Emperor will kill

Chapter 10 Help
Wuming country.

The capital city, Xuancheng.

This Xuancheng is really bustling today.

Since the prime minister's blood letter, the emperor has not made any drastic moves.The people in the city moved back one after another, and naturally the scene of trading of Wan surnames began to appear again.

Chen Xiangxi took a bite of the shortbread pancake, and the crispy crispy skin cracked open, and a smell of burnt sesame seeds permeated the air.

The outer skin is crispy and covered with sesame seeds, while the inner layer is soft and tender, especially after being smeared with a layer of butter, it is more delicious.

Just one bite, Chen Xiangxi enjoyed it.

The old man who made the cake smiled wrinkled upon seeing this.

"Girl, look at your expression, it's the first time you eat it. Is it delicious?"

It should be four years ago since the last time I enjoyed this delicious food?

I really didn't expect that the white old man survived that peerless battle and survived.

In the past, she was greedy for such delicacies, so she would always find leisure time. After Yi Rong changed into casual clothes, she sneaked into Xuancheng and bought two, one for the left hand and one for the right. He found a place to wash his hands, then got on his horse and galloped away.

Chen Xiangxi licked the sesame seeds on the corner of his mouth, feeling satisfied.

"It's delicious, it's delicious."

It's a pity that my body hasn't eaten this kind of food for a long time, so I can't enjoy more.

The old man also smiled, pointing to the plaque behind him with great pride.

"This is number one in Tianzi."

Chen Xiangxi was about to answer the conversation with a smile, but his face froze.

Wait, he obviously doesn't like this kind of greasy and meaty food!

She stared blankly at the plaque, her thoughts flooding for a moment.

"The imperial edict written by the emperor himself must be sent to the palace once a month."

It's his word, that's right.

Tall and sharp, as proud as a bamboo branch, a font she is most familiar with.

How could it be him?

In the past, he always felt greasy, and he didn't even want to smell the smell. It was strictly stipulated that such food was not allowed in the palace.

It wasn't until he saw that she was always eating endlessly, so he temporarily sent someone out of the palace to buy it when she was in the past. Why did he suddenly pick out such greasy things to become royal items in the palace?

Ghosts are the body of gods and demons, they have broken through the realm of humans and entered the realm of gods, so they don't need to eat food, so why did they suddenly mention this thing?
The person in front of him is just an ordinary citizen, so he probably doesn't know.

Chen Xiangxi thought for a while, took another piece of sesame seed cake to pay the bill, and then said:
"Old man, I would like to ask, do you know why the brocade store is so crowded these days? It's so lively, isn't it a festival?"

"Are you from out of town? It looks like you don't know yet. Your Majesty, the selection of concubines will be held in the near future. This time the list will be distributed directly to various counties and counties. The scale is unprecedentedly grand. Don't you think this is a celebration? Misses from rich and powerful families will come to tear pieces of silk brocade to make a skirt for themselves, buy some high-quality rouge to dress themselves up, and of course there are more people on the street.”

Chen Xiangxi held the cake, his expression froze.

Concubine?

"Xi'er, come back whenever you get tired. The phoenix seat next to me has always been vacant, waiting for you."

He sat with her on the top of the mountain, put his arms around her waist, buried his face in her shoulders, and rubbed her itchy.

She lowered her eyes, looking sad.

Forget it, he is over 28 this year, so choosing a concubine is a matter of course.

She finished the cake in two mouthfuls, patted the crumbs in her palm, wiped her mouth, turned and continued.

The belly is full, it's time to get down to business.

She turned around and walked into a shop. Before she could step in, the proprietress frowned and waved her out.

"Go, go, what poor girl, if you don't have money at home, don't touch it! Can you afford to pay for it if it gets dirty?!"

Chen Xiangxi gritted his teeth angrily.

"you--"

But at the moment when he wanted to get mad, he shut his mouth obediently, turned and left.

Forget it, it will be a big trouble if patrol soldiers are attracted after the noise.

She looked down at herself.

My body looks really shabby.
She originally came in wearing a fox fur jacket, but she saw a family crying not far from the city gate in the aisle.

They were crying loudly because they couldn't afford the medicine and their family members were dying of illness.

After she learned about it, she took off the clothes and gave them some money in exchange, and changed into their family's coarse clothes.

The fox fur jacket is made from the skin of an adult white fox in Beimo Baiyu. A whole piece of fox fur is worth thousands of gold, and only rich sons and daughters in the capital can afford it.

now.
That's it.

She stood on the street and looked up. Not far away, the imperial palace was towering and majestic, with red bricks and black tiles, and a black dragon sculpture on the top was still lifelike. It was the tallest and most majestic building in the whole city.

