07 The woman came by night
Chengfeng thought that Jielan was very sensible, but she didn't expect that now she would make herself like a headless fly for a battle, and she only thought about him from morning to night, and where she was now, what identity, what crisis she was facing, she herself didn't know, Chengfeng was disgusted with such Jielan, he was really unbearable, and scolded loudly: "What? Is your world completely over without him? Is it that if he really dies, you plan to go with him, are you still not the Jielan I know, the unyielding woman I know, and now you, don't you know how ridiculous it is? If you really want to see her so much, you can leave now, and you don't have to stay here anymore, but I want to tell you, I'm afraid that as soon as you leave this medicine house, you will die without a place to bury. ”
Jielan has never been scolded like this, let alone Chengfeng, Jielan looked at the angry Chengfeng in front of her, she didn't know what he was angry about, but from his eyes, Jielan could see that Chengfeng was caring about herself, hearing Chengfeng's reprimand, Jielan was silent for a while, yes, she had made herself very haggard because of the Qing Zhan, and if she continued like this, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to support it, she sighed long and asked, "I know, I'm very selfish like this, but let me let go of this matter, You know how difficult it is, you have also lost, I thought that even if other people don't know me, I think you should know me, but I didn't expect that even you don't know me, even if I am strong, I am just a woman, and there are times when I am tired, can't I be tired once? ”
"Blue!" When the black pig heard Jielan's sincere words, he was also very sorry in his heart, and he called softly, full of pity.
Chengfeng looked at Jielan, who was hazy with teary eyes, and for some reason, he finally relented, he turned his back and said, "If you really want to see Qing Zhan, you'd better not leave our sight, otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be dead before you see him." ”
The black pig didn't understand why Chengfeng was so dignified, although Jielan killed Qing Zhan, but Chengfeng didn't seem to be worried about this, and he didn't seem to have something to hide from them, the black pig couldn't help but ask, "Do you know anything?" I have heard you mention about the three rulers of the royal city, and one of them is the son of the king, and who is her son? Isn't it her heir who has the best chance of becoming the next king? ”
Chengfeng didn't expect the black pig to ask this question, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he only said: "A person who should return but does not want to return, so the people of the royal court have no confidence in this person, so naturally they will not support it, but after all, he is the heir of the king, and he is the biggest threat to other candidates, so as long as he does not exist, there will be one less political enemy, I say this, you should understand!" ”
After listening to this, Black Pig also understood, "So who is this person?" ”
"This person doesn't know it, so why should you want to know? Protecting your life is the most important thing. Chengfeng didn't want to answer any further.
The black pig had no choice but to stop, but he kept thinking about it, and always felt that this matter was not simple, and the black pig couldn't think of it anymore.
After listening to Chengfeng's words, Jielan only said: "Okay, I won't go to the royal court in a hurry, but I still insist that I will wait for the royal court of Qingzhan Hui, and I won't leave Pingdu so easily." Also, what I want to know is that when Princess Nanrong left, she said that you had to go to the sacrificial ceremony, what was going on? ”
Qi Xue knew the origin of this incident, so he explained: "Feng He is the Venerable of the Holy One, and it can be said that he is a messenger sent by the world of God's grace and suffering, so the heavenly sacrifice ceremony must be present to show respect for the heavens, and many times, only when the new lord of the blood country ascends the throne, a great disaster occurs in the world, or when the king abdicates, the heavenly sacrifice ceremony will be held, but I don't know why it was held this time." ”
Everyone was silent, because they almost guessed the answer, that is, the current king intends to announce his abdication at the heavenly sacrifice ceremony in three days, that is, will the next king be chosen on the same day?
"I heard Princess Nanrong also say that on that day, Qingzhan Shaojun must also go, right?" Jielan suddenly became nervous.
Chengfeng looked at her nervous appearance and had to nod.
"It's going to be alive or dead, isn't it?" Jielan asked.
Chengfeng still nodded. Jielan finally breathed a sigh of relief, she wandered around the house a few times, and then said: "Then let's go to the festival in three days, since Chengfeng must go, then the three of us will go with you, and we will definitely not be stopped!" ”
"You're going to sacrifice to the Heavenly Sacred Scriptures, have you really decided to do that?" Chengfeng suddenly tensed.
"Of course, can I choose not to? Instead of waiting here, why don't you try your luck and maybe see it? What's more, I don't worry about you going to worship the heavens alone, as you said, you are a person who can be used for those in power, and they will definitely rush to fight for you, if something happens to you again, how can I rest assured, so I must accompany you. Jielan's words came from the bottom of her heart, and she was also sincerely worried about Chengfeng's safety, not just about Qingzhan. And after Chengfeng heard these words, he thought that he still had a place in her heart, and she still cared so much about herself, so she was not in vain to accompany her to be born and die, but Chengfeng was not only worried about the matter of Qingzhan, but a bigger crisis, he only asked: "Do you know that you went to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, what you are about to face there, it may be a bet of nine deaths and a lifetime, do you understand?" ”
"I know, of course I do, but I have to go." Jielan's attitude is very resolute, even if Chengfeng wants to persuade her, I am afraid that she will not be able to dissuade her.
"Well, as long as you don't regret your choice, I'm bound to be by your side forever." Chengfeng's words are full of meaning, but for Jielan, she thought he was saying that he wanted to protect her, so she was very moved in her heart, but for Chengfeng, in addition to guarding, it was a promise, a promise that Jielan was about to know.
