Chapter 837 Big shot? I respectfully welcome the return of His Majesty the Holy Ancestor
The continuous spring rain has fallen on the capital of the Zhou Dynasty for more than 400 years, washing away the ancient or brand-new pavilions and buildings. There was an endless stream, and from time to time the dull drumbeat of the Qintian Prison sounded in the distance.
"Pa tah..."
One person and one dog stepped on the stagnant water and walked on a side street. Xin Zhuo silently looked at the sky above the Jiuluan Mountain forbidden land due south. The smoke was hazy, and I looked at the majesty, solemnity and vastness in the direction of the imperial city.
Changed, over fifty years, things are different and people are different.
After a while, he shook his head with a wry smile and glanced at the environment of the long street. This seemed to be Chun'an Square, one of the thirteen squares in the imperial capital. It was this street that Emperor Zhou Yang took when he first rebelled and ran out of the imperial capital.
"The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus and wine fills Andu..."
In a wine shop not far away, the clear and melodious singing of the wine seller Orchid came from.
Xin Zhuo paused for a long time in the rain. He wanted to say something appropriate for the occasion but really didn’t know what to say, so he had to walk towards the wine shop and murmured a poem that was not appropriate for the occasion: "I want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and wine with me." , it’s not the same after all, Young Traveler… ..."
"Osmanthus flowers only appear during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why are you so young and so old-fashioned? Scholars like you who are arrogant and have no real talent are afraid that they will not be able to meet you in the spring. List..."
A middle-aged man wearing a green Sixth Division official robe and a calm expression happened to pass by and scolded him coldly. However, when he saw Xin Zhuo's eyes that were as deep as ancient wells, he swallowed the words below. Feeling cold all over, he bowed his hands in greeting and hurriedly entered the wine shop.
It wasn't until he entered the wine shop that he breathed a sigh of relief and found that his back was soaked. He shook his head repeatedly: "Weird!"
"Sun Sizheng is here. The two adults have been waiting for a long time. I've been selling three jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine for ten years." The wine seller, Hu Ji, came up with a smile like a flower.
"Got it."
Sun Si nodded and walked straight to a table in the corner, where two officials from the Sixth Division in Qingpao were already waiting. Seeing him coming, He waved: "Old Sun, here."
Sun Sizheng walked over and sat down, his face still a little uncomfortable.
A slightly fat official of the Sixth Division smiled and said: "Whose fault is it that makes you look so ugly?"
Sun Sizheng lowered his voice: "It's strange, I was outside just now. I saw a young man, at most 17 or 18 years old, but he gave Sun an ancestor-like feeling, and... I felt like he was like the ninth-floor guy in the forbidden area of Jiuluan Mountain..."
" Brother Sun, shut up!" The fat official immediately shouted. Who doesn't know who broke through the ninth floor of the Jiuluan Mountain forbidden area? How dare you mention it casually? And it’s still such nonsense?
Another slightly shorter official pointed to a table not far away, where there was only a handsome woman with an upright posture. She was also wearing the official robe of the Sixth Division, but it was blue. He lowered his voice and said: "Li Waner, the Supervisor, and Li Yaonv are also there. They are as unselfish as her grandfather, Mr. Li Zhiqiu, the Chief Supervisor of the Supervisory Department. Be careful of being caught!"
Sun Sizheng chuckled: "My boss Ning just praised me, it's not like that!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman in blue, Li Waner, said coldly: "If the three of them talk about the royal family in private, Even Ning Zhiwei and Ning Si are here to arrest you!"
The expressions of Sun Sizheng and the others changed and they quickly raised their glasses: "I drank too much, I drank too much, I'm sorry!"
>
Li Wan'er's face looked better now. She raised her glass and drank alone, her fair and delicate neck slightly raised, looking quite heroic.
Sun Sizheng felt that he wanted to say something to lighten the atmosphere, so he smiled and said: "I dare to ask Li Sicheng, who will host this year's Spring Festival? Could it be the old prince Nanli of Dazhu Kingdom? He is a master of the imperial examination. Fifty years!”
Li Waner didn't seem to care much about this matter and said: "His Royal Highness is ill. This year, Li Xiyue, the Minister of War of the Marquis of Zhenxi, may be in charge, and Feng Shuning, the chief of the Tianyi Division, and Ling Junyao, the chief of the Cexuan Division, will be the assistants!"
Sun Sizheng and the others were speechless when they heard this: " Surprisingly...they are all big shots, and they are also good at military formations, such a terrifying lineup!"
