Chapter 378

As soon as the imperial decree came out, it immediately attracted countless discussions.

It must be difficult for Prince Jing's son to leave the capital after entering the capital. Is this what you mean by asking him to be a hostage?

The question is how can Cangzhou agree to it? If it refuses, will Chu State start a civil war?

What is the emperor thinking, or is this the meaning of Zhang Dashi and court ministers, otherwise how can this decree come out of the palace? Many people with conspiracy theories even thought of another possibility. Could it be that the idiot emperor really came to his senses and was unwilling to be a puppet anymore, and wanted to call in foreign aid to ensure his own safety?

Numerous speculations fluttered over the capital like yellow leaves falling from a tree.

As time went by, the cold became stronger, and there was no movement in Cangzhou, and people became more and more uneasy.

How do you think Prince Jing's son has no reason to accept the decree, and the rare prosperity and prosperity will end because of that imperial decree?

Thinking of this possibility, both the officials and the common people felt hatred towards the idiot emperor in the palace, thinking what kind of imperial decree this is, it is completely muddled and random! Even Grand Master Zhang, who allowed His Majesty to issue the decree, has received countless defamations...

The first snow fell, and the atmosphere in the capital of Chu State was extremely cold.

The soldiers guarding the city rubbed their hands, praying for the sudden death of the idiot emperor in the palace, and everyone quickly forgot about the imperial decree.

Suddenly, he saw a team coming from a distance in the field outside the city.

In the snowstorm, Prince Jing's son came to the capital.

...

...

The cold wind in the capital was replaced by warmth, and almost all the people flocked to both sides of the street.

Countless enthusiastic or curious gazes fell on the front car. The coldness of the capital is far less than that of Cangzhou. It may be because of this that Prince Jing's son, although weak, still opened the window, leaned against the window, smiled and waved at the people on the street.

Prince Jing's son is very famous in the state of Chu. Everyone knows that he is as beautiful as a flower, has a gentle temperament, is born with Su Hui, and is extremely perfect.

His only regret is that he has a disability and is not good at walking, but he has received more love and affection because of it.

Looking at the prince in the window, the people on the street were extremely excited, and those women looked at the smile on his lips, and they were even more fascinated, their legs were soft.

Someone said: "I heard that His Majesty is also very beautiful, but his brain is not very good."

This statement has attracted numerous ridicule and criticism.

Prince Jing's son risked his life to come to the capital for the sake of the peace of the Chu state and for the people to stay away from the flames of war. How could that idiot emperor compare to his benevolence and bravery?

Then many people thought of a terrible thing. Since His Majesty the Emperor is an idiot, he must be confused and possibly irritable. Thinking of the imperial decree that allowed King Jing's son to enter the capital, what if he really ordered his son to be killed? This speculation spread quickly, and the crowd on both sides of the street became agitated. Some scholars raised their arms and led the crowd to the palace like a tide, demanding to meet the Grand Scholars. For the sake of the state of Chu, they must save the life of the prince.

...

...

In the snow pavilion, Prince Jing met the famous idiot emperor.

Tong Yan finally met Jing Jiu.

After twenty years, even if he is as calm and intelligent as he is, he can't help but express some emotion, saying: "From this point to that point, it really makes sense for the people in Guocheng Temple to step into the world of mortals."

Jing Jiu said, "Have you never been in before?"

Tong Yan said, "Yes."

Jing Jiu said, "Bai Zao should have come here."

Tong Yan gave him a strange look, and said, "You were not a person who was willing to provoke."

Jing Jiu thought for a while and said, "I'm really not very good at it."

Tong Yan said: "We can only be us in the end, even if we come to the illusion and have lived here for twenty years, we are still us."

Jing Jiu understood what he meant. What kind of person the aspirants will reincarnate when they come to the illusion has nothing to do with Qingtian Jian, but only with themselves. They will become the kind of person they want to be the most, the self in the deepest memory, and then grow up according to their own vision, pattern and most important wishes until they succeed or die. For example, Bai Zao has always regarded herself as the future leader of the righteous way, so she was born as a princess, but she has to endure countless trials and hardships, and the same goes for everyone else.

"Senior Brother Bai is decisive in killing and attacking, which is highly appreciated by Master, but I didn't expect that his will is so strong, and it is more fully displayed here. Zhuo Rusui just wanted to fight, so he became an assassin. Although the gains from his practice here cannot be kept, I think he must have gained the most benefits here."

Tong Yan said: "He Zhan hates his good luck in reality, so his luck here is very bad. What he remembers most clearly is the betrayal of his friends, so here he will continue to meet friends and experience betrayal until he also learns these things, or overcomes them."

Jing Jiu didn't speak, but listened quietly.

"Que Niang wanted to play chess, so she was reincarnated as the son of the owner of the chess hall. This also shows that she was a woman practicing Taoism, and she must have suffered a lot in the mirror sect."

Bai Zao didn't reincarnate as a man, it was just because she was favored in Yunmeng Mountain, didn't she suffer any hardships?

Tong Yan is unwilling to think about the deepest reason.

