Chapter Fifty-Eight: Princess Fuso
The terrible screams were endless, and the treacherous and rampant laughter was interspersed with the wails that filled the sky. Wherever the robbers went, the flames were so hot that they wanted to burn the clear sky red.
What was once a harmonious and beautiful countryside like a paradise has turned into a human purgatory that eats people and does not spit out bones. None of the young women were spared, plundered, raped, killed, and died in the wilderness. The strong men were dragged to work as coolies, leaving only some children to guard the door. Lucky enough to be able to escape, he ran to the nearest jade city to avoid the limelight without thinking about it.
If it weren't for a group of bandits who leaked their mouths, how would they know that this unwarranted disaster was deliberately manipulated by someone at all. It's a pity that it's too late.
In just a few days, these villages suffered a series of cruel disasters, and none of them were spared. The dead died, scattered, and soon the village was left with few people. In order to save their lives, the remaining people had to integrate into the Jade City, in order to protect the light clan.
The second son subdued several villages at once, and made great achievements. The people of Jade City praised him for his youth and ability, thinking that he had saved the villages from the bandits and bandits, and had kindly taken in the refugees.
And those refugees who fled for their lives are under the fence, snorting on others, they can only look at the eyes of the second son, and where they dare to tell the truth, they can only break their teeth and swallow blood.
And these inhumane things had only just subsided shortly before Jinyunlan and his party stepped into this place, so they happened to be at the most tragic scene in person.
When everyone heard of such a tragic incident, their hearts couldn't help but become heavy.
It's just that Xiuxiu's face is flushed, and the high fever does not go away. inevitably delayed her condition, and the three of them had no time to fall into compassion for too long, so they could only hurry up and rush towards the jade city, the first city in the world.
In about half a day, the four of them arrived at the gate of Yucheng City.
Probably because of the mass attack on the nearby villages, there was a long queue outside the city gates anxiously waiting to enter the city, looking ragged, panicked, cautious and cowering, refugees from those villages.
Jin Yunlan looked at them and sighed deeply, another group of poor people.
The four of them walked to the city gate guards and handed over their customs clearance documents in turn.
The city guard was so overwhelmed by the influx of refugees in the past few days that he couldn't help but be amazed when he met a few noblely dressed faces.
I saw this row of handsome men and women standing in front of me, all of them were extraordinary, especially the one with the coldest temperament and a child on his back, and his facial features were not as handsome as mortals.
He was so surprised that he almost forgot to check their clearance papers.
Jin Yunlan handed over a forged customs clearance document. The stakes are so high that she has a special identity, so she has to remain incognito. The doorman opened it and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see anything wrong, but he still routinely asked: "What are you doing in Yucheng?" ”
Jin Yunlan replied calmly: "I'm here for a tour." The first city in the world is famous all over the world. ”
The castle guard nodded triumphantly, waved his big hand, and let him go.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Tan also handed out the customs clearance documents, and the city guard saw that they were in a group, so he didn't bother to ask again, and quickly let him go.
It's just that when it was Li Yan's turn, there was a little mistake. He has lived in the mountains for a long time and has never been out of the city, where did he get the customs clearance documents. In a moment of negligence, I forgot about this stubble, and now it is too late to forge it immediately.
When the castle guard saw him standing there motionless, he stared at him strangely.
Jinyunlan and Bai Tan glanced at each other, Bai Tan nodded in understanding, and explained to the city guard with a smile: "This is my younger brother, I went out in a hurry, I forgot to bring the customs clearance documents, please be accommodating." ”
The castle guard looked back and forth between the two of them in disbelief, and after a long moment, he shook his head in disbelief: "No, not at all." He pointed to Li Yi and said to Bai Tan: "To be honest, the appearance and temperament of the two of you are really not at the same level. ”
"Hey, you, how do you talk? Apparently I'm much more handsome than him, okay? Bai Tan raised his eyebrows, tilted his neck, and raised his eyebrows to correct his name.
Li Yan glanced at him silently.
The castle guard sneered perfunctorily: "You say yes, that's it." Then, he turned his gaze to Li Yu.
Li Yi remained silent, stretched out his hand to pull Jinyunlan to his side, naturally took her hand, and said to the city guard, "She is my wife." ”
As soon as these words came out, Bai Tan was directly dumbfounded.
Jinyunlan's pupils suddenly constricted, and she was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting. While covering the mouth of Senior Brother Bai Tan, who was eager to deny it, he admitted: "Yes!" He is my husband. I am Bai Tan's younger sister, then he is his brother-in-law, and our brother-in-law is also called my younger brother. She turned her head to look at Bai Tan, secretly twisted him, and said in a warning tone: "Right? ”
Bai Tan was like a big dog who had only been wronged, whimpered and fell into defeat, and lowered his head.
