181 The Kingdom of Kuo
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him like a monster, Murong tilted his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his lips raised slightly, the morning light fell in from the open window, even the black hair was like a golden light, and there was a little light like stars in his eyes that had always been indifferent, and the wind swept over her, as if she was very seductive, and even her voice was a little tempting, "You guessed it." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao lost her mind for a while, until she heard these four words, and subconsciously thought of Beigong Yu in her mind.
Murong Qianlian looked at the smile that was about to rise slightly at the corner of her lips, her eyes drooped slightly, and there were still a few tea leaves left in the teacup.
The smile on the corner of Xia Xiaoxiao's lips had not yet had time to spread, and was interrupted by a teasing voice from him, "Lie to you." ”
A heart sank coldly again, Murong Tianlian laughed even more wantonly, even the smile was so good-looking, Xia Xiaoxiao was not angry, scolded a pig in his head, and asked him loudly and angrily, "Murong Tianlian, where did I provoke you, you just want me to die like this?" ”
"Your life is not good."
The smile in Murong Qianlian's eyes gradually faded, and he played with the teacup in his hand lightly.
Bad life? What is the reason for this? She reached out and handed it to him, "Give me the antidote." ”
His gaze shifted from the cup to her palm, and her slender and white fingers, as well as her slightly long nails a few days ago, had all been cut by her.
Suddenly, he grabbed her hand, and walked forward, Xia Xiaoxiao's whole body leaned down towards him, if it wasn't for the table blocking it, Xia Xiaoxiao had no doubt that he would bump into it.
Her body was not yet well, leaning on such a posture and her stomach was uncomfortable by the table, Murong Tinglian was like a fingertip that only buckled her wrist for a moment, let go of her, and chuckled lowly, "There are still seven or eight days before it should be the time for poisoning, and the owner of this building has not started to do it yet, but you don't want to live yourself?" ”
Around the palace that had been quiet for a few days, at this time, the sound of birds chirping gently floated in, and Murong Tianlian looked at her, "Because of Beigong Yu?" ”
As soon as she heard this name, her heart suddenly felt a pain, she turned around and ran to the bed, pulled the thin blanket and hid it all under the blanket, is it because of Beigong Yu? Doesn't the green peacock know everything? Should she ask him how Beigong Yu is?
No, what if you ask an answer that you don't want to hear?
The tea in the cup was gone, and the teapot was also broken, Murong looked at the scenery outside, and suddenly said, "Wild Sparrow, three days will be a good day." ”
There was no sound behind him, and gradually, Xia Xiaoxiao fell asleep again, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon, the sunset was slanting westward, and Murong Tianlian was no longer there, as if he had come today just to see if she was dead.
Outside the door, the palace maid pushed the door in, saw the broken teapot, and asked people to replace it with a new one, and whispered to her, "Madam." ”
"Who is your lady? Be careful, I'll cut out all your tongues one by one with scissors! ”
Xia Xiaoxiao got up upset, and immediately knelt down in front of a row of maids, the only one who came forward with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "Three days later, it will be our wife." ”
"What do you mean?"
Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and when the palace maid saw her look unbelievable, she chuckled twice again, and with a gesture of her hand, four or five palace maids hurriedly came in from outside the hall, holding a big red dress in her hand, holding a red candle, and the most eye-catching thing was that in the middle of the plate, there was a small knife with a small arm in the middle.
Helian Chi came to order, and three days later, he held a celebration ceremony with Xia Xiaoxiao in this palace.
Three days later, it was the auspicious day that Helian Chi said, and the good day that Murong Tilting said.
Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't understand what Helian Chi's purpose was to take her as a concubine, to say that even if he knew that she actually had a totem in her hand, he didn't have to marry her, and Murong Tianlian might have been a ghost by him?
But obviously none of this is important now, the important thing is that she is going to marry Helian Chi to be his little wife?
Acacia? Isn't Helian Chi really planning to sleep with her in three days? This is absolutely unacceptable, not to mention that she still has to find out whether Beigong Yu is dead or alive, even for the sake of her own future happiness, she naturally doesn't want to have such an old guy as a husband!
A camphor tree, its lush foliage spreading, and as the sun sets, a round of gold dyes a halo along the fresh green outline.
Beigong Pheasant stood in front of the court with his hands in his hands, in front of a shallow lake dyed with sunset red, koi fish happily scurrying under the water, but the lake was still calm like a mirror that only reflected the sky.
Sent people, he searched for seven days, and the news that he came this morning still did not find Beigong Yu's body.
The mountain that day of the surprise attack was located at the border of Yueguo, and there was only one main river flowing to the moat of Yueguo under the cliff, and there was no road, Beigong Yu fell from above, even if he survived, there was no way out, let alone no trace.
However, Beigong Yu was there that night, but he didn't see Xia Xiaoxiao.
