Longevity begins with Orion.

Chapter 232. Chapter 230. One foot of red silk dare not go forward

In the dark night, the bright moon shines on the palace.

Wearing a dragon robe, the Son of Heaven hurried through the winding and long corridor with a sword in hand, and then rushed into the Dragon Hall.

He locked the door like crazy, and then, like a drowning man struggling, he held his hand towards a small circular mechanism.

spin
spin
Rotate again.
After a few clicks, the secret chamber opened.

The young emperor rushed in, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old swallow kite on the table.

He seemed to have found his backbone.

The expression of impatience and panic faded away, and the eyes regained their clarity.

This kite is his spiritual pillar, and it is with this spiritual pillar that Ji Hu can live in peace until today.

No matter how many gossip about the queen mother and Xiaoyaohou are heard outside, no matter how many people and officials secretly laugh at him, he will not move like a mountain, and even secretly rejoice, just because he understands that the emperor father exists, and the queen mother in his heart is also An elegant, dignified, and righteous woman.

Since that kind of woman made him call "false father", there is probably only one possibility: the false father is the father emperor, and the father emperor has retreated behind the scenes for some reason.

As for the means, Ji Hu, as the emperor, knew the "shadow makeup" used by the Lotus Sect in the early years.

In this way, everything can be explained clearly.

The royal father has great expectations for him, and he can't let the royal father down.

For Ji Hu, these years were mostly cold and cold, ruthless, indifferent, full of death and blood.

And the warmest memory in his life is that man carrying him around the streets of Mingyue Mansion.

The most delicious food in his life was also the candy that man bought from the street.

The man picked some and put them on his lips, looked at him with the warmest smile in the world, and said, "Nurse, have a taste."

He stuck out his tongue and licked it, then sucked the man's fingertips in one gulp, waved his hands excitedly, and said in a childish voice: "It's delicious, Daddy, I still want to eat."

The most memorable time in his life was actually that man.

The man held the swallow kite and flew it very high, then carried it on his shoulders, put the kite line at his fingertips, and told him: "Without the line, the kite will not fly higher, but will go straight. Falling; without law and discipline, people will not live happily, but their families will be destroyed; self-discipline, although people feel restrained, but it will make people stronger and stronger."

Many memories flashed through Tianzi's mind.

He caressed the old kite in front of him with five fingers, then slowly clenched it tightly, muttering with a relaxed smile: "Keep striving for self-improvement!
Since the Queen Mother wants to annex Yanzhao, she must have the permission of the Emperor Father. In this case, I will listen to them.

They have a point.

Father, you can't be wrong. "

"call"

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and his ugly face relaxed.

But the next moment, he seemed to notice something was wrong.

He grabbed the kite suddenly and looked left and right.

But the words "self-improvement" disappeared.

The emperor looked and looked like crazy, but still didn't see those four words.

With a cold expression on his face, he suddenly clenched his long sword tightly, walked out of the dark pavilion, and then clapped his hands lightly.

There seemed to be a black current surging in the darkness in the distance, and after a while, the little ghost in red appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty, do you have a decision?" Yuchang licked his lips, looking like he couldn't help but want to kill.

The emperor just said lightly, "Follow me and protect me." Then he came to the door, summoned all the maids in the Longyin Palace, held their swords against each other, and asked in a cold voice: "Who has entered my house today? bedroom?"

The maids were silent.

The emperor raised his sword.

Just when he was about to make an example of others, two court ladies finally ran out on their knees.

"Your Majesty, we have cleaned inside."

The emperor recognized these two court ladies, they were two old men in the palace whom he still trusted. These two had been serving him all the time, and they were usually very dutiful.

But now, he mercilessly passed the news to his trusted guards and started the interrogation.

The screams of the interrogation continued.

The emperor sat expressionlessly behind the darkness of the screen, waiting for the report.

For a long time and a long time. The stars have been like water, and the bright moon has set in the west.

Under interrogation, the two maids still did not admit that they had entered the secret cabinet.

Not to mention admitting it, even the Dark Pavilion and the others don't know about it.

However, they confessed everything they did in the palace on a daily basis. At most, these things were things like taking small money and bullying the maids outside based on their status.

The emperor was not interested in hearing it.

Just as he was about to get up to search for more suspects, he suddenly sat down again.

