The road is long and Guazhou is still far away. Master Zhong is driving a car, and Qin Wu is lying in the car, and behind the car, he is also pulling a few horses from the trailer with a rope.

Mr. Zhong was a little worried, worried that he would not be able to walk into Guazhou without a guide. Even if he looked at the sun, it would be difficult to distinguish east, west, south and north. If the direction was a little worse, it would be farther away. He also needed to replenish clean water, food and fodder along the way.

Looking for the general direction, everything seems to be left to fate.

Fortunately, there was a Qin Wu in the car with a good theory. He listened to the story of traveling to the business since he was a child and learned that after passing Zhangye, it would be Suzhou. Suzhou was still famous in later generations, namely Jiuquan. If Xu Jie were here, he might have to start his own interest, which is where the rockets were launched.

Mr. Zhong was not interested at all, because there were still five hundred miles in Suzhou, and there were several small cities. Qinwu probably knew that the direction was northwest, but these were just theoretical geographical locations. It was obviously not difficult to walk in the Gobi desert.

Master Zhong frowned, not looking up at the sun in the sky, for fear that he would go in the wrong direction if he was not careful.

After Qin Wu was behind, he said a lot of words, mostly to popularize the geographical knowledge along the way for Master Zhong according to his memory. Master Zhong listened, but he didn't ask a few questions.

This also made Qin Wu feel that the relationship between the two should be much familiar, so he asked tentatively: "Hero Zhong, I wonder where Dajiang County you are talking about?"

"Dajiang County is located in Dajiang, in the west of Huaixi, southeast of Jingzhou, and the ancient Jiangxia land. It is 108,000 miles away from here." Zhong Shidao answered casually.

Qin Wu heard that Shidao Zhong really answered his words seriously, and asked again: "There are so great martial arts of Zhong Daxia, and those horse thieves with thousands of horse thieves, and they dare not come to fight you. Why are there still people in Dajiang County unwilling to learn such so great martial arts of Zhong Daxia?"

After asking this, Qin Wu was still thinking about learning swords. He couldn't beg for the front, so he had to think of a side method.

"He doesn't have to learn from my sword." Zhong Shidao replied. In such a desert, between heaven and earth, it seemed like only these two people. Zhong Shidao did not seem to be reluctant to chat with Qin Wu for a few words at this time.

"There is even higher than the mountain. Maybe that man also has martial arts skills, but obviously the swordsman of the hero Zhong is better. If he doesn't learn, he will lose." Qin Wu praised Master Zhong, and was thinking about how to beg indirectly.

When Master Zhong heard this, he looked up and watched the scorching sun slowly set. He sighed, his face was somewhat envious, and he said melancholy: "He is already innate, he is already that mountain."

Qin Wu was stunned when he heard this. In Qin Wu's cognition, the words of innate nature are all legendary things. Qinzhou has no innate nature. Jingzhao Chang'an heard that there is an innate nature, but it was only heard, just heard.

"Ah! Innate? I think this person is not young and is a bit unreasonable in terms of seniority. No wonder, no wonder this person doesn't learn such a great sword technique as Zhong Dahe." Qin Wu was still explaining why that person didn't learn his sword. In fact, it was a disguised flattery. Perhaps he was just trying to save face for Zhong Dahe.

"That person is less than twenty." Mr. Zhong chatted very seriously.

Qin Wu was stunned at first when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Heroes of China are making fun of me? It's better to be a third-rate if you can practice second-rate even if you have talent and become first-rate, that's a genius. How could you be innate if you're less than twenty? How could you be innate in this world if you're less than twenty? How could you be like this happening in this world?"

"Yes, how could this happen in this world? He couldn't beat me the winter of the previous year. Last year, I thought I was probably going to be innate. I was born Xu Wenyuan and couldn't envy him. If I don't die this time, I will compete with him for the rest of my life! Xu Wenyuan can never come out of this world, and I want this world, and I can never come out of my Master Zhong again!" Master Zhong was really sad. He knew that he was about to die, but the sadness that had endured for a long time was all in these words.

Qin Wu, who was lying in the car, did not understand other words, and understood that Master Zhong had to enter the innate world and compete with the genius who was less than 20 years old for a lifetime. At this time, he also knew that Master Zhong was saying the truth, and he heard that he was scratching his heart with five claws and his heart with five claws.

"If Hero Zang wants to accept disciples, what kind of people will he accept as disciples?" Qin Wu finally went straight to the point.

"A person who is not afraid of death." Mr. Zhong answered in a brief answer.

Qin Wu was overjoyed and immediately said, "Hero Zang, I am not afraid of death."

Mr. Zhong looked back at Qin Wu, smiled, and said nothing.

"Hero Zhong, originally... I was afraid of death, but now I am not afraid. I just want to avenge my father and die without regret." Qin Wu hurriedly explained.