Jin Yunlan let go of the two people on the left and the right, took out a silver ingot from his purse and quietly stuffed it into the city guard's hand, and handed him a meaningful smile, "Please be accommodating." ”
The city guard quietly put the silver into his sleeve, and his face became extremely fast, "I see, the two are really talented and beautiful, and they are a natural pair." ”
The four of them finally entered the Jade City without danger. However, when he passed by the city guard, he reminded Li Yu mysteriously: "Ask for more blessings." ”
Li Yi looked back at him strangely.
As soon as Fang entered the city gate, Bai Tan immediately squeezed into the two people who were playing on the spot, and the big horse was separated between them, and his nose was spraying anger outward without concealment, and he was haunted by the other party's drama of sacrificing the reputation of his family Lan Lan.
He glared at the expressionless Li Yi viciously, and cursed in a low voice: "You stinky boy, you have so many eyes." ”
Li Yan's blue eyes were slightly deflected, he glanced at him lightly, and snorted contemptuously.
Bai Tan was suddenly furious, clamoring to fight with him on the spot.
"Pull it down, he can crush your skull with one hand." After saying a cool word on the side, Jin Yunlan retreated, ignoring the open and secret battles between them, and carefully observing the road signs along the way. She found a passer-by with a friendly face, and after asking the address of the nearest medical center, she quickened her pace and took Xiuxiu to the treatment.
After checking the pulse, the doctor prescribed a few ordinary antipyretics and a few old-fashioned medical instructions to send them out of the door.
Due to Xiuxiu's illness, they had to temporarily find an inn in Yucheng to settle down, and after she had fully recovered, they would start to live again. But this inevitably delayed the progress of the task.
Pinching his fingers, Jinyun Chong has defected for eight days. In just eight days, Yi Jinyunchong's footsteps may be the end of the world. Now the group of them went all the way to the southeast, and the final destination was temporarily set at Junmei Mountain. The mountain is steep and steep, and it is indeed an excellent hiding place.
But she knew her father, who would never put his hopes on a silver lining. Probably after they set off, he sent other men to look elsewhere for Jinyun Chong's traces.
Let's take a step at a time, maybe there are unexpected clues in this jade city.
The team led by Jin Yunlan walked on the bustling streets of Jade City, and the three of them had no time to enjoy the prosperous street scene and soft red fragrant soil of Jade City. Not only that, but the three of them, who were accustomed to a calm and gentle living atmosphere, were soon hurt by the continuous and noisy ears.
Suddenly, the noise of the world was extinguished, and a dull sound of gongs and drums came from the back, accompanied by the cheerful sonata of various orchestral instruments and percussion instruments, and the distinctive tunes gradually took shape in the light snow, and finally blended together, creating a touch of fire-like enthusiasm and unrestrained exotic style, mobilizing the slow cold wind and performing a passionate dance in mid-air.
Everyone present was seduced by this strange and beautiful drum beat, and they followed the voice.
I saw a huge guard of honor appear from the street in the distance, slowly coming towards the center of the street. The entourage of No. 180 was scattered all around the chariot, and there were more than 20 musicians playing music alone, all of whom were the best players in the workshop.
Leaning on a light red veil leaned against a woman in a red dress with a gilt mask. Although most of the woman's face was obscured, just looking at her exposed bright red lips and moist chin, you could guess that her stunning appearance must be extraordinary, not to mention that she also had an unusually dark skin, moist and translucent. This rare complexion complemented her amber eyes, bright and beautiful, bewitching like a fox.
She was dressed boldly, her long, smooth legs looming out under the sheer sheer gauze skirt. There is no inch on the feet, and the red Kodan smeared on the toes is also clear at a glance. A red gauze wrapped the whole body, except for a huge and luxurious tassel gold collar around the neck, which weighed heavily on the loose placket.
She is loose with black and bright green silk, and a gorgeous hibiscus flower in full bloom on her sideburns, leaning obliquely on the soft pillow, her posture is graceful and soft, which is intriguing. She raised the gold bottle to the side and sipped the mellow liquor in the glass, her eyes lazy and tired, but faintly revealing the majesty of the high.
The curling cigarette in the hand of the furnace at the forefront fascinated the eyes of passers-by and stumbled their steps. The woman seemed to have a natural magical power to catch the eye of everyone everywhere she went.
Soon, the guard of honor came to the eyes of the three strangers. Bai Tan was fascinated by this enchanting beauty, and was intoxicated for a while, and after he suddenly sobered up, he felt out of shape, touched his neck crampedly, and turned to ask a local person about the woman's origin.
The man generously introduced him: "This is the only beloved daughter of the Fuguang patriarch, Fuguang Yao, known as Princess Fusang." ”
"And what does this magnificent parade mean?" Bai Tan asked again.
The man lowered his voice and lowered his head to whisper to him: "Do you know, this princess of Fusang likes men, and she will take a tour of the city on the fifteenth day of the new year, and if she meets a man she likes, she will tie his wrists with a red rope in the street, and take him back to her Fusang Hall by any means necessary, and become one of her many faces." ”
Bai Tan frowned and repeated: "Unscrupulous means? ”
