Chapter 749 Apocalypse(1/2)
Chapter 749 Apocalypse
If you travel through ancient Chinese well, how can you develop into fantasy literature? Xiao Ying said that something like vortex should have changed from the bottom of the river.
Xie Jixin seemed reluctant to recall these things, and his whole body was trembling and he looked extremely scared.
"That's a matter... I think the county magistrate dared not report randomly. As soon as he received the report, the late emperor sent someone to secretly pass on the imperial edict, urging the county magistrate not to spread it. Such things will never be a good thing when they are spreading. Those who are good at it will use this kind of thing to attack the powerful and powerful.
And if it is known to everyone, everyone will squeeze into Tongguan. If something really happens, it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath. Later, the emperor announced that I entered the palace and secretly gave me a secret decree, so he asked me to go to Tongguan in the name of disaster relief. We must figure out what happened in Tongjiang? We must strictly prevent external propaganda. The county magistrate also knew that if such a thing was spread, the superiors would definitely blame him, so he kept ordering the people in the town not to spread it. Tongguan is located in a remote place, and few outsiders come here. So until I arrived in Tongguan, the news was really not leaked."
Xiao Ying sighed softly in her heart.
If it were in modern times, this news would be known to everyone in the world in one day.
Traffic here is not smooth and news is blocked.
So such a strange thing was actually covered by Emperor Geng.
I don’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. But thinking about the final outcome of the people of Tongguan, this is a devastating bad thing for the thousands of people of Tongguan.
If it was spread out immediately, it would be known to everyone, and it would not be so easy for Emperor Geng to do it.
And those thousands of people in Tongguan... may not die.
"Tongguan is just a small place, and there are no people walking around. As long as the people don't go around, it's not difficult to hide things." Lou Boyun thought Xiao Ying's expression was incomprehensible, so he explained specifically.
I think this queen is from Xiao after all.
The customs and conditions here are completely different. I heard that the Xiao family members are all tough and live very scattered. They rely on horses to convey information. They don’t need to hide any news, but instead hope that the news will fly over the grassland with wings. Lou Boyun took a break from his busy schedule and thought.
My originally depressed mood became a little relieved because of explaining to Xiao Ying.
This queen is such a treasure. No matter when it comes, it seems that as long as she is there, it will make people feel better.
Gedi was so lucky to have taken her. Lou Boyun fully admired and admired Xiao Ying, and felt that Feng Ge and his wife were simply omnipotent.
The old case of Emperor Geng’s 20th year actually happened to be the day when the world was full of...
The truth about his little aunt was revealed. Although he was so late, he could at least comfort his little aunt's spirit in heaven.
"Yes. Most of the people are timid. After a few words of scare, no one dared to speak randomly. I arrived at Tongguan and the county magistrate accompanied him to Tongjiang to check. The Tongjiang River is very wide, and when the weather is good, the white waves are rolling, which looks very spectacular. But what I saw that day may never be forgotten in this life.
I saw more than a dozen large and small whirlpools on the surface of Tongjiang River. Some of the dead branches and leaves of the upstream passed by the whirlpools and were stirred into the bottom of the lake by the whirlpools. According to the county magistrate, the whirlpools sometimes change their direction, sometimes suddenly increase a few, and sometimes less, which looks very strange. As for what it is? No one knows. Even the old people who have lived in Tongguan for generations have never seen such a scene."
Xie Jixin's words made several people look surprised.
I couldn't help but imagine the picture that Xie Jixin said. On the wide river surface, more than a dozen whirlpools whistling and rotating, and all the things passing by near it were rolled into the bottom of the river.
In addition, the Tongjiang River is already surging, so you can imagine how shocking that scene would be.
The reason for the formation of vortex is nothing more than gravity and velocity. However, none of these two points are suitable for explanation here. However, the vortex of Tongjiang suddenly appears, and its position will change and its size will change.
This is more like...
"What after that? Did the vortex suddenly make a sudden news a few days later, and something was washed to the shore?"
