In the morning light, a goshawk suddenly retracted its wings high in the sky, and fell down like a meteorite. However, at a certain height, it suddenly spread its wings again, gliding at an astonishing speed, almost sticking to some yellow eaves, and grazing into the Changling Mausoleum. In the depths of the palace.
It is rare for goshawks to fly in such a thrilling way in nature. The Daqin Imperial Palace is also difficult for birds to pass through. The practitioners guarding the palace will not let the birds fly freely in the palace.
However, the feathers of this goshawk were a little vermilion, which was not the normal color in nature.
All practitioners in the Great Qin Palace also knew that this goshawk came from the emperor's close servant.
Among the cabinet, the four cabinet elders waited excitedly and uneasy.
It has been three days since the end of the Lushan League. In these three days, there have been a steady stream of military reports related to the Lushan League that have been sent to the palace. In addition, Mo Shoucheng and Pan Ruoye have returned to the palace. Second only to the existence of the two prime ministers, they already knew the glorious victory of the Great Qin Dynasty in the Lushan League.
But at this moment, most people in Changling City don't know the news, and are still waiting for the news of the Lushan League.
It's just that when to announce this news and what kind of rhetoric to announce, you must wait for the holy will to decide.
What will Changling look like after such news is announced
And they now know that Li Xiang followed the saint to Lushan, and the queen and Yan Xiang went to Yangshan County. At this time, they should all be on their way back to Changling. In a sense, Changling at this time is indeed An empty city.
The excited and uneasy waiting finally came to fruition. Not long after the goshawk darted into the palace, a ceremony official appeared in front of them with a bright yellow silk scroll.
The four elders began to write vigorously.
One order after another, the order continued to spread out of the palace.
The sound of singing promises continued to resound in the deep palace.
Shouts and cheers of surprise sounded out, and Changling began to seething.
With the continuous announcement of shocking news, Changling's long-standing depression was swept away.
The farmer's hoe hit his toe, the cook's kitchen knife cut his finger, and the porter on the springboard fell into the icy river between the boats... Almost all Changling people lost their minds, and almost all Changling people put down their hands. The work began to flock to the streets and alleys, shouting long live.
Yangshan County has been taken back by the powerful Daqin army.
Not only Yangshan County, but even Wushan and Lushan, which were handed over from Qin to Chu, belonged to Daqin.
This is a real national jubilation.
Even the red-eyed gamblers in Changling's underground casino walked out of the dark gambling house. When they saw the sun again, their eyes hurt and tears shed, and at the same time they heard the news that came to their ears, they became excited and their minds became dizzy. Slightly sober, these gamblers burst into tears again when they thought about what they had lost and what they had done in the casino these days.
The underground gambling hall has also become deserted and quiet.
In a quiet room in the depths of one of the underground gambling houses, Zhao Si, who was still wearing men's clothes, listened quietly to the sound of Shan Huan live coming into his ears, and to the wailing of gamblers in the alley outside. , she couldn't help thinking of her master, the man who opened up Zhao Jianlu with one person's strength, and the man who prevented the Daqin army from entering the city with one person's strength.
At this time she felt a little helpless.
…
Even during the Chinese New Year, there has never been such a huge sound of cheers and shouts of long live, and perhaps it has never been seen in the entire history of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The sound that reverberated violently over and over again shook off a lot of dust from the eaves, spread to many exceptionally secluded places, and even made the streets and alleys and the water in the Wei River tremble slightly.
In the innermost cell of the Great Floating Water Prison, which is the most heavily guarded in Changling, some dark chains firmly locked a person who did not look like a human being at all.
The black, with a layer of strange silver fluorescent water flooded to his chest, and the dark chains were like water plants growing in disorder in the water, shuttling in the water around his body, without even having any contact with his body. any real contact.
However, these dark chains are like powerful runes, firmly locking this space, and the powerful power even changes the nature of the water in this water area.
These waters have become extremely cold, chilling deep into the bone marrow.
His hair was entangled like an old dishcloth that hadn't been washed for many years, covering most of his body, hanging down into the water below, and his occasionally exposed skin was full of various growths. Ringworm, and no flesh and blood can be seen, as if there are dry bones under the skin.
Such an appearance is no longer considered a human being, yet he feels like a human being, because his aura is that of a human being.
Some people, no matter what they look like, even if their facial features are blurred, it's just a kind of temperament, which will make everyone feel that they are more human than most people in the world.
"I don't understand what are you waiting for?"
Shen Xuan stood on a stepping stone by the water, looked at the stone under his feet with heavy eyelids, and said slowly: "Would you ever be satisfied with the result today?"
