Chapter 815 – Xin Chengzhi’s End of the Road
Great Kang Empire, winter of the fifth year of Tongkang.
On the second day of the winter solstice, a heavy snowfall came unannounced and rained for four full days, the entire Long Xian Town became a world of silver, the ice skates hanging down from the eaves of the houses almost reached the ground, and the chilly wind blew cold and piercing to the bones.
A group of half-grown boys ignored the elders scolding, shouting and running to the street, piled up snowman snowball fight, frozen little face red, but extraordinarily happy.
At this time you chased me to run to the front of the pharmacy, can not help but stop in unison.
There is a chaise longue in front of the door, pharmacy Xin grandfather is lying on it, holding a fishing rod, leisurely fishing in a water tank.
Grandpa Xin has a big temper, but never angry at the children, a group of half-grown boys are not afraid of him, smiling close, probe to look inside, only to see the tank clear to the bottom, a fish is not.
A little fat boy grinned, revealing a mouthful of uneven teeth: “Grandpa Xin, there are no fish what are you fishing?”
Another female child with sharp eyes blinked: “Not only is there no fish, there’s no fish hook.”
The little fatty muttered: “Grandpa Xin, you’ve been fishing here for quite a while, haven’t you? My father and second uncle said that if you want to eat fish, we’ll go catch them for you, so don’t fish.”
Xin Zhuo lightly laughed and patted his head: “Who said I can’t catch fish, look!”
Lightly shaking the fishing rod, the water surface shook, a big koi carp suddenly flew from the west side of the town, threw itself into the net, a bite of the hookless fishing line, “snapped” fell into the water tank.
A group of half-grown children were dumbfounded, and didn’t make a sound for a long time.
“Da da da da ……”
Just then, the pavilion chief’s oldest son drove a donkey cart back from the provincial capital, panicked, the carriage crashed in a flurry.
Along the way the neighbors heard the sound have run out, seven mouths asked: “big teeth, what happened?”
Big teeth shivered and said: “His Highness the King of Liang …… is also known as Uncle Dog, lost, lost, was defeated by the thirteen vassals, seems to be coming to our town.”
“Ah ……”
The simple neighborhoods do not know what this represents, ah half a day, but also not a so.
That big teeth for help to look in the direction of Xin Zhuo, found that just now still fishing Xin grandfather, has entered the house, can only heavy sigh, anxious to rush home.
……
“Da da da da ……”
A huge and luxurious fleet of vehicles hurriedly rushed from the Great Kang Imperial Capital to Jiyangfu, the capital city of Wave Fairy Town, and from Jiyangfu southward, heading straight to the southern city of Qiuwei, passing through the city without entering it, and heading straight to Wave Fairy Town.
The carriages were luxurious and atmospheric nine-horse vassal king carriages, nine-horse Rapunzel carriages, thirty-two horse-drawn imperial jade road chariots, and a large number of scholarly carriages, with a golden platform for the imperial seat, five umbrella covers, four fans, feather fans, sun shades, cataracts, and other ceremonial items.
Surrounding them were a large number of palace eunuchs and eunuchs.
Further away are tens of thousands of iron armor and silver helmeted cavalry of the forbidden guards.
Behind the forbidden guards were hundreds of martial artists flying high in the air, each with wide robes and big sleeves, holding swords and knives, with a compelling aura.
Although the caravan is majestic and solemn, powerful, but at the moment the ceremony skewed, soldiers have fear, eunuchs and eunuchs are terrified, that is, the lieutenant of the car is also dumbfounded out of focus.
Many people’s eyes from time to time glanced to the forefront of the nine horse vassals car driving, car curtains swinging with the wind, inside sitting in a stout, wearing four claws of the king’s robes, the face of the majestic man, less than fifty years old, beard, eyes like a knife, not angry from the authority.
He is the king of Liang, the king of Dakang, the prime minister, the lord Xin Chengzhi.
This person has been through three dynasties, no matter whether the war outside or into the dynasty as a prime minister, are iron blood wrist, known for killing people, no one is not afraid.
The reason why the thirteen vassals lost this crusade was that they were too eager, which led to suspicion between the king and his ministers and the loss of righteousness.
“Lord Prime Minister!” At this time, a white-bearded old official leaped forward, arching his hand and saying, “Thirty miles ahead is the town of Langxian, I wonder how to place the regiment?”
