Chapter 57: The Audience

In the endless peach blossom forest.

A woman with a white veil on her face, whose face was difficult to see, knelt respectfully in front of a gray-haired old man with her head bowed.

The woman was tall and had long, inky black hair that flowed down the floor.

"I heard that this time, the title of leader was taken by a young man called the Immortal Sword?"

"You seem to have been in contact with him many times?"

"So you tell me, what kind of person is the Immortal Sword?"

The old man sat on a wooden chair and his gaze swept to the woman kneeling on the ground.

He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, exuding a majesty of solitude.

The autumn wind is bleak, blowing people's hearts can't help but feel a chill.

The woman was wearing a bright red palace dress and looked extremely enchanting.

She raised her head slowly, her bright eyes full of temptation against the backdrop of peach blossoms on the ground.

"Immortal Sword Lin Xuan is a very dangerous character, a character that cannot be speculated by common sense, and a character that cannot be described in words. ”

"He's a madman, a lawless madman!"

"If you can, Your Majesty had better not meet him!"

She looked at the old man in front of her, with care, respect, and reluctance in her eyes.

The breeze came slowly, blowing the peach blossoms all over the ground.

The withered peach blossoms fluttered in the wind, and they swirled in mid-air with the cold wind.

The cold wind stopped, and they eventually staggered to the ground.

The falling flowers are scattered, and at this moment the peach blossom tree is filled with a bleak and lonely atmosphere.

The old man waved his hand, his face full of melancholy, and he sighed: "It's okay! As long as he's not stupid, he won't make a move on me!"

The woman in the palace costume shook her head, and there was a trace of emotion in her expression, and she said softly: "How can Your Majesty say such frustrating words! Your Majesty ......"

"Okay......" The old man's face sank, and he interrupted, "I know very well what is going on with this body!"

"If you say anything like longevity, then it's avoided, I still have some self-knowledge!"

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the fate that people cannot escape, and I have already seen these days. ”

"That's what it is...... My life!"

The palace woman's eyebrows condensed slightly, she hesitated for a while, and then said softly: "The Murong clan has already stored enough grain for a million troops to squander for decades at the border pass, this is not a small amount, presumably he started preparing it more than ten years ago!"

"Humph!"

The old man snorted coldly: "Rebel thief!"

"When I was acting for the heavens, why didn't I see that these rebellious ministers and thieves had different intentions for my eldest brother?"

"Back then, they kept saying that they were only loyal to the royal family, only to the emperor, but now?"

"Today...... They betrayed me!"

The woman in the palace costume lowered her head, her face couldn't help but turn a little pale, her breathing was also a little disordered, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is angry!"

At this moment, it seemed that the temperature of the entire peach forest had dropped a few points. It was as if they could both feel the majesty of each other, and they were silent.

The old man looked lonely, his tone was a little low, and he said with emotion: "In the end, I am still alone......

"I'm old, it's not just my age, it's my heart! I'm old, I don't want to toss anymore!"

"If she's alive...... I will definitely show these thieves how miserable the fate of betraying me is!"

"It's a pity...... She's gone......"

Hearing his words, the woman in the palace dress trembled in her heart.

How nice it would be if there was a man who treated himself so infatuatedly!

Pity......

Those men who take a fancy to themselves covet their beauty.

The red face is easy to age, and after a hundred years, she is just a dry bone.

"Your Majesty, but you remembered the Queen Mother?"

"yes......"

The old man's eyes showed a look of remembrance, and he sighed: "How good it would be if she was still alive!"

"Although she abandoned me and went to the cold palace back then, I never blamed her. I have always kept her the position of queen, and even after she left, I did not let any other woman replace her!"

"In my heart, she is the only queen of the Great Zhou!"

The palace woman's eyes flashed, she slowly lowered her head, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty is really an infatuated person!"

The old man picked up a peach blossom on the ground, put it in front of his nose, and sniffed it gently.

He glanced at the woman in red in front of him, his face was gloomy, and he asked coldly, "Do you think of someone?"

"The man...... Isn't it the Immortal Sword?"

"You are innocent, why bother him to wade into troubled waters?"

The palace woman's face changed, her body trembled, she hurriedly lowered her head, and the whole person almost fell to the ground.

"I'm just a little curious, and I don't have any other thoughts!"

"Curious?" the old man's eyes froze, and he said lightly, "You'd better accept this curiosity, otherwise you will be very miserable." A woman often falls in love with a man out of curiosity, and once she does, she is doomed to never go back!"

"You are my last pawn, you are the future queen, I will not allow any mistakes!"

"I heard that in Yangzhou, he shot a sword at you, and finally returned in vain?"

"Tell Your Majesty, it is true!"

"He's strong at swordsmanship?"

"Very strong!"

"Can you dodge his sword with your strength?"

"Can't!"

"But he didn't kill you!"

"Yes, he didn't kill me!"

Hear the words.

The old man looked thoughtful, and then he smiled lightly: "That's why you became curious about him?"

"Yes...... Since you were a child, you have been the stars holding the moon, how can you have suffered such grievances. You have doubts about your appearance because of him, and with such thoughts, you have become curious about him?"

"He must be afraid that he will fall in love with you with all his heart, so he swords you. This immortal sword is the same as me, a person who does great things!"

"Ryukyukihime...... Do you know why I let you wear a veil, why do you know why I never let you speak to me in your true face?"

The palace woman's eyes changed slightly, and she shook her head: "My subordinates don't know!"

Doesn't she know?

She knew, always known, but didn't dare to admit it, let alone say it.

