Chapter One Hundred and One
The person who came was wearing a dark red coat, and a bright yellow dragon robe was faintly exposed at the thin belt around the neck. He always looks clear and elegant, his face is warm, and his voice is kind, who is this person who is not Emperor Qiyun?
He looked at the face of the woman in the door with a pair of burning eyes, and the light in his eyes loomed, with complicated thoughts and expectations, but when his eyes touched the woman's white head, the brilliance under the eyes dimmed, and a touch of almost invisible complex emotions swept over his clear face, and disappeared in an instant. He smiled slightly: "Imperial sister, don't you welcome the imperial brother?" ”
Manyao's five fingers clasped the door frame, and his fingertips were blue and white. How could it be him? She was in the territory of the Dust Wind Country, and the emperor of the Qiyun Kingdom would come one step faster and earlier than Ning Qianyi, the king of Cangzhong, which was beyond her expectations. Every time she faced him, she always felt her hair stand on end, and the tension and fear that seeped out of her bones enveloped her firmly. Her gaze swept over him, glancing behind him to the stairs. There was Xiao Xunzi standing, and there were a few people scattered downstairs. She frowned, tried her best to suppress the discomfort in her heart, blocked the door, and said lightly: "It turned out that Emperor Qiyun was here!" It's the middle of the night, I don't know what's going on? ”
Emperor Qiyun's face moved slightly, hearing her say so, his eyes darkened slightly, and instantly returned to the same as before, Qinghe smiled: "I haven't seen you for a year, why is the imperial sister so unfamiliar?" This year, the royal brother has always been very concerned about you, and wants to go to the Southern Dynasty to visit the imperial sister, but the state affairs are entangled and the imperial sister can't leave, are you blaming the imperial brother? ”
His tone was earnest, his expression was sincere, and every sentence was so natural, if it was in the past, she would have believed it, but now, this sentence of Du Nian sounded so ironic to her. After that incident a year ago, it's ridiculous that this man can still call himself a brother so calmly and calmly! Manyao had no intention of dealing with him, so he said indifferently: "It's late at night, I want to rest, Emperor Qiyun please take care of yourself." ”
"Imperial Sister!" She was about to close the door when he reached out and stopped her. A touch of pain and guilt flashed in Emperor Qiyun's eyes, and it was quickly hidden, "I know that the imperial sister is still blaming me, and that incident is indeed that I am sorry for the imperial sister, and it is natural for the imperial sister to be angry with me." ”
Is it just blame? He really didn't dare to go deeper! Her face was mocking, and she sneered in her heart, it was not blame, nor was it anger, but hate, real hatred!
Emperor Qiyun continued: "Brother Huang is here to take you back to the palace. I heard that you were injured...... But does it matter? I've brought the Imperial Doctor to help you take a look......
"Not necessarily. My injuries are all right. She coldly refused, go with him, unless she was crazy! Looking at his worried expression, she didn't feel warm at all, but felt that there was a cold wind everywhere here.
Emperor Qiyun looked very uneasy, "But the imperial brother heard that the imperial sister was seriously injured, so let the imperial doctor take a look at the Liancai You can rest assured, you are so haggard, and you have lost a lot of weight than a year ago." His eyes were full of pity, and as he spoke, he raised his hand to caress her face, and his expression was extremely gentle.
Man Yao frowned, how could he let him touch it? She tilted her head away from his hand, and her hand holding the door frame unconsciously loosened some force. Emperor Qiyun's face remained unchanged, his hand suddenly changed direction, and he shook it directly towards her hand, she quickly withdrew her hand behind her back, and Emperor Qiyun's action became to push the door, and he entered the house so easily.
Man Yao stood in the doorway, staring at him obliquely, and seeing his movements naturally unbuckled his cloak, as casually as if this was his dormitory.
Emperor Qiyun sat down on the side of the bed, looked at this room, frowned, and sighed: "This place is so simple, I have wronged the imperial sister!" Tomorrow morning, we will leave for home. Let's get together for one night tonight, Imperial Sister, you come and lie down, and let the Imperial Doctor help you take a look, Xiao Xunzi"
Xiao Xunzi hurriedly answered and went downstairs to call the imperial doctor to come up.
Man Yao was still standing in the doorway, motionless.
Emperor Qiyun smiled and ordered: "Xiao Xunzi, the imperial sister is unwell, you help her over." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Princess, please, slow down. "Son, then let it be given to you." If you ask her about this world, the person she hates the most, it must be Emperor Qiyun! By the side of this terrible man, she didn't want to stay for a moment.
