Chapter 8: The Earth Dragon Turns Over
Before Zhao Huangge returned to the room, he saw Jinxiu running out in a hurry.
When he saw her, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Princess, you weren't scared, were you?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Huangge glanced at her amusedly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is this palace scared?" ”
As she spoke, she went to the door first, walked to the shelf and cleaned her hands, and washed them carefully several times before drying her hands.
It looked like he had something dirty on his hands.
She was so leisurely that Jinxiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said softly: "The slaves and maids were startled by such a big movement just now, it's good that you weren't scared." ”
The princess could not hear the rain and thunder since she was a child, and just now the northwest direction somehow sounded the thunder on a dry day, she was frightened and trembled, and when she remembered that she was still outside, she hurried to look for it, but fortunately the princess was fine.
Zhao Huangge paused when he wiped his hands, and his lowered eyes were a little self-deprecating.
When her father and brother were in power, she was still young, and because she was pampered and raised by her father and brother, she really had some delicate problems. But later, the wind and frost sword rolled in an unknown number of encounters, and the softness of the daughter's family had long been worn away.
This heart is now invincible, so why be afraid of thunder?
But......
"It's not a thunderbolt on a dry day."
As she spoke, she threw the handkerchief back to its place, picked out a little fat powder and wiped it on her hand, and said casually: "That sound, I'm afraid it's the earth dragon turning over." ”
These words made Jinxiu bluff again, and subconsciously asked: "This is so good, why did the dragon turn over on the spot?" ”
Since the capital of North Vietnam, Shuofang City, every natural disaster near the capital city turned over, Emperor Taizu, the national teacher once said that this is a warning from heaven, warning the monarch to be ignorant.
It is precisely because of this that the emperors of all dynasties are very taboo about this matter, and every time they encounter the earth dragon turning over, they must personally go to burn incense and sacrifice, and go to the ancestors to confess.
But now the wind and rain are smooth, the emperor has been in power for eight years, and he has not made any big mistakes, how can he make such waves?
Jinxiu thought about these things randomly, and saw Zhao Huangge's nonchalant expression, and always felt that the princess's attitude was a little weird.
She didn't dare to say anything, she just poured a cup of tea for Zhao Huangge, and only then did she want to change the topic, but she heard the other party squint and smile: "Probably, it's because the dragon doesn't sleep well." ”
Whether the dragon slept soundly or not, Jinxiu didn't know, but Zhao Huangge didn't sleep steadily.
She just served the other party to rest, and then she heard a commotion outside.
Zhao Huangge didn't fall asleep, he straightened up when he heard the words and said, "You go and see what's going on." ”
Jinxiu answered, and turned around after a while, with a little anxiety in her voice: "Princess, the big thing is not good, Changming Palace-it's gone!" ”
The Changming Hall of Yanhua Temple is dedicated to the ancestors of the Changming Lantern, bless Beiyue and the royal family.
And now, the Changming Hall is walking on the water, the fire is soaring to the sky, and the Changming lamps enshrined in it have all been ignited.
Zhao Huangge's eyes sank, and he immediately got up and said, "Go and have a look at this palace." ”
Seeing that she was going, Jinxiu couldn't stop her, so she could only hurry with her.
The fire in front of the Changming Palace soared into the sky, and the autumn cherry blossom country was dry, and the firelight was together, so that this huge hall was surrounded by fire dragons.
The night was illuminated, the sky was dark, and the distance was scarlet.
Smoke rose everywhere, choking people and coughing.
Yue Zhou was hurriedly directing people to extinguish the fire, and when he turned around and saw Zhao Huangge coming, he suddenly felt that one head and two were big, but his expression couldn't be revealed: "Hello to the princess, the fire here is a bit big, and the lower official will let someone escort you back to the room first, right?" ”
Such an ancestor came over, whether he came to Xingshi to ask about the guilt or the reason, he couldn't afford it!
Zhao Huangge didn't ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, and only commanded in a deep voice when he heard the words: "Jinxiu, transfer all the guards over, the ever-bright lantern is blessed by the ancestors, and nothing can happen!" ”
What she said made Yue Zhou a little surprised, he didn't expect that the first thing the other party did when he came over was to help.
