Chapter 356 Where is the Emperor?
Chapter 356 Where is the Emperor?
Late at night.
Mia and Mina glanced at each other secretly. Both of them were pale, with red eyes, like haggard female ghosts.
Boom boom boom!
The sound was continuous, like the sound of striking iron, but then it stopped abruptly.
Mia was a little surprised why Concubine Xian didn't howl like a ghost this time, and the next moment she heard the order.
"You two come over here and help me."
"She fainted."
Mina shook her head frantically. The smell lingering around her seemed to be highly poisonous, and she dared not move forward even a step.
Mia hurried over to pull the other person up. Now was not the time to do anything stupid. If the emperor lost interest in Concubine Xian, it would be self-evident who would take over in the second half.
The candlelight flickered.
Outside Jingren Palace, a female official suddenly came to report.
Zhuang Ya felt her eyelids heavy and she pinched herself hard before she came to her senses. She walked out of the hall and stopped the female official.
"The snake is busy, just say it if you have something to say."
The female official reported: "News came from the outer court that the head of the Wudou Dao had returned from the outer border and was said to be on his deathbed. The queen requested to leave the palace to visit her father."
Filial piety is above all else, and the Queen’s request is both legal and righteous.
Before Zhuang Ya turned around, a reply came from inside the hall.
"Yes."
"Your Majesty thanks His Majesty."
……
Before dawn.
The queen came to the Taoist palace under the escort of a group of female priests.
Deep in the Taoist temple, she saw her father whom she had not seen for a long time. The pain and grievances that had accumulated during this period suddenly burst out, and tears flowed down her face in the blink of an eye.
"Father, His Majesty doesn't like his daughter and has allowed a little dwarf to bully me everywhere. I have been looked down upon in the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs privately say that I am a fake queen!"
Lying on the couch, the Taoist chief looked haggard. He glanced at the supreme elder who was bowing his head and admitting his mistake, and let out a long sigh.
"Xuan'er, I have something I must tell you."
The queen wiped away her tears, calmed down and said, "You say."
The Taoist leader said bitterly: "You and His Majesty cannot have children. If it were an ordinary Grandmaster, we could still help by relying on our various elixirs. But after your father was promoted to the peak of Grandmaster, he realized that the gap at this stage is extremely large and cannot be made up by elixirs."
The Supreme Elder remained silent. He personally pushed the daughter of his old friend into the abyss. Before the Taoist Master came back, he thought this was a good marriage. At the very least, the mother would be honored in the future by her son.
As for the possibility of the Queen being promoted to Grandmaster, it can be basically ignored. She is just a weakling, so how can she have the will of a Grandmaster?
The blow came suddenly.
The queen seemed to have heard a bolt from the blue. The blood in her body ran cold and everything in front of her eyes went dark.
During this period, she had been comforting herself that there was still a future, and no matter how hard life was, she could get through it. Even if the emperor had a cold temper, he would not deliberately distance himself from her or even go to Kunning Palace to sleep. Once she became pregnant with the dragon seed, everything would be fine. But now she was completely desperate, the deep palace was like a cage, and there was no hope for the future.
After a while, the queen laughed bitterly and said, "What a trick of fate."
"Blame me." The Supreme Elder said sullenly.
The Taoist leader said earnestly: "The false emperor has stolen the throne, and I will not forgive him. The great changes will happen soon. There is no possibility for you and the emperor to be together. Don't be discouraged."
"It has nothing to do with me."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the queen returned home.
In the Taoist temple, a figure in a red robe walked out of the shadows, with a knife hanging from his waist and a white lotus between his eyebrows.
The leader of the Demon Cult looked at the frivolous young man playing with the flying knife across from him and said, "Let's see how good you are." Ah San saluted gracefully, "I admit defeat."
"You two are both kind-hearted people with lofty ideals. There is no need to cause unpleasantness." The Taoist leader stood up to smooth things over. Apart from his grim face, he did not look like he was dying. He was just seriously injured.
