Chapter 13: The Loss of the Iraqi People

Perhaps it was because the blockages and blockages of the Hidden Dust Xuan had left the front hall and not returned, and the people in the front hall had suspended their hostility one after another, and rushed to the back mountain in large numbers. When people set foot on www.biquge.info the back mountain, what they saw was that Yuan Jiutian was dead, Chan'er had fallen off the cliff, and the four people who were following the two were in a mess.

Just when everyone was confused, suddenly a voice came:

"Why do a few donors bother to kill more ......"

And when people blinked their eyes and looked again, there was already a monk standing between Yuan Sanxiang, Blocking Rut, Zhan Duxiao and the masked man, dissolving the moves of the four people.

"Amitabha. Yi Shen, Pranya and leisurely saw the person clearly, and whispered in the crowd.

"Yibei, you haven't stepped out of Ci'an Temple for several years, why bother with this matter today?" Yuan Sanxiang said with an unkind expression.

"Today's events are all about a treasure map. The old man asked for this picture from the main blocking place of the Hidden Dust Xuanxuan. The abbot of Ci'an Temple, Yibei, spread out his right palm, and there was a yellowed silk cloth folded into several folds in his palm.

"Is that a real treasure map?"

"Monks don't speak. ”

"Okay, even if Blockade handed over the real picture to you, how do you know that he didn't draw another copy in advance and put it away?"

"The old man believes in the personality of the Lord of the Xuan Dynasty, so he will come here with this picture. Besides, if the Lord of Xuan had the heart to swallow the treasure privately, I am afraid that this picture would have been gone for a long time. As soon as Yibei's voice fell, his right hand suddenly clenched, accumulating the true qi on the fingers of his right hand, and when he opened his hand again, only a handful of scraps were scattered with the wind.

"What are you doing here!"

"Lao Wei destroyed this picture in front of all the benefactors today, and since then, Prince Su's treasure has become a legend, and the rivers and lakes can be safe. ”

"Good, good. Count you ......ruthlessly," Yuan Sanxiang said, "The treasure map matter is a big deal, so let's stop it." But the blood feud of the ninth brother, I will make them pay it back!"

"Third brother, what's wrong with ninth brother?" Yuan Yiqiang finally seized the opportunity to ask.

"He was killed by that little girl in Hidden Dust Xuan......"

"How is this possible?" said Yuan Wuzhen in disbelief.

"Where is that girl?" Yuan Liujie's eyes turned red for a while.

"Hmph, if you fall from this cliff, I'm afraid you will fall to your death. ”

"Ahh

"You ......" blocked the rut and became angry, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Plug Childe. Prajna spoke out in time.

People tend to make wrong judgments when their minds are confused. Childe must remember that good and evil are in one thought. Amitabha.

Remembering what Prajna had said to himself, he immediately closed his eyes and tried his best to force himself to stop his chaotic thoughts, calming down for the time being.

"Childe is really a person with wise roots. Pranya nodded appreciatively.

"Okay, I can leave it at that...... I don't care about all the people who are enemies of my Hidden Dust Xuan today. But Chan'er was killed by someone from the Yuan family, and I won't forget this account. He said in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Since the donor is a man of great wisdom, why should he cling to his grudges and cannot extricate himself? It is a fact that Yuan Jiutian's benefactor wanted to rob the treasure map of Yinchen Xuan, and it is also a fact that Ling Mei killed Yuan Shizhu by mistake. It's better to let all grievances end here. Yibei said, and looked at the four members of the Yuan family again, "Your enemy is dead, why do you want to implicate others?"

"The ninth brother has long been born without love, maybe he did it ......on purpose," Yuan Yiqiang, who said very little, said in a deep voice.

"I know, but he's our ninth brother, so forget it?" said Yuan Sanxiang who refused to back down.

"It's the freedom he wants, and it's not a good thing for him. ”

Among the brothers of the Yuan family, Yuan Yiqiang is tired of strife and yearns for peace, Yuan Wuzhen has a perverse personality and is indifferent, Yuan Liujie is short-tempered and moody, and Yuan Sanxiang generally comes forward in everything, but when the brothers have different opinions, it is Yuan Yiqiang's decision that can be suppressed. And at this moment, what Yuan Yiqiang wants is just to calm things down.

