"Don't mess with the mandarin duck score. ”

This man was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, handsome, graceful, brisk steps, and a smile like a spring breeze and drizzle on his face. Although he was a rare and beautiful young man, Yinsha felt that he would not fall under his face so spinelessly. She couldn't even talk about him.

"I don't know why you said that nonsense in Lanxing Pavilion, but she won't remember it after drinking Lethe. You'd better hurry up, if you don't go, you won't be able to go. Hongkui approached Xuanyuan and whispered to him.

"It's just a matter of Lethe River, and she'll fall in love with me again. The self-confidence in Xuanyuan's bones made most men envious.

"You forgot about him so quickly?" Yu gradually pointed to the man and asked her, "This is the lover you just gave up to save not long ago." ”

Some fragmentary images crossed Yinsha's mind, leaving only a vague back, looming in a cherry forest.

Yinsha asked Hongkui puzzled: "Is it the first time I've met him?" She clearly remembered that when she returned to Cangming, Hongkui told herself that she was going out to play for a few days to relax, and it shouldn't be because she saved people and went elsewhere to heal.

Either Hongkui deceived her, or Yu gradually lied.

But what good is it for him to lie, Yinsha can't think of it. Lying or not, she wouldn't give him the Red Blood Demon Sword. So what does Hongkui mean by deceiving her, they finally reached the point where they are like sisters, and Hongkui doesn't seem to be a cool person.

"You don't have to pay attention to this, you still have to stay away from this man. "Hongkui doesn't want to see Yinsha hurt by Xuanyuan again, okay, it's not a denial of the first meeting, and it's not an admission of anything.

"You, what's your name!" Yinsha pointed at Xuanyuan and asked him.

"I was just wondering why you took the initiative to ...... that night" Xuanyuan heard the first half of Yu Yan's words, and Zhan Lujian had already swished out of its sheath. Xuanyuan has been enduring the pain and holding on to the Yicheng Palace, just to see the silver sand, so that he can get the Xuanbing Sword to stabilize his injuries.

"Angry, I see that you don't have the slightest demeanor of Chun Junya today. Isn't it to save her from her serious injuries that have not healed yet?" Yu gradually felt that his mana and immortal ze were far less powerful than those days, and he thought that if the Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword was still there, he felt that he had a great chance of winning.

When Youjian picked up the Zhan Lu Sword with an extremely ordinary sword, Xuanyuan knew that he couldn't hold it long, so he simply closed his eyes and calmly faced it with a generous and righteous attitude. He didn't think that the Red Blood Demon Sword would take the initiative to get out of her hand, and in an instant, the sword was split and scattered to the ground.

Everyone present except for Xuanyuan had their eyes wide open.

The Elder Excalibur will only protect its approved owner.

This truth is known to all cultivators.

However, the Red Blood Demon Sword, which has only been seen for 10,000 years, recognized Xuanyuan as the master, and the most painful thing is Yinsha himself.

It was the Xuanbing Sword she sacrificed, and it was she who personally contributed to the merger of the two swords into one; She knew what the Red Blood Sword meant, and she knew that she might die soon; However, all of a sudden, the Red Blood Demon Sword, a conscienceless thing, would protect a man she had no impression of, because it was good-looking? Indeed, Yinsha looked at Xuanyuan carefully, and he was indeed a stunning species.

Xuanyuan felt that this ancient sword, which he had never met, had the familiar aura of the Chixiao Sword. And he himself is the sword spirit of the Chixiao Sword, so it is reasonable for this sword to recognize him as the master.

That is, it is reasonable, not inevitable.

Yinsha can also be regarded as half of the sword spirit of the Xuanbing Sword, but when Yu gradually took her life with the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, the Red Blood Demon Sword did not have any aura.

In fact, when two sword spirits appeared in the same space dimension at the same time, the Red Blood Demon Sword had the intention of choosing the master. When there is only one sword spirit in Xuanbing or Chixiao, the person holding the sword must artificially manipulate it.

"Looks like it won't let you kill me. Xuanyuan said proudly, and put away the Red Blood Demon Sword again.

In one day, Yu gradually lost two good swords in succession.

"Come with me. "Xuanyuan reached out to the person who was haunting his dreams.

Yinsha felt that these three words were familiar. This voice, this movement, this situation, it seems that I have experienced it not long ago.

But in her memory section, this piece of the puzzle is missing.

