Chapter Eighty-Eight: Rumors
On the outskirts of the capital.
Qingling Lake.
For a long time, the mist was covered and did not disperse for a long time, just when everyone thought that there would be a burst of miserable shouts in the lake, the surface of Qingling Lake was surprisingly quiet, as if it was all silent, and the crowd of people fleeing in panic gradually stopped and stared straight at Qingling Lake.
The crowd on the shore of the lake was in an uproar.
"Why hasn't the lake moved for so long?"
"This lake is so good, why is it foggy all of a sudden."
"yes, that's outrageous."
"Could it be that there is really a water trap at work?"
"No, why haven't these people moved?"
The chattering around Qingling Lake also came and went.
How did they know that Qingling Lake under the mist had already been given aura.
The water of the lake under the fusion of spiritual energy is soft, and those palace people seem to walk through the top of the clouds, walking slowly, or swimming around in the misty clouds.
In the void, when the clouds and mist disappeared, the feet of those palace people fell from the top of the clouds like a void.
Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew by, and the mist covered by the water of Qingling Lake gradually dissipated, and the situation on the lake surface was unobstructed.
Everyone gasped, originally thinking that this Qingling Lake must be full of corpses, but what made people feel amazing was that at this time, those palace people were floating on the surface of the lake.
The phoenix secretly exerted aura, undulating layer after layer of waves, and also pushed those palace people to the edge of Qingling Lake, and those palace people just came to their senses, and everyone looked stunned.
In less than a moment, the two hundred palace people stood on the shore of Huqingling Lake, all of them had palpitations in their hearts, and they were also boiling, and they felt unbelievable in the depths of their hearts.
"Your Majesty, the spell has been cast, you have seen it, this Qingling Lake does not accept these two hundred people, if you go to Qingling Lake to sacrifice again, I am afraid that it will backfire, please think twice." Gao Yuncheng saw that those palace people had been escorted ashore, and said.
The emperor looked at this strange scene motionless, like a clay sculpture of wood, which was unbelievable and really strange.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." It was only after a reminder from the guards that the emperor reacted.
What's going on? Could it really be that Qingling Lake is really a rumor, as these people said? But this situation had to make him cautious.
The emperor thought twice and ordered a guard to deliver the message.
The guard took the order and walked quickly to Gao Yuncheng's side, and everyone watched the two of them muttering for a while, not knowing what to do.
Just when everyone felt inexplicable, a shout echoed in everyone's ears.
"Everyone listen, these people have come ashore, this Qingling Lake sacrifice has been circulated for a hundred years, and now it has been proved that this matter is just a rumor, from today on, don't spread more rumors about the Qingling Lake sacrifice, so as not to cause panic and sensationalism again."
As soon as the words fell, everyone also smiled, feeling that what they said was reasonable, and they were relieved, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but it was like this, so many of these palace people actually went ashore under the escort of Qingling Lake, how could it be fake?
Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
At this point, the Qingling Lake incident came to an end, and those onlookers secretly felt new about this matter, or excited about the lack of sacrifice, or sighed.
Those palace people are still in the chaos but they are also quite apprehensive, now it's okay, there is no need to sacrifice Qingling Lake.
"How many of you have made a contribution to solving the Qingling Lake matter, I don't know what reward you want?" The emperor said curiously.
Gao Yuncheng also glanced at each other with tacit understanding.
"Qi Sheng, a few of us don't need any rewards, but Lin Xi and the others have a meritorious role in finding people, if it weren't for him, a few of us don't know about the emperor's list, and the right people found that two of these palace people are our confidants and friends, and ask the emperor to let the two of them reunite with us outside the palace, and after that, let the two of them enter the palace, and ask the saint for permission." Gao Yuncheng said.
Lin Xi, who was on the side, was still very apprehensive, thinking that after the incident of Qingling Lake, he could finally avoid a few of them, but he didn't want this person to be able to take care of himself, thinking of what happened last night, he was really embarrassed.
The emperor thought that these individuals wanted some great reward, but it turned out to be so simple, if this was the case, then it would be fine.
"I'm sure, I don't know which two of these palace people are it?" The Emperor asked.
"Su Xi, Yan Chan'er." Gao Yuncheng said respectfully.
The emperor gave Xu Jun a look and motioned for him to step forward and invite the two men out.
Xu Jun walked to the queue and asked the palace man in charge: "Go, bring Su Xi and Yan Chan'er." ”
The palace man in charge brought Su Xi and Yan Chan'er to Gao Yuncheng and a few people.
Suddenly, those palace people were full of suspicions, and they also felt inexplicable in their hearts, and they turned their suspicious eyes to Su Xi and Yan Chan'er.
Lin Xi stepped forward to listen to the order. The Emperor commanded.
"Lin Xi is here." Lin Xi stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Lin Xi has made a meritorious contribution to finding people, and from today onwards, he is hereby named a general to protect the safety of the palace..."
"Thank you for the emperor's grace." Lin Xi was already excited.
"Back to the palace..."
