so affectionate(1/2)
"Even if this operation really fails to succeed, it doesn't matter. You don't have to feel sad. You can live a happy life for your grandmother. You are still young. Beiyan's great country is in your hands. There are still national traitors who have not been eliminated and the country has not yet been eliminated.
Steady, these heavy burdens have fallen on your shoulders. Grandma believes that with the wisdom of the three of you, we will be able to bring a new situation to our Beiyan."
She let go of Jin Ru's hand, leaned on her crutches and looked up at the Salo tree, and continued:
"Now, my body is too weak to mount a horse or draw a bow, but I can give you a flag and shout. When you live to my age, look back, even if it is just once in this life, even if you only do
Such an earth-shattering thing, then your life in this world has not been in vain! Now, the Yun family is a test given by God. In the future, whether it is dealing with the Yun family or other matters, the three of you must support each other.
, you are not allowed to fight with roommates, you know? Otherwise, grandma, I will not be able to rest in peace even if I am under the Nine Springs."
Xia Houlie and Zhaohe looked at each other and nodded with tears in their eyes: "My grandson has remembered it!"
Although Mu Qingwan knew that this kind of surgery was just a minor surgery in modern times, in ancient times with such backward medical conditions, it was an unheard-of method. It was inevitable that they would be worried. Seeing the sad looks of their grandparents, she couldn't help but feel sad.
.
Su Hanzhi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, walked to Mu Qingwan and Xia Houlie with a cane, stopped, and placed Long Pei and Feng Pei in their hands respectively:
"Today, my grandmother and Showa will be my witnesses. You will wear these dragon and phoenix pendants for each other. Grandma wishes you the music of the harp and the sound of the harp, and the White Prime Minister will be with you."
Mu Qingwan felt a sudden change in her heart and wanted to refuse, but when she saw the old man's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear it. While she was hesitating, Xia Houlie had already put the phoenix around her neck, and the cold jade stimulated her.
The skin also stimulated her heart, making her feel like her whole body was bound by a cold net, so tight that she couldn't breathe.
Is her life stuck just because of this jade pendant?
"Girl?" Seeing her delay in making any move, Su Hanzhi reminded her gently, and then Mu Qingwan realized that she was staring blankly at Feng Pei on her chest.
Forget it, let’s appease the old man’s heart first. How can a living person like her be trapped by such a lifeless thing? We’ll figure out a way then.
She obediently stepped forward to put on the dragon pendant for Xia Houlie. She felt that all this was extremely ridiculous. She looked up at Xia Houlie. The coldness on his face seemed to have melted away, leaving only tenderness. She smiled sarcastically. This man was calm and composed.
, his acting skills are as good as an Oscar winner!
Su Hanzhi watched the two of them put on the dragon and phoenix pendants with satisfaction, and then said with relief:
"Seeing that Zhaolan was able to put aside the past and find true love again, my grandmother can finally feel relieved."
He held Zhaohe's hand and said, "And you, it'll be great if you come back. You and Zhaolan are the ones I can't worry about the most in this world. Now that I see you have returned, Zhaolan's feelings have also found their destination.
Those are my two biggest wishes.”
Zhaohe smiled like a child, but his heart was bitter. He understood the intention of the emperor's grandmother's move. Making the emperor brother and Qingwan commit to each other for life in front of him was to make him completely give up. He saw that
He glanced at Mu Qingwan, who was hanging his head next to him, and the emperor's brother, who had a cold face but unusually gentle eyes...
That's all, as long as she can be happy, it doesn't matter if he is alone.
"Also, Zhaolan, although you have been holding back, my grandmother knows that you have always been worried about your father sending you to Western Chu as a hostage."
Seeing Xia Houlie's cold expression, she sighed, patted his shoulder and said:
"Grandma is not trying to defend your father today. In the future, when you have experienced more things, you will be able to understand his painstaking efforts."
