Chapter 21 The Warrior

"I don't know." Princess Jinyang lowered her head in some shame.

"Don't know?" Zhu Luan frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"I ......" Princess Jinyang seemed to remember some bad memories, and her face turned pale.

Suddenly, a hand fell on her head. Zhu Luan stood up, stretched out his hand and touched her head. However, her height was only as high as Princess Jinyang's chin, and she could only reach it on tiptoe, and she was a little shaky.

Princess Jinyang looked at this picture, inexplicably felt funny, she settled down, and continued, "Since your death, my mother has become more and more busy, and it is difficult for me to see her, eight years ago, one day my mother suddenly sent me to her palace and said that she had stewed soup for me, and after I drank the soup, I was weak. ”

Zhu Luan felt very sad. I feel sorry for the queen of heaven and the princess of Jinyang.

"My mother told me that she wanted me to stay at the Fanyin Temple in Xiliang for a month, and after a month she would send someone to pick me up at the Fanyin Temple," Princess Jinyang said in a low voice, "and then I was secretly escorted to the Fanyin Temple overnight by the Tao Lady and the hidden guards. ”

Fanyin Temple is the first of all the temples in the world, located on the Yumen Snow Mountain at the junction of Xiliang and Dazhou, and is a permanent neutral zone, similar to the status of a country called Switzerland in Zhu Luan's previous life.

"The effect of the medicine my mother gave me lasted for a whole month, and I was arranged by the abbot to be in the deepest meditation room, and the Tao lady stayed with me every day, and I couldn't even ask the pilgrims about the situation during the big week."

"A month later, the effect of the medicine disappeared, and I was looking forward to my mother coming to pick me up", Jin Yang shed tears, "However, what I was waiting for was the obituary of the Great Zhou Dynasty spread all over the continent, the queen of heaven died, the fourth brother succeeded to the throne, changed the Yuan Zaichu, and the world was amnesty." ”

"Zai Chu." Zhu Luan whispered, "So what? Who is in power in the imperial court now? Don't tell me that the fourth brother usurped the throne eight years ago. ”

Lazily paralyzed on the futon, Zhu Luan seemed to be smiling.

"It's not that the third brother and the fourth brother have never sat on the throne, if they have such courage, they don't have to wait until then."

"Your Majesty, he's a little strange," Princess Jinyang said solemnly, "Sometimes it seems that you want to make up your own mind, but as long as the national teacher says to postpone the discussion, Your Majesty will often change his mind after that." ”

"Who is the national teacher?" Zhu Luan asked.

"It's Sangyu." Princess Jinyang replied quickly.

Zhu Luan slowly narrowed his eyes, "It's him...... Not dead yet, that dead old man. ”

Heroes emerge in troubled times, during the Taizu period, the martial artists of the Middle Earth Continent came out in large numbers, among which seven masters successively broke through the highest realm of martial arts at that time, entered the innate realm from the acquired realm, reached the extreme of the Heavenly Dao, and were recognized as great masters.

"One wood, one stone, one husband and wife, one gold, one sword and one Bodhi."

This is a sentence used to describe the Seven Grandmasters on the rivers and lakes.

And the "wood" in it refers to mulberry elm. Known as Sangdao people, the eighteenth generation of the Taiping Temple, he was originally an ordinary disciple who was not favored in the Taiping Temple, but he was discovered by Emperor Taizu to become a military advisor.

"Sang Yu became a national teacher, and the fourth brother became a puppet, these are not surprising."

Zhu Luan stood up, and the afternoon sun passed through the paper door of the meditation room, and the red sunset gilded her with a layer of gold.

It looked like there was a flame burning on her.

Bathed in the bright red sunset, Zhu Luan paced slowly, sketching the edges of light and shadow with his toes.

"But Jinyang, you say, isn't it strange that the way and time when I and the queen of heaven died?"

Walking to the end of the light and shadow, Zhu Luan turned around violently.

"Everyone knows that Princess Yingluan is not afraid of fire, but someone used fire to assassinate me, and that fire could actually hurt Sihuo Suzaku's bloodline. There had been a lot of guards and soldiers around my courtyard, and less than an hour after I entered the room, no one answered when I called for the guards. At that delicate moment, the queen of heaven was drunk for the first time. ”

"Calculate my most unguarded attack method, transfer my own soldiers, and even transfer the queen of heaven from the mountain at the banquet, and take out the weird toad in a vain attempt to steal the bloodline, and finally succeed in stealing. It's easy to say, but it's hard to get everything together. “

"Eight years ago, the Queen of Heaven sent you to Fanyin Temple in advance, proving that she had a premonition of her end."

"What did the mother find?"

"The last patchwork was like an estimate of how I would respond."

"Jinyang," Zhu Luan smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "In the previous life, Princess Yingluan's death in the sea of fire was by no means a simple vendetta, and it must involve some conspiracies and grievances. And I'm not the only goal. It's likely that my mother's death was related to mine. ”

"Killing me is by no means a person's temporary intention to do it, and the person who can calculate me and my mother with the power of one person has not yet been born in the world, no matter then or now." There was a hint of imperceptible arrogance on the corner of Zhu Luan's mouth.

"Such a last-ditch strategy, a tailor-made ruthless killing game, must be the result of a long period of careful design by many forces. Even some of the measures taken may be used on Niangniang at the same time. ”

Princess Jinyang smiled sadly, "Yes, who doesn't know that you are powerful, everyone is saying, how can anyone kill Princess Yingluan and the Queen of Heaven...... But you are all dead, leaving me as a person who is not very powerful, and I can't even find out the cause of death of my relatives. ”

Zhu Luan stood on tiptoe and touched Princess Jinyang's head again.

"You said you checked, what about the ancient stones? Is he alive? What did he say? ”

The ancient stone is the personal guard of the queen of heaven, and it is one of the seven masters, and it is the "stone" in "one wood, one stone, one husband, one wife, one gold, one sword, and one Bodhi".

However, he has an even rarer title, he is the first national soldier since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He was poor when he was young, but his talent was amazing, and he met the queen mother in the end of the micro, and the queen mother funded him a sum of money to study and practice martial arts, and then he didn't expect Gu Shi to miraculously take the literary and martial arts test in three yuan, which caused a sensation throughout the country.

Before Gu Shi, scholars and warriors only regarded "national warriors" as an unattainable goal, and never thought that anyone could really get this legendary title.

In order to thank the queen of heaven, Gu Shi volunteered to become a palace guard and has always been by the side of the queen of heaven, like a taciturn shadow.

As a great master, as the closest person to the queen of heaven, Gu Shi must know something. Zhu Luan had a hunch that the ancient stone would be an important clue to unravel the mystery of death.

"What about Uncle Gu Shi? Still in Shendu? ”

After Zhu Luan asked, he found that Princess Jinyang was silent.

"What's wrong?"

"Uncle Gu Shi has gone into hiding a year ago, and before he went into hiding, he announced that he would not see anyone in the future, and left a letter, saying that only one person in this world could see him in the future."
