Chapter 9: Old Things in the Wasteland
Bai Lie looked at Xuan Bu, his eyes were very complicated, and he said after a long time: "Prince Cheng, when Princess Kite gave you the Muyun Sword, we all thought she was crazy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although we have always been unconvinced that you should be the leader, we still respect Princess Kite's original choice. ”
"But in today's situation, you're in danger. You are in the light, they are in the dark, the forces behind this time are complicated, and judging from the information I have, it shouldn't be this year, and they are going to do it. Bai Lie stared at his old friend.
Thirteen years ago, on the grassland of Huangzhou, the head of Kunlun Ruin instigated the frost wolf tribe to attack Jingdu. At that time, the princess of the Rouran Kingdom was the big leader of the Muyun Regiment, and she raised her arms and shouted. The Muyun warriors of the world all carried the swords in their hands and rode war horses thousands of miles to the remote wasteland to resist the invasion of the Frost Wolf Tribe.
Princess Kite is the greatest princess in the history of the Rouran Kingdom, although she died at a very young age. When she was young, she once rescued a prisoner who had escaped to Wasteland after being sentenced to death by the Jin Kingdom from the hands of a Rouran noble.
This prisoner later became Princess Kite's teacher, and it was this prisoner who passed on the Muyun Sword, which symbolized the holy weapon of the Muyun Regiment, to Princess Kite. And the flying pigeon passed a message to the Muyun group warriors who could still be contacted within the four seas, informing him that he passed the position of the big leader to the kite princess of the barbarian Rouran tribe along with the Muyun sword and iron seal.
The letter is also stamped with the unique seal of each Muyun warrior - the iron seal of Muyun. It was a seal that could only be activated with the blood of its master, and it was used to pass on the letters and identify the Muyun warriors in the four seas. It is said that it was made by the craftsmen of the You nationality at the time of the feudal dynasty, and there were less than 1,000 pieces in total. They were distributed to the members of the Muyun group at that time, and the text on each seal was different, for example, the inscription engraved on the leader's seal was 'Muyun Tianxia'. These seals have been circulated around the world for thousands of years along with blood or mentorship.
And Xuanbu in front of him, who was still the general of the Jin Dynasty at that time, supervised the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou. Ordered to support the ally Rouran, he led 50,000 iron cavalry from Yuzhou to Jingdu day and night. And in one fell swoop, he defeated the frost wolf cavalry of the Frost Wolf Country under the Mirror Capital.
In that tragic war, Bai Lie lost countless comrades-in-arms. And the frost wolf cavalry that the Frost Wolf Country relied on to run rampant across the grassland was also wiped out, and Xuanbu even beheaded the Kunlun Ruins in the final battle under the city.
To this day, Bai Lie does not dare to recall that tragic war. Kunlunxu, the god-like man, stood under the city of Jingdu, and between a breath and a chant, his comrades-in-arms fell in pieces like wheat straw harvested in autumn.
At this time, Xuanbu's thoughts were also pulled to the distant mirror capital thirteen years ago. Princess Kite's quiet and delicate face, clear and transparent eyes. The year he spent in the wasteland was the best year of his life. They stood side by side on the walls of the mirror capital and watched the sunset, and she cheered him on as he killed the enemy on the battlefield. When he came back triumphantly, she helped him wash away the dust of the battlefield.
And they also have the crystallization of love. But happiness comes and goes quickly. Mu Yuntuan's prophecy book "Nebula Scroll" says that the meteorite enters the palace, and the child is ...... As soon as he was born, Princess Kite died in childbirth, which seems to confirm the ancient prophecy.
No! How could a weak child like Jing'er be the chosen one in the prophecy! Jing'er can only live this life by her own side, like the children of other families, rich and comfortable. He will marry the princess of Zeeland in Dongyi, and he will have many, many children. Maybe he won't be able to be emperor in the future, so what? As long as Jing'er can live happily, it is Xuanbu's greatest wish. Even if the kite spring is knowledgeable, he will never blame himself.
"Brother Bai, I thank you for coming all the way to report this time. But whatever they are trying to do behind it, trust me to solve it. Xuan Bu calmed down his memories.
"Oh, looks like you're ready to kick me away?" Bai Lie raised his eyebrows, "Of course I will go, but I will take that child with me!" ”
Xuan Bu's face was as ugly as being pricked by a needle, "Brother Bai, Jing'er is my son, won't I take good care of him here?" Why do you want to be strong, and snatch love with a sword! ”
"Xuan Jing is not only your son, he is also the son of Princess Kite, and he is also the chosen son of Mu Yuntuan. Princess Kite not only entrusted that child to you, but also entrusted him to us! Bai Lie said coldly, "No one can stop the turn of fate, since God has chosen him, then he can only complete his mission!" ”
"This time I specially brought the Muyun sword, you know, this sword only chooses approved people! If your son is able to pull out the Muyun Sword, he must come with me! ”
"Also, in your current situation, you can't protect your son at all. As I said, those people should be doing it soon, and I can't let the hope of the Muyun Regiments be in such a dangerous situation. If you really love your son, you should give him to me! Bai Lie was not moved by Xuanbu's attitude in the slightest.
Bai Lie couldn't figure out why this man who was able to swing his sword and slash gods under the Mirror Capital City back then became so hesitant and cowardly now. And is it right or wrong for Princess Kite to hand over the future of Muyuntuan to such a man before she died?
