"Yo He—dear Xi Mei—Queen Empress Jin An!" Zhao Gongming stood under the tower with open arms and exclaimed, "I don't see you in a day, it's like three autumns..."
Hu Ximei shrank behind Su Daji with a look of fear on her face. The two daughters trembled and looked back and forth at the thief ancestor as if they didn't know each other. Zhao Gongming could only cough in embarrassment, and said embarrassingly, "Ximei has grown up."
When the surrounding soldiers saw King Zhou entering the city, they immediately shouted "Long Live", and competed to pay homage. The Marquis of Jizhou respectfully picked up the driver, and the rescue came too late, and he deserved to die. King Zhou just said indifferently, "That's all." Then Marquis Su opened the way to protect the emperor, and the queen and his party entered the Marquis' mansion.
Hu Ximei and Daji whispered: "Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together... two thieves are in one place, two thieves..."
The corner of Haoran's mouth twitched slightly, unable to explain himself. After trekking for many days, I finally found a safe place. Although the mansion of Hou Suhu in Jizhou is clean and simple, everything is complete. Su Hu immediately arranged a banquet to welcome King Zhou to the throne, and waited on him with his hands down.
The emperor just said: "Maybe." Then everyone came to the table, and the dinner was like a family banquet. Su protected the whole family, who is the son-in-law of the emperor, Hu Ximei, Su Daji sat down one after another, and King Zhou said, "Hao Ran also sat down."
According to the etiquette of emperors and ministers, foreign ministers should not sit at the same table with the emperor, but Hao Ran had no choice but to choose a place to sit down. Zhao Gongming came uninvited, and sat down beside Haoran, chatting and laughing happily, ignoring Haoran's bad intentions.
When Haoran raised his eyes to look at Su Daji, he saw that Daji was frequently persuading him to drink, drinking and drinking, with a frown and a smile, she was originally a fox demon, but she took herself in as a daughter of the Su family.
Su Daji noticed that gaze, looked at Haoran, smiled, picked up the bronze cup, Haoran toasted, and drank silently.
"... I heard that the grand master had gone out, so I led the army to Qishan to meet him." King Zhou pondered for a moment, and said: "As for the strength of the troops, I will trouble Marquis Su to make arrangements."
Su Hu agreed repeatedly, and said: "I have 20,000 soldiers in the whole city of Jizhou. I will follow the king to fight against the rebels. I will never complain."
King Zhou said again: "Ten thousand is enough. I came along the road alone. I saw that Jizhou was suffering from famine. There is no conscription this year. We will start tomorrow..."
Hao Ran was surprised: "Go tomorrow?"
King Zhou replied: "You follow Daji, Ximei returns to Chaoge, be careful all the way, Gongming has come to help me under the order of Tongtian leader..."
Hao Ran said: "No, I can't let go."
King Zhou was slightly displeased, and said: "Gu has made arrangements, your old wounds have not healed, you must go back to Chaoge to recuperate."
But Haoran rushed: "Don't underestimate the enemy, behind the Xiqi Army is the entire Kunlun Mountain..."
King Zhou put the wine glass heavily on the table, and said angrily, "Gu is in charge or you are in charge!?"
After a conversation between the monarch and his ministers, Su Hu's family was extremely terrified. What kind of ministers are these? Daji was busy laughing and interrupting the unimportant words, but saw Haoran standing up, turning around and leaving the table without saying a word.
At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the night was already chilly, Hao Ran stood in the garden for a while, frowning, feeling a little drunk, finally felt something wrong, called a servant, and asked him the way back to the room. Go to find the emperor.
The Son of Heaven was half-drunk, with his clothes still on and his boots still on, lying on the couch, while a few maidservants covered their mouths and chuckled, standing in the courtyard and discussing. Haoran knows that the people in this mansion are not like the rules in the palace, so he doesn't punish them, he just asks: "Have you prepared the hangover soup?"
"Drink it." A maid smiled softly. "Your Majesty doesn't want us to serve you."
Only then did Haoran realize that he went to the couch to take off his robe and boots for the emperor. King Zhou was obviously exhausted, and he was at Haoran's mercy, but he just didn't wake up.
Haoran saw that the sword mark on Tianzi's chest was red, even when he was sleeping, he looked heroic, as quiet and peaceful as a half-grown boy. For a moment, tenderness suddenly arose in his heart, and he leaned forward and kissed King Zhou's thick lips, and then pulled the brocade quilt to cover it for the emperor.
"Tomorrow you will return to Chaoge." King Zhou closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Listen to Gu."
Haoran didn't expect that the emperor was lying to sleep, and he forgot all the rebuttals he had planned beforehand, and said embarrassingly: "No..."
