Chapter 288: Encountering the Dragon (I)
Zhoufu Courtyard
With a crisp sound, Zhou Yao's body trembled slightly, as if a fine electricity had penetrated his body, the bedroom was pitch black, and there was a slight sound on the originally quiet couch.
But when he was about to wake up the maid who was sleeping and waiting outside, the sound stopped again.
"Where am I?" Zhou Yao woke up, took a deep breath, moved his fingers, and found that he not only woke up suddenly, but also found that the position he was in now was not on the couch in the bedroom, but in a void.
The distant stars, and the deep, endless darkness, seemed to isolate her from reality.
Absurd, yet mysterious.
She lowered her head and found herself floating in mid-air, and there was a void below her, so light that it seemed that her whole body felt empty.
What's even more bizarre is that the place where there are only a few stars in the distance actually burst into a brilliant light at this time, and those clusters of light burst from all over below, which is beautiful and shocking.
The originally mysterious and deep world was suddenly brought to life.
Surrounded by those lights, the phantom of the dragon condensed by a golden light slowly turned from blur to clear.
Then the golden dragon raised its head to the sky and let out a long groan, and Zhou Yao seemed to hear a clear voice from ancient times.
The voice, clear and majestic.
I don't know if Zhou Yao was so shocked that her soul trembled, and she had an illusion, she even felt that it was not a dragon groaning, but two dragons chanting in unison.
But this speculation was quickly pressed down by her.
After all, what she did see was just a phantom of a dragon.
"Are you there?" she was stunned for a moment before she remembered to summon the mysterious man in her heart.
Before she could call again, it was already uttering: "Vision...... It's the Ten Thousand Demon Order that has appeared, and the Ten Thousand Demon Order has appeared, I'm afraid that all the demons in the world will feel the ...... in a few days."
It wasn't answering her questions, but looking through her eyes, into the distance, with astonishment, joy, disbelief, fear, and anger.
Zhou Yao felt all this, she frowned, looked at the golden dragon phantom in the distance that shocked her now, and asked, "What is that? What is the Ten Thousand Demon Order?"
The mysterious man didn't answer, just stared at it and lost his voice: "Impossible, impossible, it's just a princess, and it's impossible to inherit the authority of the Dragon King." ”
"Impossible, impossible, I ......"
It suddenly came to its senses and shut its mouth.
"You haven't said yet, what is the Ten Thousand Demon Order. Zhou Yao continued to ask.
"These have nothing to do with you, you don't have to know. It replied, and let Zhou Yao ask, but he didn't say anything.
In this regard, Zhou Yao still wanted to speak, but suddenly felt a fall in her body, she immediately woke up, looked at the virtual shadow of the giant dragon in the sky again, and found that the phantom of the dragon was also dissipating at the same time, and at the last glance, she seemed to see the two dragons separate at the moment of dissipation, and flew away together......
Qi Wangfu
At this time, it was the dead of night, although there were princesses and concubines in the main courtyard, but King Qi, who had always slept alone, had just fallen asleep.
His recent days seem to be full of flowers, but in fact they hide anxiety.
The emperor has several sons, who have already reached adulthood and have lived to three of them, not counting those who are about to become adults, and who may become adults in the future.
As long as the emperor is still sitting in that position, he is still the one above the ten thousand people in this country, and his heirs have the possibility of becoming the future king of this country, of course, there is also the possibility of losing everything he already owns, including life, overnight, just like the crown prince more than ten years ago.
King Qi's temper is not good, and when it is difficult to sleep, he is even more irritable.
Because of this time, it was learned that Lin Yuqing's dark line was being swallowed by mysterious forces, and others might suspect that it was him or the King of Shu, but the King of Qi himself knew very well that it was not himself who did this.
Whether it is the King of Shu or not, the King of Qi does not know, it is this feeling that the enemy is in the dark and in the light makes him more and more angry.
It was dark tonight, so he barely lay down and fell asleep in a daze, but just as he was about to fall asleep, a burst of footsteps hurried from outside, and talked with the entourage outside, and the sound of their words made King Qi wake up at once.
"Who?" he asked, panting with red eyes.
The person outside replied: "Lord Wang, it is Mr. Chu who has urgent matters to see." ”
"Let him in. King Qi just wanted to vent the depression in his chest, but in fact, he didn't hear who was talking about outside, and he just wanted to kill this person who woke up himself who had just fallen asleep with great difficulty.
As soon as the door opened, he grabbed the pillow behind him and slammed it against the open door.
The pillow he used was made of jade, which could help him sleep and was good for his body, although he was covered with something on the outside, it still hurt when it hit a person's body, not to mention, the person who was hit by this thing had just walked to the door, and the distance was very close.
This time, he was smashed squarely, and his head was directly smashed, dripping blood.
"The prince forgives the sins!" Because he saw that the king of Qi could even strangle the side concubine alive under his anger, and afterwards only said that he was a violent person who died of illness, although this person was a cronie, he was immediately so frightened that his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to wipe the blood on his head, so he knelt down directly and apologized.
He only dared to say the words of apology once, so he knelt there, quietly waiting for King Qi to calm down.
This is also the experience of the people who are next to King Qi, they have also seen examples of constantly apologizing, but they only add fuel to the fire, this person naturally does not dare to be irritable anymore, lest he be dragged out first before the matter is said.
Speaking of which, he also raised his mind, thinking that he had followed King Qi for several years, and was responsible for intelligence collection, and he was a cronie among his cronies.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head a little.
King Qi, who had been angry for a while, slowly suppressed his anger, although he still wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, the expression on his face had calmed down.
First ordered the two vigil attendants to be dragged down to play the board, looked at the kneeling people in front of him, and said lightly: "What? Do you want this king to ask you to get up? Get in and talk back!"
"Yes!" When Mr. Chu heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed, knowing that this was the anger of King Qi, and he was safe at this time, so he immediately got up and walked in.
Knowing that King Qi didn't like his subordinates to sell miserably, Mr. Chu naturally took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his head, and said with a smile: "If you don't open your mouth, how dare I get up? After all, I broke into your bedroom directly this time, and I was too reckless." ”
"It's done! This king knows that since you are in such a hurry, it must be because you have something important, say, what?" At this time, a maid stepped forward tremblingly, helped King Qi put on his coat, and helped him put on his boots, and hurriedly retreated.
