Chapter 2 The sky is falling, Dad will support you!
Xu Ji's cold voice echoed over the square, and the panicked crowd finally calmed down slowly.
At this time, Xu Ji turned to the pale emperor beside him and whispered: "Your Majesty..."
"Yes." Emperor Huang Fu Haoran has been ascending the throne for twenty years. He worked hard to govern and was diligent in government affairs. He was also a promising king. Although he had just lost his composure, he had already come back to his senses.
Huangfu Haoran cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "My Sky Kingdom... has millions of iron-blooded elites who have experienced many battles! There is Xu Ji, the general of the country,! There is the champion Hou Xu Zhongtian! There are countless outstanding civil and military officials! There are thousands of loyal people!"
Looking at the square that was completely quiet below, Huangfu Haoran finally shouted: "I am still there! This day... cannot collapse!"
The great etiquette officer also forced himself to calm down, and shouted loudly in a trembling voice: "God bless the sky!"
The scared people in the square couldn't help but shouted in accordance with the voice of the Great Etiquette Official: "God bless the sky!"
But these people all drew a question mark in their hearts: Will they really continue to protect the sky this day?
This kind of thing happened in the Centennial Festival, and it was destroyed in such a way...
The ancestors of the royal family of the Cangqiong Kingdom were given a lecture on "Seven Stars Glory, the Cangqiong Prosper". Now the seven big stars fall at the same time. Anyone can see that this is a great ominous sign!
As a promising middle-aged emperor, Huangfu Haoran knew very well that this matter had nothing to do with the Xu boy.
But when his eyes fell on the boy who fainted in front of the drum, the fear and anger in his chest stirred back and forth.
"waste!!!"
"The 100-year-old festival only takes one hundred years. How lucky is it to be your turn?"
"But now it's screwed up!"
Huangfu Haoran is very angry now and wants to kill someone!
Looking at Xu Ji, the general of the State, who looked at his son with a worried look, couldn't help but say, "The Xu family has been loyal for generations, passionate and brave, but now it is time to have a civil servant. Those civil servants in the court... are afraid that everyone will be in danger. If you are not careful, you may be stolen from your job."
The other few people who were with the emperor also had stiff faces, and looked at Xu Ji with a smile, hiding some gloating emotions.
Previously, Xu Luo obtained the identity of a drum beater, but was very jealous.
"Snatch the job of a civil servant?"
Xu Ji was stunned by Huangfu Haoran's words. It is true that he was a general, but he was not only a brave and reckless man. Naturally, he could hear the strong dissatisfaction with Xu Luo in the emperor's words.
"Severe failure, Xu Luo is indeed a little unsatisfied, but this failure has nothing to do with his dizziness... Why do you say that?"
"I actually robbed the jobs of civil servants. If I really could robbed the jobs of these civil servants, I wouldn't have time to be happy! I was so upset when I looked at the group of sour people who only knew how to compete for fame and fortune but didn't know how to do things..."
Xu Ji was whispering in his heart, of course he didn't say anything.
The Xu family has been loyal and kind for generations, Xu Ji has made great achievements in military affairs, guarding the territory of the empire, and has made great reputations everywhere. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to win the identity of the drum beater for Xu Luo.
Although he understood that the emperor took his anger at Xu Luo and mocked him because he was unhappy, Xu Ji still felt very unhappy.
Looking at his son who fainted in front of the drum with heartache, Xu Ji sighed and walked slowly towards the weak boy.
...
The impact of the failure of the star sacrifice spread rapidly. Although Emperor Huang Fu Haoran turned the tide and sootheed people's hearts to a certain extent, the fall of the seven stars was too great and could not be eliminated in just a few words.
As the Star Festival Drum Beater, Xu Luo, a sarcastic sentence "Snatch the job of a civil servant" by the emperor's anger, spread rapidly in the imperial capital at an extremely astonishing speed.
So, the poor boy didn't know at this time that he had been nicknamed "Civilian Rice Birth".
Especially those who had been disliked by him because of jealousy, even more ridiculed him.
In just half a day, several jokes about civil servants' jobs have been circulated in the imperial capital...
"Be careful, there are civil servants' jobs on Zhuque Street. Please avoid giving in and give in. Don't be stolen from your job!"
Zhuque Street not only houses senior military generals of the empire, but also many important officials in the court.
"Two civil servants are using tea in the teahouse, citing classics, talking about everything, and having a happy chat. Someone suddenly shouted "Civilian job" and the two civil servants fled in panic regardless of their morality..."
"A group of generals are training, their blood is surging, and they are fighting very lively. Someone shouted "Civilian job" and the generals ran away... Why do the generals also run away? Of course they are afraid of being infected!"
...
Xu Luo was completely unaware of this. After the titles of "Sick Skin", "Medicine Can" and "Waste", he received a new title - a civil servant job.
