Gu Yuanbai spent a day with Mrs. Wan, and Xue Yuan was honest for the rest of the day. When he went back, Gu Yuanbai halfway threw Xue Yuan on the streets of the capital, his tone hard: "You loose value."
Xue Yuan, who had been thrown off, drove his horse and paced in place for a while before driving his horse towards his back and heading towards the jade store that had been there before straight ahead.
When he arrived, the owner of the jade store still remembered him and greeted him with a warm smile, "Sir, is the jade piece you bought last time working well?"
Xue Yuan gave him a strange look, "What do you do with it?"
Xue Yuan bought that thing, just a moment of dizziness. After buying back, this thing and he can not use, the whole body transparent or white jade, not good. He casually threw in the room, never moved, spent money for nothing.
The jade store owner smiled awkwardly and mentally belabored, "Then what did the official want to come and see today?"
Xue Yuan lifted his eyelids and glanced around the store, his eyes fixed on a jadeite jade trigger.
When Gu Yuanbai went back, he had someone go and call Chu Wei over.
Chu Wei is busy with the news sent back from all over the world by the officials of the Imperial Palace, and after hearing the call of the saint, he immediately put down the things at hand and went into the palace.
These days, the imperial court is very busy, the capital's first beauty is also a bit haggard, but haggard is also handsome. Chu Wei bent down towards the saint and saluted, "All is well with the saint."
Gu Yuanbai said, "Chu Qing should be very busy recently?"
Chu Wei honestly said, "It's busy, but extraordinarily fulfilling."
Gu Yuanbai pondered for a moment and opened his mouth, "I have one more thing to hand over to Chu Qing to do."
Chu Wei did not hesitate to say, "Please also command Your Majesty."
"You go with Xue Yuan Tong to assist Zhang, they have a lot of preparations to make, but there are no court officials around, it's still a bit of a hassle to do things," Gu Yuanbai this pulling the red thread pulling painstakingly and exhaustively, "the two of you, one civil and one military, just complement each other."
Gu Yuanbai was on the verge of saying it explicitly by all implication.
Today, even if Xue Yuan is really loyal to the heart of the king and worried about him getting hurt before picking his pants. But Gu Yuanbai, who had never been pants-picked by the same sex in his two lifetimes up and down the line, felt that it would be better to hurry up and set up an official match.
Xue Yuan to pickpocket on Chu Wei, want to pickpocket how to pickpocket, the best pickpocket to know that pickpocket pants such a thing can only be done to Chu Wei, so that it is good.
Chu Wei's face stiffened, and he casually hooked up a cold and mockery-laden smile, saying, "Your Majesty, I will do this properly with Lord Xue."
Originally these days Chu Wei busy did not return to the Hanlin Academy, there is some concern that Xue Yuan stayed at the side of the saint will not plot against him, now it is just right.
Perhaps we can use this opportunity to find evidence that Xue Yuan has ill intentions towards His Majesty.
Eyes downcast and calm.
We must find a chance to make His Majesty loathe Xue Yuan.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from the capital, a place in the south of Jinghu Lake.
Clad in prison clothes and handcuffed and chained, the prisoners looked empty, and they were on top of the prison wagon, being taken to the base camp where the remnants of Lu Feng had fled.
These people are some days ago Gu Yuanbai in the capital dug out of the scouts, most of them are the name of the family servants of the minister's house, in the house although not the master of the day, but also than this time to be a hundred times better. This way over, although they are on top of the prison car, but also tortured, several of them can not stand the humiliation of the women, several times want to bite their tongues.
But in the end, they were sent one by one, no less, here in Jinghu South.
The officials had placed the men here in the south of Jinghu, and naturally someone would pick these men up and fulfill their remaining role.
The stronghold of the remnants of the Lu Feng faction in Jinghu South.
