The brocade uniformed guards make an arrest, does not need to change the place, looks for a spatial prison cell to close. 郑司狱一进来,就大刀阔斧的改革,惩治贪腐。锦衣卫抓了人,都不用换地方,找个空牢房就关进去。 First warden former subordinates buckle most, Military Officer Niu takes the lead to invest under Warden Zheng, under cruel methods to colleague of being on intimate terms. 前司狱旧部折损大半,牛校尉率先投入郑司狱麾下,对称兄道弟的同僚下狠手。 Naturally, again how turbulent, prison guard who also the influence delivers the food! 当然,再怎么动荡,也影响不到送饭的狱卒！ „That congratulated Uncle Niu.” “那就恭喜牛叔了。” Zhou Yi looks at the Military Officer Niu hoary hair, among the features hidden has the dead air/Qi, once draws back not to know that can support for several years. 周易看着牛校尉花白头发,眉目间隐有死气,一旦退下去不知能撑几年。 Parents' beloved son, counts profoundly. 父母之爱子,则为之计深远。 Foundation of Niu in Sky Prison, personal connection of over a hundred years of operation, once discarded, how can guarantee that the big family property, does test the playboy son of the influential depending on that three even juren? 牛家的根基在天牢,上百年经营的人脉,一旦舍弃了,怎么能保证偌大的家业,凭那三个连举人都考不过的纨绔公子哥？ In Sky Prison closed/pass many highly placed people, Zhou Yi stood is auditing is looking. 天牢中关了多少达官贵人,周易站在一旁听着看着。 The respected families attack from outside, for a while was, many were first deteriorates from the interior, the wind came one to collapse! 大家族从外面攻,一时是倒不了的,多是先从内部衰败,风来一来就塌了！ The colleague good friend gathers together chatted, finally the topic will change to the putting down a rebellion battlefield, this was nearly five years of Laifeng Yang Guo important matter. 同僚好友聚在一起闲聊,最终话题都会转到平叛战场,这是近五年来凤阳国的大事。 The grand marshal two years decide north, command an army to march south already for more than three years, the tactical situation is really intense, the government gazette frequently publishes the grand marshal broken enemy several tens of thousands of ten several tens of thousands of. 大元帅两年定北,挥师南下已经三年多,战况甚是激烈,邸报经常刊登大元帅破敌数万十数万。 Prison guard Yecheng hehe said with a smile: „The broken enemy number of royal government gazette, in addition has 3,000,000-4,000,000, south rebel has such army, hadn't encircled Divine Capital directly?” 狱卒叶城嘿嘿笑道:“朝廷邸报的破敌数,前后加起来已经有3,000,000-4,000,000,南方反贼有如此大军,还不直接围了神京？” Zhou Yi reminded: „ Brother leaf cautious word, 周易提醒道:“叶兄弟慎言, This saying made the Li family hear, you sought a prison cell. ” Now Li in Fengyang country prestige, but must surpass in the past Minister Long, how after all the official abuses power again, compared with series soldier hundreds of thousands of military officers. 这话让李家人听到了,你自个儿寻个牢房。”如今李家在凤阳国威望,还要超过当年龙相,毕竟文臣再怎么弄权,也比不过统兵数十万的武官。 The marketplace has the rumor, the southern three years of uncertainties, are Li Wu raise the invader dead weight! 市井早已有流言,南方三年不定,就是李武养寇自重！ „Your this boy does not know!” “你这厮知道个屁！” Military Officer Niu scolded one: „The south may have the rebel army incessantly, your majesty said that five years do not accept the grain, the north side rebel army demoralization. The south side may be different, land rent one point receives much.” 牛校尉呵斥一声:“南方可不止有叛军,陛下说五年不纳粮,北边叛军士气崩溃。南边可不一样,地租一分都不少收。” Zhang Jia offered condolences to the crowd, Military Officer Niu is the peak status, side person heard this saying to collect in abundance. 张家吊唁人群中,牛校尉已是最顶尖的身份,旁的人听到这话纷纷凑过来。 „Who also dares to defy the royal government order?” “谁还敢违抗朝廷政令？” „Ahem!” “哼哼！” Military Officer Niu has not continued, a topic revolution: „Easy boy to refine to the internal organs, this year your year vitality has started to decline, later may be getting more and more difficult.” 牛校尉没有继续说,话题一转:“易小子有没有炼至脏腑,你这年岁气血已经开始衰落,以后可越来越难了。” „Also has needed some years.” “还要过些年。” Zhou Yi shakes the head, five years pass by, the physique tempered the accomplishment, however the vitality refine the internal organs is a bottleneck. 周易摇摇头,又五年过去,筋骨锤炼到了大成,然而气血炼脏腑是个瓶颈。 The skin membrane and physique are the masterly skill, accumulates over a long period of time the tempering to become. Building up dirty, washes the marrow is the soft time, cannot come, many people temper the internal organs forcefully, the five internal organs breakage hemorrhage of directly building up. 皮膜、筋骨属于硬功夫,日积月累磨炼就能有所成。炼脏、洗髓则是软功夫,万万不能强来,不少人强行锤炼脏腑,直接炼的五脏破裂出血。 „Your this boy is wise, eventually was muddled returning. Money threw into the martial arts and banister, a marriage has not become, when raised you to old whom?” “你这厮聪明一世,终究是糊涂了回。银子都扔进了武道和勾栏,连个亲事都未成,待到老了谁养你？” Military Officer Niu recovered the gathering place, wants to laugh to make noise, thought that this situation is inappropriate. 牛校尉似是找回了场子,想大笑出声,又觉得这场合不适当。 For these years consulted Zhou Yi a lot, Military Officer Niu had the misconception each time, as if oneself were a stupid boorish fellow. 这几年没少请教周易,每次牛校尉都有错觉,仿佛自己是个愚蠢莽夫。 „If by some chance which day, breakthrough innate grandmaster?” “万一哪天,就突破先天宗师了呢？” The earnestness that Zhou Yi said that the person of presence only thought that is cracking a joke. 周易说的认真,在场之人只觉得在开玩笑。 The Fengyang country now the definite two masters, one is soldiers and horses grand marshal Li Wu, another is a south side was known as the rebel army that dark green Son of Heaven commands. 凤阳国如今确定的两位宗师,一个是兵马大元帅李武,另一个是南边的号称苍天王的叛军统领。 At this time. 这时。 Some people come in hurriedly, said loudly. 有人急匆匆的进来,大声说道。 „Just some people saw soldiers that announced success, said that was the grand marshal destruction rebel main force, captured alive that two Son of Heaven!” “刚刚有人见报捷的军卒,说是大元帅覆灭反贼主力,活捉了那两位天王！” The people in an uproar. 众人哗然。 Under the victory report news in the royal government intends to publicize, quick spreads over Divine Capital. 捷报消息在朝廷有意宣扬下,很快就传遍神京。 ...... …… Hong Chang five years. 弘昌五年。 In September 21. 九月廿一。 Today is the grand marshal withdraws troops to return to the day of towards, the Divine Capital east gate pushes watertight. 今天是大元帅班师回朝的日子,神京东门挤得水泄不通。 The imperial guard stands by the path, collects the common people unceasingly backward, leaves behind the army general path. 禁军站在道路两旁,不断向后归拢百姓,留下大军通行的道路。 Zhou Yi asks for leave specially, the restaurant by the street occupied near the window seat. 周易特意请了假,早早在街旁酒楼占了临窗位子。 In the past the dim light of night darkness left far, cannot see the innate grandmaster elegant demeanor, today happen to makes up regretted. 当年夜色黑暗又离得远,未能一睹先天宗师风采,今天正好弥补遗憾。 Noon. 晌午时分。 The earth shock, the hoofbeat transmits. 地面震动,马蹄声传来。 What takes the lead to enter a city is four rows of cavalries, on the black mail-armor and helmet proliferates the sword trace, murderous aura imposingly. 率先进城的是四列骑兵,玄色甲胄上遍布刀剑痕迹,杀气凛然。 „Each one has the skin membrane boundary strength, no wonder sweeps away the north and south, if commonplace. In the past the dog emperor plundered the world, was used for the refine the pill of immortality spiritual cultivation incessantly, but also trained the martial arts cavalry secretly.” “个个都有皮膜境实力,难怪横扫南北若等闲。当年狗皇帝搜刮天下,不止用来炼丹修道,还秘密培养了武道铁骑。” Zhou Yi recalled at this time, the dog emperor as if is very long the beforehand matter. 周易此时回想,狗皇帝似乎很久以前的事。 In the past the power leaned Minister Long of government and people, rampant domineering Young Master dragon, the appearance recorded is not quite clear. 当年权倾朝野的龙相,嚣张跋扈的龙公子,模样都记不太清了。 End of the cavalries is grand marshal Li Wu, was still the silver armor young fellow appearance, during five years swept the northern Dingnan, the surface such as the jade pendant adorning a hat link wind and frost not to stay behind, like the son of the influential who going to tour. 骑兵末尾是大元帅李武,仍是银甲小将模样,五年间扫北定南,面如冠玉连一丝风霜都没留下,就像出去游览的公子哥。 Young charming, the strength is tyrannical, is meritorious, the power and influence is dreadful! 年轻帅气,实力强横,功勋卓著,权势滔天！ So the character, is similar to the leading character in story-telling script, just made an appearance causes the common people to cheer. 这般人物,就如同话本中的主人公,刚刚露面就引得百姓欢呼。 The Zhou Yi vision hangs down: „Innate grandmaster is fiercer than the imagination, this is only the mediocre person, the immortal demon in that legend......” 周易目光低垂:“先天宗师比想象中还要厉害,这还只是凡俗中人,那传说中的仙魔……” Li Wu follows behind two prison van, is the fine steel builds, only reveals a head outside. 李武身后跟着两辆囚车,皆是精钢打造,只露出个脑袋在外面。 First, white hair such as the old man of frost ; second, having hair dishevelled Daoist. 其一是白发如霜的老者,其二是个披头散发的道人。 „Is this that yellow Son of Heaven and dark green Son of Heaven? Hearsay height zhang (3.33 m) two, robust, each food must eat 35 live people, how fresh so aged emaciated?” “这难道是那黄天王和苍天王？传闻身高丈二,虎背熊腰,每顿饭要吃三五个活人,怎么生的这般老迈瘦弱？” „You understand, that dark green Son of Heaven once was the Jiangnan Martial arts world hegemon, subordinate four eight schools, in the rebel army the expert stemmed from this numerously.” The man black vigor attire of speech, the waist conducts the arm the treasured sword, obviously is in rivers and lakes the person. “你懂个甚,那苍天王曾是江南武林盟主,麾下四宗八派,叛军中高手众多就源于此。”说话的汉子玄色劲装,腰挎宝剑,显然是个江湖中人。 „Became the martial arts world hegemon, that also makes instead?” “当上了武林盟主,那还造个屁的反？” „In the past who doesn't want to revolt?” “当年谁不想造反？” „This brothers, what background that yellow Son of Heaven, heard that he is a leader?” “这位兄弟,那黄天王什么来路,听说他才是首领？” „Legend humanities is a taoist priest, the night dream strange people must pass on the immortal law, may draw up the magical amulet to work miracles, was known as that the immortal yellow God was reincarnated......” man to say shaking the head. “传说此人本是个道士,夜梦异人得传仙法,可绘制灵符撒豆成兵,号称仙人黄天公转世……”汉子自己说着摇摇头。 View that this type profound different measures not, to brainwash rebel army, is most likely incredible. 这种玄异莫测的说法,就是为了洗脑叛军,十之八九不可信。 The royal government for the inspired popular sentiment, the same propaganda defeats the rebel army 2,000,000-3,000,000! 朝廷为了振奋民心,一样宣传击破叛军2,000,000-3,000,000！ ...... …… Next day. 翌日。 Zhou Yi comes Sky Prison to be on duty, sees from afar rides on duty black. 周易来天牢当值,远远就看到黑骑值守。 Anybody goes in must search, then from Zhou Yi , uncovered the dagger, sleeve arrows and short crossbow, not the well-known poisonous powder and pitch-black pill...... 