In the 30th year of Kaiyuan, the emperor personally led the army to attack the ancient Khan, and suffered a tragic defeat, killing 300,000 soldiers, shocking the Dajing Dynasty, the atmosphere in the capital was even more tense, and the officials were all in danger, just because the emperor was old. , Hearing that after his defeat, his blood and blood attacked his heart, they were afraid that the emperor would die, and at this time the prince had not moved to the East Palace.

This year, little King Wei and Ping An are one year old.

In the courtyard, Jiang Changsheng was meditating under the tree. The Earth Spirit Tree was already 10 feet tall, but the leaves were not lush enough. Now it can only generate a weak spiritual energy, but it was also a good sign.

Not far away, Xiao Ping'an rode around on a white dragon, Qing Ku chased him and played games.

Although Xiao Ping'an was born with a lack of intelligence and intelligence, his talent in muscles and bones is indeed incredible. At one year old, he already has the strength of a four or five-year-old child. He can run and jump.

A figure walked quickly from outside the courtyard. It was Chen Li, with a worried expression on his face, he came to Jiang Changsheng and said in a low voice, "Changsheng, something bad happened, the second prince is missing."

Jiang Changsheng didn't open his eyes and said, "If you disappear, you will disappear. Didn't your Chen family join the Seventh Prince?"

Chen Li said: "The second prince is missing, and the Hong family is afraid that they will rebel. It just so happens that His Majesty has suffered a defeat in the north. When the capital rebels, the situation will be in danger."

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes.

Jiang Yuan's life before the age of sixty was absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately, he was in power for too long. When he was old, he personally led the army and suffered a big defeat. His prestige in the hearts of the people was greatly reduced, and even civil and military officials treated him. Don't be so afraid anymore, if the Hong family rebels at this time, even if it doesn't succeed, Dajing will be severely damaged.

The Hong family's army was stationed outside the capital to guard the capital, but now it has become a threat.

Jiang Changsheng said helplessly: "If the Hong family wants to rebel, what's the use of telling me?"

Chen Lidao: "Naturally, it is to remind you that once there is chaos, how do you Longqiguan protect yourself? In recent days, hurry up and stock up on food. Even if the Hong family does not target Longqiguan, if there is chaos in the city, Longqiguan will definitely be isolated, because on the mountain It is very suitable for Tibetans."

Jiang Changsheng nodded and said, "I see."

Chen Li sat down without worrying about Qing Ku being next to him. After all, they were also acquaintances, and Jiang Changsheng had been in friendship with him for 18 years.

Eighteen years later, Chen Li is no longer a high-spirited champion, and now he has entered middle age.

Before you know it, time flies by so fast.

Jiang Changsheng looked at Chen Li's vicissitudes of life and sighed in his heart.

Not only Chen Li, but also the older disciples in Guan Nei gradually entered middle age, including the elder sister Meng Qiushuang.

Jiang Changsheng made a total of three Zhuyan Pills, one to take by himself, one to be given to the queen by the emperor, and the remaining one for Hua Jianxin to take. No matter what, Hua Jianxin gave birth to a child for him, which is considered to be His wife, of course, has a preference.

He didn't want to interfere in the life, old age, sickness and death of others, but his youth gradually made his disciples have higher respect for him.

The priest is really righteous.

Chen Lidao: "The prince has the help of the Yang family, has two provincial and two ministers, and has a very high voice in the court, but it is a pity that he has no military power, and his masters are not as good as the seventh prince. I suddenly feel that your majesty is deliberately leaving. Beijing, let the prince and the second prince fight, how can the second prince fight the prince, wait for the second prince to die, the Hong family will rebel, vow to kill the prince, when the prince dies, the seventh prince can justifiably attack the Hong family, and then stand Great achievement, the heart of the emperor is really terrifying."

Jiang Changsheng felt that it made sense, and it was indeed very possible. Anyway, he knew that the prince was mortal.

