Rebirth of Peach Blossom

The common people in Daxu are very anxious. Seeing that the north is about to fight all the way to the gate of Xudu, and the south is also intensified. No one can do anything to each other, and they have been stalemate. However, Her Royal Highness wants to open an altar to pray for blessings!

Some people who were dissatisfied with Xiao Ziyu began to doubt Xiao Ziyu's ability to govern a country at all, and believed that Xiao Ziyu himself was a legend and must have other plans.Fortunately, praying for blessings is not the kind of annual ritual that only the royal family can participate in. The location of praying for blessings and offering sacrifices to heaven is in the Lingyun Temple in the suburbs, and ordinary people can also go there.

So on that day, a large number of people appeared on the street that had been deserted for a long time, and most of them looked at Xiao Ziyu's father-in-law with pious eyes full of hope.

Xiao Ziyu opened a corner of the curtain, took a look, and then smiled at Cheng Wanning who was beside him, "I thought I would throw some rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, but I didn't expect the people to save me face."

Cheng Wanning looked a little dignified, "Why did you choose such a time to sacrifice to heaven?"

"Comfort the hearts of the people." Xiao Ziyu said as a matter of course, as if she really thought so.

Cheng Wanning knew that she would not be able to hear the truth from this person, so she stopped asking further questions, took out the brewed tea and snacks from the hidden compartment, and put them on the small table, "It must be past noon after the blessing, you wake up in the morning I didn’t eat much at the time, so let’s pad my stomach first?”

Xiao Ziyu looked at the refreshments, looked as usual, and replied with a smile, "Okay."

Lingyun Temple is not far from the imperial palace, and it took half a day to arrive. Xiao Ziyu was dressed in a white robe, and his clothes were gender-indistinguishable, but he looked very free and easy, with the words "dusty and gorgeous" on his shoulders. Luanyu made the crowd following him exclaim in a low voice, this person, no matter how you look at it, has nothing to do with killing and bloodthirsty?

Xiao Ziyu looked up at the Lingyun Temple. This temple has been around for some years, but because it is a grand temple, it has been repaired very diligently, so it looks a bit magnificent from the outside. There are a few early spring birds nesting on the pines and cypresses on both sides of the temple. There are only birds, chirping, which adds a bit of fun.Looking in at a glance, the entire temple is almost surrounded by woods, which is very suitable for ambush.

Seeing Xiao Ziyu, the temple master came up to greet him, but Xiao Ziyu ignored it, but turned around first, helped Cheng Wanning get off Luan Yu, and then greeted the temple master.The common people exclaimed in a low voice again, it turns out that the two are really still together... Miss Cheng looks very gentle, how could there be such a crazy family member?

The auspicious time is always important for offering sacrifices to the heavens, the host did not dare to delay, and without saying a few words, he led Xiao Ziyu into the temple.The sacrifice to heaven was prepared earlier, so Xiao Ziyu went directly there.

The national teacher was not around, and Xiao Ziyu was lazy again, so he only memorized half of the ceremony process. After all, she might not have the chance to carry the blessing ceremony to the end.Sure enough, before it was halfway through, a well-trained army rushed in, and a group of men in black with strong martial arts jumped out from all around.The common people were afraid of trouble, and they fled in all directions when they saw this situation. Suddenly, the whole scene was in a panic.

Xiao Ziyu didn't mind either. He slowly put the last incense in his hand into the incense burner, and then looked down at the ministers and people fleeing in a panic under the high platform, the imperial guards who fought with the visitors but retreated steadily, and The monk Guan Nei who was trembling without knowing the situation wanted to use his internal energy to make a sound to make people stop, but found that the internal energy in his body was stagnant and he couldn't use it. Thinking of the refreshments on the way when he came, he understood the original purpose.So I had no choice but to look at Ah Ning not far away.

"Tell them to stop."

With incomprehensible emotions in Cheng Wan's eyes, she made a gesture, and the approaching army stopped immediately. All the commotion was frozen at this moment. Looking at Cheng Wanning, all words were choked in her throat.Cheng Wanning has always been introverted, gentle, like water, but at this moment, she showed her sharpness, just standing there, but no one can ignore her existence anymore.

Xiao Ziyu tried the mental method again, and found that it was still the same, very sluggish, and after a little trial, he felt a dull pain, so he looked at Cheng Wanning curiously, "How did you do it?"

Cheng Wanning was also frank, and answered her without hesitation, "Wuxin Jue is a mental method made to restrain the mind of Mingjian Villa. How could the famous Sword Villa be allowed to be restrained? This is a potion for Wuxin Jue." , don't worry, it will be fine in two hours."

Xiao Ziyu's heart moved, "Then Shen Yue was taken away by Master in a hurry..."

"It's also because of this kind of medicine that extremely suppresses the curative effect of Wuxin Jue. Xuanyuan Shenyue is so calm and composed, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to get over it. This medicine is called 'Youqing'. How about the name I chose?"

Xiao Ziyu smiled coolly when he heard the words, "It's good."

But Cheng Wanning could see clearly that Xiao Ziyu looked at her with unprecedented indifference. Why, was it because of being deprived of power, or because of Xuanyuan Shenyue?

