Chapter 148: The Virtuous Queen
Lie Yufeng's wedding was extremely grand, and it can be said that the whole country was jubilant. There was a jubilant atmosphere in the palace, and only Hu Xianxian and Caique couldn't be happy.
Hu Xianxian escaped from the wedding banquet, one was unhappy, and the other was that Lie Yuxun frequently toasted her.
In a secluded corner of the garden, Hu Xianxian was drinking while looking at the night sky, and Cai Que was lying on her stomach next to her.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a majestic figure came to her side, "You are Hu Xianxian?" ”
Hu Xian Xian squinted at him, "You are the Barbarian Mountain Immortal Shangren?" ”
Shang Ren snorted coldly, "I heard that you are very dissatisfied with my daughter's marriage to the lord of Qingqiu?" ”
"I'm dissatisfied, what? You're just an earth immortal, I don't understand what you're trying to figure out? He even sacrificed himself for this. ”
"Hu Xianxian, what do you know? I still think my daughter is at a loss for marrying Lie Yufeng! Isn't he just good-looking? In terms of knowledge and courage, my daughter is much taller than him! Earth Immortals and Earth Immortals are not the same, and the abilities I possess may not be as good as the Immortal Golden Immortal in some ways. ”
Hu Xianxian stood up, "You say that, I'm a little curious about your daughter." ”
Shang Ren smiled proudly: "Okay, let you see my daughter's peerless elegance, and you can understand that Lie Yufeng is not worthy of my daughter!" Three days later, it's time to return home, and I'm going to hold a family banquet in the Manshan Land Temple, and if you can come at that time, you'll know how good my daughter is. ”
Hu Xianxian thought about it for a while, and when he saw this Shangren Qiyu Xuanang, he expected that his daughter would not be too bad, maybe it was not ugly at all as rumored. Moreover, the family banquet set up in the Land Temple is definitely more casual than this big wedding banquet, and you can take a closer look at whether Lie Yufeng is sincere in marrying Shang Weiran.
She promised, "Okay, just go, I'll see how good she is." ”
Three days later, the lord of the country, Yufeng and the queen Shang Weiran, took Hu Xianxian and dozens of followers, and left Qingqiu Country to Demanshan Land Temple.
This land temple is in the middle of the reckless mountains, it is small and broken, Hu Xianxian can't help but worry about Shangren: how can he entertain these dozens of people? These people were enough to crush his little ruined temple.
Shang Ren warmly welcomed them into the temple, and after Hu Xianxian entered, he found that there was a cave inside. It turned out that this small ruined temple was built against the mountain wall, and the small temple outside was a cover to cover people's ears and eyes, and Shang Ren lived in the cave behind the mountain wall.
This cave house, the more you go inside, the more spacious you see, not only spacious, but also the pavilions and pavilions in the interior are also built very elegantly.
Shang Ren was warm to everyone, and Shang Weiran was very considerate to Lie Yufeng, and his eyebrows were full of affection for him.
Hu Xianxian was no longer so repulsive to the people of the Shang family, but catching a glimpse of Shang Weiran's appearance made her feel uncomfortable in her heart.
Shang Weiran was born a little like her father, and her wide eyebrows and eyes made her look heroic. In fact, she is a little masculine and a little feminine Lie Yufeng, there is a different kind of harmonious beauty.
Unfortunately, her complexion was dark purple, and there was a twisted purple-black pimple on her right cheek. Her hair was yellow and thin, and the gorgeous phoenix crown looked funny on her head.
On the other hand, Lie Yufeng is really a beautiful man with a face like a crown of jade and eyes like paint. Hu Xianxian remembered the scene of him standing under the kapok tree, and the red petals fell beside him. The petals floated up his head and ran down his hair, like a pair of gentle hands caressing his hair affectionately......
Hu Xianxian saw that Lie Yufeng's hair was combed very neatly today, just looking at his hair tied in the golden crown, he could imagine how the person who combed his hair meticulously combed him.
