The overthrow of the Xia family overnight left the entire city with lingering fears, especially those court officials who usually had a lot of unclear connections with monks outside the city. They were even more frightened at this moment. Previously, Zuo Wei was everywhere in the city. When catching ghosts, although they were alert, they didn't pay too much attention. After all, they felt that as long as they paid enough attention, no one would know about these things. At least that was what they thought at the time, but Now that the behemoth of the Xia family has fallen, they, as a group of people, should finally understand it. Perhaps the emperor can clearly see all the things they do in daily life, and the sword hanging on the Overhead, when will it fall?

Some people frantically began to make amends, burning all the letters they had with Fang Wai, and then walking on thin ice every day. But after a few days, until the Lantern Festival came, there was no action on Zuowei's side, and the guarding envoy's Yamen There was no movement around, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the stone in their hearts was still hanging on them, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

But fortunately, everything is fine.

After His Majesty the Emperor returned to the Divine Capital, he did not hold a court meeting or summon his ministers. This made many courtiers confused, but some people understood that His Majesty, who was seriously injured, was recovering from his injuries at the moment and had no time to take care of other things. Once the time comes, His Majesty the Emperor has fully recovered from his injuries, fearing that there will be another purge.

So people are waiting for the first court meeting since the New Year.

When everyone's eyes were on Emperor Liang at the moment, they naturally forgot about Chen Chao for the time being. In fact, Chen Chao's life was not easy these days. He was seriously injured by a casual blow from Emperor Liang. First It was a good day, and I could still walk back to the lakeside courtyard. From the second day on, it was difficult for me to even sit up. The injury was too serious, and the powerful aura of Emperor Liang was wandering in his meridians. Chen Chao couldn't stop him at all, he could only let the aura patrol his body wantonly, and his original energy was also suppressed, making him worse than an ordinary person at this moment.

He has been feeling groggy these past few days and rarely wakes up.

Fortunately, this was in the academy and in Xie Nandu's small courtyard. It was relatively safe and Xie Nandu was with him day and night. This made Chen Chao feel more at ease. 🄲

A few days later, Chen Chao got up from the bed with difficulty, glanced at the girl who was studying by the window, opened his white lips, and snorted hoarsely. Xie Nandu turned his head, looked at this guy, and asked "Not dead yet?"

Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "Life is worse than death."

There was pain in his body all the time at this moment. At this moment, he didn't know whether it was Emperor Liang's intention or whether it was the original injury. Anyway, it was extremely uncomfortable, so he could only suffer silently.

Xie Nandu came to the bedside, took out a small white jade bottle, and said, "Open your mouth."

Chen Chao didn't know why, but he still opened his mouth honestly. Xie Nandu poured out the elixir from the small white jade bottle, stretched out his fingers and put the elixir into Chen Chao's mouth, and then asked, "How?"

Chen Chao smacked his lips and said, "It's a bit salty."

. "

Xie Nandu's cheeks were slightly red and he was a little dissatisfied.

"This pill is very expensive. Xie doesn't have many pills. Do you owe me one more time?"

Xie Nandu took back the jade bottle and looked at Chen Chao.

Chen Chao said helplessly, "Since this comes from Mr. Xie, shouldn't I owe Mr. Xie once?"

Xie Nandu said calmly, "Just owe me."

She said this very carefully, and Chen Chao didn't think about it deeply. He didn't care too much. Owing a favor to the girl he liked was the smallest thing in the world.

Xie Nandu glanced at Chen Chao and said softly, "Commander Song has come to ask several times. It's time to give him your official seal."

Chen Chao frowned and muttered, "How long have I been the commander? Why do I have to return it to him again?"

Regarding Song Lian, Chen Chao felt relieved. The relationship between the two was very subtle, and he didn't know whether they could be called friends.

However, he still quickly took out the official seal of the Zuowei commander from his arms. It was a good thing that Song Lian returned to God. As a young man, he was not that easy to handle the Zuowei matter, so he left it to Song Lian. That's good, but he immediately asked, "Where is the deputy commander? Can you keep it for me?"

Xie Nandu was too lazy to answer this question and just said to himself, "The Xia family is gone. It has been found out these days. The crime of colluding with Fang Wai has been determined. The whole clan will be beheaded."

Chen Chao was stunned and asked, "How many people will be killed?"

Xie Nandu didn't take it seriously, "Compared with back then, His Majesty has been very restrained, but for this crime, I didn't expect it."

After that night, it has long been a consensus that Xia Clan must be destroyed, but how it will be destroyed has actually been speculated by various forces in the city of God. There are countless charges that can be placed on Xia Clan, but no one has. Come to think of it, it turned out to be a simple and direct one in the end.

Chen Chao sighed with emotion, "This is killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Your Majesty's courage is truly unparalleled."

Xie Nandu nodded, "It should be like this, so that the monks outside Fang know that today's Daliang Dynasty is not something they can bully at will."

Chen Chao said oh and said nothing. He was too lazy to think about these things. Anyway, after all, no one could change the decision made by Emperor Liang.

Xie Nandu said, "Now everyone is wondering whether the Xia family is, so everyone is watching this first court meeting."