"Yinsha, he hurt you a thousand times, don't you have a long heart?"

In just half a day's work, the warlord of the Xuan Kingdom, the prince of Cangming and the god of Mantuo Fengshen gathered in Yicheng Palace, which was a lively scene.

"When did my woman meet this goblin?" Yu gradually strives to take advantage of his mouth, and in terms of force value, he can only compete with a weak woman like Hongkui.

"Leprechaun?" Mu Qing had lived for so long, and it was the first time she had heard such disdainful words from the mouths of mortals.

Yicheng Palace was so lively, Liang Guifei and Youheng soon received the news, and the two of them arrived almost at the same time.

"Someone, tie him up for me!"

Youheng mistook Mu Qing for the warlord of Xuanguo, just because he wore the poor Qi mask hanging by Xuanyuan behind his waist. It is a bit absurd to recognize people by masks, but no one has seen Dugu Chengying's true face except for the faint shadow.

You gradually heard that the person his father wanted to tie up was the demon man who had just arrived, and he didn't debunk it—among them, only Yinsha and Xuanyuan could command the Red Blood Demon Sword. He wasn't sure if Yinsha was really murderous at this time, in case it was an illusion, just her strength alone, not only Yicheng Palace, but even the entire Cangming would definitely set off a bloody storm.

Mu Qing's mouth kept shouting, but his hands and feet were not sharp enough.

Several stout men tied him up thirty times with ropes, stuffed cloth strips in Mu Qing's mouth, and then carried him away.

When Yinsha saw this picture, there was no wave in his heart and he even wanted to laugh a little.

She doesn't know what Dugu Chengying is, what is the warlord of the Xuan Kingdom; The heart from the beginning has always belonged only to the man named Xuanyuan.

"You're not going to stop it?" Hongkui can indeed stand up and say something, but as soon as she speaks, it will involve more things. But if Yinsha took the initiative to say that Mu Qing was actually not the warlord of the Xuan Kingdom, it would be different. But—where does Silver Sands remember these things?

"Sons and daughters see father and mother. In the panic, he still did not forget to salute and greet him.

"Get up. Youheng took Concubine Liang's hand and slowly walked to the throne in the main hall.

"Who is this handsome boy? I have never seen it in Cangming. When Liang Guifei saw Xuanyuan for the first time, she felt that he must be a young man who had hidden in the inner courtyard for many years and had not shown up.

"He was a close friend of Erchen. Yu gradually rushed to introduce Xuanyuan, "He couldn't come to congratulate him on the wedding day before, and he didn't get free until today." ”

Xuanyuan glanced at Yu gradually with contempt, this son of the world's ability to talk nonsense and come out of his mouth was not inferior to himself at all.

"Minister--meet Your Majesty and Niangniang. This is forcing him to bow down to Cangming in disguise, and Xuanyuan didn't feel that he had suffered any great insult.

Xuanyuan's head was slightly chinned, but it was the gift of Xuanyuan.

I just heard Youheng sit upright and say: This son is not a Cangming clan, I don't know where Lingtang and Lingzun are now?

is not a Cangming person, Yu gradually lied that he was her best friend, Concubine Liang didn't expect that the son she raised was so bold now that he dared to make friends across borders.

"Your Majesty is angry, it is Ah gradually ignorant, I hope Your Majesty can deal with it leniently. ”

Concubine Liang hurriedly knelt down under Youheng's knees, it was much better to admit her mistakes first than to make mistakes later.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister's parents died when he was a child, and he has a wife at home. ”

Youheng didn't want to investigate the fault of Youjian for making friends without permission. Although Cangming State clearly forbade the prince to make friends across borders, he admired Xuanyuan from the bottom of his heart.

You Heng felt that Xuanyuan was not simple. He originally intended to marry the princess, but people said that he was already married, so he had to give up. The dignified Emperor Cangming forced his concubine to be married for the happiness of his daughter, and if this was spread out, he would be poked in the backbone all the time.

"Oh......"

Hongkui knew that the wife he was talking about was Yinsha. Xuanyuan likes to use Yinsha as an excuse for everything, and he has tried and tested repeatedly.

Youheng said again: I intend to ask Gongzi to be an official in my Cangming, but I don't know what to do?

Xuanyuan glanced to the right, and met Yinsha's gaze.

Yinsha's heart beat faster unconsciously, and she panicked and ran away from someone's gaze.

