The Xiongnu soon sent an emissary with a letter of surrender signed by the new Ren Shan Yu. They have been forced to move westward, and will probably not be present at the border for a long time.

Everything has subsided, and I have decided to return to the court. Ying Ning was faintly uneasy in her heart, and always felt that when she went back, there would be many obstacles between her and Wu Qi. The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, they will not allow me to be with her. The Queen Mother is not afraid, after all, she is my mother, and everything she does is also for my consideration. And that emperor, he is a god, and there is an incalculable hatred between him and her. Retribution, I'm afraid there is no end. It's just that no matter what, we can't afford to make any mistakes.

When I went back, I was not in a hurry, and I stopped and stopped along the way, which was more like a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Yingning and Wuqi had an extremely pleasant time, and when they were about to get to Luoyang City, the weather changed suddenly, and suddenly it rained heavily. It was already dusk, and I happened to pass by the Qingchan Temple, so I ordered to take shelter from the rain in the Qingchan Temple.

Cheongchanji Temple is a royal temple, so it is a little more ornate than other temples. The sister-in-law of Qingchan Temple, seeing that it was the triumphant King Jing who came to take shelter from the rain, immediately cleaned up a few clean and tidy rooms.

A sister-in-law brought food, Yingning felt tired, ate early, and fell asleep.

The rain gradually subsided, and I stood under the eaves of the porch, and all the houses were hidden in the misty rain and mist, like a landscape painting. Behind him, Mo Yan took a cloak and put it on for him, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Wu Zhi glanced at Mo Yan, pulled his cloak, and said indifferently: "You go and rest." ”

Mo Yan said yes, and was about to go back to the room, but suddenly saw someone in the distance, hooking his head from time to time, and his behavior was very suspicious. He drew his saber and asked in a loud voice, "Who is there?" ”

A few guards on the side immediately took action and arrested the little nun. The little nun knelt on the ground with her head bowed, her body trembling slightly, and she did not say a word.

Wu Qi looked at it coldly, and Mo Yan asked on the side, "Who are you?" Don't you know that the prince is here? Why bother? ”

The little nun cowered and looked up at Wu Qi for a long time, her eyes were red, as if she had been frightened by something.

Wu Qi frowned, and suddenly reached out and took off her hat, and a green hair fell down. I asked unconvincedly, "Are you Qingchun?" ”

It's no wonder that I didn't dare to admit it, Qingchun was much thinner than before, his cheeks were sunken, his cheekbones were prominent, his lips were pale, and his eyes were wide open, completely no longer round and plump as before. A pampered daughter, how did she come to Qingchan Temple and become like this?

Qingchun nodded hurriedly and looked at him in horror, looking not quite in his right mind. She suddenly rushed over and grabbed Wu Qi's leg, looked around, and said nervously: "She's not human, she's not human......"

Mo Yan dragged her away, she was still an abnormal appearance, her teeth were clenched, her eyes were about to pop out, and she kept saying: "She's not human, she's not human, she'll hurt you, lord." She's here to hurt you, don't be with her. ”

I squatted down, stared at her and asked, "Who do you say is not human?" Who is she? ”

Qingchun held his head in his hands and closed his eyes, as if he was caught in a memory. In dark places, fierce demons eat the waters of the river. Her body was soaked in the river, as if it were gnawed by countless ants, and as if it was burned by fire. She was in so much pain, it hurt so much. Such scenes often appear in her dreams, she can't sleep steadily, can't eat, so she can only get thinner and thinner, and lose a little energy.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and said almost madly: "Don't come to me, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't have let people kill you." Please spare me, I don't want to die, I don't want to go into the underworld. They're horrible, horrible. ”

Qingchun's almost crazy words made Wu Qi more and more confused, he took her hand and waved wildly, and asked, "Who are they?" You make it clear. ”

It's just that Qingchun is already a little delirious, and he can't even say a complete sentence, crying, laughing, and laughing, like crazy.

Naturally, I couldn't ask anything, so I got up slowly and beckoned the guards to send Qingchun back. He suddenly remembered that when he came back, he released the Huns who had come to sneak attack. As they were leaving, one of them said, "That little soldier who broke into the tent alone, he is not a man, he can do magic, he can fly." He can kill people when he stands there motionless. His eyes were green, green like ghosts. ”

"Mo Yan, do you think there's something wrong with Yingning?" I thought about it for a long time before I asked. He didn't want to suspect Ying Ning of anything, at least she hadn't hurt him.

"Does the prince want to listen to the truth?" Mo Yan asked lightly.

Wu Qi hummed and said, "Even if you say something, even if you say something wrong, this king will not blame." ”

Mo Yan exhaled and said, "I didn't think anything was wrong, but since she went after Hutun single-handedly and killed him, the last general felt strange." When Huton fled, he was followed by dozens of generals, and it was very difficult for one person to kill him. Even if the prince joins forces with the last general, he may not be able to move him. And that dense forest is like a huge labyrinth, Miss Yingning has never been there, how did she get out? All this is incredible, but the prince doesn't ask, and the last general can't say anything. The statements of those Huns seem to be consistent with Qingchun's statements, and Miss Yingning does have some problems. But ......" Mo Yan suddenly stopped and didn't continue.

"But what?" I looked at him and asked.

