181: It's bad or good
No one has ever dared to speak so unscrupulously in front Chinese of Emperor Yan, let alone ask for conditions!
Emperor Yan said with a stunned face on the spot
"What qualifications do you have?" Nan Zhao replied without changing his face
"With the power of the little girl, the emperor wants it!"
"You ......" If she hadn't really seen her ability, and replaced someone else, she would have landed on the ground with the head of a disrespectful person!
Or is the national teacher a smart man, he advised
"Your Majesty, you can achieve the emperor's long-standing wish immediately, and listen to the conditions she talks about, it's not impossible!" Although the emperor listens to the words of the national teacher, he is not really incompetent, it is precisely because of the cunning and the deep city that he can choose the side of the endless son!
He thought about it carefully before reluctantly agreeing
"Then tell me about it!" Nan Zhao said clearly
"I ask the emperor to issue a secret decree!" After Emperor Yan heard this, he pricked up his ears,
"Oh?" Nan Zhao bowed and whispered something in the emperor's ear!
"Bold!" After Emperor Yan heard this, he was so angry that he was furious on the spot, and even the Wuyazi next to him was shocked!
"Humph! You think that you have a spirit flower in the palm of your hand, and you can point fingers at my country, but you can't help but think too highly of yourself! Nan Zhao should have seen the emperor angry and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but she had no fear on her face and emphasized
"The little girl's request is actually for the emperor's sake, your emperor, think about it, if you are immortal, who is the person who you don't want to see this scene the most?" Naturally, it is Li Zheng, who has been named the crown prince and will succeed him one day!
She reminded
"You are on guard against your own son, so what about him, is he really unreserved for you? I'm not afraid to tell the emperor that the prince's fate is doomed, he is ruthless, it is true that the six relatives do not recognize it, I believe that the things he did in Tiandu are angry with people and gods, the emperor should be clear! In his harem, the concubine who slept beside him every day didn't dare to say to him such words to provoke the friendship between father and son, but Nan Zhao came with his mouth open, without any shy away, Emperor Yan was so angry with her that he wanted to call someone to come in and take her on the spot, but Wu Yazi stopped him from saying it
"Your Majesty, since it is a secret decree, it must be conditional before it can become a reality, and it can be regarded as a guarantee, in fact, it ......" Nan Zhao just said the content of the secret decree whispered in his ear, and Wu Yazi also guessed a few points!
Emperor Yan held back his anger and turned his head to ask him
"Could it be that the national teacher knows what kind of secret purpose she is talking about?" Wu Yazi replied
"I heard that she and the king of Tai'an are brothers and sisters, in Yunzhou Yongle Fang, the king of Tai'an almost died in order to save her, just here, the king of Tai'an is also not afraid of offending the emperor in order to protect her, presumably she is the same for the king of Tai'an, since she is willing to take the initiative to sacrifice the mirror, of course she will ask for a shelter for the people she cares about! Therefore, Wu Yazi guessed that the secret of the emperor of Nanzhao was for the king of Tai'an; can make the emperor angry, presumably, it is related to the succession to the throne, I don't know, Wu Yazi guessed right? Emperor Yan nodded, sure enough, his national teacher was extremely smart, and he guessed that the score was not bad!
Wu Yazi had a number in his heart, so he said to the emperor
"Sacrifice the mirror, need to be after Bodhi, because at that time, the Bodhi Pagoda has the light of relics, the mirror can get the spirit flower and the relics complement each other, and Wuyazi also has enough time to deal with the envoys of the world, among them, the emperor can prepare this secret decree, and give it to her secretly before her sacrifice, the content of the secret decree can be according to her requirements, if the emperor dies due to the rebellion of the prince Zhou Zheng, then the throne and the king of Tai'an Zhou Yang! If the emperor is born naturally, old age, sickness and death, it will be passed on to the crown prince Zhou Zheng! And the existence of this secret decree still needs to find a time to let the prince know, so that the prince will know that even if he does something rebellious, he will not be able to ascend the throne, so he will only keep to himself, at that time, because the emperor is immortal, although he has no chance to take the throne, but he will die under one person and above ten thousand people, His Royal Highness the Prince! And Zhou Yang, the king of Tai'an, wants to ascend the throne as the emperor, and he must be the prince to rebel, so they restrain each other! The emperor is the biggest winner! "This is why Nan Zhao said that it was for the sake of Emperor Yan.
