Chapter 252: King Yanrong
Meng Yining lurked in the night, Yan Rong was dripping with a light rain, and the spring flowers in the palace were sparsely red and fell to the ground, like a remnant dream, and the hazy mist stained between the girl's eyebrows and eyes. The palace maids slowly blew out the lights in the dormitory, quietly closed them, and pushed them out.
Meng Yining pulled out a cloud of smoke, and the smoke fell quietly on the tip of the palace maid's nose along the rain, and it fell to the ground like a broken branch. Meng Yining fell to the ground softly, leaving Le Yi alone to observe on the house.
The guards outside the courtyard of the dormitory didn't notice anything unusual, still leaning against the wall and playing with their fingers.
Meng Yining pushed open the door of the dormitory, the palace had no gorgeous curtains, no dignified vases, everything was simple like an abandoned palace.
The hustle and bustle of Baiyue has all disappeared here. The girl went to the inner room and looked coldly at the man in front of her, whether he was asleep or he was pretending to be asleep. Meng Yining could see his eyelids trembling slightly in the dark night.
His old beard and hair were neatly combed, his eyebrows were sparse, and his cheeks were a little sunken.
She stood motionless in front of his window, as if it were transparent air, except that the red snake in her hand glowed strangely in the white moonlight, and the red dots flashed like a real poisonous snake.
"Why, are you going to kill the widow?" The man finally opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
Meng Yining didn't speak, she looked at him quietly, as if there was not an enemy in front of her, but an insignificant person in her life. She took a step forward, looked at her face, and finally said in a deep voice, "Don't you get up and speak?" ”
The king of Yanrong snorted, he propped up his body, looked at the corners of the girl's eyes and eyebrows through the moonlight through the gap in the window, and asked, "Who are you?" Who sent you? ”
"No one sent me, and I said my name, and I don't think you know me." There was a light and light meaning between Meng Yining's words, which made King Yan Rong very annoyed. He knew that if the girl dared to come in in a grand manner, she must have arranged everything outside, and even if he shouted at the throat, no one would find out.
The dagger in the girl's hand was blinding, and the golden light that flickered in the darkness was as dazzling as a dancing flame. He narrowed his eyes suddenly, this short sword was so familiar...... Familiar to the point that it is hidden deep in my memory.
"Red Snake." Without continuing to ask, the memories exploded in his mind, and he finally spat out these two words.
The girl was slightly stunned, looked at the short sword in her hand, and snorted disdainfully, "Do you still know this?" ”
"Red Snake," he chuckled, how could he not remember, this good sword was deeply engraved in his memory. Many, many years ago, when the great general Bai Yan had not yet married, they walked side by side, galloped on horseback, and were the closest partners.
Bai Yan's saber was not the three-foot green sword of other men, nor was it a scimitar, but this small but extremely sharp short sword, the whole body was golden red, and the sword was as dazzling as a rainbow.
How many times did he look at this sword, and at that time, Bai Yan was still smiling and wanted to give him the red snake, but how could there be a reason for a king to take the beloved things of his courtiers, he didn't accept it.
Now, decades have passed, and the old man has died under his sword, and there is nothing to go back to. The elderly King Yan Rong often thinks about the previous things in the dormitory, so hearty and high-spirited.
The world has changed in time, sighing about the past.
King Yan Rong was facing Meng Yining, "You are Bai Qianqian." ”
"Exactly."
"You're so old......," he sighed, "I was a babbling little girl when I saw you, only as high as your father's knees." He laughed, "You wore a pink dress, timidly took Bai Yan's hand, and stared at the people passing by with wide eyes." ”
The galaxy hangs low, and the glass lights shine.
Meng Yining smiled, "I didn't expect your memory to be so good, so I don't want to do more nonsense this time, you know what it's for." ”
"I know, because I killed your whole family twenty years ago."
"It's good to know."
Meng Yining took a step closer, his eyes were cold, "Killing people to pay for their lives and paying off debts have been a matter of course since ancient times, right?" She sprayed a cold breath on his face, so jokingly.
"Yes." King Yan Rong smiled, "How are you going to kill me?" ”
Meng Yining played with the sharp blade, his fingers swiped slightly, and the corners of his mouth sneered. She lowered her head and said, "This red snake is stained with the blood of hundreds of Yan Rong soldiers, and it is still hot." She grinned, her eyes dark, "past their throats, or into their hearts......
King Yanrong sat there calmly, and a sentence came out in the middle of a loud voice: "You really look like your father." ”
"You don't deserve to mention him!" Meng Yining suddenly screamed, as if she had poked the sore spot, and she finally asked the question she had been asking all along: "Why?" ”
Why?
's father is obviously loyal to Yan Rong, why did he end up like this?
She doesn't want to listen to this kind of, for the country and the people, is it their fault?
She didn't want to hear what others were saying, how did Gao Liza frame her?
She just wanted to know, in the past, her father was like King Yanrong, and he was like a brother, so he really didn't care about the friendship of fighting the country when he was young?
"Why, I'm going to hear from you."
King Yan Rong smiled, the girl in front of him was childish, but cold like a killer. He sighed in the darkness, the past vivid. Bai Yan is one of his most proud courtiers, a general, and a brother, they are like brothers, fresh clothes and angry horses, galloping on the grassland.
Bai Yan's tiger and leopard battalion was Yan Rong's most powerful army, as long as he wanted to, Bai Yan could reach his dream land in an instant. He is like a sharp blade out of the sheath, out of the sheath to drink blood, no one can match, as a general for more than ten years without a defeat, frightening, as long as he hears Bai Yan's name, he will obediently put the city with both hands, during Bai Yan's tenure as a general, Yan Rong expanded outward a hundred miles, annexing a number of small countries and tribes around.
However, Bai Yan couldn't stay.
He and Bai Yan gradually separated, and his ambition swelled day by day, but Bai Yan was suddenly unwilling to do anything like life and death, it seemed that it was because of his wife, and it seemed that because he had children, he didn't want to have too much karma.
The-for-tat confrontation between the two above the court is becoming more and more serious, and the political views are not compatible, and his set of Central Plains methods learned from Lingfeng Mountain are often taken out to show off in the court, criticizing Yan Rong's ancient traditions.
