Chapter Ninety-Six: Twelve Years of Waiting
When he took it down, he was stunned to find that there were two water marks in his palm, and the living dead kept rolling his eyes upwards and closed them.
"Father......" The crystal liquid could not stop rolling down her eyes, and she reached out and hugged the person who was as cold as an ice sculpture.
There is a water source in the underground palace, as well as all the necessary daily necessities.
Jun Xi didn't have time to think about whether this was originally there, or whether Jun Chen prepared it later.
After taking a basin of water into the ice cave, Jun Xi dipped a handkerchief in water to wipe the faces and hands of the living dead.
The warm fingertips touched the cold and hard skin, and Jun Xi knew that it was a state that only happened when people died for a long time.
But she just thinks that her father must still be alive!
She didn't want to believe that the living dead would roar and kill wolves, but she was just controlled by the so-called Gu.
Wiping the blood from her gray face, Junxi finally knew why the old man in the house always said that she looked like her father.
Twelve years have passed, and his face has stayed at the time when he was at his prime.
The sword eyebrows that flew obliquely into the sideburns, the shape of the eyes was extremely good-looking, if there was a pair of eyes with the look of the year, I don't know how many women's hearts would be drunk.
The bridge of the nose is straight, the thin lips are tight, and the facial features are sharpened.
In all fairness, King Zhenbei's facial features are a little feminine, different from Junchen's handsomeness, it is a kind of beauty, a kind of beauty that amazes time.
wiped his face, Jun Xi wiped the hands of the living dead again, the complexion of those hands was also gray, but the black nails were about an inch long, and it was a little scary to look at.
Jun Xi remembered how those hands tore the wolf corpse in one fell swoop, but she was not afraid at all.
The temperature in the ice cave was extremely low, and a basin of water quickly froze, and Jun Xi changed the water several times, and finally wiped the face of the living dead clean.
She also found a comb and a stool from the dungeon, and put her foot on the stool to tie the hair of the living dead.
Jun Xi's hair was average, but after cleaning up the living dead, she looked at the handsome man like a god, and couldn't help but have a sour nose.
This is her father!
Jun Xi gently held the hand with long sharp nails, and the warm tears fell on the back of the cold and hard hand one by one: "Father, he is very good to me, but the north is going to war again, and he was ordered to go on the expedition......"
"Aunt Mo has already taken Chiyun to Beijing, with them here, Junchen is not in the capital, I am not afraid......"
She cried bitterly, and suddenly noticed the palm of her hand moving.
"Xiβ" The low, mechanical voice came from overhead.
Jun Xi raised his head in a daze, and found that the living dead who had just closed his eyes had opened his eyes again, tilted his head slightly, and rolled his eyes to "look" at her.
"Father...... Father ...... "Jun Xi couldn't believe that the voice that had just called him turned out to be his father, and his eyes widened.
"Xi-" is still just this short word, low and mechanical.
But Jun Xi saw that the lips of the living dead trembled, and this was the voice of the living dead.
The tears fell even more fiercely, and Jun Xi didn't know how to describe his joy at that moment, so he could only grab the hand of the living dead and call his father over and over again.
"I knew you were alive! I knew you were alive! She didn't know whether to cry or laugh, tears rained down.
The living dead opened his mouth, and it took a long time to try to utter a mechanical syllable: "Go-"
The ice cave opened, and something sensed his presence, and the power unnerved him.
Jun Xi obviously didn't know the strange appearance of the living dead, she remembered what Jun Chen had said, the ice cave was open for too long and it was not good for her father, so she had to turn around and leave the ice cave three times in one step, and when the stone door slammed shut, Jun Xi's hands holding the basin held the basin and held the rim of the basin very tightly.
My father is still alive, and she still has blood relatives in this world!
She will definitely find out what kind of Gu is in her father! The antidote will also be found!
Twelve years ago, the Hu people broke through Tongguan and approached the imperial city, and it was her father who led the troops to defeat the Hu people all the way. There are too many strange things in this, and Jun Xi can't figure it out.
Not to mention all kinds of signs that the Guogong Mansion and her father were on the opposite side at the beginning, just why the Hu people who fought against his father and the king fell for the Gu poison of southern Xinjiang made Jun Xi have to think deeply.
Guogongfu first accepted Hu Ji as her aunt by her fifth uncle, and later provided shelter for Hu people when martial law was imposed in the whole city. Now it is obvious that it also has an inexplicable relationship with the southern Xinjiang side.
Jun Xi's heart is cold, and his back is cold.
Grandpa Guo is really crazy, for the sake of so-called rights, he can do such a thing as collaborating with the enemy and treason!
She couldn't help but worry about Jun Chen, there have always been only two kinds of people in Grandpa Guo's camp, enemies, and his own people.
If Jun Chen does not take refuge in Grandpa Guo, then Grandpa Guo will definitely shoot this young eagle down from the sky when his wings are not yet full!
Clenching her palms, Jun Xi forced herself to calm down, she had to speed up her plan and let Grandpa Guo take his eyes off the grain and grass for the time being.
What kind of temptation can be greater than military power......

Palace.
The golden curtains hung down from the top of the tent, and the embroidery on the curtains resembled undulating waves and pythons intertwined with each other. The fox brocade was hung all the way to the ground.
