Chapter 54: Questioning
Twilight and Mu Xizhao arrived under the beacon at about the same time, and saw the flame grow farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.
Xiao Qianye walked down from it alone, and Twilight hurriedly greeted him, and asked anxiously, "Young Pavilion Master, is that person...... What is the origin of that man, who can turn into light and escape, is he also of another race?"
"It's not clear yet, we won't know until the ink pavilion's investigation comes out. Xiao Qianye casually concealed the past, and then looked at Mu Xizhao, his face was bloodless, and he was in a cold sweat, hearing such words, he was naturally very dissatisfied, and angrily accused: "You are lying! That person is clearly coming for you! Does the military pavilion master really know what he is doing? He hurt the fifth princess, and you even let him run away? In case Your Majesty blames him......
At this point, Mu Xizhao bit his lip and clenched his fists hard, his eyes full of unwillingness--What if Your Majesty blames him? The military pavilion master is protected by Prince Mingxi, and the security of Tianyu City is the responsibility of the forbidden army, and all the responsibility will undoubtedly be pushed on the head of the forbidden army! At that time, will the governor abandon the car to protect the commander?
He didn't dare to continue thinking about it, with the character of Governor Gao, he would undoubtedly become an outcast again!
Mu Xizhao's heart beat rapidly, igniting a nameless fear.
"Are you injured?" Xiao Qianye noticed his drooping arm at a glance, and stepped forward to lift it gently.
Mu Xizhao took a deep breath, his face turned dark with pain, but he immediately shook off Xiao Qianye's hand in disgust and took a step back: "It's just a small injury, don't bother the military pavilion master." ”
"Little injury, you don't want this hand anymore?" he sneered, turned back to the lieutenant general, and said, "Dusk Cloud, take him to Danzhen Palace to treat his injury, and I'll report to Moge." ”
"You ......" Mu Xizhao looked up angrily, completely unappreciative, and even more angry, his lips twitched twice, and he trembled, "Are you sympathizing with me?"
Xiao Qianye was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect his actions to inexplicably poke his sore spots.
He knew that Mu Xizhao was Governor Gao's person, and Governor Gao had spent countless efforts to train him to become the successor of the military pavilion, but when the great achievement was about to be completed, he was robbed of the position of the head of the military pavilion, and now he thinks that it must have been Prince Mingxi who secretly made a move, otherwise how could a person who studied under Kunlun Mountain be able to suppress the person of the governor Gao to take over the military pavilion?
Although Governor Gao is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, he still can't fight the crown prince, after all, people with a discerning eye know that His Majesty is too partial to the crown prince.
Unlike Emperor Tianquan's own usurpation of power, there is no open and secret struggle between the princes of this session, and the ministers of the court and the central government also save the mind of intrigue, because Prince Mingxi is undoubtedly the only heir to the throne.
Xiao Qianye's gaze gradually deepened, Prince Mingxi's only opponent was his father, Emperor Tianquan, no matter what purpose that person was longing to return to the sky, longing for eternal life, that was the only obstacle for the crown prince.
He turned to glance at Mu Xizhao, this person must hate himself, right? Unlike the emptiness of the Hades King Huangyan, that is really hating himself, right?
The eldest brother had told him that Mu Xizhao had killed his top boss Gao Jingping in Pingshui County and blamed the matter on the tsunami caused by the Sea Devil later, but judging from Governor Gao's attitude, the forbidden army didn't seem to care about a detachment leader at all.
If this person can't become his own, he will undoubtedly become an enemy in the future, and the Wind Demon has long planned to get rid of him at the right time!
Thinking of this, Xiao Qianye suddenly asked, "You are from the wasteland at the junction of Yangchuan and Jialuo, right?"
"Huh?" Mu Xizhao looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was trying to say.
"I also have a lieutenant general from there, a few years younger than you, named Zhengfan, who is still assisting the Navy in dealing with the mess in North Shore City in Yudu. ”
"Oh. Mu Xizhao sneered, "He is much luckier than me, he became a deputy general at such a young age, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future." ”
"The military pavilion is still lacking a white tiger general at the moment. ”
“......”
Xiao Qianye looked at Mu Xizhao calmly, in fact, he didn't hate this person from the beginning, the Feiyuan Continent has a strict hierarchy, in addition to the aliens who have no status, there are also people born in the wasteland with low status, even if there is a high governor deliberately cultivated, he needs to be extremely good to gain a foothold in the military pavilion, if he comes back half a year later, maybe the position of the military pavilion master is his Mu Xizhao!
However, many things in this world are just a fraction of a second, a thousand miles away, after Moge announced that he would succeed him as the new military pavilion master, Mu Xizhao was quickly recalled by Governor Gao to the forbidden army, and since then there has been no merit.
He disappeared for several years, and it wasn't until last year that he reappeared in the limelight, but he was no longer the one who could compete with him for the position of Pavilion Master.
He became reticent and even depressed, wandering between several detachments of the forbidden army, and never achieved anything.