Because the two bewildered court ladies who had been tossed about by the interrogation had already begun to tell what happened many years ago, everything.

One of the incidents was that ten years ago, one day the emperor seemed to have gone crazy after returning from Yaoxinchi. He had a high fever and became seriously ill, muttering "Kite, swallow kite" in his mouth.
Then the two maids got together and hurried to the street to buy a swallow kite and sent it to the emperor's bedside.

After that, the emperor regained his senses when he saw the kite.

The emperor suddenly drew his sword, and wanted to turn around and kick over the screen, beheading the two maids.

But he stopped abruptly, and then called the guards to start investigating the "imperial doctor", the "historian who recorded the emperor's daily life record", the "kite seller on the street", and everyone from all walks of life.

The entire palace boiled, and people walking fast were everywhere in the shadows.

These people each carried out secret orders and traveled between the deep palace and the imperial capital.

Many footsteps are like the deep notes pressed on the keys, intertwined into a symphony of turbulent undercurrents of conspiracy.

Two hours later.
All the results gathered around the emperor.

The daily record says, "The Emperor has a headache" and "The Emperor sometimes has some hallucinations."
Ji Hu scanned it, and found that many of the medicines in it were indeed taken by him, and he did sometimes suffer from headaches.

As for the hallucinations, they were real in his own memory, but looking at them now, he felt an inexplicable fear and self-doubt in his heart.

The imperial doctor remembered that ten years ago, the emperor, who was still a boy, had a headache after returning from Yaoxin Pond, and then he also mentioned the matter of "the maid buying a kite".

Countless facts have gathered in front of Ji Hu.

Ji Hu stood up suddenly, drew his sword and danced wildly, shouting: "Fake! You are all lying to me! Fake! It's all fake!"

However, the imperial doctors, living officers, palace maids, and guards all knelt down tremblingly and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Ji Hu wielded his sword, staggered, and fell down suddenly. Then he stood up in embarrassment, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and then poured a little bit of hot blood from the porcelain bottle. It was fourth-grade blood, high-grade blood. Kaiping left it to him.

Gao Kaiping said that if necessary, it can be used to detect whether the person next to him is a ghost or not.

He stained his fingertips with blood, and then smeared it little by little on the people kneeling in front of him.

He was very much looking forward to the appearance of "Walking Skeleton".

No.

Everyone is normal.

Ji Hu clapped her hands dispiritedly, signaling for everyone to leave.

In an instant, everyone went to the sky.

Ji Hu sat on the eve of dawn.

It's time for him to make a decision.

Is the kite with the words "self-improvement" written on it just his illusion?

If not, then in this palace, no one can convince so many maids, imperial physicians, and living officials at the same time, especially this area is still controlled by the queen mother, especially many of these people are arranged by the queen mother herself.

Unless these people are not themselves, but have been replaced.

But just now, he has already proved that this possibility does not exist with the blood of the fourth grade.

At this moment, apart from the facts in front of him, Ji Hu couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Fish intestines."

he cried silently.

The little devil in red showed his figure.

Ji Hu asked: "Where is Xie Wei?"

Yuchang: "Yao Xin Pond has been changed to Yao Palace by that one, she is at ease in the palace."

Ji Hu said: "Bring her to see me."

Yu Gu: "The guards of the Imperial City have been summoned by the Queen Mother, and there are many hidden guards around her, and there are countless secret passages in the Yao Palace. I am worried."

Ji Hu said: "Then let Taifu Gao, let Gao Kaiping, let them act together with you!
Bring Xie Wei to me alive!
There are so many things I want to ask her personally! "

Yuchang respectfully replied "Yes", and then disappeared into the shadows with a playful laugh.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced the horizon and fell into the deep palace, thousands of noises sounded in the distance.

Fire breaks out.

The sound of fighting of gold and iron horses can be heard everywhere.

The Son of Heaven sat slumped on the stone steps of the Hall of Dragons.

From time to time, his confidants would return and tell him the situation outside.

Gao Kaiping, who was supposed to have gone south to defend against the barbarians, came back with the Feixiong Army, and is now attacking the Yao Palace, fighting with the Imperial City Guard.

The Imperial City Guard is a private soldier created by the Empress Dowager. It has received a lot of resources, so it is not easy to defeat it.

