293 She's ......
In fact, it was just a joke, the endless road in the night seemed a little boring, but Murong Tianlian's hand around her was tight, and a slightly hot breath brushed in her ears, "You won't die." [No pop-ups. 】”
Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, and then looked at the dark road in the distance, the rugged and bumpy mountain road was endless, she smiled softly, "Yes, I won't die, I'm so kind and so good, where is God willing to take my life"
She won't die, Beigong Yu won't die, they all have to live well.
When the dust settles on the totem matter, and the miasma on Beigong Yu's body is resolved, nothing in this world has anything to do with them anymore, they are fine, she still wants to go back to the palace with Beigong Yu to be the queen above the ten thousand people under that person.
You can't be free on the rivers and lakes, but it's also extremely majestic.
Not long after the words were finished, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of a very serious question, "Ah, green peacock, Xia Yingxi used to be a person from your Red Kelou, you don't want me to go to Xuanlianhua, could it be that the two of you are plotting something, I know that I know and want to stop me!" ”
"What are you the owner of this building? Will you be disdainful of being in her company? Murong Tianlian sneered, and resumed his tone of disdain.
Xia Xiaoxiao pursed the corners of her mouth, she just said casually, Xia Yingxi is her only sister, even if there was almost no communication between the two when they were in Xia Mansion, the only thing I remember deeply is the scene when she came to the mansion with Second Mrs. Xia, she followed her sister behind her and called out.
Later, it was that time that she pushed Xia Yingxi off the roof.
She didn't even know when Xia Yingxi started working in the Red Kelou, and she became the four protectors under Murong Tianlian.
"Hey, green peacock, what is the lingering in your eyes?"
The sister she remembered who was only obedient and didn't even dare to speak loudly, Xia Xiaoxiao still couldn't imagine how she would kill people in the Red Guest Building, let alone imagine that she would have so many calculations in her heart.
But he didn't want to describe only two simple and clear words from Murong Tianlian's mouth, "Talented and intelligent, to be considered a jade." ”
"What are you talking about? Wen, or Wu? ”
Xia Xiaoxiao was shocked at this time, but he didn't expect such an evaluation from a picky person like Murong Tianlian.
"Both."
Murong Tinglian glanced at her, obviously seeing the envy in her eyes, and said lightly, "She found the Red Kelou at the age of six to worship the master of the building as a teacher, and it took four years to get to the position of the four protectors, and then left the Red Kelou when she was eleven years old, it is undeniable that she was indeed the best knife in the Red Kelou in those years." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "In that case, why did she leave the Red Kelou?" ”
Murong Tinglian looked down at her and pursed her lips, "She wants to go back to the place she wants to go back to." ”
This is what Xia Yingxi said back then, at that time, even he didn't know where Xia Yingxi wanted to go back, Beigong Yu found out that Xia Yingxi betrayed the Red Guest Building, but she didn't know that she was banished by him.
Looking at the long night, Xia Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't ask anything.
Murong Tinglian said that Xia Yingxi worshipped him as a teacher at the age of six, how old was he at that time?
The deep night faded, and the end of the sky was white, and the birds began to sing in the branches, making pleasant sounds.
Xuanlianhua is a strange place of the Jin Kingdom, it takes more than a month to travel from Fenghuai Town, and it is rumored from Xuanlianhua that Kou Island has sunk under the sea after 700 years today, and only at the end of 9 o'clock on the night of September 9 can the sea water drop the direction of Kou Island, Xia Xiaoxiao and Murong Tianlian must arrive before that, regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, they must arrive first to know.
One night was enough time for Xia Xiaoxiao and the two to drive out of Fenghuai Town overnight.
Since the Jin Kingdom was recovered by Beigong Yu, Beigong Yu built a waterway on the road from Yuehua to the Jin Kingdom, which was also the fastest shortcut to Xuanlianhua.
It was still early in the morning, and at the same time, in order to save trouble and hide people's eyes, Xia Xiaoxiao still decided to take a boat with those merchants who went to Xuanlianhua to do business, and the people who came and went around were also very lively in the early morning.
