Nightwatcher

Emperor Yuan Jing was the first to bear the brunt, and fell to the ground amidst the powerful energy fluctuations. The high platform shook violently, and the tablets of the ancestors on the case toppled one after another.

Sacrificial offerings and offering vessels were scattered all over the place, and some of the splashed tiles hit Emperor Yuan Jing's body.

The scene was chaotic in an instant, and the forbidden troops patrolling around quickly gathered their camp and flocked to Sangbo.

Watch out for the watchmen by the lake and rush to the sacrificial team to protect the royal family and civil and military officials.

"There are assassins, protect His Majesty."

"Protect the queen, protect the princess"

"Protect the chief minister"

The figures flickered, and the ten golden gongs who beat the yamen, the masters of the five guards of the imperial army, and the masters of the clan, at least dozens of high-quality warriors soared into the air, landed on the high platform, and in the winding corridors. It is determined that Emperor Yuan Jing will be closely protected.

The commotion only lasted a short dozen or so breaths, because the sword energy piercing the sky quickly dissipated, and the lake returned to calm.

There were no assassins. As the turmoil subsided, everything was stable, and there were no casualties or suspicious persons.

Wei Yuan was the leader in charge of the sacrificial security work. Along the winding water promenade, he strode up to the high platform and bowed:

"The humble minister is negligent, the humble minister deserves to die."

At this time, Emperor Yuan Jing had regained his composure, but after going through this incident, his indifferent fairy spirit had completely disappeared from his eyebrows and eyes.

He is no longer a Taoist who has practiced Taoism for more than 20 years, but a majestic emperor with unfathomable authority.

Emperor Yuan Jing said in a deep voice: "Everyone withdraw from the altar and don't get close."

Including Wei Yuan, all the high-grade warriors got up and agreed.

Emperor Yuan Jing straightened his clothes, brushed off the dust on his clothes, opened the temple door with a serious expression, and entered inside.

Beside the willow tree, Xu Qi'an who yelled did not hear the strange cry for help again. As time passed, his spirit was stabilized, and his head still had post-traumatic pain, but it was no longer as unbearable as before.

Only then did he have the energy to observe the situation around him.

The colleagues around him have already left, protecting the civil and military officials, royal family and clan personnel on the shore.

There was no one on the high platform, but the winding corridors were full of high-quality warriors, the leader being Wei Yuan.

Emperor Yuan Jing disappeared.

What surprised Xu Qi'an the most was that in the legendary temple where the Excalibur was enshrined, the beams on the roof were broken and a big hole appeared.

Something went wrong with the ancestor worship, and the secret of Sangbo reappeared in the world?

Thoughts flashed through Xu Qi'an's mind, and while holding his painful head, he gathered towards the large army.

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

"What's the matter with you?" Song Tingfeng looked at his new colleague: "How is your physical condition?"

Song Tingfeng did not link the abnormality of Sangpo Lake with Xu Qian's abnormality before.

It's like you wouldn't associate the roar of a weak chicken with a magnitude 10 earthquake.

"Practicing too diligently these days has caused backlash." Xu Qi'an found a reasonable explanation, and then said: "Fortunately, I have recovered. By the way, what happened just now?"

"I don't know." Song Tingfeng shook his head, while scanning his surroundings, putting on a defensive posture, he said in a low voice:

"Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen suddenly exploded, and a sword energy rushed out of the temple, causing the whole Sangbo to boil like an earthquake. But judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not an assassin."

Xu Qi'an looked at the high platform again. Was the hole on the top of the temple pierced by sword energy? The Excalibur has this power, so the person who asked me for help just now must not be a sword spirit or something like that.

He lowered his eyes for a moment, calmed down all his emotions, and settled down all his thoughts, then hurried to the Eldest Princess, cupped his fists and said:

"Is the princess all right?"

The scene has returned to order. Although there are whispers everywhere, it is generally very quiet, waiting for Emperor Yuan Jing to come out.

Xu Qi'an's voice attracted people around her to look at her, including the guard's colleagues, the imperial army, the eunuchs, the eldest princess, and the royal family around her.

The eldest princess has gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, but her expression is as cold as frost and snow. She tilted her head, and Xu Qi'an's figure was reflected in her autumn-like eyes, and her voice was as cold and crisp as jade colliding:

"All right!"

Xu Qi'an felt relieved: "You can rest assured of my humble position."

He put it away as soon as he saw it, and after a wave of presence, he immediately backed away, meticulously guarding his surroundings.

"Huaiqing, this little gong admires you very much." A soft and charming voice sounded, it was the second princess behind the eldest princess.

