Chapter 239: The Bottom Line
He listened to the sound of footsteps outside the car, blew out the wind lamp, lay down on the cushion, pulled over the thin cover, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Qing Yan walked away from the carriage, but his thoughts kept surging. Fang Juan's origin is unknown, and after he returns to the Kingdom of Wei, he will definitely send secret guards to find out his details, and he can't leave suspicious people to haunt the eldest princess. What is he here for? Does it seem that on the surface there is an admiration for the eldest princess? Or is it for some other purpose? What was the purpose of his previous assistance to his master at the dragon's family?
His keen instincts as an undercover agent always felt that this matter was anything but simple.
The lonely and lonely figure gradually fell into darkness, and he had long been accustomed to lurking in the dark, peeping and watching all the actions of others.
Qin Wuxue shared another carriage with Fu Ji, and Yun Yanzheng refused their kind invitation. She found a tall tree, plunged into it, leaned against the tree and slept with her eyes closed and her clothes closed.
Qin Wuxian held his sword and rested under another tree, while his guards kept vigil in two groups to prevent the enemy from attacking.
The night was getting darker, and the silver glow was bleak. The sound of falling leaves in the quiet and secluded forest rustling and fluttering, and the sound of the wind blowing down from the mountains from far and near, the sound is in the ears, just like the waves in people's hearts.
Yun Yanzheng was physically tired, but he did not fall asleep. At this moment, she vaguely heard the sound of Fang Juan coughing from the carriage, she frowned, hesitated for a moment, jumped down the tree, and quietly walked towards the carriage. Stopped next to the carriage and asked in a low voice, "Ah Juan, are you okay?" ”
Fang Juan muttered vaguely and did not answer. I only heard a groping sound in the carriage, as if I was looking for something. Yun Yanzheng turned his phoenix eyes slightly, lifted the curtain, bowed in, and lit the wind lamps in the black paint, and the faint light slightly illuminated the situation in the car.
Fang Juan lay on the cushion, squinting and smiling at her, his voice was half hoarse, half low, "I want to drink water...... Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing low, he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and turned sideways to avoid the side.
Yun Yan knew that his chest injury was not suitable to move, so he looked around and found a small copper ring on the car board on the side. With a slight pull, a box was opened, and there were teapots and cups, all made of silverware. She picked up a teacup, poured him half a cup of water, felt that the tea was cold, and warmed it with internal force before putting it aside.
She put the soft pillow on the side behind Fang Juan, let him half sit and half lie against the wall of the car, and then handed him the silver cup.
Fang Juan stretched out his hand to take it and whispered, "There is Princess Lao." ”
Seeing him smiling like a thin cloud at the moment, Yun Yanzheng was in a trance for a moment, as if at that moment, she had also waited for another person like this. His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and his heart felt more like he had been pricked with a needle, but he was still back to normal. She smiled faintly at him and said, "Are you better?" I'm afraid the wound will hurt for a few more days. ”
Fang Juan nodded, suddenly raised his eyes, there was some hesitation in his eyes, and finally lifted his sleeves, pointed to the ointment applied to his arm, and said in a soft voice: "It's almost exactly the same." ”
He didn't say it explicitly, but Yun Yanzheng understood what he was talking about.
Fang Juan looked at the clarity on her face, and said almost in a whisper: "She has the scent of a wizard who feeds Gu worms, it's very light, but it can't be hidden." He nodded his nose and looked at him steadfastly.
After being reminded by him, Yun Yan suddenly remembered the faint but familiar aroma he had smelled on Fuji's body. Now that she thinks about it, she suddenly remembered that two years ago, when she was chasing King Jing's rebels outside the gate of the imperial capital, she had slapped a sorcerer on a horse, and that palm made her fall into the puppet Gu. At that time, she faintly smelled an unusual smell on that person, like incense but not incense, like musk deer, extremely strange. It's just that she didn't remember it for a moment, but the puppet Gu made her remember it very much, and now when she mentioned it, that fragrance seemed to have been deeply rooted in her mind and lingered.
In this way, Fu Ji should be a member of the Wu clan of the Great Tibetan Mountain?
Not only will she prepare this medicine that will heal the Gu worms and fester, but also raise the Gu. She deliberately concealed her identity, but she gave the medicine to Fang Juan. If she can raise Gu, will she also solve Gu?
What is the purpose of her coming to Qin Wuxie's side now? If she was manipulated by someone and intended to murder Qin Wuxian and the others, she shouldn't have taken out the medicine that could reveal her identity and handed it over to Fang Juan tonight. After all, the grace of a moment of help is insignificant to a latent craftsman, compared to her purpose. She now makes not revealing her identity a top priority.
If she didn't care if her identity was revealed, why did she say that she wouldn't solve the Gu? And explain that he is not a witch clan of Dazang Mountain? In this way, it seems that he wants to hide his true identity, and he wants to explain why he prepared the drug.
She said that she didn't know Gu Xi, but when she thought about it at this time, her words became more and more explicit.
That night, Yun Yan left the carriage where Fang Juan was skeptical.
