The heavy palace door opened slowly, and an old man with white hair walked in. Looking at Chu Wanyi who was sitting alone on the high platform, the old man sighed softly. Chu
Ling Feng knelt down on one knee and saluted the old man. "
Ling Feng, go out, let me sit with Wan Yi alone for a while. "The patriarch Chu Ziqiu seems to be older than before, and his tall and straight body seems to be a little rickety now. After Chu Wanyi was promoted to Huangwu and the previous emperor retired to retreat, he should have gone to the palace with peace of mind at the age of more than 300 years. Die, sleep forever, and hand over the dynasty to their father and daughter to continue. But a drastic change hit the dynasty, the previous emperor died in battle, and the authority of the new emperor was questioned. He had to hang his breath and reappear with his back straight Chu
Ling Feng bowed and retreated, and gently closed the palace door. Chu
Ziqiu sat on the Zijin Palace chair, looked at the dim and majestic hall, and after a long silence, whispered softly: "All of this is not your fault, it is your father's negligence in monitoring and not being able to detect this conspiracy in time , you don’t have to bear too much self-blame.” Chu
Wan Yi's eyes swayed slightly, blurring her vision.
"Have you made a decision?" Chu Ziqiu sighed softly. "
I..." Chu Wanyi's red lips moved slightly, she hesitated for a long time, and whispered in a difficult and miserable way: "I marry! "
Chu Ziqiu felt pity in his heart. This is a descendant he is very satisfied with. As a daughter, he is not inferior to any man, but the sky has given her too much favor, and now he is torturing her: "Wan Yi, abdicate Bar."
"Huh?" When Chu Wanyi said the marriage word, tears had already flowed down her cheeks. Humiliated for herself, and even more humiliated for the dynasty, she was speechless facing her people, let alone her ancestors.
"Doesn't everyone in the imperial city question your ability? They want to put the responsibility for the dynasty's rebellion on you. You can use this reason to announce your abdication and let me take over the empire again. I make this decision in the name of the lord, order You marry the Chengtian Empire far away. I will bear the infamy of betraying the country, you are no longer the empress, and it is not voluntary, and marrying another country will not shame you and the royal family again."
"Old Ancestor..."
"You are still young, and the road is still long. I am old, so it doesn't matter anymore." Chu Ziqiu looked at the empty palace with a sad expression: "The dynasty has fallen to this point, and I have the responsibility, so let me take it to the end. You abdicate, I ordered, so that the dynasty’s words against you will only have one minor disadvantage in governing the country. If I die in the future, the people of the dynasty may still look forward to your return. If you can protect the dynasty in the future, and even find a chance to restore the dynasty, the people will even more Will support you."
Patriarch, I can't let your fame be ruined here, I can't! "Chu Wanyi burst into tears, all her strength collapsed in the caring words of her ancestors, as if the humiliation and pain of the past three years were released at this moment.
"Let's make this decision. If I can finally do something for the dynasty, I will die without regret. I, my old body, will bear all the questions from the ancestors and the resentment of the people. When you marry into the Chengtian Empire, Bear the humiliation and bear the burden, and wait for the opportunity. The expansion of the Chengtian Empire has already aroused the vigilance of the Tianyan Empire and other dynasties, as well as the confrontation of the monster race and the demon race. Now that the two time and space are colluding, it is another catastrophe. Don't worry. Don't take risks unless you are absolutely sure."
Chu Wanyi looked at the old and resolute face of the ancestor: "Ancestor, we actually still have a way to leave the chaotic martial arts and take refuge in the era of heaven."
"I've thought about it, it's not feasible. If we leave, the people in the city will bear the anger of the Chengtian Empire for us. Even if we leave, the Chengtian Empire may directly kill the Heavenly Court era. I also thought about it, let me lead Let the royal family resist the Chengtian Empire, send you away, and look for opportunities to restore the country in the future. But this is the root of the dynasty, the home of the royal family for thousands of years, and a proof of the existence of the dynasty. We have lost thousands of miles of territory, but we can't lose it here! Wan Yi, your talent and ability are not weaker than Sikong Yuandao, so take this catastrophe as an experience for you, and I believe you can persevere until the end." Patriarch Chu Ziqiu Yu earnestly advised Chu Wanyi . Chu
Wan Yi's red lips parted slightly, but she was speechless. Chu
Ling Feng suddenly pushed open the palace door, bowed one by one and said in a deep voice: "Sikong Yuanji is back!"
