Chapter 324: The Guilty Witch King!
"Please wait a minute, I'll report it!"
Before knowing the identities of Qin Yue and the others, the guards were still a little polite, turned around and ran all the way to the palace, obviously to clarify the situation.
Qin Yue was dressed in a black robe, standing with his hands in his hands, standing outside the gate of the palace, calm and calm, and did not seem to be in a hurry.
Nie Xiaoqian and Zhao Ling'er stood beside Qin Yue together, Nie Xiaoqian was dressed in a white dress, her temperament was elegant, ethereal like a fairy, and there seemed to be little that could make her mood swings particularly violent.
But Zhao Ling'er, I don't know if it's homesickness, or because she is about to see her own father, her mood swings are particularly strong, as if she is afraid, like resentment, and even more indescribable joy.
Zhao Ling'er's mood at this time was so complicated, only Zhao Ling'er himself could understand it, although Qin Yue saw Zhao Ling'er's emotions and was a little unstable, he didn't know how to comfort him.
After all, comforting people is not Qin Yue's strong point, Qin Yue can only pat it gently, Zhao Ling'er's little head, and whispered that it is okay, which can be regarded as a little comfort!
It was also when Qin Yue and the three of them were waiting quietly outside the gate of the palace.
The guards who were guarding the gate of the palace had rushed all the way into the palace, and the guards on the palace all the way saw the general who was guarding the gate of the palace, appearing here, although he was a little puzzled, but he still greeted him respectfully.
"General Li!"
"General Li!"
..........
"Get out of the way! General Ben has an urgent matter to play the Witch King! β
The man known as General Li had an eager expression on his face, and he was about to break into the palace.
"This ......."
Several guards stopped on General Li's path after all, looking at each other with a little embarrassment on their faces.
General Li's position, although above them, is only responsible for guarding the gates of the palace, and their duty is to guard the palace.
According to the rules, General Li is not allowed to enter the palace, but looking at General Li's eager face, it is obvious that something big has happened, if General Li is not allowed to go to report, once the big thing is delayed, the anger of the Witch King is not something they can bear.
However, in their hearts, they can't help but have a thought.
In case, the matter reported by General Li is not so urgent, will the Witch King deal with them afterwards?
These are the few of them who need to worry about it, guarding the palace, it seems that they are on an errand in the palace, and they are in power, but the doorway is too deep, and the phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger" is not just talking.
"What? You still don't get out of the way for me, and you're delaying a big thing! Are you responsible? β
When General Li saw a few people, they were still blocking in front of him, without the slightest intention of moving his feet, and immediately scolded him.
This reprimand finally sobered up several guards, and in the end, among the guards, the leader finally sighed and greeted a few brothers.
"Make way for General Li!"
The leader was obviously very authoritative among the several people, and as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, several guards also took advantage of the situation to make way for General Li.
General Li saw the guards get out of the way, and he didn't know a few people like him, so he continued to walk towards the inner court of the palace.
Seeing General Li walking away, several guards were a little dissatisfied and complained to the leader.
"Big brother, why did you let us let him go! Something happened, we can't afford this responsibility! β
"That's it, big brother! Although General Li's position is higher than ours, he can't control us at all in this palace, so why should we be afraid of him! β
"Anyway, I'm unhappy to see that surnamed Li, just now he dared to give us such a faceless face, calling him a general, it can be regarded as lifting him, and he even dragged him like something! Why didn't he go to heaven! β
When it came to General Li, several guards were deeply resentful, and obviously had no good impression of General Li.
"Alas........."
The leader sighed deeply, he knew that if he didn't explain it to these brothers, they would never let go of the resentment in their hearts so easily.
He can become a leader among several people, one is not by virtue of prestige, the second is not age, and the third is not force, but his head that turns faster than ordinary people.
"Brothers, have you ever thought that if something big happened and we blocked General Li, who would be punished in the end? Moreover, have you ever thought that if General Li didn't have a big event, he would dare to come in so rampage? Didn't he know what would happen if what he told was not true? β
Talking to these simple-headed guys, he really felt very tired, but these people obeyed him, and his strength was not bad, so he naturally couldn't give up easily.
The guards in the palace are not peaceful, as long as it is the place where people live, it is the rivers and lakes, and it is always inevitable to fight for power and profit, although they do not expect to become a superior person, but in order to protect themselves in the guard and have the capital to be co-opted, it is still very important to gather a group of people around them.
