Chapter 11: Unpopular
"It's the Taoist who is back, and I really mean that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive."
Li Xiaoyao was the first to react.
Zhao Ling'er was chewing on the word "Pujia", and seemed to be a little unsure why the Taoist chief chose the word "Pujia" as the child's name.
The holy aunt on the side bowed slightly, and said: "The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yiren is on the water side." ”
"Pujia, Pujia, good name."
Lu Fengqiu's figure appeared in front of everyone.
Li Xiaoyao walked up to Lu Fengqiu with the child in his arms and asked Lu Fengqiu to see how cute his daughter was.
He has no ink on his chest, and he hasn't read a few books since he was a child, but he doesn't know what the pujia in his mouth means.
Li Xiaoyao looked at Lu Fengqiu a little confused, and said: "Dao Chief, what is the canopy, white dew is frost, the so-called Yiren is on the water side."
Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly and said, "This is the Pujia chapter in the Book of Poetry. ”
Li Xiaoyao said: "Then what does this Pujia mean?"
Lu Fengqiu paced: "Pu refers to reeds without long spikes. Jia, refers to the newborn reed. ”
Li Xiaoyao muttered: "It turns out that the meaning of Pujia is reed, isn't that grass." ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled: "You can also understand it this way. ”
Li Xiaoyao looked at the daughter in his arms and teased: "Cao'er, Xiaocao'er, in the future, your big name will be called Li Pujia, and your nickname will be Li Xiaocao." ”
"Li Pujia, Li Xiaocao."
"Hey, yes, that's a good name."
Li Xiaoyao shook the child and muttered in his mouth.
Zhao Ling'er on the side reacted a little.
"The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yi people, on the water side."
"The Taoist chief named the child Pujia, is to hope that the child's growth is as tough as a reed, as a descendant of the girl, from birth there is a noble bloodline, but it is this noble blood that makes the child have a shackle."
"Therefore, the Taoist chief hopes that the child will let go of this shackle, like the reed, although it is ordinary, but the vitality is tenacious."
"Besides, the pamper, the pamper, doesn't it represent another meaning, that is a symbol of deep affection between men and women."
Thinking of this, Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but look towards Li Xiaoyao, who was becoming more and more responsible.
For a while, I couldn't help but recall her and her brother's past.
The most beautiful love in the world is not love at first sight, but after love at first sight, it is shared with hardships and hardships, and love is born over time.
Love is never a constant layer, it will mature with the deepening of the years.
Some people scatter as they walk.
But some people walked and walked to the white head.
Zhao Ling'er completely understood the meaning of the Taoist chief's name Pujia.
Zhao Ling'er looked at Lu Fengqiu, but suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Sister Yueru?"
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he said quietly: "Poor Dao left her in Chang'an. ”
Zhao Ling'er was very smart, and she sighed slightly for Lin Yueru in her heart.
I was not born, and I was old.
I'm afraid that Sister Yueru will regret it for the rest of her life.
At this time, Li Xiaoyao walked to Zhao Ling'er with the child in his arms and said to Zhao Ling'er: "Ling'er, you see how happy Xiaocao is smiling." ”
"Other people's children are born crying, but our grass is laughing, and it looks like a pistachio."
Zhao Ling'er smiled slightly, but the holy aunt on the side looked at the door and was quite disappointed to see that no one came in.
Seeing this, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help laughing and said: "This time, Poor Dao came back, firstly, to send you back to the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom, and secondly, to completely destroy that water demonic beast, and to prevent future troubles." ”
"Moreover, once the water monster is broken, the harm caused will definitely be great, so the poor Dao Xiang invited Shushan Mo Daoyou to lead the disciples of Shushan to come to help."
When the holy aunt on the side heard this, an inexplicable look flashed on her face.
