255 New Beginnings
Temperament is a thing that has always been the opinion of the benevolent and the wise.
The head of internal affairs, Sequoia, recognized Bai Mujun's analysis, and realized that over the years, the Holy Emperor didn't seem to have any special interest in those beautiful women that he was particularly optimistic about. But the problem is that when I think of the word "temperament", the head of internal affairs is one head and two big.
He couldn't help but look at his sister Hongyu in front of him, how he hated it, sometimes he even wanted to slap her little girl to death, in the eyes of others, it was also "temperamental". Another example is the one I have always liked, and the other party has always been cold to Shi Jian, the commander of the forbidden army in the outer city, who seems to him to be very temperamental, but others like to call her "tigress".
Sequoia is a very intelligent cultivator, and as the recognized next patriarch of the Kestrel clan, Sequoia has a good ability to analyze problems. He soon discovered the key problem: the so-called temperament, if you like it, it is called temperament, and if you don't like it, it is called hateful! If the selected woman thinks she has temperament, but the Holy Emperor is very disgusted, it is even more troublesome!
It doesn't matter if the Holy Emperor doesn't like it, as long as he doesn't hate it, it's enough. Don't ask for merit, but ask for no fault - this is the word of the sword.
After all, in addition to treating the human race and the dragon race, the Holy Emperor has always been lenient. Even if there is no woman he likes, he will not offend himself.
After making up his mind, Sequoia's mood returned to normal, and he sent his sister Hongyu away with a smile and continued to check his official documents.
Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the huge Tianfeng Dynasty, and the affairs of the imperial capital will naturally not be less. Therefore, Sequoia is always busy, and she is too busy to have time to chat with the woman she likes.
Of course, the woman didn't like to talk to Sequoia either. The sword, which is nicknamed the "tigress", is a big idler. Tianfeng has been founded for more than 300 years, but in the first few years, there will be some people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and Emperor Longlai will be blamed, since Tianqiong Xian and Man Wu were imprisoned, Long Yue was deposed, and after entering the cold palace, the whole world has been peaceful.
For more than 200 years, not even a small thief has been seen in the outer city of the imperial capital. As the commander of the forbidden army in the outer city responsible for the security of the outer city of the imperial capital, it is always very idle to have a sword.
However, leisure is leisure, and you always have to be responsible for your own duties. In case something happens, it's yourself who is unlucky. During the five-year draft, there will be many out-of-town creatures entering the imperial capital, and if someone takes advantage of the chaos to commit crimes, it will also be troublesome. At this time, it is still necessary to take precautions.
The sword was lightly dressed, but he took a Terran attendant with him, and walked between the various draft spots, inspecting the security situation everywhere.
Came to the east of the city slowly, and the habit of many years of cultivation made the sharp-eyed sword clear, and at a glance I saw the handsome man walking leisurely in the crowd.
The sword slashed, and there was a pause at his feet.
The man saw the sword too, and just smiled at it.
The sword nodded in acknowledgement, and then, as if he didn't know him, passed by with his attendants. Seeing that the meal was served, the sword went directly into the nearby Yuexin Building.
came to the top floor and saw Bai Mujun.
The sword was stunned for a moment, walked over, bowed and said, "What a coincidence, Commander Bai is also here." β
Bai Mujun smiled slightly and said, "How is the defense? β
The sword was struck and he sat down opposite Bai Mujun, remembering the man just now, he smiled and said, "Even if there is something wrong, with the Holy Emperor and his old man personally inspecting, it will not be a big problem." Speaking of this, the sword suddenly looked solemn, and the voice said, "Commander Bai, I heard that the Holy Emperor intends to ban the army from the Ten Pure Lands, do you know whether it is true or false?"
Bai Mujun frowned slightly, and said, "I just sent someone to explore the Ten Directions Pure Land, and now the news has not been returned, and the details are not clear." Moreover, it is rumored that the Pure Land of the Ten Directions has no spiritual power, which is not much better than the Nine Desolate Lands. The Holy Emperor probably wasn't interested in the Forbidden Army Pure Land, he just wanted to learn about those places. β
The sword grinned, "In my opinion, the Holy Emperor is too boring, so he ......" Realizing that what he was about to say might not be appropriate, the sword quickly stopped.
