Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 221 The Great War
His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty looked at everything in front of him calmly. His calm face did not mean his inner peace, but what was helpless was that no one below could see his state of mind and thoughts, and the only one who could see Of the two people who came out, one was not in the hall at this time, and the other was not looking at him.

Fan Jian knelt in the center of the hall, without saying a word, facing the ground, he seemed to have made a big mistake, but there was no expression on his face either.

At this time, the emperor's eyes were locked on the memorials on the dragon case in front of him. There were more than a dozen of them stacked there, which were the memorials submitted by the Supervisory Council, the Senate, and the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China. They were all for the purpose of impeaching a person. Fan Jian, Minister of the Household Department of His Royal Highness.

Next to Fan Jian, there were the president of the Senate, the Secretary of the Chinese Ministry of Education, two censors, one censor of the inspectorate, two ministers of the inspectorate, and two servants of the inspectorate. There was one Minister of the Ministry and one Minister of the Ministry of Officials. At this time, they were standing in front of the emperor majesticly.

The content of their impeachment is very clear. For many years, Fan Jian has been serving as Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, taking advantage of his position, and using his power for personal gain. People and local merchants formed cliques for private interests, and operated countless shops and banks of various types.

Zhongshuling is in the second rank, holding the crown prince's order, and has a lot of power. At this time, a Zhongshuling directly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the evidence is convincing now, and there are both personal and physical evidence, and it affects The scope is huge and the influence is very light. What we consider is that Mr. Fan Jianfan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, grew up with His Majesty. Although his status is extremely special, he still cannot escape the responsibility. Three nights sleepless ruling, I hope His Majesty can give a certain amount of punishment, don't mess up the super-class, don't shake the foundation, although Mr. Fan has such bad deeds during his reign, but his credit is indispensable, the treasury has been effectively received The guarantee did not collapse under the high pressure of the internal treasury, and even a unique industrial model and income model emerged, which also made a lot of available measures for the subsequent treasury management. After all, the mistakes are short-lived, but these long-term The plan is a good plan to allow the Ministry of Households to continue its activities. After the agreement between the two of Zhongshuling and the Inspectorate Yushi, I hope that His Majesty can remove him from his post, so that he can retire and return to his hometown. , The Shangshu Mansion is still here, and all previous mistakes will be rewarded with merit and virtue, and will not be pursued."

That's what Zhongshu Ling does. The resolution he makes is His Majesty's resolution. Of course, His Majesty wants to overturn this resolution, which is just a matter of one sentence.At this time, His Majesty the Emperor took a deep breath, and the majestic demeanor made no one dare to speak. He was judging the situation and thinking.

This matter is clearly the plan of the eldest princess. The things that Fan Jian racked his brains to get are all made by the emperor. The emperor knows it well. Of course he also knows how difficult it is for Fan Jian to make money. The difference between the internal treasury and the Qing Kingdom in the past is that the current internal treasury is used to support the expenditures needed by the three courts, the Ministry of Education and other countries, while the national treasury is a fucking thing for the emperor to spend money on. Fan Jian It is equivalent to the emperor's purse, wallet, there is a problem with his own wallet, how can the emperor not know?Of course I know, so Fan Jian is fine. The main reason why his money can't stand up to scrutiny is still the emperor's problem.

What if we continue to check?What are you looking for?Emperor Cha?How many heads of Zhongshuling dare to bring the Ministry of Justice to trouble the emperor?Isn't that full?So now this case has come to an end at this juncture, and no one will go into the reasons why. The eldest princess can only control the two houses of the Senate and the Inspectorate.

The emperor could also see that Fan Jian really wanted to retire. Fan Xian had completely controlled the internal treasury now, and whether he could come back was a matter of ability. In the hands of the princess, Fan Xian has done his best, and there is no problem in retiring his old man and returning home, so this old thing knelt on the ground early at this time, motionless, waiting to be punished, and the only one who could produce ironclad evidence to prove that Fan Jian had no problems , and Chen Pingping, who has problems with the Senate and the Inspectorate, did not come today with diarrhea.

