Chapter One Hundred and Two

This voice ......, it was Ning Qianyi. Now, only Ning Qianyi will call her by this name. But why, all in the middle of the night?

She frowned, sighed softly, turned her head, and glanced in the direction of the dense forest, feeling that the familiar feeling seemed to have disappeared. Is he gone? His heart was slightly empty, but a faint smile appeared on his face, and he closed the window and lit the lamp before opening the door.

The man at the door was still smiling heartyly, and his burning eyes showed an unusually expectant look. This person is none other than Wang Ning Qianyi, who only got the news three days ago.

As soon as Ning Qianyi saw her, he held her hand tightly, "Liyue, long time no see, are you okay?" His eyes lingered greedily on her, and his heart was irrepressibly sorry, the woman in front of him was much thinner and more haggard than a year ago, her face was pale, silky as snow, but that face was so beautiful that it was terrifying!

Manyao's eyes faintly swept over the two men behind him who were already amiable, nodded and smiled at him: "I'm fine, thank you Qianyi for your concern!" "This man, enthusiastic and hearty, is still as good as yesterday.

She was as familiar with calling his name as she was a year ago, and there was no detached look, and when he heard Ning Qianyi's eyes shining brightly, like fireworks, his heart suddenly jumped with joy. The woman who fell in love at first sight and has been haunted by her since then, he finally saw her again! This time, she is physically and mentally hurt, can he keep her by his side?

With his burning gaze and undisguised emotion in his eyes, Man Yao lowered his head slightly, and withdrew his hand without a trace. Just by calling his name, he couldn't help but be happy.

Emperor Qiyun's eyes in the corridor moved slightly, and his ice-gray eyes seemed to have a layer of mist, making it difficult to see his expression.

Zong Zheng lowered his eyes gloomily, hiding the lonely and lonely color in his eyes. Once, she let down her guard against him and hugged him and slept with him, but now, even this way of getting along between her and Ning Qianyi is his untouchable dream.

Ning Qianyi's arrival made their hope of taking her back suddenly come to naught. Not only because this sassy and heroic emperor has the most elite war horse in the world, but also because this woman's friendship with him is a hundred times deeper than theirs.

Ning Qianyi turned his head to look at the other two men in the corridor who were equally noble, and said apologetically: "You came to my Dusty Wind Country as a guest, as your friend, I couldn't pick you up in person, I have lost my sight, and now Jingran is still one step later than Emperor Qiyun and Emperor Beihuang, I am really ashamed!" I hope you don't get out of trouble! ”

Man Yao shook his head lightly, and before he could speak, Emperor Qiyun smiled first: "The King of Cangzhong is really too polite!" The period of horse selection is about to begin, and the king of Cangzhong must be busy, and it is not easy to come here in person. I believe that it is too late for the imperial sister to be moved in her heart, so how can you blame the king of Cangzhong? Imperial sister, you say, imperial brother, am I right? ”

The corners of Manyao's mouth hooked slightly, and a trace of ridicule was quickly hidden in her smile, and she said softly: "Brother Huang is very right!" Qianyi, since you are my friend, you don't need to be so polite. Since he wants to play the role of a loving brother, she might as well cooperate with him.

Zong Zheng stepped forward without a chip, and said with a gentle smile: "The king of Cangzhong is indeed too worried, Rong Le's temperament, I don't dare to say that I know it very well, at least I understand some of it, she won't take this matter to heart." ”

Ning Qianyi laughed loudly, "It's still the Emperor Qiyun and the Northern Emperor who know Liyue better!" ,

Noncommittal, he smiled faintly, and his face was unwavering.

"Don't even stand still, come in and talk. She was the first to turn and enter the house, and the three followed.

A simple room, except for a wooden bed, with only a dilapidated table and four chairs. The three of them bowed to each other for a few words, and deliberately waited for Emperor Qiyun to sit down, and then sat opposite him. Ning Qianyi looked at the house, Liyue actually lived in such a bad place, and he felt that he felt sorry for her.