But their opponents were Gao Kaiping and Fei Xiongjun, so they couldn't fight at all.

In the shadows, many corpses were being thrown out, and those were either hidden guards or dragon guards.

The dark guards are the sons and daughters of the empress dowager.

Longwei was formed by the emperor himself.

There are very few people in Longwei, and they take the route of few but fine, and their leader is Yuchang.

At this time, it was a direct confrontation with the secret guard.

The officials who went to court were trembling with fear, but a burly man in ordinary clothes appeared in front of the palace to comfort them.

This burly man is the original Tibetan Dragon Road Jiedu Envoy - Yingshan Xing.

Speaking of which, this Yujing was originally from Yingshan Travel, so he naturally knew all the officials here.

Although he had no official status at the moment, the officials felt much more at ease when they saw his appearance.

In Yao Palace.

Xie Wei was completely panicked.

She never thought that Xiao Qiang would be in trouble.

The outer defense line fell one after another, and both the imperial guards and the secret guards were dying quickly.

But the "[-] Hanzhou Cavalry" she relied on most was sent out overnight by her.

She wanted to swallow up the land of Yanzhao and unify the rivers and mountains, and then free her hands to deal with the southern land.

In her opinion, the four kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Han and Wei are not vegetarians, and they will not be broken by a single touch from the Southern Barbarians no matter what.

When the time comes, she won't be able to just sit back and reap the benefits, but she will be able to see the situation clearly and prescribe the right medicine.

"Damn! Damn!"

"What idiot taught the nurse to do this!"

When there is a big war, they will send out troops to join forces. After that?
After that, isn't it a mob, a mess?Everyone hoped that the opponent's army would go first, but instead, each army lacked combat power.

"The opportunity to swallow Yanzhao is right in front of you! Right in front of you! Why would someone want to take advantage of the time when the Ai family sent troops to fight and seize the power of the Ai family?"

Xie Wei was furious.

There was the sound of a certain beam collapsing in the distance. When she looked outside, she saw that the raging fire had engulfed a corner of a certain palace.

And below, it was the Feixiong Army and the Imperial City Guard who were fighting.

The general with the white horse and the silver gun took the lead, and he was invincible wherever he went.

Xie Wei squinted her eyes and looked at the general who had guarded her from a distance. She took a deep breath and decided to walk out of here and then have a good negotiation with Longmai.

Since the guardian wants to take the position, let him take the position.

Isn't this his growth?

Although this growth was too disregarding the overall situation, but this time he really seized the opportunity after all.

Xie Wei straightened her dark golden phoenix robe, and then straightened her bun, before going out.

Suddenly, a voice came from the shadows.

"Second sister, don't go out."

Xie Wei was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see the swordsman in gray who suddenly appeared in the palace looking at her with a smile.

Who is this gray-robed swordsman if he's not Li Yuan?

"How did you come?"

"I came here early and watched the show all night before coming to see you."

"you!"

Xie Wei was a little speechless, "You have already watched the show, so you must have seen it clearly, why did you act now? Is it... under your control again?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Second Sister, I'm just here to take you away, and I don't intend to make a move."

Xie Wei's pretty face showed a look of astonishment, and she said in surprise: "Why?!"

Li Yuandao: "Let's go first."

"Aijia won't leave! Aijia."

Xie Wei wanted to say more, but Li Yuan had already bullied her and tried to persuade her, "It wasn't the dragon's veins, nor the guardian, maybe... it wasn't the fairyland, it was a hidden deeper force, even I Have never seen clearly.

How about jumping out first and watching the game later? "

A hidden deeper power?
Xie Wei didn't dare to believe it: "You are talking nonsense, there is no such thing at all."

Before she finished speaking, Li Yuan raised his hand.

Snapped!
With a soft sound, Xie Wei collapsed and fainted.

Li Yuan picked up the crook of her leg and carried it on his shoulder.

In fact, he can also see that the queen mother has been under a lot of pressure during this period, and she is already a little "superior" and "unconscious", and now she is on the verge of "completely losing her mind".

And this state often appears in "losers".

If he doesn't come, the empress dowager who is besieged here has only one end, and that is to die.

Don't say anything like "the emperor said that the queen mother must be brought to him alive", isn't it normal for a few people to die by mistake in a chaotic battle?
Xie Wei will not live to see the emperor.

