Chapter 414: The Old Man
When the news reached Yizhou, it caused a heated discussion in Yizhou officialdom, but no one knew that the initiator of this largest palace bloodshed in the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty was Mr. Tianji, who disappeared a few days ago.
As for the Wannian princess who died in Changtai Palace that night due to excessive fright, no one would have thought that she had already left the palace with Liu He and was on her way back to Yizhou at this time.
On a hidden path on the border of Yuzhou, two horses walked one after the other, and the men and women on the horses looked like a pair of young people who were having a temper, and neither of them would say a word to anyone.
Since they came out of the palace, Liu He and Qin Shuang have been silent like this, with the martial arts cultivation of the two of them today, they can feel the earth-shattering catastrophe in the Xuchang Palace, but neither of them wants to believe that the person who wielded a sword in the heavenly realm in the center of the dynasty is the old man with a kind face.
Fighting 100,000 forbidden troops with one person, the outcome can be imagined, unless it is really a god in the sky who descends to earth, but in this world, where do the gods come from?
Both of them understood that this was the great eunuch of Huangmenlang, who exchanged his own life for the lives of the two of them, but no one would have thought that the old man, who looked extremely kind, would have such a cultivation.
I knew that he could swing this sword from the heavens, what did Liu He say, and he would not just throw the old man alone in Changtai Palace.
A breeze drifted by, and the ancestor of the Chen family floated in, stopping not far from the path.
Liu He saw the ancestor of the Chen family, seemed to understand something, urged the horse to come closer, turned over and dismounted, but looked at the ancestor of the Chen family silently, and did not say a word.
"Let's talk as we go." The ancestor of the Chen family said, turned around and walked slowly.
Liu He frowned, seemed to be a little speechless and stopped, and caught up with the ancestor of the Chen family in a few steps, but in the end, he still didn't speak.
"He could have avoided dying." The old ancestor of the Chen family suddenly said softly.
Liu He silently followed behind the old ancestor of the Chen family, of course he knew that with the old man's cultivation, he could completely drag the forbidden army in the imperial city, and when he and Qin Shuang escaped from the palace, the old man would be able to retreat with his whole body.
"But he chose to die in the palace, do you know why he did it?" The ancestor of the Chen family turned his head and looked at Liu He with a calm face.
"He's here to save the princess's reputation." Liu He didn't dare to look up at the eyes of the Chen family's ancestors.
"Reputation?" The corners of the Chen family's ancestor showed a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, "From the moment you insisted on going to Xuchang, there was no longer such a person as a princess of ten thousand years in this world, how could she get her reputation?" ”
"He's protecting you." Qin Shuang stepped forward and said softly.
Liu He was shocked when he heard this, and the figure of the old man in a red official robe kept appearing in his mind, but he was stunned and couldn't say a word.
The ancestor of the Chen family sighed lightly, "Yes, he did this, he just didn't want to push you to the cusp, the news that everyone in Yuzhou knew was a rumor that deliberately leaked out of the palace, and there was not a word in it that mentioned you, Mr. Tianji, who said everything in Yizhou, at this time, his good intentions, don't you understand?" ”
Liu He was silent, but he was already trembling.
The old ancestor of the Chen family turned his head, looked at Qin Shuang a few times, and said softly, "You are his apprentice?" ”
Qin Shuang nodded slightly, "When I was six years old, I followed him to learn the sword. ”
"How many swords did he teach you?" The old ancestor of the Chen family stared at Qin Shuang tightly, as if he was looking forward to the answer to this question.
Qin Shuang picked up the long sword in his hand and stroked it a few times, "Since the age of six, one sword has been passed down a year, a total of thirteen swords, and when the sword was completed at the age of nineteen, he gave me this sword." ”
The old ancestor of the Chen family looked at the long sword in Qin Shuang's hand, hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand, "This sword, can you let me take a look?" ”
Qin Shuang presented the sword with both hands, and the Chen family's ancestor stopped in mid-air, but in the end he didn't take it.
"Forget it, this sword is the sword of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty back then, and it is not something that people like us should touch, so I still don't look at it." The ancestor of the Chen family flicked his sleeves and didn't look at the delicate long sword.
Qin Shuang still held the sword in front of the old ancestor of the Chen family, and did not put it down, "Master, his old man said that this sword he once wanted to give to a close friend, I think the best friend that Master and his old man said should be your predecessor." ”
The old ancestor of the Chen family turned his head suddenly, and his voice trembled: "Did he really say that?" ”
Qin Shuang nodded affirmatively, "Master is in the palace, never walks around with people outside the palace, in the past eighteen years, except for a few little eunuchs on duty in Changtai Palace, I have never seen him talk to other people, I think the best friend he said should have been met before he entered the palace." ”
The old ancestor of the Chen family raised his head, looked at the sky and sighed, "Old thing, you haven't forgotten me in the past eighteen years." ”
Qin Shuang walked up a few steps and held the long sword in front of the ancestor of the Chen family, "This sword was originally given to the seniors by the master. ”
The ancestor of the Chen family took the long sword, held it in his hand and looked at it, there was a little more vicissitudes in his eyes, "Do you know what it means that he passed on all the thirteen swords to you?" ”
Qin Shuang was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"Eighteen years ago, he brought his young daughter to see me. I proposed to compete with him, and he told me that when my daughter grew up, he would pass on all the thirteen swords he had learned all his life to his daughter, and he would have no worries in this life, and then he could let go of his hands and feet and have a life-and-death battle with me. The old man with a white beard slowly handed the long sword back to Qin Shuang's hand, smiling kindly, "In his heart, you are already his biological daughter." ”
As Qin Shuang took the long sword, tears also slipped from his eyes.
"I came today, first, I want to see the daughter of the deceased, this is the second ......" the ancestor of the Chen family said, and walked in front of Liu He, "I want to remind you, in addition to the identity of Mr. Tianji, don't forget, you are still the leader of the martial arts alliance in this world." ”
Liu He's brows furrowed slightly, but he couldn't think of the intention of the Chen family's ancestor for a while.
The old ancestor of the Chen family smiled faintly, "I heard that you invited that nerd of the Zhao family to Yizhou, but now it seems that that old guy didn't teach you any real skills, unlike me, as soon as we met, I gave you a big gift." When you go back and go to the person surnamed Zhao, you will say that I said that I have read so many books in my life, and when I die, I will bring them all into the coffin, and this life will be considered a vain. ”
After that, the ancestor of the Chen family waved his sleeves and floated away silently, and by the time Liu He came back to his senses, he had already disappeared.
Five days later, Liu He and Qin Shuang traveled day and night, and hurried back to Chengdu. ()
