Chapter 117: Horror on the Barren Mountain
"Hmph, sister, now that I'm leaving, who else do you have at hand? Li Jinzhong, you won't kill it? You won't take revenge on your mother's big revenge? Sakura pursed her lips disdainfully and asked coldly.
"You don't have to worry about any of this. I confess, it was my sister who planted the seeds of hatred in your heart all these years. Before you lose your heart and take revenge in this way, I must stop you from making an irreparable mistake. Fleur replied without flinching.
"Sister, what do you think I'm going to do?" Sakura's eyes widened in surprise, "Did you kill the emperor?" No, you're thinking wrong! I want to be like Niangniang, and one day, the emperor will bow down to me, and I will obey my orders. Only in this way can I fully understand the hatred in my heart. I will let him live and suffer from my torments, not physically, but spiritually, and let him be my slaves, driven by me. ”
Fleur listened to Sakura's unbelievable words come out of her mouth calmly, and she had a premonition that she was on the verge of collapse. In despair and helplessness, she had no choice but to follow Sakura'er's words and ask, "You, what are you going to do?" ”
"What else can I do? According to the emperor's intention, he wants to make me a talented person, but I don't, I want to stick firmly to the big tree of Dugu Wanrong, so that I can climb her thick trunk and climb up to the clouds step by step, until the emperor is also trampled under my feet. Sakura's eyes lit up with grits, completely immersed in her own imagination.
However, she quickly jumped out of her imagination and reassured Fleur in turn: "Sister, don't worry." Before I start my plan, I'll help you get rid of that old gelding dog. ”
At this point, Fleur realizes that it is impossible to persuade Sakura to turn back on her own strength. Since Sakura has her own plans, and this plan seems to her to be tantamount to a moth to a fire and kill herself, she has to change her original plan to become a monk and go into seclusion, and get as close as possible to Sakura so that she can be rescued in a critical moment.
What happened later was both expected by Fleur and unexpected in detail.
The emperor ordered Wu Bi to hire a killer to assassinate Li Jinzhong, which was expected by Furong, but she mistakenly recognized Na Yu as a killer sent by Wu Bi. When Na Yu escaped from the prison cell and stepped around the Jin Mansion the next morning, Furong sat in a small teahouse on the side of the street and watched Na Yu walk back and forth twice around the wall of the Li Fang where the Jin State Mansion was located, until she had chosen a place to climb over the wall and leave in a hurry. She was afraid that Na Yu would be difficult to succeed alone, so she sent a letter to Ying'er in advance, asking her to get ready, and she cooperated with Na Yu to assassinate Li Jinzhong that night.
However, when Ying'er and Na Yu joined hands to kill all the guards in the palace and forced Li Jinzhong to swallow the sword and commit suicide, the real killer hired by the emperor only appeared at this time, easily cut off Li Jinzhong's head, took Lai Xing'er away, and left only a seriously injured Na Yu to Sakura.
If it weren't for the fact that Nayu was the biological sister of Zhang Liang's concubine Nazhu, Furong would have refused to take her in for her who was seriously injured.
However, from taking Nayu in and then thinking of treating her injuries, to following Nayu all the way to the rooftop on Wangwu Mountain to hide, Fleur still felt a little complacent about her improvisation.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a change in Sakura that she couldn't stop, according to her original idea, she wanted to find a Taoist temple in the south of the Yangtze River with beautiful mountains and rivers to live and practice for a long time, as her final destination. But now that the situation has changed, she has to find another place to stay temporarily near Chang'an, and the Wangwu Mountain Spirit Capital Temple naturally entered the scope of her consideration. Here is four or five hundred miles away from Chang'an, once something happens to Ying'er in Beijing, she only needs to prepare a fast horse, and she can rush back to Chang'an for rescue in one day and one night. What's more, the Lingdu Temple was proposed and presided over by Princess Yuzhen, the emperor's aunt and grandmother, and has a royal background that is difficult for ordinary Taoist temples to achieve.
Although the Lingdu view is good, there is also a place that makes Furong feel at ease. Although Princess Yuzhen is the biological son of the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family and has a close relationship with the Zhang family, she is tranquil by nature and does not want to get involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong in the dispute between Zhang and Yang. Therefore, after Queen Zhang, the master of Furong, entered the middle palace, Princess Yuzhen had no contact with the Zhang family, and it has been five or six years since she calculated carefully. In the meantime, even if Princess Yuzhen passed away, Queen Zhang, as her niece, did not go to Lingduguan to give her a funeral, and the protégés and descendants of the two families usually interacted less.
In this situation, Fleur had to act cautiously. She first sent someone to Wangwu Mountain to find Jing Xuzi, the current presiding officer of Lingdu Temple, and explained to him straight to the point that Furong was going to Lingdu Temple to become a monk and practice, so as to test Jing Xuzi's attitude towards herself. Ten days later, as soon as Nayu's back injury was alleviated and he was able to walk on his own, he used the excuse of sending Nayu to Lingdu Guan to treat and recuperate from his injuries, and used Nayu as a pathfinder stone for himself, and first threw it to Jingxuzi. At the same time, she herself quietly left Chang'an, followed Nayu all the way to Wangwu Mountain, chose the inaccessible rooftop as a place to stay, and secretly observed the movements in the Lingdu Temple. She had to make sure that Jingxuzi would not betray Nayu to the local government before she officially entered the view.
Fleur's plan was not unscrupulous and prudent, but she ignored a factor that could be fatal to her. In Wangwu Mountain, since the place she chose to settle is the inaccessible peak rooftop, then there are naturally fierce beasts and poisonous snakes infested among the lofty mountains and mountains, in order to feed their own belly, these fierce beasts and poisonous snakes can no matter whether you are male or female, vulgar or moral, as long as they are targeted, they can only be used as their delicious meal.
On the first night when Fleur came to the rooftop, the sound of wolves howling and tiger roars was heard in her ears from time to time, and she was terrified and her soul was not possessed, and she regretted that when she was looking for a master of the world to teach her the skills of martial arts, she couldn't think of learning a few hands, if that was the case, even if a beast broke onto the rooftop, she could still wrestle with it for a while, at least she could strengthen her courage, so that she would not be scared to sleep at night when she heard the cry of the beast in the mountains.
