Chapter 155: Cool Charlatan
Late at night, the Shu Emperor's dormitory.
A row of trembling little eunuchs knelt in the corridor outside the dormitory.
Today's wind and snow have been falling all day, and it has not stopped until now, sporadic small snowflakes drifted into the empty corridor, accompanied by the sound of the Shu Emperor's smashing bottles and jars in the palace, the frightened heads of the little eunuchs did not dare to raise their heads, and they trembled.
Emperor Shu lifted a glass flower bottle with both hands, lifted it high, and slammed it to the ground, falling apart.
"Your Majesty."
Emperor Shu suddenly turned around, walked a few steps quickly to the old eunuch, and said in a deep voice: "Say." ”
The old eunuch brushed the dust on the crook of his arm and lay on the ground: "Back to Your Majesty, a group of thieves fled into the Xinchangfang Dazhou Station, and our people did not dare to trespass." Can only be surrounded outside. ”
Xinchangfang has always been the location of the post stations of various countries in Xishu, and the people living in it are "foreigners".
The post station of the Great Zhou is also among them, knowing that the murderer of King Jing is among them but can't catch it, the Shu Emperor stalks his neck, his face is black and purple with anger, and he waves his sleeves and knocks over the tea cup on the table.
After calming down, Emperor Shu instructed: "Go, tell Zhang San to catch them no matter what, otherwise you will come to see them,"
The old eunuch mourned for Zhang San for a moment, and immediately got up to do it, but who knew that the Shu Emperor suddenly stopped him: "Wait." ”
"Your Majesty?"
The old eunuch raised his head and glanced at Emperor Shu: "Your Majesty, what else do you command?" ”
"The decree is to ask the Ministry of Rites to bury King Jing's body and bury it in the imperial mausoleum with the gift of the prince."
The old lady listened and nodded, but quickly frowned and tried to say, "Your Majesty thinks twice." ”
Emperor Shu's face was gloomy, and he suspected that his ears had heard it wrong: "What did you say?" Say it again. ”
The old eunuch was frightened and hurriedly put his hands on his forehead, knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, think twice." I'm afraid that His Royal Highness King Jing can't be buried in the imperial mausoleum. The thieves made such a fuss at the entrance of the vegetable market, and now, I am afraid that the people of the entire capital know that King Jing cultivates the Demon Dao. ”
"Cultivating the Demon Dao is a heinous crime......
In an instant, the silence in the dormitory was terrifying, and the needles could be heard.
Emperor Shu was stunned on the spot, stumbled after a while, and almost fell headlong.
……
……
The next day, early in the morning.
The people who had slept in fear at the post station were woken up in advance.
After a simple wash of his face and breakfast, he was called to the backyard of the post station.
Lu Ximing and Wei Wushuang had been waiting here for a long time.
It's just that today's Wei Wushuang and last night met each other, judging as if they were two people, it was like one in the sky and one underground.
The face is pulled down, and the black can be compared to the bottom of the pot.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Ximing slowly spoke: "Time is pressing, and the Shu Emperor regards you as a thorn in the flesh. You'd better get out of here as soon as possible. ”
Everyone nodded, this is the truth.
With that, Lu Ximing moved a few steps to the side. The officer of the post station pulled out a luxurious carriage in the stable, and then drove out eight strange horses with horns on their heads, only to see that this strange beast resembled a horse, but it was not like it, much taller than ordinary horses, covered with scales, unruly.
Because they were pulled out too early, they snorted and pouted their hooves, trying to go back to the stable and sleep for a while. But fortunately, the little officials had a trick up their sleeve, and in a few moments they were obediently put into the carriage and ready to go.
"Unicorn!" Someone was startled and recognized the horse. It is rumored that this horse is not a real horse, but a man-tamed demon beast, this horse is extremely fast, and it is no longer a problem to travel thousands of miles a day.
"Nine-striped chariot!" Some people saw the nine runes carved on the carriage, and then surprised, it is rumored that the nine-pattern chariot is worthy of the children of the Great Zhou royal family, this car is engraved with exquisite formation, pulled by the unicorn, can run rampant in the sky, and more importantly, it is very comfortable, but also very stable.
