That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 847
There is a saying called "the cicadas are aware of the golden wind before it moves", which means that the autumn wind has not yet arrived, but the cicadas have already noticed it.Later, it was extended to the mysterious realm of monks. The enemy's murderous intentions were first moved, and he had not shown it on the outside, but he had already felt it.In this huge palace city, those eunuchs are cicadas, and Sun Zhihong, the supervisor of ceremonies, is undoubtedly the best among all the cicadas.

He "surrendered" the first time Fu Zhongtian took control of the situation in the imperial capital, and the first time Fu Zhongtian escaped from the imperial capital in embarrassment, he was the first person to "abandon the dark and turn to the bright".

In the dimly lit dark guard prison, Sun Zhihong opened the prison door himself, and said flatteringly, "Mr. Han."

Han Xuan, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, raised his eyelids and asked, "Eunuch Sun, what do you mean?"

Sun Zhihong bent down to help Han Xuan, "Of course I ask you to go out."

The old man waved his hand, and without letting Sun Zhihong help him, he asked bluntly, "The situation outside has changed? Or is it the old man's time limit?"

"Old Prime Minister lived to be a hundred years old, and he still has to live another 99 years. There is no limit." Sun Zhihong smiled and said, "It was Mr. Xiaoge who came to Beijing to set things right. Fu's rebels have already escaped from the imperial capital."

Han Xuan's face was calm, but he let out a deep sigh.

Sun Zhihong bent down to help Han Xuan again, and the smile on his face was even bigger, "The old man has a clever plan, knowing that Fu's traitor can't grow up, no wonder he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, the servants admire."

This time, Han Xuan did not refuse, and stood up tremblingly with Sun Zhihong's support.

Sun Zhihong said softly: "Master Han, His Royal Highness King Yan..."

He stopped abruptly, then stretched out his hand and slapped himself heavily on the face, spat again, and then said: "Xiao Li has already said that he will hold a court meeting tomorrow, and he will confess his crimes and subdue the law at the court meeting. "

Han Xuan coughed heavily, and asked with difficulty, "Where are the others in Nangui?"

Sun Zhihong shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiao Ge didn't say where he was going, and Xiao Li didn't know either."

Han Xuan nodded, coughing heavily again.

Sun Zhihong's face was full of worry, and he couldn't see the slightest falsehood. He said with more sincerity than a filial son: "The old man still needs to take care of his health. The burden of our Daqi is still on your shoulders."

"It's okay." Han Xuan shook his head, "Even if I can't survive this winter, Nangui and the others can support the overall situation, and that's enough."

……

The Longevity Palace is brightly lit.

Outside the palace are more than ten thousand soldiers of Tiance Mansion who turned their backs.

In the palace, Xiao Zhinan was sitting alone, with a jug of wine and two wine glasses on the table in front of her.

She is the princess of Da Qi and the last member of the Xiao family of the Tian family, but logically speaking, since Xiao Bai's death, the Tian family has become extinct, and it is necessary to find a vassal king from other Xiao family members to inherit the throne.

However, this move is so involved that it is enough to shake the state system.

At that time, Emperor Wuzong of Dazheng had no son, and Emperor Sejong of Dazheng inherited the throne as a vassal, which caused a dispute over etiquette. On the surface, it was a dispute between "succession" and "succession", but in fact it was a dispute between the old imperial power and the new imperial power. It even involved the dispute between Zhu Jiaxue and Wang Jiaxinxue in Confucianism.

The current situation is not much different. There are only three people who are qualified to inherit the great lineage. One is Wei Wang Xiao Jin who is half-brother with Taizu Xiao Yu, the other is Xiao Li who comes from Xiao Shen's lineage, and the third is Xiao Gongyu's lineage. Xiao Quji, and as for Xiao Mahe who came from the lineage of Xiao Zheng and Xiao Shu, it is absolutely impossible unless there is a change of dynasty.

