Chapter 216: Take the sword
Towards the end of the year, Yin Xuan didn't really have much confidence in himself, but he still went to ask Nie Qingwan for advice, saying that he would go to ask Emperor Mountain and get the Son of Heaven Sword.
Nie Qingwan did not agree.
In March of the following year, Nie Qingwan sent Ren Ji and Nie Yin to accompany him to ask Emperor Mountain to take the sword of the Son of Heaven with Yin Xuan, and when he learned that Yin Xuan was going to ask Emperor Mountain to get the sword of the Son of Heaven, the ministers and the people were all boiling.
Even within the Yin royal family, there has been a lot of turmoil.
Yin De said: "If he can really retrieve the sword of the Son of Heaven, then I will really obey him." ”
Yin Tianye smiled, but did not speak.
Since the Queen Mother agreed, then Yin Xuan at this time, even if he was not ten percent sure of retrieving the Son of Heaven Sword, it would be eighty percent, plus the help of Ren Ji and Nie Yin, the probability of retrieving the Son of Heaven Sword would be higher.
What Yin Tianye cares about is not whether Yin Xuan can retrieve the Son of Heaven Sword, what Yin Tianye cares about is why the Queen Mother asked Yin Xuan to retrieve the Son of Heaven Sword so early, saying that it calms people's hearts, probably yes, but it is not the point.
Yin Xuan is not only the choice of the Mandate of Heaven, so far, it is also recognized by everyone, it doesn't matter when he becomes the prince, anyway, sooner or later he will be awarded the crown prince, and he will also ascend the throne as the emperor, and it will not be too late to take the sword of the Son of Heaven after being called the emperor, but the Queen Mother wants to urge him to take the sword of the Son of Heaven so early, if there are no other scruples in it, Yin Tianye will not believe it.
Yin Xuan is only ten years old this year, and a ten-year-old child, no matter how powerful he is, he may not be able to carry the evil qi and dragon qi of the Heavenly Son Sword.
So, what is the reason why the Queen Mother is so anxious?
Yin Tianye couldn't figure it out for the time being, but he always felt that something would happen, but recently, Great Yin was very peaceful, and the small countries around him were also very peaceful, and he didn't know what would happen.
No one could guess what Nie Qingwan was thinking, and Yin Xuan didn't know either, but he knew that if the Queen Mother wanted him to retrieve the Son of Heaven Sword, he had to retrieve it.
On the day of leaving, Nie Qingwan accompanied him to dinner, eating lunch, and at the end of lunch, Nie Qingwan took Yin Xuan's hand and pulled him all the way to the door of the dormitory, then looked at him and said, "I'm here waiting for you to come back." ”
Yin Xuan looked at her, Nie Qingwan was already thirteen years old at that time, she had grown taller, and her face was becoming more and more beautiful.
Yin Xuan lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the hand she was holding herself, and she said-I'm here waiting for you to come back.
Yin Xuan clenched Nie Qingwan's hand with his backhand, looked at her with dark and quiet eyes, and replied forcefully: "Well, I will definitely come back with the Son of Heaven Sword." ”
Nie Qingwan stretched out her other hand and hugged him, then let go of him and said, "Go ahead." ”
Yin Xuan stopped looking at her and turned around, and when he turned around, the hands hanging on his sides clenched tightly without a trace.
Ren Ji and Nie Yin said goodbye to Nie Qingwan and followed.
The three of them changed their clothes, rode out of the city, and hurried in the direction of Emperor Wenshan.
Ask the emperor mountain is the gateway of Dayin, not far from the imperial capital Huaicheng, but not close, riding a horse gallop, at least half a day, the three of them set off in the afternoon, until two o'clock in the evening to arrive, the surrounding mountains and mountains, rocks and rugged, not to mention villages and towns, not a single family.
The three of them rode to the foot of Emperor Wendi Mountain, Yin Xuan tightened the reins of the horse, looked up, but could not see the top of the mountain, the clouds and mist lingered around the mountain, blocking everything.
