Having become a prisoner in this imperial capital, who does he have to complain about what his only friend has done for him? After all, these things are for his own good. Now he can only recover from his injuries as soon as possible.
It was half a month after Zhou Xing was able to get up and walk in the imperial capital. Zhou Xing's face was still pale and he looked a little sick. His body had not fully recovered, and his martial arts had only recovered four or five times. Cheng, Zhou Xing's 40% or 50% martial arts performance is already very terrifying in the imperial capital. The Enshrinement Hall is the forbidden area of Xingchen Pavilion, with seven huge courtyards, including rockeries, lotus ponds, and all kinds of rare treasures. The grass is like a fairyland. Except for the servants who serve, no one can enter the courtyard on weekdays. Even the master of the Star Pavilion and the respected academicians need the consent of the worshipers. Even the little emperor wants to come to see him. Murong Jue also needs to send someone to inform him. You can imagine the status of the worship hall in the imperial capital, and those worshipers are like people who do not eat the fireworks of the world. Except for occasionally showing up, they will only stay in their own courtyard. Here, either they were in seclusion, or one or two people were studying martial arts. Except for Murong Jue who went out occasionally, Zhou Xing never saw them go out.
"No wonder there is no mention of a worship hall in the imperial capital." Zhou Xing murmured to himself. People like these have become old gods. It is indeed difficult to hear about them. The streets of the imperial capital It was very prosperous, and Zhou Xing walked through the streets that were both familiar and unfamiliar. He had not returned to the Imperial Capital for ten years. People in the Imperial Capital had already thought that he had died in that accident. Canglan Kingdom had gone through two changes of imperial power. , one of them was thirty years ago, when the crown prince who ascended the throne was deprived of the throne by his younger brother Prince Rui only a month after he ascended the throne. I thought that the orthodox emperor had been secretly eliminated by Prince Rui. Lost. Unexpectedly, the orthodox emperor not only did not die, but instead went dormant. He regained the throne ten years ago. It was also ten years ago that Zhou Xing left the imperial capital and went to the world. No one knew except Zhou Xing himself. What does he have to do with the incident ten years ago?
"Hey, is it him?" A cry of surprise rang out, and in the bustling street, Zhou Xing was among the crowd, but he was still caught by a glance.
"Princess, who is it?" A maid next to her, wearing a goose-yellow dress, with a pink face that was a little immature, stood at the door of the balcony to prevent those people from getting close to the balcony, and this nine-year-old girl Princess, what she likes most is to sit on the balcony and watch the bustling crowds in the street eating. This may be the way of life. Although the crowd is noisy, Zhou Xing can be seen in the crowd. The princess's eyes are obviously very Not bad, but following the princess's gaze towards the crowd, the maid could only see the crowd.
“Do you still remember Pinglan’s Ten Strategies?” Ninth Princess said quietly.
"Princess, could it be the Zhou champion?" The maid's eyes also shone with light. Ping Lan's Ten Strategies was an article that won the imperial examination champion in one fell swoop. This article was written by a man named Zhou Xing. The young man took part in the imperial examination for the first time. It is already a very rare genius to win the exam. This person is not onlyNot only did he top the list in high school, but he also wrote the Ten Policies of Pinglan in the imperial examination. The reigning emperor at that time was Prince Rui, who directly let him enter the cabinet. You must know that only important ministers can enter the cabinet. Zhou Xing entered the cabinet because he was only eighteen years old. It can be said that he is the youngest cabinet minister and the first person in history.
"I didn't expect him to return to the imperial capital." The ninth princess looked at the white figure slowly disappearing into the crowd, with tears in her eyes, obviously caught in some memories.
"Princess, do you want to go see him?" the maid asked. Although the ninth princess has a very respected status now, her identity is very embarrassing because she is the ninth daughter of Prince Rui. Although she was named the Ninth Princess by the current little emperor, there are still many eyes staring at her secretly. If she rashly goes to see Zhou Xing, some people will definitely think that she has not let go of the replacement of the throne ten years ago. After all, her father was killed by the late emperor. No one knows whether the ninth princess has any hatred for this in her heart.
"Forget it." The Ninth Princess just said lightly, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
"If you want to see him, you can go see him, but it doesn't matter whether he wants to or not." Wearing a purple satin brocade robe, his brows were filled with a bit of majesty, and behind him was a slightly taller man. When the maid saw the rickety old man, she immediately bowed and did not dare to look at him, because he was the current little emperor, and the old man was the little emperor's personal eunuch. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, the old eunuch The unique sinister aura frightened her.
