Chapter 21. Asahi Yoshino (Silkworm River Chapter)
At night, the Ruan Mansion was lit up with lights, and the feast was held for Ruan Fangnian, the little prince who returned the next day, and Rui Silkworm Ji, a girl who bravely rescued him in the mountains and escorted him all the way.
On the huge round carved dining table, a pair of ivory chopsticks in Rui Silkworm Ji's hand kept trembling, Mrs. Ruan saw that she had not eaten for a long time, and only said that she had just arrived and was not used to everything, so she sandwiched every good dish on the table with a full of chopsticks, and the safflower bone china bowl was piled up into a hill in a blink of an eye.
Rui Silkworm Ji's eyebrows beat violently, and she secretly looked at her mother in the world, 29,000 years have not changed the appearance of the former Empress of the White Kingdom, it is the lady Ruan Shuai who smiled at her in front of her and took care of her thoughtfully, Fontaine Guanzhen.
"Where does Miss Rui's family live, how many people are in the room, but I am a person in the White Emperor City?"
Ruan Sichen sat at the head of the round table and asked Rui Silkworm Ji with a pleasant face.
Rui Silkworm Ji's lips pursed lightly for a long time, and she said in a low voice:
"The little girl has no home and no room, her parents have long since died, and I am currently living in the mountains, relying on the mountains to get things, wild cranes and clouds, but also at ease. ”
When Mrs. Ruan heard this, she immediately frowned: "Then how can you do it? A girl's family lives alone in the barren mountains and mountains, don't say that beasts and monsters are just encountering bad people, what can you do?"
Rui Silkworm Ji smiled: "Madame, don't worry, Silkworm has been a teacher since childhood, learning from east to west, learning some martial arts fists and feet, Qihuang techniques, ordinary bad people and monsters, silkworms are not afraid." ”
As soon as the words came out, Rui Silkworm Ji paused, and then realized that she had used Mu Yinchuan's milk name when he was in the Tianshan Mountains.
After she went to the Tianshan Mountains, Mu Yinchuan once asked her how she wanted to call her, and she regarded Shizun as the only relative in the world, so she didn't want to think about it, and replied crisply:
"Master is my reborn father, then follow my father and mother, call me silkworm!"
But Master is not a father.
Since he is not his biological father, the master can do a lot of things to his apprentice that his biological father and mother can never do to his children, which is irreversible and irreplaceable, blood.
Rui Silkworm Ji slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the parents and newborn younger brothers in front of her, who were sitting next to each other, or gobbling up, and there was a Ruan family Yizi who was always secretly looking at her, Yin Xiang.
At that time, she had no brothers and sisters, and was a unique prince, and now, the former Bai Guojun and Empress have both been reincarnated in the Ruan family and the Fontaine family among the four nobles of the White Empire, and have realized the family marriage, and now she has added a new brother, Ruan Fang Nian.
Rui Silkworm Ji suddenly lowered her head and smiled bitterly. Younger brother, I don't know if I am qualified to call Ruan Fangnian like this? After all, he now has no blood with himself, in this life, she is not the daughter of Ruan Sichen and Fontaine Guanzhen at all, she has no blood relationship with them, and naturally she will not be Ruan Fangnian's sister.
"Since there is no one waiting for Miss Rui, there is no need for the girl to rush back to the mountain tonight, and besides, it is indeed inappropriate for the girl's family to live alone in the mountains. The old man has a proposal, Miss Rui might as well stay in the old man's mansion for a few days, and then the old man will send someone to buy a mansion for the girl in the White Emperor City, and then help the girl move back to the city from the mountains.
Mrs. Ruan nodded again and again, and when Rui Silkworm Ji heard that the second elder wanted to buy a mansion for her in the city, she hurriedly waved her hand and refused:
"No, no, thank you two for your kindness! Silkworm has its own residence in the White Emperor City. ”
Madame Ruan was surprised, "Yes, where do you live?"