Hearing the eldest brother's analysis, the remaining three people came to their senses in an instant, and on their foreheads, cold sweat was dripping, and they breathed a long sigh of relief.
If it weren't for the eldest brother's quick stopping, if this matter reached the ears of the Witch King, I am afraid that they would not be able to cut off their nine heads.
can't help but be even more convinced by their eldest brother's words, and in the days to come, they will wholeheartedly assist the eldest brother, and relying on their eldest brother's smart brain, the official careers of several people will rise to the top.
In the end, their eldest brother climbed all the way to the position of the commander of the forbidden army in Wangcheng, and they also followed the rising tide and became rich and prosperous for a lifetime.
But that's all for later.
And just when General Li rushed all the way to the inner court of the palace, he was in the highest hall of the Nanzhao Kingdom.
The Witch King was sitting on a throne made of gold, looking at the uncles and aunts below who looked like a vegetable market, chattering and bargaining, and only felt a pain in his head.
He, the witch king, seems to have become a titular puppet to this point.
The Bai Miao people don't listen to him.
The Black Miao tribe from which he was born also had his own ideas.
Also, the Moon Worship Sect Master he raised is even more out of his control, and now his power is so great that even the White Miao Clan and the Black Miao Clan are very jealous, not to mention him, a puppet witch king who has no power now.
"Report ........."
Just when the witch king's head hurt, suddenly from outside the hall, there was an urgent long shout, interrupting the quarrel in the hall, making the whole hall quiet, and it can be regarded as a disguised solution to the trouble of the witch king, although the witch king didn't know who it was, but he wrote it down in his heart, and he was ready to reward it.
Now, let's see if there's something urgent!
"The Witch King! Outside the palace, there is a man and two women, claiming to be the princess of Nanzhaoguo, and the ministers dare not make a judgment, so they have come to report to the witch king! β
General Li stepped into the main hall in a hurry, and did not look at the important ministers around him, but came to the front of the Witch King, knelt on one knee, and reported to the Witch King respectfully.
"Self-proclaimed princess of Nanzhao?"
The Witch King sitting on the throne was stunned at first, and then his heart tightened, and he grabbed the palm of the throne, but because of excessive force, he was faintly pale, and his face was a little ugly.
"Could it be Ling'er? What does she look like now? How could she come back at this time? β
A series of questions appeared in the Witch King's mind, facing the return of his own daughter, the Witch King's heart, but there was no joy at all, not that he didn't want his daughter.
It's just that the form doesn't allow it!
Although the Witch King is not virtuous, he is not a brainless faint king, and the actions of the Lunatic Cult over the years have become bigger and bigger, which aroused the suspicion of the Witch King, and after sending someone to investigate.
The witch king was even more jealous of the moon worship master, he never imagined that in just ten years, the moon worship sect leader would run the moon worship sect so hugely, almost half of the Nanzhao country, and the moon worship had a broken relationship.
Under such a general trend, even the Bai Miao and the Black Miao who have always been at odds have joined forces to fight against the Moon Worship Master, and only he, the naΓ―ve Witch King, still thinks that he has cultivated the Moon Worship Master well, and suppressed the arrogance of the White Miao and the Black Miao Clan.
The country of Nanzhao, under his management, the country and the people are safe, and the country is eternal!
It's a pity that the witch king found out too late, and everything is powerless, and now the witch king has become the nominal witch king, and the decree can't leave the palace.
The entire Nanzhao Kingdom can still fight with the Moon Worship Sect Master, that is, the alliance between the Black Miao and the White Miao Clan.
Now, the form of the entire Nanzhao Kingdom has fallen into a strange balance, and the Witch King is very worried that the return of Ling'er will not break this balance, and even threaten his daughter's life!
Back then, the death of the witch queen Qing'er had made the witch king feel guilty to this day, and he didn't want anything to happen to his only daughter.
If he hadn't been so cowardly and selfish, afraid of gossip, and came out to support the witch queen, maybe not so many things would have happened.
After all, even an outsider dared to stand up and speak for Qing'er, but he, the witch king, didn't do anything for his wife, just watched coldly.
Qing'er will not die, and her daughter will not have to escape, their family can live happily together, and they will not be destitute to become what they are today and become a nominal king.
