Chapter 262: The Puppet

The sky is washed with the same turquoise blue, stretching in the sunshine of Luojing City, revealing a new vitality.

There were crowds of people on both sides of the wide royal street, and the conscientious city guards adhered to the need to be considerate of the people, and did not drive them away, only in the place where the long street was close to the imperial city, only the official family members who secretly verified their identities were put in, and the outside was loose and the inside was tight.

Fifty zhang further on, it is open to the Huangji Gate.

The water of the Yudai River flows quietly, the flying beams of the Jinming Bridge hang rainbows, and the copper nails on the closed Huangji Gate are shining. Last winter, the text that flew like snowflakes to denounce the small court in the south of the Yangtze River has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Luojing Imperial City is determined to usher in a new master in the new year.

The official enthronement ceremony of the king of a country will naturally not let the idle people in the city wait for the ceremony.

The 12th day of February, which allowed many people to watch, was also a good day calculated by Qin Tianjian, but it was Jingguo Gong who led his ministers to enter the palace to reopen the court meeting with the future Son of Heaven. The consensus reached up and down before was firm, but it was just a tacit understanding hidden in the private mansion, and it was taken to the court to go through the motions in an improper manner, why did it block the mouths of the world.

What's more, the little emperor, who had been under house arrest by the emperor's uncle since birth, also had to move to the palace before officially ascending the throne.

The time to enter the palace is set at the right time, and the excitement of watching the drama at this moment is purely the result of Jing Guogong's intention to show off his military might, and all the ministers work together to hold stinky feet.

Looking at the Huangji Gate at the end of Suzaku Street from afar, Zhou Manyun, who was hiding in the crowd, had a pair of eyebrows and eyes, although he secretly felt funny in his heart, he still tried his best to maintain a dignified and quiet faΓ§ade on his face.

Lu Shou, who was standing behind Man Yun, was wearing a guard-style green robe, hugging Amethyst in his arms, with a cold face like a coffin board, and pursed the corners of his mouth contemptuously. In his eyes. Zhou Manyun, who was waiting for Zhou Manyun on the side of the royal street in a bunch of officials and female dependents, was dressed plainly and low-key, showing laziness in dealing with people, it was better to look at He Xianying, who had been helping her to support all parties.

He Xianying's complexion was much better than a few days ago. The dark dark circles under her eyes were completely gone, and her face was moist and blushing, so that when Mrs. He, who learned that she was now pulled out to the sixth room of the Xiao family, stepped forward to greet her, she also gently pinched her little hand and asked if it was given to the sixth master of the Xiao family by the prince of the world to cross the bright road?

"It is indeed arranged by the prince to stay in the sixth room.". He Xianying responded softly like a mosquito, with a little shyness. Mrs. He left with half regret and half satisfaction, and He Xianying's docile gaze on her back gradually became cold.

The refuge that crossed the bright road is true, but it is completely different from the kind of selling out that Mrs. He vaguely thought. After revealing his identity and begging the sixth grandmother that day, he was taken by the six-room couple to meet the son Xiao Ze. As far as she can know, she has told the truth all about the affairs of Tianxiangyuan, and she has also begged for grace to let her sister out of the palace. Compared with the He family and Tianxiangyuan, who have the hatred of forcing their mother to commit suicide, the Xiao family, which has no conflicts of interest and grievances, should be more suitable for thick legs.

As long as Jing Guogong protects the newly baked little emperor today, he will step on the royal street from the hidden mansion. Walk through the Huangji Gate and go straight to the Chengtian Palace...... The humble wish of picking up my sister out of the deep palace should be realized soon, and I can't say that the two sisters can still be free and be a wife and mother in a dignified manner.

He Xianying's expectant eyes were glued to the royal street like everyone else, and she didn't dare to blink lightly.

"Ahh , an exclamation, suddenly escaped from He Xianying's mouth, and merged into the same surprised voice of the surrounding crowd. Ear clapping.

