The bright sun is like gold, refracted on the bluish blue glazed tiles of the Wutai Hall, making the sun shine like a precious brilliance. A maid in Tsing Yi hurried up the steps of the palace, entered the palace, and subconsciously lightened her steps.
The dark sandalwood floor is as clean as a mirror, reflecting the shadows of the heavy golden curtains, and the brocade patterns float like clouds, extending into the deep inner hall. The people on duty all stood at a distance holding their breath, everyone lowered their brows and closed their eyes, not a single sound could be heard, the footsteps of the servants fell very clearly in the empty hall, and they didn't realize that there was a little sweat on their vests. When he saw Yan Xi, the imperial servant, he reported something in a low voice, Yan Xi deliberated for a moment, and then walked to the announcement room.
Across a section of hall corridor, voices could be faintly heard from the announcement room. Yan Xi walked up to the last Nine Dragon Moyu screen, and when he heard the emperor's cold voice, he hesitated for a moment. Although there was something urgent, he didn't dare to disturb it easily. But after only one stop, the voice inside stopped: "What's the matter?"
Yan Xi stepped forward and turned around the screen, only feeling that the atmosphere was dignified and oppressive. Except for King Zhan, there were only three important ministers, Feng Yan, Du Junshu and Si Weiyun, and everyone was expressionless. Only King Zhan looked at Xiang Feng opposite with a pair of slightly raised eyes, which was quite sharp.
Yan Xi bowed his head, without looking sideways, and said: "Your Majesty, the Hanguang Palace urgently summoned the imperial doctor just now."
Ye Tianling's dark eyes flickered slightly, and even King Zhan raised his eyes. This news came most timely for Feng Yan. Sure enough, the emperor combined the memorial in his hand, and said: "Go back and think about what to do, and the memorial will come up tomorrow." After saying this, he walked out of the announcement room and drove to Hanguang Palace.
Feng Yan bowed to receive it, and when he turned and exited, he secretly glanced at King Zhan, feeling resentful in his heart.
This summer, the Canglang River suffered from floods. Continuous torrential rains caused the river to overflow and the river to overflow. Seventeen counties in the Lake and Yun prefectures were destroyed and the city was flooded. This kind of flood has not been encountered for many years. The emperor hastily dispatched the Jiangzuo navy to dispatch warships to relocate the people, rush to repair the Guang'an Canal that was breached by the flood, and allocated money for disaster relief twice. After July and August, the flood gradually receded. Due to the proper relief, there were no more disasters and epidemics in the two prefectures. After several months of turmoil, all parties breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Mei Yuxian, who was on the gold list in the second year of Diyao and replaced Si Weiyun in the construction of Guang'an and Guangtong Shuangqu, made a performance together. The heavy-duty Feng Jingshu joined the imperial court. Shen he privately used the canal construction project, which made the Guangtong canal delayed. When the heavy rain came, the river surged, and the Guangtong Canal could not play its expected role. As a result, the Guang'an Canal was overwhelmed and burst its embankments for thousands of miles, destroying the houses and farmland in the two states.
When this impeachment came to the imperial court, the emperor was extremely furious. In recent years, when the deficit was checked, the first thing to check was misappropriation, which was a big taboo, not to mention that it caused serious disasters such as destroying dikes and flooding fields, so Feng Yan was immediately sent to the palace to see him.
As soon as Feng Yan arrived at the Wutai Hall, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. After kneeling and worshiping, he didn't hear the cry, and a melody fell in front of him, "Let's see for yourself."
Huang Ling's melody fell to the ground, and it suddenly unfolded in his eyes. Mei Yuxian's vigorous and straight handwriting pierced through the back of the paper, the ink was deep and bright, and the words were like blades, making Feng Yan gradually break out in a cold sweat. Just annoyed at this insignificant sixth-rank foreign official, how could he have the courage to impeach Feng Jingshu? When he raised his eyes, he saw a bright blade-like look in King Zhan's light smile.
Feng Yan's thoughts flashed, and he re-submitted the memorandum, leaned over and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the things mentioned in the memorandum involve dogs, according to the rules, I should avoid suspicion, and it is inconvenient to say more."
The tip of Zhan Wang's black ink-like eyes slightly raised, and the smile on his lips deepened slightly. He was not surprised, stable and not chaotic. He was worthy of being the prime minister of the three dynasties.
