Chapter 22: Lotus Heart's Past
Wu Xi asked Shu Yao what was the matter with so many arrows, and Shu Yao told him, "The princess has been learning archery recently, and now she is interested in arrows, so she asked the slave maid to bring back all the arrows of different arrows on the market." ”
Bei Ran listened from the sidelines, "Nangong is learning archery? Beiran asked.
Shu Yao nodded, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
Beiran was stunned for a while, and then went back to Fuyuan Pavilion.
Wu Xi also continued to investigate the totem.
After Nangong Dumpling woke up and washed up and finished dressing up, he went to the front yard.
In the distance, she saw all the arrows under the stone table, and she ran over.
Pick up an arrow at random and look at it, the arrow has holes. She took a bow and fastened the arrow in her hand to the bow and shot it at the bull's-eye.
Nangong Qian thought to himself: When this arrow is shot, there is a sound of dysprosium, this should be a prosper arrow!
Then he put the bow and arrow on the stone table, and took out from his sleeve a book about the introduction of bows and arrows. She opened the book and checked the arrow, which was the Ming Di Arrow.
Nangong also asked Shu Yao to make a scarecrow instead of the arrow target. Within an hour, Nangong had tried all the different types of arrowheads here. It was found that the lethality of triangular arrows and iron arrows is relatively strong. Strong enough to even pierce a scarecrow.
So he asked Shu Yao's pliers to come out, and Nangong tilted the two arrows to "dissect".
Shu Yao watched Nangong from the sidelines, "Why did you dismantle them?" Shu Yao asked curiously.
Nangong replied to Shu Yao while dismantling it, "Because as long as you dismantle it, you will know what the internal structure is." These two arrows can be said to be relatively lethal. If I want to make something unique and lethal, I have to know the structure of the lethal arrow and emulate it. ”
Shu Yao nodded, "oh", and continued to stand aside and watch Nangong dump the arrows.
——
"Grab the lotus heart to this palace."
"Yes, sissy."
Lianxin went out of the mansion to help others buy things, and as soon as she stepped out of the Beiwang Mansion, she was put into a sack.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Lianxin said loudly.
The man kicked Lotus Heart on the back, "Shut up." ”
In this way, Lianxin was carried all the way back to Mianwan Hall by that person.
After arriving at the Mianwan Palace, Aunt Su let her subordinates go down, and only Emperor Wan, Aunt Su and Lianxin were left in the entire Mianwan Palace.
Aunt Su untied the sack of the sack, and after Lianxin came out of the sack, she saw Emperor Wan and Aunt Su.
When Lianxin saw it, he hurriedly saluted.
"This palace has placed you in the North Palace's mansion for so long, and you haven't brought any news to this palace, do you want your father and mother to bury you for you?" Emperor Wan Guifei roared as she spoke.
As soon as Lianxin heard that Emperor Wan's concubine said that she wanted her father and mother to accompany her to the funeral, she began to panic, "Please let Emperor Wan's concubine let go of the slave's father." ”
Emperor Wan's concubine sneered, "If you want your father and mother to live, then bring back the news of the Northern Palace." ”
Lian thought for a while, "Recently, Nangong has been studying bows and arrows. ”
She didn't want to talk about it, but she couldn't let her father and mother because of her accident.
"Nangong is studying bows and arrows?" Hearing this news, Emperor Wan was also surprised.
"Exactly."
Emperor Wan's concubine thought for a while, "When did Nangong Tilting start?" ”
"Yesterday."
Who in the Beiwang Mansion didn't know that Nangong Tilting started learning archery as early as eight days ago, and studied it yesterday.
"What does Nangong Tilt do when he studies bows and arrows?"
"I heard that Nangong Tilt wants to make a unique arrow."
"Very good, continue to look at Nangong Tilt, as soon as there is a move, you will send a message. Otherwise, this palace doesn't dare to guarantee that your father and mother ....." Although Emperor Wan didn't finish her words, she didn't have to say anything to know what she was going to say.