Huaiqing is the title of the eldest princess, but she prefers outsiders to call her the eldest princess.

Emperor Yuan Jing once commented on this eldest daughter, she is as competitive as a man, and as domineering as me.

The second princess has a very beautiful appearance, her round face is embellished with a pair of bright peach blossom eyes, her red lips are bright, every frown and smile always reveals amorous charm.

The two beauties are diametrically opposed to the eldest princess. The relationship between the sisters has always been bad.

The eldest princess said indifferently: "It's not admiration, it's just a repayment."

Xu Qi'an's foreshadowing in Si Tianjian, as well as his posture just now, successfully established the image of "repaying kindness" in the heart of the eldest princess.

The second princess covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister Huaiqing's charm is well known in the capital, and the students of Yunlu Academy are fascinated by you. Even scholars are like this, let alone beating people."

The other princes and princesses happily ate melons and watched the excitement, and did not comment on the words of the second princess who hid the needle in the cotton.

"Lin'an!"

The Crown Prince of Donggong frowned and reprimanded: "Be quiet."

Lin'an is the title of the second princess. Faced with her elder brother's scolding, she curled her lips, and stood with her head bowed gracefully, showing a dignified and elegant demeanor.

All the royal family members knew that the eldest princess and the second princess were not compatible.

The eldest princess was born by the queen, and the second princess was born by Chen Guifei, so there is still a difference in status. But the imperial concubine is more favored than the queen.

When she was young, the second princess liked to provoke the eldest princess, finding fault everywhere.

It was a very common Tian family's intrigue, but the eldest princess was domineering and independent. She asked her servants to capture the second princess, but the servant didn't dare, so she did it herself, carrying a roll of bamboo slips, and chased the second princess. The princess fights.

From south to north, from north to south.

The maids and guards in the palace did not dare to stop them, and finally disturbed Emperor Yuan Jing who was cultivating immortals.

Concubine Chen took her daughter with a bruised nose and swollen face to sue the eldest princess. Emperor Yuan Jing planned to punish the eldest princess severely and called her to the imperial study.

The eldest princess had been prepared for a long time, and brought more than a dozen sets of books, such as "Book of Rites", "Tongdian", and "Gonglu", and laid them out one by one in the imperial study room, quoting classic sentences and expressing emotion.

In the end, he won the lawsuit, and Emperor Yuan Jing dejectedly acquitted the eldest princess, and went back to cultivate immortality by himself.

After becoming an adult, the eldest princess became more restrained.

Yongzhen Shanhe Temple.

A majestic man in a yellow robe and a crown stood with a sword, and the temple gate was closed. Emperor Yuan Jing stood in front of the founding emperor's portrait, silently staring at the dusty bronze sword.

"So what about Yipin? You, who are supposed to have a long lifespan, are not burdened by luck in the world, and live a few years longer than ordinary people?" Emperor Yuan Jing seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be with this Talking to an ancestor six hundred years ago:

"I ascended the throne at the age of twenty and defeated all enemies. Sitting in that position, no one can stand beside me again. But in the end I discovered that the biggest enemy is time."

Emperor Yuan Jing slowly looked away, lowered his head and stared at the ground under his feet for a long time. Then, he began to check the furnishings in the temple, and even climbed up to the altar, touching the ancestor's statue and the brass sword disrespectfully.

This process was meticulous and lengthy. In the end, Emperor Yuan Jing let out a sigh of relief.

His expression became relaxed, he knelt on the futon, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the Founding Emperor, and then left Yongzhen Shanhe Temple.

Emperor Yuan Jing stood on a high platform, overlooking the civil and military officials and the royal clan, his voice was like a drum at dusk and a bell in the morning: "The ceremony of worshiping the ancestors continues."

He didn't explain the reason for the anomaly just now.

The five guards of the imperial army and the guards dispersed again, restored order in an orderly manner, and patrolled the surrounding area.

A row of eunuchs bowed their heads and walked quickly, clearing the broken tiles on the high platform, sorting the tribute offerings, and the tablets of the royal family's ancestors.

Xu Qi'an returned to the guard position again, muttering in his heart, it's very strange, it stands to reason that this kind of thing happened when worshiping the ancestors, it's a big boobs, a bad omen, Emperor Yuan Jing should be furious.

But he seemed to be psychologically prepared for this, and he didn't angrily reprimand Wei Gong and the commanders of the imperial guards. Well, it's not necessarily psychological preparation, but knowing the real source of the mutation.

Then again, this is something that cannot be talked about in public.

Sure enough, Sangbo Lake hides a secret that no one knows.
