Chapter 276
The clear voice, from between the lips of the woman's cherry blossoms, is like a spring water, slowly pouring out, "I have heard for a long time that the seven princesses of the northern country have an elegant temperament, they are talented and beautiful, and their beauty is unmatched. ”
Mu Qing looked at her again: "I don't know what to call the girl?" ”
The girl in front of her, with small lips, a straight nose, some blackened eyes, a pair of water-cut eyes, slender eyebrows and picturesque tails, is elegant and a little charming.
"I'm the daughter of the big clan Lao Mingjiang, don't dare to call me, call me Mingyue."
's hearty and straightforward temperament made Mu Qing smile openly: "It's good to be able to come and go freely!" ”
Mingyue did not shy away from it: "You are the descendant of the Holy Maiden clan, because the Holy Maiden ran away back then, you will not look back, and the Gate of the Witch Gu has suffered heavy losses, if you can come back, you will naturally treat it as a treasure and look at it strictly, so as not to lose it." ”
"I've just arrived, everything in Nansheng Country is very unfamiliar, even if I go out, where can I go?" What Mu Qing said was the truth, the land of Nansheng was vast and sparsely populated, especially the Witch Gu Gate, which had many organs.
Mingyue's eyes flashed with a mysterious light, and she whispered: "Your man is here, just outside, but unfortunately there are many mechanisms in the Witch Gu Gate, and they can't understand it, so it is naturally difficult to get in." ”
Mu Qing's eyes were misty, it was grateful, excited, and maybe unbearable, he still came after all.
"That's not all, your northern country used the excuse to send troops to the Mexican country, the two sides are tense, there is a big disagreement, the posture of starting a war immediately, the uncle of the Jing Emperor of the southern Shengguo came back, everyone talked about it, thinking that it was a military arrangement, and I didn't want people to resign, and there are people in the southern Shengguo who are ready to move, worried about the intentions of the northern country, not only the Mexican country."
"Don't go out easily, because it may become a handle for Nan Sheng Guo to threaten the North Country in his hands, so that Nan Sheng Guo can escape smoothly." Mingyue disdained the act of taking a woman hostage, and helplessly, Nanshengguo could not resist the attack of the northern kingdom at all.
Mu Qing covered her red lips and smiled softly, originally she was so valuable, as far as Beiguo was concerned, her existence was an excuse, as long as she could find a reason to go to war, her life and death did not matter.
If it was Mu Qing in the past, she might be sad, but she was not, she had already seen it, the friendship between the queen mother and her younger brother was true, but the royal affection was insignificant in front of interests.
Hearing that the high priest was invited, Mingyue volunteered to accompany Mu Qing to come, the elders of the four major clans of the Witch Gu Gate all have wives, but Mingjiang has a daughter, and the other three have no heirs, the high priest is selected from the juniors, and the high priest is not allowed to marry in his life.
Mingyue is the only baby bump of this generation, and she has developed an unrestrained and lawless temperament since she was a child, but she is kind in nature and will not deliberately embarrass others.
It is also due to the fact that no one among the elders of the Witch Gu clan can become the head of the next generation, and the high priest has accepted several apprentices, among whom the second apprentice is particularly prominent, whether it is kung fu or academics, he is the best among his peers.
There is an unwritten rule in the local area, marry someone not to marry the door of the witch, marry a wife not to marry the daughter of the witch, it can be seen that the door of the witch Gu is prevalent in the Nansheng country, and even the royal family has to rely on three points, but the common people still like to be bright and upright, and do not like the nature of insidious calculation.
It was the second apprentice who came to pass the word just now, Mingyue pouted, looking very disgusted. Mu Qing raised his eyes to look at the young man in front of him, his eyebrows were like bamboo, his eyes were like combs, his forehead was full, and the bridge of his nose was straight and handsome.
"Senior sister, great elder, let someone bring a lot of fresh fruits from the bottom of the mountain, and after a while, senior brother will send it to you when he is free."
Mingyue refused without thinking: "Excuse me, I don't dare to work hard for you, not to mention that this girl has hands and feet, and my Witch Gu Gate has always asked for self-reliance." ”
The second apprentice was embarrassed, but he didn't think so, just smiled faintly.
When Mu Qing stepped into the main hall, the lights were bright, and it was strange to say, the council hall of the Witch Gu Gate was underground, and many alchemy rooms and rooms were underground, every day, in addition to studying schoolwork, everyone would take time to bask in the sun on the ground, breathe fresh air, and stay obediently underground the rest of the time.