When Zhao Ling'er heard this, she couldn't help but say to Lu Fengqiu: "That's really good, Dao Master made a move, and the water demon beast was definitely going to be destroyed." ”
Lu Fengqiu said: "Ling'er, in fact, the water monster is not the biggest scourge of Nanzhao Kingdom, the biggest disaster of Nanzhao Country is that people's hearts are in turmoil. ”
When Zhao Ling'er heard this, her face showed a thoughtful look.
The Nanban general on the side said quite domineeringly: "The Lunatic Sect Master has been eliminated by the Dao Chief, and now although there are still Lunatic Cultists in the country who are making trouble, but without the Lunatic Sect Master, they are a gang of rabble, and they will be swept away in a few days." ”
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he just shook his head and smiled.
Zhao Ling'er on the side said firmly: "No matter what, this time when I enter Beijing, Ling'er will definitely persuade my father to eradicate the Moon Worship Sect!" ”
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he said: "The Lunatic Cult has a deep foundation in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and there are too many believers, I am afraid that in the current Nanzhao Kingdom, the people who want to eradicate the Lunatic Worship Sect are far lower than the people who want to avenge the Lunatic Sect Master." ”
"When people's hearts are in turmoil, the country will not exist."
"Ling'er, you have to be mentally prepared enough, if you want to stabilize the country and the country, you must shed blood."
"Although the foolish people deserve death, but the people are also divided into obedient people and mobs, and the ruler of a country should not leave anything to chance, but should hold a sword in one hand and a good hand in the other."
Zhao Ling'er heard the words and chewed these two sentences carefully.
"A knife in one hand, kindness in the other."
After a while, Zhao Ling'er seemed to realize something, she bowed slightly towards Lu Fengqiu, and said, "Thank you Dao Chang for your advice, Ling'er knows what to do." “
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he was also the head of his jaw.
The main reason why he wanted to help Zhao Ling'er so much was that Zhao Ling'er had dropped two drops of essence blood on the little peach tree in the Yuquan Temple.
The descendants of the Nuwa tribe, who are kind-natured, should no longer carry the heavy shackles from now on.
……
The physique of the descendants of the Nuwa tribe is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, ordinary people have just given birth, and they must not be able to go to the ground, otherwise they will definitely leave sequelae in the future.
But Zhao Ling'er, as a descendant of Nuwa, has a strong physique that allows her to move freely just a few days after giving birth.
Although giving birth to a child is a bit depressing, it is not so delicate that you can't even walk.
On this day, the north wind howled, and Lu Fengqiu summoned the spirit sword he had refined with his own hands, the Haoyue Sword.
The Haoyue Sword becomes a sword on the night of the full moon, although it is not made of precious materials, but it can be satisfactory and change in size.
At its smallest, the sword was only three inches.
When the sword is the largest, it can be as long as three zhang.
The most subtle thing about this alchemy technique lies in the use of talismans, which blesses the talisman array on it and makes it change as desired.
Lu Fengqiu had already studied some talismans, so after studying the alchemy technique for several days, he was able to create such a flying sword with his own hands.
The Haoyue Sword carried everyone and flew towards the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom.
The capital of Nanzhao is not far from Dali, and the speed of the flying sword is not fast, Lu Fengqiu is to take care of the newborn Li Xiaocao, although he is protected by the wind, but he is not in a hurry, and there is no need to gallop.
However, it still didn't take half an hour, and everyone arrived at the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom.
……
Ever since the death of the Lunatic Cult Master, the Nanzhao Kingdom has actually been in chaos.
Especially in the national capital of Nanzhao, almost every household has hung up white cloths, and even more, they jointly sat in front of the big altar of the national capital and asked the emperor of Nanzhao to send troops to severely punish the murderer who killed the moon worship leader.
There were already many ordinary people who sat in front of the great altar for several days, and every day they did not do anything, and when they got up in the morning, it was like going to work, and they went to sit in front of the great altar in groups, and in the evening they went home to rest, and the next day it was still the same.
