Chapter Eighty-Eight. Invitation

Seeing him again, Gu Lingsheng was slightly disappointed.

He didn't notice how carefully he was dressed, and he didn't notice that he had deliberately changed into new clothes. The things I asked were all official affairs in the south, and I didn't care about me in a word.

Why should I care about him, is this the love that the queen mother once said? Am I in love with him?

Does he love me? I do not know!

Everyone looked down on me, but he was willing to have a heart to heart with me.

Everyone respects me, but he is willing to see me off and catch me up.

If he really loves me, can I marry him? He already has a wife...

I have no one to love in my life, and this may be my life.

Thinking of this, tears flowed uncontrollably.

When she fell asleep, she had a dream.

I dreamed that I was sitting on a throne belonging to the Great Xia Emperor and looked down on everyone.

The courtiers below were nothing more than brightly colored rats, and arrogant princes and haughty ministers bowed before her.

At this moment, his brother came out of nowhere, pointed at her, and laughed loudly, and the princes and ministers also giggled, and hid their smiling faces with the back of their hands.

"You are just a woman, how can He De inherit the throne of Great Xia."

She tried to cover her eyes with her hands in panic, she wanted to escape, she wanted to leave Middle-earth City.

"Don't hurt her." Qi Rusong's voice sounded in his dream. "She is the princess of the Great Xia Kingdom, she is the one I love!"

"Someone you love?" She whispered, "Take me away, I don't want to be in this cage for a moment." Take me to the Ghost Forest in the South, a place where no one knows us.

I don't mind the name, I don't mind if you have a wife or not, I'll be with you for the rest of your life if you want to. ”

At this time, she heard her father and brother burst into a shrill laugh again, laughing at her indecency and mocking her for her lowliness.

When someone touched her shoulder and woke her up instantly, the laughter of her father and brother still echoed in her ears. Could it be that this hand is also part of the nightmare? Gu Lingsheng opened her mouth and screamed, and the owner of the handle, her nurse, turned pale with fright, and the six gods had no master.

Hearing the screams, several heavily armed royal guards burst in.

"What happened? Princess! ”

I couldn't show my fear in front of them, so Gu Lingsheng gathered her unkempt hair, "It's okay, you can go out." ”

"Yes!"

"You freak out the hell about me, Yue'er!" Her nurse comforted her, "What nightmare did you have? ”

Gu Lingsheng cried again, "It's okay," he said.

The nurse brought a cup of ginseng tea, "Take a sip to suppress the shock." ”

Gu Lingsheng took a sip and returned it.

The night wind pounded on the narrow window, making a "squeak" sound, which made her feel strangely peaceful.

"Will anyone love me?" She asked.

"It's natural," the nurse told her, "why do you ask?" Do you have a loved one? ”

"I don't know!" Gu Lingsheng's voice was a little muddy.

As a nurse who came over, she could naturally see the girl's thoughts, "Who is that person?" Isn't that King Qi? "No, I don't want to talk about him."

"Yue'er, it is normal for men and women to love each other, what is there to be shy about." The nurse smiled, "It is really a great thing that Prince Qi won the [Swing Trial] at a young age and was crowned the king of the southern realm.

It is said that he also passed the test of the chief master of the Demon Hunting Sect and obtained the true inheritance of Old Man Ye. Such a promising young man, even the old mother and I have a love for him. ”

"I won't tell you later. Nurse, don't say any more! The girl lowered her head, already blushing.

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I'm not reluctant." The nurse said as she pulled a piece of paper from her belt and handed it to her. "It's just that a young man surnamed Qi wrote a letter, saying that he wanted to give it to you."

"What? Give it to me! Gu Lingsheng snatched the letter and opened it with anticipation.

The letter reads:

The troubled times are prosperous, just for you to pour out the world. Cangshui Pujia, just for you to return to the field and unload your armor.

I fell in love with you at first sight, and yesterday there were many people and I didn't dare to show my true feelings.

Tomorrow, invite the city god temple on the outskirts of the city to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

"When did this happen?"

"Just when you're silently crying."

She clenched the letter tightly, and her heart was full of emotion.

In the south, she had seen the official document signed by Qi Rusong, and this trace did look like his...

Is this what he really thinks? Does he really love me?

But he has a wife, how could he...

He once said that his wife was a poor girl rescued in the Ghost Shadow Forest, and later married under the arrangement of the demon clan.

Perhaps, he is only a duty to his wife, not love.

Perhaps, he really loves me! Gu Lingsheng comforted himself like this.

"Nurse, who gave you the letter?"

"Prince Qi personally sent it."

Sure it's him...

"Nurse, he asked me tomorrow..."Gu Lingsheng asked, "What should I do?"

"Yue'er, listen to your heart."

She mustered up her courage, "How am I going to get back to him?" ”

"The less people know about this kind of thing, the better, and the reply will only attract attention."

She showed a hint of a smile, "God forbid, he didn't lie to me!" ”

~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~

Qi Rusong sat cross-legged, wanting to concentrate on cultivating the power of [Fire Spirit].

