Chapter 228: Latent

The days slowed down day by day, as if they were still, Hong Ling lay quietly on the table, like a shell with a closed mouth, no one knew what she was thinking, this was a secret stronghold set up by Chen Jinye, very safe, so safe that it seemed that nothing had happened before, but she had to admit that Liu Ling'er was now an old girl of twenty-five or sixteen.

"Niangniang, it's been a month, have you figured out how to deploy the restoration of the country" Boundless arched his hand and asked, boundless countless times in the past month to ask Hongling this question, Hongling didn't say anything and didn't move like a statue, "Niangniang, I respect you for being the crown prince's appointee, and treat you like this, if you really have nothing to do, I won't blame you, but you are like this now, how can I convince the soldiers and soldiers of you!" "I never wanted to convince you" "What? Hong Ling only said such a sentence after a month, as if it was floating from the air, Wubian thought it was an auditory hallucination, "I said, I never wanted to convince you of me" Hong Ling repeated, Wubian was completely angry, "You woman! The prince died for you, but you are so vicious! Now you still enjoy the protection left by the crown prince for you! How can you bear to do such a ruthless and unrighteous way! "For my country? It's just that you see this" Hongling's indifferent tone made Wuying angry, an arrow stepped forward to grab Hongling, and pulled her out, Hongling's ears were whistling with the wind, her body was torn to the ground at any time, and she was taken to one place before she could struggle, the smell of sweat swept over with the smell of earth and metal, Hongling choked and coughed and covered her mouth and nose and frowned at everything in front of her, the not spacious basement was crowded with soldiers, fighting weapons, practicing combat, and even some people buried their heads in the water to practice breath-holding, Before she could express her opinion, Hong Ling was pulled to another space, and there were relatively few people here, "General Boundless just wants me to see them train?" Do you think someone as vicious as me would be touched? And then plunged headlong into your business and gave everything for you? Boundless pursed his lips and didn't speak. After a while, a soldier came in from the outside and waved at the boundless and then walked to the depths of the room, then Hongling found that there was another person inside, "Let's start" The soldier said, the mysterious person inside asked "Are you ready" "Ready" I saw the soldier bite a wooden stick, the man waved the hammer in his hand and smashed it at the soldier, Hongling exclaimed, "What is this doing!" You're lynching! Is this how you treat the soldiers who give everything for you! No wonder you are dying!! Hongling was about to rush up to stop all this, and she held her tightly and didn't say a word, "Stop!" You inhuman killers!! Hong Ling struggled to watch all this progress, thinking that maybe it would be her next, maybe this soul who had fallen into another world would end the bondage of her body here. This punishment lasted for about half an hour, and the soldier was carried on a stretcher to another room, and the person who carried him out of the shadows came out of the shadows, and behaved respectfully to the boundless, Hongling couldn't control her emotions, "Why do you do this to him!" The executioner respectfully replied, "This is all his own request," and "How is it possible!" "Niangniang doesn't know, most of our Nanzhao soldiers have been ruined by the invasion of the heavenly spectrum, their greatest wish is to be able to return to the country and take revenge, now in addition to various means of training, and breaking their own bones and letting it grow on its own can make it harder and more powerful than ordinary people, so many soldiers will choose this way to strengthen themselves" Hong Ling listened to all this with wide eyes, the air was still filled with the smell of that soldier's blood, and before she could react, she was pulled out by Wubian again.

"Now, after watching all this, do you still think it doesn't matter to you?" asked Wubian coldly, "You crazy people!" Not everyone is going crazy with you!! Hongling said uncontrollably, and said coldly, "The prince has told me everything, and all these changes and deaths are caused by you!" Do you still think you can stay out of it!? Hongling kept retreating, covering her ears hysterically to "No! That's not true! No!!! Seeing her like this, Wubian was even more angry and said, "It's you!" It's you! Harm the South Zhao to destroy the country! Harm the people of the world into troubled times! Hong Ling kept refusing to retreat, covering her ears desperately, Wubian saw such a Hong Ling after roaring, but she never dared to let go of the prince's entrustment, and said, "Now the only one who can help us is you, only you can help Nanzhao restore the country, and you are the one who can restore the world to balance, and you can get what you want in the end, why not try it?" Even if it's for the sake of soldiers who want to go into battle even if they break their bones, why not give it a try? Hongling's mood completely collapsed, she sobbed and shrunk in the corner, and kept replaying boundless words in her head, thinking that this was only about her own life and death, as long as she didn't care, the world would be calm as if nothing had happened, she deeply felt that she was wrong, outrageously wrong, if she could have thought more about others, could all tragedies be repeated? But there are not so many ifs in this world, just like the butterfly effect, if you choose to shake your wings on the other side of the ocean, you have to accept the attack of a tornado, which has no choice and change, because this is not a movie.

