Above the sky.
There was an extremely powerful wave of mana emanating from the mountains, sweeping across most of South Yu Mansion.
Almost all the monks felt the shock of this coercion, and they were all frightened. Some monks guessed that there were powerful people fighting nearby.
Zhao Huai asked Zhou Ping and Dongfang Xuan: "Can you two roughly judge the realm of the two Bodhisattvas? Which level of Nascent Soul they are at."
Dongfang Xuan thought for a moment and gave the answer, saying: "Probably at the peak of Nascent Soul, the old monk is much stronger than the old woman."
Zhou Ping smiled lightly and said: "My cultivation level has just reached Yuanying. I can deal with monks in the middle stage of Yuanying. Dongfang girl and I interacted with each other on the road. Her cultivation level is above mine. She has reached the late stage of Yuanying. Not to mention attacking." It’s okay to kill the fallen, harass them and make them return them in spite of the difficulties.”
Zhao Huai was still very surprised when he heard this.
The lifespan of a Nascent Soul monk is about eight hundred to one thousand years.
The two looked so young, probably no more than a hundred years old, and their talents were excellent among their peers.
As a descendant who guards the Heaven and Earth Altar, his talent cannot be inferior.
Especially Dongfang Xuan, being able to be favored by the previous Yan General means that he must be outstanding.
In the pine forest, after the magical battle, the old Bodhisattva who controlled the blue snake noticed in her consciousness that two Nascent Soul monks were approaching her.
He also knew in his heart that the plan against Dayan had failed, so he called the old monk beside him and prepared to leave.
"Walk."
Granny Su Li and Yang Biao fought against the two Bodhisattvas taught by the goddess for two hours. Their mana was also consumed a lot and they did not pursue them.
After the Nascent Soul Realm, it is very difficult to kill a monk.
Not only did the monks have the ability to escape babies, they were also extremely fast. Without special means, they would never be able to catch them.
It takes a while to practice and come back.
The rebirth of severed limbs is a small matter. Even if the brain is damaged, the heart explodes, or is cut off at the waist, it can be restored quickly.
Hearing this, the old monk with a bun in a bun nodded, waved his hand, and a golden lotus appeared under his feet, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Before leaving, the old Bodhisattva woman sneered:
"If you offend the Shinra Empire, you, Great Yan, will not end well."
When Granny Su Li saw Dongfang Xuan and Zhou Ping coming towards her, she couldn't help but smile on her face and said:
"It seems that the former Yan generals all have successors."
She could tell the origins of the two people at a glance. The techniques used by the other party were similar to those she had seen for hundreds of years.
"Something happened at the Xizhou altar, and my ancestors sent me to come to the rescue."
Zhou Ping cupped his hands in the direction of Granny Su Li.
The person in front of him was very senior, similar in age to the person in his family. It was appropriate for him to call him "senior".
"Two seniors, what is the situation in Xizhou?" Dongfang Xuan asked quickly.
Yang Biao explained in a condensed voice: "There are nine heaven and earth altars in Xizhou, and now five have been lost. Half a month ago, several powerful Seven Realm Demon Lords targeted them. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the demon clan to break through our blockade. I suspect that someone is behind this and is secretly assisting the demon clan."
"Seven Realm Demon Lord?"
Zhao Huai frowned slightly when he heard the news.
Among demons, the first level opens spiritual intelligence, the second level transforms into form, and the third level after transforming into pills can be called the demon king. There are also three, six, and nine levels among demon kings, just like human cultivation, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels correspond to the human Nascent Soul. At different levels, this Seven Realm Demon Lord is like a powerful person who transformed into a god.
The Demon King of the Nine Realms is like a Mahayana monk from the human race who has overcome tribulations and moved mountains to fill the sea, with his body like stars and mountains.
"Now that the Shinra Empire is blocking us, it's probably not going to be easy for Xizhou."
Zhao Huai said this.
At the same time, he secretly thought.
If he could get his wife's help to destroy the Shinra Empire, and then drive Lang Gu's Northern Wolf Empire out of Zhongzhou, maybe the problem would be solved.
"In the past, when the country was overthrown by Great Yan, it was a pity that we could not come out of the mountains."
Zhou Peng said regretfully.
If Great Yan can still remain at the peak of its prosperity as it was hundreds of years ago, then who is the Shinra Empire? It can be destroyed with a snap of a finger.
A hundred years ago, the Shinra Empire did not have the appeal it has today. It was just one of the countries in Xizhou and had not yet risen.
Granny Su Li said: "Ancestor Yan has an order. If the Lord Yan's imperial edict is not present, no one can jump out. Anyone who violates it will be counterattacked by heaven. This is the ancestral law. The oaths you made back then are still vivid in my mind today. "
Zhao Huai was speechless after hearing this.
Why is there such an ancestral law?
Not humane at all.
Even if their own country is destroyed, they are not allowed to come back.
