Chapter 3 Women's Crown(1/2)
In Songjing City, Dongcheng is mostly home to the nobles, princes and nobles. The busiest time in the city is the morning court every day. Before the sky is bright, you can see the grand occasion of cars and sedan chairs in this city.
The minister gave way to the Secretary of State, the Secretary gave way to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister gave way to the Prince. Under the busy traffic, there were always some such rules operating, making the busy urban areas seem orderly in chaos.
Li Xun shrank in the shadows in the corner of the wall and looked at all this coldly. He was only five feet away from the nearest wheel. However, the elite warriors on both sides of the car never looked here. Even if they looked, they would only see a normal shadow of the high wall.
The Mingxin Sword Sect’s forbidden pattern technique can be regarded as a dark bead when used on these mortals!
The traffic flow took half an hour to dissipate. Li Xun then stood up, peered at the right direction, walked over to the corner of the wall, and the shadow of the high-walled courtyard was his best cover.
He walked through several streets silently, and the familiar and unfamiliar feeling surrounded him. The seemingly true and unfamiliar memories of his childhood caused some trouble to him. However, after a stick of incense, he finally arrived at his destination - Fuwang Mansion.
This is the capital city house that the emperor rewards to the Blessed King. It is also one of the best luxury in the entire Dongcheng. Just the slave who stands tall in front of the gate can make the courageous person shorter.
"Here I'm back..."
Looking at the gate of Prince Fu's Mansion from afar, Li Xun felt mixed emotions. But all the feelings only started to turn a little wave and then settled back into his heart.
At the critical moment of life and death, thinking about these things always seems nonsense!
Suddenly, he frowned and stopped. He was not worried about the servant who was guarding the door, but the discomfort suddenly arises in his body, which makes him feel astonished.
Blood Nightmare is moving!
It was more than two hours before the Daily Blood Nightmare Devouring Heart, and it began to get a little restless! Moreover, this was under the suppression of Yu Bixie!
Li Xun even felt that Blood Nightmare seemed to be coming!
It seemed to resonate with something outside and slowly opened its "eyes".
This sudden change made Li Xun's scalp numb. Without thinking, he turned around and fled out, running seven or eight streets before stopping.
Blood Nightmare has returned to normal again.
Li Xun stroked his chest and couldn't speak.
In fact, his actions were ridiculous! Wasn’t he coming back this time to find Xue San people to go to that ten-year agreement to relieve the pain of blood nightmare? Why did he run away with his head in his arms?
This is because, on the one hand, he never had any confidence in Xue Sanren; on the other hand, he felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart at this moment!
It was completely out of the rational deduction, but I was afraid of the upcoming ending from the bottom of my heart.
He looked at the Fu Palace again, and didn't know if he had any illusion. He felt that in the morning light that was gradually revealed, the sky above the palace was covered with a layer of blood-colored mist, and there seemed to be countless innocent souls rippling and howling inside.
He shivered, and when he looked again, he only saw a faint red light coming out of the sunset.
Even so, he felt that the little courage he had finally accumulated disappeared at that moment.
He rushed into the distance as if he was fleeing.
The snow this year came very late, and it was not until a few days before the winter solstice that it fell unwillingly. The entire Songkung Capital was buried in the snow, and the temperature plummeted. I don’t know how many beggars were frozen to death in the streets and alleys of Kyoto’s southern city.
It would be fine if it was on weekdays, just find a few officials to clean up and throw them out of the city.
But today, we must not be so rash.
Before dawn, Jingzhao Yin personally led the team and cooperated with Jinwuwei, and swept the entire Nancheng from beginning to end more than three times like casting a net to catch fish.
When he encountered a dead body that had been frozen, he immediately dragged it outside the city and buried it carefully. When he saw some people in the martial arts world, he took the people without saying a word. In just two or three hours, the huge southern city was cleaned up like an imperial city and was heavily guarded.
Any idle people wandering on the streets were taken back to prison by the yamen runners. As for the common people, they were blocked by the Jinwu Guards and could not travel at will.
Is this... the emperor going out?
Li Xun stood in the shadow and made a guess. In his memory, he seemed to have seen such a scene. I guess it will be the winter solstice tomorrow. I think it is the emperor who is going to the southern suburbs to worship the sky!
