"At such an emergency, why did Jiujiu suddenly become so ill?" The man's voice was not unfamiliar, and then there was a cool touch on his forehead, "Still having a fever."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Let Jiujiu rest first. I was too impatient. The sudden incident made me confused. Even if Jiujiu wakes up at this time, there is nothing he can do."

The Holy King withdrew his hand on Jiujiu's forehead, and leaned back slightly on the fur-draped chair back.The weather was going to be hot tomorrow, but he was still wrapped in a thick fur coat, and he didn't look very warm.

"Brother, is your health getting worse again?" Bai Lian looked at his pale face worriedly and asked.

The Holy King chuckled, and pampered Bailian's hair with his hands: "If you are really worried about your elder brother, you should take more time to come back to the palace and learn how to govern the country from the gentlemen of the Holy School, so that you can pick me up in the future." class."

"Brother, you know that my ambition is not here... Forget it, if I continue, I want to slip away again. But this time, what is the purpose of calling us all into the palace?" The burden is off.The Holy King was not obsessed with this, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes, which flashed past.

He raised one hand, signaling for a moment's pause: "I'll talk about the specifics when everyone arrives." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Jiujiu, who was still unconscious on the ivy recliner, as if thinking I don't know what I'm thinking.

After a while, people came one after another. Ziqing watched attentively. The Patriarch of the Hua Family who came first came, followed by a young man in a Taoist robe. "Xun Lan sees His Majesty."

This young Taoist priest is dressed in a plain robe, with light eyes, and has an outstanding appearance that makes Zi Qing, who has always been calm, stupefied. have equal shares.Such a character, who actually became a Taoist priest, would really break the hearts of women all over the world.

"I haven't seen you in 20 years, and Patriarch Xun has grown into a figure like a jade tree in the atrium." The Holy King sighed, "When we first met, you and I were just immature urchins..." Jinxi, 20 years later, can be regarded as able They were successively buried.

Xun Lan had been listening with lowered eyes, then slightly raised her head when she heard the words, and exchanged a glance with the Holy King.With the arrival of the next person, he stepped aside, right next to the wicker chair Jiujiu was lying on, and couldn't help but cast a few extra glances at her face.

"Zhong Liang, please refer to Your Majesty." The person who came was Zhong Liang, the Patriarch of the Zhong family who was very good at organ formations. His speech was not smooth as always, but no one in the palace cared about such small details.Because of the unique aura of the people following behind, everyone unconsciously ignored Zhong Liang.

It was a woman over half a hundred years old, but she was dressed extremely coquettishly, her black hair was coiled up high, and there were eight ebony hairpins of spirit snakes on it, and eight silver bells that rang at the head of the hairpins, hanging down by her ears. Two red ribbons about half a palm wide, with some kind of talisman embroidered on them.The lips and the corners of the eyes are extremely bright red, but she is wearing an extremely inappropriate green robe.

She stood at the door, then sat down on the spot, revealing a petite figure behind her.

"Little girl Feng Qi, see Your Majesty."

At the age of eight or nine, the lucky boy who was as cute as a god was expressionless, with two silver-white silk threads wrapped around his fingers, and the other end of the thread was connected to the fingertips of the old woman. The woman had closed her eyes, unable to see any vitality.Ziqing narrowed her eyes slightly, the Feng family, most people don't even know there is such a family.She also learned by chance that the Feng family has always had only one boy and one girl. The man is responsible for carrying on the family line, and the woman can learn the secret arts of the family and gain witch power through the technique of corpse control.I think the old lady has been dead for many years...

The seven families have already arrived at the six houses, and the head of the Lou family has not yet arrived.Luo Wang said: "Everyone is here, Ziqing, please wake up your lady."

Ziqing got the order, she squatted beside the rattan chair, leaned into Jiujiu's ear and said a word, she woke up immediately, which surprised the others.

