[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

After arriving in Pengshan, Zhaoyang and Liu Qi were arranged to live in the Dangui Palace by Xuanjun, the manager of Penglai, and waited for the auspicious day to perform the amnesty ceremony.

Unlike the last time he came to Pengshan, Zhaoyang came this time as King Liu, and the fairies naturally couldn't neglect him.After bathing, the fairies waited on them to change into Chinese clothes.

Zhaoyang had never been served like this before, and standing in the middle of the fairies with his hands half hanging, he felt extremely distorted.Not only does she have to be stared at, but she is also manipulated by others. This kind of service is simply torture for her.But if you don't adapt, you have to adapt. Who told you that she has already formed a bond with Liu Qi and became King Liu.To be a king should have the majesty of a king, Zhaoyang looked ahead with a sullen face, and silently began to count Doudou in his heart.

Finally, when Zhaoyang counted to 490 beans, the leading female fairy put on the last jade pendant for her.Zhaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his hand and asked, "Where's Liu Qi?"

"Liu Taifu is next door to you."

"Oh." Zhaoyang waved his hand, "You all go down first."

After all the fairies retreated, Zhaoyang sat at the desk and rapped on the table boredly looking at the scene outside the window.This is the only few days she can be free. After accepting the amnesty, waiting for her does not know what kind of bloody storm it is.She has to live in fear every day, fearing that one day someone will suddenly jump out and try to take her life.There is no one in Fenhua Palace who belongs to her, and the only Yingli she can trust is in Junzhou, and she will not be able to transfer Yingli back for a while.Zhaoyang sighed, these days are really sad, why did he happen to meet someone who dared to kill the king casually.

Just as he was thinking, someone opened the door and came in, Zhaoyang turned his head and saw that it was Liu Qi.He saluted her and said, "Xuan Jun said that the auspicious day is five days later."

"Well, I see." Zhaoyang nodded, and suddenly realized that there was one more thing he hadn't asked Liu Qi, so he continued, "By the way, Liu Qi, who told you that my name is Yuye?"

"It's the Marquis of Junzhou." Liu Qi replied with his head down.

Through the past few days of getting along, Zhaoyang felt that Liu Qi's temperament was too weak, and he would obediently answer whatever she asked, without saying a word, and his attitude was extremely respectful.Compared with Liu Tai, who is always the same as Shang Long, they are completely two extremes.I don't know if it's because of his original temperament, or because he is a slow-heating type who doesn't know her well.Zhaoyang was also embarrassed to ask him how he got along with Liu Wang in the past, afraid of touching his sad things, so he had to keep it like this for now.

Zhaoyang said "En", and asked casually "Liu Qi, do you have another name?" Zhaoyang also asked casually, always thinking that calling him Liu Qi was strange.She likes the way Shang Long and Liu Tai get along, casual and unrestrained, like friends and family members.Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, Liu Qi showed a very surprised expression, and there was a sense of fear in the surprise. That kind of subtle emotion made Zhaoyang feel that she seemed to ask something wrong. Questions to ask.

"Sorry." Zhaoyang turned his head sideways: "Pretend I didn't ask."

Liu Qi opened his mouth to say something, but gave up.Wang would give his unicorn a name to show his love for it. He did have a name, which was bestowed by his predecessor Liu Wang. This name has followed him for nearly 70 years.He really didn't expect the Lord to ask him this question so soon. He had feelings for the former King Liu, and he also had feelings for this name, so he wanted to keep this name for the time being.But he was afraid that he would make the Lord unhappy if he said so.

The atmosphere suddenly became dull, and in the silence, only the sound of Zhaoyang knocking on the table was left.

After a while, Zhaoyang was really bored, so he stood up: "Let's go for a walk."

"Yes."

There is nothing to visit in Dangui Palace, it is not much different from the palace on Lingyun Mountain, Zhaoyang has long been tired of seeing these flowers and plants.She is also not a refined person, and she really has no interest in these beautiful scenery.After walking aimlessly for a while, he leaned against the railing on the porch and stopped moving.It seems that the past few days have been counting Doudou.Zhaoyang looked at Liu Qi who was at the side. He had been following her silently since just now, without saying a word.Although she doesn't like noisy unicorns, Liu Qi is probably too quiet.

Zhaoyang couldn't bear it anymore, so he found a topic again: "Liu Qi, where did you live after you were born?"

"In Penglu Palace, my lord."

"Take me to have a look." Zhaoyang straightened up, since he was idle and bored anyway, it was better to go and have a look than to stand here now.

"Yes."

Penglu Palace is not far from Dangui Palace. Zhaoyang and Liu Qi soon arrived there. As soon as they entered, a female fairy greeted them: "Liu Taifu, you haven't been here for a long time."

"Rong Ke, this is King Liu." Liu Qi introduced

Hearing this, the fairy named Rong Ke knelt down towards Zhaoyang: "I'm sorry, King Liu."

Zhaoyang nodded, and when Rong Ke got up, he said why he came: "I asked Liu Qi to take me to see the place where he lived before."

"Liu Wang, this way please." Rong Ke stepped back to the side, led a certain distance in front and left.

The road in Penglu Palace is like a maze, if Liu Qi didn't lead her, Zhaoyang thought she might get lost once she entered.I heard from Liu Qi that it was designed to protect Qilin.Liu Qi was a bit weak-tempered, but he was very serious, and he really took Zhaoyang to all the places he had been to.Everywhere I went, I explained a sentence, and I walked to a river in this way.

Zhaoyang rolled his eyes and joked, "Don't tell me, let me guess, this is where you take a shower, isn't it?"

"En." Liu Qi turned his head slightly shyly.

