Chapter 148

Poisoning eight years ago

Chengnan Town, North General's Mansion.

"General Xu, I have used up the talisman, and I have come to return the talisman today, thank you General Xu."

Chu Rong returned the talisman he had taken from Xu Ao before.

Xu Ao didn't take the talisman, he looked at Chu Rong's appearance, and his shrewd eyes were dyed with a bit of vicissitudes, far away, as if he saw another person through Chu Rong's figure.

"You're becoming more and more like your father." The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time, Xu Ao suddenly said with emotion, his expression was a little lonely, "The soldier talisman is originally a thing of the Murong family, and now it can be regarded as a complete return to Zhao, you take it, maybe it will have a big effect in the future?" As he spoke, his eyes suddenly darkened.

"As long as you give an order, I, Cheng, am willing to follow the little master to the death!"

Looking at Xu Ao's resolute expression, Chu Rong's pink lips were slightly raised, and he shook his head with an undeniable smile, "General Xu, the Chu family has been established for nearly a hundred years, and it is not easy to talk about recovering Murong at this time." ”

Xu Ao was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "When I was in the north, I had already contacted many of your grandfather's former subordinates, and they all firmly said that as long as you are willing, they will give everything they have to your use, what if the Chu family has been sitting on this throne for nearly a hundred years, Murong clan's subordinates are not vegetarians, besides, the national teacher and General Chang have been planning for you for many years, as long as you give an order, overthrowing the Chu clan is just around the corner!" ”

Chu Rong looked at Xu Ao, his smile a little dim.

"General Xu, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, you should understand this truth, now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and you and I have become sinners, even if Murong is restored, the dead will not come back, and they will even be infamy."

"I can't push tens of millions of people into the fire because of my own selfish desires, let alone push those who are loyal to my father and grandfather to a dead end, so General Xu doesn't need to persuade me anymore in this matter, I will dismiss all the people I have gathered and let them go back to live, if necessary, I can give them a resettlement fee, and it will all be the hard work of their grandfather, father and me."

Xu Ao looked at Chu Rong, his Adam's apple moved, but he didn't know what to say.

Murong, the mysterious surname that once almost dominated the world, the mysterious dynasty that was overthrown overnight, was erased from the history books, and only a few words of description were left but traces of the past can be seen everywhere, I wonder if Chu Rong can know what kind of glory it is, if he knows if he will still maintain his current thoughts......

"It's getting late, it's time for me to go."

Chu Rong didn't linger any longer, said to Xu Ao and slowly got up and left.

As for the glory of the past Murong Dynasty, which only existed among the people, he couldn't remember it clearly because his memories were too distant and his childhood memories were covered by the magnificent experiences that followed.

But he will never forget the shocking feeling when he opened the Murong Emperor's Mausoleum for the first time.

Thousands of bones become a sea, this is the price of dominating the world.

He would rather live an ordinary life than see his country built up of white bones.

Grandfather was born in the war era, there was no choice, he didn't kill others would kill him, so he laid the foundation of the Murong Dynasty by killing to stop killing, and when he arrived at his grandfather, the heavy responsibility of the family and country was on his shoulders, and he could only go to the black on one road for the sake of the people of the country.

And his father is different from him, and the two have a choice.

The family and the country have become history, and being too persistent will only harm others and oneself.

Therefore, his father chose to remain incognito until his death, and he never thought of recovering his family and country, so he should naturally inherit his father's last wish to keep this mountain and river instead of destroying it.

The carriage weaved smoothly through the streets.

Lanterns are lit up in the streets, illuminating the route of the carriages.

————

Chu Rong only entered the house and noticed that someone was in the house.

He glanced at Aoyagi not far away, and saw Aoyagi say silently with his mouth: "It's Miss Song." ”

He nodded, glanced thoughtfully at the bedroom with the lights on, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Why are you here?" He slowly walked into the room and looked at Song Li, who was only wearing underwear, lying on the bed with a pillow and black hair hanging down under the bed like a waterfall, raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

It couldn't be that he drank two more glasses after he left, and drank too much to spill on him, right?

"Don't let me?"

Hearing Chu Rong speak, Song Li stroked his hair, brushed his hair away, and raised his chin to look at Chu Rong.

The thick ink hair is scattered on the shoulders and sticks to the face, and the face is getting fairer and smaller, and a pair of bright eyes are like stars in the sky, which makes people a little unable to take their eyes off.

Chu Rong smiled, his eyes suddenly appeared a little colored like the light of the morning sun, his gaze slid down Song Li's head, and landed on the delicate body lying on the bed, a touch of darkness flashed in his eyes, and then he glanced lightly and quickly looked away and fell on her face, "No, I just didn't expect you to come." He said as he slowly walked towards the bed.

"I wanted to ask you something, so I came here." Song Li closed the book in her hand and threw it on the table not far away, the book fell steadily on the table, she turned over and lay flat on the bed and suddenly said: "I remember hearing my brother say that I was with you when I was poisoned, and you also sent me back, so I want to ask what happened in the first place." ”

She pursed her lips, her eyelids were half-drooping, and her thick eyelashes covered the darkness in her eyes, "If you don't find the person who poisoned you, you won't be at ease for a day." ”

Chu Rong hummed lightly, walked to the table and sat down, bowing his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that Chu Rong didn't speak for a long time, Song Li raised his eyes slightly, his face a little solemn.

When she first returned to Beijing to ask Chu Rong about the affairs of the year, she had a closed fast, and if she didn't say it at the beginning, she probably won't say it now.

Thinking about it, her eyes were a little disappointed, and she raised her hand to pull the quilt and close her eyes.

