Chapter Seventy-Seven: Thousands of Mountains and Rivers
It was nearly early in the morning when Feng Xuanyu left, Su Liruo fell asleep, he stood in front of the bed, staring at her, sleeping very unsteadily, sometimes frowning and sometimes muttering, what did she dream of? He turned slowly, stepped out of the door, and looked up to see that the sky had turned white, and another sleepless night had passed.
Naluo and Zhijian were waiting for him in the garden, and when they saw him appear, they hugged their fists and asked: "Owner, that girl's wound has healed, after all, it is only a skin injury, as for the envoy of the day country, the power of the owner of the village, the internal injury is serious, it really took me and Zhijian a lot of effort, and you can also walk around on the ground!"
"Owner, I think those two people must have a conspiracy, the purpose of which is to face the palace, and since the owner of the village has punished them, why did he bother to try his best to save them?" Zhi Jian was angry and dissatisfied, he remembered that the two of them didn't know what to do, and his heart was even more angry.
Feng Xuanyu pondered for a moment and said, "Send a few people to escort them out of the Great Moon Realm!"
"Yes!" Naraku suddenly remembered something and said, "Master Zhuang, is it appropriate to send the prince of the Sun Kingdom away from the Moon Country like this?" Emperor Entropy there..."
"It's okay, this king has his own rhetoric." Feng Xuanyu's eyes were deep, and he said: "After sending you out of the country, send a few skilled people to follow you secretly, and report any situation at any time, and you must not easily startle the snake or expose your whereabouts!"
"Okay." Naraku nodded, looked up at him and said, "The owner is so tired, is he overworked?" When appropriate, take a break and rest! so as not to hurt your heart. ”
"Time is of the essence, there is no room for laziness!" Feng Xuanyu's deep eyes were covered with a faint layer of loneliness: "It has been a year since this king came to the Great Moon, and the end of summer is approaching, and before the end of autumn, all obstacles here will be cleared."
"What the owner said is extremely true, it should be solved quickly!" Zhi Jian said in a deep voice: "These people are all thinking about smuggling power, it's just a miasma, smoke me to death, if you don't go back to the capital to breathe fresh air, won't you suffocate me alive!"
"What's next for the owner?" Nai Luo said: "Although the prince's party can't make waves anymore, they just cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, leaving them with hidden dangers in the future!"
Feng Xuanyu was stunned, and at that time, he excused the prince and cleared up his involvement with Wei Xiangguo. Because of her at that time, she melted the cold ice in his heart and made him feel the warmth of his long-lost family affection. Hui'er, Sheng'er's laughter and laughter sprinkled over the entire garden of Mo Xuanju, the eldest sister's gentle smile, her clear eyes, and even the servants and maids of the palace had joy on their faces. What a warm scene it was, imprinted the bottom of his heart, eliminated his anger, and even stabbed his mother with a ruthless sword, and he became charitable and lenient in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to see him hurt the prince and Concubine Yan and become the puppets of Wei Xiangguo.
At that time, the state of mind was actually full of the warmth of father's love and filial piety!
He smiled bitterly: Ruo'er, Ruo'er, since you have cleansed me with a pure and flawless heart, why did you tear up all this beautiful thing when I tried to change my new self?
He was bewildered: the fortress of solidity and indifference, which had been so hard to build, had collapsed, and the warmth that had invaded his cold heart had corrupted his mind and driven away his tyrannical aura. It makes him yearn for that tenderness, longing for rest and lingering, forgetting the cruel and sinister rivers and lakes, and forgetting the purpose of this trip.
His heart ached: once, her eyes were pure, like a pool of clear spring water, attracting him to absorb. Once, she was carefree and happy, like a breeze on her face, which made him obsessed. Once, she smiled, like a blue sky, rippling in his heart. Now, she began to fear him, to panic him, to flee from him. Her eyes were confused and melancholy, her mind was gloomy, and her smile was gone.
He looked up and sighed! The heart has sunk deep, the love has penetrated the bones, and the love has invaded the marrow. Willing to be a slave, there is no solution to this poison, and there is no spirit in the medicine stone. Teach people to death!
