The First Empress - Chapter 295
Chapter 295 Shaman
The frost water was clear, and the clouds and moon in the sky covered a clear radiance, causing one’s mood to be completely clear. Linglong did not know what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds. However, Huiqi had already spoken his golden words. He only had the right to stand and wait. Just what kind of family kabuki class was it? It was possible for them to move and change positions. In Zihua Palace, Huiqi could not tolerate such people the most. Were they fighting against them?
Linglong sat upright, Looking at the group of people slowly walking over from afar, the person in the lead walked with flowing footsteps and a mask on his face. The people behind him were also wearing masks. The masks were made of azure jade. There was an inexplicable coldness in the moonlight. This group of people walked in like ghosts. Linglong couldn’t help but stare at the figures and footsteps of the two people in front of her.
The first person was dressed in purple clothes. The position of the sword on his waist was empty. The complicated and beautiful embroidery of flowers was tailor-made. Although that person’s figure had intentionally become agile and unpredictable, Linglong could tell that this person was Xie Yunxiao. If her guess was correct, it should be Xie Yunxiao.
The second person looked a little sturdier. He walked from left to right. Every step was like a ruler that could measure the length of a person. It showed an extraordinary confidence and a realistic attitude. However, Linglong knew that this person was definitely not the one she thought he was. It was impossible. That person’s life had already fallen, and it was impossible for him to revive.
Linglong looked at the crowd behind her in turn. Because she was wearing a mask, she could not tell who was who. However, Linglong felt an inexplicable danger. This group of people had an unexpected strangeness. It made Linglong think for a moment before she could tell what it looked like to be completely different from ordinary people.
“This is a juggling team from the Western barbarians. Zhenxi brought it here from the Western barbarians. If the Emperor likes it after watching the show, please stay.” Zhenxi’s words were quiet and cold, like the sound of a stream pine.
Mingyue shone on herself. This group of people had already rustled and stood according to their positions. Everyone seemed to have evolved long ago, and each of them had their own duties.
Linglong intentionally or unintentionally looked at the two people in front of her. If the two of them weren’t mistaken, they were the two people they knew. If they were mistaken, it would be even better. Linglong was also confused by the inexorable relationship between them. Could it be that some things were destined in the dark or that reality was constantly intensifying to an unimaginable degree, constantly challenging people’s sensory endurance?
The Good Fortune Child had no definite evidence, tossing and turning, standing upright and horizontally, seeing it like this. But Linglong did not expect that danger was slowly approaching her. Slowly approaching his side, She wanted the Emperor to be shrouded in two burning gazes, but everyone was completely unaware of it. Every time, they said that their excellent actors had great abilities. In the end, it was just boasting. No one believed Qi Dongye. Although they did not know why Baoluo had come, everyone had guessed that he was eight to nine.
This Ji class was an assassination team that had been prepared beforehand, right?
“Your Majesty, unless you see it with your own eyes, Zhenxi can’t describe the strength and kung fu of the Ji Clan.” Zhen Xi looked at Huiqi, her tone filled with interest. Huiqi’s heart trembled slightly, but after all, she couldn’t show it. On the other hand, her expression was lacking in interest. “Just let them perform for a while. I really like to watch these things.” As she spoke, she held Linglong’s hand and hesitated slightly.
Everyone below the stage stood in place. A few people surrounded the two people in front of them. The two of them were already standing on the shoulders of this group of people in a flash of lightning. Then, they were like overlapping arhats. One more person below and one less person above them. Until the top person, that person was already standing at the highest place.
Huiqi was not surprised. “There are performances like this in the Central Palace. It’s not surprising.” After saying that, Huiqi turned his gaze from the group of people in front of him to the basin of Tiger Claw Chrysanthemum behind Linglong. He reached out and picked one of the chrysanthemums and inserted it into Linglong’s temples.
“Your Majesty, be careful. Since this group of people have that kind of kung fu, if they fail to perform in a short period of time, they will also be able to injure your Majesty’s dragon body.” Linglong’s voice was like a raindrop of sycamore trees. When Huiqi heard Linglong remind him that only Linglong was in the harem with him, he couldn’t help but nod heavily.
“Your Majesty, this is just a routine at the beginning of the show. If you want to make a difference, Your Majesty, just watch the back.” Zhenxi said.
Huiqi nodded and acquiesced.
“I have always wanted to share the autumn moon with the world, to sit with the world spring breeze. I’ve done it all, “I didn’t expect that someone in Ping Sihai Jingyu would be so disappointed-” Huiqi lowered her voice. Linglong saw that Huiqi’s fingers were lightly ventriloquist on the table. She knew that this was the beginning of the Blood Droplet’s movement. It was probably five people. Three of them were better at martial arts, and two covered it.
The group of people in front of him had already folded up Arhat. The tall, uppermost man could almost touch the pillars and carved beams, This group of people was as refreshing and natural as bamboo trees and clouds, and was filled with strangeness everywhere. The moonlight on the window gradually became full of trees and shadows. The figures of this group of people suddenly descended at lightning speed. They were about to come into contact with Linglong’s wine table. Before Linglong could think about it, the person at the front had already attacked like lightning. Linglong could clearly see that this person’s hand was bent over and grabbed it–
This time, Linglong knew that they were finally unable to hold back and were about to make a move. However, even a ghostly drop of blood wouldn’t be in a hurry for such a close-range attack. Linglong’s heart was almost stagnant. When her hands reached Linglong’s throat, it was protected by a pot of flowers. It was the pot of Tiger Claw Chrysanthemum that Huiqi had picked just now.
