Chapter 13 Chapter 13
The next day.

The general also practiced this skill, supplemented by Zhang Yuanqing's spiritual power and heart method, and he also achieved great success.

The skill has reached the late stage of the Great Heaven.

However, Hou Qing and Welding Ba have their own internal skills, so they will not easily switch to cultivation.

Yinggou practiced with that unnamed mental method, and also did not practice the new version of the Jiuyou Xuantian Divine Art.

----

In the early morning, Zhang Yuanqing put on a bright Mingguang armor.

With a sword and a horizontal knife on his waist, a fiery red cloak flutters in the wind, a horse with a red mane under his crotch, and a helmet in his arms heading towards the palace.

On the street, Zhang Yuanqing was wearing a blindfold. His handsome appearance attracted the attention of passers-by, who couldn't help admiring: The general is mighty, and he has a good appearance.

Zhang Yuanqing stepped into the gate of the palace on horseback, and all the guards bowed their heads to pay homage.

The story of Zhang Yuanqing has already spread all over the world. He broke into Huangchao's camp alone, turned the tide of the battle with his own power, and successfully killed the rebels. His loyalty and bravery are unparalleled in the world.

He was even bestowed the title of "Brave Champion of the Three Armies" by His Majesty the Emperor, and his admiration made people excited.

"See the general, see the champion!"

"See General..."

The loud shouts spread from Yingtianmen to the imperial palace, resounding throughout the world.

Outside Zhumen, a white-haired and childlike chief servant came over.

He took the reins from Zhang Yuanqing with a smiling face.

"Lord Hou, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Imperial Study."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing bowed to him: "Thank you, father-in-law, and please lead the way."

The head steward received Zhang Yuanqing's salute, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and said with a smile on his face, "Oh my lord, you are such a villain, how can I accept your great gift."

Zhang Yuanqing walked side by side with the chief servant, and said with a light smile: "You and I share the emperor's worries, there is no distinction between high and low, so why should this be so."

"By the way, haven't you asked the manager's name?"

The head of the internal servants treated each other with respect and courtesy, and said: "I am an official, Tian Lingzi."

"Director Tian, ​​please."

"Master Hou please first."

In the imperial study room, Xi Zong was taking a nap.

Tian Lingzi woke him up lightly, then turned around and silently closed the door for the two of them, and retreated out.

"Chen, Chong Lou, see Your Majesty."

"Long live, long live, Your Majesty."

Zhang Yuanqing was about to kneel down to worship, but was interrupted by Xi Zong waving his hand.

"Ai Qing, you don't need to be too polite. Let's sit down for the two of us today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Yuanqing found a place to sit down.

"I don't know if His Majesty summoned you suddenly today. What's the matter?"

Xi Zong smiled and suddenly turned pale and coughed a few times. Seeing Zhang Yuanqing get up, he stopped him: "I'm fine, you sit down, I'll be fine slowly."

a long time.

Xi Zong's face recovered a bit of blood, and suddenly his face darkened, and he asked in a concentrated voice: "Aiqing, you are a bad person, aren't you?"

Zhang Yuanqing was startled when he heard the words, and got up quickly.

"You sit."

Xi Zong had a serious face, and said with unquestionable imperial majesty.

"Why did your Majesty say this?"

Zhang Yuanqing sat down helplessly, the palms on the thighs were slightly tightened, and the knuckles were slightly white.

"Hehe, I guessed, but seeing your reaction like this, it seems to be true."

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly had an epiphany, but he didn't know where he had exposed his flaws.

The emperor's mind is like the wind and clouds in the world, unpredictable and unpredictable.

"I'm a bit incompetent, but I'm not stupid, and I can still see black and white."

"May I ask in this world today, how many people still care about the Tang Dynasty and the common people, can live without fear of death, and take risks alone?"

Xi Zong felt sad for a long time, coughed a few more times, his complexion was very bad.

