49 · Sharp Downturn (Upper)
[Her voice is so soft that everyone has to hold their breath to hear her.] 】
The rain stopped, and the light of the autumn sun had not yet set, and the thick fog quickly enveloped Wudang Mountain.
This high mountain spans thousands of years, and each outline exudes a unique majesty and charm, and it is majestic like an immortal god, standing up to the sky and the earth, as if telling the long history of mankind.
The fog does not dissolve.
Zhang Shenghan stood on the top of the mountain, and suddenly had the urge to jump down, he had never experienced the feeling of being crushed, and if he did, he would not be able to stand here again.
The massive silhouette of the sun spread out in the song of the egret, and a circle of light shrouded his body along the mist.
"Master!"
This peace was soon shattered.
Zhang Shenghan turned around in a little surprise.
He was familiar with all the sounds and breaths of the Dharma Protector, and it was hard to think of what had happened to make Xue Rong's Dharma Protector so cramped.
"What?"
"I found out the truth about Liu Xingjue's disappearance!" he wished to relay Xi Que Yi's words to Zhang Shenghan in an instant, "There is a rare herb in the Ancient Mirror Gate, called Gu Dao Fei Xin. ”
Zhang Shenghan sighed. He knows.
"The Ancient Dao Fei Heart is refined by martial artists. ”
"What do you mean?" he froze.
"It's the herbs that are refined by people, and it can continuously provide vitality. ”
"Liu Xingjue knows the refining method?" Zhang Shenghan was very clever and immediately understood.
"That's it, boss, we must find them quickly. Xue Rong said, "If the exterminator masters this method, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"I see. ”
Zhang Shenghan turned around, and the cliff stood high. Standing here for more than three years, he felt as if he was one with nature, every mist, every stone, every inch of vines...... Everything became his closest friend. He slowly grasped the moist air, and uneasiness swept through his body.
He was a man who lacked goals, but the news brought by Xue Rong inspired his fighting spirit.
In the past, he had no interest in the Destroyer, but now, he desperately wanted to know what the truth was behind all this.
He turned around and called Xue Rong to go down the mountain immediately.
Gotta find Rose quickly and tell him to shut up!

Shenghe Palace, the largest imperial palace in the capital, is located on the central axis of the entire capital, the sundial placed on the wide Dan Majesty points the time to the hour, and the civil and military officials stand outside the palace, waiting for the little emperor to be in the early dynasty.
The yellow robe slowly floated out from behind the throne, and two maids walked in with dragon barrier fans.
The little emperor, who was only thirteen years old, was completely unworthy of the authority of the yellow robe, and his eyes slid uneasily, looking for familiar faces among the ministers, and soon, he saw his teacher, but the teacher ignored the expectant gaze.
The little emperor sat on the throne in style, gesturing to let the civil and military officials go to court.
Hundreds of ministers respectfully walked into the palace, bowed and shouted long live.
After the little emperor gave the order, they slowly straightened up and looked down at the steps in front of the throne.
"Something to start, nothing to retreat. The eunuch shouted.
"Your Majesty. A military attache stepped forward.
The little emperor nodded.
"The flooding of the Yellow River has been curbed, and in the opinion of the ministers, soldiers in remote areas can be sent back first. ”
The ministers had no objections.
"As you wish. The little emperor nodded thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty. Another civil servant stepped forward.
The little emperor nodded.
The civil official stood up and said something, but the little emperor didn't understand, he just talked to the minister as if he didn't understand, and said that he and his subordinates would discuss it on their own.
Many officials stood up, everyone no longer paid attention to the little emperor, and the little emperor did not say meaningful words, and the early dynasty became a place for ministers to chat.
Xu Siyou frowned, counting the time agreed with the killer in his heart.
Incompetence is not a sin, but the emperor cannot be incompetent. There is no shortage of emperors who ascended the throne at a young age in the past dynasties, and they have seniority and noble character princes and princes, and now the little emperor is different - after the death of the emperor, the entire Western Dynasty is in danger, and hundreds of officials and ministers have various plots, who would hope that the little emperor has the ability?
The key to resolving the chaos lies in the little emperor himself.
Xu Siyou watched coldly. In this struggle for imperial power, his comrades-in-arms were very few, and once they made a mistake, they would never recover.
Suddenly, the entire palace fell into an ice cellar.
"Princess-sama—"
Dressed more imposing and solemn than the little emperor, Princess Tilting Lotus walked in from the outside, she strutted high, and her small head was raised, which immediately overwhelmed the civil and military officials.
The ministers knelt again, this time no longer facing the throne, but on the ground, slowly moving their bodies in the steps of the princess.
Like ignorant ants.
Xu Siyou knelt on the ground, staring at the polished granite floor reflecting the princess's appearance.
He gasped slightly.
Princess Tilting Lotus has a unique suppressive power, he rarely even looks at the princess, as if he only needs to look at her and disappear himself.
If a drop of water falls into the sea, he will disappear without a trace.
Princess Tilting was not like this before, when she was a child, she was innocent and cute, and was deeply loved by the officials, the emperor and the queen mother. The whole palace was full of laughter and laughter of her and her maids, and the spring flowers were blooming and the sun was shining.
The change began when she returned from the North......
The princess walked to the throne and looked at the little emperor condescendingly.
"Get up. ”
Her voice was so soft that everyone had to hold their breath to hear her.
The little emperor jumped from his throne as if he had stepped on a spring.
"Today, the Son of Heaven is in poor health, and he is alone in charge of the government for the Son of Heaven. Princess Tilting said as usual.
The hundred officials who fell on the ground shouted long live, their voices seemed to reflect the decline of this dynasty, and bursts of weak cries surrounded the golden pillars, and the carved golden dragons on them hung their heads and lamented.
"Flat. ”
It wasn't until she said this that the minister moved, and before that, the oldest and oldest minister had to honestly fall to the ground.
When Xu Siyou raised his head again, the little emperor had already quietly left the main hall.
He smiled bitterly inwardly.
Many ministers who don't know the times think that as long as Princess Tilting Lotus is overthrown, the Western Dynasty will return to normal, but they are wrong, they are wrong, the sorrow of the Western Dynasty lies in the blood rule that cannot be abandoned, even if the princess is killed, as long as the little emperor does not fall, there will always be someone to support the new regent, if you want to completely change the situation, you have to start with the little emperor himself.
As soon as the little emperor dies, the entire imperial bloodline with him at the core will fall, and at that time, Xu Zhongheng, the cousin of the first emperor, who was sent to the frontier three years ago due to a failed political struggle, will be able to make a comeback.
Xu Siyou didn't blame him, because at that time, the enemy's city government was deeper and more sophisticated, and even he couldn't help it.
But now, the opportunity has come.
Xu Siyou found clues - the guy who supported the princess to listen to the government back then has a dislike with the princess, and their break is the opportunity for the royal brother.
Xu Siyou is willing to be crushed to pieces, and he also wants to help Xu Zhongheng regain the throne.
That's the future of Onishi!
Xu Siyou saw the declining figure of the little emperor gradually disappearing into the magnificent palace, and his throat couldn't help but sour.
There was no fault on this child, and the blood that flowed in his body was the original sin.
