Chapter 122: The Emperor's Mind (8)
"He's awake!"
With this exclamation, Jiang Jie's fingers trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
With a splitting headache and a blurry vision from blurry to clear, the young man who had just woken up from a big dream looked at his junior brother with red eyes in front of the bed, and did not say a word for a long time.
"Senior brother!"
He Xuan's eyes were as pure as water, and when he woke up, he hurriedly wiped his tears with his hands, his face full of surprise, "You're awake!" ”
Nan Rong Puchu was also full of smiles for the rest of his life, and he was about to lean this way, when he saw himself looking at him, he immediately paused in fright, waved his hand with guilt, and didn't know what to say, so he stood in place at a loss.
Jiang Jie was stunned.
At that time, betrayed by trusted people and calculated by the so-called relatives, overnight, he fell from the top of his innocence and happiness to the bottom, crying heartbreakingly.
Ten years ago, he was young and ignorant, willful and stubborn, and he never saw through the reluctance and helplessness in his father's eyes, as well as the painful struggle in his heart. I thought I was abandoned by him, and I was heartbroken, so I swore that "I will never love the people in this life!" ”
Then he slammed the door and went out, and he didn't return for ten years.
For ten years, I thought I was calm enough, but I didn't want to lose control so easily.
For ten years, Ah Xuan and Pu Chu have always been by my side, no matter how arrogant and eccentric my personality is, they have never left. But because I lost my loved ones, I took my family anger out on them.
Even if the family feud is monstrous and has some relationship with the royal family, what does it have to do with the brother who grew up with me? And my impulse almost cost everyone's life!
I call myself a genius, I think I'm gifted and strong enough; I don't want to, under such power, I don't have the slightest power to fight back!
Even after ten years, I'm still so arbitrary!
Jiang Jie laughed at himself, and his ruthless and cold eyes instantly darkened, turning into silence.
"Senior brother! I..." Seeing that he was silent for a long time, thinking that he had failed to take revenge, he was angry in his heart, and comforted him softly, "I..."
"I'm sorry!"
Before he finished speaking, the young man, who had always been arrogant and cold, lowered his eyes slightly, and then raised his eyes again, looking directly at the two young royal nobles who had been with him for ten years, and said sincerely.
"I'm sorry."
In three short words, the ice melts and the clouds disperse.
Nan Rongpuchu's expression changed from surprise to joy, originally hesitant and full of panic; Hearing this, he immediately ran over, came to Jiang Jie, and said aggrievedly, "Senior Brother Jiang... I thought you would never want to pay attention to me anymore..."
"Puchu, get out of the way!" He Xuan also raised a pure smile.
After laughing, Jiang Jie also understood the current situation.
Time was pressing, He Xuan frowned slightly, and said with a straight face, "The only way to do this is to take risks." ”
"But the imperial city has been sealed, if you want to enter the city, it is not easy!"
"Even if so, give it a try. Senior brother, you take good care of your injuries! Wait for Ling Xiu and them to come so that they can inform him of the current situation in the Imperial City! ”
"Sister Ning Pheasant, Senior Brother needs to be taken care of by someone he trusts, and I have to bother you to stay in He Mansion!" He Xuan looked at Ning Pheasant on the side and said sincerely, "By the way... Wait for Yun Yuan and them to come back. ”
Ning Pheasant knew that he was careful, and he felt sorry for himself that Yun Yuan and Yu'er had not returned, and he was restless and should not take risks. The road to the palace is full of dangers, and the undecided heart adds to the chaos.
Her heart warmed, and she nodded, "Okay." ”
"Then Senior Brother will bother Sister Ning."
He Xuan explained the He Mansion clearly, and then went towards the imperial city with Wu Xi, Nan Rong Puchu, and He Yi.
The capital of the imperial city, the act of locking the city, has two meanings. One is a secular move, using secular power to seal the entry and exit gates inside and outside the city walls, and to strengthen the guard. Second, he borrowed divine power to activate the imperial city enchantment to avoid internal and external disasters.
Nanrong inherits the power of the Gouchen Divine Beast, so this imperial city enchantment is also cast with the divine power of Gouchen, which is as solid as a rock and unbreakable!
"In today's imperial city, I'm afraid that both layers of vigilance have been activated." Outside the city gate, He Xuan looked up. Outside the high wall and dangerous building, there is a layer of enchantment with a slight golden light, like a large bell covering the top, standing majestically and solemnly above the entire imperial city.
"The enchantment is a secret of the royal family, passed down by the mouth of generations of emperors." Nan Rongpu made a bitter face and sighed, "How can this enter the city!" ”
"Don't worry." Wu Xi, who was silent on the side, gently placed his hands on the layer of golden light and shimmering enchantment, and the top of the arc-shaped enchantment suddenly appeared with the shadow of a looming divine beast.
