Chapter Seven: Li Dai Taozhuang
Seeing those gray eyes, Shi Zhong couldn't help but tremble, as far as he knew, Tu Qitang was now in Wusun, with Liu Ye, and he had just received Chang Hui's letter in the morning, so there should be no mistake.
So, who is this person in front of you? Not only does he have a pair of eyes similar to Tu Qitang, but his facial features and body shape are the same.
Shizhong was almost about to step forward and grab him by the collar and ask him who he was, but the medicine gourd suddenly coughed and pulled back Shizhong's ethereal thoughts. Shi Zhong retracted his gaze and moved two steps to the side, so that the medicine gourd could also see the other party's appearance clearly.
The medicine gourd was not polite, picked up the oil lamp on the table and strode over, aimed at the face of the person on the bed, and studied it carefully. The man woke up from the dream, and before he could fully react to what was going on, his eyes couldn't stand the direct light, and he subconsciously raised his arms to cover his face.
"Hey, don't be shy, don't be shy, let me see clearly......" Yao Hulu slapped his hand away with a smile and coaxed softly, "Don't worry, we're not bad people, we won't hurt your ......"
He stared at the man's face for a full minute before he put down the oil lamp and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"You kid, you are very bold, two strangers broke in in the middle of the night, and you didn't make a sound. I don't understand whether you are wise or stupid or stupid. The medicine gourd pointed at him and shook his head.
Shi Zhong couldn't see any difference between him and Tu Qitang, and couldn't help but remind: "He, he should be in Wusun now, how can he appear in the inner palace of Xi Lingjiao?" ”
There is this question in the division, and it is true that he does not see the difference between him and Tu Qitang, looking left and right, the two of them are carved out of the same mold. Tu Qitang has done a good job, if he leaves Wusun early in the morning, it is possible to lie here at this time. It's just that the dignified sect leader has nothing to see? Why do you hide in a secret room to rest?
"This son is not the other!" The medicine gourd pretended to say something profoundly, leaned forward, hooked the man's chin with the index finger of his right hand, and met his confused eyes, "Counting you, there are three people in this world who look the most alike." Boy, what's your name? ”
The man looked at the medicine gourd in a daze, pursed his lips, and did not answer. The posture of the medicine gourd at this time is like a bully who is molesting the people's girls, looking very happy, but he can't laugh. Everything that happened in front of him was so weird that Shizhong only felt that his head had become a mess, and he wanted to see it clearly, but the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.
"Don't want to say it? It doesn't matter, poor boy, you're scared silly! Yao Hulu patted him on the shoulder with pity, no longer forcing him, "I'm not worth it for you, your brother is beautiful outside, and he is the leader of the sect and a prince, but you, the authentic prince, are under house arrest and can't see the light of day." Your mother is really ruthless! ”
Before the words fell, his whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning, he jumped out of bed suddenly, trying to escape but couldn't find the way, staring at the medicine gourd in horror, his back against the cold stone wall, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Shizhong was frightened by his violent reaction, and had to believe the words of the medicine gourd: "He, he is Tu Qitang's brother?" The son of the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon? ”
Yao Hulu replaced the answer with a smile, he sat cross-legged on the bed, and nodded proudly: "I'll just say, I couldn't figure it out before, but now I finally figured it out." Tu Qitang has been cultivating on the mountain for many years, he is the secret weapon of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, how did he suddenly become the Prince of Rest! I heard that King Anxi has been in love with the Holy Maiden of Mingyue for a long time, even if he is willing to please her, but the rest of the royal family is not a fool, how can he accept the prince who appeared out of thin air! Hey, boy, you're locked up here by your mother, and your father the king probably doesn't know it, he has so many sons, he may not be able to detect the difference between your brother and you! ”
Shizhong felt incredible: "How is this possible? Since they are all sons of the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, why did they put him under house arrest? ”
The medicine gourd glanced at him: "What's impossible, let me tell you, there are many strange things in the world." Hmph, who is the Holy Maiden of Bright Moon, in her eyes, the entire Western Regions is not as important as the Enlightenment. What if it's all her sons, Tu Qitang is the leader of Xi Lingjiao, he is just a good-for-nothing prince, which do you think she will favor? Who is Tu Qitang tired of being taught in Xiling, he wants to start over, and it is very suitable to use the identity of Prince Xixi. And he has no ability to be the head of the sect except to be a prince who wears clothes and stretches out his hands to eat, so he can only be placed under house arrest here. Hey, boy, I'm right! ”
The Prince of Rest gave up the struggle, tears of grievance swirling in his eyes, and he collapsed weakly on the ground. The medicine gourd slapped his thigh violently and exclaimed excitedly: "Look, it's really like this." ”
If this is the case, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon is indeed a rare strange woman in the world, and her two sons, one is the leader of the Xiling Sect, and the other is the prince of the king of peace. They were supposed to have nothing to do with each other and live happily ever after, however, Tu Qitang's experience was much more bumpy, and he still felt unfair until he became famous, so he replaced his brother and continued his happiness in two different capacities.
