Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 305
The north wind howled and the snow fell.

On the observation deck at the top of Lishan Mountain, Ji Gongyan stood with his hands behind his back, Li Hongxi, Yang Ni and other military generals stood on the left; Xibo Jifu, Guo Shifu, Guo Han and other civil servants stood on the right.

Looking at it from a distance, Ji Gongzhen couldn't help but frown, only seeing a vast expanse of white mountains as far as he could see, and there was no movement on the beacon towers in the distance.

"General Yang..."

Yang Ni took a step forward, clasped his fists in response and said, "The end is here!"

Ji Gongwen asked: "The nine disciples of the leader of the Western religion have besieged that sloppy Taoist for several days, why are they still unable to take him down?"

Yang Ni replied: "The formation used by the nine disciples of the leader of the Western religion is called the 'Ten Square Formation', and a total of ten people are required to work together. The cicada disciples left the sect, and only nine of the top ten leaders in the West remained, and even the ground was not complete, so they could not attack for a long time."

Ji Gongzhen was noncommittal, with a hint of impatience on his expression.

Guo Han stood silently at the side, didn't say anything, but thought to himself in his heart: Even if the cultivation level of the leader of the Western religion is not as good as Lu Ya's Taoist, the gap is not so great.If you want to kill a Taoist Lord Lu Ya who was attacked by surprise, it is impossible to mobilize the crowd like this, but it is still delayed until now.From this, it is not difficult to infer that the real purpose of the ten square formations set up by the Western Sect is not simply to put Lu to death, but to try to seize his inner alchemy.

At this time, Ji Gongyan asked again: "General Li, since there is one person missing from the formation, why don't you fill in the vacancy as the disciple who guides the Dao Lord?"

Yang Ni nodded and said: "It's ashamed to say that the final general is only a registered disciple of Taoist Lord, and he can't be ranked among the top ten in the West, and he is not qualified to participate in the Ten Square Formation."

Ji Gongyan showed a dignified expression, and sighed: "If you wait like this day and night, when will you be tall?"

Xibo Jifu took a step forward and suggested: "Your Majesty, Mount Li is close to the border of the Rong people, and foreign enemies may invade at any time. I suggest that you withdraw to Gaojing as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

Hearing Xibojifu urging the emperor to return to the palace, Father Guoshi was afraid that his plan of colluding with foreign enemies would fail, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This time, the emperor will personally go out of the palace to supervise the execution. If you haven't waited to kill the rebels, you will go back in advance." Chao, where is the prestige of the Great Zhou?"

Ji Gongzhen took a long breath, stretched his waist and said, "Since you're here, wait a little longer. Now that you have nothing to do, let's have some fun to pass the time."

Hearing that the Son of Heaven was going to take the lead in having fun, father Guo Shi became emotional instantly, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have a beautiful woman named Baosi. Although she has a beautiful appearance, she is as cold as ice and never smiles all day long. This matter?"

Ji Gongyu nodded and said: "Since Baosi entered the palace, I have never seen her smile.

Father Guo Shi said: "Don't you want to see the beauty smile?"

Ji Gongzhen shook his head, and said lightly: "Since people don't want to laugh, why bother to make things difficult for others?"

Guo Shi's father said: "The meaning of my minister, don't you want to know, whether she can't laugh, or doesn't she want to laugh?"

"Don't want to laugh?" Ji Gongyan's expression changed, and he asked, "You want to say that Bao Si didn't want to laugh because she saw the widow?"

Father Guo Shi smiled mysteriously and said, "This humble minister doesn't know either. Now that there is nothing to do, Your Majesty might as well make a bet with the humble minister on who can make Baosi smile."

Ji Gongyan was more interested and said: "Since you want to gamble, let's play with lottery. I want to offer a reward for tricks, whoever can make Baosi smile, I will have a lot of rewards!"

As soon as the words fell, Xibo Jifu quickly stopped and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must never be allowed! Now that disasters continue today, people are in panic. If Your Majesty announces a joke to the world, the people may misunderstand you and ignore it. The government is obsessed with beauty, and the hearts of the people are bound to be shaken."

