Cloud City Palace - Cloud Sky City.

The monarch sat on the king's chair alone, and the hundred officials below stood in four horizontal and four vertical, before the hundred officials, General Qiu was wearing iron armor on the left side, and the prime minister Sha Wuxian was wearing a robe.

This place is not as vast as the Qi Kingdom, not richer than Jincheng, and not more cautious than the soldiers, so one king, one ruler and one general is the standard configuration of Cloud City.

Both of them are powerful people, but they are both old.

Sha Wuxian arched his hand to the monarch and said, "The minister has something to do!"

There was also the monarch who was also old, and I saw him say lightly: "Speak!"

Sha Wuxian said: "Last night, the city guards came to report that several disciples of the Rain Arch sneaked into my Cloud City, they disturbed David and then destroyed the Golden City, since Cloud City has discovered their traces, they should all be arrested and executed!"

General Qiu glanced at Sha Wuxian coldly, and said secretly in his heart: "Old thing, it seems that this is going to be with me." ”

Sovereign: "Oh, General Qiu, is there such a thing?"

General Qiu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Back to Your Majesty, seven dead people have indeed been found, and their identities are still being investigated." ”

Sha Wuxian immediately spoke: "The people from the Rain Arch actually infiltrated Cloud City, General Qiu, what explanation do you have?"

"Lord Xiangguo, this rain arch absconded to our cloud city is Jincheng before the incident, and they have been trading with us on weekdays, but at that time, there was no Jincheng incident, and now that such a big thing has happened, I, as a general, will definitely not be able to spare them, and I am currently verifying the identity of the contact, it should not take long to search out, and then it will be all in one net." ”

The monarch nodded and said, "Well, that's right, this matter must be handled as soon as possible, and we in Cloud City can't tolerate this gang of outlaws." ”

General Qiu saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The monarch continued: "Sha Xiangguo, General Qiu, what have you decided about what the widow talked about with you?"

Sha Wuxian hurriedly replied: "Don't do it, your majesty, a one-time assessment is unheard of, for example, the prince is good at poetry, the second prince is good at force, and the third prince is good at management and co-ordination, no matter how you compete, it is difficult to treat it fairly, so please think twice!"

General Qiu was silent, but he and Sha Wuxian basically agreed on this matter.

The monarch said angrily: "This is not good, that is not good, I said that everyone is against the election, how can we choose the most suitable candidate?

When the hundred officials heard this, they were terrified, including General Qiu and Sha Wuxian also knelt on the ground, and the monarch sighed when he was speechless for a while.

"The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and the widow is just angry for a while, since this is the case, then let's discuss it later, let me think about it again, General Qiu will give you ten days, and the matter of the rain arch will give me a result. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will not dishonor my life!" General Qiu glanced at Sha Wuxian and bowed down to receive the order.

Sha Wuxian sneered, thinking in his heart: "Hmph, I want to expand my power, I'll see what you can do now!"

"Stand down, the widow is tired!"

After the hundred officials retreated, the monarch rubbed his temples, and his head was still very painful and he couldn't decide which prince would succeed him better.

The prince is benevolent and righteous, but the hundred officials are not satisfied, the second son's military merits are outstanding, but the temper is a little weird, the third prince is a civil official, but he is not in harmony with the second son, if any of the three of them are inherited, the person will come up and slaughter the other sons, this kind of power struggle has always been like this, he knows it in his heart.

He also knows that all sons are qualified when the prince's status is not good, but he is the same as other kings, there are too many beauties in the backyard without restraint, and it can be said that there are a lot of sons.

If it's a piece of cake, he can't wait to share a piece of it, but it's a pity that it's royal power, a city like Cloud City and Snow City is a country, and the big city is a little scary, and a bad one is that it's easy for sons to kill each other, after all, they are all in the city.

Left and right are difficult, the fair competition is said to be unfair, then he lost his original intention, he is old, he only hopes that his children can be safe, choose a benevolent child to be, but it's a pity, these sons are benevolent and righteous in front of him, and the specific behind it is unknown.

"Hey, let's see, I'll have some time to live!" he rubbed his head again.

Outside the temple.

Outside the hall, General Qiu and the prime minister stood with their hands in their hands, both of them had fake smiles on their expressions, but their eyes were cold and cold.

"Haha, General, you have to wipe out the remnants of the Rain Arch, otherwise who knows what else they will do?"

"Xiangguo-sama don't worry too much, I guess it may not be the remnants who really want to jump out, it may also be some mice, I like to kill rats the most. ”

"Haha, the general's metaphor is good, those underground rats stink, don't dirty the general's shoes!"

"Haha, Xiangguo said with a smile, I'm not afraid of dirty shoes, I'm afraid that I won't be able to kill them if I step on them. ”

"Then we'll wait and see, General Qiu, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. After finishing speaking, Sha Wuxian flicked his sleeves and walked outside.

General Qiu looked at his back coldly, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that you have to deal with me recently, old thing, I see what tricks you have, even if you use any tricks, I have a helper." ”

......

That night, Wang Chuxuan still decided to secretly go out to check the clues near the inner city, and discussed some things with Xiuru during the day, and everything had to be carried out little by little.

Understanding the scene of the incident is the first thing he wants to know, this is no more than other places, there are still a lot of guards patrolling in the middle of the night, but they don't care about pedestrians, after all, perennial safety still makes people relax their vigilance.

Wang Chuxuan didn't change into other clothes, he was still wearing women's clothes, not to hide anything, but to change back and forth made him a little troublesome.

A woman was walking at night, and he just wanted to come out to see the situation, but he didn't expect to be completely shocked when he came out and looked up at the sky.

Because it is located at a very high place, the moon in the night sky looks very large, as big as a huge disc hanging in the sky in the distance, and you can see the potholes and moonlight on it. It looks extremely beautiful, the stars next to it are also outrageously bright, people seem to be in the starry sky, there are no impurities in the sky, and the Milky Way is like reaching out to touch.

Wang Chuxuan looked left and right at the pedestrians on the street, only to see a lot of couples walking outside, it seems that the beauty of this cloud city, even the locals can never finish appreciating, because the city is white and does not need any lighting, it is like a moonlit city.

"No wonder Xiuru likes it here, whoever sees such a beautiful scenery at night must also think that this place is extremely holy, this place is infinitely close to the sky. ”