As soon as this incident came out, Zhao Ye, the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom, could be regarded as worried.
Originally, he was quite happy when the Lunatic Cult Master died, but who would have thought that although the Lunatic Cult Master was dead, his influence was still very great.
Moreover, there are still those remnants of the Lunatic Cult, who have controlled all parts of the Nanzhao Kingdom for ten years, how can they easily give up the interests that have been obtained.
Zhao Ye was originally an indecisive character, and his ears were extremely soft, and he was easily bewitched by others.
Otherwise, there would not have been a public trial of witches back then, and if this person was stupid, even a pig would be better than him.
Fortunately, Shi Gonghu was not dead at this time, as a veteran of the three dynasties of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, his temperament has always been a hardliner.
In the face of the tens of thousands of protests of the people every day, Shi Gonghu's suggestion was to directly arrest those who should be arrested and killed.
But Zhao Ye disagreed, saying that the people were innocent, and it was the fault of the widows to make mistakes.
In the palace of the king of Nanzhao.
Zhao Ye was holding his head with one hand, looking at the official document on the case at a loss.
Although the Nanzhao Kingdom is not a large place, it also has nearly two million people.
He still underestimated the Moon Worship Sect Master's encroachment on all parts of the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Now, not only the people in the capital are demanding that the murderer of the Lunatic Master be severely punished, but also the people of other places are demanding that the murderer of the Lunatic Master be severely punished.
There is already a faint tendency for civil unrest to break out in various localities.
Zhao Ye stood up, looked at this splendid hall, and couldn't help but say, "Why is this happening, why is this happening?"
"All sides are guilty, and the sin is bowing!"
"God, why do you play tricks on me like this, the people are innocent, and I will be taught to bear all the blame alone, why let these innocent people be involved in this right and wrong"
Zhao Ye's eyes were full of melancholy.
At this moment, a guard outside the main hall came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the princess is back." ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, he immediately got up, the melancholy on his face was swept away, he looked at the guard and said, "What did you say The princess is back?"
The guard replied, "Yes, the princess has entered the palace and will be escorted back by the Holy Aunt and the Nanban general. ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Hurry up, let the princess come here, the widow wants to see her." ”
The guard said with a difficult face: "Your Majesty, there is still one matter that needs to be decided by Your Majesty. ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What's the matter?"
The guard said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the one who returned to the palace with the princess is also the Qingyun Daoist who killed the Lunatic Sect Master, if it is known by the Lunatic Sect people, this Daoist is back to the palace with the princess, and meets Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Lunatic Cultists will use this to incite the people, and the consequences may be unimaginable, please think twice, please think twice." ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
His good mood, which had taken a sharp turn, instantly turned solemn again.
He kept wandering through the hall.
In the end, do you want to meet the Qingyun Dao people?
It stands to reason that the Qingyun Dao people eradicated the Moon Worship Sect Master and gave him a great favor to the Nanzhao Kingdom.
But at the moment, the domestic situation is not optimistic.
If he once met with that Qingyun Dao person, I am afraid that it would really arouse the anger of the people as expected.
He had already seen the horror of public anger back then.
It was precisely because of the people's anger that he was forced to a dead end step by step, and he had to be tried in front of the people of the national capital.
The woman he loved was put on trial.
In the end, the witch queen died at the bottom of the lake for the people of Nanzhao.
It has also become a pain that he has hidden in his heart for ten years.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but pat the column on the side with one hand, and then sighed heavily, and said: "Spread the widow's will, let the princess go back to Minluo Palace to rest first, and tomorrow, the widow will meet the princess again." ”
"As for the Qingyun Dao people, the widow is gone, let the princess be hospitable, give her fifty taels of gold, a pair of jade and jade, let him go out of the palace, it's best to stay away from Nanzhao."
When the guard heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "The minister understands, the minister will do it." ”
With that, the guard turned and was about to leave.
