Chapter 5: The Dark Curtain

Just as the golden grains of sand buried time, and the devouring ruins, everything fell into silence and dead silence. In the distant kingdom of Gen, the huge palace of the Gen king, carved in gold, and inlaid with countless rare stones, sat lazily on the throne. This big man who owns the entire land of Gen and controls the second Kun Sect in the world, his prestige is far and wide, and he is already a giant on the same level as Li Motian, the sect leader of the first Qianzong in the world. Even because Li Motian's deeds are difficult to find, he is even more low-key, and Ying Kun is high-profile and domineering, in the eyes of many people on the mainland, Ying Kun is the strongest person on the same continent.

Such a character is actually an old-fashioned face, with a pale face and white hair, like a teacher who only asks students to endorse but does not teach students the meaning in a private school. However, no one dares to underestimate this teacher-like face, it is more like a mask, covering Ying Kun's crazy heart, people who have really come into contact with Ying Kun are afraid of this face, because you can never see whether the mask is hidden under the joy or anger, maybe he is still listening to you talk to him with interest on the surface, but in private because you accidentally lost his words, he has already given birth to the idea of killing you.

Except for that old-fashioned and terrifying face, Ying Kun still behaved very much like an emperor, he had just finished the early dynasty, he was lying on the throne at the moment, lazily enjoying the ceremonial music and dance of the court, and his fingers full of gold and silver rings pinched the green grapes placed on a jade plate in front of the table from time to time, and sent them to his mouth, only at this time of the day, his frowning brows would relax a little.

Under the throne, a seat was set up for the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the two seats closest to Ying Kun sat a young man with a scholarly temperament, and a burly middle-aged man, the young man was delicate, his long hair was tied up, and there was only a pair of evil eyes, which made people dare not imagine him as an ordinary scholar anyway. Isn't this young man exactly Ying Kun's favorite prince, Ying Lutian? Ying Kun seems to be very satisfied with him as a prince, and while appreciating the ceremonial music, he also looks at him with admiration from time to time.

"Tian'er, how are you thinking about the next Shangtong dispute?"

Ying Ruotian is seventeen years old, and two years later, it happens that he is not yet the year of the weak crown, and there is still a chance to participate in the battle of Shangtong, this is the last chance, but whenever Ying Ruotian is asked about this, he just smiles mysteriously, noncommittal, which makes people a little unsure of the thoughts of the four princes, whether they want to participate or not.

This is also the most favored prince of Ying Kun, so he will have such patience with him, if it is someone else, Ying Kun does not have so much patience, but the person who is asked should weigh how to answer in order to save his life, but Ying Ruotian has such courage, even if he does not give a reply repeatedly, Ying Kun will still take the trouble to ask.

"King, the talents of the four princes are well known, if the four princes come forward, they will definitely be able to come out on top and add glory to my country!"

Someone at the back seat praised this, Ying Lutian smiled indifferently, and even Ying Kun's face was a little happy, and when the others saw this, they also rushed to pat Ying Lutian's ass, Ying Kun was very satisfied, and rewarded everyone. In the splendid palace of King Gen, there are staggered plans and singing and dancing.

"The four princes are indeed talented, but there is still no shortage of amazing and glamorous people on the mainland, looking at the previous Shangtong disputes, the country of my Gen has won only a handful, and in recent years, it has never won the championship. ”

Just when Ying Kun felt the sound of admiration endlessly, and his face was stretched with sorrow, suddenly there were discordant remarks, like the fall of a silver needle in the palace, and there was a sound on the ground, and the atmosphere suddenly froze, as if the sound of etiquette and music had weakened a little, and even Ying Kun's face showed a trace of displeasure, only Ying Kuntian still smiled lightly and looked at the person who spoke.

This person was another person who sat in the second seat, with a burly figure, several scars on his face, and countless calluses on his hands, obviously a general who had fought all year round. This person's name is Meng Zhi, who has fought for Ying Kun for many years, has done his best, and made great contributions, and his status is actually equivalent to Ying Ruotian, and it can be seen from the fact that he can be tied for the second place with Ying Ruotian, that is, this person made such an inappropriate remark at this time, and a group of civil and military officials, imperial relatives and relatives did not dare to refute it openly, and Ying Kun did not get angry when he heard this.

