Chapter 285: The Princess's Choice
"One thing on me?"
Chu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned, it wasn't that she was reluctant, but that she had been doing it for a long time, did this Shen Yinxin still want her life?
Just when Chu Xiaoxiang was slightly surprised, a person wearing a mask and a black robe suddenly appeared in front of her, and her appearance suddenly pointed to a place on her chest.
"Our palace master said that we want you to take your most precious treasure as a gift and exchange it for her!"
"The most precious?" Chu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned, and then said with a twinkle in his eyes, "Although I am the princess of Ji Kingdom, I am alone, and I am not as good as the palace master of your family, could it be that she ......"
Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, and the other party suddenly pointed at himself: "My palace master said that if the princess really can't remember, she can take the horse in exchange!" The lord of my palace said that your colt is famous all over the world, and he is still close to the princess, so if the princess is willing, she can exchange the pony! ”
"This ......" Chu Xiaoxiang took a deep breath and pondered for a moment, "Okay!" ”
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiaoxiang deserved to be so happy, and Shen Yinxin's secret guard ran to report the matter to Shen Yinxin again.
Shen Yin opened her mouth in surprise, "In exchange for her sweetheart, is she really willing to do it?" ”
Seeing the silent appearance of the dark guard, Shen Yin's heart became even more incredible.
How did she know, not long after the secret guard left, Chu Xiaoxiang took a deep look at Xia He, who had just died, although this Xia He was dead, but before he died, his only hope for her was to get the legendary rare treasure book.
Chu Xiaoxiang twisted her eyebrows, how could she dare to live up to such a deep expectation on her?
Just as she looked up and looked straight ahead, a huge door that was integrated between heaven and earth came into her eyes.
The door was as high as it reached into the clouds, but if she had guessed correctly, the ancient book should be inside.
With a hint of doubt in her eyes, Chu Xiaoxiang walked towards the giant gate, she raised her eyes and saw that the door was exquisitely made.
Antique, but also with a mysterious atmosphere.
Chu Xiaoxiang carefully observed everything around her, and at the moment when she just raised her eyes, she found that there was a stone tablet standing next to the giant gate, the words on this stone tablet were written in hieroglyphs, but the strokes looked a little similar to the unfinished words left on Ji Range's palm by her imperial brother Ji Ranyu before his death.
Chu Xiaoxiang sniffed, and suddenly had a hint of inspiration in her mind, just when she observed the location of the giant gate just now, she didn't find any special traces, so the mechanism that wanted to open the door would not be on the stone tablet next to her.
Thinking of this, she sighed softly and shouted secretly: "Xia He, if you have a spirit in the sky, bless me and open this giant door!" ”
Sure enough, as she was talking, she heard the sound of fluttering birds spreading their wings in the space above her head.
Chu Xiaoxiang felt that maybe those flying birds were the incarnation of Xia He.
She lowered her head and observed the stele, and at the back of the stele she suddenly noticed that there was a poem written there, and the content of the poem was the "Long Song Xing" written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai: "The peach and plum will bloom in the sun, and the glory will shine on the year." The east wind moves all things, and the plants and trees want to speak. There are no ugly leaves on the dry branches, and the dry water spits out the clear spring. Vigorously transport heaven and earth, Xi and no stop whip. Fame is not early, and the bamboo silk will be declared. Tao Li is young, who can be a day. Wealth and immortals are lost in two ways. The gold and stone are still gone, and the wind and frost have no long-lasting quality. After fearing the sunset and the moon, strong singing and drinking. The autumn frost spared no people, and suddenly invaded the willows. ”
In addition, there was nothing special to be found on this stone tablet, and Chu Xiaoxiang had to carefully consider the words and sentences on the stone tablet with a helpless face.
And just when she looked at it carefully, feeling as if something was about to be discovered, she heard someone on both sides of the Yinyue Palace suddenly shouting: "The palace master said that he would arrest the princess of this Ji Kingdom, and she agreed to the conditions so readily, there must be fraud in it!" ”
Chu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned, and there were some doubts in his heart, why didn't this Shen Yinxin do it when he was in Yinxiang Pavilion, and he had to wait until the time of Yinyue Palace?
But she didn't have time to think too much, she turned to look at Xia He who was lying on the side, she took a deep breath, and suddenly carried him on her shoulder.
Since Xia He is dead, let him be buried in the ground first.
The treasure book here, she will settle Xia He a little later, and then think of other ways.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoxiang carried Xia He towards the extreme west of Yinyue Palace.
Although she didn't know if there would be a door leading to the outside, she knew that as long as she always went in one direction, she would always find a way out.
Chu Xiaoxiang carried Xia He on his shoulder, and after walking for a short time, a palace suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was a bluestone paved road next to the palace.
Where there is a palace, there will definitely be people, but Chu Xiaoxiang didn't have time to say hello to the people there, so he walked straight to the bluestone road on the side.
She followed the bluestone road, and she didn't know how long she walked, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost dark.
Chu Xiaoxiang watched the sun set, but she could only continue to move forward, her heart began to be anxious, and she wanted to give up.
At this time, a vermilion wall suddenly appeared in front of him, and Chu Xiaoxiang carried Xia He on his back without saying a word.
