Chapter 232 Unpopular
"It's the Taoist priest who's back. It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here."

Li Xiaoyao was the first to react.

Zhao Ling'er was chewing on the word "Jianjia", as if she didn't understand why the Taoist priest chose the word "Jianjia" as the child's name.

The holy aunt at the side nodded slightly, and said: "The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Yiren are on the side of the water."

"Jianjia, Jianjia, a good name."

Lu Fengqiu's figure appeared in front of everyone.

Li Xiaoyao walked up to Lu Fengqiu with the child in his arms, and showed Lu Fengqiu how cute his daughter was.

He was illiterate, and hadn't read many books since he was a child, but he didn't know what the word "Jia" in Chang's mouth meant.

Li Xiaoyao looked at Lu Fengqiu in a daze, and said, "Master Daoist, what is the so-called Yiren who are on the side of the water?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, and said: "This is the Jianjia chapter in the Book of Songs."

Li Xiaoyao said: "Then what does Jian Jia mean?"

Lu Fengqiu paced back and forth, "Jia refers to the reeds without long ears. Jia refers to the newly born reeds."

Li Xiaoyao muttered: "So Jianjia means reed, isn't that grass?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "You can also understand it that way."

Li Xiaoyao looked at the daughter in his arms, and teased, "Cao'er, Xiao Cao'er, from now on your first name will be Li Jianjia, and your nickname will be Li Xiaocao."

"Li Jianjia, Li Xiaocao."

"Hey, yes, that's a good name."

Li Xiaoyao shook the child, muttering in his mouth.

Zhao Ling'er on the side reacted somewhat.

"Jianjia is green and white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side."

"The Taoist priest named the child Jian Jia, hoping that the child will grow up as tough as a reed. As a descendant of a girl, he has a noble bloodline from birth, but it is this noble bloodline that makes the child have shackles. .”

"So, the Taoist priest hopes that the child will let go of the shackles, like that reed, although it is ordinary, but its vitality is tenacious."

"Besides, Jianjia, Jianjia, doesn't it just represent another meaning, which is a symbol of affection between men and women."

Thinking of this, Zhao Linger couldn't help but look at the increasingly responsible Li Xiaoyao.

For a while, she couldn't help recalling all the pasts between her and Brother Xiaoyao in her mind.

The most beautiful love in the world is not love at first sight, but after falling in love at first sight, sharing weal and woe, and falling in love for a long time.

Love is never a constant layer, it will become more and more mature with the deepening of the years.

Some people just walk away.

But some people, walking and walking, they came to the white head.

Only now did Zhao Ling'er fully understand the meaning of the Taoist priest's name Jian Jia.

Zhao Ling'er looked at Lu Fengqiu, but suddenly asked, "Huh? Why don't you see sister Yueru?"

When Lu Fengqiu heard the words, he said quietly: "Poverty left her in Chang'an."

Zhao Ling'er was extremely intelligent, and she sighed slightly for Lin Yueru from the bottom of her heart.

I am not born, but I am old.

I'm afraid sister Yueru will regret it for the rest of her life.

At this time, Li Xiaoyao walked to Zhao Linger with the child in his arms, and said to Zhao Linger, "Linger, look how happy Xiaocao is smiling."

"Other people's children cry when they are born, but our Cao'er laughs. It looks like a pistachio."

Zhao Ling'er smiled slightly, but the aunt at the side looked at the door and was quite disappointed to see that no one came in.

Seeing this, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help laughing and said: "This time, the poor Taoist came back, first to send you back to the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom, and second, to completely wipe out the water monster, so as to avoid future troubles."

"Furthermore, once the water demonic beast is broken, the harm it will cause will be enormous, so the poor Taoist priest asked Mo Daoist Mo of Shushan to lead Shushan's disciples to help out."

When the holy lady at the side heard the words, an inexplicable look flashed across her face.

