Chapter 1
###Chapter1,Guide
It was night, and the bright moon hung in the sky. The whole place was quiet. From time to time, the owl's cry could be heard in the air, which gave this peaceful night a chance to live.
He wore a white robe and a snow-white robe. Under the contrast of the moonlight, he looked very elegant.
The sword, the long sword, the iced long sword, in the swordman's hand, stabbed straight down, as if it was so casual.
The handsome face, the handsome face, the cold handsome face, was looking at him intently. Below the calm expression, there was a heart that seemed to be going to stop beating.
A shadow was facing him. It was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. It was not very tall, and it was even thinner. It had a short knife in its hand, which was as short as a dagger. It pushed it across the chest and stared at the shoulder of the man in white motionlessly.
They stood there for a long time, and no one dared to make a move.
Suddenly, a ghost bat appeared in the sky and crashed into the man in white. Almost instantaneously, both sabers and swords were drawn out at the same time, and at the same time, the two resumed their original postures. However, the bat had been smashed into tens of thousands of pieces and turned into a pool of blood.
The blood and the white-robed man.
The wound was on his shoulder. It was as small as a needle tip, as if he could not feel the pain, but the outcome was clear.
"I wish you old and white-haired!" The face of the man in white was instantly pale, even whiter than the full moon in the sky, and even whiter and more dazzling than the clothes on his body.
"Junior apprentice-brother, stay and have a wedding banquet." The black-clad man seemed to be a bit proud.
"In 15 years, I'll learn from you, Senior Brother. From then on, there will be no longer be a long sword in Jianghu." The man in white paused and mumbled without turning his head. His tone was colder than ice and even more piercing than a saber or sword.
"Alas! Junior Brother, why are you doing this?" The man in black lowered his head and sighed.
"Sigh!" The white-clothed man released a long sigh, no longer saying anything. He suddenly sped up, flying down from the mountain peak, instantly disappearing without a trace.
Seeing the man in white disappear in the dark night, the man in black suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. After a long time, he said to himself, "Junior Brother, why are you always too kind?" After that, he also ran in the direction of the man in white.
Moments later, the top of the divine dragon was completely empty, leaving behind only a puddle of blood. With a blow of the wind, it instantly froze.
A moment later, the white-robed man returned to his original position. When he reached the spot where the black-robed man was standing, he saw a puddle of blood, which caused him to go insane. After a long moment, he threw his head back and let out a long sigh. Tears streamed down the corner of his eye as he staggered forward. It was as if a hundred years had passed, and he was now an old man.
...
AD type 1030, June, late at night. It was a stormy storm that battered the entire Great Song Dynasty Imperial Palace like a splash.
Inside the chamber, Zhao Yan, the fourth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, was engaged in a fierce battle with his two beloved concubines, beauty Yang and beauty Shang.
Ever since Princess Yang and Shang were given to the Emperor by the Minister of War, they had received Zhao Tian's endless favor. They did not leave each other and took turns to sleep. Zhao Tian's soul had been turned upside down by the two and he had been in a daze. Recently, he had not been in court for five days and had been in the palace to hang out with them day and night.
That night, Zhao Fei didn't listen to the eunuch's advice and ordered two of his royal consorts to go to bed. However, he didn't want to be tricked behind the scenes. From then on, the court would be in chaos, and a bloody storm would be brewing.
###Chapter2,Beauty Falls in Trouble
After a while, there was a sudden rush of footsteps, which alarmed Eunuch Wang, who was on duty and dozing at the entrance of the bedchamber. He came to his senses immediately after a quiver. He looked up and saw the Assistant to the Head of the Censor standing in front of him. His body was wet by the heavy rain. At this time, a flash of lightning flashed down, and his angry face that was lit up by the dark light was like the devil in hell. It made people feel cold.
Eunuch Wang usually knew that he was cold-blooded and selfless. When he saw his expression in the middle of the night, he could not help but tremble. He quickly smiled and asked softly, "Lord Qu, why are you here so late at night?"
"Eunuch Wang, please inform His Majesty that I want to see you as I have something urgent to do." Bao Chang said loudly when he heard his question.
"Lord Qi, please lower your voice. His Majesty's dragon body is already sleeping. Don't wake him up. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the punishment!" Eunuch Wang was so scared that he hurriedly dissuaded him.
"Eunuch Wang, His Majesty has been ignoring the court affairs for half a month, which has caused the national affairs to be in ruins. If you deliberately stop him and be careful of the Empress Dowager's blame, you will not be able to bear the blame! Besides, you should report it to His Majesty now. If His Majesty blames me, I will be responsible for you." As slick and timid as Bao Chu, Bao Chu hurriedly comforted him.
"To tell you the truth, the emperor summoned the beauty Yang, the monk, and the beauty today. He told nobody to disturb me, or I would be beheaded. I persuaded Lord Ding to go back when he asked me to see him. Now if you rashly ask me to see the emperor, I'm afraid that even ten heads would not be enough to be cut off by the emperor!" Eunuch Wang saw that he insisted on seeing the emperor, so he could only persuade him.
