Chapter 43 Section 16

With a bang, something shattered. The candlelight shone on Lei Bicheng's face, and the meditating old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the white porcelain bottle on the small table in front of him.Now the porcelain bottle is broken, it broke suddenly by itself, no one touched it, and there was not even a breath of wind.The glazed surface on the outside of the porcelain vase originally showed bright red broken patterns. Those patterns are exquisite and transparent in color, as if they grew out of the vase.The bottle was broken, and the red liquid flowed out, turning into a bigger and bigger puddle on the small table, as if gradually showing some lines, but it didn't last long under the candlelight, a blue flame He floated on the unknown liquid, and then the liquid burned silently.After a while, the flame was extinguished, leaving only a few pieces of white broken porcelain on the table, the red pattern on the porcelain surface also disappeared, and there was no trace of burning on the table.

A cast iron servant stood at the door, his face was covered with a strict iron mask, only a pair of eyes were exposed.At this moment, he was silently looking at the pile of porcelain tiles, and there was a hint of sadness in his chilling eyes. "Your elder brother has left us forever," Lei Bicheng said in a low voice, "probably because he failed to complete the task, after all, he was facing Suyue Moyu, who was a warrior from Heaven, and they knew how to deal with us. You My brother is still too young, it's my pride, it's my fault." "Leave here?" The follower asked in a low voice, his voice was still calm, without any emotion.

"No, I want to take a break and wait for them to come to me." Lei Bicheng slowly closed his eyes, and waved the pieces of porcelain in front of him, "It's good to put it away as a souvenir, this is your The only thing left by my brother." The servant stepped forward, gently picked up the broken porcelain, wrapped it in a cloth, put it in the breastplate, and retreated to the door.He closed his eyes like Lei Bicheng, and the quiet room became quiet again. The candle went out silently by itself. The sky is slightly white.The night passed, and the pattern in the quiet room did not change at all. Lei Bicheng and the servant seemed to be meditating, but also seemed to have entered a deep sleep. The two of them didn't even breathe, and the corners of their clothes didn't move at all.

At this time, the follower opened his eyes: "Here we come!" The sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside, and more than one person came, and the sound of the warrior's heavy boots and the clanging of swords against armor were also interspersed.The other party came very fast!The servant held down the handle of the knife at his waist and stood behind Lei Bicheng. The door was pushed open vigorously with a "bang", and the eldest princess strode in. She stopped expressionlessly and looked directly at Leibi City. Behind her was an elite warrior in uniform.Baili Ningqing stood behind the eldest princess with her hands wrapped in her sleeves and her head bowed.The black-clothed servant clenched the handle of the knife, and the armor of the gauntlet rubbed against each other, making a disturbing sound.Lei Bicheng didn't open his eyes, and gently raised his hand to signal the followers to back off.

"In the information of Shangyang Pass, Mr. Bicheng's strategy suggested to me has failed, and the army of the Li Kingdom has already pulled out their camp overnight." The eldest princess said coldly. Lei Bicheng nodded: "I have already failed. If the eldest princess needs my head to resolve your anger, then you can take it. Lei Bicheng has lived for too many years and did not regard his decaying life as important. " "Will Chenyue's grand master not cherish his own life?" The eldest princess asked coldly, "Perhaps, Mr. Bicheng already guessed that I would not do anything."

She suddenly showed a charming smile, which looked frightening and desolate on her once stunning but aging face. Lei Bicheng slowly opened his eyes: "Chenyue sect? How could the eldest princess associate me with this sect?" "The name Shanbikong, does Mr. Bicheng know?" "What does the eldest princess know?" Lei Bicheng asked back. The eldest princess chuckled: "Actually, I want to apologize to Mr. Bicheng. Since you stepped into my water pavilion, my people have begun to collect information about Mr. We have nothing to gain, but there is a very interesting record. Nine years Before, a special envoy sent by the late emperor crossed the Tiantuo Strait and went to the Northland Qingyang Department, and it seems that he and Mr. Bicheng are old acquaintances."

"Oh?" Lei Bicheng whispered. The eldest princess's slender black eyebrows were proudly flying: "The special envoy sent by the late emperor is named Shan Bikong. He doesn't have any title, and we can't find out his background. We only know that this person entered the palace to meet the late emperor." On the one hand, he immediately won the great trust of the late emperor. Many things after that were directly assigned by the late emperor to Shan Bikong, and outsiders have no way of knowing. What's more interesting is that the 25,000 pieces of heavy crossbows in the arsenal are exactly At that time, the late emperor ordered Gongzaofu to make it according to Shan Bikong's suggestion."

