its 348: Sukongcheng said: Calm
When Cheng Xingxing rushed to the woods 20 miles outside the city, Mulan and others had been waiting anxiously for a long time. Seeing him coming back with Su Wan'er and Xiaodie, everyone cheered. Mulan and Xun Xianxue and these two were old acquaintances. They immediately ran over and took hands and said hello.
In addition to the four girls and Chen Xiaoxia, there is also a man in his forties who is waiting here. He first went to solemnly salute Su Waner, and then arched to Cheng Xingxing: "Master Cheng, my master has arranged five giant bats and beasts and also sent knights. Each giant bat is not a knight who can carry two people. Shouldn't it be enough?
Cheng Xingxing arched his hand at him and looked at several trees in the forest. There were five huge bat-like flying beasts holding the trunk and resting on the tree, and on the tree stood five knights in leather armor.
These giant beasts have black bat wings on their backs, but they have four claws on their bodies that are not sharp, but they have long thick legs. They have round eyes one by one, and they are also looking at stars. Cheng Xingxing thought that these big guys were very cute, a little like koalas. Looking at it, he couldn't help laughing: "Are these strange beasts?"
"Yes, the giant bat beast is one of the alien beasts." The man nodded, "In addition to flying fast, he also knows how to avoid danger. And they are very good at night flight..."
"There is no need to explain this in detail." As an earthman who often watches the animal world, he has a clear view of his ability to bats.
"Xiao Lan, sit with me." Cheng Xingxing began to distribute mounts: "Brother Chen took Princess Huier to sit on one. Xiaodie, is it okay for you to take care of Wan'er? Well, then you take one, Xiaoxue and Xiaoyue.
"Wan'er, let's sit with you." Mulan smiled and said, "You must have something to say. You are lonely on the way. Let's chat together."
"Good, good, good." Before Cheng Mingxing and Su Waner said, Xiaodie clapped her hands and said, "Then I'll sit with Miss Xiaolan."
"Take care of them on the way." The middle-aged man called five knights, carefully assigned the task, and solemnly told them again: "At the critical moment, you can die, and they can't lose."
"I understand." The knight bowed his head and acted neatly. At first glance, he was a person who had experienced strict military training.
"Master, take a step to talk." The middle-aged man turned around and pointed to the depths of the forest. Cheng Xingxing nod and walked over.
"To make a long story short, there must be a pursuers later." After leaving the crowd, Cheng Xingxing whispered to the man.
"The Lord wants me to tell you that everything can be assured." After looking around, the man whispered to Cheng Mingxing, "Lord, please don't leave the imperial capital. He still has a lot of things to ask for your help. This is not only for him, but also for Tianyin Kingdom. Indirectly, it is also for the princess. You can let your friends go back to the magic door first, and you don't have to worry about anything when you go back, and continue to live a normal life. The two princesses will be taken care of by them first. In the future, the court will definitely thank the wonderful door.
The star became a little dizzy: What does this mean? Do you still thank us? But don't let me go. What does this mean? Does Sukong City want to take a risk? No, he is not an adventurous person... So, has he controlled the power of the country?
"In a word, you don't have to worry that your people will be chased by officers and soldiers. Just rest assured." That man is really a long story short. After saying this, he stopped talking.
"There is only one possibility." The voice of Cangqu sounded, and Cheng Xingxing heard that he was a little excited.
"Sukong City is really a powerful guy!" Cangqu sighed, "He has already prepared everything, but is just waiting for an opportunity. Now, you have created this opportunity for him, and he can finally seize power!"
"You mean... Su Kongcheng will control the regime of Tianyin Kingdom?" The star was shocked. He thought that Su Kongcheng would definitely do it, but in his opinion, it may be to eliminate Huo Zhongyang or minimize the power of Huo Zhongyang Group.
Of course, he also knew that the purpose of Su Kongcheng was the whole Tianyin Kingdom, but he really couldn't figure out what opportunity he could create to master the power of Tianyin Kingdom by making such a disturbance.
"He must have used some method..." Cang Qu muttered to himself and gradually lost his voice.
There was no time to think about this, and Cheng Xingxing hurried back. He pulled Mulan aside and whispered, "I'm not going back."
"What?" Mulan was shocked, "What...what are you doing if you don't go back?"
"The King of Clouds wants me to stay." Cheng Mingxing roughly paraphrased the middle-aged man's words, "There is no need for Su Kongcheng to lie to me. I think he must have mastered the power of the country, and I guess he will stay with Huo Zhongyang or Huang Junjie."
"None is easy to deal with." Mulan frowned.
"I can't help it." Cheng Xingxing smiled and said, "It's better than being wanted by the whole door." Go back quickly. As for me, you should be at ease. Think about it, the magma under the ground didn't burn me to death!"