Yin Xuan couldn't see the top of the mountain, so he didn't look at it, he turned over and dismounted, pulled the horse to a tree and tied it, Ren Ji and Nie Yin saw it, and then turned over and dismounted, led the horse to the side of the tree, and tied the horse to the tree.
Yin Xuan clapped his hands, put his hands behind his back, and circled around, but he didn't see the way up the mountain, so he lifted his breath, stepped on the leaves, and flew halfway up the mountain after a few steps.
Ren Ji and Nie Yin saw each other, and they still followed.
Yin Xuan stood on a tree halfway up the mountain with his hands behind his back, although he was only ten years old, he was a little taller, but compared to Ren Ji and Nie Yin, he was still short, but as soon as he stood there, there was a majestic momentum, making him look extremely tall, the leaves were swaying, the wind blew his trouser legs, and his face was even more handsome between the clothes and the flying.
He was looking up, looking at the top of the mountain.
This time, I saw it.
It was not very clear, because the clouds and mist were lingering, the sky was dark, and even if there was moonlight, it was not very clear.
Ren Ji and Nie Yin stood behind him, and also glanced at the top of the mountain, Ren Ji said, "Just go up directly?" ”
Yin Xuan snorted lightly.
Nie Yin said: "It's best to rest for one night, eat some food, raise some energy and strength, and drive the horses for an afternoon, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it for a while, taking the sword of the Son of Heaven is not child's play, you can come again if you lose, if you lose, then there will be no second chance." ”
Yin Xuan twisted his eyebrows slightly and asked Nie Yin, "Why is there only one chance?" Can't take it out once, can't it be taken out twice? ”
Nie Yin said: "No, the people who have broken through the Emperor Mountain, whether they have broken through or not, have no chance to break through a second time." ”
Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows strangely: "Could it be that there are people guarding in front of the mountain gate?" ”
Nie Yin smiled: "Of course there are guards, do you think this is an empty mountain?" This is not an empty mountain, this is the Great Yin Empire since the ancestors of the emperor worship Zen, ask the sky of the mountain, there are mountain guards in all dynasties. ”
Yin Xuan sighed, his status was low before, and he really didn't know about these things.
Although he knew that he was going to come to ask Emperor Mountain to get the Sword of Heaven for more than a year, he didn't have the time to read books related to Emperor Mountain, just to read, but there was no one, right? It seems that there is no book in the library that is related to Wendi Mountain, so there is actually no historical record about Wendi Mountain, or in other words, the ancestors did not allow historians to write everything about Wendi Mountain.
There is only one chance, no second time.
Yin Xuan's eyebrows slightly gathered a hint of haze, he glanced at the top of the mountain again, turned around and flew down, and his voice came through the internal force: "Then find a place to eat first, sleep, and come back tomorrow." ”
There was no place to stay, and there was no town around, so the three of them rode horses for more than 200 miles, and then they saw a small town, and they entered the town, found a shop to eat, and found an inn to stay.
The next day before dawn, the three of them got up and checked out and left, and when they arrived at Wendi Mountain, the golden sunlight was already climbing along the perimeter of Wendi Mountain, shining on the surrounding yellow and clear, the golden light was shrouded in fog, like the holy land of Buddha, a little golden light shot out from the dense fog, sprinkled on the mountainside, crystal refraction, and it was beautiful in an instant.
This should be the most beautiful moment of the day in Emperor Wenshan, but Yin Xuan was not in the mood to look at it, he first tied the horse to the tree like yesterday, and then he carried his hand behind his back and jumped up.
Ren Ji and Nie Yin chased halfway up the mountain and stopped chasing.
Yin Xuan looked back at them.
Ren Ji said: "You can only go up alone." ”
Yin Xuan pursed his lips, is he alone?
He didn't say anything more, turned around and flew up to the top of the hill in the bright light that broke through the sky.
When he disappeared, Ren Ji and Nie Yin glanced at each other.
