Chapter 3: The Ancient Sword
Xiao Chen lay on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time. His eyes were closed, and his mind was full of images of the Xiao family's death. The shocking scene during the day left a psychological shadow on him.
He sighed, "It's miserable. ”
Then he remembered his situation and sat up abruptly from the bed. He scratched his head, "Something is wrong, something is very wrong. ”
Rummage through yourself for clues. After all, the events of this day are too weird.
He touched it for a long time and found a small purse around his waist, "What is this?" ”
He opened the purse, and a small miniature ancient sword poured out of it.
There's something strange about this thing. He stretched out his hand and touched it, but he didn't expect that this small miniature ancient sword was so sharp that it cut his fingers. He screamed and quickly covered it with his hand, but a drop of blood dripped into the ancient sword and then disappeared.
Then, his head sank and he fainted.
He fell on the bed, and the small miniature ancient sword turned into a ray of light and drilled into his eyebrows. Suddenly, his sea of consciousness was in chaos.
Xiao Chen was in a coma and let out a groan, "Ah." ”
Obviously, that small miniature ancient sword was ravaging his sea of consciousness, making him have a splitting headache and be very painful.
Soon, sweat soaked through his clothes.
I don't know how long it took, but he woke up and found that his body was exhausted and collapsed. He got out of bed weakly, walked to the table, picked up the teapot, and poured water into his mouth desperately. It took a whole pot of water to quench my thirst.
He closed his eyes, and in the sea of knowledge, he saw the ancient sword hanging from it. When I opened my eyes, the scene in the room was clear again.
He swallowed, "What the hell is this?" ”
He searched in the memory of the original owner, and this ancient sword seemed to have been worn by him since birth. He didn't know what it was, he thought it was just an ornament.
However, Xiao Chen had a trace of his own conjecture.
In this world, there are monks, great Confucians, warlocks, and sword cultivators.
This ancient sword may be left over from some kind of sword cultivation, because in the sea of his knowledge, that ancient sword exudes an incomparably powerful sword aura, but it is only now converging.
But just by contemplating it from afar, he could feel a splitting headache.
Xiao Chen sat on the stool and took a deep breath, "It seems that this original owner has a big secret on his body, and this secret is coveted even by the emperor of the Dawu Dynasty." ”
And Xiao Chen speculated that this big secret was very likely to be related to the ancient sword in his body. As long as he unlocked the secret of this ancient sword, maybe he would be able to find the answer.
At the moment, he only felt very tired. He went back to bed, and as soon as he lay down, he fell asleep.
Soon, it was dawn. When the sun shines from the east side of the capital, the whole capital boils. Because of an astonishing news, spread from all directions.
Xiao Chen was recruited by Emperor Dawu as a concubine, and he could get married.
The name Xiao Chen is familiar to everyone in the capital, all because of his dissolute manners, spending all his time drinking, and he is a complete gentleman.
He was once called the first gentleman in the capital by the old master of the national school superintendent.
It's just such a person who was recruited as a colt.
For a while, everyone was a little uneasy.
But the random news shocked everyone even more. Just yesterday, Emperor Dawu ordered the Xiao family to be beheaded, on the grounds that General Xiao Yuan had treason and took refuge in the enemy.
Such astonishing news came out at the same time, which made people in the capital unbearable.
However, before everyone could react. The mighty team from the palace was already on their way to Xiao Mansion.
This festive team shook the sky with gongs and drums all the way, and it was very lively. Hundreds of people poured into the streets, stopping to watch.
Soon, the team arrived in front of the Xiao Mansion. A eunuch got off his horse and gently pushed open the gate of the Xiao Mansion. The entire Xiao Mansion, the white paper all over the ground, made the old eunuch frown. It's obviously a festive day, but there is a blank paper all over the ground, what kind of system is this?
But the old eunuch did not dare to be angry. Because this is the concubine who Emperor Dawu named and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law. He shouted inside, "Master Pony, come out to meet you." ”
But there was no response for a long time, and it seemed that there was no one in the huge mansion.
The old eunuch had a hellish expression. He was so frightened that he hurriedly ran inside, if he couldn't bring Xiao Chen to the palace today. I'm afraid that this old eunuch is about to fall to the ground. He panicked, for fear of losing his head.
When he came to Xiao Chen's room, he pushed the door open vigorously, only to find that Xiao Chen was sleeping soundly under the covers. He was angry and glad. This bastard, who died his whole family yesterday, is a colt today, but he sleeps like a pig like a nobody.
The old eunuch's face was complicated for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
He walked in and woke up Xiao Chen, "Master Horse, wake up." ”
Xiao Chen was in a daze when he heard someone calling him. He was sleepy, and his backhand was a slap in the face, "Get out, don't bother Lao Tzu." ”
He hit someone in his dream, but he slapped the old eunuch.
The old eunuch was so angry and annoyed that he almost collapsed. He roared angrily, "Master Pony, get up." ”
As he spoke, he pulled the quilt off with a hard pull.
Xiao Chen woke up at this time, he opened his eyes and saw a thin little old man. The old man, without a beard, was feminine and had a thick powder on his face. He only glanced at it, and then he felt a chill in his heart.
This is the eunuch.
He guessed it at a glance.
Xiao Chen then remembered what the red tassel said last night. It seems that he is really going to become a colt.
He sat up from the bed and said with a smile: "Hello, dare to ask what to call it?" ”
The old eunuch's voice was high-pitched, and he shouted, "Old slave, Gonggong Li, I've seen Master Ma." It's time to change your clothes. ”
Then he made a look, and the palace maids behind him walked in together to change Xiao Chen's clothes.
Soon, Xiao Chen got better dressed and walked out of the room, looking dignified.
He glanced around and said, "You can go now." ”
Gonggong Li nodded, "The old slave will lead the way." ”
The group walked out of the Xiao Mansion. Xiao Chen sat in a sedan chair, and the mighty team returned the same way again. This time, the gongs and drums ascended to heaven.
Xiao Chen, who was in the sedan chair, found a letter in the sedan chair. The letter was addressed to him, but it was not signed, and it is not known who wrote it.
He opened it and looked at it quickly, and he thought it was funny.
I saw that the letter read, "Dog thief Xiao Chen, we are not with you." ”
This tone, this sourness, is completely jealousy.
Xiao Chen smiled, "I don't know who I'm going to marry, so that these people dare to take the risk of writing this letter to provoke me." ”
The procession of greeting relatives marched towards the palace.
At this time, in the palace, a woman dressed in red was staring at the mirror in a daze.
This woman is none other than the princess Wu Wan who is going to marry Xiao Chen this time, and she is a peerless beauty known as the first eldest princess of Dawu.
