Chapter 12 Chapter Two

In front of the Danfeng Hall, there were crowds of people.The complicated and vast soul-calling ceremony lasted for seven days, and at this time it finally came to an end, but there was no improvement in King Qing's serious illness.Qing Kui's Yuan Gongqing, dressed in red and purple robes, gathered in the corridor and whispered.They all got the news of Young Master Qing Ren, and rushed to Danfeng Hall together, asking Mrs. Xiang to make a statement. The tinkling of copper bells came from afar.The ministers immediately stopped talking and lined up beside the road respectfully. The green cloth trolley approached, and it was extremely quiet for a while.

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to be the first to go forward.For twenty years, Qing Wang Wuxiang and Queen Xiang's wife have been regarded as a pair of dragons and phoenixes.Wu Xiang, originally a general under Qing Kui's former king, was brave and good at fighting. With a long spear, he conquered 21 countries and tribes in Qingshui River Basin and Jiuyi Mountain in more than ten years, making Qing Kui's territory unprecedentedly strong.In the 388th year of Qing Kui's calendar, the Bingshemia Empire, which had ruled the Yunhuang Continent for a thousand years, was also crushed under the iron hoof of King Qing Wuxiang, and Qing Kui has since become the largest kingdom in the Yunhuang Continent.As for Mrs. Xiang, she has the dual identities of the original wife of King Wu Xiang and the eldest princess of the former king, as well as extraordinary talents and strategies, so she also enjoys supreme authority in Qing Kui's government.As brave and decisive as King Qing himself, Mrs. Xiang's opinion must also be respected.At this time Qing Wang Wu Xiang was terminally ill and unconscious, Mrs. Xiang's words were the highest opinion in the country.

Suddenly, a heroic bodyguard rushed over from behind the crowd and shouted loudly: "Mrs. Xiang!—Please get off the car, Mrs. Xiang, and discuss state affairs with all the adults." There was no movement in the car.Several ministers had already begun to sweat on their foreheads. Mo Luo gritted his teeth, and said loudly again: "Madam Xiang, please get out of the car!" There was still no sound in the car. Grand Fu Qingyannian couldn't bear it anymore, and finally came out, bowed respectfully to Qingche, "I have something to say, please." no answer. Qing Yannian blushed, and couldn't hold back anymore.He is a veteran of the three dynasties, and even Qing Wang Wu Xiang respects him three points.He loudly said: "The queen drags on like this, where does she want to go? Ever since the king went hunting in Yunmeng this spring, he has been sick for more than two months. Panicked. The ministers and others secretly thought that Madam Xiang should quickly appoint Prince Qing as the crown prince, and appoint him as the crown prince to supervise the country and handle the government affairs, so that the subjects can rest assured."

After waiting for a long time, there was still no answer.Mrs. Queen Xiang has always been reserved and determined. When she is noncommittal, it often means that disaster is imminent for the speaker. Qing Yannian decided to go all out, "My son, Qingren, has already grown up, he has both civil and military skills, and is highly regarded by everyone. Mrs. Xiang has repeatedly delayed the establishment of the crown prince. What is her intention! I have not seen the king for two months. The life and death of the above, the old minister is very worried!" "Shut up!" With a sound of chopping, he saw a huge black and shiny weapon, smashing heavily in front of Chuishan, piercing into the soil more than a foot deep.

Everyone was startled, and suddenly found that clusters of knives and axes were faintly shaking in the surrounding corridors.It turned out that the Imperial Forest Army had already ambushed around the main hall, and at this time they surrounded a group of ministers who gathered together.The ministers were a little uneasy. General Mu Liu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, flashed in front of Chui Shan, and said sharply: "Master Taifu, what crime should you deserve for maliciously slandering Your Majesty Mrs. Xiang!" Qing Yannian was shocked when he saw Mu Liu.However, he pursed his lips tightly, sneered and said nothing.

As the current number one warrior of the Qing Clan, General Muliu is not from Qing Kui.He was originally a royal family of Luo Kingdom in the north and a descendant of the River God. When he was young, he was famous in the north for his bravery and skill in fighting.However, ever since the king of the Luo Kingdom took a fancy to his first wife and forcibly snatched her into the palace, he has been depressed in his clan.Some people say that Wu Xiang was able to easily conquer Luo at the beginning because of Muliu's treason.Therefore, after the subjugation of the country, when he came to Qingkui to join the army, Muliu continued to suffer people's cold eyes, until Mrs. Xiang personally intervened in this matter.Mrs. Xiang stated Mu Liu's innocence to King Qing, and promoted him to be the commander of the Yulin Army, and Mu Liu's position in Qing Kui was changed from then on.

