Chapter 41: Surrender
Luo Yan took out the guqin called "Tilting Heart" from the storage ring, and the emerald green and crystal strings exuded a calm aroma of grass and trees. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info She has used this piano to play the clumsiest tune, and she has also used it to play a melodious sound that is rare in the world, and at this time, she picks up her fingers, but the song is indelible sadness and loneliness.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and it was very abrupt. After a while, there was a sound of footsteps on the steps of the bamboo house, and Xing Wen walked into the small bamboo house and sat down directly on a bamboo chair on the side.
"Why don't you see Master?"
Luo Yan lightly picked up the tune with his ten fingers, it was the song "Remembering the City". She said, "Master went to the forest to collect firewood, but he wouldn't let me follow. β
Xing Wen nodded, and Luo Yan asked again, "What about people?" Did you find it? β
The sound of the piano is soft, and the sound is in the ears. Xing Wen replied: "She went to Hetian Garden, and at this time she has already followed the palace people to the place where everyone has settled." β
Luo Yan let out a light "um" and didn't say anything.
The two of them were relatively silent in the small bamboo hut in the rafters. After a long time, Xing asked before he asked, "Do you really want to tell her your identity?" β
Luo Yan raised his hand and pressed the strings, and the sound of the piano disappeared suddenly. She looked up at him, "You've talked a lot today." β
Xing Wen frowned slightly, noncommittal. Luo Yan continued: "Actually, what is my identity, although I grew up beside my master since I was a child, I have never sacrificed to the First Emperor of Heaven and Earth, and I have never made an oath to be loyal to the Sangwu royal family, if I want to leave, no one has a reason to stop me." Wouldn't you have understood it seven years ago? This time, if it weren't for Master, I wouldn't be coming back. β
Is it just because of Master? And what about him? Xing Wen didn't ask these words.
"In terms of talent and cultivation, you are not below me." Luo Yan paused for a moment and said, "Master, after a hundred years, the position of the Lord of the Purple Bamboo Forest will not be mine, but it must be yours." β
Xing Wen seemed to want to speak, but Luo Yan didn't give him a chance to speak. "Master has dedicated his whole life to the Son of Heaven and to the Sangwu royal family, and Master, who is like our reborn parents, this position - you have no reason to refuse." Luo Yan looked at him and said, "If I don't fight with you." β
Xing Wen looked at her in shock, and Luo Yan said, "If I want to be the lord of this purple bamboo forest, that is, I really give this life to this Sangwu royal family, and only protect the lord with a loyal heart." Seven years ago, I would never have wanted to live like this, but now, it doesn't matter. β
Xing Wen stood up violently, and the slender legs of the bamboo chair rubbed against the floor, making a squeaky sound. "Is it because of his own negative heart that you no longer trust anyone else in this world?"
"I believe in you." Luo Yan stood up, walked up to him, and said, "I believe in you. It's just that, Ah asked, no matter who is the master of this purple bamboo forest, we all have no part in this life. β
She stroked his cheek, looked deeply into his eyes, and said, "It's strange, I didn't see your goodness at the beginning, it's strange, it's just weird, we are all in this purple bamboo forest, and we can't help ourselves." β
He Xinyue followed behind the leading palace maid, stepping on the fine gravel scattered on the bluestone pavement all the way, and walked towards the accommodation of the people in Jiayou. The leading palace maid didn't talk much, maybe she was cautious in doing things in the palace, and she didn't ask her much, just silently led the way in front.
"This palace is really big." Walking in the vertical and horizontal Qianmo Avenue, at a glance, I saw the sulfur glazed colored tiles of the pavilions shining dazzlingly in the sun, He Xinyue couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time hoped that she was not singing a one-man show alone. Along the way, the silence between the two men was a bit dull.
The palace maid asked her, "Girl, are you from Jiayou?" β
He Xinyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was finally willing to talk to her, instead of being silent as before. "yes." She replied.
"This Sangwu Palace is actually a city within a city in Fuzi City, in terms of size alone, it is not smaller than Jiayou City at all."
"Murphy, you're also a Gayo?" If she can compare Jiayou City with the palace, she must have an understanding of Jiayou City, so He Xin asked this question.
The palace maid replied, "I am not from Gayou, but I am from Gujiazhou. Before entering the palace, I also went to Gayou Castle. β
"I see." He Xinyue nodded and asked, "Dudao Jiayou City is the second largest city in Sangwu after the imperial capital, so in your opinion, what is the difference between Jiayou City and this Fuzi?" β
The palace maid smiled and said, "Jiayou and Fuzi are good in their own way. As for the first city of Sangwu...... It's not that you don't dare to fight, but you don't have to fight, and you can't fight. β
He Xinyue was secretly amazed by her words, and did not dwell on it anymore. The two of them saw a lot of incense carts and sedan chairs along the way, but they never stopped to salute, until a carriage depicting Luan and painting phoenixes passed by, and the palace maid pulled her arm, signaled her to retreat to the side of the road, bent down and bowed her head, and waited for the carriage to pass by.