“…… The master is a man of great wisdom, and I can't see the plug for a while, but I promise...... At least I won't take the initiative to seek revenge on the Yuan family. After he finished speaking, he no longer glanced at the Yuan family, and walked down the mountain with his sleeves first, paused when he walked in front of the masked man, and whispered, "Thank you Brother Tai for your help, and thank Brother Guan for me." ”

The masked man only bowed his head slightly, but did not make a sound.

"Okay, I'll promise you that I won't trouble Hidden Dust Xuan again. Yuan Sanxiang actually gave up revenge under Yuan Yiqiang's gaze, but then he changed his words, looked at Zhan Duxiao and said, "Zhan Palace Lord is full of words, doesn't he say that Feiqing will not marry? ”

Zhan Duxiao's eyes darkened, and he straightened his body, bowed to Yibei and said:

"Thank you, Master Abbot. ”

"The Cham Palace Lord doesn't have to be polite. You're not lightly injured, so it's better to heal your injuries sooner. ”

"Then the evening will take his leave. ”

In the secret passage leading from the Demon Palace to the Desert Pavilion-

Guan Zhou walked in front with the sleepy Chan'er, Tang Yin supported almost all of Shen Xiao's weight, and the two of them followed behind slowly. In a wider passage, Guan Zhou stopped and turned to look at Shen Xiao:

"It's very safe here. Your injuries are important, you can't delay too long, I'll take a look first. ”

"Senior, please give it first...... Princess...... Heal your wounds. Shen Xiao stared at Chan'er in Guan Zhou's arms through the light of the candle flame in her right hand, and said stiffly.

"Don't you want your legs?" Guan Zhou looked at Shen Xiao angrily, "This girl's injuries are much lighter than yours." If she knew you were like this......"

"Senior ......" Shen Xiao bit her lower lip, trying not to look in Chan'er's direction anymore, and said to Guan Zhou, "Don't mention us to the county lord. ”

"You also know our oath to the Princess. We who have done nothing...... I can't meet the county lord yet. Tang Yin said.

"Alas......" Guan Zhou exhaled and sighed, "Okay, I'll take a look at her injuries first." ”

"Thank you, seniors. When Shen Xiao heard this, the corners of her mouth curved, and she seemed to have forgotten the pain for a while.

Guan Zhou bandaged Chan'er's wound, and carefully connected Shen Xiao's leg bone before he spoke again:

"There is no air circulation here, and every two vents are separated from each other, so it is not convenient to stay in one place for a long time. The county lord won't wake up for a while. Are you going to let her go back to the Demon Palace, or do you want to go back to the Desert Pavilion with me to hide in peace?"

Tang Yin's gaze turned to Shen Xiao, focusing on his opinion.

"If the county lord is in Moge, of course the juniors can rest assured. Junior...... I want to go to Mokaku with my seniors. When she wakes up, we'll leave. Shen Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Alas. Guan Zhou seemed to have already guessed Shen Xiao's stubbornness, so he didn't comment on anything, only sighed, and instructed Tang Yindao, "Your third brother doesn't care about his legs, you have to help care about it." ”