The next day, the group packed up and walked north, zigzagically heading towards the country of Ul. Along the way, Yun Yanzheng's secret guard explored the way ahead; After Qin Wuxian's secret guards followed and broke off, they cooperated with each other and got along well, and there was no abnormal situation for a while.
At this time, it is close to late autumn, and the distant mountains and rivers are covered with a layer of depression. The blue and lilac mountains gradually faded into the bright makeup of late autumn and replaced with a gray color like a mist. The green and blue soup and autumn water also seemed to fade the emerald color, and the cold chill floated on the ground.
It is the cold water in autumn, and the twilight in the distant mountains.
Yun Yanzheng and Qin Wuxue walked side by side by the mountains, rivers and lakes, and stopped to look at the autumn water and the long sky, and the lonely goose flew south. The west mountain is thin, the golden light shines on each other's faces, both of them squint slightly, looking at the red glow on the horizon, gorgeous brocade. Layer upon layer, the golden light is shining, the roses and red myrtles are purple, and they are so magnificent that people can't take their eyes off them. I looked at it stupidly, as if my soul was also attracted to it.
"I heard that you have abandoned him at last." I don't know how long she stopped, Qin Wuxue suddenly sighed, withdrew her thoughts from the smoke on the horizon, and seemed to ask in a low voice in her ear.
But this sentence seems to be said very firmly.
Yun Yanzheng's face was as usual, as if he hadn't heard her words clearly, and his eyes were still fixed on the pale glow that had been dispelled in the distance. It wasn't until the storm dissipated that Qin Wuxue smiled, thinking that she would not answer again, that she seemed to have just come back to her senses, and her voice was so soft that the wind blew in her ears: "It's time to break, it's broken." "The judgment is continuous, but it is chaotic.
Her words were faint, as if there was no thought in them, but only a fact.
Qin Wuxian bent the corners of his lips, but he didn't smile, and said faintly: "I didn't expect the eldest princess to be so resolute and resolute in the face of emotional matters. ”
Yun Yanzheng's gaze has always been clear, but at this moment, there is a trace of imperceptible darkness, and he whispered in a low voice: "In a hundred years of life, it is difficult to find a person, and it is also a common thing. He is indeed the most remarkable person I have ever met......" She seemed to be unsatisfied, but she closed her lips tightly and did not mean to continue.
Qin Wuxue folded her hands in front of her and asked as if unintentionally, "None of them?" ”
Yun Yanzheng glanced at her, smiled, and shook his head. No, not in her heart. There had never been a person who couldn't take her eyes off when she first saw him, and it was a hundred times better than the magnificent clouds on the horizon. There has never been a person like him, who can unconsciously want to get close and contact in the future scenes, so tireless, the throbbing in his heart is the same as at the beginning, and even more and more attached to the once unhesitating desire to accompany him for life, and never forget each other.
Her face was calm, but the sparkle in her eyes swelled slowly, and something seemed to be swimming in them. Like a fish swimming in the algae, you can clearly see the figure under the water and waves, but it is always hidden in the shadows and walks leisurely, making it difficult to see the real and detailed outline.
"I wonder if the princess knows the details of Frigie?" She asked suddenly, as if unintentionally.
"Why do you ask?" Qin Wuxue said with a gentle smile.
Yun Yanzheng's gaze was slightly dim in the twilight, as if he was hesitating for a moment, before he whispered again: "Ah Juan told me that the medicine she gave to cure the Gu poison festering was almost exactly the same as the medicine that the priest of the Wu Clan had given him. And those witch priests are also in the territory of the Desert Country at this moment, which he only met not long ago. ”
Qin Wuxue seemed to be slightly surprised, her eyes were fixed for a long time, and she hesitated and whispered, "Is this Ah Juan's words reliable?" ”
Yun Yanzheng nodded and said, "Other than that, I smelled a faint aroma on Fu Ji with him. She disguised herself with other aromatic scents, but she was still visible to us. She glanced at her, her eyes becoming more and more faint, "The princess must have heard about all the strange secrets that appeared in the Yue City of the Ul Kingdom two years ago, and some of them were from the Wu Clan. And I also fell into the puppet Gu of a person in the witch clan, and it was at that time that I also smelled this fragrance on that person. Because the puppet Gu almost controlled my sanity, I was very impressed by this. This kind of aroma is the blood coagulation incense that must be contaminated when the Wu people feed Gu things, which penetrates deep into the blood and bone marrow, cannot be washed away, cannot be covered up, and accompanies it for life, like a shadow. ”
Qin Wuxue's face changed slightly unconsciously, remembering that a Wu Clan man was lurking between them, throwing those terrifying Gu things into their bodies at some time and where. Listening to Yun Yanzheng's words, he only felt shuddered, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the pink lotus figure in the distance who was busy cooking soup for everyone, and the blood in his body seemed to be quickly cold.
Yun Yanzheng looked at the fear and worry in her eyes, not as if she was faking, and then asked lightly: "Does the princess know how she came to the second prince's side?" ”