Ren Ji frowned and said: "Ninety-nine eighty-one danger, he has to spend at least a day, with the physical and mental strength of an adult, it can be supported, but, he is a ten-year-old child, it may not be able to hold on, moreover, it has been more than a year since the news that let him come to ask Emperor Mountain to take the sword of the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother guessed, when taking the sword of the Son of Heaven, someone must make a mistake, take this opportunity to kill him, or snatch the sword of the Son of Heaven, once the sword of the Son of Heaven of the Great Yin Empire is missing, the country will not be there, and the country will be turbulent, At this time, he may not be the only one who has entered the Emperor Mountain to break through. ”
Nie Yin's face was solemn, and he said: "The Queen Mother strictly ordered that nothing should happen to him, and the Son of Heaven Sword must also be taken out." ”
Ren Ji sighed, "Yes, so I'm going to break my oath to my ancestors once." ”
Nie Yin was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
Ren Ji smiled, didn't say, only said: "The Queen Mother asked me to come, just to ensure that nothing goes wrong, let you come, is to investigate who is behind the bad things, the Queen Mother asked Yin Xuan to take the Son of Heaven The purpose of the sword is not to consolidate Yin Xuan's position, but to cut off the surrounding small countries, whether it is surrendered or not, she will be owned by Da Yin, she will not let them secretly accumulate strength, one day become a real tiger, devouring Da Yin, therefore, the Queen Mother chose to take the initiative, originally for Yin Xuan, At this time, it was too reluctant to take the sword of the Son of Heaven, but the Queen Mother couldn't wait, so she released such a message to let the dissidents take the bait, your burden is heavier than mine, these people don't know where to pass and where to go, you have to find them one by one, then let's separate here first, and see you at the foot of the mountain in a while. ”
Of course, Nie Yin knew what she was doing here, she originally thought that Ren Ji was the same as her, but it turned out to be different.
What do you mean - I'm going to break my oath to my ancestors?
Ren Ji is the person who serves Emperor Yin Zu, Nie Yin is the person who serves Nie Qingwan, since Nie Qingwan accompanied Emperor Yin Zu day and night after entering the palace, Nie Yin has dealt with this eunuch in front of the palace, but familiar is familiar, and a good relationship is a good relationship, but where Ren Ji came from, Nie Yin didn't know, and she was not interested in asking.
Nie Yin stared at Ren Ji suspiciously, but Ren Ji waved at her, lifted his breath, and went to the top of the mountain.
Nie Yin didn't go up, she went to the foot of the mountain.
——
When the sky was close to dusk, Yin Xuan came down, he was covered with blood, but he was holding the sword of the Son of Heaven, the weapon of the country, the sword was unopened, the sword body was pitch black, lingering with the vast evil qi, he was seriously injured when he broke through the pass, because in addition to the danger, there was also human danger, especially when he reached out to take the sword of the Son of Heaven, he was almost assassinated.
At that time, no one helped him, so he had an idea, and hit the man towards the Son of Heaven Sword with one palm, and the man was overjoyed, and reached out to take the Sword of the Son of Heaven, but was eaten by the evil energy on the Sword of the Son of Heaven and died on the spot.
Yin Xuan mentioned all the internal forces to take the Son of Heaven Sword, and he was also tumbled by the qi and blood that was devoured by the evil qi, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted on the spot, but he thought of the pair of soft hands he was leaving, the pair of thick eyes with a smile and pinning on him, and the sentence I am waiting for you to come back, he seemed to have endless power, shouted and roared, and poured the internal force of his whole body to suppress the evil qi of the sword body of the Son of Heaven.
Ren Ji later taught Yin Xuan's internal strength and mental method, which was used to suppress the evil qi of the Son of Heaven's sword.
Who is Ren Ji? It was the person who once guarded the sword of the Son of Heaven, the first sword protector brought back by Emperor Yin Zu from Emperor Wendi Mountain, and another person who Emperor Yin Zu saw alone before he died.
