Chapter 228: The Peak of Power
Xingli's lonely figure passed through the marble corridor, turned to the right, and entered the promenade to the backyard, where various rare flowers and plants were planted on both sides of the promenade, competing for bloom in the warm spring-like garden.
He walked numbly on the promenade, completely ignoring the brilliant fragrance in the garden, and the flowers and plants that came into view turned into cold snowflakes floating outside the window, falling on Yuwei's frozen heart.
A leafy ginkgo tree appeared in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but stop, Yu Wei's favorite petrified ginkgo tree, watching the bright glass light and shadow flowing on the branches, Yu Wei's eyes also flashed with a mesmerizing blur.
He remembered the scene of Yu Wei dancing under the ginkgo tree, like clouds in the air, like flowers and butterflies, dancing lightly, and giving birth to lotuses step by step.
That was what Yu Wei looked like when she first came to the center of the earth, her eyes as clear as water couldn't hide her cowardice towards the strange world, and that cowardice deeply hurt his heart, which used to be a pair of unwavering eyes.
"His Royal Highness Hong Shizi!" Ouyang Cen turned out from behind the rockery, plopped, and knelt in front of Xingli.
After returning from Seaweed Valley, he hid at home and thought about it, he knew that he was ashamed of the world to use Yuwei to capture His Highness Erdoni, and he also knew what Yuwei's miscarriage meant to Xingli?
It's just that the big mistake has been made, and no matter how much he hates, he can't get it back, just when he wants to go back to Yingfeng Villa for the rest of his life, a holy decree from Her Majesty the Queen pushed him to the forefront.
Good people gathered at the gate of his small courtyard, just to see the dignity of the master who was deposed by his apprentice, he inexplicably endured the ridicule of these people, and the visit of Doctor Kang made him know the reason for the matter.
It turned out that Her Majesty had issued a decree to depose him as the protector of the country, and insisted that he would never be appointed.
It's like a thunderbolt that splits his head in a daze, everyone knows that he is the master of His Royal Highness Hong Shizi, and when he quietly returns to Youzhi Peak, how should Xingli face the eyes of the world?
After all kinds of entanglements, he finally walked out of his small courtyard in the blizzard, because he wanted to go to the palace to find Xingli's forgiveness, and he couldn't let Xingli, who had suffered a lot, become a prince who only loved beauty in the eyes of the world.
However, when he saw Xingli's bleak expression when he walked out of Yuwei's courtyard, he still hid with a weak heart, the estrangement between Yuwei and Xingli was all contributed to by him, and every wrong decision he made pushed Xingli into the abyss of love.
He could feel Xingli's inner struggle, like a dagger slicing through his heart.
He trembled and followed behind Xingli, who was once vigilant like a cheetah, but he took heavy steps step by step, completely losing the vigilance that he should have as a lurker.
He was heartbroken, he was remorseful, and he wanted to end his life immediately.
However, he can't, he wants to live for Xingli, live for the humiliation, and he wants to prove for this unparalleled prince in the future, proving that he has never disrespected his teacher.
A glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes, like a spark in the vast ice field, spreading in all directions......
Therefore, he straightened his back, which was already a little rickety, and strode in front of Xingli, when he knelt in front of Xingli with a plop, all the previous pursuit of fame and fortune fell like catkins in the wind.
"How are you?" The cold voice was mixed with touching sadness.
"Back to Your Highness, it is the villain, and the villain specially came to ask His Highness for his guilt!" Ouyang Cen's body on the ground trembled a little, and his originally dark hair was already covered with frost.
"Your Majesty has punished your sins, and you don't need to ask this son for any more guilt!" Xingli's face was cold, and his eyes were overflowing with unspeakable pain.
It was this master who grew up with him who betrayed him at the most critical moment, and while he swore to himself that he was determined to protect Yu Wei, he forgot to sleep and eat in order to establish his great achievements, and finally pushed Yu Wei away from his side.
"The villain knows that even if he dies, he will not be able to escape the blame, but now that the war is imminent, the villain doesn't want to make His Highness lose the hearts of the people because of his mistakes!" Ouyang Cen raised his head, and an old face immediately met Xingli's eyes.
Is this still the formidable Ouyang Cen of the past? The slightly brown face is covered with criss-crossed wrinkles, which are as memorable as knife cuts.
Xingli froze down, and still said in his deep and cold voice, "What's the use of the people's hearts for me? I don't need it! ”
"But, Miss Yuwei needs it!" Ouyang Cen gritted his teeth and said firmly.
"Yuwei, you don't deserve to mention this name!" A look of anger burst out from Xingli's eyes, piercing straight into Ouyang Cen's heart like a sharp sword.
"The villain knows that he is not worthy, but His Royal Highness, if you want to protect the safety and smoothness of Miss Yuwei, status and power are indispensable!" Ouyang Cen looked at Xingli beggingly with his eyes that were on the verge of death, as if Xingli was the straw he struggled to grasp in the ocean of fate.
"Safe and well?" Xingli snorted disdainfully, and said sourly: "Status and power are the source of my and Yu Wei's suffering, if I am not the crown prince of the Fei Lang clan, if I don't have the mission imposed on me by His Majesty, how can Yu Wei be hurt so much!"
"That is, His Highness has not yet stood at the pinnacle of power, and when His Highness stands at the pinnacle of power that the world can only look up to, everything His Highness wants can be at his fingertips!" Ouyang Cen raised his head and looked at Xingli, who was as cold as an ice peak, and said decisively.
Xingli smiled bitterly when he heard this, this was the reason why Ouyang Cen betrayed him, if he had become the king of the Feilang clan, killing him would not put Yuwei in danger.
