Chapter 36: The Son of Heaven and the Sword of the Son of Heaven
Xu Shichang waited quietly outside the palace gate, perhaps because he was a little nervous, or because he had been grounded for too long, his face was even a little pale.
It has been more than half a year since he last entered the palace, and the past is still vivid, he has completely lost his previous elegant posture, and even seems a little vicissitudes.
All the officials of the previous dynasty have left, and only General Lin is left.
After a long time, General Lin walked out.
But Xu Shichang didn't notice it, Lin Pinggui looked at Xu Shichang quietly for a while, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked out of the palace gate.
It was a long time before Xu Shichang reacted when he looked at the back of General Lin leaving, and then walked into the main hall.
The hall of the North Palace was still so empty, he could even clearly see an elegant and handsome man walking towards him in despair, and on this passage, he experienced the ups and downs that ordinary people dare not imagine.
Xu Shichang walked into the hall and knelt on his knees, although he didn't say a word and seemed to be very unpolite, but he couldn't say a word, just knelt so quietly.
"Who is kneeling in the hall?" King Beichang asked in a hoarse voice as he looked at Xu Shichang.
It was difficult to raise his voice hoarsely, but he still raised his voice, as if no matter how hoarse he was, he could not lose a trace of majesty.
"Beichang Empire, Xu Shichang. Xu Shichang stood up and also watched King Beichang return loudly.
"Oh, it's my son, what are you here for?" asked King Beichang again.
"The unfilial son came to redress his grievances!" Xu Shichang still replied in a loud voice.
Hearing this, the father-in-law who was serving was frightened into a cold sweat, and everyone thought that Xu Shichang had entered the palace to thank him, but they didn't expect him to come to redress his grievances?
Everyone couldn't help but wonder if this prince was afraid that he was stupid.
In the current situation, anyone with a discerning eye can naturally see that King Beichang is preparing to pass on the throne to him, but he chooses to anger Long Wei at this juncture!
"What grievances do you have?" The strange thing is that King Beichang was not very angry when he heard this, but asked so simply.
"I implore the king to re-examine last year's case. ”
Xu Shichang didn't say that there was any grievance, but said that last year's case, but King Beichang naturally knew what he was going to say.
However, last year's incident has become an old case, and no one even dares to mention it, and the officials involved are no longer there, so where can we find out?
"Old man, you can't check it, check it yourself. After speaking, King Beichang took a sword from his side and threw it in front of Xu Shichang at random.
"This is the Sword of the Son of Heaven!" He Beichang!" Xu Shichang said blankly as he looked at the unsheathed and bladeless broadsword under his feet.
He Beichang ranked fifth in the sword spectrum, this sword is slightly wider than ordinary swords, without sheath and blade, it looks very heavy, and the sword body is not carved with any complex and exquisite patterns, but it naturally exudes a kingly atmosphere.
As the exclusive saber of the lords of the past dynasties, this sword was actually thrown to him by the king of Beichang at this time?
"Yes, it is He Beichang who picked up this sword. King Beichang stood up with difficulty and said loudly.
Xu Shichang looked at the sword, but he didn't mean to pick it up, but let it lie quietly on the ground.
He Beichang is the sword of the Son of Heaven, naturally only the Son of Heaven can pick up this sword, he doesn't understand why the King of Beichang wants to throw this sword to himself, but he also knows that the sword cannot be carried in the North Palace.
"I'll let you pick it up!" said King Beichang roared. After speaking, he supported the dragon chair with both hands and coughed painfully.
Xu Shichang picked up this sword with his hands trembling slightly, which was very unnatural.
"Say it again, what are you here for?"
"The unfilial son Xu Shichang came to redress his grievances. Xu Shichang is still unusually determined to repeat.
"Bastard, do you know why this sword is unsheathed?" asked King Beichang.
"I don't know. Xu Shichang replied.
"Only without a sheath can people see its existence, and this sword can always be displayed in front of the world, and the sword of the Son of Heaven is to let everyone see it! Because only by seeing can you be convinced, and since you have redressed your grievances, you must say it loudly in the morning, so that everyone knows that you have grievances, instead of playing with me here! Do you know why this sword has no blade?"
"I don't know. ”
"Because the sword of the Son of Heaven is not used to kill, but to deter! Without a blade, they will be afraid of when this sword will be cut! They will be afraid of what you will do after you take this sword and open it!
Let me tell you what this sword is going to do! The sword of the Son of Heaven, dare to fight with the sky!
To pick up this sword, you must have the courage to dare to fight between heaven and earth, instead of just complaining to me and crying grievances like you. I'll give you another chance, pick up this sword and kill me!Do what this sword should do, do what you have to do!" King Beichang's voice echoed in the hall, and it was hard to believe that this was a person who had been ill for a long time talking.
Xu Shichang is such a bladeless, unsheathed sword, but his first appearance was just to redress his grievances, which made the king of Beichang furious.
When the father-in-law who was serving next to him heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, let alone hearing any movement.