Now listening to Wuyazi's analysis, Emperor Yan also thinks it is very good, a secret decree can protect his throne from being remembered by the prince under his knees and doing rebellious things, even if they fight at that time, he has Tan Jing and the national teacher Wuyanzi, and Zhou Yang At that time, there was no spirit girl Nanzhao by his side!
In this way, after Nan Zhao's death, he not only wants to be good to Zhou Yang, but also protects Zhou Yang from being harmed by the prince, so Nan Zhao wants this secret decree, which seems to be for Zhou Yang, but the most important thing is that after her death, Zhou Yang can be blessed by the emperor from now on!
Suddenly, he felt that this woman was indeed affectionate, and he sighed
"Yang'er is lucky to have your sister-in-law!"
"So, did the emperor agree?" Nan Zhao asked.
"On that day, I will prepare the secret decree you want, and you will go back with Yang'er today!" The emperor shook his hand and said no more.
When Nan Zhao was about to go out, Wu Yazi suddenly stopped her again.
"His Royal Highness the King of Tai'an is very concerned, I'm afraid that he will oppose you doing this, after you get out of here, you should know what to do, right?" She nodded in response
"Don't bother with the national teacher!" With that, she opened the door and went out of the room. Zhou Yang, who was guarding outside the door, saw that she came out safe and sound, and immediately stepped up to ask
"What's wrong?" She smiled and replied with a relaxed look
"It's all right!"
"Are you alright?" The other party naturally didn't believe it, he knew the emperor and the national teacher too well, only what they didn't want to abandon, once they wanted, it was impossible to stop like this.
Nan Zhao looked at the other people standing in the distance, and didn't want to say more here, proposing
"Brother Jiu, let's go back first, shall we?" Zhou Yang didn't want to stay here, so the two of them came out of Longxi Mansion, outside the mansion, and the carriage to send them back was ready!
After getting into the carriage, there were only two of them, and he continued to ask
"My father wants you to sacrifice that demon mirror, how can you agree? What did you say to your father and the national teacher alone, how could my father let you and me go? Compared with Zhou Yang's anxious appearance, she was always indifferent, as if she was thinking about something, but as if she didn't think about anything.
"Does Brother Jiu believe me?" She looked at him with a deep glint in her eyes. The other party did not pause to answer
"Of course Brother Jiu believes in you! But tell me, what happened? ”
"Since Brother Nine believes in me, let's wait, and when the time comes, Brother Nine will naturally know!" When Zhou Yang heard this, he had already confirmed that she was not going to say it tonight, but he still refused to give up and asked again
"When is the time?"
"After Bodhi tomorrow!" He nodded, no longer insisting on her telling immediately, anyway, it was only a day, he could wait.
The road traveled by the carriage did not have twists and turns, and when he arrived at the Guogong Mansion, Sima Feng had not yet fallen asleep, and he was immediately relieved to see that both of them had returned.
Knowing that the two of them must have a lot to say, Nan Zhao didn't bother, and after saying goodbye, he went straight to the courtyard where he lived.
In the night sky, there was only a lone star hanging in the sky, she walked outside the room, saw that there was still a candle light inside, gently pushed the door open, and saw Shen Rugu sitting at the table, holding her chin in one hand and taking a nap.
Nan Zhao stood by the door and saw him like this, a warmth welled up in his heart, and he walked over lightly, sat down at the other end of the table, supported his chin, and carefully examined his face.
Shen Rugu didn't sleep deeply, so he woke up not long after, opened his eyes and saw Nan Zhao sitting opposite, after two days, he was used to her presence, and he was not frightened, just rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked
"When did you come back?"
"Just now!" Although she went to Longxi Mansion once, met many annoying people, and listened to many ridiculous words, she couldn't help but smile when she saw Shen Rusu's face.
Their lives, from the beginning to the present, have been full of tribulations. She didn't want to be disturbed by mundane things when she was with the people she loved.
