Chapter Seventy-Nine: Punishment Must Be Given
The carriage drove all the way to the foot of the palace.
The palace is worthy of being the place where the Son of Heaven lives, and the high platform extends to the palace, the Guidian Lan Palace, which is even more extraordinary under the sunshine.
Lian Hua glanced at the palace twice, and opened the curtain with his backhand to look at Yan Xi. "I said, what did the high priest tell you, and how could she let us into the palace?"
Yan Xi has been really tired these days, and he is closing his eyes to recuperate, listening to Lian Hua say this. didn't open his eyes, closed his eyes and said, "What did she say, didn't you all hear it?"
Lian Hua, "Does she know our identity?"
Yun Zhu said on the side, "The priests of the human world can also go through the heavens and the earth and calculate the future with gossip. It's not surprising to know who we are. ”
Lian Hua nodded, "In that case, this priest still has some skills." ”
Yan Xi said, "I can't control it so much now, since she promised to find a solution in ten days, she must be prepared for the worst." 10 days...... It's the deadline, and if you can't find a new solution, I'm afraid the human world will be in chaos. ”
The high priest arranged for them to stay in a wing room to the south of the palace for distinguished guests and envoys.
Everyone was guided all the way, and the attitude was respectful and polite, which should have been explained by the priest in advance.
The dishes of the palace are exquisite, the taste is good, and everyone eats a lot. Especially Lianhua, he praised it again and again. After they were full of wine and food, they went back to their rooms to rest.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the high priest came to Yan Xi's room.
"Now that the cannibal plague is rampant, Lin Ruo dares to ask for help...... A save in the world. Lin Ruo still had a mask on his face and knelt down towards Yan Xi. Yan Xi could feel from her eyes that she was very tired. This palace, this world, is about to push her into a corner.
Yan Xi stretched out his hand and helped Lin Ruo up, "Lin Ruo, if you want to save the world, you not only need us, but also see whether the world is willing to be rescued." ”
"What does Miss Yan Xi mean?" Lin Ruo only calculated that there would be nobles to help him in the near future, but he didn't know the identities of several nobles, so he had to be commensurate with the words of the mortal world.
Yan Xi said, "It means to do your best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”
When Lin Ruo heard this, his eyes couldn't help but darken. Then Tong Yanxi nodded, "I know what the girl means, I don't know if the girl has clues about the cannibal plague?"
"I don't have a clue yet. Yan Xi said.
Lin Ruodao, "I have a clue here, I don't know if I can find a solution?"
Yan Xi said, "What clue?"
"Recently, the epidemic has been rampant, and there have been messages from all over the country that someone can cure the cannibal epidemic, although I don't believe it, but I also sent people everywhere to investigate. Although it was fake most of the time, I also found a few useful clues from it. It is said that in Daohua Village, three hundred miles west of the imperial city, there lived an old man, and the recipe he held in his hand could dissolve the cannibal plague. I heard the news and sent someone to check, and the symptoms of several residents in the surrounding area have indeed recovered. It's just that when they pretended to be sick and went to ask for help, the old man went crazy for some reason. ”
"Crazy?"
Lin Ruo nodded.
Yan Xi said, "Then we'll go to Daohua Village tomorrow to see if we can find anything else." ”
Lin Ruo bowed to Yan Xi when he heard this, "In this way, it will trouble the girl." I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't go with you. ”
Yan Xi knew Lin Ruo's situation, the people in the palace were unpredictable, and she insisted on letting the people into the city today. When she goes to court tomorrow, she is afraid that she will not be punished, and the pressure she is under is far greater than she imagined.
"I knew we just had to send someone to show us the way. In addition......" Yan Xi looked at Lin Ruo, "The high priest has been in power for many years, I don't know if there is a way to exorcise the demonic qi?"
"Demonic energy? Is it the boy in white today? I see that there is a faint black qi on his body. ”
"Hmm. Most of his body has been invaded by demonic energy, and he may fall into the demon at any time, I don't know if the priest can do it?"
Lin Ruo thought for a while, "Yes, yes, but I don't know if it is useful for that son, and this method is very dangerous." Demonic energy is the gathering of evil thoughts in the world, cruel, murderous, bloody. If you want to get rid of the demonic energy on your body, you can use the divine fire of the divine realm to burn the whole body and destroy the demonic qi. This method is what I see from an ancient book, saying that in ancient times, in order to save his beloved woman, a god burned the woman's whole body with the fire of the gods, and then really removed the demonic energy from the woman's body. It's just that this divine fire, I don't know what it is, and I can't help that son's illness, I'm afraid I can't help it. ”
Yan Xi listened to Lin Ruo's words, and he had some idea in his heart. She hadn't heard of the Divine Fire either, but if there was a way, she would just wish for it. When she asks Shi Lao with her divine sense, she can definitely save Yun Zhu back.
"I see, thank you priest for helping me out. Yan Xi said to Lin Ruo.
