Chapter Ninety-Eight: Farewell and Covenant
Hearing this, some of the guards said, "Can't you let such a person come around, won't we all have a place to live then?" ”
Some guards asked, "Really, fake?" Is there such an arrogant and stupid person? ”
Some guards asked tentatively, "Is it really impossible for our Qingqiu Kingdom to become the only real world?" It would be nice if we were born with a spirit like those mortals and could live our lives freely. As it is now, you have to keep practicing from birth, and if you slack off, you will be punished in various ways. ”
Hu Xianxian didn't speak, she looked at the outside of the column, she was guessing whether the person she was referring to outside the column was Lie Yuxun.
Liewai nodded lightly, indicating that she had guessed correctly, and continued: "Don't have these delusions, and don't think that it is easy to be a human being. Alas, what's the worst thing to feel like? ”
None of them answered, and he asked himself: "The most uncomfortable thing is the taste of regret!" I regret it, I used to think that Qingqiu Country should be led by an ambitious lord to make Qingqiu Country better, but I didn't expect that it would put more burden on the people, and even lead Qingqiu Country to the abyss of destruction. ”
Lie Wai looked at Hu Xianxian as he spoke, "Actually, a lord of a country does not need to expand his territory and build much merit, as long as he can keep the people from being bullied by other ethnic groups and live a stable life." ”
Hu Xianxian smiled slightly, she understood the reason why Lie Wai did not support Lie Yufeng in the first place. At the beginning, Lie Yufeng always looked frivolous and casual, lacking the majesty and solemnity of the lord of a country. Lie Wai later realized that for Qingqiu Country, a lazy and unmotivated lord was much better than a lord who was eager for quick success.
Hu Xianxian looked around at everyone and saw that their faces were different, but they didn't speak, knowing that what Lie Wai said had aroused their vigilance.
Hu Xianxian thought about it, and it was not possible to change the topic rashly, so he could only pretend not to understand what was outside the list.
Hu Xianxian said: "The current lord of the country is obviously the third child, how can he be the lord of the country?" ”
At this time, a guard said a little angrily: "Qingqiu Kingdom, like the mortal world, is a long and not a young, and after the prince died early due to illness, he should have been succeeded by the regent as the prince." But the prince didn't know what to think, and before he died, he had to ask the first lord to make the third prince the prince. ”
Lie Wai also frowned and said: "I don't quite understand what my eldest nephew's intention is, he took my brother's hand at that time and said that if he didn't let Yufeng take over the throne, he would die blindly." Alas, the eldest son died young, how could my brother not agree to his last wish? ”
Hu Xianxian said thoughtfully: "Oh? Is it all because of his eldest brother's last wish that the current lord can ascend the throne? Their brotherly relationship is very good? ”
Lie wai shook his head and smiled, "It's not that good." Today's lord has a loose temperament since he was a child, and when he was a teenager, he went to Yunhua to worship the master and cultivate, and he is not very close to his relatives and friends. In terms of brotherly feelings, the second child is not good with the prince, but the sixth child is very close to him. “
Hu Xianxian asked: "In this way, the current lord is the least close to the prince?" ”
One of the guards hurriedly said, "Why don't you be close to the prince?" The lord was not at all familiar with the affairs of Qingqiu Kingdom, and some officials did not know him when he first succeeded to the throne. ”
Another guard said: "Alas, the lord of the country rarely returns to Qingqiu Country when he is studying art. As soon as he came back, he took his maids out to play in the mountains and rivers, how could he know about state affairs? ”
Hu Xianxian had already judged in his heart that the fox clan in this Qingqiu country had a long lifespan, and the prince died young. The crown prince should suspect that someone is harming him, and most of the people who harm him are brothers who want to seize the throne. There were so many brothers that he couldn't tell which one was the one who harmed him. However, the crown prince knew which one was unlikely to harm his younger brother......