"You let me think about it" Hongling hugged her legs and hid in the corner, with rare traces of tears on her face, and it was not easy to say anything when she saw this, so she answered and retreated. Wubian returned to the study and took out what Chen Jinye handed him, which was the only bargaining chip to control Hongling, and she didn't seem to be interested in it, but a soldier seemed to be more touched by her, maybe the prince really chose the right person.

Tianpu Palace, "Your Majesty, there is still progress in the case of chasing traitors, according to the clothes of the traitors killed that day, it can be preliminarily judged that this batch of killers should be the remnants of Nanzhao Kingdom, Princess Ling'er should be safe for the time being" King Pu pinched his frowning brows and listened to the minister's report, "Continue to investigate!" But don't startle the snake" "Yes"

Since Hongling was taken away, King Pu often came to Hong Ling's room to sit, the palace people only felt that King Pu had a deep affection for Liu Ling'er, sighed, the concubines of each palace secretly rejoiced that Liu Ling'er was missing, King Pu knew all this, he didn't know what he felt about Liu Ling'er, but he often remembered the first time he saw her, he had never lived so easily, only that time, in his mother's garden, a woman who mistakenly broke into the forbidden place, did her mother also think that she should be mine, That's why I met her.

A month has passed, and there has been no progress in the case, and in the study, "how can there be no progress at all!" What do I want you to do? The minister of the criminal department replied tremblingly, "Back to the emperor, it is not without progress, the ministers found out that the day before the crime, the princess had a meeting with her former slave Qing'er, and which slave seemed to have received a lot of favors from Nanzhao, the minister, the minister guessed, is the princess ...... this incident" "How is the princess?" King Pu asked in a calm voice, the minister glanced at King Pu's face and continued tremblingly, "The ministers guess, Gong, the princess may have known about this plan in advance...... So...""Bastard! The minister knelt down with the anger of the king, "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry", "Get out of here with your unreasonable conjecture!" If I hear such remarks from the government and the opposition again, you are the only one who asks! "Yes, yes, the minister will step aside." After the minister retreated, King Pu sat alone in the upper study for a long time, and the sky gradually fell, and the eunuch in charge, Gonggong Li, asked in a whisper, "Your Majesty, where do you plan to stay tonight?" The slave is good to prepare" King Pu's thoughts were pulled back, he got up and walked to the door and said, "No need to prepare", King Pu came to Hongling's room again, looked at her calligraphy and paintings, looked at her piano, she would not betray herself, absolutely not, made up her mind, and suddenly remembered that Ling'er seemed to have a very deep affection for her mother, would she find a chance to see her secretly? Thinking of this, King Pu couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, just now he was telling himself that she would not betray himself, and now he is thinking of a way to catch her back, this is not self-deception and what is it.

The next day, he went to court, "The prime minister thinks it is a top priority, how should I decide?" Jiang Zhong was slightly startled, how could he suddenly ask him, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant, "The minister thinks that the top priority should be to develop agriculture to increase taxes, and the army should also be appropriately expanded in case of accidents" King Pu knocked on the table slightly and said, "The prime minister's opinion is deeply heartfelt, I don't know what is the opinion of the case of Princess Ruyi's disappearance?" Jiang Zhong paused and said, "Minister, the minister has no opinion," King Pu glanced at Jiang Zhong and said, "Is this so?" Do other people have any opinions" The ministers looked at each other, and the minister of the criminal department stepped forward and said, "The minister thinks that the princess Ruyi was personally sealed by the emperor, and the top priority at the moment should be to find out the whereabouts of the princess as soon as possible, and catch and kill the murderer to raise the prestige of the country" The minister of the criminal department was complacent, thanks to yesterday in the study to understand the emperor's thoughts, the king of the criminal department heard the minister of the criminal department and yesterday completely different tone and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thoughtfully looked at the so-called minister of the criminal department, no one from the civil and military officials spoke, the atmosphere was quiet and scary, the king said leisurely"Master Li Guoguang, the secretary of the Criminal Department..."The Minister of the Criminal Department was frightened and his mouth was a little dry, "Emperor, what does the emperor command, the minister must be exhausted and never give up" King Pu continued, "Yes, yes, your proposal is very good" Just as Li Guoguang breathed a sigh of relief, King Pu continued: "I will hand over this matter to you to investigate, and after seven days, if you can't find out where Princess Ruyi was captured, you will raise your head to see me" Li Guoguang's legs were weak, he fell to the ground, and secretly glanced at King Pu, who just happened to be opposite to King Pu's gaze, and quickly moved his eyes away, and said tremblingly, "Wei, Wei Chen, obey the order" King Pu looked up and laughed when he saw this, "I am only like this, I am very relieved!" Retreat! ”