How solemn is the ritual of worshiping heaven in the human world? Even the nine-five masters must check in the southern suburbs early, burn incense and shower, quit the sound and color, eat in vegetarian food for several days to show sincerity.
Emperor Longqing was so sad that he hurried to go the day before the winter solstice. In the prosperous forbidden palace, there was no need to think about any fasting.
Is the absurdity of the emperors on earth reaching this point?
But this thought flashed through his mind, and his troubles had not been resolved yet. How could he have the leisure to care about the royal affairs?
What bothers him now is that because the emperor travels, the whole city is martial law, and people like him who have no way to guide him and who are unknown, will be indefinitely unreasonable if they encounter an official family. Therefore, his actions have been greatly affected.
In desperation, he had to start playing hide-and-seek with the soldiers all over the city, trying to avoid those tightly guarded streets and linger in some inconspicuous corners.
It has been more than a month since the disaster on Tiandu Peak. During these more than thirty days, Li Xun has been wandering around Songjing. Except for the first day, he was thinking about going to Fu Prince's Mansion to try his luck, the rest of the time he hid in the southern city, thinking hard about the perfect solution.
However, how can there be so many perfect solutions in this world?
The foundation of all strategies is based on the comparison of strength between the two sides. If the strength gap between the two sides is not large, it may be made up by strategy. However, if there is a huge difference in strength, it is simply a swaying tree. Even if there are thousands of strategies, what's the use?
Li Xun and Xue Sanren are the difference between a croaker and a big tree. No matter how he plans, as long as Xue Sanren is willing, one finger can twist him to death! Such a gap is no longer something that strategy can make up for.
Li Xun didn't understand this reality, but his current mentality was purely like a gambler. When he lost only the last chip, he bet on the most unlikely square, trying to win back all the lost before.
In addition to the despair that has no way out, he is also trying his best to gain plenty of time this year - there is still a "long" time left before the ten-year promise of Xue Sanren.
After passing a team of soldiers who were patrolling, Li Xun walked out of the shadows on the street corner, looking at the soldiers' backs, with expressionless expression on his face.
At this time, his outfit was no longer the same as ragged. In the past month, he has made money with his ability to go all the way.
People's psychology is so strange. Although Li Xun cannot be qualified as a "gentleman", he is also from a wealthy family after all, and he has always looked down upon theft. However, after the first day of the first day of the lunar month, he has the fifteenth day of the people's inner limits, and people's inner limits are often just a breakthrough and can no longer be controlled.
This is true for Li Xun. The first time he stole was a helpless move. He just wanted to find some broken silver and a good piece of clothing to cover his body. However, when he got unprecedented stimulation and benefits from theft, it was too late to control him.
However, in one month, he committed crimes everywhere in the capital. Although he didn't get much silver, he often went straight into other people's inner houses and took whatever they lacked, which was more comfortable than in his own backyard.
Now Li Xun dresses up and down, looks like a noble young man with a Shu embroidered brocade robe and pearls and jade belts. When he was dressed up like this, he was as natural as breathing in his childhood. Even now, he doesn’t feel embarrassed.
The Qingyu Sword was hidden in a hidden place by him, so that he would not attract the war of soldiers.
After walking around Nancheng, he still couldn't find a better place to stay. All public places such as inns and restaurants were checked over and over by yamen runners and soldiers. As long as there is no road guide or valid proof, they will be sent to the officials for investigation.
This forced Li Xun to wander around the city like a wandering soul. Seeing that it was getting dark, he had already begun to consider whether to check the looser Xicheng or Beicheng and find a place to rest for a night.
While measuring, the entire Nancheng suddenly became noisy, and chaos was concentrated in a few blocks. Li Xun happened to be wrapped inside. He saw the opportunity very quickly, and his figure flashed and he hid in the shadow.
It was only a few dozen breaths, and the crowds on these streets suddenly became dense. A large number of civilians gathered here, crowding on both sides of the street, and in front was a wall of humans formed by the fully armed Jinwu Guard.
At first, Li Xun couldn't understand it, but after seeing the helpless or lively expression on the people's faces, he suddenly realized it.
This is the official article!
I think these people are all used to do things like "Long Live Three Calls"!
After being squeezed by this abortion, Li Xun could no longer hide his body, so he simply showed up and merged into the abortion, which did not attract the attention of Jinwu Guard.
