Chapter 2: Moon Shadow Riot Chapter 71 Xuantian awakens
Li Mengluan said suspiciously: "What kind of price? If it violates morality, I will never agree to it! Brother Tian will not want me to go against the sky for him!"
The fairy smiled: "Naturally, it does not violate morality, but the secret of heaven must not be leaked." The fairy turned her words around, looked at Li Mengluan with strange eyes, and asked, "If you wake him up, you will suffer endless suffering, even then are you willing?"
Li Mengluan was about to agree, but countless voices in the depths of his heart began to shout.
"You must not agree, this is a trap, it will only kill you all over your body, and you will die miserably. ”
"Don't be obsessed with it anymore, just give up! Keep your eyes open and face the reality is the best choice. ”
Li Mengluan's hesitation only stopped for a moment, and her belief was unshakable.
Wrong and right, there is never an absolute, she no longer cares about right and wrong. What if she fell into a trap, what about the bruises all over her body, she had chosen to be obsessed. She was not a smart person in the first place, and she often couldn't tell between black and white, but she always believed in her choice, never confused, never doubted. How painful the body is, how tired the soul is, she bears it alone, and it will not affect anyone from beginning to end, so why not?
Even if it was an ordinary person, she had no reason to refuse, let alone Xuantian, the boy she swore to protect for the rest of her life.
"Just let me cling to this time, I have never changed my decision, and I will never do this time!" Li Mengluan shouted from the depths of his soul, causing the opposing voice to disappear without a trace.
"I've made up my mind. Li Mengluan said to the fairy with a light smile.
"Once a decision has been made, there is no room for reversal. The fairy said seriously.
Li Mengluan said word by word: "I will never regret it! Please ask the fairy to cast a spell to wake up my friend." ”
The fairy nodded, and her right hand volleyed towards Xuantian's Baihui acupoint, and a colorful light immediately penetrated into the top of Xuantian's head.
"The contract has been made, and your friend will wake up soon. The fairy brushed her sleeves away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the fairy music came to an abrupt end.
Li Mengluan focused his eyes on Xuantian, and did not allow himself to stagger his eyes for a moment.
The drizzle suddenly stopped, and the dark clouds slowly dispersed. But I saw a blue sky, the sky was clear after the rain, and the sun warmed up. A rainbow spans the sky, shining brightly, becoming the most beautiful color in people's hearts.
Xuantian's face turned ruddy, his breathing rate tended to be normal, his eyes rolled a few times, and then he opened his eyes, and a pair of starry eyes were bright, which showed that the internal injuries had fully recovered.
Sister Lan was entering the house with medicine at the moment, and happened to see this miracle happening, and her joy was indescribable. Sister Lan was originally a quiet person, but she didn't care about her image at this moment, she seemed to be "infected" by Li Mengluan, and after putting the medicine bowl on the table, she held hands with Li Mengluan and cheered together. Xuantian, who had just woken up, saw that the two of them were so excited, and he also smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Xuantian, who had been reborn, found that his cultivation had risen sharply, which couldn't help but make him overjoyed. Xuantian asked Li Mengluan how he recovered, and Li Mengluan told the truth, but deliberately concealed the part of the price. After Xuantian learned that it was the Nine Heavens Fairy who rescued, he hurriedly bowed down to the heavens and swore that he would do the right thing for the heavens in the future and never let down the heavens' love for him.
In order to test his current strength, Xuantian and Li Mengluan agreed to compete in the "Unrestrained Tongcheng", and neither side was allowed to show mercy until the winner was decided. In the final result of the competition, when Li Mengluan used such a powerful move as "Instant Fanghua", Xuantian still held out for a full six hours, and Li Mengluan could only be said to have won narrowly. Although it was proved that there was still a gap between himself and Li Mengluan this time, Xuantian was already very pleased, if he changed to his previous self, I am afraid that he would lose if he couldn't catch Li Mengluan's one and a half moves.
Li Mengluan now remembered that it had been more than five months since she left Moon Shadow Island, and her relatives must have been worried about her, and it was difficult to sleep and eat. And lately, she has always had some ominous premonitions, like the feeling of a family member suffering a bloody disaster. Li Mengluan couldn't calm down anymore and decided to return to Moon Shadow Island with Xuantian the next day.
The next day, the two said goodbye to Sister Lan and embarked on the journey home. Li Mengluan was anxious, and Xuantian naturally knew, so the two of them sped up and returned to the island in less than a day.
The island is unusually quiet, and the four fields are silent, as if they have lost their life. When Li Mengluan saw this scene, he was even more anxious. Seeing a white-haired old man sweeping the floor next to a farmhouse in front of him, he hurriedly went up and asked, "Old man, why is the island so quiet, is something going on?"
The old man looked at Li Mengluan, obviously not knowing that she was the princess herself. The old man said: "You are from outside, the emperor died here more than a month ago." The emperor's personality is clear to everyone, during his reign, the country and the people were safe, and everyone loved him very much, and now that he has died, how can we not be sad. ”
Li Mengluan listened, her eyes were dark, and she almost fainted to the ground, but fortunately, Xuantian reacted quickly and supported her from behind. Li Mengluan eased the grief in his heart a little and cleared his mind. Xuantian opened his mouth at this time and asked, "Do you know who the new emperor is?"
