Chapter 119 The Old Man's Request
"Is it him?" His Royal Highness obviously didn't expect that the crown prince Murong Xuan would deign to do such a thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and he couldn't help but admire it at the same time.
"Isn't it?" Wood was also surprised that the trip to the southwest had upended his view of the crown prince.
"In this way, this time the prince may make up for his mistakes, but I am afraid that his father will be impressed by him." Murong Ke watched the prince doing things seriously, and couldn't help but judge.
"Your Highness, you see our ......" Wood seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it after all.
"We don't want to act lightly until we have to, do you think we are the only ones staring at the prince? You're too careless! His Royal Highness reminded.
"Yes, Your Highness reminds me!"
"Let's go, let's get down to business!" Murong Ke glanced at the prince again, and then ordered.
The southwest is a foreign land, there are many strange things such as cordyceps, and the second highness Murong Ke also listened to what the strategist said, the reason why he came to the southwest this time was to find a kind of Gu worm, I heard that it can charm people's hearts and make the living obey his command.
Of course, he didn't know exactly what he was going to use Gu worms for now, but once he encountered the right situation, he wouldn't be helpless.
"Your Highness, there are many displaced people now, and many people are displaced, but I am afraid that the person Your Highness is looking for is also among the displaced people, if this is the case, Your Highness's idea of this trip may be in vain."
"What you say is reasonable, but since this highness has come down, I will definitely do my best, so you can go with me to find it." Murong Ke said.
"Yes!"
Murong Ke only heard that in an old mansion in the southwestern suburbs, there lived a mysterious family, this family was good at Gu, which could make life worse than death, and make people obedient and obedient, magical and terrifying.
Following the route map given by the strategist, Murong Ke quickly arrived at his destination, the old mansion looked very old, so old that purple creepers crawled all around the old mansion, like a magical purple space painted with purple.
"Your Highness, this old mansion is so gloomy, I'm afraid that the people in this mansion are the same." Seeing this, Murong Ke said: "Wood, don't assert lightly, besides, we have to ask for others, and we can't chew the root of our tongue here." ”
As everyone knows, his words have already been heard by the people in the old mansion, and the man stared at Murong Ke for a long time, and suddenly smiled coldly, he said to the people around him: "The old man has to wait for someone to finally come, open the door."
Murong Ke stood at the door of the old mansion, not knowing how to get in, but at this time he saw an old woman suddenly walking out of the old mansion, the old woman looked at him meaningfully, and then said, "This guest, please come with me." ”
Seeing this, Murong Ke looked at Wood, so the two followed the old woman into the ancient mansion one after another. The ancient mansion was full of flowers and plants, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants were never seen by Murong Ke. There was a mysterious atmosphere in the air, and the old mansion seemed to be covered in a fog.
"Old man, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing Murong Ke come in, an old man said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Murong Ke couldn't help but be surprised, his visit to the southwest this time was a secret matter, and he hadn't told anyone at all, how could this old man know about it because he lived in an ancient mansion.
"Huh!" Seeing Murong Ke's puzzled expression, the old man smiled unconsciously, and then said, "Don't you think it's strange, how could the old man know that you would come to this ancient mansion?" ”
"Exactly!" Murong Ke did not hide his curiosity.
"Don't forget, the old man knows the art of Qimen Dunjia Seven Star Gossip, although he can't talk about astronomy and geography, but he still has a little confidence in the future." The old man couldn't help but explain.
Murong Ke had also heard that people in the rivers and lakes knew a lot about the secret art of feng shui, and they all had their own set of calculations about the causes and consequences, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was one of these capable people, and he didn't feel that he had come to the right place this time.
"Second Highness, the old man doesn't hide it from you, the old man looks at your appearance and judges that you have the appearance of an emperor, but even so, if you want to ascend the throne of God, you have to pay a lot of effort."
"Old man, isn't it a bit frivolous for you to say that. Now that the world knows that the crown prince is the future prince, what do you mean by that? Murong Ke was wary of this old man who said such unashamed words when he met for the first time.
"Hmph, Second Highness, don't tell the old man, you just want to be a prince, if that's the case, then the old man won't be verbose here, send off!" The old man's words were sonorous, and his tone was not lacking in firmness.
"You ......" Seeing this, Wood didn't want to scold the other party, but was stopped by Murong Ke.
"Old man, they all say that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a prince who doesn't want to be a prince is not a good prince, but even if His Royal Highness has this thought, but he is also weak, isn't it?" Murong Ke subconsciously probed.
