Chapter 74 (Death at the Knee II)
"What should I do?" Angel stopped, tears already flowing down her cheeks, "If you leave, a guard slave will bully me, Shenyu will frequently trouble me, and the prince will be rude with me again, who will protect me?"
"So to speak. Lan Yuting wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, showed a smile and walked forward, "You have to get pregnant quickly, if the little life comes, my brother will definitely not embarrass you again." ”
"Where are you going?"
Lan Yuting let out a sigh, "Brog is far from here, but I will come back to see you often." ”
"Bulrog?" Angel searched her eyes, "I have heard a lot about the story of the royal court and Bulrog, the young lady of Bullog married your grandfather, but the young lady died of illness in the royal court, therefore, the two countries started a war thirty years ago, and there was no contact between the two sides after that, and the friendship was interrupted for more than thirty years, have you ever thought that it was a dangerous place?"
"That's right. Lan Yuting replied, "Although Brog now has the officials of the Northern Chiya people there for a long time, the merchants on the Silk Road between the royal court and Brogg are often blocked and robbed, and the caravans of West Asian countries cannot pass, and the Silk Road, which has been prevalent for one or two hundred years, has been interrupted here for decades. They also continued to murder the officials of the Northern Chiya people, and my father was unwilling to compromise the generals, so he wanted me to complete the mission of peace no matter what. If you don't go, it will probably be another catastrophe, which is probably the sorrow of being born in the emperor's house. ”
"If the contradiction had already appeared, would harmony have avoided the catastrophe?"
Lan Yuting smiled hard, "I also cried, made trouble, and even committed suicide when I knew it at the time. She took out the scar on the cuff of her right arm and showed her, a long scar appeared on her arm, and the blood was still on it, "So, I don't cry anymore, I know that tears are not a woman's weapon, a woman's most powerful weapon should be your body, no matter what, I will make good use of everything I have, since I can't change the world, then change my mind first." ”
"God willing, you must live there safely. Angel snorted.
"Alright. Lan Yuting persuaded, she looked at the headdress on the stall, pulled her over, picked up a pink hairpin and gestured on Angel's forehead, "This is a bit cheesy, not worthy of your identity as a big man." She picked up a purple gesture again, "Well, that's good, I've got it for you." She pinned the hairpin to her head.
"I'm going to give you one too. Angel looked at the stall, "But instead of a card, it's a necklace." She also picked up an amber necklace, "I use the card as proof, you use the necklace as proof, we don't want to be friends, we must be good sisters for life." ”
Her words were like warmth into Lan Yuting's heart, "Okay, we want to be good sisters for a lifetime." ”
Angel pinned the hairpin to Lan Yuting's hair, and both of them took out coins from their sleeves and paid them to the vendor, "Let's go, let's go over there." She took her arm and smiled away, and they kept going, turning two streets from the crowd, looking at the fresh things in the stalls, and buying two strings of sugar gourds, as well as freshly baked naan and roast meat from the stalls, and smelling the fragrance from afar. There were also hungry and skinny men and children, who had been around for almost half the morning, and she had led Lan Yuting to the door of Yi Zhichen's house, even though there were no stalls there, she pointed to nearby buildings, or trees or roads, and said, "This house is the most interesting partition house I have ever seen, and her wood is all from the poplar of the grassland." ”
Lan Yuting raised her eyebrows, she really couldn't see anything interesting or special, "I heard that the owner of this house is a fisherman, his wife died three years ago, and now he is married to a little wife who is twelve years younger than him." ”
"That's right. Angel shrugged, "You see, this kind of stone-paved road is rarely seen in my Rob City, and the surface is smooth enough to be touched by your hands. The roads in our city are all paved with mud and sand, and the roads will be anti-alkali in the second year, so the people who repair the city will repeat the paving of the roads every year, and the treasury will lose a lot because of this, and you see. She pointed to the tall poplar tree in front of Yi Zhichen's house, "This tree has become a thousand-year-old tree, and if no one cuts it down, it must be the longest-lived tree." ”
Even Lan Yuting couldn't understand why Angel's words instantly increased, "These are all things that everyone knows, I know them." ”
"Oh!" Angel nodded, and floated towards the courtyard of Yi Zhichen's house with her afterglow, but she was surprised to find that the yard was in a mess, in a mess, no chickens and ducks chirping, no cattle and sheep, and even the gazebo in the yard had fallen, "What happened?" she asked in her heart, "How can this be?" She tried not to let the things in front of her be exposed in her expression, and when she passed by a woman holding a child, she grabbed her and asked, "May I ask what happened to this family?" ”
"The family has moved out. The woman said, "Overnight, I don't know where they went, the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks were all taken away by thieves, and the valuable things in the house were gone." ”
"Thank you. Angel let go of her arm, and the woman departed.
"Do you know this family?" Lan Yuting asked, searching her expression.
"I don't know. Angel came back to her senses and shook her head, "The yard is a mess, I thought something had happened to their family." Her eyes seemed to be filled with pain, but she tried her best to hide it, armed herself again, and deliberately made her expression smile, "Nalan, you must know. She thought to herself, "If you dare to lie to me, I will decide to go to Lake Nask and kill you myself, no matter whose son you are, I only want to protect my son." She swore a poisonous oath to herself.
