Chapter 206: Misfortune Leads to the East
The palace is still a lofty pavilion with towering floors, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, it is sprinkled on the golden beast and dragon to add a bit of majesty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The lanterns in the eaves of the palace pavilion have been lit, and in the evening breeze, the red lanterns swayed with a faint halo, jumping lightly between the glazed jade palms with the remnant sun, reflecting a blurry brilliance.
Walking in this long-lost deep palace, Liu Xi's heart that should have been nervous gradually calmed down for some reason, maybe this is the situation of thinking too much about meeting the Tang Emperor, and now he really wants to see it, but he no longer has the previous nervousness and uneasiness.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a low cry in his ears, and the crisp sound was like the cry of a yellow bird, and in the evening breeze full of the fragrance of flowers and plants, it made people feel comfortable.
Turning his head to look, a beautiful shadow flashed into Liu Xi's eyes, the green Luo cloud shirt was tied to the waist, the hand was wrapped around the fragrant shoulder, and a jasper hairpin was obliquely placed on the head, and the thin silver silk beaded tassel was decorated with it, which continued to swing with the pair of lotus show bead shoes.
I haven't seen her for a long time, but Princess Lan Jin is becoming more and more beautiful.
Seeing the old acquaintance, Liu Xi couldn't help but feel a little more cordial in his heart, turned around and stepped forward, bent over and saluted, "I've seen Princess Lan Jin." ”
As soon as Liu Xi raised his head, there was a refreshing dark fragrance in front of his nose, and then he saw the pair of lotus feet that were about to step in front of him and took a few steps back in a panic.
Ahead, that gaze seemed to hide the entire boundless spring mood.
Liu Xi was a little inexplicably embarrassed by this feeling, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, only standing there with a smile on his face.
"Liu Xi, is there any misunderstanding in this, you tell me, I'll talk to my father about ......"
Thinking about it, Li Mengxiao had already heard some rumors, so the situation was extremely unfavorable for him, but he didn't know what kind of plans Emperor Tang had in his heart.
The world is unpredictable, but judging from today's 'flying armor' move, Liu Xi can vaguely guess that Emperor Tang has anger in his heart because of the Northern Xinjiang incident, otherwise, he would not have given the worship house the slightest affection.
Looking at the Linhua Hall surrounded by the diffuse night and lights in front of him, Liu Xi couldn't help but lament, this time the imperial capital is going to be more dangerous than imagined.
"Liu Xi, you're talking!"
Perhaps seeing that Liu Xi didn't speak for a long time, Li Mengxiao took a few steps forward anxiously, and his slender hand grabbed Liu Xi's arm and shook it vigorously.
Immediately, like a spring breeze, it shook the flowers and plants in the garden, and the dark fragrance was better than before.
It's just that there is still the 'flying armor' square-faced lieutenant behind him, Li Mengxiao's behavior made Liu Xi have to shake his head with a wry smile, and at the same time withdraw his arm, "These changes have happened in the north, Liu Xi will not escape the blame, the saint is wise, and he will give a clear judgment if he thinks about right and wrong, and he will not make Liu Xi suffer that unjustified grievance." ”
Hearing Liu Xi's words, Li Mengxiao's beautiful face was not less worried at all, but seeing that Liu Xi was full of peace, he couldn't help but stomp a few times, "No, I'll accompany you to see my father, I'll be on my side, my father may be able to listen to some words!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Xi's brows furrowed unconsciously, Li Mengxiao said this, which made him a little more worried, it seems that Emperor Tang is angry at the moment, and this time I am afraid that he will bear the brunt of this holy wrath dragon power that can easily determine life and death.
It seems that the deaths of Zhanfu and Li Yunhe really set off a monstrous wave in the Li Tang court.
Secretly thinking to himself, Liu Xi saw that Li Mengxiao in front of him once again pasted his anxious face, and hurriedly took a few steps back and shook his hand, "Liu Xi thanked the princess for her kindness, but it is a matter for the saint to see me, and I am afraid that if the princess is with me, I will be talked about." ”
Li Mengxiao opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only stomp on the lotus foot again, and repeatedly warned Liu Xi with worry not to contradict the Tang Emperor.
