Extras XIV
The fire was raging, and it burned almost everything in Fengtai.
Just as the fire was about to be extinguished, a motorcade of horses and horses arrived in a hurry.
The leader is the henchmen of the thirteen princes.
As soon as they arrived, the speed of extinguishing the fire immediately accelerated, and the raging fire was completely extinguished without half a pillar of incense.
When the fire was extinguished, the leader rushed headlong into the charcoal-like courtyard.
There are three water tanks in the courtyard.
The lid on the tank had been burned to ashes, and a fallen beam had smashed into the tank.
The tank was not broken.
The man rushed in and went straight to the tank.
Zhou Heser huddled in the water tank, and was about to poke out in horror to see how the fire was outside, when a gloomy face appeared in front of him.
Zhou Hejie was really startled, and he cried out.
"What's your name?" The man stood in front of the water tank, fished Zhou He out of the water tank, put him on the ground at will, and asked with a cold face.
Zhou He was dripping with water, shook his head, and looked around with fear.
"What, how...... What about them? ”
The words he asked were not answered, and the man was very displeased, his face sank, and his face was full of fierce murderous aura, "Let me ask you, what is your name?" ”
Zhou He closed his gaze and looked at the person in front of him in fear, "I don't have a name." ”
"No name?"
"They all call me a broom star."
The man......
"Where's your father and your mother?"
"I don't have a father."
Zhou He's small face was full of sadness, "They all have a father, but I don't, they say, I'm a broom star, and my father doesn't want me and throws me out." ”
The man......
The corners of his mouth trembled, he should be the eldest son of the Thirteenth Master.
"I'll take you home."
As he spoke, he turned his head and strode out.
Zhou He didn't move.
Not hearing the footsteps that followed, the man turned around, "Why don't you leave?" ”
Zhou He looked dazed, "Where are you going?" This is my home. ”
The man didn't bother to explain to him, so he took a few steps back, picked up Zhou He and walked out.
was so frightened that Zhou He squeaked and screamed.
"Who are you, let me down, come on, come on, kidnappers and grab people! Come on! ”
Zhou He shouted desperately, but the people in Zhuangzi had long since lost their breath, and the villagers did not dare to step forward because of the momentum of these people.
What's more, it was taken away, and it was a small broom star on Zhuangzi.
If you don't have a father or a mother, who will care.
Zhou He's face was buried in the man's back, and he waved his hand back and forth, shouting for help.
The man ignored Zhou He, carried him directly on the horse, put him in front of him, and rode away with people.
Palace.
The Imperial Study.
A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day.
His Majesty and Niangniang died violently together, but the affairs of the court and the state cannot be delayed.
As the emperor's only blood relative, the thirteen princes, the emperor's younger brother, were naturally promoted to the position of prison country.
said that he was in charge of the country, but he was just waiting for the filial piety period to pass and choose a day to ascend the throne.
The gray-white dark pattern brocade robe was worn on his body, and the thirteen princes' eyebrows and eyes showed excitement that could not be concealed.
The abbot of the Big Buddha Temple, Master Red Candle, had a compassionate face, and stood there with his eyes, nose, nose, and heart, and his voice was full of sadness.
"Your Highness, rest assured, Lao Wei will definitely do a good job of His Majesty and Niangniang's court."
The thirteenth prince propped his hands on the wide table in front of him, and his momentum was vigorous.
"Do you remember the dream you said in the morning? Is there anything missing? ”
The Red Candle Master was stunned for a moment, glanced at the Thirteen Princes, and immediately put his hands together and recited a Buddha name.
"Amitabha, sins and sins, the old monk is really ......"
Early this morning, the Red Candle Master entered the palace.
Retired from everyone in front of the thirteenth prince and told him a dream.
Master Red Candle said that he dreamed of the dead His Majesty and Niangniang, and they said that they were resentful of death, especially the Queen Mother, and she said that she was blessed with spiritual power, even if she was killed by someone, but her spiritual power could also rain down thunder and fire and burn the enemy to ashes.
In the dream of the Red Candle Master, a child with a blurred face appeared,
He knelt on the ground reverently and prayed for the safety of his family.
Behind him, the fire was raging, and the dead queen mother let out an angry roar.
In this dream, the red candle master was afraid of any ominous signs, so he waited for the thirteen princes to enter the palace early in the morning and return to the palace.
When the thirteenth prince got this, his expression froze at that time.
How the emperor and queen died, he knows clearly.
But this old monk would never know.
This old monk and the queen are friends who are irreversible, what is he thinking?
