The enemy's traces have been hidden. Ming Jin knows that with the opponent's martial arts and the power of the person behind him who has hidden the imperial court, it will be easy for them to break through the capital blockade, and she is not a member of the imperial court and cannot intervene.
Ming Jin's eyebrows were deep and he looked into the distance without saying a word for a long time. In the eyes of many people, this scene seemed like something that could be painted into a painting.
But when he saw the imperial army and patrol battalion troops running around the city searching, Ming Jin withdrew his gaze, sheathed his sword, and turned back to take a deep look at Xie Zhai.
I seemed to see the bright moon in the attic, and also saw Ming Dai being asked about her well-being by Mrs. Xu and others in the courtyard below.
"Second Miss Xie, what happened today..." Su Shenzhi came to inquire with a concerned look, and was about to tell the story about Xie Mingdai and the remnants of the cult, but Ming Jin cut him off and said: "In order to draw out
The cult hid two traitors in the imperial court of Zhao State. In order to maintain the stability of the imperial court, my sister tried her best and would rather sacrifice her reputation. I didn’t agree with it at first, but it would have been to scare the snake away. In addition, there was no conclusive evidence, so in the end, she could only do it under the arrangement of the imperial court.
I agreed to give it a try, but fortunately the result is indeed as I suspected before, these two people are evil."
"However, this secret is only known to the emperor and the relevant cabinet ministers. It is a decision made by the imperial court and a long-term plan to destroy the evil cult. Mr. Su, doesn't he know?"
She cut off the Xie family in one breath and earned Ming Dai a good reputation and credit. In the future, no one would dare to say anything when they mentioned her embarrassment today. Otherwise, they would be doubting the court's decision and disobeying the country.
loyalty.
But nothing can be left to Xie Mingjin to do whatever he says.
Ming Dai was surprised when she was so upright and upright, but she was also worried that Ming Jin would get into trouble. However, Ming Yue, who had already come down, held her shoulders. Ming Dai looked at the other party, and the other party gave her a look.
The court will acquiesce in this matter.
Why?
For the sake of face.
Two of the three talented men, the two young ministers who were highly praised and trained by the imperial court were actually disciples of a cult. One of them would be slapped in the face, let alone two of them at once!
If this spreads out, the face of the king and the court will be lost.
Therefore, when Ming Jin mentions the court's arrangements, it will give the impression that the court has already broken through the two men's pretense and is just waiting to catch the turtle in the jar (although they did not catch it).
Anyway, she was sure that the court would not deny it, not to mention that she didn't want much, it was just to protect Mingdai's reputation and not affect her future future.
The court would not care, after all, Ming Dai is not as sensitive about her identity.
Xie Mingrong saw through it, and Su Shenzhi naturally saw through it too, secretly thinking that if this woman were a man, she might not be able to do anything without him, Su Shenzhi.
"I see. No wonder we are so fully prepared today. The Imperial Army came so quickly. I'm afraid even Mr. Li was already prepared."
"This is the court's preparation. I don't know. Does Mr. Su have anything else to ask?"
"No, I won't delay Ms. Xie's reunion with her relatives."
Su Shenzhi finally wanted to stab Mingzhen, showing the attitude of a gentleman and an upright person.
But with Xu Qiu Bai Zhuyu in front of him, this man's hypocrisy seems disgusting.
Especially Ming Dai and others, they don't like anything about him.
The pretty boy, he is indeed a pretty boy. Is it natural for our young master of the Xie family to attract a hypocritical pretty boy?
Ming Jin ignored Su Shenzhi, but didn't say anything to the Xie family. Instead, he went to find Li Baiyi first.
Mingyue's face suddenly fell.
"That pretty girl named Xie has revealed her true colors. Did she leave her sister behind to find someone else again?"
It was rare that Ming Rong didn't scold her.
——————
In the pavilion, Li Baiyi had put away the flute and watched Ming Jin jump in.
"Senior Qin is gone?"
"Well, now that she's gone, you have to go to our building to thank her in person someday. It just so happens that we can have dinner with you."
The love is evident.
Ming Jin was slightly surprised, then smiled, "Well, I will definitely go next time."
"Next time? Are you going to chase the people from Guangling Valley?"
Li Baiyi didn't know how to let the tiger return to the mountain, but Guangling Valley has always been secretive, and the owner of the valley has actually reached the realm of supreme goodness like water.
That is definitely not something they can deal with.
"No, I'm not that stupid yet, but I still don't understand what the purpose of the two of them was to ambush me and Mingdai respectively, to threaten me with Mingdai and to threaten my father with me? What conspiracy was involved?
, unknown and unsettling.”
She seemed to be asking herself, Li Baiyi thought for a moment and said: "Maybe their purpose is very simple and not that complicated."
Ming Jin was stunned for a moment and thought thoughtfully: "Lust?"
She asked seriously, but Li Baiyi herself felt embarrassed, "No, I don't mean that, I mean... they may simply want you to suffer."
You are, of course, her, Xie Mingjin and Xie Yuan.
Ming Jin seemed to be touched. He calmed down and meditated, but his eyes widened to Xie's house.
