Chapter Ninety-Five: The Fire Mansion and the Forces
On the rooftop, while Xie Yu opened the window, an old man in simple clothes sat quietly on the rooftop with an old man's chair
The breeze blew, and occasionally, the old man's chair rose and fell casually.
The old man's eyes were lightly closed, but the mottled marks on his seventy-year-old face, the wrinkles with clear textures, seemed to be the traces left by the perennial confusion of problems and the difficulties of his life, and he kept frowning and thinking about them every day.
"Grandpa...", a little girl of about five or six years old, with two pigtails, trotted to the old man's side.
"Yo, my little granddaughter is here. The old man opened his eyes happily, his deep gaze revealed a doting look, and he stretched out his hand to gently pick her up and put her in his arms.
"Grandpa, are you thinking about your aunt again?" the little girl was obediently picked up by him, sat in his arms, and asked.
"Auntie, is it graceful?" Hearing this, it seemed that Mo Duan's memories were evoked, and the old man's eyes fell into deep thought.
"Fathers, daughters are unfilial, and they live up to your nurturing grace. But her daughter has already identified Brother Xie in her life, and he will not marry. ”
"The marriage of my family is arranged by my parents, and unless you leave the family, you don't want to be with that commoner boy. ”
"We already have children. ”
"What, you wicked obstacle, I abolished you. ”
"Poof..."
"I have abolished your cultivation, and from now on, you will no longer be the daughter of my Murong of Bathing Fire, nor will you be a member of my Bathing Fire family. ”
"Father..."
"Hmph, don't call me father anymore, you and I have nothing to do with it. ”
...............
"What, the Qiling Peak family was wiped out overnight?"
"How is this possible? The Qiling Feng family has always been a mortal enemy with our Bathing Fire Mansion, and the head of the Feng family also has the cultivation of the Martial Sect like me, and it is said that a few days ago, he also fell in love with a big force, how could this be sadly destroyed! Third brother, did you hear it wrong? What about the youngest daughter of the Feng family? She is the one who serves by the emperor's side!"
There are countless large and small forces in Jinling City that are stronger than the Yuhuo Mansion, but everyone knows that both the Feng family and the Yuhuo Mansion have a daughter who serves by the emperor's side. Although there are countless beauties in the harem, but in the end, they are also named as relatives of the emperor! However, someone dares to destroy the Feng family, this kind of thing can be big or small!
"It's true, big brother, I've seen it with my own eyes. ”
"Third brother, do you know who ......"
"You know, a five-year-old kid, he calls himself a tricky boy. ”
"You're here, Lord of the Bathing Fire Mansion?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm here to pay off my debts, and the Qiling Feng family is just the beginning. ”
"Pay off the debt? Qiling Feng family? You are the tricky son?"
"That's right, I'm Gongzi and Xie Yu, your nephew. ”
"What? You're my nephew?"
"Well, not anymore. Mother has been expelled from the fire house by you, and years of cultivation have been abolished. However, after more than 20 years of nurturing kindness and roots, there is still a love for you after all, so I am here to pay off my mother's debts and satisfy your vain desires and ambitions for my mother. ”
...........................
Two months later, ask Tiantai, Ba Huo became the first family under the Jinling royal family, although there is no background, but no one dares to deny it, because the son named "Wei" let the royal family become his sword between talking and laughing, and because of the one who is known as the first smart strategist in the mainland, one of the three wisdoms, Wu Zhi Shangren treated him with a gentleman's courtesy, and said frankly that in addition to the highest-end military force, Wei Gongzi has the ability to change the dynasty in his life.
...... ,
"Sir, sir, the window is open. An excited cry came from a distance, directly pulling Murong from the fragment of his thoughts.
"What kind of window? What a fuss, what a system. The old man looked at the servants who had come from afar, and shouted dissatisfiedly.
This old man is the lord of Yuhuo Mansion, Xie Yu's grandfather, and that girl is the girl of Xie Yu's third uncle, Yuhuo Xiangling, that is, Xie Yu's cousin.
Yuhuo Murong slowly sat up, put down the Yuhuo Xiangling in his arms, and shouted to the servant who came from afar.
"It's... That is, it is the window of the young master. The person who came was out of breath, and as soon as he heard the question, he quickly explained.
"Young Master Cousin, that Young Master Cousin?... Wait, that window, is that the window facing the palace?" Murong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly reacted and stood up excitedly, and hurriedly asked.
"Yes, sir, now everyone on the street sees it. The man hurriedly said, telling everything he had seen.
The imperial palace is in the center of Jinling City, which is the residence of the emperor and the place where the emperor issues instructions and administration.
