Chapter 250: A Hundred Years
Thunder tore through the dark sky, and the torrential rain poured down, completely shrouding the once prosperous imperial city in the vast wind and rain, and the lights of thousands of houses that were brightly lit all night in the imperial city gradually gradually It dimmed, leaving only the rain falling freely without any scruples.
In a luxurious and exquisite warm pavilion, a young man dressed in bright yellow brocade picked up a tea cup, took a sip, listened to the continuous sound of rain outside the window, shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today."
"Tonight there is such a heavy wind and rain, it is the perfect weather for visiting guests. Prince Tetsu is just resting here for one night, so what can he do?"
A girl wearing only a white hazy gauze came closer and put her head on the young man's shoulder. A few strands of hair were hanging down, and her slender white hands gently caressed the young man's face.
The young man in brocade clothes grabbed the girl's hand and said, "Rou'er, today I..."
Before he finished speaking, the door of the pavilion was pushed open.
"Your Majesty, please report urgently!"
A forbidden soldier in black armor, covered in wind, rain and cold, stood upright at the door of the attic with a solemn expression.
Tetsuko frowned, let go of the girl's hand, waved his sleeves and said: "No matter what happens, as the head of Longwu of the Royal Forbidden Army, how can you behave like this when you lose your composure?"
The black-armored imperial guard did not retreat as he was told, but his expression became more anxious. He glanced at the girl beside Tetsuo, and no longer wanted to avoid suspicion, he took a few steps forward and whispered: "Under the prince's residence, in the palace There is news that the Queen Mother is ill and is now completely unconscious. I am afraid she will not survive the night."
Xu Che could no longer care about the beauty behind him, stood up suddenly, looked solemn, and said in a cold voice: "Is this serious?"
"How dare you deceive Your Majesty the Crown Prince!" The black-armored imperial guard looked in the direction of the palace, "Your Majesty the Crown Prince has been lingering in the Red Sleeve Tower today. When the news came just now, the Queen Mother was already dying. If she doesn't go now, she will really It’s going to be late.”
"Then what are you waiting for? Take me there quickly!"
The black-armored imperial army nodded in agreement, the storage ring on his finger moved slightly, and a wide spiritual weapon sword emerged, directly leading Xu Che into a bright sword light and flew to the direction of the palace.
Although Xu Che also has several spiritual weapons in his body, his light escaping speed is far inferior to that of Longwu Dutou, who is in the Qi Sea Peak realm. At this time, in the thunderstorm, standing on the head of Longwu Dutou, this broad spiritual weapon is long. On top of the sword, looking at the palace getting closer and closer, he murmured to himself: "If the Queen Mother dies, I wonder if that...will come."
But after a moment, he threw away this ridiculous idea in his mind. The Lord who was now in the state of distraction was the most powerful person in the Shangqing Holy Sect. How could he come to this little man? In the Chu realm?
Moreover, as early as more than a hundred years ago, that person had directly given the Chu Kingdom to the Xu family. He also made the Xu family the only royal family in this realm. He also gave countless opportunities to connect him with the Xu family. The bloodline karma is completely over.
In the torrential rain that covered the entire Chu realm, hundreds of sword lights of various colors rose from all over the Chu realm, streaking across the sky rapidly, all heading towards the imperial city and palace.
…
Although Jin Yu still looked like a woman in her thirties at this time, the deathly aura emanating from her body became stronger and stronger, as if she was about to completely close her eyes and die in the next moment.
In this extremely luxurious palace, there were already many people gathered a few feet in front of his bed, all with expressions of grief on their faces.
"Your Majesty, the old master is here."
A body exuding the aura of Qi Sea Peak Realm
The attendant came into the palace, walked quickly to Xu Fu, who was wearing an imperial crown, and whispered.
Xu Fu's face was complicated, he sighed softly, turned around and waved his sleeves and said: "You can go out first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As everyone in the hall exited one by one, a man slowly walked in.
Even though he has been in charge of the entire Chu Kingdom for decades, Xu Fu still did not treat Xu Xiao lightly. He stepped forward and said, "Father."
Xu Xiao, who has been taking elixirs such as beauty and Qi nourishing pills all year round, still looks like a handsome young man, but there is a look of exhaustion on his face. He glanced at Jin Yu, who was still unconscious on the couch, and sighed: " Martial arts innates have a lifespan of two hundred years, but Yu'er only has a lifespan of more than a hundred years..."
Although Jin Yu is not Xu Fu's biological mother, her status is extremely aloof in the Chu realm due to the power of the Lord of the Distracting God Realm, and no one dares to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Xu Fu stepped forward to support Xu Xiao, who seemed very tired, and said: "Since my Xu family took charge of the Chu Kingdom more than a hundred years ago, Queen Mother Jin has become more preoccupied every day. I have been promoted to the level of martial arts innate and can live for two hundred years, and I have taken a lot of pills that can slightly extend my life. However, this heart disease is difficult to cure, and there is no way to save me. I hope my father can express my condolences."
Although he said this, he knew that Xu Xiao had almost no sadness at all, and she had just come from the palace of a new and beautiful concubine, so she was so tired.
This Chu Kingdom, this Xu family, that shocking opportunity more than a hundred years ago, should have been shouldered by Xu Xiao in his prime, but he directly threw the burden to Xu Fu and asked him to do this Your Majesty, I am in charge of the Chu Kingdom, which covers hundreds of thousands of miles.
