Chapter 83 Homecoming(1/2)
That slap came very quickly.
No one reacted, and even those who did react pretended not to.
He watched indifferently as the man rushing down the jade steps slapped his sister with blood-red eyes.
Then he watched helplessly...the girl just took a step back.
The next moment, the man in the black dragon robe waved his rounded arms and stumbled forward.
Why?
The originally indifferent palace people around him opened their eyes wide at this moment.
Watching the scene develop in a direction they didn't expect in an instant.
Ying Baoyue stood in her original position.
But the originally menacing man was panting and his steps were sloppy. He used too much force and was dodged away. He lost his balance and actually fell forward!
"His Majesty!"
The surrounding palace people and officials screamed.
Now, those who pretended to be dead, those who sympathized but did not dare to move, all reacted.
Guichang took the lead, and the eunuch who was familiar to Ying Baoyue reacted the fastest with his hands and feet. He quickly stepped forward and supported the man in the dragon robe.
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The people around him cheered and knelt down in an instant. In the chaos of war, Ying Baoyue stood up straight and stared quietly at the young man surrounded by Guichang and the eunuchs.
That's right, boy.
Although he was already old enough to get married and have children in this era, Ying Baoyue clearly remembered his age.
The last time I saw him in my memory, he was hiding behind his mother-in-law and glaring fiercely at her children.
At this time, he can be called a boy, or even regarded as a man.
But compared to the position he holds, he is still young.
He is the youngest king of the six kingdoms within the Great Wall.
According to the calculation of the year she left, he should be seventeen years old this year, a little more than two years older than her current body.
Looking at the aggressive young man in front of him, Ying Baoyue knew who he was even if he didn't state his name.
Looking at the face wrapped in the black dragon robe that should be unfamiliar to her but was familiar to her for some reason, Ying Baoyue's heart suddenly surged with murderous intent. Her hand instinctively touched her waist, but nothing came up.
Just woke up.
The next moment, she bit the tip of her tongue and suppressed the impulse engraved in her bones with willpower.
He is not him.
Looking at the face that looked exactly like that person, Ying Baoyue said to her soul over and over in her heart before she could barely control the impulse.
He is not Ying Hao.
Ying Baoyue's nails dug into her palms, and she looked at the face in front of her that was almost exactly the same but more childish than she remembered with a complicated expression.
He and his father look so much alike.
Although she had known it for a long time from the memory of the little princess, the moment she saw that face, her murderous intention passed faster than her memory.
However, the person standing in front of her was no longer the second emperor with whom she had a deep bond, but his son, her current brother.
The last emperor of the Qin Empire and now the former King of Qin, Ying Hanri.
"You...you..."
However, compared to his reputation, the young man in front of him was nothing like that. With the help of his favored minister, the inner prisoner, Ying Hanri could barely stand still and pointed at Ying Baoyue, who was shaking with anger.
Looking at her young brother with deep dark circles under his eyes, Ying Baoyue glanced at him quietly. After confirming that he could control his murderous intention, he kept a safe distance from him and said quietly to him.
present.
"Brother Emperor, I'm back."
"You...you..." It seems that the slap in the face was a big blow to the boy. It took Ying Han you a long time to stand upright with a cough, and waved his hand violently to show off the dragon's power as much as possible, to Ying Han.
Baoyue shouted sharply.
"How dare you hide!"
Is this the first thing to focus on?
Ying Baoyue maintained her salute and frowned slightly. The young former King of Qin saw her for the first time. What he cared about was not state affairs or marriage, but his empty slap?
"After so many years, I didn't expect that Ying Hanri still hasn't made any progress."
Looking at the brother and sister in the strange atmosphere in front of the main hall, a young man's voice rang out from a tree in front of a slightly dilapidated palace in the distance.
Zhao Guang looked at the furious Ying Hanri, with a mocking smile on his face.
"As expected of Ying Hao's son."
"The second emperor has the throne, at least don't call him by his first name," a man's quiet voice came from beside him, and Li Ji's dark eyes under the bronze mask glanced at him, "At least in the former Qin realm, at least you can't."
"Although that person has disappeared, it is said that he is still in the former Qin Dynasty."
Zhao Guang choked and touched his chest with lingering fear.
Although he seemed to be looked down upon, Zhao Guang understood in his heart what his brother was worried about.
Of course, they are not worried about the ancestors of the Ying family. Although they have sneaked into the former Qin palace quietly, Zhao Guang knows very well that his brother is not jealous of the second emperor.
That being who doesn't even call his brother by his first name is not a human being.
It was Teng Snake, one of the eight beast gods who formed a contract with the Qin royal family.
The eight beast gods have been guarding the sleeping areas since ancient times. After Emperor Ying ended the feudal feudal lords, except for the one who rebelled against Xirong, the other seven beast gods returned to their respective regions to protect the major vassal states.
As a medium, a guardianship contract was formed with the local feudal family.
As the beast god with the deepest connection with Lin Shubai, the great commander, Soaring Snake naturally stayed in the original territory of the Qin Kingdom, which is now the remaining territory of the former Qin Dynasty.
Rumor has it that its power has been protecting the descendants of the Ying family.
This is how it should be.
However……
After Lin Shubai, the great commander, died on the Great Wall, the beast god Teng Snake disappeared. Although the priests of the former Qin Dynasty repeatedly expressed to the Six Nations that Teng Snake God cooperated well with them...
But only ghosts believe it.
No matter how much the Immortal Officials of the former Qin tried to whitewash peace, the best proof was that seven years ago, when the second emperor died and Ying Han succeeded to the throne and offered sacrifices to heaven, no divine revelation appeared.
Back then, when Ying Han was standing on the altar, the former Qin Immortal Official shouted to the sky for a long time. After the ceremony was completed, not even a breath of wind blew on the altar.
Zhao Guang had never seen that scene, but he knew how embarrassing it was.
only……
Zhao Guang squinted his eyes and looked at the pale and weak little emperor in the distance, or the former little emperor.
Although the Soaring Snake God ignored the immortal officials and the royal family of the former Qin Dynasty, it was not completely gone.
Many people who wanted to test this person and committed blasphemous acts later completely disappeared.
The Imperial Master of Soochow confirmed to them that unlike the Green Dragon God who had completely disappeared, the aura of the Soaring Snake God is still in the world.
As for why it no longer sends divine revelations to respond to the requests of the people of the former Qin...
His Imperial Master once spilled the beans to him and his brother when they were drunk. He still remembered that his Divine Son laughed mockingly and muttered.
"Do those immortal officials in the former Qin Dynasty think that all of them are Lin Shubai, the great commander?"
"You can't even expect that level two being to respond to them? Just dream."
Thinking of this, Zhao Guangshen thought so. A beast god who originally dealt with a human god of the same level would pay attention to a mere immortal official of the third level?
Nonsense.
There are no tigers in the mountains, but monkeys are kings.
It just so happens that I don’t have self-awareness yet.
This is the current Qin Dynasty.
Looking at Ying Hanri in the distance who was furious because his sister resisted him, Zhao Guang frowned and suddenly sighed slowly.
There are no tigers in the mountains, but monkeys are kings.
It doesn't just refer to immortal officials.
The sarcastic smile on Zhao Guang's lips faded away. Thinking of that person, he couldn't help but sigh slowly.
"If the eldest prince were alive, how could this country be in such chaos?"
Li Ji, who was looking at the woman, was startled when he heard the words. He moved his fingers slightly, his dark eyes flashed, and he spoke quietly after a moment of silence.
To be continued...
