Chapter 320: Revisiting the Emperor's Harem
Half a month later, Zhao Fei finally came to Yanshan with Diao.
"Big brother, Yanshan is really majestic, no worse than Qinghuang Mountain. Seeing Yanshan Diao was surprised.
"This is the periphery of Yanshan, I will take you inside, you will be even more amazed. Zhao Fei said with a smile.
It took another day before they walked into the hinterland of Yanshan. Since Yanshan is located in an extremely cold zone, the winters here are extremely cold.
"Stop coming. Zhao Fei was walking into the mountains with Ah Diao, and suddenly there was a voice in front of him.
"What if I don't stop?"
"If you don't stop, it's your life. ”
"Huh. My life is here, if you have the ability, you can come and get it. ”
"Hahahaha. Don't you dare?" As soon as the man's voice fell, he immediately rushed out of the mountains and forests and attacked Zhao Fei directly.
"Papapapa"
He and Zhao Fei exchanged a few palms, and then quickly retreated.
"Boy, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I can't take advantage of it. "It turned out to be a native of Yuyang Mountain.
"Haha. Senior, haven't you heard that sentence, Shibei should be impressed for three days. Besides, we have been separated for more than three days, and you can't underestimate me anymore. Zhao Fei said with a laugh.
"Senior, do you know I'm coming, and I'm here to pick me up?"
"You kid thinks beautifully, you are not qualified for my old man to come to greet me. I went to Yanbei to do some errands, and I just happened to meet you when I came back. Yuyang Shanren said with a smile.
"The emperor is in the palace, right?"
"Hmm. She's in the palace, and she'll be happy if she knows you're coming. Boy, what good things are there to honor and honor me?" Yuyang Mountain people stretched out their hands, waiting for Zhao Fei's gift.
"Of course I won't come empty-handed, I'll give you a gadget first, and I'll talk about the rest. Zhao Fei took out a divine pill and put it in the hands of the people of Yuyang Mountain.
The people of Yuyang Mountain took the pill, threw it directly into their mouths and swallowed it immediately, followed by surprise and shock.
"Boy, you're so arrogant. Such a precious elixir is a gadget in your mouth?" said the Yuyang Mountain man, whose cultivation had skyrocketed, with a wry smile.
"It doesn't help me in any way, it's not a gadget, what is it?" Zhao Fei's words made the people of Yuyang Mountain speechless.
"This is Ah Diao, right? I heard the emperor mention you. The people of Yuyang Mountain looked at Ah Diao and asked with a smile.
"Junior Diao, I've seen my seniors. Ah Diao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Excuse me, you come with me, go to the Imperial Palace first, and when the weather is cold, we will have a few drinks first. Zhao Fei and Ah Diao followed the Yuyang Mountain people and hurried to the Emperor's Harem.
"Go to my place to warm up for a while, drink a glass of wine to quench your cravings, and then go back to see the emperor and queen. The people of Yuyang Mountain directly took Zhao Fei to the place where they lived.
"This is an eight-year-old wine, and I usually don't want to drink it, but today is when you come, so I'm willing to take it out and drink it. The people of Yuyang Mountain were nagging while pouring wine for Zhao Fei.
"Okay, I'll bring you more wine in the future, see how stingy you look. Zhao Fei and the people of Yuyang Mountain began to drink.
"The Empress came back and told me about your demeanor, boy, we really didn't misunderstand you. The people of Yuyang Mountain praised Zhao Fei while drinking wine.
"I have already sent someone to inform the Empress and tell her the news of your arrival. Now it's getting late, and if there is no special urgency, then go to see the emperor tomorrow morning, and if you let go of the drink tonight, I have wine. This night, Zhao Fei drank a lot of wine with the people of Yuyang Mountain, and they chatted very happily.
After breakfast the next morning, Zhao Fei and the others followed the Yuyang mountain people to the emperor's harem to meet the emperor.
"Zhao Fei greeted the emperor and queen. ”
"Ah Diao visited the emperor. ”
Zhao Fei and Ah Diao saluted immediately after seeing the emperor.
"No, no need to be polite. I was glad to know that you came last night, and I couldn't bear to disturb your drinking, so I didn't let you come. ”
"Thank you for the emperor's understanding, it's the kid Meng Lang. ”
"It's okay, don't all men love this mouthful. The emperor smiled and smiled.
"Yuyang, you take Ah Diao out for a casual walk, take a look at the emperor's harem, Zhao Fei and I have something to say. ”
"Yes, Emperor. The people of Yuyang Mountain knew that the emperor had something to say that he didn't want others to know, so he walked out with Ah Diao.
"It's all refined, when you came to Yanshan, you actually bought Yuyang first. The emperor laughed.
"It's all refined, I gave one to Yuyang's seniors yesterday, and there are still twenty pills here for the emperor and your old man. If that's not enough, I can squeeze a few more out of here. After Zhao Fei finished speaking, he immediately took out twenty divine pills and twenty yang pills and handed them to the emperor.
"If it weren't for the invasion of Beichen Kingdom, I wouldn't need a few. Now that the war ahead is tense, Yanshan is the only way to enter the hinterland, and I have to prepare for the worst. I took these pills, thank you. The emperor took the pill and said politely.
"Emperor, do we still need to be polite to each other? This is what the younger generation should do. It's just that because it's too little, I'm afraid that it won't be enough, and I hope the emperor won't be too little. ”
"Huh. It's enough, there aren't too many people in our imperial harem, and not everyone can take it. Some people have no problem waiting another ten years. The emperor said with a smile.
"Xue Jiao, are they all okay?"
