Chapter 205: Your Majesty is the most beautiful scenery in the world
After saying these words, Zhao Duan did not wait for the answer from "Xiaoge Lao". He hit the horse's belly with both legs and rushed towards the palace.
"It's clear that you can't retaliate against me for the time being, yet you still come here and say harsh words. It's true that you have great ambitions but little talent."
Zhao Duan shook his head, no longer treating him as an enemy in his heart.
Russian qing.
He arrived at the palace, reported according to the rules, and was led into the palace.
The familiar older female officer came over and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, come with me. Your Majesty is waiting in the garden."
There are many imperial gardens.
But there is only one famous "flower".
There are no trees or pools at all, only a field of flowers of various colors, crowded together into a "flower sea".
It is said that a certain emperor had a sudden idea and asked to collect all the exotic flowers in the world and transplant them into the palace, which led to the creation of this "Sea of Flowers in the Back Courtyard".
When Zhao Duan arrived, he saw a figure standing in a sea of colorful flowers from a distance, admiring the flowers.
The elderly maid stayed at the right time and stood outside with other waiters.
Zhao Duan raised his chest and raised his head, and walked along the stone path on the ground called "Flower Path" to the empress' side.
Xu Zhenguan was in a very good mood today, and her fair and crystal-clear skin was dazzling under the sun.
The long skirt trailing to the floor flatters your figure, but it doesn't make you look tacky at all.
Her jet-black hair is spread loosely, her delicate nose is delicate, her lips are thick enough, and her eyes are as bright as lacquer under long eyelashes. She is quietly admiring the colorful butterflies flying among the flowers.
"His Majesty……"
Zhao Duan was about to speak, but he saw her shaking her head imperceptibly.
As if afraid of disturbing the butterflies.
Zhao Duan looked back and found that the two colorful butterflies entangled in the flowers were not ordinary creatures.
It has a colorful body, and as it dances, the air seems to be splashing with ripples of light.
After a while, the two colorful butterflies flew away, and then the empress' cold voice sounded: "This kind of butterfly is called the 'Seven-Day Capital'. If an ordinary mortal stares at it for a long time, his mind will be drawn away and he will be in a trance." When you dream, you will recall the happiest seven days in your life.
Therefore, too many people are chasing after it, but this butterfly cannot be kept in captivity. Therefore, if it is caught, it will go on hunger strike and will die within a week.
In the territory of Dayu, there are gradually fewer of them. This pair was invited from the Mubei Forest and has lived in the palace for two hundred years. "
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment. He knew that there were strange beings in this world, but this was the first time for him to come into contact with them at such a close distance: "Your Majesty said that they cannot be kept in captivity? How can they be brought back?"
Xu Zhenguan raised his slender hand and pointed gently at a cluster of pure black flowers in the distance: "That is a matte flower. The Seven Days Capital likes this flower the most, but it is extremely rare.
After birth, out of more than a thousand flowers, 999 will burn due to the sunlight and heat, leaving only one flower.
After swallowing it, you are not afraid of flames, and your body will not break down for hundreds of years. At that time, the royal family also spent a lot of effort to obtain it, so as to lure them to the Seven-Day Capital. "
Zhao Duan was amazed and said:
"I'm just like a dog, burying my head in the world, but I don't know that there are so many magical things in the world."
Xu Zhenguan turned around, looked at him with a smile, and said: "If you want it, I'll reward you."
Zhao Duan was flattered:
"I am not blessed to accept it...Moreover, I think that a virtuous person will live in the treasure."
Xu Zhenguan joked: "Are you saying that you are immoral?"
Zhao Duan laughed at himself:
"Why does your Majesty ask questions knowingly? There are probably not many people in the capital... or even in the world who think that I have anything to do with 'virtue'."
Xu Zhenguan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said seriously:
"You have suffered."
In the eyes of the empress, Zhao Duan's reputation was mostly due to her.
No... I just think it's hard to clean up... Once a person forms a stereotype, how easy is it to change it?
He deliberately showed a nonchalant smile:
“If I can serve His Majesty, this little hardship is nothing.”
"..." Xu Zhenguan stepped forward:
"Come for a walk with me."
…
The two walked in the sea of flowers. When the wind blew over, the flowers fell in love with her. The monarch and his ministers first talked about the changes in the court.
After learning that the battle over the New Deal had come to an end, Zhao Duan felt relieved and said:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
The corners of Xu Zhenguan's mouth curled up slightly, and then he said calmly:
"It's just the first step in a journey of thousands of miles. When the government orders leave the court, they have to leave the capital, go to the nine roads and eighteen mansions, and go to the fields of the people. Even if the officials govern the Qingming Festival and implement it, they will be hindered."
Zhao Duan blinked and said tentatively: "Is it the Eighth Kings that your Majesty is worried about?"
Xu Zhenguan remained silent, which was tantamount to admission.
She shouldn't have said these words to a mere military attache.
But after all these things, she no longer took Zhao Duan lightly:
"My uncles must be keeping a close eye on this place. With their minds and staff, they can understand the meaning of the New Deal with a little thought. Are you just letting it go? Or are you trying to obstruct it secretly?
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. My sword can only sweep through the millions of people in the capital. It is beyond the reach of the whip. "
Zhao Duan frowned, he couldn't speak rashly on this topic.
On the one hand, it is almost unsolvable. Involving the struggle for the throne, any conspiracy or conspiracy is actually of little use.
The best way is to cut the flesh with a soft knife.
When one's own side becomes stronger and the other side becomes weaker, the desire to resist and fight will naturally fade away.
On the other hand, it was also because he was still too unfamiliar with the realm outside the capital city of Yu.
Since time travel, Zhao Duan has almost never left the capital. Among the nine and eighteen mansions of Dayu, he only knows the capital.
He neither understood the situation in various places nor the behavior of the eight kings.
Various strange cultivating groups in the world, Fashen Sect, Wuyang Sect, Ming Sect, White Clothes Sect...
Even outside the territory of Dayu, there is a mysterious and magnificent land with intricate forces.
The Gu God Clan, Mahakala Sect...the ancestral court of Buddhism in the Western Regions...and many powerful people...all just "heard about it".
How can I provide any advice?
“Let’s not talk about this anymore.”
Xu Zhenguan also realized that it was a bit difficult for him to deal with this little imperial army.
Or rather, he was accustomed to the fact that the other party could always help him solve problems, so he said it habitually.
But no matter the threat of the "Eight Kings", helping the remnants of the society, or practicing martial arts, they are all too far away for him.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see something good."
Xu Zhenguan smiled and said:
"Well, if you still want to see this scenery, you can take another look."
Big baby... Zhao Duan looked back, knowing that the empress was going to give him a reward. He was impatient, but his face was sincere: "In my eyes, your majesty is the most beautiful scenery in the world. Can you follow me?" Your Majesty is always learning by your side, and I am satisfied.”
"..." Xu Zhenguan laughed and cursed in a glib tone, then turned around and walked away.
His footsteps, however, inadvertently became a little lighter.
This guy's words are pretty nice...
…
Russian qing.
Xu Zhenguan led Zhao Duan to an empty palace in the palace, with only the words "Martial Arts Field" with dancing dragons and phoenixes on it.
When we arrived, there were eunuchs waiting outside and opened the door.
As the heavy door opened, Zhao Duan saw an empty hall covered with blue bricks and a human-shaped wooden stake in the distance.
On the wooden stake, there is a shining treasure armor.
Xu Zhenguan said softly:
"Go and take a look at the reward I selected for you. This object is called 'Six Talisman Treasure Armor'."
