Chapter 181: The Legend of Qingluan
"Is it that the little nephew comes to the door to propose, and the prince will not stop it?"
Duan Pingsheng's old god was drinking tea, glanced at Yan Wang Li Zhong meaningfully, and suddenly asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Hey?
Li Zhong glanced at Duan Pingsheng in disbelief, and suddenly felt that what he said earlier was really a bit hasty, but since he had already said it, he was not ready to regret it, especially if Duan Pingsheng deliberately provoked, then it was even more impossible for him to retreat.
Immediately, Li Zhong sat down steadily, and said in an indifferent voice: "It's hard to chase a horse if you say it!" This king will not regret it! ”
"Good!"
Duan Pingsheng violently slapped the case, and said to Li Zhong, the king of Yan, with the victory in hand: "With the words of the prince, the little nephew will rest assured, and after two years, he will definitely come to the door in person to discuss the marriage with Qingmei!" It was not early, and the little nephew couldn't stay longer. ”
"Father-in-law, farewell!"
After Duan Pingsheng finished the last sentence, he walked out of the small courtyard where Li Zhong, the king of Yan, was located, and when Li Zhong came back to his senses, where could he still see Duan Pingsheng's shadow?
"Hey! This kid! Father-in-law? Can father-in-law be your name? ”
King Yan smiled angrily, shook his head again and again, but suddenly found that in this conversation, he seemed to have been led by Duan Pingsheng's nose all the time, his original intention was to take advantage of Duan Pingsheng's small means at the engagement banquet, and take the opportunity to beat Duan Pingsheng, so that he would avoid the thought of getting close to Qingmei, but he never thought that it would become like this in the end.
Two years?
If he really lives to two years later, wouldn't the king have to marry Qingmei to him?
Li Zhong, who was originally confident, suddenly found that this matter did not seem to be so simple, but judging from the current situation he had mastered, it was absolutely impossible for Duan Pingsheng to escape the January killing! And even if he has the help of heaven and man, or if he has great luck and escapes the net laid by the imperial court and the Wuyou Palace, it will be difficult to get rid of the assassination and siege of the three forces afterwards.
And after that, there was a catastrophe that claimed to be able to exterminate all the gods.
In King Yan's opinion, Duan Pingsheng had no way to survive anyway, but for some reason, he suddenly felt in his heart that there was really a glimmer of possibility, allowing Duan Pingsheng to escape!
"Hmm!"
Li Zhong sat in place and groaned, and finally made a decision in his heart: "If he can really come to the door to propose marriage in two years, it must be a big man who moves the world, as long as Qingmei is willing, why not marry Qingmei to him?" ”
……
Li Qingmei, who was standing beside Mu Xiantian and constantly looking at the gate of the small courtyard, was very uneasy and wrinkled her brows, at this time she was still wearing that bright red shirt, looking from a distance, like a tree of enchanting peach blossoms, dancing without wind.
Mu Xiantian looked at her and said helplessly: "Qingmei, you don't have to be in such a hurry, the prince just wants to talk, it's not a big deal!" ”
Hearing this, Li Qingmei pursed her lips and directly pierced: "Grandpa Xiantian, don't say good things for my father, I don't know what she wants to do?" It's nothing more than trying to get rid of that conscienceless one! ”
"Ahem......"
Mu Xiantian coughed twice in embarrassment, dressed as a rich old man, with his hands in his cuffs, he sighed abruptly, and asked, "Qingmei, are you really determined to follow him King Wuyou?" ”
"Yikes!"
Hearing Mu Xiantian put forward such a sensitive topic very bluntly, Li Qingmei immediately blushed and turned away, unable to answer for a while, and finally thought that she would always regard Mu Xiantian as her teacher and grandfather, so she nodded lightly.
Mu Xiantian looked at her squirming and shook his head: "Qingmei, don't blame Grandpa Xiantian for being so talkative!" It's really because his future is uncertain for King Wuyou, and he is not a good match for you! Mu Xiantian saw that Li Qingmei was anxious to defend herself, and continued to speak, "Have you ever thought about why he Wuyou Wang Ming knows that you and Li Jiangbei are childhood sweethearts, but he still wants to intervene?" ”
For Mu Xiantian's question, Li Qingmei didn't have too many feelings in her heart, although she was not old and inexperienced, she had a seven-trick heart, she could detect that Duan Pingsheng approached her at first with ulterior motives, but when the two of them passed through the tribulation of Longmian Mountain, she was relieved.
