"The word shelter is a good word. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The emperor said calmly: "With this big array, the capital city will be worry-free, the capital city will be worry-free, even if my Chaoyang national strength declines and falls apart, it will eventually be reborn." ”
Xu Chen said: "The master once told me that if it is really time to activate the Shocking Array, it means that my Chaoyang has reached the most dangerous moment. ”
"That's why this big array has never been activated. ”
The emperor said, "But as long as it continues to exist in the heavens and the earth, whether it moves or does not move, the capital will be safe, and the rising sun will be safe." ”
At that time, His Majesty the Emperor said that he would take him to see something in the future, and today he finally saw it.
Master Lu Yin once took him up to the city tower, looking down on the capital, saying that he would hand over this great array to him, but now that the master has passed away, it is finally his turn to take on this responsibility.
He looked at the capital city in front of him, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.
Master Lu Yin once said that the capital city is a big array, and it is also a big talisman, and the talisman is an article, Xu Chen looked at the capital in front of him, his eyes fell on the straight stone trough to the south, and fell on the relatively red light cluster, silently thinking that this was probably the seal printed next to the article.
The relatively red light cluster was the painting, and as Xu Chen's gaze touched it, the edge of the light cluster was slightly deformed, as if it sensed something.
It was just such an instant that Xu Chen vaguely understood how to activate the big array of the capital city, and the method of activating it was so simple, so he was so vigilant and uneasy.
Leaving the shabby two-story small wooden building, Xu Chen followed the emperor through the imperial garden again, through the awe-inspiring and confused gazes of those eunuchs and palace maids, and came to the imperial study.
There was silence in the study.
Xu Chen held the pestle wrapped in cloth, a heavy feeling came from his fingers, and after a long silence, he said, "I'm a little worried that I won't be able to hold it. ”
The emperor looked at him and said, "Master Lu Yin is just such an apprentice as you, so who are you not going to take it?"
Xu Chen said: "Do I really want to be a national teacher in the future? Back then, the second senior brother told the master that I was just cultivating talismans with the master, and I was not a person from Feiyun Dao. ”
He didn't say anything about the existence of the senior brother, because few people in this world knew about it.
"Who said that my Chaoyang National Master must be a Taoist of Feiyun Dao to be a person? Yes, in order to save some face, I have been dealing with it like this for hundreds of years, but habit does not mean dead rules. What's more, you are Master Lu Yin's apprentice after all, and no one can find fault with your identity. ”
The emperor said, "Listening to your tone, you don't seem to want to be this national teacher?"
Xu Chen said: "I feel that this matter is a little unreliable, and now that I have to be a Chaoyang national teacher, I think this matter is even more unreliable." ”
He said slightly: "Now that I think about it, I would rather do some business on the stall." ”
"Lu Yin is very happy to be a national teacher, seeing his tired appearance, he is reluctant to die for a while, whether you want to take over the position of national teacher or not, after all, it is a matter of the future, and there is no need to worry now. ”
The emperor changed his words and said: "Speaking of selling words, Xu Chen, you have not had a copybook flow out for several days, come and come, take advantage of entering the palace today, and hurry up to write a few more." ”
Xu Chen glanced at His Majesty the Emperor, thinking that every time he entered the palace now, he would not know how distressed he would become.
However, the Son of Heaven personally chose to grind the pen and ink to serve beside him, and in the face of this treatment, no calligrapher in the world must be able to refuse to write.
He sighed helplessly in his heart and walked towards the desk.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the imperial study.
The queen lady walked in slowly with a food plate.
Xu Chen bowed slightly and stepped aside.
"You eat something first. ”
The queen mother smiled and took the emperor's hand and walked to the coffee table, handed him a bowl of yogurt, and then walked to Xu Chen's side, lightly rolled up her sleeves and picked up the ink block, and said, "I'll grind the ink." ”
Xu Chen thought to himself that he was not a heroic and chic person like Li Taibai, although you are plump, you are not a romantic person like Yang Yuhuan, what is this?
The queen smiled gently, looked at him and quipped: "Your Majesty grinds ink for you, you dare, this palace grinds ink for you, but you don't dare, is it that in your eyes, this palace is much more terrible than Your Majesty?"
The emperor, who was drinking yogurt, laughed, pointed at Xu Chen and said, "On weekdays, when I write and post, she is grinding ink on the side, and today I will let you enjoy this treatment." ”
What kind of treatment is this?
Xu Chen smiled slightly, it was inconvenient to make more excuses, stood by the desk and waited calmly, thinking about what the queen said before, and felt a little strange in his heart.
In his opinion, this queen lady is really much more terrible than His Majesty.
In the world shrouded in divine radiance, a generation of Demon Sect Holy Maidens was able to become the queen of Chaoyang, the first powerful country in the world, no matter how you look at it, this matter is strange and terrifying.
What's more, this queen mother is also Ximen Wang's own sister.
Xu Chen looked at the silhouette of the queen mother and was silent.