Liu Xi responded, at this time, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be stupid enough to ask for hardship and argue with the Tang Emperor.
Farewell to Li Mengxiao, Liu Xi continued to walk towards the palace under the escort of the 'flying armor' captain, it seemed that because of Li Mengxiao, the terrifying and majestic look on the captain's face was greatly eased, which made people not look very bored.
The white jade class went up to the high hall, and Liu Xi walked through the steps in front of the Linhua Hall several times, but he never walked as a prisoner. Walking on the steps that had been hidden in the night, although there were jade lights on both sides, Liu Xi still couldn't see the situation in the Linhua Palace.
However, the dragon beast on the head of the palace made Liu Xi's heart, which was originally tending to be quiet, a little turbulent.
Finally, the steps came to an end, and as if he heard a movement, Zhang Lishi, who was squinting in front of the temple door as if he had already taken a nap, turned around.
After not seeing him for many days, Zhang Lishi was a little richer, but his face was quite haggard, and it was no wonder that he could fall asleep while standing.
"I've seen Grandpa Zhang."
As in the past, Liu Xi made a gesture with that Zhang Lishi, and said gently, the person in front of the emperor, it will not be a bad thing to be polite to him.
Seeing Liu Xi, when Zhang Lishi's eyes swept away the tiredness, he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and lowered his sharp voice, "Little Lord Liu, why are you involved in this big deal, the emperor has been in full swing recently, but you have to be more careful!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Xi immediately thanked him, and Zhang Lishi shook off the dust in his hand, walked to the front of the Linhua Palace, and cautiously bowed down to report to the palace, "Emperor, Liu Xi has arrived from Zhenbei." ”
"Let him in!"
A dull voice came from inside the hall, with a majesty that could not be desecrated, but also with an indelible tiredness and hoarseness.
Walking forward, Liu Xi and Zhang Lishi arched their hands again and said softly, "I'm tired, Grandpa Zhang." ”
Stepping over the high threshold, in the Linhua Palace, the lights in the bronze beast lamp were burning quietly, and the squeaky sound was even clearer in this hall.
On the high platform, Tang Emperor Li Shangon was subdued, his face was pale, and his eyes were angry and threatening, which made people shudder.
Walking to a place three feet away from the high platform, Liu Xi bent over and saluted, "The criminal minister Liu Xi has seen the saint." ”
The voice was just the stone cow entering the sea, and there was silence in the Linhua Palace, the Tang Emperor was silent, and Liu Xi had no other way but to continue to maintain the momentum of saluting.
Above his head, there was still that fierce gaze that was about to pierce the muscles and bones.
After a long time, there was a crisp sound of 'popping' like a boulder thrown into the calm lake, rippling through the hall.
This is the sound of a hand hitting the armrest of the dragon chair.
Immediately, Liu Xi's deep voice came from the Tang Emperor's ears, "Guilty? What are your sins? ”
"The criminal's failure to stop Guan Shanhou in time has caused many of my Ying'er souls to be cut off from foreign lands, and I also ask the Holy Lord to punish him."
The gaze above was a little more majestic, as if Emperor Tang wanted to use his gaze to see Liu Xi thoroughly clearly, "That's it?" ”
knew what Emperor Tang was referring to, but Liu Xi made up his mind, kept silent about the matter with Li Yunhe, and pleaded guilty with trepidation, "This is Liu Xi's dereliction of duty, and I hope that the saint will punish him." ”
"Smack!"
The sound was a little heavier than before, and Emperor Tang stood up from the dragon chair, his wide sleeved robe flicked over, and the golden dragon followed with his teeth and claws.
"Punishment, how do you let me punish you, in your northern land, first the Marquis of Guan Shan and the 'Guangwu' army were wiped out, and then the deacons of the Enshrinement Yuan and my ancestor of the Li family died with hatred! I don't understand, how can these things have something to do with you Liu Xi, I can't be too much to kill you! ”
Under the loud sound, the murderous aura of the Ninety-Five Venerable also followed.
