"How are you going to bear it?" The eldest princess slowly closed her eyes and asked.

"To die...... The four words of "apology ......" were very difficult to define, and there was no reaction after the exit.

The eldest princess felt that he was reluctant to speak, and couldn't help frowning, waiting for him to bow her head. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response, only a muffled sound of "bang" suddenly sounded in her ears, as if something had fallen heavily at her feet.

The eldest princess suddenly opened her eyes, and when she saw that she had fallen to the ground, her cheeks resting on the instep of her feet, and blood flowed from her mouth. She saw a great pain in her heart, and hurriedly bent down to support Definition Hou, and asked urgently: "What are you doing?" Twilight, what are you doing?! Do you have poison in your teeth? ”

Hou finally saw his beloved wife's concerned look, and a satisfied smile slowly appeared on his face. His lips twitched slightly, his teeth were red with blood, but he persisted and pleaded with difficulty, "Please...... Forgive me...... It's me...... Wrong. ”

The eldest princess finally had no master, tears came out of her eyes, and she shouted hoarsely: "Someone! Come! Call the doctor! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”

The guards outside the house hurriedly ran into the door, and saw the eldest princess holding the marquis in her arms, her clothes and hands covered with blood. The guards were about to ask, but the eldest princess had already raised her blood-red eyes and shouted at them, "What are you still pestling for?" Call the Imperial Doctor! ”

"It's too late...... "Hou raised his hand tremblingly, grabbed the eldest princess's sleeve, and still pleaded: "Stop?" ”

Hearing this, the eldest princess completely broke down and cried: "Why do you want to die!" Who allowed you to die! You bring me back to life! Come alive! ”

"Let me call you one last time...... Chanjuan ......" defined Hou intermittently shouting out the small words of his beloved wife, but it made the eldest princess's tears fall even more fiercely. He laboriously raised his hand to wipe away her tears, and he was still asking persistently: "Chanjuan, can you stop it?" ”

The eldest princess was stunned, and finally hugged the definition Hou and nodded repeatedly: "I promise you...... You can't die! You die, what should I do? What should I do? ”

When he heard this answer, he finally sighed with relief, and said with convulsions: "Don't cry, I'm ...... The sin deserves ......"

"No, it's not! You're not! I was also wrong......" The eldest princess hugged him tightly and cried like a child, "I know, I am too strong, I don't allow you to take a concubine when you are pregnant, and I also killed your cousin who is a plum sweetheart." I know, I've always known, but I won't admit it......"

It's a pity that her confession can no longer be heard by Definition Hou. With a slight smile on his lips, he lay contentedly in her arms, closing his eyes forever and ever.

Inside the house, blood and tears are cruelly intertwined; Outside, the scorching sun echoes the chirping of cicadas.

Another summer passed.

*****

At the same time as Hou returned to Yan Kingdom, Wei Nong had also arrived in Youzhou and found the chief helm of Momen. As the nest of the No. 1 killer organization in the rivers and lakes, the Momen helmsman is naturally very hidden, and it is based on the various clues left by Ji Fengzhi that he finally discovered the location of Momen - it is hidden at the foot of the Thai smoke in Youzhou, on a small island by the sea.

Passing through the Smoky Mountains to the seaside, Wei Nong raised his eyes to look around, and there was only one island faintly visible within a radius of ten miles, and it was surrounded by reefs. This is an excellent natural defense site, not to mention the various reefs hidden in the water, and anyone who wants to go to the island must know the route well, and also know the time of high and low tide, and the water must be excellent, otherwise one will accidentally run aground and die.

Rao Weinong boasted that she had excellent water quality, and she was not sure that she could swim to the island in one breath, she stood in front of the sea and looked back, and couldn't help but hesitate. And at that moment a small boat suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the boatman stood in the bow of the boat, and asked her in a loud voice, "Where is the girl going?" Can I take a boat? ”

Wei Nong looked the boatman up and down, he was not tall, lean and thin, wearing a coat and a hat, which blocked his face, and he couldn't tell his real age. However, with intuition, Wei Nong thought that he should be a practitioner and the "gatekeeper" of this island.

Wei Nong decided to pretend not to know, pointed to the island in the distance, and asked with a smile: "Boatman, I want to go there, I wonder if it is convenient for you to give me a ride?" ”

As soon as he said this, Wei Nong sensed that the boatman was looking at him, and through his wide, face-covering hat, a compelling gaze shot straight at him. Weinong stroked the broken hair at the corners of his forehead, so as to hide his mood, and asked with a smile again: "What?" Is it inconvenient to ship home? ”

The boatman's voice sank, "Do you know what place it is, girl?" ”

Wei Nong nodded: "Is it the chief helm of Momen?" ”

"What is the girl going to do?"

"Looking for people," Wei Nong replied calmly, "My master's name is 'Ji Fengzhi', and my friend's name is 'Yingluo', and I am going to find them." ”

Hearing this, the boatman looked at her again, and suddenly said without a head or an end: "If you can't put aside the things in your chest, why go to Xiandao to drink?" ”

"What?" Wei Nong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the joint code of Momen! But...... But Master and Yingluo have never mentioned it to her!

