Chapter 64: The stars twinkled in her eyes
"Do you know why Jiang Li put those corpses in the Ice Palace?"
Cold ice can keep the corpse from rotting, but Cangzi Meng doesn't understand why Jiang Li did this.
Nansheng is a country that hardly snows in winter, unlike Beizhao's severe cold. This is what Jiang Li once said. So you can imagine how much manpower and money it takes to build an ice palace.
And he put Cangzi Meng's family inside, which occupies a lot of resources. Because no one wants to do anything else where the body is stored.
Zhao Xizhi shook his head: "Don't talk about me, even Nansheng's ministers don't know what Jiang Li is doing this for." If I want to know, I can send someone to check it. ”
"No need, this palace is just curious, there is no need to let Zhao Gongzi bother with it." After speaking, Cangzimeng raised his head and looked at Yan Mingjiu.
Yan Mingjiu nodded knowingly and said, "Zhao Xizhi, who is the queen of Nansheng?" ”
Cangzimeng didn't expect him to ask this, Nansheng's queen is not Jiang Li's woman.
Zhao Xizhi replied: "I know, it's from Donghua Kingdom, and it's not easy to get a woman." ”
"Well, if there is a problem in the future, this king will still look for you, now you can go and go about your own business."
"Okay, if the prince has anything to do with me in the future, he will definitely know everything."
Zhao Xizhi got up and was about to leave, but Yan Mingjiu said again: "Wait, your piano is broken, how much compensation do you need to go down to find Nianbai." ”
Zhao Xizhi glanced at the broken piano on the ground, waved his hand and replied: "It's okay, I heard the sound of the piano just now, it must have been played by the mother, and the piano should be a gift for the mother." ”
He also heard the sound of the harp, and for some reason, he was full of curiosity about the beautiful woman beside the Hades.
But on second thought, he was a man who was curious about anything good.
After Zhao Xizhi left, Cangzimeng's body, which had been tense, was finally freed from the shackles, and the obsession in his heart was no longer shackled.
"Lord, the concubine wants to go out for a walk."
"Okay."
Cangzi Meng needs to divert his attention, so he wants to go out for a walk so that he doesn't continue to fall into endless resentment.
She has never been liberated, and has been bound since the day of the destruction of the Northern Zhao.
Yan Mingjiu didn't say anything, nor did anything, just quietly accompanied her.
Out of Tingfeng Pavilion, Cangzimeng said to Dai Yin: "You haven't been out for a long time, let Nianbai take you around, you can rest assured that the palace will follow the prince, and you can go back to the palace when you have had enough." ”
"Okay." Dai Yin agreed, and then said to Yan Mingjiu: "Lord Wang, please take care of Niangniang." ”
In Dai Yin's heart, Yan Mingjiu has never been a person who can go all the way with Cangzi Meng. He was high above, like a god, and there was light in him, but it was not enough to illuminate the dream of Cangzi in hell.
It's not that Cangzi Meng is unworthy, but that he, Yan Mingjiu, is not worthy of Cangzi Meng!
asked Yan Mingjiu to take care of Cangzi Meng because Dai Yin knew that the current Cangzi Meng must have her own ideas, otherwise she would not let herself get closer. And which familiar tune is the best illustration.
It was getting late, and the setting sun stained the clouds red on the horizon, making the last struggle before the night came.
Cangzi Meng looked at the blood-stained clouds in the sky and muttered, "The sunset of any day is the same as today." The beauty makes the heart palpitate. ”
The heavy snow after sunset was surprisingly cold.
"Today is today, and since it has passed, don't dwell on the past."
Yan Mingjiu didn't know what day Cangzi Meng's mouth was, so he could only say this.
Cangzimeng stopped, took a deep breath, and cleared his mind.
"Good!"
In the past, she would try not to think about it, and she couldn't think about what was going to happen.
After adjusting his mood, Cangzi Meng began to walk around in earnest.
Yan Mingjiu was a little overwhelmed by her sudden transformation, and finally came to a conclusion in his heart, the woman is really a strange creature!
Later, much later, he came to another different conclusion, the women in the world are the same for a thousand times, and only Cangzi Meng is the most unique one.
Passing by a stall selling ghost noodles, Cang Zimeng picked up one and pointed it at his face, turned his head to see that Yan Mingjiu was still walking forward, then reached out and grabbed the clothes on his back waist and gently tugged at it, realizing that he turned back.
Yan Mingjiu saw Cangzi Meng with a red ghost face, and his originally calm eyes were dyed with a hint of charm.
"Fun?"
Cang Zimeng took off the ghost face on his face, and then stretched out his hand and put the mask on Yan Mingjiu's face, seeing that Yan Mingjiu did not react, Cang Zimeng pursed his lips and put the mask back in place: "It's not fun." ”
Yan Mingjiu was stunned, looked at the back of Cangzi Meng, who had already walked away, and then looked at the mask that was placed on the stall.
Seeing that Yan Mingjiu hadn't left, the stall owner said, "Do you want to buy one?" ”
Yan Mingjiu shook his head, and then raised his foot to follow Cangzi Meng's footsteps.
Unconsciously, Cangzi Meng came to the stone bridge, and finally saw what the women's flower baskets were.
At this time, the night has begun to thicken, and there is a woman selling lanterns by the bridge.
