CHAPTER XXV
Alas, you will be wrong, Mei Shuang pouted and said, "I came out with you, and you should be responsible for the safety of this journey."
"Hehe, Miss Shuang, if this king is not mistaken, you should have begged this king to take you out."
Looking at Mei Shuang's little face that collapsed instantly, Nangong Nuo seemed to smile, "However, you really impressed this king, you really know a lot about the smoke that was actually half broken by you." ”
Before Nangong Nuo's words fell, the sound of the report outside interrupted him, "His Royal Highness King Qizhao, the female assassin in the prison car has to see you and, and-"
The guard suddenly didn't know what to call Meishuang, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "It's the girl in the carriage just now, who said that as long as you see each other, you will die without regrets."
Nangong Nuo glanced at Mei Shuang and immediately refused.
At this time, if she came to tell Meishuang about the little thing between the two of them in front of Meishuang, wouldn't she be asking for trouble for herself?
I only heard Mei Shuang say, "People are about to die, and their words are also good." Why don't you meet her? ”
Nangong Nuo thought for a moment, "Slow down, bring the assassin over." ”
- By the bright candlelight, Meishuang looked at the female assassin kneeling on the ground, under the long hair was a fair young face, but seventeen or eighteen years old, dignified and delicate, the appearance was no different from that of the Central Plains, the eyes that attracted people's eyes, like ripe grapes, bright and deep, extraordinarily spiritual, under closer inspection, there was a depth that did not match his age.
At first glance, it was difficult for her to associate the undersized and beautiful woman in front of her with a killer with strong martial arts and a ruthless heart. After looking at it for a while, Meishuang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen this woman's face somewhere.
While Meishuang was pondering, the assassin looked at Meishuang as well, and soon, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she didn't speak.
Subconsciously, she found it hard to believe that this woman of her age was actually the object of their hard work, and it seemed that this Han woman was characterless except for her outstanding appearance.
I can't help but smile bitterly in my heart, isn't it really wrong? If that happens, the hard work will be in vain.
"What's your name?" Meishuang asked kindly.
The female assassin was silent for a moment, then replied in stiff Chinese, "Miyoko Kurang"
"Miyoko Kurang?" Meishuang groaned.
Some relevant records quickly flashed in my mind. In fact, this surname is not unfamiliar to Meishuang, who has studied ancient history. Because this surname represents a family that was once influential in the history of this small country, and the glory of its family has been more than a hundred years. However, the family suddenly died out, but the reason for this is not recorded in history.
If the woman in front of her was talking about this Jiurang family, then she could almost deduce a lot of things related to it, but obviously, this history does not exactly correspond
Seeing Mei Shuang's frowns slightly, Miyoko suddenly felt hopeful, and her big eyes flashed with longing, "Please, you must be the person we are looking for"
Kurang Miyoko's words pulled Meishuang back from her thoughts to reality, and she said lightly, "I think you must be mistaken, I can't be the person you are looking for"
Kurang Miyoko did not give up, and the admonition she received when she set off flashed in her mind, and she suddenly raised her eyes, looking at Meishuang's eyes with urgency and sincerity, "No, the will from heaven has already guided us to find you, this will definitely not be wrong!" Hope you can help us."
"Well, can you tell me what I can do for you? Moreover, since they came to me, why can't they be righteous and bright, and actually use such cruel methods to harm others? Thinking of Fang Cai's bloody cruelty and the corpses of the guards on the ground, Mei Shuang really couldn't accept such cold blood.
"This" made Miyoko see Mei Shuang's eyes sharp, her eyes flickered, and her tone was expecting Ai Ai.
Nangong Nuo didn't mind, and waved his hand to let the guards go down.
Kurang Miyoko sighed, closed her eyes and opened them again, and then she made up her mind, "Our Donglai country has been in peace with the world for two hundred years since the Yayoi period. But in recent decades, it has become less and less peaceful. Today, the original Donglai country has been dispersed into more than a dozen small countries. Our family, originally the largest and best family in Donglai Country, inherited the essence of Donglai Country and became the current Donglai Country, living in peace with other small countries. However, ten years ago, a worldly master passed through the country of Donglai and sued our family for being cursed. This curse is terrible, and that is that we have allowed all the young men of our family to live to be less than fifteen years old, until our family dies. Sure enough, from a few years ago to now, our Jiurang family has lost dozens of excellent men."
Speaking of this, Miyoko's sorrow was overflowing, her whole body trembled, her voice choked, and tears rolled down, "Their deaths are all miserable, and if this continues, our family will soon die."
Hearing this, Mei Shuang's heart "chuckled".
