Chapter 237: The Bad News About My Father-in-Law, Mr. Qi Has Been on a Good Journey, and the Holy Emperor Will Come to Court Again and Laugh It Off?

Under the plaque of "Chongwen".

The royal family's staff had already left the scene, but the prince's party were all looking at this distinguished man who had just come out of seclusion.

Lu Mingyuan has become the backbone of everyone.

With him as the main leader, an entire force has been built.

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Lu Mingyuan noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him. It was very quiet, and everyone was silent.

Especially Qi Muxue, whose haggard and sad face didn't look good.

"Why aren't you talking?"

Lu Mingyuan frowned, broke the silence, and asked.

Sui Yuqing was the first to stand up and whispered: "Seven days ago, Mr. Qi died in Tianxuan Continent, and his coffin is on the way back."

After Lu Mingyuan was startled for a moment, his eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at Fairy Cihang and said in a deep voice: "There are some things you should not say nonsense. If you don't see me in person, the rumors of the death of a sage are enough to shake the world."

This sentence sounded so unreal to his ears.

Qi Xingyan has practiced for nearly a hundred years. In the past sixty years, he has reached the eleventh level of Confucianism and became the mountain chief of Shengjing Academy. He has a very rich accumulation.

When Xinxue was born, Qi Xingyan broke through and became a sage in the Twelve Realms. After that, he became more and more powerful and became one of the top experts in Confucianism and Taoism.

Moreover, Qi Xingyan is also a direct descendant of the literary sage lineage. He has a good fortune in Confucianism and Taoism. Even if he encounters an invincible and powerful enemy, he should not have a problem in protecting himself.

How could a sage die so easily? The monks from the three religions were sitting together in Tianxuan and guarding the borders. Is it all just decoration?

Qi Muxue lowered her head slightly, her voice was a little low, and she said with a dull expression:

"My father died on the front line of Tianxuanzhou. He died for his country in order to cover the retreat of the people in a city."

After saying that, she didn't seem to get rid of the shocking news, her eyes were dull.

Sui Yuqing witnessed with his own eyes how the Crown Prince in front of him turned into a sculpture.

She observed carefully, and she didn't know how much anger was hidden under this visible calm.

"When did this happen?" Lu Mingyuan asked immediately with heavy eyes.

Qi Muxue said with a gloomy look, "Just three days ago."

"With Mr. Yue-in's planning and strength, who can kill him?" Lu Mingyuan asked.

Qi Muxue lowered her head even lower, her eyes began to become moist, and said, "It's Zhongsheng Liu Zun, one of the great underworld gods."

Lu Mingyuan frowned slightly. He did not expect that this matter was actually done by Liu Zun. After all, he had experienced the world of scrolls and knew that Liu Zun's temple was in the Central Region. His strength was among the top three of the five gods and should not be underestimated.

At the same time, he also attacked him secretly in his first life.

This grudge cannot be forgotten.

In the world of Shengming, those who have reached the tenth realm can be called Demon Lords. Above this, there are also higher-ranking gods with more respectable status.

According to Lu Mingyuan's judgment, Liu Zun's strength should be in the fourteenth realm.

Anyone whose strength reaches the upper third level, even the thirteenth level, will often have a great reputation in all the worlds.

However, even if he encountered Liu Zun from the Vampire Clan and relied on Xiongguan, Qi Xingyan should have had a chance to escape. Why did he die in order to cover the retreat of the people?

Isn't that a little too hasty?

"Not only Father, the Original Lady and the Five Thunder Immortals have already fought against the Lord of the Underworld, and they have also suffered varying degrees of injuries. The battle was originally going well, but the monks at the border, Father, and the others have already waited for the Dao Alliance They rushed to help, but when they were retreating, an accident happened." Qi Muxue couldn't help crying in a low voice.

Qi Xingyan was her biological father. She didn't have many relatives in the entire family. She hadn't seen him for several months during the war, but she had already lost her father. How could she not feel sad.

Lu Mingyuan was shocked. He had understood that it was not Qi Xingyan who took the initiative to provoke the Shengming army, but someone led others to destroy the army that Qi Xingyan had retreated from.

Lu Mingyuan asked in a deep voice: "What kind of accident can make a saint fall?"

"That's because the underworld vampire army broke through the border, invaded Great Yan from other Great Walls, and used the people of a city as a bargaining chip to make the imperial army retreat. But my father, considering the overall situation, went to bear all this alone and negotiate alone." Qi Muxue said with sad eyes.

The relationship between Confucianism and Taoism and the imperial court was so deep that both prospered and suffered.

