Chapter Thirty-Eight

In the palace of the Han Kingdom, Xiao Suzi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's not good." Lord An Daoqi, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Lord Shui Ruohan, the Qing of Dali Temple, jointly signed a letter, urgent documents, and were waiting for the decree outside the Taihe Hall to listen to the announcement. ”

Xiaoyaozi put down the pen that was reading the folds, got up and asked, "Xuan!"

After a while, An Daoqi and Shui Ruohan hurried over, knelt down and said while handing over the folds: "Your Majesty, the Beiping Inn in the capital has recently found countless dried corpses with withered faces, I am afraid that there are demons to do it, and I hope that the emperor will send the imperial guards of the imperial city to guard it, just in case!"

"Aiqing, Lord An, why are you so nervous?" Xiaoyaozi smiled faintly.

"Emperor Qi, Jincheng General Liu Huangtian and his entourage are staying in the Beiping Inn waiting to see the driver, Weichen thinks that the dry corpse incident may be related to him, maybe his entourage has demons, it is not impossible. Andolphi replied nervously, pulling at the sleeves of his wet coat.

"Your Majesty, what Lord An said is very true! Weichen also thinks that Emperor Liu is not good, should you ...... tomorrow's reception?" Shui Ruohan said, looking at An Daoqi and Xiaoyaozi on the other.

"Do you want anything?!" Xiaoyaozi said sternly, "How many people did General Liu bring with him to Beijing this time?"

"Emperor Qiqi, according to the intelligence of Gonggong Cao of Dongchang, Liu Huangtian brought military Wu Wendian, the first guard Ghost Dao Ichiro and several cooks and singing and dancing prostitutes on this trip, a total of eighteen people. Anducci replied.

"Aiqing, look at you! They have brought more than a dozen people, do you need to be nervous like this? If he brings tens of thousands of soldiers and horses one day, do you want to cry and wipe your tears to start playing?" Xiaoyaozi pointed at An Daoqi with a fold and fell, "Don't be suspicious, cup bow snake shadow! He came over this time, at most to explore the truth and reality, do you think he will be stupid to go to the meeting alone?"

"What does the emperor mean?" Shui Ruohan asked in a low voice.

"Don't make a fuss, what kind of corpse incident is just a few goblins, find a few charlatans to accompany you to investigate. By the way, Xiao Suzi, you will go over and inform Princess Jian'an to wear formal clothes tomorrow, and the morning court will come with me to meet Liu Huangtian. Xiaoyaozi smiled.

"The emperor is wise!Wechen understands!Wechen retires!" An Daoqi and Shui Ruohan said, and saluted and prepared to retreat.

"Wait!" Xiaoyaozi suddenly stopped them, "Lord An, it seems that the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is still vacant, right?"

"Emperor Qiqi, the previous waiter of the Ministry of Rites was Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's person, and he died in Huangquan with Prime Minister Zhang that time, and his position has been vacant!" An Daoqi replied.

"Well, Gao Pengfei, the eldest son of the Songshan faction, has arrived in the capital and lives in the Beijing branch of the Songshan faction, and I have ordered him to enter the palace the day after tomorrow to see the third princess, Princess Yongle. I have asked Xiao Suzi to draft a holy decree and canonize him as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and you can take this holy decree to the Songshan Sect Beijing Branch to canonize him!"

"Obey the order, Your Majesty! Weichen will do it!" An Daoqi took the holy decree and retreated with Shui Ruohan.

"Your Majesty, the two adults really have a heart. You weren't worried at all about the dry corpse incident they said?" Xiao Suzi smiled suspiciously.

"Hehe, there's nothing to worry about, everything is under my control. Xiaoyaozi smiled.

The next morning, Jincheng general Liu Huangtian brought the military Wu Wendian and the first guard Ghost Dao Ichiro to follow the civil and military officials to worship the emperor, Liu Huangtian smiled and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Today, I specially dedicate three treasures of my Western Regions to Your Majesty: one is the Jincheng Shenma - sweat and blood BMW, the second is Xinjiang Hetian jade - a one-meter-high jade carving of the Eight Immortals He Shou, and the third is a thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus, hoping that Your Majesty will live a long life and live a long life!" Shui Ruohan and the three of them were silent.

"Okay! I am very happy! The general has a heart! Someone is coming, give a seat to the general!"