"I don't have any people who have reported from the Eighth Hall of the Military Aircraft that I can look up to, and the only one who is a little interesting is the only one who ran ......away again," Xiao Qianye continued to hint, "If you want, I can personally go and ask Governor Gao for someone." ”
"Are you insulting me?" Mu Xizhao's face turned blue, this person actually wanted to give him a chance to ascend to the sky? No way, he must be taking the opportunity to insult himself, he is a child that Governor Gao picked up and raised, if he betrays the governor, he will definitely be retaliated!
Then, he buried his head in low self-esteem and couldn't help but let out a series of trembling laughs.
This Xiao Qianye, he is pampered, lives in the Heavenly Imperial City, and has the support of Prince Mingxi, how can he understand the helplessness of low-level people like himself?
After so many years, he had long been used to it, but when such words came out of the mouth of the pavilion master, he still couldn't help but tremble.
The soldiers of the forbidden army, one by one, were arrogant to him, even if they knew that he was the adopted son of the governor, they did not have the slightest politeness in their words and deeds, after all, he was born in the wasteland, he had no power and power, and he messed up the military cabinet in his hands, and now he can only be a dog under the governor.
Governor Gao...... Gao Chengchuan, that is the name that gave him his dreams, and it is also the name that plunged him into endless nightmares.
The wasteland where he is located is the junction of Garo and Yangchuan, and it is also the most barren land of all the wastelands in Feiyuan, next to the desert on one side, and the snow field on the other, the supplies are extremely scarce, a large number of people starve to death every day, snow wolves and sand foxes attack day and night, everyone is intriguing, but just to get the only little food left.
The situation was especially serious that year, it is said that the spirit of the earth bound suddenly appeared and attacked the Great Oblivion City, causing the largest trade route in Yangchuan to be interrupted for more than half a year, and the only water source was the exhaustion of the river, which made the already barren land even worse, and the people of the wasteland had begun to fight each other, relying on the flesh of the dead to survive.
It was at that time that he met Gao Chengchuan, that person happened to return to the Heavenly Imperial Capital from the Great Oblivion City, he was riding on a war horse, holding a spiral-shaped golden giant sword, tall and mighty, followed by a thousand troops, so high and out of reach.
It was when he was passing by the wasteland that Governor Gao picked him up sitting on the corpse in a daze, holding a broken sword, holding a piece of carrion in his hand and tearing it expressionlessly, perhaps attracted by the indifference in his eyes, the old man dismounted and walked to his side.
He never thought that such an ordinary act would change his life, and Governor Gao brought him back to Tianyu City, gave him everything, taught him knowledge and swordsmanship.
There was even a moment when he really thought that he had gotten rid of his fate and had become the true son of Governor Gao, a father and a son.
All these transformations have completely disappeared since Xiao Qianye came back!
Mu Xizhao raised his head angrily, Xiao Qianye's heart was beating in horror at that glance, and he subconsciously pressed down the Likong Sword.
In fact, he couldn't see it at all, the place where he was imprisoned was the laboratory of the imperial capital, and the jailer had blinded him early in the morning, and he could only hear the terrible wails in his ears, day and night, and time seemed to exist in that kind of place.
He could feel the people injecting him with strange pills, cold liquids like poisonous insects that almost drove him crazy!
His skin seemed to have cracked many times, and they had healed it again, and over and over again, until in the end, he felt no more pain, and his whole body was like a walking corpse.
I don't know how long such days have passed, until one day, his eyes that have long been blind can suddenly see things again, and the people in the laboratory are ecstatic, and Governor Gao heard the news and finally picked him up.
But this time he finally knew in his heart that he would always be a dispensable outcast under Gao Chengchuan, and he would never really become his child.
What he hated was not only Xiao Qianye in front of him, what he hated was the strict hierarchy of the imperial capital, which would make a person like him lose a lifetime from birth!
Xiao Qianye didn't speak, and the murmur of the eldest brother sounded in his ears - this person can't stay, sooner or later there will be problems.
However, at this moment, he was a little inexplicable, since the Tianzheng Mansion was destroyed eight years ago, it is now also weak, once it completely loses power, it will undoubtedly be a devastating disaster! It may even be retaliated against, this is the only reason why he knows that the road ahead is difficult, but he still can't refuse Prince Mingxi.
"The Pavilion Master should take care of himself first. Mu Xizhao coldly rejected him, "I am a member of the forbidden army, and the military pavilion and the forbidden army have always been opponents, if I promise you, wouldn't it be unkind and unjust?"
"Is it unkind and unjust?" Xiao Qianye sighed, "Has Governor Gao ever been kind to you?"
“......”
"Young Pavilion Master!" the lieutenant general beside him, Twilight, hurriedly whispered to stop, suggesting that he had something to say.
Xiao Qianye naturally knew what his subordinates were worried about, the turbulent power struggle in the imperial capital city would really come out of his mouth and cause countless disputes.
Twilight Yun awkwardly opened the topic and said nervously: "Ahem, Young Pavilion Master, the fifth princess is not lightly injured, and she is being consulted in Danzhen Palace, do you want to go over for a while?"
"Let's do it together. Xiao Qianye's eyes turned, "Mu Xizhao, you are not lightly injured, if you don't want this hand to be wasted, don't gamble with me and go to treat the injury first." ”
"Hmph. Mu Xizhao retreated sullenly, turned over and left.