The second tallest hall is outside the palace.

It is golden and eye-catching.

Chen Xiangxi nodded.

That's it.

Wujin League.

She had just stepped into the gate, only to hear one person say:

"Hello, Hongxiu."

It's the waiter in the store, greeting her.

The dignified Wujin League is known as the number one alliance in the world.

It's just that the mistress in the store, her mannerisms, the way she treats people and things are completely different from the mistresses of other big families, and her food and clothing costs are extraordinary.

On weekdays, the monarchs of all countries have to give way to an alliance of three points, a veritable rich country.

She walked up to the counter and spoke concisely.

"I'm looking for your shopkeeper."

Xiao Er was a little embarrassed.

"Miss, my boss is a big man and doesn't accept ordinary guests."

Chen Xiangxi turned his head to look around, and took a look at the structure inside the room.

"This should be the main store, right?"

The little boy immediately said:

"Yes, yes, this is the No. [-] shop, but the boss really doesn't welcome people. This is the rule. If you insist on looking for him, it's our servants who make things difficult. Look, if it's not like this, if you don't mind , What is the sickness in your family, why don't you just tell me and let the little one solve your worries. If you are a villain and can't solve your worries, it's not too late to discuss with the boss."

The scene in front of me caught my eye, and it was obviously a familiar decoration that could no longer be familiar, but Chen Xiangxi was a little stunned.

I didn't expect that after such a long time, this decoration has not changed.
Five years ago, he asked her what gift she needed for her birthday. Without even thinking about it, she pointed to a corner in the hall and asked him to dismantle it and make it into a candied fruit cabinet, so that she could eat refreshing apricots and candied peaches whenever she came. Dried snacks.

Later, when I thought about it, this request was really too much.

How could he dismantle the wooden cabinet, which is the treasure of the store, and make a candied fruit cabinet just for her?

That is the face of Wu Jinmeng!

Didn't you just lower the league by several levels?
Unexpectedly, he actually sent someone to dismantle it, and really put her favorite candied fruit on weekdays, waiting for her visit.

And this release lasted for five years.

If my memory serves me right, what is placed in that cabinet seems to be the herbal medicine handed down by Wu Jinmeng?The medicine is hard to find on weekdays, and some small countries even directly go to war with each other in order to get a pair.

It was a joke, but it was really taken seriously.
That guy usually looks cynical, but he didn't expect him to be such a serious person.

Chen Xiangxi looked around the hall, while Xiaoer next to him lowered his head and secretly raised his eyes to look at her, for fear that she would see him looking at her, but after just one look, he immediately averted his eyes.

This woman is really unusual.

She was obviously wearing coarse cloth clothes, but she was clean and tidy, and the way she spoke to me was obviously giving orders from above, without any timidity at all, she was obviously a woman from a wealthy family.

Moreover, if it was an ordinary person, he would have been shocked by the luxurious decoration style in the hall, unable to utter a word for a long time, and his aura would naturally be half short.

But she came and went freely, and was even leisurely, presumably because she was used to the glory and wealth.

Could it be that the leader's former relatives came to ask for a few rewards?
Among the four seas and eight wildernesses, the only luxury comparable to this palace is probably the royal family.

Xiao Er turned a corner in his heart.

Or—people from the royal family, who came to Weifu for a private visit?

Thinking of this, he secretly taught in his heart that it is not good to neglect the distinguished guest, and was about to turn around and report the unexpected guest, but he heard the woman say:
"Give this painting to your master, and he will take the initiative to find me."

She took out a painting and put it on the table.

Naturally, you can't wear it casually, what if you get robbed?
She drew it.

Although she likes to dance with guns and sticks, she scoffs at such elegant things as painting and tuning the piano, but she also learned it in the palace, and she is not bad at drawing, and she can see the outline.

The little boy looked down for a moment, his expression shocked.

Chen Xiangxi deduced from his expression that he must know what it was, so he stood aside with his arms folded and waited for his answer, but he was secretly speechless in his heart.

As expected of the Wujin League, even Xiao Er can recognize such a rare thing!
Xiao Er's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at the painting for a long time.

How can it be?

Ice lotus? !

Isn't that a herbal medicine that can only be seen in books?

The nemesis of all poisons in the world, just a petal can make a person who is dying of poisoning breathe again.

But all things grow and restrain each other, and there is a guardian monster near every ice blood lotus.Most of the guardian monsters are highly poisonous snakes. Just a breath of poisonous mist can make an ordinary person's whole body rot into a puddle of blood, not even bones left.

Ordinary people would stay far away when they saw it, and even if it was a master with a brand on their body who came out of the Yin-Yang Road, they would look for it together.