Zhou Manyun, who pursed the corners of his mouth, looked at the Huangji Gate with everyone's eyes. I sighed in my heart.

However, in an instant, there was an upright figure sitting in the open space in front of the towering Huangji Gate gatehouse, as if it had grown out of thin air. The gowns of the second-rank generals of the Chen Dynasty were red in the sun, like a sharp blade inserted in the central axis of the palace, firmly blocking the gate of the palace that was slowly opening.

"Commander Jane!" , Suddenly guessing who the person who couldn't see the face clearly, Lu Shou's hand involuntarily let go. Amethyst slipped to the ground of the bluestone slab dissatisfied. Another leap forward, slamming Man Yun's shoulder.

The past life will come and this life is almost the same, and the ancients said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake also has a certain truth. Jian Huai, who could not be found, really appeared mysteriously in front of the emperor's gate like the story of his previous life, posing as if he was swearing to die with his mantis arm as a car.

Zhou Manyun curled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. Grabbed the amethyst from his shoulder, and while gently helping it smooth the hair, he waited for the play for a long time.

When she was not ugly this morning, Xiao Hong left her to join her father and brother, and there was a faint depression between her eyebrows. The task of finding Jian Huai after entering the city made Xiao Hong feel a little frustrated. But the old and the new chariot had already rushed to the gate of the palace, and it was not enough to stop because of a piece of dirt that could not be seen, but to rush through it without stopping, and the obstacle that would cause trouble in the final sprint would jump out on its own, and then solve it casually was just a trivial matter.

A whistle arrow with a curling white smoke struck into the sky with a clatter, as if it had scratched a white scar in the blue sky.

Jian Huai, who shook his sleeves and released his arrows, straightened up and roared impassionedly at a group of forbidden soldiers with guns who surrounded him, and the soldiers who came around him retreated neatly.

On the royal street, which was already empty, horses began to run constantly, as if they were passing back and forth the message of Jian Huai's request for negotiation.

"Jian Huai, the commander of the former palace guards...... It is said that if the prince insists on bringing the son of the king and the princes and ministers into the palace, it is really a rebellion...... He arranged the dead soldiers of the Xuanwu Guard's secret department in all important places in the palace, and if the Guogong team dared to take a step closer, they would send another whistle arrow and let them set fire to the palace, in short, not allowing outsiders to enter......"

Lu Shou, who was arranged to inquire about the news, squeezed back with great efficiency, and whispered in Manyun's ear, his delicate face scornful.

"Are you thinking that if you knew that Jian Huai was going to play this hand, you should not be able to consume it?" , Man Yunxiu raised his eyebrows lightly, ignoring what was in front of him, but he found the thorn in Lu Shou's eyes.

"Commander Jian's move will make it difficult for Lord Guogong!" , Lu Shou, who was seen through his careful thinking, simply straightened his waist with a little schadenfreude.

"It's just a small thing!" , Zhou Manyun is still the old god on the ground, caressing Amethyst's smooth back. Unlike the others who seemed to be scared at the scene, she was calm and calm after hearing some stories in her previous life. If it weren't for Xiao Hong telling her that she hadn't found Jian Huaiqi, she would have suspected that someone surnamed Jian was the nurse who was invited by Jing Guogong to set up a big scam.

The seemingly fierce threat was persuaded to give up at the last moment by a man in white who did not know the origin. After adding oil and vinegar several times, it has become a miracle of the bodhisattva's manifestation and sanctification. It is the mandate of heaven for the little emperor to successfully ascend the throne, and a few years later, the Zen throne was given to Jing Guogong on the same day, and the result of Shuntian came into being.

Zhou Manyun was in a good mood today and didn't hide in the house to be lazy, in addition to seeing the heroic posture of her husband's entourage, she also wanted to come to admire the birth of the god stick who lacked eyes in her previous life.

"Grandma's composure is incomparable to that of the slaves." He Xianying, who was originally tugging at her heart, turned her face to compliment Man Yun, and she also borrowed the heart of the calm housemother An An. At the end of her words, several ladies who were close to each other also set their eyes on Man Yun.