Could it be that she escaped from Beigong Yu again? Or did Beigong Yu already send her back to Yue Hua first?
Beigong Pheasant Li looked at the fish in the shallow lake, sometimes, Xia Xiaoxiao is like the fish in the water of this pond, and like the birds in the sky, they all like to be free, but whether it is the lake or the sky, there is always their own boundary, the fish in the lake will die in the sea, and the birds in the south will die in the north.
There is no one in this world who can be truly free.
But at least, as long as he knows that she is safe, when he can live, whether it is what Xia Xiaoxiao wants or what Beigong Yu can give her, he can give it.
From afar, Anzi found the figure of Beigong Pheasant, lonely and lonely. Since Xia Xiaoxiao appeared on the way to greet his relatives that day, his master has often been like this, and he knows that he is thinking about Xia Xiaoxiao again.
stepped forward, coughed lowly, and whispered, "Master, Helian Chi has just issued an order to seal a woman as a lady in three days, should we take advantage of this time to withdraw to Nanming first?" ”
Beigong Pheasant Li pondered, looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the distance, and shook his head, Helian Chi knew too many things about totems, he had to take advantage of this time to figure everything out, and then instructed Anzi, "You go and find out why Murong Tianlian appeared here." ”
"It's been found out."
Beigong Pheasant Li glanced back at him, and Anzi explained, "Three days later, the lady that Helian Chi wanted to accept was bought from Murong Tianlian for a lot of money. ”
"Know who it is?"
Anzi shook his head, taking a concubine, it is not an uncommon thing to be the king of a country, and even this matter is almost not Anzi's turn to investigate with his own hands, except for the personnel brought by Murong Tinglian, what is even more strange is that in the past few days, almost no one in the palace has seen this woman, and the thing that is happy is the news found out by Si Tianjian.
Beigong Pheasant's eyebrows twisted a little more, and he took a few steps forward, where a round of remnant sun was slowly falling, rendering this time into a bloody color.
Yue has always been a country that obeys the destiny of heaven, Si Tianjian has a pivotal position in Yue country, watching the heavenly phenomena to tell fortunes, Helian Chi District accepts a concubine, how can it be decided by Si Tianjian?
He was silent for a long time, until the color in the shallow lake darkened, and the sunset only saw the afterglow, and he said lightly,
"Go and find out, what exactly does Murong Tinglian want to do if he continues to stay here."
Anzi's work efficiency has never been so low, and he still hasn't been able to find out what is going on for three days, Helian Chi has handled the matter of concubines too rigorously, and he is so rigorous that there is almost no rumor.
Chu Boyuan had already sent a letterhead from his side, and he had to prepare to lead Nanming's 200,000 troops to withdraw to Yueguo.
The battle of encircling and suppressing Beigong Yu was not as difficult as he imagined, Beigong Yu only had less than 50,000 people left in his hands, it stands to reason that even if he did not bring Nanming's soldiers and horses, Beigong Yu would definitely be caught off guard by Wu Yue Erguo this time, and this is indeed the case, the process of everything is too simple, too easy, without Beigong Yu's usual style, but he feels that there is nothing wrong.
Yan Yanxing has led the army back to Wu State in advance, and next, it is time for him to trade with Wu State.
Beigong Yu can't find anyone, Yue Hua should have already received the news, Beigong said that he was alone in the court, it is estimated that it has begun to be chaotic, he is not in a hurry, he is no worse than Beigong Yu in terms of understanding Yue Hua, even in this district for a year, Beigong Yu has changed the people in the court batch after batch.
Anzi has prepared all the matters, from Yue Guo to Nanming, it is only two months of time, Helian Chi is smart enough to know that Nanming will not let go of his piece of fat, all the grain and grass on this return trip are provided by Helian Chi, now Yue Hua is worried about internal and external troubles, Nanming's hand can't reach out to him, Beigong Pheasant Li has no heart to deal with him, he is more worried about Xia Xiaoxiao now.
On the back of the horse, a gentle wind blows lightly, the neighing of the horse is accompanied by the distant sun, the hooves splash countless dust, the face is as white as jade, the eyebrows are tightly frowned and the tail is slightly picked out a kind of coldness, the thin lips under the high nose bridge are slightly pursed, and the red robe looks flamboyant and restrained.
Chu Muruo's horses followed behind, side by side, straight backs, the distance between the two was not close, and it was just right to see the expression on Beigong Pheasant's face, indifferent, calm, and a trace of coldness that exuded thousands of miles away.
He was perfectly suited to red, almost transparent against his white jade-like skin, but it could not warm the cold air on his body in the slightest.
Behind him is the Imperial City of Yueguo, which is gradually moving away, and unlike the buildings of Yue Hua and Nanming, the city walls are not high, but they are exceptionally strong and thick.
