Chapter 110: The Princess Seeks Death (Plus Change)
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and he was assassinated by the night killer, although he did not succeed, Jiang Ling also felt a chill down his spine when he recalled it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Without strength, it is difficult to move an inch.
Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, whether it is in the wilderness or in the capital of the Yue country, the strength of the spiritual cultivator is not strong, and he can only be reduced to other people's fish and meat.
It's April, and it's not too hot, it's not too cold, and cool breezes blow from time to time.
The Yue Kingdom of the Southern Spirit Domain of the Star Chess Continent and the Chu State, the overlord of the Eastern Spirit Domain, are separated by a dangerous wilderness, the political situation is stable, the people are united, and the whole country wants to be able to get rid of the control of the Chu State one day.
The monarch of the Yue Kingdom made great efforts to make the country prosperous, making full use of the people's desire to be strong, and sparing no expense to seek talented swordsmiths to improve the entire country's swordsmithing industry.
It is precisely because of King Yue's super personal charm and enlightened policies that Yue was able to improve its comprehensive national strength in a very short period of time, surpassing Wu and Song at once, and becoming the head of the Three Kingdoms of the Southern Spirit Domain.
The country of Yue is becoming stronger and stronger, attracting all kinds of talents to settle down, the monarchs of Wu and Song can't sit still, and they have also sent envoys to come to Yue to learn from experience, therefore, many passers-by walking on the streets of the national capital are migrated from Wu and Song.
The Three Kingdoms of the Southern Spirit Domain are strong, and the overlord of the Eastern Spirit Domain, Chu State, does not want to see such a situation happen, and sends envoys from time to time to put pressure on the Three Kingdoms of the Southern Spirit Domain and stir up chaos in the three countries.
The sky was bright, Jiang Ling freshened up, and then told the two brothers and sisters 1510 about the attack last night.
Sword idiot and Heya don't like ruffians like Black Tan the most on weekdays, and scolded them fiercely.
Jiang Ling didn't want to involve the sword idiot and Heya, so he hurriedly left the sword casting workshop after breakfast.
The king of Yue is the king of the Yue country, and now if he wants to see the king of a country, he can't wear tattered clothes, at least he must change into clean clothes.
Jiang Ling slowly looked at the shops on both sides of the national highway, and he saw a cloth shop specializing in selling foreign clothes, and his heart was overjoyed.
There are various styles in the store, the costumes of the Chu State are gorgeous and tight, which is good for the body, the clothes of the Southern Spirit Domain are wide, which is good for adapting to the environment, and there are even clothes from the Shangwu Continent, which are all placed on the shelves to buy.
Jiang Ling chose to choose a tight spiritual cultivator outfit, and the most important thing was to buy a pair of shoes.
In the past few days, he has been particularly puzzled that the Vietnamese people do not wear shoes and walk barefoot, which he has never been able to adapt to.
"Boss, how much do these cost?"
Jiang Ling changed his clothes in the lattice, felt good, and walked to the counter to pay.
The boss looked at Jiang Ling strangely, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you don't wear a sword, you are wearing shoes, Chu people! Count you lucky, the shoes under your feet are finely made, but the Yue people don't like to wear shoes, they don't know the goods, these shoes have been put for more than a year, and they can't be sold, and I am ready to dispose of them." ”
Jiang Ling looked relieved, fortunately he came early, if the boss really disposed of the shoes, it would not be easy to buy shoes.
"Boss, do the math, how much, I still have something to do. ”
The boss picked up the abacus, hit it, and muttered: "A soul cultivator's clothes cost 500 silver coins, and a pair of shoes cost a gold coin." ”
Jiang Ling touched his pocket, took out two gold coins, paid for it, turned around and left the store, and rushed to the Martial God Temple.
Before he arrived at the Martial God Academy, Elder Xuanfeng squinted, took the wine jug, and walked out of the door with a swing.
