Chapter 132: The Palace Storm
"Damn the four elders of the East China Sea, kill more than ten strong people in my Pomp Police Patrol Division, this account, this deity will be remembered for you!"
Standing in front of the pile of rubble, Hulan Xuechan was no longer gentle, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of rare anger.
The five palace masters, led by Hulan Zhenting, stood on the snow a hundred meters away, all of them bowed their eyebrows and bowed their heads, and they were quite respectful to Xi and the queen.
Looking up at the decadent snow-capped mountains on the peak, Huo Xu hurriedly extinguished the fire: "The four elders of the East China Sea met the mysterious powerhouse, and when they fought viciously, they must have had no distractions, and the spatial turbulence destroyed the enchantment and destroyed the top of the mountain, and more than ten strong people died because of this, in the final analysis, they were all injured by mistake." ”
"Mysterious powerhouse?" Hulan Xuechan's expression slowed slightly, and she asked with her eyes, "······ can wave three colors of strong light, is it really related to the matter of Cuishan? ”
"Nope." Huo Xu denied: "What is certain is that the death of the five prohibited flyers has nothing to do with her. ”
"I'm glad you said that." Hulan Xuechan smiled bitterly: "However, in the eyes of the world, the royal family and the court have long been discredited by the world, and now they can't win the trust of anyone by saying anything, and they will only serve as a reverse indicator, so it's better to remain silent." ”
She stretched out her well-maintained jade hand and pressed against the huge ice cube hanging from the cliff, as if she wanted to sink her entire palm deep into the ice.
"The hearts of the people are scattered, every inch of the empire is cracking, even if the deity has the heart to return to heaven, but it can only be in vain! What a mysterious powerhouse, what the four elders of the East China Sea, are all far away, and the deity can't take care of it! ”
The queen's extremely lonely voice floated in Huo Xu's ears, and his thoughts instantly flew back to Lofe City, landing on the big event that was enough to dominate the ups and downs of the world.
"Expedition to Rock County and Vorland County, this matter should not end without a problem, right?" Huo Xu asked cautiously.
"It's just a topic to divert attention, where did the expedition come from?" Hulan Xuechan removed the palm of the ice, and the water vapor on the ice surface froze quickly, revealing a clear palm print.
It seemed as if she wanted to make her mark on every inch of the empire, but the next moment, she realized that it was a futile struggle.
"Diverting attention is not successful, His Majesty the Great Emperor and the deity are self-defeating, and now some people are grasping the topic of the expedition, exerting pressure everywhere, intending to control the major sects, in the long run, it will eventually form a tail that will not fall, and Yan County and Voran County will have to go down, the day of the expedition······ It will never come! Hulan Xuechan said with a gloomy expression.
Never before had she spoken to an outsider like she did today.
Huo Xu's heart is as clear as a mirror, and the more the queen is like this, the more it shows that the situation in the empire is already in danger, and the master of the Three Autumn Hall is under untold pressure.
After several hesitations, he finally chose to remain silent.
Hulan Xuechan moved closer to Huo Xu, her eyes were only a foot away from his face, staring at those clear eyes, she said solemnly:
"Listen, Huo Xu, this world is full of scheming, especially in the court, but in all fairness, the deity has never calculated against you, on the contrary, the deity is happy to see you grow stronger day by day, and I hope you will grow into a giant tree as soon as possible.
The world is impermanent, no one can say for sure in the future life, the deity only has a small wish, no matter how strong you are in the future, which camp you belong to, I hope you read in the emperor and the deity did not treat you badly, know the proportion, as the saying goes, be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future. ”
Looking at the queen's eyes calmly, Huo Xu said indifferently: "Pushing up the three generations, my family has no grievances with His Majesty the Great Emperor and His Royal Highness the Empress, and the future life is indeed uncertain, but I believe that my enemy is not in the top of Lingyin Peak and the Three Autumn Palace." ”
Turning to stare at the vast snowy area, Hulan Xuechan breathed a long sigh of relief, "Remember what you said!" Let's go, don't get together with those Yuan Shao, you go back with the deity, and after the winter trial, find a place to lie down, don't ask about the world, and concentrate on cultivation. ”
······
At the winter test site of the Yuan Shaoyuan Academy of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion, the morning sun was first dewed and the sky was fine.
Not only that, but even the Empress Hulan Xuechan and the Minister of State Mos, the head of the Rite Domain, Gu Lin Haobo, the Zongren Mansion Zongzheng Gu Lin Mangyu, and the deacon of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion Gu Lin Haoshu and other imperial dignitaries also attended the ceremony.
On the huge square, more than 1,000 Yuan Shao lined up in five groups of mighty queues, and walked to the five huge Yuan Ding in turn to be tested.
Some Yuan Shao had never seen such a big battle, and they couldn't help but have some stage fright, but when they found that the queen and the four giants of the country were chatting and occasionally looking around, and they didn't bother to glance at the square, their hearts finally calmed down.
Huo Xu stood under the inconspicuous eaves, with only Liu Lao Liu Rusi as his companion, but he was the only eye-catcher on the scene.
Hulan Xuechan was on the red seat of the viewing platform, and the four dignitaries kept a distance of two feet from her.
The powerhouses of the various sects in the capital who wanted to come to watch the ceremony were all turned away by the Royal Martial Arts Mansion, except for one person.
Shui Zhizhi, the patriarch of the water clan, was personally invited by the queen, and as the only strong folk sect on the scene, her appearance caused almost exhaustive interpretation by all the dignitaries.