And Li Yuanhu forced her to stay, but it was meaningless.

When the time comes, he will have to face endless undercurrents, pressure from all countries, the attack of the Southern Barbarians, and interference from dragon veins, mysterious forces, and fairy realms.

The Queen Mother was like a chess piece that had been surrounded.

Besieged, this pawn should be taken away, thrown away, and died. If it continues to exist forcibly, it will be an enemy of the overall situation. At that time, I don’t know how many endless nonsense things will be involved.

When playing chess, you have to follow the rules, right?
Especially since Li Yuan felt that he was not qualified to sit on the chess table, he had to abide by the rules.

However, he didn't want the Queen Mother to die.

Therefore, he came here ahead of time, took the lead to help the mysterious opponent, and removed the queen mother.

Li Yuan pressed the crook of the Queen Mother's leg with his left hand, and smoothed the hem of her dark gold phoenix robe with his hand, smoothly covering her plump buttocks.

Then, he took out a mask with a few pennies from his pocket and put it on, then tapped on the table lightly.

From the shadow of the palace, two women in black clothes and black top hats suddenly stepped out.

This is the impermanence of judicial proceedings.

The two impermanents each carried a person in their hands. As soon as they arrived in the deep palace, they respectfully worshiped Li Yuan. The task they received was to fully cooperate with this mysterious existence.

And a few years ago, this person led them into the Yao Palace, and then entered the ghost street here.

After that, they stayed in the ghost street.

Yan Jun Niangniang has extraordinary means, and has created a new kind of power in these years, that is, "no need to wait, directly enter and exit the ghost street", which makes them no longer need to go around like the original Xingke. It took a long time to enter the ghost street.

"Let's arrange it quickly."

Li Yuan said lightly.

The two black-clothed impermanent judges respectfully responded, and then quickly placed the corpses they were looking at on the collapsed floor, causing the two to become entangled, and then quickly added some "necessary traces" to the palace. .

Li Yuan glanced at them and saw that they looked exactly like Xie Wei and Chang Xin. However, these two corpses were made by selecting two death row inmates who had similar physiques to Xie Wei and Chang Xin and then put on dark makeup. .

The transportation of corpses in Ghost Street can be entered from other places, and then come out through here.

After Heiyi Wuchang finished all this, he quickly poured oil on it, and then lit the place with a big fire, and then bowed to this mysterious existence, then quickly turned and left, and entered the ghost street through a narrow entrance.

Li Yuan put Xie Wei down for a while, and was about to leave first, and then pulled Xie Wei out with ghostly hands.

But when he moved, he suddenly felt something,
Xie Wei's location was the secret place of Yao Palace, and Xie Wei would arrange many suspicious formations, so the strong men who attacked here did not find it for a while.

But at this time, the fire exposed this place in an instant.

Although the entire Yao Palace is on fire, for a real strong person, they must be able to find the abnormality here.

Sure enough, someone came.

It was a quiet footstep, very thin and light, better than anyone Li Yuan had ever seen, including Qinghan City before, including the disciples from the Immortal Realm who he was waiting for that day.

But so what?
He raised his hand and made a random move.

A dazzling red silk fluttered from his sleeve, pierced through the crack of the burning door like a spirit snake, and then appeared at the entrance outside the door.

The red silk ribbon is fluttering, dazzling, and contains great power.

It lingers like a wave, gurgling and moving, and ordinary people would think that it is just an ordinary red rope that happens to fly in mid-air.

But these ordinary people definitely do not include the comer at this time.

The braided kid in red held a short sword in his hand and licked the blade with the tip of his tongue. The blood of many people was still on the blade. The strong men among the secret guards were completely vulnerable to him.

His figure was like a ripple hidden in the shadows, and he quickly arrived in front of this abnormal burning palace.

Yuchang's cold eyes flashed with a hint of teasing. In this land, he could kill whoever he wanted.

As for the Queen Mother
Her life will end today.

She has raised the emperor, and she has become a blocker.

Yu Chang thought so, but suddenly his pupils constricted, and his fast-moving figure was forced to stop.

He saw a red ribbon floating in front of the door.

He looked at Hong Ling and suddenly shuddered. Then not only did he stop moving forward, but he retreated.

He couldn't understand what this red silk was at all.

But he knew that this red silk could kill him easily, just like killing an ant.