Rui Silkworm Ji thought for a while, and simply replied truthfully: "A few days ago, the villagers in the Imperial City cleaned up the White Emperor Palace for me, and I lived in the palace. ”
As soon as these words came out, Ruan Sichen and his wife and Yin Xiang were taken aback, Ruan Sichen stood up at the end of the round table and said:
"Girl, could it be that you are the descendant of the White Emperor who rode a fairy beast and drove away eight thousand bear demons among the people in the city?"
Rui Silkworm Ji had a gloomy face, lowered her head and said, "I didn't drive away the bear demons, it was my immortal beast jade that drove them away." ”
"The girl's surname Rui, but the grass is up and down, which means that the fire ascends to heaven, and the wood is the fire of the fire?"
Ruan Dushuai asked in a deep voice, and Rui Silkworm Ji remembered that what he was talking about now was his father's interpretation of the imperial surname "Rui" back then, and nodded affirmatively at the moment.
Ruan Sichen was so excited that he walked down from the round table, paced in the hall of Zhongzheng again and again, and suddenly stopped:
"Miss Rui, whether you are the real descendant of the Emperor of the White Kingdom, Ruan Mou can't make a conclusion based on the opinions of the people alone, tonight the girl must stay in the mansion, and when Ruan is ready, Miss Rui will be led to a place tomorrow, where it can be proved whether the girl is a true descendant of the emperor. ”
Madame Ruan, Fontaine Wanzhen, looked up at her husband in surprise, and then at Rui Silkworm Ji, frowned, and did not speak.
Rui Silkworm Ji couldn't guess what was wrong, she just stared at Ruan Sichen's face that was exactly the same as that of the Emperor of the White Kingdom back then, and nodded again and again as if she had obeyed her father's teachings.
In the early morning of the next day, Rui Silkworm Ji was lying on the bed, and she heard the loud quarrels and screams from outside the house, she rubbed her eyes and sat up, only to hear the Ruan Mansion family outside the window running back and forth, running and shouting:
"Oh no! The eldest lady has been caught by a monster!"
"Hurry up and report to the Governor and General Yin, go and save Miss!"
Rui Silkworm Ji had a bad intuition in her heart, opened the door in her clothes, and ran to the gate of Ruan's mansion in a few steps, only to see a group of family members sealing the two doors of the mansion with rocks, large tables and water tanks in the mansion, all of them were so frightened that they were trembling inside, and a young girl's bright scolding voice came from outside the mansion:
"Monster, dare to come to my Ruan Shuai's mansion and eat my Seven Fire Meteor Whip!"
Rui Silkworm Ji picked up the immortal cultivation and jumped on the wall, and sure enough, she saw the snow wolf and fox Yuli lying upright on the high wall of the carved flowers surrounding Ruan's mansion, sticking out her tongue to visit the mansion.
A girl wrapped in red was raising the whip in her hand, crackling and whipping at Yuli's body, Yuli just stretched her neck to look into the house wall, and the leather whip hit her body, and her hair didn't shake, as if tickling.
"Tamari!"
Rui Silkworm Ji rushed down from mid-air, Yuli suddenly howled happily, eight long tails rolled her into her arms, the red strawberry big nose unscrupulously attached to her cheeks, sniffing and licking vigorously, Rui Silkworm Ji hugged it, and said guiltily:
"I'm sorry, Yuli, I didn't return all night last night, I must have worried you!"
Yuli nodded again and again, her head rubbed against her, and the girl in red on the side said angrily:
"Hey, get out of the way, don't get in the way of me subduing the youkai!"
Rui Silkworm Ji looked back, only to see that this girl had a good face, a red face, embroidered eyebrows, a proud nose, a light lip, and a white skin like snow, she was really a beauty one in a hundred, but the huge leather whip in her hand and the red tasseled armor wrapped around her body showed the difference in her identity.
