Hong Beimo looked at the Lingxiao Palace ahead, and the thrilling battle suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. With the help of three masters, including himself, Li Yuncong, and Murong Zhan, Ji Feihua was defeated with great difficulty, and the three of them also paid a heavy price.
The price was that he lost five years of his life because of using the blood-transforming Prajna Kung Fu. Li Yuncong also lost his right eye in this duel. Murong Zhan was seriously injured. In fact, the three of them have not fully recovered until now. What really makes Hong
Beimo is not worried about these, but...
His eyes unconsciously turned to the Yaochi at his feet. Ji Feihua jumped down from the waterfall on the day he was defeated. In the past month, he mobilized all the power in the palace to search the entire Yaochi and Piaomiao Mountain, but still found nothing.
Ji Feihua was alive but not dead or dead. Hong Beimo had an ominous premonition deep in his heart that Ji Feihua was not dead!
Long Xuanen's old voice sounded in his ears: "Do you think he will still be alive?"
Hong Beimo asked knowingly: "Who is your Majesty talking about?"
Long Xuanen glanced at Hong Beimo, sighed and said: "You don't have to hide it from me. In fact, I can guess that the search for Yaochi has not stopped for more than a month. It seems that Ji Feihua has not been found yet.
corpse."
Hong Beimo said: "Your Majesty, Mingjian, it is true that we have not found it yet, but please rest assured, your Majesty, Ji Feihua is probably dead."
Long Xuanen sighed. He could hear that there were too many uncertain factors in Hong Beimo's tone.
Hong Beimo did not want to continue on this topic, and his eyes fell on the collapsed Lingxiao Palace: "When does Your Majesty plan to rebuild it?"
Long Xuanen shook his head and said: "Never rebuild!" Lingxiao Palace is the highest palace in the imperial city. Standing on it, you can overlook the entire palace. I remember that when Lingxiao Palace was just built, he once stood there.
Here, there is a feeling that all living beings are at my feet, but since being under house arrest in Lingxiao Palace, what has been left to him here is the most painful experience and memory in his life, and he does not want to recall what happened here.
Hong Beimo said: "That's fine."
Long Xuanen said: "You have already started to rebuild the Tianji Bureau?"
Hong Beimo said: "The Tianji Bureau has always existed, it has just been silent for a while."
Long Xuan'en said: "Mr. Hong is a scholar of heaven and man. Do you know if there is really a way to live forever in this world?"
Hong Beimo said: "I have heard countless people mention the art of immortality, but I have never seen anyone achieve immortality."
When Long Xuanen heard what he said, a look of despair appeared on his face. He sighed softly and said, "I also understand that in fact, there is no such thing as immortality in this world. I don't know how much time I have left in this world."
After a pause, he looked at Hong Beimo and said, "Is Ren Tianqing from Xuantian Pavilion missing?"
Hong Beimo said: "There is no news about him in the past two years."
Long Xuan'en said: "If there is really someone in this world who can find the secret recipe for immortality, that person must be him."
Hong Beimo smiled and said: "It is said that Ren Tianqing can bring the dead back to life, but he couldn't even save his wife back then."
Long Xuan'en said: "If this were not the case, how could he become the world's number one miracle doctor!"
Hong Beimo didn't say anything. He was the best in the world. If a person truly became the best in the world, how lonely would he feel in his heart?
Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan traveled day and night, and finally returned to Kangdu under the stars and moon. They thought that because of this palace change, Kangdu would become turbulent and restless again, but they did not expect that except for the fact that the interrogation at the city gate was stricter than in the past, there was nothing
In a special change, Hu Xiaotian did not dare to return directly to the palace to resume his life. Instead, he came to Baofengtang first.
According to the agreement between him and Xiao Tianmu, Xiao Tianmu had returned to Kangdu before him to make arrangements for his parents in case something unexpected happened.
When Xiao Tianmu heard that Hu Xiaotian was back, he was extremely surprised and led Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan to the inner house.
Hu Xiaotian ignored the need to rest and went straight to the courtyard where Xiao Tianmu lived. He saw Xiao Tianmu sitting under the shade of a tree, with a pot of good tea already brewed on the stone table next to him, waiting for Hu Xiaotian to come over. Listen.
Hearing Hu Xiaotian's footsteps, a knowing smile appeared on Xiao Tianmu's lips: "The third brother is back!"
Hu Xiaotian walked up quickly, held his arm and said, "Second brother! I'm back!"
Xiao Tianmu held his hand and shook it, saying: "I hope you come back safely! Hurry! Have a cup of tea first!" He fumbled with the teapot to pour tea for Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian picked up the teapot first. He filled the teacup for him first, and then poured a cup himself. He drank it in one breath, feeling the fragrance of the tea penetrated into his lungs, and felt comfortable all over. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's still from my hometown.
The tea is delicious.”
Xiao Tianmu smiled and said: "The water is sweet from my hometown, and Dayong is not without good tea. If you can't taste the same tea there, it's just because of the nostalgia in your heart!"
