Chapter 219: A Sad Past
Xia Kucao turned around and saw Shi Hanshui leaning on the railing on the second floor, his face was cold, and his eyes were ethereal looking at them, more like he saw a farther place through her, but they were too far away to discern the meaning.
Xia Kucao bowed respectfully and said to Shi Hanshui: "Master, after keeping you waiting, you can go back!"
Shi Hanshui slowly walked down the stairs, stood in front of Xia Kucao and said, "You can be so firm in your beliefs, it is indeed commendable, follow me back to the mountain to cultivate, I believe you can!"
Xia Kucao was stunned in her heart, and was pleasantly surprised, is Master praising her?
Her eyes were instantly full of color, Shi Hanshui took the lead in the front, there was a carriage at the gate of the palace, Xia Kucao hurriedly ran over and pulled up the curtain to take a look, tears flowed down instantly, and her heart was moved, it was Bichen and Jian Yang, but the two of them were in a coma.
She was busy getting into the carriage, and before entering, she took one last look at the high palace gate, she owed Ji Zigong a favor, and she would definitely repay this favor.
Shi Hanshui stood behind his back with his hands behind his back, remembering the person he saw last night, in exchange, he promised to give Ji Zigong a promise, this promise will be used one day, promise to do one thing for him, but it won't be easy, it's like burying a timed **!
Shi Hanshui got into the carriage, Xia Kucao was a little surprised, the master still used to take the carriage? That Ji Zixuan was in front of the carriage, and there was no one, Xia Kucao suddenly felt that this picture had a warm feeling.
She touched Bi Chen's pulse, nothing unusual, but she still said uneasily, "Master, what's wrong with them?"
Shi Hanshui closed his eyes: "It's okay!"
Xu Yu said, "How are you going to settle them?"
Xia Kucao showed a rare smile and breathed a big sigh of relief: "I look at this flawless town, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there are outstanding people and spirits, and there is a master to take care of it, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, no one knows their origins, and they can let Bichen recuperate with peace of mind, it is indeed a good place, what does the master think?"
Shi Hanshui didn't move, put his hands on his lap and only hummed, Xia Kucao looked at the master's face, and his heart was pounding, the master is here, and everything is solved.
She had thought that she actually had a title deed in her hand, and a house that had been given to her by a life-saving benefactor, she wanted to say it tentatively, but she didn't dare, she had already decided in her heart that she was abandoned by the Wu clan that day, and the person who saved her was the master, but she was afraid of being disappointed, afraid of repaying the wrong kindness, afraid of accompanying the wrong person, and now she just wants to follow the master, even if the person she is looking for is not the master, she will not abandon the master again.
This house has a unique meaning for her, and it may be difficult to live in it again in her lifetime, but it is her roots, her origin.
And Bichen and Jian Yang needed to be taken care of to prevent Naxia Zizhu from making a comeback, so she didn't consider letting them move in.
Ji Zixuan drove the carriage in front of him to a small river to fetch some water, stood in front of the car and thought again and again: "Master, this mountain road is difficult to walk, almost bumpy, do you want to go back to the mountain first, the disciple must bring the junior sister back as soon as possible, it will take almost two days and two nights from here to Wufang Town, and then settle these two friends, I am afraid that it will be delayed for another two days, and the disciple is afraid of delaying your business!"
When Xia Kucao heard this, he also nodded, and saw that the master had never opened his eyes, and he didn't know if he heard it, so he added in a low voice: "Yes, Master, you will only go back to the Flawless Mountain for a while, so you don't have to accompany us all the way, I am afraid that the road is far away, which will make you uncomfortable, and if there is something in the mountain, won't it be delayed?"
Only then did Shi Hanshui open his eyes, and stretched out his right hand to signal that he didn't need to say anything more, but said: "There are uncles in the mountains to take care of, the mountain has not been peaceful recently, and you are injured again, I will go with you." ”
Xia Kucao frowned slightly, a little worried: "Is there an abnormality under the mountain? Is it related to the encirclement and suppression of the big devil this time?"
Shi Hanshui closed his eyes again: "It's okay, don't bother!"
He didn't answer directly, that is, it was possible, if her dream was true, then what she saw in the water that day was real, and the big devil was locked in the lake by someone with ulterior motives, and the master should have taken it that day to save the disciples.
Then this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people behind him, since he can lock and trap this 10,000-year-old demonic beast, it must not be simple, this tone is afraid that it will be difficult to come out, and it is possible to cause some trouble.
Could this have something to do with the demon king in Master's mouth?
Xia Kucao thought a little, Ji Zixuan handed over the water, Xia Kucao took it and drank it, she saw that the master closed his eyes and cultivated, so she slowly moved out and sat side by side with Zixuan in front.
She had some questions that she wanted Zixuan to answer, Zixuan seemed to have guessed, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that I'm too bored, or I can't find the way?"
Xia Withered Grass looked at the green forest path, and suddenly felt very good, she skimmed a small branch of willow on the willow tree, and held it in her mouth, as if she was hanging a child:
"Yes, I'm afraid you're too boring, let's chat with you, alas, second brother, do you have a marriage match in the world?"
Huh? Zixuan's eyes flashed with stars: "Do you care about whether I am married or not, are you sure that you have a chance, unmarried, unmarried!"
