Born short-lived

Dong Sheng took the Past Life Spirit Sword, poured some spiritual power into it, and saw that the dark ink jade beads lit up at that moment, and then a spiritual flow overflowed under the eyes of everyone, and quickly condensed in the center of the hall. A figure was formed.

Although it is no longer an anecdote that the sword spirit of Tiangang Lingwu can be a physical entity, but seeing Dong Sheng transform into a living person so much with his own eyes, he still couldn't react for a while.

"Death." Dong Sheng called out, "Show Your Majesty how you look like a Black Banner man."

The people above the court do not hold weapons, and Dong Sheng usually does not take him with him when he goes to court. He has just arrived at this moment, although he is not clear about what is going on, but he can roughly understand what it means by looking at Dong Sheng's expression .

After the death, he bowed to the queen, and in the blink of an eye, he changed from a scholar in brocade clothes and a white crown to a black flag warrior with five big and three thick. The strange shape twisted and changed, and the rattling sound of bones moving filled the entire Golden Luan Hall with horror.

There was another dead silence above the court hall.

Before everyone could react, Dong Sheng directly knelt down in front of the queen with a plop; "Your Majesty, although my son is not talented, he has never had the heart of lawlessness or disobedience."

The queen glanced at him, then raised her eyes to Zhang Lunian, who was prostrate on the ground and trembling, her heart sank.

Dong Sheng continued; "Just now, Mr. Zhang and the priest said that they would not hesitate to make an agreement with Black Flag in order to obtain the holy sword."

Dong Sheng smiled with the corners of his mouth; "Speaking of disrespect, priest, I can even take down the country of your ministry, and get back a sword that should belong to me, Hua Xu. Do I still need to make an agreement with you?"

At the beginning, even the extermination of the family was all a matter of his words.

Jiang Kun closed his eyes and sighed, and stopped looking at Zhang Lunian.

This man is fucked.

This old man is a mad dog, and he is also a mad dog without a brain.What Jiang Kun was interested in back then was his value of being able to pounce on it regardless of his cannon fodder, but he never thought that this old thing was too easy to fold to the extreme, and before it was time to use it, he would play with himself first. died.

Before Zhang Lunian did this, he didn't even discuss it with Jiang Kun, and ever since Jiang Kun heard his first words about the prince's collusion with the enemy in the court, Jiang Kun knew that this man was in trouble.

Not to mention this kind of false evidence full of loopholes, even if the evidence is solid, the prince's crime of "collaborating with the enemy" is the same as treason, and he will never be able to convict him.

If he loses, it will be slandering the royal family, and even if he wins, he is just a civil servant, not even a censor - does he have the final say on the prince's crime?Can the royal face be so humiliated?

In any case, Jiang Kun is definitely unable to keep this pawn.

The most important thing is that Zhang Lunian forgot that Dong Sheng is not only a prince, but also a once-in-a-thousand-year black spirit.This status in Huaxu must have a somewhat sacred meaning.

"Zhang Lunian." The empress said with gloomy eyes.

Zhang Lunian raised his head cautiously, and just as he was about to say something, the queen raised her hand to stop her.

Empress; "I haven't asked you yet, how did you collude with this remnant of the enemy army? Do you remember that my order is for you to be executed if you catch it?"

Zhang Lunian was dumbfounded for a while, and couldn't help but glanced at the past life that popped out from the gap in the sword, and then he explained stutteringly for a long time; "I... ..."

"Anomaly?" the Queen sneered, "Just because of an abnormality and the one-sided remarks of a remnant of the enemy, you dare to slander my crown prince in my court? Do you know that this is slandering the royal family?"

This sentence "slandering the royal family" stunned Zhang Lunian. He looked at Dongsheng, at the past life, and at the queen. It was like waking up from a dream, and he wanted to slap himself , Kowtow like pounding garlic, it almost makes people feel that he is going to knock a hole in the floor.

Zhang Lunian; "I...you dare not, Your Majesty! I...you..."

Although he had just arrived in the past life, he almost understood it when he heard this. He looked at Dong Sheng with a complicated expression, but there was no room for him to speak in the Hua Xu court.

The empress just told the old man to cry and plead, and she was a little confused, and she didn't get over the anger for a while, but after thinking about it carefully this time, she finally figured out what was going on, and her face turned dark again : "Zhang Aiqing, I treat you well on weekdays, you and a remnant of the enemy army came to falsely accuse my prince?"