"I'm holding him. Tang Yin nodded, "I'm tired of my seniors leading the way." ”

~~~

At that time, the Demon Palace, which had been noisy for a day, finally returned to tranquility. Except for the people of Yinchen Xuan, Chihua Weapons Store, Mingjun Wangfu and Tuoba Family, the rest of the people have left.

In the garden, Zhan Duxiao stood by the water, looking at the Guibi Pavilion in the middle of the water, as if he saw the four of them talking and laughing with candles on the night when he first met Chan'er.

He crouched down, closed his eyes in agony, and buried his head in the water for a long time.

Holding his breath for a long time made him feel numb that he was about to suffocate, and the scene of Chan'er falling off the cliff once again appeared in his mind......

Just before he was about to faint, he finally raised his head, gasping violently. The tightness in his chest and the pain in his heart caused him to let out a suppressed roar.

"Childe. He Zheng stopped a few feet away.

"What's the matter......" Zhan Duxiao said in a hoarse voice without looking back.

"We searched again, but we couldn't find any traces other than the two bloodstains. But this hairpin ...... Maybe it's the second miss. ”

"This is the tenth time...... You are also tired, go and rest. Zhan Duxiao took the hairpin and said softly.

"Childe...... The four of us are worried about you. He Zheng saw the tears on his face at the moment when he turned sideways slightly, and said unbearably.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. ”

When He Zheng retreated, Zhan Duxiao took the hairpin in front of him and muttered to him:

"That's what you're using to stab me...... But why didn't I hold back the pain in my hands, why did I let you go...... You know what, I'm going to hate myself for the rest of my life. ”

"Twilight ......" squatted down beside Zhan Twilight, "You didn't even know I was coming." ”

“…… Plug the rut, you hit me, I will never fight back. ”

"Why, you and I really have a tacit understanding, and I also came to you to beat me. "I told my dad that I wouldn't let her be hurt in the slightest...... Tell yourself that you will protect her...... Say to her, leave it all to me...... But I didn't do anything. ”

"As I said, I will do everything in my power to protect you...... I said I would never let go...... But what about ......"

“…… From the first time I saw her, I liked her very much and treated her like a real sister...... She was always by my side, calling 'Brother Rut'. ”

"I like her too, but I don't think of her as a sister...... But I was also very happy when she called me 'Brother Zhan'......" Zhan Duxiao was immersed in sadness, and didn't notice anything wrong with saying "treat her like a sister", but continued.

"Every time my dad scolded me, she would tell my dad how good I was...... When I get into trouble, she always helps me share it...... She knew me best, and she was the only one who could guess what I was thinking. ”

"In the past sixteen years, I have been lonely, except for my father, He Zheng, Lonely Ling, Jiao Ying, and Yu Jie, everyone else just regards me as the little palace master of this Demon Palace, awe, humility, and indifference. Especially when my father and mother threw this stall to me, it made me feel even more lonely. But the day I met her, my heart suddenly brightened. ”

"She's so stupid...... A moon and a flower can move her for a long time...... What sad, unhappy but holding in my heart. ”

“…… I will never forget the scenes of playing chess and piano with her in my life. I still owe her a wish that has not been fulfilled......"

“…… You're not really going to marry for the rest of your life, are you?"

"Why not?"

"She remembers him for a lifetime, and you remember her for a lifetime......"

"What?"

“…… It's nothing. By the way, I'll be back tomorrow. Jialu also planned to return to the Kingdom with Tuoba Shibo. ”

"Hmm. This one...... Here you go. Zhan Duxiao shook the hairpin in his hand.

"Don't you want to keep it?"

“…… Think. ”

"Then you take it. I'm leaving. As he spoke, he turned around and looked up at the moon again, June 26......

~~~

On the night of the second day, Yi Guo, Moge.

A hut looms in a stone forest in the deepest part of the Desert Pavilion. This is Guan Zhou's resting place in Moge, and no one other than Guan Shu will come here on weekdays.

Rushing down with injuries, Shen Xiaozheng was leaning against a tree beside her with a pale face, her eyes closed.

"Third brother, although I don't know what happened between you and the county lord, she has always treated you differently than she did to us...... Maybe you should let her know that you ......" Tang Yin looked at such a cautious Xiao and hesitated between his words.

