Chapter III: Usurpation and Conspiracy
Judging by its appearance, it is a falcon as big as a head!
The big man was nine feet tall, mighty and tall, wild enough to retreat from the three armies.
After he took the falcon, he bowed down and lifted it, and whispered to the dark inner sanctum.
Beneath his rugged and ugly face, a soft voice sounded.
He whispered, "It's the one in the southwest."
There seemed to be the sound of the tip of a pen rubbing the fine paper in the hall, and after the big man fell softly, a peaceful voice came slowly, "Come in."
Hearing this, the big man became more and more respectful, and almost bent down to move forward.
It wasn't until after walking a hundred steps that a pair of pale white boots came into his downward view.
The big man didn't dare to look more, and lifted the falcon above his head with both hands, his breathing almost stagnant.
This was the second time he had entered the inner sanctum, since he had been stationed in the main hall.
I remember the first time when the first emperor died.
Suddenly, he felt a light on his arm, and the falcon was taken away by the man.
But there was not the slightest sound.
After a while, after the man had taken the message, the falcon was placed on his arm again.
The big man broke out in a cold sweat and stiffened.
Gain, who hadn't yet opened his mouth to let him go.
After a long time, it seemed to slowly exhale a cloudy breath and muttered something to itself.
The big man couldn't wait to cover his ears, but he didn't dare to hear half a word.
I don't know how long it has been, but the man said softly, "Let the boss come over."
The big man solemnly bowed down and promised, and then was silent for a while, and after seeing that he had no more instructions, he bowed and withdrew.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't dare to raise his eyes.
It was only when I quietly glanced up that I lost this eye.
In Beigong City, he is the uncrowned king, who rules the survival of tens of thousands of living beings in the city.
Outside Beigong City, he is a national teacher who can stop children from crying, and he is also secretly called the 'Shadow Emperor'.
Former Taishi of Qingsong Kingdom, Beigong Yuan.

The next day, in the imperial study of the palace.
A loud shout full of thunderous anger sounded: "Nonsense!"
The people inside and outside the hall immediately bowed down and lowered their eyebrows, but their expressions did not show panic.
"Come on, pull out this person who beheads the people with this evil word!"
As soon as the words fell, a hoarse cry sounded, "Your Majesty, what you said is true, that Shuxi City Lord Yang Xi has indeed colluded with the traitor and bewitched the evil demons, and I also ask Your Majesty to arrest him immediately and return to Beijing, otherwise once the tiger is raised, the consequences will be unimaginable, Your Majesty!"
"Presumptuous!"
"Drag it out!"
After a while, I saw a middle-aged man wearing the armor of the border town being dragged out of the main hall by the guards with a miserable expression.
At this time, a fifty-year-old man slowly arrived, and the middle-aged town general grabbed the old man's sleeve robe in a panic as if he had seen a savior, and said urgently:
"Prime Minister, everything you say is true, there is not half a lie, please save the Prime Minister!
The fifty-year-old man glanced at him, and after tugging at his robe, he stepped forward and ignored the man.
The middle-aged town general looked stunned, his eyes showed despair and doubt, and he was even more unwilling.
He threw himself forward like crazy, but it was difficult to break free from the grasp of the Ouchi guards, and he was dragged out of the palace with a crazy scream.
The snow knife suddenly fell, and with a click, its head fell to the ground.
As for the fifty-year-old man, after entering the hall, he whispered to the yellow-robed man who was reading wildly: "Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine." ”
A man in a yellow robe
The shape stiffened, and he looked up at the fifty-year-old man expressionlessly.
At this time, without waiting for the yellow-robed man's consent, the guards and eunuchs in the palace who seemed to have been prepared for a long time presented a bowl of crimson thick sauce.
Bright as blood, scarlet and fishy, suspected to be the essence blood of some kind of demon beast.
But the middle-aged man seemed to have long been used to it, and without hesitation, he served it to his mouth and drank it all.
The fifty-year-old man showed appreciation in his eyes, and said softly: "This deer antler blood is a gift from the Nanmang Demon King, and it has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and nourishing the blood. After Your Majesty finished drinking, remember to refine a few more drops of essence blood, and give birth to dragon children and grandchildren for me. ”
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, staring at the fifty-year-old man deadly, pursing his lips and saying nothing.
The old man stood with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant, even if he was stared at by the lord of Qingsong Country like this, he still handled it calmly.
He is the current prime minister of Qingsong Kingdom.
Cui Yong!
The man in the yellow robe is none other than Yang Yan, the lord of Qingsong Country!
Yang Yan's face was ruddy, and his momentum was like a rainbow, not like he was seriously ill.
But only he knew that since he was poured into this strange blood soup five years ago, his cultivation had begun to stagnate, and he had been stuck in the middle of Jindan for several years.
And the culprit of all this is standing in front of him unharmed, but as one of the three lords of Tianshu, he can't help it.
I also have to watch as the bottleneck of my own cultivation continues to thicken, and the hope of climbing the true realm is becoming more and more slim.
He once resisted, killed several palace guards and eunuchs, and did not drink a drop for months.
In the end, he was not injured in the slightest, and was even stronger than ever.
But his favorite youngest son and little princess died violently one after another, and there were no bones left.
The loyal ministers of the DPRK and China were inexplicably killed several people, all of whom were exterminated and implicated.
And when such a shocking thing happened, the Qingsong government and the opposition not only did not have the slightest turmoil, but became more and more stable as Mount Tai.
