Chapter Eighty-Six: The Fire Phoenix
"Okay, it's all here, you can't help it when you enter this deep palace, everything is based on the overall situation, this is your fate." The father-in-law who announced the decree also glanced at everyone and said with a sneer.
The father-in-law who announced the decree was also upset when he heard the sound of sobbing one after another, and was about to get angry, and when he caught a glimpse of the holy dragon chariot was already on the road leading to the city gate, he was suddenly startled, and his eyebrows jumped suddenly.
"Hurry up, wipe my tears away, what kind of body do you cry and cry into, you look like this, if. Let the Holy One see it, spoil the Holy One's interest, and tell you, I am afraid that you will not live to this moment. The father-in-law who announced the decree was also furious.
On Yonglu Avenue, the emperor's dragon chariot is mighty and luxurious, the body is golden, embedded with gold, silver and jade, jewelry and jade,
The two sides of the body are also decorated with double dragon embellishments, carved with dragon and phoenix totems, which also highlights the royal dignity, luxury and style.
"Holy Lord, do you really want to go to Qingling Lake in person? According to the minions' opinion, in fact, the saint doesn't have to be like this, it's enough to let the slave go this way, and then start the saint after returning to the palace, in case these people are unreliable at that time, the gods of Qingling Lake are angry and insist on these personal sacrifices, and the saint is worried about it, it is not beneficial to your body. Xu Jun said admonishingly.
"Hearing what you say, I still have to see it." The emperor's sharp eyes stared straight at Xu Jun.
Xu Jun saw that the emperor's eyes were wrong, and immediately panicked, and explained: "Please also ask the emperor to forgive the servants for talking too much, since those people in yesterday were also convincing, and the servants want to Qingling Lake The matter is in their hands, now, the saint should relax." β
Hearing this, the emperor's gloomy face improved a little, and said, "I hope so, but I still feel at ease by seeing it with my own eyes." β
"Heng'er... How is His Royal Highness the Third Prince? The Emperor asked earnestly.
"Qi Qi Sheng, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has set off from the dormitory not long ago, but..."Xu Jun said hesitantly.
"Just what? Let's be honest, don't swallow it. The emperor scolded.
"It's just that His Royal Highness the Third Prince heard about Qingling Lake, and when he left the palace, he also witnessed those sacrificial palace people, so he asked the servants and said... Is the saint really ruthless enough to let 200 people in the palace sacrifice? Xu Jun stared cautiously at the emperor's face, also trembling and frightened.
"Damn." The emperor pretended to be indignant.
"Qi Qi Sheng, according to the slaves, His Royal Highness the Three Princes is still concerned about the Holy One, and the servants listened to the meaning of the Three Princes because they were afraid that the Emperor would be criticized in this deep palace, and the servants had the courage to tell the three princes what the people said yesterday, so His Royal Highness the Three Princes went out of the imperial city with peace of mind." Xu Jun explained.
After hearing this, the emperor understood that Heng'er was kind from the bottom of his heart, and it was reasonable for him to care about these people. "Anyway, Heng'er has been exiled, and from today on, there will be no Royal Highness of the Third Prince in this royal family." At this point, the emperor fell into deep thought.
Xu Jun watched the emperor worry about the affairs of the three princes, but he couldn't share his worries, in the final analysis, it was the father and son who were connected, and they had no choice but to be born in the heavenly family.
'Qiankun' Inn.
The guests on the second floor of the 'Qiankun' inn have poked their heads out of the carved window to check, and Gao Yuncheng realized that the original inn should be a prosperous and noisy place, but at this time, it was as silent as a cicada, and it was a little surprisingly quiet.
Gao Yuncheng at the corner and his entourage looked at the downstairs guests were also panicked, only to find that things were not so simple, everyone got up, through the carved window on the second floor of the 'Qiankun' inn, a huge guard of honor walked on the streets of the capital, the current emperor sat on the dragon chariot, hugged in front of the back, cars and passengers, and the endless flow of pedestrians on both sides of the street have made way of the way.
"It's a big battle." The guests also sighed.
"This ceremonial guard is so big, what's the matter?" A young man said something for some reason.
When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at him, as if they were looking at a monster, but they could understand it when they were looking at his outfit, and looked up and down, this person was from another place.
"As soon as I heard this, I knew that you were from a foreign country, right? This is going to Qingling Lake. The man also lamented.
"After all, I still can't escape."
"Yes, who can know, three hundred years later, this Qingling Lake will still not be able to escape the fate of the sacrifice."
For a while, pieces of soft light reflected on the eaves of the 'Qiankun' inn through the blue sky, but it could not dissipate the solemn atmosphere that permeated the inn.
The young man looked out the window, noticed the strange atmosphere in the inn, and then looked at the strange appearance of the crowd and was silent, although he was puzzled by this, he did not say a word.
Seeing the young man's confused expression, the man told the story of Qingling Lake: "The rumor of Qingling Lake has been circulating in the capital for three hundred years, it is reported that it ...... Qingling Lake..."
"Therefore, the people of the whole capital are panicked by this Qingling Lake, and the people in the whole capital are still immersed in terror, thinking that they can't escape this sacrifice, and they can't imagine that the emperor chose from the palace in order to appease the people, and now I think about it, I really have palpitations, but at this time, it is not a taste to see these palace people who are about to go to the bottom of Qingling Lake."
