Chapter 30 Entering the Temple

Wind and rain stopped...... The lingering curtains have ceased to flutter.

Zhao Susu's face was peachy, his face was on Luo Xiaotian, he looked at him with coquettishness, and said softly: "From now on, you can't bear my ......."

Luo Xiaotian stretched out his finger and put it between her lips to stop her from saying what she hadn't yet spoken, and looked at her with affection: "In this life and this life, I, Luo Xiaotian, will never live up to you, and I am willing to follow Qing's heart until death." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Susu curled up on his chest like a kitten, his eyes closed, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

……

A few days have passed, and Luo Xiaotian is still at a loss as to how to rescue Chen An'an. Although he had asked his senior brother to go back to Lingyang City to find his master's help, there was no news until now.

Zhao Susu saw that he was sad all day long, and he was also worried.

In the palace of King Bei'an in Kyoto City, the leisurely Zhao Kangyi is feeding fish in the garden. A handful of fish food is dropped, the pool is noisy, and the koi fish are crowded into a ball and scramble. At this moment, in the afterglow, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man dressed in a tight dark brown robe, stopping at the gate of the palace, and looking inside mysteriously, his eyes as sharp as an eagle. King Bei'an was calm and composed, and continued to leisurely throw a handful of fish food, a trace of contempt appeared on his face, and he snorted coldly.

The figure of the mysterious person is dressed as a master of martial arts, and it must be unusual to appear at the gate of the palace at this time. And Zhao Kangyi seems to be accustomed to it, and he is not afraid and worried, but allows the other party to snoop.

At this time, a light gauze figure entered the courtyard from the door, and the king of Bei'an stared at the shadow and thought about it, as if he saw the old man.

"Daddy, daddy......" It turned out that it was Zhao Susu who came in, and when he saw his father in a daze, he shouted repeatedly.

"Oh, Susu, you're here!" King Bei'an came back to his senses and sighed lightly.

"Is Daddy on his mind?"

"Haha, you look too much like your mother. The moment you came in, it reminded me of decades ago, when I was here to feed the fish, and your mother would come out of it. ”

The familiar environment in this courtyard, seeing his daughter come in, made King Bei'an in a trance. I can't help but sigh in my heart that things are wrong and that time has passed.

"Why don't we leave Beijing in a few days, lest my father see things and think about people." Zhao Susu looked at a pool of koi fish in front of him and said.

"Huh? Didn't you say that you would leave tomorrow? Why, hexagram again? King Bei'an asked puzzled.

"Daddy, wouldn't you be upset if you arrested that An'an girl and put her in the dungeon? She's Xiaotian's friend. Zhao Susu was a little angry, and the two eyebrows that looked like willow leaves were squeezed together.

"Hehe, the little girl's thoughts, I, the old man, can still see it, but you don't see it. Then it's up to you to settle down in Kyoto for a few days, and I want to see if the wind and rain in Kyoto can cause decay. King Bei'an raised his voice and said.

"Daddy, can you help Xiaotian? He spent the whole day trying to save the girl. ”

"He'll have a way, Daddy believes in him. It's just that once you enter the court, it's as deep as the sea, and it's hard to turn back......" He looked at the pool of koi fish who were trying their best to grab food, and his eyes were deep: "One day, you will understand that Daddy's good intentions in arresting Chen An'an!" ”

"Please go to the palace to intercede with the emperor, otherwise, Su Su will go to grandma." Zhao Susu said stupidly.

"His Majesty the Emperor has his own plans, you and I can't decide, only Luo Xiaotian can solve this situation, just because he is the son of an old man of His Majesty."

Zhao Susu didn't understand his father's words, frowned, and looked at the koi fish competing for food in the pool.

……

For some reason, for a few days, there were often unfamiliar faces mysteriously walking back and forth at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

Luo Xiaotian, who was standing on the second floor, looked at these people and was not very interested in them.

In fact, he has long been aware of these phenomena. It's just that the other party didn't cross the line, so he didn't deliberately investigate the reason. After all, he was just thinking about saving Chen An'an from now.

