Fan Jingming knew that he was carrying a gold medal given by the emperor as if I were here in person, and his words were equivalent to an imperial edict. Seeing that his decision was made, he hurriedly bowed, clasped his fists, and loudly accepted the order.

Because Fan Jingming was raising his hands and clasping his fists, he took a closer look and noticed that a red shaft was exposed in Fan Jingming's sleeve. He often received imperial edicts, and he recognized at a glance that the red shaft was part of the imperial edict.

He was not surprised that Fan Jingming was carrying the imperial edict. He could even guess what was written in the imperial edict. The emperor had previously sent someone to Qingyang to deliver a message to him, and learned that he was not in Qingyang but rushed to Nanhai alone.

After blocking Li Huanchen, he began to worry about his safety. After he, Datou and Yu Yi returned from Nanhai, he did not immediately send Yu Yi to Chang'an to report the battle situation. The emperor was worried that he had died in Nanhai, so he was worried.

Fan Jingming was sent to investigate the situation. Fan Jingming had the imperial edict but did not take it out. This means that this imperial edict will only be used when he has died for his country. If nothing else, the content of the imperial edict should let Fan Jingming take over the celebration.

Yang Bing Quan.

Although he guessed what was written in the imperial edict, he was not dissatisfied with the emperor because he could understand the emperor's mood and sympathize with the emperor's difficulties. The emperor only believed in himself and did not believe in Datou, Li Zhongyong and others.

If he is really gone, the emperor will definitely take Qingyang's 70,000 troops into his own hands.

After a brief pause, he turned to look at Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu, "Second Senior Brother, you stay in Qingyang and provide food and grass for General Fan. You can directly transfer the food and grass used for the Southern Expedition from the Western Region Food Team. You must record the consumption accounts clearly.

, report to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War in a timely manner. Third Brother, you are the deputy commander of the Southern Expedition and will go on the expedition with General Fan."

After the two men nodded in agreement, they looked at Fan Jingming again, "General Fan, we haven't found the white tiger bones needed to protect Luoyang Palace from evil. Next, we have to search in three directions: northwest, due west, and southwest.

White Tiger Spirit Bones, when we find the spirit bones, we will rush to help you immediately, but we can't always follow the team on the southern expedition. I have to rush to Luoyang to pick up the spirit bones.

Lead the troops to attack Zhengzhou on behalf of Zhang Zhenren. Once the war on the western front is over, you will immediately lead the troops to the east and join me."

Fan Jingming looked serious, and at the same time he looked at it with admiration. It was the letter he sent to the Emperor for the first time in secret. He also knew everything that had happened in these years. As a close confidant of the Emperor, no one knew the Emperor better than him.

How serious is his suspicion, and no one knows better than him how capricious the emperor is, but after so many years, he has maintained a close relationship with the emperor, and has always been the emperor's most trusted person. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can do this.

There is only one person.

And the reason why we were able to do this was not through luck, but through being wise and open-minded, and being able to advance and retreat in a measured manner. Let’s not talk about the distance, just take Qingyang Military Power as an example. After guessing the emperor’s concerns, he immediately took the initiative to hand it over.

Qingyang's military power, it is very rare to be able to hand over the military power. The most rare thing is that when handing over the military power, he did it smoothly and without any deliberate intention. After defeating Li Maozhen, he immediately led the troops eastward. This move was equivalent to the loss of Qingyang's 70,000 soldiers.

The soldiers and horses were handed over to the court smoothly.

The explanation was completed, and without further delay, I immediately set off westward with Datou and others.

Da Tou did not drive Miss Bai to fly high, but rode with Shi Xuanming. After leaving the city and walking away, Da Tou said, "My lord, do you believe what Fan Jingming said?"

"What?" he asked casually.

"He said he came to see if he could help in any way. I feel like this was just his excuse," Datou said. "His real purpose should be to see if you are still alive."