After the trial, the emperor looked at Feng Yan coldly: "The Guang'an Canal was destroyed and flooded for thousands of miles. You are in the center of the center, so don't you have anything to say?"
"The ministers have neglected their duties and failed to prevent problems before they happen, so that such a thing happened, I ask the emperor to reduce the responsibility." Feng Yan pleaded guilty first, and continued, "But why the Guang'an Canal broke, I think we should find out first. The whole story. There is a problem with the dam, and the officials responsible for supervising the construction cannot escape the responsibility, and they will inevitably find some excuses in order to shirk their responsibilities, and their words cannot be fully believed.”
As soon as the words fell, King Zhan's voice sounded beside him: "In the past few years, the gaps in the investigation have been filled, and the gaps in all departments have been filled one by one. Only the Ministry of Industry has been procrastinating on the excuse that the two canal projects are huge. Now the deficit is still there. , Guangtong Canal project stalled, Guang'an Canal was destroyed by floods, I don't know where the silver mined by the Ministry of Industry was used? Prime Minister Feng didn't talk about the silver mined, but attributed the cause to other things, why is that?"
Feng Yan immediately said: "My lord, I just replied to the emperor's words just now. As for the silver making of the canal, if you want to ask, the Minister of Finance should first investigate the household department in charge of this matter. If your lord wants to know, I will send a letter to the Minister of Finance as soon as possible, so that They're looking into it."
The tone sounded respectful, but because it was too respectful, it brought out some unusual meanings, as if the emperor's question could be put aside for a while, but King Zhan had to answer.
King Zhan couldn't tell that Feng Yan wanted to drag the Yin family into trouble, and said with a sneer, "Why is it so troublesome, you just need to ask Feng Jingshu about this matter. I heard that Feng Jingshu built a Buddhist temple in Sizhou's hometown Praying for Mrs. Fengxiang, using Nanling sandalwood as wood and East China Sea white jade as the steps, claiming that even the Zhaoning Temple built by the emperor for the empress dowager can't match, I wonder what Fengxiang thinks about this?"
Feng Yan was secretly startled, he didn't want Feng Jingshu's drunken words, thousands of miles away, King Zhan knew so clearly, besides that, I don't know how many other things fell into his hands. Immediately said: "The matter of the child donating money to worship the Buddha for his mother was approved by the empress in advance, and the empress gave her money for repairs. How dare the small mountain temple be compared with Zhaoning Temple? The scale of Zhaoning Temple is the most clear. Isn't it ridiculous?"
The cold light in King Zhan's eyes sank, and Du Junshu and Si Weiyun frowned at the same time. Feng Yan was indeed Jiang Laomi, and this move was both offensive and defensive. plot in it.
I think King Zhan and the emperor were not on good terms at the beginning, because he knew that the emperor was sincere and filial to his grandmother, and he would not be sloppy with Zhaoning Temple. With a radius of hundreds of miles, tens of millions of funds were spent on building temples, which made the treasury more and more tight. After the completion of Zhaoning Temple, it can be called the first Buddhist temple in the world. No ordinary temple can surpass it. Today, it is not only a royal temple, but also a resort for monks from Tianzhu, Western Regions, and Tubo to come to the Central Plains to discuss Dharma, promote Buddhism, and educate the people. , the incense is very prosperous.
In the past few years, King Zhan devoted himself to governing and the treasury was full. Although the emperor knew the twists and turns, he didn't want to pursue it. It was just that the words came from other people's mouths, which inevitably made the two brothers feel a little uncomfortable.
King Zhan raised his eyes and stared at Feng Yan awe-inspiringly. Feng Yan's eyes were gloomy and cold, and the elegant smile on King Zhan's lips had gradually faded. Before he could speak, he heard the emperor say: "I'm asking about Guang'an Canal, what has it to do with Zhaoning Temple? Guang'an Canal cost money More than 400,000 people were built in three years, but now they are destroyed once, if there is another heavy rain next year, where do you want me to put the people in Jiangzuo?"
Both of them were silent and silent. At this time, Si Weiyun hurriedly brought the topic back to the repair of the canal: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to rush to repair the Guangtong Canal. If it wasn't for the failure of the Guangtong Canal this time, the lake However, Mei Yuxian also had something wrong. When the flood came, he knew that the Guangtong Canal could not be used, so he should open the floodgates upstream in time, and then Luyang, Fengzhi and other counties could be destroyed. The price is to preserve the seventeen counties of the two prefectures and keep the Guang'an Canal safe."