Hu Xianxian thought about these and fell into a trance, Shang Weiran smiled and asked: "Miss Hu, you have been staring at the hair bun of the lord of the country, what is there on his head?" ”
"Nothing foreign, I just wondered who made him such a nice bun."
"Miss Hu, I understand what you mean......", Shang Weiran's face showed slight anger, "There are some things, let's talk about them in detail after the banquet, how about it?" ”
Hu Xianxian snorted coldly and replied, she looked at Shang Weiran's angry face and thought, this person will definitely not be as generous as she preached to others.
After the banquet, Shang Weiran really invited her to talk to the spring in the depths of the cave. Hu Xianxian didn't want to go, but Lie Yufeng was by her side, and she also tried her best to invite, so Hu Xianxian had to go.
This cave is a flat square cave dug out of the place, but behind this square cave there is a secret door leading to the natural karst cave. The spring water that Shang Weiran said was in the cave, and Hu Xianxian was reluctant to drill into those dark and narrow places since he drilled the dark passage under the sweet water well of Du Wanzhi's house.
Walking in the narrow hole with a bow body, Hu Xianxian was unspeakably flustered in her heart, if she didn't trust Lie Yufeng, she would have suspected that they were looking for a secluded place to murder her.
Fortunately, this narrow cave is not long, and soon you will reach the side of the spring, and the cave here is tall and wide. There are strange-shaped stalactites hanging on the top of the cave, and the cave is extremely cool, not like the outside
The world is so muggy.
Just when Hu Xianxian was paying attention to those stones, she heard a "plop" sound, and Lie Yufeng and his wife both knelt in front of her.
Hu Xianxian panicked all of a sudden, and was worried that they were plotting to kill him, why did he make such a big gift to himself?
She stammered, "Hurry up...... Get up! Alas...... Oh my God...... You...... What are you doing here......"
Lie Yufeng said solemnly: "Ask Miss Hu to save the people of Qingqiu Country." ”
Hu Xianxian went to help them, and said, "I promised to help you a long time ago, so you don't have to do this." ”
Lie Yufeng refused to get up, and Shang Weiran said slowly: "The lord of the country used to plan to unite you and Cheng Haofeng and their forces to regain power, but I didn't expect something to happen to them...... Now, Qingqiu Country is in danger, and the country is going to make a risky move. If this move wants to play a surprising role, you may have to let Miss Hu take risks. ”
"I'm not afraid to take risks. It's just that I think you and Lie Yuxun have been in a stalemate, not to the point of 'danger', right? ”
Lie Yufeng's hands clenched into fists, and he said in a heavy tone: "This time, I really can't find a more suitable person than Miss Hu to put Miss Hu in danger. Miss Hu, if you promise to help me, the chance of you successfully escaping is only 1 in 10,000......"
Hu Xianxian shouted: "One in 10,000? Then he smiled playfully, "Okay, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, I'm just that just in case." They're afraid of me. ”
She forcibly helped the monks to get up, and said that they would kneel down again, but she did not agree to their request.
After they got up, they introduced the real situation in Qingqiu Kingdom to Hu Xianxian.
Although this column of imperial lords has the support of some of his subordinates, he has always dared not directly replace Lie Yufeng because of the last orders of the former king and the first prince.
Lie Yufeng had no intention of being in power, but at the beginning, he was only hindered by the dying instructions of his father and eldest brother, and he did not want to make their souls uneasy and reluctantly took over the power. He thought that as soon as the three-year filial piety period passed, he would give way to the second brother.
Later, Lie Yufeng found that Lie Yuxun was arrogant and domineering, and he also ruled the country with severe punishment. As soon as the ministers and the people showed the slightest dissatisfaction with the Emperor, he would brutally kill the opponents.
Lie Yufeng asked some upright old ministers to persuade Lie Yuxun more, and he also thought that Lie Yuxun could change.
It wasn't until Uncle Sanwang was imprisoned that Lie Yufeng was really opposed to Lie Yuxun. Once he had an opposing mentality, Lie Yufeng began to calmly pay attention to Lie Yuxun's every move.
