There is no news about Mu Shaoxuan's whereabouts, but the news of Longzhou in the southeast has been secretly reported to the Emperor Chu Imperial Case one after another.

On the second day after the Praetorian Guards surrounded Mufu, the upper reaches of Longzhou ushered in a heavy rainstorm, and it also rained heavily for three days and three nights in Longzhou.

When Xia Xingshen received these news, even Qingjun's face, which had always been calm and quiet, was slightly solemn.

He looked at the still blue sky in the capital, and muttered worriedly, "Longzhou is in danger." ”

Longzhou is in danger, and Mufu is also stormy.

But at this time, even if he suggested to Emperor Chu that it would be useless to let the local officials in Longzhou organize the people to withdraw from Longzhou City, and Emperor Chu agreed, God would not give them time to do this.

On the night of the third day of the heavy rain in Longzhou, the Longzhou embankment under construction, which had been secretly replaced by inferior materials with qualified materials, could not withstand the impact of the continuous and crazy rainstorms, and completely collapsed overnight.

Most of the streets and houses in Longzhou City were submerged and washed away, and the local people were killed and injured.

Behind the city of Longzhou is thousands of hectares of fertile land on lower ground, planted with rice that is about to mature and ready for a bumper harvest, and these fertile fields carry the heavy responsibility of most of the grain taxes in the southeast, and because of the collapse of the big dam, all hope has also been wiped out overnight.

When the news reached the capital, a series of problems caused by the collapse of the embankment had seriously affected the security of the whole place, and even the stability of the entire Southern Chu.

Grievances: Tax Epidemic...... All these social problems caused by them deeply annoyed Emperor Chu.

In addition to actively doing a good job in various measures to deal with and appease, holding a group of derelict officials in Longzhou accountable is also what Emperor Chu wants to do the most.

And among these officials, the most guilty is, of course, Mu Shaoxuan, who embezzled and embezzled the cost of building the embankment. If he hadn't done the moth, the dam wouldn't have been able to withstand even a heavy rainstorm.

Therefore, Emperor Chu wants to be held accountable, and Mufu is of course the first to bear the brunt of the knife.

"Someone, give me a message," Emperor Chu flicked his sleeves, frowned, and sat down after turning back to the Nanmu Imperial Case.

However, before he could announce the will of the Mufu to hold him accountable, he heard the high-pitched voice of the eunuch singing, "Your Majesty, I want to see His Royal Highness." ”

That son of a?

Emperor Chu pinched his eyebrows, and just wanted to say no. But I heard a soft sound outside the door, and a handsome figure walked in naturally against the bright sunlight outside the door.

Emperor Chu was immediately furious, and casually took the folds stacked on the case and threw them at the elegant figure, "Do you still have the law of respecting and humbling the king in your eyes?" ”

dared to break into the imperial study without his consent, and he really became an ornament as an emperor.

The figure was slightly deviated to the side, Chu Lige effortlessly avoided the twists and turns he thrown, glanced at the gloomy Emperor Chu behind the imperial case, and continued to slowly step forward for a few steps and stood straight before he said slowly, "If there is something in Your Majesty's eyes, there will naturally be it in the minister's heart." ”

The father is not the father, the son is not the son, isn't it made by him, the good emperor?

Chu Lige raised his head, and his cold and indifferent eyes did not hide his faint sarcasm.

Emperor Chu looked at him like this, and immediately felt that his heart was rushing to the top of his head.

"What are you doing here?" Even if he was so angry that he was going to die, Emperor Chu had to suppress the anger in his heart, because the one in front of him was not only his son, but also his only .......

If there were still doubts before, then now Emperor Chu is extremely sure that this lonely and indifferent son in front of him is definitely here to collect debts.

"The minister is here to remind His Majesty of something." Chu Lige sneered and faintly swept at him, and said lightly, "The parents of the body are good." ”

Emperor Chu's body was shocked, and his face, which was originally angry and slightly dark, immediately became colder and darker after hearing this.

The natural emanation of the imperial momentum became more and more profound, and the palace people standing on the side were trembling with horror by this momentum, but the brocade-clothed man standing proudly in front of the imperial case seemed to be unconscious, and he fearlessly raised his indifferent and cold eyes, looking directly at the Emperor Chu who was bursting with flames under his eyes.

"But Your Majesty must not know that Mu Xiaofeng is no lighter than hair and skin to his ministers."

