Chapter 264

(it's a new week. Are you ready for the red ticket? Come on, hero, fire at me.)

The old lame man glanced at the landlady, remained silent for a while and said softly, "in fact, I envy you very much. In those years, you could follow the Lord westward."

"Envy?"

The landlady was stunned and shook her head: "If you see your friends leave you every day, maybe you won't envy me. Most of the hundreds of people who traveled to the West didn't even remember their appearance, and I didn't know the names of more than 70 people. But at that time, they were my friends and could give their backs to them. The original strangers became people who shared life and death, and then lived I'm afraid it's more painful than the dead. "

She paused and said, "my man doesn't want to think about the past and doesn't allow me to think about it."

The old cripple didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, he smiled and turned off the topic: "Fang Xie is looking for you. Please follow the tea move. Does he have any plans?"

"He's going to let me live"

The landlady smiled and said: "That little guy thinks he's very smart... I've been busy these days. I live in Prince Yi's residence. In fact, I've been secretly checking the story of the prince's Westward Journey in those years. I always doubt that it was not so easy. At that time, the prince left Chang'an City in a hurry because of Li Yuanshan's urgent report. After so many years, I can't help thinking about the difficulties of that year Is it true that the Mongolian Yuan people intend to assassinate the emperor? "

"You didn't experience that fight, and we didn't notice anything strange at that time. But when I think about it later, I feel something wrong. Meng Yuan's reaction at that time seemed very fierce and even more angry than us. At that time, we thought it was because of their anger after their conspiracy was discovered. Anyway, it was murder. We were red eyed later. We had the advantage , so it was very pleasant to kill at first. Later, Mengyuan kept coming, and our casualties became more and more serious. "

"Later, I looked back carefully and found a lot of doubts."

The proprietress said, "first, when I was traveling westward, none of the Mengyuan practitioners I met at first had strong strength. On the contrary, the Buddhists who came later had good accomplishments. Second, it was discovered by the military, but until the end, the military did not participate. Third, who benefited the most from the prince's westward journey?"

The old lame man thought carefully and replied, "you mean that Meng Yuan and the LORD were cheated?"

The landlady nodded: "When Fang Xie told me that Prince Yi was going to turn around, I finally understood. This may have been a fraud from beginning to end. When the prince left Chang'an City, Prince Yi was the one who benefited the most. If he really had a rebellious heart, who was the one he feared most? It was not his majesty, but the prince! Only when the prince left Chang'an, could he rest assured and boldly plan and prepare... Although I don't know why he put it off until today, but I'm sure it has something to do with Prince Yi. "

The old cripple was stunned and asked, "that's why Fang Xie asked you to follow the tea move?"

The landlady smiled: "he was afraid that I would go directly to Prince Yi."

She straightened out the hair hanging from her forehead: "that little guy knows my temper, so he begged me to follow the people you recruit with red tea. He also came up with a good reason. I think it's ridiculous."

"For what reason?"

"He said that the stage of the tea move is the largest, and the performance is the closest place to the emperor. As Prince Yi, of course, it won't be far from the emperor. He said that if you want to do it, it's best to follow the tea move, and the tea moves are all women, which can also cover your identity."

The old cripple said, "that's right."

The landlady said with a smile, "you are really stupid. If Prince Yi really plans to rebel today, will he sit with the emperor foolishly? If he will rebel today, he will certainly not appear at the troop dispatch ceremony. Fang Xie said this, just because he doesn't want me to break through and die myself."

The old cripple was stunned and nodded immediately.

"Why did you say this to me?"

Asked the old cripple.

The landlady smiled and said, "I told you this to tell you why I came. I also want you to know why I gave you the last pot of pear blossom wine."

The old cripple's face changed fiercely: "are you going to..."

"Yes!"

The landlady said seriously: "If Prince Yi is really rebellious, he must stay in the palace and command the overall situation! If he wants to kill the emperor, he must send all his experts out. Now the defense in Prince Yi's palace must be the lowest. If I don't go at this time, I will regret it later. I want to ask him if he set up a game when the prince went west. I have to discuss with him about hundreds of lives lost in the northwest ！”

As soon as this sentence was finished, the figure of the landlady suddenly flew up and floated away from the carriage.

"Don't lose my pear blossom wine. If I can't die, I have to find you to come back!"

The old lame man watched the boss's wife leave, but he couldn't stop it. Although his cultivation is better than the boss's wife, can a nine grade expert easily stop him if he wants to leave on purpose? Moreover, today is too important. If he leaves the red tea move, who knows if there will be any accident.

So he's in pain.

At this time, the curtain of the car in front was lifted, and aunt Xi waved to the old cripple. The old lame man flashed and had reached the carriage in front of him.

"Lord Luo, go."

Xi thrush smiled and said, "you regretted that you didn't follow the Lord westward for more than ten years. If you don't ask Prince Yi today, you will regret the rest of your life. The tea move has tied you up for more than ten years, and you can't let go of your hands and feet to do what you want to do. Today is the time to end all this. You don't have to worry about the tea move."

The old cripple's nose was sour and handed the pot of pear blossom wine to Xi thrush: "give it to Fang Xie, that smelly boy. If Du Hongxian and I can't come back, let him kill the dog for Su!"

Xi thrush took the wine pot and nodded slowly.

