Chapter 7 Night Visits

When the storm comes, even though they are in the whirlpool, some people choose to escape, and some people choose to move forward like moths to fire. At night, the empire is quiet and serene, just like those who have gone through ups and downs, they are not alarmed, because this land has long been regarded as their home.

The night wind was cold, and there were people flying fast under the bright moon, and thousands of pillar-shaped stone lamps carved with coiled dragons were mixed with the bright moon, illuminating the land like day.

She didn't have time to choose the way, and headed for the most splendid and magnificent hall in front of her, and when she encountered an obstacle on the way, she tapped her toes, and swept by as light as a swallow, and the rush was smooth, even though she passed by a group of guards in silver armor, but no one dared to step forward to stop her, and let her pass through this majestic palace.

This is the center of the world, and it is also the eye of the right to look down on all beings.

The ground is covered with white marble slabs, a few vigorous ancient pines, planted on the Nine Dragons Altar in front of the main hall according to the direction of the Big Dipper, the dense pine needles are as majestic as a canopy, shaking in the wind, but the moon is inclined through the gap of the pine needles to lower a layer of white moonlight, mixed with the golden candle flame shot out of the stone lamp, just like being in the fairy palace.

A spacious stone path leads straight to the gorgeous and majestic palace, and at the end of the stone path, a huge white marble stone, carved with nine vivid five-clawed dragons swimming in the auspicious clouds.

Under the moonlight, the black jade glass roof of the palace shone brightly, although the night was dark, it could not hide its dominance in the slightest.

From time to time, a breeze blows a cloud to hide the moon, but the bright moon will always reappear leisurely.

The woman in the Taoist robe fell to the outside of the main hall, and looked up to see that the jade plaque on the eaves was impressively carved with three majestic golden characters - Lingxiao Palace.

"Heavenly Master!" Seeing the person coming, the silver-armored servants outside the hall clasped their fists and saluted, and the long lance in their hands was loud.

The Heavenly Master Xianyue strode without stopping for a moment, his eyes were as cold as frost, and he strode into the hall.

"The Heavenly Master has arrived!" a eunuch shouted in front of the main hall.

Although it is already night, hundreds of golden glass lamps illuminate the golden light of the whole hall, and the golden light is sprinkled all over every dark corner of the hall, and the light drags out a long light shadow, covering the whole magnificent hall with a layer of golden light.

On the white jade floor in the main hall, a red carpet is spread straight to the high jade seat, the red carpet is embroidered with gold thread with two five-clawed gold dragon patterns, the red carpet is one zhang wide, like the central axis, the golden section of the hall is divided into two halves, and six huge white jade gilt dragon pillars are erected on both sides of the red carpet, which imply twelve earth branches respectively.

Under the dragon pillar, each stood a general, dressed in gold armor, with a golden sword hanging on his waist, and a golden helmet on his head, shining with golden light under the bright light. - It is a famous one, the emperor is the twelfth guard.

The book in "Emperor Linfu": The Twelve Guards of Emperor Lin:

They are named as "Difficulty", "Chifenruo", "Setig", "Shan Yan", "Zhixu", "Dahuangluo", "Dunqi", "Xieqia", "Shutan", "Zuo Mao", "Eun", and "Dayuanxian", which are taken from the twelve earthly branches.

It shows the supreme right of the imperial family, just like these twelve golden armor god generals, which cannot be desecrated at all times.

The emperor has twelve guards, all wearing gold armor, gold helmets, and gold swords. The 10,000 enemies selected from the army are all brave and good at fighting, bravely crowning the three armies, and the official residence is not subject to the orders of the three divisions, but only serving the emperor's family, and can behead hundreds of officials.

The Twelve Guards of the Emperor are mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the Imperial Family and carrying out the divine punishment of the Imperial Family.

