Chapter 275 Lying and listening to the wind and rain

The cold raindrops hit the banana leaves outside the window. On the table in the study, two red candles spewed fragrant flames. The flames about inch long swayed in the autumn wind that penetrated through the gaps in the window, jumping, very lively. A pink parrot drooped with his eyelids and stood on a golden frame, and his head hit the window bit by bit, and he had already fallen asleep. A slender and powerful hand, as thin as bamboo, gently stroked the little parrot's hair, but did not disturb it at all.

There was a room full of people sitting in the study, tall, short, fat, and thin. Li Jinglong, Xie Jin, Ru Taisu, etc. were all senior officials of the dynasty. However, except for Li Jinglong, the others were all civil officials, and the study was also located in Li Jinglong's backyard. This parrot was also Li Jinglong's favorite. At this moment, he was watching Ru Taisu touching the parrot's hand with a little worried, for fear that he would wake it up.

The room was very quiet and no one spoke. After a long time, Xie Jin asked carefully: "Duke Li, is this study safe?"

Li Jinglong smiled slightly, nodded, and whispered: "Don't worry, the Grand Secretary, I have arranged hundreds of master guards outside this study, and no one can get close to them. Those guards were also ordered to be strictly prohibited from approaching within five feet of the study. In addition, the wind and rain outside are strong, outsiders will never know what we say." He laughed a few times and shook his head, "Unless Lu Feng can have great magical powers that can come in invisibly, the Jinyiwei will not know what you all said tonight."

Li Jinglong smiled proudly, gently stroked his beard with his fingers with a huge ring, and continued: "There may be people from the Jinyiwei among the guards, but they cannot get close to the study. What can I do if I can do it? Even if Lu Feng reported to His Majesty that we had a private party, what is the crime? We recite poems and write wine and enjoy flowers. This is a pastime for gentlemen. Could it be that his Jinyiwei still cares about these things? All the greats are civil officials. Is Your Majesty still afraid that you will gather together to rebel?"

Ru Taisu smiled a few times, shrank his hand back, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of the tea, saying, "This is the truth. When the civil officials gathered together, your Majesty will not be suspicious of us. Well, just say that Lord Li has obtained an ancient painting "The King of Heavenly Sends a Son", and we are invited to appreciate it. The guards outside the room are just to prevent the sluts in the world, not to prevent him from being a Jinyiwei." Ru Taisu laughed loudly.

Li Jinglong frowned and shook his head, "Mr. Ru, there is no "Picture of the King of Heavenly Sending a Son" here. If His Majesty asks, how should Li deal with it?"

Ru Taisu's face was calm and casually grabbed a slender black cloth bag from the edge of her legs, took out a scroll from it and handed it to Li Jinglong. "Don't worry, since I said that, there is a reason for me. This painting was obtained by me unintentionally recently, and it happened to be given to Lord Li to hand over to Your Majesty." After a pause, Ru Taisu said seriously: "However, after dealing with Your Majesty, this painting will be returned to me. Well, Lord Li will say that he lost with Ru's host, and the bet is this scroll, is it good?"

Xie Jin and the others' faces suddenly became relaxed and they kept saying goodbye. At that moment, they placed the scroll randomly on the desk, and a group of people gathered together. Just as they were about to say something, they suddenly closed their mouths at the same time. Looking at the people on both sides, everyone smiled awkwardly and shook their heads. Finally, Li Jinglong was a little bolder and sighed: "Sir, what do you think about Your Majesty's move to the capital this time?"

Xie Jin immediately shouted: "This matter must not be done. Yingtian Mansion is the capital chosen by Emperor Taizu, the government offices and the national treasury granary are all here. Especially after years of maintenance, Yingtian Mansion is already the number one city in the world. How much manpower and material resources will be spent to move the capital to Beiping City? What's more, Yingtian Mansion is the heart of the people of the world, and Beiping Mansion is a small border town. How can it be the capital of the country? This matter must not be done."

Another Grand Secretary quickly agreed to Xie Jin's words: "This is the most true saying, the Taimiao artifacts are all in Yingtian. If the capital is moved, the country will be shaken."

Ru Taisu also frowned repeatedly: "Not mentioning these, just say that the capital is moved. There are many big and big things, and there are many things. If someone commits personal gain, wouldn't it be a big disaster? You must not make a decision easily. All officials are in Yingtian Mansion. Which one should they move first? Which one should they move later? If the case scroll is lost, what should they do? Especially in Jiangnan, there are many wealthy families, who would want to go to the bitter and cold land in the north? I am afraid that few people in the family of the officials are willing to leave the flower world of Yingtian Mansion? In this way, you have to carefully calculate..."

