Chapter 194: On the Withered Tree (I)
"Sister, you're tired, rest for a while with Min'er!" Min'er said when she saw Liu Mapo's face with tiredness.
"I'm a little tired, and the carriage is so jolty that I'm a little sleepy. Liu Mapo closed her eyes slightly and slowly leaned on Min'er's shoulder.
"That'...... Let the scorpion drive steadily!" Min'er was about to shout, but was stopped by Liu Mapo.
"Min'er, no need, so be it. You're tired too, squint for a while!"
"Min'er is not tired!"
"Alas...... Although I am tired, this old bone can't sleep! The bumpy bones are uncomfortable!" Liu Mapo sighed.
"Sister, lie down and lean on my lap! Min'er leaned over to shout.
"Don't, go back as soon as possible!" Liu Ma Po stopped, leaning on Min'er's thigh.
Min'er adjusted her posture, looked down at Liu Mapo and said, "Sister, do you think the Supreme will know about our deal with the Dead Tree Monarch?"
"What if you know?" Liu Mapo still closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath and continued, "That withered tree king is an honest and trustworthy person, even if he dies, he will keep the secret, because he has to die if he leaks the secret, and the death after the leak will be wiped out, and he will not be able to live forever." ”
Min'er was puzzled, although she was puzzled, she nodded frequently.
"Hehe......" Liu Mapo opened her eyelids slightly and saw Min'er's puzzled eyes, her face was full of doubts, and she nodded frequently, amused.
"What is my sister laughing at?"
"Min'er, if you want to know, just ask directly. We've been together for so long, you watch...... Hehe...... Funny!"
"I don't want to disturb my sister's rest! Seriously, I've been with my sister for so long, so I naturally understand my sister, and when my sister should say, I don't need to ask, my sister will tell Min'er. Min'er replied.
"I don't say it, it's to protect you. Liu Mapo's expression was solemn.
"My sister's kindness to me, Min'er will never forget!" Min'er understood Liu Mapo's good intentions.
I have stayed in the deep palace, so I naturally understand this simple truth, the more people who know the secret, the more powerful the backstage is, and they will go to see Hades early.
"You and I depend on each other, so don't talk about this. In fact, the withered tree king is the embodiment of honesty, and he is the aura of all the honest and trustworthy people in the human race. Of course, before the transfiguration, no one knew what he really was. There was a hint of curiosity in Liu Mapo's eyes, but she had no way of knowing the answer.
"I see. That sister, how did you know him?" Min'er began to ask, satisfying her inner curiosity.
Min'er knew that Liu Mapo also intended to let her know.
"I learned secretly from the Supreme. ”
Min'er is talkative. ”
"Although the inner courtyard of the Imperial City is extremely gorgeous and everyone yearns for it, it is indeed the most dangerous place. ”
"Min'er naturally knows. ”
"Now my sister has made such a high position, but ...... The danger never diminished, and if I hadn't sent her some money, she might have ...... Not to mention, they are all people who have half a foot in the coffin...... What's the use of saying this, I just hope that I can get my wish in the future. Min'er, help me up. ”
Min'er helped Liu Mapo up, adjusted her posture and sat down, and sighed deeply.
"It's okay to tell you, don't look at the withered tree king living in Fengshaling, he is very important to the imperial city. The border of the imperial city, thanks to his protection, has been exchanged for peace over the years! The Central Plains is full of devastation, and the scenery on the surface has long been chaotic. Liu Mapo said and closed her eyes slightly.
"I don't have to say anything about his skills. The children he trained were all outstanding and impeccable!" Min'er naturally understood the power of the withered tree-kun.
Liu Ma Po nodded and said, "He will only choose the right one, and he sent hundreds of children in, and only a few came out in the end, and the rest either died during training or were thrown into the desert by the Dead Tree King." These outstanding, impeccable children can be said to be the elite of the hundred. Although the withered tree is hundreds of years old, he is still meticulous in his work, seeking the ultimate, no matter who he trades with, he must not conflict with the existing transaction, and returns the interests of the existing partners. ”
Min'er listened and nodded.
