Chapter 117: Escape Room (Part I)
The harbor under the cover of night seems quiet and peaceful, Qingyue stands alone on the lighthouse and looks into the distance, the river in the distance reflects the bright starry sky, it seems that heaven and earth seem to be one.
He was holding a small scroll of silk books in his hand, and the whole person seemed to be in deep thought, as if he was just in a simple daze.
The message sent from Lizhou City has been delivered this evening, the speed of the flying eagle in the snow region is so fast that people are amazed when they come back, and many people in the country even privately call it "wind elf", even if you look up in the city, you will feel that it is an extremely lucky thing.
The footsteps behind him were soft, Qingyue glanced back with a smile and asked, "Xiao Wu has set off?" ”
"Take the letterhead and go!" The young guard, who had not yet reached the age of the weak crown, grinned, pointed to the dark and dreary river, and said, "Your Majesty, I can't see that Xiao Wu is really a good hand!" ”
Following the direction of the young guard, Qingyue saw a flat boat moving fast in the surging water, and there was a person on the boat standing on the bow of the boat dressed in white, and his body was immovable, as if the wind and waves that shook the boat did not exist.
"Little Liu, what do you think...... Will the East Summer agree to postpone the date of the peace talks? Qingyue retracted her gaze, turned around and walked to the young guard's side, and grabbed him by the shoulder.
The young man named Xiaoliu did not shy away from it, and put his fist against the young king's chest, and said: "Your Majesty, the peace talks are just a cover, look at your serious appearance, and if you propose to postpone the date, you will say it directly, and what kind of accusation will you write...... It's as if we're a little lower than them. ”
"You don't understand, if I don't make a low posture enough, they will have a reason to turn their faces and change their hexagrams, maybe the Eastern Xia Emperor doesn't want to talk about peace at all, and just happens to use this reason to ......" Qingyue smiled slyly and walked towards the stairs with Xiao Liu.
"In case Emperor Nadong Xia does not agree to postpone the date, but is furious and wants to vent his anger on Xiao Wu, wouldn't it be dangerous for Xiao Wu to go?" Xiao Liu put his hand on his waist knife, and couldn't help but glance at the boat that had gradually disappeared into the night, and there was a trace of worry in his heart.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are all the guards of Qingyue, and the two are serious brothers of eight hundred, born in the royal family.
While speaking, Qingyue had already taken Xiaoliu down the lighthouse, the steps were very steep, but for the two of them, it was like walking on the ground, Xiaoliu escorted Qingyue all the way to the king's tent, and his face was still a little sad.
Qingyue was very grinning, patted him on the shoulder and said, "In the past, when soldiers met each other on the battlefield, there was still a rule that the two countries were at war and did not kill each other...... Besides, now we can't be sure that there is no intention of peace talks on the Eastern Xia side, if that Eastern Xia Emperor is really as wise and resolute as rumored, he can be called a hero in the world...... That must never embarrass Xiao Wu because of his own selfish anger. ”
"I heard that Emperor Dongxia is a person who has entered the realm of selflessness, why would such a person still cling to the strife in the world?" Although Xiaoliu is still a child, he has always been free and easy, looking down on the world, and it is this kind of temperament that makes his relationship with Qingyue closer.
"There is no self and no self, what is eliminated is only attachment to oneself, as for external objects, who do you think can escape the word 'desire' in this world?" Qingyue opened the big tent and slowly put it down, he looked up at the sky and sighed: "Even if you really cultivate to become an immortal, or even soar to become a god, what can you do?" Immortals can have no desires and no desires? ”
As a graceful figure dressed in colored light slowly appeared in his mind, he shook his head, trying to shake this figure out of his thoughts, but it backfired, and in a trance, he felt as if the person was turning around and smiling at him......
Qingyue sneered, and her tone was a little mocking: "Yes, I have also entered the realm of selflessness, but what qualifications do I have to judge others......
Xiao Liu frowned, his young age is only an objective factor, it doesn't mean that he doesn't notice the emotions between men and women at all, he obviously saw Qingyue's sorrow, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the letter from the state still says...... High Priest She ......"
"She's out of the state, isn't she?" Qingyue simply leaned against the lamppost outside the big tent, clasped her hands around her chest, and had a "I know" expression on her face.
"Well...... this" Xiao Liu scratched his head, the flying eagle that came to deliver the message before was his domesticated species, and he was also responsible for untying the letter on the eagle's leg, but he was now hesitating to tell Qingyue everything in the silk book.
Especially the section about the south temple.
The silk book was written by the old general Fu Hong, who was stationed in Lizhou City, although Xiao Liu was very curious about which corner this old general who had disappeared for many years came out of this time, but he was more curious and looking forward to it...... When Qingyue learned that the South Hall was no longer in Lizhou City, what kind of expression and performance would she have.