King Zhou sighed, opened his eyes slightly, covered Haoran's side face with one hand, scratched Haoran's lips with his fingers, and said: "I want to meet Grand Master Wen and take you with me. It will be inconvenient. Grand Master Wen has a strong temper. ... Wait for Gu to negotiate with him first, so as not to... "
Only then did Haoran realize that King Zhou was afraid that Wen Zhong would be prejudiced against the two of them, so he complied and served King Zhou to sleep, then carefully closed the gauze curtain and left the backyard of the Hou's mansion. In the night, the bright moon was fading and the stars were few and far between. Standing in the garden, Hao Ran vaguely remembered Mr. Tong's xun sound that night.
Thinking of Wen Zhong again, Wen Zhong actually has such a deterrent power, even the emperor who is only 30 years old is afraid of him three points, the historical records record that Wen Zhong died in the battle at Juelong Ridge, so who killed him? It should not be Yuanshi Tianzun himself. Wen Zhong's death triggered the final battle between explaining the teachings and cutting off the teachings. The leader of the Tongtian sect set up a sword formation... Wen Zhong is a disciple of Tongtian, so Mr. Tong...
"Stop teaching..."
Just thinking of this, a voice came from behind the rockery, it was a man and a woman talking in the garden, Hao Ran was puzzled, he tiptoed forward a few steps, and heard it clearly, it was Daji and Zhao Gongming.
Daji said: "Why do I want to make enemies everywhere again? This deep palace is like a tiger cage. Either I eat him, or he eats me."
Zhao Gongming said: "I have nothing to do with who you want to plot. I just brought a sentence; the leader strictly ordered that the Eastern Emperor Bell is not allowed to be touched again. I have brought this word. If you don't stop it soon..."
There was a hint of resentment in Daji's words, her voice was a little louder unconsciously, and she said: "Since you love that kid so much, why didn't you take him under the door first?"
Zhao Gongming replied slowly: "The leader was originally a sentimental person. This matter is no longer uncommon in Jinao. In my opinion, the leader likes that kid very much. Even though the Eastern Emperor Bell voted for Kunlun, he still regarded him as his Like a disciple, you can see the heart of protecting one's weaknesses. Besides, Donghuang Zhong has betrayed Kunlun by following Yin Shoude now; let alone you should not get in the way because of your personal feelings."
Daji said leisurely: "The leader is also caring for us little demons, he is an excellent person."
After a while, Zhao Gongming said again: "Since the three religions have signed the list of gods, the future plan will fall on this spiritual creature. If you act rashly, you will disturb the overall situation..."
Daji smiled lightly and said: "The little demon is just a pawn of Empress Nuwa, it is too flattering to say this to me now."
Daji said softly: "Your Majesty stirs it up casually, and the two religions will fight endlessly, and even the world is like muddy water."
Zhao Gongming said coldly: "The Hierarch has a plan to deal with it long ago. Nu Wa is just a quasi-sage. Do you think the Conferred God Altar will be built beautifully?"
Daji suddenly said again: "I'm afraid Shen Gongbao doesn't want to be kind, this time Wen Zhong is going to fight, he will definitely take the opportunity..."
Zhao Gongming smiled and said: "That guy is not real, I still don't know whose order he took, but he must always be a member of the Sanqing party and will not vote for Nuwa."
"The leader of the future, the old man of Yuanshi, the old gentleman and the three immortals used the two religions to fight and beheaded the three corpses to become holy. Nuwa is no longer a concern. Even if they release thousands of demons to wreak havoc on the world, they will not be able to shake the foundation of Yanhuang. Dong Although the imperial bell is vacillating, it is still the same lineage of the Sanqing. If you make an enemy of him and add to the chaos, then don't blame me for being cruel... "
Daji sighed, and said: "I only know that Empress Nuwa created humans to treat all living beings equally."
Zhao Gongming sneered and said, "Man-made? It's just a plaything to relieve loneliness; you just make a clay doll and treat it as your son and daughter? It's a pity that she didn't expect that making this pile of clay puppets by herself would be a pair Hordes, dared to their Maker…”
Hao Ran behind the rockery is struck by a thunderbolt, although the dialogue between Zhao Gongming and Daji is extremely cryptic, it seems to shake off a shocking burden! Sanqing and Nuwa have a rift? What is the real reason for the Battle of the Conferred Gods? According to Zhao Gongming, it was Nuwa who provoked the internal strife by chance, and the leader of Tongtian and Tianzun Yuanshi both turned a blind eye and let this chaos take shape
Thinking for a while, Daji and Zhao Gongming couldn't hear the words clearly, and the fox demon said a few more intermittently. After leaving the rockery, Haoran was hesitant to catch up. When he asked clearly, Zhao Gongming walked away with an ambiguous smile. Turned out after the rockery.
