A Clash of Gods - Chapter 917

[Chapter 907]

When Qi Ning entered the palace, the sky was already dark. The eunuch took Qi Ning to the imperial study. After Qi Ning entered, the atmosphere was different from before.

He saw Long Tai behind the imperial desk at first glance, and out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Ma Lan from the Zhenguo Company. Besides Long Tai and Sima Lan, Tantai Huang, the waiter of the golden sword, was also present.

Qi Ning was a little surprised. He had used the rough tea at the Golden Sabre Mansion at noon, but he did not see the Golden Sabre Waiter himself, but he didn’t want him to appear in the palace.

Tantai Huang’s expression was calm. When Qi Ning came in, he turned his gaze over and was calm, but Sima Lan’s expression was solemn and seemed to be full of worries.

Qi Ning went up to meet him. It has been a long time since he saw Long Tai in Fengyi Palace last time. Long Tai’s spirit is not very good, he looks a little tired, and he looks a little thinner. Qi Ning frowned slightly. , I know that Longtai has been singing every night in the harem for the past half month, and the newlywed Yan Er is more restrained with the queen, which makes it seem so decadent.

Long Tai winked and motioned for Qi Ning to sit first under the Golden Sabre Waiting. Qi Ning respectfully stepped back and sat down on the chair, but he was very curious, and he didn’t know why Long Tai called himself into the palace.

The appearance of Sima Lan in the palace is not a big deal. As the auxiliary minister, he often enters the palace, which is reasonable, but Tantai Huang’s appearance in the palace is a big surprise. , Not to mention entering the palace, Tantai Huang, the waiter of the golden sword, hardly even appears in the previous dynasty, and spends all the year recuperating in the mansion.

Several people didn’t speak. Although Qi Ning was full of doubts, but the other three didn’t speak up, he didn’t easily throw the topic out.

After a while, Tantai Huang suddenly said: “Your Majesty, the old minister wanted to go out and get some air, so he just walked around in the yard and asked the Emperor to be kind!”

“Come on, help the old man out to get some air.” Longtai summoned him without hesitation.

Tantai Huang smiled and said, “Your Majesty, you don’t have to bother them.” Turning to Qi Ning, he asked, “Jinyi Hou, I wonder if I can help this old man out for a walk?”

Qi Ning was startled, but he didn’t hesitate. He stood up immediately, and said, “It’s an honor!” He stepped forward to help Tantai Huang carefully, and Sima Lan also got up and said with concern, “Old Marquis, take care. !”

Tantai Huang smiled slightly, and did not say much. He raised his hand slightly, Qi Ning understood what he meant, and helped him slowly out of the imperial study.

Outside the imperial study is a wide garden. A limestone path winds forward, dotted with flowers and plants on both sides. The pattern of the entire garden is ingenious and exquisite. This is the place where the emperor handles his affairs alone. , and very quiet.

Qi Ning supported Tantai Huang’s arm and walked slowly along the rhythm of Tantai Huang.

Tantai Huang suddenly wanted to come out to breathe, and asked Qi Ning to come out to accompany him. No matter how slow Qi Ning’s response was, he knew that it was unusual, and there must be a reason.

After waiting for a whole morning at the Golden Sabre Mansion this morning, and having a rough meal, but Tantai Huang had avoided seeing him from beginning to end, Qi Ning knew that something big would happen.

Walking along the winding path for a while, Tantai Huang stopped and patted the back of Qi Ning’s hand lightly. Qi Ning followed his gaze and saw a white marble table not far away, with four white marble circles beside it. , Qi Ning knew what Tantai Huang meant, helped him walk over, and carefully helped him sit down. From beginning to end, he was extremely respectful to Tantai Huang.

Tantai Huang is the oldest among the four hereditary marquis, and he is a few years older than Sima Lan. Now it seems that he no longer has the majesty and old-fashioned, but between his eyebrows, Yu Wei is still there.

Old Marquis Jindao motioned for Qi Ning to sit down, raised his head, and a new moon rose in the east corner. Qi Ning did not speak easily. After a while, he heard the old Marquis ask, “Are you getting married soon?”

Qi Ning was stunned. He didn’t expect the old man to ask such a question, but he still respectfully said: “Yes, on the eighteenth of August, there are still half a month left!”

“Marrying a wife and having children, making achievements, and honoring the ancestors, this is what every man has to do.” Tantai Huang’s voice was calm: “Back then, when your father was much younger than you,

The old man knows that you are different from your father. Your father was already strong when he was young, and you are much weaker than him.

”

Qi Ning just smiled, secretly speculating about the intentions of Jin Daohou.

“The old man has three characters under his knees, the eldest son Zhilin, the second son Zhiqi, and the youngest son Zhixiu.” The old man was like a family man, his voice was gentle: “The eldest son and the second son have followed the old man on the battlefield for a long time, and they have established a lot of achievements. The military exploits can be regarded as not humiliating the Tantai family’s family name.”

Qi Ning felt strange in his heart, thinking that he had heard that the old marquis of the Golden Sabre seemed to have only two sons, how could he suddenly have an extra son, and he just listened to the old marquis continue: “It’s a pity that the second son Zhiqi is here. During a war, he was suddenly infected with a serious illness. The disease that spread in the army at that time took hundreds of extra lives. Zhi Qi was very lucky. He did not die on the battlefield, but died of a serious illness. Down.”

Qi Ning was startled, only then did he realize that the old Marquis Jindao did have three sons, but one of them contracted the disease and died in his early years, so he couldn’t help but comfort him, “Don’t be too sad, the old marquis.”

