Chapter Ninety-Four: Feng Ming's Life Experience
Xiao Fengming's words made waves in Lu Zhongyang's heart, especially the word "friend" he said, which made Lu Zhongyang have to think carefully. Lu Zhongyang looked at Xiao Fengming again, and a strange thought immediately flashed out. Lu Zhongyang felt very strange when he fought with those dragon generals on the roof just now, but now he suddenly realized when he thought about it. There is a person who will be a secret guard to protect him, how can he be an ordinary person? If you get Xiao Fengming's help, you may have a better chance of finding Zhuolan, and after finding her, you may also need someone to shelter her.
Lu Zhongyang thought for a long time, and said, "Zhuo Lan and I are in the cold region of the north, remote and isolated, where witchcraft is prevalent, we have been dedicated to the gods since we were born, and we must not leave without permission for the rest of our lives, and everything in life must be restricted. Those who do not comply with these restrictions will be punished at least, with their lives at worst, and even more terrible, they may even be entangled in witchcraft, worse than death, and tortured for decades. ”
When Lu Zhongyang said these words, his eyes involuntarily showed a little fear, which made his words very credible. Xiao Lingxiao believes that if it weren't for the truth, a master like Lu Zhongyang would not be afraid. And in the original world, Xiao Lingxiao had more or less been exposed to some things like Gu poison and head reduction, and those mysterious and terrifying things would make people shudder when they recalled it.
According to Lu Zhongyang, the people who colluded with Su Donghan at the beginning, and the Taoist priest who was able to make puppets of the living dead, were actually people from his hometown. These people know all kinds of witchcraft, and when they come to the outside world, they hide their identities.
"Zhuo Lan has broken the rules set by the gods and will be put to death. I and the others did our best to get her out, but then we were hunted down, and the priests of the Witch Cult declared that we were all traitors and that we were going to kill none of us. We hid in Tibet, killed and wounded, and at the same time lost the news of Zhuo Lan......" Speaking of this, Lu Zhongyang's voice was sad, and he said to Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming, "As long as I can find Zhuo Lan, I will not hesitate to break my bones." It's been seven years, and I've finally gotten a definite message, and I can't miss her again......"
"Again?" Xiao Lingxiao frowned and asked, "Could it be that you found her before?" ”
Lu Zhongyang was stunned when he heard this, and then his face became sad and increased, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Two years ago in Xuehan Country, the situation was similar to now, I learned that she would appear somewhere, but when I chased after her, I found that with my own strength, it was really difficult to find her in the vast sea of people." If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come to ask you for help today......"
Xiao Lingxiao was a little pitiful when she heard what he said, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that it was wrong, "In that case, why don't you ask the fifth prince for help?" I see that the two of you are almost inseparable, the fifth prince will not refuse to help you even with such a small favor, right? ”
Lu Zhongyang said embarrassedly when he heard this, "This matter must not be known to the fifth prince...... Ever since we met, he has been trying in every possible way to test my identity, and I suspect that he must have mistakenly thought that I was a spy sent by the enemy, so he kept an eye on me all the time. The fifth prince is not only suspicious by nature, but also very confusing to do things. I'm afraid he'll find out about it......"
"I see...... Xiao Lingxiao always felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the five princes, and when she heard Lu Zhongyang say this, she realized that although the five princes were very hearty on the surface, those eyes always seemed to be able to see through everything.
Xiao Lingxiao looked at Lu Zhongyang and then at Xiao Fengming. She knew that although what Lu Zhongyang said now was true, it was not necessarily important information. This Lu Zhongyang stripped the key to the matter, avoiding the important and light, presumably he still has a lot of unspeakable secrets. This is understandable, if it were Xiao Lingxiao, he would never say everything to two people who didn't know the roots.
What Xiao Lingxiao didn't understand was Xiao Fengming's attitude. When Lu Zhongyang said the identity of Xiao Fengming's secret guard before, Xiao Lingxiao found that his face had deteriorated a lot, and the three words of Canglong were like a powerful character, which also made Xiao Lingxiao more curious about Xiao Fengming's identity. Xiao Fengming gave Lu Zhongyang two ways to go just now, obviously wanting to know Lu Zhongyang's identity. After Lu Zhongyang said these things, Xiao Fengming obviously understood something.
Feng Ming, this guy, is becoming more and more mysterious, Xiao Lingxiao doesn't like this feeling of being kept in the dark very much.
With a muffled snort, Xiao Lingxiao slapped the table and said to Lu Zhongyang, "Since you are willing to tell the truth, we will all be friends in the future." At the beginning of the twenty-second month of the lunar month, we will definitely help. ”
Lu Zhongyang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists, and said gratefully, "Then there will be two people to help." ”
"Ah, yes." Xiao Lingxiao smiled slightly, "Didn't you say that before that, I could call you as much as I wanted?" Then I want you to do something, don't say you can't do it. ”
Lu Zhongyang said with a smile, "Miss Lingxiao has something to say, Zhongyang will definitely do her best." ”
Xiao Lingxiao also stood up, hugged her shoulders and said softly, "You were also present when I killed Su Donghan and that group of people before, although that incident was not revealed, Su Donghan's father still counted this account on me, an ominous daughter. I guess that the old man sent someone into the palace to steal a few treasures for me to frame me, and the Taoist priest in the Great Prince's Mansion was also related to the old man. I would like to ask you to help me find out this matter clearly, and it is best to settle it easily. How is it? ”
When Lu Zhongyang heard Xiao Lingxiao say this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this little girl in front of him was really ruthless enough, and he let himself settle the dignified King Mude when he opened his mouth. How many years has King Mudd dreamed of being an emperor, and he wants money, money, and people in his hands, how can it be so easy to settle?
