Taiping Inn

The King of Shu and the King of Tang also came here tonight, and each occupied a viewing building. The two of them also noticed the abnormality at this time.

The King of Shu suddenly stood up, held the windowsill with both hands, leaned forward slightly, smiling and making fun, and was a bit like watching the fun.

On the other hand, the King of Tang still couldn't sit still. A woman next to her was a woman with skin that was better than snow, her face was peach blossoms, and her eyes were full of spring waves, but she was a stunning beauty who was not inferior to Master Hengbo. However, at this time, the Tang King's expression was very solemn, and even his ten fingers had pierced into the handrail.

No matter what, the King of Tang started the power of the imperial capital, and he went to Liangzhou to take over Qin Xiang's military power. If he really wanted to pursue it, he would not be able to escape the blame.

As for the last lookout building, there is no big shot, it is a place for Shi Hengbo to rest for a while. At this time, Shi Hengbo had already changed into clothes and sat cross-legged on a soft couch, with the huge skirt spreading out, like a blooming peony. She looked out the window with a faint expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

Next to Shi Hengbo was a maid who had followed her for many years and asked softly: "Miss, aren't you angry?"

Shi Hengbo shook his head and asked back, "Why are you angry?"

The maid said anxiously, "These people disturbed the lady's performance."

Shi Hengbo smiled faintly, "It's better to disturb me. It was originally someone else who looked at me, but now it's me who look at me. Isn't it good to take a break?"

The maid pouted and wanted to say something, Shi Hengbo said again, "Maybe we can rest all night and watch a good show."

The maid asked, "What a good show?"

Shi Hengbo said, "That young man should be the orphan of the Zhang family."

"Hey?" The maid was protected by Shi Hengbo over the years, and she was not old, so she was still a little naive. "How did the lady know?"

"Guess." Shi Hengbo smiled slightly. "The trick of slandering and putting a hat is Qingluanwei's specialty, but Ding Ce does not have such courage to use this trick on Lu Yanbing, if it is not for the interest. , He would not even offend Lu Yanbing. After all, Lu Yanbing is not a pitiful person like us. Her father and brother are both amazing big shots, and relatives and friends are not ordinary people. Offending such a person is very troublesome and not worth it. But Ding Ce did this, what was the purpose? Naturally, it involved personal interests, and he had to do it. In this way, things were very simple. Ding Ce must be telling the truth, and that young man was the orphan of the Zhang family. ”

"Why did Miss Lu protect this young man?" the maid asked again.

Shi Hengbo said: "It should be because of Mr. Qingping. It is said that Mr. Qingping had a fate with Miss Zhang and had a good relationship with Mr. Zhang and his son. Thinking of the relationship between old friends, he would definitely take good care of the Zhang family. The orphan, Miss Lu, as Mr. Qingping’s junior sister, naturally had to protect this young man.”

The maid nodded, "So that's it."

Shi Hengbo said: "This young man should have something to rely on. If I guess it's right, his reliance should come."

At this time, Ding Ce had already torn his face with Lu Yanbing on the platform and shouted, "Governor Lu, please get out of here, I'm going to take the initiative to take the people!"

Lu Yanbing knew that he was no match for Ding Ce, but he never gave in and said in a deep voice: "I advise Governor Ding to think clearly, stay at the front line of life and meet again in the future."

Ding Ce stopped talking, his expression was firm and he was not shaken at all.

It’s not that he doesn’t know how to stay in the front line and meet in the future, but that he has no way out. Once some things are done, they will never be cleaned up in their entire lives. He can only go all the way to the dark, hoping that the Empress Dowager will not discuss peace with Li Xuandu.

There is a saying in the world that only the wrong name is given, no wrong nickname. Ding Ce is called "The Great Thunder Hand". His abilities are naturally above his hands, although he is unbearable when facing Li Xuandu. But he was still sure to win against Shanglu Yanbing and Zhang Baizhou.

This is Lu Yanbing's biggest disadvantage. Although she has a huge backer, even if she hurts someone, she will probably be safe. The key is that she can't beat others. This is very embarrassing. It's just that she has to fall. , The truth that everyone can follow is really reliable.

Lu Yanbing's silver teeth were important. He took out a soft sword from his Sumeru treasure. The soft sword was purple all over, but the sword edge faintly revealed a bit of blue and white. The thigh of the sword was melted into the shape of two dragon claws entangled. The sword was The head is the dragon's head, the hilt is the dragon's neck, the whole sword is like a purple dragon. It doesn't have to be urged by the energy, but the sword is already full of awesomeness. It is Lu Yanbing's sword "Purple Chi", although this sword is not in the sword. It is also a rare good sword.

Lu Yanbing shook the soft sword in his hand, and the sword body twisted, like a poisonous snake. He said softly: "This sword is called 'Purple Chi', which was given to me by my master when I left the master's sect. Today I will learn about the governor Ding. The unique skills.”

Ding Ce had a sword around his waist. He reached out and pressed the sword around his waist and gently stroked the handle of the knife.

Of course, this knife is not the Wenluan sword used by ordinary Qingluanwei, but the "Wuluan sword" passed down from generation to generation by the Thirteen Taibao of Qingluanwei. However, because it avoids the imperial court's emphasis on literature and martial arts, the "Wuluan sword" is also known as " Da Wenluan”.

