Chapter 248 247. Goodbye Cold-Blooded
Chen Jiu lived in Wudang for a while, and did not return to his home in Jinling until mid-March.

Lian Xing originally wanted to go back with him. As a celestial being, she thought she would not hold back, but this proposal was rejected by Chen Jiu.

With the gate of heaven wide open, Di Shitian may not show up in a big way, but he will definitely stay near the imperial mausoleum.

Chen Jiulian didn't bring Duan Shuai, the old housekeeper, so naturally he wouldn't bring Lian Xing back.

Now this place is on the eve of a storm, and he dare not say that he can protect himself even in a supernatural power state, let alone Lian Xing in a heaven-human state.

"My lord, there is an urgent report from the Xiaoling Guard, and the low-ranking officials have been suppressing it for ten days and have not dealt with it. The complaints and documents of the past department are piled up half a mountain high. The past department is saying that if the lord does not show up again, he will not be able to withstand the pressure."

The first time Chen Jiu showed up, Shen Lian hurriedly informed him of the latest news.

He didn't ask where the boss had been during this time. In fact, Xiaolingwei had been asking for help for more than ten days, but Chen Jiu was not there. At first Xiaolingwei still asked for help, but he was dragged until he couldn't take it anymore, so he had no choice but to complain. .

It's no wonder that no one in Jinyiwei handles this matter. No one dares to take the blame.

Chen Jiu's expression was a little embarrassed.

Needless to say, this is indeed his dereliction of duty. As the local chief official, he can't be found at any time. It is his fault even if Xiaolingwei makes trouble to Zhengde.

It was Shen Lian's hard work. He was probably in a hurry during this time.

After taking a look at the official document in Shen Lian's hand, he also understood why the Xiaoling guards were in such a hurry.

There is a Shouling Village around Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the people in the village are all members of the security organization within the establishment. As the guardians of the imperial mausoleum, these people are all carefully selected and selected, which can be understood as the Ming version of special forces.

This is the guardhouse with the strongest combat capability in Ming Dynasty, even Jinyiwei can't match it.

The bloated hereditary model of Jin Yiwei has long turned this former first guard of the Ming Dynasty into a miscellaneous army. There are some who are gilded after meritorious service, and some who eat and wait to die for public food. It is not too much to describe it as a mixed bag.

But Xiaoling Guard is different. The most mysterious guard in the Ming Dynasty implements the elimination system for the last place, and a strict assessment will be conducted every five years. According to historical records, those who are incompetent can be replaced by their male sons, and no males will succeed them. Or, Ying Shilu returned to his hometown for the elderly, and basically got stuck with some salted fish that he wanted to rot.

It is such a strong army that deployed guards in Shouling Village. All of them disappeared overnight at the beginning of March. No one was alive or dead. The commander of the Xiaoling Guard had no choice but to continue to send people to guard, and the fate remained the same. In this way, how many people went missing, now there are rumors of ghosts in Shouling Village, and after losing hundreds of people, the commander of Xiaoling Guard couldn't find out the reason, and didn't dare to send people to continue to garrison, and finally asked for help. Jinling Jinyiwei's head.

To put it simply, Xiaoling is currently unguarded. This is indeed a top priority. This situation has never happened since Xiaoling was built. Throughout the history of Ming Dynasty, when the situation is chaotic, there are guards around Xiaoling. Until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the guard house of Xiaolingwei disappeared in the long river of history.

When Chen Jiu saw the news of the disappearance of officers and soldiers stationed in Shouling Village, he knew who was behind the scenes.

Except for Di Shitian, no one else would dare to do such a thing that would embarrass the royal family.

But now this matter really can't be dealt with.

Chen Jiu didn't want to, and couldn't do it.

"Continue pressing, tell them to re-arrange people to go back to guard the mausoleum after Qingming. Before that, no one is allowed to go near the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and they don't have to go on the day of Qingming sacrifice."

Shen Lian was a little confused.

"My lord, on the day of Qingming, the King of Zhennan will take the officials of Liudu to take his place to sacrifice. If you want to stop the first sacrifice of these three major sacrifices, the adults of all ministries, whether they want to or not, will have to participate in the lord book.

Cold blooded?

This buddy is still lucky.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Jiu didn't ask about the ending of this person, but he was still alive.

He originally thought that Zhengde would secretly deal with this brother who appeared halfway, and it would not be too much to degrade him as a commoner.

Whoever asked An Shigeng to make trouble with his face, the crime of killing the king, will be stripped to the point, whether it is passive or not, the emperor will not listen to your explanation.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ling abandoned Mao, and he had to worship his ancestors on behalf of Zhengde on Qingming.

It can only be said that Masanori is rarely sensible.

