Concubine is always vicious

Chapter 72

But if Ning Zhiyuan and Han Ji really succeeded in obtaining Bodhidharma's body, they would have to encounter a lot of trouble if they wanted to return from the Beidou Dynasty.

At this time, if you promise Huo Tianchen some benefits, she will have less trouble. This is actually a win-win situation.Of course, in terms of the importance of Bodhidharma's remains, this win-win situation is not equal.And Huo Tianchen is also a smart person, although he vaguely thought of An Huan's purpose, he didn't point it out.

The conversation was interrupted here, the two of you looked at me, I looked at each other, and at some point, they squinted and smiled at each other in a very tacit understanding...

In the next few days, An Huan still closed the door and used various methods to recover her skills and strengthen her body, but the effect was not obvious because of the real energy in her body.

Today, when she swings a punch, her strength is not even one-tenth of what she used to be. Although on the one hand, there are residual symptoms after detoxification of the poison of ignorance, but more factors are that Huo Tianxiao forcibly punched her. Infuriating in the body.

An Huan is also well-informed, with extensive knowledge and strong knowledge. Daxiong Temple contains thousands of things, and all kinds of knowledge are complex and huge. It is precisely because I have heard about it that I know the power and horror of it, and I am very angry at Huo Tianxiao's cruel method.

"Huo Tianxiao, if there is a chance, I will definitely let you experience this kind of pain." An Huan gritted her teeth, her face was ferocious, a maid who just came in with hot water saw her like this, she was scared out of her wits, A large basin of water fell from his hand.

With a "bang", the basin hit the ground, and there was a loud noise. The maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy. An Huan looked at her thoughtfully, waved her hand, and said lightly, "Get up, I'm not worth your knees." After saying that, he turned and walked into the inner room.

The maid stared blankly at her back, unable to recover for a long time.

She said that it's not worth her kneeling. What exactly do you mean by that?
……

And when An Huan was exhausting all kinds of thoughts to improve his skills, several major events happened in Kaitian City.

One is that General Li Mu led three hundred men back to Beijing ahead of schedule, and rushed into the palace at midnight that night, causing a farce of midnight horror.

Li Mu has been invincible in the battlefield for many years, and the soldiers under his command are even more brave. Although there are only [-] soldiers, these [-] soldiers broke through the obstacles inside the palace all the way, and rushed directly into Huo Tianchen's bedroom.

Afterwards, Li Mu knelt down for half an hour to plead guilty to Huo Tianchen, and then bluntly said that the guarding force of the palace is too weak, once a strong enemy invades, there is no defense and needs to be improved.

These words were like a heavy slap on the face of Xie Hai, the defender of the capital without any precaution. He never expected that the general would not return to Beijing for many years because of the reason that he would not accept the order of the general. As soon as he returned to Beijing, such a big incident happened, he was shot while lying down.

Xie Hai almost didn't use the name of the eighteenth generation of his ancestors to swear that he would rectify the power of the palace guards. Who knew that Huo Tianchen just waved his hand lightly to signal him to go down.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Mu's actions seem to be putting pressure on Xie Hai. In fact, the entire imperial court civil and military officials, could it be that they feel strong pressure? It makes people feel unsafe.

And Huo Tianchen knew very well that this was Li Mu trying to show him off.

He urgently summoned Li Mu back to Beijing. Although Li Mu was dissatisfied, he had to come, otherwise he would be guilty of rebellion.It's just that Li Mu is not an ordinary person. This entry into Beijing directly caused a big embarrassment to the civil and military officials, and abruptly turned the disadvantaged situation back. It is really courageous and good. This point, even if it is Huo Tianchen , also had to obey.

Another thing is that Zhao Wuji, the second prince of the Beidou Dynasty, as the envoy hand-picked by the emperor of the Beidou Dynasty, came to the Xingluo Dynasty on behalf of the Beidou Emperor, and by the way condolences to Huo Tianchen who has been ill.

When many forces competed for Bodhidharma's body in the territory of the Beidou Dynasty, the emperor of the Beidou Dynasty made such a show that people had to cheer up and think about the purpose.

Civil and military officials of the Star Luo Dynasty talked a lot, accusing the condolences of being false, and the fact that they came to check on Huo Tianchen's body was the truth.

But no matter what, since Zhao Wuji came, the Xingluo Dynasty, as the host country, must do their best to treat him well as a landlord, other tricks are for later.

This day is a rare sunny day, Kaitian City in summer is extremely hot and dry, the sun always shines from the beginning of the day to the night, which makes people's hearts unavoidably disturbed.

Civil and military officials passed by the stone arch bridge at the entrance of the palace, and rushed to the palace one by one, for fear of missing the time to go to court.

And the guards of the imperial city took a deep breath because of Li Mu's note of Ma Wei, and all of them stared wide-eyed and observed everything around them, lest some idlers would sneak into the palace by taking advantage of troubled waters.

In fact, ordinary people would never dare to enter forbidden places like the imperial city, unless they really didn't want to live anymore.

And those three hundred subordinates like Li Mu are completely abnormal existences, which cannot be understood by normal people's thinking logic at all.

