Xuande twenty-one years, in July.

Qianjing has had plenty of rain this year. It has been raining for several days in a row. Due to the muddy road, there are many fewer pedestrians.

The people of the Qi Dynasty regarded black gold as a symbol of power, and the royal family was even more willing to wear black robes, but the prince himself only wore white robes on weekdays, which added to the clearness.

"Father, slow down"

The **** Tokugawa bowed and followed behind the man, and with a creak, the black mansion gate lined with nine gold and bronze beads closed.

With an umbrella in his hand, he immediately followed the man with small steps.

I was thinking of holding an umbrella for the man, but the man turned around after taking the bamboo umbrella.

Tokugawa watched the tall and tall figure go farther and farther, and hurriedly gestured towards a few blue-clothed guards behind him.

"Follow up"

A few guards followed after realizing it, but they didn't dare to get too close to the master in front of them. They kept a few meters away and followed closely behind.

After the prince took charge of government affairs three years ago, he moved out of the palace independently and formed his own government affairs team.

Since then, the court has been cleaned up a lot, and people's livelihood has improved. It is very similar to the prelude to the prosperous era of Emperor Tang's opening of Zhenguan.

But the main lord himself didn't say anything about this, and he still went to the political council every day to do his best to rule, and by the way, he solved a few courtiers who were causing trouble in the court, and occasionally played a chess game with Xiao Yi, the commander of Jinyiwei.

Seeing the rain getting heavy again, Tokugawa put his hands in his sleeves, and told the female official who followed behind him, "Send a few more people to serve in the Political Council, and burn the dragon on the ground."

The Crown Prince was known to suffer from cold symptoms, and everyone in Ganjing knew that this arrangement was reasonable.

Tokugawa took the whisk presented by his apprentice and entered the Prince's Mansion.

The female official looked up at the plaque of "Prince Prince's Mansion", and went in after a while.

. …

In the political assembly hall, strands of incense rose from the filigree porcelain furnace, circled, lifted into the sky, and slowly dissipated until the wellhead ceiling painted with golden dragon patterns. There were only a few tables and chairs in the hall. , Even the maids are pitiful and empty.

Sitting and standing in the hall, Huo Shijun was discussing matters with the prince.

"Then the head of the Xie family has already arrived in the capital, and just sent the letter to the mansion."

Qi Liangye put down the booklet at hand, picked up the cold tea cup beside him, and drank it lightly.

The man's eyebrows are stern, his facial features are grand and delicate, and there is an unspeakable extravagance hidden in his every move.

Huo Shijun is known as the world's first strategist.

He was five or six years older than the prince, and it was the moment when he was ambitious and high-spirited. He often wore a scholar's coat and held a certain book of scriptures and history in his hand, and read it whenever he had free time.

He appeared dressed in black and leaned slightly to the side to ask. His face was also handsome and tough, and his temperament was loose, and he could see it at a glance in the crowd.

Qi Liangye raised his eyes slightly when he heard that, and gently opened his lips:

"It is rumored that the Patriarch of the Xie family holds the Jianghu Lord's decree and can mobilize the Jianghu forces at will. Although he has already received my Qilin badge, it is still unknown whether this person can use it."

In the past few days, the two rulers and ministers have been discussing the matter of the Xie family's patriarch, but when he entered the capital, they did not notice it in advance. On the one hand, it can be said that this patriarch is very capable.

.

The rain was still falling outside the hall, and the rainwater in front of the door accumulated into a small stream and slowly drained into the ground along the ditch. The light rain was like a pearl dripping on the ground, crisp and pleasant.

Huo Shijun glanced at the sky outside, the rain made him feel uncomfortable, and he always felt that one after another of icy machine fronts were digging into his body, and the coolness was penetrating.

"Om-"

There was a very small buzzing sound suddenly in the rain, Huo Shijun didn't realize it, and was still looking at the sky, but Qi Liangye's hand holding the tea cup froze.

"boom!"

Several shadows suddenly smashed from the eaves to the ground, and fell down like a dead fish.

Huo Shijun hadn't realized how many people were dead, but his instinct had made him shout loudly, "Escort!"

But the hall was empty, and none of the guards seemed to hear the sound.

The man in the main seat paused for a second, and continued to drink tea in a second, but Huo Shijun had a thorn all over his body, tightly protecting Qi Liangye.

But still no sound, still-

It was terribly silent, as if a needle could be heard falling.

Huo Shijun even breathed a little lighter, his eyes were fixed on the black clothes in front of the hall.

These people are obviously the assassins who were sent to assassinate the Crown Prince, but now they have been wiped cleanly on their necks, what is going on?

"Mr. Huo, step back."

Huo Shijun frowned, but obediently put away his defensive posture and stood behind the lord again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

It was another sound of heavy objects hitting the ground several times in a row. The sound was dull and dense, but in the next half an hour, it sometimes stopped, and sometimes it was like beating a drum.

