As if to verify the soldiers' thoughts, Xiao Xuanchen continued: "Ghost is not leaving, take your bow and arrow, you will stay here, from this moment on, your bow and arrow represent my will, and anyone who disobeys my orders will have only one end." Shu Yu Shirt"

The ghost puffed up his chest, tightened his bowstring, and fired a deterrent arrow at the group of soldiers with a "whoosh", and the soldiers let out an exclamation and turned around and fled from the dungeon.

The man who exuded a rakshasa aura around him said fiercely: "People come to kill, and gods come to kill gods!"

A black figure quickly swept through the dungeon, the ghost's pupils constricted, and the tip of the black arrow was aimed at the figure of the comer, and soon he relaxed his vigilance, because that figure was Ghost Gus.

"Lord of the Kingdom!" Ghost Gus hurriedly saluted, his face solemn, and said, "There is news from the Zha Manbu side. ”

Xiao Xuanchen's face regained his usual royal majesty, and he bowed his head slightly: "I know." ”

He turned one last time to look inside the stone door, where the petite figure was still curled up, motionless. He turned his head to the ghost Gus and said, "Gus, you go and bring the letter from the regent of Ruixiang to the queen." ”

Ghost Gus was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "But that's--"

Soon he noticed the irresistible expression of the lord of the country, his heart was slightly cold, and he said proudly: "Yes!"

When the early winter comes, the Wozra prairie finally shows the weather, in the vast and endless wilderness, the withered grass is low, all are silent, everything loses its vitality, and the shepherd's high-pitched and beautiful song can no longer be heard, and the cattle and sheep are collected into the pen, waiting for the spring of the next year, and the grassland will be green again.

At this time, only packs of wild wolves walk on the grassland, and even the howling of wolves can be heard during the day, and the winter prairie is their world.

The busy Wenkol seemed a little leisurely, and the people who had been busy for a year finally had some leisure space to call friends in the tent, raise a warm fire, keep the icy cold wind of the Wozra steppe out, drink hot mare's milk wine, indulge in joyful songs, and thank the wolf god for his protection, and the year of peace was about to pass.

In the Queen Mother's tent, the Queen Mother took the hot mare's milk wine from Dolma's hand, raised her glass to the figure in the corner, and said, "Have a glass of mare's milk wine to ward off the cold? ”

The figure bowed slightly and replied, "Thank you very much for the gift of the Queen Mother, I never drink alcohol." ”

"What a strange southerner. The Queen Mother gave a rare smile.

"Queen Mother, you seem to be in a good mood?"

"The weather outside is so good, Lord Wolf God will only be in a bad mood when a snowstorm comes. The preface didn't match the afterword, and the two of them seemed to be talking to themselves, but the figure in the corner actually laughed.

The man said: "Today is the Queen's judgment day, and the Queen Mother doesn't care about the outcome of the trial at all, which shows that the trial has no meaning." I don't think His Majesty will agree to judge the queen at this time, even though he has lost the queen's heart, but the more a man is in this situation, the more guilty he becomes, and the desire for reparation makes him lose his mind and judgment - he will certainly protect her at all costs. ”

If he moves this thought, then it means that he will lose all initiative, and the people will already have a lot of complaints about his actions, and this will only be more dissatisfied. And at this juncture, something happened to the troublesome Zha Man. The two brothers who had finally mediated fought again, Xiao Xuanchen's biggest flaw was mercy, why didn't he directly execute the widowed woman and her son, wouldn't it be a hundred, and there would be no chaos today. ”

The Queen Mother listened quietly, and the figure continued: "However, I heard that the new lady in the Manbu seems to be from the Wanyan family, so this change must be expected by the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother remained silent.

"Then, I will wait for the good news of the Queen Mother. The figure got up slowly, looking like he was leaving, "This time, I'm afraid it will be the last time Xiao Xuanchen will leave Wen Koer, and after leaving this time, he may never have a chance to return here." ”

"Yes, this is our last chance. The Queen Mother finally spoke from afar, her voice low and majestic, "Xiao Xuanchen will never have the opportunity to return to Wenkoor, what we need is that he will never have the opportunity to see the warm sun on the Wozra steppe." Today he will leave Winkore, according to his usual personality of going his own way, he will definitely travel lightly, and follow the small guard of thirty or so men at most, this is a good time, I am sure you can take advantage of it. ”

"However, we don't want to grudge against Wu Yang. ”

"Who would know? People only know that the Zha Manbu is very close to Tang Mingguo, and Tang Mingguo is naturally resentful because the Zha Manbu has already fought a battle with the lord of the country. Isn't this kind of thing going to happen very easily?" The Queen Mother leaned forward slightly, and her eyes showed a murderous aura.

