Qingcheng on the same day.
The wind and snow did not crush a single glazed tile on the main hall, but an official letter on the table made a group of elders unable to breathe for a long time.
Like the head of the Phoenix Sect, the head of Qingcheng is a middle-aged man who looks to be only about fifty years old, but has actually lived for who knows how many years.
Yuan Qiu, who is dressed in a green shirt, is the leader of Qingcheng, a great monk who can ascend to the realm of Nine Tribulations in less than two years.
Looking at the group of elders of His Highness, Yuan Qiu frowned and said quietly: "You may not know who the Imperial Master is, but I believe you have not forgotten the Battle of Beihai back then."
"I remember that year, our Elder Tang took the princess to participate in the Battle of Beihai, and many Qingcheng disciples died in Beihai..."
Murong Ming, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall who was dressed in black and had a thin face, replied quietly.
"So what? The blood and sweat we put in back then were all because of Su Qingyue's selfish motives... In the Battle of Beihai, the Imperial Master ascended and left with his physical body. Now, he is back!"
Yuan Qiu sighed heavily.
Looking at a group of elders, he asked: "Do you think that the Imperial Master who has returned can't even defeat you? He beheaded the Queen and deposed Su Qingyue with just a wave of his hand!"
Murong Ming sighed and said leisurely: "Don't talk so much now, think about how to deal with it. After all, spring will start soon."
I can pat my butt and leave Qingcheng at the worst, but this is the largest sect in the five regions, with thousands of elders and disciples, where can I hide?
Where can the entire sect be relocated?
Yuan Qiu spread his hands and said coldly: "What can we do? Either go to war with the imperial court, or hand over the people the Imperial Master wants."
In his opinion, those were seventeen elders who had reached the realm of transcending tribulation in the late stages of distraction? !
If these elders are handed over and most of the elders in Qingcheng are gone, how will they be able to gain a foothold in the Five Regions in the future?
If you don't, you will have to fight with the imperial army, or even have the imperial master personally commit suicide. There are only two outcomes.
Either win the battle with the imperial court and the national division, and the two sides sign a non-aggression treaty.
Either Qingcheng was defeated, pushed aside by the imperial army, and removed from the domain.
After much deliberation, I can't think of a third way.
Murong Ming thought for a while, looked at the leader and said, "Senior brother, can you send someone to the Imperial City to negotiate with the Imperial Master?"
In his opinion, as long as he can keep Qingcheng, he will not hesitate to pay the price!
Unexpectedly, Yuan Qiu shook his head gently and said with a wry smile: "What should we talk to him about? Spiritual medicine or spiritual sword? Do you think an ascended servant will lack spiritual medicine?"
It's not that he hasn't thought about this, but after thinking about it, he doesn't have any bargaining chips to negotiate with his opponent.
"Forget it, let's talk about it. Elder Murong, please go back to the imperial city, find the Imperial Master, and see how we can avoid this war!"
As the head of the sect, Yuan Qiu really couldn't think of any good solution, so he had to make this decision and let the law enforcement elder leave in person.
Murong Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that Elder Tang has ascended and left, otherwise none of this would be a problem."
…
While the leaders of Qingcheng and Fenghuang Mountain were worrying about the life-threatening battle after the beginning of spring, the three people in the National Preceptor's Mansion had already broken through.
Xiaoju, who had returned from shopping, went back to her house to rest, with only Tang Chao accompanying Li Xiuyuan.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan who was putting away the cinnabar on the talisman paper on the table, he asked, "Brother, when did you learn to write this thing?"
"This is for you to use to save your life in the future." Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said quietly: "Don't even think about using it until it's a life or death situation."
After saying that, he handed him two brocade bags and said, "You and Xiaoju have one each. There are three talismans in them, which can save you three times. Are there any more?"
When Tang Chao heard the strange cry, he shouted, "We are brothers, can you give me one more card?"
"No, you can't always rely on external forces to practice." Li Xiuyuan coldly rejected him.
After saying that, he took three more brocade bags and handed them to Hua Tianxia and the others, and quietly replied: "Sister Hua is the same as my two godsons and goddaughters. Each of them has a brocade bag. You can put it away yourself."
The three people who had not yet recovered from the broken situation looked at Li Xiuyuan in front of them and were speechless for a moment.
However, Hua Tianxia understood. He gently took the brocade bag and handed it to the two people around him. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Where's your elder brother's?"
"I will give it to him and the Emperor and Queen some other time."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "It's cold today, how about cooking some meat tonight?"
Hua Tianxia smiled weakly: "It's up to you. I think these two guys will like it very much. After all, Yeluyan and I are not very good at barbecue."
Tang Chao chuckled: "That's right, my brother's roasted meat is the most delicious."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, wait until Xiaoju has slept enough, and then wake her and Xiaohei up."
Hua Tianxia put away the brocade bag in his hand and smiled: "Have a drink tonight?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Sister Hua, don't worry, the wine can be enough!"
Nalan Ming pointed at Xia Ruoyu and said, "Daddy, can the princess sister drink it?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. If Yeluyan doesn't come to pick me up, I'll rest for the night at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion."
…
The Great Cold Night seemed longer than in previous years.
After the banquet in the palace, the ministers hurriedly said goodbye and left. This kind of weather was suitable for staying at home, accompanying old children, and holding a cup of hot tea.
Nalanyu did not rush home, but carried the food box and came to the prison.
Sooner or later, this will be his business. He can't avoid it by lying down. It's better to finish it earlier and feel at ease.
After receiving the news, the female cell leader pushed Su Qingyue out, washed her specially, and changed into a clean white skirt.
Nalan Yu turned on the oil lamp a little brighter, took out the food and wine he brought, put them on the table, and gently pushed them in front of Su Qingyue.