His Majesty the Emperor wanted to appreciate Xu Chen's new work, so he stayed in the imperial study.
The queen mother and Xu Chen left the imperial study and came to the imperial garden.
Walking under a begonia tree, the queen mother stopped, waved her hand to signal the palace maid to disperse, and then looked back at Xu Chen.
Xu Chen knew that His Majesty the Emperor was looking for an excuse to let himself be alone with the Empress Niang, of course, not for any ridiculous reason, it was only related to the general in Wuxian Town, but he didn't understand, why did the Empress Niang come forward in person, wasn't she worried about being seen by others?
This is because he does not understand the relationship between the emperor and the empress, or rather, he has never believed that there is such a relationship between commoner couples in the imperial palace.
The queen's eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, charming and moderate, gentle but not timid, standing under the begonia tree, her face is actually compared to the color of the begonia.
Xu Chen thought to himself that she really deserved to be the holy daughter of the Demon Sect, and the mother was really beautiful.
The queen looked at him quietly, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty has told you?"
Xu Chen was silent for a moment and then replied, "I don't know what Niangniang is referring to." ”
The queen said calmly: "Ximen looks at the affairs of the general. ”
Xu Chen nodded.
The queen said: "Now you should know the identity of this palace. ”
Xu Chen shook his head, the expression on his face was a little confused.
The queen smiled and said, "What a dishonest child, this palace really can't understand why Lu Yin would accept you as a student." ”
Xu Chen said with a smile: "Many people have this question. ”
The smile on the queen's face gradually faded, looking at him calmly and proudly, without a trace of other emotions, she said: "Ximen Wang is my brother, and I used to be the holy daughter of the Demon Sect. ”
In Wuxian Town, Xu Chen already knew this biggest secret of the Chaoyang Empire through his conversation with Ximen Wang, but he didn't expect that the queen would admit it directly without concealment.
So he was still shocked.
The queen looked at him and said: "This palace is very curious, what is the problem between you and Ximen Wang, although he has a violent temperament, especially on the battlefield to kill people for fun, but he is definitely not an idiot that you and His Majesty like to talk about, he should know very well that killing Lu Yin's students will not do him any good." ”
Xu Chen was silent for a moment and then said, "The day you met the prince, I was also present at that time. ”
The queen gently plucked the begonia branch in front of her face, and walked back to the depths of the imperial garden.
Xu Chen followed behind her, looking at her hand-bearing appearance, and for some reason he had some appreciation.
Walking to the shore of the quiet lake, standing in front of the flower tree, the queen mother was silent for a moment and then said: "He did this thing from me, and I even doubt that I did it in his name. ”
She turned around, looked at Xu Chen quietly and said, "Now that you are also a cultivator, you should know that if it is the main palace or General Ximen Wang, you will attack with all your might. ”
Xu Chen thought of the two strong men beside Ximen Wang, acquiesced to this, and said: "If this matter is done by the Western Jin Dynasty, Niang Niang will not be able to find evidence, because those people are General Ximen Wang's people after all." ”
The queen smiled and said, "I may be helpless. ”
Xu Chen said: "On the wasteland, you want to kill me." ”
He knew that the queen mother in front of him must know who that person was, and he must have known about the bloody case of the horse thief attack, so he didn't need to explain too much.
The queen said: "This palace still doesn't think that the horse thief has anything to do with Ximen Wang. ”
Xu Chen said: "I agree with Niangniang's opinion, I also think that Lin Ling did this thing without General Ximen Wang, but General Ximen Wang acquiesced afterwards and tried to kill me again in Haibei." ”
The queen said: "He will not do anything that is detrimental to Ximenwang's interests, so he will try to kill you unless he knows that only one person between you and Ximenwang can live." ”
Xu Chen was silent for a moment and then shook his head and said, "In the past, I was just an extremely ordinary person, and I had never even seen the face of General Ximenwang, except for these two things, there could be no grudges. ”
The queen looked him quietly in the eyes and asked, "Is there really no grudge?"
Xu Chen said: "That's true. ”
The queen suddenly crouched down at him and saluted.
Xu Chen was shocked inexplicably, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and said, "Niangniang, what are you doing?"
"The reason for the Tsubaki in front of me has been dealt with by Mr. Big, if there is really no unsolvable grudge in addition to this, please Mr. Little give this palace a face, how about he calmly return to old age?"
In front of the flower tree, the queen mother was calm and calm, maintaining a half-squatting posture.
Walking on the street full of tourists, Xu Chen's expression seemed calm, but his heart was gradually rising, whether it was the shocking array that His Majesty the Emperor took him to see, or the queen's salute in front of the flower tree, he was now under some pressure that he couldn't afford.
None of this affected his mood.
What really affected his mood was something else.
Now that the war in the northern wasteland has entered a stalemate, the Chaoyang military seems to be extremely indifferent to victory, and there seems to be some problems inside, and there is an intention to temporarily suspend the army to see the battle again.
This is equivalent to saying that in the autumn, Simon Wang will return.
