Chapter 28: Things Are Wrong

He nodded, walked out of the room and closed the door, then walked downstairs and left the pharmacy, only to reach the snowy street before turning back and silently looking into the room.

Xiao Yibai - this person will not be silent about all kinds of doubts in front of him whenever he changes his identity in his life, but this person is his only blood brother, and he is the most important existence in his childhood memory.

Although Tianzheng Mansion is also the gate lord of the Imperial Capital City, it is still very different from Gao Chengchuan, and their mother Feng Yao was the fiancée of Gao Chengchuan's eldest son, Gao Beichen.

Gao Chengchuan pressed the two brothers step by step, in addition to the secret mediation with the crown prince, the marriage turmoil more than ten years ago may also be the fuse of grievances.

It was originally a much-anticipated family marriage, Feng Yao was arranged by her parents, holding a guqin in her arms and preparing to play it for the soldiers who defended the country at the annual banquet of the three armies, and the young and promising Gao Beichen naturally participated in it, who expected that this well-designed encounter turned into another unexpected love at first sight, and the object of her heart was not Gao Beichen, the fiancé who was praised by her parents, but Xiao Lingyun, the lord of the military pavilion, who sat on the other side and drank and sang with the soldiers.

No one thought that the first time a pampered girl chose to rebel against her parents was for her own lifelong event, she did not hesitate to regret her marriage, and insisted on marrying Xiao Lingyun at the cost of severing the relationship and leaving the cabinet in the second year. And Tianzheng Mansion is also increasingly experiencing a run.

When he was young, he didn't know about his father's complicated past, and it was only after he entered school with all the children of the same age that he faintly felt rejection, and those deliberately unfamiliar eyes and avoided actions were deeply engraved in his childhood, and he still feels uncomfortable to this day.

His only playmate is this twin brother Xiao Yibai, when he is bullied, he always thinks about the consequences and considers whether he should fight back, although his martial arts talent is very high, but often does not control the strength well, at a young age, even a few instructors have to move the real style to practice, if you really want to do it, you may accidentally hurt people, every time he doesn't wait for him to figure it out, his brother, who has always liked to skip class, will suddenly come out of front of him, beat the other party indiscriminately, and even use spells to throw people to a high tree and hang them, It wasn't until the onlookers called out to the patrolling soldiers that they would grin and drag him away.

That's what Xiao Yibai looks like in his memory - gentle, powerful, will protect him, will accompany him, and is the only support in his lonely childhood.

Gradually, he began to get bored with the life of the imperial capital, his father noticed his sullen mood, so he threw him to his friend, the naval marshal Bailifeng on the grounds of exercise, he was forced to the sea, maybe there is a certain number in the dark, it was in that year's voyage that he met a Kunlun Mountain sword fairy chasing the sea devil, the little child saw for the first time the powerful swordsmanship far superior to the eight halls of the military aircraft, and for the first time deeply felt the true meaning of the sentence that there is a sky outside the sky, he willfully pleaded with his father, I hope to go to sea to study in Kunlun Mountain.

His father didn't want to agree, and he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of his mother and him, so he finally used his personal relationship to send him to Kunlun Mountain, thousands of miles away.

He still remembers the day he left, his brother stood at the door of the room and watched him pack his luggage, and said for a long time: "Come back early." ”

Decade...... Is 10 years really long? At least during those days in Kunlun Mountain, he never felt that ten years was a long time, because there was a beautiful and lovely girl, who replaced the appearance of his brother in his memory little by little, would accompany him, protect him, and even make him have some kind of ...... The throbbing that a teenager of this age should have.

It wasn't until he came back this time that he looked at the empty Tianzheng Mansion and had the illusion of a sudden separation, and for the first time he felt that ten years was really long, and it was enough to change a person and make that gentle and powerful brother strange.