Cangzi Meng stepped forward and asked, "May I ask why so many people here carry this kind of lantern?" ”
The woman replied, "The girl is talking about the women carrying the flower baskets, right?" ”
"Hmm." Cangzi Meng nodded.
"Those are the women who came to the river today to pray for blessings, and today is the Flower God Festival, and they hope that the God of Flowers will come to them with a beautiful marriage and a hundred flowers."
Cangzi nodded as if he didn't understand: "What about you?" ”
She did not carry a flower basket like other women, but set up a stall selling delicate lotus lanterns.
The woman's eyes flashed slightly: "I, ah, don't need to pray to the god of flowers." Do you want to buy a lotus lantern? I did it myself. ”
As she spoke, she picked up the most delicate and beautiful one of the lotus lanterns and handed it to Cangzi Meng.
Cangzimeng turned his head to look at Yan Mingjiu, and said weakly: "I want to ......"
She liked the lotus lamp in the woman's hand very much, the copper-colored edging surrounded the outline of the lotus flower, and the wrapped petals were still veined when you looked closely, just like the real thing. But she didn't bring any money, just like Yan Mingjiu asking for help.
Yan Mingjiu nodded, and Cangzimeng immediately happily took the lotus lamp in the woman's hand. Watching Yan Mingjiu pay the money, Cang Zimeng smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
At that moment, the many lights on the street were not as bright as the starlight in her eyes.
Cangzi Meng held the lotus lantern and continued to walk around other places.
There are not only lotus lanterns sold by the bridge, but also many things that Cangzi Meng has not seen before.
From this end of the bridge to the other part, Cangzi Meng is full of curiosity about everything like a child.
She pointed to a stall selling fried chestnuts with sugar and said to Yan Mingjiu, "I want to eat that." ”
Yan Mingjiu did not refuse, walked to the stall and said to the stall owner, "Have a chestnut." ”
"Okay, son, three pennies." The stall owner enthusiastically put the chestnuts into a paper bag and handed them to Yan Mingjiu.
Yan Mingjiu took the chestnut after paying the money, handed it to Cangzi Meng, and asked, "What else do you want?" ”
Cangzi Meng raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Zi Meng can have anything to want?" She didn't call herself the palace or call him the prince, because she felt that she was outside like a commoner, and it felt very comfortable to be unrestrained.
Yan Mingjiu nodded and replied, "Of course, today was to accompany you out, and it was regarded as a reward for those previous tasks." ”
"That's good."
Only then did Cang Zimeng know that Yan Mingjiu came out with him. An indescribable feeling grows from the bottom of my heart and lingers for a long time.
She walked around and looked west, forgetting the pain in the Tingfeng Pavilion for a while, Yan Mingjiu had been following her closely, never leaving.
A figure in the crowd ran wildly all the way and accidentally bumped into Cangzi Meng. The man hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
It was a ragged man, hunched over and holding something in his arms, Cangzi Meng was not injured, and just wanted to say that he was okay and ran away.
Her right wrist was suddenly grabbed by Yan Mingjiu, and she was pulled quickly in the direction that the man had left.
Cangzimeng didn't react to what was happening, so he heard Yan Mingjiu whisper: "Don't speak, someone is following us." ”
Cang Zimeng hurriedly followed Yan Mingjiu's footsteps and shuttled through the crowd together.
She looked up at Yan Mingjiu's generous back, feeling unprecedentedly stable.
It seems that as long as he is there, he doesn't have to worry about whatever he will face.
Out of the downtown area, the number of pedestrians gradually decreased.
Suddenly, three masked men in black appeared in front of them, all armed with long swords.
Yan Mingjiu stopped Cangzimeng behind him and said to her, "Don't move. Then he reached out and drew the long sword that he had been wearing at his waist.
A man in black rushed up and swung a sword at Yan Mingjiu, who let go of Cangzi Meng and quickly became entangled with the man in black.
And the other two saw that they had an opportunity and went to Cangzi's dream. Their purpose was obviously not Yan Mingjiu, but Cangzi Meng beside her.
Cangzi dreamed that the target of the two was herself, so she quickly reached out and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it at the two.
The mud and sand entered his eyes, and there was a tingling pain, and tears flowed. One of them quickly relented and scolded: "Stinky woman, look for death!" ”
"You're the one looking for death." Yan Mingjiu replied in a cold voice, accompanied by the last whimper of the man in black, and then fell to the ground, out of breath.
The man in black who had just been entangled with Yan Mingjiu had already fallen in a pool of blood at some point.
There was only one of the three left, and when the last person saw this, he quickly moved behind Cangzi Meng, and the long sword was against her neck.
The speed was so fast that Cangzi Meng had no time to react, and there was no time to escape.
"Let her go!"
In the face of Yan Mingjiu's threat, the man in black was not afraid: "Lord Hades, if you want this woman's life, you can see one person in Fanyin Temple tomorrow." ”
After speaking, he threw out something, and white smoke filled the night, obscuring his vision.
After the white eyes dissipated, there was no longer the shadow of the black-clothed man and Cangzi Dream in front of Yan Mingjiu, only a lotus lamp, and a broken petal.
The night sky was full of stars, but there were no bright eyes in front of her.
Yan Mingjiu scolded secretly: "Damn! ”
It was he who was careless.