The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "What exactly do you intend to do?"

Zhang Lunian's initial remarks only seemed reasonable and well-founded, and they were very capable of bluffing people. In fact, if you look closely at the whole story, you can't stand up to scrutiny. First of all, regardless of whether Dong Sheng has an agreement with them or not, this black flag was indeed laid down by him. , and even if Nuyur does not die, he will never want to stand up again for the rest of his life.

But at this moment, Zhang Lunian went mad for a moment, and shouted incoherently: "Your Majesty...Every sentence of your Majesty's ministers is true...Forgive me, Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

"Come on!"

At the Queen's order, a dozen armored guards from outside the hall filed in.

The queen looked at the guards, but did not give an order directly, and said to Dong Sheng, "Here you are."

Dong Sheng raised his eyes to look at the queen, seeing that she had no expression on her face, he probably understood what she meant.

No matter how much the empress favored him and made such a big mess, it is impossible for him to be unconcerned. If he just cut off the Lu Nian and the old priest together like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to be kind in the future.

Dong Sheng didn't care too much, turned around and put on a majestic air, and shouted at the guards; "Drag this black flag remnant, don't ask about Nuyur's whereabouts, But you guys are asking!"

The old priest didn't struggle, he didn't even scream, and let the armored guards drag him away.One of the two guards held his arm and pulled it out like a sack. The old priest staggered a few times and fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment, staring straight at him.

Dong Sheng could clearly see the bloodshot eyes in his eyes, the eyeballs seemed to be nailed to his body, motionless, whispering something in his mouth, until he was dragged out of the palace, Dong Sheng It was as if he could feel those two disturbing gazes burning on his back.

For a moment, he remembered that when he was in Sri Lanka, that night Aldan took them to the flower house to drink flowers and wine. On the way back alone, he met an assassin pretending to be a civilian.The old woman with the dagger had the same look in her eyes the moment she looked up at him.

Like a poisonous scorpion, it seems to contain some kind of venomous curse.

But this thought didn't stay in his heart for too long, life and death so many times, a non-painful look, no matter how ominous, it would at most create a small ripple in his heart.

As for Dong Sheng, when he remembered this look later, he felt that the old black flag wizard might have really cursed himself—but this is all for later.

The empress waited for the priest to be dragged away before turning her attention back to Zhang Lunian who was shaking like chaff: "Zhang Qing, what do you want me to do with you?"

Zhang Lunian didn't dare to raise his head, his eyes rolled around twice, and he glanced at Jiang Kun first, seeing that he had no intention of saving him at all, but he didn't dare to provoke him after all. He and Jiang Kun looked down and saw each other.

Then he looked at Dong Sheng again, and simply gritted his teeth.

The empress is already suspicious now, if he is really an old donkey, dragging him into the soup pot, holding him back, then he will be charged with slandering the royal family. At that time, the recalcitrant empress Longyan will be furious, I'm afraid he will have to walk around without food.

Since you can't make soft persimmons for people to pinch, then if you stick to it, there may be a way to survive.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lunian wrinkled his face without hesitation - and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, I'm just telling you what I know...I have no other intentions, Your Majesty..."

Wang Sheng looked at Dong Sheng uneasily, seeing that his expression was extremely abnormal, his heart trembled, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

Dong Sheng's mind was burning in a daze, and his anger rushed to Tianling Gai. Before he could be reminded by his past life, he snorted coldly: "What is the meaning of Mr. Zhang? Do you want to convict Gu just like that?"

He closed his eyes with a headache.

The queen gave Dong Sheng a hard look: "Shut up!"

Dong Sheng choked up for a moment, and then his muddy mind became a little clearer again. The soles of his feet were so soft that he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, his legs stretched and stabilized.

Still impulsive.

Sure enough, the empress' intention of favoring him just now was a little restrained, she looked at Zhang Lunian, and said with a cold face: "Do you know what you should be guilty of? The truth? Is it the truth or speculation? It's just such a false evidence. Dare to speak nonsense on my court?"

While shaking, Zhang Lunian defended like marbles: "My minister... I am really repaying the truth... Your Majesty, I really just reported everything I know, Your Majesty..."

