202: Princess Lingshan
She didn't do it just now, just waiting for the emperor to see the true face of the prince, and now that she has received the will, she is ordered to beg the thief, and the momentum of that body is unique in the chaos, and I believe that no one can ignore it.
On the other side, the prince was eager to pick her skin and eat her flesh, so he immediately ordered, "Kill this woman, when the big thing is done, reward the title, ten thousand taels of gold!" ”
When the rebel soldiers heard this, they were all ready to move, and after they beheaded the eunuchs and palace maids in the distance, they swarmed in.
Nan Zhao did not flinch, holding the determination of people to kill people and ghosts to fight ghosts, only to see that the spiritual light covered her body, and she was red like a flame burning.
The prince was finally jealous of her spirit flower, and hurriedly asked the Nine Lives Servant to cover and retreat behind the people, and fought with Li Ji and the others.
Li Ji said uneasily, "Your Highness, this spirit girl is very powerful, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with!" ”
There was no need for her to remind him, Zhou Zheng also knew, so he ordered Jiuwu to come up with a countermeasure to deal with Nanzhao.
Jiuwu said, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, wait for the old man to cast a spell!" ”
Then, the old man continued to forge spirit runes in his hands, and he was worthy of being the owner of Xiaoyao Island, and he was able to form dozens of spirit runes at a time, and these spirit runes were driven by him to fly to the rebel soldiers, and the soldiers immediately became more brave and fierce.
Nan Zhao is not a vegetarian, so he attracted the power of Linghua to throw these soldiers out a few feet away, but he didn't want to, so he got up again and made a comeback like grasshoppers that couldn't be killed.
She thought to herself, this long-term enlightenment is a tiger and a cultivator, and there is a chance for this old man to eat good fruits!
At this time, the emperor's general Zhao had died, and the rest of Yu Linwei was not all killed, but also dying and struggling, and a large number of rebels with heavy troops in front of him were forced over, and there was only Nan Zhao by his side, so frightened that his face turned blue, and the six gods had no master.
"Nan Zhao, there are too many people, you should take me out of here!"
The southeast, northwest, and northwest are all the prince's people, unless Nan Zhao can fly, otherwise it is impossible to take him out of danger like this.
"Follow me! Emperor! She took off the purple bead in her palm, paid full attention to the surrounding situation, as long as someone pounced, she would draw the power of the spirit flower to repel it, and after a few times, many people fell around, some died, some were seriously injured.
However, these people who dared to follow the prince to kill the monarch and rebel were all outlaws who were not afraid of death, relying on the blessing of the spirit rune, the murderous aura became stronger and stronger, and Nan Zhao finally managed to kill a way and retreated to the state river outside the city with the emperor and Gonggong Cao.
In such a short two-mile road, the emperor and Gonggong Cao ran in front, and after she broke off, she solved several outcropping rebels.
"Nanzhao! There's no way ahead! "Gonggong Cao stopped by the river, the rainy season has just passed, the river embankment is very high, the water flow is also fast, they are not good at water, naturally it is impossible to go down the river.
"The number of the prince's nine servants has expanded over the years to as many as 2,000 people, this time from Tiandu, looking at the situation just now, it should be hidden from my eyes, all brought to Yunzhou, my Yulinwei has already been infiltrated by him, and the Yunzhou army's troop transfer talisman is also in the hands of Zhenguo Gong, he has been missing for several days, tonight - I am afraid that it will be more auspicious!" The emperor wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, because he had no weapons on his body, he could only pick up a few pebbles by the river and pinch them in his hands to defend himself.
Nan Zhao ignored the emperor's frustration at the moment, she saw the fire shining in the distance, and those rebels would soon catch up!
She can resist it, but the prince is not afraid of death when there are many people, she will be exhausted sooner or later, and she must quickly find a way to solve the dilemma!
At this time, she suddenly remembered that she still had a treasure on her, and immediately squatted down, took off the burden on her back, and took out a mirror from it.
The Emperor recognized it immediately!
"Epiphany!"
"Yes!"
"What are you doing with this mirror at this moment?" Although the emperor had a superstition about this mirror before, he had never seen the god in this mirror, so he didn't understand what Nan Zhao had to do in times of crisis.
