80. The king of the county

"It's me." She finally confessed to it herself.

The gloomy melancholy in his eyes was comparable to the barrenness of a barren mountain, but the chestnut pupils were clear and transparent, as if he had met a little rain, and the mount under him frequently flicked its tail and hissed, and he just stayed in place and quietly looked at the people not far away, only to feel that his heart was pierced by a few silver needles.

It seems to be a summer day in Xiangguofu, Teng Ge climbed into a thick shade along the betel nut eye of the vermilion wall, the subordinate of Xiangguofu sent off the guest led him through the dense shade, he only felt a cool, the sight was attracted by the sound of Langlang's book through the betel nut eye, there was a small flower garden in the courtyard, the flower garden stood a girl in a dress like a practice, the girl held a book in her hand and paced in the flower garden, she read the poems in the book, and when she closed the book, she was able to recite it completely.

He couldn't help but stop, and the girl suddenly stopped and frowned and thought, just giving him a chance to hide in the dark and examine her carefully. Trimming her eyebrows, her skin is as bright as jade, her eyes are like a blue pool, she smiled unintentionally, maybe she thought of something happy, she thought about herself, and a line of white and neat rhinoceros bloomed from her two cherry lips.

Rulian's fluttering dress added a bit of unearthly fairy aura to her, she suddenly raised her head, and inadvertently met his gaze, and his heart jumped. The smile was short-lived, and when she saw that someone was peeping, she hurriedly retracted it, and did not look closely at the peeping person, let alone take him to heart, and turned around and floated away.

The first time they met, her touching charm remained in his memory for a long time, although he read countless beauties, but the beauty that could attract him was unique.

He turned his head, his heart was still fluctuating, and he calmly asked the subordinates of Xiangguofu: "Who was studying over there just now?" ”

"Back to the prince, that's the second lady of our Xiangguo Mansion......"

……

It was the first time he knew her, but he didn't know it at the time, and when he returned, he remembered her as if he had fallen under a spell.

Seeing her familiar smile again today, saying that it was an accident and an accident, and that it was not an accident or an accident, the king of Xiping County slowly urged the horse to step forward and approach her, and she also rushed up to meet her, and asked: "Since you are here, why don't you show your real body?" ”

The king of Xiping County did not answer, and looked around: "Talk in another place." ”

"Who will come to the cliff to hunt?" She rolled over and dismounted, and walked to the edge of the cliff, "If I am found, I will jump from here, I should have died anyway, right?" ”

The king of Xiping County jumped off the horse and walked behind her, stretched out his hand and picked up a strand of her hair, put it on the end of his nose, and only after a long time did he speak, trembling, as if sad and happy, and finally choked up: "You really ...... It's really Grandma, Grandma, how are you? Looks...... How did it change so much? Then he went and broke her shoulder.

She took two steps forward to avoid it, and the whole person was almost on the cliff line, as long as she took one more step, she would fall into the abyss. She said, "This time, you're going to watch me jump?" Or will you jump with me? ”

King Xiping's eyes widened in horror, and he reached out to pull her: "What are you doing?" Come back! ”

She took another step forward, one foot hanging in the air, and said with a smile: "I guess Your Highness will not jump down with me, because Your Highness must be reluctant to give up the princess and her son." ”

"You're crazy!" King Xiping pulled her back, "Do you know what you were doing just now?" ”

"Hehehe-hehe," she laughed happily, "I was just joking with you, saying the worst plan to take in case someone finds out, look at you, what are you so nervous about?" If someone really comes, I don't want you to jump, I want you to live, you need to live, you have to think about your princess and children. ”

King Xiping stared at her smile silently, his throat choked, and he didn't dare to speak for a while, her words were for his sake, but they were like irony, the sharp knife slashed at his heart, and the guilt that had accumulated in his heart was about to make him collapse: "Hello, I can't help you......"

"What is worth it," she said, "you don't have to feel guilty about me, I am doing well in the Eldest Princess's Mansion." ”

"You, how did you ......"

