Act 89 "The Alliance of the Bright Moon" (6)
October 18, midnight.
The moon rises out of the clouds, and the starlight shines on the atrium.
Lu You anxiously paced the inner courtyard of the Deer Mansion, and would look at the location of the courtyard gate from time to time. In the VIP Pavilion that previously entertained Qianyu Fenghua, Lu You was ordering someone to rearrange the arrangement. According to his reassessment of the internal situation of the Su Kingdom at this moment, if Qianyu Fenghua came this time, Lu You would definitely not let her leave again, unless she would really take Lu You's family away when she left.
In fact, at this moment, Lu You still doesn't know where the real danger is, but his intuition reminds him that all this is definitely not simple. Regardless of whether the clan secretly allied with Gu Yina and the others, whether Gu Yina really planned to show friendship with him when she went to the banquet tonight, or whether she had other plans, Lu You wanted to discuss these issues with Qianyu Fenghua. Because, only Qianyu Fenghua can contact the chilling cicada who sent information to Lu You before.
When the cold moonlight mixed with the starlight fell into the eyes of this old man, who had just returned from the "Heartfelt Restaurant", the frightened Lu Ming stumbled in front of Lu You.
Seeing this, Lu You hurriedly helped Lu Ming up: "What, what happened? It made you so embarrassed!"
Lu Ming tried to calm his emotions: "It's dead! People are dead! Hands and feet are scattered all over the ground, there is a lot of blood! It was killed by the frost sword!"
In just a few words, Lu You felt that things were not simple. He frowned, suppressed the confusion in his heart and said to Lu Ming: "You calm down first." ”
Lu Ming listened and kept adjusting his breathing, while Lu You forcibly emptied his inner chaos during this period, and remained calm and calm with Lu Ming. Time passed little by little in the very rhythmic breathing of the deer.
The remains of the tragic fight that happened in the Heartfelt Restaurant tonight really scared the noble prince of Lufu stupidly. Don't look at the fact that he often travels with a sword, and his skills are okay, but when he sees the scattered corpses that have been dismembered so bloodily by Mo Yan, Lu Ming is still disgusted after all, especially in such a dark and cramped room at that time.
After a long time, Lu You saw that Lu Ming's breathing rhythm was even, so he continued to ask: "What happened, don't be in a hurry to say it slowly." ”
At this moment, when recalling the scene in the Heartfelt Restaurant, I still shuddered: "I looked for the address given by my father, but I didn't see Miss Qianyu and her servant. Only a dismembered corpse was seen. ”
Lu Yo wondered: "Corpse?"
Lu Ming slowed down and continued: "When I went upstairs, there happened to be a frost sword passing by me, and I saw that his waist card should be a deputy commander, but I haven't seen him before. ”
Lu You: "What does he look like?" ”
Lu Ming: "Embarrassing stubble, murderous eyes." ”
Lu You: "You have already seen Liu Fengsoul, the deputy commander of the western part of the Frost Sword and Cold Armor Division, as well as Xia Hui in the south of the city and Han Ji in the east of the city, and the only one you haven't seen is Mo Yan in the north of the city. ”
Lu Ming: "That Mo Yan who is not from a family?"
Lu You: "According to the information provided by the previous 'Chilling Cicada', it should be that this Mo Yan has been secretly checking us, but unfortunately the connection between the Chilling Cicada and me is one-way, only the Chilling Cicada has ever looked for me, and I can't find the Chilling Cicada at all." Otherwise, if you have some doubts, you can communicate directly with the cold cicada, and you don't need to trouble the girl of Qianyu to come to the country of dreams. ”
Lu Ming: "Then what to do now." ”
Deer: "The one who died, must it be in the house of the Thousand Feathers Girl?"
Lu Ming: "Confirm that it is correct, looking at the destroyed furnishings at the scene and the cut surface of the deceased's wound, it should be left by "Frost Cut". And before leaving, the child made sure that there were no traces of other moves left. ”
Lu You: "Frost sword to frost sword, frost cut to frost cut." That means you don't know the person who died, do you?"
