Chapter 13: Heart-to-heart exchange

Where is the place, there are few blue waves, willow heads, and characters in the world. Since then, the years have passed, and the soul has returned to his hometown.

Finally arrived on that day, Mu Ruoying was thinking about the day He Xiyou was most likely to attack her, the day of her canonization. The warm spring sun sprinkled on Mu Ruoying's court clothes, the past dynasties have changed, no woman has ever had a court dress, the emperor created a gold wire trim for her, a white finch court dress with black background hook, that is the supreme honor and status. Today, Mu Ruoying should follow the national system to explain her identity as the lord of Rong'an to the people of the dynasty, and pray for the protection of the gods, and the coming year will be smooth.

As soon as Mu Ruoying's front foot came out of the side courtyard, she saw a small guy outside the side courtyard sneakily looking into her courtyard, and it was He Xiyou's person at a glance, Ling Er probed Mu Ruoying's gaze, and saw the little guy in the flowers exploring around, and wanted to step forward to scold, but was stopped by Mu Ruoying.

"No, the snake really can't stand it. You remember, if you go to find Chu Lingran at noon, you must not delay. ”

"Miss, take care of your own safety."

Ling Er looked at Mu Ruoying worriedly, Mu Ruoying has eaten well and lived well these days, and she didn't take her life as if it was about to be in danger, until today, she is still so calm as she has calculated in her heart. Ling'er didn't even know if Mu Ruoying believed in herself too much, or believed in Chu Lingran too much, or if she was too reckless.

Mu Ruoying got on the morning waiting in front of the Mu Mansion in the morning car, the people of the capital heard that the first female official in a thousand years was going to worship today, so they came to the Mu Mansion to watch, Mu Ruoying was really startled by the battle in front of the Mu Mansion, Da Yue felt that the world of government has been controlled by a different person, and now that he has a peaceful life to live, he is very grateful to Mu Ruoying.

"Let's go!"

Mu Ruoying's chariot is framed by sixteen coachmen, the emperor's highest honor is twenty-four, Mu Ruoying's treatment in all aspects is the same as Mu Jinghong, it seems that the emperor's heart to win over Mu Ruoying can't be hidden for a moment. Mu Ruoying pretended to accept all the good of the emperor, but she never made a stand, what Mu Ruoying was waiting for was the occurrence of today's events, the attitude of the emperor and Mu Jinghong, He Xiyou's life, Mu Ruoying was going to decide.

Mu Ruoying felt the bump of the car, and when she arrived at the mountain, Mu Ruoying's whole nerves tensed, she knew that the time had come, she had no back moves except for Chu Lingran's move, if Chu Lingran came one step late, her life would be buried here. But sometimes, for some purposes, gambling with one's life can't be said to be worth it or not, it can only be said that it must be so, only in this way can the goal be achieved, and fate is sometimes so cruel.

The car walked through the uphill road on the mountain, and arrived at the area where the mountain was written, even if the road on the mountain was rugged, the sedan chair drivers did not go fast, but the people went to the mountain temple early to wait for Mu Ruoying's arrival, and the people under the mountain were also stopped by the emperor's guards, and did not follow Mu Ruoying's sedan chair. On the mountain road today, there are only Mu Ruoying and the sixteen sedan chair drivers. From the first time Mu Ruoying got into the car, she knew that the palanquin man was not sent by the emperor.

They could tell at a glance that they had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and although they swayed a few times when they lifted the sedan chair, the road on the mountain was so bumpy, Mu Ruoying had never heard the sixteen of them gasp, such a deep internal strength, it was a pity to be a sedan chair driver, and it was more than enough to be a killer.

Mu Ruoying held her breath in the sedan chair, counting the time, at three o'clock in the afternoon, it stands to reason that Ling'er should have found Chu Lingran, and Chu Lingran would also gather soldiers and horses to come to the mountains to rescue him, and the sedan chair should stop immediately......

Mu Ruoying's thoughts came here, and she was pulled out of reality by the shock of the sedan chair suddenly landing, and sure enough... Now is the time. Chu Lingran, it's up to you...... Mu Ruoying held her breath and stared, and heard that there were nearly 100 people in the mountains outside the sedan chair, plus 16 sedan chair drivers outside the sedan chair, it seemed that He Xiyou had spent a lot of effort to get rid of her this time.

Mu Ruoying sat upright in the sedan chair, her expression did not change at all, only her hands in the court clothes could see the panic in Mu Ruoying's heart at the moment. Chu Lingran, I don't have much time......

