Chapter 394: The Emperor's Heart Is Like an Abyss(1/2)
"Little Red Riding Hood is hurt?"
After Li Yuan and Li Ziye came back, Hongzhu asked curiously, "Is the injury serious?"
"Quite heavy."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "I can't even get out of bed."
"That's quite serious."
Hongzhu stuffed a piece of dried fruit into her mouth and said, "But looking at you like this, he probably won't die."
"..."
Li Ziye rolled his eyes and said, "He broke through the restrictions on the fifth floor of some Buddhist scripture tower and almost got hung up in it, asking for trouble."
"Fifth floor of the Sutra Pagoda?"
When Hongzhu heard these words, she looked stunned and said in disbelief, "Did it succeed?"
She had heard of the Confucian Buddhist Scripture Pagoda, but it was not something that ordinary people could break into.
"Successful."
Li Ziye said depressedly.
Hearing this, Hongzhu reached out and patted the shoulder of the young man next to her, and said with emotion, "Look, I've heard that the restrictions on the fifth floor of the Sutra-Tibetan Pagoda usually require a great cultivator of the Five Realms to break through.
, no matter how bad it is, you still need a master at the pinnacle of the fourth realm like Chen Qiaoer. If I remember correctly, Little Red Riding Hood should not have entered the fourth realm yet, right?"
"No."
Li Ziye shook his head with a depressed expression.
"What a difference."
Hongzhu had a look of hatred on her face and said, "Xiao Ziye, you can go to the Yezang Sutra Pagoda another day and see if you can go up to the third floor."
"..."
Li Ziye stood up and said angrily, "I won't talk to you, I'm going to practice my sword!"
After saying that, Li Ziye picked up his sword and continued to practice.
at the same time.
Imperial Palace, Shouan Hall.
When Emperor Shang heard the news from the Confucian sect, a strange color flashed in his sinister eyes.
Then Bai Wangyu passed the test on the fifth floor of the Sutra-Tibetan Pagoda?
Doesn't it mean that this Confucian disciple, under certain circumstances, can even explode with strength comparable to that of the Five Realms?
He seemed to underestimate this Confucian disciple.
"Come here, summon the fourth prince to the palace immediately to see me."
Thinking of this, Emperor Shang came to his senses and ordered.
"yes!"
A chamberlain took the order and left in a hurry.
The Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Because he had left Dashang without authorization, the fourth prince Mu Bai had been banned for several months.
After all, Emperor Shang showed mercy to the fourth son born by the queen and did not punish him severely.
"Father, have you summoned me to the palace?"
In the mansion, Mu Bai was surprised when he heard the news from the servant in front of him.
"Yes, Your Highness Fourth Prince."
The waiter responded respectfully.
Mu Bai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will enter the palace with my father-in-law."
The two then left the palace and took a sedan chair to the palace.
It didn't take long.
In front of Shouan Hall, two people walked quickly.
"Your Highness, hurry up. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
Outside the palace, a personal servant of the Shang Emperor saw the two people arriving and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Um."
Mu Bai nodded and walked into the palace.
"My son, please see your father."
In the hall, Mu Bai knelt down and saluted.
"Get up."
Emperor Shang looked at the fourth child in front of him and said, "Come here and accompany me to finish this mess."
Mu Bai stood up and said calmly, "My son is not good at chess, so I'm afraid he won't be able to catch the eye of my father."
"It's just a competition between father and son. The outcome is not important." Emperor Shang said with a calm expression.
Mu Bai nodded, stepped forward, and sat across from the chess table.
On the chessboard, the fight between the black and white pieces has become very fierce.
Mu Bai took the initiative to take the black piece, looked at the chess game in front of him, and asked, "Father, whose turn is it?"
"Heizi."
The Shang Emperor replied.
Mu Bai scanned the entire chess game again and quickly dropped the chess piece in his hand.
The killing was decisive and the offensive was fierce, without any intention of hiding clumsiness.
Seeing this, Emperor Shang also pinched a white stone and dropped it to counterattack.
soon.
The whole chess game is getting more and more intense.
Attack against attack, the situation did not last long. After about a quarter of an hour, Heizi was defeated and completely defeated.
"My son has lost."
Seeing that the situation was over, Mu Bai put down the chess piece in his hand and said.
"Fourth brother, do you know who among your brothers has the best chess skills?"
Emperor Shang also put down the white piece in his hand and asked.
"It should be Brother Sanhuang."
Mu Bai thought for a while and replied.
"Lao San's chess skills are really good."
Emperor Shang nodded and said, "However, the one with the best chess skills is your eldest brother."
"Big Brother?"
Mu Bai was startled, but quickly came to his senses and said, "I have played chess with my eldest brother, and we have indeed lost more than we have won."
"You, don't you understand yet?"
Emperor Shang sighed softly, "If Mu Yuan didn't hide his clumsiness, you wouldn't even have a chance to win a game. Among all my princes, you are the least scheming and unwilling to fight. Even if you have your eldest brother or
Brother Three Emperors is half as ambitious, so I won’t bother myself so much.”
"My son is obsessed with martial arts and has no interest in power."
Mu Bai looked calmly and said, "Dashang has his father, and among the princes, there are also all-round civil and military talents like the eldest brother, the third brother and the eleventh brother. There are not many ministers with many sons and a few ministers with younger sons."
"If you don't fight, others will."
Emperor Shang's expression darkened and he said, "Fourth brother, in the royal family, many times, you don't have to fight if you don't want to fight. How many people are watching the position of the prince? In the past dynasties, the battle for the throne has been either you die or I am.
If you don’t fight for your life, what will your mother and queen do, and what will happen to those courtiers who support you?”
"Father, these words have been said by many people and ministers."
Mu Bai said seriously, "I don't want anyone to influence my life. I just want to take the path I want to take."
"If your mother hears these words from you, she will definitely be angry again."
Emperor Shang looked complicated and said, "Do you know why I want to play a game of chess for you?"
"I don't know." Mu Bai shook his head.
"Because, as long as you compromise in the chess game just now, you can win."