Xiao Ying suddenly spoke, and Xie Jixin's face was filled with surprise. Just now, Lou Boyun praised Changning as a flower. He was smart and capable, and he was simply omnipotent. Xie Jixin didn't care.
But Xiao Ying's casual words made Xie Jixin's face change drastically.
How did she guess?
"It seems that yes. What happened? It shocked the late emperor. I would rather give up thousands of people than cover up the truth?"
"...The Empress is smart and there is something really coming out of water." Xie Jixin nodded.
Then he looked at Xiao Ying, and Xiao Ying blinked. What? Did she ask her to continue guessing? Is there a prize? "If the Empress can guess what it is? I will tell the truth about what the Empress didn't find."
"What is the one that the Empress can't find? Xie Jixin, don't be slanderous."
"I did leave with disaster relief food back then. Since Tongjiang was not really a food disaster, where did that batch of food... go? Don't you want to know?"
Yun Chi looked at Xiao Ying, and Lou Boyun also looked at Xiao Ying. Because the answer to this question is... I want to know.
If there was no disaster, what about that batch of food? Xiao Ying never believed that Xie Jixin had such a courage to embezzle the batch of disaster relief food. He would dare to play around with it in a small way. The money was exchanged for silver, which was at least 100,000 taels.
If Xie Jixin dared to embezzle him, Emperor Geng would probably tear him to pieces.
However, there is no such hint to guess. She is not a god, and her guesses are based on certain reasons.
Guessing the news about vortex, something came out of water because Xiao Ying felt that the reason for the formation of those vortexes was not natural. Instead, there was something at the bottom of the river, so naturally, it was impossible to examine what was in the bottom of the river?
Ancient tomb?
Natural pits?
Xiao Ying could only think of this. Xiao Ying guessed that it should be that the underworld of Tongjiang River was leaking. The nephew of the river would form a whirlpool.
The reason for the loopholes below is that something breaks through the barrier. In the end, the river water is filled with loopholes. The thing is dense and cannot float up, but the water flow of Tongjiang should rush it to the shore.
Anyway, it should be a very heavy and big thing.
And it would make Emperor Geng care about what he would rather smooth the entire Tongguan than cover it. What would it be?
"Mr. Xie is trying to make things difficult for me. Mr. Xie doesn't even have a prompt. Just let me guess... it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But I have always been lucky, and as long as I speak, most of them are right. So I guess... I should have rushed out something like a divine beast. This thing is not a stone or a jade, which is lighter than a stone jade. It is all... vivid and vivid. Moreover, there must be some engraved on the divine beast... people are living in misery, disasters are rampant, and there may be words that imply the last emperor. In short, it is a Geng Emperor who was reminded of the court at that time."
Yun Chi's brows stretched out.
I thought to myself that this girl is indeed smart.
Such a guess is really the most likely.
Lou Boyun looked admiring. He thought the woman was more meticulous. He vaguely guessed that something should have come out of water, but he really couldn't guess what had something to do with the whirlpool.
Then several people looked at Xie Jixin.
Xie Jixin smiled bitterly. "Yes, the Empress guessed it well. It is almost the same as the truth..."
"I said, I have always been lucky." Xiao Ying attributed everything to luck. After all, some things are really difficult to explain. "Luck is also a skill. The empress does not have to be modest. Now that I think Lai Fei'er is defeated by you, it is reasonable."
Xiao Ying thought to herself that Sheffield was not worthy of being her rival.
Because Feng Ge never fell in love with Sheffield from beginning to end.
Not to mention being moved, Feng Ge probably doesn't remember much about Sheffield's appearance. However, it seems that it is not the time to stimulate Xie Jixin, so Xiao Ying responded silently.
After Xie Jixin muttered, he saw that Xiao Ying did not refute. He felt really two points wide open in his heart.
If Xiao Ying refuted and said that Sheffield was not worthy of comparing her, Xie Jixin might not have told her secret so happily.
