On the bank of the Qinglong River, inside the large sheepskin tent, Yelvxian was lying quietly on the soft bed. His clothes had been untied, and a large handprint appeared on his back. When Xiao Chuo saw this, he stood quietly with a frown on his face.
A Buge and Xiao Dalin stood behind her without saying a word. After a long silence, Xiao Chuocai said softly: "Tuo Ning, help me convey the decree and summon the civil and military ministers to the Qinglong River quickly. After the emperor's funeral,
, hold the new emperor’s enthronement ceremony immediately!”
Xiao Dalin clasped his fists to his chest and nodded to accept the order. Xiao Chuo said again: "Abu Ge, the fingerprints on His Majesty's back, please keep it secret for now and don't make any announcement."
Abu Ge clenched his hands and said: "My dear, your majesty must have been attacked before his funeral. Why didn't you investigate this matter to the end? There are no guards in Xuanyi Garden. What is going on? Someone must be secretly doing it.
cause trouble!"
Xiao Chuo waved his hand and said: "Why don't I know that someone is causing trouble? It's just that now is not the time to investigate. I already know about this matter. I just ask you, what did you see under that ancestral hall?"
Abuge said: "Under that ancestral hall, there is a human chrysalis!"
"Human chrysalis?" Xiao Chuo said in surprise, "What kind of human chrysalis?"
Abuge said: "There is indeed a person inside that human chrysalis. Sitting on a stone ridge, all the five senses inside are complete. I can be sure that it is a person!"
Xiao Chuo narrowed his eyes and said, "What happened next? Who was the man in white?"
"The man in white is very skilled. He discovered me immediately after I entered, which triggered a big war. If it hadn't been for him, I would have been able to take a closer look at that man's pupa."
Xiao Chuo closed his eyes, and his heart was filled with turmoil. At this time, Puya walked in from outside the tent, walking in a hurry. Xiao Chuo glanced at her and gasped: "Okay, Abuge, you stay here first
Your Majesty's dragon body is here to be guarded. Tuo Ning, you should go do your own thing and remember to invite more mages and monks." Then he looked at Yelvxian on the bed, turned around and left the tent.
Pu Ya obediently walked in front to lead the way, turning left and right, and walked for more than a hundred feet, and finally stopped at the edge of the camp. Xiao Chuo walked behind a tent and saw a man in gray with his back to her.
Standing under the waning moon.
"I guess you must want to find me, so I'll come first." The man in gray turned around, looked at Xiao Chuo and said quietly, but his loyal brows and eyes were full of weirdness. It was Zhang, the leader of the Villa's nursing home.
It’s done.
Xiao Chuo stood side by side with him, looking up at the waning moon in the sky, and said melancholy: "There is a murderous intention lurking in this villa, I am so tired."
Zhang Chengdao: "Only when the danger is eliminated can you sleep peacefully. Madam, it's time for you to make a decision."
Xiao Chuo was silent for a moment and then said: "Do you know what is under the ancestral hall?"
Zhang Cheng was silent for a moment and then said: "I don't know what's inside because I've never been there."
Xiao Chuo stared at his face and said suspiciously: "You have never been down there?"
Zhang Cheng, however, just raised his eyes to look at the sky: "Actually, it doesn't matter what's there, what's important is the people. Isn't the most terrifying thing in the world the human heart? Then Yan Feiyun's amazing skills are astonishing. If it weren't for Abu Ge, your men would
Who can be his opponent? If he really comes to assassinate you, who can resist him?"
Xiao Chuo was shocked. Thinking that what he said was indeed reasonable, he murmured: "I still have Xiaozhong, he is loyal to me."
Zhang Cheng smiled coldly: "I have watched Xiaosi grow up. He has a simple heart and is extremely loyal. If Ling Wanjun and Yan Guichen really want to break with you, empress, who do you think he will help? Yes.
Is it you? Ling Wanjun picked him up from the Central Plains and brought him to the villa to raise him. Besides, he also had a childhood sweetheart, Ling Xiaoxiao, by his side. Even if he left without helping each other, you would still be very heartbroken and helpless.
Bar?"
As soon as these words came out, they hit Xiao Chuo's weakness again. His body was slightly shaken, and his face was completely drained of blood. Zhang Cheng said leisurely: "One thing that cannot be ignored is Han Derang, the commander of the Zhangde Army, who is currently in the dark.
If Ling Wanjun wants him to start a new battle with the Song army in Yunzhi, it will be easy. When the time comes, he will take his more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to other places and establish a new court. I think your empress will be ready to die.