"The blessing of the emperor, Xuejiao and the children are all good. Su Xin and Su Yu also had children, and they both gave birth to a son. ”
"That's great, they didn't make a mistake. At that time, I almost ruined their happiness with a single thought. The emperor sighed.
"The emperor asked me to bring a message to the emperor, and he greeted your old man. ”
"Well, I haven't seen him again after all these years. Even the Yang family almost never saw each other again, and it was sad to think about it. The Empress sighed.
"Break the bones and connect the tendons, after all, they are your closest people, so let's go back and see if you have time in the future. Zhao Fei persuaded him.
"Look, when I'm in a good mood, I'll probably go back and have a look. ”
"The Great Liang Kingdom is attacking fiercely, the emperor has decided to drive the expedition in person, he should be on his way recently, what advice does the emperor have? I will definitely bring it when I go back." ”
"He's smart and full of wisdom. Fighting on behalf of soldiers is not my strong point, and I can't give him advice and opinions on these, he has his own opinions and measure. The Empress shook her head.
"The emperor, there are a few things that the younger generation doesn't understand, and I ask the emperor to solve my doubts. ”
"Oh. What do you don't understand? As long as I know, I'll tell you. ”
"The emperor, the four hidden families of Zhou, Wu and Zheng, what is going on with them?"
"Who told you about the affairs of the four hidden families, is it Qingfeng?" the emperor hurriedly asked.
"No, it was the emperor who told me, because I was at war with the Wan family, and the emperor mentioned the four hidden families, and he asked me to ask you about the old man. Zhao Fei said truthfully.
"Alas, I really don't want to mention it, but now I have to mention it. If the Blue Wolf Empire is now suffering from internal and external troubles, then the external troubles are the Great Liang Kingdom and the Beichen Kingdom. If the internal worries are not the Qilin Gang and the Yinshan Gate, but these four hidden families. The empress sighed, Zhao Fei didn't continue to ask, he knew that the empress would continue.
"Very few people in the world know about the four hidden families, because they have been in seclusion for sixty years after all. Sixty years ago, they were the four most powerful families in the Blue Wolf Empire. Not only are they rich enough to rival the country, but each of them is like a cloud. Their existence is a deep threat to the imperial power. At that time, the emperor was my eldest brother, and my eldest brother had been suppressing them all the time. finally
One day the contradictions broke out, and they openly provoked the imperial power. The emperor said this and took a sip of water.
"One day they joined forces to force my eldest brother to abdicate or else start a war. In the end, they agreed with my eldest brother to fight a battle, and if my eldest brother was defeated, he would abdicate, and if they were defeated, he would go into hiding, and he would not be born for sixty years. ”
"They should have been defeated, right?" Zhao Fei couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, they lost that battle. On our side, there are the five elders you are talking about now, as well as my eldest brother and the three top masters in the palace. We won, but we also paid a terrible price. The emperor said this, with a pained expression on her face.
"What's the matter, Emperor. You're all right?" Zhao Fei asked eagerly.
"It's okay, I'll keep telling you. The four great families were forced into seclusion, and my eldest brother was seriously wounded in that battle, to the core, and died within two years. The three masters were also injured to varying degrees, and two of them died a few years later. The other man later left the palace and was never seen again. My sixth brother was also injured in that battle, but fortunately they recovered. ”
"I see, it seems that they are very strong. Zhao Fei said softly.
"How powerful are they? You know, we fought them almost with the whole country. And it paid a terrible price, which is terrifying to think about. The emperor looked pained.
"But they were also injured, and they haven't come out since they went into hiding. This year is the 60th year of the covenant, I don't know if they will be born, as long as they are born, it will definitely set off a bloody storm. The queen muttered.
"The emperor, the relationship between the Wan family and them is complicated?" Zhao Fei continued to ask.
"It's not just Wanjia who has a complicated relationship with them, there should be many people. Maybe some families and important ministers are the foreshadowing they left back then, no one can say this, only they know it. ”
"We have been cut off from their seclusion for all these years, they are not allowed to come out, and we cannot go in, so we don't know anything about them. But one thing is certain, they will only be stronger than they were back then, not weaker. ”
"I see, no wonder Grandpa didn't even mention it to me. ”
"Because it's useless to tell you, and you can't help, because your strength is not enough, and it's a lot worse. "The emperor is just talking about things, and what she said is also the truth.
"At this juncture when there is a war, if something happens to them, there will be civil strife. And after that battle, our top masters consumed too much and never grew up, which is what everyone is most worried about. ”
"We are now masters like clouds, emperors, Cai Bin seniors, Yuyang seniors, etc., we are not many masters in the Heavenly Realm. Zhao Fei said like a few treasures.
"Cut, they're not enough to see. Often a war is decided not by the number of people, but by the number of people. A few of them were still far from Qingfeng, and those people were on par with Qingfeng's cultivation back then, and I was not qualified to participate. The emperor's words shocked Zhao Fei, they were so strong?
"Over the years, we have not dared to slack off, and we have also closely monitored them. I also found out some people who had something to do with them through clues, but these people have always been very responsible, and we didn't touch them. ”
"The emperor, the Wan family is one of them, are there any other families?"
"Yes, but we can't touch them now, because those four are not born now, and we won't stimulate them. I was in charge of monitoring the Zheng family back then, and the Zheng family was in the north of Yanbei, close to Beichen Kingdom. ”
"I see, I said, how could the emperor be here. Zhao Fei suddenly realized.
"Huh. You don't understand, it's not as simple as you think, there are so many things involved here, it's not time to tell you now, and you will gradually understand it later. "The emperor's words are very vague, as if there are still many secrets that cannot be told to Zhao Fei.