"Just do it like this." When His Majesty finished speaking, the Eldest Princess seemed to be more than 20 years younger.

All the civil and military officials in the hall took a breath, after all, picking up a household secretary is a big deal.

The emperor directly threw the memorial in front of him into the stove in front of him, and the people below were startled.And His Majesty the Emperor said, "Fan Jian, Minister of the Household Department, is old and can no longer hold the position of Minister of the Household Department. He resigns by himself and submits his resignation to the Ministry of Officials. .”

After leaving this sentence, the emperor left the Hall of Supreme Harmony without looking at Fan Jian who was kneeling on the ground.

………………

………………

On the smoky sea, the scuffle has entered a fierce stage. The fighting on both sides has reached the point of exhaustion. The soldiers' arms seem to be unable to lift their long swords and broadswords. With injuries of varying degrees, I hope that there will be a rain to irrigate here, so that they can wake up, and hope that this battle can end, so that they can feel at ease.But this is war, and this is the cruel reality. They must work harder and have more perseverance to get out of here.

Yu Zhenzi led the team from the left to the right and protected Xue Qingan safely. At this time, Yu Zhenzi glanced at Xue Qing, "You are also the strength of the seventh rank, why let them die."

"They are taking revenge, not sending them to death." Xue Qing said, "Revenge has a price, and this is the price. Otherwise, their life will be a kind of suffering. Only when some people die, can the other part bear it hope of survival."

"You are indeed a shrewd person." Yu Zhenzi said, "Fan Xian was wondering if you were really a member of the Overwatch Council the moment before you led someone out."

"In the end, I'm not." Xue Qing smiled, "I'm just His Majesty's."

"It's still His Majesty's man, and he's good at acting." Yu Zhenzi laughed.

Xue Qing didn't speak, and quietly looked not far away. Of the more than 30 maids, there were only less than seven or eight left——

This is undoubtedly a bloody battle.

When Fan Xian stood in the mud and looked at Langtao, although Langtao could hold on, he was out of breath, and Fan Xian was sweating profusely.Sometimes when masters make moves, they will not give the opponent too much space and attacking routes. What they do is actually defend and counterattack. Those who put all their eggs in one basket are desperate, because when you concentrate on one move and hit the air, you will face is death.

So the general moves are all defensive in the beginning of learning.

At the end of the fight, it's all about physical strength.

The fight is the willpower of who can persevere.

But now, the tug-of-war between the two sides has already begun, and they stand still and wait and see what happens. The distance between the two is not far away, and they can reach each other's face in an instant, but neither of them moved, and neither of them took this step first to make some changes. .The two sides stalemate.There was no one at all to break the silence.

"Your Liuyun Sanshou is not home yet." Langtao said.

"Have you seen it?" Fan Xian sneered.

"I haven't seen it before." Langtao said honestly.

"Your Heavenly Law doesn't even reach home," Fan Xian said.

"Have you seen it?" Langtao asked.

"I will!" Fan Xian said.

The two started bickering, because they really couldn't move anymore, and both of them were recovering their physical strength.

At this moment, an arrow shot from the direction of the cabin, and when Fan Xian immediately looked back, he saw Chen Yuanhao holding a bow and looking at Fan Xian angrily!

Missed opportunity!

Fan Xian could only dodge, but Langtao seized the opportunity and grabbed his hands directly forward, ignoring his own life, and grabbed Fan Xian. Fan Xian was already seriously injured. It was tight, but Fan Xian retreated immediately, and at the same time as he retreated, three more arrows were fired from the cabin, approaching Fan Xian's feet. If he stepped on the wrong foot, he might hit three arrows in a row!Fan Xian reacted immediately, directly supporting the ground with one hand, and the moment he jumped back, Langtao was already in front of him.

Under the wind of fists, Fan Xian cannot avoid it!At this time, Fan Xian saw that there was someone behind him!
The island has always been surrounded! The 360-degree siege, before the start of the war, the army had been searching the island. At this time, the soldiers must have come to support the battle ahead. At this time, they just surrounded Fan Xian, who was alone!
Behind, about a thousand people!About ten thousand people!Fan Xian didn't have the time to count how many people were still surrounding him. Instead, solving the situation before him was the most important thing. Fan Xian blocked his body with both hands, and Langtao's fist hit Fan Xian. When Fan Xian was lucky, such an attack made his body fall backward more quickly, while the opponent was still waiting behind, Fan Xian was about to fall into the army at this moment.

