Chapter IX: State Funeral
Tianyin's fist of hundreds of catties smashed on the clerk's head, directly smashing out a bloody hole.
Suddenly, the blood stained the spot, causing everyone to be stunned.
Bang Bang Bang !!!
The girl agitated Ruyu's palm, and she didn't have the slightest sense of panic about the scene of blood splashing, not even a trace of pity and sympathy.
She bent her eyebrows coldly, and her teeth moved slightly under the red tulle: "Come on, take two hundred gold coins and hand them to the son." ”
After a while, the little guy took two hundred gold coins and put them in a bag and sent them to Tianyin.
Tianyin took the bag, without any suspicion that Xingyue Pavilion would deduct the gold coin, and turned around to leave, without the slightest intention of staying.
For the girl in red, he only knew that it was dangerous, and even he didn't know what the girl's intention was to test him.
Therefore, the goal has been achieved, it is better to leave early, so as not to get entangled with her.
"Childe, don't you even ask the little girl's name. ”
The girl changed her previous proud frost, rejecting people thousands of miles away, her tone was tactful and delicate, her eyebrows were like water, and her red lips were slightly pursed like a smile, like a hibiscus out of the water, which made people numb, and she couldn't bear to refuse at all.
"What do you have to do with me? It is impossible for us to meet in the future, so it is better not to ask. ”
Hearing the ambiguous voice of the woman's soul, Tianyin felt as if there were ten thousand ants crawling in his heart.
"Nujia Du Xianyin, we will meet again in the future!"
As soon as her voice came out, a burst of blood in everyone's bodies suddenly surged into their hearts, and even their bones became numb.........
Her voice is as delicate as a young girl, and at the same time has the roundness and laziness of a mature woman, and there is a charm that almost penetrates into the bone marrow.
In just a few words, the hearts of those who listen to them sway, and their souls seem to leave their bodies and follow the voices.
The girl is one after the other, and it is difficult for people to guess.
Tianyin strode out and walked away.
He, the bet was right, the girl didn't dare to kill him, just now Tianyin relied on the strength of the fifth layer of the human Xuan Realm to kill the clerk in a few breaths, completely shocking the girl
Looking at the back of the fading away, the girl and Ling Lao went upstairs to the private room, leaving behind the wooden people in the hall.
As for the clerk's body, the girl was even more lazy to deal with it, so the next person directly threw the corpse into the mass grave.
"Miss, the old slave doesn't understand why you should be so indulgent and forgiving to that person. ”
Ling Lao finally couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out.
Just now in the hall, he wanted to scold Tianyin many times, but he stopped them one by one under the hint of the girl.
"Elder Ling, you really haven't seen anything after living for so many years?"
Du Xianyinyu's hand plucked the sandalwood guqin in front of the coffee table, and said with a crisp voice.
"That kid is mediocre in talent, and he doesn't have the slightest characteristic other than a mysterious master he said. The old slave really couldn't understand what the young lady was doing. ”
Ling Lao bowed respectfully, clenched his fists and asked Du Xianyin. Whether it is in terms of appearance, qualifications, or his martial arts, Tianyin is average in qualifications, which makes him even more convinced that Tianyin's so-called "master" is fabricated out of thin air.
"What kind of person with average qualifications have you ever seen take the life of an enemy who is one level lower than himself in just a few breaths? If you were him, would you be able to do it?"
Du Xianyin picked up the ambergris tea on the table, put it on the red lips and took a sip gently, and questioned unsatisfied.
"This ........."
The aftermath of questioning slammed people's souls, making the impassioned Ling Lao speechless for a while, unable to say anything for a while.
Indeed, if he is allowed to confront someone at a lower level, although it is a sure victory, it will definitely take a long time in terms of time.
After all, as long as every cultivator is not a fool, they have their own "killer features". They will use their life-saving skills in the moment of life and death to win the last chance of life.
There is no doubt about this, Ling Lao knows it in his heart, because he himself also has a "lore method" when he is on the line of life and death.
But Tianyin didn't give the clerk any chance at all, and with one move, he killed it directly.
Is he really a mediocre talent?
Thinking about it carefully, Tianyin's unruly and confident eyes, a shallow smile that people can't easily detect, thoughtful, eloquence based on reason, and a "master" who doesn't know whether it's true or not.
There were so many strange things that made Ling Lao's soul tremble in the depths, and he didn't dare to think about it at all.
If it's his master, it's... It's true.
So he... It was really terrifying, and when he thought of this, Ling Lao couldn't help but shudder.
"Check this person up. ”
The girl's cold voice sounded again.
"Ahem, cough, cough ........."
The girl took out the white handkerchief she was carrying in a panic, and Qianqian's thin hand quickly covered her fragrant and seductive red lips.
Under the wiping, a bright red plum blossom is reflected on the white patterned handkerchief.
"Miss, your condition ......"
"It's okay, just cultivate for a while. ”
The girl waved her hand to interrupt Ling Lao's words, but her body was as painful as a ghost in purgatory, and it was unbearable.
Ling Lao didn't say anything more and silently withdrew from the private room.
"Fire poison, how can you cultivate...! Huh!," the girl said self-deprecatingly.
....................................
The imperial capital of the Wuyue Empire, in the palace of the Moon City.
Today, it can be said that it is the most miserable day in the Wuyue Empire in recent years, and there are only a few people on the streets of Nuoda Yuexing City.
At a glance, in the entire Moon City, white cloth was everywhere, inns and hotels of all sizes were closed, and auction houses were closed early. Except for a few people who came out to buy daily food, there was no one who caused trouble.
