He seemed to have sensed Lu Meng's uneasiness next to him, and raised his head to signal her with his eyes. Strangely enough, whenever Lu Meng was anxious and uneasy, as long as she saw Zhao Yu's firm eyes, her heart would be at peace. down.
Arriving at the Tianchen Palace where Queen Sikou lived, they finally saw the current Queen Sikou Yuan. Sikou Yuan was wearing a maroon robe and a golden phoenix hair ornament, looking very dignified and majestic. .
Perhaps because of the exhaustion of harem battles over the years, a good-looking beauty has developed a disgustingly ruthless appearance.
She raised her phoenix eyes slightly and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.
First, he looked up and down at Lu Meng with jealous eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Are you Jing Wei?"
Lu Meng lowered her head and swallowed, trembling with fear, and said hurriedly: "Yes, slave Jing Wei!"
"Lift your head—"
Lu Meng swallowed slowly, not daring to raise her head to look at Queen Sikou. Unexpectedly, Queen Sikou stepped forward and lifted her face up. The gold nail polish on her fingers almost pinched Lu Meng's powder. Tender cheeks.
Queen Sikou narrowed her cold eyes and carefully studied the woman in front of her. Although she was wearing a coarse linen shirt, she was so charming that could not be concealed. She said coldly: "What a charming face, no wonder it can charm the king!"
Her words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth, with a fierceness.
Lu Meng felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her mouth, and she was already in disarray.
I heard Zhao Yu, who was kneeling beside me, speak: "My mother is a country woman, and she cannot compare with the empress's many graces. My father's pity for my mother is just an unintentional act, just a casual marriage."
Zhao Yu's words immediately weakened Queen Sikou's hostility towards Lu Meng, and at the same time maintained Queen Sikou's majesty. If she continued to entangle with Lu Meng, it would appear that she, Queen Sikou, was petty.
Queen Sikou walked back to the phoenix chair and sat down, and then said: "This casual marriage also created an emperor. Jing Wei, you are very lucky! In the end, you will become a concubine, the most grassroots woman in the world." , no one is as lucky as you! You have a good life! You gave birth to a good son! From now on, Zhao Yu will be assisted by the Ai family. You must remember that from now on, Zhao Yu is the son of the Ai family. !」
"Yes!" Lu Meng and Zhao Yu knelt down to thank them.
After that, Zhao Yu was named the new king of Yi Kingdom, Jing Wei was named the concubine, and the government of Yi Kingdom was actually controlled by Queen Mother Sikou Yuan.
After Zhao Yu became the king of Yi, he followed the teachings of his master Jiang Guying, kept a low profile, restrained his sharp edges, and started a step-by-step life with Lu Meng in the palace.
It is said that under the persuasion of his son-in-law Han Moxuan, Mowu opened a branch of the Mowu Escort Agency in the capital, and Mo Xuelia was in charge of it. Han Moxuan managed the finances and attracted customers, and it soon became prosperous.
In this way, Han Moxuan and Mo Xueliang became a fake couple for a year, but the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper during this year, and they actually developed an inseparable friendship for each other.
As for Hao Kingdom, General Qin Bai went to Yuechan Town to welcome Zhenguo Jian back, but there was no news. Later, Han Huaimin sent troops here to Yuechan Town to find out the news.
The people who came back told him that the people in Yuechan Town were wiped out almost overnight, and now it has become an empty city. As for General Qin Bai and Zhenguo Sword, there is no trace.
Han Huaimin was very worried about this. The death of the second prince Han Cangyu and the disappearance of the Zhenguo Sword had become his heartache. Fortunately, the country was in civil strife and had no time to expand its territory to attack neighboring countries. Countries have also entered a period of stable living, and Hao Kingdom can finally live a peaceful and stable life for a few days.
After the death of Zhao Teng of Yi Kingdom, his youngest son Zhao Yu succeeded to the throne. Several princes of the Yi Kingdom were dissatisfied with the prince who was killed halfway, and constantly questioned whether Zhao Yu was Zhao Peng's biological flesh and blood, so they launched a coup to question Zhao Yu's identity.
Although they investigated in every possible way and tried to find clues, they were unable to match Zhao Yu's careful layout and were unable to find any substantive evidence.
They had always suspected that Zhao Yu was fake, but they never thought that the prince's identity was real, but that Concubine Jing was fake.
In addition, there is Queen Mother Sikou in the palace who is trying to turn the tide.
Even if they wanted to make a fuss about Zhao Yu's identity, it would be useless. For Queen Mother Sikou, it made no difference to her whether Zhao Yu was Zhao Teng's biological flesh and blood.
For her, all she needs is a puppet. As long as she can firmly hold the power of the country in her hands, she will not care at all whether the puppet emperor is of orthodox origin.
Several princes saw that it was difficult to make waves at the political level, and eventually started to launch civil wars one after another. They all believed that they were the right ones to succeed to the throne, and no one was willing to give up their pursuit of royal power.
So within a year, civil wars continued to occur in the country, making the people of Yi miserable, with chickens and dogs restless, and wailing everywhere.
