Among the bedrooms in the fishing village.
An old figure stood alone in front of the window, looking lonely at the sea view outside the window.
The body looks more and more stooped.
Xuanyuan Zhong looked solemn. After closing his eyes, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Uncle Zhong——!"
Bang~~
The door behind him was suddenly pushed open.
Xue Yun burst into the bedroom and looked at the old man standing with his hands behind his back. He couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"You brat, you're getting more and more unruly."
Didn't look back.
Xuanyuan Zhong shook his head silently and said: "Before coming in, can't you knock on the door first?"
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Xue Yun quickly took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "How long has it been? How can I care about so much? Over there in the Imperial City of Daxia..."
"Why panic?!"
Interrupted Xue Yun first.
Xuanyuan Zhong still did not look back, and said calmly: "I have read the relevant news, and the embassy has also contacted me. I know the specific situation clearly..."
He raised his eyebrows.
Facing the regent who looked as usual, Xue Yun burst into laughter for a moment.
In my impression, Xuanyuan Zhong always puts the honor, disgrace and safety of the Great Xia Empire first.
Now, with such a big thing happening at home, the other party's attitude is a little too calm.
Uncharacteristically, he didn't show any signs of anxiety.
"Close the door."
Looking back at the two people in front of the door, the old regent pointed at Xue Yun with a serious smile and said: "I, the king, want to talk to you alone!"
"Boss, please chat slowly, I'll look after you outside..."
He raised his hand and touched his bare forehead.
At the critical moment, Wang Defa was extremely sensible and quickly and consciously closed the door for the two of them.
In an instant.
The bedroom became silent, with only Xue Yun and Xuanyuan Zhong looking at each other.
"Uncle Zhong, what do you think?"
After pondering for a moment, Xue Yun asked: "Feel free to speak out, but as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
Even though there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the relevant systems of Daxia.
But there was always Xue Yun's only hometown, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Daxia to cause chaos.
not to mention.
If the Xuanyuan royal family becomes at odds with the various princes and city lords, and the two sides are not under control, once the war starts, the first to suffer and suffer will still be the unarmed common people.
What followed was the covetousness of the other four ancient human civilization countries.
At that time, the world will be in chaos, heroes will rise together, and a huge catastrophe will instantly sink the land of China.
Xue Yun simply didn't dare to imagine this kind of thing where loved ones would suffer and enemies would be happy, let alone would it happen.
"Do your best to ensure your destiny."
Slowly walked to the chair by the window.
Like an ordinary old man, Xuanyuan Zhong raised his head and smiled bitterly, and sighed: "Looking back now, they tried their best to arrange for me to lead the mission to the Empire on which the sun never sets. It was simply a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. It is just to facilitate the new emperor's accession to the throne and to implement the policy of reducing the vassal vassal."
It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
The regent Xuanyuan Zhong worked hard all his life and went through life and death several times for the sake of the Great Xia Empire. In the end, he became a thorn in his own side and a thorn in his flesh.
Hear the words.
Xue Yun also sighed for a while. While feeling the same, he also felt deeply worthless for this senior man.
But the problem is already in front of us. There is no use in complaining about it. It must be dealt with as soon as possible.
"Uncle Zhong."
He looked up at Xuanyuan Zhong, who was in low spirits.
Xue Yun's eyes were firm and he said resolutely: "I will pack up now, take everyone, and return to Daxia with you. With your prestige in the court, plus the help of me and Hu Kui, I can at least dissuade the little emperor." If you are messing around, at the very least, let him take back his intention to withdraw the feudal vassal!"
Xue Yun's idea is very simple and crude.
Since the other party has taken advantage of the loophole, the only thing to do at this time is to make up for it. We do not ask the little emperor to give up the throne, but we must also stop him from messing around to avoid chaos in the world and loss of life.
"No, you can't go back with me."
Shaked his head.
Xuanyuan Zhong flatly refused: "Today's Imperial City Tiger City is different from before. It is already full of dangers. Lin Zerong not only bewitched the young master, but also took control of the military and political power. His team of Forbidden Palace envoys should not be underestimated. It is too dangerous for you to follow them back." .”
Narrow your eyes.
The old regent emphasized: "What's more, your and Hu Kui's identities are too special. They represent the vassal forces in Longdu. They want to withdraw the vassal now, and they are targeting people like you... "
Startled slightly.
Xue Yun was speechless for a moment. He wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but found that he couldn't.
Just as Xuanyuan Zhong said.
Today, the situation in the Daxia Empire is no longer as peaceful as before.
The little emperor's imperial edict without thinking completely drove all the princes to a dead end.
The Daxia royal family and the local separatist forces are incompatible with each other. Although they have not yet officially broken their ties, if the situation does not improve, it will almost be a matter of time before a war begins.
As everyone knows.
Xue Yun is a close disciple of Longdu War God, and as for Hu Kui's identity, he is the lord of Longdu City.
Once they follow Xuanyuan Zhong back to the imperial city, they will immediately become the target of public criticism in the court.
The dangers involved make people think deeply and fearfully.
"Stay in the Empire where the sun never sets, or simply return to Dragon City."
Facing Xue Yun's slightly frightened eyes.
Xuanyuan Zhong's eyes were deep and he warned in a deep voice: "In short, don't even get even half a step closer to the imperial city, it's very dangerous there!"
"How can that be done!?"
Suddenly he took a step forward.
Xue Yun gritted his teeth and couldn't bear to say: "You go back alone without any support. Those guys have been planning for a long time. I'm afraid they have dug a hole long ago and will definitely kill you... "
There was a pause.
Xue Yun reminded in a deep voice: "This is clearly a road of no return!"
A biting cold wind blew through the window.
The temperature in the bedroom changed suddenly, just like the mood of the two of them at the moment, suddenly dropping to freezing point.
"I am old, so I can use my spare energy, which is not a loss."
He raised his eyebrows.
Xuanyuan Zhong stood up slowly and sighed softly: "It is the duty of the regent of the Great Xia Empire to bring order to things and save the nation. However, I hope that the world of China can be peaceful for eternity and that this great country will not fall apart. Even if I break this old bone, What does it matter?"
"You are still young, you will naturally understand in the future..."
He raised his hand and patted Xue Yun's shoulder.
The gray-haired old man smiled calmly and said, "Someone has to do some things."
He was suddenly startled.
Xue Yun's pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but stand there blankly.
In the same words, in his memory, Beigong Mu, who was on top of Longdu City many years ago, also said to himself...
Clench your fists.
Xue Yun finally bowed his head and remained silent.
Time has passed, and he is no longer the selfish young man who only cared about his own enjoyment.
When a real man is alive, there are things he does and things he doesn't do.
As a human being, we can be as humble as dust, but we cannot be twisted like maggots.
Facing the old man in front of him who upheld his own beliefs and obsessions, Xue Yun could not change his mind, nor could he try to change his mind.
"When are you leaving?" Xue Yun asked softly.
"Three hours later, the embassy's special plane is on its way here..."
Look out the window again.
Xuanyuan Zhong said sincerely: "Listen to this king and return to Longdu with Hu Kui. It is a troubled time and Longdu needs your presence."