Zhong Shidao seemed to have not heard it, but just looked down at the knife in his hand, rubbed the handle of the blade, and suddenly felt a little reluctant to let it go, as if he had also remembered some of Xu Jie's words, the meaning of living, etc.

But the horse was still heading northwest without stopping.

The storm was about to come and the wind filled the building. After Bianjing, Xu Jie received the order of the old emperor and quickly entered the imperial city.

Ouyang Zheng and Xie Fang had arrived long ago, and there were several leaders of the Jin Palace Guards, including Wei 23, and several generals of the Jinwu Guards. There was no one else in the study.

Xu Jie entered the study and bowed. The old emperor was talking, but Xu Jie didn't say long live to pay homage. The old emperor also waved his hand and signaled Xu Jie to sit aside.

The old emperor's words continued: "Wang Yuanlang brought 50,000 troops and horses to set off. I think Li Qiming also received the news that he would not wait any longer. The imperial city must not be lost. Any soldiers and soldiers who can be mobilized will enter and guard the imperial city. From today on, no morning court will be allowed to enter and exit the imperial city!"

The imperial city is the imperial palace, the innermost city in Bianjing, and the highest city in Bianjing's city wall, the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city. The old emperor must ensure that he is foolproof. More than 10,000 Jinwu Guards, plus the Golden Palace Guards, and nearly a thousand people in Xu Jie's military factory. It should be no problem to guard this imperial city. The imperial city wall is high and the area is small, so it is no problem to hold on for a few days.

Everyone explained and nodded, and did not interrupt, then heard the old emperor say again: "Wei Twenty-three, you personally take my imperial edict to look for Wang Yuanlang, and ask him to enter the city as soon as his troops arrive, first encircle Li Qiming's mansion and arrest Li Qiming's family. If Li Qiming escapes from the city, immediately guard the city gates and then obey the orders."

"Abide by the order!" Wei Twenty-three stepped forward and received the order.

Only when Wang Yuanlang brought his troops here did the old emperor have the confidence to really move Li Qiming. At that time, even if Li Qiming had many confidants, the old emperor had the capital to fight. Although Wang Yuanlang had only 50,000 troops, the old emperor also had confidence. He was confident that more than 100,000 troops outside the city could not rebel with Li Qiming. Not to mention the majesty of the emperor, just say that the world was not as strong as people to rebel.

Li Qiming had the motivation to rebel, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers could eat and wear warmly. As long as the people of China had enough food and clothing and still had a way out, they would not be able to rebel. This has been the case for thousands of years.

What you need to be guarded against at this time is to prevent Li Qiming from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

"Wei Jiu, clean up the palace. Any suspicious person, regardless of his status, will be detained. Those who can prove it will be executed immediately. The queen's bedroom will be kept under strict supervision and no one is allowed to enter or exit." The old emperor arranged it in an orderly manner. The old emperor was really afraid of death. There were many reasons for fear of death, so he was unwilling to give anyone any loopholes.

"As for the order!" Wei Jiu stepped forward to take the order.

Xu Jie saw Wei Jiu again. The innate master of the Golden Palace Wei who was never allowed to leave the palace in his life was somewhat guilty and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Wei Jiu seemed to have noticed Xu Jie's eyes, and when he looked at each other, he immediately lowered his head and stopped looking at Xu Jie.

"Xu Wenyuan, all soldiers and soldiers in the investigation factory were transferred to the imperial city immediately, and there must be no less criminals. The Golden Palace Guard had a dungeon and they were all detained." The old emperor did not rely on in this capital, and he did not want to waste one person.

After the old emperor waited for Xu Jie to get the order, he looked at Xu Jie again and asked, "Xu Wenyuan, what do you think in your heart? Let's listen to me."

What do Xu Jie have? Don’t have any ideas?

Xu Jie hesitated for a moment.

"That's right, I've reached this critical moment and I'm still so hesitant." said the old emperor.

Xu Jie no longer hesitated, stepped forward and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder how His Highness King Guangyang arranged it?"

"It's all arranged in the imperial city." The old emperor replied. At this critical moment, how could such a favorite son be placed outside the imperial city? If Li Qiming was desperate when the situation was over, what should he do if he used Xia Wen to control the old emperor? How could he not be careful?

Xu Jie frowned when he heard this and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, if His Highness Guangyang is in the palace, then............ I have to be careful."

The old emperor was shocked when he heard this, his face turned pale. He raised his hand and pointed at Xu Jie, saying, "It's so nonsense, step back!"

Although Xia Wen is far from meeting the standards of the old emperor for the future emperor, his son who loves so much and is so optimistic about him has been favored by him since childhood. How can he allow others to speak out and distract father-son relationships? He also said such taboo words. Just based on this sentence, if it were in normal times, Xu Jie would inevitably be questioned by the old emperor on the spot, and he would be thrown away from office or imprisonment.

