Chapter 82: Precious time, take care of yourself
In the Lake Heart Pavilion, Lin Man'er fell into contemplation again. Thinking back to the past, he felt more and more like a clown, being fooled. Suddenly, he remembered the advice of the Shadow Fallen Immortal Killer before he left.
That is, the heart of the royal family is like the sea, and its form is like a ghost. In the future, I hope you will be cautious. At that time, he didn't quite understand, but now it seems that isn't it the Oriental Changqin?
Thinking of this, Lin Man'er let out a wry smile. After laughing, he asked tiredly, "You instructed the Shadow Falling Immortal to attack me?" ”
"Yes, but not all."
"I'm a stupid person, I don't understand the mystery of your words."
"Alas! I never thought of getting rid of you. However, the killer of the Shadow Fallen Immortal is indeed what I wanted. That's just to make sure you're on my side, though. Otherwise, the one who will attack it will be a first-class killer. ”
"Really? But the killer you were looking for almost killed me. ”
"I only found out about this later. For this reason, I ordered Liu Shixian to get rid of that fool who made up his own mind. Maybe you don't know that it was for you to vent your anger that Liu Shixian was almost exposed. ”
Lin Man'er sneered, and said in a mocking tone: "Hmph, so I should thank you?" ”
"I can understand your mood at the moment. However, I did not do it for myself, but for this terminally ill country. Otherwise, how could I, a down-and-out prince who had lost power, gain the support of many forces? How can Tuoba New City be willing to bear the responsibility? ”
"Really? I'd love to hear how you saved the country. ”
Dongfang Changqin naturally understood that Lin Man'er was mocking him. However, he is still willing to take the time to pour out his heart.
In fact, Dongfang Changqin admires Dongfang Yunying very much, and it is precisely because of this that he broke with Dongfang Yunqi and his son. Later, Dongfang Yunqi whitewashed the peace, intending to get the opportunity to leave the ancestral star.
However, the recruitment period of Heavenly Court continued to be postponed, and the whitewashed balance finally surfaced. And it's getting more and more out of control. However, Dongfang Yunqi was already difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to gamble again. To do so, he had to surrender most of his authority to defend against foreign invasions.
It's a pity that things didn't go as expected, and the Sea Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Wing Clan all went crazy, destroying his last hope. Now, he has little power left at hand, and it is only a matter of time before he abdicates.
Dongfang Changqin has already seen through his father and the current situation. Therefore, he was able to unite the forces that supported Dongfang Yunying in the past. Among them, there are not only Guzhou Mu Jiang Liqun, but also many generals of Guzhou Wei and Kezhou Wei. As for Meihuawei's side, he originally supported his accession to the throne.
Dongfang Yunqi is not a fool, and naturally understands that the general trend has gone. For this reason, even if he knew that the second child was wronged, he could only kill his relatives in righteousness. Perhaps, this is the only way to get a glimmer of life. After all, there is no family affection under the imperial power!
Having said that, after Lin Man'er listened to Dongfang Changqin's heartfelt words, she was also deeply touched in her heart. At that moment, he collected his temper and said very seriously: "If you become an emperor, how do you plan to govern this country?" ”
"Three aspects: First, rectify the extravagance and cowardice in the country, and implement the official inspection system. Second, reallocate resources, and implement a new system of Meizhou Branch, and reform Guzhou College and Hakka College, so as to promote more talents. Third, establish a defense system in the Wushan area to resist foreign invasions. ”
Lin Man'er smiled and asked, "I'm afraid there's another one, right?" ”
Dongfang Changqin also laughed, nodded and said, "Yes!" If I are in power, I am afraid that your carp chamber of commerce will not be able to do it. ”
"It's okay! As long as you can govern this country well, I can accept it if I sacrifice a little. ”
"Hehe, don't come here for this, don't think I don't know about your carp chamber of commerce's plan to move to Shangzhou."
"Tsk, I'm afraid of traitors in everything!"
"Okay, let's get down to business, at what price are you going to kill your brother?"
Lin Man'er touched his chin and pretended to ask: "Eh, in fact, my president's speech is not very effective." Moreover, it took years of investment to achieve today's results. If I give you away for nothing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain! ”
"I have never asked you to give me this great gift, but I want a fair price, so that you and I can be brothers."
"Don't worry, brother, brother knows it. When you ascend the throne, you will give a great gift. ”
The corners of Dongfang Changqin's mouth were raised, and he began to stroke the qin again. Lin Man'er was also interested, and sacrificed the golden silk coketail piano and played a song in the ensemble.