Zhang Baizhou stood up and did not want to let Lu Yanbing fight the enemy alone.

But both of them knew that even if they joined forces, they would not be Ding Ce's opponent.

Ding Ce said slowly, "I am undoubtedly an enemy of Governor Lu, but the current situation is right, so I have to do it. When today's matter is settled, Ding will come to the door to apologize."

Lu Yanbing sneered, "I dare not be the governor Ding to apologize. It is better for Governor Ding to beat me to death here."

Ding Ce's face jumped slightly.

He wanted to beat this woman to death here, but he couldn't, because this woman was involved in a wide range of affairs and had a deep background. If he really beat her to death, his fate would not be as simple as asking for forgiveness, but he would have to be prepared to pay for his life with his life. So he could only remain silent.

Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs, and saints are unkind and treat the people as straw dogs. People are divided into three, six, and nine levels. The superiors do not treat the inferiors as people, but in the eyes of immortals, the superiors and the inferiors are no different. They are all ants, but they can be treated equally.

Ding Ce slowly drew out the sword at his waist. Under the background of the lights, a cold light flashed across the blade, and at the same time, thousands of lights were reflected on the blade.

At this time, Huang Shiyuan and Qi Foyan in the watchtower had begun to hesitate whether to go down to stop today's incident. Now the undercurrents in the Imperial Capital are surging, but on the surface, the Emperor's Party and the Empress' Party have not torn their faces, and both sides have maintained considerable restraint. But the two experienced Confucian masters know that this calm is only temporary, just like a warehouse full of gunpowder, as long as a spark can be detonated, causing the situation to be completely out of control. And today's sudden conflict is likely to become a spark. If the Emperor's Party and the Empress' Party turn against each other in advance, or even lose both, it will only benefit Li Xuandu who is watching.

Further away from the platform, there is a small lake with a building ship floating in the lake. Of course, it is not as good as the pleasure boat on the Qinhuai River, but being able to go boating in the Imperial Capital, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, is already an extremely impressive feat.

At this time, there is another group of people on the boat, also looking at the brightly lit place in the distance. On the second-floor terrace of the building ship, a young man is holding a "Thousand Miles View" in his hand and can see clearly.

The so-called "Thousand-mile Vision", also known as "Thousand-mile Eyes" and "Telescope", as the name suggests, can enable people to see the scenery in the distance clearly. Like glass mirrors and firearms, they were transported from the Anxi Great Qin State in the far west to the Central Plains through sea trade. Not only are they extremely expensive, but they are also very scarce. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.

There was also a white-haired old man standing next to the young man, but he could see the scene on the other side clearly without "Thousand-mile Vision". This was because of his realm cultivation. The old man said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The young man was the Emperor Tianbao who traveled incognito, and the old man was the Confucian hermit Mr. Bai Lu. Because of the special status of the Emperor Tianbao, they did not go to any watchtower, but went boating on the lake and watched from afar. Because this place was empty and no one made a fuss by relying on their status, and Ding Ce deliberately raised his voice, the voice was clearly audible.

Emperor Tianbao put down the "Qianliwang" in his hand and said thoughtfully: "The orphan of the Zhang family, the descendant of Zhang Suqing."

Mr. Bai Lu said softly: "If I remember correctly, there is only one male left in the Zhang family, named Zhang Baizhou. He is not the son of Zhang Suqing, but the nephew of Zhang Suqing. He has been fond of chivalry since he was a child. He studied under the Shushan Sword School, so he escaped a disaster."

"I see." Emperor Tianbao nodded slightly.

Mr. Bai Lu asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to protect this young man?"

"No hurry, wait and see." Emperor Tianbao shook his head.

Mr. Bai Lu nodded gently and said no more.

On the platform, just when Ding Ce was about to take action regardless of all the consequences, he heard a woman say: "Your Excellency is so arrogant, I want to see what your methods are."

Ding Ce was startled at first, and then his face changed suddenly.

At some point, a woman appeared in the last row and was walking slowly towards the first row.

Just looking at her face, she seemed to be in her forties, but she was still charming and dignified, with a bit of the peace and compassion of Buddhists, which was out of place in this place of fireworks.

There were many lawless devils among the guests today. If they saw such a beautiful woman in the brothel at ordinary times, they would inevitably feel blasphemous, but they soon found that this woman was a little different. She had a momentum that made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, as if they had met a natural enemy, or as if Ye Gong, who loved dragons, finally saw a real dragon.

She walked step by step, strolling in the garden, as if no one was around.

No matter the talent in their hearts, no matter the knowledge in their stomachs, no matter their family background, no matter whether their personalities were good or bad, the people present had one thing in common, that is, there was no real fool.

They immediately understood that this woman was not an ordinary person, but a real master, at least at the level of a celestial being. This had nothing to do with their own cultivation and vision, but was a judgment based on common sense. After all, those who could ignore Ding Ce could not be inferior to Ding Ce.

So the crowd stood up and made way.

The woman came to the first row and stood beside Zhang Baizhou. Without any movement, Ding Ce took three steps back, as if facing a great enemy.

Zhang Baizhou lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered: "Auntie Lan."

The woman did not speak, but just waved her sleeves.

Lycoris radiata grew all over the ground, and in an instant it seemed as if they had come from the human world to the banks of the Sanzu River.
