After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

Ruan Jiu succeeded to the position of great witch, and was the first person to become great witch as a queen, and even the first to be a great witch as a Liang person.

It was unprecedented for him to make such an exception.

Fortunately, the great witch is a priesthood, and the people of Jiwu also listened to and admired the position of the great witch. All generations of great witches have enjoyed the supreme power, second only to the great king.

Since they were selected by the great witch, they must have been approved by the god Asulu. They don't know anything about divination, so naturally they don't have much to say.

Besides, apart from Ruan Jiu, the great witch has no other heirs. If Ruan Jiu is not allowed to be the great witch, there will be no more great witches.

Therefore, Ruan Jiu's succession to the great witch this time has fewer objections than his coming to marry him.

Ruan Jiu personally presided over the funeral of the great witch, the funeral of the highest standard, and the whole city was covered with white.Chiwu people love songs, and wherever there is singing, there will be sighs and choking.

The Great Witch's Mansion was turned into a pile of ruins by the fire, and Ruan Jiu rebuilt a white tent on the ruins as a mourning hall.

Dawu likes tents. He once told Ruan Jiu that a tent is like a white cloud on the grassland, and it is the root of the Jiwu people.

And on the day when the fire burned out, Ruan Jiu's divination in public for the first time also reverberated in the hearts of the common people from time to time.

"Punish the traitors and clarify the universe."

Who is this traitor?Who is disrupting the court?

There is also the custom of guarding the spirit, but the person who guards the spirit cannot be the closest person of the deceased, otherwise the soul of the deceased will be reluctant to leave and cannot be reincarnated.

It was getting late, no matter how reluctant Ruan Jiu was, he couldn't stay in the tent for too long, so he ordered the guards to take good care of him and left with Ulan.

He just walked out of the tent when he saw Liu Xuan standing outside waiting for him.

Again.

Ruan Jiu frowned, and turned around to avoid him.

But he didn't want Liu Xuan to catch up directly.

"Little boy."

Ruan Jiu turned his head and frowned: "What's the matter?"

"The queen mother didn't know about you and the big witch..."

"What if you know, what if you don't know?"

The Empress Dowager didn't send anyone to look for him these days. He thought that the Empress Dowager broke with him completely after hearing about his choice, but he didn't expect Liu Xuan to come over.

He turned to leave, but Liu Xuan grabbed his sleeve again: "Hey, young master."

"What's the matter?" Ruan Jiu looked back at him, "If it's about the great witch, then there's no need to talk about it."

Liu Xuan looked at the corners of his eyes that were reddish because of being too uncomfortable, approached him slightly, and lowered his voice: "Young master, do you never want to go back to Daliang?"

"none of your business?"

Ruan Jiu wanted to shake off his hand, but his arm was tightly held by him.

"If the young master chooses He Lianzhu, he will be trapped in Jiwu for the rest of his life." Liu Xuan got closer, "Young master, do you still have a chance to leave after Helian Zhu takes power?"

Ruan Jiuxing's eyes widened, and he made a fierce look, pushing his hand away: "It has nothing to do with you!"

When He Lianzhu returned to Shangjing City, it was already five days later.

At that time, the white cloth worn by the great witch in the city had been taken off, and everything had returned to its former appearance.

The people in the city didn't know what he was going to do. When he came back with a group of people, he led a wolf and a dog in his hands. The people who followed each had some prey hanging around their horses' necks and backs. , It's like returning from spring hunting.

The entourage distributed the prey to the people along the way, and the people along the way praised the king's kindness in unison.

He Lianzhu just glanced back, then rode back to the palace.

He went back to the palace, only to find that Ruan Jiu was not in the palace, it should be in the mansion of Dawu or Zhuangxian.

So He Lianzhu got on the horse again, led the wolf and the dog, and went to the residence of these two men.

The news of the king's return reached the Queen Mother's Wan'an Palace before the king entered the city.

The queen mother was so shocked that she almost dropped the teacup.

Surprise is followed by deep horror.

Helianzhu came back alive, which means that the regent she sent to strangle Helianzhu failed.

To lose means to die.

No, no, the queen mother forced herself to calm down.Not necessarily, maybe He Lianzhu came back from hiding all the way, maybe the regent didn't meet him at all.

If so, there is still room for maneuver.

But after all, she was still too reckless. Last time in the court, she was annoyed for a while, so she directly gave the order to be strangled.

She originally thought that with the regent's experience on the battlefield, strangling He Lianzhu would be a piece of cake, but she didn't expect...

She squeezed the corner of the table tightly, almost breaking it off, and told Eunuch Zhou: "Find someone to contact the regent and see if he is okay."

Eunuch Zhou nodded "yes" and went down.

Liu Xuan persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the regent king is brave and good at fighting, so he won't be defeated."

Although he said this, he felt a little regretful in his heart.

I regret that I voted for the Queen Mother.

If the Queen Mother hadn't conceived that child, her chances of winning, in Liu Xuan's opinion, could be regarded as [-]%.

But she was pregnant with a child, and for the sake of this child, she had to give in, but after she gave in, she felt unwilling and felt that she could not give in.

After advancing aggressively, the odds of winning that belonged to her were completely lost by her.

Moreover, He Lianzhu is much deeper than he imagined, and he has grown extremely fast.

But now he has no way out.

Liu Xuan also settled his mind, thinking about the cards still in the Queen Mother's hand.

He Lianzhu finally found Ruan Jiu on the Great Witch's Mansion, or rather found Ruan Jiu in a tent on the Great Witch's Mansion.

He Lianzhu stood still in front of the tablet of the great witch, bent down and saluted.

Ruan Jiu knelt aside, wiping his eyes from time to time.

In the past few days, except in front of people, he was always crying in private.

