Chapter 11: Let the Red Lotus Go

In the Realm King's Mansion, Su Zhijing, who had just heard that Xianyunguan had been washed in blood, sat in the lobby with a serious face, as if something big was about to happen.

"Brother Wang, I heard that this time the Western Chu Kingdom sent the crown prince Lin Chengyu, do you have a chance of winning?" Su Zhixi asked.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the war has not yet begun, so it is too early to say whether you will win or lose. However, there is something strange about Xianyunguan, and the sudden disappearance of Princess Yulian must be related to this matter. ”

"Princess Yulian? Is that our aunt? She wasn't given death by her father many years ago, and I go to worship every year. ”

"The fourth brother was not born when my aunt and relatives were married, so I may not be very clear about this matter, but in fact, my father was worried that the Western Chu Kingdom would send troops to our country in the name of repentance, so he gave the dragon seal to my aunt and let my aunt live in seclusion in Xianyunguan."

"So that's the case, I've never heard anyone talk about it, Brother Wang, aren't you worried that I'll leak it out?"

"You are not too young, as the prince of Nanzhao Kingdom, you should share some state affairs for your father."

"My eldest brother doesn't think like this, he always thinks I'm still young, and it's better to teach me all day long, it's better to be your brother."

"My father is seriously ill, my eldest brother is in charge of the country, and he is already under a lot of pressure, and sometimes he talks a little heavily, don't think about it."

"Second brother, don't you really blame the eldest brother at all, this time you sent troops to Xichu, you are the general in front of the emperor, it can be said that he is more than lucky, he has responsibility, why didn't he go by himself."

"It may not be entirely the opinion of the eldest brother, sending troops is not a trivial matter, these auxiliary ministers of the imperial court must have also given their opinions, I am familiar with the situation in the northwest, and it is reasonable to send me troops."

"But what about the second sister-in-law, if she knew that you led the army to destroy her mother country, she would not have to make a fuss with you."

"There is no permanent peace, she is the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, but from the time she and her relatives came to our country, she should know that sooner or later there will be such a situation. As a royal child, who can do whatever he wants. ”

"It's a man, second brother, unlike my eldest brother, who was powerful in front of the family, and was obedient to my sister-in-law."

"I envy him, no matter how majestic he is outside, he can still be his true self when he comes home."

"The previous second sister-in-law was good, but it's a pity that her father was not angry, and he had to join the third brother and the party to fight for the position of the prince, hey."

Until now, as long as anyone mentions Gui Longqin, he has undoubtedly been stabbed in Su Zhijing's heart, but as the prince of Nanzhao Kingdom, he can't show it, so he can only hide this miss deep in his heart.

"Oh, I'm sorry, second brother. I didn't mean to mention the second sister-in-law. ”

"It's okay, it's all over. By the way, Fourth Brother, I have something you need to help me do. ”

"You say, second brother, as long as I can do it, I will do it with all my heart."

"A few days ago, someone washed Xianyunguan in blood, and now my aunt and others are nowhere to be found, I need you to check it secretly, and don't leak out about the fact that my aunt has the dragon's mark on her body."

While he was talking, he only heard someone outside the door announcing that "the eldest prince has arrived".

"Yes, second brother, I'll leave the backyard first, so that the nagging ghost will come to me again in a while." After saying that, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet.

Su Zhijing was still very calm and relaxed, and when he saw Su Zhiheng coming in, he only called his eldest brother, and did not mean to get up. And Su Zhiheng seemed to be used to this way of getting along, and he didn't say much.

"The realm, this expedition is far away, and the enemy is also very ferocious, you have to be more careful, if it weren't for my father's illness and the need for me to supervise the country, it should really be me as the eldest brother in the front."

"Why should the eldest brother be so polite, as the son of my father, it is our duty to share the worries of my father."

"You can think so, I'm really happy to be the eldest brother, but if you want to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the world, you need the dragon seal of your father, and now it's impossible to know the whereabouts of the dragon seal from your father's mouth, do you know its whereabouts now?"

"Big brother said with a smile, I have been on expeditions all year round, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court, so how can I know the whereabouts of the dragon's seal."

Although Su Zhiheng inevitably had some doubts in his heart, he couldn't move the second brother in front of him, after all, Su Zhijing had already made great achievements in battle for so many years, and he said politely that even if there was no dragon seal, as long as Su Zhijing wanted to mobilize no people and horses that could not be transferred, he could only go.

The expedition is imminent, Su Zhijing still decided to go and see the new princess who was locked in the firewood room by herself, although she has no feelings for her, but after all, the other party on this expedition is her home country, Su Zhijing still has some guilt in his heart.

The sunlight shines through the crack in the door of the firewood room, reflecting on the dusty mud floor, and you can clearly see the dust floating in the air. Even in this dirty and messy environment, the new princess can still maintain a good attitude, calmly sitting cross-legged on the mat, holding Buddhist beads in her hands, and silently reciting something in her mouth.

"Won't the prince go in?" Twilight asked.

"If you still have important things to deal with, you won't go in."

Su Zhijing, who had already walked a few steps, turned his head and said to Twilight, "Let her go, let her do what she wants, and never come back." ”

"It's the king"

He still can't do anything about this new princess after all, maybe letting her go is the only thing he can do for her.

Su Zhijing, who walked out of the palace, did not go to the military aircraft, but came to Gui Longqin's mound alone, and carefully wiped the tombstone.

"In the past, you waited for me to come back in the palace, if I can't come back this time, I will bury myself here, if you are willing to come back, come and see me, okay?"

Maybe only in this Su realm is you completely true yourself, daring to show the weakest side of your heart. It's just that the person who knows him best in the world has been lost by him, and he may never come back.

Time is running fast, tomorrow is the official day of the expedition, Xiaobao looked at Gui Longqin before setting off.

"Lichen, didn't you always say that I wouldn't take you out, it's good for me to take you somewhere this time."

"Really? That's really nice. But my eyes will not delay you. ”

"Don't worry about this, I've been looking for a famous doctor in the past few days, and finally found a medicine that can cure your eye disease, with it, your eyes can see." Lin Chengyu put the two pills in Gui Longqin's hands.

"Do you know what my greatest wish is? When my eyes can see, what I want to see most is you and Mingyue, we have never known each other, thank you for everything you have done for me"

Gui Longqin trembled his hands and swallowed the medicine.

After a quarter of an hour, the sight in his eyes changed from dark to bright, the color changed from black and white to color, and gradually the appearance of Lin Chengyu in front of him came into view so clearly.
