Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Land of Cold
Wu Tianxiao woke up, and it was dark all around.
"Where am I?" He sat up and looked around.
It was a modest cottage with few furnishings and unpretentious, and at first glance it was not a wealthy family.
"Are you awake?" A white-bearded old man poked his head out of the door and examined Wu Tianxiao with his eyes.
"Where am I? Who are you? ”
"I'm just a local fisherman...... And you, you are really fate," said the old man, "and when I saw you drifting in the waves, I took you back to my house." ”
"You saved me?"
"I'm a local fisherman. You're in luck. When I found you, you were lying on a floating plank. ”
“…… Thanks a lot. ”
The old man stroked his beard and sighed: "Alas! It's been three years, and my son's fate is uncertain! If only he were as lucky as you......"
Wu Tianxiao looked at the old fisherman, although his hair was gray, his body was still very strong.
"When he went out to sea to fish three years ago, he encountered a storm and was swallowed by the merciless sea...... "I never believed that he was dead, although the whole village advised me to give up, but I just ...... Alas! ”
"Where am I?"
"Where? Naturally, it is Tianmiao Village on the outskirts of Cangyan City. ”
"Smoke City?" Wu Tianxiao was surprised, "I'm back in the Xiaohan Country?" ”
"You said 'return,' have you been here before?" The old man looked at him with his eyes.
"Yes...... I've been to this place before. Wu Tianxiao closed his eyes and massaged his forehead with his right hand, he still felt a dull pain in his head.
"You finally got your life back, have a good rest, and only when you're healthy can you act."
"Got it. Thank you. ”
The old man left.
Wu Tianxiao sat on the bed, in a daze.
He was lucky indeed.
Am I the only one who survived? Wu Tianxiao couldn't help but think.
He got out of bed, got dressed, and went outside.
He could see the sea below the mountain at a glance.
"Why did you get out of bed? Don't take a break for a while? The old man looked at him and asked.
"No, I want to come out and breathe."
"As you can see, our village is deserted, and there are only a handful of people living here, just a few families."
The wooden house was built on the mountain, which is where Wu Tianxiao now stands. Down the hill is the sea.
"It took me a lot of effort to bring you up the mountain and to my house."
"Thank you so much." Wu Tianxiao said, "Life is really fragile, often when you think of finally being free, fate pulls you back." I really don't know if this is a joy or a sorrow. ”
"Is it joy or sorrow? You are alive and should be happy. The old fisherman said, "Life is indeed fragile, but it is also tenacious. People like you,
At first glance, he is a masterpiece, why are he so worried? ”
Wu Tianxiao shook her head: "I don't know either...... It's like going to a ghost gate and being pulled back to the yang world. ”
"Is it so evil?" The old fisherman smiled, "Young man, I think you are too preoccupied, and even the fact that you are still alive can't make you happy, can you?" ”
Wu Tianxiao suddenly understood his situation: "If it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago." Now that I live in your house, I have to help you work, what do you need me to do? ”
"Help me with the work?"
"I won't ask for your alms for food and drink in this village, I will do my labor, such as doing some manual work for you."
"Hehehe, the son can be taught. However, my old bones are not yet to the point where they can't do their work. ”
"No, of course I didn't mean that."
"Hehehe......"
After Wu Tianxiao thanked him again, he hurriedly rushed into Cangyan City overnight.
He finally came to the area of the Imperial City in the center of the city.
Wu did not enter the palace directly, but disguised himself as a fisherman.
After bribing the doorman and saying that he had something important to report, he followed an official inside.
Coming to the palace that he was familiar with, Wu Tianxiao quietly slipped into the inner hall.
In the inner sanctum, he saw the queen mother.
She is not Wu Tianxiao's biological mother, but a stepmother.
Next to the queen mother is his brutal stepsister, the only princess of Xiaohan Country-Jin'er.
"Who? How dare you break into the inner sanctum? When the queen mother saw a fisherman in front of her, she frowned and looked disgusted.
He shouted in an exaggerated voice: "The prince is shipwrecked at sea!" ”
Wu Tianxiao wanted to see with her own eyes the reaction of everyone in this palace.
"Really?" After saying that, Yu'er, who was standing on the side, naturally smiled viciously and contentedly.
Jin'er has been a troublesome girl since she was a child, and she likes to poke people the most.
She hated Tianxiao and Tianjun the most, although the Wu brothers didn't do anything to be sorry for her at all.
Even so, Tianxiao and Tianjun did not get along with it.
On the contrary, it is Yu'er, who is the best at making trouble unreasonably, and is more or less a discordant note in the palace.
The father has always spoiled Princess Jin'er and let her indulge.
The queen mother has always been very cold to the two brothers, so she doesn't feel sad and doesn't react at all.
