CHAPTER XXII

Lady Diemeng said: "And on the eve of Emperor Wu's soldiers preparing to go to Yequan, they suddenly died violently for no apparent reason. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When Xuan Jing heard this, he nodded slightly, his ancestor died violently before the expedition, which was one of the several major unsolved cases in this dynasty. The imperial court has always claimed to the outside world that he was infected with a violent illness and died, and the temple of the Jin Kingdom praised his martial arts during his lifetime, and was nicknamed Emperor Wu of Jin. But every time I heard adults talking or talking about the death of Emperor Wu, they were secretive and silent.

When Diemeng said this, he hesitated a little and looked at Liu Xiang, only to see Liu Xiang sitting there motionless without any expression on his face.

Diemeng had no choice but to continue: "Actually, Emperor Wu was not infected with a violent disease, but was assassinated in the palace by human beings, and there were many guards in the palace at that time, and the masters were like clouds. It is said that Ye Zhunnai, the commander of the Shenji Battalion back then, was one of the top five masters in the world, and he actually let the assassin succeed under such vigilance, and he was able to escape calmly, which shows the high martial arts of this assassin, which is really shocking. ”

Curious, Huiqin asked, "Did you know the identity of this assassin later?" ”

Diemeng looked at Liu Xiang and said slowly: "The person who did this assassination was the sect master of the Muyun Regiment at that time, Liu Xiang's senior. ”

When Xuanjing and Huiqin heard this, they both said, "Ah! An exclamation. Xuan Jing stood up even more in shock, staring at Liu Xiang with his eyes, and his mind was in chaos.

At this time, Liu Xiang also looked at Xuan Jing for a long time before he spoke: "Since ancient times, the emperor has become famous and his bones have withered, and the emperor is only for his own hegemony, but he doesn't know how many soldiers are buried in other places and how many people are displaced with a wave of his hand. ”

"Since the old man was the sect master of the Muyun Group at that time, the way he held was to protect the common people, in order to avoid the destruction of the living souls, he sneaked into the palace and killed the tyrant, even today, the old man has never regretted it!"

Although many years have passed, Liu Xiang is still full of energy when he says this. Xuan Jing looked at Liu Xiang and his heart moved. Although the old man in front of him was the enemy who killed his ancestor, Xuan Jing could hardly have a trace of hatred for him in his heart.

Yes, since ancient times, the conquest between countries has mostly been determined by the will and preferences of the emperor or a small number of people, but a war between countries has to take many irrelevant human lives. History books often praise those kings who unify the world, but never mention the innocent people under their feet.

Grandpa Liu Xiang is clothed but has the world in his heart, and as soon as the long sword comes out, he kills the tyrant. Although this tyrant is his own ancestor, Xuan Jing still thinks that this grandfather Liu Xiang is a real hero! He killed one person to save the world, even if he was imprisoned for many years, he did not lose his sharpness in the slightest.

At this time, Xuan Jing remembered the oath that his father made him in the palace, "to protect the world as his responsibility, not to be afraid of the strong, not to bully the weak, not to avoid the doctor, not to lose the courtesy, to lose his life, and not to change his original intention." Although it is just a few crosses, it can really be done, and there are a few people throughout history!

Diemeng sighed, "You should all know what happened later, Muyun Tuan was listed as taboo by the Jin Kingdom, wanted and pursued by the whole country, and many warriors were innocently killed. ”

"Of course, after the death of Emperor Wu, the current emperor's father, Emperor Hui, succeeded to the throne and has always pursued the way of recuperation. After Emperor Hui, the current emperor also pursued recuperation and less sword soldiers. It can also be said that the old sect master used his own strength to exchange for fifty years of peaceful life in the world. ”

Liu Xiang smiled bitterly, "It's old, it's useless to talk about it, Fluttershy, you know what I want you to say, about Jing'er, I think it's better for you to tell him." ”

Xuan Jing's heart tightened at this time, remembering that Aunt Diemeng had said so much, although it was thrilling and sounded exciting, but after all, it was all some old things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, and it had nothing to do with the things in front of him. The important thing right now is how to get out of the city.

Diemeng nodded, reached out and took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Xuan Jing, and said: "Jing'er, this is a token left to you by Her Royal Highness the princess before her death, I hope that one day you can return to Huangzhou." ”

Xuan Jing heard that this bag was a relic left by his mother, so he naturally cherished it, carefully took it and held it in his hand, and opened it with some trembling. I saw an iron ring in the bag, Xuan Jing was a little curious, took it in his hand and looked at it, only to feel that the weight was a little heavy, and there was a tiger head engraved on the wrench, which was extremely powerful, Xuan Jing felt that this tiger was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"This is the ring of the Khan King of Rouran, there are only four in the world, which are held by the four Khan kings under the Great Khan of Rouran, and Princess Kite has made great contributions to the country back then. Although she is a female streamer, she was exceptionally crowned as the only female Khan king of Rouran! ”

"This wrench is the token of the Khan King, which can be hereditary, and holding this ring is the Great Khan King of the Rouran Kingdom, and the tiger head on it is also a unique emblem of the Rouran Kingdom. Jing'er, the tattoo behind you, the colorful tiger that usually looms, in the country of Rouran, it is also a privilege that only the Great Khan can enjoy. ”

Xuan Jing suddenly realized that he didn't know the secret of the tattoo behind him until this moment. It turns out that there are so many stories hidden in this, no wonder my father has been asked many times before, but my father refuses to tell him. Xuan Jing thought of his father, his heart couldn't help but hurt, his eyes were a little sour, tears were about to gush out, he hurriedly turned around and stole it, and gently wiped it with the corner of his sleeve.