She didn't have time to explain too much, the last time she came out of the mirror, she took away the dragon eye of Tan Long, she only asked Tan Long in the mirror, "I will make a spiritual sacrifice with you, lead the spirit flower to appear for you, and return your dragon eye, from now on, you listen to my spirit girl's send, serve me as the Lord, this spirit sacrifice opens, there is no repentance, are you willing?" ”
Tan Long has been waiting for this time in the mirror for a long time, for thousands of years, it is he who has bewitched the world to do things for him, and what he asks for is just to be able to appear in the mirror and be free, and the spirit girl is so powerful, it can be regarded as a good master, if you can rely on her to coexist, it will not lose a great thing, so he immediately allowed this spiritual sacrifice.
Nan Zhao was overjoyed, and attracted the power of the spiritual flower in the mirror on the spot, and in an instant, the spiritual light spread.
The prince's men chased her closer, only to see her head bowed, holding something in her hand, the sky was too dark to see clearly.
"Why didn't she resist?"
"Is there a fraud?" Whispers among the rebels.
When the prince and Jiuwu and others caught up from behind, they couldn't wait to order, "You are stunned, hurry up and kill this demon girl!" ”
"Kill!"
Dense figures rushed forward, waving swords in their hands.
Nan Zhao still maintained the movement of bowing her head, and when the rebels arrived in front of her, she waved her sleeves and raised the mirror in her hand to take a look.
"Boom-" The sound of the ground was deafening, and the ground shook slightly, and the surrounding rubble flew up randomly, and then a dazzling red light flew out of the mirror, it was actually a snake body dragon, the dragon flew into the sky, the aura around it, the picture was strange and amazing, those rebels all looked straight, almost did not react, the dragon turned in mid-air, and opened its mouth to spit out red dragon flames at the rebels on the river beach below.
"Not good!"
"Ahh Screams, screams, screams, terrible sounds.
The dragon flame can burn all the objects in this world, and the dragon flame sprays it to the rebels, and there will not even be a skeleton left, the scene is really tragic, the prince's face changed greatly, and while being escorted by the guards to find a safe place to hide, while urging you to realize for a long time, "Master, this demon dragon is so powerful, quickly find a way!" ”
Jiuwu was not as calm as he was just now, but he still said to the prince, "Your Highness, don't worry, the old body will go to get the magic weapon to subdue this demon dragon!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and went to get his magic weapon!
The prince has no master, and pulls Liji behind him, "This prince and the master will go to ...... together"
Before he could finish his sentence, the dragon flame of Tan Long spewed and burned the two personal guards beside him to ashes, and his legs trembled in fright, and he felt a stream of heat flow down from between his legs.
In comparison, Liji was also scared, but she was much more promising, and she could even see from the chaos which way Jiugo was going, she shouted, "Oh no, Your Highness, Master Jiuwu has run away!" ”
That's right, when Jiuwu saw that Nan Zhao actually used the spirit flower to lure out the ancient divine beast Tanlong, he knew that he was not an opponent, so he left the prince and fled!
Escaped!
The prince saw that his thousands of nine-life servants were burned by the flames of the dragon in a short time, and they were crushed, and immediately fled with Liji, but in the dark in the distance, a team of regular troops suddenly appeared, surrounding the surrounding river embankment, judging from the fire light emitted by the army, there were at least tens of thousands of people!
At this time in Yunzhou, only the Yunzhou army has this condition, and there is no one who can dispatch the Yunzhou army except Sima Feng!
"The old minister is too late to save the car, please atone for the emperor-" Far away, the prince heard Sima Feng's voice, panicked, and when he attacked Zhou Yang that day, he also sent a killer to ambush Sima Feng, so as to seize the tiger talisman in his hand; No, the killer came back to report, Sima Feng jumped into the Zhou River, and the Tiger Talisman was not obtained, but it is certain that when Sima Feng fell into the river, he was seriously injured and absolutely dead, so he stopped looking for the Tiger Talisman for the time being, just waiting for the matter to be completed, the Yunzhou Army will be controlled by him sooner or later, and it will not be feasible to set up other Tiger Talismans at that time!
Now that Sima Feng has come back and brought the Yunzhou army to the rescue, the prince is disillusioned and slumps on the ground on the spot.
At this time, Nan Zhao saw that the situation was under control, so he summoned Tan Jing back to the mirror.