The two brothers have been separated since childhood, the brother's relationship is as indifferent as water, Tu Qitang occupies his happiness, and he can only bear Tu Qitang's pain. Is that fair?
"I still can't understand why the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon is doing this, she is their mother, she should protect them, not let them be harmed." Shizhong couldn't help but sympathize with this prince, although he didn't have much ability, but he didn't do a lot of evil, just because his brother was the leader of the Xiling Sect, and his mother was the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, so he was going to suffer this catastrophe!
"This is a fact, you can't believe it, I didn't believe it at first, don't you find evidence!" The medicine gourd beckoned to Prince Anxi, "Boy, come here, tell us about your grievances, don't worry, grandpa, I will help you out......"
Hearing this, Prince Sabbat's eyes lit up, and he took two steps forward in disbelief, and without remembering anything, he retreated in a panic, buried his head in his chest, and refused to look at them again.
"Look at this child, I was scared by them, the demon woman of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden is really ruthless, she doesn't even let go of her own son, can you still expect her to show mercy to others!" The medicine gourd pushed Shizhong, "Let's take him away, this is also a big harvest, quickly, I won't be able to leave when it is dawn." ”
"But......" Shi Zhong couldn't guess the idea of the medicine gourd, maybe he just wanted to grasp the handle of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, so as to leave a way back for the future. But this prince is a living person, and it is too impersonal to use it as a handle.
Shi Zhong glanced at Prince Anxi, who was huddled in the corner, helped him up with kindness, and said softly, "Would you like to go with us?" We are not all the way with the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, maybe we will become enemies in the future, take you away, maybe we can have more chips! Of course, you have the right to refuse, and I will not force you. ”
Prince Anxi raised his eyes to look at Shizhong, he was useless in the eyes of the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, it didn't mean that he didn't even have the ability to discern, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he could still see who was good to him. What about biological mothers and siblings? When there is a conflict of interest, I can't take care of family affection.
"You, what do you want me to do?" Prince Sabbator was so impressed by the sincerity of his teacher that he was finally willing to speak.
Yao Hulu was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Whatever you want, if you want to regain the position of the prince, or if you want to take revenge on your mother, I can help you achieve it." Haha, I like to watch this kind of drama of the opposite of relatives the most. ”
Prince Anxi's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and he smiled helplessly: "No, I don't want to go back, and I don't want to take revenge on anyone, I just want to be an unknown ordinary person, can you promise me?" ”
The medicine gourd was stunned: "What? Do you just want to be an ordinary person? Your mother and brothers did this to you, and you didn't hate them? Now that they're thriving, you don't want them to taste failure? ”
"No, I don't want to." Prince Sabbath said in a resolute tone, repeating again, "I just want to be an ordinary person. ”
"Okay, okay, whatever you want, whether you stay on the grassland to herd sheep, or go up to the mountain with me to collect medicine, in short, it's okay not to let you show up!" The medicine gourd has to compromise, and no one can control the people who have no desires and no desires.
Hearing him say this, Prince Sabbath gradually let go of his guard: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
Yao Hulu laughed and said, "You kid, do you believe us like that?" Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you and take you out and sell you? You don't even know who I am, so you're going to come with me? Oops, I don't know if you're really stupid or pretending to be stupid, saying that you are the son of that demon woman, who believes it! ”
Seeing his exaggeration, Prince Anxi couldn't help but chuckle: "If you wanted to lie to me, you wouldn't say that, besides, you know her very well, you also know my background, and even know the experience of the sect master, you are by no means an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, follow you, what am I afraid of." ”
These words were said in an orderly manner, and it could be heard that he didn't want to mention the Bright Moon Saintess and Tu Qitang, nor did he want to mention his past. Being hurt by a loved one, this kind of blow is not something that anyone can bear, and it is a natural reaction to want to escape.
"Huh? You're not stupid! Yao Hulu looked at him blankly and muttered to himself, "It's hard to say that I was used by you, and I don't know how much trouble I caused by letting you out!" ”
Shizhong comforted him and said: "The seniors are joking with you, since you believe in us, just follow us, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, whether we can get out of the whole body is still unknown, after all, this is the inner palace of the rest of the teaching, and I don't know how much luck it took to break in." His Royal Highness the Prince, I am a teacher from the Han Dynasty, please take care of me in the future. ”
"I'm not a prince anymore, call me Corinji."
"Alright, Collingie, let's go."
Shi Zhong and Yao Hulu failed to discover the secret of Xi Lingjiao, but they found the secret of the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, Tu Qitang and Ke Linji are two brothers, they look nine out of nine, but their personalities are very different. Tuqitang is full of innate domineering, and Colinge yearns for a peaceful life.
If they can successfully take Colinge away, I don't know what kind of storm it will set off.