But even if Leng Xue was an acquaintance, it was useless, not letting him go would actually save him.

Chen Jiu quickly thought of a solution.

He could only say that it was a good thing that the Heavenly Gate was not opened in the Ancestral Temple this time, otherwise, even if he found a reason to force the emperor not to go to the grave, he would really be blamed afterwards.

Chen Jiu is not in the habit of taking this kind of blame.

But since Tianmen opened in Jinling, he also wanted to go in and take a look, as long as he gave a suitable reason.

Chen Jiu was going to hand over a brochure.

Not for Zhengde, but for Zhu Jianshen.

No matter what the buddies say, they are doing things for the old Zhu's family now, and it is still possible to ask Zhengde to give special approval to change personnel for this visit to the grave.

He will use the name of Wudang Zhang Sanfeng to go to this grave for Zhengde.

I believe that Zhu Jianshen would also be happy to see someone make trouble for Di Shitian. It is hard to say whether this royal ancestor will come to join in the fun, but Chen Jiu hopes that he can show his face. After all, Lao Zhang's name is just borrowed, isn't it? It really made Lao Zhang rush over.

After Chen Jiu made his decision, he gave Shen Lian instructions.

"I will personally write an urgent report from [-] miles away, and do what I say until Chaoli doesn't reply. As for King Zhennan, I'll go find him later."

Now that the boss had spoken, Shen Lian stopped being entangled, and quickly prepared paper and ink, and after Chen Jiu finished writing the memorial, he immediately went out to arrange a messenger.

Chen Jiu asked Jin Yichuan to prepare some gifts, and was going to pay a visit to Zhennan Wang Leng Xue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Speaking of which, he and this person haven't seen each other for half a year, and they had struggled together for a while back then, so they had some kind of friendship anyway.

Speaking of Leng-Blood, I don’t know how Liu Dufeng’s buddy is doing now. Chen Jiu has never paid much attention to this unlucky man who ate Tianxiang Cardamom. Leng-Blood seems to have continued the bad luck of his adoptive father. People, do not enter a house.

It's really unlucky fucking opened the door, unlucky got home.

As a nobleman of the royal family, Leng Xue temporarily lived in the predecessor of the Ten Kings' Mansion, so let's use the name of the Ten Kings' Mansion instead. This place is not far from Jinling Jinyiwei's yamen, and it is close to the former imperial capital of Ming Dynasty.

It's outrageous to say that the office area of ​​the sixth department of Jinling is still in the Meridian Gate of the old capital's imperial city, which is like a small imperial court, but cold-blooded princes are not allowed to enter the inner part of the imperial city unless they are summoned.

Whether it is the imperial city of Shuntian Mansion or the imperial city of Yingtian Mansion, they are not allowed to enter.

If Chen Jiu wants to enter the imperial palace in Liudu, he can enter without looking for a reason. After all, he has the reputation of being the commander of the capital. The cold-blooded king of Zhennan can only feel it at close range through the high wall. The place where the ancestors of the old Zhu family once lived.

The reason why he mentioned this matter was because when Chen Jiu saw Leng Xue, the old man was staring at the palace next to him in a daze.

"Want to go in?"

Chen Jiu glanced at him with interest.

"Just curious."

Cold-blooded shook his head without further explanation.

"Long time no see, you are still so annoying."

"I'm annoying, that's true. If I'm not annoying, I won't be here anymore, but Zhennan King is not the former Zhennan King. In fact, I don't understand one thing. This Ji girl is still alive. , I can only say that the prince is really nostalgic."

Chen Jiu glanced at Ji Yaohua, really puzzled that this person could still be by Leng Xue's side.

To explain it in terms of nostalgia, I am afraid it is a bit unreasonable.

Staring at him coldly, he didn't speak for a long time.

"Forget it, just be happy."

Chen Jiu shrugged.

"The lower official just came here to inform that the rituals of the six departments of Jinling have changed. King Zhennan will take Miss Ji to have fun in Jinling these days."

"Notice?"

Leng-Blood tilted his head, revealing two rows of teeth.

"That's not the order the king received."

"Well, the new imperial decree is still on its way. I'll come over to say hello in advance, so the prince will be busy for nothing."

Chen Jiu didn't want to explain too much.

He always thought that meeting Leng Xue, even if it wasn't a harmonious picture of old friends reuniting, should be like two strangers like now.

The buddy should not have offended this one.

If he remembered correctly, this old iron's life was saved by himself.

Just because he teased Ji Yaohua just now?

As for being so stingy?

Whether it is because of Ji Yaohua that Leng Xue spoke coldly to him is unknown.

Chen Jiu thinks not.

Leng Lingqi, no, Zhu Lingqi seems to have another purpose.

