Chapter 340: A Miracle?
A low humming sound was like a black cloud covering the ground, and the miserable mist was enveloped outside the doors and windows of the Xinuan Pavilion of Yulan Hall.
In just a moment, the people who retreated into the room were either shocked or frightened to hear the noise outside, and the calmer ones quickly estimated the situation that Yulan Hall was facing from a few words of dialogue that came from the noise and chaos.
Although Zhou Manyun had prompted the guards to wear bronze helmets and leather armor, there were still a few unfortunate people who were unable to dodge, and were gnawed into white bones by the small insects that possessed and sucked flesh and blood in an instant.
The guards of the East Palace shot and killed half of the queens brought by the Qingning Palace, but now the loyal and dutiful soldiers clasped the bows and arrows in their hands, and they could only watch as Elder Kui, who took off his hat and showed white hair, swaggered towards the main hall of Yulan Hall with his men. The small shady insects covering the doors and windows of Yulan Hall made them throw rats, and what made them stand still was the order of the crown prince Xiao Ze to stop drinking loudly from the Xinuan Pavilion.
"How dare a thief and slave be so bold! It's simply, it's just ......", in the sluggish silence of the warm pavilion waiting for the comers to talk about the conditions, Xu Hou's unbelievable whispers were particularly harsh. In the small warm pavilion, only she had witnessed the scene of Elder Kui repelling insects and eating people, and she was originally sitting on the phoenix throne and looking at her coldly, if Xiao Ze hadn't pulled her in just now, it was likely that those insects would have landed on her body now.
"Daring?!" , Xiao Ze looked at the pale mother below, and said in a low voice: "The queen mother has been teaching her husband and children in Yunzhou for thirty years, and she thinks about the world too simply. ”
Not every woman who can become the queen mother can have the wisdom and courage to weigh the system, and there is still a distance between political and military affairs and household affairs. If every qualified housewife can also be a competent monarch, the world does not need to respect the practice of knowledge at all.
What's more, the ambitious and talented queen mother saw that she had collapsed most of her original proper queen mother's throne.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please also drink the guards of the East Palace to collect the sword soldiers, and rest the whole team for the time being!" Through the door, Elder Kui's gloomy voice rang out. The request made happened to be the same as what Xiao Ze had made to Empress Xu not long ago.
"There are no definite brown body and white wings, cannibalistic flesh and blood, but the current number should not exceed 10,000, if you burn it with fire or kill the mother Gu, you can extinguish it!" Xiao Ze raised his voice to tell Man Yun's whisper, and Xiaoqiao Liushui leaned against the window and repeated the words louder to the guards outside.
All the uncertainties were crouching on the doors and windows of the Xinuan Pavilion and looking for cracks, as if to suck the tender grass juice from the green and green curtains.
A hint of chagrin appeared on Elder Kui's face.
The uncertain qi he worked so hard to raise was indeed only a brown body and white wings, if he could raise the mother Gu into a golden body and silver wings like the Poison Sutra, he would be able to quickly produce new small insects while devouring flesh and blood, instead of having a certain number like now, if the guards of the East Palace were not afraid of death and pulled out one after another to raise fire, it would always be consumed.
Many Gu poisons are fixed. General Feng of the Chen Dynasty seized this weakness when he summoned Nan and used his life to fill the way forward in several battles.
"The prince is benevolent. You can't bear to let your loyal soldiers come to your death, right? Elder Kui calmed down and said loudly: "What's more, there are our people in the secret guard sent by the queen mother to protect the grandson of Emperor Han. ”
Empress Xu, who was already frightened and crying, became even more panicked when she heard this, and without waiting for Xiao Ze to answer, she immediately grabbed the words and sobbed: "Elder Kui! You told this palace that you went to this palace just to take away the child born to this woman. It won't hurt the palace and the emperor and grandson at all! Now that she is here, the water palace has been opened, and when she gives birth to a child, the palace will give you a lift...... You'd better hurry. Hurry up and give her an oxytocic pill! ”
Empress Xu's last anxious roar was directed at Xiao Man, who was helping Man Yun produce behind a screen.
