Chapter 196: Hiding a Secret
As soon as Cher took a step, she paused so vividly.
She looked at Murong Yuan in front of her steadily, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing after a long time: "This is the most unfunny joke I've ever heard." β
Xue'er laughed so much that tears almost flowed out: "I've been living on an isolated island overseas since I can remember, and it's only been the past two or three months since I left, and I haven't been to your Western Desert at all, so how can I leave a portrait there?" If it's not that you're misremembering, you're reading it wrong. Or, there is indeed such a portrait in the Western Desert, but it is definitely not me! β
Murong Yuan was laughed at by her, but his attitude was unusually insistent: "I am not mistaken, let alone wrong." That portrait must be you, and it is you now, whether it is from the eyebrows or eyes, or from the temperament......"
He paused, put away his hippie smile, and looked cautious and serious: "As a person in the Western Desert royal family, I burn incense and kowtow in front of that portrait almost every month on the fifteenth day of the new year, how can I admit my mistake?" β
This sentence made Xue'er's laughter come to an abrupt end: Even if the Western Desert royal family has a portrait of "itself", how can you listen to the meaning of this Murong Yuan, and still worship it as a god? Still burning incense and prostrating?
Although the matter sounded extremely absurd, Murong Yuan's expression was extremely serious and serious, without a hint of joke, which made Xue'er believe it in her heart.
- If Murong Yuan just wanted to deceive himself into going to the Western Desert with her, he could make up a reason to make her curious, and there was no need to belittle himself like this, and he would burn incense and bow down on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month.
After all, the other party is still the emperor and grandson of the Western Desert, and his identity and status are there, how can he go to bow to the portrait of "himself" every month?
Xue'er suddenly couldn't laugh, and was silent for a long time before speaking again: "If what you said is true, then, why do you people from the Western Desert royal family go to worship a woman's portrait?" β
Murong Yuan said: "This is a rule that has existed since the time of Emperor Amaterasu, it is said that the portrait was painted by Emperor Amaterasu's biological mother, and the rules were also issued by Emperor Amaterasu's biological mother: All descendants of future generations must be worshiped devoutly." If you meet a real person, you must be worshiped as a ......"
Speaking of this, Murong Yuan hesitated for a moment, did not continue, but looked at Xue'er very seriously: "Are you willing to go back to the Western Desert with me?" β
"Bong why?" Xue'er had already believed five or six points in her heart, but she suddenly became interested in Murong Yuan's last words: "Why don't you say it?" β
Murong Yuan scratched his head: "If you are willing to go back to the Western Desert with me, I can say." β
Xue'er paused for a moment, and her tone suddenly became cold: "Is this a threat, or a condition?" β
Murong Yuan was taken aback by Xue'er's suddenly cold tone, and hurriedly shook his hand: "No, it's neither, it's ...... It's ......"
He hesitated again, and hesitated for a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "You can only understand when you see that portrait!" β
"According to what you mean, I have to follow you?" Xue'er said this very slowly, and as she spoke, she observed Murong Yuan's reaction, and her mind was spinning rapidly.
I vaguely remember that when he was holding a dagger to his neck yesterday, this Murong Yuan saw his expression for the first time, and the words he said later, "Pour the power of the West Desert and destroy your ten clans", but it can be connected with his attitude at the moment, as well as the matter of burning incense and bowing to him.
Murong Yuan looked at Xue'er blankly, as if he was waiting for the puppy that the owner threw to him, and the flattery on his face was obviously not wanted: "So, you agreed?" β
Xue'er looked at Murong Yuan scrutinically, but she could only see the sincerity in the other party's peach blossom eyes, or piety was more appropriate. However, it seems that he has fallen into the fog again, and he can't grasp any clues at all.
Once the seeds of curiosity are planted, they quickly take root and sprout. What's more, Xue'er's intuition in her heart told her: What Murong Yuan said was the truth, and the portrait of the Western Desert royal family was really related to herself!
It was just an intuition without any reason, which finally prompted Xue'er to agree to Murong Yuan and go to the Western Desert with the other party.
Murong Yuan was overjoyed, and he danced for a long time before he remembered what he was going to do next.
And Murong Yuan's next attitude also completely proved his words, treating Xue'er as if he was a god, nodding his head and obeying, making Xue'er feel uncomfortable!
Even, Murong Yuan inadvertently came out of his mouth with the phrase "Holy Mother and Grandmother", which made Xue'er laugh!
After obtaining Xue'er's consent, Murong Yuan almost immediately began to prepare, sending people to rush back to the Western Desert to report the news, and at the same time resigning to the Dongling Emperor.
Thinking of Murong Yuan's resignation to Emperor Dongling, Xue'er inevitably thought of Xuanyuan, so the question at the beginning was raised again: "Why can't they find Xuanyuan Yu or Yingli Yan Rumeiβor can't sense my existence, but you can?" β
Murong Yuan's face was solemn, and his eyes were full of seriousness: "Although I don't know why you can make so many masters unable to discover you, I can indeed sense your approximate location." If I had to say, all I could say was that it was a natural induction in my blood! β
The last sentence once again made Xue'er directly scorched: she couldn't fight with the Western Desert royal family, so where did the induction in her blood come from?