This kind of life inexplicably depresses Mu Qing, she likes the sun, especially when she is warmly bathed in the sun, she feels a strong sense of satisfaction in her heart.
"You haven't made any progress in your studies lately, and you have no experience in pill making, do you have any ways to improve?" The high priest went straight to the point, and did not shy away from the presence of the second junior brother at all.
Mu Qing didn't mind, the high priest was in a hurry to make some kind of pill, but she was still not qualified in medicine and had no interest in it, so she couldn't enter the door at all.
"At the beginning, Mu Qing once said to the high priest that he knew a little about medicine because he had been sick for many years. And learning pharmacology and dispensing pills, Mu Qing had no interest, and he didn't think to mention interest. Since the terms of exchange with the high priest have been made, they will naturally fulfill their promises, and the rest are not the requirements that Mu Qing can reach, and the high priest should also know that a gentleman is never strong. ”
Mu Qing's answer was reasonable, his thinking was tight, and Mingyue shouted a good word in her heart. The high priest is too strict on weekdays, that is, she is often taught, but Mingyue just doesn't like this dark life in her bones, she likes the sunshine like Mu Qing, she wants to find happiness in the bright light.
At Mingyue's age, she has already started a family in Nanshengguo, even if she is reluctant to marry her daughter early, the marriage is also decided. But Mingyue couldn't wait, because she was a member of the Witch Gate, a good man from an ordinary family, he would rather never marry her than marry her into the door, and she was stumbling day by day.
Several clan elders were very uncomfortable to listen to, in the Witch Gu Gate, no one dared to openly stand up and disobey their intentions.
Ming Jiang put the teacup on the table heavily: "Since you are the holy maiden of the Witch Gu Gate, you should fulfill your duties and weigh the gains and losses for the benefit of the Witch Gu Gate, where is it still as casual as when you were a princess." ”
Mu Qing still looked neither humble nor arrogant: "I never think of myself as a princess, if I can choose to be born, I like to grow up in an ordinary people's home, running around for three meals, at least, I live a real life and live freely." ”
She turned sideways and faced the high priest directly: "At the beginning, the high priest invited me to come to the gate of the witch, but he did not say that he was a holy woman, I never thought of entering the gate of the witch, you refer to the deer as a horse, justify yourself, and impose it on others, high priest, your request is too much." ”
Mu Qing's righteous words are reasonable. The High Priest didn't intend to let her go, after all, no one could let go of the Witch Gate and let him go as the High Priest.
"The old man's words don't quite understand, the Witch Gu Gate is in urgent need of a pill now, since the Holy Maiden has arrived at the Witch Gu Gate, she should perform her duties, so she pushes back and stops, but I feel that the old man has already let you achieve what you want, so you can be unscrupulous."
Mingyue secretly said that it was not good, once the high priest spoke like this, he would definitely leave his hand behind. Mu Qing thought about this kind of ending, the emperor of the northern kingdom is insidious and cunning, and he has always been calculating. 400
Mu Qing had grown up in that environment for several years, and had been betrayed by her relatives many times, and the high priest's behavior could not stimulate her.
"Isn't the War King already here? I also thought clearly, instead of living a life I don't like, it is better to go to the Yellow Springs together and ask the high priest to fulfill it. ”
This girl is powerful enough, and the high priest laughs instead of being angry.
The doorman ran in from outside: "High Priest, the Empress Dowager is invited." ”
Ming Jiang became more and more unable to see through, what did the Empress Dowager want to do, she used the Witch Gu Gate as a knife again and again, it was really hateful.
The high priest looked at the red carpet, the red dress was fluttering, the ink hair was shiny and high, and there was no decoration except the hosta, but it was still beautiful, elegant and noble.
Since Mu Qing has arrived at the Gate of Witch Gu, she is a saint, even if the Empress Dowager wants to take action, she has to weigh it, if the Gate of Witch Gu can't even protect the saint, wouldn't it be a joke.
The Empress Dowager sat down in a luxurious position, and the high priest slowly stepped aside, lifted her robe, sat down steadily, closed her eyes, and did not speak for a long time.
"The high priest is very busy when he comes back, he has invited you to the palace for tea several times, but he has not arrived for a long time, and the mourning family feels that this day is going to change."
The meaning of these words is clearly counting the high priest's intention to usurp the throne, if others hear it, they may be sincerely frightened, and quickly bow their heads to explain.
The high priest took two sips of water from the gourd on his waist and twisted his goatee: "Since the empress dowager knows that there are many things in the door, and the old decay has been away for a long time, it is more cumbersome to deal with, so it naturally takes energy and time, how can I still rush into the palace like this, after all, this is the place where the imperial power is in power, and it is in the way of my witchcraft." ”
In the main hall, there was silence, and the empress dowager looked at the high priest fixedly, as if she wanted to make a hole in him before she would stop.