Xiao Man's lips trembled, and the hand resting on the side of the couch moved. was held by Manyun to death. The sweaty woman shook her head softly.
"Is this your revenge? Because of the pain of being taken away from the child, you can't treat Xiaoliu well, I understand. But to inflict the same pain on other women......", Xiao Ze said as he coughed violently.
He took the handkerchief handed by Lu Shou with trembling hands, and did not cover the corners of his bloody mouth. Instead, he staggered to Xu Hou's side, wrapped around the silk like a rope and was about to strangle.
Deliberately turning his head not to look at the queen's frightened eyes, Xiao Ze leaned against the door and said loudly: "Since Elder Kui has made an appointment with the queen to help Xiao Han's kid ascend the throne, and now you have been sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger in Baoyi Courtyard, you don't need to send someone to go." The main palace can now order the East Palace guards to withdraw. However, he also asked the elder Yun Mu to send his subordinates to transfer the forbidden army to take over the defense of the East Palace and protect the safety of the emperor and grandson. ”
"The prince really still thinks about the relationship between father and son!" , Elder Kui rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "But please ask the queen mother to command!" ”
"Shoot three arrows! Let Xu Mu lead the army to the rescue! Save Hongu quickly! Feeling the cord around his neck loose, Xu Hou screamed at the top of his throat. Xu Mu is the nephew of Empress Xu's mother, and he was arranged to serve in the forbidden army early, and before Empress Xu entered the East Palace, he led his thousands of people to hang nearby, and he had already agreed that as long as the arrow sounded, he immediately rushed in.
However, after a while, three explosions rang out in the darkening sky of Yulan Hall. The guards of the East Palace, who were still ready to pounce on the courtyard wall of the roof, evacuated the whole team according to Xiao Ze's instructions.
Elder Kui and the others who were waiting in the middle hall of Yulan Hall also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Wu Dingqiu is still densely lying on the door and window sash of Xinuan Pavilion, even if all the adults in the pavilion are bitten into white bones after the child is born, how to take the baby away from the East Palace guards is also a problem, and it is also a good thing for them to be able to transfer the forbidden army that has colluded with Empress Xu. And Xiao Zeken cooperated with all the guards to transfer away, it can be seen that at the moment of life and death, his own flesh and blood are always much closer than his nephews and nieces, and he has to compromise and hand over the children.
Seeing that the order had been carried out, the handkerchief on the back of Xu's neck was moved into her mouth. At this moment, the queen mother, who was deprived of freedom of movement and speech, calmed down, and looked at the shadow reflected on the screen with a cold heart like snow, and her heart swelled with a rare sense of happiness.
It was only natural that the pain she had suffered should make that woman doubly bear it. Zhou Manyun herself wants to marry the wild seed who occupies her son's position, and she wants to give birth to children for him, everything is as it should be. Empress Xu didn't believe that Elder Kui, who was weird about yin and yang, could treat the child who was about to be taken away.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! I don't know how Princess Yan's labor process is? Old decay hides some good medicine. Please also come in and help Princess Yan diagnose the pulse! Elder Kui's request was faintly proud, and there was also the joy of wanting to hug the child immediately.
"I'll have to ask the child's mother what she means!" , Xiao Ze left the door with a faint smile, and sat on Man Yun's couch without hesitation. He lowered his head to her mouth and listened to a few muttered mutters. Then he looked at Xiao Man, who was kneeling at the end of the couch.
Xiao Man raised his head, stared at Xiao Ze who was holding Man Yun's hand tightly, and silently made a mouth shape, "Gong Kai eight fingers, it's almost over." ”
"Gong Kai's second finger, it may take a few hours!" , Xiao Ze turned his head sideways and reminded loudly: "I wonder if Elder Kui wants to see if the child can inherit the Holy Star?" If this is the case, I am afraid that I will not be able to use the catalytic drug, and the time is wrong. The astrolabe is also messed up. ”
Elder Kui was stunned in shock. The original mind was broken, and the old man had some embarrassment on his face, and replied in a low voice: "The old man really wants to bring the child with the blood of the Holy Star back to Nanzhao, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to fulfill it." ”
In the past, the Star Initiation Gu of the Nanzhao Mang Clan's royal family was presided over by the Holy Star Palace, and Kui was just following more rituals and becoming a self-taught teacher. He listened to the words in the warm pavilion, and couldn't help but review in a daze whether he had abused drugs before and made some mistakes that he shouldn't have made.
