Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty was the first to bear the brunt, and fell to the ground amid the powerful energy fluctuations. The high platform shook violently, and the tablets of his ancestors on the case fell one after another.

The sacrifices and offerings were scattered all over the floor, and some of the flying tiles hit Emperor Yuan Jing.

The scene instantly became chaotic, and the imperial troops patrolling the surrounding area quickly gathered their forces and rushed towards Sangbo.

The watchmen who were on guard by the lake rushed to the sacrificial procession to protect the royal family and civil and military officials.

"There are assassins protecting Your Majesty."

"Protect the queen, protect the princess..."

"Protect the Chief Assistant...."

The silhouettes of people flickered, and the ten golden gongs who were calling the yamen, the masters of the five guards of the imperial army, the masters of the clan, in just a moment, at least dozens of high-level warriors rose into the air, and landed on the high platform and in the winding corridor.

Determined to protect Emperor Yuan Jing closely.

The commotion only lasted for a dozen breaths, because the sword energy that pierced the sky quickly dissipated, and the lake returned to calm.

There were no assassins. As the storm subsided, everything was stable, with no casualties or suspicious persons.

Wei Yuan was the leader responsible for the security of the sacrifice. He strode up to the high platform along the winding water corridor and bowed:

"Wei Chen neglected his duties, and Wei Chen deserves to die."

At this time, Emperor Yuan Jing had regained his composure, but after experiencing this incident, his indifferent fairy spirit had completely disappeared from his eyebrows.

He is no longer a Taoist who has been practicing Taoism for more than 20 years, but a majestic and unfathomable emperor who holds power.

Emperor Yuan Jing said in a deep voice: "Everyone exits the altar and is not allowed to approach."

Including Wei Yuan, all the high-ranking warriors stood up and accepted the promise.

Emperor Yuan Jing straightened his clothes, brushed off the dust on his uniform, opened the temple door with a serious expression and entered.

.....

Next to the willow tree, Xu Qi'an, who had roared loudly, never heard the strange cry for help again. As time passed, his spirit stabilized. There was still post-traumatic pain in his head, but it was no longer as unbearable as before.

Only then did he have the energy to observe the situation around him.

The colleagues around him had already left, protecting the civil and military officials and royal family members on the shore.

There was no one on the high platform, but the winding corridor was filled with high-level warriors, led by Wei Yuan.

Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty is missing.

What surprised Xu Qian the most was that the beams on the roof of the temple where the legendary sword was enshrined were broken, leaving a large hole.

Something went wrong with the ancestor worship, and Sangbo's secret reappeared?

Thoughts flashed through Xu Qian's mind quickly. While holding down his painful head, he gathered the troops.

Because of his status as a watchman, he was not stopped.

"What's the matter with you?" Song Tingfeng looked at his new colleague: "How is your physical condition?"

Song Tingfeng did not connect the abnormality of Sangbo Lake with Xu Qi'an's previous abnormalities.

It's like you wouldn't associate a weakling's roar with a magnitude 10 earthquake.

"I have been practicing too hard these days, and I have suffered backlash." Xu Qian found a reasonable explanation, and then said: "Fortunately, I have calmed down. By the way, what happened just now?"

"I don't know." Song Tingfeng shook his head, glanced around, put on a defensive posture, and whispered:

"The Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen suddenly exploded. A sword energy rushed out of the temple, causing the whole Sangbo to boil, like an earthquake. But looking at the current situation, it doesn't seem to be an assassin."

Xu Qi'an looked at the high platform again. Was the hole on the top of the temple penetrated by sword energy? With the power of the divine sword, the person who asked me for help just now was definitely not a sword spirit or something like that.

He lowered his eyes for a moment, gathered all his emotions and settled all his thoughts, then hurried to the eldest princess, cupped his fists and said:

"Is the eldest princess okay?"

The scene has returned to order. Although there are whispers in various places, it is generally quiet, and everyone is waiting for Emperor Yuan Jing to come out.

Xu Qi'an's voice attracted everyone around her to look over, including fellow watchmen, the imperial army, eunuchs, the eldest princess, and the royal family members around her.

The eldest princess's eyebrows were bright and beautiful, but her expression was as bright and cold as frost and snow. She tilted her head, Xu Qi'an's figure was reflected in her autumn eyes, and her voice was as crisp as the collision of jade:

"It's okay!"

Xu Qi'an felt relieved: "I feel relieved because of my humble position."

He stopped as soon as he felt good. After getting a sense of his presence, he immediately retreated and carefully guarded his surroundings.