This is fair, and no one is partial, Du Junshu continued: "Mei Yu is a sixth-rank county envoy, at a young age, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make this decision, so I can't blame him completely."
Si Weiyun nodded and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me go back to Huzhou."
Ye Tianling pondered for a moment, but asked King Zhan, "What do you think?"
Zhan Wangdao: "My brother thinks that the key to things is not the people, but the rules and regulations. Take this canal construction item as an example, from the Ministry of Households to the Ministry of Industry, into the Chief Minister, and then to the state capital, how many of them are useless It was time-consuming and labor-intensive. In fact, the construction projects of various places can be directly transferred from the Ministry of Accounts to the Supervision Office, which not only improves efficiency, but also prevents those who are corrupt and perverting the law."
Just as Feng Yan was about to speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the emperor's cold gaze towards this area, and heard four words: "This matter is negotiable."
Feng Yan was hale and vigilant, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a glint of light in the slits of his eyes.
The nine governors of the thirty-six prefectures in the world are in charge of the military administration of the prefectures under their jurisdiction, and all of them hold great power. It is obvious that the emperor intends to take over the center of power. King Zhan saw this opportunity and suddenly launched an attack. It must have been planned by Mei Yu to impeach Feng Jingshu first.
Four of the chief envoys of the Nine Paths are the direct relatives of the Feng family. If the discussion continues, King Zhan must take the people of the Feng family to act, and Feng Jingshu will bear the brunt. Feng Yan knew in his heart that if he didn't pay attention, he would be at a disadvantage in this step, and was about to try to make a deal, but it happened that Yan Xi's report interrupted the discussion.
Although the empress is weak and sick, she seldom informs the imperial physician, and the sudden urgent call must be some accident. Don't say it's the emperor, but everyone present is in suspense.
After exiting the Wutai Hall, Feng Yan left the palace and returned to the mansion, planning all the way. With the empress here, it seems that the emperor still shows affection for the Feng family, otherwise today's impeachment would go straight to the court, and it would be irreversible no matter what. King Zhan is now in a threatening position, and there is nothing wrong with the queen at this pass, but only relying on the queen, the Feng family is also in danger every step of the way. Feng Yan thought about it, and it was difficult to calm down, but at this time, there was good news from the palace-the queen was pregnant.
After the Chengming Palace last year, with the example of Duke Qin, the courtiers did not dare to mention the Crown Prince. But the emperor has no heir is always a big deal. Now that the imperial doctor has confirmed that the queen has an heir, everyone inside and outside the court breathed a sigh of relief, and they wrote congratulatory forms one after another. Feng Yan also took the opportunity to make another memorial to apologize.
I don't know if it was because of the good news from the Central Palace that the emperor did not punish Feng Jingshu severely, but just dismissed his household servant, and made up for the misappropriation within a limited time. The turmoil a few days ago has been suppressed for the time being, and the forces of Chaozhong Zhan Wang and Feng's family are still balanced, and they cannot gain the upper hand for a while.
It just entered October, and the weather turned slightly cooler. After Qing Chen became pregnant, he was afraid of the cold, so he moved to Tsinghua University earlier than in previous years. Ye Tianling added dozens of court ladies to accompany her early, and assigned the imperial doctor to ask for her pulse every time, so she was extremely nervous, so she almost missed the imperial decree to confine her in the bedroom.
Although Qing Chen laughed at him for making a fuss out of a molehill, he was also very careful. Fortunately, after a few months, except for the slight discomfort at the beginning, everything was fine.
At this time, the new year was approaching, and the vassal states of the four regions came to the pilgrimage one after another, and some officials who were going to be promoted in the coming year were also ordered to report to the imperial capital. Ye Tianling was entangled with many things and couldn't be free every day, but no matter how busy he was, he would summon the imperial physician Huang Wenshang in person every few days.
Huang Wenshang has been in the palace since the Shengwu Dynasty, and has experienced a lot of practice, and his first-hand medical skills are already outstanding in the Imperial Hospital. Last year, Song Defang, the old imperial physician, retired and returned to his hometown, so he was promoted to the post of Imperial Physician and took charge of the imperial hospital. When he entered the palace that day, because the emperor had been discussing matters with King Zhan, he waited in the side hall and waited for more than an hour before the servants came to see him.