Elder Xuanfeng exhaled a breath of wine: "Little brother, don't be stubborn, follow me to meet King Yue." ”
"Old drunkard, why do you drink so much again?"
One old and one young, walking slowly on the street, no one would think that the drunk, messy old man would be the Xuanfeng Elder of the Martial God Academy, and no one took the initiative to talk to Jiang Ling.
After walking for about half an hour, the red wall of the imperial city appeared in front of me, not very magnificent, nor occupying a lot of places, not big or small, like the mansion of the nouveau riche.
The red-painted palace gate is a round arch that allows five or six carriages to pass side by side.
The guards guarding the palace gate were all fully armed, equipped with armor and iron swords, and their faces were cold.
"Who are you, and why are you in the palace?"
Elder Xuanfeng squinted, took a sip of wine, waved his hand, and a powerful aura struck, directly shaking back the guards who were blocking the way.
The guards took up their weapons and surrounded them, their eyes full of surprise.
Elder Xuanfeng is a Xuan-level high-level swordsmith, and according to the division of spiritual cultivators, he at least has the strength of the high-level realm solid spirit realm, and these guards who rely on their strong physique can't stop them at all.
Xuan Feng squinted, took out the Xuan-level high-level swordsmith badge, and walked in with Jiang Ling with a smile.
When the guard door saw the badge of the Xuan-level high-level swordsmith, he also understood who was coming, and he did not stop it, but looked ashamed.
"Elder of the Martial God Academy, you go and inform King Yue. ”
The captain of the guard ordered one of the soldiers to report quickly.
Elder Xuanfeng squinted, stopped, shook the wine jug, and without a drop of wine, he smiled at Jiang Ling and said: "Little brother, if you see King Yue alone, you must use the situation in the Southern Spirit Domain to persuade King Yue, let him promise to give you the cream for broken bones and bones, and I will go to the imperial dining room for a walk." ”
Jiang Ling knew that this old drunkard must be thinking about the fine wine of the palace and wanted to go to fetch the wine alone.
Now that he has arrived at the palace, Ruth in the back has to walk on his own.
He said with some reproach: "Old drunkard, I am hungry for you." ”
Jiang Ling walked alone to the palace of King Yue, the gardens in the palace are almost the same, there are water and mountains, the lakes and mountains reflect each other, and the towers and pools are scattered.
A pool, rippling blue waves, and the breeze, the aquatic plants floating on the water trembled slightly, hitting layers of waves.
A long and mournful piano sound came from not far away, like a girl's cry, and like a lamentation played by a piano player to himself, which made people feel pity in the distance, and suddenly gave birth to a sense of desolation and helplessness of fate.
"Who's playing?"
Jiang Ling looked up and saw a pavilion on one side of the pool, which was called the Meditation Pavilion.
A woman wearing a splendid gold silk skirt, dignified and elegant, just like everyone's ladies, her face is haggard but does not lose the beauty of the city, tears are dotted, and she looks even more moving, she is sitting in the meditation pavilion and raising her sleeves to stroke the qin, sighing endlessly.
The wind blows melodiously, but the song is sad and melancholy, and one after another is full of desolate and helpless sounds.
The resentful music suddenly rises and falls, as if a gorgeous life is about to end, and it has the taste of the end of the song.
Jiang Ling didn't know much about music, but he could hear from the sound of the piano that the woman playing the piano was extremely sad in her heart.
In particular, the sound of the trough after ** reveals the sadness of passing away against the current.
"Not good...... She's going to kill herself. ”
Jiang Lingcai realized that the woman was playing the last farewell song to herself.
The woman looked at the lake in despair, groaning and lamenting, tears of disappointment in her eyes.
"Brother Huang, are you really willing to let me marry another country? Marrying a white-haired monarch of the Chu State who is about to reach the limit, I would rather go to Qingchi. ”
After saying that, the woman lifted her feet, closed her eyes, and jumped into the pool in despair.
