Kyoto, Tenlao.
After Lao Zhou realized that the other party was the Xiantian Grand Master, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to see Liang Sheng's appearance at all.
Liang Sheng couldn't help but nodded when he saw this. I am not alone in my way. The other party is indeed a smart man. He is worthy of being the "Old Demon of Blood Prison" who has endured for a long time in Tianlao.
"I want to take someone away today. Do you know where Zheng Wanchun's infant grandson is being held now?"
When Lao Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. This master didn't just come to kill him, but he just wanted to take away a baby.
He stood up quickly, but at this time he still lowered his head, not daring to see Liang Sheng's appearance, and led the way directly in front.
"Senior, please come with me."
He did not shirk or explain, he just wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible. After all, if a baby was lost in Tianlao, what did it have to do with him?
Not long after, they arrived at No. Bingzi Prison. Liang Sheng stopped in the shadows and did not go any further. Lao Zhou immediately understood what Liang Sheng meant.
He walked straight to a cell door without hesitation, and without any courtesy, he savagely took away Zheng Wanchun's infant grandson from Zheng Wanchun's son.
Because Liang Sheng's actions just now have shown that he doesn't want to meet the Zheng family. I'm afraid he just wants to take the Zheng family's young grandson away, and he probably doesn't want to get too involved with the Zheng family.
The Zheng family still wanted to stop it, but how could they stop it in front of Lao Zhou. When he was in the shadows, Liang Sheng took a look at the baby in Lao Zhou's arms, and everything Zheng Wanchun said matched up, and then disappeared with the child in an instant.
Lao Zhou waited for a while, but there was no movement. He immediately prepared to leave the prison without any hesitation.
But before he could leave, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky prison, followed by the sound of gongs and drums, and the jailer's call for help resounded throughout the sky prison.
"If someone wants to escape from prison, come and provide support!"
Lao Zhou couldn't help but have a bitter look on his face, and then he had to turn around and go back. After all, he was a step too slow. Don't think too much, it must be Zheng Wanchun who is causing trouble.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the scene of the incident, they saw that Zheng Wanchun was so full of energy, and his reckless fighting style that no one dared to approach him within three meters.
Of course Lao Zhou would not move forward, but Zheng Wanchun was very purposeful at this time. Just now Liang Sheng brought his young grandson to see him and told him where the Zheng family was being held.
Since he is destined to die, it is better to die by his own hands, so as to save himself from torture and conceal the news that his young grandson has escaped.
Lao Zhou looked at the direction Zheng Wanchun was heading and immediately guessed his intention. It would be better not to provoke the dying man himself.
Half an hour later.
The prison guards suffered heavy casualties, but the key criminal Zheng Wanchun and everyone in the Zheng family were all killed in the sea of fire.
From top to bottom, the jailers in the Heavenly Prison were all punished to a certain extent. Lao Zhou was speechless, but he didn't have much resentment. After all, it was good to be alive.
However, which grandmaster is here today?
…
Three days later.
Jingxinzhai.
Liang Sheng finally appeared in the bookstore. The moment Lao Zhang saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Liang, where have you been these past few days? You haven't said a single hello. It makes me worried, for fear that something will happen to you."
thing?"
"Lao Zhang, thank you for your concern. I have nothing to do. I just went to a distant relative's house outside the city and I just came back now."
When Lao Zhang heard this, he didn't go into details. After all, Xiao Liang is an honest man. Could he do anything big?
At this time, he was impatient and cautiously leaned over, "Xiao Liang, you have been away from Kyoto these days. Did you know that something happened in Tianlao? Let me tell you..."
Lao Zhang told the rumors about the Tianlao that he had heard in the market, but Liang Sheng had no reaction. In the past three days, he had actually been wandering around the outskirts of Kyoto.
Zheng Wanchun's young grandson has been given to a kind and childless family to raise. Although he will not be rich and powerful, he can grow up safely.
Furthermore, he would visit her from time to time until the other person grew up, thus completing the friendship between him and Zheng Wanchun.
After that, the Heian Palace incident completely subsided, and Kyoto became increasingly peaceful. However, three months later, the Kyoto tower suddenly vibrated nine times.
Emperor Yanjing died, and a new emperor ascended the throne, with the reign title "Kaiping".
