Hidden Blade Chapter 120: The Past of Chen Guo (Part 1)
At night, the snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped.
But Fang Ziyu knew that the snow was only temporarily stopped, in order to brew a bigger and colder blizzard.
It will go down until the end of this winter, of course, provided that this winter really has an end.
The night is already very deep, but Fang Ziyu is not sleepy. She doesn't want to sleep, and she doesn't seem to be able to sleep. There was a red candle in the room, but the good red candle did not illuminate the deep darkness in the gorgeous palace. Fang Ziyu looked out the window, thinking that it would be the day when Ye Hongjian and the others would leave in a few days. , She couldn't go, which made her very helpless and guilty.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sighed, and then once again focused on the book before the case.
Chen Xuanji gave her twenty days to memorize the things in this book one by one. Although she didn't understand what this meant for Chen Xuanji, she thought if she could be fast If she writes down these useless things one day, Chen Xuanji will give her freedom one day earlier. If she is fast enough, she might be able to catch up with the decisive battle in Dayuan Mountain.
Birth or death, she wants to be with that group of people. It seems that as long as they are together, nothing is so scary for Fang Ziyu.
When Fang Ziyu thought of this, she immediately became motivated. She clenched her fists to cheer herself up, and muttered to herself: "Fang Ziyu, you can do it."
"You can definitely do it."
Fang Ziyu, who was immersed in those boring books, didn't notice it. A red figure stood silently outside the window and watched her for a while, before turning away without a sound.
......
And the red figure walking through the Changle Palace, her speed is not fast, but neither the eunuchs patrolling at night in the palace nor the armored soldiers pacing back and forth outside the palace have not noticed her existence. She is like a ghost, wandering in the Changle Palace, no one can perceive her existence except herself.
Soon she passed through the palaces and finally stopped in front of a courtyard.
"The melancholy mist of the jade bone, the ice muscle has its own fairy wind."
"The sea fairy was sent to explore the Fang Cong, hanging upside down with green hair Yaofeng."
"Plain noodles are often too powdery, and the red lips will not fade after washing makeup."
"High affection has gone through the sky, and I am not in the same dream with Lihua."
At that time, there was a man's low voice singing in the courtyard gate. The red figure was taken aback for a moment, looked up in the direction of the courtyard gate, and saw a plaque hanging on the courtyard gate, writing a loquat. Garden three characters.
The red figure thought about it secretly. If she remembers it correctly, this place should be the residence in front of the late Queen Chen, Yan Yanyan. It’s just that I heard that this place has long been sealed because of the rebellion of the Yan family. This order was given by Chen Xuanji himself. It is reasonable to say that the inside should be uninhabited. Why are there waves of singing inside at this moment?
Of course, this is a somewhat weird thing, but such doubts have not yet completely filled the man's heart, and a voice came from the courtyard gate at that time.
"Since Uncle Hongjian is here, why not come in and sit down."
Ye Hongjian, dressed in red, was taken aback at that time, and then she realized it again. She stretched out her hand and slowly pushed open the courtyard door that had been sealed in dust for a long time to outsiders. The accumulated dust rustled down with her push, but before it touched Ye Hongjian's clothes, it was burned by the scorching sun suddenly rising from Ye Hongjian's body and turned into strands. The green smoke dissipated.
Ye Hongjian didn't realize this, she looked into the courtyard with a deep brow.
Although after hearing the voice, she had already guessed who was in the courtyard, but when she saw the situation inside, she still couldn't help but feel a slight shock.
There is a big tree in the courtyard. The leaves have fallen out in winter, and the branches are covered with thick snow, as if to completely bend the entire tree.
And the thick white snow piled up under the tree, and the handsome man in white clothes with white hair next to the old tree on the snow, holding a jug of wine in one hand, and gently laying the other hand on the snow, sitting right now Beside the old tree, looking at Ye Hongjian with drunken eyes and dimly smiling.
After the demise of Linglong Pavilion, there are not many people in this world who can still call Ye Hongjian to the uncle. One Fang Ziyu, and the other one is the man in front of him-the emperor of Chen Kingdom Chen. Mystery!