The guest asked the boss to personally serve tea, and he was so nervous that his hands and feet trembled. He has run such an inn all his life, and he has only spent his life in peace and stability, but he never imagined that one day, because of a woman, so that his small inn would come to so many noble and incomparably big people at once, he couldn't help but be terrified, his voice trembled, his eyes only stared at the tea tray in his hand, and stammered: "A few distinguished guests, please use slowly, slowly." I don't know what to call these people for a while, although he has a slight identity and has opened a store for so many years, he has a little bit of eyes. Seeing the demeanor and bearing of these people before, it was already indescribable, and he just heard each other's names from the conversation, which made him shocked, the boss served the tea tremblingly, and retreated, and when he arrived at the door, Ning Qianyi suddenly opened his mouth to stop him, "Wait a minute." ,

The shopkeeper was already nervous, and his legs were so frightened by his shout that his legs weakened, knelt on the ground, and shouted in a panic, "The villain knows his mistake, the villain knows his mistake, please spare the king." He kept kowtowing as he spoke.

Ning Qianyi laughed and said, "You don't have to panic, I won't eat you." This room, no one else is allowed to move in in the future, do you understand? The Union sent a thousand taels of gold as a reward.

A thousand taels of gold? The shopkeeper was stunned by these words, and thought that he was dreaming, he had never seen so much gold in his life, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Stunned slightly, Ning Qianyi doesn't need to be so exaggerated! Just for this one room? Not to mention this room, a thousand taels of gold, I'm afraid I don't know how many inns like this have bought!

Zong Zheng smiled and said: "The king of Cangzhong is not only bold and generous, but also meticulous as dust, I am ashamed of myself. ”

Emperor Qiyun carefully observed between the two, and continued meaningfully: "The most important thing is the heart of the king of Cangzhong to treat the emperor's sister. Royal sister, don't you say? There was an indescribable ambiguity in that tone.

Manyao's eyebrows frowned slightly, his heart was disgusted, and he glanced at him coldly without a trace, what idea did he want to fight?

Zong Zhengwu's face changed slightly, seeing that Ning Qianyi had been staring at Manyao, the color of love in his eyes was naturally revealed, and he did not hide it for a moment, his eyes sank, and he looked at Manyao, and then smiled: "I have thanked the king of Cangzhong for Rongle." When I and Rong Le return to the Northern Dynasty and hold a ceremony after the sealing, the king of Cangzhong must come to watch Xin in person. I owe Rong Le a year for this post-closure ceremony, and it has dragged on for too long. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and held his hand at the bottom of the table, smiling extremely gently, and it was also the affection that did not hide his eyes.

Instinctively, he tried to withdraw his hand, but he grabbed it tightly. She frowned, trying her best to break away, but felt that his palm was spread out by him, Zong Zheng Wucai smiled and spoke, and quickly wrote five words in her palm: "Do you still want to be a chess piece?" ”

Man Yao naturally understood the meaning of this sentence, stopped struggling, and did not say anything about Zongzheng's helpless words, this is impossible at all, what he wants to do has nothing to do with her.

Ning Qianyi immediately smiled, his originally hearty and atmospheric face had a little more of the seriousness and depth of an emperor, he looked at the white head of the man, there was distress and anger in his eyes, his voice sank unconsciously, and he said with accusations between his words: "What the Northern Emperor owes to Liyue seems to be more than just a post-sealing ceremony, right?" Zong Zheng Wuchou frowned slightly, his face did not change at all, but the hand holding her under the table trembled obviously, and his five fingers tightened unconsciously, as if he wanted to transmit all the feelings in his heart to her heart through the fit palm. He looked up at Ning Qianyi and said in a deep voice, "'The king of Cangzhong is right, I really owe Rong Le too much. So the harem has been vacant so far, just to wait for her to come back. If Rong Leken gives me this opportunity, then I swear that in the years to come, I will do everything I can to make up for what I owe her! “

Empty harem! Ning Qianyi's heart sank, and she suddenly remembered the sentence she had asked a year ago, she said: "Three palaces and six courtyards, countless beauties, the sincerity of an emperor, how true do you think?" , the bright light like a star dimmed, and this alone, he seems to have lost his qualifications at present.