Hearing the sound, the people in the inn were also silent, listening to the frightened, and then looking out of the window and still mourning in their hearts, these people are going to Qingling Lake to sacrifice, so good, two hundred people died like this.
At this point, the young man came to his senses, and in the next moment, he was lucky, he said: This is really an ancient anecdote, and there has never been such a bizarre thing in the secular land of Changgu.
The young man caught a glimpse of the group of officers and soldiers in the corner, but they were sitting in front of the table with a look of disinterest, leisurely holding a teacup and sipping tea. The young man secretly thought: No wonder my father often taught that those who are officials should not be offended, if the official is honest and honest, it is fine, but if it is a treacherous and sinister person, I am afraid that I don't know how to die.
Seeing that one of the officers and soldiers looked back at him, he was also frightened and hurriedly lowered his head, his heart was pounding, and now he has not found his father, he has not joined his father, he came this time, his father does not know, if he offends these officers and soldiers, I am afraid that no one will save him.
At this time, he was really sitting on pins and needles, so he had to hurriedly settle the bill and go downstairs and walk out of the 'Qiankun' inn.
"Big brother, the team is already ahead, do you want to say a word to them, it's time to go." The officers and soldiers stared closely at Gao Yuncheng and his party in front of the carved window.
"You go up and say, go quickly." Lin Xi scolded.
"Big... Brother, little brother is afraid. I'm afraidβ" The officer and soldier also stammered in shock.
"What are you afraid of, I'm afraid that they won't be able to eat you, maybe you didn't look carefully last night, don't scare yourself with some unwarranted things." Lin Xi pretended to be angry and said in a low voice, even if he was frightened deep in his heart.
Before the soldier could get up, Gao Yuncheng and his party had slowly walked towards them, and this time, they were scared and stunned.
This time it was Gao Yuncheng's turn and his party was inexplicable.
"Lin Xi, Lin Xi." The phoenix hand waved in front of Lin Xi's eyes, but there was no movement.
"It's... What do you do? Gao Yuncheng asked.
"How can we, what are we doing at this time, we still need these individuals for this Qingling Lake matter. The matter of Qingling Lake cannot be delayed. Besides, without Brother Yuncheng's signal, how dare we act without permission? Phoenix explained.
"Is this a compliment? All the good things I did were instructed by me? Gao Yuncheng also shook his head, none of these actions had asked him for his opinion.
"Yuncheng, can you say that what we do is not what you think? Who we are, we still have a sense of proportion. You can rest assured. Long Yan said.
"Hey, hey, you didn't respond for a long time, what are you doing? If you delay the matter of Qingling Lake, will you officers and soldiers bear the consequences? The current emperor is already ahead, how dare you let the current emperor wait for a few of your soldiers? The phoenix roared.
The pleasant sound echoed in the 'Qiankun' inn, and everyone also turned their heads to stare back, these officers and soldiers were originally going to Qingling Lake, and suddenly, everyone was silent, hearing the three words of Qingling Lake, fear spread from the depths of their hearts, and they all avoided and returned to the wings.
Seeing that everyone was frightened by the roar of the phoenix, they hurriedly avoided it, and Long Yan, Qilin, and Changshou couldn't help laughing.
"Phoenix, look at you, although you look like a fairy in the eyes of these laymen, but when you hear your roar, you are still scared and fleeing in all directions, you have to change your temper, otherwise, the whole capital will be scared by you and dare not go to the street." Long Yan said teasingly.
"Isn't it? It's time to curb this violence. Chang Shou is also echoed.
"I guess this... If you change it, it will... It would be better. Qilin said helplessly, seeing this dragon Yan, Chang Shou, and the phoenix staring at him, but he had to say.
"Okay, you, you can't fight me, just talk about the temperament of this phoenix? I'll just tell you that this phoenix was born to be a fire phoenix. Fire is violent, if you don't accept it, dare to compare a few tricks with me, from today on, I will obey you, and it doesn't hurt to change this phoenix. If you don't dare, from today onwards, don't talk about the temperament of this phoenix, otherwise, hmph, let you recuperate for ten days and a half months, which can be regarded as a good thing for this phoenix to let you cultivate your self-cultivation. The phoenix is also joking, laughing, and scolding in a tone, for a while, people can't figure it out.
Hearing the sound, the three of them were also flustered, this phoenix was angry, but if it was like this, the three of them would be in a big disaster.
"Don't be angry, I, I don't dare" Long Yan stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of the phoenix, pretending to be hurried.
"From today onwards, Changshou will no longer be against you."
"I don't dare." Qilin knew that the phoenix was still angry, so he said: "I instigated this by the two of them, if you want to blame, you can blame the two of them." β
Hearing the sound, Long Yan and Chang Shou threw a pretended disgusted gaze at the Qilin.
At this time, the phoenix also said quite proudly: "Since you have all admitted your mistakes, this phoenix will spare you." β
"Alright, don't make a fuss." Gao Yuncheng also secretly supported his forehead and said helplessly.
At this point, Gao Yuncheng and his party also followed the emperor's mighty guard of honor.