Only then did Linglong look ahead. The one holding the chrysanthemum was a person dressed in purple. His pair of eyes had betrayed him, Xie Yunxiao.
Linglong didn’t understand what they were doing. One of them wanted to kill and the other wanted to be saved.
“Give me a flower. May the Empress be more beautiful than Hua Jiao.” However, the potted flower had already fallen after being attacked by the strong wind. Linglong smiled embarrassedly and said, “Thank you.” She was not thanking this person for offering flowers, but thanking him for protecting her in time. Otherwise, Linglong would not have thought about whether there would be any danger.
Her eyes darkened. He looked at the person beside him with reproach, Huiqi suddenly held the man’s hand. Unable to dodge, he could only fall from other people’s shoulders, Huiqi’s hand was like a pair of pliers. It was tightly clamped onto the man’s neck. The man was in pain and hurriedly knelt down. Huiqi almost thought that he had seen wrongly. This pair of eyes was clearly familiar. The hatred in his eyes was no different from that of someone from before. Even their figures and appearances were exactly the same. Such a coincidence was rare in this world.
“Take off your mask and I order you.” After saying that, Huiqi let go. This person unwillingly took off his mask. Linglong also looked over. Should this person have a face in his memory or should he have a new face? Linglong was disappointed. Huiqi was also disappointed. At the same time, they coincidentally exclaimed, “Eh”.
Only then did Linglong dispel the worries in her heart. This person wasn’t, wasn’t …
Huiqi’s gaze was much gentler as he looked at the burnt face and said, “Are you a child with a scar or a new scar?” Huiqi asked leisurely. The man put on a mask and explained, “It was last year when I contacted Fire Breathing that burned my face.” Huiqi took a sip of wine and reached out to grab a handful of golden melon seeds. When he was about to offer a reward, he asked, “Have you been to the palace before?”
“Your Majesty has never been to Zihua Palace–” The man’s voice was a little hoarse, Huiqi sent the golden claws in his hand. This person was happy or unhappy. Linglong stared at his face for a moment. Although she was wearing a mask, the outline was still a bit similar.
Huiqi asked a few more questions and said, “What’s with your voice?”
“It was caused by drinking a few years ago,” the man said cautiously.
“Wine is a good thing, but you can’t be greedy. Do you know that wine can cause disorder? Wine is a descending tiger, understand?” Huiqi actually began to lecture as if he had taught an acquaintance a lesson. Linglong knew what Huiqi meant. Suddenly, Huiqi’s expression was cold, like a brocade of ice silkworms. He said, “You went too far just now. Giving flowers is different from killing people. Do you understand?” After being broken by Huiqi, the man hurriedly kowtowed on the ground. Huiqi looked at him and said, “Get up first. I’ll give you a present later. Give me your shoulders and arms for me to take a look.” If Huiqi remembered correctly, there were wounds on this person’s shoulders and arms. However, Huiqi couldn’t help but be puzzled when he saw that there weren’t any wounds there. His gaze fell over.
Linglong was quick-witted and said, “I’ll give you a present. You gave me a chrysanthemum just now, and I’ll give you one too.”
Linglong stretched out her hand. The supervisor behind her had already handed over a piece of magenta paper. Linglong held the paper in her hand. After picking up the silver scissors for a moment, she had already opened a piece of paper. Inside was a Yu Yinghua. Although it could not be fake, it still looked lifelike.
Linglong handed the flower over and said, “This flower is for you.”
‘”Thank you, Lady Concubine Yan.” The man caught the flower and put it into his sleeve. This calm, courageous and fearless aura made Huiqi unhappy. Although his eyes had restrained the hope he had, they were still burning like spring sun.
“What kind of program is this?” Huiqi did not let this group of people leave quickly and asked Princess Zhenxi. “It’s the Shaman Dance of the Western barbarians,” said Zhenxi, with a faint pear vortex at the corner of her mouth. “The emperor can take a closer look at the crowd. It is said that these people dance extraordinarily. The emperor–” Zhen Xi reminded Huiqi slightly, “They can summon souls–there are also many new acrobatics that the emperor has not seen. Now that the opportunity is great, why didn’t the emperor give it a try?”
Huiqi said, “What else? I want to see the flame breathing.” Huiqi pointed at the man in purple and said, “You can perform the flame breathing.” The man took a step forward and kowtowed, “Your Majesty, please be careful. Your Majesty, please start performing immediately.” As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the torch in front of him and spat out the flames in a single breath. Huiqi clapped his hands and said, “Alright, spit out the flames-”
The man smiled faintly and said, “The fire comes and goes. The Emperor can just take a look. It’s no big deal.”
It was a little dangerous to shudder in the flames today. Linglong was afraid that Xie Yunxiao would reveal her hidden abilities. She kept looking at Xie Yunxiao with her eyes. Xie Yunxiao and Linglong could be considered to have a common understanding of each other. They quickly stopped talking and said, “Your Majesty, I don’t know many other skills.” Huiqi smiled faintly, “Alright, you don’t need to know too much.”