"You previously sent me a message saying that Zhuang Gu might be a master of playing poison, so I asked the master to pass the flute music to me, but she also said that people who play poison have always been extremely minded, because the way to raise poison is inherently
To the extreme, he foiled your plan this time and almost died. I am afraid he is extremely angry, so you should be extremely careful. However, you should not only be careful about your sister, but you must also be careful about your own safety."
Ming Jin nodded solemnly, but only those who have been thieves for thousands of years have not been able to guard against thieves for thousands of years. If Guangling Valley is not solved, her younger brothers and sisters will always be in danger.
But that Valley Master is as good as water, and it is indeed beyond her ability to resist now.
Unless, wait until she reaches that state.
"If you want to reach it earlier, you can come to our White Sword and Snow Tower more often and spend more time in the Tibetan Library. Master has been in seclusion for four years, but he can always teach you."
Li Baiyi's words would cause uproar in the ears of any martial artist. When did the gate of Baiyi Jianxue Tower become so easy to enter?
"I seem to remember that the rules of your building are not to involve court politics or royal families, but only to be close to the king."
Ming Jin felt a little strange, but he also thought about Li Baiyi and didn't want him to make the king unhappy because of him.
"You are not from the court, you are from the martial arts world."
Li Baiyi said this and added, "The master said so."
The Xie family and Xie Yuan were tied up by too many people, good and bad, and they all came to her. Even if she had been wandering outside for four years, she still could not be independent. It seemed that she had been trapped in that world all her life.
But now someone has distinguished her.
Wulin people.
How nice.
"Well, I will definitely go there tomorrow, but now, I need to meet four people."
"Okay, but I have to go back to the palace."
Both of them had people they wanted to see, and they were about to separate when they heard horses galloping in the busy streets of the capital. This was not a cavalry arresting someone from a cult, but an urgent report from the border.
Ming Jin looked at the flag raised high by the man on the horse, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
There are enemies outside the territory.
——————
The United Nations outside the Great Wall is in dire straits.
Dahuangguo had no intention of abiding by the agreement he had made before, and he did not care about Chi She's life or death. He had planned to unite with the people outside the Great Wall. However, Ming Lu sent envoys to Zhao State to negotiate peace, but he contacted the people outside the Great Wall privately...
The State of Zhao was furious, but the combined strength of the two parties was no small matter. The main force was stragglers outside the Great Wall, who wandered outside the plains at the northern and southern foothills of Zhao State all year round. If they engaged in guerrilla warfare and harassment, they would unintentionally distract the Zhao State's troops, which would be a fatal danger.
The Zhao Kingdom court was extremely anxious. When Li Baiyi arrived at the palace, the king and the courtiers held a court meeting. It was said that dinner was all settled in the palace.
At this time, Ming Jin also met the four Ming Rong people in the hunting garden under the Xie family but not in the mansion.
Outside the greenhouse, Xie Zhipuru was a soy sauce worker, and he was still holding the hand stoves and robes of his three sisters in his hands, but his brows no longer had the irritability and coldness of the young boy before, and he could wait patiently.
In the house, Xie Mingyue wanted to obey her sister's annoying words of reunion after a long absence several times and burst into tears (of course Ming Jin missed her deeply.), but Ming Rong and Ming Dai did not give her a chance, and mentioned the border war as soon as they met.
.
"That is a matter between the imperial court and the military, but there may be marriages in the future, not necessarily limited to the clan girls, but suitable ones will be selected." As a married woman, Mingrong was naturally not worried, but she looked at several
younger sister.
The so-called appropriateness means that you don't feel bad if you sacrifice, and it does not affect the interests of the royal family and the court, but it can affect the war to a certain extent.
Mingyue: "My status is humble."
Ming Dai: "Is it Ming Jin again? Those veteran ministers in the cabinet are so mean. They use her to threaten the uncle again and again..."
Ming Rong: "No, it could be you this time."
Mingdai: "???"
Two days later, someone in the court indeed proposed Xie Mingdai, not Su Shenzhi, but a member of Su Shenzhi's party.
But it was quickly refuted, because Xie Mingdai had already negotiated with the banker, and her engagement with the banker was still there, and it was only half a ceremony. She said that the real banker was unlucky, and was planning to change her identity for a cult person, but the banker’s parents
Poor, sad to lose her beloved son, Xie Mingdai is willing to keep half of her daughter-in-law's filial piety...
It's hard for the court to mention this kind of reason. After all, even if they don't mind, the people outside the Great Wall will be annoyed by their sincerity.
"Such a reason, isn't it just a shirk?"
"It's not that the banker and his wife learned that their son was plotting for a cult... Although they were shocked and painful, they did discuss it with the Xie family."
Ming Jin did a lot of work, and the Zhuang family was grieved. In order to guard the door, the Zhuang family was implicated in a cult and was severely investigated by the court, so they could only hug the Xie family's lap, so the Zhuang family accepted their grief and made a decision immediately
, after all, they not only have one son, but also several children.
For the long term, they must agree to Ming Jin's proposal.
