Chapter 10: The Holy Maiden of Danqiong
"What's all going on?" The majestic voice came to mind from the outside, and it was a kind of high-ranking momentum, which made people surrender.
The noise stopped abruptly. Then Zhong Mo returned the spell that he wanted to send out with the last few traces of spiritual power.
"See Her Highness the Holy Maiden!" Except for the queen, princess and Zhong Mohui, they all knelt down respectfully and saluted.
A woman over thirty years old, dressed in a plain dress, with two sterling silver phoenix hairpins on her head, with a dignified and majestic face, walked in steadily.
The pair of phoenix eyes swept around, and even the arrogant queen lowered her head.
What kind of woman is this, Zhong Mohui thought in his heart, he has always known that there is an existence in Danqiong Country like the Tianli High Priest, but although the Tianli Priest has a high status, he is not involved in politics, and Danqiong Country is different, this Danqiong Holy Maiden is equivalent to another Danqiong King's general existence.
Each generation of the Holy Daughters of the Danqiong Kingdom succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen to inherit the life and death Gu, and ended her political career at the age of thirty, during which they could not have sex with any man, and only at the age of thirty they could choose to marry or enter the elders' house.
In two days, it will be the day of the inheritance of the saintess, but the saint who is about to abdicate can still deeply see the momentum of the strong woman who turns her hands into clouds and covers her hands into rain.
Her eyes paused on the queen without emotion, and her lips opened lightly: "Queen Niangniang, can you explain what is going on?" The mess of this place, the noise of this hall, when my Danqiong royal court is a vegetable market? The last sentence was quite imposing, Xuanyuan Zixin looked at this scene, her face was flushed but she didn't dare to laugh.
The queen was a little trembling, but her fists were clenched tightly, Her Highness the Holy Maiden? In a few days, you will be nothing, and you will dare to dictate to me like this. But now, after all, she is still in power, and a queen like her, who has no real power, does not dare to act against the saint.
The queen thought in her heart that when my Mo'er became the next saintess, she would see if you would dare to be so arrogant. said respectfully: "It's nothing, just playing with Xin'er, this girl is so unreasonable, she actually brought a man back!" ”
"Kidding? The queen is still childlike, and she knows how to play with children every day. The saint sneered, looking at the queen with obvious displeasure in her eyes. Over the years, the queen's bad habits have continued to reach her ears, but it's a pity that the royal brother misses the old and is unwilling to abolish her.
The queen smiled, her face was a little unbearable, and her gaze at Xuanyuan Zixin was even more ruthless.
"Xin'er, you are really, where did you pick up a man, but he is still hiding in the dormitory." Suddenly, the saint girl educated Xuanyuan Zixin again, but although it was a reproachful word, it had already softened, and there was a sense of cover-up.
Xuanyuan Zixin stretched out her tongue mischievously and said, "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, Xin'er didn't mean it, but when she was playing on the road, she saw this son unconscious with snake venom in his body, and he couldn't bear it. In addition, Her Highness often taught us to be merciful, so she saved this son. At this time, the teachings of the Holy Maiden were undoubtedly gaged by the queen.
The holy woman said without joy or anger: "That being said, it is really inappropriate to take people back to your dormitory to take care of them, for the sake of your youth and ignorance, this time I will not bother with you first, and I will immediately ask someone to arrange a place for this prince." One sentence lightly cleared Xuanyuan Zixin of all guilt, and also entertained that man as a guest. The queen hated it, but she couldn't say anything.
The saintess glanced around, and finally focused her gaze on Zhong Mohui, frowning slightly.
"Childe doesn't look like a person from our Danqiong Kingdom!" He looked over with cold and solemn eyes.
Zhong Mo propped up his weak body and said: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, I am indeed not from your Danqiong Kingdom, I am a merchant from Liufeng, who knew that I was in danger in the dense forest, I was separated from my caravan, and unfortunately I was bitten by a poisonous snake and fell unconscious. "Zhong Mohui naturally can't say that he is the witch of Tianli, in this season of the alternation of saints, Danqiong's precautions are still very strong, after all, such a treasure as life and death Gu, no one in this world covets it.
The saint still frowned, obviously skeptical of Zhong Mohui's words. The man in front of him is not shocked, has an extraordinary bearing, and talks elegantly, and he definitely does not look like an idle person. In this kind of spy, if you get in, it's not easy to do.
But looking at Xuanyuan Zixin's pleading gaze, the holy woman withdrew that fierceness. Even if he is a spy, moving him now is also to startle the snake, let's take a look first!
"Xin'er, clean up and take this son to live in the Yilan Hall of the East Garden! You won't live so much nonsense in the future, learn more from your sister Zitong. When the words fell, the saint turned and was about to leave. Seeing that the queen and Xuanyuan Zimo were still holding still, he glanced at them and said, "Don't you want to leave?" ”
The queen took Xuanyuan Zimo's hand and tightened it again, so painful that Xuanyuan Zimo almost screamed.