The whole city of Kyoto was in solemn silence for three months, and the whole city was hung in white. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he gave a general amnesty to the whole country, not collecting taxes for three years, and returning benefits to the people.
However, no matter what the court's policies are, it actually does not affect the people at the bottom, and the lives of many people have not changed much.
As a clan relative, the King of Wu and the King of Chu were the ministers of Gu Ming in the late emperor's posthumous decree. They did their best to fulfill their responsibilities at first, but which emperor would like to be told what to do?
But after all, it was the first New Year after the new emperor ascended the throne. In order to show support for the new emperor, major merchants successively sold bulk goods at reduced prices for a period of time, and Kyoto seemed to be becoming more and more prosperous.
But as time went by, there was an undercurrent in Kyoto. After all, the new emperor's methods were far worse than those of the previous emperor.
The king of Wu was hit on the forehead by the new king with an inkstone in front of the public. The king of Chu was so angry that he stayed behind closed doors, and the two ministers who cared about their orders did not go to court at all.
The rebellion of King Heian gave birth to new nobles, and for a while, the old and the new were in opposition. The new king's balancing act was biased, and the civil and military forces were in conflict.
In just a few months, in order to take charge of the government, the new emperor made frequent mistakes and allowed the court to form cliques for personal gain.
Afterwards, the factional disputes in the court became more and more intense, and the new emperor gradually became unable to control the court. Farce of changing orders from day to day often occurred.
Under such circumstances, Liang Sheng often looked eastward at the imperial city. At that time, the innate aura that made Liang Sheng feel faintly threatened was actually looming.
Could it be that the life of the innate eunuch is approaching?
Liang Sheng couldn't help but be a little confused. After all, he had heard from the leader of the Wusheng Sect that the other party had at least five years to live, so why was he so weak in less than half a year?
However, Liang Sheng did not go to the palace to test. As long as the innate eunuch was not dead, he could not risk his life to go there. It would take a long time, so why worry?
Furthermore, it’s all just a comparison. Who knows what the real situation is. The only way to go is to play it slow and steady.
Before he knew it, it had been almost a year since he came to Kyoto, and at this time, the New Year atmosphere enveloped the entire Kyoto, and everyone was filled with joy.
Liang Sheng's Residence.
Liang Sheng let out a breath at this moment. The progress of his new health-preserving exercises was faster than he imagined.
At this moment, all the ten newly added health-preserving skills have been practiced to the ninth level, which has once again increased his lifespan by a full 150 years.
Name: Liang Sheng
Age:89
Talent: Innocence and dullness (top quality)
Kung Fu: Golden Dragon Art (tenth level), Ten Health Preserving Kung Fu (Thirteenth level), New Ten Health Preserving Kung Fu (ninth level), Fudo Ming King Seal (Fourth level)
Realm: Innate
Life span: 2349
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Liang Sheng walked out of the door, and the steward, Old Wu, was standing outside the door with a respectful expression.
"Master, the New Year's Eve dinner is ready."
In the past few days, Liang Sheng's house has been hung with peach charms, and he spent several days cleaning and repairing the house. The lanterns were hung up early, and it was full of joy.
At this moment, the sound of crackling firecrackers was heard outside the yard, mixed with the laughter of children.
Liang Sheng handed the money he had prepared to Lao Wu directly to distribute to the servants at home, and then he was the only one to enjoy the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
As for the slaves, they gathered in the back kitchen to eat. The dishes were of course very rich, but it was impossible for him to let the slaves sit at the same table with him to eat.
In this day and age, doing this would probably frighten these slaves to death. After all, there was a difference between superiority and inferiority. Liang Sheng didn't have much appetite. Thinking of the Chinese New Year today and the curfew in Kyoto tonight, he might as well go out for a walk.
Lanterns are hung high in the imperial city at this moment, and from time to time someone even sprinkles copper coins down from the imperial city. This is what the new emperor calls having fun with the people.
At this time, Kyoto is full of lights, the streets on both sides are as bright as day, and laughter and laughter are heard one after another. The previous turmoil and haze in the court has been swept away.
Even the beggars can beg for food in front of the restaurant and enjoy the atmosphere of the New Year. As for the common people who have worked hard for a year, they are completely relaxed today.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves outside the gate of Kyoto, and then a group of people rushed into the city at high speed.
General Li Hong entered Beijing on New Year’s Eve!