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "Second brother always contains so much truth in his words. Being by your side has given me a lot of experience."
Xiao Tianmu smiled and said, "You must think I'm nagging you."
"How dare you!" The two brothers laughed at the same time.
Hu Xiaotian drank another cup of tea, and then he felt the thirst in his throat subsided, and whispered: "Second brother, what's the situation at the palace?" In fact, he also heard a lot of news along the way, but after all, these news
Unable to confirm.
Xiao Tianmu briefly explained the situation he had learned.
After hearing this, Hu Xiaotian frowned and whispered: "Are you saying that the old emperor came back to power and is still following everything before and has not made any changes?"
Xiao Tianmu nodded and said: "That's right! Except for Ji Feihua, Queen Jian and the prince were killed, this incident did not affect too many other people."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The old emperor has always been cruel and cold-blooded. Why did he suddenly change his gender this time? He actually let go of these ministers who betrayed him in the past?"
Xiao Tianmu said: "Perhaps after experiencing this twists and turns, he finally understood some things and recognized the current reality. Maintaining the status quo is the most feasible strategy at the moment. If he goes on a killing spree, I am afraid that his dynasty will soon be destroyed.
Facing the danger of overthrow, it proves that he is not an old fool and is not so stupid that he wants to completely ruin the ancestral family business."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "How is my father now?" In his opinion, when the old emperor came to power, his father should be the first to be rehabilitated. After all, his father was once Long Xuanen's favorite minister.
Xiao Tianmu said: "I still live in Shuijing'er Hutong. Mrs. Hu is not in Kangdu. I heard that she went to her natal family in Jinling." He obviously understood what Hu Xiaotian meant when he asked about his family, and whispered: "At present, the court has not made any personnel arrangements.
All the officials were able to retain their posts due to the changes made in the past, and the old emperor also spread the word. He would forget about anything that happened before, and even the two senior officials Wen Chenghuan and Zhou Ruiyuan were not affected in any way."
Hu Xiaotian clicked his tongue in surprise, picked up the tea cup and took another sip: "It seems that the old emperor has really changed his temper after this setback."
Xiao Tianmu said: "Princess Anping is his biological daughter!" He was obviously reminding Hu Xiaotian that Long Yelin might not care about the death of Princess Anping, but Long Xuanen was different. Long Xiyue was his biological daughter.
My daughter may be furious because of this incident, and it may not be known who Hu Xiaotian will be held responsible for.
This is not what Hu Xiaotian is worried about. There is little emotion in the royal family, and even father and daughter do not have any real feelings. He once accompanied Long Xiyue to visit the old emperor Long Xuanen at Lingxiao Palace in Piaomiao Mountain on New Year's Eve last year.
At that time, Long Xuanen strangled Long Xiyue's throat ferociously and almost killed his own daughter. When Hu Xiaotian heard the noise, he rushed into Lingxiao Palace and pushed Long Xuanen. I wonder if the old emperor is still there.
Do you remember that incident, and do you remember what you look like? But at that time, you never thought that the old emperor in his dying years would still be restored to power. But he was not afraid, because he still had the card of Li Yuncong? At least.
Li Yuncong could prove that he had also contributed to the old emperor.
Xiao Tianmu said: "What are you going to do? When will you return to the palace?"
Hu Xiaotian did not answer his question, but whispered: "Has Wu Jingshan, the Minister of Rites, returned?"
Xiao Tianmu said: "He has not returned to Kangdu yet. He is still waiting for news from you in Tianbo City. He is probably not sure about the old emperor's attitude, so he delayed his trip deliberately. Firstly, he is waiting for news from you. Secondly,
To wait and see how things develop.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "We will see you sooner or later, but this time my trip to Dayong is not considered a fault even if it does not make a great contribution. Moreover, I brought good news when I came back from Dayong."
Xiao Tianmu smiled and said: "What good news?"
Only then did Hu Xiaotian tell the news that Xue Shengkang gave Dongliang County to Dakang as compensation.
Xiao Tianmu frowned after hearing this and said: "It sounds like a good thing, but in fact it is throwing a hot potato to Dakang. If Dakang wanted to garrison Dongliang County after taking over, he would probably send as many troops as possible.
It’s like a sheep among wolves.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "No matter what his purpose was, he finally helped Dakang gain face. I have this city in my hand so I can explain it to the court."
Xiao Tianmu said: "Although the old emperor has regained the power of Dakang, I heard that he rarely interferes in the government affairs now, and the person who governs for him is King Yongyang!"
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but be startled when he heard about King Yongyang. He had stayed in the palace for a long time and had a lot of contact with princes and princesses. He knew everyone who was famous and famous, but this King Yongyang
But he had never heard of it. Could it be that he was the illegitimate son of the old emperor? He scratched his head and said, "King Yongyang, why haven't I heard of him?"
Xiao Tianmu said: "This King Yongyang can be called the most special prince since the founding of Dakang."
Hu Xiaotian said: "What's so special about it?"
Xiao Tianmu lowered his voice and said: "This King Yongyang is a woman!" (To be continued)