"Lord Rong'an, why did you hide in the sedan chair and not show up? Someone paid 3,000 taels of silver to buy your life, but our brother heard that the lord of Rong'an is unparalleled in appearance and peerless independence. Can you also open our brothers' eyes? ”

Mu Ruoying was actually flustered in her heart at the moment, if there was no mistake, she should have heard the sound of Chu Lingran's soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain at this moment, however, except for the sound of mountain bandits killing people, Mu Ruoying couldn't sense the sound of another team of soldiers and horses, if she really miscalculated... How?

She lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and sat in the sedan chair calmly, like an emperor sitting on the throne, proud of the crowd, so unruly and indifferent, not to be offended at all.

"Oh? Someone wants to buy my life? My life is only worth three thousand taels? ”

Mu Ruoying's ethereal voice passed through the entire mountain forest into the ears of the killers, and the killers looked at Mu Ruoying's face to understand that the rumors were true, Mu Ruoying did not belong to this world, her beauty was not allowed to be disturbed by anyone, her temperament was frost in the winter night, and she could freeze people with one touch.

"How much gold does the lord think he is worth?"

The leader of the killer hidden in the mountains took over Mu Ruoying's words, and he was a little reluctant to kill such a beauty, but unfortunately once the agreement was established, no matter how much gold it was, they couldn't go back.

"You should know that I am worth a world. The world is only worth three thousand taels of silver in your heart? ”

Mu Ruoying naturally knew that it was impossible for her to persuade a killer who had undergone strict training to let her go, and if she returned to the court alive today, the lives of those people would not be guaranteed, they had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and they also had the ability to weigh the pros and cons, Mu Ruoying just wanted to delay for a moment and wait for Chu Lingran......

"It's a pity, how can the lord of the kingdom think that I am so stupid as to believe that if I release the lord today, the lord of the kingdom will know that the grace will be repaid tomorrow and give me a world? Although we are in the rivers and lakes, we still cherish our lives. ”

As soon as the man's voice fell, he made a sentry, and Mu Ruoying heard the friction sound of the sword being unsheathed at the same time, and the sound was like the horn of death, indicating that Mu Ruoying might not be able to wait for Chu Lingran's arrival.

Mu Ruoying retreated to the edge of the cliff, her feet were ten thousand feet deep, if she really fell, there would be no reason to survive, but if not, she would die under their swords, Mu Ruoying thought about this game, even if she lost, she would not hesitate to lose her life, but she must not die in He Xiyou's strategy. Mu Ruoying had no way to retreat, looking at the hundreds of thousands of turns in the valley in the distance, whether a young man in angry clothes riding a red brown horse appeared in the distance.

The swords of those killers were getting closer and closer, and the guide was only an arm's length away from Mu Ruoying, Mu Ruoying heard the sound of the valley turning around in the abyss at the foot of the mountain, and she secretly made her last expectation, it was impossible for Ying'er not to bring that word, Chu Lingran... It was Chu Lingran who refused to come. The joy that Chu Lingran said, Mu Ruoying originally thought that it was mixed with sincerity, but now it seems that it is just a plot to use it.

Mu Ruoying jumped into the air, this is her last stubbornness, not that she is arrogant, thinking that there is no mistake in her calculations, only to fall to the end of the game, it is a bad move, she has never believed in anyone, since the age of eight, the world has left herself, she has lived to this day by virtue of her power and scheming and the hatred in her heart, she is now losing, losing in entrusting her fate to a person who thinks she is sincere, she is willing to gamble and lose.

A hand grabbed Mu Ruoying's waist during Mu Ruoying's rapid descent, and held her tightly in her arms, Mu Ruoying's whole person was wrapped in that tall and warm embrace, and even Mu Ruoying couldn't feel that she was telling the fall, Mu Ruoying didn't have time to react, and heard the dull voice of the man in her ear.

"Stupid, what if I was one step later?"

Mu Ruoying's face was wrapped in the man's chest, but Mu Ruoying didn't guess, she knew who that man was, he was here after all, no matter what the outcome was, it was good that he came, Mu Ruoying nested in the man's arms with peace of mind, waiting for herself to fall into the valley abyss with him.

"Chu Lingran, I've finally waited for you."

Mu Ruoying's muffled voice made Chu Lingran's heart empty for a beat, she... Are you coquettish with yourself? That lonely and heartless person, is he so confident that he will come? didn't even leave a way back for herself, she put her life in her own hands so trusting? Chu Lingran didn't have time to think about it, and he couldn't suppress the deepest love for Mu Ruoying in his heart, he used all his strength to hug Mu Ruoying, as if he wanted to turn Mu Ruoying into his bone marrow, so lingering and affectionate.

