Chapter 209: The Emperor's Conspiracy
Chenyang stood in the apse, waiting for the Dong family's mood to gradually calm down before stepping forward to disturb: "Uncle Dong, I have sent someone to prepare a new house on the outskirts of Beijing. Tonight's war is raging, everyone is tired, why don't you let General Zhou send you back to rest first. ”
The old site of Yanjiao Chongcaotang is deserted like that, and it will definitely not be able to go back. Chenyang had the heart to arrange it in the suburbs of Beijing, and Dong's father was grateful. Dong Junqin thanked him coldly and then suddenly thought of Ah Lu, so he turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know where Miss Ah Lu who has been with me is now? I heard that Xiahou Yun and Xiahou Huai brought her into the apse when they forced the palace. ”
The corners of Chenyang's mouth, which he had finally raised, suddenly froze: "Miss Alu, I can't go with you for the time being." ”
Dong Junqin squinted slightly, and the anger around him became a little heavier: "Why, what is the use of Your Majesty keeping her?"
Dong Junqin is not a fool, Alyu can affect the Shengsheng Stone, and the Shengsheng Stone affects Ningxi. Now that all three parties are in Chenyang's hands, he knows what Chenyang will do with his toes, and what he wants to do may be very dangerous for Alyu.
But Chenyang didn't say a word about it, he only said: "Your girl Alu, it's not a secret that she has strange powers. Now that the Xiahou Mansion colluded with the demons has been confirmed, those people outside will say that the Xiahou Mansion will practice evil arts like the Emperor Fu Li. How many people want to ban the law after the rebellion of the family, and I'm afraid it will be the same this time. Even if everyone knows that Miss Alu is your person, I am afraid that her extraordinary strength will attract unnecessary suspicion to the Dong family. Don't get too close to her just yet. ”
Dong Junqin understands that Chenyang has considerations as an emperor. But he was also unwilling to back down easily: "Your Majesty, this is not the first time that the Dong family has been suspected. Now that Xiahou Mansion has been withdrawn, this palace is a mess again, and I think those people outside don't have so much energy to care about us no matter how suspicious they are. Please return the man to me, Your Majesty. ”
Chenyang: "Dong Junqin, after today, I will justify the name of the Dong family with a secret investigation and escort." At this point, you can't think more about your loved ones behind you. That Ah Lu is not related to you, and I can't slow down if I don't let people go?"
The more Chenyang said this, the more Dong Junqin suspected that he would be unfavorable to Ah Lu.
At this time, Song Jiyue also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Ah Jun is a person of great affection, you know. Miss Alu has rescued the Dong family and me several times, and she is really a kind person. This night of scuffle, the battle was tragic, and Ah Jun was understandable to worry about her. Besides, if you want to talk about relatives, I am neither a blood relative of the Dong family, nor have I contributed to the Dong family. ”
Song Jiyue has always spoken softly, but she didn't expect to learn to be aggressive after living in the palace these days.
However, the woman always overcomes the rigidity with softness, seeing that Chenyang was silent, Dong Junqin did not leave, she continued: "Your Majesty, can't you see each other? We just want to confirm her safety." ”
Chenyang couldn't resist Dong Junqin, and Song Jiyue couldn't resist Song Jiyue, he was a little frustrated, and his originally "arrogant" arrogance was suddenly deflated: "She knows the Azure Heart Sound Technique, right?"
Dong Junqin tried the heart sound as soon as he entered the palace, but he didn't succeed at that time, and it was because there was some formation blocking the heart sound technique.
Chenyang said this now, Dong Junqin was suspicious, but he still tried again. After a few calls, he really got a reply from Alu.
When Dong Junqin heard the voice, his expression changed: "Where are you! Are you injured?"
Lu: "No, I don't have anything. How are you? What about them? And your father, have you seen them?"
Dong Junqin: "I'm fine, and my father is fine." Ah Feng and Nangong Lu converged and retreated alone. You ......"
Alu: "That's good, that's good!"
Dong Junqin: "The people of Xiahou Mansion have been defeated, tell me where you are, and I will pick you up and go home." ”
Alu: "Well, that...... Dong Junqin, I have some personal matters to deal with, so I won't leave with you first. ”
What private affairs can a ghost with no memory have?
Dong Junqin: "Have you found the Birth Stone?"
