Chapter 17 Entering the Thousand Palace

The monarch of the imperial country is already the ninth generation. He has been at war with the State of Chu for many years, and it has been more than ten years since the two countries declared a truce. After more than ten years of rest and recuperation, Kyoto has gradually become prosperous, and every family is full of strong and beautiful red bricks and black tiles. The long street is more than ten feet wide, and five or six carriages can travel in parallel. There were merchants on the street twice, and the business was booming.

In the southeast of Kyoto, there is also a recently newly built Qianwang Mansion, covering an area of 100 mu and the terrain is open. A pair of stone lions at the door are more than two people tall, and the vermilion gate is said to have been painted nine floors. There are two big men standing at the door all year round. They are tall and strong, and they are obviously mountain people.

The name of the ninth-generation monarch of the imperial kingdom was Wudu. Three months ago, Emperor Wudu didn't know where he heard the news. He said that the State of Chu was recruiting troops and wanted to start a war with the imperial country again. He was cautious by nature. In order to be perfect, he ordered General Longwei Shankun to rush to Kyoto from Qianwang City in advance - in order to cover people's ears and eyes, he sent people to spread false rumors. It is said that it is about the prince's succession to the throne.

Shan Kun is the only king with a different surname in the imperial kingdom, and he is also a general of the imperial kingdom. In those years, he made great contributions to defeat the great Chu state. This time, he came to Kyoto by edict. Emperor Wudu personally ordered to build a mansion for him, and all the expenses would be reimbursed by the treasury.

General Longwei Shankun is a prominent figure in the imperial country.

More than ten thousand people under one person. It is valued by the emperor and loved by the people.

At this moment, in the Qianwang Mansion in Kyoto, Shan Kun is leisurely holding a book in his study and reading carefully.

A gust of breeze pushed the door open, and the door closed by itself, as if an invisible big hand was pushing it.

Shan Kun suddenly said, "Are you here?"

A wooden man stood behind him with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in purple and said with a smile, "I'm coming! Your guard in Kyoto Prefecture is not as good as the Forbidden City. No one noticed that I came in so carelessly.

Shan Kun said, "These are also the children of the Shan nationality that I just transferred from the Forbidden King City. The original guard kung fu is even worse. I'm afraid that it's safest for some people to be replaced by myself. I don't want to be surrounded by other people's eyes."

Wooden man said: "Is Mo Hanzhong still restless now? What does the emperor think? Which side is he standing on?

In his mouth, Mo Hanzhong is the prime minister of the imperial country. On the issue of prince's inheritance, Mo Hanzhong is neither a member of the crown prince nor supports the fourth prince's birthday, but supports his grandson, named Junshan, who was born to his daughter, Concubine Jin, who is only 11 years old and is the youngest of the three princes. However, now that the prince is dead, Junshan has become the only competitor for the fourth prince to celebrate his birthday.

Shan Kun said, "Do you want Mohan to be at peace? Unless he dies, the old emperor will still not change at all. He will play with the emperor's power. He wants me and Mo Hanzhong and even the nine-tailed fox to suppress each other and stabilize the government and even the world of cultivation. I haven't been going to court for many days, and I don't bother to go. Anyway, the prince is dead, and I don't want to get in with this matter of taking the throne anymore!"

The wooden-faced man smiled and said, "My good prince, you still have the ability, so old man Mo doesn't dare to play like this. But I have some bad news. Do you want to hear it?

Shan Kun said, "Bad news? Don't listen!" He still looked at the scroll in his hand and didn't raise his head.

The wooden man said to himself, "The prince died under the 'heavenly punishment'!" And 'heavenly punishment' is the art of nothingness. The nihiloid son has been silent for many years and is finally coming back. Don't forget that he has always wanted to kill you.

Shan Kun smiled and said, "It may not be only Xu Wuzi who can use 'heavenly punishment'. Yueqing has learned 'heavenly punishment' fifteen years ago. Presumably... Yunqing, a witch in the death row village, should also do this trick."

The wooden-faced man suddenly shook, as if he remembered something in the past and said, "Yueqing? The famous 'Moon Eclipse' Gong Yueqing... I haven't heard of this name for a long time... I think that fifteen years ago, in the Ghost Fairy Gate, the two underworld envoys of 'Moon Eclipse' and Gongye Qian, came out. Whether it is martial arts and spells, it is enough to amaze the Three Kingdoms. Only they can repel the State of Chu, and only they can fight back. Dare to fight against the nihilistic son who broke the void, but later, Gong Yueqing disappeared until now. Gongye Qian also abandoned the name of 'Amazingzhe' and turned into a hermit and hidden in the market. I'm afraid that his skills that he was abolished by the nihilistic son have not yet been restored..."

Shan Kun was thoughtful and smiled without saying anything, but there was a strange light shining in the depths of his eyes.

The wooden man smiled and said, "The era of 'Moon Eclipse' and 'Amazing of Insects' has passed. This war should rely on 'Longwei' and 'Nine Tails', right?" Long Wei refers to Shan Kun.

"You praised me." Shan Kun looked at the scroll and knocked on the hard table with his powerful index joint. Is there any other news?"

