Xu family, ancestral hall

At this time, Yan Xu was wrapped in red clothes and stood in front of the three elders, and the mask on his face showed no signs of taking off. The ancestral hall was silent, waiting for the first person to speak, and this person was Yan Xu, but her voice was hoarse: "The emperor's will, I hope I will leave for the country of Qilu." “

As soon as the words fell, the three elders showed a contemplative look on their faces, presumably, they also thought of it. The Second Elder and the Third Elder looked at the Great Elder in unison, waiting for the Great Elder to speak.

The Great Elder touched his snow-white beard and said, "Xu Yan, if the emperor asks you to go to the country of Qilu this time, it must be because of Taiping, this will, you still have to go." But don't forget, you are the head of the Xu family, and the object of your allegiance is Xixuan, not Taiping. “

"I, I still remember the promise I promised. Yan Xu said lightly, her eyes, as if stained with blood, were dazzlingly red.

The Great Elder nodded and said, "Since you haven't forgotten, the oath you made back then is the best. So what should we do, as elders, we are no longer qualified, what do you say to the head of the family, you can do it, follow the memory of your bloodline, and do it. Our three brothers are also going into retreat. A hundred years later, when the time comes, this secret room will be reopened. “

Yan Xu nodded, arched his hand at the three elders, and strode out of the secret room of the ancestral hall. Behind Yan Xu, the door of the secret room slowly closed. Originally, it took a dozen or so disciples to work together to make this dark iron gate move, but now, this gate has closed by itself.

In the secret room, the Great Elder looked at Yan Xu's back, which was shrinking with the gate, like, it was too similar.

That feeling, that half of the lookback, that stubborn look. It's so similar.

"Big brother, are you so relieved to let this little girl toss?" the second elder said suspiciously.

"Second brother, can't you see it? Whether this little girl exists or not, Xixuan, after all, is not the Kangxuan Dynasty, and the emperor is about to be unable to tolerate us. Moreover, we three elders have been working hard for more than a hundred years, so that today, the returnees have appeared, and now that they have appeared, we should naturally fall into a deep sleep. Our lives are not endless, but much longer. The Great Elder sighed and said.

"What the eldest brother said is, but I didn't expect that the power of this bloodline would appear so late, hundreds of years, and it is almost to our limit. The three elders said.

"Sometimes, I really miss the Kangxuan Dynasty back then. The Great Elder sighed.

Yes, at that time, all the people were still young. At that time ... Alas, it would be nice if that day could come.

But now, the Kang Xuan Dynasty can only trace and hear in the books and picture albums.

"Kang Xuan is prosperous, the people, each live in peace and enjoy its work, willing to eat and beautiful clothes, the wind and rain are smooth, and the year is peaceful. The land of Qilu, bordering the north of Yinshan, bordering the sea area of 10,000 miles, perennial trade, after Kang Xuan, so it belongs to Kang Xuan, which is among the subject countries. In the Taiping Palace, Wang Xi was reading the contents recorded on the scroll. Originally, what Wang Xi said was a record of Qilu, but Long Xiang was interested in Kang Xuan, interrupted Wang Xi's thoughts, and said: "Kang Xuan Dynasty, is it really as prosperous as Chengping?"

"This, Emperor, the scroll is still somewhat exaggerated, but it should not be too far off. Wang Xi said.

Long Xiang, who was originally half-recumbent, stood up. said: "Wang Xi, what do you think of the current peace?"

Wang Xi closed the scroll in his hand, put his hands in front of his stomach, and said respectfully: "Taiping is also a prosperous era now, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and praises the benevolence of the emperor." “

"Live and work in peace. The wish of the widow is that the country and the people are safe and the world is peaceful. However, beyond this Yin Mountain, it is eyeing the tiger. At that time, Kang Xuan was able to inherit the prosperous world, and it was Yinshan who was able to get along in harmony. But now. I'm afraid that not only the widows, but also the common people will be worried, and they don't know when the war will start. Long Xiang's words, Wang Xi just lowered his head and did not answer. Long Xiang's words are irrefutable. As long as the West Xuan and the Taiping are opposed for one day, it will be impossible for these two countries to truly live and work in peace and contentment.

But the betrayal and conspiracy of the past have also made the kings of these two countries for generations hateful and hostile for no reason.