"No matter what status Master Chen is in, he is worthy of obstructing this king's worship of ancestors. Even if the sage ordered it, it is impossible for this king not to worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Jiu felt a little incomprehensible.

If it is said that the cold blood is out of filial piety, he would not believe this reason even if he was killed.

How could a person who was abandoned since childhood have such great respect for his ancestors?

Just ask this reason cold-blooded yourself believe it or not.

But it wouldn't make sense to say that he simply wanted to squeeze himself out.

Again, there shouldn't be any conflict between the two of them.

Chen Jiu couldn't think of anything he could have offended this buddy, not to mention anything else, that old brother Liu Dufeng was rescued by himself, and the gratitude in the cold-blooded eyes at that time couldn't be faked.

That's why there was something else he didn't know.

Chen Jiu's face was completely speechless, he was waiting for a cold-blooded reply.

"I don't need to explain to you what this king means. If Mr. Chen refuses to accept it, you can go to the court to sue the emperor, or you can stay at home and continue your past dawdling state. Okay, this king doesn't have time to talk to you, please. Come back."

Leng Xue really deserved to be the reincarnation of the white-eyed wolf. He seemed to have completely forgotten the friendship between the two at the beginning, and his tone clearly revealed that he was eager for the other party to turn his face.

Chen Jiu couldn't handle this operation.

"Would you like to listen to what you're talking about?"

"Master Chen, would you like to listen to what you are talking about?"

Ji Yaohua, who had been silent all this time, also raised her head.

"Don't you think that you have the final say on Jinling? As long as Daming survives for a day, the Zhu family will have the final say."

Chen Jiu was amused.

"strong."

This pair of dogs and men don't know if they are suffering from insanity. After all, the buddies have a half-step reputation on the outside. If they speak so aggressively, do they feel that they have no temper?

Then use your strength to shut the two of them up.

He stood up, ready to educate Liu Dufeng, the brainless thing called cold-blooded.

"Do you want to start?"

The moment he stood up coldly, the fists in his sleeves couldn't help but clenched tightly.

"Not too stupid."

Chen Jiu nodded.

"I suggest you two be good, so as not to trouble me."

"You really are still so annoying."

Cold blood waved to Ji Yaohua.

"Forget it, go and take out the things and let him take a good look."

?

Chen Jiu suddenly thought of something.

No, these two don't know that the gate of heaven is located in the Imperial Tomb of Jinling, so they deliberately said that so that they don't get involved.

What is this?
Do you think that I don't know the secret, and I also think that you don't know the secret, and that the reason we keep it from each other is for the benefit of each other?

Although this explanation seems to be nonsense and mentally handicapped, judging from the current situation, it seems to be the case.

There is just one problem, I know that the Heavenly Gate is open around the Jinling Imperial Mausoleum through Lao Zhang and Xichi, these two are not even heavenly beings, where did I hear this secret?
Both Leng Xue and Ji Yaohua are at the master level, and they are not qualified to participate in it at all. To put it bluntly, they are not even qualified to be pawns.

Then there must be a big Buddha hiding behind them.

Don't be in a hurry for now, let's see what Ji Yaohua is going to bring out.

Chen Jiu waited patiently for a while.After Ji Yaohua came back, she really had a letter in her hand, but she was not in a hurry to show it to him.

"Master Chen, the content here may be beyond your imagination. Brother Leng is acting like this to protect you. Yaohua thinks it's better for you not to have so much curiosity. Before the imperial decree comes down, go to Beijing Just sue the imperial court, and just push the matter to us."

As soon as she said this, Chen Jiu was basically sure that his guess was correct.

His tone also softened.

"You two are really silly and cute."

Chen Jiu wanted to take a look at the envelope, but found that the content of the letter was completely different from what he had guessed.

There was no signature on this letter, and the content was also very weird. The letter said that the surrounding area of ​​the imperial mausoleum should be cleared in cold blood.

And that's not the point at all.

The point is that the person in the letter said that he would accompany a fairy-like figure to prepare Leng Xue, the Zhennan King, for everything to be received according to the highest standard, so that no one could bump into this living fairy.

Ji Yaohua explained to him from the side.

"Master Chen, Brother Leng joined Wuming Island for some reason. The owner of the island is a great figure in the supernatural power realm. Yaohua knows that you are a young man, but in this world, half-step heaven and human realm is nothing at all."

The owner of the nameless island?
There is also a big person who must be accompanied by the island owner?
Chen Jiu felt a bit pained.

It can't be the little old man Wu Ming, so who is he accompanying?

Indra?
It is estimated that Leng Xue has also become a peripheral member of Tianmen.

It's really funny enough.
