Longevity begins with Orion

Chapter 232 230. The one-foot-long red silk didn’t dare to step forward, the Yao Palace was in flames, and she escaped without a trace (please subscribe)

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

The emperor in dragon robes hurriedly walked through the long and winding corridor with a sword, and then rushed into the Dragon Song Hall.

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

swirl

swirl

Turn again.

After a few clicks, the secret chamber opened.

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

He seemed to have found his backbone.

The impatience and panic faded away, and his eyes became clear again.

This kite is his spiritual support. It is with this spiritual support that Ji Hu can live peacefully to this day.

No matter how many rumors about his mother and Xiaoyao Hou came from outside, no matter how many people and officials secretly laughed at him, he remained motionless, and even secretly rejoiced, just because he understood that his father existed, and so did his mother in his heart. An elegant, dignified, and righteous woman.

Since such a woman made him call her "fake father", there is probably only one possibility: the fake father is the father, and the father has retreated into the background for some reason.

As for the means, Ji Hu, as the emperor, knew the "yin makeup" that the Lotus Sect had used in the early years.

In this way, everything can be explained clearly.

His father had great expectations for him, and he could not let him 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 was that man carrying him running up and down 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 it to his mouth, looked at him with the warmest smile in the world, and said, "Gu'er, have a taste."

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

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

The man grabbed the swallow and flew the kite very high. Then he carried him on his shoulders, put the kite string on his fingertips, and told him: "Without the string, the kite will not fly higher, but will fly straight." Falling; without law and discipline, people will not live happily, but will have their families broken up and people killed; although self-discipline makes people feel constrained, it will make people stronger and stronger."

Many memories flashed through the emperor's mind.

He lightly caressed the old kite in front of him with his five fingers, then slowly tightened it and murmured with a relaxed smile: "Continue to strive 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 their own reasons.

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 suddenly grabbed the kite and looked left and right.

But the four words "constantly strive for self-improvement" disappeared.

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

With a cold look on his face, he suddenly clenched his sword and walked out of the dark pavilion, then clapped his hands gently.

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

"Your Majesty, are you determined?" Yuchang licked his lips, looking like he could no longer control himself and wanted 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 as silent as a cicada.

The emperor raised his sword.

Just when he was about to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, two palace ladies finally ran out on their knees.

"Your Majesty, we went in and cleaned up."

The emperor recognized these two palace maids. They were the two old men in the palace whom he still trusted. These two people had always served him and were usually very responsible.

But now, he directly summoned his trusted guards without mercy and began the interrogation.

The screams of interrogation kept coming.

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

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

Under interrogation, the two palace ladies still did not admit that they had entered the secret chamber.

Not to mention admitting it, even Ange and the others didn'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 listened with little interest.

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

Because the two bewildered palace maids who were tortured by the interrogation had already begun to talk about what happened many years ago, and they talked about 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 palace maids gathered together and hurriedly went to the street to buy a swallow kite and sent it to the emperor's bedside.

Then, the emperor regained his consciousness when he saw the kite.

The emperor suddenly drew his sword, turning around and kicking over the screen to kill the two palace ladies.

But he stopped abruptly, and then called the guards to start checking the "imperial doctor", the "historian who recorded the emperor's daily life", the "kite seller on the street", and all kinds of people.

The entire palace was boiling, and the shadows were filled with people walking quickly.

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 conspiracy with turbulent undercurrents.

Two hours later.

One after another, 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 used by him, and he did have terrible headaches sometimes.

As for the hallucinations, they were real things in his own memory, but now looking at them, 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 Yaoxinchi, and then he also mentioned the matter of "the palace maid buying a kite".

Countless facts have gathered in front of Ji Hu.

Ji Hu suddenly stood up, 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, you can check whether the person next to you is the corpse of an evil spirit.

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

He was looking forward to the appearance of "Xingke".

But no.

Everyone is normal.

Ji Hu clapped his hands in dismay, signaling for everyone to leave.

In an instant, everyone was gone.

Ji Hu sat on the eve of dawn.

It's time for him to make a decision.