"It will be safe!" , Zhou Manyun spoke clearly word by word, and smiled under the attention of the ladies of each family, as bright as a flower.

"Master Jian has cultivated the Pure Yang Mixed Yuan Technique since he was a child, and his body is like gold and bronze, and ordinary weapons can't hurt him. Even if you snipe with a bow and crossbow, before the arrow hits him. It's still a breeze to whistle smoke. What's more, it's not good to see blood on such a day! After Zhou Manyun smiled and turned around, Lu Shou, who was standing on the side, whispered a reminder from between his teeth.

"Why bother with it? Just find someone he can trust to persuade him! ”

"Doesn't the sixth grandmother know that Commander Jian has no relatives in this world at all, and has no wife and children?"

"There's always someone he cares about, right?" , Zhou Manyun's smile was still bright, and his eyes flashed in front of the Emperor's Gate, showing his expectation......

"Damn Monk Jane! Jane Turtle! ”。 Jing Guogong Xiao Rui's roar and scolding burst out of his throat unabashedly, causing the two boys wearing golden four-clawed python robes next to him to stretch out their two thin little arms in fear.

"Lord Guogong! Don't be surprised...... King! ”。 An old eunuch in red with a white beard and trembling legs boldly whispered to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui glared at the old eunuch angrily, snorted coldly, and strode into a restaurant on the side of the street that had been cleaned up. Originally, the king and the accompanying ministers who were going to enter the palace from the Qiandi were hung on the street, surrounded by guards and guards, and the arrows on the roofs and walls on both sides were aimed at the chariots.

"It's my father-in-law who underestimated this damn Jane turtle! A lifetime of looking forward and cringinge. A soft egg that even a woman doesn't dare to touch...... Actually playing with Lao Tzu on the verge of death! ”

I can't tell if the Jian turtle, who can only pretend to be stupid, still follow the example of the third child who took hostages at the gate of the Huangji Gate, Jing Guogong's angry gaze burned hot from Xiao Yuan's face, who had a black face on the right side.

"Father, it is imperative to invite Master Jian away as soon as possible, so as not to miss the hour." , a word please bites very clearly in the mouth of Xiao Ze, the son of the world. Originally, it was the son of heaven who did not have the holy decree of the first emperor and the jade seal. If you see the blood ominously, the Xiao family, which is under the banner of righteousness, will inevitably bear the doubts and condemnations from all sides of the world.

"No matter how hard Jane's turtle shell is, there are seams." , Xiao Rui pondered for a while, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Go and arrange the horses, and my father will talk to him personally!" ”

"Father must not be in danger! If you want to go, let the children go! Xiao Ze was shocked and rushed forward to hug Xiao Rui's arm, and the parent-child henchmen gathered in the hall also surrounded him.

"Jian Huai's martial arts are outstanding, and he is afraid that he is in danger of being held hostage when he gets close. What's more, Jian Huai had said before that if anyone was close to him, he would release the whistle arrow in his arms...... It's better to send someone to sneak into the palace first and pull out the hidden stakes he has planted everywhere, and then make a calculation......"

"If you think about it again, is it to reschedule the time to enter the palace? Trapped on the street by a mere puppet, we had no choice but to send Wang Jia back to the palace first, we had already lost face and didn't have to enter the palace again, and it was more convenient to clean up and roll back to Yunzhou! ”

The Xiao family has been bloodshed, sacrificed, and endured grievances for decades, and now they are at the last step of their journey of thousands of miles, are they going to be dragged down by a stupid villain? Xiao Rui, who was at war with heaven and man in his heart, roared angrily, scolded everyone around him who had their own ideas, and stood alone in the hall, his chest undulating and pulling the bellows urgently, and there was a loud voice.

There is something to be gained in the world! Xiao Rui's red bloodshot eyes instantly looked around and stared at a handsome young face.

"Xiao Hong! Come here ......" (to be continued......)