Kurang Miyoko continued, "Although the master pointed out the curse, there is no way to help us solve it. We can only look everywhere for a way to lift the curse, but we have little hope until we learn that this is the ghost of Himiko, the queen of the Yamatai Kingdom! Himiko is ruthless and good at witchcraft, and poisoned her mother to succeed to the throne with her own hands, and under her coercion and temptation, other small countries have to unite against the Donglai Kingdom ruled by our long-made family, and only wait for our long-lasting family to disappear and she will dominate the world and achieve her evil purpose. Today, however, we are no longer able to compete with it. We are the only women who are left with the responsibility of saving the family, and we have to undergo the most brutal training from an early age, so that one day we can find a real person to break the spell for the family, if we can't, we will kill Himiko and die with it."
Speaking of the past, Miyoko's eyes cracked for a long time, and her silver teeth almost wanted to be crushed.
Mei Shuang was shocked when she heard this, Yamatai and Himiko are very apt, no wonder history has not recorded it, it turned out to be an abnormal death, she can almost be sure of the trouble and future of this long-made family.
When her eyes fell on the thin woman in front of her again, her shrugged shoulders made Mei Shuang's heart feel uneasy.
The responsibility for the rise and fall of a powerful family was finally borne by these weak women, and at the same time, admiration and indescribable sympathy swelled up in their hearts - they tried so hard, but they did not know that it was useless.
Eyes fell on Kurang Miyoko's somewhat chapped lips, Meishuang got up, poured a cup of tea, brought it to Kurangi Miyoko, handed it to her mouth and asked, "Are you traveling with the women of your family?" ”
For a long time, Miyoko's body was shocked, and she looked at Meishuang with tears in her eyes, picked up the teacup with her mouth, and drank it all.
Mei Shuang caught the empty cup, turned around and sat down, directly ignoring the disapproval in Nangong Nuo's eyes. Obviously, Nangong Nuo does not agree with her kindness.
Kurang Miyoko's eyes flashed with longing again, "I just beg you to come with me!" ”
After Mei Shuang put down the cup, she didn't think twice, "Although I am very sympathetic to your plight, I just said that I am just a woman in a boudoir, what did Man say to save your family such a big task, it is what kind of ghost path vulture you just said, I don't know anything, and even unheard of, what's the use of me going with you?" You must be mistaken."
Kurang Miyoko shook her head, "All the women in our Jiurang family who are over the age of thirteen have come out, day and night, sleeping in the open, and traveling all over the world to find the secret recipe of the master, but there is little hope. Until a few months ago, after we inadvertently saved an old man, it was she who directed us here, and she said you can"
"Old man?!" Mei Shuang felt incredible and laughed at the same time, "What old man actually made you worship like a god, even at the cost of killing people?" I am not a doctor who can help the world, nor am I a panacea, how can I cure the curse of your family? Furthermore, if the old man has the ability to predict the future, why don't you let him lift the curse for you? What's more, you will do whatever it takes to achieve your ends, how can I believe that you are good people?! ”
Obviously, a deep look of disappointment flashed in Miyoko's eyes, and she was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised her eyes and said firmly, "Actually, we don't want to kill them!" They are the ones who insist on blocking it! Moreover, we also know that if you are taken away, someone will definitely not let you! That's why I had to make this decision! ”
Meishuang glanced at Nangong Nuo, thinking that even if this long-term Miyoko told the truth, it would be too extreme!
She could only say it again, shaking her head, "I'm sorry! I really can't do anything about it! ”
Nangong Nuo had been listening intently, and only then did he smile coldly until this moment, "It turns out that you hid in Miaochun Tower, and you were planning to get close to this king, just for that?" ”
Miao Chun Lou?
Mei Shuang suddenly realized, no wonder this woman looked familiar. It was actually the crazy woman who blocked the door of Nangong Nuo last night and wanted to take off her clothes? At that time, things were abrupt, the light was not clear, and it was only a moment before and after, and she only took a general look, plus the woman at that time was wearing heavy makeup, which was indeed different from her current appearance.
Suddenly, Meishuang felt that things were complicated.
So, they've known each other for a long time? No wonder the other party knows Nangong Nuo's whereabouts well. The other party did not hesitate to pretend to be crazy and stupid to go to Nangong Nuo's mansion to listen to the news, didn't he already know that her Meishuang would appear there sooner or later, just waiting for her to be captured tonight? What's more, how does the other party know that she has come out of the cold palace?
All kinds of thoughts came out one after another, and the more Mei Shuang thought about it, the more scared she became, and she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Kurang Miyoko did not shy away from it, and raised her head, "Not bad! We already know that this woman is very important to you, so I am sure that if we follow you, we will definitely see her sooner or later! ”
Nangong Nuo's heart sank, and he glanced at Mei Shuang, whose face was pale, "Really?" ”
He put down the wine glass in his hand, narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and said lightly, "What else do you know?" ”
The so-called saying too much must be lost, what Fang just said is enough to make this very suspicious prince reminisce for a long time, and under the trap, she knows that she won the bet.