Emperor Chu was shocked again, glared at his radiant face, and suddenly blurted out, "So, it's true that you jumped off the cliff for her?" ”

Chu Lige nodded lightly, and at this time, he didn't feel that this matter needed to be concealed at all, "Rong Chen reminds Your Majesty again, she lives, the minister lives!" ”

If she dies, he will die!

And it ......doesn't matter if he doesn't live or not, Chu Lige looked at the emperor who became more and more majestic after the imperial case with a smile, and he was afraid that some people were still very nostalgic for this red dust, and they were reluctant to die easily.

"Also," Chu Lige looked at the cold and translucent black face after the imperial case, and felt that his heart was slightly happy, "Mu Fu is like blood to her." ”

If a person loses his blood and bones, he naturally loses his life.

Emperor Chu squinted slightly and stared at his indifferent face, and said coldly, "You actually came to threaten me for her?" ”

Chu Lige looked at Emperor Chu's blue, red, yellow and green face that changed color, and suddenly felt extremely grateful to his mother for everything she had done for him in the past.

He nodded, directly met Emperor Chu's fierce and cold and furious gaze, still unfazed, and said lightly, "You are the emperor of a country high above, who dares to threaten you." The minister just came to remind you of the fact that it doesn't matter who you want to move, but she-the minister is determined. ”

I want to touch her, unless you don't want your own life first!

His tone was cold, and there was no trace of smug arrogance at all, but the more he was like this, the more Emperor Chu looked at him, the more he felt that his words were full of sarcasm.

Emperor Chu snorted and stared at him with a sneer, but he was silent.

What kind of emperor's wrath is completely useless in front of this kid, he might as well save some effort.

Mu Xiaofeng - The more protective this kid is, the more he wants to .......

"Finished?" After a long time, Emperor Chu swept over, "After speaking, hurry up and let me go." ”

"Your Majesty," Chu Lige's upright figure turned slightly to the side, facing Emperor Chu's cold flashing gaze, and said with a glance, "The minister will not roll ......." ”

"Unless Your Majesty makes himself a ball first!"

Admitting that you are a bastard can give birth to a son who will roll out like a ball.

Emperor Chu finally persuaded himself to calm down his anger, but he was provoked again by his gentle and clever words, and there was still a tendency to be out of control.

couldn't help but pick up the priceless teacup on the imperial case, smashed it at the handsome and long back, and squeezed out four words from between his teeth, "Bastard thing!" ”

Chu Lige didn't even pause in his footsteps, his figure flashed slightly, and he naturally avoided the tea cup, he walked out of the imperial study proudly, and the corners of his straight lips seemed to slightly outline a faint sarcastic arc.

I don't care if the man behind him, who is in charge of the life and death of countless people in Nanchu, will be so angry with him at this moment.

Looking at the white sunlight in front of me, a wonderful feeling suddenly surged in my heart.

I thought that this fate was so strange, and it was really gratifying to see that man who was so angry that he was helpless.

In the imperial study, the man who was so angry but helpless saw that his tea cup was dodged by him lightly, and he was suddenly even more angry.

couldn't help but hold his forehead and pinch his eyebrows, and he was so uncontrollable that he scolded loudly, "Son, son." ”

But after scolding for a few sentences, I inexplicably remembered the woman who had died more than ten years earlier.

The woman's son has completely inherited her beauty in appearance, but this eccentric arrogant and indifferent temperament is far from her.

In memory, she is so gentle, kind and generous, cute and straightforward, but also intelligent and enthusiastic.

He originally felt quite ashamed of her after doing those things, but before she died, she deliberately calculated him, but the little guilt in his heart was also consumed.

pinched his eyebrows, but still felt a terrible headache.

Emperor Chu simply stood up and walked outside the imperial study.

The sun was very strong outside, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, a eunuch immediately held an umbrella to shade him.

However, Emperor Chu had just walked into the sun, and the eunuch with an umbrella cover next to him suddenly fell to the ground with a "bang", then rolled his eyes, and then twitched briefly and then disappeared.

Seeing this, the eunuchs who accompanied him hurriedly came over to escort Emperor Chu away, and the sound of other palace people nervously cleaning up came from behind him.

Someone said, "Is there still breath?" ”

"No, no, no."

"What's going on? Isn't Mr. Lin's body healthy all the time? Why did you suddenly go like this without warning? ”

"Who knows, Xu suddenly bumped into something unclean......."

……

Emperor Chu's eyes were cold, and his pace immediately sped up a lot.

Two quarters of an hour later, Ruan Sijie, the Qin Heavenly Eunuch, was summoned by the emperor to the highest building in the palace, the Stargazing Tower.