As a sage, Qi Xingyan could not sit back and watch the innocent people die tragically.

The vampire demon just happened to grasp his weak spot like this.

A large army of the Blood Clan quietly sneaked into the world of Middle-earth and launched an attack on the retreating border army. This should be something that Qi Xingyan and the court did not expect at all. It was too late to rescue them.

After all, vampires are the best at disguise. As long as they consume the other person's blood, they can turn into the other person's appearance, without the gods or ghosts knowing it. Without the special means of the Taoist sect, it would be difficult for a fifth-level monk to see the clues.

Since even Qi Xingyan was dead, most of Xuanzhou's territory that day undoubtedly fell into Sheng Ming's hands.

"The Blood Tribe, headed by Liu Zun, dispatched thousands of Blood Tribe monks, plus hundreds of fifth-grade experts. Although Dayan has tens of thousands of troops, even if they fight desperately to resist, most of them are of low strength, how can they withstand it.

"Old Mr. Qi had the opportunity to retreat, but he chose to live and die with the people of the city and use his life to protect the right path of the world. This represents the spirit of Confucianism and Taoism. No matter what, he will never let hundreds of thousands of lives fall into the underworld. in the hands.”

"The two coalition forces got the news and came to help. The deputy leader Wu Lei Shangxian at the front learned the news from the rear and wanted to help, but failed to arrive in time and was guarded by Liu Zun. The two sides were greatly shocked. After taking action, Liu Zun was surrounded and killed by many high-ranking third-level masters of the human race. Among them, a swordsman from the Sword Palace cut off a section of Liu Zun's wings, and his whereabouts are now unknown. "

"In a short period of time, the seven states and thirteen counties turned into a living hell. Wherever the vampire army passed, only bones were left everywhere. My father fought with blood, but was unable to save himself. He exhausted all his righteousness and held on until the human reinforcements arrived. , but he was sitting at the gate of the city, and his body was destroyed by Liu Zun. "

As Qi Muxue narrated, she cried loudly and tears kept flowing down.

By this time, her emotions were completely out of control, and her father's death was so tragic that she could not accept it.

Lu Mingyuan's heart was also greatly shaken, and he felt like he was suffocating. He clenched his fists, his joints cracked, and there was a cold murderous intent surging in his eyes.

If Qi Xingyan were a person, he would not need to care about the ethics of honor and disgrace, benevolence and morality, or care about the life and death of the people. Qi Xingyan could just draw the pen to guide the celestial phenomena, write ten big characters, and counterattack before death, he could destroy an army of 100,000 people, which is absolutely shocking.

But he didn't choose to do this.

Instead, he chose to protect the people of one side and resisted the power of the god with his own body.

In Lu Mingyuan's mind, Qi Xingyan was a very elegant and easy-going person, very friendly and patient with others, and would not say he looked down on anyone.

Even a disciple from a poor family like Chen Ke was treated kindly.

Throughout his life, he devoted himself to serving the country and the people without any stain.

Facing the demon, he is upright, hates evil as much as he hates it, and can't rub any sand out of his eyes.

I can vaguely remember when I was in the cold palace.

He received a lot of help from Qi Xingyan. Whenever he was in crisis, his grandfather and father-in-law were secretly helping him.

No matter how many tricks Jian Taisi made, no matter how loud the insults from the court were, he would still be able to suppress them all by himself.

Let me ask, why should we worry about the world's worries first and rejoice after the world's happiness?

This is it.

I still remember that Mr. Qi once taught everyone what it means to be a saint and what kind of person can become a saint in the Yangxin Study Room in the palace.

He once said that if you are in trouble and you save others, you will die. In such a situation, a gentleman should put his own safety first.

Now, he himself died to protect the people of a city, showing his image as a saint to the fullest.

Thinking that the clean and honest old man had died and turned into bones, Lu Mingyuan was in a daze for a moment, and his eyes became moist unconsciously.

War is cruel and merciless after all. Maybe one day, the relatives and familiar friends around you will die in battle.

In a daze, Lu Mingyuan discovered the world in front of him.

It's not a picture scroll world.

This is reality, there is no reincarnation for him to speak of.

To die is to really die.

There will never be a chance to do it again.

I don’t know who will die next?

Seeing Qi Muxue sobbing, Lu Mingyuan felt very uncomfortable. He knew that Qi Muxue must have been extremely depressed these days.

During these nine days of waiting, she could not fall.

Because he is still in the picture scroll world, his life and death are unknown.

With Qi Muxue's identity, it was impossible for her to show such a fragile side in the capital. Now that she saw Lu Mingyuan walking out of the picture scroll world unharmed, she was able to release all her suppressed grief without any worries.

