"Ying Wushuang... I really admire Jiang Fan for his vision. Unfortunately, he may not be able to grasp it."
Ji Zongyao stared in the direction of the mountain gate, with an inexplicable meaning at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Highness, Princess Chen went to the mountain gate..."
General Jin Jia whispered.
Ji Zongyao smiled coldly: "Idiot, let her learn a lot, and she can learn to behave better in the future."
General Jin Jia held the hilt of his sword and stared in the direction of Ying Wushuang: "The Taiyue Holy Land is closed. What will happen to her? She can't force her way in."
Ji Zongyao narrowed his eyes: "I also want to see it..."
In the imperial study, Zeng Chun looked at the prince who was looking down at the memorial: "Your Highness, she is here."
Ji Zongyi slowly put down his pen, raised his head, and looked deeply.
"All the ministers are here?"
Zeng Chun said: "All the important officials are in the main hall, or they all want to take a look..."
Ji Zongyi smiled faintly: "What are you looking at? To see how charming Ying Wushuang is? Or do you want to see how Gu responds?"
Zeng Chun pondered and said, "I think it's both."
Ji Zongyi gently waved his robe sleeves and stood up: "Gu, I also want to see it."
Zeng Chun led the way and said, "The two elders Yousheng and Canxin left the elder's hall."
Ji Zongyi chuckled and said, "Only them?"
"The sick man elder went to the mountain gate."
Ji Zongyi nodded: "It's very interesting... That boy, is he still sleeping?"
Zeng Chun said softly: "Your word "sleep" is a bit strange."
Ji Zongyi just pursed his lips and smiled: "Where is that broken mouth?"
"Back to Your Highness, Mr. Lu has gone down the mountain."
Ji Zongyi paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Father is even weirder."
Zeng Chun said: "But now, Ying Wushuang is coming, what should we do without looking weird?"
Ji Zongyi strode forward: "That depends on her."
——
Across the Moon Peak, Feng Chen's pair of red phoenix eyes flickered on and off.
"Great Zhou Dragon Vein, are you also interested..."
A masked man in black quickly approached and said, "Your Majesty, I have received news that Meng Yi is leading his army to travel to the grassland."
And his voice and appearance were exactly the same as the one who attacked Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan would be very surprised if he thought about it. Shouldn't he be dead?
Feng Chen's eyes narrowed: "Traveling to the grassland?"
"Yes, it is said that he went to visit King Zuoxian's tribe and had a gambling and hunting match with Prince Du Lun."
"If you can hunt, what can you hunt?"
"Say it's a beast."
Feng Chen's expression changed slightly: "Beasts... no, they are eyeing my 50,000 crusaders."
The masked man in black was shocked: "What?"
Feng Chen said coldly: "No need to make a fuss. When Jiang Fan handed people over to me, I knew it was not that simple. He was a threat."
The masked man in black seemed confused: "Threat... He knows that the assassination was done by the emperor?"
"What others can't think of can't be hidden from him."
"Could it be that Ying Wushuang came here with the intention of targeting us?"
Fengchen pondered for a moment: "Maybe, he just wants to tell me that he understands my second level of thoughts and tells me not to act rashly."
The masked man in black was stunned for a moment: "Emperor, what are you thinking about?"
Fengchen waved his hand: "No need to ask, remember, restrain your subordinates, no matter what happens, don't join in the fun."
"We, do nothing?"
Feng Chen shook his head: "I have already missed. Whatever I do is wrong. Wait for him... to make some conditions."
The masked man in black frowned: "Why are you so passive..."
Feng Chen said calmly: "Feng Shui is changing, we have just taken the initiative to overcome it, haven't we?"
The masked man in black didn't understand, and Feng Chen didn't explain. He just said, "Go and prepare a generous gift..."
——
Amid the attention of all parties, Ying Wushuang finally arrived at the gate of Mount Taiyue.
