Chang'an.

Heavy snow fell. At this time, most of the winter had passed, and there was water on the ground.

The Holy Emperor was sitting in the empty hall, seemingly calm, but his fingers that kept tapping on the dragon chair betrayed his inner anxiety.

"I have gone to the Enshrining Pavilion, and Chi'er has also gone. I wonder if there will be a good result?"

He sat alone on the dragon chair and murmured, looking particularly lonely.

Now that Zhao Qingzhi has gone to the Northern Barbarians, he heard that General Xu Zhenwu's health was deteriorating day by day, so the task of guarding could only be temporarily handed over to Zhao Qingzhi; Fu Ziling and Hao Lianying took a few Open Heaven realms to Manxue Mountain, and they didn't know if they had arrived yet.

; In such a large court, except for the three of them, there is no one with whom one can confide.

It’s not that the pillars of the country such as Guo Jinghui and An Shixiang can’t speak their minds, it’s just that these three old men have worked too much. Since they ascended the throne, they only hope that one day they can save the people in the nine-story tower. Major events in the world,

Whether it was land reform or the reduction of redundant officials, he just knew about it and stamped it. The only thing he intervened in was the sanctions against the Legalists.

After all, according to Legalism, there must be a set of laws for treating emperors, including how long they have to go to court and what to do if they make mistakes.

These are not the reasons for the Holy Emperor to take action against the Legalists. The reason why he personally killed Master Xunfa and others was because these Legalists wanted to allocate resources. How many resources can the emperor use?

The focus was on the common people of the world. What was even more exaggerated was that they did not allow the Holy Emperor to build this nine-story tower at all costs, and they did not advocate squeezing the world for the sake of a woman.

The Holy Emperor is not a person who is extravagant and wasteful. He may not live in a gorgeous palace, but he has to build this nine-story pagoda.

Moreover, the Legalists spoke harshly, that woman is the queen after all. To the whole world, the loss of the queen may not matter; but to his Holy Emperor Xuanyuan Chutian, his queen and their children are his.

Most of the world.

The Holy Emperor knew that these people should not be killed, but they actually wanted to block the last remaining thoughts in the Holy Emperor's heart.

This is unforgivable.

Perhaps out of guilt, the Holy Emperor turned a blind eye and allowed Xun Fa to serve in the Ministry of Punishment and the Department of Bihan at the same time.

Nowadays, everyone who can talk to each other has gone out, and the whole of Chang'an seems extremely empty.

As for the new young eunuch Li Zhongxian, the Holy Emperor asked him to go to the East Palace. During Xuanyuan Chi's absence, he was asked to serve as the prince's companion and supervise the prince's studies.

The Holy Emperor sighed, stood up, and put his hands behind his back.

He looked at the melting snow and the grass trying to get out of the corner.

"Winter is almost over, isn't it?"

Just then he murmured, but saw someone walking in.

Wearing a white robe and straw sandals, he still looks the same, but his face is a little less sharp.

"After being severely injured, you still want to come and talk to me about the Nine Dragon Talisman, right? Because of Ji Qiuyang, you have lost the capital to fight for it."

The Holy Emperor didn't look at him, he just walked out of Qianlong Hall and leaned on the railing to look into the distance.

"Aren't you the same?" The man in white smiled lightly.

The Holy Emperor shook his head.

"We are different. Even if you are not injured, I may not be able to get this Nine Dragon Talisman. For me, it is almost the same, just do your best. But you are different. It seems that you want to use the Nine Dragon Talisman and

My wish to break through the great formation under Chang'an is about to come to nothing! Master." There was a hint of teasing in the Holy Emperor's words.

The person who came was none other than the Master. He was hit by Ji Qiuyang a thousand miles away and has not yet recovered.

The master didn't pay attention to the teasing in his words, and just said lightly: "I plan to go to Manxue Mountain."

Although the Holy Emperor and his master fought openly and secretly in the court, he had to admit that with his master's presence, the world was much more stable.

"Are you going to die? If you are seriously injured, I'm afraid you are not an opponent like Qilin or Soaring Snake. Although you can't break through, it's better to be alive."

Hearing the Holy Emperor's words, the Master smiled lightly and said, "Junior went to Manxue Mountain, you should definitely go and see it."

When the Holy Emperor heard this, he turned his head suddenly and even grabbed the master's skirt.

"You still want to kill Xu Chang'an? Why did you make that prophecy? I don't know who made that prophecy? It was listening to your nonsense that made my brother feel cold again and again. You even plotted against Xu

Chang'an!"

The Holy Emperor rarely loses his composure like this, but whenever he thinks about what happened back then, he can't control himself.