As he spoke, he seemed to recall infinite past events. He stared blankly at the Salo tree in front of him for a long time before waving his hand:
"Okay, Zhaohe, you and Jin Ru should go down first. I have something else to talk to your brother and sister-in-law."
After the two of them retreated, Su Hanzhi led Xia Houlie and Mu Qingwan into the Buddhist chamber. What they saw was a golden statue of Tathagata, with a majestic appearance and a majestic appearance.
Su Hanzhi pointed to the shrine in front of the Buddha statue with her crutch, and signaled Xia Houlie to move it. When he moved it, he didn't expect that there was a stone cave inside that could accommodate one person.
The two of them looked at Su Hanzhi in astonishment. The latter walked in first with a cane. Xia Houlie and Mu Qingwan looked at each other and followed immediately.
Inside is a dry tunnel, the surroundings are polished very smooth, and the stone walls are illuminated by luminous pearls as big as the mouth of a bowl, which illuminate the dark cave as if it were daytime.
After walking for about a cup of tea, I saw a faint light not far away.
When I walked out and took a look, I suddenly saw a piece of flat and vast land in front of me, with neat rows of houses, fertile fields not far away, beautiful ponds, green mulberry and bamboos, and criss-crossing paths in the fields.
It is connected in all directions, and the sounds of cocks and dogs can be heard everywhere in the villages. Young laborers are coming and going in the fields, farming and working. The faces of the elderly and children all have leisurely and happy smiles.
The three of them took a deep breath, and the unique fragrance of the fields immediately made people feel relaxed and happy.
The initial surprise on Xia Houlie's face had passed, and now only curiosity remained.
"Royal Grandma, this is..." Since he ascended to the throne of God, he has been to this palace several times, but he never knew that there was such a mysterious place in the Buddhist temple.
Su Hanzhi's face was rosy and she looked energetic. She motioned for the two of them to come forward, supported them one on the left and one on the right as they walked forward and replied:
"This is the secret body organization created by our founding Emperor Taizu of Beiyan when he was still alive - Longyingwei. He used to be in charge of secret military intelligence, and used to kill people to seize power. It is the same as the Longxiaowei you have in your hands now.
There is a secret killer in the dark. In the court, if there is something inconvenient for Long Xiaowei to come forward, Long Shadow Guard will take action.
As the imperial court gradually stabilized and the secret guards grew older, Emperor Taizu gathered them here, gave them fertile land, and allowed them to marry and have children in this isolated place. The identity of the Long Shadow Guards was passed down from generation to generation.
During the off-season, all the Dragon Shadow Guards gather together for training, and during the busy season, every household starts farming.
Up to now, it has developed into an army of great scale and combat effectiveness. Although the number is only three thousand, each one of them can be equal to ten or even a hundred. The combined combat effectiveness is no less than that of the millions of cavalry in your hand. But this is
This army is not well known, only the emperors and queens of Northern Yan are qualified to know, so I just sent away Zhaohe.
Since your grandfather passed away, I have only told your father. Even Yuan'er and Yun Chuyi don't know that I will have an operation the day after tomorrow. Life or death depends on fate. Today I will give this
Let me tell you two in secret, if there is a conflict with the Yun family, there will be no backup army..."
Hearing this, Xia Houlie's expression changed. He never expected that there would be such a tiger and wolf army hidden in such a paradise-like place.
And Mu Qingwan was also amazed in her heart. She remembered that when she watched "Kangxi Dynasty" before, she admired the Queen Mother Xiaozhuang very much. They said she had thousands of troops in her sleeves, and now the grandma in front of her was no less impressive. No wonder
It is easy to say that every woman in the harem is simple, let alone sitting in the position of the Empress Dowager, how can she be an ordinary woman?
Su Hanzhi continued:
"However... this army is born with arrogance. It cannot be mobilized by military talismans and orders. They only obey the strong. So Zhaolan, you have to use your own strength to make them willing to accept you as their master. Do you understand?
?”
A bright light flashed in Xia Houlie's eyes, and Mu Qingwan knew that it was a man's natural desire to conquer and be competitive.