It seems that those loyal ministers and righteous elders are traitors and filthy ministers who corrupt Qingsong.
He was immediately horrified and shuddered.
It wasn't until that moment that he realized how much of a hidden danger the founding lord had left behind for him to lose these descendants.
Nearly half of the people in the court are controlled by the 'Shu Mink', and the rest are either their echoes or cowardly ministers who can only make promises.
Cui Yong said softly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Shuxi City Rebellion Party has recruited a cultivator?
Yang Yan's eyes drooped, his heart tightened quietly, and he said expressionlessly: "How can the rebellious ministers and thieves get the help of heaven, but it's just wishful thinking." ”
Cui Yong smiled lightly, ignoring the insinuations of Yang Yan's words, and after looking around, he suddenly asked, "Your Majesty has a habit of living?"
When Yang Yan heard this, Huo Ran raised his head, his bright yellow sleeve robe flew up, and an extremely suppressed anger surged into his heart, as if he was on the verge of an outburst.
He said word by word: "Could it be that the prime minister is so patient that he can't even wait for the last bit of time for the widow?"
Cui Yong seemed to be stunned, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood, the old minister is worried that Your Majesty will live here for a long time and be bored in vain." ”
Yang Yan waved his hand indifferently and said: "Prime Minister rest assured, the widow is fine, and a little hardship is not a defense." ”
Cui Yong's old face bloomed with a smile, like a chrysanthemum blooming, full of spring.
However, such a kind scene in Yang Yan's eyes made him extremely nauseous and retching, and the vomiting in his heart became more and more intense.
Cui Yong smiled and stroked his beard, not realizing that he seemed so disgusting in the eyes of His Majesty the Lord of the Kingdom.
He smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty lives in peace, we don't have to move to the Qing Palace to enjoy happiness." ”
Yang Yan trembled,
Anger almost erupted from his eyes.
He almost gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "The prime minister has every opportunity, and he would be so concerned about such a trivial matter as the discomfort of the widow, which really makes me very frightened." ”
Cui Yong stroked his beard and smiled, waved his hand again and again, and said: "No, Your Majesty is the king of a country, and at least there must be a greeting." ”
Immediately, in Yang Yan's resentful, painful, struggling, and even resentful eyes, he stared at Cui Yong's back until he completely walked out of the hall.
I don't know how long it has passed, and the sound of the rope sounded outside the hall again, and it was the eunuch who had delivered medicine before.
Yang Yan immediately burst into a roar and said, "Get out"
The eunuch's face was gloomy, as if there was a sneer, but there was pain in his eyes.
After a while, he bowed down to Yang Yan and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, please Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body."
Yang Yan leaned forward suddenly, drew a sword from behind and slashed at the eunuch's shoulder.
With a thud, the blade sliced through the brocade and embedded it in its shoulder bones.
He immediately shouted, crashed into the imperial case with the seal, wolf hair, and edict, and smashed everything on Yang Yan's body, looking like crazy.
However, the eunuchs and guards on duty outside the hall noticed the sound in the hall and immediately ran in to hold the eunuch down.
Yang Yan's hand was stained with blood and stabbed again, and he was about to take advantage of the situation to kill the eunuch, but the guard commander took a step forward indifferently and knocked the sword in Yang Yan's hand away.
Yang Yan was immediately furious and shouted: "Dog minion, you are so bold!!"
The commander of the guards said respectfully, neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, this person dares to assassinate Your Majesty, and he really deserves death." But Your Majesty is a body of gold, how can you stain blood with your own hands? He will be sent to the Three Law Divisions for severe punishment immediately!"
Yang Yan's angry muscles burst out, and he pointed at the guard commander and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he screamed hysterically, "Get out of !!!"
The commander of the guards then bowed down and withdrew, and under Yang Yan's dead gaze, he dragged out the guards who were still unwilling on their faces.
When it came to no man's land, the commander of the guard slapped the eunuch in the face and roared, "You are crazy, dare to offend Your Majesty?"
The eunuch said hatefully: "It's just a puppet, Your Majesty!"
The commander of the guards was furious and was about to beat him again, but the eunuch grinned, "Damn the dog emperor, it's really ruthless!"
I don't know if it's because of years of friendship or other reasons, the commander of the guards frowned and said nothing.
The eunuch raised his head and said, "You let me stab him once, just once, if I can't kill him, I'll end it myself." ”
The commander of the guards immediately slapped him to the ground.
Then he grabbed his ear and shouted: "You want to die, Lao Tzu still has a wife and children." ”
The eunuch stiffened, and then fell silent.
Then the commander of the guards looked around, and said in a low voice: "Lao Tzu sent you madman out of the palace, find a place where no one is there to hide in the future, and live in peace, don't wade into this muddy water again." ”
The eunuch was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.
At the same time, in the imperial study, in the shadows, Yang Yan spread out the blood-stained paper ball in his hand with an expressionless face, and a few lines of familiar handwriting jumped on it.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Yang Yan's gaze was deep, like that thousand-year-old pool, deep and endless.
A flash of light flashed, and the paper ball disappeared into ashes, turning into nothingness.
In the dark curtain, there seemed to be a lonely soul moaning and weeping, Yang Yan turned a deaf ear and muttered to himself: "If it is not broken, it will not stand, and Nirvana will be reborn." ”
Qing Song wants to return to the royal family, and he must do it all over again!
And hope is in the hands of those who laid it back then.
The eldest prince Yang Xi!
