Chapter 207: A gentleman’s promise never regrets
After listening to their conversation, Holy Envoy Hulu smiled and nodded.

"Xie Xiaoyou is right. Whether His Majesty knows the identity of the person behind the scenes who gave advice to the late Emperor in the past depends on whether the relationship between the two Supreme Beings is close."

Xie Zhao laughed: "It seems that the Holy Envoy is willing to help me clear up my doubts."

Holy Envoy Hulu also laughed, his voice was particularly old and lacked energy.

The former Saint King Heavenly Realm master is now in his twilight years and is nothing more than an old man.

He said slowly: "Actually, the late Emperor and His Majesty had a deep brotherhood when they were young, and their relationship was extremely good. However, something happened a few years ago."

The three of them looked at him steadily.

When Han Changsheng saw Holy Envoy Hulu paused, he couldn't help but urge him impatiently:

"Senior, please stop showing off."

Holy Envoy Hulu laughed. He laughed off the young man's impatience and did not find it offensive.

He said: "This matter started nearly 20 years ago. The then Prince Huang Tinghong, who is now His Majesty the Emperor Hanyong, suddenly had a dispute with the late Emperor one day for some unknown reason.

He insisted on leaving the imperial court, leaving Guangling City, and handing over all the soldiers and horses in his royal tent. He just wanted to live the life of a commoner like a wanderer. "

Xie Zhao sighed after hearing this.

She said: "If you think about it, the late Emperor of Hanyong must have disagreed."

Although the late emperor of Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty was afraid that his younger brother would be the first heir to his throne, if his direct brother left the imperial court, the inheritance of his father's family bloodline in the imperial court would be very difficult. Completely cut off.

If this is true, when the late Emperor Tuoba Xiao dies one day, he will have no legitimate son, and his father will have no legitimate son, so his throne will only be inherited by his uncle's lineage.

The nobles of Han and Yong in the Northern Dynasties paid great attention to inheritance.

Therefore, Tuoba Xiao, the late emperor of the Northern Dynasties, was wary of his younger brother's ambitions for his throne, but also worried that his younger brother was too unambitious.

He must not allow Tuoba Hong to really leave the imperial court and the Tuoba clan and become a commoner.

Holy Envoy Hulu nodded.

"Yes, the late emperor was naturally very angry when he heard what Prince Hong wanted.

In order to prevent his only legitimate brother from being stupid, the late emperor imprisoned his younger brother, Prince Hong. "

The three young people were all stunned and lost their voices.

Ling You frowned and shook his head slightly without commenting.

Han Changsheng, a newborn calf, was not afraid of tigers. He clicked his tongue lawlessly and said:
"The late Northern Emperor was really a ruthless man! - Back then, the current emperor of the Northern Dynasty only wanted to be free, and he did not seek rebellion.

For such a small thing, did the late emperor imprison his younger brother?This is too heartless and unjust! "

Xie Zhao was silent for a moment.

The two words "imprisonment" inexplicably touched the pain point in her heart.

Once upon a time, there was a relative whom she regarded as her life, who wanted to imprison her in the Jiuchong Palace.

She paused for a while, then eased the sudden pain in her heart, and said softly:
"You are wrong. An emperor never needs to be affectionate and righteous. As long as the monarch of a country can benefit the country and the people, and be fair and selfless, that is enough."

Han Changsheng was a little unconvinced, and he couldn't wait to ask the Holy Envoy Hulu.

"Anyway, I still think that the late emperor of the Northern Dynasty was quite cruel. Holy envoy, how long have you been imprisoned by the late emperor now?"

The Holy Envoy Hulu sighed and said: "Since then, the two brothers seemed to have been at odds. One was sitting in the palace, and the other was imprisoned in the palace. They had not seen each other for more than two years.

If it hadn't been for the upcoming "Shulan Festival", the most grand event in Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty, when the late emperor toured 36 tribes in accordance with ancient rituals, it would have been impossible for Prince Hong at that time to be released to supervise the country.You will already know what happened next——

The late emperor passed away during the "Shulan Festival" while touring the Dal'e tribe. Prince Hong, who was supervising the country in Guangling City, Kyoto, naturally ascended the throne and became emperor.Then another 15 years passed and we are now. "

Xie Zhao slowly raised his eyes and looked directly into the old eyes of Holy Envoy Hulu.