Xu Shichang looked at King Beichang who was panting on the stage, then looked down at the sword in his hand, and smiled a little bitterly.
"Father is too worried, I am not a son of heaven, and I am not worthy of picking up this sword, and I don't want to fight with anyone. Xu Shichang shook his head slightly, then threw the sword out of his hand, and didn't even look at it again.
After doing this, Xu Shichang turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall step by step.
At this time, Xu Shichang still has a trace of the eldest prince of the Beichang Empire, the future heir to the throne, looking more like a wronged child who wants his father to help him get justice.
King Beichang looked at this back, and suddenly felt a twitch in his heart, and slowly sat down on the dragon chair, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu Shichang slowly walked outside the palace gate, and then sat down, his legs drooping on the steps in front of him, his eyes full of loss.
"Sera?"
Suddenly, Xu Shichang saw a figure, and he could naturally recognize who that figure was.
It's just that what does he run?
Xu Shichang immediately got up and chased after him.
"What are you running?" Xu Shichang shouted as he chased behind.
It's rude to run and shout in the North Palace, but Xu Shichang obviously doesn't care about these now, he can figure out why Xu Shiliang is running, is he afraid of himself?
I don't know how long he ran, Xu Shichang stopped, not because he caught up with the figure, but because he came to a residence in the North Palace.
There are three big characters written on the door, Eternal Peace.
Although Yong'an House has been abandoned for a while, it has never been locked, and I just hope that the owner of this residence can go in and move in at any time when he returns.
Xu Shichang's palm gently rubbed the door in front of him, and the palm was wiped without any dust, and it seemed that someone often came to clean it.
Xu Shichang gently pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.
The yard is empty, although no one lives but it is not very cluttered, and it is very tidy.
Xu Shichang stood in the yard and watched for a long time, and there was a large pear tree in the yard.
The pear blossoms have just gone, but they have not yet borne fruit.
Xu Shichang walked under the tree and stared at the tree for a long time, then stretched out his hand to pluck a green leaf and gently put it in his mouth.
It's astringent, and it seems that this pear tree can read his mood.
Xu Shichang took this green leaf and slowly walked into the bedroom.
The inside is still spotlessly cleaned, and everything is placed very neatly, Xu Shichang knows that this kind of cleanliness can only be maintained when the owner of Yong'an Ju is away.
He was not used to the neatness of Yong'an Curie.
Xu Shichang put the green leaf on the table, and then slowly walked to the couch in front of the bed and sat down.
I don't know how long later, he just fell asleep on the couch.
Maybe he was tired, so he slept deeply.
The whole house was quiet, and all the sounds were clearly audible.
Occasionally, there would be a gentle breeze blowing the pear trees, and the green leaves on the table would flutter and sway in the wind.
"Your Majesty, the Great Prince has gone down to live in eternal peace. A father-in-law whispered.
At this time, the king of Beichang was still looking at the direction of Xu Shichang's departure, motionless and didn't know what he was thinking, and he slowly came back to his senses when he heard this voice.
"Let him go, leave him alone. King Beichang got up and said, and then walked towards the palace.
"Yes. ”
Spirit Academy.
"Uncle, did you say that incident was done by the eldest prince?" Yang Hejiu asked after thinking about it and looking at Mullan who was sleeping on the recliner.
"How do I know, I'm not an immortal, you should ask Lord Luna, he is the god of the moon, and he knows more than us mortals. Mullan, still lying down, waved his hand and said.
"Why do you feel like you don't care about it at all? Yang Hejiu asked again.
"How to care, what if you don't care, there is no way to investigate this matter, and it is useless to care, so leave this problem to themselves. Mullanzhou sighed and said helplessly.
"So what should we do?"
"What should you do? Have you forgotten what you should do? You received Ji Dongli's battle letter, and the sword I gave you was actually given to someone so easily, if you don't give it to him, he can still eat you?"
"It's... I lost, so I had to give him the sword, but I'll get it back. Yang Hejiu lowered his head and returned a little embarrassed.
"Ji Dongli is very strong, Xiao Jiu, I'll go back when I've beaten him. Mulan didn't know what to say after thinking for a while, and then he said such nonsense.
Of course, Mulanzhou's sentence is nonsense, who will send him to death when he can't beat it? Besides, if he doesn't fight, who can know if he can't beat him?
This is the battle agreement between Ji Dongli and Yang Hejiu, he can't give him much help, and that's all he can teach and do, and it depends on his personal understanding of how far he can go in the end.
"Yes, uncle, I'll get that sword back. Yang Hejiu stood up and saluted and said.
"Go and practice your sword, you don't have to be with me all day, an old man. Mullanzhou waved his hand and said.
"Wait, the sword is gone, I'm still practicing a fart, let's go cook, I'll talk about it after eating in a while." Mullanzhou saw that Yang Hejiu was about to get up and continued.
"Yes. Yang Hejiu said with a smile.
Then he walked into the kitchen.
