Chapter 234: Dangerous Moves
After the two of them looked at each other for a long time, Mei Zhixuan took a deep breath and spit it out, "That's right, this prince has heard rumors about the guardian of Western Qin. It is said that they were the most loyal people who followed the ancestors of the Western Qin Dynasty to open up the territory, and they swore to protect the Son of Heaven of the Western Qin Dynasty for generations. But 18 years ago, due to a civil strife in the Western Qin Kingdom, the whole clan was wiped out, leaving only a 15-year-old orphan girl. I heard that he was as beautiful as an immortal, and the Western Qin Emperor was particularly fond of him, so he wanted to include it in the harem, but unexpectedly fell off a cliff and died on the way to the palace. Let's ask the chief, since this is the case, then what else do I have to be afraid of in Dongning Kingdom? The prince was about to present the results of his search for the Guardian to his father. ”
"Oh, is it? Poor Dao originally thought that the three princes of Dongning would be different from those ordinary people in the world, but unexpectedly, the three princes also believed that the guardian would disappear from this world so easily? The green-robed Taoist raised his eyebrows and said.
"Could it be... Could it be that the Taoist chief meant......" Mei Zhixuan was stunned when he heard this.
After a while, I saw him slowly lower his eyes, thinking: The meaning of this blue-robed old Taoist who suddenly and mysteriously appeared tonight at this time is not that the mysterious guardian of the Western Qin Kingdom is still alive?
Mo not... It was someone in the Western Qin Kingdom who deliberately let out the wind, saying that the guardian was dead, and wanted to make the Lingkong countries relax their vigilance against it, so as to brew a great conspiracy, and that conspiracy was......
Thinking of this, Mei Zhixuan suddenly chuckled in his heart, as if even his heartbeat stopped in an instant. It turned out that he was really a bit of a conceited rival, and he almost made a big mistake.
He raised his eyes in horror and stared at the blue-robed and old face in front of him, pondering again and again: If it is really as he said, that guardian is still alive, then why has the Western Qin Kingdom had so many disasters and disasters over the years, and there is no longer the peaceful and prosperous era of the past, and the country and the people are safe? If even this is a trick used by the Western Qin State to cover the outside world, then the price is inevitably a little too high!
He carefully looked at the god-like green-robed old man in front of him again and again, but when he thought of his knowledge of many secrets in the royal family of Dongning Kingdom, it didn't seem like he was deceiving him.
The so-called 'soldiers are not tired of deceit" and 'be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years', it seems that no matter what, all his current plans are forced to stagnate again.
Thinking about it, it seemed that he had a decision and a new plan in his heart, only to see that on his delicate outline, the two thick eyebrows seemed to be twisted up in an instant, and a pair of big hands with distinct bones gradually clenched tightly.
At this time, Mei Zhixuan could not have imagined that over the years, people had released all kinds of rumors, and it was rumored that the matter about the guardian of Western Qin was done by the old man in the green robe standing in front of him.
That year, the first emperor was bewitched and did not listen to the advice of his ministers, and insisted on accepting the orphans of the guardians as concubines. On the way to the palace, he was designed by a traitor and accidentally fell off the cliff.
At first, he really thought that the orphan had really fallen off a cliff and died halfway through the palace. But later, he pondered it again and again, thinking that although the Guardian has always been passed down in a single line, it is endless, and it is impossible for him to die so easily. He couldn't bear to accept such a cruel truth, so he personally went down to the bottom of the cliff to verify it, and sure enough, he didn't see half of his body.
So, he sat alone at the bottom of the cliff for three days and three nights, and he meditated without sleep, and then he came up with the idea of 'breaking
The cauldron is sinking the boat'.
Although it is a dangerous move, once this plan is discovered, other countries will flock to take advantage of it, and Western Qin will fall into an embattled state of extinction.
But he believes that as soon as this news comes out, more people who are extremely afraid of this group of people who are too powerful and want to rely on it as their own power will definitely find out about this source and its truth and falsity for the sake of insurance. At this time, it was undoubtedly equivalent to all the forces in the entire Lingkong Continent helping him find the traces of the guardian.
As he expected, it wasn't until 17 years ago that one day, the orphan girl who heard the news and returned to Xiqin, had become a woman who was about to give birth, and she had become a noble queen of Dongning on the rich side, with many followers, she came to the door and appeared in front of him in the City God Temple.
After questioning, he learned that, God forbid, she did not die after falling off the cliff, but she had amnesia. And with the merchants who returned to their hometowns with the fallen leaves of Dongning Kingdom, they were exiled to Dongning Kingdom, and with their extraordinary medical skills, they rescued a plague catastrophe that was almost destroyed in Dongning Kingdom, and was greatly praised and favored by the king of Dongning, and entered the palace, and was canonized by the supreme woman as a woman.
That year, the Guardian undoubtedly heard in the Dongning Imperial Palace that someone in the court had talked about the fact that the Guardian of Western Qin no longer existed, and the people of Western Qin were living in dire straits. For some reason, my head suddenly seemed to explode, and I suddenly regained my memory.