Lu Ximing said: "There are many of you and there are still injuries on your body, so I will send you back to Juxian Town by the nine-pattern chariot, but I am afraid that there are so many of you in the car." I also have to ask Xun Sword Immortal Imperial Sword to piggyback a few people, plus Wei Wushuang can also bring a few people, so that's enough. ”
"It's a gesture." Xun Yijian clenched his fists, and then looked at the others.
But it was strange to see the reluctance on their faces.
Just ask: There are two completely different ways to return to Juxian Town, how will you choose?
Option 1: Nine-grain chariot.
Pros: Royal exclusive, fast, warm and no bumps in the car. Cons: None
Option 2: Edgeworth.
Advantages: Xun Jianxian personally operated, faster, panoramic skylight, overlooking the beautiful scenery along the road. Disadvantages: It is windy, easy to be infected with wind cold, and there is a certain probability of falling.
Everyone squeezed into the nine-pattern chariot one by one, and they couldn't wait for someone to sit on the roof of the car.
"By the way, what about Master Jiang?" Someone asked.
"It's long gone."
"Oh."
The chariot then rose into the air, rushed into the distant sky, burrowed into the clouds, and sped in the direction of Juxian Town, accompanied by two Edgeworth.
Yan Junshou did not go back with everyone, but stayed at the post station, and Zhao Jun went back to take care of everything in the house, and he wanted to follow Lu Ximing to Beijing to meet the new emperor.
"Let's go?"
"I'm tired ......"
......
Time goes back two hours ago.
The capital city of Xishu is still shrouded in darkness of night, standing on the second floor and looking at the past, there are already a little floating lights in the distance, and nearby, the people who get up early in the post station are walking back and forth in the courtyard, faintly talking.
Syllable!
A crisp sound.
Jiang Yang woke up instantly, only to feel a hot pain in his cheeks.
Open your eyes and look around.
Jiang Yang looked at the neatly dressed southern kite beside the bed, and said with a grin:
"What are you striking me for? Still so hard. My mom never tried that hard. ”
"Your mother?" The slender willow leaves of the southern kite raised their eyebrows.
Jiang Yang waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing, and he was slapped for no reason, although he was very angry, but what could he do?
I can't beat it.
I can only endure it.
It's so angry.
Angrily lifting the quilt and getting dressed, Jiang Yang looked at the southern kite beside the bed while putting on his socks, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on? Could it be that the Emperor of Shu sent someone to break in? ”
But he didn't hear any movement, Jiang Yang glanced out.
Besides, Emperor Shu will not be so stupid, if he really wants to break through, it is easy to cause serious diplomatic incidents.
"It's nothing, it's just to come here and make you a choice."
"What choice?"
"Go back with me, or with them? I'm leaving now, and they probably won't have to wait until dawn. ”
"With you, of course."
"Okay, hurry up and pack up and let's go."
After Nan Kite finished speaking, he turned around and left, but when he turned around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
A quarter of an hour later, a giant sword slowly lifted into the air with the two of them.
The giant sword quickly sank into the clouds and galloped away in the direction of Juxian Town.
Nan Kite hugged his arm, standing at the tip of the sword very coldly, letting the biting cold wind blow the ends of his hair, Jiang Yang clinged closely behind Nan Kite, and put his hands on Nan Kite's shoulders.
The wind blew on his face like a knife, and Jiang Yang, who was windy, couldn't open his eyes, and his facial features flew wildly.
"I—say—slow down, you're too fast, I can't stand it."
In the sky, Jiang Yang shouted at the top of his voice, and his footsteps moved forward again, eager to stick to Nan Kite's back, if he hadn't come, because his hand was wrong on Nan Kite's waist, he was beaten badly, and the two would have become one.
Nan Kite pouted in disgust, then raised his right hand, snapped his fingers at random, and with a "snap", a layer of pale yellow light emitted from the body of the giant sword, enveloping the two of them in it, isolating the wind and cold.
Jiang Yang felt a little better, but he couldn't help but shiver and rubbed his arms vigorously.
Flying in the sky for a short while, Nan Kite yawned for no reason, and patted his mouth lightly with his palm, "Parting is imminent, you don't have anything to tell me?" ”
"Hmm......" Jiang Yang groaned and tried to say: "Please, sister, don't go, don't want me to ......"
