Adventures in Heaven Chapter 22 ( Escape from Heaven II )
Adventures in Heaven (novel) Zhang Baotong
The princess was shocked when she heard this, and her expression changed greatly, "Gongzi is already a subject of the heavenly kingdom, why do you want to return to Han China?" Doesn't the son know that the maiden is inseparable from the son? With a long sigh, I told the princess that I had killed Sai Na, and then said, "If I do not flee from this place, I will be plotted by the captain." www.biquge.info The princess nodded understandingly, then lowered her head for a long time, and said sadly, "The maiden has given her body and mind to the son, if the princess leaves, who will the maiden leave with?" I said, "Long Hua couldn't bear to leave the princess, so he invited the princess to come and meet her." If the princess doesn't like it, you can go to Han China with Longhua, stay for a year and a half, and Longhua will return to heaven with the princess, I don't know what the princess means? ”
When the princess heard this, she showed hesitation and said, "I often hear Gongzi tell about the mystery and wonder of Han China, and the concubine has been fascinated by Han China for a long time. It's just that as soon as the concubine leaves, I don't know how His Majesty the elder brother will be worried. When I saw that the princess could not bear to leave, and that it was getting late, I let out a long sigh and said, "If this is the case, please take care of her." Long Hua said goodbye with tears. So saying, I bowed to the princess, turned around, wiped my tears, and walked briskly towards the path to the east.
Before I could get any far, I heard the princess shouting from behind, "Childe be careful." "I heard the shouting, and when I looked back, I didn't know when the Captain had swung his sword and chased after me. I panicked for a moment, hurriedly threw the cloth bag on my body to the ground, drew my long sword from my waist, and faced the captain. The Lieutenant smiled sinisterly and contemptuously at me, and said, "What is the crime of trying to kidnap the princess and flee from heaven?" "Although I was a little timid in my heart, I didn't change my face, "Long Hua just missed it and wanted to meet the princess, and he didn't plan to hijack it." I'm afraid that the captain is too careful. The lieutenant pressed a few steps at me with his sword, then lifted my cloth bag with his sword, and said, "If you are not plotting to kidnap the princess and flee from heaven, why do you bring ropes and dry food?" ”
At this time, the princess had already rushed over, and said to the lieutenant in a commanding tone, "Dare to treat the prince like this?" Du Wei smiled coldly and said, "If the prince wants to kidnap the princess, Du Wei can't ignore it." "I know that Du Wei is here to kill people and kill me, but when it comes to swordsmanship, how can I be Du Wei's opponent, so I said to Du Wei in a pleading tone, "Longhua is not trying to kidnap the princess, but because Du Wei will not tolerate it, he will stay away from here and return to Han China." Please make it convenient for the captain to let Longhua go. ”
Du Wei shook his head and said, "It's not okay to let you go, but you must first convince the princess to marry me." "Obviously, the lieutenant was trying to make things difficult for me, so I said, "Whoever the princess wants to marry is the princess's will." How could I convince the princess? Du Wei said, "The Queen Mother had already decided to marry the princess to me, but the prince was tempted and deceived the princess, and Du Wei only hated that he had failed to get the princess to death." Hearing this, I knew that Du Wei would not let me go no matter what, so I said, "Even so, Long Hua Wei and Du Wei will fight to the death." ”
"Well," said the lieutenant, "and then he swung his sword straight at me." I slashed my sword and fought and retreated, but the captain's swordsmanship was really deep and sharp, and a continuous rapid attack quickly forced me to a big tree, so that I could no longer retreat. I leaned my back against the tree, desperately resisting the captain. However, the lieutenant disrupted my response with a lightning-fast attack. As soon as the rhythm was out of order, I panicked, and accidentally landed my sword on the ground during the parry.
When the captain saw that the long sword in my hand was lost, he picked up my long sword from the ground, and while inserting his long sword into the sheath, he used the other long sword to reach my throat, and said with a hideous smile, "The time for the death of the prince has come, what else can I say?" I held my head high and said," Long Hua returned from death and had nothing to say. "In that case, don't blame Captain Bendu for being ruthless." As he spoke, he stabbed me in the throat with a sword. Seeing this scene, the princess shouted, "Wait, please let the princess return to Han China, and the concubine will marry Du Wei voluntarily." The lieutenant looked happy and said, "Is this true?" The princess said, "Heaven is the witness." The lieutenant looked at the princess, and felt that what she said was true, so he removed the tip of his sword from my neck, and said to me viciously, "Depart quickly, and never return." ”
I didn't say a word, like a defeated with her tail between my legs, and hurriedly picked up the cloth bag from the ground, and was escorted by the lieutenant in the direction of the rising sun. However, I knew in my heart that the Lieutenant wanted to take me to a hidden place and execute me. In this way, he can kill me and deceive the princess. I knew my future had come, but I didn't even have the courage to look back at the princess again. When I was escorted to a low slope not far away, I heard the princess scream, ran over from that side, handed me the long flute in his hand, and said, "Take care, childe", and then turned around and walked back, I wanted to say another word to the princess, but I didn't open my mouth, I knew that as long as I opened my mouth, I would cry bitterly. I can't cry in front of the captain.
Not far away is a forest. The woods presented an unpredictable view in the sunlight, as if hiding some kind of ominous and murderous intention. A gloomy wind blew from the forest, and I couldn't help but feel a violent trembling. So, I stopped, and waited for the princess to come to my aid. When the lieutenant saw that I would not go forward, he put his sword against the back of my heart and forced me to go forward quickly. I turned around and said, "Why did the Captain break his word?" Du Wei snorted and said, "There is nothing to do in the kingdom of heaven, but it was the prince who instigated His Majesty to pay a private visit, which caused the case of the murder of the former king to make waves again, if it wasn't for the queen mother's intervention, Ben Du Wei would have died under the king's knife a long time ago." If you don't kill you today, you will be killed by Childe in the future," I asked knowingly, "So, the former king was murdered by Captain?" Du Wei said, "Presumably Childe already knows." I smiled disdainfully and said, "Yes, but Long Hua didn't know why Du Wei took such a sin and risk. Du Wei said, "If the prince wants to know, it doesn't hurt to say it." The king is very old, and the queen mother is in her youth, so after entering the palace, she secretly fell in love with Ben Du Wei, and often carried the king behind his back to be a secret husband and wife, and had a son, who is now in the second level of the school village. However, I don't know who told the king about this, and the king was furious and wanted to banish the Captain and the Queen Mother to the mountains. When the Queen Mother and I learned of this, we preemptively attacked and poisoned the king to death in Taocun. This matter is also a last resort. ”
