Xiao Luo glanced at An Riyan, and suddenly felt that this elegant Yamatai envoy was so hateful, why did he understand Meishuang's habits so clearly?

But he had to admit that Ahn Riyan's words were right.

Even if the horror is extreme, she would rather lie in her arms and slowly calm down, than open her mouth to ask herself to withdraw, and she doesn't know how much the freedom she longs for means to her, she would rather take the risk than ask herself to withdraw.

For a while, Xiao Luo's heart fluctuated, and he didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, so he simply got up and went to Meishuang's palace.

Meishuang was still asleep, Xiao Luo sat in front of the bed, staring at the little face, and didn't know when she would see her again tomorrow.

At dawn, Gonggong Li sent someone to send the things that Meishuang wanted, some of which were temporarily created according to Meishuang's drawings, in addition to the sharp blades for self-defense, there were also ropes, hooks, knives and shovels and other heavy bags.

Xiao Luo didn't sleep all night, there was a faint dark green in his eyes, Meishuang woke up without even wearing shoes, and came out barefoot, the first thing was to look at the things that were purchased.

After checking one by one, Mei Shuang got up and smiled at Xiao Luo, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to tell me before leaving?" ”

The relaxed appearance, which was diametrically opposed to the overly frightened state last night, made Xiao Luo a little stunned for a while, but he was still infected by Meishuang's smile, he didn't speak, just took out a long jet-black strip from the bottom of his sleeve and handed it to Meishuang.

Mei Shuang took it, it turned out to be a short sword, long ruler, more than two fingers wide, the whole body was jet black, the blade of the sword flashed with a faint light, and the hilt of the sword was inlaid with a huge blue gem, in addition to the gem, other carvings such as the stars flashed a deep light, the sword out of the sheath at the same time, the eyes lit up, the sword qi was like frost, the cold was pressing, it was really a good sword.

The previous travelers had all walks of life, and it was not uncommon to have any hobbies. She has also seen some famous swords and swords with her fellow travelers, although she doesn't know the name of the sword, but she knows the weight of this sword somewhat, not to mention that Xiao Luo carries it with him, it is definitely a good product for self-defense.

Mei Shuang held it in her hand, and Xiao Luo's body temperature seemed to be on the scabbard, she looked at it several times and asked, "Is this sword famous?" ”

Xiao Luo said lightly, "Well, this is the Zhanlu Sword, now I want to tell you how to use it." ”

Xiao Luo took the short sword and demonstrated it to Mei Shuang, Mei Shuang exclaimed, "There is still such a function?" Her fingers were caressing the gem on it, and she couldn't put it down, obviously her love for the gem exceeded the value of the sword in her eyes.

Xiao Luoqi said, "I took you to the Library Pavilion, and you didn't care about so much gold, silver, pearls and jade in it, why did you look at this gem again and again?" ”

Mei Shuang looked at the gem in the sunlight and asked, "Your Majesty, this gem won't fall, right?" ”

If you fall off, you'll be able to play all the features completely.

Xiao Luo laughed and said helplessly, "Do you understand?" O woman, long hair, short knowledge. Remember, always take it with you and never leave it with you."

Xiao Luo instructed, and the last sentence was a little strict.

Mei Shuang no longer questioned, carefully hung the sword on her waist, and suddenly heard Xiao Luo's mellow and gentle voice ringing in her ears, "Also, when you think of me, you can look at this sword"

Mei Shuang was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes, but saw that Xiao Luo's eyes had moved away, these words really rang in her ears, but there was a bit of distortion when she recalled it carefully, such sensational words actually came out of the mouth of this high-ranking Ninety-Five Venerable, it was really a little unbelievable.

Mei Shuang was sure that she had heard correctly, and a trace of emotion rose inexplicably in her heart, presumably the other party was expressing his concern for her and cheering her up.

She tried her best to suppress the throbbing in her heart, the corners of her lips curled, and she said mischievously, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will keep it well and I won't lose it for you." ”

Xiao Luo's eyes fell on the window, and after hearing this, he only responded lightly, "Hmm." ”

Mei Shuang stared at the emperor in front of her, standing in place with her hands in her hands, her angular face was not still cold, and her expression was not softened by Fang Cai's similar sensational words.

Mei Shuang hesitated for a moment, but still asked the words that had been hovering around her mouth for a long time, "His Royal Highness King Zhao, is he okay?" ”

Hearing Mei Shuang mention Nangong Nuo, Xiao Luo turned his head, his dark eyes were heavy, like a deep valley and a deep pool, and it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and he couldn't see the look inside clearly.

After a moment of silence, he said lightly, "I think you will see him soon"

Mei Shuang didn't know why, and secretly wondered if Nangong Nuo would also go to this mission?

Since Xiao Luo didn't want to say more, it was inconvenient for her to ask more.

After breakfast, An Riyan, An Riyan's entourage, Shi Jieyu, and Meishuang set off.

Looking at the galloping wheels raising billowing smoke and dust, Xiao Luo's eyes darkened, he thought for a moment, and ordered, "Spread my will and order them to be on standby at any time." ”

I was stunned for a while, and then I remembered to go to the Queen Mother's Palace.

"Gone?" Seeing that her son was absent-minded, the Empress Dowager Ming understood seven or eight points, and she was a little disappointed in her heart.

"Hmm." Xiao Luo nodded.