"......" Shen Xiao still closed her eyes and didn't speak, but her memory drifted back to the night before she set out with Gong Wang Yuanxia five years ago.

~~~

That night, Shen Xiao's eyes never left Chan'er until she walked into the room of King Gong and the princess. Shen Xiao knew that Chan'er would stay in it for a long time, so she walked aimlessly in the palace, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had stopped in the garden where she had taught Chan'er to blow the flute.

Shen Xiao smiled helplessly, when did her little figure occupy her heart? I forgot what happened at the beginning, I only remember that one day, I often met Chan'er here. Sometimes he took her to the roof to look at the moon and the stars, and talked with her until late, sometimes he gave her a, just greedy for her expression of joy, and sometimes he told her about the cruelty and danger on the battlefield, and saw the worry in her eyes...... Yes, at that moment her worries were only for him...... Shen Xiao felt that her heart was full.

Almost at the same time, Chan'er heard from her father that Shen Xiao's brothers would also lead the army to set off with her.

Then, when Chan'er walked on the corridor back to her residence, what kept flashing in her mind was the scene of Shen Xiao beside her every fifteenth moon night. At that time, she hadn't thought about why she was different from Shen Xiao and others, but she was so worried, like she was worried that her father would be injured, and she didn't want Shen Xiao to be injured.

She couldn't help but walk to the path leading to the outer courtyard, and across the path, it was the wing house where Shen Xiao and the others lived.

In the garden, Shen Xiao had a faint bad premonition in his heart, he was suddenly afraid that he would never see Chan'er again after leaving, and his heart hurt suddenly. The next moment, he had subconsciously taken a step and walked outside the garden, but he saw Chan'er standing under the moon.

"Brother Xiao, the time you have been away for a long time...... Take good care. Chan'er said with a smile.

Shen Xiao slowly moved a few steps, squatted down in front of Chan'er, and muttered:

"Girl...... You're too young......"

"Hmm, I'll be like you in another ten years. Chan'er winked innocently at Shen Xiao.

“…… Do you like me?" asked Shen Xiao.

"......" Chan'er blinked again, obviously surprised, but did not speak.

"Hate?"

"If you don't hate it, you like it, then you should like it. ”

"......" Shen Xiao's heart jumped a few times when she heard this, but she still wanted to stop talking. He had always done whatever he wanted, and this night was arguably the most hesitant of his life.

"Brother Xiao?"

"Girl, can you forgive me......" Shen Xiao seemed to have finally made up her mind, and suddenly hugged Chan'er in her arms while speaking, and kissed her softly on the lips.

A bright moon slowly rose from the treetops, and the moonlight quietly sprinkled on the two of them, forming a wonderful silhouette when it fell to the ground.

When Chan'er came back to her senses, the distance between the two had been restored. Shen Xiao still squatted silently in front of her.

Seeing that Chan'er was just looking at herself in a daze, Shen Xiao opened her mouth again:

"I've been waiting for you for ten years, are you willing to wait for me?"

“…… Well. ”

"You are my life...... Girl, I will definitely marry you. Shen Xiao looked at Chan'er deeply and said to her. After speaking, before she could react, she turned back to the garden. He was just afraid that he would take another look, so he didn't want to leave.

~~~

Shen Xiao opened her eyes and looked at Guan Zhou's hut, her face was rare gentleness.

At this time, the door of the house was pushed open, and Guan Zhou walked out of the house, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Senior, is she awake?" Shen Xiao and Tang Yin said in unison.

"Originally, with her injury, I didn't wake up after more than a day, so I thought it was a little strange. Just now I tried to wake her up with internal force, but it still didn't work. It seems that she herself does not want to wake up. Guan Zhou said, looking at Shen Xiao, "Did something happen at the top of the cliff?"

"......" Shen Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "She killed someone by mistake." ”

"How could she have experienced such a thing with the dignity of the county lord...... I'm afraid she's killing for the first time, isn't it ......?"

"And how will she wake up?"

"Don't ask me, I'll ask you. ”

"Senior, how do you say this?" Tang Yin asked.

Of course, the more important someone or thing to her, the greater the chance of waking her up. And what is more important to her, you know better than I do. ”

"Third brother......" Tang Yin subconsciously looked at Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao pondered for a moment, took out the flute she was carrying, and said:

"Perhaps, when she hears a tune she likes, she will be able to react......"

Shen Xiao calmed down her chaotic breathing and slowly blew a song of fisherman's Q&A.

And when the high (separator) tide of Xiaoqu reverberated inside and outside the hut, Chan'er really miraculously woke up.

"Go in and have a look?" Guan Zhou sensed Chan'er's awakening breath and said to the two.

"Hmm. Shen Xiao nodded, but pulled the face towel up to cover her face.

"I'm not going in. Tang Yin saw that he had nothing to cover up, so he stayed where he was.

Guan Zhou was the first to walk back into the house, and Shen Xiao followed him step by step.

"Are you awake?" Guan Zhou stood at the door of the house, looked at Chan'er who was sitting up, and said kindly.

"This is ......"