Zhao Ling'er heard the words, and couldn't help saying to Lu Fengqiu: "That's really great, if the Taoist priest takes action, the water monster will definitely be wiped out."

But Lu Fengqiu said: "Ling'er, in fact, the water monster is not the biggest disaster of Nanzhao Kingdom, but the biggest disaster of Nanzhao Kingdom is that people's hearts are already in chaos."

When Zhao Ling'er heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on her face.

The Nanman general at the side said rather domineeringly: "The Lord of the Moon Worship has been eliminated by the Taoist priest. Although there are still Moon Worshipers in the country who are making trouble, but without the Lord of the Moon Worship, they are just a bunch of mobs. Sweep up."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu just shook his head and smiled.

Zhao Ling'er on the side said firmly: "No matter what, Ling'er will definitely persuade my father to get rid of the Moon Worship Sect when I come to Beijing this time!"

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu said, "Moon Worship Sect has a deep foundation in Nanzhao Kingdom, and there are too many believers. I am afraid that in Nanzhao Kingdom today, there are far fewer people who want to eradicate Moon Worship Sect The person who took revenge from the Moon Sect Leader."

"When the hearts of the people are in chaos, the country will not survive."

"Ling'er, you have to be mentally prepared. If you want to secure the country, you have to bleed."

"Although foolish people deserve death, there are also people who are obedient and mobs. The ruler of a country should not take chances. He must hold a knife in one hand and be kind in the other."

Zhao Ling'er heard the words and chewed these two sentences carefully.

"Knife in one hand, kindness in the other."

After a while, Zhao Linger seemed to realize something, she nodded slightly towards Lu Fengqiu, and said: "Thank you for your guidance, Daoist, Linger knows what to do."

When Lu Fengqiu heard the words, he also nodded.

The reason why he wanted to help Zhao Ling'er in this way was that Zhao Ling'er gave the little pan peach tree two drops of blood in Yuquan temple.

The kind-hearted descendants of the Nuwa clan should not go forward with the heavy shackles on their backs from now on.

……

The physique of the descendants of the Nuwa tribe is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. Ordinary people who have just given birth must not be able to go to the ground, otherwise there will definitely be sequelae in the future.

But as a descendant of Nuwa, Zhao Linger's strong body allowed her to move freely just a few days after giving birth.

Although having a child is a bit debilitating, it's not so weak that you can't even walk.

On this day, when the north wind howled, Lu Fengqiu summoned the spiritual sword, the Bright Moon Sword, which he forged with his own hands.

The Haoyue sword becomes a sword on a full moon night. Although it is not made of precious materials, it can change the size as one wishes.

When the blade was the smallest, it was only three inches.

When the blade is at its largest, it can be as long as three feet.

The most subtle part of this weapon refining technique lies in the use of talismans, blessing the talisman array on it, so that it can change as you wish.

Lu Fengqiu had already done some research on talismans, so he was able to forge such a flying sword with his own hands after studying the art of refining for several days.

The Haoyue sword flew towards the capital of the Nanzhao kingdom with everyone on board.

The capital of the Nanzhao Kingdom is not far from Dali, and the flying sword is not fast. Lu Fengqiu is there to take care of the newborn Li Xiaocao.

But it was still useless for half an hour, and everyone arrived at the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom.

……

Since the death of the Patriarch of the Moon Worship, the Nanzhao Kingdom has actually been in chaos.

Especially in the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom, almost every household has hung white cloths. What's more, they jointly sat in front of the big altar in the capital, demanding that the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom send troops to severely punish the murderer who killed the Moon Worshiper.

Many ordinary people have been sitting in front of the altar for several days. They don’t do any shit every day. They wake up in the morning as if they are going to work. Groups of people go to sit in front of the altar. At night, they go home Rest, the next day is still the same.

As soon as this incident happened, Zhao Ye, the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom, was very worried.