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

If not, then no one in this palace can convince so many palace maids, imperial doctors, and daily officials at the same time, especially since this area is still under the control of the mother, especially because many of these people are arranged by the mother herself.

Unless these people are no longer themselves, but have been replaced.

But just now, he has used the fourth-grade blood to prove that this possibility does not exist.

At this moment, Ji Hu could no longer think of other possibilities except the facts before him.

"Fish intestines."

he shouted silently.

The little devil in red showed his figure.

Ji Hu asked: "Where is Xie Wei?"

Yuchang: "The Yao Xin Pond has been changed into the Yao Palace by that person, and she is at home in the palace."

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

Yuchang: "The imperial city guards have been mobilized by the Queen Mother, and there are many secret guards around her. 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 many things I want to ask her personally! "

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

As the first ray of sunlight broke through the horizon and fell deep into the palace, thousands of noises could be heard in the distance.

Fire breaks out.

The sounds of fighting between armed men and horses were everywhere.

The emperor sat slumped on the stone steps of Longyin Hall.

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

Gao Kaiping, who was supposed to have gone south to resist the barbarians, has returned with the Flying Bear Army and is now attacking the Yao Palace and fighting with the Imperial City Guards.

The Imperial City Guard was a private army created by the Queen Mother. It received a lot of resources and was not easy to defeat.

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. Those were either secret guards or dragon guards.

The secret guards are the children of the Queen Mother.

The Dragon Guard was formed by the emperor himself.

There are very few people in the Dragon Guard, and they follow the route of being small but refined. 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 undoubtedly the former Jiedushi of the Hidden Dragon Dao - Ying Shanxing.

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 the Yao Palace.

Xie Wei was completely panicked.

She never thought that Xiao Qiang would be the cause of trouble.

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

But the "30,000 Hanzhou Iron Cavalry" she relied on most were sent out overnight.

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 it! Damn it!"

"What idiot taught the nurse to do this!"

As soon as the war started, they sent out troops to join forces. What happened next?

Isn’t it going to be a ragtag group of people after that? Everyone expected the other side's army to advance first, but instead every army lacked combat power.

"The opportunity to annex Yan and Zhao is right in front of us! Right in front of us! Why would someone take advantage of the Ai family to send troops to fight to seize the power of the Ai family?"

Xie Wei was furious.

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

And underneath, it was the Flying Bear Army and the Imperial City Guards who were fighting.

The general with the white horse and silver spear leads the way and is invincible wherever he goes.

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 much and did not take the overall situation into consideration, this time he finally seized the opportunity.

Xie Wei straightened her dark gold phoenix robe, stabilized her bun, and was about to walk 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?

"Why are you here?"

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

"you!"

Xie Wei was speechless, "You have already watched the show, so you must have seen it clearly. Why are you taking action 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 take action."

A look of astonishment appeared on Xie Wei's pretty face, 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 stepped forward and persuaded, "The one who attacked you was not Dragon Vein, nor Hu'er, or perhaps. Not Immortal Realm either. It was a deeper power that was hidden even for me. Haven't seen it clearly.

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

A hidden deeper power?

Xie Wei said in disbelief: "You're talking nonsense, it's not true at all."

Before she finished speaking, Li Yuan had already raised his hand.

Snapped!

With a soft sound, Xie Wei collapsed and fainted.

Li Yuan picked up her legs and carried her on his shoulders.

In fact, he could also see that the Queen Mother was under great pressure during this period. She was already a little "superior" and "unconscious" at this time, and now she was on the verge of "completely losing her mind".

And this state often appears in "losers".

If he doesn't come, the Queen Mother who is surrounded here will only have one fate, and that is death.

Don't say "the emperor said that the Queen Mother must be brought alive to him", wouldn't it be normal for a few people to accidentally die in a random fight?

Xie Wei will not live to see the emperor.

And Li Yuan protected her and 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 fairyland.

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

If it is surrounded, this chess piece should be removed, thrown away, and died. If it is forced to continue to exist, it will be an enemy of the entire overall situation. By then, 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 did not want the Queen Mother to die.

