The moon is at the zenith.
Shenjing The city gate is closed.
The sound of horse hooves came from far and near, throwing up smoke and dust, waking up the sleepy soldiers.
"Who is coming? Stop! Stop... shoot the arrow!"
The city gate official shouted a few times and ordered the archers to attack. Countless feather arrows were fired at the intruders.
Swish, brush, brush!
The horse instantly turned into a hedgehog, rushed forward a few feet and fell to the ground. The figure on the horse jumped up and flew five or six feet into the air.
When the city gate official saw this, his face relaxed. Shenjing The height of the city was nine feet high.
Just as he was about to give the order to continue shooting, he vaguely saw a black shadow in the sky, and someone stepped on it to gain strength again.
It soared more than ten feet into the air and landed on the city wall with a loud bang, causing rubble to fly.
"Don't, don't, don't come here..."
The city gate official turned pale with fright and couldn't help but retreat. The famous Marrow Cleansing Realm master was not so scary.
The figure was none other than Zhou Yi. He glanced at the city gate official and then flew towards Yongchang Ward.
months ago.
Brocade Guard reported a strange tomb. Anyone who comes close to it will break the wall, turn around a few times and then stay away. It is taboo for the people in the village.
After consulting the local county annals, we learned that the owner of the tomb was a Daoist priest who lived alone and lived for a full 140 years. Since the owner of the tomb was most likely a monk, Zhou Yi left Beijing to investigate, and Hua Yinzi hired hundreds of people to level the hill directly.
Zhou Yi looked at it from a distance, not daring to get close.
After all the funerary objects in the tomb were emptied out and identified one by one with Mana, we found something.
On the way back.
Zhou Yi slowly comprehended the scriptures and found that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River was completely different from that in the northern Xinjiang.
Until three days ago, Zhou Yi heard a few people in the world chatting. Thief Saint, who was famous decades ago, was seriously ill and was about to die. Some were lamenting the death of the older generation, or envied Thief Saint's death.
After repeatedly confirming that Thief Saint was Lao Bai, Zhou Yi immediately rushed back to Shenjing.
With the blessing of Qinggong, Light-Body Talisman was faster than a galloping horse. Until Mana was exhausted, another four or five horses were killed. After running three thousand miles day and night, he finally returned to Shenjing.
Yongchang Ward.
Bai Estate.
Zhou Yi Seeing that there were no white lanterns hanging at the door and no incense ashes on the ground, I felt a little relieved.
"Fortunately it's not too late!"
Lao Bai can be said to be the only friend. If I can't give him a ride before my death, I will feel regretful every time I think about it in my long life.
He jumped into the courtyard and arrived at Lao Bai's residence in the back house. It was already midnight and the lights were still on.
There were voices in the room, men and women, seeming to be arguing about something.
Zhou Yi pushed the door in and saw Lao Bai's children talking around the bed.
Someone heard the door open and turned around to see an old man in blue robe.
Zhou Yi looked past several people and looked at the old man lying on the bed. "Lao Bai, you're not dead yet?"
Lao Bai Hearing the sound, he slowly opened his cloudy eyes and twisted his neck with difficulty.
"Ahem! I can't bear to die if I can't wait for you."
His breath was dying, and he was obviously dying.
When the men and women in the room heard this, they looked at each other and took a few steps back. They knew that their father had traveled around the world and had a good reputation, so someone from the world should be visiting him.
Zhou Yi stood in front of the bed, looking at the wrinkles on Lao Bai's face, which was no longer as handsome as before.
"Lao Bai, I finally beat you, I can still go to the Spring Breeze Pavilion now."
Lao Bai was not to be outdone. "We have been handsome all our lives, but I will never realize how many years you look like."
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
Lao Bai was weak and twitched a few times while laughing, almost out of breath.
The eldest son standing next to him said with concern, "Father, the imperial doctor has warned you not to be moved by sadness or joy!"
"You guys go out and I'll talk to my old friend."
Lao Bai waved his children out and sighed, "I made you laugh, these guys are not living up to expectations."
The few people who were making a noise in the house just now were separating their families.
In front of Lao Bai, Princess Rongchang's two sons despised the other brothers and sisters, saying that they should go back to the world and hang out.
"What's this?"
Zhou Yi shrugged. "At least there was no beating to death. The Former Emperor passed away last year. It was said that the nine girls of the Night Palace died from Yang. They didn't even bother to find a decent reason."