In fact, the first two were already no different from rebels. If it weren't for them, the Daqi court would not have come to where it is today. These two people would never be able to inherit the great rule, and only Xiao Quji, the king of Liangwu County, would be left.It's just that Xiao Quji has always been cowardly, no matter whether it's hiding clumsiness or self-defilement, Xiao Bai is already dead, so why does he support the great world?

So she, a married woman from the Xiao family, had to stand up.

It is said that a married daughter is a spilled water, so she is no longer a member of the family, but her surname is still Xiao after all.

No matter what the world says, before his father died, he gave her the power to take care of his life, let her preside over the overall situation, and even choose the new monarch, it can't be wrong.

Now, her husband has gone to the city.

For the sake of the world, for the imperial court, for the Xiao family, and for Jianzong, he went to the city.

Xiao Zhinan picked up the jug and filled the two wine glasses.

She picked up one of the wine glasses and touched the other lightly, then covered it with her big sleeve, and drank the wine in her hand in one gulp.

……

In the big formation of Tianji, the old and the young still confronted each other.

The young man supported the three-foot Qingfeng entangled by two air dragons with both hands, his body swayed slightly, and blood continued to ooze from his body.

The sword-wielding old man standing opposite was also uncomfortable. A little blood oozes from his chest at first, and then the blood continues to expand and soon covers his entire chest.

Although the two did not fight directly, they fought with sword intent and sword energy in the air, and the danger in it was no less than that of a sword fight where the winner is determined within three feet.

The old man sneered and said: "Why bother, you fought Bingchen first, and you must have fought Fu Zhongtian once you got here. Don't tell me you really think of yourself as Shangguan Xianchen? You are the only one in the world? No one can fight against you? "

The young man was silent.

The sneer on the old man's face was even worse, "Although the old man is no longer at the peak, it is still not something that you, a little earth fairy, can easily contend with, especially you were seriously injured in the previous battle in Bingchen. It's just that I don't have the capital to fight my life with this old man."

If there is another Earth Immortal above the sixteenth floor of the Earth Immortal here at this time, you will see that within a distance of less than a hundred feet between the two, there are lines of sword energy criss-crossing, some are strangling each other, and some are rushing towards each other separately. Two people, and then caused new injuries to their already seriously injured bodies.

Neither of them intended to stop, so this scene would continue until one of them fell down.

The young man finally said indifferently: "Xiao Shen, you don't need to confuse me with your words. I know the situation of you and me. Instead of doing these useless things, it's better to talk about other things."

Xiao Shen said blankly: "Okay."

In the midst of the sword qi, Xu Beiyou said flatly: "I'm actually very curious. It's not surprising that you betrayed Jianzong back then. After all, the Jianzong Building is about to fall, and the Xiao family and Daomen are the general trend. It's only a matter of time before you win the world." , You turned your back on Jianzong at that time, it makes more sense, but what I can't figure out is why you, the ancestor of the Xiao family, turned your back on the Xiao family."

Xiao Shen asked back: "Xiao Jin?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said: "He didn't betray Xiao Shi, he has his ambition in the world, you are different."

The corner of Xiao Shen's mouth curled up slightly, "He wants his world, I want my longevity, it's that simple."

Xu Beiyou said softly, "Longevity."

Xiao Shen hesitated for a moment, "To this day, I might as well tell the truth. I originally wanted to use Xiao Bai as a wedding dress, and persuade him to absorb the luck of the emperor to prove the way of ascension. , to steal an opportunity for ascension, but Xiao Bai hid a hand of the Emperor Sword, and the wedding dress was not made, and almost cost me my old life. It's a pity, Xiao Bai has calculated thousands of times, and the heavens will not allow him. So he died, but the old man is still alive."

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "It turns out that this is really a good plan."

Xiao Shen sneered and said: "The old man has calculated for so many years, but at the end of his lifespan, he still failed to calculate a long life, but he didn't expect that if he deliberately planted flowers and flowers, but unintentionally planted willows and willows to make shade, Xiao Bai died, you Xu Beiyou took the initiative to deliver it to your door."
