw that Kangxi was so angry that his face was flushed, he continued, "I didn't understand back then why Khan Ama let Wei Xiaobao go. Now I understand. Khan Ama taught me a lesson. A life-and-death friend , the friendship between master and apprentice, the love between brothers and sisters. All these make the son unwilling to let go, but determined to let go without violating the country and the community."

Kangxi stretched out his finger and pointed at Yinzhen. He was so angry that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

Time is the most ruthless, in the blink of an eye Xiao Guizi has been away from Xiao Xuanzi for five or six years.It seemed that everyone had forgotten about Wei Xiaobao, even he himself thought that this person had never appeared.The palace has become more and more rules, the rules he wants others to abide by, no one will be as bold as Wei Xiaobao, falsely pass on the imperial decree, and deceive the emperor.

But when the palace gate is locked and the moon is in the sky, who knows, he will look at the bright moon and think of Wei Xiaobao.Is Xiao Guizi who is far away from the rivers and lakes okay?Will Xiao Guizi miss Xiao Xuanzi who is tall in the temple?

More than two months ago, when Nine Difficulties assassinated halfway, Kangxi thought of Wei Xiaobao again. Xiaobao was greedy for money and lust, and he cherished his life like gold.

The encounter between Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao was an accident of fate, which made him unable to use the distinction between monarch and minister to wear away the affection of those years.A friendship between life and death, a teacher and a friend, like brotherhood, how can it be easily erased.The king is ruthless, but he is still a mortal.As Yinzhen said, Xiaobao wanted to leave without violating the country and society. He was unwilling and unwilling, but he still let go.

This was the last thing Xiao Xuanzi could do for Xiao Guizi.

Kangxi closed his eyes, and he said to Yinzhen, "Go out and kneel, and kneel until your mind is clear."
