21. Nangong Jingyan: Assassination
In another study room with bright candles in the Phoenix City, a group of Chunyue important ministers surrounded Nangong Ming, who was in an uproar.
After the discussion, everyone respectfully bowed and retired.
The noise receded, and there was no sound around, but he maintained that coldness, sat down in front of the desk, leaned a little, and picked up the book to read.
Holding the book, his eyes wandering over the words, but he was rarely distracted.
The image in his mind was the girl he had met outside the tent during the day. It was the first time he had seen her so close, so close that he hesitated that he didn't allow himself to have it.
Her cheeks are fresh and fresh, her nose is greasy with goose fat, and she is gentle and silent. For a moment, he thought he was standing in the wrong time, and the girl in front of him was no different from the one he had had been many years ago.
He couldn't help but miss it deeply, but he gradually became depressed and annoyed, but he always sat upright and did not move.
He stared at the flames on the red candle burning on the desk, and in an instant, the flames magnified into a raging fire in his eyes, he felt that he was covered by this flame, the pain in his skin was bearable, and the pain in his heart was unbearable, but soon he let his heart calm down again, cold as an iceberg that no one else approached, a cold iceberg that burned out emotions and hatred between the past and the future......
He crouched in the hall, and he could only see the golden phoenix red carpet stretching to the top of the golden steps.
An indifferent and contemptuous voice came from the hall: "Raise your head." ”
He raised his head and lowered his eyes, but he didn't dare to look directly at the princess Li Xuan, who was wearing a red gold phoenix robe.
"You should know, which clan my sect is?"
"You are the Supreme of the Nine Lands - the Li Clan. He glanced at him, and she looked down at him with her eyelids down. He knew that if he looked closely, those eyes were bright red like Jin Yao's.
"You ought to know, who is my Father?"
"Heavenly Monarchy, Supreme Emperor Wuzong of the Nine Lands. ”
"Since I was a child, I have been told by my relatives that according to the rules of my clan and the laws of my dynasty, I will marry the Yushu clan in the south on behalf of the Li Huang clan and pass on the clan, do you know why?"
"This is the last order of Emperor Gaozu and the previous kings. That's all he had to say.
He faintly heard a chuckle, "This is to ensure that the bloodlines of the descendants of our two races are unified, prolonged, and insoluble impurities." ”
"Lord Jinyao and I ......"
"What flows through Jin Yao is the blood of the Yu Shu clan and the Li clan!" The people in the palace raised their voices, so stern that they did not allow him to argue at all, "She is the body of a daughter, the treasure of Chunyue, she will inevitably combine with the supreme person who also has the orthodox bloodline, she will be the queen of the Nine Lands!"
"But......" he knew that his personal love seemed so small and humble before "the rules of the clan and the laws of the dynasty," but he always came with that glimmer of hope.
"Nangong Xiao'er, I told you only for the sake of Jinyao and your father, don't have a trace of ridiculous thoughts, otherwise, let alone you, even the ancestral foundation of your Nangong family will be lost......!"
Jin Yao hugged him behind him, and he could still feel the soft and warm embrace that brought a burst of fragrance until many years later. It was the bosom of his life, but now he had only one way to keep her.
He rode a horse and carried Yu Shu Jinyao and galloped wildly, they crossed the Chaoge flower field, and countless fallen Ying flew behind them, and they galloped south, galloping towards the vast and difficult to find Yuexiu dense forest.
After galloping, he stopped by the stream and helped Jinyao dismount.
Jin Yaoyan's face was full of exhaustion, and his heart was full of pity when he saw it.
"Jinyao......" As soon as he spoke, she raised her hand to cover his mouth. She looked at him quietly, her red eyes bright and bright, and then said, "Listen." ”
Beside them, the stream was babbling, the birds chirping, the wind blowing, and the trees rustling. "How comfortable. She said.
"Yes, we will live freely and freely in this way, without fetters. ”
"That's good. Jin Yao's eyes were moist and shiny," she chanted two sentences softly, and her soulful and graceful singing voice immediately dissolved his sorrow.
