June of the first year of Tianyou.

In Luoyang Temple, a month after the funeral of the late Emperor Li Ye, the weather was clear and sunny, and the whole city was under martial law.

Today is the day when the Nine Kings Hui King Li Qi ascended the throne. The martial law has begun for three days. Many troops have been stationed in the city and outside the city. The former sluts and idle men have disappeared during this period. Some people who are blind and blind are met. They are directly arrested as meticulous and thrown into prison for a date.

The huge city is showing the seriousness that has never been seen before. The news of the prince and the nine princes drowning earlier gradually became covered up. Few people talked about it again, and those who occasionally said it were also signaled by their companions.

The galloping war horses entered and exited the imperial city, and the flags were flying in the wind. On the faraway sacrifice platform, the thirteen-year-old Li Zhen finished his prayer and reached out to take the crown handed over Zhu Wen, and the swaying pearl curtain was solemnly worn on his head.

"Your Majesty, you should call the ministers below to finish their rituals."

Zhu Wen's tone was low and solemn. Li Qi looked timidly at the stage, the mother who was already the queen mother in the audience, dragged her thick imperial robe to the stage and raised her arms slightly.

"After all the rituals, follow me to the court."

A crisp voice spread, and the ministers bowed down below responded, following the emperor who followed the altar and walked into the golden hall. The huge dragon chaise was cold, and the young man in the imperial robe sat in the first place, looking at the King of Liang in the dragon court, the timid minister followed and agreed tremblingly. Looking at everything that was strange, his eyes were full of confusion.

Soon, the news of the new emperor ascended the throne spread throughout the Jiuzhou land as fast as possible.

.........

"When I came, I heard that the emperor had changed on the way. Have you heard of it?"

"Who knows now that when I passed by Luzhou half a month ago, I saw the official document posted by the yamen. Now it is King Hui ascended the throne and the treasure."

"You speak quietly, you want to kill me."

On the hot summer day, the cicadas were roaring in the mountains and forests, and they went north from Luzhou to Fenzhou. On the official road of Taiyuan, vendors who traveled south and north rested in wild shops on the roadside. There were also travelers from the three mountains and five mountains gathered to drink a bowl of herbal tea and listened to the rumors of going from south to north.

The man who spoke at last waved his hand and made the people whisper in a low voice at the beginning. After looking around, he was traveling and traveling, he breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a green forest knight next to the table, and he patted the sword on the table, "Look, you are so scared that you are afraid of being heard by the emperor. Even if the government hears it, what if you send troops to capture us?"

The teased vendor saw that he was dressed up and did not dare to get angry.

"This hero doesn't know that Luoyang is so fierce that no one dares to say it. Alas... I heard that the prince and the nine princes died strangely. First, the prince drowned in Jiuquchi, and the nine princes behind him were also buried at the bottom of the lake. How could such a coincidence happen? As soon as his brother died, the nine princes went to the boat to drink and have fun? It's so heartless that they can do it..."

There is never a shortage of gossip people in the world, especially the matters in the royal family, which is even more curious. After the vendor finished speaking, someone from a farther table asked: "I heard what you said, is someone killing the prince and the nine princes?"

None of them are officials here, they are all business travelers traveling north and south. After three miles, no one knows anyone. As soon as they open the conversation, they become a little unscrupulous.

Someone took herbal tea and continued, "Is this a question necessary? Such a coincidence must be someone who secretly made bad things. I think it must be King Liang, and only he can benefit the most."

The knight dressed in Green Forest nodded.

"This is right. The late emperor moved from Chang'an to Luoyang for a long time and was killed by an assassin on the way. And I heard that the assassin was still the confidant of the King of Liang. Even if the assassin was finally killed, it would be difficult to clear the stain of the King of Liang. How long has the prince and the nine princes been to Luoyang? They were killed one after another, which is really unpleasant."

Hiss ~~

The tea shop was full of breathing sounds. Everyone sat in their seats and felt a chill on their backs. How cruel people could do this.

Someone asked in a low voice: "Why is King Liang really careless about doing these things?"

"If you have some concerns, how could you do such a thing?" The man in the green forest snorted coldly, "I don't know that before King Liang joined the army, he was also a hero on the Green Forest Road. The whole family didn't blink. Moreover, the power is now huge, with the fierce generals around him, and there are even help from the left and right."

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. Seeing everyone's expressions, the man in the Green Forest was quite satisfied with this atmosphere. "Scholar Xie Tong followed King Liang for a long time and gave advice. Now he is also conquered Yunzhou and other places. Now there is another rumored by King Liang, who is known as the wading dragon, but on the Green Forest Road, he prefers to call him Mr. Fox."

"Mr. Fox?"

Most of the vendors and travelers around had never heard of this name, and they were stunned.

In my impression, most of the insidious and cunning people who can afford the word "fox" can't help but think of the prince and the nine princes who died strangely. Could it be that Chengdu comes from this Mr. Fox?

It's a kind of strange things about storytellers talking about strange and strange ambitions in the mountains and fields.

"Then Mr. Fox, do you have a great reputation?" Someone couldn't help but ask curiously. The people around him were naturally curious and looked at the man in the green forest, but the latter spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

"I don't know either. I only heard that Mr. Fox is from the north. Later, he went to Chang'an and now lives in a quiet place by King Liang. Few people know that, and perhaps there are other concealments on the surface, but how can we outsiders know this?"