He is a high emperor, even if he is his confidant, he must not guess his thoughts, which is a taboo for courtiers.

"Hah!"

The old man smiled, his smile full of mockery.

"The first time I saw you, my heart that followed the queen beat twice. ”

"I have always thought that I am meticulous in my love for the queen, and I will not change anything because of anyone, until I meet you......"

"I let you wear the veil because I don't want to see your face, I'm afraid to fall in love with you!"

The old man stood up from the wooden chair and slowly walked up to the palace woman, and he stretched out his old hand and gently lifted her cheek.

"No one in this world can resist your beauty. Even if a hard-hearted person sees you, that heart made of iron will be melted! Even a pure-hearted monk and Taoist priest will have a worldly mind when he sees you!"

"You don't need to doubt your charm, because no one can resist your charm!"

"If someone thinks they don't like you, they must be deceiving themselves!"

"You don't need to be interested in any man, because just a light smile is enough to make any man crazy about you!"

The old man shook his head and sat back down.

He is a dignified Ninety-Five Supreme, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and the existence of Megatron, but he will also be jealous of a woman's appearance.

This is a woman who can cause trouble in the world with her appearance!

If you want to overthrow the country, you don't need thousands of troops and horses, and you don't need the treasures of the rich country, just she alone is enough.

Luckily she's her subordinate! Luckily, I found her first!

Letting go of a person is a matter of an instant, but this moment is preceded by countless times to put down and pick up, as for letting go of her, this is something that cannot happen, it is impossible, never.

Otherwise......

He thought he could understand Lin Xuan's thoughts, a person who liked to control everything in his own hands, and would never allow uncontrollable people and things to appear around him.

If so...... It's ruined!

Was it because the Immortal Sword failed to kill her in the first place because of reluctance?

And what about yourself?

Why didn't I kill her in the first place?

Then...... But there is no such plan!

Under the withered peach tree.

The old man faced the autumn wind and let the slightly cold wind blow.

Smelling the thick fragrance of peach blossoms around him, he was a little distracted.

The past is gone, and even if he has stepped through thousands of mountains and rivers, he can't go back......

He was silent for a long time, and the whole peach forest fell silent, leaving only the breeze and falling flowers around him.

The old man took a deep breath, and he spoke again: "Which prince brought the Immortal Sword to Bai Yujing this time?"

The palace woman's eyes moved slightly, and she replied in a low voice: "King Liang!"

"King Liang?" the old man sneered: "I and she are both rare people in the world, why did you give birth to a waste who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it?"

"If he fights for a little anger, even if he pretends to be motivated, I will leave the position of the crown prince to him!"

The previous King of Liang liked to fight crickets, and after ascending the throne of King Liang, he once asked all over the country to purchase high-quality crickets and send them to the fiefdom. In order to please King Liang, the officials all intensified their tasks, which once caused a great burden to the people, and the people talked about him.

King Liang had nothing to do all day long, only knew how to drink and fight crickets, and then he was nicknamed "the cricket king" by the people of the Great Zhou.

The emperor was furious when he learned about this, and since then he has stopped paying attention to this incompetent prince who cannot be helped.

"Fortunately, he has a good son, and I have a good grandson!"

"The current King Liang is very good!"

The palace woman's heart sank, and she remembered the incident that the emperor talked about back then.

A teenager with anger in his heart, a teenager who thinks he hides his hatred well, smiles and greets the person he hates.

She still remembered the look in the emperor's eyes when he spoke, with melancholy, disbelief, and anger.

Later, he sent the boy to a distant place and kept an eye on him.

It wasn't until he was sure that the man was an unlearned waste that he reassured.

King Liang is a waste wood prince, and the emperor may be angry. But if he is a very clever person, the emperor will only be jealous.

If King Liang is only eight buckets high, what awaits him will definitely not be the throne of the crown prince, but death!

The emperor was too familiar with such eyes, because he also had them back then.

"Huh!"

There was a sudden strange sound in the peach forest.

Raise your eyes.

I don't know when there was an extra man in black in the peach forest.

The woman in the palace costume was expressionless, but deep down she set off a shocking wave.

Come and go without a trace, what a clever light work!

If he wants to kill me, I'm afraid I'm already a corpse!

This martial art is put in the rivers and lakes, no matter how bad it is, it is also the level of the head of the gate faction.

This is the hidden power of the emperor?

The man in black knelt on one knee, and he said coldly: "King Liang and the Immortal Sword have come to Bai Yujing, and they are waiting outside the Peach Blossom Forest now!"

"Your Majesty...... What do we need to do?" his person is like his own temperament, and his whole person is like cold ice that exudes cold air.

"A sword of immortality is unparalleled in the world. ”

"When I first entered the rivers and lakes, the hundred sects were shocked, and all the heroes were convinced!" the old man raised his head, his face was a little complicated, and he chuckled: "There has been no such talent in Da Zhou for a long time, I have been looking forward to seeing him, and today I finally have a chance!"

The old man stood up, his figure straight, and his rickety back was much straighter.

"He is the most outstanding young man in the past ten years, and I used to be the most outstanding young man in Da Zhou!"

"Although I am old, although my waist is bent, I am not convinced! Although my heart is covered with dust, my eyes are still bright!"

"I couldn't live back then, even if I'm old now, I can't lose the scene!"

"Let him in......"

He had a faint smile on his face, but also a hint of exhaustion.

When he got up, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the arrogance between his eyebrows was very eye-catching.

Look up.

The clouds on the horizon are unpredictable.

"It's a pity......"

The old man sighed with a long sigh of remembrance: "The wind is up......"
