Long Aotian's Pregnancy

This was Yu Hongyi's second time entering the Beiming Holy Mountain, and the old man who greeted him was still the mountain guard.

The old man probably knew that he would come, so he was waiting at the intersection early in the morning.When he saw him, the old man's complex expression showed obvious admiration and joy.Glancing at his already protruding belly, the old man's expression couldn't help but start to twitch again.

After a while, the old man sighed, "You actually did it."

Yu Hongyi smiled and said, "I will fulfill my original promise."

The old man snorted, turned around and began to lead the way.

The white sacred flowers are still blooming all over the mountain, stretching along the roadside to form a whole piece.They walked along the road until they reached the mountain guard's village, and walked into the old man's house again.

The old man took out a wooden box and placed it in front of his eyes, "Young Master Yu...no, Your Majesty...Master Shui Sheng, please."

...Is this the wooden box?

Yu Hongyi was silent for a long time, stretched out his fingertips to caress the edge of the wooden box for a while, then looked up at the old man for a while.

After the old man nodded, Yu Hongyi opened the wooden box.

The wooden box was empty, with only a small petal lying there.

When I came last time, the petals were only slightly withered and yellow, but now they are completely withered and curled up into a small ball.Yu Hongyi carefully unfolded the petals with his fingertips, rubbed them carefully, feeling the soft but old touch.

This is Shui Sheng... that flamboyant and willful girl, now there is only such a small wreckage left.

Yu Hongyi greeted her with a smile, and gently closed the wooden box again.His face seemed to be light and calm, but deep down in his heart seemed to be as heavy as a huge boulder.

What exactly is a flower girl?Why is it that the flower girl needs to sacrifice for this world?

No matter how you think about it, there is no answer to this question.

But at least Yu Hongyi can guarantee that as long as he is in power for one day, Beiming's country will not be stained with the blood of more flower girls.Thinking about it this way, he should indeed be happier now.

Yu Hongyi asked the mountain guard about the situation of Shui Sheng's family.

The old man replied, "Lord Shui Sheng came from Caesar, and his family members should also stay in Caesar."

But where it is, you have to inquire carefully to know.Fortunately, Yu Hongyi is now firmly seated in the Northern Ming Dynasty, and it is not difficult to ask the Xizawa court for help.

Yu Hongyi carefully put away the wooden box.

Then, there was the so-called flower god blessing ceremony before ascending the throne.

The old mountain guard got up and once again led Yu Hongyi out of the village and into the depths of the holy mountain.

At this time, what they were going to was the same direction as the root of the sacred flower before, but not the same place.

"This is the real center of the holy mountain." The old man told him when he stopped.

Yu Hongyi raised his head and looked at the scene in front of him.

The ground was not covered by any plants, but it did not reveal the color of black soil, instead it was covered with a layer of fine white sand.

The strangest place is the sky.

The clear sky was surrounded by white clouds, which happened to circle a few times in the center.At first glance, it looks like a big funnel hanging in the sky.

Yu Hongyi walked over, stood at the bottom of the big funnel surrounded by clouds, and looked up.There was a wind blowing on his face from top to bottom, bringing a strange feeling.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that this holy mountain had many secrets, and this world was more complicated than he thought.

Because the wind fell from the hollow surrounded by clouds above his head, and it also gave Yu Hongyi a strange and inexplicably familiar feeling, like the air he had breathed before.

The meager magic power that was born in his body also increased slightly under this blowing.

At the same moment, it was the moment when Shen Si was attacked outside the holy mountain.

The poisonous needles suddenly came one after another, killing a giant bird almost instantly.Shen Si's entire face suddenly became ugly, and he didn't have time to think carefully about who was coming, so he had to dodge one after another in order to save his life, in extreme haste.

call out!A thin needle just brushed his cheek and broke a strand of hair.At this juncture of life and death, Shen Si's heart was beating like thunder, but his whole body gradually regained his composure.

It has almost become instinctive.The closer the crisis is, the more it is at the moment when calmness is life-threatening, the more careful thinking can maintain this calmness.

Another row of silver needles came, from another angle, another direction.

There was more than one person on the other side, which made Shen Si feel very tricky, and his scalp became numb.But this kind of assassination in the gutter made Shen Si feel that the other party was not a commendable master.

One of the two giant birds brought was dead, and the other spread its wings and screamed, but it was not spared from the chaos.

The thin needle pierced the wing, and the circle around the wound suddenly began to turn black.

Seeing that even this head was going to die, Shen Si suddenly swayed and hid behind the giant bird.He held the green jade flute used to control birds.

Before dying, the giant bird screamed twice, and suddenly rushed in one direction resolutely.

The assassin hiding there was terrified and fled from the shadow of the trees.

Before he could move quickly, a rope as thin as a hair had already stopped in front of him.Then it was wound and retracted, and the cable immediately turned into a murderous weapon, and the head was cut off in the blink of an eye.