Mengdie looked at Liu Xiang again and asked, "Old Sect Master, you said that you want to go out of the city tonight, I don't know what the plan is, out of Diji, where are you going to go?" ”

Liu Xiang smiled, "There is no clever plan, but I think that tonight is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and the Emperor will definitely be very lively, even if there are more guards at several city gates, not everyone will check carefully." The three of us dressed up a little, presumably it shouldn't be a big problem to get out of the city, even if we were found out of the hiding, forgive those guards guarding the city, it didn't matter, the old man didn't see it yet. ”

"As for where to go after leaving the city, I want to go to Yequan first, where the Grand Lieutenant of the Jingluo Academy, Philadelphia, is my disciple. I want to settle Jing'er for him, learn the art of war for a few years in the Jingluo Academy, and when Jing'er becomes an adult, the path at that time should be chosen by himself, not us. ”

Mengdie nodded, agreeing with Liu Xiang's words in her heart. In any case, this Tegi is not a place to stay for long. Yequan has always been a neutral country, and there are no swords and soldiers with other countries. Although Xuan Jing is wanted everywhere in the Jin Kingdom at the moment, he can still live a normal life by changing his name casually when he arrives in Yequan.

The Jingluo Academy in Naye Spring is famous all over the world, and it is the best martial arts school in the world. Historically, half of the high-ranking generals of various countries have come from the Yequan Academy. Half of the masters who were in charge of teaching in the academy were old and famous, or they were not reused by the lord, or they avoided the enemy and moved to Yequan to teach in the academy.

Not to mention, Prince Cheng Xuanbu studied in the Yequan State Academy of Economics and Strategy when he was young, and Xuanjing's cousin Xuanyu also just returned from the Academy of Classics. However, Xuanyu should be regarded as a relatively unsuccessful example among the students of the Academy.

Mengdie looked at Huiqin again and said, "Miss Huiqin, what are your plans now?" If you don't want to leave Tegi, I can help you arrange a place to go, after all, this matter has nothing to do with you. Jing'er and they are going, but the end of the world is far away, and the future is extremely dangerous. ”

Hearing this, Huiqin hurriedly stood up and said, "Aunt Mengdie, don't say that His Royal Highness the Prince has a life-saving grace for Huiqin. Just because His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is not humble as a little woman, and entrusts the little woman with the life of Gu before he dies, the little woman must not give up His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Huiqin came all the way from her hometown in Jizhou to Diji, what kind of danger has she never seen, and she can still cope with it. What's more, His Royal Highness is still young, and he also needs someone to take care of him, what do you say? ”

Mengdie actually knew Huiqin's friendship with Xuanjing for a long time, but she never broke it. Now that I have heard Huiqin say so resolutely, I have put my heart at ease.

After carefully discussing the details of the escape in the room, they packed their bags and went out of the city at night, taking advantage of the large number of people in the city.

Digi is among the four seas, gathering the world's business travel. With a population of millions, it is the largest capital city in the world. This Shangyuan Lantern Festival is the first festival of the new year, in previous years, on the day of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, all the chambers of commerce in the city should organize skilled craftsmen, in the city market or the street to tie up a big lantern, write the name of the chamber of commerce, free for people to visit, but also for their own name. This is a double win, and everyone is happy to do it.

Although after the case of Prince Cheng, the martial law of Emperor Ji has been under martial law for more than a month, and many princes in the city are silent, but since it is not easy to wait for the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, everyone still wants to go to the street to see the lanterns.

It also has the traditional customs of the Jin Kingdom, and the day of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival is inexorable, which means that if young men and women see a favorite object on the street, they can express their affection on the spot, and if both parties have a good feeling, they can ask a matchmaker to come to the door to propose. It is the peak period of the annual Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the months after the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

Of course, there are inevitably prodigal disciples who pick out other people's daughters who come out on this day. It's just that Diji is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it has always been heavily guarded, and most of the fate of such people is to let the officials of Jingzhao Mansion Yin beat them up, and then close them in the yamen's cell overnight, and notify their families to come and ransom them the next morning. Therefore, within a few days after the Shangyuan Festival, the business of the bone-setting doctors in Digi City was also extremely hot.

Xuan Jing and the others cleaned up early and had dinner. It wasn't until most of the time had passed, watching the sky gradually darken, and when the lights on the street were on, that they came out of the back door of Baihualou.

Mengdie's original intention was to send them all the way and watch them out of the city. But Liu Xiang resolutely refused to allow it, saying that if he was bumped into and recognized, it would be inconvenient to have Mengdie by his side. It was a dream butterfly that could only watch them and their group out of the Hundred Flowers Building, since then the rivers and lakes have been long, I don't know when we can see each other again, I can't help but feel a trace of melancholy in my heart, sigh lightly, but tears can't help but flow......