Seeing her pick up her sword and turn around and leave, Xiao Xun knelt at the door to block her way, and pleaded: "Princess, please stay!" The emperor misses the princess and often has trouble sleeping, and when he heard that the princess had an accident, the emperor immediately put down state affairs and greeted the princess in person thousands of miles away, asking the princess not to fight with the emperor. ”
Restless sleeping? He should have been restless, and he killed all his brothers in order to sit on the throne, and now he didn't let go of her, the last relative. She turned her head to look at the man, and at this time, Emperor Qiyun's face changed abruptly, his brows were furrowed, he covered his mouth, and coughed a few times, his face turned red from the severe cough, and his hand became whiter like a ghost. Every time at this time, she would have an illusion, as if this person would not live long, but he had been living well, and he was no different from a normal person when he was not sick. She would no longer be as concerned as she used to be when she saw him coughing.
"Get out of the way." She coldly ordered Xiao Xunzi. Xiao Xunzi lowered her head and did not move, her eyes sank, and she kicked him away unceremoniously, using thirty percent of her internal force. Xiao Xunzi didn't expect her to be kicked out of the way. Touching his chest, he looked up in astonishment, looking at this princess, who had always been gentle and indifferent, was now so indifferent.
Emperor Qiyun was also stunned, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Man Yao sneered, and now, they thought she would still be kind to them? Snorted coldly, and didn't turn his head back downstairs. found the inn and said, "Please give me another room." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the cold-faced guard next to him, and said with a stiff smile: "I'm sorry, this girl, we don't have any vacant rooms here." ”
With a blank look, he swept over the rooms on the right side of the second floor, and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, those rooms seem to be empty." ”
The shopkeeper's face became more and more stiff, "Those rooms have been contracted by these guest officers for two hundred taels of silver each." If you must stay, then ...... I'll spare you a room for five hundred denarii......
Manyao's face changed slightly, knowing that this person didn't even have a burden when he saw her, and deliberately used the silver to talk about things to make her retreat. She didn't wait for him to finish, picked up the sword in her hand and slammed it on the counter, and asked in a warning voice, "Look at this sword, it's worth five hundred taels?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned by her momentum, and hurriedly took a few steps back, his face was terrified, and he said in a mournful voice: "Guest, guest officer, you are a person with status!" I'm doing business, relying on these rooms to support my family, and I finally met a God of Wealth, and I don't have a reason to push money out, right? You should be considerate and considerate of the hardships of our little people, I am here to thank you for my eighty-year-old mother and one-and-a-half-year-old grandson! As he spoke, he bent over, and he looked really grateful.
Manyao clenched the sword in her hand, she was extremely depressed but had nowhere to do it, the person she hated was Emperor Qiyun, she couldn't make trouble with a small innkeeper because of that hateful man's deliberate actions, right? However, this inn is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are no people within a radius of five miles, so where is she going to stay in the middle of the night? What's more, after changing places, she has to find a way to leak her whereabouts without a trace, for fear that if she is not careful, she may lose everything.
She was hesitating, Emperor Qiyun walked downstairs in a dark red coat, looking at her, he smiled gently like nothing, and that smile made her very sick. She immediately decided that she would rather sleep in the wilderness in a carriage than share a room with the devil. Without waiting for Emperor Qiyun to get closer, she turned around and went to the backyard, and after looking around, she couldn't find the seemingly simple carriage she came in. This man's kung fu is really enough!
Emperor Qiyun stood at the door of the backyard, no matter what she said or did, he always smiled like that, and it never changed. looked at her quietly, until she turned her head and stared at him with a hidden anger and an ice blade, he stepped forward and smiled gently, and said in a pampering and tolerant tone of his brother: "Since the imperial sister doesn't like it here, then we will go back to the palace overnight." My carriage is right outside the door, and we'll go now. ”
He was so calm and determined, as if everything was under control. She frowned, took a few steps back, put the horizontal sword in front of her chest, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Do you think that until now, I will still obey your arrangement?" ”
Emperor Qiyun's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, the corners of his mouth were still smiling, and his gaze at her gradually became complex and deep, she stared at his eyes tightly, but she couldn't see through his thoughts. I really don't understand, why can a person so quietly drive the person he likes into a corner?