"The Lord of East Sea City has passed Tongguan and will arrive in Beijing by evening at the latest. The Lord of Snow Mountain has heard that his homeland has been lost and has agreed to take action. This matter is closely related to the Central Plains New Dynasty."
The Demon Cult leader frowned upon hearing this: "The Lord of East Sea City seems to be a little slow."
The Grand Elder smiled and said, "On the way, the City Lord met Su Lang of Jingnan, a young talent, who is the Confucian and Taoist hope that can conquer the world. It is said that the two sides discussed the classics, history, and literature, which made the City Lord's sword training more majestic, which delayed him for a while."
The leader of the Demon Cult nodded. Jingzhou was under his control. He had heard of this talented man with great fortune. He was still an ordinary scholar now, but in the future he might become a master and accomplish unprecedented feats.
The Taoist leader said resolutely: "Kill the false emperor and restore Daqian. We have no shirking our responsibilities. Life and death, victory or defeat, all depends on this moment."
Asan stood not far away and remained silent. He didn't dare to respond to this sentence. First, he didn't want to, and second, he didn't dare. He gave himself a fake name when he went out of the border, and now he has infiltrated the core of the rebellion. These guys are about to die, but they are completely unaware.
……
early morning.
The Mi sisters sent someone out of Jingren Palace. As for the virtuous concubine, the white fox girl, she no longer cared about etiquette at this moment.
Jiang He led Zhuang Ya back to Qingdu Palace, took a short rest for two hours, and then took out the martial arts book to look through it again.
Books after books turned into ashes, and the debris was soaked with Dan Jin's violent power. Zhuang Ya held the ashes and smeared them on the city walls.
This method of infecting the imperial city was quite inefficient and was far inferior to Jiang He doing it himself, but he planned to find something for the little guy to do so that he wouldn't fall asleep standing there again.
Jiang He activated his spiritual thinking and integrated the essence of martial arts into his mind. Martial arts patterns completely covered his upper body and thighs. With the previous accumulation, his comprehension speed was getting faster and faster.
By sunset, he had mastered all 400,000 martial arts, and his entire body was sparkling with patterns full of Taoist charm.
"A total of 770,000 copies."
"Stop now. The level of the Martial Saint's Body and the Extraordinary Spear Skills will most likely be perfect."
"But Jizhou has not been settled, and Yangzhou's martial arts have not yet reached the capital. In addition, there are four states and a hundred thousand mountains, and half of the food resources are still available."
Jiang He pondered for a moment, he realized that he had underestimated the extraordinary knowledge accumulated in the entire world. He had only considered the horizontal aspect before, and ignored the vertical aspect of historical inheritance. For example, the various secret techniques of the Great Snow Mountain contained the wisdom of martial arts that had been perfected from generation to generation for thousands of years.
"Can you swallow the martial arts of this world for ten thousand years without dying?"
Jiang He doesn’t know the specific answer either, so the result is worth looking forward to.
Not long after, an eagle landed and handed over a note - the Lord of Donghai City is coming to Beijing.
Wuhe is still in the Ministry of Justice. He doesn't think that a group of silver creatures who may not even be at the peak of their power can pose a threat to the boss. Even if the number increases to hundreds, they will all die without any difference.
Jiang He stood up calmly, his robe embroidered with gold dragons spotless.
"Aya, go find Lao Hei."
"Okay." Zhuang Ya trotted away.
In the current animal team, Lao Hei, who finally becomes the player, still needs a little protection from his teammates.
……
at the same time.
At the east gate of the capital, a carriage slowly stopped.
The middle-aged commoner left a sword manual for the coachman as agreed, and the latter burst into tears of gratitude.
The appearance of the Lord of Donghai City caused the streets to be deserted by the people. Everyone, from peddlers to kings and generals, was extremely curious about this legendary figure.
Dong Lin Cang Hai Xiu Zhen Sword, has never been defeated in the past sixty years,
"Emperor, where is he?"