At this moment, the two doors of the house were squeaked open by a thin slit, and a small servant poked his head out and said:
"Miss, the lord and lady are here, are you okay?
"It's going to be soon!"
The red-tasseled girl turned around and threw a long whip at the snow wolf fox again, seeing that the whip wind was about to draw to Rui Silkworm Ji, Yuli changed her normality, the fox claws were raised, and she grabbed the girl's whip body in mid-air, and gently dragged it, and the girl slid down the steps with an upside-down onion, and rolled to the feet of Yuli and Rui Silkworm Ji.
The red-tasseled girl raised her head, with a look of indignation, Rui Silkworm Ji said softly: "Are you okay?" Reaching out to hug her, the girl waved her arm and shook it vigorously, Rui Silkworm Ji snapped and was hit on the head by her arm, and half of her cheek suddenly swollen.
"Who are you, how did you get out of my house?, and how did you get so close to this monster?!"
"It's not a monster, it's a fairy beast... ”
Rui Silkworm Ji stroked her face, and used her body to block the snow wolf fox Yuli who had shown a grinning posture towards the red-tasseled girl, she had repeated the concept that Yuli was not a monster several times in two days, and she couldn't let its performance be wasted at this moment.
The gate of the mansion roared to the four sides of the wide open, from which hundreds of warriors with arrows and bows poured out in a neat pace, and in the blink of an eye, the snow wolf fox and the silkworm Ji were surrounded by water around the city wall, each military general looked down at the red-tasseled girl at the feet of a man and a beast, looked at each other, and did not dare to release arrows.
The red-tasseled girl stood up from the ground with righteous indignation, and just as Ruan Sichen and Fontaine Yunzhen also hurriedly stepped out of the mansion, the girl turned around and shouted:
"Father, mother, who is this woman, how did she fly out of our house?"
"Asahi, come over to me!"
Ruan Sichen was furious, the red-tasseled girl pouted, and turned around to snatch the big leather whip on Yuli's paws, Yuli threw the leather whip away thousands of miles away with a hula, and didn't even look at her.
The red-tasseled girl's eyes widened, but she was yelled at by Ruan Sichen in public, and she didn't dare to make more mistakes at the moment, so she turned around and ran back to the main gate of Ruan's mansion.
Ruan Sichen pressed his daughter, stepped forward and looked at the snow-white jade in surprise, and exclaimed:
"Miss Rui, this is the fairy beast that drove away the eight thousand bear demons and saved the White Emperor City, what is it called... Snow wolf fox?"
Rui Silkworm Ji glanced at the red-tasseled girl in the distance with disgust, the girl was suddenly not to be outdone, Rui Silkworm Ji frowned, and hugged Ruan Sichen and said:
"That's right, this is the Snow Wolf Fox Yuli who saved the entire White Emperor City. Commander, please announce that the whole city, Yuli is a fairy beast, and it is the savior of the White Emperor City, so that those who don't know what to do will bully it again!"
Ruan Sichen nodded again and again, looking at the snow wolf fox sitting cross-legged like a human with eyes like an abyss, he couldn't help but take two steps closer, stretched out his hand, tentatively touched its snow-white fur, and sighed:
"Snow wolf fox, the imperial beast of the White Empire, the respect of the mountain and sea fairies in the wild saying, sure enough... It lives up to its name!"
Yuli didn't like to be touched, so he bared his teeth slightly at Ruan Sichen, Ruan Sichen hurriedly and quickly withdrew his palm and took two steps back, Rui Silkworm Ji smiled and pulled Yuli, pulled down its big ears and said softly:
"Yuli, this is the governor of Ruan Mansion, General Ruan Sichen, and my reincarnated father, why can't you recognize him?"
Yuli was stunned for a moment, a red tongue suddenly stretched out from the two rows of long teeth that were originally open, a long smile opened on the big fox's face, and the two front paws together, leaned over and bowed to Ruan Sichen, his head stuck to the ground and did not move, a picture of being caressed.
