Chapter 499 Pedestrians Grow Like Grass, Why Worry, Fear and Joy

The two agreed on the itinerary and set off soon.

The camera pans obliquely, showing the departing figures of Qin Guiyan and Su Su from near to far, from left to right. The next second, an old man dressed as a courtier walked into the screen from right to left.

"Mr. Xue Ge."

The eunuch in charge bowed slightly. Without saying anything, Xue Yin knew that the emperor was reviewing memorials in the imperial study. He nodded slightly and stepped forward.

The current Holy Emperor and Emperor of Great Xia, Li Zhi, is indeed sitting firmly behind the table as he thought.

"Jing'an, you're here." Although he looked old, his hearing was good. He heard the soft footsteps and called out Xue Yin's name without raising his head.

Xue Yin met the emperor as usual. The two of them sat and stood together, but unexpectedly fell into silence.

After a long time, Li Zhiping stepped back, put his arms on the armrests of the dragon chair with slight force, and slowly stood up.

"Jing'an, look at me."

His voice was low, with a hint of weakness, but his overlord posture remained intact, and his words were spoken with dignity.

Xue Yin concentrated and raised his head.

"Your Majesty." He spoke, opening and closing his lips several times, but remained silent.

Li Zhi and Xue Yin looked at each other, a little tired in their dignified manner.

He said: "Today, the court ordered your little daughter Xue Yuyuan to marry and make a marriage. Can you blame me?"

Xue Yin's old body suddenly trembled, and he lowered his head bitterly: "How dare I, Wei Chen."

Li Zhi laughed "haha" twice and asked again:

"In that case, what do you think about the prince's proposal for marriage?"

Xue Yin's hands underneath him shook even more violently. After a while, he said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, three generations of the Xue family have served as ministers, and they will be loyal to you forever and ever."

Li Zhi looked at him deeply, his dark and turbid eyes full of self-deprecation.

A flash of gray and white suddenly flashed across the screen, spreading out like ink, introducing a memory, which was exactly what Li Zhi said was "today's court".

"Dear dear sirs, if there is something going on, you will come to court, if there is nothing going on, you will retreat from the court -"

"Father!"

A voice came out more and more, almost drowning out the last voice of Emperor Li Zhi, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense and fell into dead silence.

Li Zhi's eyes were dim, looking at the prince Li Zhe standing proudly under the jade steps, and said slowly: "What's important for the prince?"

Li Zhe put on a leisurely smile and bowed his hands.

"My son, I have long admired the little girl from Xue Ge's hometown, and I sincerely ask my father to grant me a decree to marry her."

Xue Yin, who was standing at the front of the courtiers' queue, was shaken. He felt that the eyes of his colleagues all over the court were looking at him, like rays on his back, and he was sweating coldly.

Li Zhi's face suddenly darkened. After a while, he showed a faint smile and said in a calm voice:

"The little girl of the Xue family is knowledgeable and courteous. She has won my heart. Not long ago, she made a secret agreement with the elder Pavilion to recognize her as an adopted daughter."

Li Zhe's handsome face suddenly became slightly distorted.

"It's a time when the barbarians are causing trouble, and war is about to happen." Li Zhi said indifferently, "pass on the decree, and make Xue Yu, the daughter of the Xue family, Princess Chunping, and go to the north to make peace with the barbarian king Lannu, forge friendship between the two countries, and promote the majesty of Great Xia , Promote harmony and happiness among the people."

Xue Yin's pupils shrank suddenly and he felt heavy in his heart, but the eunuch beside him read the imperial edict loudly, so he had to accept the edict silently and thank him.

Li Zhe stared at the emperor on the stage, reading a sense of victory in his old eyes. He smiled and praised a few words of "Father is wise" and returned to the courtiers.

The lion and the eagle completed a round of power confrontation in this grand palace. The biological father and son were as incompatible as water and fire. The surface of the huge palace was as quiet as the dead sea, but the undercurrent was turbulent inside.

