Volume 2 Chapter 70
An Ning asked behind the maple mark, "How many hours?" Maple Scar whispered, "It's been almost five hours." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The effect of the drug is about to expire.
Maple Scar immediately made a decision, waved his hand, and several people in black immediately took action.
In the woods, there was a commotion, and several officers and men stopped and straightened up to look—it was faint, the shadows in the forest were messy, and there seemed to be a ghost fire approaching, and there was a low cry.
It seems that these officers and soldiers have been going back and forth to Fengming Mountain in the dark for many years, and they were also frightened by this posture.
The young man couldn't bear it: "Let's bury it later." "When the day comes, I'll be a little bolder. The older ones were silent. Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and several people's official hats were blown off, and the lanterns and torches were suddenly extinguished.
The black light was blind, and several people swallowed their saliva, feeling a wave of yin qi spreading from their feet, and the older one finally spoke: "Let's dig it later." ”
A few people packed up their things and hurriedly pushed the carriage down the mountain.
When the people were gone, several men in black fell around the coffin, lifted the coffin, and walked into the woods.
As soon as the coffin was put down, there was a sudden bang on the lid of the coffin, which startled An Ning, and immediately grabbed Fengji's hand.
Maple Scar took her hand and whispered, "They're awake." ”
The lid of the coffin had been nailed shut, and the men in black stood silently, without the instructions of the master, and no one moved to lift the lid of the coffin.
An Ning took a few steps closer, and there was another thud in the coffin—then a growing slapping sound, and a faint cry for help.
An Ning suddenly thought that if she didn't care about them like this, they would also suffocate to death.
The cry for help became louder and louder, and everyone's eyes fell on An Ning.
It's not that An Ning hasn't seen killing, and it's not that he hasn't ordered killing.
But death is inconsequential - palace people, minions, ant-like people, they deserve to die.
At this moment, she deeply felt that the people in this coffin could only count on her, they wanted to survive, and they were eager to live.
The only blood of a famous family is in her hands - fear, excitement, fear, restlessness......
In a moment's thought, she decided whether to live or die.
She let out a low sigh and said, "Open it." Several men in black stepped forward, opened the four corners, lifted the lid of the coffin, and the firelight illuminated the scene in the coffin.
Lying horizontally or vertically were the bodies of many children, dressed in white shrouds, two of whom looked at them with tears on their faces, their eyes wide open, and they gasped for breath in great horror.
The man in black stepped forward, one in each hand, and pulled the two children out of the corpses.
It turned out to be a man and a woman.
The boy was no more than five or six years old, and the girl was seven or eight years old, and the two of them held each other's hands tightly, their faces frightened and trembling.
An Ning didn't expect Mrs. Li to choose a girl.
She asked, "What's your name?" ”
The two children sat on their knees, frightened and helpless like hunted young animals. The boy bit his lip and said nothing, the girl hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Grandma said, we don't have a name in the future." ”
The son of a rebellious courtier can never resort to his name.
An Ning looked at them in silence and asked, "Do you hate?" The little boy leaned helplessly on his sister's arms, and the girl shook her head: "Don't hate, grandma said, the Li family deserves it." ”
An Ning seemed to understand a little bit why Mrs. Li chose this girl. Whether this is true or not, she wants to cheer for Mrs. Li and this little girl.
As a woman, Mrs. Li is resolute and decisive, able to bend and stretch, and the granddaughter she chose is smart, clever, forbearant and calm, young, articulate, has an excellent memory, and can still maintain her composure under extreme fear.
-- When you grow up, you will definitely make a difference.
"Did your grandmother tell you what to do in the future?" An Ning asked again.
The girl raised her head and looked at Princess An Ning in front of her—she was about the same age as her, but she could control their lives, decide their life and death, and even decide their future lives.
- "Follow you." ”
The girl said word by word: "In the future, we will follow you." ”
An Ning's cold face in the morning light suddenly smiled softly.
What a Li family.
What a Lee.
An Ning pointed his finger on her forehead: "You have to remember what you said today, no matter what happens in the future, no matter what you know, you have to follow me." ”
For my dogs and horses, for my sword, for my drive.
An Ning stood among the cliffs, looking at the distant Jindu, and the first rays of the early sun came through the clouds and began to illuminate the dim earth.
A new day begins, someone is about to be reborn, someone is about to die.
Feng Zhen stood behind her, and said quietly: "The fall of the Li family, if it can stir up turbidity and promote the Qing Dynasty, and bring the Qing and Tai order of the Great Liang Imperial Court, perhaps, it is also worth it." ”
And in the Great Liang Dynasty, how many ministers are lurking under the undercurrent, she still has too much to do to change the fate of the Great Liang.
The morning light was slightly dewed, and the courtyard of Qiao's family was still silent, and the people had quietly gotten up and began to prepare the food and clothing of the masters.
Feng Zhen brought An Ning in from the windowsill, Mama Fang jumped up in shock, she sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes were red, as if she hadn't slept all night.
An Ning took off her black clothes and waved her hand weakly: "I have to sleep, you all go down and rest." Mama Fang hurriedly came up and served her to undress.
Maple Scar watched An Ning lie on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep, before going out of the room and into the inaccessible backyard.
The people in black looked at him one by one, and one of them stepped forward and whispered, "Those children have settled down." He paused: "Do we have to report to Your Majesty about tonight's incident?" ”
The secret guards of the royal family where Maple Mark is located have their own responsibilities, each performing their own duties, and also has responsibilities such as assassination, protection, intelligence, and supervision. Because of the scarcity of gold in the Daliang royal family, Fengji and Zhuyi led a secret guard respectively to protect the prince and princess and obey their orders.
Only the emperors of the past dynasties could justifiably take over the power of the secret guards, and all the commanders had the duty to report all the information to the emperor - Princess An Ning colluded with the courtiers, entered the prison of the criminal department, and even saved the children of the rebels with fake death medicine, which was beyond their duty.
Maple Scar clenched the sword in his hand, and a phoenix was carved on the hilt, symbolizing that he would forever become Princess Anning's secret guard, protecting her well, and casting her glory.
He watched her grow up, able to speak, and walk, and remembered the first time she summoned him, snatched his sword, and stood with it, ordering him to help her become stronger.
At that moment, he could see clearly, Princess An Ning was obviously smiling, but her eyes were barren and sad.
That's not the innocent and kind Princess Anning that he has been protecting.
He didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, and that conversation seemed to have given him all the answers.
The royal family is secretly guarded, loyal to the royal family, and ends until death.