Li Waner looked out the window: "The world is not peaceful, and the war will start soon, and the Western Daqian has conquered fifty-nine countries! ”
The faces of Sun Sizheng and the others changed drastically.
"Why do you all keep talking about the imperial court?"
The owner of the tavern on the side, a middle-aged woman who still retains her charm, smiled and said: "It is said that the Tianwu Ranking has come out. The number one master in the Imperial City will be Li Zhiqiu, the chief executive of the Supervision Department this year?"
Who is the owner of this tavern? Even though Li Waner and Sun Sizheng were masters of the ninth rank of Earth Immortal, they did not dare to make excuses as court officials, and they all nodded.
Sun Si Zhengdao: "I heard that the Chief of the Supervision Department has entered the Third Sea of Yinxu, and he is indeed the number one master. However, it is said that the Chief of the Tianyi Department, Mr. Feng Shuning, is as powerful as him? "
The fat official shook his head and said: "When it comes to cultivation strength, it actually depends on the Taiping Palace. , Old Palace Master Jian Jiuqing didn’t mention it, Palace Master Yuan Chengfeng didn’t mention it, Elder Shui Qingliu alone has already entered Yangshi!”
Li Waner sneered: “The top master in the Imperial City on the Tianwu Ranking, He’s talking about court officials, how can he include the otherworldly sects in the Taiping Palace?”
"You can't say that. The number one master in the imperial capital naturally counts. If we only talk about officials, then does His Highness the Crown Prince count? It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince is also close to the Yinxu realm. There are also the Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Nanling King, and the Ninth Prince. Princess Huai, Pingjiang Princess..."
Sun Sizheng was still arguing, but found that the boy and the dog he had just seen outside had also entered the wine shop, sat down not far away, and ordered a pot of roasted knives and ten kilograms of cooked beef. and a bowl of mutton noodles.
This old-fashioned way of eating is really rare these years.
Sun Sizheng looked at the young man carefully. Maybe it was because of the angle, but he didn't feel scary anymore. He felt angry for no reason in his heart. He frowned and asked: "Young man, who are you from? Look at you. The clothes don’t look like the people of the Zhou Dynasty, can there be a way to lead?”
This sentence instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant, especially Li Waner, whose eyebrows were slightly raised and her eyes were cold.
Xin Zhuo didn't even raise his head. He drank and ate beef by himself, and threw a cup to Xiao Huang.
“I’m asking you something!”
Sun Sizheng repeated.
Xin Zhuo still ignored it and seemed to have really not heard what Sun Sizheng said.
“Bang!”
The girl Li Waner suddenly slammed the table, "Young man, your clothes are from Western countries. What do you want to do when you come to Dazhou?"
"Eh?" The proprietress of the Dixian Master Tavern smiled and smoothed things over. , "My lords, I am doing business here. If I want to investigate a case, I have to wait until my guests have finished eating and drinking before investigating. How about that?"
Sun Sizheng sneered and said: "He looks like someone with money. "
The proprietress said: "It's not easy for young people to go out and they don't have money, so I'll treat you to this meal!"
The group of people fell silent and just started drinking by themselves. His eyes stared at Xin Zhuo from time to time.
This young man is taciturn, and his attire is indeed not that of a Zhou Dynasty person. Recently, the Daqian Empire is on a campaign in all directions, and the news of the upcoming war is very popular, which makes people feel uneasy. What if a spy comes...
At this moment, a ten A slim and handsome girl of four or five years old suddenly burst in from outside the door, her face turned pale: "Help! Help!"
"Huh?"
Li Waner and Sun Sizheng all looked at each other. He stood up and looked outside coldly. In broad daylight, at the feet of the emperor, in the heart of the imperial capital, who could not rob a civilian girl?
I saw a young man of 12 or 13 years old with oily hair and a pink face quickly come in from the door, accompanied by three servants, with a sinister smile on his face: "Little lady, let me see where you are running?"
< br>
The moment they saw this young man, Li Waner and Sun Sizheng sat down, as if nothing had happened, and kept drinking.
The girl panicked, stumbled, and suddenly threw herself on an empty table. The young man smiled like a wolf, rushed forward, grabbed the girl's skirt, and pulled it with a "tear" sound. Drop: "Run? Are you running again?"
Seeing the girl crying and wailing, Li Waner and others' eyelids twitched slightly, but they remained indifferent.
Xin Zhuo finally looked up.
