Chapter 1: The Long Night (I)
Outside the cave, there were nearly 1,000 members of the Witch Sect, and Tang Yan led the leaders of the sect to stand murderously less than 100 meters away from the entrance of the cave.
It was not easy for him to be shot in the chest, if he didn't see Xiang Yi and Ji Cheng disappear with his own eyes, he would be like a fish in his throat and couldn't sleep.
But Xiang Yi refused to let him go, and stood at the entrance of the cave with a golden sword, laughing wantonly at the black pressure of the boundless witch cult members: "Tang Yan, I am about to enter the cave, are you disappointed that I failed to do what you wanted?"
Tang Yan's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Xiang Yi, if you don't respect Wu Ancestor and act against the sky, you will be punished by heaven!"
"Kill him!"
"Ungrateful Dog Emperor!"
The cultists outside the cave shouted in unison, their anger overflowing, and in the darkness they seemed to be surrounded by bloodthirsty wolves.
Concubine Yu, who was accustomed to seeing thousands of people prostrate and bow down, couldn't help but turn pale and shouted, "No, it's not like this! You must not be deceived by Tang Yan's fallacies......
It's a pity that she shouted through her throat, and in the roar of the crowd, like a little firefly, she instantly disappeared.
Xiang Yi tilted his head and looked at Ji Chengche and said, "Boy, see it, this is the so-called believer." In the future, when you are in charge of the government, you must not be soft-hearted, and remember to eliminate evil in such a serious trouble. ”
Ji Chengche replied lightly: "I'm not the emperor again, why do you have that idleness." ”
"Since you enjoy the honor of the prince, how can you leave everything to you?" Xiang Yi said hesitantly: "Let's go, let's go into the cave." It's too noisy here, find a quiet place, I have something to say to you and the concubine. ”
Concubine Yu's eyes were crumbling with tears, thinking that Xiang Yi was about to explain her last words and arrange the aftermath, she couldn't help choking and said, "Your Majesty, let Concubine Er go with you!"
Xiang Yi didn't answer, took Concubine Yu'er's hand and strode towards the cave, and roared loudly: "Tang Yan, if you like it, just stay outside this cave for a lifetime!"
At that moment, the three of them ignored the tsunami-like angry curses from the mountains outside the cave, and they were not worried that Tang Yan would bring people to rush in, and went straight to the cave.
A wave of fiery heat came over the surface, and the three of them were in it as if they were in a steamer.
Ji Chengche and Xiang Yi have peerless magical powers, and they can adapt to it with a little adjustment, but Concubine Yu is much worse, and after a while, she is drenched in sweat and her jade face is red.
The three of them walked for about half a pillar of incense, and they couldn't hear the noise outside the cave, Xiang Yi stood firm, and suddenly pulled off half of his sleeve without saying a word, pierced the index finger of his right hand, and wrote a blood edict in an instant and threw it to Ji Chengche and said: "Put it away!"
Ji Chengche looked down at the content of the blood edict, but it was only sixteen words: "Xiang Lin succeeded to the throne, and Cheng Cheng supervised the country; ”
Without waiting for Ji Chengche to finish reading, Xiang Yi said indifferently: "If they can't do it, you can take it yourself." Ji Tianquan's old dog will also be happy to see it. ”
Ji Chengche shook his head and said, "What does your Xiang family's country matter to me? Whether you or Xiang Lin, you want to put me to death, why should I clean up the mess for you?"
Xiang Yimu said: "Okay, how about adding one more 'Lin Yu is abolished, and the country returns to the Ji family'?"
Ji Chengche said with a cold face: "Not well." ”
Xiang Yi sighed and said, "If Ji Tianquan knew that you were like this...... Stupid, I'm afraid I'm going to scold you stupid to the blood. ”
Ji Chengche said disapprerovitously: "No matter what you say, I'm not interested in your family's." ”
"My family's!" Xiang Yi's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "You think this is just my family matter, do you think I will inexplicably hand over half of the hard work to a stupid person with a foreign surname?"
Ji Chengche sacrificed his life to save him, but in exchange for Xiang Yi's scolding on his head and face, he couldn't help but feel angry, turned around and walked: "I still have something to do, I don't have the heart to listen to you grinding your teeth." ”
"You're my son and Lingxi!"
Suddenly, the sound exploded like thunder in the cave.
Ji Chengqing's body shook and stopped, and said coldly: "Nonsense!"
"It's true—" Concubine Yu burst into tears, almost soft to Xiang Yi's side.
"There are very few people who know about this matter, and I tell you today, lest your boy be muddled and kept in the dark for the rest of your life. Xiang Yi gently hugged Concubine Yu, and his voice was judo.
"Do you remember the battle in the hunting ground that day? I used my qi and blood to form a fist, but you easily defused it. ”
Ji Chengqing looked back and glared at Xiang Yi without making a sound.
"I didn't intend to show mercy at the time, and there was only one reason for this. Afterwards, I deliberately checked your birth date and extrapolated forward...... It's the day the spirit rhino and I meet!"
Xiang Yi stared at Ji Chengqing, and said slowly: "Sixteen years ago, she took the risk to ask me to enter the palace, presumably intentionally for me to take you away. As a result, the leakage attracted Ji Tianquan, and you already know what happened next, so you don't have to bother talking about it. ”
Ji Cheng's heart turned over and he couldn't control himself, and said loudly: "Impossible!"
But he already believed a little, with Xiang Yi's identity and temperament, it was impossible to fabricate his life experience out of nothing, and all kinds of inexplicable doubts in the past came up one by one at this moment.
