"you……"
"Are you...Emperor Jianwu?"
The inner guards looked at each other and almost exclaimed in unison.
At the same time, they all subconsciously took a step back, seemingly afraid.
This is the invisible power emanating from a strong aura.
Not comparable to ordinary people.
The old monk put away his majesty and said calmly: "The old monk's name is Huiguo. He is not the so-called Jianwu Emperor. Don't call him that again."
Well……
In fact, to outsiders, these two titles mean the same thing.
That is this, this is that.
Due to cultural etiquette, the five inner guards all clasped their fists symbolically to express basic respect.
Master Huiguo held up his hand and said calmly: "You don't have to be polite! When we meet today, we must have a clean ending, so if we have anything to say, we might as well say it directly."
One of the inner guards said respectfully: "Master, we have received the emperor's secret order to serve you before you pass away!"
Hui Guo nodded and said with a faint smile: "Forget it, today will be as you wish! However, I have a small request. If you agree, I will commit suicide immediately. Otherwise..."
When he couldn't finish what he said, Neiwei nodded and said: "Master, please speak!"
Huiguo pointed to the injured and disabled subordinates on the ground and said: "I will die if I die. It's not a big deal. I just ask you to be noble and let them go!"
Huh? ?
What a strange thing!
In this world, is there still a practice of sacrificing the master to protect the slaves?
Could it be that Emperor Jianwu became kind-hearted after practicing Buddhism?
However, the most shocking thing was the disabled subordinates on the ground. They kowtowed and said: "How virtuous and capable are you, my slave? Dare you condescend to protect me from your master?"
Huiguo's face turned grim and she said coldly: "I have said before that pomegranates have many seeds and can survive for generations. Don't you guys still understand the truth behind this?"
"Uh...this..."
"Well, that's it!"
What kind of riddle is this?
The five inner guards all looked at each other, completely confused as to why.
Qi Yu also frowned when he heard this and began to think about it secretly.
What does this mean?
oh……
I see.
I remember hearing that the child
Tong mentioned that after Emperor Jianwu went into exile in Java, he married several local women in the hope of continuing their incense and passing on the family line. Before, he had deliberately planned to fight against Qiongzhou based on the idea of protecting his young family.
If you take this as a guide, the code phrase is not difficult to understand.
The pomegranate has many seeds, which is a metaphor for his many descendants, and the branches will last for generations, which expresses the meaning of lasting for generations.
If you combine these two sentences, it is the purpose of letting these two surviving warriors protect the safety of the young masters.
The five inner guards didn't know the inside story, so naturally they couldn't figure out the mystery.
Even if you detect the slightest clue, you will misinterpret the true meaning.
The inner guard thought for a while and said with a smile: "You are just a slave. It doesn't matter whether you kill him or not. In this case, I will agree to you!"
"Very good!" Master Huiguo smiled and nodded, and added: "As long as they can leave safely, I will immediately set myself on fire and will never break my promise."
Self-immolation?
The five inner guards were stunned when they heard this, and then they all nodded in understanding.
A king has his own way of dying, so how can his body and head be in a different place?
What happens next becomes much simpler.
As soon as the disabled warrior left sadly, Emperor Jianwu lit the fire.
"Oh, life is just like a dream, it's all over once and for all..."
"In the next life, don't live in the emperor's house again..."
At this moment, Qi Yu suddenly pulled out his pistol and ordered: "Listen to my order and kill the five internal guards with all your strength! However, be sure not to hurt the old monk!"
Gao Zhongde, who was beside him, heard this and immediately responded: "Master Qi, please rest assured. The team I brought here are all sharpshooters. Their bullets are flawless and they can definitely defeat the enemy with one move!"
"That's good! Listen to my order: fire!"
"yes!"
boom! boom! boom!
Qi Yu fired first and accurately hit one person, and then his subordinates followed closely and launched a surprise attack.
The poor five inner guards went straight to meet their ancestors before they even had time to figure out what happened.
As the saying goes, no matter how skilled you are, you are still afraid of the kitchen knife. What's more, is it still such a dense hail of bullets?
All in all, they were all beaten into a sieve shape and died quite completely. Even if Hua Tuo was alive, it would be impossible to save them.
However, this was exactly the result Qi Yu wanted.
But Gao Zhongde was a little confused...
What?
In a sense, the inner guards are also considered members of our own team. Since they are not enemies, why kill them?
Qi Yu smiled faintly and did not explain.
Let's talk about Emperor Jianwu. He was also confused by this sudden change.
After calming down, he asked clearly: "Who is the visitor? Please tell me!"
Hearing this, Qi Yu walked out of the grass, clasped his fists and replied, "Nanyang Qi Yu, I came here to see Master Huiguo."
"You said...you are..."
"Yes, it's just a mere matter!"
After getting the affirmative answer, Emperor Jianwu was shocked again, and his face turned pale.
At the same time, the heart that had just been relieved of doubts was once again suspended.
Qi Yu, why is he here? Why save yourself?
Also, why would he kill the internal guards under the current emperor?
wait wait wait!
This series of confusion instantly enveloped Emperor Jianwu's mind.
After a long time, he calmed down and said calmly and politely: "I don't know if Master Qi has arrived, but I am not welcomed at a distance, so I hope you will forgive me. I wonder what you are doing here?"
Qi Yu smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I wandered here by chance, which has caused trouble to my master. I have no other reason to pay my respects today. I just want a cup of tea to quench my thirst."
The implication is, I saved your life, why don't you give me a cup of tea?
Hearing the words, Hui Guo quickly answered and said: "Master Qi, what are you talking about? It's an honor for the old monk to honor you. It's just that this is a shabby room, with tea in the wilderness, I'm afraid it will taint the reputation of our guests." "
"Haha, it doesn't matter!"
"In that case, please!"
"..."
Emperor Jianwu used dolmen as a stove, brushed grass as firewood, and cooked fragrant tea under a small pavilion next to the thatched cottage.
Qi Yu, on the other hand, sat there calmly, blowing and drinking, savoring the taste.
"Master Qi, why did you save me?" Emperor Jianwu finally couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart and asked first.
Qi Yu smiled faintly and said with deep meaning: "To tell you the truth, saving you means saving me. We are in the same spirit, so I will naturally help you."
oh?
how do I say this?
The old monk stroked his beard and looked puzzled.