"I have thanked Your Majesty, but because there are some personal matters that need to be dealt with urgently, I can't stay in Cangming. Xuanyuan resigned the holy will of being an official in Cangming as the three expected.

Concubine Liang was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up without Youheng's permission.

"What are you doing on your knees? I didn't say I was going to punish him. You Heng noticed Concubine Liang, she forgot what she just said, and only cared about chatting with Xuanyuan.

There are still three months left until the eighth day of August.

Xuanyuan calculated that he could get along with Yinsha for three more months, and he was also very happy.

Xuanyuan didn't know if he would be able to get out of the battle with him. So as soon as he set up camp near Yudu, he begged Qianmo to use the forbidden technique to restore his cultivation as much as possible.

Forbidden art is forbidden after all. After a short period of cultivation improvement, Xuanyuan arrived in Yicheng Palace for less than an hour, and his body became weaker than before he came.

They chatted for less than two teas, and Youheng pretended to be casual and left Yicheng Palace with Concubine Liang.

Youheng received Youheng's resignation letter and thundered that night. He didn't expect that his eldest son and sister-in-law would hate Yu Yan so much, and did many insidious things that no one knew about.

In the second year of being established as the prince, Concubine Liang was seriously ill, and the prince went to the Buddha temple outside the city of Yudu to fast and pray for blessings. On the way down the mountain, Youpu arranged for the assassin to be assassinated, but failed. As a result, the killer saw that he would be wiped out empty-handed, so he robbed ten streets of silk and jewelry overnight, and fled to Nirvana with a lot of looted goods.

The year before last, a mudslide in the south of Xuanming Mountain on the border between Cangming and Xuanguo washed away more than ten villages at the foot of the mountain, killing countless old and weak women and children. This act was actually caused by the lack of vegetation caused by the indiscriminate felling of forest trees by the two princes in the mountain forest, resulting in a torrential rain, resulting in landslides, and many innocent people suffered.

The year before last, Youheng went to the private microservice for a private visit. On the road, he didn't see a single ragged citizen, and he thought that the people were living a prosperous life and that the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy had finally developed to the maximum. It turns out that this is all arranged by Yucheng. After Youcheng found out his whereabouts, he set a fire to Hanako's nest and slaughtered hundreds of poor tenants; In the end, let the people under him replace them one by one.

There are many, many things that treat human life as a mustard, and Youheng knows that these two sons are not so peaceful, but it is very unexpected that they have gone so far.

As a monarch, you must be broad-minded and long-term. We must not be confined to temporary unhappiness, and we must proceed from the overall situation in everything and put the interests of the country first.

And these two princes put their own interests first in everything. If you don't know how to give up your personal feelings, where can you win the support of the people.

Youheng has a hunch that Youheng will be a good emperor who works hard in the future.

If Youheng can promise not to mutilate his siblings and ensure that all his brothers and sisters can die well, Youheng is willing to pass the throne to him next month, and he will abdicate early to retire for the rest of his life.

Sitting on the dragon chair for a day, the body and mind will be tired for a day.

In Cangming, no one is more difficult than the emperor.

If you don't want to do it, you will do evil and wait to be deposed, and if the position of emperor is denounced by all the subjects, it is a failure of virtue to the people; If you are supported by the ministers, you have to have a bowl of water, and you can't be too partial to a certain official.

It's hard! It's too hard.

On the way out of Yicheng Palace, Youheng asked Concubine Liang what she meant:

What do you think of Ah gradually becoming the new emperor?

Concubine Liang was very happy in her heart, but she showed a sense of fear.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, but Ah gradually does not deserve this position, he is not a grandson or a long-term child, and he has nothing to show after marriage. When His Majesty figured out how to appoint other princes, I felt a lot more at ease. ”

Youheng knew Concubine Liang's little abacus. This son looks inconspicuous, but in fact he is more like himself than any other son. What he cared about was the identity of the princess.

The love of the founding emperor Youting in his life was the first palace master of the Snow Palace, Ya Ning, and even the coffin board was engraved with Ya Ning's favorite cherry blossom ornament, and ordered that every queen in the future should not be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Cangming stipulated that the emperor and queen were not allowed to sleep together after death, which was also the biggest punishment for the queen of the middle palace.

You can hold the phoenix seal in the middle palace for the rest of your life, but after death, you can only sleep alone.

