Chapter 5: Longtan Tiger's Den
Out of the mountain temple, Xue Qingshan, the old thief, was already sitting on the sedan chair, and was carried by four strong men to walk in the front.
But I could only endure the severe pain and limp with the team.
"Alas, Miss, why are you doing this?"
"Yes, being able to marry the crown prince of the dynasty is something that others dream of, when you become the crown princess, and the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, you can also be promoted to the queen, the mother of the world, isn't this good?"
Several members of the Xue Mansion followed and said to me in a serious voice.
I gritted my teeth, "I don't remember it very well now, can you tell me about my experience and what happened to marry the prince?" ”
Now that she has inexplicably become the eldest lady of Xue Mansion, I have to understand some things about this character first, otherwise the next days will definitely be difficult, after all, I have just learned the viciousness of Xue Qingshan's old thief, and now I am a little afraid to think about it.
These family members may also see that I am pitiful, and they may also want me to have a better time after returning to Xue Mansion, and start talking to me.
Xue Mansion, also known as: Liangliao Wangfu, is the residence of the King of Pingliao, the King of Pingliao died on the battlefield thirteen years ago, during which the princess - Li Shi, pregnant.
Because of the countless military exploits made by the two generations of princes of the Liao Palace, the emperor personally gave the marriage to the belly, saying that if the Li family was born in the arms, he would marry the princess, and if he was a daughter, he would marry the prince of the dynasty.
In the process of giving birth to a child, Li Shi lost too much blood and completely turned his eyes, but fortunately, the child was successfully born and was a girl.
"That girl is Xue Zhimo? …… That is, me? ”
A family member nodded and continued: "Actually, since you were born, the lord has been very good to you, but they also have their purpose in treating you well. ”
Xue Zhimo has been fatherless and motherless since she was a child, and under the care of her three aunts and eight aunts, she has grown from a little doll to a young girl, and she is about to be eighteen years old, and her marriage with the prince is getting closer and closer.
The major leaders of the Xue Mansion were very happy, and felt that the day of the turnaround of the Liangliao Mansion was coming soon.
Because of the death of the King of Pingliao, the status of the two Liao palaces has declined sharply, which is a bad sign, if there is no action, let this development continue, the two Liao palaces are likely to be completely lonely, and eventually destroyed.
"So I'm the last hope?" I can't help but sneer, what I hate most is this kind of political marriage, forcibly tying two emotionless people together.
Fortunately, there is no such thing as this kind of thing in the fairy world.
"The crown prince is the prince, and he will ascend the throne in the future, as long as he can have a little relationship with him, the status of our Xue Mansion can be preserved."
Heh~, in the end, it's still using people.
"Then did I resist this marriage with the prince before I lost my memory? Can you tell me why? ”
"Miss, have you even forgotten this?"
"Uh...... yes, I'm amnesia, I can't remember a lot of things. Seeing their suspicious expressions, I hurriedly explained.
They didn't think much of it and continued.
It turned out that this Xue Zhimo fell in love with the young master of the Northern Sweeping Mansion a year ago, and escaped from the capital in order to avoid the pursuit of the Luo Xue family.
But the good times didn't last long, these two people were finally found, just the night before yesterday, the young master of the Sweeping North Mansion was directly escorted back, and Xue Zhimo swore to die and refused to go back, escaped from the encirclement, rushed to a cliff, and jumped.
I looked up and saw that it was a low-lying place, and there was indeed a cliff not far ahead, which looked like it was two or three hundred meters long, to say the least. This height is nothing to us immortals, but in the mortal world, it is difficult to fall from this height without dying.
"And how did you find me?" I asked casually.
"We found a path from near the cliff that led to the bottom, groped all the way down, searched all the way within a radius of ten miles, and finally found the trace of the eldest lady in the temple of the mountain."
"Jumping from such a high place, the eldest lady is really blessed."
"Yes, the eldest lady will not die in a big disaster, and there will be a blessing in the future." These family sets are close to the Tao.
But I was in no mood to pay attention, and looked at the terrain around me, and then at the cliff.
So Xue Zhimo really jumped from there?
No, if you jump down and die, there should be a corpse, how can you find my head?
A conjecture suddenly flashed through my mind, that Xue Zhimo did indeed jump off the cliff, but she did not die, on the contrary, she survived and left here when the search party arrived.
She was lucky, but I was unlucky.
As soon as I came out of the shuttle tunnel, I inexplicably appeared in that mountain temple, and I met these people from the Xue family, and insisted that I was that Xue Zhimo.
Alas~~I'm really miserable~
I couldn't help but cry out in my heart, and suddenly I had the idea of wanting to go back to the fairy world, but after thinking about it, I just retreated when I encountered a little difficulty, and I would definitely ask Tianyi to laugh at that kid when I went back.
"Zi Mo, you can do it, what is this twist and turn, you are the daughter of Tianzun, you can't let people see jokes, you can!" I encouraged myself in my heart.
