I'm not Murong Chong

When the next day was auspicious, the emperor went to court, the great witch came to the hall, sacrificed to the heaven and the earth, recited the blessing, and led the wives and empresses through the three halls of Taihua, Yong'an, and Tianqin, and finally arrived at Zhujinfang.

From the Sangong and Jiuqing down, officials of all ranks are waiting in the front of the square under the Wufeng Pailou. When the saint arrives, he will be greeted by Huang Zhong and Dalu. Brilliant color - thinking that although Tuoba Wei State came from the grasslands, it has been born in less than ten years since the establishment of this school of royal majesty and grandeur.

Tuobagui ascended to the throne and sat down slowly, the family members, servants, and foreign ministers below suddenly knelt down on the ground, saying long live.

All the empresses and concubines to be elected have just stepped forward at this moment, following the old customs of the Dai Dynasty to pay the most important gift to Tuobagui, Tuobagui raised his hand expressionlessly, and ordered all the women to die—these women have been with them for many years or have been favored for a while Or to spread branches and leaves for the Great Wei to continue the clan, but Tuoba Gui looked at them with only secretive indifference and indifference.

The concubines who participated in the election were all made up according to the high-quality goods, surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, followed by the servants and officials of their respective palaces, holding brocade trays in their hands with sand molds, gold nuggets, measuring tools, etc. that had just been brought out of the inner warehouse. All with wax seals.Among all the people, only Mrs. Liu's face was the palest, and even rouge could not erase the unwillingness in her eyes—she remembered the shocking words that Tuo Basi left yesterday when he left yesterday: "A Mu Dun At the time of the grand ceremony, you must not cast a golden man! Father is suspicious, he knows everything about today but keeps it hidden, and it is definitely not just exposed. If A Mu Dun really succeeds in casting gold, he will definitely doubt you and Wei. If the king conspires, even if he is promoted to the middle palace, it will inevitably bring disaster to himself."

"Then what will happen to my son in the future?" Mrs. Liu panicked. Her father and brother are dead, and the most important thing in her life is her only son.Tuoba Si stomped his feet anxiously: "Father is arbitrary, how can he be controlled by others to choose a prince? A Mu Dun shouldn't conspire with the uncle! If someone else succeeds in casting gold and picking up the phoenix crown tomorrow, A Mu Dun can still be there Enjoy wealth and honor in the harem; if not, I am afraid that disaster will happen to my mother and son!" Tuoba Si Zaohui, although he is only seven years old, he can see that Tuoba Yi's support for them is not out of good intentions, and he is also in awe of his father Tuobagui Far more than family affection.Mrs. Liu has no opinion, previously she believed in Tuoba Yi deeply, but recently she began to obey her son's advice, so she agreed with tears.

At this time, Zhongchang Shi Zongqing came to the stage according to the order, and unfolded the imperial edict to read out the statement-the six nobles who were the first to be cast into golden men, that is, they were canonized as empresses, and all the concubines obeyed the edict.

Afterwards, the imperial officials called out loudly, the door of the square opened wide, and the six nobles turned around one by one, walking towards their unknown future.

Wei Wang Tuobayi suddenly said: "Slow down!" He turned to Tuobagui: "Your Majesty, after the casting of gold, it is a big matter, please check it again to show fairness."

As soon as the words fell, all the kings reconsidered one after another - Tuoba Yi was afraid that Tuoba Gui would still be jealous of him because of yesterday's incident, so he proposed a re-examination at this time, so as to get rid of Tuoba Gui's suspicion.

Tuobagui glanced at him indifferently, and then said: "Cui Hao, check the preparations of each palace again."

Cui Hao also knew in his heart that Tuoba Yi came to him on purpose, and the relationship between the two of them was finally settled.But because he asked himself to inspect the gold-casting matters, he naturally had a duty to do so, so he had to obey the order. The leading craftsman and the people in the government carefully checked all these materials, and even the subordinate officials who followed up with the gold-casting workshop, including Zhongchang Shizong Qingdu did a search.

In front of Chao Ru, he was very generous, he opened his arms and let others search, Cui Hao raised his hand, stopped others, and came to search in person.Chao Ru smiled, not at all angry, but took advantage of the situation and leaned over to Cui Hao's ear and whispered: "Cui Yilang has to be careful, lest when the grand ceremony starts, in front of the emperor's ministers, civil servants, and military officials, you again If something is wrong, and if there is any misunderstanding, it will be bad."