Xiao Suzi motioned to the two eunuchs to move a chair and put it beside Princess Jian'an, "Thank you Emperor Longen!" Liu Huangtian sat down after thanking him, looked at Princess Jian'an who was standing beside him with a graceful figure, clear eyebrows, and big eyes, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Princess, what a talent, very much like an old man in my northwest side." ”

"Like whom?" Princess Jian'an glanced down at Liu Huangtian curiously.

"Wang Zhaojun. Liu Huangtian said with a smile.

"I've heard of this person. Princess Jian'an replied lightly.

Xiaoyaozi looked at Liu Huangtian and Princess Jian'an, secretly happy in his heart, quietly put the two together and looked at them, smiled and whispered to Xiao Suzi beside him: "Xiao Suzi, do you think they have a husband and wife?"

"A little. Xiao Suzi replied.

"Done. Xiaoyaozi smiled.

"Today I have a great happy event to announce, I will marry the princess Jian'an of the Han Kingdom to Liu Huangtian, the general of Jincheng, and confer General Liu Huangtian with the title of Shenwei Anxi general, and reward Xijing and Tianfu as fiefs!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long Grace, Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Emperor Liu looked at Xiaoyaozi and Princess Jian'an, overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Princess Jian'an to kneel down and thank him.

"Hurry up, please get up! We will all be a family in the future, so we don't have to be too formal!" Xiaoyaozi personally came over to help Liu Huangtian up, smiled and took him and Princess Jian'an's hands, and asked him to hold Princess Jian'an's hand.

Seeing this, the ministers cheered, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" Bao Zhengming, An Daoqi, and Shui Ruohan looked at each other, confused, so they had to smile reluctantly.

After retreating from the court, returning to the dormitory, Xiao Suzi couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked, "Your Majesty, are you really giving a marriage." The two states of Xijing and Tianfu combined, which are about the same size as the northwest territory of Liu Huangtian, are you not afraid of fattening this hungry wolf, which naΓ―ve thing is a confrontation?"

"Xiao Suzi, he Liu Huangtian is also a member of the Liu family, the same ancestry, one is to marry and form an alliance, and the other is to delay the army; Xijing and Tianfu want to weaken and disperse half of his troops, even if he really wants to rebel under Houde, I will easily divide and attack him, and break them individually. Moreover, the chaos of the exiles in Tianfu is rampant, with Li Zicheng being the worst, so let him clean up the mess, and I can also use my strength to fight and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and sit on the mountain to reap the profits. Xiaoyaozi took a sip of tea and smiled.

"The emperor has seen it! Xiao Suzi has been taught!" Xiao Suzi gave a thumbs up.

"Close the door and stand down. I want to take a break. Xiaoyaozi sat on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Okay, Your Majesty! Xiao Suzi closed the door and went out, Xiaoyaozi took a nap and gradually fell asleep.

Xiaoyaozi, who was asleep, heard someone calling his name in a hazy way: "Your Majesty, you can't sleep now, the external troubles are temporarily relieved, and the internal worries are not cleared......" Xiaoyaozi slowly woke up from the dragon chair, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and found that the red dragon with a golden light all over his body was hovering on the beam of the roof of the dormitory, and was blowing the dragon's whiskers and staring at him with wide eyes, he quickly sat up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Long, don't come to harm!

Chilong walked around to Xiaoyaozi, stretched his neck and sneered: "Your Majesty, you are now surrounded by murderous opportunities, don't you know?"

"Haha, Brother Long, think about it. Ha ha...... I have used the beauty of the country to stick to that Liu Huangtian, how can I kill the machine?

"Your Majesty, why did Liu Huangtian suggest that the first emperor implement reform and opening up early in the morning and abolish the ban on the sea, because he had already formed an alliance with the Japanese kingdom under the city, and in the future, the east and west would attack the Han State and divide Kyushu, you still naively thought that Liu Huangtian would be willing to be satisfied with the two places of Xijing and Tianfu that you had rewarded? After the first emperor left, there were still Daogu demons in the palace, such as Xue Fei and Concubine Ni, and how many Gu poison warlocks were sleeping beside you, but you didn't know at all. After Chilong finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth to Xiaoyaozi, who was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and sat down on the chair, instantly feeling that there was darkness in front of him.

"Brother Long, please use tea!, then in your opinion, what should I do?" Xiaoyaozi hurriedly poured another cup of tea and asked in a panic.

"After Liu Huangtian and Li Zicheng are both defeated, Liu Huangtian will be completely eradicated, and the top priority will be directly given to Concubine Xue and Concubine Ni. After the red dragon finished speaking, he turned into a red light and flew out of the palace.