In the end, these uninvited people were cleaned, and although the dormitory was a little messy, peace was finally restored.
"Phantom, ask someone to clean up the ground, and by the way, go to the Yilan Hall in Dongyuan to clean up too." Xuanyuan Zixin was like a happy child for a while, and her tone was relaxed, as if nothing had happened just now.
Then he leaned over to Zhong Mo and said, "Don't be afraid, son, that old witch can't help me." ”
Looking at Xuanyuan Zixin's muttering mouth, Zhong Mohui suddenly wanted to laugh, and slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Xuanyuan Zitong's face.
Xuanyuan Zitong looked at the pair of slender jade hands that were getting closer and closer, his eyes widened, but he didn't dare to move at all, his heartbeat was so fast that he couldn't control it, and his cheeks turned crimson all of a sudden.
"Gong ...... Childe ......" A tactful voice woke up Zhong Mohui, who also had a somewhat intoxicated expression. He coughed awkwardly, and the hand that was close to Zixin's cheek suddenly changed direction, and he took a piece of torn yellow yarn from Zixin's head.
Xuanyuan Zixin only remembered the way she had just sprinkled in front of the soldiers, and suddenly her face was even more crimson, and she felt a little disappointed when she saw that Zhong Mohui just took off the yellow yarn for herself, and for a while too many emotions were mixed together, she snorted coquettishly, and ran away with a red face.
Zhong Mohui smiled again. It seems that there haven't been so many smiles for a long time, since being locked up in the Holy Tower, there will only be a moment of joy when he is with Xin'er, to some extent, he is still relatively lucky, at least compared with Xin'er, because the spirit girl has never been able to get rid of the cage of the Holy Tower in this life, so he has taken care of this sister since he was a child.
I don't know what Tianli is like at this time, I finally got off the holy tower, and I said to my father that I want to go out to travel, he hasn't gone out to see in Tianli for so long, and he is very eager to have such an opportunity to travel, but fortunately, his father generously gave him a year, this time he came to Danqiong, he just didn't want to miss the fifteen-year handover of the saint, and the most eye-catching life and death Gu behind this. Who knew that luck was so bad, seeing that he was about to arrive in Dancheng, but he was caught off guard by a snake's path, fortunately, a kind girl saved herself, and wanted this, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.
Outside the northernmost Tianli Ice Castle on the Kyushu border.
Feng Zixie's eyes looked at Lijiang without blinking. I don't know what I'm thinking in my deep pupils.
It's been another two days, and none of the troops he sent out have returned. The right envoy has been in contact for a long time and there is no news, but the carrier pigeons in Fengcheng have come one after another. Those old ministers couldn't sit still for a long time, and the news urging him to return to the capital became more and more frequent, and those pedantic old men said that what they said was just that the country could not be without a king for a day, and His Majesty had just succeeded to the throne and went on an expedition to the frontier, working hard to mobilize the people, and the ancestral family business was unstable or something. He was very annoyed, but there was no way to take them, if he moved these elders of the three dynasties at this time, his throne would be unstable. I think back then, the mother concubine was also forced to death by them like this, what kind of Tianli demon concubine, disaster to the country and the people, the existence of these people is the disaster to the country and the people!
Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't show it, and he sighed deeply in the face of the beautiful but strange Lijiang River and the beautiful mist.
"Cloud, come out!" He shouted into the void. Sure enough, Leng Yun, who was not far away, followed with a light effort.
"Lord!" Still respectfully courteous as always, with his head bowed, his fists clenched, his eyes firm and clear, and his voice loud and respectful.
Feng Zixie was not in the mood to laugh at him, and said calmly: "I will leave for Fengcheng tomorrow, you stay here, you must take care of this pass, since Lijiang can't be broken for the time being, just guard here first, just don't let Han Youqi's kid fight back!" No matter how calm the tone is, he still can't hide his regret, he is about to take the sky, there is only one ice city left, this huge territory, the former country will become the past, but the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, now is not the time, although he is reluctant, he can only give up. Sometimes, even kings are still irresistible to fate.
"The subordinates must live up to their mission!" That voice is extremely loud, it is hot-blooded, it is also introverted, it is a loyal heart, sad for the master, and happy for the master.
Feng Zixie rarely showed a smile again, the worries of the past few days made him a little haggard, the original Yiyi look was collected into his bones, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes were dyed blue, and the originally cynical face was even more melancholy.
It's been a long time since he's smiled sincerely.
It's been a long, long time, Leng Yun can't remember how long it has been, maybe it was after becoming the king of this Liufeng country, or maybe it was even more a long time ago, what was buried in the whirlpool of power was not only their youth, but also all the emotions and time of the master.