You must know that Zhao Huangge's guards are all top masters who protect her, and now that they are fighting fires and patrolling, the Royal Forest soldiers are seriously understaffed, and with the help of these people, it is undoubtedly a relief in the snow.
"Thank you, princess, after the fire is extinguished, the next official will go and ask for guilt!"
Hearing this, Zhao Huangge nodded in response, and told him to put out the fire quickly, and then said: "There is a big problem for the palace to go and see the national teacher, so you don't have to go over." ”
After the accident in Changming Palace, Yuezhou couldn't leave, and now he heard her words, and thanked him gratefully: "Thank you, princess." ”
Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the princess is not very old, but she is a thoughtful person, if she hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten the national teacher.
These two big Buddhas, but none of them can make a mess!
The fire was burning, and the soldiers here were in chaos, and Zhao Huangge didn't stay any longer, and after a few words, he turned around and left.
Yue Zhou was commanding people to extinguish the fire, and when he saw Zhao Huangge leaving, he wanted to allocate some manpower for her, but he was distracted by his subordinates: "My lord, the apse is also on fire!" ”
Yue Zhou's previous thoughts were instantly left behind, and he was so angry that he kicked someone: "Then hurry up and put out the fire, what are you still stunned to do!" ”
There was chaos, but Zhao Huangge's road was silent.
Even, the silence was a little too much.
"Princess, watch your step."
Jinxiu reminded him, and saw a hand suddenly stretched out from the oblique thorn, and the next moment it strangled Zhao Huangge's neck!
"Don't move!"
The man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and when he got closer, he could still smell the smell of rust.
It's blood.
Jinxiu's face turned white in an instant, and he said urgently: "Presumptuous, who are you to dare to hijack——"
It's just that before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a pain in her shoulder, suddenly softened, and the whole person fell to the ground.
The man didn't want this to happen, he was stunned at first, and then he heard Zhao Huangge ask with a panicked expression: "Why do you want to hurt my servant?" Also, this is Yanhua Temple, you trespassed in late at night, do you know what the crime is? ”
These words made the man's suspicion a little bigger, he didn't do anything, why did the little girl faint?
However, it was a great thing for him!
Therefore, his voice became more and more ruthless, and he bluffed: "Since Lao Tzu dares to trespass, what crime are you afraid of!" Don't worry, your servant girl can't die now, but if you don't want to be obedient, I will send your master and servant to Huangquan Road together! ”
When she said this, the man's hand around her neck was a little heavier, causing Zhao Huangge to snort, and there was some fear in his voice: "What do you want me to do?" ”
The man smiled fiercely, lowered his voice and said, "Lead the way, I'm looking for Xiao Jingchen." ”
Zhao Huangge was probably frightened, and when he was held hostage by a man, his body trembled.
Seeing this, the man became a little more down-to-earth, put a dagger against her waist, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up, don't play tricks, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you first!" ”
Zhao Huangge nodded in fright, and brought the person to Xiao Jingchen's door according to what he said, and said in a breathless voice: "This is it......
"Go knock."
Hearing the man's words, Zhao Huangge responded, but suddenly turned to the side, and at the same time, dragged the man's arm, and with the force of retreat, he threw the person forward heavily!
The sharp dagger slashed across her waist, Zhao Huangge snorted, and the man had already slammed open the door and rushed straight in!
"National teacher, there are assassins!"
Zhao Huangge was injured, and his whole body fell to the ground, looking embarrassed and pale.
Even the voice was trembling.
The candles in the room were dim, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves were bright.
Blood stained the placket of her clothes, and Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes and crashed into the blood.
Without waiting to speak, he heard the man's hindsight react: "Slut, you dare to calculate Lao Tzu!" ”
He stood firm with a carp, and stabbed at Zhao Huangge with a dagger, but the sharp tip of the knife that came with the whistling wind did not hurt her in the slightest.
The porcelain white tea cup hit the man's wrist, he let go of his hand in pain, Xiao Jingchen's palm wind has arrived!
The man didn't seem to expect Xiao Jingchen to beat himself, so he subconsciously said: "National teacher, how can you ......?"
Isn't this national teacher with them, why did he start with himself!
It's just that before he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Huangge's panicked voice sound, and also interrupted him: "This person intends to assassinate the palace, the national teacher, and stay alive for interrogation!" ”