He is talented, and he doesn't want to be like Helian Zhu, who suffered a lot when he was young.He has a harmonious family and is surrounded by friends. The biggest life-and-death parting he has ever experienced was when he was 15 years old. His elder brother almost died in battle, but in the end he was not in danger.

This is the first time he has watched the people around him die.

Or for this reason.

He hasn't regained his senses for a long time. Every morning when he wakes up, he will be in a trance for a while, and even ask Ulan to help him prepare the horse, because today he is going to the Great Witch's Mansion to learn divination.

When he came back to his senses, he remembered that the great witch was no longer there.

He hugged the quilt and cried for a while by himself.

Originally, He Lianzhu wanted to see his joy, but seeing him crying so hard, it all turned into distress.

He held Ruan Jiu's shoulders and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I'm late."

Ruan Jiu's throat was choked up, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence, tears streaming down his face without stopping for a moment: "He Lianzhu, the great witch... blame me..."

He Lianzhu took him into his arms: "I don't blame you, you have done a good job, blame me."

Ruan Jiu hugged him, crying out of breath: "It's all...it's all my fault, I knew that the big witch was discovered, just one night...I should have noticed, but I didn't...I didn't... ...If I had been there that night, nothing would have happened to Dawu, definitely not..."

His tears wet Helian Zhu's chest.

Before He Lianzhu came back, he also cried for the great witch, but when he cried, there was no sound, and he wept silently.

Because he is still the new great witch and the queen, if he cries so disorganized, he is afraid that no one will be afraid of him, and he is afraid that the people around him will be like the great witch, and then something will happen because of his negligence.

He absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing happening again, so he worked very hard to maintain a fierce appearance.

Now that He Lianzhu is back, someone finally helped him share the burden, and he finally couldn't hold on anymore.

He blamed himself so much.

He Lianzhu hugged him, patted his back, and helped him relax.

This was the first time Ruan Jiu cried so hard, his face was red because he couldn't breathe.

"Let's go." Helianzhu was already much taller than him, held his shoulders, and lifted him up from the ground, "I avenged the great witch, Heliansur was captured by me. Go, I will take you there look."

"I met him on the road. He led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to surround and kill me. General Pale, I, and the rice and steamed buns you sent were surrounded on the mountain..."

Hearing what he said, Ruan Jiu couldn't help becoming nervous: "Then how did you get out?"

Helianzhu coaxed him softly: "Thanks to the fake swaddle you gave Getulu, it was made too real, and it was made of cloth from the queen mother's palace. Heliansur didn't have it at all. Suspicious. He was afraid that Getulu would hurt the child, so I walked out of the siege like that."

Ruan Jiu was very surprised: "Huh?"

"Well, it's that simple. But Helian Sur was worried about his child and followed us all the time, so I asked old General Pale to lead people into Ghost Valley."

"Do you still remember Ghost Valley? It was the valley where old General Pale was ambushed two years ago when he chased He Liancheng's remaining party. At that time, old General Pale and I didn't know the terrain of Ghost Valley at all. I gave him the soldier talisman and asked him to save the old general."

"It's this place again. This time, Old General Pale and I are very familiar with that place, even more familiar than Helen Sur. We led him in."

"This time, he was the one who was ambushed. I captured him alive, and I brought him back. Don't be sad, I will use him as a sacrifice to the great witch, and let him kowtow in front of the great witch spirit to make amends."

He Lianzhu originally wanted to lock this person up for a few days, wait for the queen mother to be cleaned up, and then wait for the child to be found, and then lock up the three of them together.

But now Ruan Jiu is unhappy, so let's bet now.

Soon, Wan'an Palace also received the news.

"Your Majesty, my lord... my lord was hung on a beam by the king's men and carried into the city!"

The queen mother suddenly stood up from the chair, and this time the teacup on the table was really knocked down by her and smashed to pieces.

"How dare he? How dare he? That's his own uncle..." The Empress Dowager never expected that the regent would lose so badly, let alone that He Lianzhu would be so ruthless.

Seniority is distinct, seniors and young are orderly, these are the rules fixed by the god Asulu.

In Jiwu, killing elders is considered a serious crime.He will be reviled by thousands of people and sent to hell.

Even if they are of the same generation, as long as they are older, they will be crushed to death by the first generation.

So two years ago when He Liancheng was killed in front of the city gate, the regent shot an arrow first, and then Heliancheng dared to shoot an arrow.

How dare he now...

"Swing, swing..."

The queen mother didn't even have time to put on her outer clothes, so she stumbled and ran out of the palace gate.

When she stood on the top of the palace wall, she happened to see the scene where Helian Sur was being sent in by a prison cart, with his hands hanging from a crossbar.

And He Lianzhu also took Ruan Jiu to stand on the tower, looking intently at the rebels who were sent in, without even giving the Queen Mother a look.

The queen mother was so angry that she could hardly speak: "You... how dare you humiliate him like this?"

"Mother, he was the one who wanted to kill me first. I just fought back. Fortunately, the counterattack succeeded." He Lianzhu folded his hands and still didn't look at her. "Mother didn't ask me if I was injured, why did she ask me like this instead?"

"You...he is your elder, the rules of the Helian family...you can't...the rules set by the god Asulu..."

"I use the sword technique that the Helian family taught rebellious sons and ministers, and I am not bound by seniority. Besides, now that I am the king and he is the minister, and I deal with the rebels, what does mother have to say?"

He Lianzhu moved the heavy knife that had not been removed from his back.

This is the sword technique he learned from the old general Pale when he went north. He didn't want to give people a reason to talk, and he didn't want to implicate Ruan Jiu in hell because of this kind of rule.

It's a hassle, but it's still useful.

He has all the commanding heights of force and reason.

He Lianzhu lowered his head and squeezed Ruan Jiu's hand.