Ruan Sichen was taken aback, and said with a smile:
"What a clear and general spirit beast!Miss Rui, now everything points to the fact that you are the descendant of the Bai Kingdom shown on the twelve nautical chart stone tablets, but Sichen still needs to take you to the Mausoleum of the White Emperor under the ancestral lineage of my Ruan family. Only here can your identity be proven. Miss Rui, it is confirmed that you are indeed a descendant of the Emperor of the White Kingdom, which is of great significance to the entire Ten Seas and Nine Prefectures, would you like to follow me today? If this fairy beast doesn't mind, I can also accompany you!"
Rui Silkworm Ji looked at the jade lying on the ground and looking up at her, and smiled at Ruan Sichen.
"Miss Rui, please don't mind, the girl who accidentally hit the fairy beast just now is the eldest daughter of the old man, her name is Ruan Chaori, she is Fang Nian's sister. My Ruan family has been brave and good at fighting for generations, and they all fight the world on horseback, so my son and daughter under my knees have a very hot temper. The ancients said that having a daughter as a child can add a woman's backbone, and having a child as a daughter can increase the tenderness of the iron man, so I named my daughter Ruan Chaori and my son Ruan Fangnian, hoping that his sister and brother can help each other every day in their lives. ”
Rui Silkworm Ji looked down at Ruan Sichen and nodded indiscriminately, she rode all the way on Yuli, Ruan Sichen had to ride a high-headed fierce horse to trot on the side to catch up, and had to tilt his head to talk to her, Ruan's army followed all the way, and the footsteps of the generals were loud and tidy.
After many years, she is now nothing in front of her parents in her previous life. The former father and queen mother, now Ruan Sichen and Fontaine Guanzhen, they have a new child, a new identity and a completely different life from the previous life, they have already been in the underworld when they passed the wheel tower of the underworld all the memories of the past life, no longer remember 29,000 years ago, standing under the root of the beacon white emperor city, witnessing the two of them on the eaves of the emperor's palace, the little girl who cried so much.
In a lifetime, those family, friendship, and love that I thought would last forever and never be easy, turned out to be just the weight of a bowl of Meng Po soup.
"It's here!"
But he heard Yin Xiang standing in front of him, raising his arm high, and the long military commander behind him fluttered in the wind, spreading on the thousands of miles of wasteland in front of everyone, like a black imperial flag.
Thousands of troops and horses suddenly stopped in place, only to see that on the endless bare wasteland, there was a domed tomb with a radius of about five miles and a white jade roof.
"Miss Rui, this place is the ancestral mausoleum where my Ruan family has buried their bones for generations, but under this mausoleum, there is an infinite amount of things, girl, please follow me in to have a look. ”
After Ruan Sichen finished speaking, the horse came to Yin Xiang's mount, and Yin Xiang handed him a long drum with a golden handle from his arms, the waist of the drum was inlaid with red and green royal treasures, and on the top of the drum were two heavy black meteorites hanging down one left and one right.
Ruan Sichen raised his waist drum high, swaying left and right to the sky, and the sound of the meteorite hitting the drum was deep and loud, and under the blue sky and white sun, it spread throughout the entire boundless wasteland.
With the frequency of the drums, a thick crack was split in the entire domed mausoleum, which became bigger and bigger, and even the ground with the bottom of the mausoleum was slowly pushed to both sides.
In the depths of the earth's cracks, inch by inch, thousands of troops and horses who had stood underground for nearly 30,000 years, shining with emerald brilliance and armor, were exposed.
Rui Silkworm Ji stared at her eyes and inhaled a full breath of air into her chest.
She remembered clearly that these million-dollar blue statues with a majestic lineup and buried deep underground were the ones whose father had been trying to find a way to awaken when the capital of the White Kingdom was dying, but he failed to do so and destroyed the country, the Jade Emperor!