Lu Ming thought about it for a while, and almost vomited on the spot in disgust: "I don't know, and I've never seen it." ”
Lu You pondered: "It seems that that person is very likely to be a "chilling cicada". If I'm not mistaken, "Chilling Cicada" should have met with Thousand Feather Kaede at Heartfelt Restaurant tonight, and it turned out to be an accident. Qianyu Fenghua must have learned the news in advance, so she ran away, but why didn't she tell "Chilling Cicada" since she had already learned the news in advance?"
Lu Ming looked at Lu You suspiciously, but listened to Lu Yo muttering to himself: "Why is this?"
And so it went on for a long time.
Father and son sat in the court like stone statues.
When the dark clouds obscured the bright moon in the sky, the starlight gradually dimmed here, and the evening wind blew the deer to chirp and tremble, and the old deer kept muttering: "Could it be that the 'cold cicada' has become an outcast? If so, why did she have to travel thousands of miles to the current crisis-ridden Mingyue City? Why is this?"
Lu Ming inadvertently mentioned: "Unload the mill and kill the donkey?"
"No," although Lu Ming's words did not get Lu Yo's approval, but combined with the previous proposal given to him by Qianyu Fenghua, he won over Gu Yina and the others, and Lu Yo, who was originally confused, immediately had some eyebrows: "'Chilling Cicada' must know more than me." If she had already learned the internal information of the Su Kingdom from the "Cold Cicada", then she must have known about the relationship between Gu Yina and the others and the Frost Sword or the clan, if so, why did she let me win over Gu Yina and the others? Isn't this tantamount to making me the target of public criticism?"
Lu Ming listened, as if he had thought of something, but was about to open his mouth but was directly interrupted by Lu Yo, who woke up like a drunken dream: "Oops! Not good!"
Lu Ming was puzzled: "What's the matter, father?"
Lu Yo gritted his teeth: "This woman is not here to help us at all, but to kill people and punish her heart, and she will never suffer in the future!"
Lu Ming's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of anger: "So, that woman also has to calculate her father, right?"
Lu Yo didn't answer Lu Ming's question, but directly got up and called his subordinates: "Hurry, go and prepare a carriage for me!"
Lu Ming was puzzled: "Where is my father going to go so late?"
Lu yo: "Enter the palace and ask to see the lord of the country!"
Lu Yo's words only made Lu Ming even more confused. Before Lu Ming could figure out what his father was going to do, Lu Yo looked at his current outfit, which was really not suitable for seeing Yun Ji. So it makes sense to accidentally remember one thing, and this incident may allow Lu Yo to be able to save the day when he meets Yun Ji next.
In a panic, the puzzled Lu Ming looked at his father and called his subordinates again: "Go and bring the "cloud pattern" robe that the ancestor once gave me!
......
Dongji Shuguo, the palace of Mingyue City.
At this time, there was still an hour and a half before dawn.
She sat alone on the throne, stroking her forehead and not saying a word.
The red firelight reflected the white skin like a creamy peach. The navy blue robe has the family crests of the four major families of the Suguo Kingdom, highlighting her status and noble identity.
The eyelashes under the willow eyebrows are curled to hide the depth in the eyes.
At this moment, the heavy wolf hairpin on her hair made Yun Ji feel a little tired. She gently stroked the white velvet on her forehead of the "Bloody Eye Frost Hoof" perched on her left side. Next to him, Pu Jia stood on the right side of the throne with the ancient sword "Cloud Tooth" in his hand, with a solemn expression.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Until "Bloody Eyes Frosthoof" slowly opened his eyes.
When she raised her eyes, a delicate woman in a dark blue gauze dress, wrapped in a faint scent of blue musk flowers, came uninvited in the evening breeze. The dark blue gauze robe is tattooed with the pattern of "cloud pattern", which is the family crest of the Yun family.