"Girl doesn't have to be polite, just call me Lin Ruo. If there is nothing wrong, I will go back first, and the girl can send someone to inform me if there is anything. ”
"Hmm. Yan Xi replied and watched Lin Ruo go out.
Lin Ruo came out of Yan Xi's room, his steps became significantly faster, and he walked all the way towards the priest's hall.
The lights in the priest's hall flickered slightly, making the hall more and more empty.
When Lin Ruo walked in, he saw a familiar figure standing on the main hall.
When Leping heard the sound, he turned his head and saw that it was Lin Ruo, so he greeted him with a smile.
Lin ...... Priest, are you back?"
"Hmm. See Monarch. Yan Xi saluted towards Le, but was stopped by Leping raising his hand.
"Priest, I told you that you don't have to bow with me. ”
Lin Ruo withdrew the hand that was held in his hand by Leping, looked at the little monarch in front of him, and sighed helplessly.
"Monarch, did I say that I am a minister and you are a king, and we are destined to be imequal? The monarch must be like a king, and the courtiers must do what the courtiers should do. How will the monarch command the hundred officials in the future, and how will he serve the people?"
Lin Ruo is not a lively person, after years of experience, her face is frosty, and she is very calm, even if she is often with her again, it is difficult to see other expressions on her face. She is others, and even more so on herself.
For Leping, the child she has supported since childhood, the requirements are naturally not low. But about this title and etiquette, how many times Lin Ruo said it, Leping just couldn't change it.
When Leping heard Lin Ruo say this, he also knew that he was wrong, and looked at Lin Ruo with red eyes. "Priest, I know it's wrong, and I won't do it again next time. ”
Lin Ruo saw Leping like this, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Okay, my eyes are red. Lin Ruo raised his hand as before, gently wiping away the tears that overflowed Leping's eyes. "Red eyes at every turn, crying nose, like a child, that has the appearance of half a ninety-five. ”
"I didn't want to be the king of this country, I didn't want to be the lord of the world. If you hadn't asked me to sit down, priest, I wouldn't have done it. Leping watched Lin Ruo help him wipe his tears, and his ears slowly turned red.
"If you don't do it, there are naturally many people vying to do it, but since you are in this position, you must be responsible for it and the people of the world. ”
The tip of Leping's nose lingered with the incense on Lin Ruo's body, and the faint fragrance of magnolia flowers made people feel calm.
Leping looked at Lin Ruo with a handsome face, "If I am not the monarch and the lord of Lexu, will the priest still grow up with me, will he still be good to me?"
In a word, push two people to the Jedi. Le Ping looked at Lin Ruo calmly, trying not to show other feelings, and Lin Ruo also looked at Le Ping with an indifferent face.
"You know that. Lin Ruodao, "The priest only supports the monarch and only plans for the monarch." ”
Le Ping, who listened to the answer, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lin Ruo and smirked. "I'm just joking, I want to hear the priest's answer. Besides, what I have just said is not true at all, so I am still the king of Lexu, and you must always be with me, priest, and stand with me. ”
Lin Ruo looked at Leping quietly and didn't say a word.
"Today, are those ministers in trouble for you?" Lin Ruo said.
"Embarrassed? Where are they embarrassed, that posture almost dragged me down from the throne, and they themselves will be the emperor. As soon as Leping mentioned this, his heart was furious. "Every day, they take some of what they don't have to fool me, saying that the city gate must not be opened, that refugees must not be allowed to enter, and that the capital must be kept and the last position of the royal family must be kept. I almost couldn't help dragging them all down and replaying dozens of boards, what bullshit, it's not that I'm afraid of death. ”
"Did you quarrel with them?" Lin Ruo then asked.
"Nope. Le Ping raised his chin, "I'm not busy with what you said to me, priest, I don't clash with them head-on, I just sit on a high seat, watch them quarrel below, and when it's almost over, I will go down." ”
"Well, you're doing a great job, at this time. Anything you say can cause irreversible consequences, and besides, you are the king, and every step you take, all the eyes of the world are staring at you, and you must be careful. Let the courtiers make trouble for two days first, and when the time is almost over, the two sides are deadlocked, and you are giving orders. Take this opportunity to build your prestige. ”
"But ......" Leping hesitated for a moment and looked at Lin Ruo, "They said that you let the refugees in today, and they want you to give them an explanation in the court tomorrow." But don't worry, no one can touch you if I don't agree. ”
"Nope. Lin Ruo said. "You must deal with this matter fairly, otherwise not only me, but even you will be implicated and the royal family will be disgraced. ”
"It's not. How could I punish you?!" Lin Ruo had a ball of anger in his heart, she was his most important person, how could he punish her? "It's obviously not your fault. ”
"Monarch. Lin Ruo grabbed Leping's shoulder and asked him to look at him. "Leping, remember, that's my fault. It's me who is falsely preaching the holy decree, and you must punish me, do you hear?!"
Lin Ruo rarely lost his temper, but now his sentence made Le Ping stunned.
Even if he was reluctant and heartbroken, Leping still nodded, "I know." ”
