Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dream of Heavenly Machines
The family retreated, and King Dingxing stood in front of Ye Qing and looked at Xiao Lan behind Ye Qing, unable to speak for a while. After a while, he slowly spit out a sentence of "let's enter the house", and then turned around and walked towards the house.
Ye Qing didn't know why, but judging from the appearance of the prince and the county lord, the rumor that Meng Ran told him that the prince wanted to marry the county lord should be true. Thinking about it, Ye Qing followed, and Lord Xiaolan also walked behind Ye Qing, but he didn't enter the lobby, but went back to his house.
Entering the lobby, Ye Qing looked at King Dingxing with a sad face, and said, "It seems that the rumors are true, the prince is going to marry the county lord." ”
Hearing Ye Qing's words, the sad expression on King Dingxing's face added a little more.
"Xiaolan is only seventeen years old, if it weren't for the impossible, how could I be willing to marry her far away. As he spoke, King Dingxing sighed again.
"Forced to do so?" Ye Qing was a little curious, "What can force the prince of the land to marry the little county lord in such a hurry?"
King Dingxing did not answer with a difficult face, and Ye Qing said that if it was a confidential matter, the prince would not need to say it.
King Dingxing shook his head, stood up and went to close the door and window.
"Ah Qing, do you know the dream of heavenly machines. King Dingxing said.
"Heavenly Dream?" Ye Qing sounded a little familiar, and only after thinking about it carefully did he recall that it was a legend.
Legend has it that there is a mysterious race living on a remote island in the West Sea, and they are born with a special ability, which is the Heavenly Dream, which is simply that they can predict the future through dreams.
"Could it be your ......" Ye Qing was surprised.
"Yes, I am a descendant of that race. King Dingxing said: "Many years ago, the isolated island where my ancestors lived collapsed for some reason, and the tribesmen came to the mainland along the river branch of the West Sea. ”
"That'...... Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"
"Because of the dream of heaven, it has reappeared. ”
After King Dingxing suppressed his emotions and finished saying this, he walked in front of Ye Qing and stretched out his hand, pressed his finger on Ye Qing's forehead, and then a very terrifying picture suddenly appeared in front of Ye Qing's eyes.
The picture is a ruin, and there is a faint discerning in the ruins that it should have been a very prosperous city before. Scattered all over the ruins were countless bones and corpses of creatures that could not be distinguished......
This picture also made Ye Qing feel a little palpitating, this is simply purgatory on earth!
Coming back to his senses, Ye Qing's eyes widened and asked, "What is this......?"
"That's it...... The imperial capital a month later. ”
King Dingxing said.
"How is this possible!If you want to destroy the imperial capital like this, what kind of terrifying force does it have to be......" Ye Qing couldn't believe it.
Ye Qing was suspicious, King Dingxing didn't pay attention to it, but continued: "Such an imperial capital, how can I rest assured that Xiao Lan will continue to stay here, if Xiao Lan knows about this, how can she be willing to leave easily, I can only do this now." ”
In this situation, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart when he thought of what Chu Qi said before. At first, Ye Qing was just a little more vigilant, because from the bottom of his heart, he still didn't believe that the enemy could pose a threat to the imperial capital, the hidden power of the imperial capital was too terrifying, so terrifying that Ye Qing really couldn't think of anything that could pose a threat to the imperial capital, but now, ......
"I originally planned to report the news to Your Majesty after sending Xiao Lan out, but ......," King Dingxing said, sighing.
Seeing that King Dingxing was worried about Xiao Lan's affairs, Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, I'll figure out a way for the matter of Xiao Lan's county lord." ”
King Dingxing raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qing and said, "Xiao Lan, this kid loves to pester you since she was a child, and it is precisely because of this that it is the most difficult for you to let her go if you come forward." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll figure it out, it's just ......" Ye Qing took out the piece of paper that Zhang Lin gave him from his arms and handed it over, "There is something that the prince needs to do me a favor." ”
King Dingxing took the paper, looked at it and asked, "What is this?"
"A text, most likely related to your heavenly dreams, please help decipher it as soon as possible. Ye Qing said.
......
Coming out of the palace, Ye Qing's brows furrowed, he felt like a fog in front of him, and there was an extremely dangerous thing walking towards him in the mist, but he still didn't know anything about this thing......
Shaking his head, now is not the time to think about this, since he boasted to Xiao Lan's father, he must do it, now go back and think about how to get Xiao Lan to leave the imperial capital.
When he returned to the Royal Forest Army dormitory, it was almost dark, and the cafeteria happened to be open, so Ye Qing went into the canteen to eat something. As soon as he entered the door, he happened to bump into Gao Lie and Meng Ran.
Meng Ran seemed to have just come back, looking like a dusty man, and Er Gaolie was carrying a wine gourd, as if he wanted to have two glasses with him.
Don't look at the fact that the relationship between the two of them is very good now, in fact, at the beginning, Gao Lie and Meng Ran looked at each other unpleasantly.
