Chapter Ninety-Four: True and False, and False and True
"Quick! Fast! The man in black raised his voice, raised his arm sharply, and shook his hand vigorously, "I don't know what bit me, help me catch it." β
"Don't shake it off, how can I see it clearly." The other man in black grabbed the arm of the man in black and looked through the moonlight, only to see a long thumb-thick cricket on his index finger.
"It hurts, what's it?" The man in black said.
"Alright, don't talk about it," he grabbed it, killed it with internal force, and tossed it aside, "It's just a lala cricket, where can it hurt." β
The man in black still couldn't help but say, "Isn't this thing supposed to be hibernating?" How did you get here! β
"Probably hibernating, but the nest was dug up as a grave." The other man in black said, standing up, "Okay, I've confirmed that Bai Zhuo is really dead, so you don't need to spend it here anymore." β
"Wait." The man in black didn't get up, and reached out to touch Bai Zhuo's face again, "I'm not sure if he's Bai Zhuo." β
"You, you didn't even dare to look at the dead just now, but now you don't let go." The other man in black said, his tone unchanged, but his hand was on the hilt of his sword.
"I can't help it." The man in black said, withdrew his hand, and stood up as well, "No human skin mask, let's go." β
The other man in black lowered his hand, "It's good to be sure it's Bai Zhuo." β
"Don't worry, I've never made a mistake with this move." The man in black spoke, with a bit of relaxation, "I can be regarded as being able to rest well in the inn for a night, these days I have been sleeping in the wild every day, and I am uncomfortable to death." β
"Our task is to follow the hall master to explain back to the first floor of the Tianyuan Kingdom, and now that the hall master has set off, how can we rest." The other man in black said, turning and walking towards the horse tethered to a tree.
"Still in a hurry!" The man in black shouted in surprise, raising his voice.
The other man in black ignored him, turned on his horse, and urged the horse away.
"Hey! Wait for me! The man in black shouted, ran over, and got on his horse and chased after him.
The sound of horses' hooves faded away, until it was completely gone, and the boy behind the snowdrift showed his head.
Phew-
He blew his whistle and waited in place, the uneasiness on his face gone, replaced by composure.
After a while, the female doctor pushed a cart up the gentle mountain road.
The carts were filled with firewood with torches stuck in them.
"Master!" Xiao Tong immediately greeted him, "Just now one of those two people will recognize the human skin mask." β
He said, taking the torch over.
"Did he notice something different?" The female doctor asked, walked to a row of graves, and found the blazing grave at a glance.
She picked up the shovel next to her and began to dig.
"The man said he hadn't found it." The boy said, and came over and lit up the field with torches.
The female doctor did not speak again, but in a quarter of an hour she had dug up all the earth to the side.
She dragged Bai Zhuo to the side of the cart and threw him onto the cart with all her might.
The little boy handed over the torch, still very worried, "Master, so many people have died, you can't hide it, what should we do?" β
The female doctor said in a deep voice, "A rich family passed through my town, and the bandits on the mountain saw that they were interested in making money, and the two sides fought, and in the end both sides were injured. β
Xiao Tong hesitated and said, "But the bandits are still in the mountains, so they will soon be discovered by the officers and soldiers." β
"Who said the bandits are still in the mountains." The female doctor lit the firewood, along with the white burning corpse.
The child doesn't understand.
The female doctor smiled rarely, "Loyal guards, how could the prince let them die." β
"What is the death?" Xiao Tong reacted violently, his eyes widened, "Then these graves are all ......"
The fire crackled the firewood, and the female doctor stepped aside without speaking.
The child's face was lit up and down.
How can this be done......
The next day, the Flying Dragon Kingdom, the capital, the Imperial Palace.
Today is the 49th birthday of the queen, and according to the rules, it should be done in a big way, and officials above the fourth rank should be ordered to bring their families to the palace to pay homage to the banquet.
But the queen has been worshiping the Buddha for many years, she doesn't eat fish and meat, she doesn't like to be lively, and she is not in good health, so she keeps it simple every year.
This year, too, is simple, but it's different from previous years.
Helian Qian returned to the palace safely, although he was not from the queen, but the queen loved him since he was a child, so he responded to his request, and asked Si Shan to organize a small birthday banquet, invited the emperor and the concubines of the palace, several imperial relatives and several ministers with their families, and there was no one.
However, there are many people in Rao, and the small thirty people will occupy the main hall for the banquet.
Helian Yue came early, and after greeting several ministers who had already arrived in the palace, he sat down in the first place.
Jing Xueqing pretended to be his attendant and stood on the side and waited.
Around midnight, the eunuchs outside the hall chanted loudly, "The queen mother has arrivedβHer Royal Highness has arrivedβ"
The chatter in the hall stopped, and the ministers and their families immediately straightened their clothes and got up to give their respects.
The concubines also sat upright, leaving only the ninth princess who was still in her arms babbling in the arms of the nurse.
There was a room, and the queen and 'Helian Qian' came in together.
"Mr. Du Chuanjing's craftsmanship in making human skin masks is unparalleled in the world, and today I will see if what he said is true." Helian Yue whispered at the same time.
"I am determined not to disappoint the second prince." Jing Xueqing said that he had already known from Bai Zhuo that this Helian Qian was fake, so how could he make a mistake again.
While the two were talking, the queen and 'Helian Qian' had already come closer.
Helian Yue gave a salute, "Queen Mother, Royal Brother." β
The Empress and Helian Qian stopped.