As the highest order office of an empire, all the windows and doors in Jinling City must avoid the location of the palace, otherwise they will be regarded by the royal family as despising the imperial authority, which will cause death at least and death by the nine clans.
Because since the establishment of the Eastern Empire thousands of years, there are clear regulations that unless people who have made great contributions to the empire, who have made great contributions to the empire, who have contributed to the society and the world, will be able to open a window to the palace where they live, which means to supervise power.
There is also a saying that the windows are on the palace, day and night for the people.
Therefore, anyone who opens the doors and windows to the palace is a very important figure in the empire, and has extremely high power in terms of political positions, even if he is the crown prince of the dynasty.
And, in Jinling, who has the status of opening windows to the palace, Xie Yu is one.
Ten years ago, Jinling's treacherous son was exposed, and his talent was arrogant, which made many famous people in the government and the opposition ashamed, and he was full of wisdom, so that the white-haired veterans were convinced.
The most important thing is that he is innocent and of unknown origin, and his cognition of martial arts formations and Taoism is quite in everyone's style, especially the formation and Taoism, which has alarmed an old ancestor in the royal family and the first master of the empire, Yuan Changfeng, the dean of Tianwu Academy, is close to him and has had a friendship with him.
Therefore, under the express order of the old ancestor of the royal family, the contemporary emperor gave Xie Yu the title of honorary prince and was named the king of meritless.
Yes, because Xie Yuxia had no merit, but there was an explicit order from the ancestors, the emperor had no choice but to seal a meritorious king to him.
.........
"Grandpa, isn't my cousin back? On the rooftop, before Murong could speak, the little girl had already pulled off his clothes, and asked with admiration in a pair of watery eyes.
Although she was still young, she knew that there were only three people in this Jinling City whose windows were facing the palace, and her cousin was one of them.
And she herself has been listening to her cousin's story since she was a child, so as soon as she heard that her cousin was coming back, the little girl asked excitedly, she always wanted to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed her cousin was, and why was he so powerful.
"It's been ten years, a whole ten years. He really didn't die, he really didn't die, I knew that the disaster in Xiwu Town couldn't help him, he, he finally came back...... Haha, let's go home. As if Murong didn't seem to hear the little girl's question, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, laughed and said, then took a step forward, picked up the little girl, and strode in the direction of the Fire Mansion under her puzzled eyes.
At the same time, in Jinling City, a luxurious mansion.
"Is that window really open?" asked a middle-aged man sitting on a chair in the library.
"It's really opened, I've just gone there myself, it's really opened. On the other side, a middle-aged man who looked about the same as him stood and replied.
"I heard that Yue'er scrapped the bath fire last month. The seated man asked.
"Well, I'll prepare a gift to apologize. The middle-aged man who was standing replied calmly.
"Third brother...", the sitting man wanted to say something, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it after all.
"Big brother, you don't have to say anything, I understand. The middle-aged man who was standing before walked to the door, stood for a moment, said a word, and walked out without looking back, just helpless with low eyes, but a trace of remorse.
"Ten years ago, sixteen doors and windows were opened to the palace, and two months after that man entered the city, a new window was added, and fourteen old windows were removed. Not long after the man he called the third brother left, the man who was called the eldest brother was talking to himself in the room.
At the same time, Jinling City, another luxurious place.
"Stop all plans, call back all the people who went out, and immediately dispose of all the eyes that have fallen in the fire house. "At the gathering of a secret room, a golden-robed man on the main seat quickly issued an order.
"I recall it immediately and do not dispose of all eyeliner, eyes that I lost in the bathing house. "Same order, different place, same time.
For a while, all kinds of instructions in Jinling City were like a huge spider web, operating quickly and orderly.
"Hehe, Jinling City is about to be lively. A middle-aged Confucian in white slowly put down the tea in his hand and said with a chuckle.
The middle-aged Confucian was not happy or sad, as if it had nothing to do with him even if the world was turned upside down outside, but the window of his room was facing the palace.
"Your Majesty, the window opened ten years ago, and he ...... He's back. "In the main hall of the palace, a general of the Imperial Forest Army fell to one knee on the ground, and in front of him was a man in an imperial robe.
"I know, you go down first!" The man in the imperial robe was extremely majestic, and waved his hand without joy or sorrow, letting him go down.
"The power of Jinling, maybe it's time to wash it, just watch the show. "This man in the imperial robe is the number one person in power in the Eastern Empire, and the emperor ——— Yupu boundless. At this moment, in Jinling City, only he and a few people can achieve the realm of looking like usual.