Originally, he was quite happy when the master of the Moon Worship Sect died, but who would have thought that although the master of the Moon Worship Sect is dead, his influence is still great.

What's more, there are still those remaining forces of the Moon Worship Sect. They have controlled various parts of Nanzhao Kingdom for ten years, so how could they easily give up the benefits they have already obtained.

Zhao Ye was originally an indecisive character, and his ears were extremely soft, so he was easily bewitched by others.

Otherwise, there would not be a public trial of witches back then. If this person became stupid, even a pig would be better than him.

Fortunately, Shi Gonghu was not dead at this time. As the elder of the three dynasties of the Nanzhao Kingdom, his temper has always been a hardliner.

Facing the daily protests of tens of thousands of people, Shi Gonghu's suggestion is to directly arrest and kill those people who should be killed.

But Zhao Ye disagreed with life and death, saying that the people are innocent, and it is the widow's fault if they make mistakes.

In the Nanzhao king's palace.

Zhao Ye was holding his forehead with one hand, looking at the official document on the copybook, helpless.

Although Nanzhao Kingdom is not big, it has nearly 200 million people.

He still underestimated the encroachment of the Moon Worship Leader on all parts of Nanzhao Kingdom.

Now not only the people in the capital demanded that the murderer who killed the Moon Worshiper be severely punished, but the people in other places also demanded that the murderer who killed the Moon Worshiper be severely punished.

There is a faint tendency of civil unrest in various places.

Zhao Ye stood up, looking at the resplendent and magnificent hall, he couldn't help asking, "Why is this happening? Why is this happening?"

"Wanfang is guilty, and I am guilty!"

"God, why do you want to play tricks on me like this, the people are innocent, and I will be responsible for all the crimes, why do you let these innocent people get involved in this?"

Zhao Ye's eyes were full of melancholy.

At this moment, a guard came in from outside the hall to report: "Your Majesty, the princess is back."

Zhao Ye got up immediately when he heard the words, and the melancholy expression on his face disappeared. He looked at the guard and said, "What did you say? The princess is back?"

The guard replied: "Yes, the princess has already entered the palace, and she will be escorted back by Shengnu and General Nanman."

Hearing this, Zhao Ye couldn't help saying: "Hurry up, hurry up, let the princess come here, I want to see her."

But the guard said with a distressed expression: "Your Majesty, there is still one thing that needs to be decided by Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Zhao Ye couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the matter?"

The guard said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Taoist Qingyun who killed the Moon Worshiper is also returning to the palace with the princess. If the people of the Moon Worshiper find out, this Taoist returned to the palace with the princess and met Your Majesty." , I am afraid that the Moon Worshipers will use this to incite the people, and the consequences may be disastrous, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ye couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

His good mood, which had been in a hurry, turned solemn again in an instant.

He kept wandering in the hall.

Do you want to meet Taoist Qingyun?

Logically speaking, Taoist Qingyun's eradication of the Moon Worshiper is a great favor to the Nanzhao state.

But right now, the domestic situation is not optimistic.

If he once met Taoist Qingyun, he might really arouse public anger as expected.

He had seen the horror of public outrage back then.

It was precisely because of public anger that he was driven to a dead end step by step, and had to publicly trial the witch queen in front of the people of the capital.

Public trial of the woman he loves.

Finally, Queen Wu died at the bottom of the lake for the people of Nanzhao Kingdom.

It has also become the pain he has hidden in his heart for ten years.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but slapped the side column with one hand, then sighed heavily, and said, "I pass on the widow's order, let the princess go back to Min Luo Palace to rest first, and the widow will meet the princess again tomorrow."

"As for Taoist Qingyun, the widow disappeared. Let the princess treat him well. Give him 50 taels of gold and a pair of emerald jade. Let him go out of the palace. It is best to stay away from Nanzhao Kingdom."

Hearing the words, the guard immediately nodded and said: "I understand, I will do it now."