Fan Xian twisted his hips in the air, turned around, and rushed straight at the soldiers in front of him. Three or five of them were not as strong as Fan Xian, but they could kill Fan Xian by just standing there and raising their swords, but they were still defeated in the end. Fear, no one is not afraid of death, especially after Fan Xian pulled out the short knife from his boot and threw it on the head of the first person!

People here, spread out!
Fan Xian grabbed the two corpses, endured the impact of the fall, and then took out his dagger from the other's forehead, and then turned his head. Of course, Langtao was happy at this time, so Many people came to kill Fan Xian, and he could also breathe. If Fan Xian could really escape from the hands of thousands of people, he would definitely be in a state where he would not be able to take a single step. If he went to kill Fan Xian again, wouldn't it be Easy?

But the actual situation was that it was impossible for Fan Xian to really go to war with this army. He definitely didn't have the physical strength to continue to withstand their attacks. If this continued, he would definitely be killed by random knives, without any accidents.

I don't know who made the first move, and I don't know who called to kill first. In an instant, everyone rushed towards Fan Xian, and Fan Xian directly put the short sword under his feet into the boot with his backhand, and picked it up with his left and right hands. With a knife and a sword, he was instantly overwhelmed by people, leaving only a little room for him to fight!
Langtao looked at Fan Xian indifferently with his thin face, and folded his hands on his chest.

But at this time, a voice came from above his head.

"You're quite laid back." The voice was extremely nice.

Langtao's ferocious face was revealed in an instant, he had never heard this voice before!He didn't judge the location of the opponent's breath at all!I didn't even feel the other party's presence!
Suddenly turned back.

A person stands on a tree.

Dressed neatly, tied in blue, with a beautiful long sword in his hand, hanging slantingly beside his side, looking up.The man in Tsing Yi slowly raised his head, and the Jiangnan Islands under the light of the fire seemed to be illuminated by this eye.This person's eyebrows are like swords, his eyes are as warm as jade, his lips are thin and slightly pouty, with a hint of sharpness weakened, a little more amiable, his appearance is unusually handsome, but his age is unusually young.

Fan Xian was not born in heaven, this person is the number one beauty.

Looking at the boy, Lang Tao was already shocked.

"I'll give you a chance to pick up those two spinning things of yours and fight with me." The voice of the young man in Tsing Yi was like the tranquility in the waves of the river, moist into the night, cold like wine, swaying on the island On the top, like a touch of purple in a golden sand cup, it is intoxicating.

Langtao rolled forward immediately, and took the double knives in front of him into his hands. At this time, Langtao pressed his feet down, like a hungry wolf preparing to prey. He fixed his eyes on the youth in Tsing Yi above him. , asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

"Great Master Ku He's disciple has been in Beiqi Mountain for a long time, and I don't know anyone, so I naturally understand, but..." The young man in Tsing Yi still didn't make a move, but stood calmly on the top and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time either. Appeared, you don't know me, I don't blame you."

"You want to save Fan Xian?" Langtao asked indifferently.

The young man in Tsing Yi looked sideways. Although Fan Xian was fighting right now, he could hear his voice and see his face clearly. The young man in Tsing Yi said, "It shouldn't be a problem for Mr. Fan to block these soldiers, but you have to block them." If I come to face you again later, it will become a problem. Since I have been ordered by my tutor to come to help, I must do my duty and do not leave any omissions. It seems that I have to kill you quickly before I can help Mr. Fan .”

On this muddy island, the young man in Tsing Yi is like a lotus flower emerging from the mud. His clothes are neat and his face is clean, unlike the wolf peach in front of him, his face is covered with blood.

Langtao smiled, "The tone is really serious."

The young man in Tsing Yi said, "I heard that Langtao is called No. 1 among his generation, the number one warrior in the Northern Qi Dynasty. I want to come today to see how he competes. If that's the case, please make a move."