Of course, even if you know, Xu Luo would only walk away silently. From childhood to adulthood, because of his weak body, he is completely different from the brave Xu family's children. Sometimes he even faints and has been ridiculed by countless people.
Whenever the night when you can't see the stars, it is Xu Luo's weakest. If it rains for several consecutive days, Xu Luo may be so weak that he faints.
The entire Xu family tried every means to hire countless famous doctors and searched for various spiritual medicines, but no one could find the reason for Xu Luo's weakness, and no one could work.
For this reason, I also wrote the nicknames of "medicine jar" and "sick rice seedlings".
Although it is called a waste, Xu Luo's body meridians and dantian are actually normal.
A powerful warrior has seen it and said that Xu Luo's meridians and dantian are even much stronger than ordinary people. If he hadn't always fainted inexplicably on rainy days, he could even practice to become a powerful warrior!
...
Xu Luo slowly opened his eyes. After fainting in front of the drum at the entrance of the Star Palace last night, his memory stayed there, and the memory after fainting was blank.
After waking himself up for a while, the boy smiled bitterly.
No need to guess, this time it was so embarrassing. My father worked hard to get the identity of a drum beater. It only took a hundred years to have a chance to cleanse himself from the marrow and hair and try to change his physique.
Unexpectedly, such a bizarre and strange thing happened. The star sacrifice failed and the seven stars fell... This is something that has never happened since the founding of the Cangqin Kingdom.
"It seems that this time, I have caused trouble to the family. It's okay to laugh at and sarcasm. The key is that someone will take his anger at the Xu family because of this? I... am really a waste, and I can knock myself out even if I beat a drum!"
Xu Luo looked depressed, looked at the beam above his head and muttered to himself.
Although the 16-year-old boy has not had a lot of experience, his growth experience since childhood has made him far more mature than his average peers.
“Huh…wait.”
Xu Luo's eyes stared at the mahogany beam above his head, which was as thick as a plate. The light was very dark and almost no one would notice it.
Even if you pay attention, you can't see clearly.
But Xu Luo clearly saw a spider the size of a rice grain lying quietly on the beam of the house...
"When did my eyesight become so good?"
Xu Luo looked at the beam with surprise, thinking that he had hallucinations, so he turned his eyes to the higher roof.
The Xu family has a wealthy family with a strong foundation.
Although the building is not luxurious, the materials used in the house are exquisite. The glazed tiles on the roof look crystal clear and beautiful under the sunlight.
It was not this that surprised Xu Luo very much, but his eyes... he actually penetrated the glazed tiles on the roof and saw two birds flying in the sky outside!
Just two ordinary birds chirping and playing in the sky.
However, Xu Luo saw a ghost and jumped down from the bed, pushed open the door, rushed to the yard, raised his head, and looked up at the sky.
The two birds playing happily were startled by Xu Luo who suddenly appeared in the yard and flew away.
Xu Luo stood there as if he was stunned, his face full of shock. He stood there for a while and turned his eyes to the blue bricks under his feet.
Several ants crawled past his feet, and the fluff on the ant's legs and the tentacles on their heads were clearly visible in Xu Luo's eyes at this moment!
When his eyes passed through the ants, a few slowly wriggling earthworms inside the soil layer more than a foot deep under his feet made Xu Luo completely stunned.
After a long time, Xu Luo's face, which was full of shock, was still a little numb, and muttered to himself: "What's going on? Why did my vision suddenly improve more than ten times. Not only can I penetrate the glazed tiles and see the sky, but I can also penetrate the soil layer and see the creatures in the soil... Why is this?"
Xu Luo said, squatting in the yard, and then looked hard at the soil layer below his feet.
Xu Luo tried his best, and at most he could only see things within two feet of the soil layer. If he wanted to look down, Xu Luo felt a little tingling in his eyes and tears flowed out.
Xu Luo, who was wearing only pajamas and messy hair, squatted in his yard, staring blankly at the blue bricks under his feet.
This scene happened to be seen by Xu Ji, the general of the State who walked in.
The battle-hardened general had a little sore nose. He stood at the door and coughed lightly. Seeing his son raising his head in a daze, there were tears of "grievance" in his eyes...
Xu Ji's chest churned, he took a deep breath, looked at Xu Luo and said, "Son, don't be afraid, the sky is falling, I have a father to support you!"
Xu Luo reached out to rub his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He actually wanted to explain in his heart: I was looking at things!
But looking at the father's solemn expression, Xu Luo felt powerless and moved, so he had to nod his head vigorously and said, "I understand."
Xu Ji walked over, patted Xu Luo's shoulders lightly, and said, "It's just that you are a boy. Men will not cry. Don't cry at any time in the future. If there is anything, my father will bear it for you!"
“…”
"Okay, as long as you're fine, just stay calm for a few days. If you're fine, don't go out." Xu Ji said, looking at Xu Luo with a loving face, turning around and leaving.
Faced with his father who cared for him, Xu Luo wanted to tell his father several times about his changes, but finally he held back.
