Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 101

101 An unknown secret (1)

Emperor Yuan jing was the first to bear the brunt. He fell to the ground in the strong Qi movement. The high platform shook violently, and the memorial tablets of his ancestors on the table fell one after another.

The offerings and utensils were scattered all over the ground, and some of the flying tiles hit Emperor Yuan jing.

The scene instantly became chaotic. The Imperial Army patrolling around quickly gathered and rushed toward sang Bo.

The night watchmen who were on guard by the lake rushed to the group of priests to protect the royal family and the civil and military officials.

there are assassins. Protect His Majesty.

protect the Empress, protect the princess ...

protect the chief advisor ...

Figures flickered. The ten Masters from the Yamen, the Imperial Guards, and the imperial family rose into the air in an instant. At least dozens of high-ranked martial artists landed on the high platform and the winding corridor, tightly protecting Emperor Yuan jing.

The disturbance only lasted for a dozen breaths, because the sword energy that pierced through the clouds quickly dissipated, and the lake returned to its calm state.

There were no assassins. As the storm subsided, everything was very stable. There were no casualties or suspicious people.

Wei Yuan was in charge of the security of the ritual. He walked along the winding water corridor and strode up to the platform. He bowed and said, ”

“I have failed my duty. I deserve to die.”

At this time, Emperor Yuan jing had regained his composure. However, after experiencing this incident, the faint immortal Qi in his eyes had completely disappeared.

He was no longer a Daoist who had cultivated for more than twenty years, but an unfathomably majestic Emperor who held power.

“Everyone, get out of the altar and don’t get close,” Emperor Yuan jing said in a deep voice.

All the high-ranked martial artists, including Wei Yuan, stood up and agreed.

Emperor Yuan jing straightened his clothes and dusted off his Imperial robe. He pushed open the temple door with a serious expression and entered.

.....

Beside the willow tree, Xu Qi ‘an did not hear any more strange cries for help. As time went by, his mind calmed down. The pain in his head was still there, but it was not as unbearable as before.

At this time, he had the energy to observe the situation around him.

His colleagues had left long ago to protect the civil and military officials, as well as the members of the imperial family and the Imperial clan.

There was no one on the platform, but the winding corridor was filled with high-ranked martial artists, led by Wei Yuan.

Emperor Yuan jing was nowhere to be found.

What surprised Xu Qi ‘an the most was that the roof beam of the legendary temple where the divine sword was enshrined had been broken, and a big hole had appeared.

Something went wrong during the ancestral worship, and the secret of sang Bo reappeared?

Thoughts flashed through Xu Qian’s mind. He pressed down on his swollen head and gathered with the rest of the team.

Because of his identity as the night watchman, he was not stopped.

“What’s wrong with you?” “How’s your health?” song tingfeng asked as he examined his new colleague.

Song tingfeng didn’t connect the abnormality of the lake with Xu Qi ‘an’s previous behavior.

It was just like how one would not associate the roar of a weak chicken with a magnitude 10 earthquake.

“I’ve been cultivating too hard these days and suffered a backlash.” Xu Qi ‘an found a reasonable explanation and continued, “”It’s a good thing I’ve recovered. By the way, what happened just now?”

“I don’t know,” Song tingfeng shook his head. He glanced around and put on a defensive posture. He said in a low voice, ”

“Yongzhen temple of mountains and rivers suddenly exploded. A sword Qi rushed out of the temple and caused the whole of Sangbo to boil as if there was an earthquake. But looking at the current situation, it doesn’t seem to be an assassin.”

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the high platform again. Was the hole in the roof of the temple pierced by the sword Qi? If the divine sword is this powerful, then the one who asked me for help just now definitely wasn’t a sword spirit.

He lowered his eyes for a moment and collected all his emotions and thoughts. Then he rushed to the eldest princess’s side and cupped his fists, ”

“How is the eldest Princess?”

The scene had returned to order. Although there were whispers everywhere, it was generally very quiet. Everyone was waiting for Emperor Yuan jing to come out.

Xu Qi ‘an’s shout attracted the attention of the people around him. There were his colleagues, the Imperial Army, the eunuchs, the eldest Princess, and the royal family members around her.

The eldest princess’s eyes were beautiful, but her expression was as cold as frost and snow. She tilted her head, and Xu Qi ‘an’s figure was reflected in her limpid eyes. Her voice was cold and crisp like the collision of Jade.

“I’m fine!”

“I’m relieved,” Xu Qi ‘an said, relieved.

He knew when to stop. After making his presence known, he immediately retreated and guarded his surroundings meticulously.

“Huaiqing, this little Gong seems to admire you a lot.” A soft and charming voice sounded. It was the second Princess who was standing behind the eldest Princess.