Emperor Qiyun's ice-gray eyes turned, and he smiled and picked up a glass of water, his hand seemed to be unable to hold it steady when he raised it, and as soon as his fingers slipped, the water in the cup splashed out to the ground. He looked at the empty cup in his hand, then looked at the water meandering on the ground, and sighed regretfully: "The old saying is really good, it is difficult to collect it when it is covered with water, but it is a pity that this cup of good tea is good." ”

Zong Zheng's eyes changed without a plan, and his eyes were as sharp as arrows, Ning Qianyi was slightly stunned, and the smile immediately returned to his face, "It's hard to collect the water Emperor Qiyun said well." "His eyes lit up, and when he looked at the world, the only people who could match him were the Southern Emperor, the Northern Emperor, and the Qiyun Emperor, and both the Southern Emperor and the Northern Emperor had hurt her deeply, and with Liyue's pride, she would not look back. And Emperor Qiyun is her elder brother, so who else can compete with him? Such a peerless beauty, even if there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, what can she do?

Ning Qianyi smiled and asked her, 'Liyue? The eyes of the three emperors converged on her face at the same time, waiting for her reaction.

Time passed little by little, and the night outside the window was thick and unusually silent, while the dim candles in the room were bright and dark. Manyao just sat quietly, watching the three emperors have their own thoughts, and there is a hidden machine in the conversation, but she doesn't say a word, as if she is an unrelated person, staying out of the matter. Her heart, as early as the moment she saw the familiar figure outside the window, didn't know what heart had drifted away

Ning Qianyi saw that she didn't speak, and suddenly felt angry that they were fighting like no one else, and they didn't take Liyue's feelings into account at all! But he couldn't think for a moment, what else could he say in such a situation?

Zong Zheng Wuqiao and Emperor Qiyun also stopped talking, as if they were thinking about their own thoughts. It's no use crying over spilt milk.? It's no use crying over spilt milk.! Is it him, or is it him? Some people can't get it back, but some people can't even collect it!

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird, and there was an incomparable embarrassment.

Ning Qianyi unintentionally turned his head and saw the inn that was still kneeling at the door, stiffened his body and didn't even dare to gasp, coughed, and hurriedly said: It's late today, it's inconvenient to hurry, just rest here. I will leave for the city early tomorrow morning, I don't know what Emperor Qiyun and the Northern Emperor will do? "Both of them signaled that it was okay, and Ning Qianyi instructed: 'Clean up a few upper rooms, so that you can receive distinguished guests.'" The shopkeeper hurriedly responded and retreated to arrange accommodation.

After this night, this simple and old inn became famous, and in the following decades, all travelers passing through Yancheng would come to stay here for a night, and see the three emperors who were so powerful in those days rushed to the place where the woman lived overnight, and no one knew that on this night, in fact, there was an emperor who would remain in the middle of the jungle behind this house. And that woman is also remembered by future generations, not only because of her blushing face and the heart of the emperors of several countries, but also because of her wisdom, her courage, and her unparalleled contribution to the future peace of the world.

Early in the morning of the second day, shortly after the first dawn.

There was a cacophony outside the inn, and a chaotic stream of footsteps made up the stairs to find the guest where they were. The person who was the middle-aged man who went to the Kingdom of Heaven with Ning Qianyi back then, this person's surname was Wu, and he was the head of the guards of the Dust Wind King's Palace. Ning Qianyi and the three of them had already gossiped, and after Li Wu entered the room and saluted everyone, he said, "Your Majesty, the imperial chariot has arrived. ”

Ning Qianyi said: "Okay." Since Emperor Qiyun and the Northern Emperor have come to my Dusty Wind Country, why don't you go to the royal city with me and wait for the period of choosing a horse, how about it? ,

Emperor Qiyun and Zong Zheng both smiled and nodded, "In this way, I have to disturb the King of Cangzhong for a while."

