Chapter 435: Marquis of Wannian(1/2)
Just eat it like this!
Xiao Jinyan was stunned.
He knew that Mr. Lu had a good mouthful. He had eaten tree bark and gnawed the door panels. Sometimes he was so hungry that he even bite mice. Of course, this was related to Xiao Jinyan's long-term hunger training for him.
But this colorful stone is the object of the messenger of Shujian Mountain, and it is also the source of energy and power on their Shujian Mountain - that is, the true essence between heaven and earth, and has the power to kill masters outside the three realms.
Just eat it in one bite.
Mr. Lu was still feeling a little unfulfilled, and he didn't notice the whistling vermilion bird in the air. He was about to go to bed again, but his heart was very big.
However, at this moment, the Suzaku Fire in the sky could not sense the energy of the colorful stone, and the speed suddenly slowed down and gradually dimmed.
People or things below the three realms cannot inspire the Scare God Array. This is also the original intention of setting up the Scare God Array. Otherwise, if people who are narrow-minded control the Scare God Array and do whatever they want, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Outside Dong'anmen, the flames shook the sky.
There were firefighting and shouting everywhere. The officers and soldiers of the Wucheng Military Police quickly blocked Dong'anmen Square. Fortunately, they leaned against the Jinshui River and gradually controlled the fire.
Xiao Jinyan and Mr. Lu escaped from the scene in chaos.
...
On the rooftop, Zhu Liye looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see through the dark night, thick smoke rose and drifted into the palace.
Zhu Liye was completely unaware of it.
This is the secret of the martial arts of the messenger of Shujian Mountain, and it is also a secret outside the three realms. For this, he set up the Dengwen Academy and secretly investigated Shujian Mountain. Just when the victory was in sight, he suddenly disappeared.
Disappointment is not scary.
What’s scary is that after giving you hope, you will destroy this hope with your own hands, which is so hard to bear.
As soon as the seven-colored stone appeared, it was captured by the Scared God Array. I thought it was almost certain to win, but suddenly the whereabouts were unknown again.
The emperor's mood was extremely bad.
The Master of Yuxi comforted him, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. With the guardianship of the God of Scaring Formation, it cannot escape from the capital."
"What I want is to get it with myself, not to let it play hide and seek with me in the capital! If so..."
Zhu Liye suddenly closed his mouth.
It would be great if Li Chuntie or Yuwen Tianlu were there. No matter how difficult it was to deal with it, they would always think of solutions for themselves. Sometimes, with one look or one tone, both of them could get things done.
Thinking of this, Zhu Liye's face became even more gloomy.
He asked himself that he was good at treating the two of them, and he wanted money and power, but why did they betray him? Moreover, he joined forces to play a double act and play around with him like a monkey.
His surname is Zhu, not Hou!
"What else can I do?"
Master Yuxi said, "I suggest you ask Li Yuan... the rebel thief Li Chuntie."
Zhu Liye's face was slapped, "Let me ask him? What's your intention? Is it a joke to see me? Wasn't it enough last time?"
His voice became louder and louder, and the imperial guards guarding in the distance couldn't help but retreat. Given the incident some time ago, they all wanted to plug their ears with cotton, for fear that they would kill themselves if they heard what His Majesty said.
Yuxi fell to the ground, "I deserve to die!"
Zhu Liye said sarcastically, "What are you guilty of? You are the national master of the Ming Dynasty, and you are also in charge of the Great God-Shocking Formation, holding the power of life and death. If I don't take advantage of your heart, once your formation is activated, my life will be handed over to you."
Yuxi's teeth are trembling, and Zhu Liye's words are like
A knife dig a piece of meat on his heart and sprinkle a spoonful of salt, which made him twitch all over.
He lay on the ground, crawling with his hands, unable to speak. He dared not say anything, at this time, everything he said was wrong.
In the distance, Eunuch Gao trotted all the way to the emperor.
Zhu Liye looked back at Eunuch Gao.
Eunuch Gao's heart skipped a beat. His Majesty's eyes were red and full of murderous intent, like a bucket of turbulent oil on the edge of the stove.
He was ordered to go to the old palace, but when he encountered a situation, he rushed back overnight to report it, but judging from the current situation, he was in trouble.
"Say or not?" Gao Yuan thought in his mind. If he said it, he was afraid of his life and fear of his life. If he didn't say it, he would be dead.
It's too difficult for me!
Zhu Liye said in a deep voice, "I asked you to go to Fang Qingping to get the elixir. How is the matter done?"
Gao Yuan served His Majesty for many years, and although his ability to do things was not good, he also put some effort into exploring and guiding the emperor's thoughts.
"I have congratulated your Majesty."
"Oh?" Zhu Liye's expression slowed down for a moment, "Who is Xizhi?"
