Chapter 4: Youthful Sorrow
By this time, the sunset had receded, and it was already completely dark.
Zi Xiao looked at the sky, then at the bottom of the dark cliff, and after a faint sigh, he turned his face to Guiyan beside him, and suggested: "Guiyan, let's go back first, otherwise, we should be guilty of another degree."
When Guiyan heard this, he suddenly wilted, and he lost all the vigor and fighting spirit just now, he pursed his lips, sank his eyebrows, and replied in a low voice: "Okay, look for it another day, if you hit my Qiankun circle, it won't be able to escape."
The two teenagers cleared the smoke and left, and went to the Yongzheng Palace where the prince Qingtian lived to report their homework routinely......
Zi Xiao and Gui Yan appeared in front of the gate of the Yongzheng Palace of the Crown Prince, and the guards standing on both sides of the palace gate respectfully saluted, with a panicked mood and a sad face, they walked straight into the palace in disregard.
The Chenghua Hall is brightly lit. In front of the palace gate, Zi Xiao and Guiyan hesitated and hesitated.
At this time, a cold and deep voice came from the hall, "What?
Zi Xiao and Gui Yan didn't dare to rub in, and hurriedly pushed the door in, Gui Yan tripped over the threshold and almost fell, Zi Xiao hurriedly reached out to support him.
The study room of Chenghua Palace, surrounded by tall bookshelves on three sides, is neatly stacked with all kinds of books, and the desk is also full of books, and a Rui beast incense burner is spitting out cigarettes......
A few days after the case, there sat a majestic and noble young man, who was full of the calm and majestic aura of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and not changing color, which made people feel unprovoked in front of him, and he felt afraid to make a mistake and ashamed of himself.
The man wore long hair like a waterfall, wearing a loose yellow dragon-patterned robe, the texture of the silk robe was soft and elegant, and it shone brightly under the candlelight, setting off the man's angular and handsome face, which was more elegant and shining.
Obviously, the man had just finished bathing, with a lazy attitude that had just come out of the bath, he squinted his slender and deep eyes slightly, and a sharp look came out of his eyes, looking straight at the brothers who came in.
Zi Xiao and Gui Yan timidly walked to the bookcase, decent, and knelt down in unison to greet: "Brother Chen, meet Brother Prince, congratulations to Brother Prince on his triumphant return!"
The young man snorted lightly in response, and picked up the book in his hand again.
This young man is the prince of the Celestial Clan--- Qingtian, the eldest son of the Celestial Monarch and the Queen of Heaven, and has had high hopes since birth. He was gifted, and when he was young, he was taken away from his parents and sent to various masters to learn various skills, and he was a proud disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun. At the age of 25,000, he followed the holy war god Xuanyuan to train with the army, and gradually led the army to the point where he led the army alone.
In the past 10,000 years, whenever there have been major wars and demon suppression, there have been many figures of the prince Qingtian himself. Under his rectification, the heavenly army is invincible. In the past 4,000 years, the Heavenly Monarch has successively handed over the government affairs and folding tables and seals on the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to him for approval. Qingtian is very diligent, busy day and night, and the official affairs handled are also proper and fair, so that Tianjun is very satisfied and trusting, and Tianjun is also happy to enjoy the freedom of gradually letting go. Not only does he have the talent of the world, but he also has the heart of the world, and he is the future lord of the Nine Heavens, who has long been recognized as having both virtue and ability, and is deeply loved.
Gui Yan peeked at his eldest brother with his spare light, but unfortunately, he met with Qingtian's sharp gaze, Gui Yan suddenly felt his heart tremble, his heart was cold, he lowered his head in a panic, and he didn't dare to look at his own eldest brother again. Fortunately, he didn't see any bad emotions on the eldest brother's face, Guiyan sighed secretly, and his heart was a little calmer.
The crown prince Qingtian looked at the book and said casually, "Get up and talk...... Tell me, where did you go so late?Did you deliberately avoid Benjun?".
After Xie En stood up, Gui Yan hurriedly shook his hand, shook his head and hurriedly explained: "Brother Chen didn't dare to hide from Brother Prince, we, we went to Xuanqi Mountain."
Qingtian narrowed his phoenix eyes, stared at Guiyan's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Xuanqi Mountain, go there, what are you doing?"
"Do it...... Do it?", the prince's brother's sharp gaze seemed to be able to pierce his soul, Guiyan was flustered in his heart, he was speechless for a while, twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, he still didn't know how to express it?
Seeing that Guiyan was asked, Zi Xiao hurriedly interjected to help, "Back to the prince's brother, let's go to practice, these days are a little difficult, go to Xuanqi Mountain to find some inspiration to solve the difficulties, hoping to understand some Xuande truth."