"Plop!"
Jiang Ling was in a hurry, but he didn't expect to meet a woman who committed suicide, he couldn't care so much, and plunged into the pool.
After some tossing, Jiang Ling finally fished the woman out of the water in time.
The woman choked on several mouthfuls of water, her body was soft and weak, she opened her eyes in a daze, her eyes flashed with tears, and she said in disappointment: "Who are you? Why do you want to save me? Let me die! ”
Jiang Ling hugged the woman who exuded a faint fragrance, and really couldn't understand why he couldn't think of jumping into the lake to commit suicide when he was only about sixteen years old, and he looked like he was captivating the country and the city.
Jiang Ling said comfortingly: "I happened to pass by and saw you jump into the lake, and I was in a hurry, so I jumped down and fished you up." ”
Instead of thanking Jiang Ling for saving her life, the woman was even more disappointed and cried: "It's better to live than to die, it's better to die." ”
Jiang Ling helped the woman up, patted the woman's back, hit the lake water that the woman sucked into, and patiently persuaded: "You look so beautiful, look at your clothes, you are also a rich and noble family, if you can't think of anything, you have to jump into the lake to die." ”
The woman regained her dignified face, quite a beautiful posture, and sighed one after another.
"Leave me alone. ”
Where does Jiang Ling dare to go, if he leaves, the woman will jump into the lake again to seek death, wouldn't it be in vain to let a life die.
He patiently persuaded: "I'm not in a hurry, chat with you, maybe you will change your mind." ”
The woman didn't want to say anything, she turned her head to look at Jiang Ling, and sighed dignifiedly: "Do you know who I am?"
How could Jiang Ling know that the first time he entered the Yue Kingdom Palace, he didn't know the way before he accidentally entered here.
"I don't know!"
The woman sighed in understanding, and sighed: "No wonder you can still talk to me without any scruples, you can go! I don't want to trouble you." ”
Jiang Ling was a little unhappy when he said this, what does it mean to involve himself, and saving someone seems to be causing trouble, he will never leave if he doesn't understand this matter.
"You tell me who you are, I am in charge of this matter. ”
When the woman saw Jiang Ling's insistence on understanding the situation, she was in pain in her heart, and she wanted to find someone to talk to, but she didn't want to affect others.
"My name is Ling Yao, the princess of the Yue Kingdom, the princess who is about to be sent to the Chu Kingdom and the princess. ”
Princess Ling Yao shook her head helplessly, she was very reluctant to marry Chu Guo far away, and even would rather jump into the lake to seek death than agree.
"Princess, you are the princess of Yueguo!"
Jiang Ling was really startled, but he didn't expect that the person who rescued him was Princess Ling Yao of Yue Kingdom.
He listened carefully to Princess Ling Yao's cry, and only then did he know that it was the Chu State that had heard that there was a beautiful princess in the Yue Kingdom who could captivate the country and the city, and deliberately sent people to put pressure on the King of Yue to marry the princess far away to the current monarch of the Chu State.
The king of Yue was helpless, knowing that the national strength was not strong, and he could not stop the attack of the Chu army at all, if he did not agree to the request of the king of Chu, I am afraid that the Chu state would send troops to attack the Yue country.
After weighing the pros and cons, King Yue endured his hatred for the stability of the Southern Spirit Domain and agreed to the request of the Chu State, and married Princess Ling Yao to be the concubine of the white-haired Chu State.
Princess Ling Yao heard that the monarch of Chu was a white-haired old man, unwilling to marry far away, and did not dare to disobey the order of King Yue, so she came to Jingsi Pavilion to jump into the lake to seek death in desperation.
"King Yue is too cowardly, marrying his sister to an old man who is about to die will not send you into the fire pit and bury your happiness. ”
Jiang Ling angrily accused King Yue and comforted Princess Ling Yao not to think about it, there will always be a solution to things, don't do stupid things.
