Chapter 35 The Great Gift of Xijue
"Bang bang"
The sound of cold weapons kept ringing throughout the courtyard. [-]
Qin Susu was obviously struggling to hold Qin Xiaobao in her arms, and she could no longer gain the upper hand.
It wasn't until someone from the surrounding guards put a knife on her neck that Qin Susu stopped.
Seeing Qin Susu being captured, Baili Cangming's eyes flashed with cold light, and then he slowly stepped forward.
Approaching Qin Susu, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, "I said, this is my territory——"
"So you can do whatever you want?" There was a sneer in the cold eyes, and Qin Susu rewarded her without hesitation.
Baili Cangming's expression changed slightly, but he asked again and again, "Qin Susu, have you thought about those two choices?"
Qin Susu suddenly laughed out loud, "When I was besieged last time, Prince Ming should have understood the gap between himself and his subordinates. It seems that I really overestimated you." Qin Susu continued with a dark look in his eyes.
He said, "Prince Ming, you should know that at this time, I am no longer the same person as before. Threatening? Oh, I'm sorry, I have stopped taking this trick!"
An invisible momentum spread around her body, and then, a powerful internal force rushed out from Qin Susu's body, which directly shook away the knives around her. There was a wind blowing, but everyone was a little unable to open their eyes.
Open your eyes.
"Prince Ming, I hope you can be smarter next time -" the voice rang in the sky above Prince Ming's Mansion.
The wind dispersed, and the remaining people in front of me had long since disappeared.
Baili Cangming stood on the spot, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking into the distance, with a faint arc at the corner of his mouth.
"Qin Susu, I said, you can never escape from me."
Qin Susu took Qin Xiaobao until they reached a distance and then stopped.
"What's going on?" After stopping, Qin Susu put down Qin Xiaobao, turned around, and looked at him coldly.
"Mother--" Qin Xiaobao murmured, "Xiaobao is too careless."
He suddenly didn't want to tell his mother that it was that scumbag prince who deceived him. The relationship between them was indeed not good and indeed needed to be eased.
"What exactly is going on?" Qin Susu asked seriously.
"Xiaobao is playful and accidentally met him when he was on the street." Qin Xiaobao lowered his eyelids and spoke.
Qin Susu sighed softly, then shook her head helplessly, "Let's go, mother will take you back to the restaurant."
At this moment, Qin Susu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was not what she imagined.
If Baili Cangming really came to arrest Qin Xiaobao on purpose, she would not be able to get around him!
Ten days pass in the blink of an eye.
This day is the day when the new emperor Baili Canglian ascends the throne.
Baili Yuntian sat aside, looking at Baili Canglian who was wearing a dragon robe and walking up step by step, his eyes filled with joy.
Above the lobby, Baili Yuntian announced to the civil and military officials that he would formally hand over the throne to the prince. At the same time, he looked at the two princes on the side with deep meaning.
"In the future, you will still have to help the new emperor. One or three of you brothers must work together."
Baili Cangming and Baili Cangyan were at the bottom and agreed one after another.
Turning his head, Baili Yuntian looked at Baili Canglian, and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, from now on, the entire Dongjin will depend on you -" Then, he solemnly placed the national seal in his hand and personally
He put on the crown that only belonged to the emperor.
"Father, don't worry, my son will live up to his trust."
The queen sat aside, looking at this festive scene, her face already extremely pale. She looked at General Qiao several times, and then the corners of her mouth curved into a cruel arc.
Their original idea was very good, that is, after Baili Yuntian died, they would directly tamper with the imperial edict, but the change was really too big.
The enthronement ceremony of the new emperor began. Baili Canglian sat on the throne and accepted the kneeling worship of the civil and military officials below.
Sincere, false.
He was always a little out of breath.
In fact, this is not what he wants. He hopes that he can just live an ordinary life, but in this position, people can't help themselves!
"Pingshen——" But he had no choice but to speak like this, with a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
After the coronation ceremony was over, Baili Canglian suddenly spoke. "A while ago, there was a flood in the south. Someone came up with a good plan and the flood was suppressed. I should reward you based on my merits."
All the ministers nodded in agreement, but they all doubted who came up with this method.
But before they could think about it, Baili Cang said, "Today, I will appoint the most important contributor to this matter, Guard Su Qin, as a first-class sword-bearing guard. From now on, he will always be by my side to protect my safety."
As soon as these words came out, Baili Cangming's expression changed instantly.
The same goes for Baili Cangyan. He knows that Baili Cangming treats him differently, but if he does this now, doesn't he clearly slap Baili Cangming in the face?
The queen's eyes were full of murderous intent. Originally, she was determined to kill Su Qin, but now, Baili Canglian obviously protected him very well.