Ouyang Cen looked at the wry smile on the corner of Xingli's mouth, and sighed in his heart, he knew that he had touched Xingli's hidden pain that he didn't want to mention, the kind of hidden pain that he couldn't do anything, but he could only move forward.
"You haven't reached the pinnacle of power, how can you know the helplessness of the high place!" Xingli's eyes are deep and desolate, as if looking at the endless darkness through time and space.
He can't forget the thrilling love with the Queen of the Earth in his previous life, the love engraved in his bones that he dare not forget in this life, but the person who was hurt in the last life was himself, and the one who was loved without pain was the Queen of the Earth who was admired by the people of the center of the earth.
A vibration came from his wrist, and when he pressed the monitor, his face turned pale.
He flashed past Ouyang Cen, who was kneeling on the ground, and quickly walked towards the backyard, where there was his exclusive flying machine, he walked up the gangway quickly, and drove the flight to the north......
……
"How?" Lin Yuanye looked at Shu Yi who had just finished sending the message and asked.
"I don't know, I have already informed His Highness Fei Langchen, he will rush over as soon as he sees it!" Shu Yi had a calm pink face, and a pair of bright eyes stared closely at the group of black shadows in the distance.
When the funeral procession boarded the flying machine, Lin Yuanye rushed over with His Royal Highness Erdoni's hidden guards, but what he didn't expect was that at this time, another well-equipped army came, and it didn't look like the outfit of the guards.
They deliberately came to stand in front of the grave of His Highness Erdoni, and even though the snow turned them into snowmen like cotton wool, they showed no sign of leaving.
Lin Yuanye patted his thigh anxiously, if he didn't rescue His Highness Erdoni from the sarcophagus as soon as possible, I was afraid that His Highness Erdoni would not have any chance of surviving.
"Master Lin Sect, can you be quiet!" Shu Yi, who was already extremely nervous, glanced at Lin Yuanye.
They only placed a miniature nitrogen dioxide converter in the sarcophagus, which was too small to last for four hours, and now it had been more than three hours since His Highness Erdoni was sealed in the sarcophagus.
"How do you make me quiet?" Lin Yuan said angrily: "You told me that Lin Yue was solely responsible for this funeral mission, and now it seems that the queen of Rausch does not trust her!"
"How do we know the queen has a backhand?" Shu Yi couldn't help frowning, Lin Yue had been appointed by the queen as the acting general of the protector, and it stands to reason that he should have mastered all the military power of the Ferrand clan.
"The queen is ruthless and cunning, and everyone knows it, only you yellow-haired girls like you will believe it!" Lin Yuan couldn't hold back the anger in his heart at night, and said with a rebuke without words.
"We're yellow-haired girls?" Shu Yi glanced at him contemptuously, "There is a young master of the Ghost Imperial Gate who the Lord of the Forest Sect has always been proud of!" ”
"Humph!" Lin Yuanye rolled his red and white eyes and snorted, "The young master of our ghost royal gate is Miss Yuwei, and we came out to meet the blizzard this time just to rescue the husband of the young master!" ”
Shu Yi smiled disdainfully, "I only said that men like the new and hate the old for women, but I didn't expect the master to like the new and hate the old for the disciples?" ”
"This is also called liking the new and hating the old?" Lin Yuanye grinned and spat out, "This is the rule of our Ghost Imperial Sect, in its position to seek its own government, otherwise this one needs to be obeyed, that one needs to obey orders, where should the disciples go?" ”
Shu Yi didn't refute when he heard this, he just stared at the cemetery with round eyes for a moment, Lin Yuanye's words were reasonable, but it was really unpleasant for others to hear it.
"How much longer?" Lin Yuanye looked at Shu Yi's serious appearance and asked worriedly.
Yu Wei and His Royal Highness Erdoni Qin Se and Ming, envy everyone, if he can't successfully rescue His Highness Erdoni, then their young master may not be able to save it!
"It should last half an hour!" Shu Yi looked at his watch and replied without thinking.
"It takes time to dig graves and lift coffins, and it will be too late if we don't act!" Cheng Jinghou bent over from the snow col and lay down beside Lin Yuanye.
"How?" Lin Yuanye asked frantically, "Just those few birdmen of yours, can they be the opponents of those hundreds of people?"
"Then give it a try!" Cheng Jing replied with a frown.
The purpose of his trip is to rescue the two highnesses, and now that His Royal Highness Erdoni is buried in an ice cave nearby, and His Royal Highness the princess is trapped in the well-guarded palace, if His Royal Highness Erdoni is killed in front of his eyes, how can he face the king who trusts him?
"Try?" Lin Yuan glanced at him with a white face, and asked in a strange manner, "Is Master Hou planning to hit a stone with an egg or a moth to fight the fire?"
"This ......" Cheng Jinghou opened his mouth, without saying a word, he also knew that he was destined to gain nothing except to lose his life, but he couldn't just wait like this!
Lin Yuanye looked at this loyal old minister, and his heart was not a taste, in his memory, he should live at this age, how could he still struggle in the sword, gun, sword, and halberd?
"Look!" Shu Yi elbowed him.
Lin Yuanye twisted his eyebrows with Shu Yi's gesture and looked over, only to see a silver flying machine slowly descending.
Before the aircraft could stop, a tall man dressed in black appeared straight at the door of the cabin, only to see his head held high, and a pair of eyes as sharp as a nightingale revealed an awe-inspiring gaze.
"Huh?" Cheng Jinghou rubbed his eyes, followed by a chill in his heart, how could the person they had been waiting for for so much be him?
