Chapter 379: The Mystery of the Snowball (2)

When Lao Xiu said this, the expression on his face showed a trace of unbearability, the battle described in the book was a hundred times more tragic than what he said.

"The Holy Maiden did not expect the situation to come to such a situation, and the three years of war had exhausted the treasury of the southern kingdom, and the other countries had also suffered heavy losses from the war. The Holy Maiden finally quelled the war with death and sealing the divine beast, and the countries returned to calm and returned to their respective countries to recuperate. Due to this battle, the national strength of the southern country is declining day by day, and until now, there has never been the grand occasion of the year. Over the years, the people of the Nanban Elder's House have been guarding the temple day and night, guarding this cub, just to prevent it from growing up. Once it grows up, it will become the most terrible weapon in the world, and whoever can control it will own the world. And the world will once again set off a bloody storm because of this prophecy. ”

After speaking, Lao Xiu's eyes were suddenly stained with a layer of worry. "Shen Yatou brought this cub out at this time, I don't know if it's good or bad. Now it has fallen into dormancy for no reason, and the old man doesn't know what the reason is, the reason why he said this just now is because of the lack of aura, just to appease Shen Yatou. If you want to go to Lujia Village to solve the gold mine this time, it is better to take Shen Yatou to Lujia Village and return the snowball to the Nanban Elders' House by the way. It's better to be in their care. ”

Zhao Jin didn't say anything. What Lao Xiu said was completely beyond his cognition. He couldn't believe that an animal could command a hundred beasts.

Now, he is a little worried about Shen Ya, she has always regarded the snowball as a pet, many people have seen the snowball, will there be anyone who knows it, and is greedy. In this way, Shen Ya's situation is very dangerous.

Seeing that Zhao Jin was speechless for a long time, Lao Xiu thought that he was also greedy because of the huge power of the divine beast, and his eyes immediately became stern. shouted: "What, even you want to use Shen Yatou to control that divine beast?" Zhao Jin, you remember, as soon as the divine beast appears, the world will be in chaos, and the situation at that time is not something you want to control. Just control it! ”

Lao Xiu said this very strictly, Zhao Jin had never seen Lao Xiu look like this.

"Master, don't worry. She is my Zhao Jin's wife for life, and I won't let her fall into this situation. I'm just thinking about it, Shen Ya has always carried snowballs with her as a pet before, and many people must have seen them. Will it attract the covetousness of others? Danger to her. ”

Lao Xiu heard him say this, and then he was relieved. He knows what Xiao Qizi is like, and he will never use Shen Yatou for the emperor's throne, but the temptation of the divine beast is too great, and even he is not sure if the young Zhao Jin can resist this temptation.

Just as hundreds of years ago. That battle, if it weren't for the Nanban Holy Maiden. I don't know what kind of mess I want to be messed up with by that group of young and vigorous stinky boys in this world.

"Little is known about this incident, except for a few big families that have been around for a hundred years. Including the Zhao family, who later conquered the world, I am afraid that I don't know much. And the only people in Nanban who knew about this rumor were the emperors of the past dynasties. As for the House of Elders, it has been strictly following the rules for hundreds of years and does not dare to reveal anything. Besides, what Shen Yatou had in her hands was only a cub, and no one knew how the saint made this cub grow up back then. After all, Shen Yatou is not a person in the temple, and she should not have the conditions to let the divine beast grow, otherwise the cub has been by her side for so long, and she will not grow up at all, but will fall into a dormant state. So you don't have to worry too much. ”

Zhao Jin was slightly relieved when he heard what his master said.

"The divine beast has been under the care of the elders of the Nanban Temple for more than a hundred years, but now it escaped and was picked up by Shen Yatou, and followed Shen Yatou to the capital, and I don't know if it is a good fate or a bad fate." Lao Xiu shook his head and sighed, always feeling that Shen Yatou picked up a snowball, it was not accidental. He has lived to this age, and many things have been looked down on, and he has seen clearly, and some things, he has to admit, are all destined.

After being silent for a moment, Lao Xiu suddenly said: "I'm afraid that the world will not be peaceful soon." ”

The recent situation in the capital, even he, who has just come back, can feel that it is not ordinary, Xiao Qizi is calm and calm on the surface, but it can be seen that he is more anxious than before.

"You have to plan for the gold mine as soon as possible, so as not to be robbed of the opportunity."

Zhao Jin didn't say anything, and said after a while: "Old General Zhao's side, I'm afraid, he has always been loyal to his father." ”

When Lao Xiu heard this, his eyes sank: "Your father, I didn't expect that the real old fox turned out to be him, which surprised me." ”

Zhao Jin didn't expect it. However, in recent times, he has become more and more suspicious that the battle between the eldest prince and the third prince has long been known to his father, and the person behind the scenes is likely to be him.

