Chapter 516: Heart-to-Heart
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar!
No one expected that the key to the legendary artifact Heavenly Soul Hall turned out to be a heart, and besides, this heart was still alive when it was separated from the human body, and it was even beating slowly!
In fact, this heart is Zhang Guangzong's heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A brick of the Heavenly Soul Palace, which has been nourished by the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Soul Hall for countless years, has life, and turned into a human form, this life form is Zhang Guangzong.
After Zuo Dongling discovered Zhang Guangzong, he carefully cultivated him, and implanted the key to the Heavenly Soul Hall into his heart at the right time. Since then, Zhang Guangzong has become the guardian of the Heavenly Soul Palace, and his heart is the heart of the Heavenly Soul Palace, however, the heart of the Heavenly Soul Hall is no longer his heart.
He became a heartless person.
On that stormy night of the Heavenly Soul Sect, Xiao Zhang obtained Zhang Guangzong's heart, thus controlling the Heavenly Soul Hall to completely defeat Zuo Dongling, and from then on, that heart no longer belonged to Zhang Guangzong.
Xiao Zhang carefully collected that heart, and only at this time did he give it to the emperor to prove that he did not want to monopolize the control of the Heavenly Soul Palace, and since that stormy night, Xiao Zhang had also experimented several times, but failed to successfully awaken the Heavenly Soul Hall again.
Therefore, the reason why Xiao Zhang was willing to hand over that heart to the emperor was actually because he had lost hope in the Heavenly Soul Palace, and it was okay to hand it over, such a chicken rib could be exchanged for his temporary peace, and it could be regarded as earned.
The emperor stared at the heart in Xiao Zhang's hand, and he couldn't help but stand up, and in the blink of an eye, his figure had already left the dragon chair and came to Xiao Zhang.
"Well, that's good!" The Emperor observed the heart up close, and nodded repeatedly, "That's it, the key to the Heavenly Soul Palace, good, good!" ”
As he spoke, he didn't see any movement from the emperor, but saw that the heart floated away from Xiao Zhang's hand and slowly flew to the emperor's hand.
The emperor held the heart with one hand, and then with a backhand turn, the heart disappeared, and it should have been taken into his own space.
Then, the emperor turned around and strode up the steps, and sat on the dragon chair very boldly, his original pale face had returned to its ruddy color, and the whole person suddenly glowed with incomparable energy.
In fact, since entering this Qitian Palace, which represents the center of power in the world, Xiao Zhang has already understood that the emperor is waiting for this moment, if Xiao Zhang does not hand over this heart, then he will leave this hall alive no matter what.
The whole world is not the king's land, the emperor is the emperor after all, and the whole world is his, so whatever he wants, the emperor will definitely get.
"Hahahaha......" The emperor turned out to be very unusual, raised his head and laughed heartily, as if the entire hall was glowing with incomparable energy in his laughter.
"Xiao Zhang, you did a good job!" The emperor couldn't hide his excitement, "I can take and give, I can bend and stretch, this is a big husband!" It can also be seen that you are loyal enough to me! ”
Xiao Zhang smiled slightly, bowed deeply to the emperor, but still did not kneel.
At this moment, Huang Guozhong and the prince's faces are like pig's liver, black and purple, not to mention the ugly strength. Originally, they wanted to use the handle of the Heavenly Soul Hall to ruthlessly rectify Xiao Zhang, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang took the lead and took the initiative to hand over the key to the Heavenly Soul Hall to the emperor!
This situation was something that the two of them never expected. In their consciousness, according to Xiao Zhang's character, once they get something against the sky, they will not hand it over even if they die. It's not just Xiao Zhang, they also think that if it were themselves, they would never do it.
However, Xiao Zhang really did it, and he did it on his own initiative.
What's going on? Could it be that Xiao Zhang is suffering from madness? Silly? Stunned? Idiot?
They would never have thought that Xiao Zhang's character was actually what they thought, and they would not let go of it even if they got good things, but for Xiao Zhang, the Heavenly Soul Hall was just a piece of chicken ribs that had no meat to eat and discarded.
"Wei Zhong." The emperor was in a good mood, and said to Wei Zhong, the eunuch beside him, "You immediately spread my will and tell the world that the Xiao family's secret possession of evil demon exercises is purely Zuo Dongling's slanderous words. And Zuo Dongling took this reason to create the Xiao family tragedy, which is a heinous crime, and the failure to solve the case in time is the fault of the imperial court, and I express my deep apologies to the Xiao family on behalf of the court of the Dayan Empire. Therefore, I want to build a mausoleum and erect a monument for the people of the Xiao family, and choose a day to go to Yunzhou City to worship! ”
Wei Zhong immediately knelt down and shouted: "Obey the order!" ”
At this moment, Xiao Zhang finally couldn't help it, tears welled up wildly, and the thousands of heroic spirits of the Xiao family could finally rest in peace at this moment.
With a grunt, Xiao Zhang finally knelt his never-bending knee on the ground.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live-" At this sound, Xiao Zhang shouted with almost all his strength, and at this moment, Xiao Zhang completely vented the pain that had been stuck in his heart for many years.
He shouted long live not to target the emperor, but to take this opportunity to comfort the Xiao family's 1,000 dead lives. He did it, not only avenging the blood revenge of the family, but also getting rid of the evil charges for the heroic spirit of the family.
All this is what he deserves, and it is what the Xiao family deserves, but except for one person, because this tragedy that should not have happened happened happened with the connivance of that person.
That person is his father, the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhantian.
Although Xiao Zhantian had already given sufficient reasons and made full explanations, Xiao Zhang still inevitably had a deep grudge against him.
Facing the emperor, kneeling on the top of the hall, no matter how the emperor persuaded him to calm down, Xiao Zhang didn't stand up for a long time, tears seemed to be blood, not from his eyes, but from his heart.
This scene made the ministers present also couldn't help but be moved, and sighed one after another.
The emperor looked at Xiao Zhang quietly, his face was kind, but his thoughts seemed to drift back to many years ago, at that time, there was a man named Xiao Zhantian, who swore to become his loyal subordinate, and from that moment on, the emperor handed over that important task to him. Today, Xiao Zhantian's task has been successfully completed, and he has handed over the Heavenly Soul Hall without selfishness.
The emperor nodded slightly, looking at Xiao Zhang quietly, but the figure of Princess Lanxiang appeared in his mind, at this moment, he had found the most satisfactory home for his most beloved daughter......
With a gentle wave of his hand, a soft force surged towards Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Zhang couldn't help but stand up, that power was warm and soft, and even helped him wipe away the tears on his face.
The emperor said slowly: "The father and son of the Xiao family are loyal to the country, and after countless hardships and dangers, they helped the imperial court get rid of the great scourge of Zuo Dongling, and made great contributions. Xiao Zhang, how should I reward you? ”