Lie Yufeng found out that Lie Yuxun was in contact with a group of mysterious people outside the Qingqiu Kingdom, and these people instigated Lie Yuxun to do things against the sky and let the Qingqiu Kingdom replace the human world.
Lie Yufeng wanted to stop Lie Yuxun, but his power had been hollowed out and could not be stopped.
What makes Lie Yufeng jealous of Lie Yuxun the most is not that he has many subjects who don't know the truth to support him, but that he has a princess who can make Gu.
Hu Xianxian was taken aback: "Are you saying that the princess who looks very delicate can do Gu magic?" ”
Lie Yufeng nodded and said: "Princess Regent Gong Qian'er seems to be deferential and gentle to the prince, but in fact, the prince is obedient to her. ”
Hu Xianxian understood a little, but also didn't understand, "Even if she knows Gu magic, she is only one person after all, how can she make you so jealous?" ”
Lie Yufeng said angrily: "She is only one person, but my second brother listened to her instigation and helped her attract a lot of helpers to cultivate a group of blood spiders in Qingqiu Country!" ”
"Blood spiders?" Hu Xianxian thought about it for a moment, "When I first came to Qingqiu Country, I heard them mention blood spiders, and I thought it was a spider that could spit red spider silk. ”
Lie Yufeng said: "That's because they deliberately tested you, to see if you can't see their details." Seeing that you are just recuperating from your injuries, I really don't know the details of them, so I won't deal with you anymore. ”
Hu Xianxian looked at Shang Weiran, "You've found a way to restrain those blood spiders?" ”
Shang Weiran raised his head slightly, "I'm good at driving Gu and poisoning." ”
Hu Xianxian let out an "oh" and asked again: "You should have already arranged how to deal with Lie Yuxun, right?" I guess it was to take advantage of the fact that when the Imperial Lords saw that you were newly married, and their precautions against you were lessened, they suddenly counterattacked them? The 3,000-year-old column contacted relatives and friends to help each other, and the lord of the country led his cronies to directly kill the rebels, and the queen's family dealt with the blood spiders? ”
Shang Weiran replied with a smile: "Miss Hu is really smart, and that's basically how she planned. ”
Hu Xianxian didn't feel proud when he heard the praise, and asked them puzzledly: "But I don't seem to be able to play a big role?" You begged me so much, you shouldn't just let me go into battle and kill, right? ”
Lie Yufeng and Shang Weiran glanced at each other, and then Shang Weiran said: "What Miss Hu needs to do is really dangerous, I made the idea to ask you to go to the risk." If anything happens, hate me. ”
Hu Xianxian smiled "hehe", "Tell me what you want me to do, if you don't say it, I really hate you when I'm in a hurry." ”
Shang Weiran hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Gong Qian'er got the help of the Orihun gang and raised a few purple blood spiders, and I currently have no way to restrain those purple blood spiders. Only the Heavenly Thunder can kill those purple blood spiders, but the Qingqiu Kingdom cannot trigger the Heavenly Thunder. ”
Hu Xianxian knew that Qingqiu Country was just a mirror fantasy world, not a real world, and nodded: "Qingqiu Country has a special aura, and it is indeed difficult to attract heavenly thunder. ”
Lie Yufeng continued: "Not only is it difficult to trigger the heavenly thunder in Qingqiu Kingdom, but if the heavenly thunder is forcibly triggered, it will cause many innocent people to be harmed. ”
Hu Xianxian knew that most of the people in Qingqiu Country were half-human and half-fox with low cultivation, and if they triggered the heavenly thunder, these people were likely to be mistakenly injured as monsters.
Hu Xianxian asked, "Do you want me to lure the blood spider out of Qingqiu Country?" ”
Shang Weiran said: "That's so", and looked at Hu Xianxian with a little embarrassment, "But it's not just that." ”
Hu Xianxian was puzzled, "Then what else do you have to do?" ”
Shang Weiran bit her lower lip lightly, looked at Hu Xianxian for a long time and said with a crying voice: "Those blood spiders may not be very afraid of even the thunderstorm...... In order to ensure that they were wiped out in one fell swoop, my father set a trap...... Miss Hu wants to lead them all into the trap...... This trap prevents them from escaping for a certain amount of time...... In this way, the heavenly thunder can be repeatedly induced by the human until the purple blood spiders are all chopped to death......"