Taiyue Mountain Gate has no gate, just two giant stone pillars ninety-six feet high on both sides.
Some people say that ninety-six feet has a meaning. Since ancient times, ninety-nine has been the sky, and people can reach ninety-five at most, and the supreme ninety-five is already His Majesty the Human Emperor. The gate of Taiyue Mountain is ninety-six feet, one foot higher than the emperor on earth, and only three feet lower than the sky. It implies The meaning of dominating the world. However, Taiyue has never made a clear statement on this.
There is a drum and a bell hung on the two giant stone pillars.
The drum is the heaven and earth drum, which is played when important visitors worship the mountain and ask for an audience. It is different from the Wen Deng drum in the imperial court. Usually, the duke has one link, the king has two links, and if the Taoist, Buddha, or Holy Lord, etc., it has three links. .
The bell named Xuanhuang Bell is rung during important rituals and sacrifices.
If the bells and drums are ringing together, there are only two situations, one is to worship heaven and enshrine the Buddha, and the other is a major accident.
According to the rules, as the king of Qin, Ying Wushuang should beat the heaven and earth drums, call the five elders, and greet him with a guard of honor.
But at this moment, there was no etiquette to welcome the king at the mountain gate. There was only a sick old man sitting quietly on the stone pier with his eyes closed, as if he was basking in the sun.
Ying Wushuang reined in the unicorn horse, not looking at the bells, drums, or the old man. He just raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the imperial court.
After half a cup of tea, she just watched quietly. There was no sound at the mountain gate, and even the strong wind seemed to have stopped.
Finally, the old man sighed softly and said slowly: "Qin Guojun, you shouldn't have come."
Ying Wushuang withdrew his gaze and looked at the old man.
"Elder Sick Man, we meet again."
Elder Sick Man slowly opened his eyes and looked at her: "It shouldn't be at this time, it shouldn't be here."
Ying Wushuang was silent for a few breaths, "You want to stop me?"
The sick man said: "The one on the mountain is still there, you shouldn't call me me."
Ying Wushuang said calmly: "Now that I have proclaimed myself emperor, I want the whole world to know about it. If I close my door and proclaim myself emperor, what more do I need to do with the word emperor."
The sick man elder did not speak for a long time, and finally shook his head: "No one will sound the drum or bell for you, so please come back."
Ying Wushuang turned his head, and the Wushuang sword suddenly came out of its sheath and floated in mid-air: "I, why do you need to pretend to others?"
The sick man's eyes narrowed: "No..."
However, before he finished speaking, the Wushuang Sword had separated into two pieces, and the hilt of the sword crashed against the bells and drums.
In an instant, the bells and drums rang together, and the heaven and earth shook.
"Who dares!"
Following a deep shout, a figure stepped down from the top of the Jade Emperor.
He put his hands on his back and walked step by step like climbing stairs, but in only a few steps, he walked from the thousand-foot peak to the foot of the mountain.
The person who came was dressed in gray clothes, with a haggard face, and his eyes had no pupils, just gray and black.
It is the dead elder.
The five elders of Taiyue, immortality, death, old age, sick man, and broken heart, ranked second, are said to have death but no life.
"A bold woman should be guilty of using bells and drums rashly!"
His voice was cold, as if coming from the Nine Netherworld, with a strong aura of death.
"Who in the world dares to question me about my crime." The empress' voice was indifferent, but revealed unparalleled domineering power.
"It turns out to be Ying Wushuang, the daughter of Qin... Since you are the lord of Qin, you should know the meaning of bells and drums." Yousheng did not call him the Lord of Qin or the King of Qin, but used the word "Nv of Qin" and called him by his first name. His attitude was obvious. .
The empress' eyes were sharp: "Bells and drums are for people to beat, otherwise, what's the point of keeping them!"
You Death's expression was cold: "The sound of bells and drums shocked the heavens and asked, "How dare you act rashly? Where did this come from!"