"The slave knows."
Lianxin left the Mianwan Palace, and on the way back to the Beiwang Mansion, she kept thinking about what happened two years ago.
- Memories
Two years ago
Lianxin has lived with her father and mother since she was a child.
Now Lianxin's father and mother are not her biological parents.
Lianxin is an orphan who was thrown at the door of her current family just after birth. Her adoptive parents happened to have no children, so they adopted her.
They have been very good to Lotus Heart since they were young, just like their own children.
When Lianxin was six years old, she knew that they were not her biological parents.
Her father and mother were embroidery. That day she let her father and mother rest at home, and she went to the market to sell embroidery.
When the sun set, when Lianxin came home, she found that her father and mother were gone. I only saw a letter on the table, and the content of the letter was probably to ask Lianxin to go to the place specified in the letter and meet someone.
According to what the letter said, Lianxin went to the address in the letter and met a person.
When she got there, she saw her father and mother hanging from the trunk of a tree.
"Dad, mother." Lianxin shouted.
I saw that she was wearing a lilac dress, which was as long as the floor. The wide sleeves are tattooed with white plums, proud but not atmospheric. The waist is tightly tied by a dark purple belt, lining the slender figure. Correct facial features with a little powder, honey-colored lips with a light color, willow eyebrows shallow description, black eyes, broken waves, and a smile between the eyebrows. Three thousand green silk pulls a moon bun, obliquely inserts a purple gemstone hosta, hangs down the tassel, and makes a sparse sound. Elegant but noble.
"As long as you promise to help Bengong do things, then your father and mother will naturally be safe."
Lianxin looked at her, "Who are you?" ”
I saw her sneer, "I am the Wanhuang concubine of Beiliang." ”
She didn't shy away from suspicion, and directly told Lianxin who she was.
"Why should I do things for you? Also, how did you find me? Why should I be specified? ”
"If you want your father and mother to be safe, you'd better help Hongu do things. As for why this palace appointed you, or why it found you. You don't need to know, you just need to know, if you want your father and mother to be safe, it's best to listen to this palace. ”
Emperor Wan's concubine threatened Lianxin for no reason.
Lianxin looked at her father and mother who was hanging from the trunk of the tree, took a deep breath, and said, "I can help you with things, but my father and mother must be safe." ”
"Yes, as long as you do a good job for Hongu." Emperor Wanfei said with a smile.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Lianxin asked.
"Hongu will train you to be a killer, but you only have two years. If you can't become a real killer within two years, this palace will kill you, and also kill your father and mother, and let them bury you with you. Emperor Wan said threateningly.
"Killer?" Lianxin asked in surprise.
"That's right."
In this way, Emperor Wan's concubine cultivated Lianxin into a killer.
In front of Emperor Wan's concubine, she is an emotionless killer. However, the lotus heart has never changed. If you have to say that you have changed, you have become good at acting.
When Lotus Heart is trained to become a killer, every once in a while, there will be a competition. You will only survive by killing those who want to kill you.
In the past two years, Lianxin has been forced to kill many, many people.
The only thing she thinks about is her father.
She has thought that if her father and mother had not adopted her, she would not be like today. But if her father hadn't adopted her, she might not have survived now.
Now her father and mother are suffering such a thing because of themselves. The only thing she could do for them was to keep them safe.
Two years later, Lianxin passed countless competitions and allowed herself to survive.
After she became a killer, the only task given to her by Emperor Wan was to place her in the Beiwang Mansion and pay attention to Beiwang Beiran's every move.
- Finished recalling
She finally became a killer, and the only task given to her by Emperor Wan was to pay attention to the North King's every move. Who wouldn't say it, Beiran is very fine. It's harder to get news of him than to get to the sky.
finally entered the Beiwang Mansion and served by Beiran's side. However, he was arranged by Beiran to clean the courtyard, and then he was brought to the Shenxi Hall by Nangong Dumping, which was even more difficult.