Because of her, he has the cracks of weakness, which makes people take advantage of his weakness, break his tenacity, destroy his will, and tear his thoughts apart.
The wound in his heart began to ache faintly, and then the pain was intense, and he had to cover his chest and close his eyes to relieve his internal strength.
"Owner!" Naluo was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Is the sword wound recurring?"
"No problem!" Feng Xuanyu extracted the surging emotions in it, opened his eyes and said slowly.
"The owner of the village is still cautious, this sword wound is so evil, it is not easy to heal, it is healing and painful, so repeated, I have to prevent it!" Naluo's expression was extremely solemn, he had always been haunted by the mysterious and mysterious sword wound of the owner, although Su Liruo's panic at that time had made him guess a little, but he never dared to verify the owner.
"This king knows it!" Feng Xuanyu waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to worry. "The prince's party is no longer a climate, and Wei Xiangguo is already under the law, and at that time, both the pressure was controlled and half of the government was implicated, so let this matter pass!"
After a pause, Feng Xuanyu said solemnly: "As for Taiwei Jiang, according to Jiang Xueke's report, it has been determined that Taiwei Jiang is practicing the Yang Shrinking Evil Skill!" This evil skill is not inferior to Sangmo's Gu technique. A few days ago, Jiang Xueke had put the powdered powder into his bedroom, hoping to weaken some of his skills. ”
"Owner, why don't you let me try that old man tonight and find out his skills!" Zhijian is a little uncontrollable.
Feng Xuanyu waved his hand slightly, his eyes were far-reaching: "You have a fierce temperament, it is not appropriate to fight with him, so as not to impulsively expose Guan Wu's identity, this king has his own arrangements!" You don't have to worry. ”
Zhi Jian had to laugh twice to hide his embarrassment, he knew that what the owner of the village said was true, and with Jiang Taiwei's behavior, he could win the service of the knights of the rivers and lakes, and it was definitely not as easy to deal with as Wei Xiangguo.
Naluo, who was on the side, thought of another question and said: "Owner, Jiang Xueke, as the only daughter of Jiang Taiwei, can be described as a pearl in the palm of her hand, and she is favored alone, but why is she willing to join forces with the owner to eradicate her father?" This woman is not simple, she was able to coerce the owner of the village to marry her with grace at the beginning, this time I am afraid that there is no scheming! ”
Feng Xuanyu pondered for a moment and said: "This matter has been investigated slightly, and it is reported that her biological mother died suddenly, and she died of poison, but Jiang Taiwei was hastily buried, and there must be a hidden meaning involved." Jiang Taiwei has no children under his knees, and he has never remarried when he is widowed in his prime, if he guards his deceased wife with deep affection, why is he not held accountable for his hasty things back then? ”
Zhi Jian asked without thinking, "The owner suspects that the death of his deceased wife is related to him?"
"I'm afraid Jiang Xueke also has this intention!" Naraku raised her eyebrows, as if she had come to her senses.
"These are just some of the symptoms, and it's so much more than that." Feng Xuanyu paced with his hands in his hands, and said with a heavy face: "Taiwei Jiang has a cousin who entered the palace as a concubine back then, and later his mother became a concubine with her son, who is now Concubine Xiao, the biological mother of King Heng. Jiang Taiwei recruited talents and made friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes, nothing more than strong and thick military power, in order to support King Heng, and then contend with the princelings of Wei Xiangguo. ”
"Since ancient times, the emperor's family has no true feelings, and his brothers and sisters have been crippled, and the communist parties have been fighting for power, which has always been the case!" Naraku smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly.
"In the past few days, this king has been following Jiang Taiwei, this person is neither greedy nor money-loving, and quite chivalrous! But why are you caught in this whirlpool? Step by step for King Heng, plan and plan? Don't hesitate to take risks to cultivate evil skills! Feng Xuanyu's footsteps slowed down and paused.
"Could it be that the owner of the village suspects that Jiang Taiwei has another purpose? It's just the name of King Heng! Naraku said.
