It was a sunny day, so clear that it felt like nothing unusual would happen on such a day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The ceremony was carried out on the grassland outside the royal court, the high platform color shed had already been set up, ten miles of red, the Wang army 10,000 shuttles patrolled around ten miles, the blue bird, the white deer and the fire fox three clans were in the center of the guard, there were dozens of cauldrons that could be used for bathing on all sides, the aroma of mutton was rolling, someone kept using a huge claw fence to scoop up the cooked meat, cut it into a big piece of meat with a murderous long knife, rolled in the spices and salt water, the big wooden plate was held, and the flowing water was sent to the nobles of the leaders of the various ethnic groups close to the high platform, the aroma of meat and wine was swept away by the unrestrained wind, smoked so that people can get drunk a few miles away.

People from near and far came in costumes, singing, dancing, playing and singing, and women dancing in flower skirts, like countless gorgeous flowers blooming in a deep green.

In the apse, Feng Zhiwei personally straightened the golden crown of Qibao for Helian Zheng, carefully looked at the man who was wearing a gold-trimmed black-edged robe, a jasper tie colorful waist knife, and a heroic man, and said with a smile: "It's much more decent than when I first saw you." ā€

"You'll find me better," Helian Zheng has never understood modesty, staring at Feng Zhiwei, who was wearing a black dress and a silver belt, and said, "Why don't you change your clothes?" ā€

"The royal court prepared a red robe for me, but I am still in filial piety." Feng Zhi pulled him out slightly, and said lightly, "And...... Maybe I don't necessarily need to change my clothes. ā€

Helian Zheng looked at her sideways and didn't speak, Mei Duo suddenly followed and said, "Aza, I'll follow you too!" As he spoke, he took his arm on the other side.

Helian Zheng pushed her away and stared at her red robe, which was the color of fire, a golden belt, decorated with agate and amber, which was very similar to the concubine's formal attire, Helian Zheng regretted that he couldn't see Feng Zhiwei's gorgeous appearance in the formal dress of the concubine of the grassland, and at this time, seeing Mei Duo wearing it like this, he immediately frowned.

"Aunt Mei Duo," he said, "you can go with my mother, but you can't wear this robe, so that no one will see it and misunderstand." ā€

"What's the misunderstanding?" Meadow looked dazed and ignorant.

People wish they misunderstood, Feng Zhiwei looked at it in his eyes, smiled, and his eyes swept over Mei Duo's hand that was tightly grasping Helian Zheng's belt.

"You know there's a misunderstanding." Helian Zheng showed no mercy and pulled her hand away.

"Concubine." Mei Duo turned around and grabbed Feng Zhiwei's belt, "This is the new clothes I made for the ceremony, I spent a month, do you want me to take it off now?" ā€

Feng Zhiwei looked at her with a pleading expression, thinking about her arrogance when she first saw her, she thought it was very funny, and couldn't help but smile.

When she smiled, something special appeared in her eyes, and Mei Duo looked into her eyes, and suddenly felt a shock in her heart, and her hand unconsciously let go.

Helian Zheng immediately took Feng Zhiwei and walked away, and Peony Hua'er caught up from behind, hugged Mei Duo's shoulders with a smile, and said, "Let's go, I have something good to tell you." ā€

A moment later, Feng Zhiwei, who was walking in front, heard Mei Duo scream, and his voice was full of unbelievable anger.

Feng Zhi smiled, made a gesture to Zong Chen beside him, and left quickly.

When he was about to step out of the last door, a team of small lamas came over quickly and stopped Feng Zhiwei.

"Dharmaalla said, please don't go to the ceremony."

"What?" Helian Zheng's face immediately sank.