Chen Xuanji seemed to be very happy about Ye Hongjian's arrival. His cheeks were flushed, but the hand holding the wine bottle raised towards Ye Hongjian. He shook the wine bottle and said, "Uncle Shi It’s just right, let’s have a pot, shall we?"
Ye Hongjian was silent and did not respond to Chen Xuanji’s invitation, but still walked slowly towards Chen Xuanji at that time, stopped about half a foot away from him, and then sat cross-legged like this Got there.
Chen Xuanji smiled even more when he saw it, he straightened his body and handed the flask to Ye Hongjian.
But at that time, Ye Hongjian stretched out his hand and pushed aside the flask, shook his head, but said nothing.
Chen Xuanji couldn't help but stunned, but soon he reacted and said: "The screaming of the uncle and the uncle, I almost forgot, the uncle is also a woman, or the woman of the Xu brother."
After saying this, Chen Xuanji's other hand suddenly stretched out and squeezed it towards the void. There was a soft noise in the house in that courtyard at that time, and a thing flew out at that time. In his hands, it was an unopened wine bottle. Looking at the posture, Chen Xuanji seemed to be preparing many such drinks here.
This time, facing the hip flask he handed over, Ye Hongjian did not refuse.
She took the thing, lifted the seal on it, then raised her head to take a sip, acting boldly, without the pretentiousness of an ordinary woman.
"Uncle Shi is really a hero of the female middle school, and the women don't let the eyebrows be shaved!" Chen Xuanji burst out laughing when he saw this.
"I drank the wine." But Ye Hongjian didn't have the thought of teasing with Chen Xuanji. She put down the hip flask in her hand and looked at Chen Xuanji with a serious face and said: "Tell me the business."
But Chen Xuanji turned a deaf ear to this statement. He still said with a dim smile: "Speaking of which, although I and Shishu are both disciples, it seems that I have never had the opportunity to drink with Shishu. , Today you and me..."
In the middle of saying this, Chen Xuanji stopped, not because he didn't know how to say it, but because Ye Hongjian's eyebrows suddenly surged with evil spirits at that time, and Chen Xuanji knew that he was so careless. Saying him, I'm afraid this gathering will end up unhappy.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Chen Xuanji really needed someone to say something in order to relieve the distress in his heart after coming to Chen Guo.
"Ziyu said that you made her carry a lot of inexplicable things, most of which are local customs, or anecdotes from officials of the State of Chen. Historical materials have also been piled up at her desk, let’s talk about it, what exactly do you want to do? Why would Xiaohan agree to this marriage, and even help you mediate in it?" Ye Hongjian saw Chen Xuanji stop. Then he asked.
When Chen Xuanji heard this, he slowly stood up at that time.
The snow fell again, and Bai Xue fell on his white hair and white clothes, almost blending with him. He paced back and forth around the old tree, the picture was as beautiful as a scene in the story ——The fairy in white goes around the Guteng, and the city is full of pear rain.
"This is the bedroom of my last queen."
And he started his own whispering at that time.
"She is called Yan Yanyan, and their Yan family is a big family of Chen State, with wealth that is as rich as that of an enemy country. Their businesses are distributed almost everywhere in Chen State, and the fields involved almost cover all walks of life that can be involved. ."
"At that time, I had just ascended the throne, and Munch, my uncle, was in control of the government. Although I was named Emperor Chen, I didn’t have much power in my hands. Even after ascending to the throne, I would cruise around Jinling City, the people. I only know the King of Qin Munch, but I don’t know what I am."
"I didn't care about this emperor's family affairs. I stayed well in Linglong Pavilion. There are teachers who treat me like myself, treat me like a brother, and more... more fish..."
"They insisted on pulling me back, doing what Emperor Chen Guo, but after doing it? Not long after they met Daxia sent troops to Chang Wuguan, Munch said that he could not come out of illness and forced me to call out. The clan uncle Chen Ping went to Changwuguan, so in the battle at Changwuguan, the clan uncle and the more than 100,000 troops in his hand died in the battle. Munch shot back Cui Ting. And I, Chen Guo, is here, except for him. The Tiger Wolf Cavalry in Munch’s hands no longer has any soldiers available. From then on, others in Chen’s country appear to be surnamed Chen, but in fact he already has the surname Meng."