However, the high priest was leisurely, drinking the small wine in the gourd, tasting the tune, and looking happy and happy, which really made the Queen Mother hate the root of her teeth.
"High Priest, since they are all old acquaintances, the mourning family doesn't have to go around the bend, I heard that the seven princesses of the northern kingdom are at the gate of the witch Gu?"
"The Witch Gu Gate never allows royal people, I don't know where the Queen Mother heard about it, it's so unreliable."
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, got up, slowly descended the steps, and walked in front of the high priest step by step, looking at him coldly with a condescending attitude: "Mu Qing, isn't it the princess of the northern country?" ”
"If the Empress Dowager asks Mu Qing, the old man can tell you that she is the holy daughter of the Witch Gu Gate and has nothing to do with the royal family of the Northern Kingdom."
After the high priest finished speaking categorically, he put away the gourd and continued to pin it to his waist, "What is the important matter of the Empress Dowager?" Uncle Jing Huang hurried out of the city, it can be seen that the toxins on his body are much lighter, and the old decay has to rush to see, why can the divine cure the Gu poison that the Witch Gu Gate is helpless. ”
"High Priest, Mu Qing is the princess of the northern country, her identity cannot be changed anywhere, and the emperor wants to choose the queen, she is undoubtedly the most suitable person."
"Ridiculous, even if Mu Qing is not the holy daughter of my Witch Gu Gate, she is also the daughter-in-law of the war king of the Mexican Kingdom, is it possible that the emperor still likes to occupy the magpie's nest."
The Empress Dowager's face turned pale: "The high priest doesn't have to answer in a hurry, the Witch Gu Gate wants to mourn the family and return it, after going back, after thinking about it, you can naturally offer your conditions." ”
After several days and nights, when he saw the figure from afar, Uncle Jinghuang's heart beat violently, and he hid under the tree and watched, until Aunt Ling's body turned around, with a smile, and whispered to Mi'er.
It was as if someone was stuck in his throat, and he even felt like he would suffocate in the next second. He stayed on the horse suddenly, flew on the horse, and the wheelchair didn't have time to be put away, Changying was in a hurry, and Changyang quickly got up and followed.
Everything happened too suddenly, Mi'er and the fairy were still running happily, looking up, where was Aunt Ling's figure, the dust brought up by the horse's hooves was flying, causing Mi'er to choke for a while.
Aunt Ling rushed to the heavens and the earth, and when she looked back, the face that had been engraved in her memory when she dreamed back at midnight appeared vividly in front of her.
She stretched out her white jade hand and stroked Uncle Jinghuang's face, but her hands were wet, the man's face was full of tears, his eyes were facing each other, Uncle Jinghuang pressed down, and finally touched the red lips that he thought about at night, weak and weak, just like at the beginning.
The heart is like being thrown into the mire, sullen, and painful to death.
Aunt Ling smiled, the corners of his warm lips hooked an inexplicable smile, and he stared deeply at the woman sitting beside him, the only woman he loved deeply in his life.
"Let me go, someone who has already died once, do you really hate me to the bone and want me to die again."
Aunt Ling was not shocked, neither salty nor light, and the two fluttering sentences were like a heavy hammer blowing up Uncle Jinghuang's heart.
Sharp eyes are heavy, like a boundless storm, rough palms, attached to her delicate face, when she wants to escape from his embrace, she does not hesitate to tightly circle her in her arms, "You have been missing for all these years, I am alive like a walking corpse, how can you bear to leave me, so many years, you have seen it, our daughter has grown up, slim, it's so good." ”
He said to himself, but Aunt Ling was unmoved: "The regent of Nansheng Guotang, shouldn't he rob people on the street." As early as seventeen years ago, when you left our mother and daughter to pursue your supreme power, your fate was exhausted, so why bother to pretend to make such a moving scene. ”
When the horse stopped, Aunt Ling took advantage of Uncle Jinghuang'er's stunned kung fu to break free from his embrace, jumped off the horse, and strode in the direction she came.
Uncle Jing Huang stopped her, "I was really helpless to leave at the beginning, but I never thought of leaving you behind, after dealing with things, when I rushed back, you had already fallen off the cliff, I went to the cliff for a long time, but I didn't find it." ”
Changying fortunately arrived in time, and Uncle Jinghuang, who got off the horse, was very embarrassed, but fortunately, Changying brought a wheelchair, so that he could barely regain some dignity.
