18 chapters of chaos
Chongzhen, wearing a brass mask, walked out of the room, took a big breath into the crisp morning air, a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then strode into the courtyard.
Everyone in the courtyard was full of surprise, he walked to Princess Changping disappreciatively, stretched out his hand on his daughter's shoulder, and said, "I will be a good father in the future, and the family will always be safe." ”
Princess Changping felt the apology in Chongzhen's heart, and the last bit of gloom in her heart disappeared, and she returned with a faint smile.
Chongzhen sighed in his heart, bowed deeply when he looked at Li Tian and Feng Xiaowu, and said sincerely, "The two immortal masters risked their lives to stay in the capital division, all for the safety of my family, and this kindness is unforgettable. ”
Feng Xiaowu smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite, saving mortals is what a cultivator should do." ”
Li Tian asked Chongzhen, "What are you doing with a copper mask?"
Chongzhen smiled bitterly and sighed, "These days, every time I think of the past seventeen years, I realize that I am not the material to be the emperor, and because I am ashamed to see the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, I made a mask to cover my face. ”
Li Tian remembered the people's evaluation of Chongzhen, nodded and said, "It's good to be an ordinary person sincerely, the people just want to live a peaceful life." ”
He didn't think the dead emperor was annoying, and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Chongzhen sighed and said, "I have already decided not to go to Jiangnan, and then settle in the mountains near Jingshi, and be an ordinary farmer for the rest of my life." ”
Li Banghua hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, if you don't go to Jiangnan for anything, it will never be easy to survive in the territory of the traitors." ”
Chongzhen smiled lightly, "Li Aiqing still can't understand, if Li Zicheng is really a person who wins the world, then there will be a big war in the south of the Yangtze River, and my decision is for everyone's safety." ”
He raised his hand to stop Li Banghua from speaking, and said angrily, "If Li Zicheng is really the lord of this country, you are willing to be his subordinate people." I only hope that this day will be peaceful sooner, and my Zhu family's bloodline will not be wiped out. ”
Li Tian nodded and said, "The situation outside is not stable now, when the time is right, my senior sister and I will take you out of the city again, and when your family really finds a foothold, I will take Princess Changping back to the sect." ”
When Chongzhen heard Li Tian's words, he reluctantly looked at Princess Changping and said, "Hui Yuan, my father supports you to cultivate immortals, there is no pure land of peace in this troubled world, and only immortals can get real freedom." ”
Princess Changping was a little reluctant to leave home at this time, and what she was most willing to live with her family was. The current father is determined to be a good father, so he has become hesitant in his heart.
She looked at Li Tian out of the corner of her eye, sighed quietly in her heart, and said, "Father, Hui Yuan really doesn't want to leave, but she is very afraid of this troubled world, so she still wants to be at ease with the death of the two immortal masters." ”
"But the daughter will not leave until she has rescued her three brothers, and they will be filial to you in the future. ”
Chongzhen said sadly, "Go and accompany your mother and sister more, it's all your father's incompetence." Can't give you a stable home. ”
Princess Changping saluted Chongzhen and walked to the room where Queen Zhou was, Zhaoren was a little infected with wind and cold these days, so he didn't come out to play.
Chongzhen watched with pity as Princess Changping entered the room. Suddenly, he said to Li Tian and Feng Xiaowu, "Is there really no way for the two immortal masters to save my three children?"
Feng Xiaowu shook her head sympathetically and said, "We really don't have mana, and we can't save people under the protection of the army. ”
Chongzhen said with a sad expression, "It's all my incompetence that has caused the current result of the country's ruin." Now I don't force to save the three princes, I just hope that the two immortal masters will protect my beloved daughter Changping and live a safe life. ”
Feng Xiaowu comforted, "Sister Hui Yuan and I are Jinlan sisters, as long as we return to the Qingxia Sect." I will definitely guide her in her cultivation carefully. ”
Chongzhen said some words of gratitude to the two of them, and then went to the stone bench in the courtyard with Li Banghua to sit down, and asked the servants to bring tea and put it on the stone table.
He reflected on his own mistakes very bluntly, and even said that he might have misunderstood Yuan Chenghuan back then, and the more he talked, the more he sighed, only to feel that he was the only faint monarch in the Ming Dynasty.
Li Banghua tried his best to persuade Chongzhen to stop blaming himself so much.
But after Chongzhen put on the mask, he seemed to be a different person, and he looked at his own mistakes completely from an outsider's perspective, and he did not hesitate to say it.
He even wept over the execution of Yuan Chonghuan that year, feeling that he was too impulsive and killed a capable general without further investigation.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely heavy all of a sudden, and Li Tian and Feng Xiaowu were bored, so they went back to their respective rooms to cultivate.
Princess Changping entered the room and told her what had just happened, Empress Zhou smiled with relief, but Yuan Guifei on the side was dissatisfied, "The emperor was not frightened by Li Chuang's traitor, so he wanted to hide." ”
Empress Zhou reprimanded, "Concubine Yuan, don't talk nonsense, the emperor is for the peace of the people in the world, and he is definitely not afraid of traitors." ”
Yuan Guifei said angrily, "Daming still has a capital in Jiangnan, at least he can rule with Li Chuang, and the emperor doesn't want such a good opportunity." ”
Empress Zhou shook her head, sighed lightly, and said to Changping again, "Yuan'er is really a blessing, to be able to cultivate with two immortals, even if you can't become an immortal, you will live a comfortable life." ”
She had already learned from Chongzhen that Li Tian and Feng Xiaowu had fallen from the sky, and she had also asked Princess Changping for verification, but Yuan Guifei and Liu and Li Jian still didn't know how much they would do, otherwise they didn't know how many things would have to come about.
Princess Changping was reluctant, but she didn't know how many days she would have to wait to leave the capital, so she chatted with Queen Zhou and others, and the room was happy.
In the next few days, Li Jianwo did not go out of the mansion, although he did not dare to entangle Feng Xiaowu and Princess Changping openly, but he also tried his best to please them.
It's just that no matter whether he tells jokes or cooks food, it turns out to be all in vain, and the two girls don't pay attention to him at all, but hate this person even more.
Li Tian continued to practice internal strength, and the true qi in the dantian gradually thickened, and found that when using the ordinary version of the Dugu Nine Swords, the true qi and mystical power could be mixed and increased to enhance the power.
It's just that the amount of mystical power has not increased, and he is helpless about this situation, presumably because the Bright God Sect can't affect Shenzhou.
However, in the past few days of cultivation, Li Tian had a problem, as long as he practiced meditation to the deep realm, some voices would sound in his mind from time to time.
These sounds are all English prayers, and I can't hear them clearly intermittently, so I can only vaguely write down a few nouns, but I don't quite understand the meaning of these words.
He had a vague sense that Senna's baptism of light had other meanings, but the pope was dead, so he didn't care about the voice in his head, and it only rang for a short time last night before it stopped.
On the tenth day when Chongzhen's family lived in Li Banghua's courtyard, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion fled back in horror and told everyone that the entire Jingshi had fallen into a terrible accident. (To be continued......)
