Suddenly, the old man who appeared in the river put one hand against the bow of the boat, and the big boat stopped fiercely. It was as if an iron anchor had suddenly fallen during the voyage, and the whole bow sank a lot. The stern of the ship obviously knocked, and the huge waves surged, and the people on board immediately fell to pieces.

The old man's body also fell, and the river at his feet suddenly stopped flowing.

From a distance, it was like an ant stopped an elephant, but the elephant couldn't move in the ant's hand. After blocking the warship, the old man turned to look at the palace.

Mingming is still far away, but immortal Xiao, who has just arrived at the palace, suddenly seems to have been shot through his heart by a feather arrow. His face suddenly turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat came out of his forehead in a moment. He saw the old man, so without hesitation, he turned and ran away.

He never thought that he would meet this man in Chang'an city.

He never even thought that this man was still alive.

He turned around and left, regardless of his ambition.

Yes, Dean Zhou's guess was right.

He just wants to be the king of the great wheel Ming Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty, which is his ultimate goal. The status of Buddhism in Mengyuan is beyond imagination. The high status of King Dalun Ming in Mengyuan does not need to be imagined at all, because everyone in the world knows that the emperor of Mengyuan is the candidate designated by King Dalun Ming. Every great Khan of Mengyuan must accept the blessing of the Ming king in order to become a real emperor.

When the Ming King reads, he can set up an emperor. A Ming king can also abolish an emperor.

Immortal Xiao admired the position of the Ming king to the extreme. Although he has scolded the Buddha sect and the king of the great wheel Ming more than once. But from the bottom of his heart, he admired the Buddha sect, the Ming king and the supremacy of divine power over imperial power, which was difficult to achieve in the great Sui Dynasty, but it was so natural in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, Xiao Zhen will stand on the side of Prince Yi.

Because he knew that Prince Yi could not be compared with the emperor in terms of talent, wisdom and courage. Prince Yi has some means, but he has no advantage over his majesty. He could not control the current emperor, because the emperor could not allow the era of theocracy to come. But Prince Yi is different. He is not strong enough. Xiao Zhenren firmly believes that it is not too difficult to help Prince Yi kill the emperor with his cultivation and the strength of qingleshan.

Once Prince Yi, who is far inferior to the current emperor, ascends the throne, it is by no means too difficult for immortal Xiao to control the new emperor.

Because of the rebellion, the strength of the great Sui Dynasty was bound to be damaged. If Prince Yi succeeds, Prince Yi will not continue to use his strength before the emperor. After such turbulence, Xiao Zhenren suppressed an emperor who first ascended Dabao with his strong strength. He has this confidence.

The strength of qingleshan has poured out, just waiting for today.

He will spare no effort to support Prince Yi's rebellion and pull the emperor down from his throne. At that time, many ministers in the court will not accept Prince Yi, even if the Empress Dowager is behind. At that time, Prince Yi was even more inseparable from him. Only by relying on his great strength can we suppress those who refuse to obey.

But at the moment that the old man appeared, he threw away all his thoughts in an instant without hesitation. What to be the Ming king of Sui Dynasty, what to create the theocratic era, all put aside.

Only now did he understand why Zhou banchuan said he didn't know the martial arts academy or the emperor at all. If he knew that the old man was still alive, killing him would not help Prince Yi. Similarly, if Prince Yi knew the existence of this man, he would never dare to rebel.

Nothing, nothing.

This is immortal Xiao's state of mind at this time.

Don't forget the wealth and glory you are about to get. It's the foundation of Leshan in Qing Dynasty. No more. The leader of Taoism is the leader of the Jianghu. Don't forget it.

Just run for your life.

He has only one idea now, running for his life.

But as soon as he turned around, the old man blocking the building ship on the river in the distance stretched out his hand and pointed here. It was just a casual finger. I couldn't see any momentum when I shot. But this pointed to immortal Xiao from a distance, which surprised everyone and opened their mouth.

It's at least a mile from the other side of the river to immortal Xiao.

The old man seems to have a random finger a mile away, but he destroys all the places along the way! On a straight line, everything is divided into two. Walls, trees, weeds, houses, and even roads... It's like a huge, unparalleled sword suddenly appeared and directly cut the mile in half.

Immortal Xiao's body was stiff a mile away. He only had time to hold his hands up, and the sword intention had arrived. With a bang, immortal Xiao's whole body was pressed by the sword and sank into the earth. The hard bluestone floor couldn't bear the pressure. With a bang, it broke. Immortal Xiao's pale face and empty hands still couldn't stop his sinking trend.

Soon, he was all pressed into the earth below his waist.

His eyes were wide open as if they were going to protrude. Blood gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth, and his Taoist robe had long been shattered by the sword idea. His arms were covered with blood stains, and fine blood beads kept sliding down his arms. But he clenched his teeth tightly and dared not give up.

Because he knew that once he gave up, there would be only one word.

Die!

A few hundred meters away, Zhou banchuan, who had just caught up with him, changed his face when he saw this scene. He looked at Xiao Zhenren, who was overwhelmed and sinking gradually, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "I thought I had learned at least one or two percent... Now it seems that I didn't even get the fur."

Tai Chi Palace

Cishou Palace

The empress dowager, whose face was full of wrinkles, sat upright in a chair with a dignified face. Several confidants watched anxiously at the door. They seemed very nervous and paced back and forth uneasily.

"Be quiet."