Gao Yuan said sharply, "Not only is there joy, but also a double happiness!"
"Speak for me!"
Gao Yuan bowed and said, "This is the first joy that Zhenren Fang finally refined the elixir that His Majesty had asked for for several years?"
Zhu Liye breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was good news. "Where is the second joy?"
"The second joy is that Fang Zhenren is dead!"
"What's the joy?"
Gao Yuan explained, "Minister Fang had already refined elixirs this afternoon, but he did not send them to the palace. He returned to the old palace and died of a violent death. The slave asked the people below, and they said that Mr. Fang was going to take more blood from the body of Xiao and wanted to prepare one for himself. Although the effectiveness was not as good as the first one, it was also of excellent quality. This was obviously a traitor, but he died of a violent death, which was considered a joy."
Zhu Liye originally felt a pity, but after hearing Gao Yuan's words, his face calmed down a lot, "Where is the pill?"
Gao Yuan took out a jade bottle from his arms and held it in his palm. Zhu Liye took it, opened it and frowned and said, "How did it turn into powder?"
It turned out that the pill was not destroyed after being trampled by Xiao Jinyan. After Gao Yuan left, he saw the pill next to Fang Qingping's body, so he ordered people to put it in the bottle, but he didn't dare to say it was picked up from the ground and he hesitated and did not dare to speak randomly.
Fortunately, Zhu Liye said again, "The quality is good. It is much purer than the envoy of Shujianshan back then." After that, he put it in his arms.
This kind of pill is the driving force for Zhu Liye's rapid progress in martial arts, and Xiao Jinyan's bloodline is really the most in the world. Whether he can win the immortality depends on this.
On his 60th birthday, he was preparing to take the pills here and become the first emperor who had martial arts beyond the third realm in hundreds of years.
Not only do you control the supreme power of the world and the lifespan of a god, how can there be more wonderful things in the world than this?
Because of this ambition, until now, Zhu Liye has no descendants, and no one dares to discuss the establishment of the crown prince in the court. In the first years, the officials who discussed the establishment of the crown prince were either depreciated or exiled, had bad luck or even had their homes confiscated. Over time, all the officials knew what His Majesty was thinking.
In fact, he rose up at the age of 35 and ascended the throne at the age of 37. He was about to be sixty, but he looked younger. He was outstanding in both martial arts and physical functions, and it was because of this that he had higher ambitions.
He is preparing to jump out of the three realms on his sixtieth birthday. At that time, there will be the God of Shocking and the Three
As long as the martial arts outside the realm are not the supreme heavenly way, he will be fearless in this world!
Therefore, he saw some small movements in the capital, as well as some small movements of the bureaucrats, Western Chu and Northern Zhou, but did not say them out loud.
Before his absolute power, everything was a joke.
Zhu Liye was in a much better mood.
"How did Fang Qingping die?"
Eunuch Gao said righteously, "It is said that he was killed by Xiao Jinyan's sneak attack. The boy slipped away overnight and had no whereabouts yet. The servant had asked the people from the East Factory to investigate."
Zhu Liye said, "No need."
Eunuch Gao knew that His Majesty was mysterious and said in a timely manner, "Your Majesty, why is this?"
He also deliberately showed a confused expression.
Zhu Liye likes to play with his ministers in his hands. Eunuch Gao is knowledgeable and naturally knows how to speak to make him feel comfortable.
Zhu Liye said, "If I kill Li Chuntie, he will naturally come uninvited."
Eunuch Gao said justice, "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Little Gaozi, guess again, why did I punish Li Chuntie on my birthday?"
Eunuch Gao thought to himself, it was not because you were vengeful and wanted to humiliate him in front of all officials, but said, "I dare not guess."
"Speak and listen."
Eunuch Gao tried to say, "Your Majesty is to shock foreign countries and warn the unruly ministers, so that they dare not have the intention of being disobedient."
Zhu Liye shook his head.
Eunuch Gao said again, "Your Majesty will pay tribute to the ancient land of heaven with the blood of the traitor, and bless my Ming Dynasty with good weather and peace and the people."
Zhu Liye shook his head again.
Eunuch Gao said justice, "That slave is stupid, I can't guess it."
Zhu Liye looked at Dongfang and gradually showed white fish, and he kept smiling.
"Set up the Wanshou Palace!"
The Taoist Master Yuxi, who was kneeling not far away, couldn't help but sigh that although he was close minister of the emperor, his Taoist practice was still a little worse than that of Eunuch Gao.
...
On the sixth day of the 10th month of the 11th year of Tiantong, the fire outside Dong'anmen east of the palace burned more than 60 houses and nearly a hundred people died. They came for no reason and went silently, becoming a mystery.
This incident quickly became a hot topic on the streets and alleys, but the popularity did not last for half a day, and another exciting thing happened in the capital.
To be continued...
