Chapter 11: Cursed Blood

Previous Chapter

"It's time to go." Dugu replied.

Liu Mengjing and Dugu Jingling waved goodbye and set foot on the way home.

Dugu Jingling stood at the mouth of the cave, watching the two of them go away, I don't know if he was thinking about his brother or this bosom friend who had just met.

"Your sister loves you very much......" Liu Mengjing said after walking for a while.

Dugu replied: "Yes, I love her too." His tone was flat, as if he was saying something that didn't make sense. Only those who know him know that behind such a bland sentence is actually the most sincere feelings.

"May I ask what disease your sister has?" Liu Mengjing said.

Dugu Fu sighed and said, "If only I knew." ”

Liu Mengzhen was slightly surprised.

"When she was born, no one knew she was seriously ill. It wasn't until she fainted occasionally that we began to ask the doctor to come and see her, but after traveling all over the east, west, north and south, no famous doctor had the ability to heal her, and we couldn't even tell what kind of disease she had......"

Dugu Fu paused and said, "Since you are already friends with her, it doesn't hurt to talk to you." Behind his words, he hoped that Liu Mengjin would be able to keep their secret.

Liu Mengjin nodded.

Dugu Fu nodded, and then said: "Later, one day, a person who looked like a priest came to our house in Yuzhou City. He said that he knew what Dugu Jingling's illness was and knew the only antidote, but he had one condition......"

Dugu Fu hesitated.

"It's okay, if it's something I shouldn't know, I don't have to say it." Liu Mengjing said.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, you should have known." Dugu replied, he glanced at his surroundings, "I'm just worried that the partition wall has ears...... He offered that if I gave my blood, he could tell us how to get the cure. It was then that I learned that I had the blood of the ancient gods passed down from my ancestors in my veins. ”

Liu Mengjin looked surprised, she suddenly understood, no wonder Dugu Fu could easily defeat Ji Yanyin, because his body contained the blood of the ancient gods.

Dugu Fu continued: "I agreed without hesitation, because at that time he was the only hope. But just as I was about to hand him the blood, my uncle Baili Cheng suddenly arrived and drew his sword to assassinate the man......"

"I hated him for a month, hating him for extinguishing the last hope of treating Ling'er. But later, I found out that Uncle Cheng actually knew that I had the blood of the ancient gods in my body for a long time, but for the sake of a peaceful life for me and Ling'er, he didn't tell us......"

"The person who wants my blood, Uncle Cheng doesn't know who he is, but he knows that there is an organization that secretly collects people who have the blood of the ancient gods. And the blood in my body is the oldest and most dangerous one, although it has not yet awakened - Uncle Cheng said that he hopes never to awaken......"

"He knew that he couldn't let that person get his hands on my blood no matter what, and once he touched it, it could explode into danger in an instant. So he quickly killed him. As for the blood of the ancient gods being able to cure my sister's illness, it was Uncle Cheng who told me at that time, but my sister and I have the same blood, so I can't treat her with my own blood......"

"Moreover, my blood is cursed blood, born with only killing and bloodthirsty genes, and cannot cure diseases......"

Speaking of this, Dugu Fu sighed and said, "But your blood can." He glanced back at Liu Mengjing.

"The blood of the ancient gods flowing in the Liu family is the blood of the emperor, which is resistant to all diseases, this is what Uncle Cheng told me later. Since Liu Yi used it before the founding of the Dynasty, no descendants of the Liu family have used it since, and there is no record of this in the history books, so most people don't know about it. But I am a descendant of the Dugu family, and Uncle Cheng is a descendant of the loyal retainer of Dugu Zheng, the last king of the Great Western Kingdom, so he has always known about it......"

"He advised me to dispel the idea of the Emperor's blood...... But he also knew it couldn't be. ”

"Yes...... "Liu Mengjing said, "Jing Ling also knows that you will do anything for her." ”

Dugu Fu looked up at the flowing white clouds in the sky, wanting to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after all.

The two rode side by side, and Dugu Fu smelled the faint fragrance coming from Liu Mengjing's body. Even after staying in the mountains of Yuzhou for a day, Liu Mengjing's body still exudes a girl's unique body fragrance.

Dugu Fu frowned slightly, because the aroma that had just hit his nose disrupted his thoughts. Although Dugu Jingling also has body fragrance, Dugu Fu and Dugu Jingling grew up together and are used to smelling the fragrance of girls, but the fragrance on Liu Mengjing's body is very different from Dugu Jingling's. Dugu Jingling seems to be an orchid in the mountain valley, secretly fragrant, while Liu Mengjing is a peony in the sun by the water pavilion, flamboyant and gorgeous, with royal nobility.

The slightest fragrance wafted into Dugufu's mind, making it impossible for him to concentrate on other things.

When I was with Liu Mengjin before, I didn't feel this way, but being alone with her at the moment made me feel the nobility and beauty of this royal princess more clearly.

Dugu Fu suddenly grabbed the reins and looked vigilantly at the woods next to him. His sharp instincts told him that something was approaching, but he couldn't see anyone.

Liu Mengjin saw Dugufu's appearance and followed his gaze.

There was a noise in the bushes in the woods, and a white shadow suddenly emerged and rushed towards the willow dream.

Dugu Fu saw this thing clearly the moment it came out, breathed a sigh of relief, and shook his head helplessly.

The little thing jumped on Liu Mengjin's horse, and it turned out to be the white mink.

Liu Mengjin was pleasantly surprised: "It's you, Ermine." ”

She gently stroked the sable's hair, and the sable writhed affectionately in her arms.

Dugu Fu looked at her, smiled faintly, and said, "It's a pity that Jing Ling was born in the mountains and wilderness, so he didn't have the opportunity to buy the pets of nobles in such big cities." ”

Liu Mengjing said: "If she likes it, I can bring a few to her." ”

Dugu Fu sighed and said, "There's no need to do this, if you can keep our secret and persuade your father, it will be the greatest kindness to us......"

Prior to this, Liu Mengjing had promised Dugu Jingling not to leak their affairs.

"Don't you trust me?" Liu Mengjing looked at Dugu and replied.

"I don't trust anyone." Dugu replied, "People like us live in Daqi, and if we want to survive, it is impossible to trust other people, let alone people from the royal family." ”

"In that case, why didn't you just kill me in the first place?" Her voice was delicate and soft, but her tone was cold, making people feel cold and weak. Liu Mengjing looked at Dugu Fu, his eyes were crystal clear, and his violet pupils were faintly shining.

Dugu Fu avoided her gaze and said, "It's not my purpose to provoke a war, my purpose is just to save Ling'er." If the emperor of the dynasty wants to come and kill us, I will flee with my family to other places. Of course, I would like you to persuade your father not to send troops to this wilderness, and not to reveal our family history. ”

Liu Mengjin looked at his side face, and the sunlight outlined his upright and clear facial features. She remembered how decisive and cold he was when he killed someone, and now he was gentle like an ordinary teenager when he talked about his family.

The white sable obediently crouched in front of Liu Mengjing, twisting his body from time to time. Liu Mengjin gently stroked the white mink's hair.

The two men walked in silence for some distance.

"Actually...... I also have an older brother. Liu Mengjin suddenly said, "It's just that I haven't seen him for a long time......

"Is it Prince Liu Yinhuan......" Dugu replied, "He has indeed been an envoy to Hanbei for a while." ”

Liu Mengzhen looked at the sky and muttered: "I don't know the life of Hanbei, can he still adapt to ......"

A lone goose flew under the sky, it soared alone, but it was not panicked, as if enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountains.