"Dharmaalla said, if you really love the grassland, as you say, then do not affect the most solemn celebration of the king's life on this auspicious day, and cast a dark cloud over his future." The little lama saluted Feng Zhiwei, and then turned to Helian Zheng again, "Wang, Allah said that if she attended, he would not appear. ā€

"Then it won't show up." Helian Zheng did not hesitate, "I don't believe that without the enthronement ceremony of the Living Buddha's prayer, I will really be cursed!" ā€

"King!" The patriarchs who came to greet him exclaimed.

"The will of the gods needs the guidance of Dharmaala, and the birth of the king of the steppe cannot be separated from Father Allah!" The blue bear patriarch Hu Tejia half-knelt on the ground and looked at Helian Zheng's eyes earnestly, "This is not the dispute between the concubines that day, but I don't participate in the ceremony, Dama Allah has already made concessions, don't be willful anymore!" ā€

"King, without the ritual of the Living Buddha, it will not be recognized by the people!"

"The concubine can choose another day to stand again, no matter what, the enthronement ceremony is important!"

The sound of persuasion came with eagerness, and someone was secretly holding Feng Zhiwei's sleeve and signaling her to resign.

"Your living Buddha, insist that I don't appear at the ceremony." Feng Zhiwei finally opened his mouth, his tone calm, "You all heard it. ā€

Everyone nodded, a little confused about what she was emphasizing this.

"Then I'm not going." She said the next sentence lightly, turned and left, "Please protect the king." ā€

"Zhiwei-" Helian Zheng called out in a long voice, Feng Zhiwei had already turned his head and left, and on the opposite side, the honor guard of the Dharma Living Buddha walked all the way out of the courtyard.

Dama, who was sitting on the public opinion, looked even more decayed today, soft and collapsed there, the embroidered gold robe was floating empty, he lifted his eyelids and glanced at Feng Zhiwei, Feng Zhiwei smiled at him and made a lip shape.

Dama was stunned, and before he could figure out anything, Feng Zhiwei had already passed by.

==

The ceremony of the enthronement of the king of the grassland, not as cumbersome and polite as the Central Plains, the twelve armies lined up to show the military might, the twelve tribal chiefs offered gifts, and the Dharma put the crisp cheese in the golden basin on the forehead of the new king, in order to pray for the grassland to be abundant every year, and then put out some divine signs, and then everyone ate, drink, dance, and play, and held a grand riding and archery hunting activity, which was lively for three days and three nights, and it was over.

Helian Zheng came to slaughter the prestige of the Pixiu tribe, and there was the support of the two brave tribes of the Blue Bear and the Iron Leopard, which shocked the brothers in the tribe who were ambitious and coveted the throne and did not dare to act rashly, and all the public or private forces were guarded to the core.

The 12 armies are now only 11 divisions, lined up in a phalanx under the high post, each wearing gold, blue, white, red, blue, black, light gray, dark gray, yellow, moon white, green eleven color leather armor, described as strict and neat, the military power is like iron, holding a type of curved arc long knife, the tip of the knife is full of heavy black gold color, in the sun boundless spread out, together a fall, are dazzling into a sea of light churning, forcing people not to open their eyes.

Helian Zheng's golden-robed black horse, the silver fox flew and hunted, with a long laugh, he galloped down from the high post, and everywhere he passed, everyone knelt down with their palms to increase their foreheads.

The horse's hooves fly, splashing grass and scattering, Helian Zheng's horse galloped to which phalanx, the phalanx brazenly drew its sword to the sky, "click" in unison, eleven-colored knife light such as practice, layer by layer like waves, Helian Zheng is the only one who climbs the tide at the head of the waves, overlooking the tide, all the waves are under his feet.

The prairie boys were convinced, and the prairie daughters' eyes were shining.

After a circle of reading, the new king ascended the throne, and the red felt gold case was spread on the high platform, and the patriarchs presented their gifts in order of age.

It is just some special products of their respective territories, as a sign of the most precious things on which they depend for their survival to be offered to the new king.

Helian Zheng smiled gracefully and praised each patriarch, and the Dharma Living Buddha sat beside him, with a faint smile on his wrinkled old face.