The world hopes that the process of giving birth will be as short as possible. But Man Yun, who was already in extreme pain, wanted to make his pain last longer in the chaos.
But the laws of nature cannot be arbitrarily transferred by man's will.
Taking a hard breath, Man Yun squeezed Xiao Ze's hand tightly. The already bald nails were cut into his flesh, "I...... No...... Let anyone ...... Take my ...... Child! ”
"No!" , Xiao Ze's other empty hand stroked Man Yun's forehead and laughed in a low voice: "No one can take him away!" No matter how difficult it is, no matter how persistent it is, etc., maybe a miracle will happen! ”
A pain burst out of Man Yun's throat uncontrollably......
Wrong! The ghost-faced spider lying on its neck flicked its long legs restlessly. Elder Kui, who was sitting in the hall with his eyes closed, stood up suddenly, walked to the next door, and slapped it hard.
Nearly 10,000 uncertainties parked on the door suddenly fell to the ground like a black rain, but they did not rise again. Elder Kui squatted down in disbelief and picked up a few, and one by one the insects on the ground fainted as if they had ingested poison by mistake, and some of them were even completely dead.
The long wizened fingers wiped the blue veil that had been covered by black insects. He rubbed it on his lips and tasted it, and Elder Kui howled as if he were crying. He thought that Zhou Manyun was producing poison that could not be applied, but he didn't want to have a special poisonous fragrance on the blue yarn. So much so that for a moment of carelessness, I didn't find out the fact that even a definite one had not drilled into the seam.
"Knock the door open!" , Elder Kui roared angrily.
Several forbidden troops guarding the Yulan Hall promised to move forward, but before they could take two steps, they were stunned.
In an instant, the corners of the beams and pillars of Yulan Hall were already filled with snakes of different colors spitting long letters.
Elder Kui raised his hand and sprinkled a bag of poisonous powder, turning a flower snake in front of him into a puddle of yellow water, and said sharply at the door of the Warm Pavilion with a cruel smile on his face: "It turns out that Princess Yan's fate Gu is a gentleman?!" However, Lao Yu remembered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just reminded the old man that there were many poisons, and he thought that as long as he filled in a hundred lives, the door that you ordered the snake viper to protect would be opened. ”
Hearing that his aunt was imprisoned in the snake room, Xu Mu ran over and forced the frightened soldiers to step forward and kill the long worms that were winding on the wall on the ground.
And the group of people who followed Elder Kui even bit their index fingers together with the old man, dripping red blood and causing poisonous insects.
The helpers that Yinzi had temporarily summoned were not domesticated, and some of them still had the stupidity of hibernation dens, and they only relied on instinct to stubbornly stay by the doors and windows of the warm pavilion.
The butcher's knife that slashed at the soft and smooth body of the snake clan outside the warm pavilion was even more crazy, and the person who fell under the snake's venom smashed together with the severed snake body, gradually becoming hell.
In the confusion, a black ghost-faced spider crawled through a gap in the door of the Xinuan Pavilion and crawled towards the tender blood that exuded an alluring aroma.
Zhou Manyun had wet black hair, and in Xiao Man's continuous shouting that the child's head had been out of the birth canal, his consciousness was unconscious, and he seemed to hear a high-pitched and clear leaf flute outside the courtyard in a dream......
Obviously, Man Yun was not the only one who heard the music.
The silver who was guarding Man Yun's pillow raised his head, and the ghost-faced spider who had already crawled over the screen stopped hesitantly, stopped for a while, and actually turned around and crawled out again. And the group of Gu worms that blindly followed the big spider also broke away from the master's control as if they had fallen into an evil spirit, rustling across the ground, or flying to a stop in the air.
"Elder Kui, don't come unharmed!" , A polite greeting came from outside the Yulan Hall. (To be continued......)
