Chapter 52: The Children of the Netherworld
"Because I want to save her, I can only seal the ice to her and use my chosen son to save her. Lie Yu's gaze was forbearing, as if tears were flowing, "The pain of the ice seal is unbearable for ordinary people, let alone her...... But this is like dying, as long as Bei Yao can live. ”
Yelan was numb when he heard this, and he needed to sort out what he had heard.
"Do you know the Cursed Child?" said Blaze Feather suddenly.
Yelan looked up sharply, he seemed to understand something.
The five ancient ice seals represent the chosen son. They are Dark Ice, Hard Ice, Polar Ice, Cold Ice, and Blade Ice. And after cultivating and refining, these five seals can be cultivated separately to cultivate the true qi of ice and become the invincible overlord of the world, so they are called the chosen ones.
There is an oracle that says: The chosen son, after all the hardships, will become the overlord of the world.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and two chosen sons appeared at the same time, which has never been seen in history. Originally, there must be a duel between the two heroes, but now that Lie Yu has given up, this has avoided a war and a fight.
And if there is the Chosen Son, there is the opposite Son of the Damned, also known as the Son of the Netherworld.
The Son of the Netherworld has not appeared for hundreds of years, and everyone only treats it as a joke, but they didn't expect that the first Son of the Netherworld in a hundred years would appear in this world at the same time as these two Chosen Sons, forming a three-legged stand.
"The children of the underworld are born incapable of living, and will be killed. Lie Yu's tone was heavy, "But I'm unwilling, I don't want to watch my sister die in front of me." So when she was born, I looked through the ancient books and asked my teacher, and finally found a way to save her, which was to seal my chosen son and this cold ice to her. ”
"I don't care about this identity, this false name. I care about her. ”
"Yao'er has the power of the Netherworld in her body, and the power of the Netherworld clashes with the power of the Ice Seal, so at the beginning of every month, she will suffer from cold illness, her body will be cold, and in severe cases, she will vomit blood. ”
"The son of the Netherworld can't refine the power of ice, he can only live and endure. Yelan's voice was very soft, light and a little weak.
"I took my anger on her, so she would feel better. But her body can't bear much. At this, the tones of the two men became heavy, as if a huge stone was pressing on the hearts of the two of them, crushing them out of breath.
"She didn't show it. Yelan said, I don't know if I was talking to Lie Yu or talking to myself.
"She doesn't want to trouble me, she suffers all the hardships herself. If it weren't for me this time, she wouldn't have been able to marry Bei Xuan far away, and I would have found Lie Wuxue to settle this account. Lie Yu clenched his fists and gurgled.
Yelan took out two bottles of medicine from his arms and handed them to Lie Yu, "One is to relieve cold diseases, and the other is to regulate the true qi in the body." Take it back and give it to Bei Yao. ”
There was a hint of surprise in Lie Yu's eyes, and he took the medicine and carefully stuffed it into his arms.
"Who the hell are you?" asked Lie Yufa.
"Jiuchen, the fourth prince, Yelan. Yelan said word by word, her expression was calm, and her face did not change.
"But a prince, how could there be such a powerful True Qi Inner Breath?And these medicines, where did you get them?" Lie Yu looked at Yelan vigilantly, his eyes full of doubt and distrust.
"I have refined the Ice True Qi, and I am the Chosen One. Yelan said lightly.
"What about these medicines?" Lie Yu said.
"These medicines were prepared by my master and used to improve my martial arts. Yelan replied.
"Your master?" Lie Yu was slightly surprised, frowning.
"I have to take it a grain of salt when we don't fully trust each other yet. Yelan said very directly.
Lie Yu didn't press closer, he bowed slightly, "I believe you don't have bad intentions towards my sister, since that's the case, at least we are not enemies." ”
"Then the second thing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to say......"
"The second thing is that His Royal Highness the King of Light is so clever that he has already guessed it. Lie Yu smiled, "The agreement with the rebels was signed by Lie Bufan, what does it have to do with me." I will try to delay as much as possible not to reinforce the rebels, and I hope that His Royal Highness will also destroy the rebels as soon as possible, which will benefit everyone. ”
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't say it, I will do the same. Yelan said.
"The King of Light is a smart person, and smart people like to work with smart people. Now that Lie Bufan and His Royal Highness's second brother Ye Ji are cooperating in pairs, I really hope to cooperate with His Royal Highness the King of Light. There is something in Lie Yu's words, he wants to bind himself to Yelan, support each other, and ascend to the throne.
"I think King Gong has approached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to cooperate with me instead of choosing King Gong? After all, King Gong is more likely to become the crown prince than me. Yelan said.
Lie Yu smiled but did not answer.
"After today's talk, I will return to the barracks and wait for the good news of His Royal Highness King Guang. Lie Yu spoke.
Yelan bowed his head, "Slow down and don't send it." Remember to help me bring it to Sister Ling. ”
"Maybe in the future, you'll call me big brother. Lie Yu turned around and chuckled, Yelan didn't hear what he said.
......
"Yelan is not dead. Nan Xuanji said coldly to Ye Shu.
"What!" Ye Shu's pupils widened, "What did the crane in the clouds do, let Yelan survive!"
Murong Yongci let him go. Nan Xuanji's eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a cold breath.
Ye Shu always had a fear of Nan Xuanji like this from the bottom of his heart.
"What now?" Ye Shu asked.
"Murong Yongci is a scourge, and the cranes in the clouds can't leave their mouths alive and kill them. Nan Xuanji's tone was still so cold, like a 10,000-year-old iceberg, and he never smiled.