When Qi Liangye heard this voice, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

In the next second, an extremely clear female voice resounded in the air—

"There are too many dark whistles staring at the political assembly hall, why do you keep them there!"

This female voice had a bit of a complaint, and it overlapped with the white figure fluttering from the eaves.

The woman was dressed in capable white shorts and white trousers, and her black hair was neatly braided. Before Huo Shijun could react, she entered the hall.

When he looked again, his eyes were straight.

As the woman walked, the white clothes were elegant and silent, and the short scar of the bird's tail feather between the eyebrows was firmly engraved on her face. Her eyes were cold and sharp, like an unsheathed sword.

"It took me some effort to go to Beijing today. Wang Yue's people chased and blocked me along the way. They wanted me to die ten times and eight times, so I didn't come here early."

"Presumably this is the number one strategist in the world, Mr. Huo?"

"I am the daughter of Xie Guogong of Saibei, Xie Yu, the current head of the Xie family, I came here on the order of the prince, and I met for the first time. Please advise me a lot."

The woman bowed slightly, and Huo Shijun returned the salute.

The white fingertips had a thin layer of yellow calluses. She took a token from her waist with her fingers, strode forward, and handed it to the man sitting in the main seat.

The token was made of brown wood in a circular shape, with a knife engraved on it.

The token also carried the enthusiasm around her waist. Qi Liangye had been looking at her from the moment she entered the hall, and now she could not help but turn her attention to this token.

"Has the prince heard of the Shadow Tower?"

Qi Liangye rubbed the token before speaking.

"Jianghu Shadow Building has publicly stated that it has invested in Wang Yue's command."

"good."

Xie Yu crossed her chest with both hands, raised her eyebrows and continued:

"The Shadow Tower only took over the grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes in the past few years, but in the past two years, it has been with the court and has been hated by the rivers and lakes. I plan to have a good deal with the old man Wang Yue to see if his Shadow Tower is empty first, or if I'll die first."

This is quite arrogant.

Wang Yue, a court official, has minions all over the world, and has a deep foundation, which is quite disadvantageous to the court and the royal family. Three years ago, since the emperor fell into a coma and Qi Liangye took charge of the East Palace, although the government was clear and bright, there has been a great improvement. , but for Wang Yue, it was painless.

In order to clear Wang Yue's cancer, Qi Liangye thought of many strategies, but most of Wang Yue's men were all strategists.

Therefore, Qi Liangye thought of asking the Xie family, who also has the power of Jianghu, to come out.

Two and a half months ago, Qi Liangye sent the token Qilin Zhang to the Xie family to show the sincerity of asking the Xie family to come out.

That's why Xie Yu traveled thousands of miles to the capital just to assist Qi Liangye.

But along the way, I don't know who leaked the news. Wang Yue seems to have known the identity of her Xie family's family head. All the way, they chased and blocked them. Wang Yue's people.

When Xie Yu was twenty years old, she had never experienced this kind of suffocation, but she wanted to meet the prince as soon as possible, and she was outnumbered by herself, so she could only flee overnight, and it took two months to reach the capital.

When Huo Shijun heard her words, he immediately thought that she had killed so many assassins in silence just now, and looked at the woman with respect in his eyes.

Qi Liangye smiled slightly, "Master Xie is domineering."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Liangye in the seat slowly raised his head, and Xie Yu's expression was also stunned, as if he had noticed something, "Mr. Huo, why don't you hide for a while?"

"Boom—"

The cold sword energy was like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole and attacked from behind, Xie Yu's expression remained unchanged.

The woman's right leg was wrapped in deep internal force, then turned around and hacked the person's back. The assassin wanted to sneak up on her back. Unexpectedly, the woman's reaction was too fast and he directly spun him into the hall, and the assassin lay on the ground in embarrassment.

In the flash of light and flint, Huo Shijun couldn't even see Xie Yu's movements, he subconsciously stepped back, but caught a glimpse of Qi Liangye beside him still drinking tea lightly, without even a glance at the two fighting in the field.

As soon as the assassin gritted his teeth, the sword in his hand had not slackened, but because of Xie Yu just now, the inner strength in his hand was poured back into his meridians without sending it out, and his inner breath was confused for a moment.

But he still rushed forward with his hands and feet.

Xie Yu frowned, seeing that he actually wanted to enter the hall to assassinate Qi Liangye, a powerful internal force erupted from his dantian, and the assassin was stunned.

In the hall, Qi Liangye's case seemed to be blown by a strong wind, so she cast an apologetic look.

When Qi Liangye received that look, he wanted to say something, but when he heard a "push", the bright red blood stained the woman's white arrow sleeves. She had a smile on her lips, but she still didn't take it back, but her hand was beside the assassin's neck. Walked around.

Huo Shijun's eyes shrank, only to feel that the hall was so silent, so quiet that he could hear his heartbeat "thumping" clearly.
