Chapter 147: Ancient Legends
"What, aren't you happy?"
After Wanqiu left, Miyahata slowly walked up to me and smiled warmly at me. Seeing his smile, my tiredness also dissipated a little, and I smiled and took his hand. He sat down on the stone bench where I was sitting and pulled me into his arms.
"What..."My face suddenly became a little hot, "Aunt Hua, they are all upstairs......"
"It's not uncommon for them to see us." Miyahata rubbed the back of my neck with his face and whispered in my ear, "Come on, who upset you?" β
I sat on his lap and twisted up, feeling like I had broken a honey pot: "Who else, how can I be happy with everyone's attitude towards you?" β
"So, did I upset you?"
"How do you say that?"
"Miss Wanqiu also said, everyone hopes that you can be happy. So their attitude towards me is naturally not believing that I can make you happy. β
"Did you hear that?"
"What about you, Hotaru?" Miyahata's lips touched my earlobe, "Do you believe we will be happy?" β
"Where else can I think about happiness at the moment, there are palace curtains outside, and everyone around me is not satisfied." I sighed and rested my head on Miyahata's shoulder, "Sometimes I feel really tired, if only time could stand still in this moment, I could always lean on you like this." β
I looked up at the starry sky, the dark night sky was full of stars, as if the peach blossoms were blooming in advance, shining among the dry branches of the old peach trees.
"It's me who is useless."
I slowly turned to Miyahata, my eyelashes rubbing against his angular jaw: "What's the matter......"
"Nothing, everything will be fine." Miyahata breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and rubbed his lips against my nose, "I'll tell you a story!" β
"You can tell stories?"
"It's not a story, it's just a folklore that I heard from the palace people when I was a child." Miyahata smiled at me like a spring breeze and gentle, "Do you want to listen?" β
Feeling his moist and warm breath on my face, my heart had already softened, so I snuggled my head to his throat and blinked my eyes to show that I was willing.
"In ancient times, there were four heavenly gods, the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu, who ruled the heavenly realm. Each of the four people has one house, one house and seven nights, and they are balanced and endless. From time to time, the god Suzaku had delusions and privately created time and space, intending to expand the star field and dominate the universe. The heavenly realm was unbalanced, and the other three heavenly gods were horrified, so they attacked it in groups. β
"Stop, stop, since it is the god of maintaining the peace of the universe, how can Suzaku fight with the other three gods, your story is so mysterious, it is fake when you hear it!"
"It's all said to be folklore, of course it's mysterious." Miyahata shook his legs again and again, shaking my buttocks: "Can you please stop interjecting?" β
"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, can't I... You continue. β
"Suzaku alone was defeated by the Blue Dragon White Tiger and Xuanwu, was seriously injured, and fell into the stars that he had privately created. Before he fell unconscious, he used the only remaining mana to transform himself into the form of a teenager. Miyahata's voice echoed softly in his ears, making people feel crisp when he heard it, "When he woke up, he found himself lying in the mortal world. It turned out that he fell in the imperial garden of the desert country that day, and was rescued by the princess of the desert country, Jia Luo. β
"Moguo? Is it the desert country that is now at war with us? β
"I guess so. The ancient desert is the oldest dynasty in the Central Plains, and all the ancient legends originated from them. β
"So according to the legend, this time and space, this civilization, is it a parallel time and space created by Suzaku?"
"What time and space, I don't understand what you're saying..."Miyahata sneered lightly, and continued to put her chin on my head, "Princess Garo was born with a strange fragrance, and she was the most beautiful woman in the world at that time. In the days of recuperation, the princess gave a heart to this handsome young man. And Suzaku also fell in love with this beautiful life-saving benefactor, and slowly buried the enmity of the past heavenly realm and his own greed in the depths of his heart, and decided to stay with the princess. β
"That's nice......"
"But the good times didn't last long, the princess was no better than the Vermilion Bird, an immortal immortal, and finally grew old and died after decades of sweet time. The Suzaku god, who was accustomed to calling for wind and rain, was greatly saddened and unwilling to accept the cruel fate. Finally, one day when he couldn't stand the pain of longing, he used the Dafa of Soul Condensation, which violated the way of heaven, to pick the soul of a hundred flowers, trying to refine the soul with the same fragrance as Princess Jialuo. However, even if he picked all the flowers in the world, he never got the same fragrance as the princess. And the soul of a hundred flowers refined by him, although it has the appearance of a princess, it does not have the soul of a princess. Suzaku faced this sad face every day, and finally one day, in a fit of rage, he flapped his wings and returned to the heavenly realm. β
"Gone? What about the soul of a hundred flowers? β
"She has a name, called incense, which means 'accompanying', which is the beautiful vision of Suzaku. However, after the incense was abandoned by Suzaku, he was jealous of the flowers and gradually fell into the devil's path. She resents Suzaku, resents him for creating himself and abandoning himself in this world full of malice towards her. So the incense made a curse - she parasitized the princesses for generations, so that each princess had the same appearance as her and Princess Garo. As long as Suzaku sees it, he will fall in love with the young princess, and in the end, he will find that the person in front of him is not the Gara of the past, and he will always be tormented by lovesickness. β
"What a poisonous plan, there is nothing more painful in the world than this." I sighed, "It's just that in this way, there are two countries in the world that are indifferent to each other, and there are not two princesses who look exactly the same?" β
"The new emperor of Modu Ling'an ascended the throne, and he has no palace dependents, and he has not heard of any sisters left to him by his father. As for our Karishu..."Miyahata flashed his eyelashes, "You know how many of us brothers are. β
"Yes, a few big brothers are already so difficult to deal with, if there are a few more beautiful sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law, I will be more and more unable to stay in your palace family!"
