Chapter 41: The Ghost Path
As soon as Duan Haochu's words came out, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence again.
It's just that the silence this time is different from before, and people's eyes wandering between Zhu Luan and Duan Lizheng are full of gossip.
"Speaking of which, the new Guoshi and Duan Ergongzi are indeed rumored to have a marriage contract......
"Huizhou has spread all over the ...... I didn't expect it to be true......"
"Now it seems that it is really a good match, and the marriage of the Duan family is really ...... Ahem......"
I thought of Duan Haochu, although he became attached to Princess Yingluan, but finally became a widower in Wangmen.
Zhu Luan listened expressionlessly, obviously paying more attention to the marriage contract than recommending others, after all, what Duan Haochu said just now......
Affectionate? How does this term sound familiar?
Zhu Luan remembered, wasn't this the word on the marriage book when she was engaged to him back then?
Duan Haochu used the word here? On her and his brother? What the hell is this man trying to do?
Zhu Luan looked at Duan Lizheng on the stiff side and sighed in his heart.
There is such a brother, and he always feels that he has a bumpy road ahead.
Sang Yu looked at Duan Haochu, who had a sincere face, and nodded noncommittally.
"The old man is pleased for His Majesty's loyalty to the Duan clan of Huizhou."
The young emperor was stunned, then nodded duly.
"That's right."
Spying on Sang Yu's face, the emperor took a deep breath and looked at the other jinshi under the high platform.
"The Duan family in Huizhou is really an example for the family, and you and other jinshi want to learn from the second son of Duan."
Your Majesty?
Zhu Luan looked up at the emperor.
Duan Lizheng stiffly bowed his head and saluted, "Your Majesty has a good reputation." ”
Zhu Luan clearly saw the approving look on the young emperor's face, and then waved his hand.
"If there are other new science and technology scholars who volunteer, they can sign up to walk with the national soldiers after the court meeting!"
Sang Yu looked at the emperor who had said a long sentence, frowned, the emperor stopped at the right time, Sang Yu didn't say anything more, and then spoke.
"Well, that's it, there are other Jinshi who want to go, but we'll talk about it later."
But Duan Lizheng is determined to go along.
Zhu Luan looked at Duan Lizheng, who was too late to say a word of refusal from beginning to end, and sighed in his heart.
But it's nothing, if Duan Lizheng doesn't want to go, she has a hundred ways for him to go.
It's not the most important thing, it's the ......
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have a suggestion ......" Before Zhu Luan finished speaking, the indifferent voice of the Xiliang Sword Saint came from the high platform.
"One last thing to confirm."
The people who thought that the court meeting was finally coming to an end were shocked.
"Regarding the route of the escort," Xiliang Sword Saint didn't care about the eyes of the others, and looked at Du Haoqian, who was about to leave before.
"Boy, is the 80,000 troops you said earlier a confirmed news?" Xiliang Sword Saint glanced at him.
Zhu Luan was stunned.
The momentum of the Xiliang Sword Saint had changed, like a real behemoth.
He got serious.
Under that kind of majesty, Du Haoqian, a half-step grandmaster, couldn't help but tremble, and took a deep breath to speak.
"Military reports were received from three different channels at the same time, and it is difficult to falsify such a large-scale military build-up."
Eighty thousand.
It's true
Mo Han on the side couldn't help but tremble in his heart, as the heir of the Sword Pavilion, he had already come into contact with some secret news, and he knew that 80,000 was almost half of the national army in Xiliang.
Even if it's these people now, plus Master and Master Gushi......
They will die.
Absolutely......
"Then you won't be able to go on the official road."
However, just when everyone was trembling, the Xiliang Sword Saint just said lightly.
The eyes of the others widened, including Duan Lizheng, who originally thought that he was going to die together.
Can't take the only official road? So what else can they ......
Can you go to heaven?
Even if the Great Grandmaster might be able to fly, what about the others?
The reason why the Xiliang military is desperate to deploy so many troops is that it is the only road that people can pass, and they can still ...... if they can't walk
"If you can't walk humanely, you can only take the ghost road." At this moment, a clear female voice sounded in the main hall.
Xiliang Sword Saint glanced at the young girl under the high stage with some surprise, and said expressionlessly.
"You know a lot."
Zhu Luan smiled bitterly, this is what she was just about to make a suggestion to the emperor.
Since the escort mission is unavoidable, she must at least find a way to save her life.
She had been in the military for many years, and knew better than any pretentious practitioner the true power of this weapon of war.
In front of the sea of people, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, he is nothing.
In her opinion, the cultivator's assault on an army of more than 10,000 people was simply suicidal, and she must not go to the official path with a lonely heart.
It's just that high-level cultivators often regard themselves as gods, and they always think that they can be a husband and a wife, and she originally planned that if the people of Xiliang Sword Pavilion couldn't listen, maybe they would have to take some drastic measures, but now it seems that they don't need to.
But......
"Ghost way?"
"What's that?"
Even the native-born disciples of the Xiliang Sword Pavilion looked at each other.
"She's talking about Shu Dao." Xiliang Sword Saint said lightly.
Shu Dao?
As a Zhou person, Duan Lizheng had never heard of this word, but the next moment, he found that the faces of the Xiliang people in the hall had changed.
"Shu Dao? Want to walk through the Misty Ridge, the Sea of the Dead, and the Great and Small Sword Mountains? ”
Misty Ridge, Sea of the Dead, Big and Small Sword Mountain.
Duan Lizheng had a bad premonition in his heart when he heard it, although they were all unfamiliar place names, but just listening to the names always felt that it was not a good place......
As if reflecting his hunch.
The next moment, a female disciple in the Xiliang Sword Pavilion screamed with a pale face.
"Impossible! No living person can cross that path! There are ghosts eating people! ”
She glared at Zhu Luan angrily, "You don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the Great Zhou, you don't know what's there!" ”
"I know." Faced with the female disciple's horror and anger, Zhu Luan just spoke lightly.
"That's why that road is called the Ghost Road."
It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky.
But in the Shu Dao of this world, it is more difficult than Qingtian.
Because that's a true path for the dead.
It was a wild land untouched by humans.
In this world, the charm of the ghost really exists.
The reason why most of them can't be seen is that someone has dispelled the darkness for the Zhou people.
Zhu Luan looked around at the majestic Hanyuan Palace.
The wide hall symbolizes the superior geographical environment and the great Zhou of great resources.
Despite all the injustices, the strife, the strife, the darkness, but in Middle-earth, this country is the only happy land.
How terrible the outside world is, it is estimated that it is difficult for the Zhou people who have stayed in the Great Zhou to stay in the Great Zhou and have not experienced the troubled times and have always been indignant about the status quo.
Understand what kind of gifts they live under.
Zhu Luan closed his eyes.
On the entire continent, even the precarious Great Zhou is still a relatively safe country.
Emperor Taizu established an excellent order, and the husband and wife of Emperor Chengzong and Tianhou Niangniang tempered the order more solidly.
With the efforts of the three great masters for two generations, they have created a unique country with their unique geographical conditions.
A huge shelter.
It is better to be a peace dog than a troubled world.
The outside world is a place that is even more chaotic and dark, far away from human civilization.
And she has to go abroad and face the darkness of this world again.
Starting today, her vacation is coming to an end.