The figure bowed slightly, and said, "What is the Queen Mother going to do with that woman?"

"That woman doesn't need me to deal with. The Queen Mother said confidently: "You men are too underestimating women's jealousy, we have a proverb in Wuyang: The fire of women's jealousy can burn the Wozla steppe to the point that not even the last grass is left." ”

The Queen Mother's tent suddenly fell silent, and Zhuoma walked into the tent again with the hot mare's milk wine, and she was surprised to find that the mysterious hungry guest was no longer there, and only the Queen Mother sat alone on the low couch, silently meditating.

In the palace of the royal court, everything is as quiet as before, no, it is quieter than before.

Chunju and Snow Kite even tiptoed to walk, lest they alarm Zhuang Meiyan. The latter sat on the bed, staring intently at a piece of rice paper in his hand, flipping through it.

Ever since Ghost Gus sent this letter over just now, Zhuang Meiyan has been reading this letter with a focused expression.

They didn't know why the queen was so persistent in this letter, and what was so special about it that people couldn't put down?

Zhuang Meiyan has read this letter no less than ten times, this is a very ordinary greeting letter, every word is not out of line, but the last sentence is a little inappropriate.

"Brother Jiang, what did you say the prince asked you to bring to me that day?"

Zhuang Meiyan's cold question surprised everyone, she rarely said anything throughout the day, but when she opened her mouth, she asked this abrupt question.

Jiang Yutang couldn't help but hesitate, that day he was severely tortured and insisted on refusing to confide half a word that was unfavorable to Zhuang Meiyan, and later Yeluyan used a secret technique to dementor him**, so that he was delirious and revealed his intentions. He also vaguely knew these situations later in the descriptions of Chunju and others, and it was his gaffe that brought Zhuang Meiyan into a place of no return, and he regretted it in his heart.

At this time, Zhuang Meiyan asked about it again, but he didn't know how to talk about it.

"The prince said, please take good care of yourself. Jiang Yutang said hesitantly.

"What else?" Zhuang Meiyan asked.

Jiang Yutang whispered embarrassedly, "...... He said that you should take good care of the children, but the prince actually didn't mean anything else, he just ...... I just hope that you will protect yourself in a foreign land. It's all my fault, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out like this......"

Jiang Yutang felt guilty again.

Zhuang Meiyan didn't care about his explanation, and she interrupted him unceremoniously.

He mentioned the child, and he mentioned the child in the letter. ”

Zhuang Meiyan pointed to the last sentence at the end of the letter, where it was written: May your mother and son be peaceful.

This is also a very common greeting, but the relationship between the two of them was originally a little sensitive, and now they repeatedly mention children, which will inevitably cause many misunderstandings.

Zhuang Meiyan suddenly smiled and said, "How do you know that he doesn't mean anything else?"

Suna, Jiang Yutang and the others were shocked and looked at each other.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, apart from this letter, what other gift did the prince ask you to bring me?"

Jiang Yutang hesitated: "There are a lot of gifts, but they are nothing special. ”

"Are there any gifts for children?"

The more Jiang Yutang listened, the more frightened he became, he thought for a moment, and said, "This, it seems that a set of silver ornaments has been specially made, and it is placed in a box with jewelry. ”

Zhuang Meiyan nodded and said, "That's it, can any of you help me bring that set of ornaments, I want to see it--that thing is very important to me." ”

Zhuang Meiyan looked at the few people in front of him sincerely, this matter is not easy to do. All the items brought by Jiang Yutang had been sealed, and no one could take them out without permission, except for the man's permission.

Everyone suddenly turned their eyes on the snow kite, so the snow kite was a little cramped, her face was slightly red, and she said expectantly: "I, I may not be able to convince him, besides, if this kind of thing is known by the lord of the country, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not good...... Aunt Suna, why don't you talk about it. ”

Suna smiled slightly and said, "Gus, this kid is obedient to your words now, and he can't listen to my words." It's not a difficult thing to do, he will have a way, and he has a way to keep no one else from knowing. What else do you need, Queen?"

Zhuang Meiyan shook her head a little tiredly.

Suna glanced at the others again and said, "The queen is tired, let's go out first and let her have a good rest." ”

"Suna, you stay. Zhuang Meiyan suddenly spoke.

Su Na, who had already followed everyone to the door of the stone room, couldn't help but be stunned, she turned her head to look at Zhuang Meiyan, the latter's eyes were blazing, and there was a sense of determination in her tired expression, she couldn't help but be a little worried. Combined with the queen's strange questions and requests, she had reason to believe that the queen was hiding something from them.

Lord Wolf God, have you not stopped testing this poor woman?
