The news of Qianye Pass is conveyed in the autumn of Yunqin.
In Zhongzhou City, Liang Qinqin's palace also knew the final result of this grand event.
Emperor Yun Qin walked into the ice cellar where Ni Henian lived during his last period of time in Zhongzhou City.
The moment he opened the cellar door, the freezing air immediately surrounded him.
Hanyu and Hanbing are still there, but Ni Henian is no longer there. He is the only one in the ice cellar who is deeply enveloped by the freezing air.
Even for Ni Henian, who guarded Zhongzhou City and had eliminated countless powerful practitioners for him in his life, he did not feel very close to him. He only regarded Ni Henian as a courtier and a powerful killing tool.
But now, when the news from Qianye Pass came, and when he looked at the ice cellar and knew that Ni Henian would never appear here again, in Zhongzhou City, the emperor extremely hoped that Ni Henian was still here, still here.
In this ice cellar.
But Ni Henian would never appear in front of him again.
"ah…."
Suddenly, Emperor Yun Qin in the ice cellar screamed like crazy.
The surrounding ice and cold jade were all shattered by his wild screams and the vibrating breath on his body. Countless ice shards bounced in the closed space, and finally fell on him.
He screamed at the top of his lungs and his body arched up.
The ice shards melted on his body, his golden dragon robe was soaked, and his hair was all soaked, making him look extremely miserable.
Everyone in the imperial city who vaguely heard his wild screams had trembling expressions on their faces. Emperor Yun Qin was still a frightening and violent emperor.
However, the emperor in the ice cellar knew very well that after the leader of Purgatory Mountain and Ni Henian were defeated in front of Qianye Pass, the entire Zhongzhou City and Zhongzhou Imperial City were no longer the most powerful center of the entire Yunqin Empire for him.
, but an extremely depressing prison.
He had the headmaster of Purgatory Mountain to help him deal with Qingluan Academy and Lin Xi.
He also had people like Ni Henian to finally clean up the situation.
However, he didn't expect that just like that, he still failed.
Wang Baxiongtu has turned his head away, so at this moment, he is just a prisoner waiting for the final judgment to come.
…
The coffin of Liu Xueqing, a famous official of the Yunqin generation, is also on his way back to Zhongzhou City.
Liu Xueqing did not leave any last words, but all Yunqin officials in Qianye Pass believed that he must be buried in the national tomb in Zhongzhou City like the founding heroes of Yunqin and be respected by future generations.
Yunqin people have their own judgment on whether an official is good or bad. Wherever the team transporting Liu Xueqing's coffin passed, there was a cry of mourning. Countless Yunqin people, dressed in white, walked along the road to see it off.
Lin Xi, who had a very pale face, walked out of a carriage. He stood on the front of the carriage and looked at the paper money scattered on the road in the distance and the Yunqin people in white clothes beside the road. He was silent for a moment, and then walked into an ordinary farmhouse behind him.
Small courtyard.
This small courtyard located in a rural area in the southern part of Nanling Province is very ordinary. There are some roses planted on the walls of the courtyard, and some leeks and chives planted on the dirt ground in the courtyard. However, there is a person sitting in the room in the courtyard.
A very beautiful woman with thin lips.
The woman looked at Lin Xi who opened the door and came in. After an unknown amount of time, she smiled slightly, the smile was very sad, and said: "You don't seem to be surprised at all that I want to see you?"
Lin Xi looked at the beautiful Princess Yunqin quietly, sat down in front of her, smiled, nodded and said: "If it's unexpected... I do have some arrangements for you in Qianye Pass.
But since you have done these things for Qingluan Academy, and since you are here and want to see me to talk about something, I will naturally not be surprised."
"I know why Liu Xueqing chose to commit suicide." Princess Yunqin's eldest grandson Muyue's eyes were slightly red and she said slowly: "In fact, I should die more."
Lin Xi could understand her emotions, and he also understood that what the other party needed more at this time was comfort, but he still couldn't help it and mocked: "Even if you die, the emperor will only be more angry and will never get your anger."
, he probably won’t shed any tears for you. If you appeared in front of him now, he would probably only think about doing crazy things before he died."
Princess Yunqin lowered her head. She knew what Lin Xi said was right, so she couldn't say anything for a moment.
Lin Xi looked at her and thought of the past events a few years ago.
If it were not for Changsun Muyue, he would not have participated in the Qingluan Academy exam. Even if it was still possible to become a practitioner, he might not have met Gao Yanan, Jiang Xiaoyi and Li Kaiyun... Therefore, Changsun Muyue also changed his life.
.
