Thousands of Clouds and Mountains (2)
In the majestic hall, there is a majestic man, heroic and straight, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a crown of pearls hanging on his head, and a splendid robe.
His eyes were closed, and he was so indifferent that he couldn't get close.
He was so high that he couldn't lift his head.
He is not angry and self-threatening, his eyes are open, and his two gazes are enough to intimidate all beings.
His eyes are extremely confident, not evil but strict.
He is Xiao Ying, the monarch of the Qianzhu Kingdom who shocked the world, and the iron-blooded monarch who the world talked about.
He used a sharp sword to recast the glory of Qianzhu, built an impregnable military fortress, and now has power over the world and is proud of the princes. If he still has any troubles, it should be that he has not yet ruled the world. However, in fact, he does not bother about this matter, but he is troubled by one thing outside of it.
He had been sitting in the dragon chair for a full hour, neither speaking nor listening.
He closed his eyes one moment, opened them again, lowered them one moment, and raised them again.
No one knew what he was thinking, and no one knew that he was just in a daze.
Yes, he was completely in a daze, how could he not be in a daze? Because just before the court, he had just heard a joke that he had heard for the first time in his life.
It was a joke, but he never laughed, and he was still unsure whether the joke he heard was real.
This annoyed him, but he could not tell his courtiers about it.
Of course, the civil and military officials also noticed Xiao Ying's strange appearance, and they all began to feel strange and curious, but they didn't dare to look left and right, or even look at Xiao Ying, because they were all very afraid of the young iron-blooded emperor in front of them.
Standing closer to Xiao Ying is the right prime minister, who is old and experienced. Even if he found that there were many people staring at him with their eyes, he all looked dazzled and deaf.
No one dared to speak out, and of course he didn't dare to speak out. Everyone didn't dare to look at Xiao Ying, and of course he didn't dare.
Anyway, no matter what Xiao Ying is doing in a daze, he at least came out to go to court, which is much better than him not even showing his face.
As long as Xiao Ying can get out of the court, the right prime minister has nothing else to ask for, and he has no other worries and worries.
Gonggong Su, who was standing beside Xiao Ying, quietly paid attention to His Highness's situation, and suddenly coughed very softly.
The sound was very small and soft, but it was enough to arouse Xiao Ying's attention.
Xiao Ying came back to his senses, stared at Gonggong Su quietly, and then swept his cold eyes at the military officials of His Royal Highness, and was silent for a long time before tilting his head and whispering to Gonggong Su: "You can go down to the court today, right?"
Gonggong Su's shoulders trembled, and he swept around His Highness lightly, and saw that no one noticed what Xiao Ying had just said, so he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded quietly at Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying cleared his throat and said to the officials: "Since there is nothing to report today, let's retreat." ”
This is the beginning of the court without really starting, and the next court?
Everyone looked at each other, but they could only bow and retreat, and then go home with their own hearts and minds, and continue to speculate about the holy will.
It's just that no matter how they speculate, it is impossible to guess Xiao Ying's thoughts, because the holy will is unpredictable.
After the cultural relics officials all retreated, Xiao Ying slowly exhaled and leaned back on the dragon chair.
The door of the temple has been closed, and Xiao Ying has no need to worry about his image being seen by others.
But it can't be said that no one saw it, because Gonggong Su was next to him, and he wasn't alone. In the dark corner of the main hall, there were more than a dozen black-clothed people.
Each of them wore a huge black cloak with a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg pinned to it.
These people cling to the darkness like ghosts.
Xiao Ying squinted his eyes, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he looked at it, he only felt that he no longer had the majesty he had before, but had become a little evil.
"How many years have you been with me?" he asked suddenly, so indifferently.
A man in black stepped forward quickly, knelt down and replied, "It's been twenty-three years." ”
Xiao Ying supported his chin with his hand and smiled lazily: "It's only twenty-three years? ”
No one could understand what the "no wonder" meant, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry in his strange tone.
If he is just a majestic and iron-blooded emperor, then his "holy will" is still not difficult to guess, but he is not, his personality is changeable, just like his rich and wonderful life.
"I really didn't think that you would bring me so many surprises, it really surprised me. Xiao Ying smiled, "Interesting, really interesting." ”
Hearing him say this, everyone immediately knelt on the ground.
Xiao Ying squinted his eyes and said lazily: "Lou Qianyun, how much surprise will you bring to me?"
Although his voice was not loud, his tone was not stiff and indifferent, and his sitting posture was even more improper, but his words smashed into the bottom of people's hearts every word, making people's hearts beat inexplicably.
Xiao Ying seemed to be smiling, with a slightly raised chin, and he really looked like he was moody.
He was truly pleasantly surprised, because since he ascended the throne, he had never tasted betrayal.