The young man in Tsing Yi moved extremely fast. When he said that this is the case, his figure had already moved, and when he said, please do it, he had already arrived in front of Langtao!

"Sigu swordsmanship is exquisite. You who have seen Yun Zhilan thought it was Sigu swordsmanship?" While the young man in Tsing Yi was speaking, eight swords had already been stabbed out. Langtao dodged two swords from left and right, and dodged one sword by jumping under his crotch , waving the iron chain with both hands to block two swords, and the two knives meet to block one sword, but the remaining two swords pierced Langtao's left shoulder and right arm almost at the same time!
In an instant, the two chain knives had fallen to the ground.

The young man in Tsing Yi put his sword into its sheath in one go, "Your physical strength and reflexes can no longer keep up. If it is a martial arts competition, I will definitely let you go back to drink tea and rest. One hour applies medicine, another hour eats, another hour changes clothes and cleanses, and another hour sits and lies down." Rest, we will fight again in four hours, but now it is a battlefield, and the so-called battlefield is life and death."

The young man in Tsing Yi sighed, "My teacher, Si Gu Jian, said that Mr. Fan is a handsome man in this world, and he should not be regarded as a subordinate who is against the way of humanity, the way of heaven, or the way of martial arts. Since I want to respect the way, then I will give in a step, please." You pick up your weapon again, let's fight again." After saying that, the young man in Tsing Yi took a step back, getting out of the way of Langtao's weapon.

Lang Tao looked at the young man in Tsing Yi viciously, "Are you Sigu Jian's apprentice? No! Sigu Jian's head apprentice, Yun Zhilan, is dead. You are number one, your strength is far superior to the two of them, you are not Si Gu Jian's apprentice!"

"I am Si Gu Jian's apprentice, will I lie to you? The order of the master cannot be violated, and Master Fan's name cannot be reversed. The master said that from now on, I will be Master Fan's subordinate first, and then I will be Si Gu Jian's apprentice. You It’s not wrong to say that, but you said that Sigu’s swordsmanship, Yin and Yang, and the two swords are true legends, but you’re wrong later on.” The young man in Tsing Yi’s thoughts were pure, and he actually researched whether the other party’s words were wrong after such a life-and-death battle.

"What's wrong?" Langtao crawled forward slowly, trying to pick up the weapon on the ground, but he didn't know whether the opponent really stepped aside or faked it.

"Yin Jian Ming Zhu Xiang's sect is number one, I admit it, Yang Jian and Yun Zhilan's sect is number one, I don't recognize it, come again, have you ever thought that the disciples of the closed sect also know how to use both Yin and Yang swords, it is possible that they can only Cultivate separately? You don’t know that my master is already a person who has mastered both yin and yang swords.” The young man in Tsing Yi laughed, “But before you die, I can tell you that people who know both yin and yang swords in this world will also know I'm with my tutor."

Langtao's eyes narrowed, he looked at the young man in Tsing Yi in front of him, and immediately picked up the long knife in front of him, but he didn't pull it back, but instead used the help of a rush to stab the young man in Tsing Yi's lower body upwards Well, if it was such a stab, the boy's ribs would be severed, and he would definitely die on the spot!

But the young man in Tsing Yi seemed to have seen what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you, and you didn't talk about martial arts, okay, I'll send you on your way over there."

As soon as the good words come out.

The sound of the sword being unsheathed, fight!
Send you on the road when the voice falls.

The boy's entire body had already turned seven times in the air, and when he landed, he had already passed Langtao!
There were thirteen sword marks on Langtao's back!Jianjian is dead!

Langtao stood there trembling, and when blood flowed out from all over his body, "You...you...you...are..."

"I am." The young man put his sword back into its sheath, not a single drop of blood on the green clothes, and said with a smile, "Wang Shisanlang."

