Chapter 109: He's Coming to Beiliang
The newly renovated mansion was soon inlaid with a glittering plaque to create the Regent's Palace.
On the second day after the regent moved into the mansion, he saw the regent and the princess personally greet a mysterious figure at the door of the mansion, and everyone speculated that they didn't know where the big man came from, but it was the holy driver.
However, after waiting for a long time, I saw a young carriage parked at the door of the mansion, and before the maid could go up and lift the curtain, she saw a woman's head sticking out.
But I saw that she was not very beautiful, but she had a weakness, which made people can't help but feel pity and pity in their hearts, and the eyebrows were slightly frowned, like a sick Shih Tzu.
At this time, the little servants had not had time to bring the wooden stool, but Ruan Lu reached out and picked her up from the carriage.
In an instant, her cheeks flushed with shame, and I felt more and more pity.
When her toes touched the ground, she blushed and said, "My lord." ”
Fu Yunhuang's face was a little complicated, but he still moved the lotus step and walked over slowly, even with a smile on his extremely beautiful face, he still looked so distant, "This is to pity my sister, I heard the prince mention, from Luoyang, what kind of suffering did you suffer along the way?" ”
Dressed in a plain Confucian skirt, she couldn't help but shrink her shoulders compared to Fu Yunhuang, who was so noble and extraordinary, that she said in a trembling voice, "The concubine has seen the princess regent." ”
Ruan Lu saw that she was thin. The autumn wind was cold again, so he reached out and untied his cloak and draped it on her body, "Let's go." ”
It is a pity to be placed in the Jinse Pavilion of the mansion, there are undefeated strange flowers in the Jinse Pavilion, and there are countless cranes and mandarin ducks, but it is a fairyland-like place.
The cold moonlight shone on the two people, reflecting their shadows on the mirror-like masonry on the ground, making them look more and more lonely and desolate.
Fu Yunhuang said lightly, "The prince found this girl somewhere." What a wonderful person. ”
His dark eyes were surprisingly bright, "When I was in Luoyang, I was slashed by Liang Yan's people, I was stabbed several times, and those doctors said that I couldn't survive, but she took care of me for half a year and saved me." ”
"She's a medicine woman? No wonder there is a smell of herbs on the body. Fu Yunhuang couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect such a delicate person as her to have such ability." ”
"Her medical skills are really good." Ruan Lu pulled the corners of his lips as if laughing at himself, "If it weren't for her, I'm afraid that there would be no king here to talk to you at this time." ”
Fu Yunhuang nodded, "Seeing that the prince treats her with such sincerity, it seems that she has been moved by true feelings." ”
Ruan Lu didn't say anything, just pursed the corners of his lips, and his face became more and more cold.
"Isn't the prince afraid that I will embarrass you, the side concubine?" Fu Yunhuang squinted at him, "You have to take good care of her, so as not to be poisoned by me." ”
Ruan Lu said slowly, "You won't hurt her!" ”
"Why is the prince so determined?" Fu Yunhuang was a little puzzled.
Ruan Lu tugged at the corners of his cold lips, "Because Shi Ran doesn't love her, the reason why you calculated that woman several times is just because of your jealousy." ”
Fu Yunhuang saw that he didn't even want to mention the name of the person he had put on the tip of his heart. only said that woman, and said, "The prince really understands the concubine the most." ”
"You're not the same, you kept saying you wanted to kill him, but you didn't intercede for him yesterday." There was a cruel and bloodthirsty smile on his face for an instant, "This king is much more powerful than you, and this king only has endless hatred for that woman now." ”
Soon Ruan Lu returned to Jinse Pavilion, but saw that Xi Xi was feeding the cranes in the courtyard, and when he heard the voice, he quickly turned his head, "Lord Wang." ”
Ruan Lu looked at the smile on her face, like the brightest star in the sky, which made his barren heart faintly complicated.
