Chapter 11: Who Are You?
The sun shone brightly on the undulating desert like yellow hills. The golden desert stretches endlessly, the edges blurred into a white line, and that is the end of the sun on this land.
A horse is moving leisurely across the desert.
Next to the horse was a group of maroon horses, on which the mysterious man who had taken Tang Shu away last night was sitting, frowning without saying a word, with a rope tied to his wrist and tied to the horse, and on that horse was hanging a man, with his hair scattered, because he hung on the horse's back to reveal his white neck, and his eyes were closed, like a pig about to be sent to the slaughterhouse. It was Tang Shu.
The man's eyes narrowed under the strong light, making them even deeper and more charming.
After a while, a short murmur was heard. The man looked at Tang Shu next to her, who was about to hang upside down in an extremely ugly posture with interest, she was opening a pair of misty eyes, looking at everything around her sleepily and confusedly.
"Awake?" The mysterious man looked at her, his eyes narrowing slightly, and he glanced at her unbearable ...... of the gesture.
"Where is this??" Tang Shu trembled and wanted to sit up from the horse, but he was really incompetent, and the whole person hung on the horse like this, feeling that the food in his belly was about to be pushed out.
Tang Shu could only look at the mysterious man with a blank eye.
As if he hadn't seen it, he replied very angrily, "Didn't you come from here?" A black mask covered his face, and one eye narrowed slightly.
Tang Shu seemed to hear something from his tone, "How do you know, did you follow me?" β
"Do I look idle?"
The horses walked leisurely in the desert, and the man sat on the horse, basking in the sun very elegantly...... Isn't it?
"By the way, why did you capture me?" Tang Shu was a little uncomfortable being tossed by the horse, her voice was a little weak, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. The corners of his mouth pulled out a sentence, "Do you want me to go back and be Mrs. Zhai?" Let me tell you, as a socialist successor, I ......" Tang Shu paused and took a breath, almost gritting her teeth, "I will not give in!" β
In exchange for a contemptuous laugh - for some reason, Tang Shu always felt that he felt a little familiar with his smile like this, and he said lightly, "Do you think you have this kind of charm for me to marry you back and be the wife of the village?" And what is a socialist successor? β
Well...... It seems that the length is lacking a little, but it can be made up for with personality......
Tang Shu pretended to ignore his previous question and replied directly, "The successor of socialism is the successor of socialism!" β
Well, the mysterious man looked ahead faintly, and thought in his heart with great calm, to forgive a naΓ―ve fool.
He frowned, obviously not looking at her, but suddenly said, "Don't you think you're hanging on the horse like this...... Do horses get uncomfortable? β
What the?
What the!
Horse...... Horses uncomfortable?
Well, Tang Shu finally realized that he was not as important as a horse, and gave him an angry look, "Then why don't you come and help me adjust my posture?" Looking at his puzzled expression, Tang Shu blinked his eyes and looked innocent, "My arm is numb." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh"
Just as the mysterious man was about to help her pull her over, Tang Shu suddenly used the fastest speed in her life to quickly stretch out a hand that should have been stiff and numb towards the mysterious man who was not prepared at all.
Tang Shu's fingers were about to touch the black cloth......
The mysterious man's left hand was tightly squeezed into the soft hand, and a pair of eyes flashed with cold stars.
"No, no, no...... Why do you bring a mask, you are not afraid to cover your face with prickly heat on this hot day, stingy ghost, you must be too ugly to let me see it! β
Someone's face darkened little by little. Tang Shu stopped her mouth in amusement, turned over and staggered on the horse.
"Hungry...... Tang Shu cried out as she touched her flat stomach.
"You're so loud." A cold sound.
"Do you have anything to eat?" Tang Shu continued to ask without giving up.
"Nope!" A sound of impatience.
"Where are you going to take me?" Tang Shu said desperately.
The man took a deep breath as if to calm himself, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly under the veil, "Slaughterhouse." β
Tang Shu finally quieted down.
The night seeps into the sun-lit white sky, blending into a strange rose red and golden yellow. The temperature is getting cooler and no longer as hot as it was at noon. Tang Shu dozed off the horse, and the man held a long rope in his hand, leashing the tired horse under Tang Shu's seat, whose steps were already a little weak.
"I'm tired." The man touched the horse's silky and shiny fur and whispered.
"Huh? How long has it been gone? Tang Shu seemed to have just woken up from her dream, yawning in a daze.
"Six or seven days."
"Where are you going to take me......"
"Taiguanguo."
"Are you going to drag me to the army?" Tang Shu said in surprise.
"Pulling you to fill the army, it's just one more corpse, and besides, you're a woman, what kind of army do you want to fill?" He raised an eyebrow at her.
"How do you know I'm a woman! Yes? Did you do something to me after knocking me unconscious? Tang Shu stood up and looked at him vigilantly.
The man sneered disdainfully, "Where did you get this kind of confidence, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't choose to eat?" β
Tang Shu was speechless for a while.