The wooden man smiled and said, "There is worse and worse news! Your young master Lin has worshipped Gongye Qian as his teacher, which is a ghost in the ghost fairy door!' The Waking of Insects is the life of a disciple who was born to kill. Now he is in the Yingwang Mansion, where the fourth prince's birthday is celebrated. He is a good treat to his beautiful woman and wine. It seems that he wants to make him addicted to wine and sex and can't extricate himself.

"Don't worry about this. After all, he is my son, and no one will know him better than me. He can never work hard to celebrate his birthday. He must have his own moderation in doing so.

"Since you are sure, it's not my turn to worry." The wooden man said, "General, I'll ask you one last question. Have you ever thought about sitting in the dragon chair and taking the old emperor? If you have this idea, I can help you assassinate Emperor Wudu.

Shan Kun smiled and said, "Be an emperor? I thought before that I have become lazy in recent years. Now it's good to be an idle prince. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I wanted to live like this all my life. Hey... It seems impossible!" He shook his head helplessly.

With that, he stood up, pushed the door out and said, "I'm tired of reading. Let's go to the yard and have a fist. Do you want to come?"

Wooden man said, "Are you still punching when you are tired? I don't want it. I have to go to the State of Chu. I have some personal matters to solve. After saying this, it suddenly turned into a breeze and passed away with the wind.

"But it's really an impatient."

He took off his robe and began the first style of "Taizu Long Fist". This simple and strong boxing was beaten by him.

In the middle of the boxing, he suddenly stopped, stared at a dense banyan tree in the yard, and said loudly, "Is it Qinglong? Why don't you show up yet?"

As soon as the voice fell, he only heard a "peng", the fallen leaves flew, and a figure jumped out of the tree. It was Lin Qinglong.

He came step by step and bowed and said, "Father."

He overheard that Shan Kun had led the army on the street. He hurriedly inquired about the location of the Qianwang Mansion and flew over.

He originally had a lot to say to Shan Kun. He wanted to say that his cultivation had greatly increased, that he had mastered the mysterious skill, and that he had a spiritual weapon called a blood wave, and a guy named Sun Jun was also sealed...

But when I met him, I couldn't say anything. The corners of his mouth inadvertently clicked gently and sighed in a soft voice like a mosquito.

He just said, "Father."

Shan Kun nodded slightly: "You have heard what you said just now."

Lin Qinglong said, "I heard it all." He knew that his "hidist" kung fu was very bad, and he could not hide Shan Kun's eyes and ears at all. Those words must have been deliberately told to him by Shan Kun.

Shan Kun patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few months. You have grown taller. Calling you out, there is actually one thing to tell you. Then celebrate your birthday... It's the fourth prince of the Eagle King. He will definitely send you to kill Junshan. Junshan is his imperial brother. With the support of the prime minister behind him, he is the only opponent for his throne. He will definitely try his best to kill Junshan, but he dares not do it rashly. Believe in my father, if he knows your identity, he will definitely send you to kill Junshan, and then put the charge of killing the prince on my head. This is indeed a trick to kill two birds with one stone.

Although Lin Qinglong guessed seven or eight points in advance about these things, he was still uncertain. At this time, when he heard Shan Kun's words, he suddenly realized that he was faintly afraid. He just snorted coldly and said, "The fourth prince is just a mortal. I can only bend my fingers to take his life. My father doesn't have to worry about me... "

Shan Kun said, "You'd better be careful. Since ancient times, there have been countless cases where practitioners have lost their lives at the hands of mortals. The birthday celebration is born in the sinister royal family. Compared with you, you know how to use people's hearts and observe words and colors. Eagle Palace is absolutely careless! By the way, Qinglong, why do you want to see me today?

At this time, Lin Qinglong remembered his original intention. He scratched the back of his head and said, "I happened to hear that my father is going to leave Beijing and lead troops to the front line. Is it true? That's what people outside say.

Shan Kun nodded and sighed again. Lin Qinglong suddenly found that his eyes looking at him at this moment were a little kind, surprised and happy. He only heard Shan Kun say, "The old emperor did make this imperial edict, but this is obviously Mo Han's trick. Today's situation is just a small-scale harassment, and it's not his turn. Come to me to war."

"Does my father want to resist the decree?"

Shan Kun laughed: "Qinglong! Yes, that's right. However, the mountain people have their own tricks, and my father will find a way to make them unable to see the flaws. But I will still stay in Kyoto." He originally intended to keep Lin Qinglong in the Qianwang Mansion. In any case, his home is the safest place, but he knows Lin Qinglong's personality and temper. Since he has entered the Eagle Palace and will not make trouble in the city, he will not come out easily.

Shan Kun didn't know that Lin Qinglong and the fourth prince Xu and the snake were just to practice with the nine-tailed fox Xiao Yunu.

The father and son chatted a few more, and Lin Qinglong got up and said goodbye.

Today is undoubtedly a very happy day for him. He has always thought that his father is indifferent to him. In fact, it is just because he has the blood of ghosts - it is very easy to be jealous, lost and hateful. It is precisely because of this strange bloodline that it causes the estrangement between father and son.

Now, more or less, he can finally understand the emotions of the ghost people!

When he was about to leave, Lin Qinglong asked him, "Father, I already know that my mother is from the ghost country, and I also have the blood of the ghost country. Tell me, who is my mother?"

This is a question that has troubled him to this day, and he really wants to ask.
