Turbulent Times Chapter 163: Sticked

Old **** Du said at the right time: "Your Majesty, if the drought is rampant, there will be a severe drought in Guanzhong for three years. It is a wise move to completely destroy the drought before it takes shape."

At this time, Yang Jian had already closed his eyes, and said in a dejected manner: "It's just a pity, it's hard to find such an expert as Kunlun Immortal Master..." After finishing speaking, he went back to the apse on his own .

Zhao Shuliang is the commander of the inner guards, no matter in terms of martial arts or official position, he is no lower than the old **** Du. So lost? After the death of a Kunlun Yin Lord, isn’t there a more powerful Wang Junlin? One loses one gain, and His Majesty has no loss.”

Old **** Du said lightly: "Wang Junlin is practicing poison, I'm afraid he won't be able to live forever!"

Zhao Shuliang was stunned for a moment, remembered something, lowered his head and dared not answer, old **** Du sighed slightly, drank the tea in one gulp, and left Nagato Palace.

Compared with immortality, boring government affairs are not attractive at all. Yang Jian persuaded himself to go back to the imperial study to deal with the government affairs that had to be dealt with with extremely strong perseverance, so as to ensure that the government that had just been established less than 20 years ago The sprawling empire continues to function.

…

…

When Wang Junlin came out of the palace, the blood-maned horse broke away from Niu Jinda and ran to meet him, leaving only Niu Jinda heaving a long sigh of relief. He led a group of guards outside to watch the blood-maned horse In order to prevent the horse ancestors from running around, especially to prevent them from breaking into the palace, it can be said that they sold all kinds of food nearby and let the blood-maned horses taste them one by one. Only then did they persist until Wang Junlin appeared.

The blood-maned horse is becoming more and more humane. When it ran in front of Wang Junlin, it first arched its head affectionately, and then made various voices of "咴咴咴..." It seemed to be speaking to Wang Junlin .

What stunned Niu Jinda and the palace guards at the gate of the palace was that Wang Junlin seemed to understand all of them, and repeated what the blood-maned horse wanted to express. Jun Lin threw it away, whether to go to eat and drink spicy food, it is really not interesting. Wang Junlin solemnly explained to it why he could not take him into the palace. The blood-maned horse happily said that he ate a lot of delicious food just now, and at the end he bowed his head to Wang Junlin to forgive him, and asked him to find a spacious place for him as soon as possible, so that he could have fun to his heart's content.

The communication between one person and one horse is very warm and interesting, completely ignoring the strange eyes cast by the people nearby.

An old man in brocade clothes with a refined look stood aside, watching the exchange of people and horses with great interest. Wang Junlin felt a little embarrassed because he knew this old man.

"What a blood-maned horse, I'm afraid it's not what he wants to stay in a place like the capital!" The old man looked at the blood-maned horse in amazement, as if sighed by its spirituality.

Wang Junlin turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a face full of smiles. This face has some entanglements with him, and it seems that he has saved this person's life.

This person is none other than Dugu Moyu, the former governor of Yongzhou and the third member of the Dugu Clan. He was once captured alive by the Turks in the battle last year, and was used by the Turks to lose Longxi City, causing the battle in Yongzhou to be completely defeated. , the No. 3 figure in the Dugu Clan, so in the end, he just lost his official position and was left idle at home.

Compared to the high-spirited Wang Junlin when he first saw this person on the official road outside Tianshui County, Dugu Moyu at this time was a bit desolate besides being lazy. While seeing Dugu Moyu, he also saw the woman riding a black horse behind Dugu Moyu riding a docile white horse.

There is almost no difference between this girl and the one Wang Junlin saw last year in the prefect's mansion of Longxi City for the first time. She is wearing a black samurai uniform, her legs are slender, her figure is still not well-proportioned, her skin is exceptionally fair, and she has a pretty face. A melon-seeded face, a bright red plump mouth, a straight nose, a pair of beautiful eyebrows curved like a thin moon, and a pair of indifferent eyes under the beautiful eyebrows. At the beginning of the year, Wang Junlin feigned death in the Western Regions to escape from the hands of the Boduo Dharma King. After such a long time, the Boduo Dharma King naturally knew about it.

In the entire world, Wang Junlin is the only one who knows that this girl is called Jiannu, and that it was given to Dugu Moyu by the Venerable Nestorian Dharma King Bodo. As for the shocking secret hidden in it, Wang Junlin just keeps it firmly in his heart. Never told anyone.

"I've seen the Duke!" Wang Junlin quickly glanced at Jian Nu, stepped forward a few steps, and saluted Dugu Moyu with his fists. Dugu Moyu has no official position, but the title is still there, and she is also the founding county magistrate.

"Qin Anhou, you're welcome. I just came to the capital yesterday. It's a pity that I couldn't attend your Lifu banquet a few days ago!" .