However, what Mu Xiantian said next made her heart skip a beat: "All along, the prince has been obedient to you, even if you are clamoring to go to Guanghan Palace to learn martial arts, the prince is obedient to your wishes." Grandpa knows that today's engagement banquet has made you have a mustard for the prince in your heart, but grandpa still has to say more, as the head of the family, the things he has to consider are like the sand of the Ganges, and it is with him that you can grow up carefree. ”
"But this time, there is really no way, the prince can only make the first volume, and decide to send away Lord Sanbao first, and then make up for it afterwards."
Speaking of this, Mu Xiantian, who had a serious face, smiled suddenly: "But the final result is not bad, the prince has successfully stabilized his position, and you are not married to Li Jiangbei, it can be said that everyone is happy!" ”
The county lord of Qingmei, who has always been quietly listening to Mu Xiantian's story, has a lot of feelings in her heart, all along, she has grown up safely under the protection of King Yan, and most of the ugly events that happened in Youzhou City have been isolated from the palace by Li Zhong.
With the previous explanation of Duan Pingsheng, coupled with Mu Xiantian's revelation now, Li Qingmei's misunderstanding of Yan King Li Zhong has completely disappeared, but when she heard Mu Xiantian's last words, she still shook her head a little stubbornly and said: "The real joy is that I marry Li Jiangnan!" ”
Hearing this, Mu Xiantian was really a little crying and laughing: "You, it's still too simple to think!" Do you really think that if you want to marry King Wuyou now, he, King Wuyou, will really dare to marry you now? ”
Li Qingmei, whose eyes flickered, heard the clue, but she still nodded unswervingly.
"Alas!"
Looking at Li Qingmei's appearance, Mu Xiantian decided not to hide it from her anymore, anyway, the date is approaching, this kind of thing can't be hidden if you want to, after all, it will fall into Li Qingmei's ears.
"There's one thing I still have to let you know. Grandpa asked you, do you still remember that night, Xuanhua's wife Song Zhi ordered Lu Jiang, the deputy commander of the Wuyou Palace, to lead all the palaces to worship, and with the cooperation of the Bailuan Dao people, to attack the Wuwang Mansion at night? ”
Mu Xiantian's expression was extremely solemn, which made Li Qingmei's eyes widen and she nodded heavily, it was from that night that her opinion of Song Zhi's mother and son had changed.
"Good! Then do you know why Song Zhi did this? Mu Xiantian didn't wait for Li Qingmei to respond, so he asked and answered himself, "This is because she doesn't want King Wuyou to get out of control!" And the reason for this is that it comes from a legend that has been circulating in the Qingluan Hall for a hundred years! ”
"What is it?"
Li Qingmei couldn't help but ask curiously, Shui Lingling's eyes widened, flashing with a glint of curiosity.
"The prince once took you to the Qingluan Hall to pray for blessings when you were young, and now you may not remember some details in the Qingluan Palace, but you should never forget the phoenix head behind the throne of the hall master!"
Li Qingmei's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Grandpa Xiantian, are you talking about that big phoenix head?" ”
"Exactly!" Mu Xiantian nodded, "But in fact, this is not an ordinary phoenix head!" Qingluan Hall is built according to the mountain, and behind the main hall is a high mountain, and this mountain is the main peak of Luofeng Mountain! When the old man heard that Duan Pingsheng, the king of martial arts, wanted to build a treasure house in the southern mountains, he sent two groups of people and horses respectively, and entered Longmian Mountain and Luofeng Mountain respectively, and finally selected Longmian Mountain as the treasure house, and Luofeng Mountain established the Qingluan Palace! ”
"At that time, many people thought that the reason why Martial King Duan Pingsheng established the Qingluan Hall was to deter the Liaodong Martial Arts, but why was it finally chosen to be in Luofeng Mountain, which made people suspicious, knowing that the appearance of a rumor later made the entire martial arts suddenly realize."
"What is it?"
Li Qingmei asked excitedly, she sensed in her heart that this rumor must be related to Duan Pingsheng, and it would not even be a good thing, but she still couldn't help but want to know.
"That is the phoenix in the Qingluan Palace, it is not actually dead, its body has fallen into a deep sleep due to the suppression of Luofeng Mountain."
The words were amazing, so that Li Qingmei immediately covered her mouth in disbelief: "Impossible, right?" Grandpa Innate, didn't that phoenix die a long time ago? I was hugged by my father and touched the feathers of the phoenix! ”
"But don't forget, the green feather in the three-color feather on the top of the phoenix's head is still burning with heavenly fire!"
Mu Xiantian's words suddenly evoked Li Qingmei's memories, she found that this was really the case, when she was a child, she was taken to Qingluan Hall by Li Zhong, the king of Yan, and as soon as she entered the door, she was attracted by the green feathers on the phoenix's head, she felt that the feathers burning with the sky fire had a great relationship with her, which had a certain relationship with her preference for wearing green clothes in the future.
