Chapter 2: The Valley of Despair
"Xuanyi, you take care of it, and send the princess to the Valley of Despair in the afternoon, and when the princess returns, I will contact King Dugu and the Leng family sect master to discuss the plan."
"Yes," Xuan Yi nodded, and a hint of uncertainty flashed in his eyes
afternoon
A carriage slowly drove out, Helian Xinya stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, only to see a group of people kneeling on the ground to see her off
"Xuanyi, where are we going," she asked curiously, the ink-robed man sitting opposite, lowering her hand
Xuan Yi smiled lightly, invisibly with a soothing warmth, "Princess, let's go to the Valley of Despair"
"What to do there, is it fun there" Hyun Yi was the first person she saw when she woke up, so she always trusted him extraordinarily, "Or can I remember the past?"
Thinking of this, Helian Xinya showed a happy smile, and her clear eyes flashed with a little starlight, like an ice lotus blooming in an instant
Looking at that beautiful smile, Xuan Yi was slightly stunned, avoiding her expectant gaze, "Does the princess want to remember the past?"
How can the line between life and death be interesting in the Valley of Despair, and it is said that it is the most terrifying place in the world, but it is almost the same, and those people are really hard-hearted
"I want to remember that I want to go back to the past, and every night this place is always aching, and I want to know why," Helian Xinya raised her hand to press her heart, frowning slightly
"Princess......" Xuan Yi was silent for a long time, and her bewitching face showed a little sadness
The carriage drove for a long time before it stopped, and Xuan Yi looked up to find that the person opposite had already fallen asleep
It's just that even in her sleep, she didn't sleep well, and there was even a crystal teardrop hanging from the corner of her eye, Xuanyi sighed, reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, and picked her up
It's full of cliffs all around, so it's not scary
When Helian Xinya woke up, she was leaning against a tree, not far away, Xuan Yi was standing on the edge of the cliff with her back to her, and her ink robe rose in the wind
She rubbed her eyes and stood up, walking slowly towards him, her white clothes fluttering like snow
"Ahh
As she approached the cliff, she suddenly cried out in a broken voice, and some broken pieces flashed in her mind, causing her great pain and fear
"What's the matter, princess" Hearing her cry, Xuan Yi immediately turned around and saw her lying on the cliff with a panicked face, and hurriedly stepped forward to check
"It's so high here, I'm afraid we'll go back, okay," she clutched his sleeve robe, her eyes covered with a layer of mist, and she looked at Xuan Yi almost pleadingly
"No, we can't go back"
Xuan Yi paused, directly reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, and forcibly led her towards the outermost edge of the cliff despite her fear
It is inevitable that there will be a shadow on the high places after falling off the cliff, but the Helian family would never want a princess who is afraid of the cliff, so he had to do it
For herself, for Helian and for her
"Xuanyi, I'm scared ......" tears had already soaked his clothes
Stopping at the outermost edge, Xuan Yi looked down at the pitiful appearance of the tearful man in her arms, and finally couldn't bear it, and the strength of her eyes on her waist relaxed
"Princess, I'll pick you up in a month," he reassured in a soft voice
"I don't want it, I don't want it."
When the words fell, Xuanyi jumped into the air, and the figures of the two people quickly disappeared in mid-air
……………………
Central Plains Capital Post House
Li'er fell to her knees on the ground and trembled uncontrollably
"The king's slave and slave are completely ignorant of this matter, and ask the king to be merciful," her whole body was covered with hideous and terrifying blood marks, and her blood-soaked dress was unrecognizable, and the whole person was tortured and tortured
Shouting evil and Chu Han stood on the left and right side of His Highness, holding his breath, and he didn't even dare to make a sound, and from time to time he glanced at the gloomy Dugu in the hall
After returning from the Central Plains, the king almost sent people to search the entire capital, but he didn't find Mu Xinya's figure, and even more, it has been rumored that Miss Mu Fu had already been forced to jump off the cliff and commit suicide by the killers sent by the desert, and some people jumped out to refute that it was Mu Chengtian's ruthless hand
But no matter who did it, first of all, there is one thing, that is, after the king hears the news, the post house and even the entire desert will set off a storm of blood and rain, and people will be panicked
Even if the whole world said that the woman was dead, the king would never believe that he would spend his life looking for her until he found her
"Your Majesty," one of the guards ran up coldly, holding a blue bloody coat in his hand
After seeing the bloody clothes, Li'er was suddenly frightened and sat directly on the ground weakly
Dugu Jue raised his eyes slightly, only one look, and the guard immediately comprehended, and quickly presented the bloody clothes and spread them out carefully
"Pass my life to the Central Plains to kill Mu Xinya" A line of blood words came into his eyes
Chu Han and Hu Han Xie both secretly gasped and watched Dugu Jue slowly stand up, his handsome face flickering
He walked slowly towards Li'er who was kneeling on the ground, and the powerful aura and faint anger made Li'er subconsciously retreat, and her spine was cold
Dugu stopped in front of her, staring coldly at the devastated little maid in front of her
"You still don't know," he slowly crouched down, his slender fingers digging into her chin, his voice like three feet of ice
The evidence is ironclad
"The king's slaves and maids are all ordered by the cold master, but the slaves and maids are wrong, and the slaves and maids deserve death, begging the king to spare their lives."
