Chapter 720: Fireworks in the World
The sudden death of the Empress Dowager Song was even more sudden than the fall of King Chuhui. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info As the body of the Empress Dowager Song gradually disappeared, a cold breath quietly blew up in the palace, making people feel chills for a while. Chun day has ended, summer has come, but somehow, the weather suddenly changed its face, the yin wind roared, the clouds were bleak, and it rained lightly, which made people's hearts a little hairy.
Xiao Tianzi guarded the body of the Empress Dowager Song, not crying, not laughing, not sleeping, and not moving. He was like a puppet who had lost his soul, sitting motionless on the main hall of Changle Palace. No one dared to touch him, and even walked on tiptoe.
After the general Song Feng's family heard the news, they rushed to the palace as soon as possible. They were stunned by the news and didn't know what to do with it. At the critical moment, Cao Luan picked up the burden, and on the one hand, he sent people to invite the third prince to discuss the funeral of the Empress Dowager Song, and on the other hand, he asked people to rush to Jiangling immediately, and asked the Wei general Cao CÄo to rush back to Luoyang immediately to preside over the event. Now that there are internal and external troubles, someone must sit in charge of Beijing and maintain stability.
Fortunately, in these years, the ministers have been accustomed to the inaction of the Son of Heaven, and after a short period of panic, they were busy under the leadership of Situ Luzhi, erecting a mourning hall, organizing hundreds of officials to perform their duties, entering the palace in order to pay tribute, issuing edicts to various states and counties, and mourning according to regulations, and the princes and kings entered Beijing to attend the funeral.
The palace was silent, no one dared to show a smile, they were busy silently, for fear of a mistake.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Xiu walked in lightly, bowed down, and saluted the little Tianzi. After saluting, he didn't raise his body, but looked at Xiao Tianzi's dull face, and called softly: "Your Majesty? ā
Xiao Tianzi slowly raised his head, looked directly at Yang Xiu, and after a long time, he asked blankly, "Yang Xiu, what's the matter?" ā
Yang Xiu blinked his eyes and confirmed that Xiao Tianzi could understand what he was talking about now, and then asked, "Your Majesty." The queen mother, is for the national mourning, the princes and kings will be mourned, this is easy to say, just send someone to give a talisman, this ...... What should the King of Chu do? He is now injured and has not recovered, and the funeral of King Chu Hui is not over, is it for him to ...... Don't come yet? ā
Yang Xiu's words were very careful. He knew that Xiao Tianzi was now jealous of Liu Xiu. Before he has enough strength to confront Liu Xiu, he is afraid that he may not be willing to meet Liu Xiu. Empress Dowager Song, according to the etiquette system, Liu Xiu should go to Beijing, it is unorthodox not to let him come, if Xiao Tianzi is allowed to say this, not only is it unreasonable in the system, but also weakens his own momentum, at this time, he has to find a suitable reason for Xiao Tian. If Xiao Tianzi agrees with him. He would go to Sangong to discuss and not let Liu Xiu come to Beijing. There is no need for Xiao Tianzi to come forward to avoid direct conflict between the two sides.
Hearing the word King of Chu, Xiao Tianzi, who had always been a little distracted, was agitated and regained a little anger. He straightened up, deep in thought. Yang Xiu didn't dare to interrupt him, so he had to take two steps back to make Xiao Tianzi's eyes quiet. so as not to disturb his train of thought.
After a long while, Xiao Tianzi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled silently. But it's worse than crying. "The Queen Mother has great trust in the King of Chu, and the King of Chu is also loyal to the Queen Mother, and now that the Queen Mother has passed away, how can the King of Chu not come. issued an edict and invited him to the funeral. In addition, the Queen Mother has always been very fond of Liu He, and asked her to give the Queen Mother a ride. I think this should be the wish of the Queen Mother. ā
Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked Xiao Tianzi with his eyes if he really thought so. Xiao Tianzi nodded vigorously, and waved his sleeves: "Go and do it." ā
"Yui." Although Yang Xiu was puzzled, he didn't dare to slack off. He could feel that in a moment, Xiao Tianzi had regained his resoluteness, and that immature, but unquestionable royal bearing, returned to him in an instant.
ā¦ā¦
In the middle of the night, Xiao Tianzi came to the secret room again, and sat down opposite Yongshi silently, but did not vomit into silence as usual. He looked at Yong's strange face and didn't say a word. Yongshi opened his eyes and glanced at him lightly: "What's the matter?" ā
Her tone was very calm, no different from usual, as if it was not her who killed the Empress Dowager Song with one palm last night. From this day, the palace was busy, but it was as quiet as ever, and she probably guessed that Xiao Tianzi's mind was that she didn't regard the death of the Empress Dowager Song as a major event at all. On the contrary, there was a little more appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Tianzi at this moment, and he seemed to feel that this young man not only had good physical qualifications, but also met the requirements of cultivation.
"The queen mother, all the princes and kings are going to mourn, and he will come." Xiao Tianzi's voice was a little dry, far from being as crisp as Pingri, and it seemed that overnight, he had changed from a young boy to an adult.
