Chapter 49: The Emperor's Secret Order
In the Jinluan Hall, the air seems to solidify into a stone. In the bursts of coldness penetrated outside, it slowly melts into a more thorough cold, like ice, and invades the heart.
Guan Xingyi and Jiang Shengtian's hearts suddenly froze. Their faces were full of blood and panic. Guan Xingyi roared at Zeng with a blue face, "What are you talking about? When I asked you at that time..."
"At that time, you held a big pass knife around my neck. Can I not say that?" Zeng refutation, Guan Xingyi was stunned for a moment and stammered, "I won't do this... How can you..."
"Bear, how can he promise to lie for you if you don't do this?" At this time, Wen Zicheng's face had turned into a proud face, and even Lin Chengjun, walking ice and the ghost house behind him could not hide their joy. Guan Xingyi blushed for a moment, looked at the emperor on the dragon chair, looked at Li Linfu and Chen Rufeng, who was swollen on his face, and finally fell on Wen Zicheng, who was smiling secretly on the other side. Wen Zicheng looked at him with high spirits, implying ridicule.
"I understand! It turns out that... this beginning... is a game!" Guan Xingyi exclaimed, but Li Longji on the dragon chair frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "Mr. Guan, the witness you brought doesn't seem to be beneficial to you."
Chen Rufeng just stared coldly in front of him, with empty pupils, only red light ripples.
Jinlong Gaozhu, who seemed to have bursts of low roars, spread directly to all parts of his body in the endless abyss hole in his heart, making a strange gas begin to move in his bloodline.
In the end, it will always be invincible.
The humble self, in a corner, looked up and sighed endlessly.
Li Linfu's mind suddenly changed his mind. After several measurements, he finally took a step forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, since this has come to this, I have nothing to say. The evidence is like a mountain, so they will hand it over to the emperor." After saying that, Li Linfu stood aside and looked at Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian indifferently. He stood faintly on the side of the ghost house, and there was no guilt in his expression.
Jiang Shengtian's face was like dead ashes, and the last light in his heart withered like a dead tree. He didn't want to! I don't want to do it! His efforts along the way and painstaking efforts along the way, he disappeared in an instant under Zeng Da's sharp turn of the gun. He is unwilling!
Looking up, Li Longji's face was uncertain, as if he was thinking and weighing, but he secretly felt that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was looking at them with contempt.
Even Li Linfu abandoned them, and the defeat has been decided, and there is no more unbelievable.
Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian are like standing in different corners of their hearts. On the one hand, they are as cold as an ice cellar, and on the other hand, they are as helpless as the dark abyss. One person is cold and tears.
The murderous spirit suddenly increased, covering Wen Zicheng's side. Zeng seemed to feel inappropriate. He quickly hid behind Wen Zicheng and other three people from Tianyu's gang, looking at Chen Rufeng, who was gradually red in his eyes.
Is the last turning point that you have to kill a bloody road in this Jinluan Hall?
Chen Rufeng thought crazily in his heart, and did not want the external official wall to rise high, the guards were strict, and there must be many masters in the palace. In addition, the ghost mansion Tianyu Gang, who was wary of the coveted him, was afraid that with his strength, he had not walked out of the Jinluan Hall and had already splashed blood on the spot, not to mention Jiang Shengtian and Guan Xingyi. People are safe.
So, the last way is to admit his fate and confess his guilt while he can still control his reason.
Chen Rufeng's eyes were full of red light, and his murderous intention disappeared. Wen Zicheng, Meng Qianxiao and others on the opposite side suddenly relaxed and smiled victoriously. Wen Zicheng also patted Zeng Da on the shoulder, as if to say in his heart, "Well done!"
Chen Rufeng walked to the supreme emperor and lowered his head.
Jiang Shengtian's face was already like a dead man. If it hadn't been for Guan Xingyi's shoulder, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground and no longer be unconscious. Maybe when he woke up, he was already on the execution ground and was about to beheaded.
