Chapter 303: The True Queen

While Tang Xiaohao was asleep, Bao Meng told Su Man the story of her and Sang Luo, as well as the later "marriage" of Tang Xiaohao to Rouyuan Palace, the encounter of Chierda, Gusmo's Guijia Charm, Gui corpse and strange corpse surprise attack in Rouyuan Palace, and the subsequent Liangcheng demon incident.

After Su Man listened, he just held Bao Meng's face and said, "Bao Meng, thank you for your hard work."

Bao Meng held Su Man's hand and smiled, "But I'm home."

Su Man hesitated and said, "Although I am very reluctant to admit it, you must know that maybe it has just begun."

Bao Meng nodded slightly, yes, he returned to Rouyuan by himself and walked from one fog to another.

At this moment, Tang Xiaohao woke up, and immediately said after opening his eyes, "Hurry up!"

Bao Meng thought that Tang Xiaohao was having a nightmare, and immediately comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, it's over."

Tang Xiaohao said very soberly, "No, why haven't you left yet? You have to get out of here now, or the Bone Hunters will send someone again."

Suman was extremely calm: "I know, but where are we going? Didn't we talk about this before?"

Tang Xiaohao got up and said, "Go to the place behind the burial ground, I will escort you there, at least the burial ground can be used as a barrier, because it is really not safe to stay here."

Su Man was silent, just looking at Tang Xiaohao.

Tang Xiaohao said again: "The path of the Seven Stars is now known not only to the various forces of the Rouyuan, but also to the other forces of the entire Nine Plains, and it is clear that there are no secrets here. Even if the Bone Hunters don't send any more people, there will be others who come to the Tree to find out something, and if you stay here, you will never be at peace."

Bao Meng also persuaded Su Man: "Aunt Su Man, I think the colt is right, I can't stay here any longer."

Suman nodded, "I know, I said before that there are big trees near the boneyard where you can build a treehouse, but it's too dangerous."

Tang Xiaohao immediately got up and ran outside, and when he saw the torches lit outside, he realized that it was late at night, although the only remaining half-demons and mountain boys were asleep, but Song Song and other war spirits who were scouts were still patrolling around the Jianmu Divine Tree.

Tang Xiaohao immediately asked Dongshan Xiao to tell Song Song that he would personally take the six battle spirits and go to explore on both sides of the east and west mountain ranges of Wulian Mountain in two groups. Focus on investigating the area around the burial site, and don't let go of other places, check as far as you can, but you must go back and forth within a day.

After Song Song received the order, he immediately set off with five war spirits.

Tang Xiaohao then returned to the treehouse and said to Su Man, "I will let the war spirit go back and forth in a day, try to probe as far away as possible, if there are other monster races around, I will find a way to negotiate with them, in short, I must leave here."

Su Man nodded, glanced at Bao Meng cautiously, and then said to Tang Xiaohao, "One day is enough time for me to tell you everything I know."

This was originally one of Tang Xiaohao's purposes for coming here, but as long as Su Man elaborated on that memory, he would definitely say something about Baomeng's mother, Queen Durantuya.

Therefore, Tang Xiaohao sat next to Bao Meng, and Bao Meng sat down and looked into Su Man's eyes, waiting for the loved ones in front of her to reveal the secrets of the dusty past for her.

Suman said, "The reason why I was able to become the queen's personal maid was entirely because my father was Dauria, at least at that time he was also the shaman high priest of the Torth Division, and was entrusted with the duty of communicating with the gods of the Nine Heavens."

The concept of the personal maid of the queen of the Tors Department is completely different from the concept of the personal maid of the Huayuan court, in fact, it should be regarded as a female official, corresponding to the director of the Huayuan harem. Because even if he is a king, he can only marry one person, so there is no harem.

Suman was only one man in Durantuya's tent, and even the guards who guarded her, who were originally a centurion of the guards, had to obey her orders.

Tang Xiaohao couldn't help but look at Su Man carefully when he heard this, you must know that the female warriors of the Torth Department he had seen before, whether it was Antai or Shandan, looked very strong.

Although Suman is not weak, compared to the two of them, it is simply the difference between the elephant and the bear.

Suman recalled

At this point, a smile appeared on his face: "At first, the queen didn't like me, and she didn't like me very much."

Bao Meng wondered, "Why?"

Suman replied, "She thinks I'm rude."

Tang Xiaohao thought for a while and said, "Aunt Suman, you used to be similar to Antai and their gestures?"

Suman smiled, "Yes, it's like a rude man. Of course, I don't mean that men are all rude, because we are warriors, so sometimes we deliberately be rude, to distinguish ourselves from weak women in terms of behavior and appearance."

Durantuya didn't like this, she knew very well that Suman was deliberately imitating, and the purpose of her imitation was only to cater to everyone's stereotype of Torth female warrior.

At that time, Su Man naturally didn't understand, but Durantuya took out a pair of armor from his box and put it on, and then stood with a long knife in his hand, telling Su Man with his actions that even if she was a female warrior, she didn't have to be so rude and rude when she put on armor and held a weapon.

