Text Nineteen Road Seventeen (44)
Xiao Shangquan sat upright now and said, "I want to know how Master Ji Xian became the military commander of You Country? To be honest, I was from You Country last time—"
"I know!" An Ling said, "After investigation, Lord Ji Xian's mother, Lord Ji Ren, is loyal to You Country. His grandfather and grandfather are the elders of the three dynasties who once lived in Da Anguo. Therefore, I let my mother seal the title. He is an internal military commander. This is also in view of his certain commanding ability and great light work."
"But..." Shangquan said, "You didn't find out, his ultimate goal—"
"Checked it out!" An Lingzhao scorned, "His ultimate goal is to complete his Great Wu Kingdom without realizing the Great You Kingdom. All this is that he personally wants to win the five beasts' courage."
"Then why do you want to ban him as a military commander?" Shangquan was puzzled.
An Ling replied: "Before all his wishes were fulfilled, he shared the same task with Anguo, which was the younger sister Siqiyin. Now he is appointed to the military command, just to give him the environment and the courage to weaken the power of the Siqiyin. At a certain time, if I want to reunify Da'anguo, I must collect all his rights."
It turned out to be so. Everything about Master Ji Xian was under An Dian's control. "But, give him the military command. What if he doesn't hand over the military power?"
"It's very simple. His spiritual position is placed in the Andian Martyrs' Seat." An Ling replied, "I will solve all obstacles in Da'anguo with my own hands."
His elder brother has been living in the environment of Andian's power assault since he was a child, and the hereditary and dominant thoughts of power have nurtured him. He inherited his father's will and wanted to unify Da'an, I can understand. But how can it be a gentleman's way to use others in this way and treat others' ideals like paper? ! Destroying the five beasts is so courageous, it is difficult to go to the sky. It is even more impossible for me to change a world from a constitutional monarchy to a socialist system or a capitalist system. The way of a gentleman is not equal to the way of a powerful king, is it correct? After finishing things, I should work hard—"Shangquan, you don't have to worry about these things anymore." Lingzhao instructed my sister, "Four hiding and holding five beasts will have nothing to do with you from now on. My father has already agreed to me. , I won’t let those hordes of guards follow you again. All you have to do now is stay in Andian and do what a princess should do!"
"Brother, regarding Master Xiang Qiuqing in the Four Forces, there has never been—"
"I said it has nothing to do with you!" An Lingzhao said sternly, "You are not allowed to hide in front of me again. Haven't you been fooled by the son of Ling? He is the tool of the four. You understand. However, there is no change in your actions. In addition, after the completion of the event, as you said, for the people of the world, you obediently handed over the three darings in your body."
what? ! Xiao Shangquan was surprised by what his brother said, but it made sense to think about it. Just one thing I don't understand: "Even if I have five beasts, I still have one. How can I get three?"
Until now, let’s tell my sister: "You’re not one. After encountering a fire, the beads will be divided into three. After cooling, they will become three solid guts. They are turtle gall. , Hu gall, leopard gall. Shangquan, you must listen to your brother this time. Stay in Andian and you don’t need to go anywhere. After you take the snake gall back, the world will be peaceful!"
"That kind of peace is only temporary. He is brewing a new wave of courage. The world is going to be chaotic. Only the destruction of the five beasts can be-"
"So what about the country that has answered?" An Lingzhao asked back, "If the five guts are not in Da Anguo's hands, it is equivalent to throwing Da Anguo into the big volcano, understand?"
"If you really want to dominate the world that way, you can rely on your own real power. The five beasts are amazing, but they are evil." Shangquan argued.
"I very much agree with your lofty thinking." An Lingzhao said, "But you don't understand that the five beasts are the treasures of Da'an, which has brought dynasties to revitalize the country. There is no threat of the five guts. Da'an will be purely an empty country in the future. Power-severs attacked Da'an and endangered the common people. I can guarantee Da'an’s comrades, but I cannot keep the soldiers and people who died tragically during the war."
"But it happened like war!"
"That's because of the loss of the other four guts."
Xiao Shangquan couldn't speak to his brother, so he said: "If you want the times to progress, the backward feudal rule of Da'an State will eventually be replaced." As soon as the voice fell, the person in front of him put a sharp sword on his shoulder. What a strange brother, she looked at him in horror.