He was quick to hear the sounds in the distance, as if the emperor's ceremonial guard was approaching. After a while, even ordinary people heard the rumbling "Long Live" sound.
I don’t know who hit the head, but the people on both sides knelt down. Li Xun also frowned and followed the action, but he always felt a little uncomfortable.
As the guard of ceremonies approached, the sound of "Long Live" sounded one after another, and the crowd began to get a little turmoil. Some people wanted to straighten up and see clearly. The Jinwu Guard in front immediately raised his spear and halberd, and suddenly sounded, effectively suppressing the chaos and buzzing. However, he could not stop it.
There were many people around Li Xun talking about how the emperor looked like, how auspicious he was around him, etc., all of which were ignorant words that made people laugh.
But there are still some people who talk about the emperor, including rumors about the harem, interesting things about the court, and some emperors' preferences. It is a bit ridiculous to spread the word on the streets and alleys, but it sounds interesting.
During the more than a month when Li Xun was lying in Songjing, he did not just think hard every day, but also went to restaurants and other places to relax in his spare time.
He had long heard that the emperor believed in alchemy and had awarded Taoist priests from all walks of life in recent years. He was extremely generous to those masters who were known to be able to refine "immortal pills".
I heard that it was because two years ago, I had a very powerful national teacher who called the wind and rain, sprinkled beans into soldiers, and could do everything. I also said that he could refine the medicine of immortality and had a wonderful method of invading all evil. This kind of image is simply a must-have demonic appearance around the tyrant!
Thinking of the so-called princes and grandchildren who saw them when they were young, and looking at the current emperor's various actions, Li Xun sneered in his heart.
However, what really made him curious was that the legendary master was not a Taoist priest, but a young woman, and was born with a beautiful appearance, capping the capital. This made the story of "the emperor's alchemy" a little more erotic and light.
The female national teacher? Li Xun's curiosity was completely aroused.
"Long live!"
Uneven praises sounded, and then soon formed a torrent. For a moment, the street was filled with "Long Live" sounds. This section of the street had passed in front of the ceremonial war. The canopy behind it was raised high, and the bright yellow color was very conspicuous.
Li Xun had sharp eyes. At first glance, he knew that there was a pale blue tassel treasure beside the canopy that symbolized the imperial power, which was no less gorgeous than the canopy of the emperor.
According to the custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the emperor goes on a patrol, except for the queen who can accompany him on a phoenix chariot, all ministers will follow him on foot. Just look at the color of the treasure trove, you will know that he is not the queen, but who can be on par with the emperor?
"The National Master's Daluo Qing Miao Umbrella..."
"Is the national teacher here too?"
The crowd was a little surging, but it was a subtle expectation for the rumored female national teacher.
During the small riot, the emperor's dragon chariot had passed by. Unexpectedly, in order to maintain the majesty and mystery of the emperor, or for safety reasons, only a vague figure could be seen behind the dense gauze curtain. At first glance, there was nothing surprising.
Under the Daluo Baocun, which fell several steps behind the dragon chariot, the figure was much more charming than the emperor's old man, so everyone on the street turned their attention there.
Li Xun also looked over curiously.
At the sight, it was still a layer of gauze curtain, but this pure white nearly transparent curtain could not effectively block people's gaze. Li Xun even looked at it as if nothing had happened, and his burning eyes first stared at the face of the female national teacher.
A layer of mist appeared in front of him, just like the faint wisp of water on the lake in the early morning, as if there were no, but it was confused. Through this mist, everything I saw was almost illusory - Li Xun was stunned, his mind was a little confused, and this strange feeling came very strange!
And the next moment, he suddenly realized that he had not seen the face of the female national teacher yet!
What's going on?
When he was sorting out his somewhat confused thoughts, Qingbaogai was approaching, he frowned and looked there again. At this moment, his heart suddenly felt a sudden thrill!
At this moment, Yu Bijie suddenly felt aroused, and the cool air turned in his heart and spread suddenly throughout his body. His momentum was so rapid that he had never seen before!
Li Xun felt cold all over his body. This may be because of the effect of jade warding evil, but more importantly, the cold current that burst out from the depths of his heart, with the strength that even jade warding evil warding evil scattered straight into his limbs and bones.
To be continued...