Only then did Mingdai escape, but this was what Mingrong and Mingjin had expected. They guessed that the court's real purpose was...
"If we want to fight on the border, we must take back military power, including the Wujia Army. If we don't hand over power, we will abandon the safety of the country and ignore it."
This is a matter of no choice, so what would Xie Yuan choose?
Kill those who suggest it? Or use another force to force others to submit? Or will they really go to the border to fight?
"Uncle/Father, his edict should have reached the court."
However, Mingrong and Mingjin had different opinions on how to choose him. Mingrong's attitude was that Xie Yuan would further propose to take over all military power and fight for the leader.
To attack and defeat the enemy, this is the domineering spirit that the Xie family should have.
However, Ming Jin felt that Xie Yuan would hand over the military power of the Wujia Army, but appoint his confidants to take charge on his behalf, and he would also further demand the power of commander.
In fact, the two people's speculations are similar, the only difference lies in whether they are willing to go to the border.
Mingjin's guess is - he refuses.
She believed that her father had a purpose. In order to maintain the supreme power and protect the interests of the family, he could give up everything, but the premise was that he could not die.
Going to the frontier in this battle is tantamount to putting oneself in danger. There are traps waiting for him both inside and outside.
How could someone as cautious and cruel as him go?
But the two sisters did not quarrel, and the result would come out sooner or later anyway.
Sure enough, three days later, Ming Jin received the news - the king personally announced that Xie Yuan had been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the garrison, and asked him to rush to the frontier while he was in Jiaocheng.
On this day, there was lightning and thunder, and a heavy rain had arrived.
Ming Jin, who stood in the windy attic, was silent for a long time and said: "Sister, this is the first time I have lost to you."
Ming Rong looked back at her, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Probably because he is just my uncle, not my father, so I can treat him as an equal."
Ming Jin smiled bitterly, leaned against the pillar, and looked at the heavy rain outside, "Sister, do you think I am prejudiced against him?"
"No, you are tolerant enough. It's just that this world is too dangerous... Where are you going next? The White Sword and Snow Tower. I hope you go. It's best to come out in three to five years."
After a pause, Mingrong said: "It's also okay to be a butterfly lover."
Ming Jin knows that she is not the only one in the Xie family who is afraid of this precarious position at the pinnacle of power.
The Xie family is already at the forefront of the storm.
She makes plans for the Xie brothers and sisters, and there is also an elder sister who is willing to make plans for her.
"I have done what I can, please help me look after the little ones... don't run around. Whenever there is a big disaster, as long as I hold on to the glorious door that our ancestors have built for us, I will still be safe.
You have the ability to turn the tide, so you must hold on."
Ming Jin's eyebrows showed determination, he turned around and jumped down.
In the pouring rain, Ming Rong saw her getting on the horse, and he smiled brightly at her while being soaked by the rain, and then resolutely led his men to rush out of the city.
Ming Rong actually didn't know what she was going to do, but she expected to kill the hidden danger.
Let the disasters of the future be less united and less powerful.
Ming Rong pondered for a long time, looking down at the token held in the palm of his sleeve.
This token was given to him by Bi Er not long ago.
That day, she knew that her uncle had a plan.
It's just that she doesn't know the details and direction yet, but she thinks it's either related to the Xie family or Mingjin.
Choose one of the two?
After the three people in Guanglinggu escaped from the capital, they were skinned and seriously injured and were carried off. But Xu Qiubai looked up and saw his master looking at him gloomily.
He didn't speak, just stood there.
"come over."
Xu Qiubai walked over, but was suddenly grabbed by the throat by the owner of Guangling Valley with his eagle-claw-like palm.
He was pulled to him alive.
Xu Qiubai's face showed fear, "Master..."
"I see you have a lot of admiration for that daughter of the Xie family."
Xu Qiubai frowned and held back a little, "It's just acting."
"You've already been exposed, and you're still acting?"
"Xie Mingjin is arrogant, just like her mother, and has an inner rebelliousness. If I was obsessed with her, she would disdain her. She would find it strange that I was calculating and not obsessed with her. That day she lost her mind and actually
If you allow me to talk nonsense, it means that she was affected, although it is very small, but... it is better than nothing."
"Oh, can I still be bewitched by you and steal the Yuan Dan? Or will I tell you the secret of the unity of heaven and man? Or will I entrust the true foundation of the Xie family to me?"
The owner of the valley was very sarcastic.
The tone is dangerous.
Xu Qiubai lowered her eyes and said, "It's not enough for her to do anything, but it's enough for me to understand her weaknesses and do something to her."
"Master, I have already made arrangements."
"The two most powerful generations of the Xie family. If you destroy one, you will destroy the other. Do you trust me?"
Xu Qiubai's face was weak, and his eyes were full of longing and prayer.
The Valley Master looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and gently touched his cheek...
"Alu, of course I believe you."
"After all, no one understands your hatred for the Xie family better than me."
"Making you so humiliated and painful..."
His hand went down and Xu Qiubai closed his eyes.
Out of sight of the Valley Master, he stared blankly at the flickering candlelight opposite.