"Bastard!" The queen glared at him, "You believe a monster's nonsense, and come here to accuse my prince at will, do you still take me seriously?"

"His Majesty……"

Everyone in the court hall knew that speaking at this time was just for Zhang Lunian's funeral.

But Zhang Lunian knew in his heart that the empress meant that he would not be sentenced to death. "Slandering the royal family" and "being bewitched and wrongly blamed the prince" are completely different judgments. Before, he almost thought that the queen would drag him out and behead him.

But right now the empress believes that it is the latter, so there is still room for maneuver.

Zhang Lunian hurriedly hit the iron while the iron was hot and said, "Your Majesty, I... I am dedicated to Hua Xu, and to Your Majesty!"

The queen was silent for a while, then glanced at Dong Sheng, and saw him standing aside with ashen face, as if he was suffocating.Then he turned his head and stared at Zhang Lunian who was about to knock a hole in the floor, sighed and said: "Zhang Qing, I think you are an old minister who served the late emperor, and you can be regarded as a hero of Huaxu. capital offense."

The queen thought to herself, this old man is not easy, but he is also old, let him beg for bones.

Zhang Lunian hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Dong Sheng closed his eyes calmly.

"However," the queen continued, "capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. You are lawless, slandering the crown prince, and treating my Huaxu as majestic as nothing. From now on, you will be fined for three years, and you will be relegated to Kunzhou."

Zhang Lu Nian was covered in cold sweat. Although the queen's punishment was extremely severe, it was still a bit of a shame.Zhang Lunian is a native of Huajing, his ancestors lived in Huajing for generations, now that he is old, if he is really relegated, he may not be able to return until he dies.

And Kunzhou is next to Huajing, so it can be regarded as acquiescing that he will be buried in his ancestral grave after his death, and his soul will return to his hometown.

However, Zhang Lunian couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart when he thought that all his life's hard work would be in vain. Tears couldn't be controlled from his eyes, and instantly covered his ravine face.

He thought that he was really old, he was becoming less and less prudent in doing things, and it was really miserable to be in such a situation.

At the beginning, he took over the matter of interrogating the remnants of the black flag because of Jiang Kun's hint to him.And he didn't expect that so many personal and physical evidences that were so beneficial to them could be found in one search, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, so he brought the old priest to the Jinluan Hall to cry in court without even thinking about it.

A misstep caused eternal hatred, Zhang Lunian gritted his teeth and kowtowed to thank him with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Kun sighed and looked at him indifferently.

I thought to myself, it's really mud that can't support the wall.

This Lunian was originally an unknown person, and Jiang Kun promoted him only because of his vigor, so that he could make some starts for him that he dared not make, and make some sacrifices that he did not dare to make.

It's just that he didn't expect that this old boy would open a dyeing workshop just to give him some color. If he didn't pay attention, he would jump into the sky, and he deserved to fall to his death.

He watched Zhang Lunian retreat from the hall with a dejected expression, pinching the wooden beads on his wrists in his hands, thinking silently.

It is impossible for a person like him to come back after being exiled, not to mention that the empress has no intention of letting him return to Huajing alive.

Jiang Kun thought calmly, it was useless.

The queen threw Zhang Lunian out, but ignored Dong Sheng, and just said "retire from court".

Dong Sheng came back to his senses a little bit, his legs felt weak for a while, and he didn't call for death, he turned around on his own, and walked out stiffly.

Wang Sheng stared at him from behind, feeling that the man's mental state was really not right, so he followed quickly.

When Jiang Kun passed by Dong Sheng, he specially smiled at him, seeing Dong Sheng's expressionless face, he left resentfully.

When he was about to walk out of the Golden Luan Hall, almost all the people around him were gone. When the last courtier disappeared from sight, Dong Sheng felt as if his spine had been taken away. Falling like lead.

Xiangsheng quickly rushed forward and grabbed him, so that he didn't let him fall to the ground.

Dong Sheng was carried on his shoulders, shivering from the cold, but through his clothes, he felt that this man was as hot as a red-hot iron.

"Burn?" Xiangsheng touched his forehead, and there was a burning heat in his hand, and Xiangsheng could still feel the disorder of spiritual power in his body.

His heart sank, but he didn't say anything.

Dong Sheng glanced at him unconsciously, frowned and said, "Go back to the palace."