任何人进去都要搜身,然后就从周易身上,搜出了匕首、袖箭、短弩、不知名毒粉、乌黑药丸…… „This is really used to defend self!” “这真是用来防身！” Zhou Yi explained over and over, finally Warden Zheng acts, admitted Sky Prison. 周易再三解释,最终还是郑司狱出面,才放进了天牢。 „Sir, what's all this about?” “大人,这是怎么回事？” Warden Zheng said: „Dark green and yellow two rebel armies commanded, shut in Sky Prison, the grand marshal sent 3000 profound armor army to guard.” 郑司狱说道:“苍、黄两位叛军统领,关进了天牢,大元帅派三千玄甲军镇守。” „How not to go to Imperial Prison, there was more stern!” “怎么不去诏狱,那里森严多了！” The Zhou Yi brow slightly wrinkle, the dark green and yellow two people are unusual. 周易眉头微皱,苍、黄二人非同一般。 A martial arts world hegemon, say/way gate strange people, escapes to gather the soldiers and horses again, lifts the flag rebellion. 一个武林盟主,一个道门异人,逃出去就能再聚拢兵马,举旗造反。 Warden Zheng said spookily: „Your this boy delivers the food well, what manages so many makes, escaped seriously can also be you are responsible for?” 郑司狱幽幽说道:“你这厮好好送饭,管那么多做什么,当真逃了还能是你负责？” „Many thanks the Sir raises.” “多谢大人提点。” Zhou Yi is disinclined to ponder over the deliberation hall to struggle, instead is interested in dark green and yellow. 周易懒得琢磨朝堂斗争,反而对苍、黄二人颇感兴趣。 In Sky Prison also has profound armor army on duty, a five post, a ten sentry post, the expert hidden is monitoring in secret. 天牢中同样有玄甲军值守,五步一岗,十步一哨,还有高手隐在暗中监视。 No. 1 A prison. 甲一号狱。 Zhou Yi opens the door, the short distance saw the dark green Son of Heaven. 周易打开牢门,近距离见到了苍天王。 The fine steel punishment frame that at the same night produces in a hurry, the thigh thick iron lock and iron chain, bundled died the dark green Son of Heaven four limbs and nape of the neck. 连夜赶制的精钢刑架,大腿粗的铁锁、铁链,捆死了苍天王四肢、脖颈。 Out of the door profound armor army are staring stubbornly, spooning out rice that Zhou Yi keeps silent, feeds in heaven Wangju. 门外玄甲军死死盯着,周易默不作声的舀饭,喂到苍天王嘴里。 „Boy inner qi is pure, resembling is Taoism inherits, what a pity practices dead also second-class. The old men pass on your no exalted god merit, ten years then innate, wants to study?” “小子内气精纯,似是道家传承,可惜练到死也不过二流。老夫传你一门无上神功,十年即可先天,想不想学？” The Zhou Yi ear broadcasts the old sound, shot a look at the eye profound armor army, slightly does not have any sound. 周易耳边传来苍老声音,瞥了眼门外玄甲军,丝毫没有任何动静。 „This passes message densely into is the old man special secret skill, don't said these young animals, that Li Wu also gave up any idea of that hears.” “这传音入密是老夫独门秘技,莫说这些小崽子,那李武也休想听到。” Zhou Yi nods slightly, listens quietly as follows. 周易微微颔首,静听下文。 „inner qi like the spin, after mansion, crosses Cloud Gate...... to abandon from the air/Qi.” “内气如旋,经中府,过云门……自气舍出。” Another sound biography hears, however not no exalted god merit, but passes message into the dense technique. 又一段声音传入耳中,然而并非什么无上神功,而是传音入密之术。 Zhou Yi reassignment dantian inner qi, according to the dark green Son of Heaven said operates, tries to send out two coughs. 周易调动丹田内气,按照苍天王所说运行,试着发出两声咳嗽。 „!” “咳咳！” The entrance profound armor army were unresponsive, still stared at Zhou Yi to feed the food. 门口的玄甲军毫无反应,仍然盯着周易喂饭。 Half barrel of food feed, Zhou Yi carries the barrel to leave, does not pay attention to the dark green Son of Heaven who passes message repeatedly. 半桶饭喂进去,周易拎着桶就离开,丝毫不理会屡屡传音的苍天王。 „Your this young thief, secure Ganqi old man!” “你这小贼,安敢欺老夫！”
