Chapter Ninety-Three: Night Talk
"Today's court meeting is over, and if there is something to discuss tomorrow, it's all gone." Yun'er stood up, glanced in the direction of Wucheng and said.
Then he ignored the ministers and walked straight out of the main hall from the back road.
"Where is the princess going?" The maid guards on the side hurriedly followed.
"They fought." Yun'er casually took off the high jade crown on her head and threw it to the maid, and walked quickly.
"If the princess wants to go to Wucheng, the slave maid will let people prepare a sedan chair." The maid said.
"No need." Yun'er chuckled.
The maid faintly heard a strange roar, and a long sword flew out of the palace and stood horizontally in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, rising a few feet against the storm. She stepped onto the sword and disappeared into the distance.
The maid was stunned, and the jade crown in her hand almost slipped off.
"Male... Did Her Royal Highness just step on a bigger sword and fly away? She turned back to the guards, thinking she was dazzled.
"It's like... Be... Belch. ”
"They all said that Her Royal Highness the princess was a heavenly immortal, and I thought they were marveling at Her Highness's beauty." The maid said dumbfoundedly, isn't the legendary flying of the sword a means of the gods?
"Is that a fairy sword? How can it be big or small? Someone said.
"Lonely and unheard, many spiritual weapons can cast magic phases, and that sword is the Phoenix Guqin Sword that ranks seventh on the list of divine weapons. I think Her Royal Highness the princess should be strong enough in martial arts cultivation to step into the air, not some immortal means. There was a guard who was well-informed and said loudly.
The leader of the guards looked at him deeply, "Her Royal Highness the Princess's speed, let alone an ordinary grandmaster, even a powerhouse in the King Realm is far behind. ”
As a grandmaster powerhouse, he can also do it when he flies in the air. But the speed at which His Highness left was so fast that it was beyond his comprehension, and it was impossible for even the Lord Steward to reach it. It's like the art of the sword recorded in ancient books.
The sword is multiplied by the thought of a thousand miles, allowing her to effortlessly reach the extreme speed that a human can bear.
"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and catch up." The leader of the guard kicked them.
"Oh—" The guards came to their senses.
Outside the dock city, Jing Ge and the hard-faced scholar were in full swing, the sky was dark, and the two figures on the black and white chessboard were entangled and intertwined, leaving a string of afterimages, with an astonishing atmosphere. If it weren't for the restraint of both of them, those knights would not have been able to get so close to watch the battle.
Even if you get close, there are very few people who can see clearly.
"This young man is so powerful, he can really fight with Gu Shengren without falling behind." They were shocked, it was terrifying to have such strength at such an age.
Even Liu Shuang changed color, and it didn't take long for the young man to find no rival. Or perhaps, he has reached the pinnacle of martial arts.
She was gifted enough to see the two fighting.
"This kid is really not a good thing, he is full of bad water, and he is not a decent gentleman." She shook her head.
She could see that Jing Ge was already at a disadvantage at this time, and he would be defeated in a short time. It was because he had played a little trick before, calculated the bitter-faced scholar, and found the opportunity to punch his eye sockets, although it didn't cause much damage, but the feminine darkness penetrated through and blackened the scholar's eye sockets.
Pi angered the scholar and made him go berserk. Jing Ge's momentum was weakened, but he was suppressed, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"This man is not bad-hearted, but he is very cunning, and everything is in his calculations. It's also a friend worth making deeply. Liu Shuang thought to herself, looking at the figure of the sword coming from the sky.
"Stop."
The knights followed the prestige, only to see a person standing on a sword in the air, the glow flickering, like a fairy.
"Ah, Your Highness Princess!"
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess." They saluted.
Jing Ge heard the voice and hurriedly took the opportunity to retreat, and the bitter scholar also stopped and stopped pursuing.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if he continued to fight, he would really be beaten by that bitter-faced scholar Haibian. Sure enough, he is worthy of being the first person in the Song Kingdom, and he is not known how many times stronger than the old man who has a bearded crane.
"What are you doing?" Yun'er glared at Jing Ge angrily, as if she was a little dissatisfied.
"I didn't do anything." Jing Ge replied weakly, not knowing if she was angry.
"I didn't do anything, why did I fight with Uncle Gu." Yun'er approached him as she spoke, her tone tinged with a hint of complaint.
"I'm not worried about someone bullying you." Jing Ge said.
"Who will bully me but you." Yun'er hummed softly, but her heart was full of joy.