"Five hours have passed, and I don't know if Beigong Yu has woken up."
Xia Xiaoxiao stood on the pier, watching the boatman sort out the departure matters, and a gust of cold wind blew over, a little cool.
"Beigong Yu who you can think of can't think of it, you haven't thought of going to Xuanlianhua with him?"
Murong Tinglian stood behind her, his eyes also looking at the sea that was not visible in the distance.
The method of immortality, the poison of Daigo Miasma cannot be solved, then this is the only remaining detoxification method, the original Beigong Pheasant Li planned to take this road, but he never thought that Xia Xiaoxiao would trade with Murong Tianlian to get the only antidote.
Not to mention that Beigong Yu himself has his own purpose and intends to go to Xuanlianhua.
"Hey" Xia Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh, "If it is possible, I want to, but he won't agree." ”
The miasma on Beigong Yu's body was originally caused by the fragrance of Yun Qingxiang on her body, not to mention that he also guessed that Xia Yingxi wanted to lure her to Xuanlianhua, so he had already decided to return to the palace the moment she appeared, no matter what, Xia Xiaoxiao knew that he would not allow her to take such an adventure.
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't think there was anything before, and she didn't know what the danger she needed to face in front of her, but after coming out of the imperial tomb, it seemed that something had become different.
The blood on her body, the Ze Yi in her dreams, and the person in her memory, Shen Moqi.
"I guess there's something he's afraid of."
And that thing must have something to do with her.
Xia Xiaoxiao sighed again, the boatman had already packed up his things, shouted on the huge merchant ship, and the people who had been waiting for a long time all went to the ship.
Xia Xiaoxiao took Murong Tianlian's hand, "Let's go too, the boat should leave later." ”
Murong Tinglian's gaze paused on her hand holding him, and his eyes swept slightly in one direction, and on the shore, the figure of Hong Lian leading the horse gradually disappeared from sight.
After all, the journey to Xuan Lianhua was too long, and even the boats were pitiful, so at this moment, the people on the boat swarmed up, and Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't find a place to insert his feet in.
"Yes."
When Xia Xiaoxiao was annoyed, Murong Tianlian had already turned around, clasped Xia Xiaoxiao with his backhand, and the other hand had already reached her waist, with a light toe, and performed light skills, and in the blink of an eye, the figures of the two had fallen to the bow of the boat.
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the changing scene in front of her and was startled for a while, until Murong Tinglian gently put her down, she saw those people who were still poking their heads under the boat and casting envious glances at them, and smiled at Murong Tinglian, "Ah, why didn't I expect that your kung fu is really good!" ”
"Childe, now the date of the fall tide in Xuanlianhua is approaching, but so far there is still no other movement except for the groundless rumors, not to mention Kou Island, even the treasure mentioned in the rumors has not been seen at all, let's go like this If someone just spreads rumors out of thin air"
Before Xia Xiaoxiao's words fell, he heard a whispered conversation from a corner of the deck, Xia Xiaoxiao immediately closed his voice and glanced at Murong Tianlian.
"Rumors out of thin air? It also depends on who has the ability to make this rumor so powerful. ”
The other sneered, "For example, who doesn't know that Emperor Yue Hua and Emperor Nanming have two pairs of totems in their hands and one pair of totems?" According to reliable sources, Emperor Yue Hua is now in Fenghuai Town, and the soldiers and horses that Emperor Nanming has also gathered are on the way to Xuanlianhua, whether it is a rumor or not, since they have all set off, then why not let us go to explore the truth? ”
"But Childe, that totem is just a legendary thing in the end, and there are not many people who have even seen it in what it looks like, so how can you conclude that there really exists that thing?"