Bai Mujun smiled, "Nothing to do......?"
......
As the overlord of the world, sometimes it's really boring.
Cultivation has reached its peak, and there is no need to cultivate, but there is still a long life left.
Feng Tianyang is indeed bored.
Sometimes, he really wanted to walk around, even if it wasn't necessarily that interesting, but it was better than being hidden within the walls of this deep palace all day.
But he never dared to go far, at most he only wandered around the imperial capital.
After all, this huge world has not been able to leave its emperor for a day.
Feng Tianyang likes to move around in the imperial capital, but he doesn't like the courtiers who know him to salute him in public. He likes to walk "freely" like an ordinary person like now, there are too many times when the stars are arching the moon, and he will also want to enjoy the ease of being ignored like the stars.
Tasting a sip of coarse tea at the open-air tea stall, feeling the bitterness in the tea, and then looking at the women who were waiting in a long line, hoping to be selected by themselves and lucky, Feng Tianyang's face showed a touch of helplessness and boredom.
Feng Tianyang was not a womanizer, and even after deposing Long Yue, the harem was vacant for many years. However, the important minister of his country, Yu Bing, who was canonized by him as the governor of the heavens, said something ridiculous.
The Biography of the Holy Emperor records:
One day, the Governor of the Metropolitan admonished the Holy Emperor and said: "If the king is not lustful, the kingdom will perish." β
The emperor laughed and asked, "If you are lustful and don't go to court, can the country not die?"
"Lustful but not courteous, dying in a coma, not a fault. β
"No desire, no desire, no faintness, how?"
Yu Bing talked eloquently, "No desire, no desire, it's for the big picture." Those who have a big picture will hide great trouble. Who has no desire? The so-called desirelessness is weak temptation. Power, sex, merit, fame, profit, and luck are all tempting. Throughout the ages, those who have good power and kill their ministers and concentrate power will perish in the country; those who have made good achievements and go to war in all directions will perish in the country; those who have a good name and whitewash the peace will perish in the country; those who have a good reputation and plunder the world will perish in the country; and those who seek immortality in the king's good fortune will perish in the country. Looking at it, only lust is very little. β
......
With a high-sounding statement, Feng Tianyang couldn't find a way to refute it for a while, and even felt that Yu Bing's words were very reasonable. Therefore, Yu Bing's five-year draft was decided.
I don't know if it's because of the women who slept too much, Feng Tianyang was even a little tired. However, he didn't dare to say this, and he didn't even dare to reveal a trace of boredom with women. He was very worried that once he showed this mentality, those loyal ministers would not send him a few men.
Not far away, the women who dressed themselves up looked so ridiculous and pathetic. A small number of them end up in their beds. Then, they will do everything in their power to satisfy themselves, and they will look so mean and obnoxious.
Feng Tianyang was thinking wildly in his heart, and inadvertently saw a woman outside the long line, wandering back and forth many times. She first stood at the back of the line, waited for a while, and then ran out of the line, hesitated for a long time, and began to line up again. It's a funny thing to do over and over again.
The woman is a human race, she looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, she looks good, she is not ugly, but compared with those women who were chosen by herself, there is still a little gap. Moreover, the figure is not very good, it is too peaceful.
Scold......
Feng Tianyang couldn't help but let out a disdainful laugh.
What kind of woman wants to hit the luck, it's really self-aware.
Although Feng Tianyang is a little aesthetically tired, he is always not interested in the washboard. He specifically advised, "Don't be too peaceful." β
Maybe it was too boring, Feng Tianyang kept holding on to that girl, wondering in his heart whether she would have the courage to finally get to the front, and then after being rejected from the election, would she be very disappointed.
Finally, Feng Tianyang's gaze attracted the girl's attention.
The girl turned around and stared at Feng Tianyang.
Feng Tianyang raised the corners of his mouth disdainfully, didn't bother to pay attention to her, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
The girl gritted her teeth, snorted, and walked briskly.
All the way to Feng Tianyang, the girl had a gloomy face and asked angrily, "What does your disdainful expression mean?"
