Mr. Peng Keng entered the city. He was actually walking alone, but he was recognized outside the East Gate. The carriage that General Dongmen invited him to board was heading to the palace. This news was like having wings.
The news spread rapidly in the capital, and the people who heard the news flocked to the avenue leading from the east gate to the palace, wanting to see the true face of Lord Peng Keng.
Huwa has not returned to the country for a long time. In fact, since the beginning of the National War, he has not appeared publicly in the capital. Even if he comes back, ordinary people cannot see him. After the meeting in Baichuan City, he was even outside
Traveled for several years.
But in the past five or six years, his prestige and reputation have become higher and higher. Most ordinary people have never seen him in person, but they continue to hear about him. Huwa’s latest public appearance
It was in Yeliang City, when his reputation reached a new peak.
And just in the past two days, people in the capital heard that Master Peng Keng had broken through the realm of transformation. Many people didn't know what the so-called realm of transformation meant. Anyway, it was a transcendental transformation, which can be called a living god! The legendary Bai Sha
, Jiansha, and Mingsha are all masters of transformation, and they practice on the sacred mountain all year round.
After hearing such news, everyone was very curious and wanted to see the living Lord Pengkeng with their own eyes. After Huwa entered the east gate and walked not far, he was surrounded by people coming from all directions. Both sides of the road were densely packed.
He was a man. Everyone consciously left an open space for carriages to pass by. Everyone looked at the road and worshiped.
Huwa also felt that he was having a little too much fun today. He just went to the city to find a servant. Why did he make such a big noise! The car of General Dongmen did not have a hood, only a roof was propped up on the roof.
Holding a big umbrella to protect the sun, Huwa sat in the car, and the people around him could see him clearly.
Along the way, I kept seeing people saluting and hearing people's greetings. Even the side streets on both sides of the avenue were crowded. The carriage could not go too fast. It could only move forward slowly through the crowds.
, Huwa sat in the car and kept returning the greetings to everyone.
Huwa can sense that the people's greetings are all sincere. Although there is a somewhat herd mentality, they are not coerced by others. The emotions they show at this moment are truly respectful and respectful. If Shao Wu sees this scene
, I don’t know how to feel about it. Rumors against Mr. Peng Keng were spread some time ago, but they did not damage Huwa’s prestige. At least in the capital.
The reason why those rumors spread so widely and so quickly is because they were targeted at Mr. Peng Keng. If it were about cats and dogs, who would care? And the reason why Mr. Peng Keng has the reputation he has today
, that’s because of the truly amazing achievements, nothing has changed about this.
Rather than saying that everyone is paying homage to Hu Wa, it is better to say that they are paying homage to Lord Peng Keng, who has made many achievements in the country.
Huwa is observing everyone, and everyone is also observing him curiously. Lord Peng Keng, who is famous in Bayuan, is so young! Huwa broke through the Dacheng cultivation level when he broke out from the Xiaoshan Jundong Mansion.
He had just turned eighteen at the time. Since then, he has always been described as that time. He certainly looked too young. Especially his eyes, which were always as clear as a child's.
If another person, such as a certain dignitary in the clan, was worshiped by all the people in the capital, he would probably feel uneasy, and the king would probably not sleep well. Huwa was very calm, this scene was not
What he wanted, but since he had already met it, he would just deal with it.
The road from the east gate to the palace was not long, but it took Huwa several times longer than usual. In the square in front of the palace, there were guards separating the onlookers. Huwa got off the car and climbed the steps.
But he was visited by another group of people.
The court meeting in the country has ended, but the ministers did not leave after hearing the news, and remained outside the palace gate. At this moment, they all came to greet Mr. Peng Keng. Huwa returned the gifts and greeted them one by one, and it was lively for a while. Finally, the young master
When Wu took his arm and walked into the palace, Huwa smiled bitterly and said: "I came to the city to see you. I didn't expect that there was such a big commotion. Is this considered to be burdened by fame?"
Shao Wu also smiled and said: "You are not the one who is burdened by fame! Some people are burdened by it, some are afraid of it, and some enjoy it all. But junior brother does not care. Just because he has never cared, so
I didn't expect this to happen. You came to me in such a hurry. You didn't send anyone to say hello in advance. There must be something urgent, right?"
Huwa: "I'm not in a hurry, but there are some things that I can't let too many people know about yet. Find a quiet place and let's talk in private."
The young minister brought Huwa into a side hall of the palace, where he usually summoned his subordinates to discuss matters privately. As soon as Huwa sat down, the young minister smiled bitterly and said: "Junior brother, you see me first.
Meet the sisters-in-law and nephews, everyone is also very curious about you and wants to see what you look like, and I can't stop you."
Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, Huwa still did not get rid of the fate of being watched. The concubines and the servants in the harem had also admired the name of Lord Pengkeng for a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to come and pay homage. Now Huwa could not stay safe.
After sitting down, he quickly got up and walked to the hall, returning the greetings to the waves of people who came to "visit" him.
Shaowu has been diligent in state affairs these years, but he has not delayed other things. He has several children. The most favored one in the harem is Hanxiong's sister Li Fei. When Li Fei came to see Hu Wa, she was still holding a baby.
Two-year-old son. This is Shaowu's eldest son, named Houyan.