When the palace people saw this woman, they retreated into the darkness. Yun Ji, who was a little tired, gradually dissipated her sleepiness because of her arrival. Blood-Eyed Frosthoof yawned after glancing at the woman who was walking slowly, and continued to sleep.
When she saw this woman stepping into the palace, Pu Jia on the side thought that she was dazzled several times, until the woman half-knelt under the throne. And said in a familiar voice: "Meet the Lord of the Kingdom." ”
In Pu Jia's memory, this woman should have died in the second war between Mexico and Shu, but now she has appeared alive in front of Pu Jia, is it just a rumor?
"Get up, there are no outsiders here. Yun Ji stroked her forehead and waved her sleeves to show that she was not polite, and there was no trace of emotion in her tone.
"No. The woman listened and slowly got up.
"When did you come back. Yun Ji's faint words made Pu Jia on the side full of doubts.
"Tonight. The woman said slowly.
"I haven't been seen by anyone who has a heart. Yun Ji asked.
"The vast majority of people thought I was dead. The woman's voice echoed in the palace like the sound of a grumbling guqin, "Isn't it, sister." ”
"Good work, Han Mei. Between the words, Yun Ji's eyes seemed to be a little guilty, she wanted to give Han Mei a hug, but she was worried that her action would wake up the sleeping "Bloody Eyes and Frost Hoof" under her knees.
"My sister is outside. Han Mei smiled faintly, "Everything is for our Yun Clan, it doesn't matter if it's hard or not." ”
Yun Ji listened, and replied to Han Mei with a slight smile.
The woman under the throne is the righteous daughter "Han Mei" accepted by Yun Chen. She was originally an orphan, and she had a low-key and introverted temperament since she was a child, and she did not like to be close to people. Although Han Mei is Yunchen's righteous daughter, she has been fostered by Yunchen in Yaoguang City Han's "fence" since she was a child.
So in this way, Han Mei became Han Bin's daughter, and Han Bin became Han Mei's adoptive father, and not many people knew that she actually became Yun Chen's "righteous daughter" first, and then became Han Bin's "adopted daughter". Over the years, only Yun Ji has secretly had a relationship with her, so in addition to Yun Ji, only Yun Fan and Pu Jia will not be unfamiliar with this name.
It can be said that Han Mei's existence is very special, very mysterious, and very embarrassing and helpless. She regarded herself as a person of the Yun family from the bottom of her bones, and she also regarded Yun Ji as her sister like Yun Fan, but she wore the surname of Han. And in the Han family, Han Bin, the head of the Han family, did not really treat her as his daughter, and more often treated her like a "guest", always maintaining a certain sense of distance.
It is worth mentioning that when the Mexican army came to Yaoguang City, it was this adopted daughter Han Mei, who was regarded as a "guest" by Han Bin, who risked her life to pretend to be the city lord of Yaoguang City, which attracted the attention of the Mexican army, and bought valuable time for Han Bin, the head of the Han family, that is, her adoptive father, to leave.
After that, it was rumored that Han's daughter died in the battle of Yaoguang City, and that Han's daughter was Yunchen's righteous daughter "Han Mei". What's more interesting is that the current master of the country, Yun Ji, is actually Han Bin's righteous daughter and apprentice. It can be said that compared to Han Mei's adoption of this daughter Han Mei, Han Bin, the head of the Han family, likes Yun Ji more.
Why?
Because Yun Ji, who seems to be weak, is now not only able to exert part of the power of the "Bloody Eye Frost Hoof", but even knows how to operate the Han Clan's mental method "Ling Frost Jue". As for the Yun family's unique mental method "Dragon Slaying Technique", because Yun Ji is a female streamer, there is no way to learn it.
It's not because the "ancestral rules" are passed on to men and not women, but because the "dragon slaying technique" is too fierce, and if a woman tries to cultivate, it is very likely that she will face the risk of dying due to the difficulty of controlling its fierceness.
Yun Fan can naturally run the "Dragon Slaying Technique", but since he learned that he is not the Yun Clan's bloodline, he basically won't use it unless he has to. In contrast, the "Seven Verticals of the Cloud Dragon" is often used by Yun Fan as a must-kill to defend against the enemy.