The shadow looked at Ming Zhuxiang, the two had occupied a large ship according to the deployment.With a group of soldiers standing on the deck of the cabin, the shadow stood alone at the crossing. If the people behind want to set foot on the link between the warship and the warship, they must go on this deck, and at most two people can walk at the same time. Giving the defense a very large space and convenience, Shadow didn't back down at all, he was able to do anything with ease, while Ming Zhuxiang stood behind him and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid that I will kill you?"

"You won't." Shadow said indifferently.

"Why are you so confident?" Ming Zhuxiang looked at the shadow, "Even if you are a ninth rank, you have the confidence to kill Master, why? I am very surprised."

Shadow didn't speak, his expression was very indifferent.

Ming Zhuxiang shook her head, "Because of you, Fan Xian and Master will never see each other forever."

The shadow's figure shook, and when she turned her head to look, Ming Zhuxiang was no longer in place. Her light figure landed at the back of the cabin, guarding the back of the ship to ensure that the other party would not break into it by force. cabin, while other officers and soldiers were able to breathe.

The boat on the riverside was alone, and the fishing boat seemed to be sober and refined, but the two people above were indeed cautious in fighting each other, as cautious as playing chess with each move. When they reached their strength, no one would In any fight, if you fight recklessly and don't leave yourself a way to retreat, you can only seek your own death.

When Wu Zhu and Ku He pulled apart again, Wu Zhu said calmly, "Langtao may be dead."

"You feel it?" Ku He's face darkened a bit, but he seemed to have accepted this reality.

"I felt that sword energy, and it wasn't Sigu sword." Wu Zhu said.

"I feel it too." Ku He said.

"You haven't." Wu Zhu said indifferently, "You haven't seen Si Gu Jian."

"I didn't." Ku He sighed.

"You lied to me." Wu Zhu's tone was mechanical.

"I didn't lie to you. Although I haven't seen Sigu Sword, I know this sword energy." Ku He said, "I have seen this sword energy back then, but it wasn't Sigu Sword."

Wu Zhu frowned, but didn't speak.

He thought of a person, a woman, a beautiful woman.

Ye Qingmei.

Ku He also seemed to think of a person, a woman, a beautiful woman.

Also Ye Qingmei.

Although the two of them had the same woman in their minds, the appearance and everything in their minds were different.Even the gestures and gestures, the words and deeds are all different.What Ku He seemed to recall was a fairy, a fairy who was born into the world, uncontaminated by the mundane world, and her light-hearted advice pushed him into the ranks of great masters.And what Wu Zhu was thinking in his heart was the girl who claimed to be his old lady and called him Xiaozhuzhu. She was eccentric, and there were more thoughts in her mind than the waves splashed after the torrential rain fell on the sea.

"You're scared." Wu Zhu asked.

"No." Ku He shook his head, "It's just that when one thing is confirmed, you have to give up other things."

"You gave up?" Wu Zhu asked.

"I gave up." Ku He said, "But I am sure that there is nothing wrong with what I have determined."

"Is it related to Fan Xian?" Wu Zhu asked.

"It's a big deal." Ku He sighed, "That's why it was Langtao, not Haitang, who assassinated Fan Xian."

"Hai Tang has a great chance of winning," Wu Zhu said.

"If it were Haitang, Fan Xian's head would be between you and me now." Ku He said, "Fan Xian's problem, like his mother's, is that he values ​​love and righteousness. If he started with love, Fan Xian would have been defeated long ago."

"But you didn't do that." Wu Zhu said.

"I don't have any." Ku He raised his breath, he seemed to be remembering something, his head under the hood was glowing in the night sky, "I don't have Si Gu Jian either, otherwise Wang Shisanlang and Ming Zhuxiang would have already been killed Fan Xian."

"What do you want to do?" Wu Zhu asked.

"You should ask Chen Pingping what she wants to do." Ku He said.

Wu Zhu was silent.

"How did Si Gu Jian's great master come from? You know better than me." Ku He said.

"For the son of an old man, you have to pay for your great apprentice?" Wu Zhu sneered.

"Ye Liuyun only has one apprentice, otherwise Yu Zhenzi would be just a pile of rotten meat." Ku He turned around and looked at the dark river, "From now on, things seem to have been arranged properly."

Wu Zhu didn't understand what Ku He was saying, "Si Gu Jian may be dead."