"However, Miss Yingning was very good to the prince, and she did not harm the prince, and also helped the prince kill Huton and repelled the Huns. Even if her identity is a little abnormal, she should be a good person. Mo Yan said what he thought in his heart, no matter who Yingning was, as long as it was harmless to the prince, he was willing to believe in Yingning.

The rain had stopped, and I had been standing there for nearly an hour. He was a little dazed, should he ask Ying Ning clearly. Who is she? Why did he have an inexplicable familiarity with her, and he was attracted to her without warning, as if he had been poisoned. She's not human, how ridiculous it sounds. She is not human, what can she be? Monsters? Or is it a ghost?

When Yingning woke up, it was already early in the morning. She packed up and pushed the door out, just as she saw me talking to a sister-in-law. She walked over and found that the sister-in-law had let Qingchun go.

Although she was so thin that she was almost out of shape, Ying Ning still recognized her at a glance. Because Qingchun looked at her at the moment, she had seen it. It was when she brought Qingchun to the underworld that day that she was so afraid. Could it be that Qingchun remembered something, she obviously erased her memory. Perhaps it was something that stimulated her to remind her of the scene of that day.

"Why is Qingchun here?" Ying Ning asked calmly.

Wu Qi looked at Ying Ning indifferently, trying to see something from her face, but unfortunately her face was expressionless, her eyes were clear and calm, and he couldn't detect anything at all.

"When she made a mistake, I sent her here, and it was clean so that she could sharpen her character." I replied.

"Oh, she doesn't look good now, why did she lose weight like this?" Ying Ning said softly.

Qingchun hid behind Wu Qi, clutching the clothes on his back, and his eyes looked at Ying Ning from time to time. Ying Ning's fingers moved slightly, wanting to quietly chant a spell and erase Qingchun's memory again. It's just that I stared at her intently, and she couldn't find a chance to start for a while.

Qingchun suddenly screamed miserably, stretched out his finger and pointed at Ying Ning and said, "It's you, it's you, it's you who hurt me." In order to save the prince with an antidote, you asked someone to throw me into the river, and the river would bite people, and it would bite me all over my body. You are the devil! She shook her head again and laughed maniacally, "No, you're not, they call you...... What are you called...... I can't remember. ”

Ying Ning glared at her and suddenly smiled: "What's wrong with her?" Crazy? What nonsense? When did I hurt you, and what is the river that bites? ”

I asked someone to take away the crazy Qingchun, he looked at Yingning, and asked lightly: "I was poisoned at that time, how did you get the antidote from Qingchun?" ”

Ying Ning clenched his fingers, and when he asked, he was suspicious. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I found a few people to scare her, she was timid, and she was so scared that she gave me the antidote." ”

"How scared?" I asked again.

Ying Ning finally raised her head to look at him, her face solemn: "Pretending to be a ghost." After a while, she bit her lip, her eyes were slightly red, and she said coldly: "You don't believe me, since you don't believe me, just ask all your questions, lest you yourself be suspicious in private, and you may think of what I think?" ”

I let out a long sigh, I thought about leaving it at that, but there were some things that he didn't ask clearly, and he did have doubts. He didn't hold back and asked, "How did you kill Huton?" And how did you get out of the jungle? ”

Ying Ning was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "I have been following Huton, and I didn't know how to do it, so that I could kill him and get out safely." Unexpectedly, one of Huton's subordinates took advantage of his injury and wanted to replace him, so they killed each other. I waited until they were so scarred that they could barely fight anymore that I struck down and killed Huton. As for how I got out of the woods, I was naturally sensitive to directions, and when I got into the woods, I made some subtle marks along the way. I didn't get out of the woods very easily, and spent most of the day almost part. It was tough for me, and I thought at one point that I might have to die there. ”

"I came back unharmed, and you didn't ask me anything. Now I don't understand, why do you have to be suspicious of me, who told you what? And what did Qingchun tell you? You want to doubt me because of a few words of nonsense, and you know how sad I feel in my heart. I don't even have this trust between us? No matter what I do, I never want to hurt you, everything I do is for you. Even if everyone stands in our way, I want to be with you. ”

Wu Qi felt that his question was too stupid, and when he asked, he saw Ying Ning's surprised expression, and he knew that he was wrong. He tried to hug her, but she avoided her. The corners of her eyes were moist, and I was extremely distressed: "I'm sorry, Yingning, I shouldn't." ”

Ying Ning wiped the tears that were about to flow out, and said in a low voice: "It's not early, let's hurry up, why should we go to Luoyang City today." ”

"Yingning, I know it's wrong." I shouted behind her.

Ying Ning stopped, looked back at him and asked, "Since you know your mistakes, how do you correct them?" ”

Wu Qi walked up to her with a smile and leaned over her cheek and kissed her: "I will not question you in the future, what you do is right." If I doubt you any more, I will let the heavens strike and thunder against me. ”

Ying Ning covered his mouth and said with a frown: "What nonsense? Can you talk nonsense like that? You are a prince anyway, how can you be so open-mouthed? ”

Wu Qi held her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am deeply blessed, and God will not dare to split me." ”

"Stop talking nonsense." Ying Ning said with disgust.

"Okay, then can you forgive me?"

"Forgive me, you're like this, what else can I do?" Ying Ning was helpless, really afraid that he would say some nonsense again.