The golden lacquer beast slowly spit out a faint wisp of green smoke from its mouth, the smoke was swirling, there was no wind, but the golden curtain was gently floating, and in a trance, the green smoke spit out from the beast's mouth was also a giant python, which was entangled with the giant python on the curtain.
Under the cover of the curtains, a lazy figure on the bed can be faintly seen, the ankle-length hair is pulled up and the temples are high, and the horn bun is bent, and the hollow gold wire wraps the red jade around the horn bun, and the top of the hair is a golden tortoiseshell head.
The skin like white jade, the nose and lips, a long red dress with gold and silver silk mixed with colorful butterflies and flowers were loosely worn on the body, the temples were slightly wet, the corners of the eyes were a touch of charming red, and the tip of the nose was still drenched in fine sweat.
On the ground lay an unclothed man, lying on his stomach, the blood spilling from his neck had stained the red carpet dark.
In the enclosed space, there was a strong smell of blood.
The woman on the bed gasped for a long time before she lazily brushed a strand of hair around her ear and said lazily: "Someone." β
The door of the compartment soon opened, and a palace maid knelt at the door, bowed her head and humbly called, "High priest." β
"Drag it out and chop it up and feed the pets in this seat" The woman half-supported her head with one hand, and her voice was indescribably lazy and sweet.
The palace maid responded, dragging up the man who had been dead on the ground for a long time and walked out, as if she had long been accustomed to such a scene.
When she walked to the door, the palace maid turned around and said, "There is news from Shangyang Palace, saying that Your Majesty has woken up and not seen you, and she is so angry that she has already killed several palace people." β
The woman on the bed snorted softly, not knowing whether it was mockery or pride, "This old emperor is really a demon in lust." With such a Great Chu Emperor, it is really surprising that the Chu State can still hold out to this day......"
She tugged up her clothes and seemed to want to sit up, but her body was as soft as a snake and had no bones, "The country you swore to defend at the beginning, I am now going to defeat you!" β
When she said this, hatred flashed on the woman's charming face, but she didn't know who she was talking to.
There was a strange noise in the box next to the incense burner, and the woman was stunned.
She almost stumbled out of bed, threw herself on the low table, and opened the hexagonal prismatic brocade box with trembling hands.
A dry thunderbolt suddenly struck from the sky, and the thunder suddenly exploded in my ears, carrying the power of a wild man that destroyed everything in the world.
The white lightning passed through the Qiongtai Temple, through the thick curtain to obscure it, reflecting in this chaotic room, and also illuminating the lines on the turtle shell.
The woman fell to the ground without strength, the brocade box in her hand fell to the ground, and the turtle shell that was enshrined on weekdays was also scattered.
The woman laughed, crazy, crazy, "The turtle shell I divined twelve years ago only cracked today, but what I was told was such a result......"
"How can I be willing! How can you be willingβ"
ββββββββββ
On the second day, the pot exploded above the court.
On the Lantern Festival, once the county lord was assassinated, the ministers were angry, and the Son of Heaven was furious.
"The lower official is willing to use this black gauze hat on his head to ask His Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and give an explanation to the king of Zhenbei under Jiuquan!" Imperial Physician Song knelt in the center of the Jinluan Palace, bowed heavily, his forehead touched the ground, and he couldn't kneel for a long time.
"I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and express my condolences to Izumishita Zhongliang!" The civil and military officials knelt down and shouted together.
For a while, there were only two people standing on the main hall, Xibohou and Huguogong.
"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to be so rampant, where is my majesty?" The old emperor slapped the dragon case heavily.
If an assassin dares to openly assassinate a county lord on the street, does it also mean that he can enter the palace at any time?
That's why he's angry.
"Lord Protector, what do you think about this matter?" The old emperor looked at the old man with a straight back like a green pine in the court, and a fine light shot out from the bottom of his cloudy eyes.
The protector knelt down in his court clothes and said: "The dog is an orphan girl, she has suffered a tragedy, the old minister is sad, and I implore Your Majesty to let the old minister investigate this matter thoroughly!" β
Xi Bohou, who was dressed in iron armor and full of beard, glanced at the Duke of Protector squint, and also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, after all, the Duke of Protector is the grandfather of the county lord, and the grandfather of the country will thoroughly investigate this matter, for fear that someone will discuss it in vain, the King of Zhenbei and Wechen were also comrades in the past, and Wechen is willing to have full authority to investigate this matter thoroughly!" β
"Your Majesty, the old minister has assisted the emperors of the three dynasties, and the world can be seen from the heart, and the sun and the moon can be expressed! If the old minister has half a partiality, it is all up to His Majesty to decide! "Without waiting for the old emperor to make a decision, the protector said.
Xibohou is an old fox, if he is allowed to investigate this matter thoroughly, he will only get himself into trouble, and Grandpa Guo naturally does not allow such a thing to happen.
The old emperor's eyes turned faintly between the two, "The Protector is the elder of the three dynasties, and he has done his best to me Dachu, and I see it in my eyes, but ......" The calculation in his eyes flashed: "The Protector is very old, and he was very sad when he heard that the county lord was killed, and this matter should be thoroughly investigated by Xibohou!" β
His Royal Highness Jin Luan, for a while, the courtiers all had different expressions. There was even a bit of sighing.