It is said that the "Seven Verticals of the Cloud Dragon" was co-created by Asaranti and Yun Han, and was finally brought back by Yun Jin, who returned from the Northern Desert competition, and then passed on to Yun Chen, and finally passed on to Yun Fan.
The cycle of fate is often so wonderful.
In the deep palace, there are only Yun Ji, Pu Jia, Han Mei, and the "Bloody Eye Frost Hoof" who is sleeping soundly at this moment. In fact, Yun Ji thought that Han Mei had died in the battle of the fall of Yaoguang City at first, and it was only recently that she suddenly got this important news that Han Mei was still alive.
It was Han Mei who took the initiative to contact Yun Ji, through Han's.
At this moment, in Mingyue City, under the premise of being blocked by the frost sword, except for the clan, other people and the military must be approved by Yun Ji before they can exchange information with the outside world.
Looking at Han Mei, who was "resurrected from the dead", and surrounded the doubts surrounding the breaking of Yaoguang City, Yun Ji asked curiously: "What happened after Yaoguang City was broken?" ”
Han Mei raised her eyes to meet Yun Ji's gaze, and slowly told the truth at that time: "Just as the rumors say, there was a person who disguised himself as the city lord and attracted the attention of the Mo Kingdom, and then allowed the Han family master to escape. ”
When Han Bin was mentioned, Han Mei hesitated.
In fact, after all these years, she didn't know whether she should call him uncle or father. Although in front of Han Bin, she would definitely call her father, but in front of Yun Ji, Han Mei, who has always been introverted, still called him "Han Bin" as "the head of the Han family" or directly called him, and then covered up the complex emotions in his heart.
Yun Ji: "That person is you, right?" ”
Han Mei: "Yes. ”
Yun Ji: "What happened later. ”
Han Mei: "It was 'Jianying' who saved me." ”
"Jian Ying?" Hearing this, Yun Ji frowned and pondered for a moment, before asking Han Mei suspiciously: "Didn't he leave the Kingdom of Shuguo with Su Xian after the 'Mingguang Change', how could he appear in Yaoguang City?"
Han Mei: "In addition to Jian Ying, Su Xian, Qi Shan, and Qiu Yu are all in Yaoguang City now. Because of Jian Yingsuxian's reputation, even the Mexican army after the city was broken later did not dare to touch them, and it was precisely because of their protection that I was able to survive in the end. ”
Han Mei's words made Pu Jia on the side feel very surprised. Not only Pu Jia, but even Yun Ji was a little mixed with joy and sorrow: "Then what is their position now?"
Han Mei heard the deep meaning of Yun Ji's words.
"Sister rest assured, Jian Ying and the others did not surrender to Mexico. ”
Hearing this, Yun Ji's worries gradually dissipated, and there was a little more self-reproach in her eyes: "Then how are they doing now?"
Han Mei: "Alone in the Han family's compound in Yaoguang City, I guarded the thousand-year-old tree in the hospital for the Han family. With the skills of Jian Ying, Su Xian and Qi Yi, even the bravest warriors in Mexico did not dare to approach easily. ”
Yun Ji thought to herself, as the most talented swordsman in the entire Ji Dynasty, "Jian Ying" stepped into the "Realm of Heart Martial Arts" hand in hand with his partner "Su Xian" as early as the age of seventeen, and "Qi Yi" is a tenth-order peak martial artist, plus there is "Qiu Yu" to advise them, there is really no big problem in self-preservation.
In fact, as one of the few celebrities in the country who has obtained the "Luminous Cup" today, with the wisdom of "Autumn Dawn" alone, without the help of Jian Ying and others, it is enough to make those reckless men in the country retreat.
The difference with Lu Weiwen is that Qiu Yu's "luminous cup" was given by Yun Chen, the lord of the country. At the beginning, if she hadn't come to offer advice, I was afraid that the "Bright Light Change" would directly lead to the dream of the country after the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation", and then it would be torn apart because of many trivial matters.