After the recollection ended, Li Zhi and Xue Yin were still standing opposite each other in the royal study. However, the audience on site and online were not as calm as the two men appeared on the surface, and started talking one after another.

[The confrontation just now was awesome! 】

[WOC was shocked by Liu Zhe, he is so powerful and his acting skills are so strong! 】

[The ancient costume looks quite suitable for these two people]

[Li Zhi originally looked quite heroic]

[Yes, the company CEO who was also played in the first round seems to be working with Qin Jue]

[I didn’t expect that playing the emperor would have such a strong aura]

[The plot is so straightforward. Is it because it’s not long enough? 】

【Am I the only one who doesn't understand? . . I don’t know what the people in these palace fights think]

[What kind of palace fight is this? Is this considered a political conspiracy?]

[Did you notice that the emperor looked bad? It's obvious that the father is getting old and the son can't wait to take his place. Xinyue's request for marriage is all nonsense. This is forcing Xue Ge to always take sides! 】

[Your Majesty is also ruthless. If I ask you to provoke me, I will directly send Xue Yu out to get married. Let’s see what else you can say.]

[This...it seems that Mr. Xue Ge loves this girl very much. It is so heart-breaking for the emperor to do this]

[I think both father and son are not normal. My son provoked me in court, and I insisted on overpowering him. I felt that I had to prove that I had the power, which was a bit crazy.]

[Aren’t all emperors like this?]

[I will stand with Li Zhe this time and bring down this emperor]

[Second opinion, it’s boring to get married easily.]

[Laughing like crazy, talking as if Li Zhe must be a good emperor]

[Am I the only one who is very happy to watch this plot? I feel so happy when I think of Xue Yuan playing Xue Yu]

[Well, the character is innocent...]

[I know, but it’s still cool]

The focus of the barrage gradually deviated, but the conversation between Li Zhi and Xue Yin continued in the screen.

The old Emperor of Great Xia was seriously ill and knew that his time was short, but which person in power could face the passing of power and remain indifferent?

He is paranoid, sick, and has even lost some of the pride he once had as a king. It seems that there is a voice in the dark telling him: Facing this only son, you must guard against death. If you leave any loopholes, he will severely punish you. Take a bite of meat.

Xue Yin, a loyal minister of three generations in the Xue family, had only two sons in his life. Seventeen years ago, he finally got a daughter. He regarded Xue Yu as the apple of his eye. This time, he was impatient and became angry when he saw Li Zhe's sharp eyes. burn--

But it was so difficult for the emperor to admit his mistake.

Li Zhi smiled solemnly: "Jing'an, I have known you since childhood, and it has been more than forty years now."

As he spoke, he turned around and said with emotion, "It's a pity that time is not forgiving."

"The Emperor is the True Dragon Emperor, surrounded by auspiciousness..."

Li Zhi smiled and waved his hand: "There is such a rift between you and me."

Xue Yin was silent for a long time and sighed.

"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body." He said sincerely.

In addition to being monarchs and ministers, the two of them are also good friends. In recent years, disputes between father and son in the royal family have continued, and Xue Yin was in the middle of the situation. As a minister, he was resentful because of the marriage, but he was grateful and fearful for successfully protecting himself, and as a friend I couldn't bear to watch my long-time friend become increasingly weak and exhausted, and my mood was extremely complicated and painful.

Xue Yin couldn't help but think of that swallow. With him around, the emperor could at least smile sincerely.

"Jing'an." Li Zhi did not respond to his concern. He just called his name and said meaningfully, "Although Barbarian King Lannu admires Da Xia Jiao'e, he has never met her so far."

Xue Yin understood the hint and immediately raised his eyelids.

Li Zhi still didn't turn around, he only said softly, as if to himself:

"What most people want is a stable life. It would be a pleasure to give up this glory and find a place to live in seclusion near mountains and rivers."

Xue Yin's breathing quickened and he bowed heavily to Li Zhi.