Jing Jiu said, "What about you?"

Tong Yan said: "According to my calculations, I may become a good minister or a military adviser in the future."

Whether it is a good minister or a military adviser, they all play the role of assistant.

Who he wants to assist is very clear.

Jing Jiu's eyes fell on the wheelchair.

Tong Yan's legs were covered with a woolen blanket.

In reality, he is a young and strong Zhongzhou faction, a real son of the fairy family, why did he reincarnate as a cripple in the illusion?

Because Bai Zao was congenitally deficient, weak and sickly, he pitied him deeply and wanted to exchange his body day and night.

The word love is really harmful.

Jing Jiu thought silently.

Even such a smart person can't avoid it.

Tong Yan knew what he had guessed, pulled up the blanket, looked at him and said, "The only thing I can't figure out is why you reincarnated as the prince of Chu State? With your temperament and will, this would never happen, so I'm really curious about your real identity in reality. The Chaogejing family can't raise a son like you."

Jing Jiu didn't answer his question directly, but said, "No one can calculate everything that happened to others, including you and me."

"Of the twenty-six aspirants, Zhuo Rusui killed seven of them. I killed two of them, leaving seventeen of them. Nine of them are under my control and can be eliminated at any time. The remaining seven are Xi Yiyun, He Zhan, Zhuo Rusui, Bai Qianjun, Junior Sister, you...and him."

Tong Yan glanced at the guard outside Xueting, then continued.

"Xi Yiyun never showed up, it's a bit weird, Zhuo Rusui's whereabouts are erratic, it's hard to catch, I can only try to control the five of you first."

Jing Jiu said: "If you can't control it, you will try to kill it. You have sent seven groups of people over these years. It's really annoying."

After the age of fifteen, he hadn't eaten anything, as for how to hide it from those eunuchs and maids, naturally Liu Shisui was in charge.

Moreover, he was deep in the palace and never left the gate of the palace. It was really not easy to kill him.

But Tong Yan did not give up her efforts, but failed.

He looked at the guard outside the pavilion again, and said, "I didn't expect him to be so strong and patient."

Jing Jiu said, "Knowing what you want to do, it's not difficult to deal with it."

Tong Yan said: "The question is how can you be sure that those people are all sent by me? Why can't it be Zhang Dashi? Where does your trust in him come from?"

Jing Jiu said: "It has nothing to do with trust, it's just that if he wants to kill me, he will definitely mobilize a large army to attack, and he will not use such a petty means as an assassin."

Tong Yan said, "You think highly of him."

Jing Jiu said, "He helped me deal with a lot of things."

Tong Yan asked: "Then why can't it be another questioner? For example, Bai Qianjun, or He Zhan?"

Jing Jiu said, "I'm an idiot emperor, and I pose no threat to them."

Tong Yan said: "No one would think Qingshan Jingjiu is an idiot."

Jing Jiu said: "An idiot is an idiot's behavior. In their opinion, if my choice or path is wrong, then I am an idiot."

Tong Yan said: "I don't think so, although until now, I still can't figure out what path you chose."

Jing Jiu said, "You think I'm right, so you want to kill me."

Tong Yan said: "I have always thought that you are the biggest competitor of Junior Sister, and the rest are nothing to be afraid of, so I can only rest assured if I kill you."

Jing Jiu said, "You are right."

Tong Yan was silent for a while, and said, "I hope you can give me a chance to prove me wrong."

...

...

At the edge of Qingtian Jian, Xiang Wanshu and Que Niang woke up one after another. After confirming what happened, they couldn't help showing regretful expressions on their faces, and then discovered each other's existence.

Que Niang smiled and said, "Thank you."

Xiang Wanshu said, "You're welcome."

Without more words, the two closed their eyes and began to digest the sentiments in the illusion.

Two days later, they opened their eyes, smiled at each other, and were about to say something to Xiang Wanshu, when they suddenly heard some voices from afar.

One must know that this place is in the depths of the Echo Valley, and the nearest spectators are also extremely far away, and they can hear the sound. It is conceivable that there must be an uproar over there.

Que Niang's heart moved slightly, she got up and fled to the outside of the valley, the rest of the aspirants were reluctant to leave, only Xiang Wanshu thought about it, and chased after him using the heaven and earth escape method.

Outside the Echo Valley, looking at the ascetics on the high platform, especially some familiar but unfamiliar faces, Que Niang and Xiang Wanshu couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

But before they had time to resolve this sense of loss, they were attracted by the pictures in the sky.

The returning dzi embedded in the blue sky mirror is the sun in the illusion.

The image it projects in the sky is that world.

The picture is round, like a window in a nunnery.

There is a cold branch in the round window, and a blue bird is perched on the branch.

In the distance is the imperial palace of Chu State, looming in the wind and snow.

A guard stood outside the pavilion, his clothes covered in snow.

In the snow pavilion, Jing Jiu and Tong Yan sat quietly opposite each other, and a sunspot had already fallen on the chessboard in the middle.

Looking at this scene, Que Niang covered her mouth with her hands, so she didn't cry out, but her eyes were already wet.