After a while, the general riding a tall horse in the distance also rushed here with a gun, and behind the general there were still many fierce cavalry from the Flying Bear Army.

But before Gao Kaiping could react, the white horse transformed from a ghost horse under his crotch had stopped quickly.

The horse's eyes shone with fearful green light, staring quietly at the red silk, but did not dare to take a step further.

Gao Kaiping looked up at the red silk, and was silent for a while.

"General! We"

One of his athletes spoke.

Gao Kaiping raised his hand to signal him to stop talking, then looked solemnly at Hong Ling, and then at the kid in red not far away.

He saw an emotion called "fear" in the eyes of this terrifying assassin who had become a "nightmare" 2000 years ago.

For a long time, for a long time.

The mysterious red silk suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Gao Kaiping raised his hand to signal.

Two flying bear army cavalry rushed into the burning palace with guns, and turned back immediately.

The door wrapped in flames slammed down obliquely with a "bang", and everyone could clearly see that the deep palace collapsed, and a couple of men and women were embracing themselves.

It was vaguely visible that the woman was wearing the Queen Mother's dark gold phoenix robe, and the man was wearing the prince's python robe.

The two people hugged each other without shame, and were gradually destroyed and melted in the fire.

Gao Kaiping watched silently, and when the house was almost burned, he said: "Extinguish the fire!!"

Guru Guru Guru
Xie Wei was awakened by the sound of the wheels turning.

She held her forehead and said, "Aijia. Aijia."

After saying a few words, she suddenly remembered her situation and hurriedly opened the car curtain, only to see a wilderness outside the car.

The green carpet is like a carpet and the trees are luxuriant.

Further away is the rolling hills.

She opened the curtain in front of her again, only to see a man in gray clothes driving a chariot.

This man, she recognized, was really her brother-in-law—Ximen Gucheng.

"Second sister, are you awake?" Li Yuan said.

Xie Wei was silent for a long time, and asked, "How is Yujing?"

Li Yuandao: "The Queen Mother and King Xiaoyao felt that the situation was over, so they burned themselves in the fire and died."

Xie Wei suddenly rushed out of the curtain and jumped under the carriage.

Li Yuan stopped the reins, looked at her and said, "Second Sister, do you still want to go back? Your surroundings have been infiltrated into a sieve."

"impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible."

"Who is that?"

"The mysterious forces that have just surfaced, perhaps they have always been there, but they are dormant."

"What made them appear?"

"The Nanman invasion." Li Yuan said casually, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, the real purpose of invading the Nanman is not actually this land of mountains and rivers, but to destroy the meat fields and ghost fields.

Now that Immortal Realm is gone, some people couldn't sit still, so they emerged from the darkness, trying to stop these invading Nanman. "

"But why does Longmai do this?"

"The dragon's vein is to help the emperor protect the country, and wants to resist the Nanman. But it may not see this force clearly."

Li Yuandao said, “It’s all just my guess.

However, at this moment, Queen Mother, you really deserve to die, so I will help you die in Yao Palace. "

Xie Wei was silent and stood there, clasping her hands tightly. The messy dark gold phoenix robe was blown up by the wind, and the hem of the skirt moved, revealing the white snow on the phoenix shoes.

"Second sister, you are no longer the Queen Mother. Come back to Nandi with me and live next door to me and Xiao Yu'er." Li Yuandao.

Xie Wei looked at her toes and said softly: "Ai family, Ai family, I, I'd better not go."

Li Yuan waved his hands and said with a smile: "Second sister, wasn't it all between the emperor and the queen, Xiaoyaohou and the queen mother in the past? You are still the second sister of me and Xiao Yu'er, and she has been thinking of you and thinking of you all the time." ."

Xie Wei bit her lip, looked up at the man on the royal seat, and asked softly, "Is there really no hope of turning things around?"

Li Yuan asked back: "Why do you want to make a comeback here?"

Xie Wei let out a long sigh, and then whispered: "Then, don't let anyone know about our affairs. We... we can't actually do it."

"It's the Son of Heaven and the Empress, and the Marquis Xiaoyao and the Empress Dowager." Li Yuan emphasized.

Xie Wei nodded, said "yes", and then got into the carriage again.

Suddenly, she felt a kind of heartfelt relaxation.

Maybe it's time to start a new life.