"The mourning family said that she would not choose to stay in the palace after all." Empress Dowager Ming sighed, twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, and the angry words were meaningful, "She is not the kind of woman who only knows how to revolve around men when she is nostalgic for a boudoir." Knowing that the road ahead is dangerous, I don't want to ask you to stay, so it can be seen that living in this palace is not so comfortable."

Empress Dowager Ming pointed to something, obviously condemning Xiao Luo for knowing but not curing.

What the harem concubines did to Mei Shuang, Xiao Luo felt like a mirror in his heart, but he sometimes deliberately avoided these things, because he felt a headache when he thought of them.

There are groups of wives and concubines, and they enjoy the blessings of all people, and not everyone has such blessings. As the king of a country, he can command thousands of troops, but dozens of concubines in the harem always make him feel at a loss. The concubines are not rough-skinned soldiers, but if there is a mistake, they can be scolded and whipped to set an example, in order to compete for favor, they are better at tears tactics, soft tactics, and hollow out their minds to please you. Even if you are hard-hearted, even if you have no conjugal love for these women, but in the face of the flattery on the faces of bright little faces, you don't feel soft, and you can't bear to be hurt.

Therefore, knowing that Mei Shuang was wronged by the concubines, as long as he didn't make too much trouble, he didn't want to pursue too much. After all, compared with the jealousy of the harem, the major events of the previous dynasty are more important.

Therefore, what he can do is to isolate Meishuang from the outside, listen to those gossip less, and see those unpleasant concubines less, which will naturally be more comfortable.

What made him feel strange and quite relieved was that Meishuang never mentioned anything about any concubine, even if it was related to her and how many grievances she had suffered, she never said anything.

This time, Meishuang weighed it for a long time, and she still had to go, and she couldn't help but say that she really meant to escape.

Thinking about it, Xiao Luo was distracted.

Seeing Xiao Luo sitting at the table, holding a tea cup in his hand, he forgot to drink tea thoughtfully for a while, the Empress Dowager Ming was a little angry, and she regretted it a little when she saw that look, right?

"Mei Shuang herself doesn't say to stay, you can't forcibly keep her? No matter how smart she is, she is also a weak woman who is powerless, you let her take this big risk, in case there are three long and two short called mourning family, how to live? ”

The Empress Dowager Ming simply complained.

But it's too late to say anything now.

The contract between the two countries has been established, and it is a trivial matter to break the contract lightly and hurt the feelings of the two countries, but if it is spread out, it will be laughed at by the people of the world.

Xiao Luo was silent, hearing the words of the Empress Dowager Ming, he woke up and smiled bitterly, no matter how he sounded, it seemed that he had forced Meishuang away?

The Empress Dowager Ming knew that a qiē was irretrievable, so she could only sigh again, and a thousand words were finally condensed into a wise saying, "A woman is virtuous if she has no talent."

That's the fundamental!

A qiē stems from the fact that you know too much Meishuang, and it's a pity that people don't take advantage of you.

Empress Dowager Ming glanced at her son, she knew her son's temperament best. The outside is cold and the inside is hot, the outside is steel and the inside is soft, light yì is not emotional, and if you are emotional, ten cows can't pull it back, and the previous Chu Xiruo is an example. Now he doesn't know what he thinks about Meishuang.

said that he was ruthless to Meishuang, he ran to the Qinglou in the middle of the night to save her, not to mention the recent luck; But to say that he really cares for Mei Shuang, how can he let her take risks.

Now looking at his expression carefully, he can't see through it at all, and the Empress Dowager Ming is discouraged, so she can only say, "Since you can't stay in the palace, it's better to go outside." The outside is not as good as the palace, there is danger everywhere, and she will be relieved when she hits the south wall."

-- Qishan is only a few hundred miles away from the capital, and it is the dividing line of the Qizhou region, which can be reached in a few days.

This treasure hunting trip, together with six coachmen, two carriages, plus a few tools and dry food.

The simple farewell ceremony was 108,000 miles away from the scene of the vast number of people and high morale that Meishuang imagined before, and maybe she had to solemnly sacrifice to the heavens and pray for God's blessing before leaving.

Even if it is kept secret, but such a big thing, the travel is so undignified, I don't know, I think it's an ordinary visit to relatives.

Looking at the few people who went together, Meishuang didn't want to say anything. There is strength in numbers, this is an ancient adage. What is strange in the deep mountains and old forests, just these few people can find treasures? I'm afraid it will be difficult for all the corpses to come back by then.

That's how it's arranged, though. Although one carriage could fit in, Meishuang insisted on sharing two carriages, and she didn't want to sit in the same carriage with An Riyan.

In her eyes, Yamatai is synonymous with "witchcraft ghost road" and "side door left road", and even the name of the country is evil, how good can people be? Don't look at people who look like Sven and behave politely, but people can't look good, who knows if they have ghosts in their hearts? Not to mention others, isn't Mei Ru, who has the true inheritance of witchcraft in the Evil Horse Tai Kingdom, a typical example? She looks kind in front of everyone, but her inner dirt is impossible to look at.

But An Riyan dispelled her thoughts with a word, "What we need now is to work together, and it is not good to work alone." ”

Meishuang was angry, so she could only obey An Riyan's arrangement, so as not to be deducted from being "disunited" as soon as she went out.
