275 Ji Xiao General, you are sick
She looked up and stared at him motionlessly, "Don't you hate me for being tight, and if I die, won't you be missing an eyesore?" β
Murong Tinglian clenched the wine glass in her hand slightly because of her eye-catching words, and then slowly let go, and said casually, "Maybe it's because of the sudden absence of you, there will be no one to tease the owner of the building." γFengyun Reading Network. γ β
With that casual attitude, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't tell the difference between what seemed to be true and what was false, just as she never cared about Murong Tianlian's words under the teasing.
"Then," she paused, "what was the one that appeared in the dungeon that day?" β
The things of that day were definitely not her hallucinations alone, including a fire caused by that Qingluan, Murong Tianlian also saw it with her, the Qingluan that fell from the sky from the mural on the wall of the sky, in such a cold underground palace, even if there is a spark, it is impossible to burn, let alone such a raging fire.
Now Xia Xiaoxiao thinks about it, and he thinks that the underground palace will collapse that day because of that thing.
Putting down the quilt in her hand, she raised her eyes and looked at every expression on Murong Qianlian's face seriously, and then she clearly saw that Murong Qianlian's slightly curly and long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Then he smiled slowly, "Isn't that what they all want?" β
When Murong Tinglian's gaze swept over and fell on her, Xia Xiaoxiao only felt that he was mocking for a while, but the mockery didn't look like he was mocking her.
"What does that have to do with totems? And where did the totem come from? β
These questions, she finally began to be curious.
"It's not a very capable thing," Murong Tinglian smiled slightly, looked at the light rain falling outside the window, and said slowly, "Seven hundred years ago, the world was less than six points, the era was peaceful and prosperous, and Emperor Xuanjing was in power, but there were rumors that there was a demon girl in the world who brought disaster to the country. β
"You're talking about Jiang Zeyi?"
Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to ask.
Murong Tianlian didn't answer her, but instead asked another question, "Do you know why the demon girl is called a demon girl, and what does that Qingluan represent?" β
The demon girl is nothing more than that the world has been peaceful for too long at that time, and there must be people with ill intentions under Emperor Xuanjing, and those trumped-up charges of dying the country are pressed on a woman.
However, Murong Qianlian didn't really ask her, but continued, "Qingluan Phoenix, reborn from the fire, makes people immortal, but it also burns people." β
It's endless, you want to get what you can't get, you get it but you don't cherish it, and then you covet other things, and so on.
Murong Tinglian was still looking sideways at the rain outside the window, and some of the rain drifted in and fell on his shoulders, and there were a few traces of sparse expression oozing from his eyebrows and eyes.
Therefore, the totem was burned at the beginning that day, and it was just a coincidence that I saw the unformed Qingluan? However, if that kind of thing is really integrated into a totem, wouldn't it really be a thing in the world of cholera? Why do so many people still want it? Not to mention, the tragedy was born once 700 years ago, should it be repeated?
"Green peacock."
"The owner of this building has a name."
Murong Tinglian turned his head and glanced at her, Xia Xiaoxiao pursed his lips, "Why do you know so much?" β
As everyone knows, the owner of the Red Mansion knows astronomy and geography, and no one has secrets in front of him, but this can be attributed to the huge power of the Red Guest Building, not to mention that an institution like the Red Mansion has always been the best place to find out all kinds of news.
But, why does he still know all those things 700 years ago so clearly? even really gave her the illusion that Murong Tinglian should be omniscient, and then she almost asked why Jiang Zeyi's memory occasionally appeared in her mind, and that memory was not like a simple memory, but more like the life she had personally experienced.
But that kind of thing was too mysterious, and she didn't dare to ask.
"I want an answer from the landlord, but I have to pay the price, and occasionally I get you cheaper once or twice, do you really think that the landlord doesn't have to do business?" He looked at her, poured wine into her empty wine glass, and the free Q&A she gave her seemed to be over, "Ye Qi'er, you came to me today with the Beigong Pheasant on your back, and you really just came to me to drink and chat like this?" β
Look, he even knew that she was leaving with Beigong Pheasant on her back, as if there was really nothing to hide from him, although she didn't plan to hide it.
Just that glass of wine, Xia Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and glanced at it, a little lacking in interest, her hand supported her chin, and she turned her face away, "Don't keep calling me Wild Sparrow, I also have a name." β
Wild sparrows, wild sparrows, as if she really had how wild she was.
Murong Tinglian laughed lowly, and responded heartily and happily, "Xiao Xia'er." β
"Green Peacock!" Xia Xiaoxiao glared at him, did he have a heart?
His voice lowered, "Hearing Beigong Yu call you like this, you don't seem to be very disgusted, why can't you call it when you come to the owner of this building?" β
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, he didn't care, the whole room was quiet for a while, listening to the sound of Murong pouring wine into the cup, listening to the sound of Ding Ling blowing the bead curtain in the wind, listening to the whispering sound outside the window, and the sound of the girls downstairs still not stopping.