After knowing the fate of the prince, Jiang Changsheng's hatred for him disappeared, and he didn't even pay attention to him. Speaking of which, the prince was also a pitiful person, and he was at the mercy of others when he was born. When the Yang family knew the truth, the prince was really helpless. , abandoned by the whole world.

Jiang Changsheng opened his mouth and said, "Tell me about the affairs of the rivers and lakes."

Hua Jianxin guarded the little King Wei day and night, and occasionally told Jiang Changsheng about the affairs of the court, so Jiang Changsheng didn't care.

Jiang Changsheng's only concern for Chaotang was that King Wei ascended to the throne, but he was still young and far away from ascending the throne. Before that, as long as the scene did not die, King Wei would be fine. The goal is to practice.

Chen Li shook his head and said, "I don't have time to pay attention to the rivers and lakes now, oh, by the way, do you still remember your senior brother Li Changqing?"

Jiang Changsheng nodded and said, "Naturally remember."

Li Changqing betrayed Longqiguan when he was young, and because of this, the Taoist Qingxu was deeply poisoned by the devil's door.

Chen Li sighed endlessly: "He entered the devil's door for a woman. Last year, the woman died, and he went crazy. Now he kills anyone he sees in the rivers and lakes. He is famous for his murder. Eighteen sects are joining forces to hunt him down. I won't live long."

Jiang Changsheng was silent.

Chen Li said with relief: "Don't think too much, that's the path he chose, so don't get involved. With the combined efforts of the eighteen sects, even the supreme martial arts might not be able to retreat completely."

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you are overthinking it, and I won't go down the mountain."

Chen Li smiled and then talked about other things.

What happened to Li Changqing really made Jiang Changsheng feel waves, after all, he was an old acquaintance.

He thought of Daoist Qingxu again, and he didn't know where the master went.

…

Half a year later, Chen Li guessed right, the Hong family turned out to be a mutiny, and the general Hong Lie broke into the capital with 100,000 iron cavalry, and went straight to the palace.

The sound of fighting reverberated in the capital.

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes, sighed, and got up.

Can't let go after all.

Jiang Changsheng told Bailong a few words and turned into a sparrow and flew to the palace.

At the same time, in the palace, the iron cavalry was standing and horizontal, and the maids and eunuchs were all kneeling on the ground, shivering.

Wearing heavy black armor, Hong Lie rode on a sturdy black horse and moved forward slowly. He held a large sword in one hand, and his eyes were fierce.

"Block the palace and find the prince!"

A general raised a knife and roared, and the soldiers took the order and began to look for it.

A concubine ran over and came to Hong Lie's side, crying, "Brother, you want to avenge tomorrow!"

Hong Lie glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, sister, the prince will die today."

The concubine wiped her tears and asked, "Where is tomorrow, have you sent someone to investigate?"

Hong Lie said: "My soldiers found a corpse outside the city. It belongs to tomorrow. Big brother can't bear to tell you."

Hearing this, the concubine slumped on the ground as if struck by lightning.

Hong Lie shook his head, reined his horse forward, his face became rebellious, his eyes fixed on the golden palace in the distance, and he muttered: "Brother Jiang, you have been sitting in this country for 30 years, and it is my brother's turn. Sit down."

On the other side, in the Queen's bedroom.

Crown Prince Jiang Gan sat at the table with disheveled hair, extremely decadent.

The Empress walked in from outside the door, closed the door, and said, "No, Hong Lie has already rushed in, and this palace cannot ask the Yang family for help."

Jiang Gan smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, how could the Yang family not hear Hong Lie's big movement? Before the second brother disappeared, I realized that the attitude of the Yang family was not right, and the attitude of my uncles towards me was not as eager as before. ,even…"

Even a little disgusted!

Jiang Gan didn't say this sentence, he was puzzled. In his opinion, all the officials might turn their backs on him, but the Yang family should not.

The Empress frowned and said, "Did you really kill your second brother?"