The last to come up was the Firefox Patriarch Kree.

The young man, with a fiery red leather robe and a black fox fur, made his face more and more delicate with a different style of a prairie man, his slender eyes were smiling, and he held a piece of black gold carved into the shape of a flying eagle on a gold plate in his hand.

All the patriarchs are envious - there is a small black gold mine in the territory of the firefox, so in addition to the golden lion of the twelve, the firefox is the richest.

"With the treasure on which our people depend, I dedicate it to the honorable king." Graceful and courteous, Kree held Ugin high above his head.

Helian Zheng stared at him, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and said, "Brother Kereh doesn't need to be polite, you are the youngest patriarch of my Huzhuo Tribe, and my brother will rely on you more in the future." ā€

"I am willing to drive for the king." Kree laughed and retreated.

Someone offered a golden basin filled with white crisp cheese, and the living Buddha of Dharma stood up tremblingly.

Helian Zheng turned his head and smiled at the slave girl next to him: "Don't go and support Damala-"

He didn't finish a word, his face suddenly changed, and then everyone saw a residual blue between his eyebrows, and in the exclamation, Helian Zheng shook and suddenly fell!

There was an uproar, and the patriarchs rushed forward, and the Dharma Living Buddha was shocked and almost knocked down the golden basin.

"King! King! The blue bear patriarch and others gathered around Helian Zheng and called out repeatedly, and some people rushed into the royal court without touching their feet and dragged out the medical officer and the witch doctor, these people were sweating profusely and squeezed in, hurriedly checking the pulse, helping the horse, divination, divination, and jumping god, busy with a black smoke and miasma, but he couldn't say anything about Helian Zheng's situation at all, and after a long time under the anxious urging of the patriarchs, the royal court doctor stammered: "The king seems to be ...... It doesn't seem to be a ......."

"What's going on?" Everyone asked urgently, and the patriarchs of the two clans of the Blue Bird and White Deer immediately glanced at each other, rearranged the Wang Jun guards, and made a flood around the high platform, blocking all the nobles who came to listen to the news.

"I'll see, I'll see-" The Dharma Living Buddha was panting and approached, everyone hurriedly got out of the way, the old horn looked carefully at Helian Zheng's miserable face, and took his pulse in disbelief, closed his eyes for a long time and sighed.

"My child...... My child......" the old lama burst into tears, "you shouldn't have gone like this, how could this be?" Could it be that ominous clouds have fallen over your head so early? ā€

When the patriarchs said this, they looked at each other, and couldn't help but think of Helian Zheng's disobedience to God's will two days ago, and brazenly sentenced themselves to flogging, and some people hesitated and said: "Could it be that the gods blame ......?"

"What gods to blame!" Someone squeezed in and said loudly, "Look at the king's face, it seems to be poisoned, it is clear that someone has poisoned him, look who has approached the king today!" ā€

The one who spoke was Kree.

"My son-" Peony Hua'er ran up from the table below with Ba Biao, kicked and kicked people away all the way, jumped up and hugged Helian Zheng and cried, "What's wrong with you, you're okay this morning......"

"Concubine." The day before yesterday, Gade, who was beaten by Chun Yu so hard that his face was bruised and swollen, squeezed in, rolled over Helian Zheng's eyelids, and said worriedly: "Don't cry in a hurry, I heard that there will be an antidote to the poisoners in the Central Plains, so it's better to find out the person who poisoned the person first, and it is important to save the king." ā€

"Who can the king meet this morning?" Although the nobles of the Inerji clan below were immediately stopped by Wang Jun under the stage, they could see what had happened just now clearly, and immediately someone straightened their necks and shouted: "He came out of the royal court directly, isn't he the person who lives together!" ā€

As soon as this sentence came out, there was a moment of silence, and then it exploded like a hot oil pan splashing cold water with a bang.

