The storm is approaching, the sky in Jinling is overcast, and the air is damp and dreary, making people breathless.The light in the Heart Cultivation Hall was dim, and the color of those tall bronze pillars was deep, standing in the gloom on both sides, revealing a solemn and vicissitudes of life.Before the attendants could hold the lamp, they were ordered by Emperor Wu to retreat.The huge palace was empty and silent for a while, and the atmosphere was very deserted.Emperor Wu wore long hair and a black robe, sitting casually on the floor, bowing his head and busy working.He was sharpening his sword.In his hand was an iron sword, very ordinary, rusty and unused for many years.In fact, since he advanced to the ninth realm ten years ago and became the number one in the world without any suspense, he has never reached out to pick up any weapons.Even in the battle against the Sword Master last year, he only made a few moves with his bare hands.On the one hand, he doesn't need weapons.On the list, he stands at the pinnacle, proud of the others, and his cultivation is the strongest in the world.With fists alone, it is enough to suppress anyone.If you don't meet the enemy of life and death, you must go all out, and the sword will not come in handy.On the other hand, he really doesn't need weapons.The ninth realm has a great creation, which can bring him five hundred years of longevity.As long as he is not attacked and killed by the crowd and does not encounter natural disasters, under normal conditions, he can live for five hundred years and coexist with the country.Because of this, he became more and more cautious and forbearing, living in the palace, staying at home, and stifling all the possibility of accidents.Even if an assassin breaks into the palace, he will be intercepted by the strict guards, he can't touch the opponent, why do he need weapons to live to such a point, the enemy in his eyes is no longer a hero in the world, but the long years.What he wants to challenge is the limit of life and the end of martial arts.The tenth realm of the eternal and unparalleled.Swords and vulgar things cut off flesh and blood, but they keep streaming.So, he had planned to stop using a sword.But today, he still rummaged through the cabinets, found the iron sword he used when he was a teenager, and sharpened and cleaned it carefully, as if he was entertaining an old friend who had not seen him for many years.The old sword has a new machine, and the blood is drunk.After many years, he sharpened his sword again, naturally to kill people, in order to defeat a strong enough opponent.Who is it that can make the invincible Emperor Wu of the world attach so much importance to him rolled up his long sleeves, looked focused, picked up a handful of water from the copper basin, poured it on the sword, and washed away the dark red rust that had been grinded.Beside him, Uncle Cao Chunfeng was not restrained, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes to heal his wounds.The pair of kings and ministers get along with each other without being disturbed by anyone.After escaping from the Bishan battlefield, Cao Chunfeng returned to Jinling despite his injuries.He didn't even go home to rest, he immediately entered the palace to face the saint.Because he had worked hard to find the answer to a certain question.He believed that Emperor Wu must have been eager to know about it as well.At this time, he was covered in wounds, and as soon as he changed into a clean white dress, blood oozed out again.This is all thanks to Yang Xuanji, that day in the rift, Yang Xuanji was eager to save Ren Zhen, and fought with him at all costs, but the result was that both sides were defeated, and both sides suffered heavy losses.Coupled with the fact that he was traveling day and night, his injuries did not improve at all.After entering the palace, for half an hour, he was reporting to Emperor Wu on the situation in the north, no matter how big or small.From the fierce battle of Lujiang, to the killing of the cat's head, to the ambush of Pishan, the information contained in it was too complicated, and he did not dare to omit it, and he had to let Emperor Wu's staff decide.After listening silently, Emperor Wu did not open his mouth to ask, but started to sharpen his sword.It was only at this point, when the work at hand was finished, that he got up from the ground, and while wiping the blade of the sword with a towel, he squinted in admiration, and his eyes were colder than the sword."