Xun Lan, who was closer, could hear more clearly what Zi Qing said: "The Seventh Master is back." But he didn't know who the Seventh Master was.

Jiujiu looked around subconsciously, looking for the figure of Master, but after realizing it, she smiled shyly: "Jiujiu is out of manner." She wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by the Holy King: "Patriarch Yue is ill, There is no need to be too polite, everyone please sit down."

Xun Lan and Feng Qi, who had never met Jiujiu before, looked at Jiujiu subconsciously when they heard the words, thinking, it really was her.Especially Feng Qi, whose straight gaze made Jiujiu feel a little chilly.Shengwang introduced the newcomer to Jiujiu, then suddenly paused, and looked at Qinghong: "As for the new head of the Lou family, Yun Zhang, it's you."

It wasn't just Jiujiu and the others who were surprised, even Qinghong herself didn't seem to be able to react.

"It was your uncle Lou Hong who taught you martial arts. Although you were hidden by Lou Hong since you were a child, you still returned to the holy capital because of a chance. Your biological father is already critically ill, and the position of head of the family has been passed on to you, your own son, Lou Yunzhang "He explained a few sentences briefly, and then he didn't intend to continue on such a topic, "I called you here today because the 20-year period has come, and there is a hole in the giant formation of the Yue Kingdom, and it is gradually unable to maintain the original state. Power. And at this time, someone spread such news to the ears of the King of Southern Chu in the west. Southern Chu had been eyeing our country of Yue, and now it has sent troops to invade the country."

The Patriarch of the Hua Family's hand shook slightly, but no one else noticed, but Zi Qing and Qing Hong both saw it.They had suspected the Hua family before, and when they heard the mention from the Holy King, they subconsciously looked at Old Man Hua, and they found something unusual.But presumably it was not he himself who leaked the secret, but his son.

"Jiujiu, what do you think about this?" The Holy King suddenly asked when everyone was silent.

All eyes were on the girl sitting on the chair. She looked a little weak, but she didn't feel weak.The beautiful eyes shone with firm brilliance, and her pale lips kissed: "Your Majesty, since this matter is caused by Jiujiu's own initiative, let Jiujiu do what he can to protect the people of Yue. Time is very short , Jiujiu doesn't know if the Yue Kingdom has no resistance at all, but even so, Jiujiu will not change his decision. I didn't prepare that medicine..."

"The benevolence of a woman! Just by sacrificing one person, you can save millions of people in the Yue Kingdom. I really don't know what your intentions are!"

"Master Hua is not the benevolence of ninety-nine women. Hua Jue, Hua Mian, and Hua Yi are all grandchildren of Master Hua. They are just children who have not experienced much in the world, but they are destined to bear the fate of being abandoned by the world. The second young master once said that as long as Hua Yi is selected, he can inherit the position of Patriarch and enjoy the wealth and glory. To him, that little girl is just a tool. To Master Hua, Hua Han is the same... "

"Shut up! It's just nonsense, it's unreasonable!" Old man Hua was gasping for breath, staring at Jiujiu viciously, but he looked more and more like a poisonous snake that was stepped on seven inches.

Jiujiu's gaze didn't evade at all, and it went straight to his heart: "The children of the Hua family were sent to be raised elsewhere until they died quietly in another garden after 20 years. The heads of other families will also die one after another. , This is endless, and the cycle goes on from generation to generation... But all this is just an illusion. If a country does not have the strength to protect itself, it will not last long if it just hides itself from the world."

"Bold! Do you know what you are talking about?!! You are denying the sacrifices of the predecessors! You are arbitrarily judging the future of Yue!!" Old Man Hua said angrily.

After Jiujiu said so many words, her body was already weak, but now she was panting lightly, her face was on fire, but her eyes were even hotter: "I only know that if people from all over the country know The truth will never be as straightforward as you."

There was no sound in the hall, Patriarch Hua was so blocked that she could only point at Jiujiu with an index finger, trembling unceasingly.
