The Old Man Comes VIII.
The tranquility of the Heavenly Realm and the Earth Realm did not last long, driven by the ambition of the Nine Heavens King, a large number of demonic soldiers and demons will flood into the border of the Heavenly Realm, maliciously harassing the celestials living in the local area, and repeatedly provoking the majesty of the Six Pure Heavenly Kings.
The Six Pure Heavenly Kings understood the intentions of the King of Jiuxiao, and he ordered to rebuild the Water Garden Palace, and train the descendants of the Shui family, Shui Ming, to be the King of the Water Garden, and the Water Lotus turned into a princess, and the prestige of the Shui clan showed great signs of recovery. The King of Jiuxiao colluded with General Zhuo Gong to destroy the Water Yuan Palace in one fell swoop, and poisoned and killed Shuilian's father, the hatred between them is like fire and water, if the Shui family prospers again, it will become the biggest enemy of the King of Nine Heavens.
Therefore, the King of the Nine Heavens couldn't wait for this day to come, even if the current strength of the Earth Realm was not enough to fight against the Heaven Realm, he still had to rely on his courage to make this risky move. The first is to exert pressure on the Heavenly Realm to distract the attention of the Six Pure Heavenly Kings and the people, and the second is to force Shui Lian and Shui Ming to take revenge on him before the situation is ripe, and take the opportunity to remove these two biggest obstacles.
In order to prevent the newly revived Shuiyuan Palace from making waves again, the Six Pure Heavenly Kings found an opportunity to test the water lotus, fearing that she would not be able to bear the idea of revenge. Fortunately, Shui Lian is quite knowledgeable, and without the need for the Six Pure Heavenly Kings to bother with words, he promised to be optimistic about Shui Ming and ensure that Shui Yuan Palace would not participate in the battle between heaven and earth.
After appeasing the Shuiyuan Palace, the Six Pure Heavenly Kings finally put their minds at ease and arranged the war wholeheartedly, and under the joint efforts of Tianzun and the Heavenly Generals, the battle situation on the border tended to calm down, and the heavenly people who were in panic also settled down.
The border has been reported frequently, the Six Pure Heavenly King is naturally overjoyed, the Nine Heavens King is famous, I heard that he has inherited the true strength of the Earth Demon, coupled with his extraordinary talent, he has extraordinary spiritual power at a young age. Not only that, the Nine Heavens King's ambition is as strong as his strength, and he always tries his best to behave in front of the Earth Demons, vowing to take the Heavenly Realm into his pocket, thus proving that he is the unique heir.
It can really be said that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, although this Nine Heavens King is very capable and the biggest threat to the Heavenly Realm, he is still very young after all, and he has not formed a climate at all. However, the Six Pure Heavenly Kings did not dare to underestimate the enemy, the last time he was deceived by his phantom, the loss of the Water Garden Palace was already the limit of what he could bear, if there were any more tragic casualties, the majesty of the royal family would no longer exist.
More importantly, the Heavenly Realm cannot be reduced to the slavery of the Earth Realm in any case, and as the king of the Heavenly Realm, he cannot let his people be slaves of the Earth Realm. In the contest many years ago, he lost his most beloved woman, just because in his heart, Jiangshan is much more important than Hongyan, although he was sad afterwards, he did not regret it, in order to protect the heavenly realm, he would rather endure eternal loneliness.
Besides, he still has Tianyin, and having this son is the luckiest thing in his life, what else does he have to care about! All in all, he swore to protect the heavenly realm to the death, and would never be defeated by the Earth Demon. Dizun, this sworn enemy, how could he lose to him!
In order to commend the heavenly soldiers and generals who have made meritorious contributions on the front line, the Six Pure Heavenly Kings specially rewarded many treasures, the seals were sealed, and the promotions were promoted, and the Jingming Palace was very lively for a while.
However, there are also people who do not ask for rewards and official positions, and General Changying, who has repeatedly made military exploits, rejected the canonization of the Six Pure Heavenly Kings in public, and made a dumbfounded request.
"Your Majesty the King of Heaven, the last general has been fighting for many years, and now he is still alone, thanks to His Majesty's love, he has the courage to ask His Majesty for marriage." General Changying is nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he speaks like a bell.
The white jade cup in the hand of the Six Pure Heavenly King almost fell to the ground, and the general Changying in his impression was not smiling, and he did not have much pursuit of fame and fortune. Someone once made fun of him as an ascetic, who had come to the heavenly realm to practice in this life, and when he waited for his cultivation to achieve positive results, he would return to the throne of the Immeasurable God.
Since he is an ascetic, of course, he can endure suffering and sin, money, fame and fortune are regarded as dung in his eyes, and the woman's family is not in his life at all. Counting up, General Changying has been in the palace for twenty or thirty years, and he has long passed the age of marrying a wife and starting a family, the main reason is that he is not concerned about this aspect, otherwise with his reputation and status, he is still worried that there is no woman to make a promise!
There was a slight laughter at the dinner party, and as General Changying's colleagues, their thoughts were similar to those of the Six Pure Heavenly Kings. Changying, known as the iron-masked general, actually thinks about women when he thinks about them, I don't know if he is stimulated by anything, or if he has become a normal person in the war.
"Changying, do you have a woman you like in your heart?" The Six Pure Heavenly King thought about it, and he suddenly proposed to give marriage, and it was very likely that he had already found the person he wanted.
Hearing what the Six Pure Heavenly King said, the others couldn't laugh, and everyone was curious about whose girl had the ability to change the life of the Iron Mask General.