Seeing Chen Rufeng's defeat, Wen Zicheng's smile was even more, and even a little treacherous and ferocious could not be concealed.
The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit.
He looked up, although he had lowered his head in the face of fate.
Li Longji's face showed a trace of smile, only Chen Rufeng could see, so profound and connotative.
Chen Rufeng opened his mouth to speak, but was preempted by Li Longji.
When the people in the hall saw Li Longji's words, they quickly became solemn and the air was tight.
"Throughout the case, it is tortuous and strange, and misty," Li Longji said slowly, but there was a trace of sudden relaxation on his eyebrows. "Everyone's statements are reasonable, and immediately, they can't determine which is right or wrong."
When Meng Qianxiao, Wen Zicheng and others heard this, they suddenly showed suspicion and were more dissatisfied with hiding in it. At this time, the human testimony brought by Guan Xingyi was obviously that Chen Rufeng's side hit their mouth, but the situation was completely reversed to their side. With Li Longji's words, it can be regarded as pulling the two sides back to a balanced situation. Next, but after all, it is the words of the ninety-five, and they dare not resist, so they can only nod and respond, "What the emperor said!"
On Chen Rufeng's side, Jiang Shengtian raised his head in consterrenly, full of disbelief. Chen Rufeng couldn't help looking at Li Longji in surprise and only felt that he was joking in his heart. Even Li Linfu narrowed his eyes and thought about it quickly. He couldn't think of any reason for the emperor to do so. Obviously, all the confessions are unfavorable to Chen Rufeng and others. The emperor's words are obviously ** naked favoritism.
Guan Xingyi smiled unabashedly, with a row of snowy teeth reflecting white light, and such an awkward smile was incompatible with his strong body like a cow.
"Since this case is difficult to be sentenced, it is better to calculate that both sides are guilty. This is a fair move. What do you think?" Li Longji was also full of smiles and did not look like a fair and strict judge at all. These words shocked everyone in the hall and changed their faces. Li Longji seemed to be very satisfied with this effect and continued, "However, I will naturally give you a chance to atone for your sins."
Until this moment, the people in the hall finally understood the intention of the ninety-five.
He had another idea in his mind to say such reluctant words, but what if he was forced to reason? He is the son of the Tang Dynasty. Who dares to be dissatisfied?
Everyone had to follow their wishes: "I will obey the emperor's will."
Li Longji nodded with a smile, like a hunter watching his prey fall into his trap. He said to the ghost house, "How do you atone for your sins? I will decide later. You can retreat first."
Both the ghost mansion and the Tianyu gang were surprised at each other, but they did not dare to disobey, so they had to salute and retreat. Zeng looked at Chen Rufeng's side and was shot by Guan Xingyi's vicious eyes. He was so scared that he lifted his buttocks and followed Wen Zicheng in the wilderness and never dared to look back.
" Prime Minister, you should also retreat." Li Longji said lightly. Li Linfu was stunned when he heard the words, but looking at Li Longji's determined face, he had to follow it.
In the Jinluan Hall, only Guan Xingyi, Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian are left.
The three of them were worried and didn't know what the emperor was doing. They all lowered their heads nervously and dared not breathe.
"Chen Rufeng." Li Longji called, Chen Rufeng looked up, took a step forward and said, "The grass people are there!"
"If you stay, the rest can retreat first." Li Longji said that Guan Xingyi and Jiang Shengtian looked at each other and saw that the other party's doubts were puzzled. They looked behind Chen Rufeng worriedly and retreated.
Li Longji, high above, looked down at Chen Rufeng. In his eyes, Chen Rufeng is just as small as dust. However, because of a person, he had to save him and even borrow the power of the dust.
Chen Rufeng looked up, but saw Li Longji's eyes twinkle.