"From the danger you committed alone to the killing of Huang Chao, from the pursuit of the rebels to the elimination of Luoyang's safety, I have seen it all."

"Whether you are loyal or traitor, I understand. In fact, I have doubted your identity for a long time. I tried it today, and it really is what I thought."

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing no longer pretended to pay homage, and said, "Chen, please refer to Your Majesty for bad people."

"So it was you, you didn't die."

Xi Zong understood it, and remembered the feat of Xuanwu Gate in Chang'an a few years ago when one person guarded the whole city. After so many years, it seemed as if it happened again yesterday, which was unavoidably embarrassing.

"minister…"

"But that bad guy called you here?"

Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and said, "Exactly."

"Ugh…"

"It's too late to regret."

Xi Zong closed his eyes, so that the pain in his heart would not be visible to others.

"Back then he had talked about Huang Chao's rebellion, but I was so obsessed with polo that I even became suspicious of him. Now the land is all to blame."

"Tell me, did I make a big mistake?"

How could Zhang Yuanqing dare to answer these words, so he kept silent and pretended not to hear.

"I... feel ashamed of the ancestors of the Li family, ashamed of my ancestors."

Among them, the Tang Dynasty has come to this day, and its foundation is already rotten.

After the chaos, there must be Datong.

When there is only evil left in history, there is no choice but to overthrow and start over.

After experiencing countless sufferings and ups and downs, Xi Zong understood everything.

"Above this court, there are all ambitious people, not to mention the traitor Huang Chao. Song Wentong, who I originally wanted to entrust with important tasks, is now even more ambitious. Li Keyong, the king of Jin, Zhu Wen, the king of Liang...Which one is loyal to you? My Li family is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but the emperor is still there, and the blood of the Li family is still there."

"Since this is the case, I will simply do as they wish, let them grow bigger, let them fight, let them fight, fight to the death, but...but I..."

"Ugh--"

With tears in his eyes, Xi Zong spit out all the words from his heart. The grief and anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time made him bear tremendous pressure.

After a long time, Xi Zong's inner restlessness gradually subsided, he looked at Zhang Yuanqing with a little hope, and said, "Is Longquan still safe?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Longquan Sword has been safely delivered by the Marshal."

"That's good, that's good..."

Xi Zong leaned on the dragon chair as if he had lost all strength, and looked up, with a complicated look on his face.

Xi Zong murmured: "Ai Qing, I don't have much time. If the world changes in the future, I don't ask you to help the Tang Dynasty. I just ask you to protect the blood of my Li family. Can you?"

Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a moment, then stood up respectfully and bowed again.

"Sir, I am willing."

"Okay, okay, I'm a little tired, Aiqing will accompany me for a walk."

Zhang Yuanqing got up and supported Xi Zong, and the two walked out.

Pushing open the door, a warm sun sprinkled on the face.

The sunrise is colorful and the sun is shining.

On the red wall of the palace, the golden sun leaps out, and the spring breeze is warm, which should be a good scenery for a year.

"Wouldn't it make people remember these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers?"

Xi Zong stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to catch the sunshine.

Zhang Yuanqing saw that Xi Zong's face was blushing strangely, and his complexion improved a lot.

He broke away from Zhang Yuanqing's support, and strode away.

"Aiqing, I'm not tired anymore, and I suddenly remembered that there is still a good horse in the horse prison, so I will go play polo with me."

After finishing speaking, Xi Zong laughed and walked away.

Just like that, the two jumped on their horses, and their clubs collided violently.

Under Xi Zong's control, the balloon flew into Zhang Yuanqing's basket.

"Hahaha, I won, I won."

"Don't fight, don't fight."

Xi Zong laughed and threw away the club in his hand, and galloped away.

Zhang Yuanqing watched Xi Zong go away, and hand in hand.

A generation of emperors, the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, came to an end.

"Congratulations to the emperor for his funeral."
