Lanke Chess Edge

In the imperial city at midnight, the two princes were in a gloomy mood.

The king of Wu led his troops to confront his father face to face outside the imperial study room. Under such circumstances, the old eunuch Li Sizhe still held the imperial edict and read out the edict passed on to the king of Jin.

Subsequent developments did not follow the wishes of the anxious King Wu. Among the three armies he led, the commanders of Zhang Jianying and Beixuanying, the moment the old eunuch finished reading the edict, immediately defected and shouted loudly in front of his own soldiers. Rebellion surrounded the Southern Army in the middle.

In the end, after a while of fighting, the commander of the Southern Army was killed. In addition, all the soldiers knew that they were not the "King of Justice and Diligence", and their morale collapsed. They knelt down and surrendered one after another. was also captured alive.

At the same time, King Jin had fled into the Gyeonggi government office, got rid of the pursuit, and learned that King Wu had raised troops to force the palace.

But the information is also unequal. Jin Wang originally thought that the last time his father killed Han Baishan, he should have cut off some tentacles of Wu Wang, but he did not expect that there were three armies of Zhang Jianying, Beixuan Ying and Nanjun to respond to Wu Wang The order to kill the palace.

In this case, the defense in the palace is likely to be no match for King Wu's forces, and King Jin doesn't know what will happen, so he can only pin his hopes on his father.

What makes King Jin even more sad is that his teacher, Li Mushu, a young teacher who accompanied him from childhood and taught him countless knowledge, failed to survive the assassination and died of an arrow.

Li Mushu had already died when he fled into the area of ​​the Gyeonggi government office and the masters of the various capital government offices rushed out.

"Your Highness, drink some water!"

In the lobby of the government office, a guard brought a bowl of steaming tea, and King Jin, who was sitting next to Li Mushu's corpse, just shook his head.

The man did not flick his tears lightly, but he did not reach the point of sadness. Since he became an adult, the King of Jin could be happy and angry about many things, but the death of Li Mushu made the King of Jin unable to hold back his tears.

"Your Highness, if we try to find a way to hide first, if something happens to the King of Wu, he will definitely not let us go."

"Hiding? Ho..."

When King Jin moved his body, the injury on his body was affected, and he frowned in pain. He looked at the body of the teacher beside him, and then at the loyal guard, and smiled.

"You don't have to hide. This king is still a little arrogant. I'm not that interested in exile. Those who strive to win the world will always be able to afford to lose! If the news from the palace is not good, you can bet me to see the elder brother. "

King Jin also laughed at himself when he said this.

"It's just that I didn't expect that elder brother would choose to do it immediately, without waiting for me to return to the mansion. I thought those veteran officials would be able to persuade him to stay stable for at least two days. It's really fast news and a very determined heart."

When King Jin was speaking in a sad voice, the ghost of Li Mushu was actually standing next to his body, looking at King Jin with arrow wounds and knife wounds with reluctance.

He has already called King Jin several times, but the other party has not responded, presumably because Yin and Yang are separated and cannot see each other.

‘I didn’t expect ghosts to exist after death...’

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a gloomy voice from one side.

"Li Mushu, since you are dead, follow us."

Li Mushu turned around and looked, and found several officials in black robes and high hats standing not far away, their gloomy faces were not alive at first glance.

Even though he was dead, Li Mushu still subconsciously felt afraid.

"You are?"

"I am an officer of the Yin Division under the jurisdiction of the City God of Gyeonggi Prefecture. I have been ordered to take you to the Yin Division! Li Mushu, don't delay, let us go, the affairs of the yang world have nothing to do with you."

Yin Cha had already stepped forward while speaking, and he didn't handcuff Li Mushu, but under the influence of Yin Qi, Li Mushu followed them out involuntarily.

"Wait! Please wait!"

Li Mushu begged the errants to stop, but the errants did not force him to leave. They watched Li Mushu's ghost walk directly opposite the lost King Jin, and bowed deeply.

After Li Mushu accepted the gift, a few errands took him away with him.

They passed through the door, left the Gyeonggi government office, and walked on the streets of the capital late at night.

As the saying goes, the speed of ghosts is the speed of ghosts. At this time, Li Mushu could feel that their speed was much faster than that of ordinary carriages.

"Dare to ask the poor masters, many people died in Gyeonggi Prefecture tonight?"

"Yeah, a lot of people died here, and even more died in the palace."

"Over there in the imperial city, does the messenger know the result?"

Li Mushu asked with concern.

A ecstasy envoy who was in charge of taking him to the underworld looked at him with a sinister smile.

"Forget it, let you be a sensible ghost, and you can rest in peace. Over there in the palace, it is said that King Wu is still on the verge of failure. It is your King Jin who passed the imperial edict."

The ghost Li Mushu lost his mind for a moment, and finally burst out laughing.

"Hahahahahaha...hahaha... I'm going to rest my eyes, I'm going to rest my eyes, thank you so much, hahahahaha..."

Some of the errands on the side also shook their heads, they were dead and they still cared about this.

The soul-sending team was still advancing rapidly, and Li Mushu could even see a large group of ghosts being locked up by some errands in the middle, and he was the only ghost on his side, which was considered a special treatment.

On the way from Fuya to Miaosifang, we had to pass the largest posthouse in Gyeonggi Province. When approaching, Li Mushu found that the direction of the posthouse was different from other places, and there was a bright light, which seemed to form a circle around it Small patches of slightly dim daylight.

When several errants came to this section of the road, they had already detoured far away instead of maintaining a straight line.

"Excuse me, sirs, why is there light in the location of the post house?"

It was still the ecstasy envoy, he looked towards the direction of the post house, and then looked back at Li Mushu.