But at this time, the crowd of onlookers realized that this was... being restrained by a delicate young lady who was left by the Cheng family in Xudu?Many loyal and loyal ministers, realizing this situation, feared that Daxu was really going to die, rolled their eyes, and passed out, and there was another commotion for a while.

There was a young newly promoted official, who was upright like a newborn calf, facing the swords and swords around him, and asked, "Are you going to rebel?! Our Highness treats you well, is this how you treat her?!"

Even though everyone present was under the control of others, they couldn't stop those angry little eyes from greeting Cheng Wanning. Many ordinary people who failed to run away immediately left Cheng Wanning behind, feeling very angry in their hearts.

Xiao Ziyu got off the high platform, tore a piece of white cloth from his coat, bound his hands in twos and twos, and stood in front of Cheng Wanning, "Let them go, the people are kind, the ministers are innocent, why make things difficult? Since your soldiers are all If you can chase here, I'm afraid the palace is already under your control, I don't struggle, you can do whatever you want."

Many of the restrained people were more emotional, and they were already looking at Xiao Ziyu with tears in their eyes. They opened their mouths to say something about life and death, but Xiao Ziyu shook his head to stop him. I fought and died for Daxu because my surname is Xiao, and because I am Daxu's saint, I hope you can understand."

Cheng Wanning didn't want to see Xiao Ziyu's confession, so she stopped the man who bound her hands, and left the Lingyun Temple with one ups and downs, while the team immediately took the minister away with good training and evacuated common people.

But in less than half an hour, everything is different.

When I went back, I sat in a gorgeous carriage, which was very comfortable. There were still some refreshments on the table, Cheng Wanning raised her chin and pointed, "Eat at ease."

Xiao Ziyu raised his tied hands, "It's not convenient."

Cheng Wanning didn't intend to help her untie it either, leaning on the cushion, she said softly, "I said earlier, you shouldn't trust me that much. It's not that I don't want to do it, but I'm just waiting for the most suitable time. "

Xiao Ziyu leaned back casually, and squinted his eyes comfortably when he touched the cushion, "I know, so what? How are you going to deal with me?"

Cheng Wanning replied without thinking, "Of course it is the wife of the high priest."

Xiao Ziyu raised his eyebrows, "So you are the great priest." Then he thought of something, and said sarcastically, "Aren't you betraying the gods? Why are there still priests? What do you believe in? Demons?"

Cheng Wanning didn't care about Xiao Ziyu's attitude, "We also believe in God, and who said we were abandoned by God? Do you believe in Xuanyuan Shenyue's words?"

What Cheng Wanning said next was completely contrary to what Shen Yue said. She said that the Xuanyuan family was chosen by the gods to inherit the way of heaven, but some people in the Xuanyuan family betrayed God and helped Xiao Shi, and that person was powerful, and that period was the beginning of the era of the hidden gods, gods no longer appeared in the world, Xuanyuan split into two families, fought for many years, and Xiao Shi finally won.

But the Xiao family was greedy, and wanted Xuanyuan's divine power to protect them forever, so he used a spell to make Xuanyuan family always have someone to protect them. Now it seems that the guardian is Xuanyuan Shenyue.

Xiao Ziyu did not expect such a statement, and looked at Cheng Wanning with a half-smile, "Then the sinful bloodline you mentioned..."

Cheng Wanning's eyes were very innocent, "Those who lie to you are just like me saying that I am just a chess piece. They are all lying to you."

Xiao Ziyu laughed angrily, "You are honest."

Cheng Wanning approached Xiao Ziyu, picked up the pastry and fed it to her, "The Xiao family erased this history because he was a traitor. The real history is always written by the winners, and they are afraid of being found out the truth." , then simply erase it. Can you understand now?"

Xiao Ziyu didn't refuse the full-fledged snacks, and said vaguely while eating, "I don't care about these things, what about history, that's all in the past, anyway, God won't stand up and say who is chosen by God, That’s all with one mouth, as you said, history is written by the victors, you can tell the world what you said now, it may not be accepted for a while, but after a long time, this is history.”

Cheng Wanning was not angry, "You can see clearly."

The atmosphere between the two of them was quite harmonious, and there was no sign of tension at all.

Going all the way to the palace, Xiao Ziyu didn't ask Cheng Wanning how he did it when he saw the changed imperial guards. The Cheng family is one of the three great aristocratic families. It has been in Xudu for many years and has a deep foundation. Only now they are willing to expose Xiao Ziyu had to come out to see it, otherwise, it would always be a thorn in Xudu's throat.

Xiao Ziyu didn't speak again until he entered the hall, "Where's the little emperor?"

Cheng Wanning tentatively said, "Kill it."

Xiao Ziyu was not surprised at all, "Don't lie to me."

Seeing this, Cheng Wanning seemed to be unable to deceive this person, so she said honestly, "It's closed. After all, it's your brother, and you treated him so well, how could I kill him?"

Xiao Ziyu thought it was a bit ridiculous that the words were flattering. If the two of them changed positions and identities, would they even change the way they get along with each other?

I will make up a special episode from Ah Ning's perspective~ and Xiaoyu will leave, but not now