Because she was Baili Canglian's personal bodyguard, Qin Susu had been in the dark. When she heard about this reward, she was also shocked.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are scared -" Qin Susu clasped her hands into fists, lowered her head and said.
Baili Canglian laughed gently, "You deserve this position, Guard Su. You came up with a method to control floods for me, saving hundreds of thousands of people in the south from dying of floods. You are indeed indispensable. I also
How can I just see you as a little bodyguard? If so, it would be too humiliating."
As soon as the words came out, everyone was talking about it.
It turns out that the person who came up with the flood control strategy was this humble and short guard in front of me!
Seeing the reactions around her, Qin Susu finally stopped trying to shirk her. Any further shirk would only make her look pretentious. She just knelt down on one knee, lowered her head, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Haha... Pingsheng, from now on, my safety and the safety of the palace will have to worry about Guard Su."
The corners of Qin Susu's eyes twitched slightly, and she raised her head inadvertently, but she saw a pair of sharp eyes of Baili Cangming on the side staring at her, and there seemed to be a faint unknown meaning in his eyes.
Suddenly, Qin Susu was frightened.
She seemed to feel something. Was it because of Baili Cangming and Baili Canglian that they gave her such a title?
Turning around, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, she really thought too much...
After the canonization ceremony, the officials congratulated him one after another.
At this time, the atmosphere among the ministers was indeed a bit strange. On the one hand, the group of ministers who originally followed the queen kept trying to find out whether Baili Canglian knew their previous purpose. On the other hand, they tried their best to keep it low.
Ang wanted to show his loyalty to the new emperor.
Baili Canglian looked at the scene below coldly, without comment. In his heart, who was true and who was fake, how could he not count? Even if he didn't care about the affairs of the court, but those things that happened under his eyes,
He still knew it clearly.
Just when everyone was about to disperse, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, the envoy from Xijue is visiting——"
As soon as the words came out, the ministers who originally planned to leave stopped again.
Envoy from the West?
What is their purpose?
Baili Canglian was also confused for a moment, "Passed——"
Not long after, several people slowly walked into the hall.
"I have heard that the new emperor of Dongjin ascended the throne today, and our king Xijue specially sent us to give gifts to celebrate."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar. Everyone knew that there were constant wars between the Western Jue and the Eastern Jin. But this time they came, either because they really wanted to show their goodwill, or because Jing Ke was assassinating the King of Qin, they had no good intentions at all.
"Looking at this situation, we have just caught up with the last step." The leader of the envoy continued.
Baili Canglian was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed out loud, his tone was extremely refined.
"I am extremely pleased with the arrival of the Xijue envoy."
The leader of the envoy smiled and said, "However, Dongjin's defense is really strict. If we had explained our purpose and had all our weapons taken away, your guards would really not let us in."
Baili Cang kept smiling but said nothing.
Seeing that the time was about the same, the envoy Xiao Zhan continued, "This time, I, Xijue, have sent me some congratulatory gifts, and I hope that Emperor Dongjin will accept them." After saying that, he clapped his hands, and instantly, several people came from outside the palace to carry their gifts.
Come in with a few boxes.
"The messenger is polite——"
Everyone was doubtful about the uninvited arrival of the Xijue envoy. At this moment, Baili Canglian was also on alert.
"Open." Following the messenger's command, the box was opened. Instantly, some flower petals were scattered from the alley. As the petals were scattered, a woman danced out of the box and walked out.
Everyone held their breath.
The woman in front of her was wearing a short shirt, revealing her snow-white waist, which was constantly twisting, and her face was covered with a veil.
This veil only adds to her mystery.
"This is my most beautiful woman from the Western Regions, specially presented to Emperor Dongjin."
Baili Canglian raised his head without joy, "I appreciate Xi Jue's kindness, but -"
"Does Emperor Dongjin dislike this gift?" Before Baili Canglian could finish speaking, the messenger spoke first, and then, the legendary most beautiful woman looked at Baili Canglian with tears in her eyes.
"We have also delivered our king's gifts, leaving them at the disposal of Emperor Dongjin." The envoy said, with a hint of power in his tone. "The war has been turbulent for many years, and the king does not want to continue to see the people's lives in ruins, so he borrowed the opportunity to
I hope that Emperor Dongjin will not refuse this opportunity to seek peace between the two countries. After all, this is the good intention of our king."
Having already said this, how could Baili Canglian continue to shirk it. He could only raise his hand lightly and said, "If that's the case, then I'll accept it."
As soon as these words came out, the envoys thanked him one after another.
Below, Yun Ji, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the West, looked at the emperor with affection. Inadvertently, her eyes lightly passed over the people present. When her eyes caught a glimpse of Baili Cangming beside her,
At this time, his eyelids gently lowered, concealing the infinite complexity in his eyes...