Long Xiang sighed and said to Wang Xi: "The country of Qilu, how is it?"

Wang Xi took a step forward and said: "The envoy of Qilu can reach Anyang City today, Concubine Yan Niangniang is ill and may not be able to go, Concubine Jue Niangniang is all ready and secure, Emperor, tomorrow, you can set off and go to the country of Qilu." “

"Okay, what about Wang Yi?"

"After Wang Yi left the palace that day, he went to visit Wang Cen with a gift from the emperor. I also went to the outskirts of the city, and stayed at the ruins of Anle Temple for a small half a day. Now he is planning to leave for Fuzhou. Wang Xi told Wang Yi about his movements.

"Fuzhou, Wang Yi's kid, everything is good, it's just dead-eyed. Let him stay a few more days, and don't always think about going back to Fuzhou. Speaking of Anle Temple, Long Xiang involuntarily remembered some past events: "Anle Temple was Wang Langya's residence before, and I remembered that Han Dongjun seemed to have died because of Anle Temple." When his father killed him, it seems that it was related to Wang Cen. “

"Yes, Your Majesty. “

"Well, the palace maids who guarded the queen's mausoleum have also arrived in five years, let them receive their property and be ordinary people, from now on, whether they live or die, and the Taiping Palace, has nothing to do with it. “

"Yes, Your Majesty. “

"Wang Xi, you said that the witch envoy selected her from the lower palace back then, do you know that she is Han Dongjun's widow?"

"Maybe, you know. Wang Xi bowed his head and said.

"It's okay, in this way, the debts owed to them by the Taiping royal family can be repaid. Long Xiang sighed silently, maybe Yan Xu really knew it back then.

In the study room of the Taiping Palace, a person was kneeling, as if waiting for something. After the book case in front of him, Wang Cen stood with his hands in his hands, his head raised slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he said: "This mission to Qilu is a good thing and a bad thing." You go back and let Concubine Jue Niangniang restrain her temperament a little more. This queen, the mother of the world, is generous, she has to do it all, whether she likes it or not. After all, all the people are watching. “

"It's Elder Wang. “

"With that in mind, stand down. “

"Yes, the villain must convey it. “

"Long Xiang. Xu Qingruo looked up at the bright moon outside the window, turned his head again, looked at himself in the mirror, and involuntarily stroked his face, which was an extremely ordinary face, so ordinary that it would be buried in the crowd. Such a face does not attract anyone's attention.

The emperor asked Xu Qingruo to seduce the emperor of Taiping and become his concubine. This task seems to be a difficult task, but Xu Qingruo's smile in the mirror is confident, because she knows that this matter is not difficult for her.

She has the confidence that as long as she is a man, she will never run away from her true appearance.

Yes, in this mirror, the incomparably ordinary appearance is not Xu Qingruo's real appearance, so what is her real appearance?

Her hand was slowly tearing off the almost transparent human skin mask. Under the mask, there are ice muscles and jade bones, eyebrows like willow leaves, and lips like peach blossoms.

What a stunning beauty who is shy of flowers in the moon and looks forward to life. If Ye Siyuan, who was underground, saw this, where would there be red beads in his eyes? It's a pity.

Xu Qingruo smiled lightly in the mirror, his eyebrows and eyes were a little more vivid, and he was a little more scheming.

"Long Xiang, I will definitely get you. Xu Qingruo looked at himself in the mirror confidently and smiled confidently. At this time, there was no light in the room, but the moonlight shone on her face without hesitation.

In the land of Xixuan, Xu Qingruo is definitely not the only one who is thinking about Long Xiang.

A red-clothed cloak was being raised high on the city tower, and Yan Xu looked into the distance. I finally waited for today, these five years, it was not easy, because in her body, there has always been a force that wants to devour her memory, five years of pulling and pulling, no one has gotten anyone, this body, this soul, is not Yan Xu alone, but Long Xiang belongs to Yan Xu.

Yan Xu touched the shiny beads on his chest, it was this bead that accompanied him for five years, and also made his dreams more real.

Qilu's trip, the emperor's secret mission was to let Yan Xu enter the palace of Taiping, Yan Xu knew that he was not the only one who carried out this task. Emperor Xixuan is suspicious by nature, which may be inherited from the temperament of Prince Kang Xuan back then.

However, no matter who it is, Long Xiang can only be his own!

Because......