Over the years, Xu Xiao returned to Youzhou alone, where the ancestors of the Xu family lived, indulging in the sounds of dogs and horses, living in drunken dreams, and almost never entering the imperial city of the Central Empire.
Because of the existence in the Shangqing spiritual world, the Chu realm is particularly special among the many secret realms of the Shangqing Holy Sect. Although that existence has long been completely separated from the Xu family in the Chu realm, those in the affairs hall But those who are good at flattering others don't know.
After more than a hundred years, that being has now reached the realm of distraction, and has fully differentiated into six primordial spirits!
Except for the spirits in the Mirage Sea Fantasy Realm, even in the Pure Spirit Realm of the Pure Spirit Sea, the Immortal Yuan Lord has already surpassed the other Lords of the Dividing Spirit Realm, and is second only to the Tai of the Eight Paths of Divided Spirits. The supreme existence of the First Lord.
The Chu Realm is constantly being taken care of by the Lingyuan Hall, the Secret Realm Department and other branch halls of the Affairs Hall, and its share of resources is increasing. For the Chu Realm, where most of the people are mortals, these resource shares are almost useless. over.
Although almost all members of the Xu family are not in the spiritual root sequence, it has become the biggest pain point for the Xu family in the Chu realm.
The lower spiritual root sequence is the third-grade profound veins, the second-grade profound veins, and the first-grade profound veins.
But many members of the Xu family have never even appeared in the lower spiritual root sequence in the past hundred years or so, and are unable to cultivate mysteries!
Although it is possible to forcibly upgrade to the innate level of martial arts by relying on external force, the Xu family members cannot even see the miraculous way of cultivating the mysteries.
After all, martial arts innates only have a lifespan of two hundred years. Time flies. Over the past one hundred years, almost all the main people in power in the Xu family have changed. Xu Qinying, Xu Chaoyang and other older generations of the Xu family have At this time, he has completely fallen into silence, and he can almost only wait quietly for his life span to run out.
Jin Yu still had several decades to live, but ever since the Holy Son of Xianyuan completely severed her ties with the Xu family, she had suffered from heart disease. Although she was surrounded by glory and wealth, she had no happiness at all. Word.
Xu Fu and Ye Zhaixing had an old grudge for a long time. Decades ago, Ye Zhaixing was "exposed" and was guilty of making false remarks about the royal family in private. She was executed by Xu Fu, who was in charge of the Chu Kingdom, which made her lose her only love. daughter Xu Yan.
From then on, Jin Yu's heart disease became more and more serious, and he spent decades in extreme loneliness. Now he no longer has any nostalgia for this world, and his mind has completely collapsed. Even though he has not yet reached his longevity, his heart is dead.
Xu Xiao pushed Xu Fu away, took a few steps forward, looked at Jin Yu on the couch, with a complicated look in her eyes, and said, "Yu'er."
But he didn't get any response.
Behind him, Xu Fu showed a mocking smile.
Among the queen mothers, only Jin Yu can be directly called the queen mother, and the other queen mothers will all have their surnames added to them. This is enough to show Jin Yu's special status in the Chu realm.
Although he was born to Empress Dowager Liu, he was still very respectful to Jin Yu. As his husband-in-law, Xu Xiao had already driven Jin Yu to the imperial city in the central empire, and lived alone in Youzhou, living in dreams and dying. We haven't seen each other for nearly a hundred years.
Xu Xiao pretended to be affectionate this time. Even though Xu Fu was his direct heir, he still had some disdain for him.
Jin Yu's eyes were dim, with several inexplicable lights and shadows flashing from time to time. Xu Xiao's voice was vaguely heard in his ears, and the deepest memory rolled out again. The child seemed to be standing in front of him, watching quietly. Holding her.
…
Zhenhai Fucheng in the past.
"You've been away for ten years, and you're leaving as soon as you come back?"
My heart was full of nostalgia, but what I showed was anxiety and anger.
"Mother, Sheng'er has something to do of her own."
The young man was extremely handsome, wearing a complicated dark black Taoist robe. He gently brushed away the hand he was holding and turned around.
…
In front of Juying Hall.
The middle-aged Taoist walked towards the carriage, and his voice clearly reached the ears of the Xu family: "Follow me."
The child who was only five years old did not hesitate at all, but just turned around and took a deep look at himself, then turned around and got on the carriage.
…
The deepest part of memory.
Xun Niang hugged him and smiled at herself: "Miss Yu, you are a young master!"
The emotions in her heart were completely filled with the joy and urgency of becoming a mother for the first time. She struggled to get up, but she still lay back on the couch exhausted.
At that time, I was still a girl in her teens, with a smile on her young face: "Bring her over and show me."
…
"Sheng'er, maybe you weren't really yourself at that time, but my mother still hopes that you can truly accomplish what you want to do."
Jin Yu slightly opened his eyes that were already filled with mist, and seemed to really see the young man far away in the morning and evening world. Crystal tears rolled down the sides of his cheeks, and he chuckled and murmured.
"Yu'er, what did you say?"
Although Xu Xiao was gifted in martial arts, her body had long been drained by alcohol and sex. Even if she regularly took some life-extending and tonic elixirs, it was of no avail. At this time, she couldn't hear Jin Yu's soft murmurs clearly.
Jin Yu didn't look at him at all, her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep completely.
Another bolt of thunder tore through the sky of Chu Realm with a loud explosion.
One day later, the violent wind and rain gradually subsided, and the majestic imperial city once again returned to its former bustle and bustle.