'Helian Qian' replied, "Second brother." β
The queen asked, "Why didn't the second prince bring the imperial concubine over?" But the princess is not in good health? β
Now when he mentioned Yang Meihe Lianyue, he was angry, and when the queen said this, his face stiffened.
The people around were also stunned, to say that Yangmei's current identity is really embarrassing, although the Flying Dragon Kingdom and the Tianyuan Kingdom are at war, but she can't die, and the identity of the imperial concubine can't be without, maybe one day the two countries that are fighting will be reconciled again!
Originally, this was nothing, which country had not appeared one or two protons, but the matter of who called Yangmei a servant girl couldn't be contained, and it was passed back, so even with Helian Yue became a rumor.
Originally, He Lianyue didn't care, but there was such a thing as catching rape before, and now when he mentioned Yangmei, he had a strong anger pouring out.
But this time, before he could have a seizure, the palace maid beside the queen said, "You slave, how dare you stare at the queen." β
Jing Xueqing lowered her head, "Don't dare." β
Helian frowned slightly, he felt that this slave was looking at him.
Sure enough, as if to confirm his thoughts, the minion secretly looked at him with his spare eyes.
'Helian Qian' felt that something was not quite right, "Are you looking at me?" β
Jing Xueqing still bowed her head, "Yes." β
"Why?" Helian asked.
"The slave is courageous, and he has no intention of offending His Highness." Jing Xueqing said, "I've seen His Highness before, but I always feel that His Highness is different from the original." β
'Helian Qian' heard this, and his heart jumped.
But Helian Yue's eyes lit up, which means that 'Helian Qian' is fake.
Dare to lie to him, he must teach this imposter a good lesson, no, let him die!
"Speaking of which......" He Lianyue sneered in her heart and opened her mouth, but before she finished speaking, outside the main hall, Gonggong Zhang rushed in.
"Your Highness, the second prince, the emperor is urgently summoned, go with the old slave." He said, looking so anxious that he didn't even salute.
As soon as these words came out, the first people to react were not Helian Yue and 'Helian Qian', but the ministers below.
"Father-in-law Zhang, what is the so-called matter of the emperor's urgent summons?"
"But state affairs?"
"Or is it a dragon discord?"
"Can you summon the Imperial Doctor?"
They stood up one after another, rushed to Grandpa Zhang's side, and asked urgently.
"It's a coincidence that the ministers are also here, so the old slave doesn't need to send someone to inform him." Gonggong Zhang said, "The emperor is fine, but the summoning of the two princes and adults is an urgent matter, a major matter." β
When several ministers heard this, they naturally didn't dare to delay any longer, and they didn't pay a salute to the queen, so they hurried away.
Helian Yue was not angry in her heart, I am afraid that I will not be able to expose this impostor today.
He and 'Helian Qian' saluted the queen at almost the same time, "The queen's mother, the son of the minister retired." β
The queen mother was not displeased, and asked the two to go quickly.
Jing Xueqing called Helianyue outside the hall, "Second prince, since it has been determined that Helianyue is a fake, I will leave the palace and set off." β
"Mr. Jing is free." Helian Yue was in a hurry to go to the emperor, and quickly said, "This prince hopes that when Mr. Jing comes back, there will be a lot of people in this prince." β
"It's nature." Jing Xueqing's chin was raised.
Helian Yue didn't say anything more and hurried away.
There was a hint of coldness in Jing Xueqing's eyes, his treasure was not something that anyone could touch.
He turned and walked towards the palace road.
Ning Yunxiao and the others drove down the mountain overnight and entered the border city.
They found an inn to rest, just to replenish their spirits, and left the Flying Dragon Kingdom early tomorrow morning.
Ning Yunxiao was asleep, and suddenly felt that her face was wet, as if something was licking her.
She frowned and moved to the side, trying to get out of the way.
As a result, the thing followed again, licking her ears and picking at her face.
"Are you starving like this?" Ning Yunxiao saw that he couldn't hide, so he sat up suddenly, took the puppy into his arms, and reached out to tap its head, "If I were your father, I would have been scared to death by being licked like this by you......"
After a pause, he pursed his lips.
The puppy didn't know why, looked up at her, and stretched his neck and snorted.
Ning Yunxiao smiled and pinched its claws again, "You have to go back to the meat pads on your claws now, if the nails grow out, I will be disfigured." β
The puppy whimpered and withdrew its paws.
"Come son, mom will teach you to shake hands." Ning Yunxiao sat cross-legged and put the puppy opposite.
She held out her hand, "Claw up!" β
The puppy ignored her and turned his head.
"It's not easy, is it?" She switched hands again, "Claw up!" β
The puppy still ignored her.
Ning Yunxiao kicked it gently, "Playing with your temper!" Your father said you could play with me when he wasn't there, and you wouldn't give me faces. β
The puppy forbade his nose, suddenly snorted loudly, ran to the bed, and looked underground.
Ning Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and also looked down, but there was nothing.
The puppy hurriedly grabbed the edge of the bed with its paws, if it wasn't too small, it would have jumped down with a snort.
Ning Yunxiao was very puzzled, put it on the ground, and got out of bed to follow.
The puppy quickly ran to the door and picked it up with his paws.
Ning Yunxiao pushed the door again, and the cold wind suddenly poured in from outside the door.
She shuddered, "What are you doing?" β
The puppy ran out two steps, and suddenly stopped moving, probably also looking confused, and his head turned back and forth.
Ning Yunxiao bent down to pick it up, turned around and went back to the room.
"Don't run around, there's nowhere to find it if you lose it." She said, her voice separated by the closed door.
Outside the door, a corner of the clothes flashed.