Hu Xianxian thought so, looked at her eyes outside the column, and suddenly lost his mind and exclaimed, "Oh my God! How did I not think of that? Pick him? He elects him ...... It's because he doesn't have a motive and doesn't have the time to start......"
Lie Wai roared like this, and those guards heard what he meant that the prince begged to be appointed as the prince because he thought that Lie Yufeng could not harm him. The crown prince's first suspicion, then, is the regent to whom the guards are allegiated.
Those guards all stood up at once, and secretly formed a circle around Liewai and Hu Xianxian.
Hu Xianxian coughed twice and laughed: "What's wrong with you, you were scared by the drunken words of the three thousand years old?" Hehe, you've been with him for so long, and you don't know that he said some inexplicable drunken things when he was drunk? ”
As she spoke, she consciously or unintentionally looked at the golden shackles on Liewai's body, suggesting that it was not easy for these guards to escape. The guards followed her gaze, and the guards made frightened expressions to show weakness, and the guards' expressions relaxed.
Hu Xianxian secretly rejoiced that not everyone in Qingqiu Country had the ability to see through people's hearts, otherwise it would be difficult to get out today. Hu Xianxian and Lie Wai deliberately chatted with each other, and after a while, Hu Xianxian said goodbye and returned to his residence.
After sorting out the situation of Qingqiu Kingdom, Hu Xianxian explained to Lie Yufeng that Lie Wai should support him. Lie Yufeng also began to prepare to rescue Lie Wai, and made an appointment with Hu Xianxian, and when he started, he asked her to answer.
For the next few days, they feasted and drank and enjoyed themselves every night. Hu Xianxian and Lie Yufeng warmly invited Lie Yuxun to come, and every time they flattered him in every way, making Lie Yuxun very proud.
Taking advantage of Lie Yuxun's smug smile, Lie Yufeng pretended to beg him to let Hu Xianxian stay in Qingqiu Kingdom, and Lie Yuxun pulled down his face at that time.
"Third brother, you are the lord of the country. Forgot the iron rules of Qingqiu Country? Other races can come to our Qingqiu country, but they must not stay in the country for long. Are you reluctant to go? This king is reluctant to let her go. If you can't bear it, you have to give it up! Otherwise, you will go to the mortal world with the immortals? ”
Lie Yufeng was stunned for a moment, "How can I go to the world?" Alas, Xianxian, you can often come to Qingqiu Country to play in the future. ”
Hu Xianxian pretended to be angry and pouted: "You just hate me and dislike me!" Okay, I'll go! I'm a mortal, and I don't deserve to stay here! ”
Hu Xianxian had tears in his eyes, and glared at Lie Yuxun with a resentful face, and Lie Yuxun pretended to be helpless.
Hu Xianxian ran out angrily, and Lie Yufeng chased him out in a hurry. After chasing a clump of bamboo, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Lie Yufeng whispered: "Alas, I have wronged you. Only by doing this will he think that you are greedy for glory and wealth and want to stay in Qingqiu Country, so that he will not keep too close an eye on you after you go out. ”
Hu Xianxian rubbed his face, "It's not aggrieved, it's quite fun." Don't say more, I'll have to pretend to be persuaded by you for a while. ”
After a while, the two went back, and Hu Xianxian lowered his head and followed behind Lie Yufeng, looking like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
Lie Yufeng said in a low voice: "Immortal, don't be angry. It's just that you can't stay in Qingqiu Country forever, and it's not that you are not allowed to come again. ”
Lie Yuxun also echoed and said, "Yes, yes, you can come often." As long as you come, no matter how busy my brother is, I will find time to accompany you, and I will definitely entertain you well. ”
Hu Xianxian flashed his big eyes and asked him, "Really?" Next time I come, don't pretend you don't recognize me. ”
I said this, but I thought in my heart, next time I come, you may have to entertain me with knives, guns and sticks.
A few days later, Lie Yufeng sent Hu Xianxian out of Qingqiu Country. The two drank all the send-off wine in the long pavilion outside the city, and there were thousands of words in their hearts, but they didn't know where to start.