But if you think about it carefully, the responsibility of guarding the altar of heaven and earth is indeed much more important than Great Yan itself.
"I will find a solution for the matter in Xizhou. Before that, please wait in Nanyu Mansion."
Zhao Huai said to the four Flame Generals.
He made up his mind that he must establish communication with Daxia, otherwise he would be at a loss to do anything.
The battle is over.
Zhao Huai returned to the streets of Nanyu Mansion. The gate and alleyway, which was originally in a mess, was also undergoing repairs and repairs. Many injured Sergeants Dayan were also carried away.
Xixie Diao Monk also disappeared. He was obviously rescued by his companions.
Looking at the miserable scene in front of him, Zhao Huai's mood was extremely complicated.
No matter how powerful the enemy was, he could kill it with his sword, but he saw some people being injured, bleeding, or even losing their lives because of him.
He always couldn't help but reflect on whether he had done something wrong.
No, I did nothing wrong.
He has been passively accepting all this. If he had a choice, who would be willing to accept such a huge inheritance or even accept such heavy responsibility.
But he just wants to protect the people around him, what's wrong with that?
Thinking of this, Zhao Huai returned to the room in the manor, with magic power in his fingertips. He took out a jade slip from the Xuan Ring and planned to send a letter.
The imperial capital of Daxia, Yangxin Hall.
Behind the red curtain and glazed curtain is a unicorn copper stove, exuding many cigarettes.
Yu Qinghan, who was wearing a dark blue dress, sat on the white jade table and received a jade slip. This kind of letter is usually used between monks. It is expensive and is worth hundreds of spirit stones. It is a one-time item. .
She held the broken jade slip in her delicate jade hand, and the spiritual consciousness inside poured into her mind. After reading the information in her head, her white eyebrows suddenly became a little complicated and entangled.
"Your Majesty, you look troubled."
The beautiful maid who had been with her for ten years couldn't help but asked cautiously when she saw her expression.
Yu Qinghan held the Howling Wolf brush on the table, stared at the white paper in a daze, held his head and sighed: "My husband wants me to help, but the situation in Daxia is not optimistic now. I am thinking about what to do. "
The atmosphere in the palace was slightly heavy. Then she turned her head and asked the maid:
"Lv Zhu, what do you think of the relationship between Da Yan and Da Xia now?"
Hearing this, Luzhu thought for a moment and gave the answer: "I feel that the relationship is very bad. Both the court and the remaining members of the Great Yan Party regard each other as mortal enemies. This conflict will definitely not be easy to resolve."
Yu Qinghan was silent for a while, various methods came to his mind, but in the end he rejected them one by one.
She sat up, raised her chest slightly, looked outside the palace and said: "The great war in the world will hurt the people the most in the end, and it is the people of the whole world, not just the people of Daxia."
Luzhu didn't fully understand. He held his hands cautiously and said: "I don't understand so much. I only know that it is best if we don't fight. In the end, it is your Majesty who has the final say, and those ministers will naturally have to listen."
"If your Majesty has any difficulty, you may wish to write it clearly in the letter directly to avoid misunderstanding."
Father, like son.
This statement undoubtedly reminded Yu Qinghan and made her realize how to write the content of the reply letter.
"In that case, I understand."
Yu Qinghan thought for a while, and took out a jade slip from the pendant on his snow-white neck, and wrote the current situation of Daxia in the letter, including the news about King Changning and the Demon Sect, as well as the issue of the salt price in the capital, and entered all the jade slips. simple.
Then he injected mana, and the next second, the jade slip disappeared in his hand.
At this time, suddenly, there was a noisy commotion outside the Yangxin Hall.
"This is His Majesty's palace, you can't enter!"
"Why can't she come in? How can she have the dignity to sit in this position!"
The whimpering voice caught Yu Qinghan's attention, and he frowned and asked:
"Who's making the noise outside?"
Luzhu immediately walked out of the palace to check the situation. After checking, he walked into the main hall and reported:
"Your Majesty, I am the Censor of the DPRK."
"Censor?"
Yu Qinghan murmured, stood up from the jade platform, raised his jade hands, and dragged the slender silk scarf on the ground. His slim figure walked towards the door and said in a cold voice:
"Who is making noise in the Yangxin Hall? How is this inappropriate?"
Outside the palace, there was a middle-aged official who was blocked by the palace guards. He was wearing a green robe. Although his rank was not high, his authority was not low. He was the censor of the dynasty and was responsible for impeachment.
"I have met your Majesty. I heard that in the first year of Longxing, your Majesty has been recuperating in the palace and gave birth to a boy and a girl. May I ask your Majesty if this is the case?"
The middle-aged censor raised his hands to Yu Qinghan in a symbolic gesture and asked coldly.
A deep coldness flashed in Yu Qinghan's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Where did you get the news?"
"Since Your Majesty has not denied it, it seems to be true."
The middle-aged censor said calmly.