"This time I won a big victory over Beigong Yu, and when I return to Nanming, I will let my father marry again."
Gently, Chu Muruo's voice sounded in the wind.
Beigong Pheasant Li didn't even sweep her from the corner of her eyes, as if her words were like this wind, passing past his ears together, and then slowly dissipating, she looked at the mountains that burst into the sky in the distance, breaking through layers of clouds and mist, forming a different landscape, and suddenly smiled arrogantly, "Beigong Pheasant, you can't refuse, starting from your mother, your life is destined to belong to Nanming." ”
"You threaten me?"
Finally, Beigong Pheasant turned his head, but at a glance, the corners of his mouth showed the same sarcastic smile as Beigong Yu for the first time.
"Threats? If that helps, you can think the same way. ”
Chu Muruo smiled softly, threatened? She never felt that such a threat would be useful to this man, but she was the only one, she had no way to make Beigong Pheasant Li think about her like she did to Xia Xiaoxiao, then, at least she had to get his person, didn't she?
Twilight gradually fell, the outside of the city wall of Yue was dyed with a layer of sunset red, the desert lone goose light smoke, a wild goose waved its wings in the air to leave a flying hong, the entire remnant sun was divided into two halves, in the palace, tonight is particularly quiet.
Xia Xiaoxiao sat in front of the bed, staring at the red Xifeng candle that was gradually burning inch after inch on the table, the more the sky sank, the more the blood on her face with a little bruise became whiter.
She was wearing the same red robe she had changed from the first day here, the windows were wide open, Yue'er climbed up from the treetops, the wind was strong, and the red veil raised waves that made her face hurt.
This afternoon, she secretly ran out again, she was clear, although Helian Chi's guards couldn't resist Beigong Yu's, but it was more than enough to deal with her, but when she wanted to run, Beigong Yu's subordinates never dared to do anything to her, whether they were ordered to watch her or catch her, three days, the first day was caught, gave her a lesson and tied her up, the next day, she was beaten hard by the palace maids, and today, she was hit on the leg.
She couldn't run.
Xia Xiaoxiao's gaze shifted from the red candle to the table, next to the teapot, and the golden knife that was carried by the palace maids that day was still lying there quietly.
She sighed quietly, limped to the table, picked up the knife, and said to herself while trying to gesture while sticking to her neck, "Beigong Yu, Beigong Yu, do you think I should also learn from those women who are three chastity and nine spirits in the book, those heroic women encounter this kind of thing, but they all wipe their necks without blinking."
Perhaps, that's not bad either? Beigong Yu died, she went to accompany him like this, he was an emperor in the world, and it was estimated that he was also rich in Jiuquanxia, maybe he was quite moved when he saw him, and shared a lot of money with her?
"Hurry up, Your Majesty is already coming this way, and the ceremony is almost ready, right?"
Suddenly there was a hurried voice from the palace maid outside, Xia Xiaoxiao's hand shook, and the sharp knife cut a long cut on her neck, she was startled, threw the knife and hurried to the mirror to look at the wound, obediently, although some blood spilled out, but fortunately the scratch was not deep, otherwise she would really have to go to see the king of Hades!
In the mirror, the light of a red candle reflected in, and the shallow wound on her neck was dyed a deeper red, and she was about to wipe the blood with her sleeve when she suddenly paused, and her eyes gradually widened.
In the mirror, the man in the yellow robe behind her was walking towards her, holding the long knife she had thrown away earlier!
Xia Xiaoxiao turned around violently, with his back against the dresser, Helian Chi's steps stopped five steps away from her, the moonlight and the light of the red candle fell from the side, casting a dark shadow on his old wrinkled face, and there was a little unclear smile on his face, which seemed to make Xia Xiaoxiao feel a little creepy.
"Lady of the lonely king, quick, lie down in bed, the hour is coming."
Helian Chi put down the long knife in his hand and stretched out his hand towards her to walk over, his tone unabashedly impatient.
"Helian Pool!"
Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly shouted, everyone was about to jump on the dresser, she couldn't help but be afraid, as long as she thought of being beaten by this old guy, she couldn't help but want to vomit, it was so disgusting!
Sure enough, Helian Chi stopped, still with a smile on his face, although the hour had come, he was not in a hurry for this moment, he didn't want to scare her too much, and tried to relax his tone, "What's the matter, madam?" ”
"Madam", Xia Xiaoxiao was covered in a chill, glanced at the long knife that he had just put on the table, she smiled, "I warn you, you better not want to do anything to me, men hate being cuckolded by others the most, if you dare to do that, Beigong Yu will not let you go!" ”
"Beigong Yu?" Helian Chi did laugh out loud as if he suddenly heard something funny, "Beigong Yu is dead, what else do you expect from him?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao moved his steps, his eyes staring at him tightly, but when he said that word, his steps still couldn't help but pause, "Is it?" But didn't you find his body? ”
What she said is not unreasonable, if you want to see people in life and see corpses in death, so far Helian Chi has not found anything, so no one can say that Beigong Yu is really dead.