Xu has been staring at her fiery gaze, Shen Ru thought that there was something on his face, since he returned to his soul, he was very precious to his face, and subconsciously touched his cheek,
"Is there anything on my face?" She shook her head.
"Then why don't you look away?"
"Because I can't get enough of it!" She said stupidly. Two days ago, Shen Ru must have been angry, but today he seemed a little shy, so he coughed twice and said
"Ahem...... How can a woman talk to her husband like this? Nan Zhao smiled even more, but with a smile and a smile, her smile disappeared, and she said in a daze
"If it was the same as before, you wouldn't say such a thing to me, would you?" In the past, Shen Ru didn't believe in heaven, didn't believe in fate, and didn't talk about this set in the world, he was even more detached like an immortal than a born cultivator like Lu Donglai!
Shen Rusu was also a little at a loss when he saw her like this, he asked
"Why is my former me so different from my original me?"
"Maybe it has gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes!"
"Oh—" he replied, then asked with concern
"Look at your face today...... It's not as red as it was a few days ago, and you haven't told me yet, how can a woman make her face like this? Nan Zhao also subconsciously touched his face and replied
"Because of you!"
"Me?" Shen Ru was puzzled.
"Hmm. I have traveled a long way to bring you back from the underworld, and I have met many things, and my face has been broken. She downplayed the thrills she had experienced.
The other party hurt his face when he heard that it was to save him, but he kept saying that she was ugly two days ago, and he was ashamed!
"I ...... I'm sorry for you! ”
"Do you feel sorry for me too?" She looked at him blankly. Shen Rugu nodded and said to her
"Forget what I said!"
"I've never been to my heart!" She said magnificently. But in fact, who really doesn't care if they are disgusted and ugly by their beloved?
She doesn't go to her heart because she always believes that she can give her life for her as she is, and she will never care about her appearance!
"But even so, I still hurt you, right?" Although he has no memory in the middle, he doesn't seem to have hurt his brain yet, and he is not too stupid.
"yes!" She no longer denied that she could talk to Shen Rugu at this moment, open her heart, she felt that it was a happy thing, she told him
"The person who makes me happiest in this world is you, and the person who makes me the most sad is also you, and all my joys and sorrows are related to you, as ...... as before"
"Oh......" Although he no longer resisted her as much as before, he didn't understand after all how deep the feelings she pinned on him were.
But he could feel that this woman was loving him with all her might.
"As it is!"
"Huh?"
"Can I hug you?" She looked at him like a child, asking an adult for candy. Shen Rugu was stunned for a moment, she really couldn't refuse her pleading gaze, nodded, and stood up from the table.
Nan Zhao walked over, gently embraced him, buried his head in his chest, closed his eyes and listened to his heartbeat.
She hadn't held him like this for a long time, and the warmth of this moment erased the suffering she had suffered to save him!
"If only it could go on like this!" She hadn't closed her eyes for a long time and wanted to hold him, never letting go.
But she was so tired, but she couldn't fall asleep, but Shen Rugu fell asleep in bed, she guarded him for a while, then got up and walked towards the door.
At this moment, there was still some time before dawn, she came to the big locust tree in the courtyard, looked up, and saw Lu Donglai lying on the thick treetops, under the faint light of the night light, he closed his eyes, as if he was asleep!
Nan Zhao said directly
"Little Taoist, do you want to drink a pot on the third watch?"
"Poor people don't drink!" The little Taoist priest still had her eyes closed, and she spoke in a tone that disturbed her dreams.
"This is Grandpa Guo's fine wine, the last pot, hidden for decades, a few rounds older than you, really don't drink it?" She carried the night lamp and placed it on the stone table next to her, plus a pot of fine wine.
Lu Donglai turned over and jumped off the treetops, like flying, sat on the stone bench, and knocked Erlang on the leg,
"Poor Dao doesn't drink, but I don't see you drinking on weekdays, how can I borrow alcohol to kill my sorrows when I am so angry?" Is there any sorrow in your heart?
Nan Zhao poured the wine into the wine bowl, took it up, took a sip, and sighed
"No wonder the king of the earth likes to drink wine so much, it's really a treasure in the world!"