Alu: "Uh, I found it." No, I'm working on it, so you go back first. ”
Dong Junqin glanced at Chenyang, he didn't seem to care about what Dong Junqin and Ah Lu said. This made Dong Junqin even more puzzled: "You study alone?"
Alu: "That's right!"
Dong Junqin: "It's too dangerous to be alone. Where are you?"
Alu: "You believe me once!"
Dong Junqin: "It's not a question of believing or not believing, the ...... of the stone is created"
Ah Lu: "Dong Junqin! I'm so good that I'm still eternal, can a mere stone still crush me to death? That your daddy ......."
In order to persuade Dong Junqin, Ah Lu pulled a bunch of what he didn't. Although Dong Junqin could communicate with her, he couldn't find her breath after all, and couldn't track her location. Ah Lu is not also a person who is so easy to back down, Dong Junqin has no choice but to agree.
Song Jiyue saw that his face turned from joy to sorrow and then to yin, and her heart was in a panic.
After being silent for a while, Dong Junqin said in a low voice: "Let's go." ”
Dong Junqin did not say goodbye to Chenyang, and Chenyang did not speak. The two people who just made things clear obviously couldn't agree with each other, and they were just embarrassed in their relationship, but now they are afraid that there is an estrangement.
On the way out of the palace, Dong Junqin finally understood why Uncle Zhang always said that digging into the root cause sometimes harms others and himself.
In the underground palace, Ah Lu finally persuaded Dong Junqin away. Gao Ting, who was beside her, saw that she was no longer talking, and confirmed: "They're gone." ”
Alu: "I guess I'm leaving." Oh, yes, tonight. ”
Gao Ting didn't expect that this Ah Lu was not a person who was very arrogant and prevaricated. From the time he brought people into the dungeon, he could be asked why. If his explanation doesn't convince Aru, she draws her sword and leaves.
It was completely necessary for Chenyang to separate her from Dong Junqin's side.
Gao Ting: "Tonight...... As you might expect, tonight is indeed our game for Ningxibu. Ning Xi has been active in the Central Plains for many years, and how many people he has influenced, I am afraid that even he himself can't count. If we want to eradicate him, we must naturally eradicate him completely, but we can't kill him, and we can't arrest all the people and investigate them one by one. Even if it could, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be omissions, and it was easy to be counterattacked by Ningxi. ”
Ah Lu: "So you set up this game, forcing Ningxi to take back the demonic energy he dispersed?"
Gao Ting nodded: "This is the fastest and most thorough way." ”
When Ah Lu Fang and Gao Ting came all the way, they saw that many people were shot by Scarlet Flame because they were temporarily out of control by Ningxi. One Ningxi has killed many people, and now in order to eradicate one Ningxi, they have killed many more.
Ah Lu snorted coldly: "No wonder Dong Junqin said that in the matter of disregarding human life, no one is kinder than the other." ”
Gao Tingyuan prepared a rhetoric to talk about their last resort and hardship. But as soon as Ah Lu's clear words came out, Gao Ting didn't think there was any need to defend himself.
Ah Lu understands that Chenyang cannot persuade them individually, persuade them to understand, and persuade them to be ready to sacrifice themselves at any time. In the final analysis, there is no one in the Six Realms who is not afraid of death, not afraid of coming to the end, and not afraid of suffering. Even if it's Dong Junqin, you have to tell him: Come and help me get rid of the demon! Your family will also be implicated. It is estimated that he will only think about running first.
Anyway, now that the bureau is also laid out, and the people are dead, no one has the ability to be the king of the wild, and Ah Lu feels that there is no need to dwell on it anymore.
So, "Okay, so what do you want me to do for you?"
Gao Ting looked at the light in the depths of the underground palace, and he pointed to the stone suspended in the center of the light: "You are a part of this life-making stone spirit, you can control the life-making stone, and the life-making stone can control Ningxi." So we'd like to ask you to find a way to get rid of Ningxi. ”
Ah Lu is the creation of the stone spirit she has just accepted, this Gao Ting is good, directly let her find a way to get rid of Ning Xi.
Alas, no: "How do you know that I am a stone spirit? I am not a stone spirit! I am only a part of it at best." ”
Gao Ting was silent.
Ah Lu felt that he was a little strange, and then thought of another point: "Wait, why do you know all the things we investigated all the way?"
From what she and Dong Junqin did in Lulin, to going to Wushan, and even Dongli, he knew everything.