The Master pulled away the Holy Emperor's hand, then looked into his eyes and said: "You know, I'm not doing this for myself! I'd rather believe it than not! Besides, this prophecy doesn't exist in Tianji Pavilion.

Overthrow! I promised my disciple that I would give Xu Changan a chance. Don’t worry, as long as Xu Changan does not become a demon further and does not take refuge in the demon clan, I will not take action against him for the time being!"

Upon hearing this, Holy Emperor Fang let go of his hand.

"I just came to say goodbye to you. Remember, if I die, no matter what method you use, you must tie up my great disciple in Chang'an. This is a piece of advice I give you for the sake of the whole world!"

After saying this, the master turned and left.

"Why do you bother? It's very likely that you will be killed by the demon clan now."

When the master heard this, he smiled faintly, and the figure of the young master flashed in his mind.

He never thought that the disciple he accepted would one day slowly change him.

"I have always believed in you, there is a chance to break through Kaitian!"

The Master ignored the Holy Emperor, but stopped for a moment because of these words. Then, he seemed to sigh and continued walking forward.

"Actually, you are doing it for yourself! You were just a poor man at the beginning, so you thought about working hard all the time. You wanted to be the savior of the whole world. You hope that the people will build a temple for you and that you will be famous forever! I hope that you can help those who looked down on you at the beginning.

It’s a slap in the face, but after all, it’s all for yourself. You always want to prove, want to prove that you can support the world!”

The Holy Emperor suddenly felt inexplicably reluctant and spoke provocatively.

Although this is to stimulate the Master not to go to the Snowy Mountain, there is also some truth in it, the truth in his heart.

When the master heard this, he stopped again and his body kept trembling.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter!"

The Master calmed down quickly and left the palace.

As soon as the Master left, a man dressed as a farmer appeared next to the Holy Emperor.

He carried a world-famous knife on his waist, but recently this knife was used to chop firewood.

"You also heard that your master has decided to leave. Otherwise..."

When Qi Fengjia heard the Holy Emperor's words, his face was tangled, and then he could only close his eyes and stretched out his hand to stop the Holy Emperor's words.

He took out a few candies from his arms and handed them to the Holy Emperor. These candies were not very high-end and could be sold on any street with a candy shop in Chang'an.

But the Holy Emperor still took the candy and tore off the wrapper.

When Xuanyuan Chi was about to be born, he also prepared this kind of candy.

He put the candy in his mouth and stopped trying to persuade Qi Fengjia, because the candy explained the reason.

"Congratulations, how long will it take?"

Qi Fengjia lay on the railing and looked into the distance.

"More than a month, I hope you can understand me. Shi Antian should have gone to Manxue Mountain, and Cen Xuebai has also gone, so nothing should happen." Qi Fengjia lowered his head. Below him was the pool, which was covered with a layer of ice.

The ice does not hinder the fish from swimming in the pond, but they occasionally stick their heads out of the ice to take a breath.

"Have you thought of a name?" A smile appeared on the Holy Emperor's face, as if this happiness had infected him, or perhaps Qi Fengjia's happiness reminded him of his happiness back then.

"No, but I hope to have a daughter. Although we are both disciples of Confucius Temple, my junior brother is much more educated than me. I wonder if he has a good suggestion?"

When it came to children, the Holy Emperor also relaxed a little, and then continued: "What's wrong with having a baby?"

Qi Fengjia turned his head, looked at the Holy Emperor seriously and said: "I have a son who is as naughty as Xuanyuan Chi. I don't have the patience to make him wake up. If the old man hadn't warned me not to meddle in other people's business, you would have been outside Chang'an City.

When the time comes, I will take action."

Qi Fengjia suddenly talked about what happened outside Chang'an City, that is, when Xuanyuan Chi was bewitched and almost killed his father and brother.

The Holy Emperor smiled faintly. In fact, it was the Master who deliberately delayed it and he knew it, but it was over.

Besides, after that experience, his son changed.

"Okay, it's enough to talk to you so much. I have to go home and cook." After that, Qi Fengjia was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." The Holy Emperor suddenly said.

Qi Fengjia turned his head and looked at the Holy Emperor.

The Holy Emperor took the candy wrapper he had just peeled off and shook it towards Qi Fengjia and said, "This candy is pretty good. Can you send me some when you have time?"

Qi Fengjia was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"good!"

…

At the foot of the snow-covered mountain, eight people arrived in front of the eldest prince's tent.

The eldest prince looked at them and just sighed:

"Actually, I still hope you will think it over carefully. After all, this mountain is full of dangers. Besides, many elders will give the top priority to protecting Xu Changan."

The eight people didn't waste any time, turned around and left. Not long after, they came over carrying some animal carcasses.