Turning around the corridor, Huang Wenshang saw King Zhan coming out of the hall from a distance, his warm and jade-like face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, which was not very clear. When I looked again, along the snowy and deserted Longtai jade steps, the elegant and handsome figure in the white robe and jade crown had gone far away.
Passing through the hall corridor and entering the inner hall, the servant retreated back, Huang Wenshang bent over and kowtowed, and the emperor's faint voice came from above his head: "Get up."
Huang Wenshang got up, raised his head slightly, and saw the emperor leaning on the dragon couch, wearing a cloud green robe, beside him was silver charcoal filled with agarwood, a four-legged lying animal lit a golden stove, and there was no trace of smoke and fire, the air around him was so warm that it was slightly floating, but it was hard to hide it. He looked tired.
Huang Wenshang bowed and stood there without seeing the question. After a while, the emperor put down the memorabilia he was looking at, leaned back with half-closed eyes, and asked, "Did you go to Tsinghua University to get a pulse?"
Huang Wenshang replied: "I just came from Tsinghua Terrace. The empress's pulse is safe and her fetal breathing is stable. There is nothing wrong with it. It's just that I don't have enough effort and my body is too weak. I am still worried that it will be very difficult when I give birth in a few months. Hard."
Ye Tianling opened his eyes, "How sure are you?"
Huang Wenshang hesitated, and said: "It depends on whether the mother has taken care of her properly in the past few months."
Ye Tianling said: "Is there still a lack of nourishing medicine in the palace? You can use whatever medicine you want, how could it be improperly taken care of?"
Huang Wenshang heard some displeasure in the emperor's tone, and thought that maybe today is not the right time, so he was very careful when answering, "Return to the emperor, the empress does not usually use the medicine prepared by the imperial hospital."
Ye Tianling also knew that because of Qing Chen's superb medical skills, the imperial doctors were very cautious in front of her, and she was not very used to having the imperial doctors see her. There is a special medicine department in the middle palace, and the medicines used by Qing Chen are usually according to her own prescriptions, and the imperial doctor is only responsible for selecting medicinal materials for her except when she is called into the palace. He didn't want to blame Huang Wenshang, but seeing that he hesitated to speak, he frowned and said, "Say what you want."
Huang Wenshang said casually: "I just saw a few medicinal herbs at the empress's place, it seems a bit inappropriate."
"What's wrong with the medicine?"
Huang Wenshang said: "I have seen those medicines, some of them have the effect of breaking blood and promoting labor, and some of them are relatively rare. I don't know them very well, so I can't know the effects of the medicines. It's easy to say if ordinary people take medicine, but if you are pregnant, You still have to be more careful. With your empress's body, if you take some medicine that shouldn't be used, the consequences will be disastrous."
"What did the Queen say?"
"Your Majesty has always had her own opinion on her medication, and I dare not ask more questions."
"Aren't the medicinal materials from the queen's place selected by the imperial pharmacy, why don't you remind me?"
Huang Wenshang lowered his head and lowered his eyes: "Those medicinal materials were sent to the central palace by Prince Zhan's mansion. They did not pass through the imperial pharmacy, and the minister saw them occasionally." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the emperor's eyes lift up, and his heart felt as if it was being wrapped in a thread. The thin blade passed by, and he didn't dare to say any more.
There was a moment of stagnation in the air, which was broken by a low cough, followed by the emperor's slow words, "The empress is familiar with the principles of medicine, so she should have her own measure."
Huang Wenshang raised his eyes to look at the emperor's expression, he saw nothing but indifference, and no one could detect the slightest clue. Ye Tianling sat up, suddenly stopped, frowned deeply, and said later: "You step back."
"Yes." Huang Wenshang observed the words and expressions, and asked tentatively before kneeling down, "The emperor seems to be not feeling well, do you want me to ask for a pulse?"
Ye Tianling sat for a while, then said softly, "That's fine."
Huang Wenshang knelt down and asked for his pulse. After careful consideration, he said: "The emperor has been too tired recently, and I am afraid that some of the old injuries from the past have been caused. There is no need to use any special medicine, just rest for a while. If you feel If you feel unwell, you can also use a little jade lingzhi, which is a tribute from Nanzhao, which has the effect of relieving pain and refreshing, and relieving fatigue."
Ye Tianling felt a dull pain in the old wound these days, and became a little tired after a lot of things. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "You can bring the medicine tomorrow." , don’t alarm the queen.”
After Huang Wenshang led the order to withdraw, Ye Tianling closed his eyes and seemed to be resting, but from the light tapping of his fingers on the armrest beside the dragon bed, it could be seen that he was thinking about something.