Therefore, Mu Liu is the most loyal subordinate that Mrs. Xiang has subdued.The Imperial Forest Army has always been Mrs. Xiang's confidant force. Now that they have been dispatched, it seems that Mrs. Xiang has expected what happened today.Thinking of this, Chuishan felt that the general situation was over, and his knees were a little weak.He quietly looked around, hoping to find the figure of Young Master Qing Ren.If Qing Ren himself appeared here, the situation would change. "Mu Liu!" The young warrior Mo Luo was not convinced, and jumped up, "You are just Mrs. Xiang's running dog! What right do you have to reprimand all the adults here!"

Mu Liu ignored him coldly, but said in a deep voice: "Please disband immediately and go back to your mansion. The imperial forest army can escort you adults. Otherwise, I am afraid that none of you can afford the crime of deceiving the emperor." Some people have already started to walk out slowly, and immediately the warriors in full armor followed closely, as if they were being escorted. "Wait a minute—" Mo Luo suddenly yelled, raised the sword in his hand, and made a dazzling arc in the air.Then Da Jian suddenly stopped and pointed at Mu Liu. Mu Liu is also a samurai and cannot refuse such a challenge.So he reached out and took his Qingyi shovel.The black giant blade, said to be forged from the iron sand washed away by the great river, is a unique weapon that every northern warrior is fascinated by.At this time, it is deeply inserted among the bricks, but Mu Liu is as effortless as pulling a grass from loose soil.Although the ministers knew about Mu Liu's prowess, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

Moro was unmoved.At this time, the air in front of the main hall suddenly froze, Qing Yisho's strong evil spirit, and Da Jian's soaring cold, fought faintly in the sky above Danfeng Hall. "Mrs. Xiang has an order—" A sharp voice came from inside the Danfeng Hall, suddenly breaking the gloomy atmosphere. The ministers were stunned for a while, and saw the corner door on one side of the hall slowly opened, and an attendant from the palace came out. "Mrs. Xiang ordered, all adults, please leave the palace. If the adults return to the residence immediately, today's matter will not be pursued."

Mo Luo looked at the green cloth cart, then at the attendant, and asked in confusion, "Where is Mrs. Xiang?" Mu Liu sneered and said, "Madam Xiang has already returned to the palace from the north gate." The green cloth cart became empty at some point.It doesn't make any sense to keep going.So Mo Luo and the ministers knew that this time they were completely defeated by Mrs. Xiang. Young Master Qing Ren is very careful.When Mo Luo and Mu Liu were about to fight, he was not at Danfeng Hall, not even in the palace at all.Although it has been prepared for a long time, he knows that Mrs. Xiang is resourceful and resourceful.For this day's plan, he was not very sure, he just wanted to test Mrs. Xiang.Therefore, he hid behind the scenes, so as not to let Mrs. Xiang catch the handle.The news that came shortly afterwards proved that his prudence was very wise.He concealed the regret and anxiety in his heart, dressed in casual clothes, and wandered leisurely on the streets of Yingdu.Suddenly, he saw a large group of people around the corner, so he went to have a look.