It's always happy to see him, and more importantly, this time, he has returned to his previous state. It's not as preoccupied and silent as some time ago. Yun'er can know at a glance.
"How could I be willing to bully you, but you, didn't wait for me to get out of the customs and ran here." Jing Ge said.
"I learned that my aunt was here a few days ago, and I was in a hurry..."Hearing him say this, Yun'er felt a little embarrassed and explained.
"I didn't mean to blame you, I was just worried about your safety, and now it seems that it's okay."
Jing Ge looked at her like this, raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said gently.
"Naturally, I know that you don't dare to blame me, Uncle Gu is my uncle, how can you do anything with him, and you still beat his eyes swollen." Yun'er gave him a blank look and said.
The bitter-faced scholar not far away was expressionless, unfazed, but his heart was speechless, Your Royal Highness Princess, are you afraid that the people below will not know that the kid punched me, and specially emphasized.
The knights below really looked at the bitter-faced scholar in unison, thinking that it turned out that this battle was actually a loss for Gu Shengren.
"I didn't know he was your uncle." Jing Ge hurriedly defended.
"Didn't you always say that you don't hit people in the face before, but now you forgot?" Yun'er asked.
"Did I say such a thing? If you don't hit someone in the face, then what's the point? Jing Ge said that he had never said anything like that.
"Shut up, why don't you go and apologize to Uncle Gu?" Yun'er glared at him viciously.
"Oh, okay."
Jing Ge obediently stepped forward to apologize to the bitter-faced scholar.
"Uncle Gu, please forgive him, don't take it to heart." Yun'er was on the side to help speak.
The bitter-faced scholar nodded, and the bitter gourd face seemed to be a little more bitter. The sleeves fluttered away and disappeared from everyone's sight.
As soon as he left, Yun'er winked at Jingge playfully. Jing Ge couldn't help but smile, this Nizi is very smart and knows her mind completely. deliberately said that the scholar was beaten, so that the people below mistakenly thought that he was not an enemy of him.
"You look very good in this Nine Phoenix robe, and it looks extremely noble and magnificent." Jing Ge boasted, Yu Yun was dressed in a robe embroidered with gold silk, which was full of brilliance, which complemented her peerless appearance, which was really amazing.
"Yes." Yun'er glanced down at her robe.
"You say you look good in whatever you wear, you are flamboyant, and you have a flamboyant tongue." She snorted.
"That's true." Jing Ge had no choice but to spread his hands.
"Yes, yes, I see that after you came out of the customs this time, you look good, and you have already succeeded?" Yun'er stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and the two slowly fell back to the ground.
"Sort of." Jing Ge nodded, and continued his life for three years, he was optimistic about the future, and in order to avoid Yun'er asking for details, it was better to divert the topic.
"It's been seven days, do you miss me?" He asked.
"No, get out." Yun'er replied that during his time in the imperial capital, he asked this every time he met, even if it was just one night.
"Really?"
"Hmph, what about you? Do you have. Yun'er asked rhetorically.
"Yes, I miss you for a while, and I always think about your voice and smile." Jing Ge replied without hesitation.
A hint of blush appeared on Yun'er's face, she was used to Jing Ge's words. It's just that today there is a large group of knights behind him who are eavesdropping on the two of them, and they are always a little embarrassed.
She didn't answer again, but just tightened the intimate Jingge a little tighter.
Behind him was a sound of sighs and heartbreaks, and the cold and noble princess was walking with others at the moment.
"Ah, Your Highness Princess!"
"My heart is going to break..."
All kinds of sighs were endless, but no one dared to challenge the young man who had swollen Gu Shengren's eyes.
"He defeated Gu Shengren, but he is barely worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"yes, it's a good match."
There are also some honest people who say so.
"He's also a King Realm powerhouse, but he doesn't know what the title is?" A chivalrous man behind him spoke.
Yun'er suddenly stopped, smiled and turned back to the chivalrous warrior behind him and said, "He doesn't have a title, and he doesn't want any title." It is the song of the scenery, the scenery of the scenery, the song of singing and dancing. ”
"Why don't you want it, it's called King Jing, the King of Singers or something is very good." Jing Ge said in a low voice, thinking about making a well-known name.
Yun'er slapped him with a backhand, "If I say don't want it, don't do it." ”
I just thought that Yun'er's mind was the simplest and purest, but gradually I found that she also became difficult to understand, it is really a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, Jing Ge thought secretly.
