62. Crash(1/2)
In Yanjing City, the chaos has not yet subsided.
The tide of spiritual energy that surged on the edge of Qilu land swept over 500 miles, including the entire Yanjing.
Although the time is still short and has not triggered large-scale supernatural powers, during the erosion of spiritual energy for more than twenty hours, there have been incidents of resentful spirits haunted in several charity villages outside the city.
Some places in the city that are not very auspicious and have died many people, such as around the city walls, have also appeared some things that make the people afraid of.
Even in the imperial city, there was a ghost story about resentful spirits seeking their lives.
It scared a small king very much.
After all, he is a child. Even though he is wise and courageous, he is still scared when he sees the legendary resentment with his own eyes.
However, with the National Master Zhang Chu in charge here, there was not much chaos in the imperial city.
He also practiced with the holy fire, just like a small iron.
Although he does not show his magic on weekdays, if he really wants to act seriously, he can summon a trace of holy fire to fight the enemy. That thing can burn all the clones of the Hongchen Lord and use them to deal with weak ghosts, so he is naturally easy to capture.
After the spiritual tide dissipated, the tranquility inside and outside the imperial city quickly returned to peace.
The little king finally got a good night's sleep.
The king has not yet got married, and the young man should pay attention to his health and should not indulge in excessive lust. Since the young lady has been in charge of her, no palace maid dares to dream of being pregnant with a dragon son and jumping onto the branch to become a phoenix.
He mumbled and turned over on the dragon couch.
The full boy slept and kicked the quilt away. Perhaps he felt thirsty, so he called out in a daze.
The next moment, a cup of water was handed to the little king.
The water temperature was moderate and it exuded a sweet aroma of tea. Yelu Jienan took it and drank a sip. He thought it was Ade who was serving him, but after drinking the water, he saw it clearly.
The one who handed him the water cup was Zhang Chu.
The national master sat on the chair beside the bed, closing his eyes, as if regulating his breathing and true energy. He raised his left hand and the water cup was suspended in the air, and was gently activated and landed on the table next to him.
The little king was startled.
He hurriedly sat up and said to Zhang Chu:
"Why don't the national teacher go to rest?"
"Well, don't worry, lord, I heard that the lord was disturbed by those sinister things, so I came to guard it."
Zhang Chu opened his eyes.
The strange-colored pupils reflected a very strange light in the lights in the room.
He said warmly to the little king:
"With me here, all evil spirits will not invade you. Your Majesty can have a good sleep. At this time, there are also people from Tongwu Cult and Seven Quest Sects inside and outside the city. They search for supernatural powers everywhere and burn them with fire to drive away evil spirits.
The capital is as stable as Mount Tai, so the king doesn’t have to worry.”
"oh."
Yelu Jienan nodded.
He didn't care about these things. It didn't matter to him that the national squad mobilized troops. Anyway, he had already made up his mind to treat Zhang Chu as if he were happy.
But to be honest, Zhang Chu treated him much happier than he was.
That day, in Xishan Manor, he killed the joy of resurrection in front of Yelu Jienan. The man's skull is still in the Hall of Peace of Heart.
And since then, the two made an agreement.
The small king did not interfere with Zhang Chu's military affairs, and Zhang Chu did not interfere with the king's actions in the court to boost people's livelihood. Over the past few months, the two of them cooperated very well.
Neither of each other was leaping into the thunder pool.
This made the little king's impression of Zhang Chu much better.
He felt that Zhang Chu might indeed be a bad person, but it seemed not as bad as he thought.
At this time, the king was lying in the bed, watching Zhang Chu sitting next to him, with his back to regulate his breathing and true energy. In the whole room, there were only the king and the king.
In the silence, the little king blinked.
He suddenly said:
"National Master, aren't you lonely? You said you came to protect me at night. In fact, you don't want to be alone and want someone around you who can talk?"
"Um?"
Zhang Chu didn't open his eyes, he said in surprise:
"Why does the king think so?"
"Because I did the same before."
Yelu Jienan simply stopped sleeping. He sat up cross-legged and said to Zhang Chu;
"At that time, I was still young, and everything in the court was controlled by the evil thieves. Although I had a title of lord, I was actually under house arrest in the palace. Only my sister could come to see me every day.
At that time, I was very afraid of sleeping alone.
It was like I was the only one in the darkness, and shadows surged everywhere, as if there were people whispering in those dark nights. During that time, I had to light a candlelight every night before I could only sleep.
Now looking at the national teacher, it seems to be very similar to me at the beginning.”
"Haha, the king was joking."
Zhang Chu shook his head and said:
"I am a warrior. I have mastered all martial arts and are not afraid of darkness."
"I didn't say you're afraid of the dark."
The little king shrugged.
He said:
"Actually, I'm also observing the national teacher these days. There seem to be many people around you.
Even if you don’t become a national master, you are still the leader of the Seven Secretariat Sect. With a command, 100,000 demon soldiers will charge for you.
I have also seen you chatting and laughing with those demon sects, but although you have a smile on your face, you are not actually laughing. It's like you are alone even when you stand in the crowd.
I occasionally laugh when I see you, and it is also when I am with Wuming. Now, Wuming has been sent by the national master to do things, and there is no one around the national master who can speak.
National Master, you must be very lonely, right?"
"No, I have a younger brother."
Zhang Chu seemed to refute and said:
"I grew up with him and I have an uncle who is very nice to me."
"But I think Wuming is like the younger brother whom the national teacher really treats with sincerity."
Yelu Jienan said in surprise:
"And the national teacher, you said you are not lonely, but look, now you said to me that there are only three people who are remembered by you. If there are only three friends, if there are only three people.
That must be very lonely.”
Zhang Chu was speechless by the words of the Xiaoguo President.
He was silent for a few breaths and said:
"The king is still young and doesn't understand these things. For us, it's already a pity to have three trustworthy friends in our lives."
"but"
The little king wants to say.
He wanted to say that Shen Qiu was not like this. Although he had only met Shen Qiu once, when he occasionally heard the news about the world, he also knew that Shen Qiu had many brothers and friends around him.
Even if he betrays the right way, many people believe in him and follow him.
But Yelu Jienan was rational and did not continue to speak.
He could feel that the national teacher in front of him had a complicated sense of Shen Qiu, and they were definitely not friends with each other.
The little king pursed his lips.
He changed the topic and said:
"I saw a memorial this morning. The military headquarters was requesting food and grass allocation. The scale was very large and far exceeding the national army needed for an ordinary war. Are you planning to make a big fight?"
"Um."
Zhang Chu did not hide it either.
He said warmly:
"The time has come. If everything goes well, in a few months, there will be no southern country in this world. Zhang also knew that the king of the country was in Yanjing City and had some "friends".
I think the king probably won’t reveal this news in person, right?”
"No, no."
Yelu Jienan shook her head.