After a while, he picked up the memorabilia he was reading just now, and browsed the long and eloquent speech again. His slender fingers tightened slightly on the exquisite golden dragon relief, and he turned a little pale. The memorial was thrown head-on on the imperial case.
It was Zhongshu Ling Fengyan's memorial to impeach King Zhan.
After the beginning of spring, there are several great ceremonies in China, which is the busiest time of the year. In mid-April, during the annual Spring Hunting in Tiandu, Emperor Hao drove to Xuansheng Palace, accompanied by all the royal family from the prince down. The empress is now in a heavy body, and even the silkworm kissing ceremony that should have been presided over by her is avoided. At this time, these hunting, shooting ceremony and so on have not been participated in.
In the Kunlun Garden, the banners of the emperor's camp are continuous, the guards of the imperial forest are densely packed, and the neighing of people and horses can be heard from afar.
Baolu Mountain has undulating fields, strange peaks and deep valleys, and there are quite a few rare birds and animals, including antelopes, white deer, fierce tigers, and golden leopards. Ye Tianzhan often went hunting in the mountains when he was the prince, and he was very familiar with the terrain of Baolu Mountain. He was not very interested in the small animals that had been driven out near the camp. He took his guards all the way deep into the mountains, rode horses and led bows, and harvested a lot. He saw dusk clouds everywhere, and the sun was setting. It was almost dusk.
There are endless fiery clouds in the sky, and the birds fly by in groups from the sunset, throwing themselves into the dense forest. The afterglow of the setting sun casts the last light and shadow on the steep rocks, making the mountains more profound and beautiful. Ye Tianzhan was stopping his horse to appreciate the twilight in the mountains, when he suddenly heard the guards around him shouting: "My lord, there are deer over there!"
He turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw nearly a hundred wild deer passing by in groups from the valley. The number of deer was increasing, as if they were driven here. Ye Tianzhan suddenly saw an extremely rare white deer in front of him. He was very surprised and waved his hand: "Chase!"
The guards obeyed the order, beat their horses one after another, and followed him into the valley. A few arrows passed by, the herd of deer was frightened and gradually became chaotic, the white deer was immediately scattered away from the other deer. Ye Tianzhan's target was the white deer, and he chased after him with his horse, and couldn't help but go deep into the valley. The sky is getting darker, the road is getting narrower, dense forests are everywhere, and the mountains on both sides are becoming more and more jagged.
The horse under Ye Tianzhan's seat is a famous horse from Dawan, very handsome, it passed through a forest, and gradually caught up with the white deer. Immediately, he drew the arrow with his backhand, leading the bow from a distance, and the arrow was like a shooting star, straight for the prey. At this moment, there was a sharp whistling sound beside him, and a spiked arrow shot from not far away like lightning, almost at the same time as his arrow, and hit the white deer.
The white deer was hit by an arrow, and then ran a few steps, knocked down in the forest. Ye Tianzhan wondered whose arrows were so sharp, so he reined in his horse and turned around, only to see that the shooter was actually the emperor. Ye Tianling rode over from the forest, wearing white clothes and black boots, and holding a golden bow. He and Twelve hunted deer all the way to this point, but never expected to meet Ye Tianzhan.
Ye Tianzhan got off his horse and said, "I've seen Brother Huang!"
"No." Ye Tianling raised his hand and ordered him to excuse himself. Twelve came later, seeing Ye Tianzhan, he smiled and said, "Haha, it's Brother Seven, I was just wondering whose arrow it was, that it could compete with Brother Fourth."
Ye Tianzhan smiled when he heard the words, but there was a slightly strange look on his brows. Although the inside and outside of Tiandu has been prosperous and lively recently, the court has not been very peaceful. The center of the vortex is in Zhan Wangfu and Feng's house.
Not long after the Guang'an Qu incident last time, Mei Yu was first transferred from Huzhou to Tiandu, and became a doctor of the Ministry of Industry. The Feng family held a grudge against Mei Yu for impeaching Feng Jingshu first, and suppressed him in every possible way. Unexpectedly, Mei Yu was unafraid, and played the impeachment again, this time against Feng Yan, who once met with Tubo envoys in private, accepted bribes, and colluded with the enemy and misled the country. Frightened and furious, Feng Yan realized that the matter was not as simple as Mei Yuxian, so he immediately pointed the finger at King Zhan. As it happens, in March this year, there will be a solar eclipse every day. Feng Yan took this opportunity to write to Emperor Hao again, saying that "there is an eclipse in the sun, like the yin invades the yang, and the minister invades the emperor", thinking that it is very unlucky, implying that King Zhan has the heart of disobedience. Faced with this situation, Emperor Hao never made any statement, but the court situation was turbulent, and some inexplicable estrangements gradually appeared between King Zhan and Emperor Hao.
