One hundred and twelve, the Xu family, the Xu master
Xixuan, the capital of the Kangxuan Dynasty, was the Kangxuan Dynasty at the head of the Four Kingdoms a hundred years ago, and every inch of land and every gray wall tile can see the footprints of history.
The royal palace here is majestic and majestic, and the black flags make a sound in the air. Occasionally, there are a few majestic falcons in the sky. The falcon's feet were all tied with strips of black cloth engraved with the symbol of Xixuan.
In the palace of the Xixuan Dynasty, you can still see the scratches on the bricks, which all prove that there was a fierce struggle here, and it was this struggle more than two hundred years ago that made the current Kangxuan Dynasty become one of the four kingdoms Xixuan. This land has also withdrawn from the position of the supreme leader of the Four Kingdoms, and Beikang, which was once split from its own flesh and blood, which is now Taiping, has become a powerful country with considerable strength.
Unlike the Taiping retained many sacrificial activities, Xixuan is more simple and single, regardless of color or clothing, and most of the royal costumes are mainly black, and even sacrifices are not common. Maybe it has something to do with the split between the two countries.
In the Kangxuan Dynasty, the prince seized the heir, cut the city and stood up, and was located in the northwest, becoming Beikang and Xixuan. And the atavistic ancestors of the Xu family also choose their own masters. Among them, Xu Xi, who was able to predict the future and had the ability to reach ghosts and gods, followed the Beikang Dynasty, that is, Yan Xi in the back, and founded the descendants of the Yan family. And the Xu family symbolizes strength, there are Yin soldiers, and Xu Fu, who controls the power of the ghost general, follows Xixuan. With the difference in their respective beliefs, the two dynasties have become what they are today.
With the Xu family for nearly a hundred years, there has never been a head of the family who inherits the bloodline of the Xu family. The Xu family, which was originally a family in the four countries, has gradually declined. Only the huge statue in front of the gate of the Xu family, as well as the wide faΓ§ade, are telling its former scenery.
A carriage slowly stopped in front of the two huge statues, and from them came a man, a masked child. Under the drag of the adults, the child seemed to have no intention of resisting, so he had to quickly and staggered behind the guards.
Step by step, he stepped into the main hall of the Xu family.
Behind the child was a woman in a cloak, her hands folded in their sleeves. Xixuan in early spring is always a little colder than Taiping.
That woman was Xu Qingruo, Xu Qingruo's eyes were not calm, but revealed a little essence, as if she was prepared.
Walking in the slightly familiar corridor, there were occasionally eyes full of disgust on Xu Qingruo's face, but Xu Qingruo didn't care, from that distance, among the soldiers in black and gold armor, she knew that the people here wanted to drive themselves out from the first moment she stepped in. But it was hindered by that person's face.
And that person is now in that main hall, waiting for an old situation to be overturned, and he is here for this moment!
The main hall of the Xu family is very large, and on the main seat, there is a man dressed in dark color and with gold silk sleeves leaning against his arm, supporting his head, he raised his head slightly, the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, revealing a cold taste.
He is not as good-looking as Long Xiang, his face is longer than Long Xiang, his eyes are smaller than Long Xiang, his face is whiter than Long Xiang, his nose is sharper than Long Xiang, and his mouth is thinner than Long Xiang. Even so, Yan Xu can see that in the next few years, he will be here, facing this person.
His eyes flashed with a complex and suspicious light, and he looked up and down the girl, who was only eight or nine years old, who was walking towards him, and pointed his fingers down on the undecorated edge of the chair in front of him, as if thinking about something.
Yan Xu's eyes looked straight ahead, she knew that that person, probably, was the emperor of Xixuan. The people around them all bowed their heads respectfully, but only the three old men who seemed to be old sat on the side, their eyes also looking up and down at Yan Xu who was wearing a mask.
Xu Qingruo stood in front of the three elders, pulled up his cloak, raised his head, inherited the disgusted gaze of the Xu family present, stood close to the emperor, and saluted. The man on the seat spoke first: "Lonely, let you go to Taiping for so long, and you brought back a child for Lone?"
Xu Qingruo had already expected it, and said calmly: "I don't know if the emperor has heard of it, the little queen of Taiping?"
"How could I not have heard that as soon as the new Emperor Taiping ascended the throne, he set up a nine-year-old little queen, this news, presumably the rest of the countries have spread all over it. β
"Emperor, this is the little queen of Taiping, that is, the last bloodline of the Yan family. β
As soon as he said this, the emperor on that seat was slightly stunned. It was not only the emperor who was stunned, but the three elders who had originally closed their eyes and recuperated also opened their eyes in surprise and looked at the little girl who was neither humble nor arrogant on the field. In any case, I can't believe that this little girl is actually the little queen of Taiping.
There was silence for a while, and only Xu Ronghua, who was behind the three elders, spoke: "Xu Qingruo, you said that she is the little queen of Taiping, how do you prove it? Don't talk about Xixuan, I heard that not many people in Taiping have seen the true face of that little queen." β
The emperor didn't speak, just looked at Xu Qingruo quietly.
Xu Qingruo smiled slightly: "Presumably, the emperor has already received the news that Queen Taiping is mourning." Qingruo, how dare you deceive the emperor. True or false, what does it matter? After speaking, he looked up at the emperor on the seat.
After hearing this, the emperor in the seat smiled slightly, and only spit out a sentence for a long time: "I have long heard that the Yan family of Taiping can predict what is coming, so he helped Taiping and overthrew the Beikang Dynasty." Today, Lone Ke really happened to meet it. If so, Great Elder, what are you going to do?"
The old man sitting next to him, an old man with a snow-white beard, arched his hand and said: "The Yan family itself is from the descendants of the Xu family, and the body has stolen the ability of the Xu family. β
"The Great Elder has a way? Gu Ke heard that this is the last bloodline of the Yan Clan, if something goes wrong, the Xu Clan will have nothing, and the Great Elder should think twice." The emperor said with an evil smile, looking at the great elder's hesitant expression, he changed the topic, and said to Xu Qingruo who was standing beside him: "Qingruo, this time I went to Fuzhou, and it is already a great achievement to be able to bring back the descendants of the Yan family." Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Xu Qingruo smiled slightly, walked to the back of Yan Xu, next to the three elders, blessed his body slightly, and said decently: "Qingruo doesn't dare, this is what Qingruo should do." Since ancient times, the Xu family should have done his best as an emperor, and Qing Ruo did not dare to receive the reward. β
The emperor smiled and said: "The Xu family, it has been worse day by day, and there is no family head yet, the previous family master Xu Da has lived in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness, I am afraid that he will not be able to find it back, and now the three elders are also old, so they can't work too hard, so let's do it, Qingruo, why don't you be the head of the Xu family? β
"The opinions of the three elders should be asked. Qingruo lowered her head slightly, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a triumphant smile.
Yes, she had waited too long for this day, not for anything else, but for revenge. She knew that at this time, the position of the head of the family was bound to be obtained by herself, if the elder refused, she would have offended the emperor, if she agreed, hum. Xu Qingruo smiled slightly, and she waited for the seal to be completed.
