At this moment, the entire imperial palace, as well as the entire Tiansheng Dynasty, was immersed in grief.

This country is called Tiansheng, but it is not prosperous at all. The first emperor died at an early age, and among the princes, there was only one son left of the current emperor. Unexpectedly, he died young, but he didn't come out of his knees. There is not even a successor.

In the big picture, the regent is the best heir. However, this is not the case, and even if he wanted to ascend the throne, no one would submit to him without the right reasons.

What's more, the court was originally divided into two factions, one faction supported the regent, and the other faction supported King Xiao. At this time, although the two factions did not dare to fight too hard, they had secretly begun to compete. can only wait for the emperor to be buried, and the question of the heir begins to be put on the surface, I am afraid that a catastrophe is inevitable.

After dealing with the affairs in the palace, Xiao Junluo returned to the palace physically and mentally exhausted. The emperor's death must not be so simple, it must be that the regent found out that the emperor wanted to seize power, so he killed the killer. It's just that the emperor's affairs haven't been taken care of yet, and it's inconvenient for him to investigate it publicly now.

I didn't expect him to work hard for so many years, and he wanted to protect the emperor and sit firmly in the country, but now he ended up like this. He had long expected the old horseman's ambitions, but he didn't expect him to start so quickly.

When I returned to the palace and thought of that lovely man, my mood seemed to be much better. I wonder if she's back? She should have heard about his return to Beijing, right? Maybe he's waiting for him in the Wind Lotus Temple?

I couldn't wait to return to the Wind Lotus Courtyard and saw Xiaolan and them in the courtyard, not noticing their expressions. I just thought that if they were all back, the girl must have come back too.

"Lord Wang......" Seeing the prince hurriedly walking towards the room, Qingmei couldn't help but stop him.

"What?" Impatiently turned back.

Xiaolan couldn't hold her breath the most, and stepped forward and asked, "Lord Wang, where is our master?" Why didn't I come back with you? ”

After knowing that the master went to find the prince, they moved back to the palace, hoping that the two would come back safely day and night. But now I only see the prince alone, so I am naturally curious.

Hearing this, Xiao Junluo's mind exploded like thunder, and his cold face suddenly darkened, "What did you say?" Where did Xuan'er go? Hasn't she been in the capital all along? ”

The three of them were surprised, and they looked at each other with worried expressions.

It was Qingmei who spoke first, "The master heard that you had an accident in Shandong, and despite the obstruction of us and Yun Gongzi, I went to look for you, didn't you meet it?" ”

"How long has this been?"

"Five days ago."

Five days ago, in just five days, so much happened.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I turned around and strode away.

"Lord, where are you going?" When Uncle Zhong came over, he happened to meet the prince going out, and hurriedly asked.

"Go find Xuan'er." He had to get her back, and there was nothing more important in this world than her.

"Lord Wang, the prime minister and Zhengde are here, waiting for you in the hall?"

"Tell them that this king is not available now." Drop a word and move on, no one can stop him.

At this time, the prime minister and Zhengdehou had already come out, and they also heard what he said, but they said seriously: "Lord, everything has priorities, you can't leave now." The overall situation of the court is undecided, you are the only one who can compete with the regent, if even you are gone, the Tiansheng Dynasty will be in danger. ”

Zhengdehou was also full of anxiety

"Yes, Lord Wang, now is a critical moment, you really can't leave. Before his death, the emperor only left one sentence, that is, to recruit you back quickly. Now are you going to give this great river and mountain to others? How can you let the emperor feel at ease? Speaking of this, Zhengdehou couldn't help but burst into tears.

The fist hidden under the sleeve tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened. On the one hand, there is the country, and on the other hand, it is the weight of his life. Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to fulfill, and he has lost her in the past ten years. He said that he would no longer bear her, how could he ignore her and danger again and again.

Thinking of this, he made a decision, and said coldly, "What does Jiangshan Sheji have to do with me, it was originally from the Baili family." I, Xiao Junluo, are just to protect the emperor, and now that the emperor is dead, my responsibility should be relieved. From now on, I will live my life only for myself. "With his woman, live an ordinary life together.

The two old ministers didn't expect that they would hear him say these words, that important person in the court was willing to give up everything for a woman, how could they not be heartbroken?

"Lord Wang, do you know that there are no eggs under the nest? If you just go, will you really be able to leave? Seeing the people of the world living in dire straits, can you really not care? ”

"Think twice? The regent is ambitious, and he has long looked at us unpleasantly. If he is really allowed to ascend the throne, the first thing to be eliminated is our old ministers who have opposed him. It's not that we're afraid of death, it's just that our old ministers are dead, and only their party is left, and you know who those people are. Most of them are officials who are bought with money, and they only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, and fish and meat the people. If they are given power, will the people of Tiansheng still have a way to live? ”

Prime Minister and Zhengde Hou are all heartfelt words, which can be said to know with reason, move with emotion, and analyze the pros and cons clearly, I only hope that he can focus on the overall situation and not do impulsive things.