It is said that over the years, the only ice blood lotus picked by humans is only one person.

That is the current monarch of Wuming Kingdom.

It is said that at that time, a woman whom he spoiled very much was poisoned and was dying. All the pills in Danqing Palace could not be cured. He went deep into the snow valley alone, and after half a month, he finally picked an ice blood lotus.

But who is the monarch of the Wuming Kingdom?

One person can resist thousands of people!
With extraordinary abilities, he is simply a wicked ghost who kills without blinking an eye!
In terms of martial arts, no one in this world is his opponent!

Xiao Er's face changed drastically, and he looked up at Chen Xiangxi, unable to speak clearly.

"Well, such rare treasures can only be encountered but not sought after. I really can't make up my mind. Please stay here for a while, please don't be impatient, and have a cup of tea to rest. The villain will immediately report to the master."

Chen Xiangxi pointed to the cabinet.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, why don't you let me taste this dried fruit?"

If the medicine prescribed is bitter, then when prescribing the medicine, wrap a few packets of candied fruit and candied fruit to prevent retching after taking the medicine. This is the rule of Wu Jinmeng.

Because of the fine workmanship, their candied fruit can be called the delicacy of the world.

Back then, she fell in love with the taste just after taking a few bites after drinking the medicine.

Xiao Er is in a hurry.

"No, no, the boss has an order. Don't touch the dried fruit and candied fruit in this cabinet! No one can touch it!"

As if that thing is forbidden.

Chen Xiangxi looked at the cabinet.

Can't touch?
Forget it, the character of the devil himself is crazy, he always thinks about it, and sometimes he gets really crazy, and even a worn-out handkerchief can be offered as a treasure.

Seeing people entering the store from time to time, Chen Xiangxi turned around and left——with such a shabby appearance, he was afraid that sitting for a long time would only attract gossip.

Looking for a tea room, Chen Xiangxi found a seat at random, ordered a pot of top-level Yuhou Longjing, and began to taste it carefully.

Anyway, he left a note when he left, so I'm not afraid that Xiaoer won't be able to find him.

There was a commotion outside the window, she looked along, and saw an empty arena not far away, and there were two teenagers competing in the arena.

It should be an annual ring competition.

Wu Ming Country has always admired strength, so it is naturally proud of its high cultivation.

The great families of the past dynasties will use all their power to cultivate their descendants, so as to ensure that the descendants can have extremely strong cultivation.A family can produce a family leader with a strong cultivation base, which naturally adds a lot of face to the family.

And how to judge the ability of the young masters of the two families?

It is not easy to compete on weekdays, but it is placed on such an occasion-a competition held by all the major families with money.

Therefore, such scenes are scenes where the major families compete for the limelight.

The juniors are naturally gearing up to try and try their best to win.

With just one glance, Chen Xiangxi became interested - this kind of competition is what she likes most!
Just as she was about to get up and run to go to the stage to play a few times, her body froze suddenly, and then she lowered her eyes—that's right, she is no longer the same as she used to be.

It's no longer possible to be as presumptuous as before.

Just as she was thinking, a thin layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and when she sat down again, there was another burst of cheers from the scene.

She couldn't help turning her head to look.

But at the first glance, the pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw that young man standing on the ring, the person who just defeated all the challengers and was about to get the bounty at the top of the ring was defeated by a young man who had just stepped on the stage, and fell to the ground.

For some reason, she only felt that the young man who had just won was slightly familiar, so she took a few more glances, and then held her breath.

The child looks really good-looking.

The skin is fair, dressed in a plain white robe, fluttering, graceful movements, just like a white crane.

At that moment, Chen Xiangxi actually saw the shadow of a person from him.

One is also dressed in plain white clothes, white and clean, looking gentle and gentle like a warm spring breeze.

The name, she blurted out.

"Lingjun—"

With just one sound, Chen Xiangxi's eyes turned red - a person she will never see again in her life
As it was related to that person, Chen Xiangxi couldn't help but take a few more glances, seeing that the young man had defeated the last few challengers on the stage, he couldn't help but look even more shocked.

His skills and moves are very similar to him!

Before the pot of tea could be finished, Chen Xiangxi immediately got up, jumped out of the window, followed the direction the boy left, and caught up with the boy in just a few strokes.

Seeing him holding a long sword, walking alone on the road with no followers, Chen Xiangxi said:

"stop!"

Hearing this, the white figure in front stopped, turned slightly sideways, and turned to look at her.

Chen Xiangxi hurried to him and asked, "Who is your father?"

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from behind her.

Clear and cold, just like the rain on Qingming.

"It's me, how?"

He turned around, only to see a slender black figure standing behind him.

It was exactly the same as the figure that Xue Yuan saw that day.