"Treasures of the world?" Lu Donglai looked at her, he had never drunk alcohol, but he had an uncle in Nanxian Mountain, but he never quit drinking, saying that wine was the best in the world, and this uncle had reached a state of drinking, even if he drank water, he was as happy as drinking.
Naturally, he didn't have this kind of realm, so he was also very curious at the moment about what this wine that Nan Zhao called a treasure in the world tasted like.
Nan Zhao saw the eagerness in his eyes, and immediately handed over the wine bowl and persuaded him
"Who said that a Taoist priest who drinks wine is not a good Taoist priest, like you with a pure heart and few desires, even if you drink, it is like drinking water, taste it, I will never tell others!"
"Do you think Poor Dao is afraid that you will tell others?" After Lu Dong finished speaking, he snatched the wine bowl in her hand, took a big sip, and then, his face was red from the spicy taste of the liquor, his eyebrows were deeply frowned, his eyes were closed, and he didn't say anything for a moment.
Nan Zhao had expected this to be the result, and asked with a smile
"How? Lu Daochang, this treasure in the world can enter your eyes? Lu Donglai took a deep breath before swallowing the wine and calling it by his name
"Nanzhao! I won't believe what you say in the future! Master is right, women and villains in this world are the same! ”
"Hahaha!" Nan Zhao smiled happily, but it didn't last long. Because this pot of wine is not just to be used to toss Lu Donglai, she put away the previous joking gesture and said with a bit of seriousness
"Lu Donglai, I was abandoned by my relatives since I was a child, and the master who raised me is no longer my master, I was expelled from the school, and I had nothing so much that I didn't even have any hope of living, so I was blessed by the same old age, so that I was able to collect so many spirits; But in fact, I don't just have the same as before, I also have the ninth brother who values my life and death equally, and the princes and guards who treat me as their own sister, and you ......" Lu Donglai couldn't stand this kind of sensational words the most, so he turned his face away from her and replied casually
"If it weren't for Wen Ye's killing of Zhuang Ziyu, do you think Poor Dao would have something to do with you for a long time?" Nan Zhao knew that he was saying things against his will, when he was in the fairy forest, in order not to hurt her, he was seriously injured by the power of the spirit flower, and he knew that she was doing something that violated the laws of the Three Realms, but he violated his own principles, and when she went down to the world, he helped her to strengthen her soul, but also to help Zhuang Ziyu avenge it?
Naturally not! She picked up the wine bowl in front of her and held it up in front of the other party
"Come, pay tribute to our friends of life and death!" Lu Donglai replied with disgust
"Who is a friend of life and death with you!"
"Come on, don't grind, like a!" Nan Zhao shook the wine in his hand. The little Taoist priest finally couldn't twist her insistence and reluctantly picked up his bowl of wine, touched her bowl lightly, and then took a sip with a bitter face.
Putting down the wine bowl, he always felt that there was something wrong with Nan Zhao tonight, his eyes lit up, he looked over suspiciously, and asked
"The emperor announced that you would go with the king of Tai'an, but because of the matter of the mirror?" Nan Zhao specially called him down to drink, just for this matter.
Such a big matter, the current Shen Ru only cares about shallow things like face, and is not a person to discuss things at all, and her ninth brother is worried about her safety, and he can't even listen to the emperor's words, let alone not, so Lu Donglai is the best candidate!
"Do you know the origin of the Epiphany?" Sure enough, as soon as he talked about these things, Lu Donglai immediately had the demeanor of a Taoist priest, straightened his back, and preached with a serious face
"Tan Jing Poor Dao doesn't know, but Poor Dao once read the "Spirit Beast Treasure Book" and mentioned that among the four spirit beasts, there is a spirit beast name, with a dragon head and snake body, if anyone gets it, they can achieve a wish for it! When I first looked at this spirit beast, I thought that it could satisfy people's wishes, and it should be a beneficial beast, but in the second half of the book, it was written that the wishes it achieved were just short-lived, so it was called Tan! After speaking, he asked Nan Zhao
"There are no other details recorded in the treasure book, but as soon as I heard about the Tan mirror, Poor Dao remembered this spirit beast named Tan!" Nan Zhao nodded,
"Dragon's head snake body! It's already right, when I was expelling that yin and evil qi for Brother Jiu, I saw the phantom of that spirit beast, which was the body of the dragon head snake! ”
"So, what lives in the mirror is indeed the spirit beast called Tan!" Lu Donglai looked a little excited, he didn't expect that when he went down the mountain, he had met all ghosts and immortals and Shengtian, and now there was a spirit beast, which simply opened the door to demons and evil in ancient times!