However, Lu Zhongyang showed an elegant smile on his face and said, "I should do my best, there will be a response within two days." ”
After deciding this matter, Lu Zhongyang left quietly. There were only two people left in the room, Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming, Xiao Fengming pulled Xiao Lingxiao to sit around the table, and said softly, "The northern cold land that Lu Zhongyang said is actually called the Tianshan Polar Region, where it is the main altar of the witch sect, and they have branch altars in many places. That day, I heard the Taoist priest say that Lu Zhongyang was a member of the Indigo Hall, and I didn't think about it for a while, but today I heard him say it himself, and I remembered that there were several halls under the main altar of the witch sect, and each hall specialized in different witchcraft, and was led by their sacrifices. Most of their witchcraft is based on yin and yang, so every sacrifice in the witchcraft is accompanied by a goddess. If my guess is correct, the Zhuo Lan that Lu Zhongyang is looking for should be the goddess around them in the Indigo Hall of Mourning. ”
When Xiao Lingxiao heard this, she nodded slightly, and then smiled lightly, "Feng Ming, you won't be also a member of the witch sect, right?" ”
Xiao Fengming was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head with a smile and said, "I have nothing to do with that witch sect at all. The former emperor of this Wuchi country was warlike, armed with soldiers and horses, and regarded witchcraft as a thing that brought disaster to the country and the people, so there was a clear law in the Wuqi country, if it was found to use witchcraft, it would be beheaded, and the house would be destroyed. Because of this, the power of the Witchcraft has been isolated from the outside of the Witchcraft for many years, so that the people who live here almost forget or even know that such a thing exists. But there are no other countries that have such holy emperors......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Fengming couldn't help but sigh.
He looked at Xiao Lingxiao, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Lingxiao, I don't want to hide anything from you anymore, listen to my past things, okay?" ”
Xiao Lingxiao smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
Recalling the past, Xiao Fengming's gaze became deeper.
"I am a native of Xuehan Country, and if I want to explain my life experience, I have to start with a battle that happened in Xuehan Country."
The first emperor of Xue Hanguo had a young son under his knees, and he had only one son when he died, and this son was also weak and sickly, and died before he ascended the throne, although there are all kinds of mysteries, but no one has done any more investigation, according to the ancestral law, the position of the emperor of Xue Hanguo should be passed on to the younger brother of the first emperor, King Wu Heng. King Wu Heng has a free and easy temperament, and he is an outlier among the royal family. Everyone in the royal family has three wives and four concubines, but only this King Wuheng only marries one wife. Moreover, his wife only gave birth to a boy eight years after marrying him, and such a couple is very rare in the Xue Han Kingdom, let alone the respect of the king. This incident was also rumored to be a good story in the Snow Han Kingdom.
However, after King Wuheng ascended the throne as emperor, he immediately selected four young and beautiful women from among the wealthy families of Xuehan Kingdom as concubines, and since then he has also snubbed his wife who has just given birth to a child. Although his wife has become a queen, it is difficult to see her husband again.
Later, those concubines gave birth to dragon sons for the emperor one after another, and the queen's maiden family was involved in trouble and lost power. It didn't take long for the emperor to send the queen into the cold palace, and the boy she gave birth to was nowhere to be found.
Xiao Fengming said this, pointed at himself with a wry smile, and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "I am that child." ”
"So, you are the prince of the Xue Han Kingdom?" Although Xiao Lingxiao vaguely guessed, she was still a little surprised. According to Xiao Fengming, he is not only a prince, but also a legitimate prince born to the queen.
Xiao Fengming laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I, the prince, is not only unreal but also nameless, seven years ago, I was taken out of the palace and fled to the Wuqi Kingdom, and the people who protected me all died one after another. In the end, I wandered alone in the mountains, but fortunately I was rescued by the patriarch. ”
Xiao Fengming was seven years old that year, he deeply remembered the way his mother lamented to the mirror back then, and deeply remembered that his father treated him like a mustard, and now in retrospect, those memories seem to be as clear as yesterday.
"So, do you want to go back to Xuehan Kingdom and save your queen mother?" Xiao Lingxiao asked softly.
Xiao Fengming looked at Xiao Lingxiao and shook his head.
He clearly remembered the small porcelain vase that the queen mother held tightly in her hand when they parted, and the queen mother carried the small porcelain vase into the cold palace, even Xiao Fengming, who was seven years old, clearly knew that the queen mother was already tired of the world.