Emperor Chu stood in front of the railing with his hands in the wind, looked at him quietly, and said in a deep voice, "Ruan Aiqing, come and see this celestial phenomenon, but what are the abnormal changes?" ”

The sudden death of his attendant in front of him without illness or illness really brought a great shock to his heart.

However, since Emperor Chu is the king of a country, no matter how much he feels panicked in his heart, he will not show the slightest bat on his face.

Ruan Sijie had just climbed up the stargazing tower, and his breath had not yet been even, when he suddenly said this. The heart immediately struck, and the heart of vigilance suddenly rose.

The corner of his eyes quietly glanced at Emperor Chu, and saw that Emperor Chu's face was as calm as water, cold and restrained as usual, with a strong domineering spirit.

I was worried for a while, although I still couldn't figure out what Emperor Chu's intention was in summoning him over for the time being.

However, since he mentioned observing the heavens and mentioning abnormal movements, he almost immediately secretly guessed that there must be something strange and inexplicable happening around Emperor Chu.

Whoever mixes in the officialdom, who doesn't have the ability to observe people's faces.

After a little groaning, Qin Tianjian Ruan Sijie had already figured out a little way.

"Obey." After he saluted respectfully, he stood up straight and looked serious, and looked up on the stargazing tower in front of Emperor Chu to observe the celestial phenomena.

To be able to achieve the position of Qin Tianjian, Ruan Sijie is certainly not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it. As the saying goes, no three-thirds dare to go to Liangshan.

If he doesn't have some real skills in his stomach, even if he can mix it for a while, he won't be able to mix it for long.

Emperor Chu looked at him silently and coldly, seeing that he would point to the sky and the earth for a while, frown and relax his forehead for a while, and have strange thoughts and words for a while.

It was as if I had suddenly hung a bucket in my heart, and I kept going up and down.

After a while, Ruan Sijie put away his mysterious posture, but frowned, and stood in front of Emperor Chu with a solemn face.

Lowering his head, he said slowly, "Your Majesty, there has really been an abnormal movement in the sky recently. ”

Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows, and the picture in his mind jumped to the inner servant who suddenly collapsed in front of him and lost his breath when he convulsed.

"What's going on?" Although Emperor Chu had three points in his heart that Qin Tianjian was catering to him, he remembered the chamberlain who suddenly fell to the ground and died, but he believed Ruan Sijie's words five points.

"Your Majesty, please look," Ruan Sijie looked up at the sky, pointing to one of the looming stars, "that is the crape myrtle star that represents the emperor star, Your Majesty is strong and healthy, and Nanchu is even more prosperous under Your Majesty's careful governance." It stands to reason that the crape myrtle star, which represents the emperor star, should be radiant. ”

Emperor Chu raised his head and looked in the direction he was pointing, rolled his eyes noncommittally, and did not speak.

Observing the heavens is Qin Tianjian's strong point, and it has nothing to do with the emperor of his country.

Ruan Sijie naturally didn't really want him to agree with him, but he was just pretending, so that he could show in front of Emperor Chu that he did have the ability to do so.

"But now, there is a strange phenomenon," Ruan Sijie frowned, hesitated slightly, and then said, "The light emitted by the crape myrtle star has dimmed, and it is gradually covered by a strange layer of red mist, and there is a danger of being swallowed. ”

"Weird red mist?" Emperor Chu's heart jumped, and his brows frowned even more, "The danger of being devoured? ”

Ruan Sijie immediately shivered under his extremely oppressive eyes, although he lowered his head, the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't be concealed.

Because, when he hung his head, those beads of sweat dripped to the ground like raindrops the size of beans.

Emperor Chu glanced at his trembling legs with a cold eye, and said coldly, "What can you say about this strange layer of red mist?" ”

The things that can devour the Emperor Star must not be small, and the ability will not be weak.

Although Emperor Chu asked this casually, in fact, only he knew it, and at this moment, he felt a little nervous in his heart for no reason.

Although he is still in the stage of his life, accidents don't happen just because you're healthy.

"Your Majesty," Qin Tianjian looked up at him, and immediately lowered his head quickly, and the head drooped lower and lower, and almost his entire face was hidden in the placket of his clothes before he would give up, "The minister can only temporarily see that there is a strange red mist on it close to Ziwei Star, trying to cover the light of the Emperor Star and devour the Emperor Star to replace it, but the specific situation will have to be determined after the minister's detailed observation at night." ”