"Your Majesty, did you know he was coming back?" The Ninth Princess looked at her cousin in surprise. Of course, in addition to being a cousin, he was also the emperor of Canglan Kingdom.
"Of course I know, but he is no longer Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing died ten years ago. His name is Zhou Xing." Naturally, the little emperor knew that Zhou Xing was coming out today, so he wanted to meet him by chance. A legendary figure, but he didn't dare to get close because he didn't want to offend this peerless powerful man.
"Zhou Xing, what's the point of changing your name?" The Ninth Princess sighed.
"I am looking forward to seeing what Yang Ye will look like if he sees him." The little emperor sat down directly in front of the Ninth Princess and said with a very expectant expression.
"Yang Ye is already the chief minister of the dynasty, and he?" The ninth princess shook her head. Who is Yang Ye? He is the chief minister of the dynasty. Except for the commander-in-chief of the army, he can Suppress Yang Ye, who else can compare with Yang Ye? Yang Ye has been able to reach this point not only by relying on his talent, but also his keen vision and means. The late emperor was able to regain the throne. He and the commander-in-chief of the army were With his outstanding contributions, otherwise Yang Ye would not be the youngest chief minister of Canglan Kingdom, and now he is still the auxiliary minister of the late emperor Tuogu.
"Jiu Mei, you underestimate him. He is Zhou Xing. That's enough. No one in the world can despise him. I'm talking about the world." The little emperor said the word "world" It was very heavy, and the little emperor had already said the word Jiu Mei. At this time, the Ninth Princess had to be careful.Zhong, especially from that look in her eyes, she saw a desire of the little emperor, and what exactly that desire was, the Ninth Princess certainly knew that Yang Ye, as the most powerful official in the Canglan Kingdom today, also has the reputation of assisting the government. The little emperor had no choice but to control the government. Of course he wanted to get rid of Yang Ye's constraints.
"Third brother, I understand, I will go to the worship hall to find him." The Ninth Princess's eyes were very surprised, but her tone was also very serious.
"It seems that I can return to the palace." The little emperor smiled happily. This was the most comfortable smile for him. Especially when he heard the three words of "Enshrinement Hall", he was very satisfied. , because his sister is indeed very smart, and the little emperor knows that many words from the outside are very detrimental to the princess, but the little emperor knows that the princess may hate the late emperor, but she will never hate herself, because Prince Rui was He moved into the imperial mausoleum, and she was able to survive the accident ten years ago because of the little emperor. The little emperor really regarded her as his sister, and she also regarded the little emperor as his brother, so she He will definitely help the little emperor deal with Yang Ye. Gu Xi
"It seems that you have many friends." A chess piece fell on the chessboard. Murong Jue and Zhou Xing sat in the pavilion to play chess, while a servant stood respectfully. In the distance, because a princess came to visit the worshiper named Zhou Xing.
"Unexpectedly, after I went out, people already knew that the imperial capital is indeed not a peaceful place." Zhou Xing sighed helplessly.
"If you don't want to see me, I can't force you." Murong Jue said with a smile.
"See you, of course I have to see you." Not long after, the Ninth Princess walked into the yard. They were still playing chess in the pavilion, and the princess was standing on the grass outside the pavilion. Below the pavilion was The lotus pond, and although the distance between the princess and them was only a few feet, it seemed that they were separated by a long river that was so wide that the shore could not be seen. Zhou Xing and Murong Jue did not seem to see the princess in their eyes, and they just played chess by themselves until the end. Murong Jueqi missed one move and lost to Zhou Xing.
"Alas, I still lost." Of course Murong Jue was unwilling to accept it, but he had no choice. Zhou Xing's chess skills were definitely not comparable to his. He also knew that he was able to play against Zhou Xing for so many rounds because of The reason why Zhou Xing wants to do this is that if Zhou Xing wants to win half of his life, he will only win half of his life in the end. As for losing, there is probably no such thing as losing in Zhou Xing's world.
"Little girl, you dare to come to see me. This is a lot of courage." Zhou Xing's eyes fell on the Ninth Princess. At this time, a cold air emanated from Zhou Xing's body and he stood on the lawn. The Ninth Princess above was terrified at this moment. In the air around her, there seemed to be countless sharp swords hanging in front of her, as if Zhou Xing could kill her with just one thought. Now she finally understood what the little emperor wanted. The meaning of that sentence is that no one in the world can despise him, but he can despise everyone in the world.
