Chapter 454: Divine Decree and Secret Letter
Spring returns to the earth, the temperature warms up, the grass and trees that suddenly withered down are once again quietly green, the spring season is warm, between Dongling and Ruiyang, the former capital of Nanping, there is an endless stream of stagecoaches, passing the holy decree of the Dongling Emperor.
Among them, there are those who commend the three princes Xuanyuan, and there are also those who want to settle the people of the Zhongli clan in Nanping, and so on. Xuanyuan Yu left part of the army to garrison, and finally took the people of the Zhongli clan of Nanping, out of Ruiyang City, all the way to the north, over the Luoxia Mountains, and counted on Dongling to go.
In the past, Nanping is no longer warm and moist like spring all year round, except for a small number of untouched primitive dense forests in the south, the climate has been no different from the north of Luoxia Mountain.
Since the Amaterasu Empire 500 years ago, this continent has once again achieved consent, and its third prince Xuanyuan Yu of the Middle East has made great achievements in the annals of history, and has been praised and flattered by various people, and is as famous as Amaterasu.
Emperor Xuanyuan Defeng of Dongling has no seal, no reward, a holy decree announced to the world, directly canonized Xuanyuan Yu as the prince, and at the same time Dali Temple Qing Jiu Zilin's niece Jiuhua Ying as the crown princess, just wait for Xuanyuan Yu to return to Beijing, after the wedding!
For a time, Xuanyuan Yu was in the limelight, and wherever the army he led passed, no matter how big or small the officials, they all went out of the city to greet each other, and when they did their best to flatter, there were daughters, sisters, nieces, and ...... As long as there are unmarried female relatives, they all want to take care of them with them, in case they are taken by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who will succeed to the throne immediately.
Even among the common people, some girls who think they are as beautiful as flowers and will definitely fly on the branches, and the arrogant girls have also shown up one after another, among the people who are welcomed by the middle of the road, just for the "one" that may not be available in 10,000.
The more daring woman directly threw handkerchiefs, sachets and other gadgets towards Xuanyuan Yu on the horse, and throwing fruit and car is not enough to describe! That autumn wave is not a "secret" send, it is obvious that you don't want it!
When Xuanyuan received this holy decree, it was still at least half a distance from the capital, he immediately stood up, rushed to the eunuch who passed the decree, snatched the holy decree and tore it in half, threw it on the eunuch's face, and his face was so blue that it was almost hideous: "You go back and tell Xuanyuan De, I won't accept this will!" ”
The eunuch thought that he had got a good errand, but he still thought that if he ran this time, the reward must be indispensable. The most unfortunate thing is to be familiar with His Royal Highness the Prince, and after succeeding to the throne in the future, he can also take a step higher, but he didn't expect this to happen, and he was directly frightened to the ground, and his legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground, stammering and unable to speak for a long time.
"Your Highness, this ...... This ......" he trembled for a long time before he held back a few words, "Your Majesty, the emperor has already announced to the world......"
"What did you say?"
Xuanyuan almost suspected that he had misheard, stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the other party's collar, his eyes were about to kill: "What did you say?" ”
Without waiting for the eunuch's answer, a breath of urine diffused, and the eunuch's lower body was wet at some point, his lips trembled, and his face was crying without tears: "Old slave, old slave said ......"
Xuanyuan Yu didn't have the heart to listen to what he said, and the anger in his heart was unquenchable, and he grabbed the other party's collar and threw the eunuch to the ground again.
The eunuch grinned in pain, but he didn't dare to snort, only looked at Xuanyuan timidly.
Xuanyuan Yu kicked him again: "Now, go back immediately and tell Xuanyuan De, let him take back the holy decree that was announced to the world, otherwise-"
His face was cold: "I'll betray Dongling directly!" ”
The eunuch ran away, but Xuanyuan's face was still ugly. He glanced at Xue'er, who was dressed as a little soldier next to him, and didn't know what to say for a while.
After all, in this military camp, a woman suddenly appeared, no different from a piece of fragrant meat appearing in the hungry wolves, in order not to bring unnecessary trouble to Xuanyuan, Xue'er asked Xuanyuan Yu to find her a set of small soldier costumes, pretending to be a guard to follow Xuanyuanyu.
Xue'er naturally heard the words of the eunuch, but she didn't know what to say for a while.
Xuanyuan was so angry that he almost smashed everything he could smash, but fortunately, at this time, they were stationed outside the city, and there were not too many things for him to smash in the marching tent, but the people in the big tent were all driven out by him, and only Xue'er was left.
He took Xue'er into his arms and said incoherently: "Xue'er, believe me, there will be a way." ”
Xue'er's mind was still thinking about the three words "Jiuhua Ying", when she entered Beijing with Yang Jin, Shan Zheng Shan Yu and others, she was kicked out of the team at the city gate, and she met a woman called Jiuhua Ying, a woman as gentle and pure as the bright moon.
In the days that followed, thanks to her care, he was able to successfully enter the eldest princess's fragrance tasting meeting and see Lingxin.
Such a beautiful woman, if she is rejected by Xuanyuan Yu so bluntly, how will she see people in the future?
She vaguely remembered that at that time, the identity of Jiuhua Ying's uncle was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and it was said in the entry decree that it was Dali Siqing, and his position and rank had been improved, but I don't know if this was to cooperate with Jiuhua Ying's future identity as the crown princess, or for other reasons.
