"Are you really okay?"
At the alley where the phoenix trees fell, Ding Ning looked at Xue Wangxu suspiciously and asked.
"Of course there is no problem. You usually go home every day when you practice in Baiyang Cave. Now that you have been away from home for a long time, why don't you go back soon when you arrive at the door? What's more, even if you want to stay with me, you have to give me something personal. Time." Xue Wangxu said softly.
Ding Ning thought about it, but still didn't move immediately.
"Don't look like you won't be able to see me again after tonight." Xue Wangxu said with some headaches: "There really won't be any problems."
Ding Ning nodded and said calmly, "You just remember what you promised."
"Could it be that I have lived such an old age, and I still have to deceive a child who is just getting started like you?"
Xue Wangxu waved his hand angrily and amusingly, signaling Ding Ning to get out of here.
Ding Ning didn't say anything more, and bowed silently.
Xue Wangxu also stopped looking at Ding Ning and turned to leave.
The moon is in the middle of the sky.
Xue Wangxu didn't intend to go back to Baiyang Cave, but just walked along the straight street towards the center of Changling.
The center of the Changling Mausoleum is where the Imperial Palace is located.
The earth-yellow palace walls are not majestic in the cold winter night, and not even an obvious defender can be seen on the gate tower. However, just as he stepped onto a boundary bridge at the outermost edge of the imperial palace, a Taoist in Tsing Yi came from the sky and landed in front of Xue Wangxu.
"Xue Wangxu in Baiyang Cave, please see Her Royal Highness the Queen."
Xue Wangxu saluted the Tsing Yi Taoist calmly and said softly.
In the middle of the night when the palace gates are already closed, it is very unruly to ask to see the queen, but this Taoist in Tsing Yi just raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said: "Senior Xue, wait a moment, I will report."
There was even some genuine respect in his words.
Because a practitioner who has crossed the seven realms is worthy of the respect of any practitioner, and indeed has the qualifications to make such a request.
The Taoist in Tsing Yi flew away, and Xue Wangxu stood alone in front of the empty palace, looking very lonely.
However, the Tsing Yi Taoist didn't make him wait for a long time, or in other words, the woman in the really high position didn't need to pretend to be majestic at all.
In just a moment, the Taoist in Tsing Yi flew back in front of him and said: "The queen has agreed, come with me."
Without going any sideways, the heavy main entrance of the palace slowly opened a line to let Taoist in Tsing Yi and Xue Wangxu pass.
…
The queen was not in the study room where she often stayed. She was standing on the stone path lined with bronze figurines on both sides.
Behind her stood two stunning maids, but just like any time, her dazzling beauty made any woman standing with her dim.
She quietly looked at Xue Wangxu who was approaching, there was no emotion in her perfect pupils.
When Xue Wangxu saw her for the first time, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.
Because it is too perfect, it seems a little unreal.
Because it is too dazzling, it looks a bit scorching.
When he was thirty steps away from her, Xue Wangxu paused, then bowed deeply, and said, "See Her Majesty the Queen."
The queen looked at Xue Wangxu with white beard and hair indifferently, there was still no special emotion on his perfect face, "Excuse me."
Xue Wangxu nodded.
He didn't describe his reason for coming, but kept his head bowed in humility. However, there was a strange change in his body, as if there were countless things that already existed in his body, and they were about to be completely removed from his body. Fly out, fly to the very high sky.
"stop."
At this moment, the queen looked at him peacefully and said.
Xue Wangxu stopped, and all the abnormal aura in his body disappeared.
"Why?"
There was finally a trace of special emotion in the perfect eyes of the queen, and she asked with some doubts: "For a practitioner like you, cultivation is more important than life. Without cultivation, what do you do with your life?"
Xue Wangxu replied quietly: "I want to see the Minshan Sword Festival in the coming year... Please allow me the Queen's permission."
"You have your own way of doing things. Changling is so big, can I still have room for you?" The queen looked at him without any hesitation and said slowly: "Your request, I will naturally agree, but I don't want you to use it." To request in this way, you must do something for me."
Xue Wangxu was slightly surprised, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The queen looked at him quietly and said, "Teach Liang Lian a lesson for me."
Xue Wangxu didn't raise his head, but frowned slightly, waiting for a peaceful answer.
At this moment, the queen continued slowly: "Take the boy who has been with you these days."
Xue Wangxu was startled suddenly, and an endless chill surged in his heart. He suddenly raised his head, looked at the queen's flawless face, and asked, "Why?"
The questions and answers of the two are extremely simple, but they can completely understand each other's meaning.
Hearing Xue Wangxu's question, the queen said: "Because that young man's performance has been good so far, I have the same attitude towards every Daqin practitioner, and I also hope that every practitioner will put Daqin as the most important thing." The perception when he was young may determine this person's life. Since even I think that young man's performance is good, he is likely to become a useful talent for Daqin in the future, so I don't want him to treat me, And even have any prejudice against the entire palace."