"Some people even think that after the Mobei party, His Majesty died of serious injuries. This was because he wanted to clear the way for His Majesty to be the emperor in the future, so there are still many people wondering which prince will take the throne in the future."

Chen Chao shook his head and said softly

He said, "He won't die now, and he may not die in the future."

Xie Nandu also agreed with this statement. After all, if His Majesty the Emperor was really seriously injured and died, he should not do this and should try his best to repair the relationship with the monk outside.

Chen Chao suddenly said, "I even doubt that he took another step forward."

As soon as he said this, Xie Nandu became a little silent.

Emperor Daliang was already a powerful figure at the end of Wangyou. He had long been the most powerful warrior in the world. Such a figure could even be compared with the master of Chixin Guan. Now if he takes another step forward, what will happen? concept?

"Are you sure?" Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao with questions in his eyes.

Chen Chao shook his head, "It's just a feeling, I'm really not sure."

Xie Nandu exhaled a breath and chuckled, "In any case, your Majesty is stronger, which is always a good thing for the Liang Dynasty."

Chen Chao still shook his head.

This is not necessarily true. The stronger the Emperor of Daliang, the greater the threat to the monks outside Fangwai. How could they allow the most powerful monks in the world to be not the big shots outside Fangwai, but the Emperor of Daliang? A peerless martial artist?

Xie Nandu changed the topic and said, "Do you think a certain prince was involved in the turmoil in the city of God a few days ago?"

In that turmoil in the divine capital, monks outside the country were involved, and a certain prince seemed to have expressed his covetousness for the throne. So to make it clear, would Emperor Liang clean them up?

Chen Chao shook his head. He couldn't see through Emperor Liang at all.

Although the Tian family is said to have no relatives, if he really has to face his own heir, will Emperor Liang be soft-hearted?

In other words, these children were all born to his queen after all. Would Emperor Liang choose to let them go for this reason?

Xie Nandu didn't take it seriously and said, "Your Majesty has returned to the Divine Capital, so all the plans in the Divine Capital are meaningless, because this is His Majesty's Divine Capital, and no one can do anything. They just need to wait for the results."

Chen Chao remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Xie Nandu stood up, "Senior brother, I'm still waiting for my sword practice. You should digest the power of the elixir first. If you can move around, it's best to go see the commander. He seems to be very impatient."

After saying this, without waiting for Chen Chao's reaction, Xie Nandu turned around and walked out of the room.

"By the way, if you have time, bake two."

Xie Nandu finally said these words and left.

After the New Year, the heavy snowfall in Shendu will be much lighter than before. There is only a slight amount of flying snow in the sky today, and it doesn't matter whether you hold an umbrella or not.

…

…

After Xie Nandu left, Chen Chao also sat up cross-legged again, taking advantage of the power of the pill to take effect.

He adjusted his body and started to operate according to the mysterious scriptures recorded on the girl's coffin. Just one week later, he was surprised to find that Emperor Liang's casual blow seemed to be merciless, but In fact, the other injuries on his body were cured together. Now he only needs to function for a few days, and the injuries that originally required rest for a long time are almost healed.

Although his uncle didn't seem to treat him as a nephew at all, he actually gave him great benefits.

After all, is he just a cold-hearted person?

Chen Chao shook his head. He didn't think so. How could such an emperor be so easy to see through?

After thinking about it, Chen Chao quickly calmed down and began to immerse himself in breath control.

Two hours later, he opened his eyes, his face was much rosy, and he exhaled a mouthful of white mist. Chen Chao felt much better.

After thinking about it, he suddenly took out the paper full of golden words from his arms. He got this page from Chongming Sect and had saved him several times. The special smell on the paper could even make a person... The Wangyou state is intimidating, but the real mystery is not the smell on the paper, but the words on the paper.

That may contain a secret.

One does not belong to this era, and the other belongs to the unknown secret of practice.

This secret may even go beyond the realm of forgetfulness and point to a higher realm of practice than the realm of forgetfulness.

Thinking of this, Chen Chao held his breath and looked up at the paper. Just when his eyes fell on the first word on the paper, a very strong breath suddenly burst out from the paper, that invisible The aura was like countless sharp flying swords, all of them surged out at this moment, piercing his eyes.

Chen Chao frowned, and the white mist in his body began to circulate involuntarily, gathering into his eyes, trying to counteract these auras!

The two collided, and countless qi machines entangled each other here, making Chen Chao feel more and more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, every time he beat his body, he had to endure unbearable pain, and now he can bear it with difficulty.

Chen Chao stared at the golden paper in front of him. His eyes moved up and landed on the word at the top. He wanted to see clearly what that word was!

But his eyes couldn't converge, they just kept diverging.

There was only a golden light in his sight, and in the very center, there was only a crack in the golden light.

Chen Chao tried his best to look towards the crack.

Finally, behind those golden lights, Chen Chao saw a word.

That is not today's writing, it is a writing that does not exist in this world.

Chen Chao didn't know him.

But in his mind at this moment, he understood the meaning of this word.

This word means...me.

I? !