"You don't know, it's because you're lonely." The man paused, and his voice was quieter, "Don't you know that the sudden collapse of the century-old imperial tomb of the Nanming Kingdom two years ago was the ghost of this totem?" Now that the two pairs in the hands of Emperor Yue Hua are gone, one pair in the hands of Emperor Nanming, and one pair is in the hands of Murong Tianlian, the fearsome owner of the Red Guest House on the rivers and lakes, there is also one of them, what do you think can be fake? ”
The man let out a low sneer, and many people had gradually come up under the boat, and the voices of the two of them were retracted and hidden in the crowd.
Xia Xiaoxiao looked up at Murong Tinglian, who was standing silently beside him, "I didn't expect your reputation in the rivers and lakes to be quite good." ”
It turns out that everything that came into his hands was real? That's a real reason.
Murong Tinglian glanced at her lightly, turned around and went to the boat, "Shouldn't he have three in his hand now?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao was just about to catch up with the steps paused, but the moment she lost her mind slightly, the others had already walked a long way, and she hurriedly raised her steps to catch up, "What happened last night, how can you know so quickly?" ”
The long-distance boat, there is a small room inside, Murong Tianlian opened the curtain and walked in, Xia Xiaoxiao's face flashed a trace of surprise, "Ah, green peacock, do you have eyeliner next to him!" ”
"The owner of the building is not interested in his affairs."
He found a place by the window and sat down, the boat opened, and there was a salty smell of the sea breeze floating in, and he took a sip of herbal tea before he said lightly, "It's just according to your temperament, it's not difficult to guess." ”
"Cut."
Xia Xiaoxiao snorted lightly, and sat down as well, letting the cool breeze outside hit her face, and she called him, "Hey, green peacock." ”
"Hmm."
Murong Tinglian also responded lightly.
"You told me something about that man, tell me all about him today."
She looked out the window, the waves on the sea raised by the wind were shining with silver light little by little, and the road to Xuanlianhua was too long.
Murong poured his tea, and his face quickly returned to that indifference, and asked her, "Who?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao knew that he knew who she was talking about, and smiled, "Jiang Zeyi." ”
This time, Xia Xiaoxiao saw Murong pouring half of the tea and putting it back again, and raised his head to look at her, "What do you want to know about her?" ”
"Yes," she said, staring at him with her chin propped up in her hands, as if she was about to start listening to the story, "tell me all about it, you know." ”
Xuan Lianhua, Kou Island, who disappeared in the Great War seven hundred years ago, Xia Yingxi said that there was a connection between them, and she knew it.
For some reason, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the scene that came to his mind, on the edge of the cliff of the island, the man was dressed in white, and his voice was loud in his ears, and the woman was graceful and beautiful, as if the beginning of everything originated there.
Unhurriedly handed the teacup to his mouth, his eyes finally fell on the clear tea, the corners of his mouth slowly rose a touch of arc, and the tip of his tongue spread the bitterness of tea, "She"
Seven hundred years ago, the world was unified for hundreds of years, the prosperous world was healthy, and the world was peaceful, but it also responded to the saying that the world must be united for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time.
Emperor Xuanjing Shen Moqi ascended the throne at the age of seven, and at the age of twenty, he grasped the power of the world, and until that moment, the world was still stable.
But it didn't take long, and he went to the royal family to invite the ** master of the Buddhist temple to come and cast the spell, and said a proverb that there are demon girls in the world who will appear in the world in trouble.
Born on Ko Island, raised on Ko Island, and also died on Ko Island, a woman on Ko Island, Jiang Zeyi.
Seven hundred years ago, Kou Island was an isolated village, surrounded by the coast, inconvenient to travel, there were hundreds of families living in a village, although poor, but stable and harmonious, no quarrel with the world, Jiang Zeyi is just an ordinary woman, the only difference is that she has no father and mother since she was a child, she has been crawling and rolling in the village since she was a child until she was fourteen years old, and she can finally get out of the island day, she went to the most prosperous place in the world.
When Jiang Zeyi returned to Kou Island, he was picked up, and Kou Island was not called Kou Island at that time, but it was just a nameless island.
