In the early morning, the white soup was rich and had a light aroma, and Xia Xiao bathed and washed himself like many finalists.

Under the candlelight, Xia Xiao came out of it, dragging water from his feet, bringing a few water sounds. When you wash away the dirt, you don't want to be stained with blood, but your heart is still heavy, and you want to kill your enemies. Zhu Heng's nose, eyes, and face, Xia Xiao clearly remembered it in his mind, just waiting to tear it apart and dump it.

Seeing that the palace maid outside the screen wanted to enter, Xia Xiao said lightly:

"I'll do it myself. ”

"Yes. ”

The delicate sound is like the flirtatious petals on the soup, and it has never caused the slightest ripple.

When he came, his clothes were bright and bright, with an off-white moire body, and a large waistband, although he was also handsome, but he was not as loose and comfortable as this dark robe at this time. It's just that the color is a little more melancholy, and it's uncrowned, like some kind of special ritual.

Wipe his body with a towel, and Xia Xiao put it on. Black is the sacrificial color of Bactria and represents the end of life and the reverence for death. This kind of thing, no matter how you explain it, all colors are proof of life, and after death, it is like the whole coffin, white and gray, like old bones.

Fastening his belt, Xia Xiao stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself. The light was dim, but he still looked like this, a little thin, and when he bit his teeth, the muscles on the side of his face were particularly obvious.

Walking out of the screen, Xia Xiao pushed open the door.

It was the hour of the day, before dawn, Xia Xiao dragged his robe, and the two palace maids behind him followed, like the emperor who was still in the people.

There was a squeak from the next room, and Shu Shuang walked out one after another.

Although there was no light around, Xia Xiao still smiled and walked out of this exquisite courtyard under the leadership of the palace maid.

Along the way, more and more contestants get together, they are young and promising, whether they pass the final selection or not, they will become the focus of cultivation in Daxia. From the moment they put on this dress, they are destined to soar!

Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang walked in the middle and rear of the two columns, followed the lantern in front of them through the corridor of the palace, and stepped on the flybridge corridor, like a black ghost under the darkness of the sky.

The darkness before dawn was the most long and frightening, but in the end, after walking through the eaves, under the arrangement of the officials and ministers, Xia Xiao and his party walked into the hall on the side of the Temple of Heaven. The hall was wide, and Xia Xiao and the others stood behind the generals of the ministers.

The candles in the hall were bright, and although it was quiet, there were still ministers whispering, and they gathered their eyes towards Xia Xiao. He also swept through the crowd, but he didn't look at them, just looked for Huiyue.

"There. ”

When Xia Xiao said, Shu Shuang secretly admired the good eyes, and then cast his gaze. There seemed to be no place for her to stand here, so she was worried. But under that lamp, the moon stood still. She didn't expect to be able to stand here, so she was a little timid, but the man with stubble next to her said that it was good to stand by his side.

Early this morning, someone washed her clothes and bathed, and covered her bruises with light powder. This kind of treatment is not seen much.

The man next to Huiyue is not smiling, he is as serious as a steel whip, it is the minister Su Zhongmou, and he is also Su Huan's father!

Seeing it, Xia Xiao nodded with a smile and greeted him. Su Zhongmou nodded slightly appreciatively, feeling comforted. He never asks for power with others, but the Xia family is so loyal, he naturally wants to help. After two years, Xia Xiao finally lived up to expectations, and if General Xia saw it, he would also smile and be proud for a while.

The waiting time was always longer than the time the ceremony was carried out, and soon, at dawn, there was a loud announcement from the Taichang Temple.

"The peace of mind is over, please the Holy One. ”

The ministers knelt down in unison, not daring to look at random. The saint, who had already changed into a stone blue sacrificial robe, was full of energy, and came to the temple silently.

Standing in front of the dragon chair, Yi Yi glanced at the hundreds of courtiers, his heart was heavy, but he was excited. What the emperor is worried about, apart from the Jiangshan Sheji, the evaluation of himself by future generations is that this traitorous minister is a villain who is bad for his own dynasty.

Under the candle flame, he glanced at Xia Xiao, and he had to guide him in the future performance.

I've brought all your maids here, and you should fight for your breath!

"Daxia is a time of national crisis, everything is simple, let's get up. ”

"Thank you—"

Baichen got up, and Ji Yi sat down. This dragon chair is always cold as ice, and it is not comfortable to sit at all, but it is wide.

For ancestor worship, Xia Xiao's understanding is still on kneeling and worshipping incense, but how can the sacrifice of a country be so simple?

This great wilderness world is magnificent and magnificent, although he likes it, but the etiquette is too redundant, even if everything is simple at this time, it still makes him a little irritable. But helplessly, Xia Xiao could only follow behind, behaving tepidly, and doing everything to the best.