The veins on Cui Hao's forehead were bruised. He took a deep breath and forced himself to ignore the provocative words. Then he let go of his hands and got up, and said coldly, "Mr. Chao, it's not yet known who will die."

Chao Ru still smiled sickly, and stopped speaking.

Not long after the re-inspection was over, Cui Hao and his staff re-sealed and returned to the stage.Changshan King Tuoba Zun listened, and sneered: "Master Cui has personally inspected it beforehand, don't make any troubles later! The concubine in the harem is also offended if you say that you offend. Such a reason?"

Tuobagui coughed lightly, but didn't say anything to stop it.Cui Hao blushed with embarrassment - he naturally knew that Tuoba Zun was venting his anger for Tuoba Yi yesterday, after all, he unintentionally ruined their good deed.But ever since he entered and left the palace and served as a counselor for state affairs, many people hated him and hated him, and he had never been insulted like this in public. Even his father Cui Hong felt that Tuoba Zun and others were shaking mountains and shaking tigers, and they meant something. feel uneasy.

The gold-making workshop was originally located in a large courtyard with three entrances, and a high-rise colored shed was built on the outermost layer for the emperor, great witches, princes, and ministers to rest and wait here; Cui Hao, Chao Ru, Zong Qing and Ye Tingling participated in the casting of gold. The officials and craftsmen involved in the matter are waiting to be dispatched in the second entrance; and only the six concubines and the accompanying maids and eunuchs can enter the core workshop.

Mrs. He moved lightly with lotus steps, and when she passed by Chao Ru, she glanced at him meaningfully, Chao Ru and her eyes met for a moment, then hurriedly bowed his head to salute.

Hand-casting a gold man is not as easy as other ones. It takes time, and there are six furnaces for forging metal in the workshop. The ministers were different. The officials who waited in the middle were all extremely hot, but no one dared to leave and complain without permission. Zong Qing took the handkerchief handed over by Xiao Huangmen and hurriedly wiped his sweat, while the rest of them raised their sleeves frequently. Fan the wind.

At this time, the door of the workshop suddenly opened, and two court ladies walked towards a noble lady with a towering temple, the noble lady was still dejected and humming.Immediately, a young eunuch came out and reported: "Li Guiren failed in casting gold!" Zong Qing knew that this was probably because Li was eager to win the first place and forced the mold to be opened before the fire was ready, so that the golden statue broke, so he hurriedly raised his hand: "Quickly go out and report to the emperor!" While ordering people to escort Li Guiren down to rest, he sent people into the workshop to clean up. For a while, the palace servants filed in and out, and the scene was slightly chaotic.

Unexpectedly, just after a while of stability, the door of the workshop opened again, but it was He Lanmi who held her hands and led a group of court ladies and eunuchs striding out. She looked indifferent and kicked the little eunuch beside her: "Go and tell Zong Qing, I can't make a man of gold if my hand is broken and cracked again!"

Seeing this, Zong Qing turned his head and ordered: "Send your mother out of the workshop, and then report to the emperor, Mrs. Xiao He also failed to cast gold—"

He Lanmi scolded: "What's the hurry? Didn't I see that Bengong still hurts his hand and is bleeding? If there is a scar left, but the father-in-law is responsible?" Zong Qing didn't dare to offend this aunt, so he turned his head and grabbed one of them. The eunuch scolded: "Things without vision, have you not seen the wound on your mother's hand? Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come here quickly!"

All the servants hurriedly gathered around to wait on He Lanmi, but Cui Hao suddenly turned around and looked around, the place where Chao Ru was standing just now was really empty!

He knows it! ——Only just now, Mrs. He even made eye contact with this Chao Ru, and there must be collusion in the future.What better way to fish in troubled waters than in this chaotic time with doors wide open and people coming and going?He Lan's abandoning his car to protect his handsome man must have asked He Lanmi to deliberately create an opportunity for Chao Ru to come in and teach him the opportunity.

Cui Hao opened his eyes again, and saw Chao Ru's ochre-colored official robe flashing past the corner of the wall.He didn't say anything, and immediately raised his heels and walked over - he didn't believe that he couldn't catch his personal stolen goods this time!

Cui Hao brushed aside the crowd, and just after a few quick steps, Chao Ru dodged past the crowd and quickly disappeared.Cui Hao couldn't be reconciled, he gritted his teeth and searched for a long time near Zhujinfang, but he didn't even find a piece of Chao Ru's clothes.