Xiao Qianye suddenly raised his hand and subconsciously touched his neck, thinking of the mysterious person who helped a few days ago, at that moment he frantically wanted to remove the white jade mask on the other party's face, but he was always forced to retreat by the opponent at a moment of close range, just like when he was a child and his brother competed, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take the family crest in his brother's hand.

Is that him...... The second this question appeared, he already had the answer in his mind.

Xiao Qianye put down his hand and didn't look at the room again, the sword spirit was tightly held in the palm of his hand - it didn't matter who the mysterious person was, the important thing was that Xiao Yibai was his brother and his only brother.

Coming to Dengxian Road again, the sky lanterns in Xiao Qianye's eyes were silently extinguishing one by one, and the afterglow of dusk was warmly sprinkled on the white snowfield, but what came into his eyes was gloomy and cold.

The sword technique walked along the mountain road, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to be blocked by the cold wind and had to land, and after the people dispersed, the mountain road called "Dengxian Road" revealed the scene of hell, countless white bones stood up like a forest, and the patchwork was clattering, and there seemed to be a bundle of creepy eyes staring at this uninvited intruder in the empty eyes.

Xiao Qianye silently held the sword spirit, although this mountain road is not rugged, but after all, it is in the snow field with repeated climates, except for the snow lake sacrifice, there are often pious believers who are willing to risk their lives to come and pray for blessings, these hopeful people must not have expected that there will be no so-called "gods" to come to the rescue when they are in a desperate situation, and after they die, they will be turned into walking corpses by the "gods" in their hearts and stay in the Immortal Road forever, becoming puppets guarding the White Sect.

The sword qi began to sweep away the enemies in front of him, the form of these white bones has a very small difference, there are alien races and humans, in the education he received since childhood, alien races are inferior existences, such deep-rooted discrimination has not changed much even in an isolated place like Kunlun Mountain, and since the humans here are willing to degenerate and be in the company of aliens, the army will not meddle in their own affairs to protect their safety, this kind of thing you love me, you can't complain about anyone, He will not sympathize with the believers who have lost their minds by the deception of the people.

Since he came to Fulong Town a month ago, he has studied the terrain and climate of this area countless times, and the Thousand Machine Palace is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if he really wants to run, then it should be possible to let a warlock with advanced cultivation escort to retreat from the rear snow field, just in case, he originally wanted to transfer the first and second detachments of the patrolling White Tiger back to cut off their rear roads, and then lead the third team to attack, but a month has passed, not to mention the first and second detachments that have not been seen at all, and even the assembly of the third detachment is far from meeting expectations.

He can guess the hidden secret, but it is unbelievable, he is in the military cabinet, and he is here on the order of the crown prince, and Governor Gao can interfere with the sky with his hands and eyes, is it really as rumored that it is the existence of one person under ten thousand people, and even the Son of Heaven has to give three points?

Suddenly, some dusty history flickered in his mind out of place - when today's son is actually the fourth son of the first emperor, in Feiyuan, a country that does not follow the primogeniture inheritance system, the young and excellent fourth son of the emperor Ming Ze is undoubtedly one of the most powerful contenders for the throne, he was in distress on the way to personally lead troops to suppress bandits, and was accidentally rescued by the god of the Weeping Snow Plateau, and the ignorant feelings broke through the racial boundaries of thousands of years for the first time, and the four princes were moved by the gentle and beautiful woman in front of him, Regardless of the eyes of the world, he insisted on marrying her.

In order to compromise the stubborn Emperor, he promised not to let foreign blood "tarnish" the Ming Dynasty, and declared that he would retire from the imperial family forever.

The first person who couldn't sit still was not the first emperor who was still hesitating, but Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army who had secretly regarded the fourth son of the emperor as the heir to the throne for so many years, but until the end, even the powerful minister with a heavy army did not hesitate to threaten to resign, and the young fourth son of the emperor also insisted on marrying Wen Yi as his wife.