It turned out that a street boy was beating an elderly beggar in poor clothes. Qing Ren kept silent, he felt a little strange.Yingdu is not a place with bad customs.Since Wu Xiang succeeded to the Qing King, the territory has expanded, the rivers have been cleared, and the customs of the country have become more and more peaceful.It is somewhat unreasonable for a teenager to beat a beggar, but no one around him stopped him.After a while, however, he understood.The old beggar was slender and had a high forehead. He seemed to be from the far south, not a native of the Qing tribe in Yingdu. "You guys stop." Qing Ren's voice was not loud, but he was not angry.The beating boy looked back and found that he was a vigorous young nobleman, so he couldn't help but stop. "The survivors of Jiuyi are also human beings, subjects on the territory of the king. How can you bully them casually?" Qing Ren said indifferently. The young man clenched his fists, as if he still had something to say, but he didn't dare to offend Qing Ren, so he had to go away resentfully.Seeing this, the onlookers dispersed, and suddenly someone shouted. It was the young man who beat someone, before he reached the corner, he fell to the ground and died. The crowd was in an uproar.Even Qing Ren was deeply surprised. "The demon method—the demon method of the You Clan people—" Someone started shouting. "It's not magic," a heavy voice came from behind. "What's that?" Qing Ren asked with interest. "It's spirit. This You Clan member probably has a little bit of spirit foundation, which he doesn't usually use. But when his grief and anger accumulate to the extreme, it may erupt when he is dying, killing his enemy." Young Master Qing Ren was stunned. It is Jiuyi. Many Kui people have heard that before Qing Wang Wuxiang ruled Yunhuang, on the other side of the vast Qingshui, in the depths of Yunmeng, in the Nine Yi Mountains, there used to be a tribe called Youzu.The residents there are mild-tempered, and they regard the mountains, rivers and green fields where they live as gods, and they guard and worship them devoutly.They do not compete with the world, and do not have much contact with the outside world. Many people make a living by growing herbs on Jiangli Mountain.Jiangli Mountain is located deep in the Nine Yi Mountains, and it is a holy place for the tribe.Most of the Youzu people are slender and light on their feet. It is said that they are born wizards, who can more or less mysterious spells. Some people can walk freely on the water, and the best of them can even fly. The art is called "spirit". However, twenty years ago, after the You Clan was conquered by the Qing King Wu Xiang, Jiuyi Mountain became Qing Kui's territory, and those legends about green fields and spells became rumors and fallacies.As conquered tribes, they were taken for granted as backward barbarians.A large number of people died in the war and the famine after the war.The green field is lost, the vanilla is barren, and the remaining tribes often leave their homes; like many "barbarians" who came to the city from the wilderness, they died in the cold eyes and malice of the Qing people. "Could it be that the so-called spirits of the You Clan really exist?" Young Master Qingren asked after him. "That's real." Qing Ren turned his head to look for the person who had spoken, and suddenly confronted him, feeling extremely embarrassed. It was none other than Fusu, the high priest passing by. Qing Ren could only strike up a conversation with a smile, and then walked away.However, he couldn't help but look back.That Youzu man died.Young Master Qing Ren felt an inexplicable melancholy. Fusu didn't notice Qingren's departure.He bent down to examine the corpse, the old beggar had the mark of nine yi on his forehead. Maybe Shanze, many Youzu people will have a little spirit, and there will be more people who have received special training. The best of them will become the guardians of the Jiuyi Altar.A guardian must shoulder the mission of maintaining the lifeline of the clan.That is called Si Ming, which is equivalent to the high priest.Fusu saw the light blue crescent moon on the old beggar's hairline, the color was very light and very dark, either because he didn't have much strength in the first place, or because he was covered by the dust of the troubled times of the past twenty years, just like Fusu himself ... By the time the high priest Fusu rushed to the palace, the storm had subsided.After thinking about it, he decided not to see Queen Xiang any more.But for a long time, whenever something urgent happened, Mrs. Xiang must have predicted his arrival and waited for him.After thinking about it, he remembered that there was a secret water channel in the back garden of the palace, which was connected to the pool behind the temple.So he sent away his followers and went there alone. However, he saw Mrs. Xiang holding a water pot, standing quietly among the reeds beside the canal. Looking at her pure white dress, Fusu couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.Mrs. Xiang turned her head and saw him, and stretched out her finger, motioning to follow her. Behind Cangwu Garden, the Queen's residence, there is a small pavilion.Delicate plants moved from the distant Jiuyi Mountain grew on the platform. "Only by irrigating with the water from Liquan, can the Baizhi in the south of the Yangtze River grow on the land of Yingdu." Mrs. Xiang slowly poured the sweet spring in the water tank into the purple soil, "But even so, it can't bloom the most Beautiful flowers." A few pale blue-white Angelica flowers hang from the tip of the thin grass blade, precariously. "A lingering flower is like losing its soul." Fu Su remained silent, quietly peering at Mrs. Xiang's face.Days of fatigue made her a bit haggard, and her beautiful face was hidden in the white dahurica, adding a bit of sadness. "Follow me to see King Qing," Mrs. Xiang said.
