Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Three Princesses Sacrifice Their Lives for the Country!
The entire imperial city was in chaos, and all kinds of rumors were flying, "Run, there are goblins in the Xuan Kingdom, and they will eat people!" just eat the three princesses! ”
"What? Are you sure you read that right? ”
"It's true, my godfather is the father-in-law next to the emperor, and I saw a huge python 100 meters long swallowing the third princess, and there are no bones left...... If I don't tell you, it's too late if I don't leave! ”
"Then I'll pack up my things quickly, this imperial city is too unsafe, sooner or later I will die here!"
For a while, no one was doing business, the whole street was chaotic, the crowd of people running wildly, carrying small and soft debris, from time to time there was a stampede, bleeding, anger, anxiety, and a sense of uneasiness descended on the whole imperial city.
Long Xiao flashed and ran towards the palace, and saw the palace minister kneeling in front of the palace in the distance, and he suddenly felt bad. Hurried towards the crowd.
"What happened?"
The minister raised his head and saw that it was King Xuan, so he said: "The emperor is in a hurry, and he just fainted in the court, and now the imperial doctors are treating him inside!" “
Long Xiao frowned and walked inside, but the eunuch general who guarded him didn't stop him.
On the yellow dragon bed, the emperor in a yellow robe was lying on the bed with a frown, his face pale.
Long Xiao shouted softly: "Your Majesty? ”
The emperor's eyes immediately opened, looked at the person in front of him, and said excitedly: "Where is Jun Yao, where is Jun Yao?" ”
Long Xiao frowned, he really didn't want to lie and deceive him, but he had to do it, and the third princess had already passed away, so wasn't it a deception!
After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it was the Xuanhe Dragon King who captured the princess, and he swore to die that the third princess would be his beloved concubine, and no other sacrifices would be accepted, and he also demanded that there would be no need to sacrifice again in the future!" ”
The emperor was shocked when he heard this, and his pain overflowed, "How can this be? ”
Because Long Xiao deliberately amplified his voice by a few points, all the ministers kneeling on the ground outside heard it clearly, looking at each other, excited more than sad.
The crisis of the Xuanguo has been resolved, so what's the harm of the three princesses sacrificing it, and it was the emperor who refused to sacrifice her to the Dragon King at the beginning, so she suffered today's disaster, so it is said that human life is in the sky!
Long Xiao put on a sad look, "Your Majesty, I still have something to report, although Jun Yao and I have not been married for a long time, but I have always regarded her as the only wife, she died suddenly this time, Wei Chen is disheartened, every time he sees Xuanhe, he is in pain, the only request of the minister is to resign from his official position and travel around, this is Jun Yao's life before her death, although she is no longer there, but Wei Chen still wants to fulfill our promise!" ”
The emperor looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Jun Yao has a husband like you who cherishes her in her life, it's worth it!" It's better for you to go for a walk! ”
"Your Majesty, don't be too sad, Jun Yao has become the Mother of Dragons, and will definitely help you protect this splendid mountain and river, I wish you to manage the Xuan Kingdom well, the emperor must cheer up quickly, and not waste the trust of the people!"
After Long Xiao finished speaking affectionately, the emperor nodded, "Okay, I know!" The emperor shouted to the servants by the door: "Spread my message, in October of the Xuanwu year, the third princess Xuan Junyao sacrificed to the river in order to save the lives of the people of Xuanguo, and the whole country mourned for a day, and from now on, this day will be positioned as the founding day of Xuanguo!" ”
"The emperor is wise!" The ministers knelt down and shouted, but they did not raise any objections, after all, the dead are great, and no amount of honor is only to comfort the living.
"Your Majesty, the minister is leaving!" Long Xiao made a big salute and strode out, and the emperor said softly: "Take care!" Long Xiao didn't look back.
When he arrived at King Xuan's Mansion, Xia Shiming greeted him and looked at his empty side suspiciously, "What about the princess?" ”
Long Xiao said in a deep voice: "It's a long story, go to the study first, and I'll talk about it carefully!" ”
"She's been captured by a thousand-year-old snake demon!" Long Xiao said in a deep voice.
"What?" Xia Shiming exclaimed, "Haven't you been guarding her all the time?" How could you let that snake demon take advantage of it? ”
"She seems to have prepared a plan to escape a long time ago, and deliberately left the table at the Wuta Temple, and after a while, she ran to the dense forest and was devoured by the ink snake guarding in the dense forest!" Long Xiao frowned, but today's events were not what he expected.
"Devouring?" Xia Shiming was taken aback again, "What about the Dragon Balls?" ”
"Dragon Ball is fine, when I arrived, the snake demon had already left, and Luoyu who was following her fainted to the ground, she told me these things, I traced the enchantment he laid down, Xuan Junyao was drinking with him, so happy!" Long Xiao said unhappily.
