Chapter Ninety-One: One Day
After Xia Xian vented and shouted, he finally gave up and rushed out of the courtyard of the bee tower. The two gatekeepers retracted their halberds with expressionless faces and stood facing each other again as sculptures.
Xia Xian cursed Liang Bingruo in his heart, hating it so much, but he had no choice but to sit alone by the fish pond in the courtyard and be depressed.
When a person is depressed, he hates to be disturbed by others, unless he brings bad news.
The little brother in charge of the men's building came to Xia Xian's side with unhurried steps, cleared his throat and said, "Who is that, you fell five days ago, right?"
"yes, what's the matter?" Xia Xian asked impatiently, squinting at him.
"Count yourself lucky, five days ago, a native of the Cloud Cliff Country happened to see you blown away by the wind in the mountains, he knew that you were swept off the cliff, and helped you bring back two horses and two weapons. The horse is tied to the rockery, the weapon is in your room, and you can get out with your things. β
Xia Xian touched the back of his head in a daze, "Can you go out......?" Where is the exit, will you take me?"
The little brother in charge smacked his tongue and sighed: "I'm afraid that people with good faces and faces are not very good at their brains these days, didn't I tell you the rules of Yunya Country before? Since you are blown by the wind and did not commit suicide, then you can now leave the courtyard of the bee tower with your things and horses and go out to live by yourself!"
Xia Xian suddenly realized, this is indeed the case. It's better than not going anywhere. He went to the room to pick up his red tassel gun and Bingruo's cold moon knife, and then went to the rockery to take the red flame and the moon frost, and then walked to the courtyard gate.
When he was about to reach the gate, a girl with a strong voice stopped him, Xia Xian turned around, it was the fat girl who was as powerful as an ox before, Xia Xian was so frightened that he quickly sped up his pace, but the girl shouted again: "Xu Gongzi, wait for me!"
Xia Xian was stunned for a moment, stopped, and turned back to ask, "What did you call me?"
"Xu Gongzi, ......" The fat girl was full of shame, and her thick legs quickly moved to Xia Xian, and handed Xia Xian a picture scroll.
"Master Xu, your painting is gone. That one...... The little girl was too rude before, and I ask my son to forgive me. My name is Ah Tuan...... I could have gone out, but I didn't know anyone outside, so I stayed in this courtyard. Can I go out with you now?"
It turned out that the Xu Zishan landscape painting scroll tied to Yueshuang's back fell from the rockery and was picked up by Ah Tuan, so she thought that the handsome boy who led the horse was Xu Zishan who was named on the scroll.
Although Xia Xian disliked Xu Zishan's cumbersome painting scroll before, after all, it was given to Liang Bingruo, so he never threw the scroll away. But now, what is the use of this conscienceless Liang Bing if he wants this picture scroll? It is better to give it to this fat girl.
"This painting is for you, but I still have something to do when I go out, so you better not follow me. Xia Xian said as he turned his head and led the horse away.
"That, Xu Gongzi, I know about your fiancΓ©e Liang Bingruo, she is not a good person, you better not look for her......"
When Xia Xian heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and grabbed Ah Tuan's wrist, and said excitedly: "I asked you why you didn't say it before!"
"Because...... Because a year ago, I blamed this Liang Bingruo for following me in the middle of the night and frightening me to fall off the cliff, so I ...... Don't want to help you find her...... But since Sister Qing'er said that she was going to marry the king in seven days, let's not look for her!"
It turned out to be Liang Bingruo's enemy, very good! The enemy's enemy is a close friend!
The corners of Xia Xian's mouth raised a smile, pulled Ah Tuan, and said kindly: "Little sister, the Xu Zishan signed on the painting is my pseudonym in the rivers and lakes, my real name is Xia Xian, you can just call me Xia Xian!

The northernmost part of the cloud cliff country is the cloud cliff mountain, no one knows what the north side of the cloud cliff mountain is, the oath pavilion is built in a big cave in the mountain, and the surrounding is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for mosquitoes and flies to enter.
In the huge hall of the Oath Pavilion, eighty-one Cloud Cliff elders are sitting, lying or standing, arranged on both sides in turn in a magnificent temple hall, some with serious expressions, some with hippie smiling faces, some with angry eyes, and some squinting and napping.
