Narcissus Self-Saving System

The closure ceremony has been held for three days.

In the early years, Xia Guo was surrounded by enemies and fighting everywhere.

Since the Black Feather Army led by the Xue family wiped out the border west of Liaocheng three years ago, the Xia Kingdom has not experienced any large-scale wars.It can be said that the world is fixed, the sea is clear and the river is Yan.

But for some reason, the life of ordinary people is getting more and more difficult.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanhua Zhu Guanyu came to Fengshan to hold a grand ceremony in honor of the ancestors of the Zhu family and begged for the protection of the Xia Kingdom.

On the morning of the third day of closing the mountain hall, the sacrifice ended.

Zhu Guanyu moved into the palace at the foot of Fengshan Mountain.

It was also here that he summoned Xue Zhuang.

Xi Nan was worried, so he used the system's simultaneous live broadcast function to see everything that happened in the hall in his mind.

When Xue Zhuang walked into the hall, he did not bring anything with him.

In addition to him, there are several ministers in the hall. Xi Nan guessed that they should all be Zhu Guanyu's cronies.

This is also the first time Xi Nan has seen clearly what the emperor Zhu Guanyu of this world looks like.

Although Zhu Guanyu is also 17 years old like Xue Zhuang, he does not look as mature as Xue Zhuang perhaps because he has not experienced fighting in the battlefield.

He was tall, but very thin, his face was sickly pale, and he still looked like a young man between his brows.

At the beginning, Zhu Guanyu put on an air, talking about the fact that at this banquet, all the courtiers he absolutely trusted were invited, and he said a lot of scenes to praise everyone.

Later, one of his courtiers must have been instructed by him to speak first, mentioning the matter of General Xue Wu.

This person said that Old General Xue could have come to the banquet, and His Majesty was very grateful to him.It's a pity that Old General Xue was so ignorant of flattery that he openly insulted His Majesty in court.

When he saw this, Xi Nan thought to himself—this is really a thief shouting "stop thief", turning black and white, so shameless.

Xi Nan couldn't help but said: "Xue Zhuang, don't pay attention to this person. They just want to provoke you to get angry and lure you to say some disobedient words!"

System: "He can't hear it. Besides, according to his character...even if he knows it's a trick, how can he not defend his father?"

Sure enough, Xue Zhuang's face darkened a little, he got up and bowed to Zhu Guanyu, and said: "Your Majesty, my late father has served Xia Guo all his life, and the world can learn from his loyalty. He is used to being a general, and he is also used to being busy. Come down, if you are dissatisfied with His Majesty's arrangement and say a few complaints, Your Majesty will forgive me, but—"

Zhu Guanyu raised his hand, stopped Xue Zhuang's words, and said, "If it's just a few complaints, how could I not be able to tell? It's not to embarrass an old general because of this, it's just..."

Hearing this, Xue Zhuang frowned.Zhu Guanyu laughed lightly, and said: "It's just that the old general did say something rebellious. He said...he wants to rebel!"

Xue Zhuang immediately clenched his fist. "I don't believe a word of your majesty's words. This is really unfounded. Could it be... that your majesty really killed my late father?"

Zhu Guanyu didn't answer this question, but asked someone to serve Xue Zhuang a glass of wine. "This is sweet-scented osmanthus wine. Four years ago, when I was still the prince, I brewed it when I sent you on an expedition. Remember? We made an appointment at that time, and when you returned home, we would have a drink together. That year, you and I They're all 13 years old."

Before Xue Zhuang answered, Zhu Guanyu sighed to himself. "If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine with you, you won't be like a young man. In just four years, things have changed. Between you and my monarch and ministers, the coldness is so cold——"

Xi Nan was so angry.

——Listen to what the dog emperor said?

If there really was a friendship between him and Xue Zhuang that grew up together when they were teenagers, it would be the dog emperor who betrayed this friendship.

But he actually bit back and snatched away the lines that Xue Zhuang should have said. He was so bullying that he completely gave up trying to save face.