After a while, Jiang Yang covered his swollen face with one hand, turned his back to Nan Kite, sat on the broad sword, drew circles at his feet with the other hand, and muttered non-stop, looking very pitiful.
Damn, why is this station sister still beating people.
Nan Kite glanced back at the weak and pitiful Jiang Yang, shook his head gently, stretched his waist, and stretched his perfect tall figure.
Soon after, she sat down on the sword, looked ahead, and said in a calm tone, "Remember, you owe me a lot." ”
Jiang Yang didn't care and said, "I know......"
Feeling the cold breath behind him, Jiang Yang pulled a stiff smile on his face, immediately straightened his waist, and said again: "I, Jiang Yang, did what he said, you saved my life, and Yujian took me to the capital, I remember the kindness of this time and again." ”
"Don't worry, the reward promised to you will not be less."
"Wait for my long hair to reach my waist, phew...... When I become an immortal and become an emperor, I will treat you as a guest. ”
"Hmm."
A faint voice came from behind him. Jiang Yang tried to turn his head, and saw that Nan Kite was also sitting down, two long and tense legs hanging outside the sword, swaying back and forth, his arms tightly hugging his chest, staring intently ahead.
Jiang Yang moved his buttocks, moved to Nan Kite's side, and peeked at the heroic woman beside him from time to time.
Nan Kite glanced at it, continued to look ahead, and raised her chin slightly:
"Go on."
"Huh?"
Jiang Yang looked at Nan Kite and found that she was very relaxed now, as if she had met something happy.
Nan Kite shook the high ponytail on his head and looked over, "I mean, what are you going to do to me after you become an immortal and become an emperor......
Jiang Yang said "hi", laughed and said, "I said nonsense, I didn't expect you to really believe it." ”
"Why don't you believe it?"
Jiang Yang blinked, he didn't quite understand Nan Kite's brain circuit, Nan Kite didn't look like a person who likes to listen to people brag, why is this happening?
Nan Kite urged: "Say it quickly, after becoming an immortal and becoming an emperor......
"Uh-oh." Jiang Yang thought for a while and said, "After I become an immortal and become an emperor, I will never forget my aunt.... The girl's life-saving grace. Seeing that Nan Kite didn't react, Jiang Yang continued: "The girl is my great benefactor, and she must be regarded as a guest, personally serving tea and water to the girl, washing her feet, and warming the quilt.......
Nan Kite listened quietly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
In the end, Nan Kite turned his head, looked at the chattering little Taoist priest beside him, and asked a question: "Will we meet again in the future?" ”
Jiang Yang's voice stopped abruptly, he was stunned for a moment, and showed a mouthful of big white teeth: "Yes, it will." ”
Hearing this, Nan Kite suddenly slapped Jiang Yang on the back of the head, and this powerful and heavy palm almost sent Jiang Yang away: "Okay, Ben..... The girl remembers what you said. ”
Jiang Yang grinned in pain, and rubbed the back of his head vigorously: "Remember, remember, what are you doing to beat me?" ”
Nan Kite raised her eyebrows: "Get used to it." ”
Jiang Yang: "......"
……
I don't know how long I flew in the sky, and I got closer and closer to Qingyuan Mountain.
Nan Kite took a deep breath: "Cultivate well, see you in the future, I don't want you to be still below me." ”
Jiang Yang was stunned, and then nodded solemnly: "Well, I don't like you above me either, it seems that I am very unmanly, the next time we meet, I will definitely be above you and conquer you!" ”
Nan Kite's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she always felt that something was wrong......
"Alright, it's almost there, you jump down."
Jiang Yang's eyes widened, and he glanced down: "This is too high, right?" ”
Nan Kite kicked Jiang Yang angrily: "What so much nonsense." ”
Jiang Yang didn't sit still, and fell straight down, his voice getting farther and farther away, and becoming less and less clear:
"Stinky woman, you are so irritable, no man in the world is willing to marry you."
Nan Kite held her chin with one hand, glanced down, and sighed:
"Fate, the ...... that can't run away"
After saying that, Nan Kite turned around and stood up again, and she turned back into that cool swordsman.
