Chapter 134 Emperor Tai'an is Critically Ill? Strange Phenomena Appear at the Beginning of Heav
I turned my head slightly and saw several people lying on the ground, already dead. Judging from their attire, they were probably bandits or outlaws.
It's attacking itself, probably because it couldn't recognize itself.
"It's all about timing and fate. I hope I won't be a bandit or a brigand in my next life."
He sighed apologetically at these people and said something.
He then ignored the dead and continued on his way, aimlessly wandering wherever his path led him.
…………
Three months later,
After his travels, Helian Yun Shen returned to the small town where he had lived and grown up, and built a thatched hut not far from his master's grave.
He began living a semi-retired life.
town streets
Helian Yun Shen wore a bamboo hat and hemp clothing. In front of him was a fish basket with several fish quietly waiting for someone destined to buy them.
"Did you hear that?"
The conversation nearby startled Helian Yunshen, who was resting and pricked up his ears to listen to what he thought was just some casual conversation after dinner.
"I've heard about it. I never imagined His Majesty would be critically ill."
"This is not the most serious thing. I heard that Tianqi City has already fallen into chaos, and His Majesty's eight princes have set their sights on the throne."
That will definitely lead to chaos.
"When has the royal family ever been without turmoil? These kinds of things don't affect us poor people; we can just treat them as casual conversation after dinner."
"makes sense."
'I never imagined Xiao Ruofeng's father was critically ill! It seems like only three months have passed since I last saw him.'
After hearing this news, Helian Yun Shen was not interested in the princes vying for the throne at all. The only thing that impressed him was how badly Xiao Ruo Feng's father's health had deteriorated.
It's only been three months and it's already like this.
As he pondered this, the sound of horses' hooves reached Helian Yunshen's ears. He stopped his thoughts, adjusted his bamboo hat, and looked up in the direction from which the sound of hooves was coming.
What came into view was a man dressed in black armor, with a long straight sword at his waist and a spear in his hand, riding a horse carrying a bow and arrows and heading towards Helian Yun Shen's direction.
When they arrived in front of Helian Yun Shen,
Pull the reins to stop the horse.
The fact that these elite soldiers stopped caused the vendors and civilians to all look towards Helian Yunshen.
He dismounted, knelt on one knee before Helian Yun Shen, and bowed with clasped hands.
"Lord Lingjue, His Majesty requests your presence in Tianqi City to discuss important matters."
"I'm not going!" Helian Yun Shen's reply was crisp and simple, just two words. After saying that, he ignored the elite soldiers, who looked embarrassed after being rejected.
The surrounding vendors and people were stunned. They never expected that the vendor who had been selling river fish in town these days was actually the Marquis of Beili!
"My lord, I beg you not to make things difficult for me. If you don't go, His Majesty will kill us."
He spoke again, his words carrying a coercive undertone.
Upon hearing this, Helian Yun Shen looked up at the armored soldiers again, and in his heart, he felt that what the soldiers said was an exaggeration.
However, Helian Yun Shen was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see others being innocently implicated because of him, so he raised his hand and took off the bamboo hat on his head.
He glanced at the sky and then at the armored soldiers.
"You may go back now! I will return to see His Majesty later."
"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Marquis!" Upon hearing Helian Yun Shen's reply, the armored soldiers were overjoyed. They repeatedly thanked Helian Yun Shen, then stood up, mounted their horses, and left.
Noticing the stares of those around him, Helian Yun Shen picked up the fish basket, put on his bamboo hat, and left.
…………
In less than a day,
Helian Yun Shen then arrived in Tianqi City. The moment he stepped into the city, he could clearly feel that the entire city was exuding a gunpowder smell that could be ignited at any moment.
The once bustling streets became deserted, with hardly anyone around, and almost everyone staying indoors. Even the powerful families within the inner city behaved the same way!
He paid little attention to these things and walked directly into the Northern Li Imperial Palace.
Helian Yun Shen entered the palace and came and went freely without anyone stopping him. Relying on his own knowledge, he quickly arrived at the so-called bedroom of Emperor Tai An.
"You're perfectly fine, why did you let people outside say you were critically ill?"
The moment I stepped in,
What Helian Yun Shen saw was Emperor Tai'an sitting calmly on the couch, holding a book in his hand, showing no signs of being critically ill.
He casually sat down next to Emperor Tai'an, picking up the fresh fruit on the table and putting it in his mouth, completely disregarding the fact that Emperor Tai'an was the emperor.
Emperor Tai'an didn't say anything about Helian Yunshen's performance, since it would be useless to say anything anyway.
"I did have some health problems a few days ago, but I have recovered after being treated by the Medicine King of Medicine King Valley, so it seems that there is nothing seriously wrong with me."
However, I can feel that my body is now like a candle flickering in the wind; how much longer I can live is up to fate.
Putting down his book, Emperor Tai'an explained to Helian Yunshen, while also lamenting his impending death and his longing for life.
"If that's the case, why let your sons start eyeing it covetously? The moment I entered Tianqi City, I could feel that there were undercurrents surging within it."
"Perhaps one of your sons will seize your position in a couple of days."
At this point, Helian Yun Shen paused for a moment, putting down what he was holding. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he calmly questioned Emperor Tai An.
"If you're not going to die, why did you send me here? Are you planning to get rid of these people? Or are you planning something else?"
"Eliminate you? I believe that's just wishful thinking. I know about your battle with a reclusive master in that small town of Snow Moon City."
Given your condition and the intensity of the battle, I don't believe anyone here can eliminate you.
He shook his head in denial, responding to Helian Yunshen's question.
At the same time, he replied to Helian Yun Shen with great self-awareness. After hearing these words from Emperor Tai'an, who was very self-aware, Helian Yun Shen became even more puzzled as to why Emperor Tai'an had summoned him.
Is it just to have a casual chat with me?
"I summoned you here only because I hope you can stay in Tianqi City during this time, stand by my side, and accompany me as I watch my sons vie for power."
"Are you still worried that I'll join in?"