Later, Ren Ji regretted it very much.
If he doesn't intervene today, Yin Xuan will definitely not be able to get out of the Emperor Mountain, he will not be able to take out the sword of the Son of Heaven, he will not be crowned the crown prince, he will not be called the emperor, and if he is not the emperor, there will be no vain death of the queen mother.
However, the Mandate of Heaven is really the Mandate of Heaven or the Tribulation.
If this prince is not Yin Xuan, will the queen mother's road to hegemony be so smooth? Probably not. The Queen Mother achieved Yin Xuan, and Yin Xuan didn't achieve the Queen Mother.
The merits and demerits between the two of them can only be sorted out by the two of them.
Maybe even the two of them can't figure it out.
And the connection between the two of them can't be intervened by others.
Yin Xuan exhausted all his strength, and it was the limit to hold on to the descent, and as soon as his feet landed, the whole person fell to the ground with a bang like a behemoth tree, and then fell unconscious.
I woke up again on the bed, the white gauze tent, a rough screen, blocking the shadowy figures outside, obviously I shouldn't be able to see clearly, but Yin Xuan just knew who the woman sitting at the round table was.
He thought to himself, he saw the Queen Mother, so, did he go back to the palace?
You can look at the beds around you, look at the furnishings around the bed, and it doesn't look like it.
Yin Xuan wanted to sit up with his arms propped up, but he didn't expect that his arms had no strength, and as soon as his upper body was halfway up, he slammed his whole body back into the bed again, making a very dull sound.
The people outside the screen heard it and immediately got up and walked over.
Yin Xuan was not mistaken, the person sitting at the round table just now was indeed Nie Qingwan, she was reading the painting and confessing, Ren Ji went to pick herbs, Nie Yin waited next to Nie Qingwan, whispering to her, hearing a voice in the bed, and the two of them walked in at the same time.
Nie Qingwan saw that Yin Xuan woke up, and the heart that had been holding on tightly finally let go, and the worry and anger in her beautiful brows slowly dissipated, she brushed her skirt and sat on the edge of the bed, glanced at Yin Xuan, and asked Nie Yin to pour water.
The water was poured, Nie Qingwan asked Nie Yin to help Yin Xuan up, and she personally fed Yin Xuan water to drink.
Yin Xuan was simply flattered, and hurriedly said, "I'll drink it myself." ”
He didn't speak, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was so broken and hoarse, like a whimpering wind in the mountains, Yin Xuan was stunned, and Nie Qingwan said, "You have been asleep for three days." ”
Yin Xuan became more and more stunned: "Huh? Three days? ”
Nie Qingwan said, "Hmm. ”
She moved to the head of the bed again, scooped the water with a soup spoon, and sent it to Yin Xuan's mouth, and said as she sent it: "Drink a bowl of water first, and let Nie Yin go to the kitchen to boil some porridge in a while, you are seriously injured, and your strength has not recovered, don't be reckless." ”
Yin Xuan looked at her, and when the soup spoon reached his lips, he still opened his mouth to drink.
After drinking a bowl of water, his throat was a little more comfortable, Nie Yin took the bowl and went down to boil porridge.
Yin Xuan asked Nie Qingwan, "Why are you here?" Where is this? ”
Nie Qingwan said: "The town where you ate last time, this is a small courtyard, temporarily bought for you to recuperate, and it is very safe to guard Fengchang outside." ”
Yin Xuan sighed, didn't understand what the last three words 'very safe' meant, isn't this town safe? But suddenly thinking of the people he met when he was taking the sword of the Son of Heaven who wanted to kill him, his pale face was calm again, and he was about to speak to remind Nie Qingwan, but Nie Qingwan seemed to guess from the change in his complexion, and said out loud first: "Don't worry, those people have all been dealt with, the Sword of the Son of Heaven is still there, and you have done a good job." ”
Yin Xuan finally felt at ease when he heard her say this.
