Chapter 290: The Struggle for Domination (4)
On a stormy night, the thunder flashed, the demon emperor didn't sleep all night, and kept reading the papers, more than 30 volumes, which made the emperor a headache, he selected five outstanding volumes, and it was not easy to choose. As for Shen Lang, he also slept in the dead of night, and when he spent most of the night, he didn't know where to sleep.
The demon emperor looked at the sky, summoned the eunuch who was keeping vigil, asked the time, and found that when the night was halfway over, he left his troubles in his hands and wanted to go to sleep.
The night watchman asked with a stern expression, "Which Niangniang's brand is turning tonight?"
The Demon Emperor shook his head. "No one turns it over, and I don't have the energy. Go straight to my dorm and sleep. No one is allowed to disturb you!"
When the night watchman saw the demon emperor say this, he didn't dare to say much, but the red envelope that had been received, he naturally wanted to return it, speaking of this demon emperor, this night watch eunuch is also very strange, this man's seven emotions and six desires are normal, only this demon emperor, since he ascended the throne, is only a month only to the harem once or twice, more than all stay in the middle palace between the front dynasty and the apse, but every day after dinner will go to the queen mother of the apse to ask for peace, and then see the queen in the evening, for this man and woman is modest. This also led to the concubine's cherishing of three times a month, and she must give money to the eunuch for the night vigil every night. I look forward to being blessed. In order to give birth to a descendant and have a dependence.
This night vigil eunuch also has rules, he must do things when he takes the money, and if he doesn't succeed, he will definitely return it the next day. Of course, there are also concubines who are not returned, but the night vigil eunuchs will also send someone back, just because if it is like this for a long time, the more people are owed, the more they owe, and it is difficult to pay it back. It's better to receive a gift once. The two are free.
If you encounter a bunch of people giving gifts at the same time, and the demon emperor is just about to turn over the brand, this night watch eunuch also has a way, put the signs of the concubines who gave gifts on the case, and naturally there is no gift. As a result, the eunuch who kept vigil must have three extra quick things every month.
But today, the eunuch who kept vigil also pinched the law, thinking that the demon emperor would turn over the cards tonight, and waited until the middle of the night, only waiting for the news, which also made the eunuch annoyed, but he also dared to be angry and dare not speak. After all, as a eunuch, he can only rely on the emperor, and only by relying on the emperor can he have the power he deserves.
After sending the demon emperor to sleep in the palace of the middle emperor, the eunuch was a little indignant when he went out. "The emperor is really wronged by himself for this part. What a waste. After saying this, the night watchman shook his head and left.
The demon emperor slept on the bed, with joy on his face. I don't know what spring and autumn dreams I am dreaming about. Soon the Demon Emperor frowned, and the panic on his face seemed to be afraid of something. Something seemed to shatter the original tranquility and beauty of the Demon Emperor in his deep sleep.
Ye Xuan and Hongrui found a hotel at random, and the store was also extremely cautious about those who came to stay at night, but there was nothing here that could prove their identity. But after seeing Ye Xuan come out with a golden ticket, he glanced at Ye Xuan a few more times, and then said, "Where is the guest officer?" "What this shop thinks is that if it is a foreigner, it should be slaughtered, and if it is a local, it will have to be weighed. Just because in this secluded capital city, in Luoyang City, if a stone is smashed on a person, it may be a five-grade official rank, and since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and merchants have not fought with officials.
Ye Xuan didn't bother to arrange it at this time, and Hu Kou made up: "I am from Yecheng and came to Beijing to report on my work, this is my eldest sister." The store arranged two rooms and allowed us to stay overnight. ”
When the shopkeeper heard the word "debriefing", his eyes twitched slightly. Then he smiled and said: "Guest officer, please go upstairs There are just two private rooms, Xiao Er, lead the way." ”
Xiao Er, who was already sleeping on the table in the guest hall, heard this, and also got up and said, "Okay." This little er's steps are steady, and Ye Xuan keenly feels that this little er's legs are good.
This little second also knew what the shopkeeper meant, and deliberately picked two clean rooms for the two of them to sleep, this hotel is quite big in Ye Xuan's opinion, and the screens and furniture inside are quite meaningful. This is a culture peculiar to this generation. A kind of national art.
The room was set, and just when Ye Xuan was about to undress and sleep, Hongrui came to Ye Xuan's room in the form of light smoke, which was so startled that Ye Xuan stopped when he was undressing. Puzzled, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Hongrui looked at Ye Xuan and shook her head. "How long do we need to stay here? I felt something strange about this world. A breath of killing. ”
Ye Xuan was a little cautious when he heard this. "You can feel this?"
Hongrui nodded, "I was originally a Bodhi of the West Sea, and it is a hundred times more difficult for plants to transform demons than animals, and a thousand times more difficult than human beings to cultivate immortals. Naturally, there are some unique benefits. This keen intuition is one of them. Such a blunt statement is also a performance of believing in Ye Xuan.
The two don't talk much along the way, but they always have a comfortable feeling, two "real" people get along, without the slightest false politeness, it is their own cordial feeling.
Ye Xuan thought of what Song Daru said before, the masters of the human race in this Nanzhan Continent all left. There seems to be a catastrophe. Although Ye Xuan had heard the rumor that Nan Zhanzhou had a catastrophe several times, he never took it to heart, because everything was calm and there was no sign of turmoil. Except to go to the desert to rescue the elite. But this elite is only tens of thousands of horses, and in Ye Xuan's opinion, these tens of thousands of people can't make any waves compared to Yecheng and the regular army in this imperial city. If it is turbulent, it has its own symptoms. Could it be that he is really a fan of the authorities?
Just as Ye Xuan was thinking, Hongrui said: "Some time ago, I felt a force that destroyed the world and appeared in this Nanzhan Continent, but it disappeared in an instant. Now there are many high-ranking beings in this imperial city. For example, the big demon in Confucian clothes we saw today, in my opinion, what he said was not calculated by him, but that he knew some kind of secret, and only went to the palace to investigate. ”
Ye Xuan pondered. "I will leave, not now, I want to see again, how will it develop, it is not easy to come to Nanzhan Continent, if you don't see it all here, next time, I really don't know when I will be able to come to Nanzhan again." If this time it is really about the rise and fall of the Great Zhou, then let's waste a little time and see? The most important thing is the experience, and sometimes the result is not important. “
Hongrui looked at Ye Xuan's insistent face and sighed, but judging from her experience of living for so long. There is indeed some truth, many people paint cakes for themselves, or paint cakes for others, fantasizing about a happy ending, but there are few who achieve a happy ending, but in the process of reaching the goal, people will encounter all kinds of things, and then deal with various contradictions, and people will continue to grow.