Therefore, he came here in advance and took the first step to help the mysterious opponent and remove the Queen Mother's chess piece.

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 worth a few cents from his arms and put it on, and then tapped the table lightly.

From the shadow of the palace, two women wearing black clothes and high black hats suddenly walked out.

This is the impermanence of judicial proceedings.

The two Wu Changs each carried a person in their hands and worshiped Li Yuangong as soon as they arrived at the deep palace. The task they received was to fully cooperate with this mysterious existence.

A few years ago, this man led them into the Yao Palace and then into the ghost street here.

After that, they stayed in the ghost street.

Lady Yan Jun has extraordinary means and has created a new power in these years, which is to "go directly in and out of the ghost streets without waiting", which eliminates the need for them to go around and around like they did in the first place. It took a long time to enter the ghost street.

"Let's arrange it quickly."

Li Yuan said calmly.

The two judges in black responded respectfully, and then quickly placed the bodies they were looking at on the collapse, entangled the two together, and then quickly added some "necessary traces" in 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 done from other places and then exited through here.

After doing this, Wuchang in black quickly poured oil on the place, and then lit the place with a fire. Then he bowed to this mysterious existence, then quickly turned around and left, entering the ghost street through a narrow entrance.

Li Yuan put Xie Wei down a little, then prepared to leave first, and then pulled Xie Wei out with his ghost hands.

But as soon as 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, a truly strong person will definitely be able to discover something unusual here.

Sure enough, someone came.

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

But so what?

He raised his hand and made a random move.

A dazzling red ribbon floated out from his sleeve, slithered through the crack of the burning door like a snake, and then appeared at the entrance.

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

It lingers like waves, gurgling and moving. If an ordinary person would think it was just an ordinary red rope flying in the air.

But ordinary people do not include those who come 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. There were still many people's blood 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 unusual 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 had raised the emperor, and she had become the one standing in the way.

Yuchang thought so, but suddenly his pupils narrowed, and his rapidly advancing 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. Behind the general were many powerful 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 flashed with fearful green light, and it stared at the red silk, but did not dare to take another step.

Gao Kaiping looked up at Hong Ling and was silent for a moment.

"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" two thousand years ago.

A long time, 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 then turned back.

The door wrapped in flames fell down with a "bang", and everyone saw clearly that the deep palace collapsed, and a man and a woman were hugging each other.

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. When the room was almost burned, he said: "Put out the fire!!"

Gulu gulu gulu

Xie Wei was woken up by the sound of the wheel hub 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.

Farther away there are undulating mountains.

She opened the door curtain in front of her again and saw a man in gray clothes driving a chariot.

She recognized this man, he was really her brother-in-law—Ximen Gucheng.

"Second sister, are you awake?" Li Yuandao.

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

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

Xie Wei suddenly rushed out of the car 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? Everything around you has been infiltrated into a sieve."

"impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible."

"Who is that?"

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

"What forced them to show up?"

"The invasion of the Southern Barbarians." Li Yuan said casually, "I'm afraid you still don't know that the real purpose of the invasion of the Southern Barbarians is not the mountains and rivers, but the destruction of the meat fields and ghost lands.

Now that the Immortal Realm is gone, some people can't sit still, so they emerge from the darkness, trying to stop these invading southern barbarians. "

"But why does Longmai do this?"

"The dragon vein is to help the emperor protect the country and wants to resist the southern barbarians. But it may not have seen 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's family, Ai's family, I, I'd better not go."

Li Yuan waved and said with a smile: "Second sister, in the past, wasn't it all between the emperor and the queen, Xiaoyao Hou and the queen mother? You are still the second sister of me and Xiao Yu'er. She has always been thinking about you. I miss you. .”

Xie Wei bit her lip, looked up at the man on the driver's seat, and asked softly: "Is there really no hope of a comeback?"

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."

"They are the emperor and the queen, Xiaoyaohou and the queen mother." Li Yuan emphasized.

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

Suddenly, she felt a genuine sense of relaxation.

Maybe it's time to start a new life.