With her, no demons and monsters can run rampant.
With Feng Chang here, her safety is also guaranteed.
Yin Xuan leaned there and asked Nie Qingwan when his body would be able to recover, and Nie Qingwan said, "I brought Nie Zong here, and with him to see you day and night, you should be able to move freely in less than half a month." ”
Yin Xuan sighed, looked at her for a while, and after Nie Yin brought the porridge, it was Nie Qingwan who fed him personally, although Yin Xuan wanted to refuse, but he also knew that it was useless to refuse, and besides, he was so eager for her to feed him like this.
I can't say what the mood was at that moment, ten-year-old Yin Xuan still couldn't understand that it was love, the love that began to sprout quietly in his heart, maybe it was at this moment, she took good care of him, maybe earlier, he couldn't trace it, even later, he was in pain, and he couldn't remember when he started to have such abnormal feelings for her.
I don't know what to do, and I don't know what to do.
By the time he realized it, he couldn't pull it out.
With Nie Zong personally coming to see the doctor, Ren Ji personally going up the mountain every day to pick fresh herbs, the famous medicine brought by Nie Zong, and Nie Qingwan's careful care, Yin Xuan will be able to move normally and use martial arts normally after half a month.
Even though the sword of the Son of Heaven is extremely evil, the royal qi is also extremely heavy, but after recovering his body, Yin Xuan went to take this sword again, and he could easily hold it.
Perhaps it was because his blood was almost soaked with the sword that day, so the sword recognized him.
Perhaps it was because he successfully brought the Son of Heaven Sword down the mountain that he made the Son of Heaven Sword surrender.
And no matter what the case is, now, the Sword of the Son of Heaven belongs to him.
And with Yin Xuan, who has the Sword of the Son of Heaven, his skill has increased by at least ten times.
Yin Xuan took care of his body, Nie Qingwan didn't delay here, and asked Ren Ji and Feng Chang to pack up the carriage the next day, and they rushed back to Huaicheng, the imperial capital.
Riding back to Huaicheng, the imperial capital, half a day is enough, but if you catch the carriage, it will take at least one day, in order to arrive at night, the next day before dawn and the group set off.
Nie Qingwan sat cross-legged on the couch and showed Yin Xuan the information from the investigation and the blood calligraphy and painting book in her hand.
Yin Xuan was also sitting cross-legged on the couch, next to him was the sword of the Son of Heaven that was as black as Xuantie, and there was a very strong royal aura around him.
When he first woke up, Yin Xuan didn't know what Nie Qingwan was looking at every day, but later he knew, and when he could get out of bed, he also saw those people who appeared in Wendi Mountain to break through with him but wanted to take his life, not many, five, including the person who finally fought for the sword of the Son of Heaven and died on the spot.
Yin Xuan didn't know those people, but the Queen Mother seemed to know.
In fact, how could Nie Qingwan know those people, I don't know, Nie Qingwan is indeed very powerful, she deliberately released the news, so that all the small countries knew that Yin Xuan was going to take the Son of Heaven Sword, Yin Xuan was only ten years old, at this time to take the Son of Heaven Sword, the chance of survival was very small, basically there was no survival rate, so Nie Qingwan concluded that if there were dissidents, they would definitely come out at this time to make trouble, but even though she could guess this, she couldn't guess who people would send, Nie Qingwan can analyze and judge the kings and people of each country through books, but she can't recognize everyone.
However, not knowing does not mean that you cannot find out.
The investigation materials that Nie Qingwan handed to Yin Xuan just now are all the lives of these five people, and the blood calligraphy and painting book are the evidence that Nie Qingwan used to attack the small countries.
Attacking the future Son of Heaven of the Great Yin Empire and snatching the Sword of the Son of Heaven, the weapon of the Great Yin Empire, once this crime is made public, the people of the Great Yin Empire will inevitably be angry, and the ministers will inevitably be angry.
What Nie Qingwan wants is to be so famous.