"If you say don't want it, then don't do it, they just call me King Jing and King Ge or something, and I won't agree." Jing Ge said.
The corners of Yun'er's mouth curved slightly, and she nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go back to the palace." She said.
"There is still a palace in this Qingqiu?" Jing Ge was surprised.
"Naturally, there is."
"Even if the country is broken, hiding in this kind of place is to build a palace, and no matter how difficult it is, it can't lose the prestige of the emperor's official family." Jing Ge said with a smile, these remnants of the dead Song Dynasty must be extremely extravagant, and they have always refused to surrender to Xiliang, just to maintain their own decent life.
Yun'er sighed lightly and was silent.
Jing Ge wanted to say something, but when he saw her like this, he stopped talking, he knew how tangled and complicated Yun'er's mood was at this time.
As the princess of the Song Kingdom, there is no hope of recovering the country, and the old subjects are entrenched here. Now that he is back, he is embraced by them and pushed into that position. In which direction should I take them?
Now she is no longer Yu Yun, but Song Yun.
And he can't stay here for long. You can't have both fish and bear's paws, and the subject and him must always choose one or the other. Although it did not grow here, it was the blood of the Song royal family after all, and some things were born and would never change.
Jing Ge just followed her, slowly walking along the small stream on the outskirts of the city.
Qingqiu is not particularly cold in winter, there is still flowing water, from time to time with a few fallen leaves away, it does not look sluggish, Qingqiu is really green.
Of course Jing Ge knows what is on her mind, so why not his mind. He even regretted it a little, he knew that this was the case, and he shouldn't have let Yun'er come into contact with those talents.
However, seeing that she was safe and sound here, and she had never been wronged, in the end, Jing Ge let go of her hanging heart and calmed down a little.
If something is going to happen, it's okay to face it.
"Your martial arts cultivation seems to have improved a lot, and you are about to be able to defeat Uncle Gu, and the effect of this retreat is really good." Yun'er broke the silence, and the knights behind her had gradually dispersed, and they walked along the path towards the Qingqiu Palace.
Jing Ge nodded and said, "After all, it's still a little worse, those famous Wang Jing are not simple characters, all of them have the stunt of pressing the bottom of the box, and it is still extremely difficult to deal with if you are really anxious." What's more, what about your Uncle Gu, after all, he is the first person in the Song Kingdom. ”
He said that he would not hide anything in front of Yun'er.
"You've only been practicing martial arts for a long time, and it's only been a year since you fought a full battle, and it's already rare to meet an opponent. If it is passed out, it is enough to shock a basket of Luo's jaws. Still not satisfied? Yun'er gave him a blank look.
Jing Ge shook his head and smiled, "If it only takes one year to get to this point, wouldn't the talent surpass you?" I've been practicing martial arts for more than a year. ”
Yun'er was surprised, "Could it be that you started practicing before you lost your memory?" ”
Jing Ge nodded, although he didn't remember it clearly, he also knew that he had started practicing martial arts when he was young and had laid a solid foundation. Later, he hid his strength and never made a move in front of the world, so everyone in the imperial capital thought that the gentleman was powerless.
"It doesn't seem too shocking."
"The shocking thing is that you are favored by God." Jing Ge stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead.
"Hmph, then you have to be careful, in another year or two, I will be able to suppress you, don't imagine being so rude to me now." Yun'er slapped his fingers away and said arrogantly.
Jing Ge smiled, with the speed at which she entered the country, she would indeed surpass herself in a year or two.
"Then I'll have to take advantage of the moment to be hairy for a while." With that, he picked her up amid Yun'er's exclamation.
Yun'er broke free, and the two chased and fought in the forest, and when they returned to the Qingqiu Palace, it was almost dusk.
The guards were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they didn't know where to go to find Her Royal Highness. I am worried that Her Royal Highness the princess was really abducted by the young man who fought with Mr. Gu today.
Now that she saw that Her Royal Highness the princess had returned, she hurriedly surrounded her.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, you are back." The maid said with teary eyes.
"It's just going for a walk, don't worry." Yun'er said.
"Who is this?" The guard looked at Jing Ge and knew that he was the young man who had swept many masters today, but he didn't know what to call him.
"Master Pony." Jing Ge said directly.
"It's not hey, his name is Jingge." Yun'er screwed him.
"Oh, Mr. Jing, if tonight, the slave maid will have someone prepare a room for Mr. to rest." The maid bowed and saluted.
"No need, he can rest in my dormitory, let's disperse." Yun'er said directly.