From a certain perspective, it was equivalent to the eldest grandson Muyue personally bringing Emperor Yunqin to his end in the Imperial City of Zhongzhou.
But he also thought of those people who would never see him again, and thought of Yun Qinliang, a man like Liu Xueqing who should have great ambitions, but had to go through a life of pain, but his heart became even colder. He looked at it seriously.
The eldest grandson Muyue said softly: "You should know the emperor better than me, and you should also be more disappointed and desperate for him, otherwise you would not have fled Zhongzhou City and finally chosen to side with us, so don't stop for some so-called
If you can't bear it anymore, ask me for mercy again."
Lin Xi's attitude seemed too indifferent, but when she raised her head and looked at Lin Xi, her eldest grandson Muyue understood that it was precisely because Lin Xi was not as indifferent as some people she knew that she was so determined at the moment, so she took a deep breath
He breathed out, then nodded, looked at Lin Xi as calmly as possible, and asked: "What are you going to do next?"
"What are you going to do next?"
This is a very vague question that can have many different answers. However, because she is the eldest princess of Yunqin, in the world of practitioners, it is already Lin Xi's era, so this question can only ask one of the most important aspects.
, issues related to this empire.
"You are not as heartless as people outside say."
Faced with the question of Changsun Muyue, Lin Xi first said this seriously, and then continued: "If the Changsun family succeeds the Changsun family, the least number of people in Yunqin will die, so if you are willing to pay, you want all Yunqin to
If everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and will always have the courage to pursue true glory, I will choose to let him hand over the throne to you."
Changsun Muyue's eyelashes trembled fiercely, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Why isn't it you or someone from the college?"
Lin Xi looked at her quietly and said: "This should be the idea of the emperor and the secular world. The headmaster of Purgatory Mountain is not interested in sitting on the dragon throne. I always feel that there are too many beautiful places in this world, even if I am doing
A traveler who travels quietly is more interesting than being tied to a dragon chair. I always feel that if everyone in Yunqin can have food to eat, live a good life, and praise you, this is
It's a heavy burden and a very hard job. I can't understand why some people want to desperately grab this dragon chair and a bigger dragon chair."
"I can believe that your ideas are different from ordinary people, or that many people in Qingluan College disdain to care about such mundane matters." Changsun Muyue looked into Lin Xi's eyes and said, "But many people in Zhongzhou Imperial City and Qingluan
The conflict with the academy is that Qingluan Academy is always changing the world’s ideas, including views on imperial power.”
"You yourself don't think that the Changsun family is the eternal ruler of the Yunqin Empire appointed by God. Dean Zhang doesn't think that someone is born to be above others, or even decide the life and death of others." Lin Xi smiled and said
: "Qingluan Academy is indeed changing the world's thinking, but I can understand what Dean Zhang has done, and I will adopt the same gentle methods as him to slowly change the world. What you have to do
, I just want to make the Yunqin Empire better, so that all Yunqin people will increasingly feel that this is a promising empire, and an empire worthy of all Yunqin people using their lives to defend."
After saying this, Lin Xi suppressed her smile, turned to look out the window, and added softly, "So be like Liu Xueqing. All Yunqin people regard him as a high official, respect him, and admire him.
However, throughout his life, he regarded himself as Yun Qin's servant."
The eldest grandson Muyue thought for a while and wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
"Don't think too far." Lin Xi saw her thoughts and said seriously: "Don't think about what is possible in the future. We live in the present, not in the future. Just think about how to do our own things well."
.”
The eldest grandson Muyue is a bit fragile. She has always been a very strong person. Although the years have not left many traces on her face, her actual age is much older than Lin Xi. But at this moment, in front of Lin Xi, she
Like a girl who is smaller and weaker than Lin Xi.
She lowered her head and was silent for a long time, bit her lip, and asked timidly: "If he is unwilling to give up the throne, then what are you going to do?"
"I will kill him." Lin Xi decided not to give her any room for fantasy. He said this categorically, and then said: "What you have to prepare is how to eliminate the impact of me killing him. This will make
The changes in Yunqin are more gentle, and fewer people can die."
The eldest grandson Muyue said in a trembling voice: "Can you give him some time? Maybe he will repent and change."
"I'm not in a hurry right now."
Lin Xi laughed, and laughed very relaxedly, "Most of my enemies are dead, and the enemies who could destroy Qingluan College are no longer around... I have never felt that I have so much time. From now on, I don't have to
Hiding and rushing, I don't have to rush here and there to do anything. I even have a lot of time to spend in a daze. And I still need a lot of time to make my cultivation higher, so that even if I face him alone,