The other rebels were also brought under the control of the Yunzhou army.
On the banks of the river on the outskirts of the city, thousands of people lost their lives tonight because of this rebellion, and it was only an hour before and after it was quelled!
Early the next morning, Longxi Mansion.
In the garden of Zhanyue Pavilion, the red maple trees are illuminated by the morning sun, adding autumn colors to the garden.
After Nan Zhao came back, she was busy until now, and she was still wearing the red robe the night before, she stopped under the maple tree to look up, and Gonggong Cao came over from the other side, and said to her in a respectful voice, "The emperor has just fallen asleep, and the king of Tai'an has also regained his freedom, and he is outside at the moment." ”
She was a little tired, and she didn't even want to spend the strength to answer, so she nodded, walked out of the courtyard gate, and sure enough, she saw Zhou Yang waiting for her outside the courtyard, and with him, there was Lu Donglai.
Before last night, Zhou Yang always thought that he would not escape this catastrophe this time, but he didn't expect that overnight, the ending would be reversed.
When he heard that the crown prince had rebelled and the emperor's life was hanging by a thread, Nan Zhao was excited when he contained thousands of menacing Nine Lives Servants.
This is his spirit girl, he does not take advantage of all this, but can imagine the urgency and shock of the time, this way, thinking that there are many things to say to her, but when he sees her coming out of that door, thin figure, the corners of his eyes suddenly sore, and all the words are choked in his throat.
In the end, it was Nan Zhao who looked at him and called softly, "Ninth brother!" ”
Xu spoke too loudly last night, her voice was hoarse, and the smiles on her face that subconsciously floated when she saw Zhou Yang and Lu Donglai were very distressing.
"Are there any injuries?" Looking up and down at her, except for her hair being a little messy and her face makeup being slightly flowery, she couldn't see any injuries.
Lu Donglai replied beside him, "The spirit girl who can control the dragon, who can hurt her, Lord Wang, don't worry about it!" ”
In his opinion, Zhou Yang is injured, but he cares about Nan Zhao, this kind of selfless brotherhood is simply redundant!
"Brother Jiu, I'm not hurt!" Nan Zhao nodded and asked him, "By the way, you just came from the emperor's side?" ”
Zhou Yang replied, "Yes! ”
"What did the emperor say?"
"Father asked me to go back and recuperate......" He said at this time, his eyes were complicated, and he subconsciously buried his head, "Father also said that he treated me harshly in the past and asked me to forgive him......"
Hearing this, Nan Zhao could understand why he reacted like this, because in his lifetime, he had never been looked down upon by his father, let alone the warmth between father and son!
It was something he could not have hoped for before, it was like a dream, he was happy, but it was so unreal.
Lu Donglai said on the side, "I believe that the emperor has understood a lot after last night's rebellion, and the prince is also bitter!" ”
After that, Zhou Yang was ordered by the emperor to personally deal with the affairs after the prince's rebellion, although the prince and Li Ji were captured, but there are still many prince's cronies on the run, including Jiuwu one, this person has fled, but it is bound to be captured.
Nan Zhao was summoned by the emperor alone, and in the evening, she appeared in Longxi Mansion in plain clothes.
After two days of repair, the emperor was much better, but he was also seriously ill.
"The little girl greets the emperor!" Nan Zhao saw that the emperor's honorifics never had a second sentence, and they were clean and neat.
The emperor already knew her temperament, and hurriedly replied gently, "When you come to see me in the future, you can avoid kneeling with your surname!" ”
"Emperor Xie!"
The emperor has just dismissed all the maidservants in the hall, leaving only Gonggong Cao here, and there is no need to hide his words, directly mentioning "I promised you that night that if you can quell the prince's rebellion, I will make you a national teacher, and set up Yang'er as the prince, I will never break my word!" ”
Calling her in front of him so quickly to talk about it, the emperor also learned a lesson from the prince's rebellion, and it was obvious that he wanted to appease and win her over.