What exactly is his purpose?

Zhao Jin suddenly felt that he didn't know his father at all, or rather, he never understood.

In his impression, his father was not a good emperor. For the sake of a woman, he became violent, disregarded the government in vain, and killed the important ministers of the court. It made the entire court panic, and no one dared to tell the truth. What is even more unacceptable is that he is bent on seeking enlightenment, completely ignoring the life and death of the country, if it were not for his grandmother's persuasion and death, this country would have been invaded by foreign enemies and fell apart twenty years ago.

Although in recent years, he has begun to restrain his temperament and no longer bring up family matters, but he has favored Ruan Guifei alone, causing Ruan's relatives to become larger and larger, and many virtuous ministers have been mutilated, even his mother and concubine

At first, Zhao Jin thought that his father was so mediocre that he would favor the Ruan family and let his relatives dominate, but recently through the investigation of his secret guard, he found that the truth did not seem to be what he thought.

So why did my father do this? Why did he support the Ruan family, didn't he want his eldest brother to inherit the throne?

A long time ago, he always thought that his eldest brother, the eldest son of the queen mother, and the eldest prince would definitely inherit the throne in the future, so he never thought about the throne.

But more than a year ago, he suddenly discovered that his father did not want the eldest prince to inherit the throne. Similarly, he didn't want the third brother to succeed to the throne. The eldest brother and the third brother fought to the death to win the throne, but the father knew it but turned a blind eye.

Although the forces of both sides are checked and balanced by each other, they also disturb the peace of the court, and the courtiers are not interested in state affairs, and suppress their opponents for their own interests, how can they think about the people.

Not only the eldest prince and the third prince, but also the other princes in the court, who have some power, are either overtly or covertly wooing courtiers or eager to stand in line.

He originally just wanted to be an idle prince, but who would have expected that after returning from a victory, he became a thorn in the side of several princes in Beijing, and coupled with the favor of the queen mother back then, he became the object of those people who wanted to deal with it quickly.

His assassination on the cliff that day made him deeply understand a truth, even if you have no ambition, as long as you are still a prince, it is impossible to be alone in this whirlpool of power.

So from the day Su Wen fell off the cliff to save himself, he recognized the reality and began to continue to cultivate his strength in secret. He kept saying to himself every day, you must be stronger, you must be strong, so that you can protect the people you want to protect from harm.

However, he was still useless and failed to protect his mother.

Fortunately, he met Shen Ya.

The one who saved him and his own mother.

Zhao Jin is a person who is not good at expression, and he has been closing his heart since Su Wen fell off the cliff and his whereabouts are unknown. Even if it's an old cultivator, sometimes he can't fully see him.

He is used to being lonely, and he has already seen this cold world clearly, recognized his own situation, and when he is alone, he often thinks that it would be better if he was not a prince, if he was in an ordinary civilian family, even if he was poor, at least the family could stay together often, without so much deceit, and life was not so tiring.

He knew that this qiē was nothing but a vain.

thought that this might be the end of his life. But suddenly one day, he met such a girl, willful and cunning, bad like a little fox, kind, no woman can compare.

She often has the ability to make him half angry, but he has nothing to do with her. Every time I wanted to pretend to be strict, I quickly broke the gong in front of her. In the face of her, he didn't even feel like himself anymore.

But such a woman often makes him feel at ease, making him feel that his life should not only be cold, he needs warmth, and longs for warmth. With such a woman by his side, at least his life is no longer gloomy, but full of life.

Even Shigego felt the change in him. Ruan Hua would often joke with him that he actually laughed.

Yes, he's human, how can he not laugh? It's just that years of military career and the hatred in his heart have made him forget what laughter is and why laughing?

Now that he has Shen Ya, he feels that his life is alive, and his heart unconsciously gets closer to her, a little closer, and a little closer.

Now that he has a skin-to-skin relationship with her, he begins to become more greedy and wants to see her every day. A heart, in love, is pampered and hot.

He didn't let Shen Ya know this, he had been suppressing his desire for her, just because he was afraid that his too hot feelings would scare away the timid little woman.

It's ridiculous that this little woman actually eats vegetarian vinegar, and vegetarian is a thing of the past for him. Back then, she sacrificed her life to save her, and today he will promise her peace and happiness for the rest of her life.

It's just that in his heart, he can't tolerate other women except Shen Ya.

It's not that Su Wen is being used now, it's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he can only pretend not to know until he knows what the enemy's purpose is.

Seeing that Shen Ya was angry and jealous because of what Su asked, he actually had a faint joy. Because Zhao Jin knew that Shen Ya cared about him.

Just care about him. (To be continued.) )