"She is indeed not young. She must be the most courageous person I have ever seen." Murong Jue also said, of course he understood why this little girl came, and of course it was not just to meet Zhou Xing,If she just wanted to see Zhou Xing, then she had already seen him on the street today, so why would she come here?
"Please accept me as a disciple." The Ninth Princess knelt down. This was her purpose. She did not hide her purpose, so both Murong Jue and Zhou Xing knew why she came. It was just their Murong Jue's face was still very calm. Of course Murong Jue was calm because it had nothing to do with him. She was looking for Zhou Xing to become her disciple, but was Zhou Xing such an easy person to recruit as a disciple? No, of course not. Zhou Xing just wanted to attack the realm of nirvana and open the way to heaven. But Murong Jue also knew that during the battle at Linjiang, Zhou Xing had shackles in his heart. This level Zhou Xing himself didn't know what the shackles were. Today, when he walked into the bustling streets of the imperial capital, he seemed to realize a little bit, but it was just a little bit.
"Do you think he will accept it?" Murong Jue asked, as if Zhou Xing didn't hear this at all.
"I don't know." The Ninth Princess gave her own answer. Of course she didn't know whether Zhou Xing would accept her as his disciple. If it was Zhou Xing ten years ago, he would definitely accept her, but in front of her Zhou Xing is no longer the Zhou Xing of ten years ago, but a strange Zhou Xing.
"I don't know, are you still here?" Zhou Xing's face was still very plain, but the aura exuding from his body gradually turned into a cold wind, and the slight sound seemed to stir. The strings are pleasant and crisp, but what follows is coldness. The coldness is like a needle prick, rushing towards the Ninth Princess. She is indeed lucky, because she knows that Zhou Xing is Zhou Xing , she thought that no matter how Zhou Xing changed, there would still be some shadow of Zhou Xing, but she was wrong, and she was so wrong. Zhou Xing could no longer see the shadow of Zhou Xing. The cold air came from the lotus pond, The lotus pond was freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The sword energy has transformed into tens of millions, and your sword is even more terrifying." Murong Jue also praised, although the battle with Hua Rongye did not break through the realm, it undoubtedly improved Zhou Xing's sword. At one level, if Hua Rongye fought Zhou Xing now, Zhou Xing would not need to fight to the death, and could even kill Hua Rongye without getting hurt.
"It's better to retreat, little girl, you can't stand it." Murong Jue kindly warned, the ice was approaching the Ninth Princess layer by layer. The ice was not just ice, it was Of course, more importantly, Zhou Xing's sword has understood the level of intention. Without using the true energy, it froze the entire lotus pond in an instant. Except for the power of intention, there will be no other power. Being able to do both of these things is already regarded as divine power.
"Why?" Of course the Ninth Princess was puzzled, because even if Zhou Xing's sword energy froze the entire lotus pond, it only meant that Zhou Xing was very powerful. Why did Murong Jue say that she couldn't withstand it, even though she stood There, she felt a coldness, but the mere coldness was not enough to make her retreat. After all, she was not a flower growing in the palace. She had also experienced bloodshed, the change of imperial power, and had seen A person of blood and conspiracy has experienced wind and rain, and even flowers will become extremely powerful, so she is not afraid of the cold, but Zhou Xing'sThe sword is not just cold.
"Did you see it?" Murong Jue just pointed at the cold air that was crawling and spreading like earthworms, freezing everything. Except for the water in the lotus pond, even stones, weeds, and wood were frozen. It spread bit by bit towards the place where the Ninth Princess was standing. Although it was scary, the Ninth Princess was still puzzled.
"If you are touched by this frost, then you will be dead." Murong Jue was just telling a simple fact. Although the ice comes slowly, as long as you touch it, even if you touch it a little bit, you will be dead. Just a little bit, this ninth princess will also fall, just because it is Zhou Xing's sword energy, just like Zhou Xing's sword, Zhou Xing's sword is a killing sword, of course the sword energy can only kill people, and the sword intention is to kill people, An ordinary person like the Ninth Princess couldn't bear even a trace of it, so Murong Jue was right, Zhou Xing was not testing her, but was preparing to let her die by the sword.
The Ninth Princess is a strong person. She thought Zhou Xing was testing her. The ice kept covering everything in the courtyard and spread towards her feet. She still had no idea at all. Without retreating, she read the story. There are always many magical stories in the world. For example, some stories are about apprenticeship. Some peerless masters test the determination of their apprentices, so they make them kneel for several days and nights. , or even go to the cliff to pick an insignificant little flower.