"It was a bit complicated to talk about back then."

After a long time, Chu Rong suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence in the room.

When Song Li heard this, she opened her eyes instantly, she turned over to face Chu Rong, and her eyes were blazing.

This old fox is willing to talk about the past?

"You came to the mansion to find me that day, and we had a few words, and then you said that you promised Gu Shaoqing to fight crickets and then leave, just when you were about to leave, a killer came to King Jing's mansion." Chu Rong said slowly, raised his eyes and glanced at Song Li, "That killer is coming at me, obviously you were only eight years old at that time, but you easily turned a killer around." ”

It seemed that he recalled the funny scene, and Chu Rong had a little smile on his face.

"Later, there was another man in black in the house, his martial arts were far above the killer, the two seemed to know each other and didn't fight, but arrested the two of us and fed them separately, and then you were poisoned."

Listening to Chu Rong's words, Song Li nodded thoughtfully, but she always felt that something was not right.

Just as she racked her brain to figure out what was wrong, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind.

"No, my brother said they looked for us for a day and a night, what did we do after the poisoning? Where did it go? ”

Seeing that Song Li quickly thought of something wrong, Chu Rong smiled helplessly, "I was knocked out by that killer, I just remember that when I woke up, we were hiding under the bed, and you were lying on me covered in blood and unconscious, I was so frightened that I couldn't push you, and then I carried you out of the palace, and you woke up once halfway and let me keep this secret, no one can say." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Song Li a few times, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

Song Li was stunned again.

She frowned, a little puzzled, why she told Chu Rong not to tell this matter at that time?

What did she do during the time when Chu Rong was in a coma? And how did he escape under the bed under the killer and the man in black?

"Then why didn't you tell me last time?"

Thinking of the first time he came to Chu Rong to ask about the poisoning, Song Li couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I don't want to tell you."

Looking at Song Li's eyes, which he couldn't even see, Chu Rong smiled lightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Forget it, go to sleep, it seems that the poisoning can only be investigated by me to recover my memory."

Seeing that Chu Rong couldn't find any breakthrough in the poisoning, Song Li had no choice but to give up, turned over and turned his back to Chu Rong and sighed quietly.

Suddenly, Song Li remembered the Gu in Chu Rong's body, her body couldn't help but tremble, she hurriedly sat up and turned around to look at Chu Rong, her eyes flickered slightly, "You just said that the killer fed you something, can't it be Gu?" ”

Chu Rong nodded.

Seeing this, Song Li's face instantly wrinkled, he couldn't imagine that the time when Chu Rong was poisoned was actually the same as the time when she was poisoned, according to this, didn't the Ice Silkworm Gu stay in his body for eight years?

"Okay, go to sleep, don't think about it."

Looking at Song Li's face with tightly wrinkled facial features, Chu Ren couldn't help but smile, got up and walked to the window to take off his clothes, leaving only his underwear and climbed into bed.

"That Gu has been in the body of the nun for so many years, you must be uncomfortable, right?"

Song Li raised his hand to hug Chu Rong's waist, sniffed and asked distressedly.

"Fortunately, the Ice Silkworm Gu is not poisonous, it only occurs on the fifteenth day of every month, and it has no effect at other times."

Chu Rong lightly dropped a kiss on Song Li's forehead, and said lightly.

Song Li hugged Chu Rong's hand tightly, and secretly decided to find a way to pull out the Gu in Chu Rong's body!

She raised her chin and kissed Chu Rong's chin, consciously pulled Chu Rong's hand and put it under the pillow, and lay down.

Looking at Song Li's conscious appearance, Chu Rong smiled, and put his other hand around Song Li's neck and imprisoned her in his arms.

Feeling the temperature coming from Chu Rong's body, Song Li soon fell asleep.

The darkness envelops the whole courtyard in it, and the hazy moonlight casts a thin veil over this quiet courtyard, the shadows of the trees are swaying, the wind is blowing, and the night is as silent as a pool of stagnant water.

When she woke up, she was already lying on the boudoir bed in the Lihua Pavilion of the Guogong Mansion.

She blinked a little confused, didn't she go to King Jing's Mansion last night? But how could she be in her bed now, thinking about it, and looking out the window to find that it was already full of light.

"Miss, you're awake."

Yingyue came in with a basin of water, looked at Song Li's bright suspicious expression, and laughed out loud.

"Miss, you still don't sneak away in the middle of the night to find the prince in the future, the prince of the province has to rush to send you back every day when no one is there before going to the court."

She said that her eyes bent unconsciously when she thought of Chu Rong coming back from a sleeping Song Li in her arms in the morning.

Although Song Li has always been informal, it is not good to sleep together before getting married, and the girl's innocent reputation is the most important.

It's good that she won't talk nonsense when she sees it, but it's not necessarily seen by others, thinking about her, she said with some concern: "Miss, you haven't married the prince yet, so pay attention, if outsiders know about it, maybe how to slander you." ”

Song Li was perfunctory, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

She glanced up at the sunny sky, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and an interesting idea instantly crept into her mind.

The weather is so good today, why don't you go to the street to set up a stall to tell fortunes!

Just do it, she quickly washed up, took off the props of fortune telling from the wall, and hooked her finger at Yingyue, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the world!" ”

Yingyue sighed, opened her mouth and looked at Song Li, a little confused what Song Li wanted to do.

"Just keep up!"

Song Li winked mischievously and went out happily.

"Miss, you're going out again!"

Cai Wei looked at the radiant Song Li, her eyes fell on the burden on her back and asked curiously.