Xu Jie heard the old emperor's reaction and lowered his head to the side. Ouyang Zheng and Xie Fang both turned to look at Xu Jie and frowned. Perhaps he couldn't understand why Xu Jie said such words at this time to anger the emperor.

Only Wei Jiu looked at Xu Jie with his eyes, not doubt.

The old emperor seemed to have not yet calmed his anger, stared at Xu Jie for a few glances, and after getting up, he flicked his sleeves, and said in a bad tone: "Everyone should do the things quickly."

After saying that, the old emperor left the study room angrily.

Xu Jie saw the old emperor like this, and seemed to regret his words just now. He shook his head, bowed to Ouyang Zheng and Xie Fang, and quickly walked towards the east of the imperial city.

Human nature still has weaknesses. At the age of the old emperor, the storms and waves have come, and the emperor is becoming more and more skilled, but in the end he still can't pass the human relationship of father and son. The royal family is ruthless, but it is difficult to do it.

Xu Jie is not a bad person, and Xu Jie also believes in his own human relationship. But Xu Jie finds it hard to believe that the royal family has any favors!

Many people were confused by the accidents in the capital. The carriages were one by one, and there were soldiers and soldiers, and some people who had never seen them again. They also entered several gates of the imperial city without any obstruction, such as Ouyang Wenfeng and Ouyang Wenqin.

Xu Jie, who returned to the Imperial Factory, also had a headache. There was also a third prince Xia Rui in the Imperial Factory. This prince who was not favored by the old emperor since childhood. Stay in the inner city? Or take it into the Imperial City?

Xia Rui also saw a group of people in the war factory, with trucks of armor, weapons, bows and crossbows, and trucks of prisoners, and the directions of the imperial city were actually the ones.

Xia Rui had already arrived in front of Xu Jie, looked at Xu Jie, but did not speak, as if he was waiting for Xu Jie to speak.

Xu Jie didn't say anything. At this critical moment, Xia Rui entered the palace. Will this matter be done? If he does it, what would the old emperor think? From the perspective of the old emperor, bringing Xia Rui into the palace at this time means that Xu Jie has other ideas? Is it unreasonable to think?

Xu Jie understood these principles, so he was very embarrassed.

But when Xia Rui smiled, he said, "Wenyuan, but the wind and rain have come?"

"The wind and rain are coming!" Xu Jie replied, not planning to hide anything from Xia Rui.

Xia Rui was still laughing, laughing a little bitterly, and said, "Forget it, Wen Yuan can plan things and kill people with a knife. It's more useful than me."

Xia Rui could probably guess something, for example, Xu Jie was useful to the old emperor and very useful. Xia Rui also knew that he was an useless person for the old emperor. Fengyu was really coming, and the old emperor probably wouldn't have thought that there was such a son that needed to be arranged.

Xia Rui could only guess Xu Jie's embarrassment. At this time, Xia Rui really wanted to laugh a few times, then turn around and leave.

But Xia Rui did not set off, but stared at Xu Jie.

Xia Rui was surviving and didn't say it out loud, but Xu Jie could clearly feel the expectations in his eyes.

Xia Rui still wanted Xu Jie to help him and not leave him alone in the wind and rain to fate.

This expectation and longing made Xia Rui feel the bitterness in his heart. A prince, the emperor's son, could only beg for protection from others with his eyes. How sad and bitter!

Xu Jie was really embarrassed. Xu Jie wanted to keep the image of a capable minister and loyal minister like Ouyang Zheng in front of the old emperor, but Xu Jie seemed to gradually realize that he seemed to be getting further and further away from the role of a capable minister and loyal minister. Xu Jie in the old emperor's heart might be a wise man and a person who does things. But he could never be like Ouyang Zheng. The words in the palace just now greatly reduced Xu Jie's image.

Xu Jie was even guessing what the future career would be, and whether it would be the ending he was willing to accept.

The old emperor is still alive, and Xu Jie is already in danger. If the old emperor dies, Xu Jie will be even more dangerous, and the new emperor Xu Jie can't afford to offend him.

The two of them were silent for a moment.

Xia Rui smiled even more bitterly, and said a few more words: "Whether it is, or......"

After a few words, Xia Rui didn't turn around and looked at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie stood up, walked forward a few steps, patted Xia Rui on the shoulder, and said softly: "I'll find you a suit of armor. Later, you will follow the soldiers with your spear. After entering the palace, you will eat and live with the soldiers."

After saying that, Xu Jie left the house, leaving Xia Rui very happy. He turned to look at Xu Jie, full of gratitude. He smiled at the sky again, not bitterly, and relaxed his breath, as if he had a life after a disaster.

Yes! Xu Jie did not disappoint him after all.
