Chapter 89: Sword Fall (I)
In the imperial city, the Son of Heaven was sitting in the Ming Hall to review the chapters, and suddenly heard the sound of wind and thunder, and he said lightly to the little eunuch beside him: "Go out and see what's going on outside." ”
The little eunuch was ordered to go out, and only came back after a while, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, there are black clouds outside, the wind and thunder are raging, and there is a divine sword hanging high in the air, blooming with clear light, looking at its location, it seems to be on the top of Princess Anping's mansion." ”
He looked frightened, and there was a slight tremor in his voice.
The little eunuch grew up in the capital since he was a child, and the capital has always been inviolable, where have he ever seen such an evil thing. The black clouds in the sky were heavy, as if they were about to be pressed down at any time, and when people looked at them, they were extremely suffocated.
The young emperor didn't seem to be surprised, and sighed in his heart, if Hong Sijin was here, he would never be as panicked as the little eunuch.
"Omato, Otobe, are you leaving me so easily? I am rich all over the world, and what else can't I give you. What's so good about that man?"
A few days passed, and Mr. Ghost did not come back to recover his life, and Hong Sijin fled the palace earlier and went to the mountain temple in Jinhua Mansion, which was where the Taoist priest was, which made the young emperor a little puzzled and confused.
It also made him realize how difficult the other party is.
However, the Supervision Department under his command did not find any traces of the Taoist priest leaving the mountain temple and descending the mountain. The Supervision Department has a top-notch means of transmitting information, and it is not even used for half a day to send news back to the capital. Today is the seventh day, and the people in the Supervision Department think that Mr. Ghost has indeed dragged the Taoist priest, and the other party is afraid that he will not come today. The princess should be safe, and the face of the heavenly family can still be saved.
The emperor felt the same, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, so he invited Mr. Lu and Mr. Yang to the princess's mansion. These two are great demons who have practiced for thousands of years, and the emperor has paid a lot of price in order to entrap them.
It stands to reason that it should be foolproof.
It's just that the speed at which he reviewed the music today was much slower than usual.
The faint uneasiness finally expanded violently at this time.
As an emperor, it is the basic skill to be invisible.
But he couldn't sit still now.
The wind from outside also rushed in, and the eunuchs and maidens in the inner hall planned to close the door.
The Emperor said, "Let the door be open, and I want to see what is going on outside." ”
The little eunuch hurriedly put on a big coat for the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, be careful that the wind is strong outside, and the evil qi enters the body." ”
The emperor waved his hand and said lightly: "I am the Son of Heaven, I want to see what evil qi dares to invade my body." ”
He walked to the front of the main hall, and the wind blew in from outside, causing his crown to flutter incessantly.
The black clouds in the sky were too dense, like thick ink, but the capital did not fall into darkness, because there were electric flashes in the sky from time to time, illuminating the capital that should have been dark.
From time to time, the thunder drowned out the howling of the wind, as if there was a majestic being above the nine heavens, declaring his wrath to the world.
In a dazzling flash of lightning, the Emperor raised his head and looked at the Excalibur hanging above him.
The divine sword is wrapped in clear light, thousands of feet long, like the sword of the heavens, hanging in the world.
The emperor suddenly realized that the Taoist had not arrived, but the sword of the Taoist had already come.
It's just a sword.
"Are you going to use it to get justice for your friend?"
If the Taoist said in advance that he would only send a sword, the emperor would definitely not know whether to say the arrogance of the Taoist or praise the courage of the other party, and now, the emperor, who is like a mountain, can't say anything.
The foreign races outside the Saiwai are eyeing each other, the Tianli Sect's disregard for the laws of the imperial court, the contempt for the royal law of the righteous sect, and the strength of the Taishan Divine Court against the imperial court are all not as heavy as the sword in front of them at this moment.
Those pressures are invisible, and the sword is already in sight.
This is a blatant threat.
It is also true lawlessness.
The Taoist is not afraid of him punishing his nine clans.
No matter how strong a person is, can he still deal with a country?
Or he doesn't care about his relatives and friends at all, just for himself.
What's more, provoking the imperial power will breed the ambitions of careerists and make the world even darker and more turbulent. Since he is a master of Taoism, doesn't he have a mind to think about the world and completely ignore the overall situation?
The Emperor had always believed that fighting each other was a last resort, and that all disputes in the world could be resolved by compromise.
It's also an art.
Why doesn't it work here in Taoism?
What good is it for him to tear his face with the Heavenly Family?
The emperor was silent for a long time, then came back to his senses and asked the little eunuch beside him, "How long is left?"
The eunuch was stunned for a while, and it took a while to react, "Your Majesty asked about the matter in the Princess's Mansion." ”
At first, he was very surprised by this matter, because someone dared to threaten the princess, and what was even more exaggerated, His Majesty and the princess took this matter very seriously.
The eunuch replied, "There is still an hour and two quarters of an hour. ”
The emperor said, "That is, there is still an hour and two quarters of an hour before the sword will fall." ”
The eunuch said: "With Your Majesty's heavenly might, the sword will not dare to fall, not to mention that there are many masters in the princess's mansion to guard, even if there is a case, it will be safe and sound." ”
The Emperor sneered, "Not necessarily. ”
At this time, an official with a high level of cultivation hurriedly arrived in front of the hall.
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess ordered someone to take Wen Yuchun's family away. ”
"Didn't I want you to take care of the prison and not a single fly to take out?"
"But Her Royal Highness the princess has asked the queen mother for her decree, and if the ministers do not obey, they will cut it first and then play it. Her Royal Highness the princess also passed the word that if there is a compromise, anyone can threaten the court in the future. She was going to get the sword back. If there are any consequences, His Royal Highness will be his own edict, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty. ”
The emperor couldn't help but look a little iron-clad, "Nonsense." Give me a ride to Princess Anping's mansion. ”
The official hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, you can't go." ”
The emperor looked at him coldly, and said lightly: "I haven't cured you of the crime of dereliction of duty in guarding the heavenly prison, do you want to punish the two crimes together?"
The official said: "Your Majesty, this sword is in the air, the power of the gods is unpredictable, and no monk in the capital dares to try the edge now." If His Majesty also goes to the Princess's Mansion, the sword will still fall, not to mention that it may hurt His Majesty's golden body, even if it doesn't, it will damage His Majesty's face in person, and there will be no room for turning around at that time. What's more, there is still a proverb among the people, the son of a daughter can't sit down. ”
The Emperor couldn't help but be silent.
Seeing this, the official hit his head on the ground, and said with blood: "If Your Majesty wants to go, step on the corpse of the minister." ”
The emperor sighed and said, "Close the door of the palace, don't let the wind blow these important events related to the people's livelihood." ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
...
...
"Your Royal Highness Princess, are you going to kill me with your own hands?"
Princess Anping's Mansion, on a stretcher, there is a clear old man, although he is covered in bruises, he is still full of qi, which shows that the kung fu of practicing qi is very profound.
"No, this palace wants you to say in front of the whole capital that you are willing to dedicate all the property in your family to this palace, and you are willing to be a lackey of this palace. As long as you listen to the words of this palace, this palace will keep your whole family safe and sound, and you can find a better place for your father-in-law to be a city god. ”
The old man snorted, and then laughed and said, "You're afraid, you're afraid." ”