Right?"
Xiao Chuo bit his lip and remained silent for a long time. His heart felt sour, and water came to his eyes, as if he was about to cry. Zhang Cheng sighed slightly when he saw this, and said in a warm voice: "If these hidden dangers can be eliminated,
Germination, everything will no longer be a problem. When the time comes, I, the Great Khitan, will surely surpass the Great Song Dynasty and become the Zhengshuo Dynasty." After saying this, he didn't even look at her, and walked away along the river embankment.
At this time, the waning moon gradually faded, and the light engulfed the Qinglong River embankment bit by bit. The light became thicker and thicker. In the early morning, the Qinglong River was filled with mist, full of confusion and desolation. Xiao Chuo stood quietly, with mixed feelings in his heart.
List.
Just after midnight in the morning, court officials who had heard the news arrived one after another. A mourning hall was set up on the bank of the Qinglong River. Dozens of eminent monks were chanting scriptures for salvation in the dojo. Their eyes were filled with snow-white desolation. Xiao Chuo's whole body was in plain clothes.
, with a white flower stuck in his ear, looking haggard and elegant, even more charming. Yelu Longxu and Xiaosi, wearing heavy mourning, knelt beside Yelu Xian. Yelu Longxu cried until his eyes were red and swollen, and his voice was hoarse.
There was blood in the tears.
All the officials present knelt down and cried loudly. For a time, both sides of the Qinglong River were filled with sad cries, which could be heard throughout the country.
After crying for a long time, Xiao Chuo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at the court officials, but there was no sign of Ling Wanjun. His brows suddenly furrowed, and he suddenly gritted his teeth, his eyes like knives.
At noon, Xiao Chuo ordered people to put Yelvxian into the coffin, and the coffin was placed in the mourning hall. The rituals continued for seven days, and Xiao Chuo suddenly called Xiao Si to enter the tent.
Xiaosi didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly entered the big sheepskin tent. He saw Xiao Chuo dressed in plain clothes, elegant yet charming, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was worried, so he hurriedly asked: "Why did the queen call me?"
Xiao Chuo smiled bitterly and said in a clear voice: "Xiaozhong, please prepare yourself. Tomorrow you and Longxu will take His Majesty's coffin to Yiwulu Mountain in Beizhen, where His Majesty's mausoleum is."
Xiaosi said: "Queen mother, aren't you going?"
Xiao Chuo sighed and said: "I still have to prepare for the new emperor's enthronement here, so you can go and see off His Majesty on my behalf."
Xiao Si saw her looking melancholy and knew that she was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything more. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Xiao Chuo suddenly said: "Xiao Zhong, Long Xu is only twelve years old this year. He is weak and helpless. You must do it in the future."
Just give him more support."
Xiao Si said: "Since Manjusri and I have a campfire alliance, we are brothers in this life. How can I not care about his affairs?"
With tears in his eyes, Xiao Chuo took Xiaosi's hand and said softly: "Xiaozhong, since you and Longxu became sworn brothers, you have saved our mother and son in danger many times. I am deeply grateful. Although you and I are not related by flesh and blood.
, but I regard you as my dearest child! If I do something that makes you sad in the future, will you blame me? Will you fight me with swords? "
Xiao Si's heart trembled, not knowing what she meant by this. Seeing her sad face, he suddenly remembered that night in Xuanyi Garden, and couldn't help but his heart was pounding, and he hurriedly said: "Mother, what did you say?
How could I go to war with you? I would never do such a treasonous thing!"
Xiao Chuo stretched his beautiful eyebrows, took a long breath, and said slowly: "Xiao Zhong, the late emperor admired you very much during his lifetime. Do you know what the last words he said before his death were?"
Xiaosi shook his head and said confusedly: "I don't know, I was only fighting with Abuge at that time."
Xiao Chuo said: "The last words the late emperor said before his death were, I hope you can always be my Khitan's minister!"
Be my Khitan's minister forever! This short sentence hit Xiaosi's heart like a sledgehammer. Looking at Xiao Chuo's pure and beautiful face, Xiaosi didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly felt a touch of melancholy.
.With no reason, an inexplicable melancholy lingers in my heart, like fog and smoke, which lingers.
Xiao Chuo said quietly again: "No matter when and where, I, the Khitan, will never treat you badly. As long as I am here, you will always be my prince. Now your title is Qinglonghou. When Longxu ascends the throne,
After that, I will promote you to the title of prince and grant you the title of Bohai County. What do you think?"