Ning Qianyi smiled briskly: "You two don't have to be polite. Please! ”

Man Yao walked out of the inn with the three of them, only to see a long line neatly lined up on the remote road, and the honor guard that stretched for five miles stretched out into sight. The two-seater chariot has a dragon and a phoenix, exquisite and luxurious. Man Yao was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be such a big show. The individual guests living in the inn and the innkeeper knelt on both sides of the door, peeking at the luxurious richness from time to time, and marveled in their hearts, after the king ascended the throne, the four concubines were not so grand.

"Liyue, the inn is shabby, you must not be able to rest well if you are weak, get in the car and rest." Ning Qianyi said that he would personally help Man Yao into the chariot, and he could take Emperor Qiyun and the Northern Emperor to take another dragon chariot.

The man ordered the man to lower the heavy curtain and look around. There was a warmth in her heart, Ning Qianyi was really careful and knew that she didn't want to face those two people. This is an independent and quiet space, with a delicate soft couch and a thick soft quilt in the chariot, which must be very comfortable to lie on. After tossing all night, she was already exhausted because she felt even more weak in the face of several men who came to meet the road. She lay down slowly, and the mighty procession began to move slowly, the chariot walking very steadily. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep, and in her sleep, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes looking at her, but that look made her heart ache.

Four days later, the Dust Wind Country, the royal palace.

Ning Qianyi set up a banquet to wash the dust for the three of them, and the ministers were present, Ning Qianyi specially arranged for Concubine Cen and Concubine Cen to sit on her side in Manyao, wanting to accompany her, but she didn't know that she was in trouble because of this.

The minister of the Dust Wind Country was worried because Man Yao was once the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty, and more people believed the rumors and despised her, but it was only because of the face of the king and Emperor Qiyun. The words are not half revealed, but the temperament of the men in the Dust Wind Country is mostly bold and straightforward, even if they don't say it, it can be seen from the expressions on their faces and the eyes that occasionally come over.

Manyao didn't seem to be aware of it, just sat quietly in his seat, listening to the three emperors talking.

Concubine Cen ordered someone to pour a bowl of wine, held it up in front of Manyao, and said with a smile: , Princess Rongle seems to be a few years older than me, then I will call the princess my sister, it sounds kinder this way, princess, don't mind, right? I met again, I toasted my sister with a glass of water and wine, and chatted with my heart. , as she spoke, his eyes swept her white hair without hesitation. What kind of thoughts did she have, she didn't have to think about it to know, she sneered in her heart, this time, she was already ready in her heart, and wanted to say that she was full of white hair before she was old? She glanced at the wine bowl in Concubine Cen's hand, and said with a faint smile: "Concubine A's status is noble, this heart is really too heavy, but Rong Le's body is weak and it is inconvenient to drink, so he has disappointed his mother's kindness." , if you want her to drink this wine, it depends on what kind of pound you are.

Concubine Cha's face stiffened, the shame and indignation in her eyes flashed, her eyes rolled, and she giggled, and her voice was like a silver bell, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. I only heard her smile and said: "The princess said this from time to time, I am just a concubine, where can I be called noble." If you want to say that this is noble, I can't compare to you, sister, this time I came to the Dust Wind Country as a guest, Emperor Qiyun and the Northern Emperor personally sent each other, even our king treated my sister with courtesy, I don't dare to compare with my sister. Perhaps, one day, I will have to obey you," he said, glancing at Ning Qianyi with a hint of resentment.

The ministers were all stunned, and this concubine was also bold, and she mocked Princess Rongle in her words and had a complicated relationship with the emperors of all countries? And it also dragged it to Ning Qianyi! Emperor Qiyun's smile did not decrease by half, the Northern Emperor's eyes were deep and complicated, and their king not only did not mean to deny it, but there was still a trace of yearning and expectation in his eyes, and his face couldn't help but change slightly. The customs of their country have never been against the second marriage of women, but this woman has been married to two emperors, and was expelled in the name of the ** harem, and her reputation is notorious.