"That's what the emperor said." He said with a trembling voice.

"You go ahead." Li Zhi raised his hand tiredly, "It's the time of summer, and I don't know if the nest under the eaves of the palace will be able to fall into the nest this year."

"I am willing to share the emperor's worries, so I will go find Yanzi." Xue Yin responded quickly with a happy face.

"Let's go! If a spring swallow comes here and sends it all the way, it will be fun to travel far away..."

As he spoke, Li Zhi turned around and met Xue Yin's excited and grateful eyes. He smiled tiredly for a moment and said, "This is my promise."

As if echoing what he said, the clear bird calls became weaker and louder, and the volume became louder and louder, until the scene faded, a hand gently picked the leaves, and the "chirping" of the birds stopped at this time.

The camera zoomed out, Qin Guiyan stroked the leaves, put it to his lips and played a light tune, which made Su Su next to her purse her lips and smile.

The whistle sounded all the way, and the two walked to the deep suburbs. They saw a courtyard not far away, surrounded by bamboo forests and towering trees. When they got closer, their eyes were full of green.

Qin Guiyan stopped blowing the whistle, blew the leaves on his fingertips, and watched it drift away into the wind.

"……etc!"

Su Su suddenly spoke up, her face wary, "There seems to be something going on inside."

"Don't panic."

With a lazy smile on his face, Qin Guiyan easily pulled out the hatchet stuck on the wooden pile in front of the door, Shi Shiran drove straight in, and Su Su hurriedly followed behind him.

"Who did this with such cruelty?"

The hospital was covered with devastation and looked miserable. Su Su couldn't help but frown and subconsciously looked for blood stains to avoid missing the injured.

"I remember it was this way..."

Qin Guiyan muttered to himself and led Su Su into the south wing.

"Huh?"

Su Su was stunned. The room in front of her was elegant and sophisticated. There were numerous calligraphy and paintings on the walls. The four treasures of the study were all on the table. The ink on the paper was still wet.

Wow!

The bricks above the head suddenly shattered, and a slender black shadow fell vertically down!

"Watch out!"

Qin Guiyan shouted softly, put his right hand around Su Su's shoulder, turned around halfway, raised the hatchet in his hand upwards, and wiped out a large area of ​​silver on the back of the knife. The brilliance bloomed majestically, like the Milky Way upside down, and like a bright moon high. Hanging, too bright to look directly at.

Su Su's eyes widened in astonishment.

The attacker turned over in the air and retreated hastily.

"Damn it!"

A gentle voice sounded from his mouth.

"How dare you make fun of me with your third-rate Qinggong skills?" Qin Guiyan laughed loudly, slapped the blade with his backhand, and floated forward on his toes. The blunt hatchet spun around in his palm, and then he held it in his hand. It was as soft and fast as a snake in the hand, with only a little cold light left at the top while flying, and it suddenly hit the person's head.

"Tsk!"

The man smacked his tongue. His body was as light and flexible as a leaf in the strong wind. It was not the "third-rate Qinggong" mentioned by Qin Guiyan at all. He was using skill to break through force. Unfortunately, his opponent changed his attack and turned from chopping to entangling, and he failed. Within a quarter of an hour, he couldn't hold on and was defeated.

The back of the old hatchet was pressed against the man's shoulder, almost to the side of his neck. Qin Guiyan raised his hand and yawned, his peach blossom eyes full of teasing smiles.

He said, "Hey, don't you want to fight?"

The two of them were moving as fast as a meteor, which made Su Su dizzy. Only then could he clearly see the appearance of the uninvited guest.

He was dressed elegantly and elegantly, holding a soft sword. Although there were fine lines at the corners of his eyes and lips, his temperament was outstanding and he did not look old.

"Let me introduce you." Qin Guiyan said with a smile, "This is Mr. Shu."

"What old man!" The man rolled his eyes in anger, and Su Su suddenly felt friendly, "Call him 'Shu Gongzi'!"

"Okay, it's up to you."