Chu Ziqiu regained his dignity: "Isn't it half a month later? It's only been five days, drive him out!" "
He was sent by the Fengmei Yaowang, who threw him outside the imperial city and left in a hurry. The city gate guard just sent the news that he was severely injured, and now there is only one soul left. And blatantly threatened that if he died outside, he would be the murderous hand of the Wan Shi Dynasty. ""
Only the soul? What happened! "Chu Ziqiu was surprised. Sikong Yuanji is the ninth level of the Tianwu Realm, and he is the Eighteenth Golden Guard General of the Chengtian Empire. Who can hurt him in the Wanshi Dynasty? Who dares to lay hands on him."
He refused to speak, but looked very anxious. ""
let him in! Bring a few Thousand Spirit Grass and Blood Lotus Essence to help him keep his soul. "Chu Wanyi doesn't want Sikong Yuanji to die in the eternal imperial city.
When Sikong Yuanji came to the Hall of Eternal Ages, his soul power was very strong. On his way here, the Fengmei Demon King forcibly ransacked an ancient city, and found a large number of spiritual herbs and medicines to protect the soul from the chamber of commerce and the city lord's mansion there. There is also an armor that can temporarily preserve the soul.
"It's been five days, how are you thinking?" Sikong Yuanji filled a black jade armor with his soul, maintaining the outline of a human being. Even so, he still raised his head proudly, and the voice from his soul was very sharp. "
There are still ten days, don't worry. "Chu Ziqiu Duan sat on the Zijin Palace chair, looking down at him. The Fengmei Yaowang accompanied Sikong Yuanji, and he was injured like this. Where did he go and what enemies did he meet? Who would dare to treat him? The elder brother of the new emperor of the Chengtian Empire committed murder.
"The plan has changed, and a decision must be made now! Whether to refuse or agree to the marriage!"
"There are still ten days!" Chu Ziqiu's voice was a bit cold, even if they wanted to compromise, they couldn't lose their courage.
"I'm in charge of the negotiation, I have the final say, you must give me a reply now!" Sikong Yuanji's soul voice became very sharp because of his eagerness.
"You look very anxious, why don't you tell me what happened first?" Chu Lingfeng held back his anger, and his voice was cold with a bit of contempt, and he was so mad that only his soul was left.
Chu Ziqiu and Chu Wanyi looked indifferent, and they were also waiting for his explanation.
Sikong Yuanji is indeed a little anxious now, he rushed back earlier, stopped Lu Yao earlier, held Lu Yao back, if Lu Yao really escaped back to the Heavenly Court, the responsibility would definitely be borne by himself. Even if he could persuade Chu Wanyi to treat himself as a gift, it would be difficult to appease Sikong Yuandao's anger.
Chu Wanyi saw his anxiety, and ordered indifferently: "Lingfeng, send Sikong Yuanji down to cultivate, don't neglect."
Please! "Chu Lingfeng is about to buckle his armor forward."
wait! "Sikong Yuanji's soul fire glanced coldly at Chu Lingfeng, struggled for a while before saying: "You immediately follow me to the Zixiu Forest in the northern border, where there is a Huangwu from the Heavenly Court Era, as long as you can think If you find a way to hold him back, Sikong Yuandao and the Chengtian Empire will thank you, and certain conditions can be renegotiated. ""
Huang Wu of the Heavenly Court Era? who is it! "Chu Ziqiu was even more surprised. In the Heavenly Court era, the spiritual power was poor, and it was not easy to give birth to Huangwu. They were often supreme figures. How could they come here in person. And such figures should be very shrewd, no matter what, they would not directly To deal ruthlessly with someone of status like Sikong Yuanji, not to mention there is still the Fengmei Demon King guarding him. The Fengmei Demon King hastily left, and it seems that he is going to the Chengtian Empire to rescue soldiers."
I'm not sure about my identity yet, and I don't need you to meddle too much. As long as you find a way to hold him back and prevent him from returning to the rift in time and space, you have made great contributions. "
Chu Wanyi and Chu Ziqiu's expressions were slightly cold, the four words 'had made a great contribution' were ironic no matter how they sounded. "
Why is he in northern Xinjiang, and why did he conflict with you, you must give me an accurate answer. "Chu Wanyi wondered if there was anything in northern Xinjiang worthy of the advent of the Huangwu adventure in the Heavenly Court era, and the Fengmei Demon King had sneaked past. At this moment, she suddenly had an adventurous idea that could defeat the Fengmei Demon King's Huangwu adventure. People with spiritual bodies are by no means ordinary people, and those who dare to attack the Fengmei Demon King are even more ruthless, can you...
"Don't ask more questions than you should!"
"Chu Lingfeng, send him back to rest!"
"you… ""
Please! "Chu Lingfeng stood in front of Sikong Yuanji again.
The soul inside A fluctuated violently for a while, and then Sikong Yuan's extremely difficult voice came out: "There is an ancient tomb over there, and a special person is buried there. You will know exactly what it is when you arrive!"