But there was immediately sadness and horror in his eyes. He turned his head to see that there were many gold-armored soldiers in the forest. His father, Nangong Chengyu, wore a green shirt and crossed the horse to the front.
Nangong Ming stood up and drew his long sword.
"Shaft, what a ridiculous thing you have done!" Nangong Chengyu's tone was full of disappointment and resentment towards him.
"Father, for your son's sake, let us go!" he pleaded.
"You are really obsessed, the county lord is a daughter, what are you? let you go, who will let us go Nangong!"
"Zhongshu Ling, Ming Lang and I are consensual, I beg you to let us go, the emperor's marriage contract will be fulfilled by my sister, and my father and mother will not blame others too much!" Jin Yao also pleaded.
"County Lord, this is a big matter, and it is not something you can understand in your age. My king and princess have shown great mercy to me for their past exploits in my Nangong clan, and if you are good for this erection, please persuade him to restrain himself from the precipice, otherwise he will die and have no place to be buried!"
"In this way, I will fight here today!" Nangong Ming protected Jin Yao, raised his long sword, and looked at him decisively.
Many sergeants approached the horses, and with a "whoosh" one feather arrow flew out of the crowd and pierced into Nangong Ming's leg.
Nangong Ming screamed miserably and fell to his knees, "Minglang!" Jin Yao behind him screamed and helped him.
Nangong Ming touched the ground with his sword and stood up, his father pulling a bow and arrow behind the sight, "Whoosh!" Another arrow hit his other leg.
"Ahh......h
He was trapped in a cold, clammy cell, covered in bruises. But the pain in his body is not as good as in his heart. He didn't know what time it was, he didn't know what happened to Jinyao, and he didn't know where his future was.
Someone came to the prison door, it was Yu Shufei in a red dress and makeup.
Nangong Ming propped up in front of her and looked at her eagerly through the cage.
"She's married, just today. Yu Shufei looked at him coldly.
He was so desperate that he almost suffocated.
Yu Shufei handed in a piece of letterhead, he opened it with trembling hands, and what a familiar handwriting was on the paper.
Nangong Ming looked at the word for a long time, shook his head incessantly, tears dripped onto the paper, impregnated and dissolved the word, sadness overwhelmed him like a flood, making him choke and unable to make a sound, suffocating his cheeks were red, and the green tendons on his neck burst out. "Ah——h
Yu Shufei looked at him, opened the prison door, and he rushed out of the door desperately, without seeing the corners of Yu Shufei's mouth pulled up by resentment.
Nangong Ming fought with his sword and galloped wildly. Jin Yao is his, his beloved and his future, they took her away together, and at this moment he wants to chase her back, even if he has to fight against the whole world, even if he has to die without a place to be buried.
The battle of welcoming relatives continued, and Nangong Ming caught up. "Jin Yao, Jin Yao!" he shouted, but only to be intercepted by the Praetorian Guards at the end of the team.
He roared angrily, drew his sword and galloped, that is, if he could not get it, what should he do if he died in battle. He swung his sword like madness, blood splattered all over his face, and he was in a commotion in front of him, and he was stabbed again and again, but he seemed to be unconscious, and he only fought in the blade like a forest and a shadow.
Blood blurred his vision, the screams in his ears seemed to be shallow and distant, he could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat, on the outside of the sergeant, he finally saw Jin Yao in full costume, she staggered towards him with her skirt, she cried something, but he couldn't hear it, he saw her like this, his heart burned more and more.
"Jin Yao!" Nangong Ming shouted, and behind her, a general with the Xuanjin Dragon Head Bright Light Armor suddenly galloped out and attacked him like a lightning speed. He raised his sword to meet his enemy, and the great figure rushed towards him, and suddenly he was struck with a fierce blow, and then he was hollowed out for a moment, his eyes widened, and he fell from his horse.
"Don't ——" Before it was dark in front of him, it was the last time he saw Jin Yao, her weak figure fell to her knees, screaming at him with great sadness.