The young Zhao Teng is at the core of the deep storm. On the one hand, he has to constantly face attacks from all sides, and on the other hand, he has to secretly follow Han Moxuan to learn martial arts and politics to enhance his own strength.
Without the help and silent support of Master Han Moxuan, he would have been drowned in this terrible storm.
Due to the chaos caused by the civil war in Yi country, many people died tragically in Yi country, which caused their national power to continue to decline, and eventually they were no longer able to invade other countries.
On this day, the imperial master Xun Feizi was sitting in the attic watching the stars, and suddenly he noticed a meteor falling from the sky. The meteor was dragging a long tail, which seemed to mean something.
He suddenly stood up from his seat and looked towards the distant sky.
The boy following him asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xun Feizi did not answer, but stretched out his fingers to quickly calculate. His brows furrowed more and more tightly, and then he said: "Something big is going to happen in the country of Hao!"
After saying that, he hurried to find King Hao.
The boy was left with a confused look on his face. He looked up at the sky where the meteor disappeared and pouted.
Above the main hall.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"National Master, why did you come here in such a hurry?"
"I look at the sky at night. It seems that something big is going to happen in Hao Kingdom?"
Hearing this, King Hao Han Huaimin was so frightened that he stood up from the throne and said, "Master, is this an intruder from the country?"
Xun Feizi shook his head and said: "According to Wei Chen's observation, it should be something beneficial to the country of Hao, not a disaster. As for what it is, I think I will know it soon!"
Han Huaimin nodded slowly, feeling a little calmer.
Suddenly I heard a guard coming from outside to report: "Your Majesty - Your Majesty - a monk broke into the palace gate at night, and everything must be faced!"
Han Huaimin frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Breaking into the palace gate at night and ordering people to capture it..."
"Uh... Your Majesty, the city guards failed to capture the monk. Now the monk... the monk is outside this hall!"
After hearing this, Han Huaimin felt a chill running down his back. He looked at Xun Feizi aside with trembling eyes and asked, "Master, this person can actually be in a deserted place in the heavily guarded palace. How can this person be alone?" ...Could this be an assassin sent by the State of Yi?"
Xun Feizi said: "Your Majesty, please don't panic! This person has such high martial arts skills, but he didn't break in directly. He must not be an assassin. He is an eminent monk outside the world. Since you have something to present to Your Majesty, why don't you summon him?" ?」
Han Huaimin thought about what the imperial master said. If the other party was an assassin, why bother with him and just rush in and take his life? He straightened his clothes and said, "Please come in, monk." "
"Yes——Your Majesty!"
As the door of the main hall was slowly opened, a monk in white clothes walked in. The monk had a golden scripture on his forehead, his eyes were cold and his steps were firm.
He carried a long maroon box on his straight back. He clasped his hands towards Han Huaimin, and then said: "Amitabha, Xiaoshengguyuan, came from Qilin Divine Continent. What he carries on his body is of great importance. It is related to the national destiny of Hao Kingdom and must be handed over to His Majesty personally!"
King Hao Han Huaimin frowned slightly and looked at Xun Feizi, the national advisor.
Xun Feizi looked at the monk up and down, and saw that the monk's eyes were calm, as if there was nothing in his eyes. He did not know what this eminent monk with peerless martial arts was going to present to Emperor Hao.
However, Xun Feizi still
He seemed very calm and said in a calm tone: "I wonder what Master Guyuan presented?"
Gu Yuan said calmly: "The murder weapon——"
Han Huaimin clenched his fists and frowned, wanting to order the guards beside him to take down the monk who was uttering arrogant words.
But he heard Gu Yuan say: "It is also a magic weapon for governing the country and bringing peace to the country!"
After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he took off the long maroon box on his back and handed it to King Hao with great relief.
The guard stepped forward, took the long maroon box from Gu Yuan's hand, and then presented it to Han Huaimin.
When Han Huaimin saw the long maroon box, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness for some reason. He no longer worried about whether there was any hidden weapon in the long box, and slowly opened it, only to see that what was placed in the long box was A gorgeous red sword.
Gu Yuan said: "This sword is called Hongfeng Luoyan. It is the last work of Dongfeng Ye, the current swordsmith master. It is the sword he made for your country to conquer the country."
"Zhenguo Sword!" Han Huaimin was overjoyed. He couldn't wait to take out Hongfeng Luoyan and pulled out the sword with a clang.
The moment the sharp sword was unsheathed, a domineering sword flow seemed to spread over the entire hall. The red maple leaves on the sword body were like falling blood, exuding a noble sadness.
Gu Yuan looked at the red maple leaves, as if thinking of the catastrophe that happened in Yuechan Town a year ago. He said slowly: "The maple is like falling flames, burning the sky... This sword is sharpened by nine thunders. As soon as it is unsheathed, it kills the snake monster. It can be said to be a peerless sword that is rare in the world!"
King Hao Han Huaimin looked at the sword in his hand with trembling eyes, as if he had been impressed by the kingly aura exuding from the Zhenguo Sword.
King Hao Han Huaimin's eyes were wet and slightly red as he said: "Red Maple Falling Flame is truly worthy of being called the sword of the emperor! The sword of the country! Good! Good! Good!"
