Chapter 298: What kind of person is His Highness?
At the entrance of the academy, the smoke and rain were misty.
The oil-paper umbrellas, splashing in the rain and tide, the female disciples of the White Deer Cave Academy looked calm and silent. Daozong's convoy left slowly, in the rain curtain is quite gloomy, Xiling has been in civil strife for a long time, after Li Changshou died, today's return to Ling, is the opportunity for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give Daozong "chaos".
Xuanjing, the daughter of the Taihe Palace Master, returned to Lingling with the palace master's edict, and was finally able to find out the death of her father and settle her revenge, while Chen Yi, who had been imprisoned in Tiandu for three years, was finally able to return to Sanqing Pavilion to show her skills, and they were greeted by the diehard party in Xiling Pavilion.
This time, Tiandu will no longer interfere with Xiling and maintain an absolute bystander attitude.
"The Academy's 'bystander' this time is very irrational. ”
On the roof in the distance, Su Mu held a paper umbrella, I don't know how long she looked, next to her sat the old man in the cloth, Jiuquanzi leaned on the bricks of the eaves with one elbow, supporting his cheeks, half drunk and half awake, did not use the starlight, let the rain silk jump on the clothes.
He carried the flask in his other hand and shook it gently.
"Yan Xiling's night, His Royal Highness is not absolutely sure, right?" Su Musha said coldly, "Now it seems that Ning Yi has won, everyone is happy, the forces led by Li Changshou in the western realm were quickly eradicated, and Shen Yuanjun also safely received the official position of 'Champion Hou', and was ready to set off to return to the north with the blessing of Tiandu." But if Ning Yi loses, the outcome will be diametrically opposite. ”
Jiuquanzi said softly: "His Highness is a person who is difficult to figure out, and few people can guess what he is thinking. ”
"Before Li Baijiao inherited the position of the prince, he practiced in Hongfu River for a period of time, went out of Hongfu River, returned to Tiandu City, and sang songs and paper fans every night...... But when the Red River is blowing, isn't it?" Su Musha narrowed his phoenix eyes and stared at the old man in the academy, "The prince's mentor is Mr. Yuan Chun, and it is you who taught him to practice martial arts. After Yuan Chun's death, there is no one in this world who knows Li Baijiao better than you. ”
Jiuquanzi heard Yuan Chun's name, his expression froze, the old man took a sip of wine, and said softly: "Your Highness has supernatural talents, but Your Majesty is too powerful...... Five hundred years of exploits are too much, unless His Royal Highness can step through the phoenix, he can only live in the shadow of His Majesty Taizong for the rest of his life. ”
Su Musha was silent when he heard this.
Emperor Taizong is the emperor of the Great Sui for countless years, and when it comes to merits, he can rank among the top three, and the demon clan has an unprecedented peak in the world, and there are emperors of the level of the White Emperor and Dragon Emperor, and there are two of them...... Compared with the Eastern Emperor two thousand years ago, these two demon saints were more fierce and aggressive, and the northern barrier jointly formed by His Majesty and Pei Min was to forcibly stop the most prosperous offensive of the demon clan.
Having such a father is a lifetime of pride and a lifetime of pain.
"His Highness is a very conceited person, I once taught him the art of picking stars in the academy, he had to hold the bright star in his hand on the first day, and finally regardless of the blood, the imperial blood broke out, and he also had to hold the blazing star in his palm. He is such a person, if he wants to win something, even if he will suffer a lot of pain, he will make a firm move. Jiuquanzi looked back at Su Musha and said, "Everything Your Highness has done now includes stepping on the eastern border...... It's all about moving forward for the ultimate goal. ”
"Destroy another world. ”
This sentence was like thunder in the light rain.
Su Mu lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness's cultivation is far inferior to Taizong's. ”
Jiuquanzi just smiled, shook his head, and said, "You want to say that how can His Highness do something that the Great Sui Emperors of the past dynasties can't do?"