"The Dead Tree King is the one who the Supreme has invited to guard the border with pearls. More than a hundred years ago, the Qilin led the demon army from the pass town to attack the Central Plains, using the power of the demon clan to kill in the Central Plains, that battle, after more than 50 years, in the end, the heavenly court could not stand it, sent troops to help, the two armies were deadlocked for nearly ten years, and finally drove the dark forces out of the Central Plains, and the Qilin was also injured and fled. Coincidentally, the Qilin happened to be rescued by a woman surnamed Duan, and when the Qilin learned that the entire village was surnamed Duan, he thought of the pain of losing his heart scale armor, so he destroyed the entire village when the injury grew. The unicorn rolled back to the cave to cultivate, and the human race welcomed a peaceful life for nearly twenty years. Later, it was rumored that in order to destroy the Qilin, it must be the descendants of the Duan family who hold the Qilin Sword...... But now the Duan family has been wiped out, alas...... Kirin ......" Liu Mapo said and came to the spirit.
"Before entering the palace, I heard that the old lady said about the unicorn, I heard that the unicorn is an ancient beast, is the mount of Shennong, Shennong sacrificed his precious life for the human race, since then, the unicorn has changed greatly, and believes that the death of the master is the so-called of the human race, and has repeatedly used the fire of the unicorn to disturb the people, so everyone is afraid. Wherever the unicorn went, not a single grass grew. The Supreme was very helpless, but he couldn't resolve it...... This lasted for hundreds of years, and during those hundreds of years, the people lived in deep fire and water, for fear that the unicorn would suddenly appear and everything in front of them would instantly turn to ashes. Min'er sighed after speaking.
"You're right, before I entered the palace, I also heard that the anger of the unicorn gave the demons an opportunity to take advantage of, so they went to incite the anger of the unicorn, and gradually, the unicorn became a cover for the demons to step into the Central Plains. The previous Supreme spent a lifetime resisting the Qilin and the Demon Clan, and then died violently, and then succeeded by the current Supreme, ushering in the peaceful life of more than 20 years, these are all from Jiang Jue. Liu Mapo said and turned her head to look at the window, with a lot of thoughts, as if everything was yesterday.
The pain is too deep, even if it is deep, I dare not remember it.
"I'm sorry, sister, if it weren't for me...... Jiang Jue's son will not vomit blood and die. Min'er lowered her head in shame.
"You don't have to blame yourself, he's not dead. ”
"That ......"
"That's what he owes me. Liu Mapo raised her voice to interrupt Min'er's words.
There was a hint of resistance in her eyes, and the word "Jiang Jue" was the biggest pain in her life.
Min'er heard the resistance and hatred in Liu Mapo's voice.
"Sister, it's all over. Min'er held Liu Mapo's hand tightly.
Min'er didn't know everything about Liu Mapo before she entered the palace, and Jiang Jue only had one side.
Liu Mapo slowly shifted her gaze to Min'er's face, and a momentary smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Sister, how could the Supreme know that Dead Tree King?" Min'er pulled back to the point.
"I once went to the palace to find Han Shixing Han, and he was also very curious at this time, so he looked through all the records in the palace, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally saw that the withered tree king was self-recommended. At that time, the Supreme was hesitant and worried, and the withered tree monarch recommended himself to solve the Supreme's worries. ”
Liu Mapo said, as if she had returned to that time.
Twenty years ago, inside the Imperial City Palace.
The thirty-year-old Supreme, sitting on the dragon chair symbolizing power, looked worried, got up in annoyance, paced back and forth, and there were five or six ministers who gave advice to the Supreme in the audience, one of whom was Hua Shiling.
"Although we united with Heavenly Court to drive the demon clan out of the Central Plains Kingdom, this does not mean that it will be peaceful in the future, who can guarantee that the demon clan will not invade after recuperating and recuperating? Now that the Qilin is seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown, you ...... Think about it then......"
Hua Shiling stepped forward and said, "Supreme, instead of being in a hurry here, it is better to post the emperor list and always find a suitable way." ”
The Supreme raised his head, took a deep breath, and replied, "You are not wrong, just do it." ”
This is the end of this chapter, and the next chapter continues.