"Yang Bu is a good seedling. Ye Shu laughed, "I arranged a eunuch beside Yun Zhonghe before, and it's time to sing a double reed." ”
"In this way, even if Yelan reports it in front of the emperor in the future, it will be fine. ”
Ye Shu looked at Nan Xuanji, took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Nan Xuanji, "Uncle Cousin, this is the Xuangong Order that I ordered someone to rebuild." When the battle of the rebels is over, my cousin will go back to manage the Xuan Palace. ”
Nan Xuanji raised his head, his cold eyes moved, he lowered his head again, and the edge of his mouth was an unchanged arc, and the curvature seemed to freeze at the corner of his mouth, gradually stiffening.
"Uncle Cousin?" Ye Shu called softly.
Nan Xuanji took the token, without any expression on his face, his eyebrows moved, he opened his mouth, and finally said, "Your Highness Xie." ”
"Uncle Cousin is polite. Ye Shu smiled, his handsome face revealed a hint of straightforwardness, at this moment, there was no scheming, in fact, he was very sincere, and it was also very sad.
But what he did when he was a child is indelible.
......
Since Yelan's defeat and escape, Yunzhonghe left Murong Yongci in Fort Made, and returned to the base camp Dimahi Province with his personal guards.
"See the lord. The three generals under the crane in the clouds saluted the crane in the clouds. - One is Yang Buxian, the advisor of the crane in the clouds, the other is the general of the crane in the clouds, Fang Yu, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and the other is the commander of the infantry Jiuhan.
"No courtesy. The crane in the clouds waved his hand, "This king has something he wants to discuss with Zhu Qing. ”
"My lord, please speak. The three of them said in unison.
"Nowadays, most of the military salaries in the city are given to the trapped camps for military expenses, and the war will last for a long time, and soon there will be no food and salaries. The province is frugal, but the food and salary of the Praetorian Guards and infantry have been in arrears for a long time, and the soldiers cannot go to the battlefield without food, and they are already in a mood. This king wants to ask Zhu Qing what he proposes?" asked the crane in the clouds.
"Returning to the lord, the minister thought that he could borrow food from those small tribes and Beixuan who supported us to temporarily relieve the urgent need. Jiuhan said.
"Those small tribes are short-sighted and stingy, it's good if they don't borrow food from us, and you still want them to borrow food from us?" Fang Yu retorted.
"Then the Northern Xuan is a big country...... Jiu Han was about to speak, but Yang Buyu stood up again and interrupted, "My lord, I don't think it's feasible to borrow grain from both sides, according to the ministers, no one in the two countries will borrow our grain." ”
"Then what is Aiqing's plan?" asked the crane in the clouds.
Yang Buyu knelt down with a "plop" and clasped his fists, "The minister is willing to donate his family wealth to solve the urgent needs of the lord." ”
Yun Zhonghe was moved by Yang Buxian's actions and got up and trembled slightly, "Aiqing is loyal to the country and willing to donate family wealth, this king is very moved!
"Thank you for the grace of the lord!" Yang Buyu kowtowed again, straightened the hem of his clothes, got up and made a color at Fang Yu and Jiu Han who were standing on the side and were stunned, the two of them reacted immediately, and quickly knelt down and expressed their willingness to donate their family wealth with Yang Buxian.
Naturally, Yun Zhonghe was moved again, and gave the two of them the promotion of officials respectively, and then waved his hand to send the three down.
Retreating from the main hall, Jiu Han and Fang Yu hurriedly surrounded Yang Buyu to ask for advice.
"Brother Yang is worthy of being the prime minister, he is really witty and good at observing words and feelings. Thanks to Brother Yang's reminder just now. Jiu Han arched his hand.
Yang Buyu waved his hand, "Brother Jiuhan, you are too polite. He smiled, "They are both doing things for the Lord, and they should take care of each other." ”
"Brother Yang's clever plan, please give me more advice in the future. Fang Yu also arched his hand, and Jiu Han asked tentatively, "Dare to ask why Brother Yang suddenly made such remarks in the palace?"
"Harm, these two don't know, sometimes the lord's meaning doesn't need to be so clear. Yang Buru stroked his beard, "We do things for the lord, and we have accumulated a lot of family wealth over the years, can the lord not know? If we don't take the initiative to contribute, and when we are charged with a crime in the future, won't we be wronged?" ”
"And now that we have taken the initiative to mention it, we will not only be promoted to the rank of knight, but also leave a good impression in the hearts of the lord. ”
"I see, teachable, teachable. The two of them clasped their fists and complimented.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Buyu took the opportunity to say, "If you want to say that this General Murong has great military achievements and has the highest status in the hearts of the lords. But at this moment of peril, he can't share the worries of the lord, and he doesn't share the worries for the country like us...... Alas......"
"General Murong is poor, and the only property he has is used for the construction of the trapped camp, which cannot be said to be the general's fault. Fang Yu said euphemistically.
"General Fang's words are wrong. Jiu Han interjected. "The trapped camp was originally led by Murong Yongci, and he paid for the trapped camp, in my opinion, it was just for his own selfish interests. ”
"It is rumored that Murong Yongci is the boss in the trapped camp, which obviously does not take the lord seriously. Yang Buyu arched his hand in the direction of the main hall and lowered his voice, "In my opinion, Murong Yong's meritorious service is high, and sooner or later he will have a heart of disobedience." ”
"We are ministers in the same dynasty as Murong Yongci, if Murong Yongci rebels, we will not be able to tolerate it, I must tell the lord about this matter when I have the opportunity, and I have to beware of Murong Yongci. Yang Buyu deliberately said this to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu bowed his head slightly after hearing this, and was silent.