The temple begins with the word of God, not the end. After that, the ministers went out of the temple with the saint, bowed on the steps of the Temple of Heaven and bowed, and so on.

It was a tiring and protracted battle, and in the solemn and heavy music, Yi Yi bowed and bowed. He gradually felt a sore back, but he still had to complete all the etiquette. Fortunately, he was not alone, and the ministers behind him were all with him.

Walking to the altar, after the last salute, Ji Yi was already staggering, and it was difficult to straighten his waist. The old ministers behind him were panting, red and sweating.

Ji Yi had Mu Gonggong by his side to help, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it exceeded the expectations of Ji Bu behind him.

"Uncle Huang, get ready, your era is coming to an end. ”

As the eldest person in the royal family, Ji Buwen had a chill down his spine and was speechless for a long time. On the altar of heaven, when worshipping ancestors, Ji Yi wanted to crush himself to the ground?

If it was in the past, Ji Buwen still had room for backhanding, but this time it was difficult to turn over, and he didn't dare to talk back at this time.

"Prepare a luncheon, and let the courtiers go to the front hall. ”

Father-in-law Mu turned his head, and the little eunuch on the side immediately turned around and went to deliver the order.

Xia Xiao followed among the ministers and helped Shu Shuang pinch his slender waist.

"Now it's time for us to perform. ”

"Come on. ”

Shu Shuang said softly, looking at Ji Yi, who was still on the Temple of Heaven, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Now that Great Xia is in trouble, Xi Yi is facing a crisis, if Great Xia is destroyed by Nanshang, there will be less territory and the Xia people will die. Then even if he went to the Nine Springs, he would have no face to face his ancestors.

Looking at the courtiers under the Temple of Heaven, a trace of extremely deep light flashed in Ji Yi's eyes. In addition to themselves, they have to rely on them, but the premise is to eliminate pests.

Yi Yi got off the Temple of Heaven, Shu Shuang watched intently, and bumped into Xia Xiao.

"What's wrong?"

Shu Shuang didn't know why Xia Xiao suddenly stopped, but he soon knew that it was because of him!

In front of him, only ten meters away, Zhu Heng was standing, his eyes lowered, a little frustrated, but also hateful. He never expected that the person from afar he casually reported at the beginning was true, and he didn't expect that Xia Xiao, a person who couldn't sense the fluctuation of vitality, would walk back here from Longgang.

Zhu Tiankang was defeated, and the camp was defeated, and then it was not as simple as defeat, but death!

"We'll see. ”

Xia Xiao pulled Shu Shuang and walked over, passing by Zhu Heng, who was stunned in place, looking at the sky with a long sigh, and his heart was cold. One wrong step, one wrong step, and turning back is indifferent.

Xia Xiao walked in the crowd for a long time when he heard someone calling him.

This voice was a little unfamiliar, Xia Xiao turned around, but showed a smile. At this time, Xia Xiaoxiao is naturally not happy, but respectful. The person who came in front of him, he had seen it when he was hunting in Rongcheng, and he had thought about it for a long time, although he had no communication, he knew that his name was Du Chun.

"Brother Du. ”

Xia Xiao saluted, and Du Chun hurriedly held his arm. He can bend down to Xia Xiao, but he can't let the latter do this, even if Du Chun is talented and is already a one-star great talisman master, he can know the gap between his identity and Xia Xiao.

"Brother Xia doesn't need to be like this, let me introduce, this is Li Dong. ”

The arm crossed an arc and pointed to the man next to him, who was also a young talent. To be able to come to such a point, aside from other things, the strength is naturally strong.

smiled and bowed his head to show friendship, and so did Li Dong.

"Brother Xia, after knowing about you from Brother Du, Li was deeply impressed. ”

Li Dong was not flattering, but from the heart, and the pair of eyes looking at Xia Xiao were extremely respectful. If he asked himself, would he be able to survive like Xia Xiao? Xia Xiao's talent is naturally good, but this perseverance is not available to everyone. No matter what you do, that seemingly fragile persistence is the most important thing.

"I was forced to be helpless. ”

Xia Xiao said, and the four of them entered the corridor and walked towards the front hall. Compared with the previous neat procession, it was a little scattered at this time, and the corridor was full of people, but it was harmless, and it should have been a celebration today.

After chatting a few words, Li Dong asked curiously:

"Brother Xia, today is a good opportunity, do you want to ......?"

"Exactly!"

Xia Xiao and Li Dong looked at each other, and when the latter was amazed, Xia Xiao glanced at the front of him and said:

"It's a loss. ”