Xiao Si said: "Queen Mother, I have never had any extravagant desires for a title. As long as everyone lives in peace, that will be fine."
Xiao Chuo smiled and said: "I know you are kind-hearted. If everyone in Khitan were like you, the world would be peaceful!"
After leaving the big tent, Xiaosi returned to his small courtyard, entered the house, closed the door, and said to Lu Qinglin: "Brother Lu, I have to leave for a few days to bury His Majesty's coffin at Yiwulu Mountain in Beizhen. Wait until I come back.
, I’ll take you back to Song Dynasty, okay?”
Lu Qinglin said: "My injuries have healed long ago, it's time to leave."
At this time, a rough voice outside the window suddenly shouted: "Boy from the Lu family, you should have left long ago! If you leave, my good nephew can wander around the world with me!"
Xiaosi pointed to the window and said, "Crazy monk, I'm leaving tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"
The crazy monk said: "Of course, of course! There are outstanding people in Yiwu Lu Mountain. Most of the Khitan royal family are buried there. Maybe you can find treasures there!"
Xiaosi said angrily: "You're talking nonsense again! We are going to bury His Majesty's coffin, not dig up the grave! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't take you with me!"
The stupid monk chuckled and said: "Haha, I'm just going to stop talking nonsense. Just take me there!"
Xiao Si came out of the house and saw Sima Ruiyuan, Yan Feixue and Qing Ge standing in the yard. Sima Xingtian came from his room ### and said to Xiao Si: "Things have happened too much these days.
In a hurry, it’s time for me to leave, but I don’t know what happened to the one-eyed dragon, so I plan to go to Konoha Mountain to look for him again.”
Xiaosi said: "It's very dangerous for you to go alone. It's better to wait for me to come back and let's go together!"
Sima Xingtian smiled and said: "I have been staying with you for more than ten days. I can't stay any longer and want to go out for a walk. Although the one-eyed dragon is ferocious, I still have no problem protecting myself."
Xiaosi asked again: "Will Ruiyuan accompany you?"
Sima Ruiyuan rolled her eyes at her father and said: "I don't care about him! Feixue is leaving soon. I plan to accompany her to Xianling Temple. I heard that the scenery on Juehua Island is very good. I want to go there
Let’s play for a few days!”
Sima Xingtian shook his head and sighed: "Hey, an unfilial daughter brings misfortune to her family!"
Xiao Si was startled, looking at the indifferent faces of her and Yan Feixue, and said to himself: "Why do we have to leave?"
But the crazy monk shouted: "Good nephew, if uncle doesn't leave, uncle will stay with you for the rest of his life!"
Xiaosi suddenly felt dizzy, pointed at him and said: "Crazy monk, if you stay with me for the rest of your life, sooner or later I will be driven crazy by you!"
The crazy monk scratched his head and said, "Good old man, why are you crazy?"
Xiaosi yelled: "Go to the back mountain to catch a yellow sheep! It can't weigh less than sixty pounds. If it weighs less, you don't need to eat at night!"
The crazy monk went crazy and scratched his bald head with his hands: "Hey, an unfilial son will bring misfortune to his family!"
Sima Ruiyuan burst into laughter and burst into laughter, while Yan Feixue and Qing Ge also covered their faces and smiled. Xiaosi hated to say goodbye the most, and when he saw that everyone was thinking about leaving, he couldn't help but shout: "Why are you leaving anyway? Wait a minute.
Can’t I come back and leave again?”
Sima Ruiyuan remained silent and just looked at Yan Feixue. Sima Xingtian stroked his beard and smiled: "Yiwulu Mountain is more than 160 miles away from here. It will take you at least five days to get there. I can wait.
I’m just afraid that some people can’t wait!”
Sima Ruiyuan snorted and curled his lips at Sima Xingtian. Yan Feixue pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay to wait for you to come back. I'm afraid my mother will be impatient waiting at Xianling Temple."
Xiaosi shook his head and said: "Okay, it's settled. Wait until I come back before you leave. These #### people will stay in the room, and Qing Ge will take care of everything they eat and drink." Then he said to Qing Ge,
"I'll leave everyone's food and drink to you these days. When I come back, I'll roast a leg of lamb for you!"
Qing Ge nodded gently and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of them."
At this time, Chidian interrupted again: "Don't worry, Qing'an girl, I will also take good care of your husband. When we come back, you two will have a wedding together!"
As soon as these words came out, the three women's faces suddenly turned red. Xiaosi jumped up to the crazy monk, struck him hard on his bald head, and shouted angrily: "Crazy monk, I will kill you!"
