Chapter Seventy-Five: The Hundred Flowers Festival Turmoil (Part II)
In the main hall of the Hundred Flowers Palace, all the elders and hall masters have arrived.
Both sides of the hall were full of people, but no one expected that on the ground inside the main hall, there was a long black pitch thing.
It meanders all the way to beneath the throne of the main hall.
Huo Qingxin only saw from a distance at first, there was a long line that seemed to be like a black dragon.
When she got closer, her face had changed dramatically.
This thing that looks like a black snake from a distance is a reddish coal!
Although the surface is black, under the blackness, there is a dark red fire.
Instantly, a bad premonition rose in my heart.
At this time, an elder on the side urged.
"Please take off your shoes and socks and walk barefoot on this road."
Walking barefoot through this road, which is neither long nor short, paved with coals, is something that every palace master must go through before taking office.
Seeing the two maids beside him, he was about to come up to help serve Huo Qingxin and take off his shoes and socks.
Huo Qingxin suddenly took a big step back behind them when they squatted down!
Before that, no one had told her that there would be such a thing as walking charcoal today.
Originally, everything in the past few days was very passive, and now she is forced to go to this coal.
She is a human, not a puppet, not a captive.
The eyes of all the people fell on her.
Looking at the throne that belonged to the palace master of the Hundred Flowers Palace in the direction of the coals, Huo Qing snorted coldly in disdain.
"Humph! You're really a good hand! ”
As he spoke, he moved his gaze directly to a middle-aged man standing under the throne.
"Elder Fu! If you don't want me to sit in this seat, why bother? ”
She is not a fool, Fu Rong and the elders are so anxious to let her take over the position of palace master, it is strange.
Now, she has bypassed everything in the Hundred Flowers Festival, allowing her to go directly to this fire coal and sit on the throne of the palace master.
For people who don't know anything, who can bear to walk barefoot and white-faced on this coal.
She could only guess that this was Fu Rong's way to make it difficult for her and make her retreat.
But why did he go around in such a big circle to do these things?
Fu Rong was very innocent, putting on the style of a great elder.
"Where did the palace master start with this, before the new masters took over, according to the regulations, they had to walk barefoot through the coals, this rule was set by the ancestors, and the old man just acted according to the palace rules."
This statement is not leaky, and it seems very convincing.
He did this just to make Huo Qingxin retreat in front of everyone.
As the old minister of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Fu Rong would never do anything obvious to rebel against the Hundred Flowers Palace, and tarnish the reputation of the Fu family that has been operating for many years.
Hearing Huo Qingxin here, he couldn't help but feel even more ridiculous.
Unhurriedly, he took out the palace master token from his waist, and with a little luck, he threw the thing directly to the person not far away.
Fu Rong hurriedly took the thing, turned over his hand and saw that the token of the Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace had already arrived in his hand.
"This is what you want, if you want to sit in the seat of the palace master, this charcoal fire will be left to you."
After saying that, the person had already turned around, intending to leave the main hall.
Seeing this, Fu Rong hurriedly said, "Stop her quickly!" ”
With an order, the guards standing at the door directly blocked Huo Qingxin's way.
And at this time, Wen Xun and Ji Chen, who were already hidden at the entrance of the hall, suddenly appeared.
The conversation in their hall just now, both of them had already heard it.
As expected, Fu Rong had already expected that he would not be able to go to the altar tonight to worship, and let people arrange these in the main hall to embarrass Huo Qingxin.
Wen Xun glanced at the two spears that were stopped in front of Huo Qingxin at this time, his fingers moved slightly, and the weapons that crossed together were instantly broken.
Fu Rong, who was standing in the main hall, didn't expect Wen Xun to make a move, and said fearlessly.
"Sect Master Wen, this is a matter within the Hundred Flowers Palace, and please don't interfere too much with the two sect masters!"
When Ji Chen heard this, he snorted coldly.
"Humph! A small elder, with such a big breath, if I Poison King Sect leads the crowd to commit today, what can you do to me! ”
When the words fell, Fu Rong's face had become very ugly.
At this time, Wen Xun spoke, "I will not interfere in the affairs of your Hundred Flowers Palace, it's just that Huo Qingxin is a person from my Medicine King Sect, and I came here today to bring her back to the Medicine King Sect." ”
At this moment, the elders in the hall, the hall master, began to talk to each other.
"She's from the Medicine King Sect?"
"How is this good, the master of Qinghe Palace personally handed over the token to her, if she doesn't take over the Hundred Flowers Palace, then who should sit here."
"Now the affairs of the palace, big and small, are in the hands of the Great Elder, I think the Great Elder wants to do this...
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, who in the rivers and lakes doesn't know, the Hundred Flowers Palace has always been dominated by women, and men can't practice the Hundred Flowers magic skill. Even if the Great Elder had the heart to replace him, it would be useless! ”
"Have you forgotten that the Great Elder also has an only daughter...
。。。。。。。。。。。。
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and Fu Rong, who had planned everything for a while, couldn't get off the stage.
He really wanted his daughter to take over the Hundred Flowers Palace, but he didn't want to bear the infamy of rebellion, so he came up with such a trick to kill two birds with one stone!
can not only protect his reputation, but also pave the way for his daughter to take over the position of palace master in the future.