Chu Lingran finally found the right opportunity, at a height of the last few hundred meters, he pulled out the long sword in his arms, and slid a deep mark on the mountain wall with one hand, the high-speed fall made the long sword in Chu Lingran's hand rub out of sparks, Chu Lingran did not give up the slightest chance to let him and Mu Ruoying live, he rubbed hard, wanting to slow down the speed of his and Mu Ruoying's fall, Mu Ruoying's ears came with a fierce friction sharp sound, she was thinking, how long can Chu Lingran's arm strength last? If it continues like this, even Chu Lingran will ......

"Cluck."

Sure enough, Chu Lingran's elbow was broken, what a terrifying pain it was. Chu Lingran took Mu Ruoying in his arms without saying a word, as if it had never happened, if it weren't for Mu Ruoying feeling Chu Lingran's sweat soaking his clothes, and never knowing if Chu Lingran had taken off his shoulders and elbows, Chu Lingran continued to rub against the mountain wall, and the falling speed of him and Mu Ruoying became smaller and smaller, so small that Mu Ruoying never heard the whistling wind in his ears again.

Mu Ruoying and Chu Lingran smashed hard in the silt pool in the valley at the end, Chu Lingran protected Mu Ruoying's head with his hand at the last moment, and slammed his hand on the ground, Mu Ruoying knew that she and Chu Lingran had survived, but Chu Lingran didn't let go for a long time.

"Chu Lingran ......"

Mu Ruoying wanted to leave Chu Lingran's chest and check on Chu Lingran's injury, how could it not hurt, it was the pain of broken bones.

"Don't move, be obedient, let me hold for a while."

Chu Lingran's low and beautiful voice echoed in the valley, but Mu Ruoying could hear the tremor and pain in her tone, Chu Lingran didn't let go of Mu Ruoying even in the end, Mu Ruoying thought of her mother when she was bullied by He Xiyou when she was a child, and she would protect Mu Ruoying, his arms were as warm as her mother. Mu Ruoying nestled in Chu Lingran's arms and shed tears, Mu Ruoying thought that she would never cry again in her life, and now she should be a coward that can only be found in dreams.

Chu Lingran's body was stunned, he couldn't believe it, the warmth he felt in his arms and the trembling of the girl's body, she... Crying. The girl whose eyes were full of pain but penetrated countless people in the world, Chu Lingran thought that her heart was invulnerable, but she left tears in his arms.

"You... Trust me like that? ”

"Well, you'll definitely come."

Mu Ruoying replied to Chu Lingran with a crying voice. In fact, Mu Ruoying's voice is very feminine, but she can always feel the coldness and loneliness in her words. It seems so ethereal and does not belong to the world. Now Mu Ruoying, that sentence was engraved on Chu Lingran's heart word by word, dismantling all Chu Lingran's embankments against Mu Ruoying, he thought that if Mu Ruoying would hate himself in the end, it would be better to never be together, so he suppressed the deepest feelings in his heart. But now, he knew that he no longer had the strength to give up the girl who made him obsessed, even if she hated him, he wanted her to belong to him, to be Chu Lingran's wife in life, and to die in Chu Lingran's fellow cavemen.

"Ying'er, I saved your life. How are you going to pay me back this time? ”

Chu Lingran finally loosened the strength of his arm and let Mu Ruoying look at him, Chu Lingran saw the wetness in Mu Ruoying's eyes, and still unconsciously felt sour in his heart, that girl so easily controlled the deepest love and hate in his heart. Mu Ruoying was able to see the world, and at first glance, he saw Chu Lingran's eyes, his face was already pale, and sweat was all over his handsome face, Mu Ruoying knew that Chu Lingran should be in pain at this moment.

"What do you want? One hundred gold, is there more. ”

Mu Ruoying opened this mouth with a weak heart, she knew that no amount of money at the moment could repay Chu Lingran's love, but she was not willing to entrust her heart like this, Chu Lingran was by no means an idle person, and if she really entrusted it, what was left of her to protect herself from being hurt by this world?

"You're so little and have no conscience. I don't want money, I want more, you know me, I never make a loss-making business, I want a sincere heart from my sweetheart. ”

Chu Lingran looked at the woman in his arms, didn't dare to look at himself, buried his head in his arms, and said a hundred gold in a weak heart, Chu Lingran was laughed at by her. She is really an open exit, her left arm should be completely dislocated at this moment, she is only worth a hundred gold in her heart, and she will not lose this business.

"Chu Lingran, I can't give this. You and I both know that we are thinking about the world, how can you afford to give me a true heart? ”

"Ying'er, I can afford it, at the moment you fell, I was crazy looking for you, I want to protect my sweetheart, I want you. I will follow my life, and you should also exchange your heart. ”