"It is a five-clawed dragon-shaped divine beast, with all the tails. It is indeed as the Empress said, it is black all over, but it is neither stone nor jade. It is indeed lighter than stone jade if it can be washed ashore. The entire blessed beast is ten feet long.
Whether it is dragon scales or dragon whiskers, they are all lifelike.
And the dragon is indeed engraved with words. The engraved is: Emperor Feng is here, disasters arise. Emperor Feng is here, water and fire are here. Emperor Feng is here, in the abyss.
It was originally a dragon-shaped divine beast, and the Phoenix Emperor was carved on it. Moreover, this divine beast does not look like it was carved by humans, it is too lifelike. If anyone had such skills, he would definitely be a famous craftsman in the world, and this thing came from the bottom of the Tongjiang River. The danger of the Tongjiang River is well known to everyone. Who can sink this thing into the heart of the Tongjiang River?
What's more, there are whirlpools, which can only be created by gods.
This is apocalypse.”
As soon as the word "Apocalypse" came out, except for Xiao Ying, the expressions of several people changed slightly.
"It's written on it...Phoenix Emperor?"
Yun Chi asked coldly. Xie Jixin nodded. "Yes, Emperor Feng! It's clear. But the font is a bit difficult to tell, and it looks more like the shape of the characters thousands of years ago. It also has some meanings in it, but the word Emperor Feng can still be recognized."
Emperor Feng does not refer to Feng Geng specifically.
As long as the emperor surnamed Feng is called Emperor Feng.
Moreover, Xie Jixin’s questions were also the questions of everyone. A lifelike dragon-shaped beast that was ten feet long, neither stone nor jade, the whirlpool on the Tongjiang River, and the three disasters of the Phoenix Emperor carved on the dragon.
"You can think about it, what was my mood at that time? It was so collapsed. I asked someone to cover the thing and then went back to the capital without stopping. I didn't dare to submit a memorial... Because the matter was too big. I returned to the capital secretly, so no one knew about it. The late emperor quietly asked me to enter the palace and I reported the matter truthfully.
Emperor Geng was furious.”
"Wait, why did Emperor Geng get angry?"
"... Shouldn't you be angry? Disasters are coming from heaven!" Xie Jixin asked back.
Xiao Ying shook her head gently. "It's the Apocalypse, and the late emperor shouldn't be angry, but frightened. Xie Jixin, what else did you say?"
Xie Jixin's face changed slightly.
"What else can I say? It's all to tell the truth. The late emperor was angry or shocked... it was not something I could control."
"No, you can control it. If you really tell the truth, what does this matter have to do with the people of Tongguan? Why did the late emperor scold the 'distorted people' in the court? Xie Jixin, when the matter is about to come, you are not telling it truthfully... It's really... I won't cry until I see the coffin."
Xiao Ying's expression suddenly changed.
His tone also became a little sharper. Xie Jixin was a little surprised. He might not have expected that his words that seemed to be flawless were instantly criticized.
A word of "unlucky people" can make his words fail. This queen is simply a monster.
Yun Chi is smart enough, Lou Boyun is not bad either. Neither of them can hear anything wrong, but such a little girl found the mistake.
"I try to bring myself in. The Apocalypse, and Emperor Feng's reign has caused troubles... If I know, I will be shocked and afraid at the first time. Then I think about the aftermath. If it cannot be spread, the Feng family's country will not be protected. How can I stop the spread of the news? This is simple, just cut off the source of the spread. I think not everyone in Tongguan knows the saying of the Apocalypse. Then why... Emperor Geng's order was to... erase the entire Tongguan city from the territory. Xie Jixin, give me a reasonable explanation."
"I don't know. I will execute whatever order I got from the late emperor. The late emperor was worried that the matter would spread, so he issued a ban order. I don't want to commit murder in vain. But, as a minister, I dare to disobey? It is useless for the Empress to insist on asking questions like this, because I don't know the answer."
Xie Jixin still sticks to his own opinions.
To be continued...
