Chapter Thirty-Eight: Descending to the Palace!
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
It's late at night, and the oil lamp in the imperial study is still on, and Emperor Hui is sitting at the desk to review the folds.
The old eunuch next to him stood aside with the dust in his arms, silent, covering his mouth and yawning from time to time.
On the lamp, a moth continued to rotate around the lamp, making a "buzzing" sound, and the bored old eunuch wanted to reach out and slap it to death, but he was afraid of disturbing Emperor Hui, so he could only squint and stare at it.
"Poof."
Finally, the little thing threw itself into the light and burned to death.
Suddenly, the old eunuch's brows relaxed, and his squinted eyes gradually opened, as if he was finally comfortable.
And this subtle movement made Emperor Hui, who was concentrating on reviewing the folds, come back to his senses, he took the brush and opened another fold, and asked without raising his head: "Li Quan, what time is it?" ”
The old eunuch hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it's the third watch, you really should rest." ”
"It's okay, you go down first, there has been a flood in Lanzhou recently, and I still need to arrange disaster relief." Hui Di said.
The old eunuch looked at the figure in front of him that he had grown up with since he was a child, and sighed: "The old slave should accompany Your Majesty." ”
"Okay."
Emperor Hui didn't say much, and then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did the people from Qin Tianjian come back?" ”
"Your Majesty, not yet." The old eunuch said cautiously.
"Huh?"
Emperor Hui raised his head, his brows furrowed slightly, with the speed of the Qin Heavenly Supervisor, he should have come back in half a day, unless......
"Wow-"
At this moment, the oil lamp on the table suddenly burst into flames, and a crimson fire dragon hovered out of it and suspended in the imperial study.
"Where is the demon, dare to break into the palace?!"
The old eunuch shouted, and unexpectedly pulled out a narrow sword from the dust, and a dodge blocked in front of Emperor Hui.
He turned out to be a master of martial arts!
"You...... Who are you? ”
Emperor Hui looked at the burning fire dragon in the air, and his face also showed a shocked look, this was the first time he had seen such a strange appearance in his life.
After all, in the palace, the fire of red dust is at its peak, and demons and monsters can't get close to it at all, even if a cultivator enters the palace, he will be suppressed by the fire of red dust and the luck of the emperor, and his mana will be lost, no different from ordinary people.
As a result, as an emperor, he hadn't actually seen any spells, at most he had only heard about them.
"Aren't you looking for me?"
The fire dragon looked down at Emperor Hui condescendingly, and the flames around him "snorted", making a majestic sound.
"You...... Are you Bai Ze?! How did you get into the palace! The old eunuch shouted in shock, and his hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
He wasn't afraid of death.
He was only afraid that the sword in his hand would not be able to protect the person behind him.
"I can come if I want, who can stop me?"
The fire dragon glanced at him, and then the pair of flame dragon ball-like eyes stared at Emperor Hui, and said lightly: "Whether the national fortune is long-lasting depends on the will of heaven and the will of the people. Those who are diligent in government and love the people will naturally come from generation to generation. Wanting to suppress the national fortune and prolong the national glory through foreign objects is just a fool's dream. ”
Emperor Hui's body trembled, thoughtfully, then took a deep breath, arched his hand and said, "I ...... Taught. ”
The fire dragon coiled in the air and said: "I see that you are diligent in government affairs, and you are good at governing the country, and you are barely a good emperor, so I will spare your life today, but ...... The death penalty can be avoided, but the living sin cannot be escaped! ”
Rushing!
As the words fell, the flames soared, illuminating the entire imperial study, and even the firelight was reflected outside.
"There are assassins!!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Outside, the roar of the guards rang out, and then the sound of hurried footsteps and armor clashing, from far and near.
However, what is the use of this?
Far water can't save a near fire, and even if it comes, what's the use, as long as the flame is strong enough, it can also evaporate the water!
"Boom!"
The old eunuch knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed with tears in his eyes, and said, "Please be gracious and let your majesty go!" It is my slander to Your Majesty, and the blame lies with me, and Your Majesty is innocent! ”
"Bang bang bang!"
He kowtowed so hard that his forehead was bleeding.
"Li Quan!"
Emperor Hui shouted, pulled it up, then took two steps forward, held his head high and said: "Today's matter is just a matter of success and defeat, since Your Excellency has come to the door, I have nothing to say, let it be disposed of!" ”
"Good!"
The fire dragon's eyes shone brightly, and then he swooped down and pierced directly through Emperor Hui's body!
Hui Di's body froze.
"Your Majesty!!"
The old eunuch let out a terrible roar and quickly came over to support Emperor Hui, but found that there was no wound on the other party's chest.
"Whoa!"
The fiery dragon circled in the air and dissipated, leaving only a majestic voice echoing through the study.
"Chop you to live for three years, punish you with a small punishment and a big warning, so that you can do it yourself."
After a few seconds, Emperor Hui slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead.
"I ...... Not dead? ”
He said in a trembling voice, and then his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground. The old eunuch also had weak legs, and sat on the ground, feeling like he was going to live for the rest of his life.
The master and servant sat on the ground and looked at each other, and after a little silence, they both burst out laughing!
"Hahahaha......"
"Hahahaha......"
In any case, it is a great joy to pick up a life, and what could be more joyful?
"Bang!"
"Your Majesty, here we are!"
At this moment, the men of the Imperial Study were kicked open, and a group of armored guards with knives and spears rushed in.
"It's okay, let's all go out."
Emperor Hui glanced at everyone, waved his hand and said.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Retire from your duties!"
The guards quickly retreated, even closed the door, and ran away in a state of panic.
They broke down the door and saw His Majesty and the Grand Steward sitting on the ground without any figures...... Is this what they should be watching? If you see something you shouldn't see, if you don't run quickly, I'm afraid your life will be gone.
"Li Quan, you say, I was really cut off three years of life?"
After a long time, Emperor Hui asked.
The old eunuch was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Judging from that person's supernatural powers, I'm afraid ...... It's true. ”
"Well, if you do something wrong, you should pay for it. If someone offends me, I'm afraid their heads will be cut off, and that person is already very magnanimous in comparison. Hui Di let out a breath and chuckled.
The old eunuch nodded silently.
"I just don't know how he got into the palace." Emperor Hui's eyes showed a look of doubt, it stands to reason that no matter how strong the monster is, it is impossible to completely ignore the red dust fire of the palace, at least there will be a conflict.
But that one came in silently, and the red dust fire of the palace didn't react at all.
It's like...... The house was stolen, but the dog who took care of the home was lying on the ground, turning a blind eye.
"Perhaps...... Something to do with the canonization of Wensheng? The old eunuch guessed boldly.
"Well, it's quite possible." Hui Di nodded.
That "The Biography of Bai Ze" has been out for more than 70 years, and now it has already spread to all the major countries of the human race, it can be said that Bai Ze's name is known all over the world, and most people have respect.
In this way, perhaps imperceptibly, it affected the fire of red dust in the world, so that the fire of red dust had kindness to him......
I have to say that these two are still very smart.
But they were only half right.
The red dust fire in the world does have kindness to Bai Ze, but it is not because of "The Biography of Bai Ze", or rather, not only because of that book.
The most fundamental reason is that when the Moon Wheel Dynasty destroyed the country before, he quelled the demon disaster and saved the red dust fire of that country.
The fire of red dust in the world is probably connected.
The fires of the red dust of that kingdom are grateful to him, and the fires of the red dust of other places are the same, treating him as their own.
If a certain "watchdog" can speak, he will definitely say to him, as long as you don't go too far, you can take whatever I want!
After all, it's the same kind.
