C274 Legend of the Haunted House

Qin Er continued, "I don't know where we are right now, but judging from what you've said about the haunted house, it's most likely the former Minister of War, Ding Rukui's courtyard."

Fann Wuji was a little surprised and said, "So Ding Rukui's other courtyard is here?"

Qin Er said, "I am not sure if this is Ding Rukui's courtyard. I can only tell when I have the time to see it clearly."

Looh Miaoer habitually looked around and found that Qin Er, Fann Wuji, Yee Zhenbiao and Xiang Dapeng's expressions were a little unnatural at this moment. So she smiled and said, "Look at how mysterious you guys are. Could it be that there is something fishy in Ding Rukui's other courtyard?"

Qin Er and Fann Wuji looked at Yee Zhenbiao and Xiang Dapeng, and then looked at Wen Wenya, who had a blank look on her face. Fann Wuji then thought about it and said, "Everyone in the capital knows that there are ten famous gardens in the city. The most famous one is the West Garden of the Emperor's Pill Cultivation. The most secretive one is the other garden of the former Minister of War, Ding Rukui. I heard that when Minister Ding was alive, there was a mysterious pagoda hidden in the other garden. In his life, there were often strange phenomena appearing. But after his death, the pagoda disappeared without a trace. It was rumored that the pagoda was still in his other courtyard. Many people who coveted the pagoda tried to find out, but in the end, they did not know where the pagoda was. On the other hand, those people that went to investigate had vanished without a trace as if they'd vanished into thin air, and all of them were said to have entered Ding Rukui's courtyard and hadn't come out. Thus, Ding Rukui's courtyard was rumored to be a haunted house that caused one's expression to change when they heard it. No one dares to go in and investigate now."

Ma Yuxiao said, "I have heard father talk about Ding Rukui before. He said that although he is capable, he is timid and has no opinions. In the end, he was harmed by a traitor. I just don't know what happened."

Su Er said, "The former Minister of War, Ding Rukui, has both civil and military skills. He has some prestige in the Imperial Court. Because of one matter that was not handled properly, he caused his family to be ruined and his reputation to be ruined. Until now, no one is willing to mention him."

Ma Yuxiao said with interest, "Since there is nothing else, can Sect Master Qin tell us about it?"

Qin Er said, "This matter is a long story. It will start from when the leader of the Mongol Tata Division, I, led troops to invade the Central Plains. I wonder if everyone has the mood to hear about it?"

Ma Yuxiao seemed to be a little impatient as she urged, "Sect Master Qin, please tell us. No one doesn't want to hear about it!"

Qin Er saw that Du Qi and Looh Miaoer were looking forward to it. He no longer cared about what other people thought. He sorted out his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "It should be nine years ago. I was prepared to use Datong as a breakthrough point to invade the Central Plains. Straight to the capital. "

Ma Yuxiao said confidently, "Datong is the gateway to the north. It is heavily guarded. Didn't I ask for trouble by using Datong as a breakthrough point?"

Qin Er sighed and said, "That depends on who is guarding Datong."

Ma Yuxiao said, "Who was guarding Datong at that time?"

Qin Er said, "Ren Datong's chief soldier, Chou Luan, was originally a greedy person. He was originally Gan Su's chief soldier, but he was sentenced to prison due to the crime of corruption. Later on, he used someone to bridge the bridge and bribed Yan Song, the chief officer, with three thousand taels of gold. He had also acknowledged Yan Song as his godfather. Not only had he been pardoned of his crimes, but he had also been given the position of commander of the Xuan and Datong armies. This Chou Luan does not have a Wen Tao or martial arts strategy. In the face of my invasion, she does not have any martial arts strategy. She had long been frightened out of her wits as she hurriedly shut the city gates. She did not dare to resist at all. When he saw Me preparing to attack the city, he panicked even more. He actually sent his trusted aides to secretly meet me and bribe me with a large sum of money. He begged me not to attack his own defensive area and transfer to another place. "

Ma Yuxiao did not believe it and said, "This move can be used on the battlefield?"

Qin Er said, "I answered that when I invaded the Central Plains, it was nothing more than robbing my property and my people. He received the great gift from Chou Luan and immediately led troops to the east to attack the north entrance of the city called the Chang City."

Ma Yuxiao said, "The general of Gu Bei's mouth should not be as shameless and shameless as Chou Luan, right?"

Qin Er sighed, "Although he tried his best to resist, how could he not have a few soldiers? He was short of food and soldiers, his morale was unstable, and he did not have any reinforcements. How could a small mouth of the north defend against my army of tigers and wolves?"

Ma Yuxiao knew that the Japanese pirates in the south were very evil and the war in the court was not strong. On the contrary, Yu Dayuv, a famous general who fought against the Japanese pirates with all his effort, was sentenced to prison. This caused the Japanese to become more and more severe and no one could stop them. She did not expect that Hu Lu in the north was also rampant. She could not help but sigh, "The court's soldiers are like tigers and wolves. How can they be so vulnerable?"

Qin Er seemed to be a little angry as he said, "Isn't it because Yan Hao, that traitor, mistook power for power?"

Everyone in the world knew that the Emperor only cared about cultivating and refining pills and seldom asked about political matters. The first assistant, Yan Hao, seized the opportunity to monopolize power and eliminate dissidents. He still flattered and welcomed; to the lower, he monopolized the power. He would monopolize all the power, increase the number of his followers, and nurture them. He would plant a large number of his henchmen in the important departments of the court. And then he controlled the power of the court. Yan Hao did not think that he was the only one in charge of the court. He also made his only son, Yan Shifan, who did not get the title of Imperial Examinations, into the temple hall as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works. From then on, the father and son would be in charge of the court. Even if the prince had something to do, he would give them gifts and ask them to handle it. Both inside and outside the court called them "Prime Minister," and it could be seen from this that the father and son were corrupt and arrogant.

Qin Er calmed his agitated mood and said with some excitement, "Yan Song and son are dictators. They are willful and unruly. They corrupt the rules and regulations and throw the court into chaos. This caused the decline of the power of the country and caused its marginal affairs to be abandoned. After Great General Zeng Xian was killed by them, there were no more good generals in the northwest border. That was why I answered so arrogantly, daring to invade and attack at the mouth of the ancient northern border. I conquered this fortress with ease. "

Ma Yuxiao stomped her feet and sighed. "If Gu Bei loses his mouth, won't Hu Lu enter straight into the fortress?"

Qin Er said, "After I conquered Gu Bei's mouth, I led the army and marched straight into the city, killing and pillaging all the way to the capital."

Ma Yuxiao seemed to be somewhat helpless as she said, "What kind of reaction does the Imperial Court have now?"

Qin Er said, "The news of Gu Bei's mouth falling into enemy hands has spread into the capital, and both the Imperial Court and the outside are shocked. The officials and officials looked at each other in dismay. They were worried and worried. The people in the city were anxious, and it was up to fate. All of a sudden, the entire capital was filled with panic and panic. Although they did not think of a good plan to retreat, the Imperial Court quickly reacted. The Minister of War, Ding Rukui, ordered the various battalions of the capital to strengthen their defenses. After the military order was given, the troops were unable to gather. All of this was because the Emperor only cared about the Immortal Dao and did not care about state affairs. He allowed Yan Song and his son to be in charge of political chaos and did whatever they wanted. He did not care about the safety of the country, people and the people. He did not care about military affairs. The management of the army was lax, the discipline was lax, and the style was loose. He did not raise soldiers usually. How could he use them now? "