Until now, the only real spectators in this game are you and me.You should know that such a situation is by no means perfect, it can only be considered unsatisfactory. ”When Cao Chunfeng heard this, he coughed a few times in pain, and his face turned pale.Back then, in order to seek peace between the two dynasties, the Southern Jin Dynasty was forced to agree to the conditions of the Northern Tang Dynasty and secretly killed the rebel general Ren Tianxing, and he was one of the participants.After Ren Tianxing was executed, it was he who sent the infant Ren Zhen to Emperor Wu.The two conspired together and formulated a plan to raise wolves by borrowing knives to kill people.In addition to Emperor Wu, only he knew that the reason why Ren Zhen was raised and sent to the Northern Tang Dynasty after sixteen years was not to cause trouble in the Northern Tang Dynasty, this was just a superficial reason to paralyze Ren Zhen.Later, he secretly monitored Ren Zhen, tortured and trained Ren Zhen, and he was also the one who planted Gu in Ren Zhen's body.He was the overseer of the entire program.Now, Ren Zhen openly rebelled and annihilated the most elite white-robed main force in the Southern Jin Dynasty, which made him full of anger and had to come back to ask for instructions, what to do next.That target appears, and it should be possible to close the net.He wiped away the blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and his voice was terrible, "I really didn't expect that raising tigers is a problem, and that little beast is good at it, and he can defeat the Wuxin of the Eight Realms."
If we don't catch him back, we won't be able to close the net" Emperor Wu looked at the sword in his hand and said casually: "I personally visited Wuxin, and he told me that the little guy used the deed of participation.Yesterday I had already sent someone to Kunyu Mountain to confiscate the true truth, but unfortunately let those two old things escape. ”Cao Chunfeng's expression was slightly relaxed, "No wonder he can match the Eight Realms, it turns out that he borrowed someone else's magical powers."
Li Yunlong has raised him for many years, and he has been in love for a long time, and if he knew this, he should have changed to another hall to do this errand.Now that it is clear, I am afraid that Fengwutang has also betrayed. ”Emperor Wu didn't talk.He never cared about these small fish and shrimp in his eyes.Cao Chunfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Ren Zhen's ambition is getting bigger and bigger, I still have to arrest him back, otherwise the situation will only get worse."
Your Majesty, what do you command" Emperor Wu turned around and looked at him deeply, "You are injured like this, you have no intention of being pierced through your heart, Senior Brother Changsheng has had one of your arms cut off, and now our damage is too great, and we are not absolutely sure of closing the net."
Grasp the real thing, and talk about it slowly. ”Cao Chunfeng understood and knew that he was talking about Ren Zhen on the surface, but in fact, it was not.Emperor Wu picked up the scabbard on the ground, inserted the sharpened sword into it, and held it in his hand, "The first thing you have to do is to find a way to find that drunkard, and tell him on behalf of me that the enemy he has regretted for half his life has been found."
If you want to wash away your shame, wait for my notice. ”Cao Chunfeng nodded vigorously."
Second, inform the two armies of the Northern Expedition that no matter what the progress is, they will immediately stop the offensive, stand by in place, and prepare for the return of the squad to the DPRK."
When Cao Chunfeng heard this, he was stunned, "Why have we been planning carefully for many years to have the good situation we have now, occupying a large area of the city in the north of the Yangtze River."
Although the white-robed army was destroyed, the Northern Tang Dynasty only had its last breath left, how could we take the initiative to give up" He was reluctant to fight hard for more than ten cities, and the success fell short.Emperor Wu stood with his hands in his hands, and said quietly: "I have changed my mind, since it is difficult to catch Ren Zhen, I will not collect the net in Jinling."
Withdraw the army, let the woman breathe this breath first, so that we can see the greater liveliness" Like Ren Zhen, he only has the general trend in his eyes, and he doesn't care about the gains and losses of specific cities.Cao Chunfeng seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and bowed his head and said yes.I don't know when it began, but there was a drizzle outside the hall, and it was blank.Emperor Wu stared at the rain curtain and continued to explain: "Third, send a message to Yu Lianzhou to complete his task as soon as possible.In addition, let him meet Yuan Benxi and shake out Ren Zhen's life experience. ”Cao Chunfeng's eyes lit up.Seeing that the poor dagger was finally about to let Ren Zhen show his original form Emperor Wu sighed lightly, his expression was inexplicably melancholy, and he muttered: "Yother, I haven't seen you for many years, I have always missed you":