He smiled and said, "These are not important."

Yu Yi whispered, "This person is the imperial guard

He is not good at leading troops in battles due to his background. If you entrust Qingyang's troops to him, it will be a blessing or a disaster."

"Good fortune and misfortunes are unpredictable. There are some things we can control, but there are some things we cannot control." Jing Jing said. As early as after talking to Yuren from the far north, he had a vague feeling that his return was not far away. This paragraph

Time has been seizing the time to arrange things after his death. Before that, he had been worried that the imperial court would not be the opponent of those vassal towns after he left, and he also wanted to let Yang Kai take his place. However, after Fan Jingming came to take over the military power of Qingyang,

He gave up this idea. The imperial court did not believe Yang Kai, Datou and others. Since the imperial court did not believe them, there was no need to let them stay. And the reason why he asked Fan Jingming to lead his troops eastward immediately after pacifying Li Maozhen was because

It was also to allow Fan Jingming to take over the military power in Luoyang in the future.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and people like Big Head are not fools if they can get along with each other. Everyone has vaguely noticed that funeral arrangements are being made through some actions in recent times, but they don't want to tell the truth, so as not to make them feel more disappointed.

It was Sishi when everyone set off, heading westward, entering the Gobi in the afternoon, the desert at Shenshi, and in the evening they arrived at the Western Night Kingdom recorded in the Great Wilderness Strange Stories.

Xiye Kingdom is a small country in the Western Region. At its peak, it only had more than 10,000 people. At first, this area was not a desert, but a grassland with lush water and grass. However, now this area has been swallowed up by the endless yellow sand.

It has long been uninhabited, and only the bare city walls made of rammed earth and a ruined wall that have not been completely covered by the yellow sand are left.

Since the cities were all built with rammed earth, there would be no wall inscriptions without stones. There is only one way to find possible scriptures, and that is to explore ancient tombs.

Although he was not good at Feng Shui, he did not understand it at all. When he was watching the stars at night, he quickly found the cemetery of Xiye Kingdom from the north of the city.

<

br> Unlike the deep burials in the Middle Earth, the countries in the Western Regions bury their dead very shallowly, usually no more than seven feet. Everyone on our side has purple energy cultivation, and it is easy to explore the ancient tombs. You only need to extend your spiritual energy.

Just feel it by exploring the ground. If there is space underground, the spiritual energy will feedback.

Most of the tombs that were too small were civilian tombs and had little value for exploration. Only large tombs could contain burial objects. After searching in the middle of the night, everyone selected five large tombs from a large number of ancient tombs. They were said to be large tombs, but in fact they were the largest.

It's only three feet square. This is not Middle-earth after all, and there is no custom of life and death.

Excavation is not troublesome. You only need to remove the sand on top and use spiritual energy to break the top of the tomb. There are no mechanisms in the tomb and there is no aperture. It is clear what is in the tomb.

He did not go to the tomb personally, but just reminded everyone to pay attention to the bamboo slips and the leather paper with writing on it.

Hearing the sound of bronze vessels clanging against each other from the tomb, he warned, "There is no need to inspect the bronze vessels."

"There are inscriptions on it." Shi Xuanming's voice said.

"If there is an inscription, it cannot be the Yiqi Zhenjing," he said. "Although Taishang Laojun attained enlightenment in the Shang Dynasty, his journey westward was in the Spring and Autumn Period. Before that, the Yiqi Zhenjing did not appear in the world."

"How many years have I lived in total?" Big Tou's voice said.

"My life span is one hundred and twenty years old," he replied.

"It seems that the Shang Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period was more than 120 years ago." Datou said.

"More than that, at least more than five hundred years," knowing that Da Tou Duo had misunderstandings, he explained casually, "According to the Taoist scriptures, I am the reincarnation of Taishang Laojun. In addition to me, Taishang Laojun has many incarnations..."

"Found it." Yang Kai's voice.