"Don't defy King An's courage. Those who violate the order, cut!" The unbearable An Lingzhao finally took out this trick. Seeing his sister didn't speak any more, with a grieved and panicked expression, he suddenly regretted it again. Receiving the sword said: "I forgot to tell you: tomorrow is the three-year bird worship festival in Da'anguo. I have breakfast tomorrow morning and go to the main hall to meet my father and worship the spirit!"
— "Princess Shangquan? Princess Shangquan!" Lord Dongcheng shouted from the princess.
"Ah?!" Shangquan turned around, and then pulled away from the memory, "Master Dongcheng."
Dongcheng laughed: "It's time to go to the main hall!"
"Oh!" Shangquan followed the guards to the main hall. On the way, she asked: "Master Dongcheng, what exactly is the Bird Worship Festival?"
Dongcheng replied: "Birds are animals that people place gods on, so they go to worship for peace and wealth. In fact, this is a superstition. It's just that this custom has been passed down after a long time. Come down. Now, it has evolved into a festival that conveys the love of life and cherish life. Once every three years. On this day, people first have to worship the ancestors, and then sprinkle some grains of rice in front of the door to entertain them. The creatures. At night, you can play in the street, enjoy various shows or go shopping."
"Ha—there are such fun things." Shangquan tried to keep himself from thinking about the sad things. "Why don't we go out to the streets to have fun that night?"
Princess Shangquan, you say that, I am so happy! With your words, really, I am very satisfied. But... No, really not! Dongcheng replied: "It's good, but maybe An Wang doesn't approve it!"
"Why? Why is this not approved!" Shangquan puzzled.
Looking at the princess's confused and disappointed expression. Lord Dongcheng replied helplessly: "You are now in a special period!"
Shangquan analyzed this sentence and finally understood: "You mean... I'm under house arrest?"
Dongcheng nodded.
Shangquan thought that after all, he was put in a game by An Dian and commanded an army. If you don’t hand over the courage of the five beasts, they will never let themselves leave Andian... Brother, are you the same as the father...
…
On the Bird Worship Festival, Guan Xiahe took Xiao Lian to the tomb of her husband to worship her husband. After the worship, she and her daughter each held a bowl of rice and sprinkled it around the tomb.
Xiaolian sprinkled and said: "Little bird, please bless your father and take good care of your father after you have eaten. Let father be as happy as you." After the sprinkling, she admired the rice grains she had sprinkled. I feel it is not enough, and I am ready to sprinkle it again.
"Okay, OK!" Guan Xiahe took her daughter, "No need to spill, they can't finish eating."
"Oh." Xiaolian thought for a while and said, "Then I'll get some water. After they eat, they will definitely be thirsty. I'll get some more water for them to drink!"
Seeing her daughter's innocence, Guan Xiahe nodded and agreed: "Go, come back quickly, be careful on the way." The daughter went to play. Although the husband's hatred was not personally avenged, the enemy finally got the retribution that he deserved, and everything began to calm down. I should stop everything and take Xiaolian well. Please rest assured, our real life is about to begin. Guan Xiahe pondered the past in front of her husband's grave. In the dark, I felt the sound of approaching footsteps behind me. Listening to this voice, it's not like my daughter's. She turned around: "Master Ji Ren?!"
Master Ji Ren stood in front of Guan Xiahe and nodded slightly in response.
Guan Xiahe’s enthusiasm is supreme: "Master Ji Ren, thank you so much. It's been so long. You still come to pay respect to Dad Xiaolian."
"No need!" Master Ji Ren took a few steps forward.
Guan Xiahe hurriedly helped the adults, saying: "We have been out of the secluded hall for five years and have not visited you. I am really sorry. I will definitely take Xiaolian to visit you when I have time. I don't know if Master Ji Ren is in good health now. Okay? Looks like this, it should be good. Xiaolian, the playful girl, said she was going to scoop water, but now she doesn't know where to go. Master Ji Ren, I really congratulate you on the last time I saw Master Ji Xian. The child is promising and has become the internal military command of You Country. You—ah—" Guan Xiahe suddenly felt a tingling pain in her abdomen. Bow, why? How could this be? In her life, she would never have imagined that the benevolent and loyal Master Ji Ren would silently slam her sword into her body. "Master Ji Ren, you... you..."