Therefore, over the years, the Witch King hated his cowardice back then, and also hated his selfishness in order to keep the throne.
It's a pity that all the things in the world can't be repeated after all, what happens happens happens, and it can't be changed!
"The Witch King....... The Witch King..........
General Li knelt in front of the Witch King, and when he saw that the Witch King seemed to be in a trance, he couldn't help but call softly twice, and finally woke up the Witch King who was in deep thought.
"Witch King, I don't know how to solve the three people outside the palace?"
General Li still knelt on the ground, did not get up, and respectfully asked the Witch King for a solution.
The Witch King on the throne, his eyes swept lightly, obviously standing in the main hall, but it seemed that the whole person was transcendent, with a demeanor and demeanor, and the Moon Worship Sect Master, who could not be expressed in words at all, saw that the Moon Worship Sect Master had no emotions at all, and looked like he had nothing to do with himself, the Witch King secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and commanded General Li.
"Regardless of whether it is the princess of my Nanzhao Kingdom or not, please come in first, serve me well, and wait for me to see you later! If it's not the princess of my Nanzhao Kingdom, I'll go into the dungeon and ask for it on a certain day! β
"Yes, Witch King!"
After getting the order of the Witch King, General Li bowed down and retreated, and he was also relieved in his heart, his task had been completed, and it was not his responsibility to leave the rest, he just had to welcome people in and serve them with good food and drink.
As for whether the three of them are dead or alive, it is all the matter of the Witch King, and it has nothing to do with him.
Returning to the gate of the palace, General Li's attitude was a little respectful.
"The Witch King, there is a discussion, he ordered me to bring the three of them into the palace to rest first, and the Witch King will arrive later!"
"Good!"
Qin Yue nodded, and didn't say anything, he also understood that the Witch King would not listen to the one-sided words of himself and others, and he would always have to meet Zhao Ling'er in person to determine Zhao Ling'er's identity.
With Nie Xiaoqian and Zhao Ling'er, Qin Yue followed General Li to a rather elegant palace in the palace.
The palace, mainly black and red, does not look solemn and solemn, majestic atmosphere, but has a bit of elegant and quiet feeling, in the palace, the green trees are shady, the flowers are like brocade, gorgeous and colorful, all kinds of fragrant breath, rushing to the face, even Qin Yue can't help but take a few more looks.
In addition, there are rockeries and strange stones, a small lake carved out by hand, and there is a delicate pavilion in the lake.
A stone bridge made of white jade, leading to the pavilion, there are many cute goldfish swimming in the turquoise lake water, attracting the attention of Nie Xiaoqian and Zhao Ling'er.
"That's your mother, your mother's favorite goldfish in her life, she has been kept in this lake, and no one has ever touched it!"
I don't know when, a tall middle-aged man wearing black and red clothes, wearing a turban, a dignified face, and an extraordinary bearing came to the small lake.
The middle-aged man's gaze, from the beginning of his appearance, stared at Zhao Ling'er, with unprecedented tenderness in his eyes, and guilt that he couldn't let go.
It seems that in an instant, he decided that Zhao Ling'er was his daughter, and he had a blood connection with him, which could not be separated.
Zhao Ling'er and Nie Xiaoqian were looking at the little goldfish, and they were so distracted that an unfamiliar voice came out coldly, startling them.
Hurriedly turned his head to look around, and found that Qin Yue was drinking tea in the pavilion not far away, admiring the lake and mountains, and couldn't help but put his mind at ease.
At this time, whether it was Nie Xiaoqian or Zhao Ling'er, after following Qin Yue for so long, they all developed a deep dependence, as if only by Qin Yue's side could they feel a sense of security.
Perhaps, it is because of Qin Yue's strong strength, or maybe it is because of his different attitude towards others.
It's not like there is a saying that a mysterious man can make a woman hopelessly fall in love with him!
Perhaps, Qin Yue is such a mysterious man!
Mysterious origin! Mysterious strength! Even the personality is a little mysterious in the eyes of Nie Xiaoqian and Zhao Linger, but it is such a mysterious man, which makes the two of them have an unprecedented sense of security.
"The Witch King? Interested in stopping over for a cup of tea and a chat? β
Sitting in the pavilion in the lake, Qin Yue raised the tea cup in his hand and invited the witch king by the lake to come and talk!
