Chapter 532: Monster Horse Master
Located next to the palace, the Horse Mansion had already been besieged by thousands of military forces at this time.
The crowded alleys were crowded with heavily armed sergeants, and groups of cavalry rode around the area, nodding silently when they met each other.
On the roof of the house, by the windowsill, there were all archers who drew their crossbows to the bridle. Arrows glowing with cold light pointed straight at the closed gate of the Horse Mansion.
The entire area has been sealed off. When a gust of wind blows, it raises the fallen leaves in the sky. All residents were ordered to stay at home, not to go out, not to talk, and not to spread the word.
The atmosphere was solemn.
In the Horse Mansion, by the window on the second floor of a three-story attic, a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was quietly opening a crack in the bamboo curtain and looking outward.
The man was dressed in a black gold-inlaid robe, with a large purple gem hanging from his bun. Although he is dressed as a scribe, his burly figure is not inferior to that of a military general.
After a long time, he sighed lightly and put down the bamboo curtain.
"How's it going?"
Behind him sat a beautiful woman.
Snow-white skin, a long pink dress like a blooming pink lily, and a white hosta inserted in her long hair combed high. In that temperament, there is an indescribable grace and luxury. It's just that the face is a little haggard, and between the eyebrows, there is a lingering melancholy.
Around her, there were two other children.
The older one looked like he was in his teens, and the younger one looked like he was five or six years old.
In the swaddling clothes in the woman's arms, there was also a baby.
At this time. The woman had the child with her. They all looked at the handsome man with blank eyes.
The man hesitated. sighed lightly and said softly: "It's still the same, the entire Horse Mansion is surrounded by groups." His Majesty had already even moved back the troops on the frontier. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and sat down on a bench beside him, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and brought it to his lips, but only sipped it. It seems to be thinking about something. The eyebrows furrowed.
"That'...... What should I do next? Otherwise, the concubine will go into the palace and talk to her father. ”
"It's useless, I've already said what I should have said before, he will only think that I have cast a demon spell to confuse you. As soon as you enter the palace, you will most likely be put under house arrest by His Majesty, and at that time, our family will be separated. ”
As he spoke, the man drank the tea.
The woman blinked blankly and lowered her head to find that her three children were all staring at her. The older one reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
The woman quickly smiled and hugged them into her arms. He said in a low voice: "Don't worry, my mother won't go, we are a family of five, and we won't be separated." ”
"Why did Grandpa arrest my father?" asked the younger child in a low voice.
"My grandfather was deceived by the slanderers, and in a few days, he will definitely come to his senses. ”
These two people, the male is the third horse Zhuang wolf of the Baoxiang Kingdom, and the female is the third princess of the Baoxiang Kingdom, Baihua Shy, as for the three children, they were all born to them.
After a moment of silence, there was a burst of horses' hooves outside the house, and the horse master got up again and walked towards the windowsill, and lifted the bamboo curtain to take a look.
"How's it going?" asked the princess again.
"It's nothing, just the patrolling guards. ”
The princess said softly: "If you go on like this, you will be worried every day, and it is not a way to do it." ”
"There are many ways, but they just can't be used. ”
"Can't be used?"
The concubine glanced back at the princess and snorted: "If you want to fight, all the forces of this treasure elephant country are gathered in one place, and it is not my opponent." Even if I don't cast mana, as long as I repair a book and send it to the barracks, tomorrow, there will be a natural mutiny. Even General Xi Yun, who was besieging the Horse Mansion, had secretly sent me a secret letter long before the siege of this place, asking how to deal with His Majesty's will. ”
Saying that, the horse shook his head helplessly, and then said: "These generals are all hand-picked by me, how can I believe that I am a demon and meet me with a few words? If it wasn't for me nodding that day, where would Your Majesty be able to transfer soldiers and horses to besiege the palace and guard the palace?"
The princess bowed her head slightly and sat motionless.
"Don't worry, I won't do that. ”
Hearing this, the princess forced a smile. After hesitating for a long time, she whispered again: "You...... Is it really a demon?"
"Why, you still don't believe it? Didn't you tell you the first time we met?"