Quiet, however, partiality gave birth to a different kind of Shu Yi, An Tian, as if her life should be like this, small wine, small couch, and then look at the four seasons outside the window, no matter what, it is comfortable, you don't have to think about anything, you don't have to do anything, and you don't have to care about anything.
It was getting late, and it was already dark early on a rainy day.
There were several jars of red drunken liquor on the table, Xia Xiaoxiao had no intention of leaving, and Murong Tinglian just lowered his head and drank the wine, occasionally his eyes fell on the woman who was already a little drunk and looked at the scenery outside the window with her chin propped up.
The lingering drizzle, the bright lights, for a moment, Murong Qianlian actually felt that maybe this was not bad.
"Master."
Outside the door, Qing Xuan walked in lightly, but Xia Xiaoxiao still heard the voice, she turned her head, and looked a little surprised, "Oh, green peacock, you are really a lot of good-looking girls who are the owner of the building." β
Hong Lian one, this woman one, and a few other people she saw during the period whose names she didn't know, all of them were top-notch beauties, and they were also masters among the masters, such a person must be wanton and happy in the rivers and lakes, she couldn't figure out what to do and come to work under Murong Tianlian?
Qing Xuan heard her words as soon as she walked in front of Murong Qianlian, and looked down at her, she looked half-awake and half-asleep with her chin propped up, as if she was drunk. His cheeks were as red as if he were shining in the light.
Murong Tianlian also glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, and the cup in his hand did not stop, "What's the matter?" β
Qing Xuan glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao with some hesitation, and before Murong Tianlian could speak, he heard Xia Xiaoxiao say extremely dissatisfied, "What you want to say is what you say, and it's up to me to do what you do" She moved forward slowly, moved to Qing Xuan's feet, covered her mouth with her hand, tilted her head and smiled quietly at Qing Xuan, "I tell you, what you say, your master will tell me in the end." β
The whisper she thought she thought was heard by Murong Qianlian, and then Qing Xuan raised his head and threw an inquiry at him, he nodded, his eyes still resting on the already drunk woman.
Qing Xuan rearranged his rhetoric at this time, and said a little cautiously, "Master, there is news from the palace that Beigong Pheasant has brought 100,000 troops to block Chu Boyuan tonight, I'm afraid, it's tonight." β
Xia Xiaoxiao's figure was a little trance when he just sat back, and Murong Tianlian chuckled, "Tonight, it's indeed a good day." β
She looked out again, and the shops and inns across the street were closed, but the lanterns on the eaves were still on, and they were like fireflies fluttering in the rain.
Qing Xuan retreated, and Murong Tinglian looked at her, "This time, there's nothing you want to ask?" β
"What is there to ask?"
Xia Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh, a moment ago, he was like a person who was about to faint drunk, and there was a lot of clarity in his eyes at this moment. She continued to pour the wine, "He has been planning this day for a long time, and it will not be easy for him along the way. β
Beigong Yu wanted to kill him, so he needed to be powerful.
But with power, he also wanted to kill Beigong Yu.
Two brothers, emperors of two kingdoms.
"Hey, green peacock."
She called him again, and today she seemed to be particularly fond of calling him.
"Hmm." He also answered in a low voice, and he didn't tire of it.
"You say, is there really that legendary art of immortality in this world?"
She slowly shook the wine in the glass, and a strong aroma permeated the glass, but she drank a little too much to smell.
Murong Tinglian looked at her, the wine in the cup was empty, and the fingertips holding the cup tightened.
"Who knows......"
Then Xia Xiaoxiao heard him laugh slowly, and the carelessness in that smile seemed to be too deliberate.
She sighed again, "But what does a person's immortality mean?" Isn't that endless life too lonely? β
"It's too lonely, so it's okay for you to accompany me?"
Xia Xiaoxiao heard the voice, turned around, and saw that Murong Qianlian's eyes seemed to overflow with loneliness and loneliness that had been silent for many years.
It's like drunken nonsense, it's like a drunken mantra, Murong is pouring ripples, no matter how demonic it is, no matter how perfect it is, even if it is terrifying in the rivers and lakes, powerful and omnipotent, but the loneliness in that eye has never been like this moment, full of sadness, like an abandoned child.
Scared and helpless.
"Green peacock, let's make a deal."
She put down the cup in her hand and sat down squarely across from the small table, and for the first time, she talked about the deal in front of him.
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
After a night of bloody rain, Beigong Pheasant led 100,000 troops to the capital to intercept Chu Boyuan, and then used Anzi to lead the soldiers and horses he later recruited in Nanming Kingdom, and took down Chu Boyuan's people in one fell swoop, from harem concubines to important ministers of the court.