The queen mother had a bored expression on her face and said, "Where did the weirdo come from?" Talking openly and bewildering the public, they dare to spread such unlucky and harmful words! Someone's coming! ”
What about the father? Wu Tianxiao wants to find his father.
"Wait! In fact, it is ...... below" Wu Tianxiao tore off his fake beard at this time, revealing his true face.
"Ah, you're ......" her eyes widened, and she held out a hand to point at him.
When the queen mother saw her reaction, she also
He began to look intently at the man in front of him.
“…… Tianxiao? The queen mother was stunned for a long time before she spit out her words.
"Exactly! The ship I was on sank, and I managed to come back alive. Wu Tianxiao said.
"It's a pity......" Although Yu'er's voice was very small, she was still heard by Wu Tianxiao.
"You're coming back at this time?" The Queen Mother sneered, "Where did you hide when I needed you?" I heard that you went to another country to have fun! ”
"No, Erchen is here to get information."
"Hah! To put it lightly. The queen mother said, "Do you know that your father has been kidnapped?" ”
"Erchen knows, that's why he rushed back."
"Humph! It's a shame that your surname is still Wu! You martial artists......" said the queen mother, not continuing, for she had a better idea, "since you have returned, how can you not fulfill your firstborn duty and go and rescue your father?" ”
"Erchen doesn't understand."
"Don't you have a sword?" The queen mother lazily stretched out a finger and shook it in front of him, "Go, use that sword to get your kidnapped father back." It shouldn't be difficult, right? ”
She even spoke. Wu Tianxiao thought about it, and anger was already rising in her heart.
“…… Erchen understood, since it was for the life of his father......"
"Hehehe, good boy." The queen mother seemed to be happy, and the next to her also sneered.
"Wu Tianxiao, do you know that my father was tied up in the enemy camp by 10,000 rebels?" Yu'er looked at him with disdain.
"Ten thousand...... Rebels? Wu Tianxiao said.
"Don't look at us like this, we are under house arrest here, the entire palace is blocked, there is no way to send troops, if you want to get out, you have to disguise yourself as a fisherman." The Queen Mother said in a tone of no concern.
“…… I understand. "After all, my father is in the hands of the rebels, if something happens, it will definitely be a big mess in the world, and as a prince, I have to save my father alive if I say anything.
Qiushui is still waiting for him in Cloud Leaf City.
Thinking of this, Wu Tianxiao decided to take responsibility alone to save his father.
Wu Tianxiao asked where her father was kidnapped, said goodbye to her mother and princess, and left alone.
"What a fool, isn't it just to send a person to death to meet an army of 10,000?" Yu'er scoffed.
"That old guy is dead, and the eldest prince is dead, so our mother and daughter can be in power."
"Don't forget, there is also a second prince, which is also a headache."
"Ha, isn't it the same as cheating a child to trick him back?"
"He's a lot more cunning than this stupid rectum." Jin'er smiled and said, "Look at this Wu Tianxiao, she really looks like a fisherman!" Maybe that's what he's doing in another country! ”
"This is not a rectum," said the queen mother as she pondered, "and he looks modest and unobtrusive
is really the calmest in danger, and this kind of person should not be underestimated. ”
"That kind of big thing, it's all left to my mother to think about, and I'm a little girl's family, so I don't care."
"Hehe, Jin'er, don't bother your mother."
"Why does my mother talk like that?"
"You tell your mother the truth, aren't you sad even if all the martial arts men are dead?"
"Sad?" Yu'er laughed, "Mother! You taught me so well, how could I feel sorry for them? ”
"That's what I'm good at."
"Hehe, Wu Tianxiao will definitely not come back if he goes."
"I'm afraid that he won't die, and such a violent storm won't be able to end him!" The queen mother said, as if she was very unwilling.
"Don't worry, he's definitely gone this time."
"Jin'er, do you have a way to solve Wu Tianjun?"
"Hehe, I'll tell you the truth, Yao'er has prepared a lot of methods since a few years ago to make the people of their martial arts family disappear from the world!"
"I didn't cultivate you in vain."
"Of course I have a plan, but we've got to find a substitute."
"Definitely, who do you want to be?"
"Wouldn't it be more interesting if they had two brothers kill each other?"
"Then there is really a good show to watch, people all over the world will watch their martial arts split!"
"However, this brother is gone, the remaining brother, let's play him well?"
"I generally disdain to work with that kind of little hairy child," the queen mother smiled viciously, "but, after all, he is also the second prince of the Xiaohan Kingdom, hehe, if I can't get rid of him, who else can?" ”
"You're really ...... As fierce as ever. Jin'er looked admiring, "I'm also trying very hard to make them feel bad." ”
"Hehe, Jin'er, you can learn from your mother. In the palace, it will no longer be the world of the Wu family and his son. Just keep your eyes open and look at these people, they will die worse than the other! ”
