Chapter 17: King Qing
The normal time required to divert from Huiji Mountain to the capital is eight days.
I don't know if King Qing gave a secret decree to the forbidden army, this way that is non-stop, there are no post inns, some are sleeping in the open, and the carriages and horses are only changing.
So on the fifth day, they went to Yejing, the capital of Qingguo.
It was the first time for Aman to come to the capital of Qingguo, before she went to Wei to see the world, and also went to the capital of Wei to live for a few days, and saw the prosperity and liveliness there.
In her eyes, the capital of Qingguo should be inseparable.
But when she arrived in Yejing, she found that there was a different style here.
Majestic, oppressive.
Tall towers, thick city walls, meticulous streets, quiet markets.
Boisterous? No.
Prosperous, there is but you can't feel it.
"Why is it like this?" Ah Man was a little confused.
"Every time the emperor dies, Ye Kyoto will mourn for the whole month, if we come half a month late, it will not be so dead and silent, but lively."
Wang Zi'an whispered to Ah Man to explain his doubts, but Ah Man always felt that something was wrong.
She looked at the longevity of passers-by, hoping to see some clues, but she didn't gain anything, at least she didn't see that she died five days later.
"There is the palace ahead, don't be nervous, I will accompany you." Wang Zi'an said, grabbed Aman's hand and patted it twice as a comfort.
Ah Man glanced at Wang Zi'an and withdrew his hand: "I'm not nervous." ”
"I heard the old lady mention that if the king's lifespan is not ideal, you should infer that you have lost the ability to see."
"It is said that because you lose your virgin body, you can't see it, and that's what will cause trouble for your Wang family." Ah Man smiled: "Don't worry, this matter is easy to deal with." ”
Half an hour later, Ah Man and Wang Zi'an finally came to the main hall of Chenzhao Palace, but Wang Zi'an was stopped, and King Qing only summoned Ah Man.
"The courtesy Wang Su clan pays a visit to the king!" Ah Man entered the temple and bowed according to the rules.
"Get up!" After King Qing greeted, all the servants around him retreated, and in the entire main hall, except for Ah Man, only King Qing was left, not even a eunuch left.
The window is tightly closed, the door of the hall is closed, that is, in the blink of an eye, the whole hall is closed like a box.
"There is only one and you in this hall, since you can break the number of life, then let's talk about it, Lonely, what is the lifespan?"
King Qing was very straightforward, and his tone was very calm, and he didn't even move when he sat in the high royal chair.
Aman raised her head and looked at King Qing seriously, and then she smiled bitterly, but did not speak.
"What does that mean?"
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have no way to answer you."
"Huh?" King Qing's voice turned to displeasure.
"Your Majesty, courtiers can indeed see the number of lifespans, but what courtiers can see is only the lifespan of people! Your Majesty's Ninety-Five Honor, the son of the true dragon, your lifespan is not visible to the courtiers. ”
Ah Man said and saluted respectfully, and then said no more.
I've said that you are the true dragon emperor, so you don't need to descend to the troubled waters.
King Qing didn't speak, he sat quietly on the king's chair and stared at Aman, and after about five breaths, he raised his hand and struck the bell on his side.
Immediately, a corner door in the hall opened, and a eunuch hurriedly entered and came to King Qing's side, bowing and saluting: "Your Majesty." ”
"Go, stand in front of her."
"Yes."
The eunuch immediately walked towards Aman.
Not good!
Ah Man suddenly realized that this King Qing was going to play yin.
Sure enough, when the eunuch stood in front of her, King Qing spoke: "Look at him, how long does he live?" ”
Ah Man slowly looked up at the eunuch, she saw the red "5", but she was thinking about how to answer?
Say more than five days of life? If this King Qing cuts him now, does that count her as inaccurate?
Say the number of lives less than five days? Say three days, so what if he survived for three days?
Tell the truth?
So what if this bureau related to the death was arranged by King Qing himself, wouldn't she be used to measure the good fortune?
"Why don't you say it?" King Qing's tone was still so calm: "He's a human." ”
Ah Man blinked: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have seen it, but the courtiers have something to say in front." ”
"Speak."
"What the courtiers see is the number of lives determined by heaven, but the number of lives is not immutable, some causes and effects can change the number of lives, and even some special beings can change the lives of others, such as you."
"I didn't come to you alone, I didn't embarrass you, I was just curious, and you just had to cut it off."
"Yes, then...... Please ask this father-in-law to stay away. ”
Aman didn't want to explode in front of him, lest this man live in terror for the rest of the five days.
But......
"It's okay, just say it." King Qing didn't care about the eunuch's feelings at all, he was obsessed with the answer.
When the eunuch heard this, he hurriedly said: "Madame, just make it clear, the slave family can bear it." ”
"Well, you...... There are five days left to live. ”
As soon as these words came out, King Qing did not move, but the eunuch looked up in astonishment: "What? Five days? ”
Ah Man nodded, with sympathy in his eyes: "That's right, since you already know, these days, you might as well do what you want to do and haven't done yet." ”
"Me, I have five days left?" The eunuch Xu didn't expect that the death period would be so close at all, and he couldn't accept it for a while, so he stood in place and repeated, staring at Ah Man, as if hoping that Ah Man would deny all this.
"The world is impermanent, and it is time to be happy." That's all Aman can say.
"No, no!" The eunuch was in disbelief.
At this time, King Qing spoke: "Come here, place the thirteen Lang of the Wang family, his wife and his entourage in the Lingxiu Palace, and they are not allowed to go out without the will of the lonely." ”
"Your Majesty!" Ah Man looked up at King Qing: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Five days, I want to see if the five days come, he will die."
……
"Could it be that we all die here in the end?"
In the Lingxiu Palace, Wang Zi'an was eager to get an answer from Aman.
"I don't know." Ah Man frowned: "I can only see the number of lifespans, not death." However, I promised to steal your life for you, no matter where it is, I will do it. ”
"Thank you." Wang Zi'an clenched his fists: "You, can't you really see Your Majesty's lifespan?" ”
No, I see that.
So far, I can see everyone but you.
"Why don't you speak?"
"I don't want to say it, I just can't say it."
She didn't want to lie to him, but she definitely couldn't tell the truth, because the number of lives she saw surprised her.
"Okay, you have a lot of rules in the fairy gate, so I won't offend. But now that we're all locked up here, what should we do? ”
"Eat and drink." Ah Man smiled at Prince An: "Just when you have five days left in your life, do something you want to do but haven't done." ”
After speaking, Ah Man reached out and patted Wang Zi'an on the shoulder, and walked out of the room.
At this point, she needs to calm down and sort out a way of thinking.
Because, she wanted to figure out one thing:
Why does the lifespan of a man show that he still has 3,700,000 days!