Chu Boyuan had long expected that Beigong Pheasant would make a move, but he never expected it to be so fast, it was Beigong Pheasant's movement that was too fast, and even if he expected it, but before he even finished the preparations, Beigong Pheasant's people had already forced to the palace gate.
From the beginning, he thought that he came from Nanming, although he forced him to use him, but more because the poison in his body was only able to be solved by him, but he didn't expect that Beigong Pheasant didn't care about the poison on him from the beginning, and the power in his hands had infiltrated his territory pervasively in the past few years, from those court ministers, to the army of Nanming State, and even the people of Nanming State, they had already moved the people's hearts to the side of Beigong Pheasant.
Chu Boyuan has always been guarding against raising tigers, but what he didn't expect was that the 100,000 elite army in Beigong Pheasant's hands was Chu Muruo's.
On the second day, the whole imperial city spread, Chu Boyuan fled from the imperial city with the remnants of his defending army, and the people who were suppressed by Chu Boyuan suffered for too long, even if it was an invasion by outsiders, it was more of a cry.
These ordinary people, who is the emperor has nothing to do with them, they just want a Ming monarch who can make them live a good life.
Three days later, he entered the city with the army in his hand, and most of them were the one that Chu Muruo left for him.
Even if she is dead, she wants to do something for him, this life is not easy, the man she loves does not love her, and her loving father finally pushed her into the sea of fire because of his power, if there is no army of hers, Beigong Pheasant's plan cannot be realized so quickly, and it is impossible to go so smoothly.
The imperial palace in Nanming occupies almost half of the imperial city, and it is so luxurious that it is finger-inspiring.
A palace change, those minions of the Nanming Kingdom fled, scattered, and a group of people were replaced in the entire palace, all of whom were the henchmen of Beigong Pheasant.
From the ancient ferry gate on the rivers and lakes to the party that can occupy the Nanming country today, it is unprecedented in history.
Yue Hua's side soon received the news.
A piece of paper burned to ashes in the candlelight.
The sky was clear outside, and the inside of the imperial study was so gloomy that it seemed as if there was about to be a lightning and thunder.
The people present were all Beigong Yu's henchmen, and they were all people who knew Beigong Yu's temperament, and no one dared to speak the moment the news came.
"By now, all of them have become mute?"
The man behind the book case had a gloomy sneer on his face, and everyone present glanced at the letterhead that was already a pile of residues in the candle flame, and the chill couldn't help but spread from the soles of their feet.
"That, second brother, I'm afraid we will have to discuss this matter again......"
It was still Beigong Langyan below who looked at everyone as if they were pleading, and said a word stubbornly.
"Counsel?" Beigong Yu's voice was heavily provoked, and the sneering eyebrows and eyes seemed to be about to erupt in the next moment, "Could it be that you really wait for my woman to become someone else's queen in him and then discuss it slowly?" β
Beigong Langyan's whole heart trembled, but even if this matter was as they expected, who knew that this day would come so quickly? Who knew that Beigong Pheasant would have the army left by Chu Muruo in his hands?
And Xia Xiaoxiao's appearance really looks like she doesn't plan to come back, does it really feel like she is very enjoyable to be the queen of Beigong Pheasant over there?
"I ask you, who has any opinions?"
The more Beigong Yu thought about it, the more angry his heart became, his cold eyes swept over the people sitting down one by one, and everyone who was within his sight was busy hanging their heads deeply, and they all said in unison, "The emperor is wise!" β
Even the thirteen princes, who have always been affectionate and affectionate, have been trained to look like that, where do they dare to have opinions as courtiers?
"Since you have no opinions, then retreat, thirteen, in the past two days, you go to prepare to deal with the affairs of the Wu Kingdom, you can delay it, and the rest of the things will be discussed after I return to the palace."
Beigong Yu stood up, gave an order, and beat everyone to go, he was going to start thinking about how he should go to Nanming to bring Xia Xiaoxiao back.
She had said that she would not leave again, but in the end, she still broke her promise, once in those days, there was a moment when he really thought that she had forgotten that Beigong Pheasant had fallen in love with him.
But the reality is that she would rather stay in the imperial city built by the rebellious ministers and thieves in Beigong Pheasant than return to him, and even every time he ordered the people in the past, she beat them back one by one, and then later, those people couldn't even see her face.
He knew that it was Beigong Pheasant who made a move.
He began to regret it, he shouldn't have let her go in the first place, he shouldn't have trusted her so much, he also regretted it, the last time he went to Nanming, he should have snatched her back no matter what means he used, and it wouldn't be now, Beigong Pheasant already had a plan to leave there.
He had become Nanming's new emperor, and he knew that if she really didn't want to come back, it would really not be as easy as it had been.