Lu Feng remnants of the Ministry, large and small from the capital escaped from the people have more than a hundred people or so. Among them, although Lu Feng died, his disciples students but a lot of desperately avoided the emperor's scythe, all the way with the army to lead the troops rate of escape lieutenant Xu Xiongyuan fled to the Jinghu South.
Jinghu South has intricate forces and chaotic folkways, the local magnates here break the law and commit crimes, even killing people and controlling the government, thousands of lands have been annexed by them, forming a huge black force, such a chaotic place is just suitable for the rebel army to grow in the dark.
The Lu Feng remnants thought that although the emperor at that time had shown his thunderbolt, but the forces had not yet been reshuffled, so they did not have the ability to catch up with them, and when the emperor had the ability now, but they did not know exactly where they had ambushed them.
And secretly, they named themselves the Koshin Society one.
The word "Jiashen" is taken from the harmonic characters of the words "驾" and "升" in the words "星驾" and "升霞", which mean the death of the Son of Heaven, and the malice of which can be seen in the words.
Now, within the lobby, more than twenty important figures of the Lu Feng Sect were gathered here, discussing the very matter of the recent lack of money and food in the Society.
Xu Xiongyuan took five thousand soldiers with him when he defected, and these soldiers, together with more than a hundred people who would only eat idle food and had never worked on the ground, were about to squander the mountains of gold and silver that they had brought with them from the capital.
They'd pretty much used up what Lu Feng had left for them.
There were sounds of controversy in the lobby. Xu Xiongyuan was currently the leader of the A-Shen Society, he had soldiers in his hands and everyone else had to listen to him. There were a few rather smart disciples among them that had been used by him as general military advisors.
One of the military divisions was in the midst of talking about the greatness of the world, when he saw a loud noise coming from outside. The group turned around to see that it was Xu Xiongyuan's usual trusted military advisor, Zhao Zhou, who had led a person in.
Xu Xiongyuan frowned and asked in a loud voice, "Mr. Zhao, who is this?"
Xu Xiongyuan's original name was Xu Xiongzhi, and after he defected, he changed his final character to Gu Yuanbai's Yuan because of his ambition.
Zhao Zhou smiled and brought the person to Xu Xiong Yuan, saying, "General, this is my friend, a native of Jiankang in Jiangnan, named Liu Yan."
Liu Yan has an ordinary appearance, but looks very elegant, a look of cultured people. He slightly bowed towards Xu Xiong Yuan and smiled, "I admire General's great name from afar, and when I see it like this, I know what it means to be a hero in the world."
Xu Xiongyuan knew that the military master would not introduce himself to a useless person, so he threw back his head and laughed, "Shame, shame, shame, I wonder what is the reason why young friend Liu has come to find me nowadays?"
Liu Yan's expression changed and he forced himself to hold back his grief and hatred, "It's all because of that current emperor who pushed me to the point where I had to seek the general's help!"
Xu Xiong Yuan could not help but look towards Zhao Zhou, and the military commander smiled faintly and nodded towards him in a slightly unseen manner. Xu Xiong Yuan's heart was delighted, but he also pretended to be surprised and said, "What did that dog emperor do again?!"
Liu Yan lowered his head, "The small man's family is in business, and still has a few minutes of free money. Weekdays with those yamen in the official dealings are also close, now the emperor began to anti-corruption, even indiscriminately my family sentenced, said we are collusion between the government and business, are killed and jailed for the big crime, the villain has no choice but to take the family fortune to escape."
Xu Xiongyuan asked again, "What about your parents and family?"
"They have not escaped," Liu Yan's voice had choked, "they have all been, they have all been--"
Zhao Zhou's gentle voice picked up, "It was all caused by the current emperor."
Liu Yan stifled his tears and nodded his head uncontrollably.
Xu Xiongyuan all but barely suppressed a laugh.
Hahahahaha, look at that, look at that, the sky favors him, Mr. Xu!