"In the simplest terms, I don't want him to hate me."
The queen looked at the bronze figurines on both sides of the stone road, and said in a calm but undisguised tone: "So I don't want him to think that you are using the method of self-abolition to ask for the Minshan Sword Club to survive next year. But I also want him to know respect and manners, so I want you to take him with you."
Xue Wangxu looked at her perfect face without much emotion, knowing that the matter would never turn around, he took a deep breath, nodded seriously, "I was negligent, the Queen's Highness's arrangement is indeed for him. Also the best."
The queen said no more, turned around and walked towards the study behind her.
Xue Wangxu looked at her perfect back and couldn't help thinking in his heart, so you are more cruel than I imagined.
The queen seemed to be able to feel Xue Wangxu's inner voice, but she didn't care.
She's also well aware that many people think she's cold.
However, governing the country itself is a cruel thing.
There is order in cruel laws.
…
…
The grandson Qianxue sat quietly on the bed with all her clothes on, looked at Ding Ning who had finished washing and changed into clean clothes, and asked, "What do you guys do with Feng Qianzhuo?"
Ding Ning, who was still waiting for her to speak, whether she wanted to practice double cultivation or lie obediently on his bed, was taken aback for a moment, and asked curiously, "How did you think of asking this question?"
"Because I don't like Feng Qianzhuo very much." Changsun Qianxue glanced at Ding Ning, motioned him to go back to his bed and sit down, and at the same time continued coldly: "At that time, Emperor Yuanwu led the army to personally conquer the Bashan Sword Field. Zhuo was one of the disciples of Bashan Sword Field who surrendered at the first time. Surrender is surrender, even if you sell some secrets of Bashan Sword Field's magic circle, it's nothing. After all, every Qin people has different ideas about the internal conquest of the Great Qin Dynasty. , but when he turned against each other, he also said a lot of false and bad things to slander Bashan Sword Field, those words are simply foul people's ears."
"But these dirty words spread a lot, and others will believe them." Ding Ning sneered, and said, "But this time, he finally paid a price. He was hit by Xue Wangxu's sword, even if he was injured. If he can do well, his cultivation will be greatly damaged, and the injuries to his internal organs will prevent him from living for a few years."
The eldest grandson Qianxue seemed not satisfied with the result, thought for a while, and said, "I'll just kill him after a while?"
Ding Ning suddenly made a bitter face, and said: "We have only been to Zhushan County, and now you are so excited, you just go and kill him. Aren't you attracting suspicious eyes to me?"
Changsun Qianxue frowned, and only after hearing Ding Ning's words did she feel that something was wrong.
"There are so many people to be killed, how can it be possible to kill them all at once."
Ding Ning muttered, but suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly became serious.
He opened his mouth to say something, but his eyes were full of hesitation.
The eldest grandson Qianxue didn't look at him, but she could feel his emotions, so she said a little displeased: "Say it quickly."
"There is someone who can be killed, and he may have what I want." Ding Ning pondered.
Changsun Qianxue said, "Who?"
Ding Ning said seriously: "Nangong is injured."
The eldest grandson Qianxue thought about it for a long time before she remembered the name: "A disciple of the Sword House in Bashan Sword Field?"
Ding Ning nodded, "Compared to Feng Qianzhuo, you should hate him more. Because he not only stole many famous swords from Bashan Sword Field in advance, but also destroyed two important magic circles in Bashan Sword Field. He also said a lot of nasty things."
After a pause, Ding Ning added softly: "The most important thing is that he is in Changling."
Changsun Qianxue said happily, "Where is he in Changling?"
"Like Xue Wangxu, you have endured it for a long time, and you are just a beginner in swordsmanship. If you are not allowed to use a sword, it will be detrimental to your future practice and may cause trouble. This is why I decided to tell you this person The real reason is that even if it is revenge, killing people is not something to be happy about." Ding Ning looked at the beautiful figure of Changsun Qianxue through the curtain, and said slowly: "First of all, I want you to promise me, you have to promise that you will absolutely Be safe and never let anyone find out you've been there."
The eldest grandson Qianxue was a little impatient, and said slightly angrily: "I was too lazy to use my brain, so you arrange it."
Ding Ning nodded, and said: "Okay, I will ask Wang Taixu to make arrangements tomorrow."
Only then did Changsun Qianxue remember something, and said coldly: "Wang Taixu came to you a few days ago and said that he has almost done what you want him to do."
Ding Ning's body shook slightly, and there was surprise in his eyes.
"Is there anything you need in Nangongshang?" Changsun Qianxue glanced at him and asked, "Is it something from Bashan Sword Field?"
"It's not something from Bashan Sword Field, it's a recipe from their Nangong family." Ding Ning explained softly: "Their Nangong family was in charge of medicinal food in Bashan Sword Field before. I need their prescription of Wuyang Dan."