When Jiang Gan heard this, he immediately became anxious and gritted his teeth: "How could it be possible! The reason for my fight with my second brother is that he wants to fight with me. Empress mother, for so many years, I haven't endured and endured again and again? Why endure, is it not just thinking of my brother? Family? I never thought of killing my second brother, even if I am killed by my second brother, I can't kill my own brothers!"

Although he is a prince, from childhood to adulthood, the attitude of the emperor and the queen to him is always hot and cold, which causes him to cherish the brotherhood, because when he was a child, his younger brothers needed him and respected him. He always wanted to protect his younger brothers, otherwise. The battle between him and the second prince could not last for years.

He is the crown prince, he holds the power of the court, how easy it is to deal with the second prince!

He could even ask the emperor to send Jiang Ming to the frontier.

The Empress sighed, her eyes on Jiang Gan were extremely complicated.

Jiang Gan was in panic, fear, and anger at the moment, and didn't notice her eyes.

The sound of horses' hooves and footsteps came from outside the hall, and if you listened to the sound, you could tell that a large number of soldiers were coming.

"Your fourth brother went to war with your father, otherwise, with him and Zong Tianwu, you could still be saved." The empress said helplessly.

Jiang Gan gritted his teeth, stood up, and said, "Mother, please don't come out. If I go out alone, the big deal is death. I, Jiang Jiaerlang, are afraid of life and death!"

After saying that, he walked to the gate without hesitation, pushed it open, and walked out. The courtyard outside was full of dark soldiers, and Hong Lie was riding on the corridor outside the courtyard, looking at him from a distance.

Jiang Gan took a deep breath, tidied up his hair, stepped forward, and said loudly: "General Hong, if you don't believe that the second brother was not harmed by this Highness, then His Highness has nothing to say, if you want to kill or cut, Listen to your honor, when my father and fourth brother come back, you will also not be able to escape a word of death."

The soldiers were silent and did not leave immediately, waiting for General Hong to speak.

Jiang Gan followed: "General Hong, even if the second brother is really dead, what's the use of you being so angry? You are buried with the Lahong family, and the Hong family has only one prince to rely on!"

Hong Lie leaned forward and smiled contemptuously: "Since there is no prince to rely on, then the general will wear the imperial robe. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"

"you…"

Jiang Gan's eyes widened~lightnovelpub.net~ trembling with anger, he suddenly became enlightened.

Could it be that Jiang Ming's disappearance has something to do with Hong Lie?

The soldiers laughed and shouted long live Emperor Hong.

Jiang Gan was extremely angry and rushed towards Hong Lie. He had never practiced martial arts, and was like a scholar.

Jiang Gan's mouth was full of blood, staring at the soldier in front of him, no fear, only anger in his eyes.

"Presumptuous! Hong Lie, do you really not reminisce about your old love?"

The voice of the Empress came, her words were cold, and she only heard her walk out of the palace.

Hong Lie laughed loudly and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect that after decades, you are still beautiful, and I don't know what precious treasures your Majesty has fed you. I have come this far, do you think I still have a way out? "

"Come here, capture the queen for me, and **** me to this general... Zhen's palace, hahaha!"

Hong Lie laughed wildly, and even changed his name to "Zhen", he was already crazy, because in his opinion, the throne was right in front of him.

The soldiers stepped forward immediately, Jiang Gan raised his hand and cursed: "Hong Lie, you are not human! You must die!"

The soldier who pressed him immediately cut his throat. He covered his throat with his hands, unable to speak, and the blood was pouring out, and he couldn't stop it at all.

The empress was so frightened that her face turned pale, she stepped back one after another, and leaned against the door.

At this moment, a voice fell softly:

"A dog in Dajing also wants to be added to the emperor's robe? Arrogant, I don't know how high the sky is, today, you will die miserably."

Everyone looked up and saw a figure appearing on the eaves of the queen's bedroom at an unknown time. This person was wearing a worn black Taoist robe, a wooden mask on his face, and no weapons in his hands. An extremely dangerous feeling.