Zhou's atmosphere became solemn, and a deliberately hidden evil aura was forced from the periphery of the backyard courtyard wall, and she was about to draw her sword out of the sheath, when suddenly, a deep and deep voice came from the inn lobby: "Emperor Qiyun is worthy of being the best brother who loves Rong Le the most in rumors, and he comes faster than others!" “
Hearing the voice, her body shook, and the hand holding the sword unconsciously loosened a lot.
As the voice fell, several people appeared at the door of the backyard, a man dressed in a dark cyan floor-length brocade robe, with a green dragon secretly embroidered on the robe, and his five claws were open, and his momentum was mighty. His handsome face took a deep look at the woman in the courtyard with the tiredness of running around for days, and there seemed to be more happiness and comfort in those tiredness. Then, he looked directly at Emperor Qiyun, his gaze was deep, and he was secretly fierce. This person got the news of her whereabouts, and rushed to the Northern Emperor Zongzheng from Zixiang Pass overnight.
And the evil aura outside the courtyard wall was completely eliminated at this time.
Man Yao pulled out his three-inch sword and closed it again, hanging his hand with an expressionless face. Her heart was not as calm as it seemed, she waited for more than ten days, not waiting for the person she was waiting for, but waiting for the two emperors she didn't want to see the most. Could it be that she made a mistake in her estimation?
Emperor Qiyun wasn't much surprised, but his heart sank slightly. The expression on his face remained unchanged at all, and he was only aware of the faint ridicule in Zongzheng's unprepared words, he turned his head, his smile was hidden sharp, and his tone was clear, and said: "I only have this one sister, of course I am very nervous." The Northern Emperor is not bad, but I am here...... is to welcome the emperor's sister back to China, so why is the Northern Emperor here? ”
Zong Zheng raised his eyebrows and walked into the courtyard, his face was gentle but not majestic, "It seems that Emperor Qiyun's memory is not very good, Rong Le is the wife of the Ming Media, I came here, naturally to take Rong Le back and hold a post-sealing ceremony." ”
Emperor Qiyun turned around, faced the man who also had the identity and momentum of the emperor, and said with a smile: "I also remember that a year ago, the Northern Emperor abandoned his wife as a chess piece, and the imperial sister was already the imperial concubine of the Northern Emperor's younger brother Southern Emperor, although now, the imperial sister was expelled from the Southern Dynasty by the Southern Emperor, but the Southern Emperor did not seem to have taken away her title as the imperial concubine, so why did she become the queen of the Northern Dynasty?" ”
There seemed to be two sharp swords about to be unsheathed from the eyes of Zongzheng Wuji, flashing with a cold light under the cold moonlight. A year ago, it was his regret that he failed to kill Emperor Qiyun! Zong Zheng's voice was as loud as a sinking bell, and his words were extremely heavy, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a bone-eating coldness in his gentle and polite manners. "All of this is thanks to Emperor Qiyun! If there was no Emperor Qiyun, how could I be today? Even if Emperor Qiyun doesn't remind me, I will remember it very clearly! ”
Emperor Qiyun looked back, his pupils had a faint ice gray, and he reflected back the eyes that Zong Zheng had handed over untouched, and then understated it, smiled and said slowly, "With a gesture, the Northern Emperor doesn't have to be so polite." ”
Both of them had a smile on their lips, their faces were gentle, but the breath around them was condensed minute by minute.
The cold moonlight shone on the small thatched hut in the backyard, and a black horse tied to it seemed to be alarmed by the tense momentum, wagging its tail restlessly, as if trying to escape from the place.
Man Yao has no intention of spending time here, listening to their ridiculous conversation. They all said they came to pick her up, but did they ask her if she wanted to go with them? She didn't look at the two of them, and was about to leave.
Zong Zheng grabbed her without a plan, and she couldn't even open her mouth and frowned in displeasure, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the deep emotion in her eyes, and she faded away from forbearance, as if she was going to burn people's souls, and she turned her face away unnaturally.
Emperor Qiyun's face sank almost invisibly, and his eyes turned back to the same as before.
Zong Zheng asked without a plan: "Rong Le, your injured ...... is better?" The momentum dissipated, only the distress and worry of the sting.
Man Yao broke away from his hand and glanced at him again, this glance, cold and detached, opened the distance between the two of them so far away that it was a world away. She didn't answer, and walked away. If she could, she wouldn't want to see either of them!