The old cripple suddenly laughed and flew out like an eagle. Laughter floats in the sky, especially far away. At this moment, he was like a giant free from shackles, so heroic and free. The rest thrush looked at the disappearing figure, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

"I should have let you go. I'm just worried that you'll die... Lord Luo, take care!"

……

……

The emperor's guard of honor was already ready, and a large group of people were waiting in front of the main hall of the Tai Chi palace. The huge imperial chariot was pulled by eighteen BMW, three meters high. Around the imperial chariot were 500 solemn forbidden troops. The chariot was very large, and there were eight guards standing at the four corners. Although the eight men were wearing flying fish robes from the inner guard office, they were not from the inner guard office at all.

In front of the forbidden army are flying fish robes and golden melon warriors. Behind them were a large number of eunuchs and palace maids. At the back, there are 108 majestic knights.

All civil and military officials are waiting at the gate of Taiji palace, separated into two columns. The adults who were left by the emperor last night looked at each other, and their faces were particularly ugly. Perhaps they have a hunch that their life is coming to an end. But at this moment, they can only let fate pull them forward.

The emperor changed into a grand imperial dress, which is a very cumbersome thing just to wear. Several palace maids carefully sorted it out for fear of making another mistake. Not long ago, the emperor ordered to kill a palace maid with rough hands and feet. Because she dropped her Majesty's crown on the ground. Even if she was killed by a stick, no one spoke for her. Although it is worthy of sympathy, I can't find out what's wrong with the emperor's punishment.

Therefore, these palace maids were extremely careful, lest they become the second person to be killed by the staff. They didn't even dare to look up at the emperor's face, let alone the white hair on the emperor's temples.

"Su Buwei..."

The emperor opened his arms and asked the maids to fasten their belts: "have all the officials arrived?"

Su Buwei bowed his head and said, "back to your majesty, we are all here. We are waiting outside the palace gate, and the Royal chariot is ready."

The emperor said, "send someone to tell the Empress Dowager that I'm going to preside over the military dispatch ceremony today, so I won't go to greet her. I'll visit her after I come back from the military dispatch ceremony."

Su Buwei answered, called a small eunuch and ordered a few words.

"Is Prince Yi here?"

Asked the emperor.

Su Buwei shook his head: "not yet, but he sent a steward to say that Prince Yi is preparing a gift for his majesty and will arrive later."

The emperor's eyes flashed a trace of Sen Han. Well, he smiled and said, "let the steward answer Prince Yi and say I'm waiting for Prince Yi's gift. On such an important day, Prince Yi's gift should be taken."

After the imperial clothes were dressed neatly, the emperor put on the crown himself. He went to the bronze mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, carefully arranged his clothes and smiled: "Su Buwei, do you think my crown is beautiful?"

Su Buwei bowed his head and said, "it's most suitable to wear it on your Majesty's head."

The emperor laughed and strode out of the East warm Pavilion.

Su Buwei followed the emperor out. When he came to the door, he shouted, "drive!"

The soldiers of the forbidden army who were ready shouted neatly, and then knelt down neatly. The emperor strode to the imperial chariot along the road paved with bluestone slabs. At this moment, the confidence on his face was particularly clear.

……

……

Fang Xie watched the emperor set foot on the imperial chariot, watched the emperor carefully comb and hide in the crown, but still showed a little white hair, and suddenly felt a kind of sadness in his heart. He looked back at the Shen Qing fan and Mu Xiao waist standing beside him. The two women behind him nodded to him at the same time.

Fang Xie smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After waiting so long, I finally arrived.

The flying fish robe in front of the Royal chariot sounded the Gong, and the golden melon warrior behind raised the guard of honor. The team started slowly and walked along the main road of Taiji palace to the gate. When the Gong rang, all the officials outside the palace knelt down. After the emperor's chariot left the palace gate, all officials stood up and joined the team. Hundreds of grown-ups dressed in various colors of official clothes filed in, which looked spectacular.

Knowing that today is a big day, the people got up early and stood on both sides of the street waiting. The huge and flat square is full of people. The Yamen servicemen of Chang'an Prefecture and the soldiers of Zuo Yiwei are patrolling along the way. More than a dozen platforms have been built on the square, which are prepared for various song and dance houses.

One of the highest and largest, of course, belongs to the tea trick.

The stage of the red tea move is facing the general stage that has been built two days ago. At that time, the emperor and important officials sitting on the general stage can most intuitively see the performance of the red tea move. There is a passage about 50 meters wide specially reserved between the red tea recruit and the point general stage. At that time, the army will pass through this passage and accept the emperor's review.

About three miles away from the square, the zuowuwei people and horses participating in the review today are ready to go. This is a rare event that the Sixth Army of the emperor set out to fight in the founding of the Sui Dynasty for so many years, so the soldiers and generals of Zuo Wuwei are also a little excited and nervous. Yu manlou, a general of zuowuwei who was riding on a white horse, looked back at his soldiers with a dignified face.

He doesn't know what will happen today.

But he knew that he had to walk past his majesty with men and horses today.

Yu manlou, who had not fought for a long time, took a long breath and raised his arm high.

"Show the flag!"

With the order, Zuo Wuwei's big flag Hula suddenly stood up, and the huge flag fluttered in the wind.