Little Huang at his feet said in an incomprehensible way: "It's this old trick again. Although it's fun, what's the point? Why aren't there women from powerful families robbing civilian men?"
< br>
Xin Zhuodao was silent.
Seeing that the young girl was stripped clean, her face was ashen, and she was about to bite her tongue and commit suicide. The proprietress of the wine shop who had been watching coldly suddenly stepped forward and stretched out a hand to block the gap between the young man and the young girl: "Enough is enough. Come on!"
The young man was stunned and looked up at her: "You dare to stop me? I know you, but you think you can stop me just because you are an earthly immortal?”
The proprietress Hua Jiuniang smiled bitterly: “It’s not easy for a folk girl to practice, so naturally she can’t offend His Highness, but in my case? I can’t ignore the misbehavior of the wine shop!”
“Hua Jiuniang!”
"Be careful!" Li Waner and Sun Sizheng shouted in unison.
The young man also cursed: "You still dare to point out my identity? Hua Jiuniang, do you want to live? You, a despicable bartender, have no power in the entire empire." How dare you interfere with my affairs? How many heads do you have to kill your whole family?”
Hua Jiuniang’s eyes were slightly cold: “I only have one daughter, who is fourteen years old. , was tortured to death by His Highness last year!”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: “I remembered, I remembered, it’s that little girl, so cool!”
Hua Jiuniang's face turned pale, and she suddenly burst out with the momentum of Earth Immortal Seven Turning around, gently shook the young man away, and shouted angrily: "His Royal Highness King Jiaojiang, that's enough, please stop being so presumptuous!"
"Hua Jiuniang!"
Li Waner and others stood up and shouted in a deep voice again.
"You hurt me!" The young man stepped back and shouted angrily: "I will burn down your wine shop, and I will kill you."
"Who hurt my Ji Ji? Shun baby?”
Suddenly, there was the sound of intensive footsteps and the clash of armors from outside. A large group of soldiers from the Thirteen Cities, surrounded by two hundred royal golden-armored cavalry, slowly approached with a seven-carriage car surrounding them.
People along the way gave way and knelt in the drizzle on both sides of the street.
Li Waner and Sun Sizheng rushed to the door and bowed down: "I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Jiuhuai."
"咻咻咻..."
The entire wine shop was instantly surrounded by water, and not a single fly could escape.
"Creak-"
The car stopped at this moment. Eight palace ladies opened the curtain and walked out of a graceful and noble woman who looked to be in her thirties, dressed in a phoenix robe, with silk flowing around her face. Stepping into the wine shop, a pair of phoenix eyes glanced at him, his aura was breathtaking.
"Aunt!" The young King Jiaojiang threw himself into the woman's arms and cried loudly: "My nephew has been bullied. My nephew has to go to the palace to tell his ancestor, the Empress Dowager!"
Princess Jiuhuai's face became colder and colder, and she looked directly at Hua Jiuniang: "Bastard Hua Jiuniang, you are so brave!"
Hua Jiuniang couldn't help hugging the naked girl and retreating. , his face turned slightly pale.
She is just the proprietress of a wine shop at the seventh level of Earth Immortal. The person in front of her is not only Her Royal Highness Princess Jiuhuai, who is extremely skilled in the imperial court, and the legitimate daughter of His Majesty. She is also the eighth level of Earth Immortal. No matter in terms of power, status or cultivation, she is a heavenly being. An underground.
She could almost predict that she would die today, no, Lingchi!
She didn’t even know whether it was right or wrong to save people.
Close your eyes, two drops of tears slipped from the corners of your eyes: "I heard that the Zhou Dynasty had clear political laws and was a pure land on earth. That's why I brought my daughter to live in seclusion. I didn't expect that the nobles of the royal family would behave so wildly, and my beloved daughter would suffer so much." Death, Hua Jiuniang has no regrets in saving people today, but she only hates that... there is no justice in this world!"
"There is no justice for the people, and the prince is fair, otherwise why should he be a prince?"
Princess Jiuhuai said something unintelligible and slowly approached her with an extremely powerful aura.
King Jiaojiang behind him made a face, ran to Xin Zhuo's table and spat at Hua Jiuniang: "Ling Chi is in great pain!"
" Snoring..."
At this moment, there was a snoring sound from the side while eating noodles.
This voice sounded particularly loud in the extremely tense atmosphere of the wine shop, and everyone couldn't help but look over in surprise.
Li Waner, Sun Sizheng and others frowned. If the timing hadn't been wrong, they would have killed the young man.
