AWB Chapter 101 Stop?
Chapter 101 Stop?
Whether the prince is married or not is a good question.
He and Bai Zhou really don't know who to marry whom...
On the face of it, Bai Tian is the emperor, if he insists on saying it, of course he has to take care of the face of the Holy Majesty.
But actually...
The Minister of Rites did not dare to say much, and said with a smile: "When I see the prince, the king will ask him personally."
The banquet for welcoming guests from afar had already been prepared in the Lexi hall. Tu Ajia and several close officials were seated, and King Yuanning came out from the back hall.
After exchanging greetings, we had three rounds of drinking.
Tu Ajia bluntly got angry, she picked up the wine glass, walked up to the prince, and said: "My lord, it's been nearly a year since we last saw each other, are you married yet?"
The prince smiled and did not answer directly.
Tu Ajia seemed to guess that he would not answer, and was not disappointed. He touched the wine glass to the prince's cup and continued, "Although your majesty did not come, but in the letter..."
The prince's brain hurts, Tucao Tu Ajia can no longer be described as blunt, it is simply lacking.
On second thought, she couldn't blame her entirely.The people she brought to the Yao Kingdom were all people she trusted very much. It is a good quality to employ people without doubt, but it is a pity that this time she has no discernment.
At first, even Bai Tian thought that the disaster would be over when she got to know the old minister of the foreign race, but after a thorough investigation, she discovered that Bai Yuan, the culprit, was lurking beside Tu Ajia.
Thinking of this, King Yuanning raised his wine glass to interrupt her and said, "Although your Majesty could not come to welcome the king in person, he also told this king to entertain the old friend well." He turned to the people at the table and cupped his hands one by one , said, "These few people, I met the king when I went to Funan last time, but this old gentleman has a refined charm but a serious face. Does the king recommend one or two?"
As he spoke, he didn't respect Tu Ajia, but turned to the old man, bowed slightly, and drank the wine in his glass.
Look at the old man again, with a mask on his face, almost covering his entire face.His mask is very special, it is woven with Funan's unique soft rattan, it is exquisitely crafted, and it fits his face perfectly.
After all, the soft rattan has holes and slits, and he can vaguely see a large scar on his face. Although it is old, it can be seen that he was seriously injured.It's like earthworms one by one, climbing on the skin.
It looks hideous at first glance, but even more hideous upon closer inspection.
Is he Bai Yuan?
The old man stood up and returned the salute, saying: "This old man is a famous poet in Funan, he was praised by the prince, and he is ashamed."
Tu Ajia couldn't see the deep meaning of the prince, and probably knew that King Yuanning didn't want to mention government affairs now, and introduced the legendary poets who were highly respected and respected.
Then, the conversation went further and further away.
The singing and dancing of Yao State was intoxicating, and the wine was even more intoxicating. When the banquet was over, not only Tu Ajia drank more, even the officials of the Ministry of Rites of Yao State and Honglu Temple relaxed a lot because of the simple folk customs of Funan, and they were already slightly depressed. drunk.
The officials of the Ministry of Rituals braced themselves to settle the guests, and after reporting to the prince, they returned home.
It was late at night, and King Yuanning was standing in front of Bai Yuan's residence. This was the first time he met Bai Yuan alone.
To be alone with the man who has always been in the legend, in him and in daytime guesses.
Inevitably nervous.
The prince took a deep breath.
Before knocking on the door, Bai Yuan opened it.
When he saw the prince standing in front of the door, he was taken aback for a moment, and then beckoned him very familiarly to let him enter the room.
The prince's mind was spinning, desperately trying to figure out how to react when he suddenly saw his adoptive father after not seeing him for many years.
He froze on the spot dumbfoundedly, but Bai Yuan stretched out his hand and patted King Yuanning on the shoulder first, saying: "You haven't changed much since we parted in those years."
It's really like father to son.
King Yuanning saluted and said in a low voice, "Father."
Bai Yuan motioned him to sit down, poured two cups of tea, and said, "It's hard for you, I've been here all these years alone, as a father, I didn't want to get involved in the chaos of Yao, but when I thought of Bai Luo's son being so Incompetent, in this world, it is better for you to do it..."
Secretly instigate so many things, and then pick yourself clean.
The prince smiled bitterly, but said nothing.