"Eunuch Wang, you said that His Majesty summoned two concubines to sleep at the same time tonight. This... this is too absurd! Today, even if I have to risk my life to invite His Majesty to pay attention to the dragon body. Please don't blame me." Baodu was very angry when he heard Eunuch Wang's words. Thinking that His Majesty was deluded by these evil concubines and didn't care about the court affairs, he felt very sad at once and shouted through the door, "My lord, please allow me to meet you if you have something important to report."
After Bao Chang finished shouting, he listened carefully. After a long time, Chu Tiankuo did not answer, Eunuch Wang, who was standing beside him, trembled with fear at the sight of Chu Tiankuo. He was afraid that the emperor would blame him.
"Minister of Love, I'm very sleepy to join you today. Please tell me if you need anything." At this time, Zhao Yuan was in high spirits. He didn't want to pay attention to the bread as he heard others calling him normally. However, he didn't. He was afraid that the Empress Dowager would blame him, so he had to say that in a perfunctory way, but his movements didn't stop.
"Your Majesty, recently we have reported that there are demons in Divine Dragon Palace in the west of the northern region of the Yangtze River who have harmed countless people. The local villagers are jittery and there are rumors everywhere. I am willing to ask Your Majesty to give an order to send troops to wipe out the demons to pacify people." Seeing that Your Majesty did not summon them, Bao Yu had to continue to report through the door.
"Minister of Love, we'll report this matter tomorrow. Please withdraw first and give it some time to think about it!" Yang Huan was extremely displeased when he heard him shouting outside the door and refusing to leave. He was just about to get angry, but then he wanted to pretend that he was the Empress Dowager's favorite. He couldn't afford to offend him. Moreover, he was upright and had a good relationship with the people. He was deeply loved by the people and could not be brashly punished. He had no choice but to continue with the perfunctory statement.
"Your Majesty, this matter is urgent. Please make a prompt decision. If it's late, I'm afraid to stir up a civilian change." Bao Changhan continued to shout, as he found that the emperor was perfunctory to him, which was not enough to make him refuse to give up.
"Since that's the case, I'll send the doctor of honor, Pan Qiang, to quickly lead 100 elite soldiers to destroy them. We'll set off tomorrow morning. We mustn't make any mistakes." Yang Song was both angry and angry at this moment, and his good mood was ruined by him. He thought that he was in the wrong tonight, but he couldn't blame him. Wouldn't it be troublesome if he were to complain about himself in front of the Empress Dowager? He could only think of a way to calm the latter for the time being. At the moment, he recalled that Pan Qiang had repeatedly tried to contradict him and didn't think much of him. Now that he was sending him away, he could also listen to him quietly.
"Your Majesty, this..." Baodu heard that the emperor had sent Pan Qiang to destroy the crown prince. Pan Qiang was nearly fifty years old and was sick recently. He was lying on the bed and unable to get up. So he was a little hesitant. He knew that the emperor was perfunctory, but there was nothing he could do. Although he was unwilling, he could only do so. When he had said half of the words, he turned his head immediately and shouted, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself! Your Majesty, please don't be greedy for women so that you can't do things in the desert." After a long time, he could no longer hear the emperor. So he had to kneel down and kowtowed to the door, turned around and walked away. He thought, "Let General Pan lead the soldiers to see the truth tomorrow, and then we will talk about it with the Empress Dowager later."
At this time, a lightning bolt fell from the sky with a "thunder" sound accompanied by a loud thunder, as if it would split the Song Dynasty into two. Eunuch Wang, who stood at the door, was frightened and knelt down.
Bao Chu looked at him scornfully and stepped down, letting the heavy rain pour on him. After a long time, he looked up at the sky and sighed, "God! Please save me from the Song Dynasty! If we go there, our country will fall!"
After a long time, she looked back at the closed bedroom and returned to the mansion helplessly.
After the bag was ready to leave, Shang and Yang women started to whisper in the Emperor's ear again, saying that the bag was reasonable, which made the Emperor hate the bag even more.
On the second day, Bao Fei went straight to the Panqiang's house to announce the imperial edict when he saw that the emperor was still not going up to court.
Pan Qiang was 50 years old. His ancestor was Feng Yang from Anhui. He was trained in martial arts since he was a 17-year-old child and was very smart. He was promoted to the Military Scholar when he was a 17-year-old boy, and he led the troops to fight in the outside world. He had good military achievements. He started as the leader of the Commanding Officers from the 7th-class. He had experienced hundreds of battles until he became the General of Guards, who was at the 3rd rank of the Imperial Guard. He was well loved by the Emperor. He didn't think about his old age. He was honest in nature and wouldn't let his treacherous court officials take advantage of him. He always criticized Yang Xuan for indulging his treacherous officials to the Tao and their lust for beauty. All the officials were angry and didn't dare to criticize him. The Emperor had been rebuked by him many times and he had already had the urge to kill. However, he had high military achievements. He was also highly praised by the Empress Dowager. He was afraid of offending the public, so he had to suppress his anger and wait for the right time to attack.
