The young prince naturally knew that the prince didn't really care about him. He even knew that the prince wished that he would die on the woman's belly. But they were brothers after all. Even if they were enemies, they were still in agreement outwardly.
The two of them walked to the backyard of the palace together. This is the royal garden, with rich and lush Hualin trees. These trees are tall and thick, and their dense branches and leaves cover the royal family, as if they are an invisible net.
Three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, the sun shines down and draws speckled afterimages on the ground.
Naturally, this place is no longer in Linhai City. Behind the young emperor and the prince, there are several imperial masters, walking along the boulevard to the back garden.
A small arched door, very narrow, can probably accommodate two people walking through it at the same time. It seems very simple here, and there are no people holding hands. It is very quiet, but there are many flowers and plants around it. If Qing Shui is here, it will definitely You will find a lot of medicinal herbs among them.
The faces of the young emperor and the prince who came here were already serious, and they raised their hands to signal the people behind them to stop outside the small arched door.
"The great-grandson asks to see the ancestor!" The prince and the young emperor bent towards the small door and said, their voices not very loud.
No one answered, but the two of them just kept bending and waiting, without any doubt or impatience. After about half a cup of tea, an old voice came from inside: "Come in!"
"Yes!" The prince and the young prince responded and walked into the small door.
After walking into the small door, you can find that the place inside is very big. There are all kinds of flowers and plants here, but the only thing is that there are no trees. But think about it, if there are too many trees, it will be bad for the flowers and plants to grow if they are blocked.
This is like a medicinal garden. The air is full of medicinal fragrance. There are several winding paths among these flowers and plants. The paths are about four feet wide. Many small flowers have bloomed on many herbs and flowers, and there are some bees and butterflies. Flying around on it.
There is a quiet feeling here. Standing here, people can forget about killing, forget about shame, forget about unhappiness and even forget about glory and wealth.
There is a kind of loneliness in this small courtyard, far away from the noisy city, as if the whole world is alone, as if the world is still.
On a recliner in the distance, an old man was lying on it. The recliner swayed slightly, and the amplitude was very small. The old man bathed in the sun looked so peaceful.
The prince and the young prince stopped when they were about ten meters away from the old man, and then knelt down and worshiped.
At this time, the old man slowly opened his eyes. They were a pair of extremely peaceful eyes, as calm as a pool of stagnant water in the vicissitudes of life. It seemed that there was nothing in this world that could interest him even a little bit.
His face was covered with deep wrinkles. He was wearing a plain white robe, and his exposed hands were skinny, with only bones and skin.
"Get up!"
The old man's voice is very lively. If you just look at the person, you will definitely feel that this is an old man who has entered the grave. But listening to the voice, it seems that this old man is not very old.
This is the ancestor of the royal family. I don’t know how many ancestors there are in the royal family, but this ancestor is the one that the prince and the young prince can come into contact with. He is their great-grandfather and their biggest barrier. This ancestor also provides They said, don't come to him if it's not about the demise of the dynasty.
Although the dynasty has not yet perished this time, it is coming soon, so the two came, and the ancestor gave them five Great Confucian Tokens each. Each time they came, they needed one Great Confucian Token. If they ran out, they would not use it. coming.
The prince and the little prince have ten coins in total. This is the fourth time they have come.
With the Great Confucian Order, the Immortal Protector of the Country can be dispatched to help them complete some matters that they cannot solve but are related to the Great Confucian Dynasty.
"Hey, tell me, what's the matter?" The old man didn't stand up, sighed slightly, and said directly.
"Ancestor, someone wants to cure the Barbarian King, and it should be possible..."
The prince explained the situation. He knew that although his ancestor was not concerned with worldly affairs, he was well aware of everything going on around him. He just talked about the important things. He knew that his ancestor was free to make his own decisions.
"Two boys, since you are here, I will naturally handle the matter for you, but I will say some things again."
"The foundation of a dynasty is very important, but the establishment of a dynasty is inseparable from the person who controls it. The weak will eat the strong, and natural selection will take place. If you cannot stand up on your own, the dynasty will change and change owners without you knowing it. Great Confucian Although the order is good, you must know that these things are ultimately unreliable. The older generation will always withdraw. I am already in my twilight years and they are almost there. The purpose of giving you the Great Confucian Order is to help you better control the dynasty. , to ensure that you stand up."
"Yes, ancestor!"
"Okay, you go back, I understand." The old man waved his hand and closed his eyes, never to look at the prince and the young emperor again.
The prince and the young prince bowed and retreated, with happy smiles on their faces until they exited. They knew that the matter was done, and there was nothing in their hearts that their ancestors could not do.
There are now two more old people beside the old man in the small courtyard.
The two old men were equally old and hunched, like a monkey, with thin bones and an inconspicuous-looking cane. Both old men looked like this.
"master!"
This is the name of the two old people.
"Dragon and Earth Tiger, you said that there is someone who can cure the Barbarian King, and he is still a young man. Do you want to get rid of this young man?" At this time, the old man had already sat up, and his body was very straight. Like a javelin, it has no momentum, but it gives people a very special feeling.
"Master, I have heard about this young man. We don't know if there is a powerful force behind him, but I feel that this young man is very mysterious. I even have a feeling that we can't kill him." The old man on the left slowly said said.
This old man is Tianlong, and he has a magical ability, which is perception, which is similar to a premonition and is extremely accurate. It has allowed him and the people around him to escape disaster many times, so the old man will usually consult the old man first when something happens. Views.
The old man was silent, and then said after a while: "We have reached the point where the oil has run out. Although the Great Confucian Dynasty has not flourished in my hands, it is still strong. Now the Great Confucian Dynasty seems to have a wider area and seems to be stronger, but But there are many hidden dangers and loopholes, Tianlong, tell me how long the Great Confucian Dynasty can survive, or how long my Xia family can control the Great Confucian Dynasty."
The old man hesitated and said slowly: "Ten years, ten years at most."
"Ten years, ten years, isn't this the time when we die, haha." The old man didn't seem sad, and even laughed.
"Tianlong, do you think there is any hope for anyone in our Xia family to be in charge of the dynasty?"