"Chen Rufeng, I know that you have peerless light skills. Therefore, there is one thing to entrust to you. If you can do it, I will return your innocence. Although Li Longji has tried his best to restrain the meaning of pleading in his tone, Chen Rufeng's keen ears still heard it, and Chen Rufeng suddenly became interested. What on earth does the king of the Tang Dynasty require him as a nobody?
Seeing Chen Rufeng's thoughtful face, Li Longji restrained his face and said, "I will put Jiang Shengtian under house arrest in the prime minister's mansion and release him when you come back after you finish your work."
Chen Rufeng smiled bitterly after hearing this. Did he still have a choice? He had to squeeze out his respect and said, "Your Majesty, please order."
"This is an important secret of our Tang Dynasty. Now I entrust it to you. You should be careful to do this matter." Li Longji said solemnly, "I naturally know what kind of treasure the tribute in this case is, but the gift given by Tianzhu is so full of evil, which makes people feel that the intention of Tianzhu is erratic."
Chen Rufeng naturally fully agrees with this and has no objection. He is the victim (or benefiter) of this evil thing. Compared with Li Longji, he feels it more deeply, but what Li Longji told him is actually related to Heiyuanshi, which makes him a little confused.
"I hope you can go to Tianzhu to find out the origin of the black yuan stone and why the Tianzhu Congress gave me such an evil thing to the Tang Dynasty." Li Longji said slowly, but Chen Rufeng was shocked. In any case, he couldn't imagine that the emperor's request actually asked him to go to Tianzhu and leave the land of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing a hesitant expression on Chen Rufeng's face, Li Longji said again, "Don't worry, I will make sure to arrange it properly to ensure you are thorough. I saw that you are the most suitable candidate for this trip.
Li Longji said so, but vaguely, Chen Rufeng felt that he was persuading a person to be a substitute. Looking at it, Li Longji's face was somewhat similar to that of Wen Zicheng when he persuaded them to help.
In the Jinluan Hall, he fell into the silence of two people.
At the door of the back hall, the cold wind swept in and pushed Chen Rufeng's back straight. It seemed that there was a bottomless wind tunnel behind him. As long as he turned around, he would be sucked into the eternal situation.
Yes, I can't go back.
Li Longji waited for the answer given by Chen Rufeng, with both expectation and a hint of coercion in his eyes.
"Okay." Chen Rufeng knew that this was a real and last chance.
Whether it is life or death, let's leave it to the mysterious Tianzhu land to decide.
Li Longji nodded with satisfaction, but could not see the awe-inspiring in Chen Rufeng's eyes.
The three characters of Qingfeng Pavilion, in the cold wind, still exude a faint green, like a few clumps of green grass fighting tenaciously against the roaring wind.
facing the wide window of the door, the warm sunshine surrounds through the window, and the slight warmth can't resist the deep cold. The yellow futons in the room lay quietly on the cold ground, as if no one had used them for a long time.
On the high platform, one person sat with his eyes not leaving the chessboard for half an inch.
The black man and the white son have become a wonderful game, and the man seems to be seeing through a mystery.
White sunlight sprinkled on him, wearing a thick dark yellow robe and a fox fur coat, which was of great value. His deep eyes have been fascinated by the game.
The sound of footsteps came from the door, but it still did not attract the attention of the chess watchers.
The comer did not seem to dare to disturb the man's elegance. He lowered his head slightly and waited for the man.
"Is it coming?" Li Longji said lightly that his eyes were still sucked on the chess game. At this time, the majesty on his face had faded a lot, and it was replaced by the shrewdness and wisdom left by the vicissitudes of time.
Han Ling approached the high platform. Under the bright sunshine, his beautiful face was also completely exposed to the light, and the corners of his mouth rose, as if smiling. When he was about to walk on the high platform, he stopped and hung his head lower.
"Lord." Han Ling said respectfully that Li Longji seemed to be helpless about the chess game. He frowned and thought for a long time, while Han Ling still stood there and waited quietly.
