Chapter 4: Humiliation

When Ji Xin returned to the top of the slope, she was so frightened that her whole body was trembling slightly, and when she saw Baojin, she just covered her sleeves and cried, but she couldn't say anything.

Baojin was also scared into a cold sweat, she put the silver needle in her hand into her sleeve, patted her shoulder casually, and comforted her in a low voice.

A shadow covered the snow overhead, and Bao Jin looked up, only to see that the clouds were not wearing armor, and the pale blue clothes were flying in the wind, reflecting the handsome eyebrows more and more dazzling.

He stared at her silently, not saying a word.

When Bao Jin saw him, he felt that his left shoulder began to ache again, she frowned slightly, Yun Shi felt something wrong, he stretched out his hand, and grabbed her wrist without saying anything.

Bao Jin was about to struggle, but he felt that the palm of his hand was clamped like steel, and he couldn't shake it even a bit.

Yun Shi gently rolled up her sleeves and looked at them carefully.

The skin looked more crystal clear under the snow, the redness and bruises on the shoulders had dissipated most of them, and the muscles and bones were not unusual.

"It's okay to recover......"

Yun Shi felt unharmed, and then let go.

Bao Jin sneered slightly, put the snow arm into the silk clothes, and then asked lightly: "Which arm do you want from me today?!" ”

Yun Shi looked at the heavy eyes stained with anger, and was slightly distracted by this unpredictable blackness, he didn't get angry, only sighed lightly, turned around and drifted away.

In the snow, his figure is heroic and upright, but somehow, he is dyed with a bit of loneliness and loneliness.

"I'm sorry ......"

In the north wind howling, a whisper came from afar, and Baojin stroked his left shoulder, his eyes were far away.

****

The quartermaster was instructed by Yun Shi to quickly reassign them to the car, and the next day the wind and snow stopped, and when they went on the road again, there was already a warm charcoal basin in the car.

"General Yun looked fierce and evil at first, but his heart was fine......

Ji Xin remembered yesterday's scene, although she had palpitations, but she also saved her gratitude to Yun Shi, as soon as she spoke, she remembered that this person was not only the culprit of destroying the city and destroying the country, but also the culprit who broke the left arm of the "princess", she snorted: "Emperor Ji ......"

"Do you want us both to fall to the ground by such a title?!"

Bao Jin glanced at her, and there was an unprecedented sharpness in his eyes-

"I know that you have a deep relationship with Princess Yuran, but from now on, you have to remember: I am Princess Yuran!"

Bao Jin smiled, and the usual elegance turned into a majestic at this moment-

"You know, we're about to enter the capital......"

"The Imperial Capital ...... Capital"

She chewed on these four words, as if they were powerful, and as if they were haunted by dreams, and they were gloomy.

"I'm back......"

The voice was low, bringing endless amazement.

****

On the day of entering Beijing, it was the wind and the sun, the autumn was high and cool, and the blue bricks and stones of Suzaku Street were particularly delicate and smooth under the sunlight.

The procession that returned in triumph was greeted by the officials of the Ministry of Rites sent by the emperor in the ceremonial pavilion forty miles outside the city.

The new dynasty has just been established, civil officials are still extremely scarce, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites have not long been promoted by the new science and technology jinshi, Yun Shi saw these new faces, although he was surprised, but he also deeply felt the grandeur of the emperor this time.

The long and unseen procession entered, and the Suzaku Street was splashed with clean water, and both sides were surrounded by water.

The sergeants who maintained order whipped with long whips, but they still could not suppress the noise of the people.

"I heard that Gumo City was finally taken down......"

Some young people said excitedly.

"The new dynasty is thriving, it seems that soon the sea will be pacified, and the world will be unified, those separatist forces, but the glow of the fire is only in Haoyue!"

The scholars and students who had received the blessings of the new dynasty were full of ambition in the crowd.

But there were also elderly people who sneered: "The reason for victory or defeat is undecided, it's too early to say this!" ”

……

Not to mention the discussion of the people, Yun Shi brought dozens of horses to the front of the Shenwu Gate, automatically dismounted and entered, and the group passed through the forbidden garden, and finally came to the Great Inner Emperor.

In the deepest and highest part of the Zichen Palace, the pearl and jade tent heavily covered the emperor's throne, looking down on everything in the world condescendingly, but the people below the stairs could not glimpse the emperor's face.

The throne was too deep for even the sun to shine through. The people on the throne, under this situation, are either lonely to death, or they call themselves gods and finally go to the end of madness......

Yun Shi violently stirred his spirit, and his dangerous and rebellious thoughts were extinguished, and on the surface, he was still a pious and subservient minister.

The old system of the Celestial Empire, the emperor was supposed to meet the ministers in the Taihe Palace, until Emperor Jingyuan had a whim, and only then built this high-level Zichen Palace, from then on, the court will come from this, and the emperor's face will no longer be seen by the ministers - then, the world is in chaos, and then, it is His Majesty who invaded Beijing and created a new dynasty.

In just over a year, he actually moved into this Zichen Palace, don't you know the lessons of the past......

"Brother Xian captured Gumo City, it's really hard......"

The palace suddenly spoke, and it was a unique clear and bright voice, but it was like a string that had not been corrected for many years, bringing out a faint astringency and tiredness.

It was the voice of the Emperor.

Yun Shi lowered his head, and no one could see his expression—

"The minister is really frightened, but it is only thanks to His Majesty's blessing and the soldiers working together that they can——"

"Do you want to talk to me too?!"

A low laugh came from above Gao Que, interrupting his statement, like an ice blade slicing through everyone's hearts—

"Although Gumo City is small, it has also made a few of my generals return with feathers, Ah Shi, you are indeed worthy of being the number one general in the world!"

Yun Shi listened to this great praise, but he almost had to stand up his cold hairs, he was terrified for a moment, and said urgently: "Long live ......"

"For a general, it is better to be brave than to be wise, and it is better to be wise than to learn...... You don't have to be humble when you are in the clouds, and this is the case, which is what everyone sees! ”

As if cutting gold and breaking jade, the emperor made a conclusion, and it was inconvenient for others, including Yun Shi, to place the rafters.

Yun Shi sighed secretly in his heart, when this test came out, I don't know how many people will be jealous, but his face became more and more respectful: "Even so, it is also the emperor's old teachings...... The minister has always kept it in mind and dare not forget! ”

In the pearl and jade, there was a faint sigh, but it was not real, the emperor chuckled, and asked, "Is King Gumo dead?" ”

"Yes, when he saw that the king had arrived, he died on the medicine, and his body had fallen into the abyss of ice and snow."

"What about his family?"

"There is only one daughter, called Yuran."

As Yun Shi spoke, his eyes trembled slightly, and the girl's clear and misty eyes seemed to appear in front of him-

"Although King Gumo is dead, he is still guilty, and his daughter will not enter the sect as a sinner's wife and daughter......"

What the?!

When Yun Shi heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his whole body trembled.