Soon, we walked out of this mountainous area and into a bustling city, the streets were very wide, but they were crowded by pedestrians, and as far as the eye could see, the pedestrians of the streets were mostly all famous children in silk costumes, and there were few plainly dressed civilians.
The streets are lined with shops and pavilions of all kinds, and all kinds of shouts and shouts are endless.
"Sugar gourd... Selling sugar gourds..."
"Freshly baked buns, fragrant and refreshing buns......"
"The auction of the Jade Decay Pavilion is starting now, the thousand-year-old treasure, the one with the highest price will get it, please everyone!"
This kind of scene is something I have never seen in the fairy world, it is very lively, all kinds of shops are full of all kinds of items, people stop in front of the items they want, and negotiate with the shopkeepers......
There's a lot of stuff I've never seen before, weird, beautiful.
The scene in front of him is completely different from the bitter cold land in other people's mouths, on the contrary, it is also mixed with human emotions while being prosperous, which is not found in the fairy world.
All the way forward, with about a quarter of an hour, we came to a mansion, in front of the door hung a four-sided gold-inlaid plaque, on which the four characters "Liangliao Wangfu" were written.
Xue Qingshan got down from the sedan chair, looked at me casually, and said, "Come with me." ”
Judging by his attitude and the tone of his voice. He didn't seem to like Xue Zhimo very much.
It seems that the eldest lady of Xue Mansion is not having a good time on weekdays.
These two Liao palaces are not ordinarily large, hundreds of corridors and thousands of turns, have been going around and around, and it took a long time to reach the destination with a stick of incense.
This is a hall, and there are seven white-haired old men sitting in it, and judging from the clothes on their bodies, they know that the identities of these people are very unusual.
"Why don't you meet a few uncles!" Xue Qingshan glanced at me.
It's exciting to call this princess, isn't it? I've scolded this dog thief ten thousand times in my heart, but I can't show it, and I don't want to end up in the streets.
"Meet a few uncles." He bowed to several old men.
"Stinky girl, you still know to come back!" An old man pointed at me and scolded: "Born in my Xue Mansion, but not thinking about the future fate of the Xue Mansion, are you still worthy of the surname Xue?!" ”
"Shut up, don't you think things are messy enough?" Another old man raised his hand and interrupted him, then turned to look at me, sighed lightly, and said, "You still don't want to marry the crown prince?" What's wrong with that kid surnamed Luo? The crown prince is the prince, and the whole world will be his in the future, and the entire Saobei Palace, as well as our two Liao Palaces and other princely generals, will serve him, isn't it good for you to marry him? ”
He was kind-eyed, and much kinder than the other six old men.
His eyes were not full of ferocity like Xue Qingshan, on the contrary, his eyes were fierce and peaceful. It can be seen that he is a decisive person who loves and hates.
I glanced at Xue Qingshan next to me out of the corner of my eye, and his gaze also happened to fall on me, and a chill suddenly came to my heart, goosebumps rose, and I couldn't help but shiver.
I knew that if my answer was the slightest bit wrong, I might be going to hit the street.
Alas~ It's okay, show weakness and compromise for the time being, and look for countermeasures later. I silently comforted myself.
"Uncle is right, tie up the relationship with the prince of the current dynasty, our Xue Mansion will have an extra way back in the future, as a child of Xue Mansion, the first thing is to think about the future fate of Xue Mansion, and you can't drag Xue Mansion down for your own selfish desires and children's affection."
The seven old men in the hall were stunned by what I said, and one of the old men looked at me with a suspicious look in his eyes: "You...... Want to open it? Is Ken married to the crown prince? ”
"Marry, of course marry, I was too stupid before, I was confused by the kid surnamed Luo, so the second uncle of Qingshan made me lose my way, and I ask your uncles to forgive me for the stupid things I did before." As I spoke, I bowed again.
The kind-eyed old man hurriedly got up, helped me up, patted me on the shoulder with great satisfaction, and said, "Good boy, you can change your mistakes, you can be good, it's good to think about it, it's good to think about it, it's good to think about it......"
"Someone, send the young lady back to the room." He beckoned his men to take me away.
It wasn't until I left the main hall and walked out for a long distance that I breathed a sigh of relief, I felt that this Xue Mansion was a Longtan Tiger's Den, and if I was not careful at this time, I might have to worry about my life.
"Alas~ Why am I so unlucky!" As soon as I went down to the mortal world, I encountered this kind of unfortunate thing.
Zhimo, Zimo, the pronunciation is similar, is this a coincidence or? And Xue Zhimo's appearance should be similar to mine, otherwise why would these people recognize me as her?
After a while, I was taken to a room by two maids, opened the door and walked in, but I was stunned.
This...... This is Miss Xue's room? Isn't that shabby?
A wooden bed, a set of tables and chairs made of bamboo, a tea set on it, and ...... There doesn't seem to be much more to say.
There was only this piece of furniture in the room, which looked a little empty and shabby.
The two maids had long since left, and in their place were two strong men with swords in their hands and fierce faces guarding the door.
The meaning is obvious, it is nothing more than that he doesn't want me to leave the door half a step, for fear that I will run away.