Nan Zhao bowed his hand, unwilling to talk to the emperor in a roundabout way, and said bluntly, "Please also ask the emperor to take back the imperial order of enshrined the little girl as a national teacher!" ”
Sitting on the dragon chair in the middle, the emperor listened to this, and his face showed puzzlement, "Do you know what kind of official position the position of the national teacher and the court is?" How many people in the Xuanmen in this world covet it, but you don't want it? ”
She replied without hesitation: "Although the little girl did her best to save the emperor and the king of Tai'an, it was not for her own glory and wealth!" ”
"Oh?" The emperor's harem is in front of the court, whether it is 3,000 concubines or 100 civil and military officials, who is not looking forward to his reward and sealing if he has made meritorious contributions, this girl is a strange person, and she doesn't even want the national teacher in hand?
"You go on!"
"Nan Zhao has been regarded as an ominous evil thing since he was a child, just born, he was thrown outside the temple by his biological father, he was a person who should have died a long time ago, and then he had to help him, so that he can master the power of the hand and soul flower today, the power of the spirit flower comes from all the spirits, and it can pass all the spirits, it does not belong to me Nan Zhao alone, the world is what my heart is tied to, Nan Zhao has no career ambitions, I only hope that there is a Ming Jun in the world, and the world is peaceful!" Nan Zhao stood straight in the center of the hall, her light white dress was elegant and clean, spotless, just like all the peace and humility on her face at the moment.
That night, seeing that she actually controlled the dragon and burned so many rebels in an instant, why was the emperor not jealous in his heart?
Everyone has desires, and people's hearts are even more greedy, he was born in the royal family, and even his own son can betray and kill each other for the sake of power, if such a powerful spirit girl thinks, what can't he get? So before she came, the emperor was afraid and respectful of her, and now when he heard her words, his heart was touched; He had also heard that Nan Zhao had been expelled from the division, and the people in the same way had killed her, but that day she was on Bodhi, and did not seek revenge from them, but finally rescued one or two, this kind of mind, which made him the emperor who had been for 20 years admired, and he persuaded from the bottom of his heart, "Since you are concerned about the common people, wouldn't it be better for me to give you the position of national teacher?" Stay by my side, assist me and Yang'er, the people of the world are peaceful and rich, isn't it for the benefit of the common people? ”
Speaking of this, Nan Zhao remembered one thing, and he never had a chance to say it to the emperor, so he asked now, "The former national teacher has no bounds, he has a high position in the government and the opposition, and he has framed Zhongliang and confused the king with evil words, why?" ”
The emperor frowned slightly, this is a good talk, why did you mention this girl? Can't you save some face for me?
Nan Zhao continued, "It's because the emperor named him a national teacher, gave him the right, and gave him the opportunity to run rampant in the government and the opposition, but as everyone knows, this Wuyan is no different from those charlatans, he has no ability at all, and he relies on the mirror to be powerful!" ”
If Nan Zhao had said in front of the emperor that the national teacher was incompetent, he would definitely refute it, but now, he didn't dare to refute it.
The national teacher held the Tan Jing for several years and never let him see the dragon inside, Nan Zhao only went in once, and actually took the Tan Long for his own use, the gap can be imagined, but it was pointed out by a little girl like this, it was really embarrassing for Long Yan, and he coughed lightly and replied, "I...... I was deceived by him! ”
"Since the emperor has learned a lesson here, he should understand that those who practice have the right path in their hearts, just like Lu Donglai, if the emperor is a benevolent monarch, and his heart is about the people and the common people in this world, even if the emperor does not confer his official position, he will still take the lead and never complain, if the emperor is a tyrant, no matter whether the emperor crowns him as the prime minister and national teacher or this gold and silver mountain, he must not be made to serve the emperor, and Nanzhao is the same!"
This is the original intention of the Taoist, and she has never forgotten it!
The emperor finally understood, and he felt ashamed, and sighed, "I have been sitting in the court for decades, I only know how to keep desires, and people's hearts are greedy. ”
People who are dedicated to the common people have long looked down on fame and fortune.
He who has the right heart is not an enemy of anyone, but whoever is doing evil is his enemy!
Despite this, the emperor still had to say, "Since you are unwilling to appoint my national teacher, and I don't force it much, I believe that if I become a wise prince from now on, you will be my mentor and friend, and in addition, since you are Yang'er's righteous sister, even Ah Kite also calls you sister, I will touch the light of the two of them today, recognize you as a righteous daughter, and be named Princess Lingshan!" Afraid that Nan Zhao would refuse, he also deliberately emphasized, "This princess's name is just a good name, and you will follow Yang'er in the future, and it will be more justifiable!" ”
Nan Zhao thinks about it, and he has a false name, it doesn't matter, he immediately thank the lord Longen!