King Jiaojiang also said angrily: "Idiot, you are killing people, can you make the sound of eating softer? Believe it or not, I will kill your dog!"
The next moment, a sudden change occurred. born.
The boy who was eating suddenly stuck the noodle bowl on King Jiaojiang’s head. Then, without waiting for King Jiaojiang to react, he grabbed his neck and threw him at his feet, then raised a She stepped on his little head with her foot and continued drinking as if nothing had happened.
This scene was so sudden that the entire wine shop, including the street outside, fell silent for an instant.
Hua Jiuniang, who was hugging the girl not far away, was also completely stunned. Even though she was angry with the evil king, she only gently swayed away.
"Bold!"
"Bold!"
Li Waner, Sun Sizheng and Princess Jiuhuai rushed like an arrow from a string.
However, as soon as they reached the front, they stopped again as if to avoid danger.
King Jiaojiang is at the feet of this person. This person seems to have no cultivation on the surface, but he has just shown his skills. I am afraid that his strength is not weak. It would be a shame for him to die, but it is difficult to save the life of King Jiaojiang. That is the palace queen. The lifeblood of the Empress Dowager is the current prince, and it seems that he is not as powerful as Jiaojiang King Jingui!
“Who is this person?” Princess Jiuhuai was furious and waved the long sleeves of her phoenix robe.
Li Wan'er cupped her hands and said: "Back to Your Highness, this person's clothes are shabby and have unique styles. I am afraid he is from the Western countries!"
Princess Jiuhuai said angrily: "Cexuan Division, Zhenwu Division, Supervisor Law Firm What are you doing with Fengjiansi? King Jiaojiang is trapped, let Ning Zhiwei, Lu Jiu and the others die! Once the ancestors in the palace find out, no one can survive!"
"Here! ! ”
There is a master burning incense outside the door to convey the message.
Princess Jiuhuai looked directly at Xin Zhuo: "Young man, let go of King Jiaojiang, there is still a chance of survival!"
Xin Zhuo continued to drink, he didn't want to be nosy, The Yuanji people are martial and mysterious, and every move is unconventional. The Five Elements and Eight Diagrams of the world can be explored casually. Everyone present is as fragile and vulnerable as ants, and they are most likely just descendants or children of the next generation. They can be ignored directly, but... He owed the boss's wife Hua Jiuniang money for a drink. He really didn't have any money and he never liked owing favors.
At this time, he raised his head and looked at Princess Jiuhuai: "Princess? Is this Zhou's surname Ji? Where has that bastard Ji Yu gone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, people around him Quiet again.
Li Waner, Sun Sizheng and others looked at each other, their faces pale, their whole bodies shaking like chaff, and they seemed to have difficulty breathing.
A large number of officials and captains from the Thirteen Cities Military and Horse Division outside had earth-colored faces.
Princess Jiuhuai couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Who are you? If you dare to offend His Majesty, the Emperor's Grandfather, your Majesty will be punished!"
"That bitch became a grandfather?"
Xin Zhuo answered the question incorrectly and paused while drinking.
Son of a bitch? He called His Majesty the Emperor a bastard!
The so-called emperor humiliates his ministers to death, and the entire wine shop is enveloped in a strong and violent murderous intention.
"Dang..."
At this moment, three figures appeared strangely in the room, one woman and two men, both seemed to be in their forties or fifties, dressed in The purple robe and jade belt are majestic and official.
The momentum in that moment actually suppressed Princess Jiuhuai.
The woman among them had gray hair on her temples, a straight figure, her hands behind her back, and said calmly: "What's the matter, Your Highness?"
Princess Jiuhuai has found her backbone, and her tone is slightly respectful: "The three chief ministers are here. It just so happens that this evil boy who comes from nowhere has trapped King Jiaojiang. He should be killed, should be..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the three chief ministers yelling in unison: "Shut up!"
"Uh..." Princess Jiuhuai, Li Waner, and Sun Sizheng looked at each other in confusion. With three chief ministers, even if the three were elders of the Five Dynasties, the emperor respected them to some extent, so how could he dare to refute the royal princess?
However, the next moment, I saw three big shots who used to be high and mighty, looking at the young man who was drinking with blank faces. Their bodies were shaking, their faces were weird, their breathing was rapid, and suddenly they all came together. Bow to the end, pay homage with great salute, and the tone is trembling:
"My ministers, ministers...respectfully welcome...the return of His Majesty the Holy Ancestor!"