Black Pig and Long Yi saw that Jielan and Chengfeng had agreed, so they had nothing to say, so they had to respect their decision, but when they thought of the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens three days later, they were still quite nervous, after all, Jielan's life or death was really decided at that time.
Several people planned to stay in this medicine village for three days, and after three days, they went to participate in the sacrifice to the heavens, and they explained to the owner of the medicine village that they needed to live for another three days, and the owner of the medicine village made sure that their identity was respected, so they naturally did not dare to slack off, so they responded repeatedly.
Jielan also listened to Chengfeng's request and did not go out alone, in case something unexpected happened, and several people waited quietly in the medicine village for the arrival of that day.
At night, Jielan and Qixue slept together, Jielan thought of the ceremony three days later, thinking that it was very likely to see Qingzhan on that day, she was very nervous, she couldn't sleep for a long time, she gently propped up from the bed, took the clothes on the bedside chair and stool, and after simply putting it on, she opened the door lightly, ready to go outside the house to breathe, as soon as she got out of the house, she saw Chengfeng standing there guarding, it seemed that he was afraid that Jielan would go out privately, so he stayed here.
Jielan was a little helpless, took a deep breath, and said, "Are you afraid that I will go out without permission?" Are you so worried about me? Jielan complained in a low voice, she was afraid of waking up Qi Xue, and softly closed the door, and then walked to Chengfeng's side.
Chengfeng didn't feel that there was anything to apologize for, but said: "I'm not afraid that you will slip away without permission, but the land of the royal city, it's too dangerous, these three days are the three days to decide who wins and who loses, not to mention that Princess Nanrong has already found it, so people from other forces must also know about the existence of you and me, so these three days can be said to be the three days that determine our life and death." ”
Jielan heard Chengfeng say it so seriously, and she still didn't believe it, but looking at his nervous appearance, it didn't look like she was deliberately scaring her, after she understood the political situation in Wangcheng, she also knew that this trip was dangerous, but the enemy was in the dark, they were in the light, and Jielan also knew that their situation was very dangerous.
"I know, so I won't run away without permission, don't worry, I won't let you worry about me anymore." Jielan swore that she hoped to make Chengfeng trust her.
Chengfeng nodded, and then didn't say much, the two just stood in the corridor like this, looking at each other speechlessly, just thinking about the life and death that the two of them experienced together, I am afraid that I can't count them until now, and this affection of birth and death is probably unforgettable.
When the two of them stayed until the hour, they were about to go back to the room, but they saw a knock in the lobby downstairs. Jielan and Chengfeng both came to their senses and became wary of late-night visitors.
The second child in the shop yawned and opened it from the lower room on the left side of the ground floor, and when he looked at his expression, he knew that he was very annoyed, and felt that he had come to disturb his sleep at such a time. After she opened the door, Jielan and Chengfeng looked through the faint candlelight in the corridor, but saw a person in a black robe, the figure was graceful, obviously a woman, but she covered her face with a black veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but the eyes that were exposed were full of energy, and there were two attendants behind this person, these two attendants were also dressed in black, and it seemed that they didn't want to attract attention.
When Xiao Er saw this woman, he thought she was here to seek medical treatment, so he said angrily: "Our pharmacy has closed, please come back tomorrow to see a doctor and grab medicine!" "Then the door will be closed.
The woman was not in a hurry, took out a piece of gold from the cuff, stretched out her hand, and handed it to the little second-hand, Xiao Er saw this gold, and was so stunned that he was stupid, he bit it with his teeth, and almost bit off one of his teeth, only to find that it was really gold, and immediately stood aside and respectfully let her in.
After the woman entered the store, she looked up at Jielan and Chengfeng in the corridor on the second floor, and said softly: "Presumably you two are the White Devil Chengfeng and the Blue Devil Jielan, please come down and talk!" ”
I don't know why, Jielan heard her voice, felt so familiar, the voice in her ears thousands of times, fiercely tugging at her heart, and her eyes, why are they so familiar, as if they have been concerned for a long time, and have missed a pair of eyes for a long time, Jielan heard her call her name, and walked downstairs like a demon, Chengfeng didn't know the origin of the other party, afraid that this person would have bad intentions, so he pulled Jielan who involuntarily went downstairs, and walked in front of him, if there was any abnormal movement, he would also block it, so as not to let her be hurt.
Walking in front of this woman, the woman didn't look at Chengfeng, but her eyes kept falling on Jielan's body, looking at her carefully, there was no malice in that gaze, but it was full of countless attachments, as if she was looking at her most beloved person, Jielan was also like this, in the face of these eyes, she had a feeling of wanting to cry, she couldn't help asking: "Do you know us?" Who are you? ”
The woman put her hands between her abdomen, her posture was elegant and noble, obviously not an ordinary person, because the temperament she exuded was also incomparable to ordinary people, she lightly opened her lips and said slowly: "You don't need to ask who I am, you just need to know that I don't have the slightest malice towards you, and I know all the things about the two of you, and I also know the purpose of your coming to the royal city, I came to tell you that you are all the blessings of God to this bloody country, so you are coveted by many people, and you need to understand, Please be careful about your current situation. ”
Although she said that it was a terrible thing to fully understand their affairs, Jielan did not feel afraid from her mouth, but the cordiality that she had not seen for a long time, but who was the other party, and why did she say this? Jielan was a little puzzled, and she asked, "Is this lady here to tell us this?" ”
