After leaving the bathing incense room and entering the palace road, go straight north for one mile and you will see the main gate of the Yan Palace. The gate is made of mahogany and is high up. There are four-clawed wild carvings on the doorposts. There are eighty-one stone steps below it. On the ground, at the beginning of the stone steps on the ground, two three-legged firebird stone sculptures stood on the left and right, looking very majestic. Shui Han stood still on the ground, looking at the high door, feeling an indescribable feeling of excitement in his heart. I thought that the Jingdi Confucian Hall was already grand enough, but now it seems a bit plain compared to the main hall of Prince Yan's Palace.
The sky was vast. Father Sixi raised his hand under the sky and pointed at the high mahogany door, saying:
"This old slave sent the young master here. The king is in the main hall and wants to meet the young master alone."
Shui Han turned around and glanced at Eunuch Sixi. Eunuch Sixi was hunched over and his eyes were cloudy, but his demeanor had a sense of majesty. Shui Han wanted to take a look at the old eunuch for some reason. Eunuch Sixi When he saw the young man looking at him, he was not embarrassed. He just looked at him for a long time without saying anything. The wind blew between their bodies and then back again, coming and going freely.
After a long while, Shui Han uttered something out of nowhere:
"Thank you, father-in-law, for leading the way."
Eunuch Sixi was a little embarrassed by the sudden thank you. He was just about to reply that this is what I should do. Why should I thank you for such polite words? However, I didn't expect that the young man in front of him finished speaking without any hesitation and immediately turned around. Go, step on the stone steps, hold your head high, and step up.
Eunuch Sixi watched the boy in white gradually go away, and let out a very slight, imperceptible sigh.
…………
Shui Han's legs were very strong, and soon he entered the main hall. The hall was isolated from the outside world and the environment was dark. Although there were lights everywhere, when he stepped into the hall from the outside, there was still a very abrupt contrast, as if Going from open and free to closed and restrained, people instinctively feel a little uncomfortable.
Shui Han walked slowly, feeling a chill in his heart. The gate looked big, but the roof tiles and eaves extended even longer. As a result, only a little sunlight could shine into the huge main hall. He didn't know who the designer was. It's really a bit anti-human.
There is no one around. There is only a screen placed on the other side of the main hall, blocking the scene behind it. The screen has a pattern of birds facing the phoenix, which looks very dignified. From the looks of it, the position behind the phoenix screen should be Where the throne is, some figures can be vaguely seen through the screen.
Shui Han stood still, bowed to the screen, and said carefully:
"Taoyuan Yi Shuihan, pay homage to the king."
For a long time, there was no movement.
Shui Han said again:
"Taoyuan Yi Shuihan, pay homage to the king."
This time the sound was two degrees higher than before.
For a long time, there was still no movement.
After saying hello five times in a row, there was still no response from behind the screen.
Shui Han was surprised. Logically speaking, even if the king was old and in poor health and was taking a nap behind the screen, there was no reason why he couldn't hear him because he screamed so many times and the sound was so loud.
What should we do now?
The host didn't respond. As a guest, he couldn't step forward directly. He was hesitating.
But I heard a sound coming from behind the screen. The sound sounded like someone falling to the ground, but it was not just a human voice. It seemed that there was another sound in it. The other sound felt like something dull. The sound made by the instrument hitting the ground.
After that sound, more than ten breaths passed, and no movement came from the screen. Shui Han suddenly felt something bad, and immediately stepped forward, bypassing the screen to check.
At first glance, Shui Han was stunned for an instant. He saw a person lying on the ground, an old man, a white-bearded old man wearing black brocade clothes with a pattern of mango patterns. Behind the white-bearded old man was a throne with gold edges. Behind the throne. The old man's body was covered with blood, and the old man's body was also covered with blood. There was a sword stuck in the old man's belly. The sword was immersed in half of his body. Shui Han quickly grabbed the old man. The skinny wrist, that wrist, had no pulse. The old man was killed by this sword.
All this shocked Shui Han. He could guess that this white-bearded old man was the king of Yan State. The king of Yan State was killed by a sword piercing his waist and abdomen in the main hall of his palace. This kind of thing really had to happen. It's shocking, but Shui Han is far from being shocked now. He is completely dumbfounded now, and the reason why he is dumbfounded is that the sword that killed King Yan was actually a giant!
How could it be, how could this be possible? Shui Han clearly left the giant to Xiaotian for safekeeping before he left, how could it appear here now? And it was inserted into the belly of the old King Yan.
Shui Han's thinking was in chaos. He had no idea what was going on, and he couldn't understand the current situation at all. When he couldn't help himself, he unconsciously reached out for the giant. At this moment, he had been weaving quietly. Wu suddenly felt something was wrong, and she said loudly:
"Don't take it!"
However, it was already too late. Shui Han's hand finally grasped the handle of Juzi's sword. At this moment, there was a commotion outside the gate, and countless people in Hufu costumes poured into the hall. These people were the guards of Zhili in the Imperial City of Yan. Team, court guard.
The Gotei guards rushed into the hall, and when they saw the scene in front of them, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point. The old King Yan was dead on the ground, and next to him, a young man in white clothes was holding a huge sword in his hand. The blade of the huge sword had already Half of it was submerged into the body of Old Yan King.
The evidence is conclusive and cannot be defended.
"Get this person quickly!"
"yes!"
…………
Jicheng, the residence of Sixi's father-in-law.
Eunuch Sixi pushed open the door and walked in. There was a man standing inside the door, a man dressed in luxurious clothes and with a straight back.
The man was dressed in silk black clothes, with his back to Eunuch Sixi.
Father Sixi was not surprised when he saw the figure from behind. As usual, he slowly locked the door, then turned around and knelt down to face the man.
"Old slave Sixi is happy to pay his respects to the Third Prince."
The man finally turned around, and when he turned around, he realized that he was a man of considerable age, at least fifty years old, but his figure was very strong. Although there were some fine lines on his face, overall, It is perfectly maintained. For an old man, it is very incredible to have such a face. Although his face looks young, his hair is a little sparse and mixed with a lot of white hair. Although he stood upright, he was also holding a crutch in his hand to support his body. The crutch was made of black wood and Nansi. It looked very expensive. Although there were not many fine lines on his face, The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are very deep. These features tell others the fact that this is an old man who is very good at taking care of himself, but in the end cannot withstand the ravages of time and is never willing to compromise with his age.
This old man is the Third Prince.
"Is everything done?"
"Yes, it's all done."