The expressionless-faced Master Ji Ren coldly withdrew the sword, unmoved by the sadness of the person in front of her falling down. Humph, all obstacles can only be relieved if you remove them yourself. I used to think that you had launched the Courage-seeking Clan, but I didn't expect you to be such a hindrance. He broke the medicine storehouse of Master Cipo and said, even Master Chengyi didn't let it go, and had to kill you! Master Ji Ren inserted the sword back into the scabbard and moved on. For the low tomb at her feet, she gave it red blood...
At the end of the moon night, An Dian was on the street, bustling like a mirror, busy, and full of voices. All kinds of frolicking, bargaining, and the steaming scene of uncovering the lid of the pot, the cheerful flames flickering in the dull and colorful lanterns made a flourish.
The crowds, a pair of sharp eyes wandering the streets and alleys. It seeks its own goals in the lively world. At the poetry meeting, no; in the tavern, no; in the crowd of onlookers, not to mention... Before he reached his goal, he should be alone in a sparse and lonely alley. As a result, these murderous eyes rolled around the alleys. In the dark corner of the corner, sure enough, the target character was writing a fu on the wall.
The writer's ears trembled lightly, and the shadow of the outside of the crowd was slightly cold in the moonlight. He stopped writing: "Who?"
The visitor asked directly: "But writer Xue Chaori?"
The writer smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not the writer of Xue Zhaori, my dear Xue Shangyue. What can the elderly do?"
The comer said: "It's you!"
Shangyue didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
The visitor nodded and said, "I, my envoy Ji Ren. He is a good friend with your father."
"Oh, isn't it?" A look of contempt flashed in Shangyue's eyes, "It's Master Ji Ren, the younger generation is polite! It's a great bird worship festival, don't appreciate the liveliness and comfort of the people, and run to this darkness Corner, share with me the sadness of this month?"
"You child is really ignorant." Master Ji Ren said, "Your father is very good for you, but you are so unwilling to hinder us again and again. It is really sad for your father."
"What can I do then?" Shang Yue said, "How is he well-intentioned when he gave birth to me like that? Well, I won't discuss this kind of family ugliness with you. What do you do?"
Master Ji Ren lowered his head and said sincerely: "Kill you!"
Shangyue was taken aback for a moment, and then dismissed: "Huh, for Xue Mingzhao?"
"For myself!" Master Ji Ren remained pious.
How could Shangyue give up on such arrogant words. He drew out the soft sword, twisted the loyal "snake", and swept toward the enemy: "Man is not for himself, the heavens are destroyed! Senior Ji Ren, take the sword." But the other party gave himself silence. This is contempt! Since he came to chase and kill, he didn't take the initiative to release the sword, meaning letting go! This kind of contempt made Shangyue angry. Humph! Sure enough. Senior, this old woman can still block my sword, and I haven't even seen your sword movement.
Master Ji Ren was also laughing secretly, at a young age, he wanted to kill an enemy he didn't understand. Well, I will forgive you for being young and frivolous!
Shangyue continued to use his unique sword skills to stab the enemy again and again. In one move, he finally entangled the opponent's chaotic sword with his "soft snake". So, he took the opportunity to straighten the "soft snake", and the enemy's sword was twisted by the "soft snake" and broke into several pieces. Shangyue didn't give up, Snake Kiss, I thought of this name today, and I can use it today. Stabbing at the enemy, my loyal friend. His sword pierced the opponent's wrinkled and thick throat under the corner of his mouth. Ok? No, no, no, no!
"Shangyue, it's me!" Xiao Shangquan leaned back, worried about his throat puncture.
"Huh?" Shangyue was startled and stopped immediately. He stepped forward, "Why are you? What happened just now?"
"I was taken advantage of!" Xiao Shangquan gasped in shock.
Upon seeing this, Shangyue asked, "It doesn't matter, right?! Did I hurt you?" He wanted to grab the opponent's hand, not wanting to touch a hard object. At the same time, he suddenly felt a piece of body wet, and then he went It is painful in the heart. He lowered his head, blood was dripping from the ground. , Under the crooked moon, there was an aggrieved look. Is that blood really his own? He raised his head again, the wrinkles on his face were still in front of him, and his cloudy eyes were filled with pain that he could not regret. Won it... who are you? You despicable fellow!