He was the only one facing it.

It can be seen that Lu Mingyuan has a special place in her heart.

"My current strength is far from enough to protect the people and things I care about. I need to become stronger. If I don't reach the Fourteenth Realm, I will eventually become an ant."

Lu Mingyuan looked up at the sky and thought to himself.

After experiencing nine reincarnations in the world of Tujuan, he knew many things, as well as things he had never thought of before.

His Taoist heart became stronger and stronger.

As time goes by, the five-hundred-year cycle of destiny changes is coming, and the situation in the world of Middle-earth will only become more and more serious. Faced with the raging attacks of the two worlds, how long can the human race withstand it?

No one can tell.

The peace in front of us was completely earned by thousands of seniors with their flesh and blood.

Lu Mingyuan shook his head slightly and put aside many distracting thoughts. He looked at Qi Muxue and said softly: "Sir, he died as a martyr, and his righteousness will last forever. He can sing and cry. We should inherit his legacy, turn grief into strength, and fight against the Holy Ming world to the end. We must not let his old man’s blood be shed in vain.”

While talking, Lu Mingyuan walked up to Qi Muxue, smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and felt pity in his heart. He couldn't help but stretched out a hand, twisted his sleeve, and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.

Recalling the first time the two met on the Lantern Festival, Qi Muxue was a high-ranking and talented woman, like a fairy above the nine heavens, while he was the prince imprisoned in the cold palace. How could Lu Mingyuan dare to feel the slightest blasphemy? .

Times have changed, and now, the name of Prince Dayan has shocked the whole country. Who in the entire Imperial Capital is not afraid? Qi Muxue actually looked quite delicate in his eyes.

Lu Mingyuan was determined to break this sad situation and cheer up again.

He looked at Su Youhuai and said calmly:

"Other than that, any other news?"

Su Youhuai's majestic face hesitated for a moment and said: "In addition, during the days when His Highness was away, His Majesty's health has improved, and he has returned to the court to face the aggressive Holy and Underworld army. Your Majesty, you have the power to supervise the country. , has been taken back by the Holy One.”

"The Holy Lord Returns to the Court"

Lu Mingyuan murmured softly: "You can't hold it anymore anymore, right?"

The scene predicted by the hexagram will eventually happen.

Father has already started to take action.

Before that, he must integrate the power of the three religions as soon as possible.

"Pass my order and drive to the East Palace!"

Lu Mingyuan waved his hand and prepared to return to the East Palace first.

In the sedan chair.

Lu Mingyuan chose to sit in a sedan with Yun Qinghe, and the others sat in another.

Judging from Yun Qinghe's appearance, she should have integrated all the memories and insights from her first life and returned to her peak state. She is still sitting cross-legged on the ground, but there is a fierce aura exuding from her body.

Now that she has stepped out of the picture scroll world, she is a completely different person.

It is no longer as weak as the picture scroll world.

With Lu Mingyuan's help, Yun Qinghe perfected his Taoist heart and became stronger.

But at the same time.

The memories of everything that happened in the Tujuan world are also lingering in her mind.

Every scene the two of them spent together, every word they said.

Yun Qinghe's eyes were fixed on Lu Mingyuan. In the depths of his pupils, a complex expression flashed past, and he asked, "Do you have anything to say to me when you come here?"

Lu Mingyuan raised his head, met Yun Qinghe's gaze, and smiled: "I just want to ask, what is the relationship between you and me now?"

"What do you think the relationship is?"

Yun Qinghe unnaturally avoided his gaze and pretended not to care.

"Are you the master and I am the disciple? Or are you the disciple and I am the master?"

"So this is what you were referring to."

Unnoticeable disappointment flashed across Yun Qinghe's eyes.

"The Picture Scroll World is a Picture Scroll World after all. Everything that happens in it is false. You know it and I know it too."

"So, we'd better not confuse these memories. Some things are better kept deep in our hearts. Now is not the time to talk about these things. You should like Princess Mu Xue very much, and with the Holy Emperor coming to court again, you will be under a lot of pressure, right? ”

"That's true."

Yun Qinghe said in a relaxed tone: "In this case, don't let her down, and don't let the whole situation end up in the worst place."

Lu Mingyuan smiled and said: "The fact that you can think like this and not be affected by the world of picture scrolls means that you have really come out. I am very happy."

In this regard, Yun Qinghe's expression was very calm.

Everything that happened in Tujuan World was so real, and Lu Mingyuan had done so many things for her.

How could she really laugh it off.