Bai Yuan said: "Father, I heard from Peng Qi that you are serious about that boy Bai Jing?"
King Yuanning didn't say whether or not, and said: "Father trusts Peng Qi? But he almost killed his son."
This sentence is not out of thin air, the matter of the princess looking for someone to assassinate was found out, although the person who wrote the secret letter to the princess was Xia Sixing, but the person behind her was still Peng Qi.
I think she was an official prostitute in the past, and during the day, I went to investigate along this line, and found out that who on the surface redeemed her from the sea of suffering, and redeemed her body for the official prostitute. Peng Qi's power.
Using the state of Gaoming to others is not to instigate, but to unite with her and have the same purpose. The hatred for the royal family of Yao Kingdom has evolved into a contract for cooperation between these few people.
Bai Yuan's eyes were shining brightly from the candles behind the mask. He smiled. The originally kind smile looked particularly terrifying against the scars on his face. He said: "After tonight, there will be no need It's his time."
Although he didn't know the cause and effect, the prince's scalp exploded in an instant, and his bad premonition instantly turned into a bad guess. He pretended to be calm and said, "Father wants to attack tonight?"
Bai Yuan said: "If it works, you and I will reap the benefits. If it doesn't work, let him recite the things he stirred up to smear you. When you ascend the throne, you must be clean."
As he said that, he took out a box from his luggage, unfolded it, and found that it was an imperial decree that was only missing a seal, Bai Yuan said: "That boy Bai Jing once issued a will, why did you burn it? "
King Yuanning finally couldn't sit still, and said: "Bai Jing's thoughts are deep, the matter is not that simple, the son will come to explain to his father some other day!" After finishing speaking, he got up and hurried back to the palace.
Bai Yuan looked at the back of King Yuanning's departure, and his expression darkened again. After all, he was not his own son...
He was plotted to death by Bai Jing when he was a child, but now it seems that he is still...
Not good.
As for Peng Qi's false flattery, he deserved to die early in the morning.
----------
The prince hurried back to the palace, went to the Chaolu Hall first, but was not there during the day.
He hurriedly asked the little eunuch who was in charge of the palace, and the little eunuch said that the emperor couldn't find the purple bamboo flute given by the prince just now, so he went to look for it himself.
King Yuanning thought about it. If Peng Qi wanted to attack Bairi, the most convenient place would be Ningde Hall. Ningde Hall is next to the exit of the tunnel extending in all directions. Come in, and it's not foolproof.
Having figured this out, the prince hurried to Ningde Hall. Halfway, he heard the summons palace bell being rang loudly. Then, someone in the palace shouted loudly: "It's flooded! Ningde Palace is flooded! Your Majesty is inside, hurry up!" Help!"
Looking at the sky above Ningde Hall, it has gradually turned red.
The fire, ignited.
There was already chaos in front of the gate of Ningde Hall, seeing that the fire was not too big to rush in, but the palace people just gathered more and more in front of the gate.
"Where is Your Majesty? Why don't you go in and save people!" The prince angrily pulled a young eunuch.
The little eunuch replied with a trembling voice: "People went in twice, but they didn't come out...Only one servant came out in a hurry to report, saying...many people died...the inside...it was full of snakes..."
"It's him!" Qian Lu suddenly spoke, and he looked at King Yuanning, "Master, it's him! This is exactly the same as the circus troupe's tragic murder."
Qian Lu has been looking for the murderer who destroyed his sect. After several years, he only knew that the clues pointed to the Zhanhuan God Envoys, but there was no more results, and he finally entered the palace and became a servant.
At this moment, Wang Ye saw that he had identified the murderer, and he had no time to worry about it, so he said: "Let's go."
Just as he was waiting to go in, he saw Chen Xingning also coming.
Arriving just in time, King Yuanning briefly gave him some instructions, put on a fire raccoon cloth, and rushed into the fire with Qian Lu.
The fire in Ningde Hall was not as big as expected, but something was burning, thick smoke was billowing, the flames and smoke were intertwined, choking and confusing.
A gust of wind blows sparks flying all over the sky, and the fragmented splendor in the middle of the night enters the sky and then goes out.
"Ah Jing—" The prince was anxious, not knowing where the daylight was.
Ningde Hall is the largest hall in the Dayao Palace. It is named "Dian" because it is located in the palace. If it is placed in a small country alone, it is more than enough to be called "Palace".