Ji Zixuan was quite excited, and denied it twice in a row, Xia Kucao smacked his lips: "You think too much, I just think that you are a prince, and you are not young, how can you not marry a wife, like you are so noble, when you reach a certain age, someone will definitely arrange to marry a wife!"
Ji Zixuan grinned and thought on a whim: "Are you jealous?"
"No," Xia Kucao glared at him, "It's just gossip, I've been exposed to it since I was a child, and now it's inevitable to be curious when I meet a real person." ”
Ji Zixuan smiled: "What you said is right, but I am more special, like my imperial brother, he just had a coming-of-age ceremony, and his mother chose two concubines for him, one side concubine." ”
Xia Kucao nodded, too, this Ji Zigong kept saying that he would accept her as the queen, and he knew that his harem was not as simple as this queen, and it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that he was the king of a country, and he had to think about the royal family and the great cause of the thousand years, and passing on the lineage was the first priority.
If possible, she just wants to be a couple for the rest of her life, if not, she doesn't want to, just be by her master's side quietly and forever.
Xia Kucao thought about this and nodded: "What about your mother, did you go to see her when you returned to the palace this time?"
Ji Zixuan's eyes suddenly astringent, I don't know if the wind blew into the sand, or the wind grinded his eyes, his face twisted to the side, Xia Kucao thought he had something unspeakable, and hurriedly said: "I just asked casually, if you don't want to say it, forget it." ”
"I've seen her, but she's not doing well, and there's nothing I can do!" Ji Zixuan Cangmu's eyes looked at Xia Kurancao, and Xia Kuraga read sadness in it.
She was puzzled and frowned: "Why are you still staying in the palace, why don't you take her out of the palace?"
Ji Zixuan looked at Xia Kucao and smiled: "Maybe you're right, her lifelong obsession is all within that high wall, I'm afraid she won't want to leave, do you want to hear my story?"
Ji Zixuan's eyes were red, is this topic too sad? Xia Kucao was anxious: "Hey, what are you crying about?"
Ji Zixuan hurriedly covered his face, as if he was ashamed and embarrassed, and said stubbornly: "Who cried, the sand was blinded!"
Xia Kucao sat back in place and didn't ask any more questions, there must be a story in this, and fools can see that Ji Zixuan is very sad.
Did she talk about the wrong topic?
Ji Zixuan sorted out his emotions and drove the horse onto a stable road, and while the horse was running, he recalled that he seemed to take care of himself for a long time:
"It's my fault, it's me who held her, my mother is also a young lady of the family, my father is a four-grade official, and the person looks beautiful like a flower, according to rumors in the palace, my father and the emperor for my mother's concubine, once ordered someone to use glass gold to build a viewing platform in Yangcheng Lake, this viewing platform is magnificent, just because my mother likes to watch the sunset and watch the sunrise, watching the sunrise and sunset from this viewing platform is a rare spectacle.
Every year, my father would accompany my mother to live in Yangcheng Lake for a few days, putting aside the government and just to enjoy the scenery.
It's a pity that the good times don't last long, my father is suspicious, and pursues immortality, luxury and lust, not a long-term lover, after my mother gave birth to me, she has been framed many times, but my father is still difficult to let go of my mother.
When I was nine years old, my father didn't know who to believe, and invited back an alchemist from outside the palace, it is said that this alchemist is a fairy descending to earth, and the pill can protect people Tong Yan Hefa, my father insisted on eating it despite the advice, and the one-year statute of limitations did make my father feel a change, and his body was getting stronger and stronger.
When I was ten years old, my father and emperor were greatly damaged by eating poisonous pills, and the dragon's body was greatly damaged, and he finally saved his life, and found out that the villain was the alchemist, and it happened that at this time it was rumored in the palace that my mother had an adulterous affair with someone, and the adulterer was the alchemist who paid tribute to this pill.
My father acquiesced in this matter, and decided that my mother had an adulterous affair with that person, so he ruthlessly wanted to kill her husband, even if the relationship of more than ten years could not withstand this gossip, not to mention the evidence that the queen put forward at that time was the last straw that oppressed people's brains, my father finally collapsed, and my mother never thought that she would die tragically at the hands of her husband.
I hugged the bloody concubine and cried heartbreakingly, I saw the knife inserted into my mother's body, I was like crazy, I couldn't forgive myself, all I could think of was the words of the concubine before she died.
She cried and said, child, the mother concubine has not done anything that has disgraced your father and son, child, you have to live and grow up well, mother concubine, I can't protect you!"
Speaking of this, Ji Zixuan was already choked up, Xia Kucao's tears flowed down, this picture was unbearable, she still couldn't bear it when she thought about it now, not to mention the boy Zixuan who was just ten years old, how cruel and heartbreaking it was, but he still had to live, and live with a smile, because he had no ability to resist.
Xia Kucao patted Ji Zixuan's shoulder with blurry teary eyes, and when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know how to comfort her, and only said: "You are so strong, your mother should be happy!"
Ji Zixuan couldn't hide his emotions anymore, he shook his head: "In those difficult years, only me and her depended on each other, I once let her escape, she didn't, she may still have a trace of fantasy about her father, but that person was too cold-blooded and ruthless, and if he didn't find out the truth, he wanted her life, just to block the mouth of the people and save his face." ”