It is recorded in the history books: In the nineteenth year of the Dragon Dynasty, King Yong, the vassal king of Huadu Prefecture, had 300,000 troops, and was not ordered by the emperor's family to dominate the fourteen counties in the south.

The emperor's dragon face was furious, and sent the emperor to carry out the divine punishment, and the Yongwang Mansion was washed in blood overnight, and the guards, retinues, and relatives in the palace, a total of 1,370 people, none of them survived, and since then the six states in the world have been peaceful, and no one dares to challenge the emperor's divine power.

A tall and thin figure walked from outside the hall, her beautiful face could not hide a trace of tiredness, the pale cyan robe swayed with her gestures, the robe was close to her limbs, and the faintly visible silhouette of the body was so light.

Seeing the visitor, the man in the big red robe on the jade seat hurriedly got up, and the two people sitting next to the seat also got up to greet each other.

"Heavenly Master!" the men in white and purple gold python robes saluted in unison, their tone humble.

"I've seen General Han and King Ning!" Heavenly Master Xianyue bowed slightly with the two of them.

Then he clenched his fists with both hands, raised them above his head, bowed down, and said: "Heavenly Master's Mansion Xianyue, meet the emperor's family!"

She did not kneel and bow, the first emperor Longquan made an edict that the heavenly master did not need to kneel and bow when he saw the emperor.

"No courtesy, no courtesy! Come on, give a seat!" The man in the red robe with the golden silk dragon pattern stood on the royal platform and stared at the seat.

He is above everyone like a god - this person is the emperor of the world, the current emperor of the kingdom of heaven: Long Xi.

Long Xi was dressed in a large red Linluo brocade robe, with nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered with gold thread on the robe, and a red gold-rimmed nine-pronged crown on his head. A fluffy yellow hair on the top, a withered complexion, a rickety figure, if not the world knows the birth of the emperor's family, looking at his appearance, he does not look like a thirty-six-year-old person.

Two eunuchs dressed in black robes, wearing crowns and vermilion ties, carrying a rosewood gilt carved chair, trotted all the way to the woman, placed the chair closest to the imperial platform, and then bowed to the woman.

Tie, also known as ribbon. It is a symbol of today's power, three inches wide and more than a foot long, and is sewn on the collar of the official uniform.

According to the "Emperor's Heavenly Law: Etiquette Law", the civil officials of the Emperor's Kingdom are uniformly dressed in black official uniforms, wearing a literary crown, and leading ribbons.

This color belt is also known as a tie, divided into: vermilion, purple, blue three colors, three or more wear Zhu belt, six or more wear purple belt, nine or more wear blue belt. The ties of each color are subdivided into: gold wire inlaid jade belt, inlaid jade belt, plain face belt, and the ties of the three accessories are arranged in turn.

This eunuch wears vermilion, and he is a member of the emperor's three ranks.

"Celestial Master, please take a seat. The leading eunuch did not dare to look directly at the person in front of him.

"Thank you. Heavenly Master Xianyue thanked softly. Flicking his sleeves, he walked towards the rosewood gilt carved chair.

"Why did the Heavenly Master visit Lingxiao Palace late at night?" asked the Heavenly Emperor on the jade throne.

"The moon has something to say. Heavenly Master Xianyue did not get up and replied softly.

"Heavenly Master, come quickly!" said the Heavenly Emperor's deep and hoarse voice.

"Today, the sky is strange, and the earth is robbing the stars - the catastrophe is coming......" Heavenly Master Xianyue hesitated for a moment, unwilling to reveal the truth.

After thinking for a moment, she also knew that the situation was serious and should not be concealed, so she sighed lightly: "Dasi Tianqi has a spiritual eye, and he was accidentally eaten by the heavenly machine, and his qi was damaged, and his aura was ......."

"What!" The man on the jade throne coughed lightly twice, and a strong bad omen came to his heart, and his face became even more ugly, "Ahem...... Cough...... Is Dasi Tian okay?"