There is a second person, hiding behind.

Shen Si didn't move, but turned his wrist suddenly.

The Shadow Killer who had become invisible immediately rushed to the rear.

Hardly had time to react, the second assassin was pierced through the chest.

Is there a third one?

Just as Shen Si was thinking, an extremely dangerous feeling swept over his whole body.

There was indeed a third, aimed at him.

The giant bird in front of him had died, lying on the ground without moving.Shen Si was about to react, but another gust of wind brushed past him.

The wind came from the trail leading into and out of the holy mountain.

Hula!The third assassin was suddenly blown out from behind the shadow of the tree, and flew all the way to the tree trunk in the distance, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Who is it?" Yu Hongyi walked up the path.

Seeing him, Shen Si subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, Shen Si rushed towards the third assassin, trying to catch another one alive.

Yu Hongyi stood in the rear to prevent the opponent from escaping.

And the assassin, seeing that the general situation was over, gave up struggling altogether.It's just that when Shensi was about to pounce in front of his eyes, this person suddenly bit into pieces what was hidden in his mouth.

Shen Si's expression changed, and he quickly reached out and grabbed the man's jaw.

But one step too late.Soon, this person's complexion began to turn black and blue, and he committed suicide by directly swallowing poison.Shen Si's eyes dimmed, and he quickly took a step back, throwing the corpse to the ground.

"What's going on?" Yu Hongyi walked over.

Shen Si shook his head, expressing that he didn't know why he was attacked so suddenly.

I dare not touch this poisoned corpse again.Shensi took two steps away and had to go to see the other two assassins.

"Is it the fish that slipped through the prime minister's henchman? Or an extreme supporter of the late emperor?" Yu Hongyi frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes to see Shen Si's movement, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "What are you doing?"

I saw Shen Si walked to the two corpses that had been killed before, and stripped off their clothes.

It was really stripped, not even the shoes and socks were spared, Shen Si even looked at the soles of the feet.

It's a pity that there are only scars on the two bodies, and there is nothing to prove their identity.Thinking about it, since it was such a sneaky assassination, it would not be so easy for people to catch clues.

Shensi picked up the stripped clothes again, and looked through them carefully.

Naturally, it is impossible to leave any obvious clues on the clothes.

But Shensi's expression changed slightly.

"What did you see?" Yu Hongyi asked him.

Shensi lifted the clothes up, and let Yu Hongyi see the stitching, "It's Dongqing's craftsmanship."

"Dongqing?" Yu Hongyi was surprised.

When he led troops to surround the capital, the Beiming court asked Dongqing for help, but Dongqing had no intention of helping.

Now that the dust has settled, Dongqing naturally has no reason to assassinate the new emperor.Yu Hongyi thought and thought, but he couldn't think of anyone in Dongqing who could deal with him.

Then... probably it wasn't here to deal with him at all.

Yu Hongyi looked at the young man in front of him who was suddenly attacked, opened his mouth, and was about to ask carefully.

Shen Si mentioned other matters first, "By the way, young master, how is the ceremony of blessing?"

Yu Hongyi raised his hand, "It has been successfully completed. I just stood there for a while, and it didn't take much time at all."

"Really?" Shen Si looked at him curiously, "Is it any different from before?"

Yu Hongyi was silent for a moment.If there is any difference, it seems that the natural mana in the body has increased slightly, but the increase is really subtle.And according to the old man who guarded the mountain, if ordinary people other than the Hua clan came here, the changes would be even greater.

This confirmed Yu Hongyi's previous guess.Although I don't know the reason, the reason why the royal families of the four countries have special blood is indeed closely related to this blessing ceremony.As for why Yu Hongyi's changes were weak, it was only because he was a flower boy, and the blood in his body was already special enough.

Yu Hongyi took another look at Shen Si in front of him.

Because Shensi and the little prince of Beiming can heal wounds on their own, Yu Hongyi once thought they were of the same blood.But later it became known that Shen Si was able to heal itself only because of that jade block, and this guess was naturally overturned.

But thinking of that jade piece, Yu Hongyi thought of another thing.

"Recently, because of my ascension to the throne, the royal families of both Xi Ze and Dong Qing have sent congratulatory letters. Xi Ze's letter is written by the prince himself, and Dong Qing's letter is also written by the eldest prince himself."

Shen Si looked at him in bewilderment, wondering why he suddenly mentioned this matter.

"And according to the signature of the letter, it seems that Dongqing's eldest prince is called... Cen Tianqi."

Hearing this name, Shen Si's face changed slightly.

"Cen is Dongqing's national surname." Yu Hongyi looked straight into his eyes, "The word 'Cen' is very familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere."

Yu Hongyi almost said it bluntly... the jade block hidden in Shen Si's flesh and blood now has the word "Cen" engraved on it.