At the emperor's signal, the father-in-law who announced the decree shouted, "Drive back to the palace." ”
The people of Li who knelt on the ground shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Everyone also bowed respectfully, not daring to make a desecration of the emperor, seeing the emperor sitting on the dragon chariot, the mighty guard of honor returned the same way, and gradually moved away in the streets of the capital.
At this point, the people of Li who were watching from Qingling Lake stood up one after another and walked towards the city gate.
The guards on the outskirts received the order, and the gates were wide open, and the people of dawn could enter and exit as usual.
"Su Xi knows that it was a few of you who saved Su Xi last night, your great kindness, Su Xi remembered it in his heart, it was unforgettable, and he invited a few of you to bow to Su Xi."
In the face of Su Xi's sudden bow, several people from Gao Yuncheng also stepped forward to support him, saying, "Don't be like this." ”
"You don't have to, if you insist on doing this, it will make us a little embarrassed." Phoenix said.
"yes, it really doesn't have to be that way." Long Yan said.
Yan Chan'er thought that Su Xi was thanking them for Qingling Lake, but she didn't care, but if she took a closer look, weren't these people the same people who helped her yesterday?
"Last night, a few of you helped me out of the siege outside the Yan Family Tavern? Yan Chan'er didn't dare to thank you because those officers and soldiers didn't dare to thank you, and today she saved Yan Chan'er and Su Xi in Qingling Lake, please accept Yan Chan'er's worship. As he spoke, he knelt down.
But he was stopped by the phoenix stepping forward, "There is no need to do this, you and Su Xi, you don't have to worship back and forth, while you have time outside the palace, it is better to say something, it is the most important thing." Got it? ”
Hearing this, Yan Chan'er was also embarrassed by these words.
After a conversation, Su Xi knew that these five people, named Gao Yuncheng, Long Yan, Phoenix, Qilin, and Chang Shou, felt novelty in the bottom of his heart, especially Gao Yuncheng's name, when he said it, Su Xi was stunned and stunned, although he was in the palace for a short time, but the name of His Royal Highness the Prince had been heard, this, this, this person was actually famous with His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Su Xi, who did you say chose you to come to this Qingling Lake? You say, I promise I won't spare him. "The phoenix is still haunting.
"I wonder why you say that? It was Su Xi who came to worship for the eldest father-in-law in the palace, and no one forced him, so please don't worry about this matter. Although Su Xi didn't know why this phoenix wanted to say this, he didn't want to cause more trouble about it.
"Since you don't want to say more, then I won't ask more." Phoenix said.
Gao Yuncheng felt curious deep in his heart, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that she really doesn't care about this?" ”
But Long Yan, Qilin, and Chang Shou all know the temperament of the phoenix, how can she just stop there, if nothing happens?
As they thought, under the stimulation of the phoenix, the picture in the palace was already presented in Su Xi's mind, the phoenix exerted aura, how the father-in-law who announced the decree made things difficult for Su Xi in the prison courtyard, how to mock Su Xi and Yan Chan'er in front of the palace, and saw the scenes in the palace clearly and thoroughly.
Phoenix secretly slandered Su Xi like this, and would never make this person feel better.
Long Yan, Qilin, and Changshou also have a bad sense in the dark, and the fate of that person can be imagined.
"You'd better be a little measured, even if you're angry for Su Xi, don't forget, the phoenix of the gods, the ancient spirit beast, why bother with a mortal." Long Yan also admonished from outside the world.
"Yes, how can that person survive as soon as you make a move?" The unicorn is transmitted from the sky.
"You're whimsical again, why did I ever say I wanted his life? I have my own measure, but Phoenix I must help Su Xi out of this evil breath, so that from now on, that person will be respectful to Su Xi, and I don't dare to provoke Su Xi for half a point, smooth sailing in the palace, and sit back and relax. "The phoenix is out of the sky.
With the sound from the sky, the phoenix became more and more intense, and the previous dark face gradually smiled, which made Long Yan, Qilin, and Chang Shou shudder.
"It's no wonder that he provoked Su Xi, he brought it on himself." Phoenix smiled slyly.
Streets of the capital.
"Lao Dao looks at you radiantly, quite auspicious, you must have been born in a rich family, but after these three years, I am only afraid that I will worry about my life, please write a word, let Lao Dao analyze it for you." A fortune teller said to the boy in a deep voice.
When the young man in front of him heard this, did he pay it back? Thinking that the Wang family is the largest family in Changgu, the young man is naturally delicate, which person in Changgu is not flattering, and he is so angry.
Originally, he wanted to find his father in this capital through fortune telling, but he counted himself in, and this liar said that he was worried about his life, isn't this a curse on him?
The more the young man thought about it, the more angry he became, his hands clenched, and he squeaked, thinking that his father was not there, but he didn't want to offend the people in the capital, but he didn't want this fortune teller to talk again.
"Listen to the old saying, this marriage has its own fixed number, and everything cannot be forced." These words completely angered the young man.
