?

At this time, there was still some time before noon, and the officials who carried out the execution had not yet arrived, but the people who watched the excitement gathered in circles and circles.

Tianlan and Xuanyuan Luoyu sat in the private room drinking tea, and from time to time they could hear the sound of discussion coming from the inn:

"This Guo Haoze is really not a thing, he actually collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, I heard that this person specially 'door' sold our Qiyang's intelligence to Qinglong, causing us to lose again and again in the war a few years ago, with countless casualties!"

"Not only that, but I also heard that this 'private' surnamed Guo used his power to facilitate Qinglong's actions, and 'Yin' plotted to frame important ministers, and our Luoyu County Lord was almost killed by him, if it weren't for the Nine Princes' cleverness, these thieves wouldn't know how long they would be 'chaotic'!"

"Yes, the lord of Luoyu County is kind-hearted, and he pleads for such a wicked person, alas, if I am absolutely going to sue him three times!"

"'Traitor' minister, fortunately, he found it in time, killed it well, and was very happy!"

"I really hope that the Ninth Prince can find out a few more 'traitor' ministers, it's not too many people to kill!"

Xuanyuan Luo Yu listened to the noisy discussion outside, and was in a trance, Guo Haoze is obviously a generation of loyal ministers, even if his 'sex' personality is stubborn, it is also loyal to the country, why should he be sentenced to death, why was he framed to death, why was the person who gave the order his favorite father, why didn't even His Majesty save him.

The most incomprehensible thing is why he was framed tragically, and he couldn't even save his reputation after his death, he was obviously a loyal minister, but he was framed for treason, and was spurned by the people as a 'traitor' minister, compared to being framed, this is what Guo Haoze can't bear even more.

Tianlan was afraid that she would be 'provoked' by the thorn and collapse, so she said: "County Lord, what do you think is called a 'minister'!"

Xuanyuan Luo Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Minister...... The minister is the king, loyal to the king, for the country and the people, do their best, and die!"

Tianlan put down the teacup and said, "Since you are a minister, why are you loyal and 'traitor'!"

She said abruptly: "Why not, deviate from the way of being a minister, only know pleasure, loot the people's fat and ointment, flattery, deceive from the top and bottom, it is disloyal!"

Tianlan smiled: "Even if this kind of person is despised by you, but in fact, this kind of person occupies the vast majority, officialdom is a place where no one can be white, sometimes, in order to protect themselves, self-defilement, it is a last resort!"

She nodded, shook her head again, and said, "I didn't become an official after all, I don't know why!"

"You don't understand, so you feel sorry for Lord Guo. He continued, "In fact, anyone who has experienced officialdom can easily predict the final fate of Lord Guo, which is very simple, because most of the loyal ministers have no good results, and this is the price of loyalty!"

This time, Xuanyuan Luo Yu was even more puzzled, and said: "Why, why is Zhongjun going to die, this is not fair!"

He smiled and said: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the loyalty is against the ear, before becoming an official, many people may have the same ambition as you are like Lord Guo, but after you really enter the officialdom, you will find a lot of helplessness, many, many involuntarily, in order to protect yourself, there is only one way to go!"

He paused for a while, and then said: "So you really don't have to feel sad for Lord Guo, I think, Lord Guo doesn't admit it, but he has already understood his end, or perhaps, this is a very suitable destination for him!"

Xuanyuan Luoyu said sadly: "Isn't it too sad to say this, good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years, after you say it, I seem to understand, but why don't I want to understand it so much now......"

“...... Let's look at the point, county lord, there are thousands of paths in life, and none of them are easy to walk. Tianlan originally wanted to persuade her, but after thinking about it again, there is indeed no smooth sailing in the world, so it would be better for her to understand earlier.

Xuanyuan Luo Yu was silent for a while, and said with a forced smile: "It's strange, you're not much older than me, how can you talk old-fashioned, as if you've experienced a lot!"

Tianlan smiled bitterly, in fact, he is not only not older than her, but also much younger than her, the county lord of Luoyu is double ten this year, and he is just eighteen years old, but because of his specialness, no one can be him eighteen years old, and he himself is even more.

At this time, noon was approaching, and the soldiers escorted the unkempt Guo Haoze over, Tianlan's eyesight was excellent, and he could see that Guo Haoze must have been tortured in the past few days, his eyes were blank, his limbs trembled, and he could barely walk with a huge wooden flail.

Tianlan finally got acquainted with him, and he was related, but he came here today just to witness his end, and he would definitely not make a move.

Guo Haoze, who was kneeling on the execution ground, seemed to notice the people surrounding him, his eyes were inexplicably bright, and he suddenly shouted: "I, Guo Haoze, have been worthy of the sky and the earth all my life, and have worked for the welfare of tens of millions of people in Qiyang for decades, loyal to the monarch and the country, even if there are thousands of difficulties, I have no regrets, no regrets, no regrets, no regrets!!

His old voice still resounded in the sky, but it did not respond again, and the people booed and cursed again and again; the executioner decisively ordered the beheading; the executioner picked up the butcher's knife and fell with his hand, and blood splattered five steps.