"Hahaha." Zhaoyang laughed out loud, Liu Qi is quite cute, she originally planned to just stroll around, but unexpectedly he even introduced her to his bathing place.

After Zhaoyang walked along the river for a while, he saw a man in a turban squatting by the river to fetch water.In Zhaoyang, Pengshan, I have never seen anyone other than Xuanjun and the female fairy, so I couldn't help but take a second look, and I felt that this person was very familiar.

The man also noticed Zhaoyang and Liu Qi, and after fetching water, he got up and greeted them.Only Xianjun didn't have to kneel to Zhaoyang, and a name suddenly popped up in Zhaoyang's mind, and he blurted out: "Geng Ye."

Zhaoyang once asked Liutai curiously whether there really was a Dog Wolf True Lord in the Yellow Sea.Six Tai replied that Shang Long hadn't told you a story. In the story, there was a young man named Geng Ye, who was True Lord Dog Wolf.Mrs. Liu also complained that he went to Pengshan many times and never met him once.Zhaoyang did not expect to meet her today.

It was the first time we met, and he called Zhenjun's name directly. Zhaoyang realized that he was a little rude, so he hurriedly apologized and returned the salute: "Zhenjun Dog Wolf."

Geng Ye didn't care: "You must be Liu Wang."

"Exactly." Zhaoyang replied, feeling that meeting Gengye was really rare, so he stepped forward and suggested: "If Zhenjun doesn't mind, let's go for a walk together."

Geng Ye didn't refuse, and talked about many things along the way, including how to recognize him, how to know his name, and incidentally told him about Liu Tai's complaints.

"The Sixth Wife is still the same." Geng Ye smiled, "Zhaoyang, since you are a king, you don't have to be so respectful to me."

Perhaps because of the frequent visits to the Yellow Sea in the past, Zhaoyang has always had respect for Gengye, and he will not change it for a while: "I am used to it. For me before, you are the god who protects us."

"But in fact, I have actually met very few people who are known as the true king who protects the Yellow Sea Traveler." Let alone saved people.

"But after so many years, you are still here, right? That's enough, because for those people, you are hope." Only those who have hope dare to step into this dangerous Yellow Sea.Zhaoyang also comforted himself in this way at the beginning. With Zhenjun protecting us, we will be safe and sound.

After sending Geng Ye to the door, Zhao Yang followed Liu Qi back.Five days later, when it was time to accept the pardon ceremony, Zhaoyang and Liu Qi, who had changed into formal attire, were brought to Yunti Palace by the fairy early in the morning.In the depths of Yunti Palace, there is a vermilion door, behind the door is a green rock wall and a section of towering stone steps.The stone steps seem to be made of a crystal-like material, and the transparent steps shine brightly under the sunlight.And at the top of the ladder, there was a white bird that had always looked like a crow. (This paragraph is excerpted from the original text)

Xuanjun stood in front of the door and bowed to Zhaoyang and Liu Qi: "I wish Liu Wang and Liu Taifu a happy life forever."

Going in through this door, she has no chance of regretting it.Zhaoyang took a deep breath, settled down, and walked in.As she stepped up the steps, a solemn voice sounded.

"In the beginning, the Emperor of Heaven saw Kyushu. In the beginning, there were Kyushu and Sibari in heaven and earth. The people did not know order, but the emperor knew the reason and did not follow it. Scorning the principles of heaven and earth, neglecting the way of benevolence, ignoring discipline, the flames of war, the flames of war, and the blood flowed into rivers. The emperor of heaven wanted to understand the way. Righteousness, but people are addicted to pleasure and do not control themselves. The Emperor of Heaven lamented, determined to suffer. I, now barbarian Kyushu and Siyi, return to the state of Pangu. Respect order, create heaven and earth, and rationalize discipline.".

"The Emperor of Heaven expanded thirteen kingdoms, the middle one being the Yellow Sea, and the fields of Mount Peng. He entrusted the queen mother to make them peaceful. The remaining twelve kingdoms were assigned to the kings. Each of them bestowed branches, which became the foundation of the country. Send down one insect, and the heaven accepts it. Send it down. Three fruits. When one fruit falls, the king is born, when the first fruit falls, the land is obtained, and when the first fruit falls, the people are obtained. In this way, the heaven and the earth will be created."

"One day of the Taigang: Rule the world with benevolence and virtue. Do not abuse the people, do not start wars, and do not impose heavy taxes..." (The above is from the original text)

The sound didn't disappear until it reached the highest point.Really talking about things that should be taken for granted, Zhaoyang shook his head and continued to walk forward.Along the stone road, she came to a magnificent temple, which enshrined the statue of the Emperor of Heaven.After offering incense to the God of Heaven, the ceremony is officially over.

Zhaoyang walked into the temple and swore to the statue of the Emperor of Heaven to abide by God's will and implement benevolent government.After doing this, the island under her feet suddenly moved. She was a little surprised and ran outside, and saw the surging waves under the stone steps. They were above the sea of ​​clouds.

With the sea breeze blowing, Zhaoyang had the urge to shout at the sea of ​​clouds, but he held back after looking at Liu Qi who was standing aside.She is still serious.

The small island carried Zhaoyang and Liu Qi to swim from Pengshan towards the direction of Fenhua Palace, leaving colorful imprints on the sea of ​​clouds.

"Look! It's Xiangyun! The king has really been elected." The people on the ground cheered and rushed to tell each other.

At the same time, the white pheasant in the Fenhua Palace called twice: "Ascend the throne." At the same time, the eleven countries outside the Liu Kingdom also received the news from the Wutong Palace Feng: "The Liu Kingdom sang, Liu Wang ascended the throne. "

The author has something to say:

I always thought that auspicious cloud was the fart of the turtle under the island [Dead Fish Eyes]