Shui Zhizhi's seat is on the side of the red seat, and the distance from the queen is actually closer than that of the prime minister, Zhengqing, Zongzheng, and deacons!
Moreover, the queen chatted with her very happily.
"Lofe City's top carpenters are all under the command of the Water Chief, right?"
"Back to Your Highness, they are all talented people in the empire, but they were moved by the Shui Clan's thirsty attitude, and they are just doing things for the Shui Clan temporarily."
"Very good, on the top of Lingyin Mountain and in the Three Autumn Palace, those old wooden products should have been replaced a long time ago, and this matter will be entrusted to the water tribal chief."
"Yes, the water clan obeys!"
With a calm and light face, and just by hearing and capturing a little information, Gu Lin Haobo already knew in his heart: the Tie Clan was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and the Rite Clan had no grip, so it was time to give up the Five Clans Alliance, which was like a chicken rib!
Gu Lin Mangyu didn't give up his thoughts in such a hurry and gave up his efforts to support Mu Hua to run for the position of alliance leader, however, he was secretly thinking about whether the investment was worth it.
On the corridor, Shangguan Qingyun walked like a fly, and after arriving on the right side of the seating area, he raised his hand to salute a strong man in official robes.
Judging from his clothes, the strong man should be the Zhongqing at the level of the Prime Minister's Chamberlain, and this person smiled and said: "Hehe, Shangguan Qingyun, come, this Yuanjing mining plan has been revised by the Ministry of Industry, and the five ministries have deliberated, and finally passed it smoothly, you can take it back and print it." After speaking, he handed a stack of manuscripts to Shangguan Qingyun.
Following the sound of catching a glimpse of Shangguan Qingyun, Huo Xu's heart couldn't help but sink: "Could it be that he has moved to the Prime Minister's Mansion on an errand, but he has not gone to the Imperial Academy of Administration?" ”
That strong man's reaction was too abnormal!
As the secretary of the Zhongqing, he did not finish the mining official business in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but actually brought it to the winter test site, and sent Shangguan Qingyun alone, and he was very attentive to this little clerk, calling him by his name in public, and not even omitting his surname.
The point is that his voice was too loud, and his voice shook more than a dozen rows of powerhouses.
After handing over the manuscript, this person still did not let Shangguan Qingyun leave, and whispered to the latter, as if he was explaining his business.
"Shangguan" is not a common surname, and many strong people immediately stared at Shangguan Qingyun when they heard it.
Liu Rusi was particularly sensitive to this surname, she looked at the young scribe she had already met from a distance, and her thoughts were confused for a while, and she was a little distracted.
Even Gray Rose, who was walking slowly on the road, couldn't help but stop and look back, frowning and glancing over there.
However, Grey Rose had just come out of the customs and was eager to go to Huoxu's side to continue to fulfill the promise she had made to the master of Juan Mountain, so she glanced at the Zhongqing with dissatisfaction and returned to the road.
The right side of the row seating area is not far from the seats of Moss and Gulin Haobo, the former is unheard, and the latter is pale, and then glances at the row of seats, and his sharp gaze is eager to pierce Shangguan Qingyun's soul in one fell swoop.
Hulan Xuechan glanced at it shrewdly, and spoke out at the right time: "Regarding the expedition, how is the preparation progress of the Li Domain?" ”
Hearing Fengyin, to be precise, hearing the word "expedition", Gu Lin Haobo's heart was shocked, obviously like being beaten with chicken blood, but he showed a bitter face, got up and said respectfully to the queen:
"Your Highness, I'm ashamed to say that things have not been going well recently. The sects of Liyuan County, Hexi County, and Huacheng County refused to cooperate with the Li Fan Yuan on the grounds of guarding against the rebellion of the beasts in Luoxia Mountain, and even some newly rising forces in the capital have been pushing back, which is infuriating!
Is there anyone behind the Nangong family? The Rite Domain Court sent people to mobilize several times, and all the good things were said, but Nangong Zheng was always vain and wronged, so regardless of the overall situation, there was no Xihe Empire in his eyes, there was no Holy Emperor, only some people's own acres and threes of land! ”
Minister Moss reacted very quickly, almost blurted out: "In the six northern and southern counties such as Wotai County and Jiangyang County, all the sects there are only His Excellency Zhengqing's leader, in this case, why didn't the Rite Clan Yuan summon all the strong people of these six counties into the capital to form the backbone of the expedition and set an example for other sects?" After all, the power of example is endless.
As for the strong people in the capital, there are a number of profound sects such as Beiming Sect and Nanxuanmen, so why should Your Excellency Zhengqing worry about it? Compared with the five major sects with many people, a small Nangong family is simply not worth mentioning! ”
Gulin Hobo: "······"
No one wants to be the first to use his descendants as cannon fodder, and Moss has taken advantage of this human weakness of Gulin Haobo, and with a few words like a gentle drizzle, he will be dumbfounded.
In front of the public, Gu Lin Haobo did not pretend to be crazy and stupid like he did last time on the top of Lingyin Mountain, but forced a calm smile, and his heart was secretly ruthless.
Like Gulin Wujiang, Hulan Xuechan is also very good at making peace with the mud: "Okay, there are a lot of plans for the expedition, and the secretaries still need to coordinate more, communicate diligently, and plan in the long run." ”
For the arrogant Gulin Haobo, the queen's words had no position, no attitude, and no nutrition, which did not play a comforting role, but raised his hatred for Prime Minister Moss.
Throwing a dragonfly glance at Moss, Gulin Hobogu pondered how to increase the pressure method.
He temporarily forgot about Shangguan Qingyun's existence.