The man laughed again, and said as if it were true or false, "Could it be that you joined the army because you fell in love with the handsome General Shi of Taiguan Country?" β
...... "Well, if it weren't for the fact that you seem to be strong in martial arts, someone like you would have been GAMEQVER in the first episode, okay?"
Tang Shu secretly rolled her eyes. She hated the topic. So he turned around and asked, "Then what are you doing with me in Taiguanguo?" Tang Shu felt a little embarrassed in her heart, after all, she had only come all the way from Taiguan Country not long ago.
"I won't take you to Joto. I've placed you in a restaurant near the frontier. β
"Huh? You're going to a restaurant and sell me? β
ββ¦β¦ Does anyone buy it? β
"Isn't the frontier close to the battlefield?" Tang Shu thought of Shi Xu again, and knocked his head hard as if he was a little blaming himself.
"Yes, there is the second most beautiful man in my country on the frontier, send you to feast your eyes." He seemed to be in a good mood, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the sunset and desert in front of him were magnificent.
"Who's the first?" She knew that the second most beautiful man was naturally talking about Shi Xu.
Unexpectedly, the person next to her glanced at her proudly, "Naturally, it's me." β
β¦β¦ Well, for people who don't seem to have a good brain, be tolerant, well, tolerant. "Huh," Tang Shu exhaled deeply, and said with a straight face, "We don't know each other, why did you bring me to Taiguan Country and settle a place for me, what are your intentions for me?" β
The man didn't seem to expect her to question him suddenly, his stunned eyes became serious, and he asked rhetorically, "What do you think there is in you that can make people want to try against you?" β
Not in a joking tone, Tang Shu looked at his eyes seriously, dark and clear, but they were not such simple eyes. Tang Shu thought suspiciously, she didn't have anything worth thinking about so much, could it be, "Do you think I'm Tang Shu, the princess of Puhe Kingdom?" Tang Shu blurted out.
Sure enough, there is a saying that it takes a few months for a person to learn to speak, but it takes decades for him to learn to shut up...... It seems that he is still too naΓ―ve. After all, this is not the same world as it used to be.
The man raised his eyebrows and looked at her, with a hint of exploration in his eyes, "Do you mean...... Aren't you Tang Shu, the illegitimate daughter of the former queen of Puhe Kingdom? β
What? How did he even know about his illegitimate daughter? And what, what former queen? Oh my God, Tang Shu felt a little confused, "Wait, how do you know so much, and, what former queen?" What do you mean? "Could it be that her 'queen mother' has stepped down, so Tang Shu told herself to save her queen mother, is it because someone framed her queen mother? Oh my God, what's going on?
The man glanced at him, and there seemed to be a hint of contempt in his eyes, "Don't you even know this?" It seems that you have been in trouble for the past few months in Puhe Country. β
How did he know I was gone for three months...... Conspiracy, this must be a conspiracy! Tang Shu felt some despair.
After the man finished speaking, he explained, as if he didn't think it was a secret, and it seemed that he didn't think it mattered to tell Tang Shu, "Ming Zhen, the former queen of Puhe Kingdom, has an illegitimate daughter, who is called Tang Shu. Although Ming Zhen is the queen, her heart is not ruthless enough, unlike her sister Ming Hui. Half a year ago, the Puhe regime was gradually hollowed out by Minghui. Ming Hui accidentally learned that when Ming Zhen had not yet become the queen of Puhe Kingdom, that is, when she was fifteen years old, she suddenly suffered from dysentery, and under the pretext of going back to the countryside to recuperate, there was a hidden story behind this matter. β
looked at Tang Shu, who was full of curiosity and seemed to have no idea, and continued, "It's because Ming Zhen is pregnant before marriage, and her biological father is unknown." β
"Huh?"
So Minghui took advantage of this matter to corrupt Ming Zhen's virtues, incite the ministers of the court, encourage the ignorant people, and launch a palace rebellion at the Spring Banquet. The fire was full of fire, and the blood flowed like a river, and Minghui took advantage of the situation to ascend to the throne and become the new queen of Puhe Country. β
Tang Shu felt indignant, and the sudden anger in her heart was suppressed, and she said very unceremoniously, "This Minghui is not a good guy!" You see that she is even harmful to her own sister, what kind of good person can she be? I think it's better to let Ming Zhen be the queen! "Tang Shu really didn't expect that it was the existence of 'himself' that would make such a change in a country's dynasty.
What's more, no matter what, I have crossed into this body, so I should be responsible for this. Tang Shu asked with a sudden sense of responsibility, "Then where did Queen Mingzhen go later?" β
"Nowhere to be found."
"Aren't you caught?" Tang Shu was a little lucky.
"Probably not, as far as I know, Minghui is also looking for the whereabouts of the queen." The man groaned and said, suddenly blinking his eyes, giving birth to a naughty interest, but the bottom of his eyes was deep, "If you are not Tang Shu, then who are you?" β