"I was ...... Thought you were kidding. How can there be such a good youkai in this world? ”
Looking at the princess, the colt said softly: "Actually, strictly speaking, I'm not a demon, I should be a ...... The gods who secretly descended to earth. The demon who was recruited by the heavenly court is no longer a demon. In that great battle more than 600 years ago, the vitality of the heavenly court was greatly damaged, and there were many empty seats in the immortal position, so he had to fill the vacancy with the demon recruited by the mortal world. And in your previous life, you were the maid of the Heavenly Court Phi Xiang Palace. You were sentenced to the fairy well, and I came after you. ”
The princess did not answer.
Lowering her head, she gently stroked her eldest son's forehead with her hand.
On that forehead, there was a small handful of wolf down.
Not only that, but the child's ears are also like wolves, but they are covered under a special wig, and they can't see clearly on weekdays.
The same was true of the other two children, including the infant baby.
More than ten years ago, the Baoxiang Kingdom was just a small country in Xiniuhe Prefecture, and it even needed to pay tribute to other surrounding kingdoms in order to settle down.
However, this sudden appearance of this man has brought earth-shaking changes to the country.
He first joined the troops of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom in the midst of danger, took the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand armies, and single-handedly turned the tide, forcibly pulling the country back from the brink of destruction.
Immediately afterwards, the young general, who had just received his reward, proposed to the king that he should give him 5,000 soldiers and horses, and he would be able to take the enemy's capital directly. The condition is that after the matter is completed, he will marry the third princess.
Everyone thought that he was carried away by the victory and that he wanted to be a colt and that he wanted to go crazy.
Don't say 5,000 soldiers and horses, that's 50,000. No general in the whole country dared to take on this task.
Like everyone else. King of the Elephant Kingdom. I didn't believe this old general who spoke wildly, and politely refused his request.
As a result, he attacked overnight with 500 of his own soldiers.
With no backup, no food and grass, and no baggage, he went deep into the enemy territory alone, however, he really succeeded. The enemy's army of 30,000 was taken by surprise. A thousand miles away.
In just one month, he ended the fifteen-year war and sent back the heads of all the members of the enemy royal family. Since then, no one dares to underestimate the Treasure Elephant Country within a radius of thousands of miles.
Remembering the first time she saw her colt, the princess couldn't help but smile sweetly.
On that day, he rode a tall horse and returned victoriously with a blood-stained banner, and the entire capital cheered for the god of war.
She wore a veil and changed her makeup. mixed in the crowd shouted hoarsely, and slapped his palms red. Like an enthusiastic little fan.
They hadn't met, but he recognized her at a glance.
Riding his horse, he sped away from his team and came to her, kneeling on one knee and holding a scroll in front of her in both hands. It was a map of the enemy country, and a dowry he was going to give to the king of the Elephant Nation, a territory three times the size of the Elephant Nation.
At that moment, everyone was looking at Her Royal Highness, and she felt like she was about to melt into that hot gaze.
He said in a voice that only he and the princess could hear, that he was a wolf demon, one of the twenty-eight stars of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly General Kui Wood Wolf. And the princess, who was the maid of the Phi Xiang Palace, was sentenced to the fairy well because of her mistake, so he followed. He said he wanted to marry her and asked her if she would like to marry?
In fact, she didn't hear anything clearly at that time, a surge of blood surged, she had already been carried away by the sudden love, and only remembered that he asked if she would like to marry him. So, she nodded desperately, not wanting anything reserved.
Immediately afterwards, the king agreed to their marriage, and every house in the royal capital was hung with red silk to celebrate, and the feast was held for three months, and the whole country celebrated.
At that moment, she was undoubtedly the happiest woman in heaven and earth.
After his marriage, he was entrusted with the important task of rectifying the bureaucratic system, strengthening the military command, and building water conservancy as if he were playing tricks...... Every policy is just right, and every action is effective. Even what crops should be planted in what year, he knows exactly what crops, and he has never missed anything.
In just a dozen years, he has turned an otherwise poor country into a hegemon. Because of this, he has a prestige in this country that far exceeds that of the king, and some people dare to disobey his orders, but no one dares to disobey his orders.
For those who disobey him will be spurned by all.
If the story ends here, maybe it will become a good story that will be sung through the ages.
Unfortunately, nothing in this world is ever so perfect.
When the first child was born that day, it already frightened everyone in the Horse Mansion. All along, they have tried all kinds of ways to keep their children out of contact with the outside world. At that time, everyone who knew, including the princess herself, thought that this peculiar appearance was just a coincidence. Who knows, the second child is like this, and then the third is still the same.
After all, paper can't contain the fire, and there have been various rumors in the market for a long time, and until a few days ago...... Eventually, things became what they are now.