"Chen Tingzhu, that is, my father. I actually don’t have a good impression of him. He killed my mother himself, but when I saw lying on the sickbed and held my last breath just to tell me After the last paragraph, I still can’t help but my heart trembles, and no amount of hatred has disappeared at that time. What’s more, the longer I sit in this position, the more I understand what he did. What is it for?"
"There is no luck in the emperor's house."
I don’t know if it’s because of drinking too much, Chen Xuanji muttered a lot, and finally sighed again, but Ye Hongjian couldn’t hear it, let alone understand what he said. What do you want to express.
For this, Ye Hongjian can't help but frown, but Chen Xuanji seems to be completely silent in his own memories, still talking non-stop on his own.
"Since I was in this position, for the sake of self-preservation or the emperor's position, I could not let Munch go on like this after all. I didn't want to do it, so he forced me to do it. So I found it. The Yan family married Yan Yanyan into the palace and gave her the position of Empress Chen. In return, the Yan family completely stood by my side, and they all assisted me both in terms of financial and human resources. That Yan The Patriarch has transformed me into an army of 200,000 elites in just one month."
"Everything seems to be developing well at this time. I hold the military power, and Chen Guo is no longer the Monk family."
"But Munch’s city palace is really too deep, and none of my actions escaped his eyes. He forced me, step by step. When Cui Ting committed the crime again, I wanted to He isolated him in front of Changwu Pass like the way he killed his uncle, and when others were trapped and run out of horses, he would annihilate him in one fell swoop, but he didn't want him to have already cultivated into an immortal. The first thing at the time was to ask my teacher for sin. I had no choice but to retreat all this to the Yan family, Yan Yan... also died at that time... was killed by my own hands. ."
Ye Hongjian has only heard about the rebellion of the first queen of Chen Guo. Although it is clear that there must be some imperial power disputes, he never thought that this would be done by Chen Xuanji himself. .
It seems that I also felt the horror and incomprehension in the eyes cast by Ye Hongjian, and the smile on Chen Xuanji's face also became a bit bitter at that time.
He stretched out his finger to the room door in the courtyard that was still considered talking, and said again: "This is Yanyan's bedroom at the time. Actually, I thought about it carefully. I really don't like her. . Marrying her is nothing more than to borrow the power of the Yan family. But she seems to really like me."
"I thought about it for a long time that day, how to settle Munch’s blame and how to calm the wave with the least loss. Yanyan’s words reminded me that she always comforted me and said that as long as I live, There is a chance. I am very young, but Munch is already old. Well, at that time, Munch hadn't revealed his true face, and we didn't even know that he had become an immortal. Yanyan let me wait with peace of mind, one day I will wait until that opportunity, as long as I am still alive, and she also said that she is willing to help me, willing to help me desperately."
"So I thought about it all night and thought of this way. When I made up my mind to come here, Yanyan greeted me with a smile as usual, and asked if I thought of a way. I'm serious Tell her that I thought about it, and she asked me what I could do..."
The Chen Xuanji who said this paused for a while. I don't know if it was an illusion. Ye Hongjian felt that Chen Xuanji's body seemed to be trembling at this moment, a tremor that could not be contained by a slight worry.
Chen Xuanji stretched out his hands and squeezed in the air. There was nothing in his hands, but his knuckles were a little white, and lines appeared on the exposed white arms, which was violent due to excessive force. From the green veins.
Chen Xuanji's eyes were red, and the expression in his eyes was mad and distorted.
At that time, his mouth spit out a voice like a whispered evil spirit: "Just like this, I pinched her hard, and killed her in her fearful and puzzled eyes."
Ye Hongjian's heart was stunned. She had also been in some dilemma. At that time, she had not made a decision that satisfies her. She can understand some of the pain in Chen Xuanji's heart at this moment. Of course, this But her understanding does not mean that she agrees with Chen Xuanji's almost ruthless approach.
