Chapter 45: The Princess of the Dead Country
Three years later.
The yellow sand flew up, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the shouts of killing had surrounded a city in the desert.
"Xia Guo is dead!"
"Xia Guo is dead!"
The people of the city wept bitterly, and they could only wait for the arrival of the new monarch in this way, and they only hoped that the new monarch would be a little more tolerant and spare their lives.
In the city, King Xia is ready to sacrifice himself to the country, but the only thing he can't let go of is his daughter.
At this point in the battle, by King Xia's side, only Zhang Yan, the personal guard, was left.
"Zhang Yan, you are the best general among my Xia Guoliang generals, and this king has one last thing to ask for today."
"Don't dare!"
"No, today we don't divide the monarch and the minister, I only have one last wish, I don't want to see Wan'er die, so you go and save the princess and leave through the secret passage behind the city gate. This is the key to the secret passage, you must take it well, and then take her out of here, the farther away the better! ”
King Xia handed over the key, Zhang Yan couldn't help but look at it twice, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, take care!" ”
In fact, the guard Zhang Yan had long seen the trend of the Xia Kingdom's demise, and he had been waiting for him for a long time. Zhang Yan's family has been the guardian of King Xia for generations, and since his grandfather's generation, the Zhang family has had many complaints about the governance of the Murong family, but these things can't be said, they can only be buried deep in their hearts. In Zhang Yan's father's generation, the Zhang family was already full of resentment towards the Murong family, because every time the chaos was quelled, it was the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family who died, and the Zhang family was also grateful to the Murong family.
When it came to Zhang Yan's generation, he no longer had any affection for King Xia, and on weekdays, Zhang Yan regarded himself as a tool and obeyed King Xia, and secretly he secretly communicated with the enemy to pass on the secrets of the Xia Kingdom.
Zhang Yan didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, he was still young, and he still had a good year to squander, why should he be buried for the decaying Xia Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan quickened his pace and ran from the main hall to the outside of the princess's boudoir.
Without knocking on the door, Zhang Yan slammed the door directly and entered.
In the room, Murong Wan'er was combing her hair, and when she heard someone banging on the door, she directly grabbed the hairpin and prepared to commit suicide, and when she saw that it was Zhang Yan, she let go of the hairpin next to her neck and returned to her previous cold appearance, "Can you go out?" ”
"Princess, Xia Guo is dead!" Zhang Yan said.
"I know, so I ask you, is the hour coming?" The princess asked.
"No, the princess's time has not come, and King Xia doesn't want you to die!" Zhang Yan said: "Moreover, I don't want to! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Yan showed a sneer, and Murong Wan'er may have sensed something, so she hurriedly grabbed the hairpin and stabbed it at her neck.
Swish!
The hairpin was knocked off by a copper coin from Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan sneered and walked towards the princess, and with a slight slash on the back of her head, the princess fainted.
The scene is over.
The sky gradually brightened, and when Murong Wan'er opened her eyes, she found herself in an enemy tent, and the sound of enemy war songs was everywhere. She hurriedly checked her body, but fortunately her clothes were not messy, and she was not ruined.
At this moment, a corner of the tent was lifted, and two maids entered.
They put aside the clothes in their hands, glanced at the princess coldly, and said stiffly: "Princess, please be wide-dressed, the king of Shang wants to see you!" ”
"King Shang......" Murong Wan'er's heart was like ashes.
"The King of Shang is our king, do you still think that this is your perished Xia Kingdom?"
"That's it, you can be looked at by the king of Shang with this kind of body, I really don't know what our king's vision is!"
The maids were meaner than the other, but from their words, Murong Wan'er realized that she had been sold, and she was also sold by Zhang Yan, who was known as the loyal and good man of the Xia Kingdom.
Murong Wan'er's heart was so dead that she let the maid toss, she didn't want to live anymore, she just wanted to wait for the maid to leave and then commit suicide.
The clothes are dressed, they are bright red, it seems that the king of Shang wants to go to the cave room today.
Outside, the sound of slashing and crying resounded through the world, and inside, the princess of the dead country quietly groomed.
As the princess of the dead country, Murong Wan'er had been prepared for a long time, but today's arrival was too sudden, and she suddenly missed her father a little, and only hoped that he could die happily.
"Report, Dr. Taixue Zhang Gongjing asks to see the princess."
The tent was lifted in a corner, and the person who said he was seeking to see came in on his own, waved away the maid, and stood in front of the princess for a long time without saying a word.
"Come with me!" The man on the other side said suddenly.
Murong Wan'er raised her head, and when she saw the other party, she couldn't help but show doubts.
"In the red maple forest that year, you invited me to drink fine wine." The man on the other side said.
It turned out that the person was the former scholar, but it had been too long, and the original scholar had become a scribe in an enemy country, but the princess had become a princess in a dead country.
"Oh, it's been a long time, I don't remember." The princess had no interest in anything, "You go, no one will like a person who flirts with the woman of the king of Shang." ”
"No, you're not!" Zhang Gongjing said: "I didn't see any woman who belonged to the king of Shang, I only saw a phoenix imprisoned in a cage!" The phoenix's feathers were so beautiful, but there was a dead silence in her eyes. I don't want that fire on the phoenix to go out, so come with me! ”
"Go, where are you going, Xia Guo is dead!"
"It's better anywhere, it's better than here!"
"I can't get out, this is the enemy camp!"
"If you believe me, you will be able to get out......"
Another scene is over.
In the next scene, on the back of a war horse, the princess rode a horse with Zhang Gongjing in soldier's clothes. Behind them, thousands of enemy troops pursued them desperately.
"Drive! Drive! Drive! ”
"Catch up with them, and never let them escape!"
"Dr. Taixue Zhang Gongjing has committed treason, and the king said that they will be taken whether they live or die!"
It was night, the whole mountain was lit up by torches, and the princess and Zhang Gongjing had been forced to a desperate situation.
"Princess, there is a cliff ahead, and we have no way." Zhang Gongjing said.
"My path, in fact, was long gone at the moment of the fall of the Xia Kingdom." Murong Wan'er's face was as if she was dead, and when she saw Zhang Gongjing, she couldn't help but show guilt: "Originally, it was just me who died, so why did you intervene sideways and put your life on the line." ”
Zhang Gongjing didn't answer, just smiled bitterly.
Seeing that look, the princess had already understood.
Gradually, the soldiers got closer and closer, shouting across the hill.
"Lord Zhang, hurry up and catch the princess, the king said, as long as you take the initiative to admit your mistakes, you will be spared death!"
"Lord Zhang, you and I are both from the Shang country, why do you want to do those things for a princess who has died in the country, you want a woman, according to your status, where is it!"
One step forward, there was an abyss, Zhang Gongjing got off the horse and came to the edge of the cliff. He glanced down at the cliff and said, "Princess, do you remember what you said in the red maple forest three years ago?" ”
"Can I pretend I don't remember?" Murong Wan'er said.
"I can't." Zhang Gongjing said: "You said that if I told you to jump off the cliff, you would jump off the cliff?" Today I will answer you, yes, if you tell me to jump off a cliff, I will jump off a cliff! ”