Tantai Huang sighed: “The old man is not sad about his passing, but sad that he did not die in battle. When he left, he must be very unwilling!”

Qi Ning’s expression was solemn, but he thought that this old man must have come to the palace just to gossip with himself.

“A man from the Tantai family, it is an honor to die on the battlefield.” Tantai Huang’s expression also became serious: “When the eldest son Zhilin was born, his grandfather asked a master to take care of his life, and the old man remembers that master. I told the old man that the old man fights on the battlefield and kills too much, which may damage the wickedness of future generations.”

Qi Ning sighed in his heart, thinking that if he really wanted to say this, he couldn’t say anything wrong. The old marquis in Jinyi made great military achievements and became the first military family in Da Chu, but the third master of the Qi family passed away early, and Qi Jing also passed away in middle age. It was the real Jinyi Prince who also died unintentionally, and the line of the Jinyi Old Marquis can be said to have been cut off.

As soon as he succeeds, his bones will die, and the more powerful the famous general in the world, the more blood will be stained on his hands.

“Zhi Lin’s grandfather listened to the Master’s words, and even asked the Master to give him a way to break it.” Tantai Huang’s voice was calm, without the slightest emotion: “The way Master left is to let the Tantai family descendants before their first expedition, Plant a tree of constant shade to preserve yin virtue.”

“Chang Yinshu?” Qi Ning was a little strange, but thought about it, after all, in this era, people are still very concerned about fate, and killing too much is harmful to Yin virtue. This is a legend that has existed since ancient times. Not out of nowhere.

Tantai Huang is still narrating: “Zhi Lin’s first appearance, according to what the master said back then, he planted a tree of constant shade. He has experienced hundreds of battles, and although he was injured countless times, he was able to turn the corner every time.”

Qi Ning knew that Tantai Huang suddenly said these things to himself today, not because of old words, there must be a reason for it, so he didn’t interrupt, and listened patiently.

“Zhi Lin is the eldest son of this old man and acts prudently, but Zhi Qi is different from his elder brother.” A smile appeared on the corner of Tantai Huang’s lips: “Zhi Qi is naughty, lest the world will not be chaotic, since he is sensible, it is trouble. Not much, the child is upright and chivalrous, perhaps because he is too similar to the old man when he was young, and the old man tolerated him a lot. When he first went out with the old man, he was stubborn and did not plant a tree of everlasting shade. !”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, wondering if Tantai Zhiqi later fell ill and died because he didn’t plant the Changshade tree?

“The old man has always been suspicious of Chang Yinshu. Since the child is stubborn, the old man will go with him.” Tantai Huang said slowly: “A man fights on the battlefield and makes achievements, how can he not die? Killing a person is a thief. , Tu Wanwen is the hero, there is nothing to say about it. At that time, the old man never thought that a Changshade tree would really be able to keep his peace. It was not until Zhiqi passed away that the old man realized that maybe it was because the child did not have it. If you plant a tree of everlasting shade, you will die young!”

The Old Marquis of the Golden Sabre is worthy of being born in the iron and blood battlefield. When talking about this past, he is still calm and composed, just like gossip at home.

“I conquered the Quartet in the great Chu, established the country and established the capital. Later, Zhi Lin went to the East China Sea to lead the East Sea Division, and Zhi Xiu went to the Xichuan Army Corps.” Tantai Huang looked at Qi Ning: “Over the years, the two trees in the Golden Sabre Mansion have always been The shade tree, the old man waters it himself every day, decades have passed, and now it is a towering tree, more and more lush.”

At this time, Qi Ning finally interjected: “Those two Changshade trees will surely keep the two generals safe and sound.”

Tantai Huang smiled lightly and said, “Going down today, the old man UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com ordered people to cut down the Changyin tree that Zhi Lin personally planted more than 30 years ago, and even the roots were uprooted. ”

Qi Ning was taken aback and lost his voice: “Cut down the Changyin tree?”

“Changyinshu is to keep them safe and sound. Since everyone is dead, what is the use of Changyinshu?” Tantai Huang said: “Since Zhilin is gone, of course the Changyin tree will not be there. necessary to exist.”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and Qi Ning opened his eyes wide and his pupils contracted.

Tantai Zhilin is dead?

Tantai Zhilin, the governor of the East Sea Division of Great Chu, died?

Qi Ning Wan never expected to hear such ground-breaking news from Tantai Huang’s mouth, opened his mouth, but was speechless for a while.

The Tantai family, as one of the four hereditary marquis, has a very high status in the state of Chu. Now that the old marquis of Tantai is very old, he has rarely been involved in world affairs, so the hope of the Tantai family is pinned on it. On Tantai Zhilin, the son of the golden sword.

Qi Ning knew that the two sons of the Tantai family, the eldest son Tantai Zhilin led the East Sea Division, while Tantai Zhixiu was far away from the Xichuan Corps. Destined to inherit the title of the Golden Swordsman.

If Qinhuai Corps has always been the sphere of influence of the Jinyi Qi family, then the East Sea Division is the sphere of influence of the Golden Sabre Tantai, the land tiger, and the angry sea dragon, the two are the two pillars of the imperial party.

Although Tantai Zhixiu leads the Xichuan Legion, the Xichuan Legion is weak and its equipment is far less than that of other legions. In addition, there are many internal factions, even the Sima family has a power in the Xichuan Legion, so the Tantai family really controls The strength is the East Sea Master under the command of Tantai Zhilin.

The future of the entire Tantai family depends entirely on Tantai Zhilin’s body, but now that Tantai Zhilin, who was the pillar of the Tantai family, died, how could Qi Ning not be surprised?