The food money in the meeting did not have, this came up a send money to send food, Xu Xiongyuan heart is very happy, he pretended to comfort Liu Yan, and so Liu Yan formally joined the A Shen will be, looking at the back of the car transported in a carload of gold and silver and big bags of grain, no longer open their eyes.
Liu Yan stood behind the crowd, the shadows in the hall hitting his face, many, many people had already gotten together next to the cartloads of wealth, no one cared about him.
Liu Yan raised his head, the sadness on his face was gone as he looked around him and surveyed the entire stronghold of the Anti-Faction Army.
This is the Koshienkai.
It's the Holy Spirit who wants it to step on the powerful Koshienkai ah.
That's a terrible name, thought Liu Yan.
But he would seriously stay here and use this cartload of grain and gold and silver given to him by His Holiness to exchange for a position to walk beside Xu Xiong Yuan.
After spending so much money and gold and silver, how can you get a position that speaks for itself?
In the middle of the capital, the two lords who were on an errand.
Xue Yuan and Chu Wei stood in front of Zhang, both of them expressionless, waiting for the time to arrive, and Zhang clan chiefs polite two sentences, then immediately each towards their respective horses.
Although Chu Wei knew that a normal person would not do something that would threaten the life of a court official in public, Xue Yuan was not a normal person. Therefore, he specially instructed to have the people in his residence send a strong and sturdy boy to drive the horse for him, and before getting on the carriage, Xue Yuan drove the horse past him.
Grand Duke Xue's voice sank, "Lord Chu, a word of advice."
His voice lowered, oozing, "Don't mess with the wrong people."
The corner of Chu Wei's mouth hooked up coldly, "I would also advise Lord Xue not to think about people who shouldn't be thought about."
Xue Yuan pulled up his lips and glanced at him, a gloomy light sinking into his eyes as he finally drove his horse away.
The dust raised by the horses' hooves choked Chu Wei, who covered his mouth and nose.
Chu Wei stood still.
That look in Xue Yuan's eyes gave Chu Wei the feeling that he had just really wanted to kill him.
Those who floated and sank in the battlefield had a fierce and murderous aura so strong that it was impossible to ignore. If this is not on the street ......
Chu Wei let out a breath and turned around to get into the carriage.
This man is too dangerous, how can he stay by the side of His Majesty?
Xue Yuan returned to the mansion and spent an entire hour in the martial arts training ground before suppressing the murderous intent that was flourishing in his heart. When he came out of the martial arts training ground, he was soaked to the skin, and he strided towards the bathing room with an expressionless face.
The boy behind him jogged with difficulty to keep up, "Grand Duke, the Second Duke said he wanted to see you."
Xue Yuan wrapped his fury around him and said, "Let him crawl to the edge of the pool and fall off and get up again, then come back and talk to me again."
The boy's footsteps stopped and he ran towards Second Duke Xue's room with a trembling tone, "Yes, yes, I'll let Second Duke do as he says."
Xue Yuan expressionless all the way to the room, next to the bath room has been prepared water. He took his clean coat and walked into the bath room, the door of the room "bam", by the strength of his hand slammed clanking.
I didn't see Gu Yuanbai for a whole day.
One day.
Xue Yuan's eyes were fucking suffocating red blood.
Xue Yuan is a brown man, he is not concerned about the temperature of the water, and he does not love to take a slow bath. He directly took the water and poured it from his head to his body, and the more he poured, the more his face darkened and sank, and his mind flashed Gu Yuanbai's face for a while, and Chu Wei's face for a while.
For a moment there was a surprising flash of both of their faces smiling at each other!
Xue Yuan wrapped his arms around his head and poured a spoonful of cold water on himself.
The water clattered on the floor, Xue Yuan's expression condensed as he took a look along with the water flow, but his afterglow suddenly glanced at a small white spot under the corner cabinet.
His eyelids snapped open, and he stepped forward to step over the stream of water and bent to pick it up; it was a white handkerchief.
The handkerchief was stained and dirty, as if it had been trodden on by footprints.