However, since the incident happened and the face was slapped, Xie Hai, the defender of the capital, had to put up all his energy to deal with it. Otherwise, if something went wrong, he would not only be slapped in the face, but Huo Tianchen's face would be slapped redly. Well, at that time, the black gauze hat on his head could not be kept no matter what.

At this time, on the stone arch bridge on the right, a young man stopped in the middle of the arch bridge. The young man looked about 25 or [-] years old, but he was young and old, and he could faintly see gray hair that did not match the characteristics of his age group. .

However, his face looked extremely clean and handsome, with bright eyebrows and starry eyes, and a bold nose. Even if he stood there motionless, there was an astonishing heroic spirit emanating from him.

The ministers who were about to go up the arch bridge saw him on the right arch bridge, turned around one after another, and walked towards the left arch bridge.

There were only two exceptions, neither of them wore official uniforms, one in front and one behind, one purple and one white, mixed among all civil and military officials, but they were extremely conspicuous.

The young man in purple cupped his hands towards the young man, and said respectfully, "General Li."

The young man smiled lightly and said, "The second prince is polite, please."

"Thank you." The young man who was called the second prince smiled and walked straight forward. After walking a few steps, he bent down slightly and coughed.

This purple-clothed man looks gorgeous, with an aura of aristocrats exuding from his body, but it's a pity that he has been a sick child since he was a child, and he grew up soaked in medicine jars.

The civil and military officials who passed by, even after a long distance, would still turn their heads to look at him, and then sighed, lamenting that heaven is jealous of talents.

And the man in purple will smile back one by one, and his attitude is extremely friendly.

The man in purple was none other than Zhao Wuji, the second prince of the Beidou Dynasty who came to send an envoy to the Star Luo Dynasty, but before he came, no one thought that he would be such a person.

Even in summer, the weather was very stuffy, but the air around Zhao Wuji was still icy cold, just like his body, his body was so fragile that it felt like a gust of wind could blow people away.

No one could have imagined how much of a threat such a person could pose to the Star Luo Dynasty. Perhaps, in this situation, no one would think too much about it.

It's just that the young man still didn't look back at him for a long time, until there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him again, then he frowned slightly, looked away, and smiled at the man in white, "I've seen Xiaoyao Wang."

The man in white is Huo Tianxiao. He has been exhausted from dealing with Kaitian City's affairs during this period. Although Li Mu has been back for two days, he has never had the chance to meet him. He never expected to meet him at such an opportunity.

He took a look at Li Mu, and unconsciously a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said lightly, "General Li is waiting for me here?"

Li Mu smiled, "Your Highness's eyes are bright, he is indeed waiting for His Highness."

"Is there something wrong?" Huo Tianxiao also noticed Zhao Wuji who was not far ahead.

Speaking of which, Zhao Wuji was not well-known in the Beidou Dynasty. Before he came, no one knew that he was such a person.

She looks weak, but there is a spiritual energy emanating from her body, like a flower blooming in the dust.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are some things that I want to talk to the prince."

"What do you mean?"

"Zhao Wuji." Li Mu said directly.

"Oh, Zhao Wuji, what can he do?" Huo Tianxiao pretended not to care.

Although Huo Tianxiao's reaction was very cold, but who Li Mu is, he had already seen the clue from Huo Tianxiao's eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "My lord, you must be interested in that Zhao Wuji, right?"

Huo Tianxiao froze for a moment, then smiled, "This is the first time I've seen him, so I can't tell you what it's like. What do you mean by interest?"

Li Mudao, "Don't you think it's interesting that Beidou Emperor sent such a prince here?"

"You can't judge by appearance!" Huo Tianxiao frowned.

"Of course I don't underestimate him, but I feel that I can't see him clearly, so I said this." Li Mu said seriously.

A person like him, who leads thousands of troops and kills decisively, has his own means of knowing and employing people, but he can't see through that Zhao Wuji at all, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

Huo Tianxiao thought for a while, then suddenly laughed. He took a step forward, patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "General Li is worrying too much. It's just a very ordinary messenger exchange. What can happen. But Li Mu General yourself, young man with gray hair, this is not a good thing, after so many years of hard work on the frontier battlefield, it is time to unload the burden and take a good rest."

Li Mu's face changed slightly when he heard this meaningful sentence, and he faintly thought of Huo Tianchen's purpose for calling him back to Beijing this time, but the gloom flashed across his face, and he quickly regained his composure With a calm expression, he said with a gentle smile, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I feel that my body is fine. After ten or twenty years of hard work, there should be no problem."

Huo Tianxiao stared, and sighed, "General Li, you are really a role model for my generation." While talking and laughing, the breath on his body was extremely cold, he bypassed him, and walked straight ahead.

Li Mu stood on the stone arch bridge and looked at his receding back. It took a long time before he looked away.

It seems that, as he expected before, returning to Beijing this time will be dangerous and unpredictable...

In the palace hall, Huo Tianchen was in a high position, looking down at the officials.

Because he was going to meet the envoy of the Beidou Dynasty and the general Li Mu who came back from the frontier, Huo Tianchen asked the maid to put some powder on his face, so that his face didn't look so pale and ugly.

It's just that his complexion is still extremely bad, his eyes are dull and lifeless, he is weak when he speaks, and there will be a slight panting sound every time he speaks a sentence or two.