"Moge. I live here, so I brought you here. ”

"Moge...... What is it?"

Guan Zhou didn't feel anything abnormal, but Shen Xiao's body stiffened and stopped two steps away from the door of the house.

"I really want to go to Moge to see, I heard from my mother that there is a large stone forest there, which is very spectacular. There's one thing I'm secretly telling you, you can't tell anyone else. The mother concubine said, my grandmother, Princess Kui, had twice saved the life of Mu Qinzai, who was not the master of the Desert Pavilion back then, so when he became the master of the Desert Pavilion, he swore that the heirs of the Desert Pavilion would protect the bloodline of Princess Concubines for generations and serve her as the master......" Shen Xiao recalled what Chan'er had said to herself, and it was precisely because she told herself about this that the sixth brother would go to the Desert Pavilion to seek Guan Zhou's help and stay by Guan Shu's side. Right now...... How did she ......

"Moge and Yinchen Xuan are world friends, you can rest assured that you can recuperate here. Guan Zhou continued.

"What is Yin Chenxuan?...... recuperating from injuries" Chan'er raised her hand blankly and stroked the wound on her forehead, "Why am I hurt......?" Who is it?"

"Don't you remember anything?" Guan Zhou realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.

"I can't remember, I don't know anything......" Chan'er looked at Guan Zhou blankly.

Shen Xiao was outside the house, and when she heard this, her heart suddenly cooled.

"Don't think about it so much, you can sleep well, maybe you will remember when you wake up. Guan Zhou approached Chan'er, helped her spread the quilt on her, and said.

“…… Thank you. ”

After Chan'er's breathing became even, Guan Zhou gently took Chan'er's pulse, and his expression became solemn a little bit. And Shen Xiao had come to the door of the house, holding on to the door frame, her eyes full of distress.

After a while, Guan Zhou put Chan'er's hand back into the quilt, turned around and whispered to Shen Xiao:

"Let's talk about it when we get out. ”

~~~

"How is she?" Tang Yin looked at the two people who had withdrawn and asked inexplicably.

"Chan'er...... Amnesia. Shen Xiao was in a trance, and blurted out Chan'er's name.

"Is it because of the wound on the head?"

"I've just checked the county lord's pulse, and everything is normal. This can only show that she is running away and wants to forget a certain memory. Guan Zhou said.

"In other words, whether or not you can remember the past depends on the county lord herself? Then let's think about what she likes......"

"Senior ......" Shen Xiao suddenly interrupted Tang Yin's words, "Is this kind of amnesia temporary, or is it ...... It's possible to ...... for the rest of your life."

"It's not impossible. Guan Zhou nodded.

"Well, perhaps, forget about it, and she'll be happier. Shen Xiao endured the heartache and said.

"Why?" Tang Yin asked.

"The person she killed was Yuan Jiutian......" Shen Xiao roughly told Guan Zhou and Tang Yin what happened in the Demon Palace, and said, "If the people of the Yuan family know that she is not dead, whether it is Prince Gong's Mansion or Yinchen Xuan, there will be no peace." She also blames herself. ”

"Yuan Family...... It's Yi Guo ...... again" Tang Yin clenched his right fist and said with resentment.

"Do you think this will work...... Guan Zhou looked at the two of them and said, "Leave the county lord in Moge, I will personally teach her martial arts, and when the time is almost right, I will send someone to send her back to the lonely country." In this way, even if she regains her memory, she will be able to protect herself. ”

“…… Du Chan died when she was in the Demon Palace, and now Chan'er is only the county lord of Prince Gong's Mansion. Tang Yin and Shen Xiao glanced at each other and said.

"It's great to have seniors teach the county lord's martial arts...... The seniors bothered. Shen Xiao said as she bowed deeply to Guan Zhou.

"This is also my promise to Master. Guan Zhou picked up Shen Xiao and said, "It's time for you to go back to the Star Altar." Remember, you can't move around again for three months. ”

"Yes. ”

"Tang Yin, go and inform your eldest brother of them, lest King Mingjun do something irrational under his anger. As for Yinchen Xuan, I'll let Shu'er run away. ”

"Yes, the junior said goodbye first. Third brother, take care. ”

"Well, rest assured. ”