The female dean did not speak, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
"I think too, but ...... What if?" The old man took another sip of wine and said with a smile: "Didn't Shen Yuanjun step through Fengming Mountain? Didn't Ning Yi kill the Eastern Emperor?
"The general trend ......"
Su Musha chewed on this sentence quietly.
"Sometimes, the general trend requires the academy to make concessions, and the general trend requires the capital to make compromises...... This is an irresistible force. Jiuquanzi drank a lot of wine, and the words became more, pretending to be drunk, and said: "If Ning Yi dies in Yan Xiling, of course everything will be different, Li Changshou is powerful, the wind is rising in Xiling, and the east will be crusaded, but in the years after that, it will ...... The Great Sui may be embraced into an iron plate, but there will never be a chance to start a war against the demon clan, Shen Yuanjun will die, the general's mansion will decline, and those connected with cause and effect tonight will die overnight. ”
Su Musha was a little confused, and said, "That's why the academy has to make a move." ”
"That's why the academy didn't make a move. ”
The old man stretched out a finger, shook it slowly in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "How can you hope that even Li Changshou's killing can kill the guy, how can you hope that he will destroy the demon clan?"
Su Musha looked shocked.
Not the destruction of the East...... But to destroy the demon world?
"Your Highness is very young. But the pattern ...... It's really big. ”
Jiuquanzi smiled, a little relieved, and more emotional, "Stepping on the eastern border has never been what he wants." Of course it is important, but if he can't even pass this level of Yan Xiling...... It doesn't matter. ”
Su Musha suddenly felt a huge curtain open in front of him.
She didn't think at first that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was able to win in the east-west wrestling because of his strength...... The victory of the scorching tide is more due to luck and creation.
But then she found out that the prince's goal was very clear from the beginning, and he had not left Tiandu for decades, what kind of determination, tenacity, and wisdom did this require?
She thought that she was standing on the high place of the heavenly capital and saw the true face of the prince, but when she opened it one by one, it was all a mask.
Until this time, even this Nirvana had a doubt in his heart.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... What kind of person is it?
She came back to her senses, lowered her voice and asked, "If Ning Yi is dead, what should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do?"
"If you have no children, what else can you do?" Jiuquanzi smiled and said, "Which emperor of the past dynasties is not ambitious and wants to destroy the demon clan, but the person who meets the requirements does not appear...... Except for the first Emperor of Light and His Majesty, who can break the barriers between the two worlds with his own force? Of course, His Highness can't do it, but he sees the 'general trend' and defeats the demon clan, and someone in this generation can do it. ”
"Shen Yuan-kun...... Ning Yi ......" Su Musha subconsciously pronounced these two names.
"Maybe someone else, someone you've overlooked. Jiuquanzi blinked slyly, sold a pass, and at the same time stretched his waist, yawned and said: "I went back, I drank too much, and I don't know what nonsense I said, remember...... You didn't hear anything today. ”
Su Mu shook his spirits and hurriedly held an umbrella for the old-timers.
"No need, a handful of old bones, one day when the wind blows, it will fall apart, and what kind of rain do you hide. Jiuquanzi laughed at himself, looked up and said, "Let the wind and rain come more violently." ”
......
......
The horses' hooves broke through the puddles, splashing a mass of broken silhouettes, and more than a dozen fast horses galloped between the mountain roads, galloping in the direction away from Tiandu.
The corners of the black robe were scalded with moire, almost blending into the wind and rain under the gloomy sky.
This wagon convoy, with neither carriages nor bags, and unloaded their burdens, left from Tiandu without taking anything with them.
And if there is no accident, they will not come back.
They will stay away from Tiandu, away from Zhongzhou...... Stay away from the Great Sui world.
"Grand Master, will we never come back?"
The woman who opened her mouth was named Snow Falcon, who was Yun Xun's henchman who was born and died, and followed the head of the Great Division to Lingshan, and on the way back, due to the pursuit of the ghost cultivators of Liuli Mountain in the east, this elite convoy suffered heavy casualties, and she was one of the few survivors.