Humph! Ji Ren released his hand, and several short-folded swords were scattered in the bright red on the ground, except for the one that was inserted into the enemy's body. She turned her back and heard the enemy crashing to the ground unwillingly behind her. Boy, don't be too upset. There are too many injustices in this world. I am not sorry for you. I can't summarize myself as the murderer who killed you. From the whole world and the whole life, you and I are tools to change each other's destiny. Time is the ultimate winner! Goodbye! Ji Ren walked out of the still quiet alley and continued to search for her next goal...
After some tossing, Xiao Shangquan finally escaped from Andian smoothly, and was alone on the bright street of the Bird Worship Festival. After a while of excitement, she suddenly became sad. Seeing those who walked with each other, or those who watched the lanterns, or the entertainers who played monkeys and dogs, she lowered her head and saw her lonely shadow, and she felt uncomfortable. Brother, are you still in Yashanling now? Are you still helping the masked predecessor to find the five beasts and courage hardly and persistently? The world is so beautiful, why do you put yourself in a coil of principle, binding everything about yourself? And Junior Brother, I really feel sorry for you! I want to be sad for you, but I feel unworthy. I really miss the days I spent with you... Maybe there will never be. I came by myself, after all, I am destined to live alone... Huh? A figure broke into Xiao Shangquan's sight. She turned her head: "Master Ji Ren?!"
"Princess!" The adult lowered his head humbly.
"Oh, hello!" Shangquan replied.
"Why does the princess travel here alone! It's not safe." Lord Ji Ren said, "Princess please go back to Andian as soon as possible!"
"It's true that I ran out sneakily." Shangquan said, "My father and brother put me under house arrest in Andian. I can't stand it. Why... If you have Mr. Lao Jiren, you can take a look with me."
Master Ji Ren smiled secretly: "I am willing to serve Princess Daan. Please!"
"Wait!" A few leaves swayed, the attic creaked slightly, and a swift figure stood in between the two.
Shangquan was surprised. In such a peaceful and peaceful bird worship festival, there are so many idlers who seem to have impure purposes are hidden. Only then did she feel murderous all around her. "Master Ji Xian?!" Shangquan said, "Why are you all here?"
Ji Xian didn't answer the princess, but said to the humanity in front of him: "I have been with you all night, and the rewards are not shallow! Your sword, Sir Ji Ren... Do you want me to give you another one?"
Seeing that Ji Renda did not answer in two years, Shangquan questioned: "Master Ji Xian, I heard from Sister Guan that Senior Ji Ren is your mother. Why are you doing this with your mother—"
"She's not Mother Mother!" Ji Xian corrected. "As early as five years ago, she came to the Youdian to kill my mother. Then she kept hiding in the Youdian for five years like my mother. !"
"Huh?" Shangquan was shocked, "How could this be? Then she is?"
Ji Xian looked at the mother-eater enemy in front of him. Let her answer her own crimes.
"The founder of Yirongfa: Xiang Qiuqing!" Xiang Qiuqing finally confessed his true identity.
"Xiang Qiuqing?" Shangquan was stunned, "Then... Then you are not Xiang Liushui's master!"
"Humph!" Xiang Qiuqing's face moved slightly, "That useless girl, even if he injects enterotoxin into her body, she won't let her behave."
"What? It turns out that her abdomen has become a fatal weakness. It was you who gave me intestinal poison." Shangquan couldn't believe it. "You are her master, how can you do this?"
"She grew up to be playful and infatuated, and when she grew up she was young and infatuated, and she didn't listen to Master's words at all." Xiang Qiuqing said, "For such a person, she should be poisoned and controlled. Just like...Princess An Lingling in Da'an. Having said that, the ignorant flowing water not only refused to listen to the master's words, but also took the courage privately, opposed to being the teacher, I had to let someone kill her!"
"You let An Lingling kill Xiang Liushui?!" Shangquan finally knew the truth, "For yourself, in spite of the feelings of mentor and apprentice, brutally murdered your own disciples, and even pretended to be the minister of the secluded palace to get the courage. You It's vicious!"**