Not really! What's the secret here? This king is also puzzled! Feng Xuanyu frowned at his sword eyebrows, and after a while, he slowly turned around and ordered: "You go to handle the escort of the prince of the day country first, as for Taiwei Jiang's side, you must think about it in the long run, and you can't rush it!"
"Yes!" The two responded and left immediately.
Feng Xuanyu pondered for a moment, and then set off into the palace.
Hyein Palace.
When Emperor Entropy heard the report of the Nian Gonggong, his spirits were lifted, and he said in a loud voice: "Please!"
Feng Xuanyu came with a white moon, leaned over and saluted: "Erchen has seen his father!"
"Yu'er doesn't have to be polite! How? Have you found an envoy from the Kingdom of Day? As soon as Emperor Entropy saw Feng Xuanyu coming in, he hurriedly got up and asked.
Feng Xuanyu said indifferently: "Father doesn't need to worry, the son has found the envoy of the Sun Kingdom, he is safe and sound, unscathed, just obsessed with his daughter's affection, leaving flowers and delaying time."
"What?" Emperor Entropy was stunned and frowned slightly. "Hi-kunita... How ridiculous is the messenger? Lingering flowers? ”
"Well, I think that the envoy of the country of the day should be a merry man, an amorous gentleman. When the retainers saw that he liked a woman, he sent someone to escort them away so as not to cause trouble. Feng Xuanyu squinted, passing the imperceptible coldness.
"Yu'er sent him away?" Emperor Entropy's face changed slightly: "In such a hurry?"
"If the father feels that something is wrong, the son will send someone to chase him back!" Feng Xuanyu said.
"No!" Emperor Entropy stretched his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "Yu'er is reasonable! Let him leave as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble and hurting the peace between the two countries. A few days ago, I begged me to allow him to visit your concubine, saying that he was an old friend, and I thought he was a person of great affection. Never thought it would be so pompous? That's it! Let him go! ”
Feng Xuanyu's eyes were cold, and his face was full of deep meaning, and he was silent.
Seeing that he was slightly displeased, Emperor Entropy stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, the matter of the envoy of the day country is over, Yu'er has not entered the palace for some time, come, accompany me to Qiongyuan for a walk!"
Feng Xuanyu immediately recovered his complexion, looked at it slightly, and said with his head bowed: "Yes, father, please!"
The father and son laughed side by side and walked towards Yuchi Qiongyuan.
Princess's House.
Jiahui heard a knock on the door and motioned for Yun'er to open the door, and after a while, Yun'er returned to the inner room with a tray full of food.
"Eighth Princess!" The clouds called.
Jiahui lifted the curtain, poked her head out, caught a glimpse of the food on the tray, and said with a look of joy: "So much? Looks like you don't have to go hungry today! ”
She asked Yun'er to put the tray on the desk, turned back to Zhao Zimo with a depressed face and said, "Master, come and eat, the food is abundant today, and you will definitely be full." Feed your stomach, and you will have the strength to teach the disciples kung fu later. ”
On the edge of the bed, Zhao Zimo was ashamed and sighed: "Princess, you are a daughter, your status is noble, Zimo is ashamed, you broke into the boudoir by mistake, so disrespectful, it really deserves to die." If the princess's reputation is damaged as a result, Zimowan's death will be difficult to answer. I also hope that the princess will be benevolent and tolerant, and will be allowed to go regardless of Zimo's recklessness! ”
"Zhao Zimo, you still want to leave?" Jiahui jumped out of bed in a huff and said angrily: "This princess worships you as a teacher, and it is your blessing that you have cultivated in several lifetimes, but you don't know what to do, and you shirk it." How? This princess is your apprentice, but can you be wronged? ”
"Princess, Zimo is not thinking about it." Zhao Zimo looked at the aggressive Jiahui, and felt more and more similar to his sister Zijin, but she was angrily reprimanded by her, and was suddenly speechless.