"Huaiqing, this little Tongluo admires you very much." A soft voice sounded, it was the second princess behind the eldest princess.

Huaiqing is the title of the eldest princess, but she prefers outsiders to call her the eldest princess.

Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty once commented that this eldest daughter was as competitive as any man and as domineering as me.

The second princess is extremely beautiful, with a round face dotted with a pair of bright peach blossom eyes and bright red lips. She always reveals her passionate charm with every frown and smile.

She and the eldest princess are two completely opposite beauties. The relationship between the sisters has always been bad.

The eldest princess said calmly: "Admiration is not a big deal, it's just gratitude."

Xu Qi'an's foreshadowing in Si Tianjian and his previous gestures successfully established the image of "repaying kindness" in the heart of the eldest princess.

The second princess covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister Huaiqing's charm is well known to everyone in the capital. The students at Yunlu Academy are fascinated by you. Even scholars are like this, let alone a watcher."

The other princes and princesses happily watched the fun and did not comment on the second princess's words.

"Lin'an!"

The Prince of the East Palace frowned and reprimanded: "Be quiet."

Lin'an is the title of the second princess. Faced with her brother's scolding, she curled her lips and stood with her head down, showing a dignified and elegant manner.

Everyone in the royal family knew that the eldest princess and the second princess were not getting along.

The eldest princess is the daughter of the empress, and the second princess is the daughter of Concubine Chen. There is still a difference in status. However, the concubine is more favored than the empress.

When she was young, the second princess liked to provoke the eldest princess and looked for trouble everywhere.

It was an ordinary Tian family intrigue. However, the eldest princess turned out to be domineering and maverick. She asked her attendants to capture the second princess. However, the attendants did not dare, so they took matters into their own hands, carrying a roll of bamboo slips and chasing after the second princess.

The princess fights.

Hit from south to north, hit from north to south.

The maids and guards in the palace did not dare to stop him, and finally disturbed Emperor Yuan Jing, who was cultivating immortality.

Concubine Chen brought her daughter with a bruised nose and face to accuse the eldest princess. Emperor Yuan Jing planned to punish the eldest princess severely and asked her to go to the imperial study.

The eldest princess had already made preparations. She took more than a dozen sets of books such as "Book of Rites", "Tongdian", and "Gong Lv" to the imperial study room and laid them out one by one, quoting classic sentences and making emotional speeches.

In the end, the case was won, and Emperor Yuan Jing was so depressed that he acquitted the princess and went back to practice immortality.

After becoming an adult, the eldest princess became much more reserved.

....

Yongzhen Shanhe Temple.

A majestic man wearing a yellow robe and a crown stood with a sword in his hand. The temple door was closed. Emperor Yuan Jing stood in front of the founding emperor's portrait, silently staring at the dusty copper sword.

"So what if you are the first grade? You were supposed to have a long life, but haven't you been burdened by the fate of the world and lived a few more years than ordinary people?" Emperor Yuan Jing seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to this person.

Talking to our ancestors from six hundred years ago:

"I ascended the throne at the age of twenty and defeated all my enemies. Sitting in that position, no one could stand shoulder to shoulder with me. But in the end, I discovered that the biggest enemy is time."

Emperor Yuan Jing slowly looked away and stared down at the ground at his feet for a long time. Then he began to inspect the furnishings in the temple, and even climbed up to the altar, disrespectfully touching the dharma images of his ancestors and touching the brass sword.

This process was meticulous and long, and in the end, Emperor Yuan Jing breathed out a sigh of relief.

His expression became relaxed, he knelt on the futon, bowed three times and kowtowed to the founding emperor, and then left Yongzhen Shanhe Temple.

Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty stood on the high platform, overlooking the civil and military officials and the royal family members, and his voice was like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning: "The ancestor worship ceremony continues."

He did not explain the reason for the abnormality just now.

The five guards of the Forbidden Army and the watchmen dispersed again, restored order in an orderly manner, and patrolled the surrounding area.

Lines of eunuchs walked quickly with their heads down, cleaning the broken tiles on the high platform, sorting the tributes, offerings, and tablets of the royal family's ancestors.

Xu Qi'an returned to his guard position, muttering to himself, it's very strange. Logically speaking, if you encounter something like this when worshiping your ancestors, it's a big breast... Bah, it's a sign of great evil. Emperor Yuan Jing should be furious.

But he seemed to be mentally prepared for this, and did not angrily rebuke Duke Wei and the commanders of the imperial guards... Well, it was not necessarily psychological preparation, but knowing the true source of the change.

Then again, this is something that cannot be discussed in public.

Sangbo Lake indeed hides unknown secrets.
