Chapter 649: The Vicissitudes of Jiazi
The capital is getting closer and closer, and Ning Yue's heart is getting higher and higher. He still doesn't know how to turn defeat into victory. Only after seeing the invincible strength of King Qilian can he understand the powerlessness of these martial arts masters.
In Ning Yue's opinion, King Qilian should no longer be called a human. He should be God! a God who has the power to rule over all beings. The power is desperate, and the strength is terrifying, and it makes people give up all thoughts.
In the whole world, only the ageless immortals can stop King Qilian, but the ageless gods are unwilling to make a move. Although the reason given by the Immortal Immortal was about my, Ning Yue had to maliciously speculate that the Immortal Immortal was afraid of losing.
Returning to this place again, King Qilian was a little emotional. The Xuanyin Sect Master also slowly stopped, looking at the gate of the capital, and a memory appeared in his eyes.
"Old man, you haven't been back in fifty years. But I'm different, I've been here every year for the past fifty years. That's where I was born, where I was born. But, old man, do you know that for the first time in fifty years, I am standing here in the open.
Every year when I come back, I have to change my face, and I don't dare to use my own name. Your son, the dignified king of Zhongshan County, can't even go back to his own home. Every time I stand here, I swear to myself that sooner or later I will come back dignified. Come back in the middle of the welcome of the people and the officials. ”
"No one won't let you come back, you are the king of Zhongshan County, and you are a member of the royal family. If you don't rebel, you are the noble prince of the county and can live comfortably in the palace. You have a home that you can't go back to, and you didn't bring it on yourself? Who made you think about rebellion?"
Ning Yue didn't know when she came behind the three of them and stopped five steps away. When she got here, there was no need for Ning Yue to keep her distance from them. Because maybe as soon as the gates are opened, the battle begins.
"Come back dignified?hahaha...... If I dare to come back as the king of Zhongshan, I'm afraid my bones will already be cold!" The Xuanyin Sect Master turned around with disdain and looked at Ning Yue mockingly.
"Don't you know how cold-blooded and ruthless that uncle of yours is? You forgot the man in black on the Nine Shadows Ridge? What did he come for? Don't you know? If the old man was really abolished from his martial arts back then, he was really imprisoned for forty years. Maybe he couldn't even see the sun and was killed by the little emperor. ”
Ning Yue wanted to speak and stopped, but the words of rebuttal were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything. The man in black came to kill King Qilian, because King Qilian lived for a day, and Mo Wuxian couldn't sleep well for a day. The only difference is that this time Mo Wuxian is crooked. Therefore, Mo Wuxian can continue to hold the banner of justice.
From Mo Wuxian's standpoint, it is understandable for him to do this. But from a fair standpoint, Mo Wuxian was wrong. But at this time, right and wrong really matter? People sometimes insist not on right or wrong at all, but on their position.
Ning Yue was a policeman in her previous life, and she was ostracized everywhere because of her innocence. By the time he understood, his life was already sealed. In this life, sometimes he will be willful and naïve. But for her position, Ning Yue has never wavered.
Seeing that Ning Yue chose to be silent, the Xuanyin Sect Master did not continue to be unrelenting. Instead, he turned around slowly and walked slowly towards the city gate. He didn't worry at all about whether there would be an ambush, whether there would be a cold arrow. Because of all this, he doesn't care.
The hand lightly touched the city gate, and with a slight force, the city gate was slowly pushed open. Unexpectedly, there was no army behind the city gate, and not even the gate was erected. The gates of the city were pushed open so easily and lightly.
What comes into view is a straight and empty avenue, leading into the distance. The Xuanyin Sect Master was slightly stunned, because the scene in front of him was too much beyond his expectations. He thought that there would be a tiger's den in Longtan in the capital, and he also thought that there would be ten thousand cannons at the moment of opening the door. However, none of these are any. There was no army, no ambush, not even the people.
The Xuanyin Sect Master hesitated, if there was a large army in front of him, he would not hesitate to kill it. But in front of him was an empty city, but he hesitated. Because he couldn't guess it, he couldn't guess Mo Wuji's plan, and he couldn't guess what kind of danger there would be in the capital.
The Xuanyin Sect Master's freeze made Ning Yue show a trace of disdain, people who are used to intrigue and intrigue will only use intrigue to think about others. But Ning Yue knew that there was indeed no army in the capital, and there was no ambush.
In front of King Qilian, what kind of army is like a fictitious one, and what kind of ambush is a futile joke.
The Xuanyin Sect Master was stunned, but King Qilian didn't. was so calm and relaxed, and slowly stepped on the official road of the capital. This is Xuanwu Street, which leads directly from the north gate to the Central Palace. There are four gates in the capital, and the main road at each gate is directly leading to the palace. This point, even if King Qilian did not come back for fifty years, it is impossible to forget.
Walking slowly on Xuanwu Street, I kept looking around on both sides. The street is still the same street, but the shops around it have become unrecognizable. Fifty years ago, even the capital was depressed. It is impossible to have so many shops, and it is impossible to have such a prosperous Qionglou Yuyu.