The anger that had been blocked from his chest for so many days finally couldn't hold back at this moment, and he reached out and swept everything on the table to the ground with a violent sound.
When the anger was vented, there was another wave of exhaustion.
He sat back in his chair weakly, rubbed the bridge of his nose, but the name that seemed to have been with him day and night was always in his mouth.
Loneliness that I never felt.
But how difficult it is?
He opened his eyes in vain, and a cold light burst out of them.
Pingshun on the side watched all this quietly, and sighed silently, when he saw Beigong Yu's appearance, it seemed that it was also the time when Xia Xiaoxiao left, but since she was the person she loved so much, why bother to push her to someone else's side with her own hands? Or use it against your own enemies.
After leaving the imperial study, no one dared to stay longer, and they all went out of the palace, and Beigong said that he didn't dare to stop and went back to his house.
They didn't go far before they heard the sound of things being smashed from the imperial study.
"Tsk, you really deserve it."
Ji Lingnan glanced back at the closed door of the palace, took out a bag of melon seeds from his arms, and smiled gloatingly.
"What deserves it?"
6 Traceless glanced at him.
"Naturally, it's Beigong Yu, I said that he will have to be punished sooner or later, and Lao Tzu was arrested and tortured by Beigong Pheasant for so long, and now it should be to make him anxious to relieve the hatred in his heart."
He smiled very happily, and from the moment he knew the truth, he had been holding a grudge against Beigong Yu all the time, but what could he do? If you want to say that if you were on West Street before, who would dare to pay attention to him? was caught by him and beat him so that his father and mother didn't know him, but, Beigong Yu is a monarch and a minister, even if he knew, he couldn't pull him out and beat him, not to mention, he was not Beigong Yu's opponent when he fought alone.
Ji Lingnan swallowed melon seeds as he walked, "I didn't expect my second child to be so promising, and he avenged my revenge." β
6 Wuxian unconsciously twisted his eyebrows when he heard the two words of my family, paused, and listened to Ji Lingnan walking in front and said, "If you want me to say, it's good that the second little one really doesn't come back, I heard that after Beigong Pheasant left this march, he really didn't pick up the beauties who paid tribute from all over the country, and there were two little ones in the harem, and this alone was many times better than Beigong Yu." β
What's more, in the days when he was tied up in the Nanming military camp, Beigong Pheasant Li saw with his own eyes what Xia Xiaoxiao did.
"You said Beigong Yu is not a living ......"
Walking and walking, Ji Lingnan suddenly appeared and the person next to him disappeared, and when he turned around, he saw 6 Wuxian stopped there without moving, and threw a melon seed into his mouth, "What are you standing there for?" β
6 Wuxian glanced at him lightly, and walked straight forward past him, "If she doesn't come back, you won't see you in your life, you can even give up your life for her, you can even give up your life, you are willing?" β
Ji Lingnan is the same as Xia Xiaoxiao, so he pursues the freedom of the rivers and lakes, but in order to see Xia Xiaoxiao, he can voluntarily enter the court as an official, Ji Lingnan is the same as Xia Xiaoxiao, so afraid of death and pain, but for Xia Xiaoxiao, he was kidnapped and tortured day and night by the people who left the Beigong Pheasant, but he never said any news about Xia Xiaoxiao, 6 As long as he thought of this, he inexplicably felt that something in his chest was blocking him, and as soon as this unhappiness came to his mouth, he couldn't help but sarcastically ridicule Ji Lingnan.
Even the dullest person heard that there seemed to be a little bit of meaning in 6 Wuxi's words, not to mention that Ji Lingnan had never been such a dull person, he stepped forward in two steps, and when he arrived at 6 Wuji's side, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, "What, are you vinegar?" β
6 Wuxian smiled, "Ji Lingnan, don't speculate on me with your dirty thoughts. β
Then he straightened his clothes, as if he suddenly remembered something, and clasped his hands into fists and slapped them in his palms, "By the way, I heard that there are a few nice girls in the Red Kelou today," he turned his eyes to look at Ji Lingnan and asked sincerely, "Is General Ji interested in going together?" β
Ji Lingnan's face changed, and he threw away the bag of melon seeds in his hand, "6 No trace, when did you go to such a place with your master on your back!" β
"What am I doing behind your back? Isn't that inviting you to go? β
"6 Without a trace, when you are Lao Tzu, you are the wind in your ears, isn't it?"
He looked at the man in front of him with deep eyes, and there was anger in his head.
6 Wuxian looked at him and shook his head helplessly, "General Ji Xiao, I just think that you are sick now, and you are not lightly ill. β
"Aren't you called a miracle doctor? You can cure my sickness. Ji Lingnan walked up to him, raised his chin, and smiled with a ruffian smile on the corner of his mouth, he was a scoundrel on the street.