Later, when Jiang Zeyi woke up from a coma, maybe he was stimulated by something, maybe he felt the horror of poverty, with his kung fu since he was a child, it took two years to turn the island where hundreds of families are located into a den of robbers, as long as he is willing, as long as he is born and raised on Kou Island, he can become a member of the bandits under her command, and since then every household on the entire island has lived a small family life of peace and well-being, but this stability and wealth all come from the people on the island to loot and plunder on land.
This matter soon spread to the ears and eyes of the imperial court, and it was also at that time when bandits and robbers were prevalent everywhere in the country, Emperor Xuanjing paid a private visit, and was near Xuanlianhua, so he ignored the advice of the ministers and personally went to the island to catch it all.
That is, Emperor Xuanjing's trip to the island this time, he accidentally discovered the totem in the hands of Jiang Zeyi and got it from nowhere, because the world was gradually in turmoil and had disturbed Emperor Xuanjing's heart, so he planned to get the totem from Jiang Zeyi's hands to settle down again.
Jiang Zeyi didn't know what Shen Moqi was thinking about, but he fell in love with Emperor Xuanjing during the period, and finally voluntarily surrendered to the imperial court, and returned to the imperial city with Emperor Xuanjing, became a concubine, and collected thousands of favors in his life.
But the good times didn't last long, the border was full of pirates, the court traitors plotted against each other, the locust plague, the plague spread, and rumors spread all over the world, all saying that Emperor Xuanjing brought a demon girl back to the court, in response to the words of the mage two years ago, the only thing that Emperor Xuanjing thought of at that time was to speed up and get the complete totem in Jiang Zeyi's hand, disperse the rumors in the world, and keep his status in the country.
Jiang Zeyi couldn't have imagined that he had told Emperor Xuanjing that once the people of Kou Island surrendered to the imperial court, they would no longer be allowed to hurt the lives of the people of Kou Island, but he didn't want Emperor Xuan Jing to go back on his word, and for the totem in her hand, he did not hesitate to use the lives of the entire Kou Island people to threaten each other, and when he was disheartened, Jiang Zeyi burned the totem on Kou Island, and Emperor Xuanjing was furious about it, a killing, and no one survived the entire Kou Island
"From the beginning to the end, Jiang Zeyi died in that war, even if those people said that the demon girl died, but in the end he still failed to save the Shen family for hundreds of years, and a year later, Emperor Xuanjing also died of illness, and the world was divided into six, and even the totem that disappeared that year was broken."
From beginning to end, Murong Tianlian had no expression on his face, only indifferently narrating a story that happened to be known to him.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoxiao's chest was dull, and he also poured a cup of tea to relieve his breath, and had some questions, "Emperor Xuanjing was furious because the totem was burned, didn't he know that the totem was not a mortal thing at all, and it was impossible to be burned?" ”
The corners of Murong Tianlian's mouth hooked, "How could he not know, maybe it's just an excuse," he shook the teacup in his hand leisurely, "Do you know what else is the reason why Jiang Zeyi is called a demon girl?" ”
"What?"
"Immortality." He paused, tilted his head and drank all the cups of tea.
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him with wide eyes, but his gaze never fell on Xia Xiaoxiao again, and continued to narrate slowly, "It is rumored in the world that the demon girl came to the world, came from another world, there is a method of immortality, Qingluan totem, disaster to the country overnight, even if he knows that the totem cannot be burned, but he just needs an excuse to kill Jiang Zeyi." ”
There seemed to be something sharp and sharp in the heart of the chest and stabbing it fiercely, the pain in the heart was piercing, Xia Xiaoxiao's face was pale, and the hand holding the teacup slowly tightened, "In the end, was she killed by Emperor Xuanjing, or was she killed?"
Self-slaughter? Is it because the heart is like ashes, or is it to take revenge on that man?
"Is there a difference?" Murong Tianlian looked at Xia Xiaoxiao's pale face, his eyes were slowly covered with a layer of darkness, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "In the end, she is still dead, even if the world thinks that she can live forever, even if the man never thought that she would die, she is also dead, a karmic fire that swells with green luan's wings, and there are no bones left." ”
The teacup fell, and Murong Tinglian stood up, turned around and wanted to walk out.
