Chapter Twelve I'm a Coward, I wish you all the best
Peach blossoms grow very quickly.
Most of the creatures cared for by the law of heaven are like this. Planted in the desert abyss, they can reach a height of three feet in just over a month.
The peach blossoms are half hidden and half exposed, and more of them are white furry little flower bags with slightly red dots.
A group of children ran into the abyss to play, and giggles came from time to time. Peach blossoms were so rare in their lives.
Gu Changan leaned on the railing and looked out, watching the children playing the game of eagle and chicken next to the peach tree, and he couldn't help but smile.
He is enough in the darkness. These clear eyes should gaze at the bustling lights and the mountains and rivers of Shenzhou.
One day, he will send his children to the Central Plains. This is Gu Changan's only wish.
The watchtower stands against the wall, and there is a Buddhist niche along the long edge. The Buddha statue inside shines with golden light. Looking up close, it really feels like the Buddha's light is shining all over the place.
He gained two things from the battle with the purple-shirted swordsman.
The first is internal strength, which can also absorb the essence of the sun and moon in the future.
The second one is the Buddhist niche, which can only be driven by internal force, and its purpose is unknown at the moment.
…
At the same time, the official residence of the Adjudicator.
An old woman in a python robe with frosty white temples sat on the main seat that originally belonged to Zhe Lansu, who stood with her hands behind her hands.
"After the handover is completed, Yue Sanshan can send troops to station." Zhelan Su said casually.
His mood was as relaxed as his lazy look. The imperial edict of punishment was issued and he went to Mobei to serve as a pacifier.
Just downgrade one level!
Completely relieved!
From now on, we are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, and we no longer have to be kept up all night by Gu Changan.
"Are you hiding something else?" The old woman's brown eyes burst out with anger, and her wrinkled face looked like the roots of an old tree.
Many staff members remained silent.
"Please clarify my doubts." Zhelan said calmly and calmly.
"Qiuci City, Gu Changan!"
Yue Jiuling stood up and stared at his eyes coldly, almost pointing at his nose and scolding:
"You are really good at covering up. If you hadn't traveled seven thousand miles, how would you know that this place is so humiliating?"
"You are daring and have no law!"
She walked in step by step, her eyes as sharp as a knife:
"If this matter is investigated further, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and brought shame to the empire. Even committing suicide is not enough to atone for your sin!"
"So?" Zhe Lansu looked at her closely, a sneer flashing across his lips.
"So I will report to the center truthfully!" Yue Jiuling said with an expressionless face.
"Please." Zhe Lansu waved his hand and added:
"What do you think the consequences will be? My head is on the ground, and I am waiting for death. You are the sanctioning officer at this moment, and you are also responsible."
Yue Jiuling's expression froze, her eyes flickered a few times, and her whole person was extremely gloomy.
"You are not the Queen of the Kingdom thirty years ago. You are an imperial official. You live in a power field and occasionally you should shoulder the burdens for others."
"I'm just cleaning up the mess for Hu Yanshou, don't I feel aggrieved?"
Zhe Lan was solemn and calm, and even took the tea handed by the guard.
The old woman in front of me was once the queen of a small country in Mobei. Thirty years ago, the whole country surrendered, and the God of Heaven specially treated her favorably. Now she has climbed to the position of judge.
To be honest, Zhe Lansu did not expect that the Central Committee would appoint this person.
Yue Jiuling is decisive and ruthless in her actions. She inherits the style of the previous queen and is known as the "old witch" of the empire.
"You dug a hole and waited for me?" Yue Jiuling seemed to accept the reality and her emotions gradually calmed down.
A lonely city in a desert thousands of miles away is actually a volcano that has sunk to the bottom of the abyss. If it rises to the surface, it will definitely cause disaster.
Hu Yanshou, who was at the top of the empire's decision-making hierarchy, was certainly to blame, and Zhe Lansu suffered an even worse end, as were all the officials, large and small, in Qiqianli.
She really didn't dare to offend the entire chain of interests. She had to get on board regardless of whether she wanted to or not.
Zhe Lan was unconvinced.
"Haha." Yue Jiuling suddenly laughed and said calmly:
"In one month, I will be buried in the isolated city. The empire does not allow slaves from the Central Plains to exist!"
"Contempt authority and challenge the bottom line, only to be torn into pieces!"
Zhe Lansu took a sip of tea and twitched the corners of his mouth, almost unable to stop laughing.
One month?
grass!
The old witch really dared to boast about Haikou.
If it were that simple, how could I leave the dictatorial warlords alone and run away in disgrace?
"Unlike some cowards who only care about their soldiers and don't consider the dignity of the empire at all."
Yue Jiuling spoke softly, without hiding the yin and yang in her words.
She naturally believed that the old thief Zhelan was afraid of fighting and did not have the courage to make a desperate move, which only fueled the arrogance of the Gucheng dog thief.
Zhe Lansu did not refute.
It has never been like this before being severely beaten by reality.
"You are noble and great."
"I am weak and incompetent."
"I hope Yue Sanshou will kill Gu Changan."
He said a few words calmly.
Once upon a time, he enthusiastically took over the sanctioning power given by the God of Heaven, and launched a fierce attack on the sluggish old world with high spirits.
Yue Jiuling's current state is exactly the same as what he was back then!
"The fool who blocks the cart with his mantis! The idiot who hits the stone with an egg! To subdue him is as easy as bending down to pick up grass."
Yue Jiuling squinted her eyes and waited for her warriors to arrive before starting a bloody massacre to turn the isolated city into a dead city that even hawks and crows would not dare to enter!
"Yueya, block the news!"
"I will obey my grandmother... I will obey the order of the judge!" The plump woman in the corridor left quickly with her skirts fluttering.
Zhelan nodded solemnly, turned around and walked out of the hall, pinching his temples with relief.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the old witch can really eradicate Gu Changan." A staff member came closer and whispered in a low voice.
When a woman holds power, she will be a hundred times more vicious than others. Only iron-blooded methods can offset worldly prejudices.
And the old witch is the best among them!
Anyone who knows the imperial court will be as afraid of the old witch as a snake or a scorpion.
"Give it a try. This ruthless battle will definitely be exciting. The old witch has no retreat, and Gu Changan is even more fearless."
Zhe Lansu smiled meaningfully. He was very panicked inside the bureau, but it was so fun to watch the excitement outside.
"Right."
As if remembering something, he was silent for a long time and said quietly:
"There are dozens of jars of fine wine buried under the locust tree in the garden. I'll give it to Gu Chang'an when I get the chance."
"Your Majesty!" The staff frowned deeply, unable to understand.
Zhe Lansu looked into the distance and said unhurriedly:
"I pride myself on being an outstanding person, but Gu Changan is an upright hero."
"I dreamed of killing him countless times, but when I woke up I smiled. It was true that I wanted to kill him, and it was true that I admired him."
"It is an honor for a person to be an enemy of such a spiritual martyr in his lifetime."
The staff member moved his lips and wanted to say that the heroic soldier died tragically in Gu Changan's hands, but he swallowed the words again.
Each is his own master, and neither side can do anything about it.
"I wish the old witch all the best." Zhelan said with a solemn smile.