"Holy envoy, you can help us to such an extent. To be honest, I am a little surprised. You even told me frankly many old things about Hanyong that I have not asked about yet. Is it just because of the past between you and my master? Because of the years?”

Holy Envoy Hulu looked at her with a smile. "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Xie Xiaoyou."

He sighed slightly and said: "The reason why I know everything and talk about it in detail is because these things are really not a secret.

Even if I don't say it, I can't help you.Xie Xiaoyou, if you are determined to investigate, then it will not be difficult with your intelligence to do some inquiring and mediation in Guangling City.

Secondly, the old man is about to die, but he still has unfinished business, and he really wants something from me, so I want to betray your favor.I just don’t know this kind of sentiment, my friend, can you admit it? "

Xie Zhao looked at him quietly, bowed slightly and bowed humbly.

"The holy envoy has never been involved in right and wrong in his life, and is only willing to help the poor people who are struggling in the world of mortals. He deserves Xie's respect.

Even if you didn't tell me this, if there is anything you need to do before you die, please let me do it.The juniors will not refuse even if they are within their means. "

"it is good."

Holy Envoy Hulu looked at her with a smile.

"Then I'll go ahead and thank you little friend."

Xie Zhao: "It doesn't matter if you say so."

Mo Boye: "I have a junior, and Xiaoyou Xie just saw him. I want to entrust him to my junior for a while."

Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You mean that girl Bo Xi."

The reason why she guessed it was Bo Xi instead of Luo Zhuo was naturally because Xie Zhao knew very well that even if the Holy Envoy of Magaya was willing to entrust her, the next envoy of the Hulu Holy Altar in the Holy Land of the Ministry of Education and Culture would never be able to follow her status. people leave.

In this case, the junior mentioned by Holy Envoy Magaya is naturally the girl with the terrifying scar on her face.

Sure enough, Holy Envoy Hulu nodded and said: "That's right."

He smiled bitterly and said: "That child, like me, practices the 'path of sentient beings'.

I believe that little friend Xie must have known that I was going to die soon, probably within the next two days.I hope your Excellency can take her away today. "

Xie Zhao looked at him silently for a moment and said softly:
"I understand. The Holy Envoy doesn't want her to serve here and witness your 'leaving' with her own eyes. But in this way, she will inevitably have regrets in her heart in the future."

Holy Envoy Hulu showed compassion on his face and sighed softly:

"It's okay to have regrets. She has to move on. This child has a hard life. She knows too much about the sufferings of the world, but rarely knows about ease and happiness. Her 'sentient way' is really hard to cultivate."

Having said this, he looked at Xie Zhao with burning eyes.

"Before today, I was still suffering from the future of this child, and I didn't know how to make the best arrangements.

It wasn't until Luo Zhuo actually brought you here that I realized that the best instruction given to me by Changshengtian is here, and it should be Xie Xiaoyou. "

Xie Zhao frowned.

"I?"

Holy Envoy Hulu said with a smile: "Yes, you are open-minded and upright. If Bo Xi can stay with you for a while, it will be her blessing.

She won't bother Xie Xiaoyou for too long, as long as three years is enough - after three years, Bo Xi must have figured out the path under his feet and where he should go. "

The hope and request in the eyes of the old man in front of him almost seemed to steal the light.

Xie Zhao couldn't bear to refuse, couldn't refuse, and couldn't refuse.

Finally, she crossed her hands on her chest and bowed in an authentic Northland etiquette.

"Holy envoy, I agree. A gentleman will never regret it once he makes a promise."

"Okay! This life is about to end. I would like to thank my little friend for your kindness. Magaya can only repay it in the next life."

The holy envoy of Magaya was very relieved. The problem that had troubled him for many days before his death finally cleared away the dark clouds and saw the moonlight, which shocked his whole body.