Jiahui saw that he was silent, so she sneered and laughed, took his hand, tore off the bed and said, "Okay, don't make me angry in the future, spare you today, hurry up and eat!" The set of swordsmanship you played yesterday is too mysterious, and it is no different from what Seventh Brother taught Sheng'er, so I will learn this swordsmanship! ”
Zhao Zimo secretly complained in his heart, so he had to snort: "If the princess plays swordsmanship, it will take three or five months, Zimo left in a hurry, I am afraid that the head of the family will be worried, and besides, Zimo's trip is just to see the old man, I wonder if she is okay?"
Jiahui pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then said, "You said that you are the envoy of the Day Kingdom who escorts the tribute, so be it!" This princess sent someone to secretly inform your companion so that he would not have to worry. As for your deceased, who is it? Tell me that this princess will look for you! ”
Zhao Zimo was secretly happy in his heart, and said sincerely with his fists: "Thank you, princess!" Zimo immediately repaired a letter to report safety, so as not to worry about the head of the family. As for the old man... When she came to the Moon Kingdom the year before last, she heard that she was given by His Majesty to the King of Yi as a concubine..."
Before Zhao Zimo finished speaking, Jiahui interrupted him in astonishment and asked, "What you are talking about is the concubine of the Seventh Brother's Mansion, is it Sister Ruo... Su Liruo! ”
"Exactly!" Zhao Zimo was overjoyed, and excitedly shook her hand, holding it tightly, which showed the joy in his heart. "The princess knows her?"
"Not only do I know, I often be with her, if my sister is very literate, superb piano skills, quite talented in music, and flying in the air is a must, she is a strange woman." Jiahui praised her endlessly, full of joy.
"Ahh So much better! So much better! Zhao Zimo was ecstatic, and his words were incoherent. Can the princess make it convenient for Zimo to see her? ”
"No! Brother Qi will definitely not let him, he regards his sister as a treasure, how can he let you meet at will. Jiahui shook her head and said with an embarrassed face: "If my sister is unwell during this time, the eldest sister won't let me go to the Seventh Brother Mansion with Sheng'er, for fear of disturbing Sister Ruo's recuperation."
"She... Is she okay? Zhao Zimo's voice trembled slightly, and he asked in suspense: "Are you sick?"
"Maybe I haven't rested well, and my body is weak." Jiahui seemed to think of something, and said excitedly: "That's it! Tomorrow I will go to beg the eldest sister and let me go out to visit Sister Ruo in the Seventh Brother's Mansion. By the way, how about I convey my thoughts to you? ”
Zhao Zimo pondered for a moment and said, "Can you trouble the princess to bring her a piece of paper, and I have also calculated Zimo's intention to come all the way to the Moon Kingdom." Zimo thanked the princess here! With that, he leaned over and saluted.
"Well said! Say! Jiahui hurriedly agreed: "It's hard to raise your hand!" Master doesn't need to say thank you, come, let's dine first! ”
The two happily sat on the side of the table to eat, Zhao Zimo couldn't help but be happy, and kept asking Jiahui, if Su Li is okay in Yiwang?
Jiahui was simple-minded, completely immersed in joy, thinking that Zhao Zimo's heart was over, she could have no worries, and stay to concentrate on teaching herself martial arts, her heart cheered, and unconsciously poured out all the details of Su Liruo in the palace.
Zhao Zimo listened very attentively, and after Jiahui's description, a warm picture appeared in front of his eyes. From this point of view, Wang Yi is not as indifferent and ruthless as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, he is full of love for Su Liruo, and he did not snub her because she was a concubine, but abandoned the side concubine to favor her alone.
Zhao Zimo's mind also slowly faded and calmed down a lot. When he learned that Su Liruo had been sent to the Moon Kingdom as a concubine, he was furious and his heart was full of pity. What kind of fear and panic should that elegant, pure as water, and elegant woman of the world be in a strange and foreign country?
He secretly resented his father, why was he so cruel? Can't tolerate a weak woman? I have to leave her doomed!
His originally suppressed feelings were instantly released, and his heart was full of urgency and worry, eager to fly to her side immediately and take her away from the land of right and wrong. Therefore, Li Moxiao asked him to discuss pretending to be an envoy to escort the tribute to the Moon Country, and he agreed, and the two hit it off, and they had this trip to the Moon Country!