The dog emperor continued: "The so-called tranquility of the four borders is just an appearance. Now the people of our Xia country are living a very difficult life. The diplomatic relations are changing ways every day to threaten me to lower tariffs, and the countries that are not diplomatic relations are even more waiting for the opportunity to move at any time. It is possible to attack. Xia has hidden worries at home and hidden dangers outside, and I really dare not take it lightly. If I want to completely let go of my guard against the Xue family, you will drink this glass of wine to show your loyalty."

"Damn it, is this grandiose drunk with poisoned wine?" Xi Nan was furious.

"Hey, isn't that what it is? Companion to a king is like a tiger." The system echoed.

Xi Nan patted the table: "Feudal dross!"

Seeing that Xue Zhuang took the poisoned wine, Xi Nan was worried, and saw Xue Zhuang directly pouring the poisoned wine on the father-in-law who handed him the wine.

The father-in-law hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and the poisoned wine spilled on his clothes, and a hole was burnt in his clothes in an instant.

Xue Zhuang sneered, then threw the wine glass heavily to the ground, raised his hand and pointed at Zhu Guanyu, and began to curse.

The emperor was so angry that his lips turned blue, his face turned pale, his eyes were red, a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth immediately, and he said to the imperial guards inside and outside the hall: "Take him down!"

Xue Zhuang picked up the table in front of him and smashed it, smashing out a table leg, then picked up the table leg, knocked down several imperial guards one after another with the table leg, looked at the emperor Zhu Guanyu mockingly, and said with some anger: "These imperial guards are full of martial arts skills. They have never experienced a real battle on the battlefield. They are all scumbags in the midst of the failure of gold and jade! You should take a look at the people around you!"

Zhu Guanyu was so frightened that he hid back and raised his sword tremblingly. "Wow, Xue Zhuang, you really want to rebel!"

Xue Zhuang said: "Zhu Guanyu, on Mount Feng, you have just paid homage to the ancestors of Zhu's family, and prayed to them to bless the mountains and rivers of the Xia Kingdom. At the foot of Mount Feng, you listened to slander, framed loyal officials, and cared nothing about the safety of the world. What you did, your family The ancestors must have seen it all. Come on, do you dare to bet with me on whether I can survive? If I can survive today, it will be your ancestors who bless you, because they can't bear to see their loyal ministers die in vain. Xia Guojiang and Shan will be ruined in your hands!"

Xi Nan applauded Xue Zhuang's words, and then looked at Zhu Guanyu. Hearing these words, his already pale face became paler with fright.

In an instant, Xue Zhuang used the table leg as a sword, and knocked down a large number of forbidden troops one after another.

Although Xue Zhuang's face was smeared and he was stabbed a few times, he had fled to the gate of the hall.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a spherical object from his sleeve and threw it on the ground. The spherical object exploded on the ground, and the smoke immediately spread, surrounding the hall in an instant, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

"Don't chase people! Escort! Escort!"

Zhu Guanyu called out in horror.He was afraid that this trick was Xue Zhuang's trick to kill him.

Hearing what he said, the imperial guards had no choice but to risk the safety of the emperor, and walked towards Zhu Guanyu's direction one after another, and then stood guard in front of them.

In this way, when the smoke dissipated, Xue Zhuang had already run away completely.

Xi Nan wanted to continue watching, at least to make sure that Xue Zhuang had really escaped safely, but there was a knock on the door.

Xi Nan had no choice but to open his eyes and go to open the door.

Outside the door stood Xue Lai, Xue Qiuyun, and the maid Chang Ying.

I saw Xue Lai frowning deeply, Xue Qiuyun's eyes were red, and Chang Ying held a dagger to her neck, and said to Xi Nan, "Before the little general left, I received his secret order. Once I see the direction of the palace, I will let you go." Signal, I will take you away immediately. Miss Xue is unwilling to leave, how about you, my lord?"

But there was no answer from Xi Nan, Chang Ying pushed the dagger an inch to the neck, and said with a firm expression: "I have the order of the little general, and I must fulfill his entrustment. If you all refuse to leave, I will kill myself immediately, and then I will go back to you." Apologize to death!"

