Qing Hufa clenched his sword and said nothing.
The dark guard looked at him with bright eyes, as if you would take it yourself if you didn't give it to me.
The situation in the hall was on the verge of breaking out, and swords were drawn.
The Green Protector and the White Protector looked at each other. The two had a very tacit understanding. One grabbed one of the Green Protector's hand. How do you call it?"
The dark guard looked at the sword in Hufa Bai's hand, and his breathing increased instantly. He didn't dare to take the sword for a while: "Jiang, Jiang Yao, hold it first, wait for me! Soon!"
Jiang Yao's voice just fell, and he glanced at the sword he was holding in his hand, a sword that was uniformly equipped by the dark guard.
This sword is indeed not bad, but compared with the green feather sword in front of him, which is completely natural and like a treasure in the world, his original sword is the 'wild grass' by the roadside.
Jiang Yao threw the 'wild grass' in his hand to the ground, pulled his blood-stained hand and carefully wiped the front of his shirt, then stretched out his hands and held the Qingyu sword very solemnly.
Jiang Yao's rough hands trembled slightly, and he couldn't help himself for a while, and there were some hot tears in his sunken eye sockets.
Growing up so big, the best sword he has ever seen is the sword of their Beishan Sect Master. The emperor's one is fine too, but that sword is a soft sword, which can be tied around the waist as a belt decoration, it is not hard enough and he doesn't like it.
He likes hard swords!
This green feather sword is upright, cutting iron like mud, it is simply his dream sword, tailored for him.
The young master is indeed the person who understands him the most in the world. He understood him back then, gave him the sword and swordsmanship, and after many years, gave him the sword of love in his dreams.
Jiang Yao looked at Qing Hufa with sincerity on his honest and honest face: "Qing Hufa, don't worry, I, Jiang Yao, will treat it well in the future! If you violate this oath, the sky will be struck by thunder!"
Green Protector: "..."
He pursed his lips, and he couldn't help but want to grab the sword back, and Protector White and Protector Green hurriedly supported him.
Protector Bai said in a low voice, "This person admits death at first sight. Now is not a good situation. You should leave him alone and put your sword there for the time being. You will take care of it in the future."
Lu Hufa also advised: "Bai Hufa is right, and this Qingyu sword was given to you by the palace lord, and the young palace lord gave the sword again, which is only natural."
Green Protector: "??"
Just as he was talking, the door of the palace outside opened, and the queen walked in step by step.
Her eyebrows drooped slightly, and when she looked at the emperor who was stabbed into a sieve, she withdrew her gaze and looked at the four remaining people in the hall: "Just now what this palace said..."
Bai Hufa released Qing Hufa and bowed to the queen: "Don't worry, madam, the three of us didn't hear anything just now. This time, I would like to thank the madam for helping me."
If it wasn't for the empress's words that disturbed the emperor's heart, they might not have succeeded.
The queen smiled slightly: "That's good."
The three major guardians of Xuan Bing were seen by the queen back then. The other party knew the details of each of them, and they had a common enemy, so they were credible.
Then she looked at the other single person.
The man was holding the green feather sword, kneeling on the ground, his hands trembling and his expression excited.
He didn't even notice that the queen had come in.
The queen was silent for a moment.
Wu Weian's letter said that he still had a sword.
It turned out that this man was the sword.
Over the years, the queen has also thought about placing people in the emperor's guards, but each of his guards is carefully selected and has a special source. The queen has never figured it out before, and she doesn't know that the source is Beishan. Sword faction, naturally there is no way to insert it into the eyeliner.
She thought about buying it, but she failed every time afterward. Instead, she exposed her eyeliner and was taken away by the emperor several times.
This person, the queen also knew, but was never on her buying list.
The queen said, "How about you?"
Jiang Yao raised his head: "Huh?"
Empress: "…Did you hear what Ben Gong just said?"
Jiang Yao looked confused: "Ah??"
Did the queen speak
What did you say
It seems that there is, he has been chatting outside the hall, but he was thinking about the Qingyu sword at the time, while guarding the three major guardians, and at the same time looking for an opportunity to kill the emperor.
Queen: "...Forget it."
She bent over, picked up a sword from the ground, and inserted it into her belly without changing her face.
Jiang Yao stared blankly at this scene, kept his kneeling posture, and hurriedly took a few steps back.
So scary, what happened to this queen? Actually stab yourself? !
Sure enough, women are the most difficult to understand in the world, but swords are better, hehe.
Jiang Yao bowed his head and kissed the face of the sword reverently.
Behind, the three guardians were all silent.
Bai Hufa patted Qing Hufa's shoulder: "I will take back what you said earlier, but you still have to take back the heart of Qingyu sword."
Green Protector: "..."
*
On the thirteenth day of the seventh month in the 22nd year of Youchang, the emperor visited Li and was assassinated. The emperor died and Li was seriously injured.