Although the moment she just picked up Xia He, she saw that her body had completely turned black due to poisoning, but Chu Xiaoxiang didn't care about it.
Carrying him on his back, he climbed up to the courtyard wall in front of him, and because of the people behind him, Chu Xiaoxiang's movements looked a little more sluggish.
But she still insisted on gritting her teeth and climbing up the wall, and climbed over the wall, and by the moment Chu Xiaoxiang left the Yinyue Palace, it was already dark outside.
Chu Xiaoxiang looked around, although this was a road next to Yinyue Palace, but fortunately, it looked quite lively, and it didn't take long for Chu Xiaoxiang to find a nearby tavern.
Originally, Chu Xiaoxiang wanted to bury Xia He first, but after being hungry for a day, she didn't have the strength to continue walking, so she had to walk into the tavern first.
It's just that the moment Chu Xiaoxiang first entered the tavern, she was worried in her heart that Xia He's current appearance would frighten the group of people who came to drink.
Chu Xiaoxiang subconsciously walked towards the cloth village next to the tavern, and when she came out again, she had an extra piece of cotton cloth in her hand, and as soon as she raised her hand, she wrapped Xia He's head with the cloth she had newly bought, and spared it next to his neck.
Chu Xiaoxiang took Xia He into the tavern, and when they walked in, the tavern was already bustling.
Seeing the sudden arrival of the distinguished guest, the shopkeeper walked over to entertain with excitement on his face, but when he first saw Xia He, he unconsciously felt a creepy feeling in his heart, and felt strange, so he couldn't help but look at it twice.
At this moment, in front of the shopkeeper, a cold-looking woman carried another tightly wrapped person from top to bottom, and walked straight to an empty table at the outermost part of the tavern.
"Xiao Er, come to a bottle of daughter red, and the remaining silver will have a few butterflies!" Chu Xiaoxiang said, and a full amount of silver taels fell on the table in front of her with a "snap".
The shopkeeper bit down the silver hard, glanced at Chu Xiaoxiang again, and said with an extremely enthusiastic look on his face: "Okay, this girl, you can come when I go!" ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper turned around and went to the kitchen, and before leaving, he didn't forget to take another look at Xia He next to Chu Xiaoxiang.
Chu Xiaoxiang pursed her thin lips lightly, until the shopkeeper brought something to eat and drink, and was about to get up after eating and drinking, when the shopkeeper suddenly became a little curious and watched from afar.
It wasn't until Chu Xiaoxiang was finally about to leave that he came over, and when he saw that Xia He, the shopkeeper coughed lightly, and asked Chu Xiaoxiang: "The girl was originally only in charge of business, but this friend of yours, is he sick?" I see that you don't hold her head and face tightly, and you don't even leave a single seam, will you suffocate her? But it's nothing, it's just that Xiao Er, I happen to know a Lang Zhong here, not far from the neighborhood, and everyone here knows that there is a way to deal with those incurable diseases! ”
Chu Xiaoxiang didn't want to cause trouble, but as soon as she raised her eyes, her eyes noticed Xiao Er in front of her, and there was obviously a glimmer of greed in her eyes.
"Thank you for your kindness, you don't need to worry about Miss Ben's affairs," Chu Xiaoxiang said and was about to put Xia He on his shoulders again, but at this time, Xiao Er still stepped forward politely, until he inadvertently glanced at Xia He.
"Oh my God, could this guy be poisoned? Why is his skin so dark, and he ......?"
When Xiao Er looked at Xia He, he suddenly found something, and he screamed violently: "This person, he's dead?!" ”
Chu Xiaoxiang didn't respond, and dragged Xia He impatiently to leave the tavern, but the guests next to him glanced at Xiao Er, although they were obviously slightly startled by the voice of Xiao Er.
Just when they suddenly turned around, Chu Xiaoxiang quietly left with Xia He, but they didn't see anything, but they were dissatisfied with this little two: "Made, what's wrong?" It's so shocking, it's bad for you to drink, are you going to give us a free order? ”
Xiao Er suddenly came back to his senses from a burst of scolding, and nodded slowly: "I'm sorry, everyone!" I probably didn't see it clearly just now, so I had the illusion! ”
"Made......
Although the surrounding abuse is still coming and going, Xiao Er secretly told himself that it must have been an illusion just now, well, yes, it must be!
Chu Xiaoxiang quickly left the tavern with Xia He, thinking about the scene just now, Chu Xiaoxiang faintly felt that he was almost recognized, and it was really dangerous.
She had just taken a deep breath and stood under a large tree on the side of the road, along with Xia He's corpse.
Because it was the first time she came to the Moon Country, just as Chu Xiaoxiang was looking confused, a swill car passing by the side of the road caught her attention.
Through the coachman, Chu Xiaoxiang found the place where Xia He was buried, and at the same time bought Xia He a stone tomb on the outskirts of the Moon Country.
It's just that after burying Xia He, Chu Xiaoxiang is faced with a new choice again, should he return to Ji Guo or fulfill Xia He's last wish? Chu Xiaoxiang thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was better to choose the former first and return to Ji Guo.