The Thirteenth Prince was not sure what the Red Candle Master had told him early in the morning, so he didn't say much, but only said that he should do a good job of the emperor and the queen's transcendent dharma, and he couldn't slack off for 7749 days a day.
At that time, as soon as the Red Candle Master left, the Thirteen Princes summoned the Deqing Daoist.
This Dao Chang was invited by him to trigger the Thousand Machines Gu in the queen's body.
Talking about the dream of the Red Candle Master, Daoist Deqing's face suddenly changed greatly.
"Lord, this is a mother's dream."
"Dream?"
"After the death of Niangniang and His Majesty, the soul is reluctant to leave, but there is no trusted person to entrust, this dream, I am afraid that it will be entrusted to the Red Candle Master."
Touching his beard, Deqing Daoist wandered twice on the ground, a thin smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's a pity that this red candle master didn't understand the meaning, but he only thought that there was some omen coming, which was not good for the country, so he came to inform you."
The Thirteenth Prince pondered this, "What do you mean, the Red Candle Master is not here to test me?" ”
Deqing Daoist smiled, "Temptation? How can it be! He doesn't know anything, what does he tempt! He just had a terrible dream, lest something bad happen, just tell you, after all, in this world, you are the Ninety-Five, he can only tell you. ”
"Then the kid he said ......"
"Poor Dao guesses, that kid may be your flesh and blood, but this is just a dream, the prince doesn't have to think about it, Qianji Gu is so domineering, don't say that it is the queen's soul, even if the queen is not dead, as long as Poor Dao touches that Gu worm again, she will also roll all over the ground."
These words satisfied the thirteen princes.
However, Deqing Dao's long words reminded him that in Fengtai's Zhuangzi, he did have a child.
At that time, the tofu girl fell into his eyes, and he intended to stay in the mansion as a concubine.
Which Cheng thought that the princess was too jealous, and actually poisoned the person on the night of the tofu girl's birth.
Such a poisonous woman, he feels a chill down his spine when he thinks about it now.
Fortunately, God opened his eyes at that time, and an assassin came.
Kill the poisonous woman.
The past flashed, and the thirteen princes hesitated, and finally sent someone to Fengtai to take the child back to see.
It's just that he didn't expect that he sent out people on the front foot, and Lord Liu, the Qintianjian on the back foot, came.
Lord Liu replied, and Qin Tian calculated that there was a fire in the south direction of Kyoto, and this fire was not an extraordinary fire, and it may not be able to burn an open flame, but the earth fire and dark fire already existed, and once there was an open flame, it would definitely cause a large-scale fire.
As soon as he heard this, the face of the thirteen princes suddenly changed greatly.
"Not mortal fire?"
"The dangerous moon swallow rushes to the moon, and it coincides with the heavy earth fire due south, and the earth fire and dark fire formed by the condensation of evil qi, this kind of fire is also commonly known as the hell fire."
"How?"
Lord Liu shook his head, "I can't resolve it, I can only wait for this evil qi to dissipate." ”
"How long will it take?"
Lord Liu had a melancholy face, "If someone sincerely prays for His Highness, and this person's life can suppress this evil qi, it can be resolved immediately, but if there is no such person, I am afraid that it will take two or three months, and two or three months will ......."
"How about two or three months?"
"The evil gas is too strong, once it encounters an open flame, it is a fire that pours the sky, but Your Highness, the open flame, the fire candle is also an open flame, and the stove fire for cooking rice is also an open flame, it is impossible to prevent it, and this evil gas can be dissipated without a fire. When a fire is kindled, if no one dies, it is just that, once someone dies, the resentment will merge into the evil spirit. ”
When the thirteen princes heard this, their faces turned white.
He suddenly thought of the dream that the Red Candle Master had had.
Before, he was still afraid of the Red Candle Master.
After all, this is someone who has a deep friendship with succession.
Can ...... now
He believed what Deqing Daoist said.
Although this Red Candle Master has a deep relationship with the succession, he does not know the truth of the succession's death, so there is no targeting and hostility towards him.
The dream he said was just a kind reminder to him.
Seeing that the emperor was scorched, Lord Liu said, "Lord Wang, the most important thing at the moment is to quickly find the person who can dissolve the evil spirit. ”
"Is this a child?" The Thirteenth Prince blurted out.
Lord Liu was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while.
"I mean, the person you talked about who can break the evil spirit, but is he a child?"
Lord Liu hurriedly shook his head, "This, the minister hasn't calculated yet." ”
The thirteenth prince picked up the cup in his hand and threw it at him.
"I didn't figure it out, you came to tell this king what to do! Doesn't it make me happy to be happy? ”
was hit by a blow from the cup, and Lord Liu hurriedly knelt down.