Then, he shook his sleeves and said with a rather ugly expression:
"Now that your Majesty's private affairs are known to everyone in the court, should your Majesty give an explanation to the ministers?"
"This matter concerns the dignity and face of the royal family."
For a moment, the faces of the two Forbidden Army soldiers holding the middle-aged censor were extremely shocked.
Her Majesty the Empress is pregnant and has given birth to two children.
It is difficult for them to accept it.
In an instant, all eyes were on Yu Qinghan.
If it were normal, they would definitely not dare to do this.
Yu Qinghan clenched her hands tightly, not knowing what went wrong in her heart, but this was undoubtedly a huge blow to her prestige.
"Do I still need to explain to you what I am doing?"
She could only snort heavily.
Someone must have publicized the fact that she was pregnant and had a baby in the palace.
The intentions are sinister and too cruel.
The first time she thought of her uncle, King Changning.
The other party not only wants to crush itself in terms of people's livelihood, but also wants to completely defeat itself in terms of reputation and prestige.
Shatter your perfect image in the eyes of the people.
"Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty!"
"Wei Chen, please meet me!"
"I hope His Majesty will give us an explanation!"
Soon, the sounds of other ministers coming to meet him were heard outside the palace again. Apparently more and more people began to know about this and wanted to enter the palace to meet the saint.
Yu Qinghan was deeply aware of the seriousness of the matter and ordered to the imperial guard on the side:
"What are you doing standing still? Drive them all out of the palace!"
"yes."
Fortunately, the Imperial Guards were elite confidants selected from the Changning Emperor's army and were relatively loyal. Without much hesitation, they escorted the middle-aged censor away.
When the middle-aged censor was taken away, he raised his head and shouted:
"I think Your Majesty should know very well who the father of the child is. This matter is truly a scandal to the world and a national disgrace to our country!"
Yu Qinghan looked serious, called several commanders of the Tsing Yi Guard, and ordered:
"I have a limited time limit of six hours to investigate the originator of the rumors in the capital, and there must be no mistakes!"
"yes!"
The commander in green clothes took the order and left.
During these six hours, Yu Qinghan lived like a year.
She found that the news spread faster than she imagined!
This matter was discussed in the newspapers of the Daxia government, in the mouths of many scholars in the Imperial College, in folk alleys, and in teahouses and taverns.
Many officials also dug out all of her past resume and began to write insulting articles.
If there is no one behind it, she really doesn't believe it.
"The empress has given birth to two sons. What a shame and humiliation!"
"Who is the father of the child?"
"I heard that it's the prince of Dayan!"
"Really or not, so exciting?!"
For a time, there was quite a commotion throughout Daxia.
"Is it true that Her Majesty the Empress murdered the two former emperors?"
"It's very possible. The most poisonous woman has a heart. Hasn't she done this massacre of a city before? She also said she was some kind of savior, wise and mighty. I think it was the tigress who came to power in the past and was so majestic."
Yu Qinghan was sitting in the main hall, her consciousness spreading out, and she heard many maids, eunuchs, and guards discussing this matter in the palace.
His face was more solemn than ever.
Luzhu stood beside him and reminded carefully:
"Your Majesty, the price of salt has risen to five hundred cents per stone. If it continues like this, the riots in the three states of Gyeonggi Province may not be suppressed."
Yu Qinghan pondered and said nothing.
She knew that there was someone behind the scenes causing trouble, but she felt helpless in the face of such a situation.
She is good at marching and fighting, arranging troops, practicing martial arts, and managing the court and appointing people on their merits.
But in all aspects of conspiracy and governing the country, her resume is still too poor.
My workaholic brother Yu Yunping may be very good at it.
But he was long dead.
"What? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress of Daxia are husband and wife!"
"Your Highness, how is it possible? This is not true!"
The entrance of Yantang in Nanyu Mansion.
Zhao Huai, who had just returned from purchasing cultivation resources from the Tianwu Guild, heard the news.
His expression immediately darkened.
He seemed to realize something. Someone was trying to defeat the North and South of Zhongzhou in this way.
At the same time, Zhao Huai quickly received a stream of light flying towards him. He caught it and checked the reply from the jade slip. After that, his expression became worse.
Madam's current situation is very bad.
"Everyone shut up."
Zhao Huai scolded the guard at the door, and then hurried into the house, leaving only everyone looking at each other.
Along the way, I met Sergeant Dayan who was on duty in the past.
He clearly felt that there was an inexplicable look in their eyes.
Song Zhishu, Dongfang Xuan, Zhou Ping, Granny Su Li, Yang Biao and a group of important officials were already sitting in the living room.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
When Song Zhishu saw Zhao Huai's figure, his tone was not anxious, but more of a question.
Zhao Huai was silent for a while and sighed.
Finally, he decided to show off his cards. He glanced at everyone and said seriously:
"Empress of Daxia, my wife!"