Witch King Zhao Ye suddenly said again: "Wait! Spread the widow's will and let the great elder come to the palace quickly. ”
"By the way, also, you must closely monitor the movements of the people in the city, and remember not to spread the news that the Qingyun Dao people have come to the national capital."
When the guard heard this, he bowed and retreated.
Witch King Zhao Ye paced in the main hall, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "I'm sorry, for the stability of the Nanzhao Kingdom, the widow can only do this." ”
……
Entered the palace.
Zhao Ling'er's face obviously had a lot of joy.
After all, there is her biological father in this palace.
After ten years of separation, flesh and blood are separated.
Naturally, she wanted to meet her biological father.
Along the way, there are guards to lead the way.
But before he arrived at the palace where the Witch King lived, someone from the palace came to pass on the Witch King's will, asking Zhao Ling'er to go to Minluo Palace to rest first.
When Zhao Ling'er heard this, she had to agree.
However, at this moment, the people of the palace changed their words again.
Raising his hand directly, two palace people walked out behind him with two plates.
The palace said: "This is a gift from Your Majesty to Daoist Qingyunzi, Your Majesty said, I hope Daoist Qingyunzi will not stay in Nanzhao Country for a long time." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ling'er was reluctant.
She immediately frowned and said: "Presumptuous, Daoist Qingyunzi is a distinguished guest of my Nanzhao Kingdom, and this time I came to help my Nanzhao Kingdom eliminate the great trouble, how dare you be so rude!" ”
When the palace people heard this, they bowed to Zhao Ling'er and said, "The princess is angry, and the old slave is only passing on the decree according to His Majesty's will, and there is no lie." ”
"Now that the domestic situation is critical, please forgive Your Majesty for your painstaking efforts."
Zhao Ling'er's face was unhappy, and the beautiful imagination of her father in her heart also began to collapse at this moment.
She said coldly: "Okay, you take this thing back, tomorrow I will meet my father, and I will naturally make a plan!" ”
Seeing this, the people in the palace had to leave quietly.
Li Xiaoyao, who was holding the child on the side, couldn't help but say: "This witch king is really as soft as ever, the lunar-worshipping sect masters are all dead, and they are still so jealous of the lunar-worshipping cultists." ”
When they entered the capital, they all saw the people sitting in front of the great altar, numbering in the tens of thousands, and with a little attention, they could see why the witch king behaved like this.
If it weren't for the witch king being Li Xiaoyao's father-in-law, Li Xiaoyao would have cursed a long time ago.
At the moment, I don't have the slightest good impression of the Witch King.
The old man who pits his wife and children really makes Li Xiaoyao have nothing to respect.
Zhao Ling'er looked at Lu Fengqiu apologetically, and said with some embarrassment: "Dao Chief, don't mind, maybe my father didn't mean that." ”
Lu Fengqiu waved his hand slightly, indifferently.
"The poor road is here, it is to kill the demon, the witch king welcomes the poor road or not, what does it have to do with the poor road, the poor road wants to stay, and if you want to go, no one can stop the poor road, no one can stop the poor road."
When Zhao Ling'er heard this, he only said: "Don't worry, if my father insists on going his own way, Ling'er will definitely not let him go on like this." ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly and said, "Nanzhao is not interested in state affairs, Ling'er is a smart person, and he should know how to deal with it." ”
"Right now, the most important thing is the water monster."
When Zhao Ling'er heard this, he said to Lu Fengqiu: "I'm tired of the Dao Chief, but it's getting late today, and it's not too late for the Dao Leader to leave tomorrow, and when the time comes, Ling'er and Brother Xiaoyao can also go with the Dao Chief." ”
Lu Fengqiu looked at the sky to the south, and then bowed slightly: "It's okay, Poor Dao has already sensed that the water demonic beast is restless, but it will take a few days to break through the seal, and in these few days, Poor Dao still has to make some preparations." ”
