Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 73 Magnolia
There was a violent fight in the room, and Wen Ming walked around in a hurry, unable to think of a way to open the door.

After a while, the room became quiet, and the door automatically opened with a bang.

Sheng Yang saw him at first sight.

"Wen Ming!"

He supported Duan Yuzhi anxiously and called him.

"Wen Ming!"

Wen Ming ran over in a hurry, and the soldiers also rushed into the house. Under the moonlight, he couldn't see what was in the dark room, but he could see the tears running down Sheng Yang's face.

Taifu Duan next to her closed her eyes tightly, covered in blood, looking terribly horrible.

In the 15th year of Emperor Zhao, Emperor Zhao said that he was ill and did not go to court early.

Three days later, Emperor Zhao died of illness, and Prime Minister Zuo hanged himself to die.

The five princes who have been out of the spotlight for a long time proclaim the emperor. Who would have guessed that the prince and the two princes have been fighting for power for many years, but the fifth prince finally ascended the throne.

A month later, Xindi suddenly fell ill and died.

Emperor Zhao, with few heirs, has only one daughter, Sheng Yang.

Duan Zi, Minister of Dali Temple, led the relics of Dali Temple to fight against all opinions among the courtiers, and elected Her Royal Highness Princess Shengyang as the new emperor.

Princess Shengyang was personally escorted by the Yun brothers, and went to the Taimiao to visit Bidenji. Since then, the first female emperor has ascended the throne in Tiansheng's 200-year dynasty.

Under the rule of the female emperor, Tiansheng, the country and the people are safe and prosperous, even more prosperous than Emperor Zhao was alive.

It's just that the empress disregarded her father's and prince's heirs' weak lessons. She hasn't married for ten years, and the courtiers will not waver even if they die. The harem is empty, except for a princess who doesn't know her origin.There were many gossips among the people, and the courtiers mourned everywhere. When the princess was ten years old, she climbed up the city wall to accept the worship of thousands of people, and the rumors were considered to have subsided.

It's so similar, her natural royal arrogance is exactly the same as His Royal Highness Sheng Yang's.

One year, the empress was on a tour in the south, and took the prime minister Wen Ming to visit her hometown privately. When she saw Yucheng across the plain, she remembered a sentence from her old friend.

"The brightly lit place on the opposite side is beautiful."

Her heart seemed to be shot by an arrow many years ago, she sank, and she insisted on taking the risk to go to the other side to have a look.

Yucheng is exotic, and she was in a daze as she walked through it. There was also a strange scene in Beiguan back then. She sent someone to visit it a few years ago. The streets inside were empty, but there were no living things left.

Wen Ming pointed to the opposite bank to ask passers-by.

"Where is that place facing us?"

Seeing that they were wearing Tiansheng's clothes, the man didn't dare to say anything, and took a piece of gold leaf before speaking.

"It should be that place," she pointed, "There is a big mansion there, and it is said that it is full of flowers, but I haven't seen many people coming in and out, and I don't know who it is. No one lives there."

No one spends...

Just arriving at Huaju, the plaque at the door made Sheng Yang feel a little strange.

"Li House?"

Wen Ming went up and knocked on the door, but no one answered after knocking for a long time.

They sat in the restaurant opposite and waited until it got dark.

Shouting and hawking downstairs, there is a huge crowd. Sheng Yang has never seen such a scene since she ascended the throne of God. It was back then when she was drinking and drinking tea in the Chunri Building, watching the vast snow scene, and the people downstairs shuttled around for their livelihood. The higher the higher the higher...

Over the years, things have changed and people have changed. The Chunri Building has changed owners and has been renamed.

When Duan Yuzhi was dying, his master when he was a monster catcher said that there might be a glimmer of life, so he came back and took him away. From then on, she didn't even know whether he was alive or dead. All these years, she had always harbored fantasies that maybe he hurt him. Well, I will always live in seclusion somewhere, and no longer mix with the affairs of the court.

But why is he reluctant to come to see him...

At night, she dozed sleepily on the table, and Wen Ming woke her up.

"Your Majesty, someone has come out."

They hurried over, it was an old man with white hair and beard, and loose skin, they stopped him at the door, Sheng Yang took a closer look with a glimmer of hope, it was indeed not him.

"What do you two nobles do?"

"Old man, is the Patriarch surnamed Li here?"

The old man looked them over.

"Are you from the opposite side?"

"Yes."

He suddenly looked at Sheng Yang and asked, "Your surname is Li?"

The surname Li is honored in Tiansheng, but outside Shengyang, he never speaks casually, for fear of causing disaster.

Seeing that the old man turned around to leave, she still replied.

"Yes."

The old man was a little surprised, he looked at her carefully with his wide eyes, and said quickly.

"You wait."

He trotted in hastily, opened the door and came out after a while, holding a scroll of paintings in his hand, and opened it for a look.

"My God!"

His hands were shaking with excitement, he looked at the painting, then at Sheng Yang, and burst into tears.

"It's you, you're really here! Patriarch!"

"Homeowner?"

Sheng Yang and Wen Ming looked at each other.

Entering the house, there are not many rooms, most of the place is used for planting flowers, a large piece of magnolia flowers, Sheng Yang looked at it in a daze, it turned out to be her favorite flower.

"Patriarch, Master Duan personally planted this for you."

"What did you say?"

"He planted it for you himself!"

"No, who did you say planted this?"

Sheng Yang's heart rose to her throat. The feeling at this moment was very similar to that when Duan Yuzhi couldn't afford to be injured. She was heartbroken and couldn't breathe.

"Master Duan! Hey, it's been too long, and I don't remember. He is tall and well-mannered. He bought this house, planted magnolias himself, and hired many servants to take care of him. But I don't know why he didn't Never came back."

Sheng Yang's eyes darkened.

"How long has it been?"

"Ten years!"

"What about the others?"

"Ten years ago, our side suddenly cut off the supply. Some people said that something happened to the adults there. After a few days, the people ran away. I am an old man and I have nowhere to go. I want to do some manual maintenance here. For livelihood, there is also a place to shelter from the wind and rain, my lord treats me generously, I will wait here for him, and for the Patriarch to return."

"He gave you my portrait?"

"Yes, when he gave it to me, he said that this is the real owner of this room. I was afraid of admitting a mistake, so I asked him several times. He only said that your surname is Li, and you have an extraordinary bearing. When you talk about it, you will know it when you meet... ...I didn't expect...it's been ten years..."

He looked at Sheng Yang in a daze for a moment, as if he had returned to the night ten years ago, Mr. Duan stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking at the newly planted magnolia and smiling slightly.

At this moment, he was looking at the tallest magnolia plant. In ten years, the flowers had bloomed and withered, and had bloomed several times after withering.

……

The people of Yucheng have been very curious recently. Recently, there have been a lot of people in the Konghuajuli, which has not been lived in for ten years. Especially when it comes to winter, there will be a little girl's voice.

Once a man saw two women coming out of it.

One has a pair of winking eyes, quite exotic, with a pointed chin, half covering his face, and the other is young, with a pair of Ruifeng eyes, and his small face is full of arrogance.

The two went out to play hand in hand.

The man took the opportunity to glance at the courtyard, which was full of white magnolias. The fragrance of the flowers slipped out from the crack of the door and flew into his nose. Under the magnolias, a noble woman stood quietly among them.
