Chapter 51: Before Entering Beijing
"Oh?" Qu Yang raised his eyebrows.
"Tokens, there are two. If you dare to swear to the Heavenly Dao Stone that there is only one, I am willing to be your eternal disciple. Duan Hou Ye sneered.
"This ......" Qu Yang was speechless for a while.
"Don't play tricks anymore, or I'll say you won't survive today. Duan Hou Ye threatened.
"Then do you dare to swear? I, Qu Yang, don't believe you. Qu Yang said jealously, shaking the two tokens in his hand.
"Joke, do you know my title of Duan Ping?" said Duan Houye, his eyes staring straight at the two tokens, and one hand gently caressing Zixuan's right shoulder to show comfort.
"Of course, I promise a thousand dollars, but I still have to swear, I will abide by it" Qu Yang's guard relaxed a little.
"It's a deal. Duan Hou Ye said word by word.
Three days later.
"Big stupid, why aren't you awake yet, what a stupid person, you even dare to break into the Wanyue Branch. The Marquis of Linzi is a great monk of Daoxuan. Even your father-in-law, Lord Xiao Meng, an invincible existence in the rivers and lakes, can't afford to be seriously injured when he comes back from destroying the headquarters. Zi Xuan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Ximen Tian, whose face was white and colorless, and was wrapped in a big dumpling, and complained softly.
Hou Ye Duan didn't hold a paper fan this time, but quietly stood behind Zhao Zixuan with his hands behind his back. The truth, he only told half of it, and he was also involved in the battle of the waning moon. Six Dao Xuan Great Monks died at his hands, and he seemed to have suffered a slight injury, but in fact, he was ...... He remembered the scorpion-shaped lines on his arm, and what Chen Wou-ki, the first imperial physician of our time, had said.
"This disease, the power of the medicine stone is incomprehensible, only its own spiritual power can be resolved, and it can be recovered after twenty years. ”
Duan Hou Ye sighed in his heart, looking at the young man and girl in front of him, his heart was full of mixed feelings.
"Ahem. He coughed.
Zixuan immediately stood up like a frightened fawn.
"Uncle Duan, Duan Gongzi, how can you eavesdrop on other people's conversations. Zixuan said dissatisfied.
"Tell the princess, my subordinates see that the master of the horse has woken up. Duan Hou Ye smiled.
"Uncle Duan~ You laugh again... What?" Zi Xuan suddenly turned around. looked nervously at Ximen Tian.
"This is it. Ximentian's brain was drowsy, and the figure in front of him was blurry.
"Ximentian, you're awake!" Zixuan was so happy that she grabbed Ximentian's arm.
"Princess, I was wrong, you raise your noble hand. Ximen Tian cried out in pain, and he felt that his whole body was in pain, like tens of thousands of ants biting at the same time.
"Hmph. Zi Xuan turned her head away and quietly wiped her tears.
The scene in front of him gradually became clear, and Ximen Tian found that life was so beautiful. The faint glare of sunlight outside the window, the quaint bluestone bricks, the maple trees in the courtyard, and... A handsome white man?
"Uncle Duan!" Ximen Tian wanted to straighten up.
"You lie down first, and Zixuan, you go out. ”
"Oh. Zixuan reluctantly walked out.
"My God, let me ask you a question. Duan Hou Ye smiled, revealing a cold look.
Master, peerless master! Ximen Tian's eyes froze, and the sword intent burst out uncontrollably.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to look like an old friend. Duan Hou Ye had surprise in his eyes.
"Uncle Duan is overrated. Ximen Tian said humbly, and his evaluation of this Wanying Hou in his heart was one point higher.
"Do you know what Zhao Zixuan's identity is?" said Duan Houye word by word.
"Princess of the Tang Dynasty. "Of course Simon God knows.
"Then do you like her?" asked Hou Ye Duan.
"Poof. Ximen Tian was almost choked on a mouthful of saliva.
"Are you willing to be a colt of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Duan... Uncle Duan, this is too early. Ximen Tian was a little overwhelmed.
"What if, the emperor wants to marry Zixuan to others?" said Duan Houye.
"No!" Ximen Tian felt a surge of hot blood rush into his chest.
"Then tell me how you like her, are you willing to die for her?" asked Duan Houye.
Ximen Tian suddenly smiled bitterly, it seemed that Zi Xuan didn't tell him the truth, and the two had already relied on each other for a long time. The struggle in the catastrophe of the Xuanzhen Ruins and the Wuhou Tomb has long surpassed the love between men and women, and the flowers are under the moon.
"How. Duan Hou Ye looked at Ximen Tian and seemed to guess something.
"The tomb of Wuhou is very dangerous, presumably Zixuan is hiding something from me. Duan Hou Ye said with a smile.
"Uncle Duan......"
"You need to be careful at all times in the future, I suspect that there are people within the Imperial Court, or your Huidao Alliance, against you and Zixuan, of course Zixuan will not have problems by my side. As for you, Brother Xiao is in retreat now, you have to protect yourself. Duan Hou Ye glanced at the graceful figure outside the window and stopped talking.
"Yes. Ximen Tian felt warm in his heart.
"Three days later, it is estimated that most of your injuries will be healed, and it will coincide with the emperor's birthday, and the whole country will celebrate. I made a marriage contract for Zixuan, and this time I will take you to Beijing to face the saint, and I will talk about it then. Duan Hou Ye continued.
"Face saint?" Ximen Tian was taken aback, the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and it is rare for ordinary people to see him once in his life, even if he is a county official, he can only meet Long Yan once or twice in his life.
"Zixuan, come in. Duan Hou Ye beckoned outward.
Zi Xuan was dressed in red and walked in. The small and delicate shoes are embroidered with a Qingluan, and the long skirt is carried in the plain hand, and it dances like a butterfly with a slight turn. The long hair is like a waterfall, and there is a little more lightness in the air. The rest is only the face with a smile and a country and a city.
The two curved willow eyebrows were gently raised, and the eyes lingered with antidistency, and the small mouth opened slightly, as if to make everything lose color. Ximen Tian stared at her directly, stupid.
In the tomb, it was dim, and in the past three years, I hadn't looked at Zixuan carefully. I only remember fainting in the arms of the beauty, I only remember that she gradually sank into the swamp, and I only remember the blood marks on her left arm.
"Stupid, wipe your saliva. Zi Xuan said dissatisfiedly, slowly sat on the edge of the bed, and then looked at Marquis Duan with a dry smile.
"Zixuan, you are so good...... Ximen Tian suddenly realized something, and looked at Duan Houye, his face flushed.
"Tian'er, after meeting the Holy Queen, the emperor is estimated to give you an official position, I don't know when you will take office. Duan Hou Ye said with a smile.
"It's okay, there is a princess covering you, and you will definitely stay in the capital in the future. Zixuan was clearly confident.
"As an official, don't you want to rush for the exam?" Ximen Tian was a little confused in his heart. Thinking that he is fourteen years old, he has power, and he can sit high in the high hall, and his heart is inevitably a little empty.
"Your strength is at least enough to be the lord of a city, and you are also a master at the level of the elders of various sects in the rivers and lakes. Duan Hou Ye didn't know when a paper fan appeared in his hand again.
"How many officials is the lord of a city?" Ximen Tian asked in a daze, he was in the Huidao League and was familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he didn't know anything about the imperial court.
"What's wrong with you?" Ximen Tian reluctantly sat up, looking at Duan Hou Ye and Zhao Zixuan, who were coughing desperately, suspiciously.