However, after the old Taoist in the green robe heard about it, she felt more like she sensed the call of the Emperor of Western Qin at a critical moment, so she decided to come back without hesitation to fulfill her mission.
So, regardless of the safety of herself and the fetus in her womb, she traveled a long way back to the Western Qin Kingdom to see the first emperor for the last time.
Just as Mei Zhixuan was pondering, the old man in the green robe suddenly chuckled and shook his head, then turned around and walked towards the Zen courtyard, and said in a quiet voice, "The real dragon goes out to sea, the spirit and the sky are unified, the phoenix nirvana, reborn from the fire, life is death, death is also life." ”
"The true dragon goes out to sea, the spirit and the sky are unified, the phoenix is nirvana, reborn from the fire, life is death, death is also life." Hearing this, Mei Zhixuan silently followed and repeated.
After pondering for a while, Mei Zhixuan suddenly took the initiative to ask and said, "Dao Chief, help this prince divinate a hexagram, this prince only wants to know ......"
As he spoke, he raised his head suddenly, but the old man in the green robe seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he had long since disappeared.
There was only silence around, and the night was as dark as ink, and at this moment, the voice of the old man in the green robe suddenly sounded strangely again, "The peach blossoms and pink of the small shop, the green tobacco of the willows." ”
"'The peach blossom red and pink in the small shop, the willow and green tobacco in the motou.'" What does the Taoist mean by this? This prince only wants to know the whereabouts of my princess who was lost in Western Qin many years ago in Dongning Kingdom, and only then does this prince have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, I'm sorry. I also hope that the Taoist chief Haihan will help guide the maze, and I am not very grateful, this prince is willing to pay any price. However, no matter how much sincerity and pleading he made at this time, at this point, the old way had no response.
Mei Zhixuan hung his head and walked out of the gate of the City God Temple in a rare sight.
Everything that happened here tonight, what I heard, felt like I was in my sleep. At this point, he walked along
, while pondering carefully.
The guards saw that he finally came out, but his face was as warm as jade, and at this moment it looked extremely rare and ugly, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, what happened?" ”
Hearing this, Mei Zhixuan came back to his senses, but asked, "If you want to send back the secret letter submitted to my father about the final result of finding the guardian of Western Qin, has it already been prepared?" ”
The guard said with a happy face, "It's already ready, is it going to be sent immediately?" I believe that Your Majesty will not oppose His Highness sending troops this time. We've been waiting too long for this moment. ”
Mei Zhixuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I want to send it, but it's not this request to raise troops." ”
"That's?" When the guard heard this, he immediately removed the smile from his face and asked in surprise.
Mei Zhixuan also stopped, turned sideways to the guards, gritted his teeth, and said, "Redraft a letter to my father, just say that this prince... promised to marry Princess Xiqin, please arrange it as soon as possible. ”
When the guard heard this, he immediately raised his voice and said excitedly: "Your Highness, why is this? Isn't marriage a child's play? Hasn't His Royal Highness always rejected political marriages, preferring to lack rather than abuse? Even if you really want to find it, at least you have to find a powerful and noble daughter who can help Her Highness? ”
"You can help the prince's powerful ministers and nobles...... Needless to say, just order someone to do it immediately, the sooner the better. Mei Zhixuan insisted silently.
He muttered secretly in his heart, this princess heard that she was the emperor's heart, and she must know a lot about the guardian of the Son of Heaven of Western Qin.
Mei Xiyuan has been to Western Qin for so long, and she can't even figure out the whereabouts of the King of Western Qin Qin, it seems that she is extremely unreliable if she wants to achieve great things.
This time, if she hadn't been in the way and disobeyed the order to cooperate with the search, Princess Yan would not have suffered this catastrophe.
Hum... Emperor Xiqin, this princess, but you sent it to the door yourself, so don't blame the prince for being unkind to her......
"Yes, my subordinates understand." While taking the reins from the guard's hand, Wu Zi climbed on his horse with him, and galloped into the thick night of the city.
Just as the two of them rode away, they walked out of the gate of the City God Temple, dressed in a purple-red cotton robe, with three thousand black hair half-bundled with a delicate hairpin, and two wisps of slightly curled green silk hanging down between the temples, for him to play with from time to time. has a pair of peach blossom eyes as warm as a ten-mile spring breeze, and the whole body exudes a casual and wanton bewitching man.
He lifted the corner of his robe with one hand, hurriedly chased down the stone steps of the doorway, stood in the middle of the road, half-narrowed his bewitching peach blossom eyes and stared blankly at its back as it gradually disappeared into the night, muttering in a low voice.
When he could no longer see any signs of wind and grass, and could no longer hear the sound of horses' hooves, he turned his head and looked at the door plaque of the City God Temple seriously, and then looked at the place where the old man in the green robe had stood, and said, "Who is that old man in the green robe?" He actually knew so many little-known things in the Spirit Dragon Continent. Obviously, he must know much more than that. ”
"The true dragon goes out to sea, the spirit and the sky are unified, the phoenix is nirvana, reborn from the fire, life is death, death is also life."
"The peach blossoms and pink of the small shop, the green tobacco of the willow in the strange head."
The man said silently......