A military general finally couldn't hold it anymore and took it off. asked: 'What Concubine Quan Niangniang said is not true, the only one in the Dust Wind Country can be in charge of the harem is the queen, how can this crown be crowned at will!' ”

Emperor Qiyun lifted his eyelids quietly, "Listen to what this lord means... Is my royal sister not qualified?

The man was shocked, and secretly regretted that he was in a hurry, and he forgot that there was also an Emperor Qiyun here. He has always been blunt, but now he doesn't know how to take it. Finish. Qiyun Kingdom is currently the most powerful country among all the nations, and it must not be offended. The ministers were speechless for a while, and Ning Qianyi's eyes were stupid, but he only looked at Manyao and didn't speak.

Concubine Han said with a dignified smile: "Emperor Qiyun, you have misunderstood, I think what Lord Sun means is that only the identity of a princess is worthy of the position of our queen of the dust wind." But," she paused, as if she was sorry and distressed, and said: "The world knows that the princess used to be close to the Northern Emperor, even if we all hope that the princess can become our queen, but the Northern Emperor will definitely not agree, and our king has always acted in a fair and upright manner, how can he do something to take away his wife." ,

"Yes, yes", the ministers echoed with a smile, "Concubine Han said yes. They couldn't help but sigh secretly, they were still very powerful!

Unconsciously, he glanced at the woman from the corner of his eye, compared to Concubine Cang, this concubine is much smarter.

Ning Qianyi's complexion changed, and his thick eyebrows slowly tightened. And Zong Zheng Wuzhi picked up a bowl of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then slammed the wine bowl on the table, the sharp light in his eyes pierced the gentle appearance, and went straight to the bottom of everyone's hearts. And everyone who swept by such a gaze couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "Concubine Han Niangniang is right, my queen, if anyone wants to take it, you have to ask me if the army and people of the Kingdom of Heaven will agree!" , his smile was deep and unfathomable, and every word was said extremely heavily, and every word was like a heavy bell.

Everyone was shocked, he said the Kingdom of Heaven, not the Northern Dynasty. The character of the Southern Emperor is known to the whole world, even if it is a woman who is expelled by him, as long as she is not deprived of the title, she will be the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty according to the day. And the Kingdom of Heaven was divided into the Northern and Southern Dynasties because of this woman, if this woman became the queen of their Dusty Wind Kingdom, if the Northern and Southern Dynasties joined forces, it would be even more terrifying than a Qiyun Kingdom!

Ning Qianyi's face became ugly, here, after all, is his territory, how can there be a reason for the people who come here to threaten him?

The atmosphere in the banquet suddenly stiffened. Seeing that a wind and dust washing banquet was about to be smashed, Man Yao suddenly stood up and said apologetically: "Rong Le is a little unwell, please allow me to retire first." Where it is rude, I hope you Haihan. Her brow furrowed, her face pale, one hand on her abdomen, her body as if she could no longer stand upright. It is not an excuse to say that she is unwell, but it was not very serious before, and she has endured it, but the cramping pain in her lower abdomen suddenly became intense, and when the atmosphere was tense, she got up at the right time to say goodbye.

"Rong Le, are you uncomfortable there?"

"Liyue, is the wound painful?"

Zong Zheng Wuqiao and Ning Qianyi stood up at the same time and asked nervously. Concubine Cen pursed her lips to express her dissatisfaction, but Concubine Han's eyes were gloomy, but she couldn't see waves on her face.

Man Yao shook his head slightly, and in just a moment, his forehead was already sweating, Emperor Qiyun got up to help her, frowned, and said: Imperial sister, I will accompany you back to the house, and let the imperial doctor take a look at it for you. ,

Man Xiao didn't make a sound, only glanced at Ning Qianyi lightly, and Ning Qianyi hurriedly instructed the palace maid: "Go and ask the imperial doctor, go quickly!"

Phoenix Nirvana, the soul of women