"You want to ask me, how did I survive if the rumors didn't say I was dead? How did it become what it is now? She smiled and said, "I was rescued by the right minister, he helped me find a Jianghu Langzhong to change my face, so that I could show people with a new face, but it is not safe to hide in the right minister's mansion, he later tried his best to get me into the eldest princess's mansion, I learned a lot of things in the eldest princess's mansion, and I was favored by the eldest princess, and the eldest princess treated me well...... That's why I am who I am today. I hope you miss the old feelings and don't go to your majesty to expose the right minister. ”

The king of Xiping nodded in faith, remembering the day of Hong'an Temple before the autumn festival, and asked: "Are you already his person?" ”

She hesitated, and the king of Xiping County said: "That day in Hong'an Temple, I saw you, you didn't seem to hear my shout, left first, I met him later, he told me personally, you are his woman, heh, he is afraid that I will recognize you and snatch you from him." ”

She remained silent. Seeing that she was depressed, the king of Xiping County grabbed her excitedly and shook her and asked, "Sister, you answered me truthfully, did you do it voluntarily?" Or was it forced by him? Why did you avoid me before? ”

She bit her lip, raised her eyes to stare at him, and bent her eyes into crescent moons: "Your Highness, this is not important, it really is not important......"

Seeing that her eyes were dry and dull, the speculation in the heart of the king of Xiping became stronger and stronger, and he hugged her fiercely, wanting to appease the grievances she had suffered, because he felt that everything she had experienced was caused by him, thanks to him, she was his fiancΓ©e, even if the family made a big mistake, but with the holy decree of the emperor, the emperor stubbornly begged for mercy, he could still marry her, the bad thing is to be demoted to a commoner, and to be a commoner couple with her, no matter how bad it is, it is to endure the suffering of hell together, and he can be with her. But when Xiangguofu was in worse condition, he never appeared, it was he who abandoned her, leaving her alone to go through hardships and be slaughtered later......

When the king of Xiping was thinking about it like this, he forgot for a moment that when he had pursued her hard, she was ruthless to him. Now, she did not refuse his embrace, which he thought was bound by the marriage contract between them, which made her have to empathize with her fiancΓ© and be loyal to him; As a result, the king of Xiping County rightly thought that she still had feelings for her former fiancΓ©, and he thought that she was just a forced choice to be with Qu Boyao, the right minister.

She closed her eyes, and Gongsun Hao's angry eyes appeared in the darkness. If he saw her being embraced like this by other men, he would not be able to understand it, he would not know what kind of misunderstanding there would be, and he would not know what tricks to use to cold her when he got angry; At the same time, she also felt guilty about the king of Xiping, it was too despicable to use his feelings like this, but she had no choice but to make this decision, and her heart beat uneasily.

The king of Xiping County noticed it, raised her chin, lowered his head to kiss her, and was suddenly pushed away by her, and the king of Xiping County couldn't help but wonder.

She didn't look around, and said, "It's so inconvenient, if someone comes suddenly...... His Royal Highness is now jealous of His Majesty, and no one can grasp a small handle...... Therefore, it is better for Your Highness to keep your distance from me......"

"Hmm......" King Xiping County responded, and his mind tried his best to recall Qu Boyao's tone and expression and what King Zhao had said to him. There is a selfishness between that Yuluan and the right minister, I see that the fifth brother seems to be a little interested in that Yuluan, and reminds the fifth brother, the fifth brother should not be deceived by her. The king of Xiping didn't believe what King Zhao said at that time, and because he was concerned about Yuluan, he asked King Zhao: "How did the ninth brother see it?" ”

King Zhao only smiled and said, "It seems that the fifth brother really has some thoughts about Yuluan, could it be that she is like the fifth brother's dead fiancΓ©e?" ”

……

Carefully scrutinizing King Zhao's expression and words at that time, the King of Xiping County looked at Zheng Yuan again, obediently distanced himself from her, and said indignantly: "I have long known that he has no good intentions towards you, and I am afraid that he will have ill intentions towards you when he was your teacher in Xiangguo Mansion." After speaking, he looked at her squarely, and said sincerely: "Qu Boyao is not right-minded, and his ambition is not small, do you know that he has the ambition to seize the throne?" He couldn't help but reach out and cupped her face, "A courtier with a different surname, how easy it is to plot a rebellion, it is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone, I'm afraid that if he fails, you will also lose your life, do you believe me?" If you believe me, you will ......"