"What? She ......" Qingyue noticed that Xiao Liu seemed to be a little speechless, and suddenly changed her face, grabbed Xiao Liu's arm and said, "Is she still angry with me?" Angry that I didn't bring her along? ”
"Uh, uh...... Also, no. Xiao Liu hurriedly pulled off the five iron pincer-like fingers on his wrist, took a step back and said, "Nandian she...... Not angry, really, not angry. ”
Xiao Liu said as he retreated again and again, just now he was almost about to say something out of his mouth, but the words suddenly turned around and almost made him bite his tongue, but fortunately, he saw Qingyue quickly showed a smile on his face, and he should not have any suspicions.
"Little Liu, you go back and rest first." Qingyue opened the curtain of the big tent again, and suddenly seemed to remember something, turned her head and said: "Tell me to go down, be sure to catch a few fatty perch tomorrow, marinate it and bring it back to Dadu, dried salted fish is Nandian's favorite appetizer......"
"Yes, yes...... Xiao Liu smiled, "There are also the drunken crab claws of the time-honored Xiji brand in the south of the city, the most famous steamed goose paw in Wangyang County next door, and the 30-year-old fuyu alcohol of Changtong Restaurant...... I know that I know that I have already asked people to order it. ”
"Put more salt and spicy in the salted fish, we will have to return for more than a month when the fish is full, and the drunken crab claws will be mixed with the mash fried by the boss himself...... And the goose that steamed goose paws...... It has to be an old white goose that has been running on the ground for more than five years, and there are ......"
"Got it! Got it! Your Majesty, can you still have a bit of the majesty of a king? If you continue to say that, people should think that you are here to sell local products......" Xiao Liu quickly covered his ears and turned around impatiently to leave, not feeling rude at all.
King...... Majestic?
Looking at Xiao Liu's back as he walked and shook his head, Qingyue helplessly hooked the corners of her mouth and walked into her tent with a sigh.
It's just that this night, the lights went out early in his king's tent, and the patrolling sergeants couldn't help but look twice every time they passed by, and each other's hearts were full of doubts: the king likes to read at night with a lamp, how could he sleep so early tonight?
Of course, Qingyue in the dark would not really be sleeping, or rather, since entering the selfless realm, he had long since stopped using sleep to recover his strength and accumulate his thoughts.
No one would know that the king's tent was empty at this time.
Thousands of miles away, in the underground dark room of Meizhou City, Nanshan was touching his shriveled stomach and giving a long hiccup to Huang Xia.
"Ah...... Today, I know that even if I am extremely hungry, I will burp......"
Nanshan had a bitter face and complained weakly.
No matter how good Huang Xia's cultivation is, it becomes more and more unbearable, with a very obvious disgust on his face, he responded: "I also know today that a person who has broken the state of forgetting his mind will bend his waist for five buckets ......of rice."
"Yes, yes, I'm useless," Nanshan raised his hands to make a surrender gesture, "I don't need five buckets of rice now...... Three buckets...... No, a bowl! All you need is a bowl......"
Her eyes became more and more complaining, and she couldn't wait to hand her bitter gourd face under Huang Xia's nose, "A Dongdaoyou, otherwise, give me a sip of your magic rune tea......
After the heart control was performed, Nanshan was like a victim who had been hungry for three days and three nights, and even his cheeks looked like he had lost a lot of weight.
Huang Xia shook his head, after getting along for a day and a night, he felt that this so-called "High Priest of Asking Stars" was indeed a bit of a fame, a great cultivator who was about to reach the top of the selfless realm, and he couldn't escape the control of his appetite, which was ridiculous.
Of course, it is impossible for him to take the "Divine Rune Tea" in the teapot to Nanshan to "satisfy his hunger", because it is not Divine Rune Tea at all, but the "Cleansing Nectar" that helps him stabilize the realm of selflessness, which has the effect of dissolving the demons in his heart.
"Please...... Ah Dongdaoyou, you won't let you drink tea, and you won't eat meat, can you bear to see me die of emaciation here? Once again, you will use your head-to-toe charm to your kind-hearted benefactor...... Would you like to ask for some more food? Nanshan was only the one who brought food to this "A Dongdaoyou" before, that is, the person who "locked" him here, and in order to prevent her from seeing the true face of that person's Lushan, he made a little trick of extinguishing the candle and extinguishing the light.
"Nope." The corners of Araxia's mouth twitched, and she rejected categorically.
"Hey! You need to figure out the situation! Nanshan grinded for a long time, and finally found that she was still playing the piano to the cow, and in vain she had done enough to look pitiful, and sighed in a low voice, but now she was a little annoyed, "Don't you want me to save you out?" Wouldn't it be good if you could get me something to eat so that I could recover quickly? Or is it ...... In fact, you are already happy to be the confinement of others......"
Before Nanshan finished speaking, she only felt a strong wind coming, and the white figure that was originally sitting quietly on the couch suddenly floated in front of her eyes, and Araxia stared at a pair of phoenix eyes, her eyes were full of anger, and she grabbed her chin, making her frightened and stunned.