"Because that's where Duke Yin is!"

Of course, Li Mushu immediately realized who Yin Gong was referring to, but he was a little surprised that Yincha used the honorific name.

"Then why, why..."

"Hehe, everyone in the Yin Division of the Gyeonggi Prefecture knows that Lord Yin, the Lord Yin of the Yang Dynasty, is full of righteousness, and he brings the blessings of all the people, so that evil spirits and spells will not be harmed, and the monsters will not be close to him. He is loved by humanity and admired by ghosts and gods. The Great Confucianists and Great Sages of the age!"

When Yinchai spoke, the respectful tone was obvious.

Hearing the words, Li Mushu looked towards the posthouse with emotion, folded his arms together and bowed over there.

"Yin Gong, with you here, I feel at ease when I leave!"

After this obeisance, Li Mushu had no more worries, and followed the errand to Miaosifang, and walked into the gate of ghosts.

. . .

At the same time, Ji Yuan and his celestial master Du Changsheng were sitting on the bell tower on Yongning Street. During the day, the clock tower would tell the time for the people in the capital, but at night it was the watchman's job, so naturally there was no one on the clock tower.

From nightfall to now, the two have chatted a lot, mostly after the water and land ceremony, how did the old emperor ask a few celestial masters for advice on cultivating immortals, how to let them refine elixir, and some nasty things among the few celestial masters .

Du Changsheng also understood that the really good person he met basically knew everything and did not dare to tell any lies, so he felt that he had gained a little favor from the good person.

"Du Tianshi is considered to be the only one with real skills among the few celestial masters staying in Beijing."

"Don't dare, sir, you know it. How dare I call it my true ability? At best, I'm a little stronger than others."

Ji Yuan smiled, after two or three hours of contact, Du Changsheng had learned a little bit about Du Changsheng's personality, not bad, but also a little clever.

"Ji said that you have real skills, not a lie. For example, your paper man is very interesting, at least Ji has never seen it before."

Du Changsheng suddenly felt that he had face, and said happily.

"It's a small path, I didn't expect to be able to enter Mr. Ji's eyes. This method was researched by my master before his death, and I have improved it a little bit. Although it can't be put on the table, sometimes it can be used to do a little favor or show off. It can be regarded as a sage, although it is just paper, its strength is not small, it is equivalent to an adult strong man!"

"Interesting, but seeing Du Tianshi so nervous about the yellow paper figure, it seems that this method is difficult to achieve?"

Du Changsheng nodded with emotion.

"Exactly, over the past few decades, Du has only refined six yellow paper figurines. Two of them have been damaged after many years of use. Now that he has no energy, it may be difficult to make up for losing one."

Ji Yuan looked at him, and finally said what was on his mind.

"Tianshi Du probably doesn't have an orthodox method of practicing Qi. I don't know if Ji will exchange this self-developed method with you with a Qi training formula. Can the Tianshi give up his love?"

Du Changsheng's eyes widened subconsciously, and he looked at Ji Yuan.

"Zheng, the orthodox qi training art? Can transform yin and yang, divide five elements, and refer to the Dao of Longevity?"

"Longevity is not that easy. It can't be achieved by practicing Qi Jue, but it is definitely better than what Tianshi Du practiced. It is indeed too rough for Tianshi to directly enter meditation and visualize the heart fire to extract mana. You have to practice it. Qi Jue can at least achieve the Golden Bridge Pill Furnace of Inner Heaven and Earth..."

"Master!"

With a loud cry, Du Changsheng stood up and knelt down to Ji Yuan.

This voice directly startled Ji Yuan.

"Heavenly Master Du, why is this? Hurry up and invite me, Ji won't deserve this great gift."

"If you want to pass on my authentic immortal law, Du Changsheng will of course have to perform the master-student ceremony. Otherwise, it is not enough to show respect. Master, please be an apprentice... woo... woo..."

Du Changsheng suddenly found that he couldn't speak the next words, he couldn't open his mouth at all, and his tongue turned left and right in his mouth, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Ji Yuan rubbed his forehead.

"Farewell to Heavenly Master Du, I can't bear this great gift, why don't I let it go?"

In a hurry, Du Changsheng took out a book from his pocket and placed it in front of him, kowtowed on the ground, making the corners of Ji Yuan's mouth twitch.

"He's also a wonderful person. How about it? If you feel that this time is a loss, Ji will pass on the perfected method to you in the future, so don't mention the gift of master and apprentice again..."

Du Changsheng put it away when he saw it, and nodded quickly, but when he looked up, there was no one in front of him, and the book he put in front of him also disappeared, but there was an extra thread-bound book in the place where the book was placed.

There are only two words on the title of the book on the front, called "Xiao Lian". When you open the page, the text inside is very delicate and beautiful, and there is even a continuous stream of Dao Yun. After reading it for a while, Du Changsheng was attracted. In a trance, he seemed to be able to feel the passing of the spirit, but it only lasted for a while, and he couldn't concentrate because of mental exhaustion.

But under the excitement, Du Changsheng will try again immediately after resting for a while to recover a little energy.

The sky is also slowly brightening during this period...

Ding Haiqiu, on September 23rd, King Dazhen Wu failed to rebel against him and was finally captured, and his younger brother, King Jin, was granted the position of crown prince.

On the morning of September 24th, King Wu, who was clean and unscathed, knelt in the court hall with shackles, and King Jin, who was wounded in several places and had not even had time to change his bloody clothes, stood in the same hall.

In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the great eunuch Li Sizhe read out the imperial edict again aloud in front of the imperial court.

After this incident, there are no dissatisfied people inside and outside the court and the public.