"Emperor Yu's family, Da Sitian has no worries about his life for the time being. Her expression was gloomy, and she didn't want to mention it more, "However, her qi was damaged, and the national player Liu Daozi told her that she would never be lucky in ......the future."

The man's eyes on the jade throne trembled involuntarily, and he spoke in a hurry: "That, that...... What did she see?"

He is the Emperor of Heaven, and all living beings are regarded as ants at his feet.

However, for the first time since he ascended the throne, he felt helpless, and fear arose in his heart, he feared that the inheritance created by his ancestors would be lost in his hands, and he was afraid of losing the power to reign over the world in his hands.

- "The blood moon rises in the east, all things wail, white bones fill the lake, and the demon Jiao appears in the world......"

"Ahem, ahem...... Miscellaneous...... What ......" The man on the jade seat coughed violently, and one did not sit still, and fell to the ground.

The black-robed eunuch who was waiting on the side exclaimed, "Emperor's family!" and hurriedly crawled to the ground, climbed forward and hugged the man in the big red vermilion robe, and helped him back to his seat.

"The dragon body is important! Emperor Family!" the old eunuch whispered in front of the big red scarlet-robed man's ear.

- Although the world is peaceful, who would have thought that the man who was like a god in the sky would have been terminally ill.

"It's okay!" The man on the jade throne took the brocade handkerchief handed by the old eunuch, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and waved his hand to signal him to retreat.

"Heavenly Master, the demon snake that Da Si Tian said, is it ...... Is it—Blood Yin Jiao?" the man on the jade throne tried his best to control his emotions and sat upright.

Heavenly Master Xianyue nodded, and under the lantern, her thin figure remained motionless.

"It's Wuyue Country again, they want to assassinate the king on the road to heaven today......" A cold snort came from his ears, and his voice was cold, "It's all because the first emperor was merciful and didn't set foot in southern Xinjiang, and now they have the heart of cholera, and they will be punished this time." ”

Looking back, the person who spoke had a handsome face, it was actually Long Ming!

Could it be that today's assassination in the downtown area has angered the mild-mannered His Royal Highness King Ning?

"King Ning was assassinated today?" Heavenly Master Xianyue was shocked, and his voice raised slightly, "Bold, who dares to commit murder in the Emperor's Landing City?"

"General Han!" I saw Heavenly Master Xian's eyes glancing to the side, and suddenly his face sank, and he questioned the young man in white who was sitting upright.

"It's true, the assassin stayed in Yunlai Tower, and he did use Wuyue coins, and ......" Han Yu paused.

His eyes were gloomy, and a layer of frost gathered between his eyebrows: "According to the intelligence, the person who assassinated King Ning and the Tiger Marquis Tong Yuan were committed by the same group. ”

"Heavenly Master, do you know why I transferred Hu Weihou back from the Northern Realm?" the man on the jade throne suddenly spoke, calm and deep.

"I don't know!"

The Heavenly Emperor who was high on the jade throne did not rush to speak, slowly picked up a jade cup on the coffee table at hand, and took a sip of fragrant tea.

With a long sigh, he said: "Recently, the southern land is not very peaceful, Wuyue Kingdom has repeatedly violated the border, the people of Yunyun County are miserable, and the Wuwang uses the people of Yunyun to coerce each other, and wants to let King Ning enter the ......."

"Hmph," Heavenly Master Xianyue snorted coldly, slapped the armrest of the wooden chair, and scolded, "Have they forgotten the lesson of thirty years ago?"

The Emperor of Heaven closed his eyes slightly, and his dry lips moved: "Since the rebellion of the Yongwang, in order to prevent the regeneration of Huadu Prefecture, it has been more than ten years since I added another soldier or general.

Finally, he couldn't bear the dullness in his chest and coughed violently.

"Ahem...... Cough...... How do you know that Hu Weihou has suffered a tragic accident, and he has not yet fallen before he leaves the army, I ...... I...... It's heartbreaking!" The man in the big red robe on the jade throne raised his head and sighed, beating his chest.