General Changying's face flushed, he cleared his throat, looked behind Shui Lian, and didn't say anything for a long time. As a result, everyone's eyes shifted to Tianyin and Shuilian, especially the maids and palace maids beside them, secretly guessing which woman was so lucky that she was actually taken by the most promising general in the heavenly realm.
Tianyin and Shuilian glanced at each other, and looked at General Changying inexplicably, they were not usually familiar with each other, except for meeting on this occasion, there was almost no intersection in private. Now that he is mentioning the major events of his life, how can it have anything to do with them!
It's not just Tianyin Shuilian who is curious, but Sanbuliu and the ancient and modern are simply wondering if they are dead, and the three don't stay at the handsome Zhang who is about to be restored, laughed maliciously, and said in a low voice: "Hey, brother, that Changying general, he shouldn't have taken a fancy to you!" Take a closer look, you are indeed like a woman sometimes, and at the same time you have a man's temperament, feminine and masculine, both men and women kill! ”
Qian Gujin glanced at Sanbu lightly: "Even if it's you, I can find you a man." ”
"You, you, look at what you said ......" Sanbuliu's fat face trembled, like a bowl of cold powder mixed with water, he looked around wistfully, looked at Bijun and Changqing, and muttered, "Bijun, this girl looks beautiful, but she doesn't look like a virtuous and virtuous master, Changqing, she is not a great beauty, she is better than a hero, it is quite suitable to be a general's wife." ”
Just when everyone was speculating, General Changying bravely opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, the last general does have someone in his heart, she, she is the maid next to Princess Shuilian, Miss Bijun." ”
"Bijun?" Shui Lian looked back at Bi Jun, Bi Jun was also stunned, her mind was clouded, and she couldn't remember what contact she had with General Changying. If you have to think of the slightest connection, it is that she once helped General Changying repair a coat, but this was all a few months ago, and she still happened to meet him looking for palace maids everywhere, and she was kind enough to help him for a while.
Unexpectedly, kindness caused trouble, General Changying has remembered her since then, and after remembering it in his heart for so long, he gradually developed a good feeling, and he didn't ask her about the wishes of the party, so he asked the Six Pure Heavenly King for marriage in public.
"I, it's not ......" Bijun was nervous by everyone, and waved his hand again and again, "I don't know why General Changying said this, I only met him once in private, and helped him mend a piece of clothing, I didn't mean that to him, I never ......"
Bijun's panicked refusal was like an arrow piercing General Changying's chest, even on the battlefield, he had never been so seriously injured, he only felt that the pain in his chest was unbearable, as if the flesh and skin were about to tear apart. He has never had a nostalgia for any woman, but she is just a woman, or a woman from the realm, without the protection of the princess, she doesn't even dare to go out of Jingming Palace. Didn't she think about her future? She always has to find a man to rely on, and she has to find someone who has the ability to protect her.
Seeing General Changying's frustration, the Six Pure Heavenly King took the initiative to ask Bijun: "Miss Bijun, I wonder if you have a marriage contract?" If not, Changying is indeed a worthy husband and wife. ”
"I didn't ......" Bijun turned her head to look at the ancient and modern, but the ancient and modern were still expressionless, her eyes were red in a hurry, and she bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, I don't like General Changying, I'm afraid I will live up to Your Majesty's kindness." ”
The Six Pure Heavenly King frowned slightly, and said, "Miss Bijun is in her prime, so she can't stay in Jingming Palace as a maid all the time!" For the sake of the future, we still have to think long-term! ”
Because of the majesty of the Heavenly King, Shui Lian was not good at refuting him in court, and glanced at Tianyin, who smiled and nodded, signaling that she didn't have to worry. He knew his father and helped General Changying speak, just to protect his face, but if Bijun insisted on disagreeing, he would not force it. Forget about this matter in the past, just if Bijun is temporarily wronged, General Changying is upright, and she will not embarrass her afterwards.
Sure enough, General Changying said: "The last general is unwilling to force Miss Bijun, please atone for your sins, and allow the last general to retract the request." ”
The Six Pure Heavenly King came down the steps: "Okay, this king will pay attention to Changying in the future." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Changying hugged her fists and thanked her, got up and returned to her place, drinking alone, ignoring the eyes of others.
This turmoil seems to have passed, but Bijun's heart is overturned, and finally when the dinner is over, she chases the past and the present to the back garden.
"Why didn't you help me out just now?" Bijun was about to let go, staring at the ancient and modern angrily, "You are still not a man, someone asked me to marry him in public, and you didn't even say a word." ”
Sanbu didn't pay attention to the situation, quietly slipped away, and sighed: "His Majesty the Heavenly King is right, you stay here, you always have to plan for your future, and I am not qualified to ask about your future." ”
"You admit it? Admit you don't like me? Bijun's eyes welled up with tears, "I have done so many things for you, can't I make you feel a little moved?" I came to the heavenly realm for you, and even gave up my only relative, do you think I am doing it to myself? ”
He didn't even raise his eyebrows: "You don't need to sacrifice for anyone, give up your only relative, it's your choice." ”
"Why? Why is this happening to me? Seeing that he was leaving, Bijun hurriedly caught up a few steps, took his hand and asked, "Just because you saw me, you remembered those unpleasant things?" Are you doing this to me? I'm me, my sister is my sister! ”
Don't look over the past and the present, refusing to look at her, Bijun's heart gradually became cold, and she asked unwillingly: "Okay, let me ask you, if I wasn't the second lady of the Tourmaline Palace, would you like me?" Will? ”
Bijun looked up at him expectantly, unable to escape anymore, looked into her eyes, and said indifferently: "No." ”
Tears fell, Bijun slowly let go of his hand, and whimpered: "You go, you go......"
He sighed softly again, wanting to say something, but finally didn't say anything.