"I don't know, but I know a little."

The sound spread from the corner of the tea shop. Everyone looked at it with a bald man facing away from them, with a burly figure, wearing only a thin single dress, and a wooden pillar beside him leaning against a spear towards the sky.

The man poured herbal tea, wiped off the water droplets from the tip of his beard, looked at the brilliant sky light outside, the swaying branches, as if he was trapped in memory, his voice was low and slowly opened.

"Mr. Fox, who you are talking about, is not only a quiet place, but also holds an important position in the court. He is a high-ranking official. Mr. Huang, who was dominating the world, suffered a secret loss at his hands. Many generals who have experienced many battles were also played with by him. Hum... He even set off a demonic wind in Longyou, bewitching soldiers from all over the country to attack Chang'an, and forcing Emperor Tang Li Ye to flee to Huazhou in a panic... This man likes to play with human desires, but is as timid as a mouse, and cherishes himself."

"Who are you?" Seeing his heavy weapons, the green forest man who spoke before was a little uneasy.

"Some family?"

‘Haha…’ The bald man had a thick voice like matte. He chuckled and finished half of the cake. His burly body rose from the stool, grabbed the long spear leaning against the wooden pillar, turned around, and the pillar with a slit with its handle and tail was on the ground.

"A family once had the honor of fighting with him and fighting with his brothers... The past is gone, and it's time to get it back."

As he spoke, his body turned around, his cheeks were thick, his cheeks were thick, his eyebrows were wide, his eyes were fierce, and his muscles were stretched out with thin clothes, and his chest was covered with black hair.

The green forest guest in front of him held his weapon and suddenly clasped his fists, bowing his head respectfully.

"I've seen the King of Heaven!"

"You and I don't need such traditional Chinese etiquette."

That man was the King Deng who was defeated by Li Cunxiao back then. Now, a few years have passed, his martial arts are still successful, his figure is getting stronger and stronger, and his energy is full of energy, just like the image of the King Deng on the divine platform in the temple, and he is powerful without anger.

Since he came out of the mountain, he has challenged all the experts in the world and has never been defeated. At this time, he has to pick up the defeat he had lost and break the inner demons and martial arts so that he can continue to move forward.

At present, the place he is going to is Taiyuan. If you want to challenge the person who defeated him, you have to face the northern green forest colleagues...

The sky was like clouds, and on the official road in the distance, there were long smoke rolling around. Several fast horses rushed past and rushed into Taiyuan City. Soon they stopped in front of the King of Jin's mansion. The figure who had been dismounted over and threw the reins to his command. They touched the letter in their arms, and felt a little unspeakable happiness on their faces.

This was sent from Luoyang. When he received the letter in the army, he realized that his brother was at the place of King Zhu Wen of Liang. Although he was the master, he was happy after all. After reading the letter, according to the above instructions, his adoptive father became suspicious and chose to come to the city to report the matter to his adoptive father to dispel the other party's doubts.

‘Brother, he was serious about it…I just ran to Zhu Wen for some reason. This person is lustful and erotic and suspicious. Such a person is not worthy of his brother’s assistance.’

After muttering a few words, Li Cunxiao stepped into the mansion with doubts and walked straight in.

At the same time, the adoptive father who was thinking about it was talking to someone in the study room of the backyard. Li Keyong is now older, but his anger remains unabashed. He is furious at the old and young standing below and curses to the south.

"Zhu Wen, this guy, cheated me back then. Before he found this revenge, he helped the new emperor ascended the throne and told the world that Zhao Wen secretly scolded me... His butt was clean? Kill the prince and the nine princes. Even if others don't know, how could I not know that he did it?!"

"This dog thing, the late emperor was stabbed halfway, and it was also his work!"

After fighting for many years, he is in the north again. The tall Li Keyong has become old and his back is not as straight as before. He is slightly hunched and walks back and forth with his hands in his arms. Among the old and young people on both sides below, an old man named Gai Yu closed his eyes and touched the long beard under his chin.

"There is no point in King Jin, it is said that he has such nameless fire. Now that Zhu Wen has occupied the emperor, he has the name of becoming a master of his army. We should be careful. Recently, there have been rumors outside, but I have been pressed by someone."

Li Keyong stopped and frowned: "What's the wind?"

The old man wanted to say it, but the young man named Li Siyuan spoke first.

"You have reported to your adoptive father, the child has found out that the news came from Huazhou, and the other party will use a plan of discord."

"What's the wind?!"

Li Keyong repeated, glaring at him. As he got older, his temper became extremely unstable and he was equally strict with his adopted son.

Li Siyuan looked at the old man and hesitated for a moment.

"The adoptive father is about Mr. Geng. It is rumored that Mr. Geng served as King Liang in the court and was in charge of Luoyang."

Li Keyong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, raised his hand and waved it.

"Haha...what do I do."

His hands were lowered and he took them back. With a smile, his palms were flexed tightly, and his palms turned white. In an instant, a guard outside the door came over and reported outside.

"You are reporting to King Jin, General Feihu is looking for a meeting outside."