"Emperor Yu's family! The last general is willing to lead his troops south to conquer the Wuyue Kingdom. Han Yu suddenly got up, slammed his knee against the white jade slab, made a muffled sound, and knelt on one knee and clenched his fists for his life.

"Hurry up, I know that your Duke Wulie's Mansion is full of loyalty!" the Heavenly Emperor raised his hand and continued, "But if you lead your troops south, who will guard this Emperor Yang's city?"

With the sound of his palm slapping the wooden handle, Long Ming got up angrily and shouted softly: "Brother Emperor, is it possible that my dignified Emperor Linguo has no generals available? Then let this king lead his troops south and pacify the small country of Wuyue." The man said haughtily.

"Nonsense!" The man on the jade throne was angry, threw the jade cup in his hand to the ground, and smashed it with a bang, "Wuyue Kingdom is one of the five great powers today, how can you say that you can be peaceful!"

"Although the emperor is in the land of Middle-earth, the fertile field is thousands of miles, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, how can the four countries be surrounded by strong enemies, the four countries are eyeing the land of my Middle Earth, and it is not suitable for the tiger generals to guard the gate of the Quartet, rashly waving his army to the south, if the great powers attack, how can mortals stop it?"

"Then it's not up to him to make a second ...... in the small country of Wuyue" Long Ming wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by the man on the jade throne.

Just listen, shouting: "Presumptuous!"

Long Ming didn't dare to squeak anymore, and sat on the chair with his head down, his color not angry.

Long.

The hall was silent, and the falling needles could be heard.

The man on the jade seat was silent for a long time, and everyone under the seat did not dare to make a sound, as if time had fallen asleep at that moment.

A gust of wind blew into the hall, causing dozens of glass lamps to sway, as if to tell the world that time was still flowing.

"Emperor's family, there is someone recommended by Xianyue!" The woman in the Taoist robe got up and took a step forward and bowed slightly.

"Oh, who does the Heavenly Master recommend?" the man on the jade throne smiled meaningfully.

"The one who was demoted to a commoner by the first emperor back then, the commander of the Silver Wing Iron Cavalry - Ah Jiu!" she looked at the man on the jade throne, and the man's eyes seemed to be attracted by her clear eyes.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

"-He!" On the jade seat, the man in the big red vermilion robe was surprised, and stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of disbelief.

"The last general also strongly recommends this person!" Han Yu, who was kneeling on the ground and begging for his life, heard the voice, clasped his hands into fists, and his voice was loud.

The man on the jade throne thought for a long time, and although he was afraid of this person in his heart, he finally nodded slightly.

"Since the Heavenly Master and Duke Wulie strongly recommend this person, I will not worry about it anymore, depending on the two of you. After hesitating for a moment, the man in the big red robe seemed to have made up his mind, "It's just that I have been on the throne for five years, and I haven't heard that this person is still alive!"

"Emperor Qi's family! This person is now living in seclusion in Longyuan Pool, and Hanyu is willing to invite him out of the mountain. Han Yu's expression was determined, and his loud voice wandered through the hall.

The Dao robe woman glanced meaningfully at Han Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and the corners of her mouth curved imperceptibly into a knowing smile.

"Han Yu! The first emperor was indeed unfair to his father and the silver wing iron cavalry under his command, if that person was willing to serve the emperor in the country, I am not to blame for what he did in the past!"

The man on the jade throne had a firm gaze, a rare look, and a natural coercion permeated the hall.

The two of them under the jade seat were happy, looked at each other, hugged their fists and saluted in unison, and said in unison: "Hanyu, Xianyue, thank you to the emperor's family!"

"Ha, ha, ha...... Ha, ha......" The man in the big red scarlet robe on the jade throne raised his head and smiled, waved his hand to the people under the seat, and walked towards the dormitory behind the main hall.