He returned to the original place resentfully, and the Gold Casting Workshop had closed its doors again.Taking a closer look, Chao Ru stood there impressively, fanning the wind with his sleeves raised, and when his eyes met, he even winked at Cui Hao innocently.

Cui Hao knew that he might be tricked again, so he gritted his teeth angrily, furious.Just as he was thinking about how to take revenge, he suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from inside the wall, and the entire majestic gold-casting workshop was shaken slightly by the earthquake, and then everyone in the workshop screamed: "The furnace is blown! The furnace is blown up!" !"

Chao Ru raised his head suddenly, and rushed in first like an arrow off the string.

Cui Hao and Zong Qing reacted while being dumbfounded, and immediately led people to rush over.But seeing the huge gold foundry was in a mess, a blast furnace in the middle was torn apart, gold water slurred all over the ground, and an eunuch who was in charge of pulling the bellows to help the fire lay down beside him, seemingly out of breath.

Mrs. He stood in the corner of the wall blankly, and Chao Ru stood in front of her to protect her. Although he escaped because he was not too close to the fryer, the golden water splashed everywhere, and his cheeks, shoulders, neck and other skin were naked. There was a string of blisters.Chao Ru endured the pain and turned her head and asked, "Are you alright, ma'am?" Mrs. He's face was devastated, she shook her head tremblingly, obviously also half-dead by the sudden incident.The rest of the palace and concubines were also affected, and they were all frightened out of their wits.

Several maids and servants who were still in shock rushed forward and even supported Mrs. He who was weak in hands and feet. Tuobagui and the others who were outside had already heard the sound inside, and they all came in a hurry.Tuobagui looked around and raised his thick eyebrows: "It's so good, how could it blow up the stove!" Turning to the craftsman, he shouted: "But the stove you made is impure and impure, causing such a disaster? Do you also want to try to destroy the family?" Is it the taste of killing the clan!"

The craftsman hurriedly knelt down to express his feelings: "Your Majesty's lesson! I know that the furnace is for the hand-made gold man to choose the queen, so how dare I not supervise it with all my heart? Every furnace minister has inspected it again and again, and there is no slightest neglect! Ren Zhen couldn't bear to persuade him in a low voice: "Forgive him for daring not to give up his heart. Besides, if the blast stove is not right, it would have blown up a few days ago, so how can you wait for today?"

Ren Zhen reminded Tuoba Gui with one sentence - yes, there is no such unfortunate coincidence in the world, I'm afraid it will be another man-made disaster.He turned his head and asked, "Who made the furnace that exploded?" The left and right reported to Mrs. He.Only then did he think of his concubine, Chao Ru followed Madam He to see him, Tuobagui looked at him, but he was very embarrassed. The whole story of Mrs. He—Madam He really didn’t know anything about it, she just followed Chao Ru’s preface, and the person who secretly carried a medicinal herb called Dishuang on her body sprinkled it on the outside of the gold nugget and then threw it into the furnace. , Bitter cold can support combustion and make the ore easy to melt-according to what Chao Ru said, if you want to increase the melting speed of gold water and cast gold people first, one way is to lower the melting point and the other is to make gold nuggets flammable.The goal of adding brass to lower the melting point is too big, and it is easy to be discovered. Chao Ru deliberately did it before to lure Cui Hao into being fooled; in fact, the secret trick Chao Ru taught Mrs. Yuhe has always been the second method: coating with nitrate powder Put it into the furnace, after the hot flame burns, the nitrate evaporates completely, leaving no residue, and no one can find any flaws. She has tried this method many times before, and it has never made a mistake. Why is it happening today? Fryer!

After she finished speaking hastily, because she blindly pushes it, Tuobagui sees that she is at a loss and doesn't know how to ask further questions - anyway, Mrs. He can't play tricks on her own, and almost blows herself up, this is the suspicion of this side Basically clear.He turned his head and bowed slightly to the great witch: "There is no success in casting gold today, or maybe God's will is a warning-does the Kunlun God not want the Great Wei to have a mother of the country?"

As soon as the words were finished, a mosquito-like voice suddenly came from a remote corner: "Your Majesty, the sand mold of my concubine is still intact, you can have a look."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone immediately looked at the speaker in unison—it was the silent and gentle Murong. It turned out that she was the farthest away from Mrs. He, so the sand mold was intact. lossless.

Tuobagui immediately ordered Zong Qing: "Immediately open a model to observe!"