Xin Chengzhi indifferently swept a glance at him, frightening this person into hastily bowing his head, before he said: “The sons and daughters are housed outside of the town, my father, Duke Tiger’s old mansion, is large enough for His Majesty and all the ministers to reside in.”
“Here!” The great official saluted again.
Xin Chengzhi asked, “How is His Majesty?”
Da Guan’er sighed and said, “He hasn’t eaten any rice or water in three days, and he doesn’t speak.”
Xin Chengzhi sneered: “Go and tell that little boy, the thirteen vassals are pushing too hard, I have to hold the son of heaven to deter the vassals, if he does not listen to advice, no state of peace and stability of the country of the bright king’s face, I will inevitably re-establish a new king!”
Da Guan’er bluffed and quickly said, “Prime Minister think twice, the micro-minister will persuade His Majesty!”
Xin Chengzhi waved his hand, the big official left in a hurry, he silently looked ahead, there was a lofty mountain, behind the mountain was Long Xian Town, the place where he was born and raised, there was still Uncle Xin there.
How old is Uncle Xin? Eighty years old? Is he still alive?
While he was mesmerized, a eunuch with very high martial arts skills swept in: “Your Excellency, the vanguard has arrived at Long Xian Town!”
“Report!”
At this exact moment, another eunuch swept in from the rear and hurriedly reported: “Three hundred thousand troops from the thirteen vassals and ten sects of martial immortals have already chased after them, four hundred miles away from …… each other!”
Xin Chengzhi was silent for a long time before waving his long sleeve: “Recruit Blackwater, North Crouching Mountain, Longquan Hidden Sect, White Wolf Cave Heaven and Nine Birds Superior, Xisha Old Ancestor, Wanchao Kui Lao, etc. to enter Wave Immortal Town as soon as possible to escort the guards and the rest of the people will follow the lone into the town!”
“Here!”
“Enter the town, enter the town!”
The voluminous caravan enters the long street of the town from the east of the town, there are forbidden guards to maintain order early on, not allowing the people to go out on the street at will, and then the officials of the Ministry of Ceremony enter the broad old mansion of Daliang’s life, and hastily order the expansion, and ask the surrounding residents to vacate a large number of civilian houses.
Neighbors have never seen this kind of battle, the previous several times the imperial court to pass the order of the procession is not so scary, can not help but be terrified, have run to the town’s oldest, the highest generation of Grandpa Xin’s pharmacy, surrounded a layer after a layer.
Then found Grandpa Xin just sitting on a chaise longue inside the door of the room, a pair of cloudy old eyes without any emotion, no scruples, no fear, just sitting like that.
This made their hearts a little bit more at ease.
Who expected that at this time, a group of brightly clad and furious teenage boys, ran wildly, the leader was a handsome 17 or 18 year old brother, sweeping a circle of the crowd, angrily rebuking: “You group of bitches, gathered here, what do you want to do? Rebellion?”
Neighborhood trembling, do not know what to do, Liang Lao Gai as a pavilion chief, had to go forward with a stiff upper lip: “So that you know, we ……”
“Snap!”
Words did not finish, face received a heavy whip, a bloody mouth blood overflowed, the leading youth scolded: “No need to say more, roll!”
Liang Lao Gai covered his face, breathing rapidly, said: “Who are you?”
That youth sneered: “The first son of His Highness King Liang and Princess Changping, Di Hou Xin Wei!”
“I know you!”
Liang Lao Gai also don’t know what kind of tendon is twitching, kind of out of the blue: “I and your father, Dog, grew up playing together, even if he came, he wouldn’t do this to me, and, do you know where this is? This is Uncle Xin’s pharmacy, you go and ask your father, where did he get that skill, and where did you get this surname?”
Xin Wei was stunned for a moment, sitting on his high horse, looking towards the old man lying inside the door of the medicine store with white hair, full of old age spots, his waist and back hunched over and rotting, he couldn’t help but say disgustedly, “Nonsense what? I’ve heard of this old man, what my father’s teacher, but it’s just a human cloud, my father that tops the ……”
Words did not finish, suddenly even people with horse heavy flying out, “bang” fell to the ground, half a long time did not come back to breath.
Around the horseback riding young girls and teenagers and neighbors startled, only to see that at some point, in front of a group of people, led by a pair of silk king’s robes, phoenix robes of the middle-aged nobleman and his wife.
It is the middle-aged man who made the move.