"Thank you for the general's teaching, it's just that Qingfeng just wants to read more poems and books, understand the way of sages, and don't have the heart to win in the field, but I also have a lot of rare talents in the Kun Sect, such as Li Yan in the sect, who has learned from me many times, and the cultivation techniques have amazed me, I believe that cultivating this person can also lead the Kun Sect to win the first place. ”

Ying Ruotian bowed respectfully to Meng Zhi, explaining that this was also the first time that he had publicly expressed his true thoughts that he did not want to participate in the Shangtong Controversy, and it was unknown whether the reason was true. He is good at reading, the word Qingfeng, and he has always called himself a name in the palace, as for deliberately mentioning Dao Lisen, it is because Dao Lisen has been good to him many times.

Ying Ruotian finally showed his attitude, which made Ying Kun frown, indeed Ying Ruotian has always shown himself as studious and humble, which made Ying Kun quite unhappy, this appearance always reminded him of his old enemy Li Motian. But although Ying Ruotian is dedicated to the pursuit of the way of sages, his cultivation talent is also as terrifying as Li Motian, and Ying Ruotian's strength has always been a mystery in the hearts of many people, some people say that he is superior in strength but never shows his strength, and some people say that he has no ability and will only play tricks;

"That's a shame. ”

Meng Zhi said expressionlessly, the battle for the heir has not yet begun, most of the people in the palace have fallen to Ying Ruotian, the throne is already in his pocket, everyone is flattering him, and wants to end up with a good result in the future. Although Meng Zhi has been fighting all year round, he doesn't ask about trivial matters in the palace, and he has never been in the quagmire, but he doesn't like the four princes in front of him, plus he himself has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is a rebellious person with a backbone, and he is not as inflammatory. Therefore, he is the only one in the palace who dares to argue with Ying Lutian head-on.

"Since Tian'er doesn't have this idea, General Meng doesn't have to be a pity, let Tian'er guide Li Yan and others a lot, and there will still be a chance to win the championship. ”

"Yes. ”

Ying Kun finally spoke, and the matter came to an end, and the splendid Gen Palace's palace became staggered again, and the singing and dancing leveled down

......

The beautifully carved door was pushed open, and after the banquet, Ying Lutian returned to his palace, although the palace was not as gorgeous as the palace of King Gen, but there were countless paintings and calligraphy on display, all of which were fine products created by famous artists in the mainland for many years. However, in the palace of Yingluotian, it can be seen everywhere, inserted in the painting jar, displayed on the bookshelf, dazzling, enviable. Collecting these is Ying Lutian's hobby, and he is willing to spend a lot of money to collect these sages and ink things.

Ying Ruotian took out a picture album from the bookshelf, opened it and saw that there were no natural landscapes, no birds, beasts, insects and fish, and there were countless people's heads listed. Win the day page by page, many of the portraits with red ink painted a big cross, it seems that because the author is not satisfied with the work and deny its existence, appreciation value is nothing, but the win is the day to see with relish, because in his eyes this is a work of art, is the work of art created by his win day, the most vivid part of a painting is not in the place where it can see, but in its invisible place, the winner is the person who can appreciate this beauty, even to the extent of almost distortion......

If someone in the palace saw this album at this time, they would be horrified to find that the portraits on it actually had many royal relatives, including the prince!

There was a smile in the corner of Ying Ruotian's eyes, such a clear smile, but it seemed to be extremely cold at the moment, and the eyes added a lot of strange and terrifying colors, he took out his pen and ink, opened a blank page, and painted on it, after a while, the painting was completed, and the person on the painting was the one who had a dispute with Ying Ruotian today - General Meng Zhi!

"Hehe, General Meng Zhi is really good, and he is really admired by the younger generations. ”

Ying Lutian whispered, and between talking and laughing, it was surprising and terrifying.

"Your Highness, the time for today's cultivation has arrived. ”

Dao Lisen's voice came from outside the house, it turned out that the words of Winning Heaven were true, in one day, Winning Heaven would indeed take the time to guide Dao Lisen's cultivation, but he was the only one, or in the entire Kun Sect, only Dao Lisen could make him look at it......

Ying Ruotian put the album on the table and pushed the door away, not worrying that anyone would see it. The door is flapping, the pages are turning, and if you look closely at the album at this time, you will find that the previous page of General Meng Zhi has a child drawn, and if you have sharp eyes, you can recognize that the person who painted it is

Liu Yunyuan!
