Chapter 155: Year after Year
A valley not far from the capital of the Celestial Star Kingdom. Enchanting scenery. Pleasant view.
In fact. Feng Xiran and Huai Jin did not leave the Bamboo Wind Valley. They are only in front of the dust. It's just a trick.
There are two valley mouths in the Takekaze Valley. There is only one of the valleys with a bamboo forest at the door. There is another Taniguchi. At the other end of the valley. The entrance is at the foot of a mountain.
The wind swept them out of the green bamboo forest. Enter from the mouth of the mountain. After going around in circles. The carriage returned to Bamboo Wind Valley.
"The scenery here seems familiar. I felt like I had been here. Zhao Xu looked at the scenery around him. Frowning. Speak.
"How could you have been. Don't talk too much. to help move things. Zhao Yan said. Turn away.
Huai Jin and Feng Xi ran lifted Xiao Yi down from the carriage. Put on a stretcher. He was carried into the room again. Place on the bed. Only then did I take a break.
looked at Zhao Xu and Zhao Yan, who were busy outside. Huai Jin turned his head to Feng Xiran and said:
"How are you going to hide it from them? If they were a little more careful, they would find out. We came full circle. In fact, he never left Bamboo Wind Valley. There are two valley mouths in the Bamboo Wind Valley. One is covered by a green bamboo forest. The other is based on mountain passes. It's unique. ”
"This is the retreat of the master back then. The green bamboo forest is just for the sake of hiding people's eyes and ears. All those who come to harass the master will go to the bamboo forest to break the formation. But very few succeeded. Even if someone gets lucky. The master had already left through the other exit. They don't realize that there are actually two exits to the valley. Because of these two exits. Blocked by these houses. Feng Xiran said.
"That's actually fine. Huai Jin said. "It's just that we have to do our best to hide it from Zhao Xu and Zhao Yan. It's too hard. ”
"I wanted to send the two of them away. But I'm afraid you won't be able to do it alone. Invite someone else. I'm afraid I can't rely on it. That's all there is to it. Feng Xiran said.
"You trust me. Huai Jin listened to Feng Xiran's words. Hold his hand. asked faintly.
"So many years. Naturally, I can trust your medical skills. Feng Xiran nodded.
Listening to Feng Xiran, he replied without hesitation. Huai Jin smiled. There was a lot of determination in his eyes. She didn't know how long it would take her. But she knew. She won't let them have anything to do. No matter for whom.
Feng Xiran and the other group of five people settled down on the other side of the Bamboo Wind Valley. As a healing place for Xiao Yat. It's a beautiful place. The air is fresh. Rather, it is the retreat of Mo's predecessors. The valley has it all. There is even a hot spring nestled in the mountains. It's steaming all year round.
The climate in the valley is stable. Perennial constant temperature. The four seasons are like spring; Only the cicadas and birds chirp crisp and pleasant. Away from the hustle and bustle of the world. It's also a good place to recuperate.
Zhao Xu and Zhao Yan naturally didn't know how far they were from the capital of the Heavenly Star Kingdom. Go out from the green bamboo forest at the end of the Bamboo Wind Valley. It's just a day's work. will be able to return to the capital of the Heavenly Star Kingdom.
From the first night they settled down. Xiao Yat and Feng Xiran began to soak in the medicinal bath at the same time. Feng Xiran is to dredge the muscles and bones. It is convenient to heal Xiao Yat in the future. And Xiao Yat is to repair the skin burned by gunpowder.
His sad Huaijin has seen it. Because he was wearing clothes. It plays a certain protective role. So the burns weren't that bad. The most serious area is the face. Burns on the body. Those areas that are not too serious. It can be slowly recovered through medication. And especially serious places. Then you need to change the skin. The other one needs to be skinned. It's the face.
Huai Jin had already studied the steps and methods for treating Xiao Yi. Start by repairing the skin on your body. On the one hand, the meridians were continued for Xiao Yat. And the poison of Zhilanrui in his body from time to time. It depends on the strong internal force of Feng Xiran. in order to be temporarily suppressed.
Time passes slowly. Everything is going according to plan. Zhao Yan and Zhao Xu became Huai Jin's assistants. Mainly helped Xiao Yat change dressing and soak in medicinal baths. And Feng Xiran suppressed the toxicity for Xiao Yat every time. Some of the true qi in the body will be lost. You need to rely on medicated baths and other methods to recover.
Huai Jin kept his treatment method very tight. Except for the wind. No one knows. Zhao Yan and Zhao Xu only saw Huai Jin's time except for Xiao Yi's consultation and dressing change. I studied medicine every day. The face is serious. Scrupulous.
Spring goes and autumn comes. Time flies.
It's a long process. It's also a painful process. Yat Siu in the process of treatment. Most were unconscious. So what went through. He himself didn't know.
When Zhao Yan and Zhao Xu saw that the burned parts of Xiao Yi's body were slowly getting better. The flame of hope in my heart is also getting bigger and bigger. The expectation for Huai Jin is also getting more and more.
It's all there. Naturally, Qingchen doesn't know. She kept her promise with Yat Shaw. According to what Feng Xiran said. As Mu Qingchen, the jade hook princess of the Heavenly Star Country. Return to the court. The right to "Mu Qingjue" is elevated. and Lou Xiyu are ostensibly-for-tat. In fact, it works tacitly. Uproot all the tumors hidden in the Heavenly Star and the original Condensing Moon Kingdom court.