But no matter how hard he tried, he was always restless.

What is the meaning of the letter that the second prince asked him to send yesterday? Why do you have to do it yourself?

He always felt that there was something strange about it, but he couldn't say it.

When there was another knock on the door, his right eye jumped, which was not a good sign.

The person who came was the personal guard of the second prince. The other party saluted him and said, "The second prince asked you to go to the Chenghuang Temple on the outskirts of the city to get something, and after this matter is completed, his bet with himself will be cancelled." ”

It's too sudden, it's too simple, it's not like Gu Yang's style!

But no matter what he thinks in his heart, he must accept it.

"Understood, I'll leave immediately."

"The villain is retiring, the second prince asked me to remind you, be sure to go alone, and bring your weapons..."

Qi Rusong glanced at him, the other party's eyes dodged, and then left quickly.

"There must be oddities."

When the appointed hour was approaching, Qi Rusong put on the dragon armor and killed blood, carried the demon sword and dragon light on his back, and walked out of the residence.

On the outskirts of Lingnan City in the south, it is like a bright and clear garden, with the shadows of tall mahogany trees spilling into the stream, birds singing in the nests of birds in the hidden forest, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

The City God's Temple in Zhongzhou City is a different atmosphere. The temple has been abandoned and is now overgrown with weeds.

The temple stands tall and stands tall, with thousand-year-old trees lining the perimeter, emitting the smell of dampness and decay. There are no mahogany trees growing here, and the woods are made up of gray-green pines, strong oaks, and old iron trees.

Here, the thick black trunks of the trees squeeze against each other, the twisted branches weave a dense towering tree overhead, and the deformed intertwined roots wrestle with each other underground.

I don't know what to take and to whom?

When Gu Lingsheng saw him, Qi Rusong was sitting quietly on the moss climbing rock in a complicated mood. The demon sword dragon light lay on his knees, and the pool of water as black as eternal night washed the sword body.

The humus accumulated for thousands of years was thickly covered on the land of the Divine Wood Forest, sucking away the sound of her footsteps. Qi Rusong didn't notice her arrival.

"Rusong?" She called softly.

Today, Gu Lingsheng deliberately chose the green silk dress worn during the Five Kings meeting, which may remind him of something.

He then looked up at her. "Princess?" His tone was full of shock, "How did you come here?" ”

She didn't understand why he was asking this question. "Didn't you ask me to come?"

"I'm dating you?" Qi Rusong was puzzled.

Gu Lingsheng was uneasy, she spread her cloak on the woodland, and then sat down by the pool. "I've surveyed all around," she said, pulling out the letter. "There's no one here."

Qi Rusong frowned, did he want to get something from the princess?

So he asked nervously, "Do you have anything to give me?" ”

To him? Do you want my first kiss? Still is...

This kind of thing, how can a girl take the initiative.

"No, it's inconvenient, isn't it?" She blushed.

"Huh?" Qi Rusong realized that he might have guessed wrong. "Why, it's inconvenient?"

At this point, they looked at each other, and she could clearly see the surprise on his face. As she expected, the contents of the letter were fake, or simply forged.

Suddenly, she sensed the hidden aura of a strong man not far away, something to give her? Do you want me to have a head? She hung her head in despair. "You're going to hurt me too?"

He sensed the fear and despair on her face. "Hurt you? Where does this begin! ”

Gu Lingsheng's eyes were already flashing with tears, "You have already submitted to my brother, for your glory and wealth, for your southern realm, for your Qi clan, you must get rid of me, right?" She let out a heart-rending roar.

"I... What are you talking about? I couldn't understand a word. ”

"Humph!" Gu Lingsheng smiled hideously, "You are the bait, take advantage of my good impression of you, and set up an ambush and assassination against me, right?"

"Assassination?" Hearing this, Qi Rusong subconsciously pulled out the dragon sword and dragon light and looked around.

He also sensed the aura of the strong man. "No, I just followed your imperial brother's orders and came to get something, and I don't want to hurt you!"

Gu Lingsheng looked at Qi Rusong in surprise, and then let out a cold snort, "Hmph, where is the rat, hide your head and show your tail, get out of here!" ”

As she spoke, she slashed a wind blade at a speed that Qi Rusong's naked eyes could barely catch.

"Boom!" The thousand-year-old tree was split into several pieces and fell down with a bang.

"Hahaha, she is worthy of being the inheritor of the Gu clan's spiritual power, the little girl actually has such power!" A deep old man's voice came.

Qi Rusong followed the sound and saw a man of medium stature, ordinary appearance, no beard, and a pair of strange eyes that were surprisingly faint walking slowly from the broken wood.

His complexion was pale, his eyes were cold, and he had a smile that seemed to be a smile rather than a smile.

"Who are you?" Qi Rusong was in front of him with a horizontal sword, glaring at the other party.

"Lord Qi, you don't need to know who I am," the man said, "The second prince asked me to bring you a message, leave this place, you are still the king of the south!! ”