Alu: "You...... What did you put on us?"
At this time, the footsteps of two people came from the entrance of the dungeon. As Ah Lu turned around, he also noticed a familiar aura.
She unconsciously opened her mouth to the dim underground corridor, her chest rising and falling, as if she would press her heart to her throat at any moment.
As the footsteps approached, a man appeared at the very edge of the candlelight.
Ah Lu had seen him once, and that day she had seen him in Song Jiyue's flesh. But that familiar aura wasn't him.
Ah Lu looked behind Chenyang, but no one else appeared behind him.
No wonder, no wonder Gao Tingfang was able to tell so many things that she and Dong Junqin started from Lulin, and even some details were clear, but he was very vague about Lulin's previous things, and he only knew a rough idea.
Aluka was shocked and shocked, but she quickly recognized it.
If Chenyang, no, has been planning these things since Emperor Xuanning, then Dong Junqin and himself, as their most important chess pieces, must have an eyeliner by their side.
When I first met Nanqin, her identity was a member of the Demon Eradication Society of Dongli Wenxu Palace, she was originally a person who was going to wander around, and she had the backdrop of Nangong Law, it was difficult for them to suspect her and suspect her true intention.
After Nanqin is the Scarlet Flame Demon Clan again, Scarlet Flame and Ningxi have a grudge, and she naturally wants to get rid of Ningxi.
Thinking about it, the name Ningxi was the first to be said by Nanqin. Heaven and earth have been tens of thousands of years, and there have been so many powerful characters, how could she, a demon who has only lived for a few hundred years, so accurately judge that they are investigating Ningxi?
Most likely, she knew it in the first place. She came prepared and guided directly.
Although these are Ah Lu's own speculations, Nanqin's aura has already filled the underground palace, but she has not shown up for a long time, even if Nanqin knows that Ah Lu can feel her, she has not appeared. Presumably, there are ghosts in my heart who dare not see each other.
Ah Lu sighed and shifted his gaze back to Chenyang.
Chenyang came to the underground palace with a sword. Although it looked like an ordinary sword, Ah Lu felt that there was a remnant spirit in the sword.
Alu: "This sword...... It's not going to seal Ningxi, right?"
Chenyang looked back and smiled: "The girl that Ah Jun likes is indeed smart. ”
Chenyang walked over and handed her the sword. The moment Ah Lu took over, the long sword went berserk. The sudden movement startled Ah Lu, and she subconsciously turned the leftovers against the scabbard. There were a few whimperes from the long sword, and then it stopped moving.
Chenyang seemed to be sure of something, he took back his sword, and Yuguang saw Gao Ting nodding to him.
Chenyang: "Miss Alu, I think you know who Ningxi is." If we can't eradicate him this time, and when he makes a comeback in the future, the situation is not optimistic. ”
Ah Lu also knew that Ningxi was guilty. But she was more curious about Chenyang's motives: "That...... Your Majesty, you haven't thought about it...... complied with Ningxi's wishes. Anyway, with him and Xiahou Mansion to take care of everything for you, you can be a puppet emperor, you don't have to think about anything, isn't it good?
And Ningxi's last container is your child, and in the future, he will succeed to the throne in the Central Plains, and it will still be the world of the Xi family. He can even help you annex your neighbors and expand your territory...... You haven't thought about the benefits?"
Chenyang nodded: "I thought about it." But then I saw that my father, the Emperor, was tormented by him to delirium because he was afraid of the Emperor's gravel and the fear of Ningxi, who controlled the Emperor's gravel. Obviously, there are so many criminal laws that force the Dong family to admit their guilt, but he cuts finger by finger. It's madness.
Ning Xi is like this, he manipulated Huangfu Gravel at the beginning, infinitely magnified his resentment and unwillingness, coupled with the intentional or unintentional promotion of people from all walks of life, and finally forced him into a mad demon and caused a tragedy.
To be honest, I don't care who will be the emperor, his surname is Li and his surname is Zhang. But since he is emperor, he has a responsibility to reduce the occurrence of tragedies, especially such tragedies that affect generations.
I know that there is a saying in the rivers and lakes that says that there is no right or wrong in power, but there is good and evil in the human heart. Actually, I don't agree with this sentence. Because it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. The only thing I agree with is that everything in the world needs to be in harmony and balance if it wants to last forever, or it can be mutually reinforcing.