The last cry of "no regrets" finally dissipated over the sand camp after a long time, and it was not until there was no longer that loyal voice that the people burst into cheers......

Xuanyuan Luoyu covered her mouth with her hands, burst into tears, listening to the applause of the people, she felt so harsh for the first time in her life...... Is this the people she and Guo Haoze are trying so hard to save, so ignorant and ironic...... She was instantly stunned, not knowing whether what she had done, Guo Haoze's sacrifice, was meaningful.

Tianlan sighed, and at the end of the end, he admitted that Guo Haoze was indeed a person he admired, maybe he looked down on the path he chose, but his 'spirit' was worthy of admiration.

When the people dispersed, Tianlan and Xuanyuan Luoyu slowly walked towards the palace, and the two of them had their own concerns on the way, and it didn't take long for them to return to the palace.

When I entered the big 'gate', I happened to see Ye Yi wandering inside.

Ye Yi originally came to visit Tianlan, but after he came, he learned that he and the county lord had gone out, and he didn't think about what they were doing, so he just wandered around in the front yard with nothing to do, but fortunately, they came back soon after waiting, Ye Yi was very happy to see that Tianlan was basically fine now.

At this time, the Nine Princes Xuanyuan was coming.

To be precise, this is the second time Tianlan has seen the Nine Princes, but the last time he saw it in a state of not very clear mind, he didn't observe carefully, but he felt that he had an extraordinary temperament, and this time I looked at it again, and I had a new understanding of him: Xuanyuan was upright, his face was straight, and he was dressed in dark blue. In Tianlan's feeling, he only has prestige, and there is no madness of life and death, which shows that he is high and powerful, but he should stick to his own position, not abuse his power easily, and deserve to be the nine princes of Qiyang who are admired by thousands of people, and his name is well deserved.

Tianlan's first impression of him was good, but it didn't mean that he would have a good impression of the Nine Princes, he always remembered that he was a member of the Qinglong Tianlingsha family and an enemy of Qi Yang, and this Nine Princes was the marshal of Qi Yang this time, so he regarded Xuanyuan as an enemy in his heart, intending to find his weaknesses.

"Father. Xuanyuan Luo Yu exclaimed respectfully.

"Marshal. "Ye Yi is now a soldier, and he should also salute Xuanyuan.

Tianlan hesitated for a moment, and also said, "Marshal!"

Xuanyuan Zheng didn't notice anything wrong, maybe he was in a good mood today, he kept smiling, and said, "Okay, your name is Tianlan, your body is better!"

Tianlan behaved as plainly as possible, and said, "Yes, thank you Marshal for your concern!"

Xuanyuan Zheng laughed and said, "You should be rewarded greatly for saving the king's 'daughter', say, what do you want!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to be rewarded, Ye Yi's eyes lit up, and Xuanyuan Luo Yu was smiling, but how could Tianlan be rare Xuanyuan Zheng's reward, he saved Xuanyuan Luo Yu just for his conscience, and said calmly: "It is the duty to help the county lord, how dare you ask for a reward!"

Xuanyuan Zheng thought he was polite, and said: "This king said that you should be rewarded, so don't be humble anymore!"

Ye Yi couldn't wait to pull his sleeve and said in a low voice: "You have such a great opportunity to return your mother-in-law, what do you want, say it quickly, if you don't need it, it's okay to share me at all!"

Although he spoke in a small voice, all the people present were deaf and clear, and they could hear it clearly, but when he was joking, he didn't care, and Tianlan didn't want to be too insidious, and said: "In this case, let the marshal decide!"

Just as Xuanyuan was thinking about what to reward him, Xuanyuan Luo Yu said: "Father, since Tianlan Gongzi didn't think about what he wanted, it would be better to let him choose one of the treasure troves at random!"

Everyone looked at her at the same time, they were all a little surprised, the treasure house of the palace, even if this side is just the other residence of the Nine Princes, the good things in it are equivalent to the wealth of the Nine Princes' small half of their lives, and they will not be shown easily, even if the Shaying Pass is breached, without the Nine Princes leading the way, this treasure house will not be discovered.

Ye Yi was pleasantly surprised: "This is good, Tianlan, maybe there will be those few things......"

Of course, Tianlan knew what he was talking about, it was the remaining few spiritual treasures: Zijin Yunzhi, Jiuluo Blood Ginseng, Qianlingjing 'Jade', and Ghost Huang Ghost Fetus.

It is a great surprise to find any of these four things, and for the sake of this glimmer of possibility, this treasure trove should also be visited.

Xuanyuan Zheng only hesitated for a moment, and then boldly agreed: "Okay, since this is the case, this king will take you to the treasure house to choose one, but you have to remember that you can only choose one, don't be greedy!"

Ye Yiqi coaxed: "Lord Wang, can I also go to see and see together, just take a look, okay!"

The treasure house will never be able to enter without Xuanyuan Zheng himself, so Xuanyuan Zheng is also relieved, what does it matter if he brings one more person, so he said: "Okay, if you are lucky, let's go together." ”