*
Five days later, the prince, with two big black eyes, went to the palace to visit the queen.
In the past five days, he hardly slept his eyes, and he had arranged all the affairs of the court after he was busy.
All the officials are still there, and they all know that the prince is about to ascend to the emperor, and they are very cooperative.
The queen leaned on the bed and looked at the prince: "Is everything okay?"
The prince stretched out his hand and tucked the quilt into the quilt for the mother: "Back to the mother, yes."
Queen: "Let's arrange the enthronement next."
The prince was silent for a moment: "Yes."
The queen looked at him: "What else?"
The prince pursed his lips: "Empress mother, do you think I will be a good emperor?"
The queen smiled and said with certainty, "You will be."
Most of what she said to Qi Wenyu that day was true.
The prince is indeed not Qi Wenyu's blood, nor hers, but the child the palace maid wanted to strangle to death.
That night, her emperor didn't hold back and gasped, so she replaced the palace maid's child in a hurry.
As for the children born by other concubines and Qi Wenyu, sometimes she was in a bad mood, and she was just in a good place at the right time, so she vented her anger.
After all these years, the queen is not very sure, which princes and princesses are the real bloodline and which are the fake bloodline.
The children who had been infected in the palace eventually became similar in temperament, but the prince had always had a good heart.
It's hard to come by.
She has done a lot of wrong things in her life, and her hands are covered with blood. Giving this world a benevolent ruler is also an atonement.
*
In the early morning of the second day, many people gathered at the most lively market in Shangjing, risking the crime of beheading to talk about the biggest thing that happened recently.
People who gossip will gossip even at the risk of death.
"Tell me, who is trying to kill that person?"
"I don't know, the palace is so secretive that I can't find out any news."
"Really? I have a friend who is on duty in the palace. According to him, he is from the Jianghu!"
"The people on the rivers and lakes? Why? Temples and rivers and lakes, haven't the well water never violated the river?"
"Said it was for revenge!"
"!! Seeking revenge?"
"What are you looking for? Little brother, come and listen."
"That's a long story, has the Miao family heard of it?" The man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks asked mysteriously.
Most people in the crowd don't know it, but a few have heard of it: "Miaojiang Gu clan! The people of this clan are very scary. It is said that several villages were slaughtered with Gu worms, but this was all forty years ago. Now, the Miao family was wiped out by the martial arts people, and gradually no one mentioned them. But I have an uncle who is a villager in those villages, so I have always had an impression."
"When you said that, I remembered that the Miao family is too scary."
"But what does this have to do with the Miao family?"
The man said: "This Miao family is a walking worm. Everyone in the rivers and lakes shouts and fights, and everyone can't avoid it when they see it. But ah, the one who secretly changed the name of the Miao family's daughter and hid it there—" The man Pointing in the direction of the harem, "What mother is that girl named Zhu."
Everyone: "!!!"
The man said: "People in the rivers and lakes sneaked in after they knew about it and smeared those pearls—" The man wiped his neck, "The one who has always held grudges about this, has been persecuting those chivalrous men who act for the heavens over the years. The heroes are from the same sect, and the sect is hidden in Qinghe County. That one took advantage of the flood and sent a lot of guards in disguise to kill these heroes!"
"This is too unreasonable! How can you do this while the flood is in??"
"For a Miao family woman, he actually did such a thing? I thought he was a benevolent person before, I was really blind!"
"How is it possible, this is too incredible! Aren't you talking nonsense?!"
The man said: "I have nothing to say, this is what my friends in the palace told me. Every sentence I said is from the bottom of my heart. If you don't believe me, I won't say it! I'm just talking about it for no reason. I won't charge you any money!"
"It's impossible, little brother, say more. What else can your friend say?"
"Don't listen if you don't believe it! Just go! No one is stopping you and forcing you to listen!"
"That's right, and what this little brother said is true. I have an aunt in Qinghe County, and she also mentioned in her letter that when Qinghe County was flooded, there were indeed gangsters hiding among the masses to kill people! It's all right! It's absolutely true!"
There was an old man standing in the crowd. He was a famous storyteller in the city.
These days, the old stories are almost the same, and no one comes to the teahouse.
Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up.
That night he went back to pick up a pen and write a story.
The male protagonist named Bai Shan and the female protagonist Miao Zhu based on that one, write a love story between them that is not allowed by the world.
Soon, this book became a big hit in Shangjing, and the old storyteller felt a little scared afterwards.
He was afraid that he would cause trouble, but he didn't expect that no one would trouble him at all.
Some people even paid money and changed his book into a drama.
The opera continued to become popular, and the empress dowager in the palace loved it very much.
This book has been passed down from generation to generation, and everyone who has heard it and read it can't help but curse.
Knowing that the Bai Shan inside was based on Emperor Youchang, he dragged the emperor out to whip the corpse from time to time.