"Is there such a thing? So what is the purpose of the ink snake? Xia Shiming was puzzled.
Long Xiao sneered. "His delusional desire to use the power of the Dragon Ball to transform into a dragon is really whimsical. But when did the rain come? Why didn't you inform me? Do you know that she has only done so much, if she is hurt by other demons, how should you ask for sin! “
Xia Shiming said in horror. "Do you see the rain? This is mainly because she has been crying and begging, so I can, I promise, not in the future! Will definitely take a good look at her! Then you fought with the demon, is the princess very dangerous? ”
Long Xiao shook his head, "That's not true, that ink snake doesn't have the ability to take out the dragon ball, what he wants is the dragon ball, not destroy it!" I have temporarily promised the snake demon to take Xuan Junyao to cultivate and take out that dragon ball! ”
Xia Shiming pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "It's okay, there is a response along the way!" When does the trip depart? When the time comes, it will rain......"
"Prepare, the day after tomorrow!" Long Xiao looked at the moonlight outside the window and said in a deep voice, because he didn't know how to deal with the rain.
Seeing the peaceful state of Xuanguo, the two of them were also much relieved, Long Xiao raised his hand and laid a protective barrier in the sky above Xuanguo, and walked towards the dense forest with confidence.
The enchantment under the ink snake was unpredictable, and the two had to step on the clouds to find it slowly, and suddenly, the water clouds under Long Xiao's feet paused, and Xia Shiming was puzzled, only to see that he had summoned the water sword and threw it behind the tree.
"Who?"
"Brother Xiao, it's me!" A delicate figure stood up tremblingly from behind the tree, looking at Long Xiao with a shy face.
Long Xiao immediately led the water sword to the side, and the water sword broke in the air, splashing everywhere.
"What are you following me for? Don't hurry back to the West Sea Dragon Palace! Long Xiao frowned and asked.
"Brother Xiao, I know that you are leaving Xuanguo, and I will go with you when it rains, you see that my luggage is ready!" She lifted the bag from her back and shook it.
"Nonsense, do you know that this journey is dangerous and unpredictable, if I don't take care of you, what danger will happen to you...... "What can I do?"
Before he finished speaking, Luo Yu promised: "Brother Xiao believes in Luo Yu, I can take care of myself, and I will definitely not cause you trouble, this Xuanguo is too boring, Luo Yu came out this time, and I also want to see the complicated world, Brother Xiao You don't want to, see Luo Yu being ridiculed for being ridiculed for the frog at the bottom of the well!" ”
She must grasp this opportunity, Long Xiao is her childhood sweetheart, the two themselves have an inexplicable feeling, maybe after falling in love with her for a long time, accepting her, she can become the real dragon mother.
The place on Long Xiao's side should belong to her, she thought to herself.
"This ......" Long Xiao hesitated, Xia Shiming said: "Since the eldest lady is resolute, you can also consider going along, and you can also take care of her!" After all, we are all men! ”
Long Xiao looked at Xia Shiming, knowing that he was also thinking about himself, frowning and thinking for a moment, he said to Luoyu: "Okay, but you have to promise me, listen to my arrangement, and don't mess around!" ”
The excited rain didn't notice who "she" meant, and happily rushed up and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao, for taking me along, and thank you Brother Shi Ming!" ”
Xia Shiming touched his nose in embarrassment, this was the first time she called him brother, I'm afraid she was too happy.
The three of them walked forward, leaving only a beautiful seven-colored rainbow in place, which was not as beautiful as all in the world.
"You're here!" Mo Xuanxi looked at everyone with a smile.
"What about her?" Long Xiao frowned, but there was no trace of Xuan Junyao.
"Brother Xiao, who is it?" Luoyu looked at him puzzled.
Xia Shiming kindly explained: "It's the third princess! ”
"Ah, wasn't she swallowed by a giant black snake?" Before she finished speaking, Mo Xuanxi smiled, "Look who I am!" ”
Luoyu turned his head, almost stunned by the scene in front of him, isn't this the cannibal black snake!
"You're the Snake King?" Luo Yu asked.
"Dragon Girl, you're so smart!" Mo Xuanxi likes the title of king very much, and she has the eyesight to see it.
"Don't talk nonsense, what about people?" Looking at his smug face, Long Xiao was displeased.
"What's the hurry, isn't this it?" Mo Xuanxi shook his hands and waved towards the lake, only to see the surface of the lake shake dramatically, purple water surged from the center of the lake to both sides, and a huge purple lotus stretched out at the bottom of the lake.
With the gaze of several people, the lotus buds that were originally wrapped in them stretched out one petal, and Xuan Junyao actually lay in it, sleeping quietly.
