The next day, I gave the map to Bao Zheng. I thought that he would be able to see through me, but in the end, he threw me the words "I'm not sure". I was depressed, and couldn't be bothered to care about it anymore. My predecessor.
"Dragon guard, quickly go and change into your court uniform and enter the palace." Bao Zheng said to me after receiving the young eunuch's secret decree.
I curled my lips. I really didn't want to go, but there was nothing I could do. He went back to change his clothes, and came out to see that Zhan Zhao and Bao Zheng were already fully dressed and waiting for him. Looking at Zhan Zhao's handsome face, my heart hurts. It was like he was just like this, taking him far away, but history cannot be changed.
"What is it? Why are you looking at me like that? " Zhan Zhao laughed gently, just like the spring wind blowing across his face.
I dejectedly smiled. "It's nothing. There are some matters …." "You can't say it, but you can't say it either …"
Bao Zheng's eyes flashed, and said: "Let's go."
Along the way, the three of them were silent as they stood at the entrance of the palace. I hadn't taken a step forward for a long time because I knew that this step would be the beginning of Zhan Zhao's nightmare …
"Let's go. No matter what awaits me, I will accept it." Zhan Zhao smiled indifferently, but it made me feel that his entire body was giving off sadness.
When he saw the emperor in the royal study, he looked at the three of us and said: "Western Xia is already preparing to start a war, now we order three blade guards, Zhan Zhao and the fourth chief constable, Long Fei, to the borders to help."
"This official shall obey." Zhan Zhao and I replied.
The emperor nodded. "Actually, the two of you don't need to go to war. You only need to investigate the cause of death of the Princess of Western Xia in secret."
I took a step forward and asked, "Your Majesty, can I have a Gold Medallion of Immunity?"
The Emperor glanced at me and said, "Do you still need that? Even if I want to kill you, you won't die. " His words were filled with ridicule.
I clenched my teeth and kneeled on the floor. "Your Majesty, please bestow a Gold Medallion of Immunity."
My kneeling scared the three of them. The Emperor frowned. "You have never knelt before me. What has made you do this?"
I raised my head and looked into his eyes. "In terms of status, you and I are of equal status. In terms of seniority, you are over 900 years older than me." This kowtow is not a kowtow, I beg you, please give me the golden medal of life. "
Hearing my words, the Emperor's face turned serious. He was very smart, so he didn't question me further. He wrote a death-saving secret edict and threw it to me. "Let's go."
I opened the imperial edict and read, "One man must not die." Fortunately, no name was mentioned.
After returning to the Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao asked me: "Is this Gold Medallion for Life and Death very important? I have never seen you kneel before."
I bitterly smiled. "It's very important that you understand it one day." "There are a lot of things that cannot be changed. I can't accept it. I have to do something, try my best, and in the end, I won't feel that bad."
Zhan Zhao's eyes flickered, gently hugging me for a moment, before he turned around and left. Bao Zheng sighed and said: "Bring Heng Ai along, its ability is powerful and will ensure your safety."
I shook my head. "Heng Ai, you should stay by your side. Your life is more important than ours." I didn't wait for him to speak.
When she returned to her room and saw Nuo Nuo, she hugged the black cat and said indifferently: "This is your life, and also his life, do as you wish. Actually, from the moment you arrived, history had already changed. From that moment onwards, one line was split into two parts. One line has no history of your existence, while the other line has a history of your involvement. "
I was a little confused. "How about I destroy Xi Xia now?"
Nuo Nuo smiled faintly and said: "Even though it's another history, there shouldn't be too big of a difference, because it's hard to say when these two lines will intersect."
I threw my body onto the ground and said dejectedly, "I'm going to war. It's so boring."
Nuo Nuo glanced at me and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die here, but I won't go to the battlefield."
I lazily replied, "Forget it, I know that I won't die. This small matter is nothing to me." Don't think too much into it. I'll go find someone to chat with. If anyone comes looking for me, just say that the nameless monument outside the city is looking for me. "
I don't know why, but I thought of Pang Tong, this hero that can shake the battlefield. The Yang family general and the Yue family army were both gods of the battlefield, but unfortunately, none of them had a good ending. Forget it, since ancient times, heroes have always been lonely …
The flowers in front of Pang Tong's grave were still as fresh as ever. I unsealed the wine jar and poured half of it down. He picked up another jar and opened it for drinking. He leaned on the tombstone as he sat down and laughed: "Pang Tong, oh Pang Tong, it would be great if you were still alive. Hehe … "Remember, before you get reborn, don't drink Grandma Meng's Soup. Come find me in the northeast a thousand years from now. I'll treat you to pork stew with vermicelli …"
I drank my wine and blabbered on and on until I was completely drunk.
In his dream …
"Hey, there's going to be a war and you're drinking so much." Pang Tong did not wear any armor, his white robe fluttered like a fairy.
I looked at him and smiled. "Oh, you've become a deity?"
Pang Tong glanced at me and said, "How is that an immortal? It's just a ghost. "
I rolled my eyes. "Why not reincarnate?"
Pang Tong laughed: "Grandma Meng's soup is too bitter, I didn't want to drink it, so I got into a fight. In the end, I was forbidden to enter the Underworld.
I smiled and looked at him with contempt. "Come, enter my body. My body already has five souls inside it. I'm not afraid of having another one."
Pang Tong hugged me from the back. His body was even stronger than Zhan Zhao's. Shi Tian and the Phantom Shadow have never come looking for me, I wonder if this Pang Tong will do the same, or if he will be able to control my body like the Dragon King?
I didn't know how I got back, but when I woke up and saw Zhang Long in the courtyard, I asked, "Big Brother Zhang, how did I get back?"
Zhang Long saw me and smirked: "Master Zhan carried you back. You're so drunk, you've been asleep for three days."
I was startled, and actually slept for three days. Then, has Zhan Zhao already left?
Zhang Long said: "He went to the palace with the Package Master. I heard that the Qing Province is under siege and is in imminent danger."
The battle in the Qing Province started with the flames of war with the Western Xia. After Li Yuanhao and a hundred thousand elite soldiers heavily injured the Northern Song Army, there was also a large-scale war. A year later, the Western Xia was pressured by Mongolia and came to negotiate an end of the war.
Zhang Long saw that my expression was strange, and carefully asked: "Is Master Long not feeling well?"
I smiled sorrowfully. "If I told you that the nightmare is about to begin, would you believe me?"
Zhang Long was stunned. "Ah?"
At the door, that red figure was slowly approaching. What could I do? Can I still protect you? My Cat...