"Yoho—baby—"
Haoran got goosebumps all over his body, took a step back, and was almost tripped to the ground, Zhao Gongming pushed aside his forehead hair, stretched out a hand, lowered his head and hooked Haoran's chin, acting frivolously, just like molesting a woman, Haoran was about to reprimand However, the moon disc turned out behind the dark clouds and shone on Zhao Gongming's face. He had handsome features, rippling eyes, and tall willow eyebrows, but he was an extremely handsome man.
"What are you eavesdropping on, huh?" Zhao Gongming took advantage of the moment of being stunned, and took Haoran by the arm, turned around, and the two of them stuck to the rockery. Zhao Gongming was tall and slender, but his hands were extremely strong, Haoran couldn't break free for a while. Zhao Gongming looked at Haoran's face carefully under the moonlight, clicked his tongue incessantly, and said: "Sure enough, it is a beautiful fortune."
Haoran was terrified, Zhao Gongming's expression was like treating himself as a plaything, and his sissy tone was disgusting. This man seemed to be righteous, and his expression didn't show the slightest sense of vulgarity. He blushed up to his ears and took a deep breath: "You..."
Zhao Gongming teased and said, "My dear boy, there's such a big commotion, I'm afraid no one will know if our brothers are having an affair?"
Haoran was about to shake Zhao Gongming away with the ringing of the bell, or even make the bastard bleed, but Zhao Gongming broke it first, and immediately lost his temper, and said embarrassingly: "How are you doing?"
Without waiting for Zhao Gongming to answer, Hao Ran restrained his mind and asked, "What does 'cut the three corpses' mean? What is the 'three corpses'?"
Zhao Gongming's nose was hot, and he kept teasing Haoran's ear, and he held Haoran's waist tightly with one hand, and the two bodies were stuck together in front of the rockery. I only heard Zhao Gongming say softly: "It's just a battle for territory, you are so worried about taking in the younger brother, but you have taken the initiative to teach the truth?"
Haoran still hadn't reacted, and asked again: "I have already entered the teaching, why is the master of Tongtian still like this... um..."
Before Haoran could finish asking, Zhao Gongming actually brought his lips together, intertwined his fiery tongue, and gave Haoran a sudden wet kiss.
Haoran was so embarrassed that he pushed Zhao Gongming away fiercely, but Zhao Gongming raised his hands and said seriously: "East Emperor Bell, listen to me."
"The leader pities you for being alone. The mission is heavy and the fortune is shallow, so he ordered me to steal the Conferred God Altar. He also issued an edict that Jin'ao Island was born in the immortal way, so no one can make things difficult for you." Zhao Gongming smiled faintly: " Now, do you have any regrets?"
Without waiting for Haoran to refute, Zhao Gongming said again: "Ask yourself, explain and teach the immortals, which one is not showing favor to you for the fate of this artifact?"
"Brother Haoran, Brother Yu has no other intentions. You love to go to Kunlun Mountain, and no one will stop you." Zhao Gongming laughed again: "I know you have doubts about the leader's trip, so I will explain your doubts here. Don't be wronged." killed him."
"In the whole world, he is the only one who doesn't care whether you are the Eastern Emperor Bell or a local dog. Since I heard that Zhong Yi said goodbye to Jin Ao, although the leader was lonely, he never announced it; seeing you acted like him when he was young , so I like it in my heart, and treat you as a personal disciple. This matter must not be confused with Kunlun's shameless Manshan Xiandao showing favor to you."
"You can wait here to see if Brother Yu is right." Zhao Gongming turned around with a smile and walked away.
Haoran hugged his knees and sat down against the rockery, his heartbeat finally slowed down a little, he chewed the meaning of Zhao Gongming's words, but he couldn't understand the meaning of the last sentence, he only felt that Jin Ao's people do what they want.
While he was thinking, another person walked out from the shadow of the tree behind him.
Haoran turned his head and saw a pair of swordsman boots.
When I looked up, I saw that man was wearing an open coat, holding a piece of grass root in his mouth, exposing his muscular chest, who is it if it's not Huang Tianhua
"You..." Hao Ran hurriedly looked at the place where Zhao Gongming left. Fortunately, the second watch had passed and there was no one in the garden. Otherwise, if Huang Tianhua was caught, the consequences would be disastrous! Thinking of Zhao Gongming's last sentence again, Fang knew that this fellow had always known that someone was spying in the dark.
In a small garden, there were actually four people gathered, it was really lively tonight.
"What are you laughing at?" Huang Tianhua asked doubtfully.