Don't panic.
King Yuanning told himself not to panic.
Because the day is still waiting for his rescue.
He couldn't help thinking, if he was Peng Qi, he would lure the enemy deep and trap the daylight with this trick, then he would definitely lead him to the center of Ningde Hall - surrounded by fire, surrounded by snakes, and narrowly escaped death.
This time, Peng Qi took double insurance in order to save his life during the day.
Although it is just a guess, but now the arrow is on the string, there is no better way.
Seeing layers of corridors, continuous houses, gathered in the fire, the prince was about to rush into the depths of the fire, when he was grabbed by Qian Lu, he took out the strangely shaped pottery musical instrument from his arms, and said: "My lord Don't panic, I'll call a friend to lead the way."
Then, there was a strange sound.
King Yuanning remembered that this musical instrument could play the bird song of Peng Qi riding a snake, which should be the family skill of Zhanhuan God envoys to control beasts.The sound Qian Lu played this time was like the cry of some small animal.
After a moment of silence, I heard a rustling sound in the grass around the yard, and gradually surrounded the chubby little beast.
When those little guys approached, the prince saw that there were a dozen or so hedgehogs, the small ones were only as big as fists, and the big ones were as long as a woman's forearm.
This is to be refined.
Qian Lu blew another sound, and the hedgehogs explored the ground for a while, and then ran towards the same direction.
"Follow them."
These chubby little guys usually walk slowly, but now they seem to understand that time is running out, and their four paws are falling so fast that Wang Ye and Qian Lu almost have to trot to keep up.
The direction they are heading is indeed the direction of the center of the temple.
Along the way, the prince saw a lot of snakes, as well as scattered palace people who had been bitten to death.
But I don't know if it was because of Qian Lu's music, when the snakes saw the prince and his party coming, they retreated one after another and made way for a passage.
The fire is getting fiercer. Hedgehogs are beasts after all, and it is their nature to be afraid of fire.
Gradually, some small-headed ones retreated, and Qianlu's music became high-pitched and hurried, as if to encourage them, but it was still in vain.
In the end, only the biggest one led the way, and the smaller ones gradually became behind Wang Ye and Qian Lu.
The prince and Qian Lu walked through a corridor elevated in mid-air, and finally arrived at the center of Ningde Hall.
He looked around with extreme vigilance, and then shouted into the main hall: "Ah Jing! Are you in there?"
After a while, someone raised his voice to answer, his voice was trembling, as if he wanted to shout but didn't dare to shout: "My lord...here...beware of snakes! But...you come quickly! Your Majesty choked on the smoke..."
It was Bugo.
Hearing this, King Yuanning didn't care much, he just wanted to protect Bai Tian by his side immediately, and then take him out of here as soon as possible.
The prince jumped down from the corridor, and against the firelight, he looked majestic and elegant.
Looking through the entrance of the hall, one can see Bai Tian standing in the middle of the hall in the midst of thick smoke.
The prince couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, he could only see him covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, coughing unceasingly, and holding the purple bamboo flute in the other hand.
Snakes surrounded him and Bugo.
There are ordinary green snakes, and there are long ring snakes unique to Zhanhuan.
At this moment, a person flew down from the top of the hall, standing between the prince and the daylight, showing a trace of surprise, and said, "Why are you here?"
After a moment of silence and stalemate, Bai Zhou suddenly smiled and said: "So you were sold by the master, it seems that he thinks...you are not useful."
The person who came was Peng Qi, of course he understood what Bai Tian was talking about, only Bai Yuan knew about his actions, he said that he would delay the prince and let him return to the palace later.
But Yuan Ning Wang suddenly arrived at this moment...
I'm afraid that Bai Yuan wants to reap the benefits, no matter what the outcome of the fight between them is, it will be good for Bai Yuan.
"Stop it?" Bai Zhou smiled.
Peng Qi looked at Bai Tian coldly: "We need to seek an explanation for the revenge of extermination of the clan!"
After that, he also took out a pottery musical instrument from his bosom, put it on his lips and played a series of birdsong.
As the sound of his playing gradually slowed down, the long ringed snakes around the daytime all arched their bodies and spit out snake letters, and those ordinary snakes also became tense.
But the more this time, the more I can't stop coughing during the day.
