Chapter 54 Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain
"After Ran Xiang left, Her Majesty opened her mouth and said to the guards beside her, 'Take a seat. โ
One of the guards immediately turned behind the screen behind the throne, and in a moment brought out a cushion covered with flannel, which was placed in front of the right side of the throne.
"Her Majesty looked at me and said, 'Young man, come and sit here and talk with me for a while. โ
"I stepped forward and sat down on the pouf.
"The Mother smiled and asked, 'How old are you?'
"I replied, 'Nineteen this year, twenty at the beginning of spring.' โ
After hearing this, a trace of sorrow passed over her face, and then her eyes were glazed, and she looked at the sky outside the door in a daze.
After a while, she sighed and said, 'My son-in-law, like you, is nineteen this year. โ
I didn't know how to answer.
"My mother looked embarrassed and smiled and said, 'Oh, Di'er is my daughter. โ
"I hurriedly said, 'Your daughter is a dignified princess, what kind of person I am, how dare I compare. โ
"The monarch said casually, 'According to the age of the two of you, it is time to compare. Just ......'
As soon as he said that, he shook his head and said, 'Where do you live?'
"I said, 'My family lives in a village outside the west gate of the city of Northeast Prefecture. โ
After hearing this, the monarch's eyes suddenly had more light, and it seemed that her heart was a little fluctuating.
But she did not lose her temper, and pretended to be indifferent and said, 'Is there a woman in her forties living in your village?' โ
"I was confused by her questioning, and replied, 'There are dozens of women in our forties, and I don't know which one Your Majesty is talking about. โ
"The mother said, 'Is there a widow?'
"I said, 'There are seven or eight widows.' โ
"The mother chased after her and asked, 'Is there anyone who has ever lived with a daughter?' โ
"I thought of the two widows with their daughters in the village, and said, 'There are two, one is Qin's sister-in-law and the other is Aunt Wang. โ
"The monarch shook her head and asked, 'Is your house the first village outside the west gate of the state city?'
"I replied, 'Yes.' โ
"The monarch's mother fell into deep thought, and said to herself: 'It can't be wrong, her surname in the secular world is definitely not Qin or Wang. Wellโโ, what Tho Aiqing just said last time, why did I forget it so quickly. It looks really old. โ
"After pondering for a long time, suddenly a word came out of the mouth of the monarch's mother: 'Horse!'
Then she looked at me and said, 'Horses, horses, I think about it, the phrase that Tho Aiqing told me is called horse hoof skating before the ice. โ
After speaking, a childlike smile appeared on her face, and she continued: "She lives in your village, and if you think about it, a widow with a daughter, surnamed Feng. โ
"I blurted out two words: 'Aunt Zhen!'
"The monarch's mother thought about it again and said to herself, 'I have no feet on the sheep, and I will burn the bebe and be fierce.' Feng-Yi-Zhen. โ
"The Mother was even more pleased, and then her face turned gloomy, and she said in a deep voice, 'This is the man.' โ
I saw that she was happy and worried, and I didn't know what to do, so she just sat quietly and silently.
"At this time, she asked me with a serious expression: 'Is it true that this aunt you are talking about does not have a daughter?'
"I thought of Yuhua and said, 'I have a daughter and live with her. It's just that when you asked just now, I really didn't think about them and their mothers, maybe they were too familiar, but they were excluded from my memory at a critical moment. โ
"Then the monarch breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's really pitiful, our mother and daughter are hopefully reunited." โ
"I didn't understand what she said, but I didn't want to ask again.
"Then someone from outside came in and said, 'Your Majesty, the hour of lunch has come. Please move the Eucharist to the dining hall. โ
"The Mother said, 'Let it be here, and I will go with your guests and generals. โ
When a long table was set up outside, dishes were introduced, and the lady invited everyone to sit down and share lunch.
"After lunch, the lady went back to the inner hall to rest, and I went out of the palace to wander around the city.
"As the sun sets, I was eating tea in a teahouse on the side of the main street in the city, when a group of people passed by in a commotion, led by Ran Xiang Tho.
"I hurried out of the teahouse, caught up with Ran Cho and asked, 'You hurried out early in the morning, what happened?'
Ran Xiang pointed behind him.
I looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a couple of soldiers escorting two men.
"When I looked closely, I was startled, those two people were the same people who led the bird-shaped monster at night, that is, the leader of the Huandou people who attacked the main mountain of the drought and the man with the inverted triangle face.
"I was curious and asked, 'What's going on? Didn't the two of them get killed?'
"Ran Tho said, 'They don't deserve to die. They fell into the canyon and fell on two black bears passing by, and the black bears were killed on the spot, but they were only slightly injured. โ
"'Our warriors who patrol the mountains have spotted them, and they have run into the deep forest. It took a day of searching to catch them. You come with me to take them to Your Majesty. โ
"I followed Ran Xiang and entered the palace with the escort procession.
"Above the hall, the two of them were escorted and knelt in front of the throne, and the monarch asked, 'Are you two here to attack my Drought Realm privately, or are you under the orders of your lord?'
"The leader of the Huandou people said, 'My lord is merciful, otherwise you would have been wiped out. โ
"The monarch said to the leader of the Huandou people: 'Since it is not at the behest of your lord, then our two clans are still friendly neighbors. I will let you go back today, and you must not have any more evil thoughts of fighting each other in the future. โ
"The leader of the Huandou people said, 'I have been captured today, and I have no face to go back, but I only want to die.' โ
"The monarch smiled and said, 'Son, don't be so righteous. Thirty years ago, I traveled with your ancestor in Chongshan.
"'He once felt the historical fact that his ancestors had caused chaos in the world, caused misery to the living beings, and finally caused his own people to be exiled to the mountains and then expelled to the secret realm of the earth, and said to me that if there is no conquest, all the races will be harmonious and close to each other, which will be a blessing for hundreds of millions of living beings. The lords of all ethnic groups should shoulder the burden of harmony and harmony in the world, and jointly create an ideal world in which all ethnic groups in ancient times coexisted and coexisted.
"'The words are still in my ears, but his old man has been back for thirty years.
"'Now the young master of your family, young and promising, should do something for the great cause of the human race.
"'You are a tiger and leopard-like figure in the Huandou clan, and you should devote more energy to serving the young master.
"'It's easy for me to kill you today, but have you thought about who your young master will rely on in the future. โ
"After listening to the words of the monarch's mother, the leader of the Huandou people gradually softened his tone and said, "Thank you for being so thoughtful, I will never set foot in the land of drought again when I go back this time." โ
"The monarch nodded, turned her head to the man with an inverted triangle face, and said, "The Xi Imperial Family is thousands of miles away from my southwest secret realm, and you have traveled a long way to come here, and you must have something to do." โ
"'According to my law of drought, both of you should be the leaders of the bandits, and you should go up on the noose and fall into the clouds, but for the sake of the peace of the human race, you will be spared unnecessary strife, and you will be pardoned for your sins today.
"'Back to the East China Sea, please tell the King of Li, the lesson of the King of Guli, although it has been ten thousand years, it can still be a precept, and the punishment of the four sins will be left to the four people, and it will not stop today, and I hope he will think twice. โ
"The man with the inverted triangular face smiled and said, 'Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing, the sinner will definitely advise the lord when he returns.' โ
After hearing this, Ran Xiang stepped forward angrily and said, 'Your Majesty will let these two people go back today, and it will definitely become a disaster for my drought tribe in the future. โ
The monarch waved and motioned for Ran Xiang to retreat. Then he said to the two who were kneeling in the hall, 'Go.' โ
When the two of them heard this, they crawled out and ran out. โ