He walked over and hugged her in his arms, the smell of the medicine in his nose, "Just stay here, don't go anywhere." ”
Pity the cheeks were crimson, and only buried her face deep in his arms, "The concubine is already your side concubine, naturally she will not go anywhere, only stay by your side and accompany you for a lifetime." ”
There was a hint of confusion in Ruan Lu's eyes, "Okay." ”
It took a long pity to come out of his arms, "Lord, the concubine has prepared a medicinal bath for you." ”
Ruan Lu's cold hand held her tightly, and he only walked towards the house.
I regretted that I took his robe back, but I saw that his skin was mottled with knife marks, all of which were new wounds, although they had healed, they were still shocking to look at.
"Does it still hurt?" Her delicate fingers slowly traced the ugly scar, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.
She knew what kind of life he had when he was chased and killed by Liang Yan's people, and he rolled on the tip of the knife almost every day, and she still remembered that when she rescued him, he was covered in blood, but he still held on to that breath and refused to swallow it.
Ruan Lu sneered, "I don't know what pain feels like anymore. ”
Unfortunately, she added some more water to let him in, but she saw that the water vapor blocked his eyes, and she couldn't guess what he was thinking.
And at this time, I heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then Hong Wu's voice came, "The regent is not good, the person who escorted Ruan Lu to Lingnan said that he met a collapse on the road, and he actually ...... He was crushed to death inside, and his bones were gone. ”
The water scoop in his hand slammed to the ground and shattered into a few hungry petals.
Ruan Lu leaned against the barrel, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, "Very good." ”
Send 5,000 guards over, but if you find any traces of the Beiliang people, you will be killed immediately, leaving no one alive.
_——————————
A desolate desert. and endless snow-capped mountains and grasslands.
A smaller figure sat on horseback, the setting sun setting a pale yellow on her body, while she carried the freshly hunted prey in her hands.
Until she ran into the royal court, she saw her holding her horse tightly, and immediately a guard came up and led the horse for her.
"The county lord will leave for a day today, and the princess has been looking for you for a long time!" The guard smiled and said, "Ah Zeng went to look for you on the snowfield." Have you met it? ”
Lian Zhi'er lifted his legs and jumped lightly from the horse, turning around as he walked, "Xu is the road is forked, he can't find me, so naturally he knows that he wants to come back." ”
When she had finished speaking, she had entered the king's tent, but she saw wolf skins on the ground, and the tent was furnished with melons and fruits.
"Aunt Lan, I'm back." Lian Zhi'er looked at the princess who was sitting on the blanket sewing wolf skin, "I lay on the snow for a day, but this fox still came out of the nest and was caught by me all of a sudden. ”
The princess glanced at the fox that was still hot in her hand, but when she saw that her whole body was snow-white, without a trace of miscellaneous hair, she snorted coldly, "For such a thing, you left your son all day, are you like this mother?" ”
Only then did Lian Zhi'er see Ah Kong, who was originally sleeping on the couch, wake up quietly, look at Lian Zhi'er with a pair of agate eyes, and said in a childish voice, "Ah Niang, bad." ”
Lian Zhi'er walked over, picked up the child, and walked to the fox, "You conscienceless thing, A-Niang is to find you a fox skin, seeing that it is going to be winter, A-Niang can make you a small mattress, you spread it under you." It's going to be very warm. ”
Akong shook his head, "I'm afraid." ”
The princess couldn't help laughing, "This child is not the same character as you, he must be like his father, if he is like a wild horse foal like you, then it will be completely finished." ”
The princess had seen Ruan Lu, and she had already recognized who this child was with just a glance.
But her words seemed to uncover her scars, and her heart ached faintly, "No, he is not like him at all." ”
"That's it, you kid is really right, it's time to find you a husband. Our Beiliang woman is not the Central Plains, remarriage is a common thing, I heard your uncle say that the Heyue tribe has a very outstanding child, let him come to the king's tent another day......"