"What?" said the pony as he walked slowly toward the princess and whispered, "Do you regret marrying me?"
The princess shook her head slowly: "I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and this tribulation should also be spent with you." ”
"Don't mind if I'm a demon?"
"It doesn't matter. ”
"So what's important?"
"The important thing is that you are my husband. ”
As she spoke, the princess looked up at the colt and smiled faintly.
The colt was slightly stunned, stretched out his hand, and hugged the princess into his arms.
"Rest assured, no one can part with us. Even the Jade Emperor can't. ”
......
At this time, in the palace, the elderly king of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom was pacing back and forth in the study, and his mouth was constantly muttering.
"That monster used demon magic to confuse almost everyone more than ten years ago, and even this king also fell in love with his way, so that the third princess who married this king became the concubine of my treasure elephant country. Over the years, he has been a powerful and blessed country in my treasure elephant country, and he is above ten thousand people under one person...... No, it's not just one man who is above ten thousand, sometimes he doesn't even dare to listen to the king's will. Those courtiers, one by one, are also yang and yin, and they are obviously all deceived by him! If this demon is not removed, it will be difficult to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"
"Then why did he do this?" asked Xuanzang softly on the side.
"Why? Why is this?" King Baoxiang was furious and roared, "It must be for the throne of this king!
"And coveting the beauty of the third princess. The minister on the side chimed in.
"Yes, yes, yes, it must be so!" King Baoxiang nodded violently, looked at Xuanzang, and repeated repeatedly: "It must be so!"
Xuanzang looked at the canopy beside him.
I only heard Tianpeng cough twice, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is another inside story in this matter." ”
"What's the inside story, you say!"
Taking a deep breath, Tianpeng said, "This monster has seen a lot of people in the bottom." But throughout the ages, monsters have not returned to the mountains and forests, and they will run to the city-state for the sake of beauty and royal power, which is really rare. If he really knows the art of change as described by His Majesty, and knows how to observe the wind and measure the rain, then at least he has the realm of transforming into a god. Such a monster, wherever it is placed, is a hegemon, and it is impossible to take the risk of running here to be a colt. ”
"What?" King Baoxiang raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Do you think this king is lying, or do you think that my Baoxiang country's concubine is worthless?"
"Don't dare. ”
The minister on the side said in a low voice: "Even if it is not for the beauty of the kingship, it is also for the mountains of treasures in the treasury of my treasure elephant country." ”
Gritting his teeth, the King of Treasure Elephant spat heavily: "Yes! It must be so! As long as you get rid of this monster for this king, whatever you want, this king will give it to you! The horse of my dignified Treasure Elephant Kingdom turned out to be a monster, if it spreads, how will this king save face? How can this king face the ancestors of my Treasure Elephant Kingdom?"
Immediately afterwards, the King of Baoxiang cursed again, and the more he scolded, the more unpleasant it became, and the more he scolded, the more unbelievable it became.
Xuanzang and Tianpeng on the side listened quietly and remained silent.
At the end, King Baoxiang looked up at the gray sky outside the window, and snorted heavily: "It's getting late today, so I won't embarrass you, so let's rest first." I've nourished enough spirits, and I'll get rid of the demon for this king tomorrow!
Shake it off and leave.
Without waiting for the two to answer, the attendants on the side had already invited them out of the study.
Along the way, Tianpeng and Xuanzang looked at each other several times, but they were only silent. And the guards around them all looked at them quietly from time to time, and there seemed to be a strange taste in their eyes.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they saw the black bear spirit and the little white dragon waiting outside the gate, and they were led by the guards to a secluded courtyard in the city. After settling down, the guards who led the way left the courtyard, but they did not leave completely, but surrounded the courtyard, as if they were afraid that they would run away.
As soon as the guard closed the gate, the little white dragon hurriedly asked, "Didn't you want us to subdue the demon?
"The Great Sage is not here, what the King of the Treasure Elephant said sounds unreasonable......" As he spoke, Xuanzang turned to look at the canopy on the side.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Bailong looked at the two of them with some confusion, and said, "Is it still something terrible, the Great Sage is not going to come out?" Could it be that the three of us together are not enough for him to fight?"
After a little silence, Tianpeng said softly: "There is something strange about this matter, and we can't make a conclusion for the time being." Tonight, I will first visit the Horse Mansion at night to check the truth and truth. (To be continued......)