His Royal Highness said this, and the old man loved to hear it. Since His Royal Highness has this idea, and he coincides with the old man, the old man is naturally willing to help His Highness. ”
Seeing that the old man's eyes were shining, Murong Ke faintly felt that he would definitely not simply want to help himself, so he said unconsciously: "Old man, Your Highness thinks that you should not help others easily, if you have any requirements, you can put them forward." ”
Seeing Murong say this, the old man smiled, "Your Highness is really refreshing, the old man just likes to make deals with people like you." ”
Trade? It turns out that the old man called this a transaction, or a transaction, a transaction must be exchanged for a thing, so that they do not owe each other, but they fall into a profit.
"You say!" Murong Ke couldn't help asking.
"The old man knows that His Royal Highness went to the southwest this time to seek the witchcraft of my ancient family. Legend has it that witchcraft can confuse people's minds, make them obey their words, and do whatever they want, presumably the prince wants to get this witchcraft very much. ”
"Exactly!"
Since this is the case, the old man will get straight to the point. This witchcraft is the secret art of my ancient family, and if His Royal Highness wants to get it, he must marry Gu Yue'er, the daughter of the old man, as a concubine. ”
"Lao'er, you are too rampant, with such a noble status as Your Highness, how can you marry a daughter of an unknown identity in the rivers and lakes." Wood immediately went berserk.
"Hmph, if you are a slave, just talk well, don't go crazy and talk nonsense, my ancient family enjoys a certain reputation in the rivers and lakes, wouldn't it be insulting for you to say this, since this is the case, then the old man will not send it."
"Wood, how did you talk to the old man, don't apologize quickly!" Murong Ke knew that since this old man had said such a thing, he must have been confident, and he might not be able to help him ascend to the throne of God, so he hurriedly scolded Wood.
Seeing that His Royal Highness said this, although Wood was resentful, he couldn't help but apologize: "I'm sorry, old man, it was Wood who was reckless just now, I hope you don't mind!"
"That's it, young man, don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is a big deal, besides, the old man's daughter is not something that anyone can marry if they want to." The old man said it as if it was serious, which made Murong Ke's heart sink slightly.
It is said that when he came to this ancient house, before he could find one or two of the witchcraft, he was arranged by someone to arrange a concubine in the air, which was so comfortable for him.
"Your Highness, the old man also said that the witchcraft of the ancient family is not passed on, but if His Highness marries a little girl, then the little girl can naturally return to the palace with His Highness, and the little girl has been passed down by our ancient family, so doesn't His Highness have an extra right-hand man by his side?"
"Daddy's words are very true!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, he saw a woman in a red dress quietly come out of it, she was wearing a veil, but her eyes were extremely deep, like a whirlpool, once she looked at it, she couldn't bear to move away.
"This one, but it's an ancient girl?" Murong Ke looked her up and down, but was attracted by its mystery, although he didn't know what it looked like under this veil, but judging from those eyes alone, this appearance should also be Tianzi.
"Exactly, Your Highness!" The woman was neither humble nor arrogant, and her voice was like a gurgling stream under the bright moon, which made Murong Ke feel inexplicably cool in his heart.
"Your Highness, what do you think?" The old man couldn't help asking.
"Just do what the old man says!" Murong Ke made a decision at the moment, and he didn't know why he was so determined, whether it was the devil in his heart who was doing it, or whether he was tricked by the Gu family, this is unknown.
"In this case, the old man feels that it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, so he will do the happy event tonight, so that the little girl will leave with His Royal Highness, and the old man will be relieved." The old man seemed to be in a hurry.
"This seems to be too anxious, after all, this marriage pays attention to the orders of powerful parents, and the words of the matchmaker should not be too hasty!" Murong Ke subconsciously said, he felt that it was too sudden.
"The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the old man is not the kind of person who is too particular, if His Royal Highness wants to regret it, then it will be as if the old man did not say it." Without saying a word, the old man threw out hard words again, and it was not for people to enter or retreat.
"Your Highness, don't be so rash!" Wood admonished.
"I know!" Murong Ke glared at him, as if he was also hesitating.
The woman on the side said in a timely manner: "Your Highness, although the little woman and you are meeting for the first time, I feel that Your Highness seems to have known a lot, maybe this is the fate in the dark." ”
"In this case, no matter whether His Royal Highness is willing to marry the little girl as Qin Jin or not, the little woman is willing to see her true face, which can also be regarded as a piece of sincerity of the little girl." As she spoke, the woman unconsciously pulled the veil off her face.
"Girl, no!" Second Highness Murong Ke couldn't help but want to stop it, but it was too late, only to see the woman tear off the veil on her face, revealing her true face.
It is said that beauty is like jade, and it is said that this woman really looks like a natural beauty, but she is natural, just like a beautiful jade that has lived in the mountains for a long time, which makes people unbearable to see, and even Wood can't help but be shocked when he sees it.
"The old man thinks that the little girl is more than enough for His Royal Highness, what does His Highness think?" The old man said suddenly.