From the name Shaowu gave his son, we can see the monarch's aspirations. Houyan, as the name suggests, is to inherit the achievements of the founding king Yanzhao. Later generations often say it is auspicious, and the name Yanzhao was indeed auspicious at that time.
It is extremely auspicious, which means "if you follow him, salt will appear".
Houyan was already able to stagger around and speak some simple words. Concubine Li asked Houyan to give Huwa the apprenticeship ceremony. It took a lot of effort to make such a young child look presentable.
This made the young minister laugh out loud. After finally waiting for the side hall to be clear, the young minister asked Huwa again: "What do you think of Hou Yan? He is Hanxiong's nephew and also your nephew."
Why didn't Huwa understand what Shao Wu meant? Just now, Concubine Li had to teach such a young boy to bow to him as her teacher. I'm afraid she had the intention of clinging to him, a master, and wanted Hou Yan to worship him as her teacher. In this way
Come, this young master's status will be consolidated in the future.
Huwa smiled bitterly and said: "Senior brother, you are too impatient! It is normal for Concubine Li to have such thoughts, and why should you bother? The child is still too young. If you place your hope in him, you should cultivate and train you just like the late king.
Go train him and see what kind of person he can become. If it is suitable, do you think I will be stingy in teaching him anything? But raising his status too early may not be beneficial to the child."
Huwa didn't say everything he said, but the young master also understood it. Houyan had an uncle like Hanxiong, and his status in the royal family was already higher than that of other young masters. If Huwa accepted him as a disciple so early, would he be able to practice in the future?
There are two theories about success, and the successor is not accepted in this way. But it is tantamount to implying that he will be the heir to the throne.
Hou Yan has been so popular since he was less than two years old. He is too busy with state affairs and can't watch him every day, and who else dares to offend Hou Yan's mother and son. This child will inevitably develop arrogant habits. Besides, if any of the other princes succeed to the throne,
During the war, Hou Yan would become the target of plotting by others from a young age. It was not like Shaowu himself had never experienced this kind of thing, but it was already after Shaowu became an adult.
The young minister did not mention this issue again and said instead: "Let's talk about business. Why did junior brother come to me suddenly?"
Huwa did not speak, but quietly sent out a spiritual thought. Shaowu was stunned for a long time before he recovered from the surprise and said: "Such a thing can happen!"
Huwa nodded: "It really does happen. Mr. Cangjie told me, and then I knew... There is a small world of 800 miles opened by the Immortal Family in Bujin Mountain, and now I have mastered the method of opening the portal.
.”
Don't underestimate the imagination of ordinary people. Although Shaowu cannot appreciate the realm of the immortal family's magical powers, he can also understand the existence of that small world in his own way. Shaowu understood Huwa's words and immediately realized
It was of great significance, so he asked again: "What do you plan to do with that little world, junior brother?"
Huwa: "With these eight hundred miles of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, it may be unnecessary to launch a bloody battle with the Xiangshi Kingdom to solve the remaining situation of the Xiangshi Kingdom. This is a good thing for everyone. We can give the Xiangshi Kingdom a choice, or retreat with followers who swear to death."
Enter those eight hundred miles of mountains and rivers. Or accept your canonization and surrender completely."
The young minister actually stood up and saluted Huwa: "Junior brother, there are some things that I cannot say on my own initiative. The secret of the inheritance of the small world is in your hands, which is your immortal family's cave sky barrier. You
But he has no intention of appropriating it for himself, and is willing to take it out and provide it to the Prime Minister's clan as an option. Senior brother doesn't know how to be grateful!"
Huwa smiled: "When Mr. Cangjie told me this secret, he said that you would be very happy, because he knew what I would do. You don't have to be grateful too early. After all, the fairy's cave has not been opened yet.
I don’t know what’s going on inside...Besides, it doesn’t matter whether it’s private possession or not. I don’t need a place with a radius of 800 miles by myself. Even if I want to control that small world, it will be easy for people to live and reproduce in it.
normal."
Shao Wu had the idea of using that small world to solve the remnant situation of Xiangshi Kingdom. But he could not take the initiative to speak, because Huwa could completely turn that place into his own territory. Even Shao Wu could not give him such a large fiefdom.
In exchange. However, Huwa took the initiative to propose the same idea. How could the young minister not be grateful? The young minister could hardly afford to repay this gift, but it was exactly what he wanted most.
But the prerequisite for planning all this is to first open the door to the small world and understand the situation inside. The Shaowu said again: "When do you plan to go to Bujin Mountain, junior brother? Even I want to go with you to see it!"
Huwa smiled and asked: "Senior brother, do you really want to go? I will take you with me then!"
The young minister sighed again and said: "I really want to go, but you know, junior brother, that I really can't leave. I don't know the situation in that small world now. In case there are any unexpected twists and turns, the junior high school at that time
Without you, I'm afraid there will be chaos."
Huwa: "Yes! A king has a king's troubles. Since you have so much, you will also miss a lot. I plan to wait until after the celebration of the summer solstice and go to Bujin Mountain with A Yuan to open the portal to the small world. This is safer.
Senior brother can first send an envoy to Bujin Mountain and specially invite Mr. Sanshui to attend the celebration. There are some things I want to discuss with him alone first." (To be continued.)