A few servants carried the heavy sand mold in the past. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zong Qing lifted the top of the mold, and there was a brilliant golden statue of a one-foot-long god in sight.The big shaman stepped forward, picked up the golden man himself, stroked it for a moment, raised his head above his head, and raised his voice to the audience: "It is God's will to make a golden man under the ruined walls." The optimistic Murong family is the Queen of Wei!Everyone exclaimed in unison, and Tuobagui's heavy mood just became a little more relaxed - compared with the concubines of the He family, the Liu family and other concubines from the Xianbei family, this helpless and nameless princess who married a foreign land, It is indeed more suitable to be his queen Tuobagui.He stood with his hands behind his back, and looked around the audience: "Then according to the words of the great witch, Murong's hand-made gold man will be able to succeed, that is, he will be canonized as the empress!"

All the people present bowed down one after another, shouting long live to congratulate the queen for a thousand years.

Tuoba Yi's various schemes came to nothing, he didn't know that Liu Shi was willing to give up on his own, seeing that she was also affected by the fryer, although she was not injured, but the sand mold fell, it was doomed to be a failure of casting gold, in vain, a newcomer Murong Shi!Feeling angry, he immediately came out and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the blast stove exploded without reason, Mrs. He and Mrs. Liu couldn't make gold because of this, I'm afraid something is wrong with my brother!"

Tuobagui raised his eyebrows, looked down at him and said, "What does King Wei mean?"

Tuobayi said in one breath: "Cui Hao has re-inspected again and again to confirm that the raw materials carried by the palaces are safe and intact. Now that such an accident occurs, Cui Hao is duty-bound!"

coming.Cui Hao's heart skipped a beat. Under Chao Ru's deliberate instigation, Tuoba Yi now regards him as a thorn in his side, and he will soon be removed.He quickly raised his official robe and knelt down on his knees: "The minister and Yousi did not find anything wrong during the inspection, please learn from your majesty!"

Tuoba Zun sneered: "God is also you, ghost is also you, you can say anything! If there is nothing wrong, why did you blow up the furnace?"

When He Lanna saw his daughter being frightened and Chao Ru injured, he was also furious—if this son hadn't intervened to hinder him, how could his daughter miss Zhonggong!Therefore, strict investigation is also required, and all the princes, relatives and dignitaries agree with it.

Tuobagui then ordered Tingwei to enter the palace, and the left and right Jiancheng led a group of subordinates to control the scene. After a while, he knelt in front of the king with a handkerchief in his hand: "I found this thing in the embers of the unburned charcoal fire—" Tuobagui Ba Gui opened his eyes and saw a mass of burnt charcoal in the handkerchief stained with spots of red and yellow. He took a sniff, and said slightly moved: "Regard?!" Realgar is dry and slightly poisonous, high Tasters can use wine as medicine, there are indeed hidden in the palace, but how could it appear here?

Ting Wei nodded and said: "There is also cinnabar. I have heard from alchemists that most of the elixirs made by Taoists contain several flavors of realgar cinnabar and other minerals, mixed with charcoal. After burning or explosion, you must always be careful."

In fact, realgar cinnabar and charcoal will not necessarily explode. In ancient alchemy furnaces, most of them were mixed with another medicinal material - saltpeter powder, also known as tooth salt and ground cream!Saltpeter and realgar plus charcoal were originally the raw materials for gunpowder. Taoist classics have long been studied, and there is only one record in the alchemy secret book "Baopuzi" written by Ge Hong from the Jin Dynasty, but no one in the Northern Wei Dynasty knew about it.

Tuoba Zun murmured: "It's strange! Could it be that a Taoist priest suddenly appeared in Zhujinfang to make alchemy?"

Cui Hong was hidden in the crowd, with a drop of cold sweat dripping down—he is true in his advocacy of Buddhism and Confucianism, but his son Cui Hao is as obsessed with talking about mysteries and seeking Taoism like a celebrity in the Eastern Jin Dynasty!Sure enough, Tuoba Yi sneered and said: "Why do you need to make alchemy here, as long as someone throws a few Nine-Turn Golden Pills in the furnace, wouldn't it be more convenient to do things!"

Tuobagui glanced at Cui Hao, who was kneeling and speechless—as far as he knew, Cui Hao was fond of alchemy, and he was the only one among his close ministers who would always carry pills by his side, and even his Xiaoyao Pills were presented by Cui Hao .He frowned and turned to Zong Qing: "Before the incident happened just now, who left without warning and did not return after a long time?"