The Empress Dowager in the most grand dress said coldly, but she didn't open her eyes. Her dress is only worn on the most grand festival. For example... The emperor ascended the throne. Even wearing this dress is a hard work. There are too many decorations on it. And the dress is very heavy. The coat is made of gold silk. At her present age, it seems even harder to put on this dress.

So she has been sitting still. Even so, she has been a little tired.

But she is now the empress dowager, the most powerful woman in the harem, and even in the Sui Dynasty. Nowadays, the emperor respected filial piety and obeyed her. Although she was not the emperor's biological mother, Her Majesty's respect for her was not reduced by one point, at least on the surface.

The emperor was meticulous in all matters of etiquette.

At this time, the Empress Dowager is far from as calm as she looks. Although what she said before was short and only four words, it still revealed some anxiety in her heart. She doesn't know what's going on outside the Tai Chi Palace at this time. If her favorite son fails, there is no doubt that she will follow suit.

"Is there any news from the east palace?"

The empress dowager, whose face was full of wrinkles, couldn't help asking, and her voice trembled slightly.

An old palace maid hurriedly replied, "Qin Liuqi took people there. Half an hour ago, his Highness Prince Yi issued a trumpet. Since the trumpet sounded, it is estimated that there is no problem."

The Empress Dowager picked the corner of her eyebrows and sighed in her heart.

"Wrong"

She opened her eyes, glanced at the old maid of honor and said, "if everything goes well, yin'er doesn't need to fire a signal gun at all. As long as the emperor doesn't exist, what does he ask Qin Liuqi to catch the prince and queen? It's estimated that things outside the palace are not smooth. You're ready. If there's anything wrong, you'll run for your lives."

The old maid was stunned, knelt down and said, "the Empress Dowager... We won't go. Life is the Empress Dowager's servant, and death is still your servant."

The Empress Dowager looked stunned. She looked at her confidant and trembled, trying to reach out and help her. But in the end, he just stopped in the middle of the air: "your accomplishments are good, and it's not difficult to escape. There's no need to take risks with a man who is in his infancy like me. What else am I afraid of at this age?"

The old palace maid's eyes were red. She stood up and said resolutely, "empress dowager, wait. I'll go and see the situation in the east palace."

On the whole, the palace city is divided into four parts. Due south is the Imperial Palace, which is where the emperor's harem is located. The west side is yeting palace and the east side is the prince's east palace. In the middle is the Tai Chi palace. The palace is square, and the Taiji palace is in the center of the palace. When building this hall in those years, it took a lot of manpower and material resources. Measured from the palace wall to the Taiji palace, the figures must be the same, and there will be no deviation.

Because the prince is young, both the queen and the prince live in the east palace. The emperor had only one son, and in recent years it seemed that he was more and more not close to women. After he ascended the throne, only the queen gave birth to this child, and none of the other harem concubines gave birth. Therefore, it is conceivable that the only son, the emperor and the queen, will be spoiled.

Early on, the emperor set up a prince.

While the Empress Dowager was talking to the old maid in the palace of mercy and longevity, the empress was also talking to the prince in the east palace. The queen, who is in her thirties but still looks beautiful, sits by the window with young crown prince Yang Chengqian in her arms. The queen was born in a famous family and has read poetry and books since she was a child. But her fate was very bumpy, and she suffered a lot when she was young.

Her father was unruly when he was young, but he was also a loser. The property assigned to her father was ruined in a few years. She was young and watched her father and mother be expelled from the family. Although she was left behind, she was raised by her uncle and aunt by the family. Her childhood grew up in white eyes and scolding, but all this did not affect her character. Although she was silent, she was not lonely and did not see things extreme. Her character was gentle and insightful.

She likes reading. She spent her childhood in books. No playmates, no praise from parents.

Later, the emperor chose a concubine for the fourth prince. He didn't care much about her uncle and aunt, so he sent her too. The fourth Prince's wife died because of dystocia, and the children and adults were not saved. It took many years to choose a new wife for him at the urging of the emperor. But he refused to choose a wife, only a concubine. If an unpopular Prince chooses a concubine, the real big family will not send his own daughter.

But who knows, it was this that made her a good marriage with the emperor.

The fourth prince fell in love with her at first sight. The fourth prince, who did not intend to renew his wife, was unconventional. Regardless of other people's opposition, he resolutely married this woman who was not too noble.

Who would have thought that many years later, the fourth prince became the emperor, and she became the queen of the world.

"Qian'er, are you afraid?"

She whispered to the little boy in her arms.

The little boy's pink and jade carving is very beautiful. Especially a pair of bright eyes, showing a sense of intelligence.

"Mom, I'm a little afraid."

Yang Chengqian pointed out: "why do they fight?"

The queen gently rubbed her son's delicate face with her cheek: "dry son, you can't be afraid. Because you will be an emperor in the future. How can an emperor be afraid?"

Yang Chengqian nodded: "if my mother makes me afraid, I'm not afraid!"

Outside the window

Qin Liuqi looked at his lost men and the middle-aged man standing in front of the prince's bedroom.

"Wu Yi!"

Qin Liuqi asked coldly, "do you want to let it or not?"

Standing barehanded at the door of the bedroom, the middle-aged man in an iconic royal blue robe is Wu Yidao, who lost his heavy fan. He stood there calmly, looked at Qin Liuqi, smiled and said, "are you in a hurry? It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry, you continue."