"I'm going to kill them!"

The sudden voice behind him disturbed him, and Luo Xiaotian complained, "Uncle Qianji, can you not be so elusive in the future?" My little heart can't stand it. ”

"I can't change it." Qianji said coldly.

"Huh! Then you can't just kill people. Luo Xiaotian pointed to the people at the door and said.

"Danger—"

"I'd like to see what they want to do!" There was a flash of anticipation in his eyes.

At this time, Zhang Ruyue suddenly came and knocked on the door in a hurry, and her voice was hurried: "Senior Brother Xiaotian!" Someone is in the palace! I want to see you, and I am waiting in the guest hall. ”

Luo Xiaotian looked at Uncle Qianji beside him in surprise.

Qianji shook his head, as if to say: Don't ask me.

Above the guest hall, there stood an old man with white eyebrows, with a serious expression and a little arrogance. On both sides stood several royal guards, dressed in brocade and jade belts, majestic.

Luo Xiaotian entered the door and looked around at the guest hall.

The white-eyed old man saw him come in. The voice was as sharp as a woman, and she asked domineeringly, "Is it Luo Xiaotian?" ”

"I am." Luo Xiaotian replied.

"Come with me, so that the emperor will not be in a hurry." The old man said in a strange manner.

"I wonder what Your Majesty is looking for me?"

"The emperor is looking for you, how does the old slave know? Come with me, where are there so many problems? ”

"Old man, please lead the way!" Luo Xiaotian made a gesture of please.

"Humph!" The old man glanced at him, raised his head and snorted softly, swaying towards the door.

……

The palace of Nanyu Kingdom is majestic and magnificent. The glazed golden roof on the Luan Hall is shining golden in the sunlight; The steps in front of the golden hall are even more clean and immaculate, like white jade; There are many pavilions and pavilions, and the corridor between them is carved and painted.

The white-eyed old man who led Luo Xiaotian into the hall seemed to be the emperor's personal servant, and the palace maids and servants along the way bowed when they saw him and called him "Manager Yu".

Pass through several palace corridors. After a long time, Manager Yu took Luo Xiaotian to a palace door and stopped. Waving his hand to signal him to wait quietly, he cautiously pushed the door in.

After a while, Mr. Yu came out. Respectfully invite him into the temple, and close the door outside.

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Xiaotian looked around, but the hall was empty. He walked to the hall, and a letter was spread out on the desk in front of him, the handwriting was not dry, and the brush was still resting on the inkstone, and the ink was shiny. Obviously, the people have only been gone for a long time.

At this moment, there was a sword sound from the side door beside him, and there was a clanging sound.

He followed the sound and peered out the door. I saw that in the courtyard, a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure and steady steps was practicing sharp sword moves.

This person is His Majesty the Emperor, Luo Xiaotian carefully pondered the emperor's sword style: the offensive moves are deadly, and the defense is impenetrable. Luo Xiaotian was puzzled, he was so skilled, why was he easily taken down by Chen Anan on the night of the assassination?

Sensing someone coming in behind him, the emperor put his sword into the sheath before the move was finished.

"What? Don't say hello when you come in? The Emperor turned around and asked in a majestic voice.

"Don't dare to disturb Your Majesty's sword practice." Luo Xiaotian replied.

The emperor pulled out half of the sword, looked at the bright sword and asked him, "Do you know the sword?" ”

"I don't seem to understand. For example, when the assassination was carried out that night, His Majesty could have countered, but why did he show weakness? ”

"You're clever, so you should know why." The Emperor pushed the half-cut blade of his sword into the sheath.

"Your Majesty, Xiaotian doesn't dare to discuss it."

"Huh...... I thought you were different from those princes and ministers. There was a hint of contempt in the Emperor's majestic words.

"In the next mortal man, how dare he be compared with the emperor's important ministers and generals."

"Do you think that by showing weakness to me like this, you can save your friend? Are you also a rebel? Emperor Long Yan was intimidated and looked at Luo Xiaotian.