The turning point came from a conflict, when the crown prince Minglu who was at ease met Wen Yi, in the end he looked down on inferior aliens, he used the strength of wine to speak in public and sneered at it, and the matter quickly reached Mingze's ears, Mingze, who had suffered from cold eyes in recent years, smiled quietly, and a dangerous plan was growing irrepressibly in the bottom of his heart like a cancer - half a year later, Prince Minglu died violently, and a year later, the fourth son Mingze, who promised to quit the royal family, led the forbidden army to force the palace, no one expected, a prince who did not fight or rob, With the most violent means, the country was changed overnight.

The biggest contributor to this coup d'état is undoubtedly Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army, and it is with his secret help that the fourth son of the emperor, who was already powerless at that time, was able to force the palace to seize power under the nose of the forbidden army.

It's a pity that such a couple of deep feelings have not been able to resist the ravages of time, after ascending the throne, Ming Ze changed his previous modesty and elegance, he became tyrannical and suspicious, not only severely punished a group of royal nobles who insulted Wen Yi, but even the alien races who opposed this matter were also ordered to be killed by him, this may be the beginning of the cracks in the emperor's feelings, and after a few years, Queen Wen Yi died suddenly, leaving a young son who was only ten years old, because the queen was not sick or injured during her lifetime, and she was a forbidden place god who had received the power of the heavenly realm and had eternal life, Since then, this matter has become an unsolved case, and no one dares to mention it.

Perhaps out of nostalgia for his wife, Emperor Tianquan gave almost all his favoritism to their only child, not only gave Mingxi the crucial identity of "crown prince", but also asked him to assist in the management of the Mo Pavilion at the head of the three pavilions, and the only thing that he did not let him touch was military power, which should not be considered that the crown prince Mingxi was weak and sick since he was a child because of his biological mother's special bloodline, but secretly protected him from being persecuted by Gao Chengchuan by this euphemistic means.

Time passed day by day, and the good intentions of the year seemed to have begun to show results, and now Gao Chengchuan is still strong, but he did begin to be restricted by the young crown prince in all aspects.

What kind of thing is emotion? is like the former queen who became a taboo in confusion, like Yun Qiushui who has been alone for sixteen years and has never said anything about the past, and like the mother who married her father without hesitation but finally died in a mystery, what did they get from that relationship?

Xiao Qianye raised his hand in confusion and pressed his forehead hard, he knew that he shouldn't be distracted by such inconsequential things in such a dangerous place, but a vague shadow appeared more and more clearly in his eyes.

"Ah Xiao ......" Finally, he almost dreamed out a name in his heart, it was really strange, he had ten years to show his heart to that girl, but he always felt that he was an outsider, he reminded himself again and again that he would return to Feiyuan sooner or later, reminding himself that he could not be tempted by the people there, and when he really set foot on the way back to his hometown and returned to his homeland, he seemed to have his heart on the top of Kunlun, always thinking of her intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to see her again and hug her, Tell her that you liked her from the beginning.

Complicated thoughts came flooding for a while, Xiao Qianye shook his head quickly, obviously thinking of too many dusty pasts in this short distance made him a little upset.

He forced himself to calm down, after all, Gao Chengchuan, a name far away in the sky, is more troublesome than the Bai Sect in front of him, frankly speaking, even if he is still very ignorant and unfamiliar with everything in Feiyuan, he can vaguely feel the hidden mediation behind this mission, the god and religion of the alien people on the top of the mountain is not important, the important thing is whether he can get back the position of the military pavilion master, the crown prince who has never had military power...... Perhaps he wanted to turn some of the current situation around with his hand.

This is a very dangerous sign for him, which means that if he fails, he will not only face oppression from Gao Chengchuan, but also most likely lose the trust of the crown prince from then on.

There must be no failure...... Xiao Qianye held the snow-colored long sword tightly, his eyes were far sharper than just now, he didn't care about the wishful thinking of the crown prince and Governor Gao, but once the Tianzheng Mansion lost power, he and his eldest brother would face unprecedented danger.