The guards and maidservants present were petrified in an instant, and Her Royal Highness the princess wanted to leave the man to spend the night in his bedroom? That's too immoral, isn't it?
"Your Royal Highness Princess, isn't this a little inappropriate?" The maid whispered.
"What's the discomfort?" Yun'er frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Then you can go and prepare a bedroom for him." ”
"Yes." The maid saw that Her Royal Highness the princess had changed her mind, and she was overjoyed. But I don't know what Yun'er thinks in her heart is whatever you prepare, anyway, he will come to me in the middle of the night, just to save you some trouble.
Both of them are the kind of people who don't pay much attention to the world's eyes, they don't care much about what others think, they are nothing at all, how can they hide it because of this.
We both know in our hearts that separation is imminent, and there is always something to say.
The night is getting darker, and it gets dark quickly in winter. It was cold outside the house, and the two of them were eating with a charcoal fire in Yun'er's bedroom.
retreated left and right, just like the banana courtyard in Meixianglou in the past. The two sat opposite each other, with a few small dishes on the table and a pot of turbid wine on the coals.
The two ate this dinner very quietly, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Jing Ge sat on the couch, staring at the dancing flames in a daze, pondering.
"What are you thinking?" Song Yun approached, she took off her majestic and gorgeous Nine Phoenix robes, and only put on a tulle pajamas.
"I wonder why they brought you back." Jing Ge replied, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether this Qingqiu has a princess or not.
"This Qingqiu is controlled by the powerful of the old country, and there has been no royal blood here. It also seems to be unjustifiable, the people's hearts are gradually dispersed, and many people have the intention of returning to Xiliang. When they found me, they naturally hoped that in the name of the princess, they would continue to carry out the banner of recovering the Song Dynasty. Yun'er said.
"Then why don't they want to return to Xiliang?" Jing Ge asked deliberately.
"In this Qingqiu Gouyan, no matter what, they are also high lords, and if they descend to Xiliang, they will be reduced to ordinary people. In other words, you are afraid or unwilling. Yun'er sat beside him and said.
"Ah, it turns out that their little caution can't escape my Yun'er's eyes." Jing Ge said with a smile, thinking that Yun'er might not be able to see clearly, but at this time, she felt that her heart was like a mirror and she had already gained insight.
"Oh, you are the smartest in the world, and everyone else is a fool." She squinted at Jing Ge and said.
Jing Ge smiled awkwardly, "But even so, I'm still very worried about your safety." Xiliang's Fourth and Seventh Legions were stationed not far away, eyeing each other. It seems to be stable now, but once Xiliang wants to attack Daqin, he will definitely level Qingqiu first, if you are still here at that time, there will be chaos, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. ”
Qingqiu is in the rear of the front line of Xiliang and Daqin, and the two countries will never tolerate the existence of an unstable factor behind them.
Therefore, when the beacon smoke is lit, Qingqiu will bear the brunt. How Song Yun didn't know this.
"I know." Yun'er nodded.
"Now that the end of the year is approaching, we have been away from the imperial capital for a while, and my mother must be very missed, so we should go back to reunite." Jing Ge tried to convince her to go home with her.
Song Yun looked at Jing Ge and shook her head slightly, she stood up, turned to the side, and said for a long time.
"The affection between you and me is clear to each other, and we have always been calm. In this life, I have already decided to accompany you, and I will not abandon life and death. ”
"But helplessly, after all, I have the blood of the Song royal family in my body. You know I can't leave Qingqiu at this time. Just like you, no matter what conditions Xiliang prescribes, you don't want to help them open Yanmen Pass. Yun'er turned around, looked directly at Jing Ge and said, she knew that he could understand her too.
"You told me about the king's origins. Once upon a time, there were people who stepped forward to protect the people in times of crisis, and the people called the strongest of them "kings." Therefore, the king not only has the right to command his subjects, but also has the obligation to protect them. And now, I am their princess. She whispered.
The young man in front of her told her how the first emperors came.
Yes, those people called her Princess, and now Qingqiu is in a difficult situation. How could she, with her temperament, abandon her subjects in times of crisis? She will do whatever it takes to love and live and die with her subjects.
Even if the Song Kingdom is dead, she is still the noble princess who does not lose the dignity of a king. She is still willing to shoulder the responsibility of that title, and do her best to protect the subjects who praise her name.
Jing Ge was not surprised and expected this result.
For her, responsibility may be more important than the love of children.