Hong'er smiled and pulled up Hu Xianxian and Lie Yufeng, who were looking at the distant mountains, "There is a rule in our Qingqiu country, that is, the agreement that two people say together with the middle finger of their left hand cannot be changed, otherwise it will attract heavenly punishment." I don't know, Miss Hu and the lord of the country are willing to ......"
Lie Yufeng hesitated and said, "No need, right? I believe that the immortals will be faithful to what I have entrusted me with. ”
Hu Xianxian smiled: "It's better to make an appointment." Fifth Senior Brother...... Although I'm no longer Bai Huifeng, you still allow me to call you Fifth Senior Brother, right? ”
Lie Yufeng said with a smoky face: "Of course, of course it is allowed. Alas, I'm incompetent, seeing that the fortunes of Qingqiu Country are coming to an end, I have to do something mundane......"
Hu Xianxian took the initiative to stretch out the middle finger of his left hand, "Fifth Senior Brother, you are the head of a country, so you should take on the heavy responsibility of the country, don't do things by your own temperament." We make a covenant, not because you don't trust me, but because you have to be considerate of your people. ”
The two pressed their left fingers against each other and said in unison: "This finger is heart-to-heart, sincerely make a covenant, respect and help each other, and live up to the trust." ”
After finishing speaking, Hong'er bowed deeply to Hu Xianxian on the side, "Miss Hu, don't blame the lord of the country, Hong'er is stingy and suspicious." ”
Hu Xianxian smiled freely, "Where is stingy?" The red girl is dignified, cautious and intelligent, and she is the virtuous helper of the fifth senior brother. As he spoke, he said to Lie Yufeng, "You have to listen to the advice of the red girl in the future, she understands the world better than you." ”
Lie Yufeng and Hong'er looked at each other and smiled, recited a spell, and sent Hu Xianxian out of Qingqiu Country.
Hu Xianxian only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was already in a mountain forest. At a glance, the mountains and rivers of Qingqiu Country are still faintly visible, but they are all hazy floating in the air, and it is hard to imagine that they have really spent nearly two months there.
After a while, the image of Qingqiu Kingdom disappeared in the air, and Hu Xianxian walked down the mountain on the forest path.
Hu Xianxian agreed to Lie Yufeng, but she had no idea what to do. She knew she had a lot to bear, but no one told her exactly what to do with each step.
Even, sometimes she felt that she was in a long dream, and everything that happened was just a dream. Since Qingqiu Country is a mirror world in the world, is he just a person who appears in other people's dreams, and has never actually appeared?
Of course, Hu Xianxian still felt that his legs were tired and hungry. She knew that her first priority was not to figure out the truth and illusion of everything in this world, but to go down the mountain and find an inn to have a full meal and a good night's sleep.
Hu Xianxian finally rushed to the town below the mountain before the sun set, and after eating and drinking, she slept beautifully. The next morning, she got up refreshed and had breakfast, and as she ate, she asked which state it was under its jurisdiction.
The innkeeper spoke with a very strange accent, which was very different from the Lingzhou dialect that Hu Xianxian was familiar with, but fortunately, she used to run the inn and knew a little about various local dialects. After some comparison, she knew that she was on the border between the Northern Wilderness Province and the Tatar Kingdom.
This place is thousands of miles away from the capital where he had an accident, how can he go back? There are some things that she can't solve alone, and she has to find help.
But Hu Xianxian realized at this time that he didn't know how to contact Cheng Haofeng and them, except for knowing some spells of fighting and killing, he couldn't draw talismans and psychics, and he couldn't teleport thousands of miles. Although her speed of skimming can travel 200 miles in an hour, it is very spiritual, and she must stay in a restaurant to eat to maintain her strength. When she travels back to Lingzhou, it will be at least twenty days later.
And when they returned to Lingzhou, Cheng Haofeng and they might not be in that area. In order to find someone, when do you have to meet?