Xie Jin looked at Ru Taisu with dissatisfaction: "Shangshu Ru, this is not about how to move the capital, but it should never move the capital. What are you thinking about how to move the capital? In short, we just want to tell the emperor that this capital must not be moved." Xie Jin's thin face was exposed, which was very unfair for Ru Taisu's words just now. Two blue veins were pulled on his neck, and he accused him righteously: "The emperor said he wanted to move the capital, which was because he accidentally made a wrong decision. But Lord Ru actually said that it was absolutely impossible to consider moving the capital."

He said with great reason: "The movement of the capital is a mess. As a minister, I cannot give his advice to His Majesty and let him dispel this idea. Instead, I say that I should make careful calculations. What is this?"

Ru Taisu smiled and did not argue with Xie Jin. He knew what Xie Jin had among those scholars. He could not afford to provoke this old man. Ru Taisu did not say that he would support the emperor to move the capital, but that if he wanted to move the capital, he needed to carefully consider it. Why did he insist that he supported the moving capital? Hey, these old civil officials were indeed stones in the pit. Thinking of this, Ru Taisu's mouth bent slightly, revealing a strange smile.

Seeing Xie Jin's passionate remarks, the other officials were also excited. More than a dozen old men were there, accusing the wrong move of the capital, saying that any move would shake the foundation of the country, shock the people of the world, make the anger of the heavens, and make the ancestors and ancestors uneasy, not in line with the ethics of heaven, and not in line with the ways of the saints... In short, countless crimes they could think of were deducted to the capital.

However, no civil officials proposed how to make Zhu Di give up the plan to move the capital. They were just accusing them, but they were just indignant attacks, but they just didn't know how to propose a solution. They could not clearly propose a solution to the problem of war in the north. But Xie Jin and the others were so energetic, thinking that they were the protection of the people of the world and the protection of the gods, thinking that they were like the barrier of the Ming Dynasty, and saliva continued to splash wildly and commented and condemned.

Li Jinglong yawned gently, and he was very skillful to prevent these old guys from discovering it. Ru Taisu drooped her head, picked up the teacup and kept pouring tea into her stomach, and she was too lazy to pay attention to these old men. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time. Do they know these old ministers, the only way to stop Zhu Di from moving the capital was to solve the threat of Yuanmeng in the north and the Jurchen. If these nomadic barbarians could be wiped out, as for Zhu Di wanted to turn Beiping into a capital city and accumulate a million troops there?

Shaking his head, Li Jinglong muttered: "Empty talk will ruin the country...a group of old plagues." He looked at the old men with a little disdain, picked up the teapot, and went out to change the tea himself. Now the court officials all know that the Jinyiwei's staff had been placed in their private rooms, and maybe his concubines and even his wife might be secret spies of the Jinyiwei. Li Jinglong dared not take the risk and asked those "loyal" old people who had followed him for decades to come to the study to serve tea and water. These old guys criticized Zhu Di's words, even if they missed a word, they would probably have hundreds of heads landed on the ground.

A small charcoal stove was just in the shelter in the corridor outside the door, and another brass kettle was steaming on it. Li Jinglong smiled and took the teapot to the charcoal stove, grabbed the kettle and stored water in it. He listened carefully to the more excited remarks in the study, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "These old guys, no wonder they drink tea so quickly, and their saliva is consumed too quickly. It's a pity that I treasure the Dahongpao of Wuyi Mountain... Oh, am I sick? Why are I giving them such good tea? Now even if you use willow leaves to mix into tea, I'm afraid Xie Jin and the others can't tell it?"

He shook his head with some regrets and looked at the tea leaves in the teapot. Li Jinglong struggled for a long time and added boiling water. "Unfortunate, this tea leaves must be soaked in small cups to be worthy of its value. Now that it is a waste to soak in a pot like this... Alas!"

Just as Li Jinglong sighed, he suddenly heard a strange 'ah~~~' sound in his ear, as if someone was yawning. The direction of the sound was coming was the top of his head, only two or three meters away. Li Jinglong's heart twitched suddenly: "Damn it, how do you guard those useless wastes? I don't know if other experts get in?"