Qin Guiyan took away the hatchet, shrugged his shoulders, pointed at "Shu Gongzi" with his free hand and said with a smile, "This is Ye Hua, one of the five masters in the world in the past."

"Five Jue Ye Paintings?! You are Qinshu Shu - uh, haha. Junior pays homage to Senior Ye."

Su Su had listened to a lot of books these days, and she immediately matched the anecdotes between the person in front of her and his name one by one. She immediately remembered that the "Five Arts" were the piano, chess, calligraphy, swordsmanship, and the martial arts of lightness. "For the sake of fame but not knowing how to draw, he quickly stopped talking with a dry smile.

Ye Hua didn't mind. He nodded slightly and said hello. His words and demeanor were outstanding, and he was worthy of the name of a young master.

"Shu, where's the other one?"

Qin Guiyan threw the hatchet away, looked left and right carelessly, and looked up at the hole in the roof, "Come out quickly, it's time to add bricks and tiles."

Ye Hua looked at the dusty hatchet that he threw to the ground. He tried his best to resist the urge to roll his eyes again. He snorted angrily and called in the other direction: "Brother Shi." ! Come out!”

Extremely heavy footsteps immediately sounded from not far away, as if the ground was shaking.

Su Su subconsciously moved closer to Qin Guiyan, met Ye Hua's glance, and suddenly blushed.

Qin Guiyan didn't care. He just tilted his head and explained to her softly: "Little Shitou has always been tall and strong, but he has a kind-hearted nature and takes care of his family. He is a righteous man who is easy to get along with. There is no need to be afraid."

Su Su was still holding his robe with one hand, blinked uncomfortably and said "hmm".

Ye Hua saw this and shook his head.

After a while, Shi Lifeng strode over. Su Su was frightened by his size and took a small step back, and then quickly noticed something unusual about him.

It turns out that the right half of Shi Lifeng's body, from his shoulders to his legs, was a little weak, so he couldn't run anymore. He even stumbled when he walked normally. No wonder there was always an unusually loud sound when the footsteps overlapped.

"small stone--"

Qin Guiyan eagerly spread his arms towards Shi Lifeng, who was more than a head taller than him, "Long time no see!"

Shi Lifeng laughed twice, hugged him, and moved his eyes to Su Su, with the same expression as Ye Hua.

Su Su felt uncomfortable being looked at, so she followed the rules of the martial arts world by clasping her fists in a junior salute and announcing her name.

"It's not convenient to talk here. If Miss Su Su doesn't mind, please move to the main courtyard with me." Ye Hua smiled elegantly.

"Oh, okay, please, senior." Su Su responded quickly.

"You stay and repair the roof together." Ye Hua was rude to Qin Guiyan.

"Hey, it's obvious that some people are suspected of being seriously ill. They quickly pretend to be in ruins when there are visitors, and they also engage in such boring sneak attacks. Why is there another one like me to clean up the mess now?"

Qin Guiyan spoke in a high-pitched voice, "Qin is a guest after all. Is this how you, Mr. Shu, treat guests?"

"Where did you come from, a scoundrel?"

Ye Huayun's calm expression suddenly collapsed. Su Su couldn't hold it back and snickered.

"Let's stop making trouble." Qin Guiyan suppressed his expression and nodded to Su Su with a smile, "You can let him go first, Xiao Shitou and I will be here soon. By the way, he has always been good at making snacks. Eat some, you’re welcome.”

"...Well, okay." Su Su nodded lightly.

Geez.

Ye Hua looked at the man and woman, smiled warmly, and grinned in a place where Su Su couldn't see.

Watching the two figures fade away, behind him Shi Lifeng had moved out the solid wooden ladder to repair the roof. Qin Guiyan floated up into the air like a breeze, calmly fell down, lifted up his outer robe and sat next to Shi Lifeng.

"Little Stone." He said casually, "It's been ten years and the poison is still not cured?"

4200+

Gradually accepted the reality of explosive word count...