Looking at Durantuya in front of him, who was still elegant in armor, Su Man had a feeling that he had lived in vain for so many years.

Then Durantuya said to Suman, "Have you seen the portrait of King Sarena?"

Su Man nodded, "Of course."

Durantuya asked, "Do you think King Sarena looks rude?"

It dawned on Suman that the Sarena king in the painting was not only elegant, but also very beautiful, and when he commanded the battle on horseback, he looked like a dancer rather than a warrior.

Durantuya mimicked Suman's usual walking posture: "Why do you have to learn to walk like this with some men, you have to know that not every man is like that, and walking like that doesn't make you look imposing, if you were born like that, that's another matter...... Suman, I can see in your eyes that you don't want that."

Durantuya's words hit Suman's heart.

Suman really didn't want that, and she didn't actually want to be a female warrior.

Why do all the women of the Tors have to be warriors?

Why can't the women of Tors wear bright and beautiful clothes?

Why do the women of Torth have to eat like those men?

Why do the women of Tors learn to drink even though they don't want to drink?

Durantuya told Suman that whether it is a man or a woman, live as you are, be yourself, and don't care about the eyes of those around you.

Su Man recalled this, looked at Bao Meng and said, "The queen told me that everyone has times when they are weak or even weak, maybe some people are born weak and need to be protected, this is not a sin, it is not that you grit your teeth and insist on disguising yourself as another person, you are really strong. If one day, when the shell you used to disguise shatters, then you will be hidden in it and will be gone with the wind, even if it is a breeze on your cheeks."

People should be equal, and men and women should be equal, but equality does not mean abandoning oneself.

Bao Meng was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect her mother to be like this.

Tang Xiaohao naturally didn't think that Queen Duran Tuya's thoughts could be so clear and thorough.

With Durantuya's encouragement, Suman became himself again, and the two became good sisters.

Good sisters? The queen and the maids-in-waiting? Tang Xiaohao was surprised, no one would believe it when he said it.

Next, Su Man went to the key point: "The queen loves the old king deeply because she worships the old king and thinks that the old king is a hero, not just her hero, but the hero of the whole of Joohwon, and she firmly believes that her husband can lead all the people of Jouwon to tomorrow and into eternal light......

It is precisely because of this that the old clan king Tuohetai knows that he has a great responsibility, but after all, people have to get old. Especially after the death of the old king's former wife due to illness, the old king was even more afraid of death.

The reason for his fear of death was mainly because he did not think that his three sons could be the same as himself, so he thought that if he died, then there would be no one to inherit his unfinished business.

Tang Xiaohao endured it at this time

I couldn't help asking, "Aunt Suman, I really want to know, what did the old clan king originally want to accomplish? Is it conquest?"

After Bao Meng glanced at Tang Xiaohao, he also looked at Su Man, looking forward to the answer, and at the same time, he was afraid to hear the answer.

Su Man hesitated for a while and said, "Yes, it's conquest, but at that time, the old king's mind was just to want a piece of land that was different from Rouyuan, and this land could only be in Huayuan, because Rouyuan couldn't do anything else except raising cattle and sheep, and the people were living very hard."

Although Tuohetai had made such a request to the Huayuan court, it was rejected and misunderstood as an inch. After all, the people of Rouyuan have always coveted the fertile land of Huayuan in the history of Jiuyuan.

Suman continued, "To the south of the Jowon is Hwawon, to the west is the West Plain, and to the east is the Seowon Plain. The western plains are all the Gobi Desert, and the environment is even harsher than the Rouyuan, while the Ruiyuan is in ice and snow for most of the year, so the only thing that the people of the Rouyuan can see and envy is the nearby Huayuan in the south."

Tang Xiaohao sighed and said, "If I were the emperor, I would also be wary of hearing the old clan king make such a request. Although all the ethnic groups in Jiuyuan are descendants of the Kunlun people, because they have lived separately in the past 10,000 years, they have formed different cultural customs, and the accumulated contradictions have naturally created estrangement."

Bao Meng asked, "Aunt Suman, does my mother also support my father's search for some immortality?"

"No, the queen doesn't support it," Suman shook his head, "and that's the contradiction between the two of them."

Durantuya believes that human life and death are the laws of nature, although there are indeed many people who have grown into immortals, but they are also very few, and these people have almost no people in power, they are all hermit masters.

Durantuya told Tohetai that the reason why those people could grow into immortals was precisely because they could let go of the desires in their hearts.

But Tohetai only said one sentence, and Duran Tuya was speechless.

Tohetai said, "Wanting to grow into an immortal is a desire in itself."

Tang Xiaohao heard this and said, "Therefore, the reason why those people who have become immortals in the legend are successful is because they don't want to live forever in the first place, they just want to cultivate themselves."

Su Man nodded slowly: "Yes, but since a person's desire has already arisen, how can it be easily dissolved?"