Xiao Junluo didn't understand these truths, and he was also doing a tug-of-war in his heart. It's just that that person is indispensable for him to let go.

So even if he is selfish, he has been living for the emperor and the world all these years, and he will only live for her in the future.

"I'm sorry, two adults, I'll come back as soon as I find Xuan'er. If I can't find it, I'll keep looking for it, and the matter between the court and the middle will bother the two adults. After solemnly speaking, the two of them hung their heads and paused, and walked away firmly.

"Are you really leaving? Xiao Junluo, have you forgotten the oath we made in front of the emperor? The oncoming Ye Ziyu blocked his way, and he knew that Xiao Junluo would be like this, so he brought Fu Yunqing over in the hope of persuading him.

"Do you really think that the emperor's death was an accident, are you willing to let the emperor's death be unknown like this?"

Fu Yunqing's gentle face also had a hint of solemnity, and she said, "I know you're worried about Xiaoxuan, I've already informed Xuyang to chase her." Now that he hasn't returned, the two should be together. Or did you miss it, and if you went out to find her again, wouldn't you miss it again? It's better to wait for her here first, she knows that you will be back as soon as you come back. ”

Fu Yunqing's words made Xiao Junluo feel a little more at ease, he could send someone to find it first. Hopefully nothing will come out of her, and if she's okay, he'll be at ease for a while. Because of the emperor's funeral, I'm afraid I don't have time to care about her now.

Everyone was relieved to see that he was willing to stay. Only Fu Yunqing, his brows were always twisted

Together. Xiao Xuan left like this, he really didn't feel at ease. Anyway, there's nothing to do with him here, so it's better for him to go out and look for it, maybe he can run into it.

The emperor died, and the whole country mourned. However, at this moment, under the blue sky and white clouds, the two of them are leisurely stepping on the green mountains and green waters.

Since she had nowhere to go, she chose to go back to his hometown with Xuyang. After all, she also agreed in person and faced it with him. Just in time for this time, she can also be completely quiet and forget some things that should be forgotten.

They have been on the road for the past few days, deliberately avoiding pedestrians, just not wanting to inquire about him. She was afraid that hearing the news of King Xiao's wedding, and her heart would be even more uncomfortable.

The closer you get to the desert, the fewer pedestrians there are, and the lower the climate.

Passing through the vast desert, an oasis gradually appeared in front of me. It was a difficult but enjoyable trip, as I was too busy to think about the unpleasant things.

"Xiaoxuan, go ahead again, it's the Una clan, it's my home."

Because he is about to arrive home, Xuyang's face has a complicated look, or is this homesickness?

"Really? Can you finally get some rest? Sunrise, do you have mare's milk wine here? I'm going to drink three big bowls. Seeing that he was so nervous, she deliberately showed ease, so as to help him get rid of the psychological shadow and face everything optimistically.

"Thank you, Xiaoxuan." Tilted his head to give her a sincere smile, if she wasn't by his side, he probably wouldn't really have the courage to come back and face all this.

replied to him with a bright smile, "Don't say these useless, let's be practical, bring me back, you have to treat me well." It also makes me enjoy the feeling of being a guest. ”

"Of course, no problem, not only mare's milk wine, butter tea, but also roast lamb, steamed bear's paws, smoked chicken, and soba noodles, which are delicious."

Okay, okay, don't talk about it, my saliva is coming out. "Listening to him talk so happily, her stomach was really hungry. Along the way, I slept in the wind and ate dry food that was convenient to bring, and I couldn't stand it for a long time.

Haha smiled, at this moment, Xuyang carried the heroism of the Mobei man, "Let's go, we Una people have no other ability, just hospitality, as long as you like it, you can live as long as you want." "If he could, he would like it to be for the rest of his life.

With a flick of the whip, the horse's hooves fluttered and ran forward.

Riding a horse on the grassland is cool, and you don't have to worry about hitting people and kicking over the stall. Even if you can ride casually with your eyes closed, this fresh wind, with the breath of nature, brings refreshment to travelers and takes away the wind and dust, and welcomes them the most distinguished guests in Mobei.

However, when they approached the Una, it was a very unpleasant thing to see. There were thousands of people gathered together, and judging by the costumes, it was two tribes, and I don't know why there was a dispute.

Both teams refused to give in, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

They rolled over and dismounted, and walked into the crowd to see what was going on.

Out of the crowd on the opposite side came a strong man, with well-developed limbs and a burly figure. One of the exposed arms is dark and shiny, and at first glance it looks like an athletic powerhouse.

Xuyang whispered in her ear, "That's the people of the Guli tribe, they have always wanted to annex the Una tribe, and they are always looking for all kinds of excuses to harass them. I don't know why this time? This strong young master of Guli has always been known for his bravery and good fighting. ”

Xia Xiaoxuan nodded, cocking her toes to see the excitement.