β€”β€”jβ€”iβ€”nβ€”β€”jβ€”iβ€”aβ€”nβ€”gβ€”β€”wβ€”eβ€”nβ€”xβ€”uβ€”eβ€”β€”cβ€”hβ€”eβ€”nβ€”gβ€”β€”

"Help! Help, no, no, no! Lord Right Minister! A young man rode his horse, and the wolf ran towards Qu Boyao, but he didn't have time to roll off the horse, and after standing firm, he said incoherently: "The right phase is big, big, my lord, I just met a tiger, and He Gongzi's life and death are uncertain now." ”

"You make it clear, what's going on?" Zhong Huan said, "Where is He Gongzi now?" ”

He rolled his eyes in horror and replied: "Just now, I was hunting with He Gongzi just now, and suddenly a tiger more than half a person tall jumped out of the grass, and He Gongzi and I were so frightened that we rode our horses and fled, and the tiger saw that He Gongzi had been chasing him relentlessly, and I was able to escape, so I hurriedly reported back and forth to the right minister, He Gongzi went to the southwest......"

At the moment when the person was speaking, Qu Boyao had already watched him thoroughly, although this person's face was terrified, and he pretended to be incoherent when he spoke, but his expression was floating on his face, and he couldn't help but come out of his heart, and his voice did not change, not at all like he had just experienced a thousand moments.

Qu Boyao asked again: "How long has it been since the tiger appeared?" ”

The man hesitated, and replied, "It's almost half an hour." ”

"In other words, the place where the tiger appeared is half an hour away from here."

The man nodded.

For half an hour, there has been no movement from the southwest, which is also strange. As it happens, the hunting ground where he is located has a strong echo.

Zhong Huan leaned over, exchanged his head with him and said, "Master, he looks like he is lying, it may be a trap, it is better to wait for a while, and wait for our people to release the letter......"

It's not a possibility, it's inevitable, it's bound to be a trap that leads him to the past. Qu Boyao glanced at the people on the ground and ordered: "You get on the horse and lead the way, and the original appearance will follow you immediately!" ”

"Master!" Zhong Huan secretly reminded him again: "They haven't sent the news yet, I'm afraid that the people haven't solved it yet." ”

Qu Boyao stared at Zhong Huan and stretched out his hand at him, but Zhong Huan had no choice but to take the β–‘β–‘ and hand it to him along with the sword......

Seeing him take the bait, the man galloped forward without stopping......

There are more and more wild grasses, and they are getting more and more lush.

"Just-just-"

A flock of red-crowned black-tailed and white-feathered wild cranes spread their huge wings, their wings spread out six feet long, densely integrated into the treetops, one by one covering the sky and the sun, holding their long necks high, screaming and swooping downward.

The galloping man in front looked up, but saw two or three giant cranes fluttering their wings and rolling towards him, it was too late to dodge, and he was swept off the horse, the crane tightened its claws, and then rushed towards Qu Boyao behind him.

Qu Boyao didn't have time to rein in the horse, leaned back and fell on the horse's back, quickly pulled the bow, pulled out three arrows, the horse galloped wildly, the arrow always deviated from the direction, Qu Boyao tried his best to calm his mind, aimed at the wild crane that was approaching before and after, three arrows shot together, tom tom - still straight into the heart of the crane, the bright red crane blood sprinkled, three birds of prey fell to the ground one after another like weightless white clouds, the horse continued to gallop forward, and the wild crane swooped down......

Zhong Huan shot the wild crane that came from another direction, and reached out to pull the person who was swept to the ground by the white crane, the man pretended to put his hand on it, but after being pulled on the horse by Zhong Huan, he immediately "changed his face", and after getting on the horse, he pulled out the short dagger on his waist and raised his hand to slash at Zhong Huan.