"Maybe back. ”
Yun Xun's face softened under the rain, his tone was very light, and he said, "The sky can't accommodate us, Your Highness has Kunhai Tower...... There is no longer a need for the Intelligence Division. ”
After the blood tide in Tiandu, the rebels in the east were all annihilated, and the spies of the Intelligence Department completely caught the wrong direction...... It was not Gongsun Yue who gave the order at all.
In other words, all his intentions were clearly captured by the prince.
Even Gongsun Yue ...... is just an ignorant chess piece, he is not the head of the Supervision Department at all, and the real one, Yun Xun is not a fool, he also guessed it.
He has only one thought now, while the prince has not yet made a move, he will quickly leave the Tiandu and go to the Great Wall in the north, so that Ning Yi and the General's Mansion can fulfill their promises, if I am not mistaken, there is still a batch of arms resources there, and he will take those goods to the Tianshen Plateau outside the northern border.
"Snow Falcon, it won't be long before you see your 'hometown'. A true hometown. Yun Xun thought of some rumors about that grassland, and said with a smile: "Maybe for you, the decision to leave Tiandu is not bad. ”
Snow Falcon snorted and laughed, she had rarely seen Lord Yun Xun smile before, the chief priest was always cold, but these days seem to have changed...... When did the change begin?
It seems to have changed after going to Lingshan.
Did the Grand Priest come into contact with someone?
The moment this thought came to mind, a name burst out of Snow Falcon's heart.
"Phew"!
Yun Xun suddenly reined in his horse, a whole column of densely charged convoys, on the narrow mountain road urgently stopped the momentum of rushing, dozens of zhang away, in the rain curtain, stood a red-robed messenger with long sleeves down.
"Red River Messenger?" the snow falcon's delicate face changed drastically, and immediately assumed a fighting stance, the crossbow bolt drawn from the sleeve of the robe, and the cross was set up to aim at the thin man in the rain curtain.
The wind and rain stirred the messenger's red robe.
Yun Xun stretched out a hand and gently pressed the snow falcon, and also signaled to the comrades behind him not to move.
His heart suddenly fell, staring at the bright red figure, and greeted softly: "Lord Zhu Hou." ”
The former Lord of Tianfu, the absolute powerhouse among the Star Monarchs, was even more unfathomable after entering the Red Breeze River.
At the moment, he just stood silently, stopped in the middle of the mountain road.
"You're slower than I thought I would, and I've been waiting for a long time. ”
Zhu Hou sighed, looking numb like a dead man.
He looked at Yun Xun, saw the latter's gloomy expression, and frowned, "Your Highness wants me to wait for you here." ”
Yun Xun already had one hand on the scabbard at his waist.
Even fleeing from the sky...... Is it also counted?
"Your Highness wants me to give this thing to you, and by the way, I will bring two more words. ”
Zhu Hou walked forward lightly, his feet were soft and not focused, more like levitating against the ground, there was a thrust behind him, he came to about ten zhang and threw a red box.
Yun Xun caught it, and out of caution, he didn't open the box.
"His Royal Highness said, the monarch and the ministers are good to gather and disperse. This is the way chief, please take care of those materials for him, and make a good relationship with the people of the grassland. Zhu Hou saw that Yun Xun was really cautious, so he showed a meaningful smile and said, "Mr. Yun Xun...... His Royal Highness also said that there is no need to think so badly of him, you might as well open the box and take a look. ”
Yun Xun frowned tightly and slowly opened the box.
The sound of "Jue" was very light and pleasant, the wind and thunder were swirling, and the clouds and mist were blowing on the face.
Inside the box is a Purple Lotus Ancient Coin.
It is a thing left by the teacher, which can be used for divination and fortune and misfortune.
Suddenly, Yun Xun rarely lost his mind, he only felt that all his caution and all his caution were like a full punch that fell on cotton at this moment.
Prince...... What kind of person is it?
The mountain rain is pouring down.
Thunder flashed.
Yun Xun came back to his senses again and found that there was an empty space in front of him, and Zhu Hou was nowhere to be found.