The stars and the moon are unified. From then on, there was only one court in the world. There is only one emperor. The territories of the two countries were merged. Redistricting of states and counties. Transfer of officials. In the past, the Jingguan of the Ningyue Kingdom was also transferred to Tianxing to become a high-ranking official. There are also high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Star Kingdom who go to the place where Ning Yue is a petty official.
Open the imperial examination. Meritocracy. Cultivating talents for the country......
All of it. It's all going on in an orderly manner. Qingchen will make himself busy. Because it's only when it's busy. She will forget the people who are far away for a while. Forget the one who was willing to do it for her. The man who gave up his life.
She told herself. When she fulfilled his wish. When there is no longer a moon and stars in this world. but when it becomes a truly unified state. He will definitely appear in front of him. Smile at her.
The courtiers also said that Mu Qingchen was the chicken Si Chen. It is also said that she wants to emulate the abolished queen Zhong Wanyu. But the dust was unmoved. Kill the deserved. It should be used. The means are vigorous and resolute. Cruel to the extreme. But it's also extremely effective. Let the courtiers tremble. It also made Lou Xiyu feel sorry.
"Dust. You're a daughter. Why are you pushing yourself to such a point? Lou Xiyu couldn't help it. So asked.
"Troubled times are not the same as ruling the world. Governing the world requires benevolence, virtue and virtuousness. Troubled times need a tyrant with iron-blooded means. Only in this way can the world be stabilized. It's because I'm a daughter. I have no intention of becoming the empress of the Central Plains. I don't need a name for the ages...... What the history books of later generations say about me. It doesn't matter. Qingchen said. "But you're different. You will be enthroned in the future. Be the way you always are. Govern the world with benevolence. You can't carry any stigma on you. I am the one who put you in this position. I'm going to leave you a rule. And not troubled times. ”
Qingchen's words. Let Lou Xiyu feel deeply. He knows. Qingchen is really thinking about this country. After his accession to the throne, he was considered.
Since then. Lou Xiyu did not persuade Qingchen again. Just write down the names of all the courtiers who pointed at Qingchen. What did they say. What was done. I remember it all clearly. He doesn't have to be in this world. But if one day he does sit in that position. He needs to make a name for the dust. In the history books. There should be no unfavorable evaluation of dust cleaning.
Heavenly host. I don't know how many times it has changed. Time flies.
When the emperor, who was said to have been given a chronic poison by the deposed queen, came to the court again. But it was to agree to an outrageous request from Princess Jade Hook.
"Brother Qiqi. For example, it is predetermined today. However, it cannot be ruled out that there are some rebellious ministers and thieves who are plotting against each other. To mess with me, the country is good. Qingchen said. "Sister, please take your life. Please give the sword of Shang Fang to the courtier. Sister Rong Chen went out on patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Behead corrupt officials. Zhu Yuchen. Punish the wicked. In order to determine the Central Plains of the world. To be loyal to the soul of the people. ”
As soon as this statement came out. The courtiers were shocked.
Holding the sword of Shang Fang. Power is like a chakra. It has the right to cut first and then play. If it is said that in the past, Mu Qingchen was in the court, and there was Lou Xiyu who restrained each other with her. Then to the folk. Hasn't it become Mu Qingchen's world alone. Let her do whatever she wants.
Not to mention. Since ancient times, there have been no women as officials in the Central Plains. Now Mu Qingchen is more than a substitute. There is already a violation of the ancestral system. But he still has to fight Shang Fang's sword.
Just when the courtiers were going to play. When Mu Qingchen's request was rejected. But I heard the emperor who was said to be seriously ill. Suddenly, he said two words with a lot of anger:
"Quasi-play. ”
"Sister, thank you, Brother Huang. Mu Qingchen thanked him. He took Shang Fang's sword from his father-in-law behind Mu Qingjue. Then he left the main hall without looking back. It was very chic.
And after Qingchen left. Mu Qingjue also announced his retirement from the dynasty. returned to Weiyang Palace to recuperate.
Serve. The government is managed by Wang Lou and Xiyu alone. Because the territory expanded. Many people think that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. And Lou Xiyu is far away in the capital. Then they did something that violated the law and discipline. Forming a party for personal gain. Strong people's daughters. or taking bribes......
Some even climbed to the rank of official in the DPRK. Collusion with each other. But no one thought about it. The king seems to have clairvoyance and ears. It doesn't matter what happens in any small place. It can reach his ears very quickly. Then he began to attack the courtiers in Kyochu.
And at the beginning, the courtiers who had a fluke mentality because of the idea of "the mountain is high and the emperor is far away". For a time, everyone was at risk. I am afraid that my own affairs will be detected by Lou Xiyu.
And what everyone doesn't know is. Mu Qingchen held Shang Fang's sword. Volunteered to be Lou Xiyu's eyes and ears. While walking the rivers and lakes. Punish evil and promote good. By the way, deal with the corrupt officials in the court. Then report to Lou Xiyu. The two of them are in Ming. One is in the dark. Seamless cooperation.
Because of this. Even though the territory of the Celestial Star Kingdom has doubled. It's harder to manage. But those officials still didn't dare to have any selfish motives. Because they don't know. Side by side with the sword in the hand of the king. When will it fall on your own head.
The ruler of the Celestial Star Kingdom. Gradually began to be clear. Up and down the court. It was awe-inspiring. Wenchen has a backbone. The generals are arrogant. And the shadows in the hearts of the people because of the war. It also fades away. until it is gone.