Xi Nan didn't answer, Xue Qiuyun was still unwilling in every possible way, and finally her father Xue Lai persuaded her. "Since Xue Zhuang has made arrangements, I think he has his own plans. Since he sent the signal, he must have fallen out with His Majesty. This place is not far from the palace. If we don't leave, if His Majesty's people come and arrest us, Instead, we became Xue Zhuang's burden."

Xue Lai's words at least convinced Xue Qiuyun.

But it was too late.

A loud shout came from a distance outside the inn: "The remnants of the Xue family, you have been surrounded by the imperial army! You will be arrested without your hands tied!"

Xue Qiuyun's face turned pale all of a sudden. "It's His Majesty... His Majesty's people!"

Xi Nan frowned, and immediately fixed the wig, then untied and messed up his hair to cover his face, and rubbed some mud on the ground to paint his face.This is to prevent his face, which is exactly the same as Xue Zhuang's, from being easily recognized.

Then he looked at Xue Qiuyun. "Don't be afraid. I have a way."

Xue Qiuyun frowned. "So far, what else can we do?"

Xi Nan thought for a while and said, "With my face. Trust me."

After a while, the entire inn was surrounded by the imperial army.

This time, there were ten guards following Xue Zhuang.

Five guards went to meet Xue Zhuang not far from the palace.

The remaining five stayed at the inn like Xi Nan and the others.Their task is the same as Chang Ying's, that is, once they see Xue Zhuang's signal, which means that his talks with His Majesty have broken down, they should immediately take Xue Qiuyun and the others to escape.

After the inn was surrounded, the five guards, together with Xue Lai, Xue Qiuyun, Chang Ying and Xi Nan, were taken back to the palace by the forbidden army.

There is a deserted palace in the Fengshan Palace, which is temporarily used as a place to detain the "remnants of the Xue family".

The main hall is simply and roughly separated by wooden boards.This is done for the convenience of the women.It seems that Zhu Guanyu still has some conscience.

Therefore, Xi Nan was with Xue Lai and the male guards.Xue Qiuyun and Chang Ying are in the next room.

Even so, Xi Nan couldn't discuss anything with Xue Lai.After all, there are imperial guards in the main hall, and they are forbidden to talk.

Inside the main hall, there were no lamps, and the windows were all sealed. Only a little light came in through the crack of the door, and the whole room was very dark.

Xi Nan sat quietly in the corner of the room, looking dumbfounded.

Xue Lai glanced at him, and couldn't help but sighed, thinking that although Xi Nan said that he was sure to rescue everyone, but seeing him like this, he really didn't look like a smart person.

But in fact, Xi Nan was only concentrating on talking to the system, so his eyes were not focused.

System: "The host is big, frowning so tightly, what are you thinking?"

Xi Nan: "The emperor saw that Xue Zhuang had escaped, so he arrested us in order to threaten him or lure him into a trap. However, it would be better to charge us with some crime, should we be dealt with in the palace, or should we be punished?" Bringing us back to the imperial capital...the emperor still needs to think carefully about these matters, so he will not deal with us immediately."

System: "Yeah. So, if you don't do anything, everything will be as calculated by the system. All of you will die. Not only you, but the emperor will also arrest and kill all the seven aunts and eight aunts who lived far away in Xuezhuang." Drop. At that time, Xue Zhuang will be blackened."

Xi Nan nodded: "Xue Zhuang may receive this news soon. Maybe he will come directly to the palace to rob the prison. Although according to your calculation, even if he robs the prison, he will not die, but things will be more troublesome. I must take the initiative to find the emperor as soon as possible. .I want him to think that I am Xue Zhuang."

System: "We're about to face the emperor. You're tough too, Xiao Nannan."

Xi Nan sighed: "Who doesn't want to live, to survive. By the way, in order to deal with the emperor, I still need your help. Do you have a replay function? Play the Hongmen Banquet a few more times for me, I want to study it. "