Feng Tianyang couldn't help but smile and said, "There is only one meaning." β
"Huh?"
"Disdainful. β
"You!" the girl's fist clenched tightly, resisting the urge to let out murderous energy. She knew that killing people in the imperial capital would ruin her plans. Gritting her teeth, the girl angrily asked, "Am I ugly!"
Feng Tianyang looked at the girl and said, "It's not very ugly, it's just too peaceful." β
"You ......" The girl felt that the little white face in front of her was really dying. Although it is very dangerous to kill someone in the imperial capital, for a master, killing an ordinary person quietly in front of everyone is simply a piece of cake.
The girl was already full of anger in her heart, but at this moment, she was provoked by Feng Tianyang, and she was even more angry. Still, she smiled, with a hint of cruelty in her smile.
What kind of person Feng Tianyang is, but that almost untraceable trace of cruelty was directly captured by him.
It's really the most poisonous woman's heart.
Just saying that she is too peaceful, does she have murderous intentions?
If you hide your murderous aura so well, you should be a cultivator. However, why can't he perceive the spiritual power in her body?
Feng Tianyang thought about it in his heart, and said in his mouth, "Today's Holy Emperor, don't you like the woman of Taiping, don't you know?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, rolled her eyes, and sat down. "You know a lot, huh?"
"Heh, who doesn't know about this world? After all, there have been many times about drafting. Feng Tianyang said, "I have to hit you." With your appearance and figure, you will definitely not even be able to pass the audition. β
The cruelty at the corner of the girl's mouth flashed again, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and looked at Feng Tianyang again, with the smile she was used to before she killed, and said, "Ahem...... Seriously, I ...... It's not ugly, is it?" said the girl, thinking about what kind of means to use to kill Feng Tianyang quietly.
Feng Tianyang looked the girl up and down and said, "It's okay." Maybe the Holy Emperor is tired of seeing stunning beauties and will want to try heavy tastes. You might as well hit your luck, in case the audition passes, and what if the Holy Emperor is on a whim?"
Hardcore?!
All right!
Difficult rhetoric, but ......
His words don't seem to be unreasonable.
Don't kill him yet.
It's easy to kill him, but if some master nearby notices, it's troublesome!
If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!
Why be like a brute!
I still have big things to do!
The beast is right, go and try, and you won't lose anything.
What's more, backing down without trying, it's not your own style of acting!
The girl's eyes rolled, and she finally made up her mind!
Whether it works or not, you still have to give it a try.
In case of repeated rejections......
Well, no one knows themselves anyway, and the feeling of shame won't be very serious.
As for He Changfeng and Tianqiongluo......
When the time comes, just tell them that you didn't try a second time at all.
As for this man who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead......
Pray that you will be lucky, and wait for yourself to achieve great things, and then be met by yourself......
Hum!
The girl got up, not wanting to talk another nonsense to a dying man.
Coming back to the end of the line, after a long wait, it was finally Lin Xiaozhou's turn.
Once again, he handed over his nameplate nervously, and Lin Xiaozhou wondered in his heart whether to give this palace official a little benefit, maybe he would be able to pass it.
The palace official glanced at the nameplate, then looked up at Lin Xiaozhou, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, "The best choice." β
The so-called "superior choice", that is, there is no need to participate in many selections again, you can directly pass through the eye of the housekeeper Sequoia, enter the Xiu Palace, and wait for the Holy Emperor to be lucky.
Such a result surprised Lin Xiaozhou.
After she was surprised and puzzled and let the palace officials who were guarding on the side take her away, the palace officials who were responsible for passing through her had a smug smile on their faces, their eyes swept over the crowd, and they secretly glanced at the direction of the tea shop. Feng Tianyang, who was originally sitting there, had left at this moment, leaving only a back.
"Brother Li, this woman ...... On the side, the palace official's companion questioned.
Brother Li patted the shoulder of his colleague on the side and laughed meaningfully.
You Brother Li and I used to have a holy face, and I knew the matter of the current Holy Emperor, so I don't need to mention it to a poor person like you who can only be a small palace official in his life.
"Holy Lord, I'll love it. Brother Li asserted.
He was sure.