The corners of Emperor Qiyun's lips lifted slightly, and he looked at Zong Zheng Wuchou with sympathetic eyes behind her, but Zong Zheng Wuchou turned around, and the smile on his face was no longer visible, "Emperor Qiyun doesn't have to look at me with this kind of vision, I, but I feel that Emperor Qiyun ...... You are a hundred times more pitiful than me. "A man's keen instincts, sometimes just because of a momentary change in breath, or a change of eyes, or a hesitation in a movement, can detect many obscure things, and thus confirm them.
Emperor Qiyun's elegant shell was cracked, and his complexion was gloomy like never before. In the dilapidated backyard, a strong murderous aura rose in the air, and there was a sharp cold light looming around the courtyard wall. Zong Zheng had no face and no waves, and the guards behind him pressed the hilt of the sword together, with a simple gesture, the sword was unsheathed, and blood was splashed in all directions. However, after a long time, neither of the two emperors moved, and they stood quietly in place, silently confronting each other for a long time.
has never fought uncertain battles, openly and secretly, and no one is sure how many people the other party has brought? Is it impossible to estimate the odds of winning? What's more, they are all newcomers to this place, and there is no way to know whether there are only two of them.
The most important thing is that this is in the territory of the dust and wind, and the period of horse selection is approaching, so you have to save some face for the king of Cangzhong.
The night was boundless and silent, and the cool breeze of early spring blew through the fine dust in the air, fluttering above this remote and simple inn. The waves are surging, and the sword light is in the sheath. Who would have thought that such a small inn, because of a woman's stay, gathered at the same time the top people in this big 6 who can change the world.
When he came to the lobby, the people brought by Emperor Qiyun and some of the people brought by the Northern Emperor were lined up on both sides, each vigilantly staring at each other's every move, even if they were gasping for breath, they had to be cautious. Man Yao has no doubt that if someone can't help but sneeze at this time, it will lead to war.
The shopkeeper he was looking for was nested in a small corner behind the refusal, looking here and there in trepidation, for fear that he would accidentally anger these people and cause the bones to be gone.
After thinking about it, Manyao decided to go upstairs, went back to her room, locked the door, and exhaled. After this toss, I feel even more tired.
Although the arrival of Bo Chip was not what she expected, at least it relieved her sleep. She didn't have to face that terrible man, her heart was a lot more settled, but she still had to be careful and not take it lightly She slowly walked to the bed, feeling that the man's breath left in this room could not be dispersed, she frowned, and went to open the window, outside the window was a deep forest, dark and dark, and the air was extremely fresh. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, when suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and an unusually familiar breath came to her face, straight to her heart. She was stunned and opened her eyes suddenly. Her face turned pale in the moonlight, and a deep sadness appeared in her eyes. She clung to a window, her nails digging into the wood of the pane, her eager gaze searching back and forth in the darkness. It was as if I had suddenly been infused with infinite strength, and my heart was stirred, and all the tiredness and sadness of these days were swept away.
Her chest rose and fell violently, and she asked in her heart: Is it him?
Is he coming?
Probed out, only slightly, and immediately retreated again. She turned her hand and grabbed her chest, no, how could she hope it was him? Her current identity is the exiled concubine, and he is the emperor who hates and dislikes her because of her betrayal!
Reason, returning after the excitement, she quickly reined in her mind and forced herself to prepare to close the window.
At this moment, two ghostly figures suddenly passed overhead, flying into the dense forest from above the eaves, silently. If it were someone else, they would think that she was dazzled, but she was extremely stained, it was real.
Xuanyi ink, half of the red devil mask. Her safety is always ranked before everything.
She stood quietly at the window, looking somewhere in the darkness, her eyes not turning.
The sky is cloudy, and the moon is unknown.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck, as if it was about to split the sky in two. The night lit up instantly, like day, and in the dense forest a few feet away, a black figure looked so lonely and gloomy in the ancient forest.
"Knock knock knock ......" Outside the door, someone knocked on the door again, and this time the knock was urgent and heavy.
She was so startled that she suddenly came back to her senses and heard the chaotic footsteps outside the door. Suddenly confused, vigilant, and inexplicably irritable. frowned tightly, and said in his heart: Who is it this time? She turned her head and stared at the door, neither making a sound, nor opening the door, whether it was Emperor Qiyun or Fu Chip, she didn't plan to let them into the house.
After a while, the people outside the door seemed to be a little anxious when they saw that there was no movement inside, and shouted, "Liyue, have you slept?" ”