Chen Xiangxi was so frightened that his mind went blank.

I saw him wearing a pure black robe, with several circles of golden patterns on the edge of the cuffs, which glowed with a pale golden light—this fabric, even if it was made by the best shop in the capital, would require hundreds of ingenuity The female workers on the road have caught up with the work for a month.

It's really priceless!
Apart from an extremely prosperous family of wealthy merchants like Wu Jinmeng, how many people can wear such clothes?
Chen Xiangxi couldn't help taking a few steps back, and looked up at him.

His eyes are very cold, like a beast.

The courage on his body is also extremely coercive, making people a little breathless.

Even a person like her who once commanded thousands of troops couldn't help but feel a little cold.

But he's really good looking.

The skin is pale, the facial features are deep, it is amazing, and there is an extremely morbid aesthetic feeling.

Chen Xiangxi couldn't help frowning.

She was familiar with those people in the capital, so how could such a beautiful person appear out of thin air?

"who are you?"

He didn't answer, but asked instead:

"Are you looking for him, what's the matter?"

Chen Xiangxi didn't want to be an enemy of someone who was deeply in the city but couldn't see through him, but he was eager to know the answer, so he opened his mouth:
"I have something to ask."

I thought he would let her ask, but he was still standing there and asked:
"What's the matter?"

Such long-windedness made Chen Xiangxi angry.

She pinched her waist and looked him up and down, extremely annoyed.

"What's the matter? I asked him something, is it in your way? What's your business? Why are you talking so much?"

At that moment, there was a trance on his face.

This arrogant and unreasonable demeanor is very similar to the person he used to be.

She likes to be presumptuous in front of him the most, relying on his soft-hearted reluctance to talk about her, making nonsense.

For a moment, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and when he saw the sharpness in her eyes, he didn't show that kind of expression.

But how could it be her?
They don't look the same at all.

The temperament is somewhat similar, but.
His eyes darkened, and he just said:

"Speak frankly."

When the words came to his lips, they rolled a few times, and Chen Xiangxi opened his mouth cautiously.

"You, do you know Yelu Xuanyun, the previous master of Danqing Palace?"

But seeing the man still standing in front of the boy, he asked:
"how?"

Chen Xiangxi frowned, full of impatience.

"Why don't you care about your business? I asked him bluntly to make him lose a piece of meat or something?"

She deliberately changed the topic and didn't answer - of course she couldn't answer, telling him that this young man's moves are very similar to Yelu Xuanyun, if he plots something wrong, he will be in trouble.

Except for her, no one has ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.

What's more, he still knew that person.
He stared at her, his eyes couldn't help but a little more chill.

"Do you know Yelu Xuanyun?"

This sudden sense of oppression made Chen Xiangxi tremble in shock, and his momentum was not as arrogant as before.

She watched him take two steps back.

"you you--"

Speak, cold sweat has spread all over the body.

The rest of the words were choked in his throat in shock, Chen Xiangxi stared at him blankly, his mind went blank for a while.

he.
why is it so frustrating
Fear, like a worm, spread out from the bone marrow.

Chen Xiangxi stood there dumbfounded.

very cold
In this world, almost no one would make her feel this way.
Suddenly, a sentence broke the moment of silence, and in an instant, Chen Xiangxi only felt that he was breathing again.

"Hongxiu, you are indeed here!"

It was the mistress just now, sweating profusely, presumably because she couldn't find her in the teahouse, so she rushed over.

He ran up to her, looked at him, then at her, and asked:

"Do you have something to do now? The leader wants to see you now!"

Chen Xiangxi looked at him, then at the shop waiter.

He must have thought she was here to see an old friend.
This is a good opportunity, how can I leave?

Chen Xiangxi turned his head and said "Farewell", then turned and ran after Xiao Er, as if there was a wolf behind him.

The man didn't answer, but still stood there, watching her leaving back.

A pair of blood eyes were dim and dark, without any emotion.

The kid standing behind him also looked at the path where she left, and didn't answer.

Finally, the sound of footsteps came from the end of the alley, followed by the sound of "Plop—" kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Hurry up!"

He turned around and looked at the man kneeling on the ground. The anger that had just been aroused in his body had not subsided in the future, and his voice was obviously sullen.

"What needs to be reported directly?"

The man was so frightened that he trembled all over, and said tremblingly:
"It's the Xiao family. It is said that they saw a person very similar to the wanted criminal enter the capital."

Feng Shizun nodded, and immediately understood the deep meaning of these words.

Most wanted criminal, only one.

It is her.

He turned around and looked at the end of the path where she disappeared.

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

good very good
Just as he was thinking, killing intent surged in his heart.
