Chapter 144: The End of the World (Part I)
Endless peaks, winding mountain roads, and bumpy carriages all the way swayed and slowly moved forward. Su Liruo grabbed the frame in the car with both hands, supporting the body that almost fell, and when the car was stable and no longer shaking violently, she took a breath and let go of her already numb hand, she thought that it should be a flat route. She slowed down for a moment, and then swept the curtain sideways, and sure enough, the rugged mountain roads were far away, far away. The carriage was still driving on the mountain road, but it was relatively stable, and Su Liruo looked over and found that there was actually a village not far away, which seemed to be passing through the border of a neighboring country!
When Su Liruo was thinking, the carriage stopped, she lifted the curtain without thinking and got off, it turned out that she had arrived at a town, looking at the people coming and going in front of her, the noisy and lively market, Su Liruo had a feeling that she was still in the world, no wonder, from last night to now, it was evening, and the carriage had been walking on the sparsely populated canyon mountain road.
Su Liruo took a deep breath of fresh air, then she felt that she was hungry, raised her eyes to look at the carriage, and the man in black jumped out of the carriage at the right time and walked towards her.
The man in black came to her, pulled off his scarf, showed a smiling face, and greeted her: "Miss Su!"
Su Liruo's eyes widened in shock, a little overwhelmed, and after a while, he shouted in disbelief: "Young Master Nai..."
The masked man in black is none other than Naraku!
"Miss Su is frightened!" Naluo saluted and said: "I have to pay attention, I hope you will forgive me, the road is tired, hard work, let's go to the front inn to stay first, fill our stomachs, and then talk about the details, can we?"
Su Liruo relieved herself, nodded, and followed Naluo to a relatively remote and quiet inn. Although the inn is small, the shopkeeper is very quick and enthusiastic, and the innkeeper is a couple who are over half a hundred years old. The shopkeeper thought they were brother and sister, so he opened two rooms next to each other for them, which was convenient to take care of, and set up the carriage.
Nai Luo instructed the shopkeeper to prepare some light and delicious meals, and after Su Liruo sat down, he smiled and said: "When you go out, it's inconvenient, so you can only do it, so you have wronged Miss Su!"
Su Liruo was full of questions, his face was gloomy, he shook his head lightly, and said indifferently: "It's okay, Master Nai is polite."
The shopkeeper was quick and served the meal.
Su Liruo has not eaten the rice grains since last night, and she has already been hungry. Therefore, you are not welcome, Luo Luo generously picked up the chopsticks to eat, although the meal was simple, but it tasted good, Su Liruo, who did not eat much, unexpectedly ate a lot of food.
Seeing this, Naluo smiled helplessly, thinking: If the owner of the village knows that Miss Su is so depressed and wronged, how can he feel distressed? Even he couldn't get away with it. However, it happened suddenly, for the sake of safety and to avoid unnecessary trouble, he could only be cautious and choose the barren mountain road and canyon.
After the two finished eating in the hall, it was already dark, and the shopkeeper held the lantern to lead the two to the backyard room, everything was ready, and the shopkeeper withdrew.
Su Liruo looked around the room, pondered for a moment, opened the door and closed it with her hand, and came to the door of Naraku next door, and was knocking on the door with her hand raised. With a squeak, the door opened, and Naraku looked calm, as if he had expected Su Liruo to come, so he made a gesture of invitation and welcomed Su Liruo into the door.
After Su Liruo sat down, Naraku closed the door and stepped forward, leaning over to give her a deep salute.
"What is this doing, young master?" Su Liruo hurriedly got up, held Naluo Shili's hand with both hands, and said continuously: "This can't be helped, it's so tormenting!"
Naraku insisted on saluting, and Su Liruo had never seen him so stubborn, so he had to give up and let go of his hand and let him salute.
After Nai Luo finished saluting, he stood up straight and said solemnly: "Nai is ashamed, Miss Su has been in danger several times, but she can't help. The owner of the village ordered to protect Miss Su thoroughly, but she was derelict in her duties, causing Miss Su to be in danger and involved in the royal political struggle, which also became a means used by others, making Miss Su sad and sad, which is really a crime of Nai, and cannot be shirked! ”
Su Liruo was stunned, the blocked atrium, the surging impact, in an instant, the sour and bitter taste was presented together. She only now understands how stupid she is, how wrong she is, thinking that she can deceive herself by sealing her heart and trying to forget every bit of everything with him. In fact, all memories were just forced to be suppressed by her, and when his news, even the slightest, was heard from the mouths of others, the door of her closed heart opened in an instant, and the memories came flooding in, leaving her with nowhere to escape.
"Miss Su!" Seeing her covering her heart, her face was pale and cold sweat was dripping, Naraku couldn't help but be shocked, and asked with a call, "But you're not feeling well?"
Su Liruo retreated in a trance, leaned back against the windowsill, supported his crumbling body, eased his emotions, waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "It's okay!" It's okay! ”
Naraku wanted to step forward, but when she saw that her face softened a little, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Su blames her for doing nothing?"