She looked at Chen Xuanji silently, trying to say something, but felt that saying anything seemed so out of place at this moment.
Until a long time later, Chen Xuanji fell to the ground again.
He lifted the jug on the side again, raised his head and drank. He drank quickly and was so anxious that the wine stains poured down his lips and soaked his clothes. It seemed that this was all , He can extinguish the confusion and anxiety that is surging in his heart at this moment.
When he drank the wine in the jug, he said again.
But both the tone of voice and the look on his face have dimmed a bit at this moment.
"This is not a difficult thing. After all, Yanyan doesn't have much cultivation base. She naturally doesn't have much room for resistance in front of me. But the difficult thing is..."
"Since the Yan family has been crowned with the crime of conspiracy to frame Munch, one Yan Yanyan is naturally not enough to quell the incident. Therefore, the entire Yan family has to be buried for her. I sent someone to copy the Yan family. Things that shouldn’t have appeared in Munch’s eyes appeared in his eyes. For the second time, I can also take over some of the Yan family’s forces as much as possible, so that I can recover the loss of the Shache Baoshuai. So a lot of about the Yan family The secret letters to communicate with other places were sent to the palace. I looked through them one by one, and only then discovered that Yan’s family is far from as simple as I thought."
"In fact, it is true after thinking about it. When I was forced to flee to Dazhou more than ten years ago, the Yan family was just one of the many humble clans in Jinling City. There was no support from the court. How can a small clan grow to this point in more than ten years. It has a secret hidden behind it, and there is also a monster that is more terrifying than Chen Guo, Da Zhou or even Da Xia."
When Ye Hongjian heard this, she stared at the crazy-looking Chen Xuanji, and her heart was shocked. At that time, she seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously blurted out: "You mean Senluodian?"
Chen Xuanji smiled when he heard the words, and he praised loudly: "Uncle Master Bingxue is smart, really can't hide anything from Master Uncle."
This kind of praise is somewhat hypocritical. After all, the power of the Three Kingdoms in the world today is only comparable to that of the three kingdoms of Xia, Zhou and Chen. Chen Xuanji said that at this level, anyone can guess one or two of them.
"The Yan family is a force that has eroded into the Chen Kingdom~IndoMTL.com~ They developed secretly. They have reached this point in just over ten years, but Shishu should also know that whether it is rooted in Da Zhou or Xia’s Senluo Temple is all intricately rooted, not to mention destroying them, but most people only realized its power after it surfaced on its own. Why are the forces in Chen’s territory so weak and vulnerable?"
"Leave aside the huge number of Asuras, even if they are giants of one power, they will probably send one of the Ten Temple Yamas to supervise them. This Yama's talent, the uncle, should also know that it must be a half-step fairyland. A master at that time, I was able to reach the Great Evolvement Realm at that time, how can I easily pull out the Senluo Temple from Chen Kingdom..."
Chen Xuanji’s question caused Ye Hongjian’s heart to be stunned again. This is indeed a problem. In the style of Sen Luodian, Chen Xuanji’s cultivation skills and the power in his hands wanted It is incredible to do this.
"Sen Luo Temple has been operating in Chen Kingdom for more than ten years. The accumulated financial and material resources are not shown for the time being. The Shura alone is as huge as 200,000, but it is a pity that they gave me the 200,000, and they really gave it to me. The two hundred thousand Shura only obeyed my orders. Since then, the Senluo Temple has only left various caravans and a tangled intelligence network in Chen Kingdom. Therefore, the Senluo Temple is powerful in other countries, but it seems to be intricately rooted in Chen Kingdom. There is no fighting power at all."
"But, how can Senluodian hand over the two hundred thousand army to your hands with such confidence?" Ye Hongjian couldn't help but feel a little confused when he heard this. With Senluodian's style of acting, how could he do such a thing? matter.
Chen Xuanji seemed to have expected that Ye Hongjian would ask this question. He smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the dead tree beside him, his eyes were gentle, and he muttered: "Because he is in charge of Chen Guo That half-step fairyland of Yama..."
"It's called Yan Yanyan."