She stopped talking, and looked directly into Lei Bicheng's eyes, as if she wanted to dig out a trace of shake or fear from Lei Bicheng's eyes.But Lei Bicheng and her looked at each other calmly, their eyes were clear, as if they were in an autumn lake. After being silent for a long time, Lei Bicheng showed a faint smile: "Yes, Shan Bikong and I are brothers, we learn from the same teacher and serve the same god. It can be said that Shan Bikong is another Lei Bicheng , There is almost no difference in our purpose and ability. Then, why is the eldest princess convinced that we are all believers in Chenyue."

The eldest princess was silent for a while: "The whole story of the great Pope Gulun'er serving as the national teacher five hundred years ago has been clearly recorded by the historian. That record has never been lost and has always been kept in the palace. It's just that it is inconvenient to disclose it to outsiders. Mr. Bicheng, you once exposed your face in front of our Bai family, and brought glory and slaughter to the royal family, our descendants of the Bai family will never forget it." "Okay!" Lei Bicheng said, "Then what can I do for the eldest princess?"

"I hope that Mr. Bicheng can do things for one person." "I have traveled thousands of miles just to dedicate my strength to the eldest princess." The eldest princess shook her head and smiled: "In the imperial capital, what am I? There are undercurrents here, and there are rich and powerful everywhere. I am a woman, so what can I do? But there is one person, different from me, who can give my husband far more than me. Me. Early this morning, I told him about Mr. Bicheng. He was very excited and wanted to ask Mr. Bicheng in person. So I rushed in, not to fail the plan at Shangyangguan, but to tell Good news sir."

"Who?" "Of course it's our Bai family's emperor of this generation!" The eldest princess waved behind her. The military warriors who had been hidden at the back strode in. They were all handsome and tall young men, all covered in solemn black heavy armor, the breastplate was as bright as a mirror, and they were matched with dark red heavy brocade uniforms. The coat of arms of the golden rose hangs down.They bowed their heads and half-kneeled in front of Leibi City, holding a vermilion tray in their hands. On it was a dark red heavy brocade robe and a black hair crown. Both the robe and the hair crown were decorated with gold patterns, which was extremely luxurious. Solemn gowns, the court clothes of the emperor's ministers are nothing more than that. "The Jinwu Guard of the Taiqing Palace invites Mr. Bicheng to wear a formal attire. Your Majesty is waiting for you!" the young man in charge said loudly, his voice cadenced. This is the most solemn courtesy of the royal family. Any important minister who can be invited into the Taiqing Palace by such a ceremony will be ecstatic and proud, but Lei Bicheng doesn't seem very excited.He reached out and touched the dress lightly, and did not speak for a long time. Ning Qing, who had been silent all this time, took a step forward and caught the gown: "Before I put on this gown, I have a few questions for Mr. Bicheng." "Young Master Ning Qing, please speak frankly." "Mr. Bicheng left the country, and Mr. Bikong was loyal to the royal family. There was only two years before and after. Liguo and the royal family have been sworn enemies from then to now. May I ask why the two gentlemen chose different camps for the same goal? " "Because we chose different types of fire." Lei Bicheng said. "Tinder?" "The first emperor and His Royal Highness Mighty King are both people with flames burning in their chests, and they both intend to change this far from perfect world. We believers in Chenyue do not choose any party's power, we only choose the fire. The fire in people's hearts, given This world is full of vitality. We dedicate our lives to the gods, and distribute the power bestowed by the gods to the fire seeds." Lei Bicheng said slowly, "This is also the reason why I came here, no matter the eldest princess or Ning Mr. Qing, there is fire in his heart, not even inferior to Ying Wuyi." "Even if the tinders are hostile to each other?" Lei Bicheng glanced at him: "Yes. In the end, someone will win with our assistance and hold the power of the world tightly in their hands. Although this power is only for a while." "Ning Qing has been taught." Baili Ning Qing bowed and backed out. Lei Bicheng stood up, grabbed the dress from the tray, shook it off, and draped it over his shoulders.At this time, his movements were wide open and wide, as if he was swiping thousands of troops, and everyone in the room could feel the wind blowing towards them when the dress was shaken open.The Jinwu guards pressed the hair crown on him in awe, as if they were serving the emperor with caution. Lei Bicheng stood upright, opened his arms and let the Jinwu guards adjust his clothes for him. He was tall and straight, with stern eyebrows, so he couldn't be stared at. The eldest princess also walked behind Lei Bicheng and straightened the wrinkles of his clothes. "Princess overworked. I didn't complete our plan, but she was forgiven by her and recommended me to His Majesty. Lei Bicheng is deeply grateful." Lei Bicheng said this, but he didn't show any sincerity, and let the princess do it for her. He smoothed the folds on his shoulders. "Although the plan has not been completed, we have all seen the power of Mr. Bicheng clearly. With such power, what else can we not do?" The eldest princess chuckled, "As I said at the beginning. Are you God's envoy, whether it brings destruction or gift, no one can refuse." "Lei Bicheng will do his best!" The old man shook his uniform and strode out, with the eldest princess, Ning Qing, Jin Wuwei and followers behind him.