"Good, good. Xiaoyaozi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Suzi, give two bottles of Heding Red to Concubine Xue and Concubine Ni." ”

"Obey, Your Majesty!" said that, Xiao Suzi hurried to do it.

Regarding the series of dried corpse incidents in the capital, there are also discussions in the Beiping Inn. Hua Gu, Zao Wou-Ki and his wife summoned the Bat Demon, the Wind Demon, and Lei Li to hold a meeting in the room.

Hua Gu smiled: "I know that everyone has been away from Qingfeng Villa for a long time, and maybe they are not used to the food in the north, and I also understand." Now this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, everyone should be a little more restrained, endure the calm for a while, don't be unable to control your appetite, and in the end lift a stone to hit yourself in the foot. ”

"Sister Hua, we haven't been out for the past two days, have we done anything wrong? Who is this for?" The bat demon looked at the wind demon, Lei Li, looked at Hua Gu, and asked puzzledly.

"Now that the wind in the capital is tight, I hope everyone will stop going out to hunt and collect yin and yang. If one of us accidentally makes a mistake, none of us can escape. Hua Gu lowered her voice, looked into everyone's eyes, and whispered.

"I've been at the inn with Lei Li for the past two days, and I haven't even walked around the street, and I haven't smoked anyone. The wind demon looked at Hua Gu and brushed his hair back.

"yes, we've been together and haven't gone out hunting. Lei Li agreed.

"That's weird, is there a group of people who know how to collect yin and replenish yang are also nearby? Everyone has been cautious lately, something is wrong. After Aunt Hua told everyone, everyone dispersed and went back to rest.

I think of the big battle with the red dragon, and I have been struggling with the few words that the red dragon said, and the words that come to my mind keep coming to mind: "Haha, good boy, you have grown so big!" "Child, we will see you again! Your yin power is still insufficient, you have time to go back to the ancient country of Sanqin to have a look!" and remembered the sentence of Taishan Fujun, "Kyushu, your yin power is getting stronger and stronger, you must pay attention to restraining yourself! It is better to use less mana!" I was very confused for a while.

"Dabao, do you say that the red dragon knows me? Could it be my relatives? But didn't you say that my parents turned into the Sun and Moon Divine Sword to suppress the city? What is going on?" I looked at Suzaku who was combing her hair in confusion.

"Xianggong, the bell must be tied to the bell, I'm afraid only the red dragon knows the truth. Okay, okay, Xianggong, you can also wash and sleep. Suzaku turned his head and smiled at me.

"Yo-yo, you know what?" I nudged the snoring fish's head.

"Oh, oh, master, what's the matter?" you looked at me curiously, wiping the fish bubbles from the side of your mouth.

"Yoyo, do you remember what the red dragon said that day? I held Yoyo in the palm of my hand and blew a few breaths of wind on it to help it refresh itself.

"Master, that red dragon looks like an evil dragon, it's an evil spirit, don't be fooled by its words. I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep. Yoyo said, yawned, and flew back to the bed to continue snoring.

"Alright then, I'll wash and sleep too. I shook my head listlessly, and then a fiery cloud suddenly appeared outside the window again, red all over the sky, lightning and thunder in the distance, closer and closer, the red dragon in the lightning storm riding the wind and waves, rolling and roaring, swallowing lightning in its mouth, a red dragon scale in the lightning refracted a ray of golden light, particularly dazzling.

"Dabao, Yoyo, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived! Look, it's still the red dragon, let's go over and ask it again! After that, I pulled Yoyo up, and at the same time pulled the Suzaku, and Yoyo rubbed his sleepy eyes to turn into a huge Kunpeng, and I pulled the Suzaku to ride Yoyo and flew into the air, flying close to the red dragon. The scales on the red dragon's body trembled in the lightning and thunder, and the red dragon still made a "rustle, squeak" sound, and the pieces of dragon scales were shining with golden light, like a sharp sword about to come out. I was engrossed, concentrated, exerting all my strength, clasping my hands together, and reciting aloud:

Outside the Yumen Pass, Helan Mountain,

The west wind is sad, and the yellow sand is bloodthirsty.

The wind and sand are high, and the bonfire is growing,

Ten thousand flags are the same, and the grassland is dominant.

The Huns are strong, the Khan is a horse,

Populus euphratica is on the edge, and the yurt is off-road.