Hu Xianxian grinned, "You don't want to lock me in a trap and let me be struck by thunder, right?" ”
Monk Lie Yufeng glanced at each other, his eyes full of tears. Hu Xianxian could hear Lie Yufeng's finger joints, which were clucked by him.
Shang Weiran wiped away her tears and smiled reluctantly: "I'm a very vicious woman, aren't I?" The trap set by my father is a kind of formation, and it is difficult for people to get out once they enter, and if they are released, there will be loopholes in the formation. And this kind of formation is made by borrowing the resentment of the yin soul of the earth, and the immortal will destroy the aura of the formation when he enters. ”
"Then aren't you afraid that ordinary people will break in by mistake?"
"Ordinary people only delay for a while when they go in, but this formation has a limited time and will not accidentally hurt people. But because of the limited time, there is no room for a little leakage. ”
Hu Xianxian rubbed his temples and said slowly, "Understood." Those who can lure the blood spider out of the Qingqiu country must have a certain amount of mana, and ordinary mortals have to die before they can lead the blood spider. After draining the Blood Spider, you must enter the trap so that the Blood Spider can follow into the trap as well. The righteousness of the immortals and the resentment of the yin souls clash with each other, which will destroy the formation. I, a person who has no Dao books but has a Heavenly Immortal cultivation, can not only attract blood spiders, but also will not destroy the formation, so I am the best candidate. ”
Shang Weiran nodded and said sincerely: "Miss Hu, this is all my idea. I don't have a plan for both, I'm pressed for time, and I'm afraid they'll come up with something they can't deal with. ”
Lie Yufeng looked at Hu Xianxian guiltily, "Miss Hu, I proposed this idea to Wei Ran, at first she didn't know that you couldn't avoid the heavenly thunder. ”
Hu Xianxian chuckled, walked to the spring, picked up the spring water and took a sip. Trapping her and the purple blood spider in the formation and being bombarded by the thunder was very vicious, but she really couldn't resentfully them.
She didn't want them to feel too much guilt in their hearts, so she said indifferently: "It's so sweet water, if I don't die in a big disaster, I'll come here and live comfortably for a few days." ”
Lie Yufeng and his wife knelt down again, and Hu Xianxian didn't help them. She felt that she was going to die, and she could afford to kneel down from them. She walked out of the cave, smiling brightly and walking lightly, until she was completely out of sight, and they were still on their knees.
On the way back to Qingqiu Country from the Land Temple, the group did not speak much, and the atmosphere was cold.
Just after entering the palace, when Lie Yufeng and his wife were about to enter the main hall, Hu Xianxian asked: "Queen Niangniang, you help him so much, are you not afraid that he will lose you in the future?" ”
Shang Weiran was stunned, and then looked at Lie Yufeng, "What I love is a man who is knowledgeable and responsible." No matter how much I occupy in his heart, as long as he can become a wise monarch worthy of the people, he will do me nothing. ”
"Even if he has always had affection for another woman in his heart, and he still asks that woman to comb his hair every day, can you not be jealous and resentful?"
Shang Weiran smiled lightly: "You're talking about Miss Hong'er, right?" With the red girl holding his heart, he will not be tempted by those charming women. And I believe that Miss Hong'er will not be willing to let him become a mediocre coward who evades responsibility, and she will not let the lord of the country betray her for her treason. ”
Hu Xianxian "tsk" a few times, smiled and said to Lie Yufeng: "The queen is virtuous and generous, confidant and understanding, and there is a virtuous concubine who regards you as the sky, the lord of the country is so blessed." ”
Lie Yufeng nodded slightly, with a blank expression: "Thank you Miss Hu for your praise." ”
Hu Xianxian ran towards the place where he lived with a smile, and said as he ran: "Shang Weiran, you are a good match for Lie Yufeng!" I've got you! ”