After the song was about to disperse, Dongfang Changqin painstakingly advised: "The road in Shangzhou is not easy to walk, you have to be on the embankment at all times!" ”
"I won't go to Shangzhou for the time being!"
"Why?"
"I want to go to the Wushan battlefield first, firstly, to compete for the stunning sword, and secondly, to share a pressure for you."
"Wushan is extremely dangerous, with your current cultivation, forget it!"
"That's not good, the stinging sword is bound to win."
Dongfang Changqin mistakenly thought that Lin Man'er wanted a magic weapon in his hand, so he admonished: "The stunning sword is not as powerful as you think. If you really want a magic weapon at your fingertips, my father has given you a big gift!
Moreover, according to the information I received, Li Junchi, Sharon, Ling Guanyu, Qiao Yanfang, and Nangong Yunyun have all returned to China. As for the rest of the candidates, except for Xia Yuan of the Sword Sect, you are basically the one who won the Zichuan Sword. ”
"Hmmm! It makes sense, the baby given away for nothing is not taken for nothing. ”
"Hehe, don't be too complacent, Xia Yuan is not easy to deal with. Moreover, she already had the Shadow Lin Sword, the head of the seven-colored sword in her hand, and now she was even more imperative to the Zichuan Sword. Otherwise, she would have returned to China to defend against the Sea Clan. ”
"Don't worry! If I had been injured before, I might not be able to defeat her. But now I have not only recovered from my injuries, but my cultivation has also been greatly improved. It is no exaggeration to say that even if I let her make a few moves, she will not be able to defeat me. ”
"Oh well! I wish you a successful start for my brother and be awarded the Divine Soldier. ”
Lin Man'er answered, and left the Huxin Pavilion with the golden silk Jiaowei qin. Shortly after he left, Dongfang Changqin's biological mother slowly appeared and told her son that something big had happened.
——————————
In the Second Prince's Mansion, Dongfang Changse knelt in the courtyard, his eyes full of unwillingness and doubt. Obviously, he has received the will of Dongfang Yunqi, and he has also announced that he has no chance of being on the throne from now on.
For a long time, Dongfang Changse's biological mother couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to admonish: "Son, you can save your life if you leave now." If you delay for a long time, you won't be able to leave even if you want to. ”
"Hahaha, do you really think I can leave Jiang Cheng alive?"
"You have no authority now, and you have no threat to him. I think he'll let us live. ”
"It's late!" After Dongfang Changse finished speaking, he lay straight on the ground.
Obviously, he, like Dongfang Changzheng, was preparing to launch a mutiny. Since Dongfang Changzheng has failed, the subordinates he arranged will definitely be suppressed. At that time, confess his guilt, and how can he live?
Song Ying'er sighed and turned to leave. Although she had no shame to see her own sister again, she had to go for the sake of her son's life. Unfortunately, her trip was destined to be meaningless.
——————————
On the central street of Jiangcheng, Lin Man'er looked at the slightly desolate scene, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental in his heart. In just half a month, such a big change has happened. It is said that cultivators go to heaven and earth and are extremely chic, but for this world where the light are like forests, life is still very fragile.
Thinking of this, Lin Man'er decided to go to the embassy to see the storm. Unfortunately, when he arrived at the embassy, Fenglan had already left. There is no way, as a princess of the Central Plains, how can she sit idly by and ignore the difficulties of her family and country. Before leaving, Fenglan left a sentence.
That is, cherish the time and take care of yourself.
Lin Man'er naturally understood the meaning of these eight words. Obviously, the five countries of Shenzhou were attacked almost simultaneously, which means that a major war is about to break out. At that time, countless lives will be lost, and perhaps she will be one of them. Therefore, Fenglan hoped that Lin Man'er could accompany her, but at the same time, she didn't want to affect her decision.
It is this inner contradiction that made her leave the words "precious time, take care of yourself".
Lin Man'er sighed, but still chose to continue to carry out his plan. That is, gather the twenty-four swords of the zodiac, open the sword shrine, and leave the ancestral star. No way, since the day he learned about his life, he was destined not to live as he wanted. After all, there were too many expectant eyes behind him.
Even if Lin Man'er didn't want to take revenge, then he had to see the old ministry and express his opinion. At the same time, it can also give those people spiritual relief.
Just as Lin Man'er was about to leave, Xuanyuan Jingyin stopped him and asked, "What are your plans in the future?" ”
Lin Man'er glanced at her, and replied with some annoyance: "Foreign invasion is naturally to fight back. ”
"So you're going to the Wushan battlefield?"
"Can't I go?"