He raised his head suddenly, and the innate true energy in Li Jinglong's body surged wildly. He shouted loudly and slashed in the direction of the sound. When the palm wind made his move, Li Jinglong's five fingers slightly separated, his claws were in his heart, and there was a faint red light on his fingers. This was Li Jinglong's secret skill "Heart-eating Claw".

The red palm wind shattered the boss' eaves with a strange whistle sound of "woof" and two black figures floated high. One of them yelled anger: "Damn it, stinky monk, you are all yawning, now it's fine, someone has discovered it, right!"

A light roar came out in the study, and Ru Taisu's body floated out like blue smoke. His hand raised, and he didn't know what weapon he used. Tens of thousands of silver lights flew out with the sound of "hissing" through the air. The thinner one among the two black shadows suddenly flew out of the hand, and knocked it a few times in the air. A crisp sound of "ding ding dangdang" was heard. Ru Taisu's body trembled violently a few times, and the silver light flew back to his hand and disappeared without a trace.

Li Jinglong's eyes burst into divine light and shouted: "Two friends, stay." His hand turned around his waist, and a soft sword made of red steel appeared in his hand. In the sound of breaking through the air, countless innate sword energy seemed like blue lightning, surrounding the two black shadows in the air. As the sword wind roared, the roof of half of the study was split into pieces, and the broken bricks and tiles were beaten randomly, making Xie Jin and the others scream.

The man in black, whose face was covered with black veil and whose head was bare, had several ring scars exposed, suddenly stagnated in the air. His chest expanded three times the size of his usual ones, and then a huge roar rang throughout the backyard. Countless raindrops were stimulated by sound waves, and shot towards Li Jinglong like arrows. A circle of tangible sound waves carried countless raindrops, like a white angry dragon, roaring towards Li Jinglong's chest.

The man in black, who was slightly slim, smiled and a yellow light appeared in his hand, hitting Ru Taisu, who was standing in place to regulate his breathing. Ru Taisu had no choice but to forcefully suppress the blood tumbling in his heart and moved three feet behind. Suddenly, he could no longer control the blood qi that had just been oscillated, and a mouthful of blood was sprayed out. However, the yellow light was extremely domineering, and smashed a hole with a diameter of three feet and a depth of five or six feet on the ground.

When Li Jinglong saw the water dragon pounced over, he couldn't help but feel a burst of heart. The continuous sword energy quickly laid a nine-layer sword net in front of him. With the sound of "hissing", countless incoming water beads bounced back first, but Li Jinglong's sword net was also broken for seven layers. Then the water dragon roared over, and the remaining two layers of sword net were broken like a destruction. The water dragon gently pressed Li Jinglong's chest and disappeared immediately.

Li Jinglong was so big that he had a muddy sound, and he was smashed into the mud pond in the yard with water. With a 'slam', the eldest and the Duke struggled randomly in the mud pit like loaches, and could not get up for a long time. Li Jinglong roared anger: "What are you dead people doing?" As he roared, countless sharp whistles sounded around, and the master guards of the Li family flew over.

The two men in black screamed a few times, such as "So good to be good" and twisted their bodies and turned into two faint smoke shadows. With a sudden burst of autumn wind, the flowing light flew out two hundred feet away in an instant. The master guards of the Li family were stunned and could not speak for a long time. A few of them were still yelling and chasing, but they had just jumped out of the wall, and they didn't know where the two black shadows had flew.

After a long time, Ru Taisu's white face finally returned to normal. He suddenly opened his eyes and made a vicious voice in his mouth: "What a strong true energy, that person's strong true energy, this is the first time my Feiying Sword has been broken so easily. Who are they? Who are they?" He looked at Xie Jin and others who were stunned at the door of the study with a little impatiently, and a ball of air conditioning spurted out of his nose.

Li Jinglong finally climbed out of the mud pit on the ground. He walked out of the study with a mud and looked at the cracked clothes on his chest with a wry smile. "They don't have the idea of ​​taking our lives, otherwise they could easily take our heads... Lord Ru, you are just a little shaken in your inner organs, and I am just being beaten to the ground and wrapped in mud... Their skills are really unfathomable. I, Li Jinglong, are some innate masters, but they..."

Ru Taisu and Li Jinglong couldn't speak. The skills of these two men in black were really shocked. Li Jinglong no longer had the intention to punish those guards. Two terrifying figures who could easily defeat the innate masters, how could these guards detect their movements?