But soon he got back to business and asked
"Tan is a spirit beast, the Tao can not be measured by the thousands of years of ordinary demon practice, Xu when no one is around, it already exists in the world, the mirror it attaches at the moment, presumably it is its place, Wu Yazi holds the Tan mirror for Emperor Yan to solve his doubts, King Tai'an has just been rescued, tonight is over, I'm afraid it's your idea, right?" In this world, the weak eat the strong, where is there a spiritual thing that does not covet the power of spiritual flowers.
He wondered why Nan Zhao could still come back from Longxi Mansion unharmed. Nan Zhao told the truth
"Emperor Yan wants to use me to sacrifice the Tan Mirror to exchange him for an immortal body!" When Lu Donglai heard this, his face changed,
"Hmph, immortality? How many tribulations do cultivators have to go through to overcome the tribulations before they can cultivate immortal arts, but these emperors of the yang world are delusional to eat a pill of immortal pills and easily live forever, which is really stupid and ridiculous! Emphasized
"You said that the promise of Tan to people mentioned in the "Spirit Beast Treasure Book" is just a flash in the pan, just like it promised to cure Emperor Yan's head disease, but it was only temporary, because in this way, in order to get the power of the spirit flower, he even promised Emperor Yan that he could give him immortality, I suspect that it was a lie to deceive Emperor Yan!"
"Is it a lie, Emperor Yan doesn't listen to you and me, and he has to wait until he really sacrifices the power of the spirit flower, and he won't know the truth until he is born, old, sick and dies!" He asked her directly
"What agreement did you make with Emperor Yan?" Sure enough, this little Taoist priest was smart, and she didn't say anything, so he guessed it!
Nan Zhao didn't hide it from him, and told him directly
"I agreed, and volunteered to sacrifice Tan Jing!"
"Are you crazy?" Lu Donglai jumped up from the stone bench.
"I'm not crazy!" She said confidently
"He is the emperor, my ninth brother's father, how much he has to give some face!"
"Little Spirit Maiden!" Lu Donglai said angrily
"Are you doing this with your own life? Your Shen Gongzi looks like that at the moment, how can you be willing to abandon her to sacrifice? ”
"Poof-" Nanzhao covered his mouth and smiled
"Little Taoist! Don't be so serious, okay? My life is given as it is, I naturally cherish it more than anyone else, I mean that the resources are sacrificed, but I didn't say that I want to die! ”
"Immortal, are you going to kill that spirit beast?" After Lu Dong finished speaking, his expression paused, and he looked over in surprise and confirmed
"Are you really going to kill spirit beasts?"
"Shhhh Lu Donglai directly thought she was crazy, he said
"Spirit beasts are not ordinary demons, they may not be able to hold it even if they are really immortals, you are simply whimsical!" She admitted
"Yes, I also know that it is whimsical, but little Taoist, Emperor Yan is bound to get the power of my spiritual flower, if I don't obey, Brother Jiu will not obey the emperor's orders for me, this time, he will be infamous for rebellion, and he will be shamed by the world!" From a long time ago, she felt that her ninth brother was going to be an emperor in the future, and she couldn't cut off his emperor road because of this, so she had to take a risk.
After saying what she said in her heart, she calmly said to Lu Dong
"Emperor Yan is the Ninth Five, and the Ninth Brother is also extraordinary, the life of people like them, ordinary warlocks can't see it, it's a heavenly machine, and I won't snoop; Tomorrow is Bodhi, and all the Xuanmen people from all over the world will go, and that is also the time of the sacrifice I agreed with Emperor Yan, Lu Donglai! You help divination and see if it's evil or lucky! "Cat flutter Chinese