Meng Ran was born as an official eunuch and had to follow the rules in everything he did, and Gao Ran was born in the wilderness, so Meng Ran often couldn't get used to Gao Lie's wild energy, and Gao Lie always said that Meng Ran was not like a soldier, and there was always a sense of bookishness. For this reason, the two of them have fought a lot. However, the strength of the two people is very strong, so it is inevitable to work together to do tasks. After a long time of this incident, the relationship between the two people turned out to be better.
As soon as Ye Qing entered the door, the two people over there also saw Ye Qing at a glance. The two of them waved their hands and beckoned Ye Qing over.
After the three of them finished eating, Gao Lie sat there and picked his teeth, which made Meng Ran look disgusted.
"A-Qing, what's wrong with you? Meng Ran asked Ye Qingdao.
"Is there one?"
Ye Qing felt that he was not the kind of person whose joy, anger, sorrow and happiness were all expressed on his face. However, Gao Lie over there said that his brows were about to twist, and who couldn't see it, which made Ye Qing realize that his head might be too messy.
"You say, how can you send a girl out willingly?" Ye Qing asked.
"Willingly? What do you want willingly, as long as it's a woman, put it in a sack, take it wherever you want, and wait until the raw rice is cooked to see what she can do." Gao Lie laughed and leaned over to Ye Qing: "What's the matter, which girl do you like?" brother, I'll help you......"
Listening to Gao Lie's words, Meng Ran was really angry, and slapped Gao Lie's already sparse hair on the head.
"How are you like a bandit leader! What soldier talks like you!"
Gao Lie sat back and said, "Aren't I kidding, besides, if anyone really dares to do this, I will be the first to smash his head!"
Immediately after that, the three of them discussed for a long time without coming up with a result, but it was strange that they could discuss anything like this.
Gao Lie decided that Ye Qing had a crush on the girl of which family, and asked Ye Qing stubbornly, Ye Qing thought that if he said that he wanted to send the county lord Xiaolan out at this time, he didn't know what strange pictures Gao Lie's idiot would make up in his brain, so he simply closed his mouth and didn't speak again.
Meng Ran was thinking about it, but his method was not used on the head of the county lord of Xiaolan.
......
Coming out of the dormitory, Ye Qing climbed on the roof of the dormitory alone, lying on the tiles and looking at the moon.
It's a habit he's developed a long time ago.
In fact, Ye Qing is not as calm as he seems on the outside, since the incident with his parents, his psychology has always been as breathless as being pressed by a stone, and this is also the reason why he moved out of the Hou Mansion. In addition, his recent frequent dreams have become more and more frequent, and Ye Qing's state of mind is like walking a tightrope on a cliff.
Ye Qing lay on the roof and slowly closed his eyes, and a cold wind blew, making him not only shiver.
"Don't always blow the wind here in autumn, it's easy to get sick. ”
A piece of clothing was thrown from behind Ye Qing and landed firmly on Ye Qing's shoulder. Ye Qing looked back and saw that the person who came turned out to be the county lord of Xiaolan.
"How did you get in in the middle of the night? Ye Qing put on his clothes and said.
"Cut, I'm going to come in, do they dare to stop me. Lord Xiaolan snorted disdainfully.
Ye Qing didn't speak again, and the atmosphere seemed to be colder than the air on an autumn night at this time.
"You should ...... Know something. Xiao Lan suddenly asked. "Father, he should have told you why he did this. ”
Ye Qing glanced at Lord Xiaolan, but found that Xiaolan was looking up at the incomplete moon in the sky.
"Hmm. Ye Qing turned his head back and nodded
Seeing that Ye Qing had no intention of continuing, Xiao Lan closed her eyes and lay on the roof and said, "He is not a good father. ”
Lord Xiaolan said.
"Why do you say that. Ye Qing asked.
"Actually, I knew that something had to happen and that he was going to send me out. But why don't you tell me every time, I have my own thinking and judgment, and if I don't tell me anything, then what's the difference between me and a talking puppet?"
Ye Qing didn't speak, he didn't agree with Xiao Lan's opinion, and at the same time didn't want to explain anything for Xiao Lan's father, so he didn't answer.
"You are indeed the same kind of person as your father. Xiao Lan chuckled, and there seemed to be a little loneliness in her laughter.
After another moment of silence.
"Get out of the imperial capital. Ye Qing, who was lying on the roof with his eyes closed, suddenly whispered.
"Where am I going after I leave? ”
"I have a trusted friend in Beichuan, and I'm going to let Xiaoqin go to live with him for a while. You can take Xiaoqin to Beichuan with you, and just take it as a distraction. Ye Qing said.
"Xiaoqin is also leaving?"
When she learned that Ye Qing planned to send Xiaoqin away, Xiaolan also seemed to be aware of some problems.
You must know that Ye Qing didn't plan to send Xiaoqin away, but now such an idea suddenly popped up, and it is estimated that this matter is more likely related to what Ye Qing knew from his father. If you think about it again, the things that my father is concerned about should not only concern himself.
"I'll think about it. ”
Although Ye Qing didn't tell herself anything, even if Xiao Lan was unhappy in her heart, she could only suppress this mood.