Ji Gongyu said displeased: "The Grand Master is making a fuss out of a molehill, it's just a game, I just want to have fun with the people."

Father Guo Shi said: "Why does the Grand Master have to stop every time you have some ideas, is it because you are sincerely sorry for the Lord?"

Ji Gongxuan immediately made a decision and said: "There is no need to discuss this matter again, I have made up my mind!"

"Your Majesty is a sage!" Father Guoshi looked back and smiled triumphantly at Xi Bojifu.

Xibo Jifu pointed to Father Guo Shi's nose, and said angrily, "A courtier...a courtier is wronging the country!"

Ji Gongzhen turned a deaf ear and said loudly: "General Li listens to the orders!"

Li Hongxi took a step forward: "The end is here!"

"The weather has suddenly turned cold. The grand master is old and can't stand the cold. General Li will send the grand master back to his room to rest."

"...the general will obey."

Xibo Jifu was persuaded to go back by Li Hongxi, he couldn't help sighing again and again, but there was nothing he could do.

Ji Gongyan turned to Guo Han: "Guo Han listens to the decree!"

"Chen is here!"

"The widow ordered you to send someone to post a notice: whoever can make Bao Si smile, the widow will reward you with a thousand taels."

"Wei Chen understands."

Ji Gongyan waved his sleeves, and all the officials dispersed.

After Guo Han got the order, he kept thinking about how he could win a thousand gold reward by himself. He bowed his head and walked for a while, and met a young girl with a charming figure, who was the concubine who had been by his side recently.

Guo Han's eyes lit up, and he said, "Miss Hui Ji, you came just in time, I just have a question I want to ask."

Hui Ji said: "Master Guo, please speak."

Guo Han quickly told Hui Ji about the emperor's daughter buying a smile, and then asked: "Miss Hui Ji, when will women laugh?"

Ehime said: "Whether it's a man or a woman, as long as they see someone or something they like, they will laugh. On the contrary, no one wants to laugh when they are with people they don't like all day long."

Guo Han felt that this was not unreasonable, but he had another question in his heart, and murmured: "The emperor smiled happily to win Baosi, and he spared no expense to buy a smile. It can be seen that Baosi is the only one who is favored by the emperor. However, I found that not only Baosi Si didn't smile, and the emperor has never smiled since he was with Baosi..."

Eji speculated: "The Son of Heaven loves Bao Si a lot, maybe it's just superficial. They probably don't like each other, and they think about another person and another thing in their hearts."

Guo Han didn't understand very well, but he still said, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss."

"You are Welcome."

Eji smiled, her eyes were narrowed into slits, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and a radiant smile floated on her cheeks.

Guo Han thinks this woman is good at laughing.Her smile is like honey, which can sweeten every man's heart.Therefore, Guo Han also laughed involuntarily, from the bottom of his heart.Maybe it is really like what she said just now, whether it is a man or a woman, when you meet someone you like, you will involuntarily want to laugh.

Under the setting sun, Hui Ji smiled very charmingly in the rays of the sun, with a radiance on her face, like a clear sky after snow.

Guo Han licked his lips, feeling itchy in his heart, and asked: "It's getting late, if Miss Tu Ji doesn't dislike it, why don't you follow me back to the house. Let's discuss human body drawing all night, how about it?"

Tu Ji smiled sweetly, her eyes were gentle and sweet, and just about to answer, a sentry suddenly came to report:
"Master Guo, my subordinates have something important to report!"

Guo Han's face darkened, and he secretly scolded the little soldier for coming at an inopportune time, delaying his own good work, and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, let it go!"

The sentinel reported: "The subordinates stood on the watchtower during the day and found four people coming all the way up the mountain."

Mr. Guo wondered inexplicably, how could someone come up the mountain in heavy snow even though the notice that a thousand dollars would buy a smile hadn’t been posted yet?

"What kind of four people are going up the mountain in the snow?" Guo Han asked.

The sentinel thought for a while, and replied: "A girl, a fat man, an old man, and a white-haired man, you can't tell your age just by appearance."

"Fat man? White-haired man?" Guo Han frowned, muttering, "...Who is it?"