However, Murong Yuan still looked serious and serious, and there was no hint of joking!
When Murong Yuan told her that she was almost identical to the portrait that the Western Desert royal family had always worshipped, the only difference was that the forehead sand in the center of her eyebrows was deep and shallow, and the shock in Xue'er's heart was simply beyond measure.
Murong Yuan said that the portrait is almost the same as Xue'er's eyebrows, eyes and figure, and even there is a purple bead in the center of the eyebrows, which is the same size as the forehead sand in the center of Xue'er's eyebrows, but the purple is deeper, and it is also mixed with gold, silver, and gray colors, which are painted vividly.
So Xue'er couldn't help but think of the three changes in the forehead sand on her eyebrows, from red at the beginning, to pink later, and then to light purple now, if it changes again in the future......
Suddenly, what Xuanyuan Yu had said to herself suddenly appeared in her mind, this was probably a special kind of exercise, and if she continued to cultivate, she might have unexpected effects.
Cher suddenly realizes that she almost doesn't know herself!
Originally, I thought she was just an ordinary orphan girl, but now it seems that there are huge secrets hidden in her body that she doesn't know!
So, in the next time waiting for Murong Yuan to resign to the Dongling Emperor, Xue'er really began to examine herself, and conscientiously began to cultivate in accordance with the mental method of the Sangong Holy Maiden taught by Yan Rumei.
But it is not easy for Murong Yuan to take Xue'er back to the Western Desert, first of all, Xuanyuan Yu will not be able to pass this level, not to mention the other forces that want to find Xue'er's whereabouts and want to fish in troubled waters.
Although at the beginning, Xuanyuan Yu had warned, but the result was very effective, and almost everyone was speculating why a little-known woman beside the third prince Xuanyuan Yu made the emperor of the Western Desert care so much. If you find this woman and negotiate terms with the Western Desert royal family......
Therefore, after deciding to follow Murong Yuan to the Western Desert Palace to take a look at the portrait, Xue'er did not return to the capital with Murong Yuan at all.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and Cher walked out of the grass where she had been hiding last night, only to find that it was actually not far from the official road, and a few miles to the west, you could even reach a small village.
Xue'er temporarily found a place to live in this small village, waited for Murong Yuan to return to the capital to bid farewell to Emperor Dongling, and then followed Xue'er from this village to return to the Western Desert.
Murong Yuan resigned, and Emperor Dongling naturally wanted to keep it, but at this time, Murong Yuan's heart was like an arrow, and he couldn't wait to bring back the live-action version of this "Holy Mother and Grandmother" of the Western Desert Country immediately, after all, this is a major event related to the fortunes of the entire Western Desert Country!
As for the marriage with Dongling, and at the same time obstructing and destroying the marriage between Nanping and Dongling, it doesn't matter anymore!
What's more, if his "Virgin and Grandmother" suddenly repented, or something happened while waiting in a small village outside the capital, he had no place to cry.
Besides, Xuanyuan Yu searched for a whole night, until the sky showed the white belly of the fish, and he didn't find Xue'er's shadow.
Xuanyuan even had an illusion, as if Xue'er was no longer in this world, and even if he broke his throat and broke his leg, he would not be able to find her.
This feeling made his heart tremble, so he directly chose to ignore the emperor's request to let him attend the banquet of Murong Yuan, the emperor of the Western Desert!
Yingli still wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Xuanyuan Yu's cold words: "Yingli-"
This is the first time Xuanyuan Yu called Yingli's full name, but it made Yingli's heart suddenly froze, and he swallowed back the words he wanted to speak.
"I know what you're trying to say!" Xuanyuan Yu is like a piece of ice that is bubbling cold, making people shiver from the cold when they get a little closer, "Don't take your bunch of big truths again, the reason why I will become the 'third prince', I know it in my heart, and you know it in my heart, are you looking at it all now?" β
"Don't think I don't know what you've been doing all these days!" Xuanyuan Yu stared at the shadow with his head down, eager to use his gaze to dig a few transparent holes in the other party's body, "As Yan Rumei said, don't forget your identity!" β
"If Cher is not here, I keep this disguise, what is the point of this identity?" Xuanyuan Yu changed his words, "It's better to give up directly, that will be more free!" β
"But, young master-" Ying Li stopped talking, ignoring Xuanyuan Yu's almost murderous gaze, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on saying it: "Now that the matter is now, it is already difficult to ride a tiger, even if the young master wants to get out, it is not an easy thing to do." β
Xuanyuan swept the teacup on the table in front of him to the ground with a palm, and made a crisp sound of porcelain breaking, and his voice sounded again: "It's a big deal!" β
Yingli was taken aback by Xuanyuan's actions, and after a long silence, he finally knelt down slowly: "Subordinate, know your mistake!" β