The desert moved south, Jin Ge was extinguished,

Flying arrows are all over the sky, and the bones are feasting.

The wolf travels in Henan, explores the Han cave,

The beacon is in flames, and the sunset is like a sunset.

Rolling yellow sand, battle flag hunting,

Ban horses neighed, and heroes wept blood.

The southern conquest and the northern war, a horse and a flat river,

Under the banner of the wind horse, the triumphant song should be in the sky.

The spring breeze blows the willows, Wu Nong whispers softly,

In a corner of peace, it fell with a snap of a finger.

The walls were broken, burned and plundered,

The four fields are poisonous, and the bones are smoking.

Complaining, the virus is raging,

The rotting fireflies are tired, and the roe deer vultures multiply.

The west wind is cold, and the wives are scattered,

Su Wu shepherds, and the withered grass stretches the edge.

The world in the pupil, the city is torn,

The remnant sun is like blood, and the cold wind is like iron.

Feng Wolf Juxu, Hero Jiuquan,

Jingkang is difficult to peace, and the river is full of red throat.

Bingbing History, Scrolling Yellow Pages,

The war book is cloudy, and the country is destroyed.

Expand the territory, happiness is the thought,

Fast horses are like lightning, and tribute is like a bird.

Tianshan Snow Lotus, Inner Mongolia Chicken Blood,

Hetian Yujue, Jiangnan graceful.

Wine is like blood, beautiful women warm the temple,

The west wind is one night, and the spring breeze is several years.

Billowing wolf smoke, the Great Wall bleak,

Rise and fall from generation to generation, life and death.

The grass is glorious and withered, and the iron-blooded steel whip,

The goshawk circles, and Ao Bao sacrifices to the sky.

The soul of the dead sleeps,

The world is unified, and spring is emerging.

The west wind is strong, the mare's milk wine is fresh,

The sun and the moon are like shuttles, and the horse's hooves are like swords.

Genghis Khan, drifting with the wind,

The sun sets over the long river, and the cattle and sheep do not speak.

The bow is full of moon, and the galaxy is split,

The wind and drizzle, the eternal joy.

Hunting the west wind, crisscrossing and closing,

Huaxia Qiankun, a classic of the Warring States period.

In an instant, a huge storm of lightning descended from the sky, enveloping the red dragon, and suddenly the storm was full of wolf smoke, beacon fire transmission, war drums thundering, wind and sand everywhere, sand and gravel rolling, zebra neighing, thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen holding the immortal flag, wind horse flag, wielding scimitars, halberds, running, shouting, roaring, full of energy to prepare for a charge, jade burning. The red dragon wagged its tail and stared at me up and down, and it squirmed its dragon whiskers and said slowly: "Child, why do you always have to get along with me, I am your mother!"

"No matter who you are, don't bewitch the crowd anymore! Out of the sword!" I ordered, those Mongolian iron horses, wielding scimitars, galloped around the red dragon and slashed, the red dragon opened its teeth and claws and the Mongolian iron horsemen fought together, it sometimes rolled up and down and kicked the Mongolian iron hooves, sometimes shook the huge dragon tail and swept around, sometimes opened its bloody mouth to devour the Mongolian iron hooves, its hard dragon scales and swords collided fiercely, crackling bursts of rhapsody sounds, and the storm was full of lightning and flint. After a while, blood slowly oozed from the dragon scales. The red dragon sucked the long dragon whiskers, coiled its head in the middle, and the dragon body circled around the dragon's head, turning into a huge red ball, which quickly spun and soared into the sky, rushing out of the storm. Seeing that it was about to escape, I looked into Suzaku's eyes and said solemnly: "Dabao, please, don't let it escape this time!"

Suzaku jumped into the air, soared into the sky, spun up, and instantly transformed into a beautiful red fire phoenix flying in the air, she stretched out her wings and shouted, "Xuantian Nirvana Dafa!" Suzaku turned into a flame-waving, blazing fire phoenix, I saw her instigating a pair of wings, a raging, surging fire ring surrounded the lightning and thundering storm, the red ball that the red dragon became touched the fire ring, and immediately burned, the red dragon was hit back by the huge heat wave of the fire circle back to the storm, the red dragon shook left and right in the storm, Whipping the burning tail, it was not easy to extinguish the flames on the tail, and blood slowly oozing from the dragon scales, but he found powerlessly that he had been trapped in the ring of storm fire.