Naturally, Liu Xi's best way to deal with it is to ask for guilt again, "The criminal is afraid." ”
"Panic, panic, can you say anything but fear? Do you know how important the deacon of the temple is! Do you know how valuable the ancestor of the Li family of Lingxiao Pavilion is! I've lived all these years, but I've only seen my ancestors a few times. Since the beginning of the Li Tang Dynasty, there has never been an ancestor falling, but I didn't expect to let me meet it, how can you let me explain! ”
Two cave masters, more than a dozen grandmasters, such strength is an extremely terrifying existence anywhere, and now that he is dying, when Tang Emperor Li Shan is in power, he really has to sit still.
Because there is a Lingxiao Pavilion in Li Tangshen's palace.
Gasping for breath, Tang Huang sat back on the dragon chair, as if his words just now had made him feel a catharsis in his heart, and he stared at Liu Xi silently again.
And a thought suddenly flashed in Liu Xi's mind, a way to turn the danger into a disaster.
"Holy Lord, there is a matter that the sinner does not know whether to talk about or not."
"Say!"
With his mind spinning quickly, Liu Xi quickly said what he was about to say, "Holy Lord, in fact, the reason why the Xiongnu went south was because someone in the court had collusion with Nuhar. ”
As soon as the words fell, Tang Huang suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, and the anger in his eyes was even greater, "Who dares to do this!" ”
Seeing Emperor Tang's reaction, Liu Xi knew that he could continue to lead the troubles to the east, anyway, he had a secret letter in his hand from the white-faced fox, and the ironclad evidence was so, he should be ninety percent sure of leaving Emperor Tang's investigation aside.
"The sinners dare not say it."
"I forgive you for your innocence, don't come quickly!"
In this way, it is exactly what Liu Xi wants, and when he said the secret letter, don't add fuel and vinegar to this kind of thing, after he finished speaking, Tang Huang's face was already gloomy and scary.
"Bold!"
An angry roar sounded in the hall, and the armrest of the dragon chair was also violently broken by Emperor Tang.
Kneeling on the ground, Liu Xi leaned over and said in a panic, "The sinner is panicking." ”
It was as if the storm had struck, and the hall had become quiet again, but this silence was extremely oppressive.
"Where's MeSign?"
took out the secret letter that he was holding close to his body from his arms, and Liu Xi raised his hands above his head, "Holy Lord, this is the secret letter." ”
"Bring it on!"
Zhang Lishi, who had been waiting outside the hall, hurriedly trotted into the hall, took the secret letter from Liu Xi's hand, and carefully handed it to the Tang Emperor.
Seeing the secret letter, a trace of despair flashed in Emperor Tang's eyes, as if the last hope had been lost, and only discouragement remained.
"Why didn't you report this to me sooner?"
"The criminal minister is afraid of the traitor's actions and pretends to be a false act, and the second is afraid that it will affect the foundation of our dynasty, so he does not dare to say half a sentence to outsiders. Now that the minister had made a big mistake, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to share his worries for the saint in the future, so he risked his life to present this secret letter, so that the saint could detect the traitor's plan and bless me Li Tang Jiangshan. ”
Zhang Lishi, who had just entered the hall, was frightened at the moment, and couldn't help but look at Liu Xi again, how could so many things have happened to this champion.
However, even if such things are known, who dares to say nonsense, whether it is so or not, it will lead to death, and it is human nature to say it until now.
It's just bitter for the emperor.
Sighing in his heart, Zhang Lishi lowered his head again and became a deaf man's ear.
In the main hall, no one spoke, and under the silence, as if deliberately naughty, the evening breeze slipped into the Linhua Palace, and dodged the lights in all directions.
After a while, on the dragon chair, Emperor Tang waved his hand extremely tiredly, "Put him in the dark prison first, and wait for him to fall!" ”
When Zhang Lishi heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to take Liu Xi down, and when he returned to the palace, Emperor Tang was staring at the flickering lights in a daze.
"Did the Worship Courtyard say that the northern land was done by Liu Han's people before?"
"Back to the emperor, Lord Derivation sent someone to say this earlier."
"Okay, I know, you go down."
Waving his hand and retreating Zhang Lishi, Tang Huang sat alone on the dragon chair, holding the secret letter in his hand, and his face was withered as if he was a few years older.