And Ningxi, he is like water. The essence of water is not wrong, it is even something that we are indispensable. But his power is to control this heaven and earth, and control every living creature in heaven and earth. In front of the flood beasts, we can only cry, we can only flee, we can only watch our loved ones being swallowed by water, and there is nothing else we can do. ”
Ah Lu: "But the flood can predict, don't you just keep an eye on Ning Xi to prevent him from doing evil, do you really want him to be wiped out so much?"
Chenyang shook his head: "We can't keep an eye on him, we can't predict him, and we can't destroy him." If it could, how could Huangfu Li, and the celebrities of all walks of life at that time, not be aware of it? Ning Xi's power is too strong, and the key is that he still has his own Yuan Spirit Consciousness. This is more terrible than the flood. This means that no one in the mortal realm can compete with it. ”
Alyu: "So when you knew what I might be, you were determined to tie me up here?"
Chenyang didn't answer her question, but walked towards the Creation Stone and said, "If there really is a god in this world, I would like to believe it, Miss Alu, you are that god, and this Creation Stone Spirit is a god." So, I beg you to help us put an end to this bloody tragedy once and for all. ”
Chenyang's eyes were wet and red, and Ah Lu was shocked.
She took a deep breath: "Then why don't you let me ask Dong Junqin for help?"
Chenyang: "Ah Jun won't help you." He's the kind of guy who would rather tire himself out than sacrifice someone else. ”
Allu snorted coldly: "You also know that what you want me to do may cost me my life?"
Hearing this, Chenyang suddenly laughed: "Miss Alu, I believe that the undead live forever. ”
Ah Lu was stunned, but he didn't expect Nanqin to tell him this joke. That's it, in fact, from the moment she accepted that she was the remnant soul of the eternal stone creation stone spirit, she was full of curiosity about the creation stone and the stone life.
What happened to separate her from Shi Shengling in the first place?
Figuring out these things was actually Allu's original wish. Now the last step of her wish is under her feet, and she will not fail to walk.
Lu: "Are you sure your palace barrier is hard enough?"
Chenyang nodded.
Alu took a deep breath and slowly walked over to the Stone. She tried to close her eyes and let her soul float in her chest, and then she lay on her feet.
Ah Lu's soul entered the life stone, and Nanqin slowly appeared.
She walked up to Chenyang and Gao Ting, and said in a low voice: "Ningxi's strength is too great, and the flood beast needs to be eliminated, so what about Alu?"
Chenyang handed the sword to Nanqin: "Where are your people?"
Nanqin: "Someone sent it back." Don't shy away from ......"
Chenyang interrupted Nanqin: "This is your master's sword, which temporarily seals Ningxi, and it can be regarded as making the best use of everything." Nanqin, in fact, she knows it's you, why do you want to hide? I remember when you were your father's guard, you didn't blink an eye. ”
Nanqin: "Your Majesty misunderstood, Nanqin is not a cold-blooded person. I don't blink just because of the command. Now I don't want to watch her die. ”
Chenyang saw that the breath around the body of the Shengsheng Stone turned from red to yellow, and said quietly: "If she can still live after destroying Ningxi, I will definitely release her." ”
Nanqin: "Hmph, if she has three longs and two shorts, aren't you afraid that Dong Junqin will kill you?"
Nanqin's words were a big joke, which made Chenyang laugh more than once: "Then why don't you stop me?"
Nanqin was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Despicable!"
Chenyang wiped the wetness from the corners of his eyes: "He won't kill me." He knew that if he killed me, the situation would be in chaos at that time, and the entire Central Plains would be in chaos. As soon as the Central Plains is in chaos, the neighboring countries will take advantage of the chaos to launch wars. Fighting a war is a thousand times more terrible than Ningxi. ”
Nanqin snorted coldly: "That's why you didn't let him come? ”
Chenyang stared at the Shengsheng Stone and stopped talking.
It's strange that since Fang Cai and Dong Junqin had talked so much with Ah Lu in the apse, he didn't seem to want to explain anything to anyone anymore.
To be an emperor is to protect the peace of the country and the people, and to seek the balance of yin and yang, it is never for a certain person or a certain thing. Even if he was going to hell after death, he couldn't hold back because he didn't want to be sorry for someone.
That's why he said at that time that he didn't want to be the crown prince, let alone the emperor.