"Young Master Nai, I'm too worried!" Su Liruo lightly opened her pale lips and said in a sincere whisper: "Liruo has always respected the young master of Nai, and he is extremely wise, how dare he blame him." Li Ruo just never thought that Nai Shao Master would come all the way to the country of Day, in order to protect Li Ruo's safety, this kindness is inscribed in my heart. ”
Seeing her sincerity, Naraku avoided the important and trivialized, and knew that she had a serious misunderstanding of the owner, and she was afraid that she would not be able to let go of it for a while. He thought that someone else must be interfering between the owner and her, so he didn't force or explain, but only bowed his head slightly and said, "Miss Su praises falsely!" Nai was ashamed of it, listened to it, and was loyal to it. Fortunately, there is no danger, the dust has settled, and I just hope that the journey will be smooth and arrive safely. You can also make a difference and complete the task below, so good! ”
Su Liruo raised his eyes, his eyes were blank, and Naluo knocked on the side, Su Liruo naturally heard the meaning. It's just that she is a little confused, where is he going to take her? "Since Young Master Nai has been lurking in the Kingdom of Day, he naturally knows that there is a reason for this, and the twists and turns are bizarre?"
"Indeed, the whole thing, Nai does know. It's just that Miss Su wants to go back to Yuguo, I'm afraid it will backfire, so Nai is offended! "Nai Luo lives in Zhao Mansion, and he is naturally clear about Zhao Zijin Rouran and his relatives, he received an order from Feng Xuanyu, and he is hesitant to find an opportunity to take Su Liruo away. Coincidentally, Su Xiru's plan to change the sky and change the day made him successful, and he took the opportunity to take Su Liruo away. Of course, it was not to send her back to Yuguo according to Su Xiru's plan, but to carry out Feng Xuanyu's instructions.
Su Liruo sighed in her heart, the matter had come to this, it was useless to say more, she asked quietly: "Where is Young Master Nai going to take Liruo?"
Naluo smiled slowly and asked rhetorically, "Miss Su is unparalleled in wisdom, she should have thought of... Where are you going, is Miss Su unwilling? ”
Su Liruo was depressed, lowered her eyes, the place she once longed for the most, the dream of longing for... Suddenly, her heart moved: Yueyi Villa?
Su Liruo raised her eyes suddenly, her eyes flashed with a dazzling light, she almost blurted out, but she wanted to say nothing. For a long time, his eyes were dim, and he shook his head in a trance.
"What Miss Su thinks in her heart is where she goes." Naraku took in her sad and joyful looks, and said in a timely voice: "That place is like spring all year round, the breeze blows the green mountains and green waters, and the prosperous era is like a brocade... If Miss Su gets there, she will definitely like it..."
Su Liruo's whole body trembled slightly, clenching her palms tightly, her thoughts had already fluttered far away, she could imagine a picturesque Yueyi Villa: sheng song and laughter, grass scent wind warm, blue sky and clouds... What kind of refreshing and heart-touching cultural scenery is that?
Naraku saw her frowning and pondering, but the corners of her mouth were raised, with a hint of meaning, he saw that her heart was moved, and he finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. From the moment he received the owner's order, he felt tricky, in the face of a delicate and clear woman like Su Liruo, he really had nothing to do, and he didn't know where to start or find out the truth and take her away? Just when he was racking his brains, Su Xiru's plan was just right. Despite this, he still didn't feel at ease, in case she saw Ni Duan and refused to cooperate, wouldn't it be a failure? That's why he hurried up and hurried without stopping.
Su Liruo was still immersed in the dreamlike realm, and Naluo coughed lightly, waking her up, dazed. Naraku knew that he couldn't force her too hard, so he thought about retreating and said, "Miss Su, you're also tired, it's better to rest for the night first, let's talk about it tomorrow..."
Su Liruo had a lot of thoughts, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so she had to nod, and walked out of the house with some reluctance, and when she came to the door, she seemed to be touched by something, turned her head suddenly, and said with a resolute face: "When will you leave tomorrow?"
Naluo raised her eyebrows and said busily: "It's okay, it's okay, Miss Su can leave when she wants!"
Su Liruo smiled indifferently, turned around, and went back to his house.
Naroku's heart was completely relaxed, he reached out to wipe the fine beads of sweat from his forehead sideburns, shook his head and smiled thoughtfully: I finally didn't mess things up!
Zhao Zijin, who fell to the bottom of the cliff, fell into endless darkness, she groped and stumbled, and the fear of darkness enveloped her whole body and mind. She opened her mouth silently, panicked, and suddenly, in a hazy sense, she heard a voice calling, which was calling her name. She was speechless when she wanted to answer, and suddenly, she was so anxious that she used the last bit of strength to desperately run in the direction of the cry...
Zhao Zijin screamed, woke up drenched in sweat, and saw the handsome and tired face, the crown hair was messy, and the clothes were torn. He hugged her and called anxiously: "Zijin... Zijin..."
Zhao Zijin moved her arm, only to find that her whole body was tingling and cracking, and she couldn't help moaning.
Emperor Hua was surprised, and said in a trembling voice: "Zijin..."
Zhao Zijin touched his reddened eyes, his heart was shocked, he forgot the pain, and stared at him blankly.
Seeing her sluggish and stupid appearance, Emperor Hua hurriedly stroked her face and asked anxiously, "How is it?" Where does it hurt? Where does it hurt? bones? Is it the leg that should be broken? If you don't move, it won't hurt..."
Zhao Zijin had never seen him so flustered and nervous, and it was for her. Instantly, I just felt that my heart was choked and breathless, tears poured down, and finally, wow, she cried.
Emperor Hua was completely panicked, his hands and feet were messed up, I don't know if this is good?
"Zijin... Zijin..."He hugged her tightly, kept caressing her back, and whispered, "I know you hurt..."
Zhao Zijin was out of breath crying, and many years of grievances came to her heart, she cried vividly, acting recklessly, completely forgetting the pain all over her body.