While they were talking, the three of them could gradually see a large school ground. Before they got closer, they could hear the sound of majestic drills coming from there, the instructors' orders, the soldiers' roars, and Mu Qingwan's previous life.
The training of special forces seen is similar.
The three of them walked closer and practiced quietly for a while. After all the movements were completed, the coach came over. He was a dark-skinned, muscular middle-aged man. He knelt down when he saw Su Hanzhi fall to the ground.
Next:
"Dragon Shadow Guardsman Wei Wu is here to meet his master."
Su Hanzhi nodded lightly, "Wei Sizheng, please get up quickly. How are you guys training recently?"
Wei Wu smiled innocently on his dark face, "These brats just practice those old tricks every day. It's a blessing if they don't throw away the things belonging to their ancestors."
Su Hanzhi nodded with a smile, "Back then, the Dragon Shadow Guards dominated all countries. To be able to maintain such combat effectiveness, it seems that you, Wei Wu, played a major role."
He pointed at Xia Houlie and Mu Qingwan and said, "This is the current emperor and queen. I will bring them to see you today."
When Wei Wu heard this, he immediately became solemn and bowed his hands to the two of them. Although he was respectful, he was neither humble nor overbearing.
According to the rules of the Long Shadow Guard, as long as a new emperor is brought in, it will be the time to change ownership.
The school ground where they were practicing not far away had quieted down for some time. Mu Qingwan looked over and saw that there were thousands of people standing densely on the school ground. Those from a distance could not be seen clearly, but the expressions of the nearest row of dragon shadow guards were clearly visible. They looked at
Xiang Xiahoulie's eyes were full of doubt and disdain.
She subconsciously looked at Xia Houlie. With this man's proud temper, how could he allow others to look at him like this?
Sure enough, Xia Hou stood tall and proud, and the fierce aura exuded from his whole body made people shudder.
To subdue these Dragon Shadow Guards who have higher eyes than others and higher skills than others, what is needed is not the power and majesty of the emperor, but real strength.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Xia Houlie just walked slowly towards the school ground. Mu Qingwan was shocked, was he... going to compete with them?
Xia Houlie looked cold, walked to the middle of the school ground with his hands behind his back, and waved his right hand lightly:
"Choose the top twenty among you and let them go together."
This short sentence, with a cold and domineering voice, instantly condensed the atmosphere in the school. All the Dragon Shadow Guards were livid. Although they live in seclusion here, it does not mean that they really have no information. According to their
With their abilities, all of them can become the top killers in the world. When do two people need to join forces to deal with one person? And what did the young emperor just say? He wants the top twenty among them to come together?!
This is absolutely an insult! An insult that no bloody man can bear!
Soon twenty people stood out from the crowd and surrounded Xia Houlie. Looking at the livid Long Shadow Guards surrounding Xia Houlie, Mu Qingwan's heart beat like a drum for a moment, and flashbacks to Chu Chu this morning flashed in her mind.
When Yun Xiu said this, he could not help but shout softly:
"Xia Houlie..."
The man who was standing with his back to her heard her voice and instantly turned around. When he caught her worried gaze, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
After knowing him for more than a month, he rarely smiled. Even when he did smile, it was a sneer. This was the first time Mu Qingwan saw such a real smile. The smile shone brightly in the sun and reflected in her pupils.
, she actually forgot what to say for a moment.
"If you want to fight, then fight, why are you waiting so long?" Seeing Xia Houlie keeping looking at Mu Qingwan and making no move, the young man couldn't hold back his anger.
Xia Houlie didn't even look at him, he still just looked at Mu Qingwan, his voice was still cold, but with a hint of warmth inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Mu Qingwan was a little stunned for a moment, but out of the guilt in her heart and her instinct as a doctor, she still said: "Your stomach..."
She didn't say anything further, because she knew that the powerful man would never like to hear her say that he had stomach problems on such an occasion.
To be continued...
