Chapter 14: A Bad Omen

"Father, Xuanyuan Lu is not a long-term solution for us!" Wai Cang accompanied Emperor Yan to walk among the fallen flowers in the back garden, but his brows were tightly locked, and he did not have the leisure of a walk. Instead, he pricked up his ears and was vigilant about the wind and grass around him.

"I have a deep relationship with my ancestor, how can I see her daughter in dire straits and not save her?" Emperor Yan said lightly, "Besides, we have already drawn a clear line with Shao Hao, whether to save or not to save, to hide or not to hide, Shao Hao will not let us go." ”

"But the time is not ripe for us to resist, will it cause Shaohao to completely turn against us because of Xuanyuan Lu's incident?"

"Mourning, you can't have too many scruples when you do great things. If you think too much, you will drag yourself down. If I was afraid that Shao Hao would turn his face and not recognize people, I would not have stood on the same front as Zhen Hao earlier. Do you think your father is doing this out of his own hands? ”

Wai Cang listened attentively and did not answer. The wind of late autumn, with the breath of early winter, is also biting cold.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness." A handmaiden stood behind them with her head bowed, "The Queen of the North has arrived. ”

Wai Cang was stunned for a moment, opened his lips slightly, and looked at Emperor Yan with wide eyes. Emperor Yan didn't show a look, just nodded lightly, and motioned to the maidservant to invite Wang Ji up.

"According to the rumor, she ......" Emperor Yan waved his hand to interrupt the mourning, and the rumor had already stepped on the lotus step.

"According to rumors, I have seen His Majesty Emperor Yan and His Royal Highness Aicang." Yi Yu smiled and owed a debt.

Ai Cang couldn't wait to help Yi Yu up, and said anxiously: "Where have you been during this time?" We're scared to death! ”

Yi Yu smiled and bowed his head shyly, and the sorrow was itchy to see.

"Have you ever been home? I am very concerned about your safety. Emperor Yan stood with his hands in his hands, and said neither hot nor cold.

"I went into hiding. When I came back by the way, I would come to Shennong to report my safety first, and then I said that I would go back. ”

"Then stay in Shennong for a few more days, and I'll write a letter!" As he spoke, he left happily.

A cold wind swept in, and the towering trees shed a few golden leaves, and the withered flower beds were overgrown with weeds, and no one had taken care of them for a long time. In the huge courtyard, there are only the majestic Yan Emperor and the miraculous appearance of Yi Yu. Neither of them spoke. Everything is silent, but it is like an arrow on the string, as long as you let go of your hand, you can put the other party to death.

"There's something I'd like to ask you think." Emperor Yan broke the silence, "Your marriage with Wai Cang ......"

"I came today to discuss this matter with Your Majesty." According to the rumor, he took a few steps towards Emperor Yan, "I am willing to marry Ai Cang." ”

"Really?" Ai Cang's ecstatic voice suddenly came from behind Yi Yu, and Ai Cang rushed to Yi Yu in two or three steps, and said in disbelief, "Are you really willing to marry me?" ”

Yi Rude blushed and turned away. Emperor Yan looked at Yi Yu sharply, her easy agreement made Emperor Yan feel unsure. Ai Cang ran to Emperor Yan again, "Father, you heard what the rumor said!" She's willing! Didn't Zhen say that as long as he agreed to the rumors, he would not object? Now that we have agreed to the rumors, can we start preparing? ”

Emperor Yan stared at Yi Yu intently, looked her up and down, and then said slowly: "I will consider this matter in the long run." After all, it is a major event for the two countries, and it must not be hasty! ”

Wai Cang nodded frequently, "I'll go and prepare!" As soon as the words fell, the man ran away as fast as he could.

"Shennong Country has been abandoned for a long time, and I hope you don't dislike it during this time." Emperor Yan was polite.

Yi Yu just smiled and owed, making way for Emperor Yan. He also said, "It's exactly the same as when I came." ”

Emperor Yan's heart thumped, but he couldn't say why he was uneasy, so he had to leave slowly.

Standing up according to the rumor, the corners of his mouth rose to reveal a hint of sneer, and his eyes flashed and became blood-red and gorgeous.

Jingwei and Yuan Ming were guarding the door of Han's room, and some days had passed. Now that the autumn is shining in the sky, although it is not as hot as the scorching summer, the two who have not eaten a drop of water are also quite uncomfortable. Yuan Ming looked back at Jingwei, "It's not a way to go on like this, maybe we can't wait for him to come out, and we'll already be down here." ”

"No, it won't. I'm going to make it! Even if he falls down before he can come out, I have to wake up and the first thing I see is him! Jingwei gritted his teeth, "It's about the future of the two countries, I must not be sloppy!" Think about it, the people of our two countries are better than us in the dire situation? What is this bit of suffering? ”

Yuan Ming turned around helplessly, looked at the wooden house blankly, and suddenly roared: "Gao Yang Hanqi! Instead of torturing your friends and your subjects here, come out and torture your enemies! Your love for Yasan and your unwillingness to Yasan can all be vented on Shao Hao! Don't forget, who is Glaze Annihilation, she is the direct murderer of Yasan, maybe the death of His Royal Highness is inseparable from her! She is Shaohao's daughter! This account should be repaid by Shao Hao! Do you just let Yasan die without turning a blind eye and harboring grievances? ”

Yuan Ming said eloquently, in exchange for only the silent wind and the sound of Jingwei's rapid breathing.