"Yes, then you will bring a beautiful girl back and hug each other tightly. How beautiful is that?" Mulan sneered.
"Ok, don't always talk about Xu Siyuan. I've explained it ten thousand times." Cheng Xingxing sighed and complained.
"It's just teasing you." Mulan smiled. Be more careful in the imperial capital. We will wait for you at the door.
Cheng Xingxing nodded: "Help me take good care of the princess. In the future, they will still go back to the palace to enjoy happiness. It is impossible to be a fugitive outside for a lifetime.
"Don't worry." Mulan nodded.
After, the star hid aside. Mulan understood that he didn't want to say goodbye to everyone so sadly, so he immediately went back and explained to everyone that after becoming a star was going to break, everyone would go first.
Under her deception, a group of people landed on the giant bat and flew into the blue sky under the protection of the giant bat knight.
Cheng Xingxing stood in the forest, looking up at the sky, and the people in the sky were also looking down for him. Everyone has their own loss and uneasiness, so they are temporarily separated.
"Let's go." The middle-aged man saluted the star and said respectfully. Cheng Xingxing nodded, and the middle-aged man took two horses from the nearby Xiaolin and took a bag from the horse's back. After opening it, there was a set of robes and a wide hat to help Chengxing wear it. Then he put on his hat and galloped back to the imperial capital.
When he was about to arrive, the middle-aged man took the star around a long way and entered the imperial capital from the west gate. When passing through the city gate, Cheng Xingxing was full of doubts - it is reasonable to say such a thing, and the four gates should be closed tightly. Why did the west gate open and pedestrians come and go without any trouble?
He couldn't help doubting whether he had returned to the imperial capital.
The soldier guarding the gate was armed and glanced at the crowd coming and going, but when they saw the middle-aged man, they immediately looked away. Cheng Xingxing immediately understood that the defenders of the West Gate were simply from Sukong City.
But even so, isn't it too bold to do so? Cheng Xingxing couldn't help thinking that maybe it was really as Cangqu thought that Su Kongcheng had really mastered everything in Tianyin Kingdom.
At least, he has mastered the imperial capital.
How did he do it? It's very puzzled to become a star. A coup? That's not what happened in the TV series. Whoever is happy to kill the emperor with a group of troops can succeed. Even if the emperor dies, you are not the legal heir, and the minister and the world will not obey you. At that time, someone will naturally bring troops to fight you. You want to sit on the throne for a long time - bullshit.
With a lot of doubts, Cheng Xingxing rode all the way with the middle-aged man and leisurely came to the vicinity of the royal city. At the west gate of Wangcheng, the middle-aged man got off his horse, stepped forward slowly, and showed a sign to the gatekeeper. The soldiers immediately opened the door and let the middle-aged man and the star into the city.
This is amazing! Cheng Xing was shocked. Enter or exit the royal city at will? What kind of identity and what kind of status should this be?
Following the middle-aged man, he walked in step by step. Cheng Ming found that the other party took him to a broad main road, and the destination seemed to be the most majestic building in the whole royal city.
Is this to take me to see the emperor?
All the way straight, I really came to the emperor's residence, so I couldn't enter casually. The middle-aged man first greeted the eunuch and then waited outside. Before long, the eunuch said that the two entered the palace and went all the way to the inner hall, waiting in a large study.
After about half an hour, there was a sound of footsteps outside. The door of the study was carefully opened by the two eunuchs, and an old man in his fifties slowly walked in.
The old man's face is pale, his eyes are dark, and his body is a little weak. At first glance, he is the type of wine color that exhausts energy. Cheng Xingxing felt that his face gave him a sense of déjà vu. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that the old man's appearance had a lot of similarities with Su Wan'er and Su Hui'er.
Is it the emperor? Cheng Xing was completely stunned.
"You guys step back." The old man waved his hand, and the eunuchs behind him immediately retreated respectfully. Only an old eunuch in his sixties stayed with a smile on his face. He watched the eunuchs retreat, then went out of the door, waved the eunuchs outside the corridor, and looked at them. It was not until he confirmed that they had left the palace that he returned to the room and closed the door.
During this period, the old man has been looking at the star smiling and laughing so much that his heart is a little furiant.
When the door was closed, the people in the room laughed except for becoming stars.
What's going on? Cheng Xingxing watched the three people in the room warily and couldn't help thinking: Is this a trap? This is a trap, right? You led my brother to the deep palace to close the door and beat the dog, right? I know that my brother is good at martial arts and still plays this. He is going to poison my brother's yin medicine, right?
"To become a star, do you know who I am?" The old man spoke slowly, and his voice was weak, with a slight vicissitudes of life.
"The old man is the emperor of Tianyin Kingdom, isn't he?" Cheng Xingxing replied as he peeked at the middle-aged man who led him.
"You are wrong." The old man shook his head.
He became a star and was dumbfounded.