"Red Dragon, you are dying, what else do you have to say!" I roared as I brandished a flaming sword and pointed it at Red Dragon.

"Kyushu, Liu Changchun, do you know who you are? Do you know what era you live in now?"

"Who the hell are you? How do you know my name?" I was taken aback.

"What is your name? I know all about your three lives and three lives! I'll let you see you three hundred years from now. The red dragon flicked his tail, and the picture of the future of Kyushu appeared, and the red dragon said eloquently while emerging the picture: "Your name is Liu Changchun, Pisces, you love to eat fish head tofu soup, your parents work in a mine near Lop Nur in Xinjiang, they send you to Kezhong, you have always been a scholar, and your first love is called Peng Jingjing." Isn't it?"

"How do you know the memories in my bones, how do you know all this?" I asked, horrified.

"Child, in fact, the parents in your memory are not your parents at all, they are just a void stand-in, raising you in another time and space for me. Think about it with your fish head, how can any parent be willing to let their child study outside the school, and the child's academic performance is among the best in school. How can any parents let their children eat fish head tofu soup every day, because fish head is cheap. They were forced to raise you by my coercion. When the energy of the future plane became smaller and smaller, that is, when the seal of the moon was lifted, they no longer feared me, and finally one day they decided to break free from my shackles and abandon you. The red dragon swam with his whiskers and said slowly.

"You say they don't love me, so why did my mother prepare dry food and live fish for me before she went out?" I retorted aloud.

"Maybe I've been taking care of you for a long time, and I have a little feeling. Besides, if they want to leave you, not everything can be taken away, and what you can't take away is still a favor for others, so that you will always remember their goodness. You know better than anyone else that they will leave you alone for the rest of their lives. You were bullied at school, you got into a fight, did they come out to help you? Did they accept the girl you liked? Did their relatives treat you well? I'm afraid you don't even have a basic impression of their relatives. You are my child, you have my blood in your bones, our mother and son are connected, we have a clear heart, everything you have passed, everyone you have thought about, I know better than anyone else. Son, wake up! Don't be stupid! When my mother comes out, we will be reunited as a family! Child, the hardships we have suffered in the past are almost over! You will not be alone again!" The red dragon stretched out its head and claws, trying to break through the ring of fire and touch me, its eyes glistening with tears.

"Master, this is an illusion, be careful of the middle technique!" y-yo exclaimed nervously.

"Yoyo, what it says is the truth, and these are also the secrets sealed in my heart. Red Dragon, since you know me, tell me, what kind of world are we in now?!" I asked excitedly, trembling in my heart.

"The Ming Dynasty is about to fall, and Kyushu is now in chaos. The exiles are everywhere, the uprisings are continuous, the Han Dynasty and the Dashun regime are all fools' dreams, those who claim to be emperors are all exiles, and you and I both know how big the so-called imperial city is and how many troops there are; Liu Shu and Liu Huangtian are not yet a family, they killed each other for a little bit of domination, and in the end they were not all destroyed by the Dashun regime of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, you will see with your own eyes all this I predicted. Liu's ups and downs in Chinese history, their descendants in the Ming Dynasty are just unwilling to be lonely, Taoism is his Liu's eternal military advisor think tank, in this chaotic time he tried to start the heaven and earth seven divine swords again, in a vain attempt to resurrect the Liu Han regime. Soon, Emperor Chongzhen died, Wu Sangui surrendered to the enemy, Huang Taiji and Dolgon led Qing soldiers into the customs, Li Zicheng was destroyed, and Huang Taiji established the Qing Dynasty, which is the real history and the real world. Today's Han Kingdom is nothing more than a pipe dream of a group of Liu clansmen rejuvenating the country, and everything will disappear. The seal of the sun has been lifted, and you will soon see and discover the chaos of nothingness. You will know what is false and what is true. With that, the red dragon stuck out his tongue and licked the bleeding wound.

"I'll just count what you say is reasonable! Wait until I find out the history! You can go first!" I put away my sword, withdrew the storm, glanced back at Suzaku, motioned for her to remove the fire ring, and let the red dragon go, "Child, you have to keep your eyes open! History is written by people, and some are fake!" The red dragon said, flying off into the distance and disappearing into the night sky.

Suzaku and I flew back on a leisurely ride, feeling like we were in a lot of thoughts, and our minds were even more chaotic. Looking at the fiery clouds in the sky, I thought to myself, "Is this red dragon really my mother? Why did she appear at this time? If what she said was true, then who am I?"