Yuan Ming sighed and lowered his head without confidence. Suddenly, the door of the hut creaked open a crack, but no one was there. Jingwei and Yuan Ming glanced at each other, and immediately realized that this was an expression of Han Qi's willingness to accept them. The two smiled and took a step, but because they had stood for too long, their legs were sore and numb, and the two staggered to support each other step by step.

"I'm not going to avenge Yasan." Han poured a pot of tea for herself, "Stay here to live a quiet life, listen to the stories brought by the wind, listen to the love songs sung by the wild flowers, Yasan is by my side and never leaves." The world in front of me is Yasan's world. We're just fused together. If I live, Yasan will live. I let you in, and I just asked you to tell my father and Yi Yu on my behalfβ€”I'm dead, and Gao Yang Hanqi is dead. Now I am just a blind carpenter, arrogant. ”

"If Shao Hao brings troops here, what will you do? Is it easy to get caught? Jingwei propped his hands on the table, extremely irritable.

"It's a big deal to die here with Yasan." Han Qi calmly took a sip of tea, "I can't sleep in life, and I can't sleep in death." ”

"You are dead, what about Your Majesty and Wang Ji?" Yuan Ming waved his hand and knocked off the teacup in Han Qi's hand, "How can you be so selfish!" ”

"Selfish?" Han Zhu repeated lightly, "For so many years for the north, I even gave up my love and sacrificed my lover!" Isn't it okay to be selfish for yourself now? I abandoned Yasan and chose the Northland, thinking it was the best of both worlds, but in the end? The northern kingdom has not been saved, and love has not been saved! I'm just such a small luxury now, can't you satisfy me? I gouge out my eyes, first, for Yasan, second, to pay off my own blood debt, and third, to get rid of your strife completely! I have no way back, is it only by dying in front of you that you can feel at ease! ”

"Your Highness, I'm ......" Yuan Ming took a few steps back.

Jingwei didn't know what to do for a while. At this time, Shennong's paper kite fluttered its wings and flew into Jingwei's hands.

Jingwei opened the paper kite in confusion, and Ai Cang's handwriting was crooked because of excitement, but Jingwei was still shocked, and she blurted out: "I promised to marry my eldest brother according to the rumors!" ”

"What?" Yuan Ming turned around abruptly and snatched the paper kite from Jingwei's hand.

Han Zhu still did not change his face, sitting like a clock.

"Now do you want your sister to sacrifice happiness to fulfill your selfishness?" Jingwei yelled.

"We all know very well what kind of person Mourning is. Marrying him according to rumors does not mean that she will not be happy! ”

"Gao Yang Han! You obviously instructed that it was Julong who loved the rumor, and you also knew the pain of looking at the person you love but couldn't stay together, do you still want to be obsessed and let your sister repeat the mistakes of the past? ”

Yuan Ming crumpled the paper kite in his hand, tugged at the placket of Han's shirt and said, "You have to go back for me!" According to rumors, you must not marry Ai Cang! ”

Han hung his head and did not speak. The withered flowers outside the window were drowned in the mud with a lingering fragrance. Flowers are not red for a hundred days, since they can't stay together, why don't women marry early? Han Qi muttered in his heart. With his understanding of Yi Yu, it must have been Julong who hurt her too deeply before she made such a decision. Since Emperor Yan and Ai Cang didn't mind, why couldn't they believe that Ai Cang would bring happiness to Yi Yu?

People who love each other don't necessarily stay together. Being together is not necessarily happy, and being apart is not the worst option.

Right? Yasan.

Qiqi buried the last body in Chiyou Village, and Langya took Da Shu and Da Shu's sister-in-law out of the cave, and the four of them stood in the lifeless Chi You Village, looking weird.

"This ...... What's next? Chi You Zhai, really, it's ...... like this" Dashu was dumbfounded.

"A couple of people survived." Qi Pi comforted, "It's settled." Just mentally ......"

"You send them away first." Langya put on a silk mask.

"The slaves sent them away, what about you?"

"Chi You Zhai's hatred, I will definitely not give up easily!"

"Even if she's a rumor?"

"She's not a rumor, she's the magic queen Yiling!" After Langya finished speaking through gritted teeth, he jumped up and disappeared into the sky.

The northern kingdom entered winter earlier than the rest of the Great Wilderness, and now it is covered in snow. It was a beautiful day, but because the general trend of the sun has gone, the children are not under the knees, and they have no intention of stepping on the snow to enjoy the plums. Standing on the high city wall, he sighed deeply.

"It's too early to give up." Emperor Yan stood faintly behind Zhen Xuan, "The Demon Queen Yi Spirit is back......"