No news came to this cell, and Shen Xuan didn't mention any news about the Lushan League to this person, but he knew that just by some sounds and vibrations, this person was enough to know what happened.
Because this man is recognized as the number one military strategist in the world and the smartest person.
He is Lin Zhujiu.
"Come closer, and I'll tell you if I'm satisfied today."
A joking voice sounded from the water and entered Shen Xuan's ear.
Shen Xuan frowned slightly, and he slightly raised his head to look at the person in the water, but he didn't take a step towards the stepping stone ahead.
"I didn't even dare to take a step forward. I was worried that I would fall into some of my schemes, and I wanted to use this opportunity to mess with my mind." The water was no longer like a human being, just like a messy aquatic plant growing in the water , but Lin Zhujiu, who gave anyone the feeling of being an arrogant person, laughed: "Don't you think this is a ridiculous thing?"
Shen Xuan was silent for a moment, and said: "It's ridiculous, but I'm on the rock, but you are in the water."
Lin Zhujiu smiled and said: "One moment, that moment, maybe someday you will be submerged in the water, and I will watch you from above."
Shen Xuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, said: "Is this possible?"
Lin Zhujiu nodded seriously and said, "It should be soon."
Shen Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he remained silent for a while.
"Only prisoners have been threatened by prison officials, but I have never heard of prison officials being threatened by prisoners." Lin Zhujiu laughed again, "But I am in a good mood today, so I can tell you something."
Shen Xuan looked at Lin Zhujiu with an ugly expression. He had been in the Dafushui Prison for so many years, so he knew Lin Zhujiu very well. He certainly didn't think that Lin Zhujiu would tell him anything useful.
However, Lin Zhujiu said, "Liling Monarch's Mansion is over."
Shen Xuan's breathing suddenly stopped, and a strange flame shot out from his eyes instantly.
"It may be too late to send troops to protect the Liling Lord's Mansion now, otherwise, the Liling Lord's Mansion will completely disappear in Changling today." Lin Zhujiu then said slowly: "No matter how much Yuan Wu gained in Lushan Victory, but the Chu Zhizi Mansion cannot be destroyed just because it is said to be destroyed, and the covenant has just been made, so it will naturally give face to the three dynasties."
Shen Xuan narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Who will destroy the Liling Monarch's Mansion at this time?"
Lin Zhujiu moved slightly, glanced at Shen Xuan, and said: "The significance of Yangshan County to the vast majority of people in Changling is not only humiliation, but also deep-seated hatred. You should not forget the Daqin soldiers who died in that battle Most of them are from Changling and Guanzhong.”
"With victory comes catharsis."
After a pause, Lin Zhujiu continued in a mocking voice: "When you feel that your opponent may not be strong, you can control your venting, but when you feel that your opponent has been defeated, this kind of venting will often get out of control. "
Shen Xuan thought about the words, his chest became colder and colder, but he still shook his head, "This has nothing to do with my duty."
"How is it irrelevant?"
Lin Zhuojiu's voice was full of jokes: "You were led astray by me from the beginning... You were just taken by me, and you heard me say that the Liling Monarch's Mansion would be destroyed. You never thought that I was in Liling The Lord's Mansion has been imprisoned here before, and I may not even know that there is a Chu Zhizi, so how do I know that there is the Liling Lord's Mansion?"
Shen Xuan's body shook violently, and his face suddenly turned pale.
In recent years, except for a few people, no one has been able to see Lin Zhujiu, and when those few people were present, he was almost always present, so it was impossible to mention Li Lingjun's affairs.
How can he know
"I can read minds."
As soon as the water sounded, Lin Zhujiu raised his head, his tangled hair was splashed with water, "I can see what's hidden in a person's heart from his eyes, and it's the same with you, so this is my In the past, he was invincible in all battles, predicted the enemy's opportunity, and knew the secrets of people's thoughts."
Shen Xuan fell into a huge shock.
But after a few breaths, he became angry.
"How could there be any mind-reading skills in the world!"
"You want to attack your heart!"
"Do you think I will be affected by your words!"
His angry voice echoed in the water dungeon.
Lin Zhujiu just looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course mind-reading skills don't exist, but you think you can have a good death? Do you think it's as Yuan Wu thought, everything is under his control?"
As usual, Shen Xuan felt inexplicable fear again.
Some of Lin Zhujiu's words are absurd, but sometimes he just admits the absurdity, but the following words often penetrate people's hearts like cold needles.
The most important thing is that in the past many years, many things Lin Zhujiu said have become facts one after another.
As usual, Shen Xuan turned around and left the cell without saying a word.