Before the guards arrived, Ye Tianzhan crossed the rocks to look at the white deer. Thinking of the many incidents in the court recently, the emperor's attitude has always been very intriguing, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and his interest in hunting this day has faded a bit.
Both feathered arrows pierced through the neck, and it is hard to tell who will die. Ye Tianzhan held the longbow in his hand, smiled lightly, turned around and said: "Brother Huang, this arrow is fired first, and my younger brother is willing to bow down."
Ye Tianling also led the horse forward slowly. Under the half-dark twilight, the eyes of the two met. Suddenly, Ye Tianzhan heard Twelve exclaim: "Brother Seven, be careful!" He saw Ye Tianling A sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if there was a gust of wind blowing behind him, his eyes were bright like lightning, and the sharp arrow in Ye Tianling's hand had already shot towards him. In the blink of an eye, almost without thinking, he drew an arrow with his bow and raised his hand to shoot. The arrow was fierce and directly hit Ye Tianling.
Ye Tianling passed by his left side with a long arrow earlier, and the arrows shot out from his hands. At the very moment, the two arrows intersected in mid-air, with a "dang", dazzling white light splashed in response, tearing the dark night.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, Twelve's exclamation, sharp arrows, and then accompanied by the roar of a beast, a heavy object fell to the ground behind him, and Ye Tianzhan's second arrow also hit the bow.
On the opposite side, the golden dragon bow in Ye Tianling's hand was also full of arrows at the same time, and with a flash of sharp light, it pointed at him coldly.
The bow is like a full moon, and from a distance of several steps, one can almost see the sharp white light on the opponent's arrow tip, which is as cold as ice and as cold as snow.
At this time, the accompanying guards on both sides arrived one after another, and they were all shocked when they saw this situation suddenly. Wei Changzheng waved his hand, and the imperial guards quickly surrounded him. The guards of King Zhan's mansion were all dead soldiers loyal to King Zhan, and they immediately responded.
Ye Tianling and Ye Tianzhan turned a blind eye to this, they locked each other motionlessly, Ye Tianling's eyes were cold, and Ye Tianzhan's face was like severe frost. The complex and sharp edge between the eyes, with the gradually tightening strength of the two long bows, slowly overflowed with a terrifying murderous aura.
No one dared to move rashly in the surroundings, fearing that even the slightest sound could cause blood to splatter three feet.
Facing the emperor's cold gaze, Ye Tianzhan's lips were pursed tightly, and a trace of evil spirit gradually appeared on his face. Twelve hands were already on the hilt of the sword, he took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Seven!"
Ye Tianzhan turned his head slowly following Twelve's gaze, and was startled suddenly. Half a step away from him behind him, a leopard fell to the ground, with blood spattered all over the surrounding rocks and trees. Ye Tianling's previous long arrow pierced through the leopard's forehead until it had no feathers, killing him with one shot. Like a flash of shock in his heart, Huo Di turned around, Ye Tianling looked at him expressionlessly, the golden bow in his hand was motionless, and the long arrow was sharp.
Countless thoughts flashed through Ye Tianzhan's mind. After a while, he quickly put away the bow and arrow, and then knelt down on one knee, "Brother Emperor, brother... you are being reckless!"
Dressed in white, his figure was cold and cold. Everyone saw the emperor's chilly arrow still locked on King Zhan's body. Under the darkening twilight, no one could see the emperor's expression clearly. The mountain wind suddenly blew up, and the nearby horses neighed uneasily as if they could no longer bear the killing intent. King Zhan kept his head down all the time, but his hands were getting tighter and tighter between the bow and arrow. In any case, the arrow just now was already a death penalty.
Time seemed to be frozen at this moment, and after an unknown amount of time, the emperor finally put down the golden bow slowly, and seemed to chuckle slightly: "Get up."
Ye Tianzhan raised his head, Ye Tianling glanced at him from the horse, turned around and said, "Turn around and send this leopard to King Zhan's camp."