The old man said: "It's the emperor's son-in-law, and now it seems to be called 'Emperor Wu'." Xuantian was shocked when he heard the word "sister-in-law", and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.
"Before I left the island, my father's health was very healthy, why did something happen in such a short period of time?" Li Mengluan said in a lost voice at this moment.
Xuantian didn't know how to comfort others, so he could only say: "We don't know if this is true or not, and now the most important thing is to go back to the palace to find out." Li Mengluan nodded in agreement, and the two came to the gate of the palace with very complicated feelings. At this time, a guard had already seen the two of them, and went to inform Li Zaixing and Song Zhendong like a gust of wind.
Hearing that his cousin and brother had returned safely, Song Zhendong was overjoyed. Knowing that they must go to the Jinluan Hall first, Song Zhendong stood in front of the hall and waited. The three of them were very excited when they met, and their eyes couldn't help but moisten. Song Zhendong asked the two about the reason for leaving the island and the situation in the past five months, Li Mengluan just said that he wanted Xuantian to take her out of the island to see and understand, but he was afraid that his father would not agree, so the two sneaked away. Song Zhendong shook his head and said, "You are still so playful." You know how worried we are about you, no matter what you want to do in the future, you must let us know first, as long as there is no danger, we will agree. ”
Li Mengluan hurriedly agreed: "I remember." ”
Song Zhendong smiled and said, "Your brother is still waiting for you in the palace, go quickly!"
Li Mengluan's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Father, Father, really..." Before she could finish speaking, Song Zhendong nodded lightly, and a trace of grief crossed his eyes. After confirming the news of his father's death, Li Mengluan calmed down and seemed to accept this reality. Before Li Mengluan and Xuantian entered the palace, Song Zhendong made a gesture to them, meaning to talk to Li Zaixing and go to his dormitory to talk again, and Li Mengluan acquiesced.
The scenery inside the Jinluan Hall has not changed, the only difference is the person sitting on the dragon chair. Emperor Sheng died, Emperor Wu ascended the throne, Li Zaixing sat on the dragon chair, his expression was serious, he was not angry and arrogant, and he had the spirit of a hegemon. After Li Mengluan and Xuan Tianxing knelt and bowed, Li Zaixing and the two began to chat, almost the same questions and answers as when they talked to Song Zhendong. The atmosphere was unusually harmonious, until Li Mengluan's question broke the calm atmosphere.
"Brother, how did my father die?" Li Mengluan said with a straight face.
"My father had a sudden attack of heart disease more than a month ago and died suddenly in his bedroom. Li Zaixing said in a deep voice.
"But my father was very healthy before I left the island, how could it..."
Before Li Mengluan could finish speaking, Li Zaixing interrupted: "If it weren't for your sudden disappearance, my father would be extremely anxious, and it would not have caused his health to deteriorate, which would eventually lead to a tragedy." In the future, you will not be allowed to go anywhere without my permission!" Li Zaixing said extremely seriously, and his face was angry, as if reprimanded. Li Mengluan was speechless for a moment, and at this time, Li Zaixing deliberately changed the topic, and the three of them chatted about the situation of a cup of tea. During this period, Li Zaixing praised Xuantian many times for his profound knowledge, and wanted to leave him on Moon Shadow Island and make him an important member of the imperial court. Xuantian naturally refused, saying that he still had important things to do and couldn't stay here for a long time.
After leaving the Jinluan Palace, Xuantian and Li Mengluan went straight to Song Zhendong's bedroom. After exchanging opinions, the three agreed that Emperor Sheng did not die of illness, there must be something strange in it, and I am afraid that there is a bigger conspiracy behind it. But it is difficult to find a clue after hard thinking, Song Zhendong and Xuantian are suspicious of Li Zaixing, but in order not to make Li Mengluan even more sad, neither of them said it. The three of them decided to put the matter aside for the time being, pay attention to the changes in the situation first, and then make plans when there was an abnormality, while Xuantian was ready to observe Li Zaixing's every move at any time.
In the dead of night, dark clouds cover the moon, black fog fills the air, and the wind is cold.
Li Zaixing's bedroom was shrouded in black fog at this time, and in the center of the fog, the sound of the conversation between the two could be faintly heard.
"Li Zaixing, we didn't help you ascend the throne so that you could enjoy Qingfu. The task on you is crucial and must be carried out as soon as possible. Tomorrow you will recruit your men and horses, train them diligently, and when you are ready, you will send troops to attack the barbarians. If there are those who are willing to surrender, they will be included in the Yasukuni army, and those who insist on not surrendering will be killed, and not one will be left. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Got it! I'll start tomorrow, but I still have a reluctant request. ”
"What do you ask? As long as we can do it, we will not refuse. ”
"Can you arrest Xue Huai, a first-class official of the Tang Dynasty who designed to frame my cousin?"
"It's like digging for something for us, and if it's fine, we'll do it. ”
Li Zaixing thanked him again and again, and after a while, the black mist dispersed. Li Zaixing's figure appeared in the room, his eyes were bloodshot again, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a strange smile.