After saying that, the guard turned around and was about to leave.

However, the Witch King Zhao Ye suddenly said again: "Wait! Pass on the widow's order and ask the Great Elder to come to the palace quickly."

"By the way, what's more, we must closely monitor the movements of the people in the city, and remember not to spread the news that Taoist Qingyun has come to the capital."

The guard heard the words, bowed and retreated.

Witch King Zhao Ye paced in the hall, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "I'm sorry, but for the sake of the stability of Nanzhao Kingdom, I can only do this."

……

Into the palace.

There was obviously a lot of joy on Zhao Linger's face.

After all, there is her biological father in this palace.

After ten years of absence, the flesh and blood are separated.

She naturally wanted to meet her biological father.

Along the way, there are guards leading the way.

But before arriving at the palace where the Witch King lived, someone from the palace came to convey the Witch King's will, asking Zhao Ling'er to go to Min Luo Palace to rest first.

Zhao Ling'er heard the words and had no choice but to agree.

However, at this moment, the palace man changed the topic again.

He directly raised his hand, and behind him two palace servants walked out carrying two plates.

Nagong said humanely: "This is a gift from His Majesty to Taoist Master Qingyunzi. His Majesty said, I hope Taoist Master Qingyunzi will not stay in Nanzhao Kingdom for a long time."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ling'er was unwilling.

She immediately frowned and said: "Presumptuous, Taoist Master Qingyunzi is a distinguished guest of our Nanzhao Kingdom, and this visit is to help our Nanzhao Kingdom eliminate a serious disaster, how dare you be so rude!"

Hearing the words, the palace servant bowed towards Zhao Ling'er and said: "Princess calm down, the old servant is only delivering the decree according to His Majesty's will, there is absolutely no falsehood."

"Now the situation in the country is critical, and I ask the princess to understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."

Zhao Linger's face was unhappy, and the good imagination of her father in her heart also began to collapse at this moment.

She said coldly: "Okay, you take this thing back. I will meet my father tomorrow, and I will naturally argue about it!"

Seeing this, the palace man had to leave quietly.

Li Xiaoyao, who was holding the child at the side, couldn't help but said: "This Witch King is really weak as always, the master of the Moon Worshiper is dead, and he is so afraid of the Moon Worshipers."

After entering the capital, they all saw the people sitting quietly in front of the big altar. There were tens of thousands of people. With a little attention, they could understand why the Witch King behaved like this.

If the Witch King was not Li Xiaoyao's father-in-law, Li Xiaoyao would have scolded him long ago.

Right now, he doesn't have the slightest liking for the Witch King.

Li Xiaoyao really has nothing to respect for the father-in-law who deceived his wife and children.

Zhao Ling'er looked at Lu Fengqiu apologetically, and said a little embarrassedly: "Master Daoist, don't mind, maybe father doesn't mean that."

Lu Fengqiu waved his hand slightly, taking it lightly.

"Pindao is here to slay demons. The Witch King welcomes him or not. It has nothing to do with him. If he wants to stay, he can stay. If he wants to go, he can leave. No one can stop him Poor."

Zhao Ling'er heard the words, and only said: "Don't worry, Taoist priest, if the father insists on going his own way, Ling'er will definitely not let him go on like this."

Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, and said: "Nanzhao Kingdom's state affairs are poor and the poor are not interested. Ling'er is a smart person and should know how to deal with it."

"Right now, the most important thing is the water monster."

Zhao Ling'er heard the words and said to Lu Fengqiu: "I'm sorry to bother the Taoist priest, but it's getting late today, and the Taoist priest can leave tomorrow. At that time, Ling'er and Brother Xiaoyao can also go with the Taoist priest."

Lu Fengqiu looked towards the southern sky, then nodded slightly and said: "Alright, Pindao has already felt that the water monster is restless, but it will take a few more days to break through the seal. In these few days, Pindao has to do more. Prepare."
