Chapter 314: The Price (I)
No one knows what happened that day, but there are rumors in the palace that Chengzong went to Zhaoyang Hall again that day, and when he came out, he had white hair, although he looked like he was dozens of years old, but the temperament of the whole person was transformed, becoming more gloomy and low.
Lu Yifa was also shocked when he saw it for the first time, but when he heard Chengzong say the first sentence, he noticed this change.
"If this place is sealed, no one is allowed to come again, and those who violate it will be beheaded. ”
said that he would leave without looking back.
That night, Chengzong's review and folding was late at night, and Lu Yifa was sent away by him early, and he was the only one in the palace and the eunuch on duty outside the palace.
After all, it's just a ** mortal fetus, and the successive stays up late have made Cheng Zong a little unbearable, and he shook his arm that was a little sore, he cheered up, reached out and rubbed his temples, and was about to continue to review the folds, but suddenly someone in his ear suddenly spoke.
"Worries come from thoughts, and those who lose cannot be gained. ”
The voice came from the ethereal, with a little low and hoarse, Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and looked up to see that the hall was empty.
The candle flame shook slightly, as if a breeze was blowing, Chengzong thought about it carefully, but felt that this voice was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and then he heard the man laugh twice, and an old man with a gray beard stood in the hall.
Chengzong couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the comer, hurriedly stood up from the dragon chair, greeted him, and bowed respectfully, saying, "It's you!"
"It's a lot of trouble to come here late at night!" the man said with squinted eyes at Chengzong.
Chengzong hurriedly shook his head and said, "Recently, things have been complicated in the court, and I haven't been able to go to the Heavenly Spirit Palace to visit you, and I hope that the immortals will forgive me." ”
This person is the Nine Palaces Daoist in the Heavenly Spirit Palace, I saw him walk to the window, go out of the window, and say: "Don't get in the way, I also got out of the customs today, so I took advantage of the night to wander around, to be honest, I have lived in the palace for thousands of years, and I haven't taken a good look here!"
Hearing what the Nine Palace Daoist said, Cheng Zong couldn't help but take a closer look, and sure enough, his body looked a little empty at this time, so he didn't say anything, and stood behind him honestly.
"Li Xiaohua is my apprentice, and I have a way to deal with her. The Nine Palaces Daoist turned his back to Chengzong, looked at the night view of the imperial city, and asked with a brushing of his white beard.
Chengzong looked at the back of the Nine Palace Daoist and said, "What does the Immortal mean? Although the imperial power must be consolidated, the last token can only be used at a critical juncture!"
"What if I say I can still help you get the woman you love?" The Nine Palace Daoist turned his head, and a light seemed to flash in his cloudy eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said, "And you don't need to use the token, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Chengzong was slightly stunned and said, "Shangxian means that he is willing to help me?"
"Yes, but at a cost. The Nine Palace Daoist restrained his smile and looked at Cheng Zongdao.
"Okay!" Chengzong's voice trembled slightly, his heart moved, he was naturally convinced of the ability of the Nine Palace Daoist, if the other party could help him, and he could not use the token, this was naturally cost-effective, as for the other costs, as for the other costs, as the Son of Heaven, the whole world is not the king's land, and the palace has everything in the world, so naturally there is no need to think about it.
"Don't say yes so quickly, and those vulgar things don't look at it. The Nine Palaces Daoist continued: "What I want is your person." ”