Forty elders of different shapes were lined up in each row, and sitting on the top of the high platform at the front was an old man in a black robe, with gray hair and an expressionless face. Before Chu Xun came, he had already informed Bing Ruo that this Great Elder was the guardian of the Oath Pavilion, Elder Yun Xuan.
There is a huge incense burner in the center of the lobby, burning a handful of incense with the thickness of a bowl, green smoke filling, and the atmosphere is solemn.
Bing Ruo followed Chu Xun into the threshold of Qingyan and walked to the head of the hall, and in the gaze of everyone, the two people standing on the hall looked solemnly at Yun Xuan without squinting.
Yun Xuan got up, bowed to Chu Xun, leaned down slightly, and then did not get off the high platform, but sat back on the chair.
Yun Xuan said leisurely: "The king has thought clearly? β
Chu Xun had been thinking about it for several months, and since he had brought her here, he had made up his mind. "Chu Xun's voice is like spring water, not slow or slow.
"The king doesn't care about his own safety, but he doesn't care about the life or death of the people behind him?" Elder Yun Xuan, who was sitting on the high platform, looked at Bing Ruo with a faint compassion on his expression.
"It's her choice. Chu Xun turned sideways and let go of Bingruo's front, "I also ask Elder Yun Xuan to preside over the blood oath ceremony for us." β
Yun Xuan looked at the two of them lightly, frowned, and sighed lightly.
Seeing this, Chu Xun's body froze: "Could it be that the elders don't allow it?"
Yun Xuan's face gradually dissipated, and he said quietly: "Since the founding of the Cloud Cliff Country, one hundred and thirty-six indigenous men have married women from the outside world, and sixty-nine indigenous women have married men from the outside world. It has been 8,000 years since the founding of the Yunya Kingdom, with a total of 97 generations of emperors, and none of them have married outsiders. β
Chu Xun glanced back at Bingruo, with a faint sense of worry.
Bing Ruoxiao's heart jumped, listening to what this elder said, when the princess may be able to get out of this cloud cliff cage, but she will almost lose her life one hundred percent! Thinking of this, Bing Ruo couldn't help but be depressed.
"This king knows that the ending of the previous intermarriage between the people of the Yunya country and the outside world, although they are not good to die, but they also have a short but happy time together. This king believes that the meaning of life is not in the length of time, but in the feeling of each moment. β
Yun Xuan stretched out his hand, and his sleeve robe brought a gust of incense wind, gently brushing the green smoke of the incense burner, and the green smoke gradually turned red, revealing a strange aura.
The elder closest to the head of the hall on Yun Xuan's left hand took a small sharp knife with a flowing cloud pattern handle and handed it to Chu Xun.
Chu Xun stabbed his wrist with the sharp knife, approached the red smoke incense burner, dripping blood into the incense burner, and then turned around and handed the sharp knife that did not stick to the blood stains at all to Bing Ruo, who was trembling in his heart.
Bingruo's slightly trembling hands took the sharp knife and walked towards the incense burner.
"Your Majesty, you promised me before, after you got married, you will give up the throne to Uncle Wang and leave the Cloud Cliff Country with me, but is it true?"
"Nature is true. β
"Then why do we have to carry out such a complicated blood oath ceremony before the wedding?
"By taking a blood oath, we must be loyal to each other, and whoever betrays the other will be damned......"
Bing Ruo was inexplicable for a while, what this Cloud Cliff Country really does is likely to be punished by God, this place has existed for eight thousand years, how many monarchs and subjects have offended God!
"Since you and I have violated the rules of the Cloud Cliff Country to marry, and we are going to be sent by heaven, why do we need to say anything about betrayal and not betrayal, if we are afraid of heaven's curse, we will not get married, what is the meaning of this blood oath?" Bing Ruo stared at the red smoke on the incense burner and said to Chu Xun.
Chu Xun's heart darkened and he didn't speak.
Bing Ruo looked back at his broken eyes slightly, and his heart sank: "Don't think too much about it, Bing Ruo just asks casually." β
After speaking, Bing Ruo closed his eyes and raised his hand to the incense burner, one lotus root arm lingered in the red smoke, and Bing Ruo's other hand held a sharp knife and stabbed at his wrist.
At this moment, before the blade touched the skin, the lights in the Oath Pavilion were extinguished, and the wind from somewhere blew out the incense in the incense burner, and the red smoke dispersed, and everyone was shocked.
"It seems that today is not a good day to make vows, so come back another day. After Yun Xuan finished speaking, he stepped off the high platform and walked away.