"You are in the Prince's Mansion now, he treats you very well, why can't you stay?"
"Okay, you have no conscience, which eye of yours saw me in the Prince's Mansion?" I pounded Gong Hong's chest and laughed, "It's hard for me to guard your innocence in that tiger and wolf den, and you still arrange me like this!" β
"Don't dare, sister-in-law, spare your life!" Gong Wan laughed bitterly, "Last time I was injured by you on Changning Street, do you have to kill your uncle to be willing?" β
"Good! Begging for mercy while talking! Look at me if I don't give you some color today! β
I added more and more strength to my hands, and the palace flag squeaked and dodged left and right, and kissed me while I was not paying attention.
"βYou rascal! This man comes and goes......"
Where is the palace flag willing to pay attention, more and more gnawed on my face, this can be replaced by me begging for mercy. However, before I could say anything, Miyahata suddenly let go of my head and raised his face violently.
"How..."
I opened my eyes a little confused, but I saw a pair of dark eyes shining with horror in the night, and my constricted pupils trembled slightly, looking straight at a certain place on the upper floors of the back building.
My heart suddenly tightened, and I followed Miyahata's dull gaze, but I saw an open window on the fourth floor, and a man came out of the room and glanced down, muttering something on one wall and closing the window on the other.
"What... Miyahata? β
"It's Li Yuan."
"Li Yuan? Who is Li Yuan? β
"Outside the members of the Sixth Grade Rite Department, Hou Ye's old protΓ©gΓ©." Miyahata slowly moved his frightened gaze to me, "He's the eldest brother's man. β
I almost got up from Miyahata's arms, and suddenly I was blown goosebumps by the night wind. We looked at each other mechanically for a moment, and then we all ran towards the entrance of the building.
Running up to the fourth floor, I found the room with the window and broke in, only a man with loose clothes and loose sideburns couldn't help but scream when he saw me and Miyahata breaking in with a fierce face.
"Where's the guy just now?"
"Li Yuanwai..."The man didn't realize that I had this question, and he stammered a little in fright, "He said that the room was too stuffy to breathe, but somehow... The window was opened, and the man left. β
I froze where I was, and the flags behind me rushed downstairs like a bolt of lightning. After a while, I hurried downstairs, but I saw that in addition to the palace flags, there was half a figure in the vast courtyard?
"I'm supposed to stay downstairs." The palace flags were all stiff, and a cold sweat oozed from their foreheads, "He must have been hiding on the second and third floors, and when we ran up, he sneaked out." β
"That's... Chase! β
"It's too late..."
"How's that going to be!" I heard my voice tremble, "He will definitely report to the Prince's Mansion!" β
"If I were him, I would have wanted to go to the prince's mansion as soon as I found out that the prince who was supposed to go south was with the crown princess." Gong Wan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Then if he expects that we know his thoughts, he will be afraid that we will intercept him on the road to the prince's mansion." β
"You mean, he won't go to the Prince's Mansion?" I was in a state of confusion, "Is it possible... Could it be that he still has to go to the palace! β
"The palace gate has already been keyed, and it is a felony to break into the palace at this time. Li Yuan has no evidence, so he shouldn't dare to break into the palace rashly. β
"You're not him, how would you know! No way... It's better to quickly call someone to ambush at the gate of the palace and the gate of the prince's mansion, and immediately detain someone when you see someone! β
"The palace gate is tightly guarded, and it is inevitable to send someone to point out at this time, once it is detected by the palace, it will give Li Yuan ironclad evidence to report us!" Miyahata's voice was calm, and his pupils no longer trembled violently like Shicai, "No matter where he wants to go, he should return to his house tonight, and when tomorrow is daytime, we don't dare to intercept people on the street, and he will sue openly." β
"Tomorrow... Are you sure? β
"If you are not sure, you must be sure." Miyahata's eyes were as firm as a mountain when he looked at me, "People have been running out for so long, and we have been passive. If we don't get back a city tomorrow, I'm afraid that there will be no place for you and me to stand in Kazhou. β
Miyahata's face reflected the dim candle flame in the corridor of the back building, showing a hint of darkness and weirdness. The night wind blew the flames uneasily, and I seemed to see in a trance that some kind of wild green flame seemed to be burning in his eyes.
