Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Long Night in the Snow Mountain
Ning Ge had never participated in the hunting event after all, she was holding Feng Yufei's token in her hand, knowing that Feng Yufei would believe what she had done, her heart was steady, and she became obligated to do things.
When he was about to go out, he called the moon out, and when he saw that Ning Ge and Gu Lun were leaving, he hurriedly said: "The second prince is about to come here, where is Niangniang going?" ”
Ning Ge thought for a while and said, "You say that Gu Lun and I will go out for a walk, and let the second prince go hunting with the hunting team." ”
Calling Yue was stunned for a moment: "The second prince is following you and Princess Gulun to protect you, Niangniang, now the four masters of the Huang family regard you as a thorn in their side, and it is better for you to bring the second prince." ”
Gu Lun also looked at Ning Ge and said curiously: "My second brother is the best person on this grassland, and his martial arts are strong, so you should be safer with him." ”
Ning Ge shook his head firmly: "No." ”
Gu Lun frowned, knowing that Ning Ge didn't want to be swaggering, if Ning Ge was just playing with Gu Lun, who was also a woman, no one would ask, but if he pulled a second prince, these two women and a man would be much more conspicuous, and someone would pay attention everywhere.
Calling the moon wanted to say more, but Ning Ge glanced at the calling moon with a solemn expression: "I'll leave it to you here." You can't ask the second prince to come with you. ”
Summoning the moon nodded, "Niangniang be careful." ”
Ning Ge and Gu Lun walked away, selected two jujube red horses from the stable, and galloped towards a snow-capped mountain in the depths of the grassland.
This Xiliang border is clearly a large grassland, and the place near the grassland border should also be a vast Gobi. What is strange is that the end of this grassland is not the Gobi, but a snow-capped mountain.
The topographic map here is completely inconsistent with modern Chinese mainland, and Ning Ge has no way to tell what kind of mountain this is, only to see from a distance that there are still trees and jungles standing under the mountain, and the back of the mountain slope is facing the grassland, and this white snow is piled up on it.
Gu Lun said that the Borneo flower grows on the top of the snow-capped mountain, and it is not a difficult thing to take, but the snow is so deep that the slightest carelessness will cause an avalanche, and countless people will die.
Borneo is not a taboo thing originally, and even the national flower of Xiliang, blooming on the top of the snow, standing proudly in the snow, but it is undefeated in the four seasons like spring, like a Buddha overlooking the world.
The Borneo flowers are scorching, which is a scenery on the Xiliang Mountain. It is a sacred flower, but several uncles of Princess Gulun's father used the Borneo flower to frame each other because of the competition for the throne, and the current King Xiliang made the Borneo flower a forbidden flower after he ascended the throne, and the Borneo flower on the mountain was also forbidden to be picked.
The so-called Xiliang secret poison is also in the hands of the royal family, and if it is not an accident, it will definitely not fall into the hands of outsiders. In this way, the scope of the murder of the phoenix is constantly shrinking, and it is fixed on the people of the Xiliang royal family.
But what is the so-called accident? Ning Ge had no bottom in his heart, so he became more and more hesitant.
This is like a conspiracy, since Ning Ge stepped into this Xiliang land, it has been brewing constantly, and now Ning Ge is a caged bird, if it weren't for the courage to go to the Great Wind Hall to check the body of Huang Xuan, I don't know how he died.
The first thing that Ning Ge thought of was that the eldest prince Duodu, who didn't look very pleasing to the eye, or because Dora loved Princess Gulun and was willing to help her, Ning Ge had a more or less good impression of Dora in her heart, and instinctively rejected the idea that Dora was a murderer.
Otherwise, it is the king of Xiliang.
Ning Ge's eyebrows sank, and he shouted at the horse under his crotch, Gu Lun suddenly turned around and said to the wind: "Niangniang, if it was really any one of my father and brother who poisoned that phoenix, what would you do?" ”
Ning Ge was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyebrows and said, "The price that should be asked will always be asked." ”
Gu Lun asked, "What is the price?" Will you kill them? ”
Ning Song was silent.
Gu Lun bit his red lip, suddenly stopped the jujube red horse under his crotch, looked at Ning Ge and said, "Gu Lun wants to ask Niang Niang for something." ”
Ning Ge happened to follow Gu Lun's momentum and made an emergency brake, and ran back to the horse for a while before he was on par with Gu Lun, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Gu Lun thought for a while: "If it is really my father and brother who have been wronged by the mother, please spare their lives." ”
Ning Ge tilted his head and said, "Are you so sure it's your father and brother?" ”
Gu Lun frowned: "I don't know. But the prescription of the Borneo flower poison cannot be circulated outside, and it must be a good person in this royal family. She raised her eyes a little sadly: "Although I don't know who it is." But I don't want my father and brother to lose their lives for this, and you also said that the phoenix deserves it, right? ”
Ning Ge raised his eyebrows, and said for a long time before he said: "Princess, if I don't have a seven-day period, I will die under the Huang family's money, will you think that I have been wronged and intercede for me?" ”
Gu Lun was stunned, bit his red lip and almost cried, but he didn't say anything after all.