"The younger generation's etiquette is not proper. The Duke has been in Beijing for more than a day, and the younger generation has not been able to greet the Duke." Wang Junlin said, flew on the blood-maned horse, side by side with Dugu Moyu, and walked forward slowly. Going, the guards of the two naturally followed behind.

"I heard that His Majesty rewarded Qin Anhou with a manor in Dongcheng." The two chatted casually for a while, then Dugu Moyu said suddenly.

Wang Junlin marveled at the other party's well-informed news, and said: "Your Majesty values ​​it, but this matter."

Dugu Moyu obviously knew what happened to Wang Junlin in the palace today, but he didn't mention it at all, but said: "There is a small horse farm next to this manor, which is the property of His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Let the old man tell you, that horse farm is a thank you gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Of course Wang Junlin knows how few horse farms are in places like the capital where every inch of land is expensive, but blood maned horses really need such a place to run wild, and this horse farm happened to be rewarded to him by Yang Jian Next to the manor, it is so convenient that it couldn't be more convenient.

Besides, because of the matter of Mai Tiezhang and what happened in the palace today, it is only natural for Wang Junlin to accept what Yang Guang sent. If he does not accept it, Yang Guang's suspicion may cause trouble come out.

Dugu Moyu ran into Wang Junlin today, it seemed that he wanted to send Wang Junlin the horse farm for Yang Guang, and after signaling the sword slave to hand over the land deed of the horse farm to Wang Junlin, he said goodbye and left.

At this time, it was almost evening, and the sky became dark. Wang Junlin was thinking about something, and let the blood-maned horse carry him forward. Suddenly, the blood-maned horse stopped. There was something strange, and there was an inexplicable shock in my heart.

"Master Hou, I feel very bad, as if someone is spying on us." At this time, Niu Jinda next to him replied intently, and the guards drew out their weapons as soon as they heard this.

"Back!" Wang Junlin shouted softly.

The blood-maned horse stopped by itself just now, and obviously sensed some kind of danger. When Wang Junlin shouted and retreated, it took four or five steps back, and almost at the same time, there was a sudden sound in the air. The voices of the guards who had been on the battlefield were extremely familiar, yet extremely terrified.

"Battlebows defending the city!" Wang Junlin exclaimed.

As soon as the ear-piercing sound of piercing the air sounded, there was a bang all over the body, and the eight-ox crossbow. The spear brushed against the nose of the blood-maned horse. In the midst of the screams, the body and the horse under his crotch were directly shot through, and the crossbow and gun continued to fly forward, submerged into the darkness.

"Protect Lord Hou!" Niu Jinda yelled, while he bravely pulled out his horse and rushed towards the direction where the crossbow and gun came from. The guards around Wang Junlin instantly formed two human walls, firmly guarding Wang Junlin and the blood-maned horse in the middle.

Once again, the familiar sound of twisting strings sounded in the darkness, and Wang Junlin shouted, "You can't stop the eight-ox crossbow. Spear, don't stand here waiting to die, follow Niu Jinda to take the initiative to attack."

When the guards heard Wang Junlin's order, they hesitated for a moment, shouted, and rushed forward with Niu Jinda.

There was a whizzing sound in the air, "Be careful with the crossbow arrows!" Wang Junlin gritted his teeth and shouted, plotting against his own people with a vicious heart. Also, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Chinese dynasties have always banned crossbows and bows, because crossbow arrows are extremely powerful in short distances, and there is no way to dodge them, so they are always beneficial for assassination.

Wang Junlin pulled out the Longque Saber and knocked the crossbow arrows flying towards him one by one. Seeing the few guards rushing to the front who were caught off guard by the arrows fell down, his heart was full of murderous intent.

Niu Jinda was extremely brave and powerful in martial arts. With a bunch of crossbow bolts on his back, he managed to insert two crossbow bolts into his body, and rushed to the middle of the enemy with a roar, and the screams of fighting suddenly rang out. The remaining guards roared and rushed forward.

Wang Junlin heard a click in his ears, narrowed his eyes, and concentrated his attention. This was the sound of the eight-ox crossbow being loaded again.

At the same time as the ear-piercing sound of piercing through the air, Wang Junlin swung the Dragon Sparrow Saber like lightning, and a crossbow spear was split in half by Wang Junlin with a click.

On the other side, several guards followed Niu Jinda, and launched a counterattack with a steel crossbow that was sharper than the opponent's. With the sound of falling to the ground, the other party's crossbow arrows suddenly missed, and the remaining six experienced guards drew their swords at the fastest speed and killed them.

Wang Junlin knew that he would have to wait at least ten breaths for the next crossbow and spear, so he slapped the blood-maned horse neighing excitedly, and galloped over like the wind.

With Niu Jinda taking the lead, the group of guards immediately gained the upper hand, their knives pierced into their flesh, screaming, the assassin's crossbow in the dark. Although the spears and crossbow arrows were sharp, none of them could stop Niu Jinda In a short while, the master was defeated by Niu Jinda and the remaining six guards.
