2. Urgent edict to return to China
"Qin'er, take a look."
The dim candle flame reflected the face of Xuanyi under the cloak, and the owner of this face was Zhuang Wanqin's master, and he was also the real master of this fairy island. At this time, she was handing a letter to Zhuang Wanqin, who had just entered the door.
The Nanguo fire paint seal on the letter attracted Zhuang Wanqin's attention. She took the letter and said to Xuanyi while opening it: "Master, the matter of Yang Liufeng has been planned, just wait for Dongfeng." ”
Xuanyi nodded slightly, and the candle flame flickered by the wind.
"Qin'er, it has been twelve years since you came here with me when you were three years old. As a teacher, I watched you grow up, taught you the art of war, practiced your martial arts, and was proficient in Piccolo, and she was also a generation of talented women. Now, Nan is in trouble, and it's time to ...... I went back and took a look. ”
The intermittent words reveal a lot of reluctance. But so what? Zhuhua attacked Nanguo on the grounds that the people of Nanguo crossed the border to cultivate, and it happened that the empress of Nanguo was seriously ill, and the ministers were haggard, and they lost several cities in a row. The princess personally went into battle to kill the enemy, but unexpectedly, there was a spy in the court, and the princess was captured. Now at the time of life and death, Empress Nan issued an urgent edict to Zhuang Wanqin to return to the palace. The situation is grave and there is no room for delay.
"Master, this ......"
Zhuang Wanqin's hands trembled unconsciously, how many years have passed, since she left the country when she was a child, she has never returned. I vaguely remember the fountain in front of the palace hall, where neon lights appear every noon. Now, are you going back?
"I have prepared the horses, right next to the hut at the east ferry, and you should go back as quickly as possible, in case anything goes wrong."
With that, Xuanyi flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
The black clouds pressed against Xiandao, and Xuanyi's breathing gradually increased. Suddenly, in a place where others could not see, he silently looked up to the sky and laughed, and hot tears rolled down.
Fifteen years, fifteen years have passed, and the opportunity has finally come! Zhuang Nan, you wait, you deserve it, I won't spare you a cent!
The thunder fell violently, reflecting the distorted face of Xuanyi, and also reflecting the figure of Zhuang Wanqin leaving in a hurry.
"Is the girl going on a long journey?"
Suddenly, a question was heard behind him, and he stumbled on the footsteps of Zhuang Wanqin, who was leaving in a hurry.
By the way, there is still this person who has not been solved.
The wind became more and more violent, making the willow wind feel that the turquoise would scatter along with the leaves of the trees that were unbearable.
"Come with me."
Zhuang Wanqin frowned, left a sentence and continued to rush to the east ferry.
I can't care about it so much, now the state affairs are important, as for this person's ......, anyway, Emperor Zhuhua's body is still tough, and it won't be a problem to wait for another two or three years, so let's send him back first.
The two left Xiandao in a hurry, and Yang Liufeng also went to peace after getting Zhuang Wanqin's promise, and the two went their separate ways.
Nanguo Imperial Palace.
The glazed tiles, which should have been dazzling, were dim at this time, and a trace was seen when they were gently stroked. The pond in front of the main hall is still there, but the fountain is long gone. It's noon, and the neon glare is not visible.
It's war.
The war lasted for nearly two years, and the national strength was empty, and the lives were devastated. Along the way, he starved to death, but he couldn't do anything about it.
These are the people of their own country. Looking at those people with yellow faces and thin muscles, who would have thought of the scene when the national power was strong a few years ago?
"Stop, who are you?"
The guards guarding the door stopped in front of Zhuang Wanqin, this person had never appeared in the palace, and he was gorgeously dressed, could it be that the front defense had been breached?
It was still the same green dress, but there were a few mud stains stuck to it from the heavy rain, but the gorgeousness of the dress could still be revealed from the clean place. Moreover, Zhuang Wanqin is talented and learned, just looking at the temperament of the body, you can know that it is different from ordinary people, and she naturally arouses the vigilance of the guards.
Zhuang Wanqin saw that the guards looked abnormal, and naturally thought of what they were thinking.
The soldiers of the country have gone to the battlefield, the palace guards are empty, if the Zhuhua Kingdom is now attacked, it will be powerless, and can only recognize the thief as the father and make an alliance under the city.
A piece of golden order that has not appeared for more than ten years slowly appeared from Zhuang Wanqin's arms, this golden order, today's guards probably don't know it, Zhuang Wanqin's eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Please, present this golden decree to the people in the palace."
The two guards looked at Jin Ling, and then at Zhuang Wanqin, who was in the dust, and one of them took Jin Ling and entered the main hall. And the other guard, holding the halberd's hands never relaxed, stared at Zhuang Wanqin without blinking.
After a while, the guard who had entered the temple staggered out, and behind him was followed by a female officer with silver sideburns.
The two stumbled towards this side, only to see tears flashing in the eyes of the female official, and calling out indiscriminately: "Your Highness...... You're back, Your Highness......"
The female officer's navy blue robe was wrinkled, and the hair ornament on her head hung diagonally, and tears glistened in her dark eyes. With a plop, the female official knelt in front of Zhuang Wanqin, kowtowed heavily, and then said solemnly: "The old minister Wang Fan welcomes His Royal Highness back to the palace." ”
"Female officer, please hurry up, now that the situation is urgent, let's go to the palace to discuss the matter in front of you."
Zhuang Wanqin picked up the excited female official and walked into the hall with a little support.
Looking at the two figures that were gradually moving away, the guard who stayed at the door suddenly came back to his senses, moved the halberd to the side and asked the other guard, "Who is she, and why does the female official call her Your Highness?" ”
The guard looked intently in the direction the two men had gone, and did not hear the other guard ask him. just muttered in his mouth: "Your Highness is back, and there is hope for Nanguo again......"
Zhuang Wanqin followed the female official into the door of the palace that had not been entered for more than ten years, and the double phoenix hovered at the top of the hall, lifelike. The grandeur has not diminished in the slightest, but the ministers have haggard faces, and the empress on the dragon chair is also full of sadness.
"I've seen the Queen Mother."
Zhuang Wanqin stepped forward to salute, tears unconsciously dripping to the ground, this is her real home. I will definitely make it a prosperous peace!
With his eyes tightly closed, no one will be able to see the firmness in them.
"The second princess traveled thousands of miles, tired from the boats and cars, and went to the side hall to rest first...... Cough...... I will go over after I have dealt with the affairs of the court. ”
If she didn't open her mouth, she just spoke, and as soon as she spoke, Zhuang Wanqin heard the empress's weakness. The malignant disease has long penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the disease is terminally ill. Surprise overflowed in her eyes, the situation was much worse than she imagined!
"Yes."
After Zhuang Wanqin made another big salute, she walked into the side hall under the leadership of the female official.
"I wonder how long the Empress has been ill?"
Without hesitation, Zhuang Wanqin asked the doubts in her heart. When she first got up, she had seen the empress's complexion, which was extremely pale, and her mouth was blue. In her memory, the disease required patience, and the Empress, apparently, had been delayed by the war for too much time.
"Don't hide it from Your Highness, it's been more than half a year."
Has it been so long? Zhuang Wanqin glanced at the side hall, there was a clean basin of water and handkerchiefs prepared next to the bed, because the windows were not opened, the air in the hall was very turbid.