On the clean and white streets, from time to time there appeared a column of solemn and majestic soldiers, dressed in gold armor and holding spears.
Each of them had a strip of white cloth tied to his left arm, and his right hand was holding a fine spear several feet long, the head of which pointed straight to the sky, and a strip of white cloth fluttering in the wind was also tied to the spear.
The emperor's pro-army Imperial Forest Army has made such a formation, and the recent major events have been circled, and only the 100,000 Wuyue Army that was wiped out in Hanliuguan has this honor.
It has been a few days since the news came from Hanliu Pass, and the entire Moon City has been in a bleak state for a few days, and it is said that it will last for seven days, waiting for the souls of the soldiers to return to heaven before returning to the past prosperity.
In the final analysis, it is to pay tribute to Tianyin, the only grandson of Huiyue King Tianpeiguo, who died tragically.
The old general Rong Ma has been in his life, and all his sons have fallen to the battlefield for the Wuyue Empire, and even his only grandson has been lost.
The people mourned, the emperor was saddened, and the country declined.
The palace, in the bright inner hall, is resplendent and magnificent, although it is daytime, but the hall is still burning with an inextinguishable everlasting lamp, which burns a red blood stone, and the curling black smoke floats in the air, coiling in the hall.
Red blood stone, used to sacrifice to the heavens and gods to the dead, will emit a pungent fragrance when burned.
The dead have experienced too many ups and downs in the world, so the world comforts the deceased with the fragrance of red bloodstone, hoping that they will live a decent life in the underworld.
It is obviously inappropriate for such a netherworld filth thing as red blood stone to burn in the sacred palace, and it is even more contrary to the ancestral teachings, but everything is arranged by the "one" on the golden dragon chair, and there is less noisy gossip.
In the inner hall, an old man in a dragon-patterned yellow robe stood with his hands in his hands, his back to the minister who was prostrate on the ground to ask for peace.
His face was resolute, and his eyebrows revealed a majestic aura, obviously the aura of a hegemon who had been in a high position for a long time. In front of him, there was a faint breath rising, red like thunder, and a low roaring sound.
Under the main hall, the ministers wore official uniforms and bowed.
Obviously, the old man's identity is undoubtedly noble, and he is the current emperor of the Wuyue Empire, Emperor Wulie, Wu Qiong.
"Stand down! ”
After a long time, Wu Qiong broke the heavy atmosphere of the main hall, closed his cloudy eyes, and held back tears.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play, this time the 100,000 soldiers of the Wuyue Army died tragically in Hanliuguan, the minister thought that it was caused by the command error of Tianyin, the grandson of the King of Huiyue, my country was supposed to recover the territory, there was no need to continue to go deep into the hinterland of the enemy, but Tianyin did not get the order of the imperial court to pursue the victory privately, and he should be punished heavily. ”
Guo Youzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, held the tortoiseshell jade and said righteously.
"Your Majesty, the minister also has something to say, although my Wuyue Empire suffered a defeat and the 100,000 Wuyue Army was wiped out, but this kind of war situation was even more numerous in the previous dynasty, and the ancestors did not bury it with a state ceremony, and Your Majesty for the sake of only 100,000 soldiers, is it inappropriate to damage the dignity of the royal family?"
Shen Tao, the former waiter, said.
"That's right! Funeral soldiers with national rites, this kind of honor can only be enjoyed by royal relatives and nobles, and His Majesty's move is really unreasonable. ”
"Your Majesty also awarded Tianyin, the grandson of King Huiyue, a first-class loyal martyr, and buried him with the rites of the crown prince, which is completely contrary to the code of ethics and is really inappropriate. ”
Suddenly, all the forces in the hall expressed their positions, accusing Tianyin and his Wuyue Army of not having enough meritorious achievements, and dissatisfaction spread throughout the hall.
Only the military department did not have any intention of expressing their position, they knelt in the hall reverently, and their posture did not change.
In front of the rows of generals in silver armor, an old man kneeling on one knee, dressed in black armor.
He was covered with fluffy white hair that had not been combed for a long time, a pair of yellowed eyes sunken in the thin cheekbones, and circles of black marks around the eyes, mixed with a little red marks, which looked like a symptom of not sleeping for a long time and washing his face with tears.
He is the legendary figure of the Wuyue Empire, the god of war on the battlefield, the Huiyue King Tianpeiguo. He is the only one who can be favored by the emperor and not bow down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am cold!"
Wu Qiong turned to look at Tian Peiguo, who was kneeling on one knee and was silent, his eyes were scattered, and his soul was not guarded, and then a wave of anger went straight to his heart, and an ominous aura of slaughter swept through the hall.
"A full 100,000 Wuyue Army, 100,000 families have been displaced, do you know how heavy the price of my Wuyue Empire is?"
"You rice buckets who only know how to hold the court's money, but you can't tell right from wrong. If your children die on the battlefield, you will cry and cry for me to be the master!"
"I also want to blame my loyal martyr king for leaving his post without permission and not obeying orders, if he hadn't guarded this magnificent country for me, would you be able to keep it by relying on you?"
Emperor Wulie looked at the silent generals, a trace of imperceptible cunning flashed in his eyes, and the magnificent imperial aura pressed everyone into a cold sweat on their foreheads.
There was a chill in the hall, and no one dared to resist the emperor's anger.
"All stand down! ”
After a short while, Wu Qiong opened his mouth to interrupt the silence of the palace.
