Chapter 50: Entering the Capital Again (Third Watch)
Xue Zha didn't ask much about Ye Mingchen's story, he could probably guess that Bai Yu was nothing more than taking a fancy to something, some inheritance, or some people of the Ye family.
It's just that what surprised him was that Bai Yu, that bad old man who didn't look very smart, was actually very bad, and came up with that kind of moral paradox to torture Ye Mingchen, such an old thing, it's cool enough to kill!
Xue Zha went all the way north, and when he entered the capital for the second time with Tang Dabao and Ye Mingchen, Deng Tao received the news as soon as possible, and he hurried into the palace, which was the privilege that the old emperor Bai Yu only gave him, and even the crown prince and the second prince did not have this privilege.
"Your Majesty, here he is ... ”
There was no sound, and all Deng Tao could see when he knelt on the ground was the shadow under the pitch-black jade couch.
After a long silence, a dull cough came from the bed.
Deng Tao cast a look on the bed with concern, and what he saw was an old man with a withered face and a thin body.
Bai Yu said: "Old Deng...... I'm dying, and I didn't expect that what broke me was actually a piece of news. ”
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, your red blessing is as high as the sky, you will definitely be fine, you will definitely not be there!"
Deng Tao Khan has come down, but he knows that in the history of the White Kingdom, there are shameless emperors who let his closest ministers accompany him to the funeral, and he is really afraid that the old emperor will twitch his brain and give him this honor to Deng Tao.
However, the old emperor on the sickbed quickly dispelled his doubts: "Old Deng...... You don't have to worry too much, the only people I can trust in this country are you and Yang Sanyuan, but Yang Sanyuan, this old thing, and the Sand army in the north are eyebrows, I have long seen that he is not happy, after I leave, the safety of this country can only be handed over to you alone, do you understand what I mean?"
"Your Majesty...... You ???"
Deng Tao couldn't believe it, he immediately kowtowed again and again, he was panicked, he was afraid that this was the pit dug for him by Emperor Bai Yu.
"Your Majesty, don't go, Your Majesty!"
"Minister...... The minister doesn't have that ability, the minister is afraid, the minister is uneasy, and the minister is afraid, your majesty!"
"Your Majesty, you will definitely be able to turn all bad things into good things, and you will definitely get better!"
Deng Tao kowtowed frantically to bless, he was really scared, at this moment, his mind was full of the old emperor Bai Yu's temptation to him, a bad response, it doesn't matter if his life is not guaranteed, what if his mother, wife and children are also killed?
On the sickbed, there was a long silence, obviously, the old emperor Bai Yu didn't know what to say at this time.
On the other side, as soon as Xue Zha entered the capital, he went straight to the Xuanwu Palace, which Bai Yu gave him.
When he, Tang Dabao, and Ye Mingchen arrived at Dahuaishu Street, two people were waiting for him.
One is the palace master of Lanqing sitting in the carriage, and the other is the Ximen Tiger who said last time that there was a spiritual spring in the house, and he is still wearing the red official uniform of the Ministry of Industry officials today, but the pattern on his chest has been changed to a crane at some point.
"You've been waiting for a long time... ”
Xue Zha smiled and arched his hand on horseback, he swept the Lanqing Palace Master who raised the curtain of the carriage, and then glanced at Ximen Hu who was leaning on his shoulder next to the big locust tree in the middle of the street, with his current perception, it is not difficult to see the details of the two.
"What an honor it is for you to greet me with Lord Wang......
"One is the palace master, and the other is the eunuch of the Xichang Admiral, tsk, the old emperor is afraid that he doesn't know, this good daughter of his is already with the king......"
Xue Zha's tone was flat, but the content of his words was sawing and knives, and when he said it, it reached the ears of the two of them, instantly making the other party change color.
Ximen Hu stood up a little straighter, he glanced at the Lanqing Palace Master who put down the carriage and even covered his figure, he didn't expect that His Majesty's palace master with the worst reputation was actually a language king with the same strength as him.
"Palace Master, since you and Zai are here, I want to ...... We should join forces today, right?"