The slightly thick face was difficult, and I didn't know how to answer it all of a sudden.

The boatman repeated again: "If you can't leave what you have in your chest, why go to Xiandao to drink?" ”

Wei Nong had no choice but to laugh wryly: "The master of your family is really an elegant person...... My master didn't mention this code. ”

She thought for a while, took two steps back, threw out the two Emei thorns in her sleeves, drew a symbol on the beach with both hands, and stretched out her hand to point: "Boatman, I followed this symbol to find it, do you recognize it?" ”

The boatman only glanced at him, and his words seemed to soften: "The girl is really a real person, get on the boat, and give you a ride." ”

However, Wei Nong hesitated, could it be some trap for the other party to let her on the boat so easily?

Seeing her hesitate, the boatman shook his head with a smile and sighed: "This Emei thorn's mastery is the inheritance of Momen's descendants, looking at your movement of flipping your wrist just now, the old man will know that you are Mr. Ji's apprentice." Let's get on board! He told you to come. ”

Master doesn't deceive me! Slightly overjoyed, he immediately thanked the boatman and jumped onto the boat.

The boat was very small, and could hold at most two people besides the boatman, and they were not sitting, they were standing. As Wei Nong had previously observed, the sea was full of reefs, so the vessel's path was also twists and turns. In addition, the sea was windy, which made the ship sway, and Wei Nong only felt that he was also swaying up and down with the ship, and he felt a surge in his stomach, which was unprecedentedly uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but secretly admire the master who chose the site for Momen - the reef was everywhere, and only small boats could be allowed to pass by, so it was destined that there would not be a large number of people and horses on the island at the same time to kill. And this route is also a twist and turn, even if you go to the island, you will be tortured and lose half your life, and no matter how bad you are, the lethality will be halved. It's an invincible defense, and it's brilliant!

Thinking like this, Wei Nong only felt that all the internal organs were misplaced, and the whole person was extremely uncomfortable. But the boatman seemed to be at ease, rowing the boat, and singing at the same time, what should be some code, in short, Wei Nong couldn't understand a word.

At last, the island was at hand, and the boatman sang louder, and in a short time there seemed to be a faint response from the island, which seemed to be connected. When she landed, Wei Nong almost dizzily stepped off the boat, squatting on the ground and unable to stand up at all, she only felt that if she stayed in the boat for a few more moments, she was afraid that she would vomit.

After the boatman tied the boat, he saw her squatting on the ground with a pale face, so he plucked two small grasses from her feet at random and handed them over: "Put it in your mouth, and it will immediately relieve the symptoms." ”

Wei Nong took the herb suspiciously, and found that he had never seen this thing before, and it was not mentioned in the medical book. She put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and a fresh smell immediately rushed into her lungs, and in just a moment, most of the disgusting feeling had disappeared. Wei Nong took the herbs in his mouth, which was strange to say, but he really suppressed the dizziness and made his stomach much more comfortable.

"A quarter of an hour," said the boatman, without further along, took out a wide black cloth from his bosom, "girl, offended. ”

Wei Nong nodded, closed his eyes without saying a word, and let the boatman blindfold himself and lead her forward. Along the way, neither of them spoke, and could only hear each other's quiet footsteps ringing in their ears. But Wei Nong had a feeling that there should be more than the two of them on this road, and there must be many people around watching her and guarding against her.

I don't know how long I walked, but Wei Nong only felt that his body was getting more and more clammy and cold, and the black cloth in front of him was cold and unavoidably pulled away. The light suddenly pierced into her eyes, and she felt a little uncomfortable, and it took a while to barely open her eyes.

The scene in front of her was breathtaking. She found herself in a large hall with a very high, rounded roof, and the windows around the walls were all made of crystal, and the outside of the windows was a deep blue. She couldn't help but go to the window and look out, the blue water filled the entire bottom of her eyes, and all kinds of fish swam back and forth......

This hall was built underwater! If you look closely, you can faintly see the undulating waves on the sea, and a beam of sunlight shining into the water and refracting on the crystal window, instantly illuminating the entire hall with brilliant brilliance.

For the first time in her life, she saw a house built underwater! No, no, it's a palace, a different kind of palace!

"Slightly thick." A voice brought her back to her senses.

Looking at the sound slightly, it was her master Ji Fengzhi standing in the foyer! And the boatman is gone, and there are only two people in the hall, master and apprentice! I haven't seen him for half a year, and Wei Nong has too much to say to Master, and as soon as I meet, my eyes feel faintly hot.

Ji Fengzhi noticed that she was emotional, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Four or five months ago, I received news from the shopkeeper of the Yingmen Inn, saying that you had successfully escaped from King Ning's Palace and returned to Yan Kingdom. What's the matter, why did you suddenly come to Momen to find me? ”

Wei Nong obviously didn't have the heart to answer, so he only tugged at his sleeve and asked urgently, "Master, tell me first, he ...... Is he really dead? ”

Ji Fengzhi obviously knew who she was talking about, so he looked around and said, "You come with me." ”