Zong Qing rolled his eyes, and immediately confessed: "Only Cui Yilang suddenly left the middle court without authorization!"

Ye Ting Ling also reported: "For some reason, Cui Yilang left my sight when Mrs. Xiao He came out of the workshop, and he will return with a cup of tea!"

Since then, Cui Hao has been covered in white sweat. The evil results of his previous innocence and contempt for these lowly eunuchs have been fully manifested. At the moment, everyone testifies, and the right time, place and people all abandon him!

Tuobayi said: "The Han officials already supported the establishment of the Murong clan as the empress. Cui Hao concealed evil intentions and deliberately threw pills into the furnace to destroy the foundation of my expansion of Xianbei! Your Majesty just needs to search him to see if there are any." Carry the elixir containing realgar cinnabar!"

Why do you need to search, Tuoba Gui knows very well that apart from Xiaoyao Pills, he will take Cui Haojin's Zihuang Pills and Zhenhuang Pills to boost his energy when he is occasionally sleepy and tired, which one does not contain realgar?But Tuoba Yi is abominable, he brought this matter up with the newly established Murong Clan, wishing to overthrow the previous discussion and hold another gold casting ceremony, how could he do what he wished?Immediately, he declared loudly: "The way of heaven is too much, so there is such a catastrophe. Fortunately, I Tuoba royal family has a long blessing, and I can still establish the middle palace. The other concubines have worked hard, and I have my own reward. There is no need to discuss this matter again!" Glancing at Cui Hao, whose body was limp and white as paper, he continued: "Cui Hao has neglected his duties and disappointed me so much. He intends to deprive him of his official title, quit the palace, and think about his mistakes behind closed doors at home——I will never use him again!"

Chao Ru raised his head, bowed his hands slightly to the visitor, and said with a smile: "Master Cui, ah, I can't cry anymore. My brother packed his luggage and didn't forget to come to Ye Ting to visit me before leaving the palace. I really appreciate your kindness. "

Cui Hao's face was no longer calm and calm, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Chao Ru, today's bombing in Zhujinfang must be framed by you! Who told you that I carry realgar pills with me?" Yao taught you to use this series of vicious tricks! I once tracked down Ye Ting's official Wang Sanwa because of the matter of Wei Wang Baiguan, but he was suddenly called into the palace, and then drowned in a strange way, is it possible that there are still your accomplices in the palace!?"

Chao Ru raised his sleeve to cover his lips and coughed a few times, before he said slowly: "Without proof, brother, be careful. It is King Wei and others who hurt you today - the wall is overthrown and everyone pushes it, and it's also your fault that you act too much on weekdays." There is no room for it, so what do you have to do with Brother Yu? Moreover, according to what Brother Yu sees, even if you are dismissed today because of your great talent, as long as you wait patiently for 20 years, the dynasty will change in the future, and one day you will be able to make a comeback and become an extremely human minister. Now, why don't you lend me your seat for a while?"

"You!" Cui Hao couldn't bear it any longer, he strode forward and grabbed Chao Ru's lapel, angrily said, "You and I have no enmity, but each is our master. Even if the two are fighting wits, why bother to kill them all!"

Chao Ru's eyes were suddenly cold under the moonlight: "There is no hatred. It's just that you are too much in the way-since you have made great progress in Tuoba Guifang because of the medicine, I want you to be ruined because of the pill!"

Cui Hao's eyes were about to burst, and he was about to attack, but suddenly his neck felt cold, and his neck was already sharpened by a sharp blade.The cold light flashed past, reflecting a pair of eyes he was very familiar with, and then Ren Zhen's lazy voice sounded: "Cui Hao, you have been convicted of a crime, staying in the palace, and trying to hurt others, because you don't want you Has the Cui family lost their lives?"

Cui Hao was stunned for a moment, his hands froze immediately, but a flash of lightning flashed in his heart, and he asked tremblingly, "How did General Ren come here?!"

Ren Zhen withdrew the knife in his left hand, reached into his arms and took out a bottle of porcelain: "Chao Shilang was injured today protecting his master, the emperor commended him for his loyalty and bravery, and I came here to visit and deliver medicine at the emperor's order. Could it be that Mr. Cui is too?"

Cui Hao's expression changed all the time, his eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them, and finally he let out a sigh of remorse and left with resentment.