Ning Ge looked up at the blue sky, took a deep breath and said, "I don't have to rely on, do I deserve to be cut by a thousand knives?" ”
"Niangniang knows that Gu Lun wanted to accompany Niangniang at the beginning just because Niangniang would rather give in. I just wanted to help you, but I didn't want to help my father and brother. Princess Gulun shrugged her shoulders helplessly, smiled bitterly as she spoke, and paused before saying, "Although I can't understand the battle in the court...... If my father and brother are really in the way, Gu Lun just wants to implore my mother to help you not break the truth of this matter for the sake of Gu Lun today, regardless of the kindness of his father and brother? Gu Lun said anxiously.
Ning Ge interrupted the second half of Princess Gulun's words: "Okay." I promise you. ”
Gu Lun raised his head in surprise, and his mouth opened wide to stuff an egg: "Really? ”
Ning Ge nodded: "Just take it as if I return your favor, as long as I clear my grievances, other things have their own certainty, I promise you not to take the initiative to hurt your father and brother." But ......"
But if someone else has to invade, Ningge has never been a fuel-efficient lamp.
Princess Gulun was willing to take her out to find the flower of the Borneo, knowing that this was a matter of rebellion against the court, but she still accompanied her to the end. This is what Ning Ge owes to this woman who values love and righteousness.
This is a debt that should have been repaid.
Gu Lun was relieved and nodded, "I understand." ”
The two went hand in hand, each with their own thoughts, although the road was long, after all, they reached the foot of the snow-capped mountain before dark. The sun shines only in the evening, and the golden glow is draped over the snow on the slope, and the whole mountain becomes a kind of vicissitudes of life. It's just that Ning Ge has no intention of appreciating such a beautiful scenery, and can't wait to turn over and dismount, regardless of the fatigue of the bumpy road to climb the mountain with his bare hands.
Gu Lun's face turned pale, and his body shook slightly when he got off the horse, but seeing that Ning Ge was anxious, he quickly restrained his tired expression and followed behind Ning Ge.
Unexpectedly, when Ning Ge turned around, he saw Gu Lun's somewhat shaky figure, and quickly stopped and said with concern: "Is the princess okay?" ”
Gu Lun shook his head: "Let's go, I'm fine." ”
Ning Ge frowned: "If you feel tired, the princess is waiting for me here, and I will go up and down quickly." ”
Gu Lun shook his head firmly: "There is snow further up, and two people can still take care of each other when they walk." Niangniang don't worry about me, I grew up on this grassland, and I don't know how many times I've been to this mountain. ”
"Princess...... Why are you helping me? Ning Ge suddenly looked at Gu Lun with a reluctant smile in confusion.
Even if he turned his back on his father and brother?
I don't want to sing and refuse to believe in people, there is nothing in this world that can be obtained for nothing. For example, Feng Yuyao, who is now in the palace, if it weren't for that shocking song, how could she provoke a little concubine for no reason?
Gu Lun likes Feng Yufei, and he has a hatred for Ning Ge, but when Ning Ge was killed, the first person to come out to accompany her was Princess Gu Lun.
Is it a miscalculation on the part of the people, or is Ning Ge a miscalculation after all?
Gu Lun was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then raised a smile and looked at Ning Ge: "If you say that you are atoning for my father and brother." Do you believe it? ”
Ning Ge shook his head and said honestly: "I don't believe it." After thinking about it, he added: "You can't know from the beginning that Huang's death may have been caused by your father and brother, if so, you don't have to help me come to this snowy mountain at all." You will not harm your father or brother. ”
Gu Lun squinted his eyes and looked at Ning Ge: "Don't you think that even if I know now, I am still harming my father and brother?" ”
The ball was kicked back, and Ning Ge didn't know how to take it for a while.
Gu Lun said to himself: "If you don't believe that I am atoning for my father and brother, then I say that I am entrusted by someone to trust you to be trusted?" ”
Ning Ge was stunned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Feng Yufei? ”
Gu Lun smiled sideways: "You dare to call the emperor by his name, it is really a rare strange woman in the world." You and him...... Say the same. ”
Ning Ge pursed her lips and paused, no longer reluctantly, just stretched out her hand: "I'll lead you away." ”
Gu Lun's face was pale and a little transparent, vaguely revealing a little sadness.
Ning Ge only felt that his words were poking Gu Lun's sore spot. She didn't know when Feng Yufei found Princess Gulun and asked Princess Gulun to help her. It's just that Princess Gulun loves Feng Yufei deeply, and believes that as long as Feng Yufei is short, she will definitely do things that don't even have to give her some benefits.
Women are fools.
Ning Ge suddenly remembered the sentimentality on Princess Gulun's face when she came to her residence to talk about Feng Yufei that day, and that must have been the time when Feng Yufei asked Princess Gulun to help her.
No wonder Feng Yufei didn't show up with peace of mind, no wonder Gu Lun always approached her inexplicably.
Ning Ge felt a lot more guilty in his heart, and pulled Gu Lun through a low forest in silence. There was snow further up, the road became extremely difficult, the sky was dark, and it was about to get dark, Ning Ge secretly thought that he couldn't go up today, and then he turned his mind and pulled Gu Lun to the side: "Go, go around to the back of the mountain." ”
Gu Lun was stunned: "What are you doing there?" ”
Ning Ge was amused: "Do you want to sleep in the snow?" ”
Gu Lun's expression was a little unnatural, and he said, "Of course...... Of course not......"