Huaiqing was the eldest princess’s title, but she preferred to be called the eldest Princess by outsiders.

Emperor Yuan jing once commented that his eldest daughter’s competitiveness was not inferior to that of a man, and her overbearing attitude was not inferior to his.

The second Princess was extremely beautiful. Her round face was embellished with a pair of bright peach blossom eyes. Her red lips were bright, and her every frown and smile always revealed an amorous charm.

They were two beauties, the complete opposite of the eldest Princess. The relationship between the two sisters had never been good.

“I can’t say I admire you,” the eldest Princess said lightly.”I’m just trying to repay your kindness.”

Xu Qi ‘an’s actions in front of the Directorate of Celestials and his attitude just now had successfully established the image of a “grateful and grateful” in the eldest princess’s heart.

The second Princess covered her mouth and chuckled. everyone in the capital knows of sister huaiqing’s charm. The students of Yun Lu Academy are infatuated with you. If even scholars are like this, what more Watchmen? ”

The other princes and princesses watched the show with great interest and did not comment on the second princess’s words.

“Lin an!”

The Crown Prince of the eastern Palace frowned and rebuked, “”Silence.”

...

Lin ‘an was the title of the second Princess. In the face of her brother’s scolding, she pouted and stood up with her head down, putting on a dignified and elegant posture.

The members of the royal family all knew that the eldest Princess and the second Princess were not on good terms.

The eldest Princess was born from the Empress, while the second Princess was born from noble Consort Chen. There was still a difference in status. However, the Imperial consort was more favored than the Empress.

When they were young, the second Princess liked to provoke the eldest Princess and find trouble everywhere.

It was an ordinary seduction, but the eldest Princess was overbearing and unconventional. She asked the servant to capture the second Princess, but the servant did not dare to do it himself. He carried a bamboo scroll and chased after the second Princess.

They fought from the South to the North, and from the north to the south.

The maids and guards in the palace didn’t dare to stop him, and in the end, they disturbed the immortal cultivator Emperor Yuan jing.

Noble Consort Chen brought her bruised and swollen daughter to Sue the eldest Princess. Emperor Yuan jing intended to severely punish the eldest Princess and called her to the Imperial study.

The eldest Princess had long prepared. She had brought over ten sets of books such as the Book of Rites, the general Canon, the law of the palace, and laid them out one by one in the Royal study, introducing classic lines and sighing with emotion.

In the end, after winning the lawsuit, Emperor Yuan jing gloomily declared the eldest Princess not guilty and released her. He went back to cultivate.

After she grew up, the eldest Princess became much more reserved.

...

....

Yongzhen mountain river temple.

A dignified man in a yellow robe and a crown stood with his sword in his hand. The door of the temple was closed. Emperor Yuan jing stood in front of the Dharma laksana of the founding Emperor, silently staring at the dusty copper sword.

“So what if he’s a rank-1? You should have had a long life, but you’ve been affected by the luck of the human world and lived a few more years than ordinary people.” Emperor Yuan jing seemed to be talking to himself, but he also seemed to be conversing with this old ancestor from 600 years ago.

I ascended the throne at the age of twenty and defeated all my enemies. No one could stand shoulder to shoulder with me when I sat in that position. But in the end, I realized that my greatest enemy was time.

Emperor Yuan jing slowly looked away and lowered his head to stare at the ground for a long time. Then, he began to inspect the decorations in the temple. He even climbed up the altar and touched the ancestor’s Dharma form and the brass sword in great disrespect.

The process was long and detailed. Finally, Emperor Yuan jing heaved a sigh of relief.

His expression became relaxed. He knelt on the futon and kowtowed to the founding Emperor three times and nine times. Then, he left the temple of mountains and rivers.

Emperor Yuan jing stood on the high platform and looked down at the officials and the royal family. His voice was like the evening drum and morning bell.”The ancestral worship ceremony will continue.”

He didn’t explain the reason for the abnormality just now.

The five guards of the Imperial Army and the night watchmen dispersed once again, restoring order in an orderly manner as they patrolled the surroundings.

Rows of eunuchs walked quickly with their heads lowered, cleaning up the broken tiles on the high platform, sorting the offerings, and the memorial tablets of the Royal ancestors.

Xu Qi. an returned to his post and muttered in his heart. ” it’s strange. Normally. people with big breasts should be the ones who encountered this during the ancestral worship ... Bah, this was a bad omen. Emperor Yuan jing should be furious.

However, he seemed to be mentally prepared for this, as he did not berate the Duke of Wei and the commanders of the Imperial Guards ... Well, it was not necessarily because he was mentally prepared, but because he knew the true source of the mutation.

And then, this was something that couldn’t be discussed in public.

Sangpo Lake indeed hid a secret that no one knew.