"What is the pestle doing here, go and count!" The thirteenth prince said angrily.
Drove away Lord Liu, and the Thirteen Princes immediately summoned the Red Candle Master.
This is the time.
The Red Candle Master carefully recalled his "dream" and shook his head, "What the old man saw in his dream has already told His Highness everything. ”
"The kid in the fire, do you see clearly?"
The Red Candle Master shook his head, "No, the child's face is blurred, and the old man can't see it clearly. ”
"What about the size?"
"The size of the body ......" the Red Candle Master frowned and shook his head, "I can't remember exactly, at that time, the old man was only shocked by the scene in his dream." ”
After a pause, the Red Candle Master said: "Your Highness, this dream may just be caused by the old man's excessive grief over the death of His Majesty and the Empress Mother, and it doesn't mean anything. ”
The corners of the Thirteenth Prince's mouth moved.
Means, of course!
As the two were talking, footsteps sounded outside, and a small chamberlain pushed open the door of the imperial study and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, the person has been brought back." ”
The Red Candle Master turned his head to look at it in confusion.
The thirteenth prince said, "Bring it in!" ”
The door of the imperial study was pushed open, and a small child in ragged clothes, with a panicked face and even trembling all over, was pushed in.
He was joined by the current leader of the Forbidden Army.
"Your Highness, when the minister went to Fengtai, Zhuangzi was being burned by fire."
In a word, the thirteenth prince's face turned pale.
The Red Candle Master was so shocked that his eyelids jumped, he looked over in astonishment, and blurted out: "What! Blaze? ”
The leader of the forbidden army politely nodded at the Red Candle Master, and then continued to reply.
"I heard from the villagers that the fire was suddenly ignited, the fire was so fierce that they did not completely extinguish it for two hours, and when the ministers waited, it was indeed the fire that had burned Zhuangzi to coals."
As he spoke, he glanced at the child beside him.
Because this child was raised in Zhuangzi as soon as he was born, the Thirteen Princes never admitted that he had a son, so for a while, the leader of the forbidden army was not sure about the attitude of the Thirteen Princes towards this child at this moment.
"He found it from the water tank in the courtyard, but he knew that he hid it in the water tank, but the fire was too big, and his hair had been burned."
The thirteenth prince looked at the child in front of him.
Zhou He took a pill given to him by Master Red Candle, and the pill made his face change slightly.
He looks like the original him, but he is not the same person.
He looked at the man behind the table with wide eyes and dazed horror.
That his enemy!
He wanted to rush up and bite this man to death right now, but he couldn't.
Not only can't, but he still has to call this man dad.
Clenching his fists, Zhou He tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart.
The thirteenth prince looked at the child in front of him, who was about four or five years old, and for a while, his heart was complicated.
"What's your name?"
Zhou He closed his mouth tightly and did not speak.
The leader of the forbidden army said: "Your Highness, the minister asked, and he said that he has no name, and everyone calls him a broom star." ”
The thirteenth prince's face suddenly darkened.
His son, without a name, is called Broom Star?!
"How old are you?"
Zhou He still kept his mouth shut.
The leader of the forbidden army didn't know, so he bowed his head and said to Zhou He: "Your Highness asks you, and you say." ”
Zhou He looked afraid of him, shrunk his shoulders, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, no one told me how old I am." ”
Thirteen Princes......
"And what about your father?"
Zhou He shook his head, "I don't have a father, they say, I am a little slave that my father and mother don't want, and they picked it up." ”
The face of the thirteenth prince was completely blackened into the bottom of the pot.
This is his son.
He can not wait to see, why should those minions on the Zhuangzi trample on his son!
He will not see his son again, and he is also the master of Zhuangzi.
Now the master is so humiliated by the servant.
If it weren't for the damned ones who had been burned to death by the fire, he would have crushed them to ashes.
"Are you scared of the fire?"
Zhou He shook his head, nodded again, and his voice was choked.
"I'm scared."
The Thirteenth Prince glanced at the Red Candle Master, and then turned to the child and said, "What were you thinking when it was on fire?" ”
"I ...... I'm thinking about my dad. ”
The thirteenth prince's eyelids moved, "You don't have a father?" ”
"They said that I don't have a father, I can't be a crack in the stone, I think, I always have a father, I thought, everyone outside was burned to death, what will I do in the future, I don't know where to find my father, I just look forward to it, if my father can come to me."
As he spoke, he glanced up at the leader of the Forbidden Army.
Thirteen Princes......
Look what he does!
It's true that he brought you back, and he's not your father!
Commander of the Forbidden Army......