"Who else can there be around the king? Three days before and after the establishment of the concubine, the concubine slept! ā€

"Who will accompany the king when he comes out of the apse this morning?"

"Concubine!"

"Slave girls are also waiting!"

"Slave girls can't get close to the king!"

"First of all, call all the slave girls who have waited for the king this morning!" Gad took it upon himself to take command and "torture him severely." ā€

The frightened slave girls were dragged over, huddled on the ground and trembling one by one.

"Immortal Heaven is above, the king's clothes this morning were arranged by the concubine herself."

"Breakfast was served by the slave maid, but at that time, everyone ate it one by one, and the concubine also cut a piece of meat for the king herself......"

"When we came out, the king didn't ask us to go with us, we went with the concubine, and the slaves and maids didn't know anything......"

After finishing talking one by one, they all searched their bodies, and the stage was quiet for a while, Keri was silent, there was a smile in the corner of Gade's eyes, and he didn't speak, the patriarch of the blue bird and white deer ignored it, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Peony, look ......"

Liu Peony sat dumbfounded, looking heartbroken and completely out of idea, wiped a handful of snot, rubbed it on Kelie beside him, and said angrily: "...... Uncles, call the shots, my wife has no idea. ā€

"Impossible!" Ba Biao shook his head one after another, "How can the concubine harm the king?" Don't wronged people. ā€

"If you are wronged or not, you have to inquire first, since the concubine is innocent, she should not mind us and others offending." Kree replied calmly.

"Someone." The Blue Bird Patriarch nodded and said, "Concubine, please!" ā€

said that it was "please", but the Bailu patriarch ordered a full thousand royal troops, and everyone raised their necks to watch the royal army with distinct swords and armor passing by, and the meaning in their eyes was complicated.

There are fears that the king's enthronement celebration has finally gone into trouble again, and that new bloodshed may break out in the grassland; There is a joy that the king's celebration has really changed, and the more chaotic the better, you might as well fish in troubled waters.

The blue bird, the white deer, the blue bear, and the iron leopard are gathering the royal army, and the heads of each family are quietly calling their guards, and Gade doesn't know when, he has already withdrawn from the crowd.

The Dharma Living Buddha has been in a bit of a trance today, sitting beside Helian Zheng and meditating.

Wang Jun lined up and ran neatly to the second palace of Potala not far away, and people stopped singing and dancing and looked around.

"No need to please, I'm here."

The female voice was faint, and it didn't seem to be high, but everyone could hear it clearly, and everyone on the stage changed color in unison.

The crowd parted in a line, and someone walked slowly.

Tall and thin woman, the black skirt is tight, the skirt is rolling with wide silver edges, there is a kind of solemnity in the plain, and the surrounding gorgeous contrast, do not feel monotonous but feel noble and refreshing, walking posture, such as clothes with the wind on the water, in the sun, in the green field, fluttering.

The crowd looked at such a temperament, and in a trance, they ignored the yellow face and lowered their eyebrows, and unconsciously held their breath and let go.

Feng Zhiwei arrived.

The patriarchs on the stage watched her come with a graceful demeanor, and they all had a trace of regret in their expressions, such a woman should be an outstanding concubine who has no one on the grassland, but it's a pity......

"The she-wolf who came to the steppe!" Someone in the silent crowd suddenly cried out through gritted teeth, "What Dharmaalla said is not bad at all, you have an incurable poison in every tip of your hair!" ā€

"Dharmaalla has long said that you are the king's doom and trap, but the hateful king was bewitched by your ugly girl and insisted on going his own way!"

"Get out of the grassland, what Huzhuo needs is peace and calm, and it doesn't need the blood and war you brought!"

Damma's prophecy, everyone present that day knew that Helian Zheng sentenced himself to flogging for the concubine's disobedience to the Living Buddha, and everyone saw it with their own eyes.

Some people raised their hands and smashed out the remaining sheep bones in their hands, and more people were reminded and smashed out the things in their hands.