Li'er looked at the handsome god-like man in front of her with teary eyes, and at this moment she was punishing her for another woman, and her deep jealousy was turning over in her heart
"Your master's account book will be sorted out by the king, and as for you," Dugu suddenly let go of her jaw, causing her to fall to the ground unsteadily
Seeing this, Chu Han immediately respectfully presented a piece of brocade for him to clean his hands
"Pull it down and put it to death," he said indifferently, the most brutal death penalty in the world
Li'er's face turned pale and she cried out in a moment: "Why is that woman so good, where is she better than Master Leng?"
Hu Han Xie reacted immediately, quickly made a look, and the two guards stepped forward quickly and forcibly dragged her away
Ignoring the cry of His Royal Highness's maidservant before she died, Dugu turned around and picked up the wine glass full of sake on the table and drank it all
Where the hell is that woman?
To him, she is good everywhere, and no one can compare to her
The voice of the servant girl crying is getting farther and farther away, Chu Han took a step forward and thought about it: "It's better for the king to drink less."
"Yes, the king should take care of his body," Hu Han Xie also spoke bitterly on the side
It's a pity that Dugu didn't pay any attention to it, just waved his hand and motioned for them to retreat
Both shook their heads helplessly and saluted, ready to retreat
"Chu Han, you stay," suddenly Dugu said coldly
An ominous premonition arose, and Chu Han was stunned in place, and even Hu Hanxie, who was walking out, glanced at him sympathetically before leaving silently
Chu Han stood for a long time, but he didn't wait for a word, he lowered his head weakly, and said righteously: "Does the king want to talk about Poria Cocos, Poria has already known that she is wrong, she has been thinking about it behind closed doors for the past few days, if the king still blames, please punish Chu Han" The person who helped Mu Xinya escape was Poria Cocos, after he knew about it, his heart hurt so much that he couldn't sleep for a few days and couldn't eat, you must know that if Mu Xinya really has three long and two short, Xiao Poria will be to blame
"This matter has nothing to do with Poria Cocos" Suddenly, the dawn in front of Chu Han's eyes suddenly appeared
"I knew she wouldn't be willing to stay here and wait for me to come back," Dugu's distracted voice continued to sound, "She has someone else ...... in her heart."
"Your Majesty," Chu Han understood the meaning of his words, he was so choked that he couldn't speak, and muttered in a low voice for a while: "In fact, there is a proud son of heaven like the king, and it is too uncontented to treat Miss Mu sincerely."
"Chu Han, do you have a younger brother?"
"My brother's name is Chu Xuanyi, but I haven't seen him for more than ten years."
…………
After Hu Han Xie came out of the temple, he was just in time for Li'er to be executed
First, the hands and feet were broken, so the white and tender hands and feet were cut down alive, the blood was flying, the flesh was blurred, and the little maid was already frightened and fainted
Even if you faint, you can die a happy death
Cruel capital punishment like this is rarely used on a weak woman, and she is only blamed for running into it
Hu Hanye glanced at it and prepared to leave
"Lord Huhan, someone from outside has just delivered a letter," the guard guarding the door suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a letter in his hand
Hu Han Xie groaned and asked, "Who sent it?"
"I don't know who it is that I let the child forward."
"Oh," Hu Han Xie reached out and took it suspiciously, usually letters of unknown origin would be opened by him first
First, to prevent people from being bored, and second, to prevent the letter from being poisonous
As soon as the letter was held in his hand, a strong scent of ink came to his nose, and he opened it, picked up several lines of vigorous and powerful characters, and entered his eyes
"The vastness of the universe, the infinite fate of yin and yang, and the fate of the fate are all vain, Helian has changed drastically, and a month later, he invited King Dugu to move to the Valley of Despair to discuss the plan"
"What kind of place is this in the Valley of Despair," Hu Han Xie thought about it for a moment in his mind, but now that it was an extraordinary period, he naturally didn't dare to delay, and immediately took the letter and went to find Dugujue
A moment later, Hu Han Evil, who had just left, reappeared in the hall
"Why are you back again," Chu Han asked him in surprise
However, it would be better for him to return, at least to alleviate the oppression he was subjected to in front of the king
Hu Han Xie directly skipped his words, stepped forward and presented the letter in his hand to Dugu Jue, "Someone above the king sent this"
Dugu's eyes lit up and took the letter
If he said that his heart was still clouded before reading this letter, then this letter brought him unprecedented gospel
"Heartless Valley," he pursed his thin lips, and even shook his body a few times
"Do you want to continue looking for it," Hu Han Ye immediately smelled something keenly, although he didn't understand the letter
"Of course you have to look for it, and in a month, the two of you will go to the Valley of Despair with me," Dugu's eyes faintly flashed a few smiles, and under the surprised gaze of the two people around him, he waved his long sleeves and then strode away
Seeing this, Chu Han's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he took a long breath and smiled at Hu Han Evil
In this way, it seems that Miss Mu must be safe and sound, so his little Poria will no longer have to suffer from the curfew