Xuan Bu was silent for a long time, and suddenly stood up: "Brother Bai, there are still ten days, and it will be Jing'er's twelfth birthday." I'll tell him when that day is over, and he'll make the choice when the time comes......"
Bai Lie looked at Xuanbu and showed a hint of a smile, "Okay, big leader, I'll come again." This sword is left to you, and I think it is most appropriate for you to hand it over to Xuanjing. With that, he turned and walked out of the house, and between the two ups and downs, he disappeared into the darkness.
Xuan Jing still got up early in the morning, and after separating from his father last night, he would go to sleep in Hongwenyuan. But at night he had a very strange dream.
In the dream, he held a flaming sword and stood in a desolate land, the sky a burning red color. There was no father, no mother, no friends, and only countless strangers in black cloaks in front of him. They covered their faces with the hood of their cloaks, so that Xuan Jing couldn't press his face.
The dream was so incredible, yet so clear. Even until this morning, Xuan Jing's head was still a little confused.
After the maids finished serving Xuanjing and washing, Xuanjing went straight to Qingyi Garden to greet the princess. After having breakfast with the princess in Qingyi Garden, Xuanjing asked the princess to resign.
On the way back to his Hongwen Academy, Xuan Jing remembered that he hadn't gone to the bottom of the lake to visit the mysterious old gentleman in the past few days. I just have time today, so why don't I go to the bottom of the lake? The last time I fought with Xuanyu, only Xuanjing himself knew that he used the 'Heart Burning Technique' taught by the old man by mistake, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
Xuan Jing was about to jump onto the frozen lake when he suddenly heard someone calling out to him. When I turned my head, it was Xiaoque, who was in the Hongwen Academy.
It turned out that Miss Huiqin came to the palace to visit Xuanjing early this morning, but Xuanjing happened to go to ask the princess for peace. Xiao Que is a warm-hearted girl, beckoning Huiqin to wait in Hongwen Courtyard, and then went to Qingyi Garden to inform Xuanjing.
After Xuanjing was injured last time, Huiqin stayed in the palace for three days. Serve tea and pour water every day by Xuanjing's side, and serve daily life. All of them are well organized, not to mention that Huiqin treats people gently, is naturally beautiful, and has elegant manners. Therefore, everyone in Hongwen Academy is very fond of Huiqin.
Later, Huiqin saw that Xuanjing's body had recovered and was no longer hindered, thinking that it would be inconvenient for her to live in the palace. So he moved out on his own and returned to live in Bichun Fang. It's just that it is necessary to take time to visit Xuanjing once a day. Every time he came with Yaoqin, he played some pure and indifferent tunes for Xuanjing, and Xuanjing listened to it very useful. After the strong incineration of the heart in the market that day, the agitated and hot internal breath in the body has slowly subsided.
Since I heard that Huiqin is coming, I have to visit my grandfather at the bottom of the lake another day.
Xuan Jing followed Xiao Que all the way back to Hongwen Academy. I saw that Huiqin was already waiting in the house.
"His Royal Highness!" Huiqin gave a salute.
Xuan Jing hurriedly returned the salute: "Sister Qin doesn't have to be polite, is there anyone else here, you and I know each other is also fate, why stick to these etiquettes." ”
Huiqin smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness, I feel better today, is the breath in my body still stable?" ”
"It's okay to breathe inside, it's just that I had a weird dream last night, and my head is a little heavy when I wake up in the morning." Xuan Jing patted his head as he spoke.
"Oh, my sister is a little familiar with dream interpretation, I don't know what dreams the son of the world had, can you tell it and listen to it. I'll give you a solution, see if it's good or bad, and have fun! When Huiqin heard that Xuanjing had a strange dream at night, she was interested.
Xuan Jing smiled faintly, "Since Sister Qin wants to hear it, I'll say it, you are not allowed to laugh at me after listening!" Xuan Jing told Huiqin about last night's dream.
Prince Cheng invited the famous master of the Jin Dynasty to come to the house to teach Xuanjing about enlightenment and kindergarten since he was a child. Naturally, I don't believe in such a strange thing as dream interpretation, but Sister Qin asked, and she just said it casually, let's see how she interprets dreams.
Who knew that Huiqin frowned after hearing this, as if she was worried.
Xuan Jing couldn't help but be curious, "Sister Qin, may I ask how this dream is, is it auspicious or evil?" ”
Huiqin took it for a long time, "Your Royal Highness, this dream is a sudden change in the Lord and is about to travel far away." ”
"Change? Sister Qin, but what can happen to me? Xuan Jing was a little funny.
Huiqin smiled hurriedly, "This kind of thing can't be done accurately, I'm also blind, don't take it to heart!" ”
After saying that, Huiqin opened her bag and took out a small fragrant cake. The incense burner that was thrown into the house was kindled with flint, and green smoke rose from the incense burner. Huiqin herself stretched out ten fingers like shallots, placed them on the top of the stove and warmed them far away, ready to play the piano for Xuanjing. After a while, the room was filled with a faint fragrance, revealing a clear and elegant atmosphere.
Huiqin opened the piano case and prepared to take out the yaoqin to play.
"Sister Qin, wait a minute!" Xuan Jing suddenly said as if he remembered something.
Huiqin was stunned, "Shizi, what's wrong?" ”
Xuan Jing scratched his head, "Yesterday in the court, the imperial grandfather gave me a piano, I heard that it is a precious thing, how about Sister Qin play this piano?" ”