Lao Bai asked, "What is the exact reason?"
The Former Emperor Jinglong died in the Shangyang Palace at the beginning of the second year of Zhengtong, and his posthumous name was Si.
"The Former Emperor was unwilling to be trapped in the Shangyang Palace. He somehow contacted Marquis Chen and actually poisoned the imperial dining room in an attempt to poison Empress Dowager and His Majesty in order to regain the throne."
Zhou Yi said, "Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill his wish, and only a few of the servants who stole the talk were poisoned to death. After that, His Majesty entered Shangyang Palace with a sword, and the Former Emperor collapsed!"
Emperor Jinglong failed another palace transformation and died at the hands of his son. Strictly speaking, it had something to do with Zhou Yi.
After the orthodox one-year draft, Chen Qing successfully entered the palace and became a concubine. She was quite favored by His Majesty, and the Chen family's reputation was unprecedented. However, the harem is Zhang Empress Dowager's world, and even Emperor Zhengtong is not allowed freedom, let alone a mere concubine.
Chen Qing acted arrogantly and domineeringly, repeatedly violated palace rules, and was punished by Zhang Empress Dowager many times.
Jealousy, stupidity, hatred...
Chen Qing's temper could not be tolerated, but Emperor Zhengtong was incompetent, so he hooked up with the Shangyang Palace the Former Emperor and became an adulterer.
The Former Emperor informed Marquis Chen of the matter. With the Royal Family scandal, Marquis Chen didn't even have a chance to choose, so he had to board a pirate ship. As a result, he was suspected of treason, stripped of his title, ransacked his home and was exiled.
Yuan Shun took this opportunity to be promoted to Brocade Guard.
Most of the Chess Piece arranged by Zhou Yi in the past two years were successfully promoted thanks to the power of Yuan Shun.
Chess Piece received dual support from his skills and backers, Yuan Shun gained a group of elite support, and Zhou Yi gained a lot of secrets related to Path of Immortality.
The three parties help each other and share common interests, and the originally loose relationship becomes stronger!
Lao Bai heard the secret about the father poisoning the son and the son killing his father. He looked strange and said, "So, my children are just naughty."
With decades of experience in the arena, Lao Bai vaguely feels that this matter is related to Zhou Yi, but there are already secrets between friends, so there is no need to delve too deeply into it.
Zhou Yi nodded slightly. "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, let them do whatever they want. You'd better take good care of yourself, maybe you can live a few more years."
"Since the three of them left one after another, I have been as good as dead. I just hope to go to the underworld as soon as possible and continue to be a couple in the underworld with them."
Lao Bai murmured, "Old Zhou, I can insist on delaying until now, just waiting for you to come, hoping to ask for one thing!"
Zhou Yi recalled for a moment, "You and I have known each other for forty years, and this seems to be the first time we have said this."
"If I ask you to do something and I owe you a favor, can I still be friends?"
Lao Bai rested for a moment and continued, "Now I don't have a few days left to live. The fate of my friends has been cut off since then. I beg you to do something so that I can lose face."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhou Yi had a vague guess that it was probably entrusted to protect future generations. Lao Bai was not the first, nor would he be the last.
After all, if you live a long time, you can always send away one acquaintance after another!
"These are my children. The eldest son seems to be loyal, but is actually mean, but he thinks he is a good actor. The second son is a domineering dandy, and you must look down on him, Lao Zhou. The third son, Xiao, has a ruthless mother, but does not know how to hide, which will lead to disaster."
"Only the youngest has a smart and changeable temperament, and may achieve something in the future."
"Now that my foreign relatives are in power, the country is unstable and there will be great chaos in the future."
Lao Bai prayed. "My father-in-law is a member of Empress Dowager, and now my brother-in-law is too, and it may affect Bai Estate in the future. If something unbearable happens, Lao Zhou will help protect Yao'er's group and leave Shenjing safely."
Zhou Yi asked doubtfully, "Lao Bai is so sure that the Empress Dowager series will be liquidated in the future?"
Lao Bai nodded and said affirmatively.
"How can a relative be in power for a long time? Even if His Majesty cannot resist, his son will take revenge in the future. The longer he controls the government, the deeper the resentment of the royal family will become, and the backlash will be to confiscate the family and exterminate the family!"