Ren Zhen frightened Cui Hao away with a few words, his complexion changed, and he pointed his chin at Chao Ru with a long face: "Sit down, take the medicine!"

Chao Ru put away her glib face, sat silently in front of Ren Zhen, and let him do whatever he wanted.Ren Zhen wiped it several times, and bared his teeth anxiously: "You are said to be smart, but I think you are so stupid! Since you already know the danger, why do you rush to protect Mrs. He?"

Chao Ru twitched his lips: "He Lanna broke a big deal. If he saw that I was safe and sound and didn't show any loyalty to protect the lord afterwards, how could he let me go easily? At this moment, I can't offend him again."

Ren Zhen was silent, and after a while, he lightly touched the burn on his face with the back of his hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "But does it hurt?"

Chao Ru laughed at himself: "How can this face feel pain? At most, there will be a few more scars, and it will be scary!" After saying this, there was no answer, but Ren Zhen's palms lightly tapped on his shoulders. Press: "Whether it is the form of a ghost or the form of a celestial being, what is the difference in my eyes today?"

Chao Ru's heart was a little astringent, all kinds of sorrow but not hurt, all kinds of resentment but not hatred, just disappeared inexplicably, he raised his hand and shook Ren Zhen's right hand, and whispered: "It's like the pain of cutting off your fingers and leaving your body .”

Ren Zhen was speechless.

The two stood one by one, silent for a long time in the clear wind and bright moonlight—it was the lovesickness to know when they would meet each other, and it was embarrassing at this night.

After the Murong clan was elected, he announced it to the Taimiao, that is, the mother's ceremonial world. Naturally, a celebration was necessary. Nanyan's "Prince of the Golden Sword" Murong Chao left Guanggu at this time and went to Pingcheng to pay his respects.In terms of seniority, Murong Bao's daughter is his cousin, but Murong Chao didn't dare to treat Tuoba Gui as his nephew and son-in-law-Murong De, the Lord of Southern Yan, has been seriously ill recently, and I'm afraid it won't last this year.Murong De has no biological son, and he prefers his brother Murong Chao to succeed him, but Murong Chao is the only one who came out of the court with the surname Murong. The important purpose is to find out Tuoba Gui's attitude and tone. If he has the support of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he will be sure to suppress all opposition forces, successfully take over and monopolize the government.

Tuobagui really needs the existence of Nanyan, and serves as a buffer zone between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Qingzhou - the governor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie Dudu, never refused to admit Tuoba Wei. Jiankang was humiliated by Xie Xuan in order to repair it, which made Tuobagui furious and executed Cui Yong, so far, his heart of good communication with the Eastern Jin Dynasty was extinguished.Both of them knew that there would be a war between the north and the south sooner or later, but the Beifu army headed by Liu Yu was still guarding Luoyang in Henan, and it was not easy for a while to move the whole body; They are both guarding against Xiyan Rouran in the northwest border, so both sides are waiting for the best time to wait for the best time to wait for the troops.Therefore, Tuobagui wanted to support an obedient Nanyan king who could be used by him, and the Beifu army would become the best barrier in case the Beifu army went north to attack Wei.

Murong Chao entered the palace to meet with Tuobagui, and the two had a long private conversation in the Qingjin Palace. If there was an attendant in the palace, please eat the imperial meal, and Tuobagui hosted a banquet to entertain Murong Chao. As if he had taken a reassurance, Murong Chao was naturally overjoyed and thanked him for his acceptance. .Unexpectedly, as soon as the wine and food were set up, a loud laugh came from outside the hall: "Why do you deliberately not call me when you have something to eat?"

Murong Chao was taken aback, thinking that Tuobagui is easy to get along with, who would dare to speak so recklessly in Wei Palace?But looking at the palace servants and servants nearby, none of them showed strange expressions, as if they were used to it.

When the man came striding into the hall, Murong Chao was so frightened that he almost crushed the wine bottle in his hand - Murong Chong!How could it be Murong Chong? !Although he looks much calmer now than when Dulongshan was at the beginning, and even the murderous look between his brows and eyes has almost disappeared, but he will not mistakenly recognize him—let alone Murong Chong, who is so unforgettable at first sight. man.Legend has it that after the defeat of Dulong Mountain, he was captured by the Wei army and held hostage. Turned into anger from embarrassment, he killed the deposed Emperor, who was no longer of use value, before he stopped his troops and returned to the court.But how could this man come back from the dead and appear in the Pingcheng Palace now? !