The sound of the car was getting closer to He Xinyue's ears, and then it was getting farther and farther away. When the carriage passed by the two of them, she straightened up, looked in the direction where the carriage was gone, and asked the palace maid, "...... was that just now?"
"That's the carriage of the Iris Palace," the palace maid said as she led her along, "that is, from the Fourth Princess's Palace." β
The princess of the empire, with an extraordinary identity, should naturally be avoided. Just when He Xinyue was thinking so, in the smoothly driving carriage, Li Mo turned around and smiled at the woman beside him and said, "Big brother, you know, he has always been loose and erratic, and his father can't do anything about him." But although the eldest brother doesn't come to help Zi, princess, you can go to Jiayou, I think, the people of Jiayou City must have been looking forward to it for a long time......"
After Jingchen Yan and the woman who accidentally broke into the wild garden left, Ye Lao soon welcomed his third visitor of the day.
"In all these years, my wild garden has never been so lively as it is today. Have a seat. He said to the comer.
The man sat down at the stone table, and it was the same stone bench that the woman had sat on not long ago. He pondered for a long time, and Fang slowly spoke: "I originally thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. β
Ye Lao let out an old and hearty laugh, and said to the visitor: "How can an old bone become a rumored person? β
"Although the current Jingchen royal family is not a climate, but when Minghong Tianzi Jingchen is alive, it is very uncomfortable for us to Gongxia Mountain." The man seemed to complain a little, and said slowly, "Since the division of humans and demons for more than a thousand years, the demon clan has retreated to the four poles, and humans have occupied the vast land of Middle-earth, and we, the demon clans who remain on the land of Middle-earth, can only pray for a place to live and reproduce for a while. The demon clan of Gongxia Mountain, as far as I know, has never deliberately caused any trouble in the realm outside Gongxia Mountain before. Rao is like this, Jing Chenluan is still not at ease, and he will wait for me - get rid of it quickly. β
The man looked at Ye Lao, and there was a fierceness in his eyes that could not be ignored, but Ye Lao still looked leisurely and leisurely, as if the person in front of him was not here to question him, but an old friend he had not seen for many years, who was drinking with him and shouting at him.
"The mirror dust inkstone is a reflection of the saying that human ambition has never been satisfied for a thousand years. It's just ......" he frowned slightly, and asked the white-haired old man in front of him, "What I don't understand is that the ten demon clans have always been arrogant, and the bloodline of the Holy Spirit Demon Spirit clan is so noble, why were they willing to 'condescend to the noble' in the first place, be the lackey of the Jingchen royal family, and kill me all in the line of Gongxia Mountain?" β
Ye Lao's face did not change, he only sighed slightly, and asked this person: "What are the rumors?" β
"It is rumored that Mirror Dust Mountain once had ambitions to annex the other five kingdoms and unify the land of Middle-earth and even the entire Star Stone Continent, and the reason why the Holy Spirit Demon Spirit Clan was willing to help him was because he had promised you - to divide the world, demons, clans, overlords, and lords-"
Ye Lao laughed out loud, and the man continued, "Although this sounds ridiculous, what is ridiculous is not necessarily not true. Thousands of years ago, when the Six First Emperors of the Human Race swore a blood oath to the Holy City of Chensi, saying that they would let the demon beast clan withdraw from the land of Middle-earth, all the demon clans thought it was a joke. But the truth is that they finally turned this great absurdity into the reality it is today. Human ambitions are often beyond our imagination, and this is especially true of Mirror Dust. Moreover, although the six empires seem to be calm on the surface, in fact, there are still fewer intrigues in the secret? β
After laughing, Nolao stood up and paced slowly around the yard, as if he was going to do it every day.
"Hou Shengwa, do you think that the Six First Emperors of the human race did not do it at the beginning, how can Jing Chenluan do it?"
The man was silent. Ye Lao continued: "This Star Stone Continent is so big and vast that just within the land of Middle-earth, the human race must be divided into six kingdoms and ruled. At the beginning, the Six First Emperors of the Human Race did not unify Middle-earth, and a thousand years later, it is even more impossible for anyone to do so. β
"Then the Holy Spirit Demon Clanβwhy do you want to submit to the Mirror Dust Royal Family?" The man asked.
Ye Lao shook his head slowly, and said, "The Holy Spirit Demon Spirit Clan has never surrendered to anyone, and even if we were defeated a thousand years ago, we have always maintained the arrogance of our clan. It is not the Holy Spirit Demon Clan who submits, but our royal daughter; is not to surrender to the royal family of Jingchen, but to surrender to the person of Jingchenluan. β