Lou Qianyun and the others actually dared to betray him, which he never expected, but he was not surprised at all, because he was a more cold-blooded and ruthless person than Lou Qianyun and the others. Only the more cold-blooded and ruthless people are, they will not be afraid of being betrayed.
Lou Qianyun saves people?
Xiao Ying smiled.
How could he not laugh? He never thought that a person like Lou Qianyun would actually save people.
How can a weapon that can only kill people save people?
The people he cultivated with his own hands, could he not understand?
Lou Qianyun is ruthless, and Yanying Lou has always only cultivated ruthless people.
How can a killer have feelings?
Xiao Ying was really amused, he was imagining, imagining what a cold-blooded and ruthless person like Lou Qianyun would be like when he saved people?
The killer he had personally cultivated was huddled in a temple with a group of people at this time.
This temple is the City God Temple that has only killed people before.
The temple keeper had been thrown into the woods not far behind the temple, and there were not only the remains of the temple keepers in this woods, but countless people lying here.
These people are the mountain people who went to be slaughtered by the Banquet Shadow Building first, and their corpses are all over the field, and their eyes are full of blood.
Lou Qianyun sat at the feet of the city god, and then looked at his feet, pondering.
At his feet, there is a bamboo basket, and in the bamboo basket are two crying babies.
A baby's cry must be one of the most unpleasant sounds in the world.
Lou Qianyun furrowed her brows, eager to cover her ears.
But he didn't cover his ears, for his hands were lighting candles, but he couldn't concentrate, and his heart wasn't as calm as it had been.
What does he light candles for in broad daylight?
The temple door was locked, and two people were standing outside the door.
One is a man in black with a knife, his name is Lou Qianyi.
The other is a man in black with two empty hands, his name is Lou Qianmo.
The two of them stared coldly at the temple door, listening coldly to the movement inside the door.
Lou Qianmo suddenly said coldly: "He should kill those people." ”
Lou Qianyi nodded in agreement.
Lou Qianmo said coldly: "We should kill him." ”
Lou Qianyi still nodded in agreement.
Lou Qianmo turned her head to look at Lou Qianyi and asked, "But he didn't kill them, and we didn't kill him either." ”
Lou Qianyi said slowly: "So we can't go back." ”
Lou Qianmo was silent for a moment before continuing: "We actually betrayed that person. ”
That person naturally refers to Xiao Ying, they are all iron-blooded dead soldiers who belong to the Banquet Shadow Building, they should have belonged to this organization all their lives, and they should have obeyed Xiao Ying's dispatch all their lives. But now, because of a few people, they have betrayed the people they could least betray.
Lou Qianyi smiled bitterly, and then said to Lou Qianmo: "But you didn't ask the reason for betraying that person with Lou Qianyun." ”
Yes, they all followed Lou Qianyun's decisions, but they didn't know what the consequences of their decisions would have on them.
Lou Qianmo sighed lightly and said, "I suddenly regretted it." ”
Lou Qianyi changed the broadsword to the other hand, "Oh?
Lou Qianmo nodded, "I want to go, I'll leave now, I'll leave immediately." ”
Lou Qianyi asked: "Where are you going?"
Lou Qianmo looked at the blue sky and sighed: "The sky is high and the birds can fly." ”
Lou Qianyi suddenly laughed, "I'm afraid that no matter how high the sky is, there are also invisible birdcages." ”
Lou Qianmo didn't laugh, he was originally a bird, but he could only be a bird when he belonged to the Banquet Building, and he couldn't fly after leaving the Banquet Building.
After a long time, Lou Qianmo sighed and said, "It seems that it is." ”
Then, coldly, he saw a man coming from a distance, and stopped in front of them.
This person, they all know.
"Are you here to kill us?" Lou Qianmo asked coldly.
"I'm not here to kill you. The man replied with a grin.
"Then you are here to deliver the message. ”
The man smiled, "I was just ordered to come and see." ”
Lou Qianyi said cautiously: "What are you looking at?"
The man laughed, "Let's see what has changed in you." ”
Lou Qianmo narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"
The man smiled and said, "Your Majesty wants to see what kind of changes will happen after you leave the Banquet Studio?"
"And what about after you read it?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little bit more talkative. ”
Lou Qianmo looked at the man and said coldly: "Then have you seen it clearly now?"
The man nodded, "Yes." ”
Lou Qianmo said again: "Now that you have seen it clearly, should you leave now?"
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, and could only nod and smile bitterly: "Yes." ”
Lou Qianmo looked at the man coldly and said coldly: "Then you can already go." ”
After hearing this, the man shook his head very helplessly, and sighed: "It seems that after you left the Banquet Studio, you are more able to speak, and I think it was my negligence in discipline that caused the three of you to defect now." Maybe it's my fault, and I should ask him for my guilt when I get back. ”