Lian Zhi'er's face turned pale, "I will guard Akong, I will not marry anyone, you have the ability to force me to death with a sword, I only have one sentence." ”
When the princess saw her so resolute, she also knew in her heart that this matter was hopeless, she was weak and terminally ill, but she heard her cry, "Do you want to be lonely for the rest of your life, how can you let me not see your parents, it is really shameless." ”
Ah Kong saw his grandmother crying, and he couldn't help but shed tears with a pout, and his mouth still said, "Auntie, bad." ”
Lian Zhi'er only felt that he was a heinous person. I had to sigh helplessly, "Okay, let him come to the king's tent for me to take a look, I don't know what kind of virtue it is, and I actually let you praise you like this." ”
Only then did the princess laugh, "I will not be disappointed when I see it, I heard that the strength is incomparable, and one punch can kill a cow, a famous warrior." ”
Lian Zhi'er looked at Ah Kong viciously, "Ah Niang will marry someone like that, and she will be your stepfather in the future, and she will break all the bones you shoot with one punch." ”
Ah Kong didn't know if he understood, but his mouth was crooked and he started crying again.
The princess couldn't help but reproach, "You kid, what are you doing to scare him." ”
And at this moment, I saw that the curtain of the king's tent was lifted, and a pair of mother and daughter dressed in gold and silver, full of radiance, came in, and the two people were very similar. All with a touch of arrogance.
This is Yan Chengwang's remarried wife, Mrs. Mei, and their daughter Lian Yan.
Lian Yan seemed to hear their words, and only sneered, "The sky is going to be windy, and my mother is going to get married, which no one can stop." It's just that no one knows who your father is, I'm afraid it's those miscellaneous pieces in the Central Plains. ”
Lian Zhi'er was furious, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”
Mrs. Mei smiled and said, "How can you say that, she is your sister after all, and although this child's origin is unknown, she still has the blood of our Beiliang after all, and she can't come to make amends to your sister." ”
The princess sat back on her wolfskin chair, hugged Ah Kong, and said slowly, "These two children have been arguing since they were children, and if they don't quarrel for a day, everyone will still think it's strange." ”
Lian Zhi'er didn't bother to pay attention to them, and just wanted to come out of the king's tent with Akong in her arms.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mei said with a solemn face, "The princess knows, today the Central Plains believed that the person named Ruan Lu killed the regent and ascended to the position of the regent, and he also sent someone to send a document, only saying that he would send us something according to the fixed number." ”
Lian Zhi'er changed her face first, "Uncle, what did you say?" ”
Now the big and small affairs of Beiliang are all managed by King Yan Cheng, and even Zhi'er's younger brother is the real king of Beiliang, but he doesn't have the slightest power, and he doesn't have to discuss matters big and small.
Seeing her so excited, Mrs. Mei couldn't help but show a suspicious look, "What else can I do." As long as they are obedient and obedient, besides, the cold winter is coming soon, and we can't send troops, so we can only let them make trouble in the Central Plains. ”
Lian Zhi'er's face changed suddenly, and she only hurriedly ran outside the tent, but she didn't expect to bump into Ah Zeng who came back head-on.
There were faint tears in her eyes, "You already knew about the Central Plains, didn't you?" How's the dyeing going? Ruan Lu didn't embarrass him, right? ”
Ah Zeng couldn't bear to lie to her, but he still told her everything, "He was exiled, but he died on the road." ”
Lian Zhi'er took a step back. tried his best to stand firm, but he still fell to the ground hard, "No, he is a dyeer, how could he die like this?" ”
King Yan Cheng originally wanted Ah Zeng to come over and watch her, for fear that she would know about it, but seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, he could only tell him.