"This palace is here to greet King Xuanwu, who are you? Why haven't I seen you, why does King Xuanwu say that you are the governor of Xichang?"
Ximen Hu and Lan Qing Palace Master talked to each other, one of them asked to join forces, and the other refused but covered each other's identities, it is not difficult to see that these two people are very scheming, but they can also assert: These two should be cooperating for the first time.
Xue Zha was very patient today, he felt that he had Ye Mingchen by his side, and Tang Dabao who was carrying the knife made by the old dean of Wutong Academy, and the three of them on his side were facing the two opposite, afraid of a bird?
But before Xue Zha's true nature was revealed, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, looked back, and a group of more than a dozen riders appeared, with two acquaintances on it, one named Lu Qingyang, the other called Huo Yunpeng, and one familiar, Xue Zha remembered for a long time and asked: "You are the person who scolded me with Jiang Chen here before, what is your name...... Is the surname Zhu not?"
Zhu Yunshan almost didn't want to die of anger, what is Xue Zha's words, he is the champion of this year, in Xue Zha's mouth, he didn't even remember his name, "Am I so unable to let King Xuanwu remember who I am?"
Zhu Yunshan urged him to step forward, his voice was very cold, today Prime Minister Yang Sanyuan said that as long as he makes meritorious service, he can get the position of Lord Yin of Fu, which is really bad in the place, then he will not die in front of the clansmen when he goes home!
Therefore, regardless of the other people around him, he directly took the lead and confronted Xue Zha face to face.
Xue Zha shook his head, he didn't answer the other party's question, but asked with a smile: "Young man, what is the relationship between you and Zhu Rixian?"
"Call me a young man, hehe, how old are you, dare to ask how old you are this year!"
Zhu Yunshan's eyelids twitched, he felt that if he didn't still have a trace of sanity, he would have to make a move now.
Xue Zha shook his head and said: "I gave you a chance, you don't cherish it, when I look back and see Zhu Rixian, a state pastor with a good relationship, I can also tell him confidently: I don't want to kill you!"
When Xue Zha's four words "justifiable" came out, a colorless and invisible pillar of light rose around his body, and the pillar of light continued to expand, and the speed was very fast, after encountering the nearest Zhu Yunshan, he directly collided with people and horses, but Ye Mingchen and Tang Dabao, who were sitting on the two horses next to Xue Zha, were not affected in the slightest.
Xue Zha shook his head and said in his heart: This idiom can't become a Wang Realm idiom, it's a pity.
But his face was silent, he knocked Zhu Yunshan away with one blow, and hit the horse under his crotch to the point that his head was bleeding, such a deterrent effect was sufficient, Lu Qingyang and Huo Yunpeng changed color one after another, and three or four of the dozen or so riders who followed them directly turned their horses' heads and fled immediately.
Xue Zha hooked the corners of his mouth and didn't laugh, what he wanted was this: a soldier who surrendered without a fight!
When Xue Zha thought of "the soldier who surrendered without a fight", the door that appeared in his mind many times reappeared, but this time it was only for a moment, Xue Zha didn't even see the whole picture of the door, and then the door disappeared, which puzzled him.
"What the hell, why did a door appear when I obtained the True Dragon Realm achievement Yuzun, the door appeared when I entered the Yuwang realm from Yuzun, and the door appeared when I stepped into the Holy Realm when I wrote the "Song of Righteousness" reader, and just now, why did it appear?"
"Is it because of the words 'soldiers who surrender without a fight'?"
Xue Zha was puzzled in his heart, and the people around him didn't understand what was wrong with him, Ye Mingchen, who was on horseback on his left, asked in a deep voice, "Childe, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing......"
Xue Zha looked at him blankly, and then thought that he might have a dull expression just now, so he laughed embarrassedly twice, and raised his eyes to look at Lu Qingyang, Huo Yunpeng, and the other five or six horsemen who had not left in front of him.
"What do you say, am I going to kill you or are you going to get out of here?"
Xue Zha is unceremoniously, this is the most real him, the Xue Zha who wants to be a big man, does not dare to take the initiative, and is afraid of being looked down upon, at this time, it is no longer suitable to appear.