"If you go, you can go, but whether you can come back alive is not certain."
Lin Man'er frowned, and said with a displeased expression: "Do you think I will die in Wushan?" ”
"Wushan is dying every day, and it doesn't seem to be missing you, right?"
"What the hell do you mean, just say it."
Xuanyuan Jingyin smiled slightly, looked at the direction of the homeland, and said meaningfully: "To resist foreign invasion, you don't necessarily have to go to Wushan. Maybe you also got the news that the three states of my Central Plains were attacked by the Wing Clan at the same time, and they suffered heavy losses.
In fact, the situation in the Central Plains is even worse than you think, and it is not only the Wing Clan who sneaks up, but also the demon clans in various places. Coupled with the previous turmoil, the Central Plains Six Guards are afraid that it will be difficult to resist! ”
Lin Man'er snorted and sneered: "As the strongest country, the Central Plains has to fight in the nest to damage its national strength. Now that you have reached the doorstep, you realize that there is a difficulty in losing the country, don't you think it's very sad? ”
"Yes! Sadly indeed! But what has happened, do you have to feel sorry for yourself and sit back and watch the country die? ”
"That's your business, it's none of my business."
"Nothing to do with you? It's a shame that you can say it. Not to mention that you are pregnant with the Wind Finger Sword and Dragon Yuan Technique of my Central Plains Royal Family, even your life was saved by us. What's more, the trouble between you and Xue'er is known to the world, and now you are leaving, where is Xue'er, where is my Central Plains royal family? ”
Lin Man'er was dumbfounded, and was silent for a long time before squeezing out a sentence.
"I'm sorry, but I did go too far. However, I can't go to the Central Plains for the time being, so I have to go to Wushan first to get the stunning sword. If I'm right, maybe I can really change the current situation of the ancestral star. ”
After thinking for a while, Xuanyuan Jingyin asked, "Do you want to open the Xuankong Sword Shrine?" ”
"You know that, too?"
"Nonsense! How can I not know about the ten forbidden areas? ”
Lin Man'er looked at Xuanyuan Jingyin with a surprised expression and asked, "Since you know, why don't you choose to leave?" ”
"How to leave? Breaking into a restricted area? Jokes, don't say that you are a six-pin, even the nine-pin immortal monarch has no return. ”
Lin Man'er listened to the words, and suddenly remembered that the Big and Small Han Sword and the Stunned Sword were from the Central Plains royal family. Perhaps, Xuanyuan Jingyin knew the whereabouts of the rest of the famous swords. Thinking of this, Lin Man'er said with a serious face: "I already know the seven swords of the Twenty Swords of the Zodiac, do you know the other seventeen swords?" ”
"Don't dream, you can't make it all together."
"How can you know if you can't make it up if you don't try?"
"Hehe, I'll tell you the truth! Many years ago, some people also wanted to open the Xuankong Sword Shrine, but they had gathered twelve swords in their lifetime. Among them, there are only three swords that really reach him, namely the Little Han Sword, the Great Han Sword, and the Stinging Sword. ”
When Lin Man'er heard the names of the three swords, his whole person was stunned in place like a stake. Xuanyuan Jingyin shook his head and sighed: "Alas, my ancestor back then was as confident as you. It's a pity that after a busy life, in the end, I didn't even see the door of the sword shrine. ”
Lin Man'er came to his senses and asked, "Why didn't that ancestor of yours gather the last six swords?" ”
"There are two reasons: first, the whereabouts are unknown, and the search is fruitless. Second, if you find a trace, you can't do anything. ”
"Is it because the other party doesn't borrow it?"
"Huh! Even if you want to, you can't borrow it! ”
Lin Man'er rolled his eyes and asked, "Is the person dead?" ”
"Yes! Three of the owners of the 24 swords of the zodiac died in other forbidden areas. Just imagine, the Xuankong Sword Shrine is one of the forbidden areas, in order to get the key and then enter other forbidden areas, what is the difference between that and looking for death? ”
After a pause, seeing that Lin Man'er was silent, he persuaded him with good words, "Child, the predecessors you can think of have already thought of and tried. But how it turned out, you also saw. So you better give up this idea early, so as not to regret it for the rest of your life. ”
However, Lin Man'er looked at Xuanyuan Jingyin very resolutely, and said word by word: "I will never regret what I have done." Just tell me what you know, and I'll figure out the rest. ”
Xuanyuan Jingyin looked at Lin Man'er's resolute eyes, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart. Thinking about the miracle created by Lin Man'er, maybe there is really a chance! Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Jingyin decided to tell Lin Man'er everything he knew.