Guiyan's eyes lit up, and he echoed, "Yes, yes, I'm looking for inspiration."
Qing Tian glanced at the brothers and snorted coldly, it was obvious that he didn't believe the brothers' nonsense.
Feeling that the prince's brother didn't believe it, Guiyan hurriedly explained again: "Also, because of a very peculiar and strange incident, a little white deer flew out of the Xuanqi Pond, and we went to catch it...... So, I missed the time to come back."
"The white deer flew out of the Xuanqi Pond?", Qingtian raised his head, his brows furrowed, repeating Guiyan's words, his tone obviously a lot colder.
Obviously, the prince's brother didn't believe what he said at all, and he must have thought that he was making things up, after all, this encounter was indeed too bizarre, and this thing was too incredible and incredible. If you are found to be lying, the consequences are even more serious.
Thinking of this, Guiyan was busy and explained in more detail: "It's really a little white deer, we can see it clearly, it flew up to the sky with a bang from the pool and fell to the ground again, and Brother Qi and I didn't catch it for a while." I was bitten by it, Brother Prince, you see...... However, I caught it in a trap, but unfortunately it escaped", Guiyan puffed out his face angrily, holding his wounded wrist to show Qingtian, to show that he was not lying.
Knowing that Brother Prince hated lying the most, Zi Xiao also hurriedly added, "Yes, Brother Prince, there is also a green bird flying out of Xuanyu Pond...... Bird, oh, by the way, the green bird is here", Zi Xiao said, taking out the still unconscious green bird wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve, and holding it in both hands to Qingtian.
Optimus casually glanced at the green bird, a look of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes, and he confirmed that the green bird lying in the pa had indeed never been seen in the Nine Heavens.
There have been some mysterious and mysterious things in the Xuanqi Holy Land in the past, but it is too outrageous to be able to fly deer and birds from the pool, but seeing that the brothers don't look like lying, thinking that they still have a lot of recitals to criticize, Qingtian doesn't want to continue this topic anymore, he turned to a cold voice and asked: "How have you completed your recent schoolwork and the two scriptures that you arranged to memorize last time?"
After listening to the question, Zi Xiao and Guiyan were short of breath and weak in heart, their heads were drooping, their eyes were uncertain, and after struggling for a long time, they trembled and replied weakly and truthfully: "The scriptures, I haven't memorized them."
Zi Xiao and Gui Yan didn't dare to lie, because their prince brother always had the ability to understand the truth, and lying was simply asking for trouble.
Qingtian's eyes were suddenly dyed with a layer of anger, and the cold aura on his body blew the candles on the desk flickering, flickering and dimming, and he glared at the two younger brothers who were not angry.
"It is said that determination is the driving force for learning, and where there is a will, there is a way, what do you say, what is your ambition? Tell Benjun, in addition to playing with your heart, what else do you have in your heart?...... Flowers have a reblooming day, no one is young, the good time is wasted, at this age can not have a plan, a little homework to worry about this ghost, don't you feel ashamed?...... In the face of the demon clan who sharpens the sword and the Northern Heavenly Court that is eyeing me, it is no longer time to wait for me, and you are still being the demon king of the mixed world, you have no ambition, no learning and no skills, what can you be expected to do in the future? As a child of the heavenly family, where is your sense of responsibility?
Zixiao and Guiyan had already knelt down again after being scolded, frightened and frightened, dripping in cold sweat, and did not dare to look at the angry eldest brother.
After Qingtian finished scolding, he looked down at his two younger brothers who had taken his words as a deaf ear and were already trembling, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness for Niu to play the piano, he let out a long sigh, and said a little helplessly: "Alas, you are both about to become elm lumps, and you can't get water and salt in...... It's really a teenager who doesn't know what it's like to be sad, but he says it's sad to do schoolwork...... Since you two don't take what you say to heart at all, and you know your mistakes, but you don't know how to repent sincerely, then don't blame my brother for being ruthless, and always have to follow the rules in everything."
With a "bang", a ring more than a foot long was thrown in front of Zi Xiao and Guiyan, and Qing Tian said sharply: "You two, each play twenty boards...... To beat you is to make you remember for a long time, to know how to do what you say you need, and to make a promise worth a thousand dollars! Understand that there is a price to pay for making mistakes! Understand that if you do not fulfill your responsibilities, you will be like a living and dead walking meat!"
Zi Xiao and Gui Yan wanted to beg for mercy but didn't dare to speak, so they looked at each other pitifully......
hesitated and hesitated, and in the end, Zi Xiao had no choice but to pick up the ring first.
The sound of "slap, slap, slap" was accompanied by "ahh......h Don't dare anymore" with a crying voice begging for mercy resounded in the sky above the Chengde Hall of Yongzheng Palace......