In the end, Li Longji had no choice but to give up and look away from the black and white layout.
"I have done everything according to what you said." Li Longji said lightly, looking directly at Han Ling, who lowered his head, as if venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, but he did not dare to vent it so directly.
Han Ling smiled and said, "That's good. Lord, you can rest assured. I dare to guarantee that such things will be safe."
Li Longji was still suspicious, but when he saw Han Ling's confident eyes, he suppressed the suspicion in his stomach and said, "If you are fully sure, I will feel at ease."
Han Ling smiled and said yes. Li Longji looked down at the chess again, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was saying to Han Ling, "After so many years of heart knots, I really longed to know whether the fate of divination is really like this."
While Li Longji spoke, a trace of gloom flashed on Han Ling's face, but then turned back to a respectful smile and said, "Lord, there is a destiny in the dark. I believe that God will bless me in the Tang Dynasty."
These words seemed to touch something deep in Li Longji's heart. He looked up and sighed deeply, as if the troubles in his heart were never stopped.
Han Ling withdrew knowingly. In the rest of the room, Li Longji looked up and closed his eyes, and was silent.
Han Ling gently closed the door, but there was already a person waiting outside the door. Han Ling's eyes flashed strangely, and he didn't know whether it was friendly or hostile.
The man greeted him with a smile. He turned out to be the short-haired teenager with Han Ling in Ningzhou that day. His face was full of evil, which made people feel that he was thinking bad ideas all the time.
"Fan Qing." Han Ling whispered, with only a faint smile on his face, "I haven't seen you for a long time. After the farewell of Ningzhou that day, I don't know where you have gone."
This person is also one of the members of the Qingfeng Pavilion, rejuvenated Xu Fanqing.
Xu Fanqing smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not as busy as Han hermit. Han hermit either runs for two wanted criminals or works for the emperor. And my small corners are just playing with the mountains and rivers and venting the emptiness.
Han Ling naturally would not believe his words. He snorted coldly in his heart, and his face was still pleasant. He said, "So, is it possible that Master Fanqing is willing to put down good mountains and rivers today? I'm afraid it's not just visiting Han when he comes back here?"
Xu Fanqing raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Oh, I can't talk nonsense about this. Han hermit is thoughtful. If I say a few more words, you can guess my intention. This is not fun, haha!"
Han Ling wanted to say something else, but he saw Xu Fan's side of his head, glanced to the right and said, "It turns out that someone else is coming to find Han Hermit, so I won't bother you." After saying that, he turned up his white figure and disappeared.
Han Ling saw the figure on the roof in the distance, quickly pedaled, got up and flew there.
Chaogu crossed his arms and stared straight ahead. The cold wind roared, as if thousands of needles pierced his body. He was not moved, as if he was integrated with the arrogant wind.
Han Ling's figure suddenly fell beside him and looked at the direction of his eyes, but it was the hazy palace.
"Are my two apprentices all right?" Chaoqi said lightly, but Han Ling could still hear a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"I promise you that he will come back here safely to see you." Han Ling vowed to turn his head and look at his full smile, but he couldn't raise confidence in him.
"At the beginning, you asked them to worship me as a teacher. Since I was willing to accept them as apprentices, I was naturally responsible for them." Chaojiao said firmly, "In the final analysis, you have caused this disaster."
"Of course I know this." Han Ling said, "But this is the best way so far, and I will also go to Tianzhu later."
After listening to this, Chaoku was slightly stunned, moved his eyes away and stopped talking.
A teenager left his hometown like this and was not familiar with the road of life. He would not be relieved by anyone. But with Han Ling's company, maybe that teenager will be less lonely and more dependent.
He vaguely felt that Chen Rufeng's trip to Tianzhu would be very dangerous. Unfortunately, he had something urgent to do, otherwise he would follow him.
The two looked towards Miyagi at the same time, but one smiled faintly and the other was worried.