He said quietly: "Mr. Su, would you like to try the wine brewed by the master?"
"When did that guy learn how to make wine?" Su Qingyue, who didn't want to speak, couldn't help but say something.
Nalan Yu carefully poured two glasses of spiritual wine into the cup in front of him and sighed: "My brother was a drunkard's apprentice at the time. This wine was not brewed in the Five Realms. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. ."
"It turns out that he is actually a disciple of Jiu Jiu..."
Su Qingyue reached out and picked up the wine glass in front of her, put it in front of her lips and smelled it, then took a shallow sip, and then sighed quietly.
"If I had known this, why should I be greedy for the imperial power and wealth of the Five Realms?"
Su Qingyue sighed quietly, and then said: "I have something unclear. Please tell me the truth, General Nalan."
Nalan Yu also took a sip of wine and replied with emotion: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Su."
"Does the Imperial Master really have no cultivation at all?"
Su Qingyue murmured: "Why can't I see any spiritual energy fluctuations in his body when I look at him? Or is his cultivation already beyond our ability to understand?"
Nalan Yu felt a little weird. He didn't expect Su Qingyue to care about this matter. After all, this was something he and Hua Tianxia once cared about.
He never thought that one day he would sit opposite Su Qingyue like this and talk about it. This was really an incredible thing.
"It just so happens that I am also concerned about this matter, and I asked him specifically before."
Nalan Yu said quietly: "The Imperial Master said that his cultivation is just as we have seen, and that he returned to the Five Realms just to transform himself into a real mortal."
Even now, Nalan Yu still can't understand this truth.
A monk who ascended with his physical body went all out to come back here just to turn himself into a mortal?
For this reason, he was deeply confused, even more confused than Su Qingyue.
"He actually wants to turn himself into a mortal?"
Su Qingyue took another sip of wine and said, "There is a faint floral fragrance in this wine. It seems that this is his deliberate work."
Nalanyu continued: "I don't know either. After all, none of us have experienced ascension, so we don't understand what he is thinking? He is a weirdo."
After thinking about it, Nalan Yu added, "He told me that Hua Luoyu, Hua Tianxia's younger sister, and Ouyang Dongli, the sword idiot."
"Also Taoist Priest Qingxu from Fangcun Mountain is back...as you know, they are all masters who have ascended and left."
He let out a long sigh, looked at Su Qingyue and said, "There are some things that I don't understand. I'm afraid I can only ask them after my girl comes back."
Su Qingyue was stunned for a moment, put the cup on the table, and Nalan Yu added some spiritual wine for her.
"Hua Tianxia's sister is back too?"
Su Qingyue said quietly: "I really don't understand. Even Ouyang Dongli, who can make swords, is back. Is it possible that something big will happen in the five regions?"
Thinking of this, Su Qingyue regretted that she was too impulsive.
Maybe when Hua Luoyu comes back, she won't have to fight for the useless throne with Concubine Li.
Can you live forever if you become an emperor? Can you ascend as an emperor?
Some things, only after you own them, will you understand that the seemingly shiny things are not as beautiful as you imagined.
There are too many things that cannot live up to the reputation.
And he is the unlucky one.
Nalan Yu also sighed and laughed: "I didn't know that my brother said that the outside world is more cruel, and that my sister Luo Yu is probably tired of the strife and wants to go back to the Five Realms to live a quiet life."
Su Qingyue was startled, and a picture immediately appeared in her mind.
The sword slashed out from Li Xiuyuan's eyes above the Golden Palace. She estimated that even Nalan Yu didn't know the secret of the Imperial Master.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The Imperial Master deceived Li Mingzhu back then, and now he is even more capable of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger."
Nalan Yu was stunned, thinking about it, this was really the case.
How could a person without cultivation behead Su Qingyue, who was in the realm of Nine Tribulations, down on the court? How to kill the eunuch and the queen with swords?
But he didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at Su Qingyue with extremely complicated eyes and said slowly: "I respect him because he is my brother."
Su Qingyue drank three glasses of spiritual wine, ate some food, took out a silk scarf and gently wiped the wine stains from the corners of her mouth.
"Tell me, you won't come to me for no reason, just to buy me a few glasses of spiritual wine."
Su Qingyue said quietly, as if she had already understood the intention of Nalan Yu's arrival tonight.
A sad smile appeared on Nalan Yu's face. He knew what he was going to face today, and he also knew that it was a thankless task.
Just when he thought of the dead Xia Yunlan and others, his eyes became much colder.
He said quietly: "After the spring begins, the Imperial Master will go to Qingcheng and Phoenix Mountain."
When Su Qingyue heard this, she couldn't help but sigh quietly.
Said: "Now that I am a rebel, everyone will kill me. Is he going to take me to Qingcheng?"
The expression on her face changed again and again, and Su Qingyue finally calmed down, and her tone of voice became indifferent, as if she was looking forward to dying in the hands of the national master.
The corners of Nalanyu's mouth moved and he said a few words that only Su Qingyue could understand.
Then he smiled bitterly and said: "I don't dare to guess what the Imperial Master is thinking. It's just that he doesn't want to let Mr. Su suffer anymore, but it really surprises me."
When Su Qingyue heard this, she couldn't help but giggle, with tears in her eyes, and she coughed a mouthful of blood with a smile.
In an instant, the white skirt she had just put on was dyed red.
Looking at the woman in front of him who had once made the entire five realms jealous, Nalan Yu sighed softly...
The door of the heavenly prison was closed tightly again. No one knew what happened inside, but everyone knew that the once glorious queen was a thing of the past.
The wind and snow are still there tonight, and the snowy moon is not visible.
It seems that even the stars and the moon in the nine heavens do not want to see cold and heartless death.
ps: This chapter is depressing. Think about it, everything can’t go as planned, right?