"And the legend circulating in the Qingluan Hall is related to the mystery of the life and death of this phoenix!"
Mu Xiantian's words aroused Li Qingmei's interest again, and hurriedly urged him to come quickly: "Legend has it that if you want to wake this phoenix from its slumber, you need a man and a woman with Qingluan blood to worship in the main hall and get married. ”
"Some of the details of this are unknown to my grandfather, but a harsh condition is still fresh in my memory! That is this man and woman, not only need to have Qingluan blood, but also must be born in the same year, month, and day, and the man must be from the Wuwang lineage, and the woman must be from the Qingluan lineage! ”
"Huh?"
Although Li Qingmei only heard a few words, she had some guesses in her heart, but she still asked a little strangely: "Why are you so harsh?" ”
Mu Xiantian smiled a little helplessly: "The reason why a legend is a legend, where can it be that grandpa can explain it clearly?" ”
Faced with Mu Xiantian's answer, which was not an answer, Li Qingmei could only respond with an "oh".
"Not only can't you figure it out, but I can't figure it out either, grandpa! In addition to these necessary conditions, the most important thing is that on the day when the two turn twenty, after the man and woman visit the church and get married, the woman must kill the man with her own hands, so as to wake up the sleeping phoenix! ”
"Huh?"
Li Qingmei responded in shock again, she knew that the male convenience in Mu Xiantian's mouth was referring to Duan Pingsheng, but she couldn't figure it out anyway, why did such an absurd and unruly legend appear? I can't figure out why this kind of thing fell on Duan Pingsheng's head!
Mu Xiantian saw her doubts, sighed lightly, and explained: "You should know the origin of Qingluan Hall and Wuwang Mansion!" Princess Wu Jiang Luan is the first hall master of Qingluan Palace, and her biological brother is the successor hall master. ”
"When this legend appeared, it was also the heyday of the Qingluan Palace, and the Qingluan Hall and the Wuwang Mansion were in the same breath, and the two could work together to dominate Liaodong, so naturally they would not do it again! It wasn't until fifty years ago that Ren Tu appeared and fought a big battle with the old Qingluan Hall master, who was seriously injured and could not recover. ”
"The successor hall master, knowing that time was running out, ended his life as soon as possible, just to use the Qingluan Great Array for a moment!"
"And he...... See? ”
Li Qingmei's question blurted out, and Mu Xiantian's affirmative answer was ushered in: "Indeed! Rumor has it that he saw the phoenix resurrected, explained the aftermath to his henchmen, and died! It was also since then that there was a gap between the Qingluan Hall and the Wuwang Mansion, and with the growth of the new generation, that is, the Qingjing Sanren and Bailuan Dao people, the gap became bigger and bigger, and formed a point where the sword is almost facing each other now! ”
"That'...... This ......"
Li Qingmei's thoughts were very complicated, and she had reached the point where she couldn't speak, and in fact, at this moment, she didn't know what to say, so she finally asked unwillingly: "Then why did you choose him?" ”
"If possible, Qingluan Palace naturally doesn't want to completely break with the Wuwang Mansion, but you have also seen the current situation, the Qingluan Palace is no longer in the sky, eager to seek an opportunity to rise again, and the Wuwang Mansion has completely declined, even if Li Changlin supports it, if he wants to regain the glory of the past, it is difficult to reach the sky. Therefore, they put their minds on Li Jiangnan and Jiang Hongluan! ”
"What a coincidence, you think! The two were born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and at the same time have the blood of Qingluan, although the lord of the Qingluan Palace proposed to Li Changfeng to marry a baby for the two, he may not have the intention of realizing the legend, but Li Changfeng died in prison, the family of the Wuwang Mansion collapsed, and the power was controlled by Li Changlin in a hurry to seek an opportunity, giving both sides a ready-made opportunity! ”
"Qingluan Palace wants to be prosperous, why not Wuyou Palace? Therefore, if Li Jiangnan wants to survive, he must first climb over the two mountains in front of him! ”
Mu Xiantian's last words made Li Qingmei unable to break free from the shock for a while, she had just completely gotten rid of Li Jiangbei, and she still thought that no one could stop her marriage with Duan Pingsheng, but she knew this news like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, how could she face it calmly?
Suddenly, Li Qingmei seemed to have caught something, her face showed a look of joy, and she hurriedly said: "Grandpa Xiantian, according to what you say, Li Changlin can obviously be the king of Wuyou by himself, why did the throne fall to Li Jiangnan's head?" Is there any other arrangement in the imperial court? Is there a turning point? ”