"No, he won't let himself die." Ku He smiled, "It's just that he's more paranoid than anyone else, and I don't need that loud bang to conclude that Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's. Future generations, and he may have to try his own way to understand, so ah... why is it so hard?"

Wu Zhu looked at Ku He, not knowing why, but the other party walked past him in a flick of his sleeves and left across the sea.

Wu Zhu looked, there was an extra fishing boat on the surface of the sea at some point, and the person rowing on it was a village girl.

The village girl raised her hand, threw out an arrow letter, and then rowed away.

………………

………………

The arrival of the young man in Tsing Yi, Wang Shisanlang, completely shattered the other party's pursuit and interception of Fan Xian. Fan Xian didn't know what the other party's intentions were, but he knew that since this man could kill Langtao, it would be impossible for him to be here. Killing himself, Si Gu Jian is not a fool, since he can do such a thing, he must have his reason, but no one knows what this reason is, I am afraid that the person who knows this secret is not Wang Shisanlang Even now, there is still Ming Zhuxiang concealed. Fan Xian doesn't think about these issues now. What he has to think about is how to deal with the army behind him.

There were still a large number of soldiers on the cabin, and there was a large group of Wuyang Wuyang on the island. When Fan Xian escaped, Wang Shisanlang blocked him from behind, giving Fan Xian a chance to breathe. Galloping at a fast pace, skipping the sea directly, under the moonlight, boarded the hull where the shadow was.

On the other side, Yu Zhenzi took Master Xue Qing, a dozen maids, and a hundred soldiers to occupy a warship, and Wu Ya and Deng Zifei cooperated with the Overwatch Council to also occupy a warship. Three warships and different The merchant ships in the distance are the resources in Fan Xian's hands now, but such resources cannot be wasted at will. It may be even more difficult to flee directly by sailing the ship. After all, there is no contact battle when entering the sea. In the battle between the hulls, if a ship is sunk or hits the rocks, the dead will be exactly one ship's crew. Fan Xian didn't want to take this risk, so he just stood still.

The resistance force is not enough, and if this continues, it will be exhausted. A large number of soldiers surround the sides of the hull. Although the opponent has no generals to continue attacking our soldiers, the opponent is still numerous. Will be wiped out.At the beginning of the war, it was impossible for Fan Xian to skip Wanjun directly like Yang Guo, enter the enemy general's carriage, and take the head of the general. Yang Guo's success was that the opponent didn't know how strong he was, and at this time, Chen Yuanhao and the second prince were surrounded by many people. All kinds of masters, Fan Xian used to be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, not to mention being beheaded directly, there was not a single corpse left behind.

The battle situation suddenly became stalemate, and no one could break the situation.

And not long after this stalemate appeared, Chen Yuanhao moved, he stepped off the hull, stepped off the warship and joined the soldiers below, Fan Xian saw him for the first time, feeling very embarrassed, and At this moment, Shadow stepped back and said to Fan Xian, "They are going to attack us."

"Don't leave! It's too late!" Ming Zhuxiang urged.

Maybe I can only take risks at this moment!

"Rocket!" Chen Yuanhao's voice was extremely loud!At this time, the round of shooting below was all ready, and the arrow wrapped in kerosene was hung on the bow again. At this time, Fan Xian was a living target, and there was nowhere to escape. He gritted his teeth. , Immediately said, "Break the board, set sail!"

"Command!" Shadow immediately said to the soldier beside him, when the soldier turned around to take the helm, there was already a person standing on the steering wheel.

Thirteenth Wang.

He turned the entire rudder directly, and at this time a dozen soldiers ran aside and pulled the anchor up!
But the rocket launched without any hesitation!

Fan Xian sank. He looked at the sky full of rockets and said in a low voice, "I swear to the death! Keep it!"

"Don't worry..." Shadow drew out the dagger in his hand.

The two stepped together, and the moment they jumped up, the thousands of arrows in front of them directly arrived in front of them.

With two people and four hands, it is basically impossible to forcibly hold this boat. They can only do their best, and it will be effective if they do their best!
but……