Xie Jin looked at Ru Taisu and Li Jinglong's embarrassing appearance, and after a while, he asked tremblingly: "Two sirs, who are they?... Hey, didn't you say there are more than a hundred master guards nearby? Why did they even get in?" Xie Jin's forehead was hit by a brick, and it was now showing a red light.

Ru Taisu looked at him angrily and said nothing. Explaining martial arts to these civil officials was a matter of asking for trouble. Li Jinglong looked at Xie Jin and the others with a serious expression and said in a low voice: "Sir, you'd better go to the palace overnight to see Your Majesty. If Li was not wrong, they should be the masters and secret agents of the Jinyiwei... But when did the Jinyiwei recruit such a terrible master? Hey, hey, in this way, the power of their Jinyiwei is not..." Li Jinglong's face was very serious.

In the lobby of the Jinyiwei headquarters, Lu Feng, who was holding a white little flower pig in his arms, gently patted the pig in his arms, and pulled off the last pig hair on its body with feminine force, and handed it to Lin Shi next to him, saying, "Well, go, wash the pig clean and roast it into a beggar pig. I want to see, is this carefully selected suckling pig that is not as good as the two pigeons of the old monster?... Humph, he actually secretly slaughtered the pigeon used by the Ministry of War to convey military information. He is capable."

Lin Shi walked out with a strange smile on his face and hugged the pig. Then Lu Feng asked Bai Xiaoyi and Bajie in black, "Okay, what good things did you hear today?"

Bajie tilted his head and said nothing, while Bai Xiaoyi accused loudly: "I heard a group of old guys scolding Emperor Bei there... I could have listened for a while, but the pig-headed monk yawned and was discovered by Li Jinglong... But to be honest, his kung fu is also amazing. If we don't use magic, we really can't escape the joining forces between him and Ru Taisu."

Bajie complained angrily: "I can't blame me for this. Those old guys are not good at cursing people. They always say that the emperor does not abide by the family rules of the ancestors. Damn, they have only been two or three generations of the country. What about the family rules of the ancestors? A group of old men who are immortal, hum, an old men who are immortal is called thieves, Xie Jin and the others are just a group of old men... Can't they scold anything new? For example, what... hehe, the emperor takes off the ashes?"

Lu Feng almost turned his nose aside. Xie Jin and the others were Grand Secretary. Can they curse such vulgar words? And the emperor, there is no need for the emperor to expose the ashes?

Just as he was about to teach these two guys a lesson, the cultivation of mind and nature ran back laughing. Xiu said proudly: "Boss, the Minister of Justice tortures the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison. The Minister of Justice Zhao, who you want us to pay attention to, is shopping in the brothel. As for the Minister of War, he has not colluded with outsiders and has been doing business with his newly married concubine all night."

Yangxing said with a respectful look on his face: "I didn't expect that he is so old and has such good physical strength. Tsk tsk, those postures on the bed... Hey, monk, do you have the Dharma of dual cultivation from time to time?" Yangxing's eyes could be described as vicious. Monk Bajie was too lazy to pay attention to him, hugged one leg and hummed the love words there.

Lu Feng looked at these guys helplessly, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Forget it, you will be damaging those ministers to death. Humph, cultivate your mind and cultivate your nature. Do you like to see other ministers doing things? Okay, tomorrow I will invite you a master of painting to come, and even those ministers like to use to do things will be painted for me." He looked at the Si Xiao angrily, and Lu Feng ordered: "From tomorrow, each of you will bring a hundred Huanglongmen disciples to work at night, inside and outside Yingtian Mansion, even if you are rats stealing rice, you will be sure to catch me."

With his eyes narrowed and leaned on the back of the chair, Lu Feng said in a low voice: "Our boss was driven back to Yanjing again... Oh, Beiping City went to take care of military affairs and government affairs. Little Lizi also brought the group of masters from the East Factory to go there. We are the only ones in Yingtian Mansion. Keep a close eye on me, especially the people sent by the Second and Third Princesses in their palaces. At least ten of us should be staring behind each person. What they did, what they said, and which girl they were looking for at night, I have all remembered clearly."

After hitting his fingers on the armrest of the chair, Lu Feng warned them seriously: "The kitten is going south to supervise military affairs. The old man of Shui has been mingling with the group of officials and Taoists all day long. Now the four of you are willing to work. Don't let me down... Don't be afraid that the Second Prince and the others will rebel, but they are afraid that they will collude and kill hundreds of our gang members. That's what we can't afford to lose. Do you understand?"