At the moment when he turned around, Xia Xiaoxiao's hand covered his chest hard, feeling a burst of pain in his chest, suppressed, as if she was going to tear her whole body apart, as if it would be better to hold it like this.
"Green Peacock"
Listening to the footsteps of him leaving, I couldn't help but stop him, and fine sweat oozed from my forehead, "What about that child?" ”
In the dream, she could sometimes see the children around her, following her, calling her sister's child one by one, but Xia Xiaoxiao knew that it was not calling her, the child who was afraid of the dark and afraid of her leaving, called Jiang Zeyi's sister's child
From beginning to end, the child who Murong poured into the words of the child.
"Who knows, maybe alive, maybe dead." A gust of wind blew in from the window, blowing Murong Rippling Green Robe to the fullest, and with the sound of hunting with the wind, his voice also came with the sound of the wind, "At the moment when Jiang Zeyi died." ”
Maybe then died.
Xia Xiaoxiao's gaze crossed the window and fell on the green-robed figure on the deck, from her angle she could only see Murong Tinglian's back, only to see the wind blowing, blowing the robe on his body, and even his waist-length hair was blown into a mess.
The man only stood there, and he attracted the eyes of countless women around him, including men, dazzling, bewitching, but partial, Xia Xiaoxiao saw the loneliness in the back.
The pain in my chest slowly dissipated.
"Oh, the person standing at the bow of the boat is Murong Tinglian, the owner of the Red Kelou? How could he be on board? ”
Suddenly, a shallow exclamation came, and Xia Xiaoxiao turned his head to see that it was the two people he had just seen at the bow of the boat.
"Childe, it seems that what you said is not unreasonable, this time Xuanlian Hua has attracted the rare appearance of the Murong landlord on the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid that the rumors are not unfounded!"
"Hey, there's a good show to watch now, not only is there a lot of uproar on the rivers and lakes, but even the people from the courts of several countries are alarmed, but my son wants to see what kind of strange news is in the world!"
Xia Xiaoxiao retracted his gaze and looked at the endless water in the distance.
It is rumored that seven hundred years ago, Jiang Zeyi ruined his life because of a rumor of a demon girl's disaster, and buried the lives of an island tribe, and the big country was divided into six points.
The days on the ship were boring, and at the same time, the news from the outside world was almost cut off, and I didn't know what new movements were happening outside, a month passed in the blink of an eye, but after getting along with each other in this month, Xia Xiaoxiao found that there were few real businessmen on their ship now, and most of the rest of the people were from the rivers and lakes, and the purpose of this time was exactly the same as them, all of them went to the rumors of Xuanlian Huazhong out of thin air.
The floating shore of Koh Island, the treasure is alive, and there is a shocking vision that will appear on September 9.
All of them are reasons to attract people to flock to it.
If it was before, Xia Xiaoxiao would have scoffed, but now that I think about it, Kou Island existed as a bandit island seven hundred years ago, and there must be a large number of treasures hidden in it, even if Emperor Xuanjing exterminated it later, there will definitely be some omissions, not to mention some martial arts cheats that disappeared seven hundred years ago.
But those are all for later, Xia Xiaoxiao only felt a little like vomiting when he looked at the two skewers of grilled fish in front of him.
Murong Tianlian carefully handed the freshly grilled fish to her mouth, and said in a low voice, "Endure it for two more days, it should be there in two days." ”
I've eaten fish for a whole month, and now Xia Xiaoxiao feels like vomiting when she smells that fishy smell!
"I don't believe you!" She slammed Murong Tianlian's hand away, and forcefully turned her face away to avoid smelling the smell, "Green Peacock, this is the first time you have told me that it will be two more days!" ”
"If you hadn't insisted on getting on the merchant ship at the beginning, you would have to endure this hardship yourself?"
Murong Tianlian glanced at her, raised his hand and stuffed the fish meat into his mouth.
"Who knew the fish in the sea were so unpalatable?"