"It's Ruan Lu who doesn't want to keep him alive at all." Ah Zeng put his hand on her trembling shoulder, "If you are sad, just cry." Don't remember him in the future, your fate has long been broken. ”
Lian Zhi'er got up, with perseverance in her voice, "I'm going to find him, even if it's his body, I must bring it to Beiliang." ”
"The spies have already replied, Ruan Lu has already sent a guard over, as long as he sees the people of Beiliang, he will be killed immediately." Ah Zeng said hurriedly, "He is clearly trying to lead you over, you can't kill yourself." ”
Lian Zhi'er's tears kept rolling down, "I'm not afraid of death, how can I live without him?!" ”
Ah Zeng finally couldn't help it, looking at the jade pendant on her waist like a remnant, "When you left the capital that day, you asked your subordinates to see him, and he told me that he would definitely come to Beiliang to find you, as long as you wait, he would definitely come over." ”
Lian Zhi'er's barren eyes gradually had a hint of luster, "Yes, he came back, came back to me, and he never broke his word." ”
When Lian Yan left, she came over to see Lian Zhi'er, but she saw Lian Zhi'er sitting on her bed in a daze, as if she had lost her soul, and couldn't help but mock, "Yo, what's wrong with our county lord?" ”
Lian Zhi'er ignored her.
But she didn't give up, and only took out a bag, but saw that it was full of all kinds of jewelry from the Central Plains.
"This is the princess's reward." Her voice was sour, and she seemed to be a little dissatisfied, "These things should have been ours a long time ago, Beiliang can have today, but it is all because of my father's credit, why is your weak brother occupying the position of the king of Beiliang, and he should have returned it to us a long time ago." ”
Lian Yan has been jealous of Lian Zhi'er since she was a child, just because she was born to be a high-ranking county lord. Lian Zhi'er's brother Lian Shuo loves his sister in every way. is not like her brothers who don't grow up, they don't learn all day long, and they can't be used.
Lian Zhi'er raised her dark eyes, looked at her directly, and then gently pulled the corners of her lips, "You have the ability to say these words to those people outside, and ensure that your head moves." ”
Lian Yan has been arguing with Lian Zhi'er since she was a child, but most of them have fallen by herself, so she only gritted her teeth with hatred.
"I'm too lazy to take care of you, my subordinates have captured a lot of slaves from the Central Plains for me, and I will take them to hunt wolves in the snowy mountains in a while, and let them be bait."
With that, she turned around and left in a hurry.
King Yan Cheng's tent was only a few miles away from the king's tent, but it was almost half an hour away.
Lian Yan's face was still full of anger, and she said to her mother, "Mother, when your father sits on the throne in the future, you will be a serious princess of Beiliang, why do you make them so proud." ”
Her mother sighed too, "Who told your father to still remember the old love, if it was me?" It's been reversed a long time ago. ”
After her mother left, Lian Yan asked the maid to send the treasures into the house, and her faithful subordinate Zhehe hurriedly ran over, his face full of flattery, "Little master, these Central Plains people I found for you today are all strong, and I guarantee that you can catch the snow wolf later." ”
Lian Yan snorted coldly, "If it's not good, you will uncover your skin." ”
After saying that, she walked into a tent very familiarly, but saw five strong men tied inside, she nodded with satisfaction, but saw that their heads were still covered with black cloths, so she snorted coldly, "Quickly put on the iron mask for them, and they will be the servants of the county lord in the future." ”
But all the slaves and maids of the Beiliang people have to use a red-hot iron mask and cover their faces, but the pain is unbearable for ordinary people, but all those who are weak will die with a whimper.
Seeing her smiling, Zhehe hurriedly ripped off the cloth of these people.
Lian Yan just glanced at them lightly, as if she wanted to appreciate their frightened and frightened appearance and begging for mercy from herself.
However, her eyes fell on the face of one of them, and she couldn't take it away for a while, but she saw that the person was like a beautiful jade, and there was no ripple in the pale eyes, like a person outside the sky, and there was no such dusty character in the world!
She couldn't help but slowly stand up from her chair and walked in front of the man, "You are also a sold slave?" ”
The man looked at her slowly, and his voice was like a jade, "Yes." ”
Zhehe hurried up and said, "This person looks like a poor person, but he was sold, presumably from an unknown source, if you don't like it, then kill it immediately, what if you have a bad heart?" ”
Most of the Central Plains she had seen before were slaves, and she didn't expect that there was such a good look in life, and she was a little stunned for a while.