"I've sensed the entrance to the barrier."
"It is rumored that those who have advanced cultivation can sense the entrance to any enchantment at will." He Xuan glanced sideways slightly, "It's true!" ”
The three of them followed Wu Xi and headed towards the Baqu Reservoir outside the city gate.
The name of the Eight Canal Reservoir is the reservoir, but it is actually the place where the eight divergent water veins in the imperial city converge. The imperial city is located in the north, the wind and sand are full of sky, and the water source is scarce, with the two water veins in the south of the sky and the north of the earth as the head, running through the entire northern territory.
And the eight-canal reservoir is located on the Tiannan water vein, with the spring as the gathering, the eight canals are divided and down, across the imperial city and the national capital, in order to serve as a moat.
This reservoir was built by the royal family, and it is magnificent and magnificent. The blue water surface is clear and clear, like a large mirror, which takes in the northern scenery and quietly stacks it with a mirror.
Colorful and sparkling.
The edge of the enchantment falls right in the center of the reservoir.
"Where is the entrance to the barrier?" Nan Rongpu looked at this reservoir and was slightly stunned, "This... How do I enter? ”
Wu Xi nodded and pointed to the Lejiang Dam on the edge of the reservoir.
"Under this dam?!" Nan Rongpu opened his mouth wide, shrunk his shoulders, and waved his hand again and again, "The dam is in the turbulent water, I'm afraid we will be washed into the whirlpool before we enter it!" ”
"There are few rivers in the north, and there are few people who are good at water." The slanted eyes under the mask seemed to have a bit of a sense of banter, which made He Xuan inexplicably feel a sense of familiarity and closeness.
Wu Xi quietly looked at Nan Rong Puchu, the latter couldn't help but tremble, and heard him mean something, "Nan Rong family, sincere and wise, make up for weaknesses with strengths, why is it difficult?" ”
"Got it?"
Nan Rongpu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, nodded again and again, and as soon as the words fell, he hurriedly went to the Qiankun bag to fish, and after digging for a long time, he took out a small transparent ball.
Nan Rong Puchu squeezed the ball in his hand and gently recited two incantations. The balls swelled like balloons, enveloping them.
The four of them walked onto the surface of the water as if they were walking on the ground, and then followed the turbulence and sank to the bottom. The balls were as light as bubbles, but they kept the water out of the way one by one, unaffected by any rapid currents, and headed towards the reservoir.
This thing is a real artifact!
He Yi smiled slightly and praised, "It really deserves to be called the treasure house of the Cangyin Continent, and the treasure collection is really eye-opening." ”
Receiving this compliment, Baibaoku straightened his waist, "This treasure is called 'Bubble Armor'!" ”
"This thing... Named a bubble nail? The corners of his forehead jumped slightly, and he said tentatively.
"That's right!" Nan Rongpu's initial smug expression was overflowing, "I took it!" The guests in the house all praised me for taking the image, which is very compatible with the temperament of this treasure! Isn't it vivid! I'm a genius! ”
"This ability to choose a name is indeed quite compatible with your temperament." Wu Xi glanced up and down at Pu Chu, and once again pointed out.
With the protection of the bubble armor, the four of them walked forward unimpeded, through layers of water waves, and walked to a secret passage. The secret passage was opened from the bottom of the water, and it lay down in the form of a pipe. There are many stone doors at the entrance of the secret passage, and the stone door will slowly move up to the center with a press of the middle at will.
But as the stone gate moved, the water waves outside the stone gate did not surge in at all, but seemed to be isolated by a strange air current, forming a natural curtain of water.
As soon as the four of them entered the secret passage, the stone gate fell. The bubble armor was retracted, and the four of them stood on the ground.
The cave was pitch black, Nan Rong Puchu hurriedly took out the night pearl, the brilliance was scattered, and the cave was unusually dry.
The four of them walked forward for a while, and the breath stepped forward, gently pressing their hands on the void. The pale golden light flickered, and the enchantment was immediately revealed.
"How did you break this barrier?" Nan Rong Puchu looked at the pale golden enchantment in front of him with a sad face.
Wuxi raised an eyebrow at him and made a forward look.
"Me?" Nan Rongpuchu raised his right hand in disbelief and pointed his index finger at himself.
Vu Xi nodded.
"Senior, the collusion enchantment is as solid as a rock, the illegal Poke can be broken, I'm afraid that Pu Chu's skills are..." He Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and explained for Pu Chu.
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Xi squinted slightly, quickly pulled out a dagger, and stabbed towards Pu Chu in the surprised eyes of everyone!!
"Senpai!"