Emperor Wan's concubine didn't give her any chance to practice, and as soon as the two years came, she was placed in the Beiwang Mansion.
In the past two years, she only cared about practicing martial arts, and she never thought about being someone else's eyeliner at all.
This is the task, let her be the eyeliner.....
What Emperor Wanfei said is right, in the past five months of doing eyeliner in the Beiwang Mansion, I have not brought back any news to Emperor Wan.
The first is that he really didn't find anything useful, and the second is that he only knew that Nangong was going to make arrows, and there was no useful news.
I really don't know why Emperor Wan asked her to keep an eye on King Bei.
Although she is now a killer. But compared to the real killer, she hasn't even learned the skin of a killer.
After Lianxin left the Mianwan Palace, Aunt Su said to Emperor Wan's concubine, "Niangniang, is this Lianxin really useful?" ”
Concubine Wan was silent for a while, and said, "She is useful, but she is not used to being a killer now." ”
"But in the past five months, Lianxin has not brought back any news." Aunt Su of Lianxin was looking for it, and she was naturally worried that she would not be able to do things for Emperor Wan's concubine.
"Aunt Su, don't worry, maybe it won't be long before you see the results." Emperor Wanfei said confidently.
——
Wu Xi went to investigate the matter of the totem, and after checking for several days, he did not investigate the origin of the totem.
Bei Ran thought to himself: What kind of organization is it, it will be so difficult to investigate.
Nangong poured out the arrow for a morning, and he didn't see what kind of structure it was.
Shu Yao was accompanying Nangong on the side, and she was about to be sunburned into Shu Yao.
"Miss, you've been dismantling all morning, aren't you hungry?" Shu Yao asked lazily.
Nangong glanced at Shu Yao with her spare eyes, "Are you hungry?" Nangong asked rhetorically.
Shu Yao smiled embarrassedly, "You can see it." ”
"Go get some food!" Nangong said.
As soon as Shu Yao heard that she was going to take food, she came to her senses and ran faster than a horse.
After a while, Shu Yao brought a bunch of food to the front yard.
Nangong Tilting continued to be hers, and Shu Yao watched Nangong Tilting from the side while eating, and fed Nangong Tilting from time to time.
By noon, the sun was even more intense. Nangong and Shuyao were in the sun, so hot that their whole bodies were hot and sweaty.
Nangong poured it and wiped it with her sleeves, and when Shu Yao saw it, she ran into the house with a basin of cold water, soaked the handkerchief, and wiped the sweat for Nangong.
In the afternoon, Nangong asked Shu Yao to take pen and paper and began to design arrow tails.
Just when Nangong was focusing on design, Shu Yao was called by Wu Xi to Fuyuan Pavilion.
Shu Yao didn't want to interrupt Nangong's inspiration, so she went to Fuyuan Pavilion without saying hello.
"Slaves and maids see the prince."
"Get up!"
"I don't know what happened when the prince summoned the slaves and maids?"
"Why is Nangong Tanyu so interested in bows and arrows recently?"
"Miss just suddenly wanted to learn archery, and after learning it, she wanted to make a unique arrow. So there is the scene that the prince sees now. ”
Bei Ran thought to himself: Nangong Tilting had never touched these murder weapons before, why did he suddenly touch them now?
"Didn't Nangong Dumpling never touch these before?" Bei Ran asked suspiciously.
Shu Yao only reacted, the real Nangong Dumpling would never touch these in this life.
She realized that she was going to lie and deceive Beiran again.
"Back to the prince, Miss has been bored recently, so I thought about learning archery and tinkering with these." Shu Yao said with a smile.
Although Shu Yao explained it to Bei Ran, it was still unbelievable.
"It's okay, you go out!"
"Yes, lord."
Bei Ran sat on the stool, picked up the teacup, and frowned.