"Your Majesty thinks that I staged a spy in a spy that night?"

The emperor felt that this word was fresh, laughed, approached him, and took a closer look: "I see that you don't have that talent, although you have a good pair of muscles and bones, your body is really unstable." ”

"Master didn't teach the mind, but just practiced some self-defense techniques."

"Is there such a master in the world? The old man was really stingy and stubborn. This is obviously a ridicule from an old acquaintance of the master.

"The family teacher is strict, but Xiaotian is dull and has shallow qualifications."

"Don't you defend that old guy anymore, I don't know him?" The Emperor smiled and continued, "You haven't answered my question yet. ”

Luo Xiaotian pondered for nothing, as if there was something unspeakable, and only after a moment did he say, "Your Majesty is testing Zhongliang. ”

The emperor laughed: "Haha...... Even you know why, but those ministers are so greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

"Each performs his own duties, but the ministers are weak in their thinking, not the courage of military generals."

"Who taught you so wisely? Is that the old guy? I don't believe it! The Emperor said in confusion.

"The family teacher teaches well, and His Majesty knows people."

"Your submissive appearance is not used to it, I'm afraid you are planning in your heart. However, if you saved me, it doesn't hurt for you to say it. ”

"Your Majesty really has a good eye, and everything you think in your heart can be seen through."

The emperor put down his sword, picked up the bow and arrow on the table, and drew the bow with arrows: "What do you ask for?" ”

The words did not stop, and the arrows whizzed out, hitting the bull's-eye.

Luo Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Xiaotian begged Your Majesty to let go of my friend, she is pure in nature, but she is just bewitched by others. ”

"Don't you want a bounty?" The emperor took another arrow and said.

"Xiaotian doesn't need a reward, just ask the emperor to let my friend go."

"You say she was bewitched, who is that person?" The emperor said with another arrow.

"I don't know." Luo Xiaotian replied.

"I'm afraid this matter is difficult to handle, the mastermind has not yet been determined, and the supervising officials are responsible. There are three divisions in the imperial court to review and handle this matter, and I have no right to interfere. ”

Luo Xiaotian had no choice but to take the risk of defrauding the king, and said bluntly: "That night, the emperor was a golden mouth, and he personally issued an imperial edict. The ministers were all present and listened, and they naturally would not go against the holy will, so please think twice before acting. ”

The emperor was really enraged, put down the bow and arrow in his hand and was about to shoot, Long Yan was displeased: "You are getting bolder and bolder, is this also what your master taught?" ”

"It's just for the majesty of the king, people say that the king has no jokes, Your Majesty is like this, so that the world can surrender."

"Clever words! Seeing that you are young and ignorant, you have also saved me, and I will not blame you for the time being. Give you another chance, whether to reward or save people. ”

"Save people." Luo Xiaotian replied without hesitation.

"Stubborn! As stubborn as that old fellow! Are you not afraid of offending the wrath of the Holy Saint? Will you be cured of the sin of deceit? The Emperor said angrily.

"Xiaotian is still those words, I hope Your Majesty will hear it correctly, and you will not joke." Luo Xiaotian's mind is hard to change.

"It seems that you have made up your mind, and I should have rewarded you with something, but I am disappointed in you. The Queen Mother also entrusted me with a marriage to you, obviously you did not want to, but had a deep affection for the female assassin. ”

Luo Xiaotian didn't even want the gold, silver and jewelry he was given, not to mention the temptation of beauty, and it was impossible to agree to the marriage, but his beloved girl was Zhao Susu.

"Your Majesty, that girl is not an assassin, she is just bewitched by others......"

Luo Xiaotian didn't finish speaking.

Suddenly, the Emperor drew the sword from the table and placed it around his neck in an instant. The cold light of the sword blade was overwhelming, and although he felt an icy chill penetrate into his shoulder blades, he was calm.

Seeing that he was calm and fearless, the emperor smiled evilly and said, "You can only choose to give a reward or a marriage, don't rush to answer me, I will give you time to think about it." ”