Sure enough, Xiang Yi sneered and said, "Do you think that I rarely have one more son?"
Ji Chengche sneered at each other: "Do you think that I rarely have such a Lao Tzu as you!"
"Clear, can you say a few words! Your Majesty has been, this is already the case, what are you still angry with him......
Having said this, sadness came from it, and I couldn't help but hide my face and weep.
Ji Chengqing heard that Concubine Yu was sad, so she gritted her teeth and closed her mouth.
Xiang Yi looked down at Concubine Yu, shook his head and said, "You are also about to become the queen mother, and you still love to cry so much." ”
Concubine Yu'er cried even more in her "wow" voice, and cried sadly: "Your Majesty, I am the one who hurt you, and I am to blame!" As she spoke, she suddenly pulled out the dagger she had collected and turned her wrist into her heart without warning!
Xiang Yi's eyes were quick, and his palms were like knives and cut down. Concubine Yu'er's wrist hurt, and her five fingers were floppy and the dagger clanged to the ground.
She was stunned and looked at Xiang Yi with teary eyes.
Xiang Yi pulled her into his arms and said: "Today's disaster is caused by my negligence, why are you wrong? I have always thought that I had time to strategize, and I never thought that I would not be able to take care of you in the future, can you blame me? You can't die and don't deserve to die, there are still many things you need to do after I leave." ”
The silver flame on his body had begun to dim, and it was only by exhausting his true essence that he could maintain his life.
"Xiang Lin's life and death are uncertain, and Xiang Yu is in the palace for the time being, so he doesn't have to worry about safety. The eunuch guards in the palace have been cleaned up, and Tang Yan can't reach into it no matter how powerful he is. However, it is difficult to say the minister of civil and military affairs in the DPRK. ”
Xiang Yi calmly analyzed: "If I were Tang Yan, I would most likely immediately support the emperor and master the army of the Beijing Division to approach the imperial city. As long as Xiang Ran's ass sits on the dragon chair, his conspiracy will be completed. At that time, even if Xiang Lin rushed back, the dust would already be settled. ”
When Concubine Yu heard him say that he was dangerous, she couldn't help but tremble: "How can that be good, is Yu'er very dangerous?"
Xiang Yi snorted in his nose and said: "There are no eggs under the nest! If the Xiang clan is not cut down and eradicated, how can Tang Yan change the dynasty and usurp the throne in peace?"
"Those princes and ministers who keep saying that they are loyal to the country on weekdays, I am afraid that few dare to squeak. If you can keep the glory and wealth, won't you be satisfied with the blessing of your ancestors?!"
Concubine Yu'er's face turned pale and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the situation will not collapse to this point." Others dare not vouch, such as King Fan Wen, King Qi Wu, and General Geng...... They will fight to the death to protect my great Chu country!"
"Do you think that old slippery head Fan Jian is a loyal minister? I'm afraid not! Qi Longxiang ...... Not really. Xiang Yi said disapprerovingly: "But if Tang Yan wants to steal the country, it is not so easy." ”
Ji Chengche looked at Xiang Yi and sneered: "Tang Yan is eyeing the tiger outside the cave, and His Majesty the Emperor is pointing out the country in the cave, is it good to be the emperor behind closed doors?"
"What do you kid know? Under the golden soup fire pool, there is a dark river that leads directly to the outside of Ling Mountain, Tang Yan never dreamed of it!"
Ji Chengche was shocked and said, "There is a secret passage in the cave?"
"Yes, this secret passage of the dark river was told to me by your mother back then. I haven't walked it myself, but it's definitely there!"
After that, he turned his head and walked to the depths of the cave and said, "After leaving the dark river, you can return to the holy capital." It's best to be able to get ahead of Tang Yan, if not, at least you have to protect the imperial city. I'll give you a list later, and if you can get in touch with them, you'll have a fight. ”
Concubine Yu took two steps, but saw that Ji Chengche was still in place, and couldn't help but be anxious and surprised: "Chengche, are you still angry? It's all my fault, when I return to the palace and arrange everything, it's up to you if Aunt Yu wants to fight or kill!"
Xiang Yi said angrily: "You don't have to beg him!"
Ji Chengche looked at Xiang Yi and said, "After you die, I will take away a drop of heart-sharp blood." ”
Xiang Yi was stunned for a moment, then faintly guessed Ji Chengche's intentions, and sneered: "Do you care very much?"
"If you won't...... That's it. They are my mother and father!"
Xiang Yi nodded and didn't say anything more, and walked away.
Concubine Yu and Ji Chengche followed him to the cave one after the other, their own thoughts complicated and fell into silence.
After walking out for a while, Concubine Yu was surprised to find that although the red clouds around her were billowing and misty, she did not feel the slightest discomfort. She looked closely, and saw a layer of transparent white silver floating in the red cave, which was as transparent as a thin veil, quietly rippling in the hot wind, but it was Xiang Yi who quietly set up a protective barrier for her.
Thinking that the man in front of him who sheltered him from the wind and rain would not last long, Concubine Yu'er's heart was like a knife, and she tried her best not to cry again, but she felt that with his departure, the whole world would collapse.
Once she confirmed that Xiang Yu's safety was no longer a threat, she would find a relief to accompany him.
Suddenly, a warm hand held her and shook it vigorously, it was Ji Chengqing.
Concubine Yu stared at it, and saw Ji Chengche and said softly: "Aunt Yu, don't be afraid, I will protect Sister Yu with you, she will definitely be fine!"
Concubine Yu'er's slender eyelashes trembled, and her teary eyes firmly grasped the young and powerful hand.
It's out, the third watch today, and I'll work again tomorrow.