Today is Huo Qingxin's inauguration ceremony on the surface, but in fact, it is forcing her to abdicate automatically.
And he must look at Huo Qingxin and walk on this coal, this scene is enough, and it can also convince everyone in the sect.
But now, because of the turmoil between Wen Xun and Ji Chen, how should it end.
Wen Xun also heard everyone's discussions, and pressed again.
"Now that the Qinghe Palace Master has not yet been buried, Elder Fu is so anxious to hold a new palace master, and he is not afraid of being criticized by the world!"
There are no three hundred taels of silver here, and Fu Rong is indeed too anxious.
Thinking about it, his Fu family has been diligent and loyal to the palace masters of previous generations.
Now in his generation, he finally controlled some forces, but let a girl of unknown origin easily take away the position of palace master.
How could he be willing!
And these words also instantly sparked a lot of discussion again, and everyone began to guess Fu Rong's motives for this move.
Could it be that he really wanted to completely control everything in the Hundred Flowers Palace?
Faced with more and more doubts, Fu Rong gradually became a little overwhelmed. All the images he had set up before, but now he was easily crushed by Wen Xun's words.
He was already panicked, so he simply ordered directly.
"Someone! Invite Sect Master Wen and Sect Master Ji out of the Hundred Flowers Palace! ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and even the two men who had not yet entered the hall raised their eyebrows.
This is a direct order to evict the guests, to drive them out.
But who are Wen Xun and Ji Chen, no matter how powerful Fu Rong is in the Hundred Flowers Palace, in front of these two men, no one dares to make a move easily.
Otherwise, I don't know how he died when the time comes.
Fu Rong saw the guards outside the hall, all of them looked at each other, hesitated, and shouted angrily.
"Don't do it yet! Don't you all want to live anymore?! ”
The guards who were at a loss for what to do, after hearing this, couldn't scruple too much, and they were about to drive the two of them into the rainy night.
And Wen Xun also heard the greasy in these words!
And his suspicions were right, for the sake of these guards to be better and more heartily used by him.
Fu Rong had already let them take the poison, and he would only give half an antidote every few days, and if anyone didn't comply, he would definitely die of poison.
Even if someone worked for him in order to survive, how much of a threat could these guards pose to Ji Chen and Wen Xun.
The two of them did it directly, and the guards who were about to drive them out were solved in three or two clicks.
And after knocking people unconscious, in order to verify his guess, Wen Xun had already taken the pulse of several of them.
As he expected, these subordinates were all poisoned in the same way.
When Ji Chen saw his actions, he also came up to check, and also found out about the poisoning.
Ironically again, "The Great Elder is such a good means! He actually fed poison to his subordinates! ”
As soon as these words came out, the other elders and hall masters present all looked at the person who was already panicked in shock.
At this moment, Fu Rong's ambition is like Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.
Just when he was panicked and didn't know what to do, a person rushed in outside the hall on a rainy night.
Someone shouted, "Daddy! Don't go wrong any more! ”
Hearing this shout was the last straw that broke Fu Rong's heart.
The person who came was none other than Fu Ying.
At this time, she was already soaked and went directly into the main hall.
For everything Fu Rong did, she didn't know, she just pretended not to know.
But in the face of such a situation today, if she doesn't stand up, with her understanding of her father, in order to take care of the face of the Fu family, Fu Rong is bound to do something even more unexpected to everyone.
Walking slowly, he was already in front of a person with an embarrassed face.
Dissuaded, "Dad, Miss Huo has no intention of being the palace master, why do you want to do this, it is difficult for a strong person to do a meaningless thing." ”
After going around in such a big circle, didn't he just want Huo Qingxin to be in public, embarrassed and give up automatically!
Then he himself can justifiably let her sit in the position of the palace master.
When Fu Rong heard his daughter say this, his wrinkled face showed rare love.
"Do all this for your father's sake!"
In order to let her have no worries, but also to prevent others from pointing fingers behind her back.
"Dad, let Miss Huo go, the position of the palace master, no matter who it is, is it really that important! Have you ever asked me what I think? ”
Sitting in this seat, you have the right and enjoy the dignity, but you have to give up more precious things.
She would rather be just the daughter of an ordinary family, and be an ordinary person, isn't it?
This is Huo Qingxin's these days, in the Hundred Flowers Palace, the only person who hears her here, calls her Miss Huo.
I can't help but admire this Fu Ying in my heart!
Sure enough, the bell must be tied to the bell, and Fu Ying's words made her father completely silent.
After Huo Qingxin looked at it for a while, he bypassed the long road of fire coals and came to Fu Ying's side.
went up directly and pulled out the token that was still in Fu Rong's hand just now.
Then, under his stunned gaze, she handed the palace master token to Fu Ying.
"Miss Fu, I'll give you this token. In the future, the Hundred Flowers Palace, whether you sit on the throne of the palace master or someone else. This token will be kept by you! You deserve it more than any of them. ”
"Miss Huo..."
"Call me Qingxin, don't blame your father too much, he just wants to pave the way for your future."
This reminded her of Huo Ying, a parent in the world, who doesn't love her child.
So at this moment, she has no complaints about Fu Rong.
At the critical moment, looking at the character, she believes in Fu Ying's character...