Xuanyuan Yu said a lot more, all kinds of assurances, but he didn't get a response from Xue'er for a long time. He finally sensed that something was wrong, so he grabbed Xue'er's shoulders and looked down into her eyes: "Xue'er, don't think nonsense, don't worry, I am not uncommon to be the crown prince, I just need to ......"
The word "you" did not leave the warehouse, and footsteps sounded outside the tent again, and the shrill voice was still trembling: "Your Highness, the old slave still has a letter, and the chief manager of Yingli said that if His Royal Highness refuses to accept the order, he will order the old slave to take it out." ”
It's just that Xuanyuan suddenly became angry, which scared him a lot, and for a while he just wanted to quickly escape from this terrifying figure like a demon god, and only after running out did he remember that there was such a backhand.
Xuanyuan's face became difficult to look at again, his expression changed uncertainly, and he didn't speak for a long time.
As if he knew that Xuanyuan Yu in the tent was hesitating, the eunuch added in a trembling voice; "The chief steward also said that if His Highness refuses to read the letter, he will say...... Just two words. ”
"Background."
After these two words came out, Xuanyuan Yu's whole person stiffened on the spot, and even the anger on his face stiffened, and the whole person seemed to become a cold stone statue in an instant.
All the changes in Xuanyuan Yu, Xue'er can see it in her eyes, and she can understand his hesitation and entanglement at the moment.
Yingli has seen Xuanyuan Yu since he was a child, and he is extremely familiar, so he can naturally know what is his weakness, and he naturally knows what method to use to let Xuanyuan Yu go step by step according to his wishes.
Life experience, this is something that Xuanyuan Yu has always wanted to find out, but he has never had a clue, how can he let go of any possible clues?
It's just that what he said just now was too full, and he suddenly softened at the moment, and I am afraid it will be difficult to be convincing in the future.
Xue'er thought for a while, sighed softly in her heart, walked to the door of the tent gently, opened the curtain, took the dark yellow envelope from the hand of the eunuch who sent the decree, checked the fire paint on it, and then bowed her head and signaled the eunuch to leave.
The eunuch had long lost the mind to beg for rewards, and when he saw Xue'er coming out, he was still a little hesitant, but after Xue'er said that he was a personal soldier beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xuanyuan, he hurriedly handed over the envelope, and then turned around and left like a runaway, and returned to Beijing to resume his life.
Xue'er took the envelope, opened the curtain and came in, and saw that Xuanyuan Yu was still stunned in place, with a complicated expression, and suddenly felt infinite sympathy for the man in front of her.
Everyone knows that he is famous and in the limelight, who sees the helplessness behind him?
Sighing softly, Xue'er walked to Xuanyuan's side, pinched both sides of the envelope with both hands, and said softly, "Xuanyuan, you...... Do you want to see it? ”
Xuanyuan Yu was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and after seeing clearly that the person in front of him was Xue'er, his face softened a little, but he didn't answer the letter, but looked at Xue'er fixedly: "Do you want me to see it?" ”
In his dark and deep eyes, he was helpless and dazed at the moment, and Xue'er's heart couldn't help but hurt again.
However, how can Cher answer this question?
Even if she didn't read it, she could understand that the letter in her hand must be related to Xuanyuan Yu's life experience. The person who wrote the letter was Yingli again, and with the words of the eunuch who had just passed the message, even if she didn't read the letter, she could guess that it would definitely ask Xuanyuan Yu to accept the holy decree of Emperor Dongling.
Accept the position of the crown prince and accept Jiuhua Ying as the crown princess, and then tell him the secret of his life experience.
Coming all the way from Nanping, I can be said to be inseparable from him, and I am naturally very clear about his intentions, and I slowly accepted this man from the bottom of my heart. However, how could he let him give up the opportunity to find out his true background because of his own selfishness?
And his life experience, or whether Xuanyuan Yu has something to do with the Chengtian Sect Master, isn't that what she wants to know?
So, Cher also hesitated.
She lowered her eyelids, a little afraid to make eye contact with Xuanyuan, because she didn't know how to answer.
Xuanyuan Yu's matter, how can she make decisions for him?
What's more, it's a major event involving his life experience?
Xuanyuan Yu looked at the silent woman in front of him, silent for a long time, his expression changed, and finally let out a long sigh and reached out to take the envelope.
Sometimes, the attitude of silence is enough to say everything.
In Xuanyuan's opinion, Xue'er was silent, just hoping that he could find out his life experience, that is to say, she was still very concerned about her life experience and her relationship with the Chengtian Sect.
This way of getting along, it can't be said that the ears and temples are grinding, but they are also inseparable, but after all, they can't resist the opposition of identity!
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was helpless or lost, and since she wanted to, then it would be as she wished.
Xue'er only felt that her hands were empty, and her heart seemed to be hollowed out, as if something was disappearing from her life.
Next, both men fell silent.
When the eunuch came, it was early in the morning, and the order for Xuanyuan to open had not yet been issued, so it was not issued on this day.
Great army, rest in place for a day.
It was night, everything was silent, except for the soldiers patrolling at night, the entire barracks were stationed, and it was quiet.
The two of them were almost silent for a day, and Xuanyuan Yu never took out the letter to read it, and Xue'er didn't mention it again.
Between them, it seems that they have forgotten the secret letter about Xuanyuan's life at the same time.