As for why she and the deeds of Jian Ying and others were not mentioned in such a long story earlier, this is inseparable from Qiu Yu's low-key and introverted personality, as well as the deliberate arrangement of Han Bin, the head of the Han family.
Qiu Yu is about the same age as Yun Ji.
It can be said that it is precisely because of Qiu Yu's help that Han Bin was able to win over Jian Ying and Su Xian, who had decided to leave the kingdom of Shu, and step by step let the Yaoguang Han clan sit firmly in the position of the four great families of the kingdom of Shu.
After thinking about it, Yun Ji had doubts in her heart, and said: "With their skills, it should be easy to break out of the encirclement, why are they still dying in Yaoguang City now." ”
Han Mei: "After the "Mingguang Change", the Han family treated the four of them as guests. Therefore, when the Mexican Kingdom invaded again and Yaoguang City was broken, Jian Ying and others gave back to the Han family with a 'gift of honor', guarding the Han family's compound for the Han family, as well as the thousand-year-old red plum tree that was regarded as a treasure by the Han family, so that it would be saved from war and slaughter. ”
Speaking of which, Yun Ji originally wanted to continue to ask Han Mei why Jianying and the others would choose to leave Shuguo after the "Mingguang Change" and become the guests of the Han family, and what was Han Bin's purpose in keeping Jianying and the others. However, these doubts finally forced Yun Ji to hold back for some reason, and turned around: "So, this time you can escape from Yaoguang City, and you also have their help, right?"
Han Mei: "Mr. Qiu Yu has given me a plan, but the main reason why I was able to escape was because the army of the Mexican Kingdom had changed in Yaoguang City during this time. ”
Yun Ji thought carefully: "The reason for the change of the Mexican army is because the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom is about to fight, so there is no hidden reason for rushing to deploy defenses?"
Han Mei: "As far as I know, it's mainly because of the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country. ”
Between the words, Yun Ji suddenly remembered that she had secretly confessed to Han Mei to investigate the mystery of Yun Chen and the blue wolf Hanjia in the "Battle of Jingwei Pass", so she was ready to ask her about this matter, and now she has a little eyebrows. As a result, the sudden intrusion of a palace official outside the hall made the conversation between Yun Ji and Han Mei have to come to an end temporarily.
With a tactful light in her eyes under her eyelashes, Han Mei comprehended Yun Ji's intentions, and slowly retreated into the shadows of the main hall. Then Yun Ji's gaze showed fatigue again: "What's the matter?"
The palace people bowed and said, ""Dasi Nong" Lu You will come to see you. ”
Yun Ji glanced at Pu Jia suspiciously, and Pu Jia immediately briefly told Yun Ji some things about Lu You in Yun Ji's ear. Yun Ji listened, thought for a moment, and then waved her sleeves: "Xuan." ”
The palace people who bowed slowly got up and respectfully retreated.
Then, Lu You slowly ascended to the main hall wearing a "cloud pattern" robe. Yun Ji knew this robe. This was given by Yun Chen in recognition of Lu You's merits in the follow-up case trial of "The Change of Bright Light".
Yun Ji, the delicate lord of the country, felt that "the comer is not good" at this moment, and Pu Jia's face also became a little ugly at the same moment. The "Bloody Eyes and Frost Hoof", which was originally asleep, may have captured Yun Ji's emotional changes, so he slowly opened his eyes and looked coldly at the scrawny Lu You under the throne.
When Lu You's gaze touched the bloody eyes of the "Bloody Eyes and Frost Hoof", the unprecedented sense of fear and oppression immediately caused Lu You's legs to fall to his knees.
No one went to help the deer, and no one dared to help the deer.
And at this moment, Lu You didn't care about this.
Cold sweat inadvertently soaked the old man's clothes, and with just a quick glance, the old man no longer dared to raise his head. He thought to himself, "This is the rumored Bloody Eyes Frosthoof?"