Youheng also thought of this, so he doted on the queen and Youpu, and even married his wife for him early and accepted the side concubine. This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the queen.

This is also one of the reasons why he does not want Yupu to be the emperor.

Only by being an idle prince far away from Yudu can he not endanger the royal regime, and Youpu can live without worry.

As for the eldest son, Youcheng, he was originally a target for the eldest son, and it is normal for him to be pushed against in the future.

The next day, Youheng drafted a holy decree: Youpu, the third son of the emperor, has passed the year of establishment, and gives the fiefdom of Changshui County, the king of Yong'an, and the palace of Yong'an. Set off for Changshui County on a certain day, and you will not be able to return without an edict.

A holy decree, a few families rejoice and a few families are sad.

Empress Zhuo fainted as soon as she heard the holy decree in the palace, and Youpu over there received the holy decree tremblingly, and the whole person collapsed directly to the ground. The day before yesterday, he also checked the contents of the resignation letter, and there was absolutely nothing unfavorable to him. Youpu never thought that what he was waiting for would be his will to be crowned king by the emperor.

Changshui County is a border county, which can be said to be the size of a fingernail in the territory of Cangming.

The natural scenery of Changshui County is still okay, after all, it is inaccessible, and there are less than 10,000 households to live in.

"Your Majesty, what did Pu'er do wrong?" After Zhuo Shi woke up, he didn't care about any etiquette, his hair was messy, and he rushed into Youheng's imperial study in plain clothes. In the imperial study, several ministers were there. They covered their eyes with their sleeves, after all, as a foreign minister, they need to be afraid of the distance from the harem ladies at all times.

Youheng glanced at the people around him, and an older steward led the ministers out first.

"Look at what you look like! The current queen rushed in without even asking for peace!" Youheng knew that Zhuo's family had come to him to reason with the holy decree, but he still had to criticize where he should criticize.

"The concubine is just such a son, how can you bear to let our mother and son be separated by 108,000 miles. ”

Changshui County is a full 945 miles away from Yudu, the capital of the Cangming Emperor.

The first time Youheng saw Zhuo's crying and chirping, I felt pity.

He suddenly wanted to take back his fate - in fact, he could make a will and tell the world, why did he have to send the prince away so early...... Or you can arrange your own guards to protect his safety.

However, once the emperor's edict was issued, there was no reason to withdraw it.

Unless - the state perishes.

"Wanjin, you get up first. ”

Empress Zhuo, who was in tears, did not dare to disobey the Son of Heaven, and continued with a crying voice:

Your Majesty, it's okay for the concubine not to let Pu'er be the emperor, as long as he can be by my side and be a guard.

"Wanjin," Youheng said calmly to the queen, "it would be best to let Pu'er go to Changshui County. As long as his brother doesn't think he's a nuisance, then he won't do anything to him. Do you understand?"

Zhuo suddenly stopped sobbing. She actually understands the truth that Youheng said, but she can't accept this fact now. Her son, Cangming's eldest son, wants to be the king of Yong'an in Changshui County, which is very different from being the third son of the emperor in Yudu. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, all the subjects will still treat him as the eldest son, showing basic respect; As for the border counties, the people will only regard him as a prince of the world who has been degraded without learning and skills, not to mention respect, and he may not even give a good-looking face.

"Is there any other way?" She held back tears and did not let go of the last shred of hope.

Youheng shook his head, it is impossible to say that you don't need to go to Changshui County if you destroy Youpu, this is the next word to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Youheng underestimated Zhuo Xuan's nature of being a mother and being strong. In order to keep her son, she is willing to do anything.

Empress Zhuo heard that yesterday in Yicheng Palace, two men from other countries came. One said that it was Dugu Chengying, the warlord of the Xuan Kingdom, who was now imprisoned in the prison; The other said that it was a close friend of Youji, who went out of the palace with the maid of the princess yesterday, and seemed to have gone outside the Yudu City.

She didn't dare to break into the prison, but she didn't have to ignore the rules of the palace when she went outside the city to find someone.

"Go, get out of the palace. After Zhuo Wanjin came back from the imperial study in a dejected manner, he took a few female envoys to pack up some soft silver and clothes, bought off the guards on duty at night, took two good skills, and went straight to the suburbs in a carriage.

"Madame, where are you going?" The driver in front of her asked her.

"Find a woman named Red Kui. ”