Because just now, the picture of Saint Emperor Feng Tianyang and Lin Xiaozhou talking happily was witnessed by him.
......
Feng Tianyang, who was bored wandering on the street, looked at the prosperous world in front of him, but he didn't have any interest.
He originally thought that he would enjoy watching the despondency of the woman who had hidden murderous intentions after being eliminated, but in the end, he didn't wait for that time.
That woman will definitely be eliminated.
What kind of suspense can there be?
It's not fun to see what you've already decided happen.
After walking around the outer city again, seeing that it was getting late, Feng Tianyang directly teleported back to the imperial palace.
Several important ministers were already waiting in the palace, and they wanted to report some major events in the country to Feng Tianyang.
Actually, it's not a big deal.
For example, there are Terran rebels in a certain place, for example, an official in a certain place is corrupt and perverts the law, for example, the patriarch of a certain clan has died, and the new patriarch has come to meet him......
Feng Tianyang felt that this was not a big deal at all, but he was still willing to ask. After all, sometimes, it's the hustle that makes life less boring.
The patriarchs of the major clans always treat each other with courtesy.
They are not human and dragon races, and they have no grudges against the Feng clan. They are just wretched creatures in this world who are struggling. Their flattery and deference are only in the hope that their race will live in peace.
It's not easy to be alive.
Sometimes, it's more tiring than dying.
There is some contradiction in this statement.
Of course, you won't get tired when you die.
It's even easy to die.
Feng Tianyang has a deep understanding of this.
Whether it was before or now, he deeply felt the fatigue of being alive.
Back then, in order to live, why was the safety of the entire Feng clan at risk, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his hue and hook up with Long Yue. Trying to marry the dragon clan and save the Feng clan from danger. However, the Feng Clan was still destroyed.
I thought it was all over.
At the moment of death, there was regret, pain, and more, but it was a relief.
However, things are unpredictable.
I actually came back to life.
Although, strictly speaking, it is not considered alive.
Walking through a long staircase made of ice, Feng Tianyang saw the woman who had once loved him deeply.
Long Yue sat cross-legged on a cold ice bed, opened his eyes, and looked at Feng Tianyang.
The corners of Feng Tianyang's mouth slowly rose, revealing a smile.
Long Yue said, "Are you finally going to kill me?"
Feng Tianyang shook his head, "You saved me in the end, I won't kill you." β
Long Yue suddenly spat at Feng Tianyang.
In front of Feng Tianyang, a spiritual power barrier appeared, blocking Long Yue's saliva.
"Ungrateful dog!" Long Yue cursed angrily.
Feng Tianyang smiled miserably, "What if...... If you hadn't killed Feng Jiu'er back then, maybe, I would really treat you well. β
Long Yue was stunned and looked at Feng Tianyang with his eyebrows.
Feng Tianyang looked up to the sky and sighed, "Feng Jiu'er, it's my fiancΓ©e. Back then, if it weren't for your human and dragon clans to destroy my Feng clan, Jiu'er and I would ......"
Grievances and hatred have always been the theme of this world.
Long Yue was stunned for a long time, and then looked up to the sky and laughed.
The laughter was doubly bleak.
Feng Tianyang didn't say a word, just stood there and looked at Long Yue.
After a long time, Long Yue put away his laughter and said, "You still like me, right?"
Feng Tianyang didn't answer.
Long Yue's tears rained down.
It's too cold in the cold palace.
Tears turned into ice drops.
It's like a bead with a broken thread.
"How long are you going to lock me up before you can release the hatred in your heart?!" Long Yue asked.
Feng Tianyang still didn't answer, turned around and wanted to leave.
Long Yue shouted to him, "Tianyang!"
Feng Tianyang stood still, but did not turn around.
Long Yue said, "Be careful of Yu Bing!"
Feng Tianyang sighed, "You shouldn't remind me, but you should look forward to my death." β
"Heh, with your cleverness, how can you not know Yu Bing's sinisterness. I warn you, it's just pretending to be kind. Long Yue laughed, tears in his eyes.
Feng Tianyang was silent for a moment and said, "The draft is over, I'm going to do the final selection." β
Draft......
Long Yue laughed even more.