After a pause, she suddenly smiled again, "Nanming Kingdom, aren't you Yue Kingdom just attached to Nanming Kingdom now, if Beigong Pheasant knows that you have tied me up to be your concubine, do you think he will spare you?" ”
Now, she only has a dead horse as a live horse doctor, no matter who it is, as long as it is someone who can make Helian Chi a little jealous, maybe he will let her go with a weak heart? She really didn't believe that Helian Chi really fell in love with her if she wanted to marry her, and asked herself, she Xia Xiaoxiao really didn't have that charm!
But Xia Xiaoxiao didn't expect that with just such a sentence, Helian Chi looked at her almost mockingly, and suddenly laughed louder, "Don't worry, at least for now, no one knows your usefulness except for the Lone King, except for the Lone King, who can know?" None of them knew, not even Murong Tianlian didn't know, they didn't know, who would dare to deal with the Lone King for the sake of a worthless person? ”
"What is it worth?"
Xia Xiaoxiao almost subconsciously asked.
"You see, you don't know it yourself, who knows?" He walked towards Xia Xiaoxiao step by step, looking like a matter of course, pointing out the window, that was the direction outside the city, the direction of Nanming Kingdom, Xia Xiaoxiao listened to him and said slowly, "You see, Beigong Pheasant is not stupid away from him, these days, he actually ordered someone to check Si Tianjian, knowing that the Lone King had a concubine today, hehe, he actually ordered someone to check Murong Tianlian, but he couldn't find anything." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, and her hands and feet stood almost cold, "What did you say?" ”
Helian Chi didn't seem to hear what she was saying, he only repeated vigorously, his tone was disdainful and arrogant, "Murong Tinglian, the owner of Murong Mansion, actually dares to claim that there is nothing in the world that he doesn't know, even he doesn't know, how can a mere Beigong pheasant know?" A kind of madness gradually appeared in his eyes, he stepped forward suddenly, Xia Xiaoxiao was frightened by his movements, and forgot to dodge a butt and fell to the ground for a while, looking at Helian Chi without knowing how to react, Beigong Pheasant turned out that he had come to check? So he's been so close to her all these days?
Helian Chi lowered his head to look at her, but after a glance, he turned around and picked up the long knife from the table, he was not in a hurry, and suddenly he felt that he was not in a hurry, but his tone was still uncontrollable and excited, staring at the long knife in his hand, Ling Li's cold glow with chill in his hand, "Destiny, these are destiny!" No one knows that the predecessor of the Yue Kingdom is the Kingdom of Xuan! ”
Gon Ngan Country?
He held a long knife in his hand, turned sideways to look at Xia Xiaoxiao, and then had a suddenly realized expression, "Oh, girl, you don't know, you definitely don't know" After a few sentences, a cold wind blew in outside the window, and the candlelight on the table flickered and dimmed, as if he was explaining to her, "After the war seven hundred years ago, the country was divided into six, what kind of bullshit Yue Nanming?" Only the Yue Kingdom is the real royal family! All the things that were left behind by him back then are in my hands! ”
"The world is looking for, they are looking for the totem," he said, he carefully took out the canvas stained with the traces of time from his arms, and stared at it stupidly, "Heh, what totem This is a map!" Where all the world's treasures are buried! And there's the elixir of life."
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the totem in his hand in shock and gasped deeply. These things may really be unknown to Beigong Yu, but
"Stupid, one by one, you are blinded by these vain interests! What a broken totem! What a rotten map! What an elixir! Only you are fighting for something that doesn't exist! ”
Xia Xiaoxiao came out screaming and scolding, but her feet had already lost the strength to stand up, not only frightened, but also shocked, how could it be, Beigong Yu told her before, but she never believed it, how could there really be such a legendary thing in this world? That's obviously only in the books she likes to read!
Helian Chi was also stunned, obviously he didn't expect Xia Xiaoxiao to deny him so resolutely, but it didn't make the fanaticism in his eyes any less, only attracted him deeper ridicule, "They don't know, but I know very well!" He muttered, his eyes full of curiosity and yearning, "Seven hundred years, that man has lived for seven hundred years!" You see, whether it is Beigong Yu or Chu Boyuan, or Murong Tinglian in the Red Guest Building, no one in the world, no matter who it is, no one knows about it, Emperor Xuanjing, Emperor Xuanjing, and that demon girl! ”
How many years? He didn't remember it, the secret that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years suddenly opened his mouth today, maybe the other party was about to be a dead man, so it was like he wanted to confide, he suddenly wanted to say it, as if he wanted to find someone to celebrate with him.