Haoran shook his head and said: "It's nothing." Immediately realizing the danger, he hurriedly dragged Huang Tianhua around the courtyard and hid in his guest room.
There were footsteps of guards patrolling outside the door, Hao Ran dimmed the lights a little, and asked, "Have you slowed down your cold poison?"
Huang Tianhua didn't answer, but said: "Master Ziya told me to come and find you."
Haoran originally thought that Huang Tianhua was chasing the two all the way to Jizhou to avenge his mother, but unexpectedly the swordsman cut straight to the point and wanted to persuade him to go back to the camp, he was startled immediately. Huang Tianhua said: "East Emperor Bell, are you acting as a spy in Shangcheng?"
Hao Ran frowned and said, "Did Jiang Ziya tell you?"
Huang Tianhua shook his head, and said: "I guess, you come back to Xiqi with me, and I will try my best to protect you from punishment."
Haoran was puzzled, since Jiang Ziya asked Huang Tianhua to follow him, and it would be fine to return to Xiqi, why did he say "Li Bao"? Before he could figure it out, he replied: "No, I can't go back to Xiqi right now. Tomorrow I have to ask Gongming to join his personal army and go out with Yin Shoude."
Haoran murmured again: "Tianhua, have you heard the saying 'cut three corpses'?"
Huang Tianhua seemed to be suppressing his anger, and said: "East Emperor Bell, listen to me, you are a refuge from the Dao of Heaven, you should never..."
Haoran suddenly got angry and said mockingly: "Eastern Emperor Bell. You are here to find the Eastern Emperor Bell. Do you know my name? From Kunlun to Yuanshi Tianzun, down to three generations of disciples, I have always been called the Eastern Emperor Bell. When did you know my real name?"
Huang Tianhua was shocked by these words, he couldn't refute immediately, Hao Ran reprimanded again: "In your eyes, I am just a magic weapon that can walk and talk, since that's the case, why don't you use force, come down with a stick, Should I be tied back to Xiqi?!"
Unknowingly, the voice became louder, and a guard knocked on the door and said, "My lord, is there something wrong?"
Before Huang Tianhua could answer, Hao Ran made gestures to tell Tianhua to hide on the couch, and said, "It's nothing! I'm talking to myself."
Seeing that the oil lamp was dim, he thought it was casting a shadow on the window paper, so he didn't dare to sit at the table anymore, Hao Ran sighed, sat on the side of the couch with his long legs resting on the railing at the end of the bed, and stopped talking.
After a long time, the footsteps of the guards moved away, before Haoran said: "Or use your Moxie sword to cut off my hands and feet, so that I will not be able to struggle, and you take me back to Xiqi to receive the reward. In less than a day, it can be restored... "
During the speech, the endless sorrow struck, Haoran had a clear mind, understood Zhao Gongming's words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he lay on the bed like a rascal, closed his eyes, spread his hands and feet, and said: "But brother Tianhua Do it, little brother dare not have any complaints."
After waiting for a long time, he didn't listen to Huang Tianhua's answer, the breath was close at hand, Haoran's heart skipped a beat, and when he was about to open his eyes, Huang Tianhua turned around and hugged him gently.
When he was in embarrassment, Huang Tianhua had already let go of his hands, lay back on the pillow, resting on his arm, looked at the Luosha on the tent, and said in a low voice: "Donghuangzhong, I'm sincerely not lying to you, Master Ziya didn't give orders, Tianhua They came from the army."
Haoran understood the meaning of Huang Tianhua's words, this reckless soldier was really worried about himself, so Fang violated military discipline and came to find him alone. Immediately, I was moved and no longer angry, so I said softly, "I'm sorry, I just..."
Huang Tianhua said: "East Emperor Bell, you have contracted the cold poison on my body."
Huang Tianhua suffered from cold poison when he was young, and his teacher Qingxu Zhenjun tried his best to dispel it with the true energy of the immortal family. Tianhua was worried about Haoran, so he asked this question.
Haoran smiled and said: "It happened once, but it has already neutralized my true qi. Brother Tianhua, don't worry."
The lamp ignited to the end, sank into the oil, and quietly extinguished. A room of silver light came in silently.
"I can't bear to see you help businessmen to abuse you and go astray."
"What does it have to do with you if I help businessmen to abuse you?"
"You are kind to me."
"The way to repay the favor is to take the benefactor back?"
"Eastern Emperor Bell..."
"My name is Haoran, not Donghuang Bell."
"Haoran, as the leader of the ancient artifacts, why do you willingly fall into the depravity and accompany the faint king...doing such a heaven-defying thing."
"You don't understand, Tianhua."
Haoran said softly: "I am his passer-by, but he is my whole life..."