After that, the will to make her a princess was then sent to the Guogong Mansion, and when Nanzhao went back, everyone in the Guogong Mansion had already listened to the will!
When Zhou Yuan heard that she was back, she came over with two maidservants.
"Sister Zhao! Sister Zhao! But my sister wants to kill you! "Zhou Yuan was taken back to Longxi Mansion before the accident in Guogong Mansion, and today I made a special trip to visit her and Zhou Yang.
"The princess seems to have grown taller!" Nan Zhao said with a smile.
The other party immediately spun around and said uncertainly, "Really?" Hey, don't call me a princess in the future, you have been named a princess by my father, a princess with a proper title, even I don't have a princess, in the future, you still call me a kite! Hee-hee! ”
Nan Zhao asked casually, "What about Brother Jiu?" ”
Zhou Yuan replied, "Brother Jiu, after receiving your decree to be the princess, he will sit alone in the study." ”
She happened to have something to say to Zhou Yang, so she separated from Zhou Yuan and went to Zhou Yang's study.
knocked on the door, and the owner's gentle voice came from inside, "This king wants to stay alone for a while, when is it, report later!" ”
Nan Zhao was stunned for a moment, Brother Jiu must have thought that she was looking for a tiger, after these people were released from the prison, they either broke their arms or legs, and they were also running around the house in a plaster, only to see her come in, Xunhu left by himself!
Brother Jiu had something on her mind, she didn't want to disturb Brother Jiu, so she sat under the stairs outside the door and waited.
It's getting late, but it's okay to delay for a while.
Zhou Yang sat alone in the study for a long time, and the full moon hung high, before he opened the door and came out of it, and saw a thin figure sitting outside.
"Nanzhao? When did you come, and why didn't you come in? ”
After speaking, he realized that someone had just knocked on the door, and it had always been her!
Nan Zhao stood up, patted the ashes on his body, and asked with concern, "Brother Jiu and the emperor have untied the knot between father and son for many years, why are they still depressed?" ”
Zhou Yang didn't want to show his emotions, but when she asked, he immediately squeezed out a smile and replied, "Brother Jiu is very happy, where is there depression, Nanzhao, you think too much!" ”
Of course she didn't believe it, "If you think about it too much, then why would Brother Jiu sit alone in the study for so long and do nothing?" ”
How can a happy person react like this?
Zhou Yang blinked, his curly eyelashes were not very good at lying, and he sighed lightly and said, "Grandpa fell into the Zhou River that day, and was later rescued by his subordinates, and it is no big deal, but he is old after all, and Brother Jiu is a little worried." ”
"Brother Jiu doesn't have to worry too much, Lu Donglai has already helped Grandpa Guo, and his old man will recover soon!"
He nodded, and then asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"There is a matter that the emperor explained! The prince plotted to rebel and kill the king, and the emperor has issued an order to give him poisonous wine to apologize, this errand was handed over to the ninth brother, I am here to pass on the decree! ”
When Zhou Yang heard that this was the case, he thought about it and replied, "Okay, I should have a meeting with him!" ”
The poisonous wine given by the emperor was held by another father-in-law Qian who sent Nanzhao back, and he was waiting outside the mansion at the moment, and the hour was already delayed, so they didn't wait long, and soon came out and took a carriage to Yunzhou Heavenly Prison.
Not long ago, Zhou Yang was also imprisoned here, this world is really impermanent, it has only been a few days, and the people who are now locked up have changed positions.
Zhou Zheng and Li Ji were kept in different cells, because the heavenly prison was more important than the prisoners held in ordinary cells, so the guards were very strict, and there were ten jailers in a dimly lit corridor.
Zhou Zheng has been imprisoned for two days, and on the day he was imprisoned, he went crazy and talked nonsense; Sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.
When they arrived, the former crown prince was kneeling on the ground and begging, "Father, the son is wrong, the son really knows that he is wrong, father, you forgive the son this time......"
When he raised his eyes, he saw a noble man in brocade standing outside the cell, and there was a beautiful young woman standing beside him.
Zhou Yang had no emotion on his face, he didn't like it, and replied lightly, "It's me, big brother!" ”