Gu Nanyi, who was following behind Feng Zhiwei, raised his hand and swiped lightly.

All the things that smashed over seemed to have met a transparent wall, and they all landed three feet away from Feng Zhiwei's side, when did the people of Huzhuo have seen this kind of magical martial arts, they all stared at the local area with wide eyes, and almost shouted: "Ghost-"

"Don't mess around." In the silence, Feng Zhi tilted his head slightly, and smiled smartly, "Be careful, I'll tell you to eat everything you smash out." ā€

Her tone was light, but when her eyes flickered, everyone thought it was not a joke, and they all retreated in an instant.

"Concubine, you're good to come." The patriarchs of the two clans of the Blue Bird and White Deer were a little embarrassed to greet him, "The king has an accident......

For these two loyal patriarchs, Feng Zhiwei has always maintained a little respect, bowed slightly, stepped forward quickly to look at Helian Zheng, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?" ā€

"What's going on?" Someone immediately sneered, "You have to ask the concubine yourself." ā€

"Oh?"

"Pretend to be stupid!" Helian Zheng's distant cousin raised his neck and shouted, "The king has been with you this morning, and then he was poisoned, you she-wolf who came to the grassland, can't wait to attack our king, and still don't come up with an antidote?" ā€

"Why should I do it to the king?" Feng Zhi smiled slightly, "What's the benefit to me if he dies?" ā€

The man was suffocated, and everyone fell silent, feeling that this sentence was right to the point, the king is here, the concubine is the concubine, kill the king, what is the concubine?

Kree smiled suddenly.

"Concubine." He said leisurely, "It is said that I should not be in charge of the affairs of Inji, but the affairs of the king, that is, the affairs of the grassland, no one can shirk their responsibility." ā€

Feng Zhiwei turned to look at him with a smile, and Kree raised his eyes.

The two looked at each other, each flashing, and neither gave in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, not long ago, our firefox soldiers stationed at the border of the grassland intercepted a letter." Kelie took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "The letter was written by the concubine to the Yuzhou grain road in charge of the food supply of the royal army, the letter said-" He dragged out his tone and said slowly, "There will be changes in the grassland recently, some of the military rations are not needed for the time being, they will be kept by the Yuzhou grain depot, and the concubine's escort will come to receive them." I would like to ask the eldest concubine, what is the change in your letter? Why is there a sudden need for grain from Yuzhou? Why did your escort go to receive the rations of my Prairie King's army? ā€

There was a commotion on and off the stage, this matter is that the patriarchs don't know, they all stared at the letter in disbelief, Kelie with an elegant smile, passed the letter to everyone, the grassland nobles are all Chinese, although they don't recognize Feng Zhiwei's handwriting, but the handwriting is clear, the letterhead paper is produced in the Central Plains, and it is also marked with the "Holy Ying", on this grassland, except for Feng Zhiwei, there is no second person with these.

As soon as Kereh waved his hand, a man was tied up below, dressed in the costume of a wedding escort, kneeling down with a frightened face.

"This is the messenger who delivered the documents to the concubine that Wang Jun captured near the border of Yuzhou." "His sneaky expression at the time aroused the suspicion of my subordinates, and this is how the letter was found. ā€

"Concubine!" The man frequently kowtowed to Feng Zhi, looking remorseful, "My subordinates are not doing things well!" Please! ā€

Feng Zhi looked at it with a slight sneer, not moving at all, Kelie gently held the letter in his hand, his slender golden eyes glanced at her, and his smile was cold, "Concubine, can I guess that the only younger brother of this generation of kings is still in infancy, and the first child is still in Nata's belly, and the royal family is not in charge, do you want to follow the example of the Queen Mother Peony, pick up the burden of our grassland royal court after the death of the king, monopolize the power, and then at the right time, dedicate the entire Huzhuo Department to the imperial court?" ā€