King Qilian walked slowly, perhaps looking for something familiar back then. Finally, King Qilian stopped at the door of a small, inconspicuous baked cake shop. Looking at the signboard fluttering in the breeze in front of him, King Qilian's eyes flashed with reminiscence.
"Lao Wan Baked Cakes!" four crooked big characters, no other advertising slogans, just four words that look awkward. In this capital where every inch of land is valuable, it is not easy to have a small façade.
Although this Lao Wan baked cake shop has been squeezed, only a small earthen house of less than seven or eight square meters remains. But the name of this shop is something that Ning Yue has also heard. But unfortunately, the door of the store is closed at this moment, and the entire capital seems to be a dead city.
King Qilian closed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual power was released like a radar. King Qilian's spiritual power is several times that of a martial arts master. The spirit is outward, and it can cover the entire capital.
After a while, King Qilian slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes that were originally as calm as water. Because in his induction, the people of the capital did not all leave. The reason why it looks like an empty city is because they are all hiding in their homes.
A gust of wind blew, and a notice was blown down by the strong wind, and after flying in the wind, it gently floated to the top of Ning Yue's head. Ning Yue grabbed it casually, it turned out to be a notice for the people of the capital to leave and take refuge.
Although he didn't say anything, the implication was that there was a strong enemy to attack and avoid casualties among the people in the capital. This was originally expected by Ning Yue, so Ning Yue just glanced at it casually.
King Qilian turned around slightly, looking at the Xuanyin Sect Master with a strange face behind him, and a smile appeared on his face, "When my father was young, he loved to eat this Lao Wan baked cake the most. It's been almost a hundred years, and I didn't expect this store to still exist.
At that time, my father was not yet the crown prince. As a prince, he is not allowed to leave the palace, let alone eat things outside the palace. I remember one time, my father and Qi Yu sneaked out of the palace, just to buy a baked cake for Qi Feng, so that he wouldn't keep saying that I lied to him.
It happened that I saw that the Hubu Shangshu robbed the people's daughter, and Qi Yu and I stepped forward to stop it and stopped the Hubu Shangshu. Originally, I thought that this was a good thing. Who would have thought that as soon as we returned to the palace, he participated in our book in front of my father. For this reason, Qi Yu and I were each beaten ten boards by our father. Do you know why?"
"Grandpa Huang is scolding you for not going out of the palace without permission, let alone eating folk things?"
"It's not ......" King Qilian shook his head slowly, "My father told me that as a prince, it is not how to fight grievances, but how to buy people's hearts. Whose hearts and minds are being bought? Naturally, it is the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Because this world cannot be governed by the emperor alone. Only when there are people under his command and the support of ministers can this emperor be stable and the world be stable. ”
"At that time, Grandpa Huang was already planning to make you the crown prince?" The Xuanyin Sect Master was slightly surprised, although since he was born, King Qilian had already been the prince of the East Palace. But the Xuanyin Sect Master really doesn't know when he became the prince.
At that time, although my father nodded yes, he didn't care in his heart. We are a royal family, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are our courtiers. It has always been the slave who pleases the master, when is it the master's turn to please the slave?
Everything in heaven and earth is inseparable from a single word of reason, and if for the sake of stability and profit, we don't even want reason, what is the use of the sage books we have read for so many years? At that time, Qi Yu argued on the basis of reason, and even said that the king is the boat and the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat and also overturn the boat.
As a result, I was let out, but Qi Yu was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion and grounded for seven days. Later, I snuck out of the palace again to see if the family had been retaliated against.
As a result, I inquired and found out that the folk girl who was rescued by me was later humiliated on the street by the head of the household with dozens of family members, and committed suicide with hatred. The whole family, thirteen people, was beaten to death with sticks and dumped in mass graves.
At that time, I knew that the Great Zhou was coming to an end. If I don't change it, if I don't rectify it, it will be over! It was also at that time that I began to make up my mind and began my martial arts. When I took real power, the first one was to take down the Tobu Shangshu and put him in prison.
Each of the 80 counts is shocking. At the entrance of the vegetable market, Ling was late for three days and three nights before he died. My father was only sixteen years old at the time, and my father still clearly remembers that day when the people of the whole city clapped their hands and celebrated, and one by one they willingly knelt down in front of me and shouted Prince Qilian.
The people are the water, the king is the boat, what Qi Yu said is not wrong at all. So, I don't know where you got your harvest grain tray from in the first place. But if I knew that you had used the Fenggu Pan to suck up the land aura of a place in Liangzhou, my father would definitely stop you from doing so. This is not to hurt the peace of the heavens, but to hurt the hearts of the people. ”
"I know......" Although the Xuanyin Sect Master was proud and did not admit defeat, at this moment, he was unusually honest and bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Got it, did it all the work, knew it was a fart?" Ning Yue said with a smile that was neither yin nor yang.
"Hmph!" the Xuanyin Sect Master snorted coldly, and was about to speak, but he paused vividly. Because at this moment, at both ends of Xuanwu Street, several probes appeared one after another to probe the old man and the old lady. One by one, they craned their necks, trying to see how many of them looked like they were.
"It seems to be Prince Qilian......"
"Yes, it's Prince Qilian, Prince Qilian has returned to Beijing?"