"That couldn't be better." Yongshi let go of the hand of the seal, and the corners of his mouth provoked a sneer, with her black face, it was even more obvious under the green light.
"Is Master ready?" Xiao Tianzi's tone gradually became smoother. "He's a cautious person, and there will only be one chance like this, not a second one."
"Just once is enough." Yong's eyes narrowed and said casually.
Xiao Tianzi paused, and then said, "The disciple wants to remind the master." Although he is not high in Taoism, he can be said to have the courage of ten thousand people in martial arts. His injuries have healed and his body has recovered, but he is not like my mother, who has no strength to fight back. I don't know if the master is still sure of victory. ā
Yong's eyebrows raised slightly, inexplicably a little upset. These days, she has been meditating in the secret room, but except for the improvement of the injuries on her body, the recovery of the realm has not been very good. Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked going out of the secret room to kill the Empress Dowager Song last night, a heart-destroying spell would solve the problem. If the Dao technique is insufficient, you can only fight close to the distance. And close-range fighting is not an easy task for her, especially in the face of a master like Liu Xiu. In the past, the reason why she had an advantage over Liu Xiu was not because her fists and feet were better than Liu Xiu, but because her cultivation realm surpassed Liu Xiu too much, she was faster and more powerful than Liu Xiu, no matter what Liu Xiu had in terms of tricks, she could ignore it. But now the situation is different, yesterday Xiao Tianzi suddenly attacked, and hit with one blow, even if she was defenseless at the time, but Liu Xiu's martial arts skills are not comparable to Xiao Tianzi. When she and Liu Xiu fought in close quarters, would Liu Xiu still have no power to fight back like before?
"It's a pity that Hua Tuo is dead." Yongshi suddenly sighed faintly.
Xiao Tianzi didn't answer her words, but he heard what she meant. Hua Tuo was killed by Liu Xiu because he killed Yingzi's mother, and if he was still there, he might be able to do something by taking the opportunity to see Liu Xiu.
"So, Shizun is not sure?"
Yongshi hesitated for a moment and comforted: "Don't worry, as long as he enters the palace, I will definitely be able to kill him." It's not that that you have to worry about, it's how you're going to be able to control the situation after he's dead. Yong waved his hand and interrupted Xiao Tianzi. I can't help you with this. It may be okay to kill one or two people, but if you want me to travel thousands of miles and kill Liu Xiu's people one by one, I don't have the strength. ā
Xiao Tianzi raised his eyebrows. This was not the case that Yongshi promised him at the beginning, he wanted to question Yongshi, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words back. This person is not reasonable at all, and there is no point in theorizing with her.
"Can the master guarantee success?"
"You can rest assured of this." Yongshi sneered, "I'm injured, isn't his realm also completely ruined?" Can he still let out a tiger roar? If that's the case, then I can only accept my fate, otherwise, it will be easy for me to take his life. ā
Xiao Tianzi didn't say anything more, bowed down and saluted: "Then please ask the master to recuperate." The queen mother died, the funerals in the palace were complicated, and the disciples couldn't come to practice. If there is any negligence, please forgive me. As he spoke, he took out a package from behind him: "These are some snacks prepared by the disciple for the master to eat when the master is hungry." I'll send some more if I can find time. ā
These Rizi Yong's diets are all brought by Xiao Tianzi, although she doesn't eat much, but after all, it has not reached the point of not eating fireworks in the world. If Xiao Tianzi can't come often, just with these snacks he just brought, she will inevitably go hungry. However, Xiao Tianzi is also reasonable, no matter how respectful he is in front of her, out of this secret room, he is the emperor who reigns over the world, he is the emperor who reigns in the world, he calls and hugs each other, and his every move is eye-catching, and it is impossible to come here alone like before.
Seeing that the Yong clan was embarrassed, Xiao Tianzi hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, I will immediately arrange for people to regularly sacrifice Lao Tzu and Futu, and when the master is hungry, there can also be sacrifices to temporarily satisfy hunger." As soon as I can pull out, I will also come to see the Master. ā
Yongshi was helpless, so he had to reluctantly respond. Xiao Tianzi bowed again, and then respectfully withdrew. Out of the secret room, the corners of his mouth were raised, and a sneer flashed in his originally awe-struck eyes, and then he returned to normal and hurriedly walked out. Wen Chou held the knife and waited outside the ancestral hall, and when he saw that Xiao Tianzi came out so quickly, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. However, he was cautious, didn't ask too much, and followed Xiao Tianzi.
In the secret room, Yongshi looked at the fruit box with a few snacks and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly. She had never encountered such a situation, and even if she had to retreat and cultivate in the past, she would arrange her diet in advance. During that time in Northern Xinjiang, she held the token of Sandalwood Acacia in her hand, and someone would serve food and drink wherever she went, and she never had to worry about these. Now she is the master of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, but she is trapped in the secret room and can only feed on these snacks. Even these snacks can't be guaranteed to be supplied, if Xiao Tianzi doesn't come for a long time, will she, a dignified worldly master, have to be a begging and stealing thief like Yingzi's mother and daughter in order to survive?
"Ahh If it weren't for the fact that he was angry yesterday and shot to kill the Empress Dowager Song, how could he have come to this point.
