Suzaku Glimpse Burning Sky Fire Chapter 8: Banyan Tree and Sunset

"Three years ago, it was the great festival of the Zhao Kingdom once every ten years......"

Above Nanzhou, there are dozens of large and small countries, and although there are frictions between them from time to time, no country is strong enough to monopolize Nanzhou.

Although the Zhao State is much different from the Rong State and the Jin State, it is not weak.

A hundred years ago, it is said that there are immortals to open up the wilderness, to help Zhao build the national capital in the mountains and wilderness, and then the mountains are natural hazards, during which there are often legends of immortals knotting Mao practice, which can be regarded as the Zhao country's reliance in the underworld.

At that great festival three years ago, all countries had envoys, at that time Nanzhou was not peaceful, Rong Guo and Jin Guo competed against each other, and the territory of Zhao State was bordering the two, so Zhao's position was particularly difficult.

That time, in the Rongguo mission, there were also the second princes of Rongguo.

Among the younger generation of princes in various countries, the second prince of Rongguo is the most astonishing and brilliant, he successfully opened his mind and practiced at the age of seven, and it is said that the great immortal master on the mountain has designated him as a disciple of his own transmission early, and this mission is the last time he traveled to the world before climbing the mountain and cultivating the Tao.

"Why did you choose Zhao Guo?" Ning Chang asked as he listened to her introduction.

The woman smiled: "Because according to legend, there is a girl in the Zhao Kingdom, who is younger than him and has higher talents, and that girl is the daughter of the Son of God." ”

Ning Changchang asked, "Zhao Xiang'er?"

"Yes. The woman said: "He came to Zhao Kingdom to see that Zhao Xiang'er." ”

Ning Changchang asked, "Is she really that powerful?"

The woman said: "In fact, before that, no one had ever seen the young lady fight, and the young lady at that time was still a ...... Wild girl, the place we most often see her is in the wild forest and on the roof of the building, and her clothes are always dirty, now that I think about it, it should be a rumor deliberately spread by the country, in order to arouse the competitiveness of the second prince of Rongguo, let them fight, after all, the young lady is nominally the daughter of the son of God, and if she loses to the prince of Rongguo, her face will always be damaged. ”

Ning Changchang asked, "Then have they seen it?"

The woman nodded: "At that time, the young lady was sitting on the big banyan tree watching the sunset, and the second prince accidentally saw her, not knowing that she was the highness he was looking for." ”

Ning Changchang smiled and said, "It's a bit like a story, and then what?"

The corners of the woman's lips tilted slightly, her eyes briefly lost focus, and she recalled: "Then the second prince never forgot it, and was fascinated, thinking that after trying it with the girl named Zhao Xiang'er, he asked for a marriage letter and married this little girl who had a glimpse of it." ”

Ning Chang smiled.

The woman couldn't help laughing: "Miss has never asked about the world, she doesn't know this, the next day the second prince came to challenge, injured many guards outside the palace, and then the young lady crossed her hands on her waist, ran out of it scolding, pointed at the second prince and asked, 'Are you making trouble'?"

The second prince was also stunned, he never thought that the little girl on the side of the shock was the legendary little royal highness who lived in the Qianyu Palace, he immediately stopped his hand, wanting to show his mind, but the young lady didn't say a word, and directly fought angrily. ”

Speaking of this, the woman seemed to be immersed in the memory, and the small hairpin in front of the tip of her nose ignored it, and the flower branch laughed wildly.

Ning Changchang also found it interesting and asked, "And then?"

"What happened then was pretty simple. Originally, it was just the second prince and the young lady fighting alone, but after less than ten moves, all the masters of the second prince's entourage were forced to move together...... I had never seen a young lady like that, she was like lightning through the clouds, so bright and thrilling, that no one could have imagined at the time that it was a little girl of thirteen. ”

In the end, the second prince and his seven accompanying masters were injured and defeated, and in the end, his shadow guard did not hesitate to be exposed, so he stopped the young lady's next shot, and the shadow guard was the personal heirloom sword of the Rongguo Sword Saint, in that battle, the scabbard was smashed by the young lady. ”

"That day, the stone steps in front of the Qianyu Hall were all shattered, and the young lady was half covered in blood, standing there, without the joy of victory, and her face was full of confusion. Then she said something indifferently, and then turned back to the palace, and since then, we have never seen that crazy and stupid wild girl, and occasionally see her, she is also well-dressed, quiet and elegant, just like a real eldest lady. ”

Ning Chang listened quietly and asked, "What did she say?"

......

......

National Teacher's House.

The only few candles lit miserably, the wooden doors, tables and chairs were all dark and square, and the whole room was like a lantern about to be extinguished.

A girl in a white dress sat at a square wooden table, looking at the old man with white temples and plain clothes:

"Teacher, drink the medicine. ”

The corners of the girl's mouth are hooked, and the small yellow flower between her sleeves is quiet but bright.

She handed over a bowl of thick potion.

The old man looked at the medicinal soup and his expression trembled.

"Xiang'er...... Why is that?"

Zhao Xiang'er's expression was calm: "I'm afraid that you will cause trouble, so I have to watch you." ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "I have only been a student of you in my life, how can I harm you?"

Zhao Xiang'er asked, "Twenty days ago, why did you stand by and watch?"

The old man said helplessly: "The general trend is like this, what can the old man do?"

"It's the general trend again!" Zhao Xiang'er sneered: "Without my mother, you can't become a national teacher in your life, you do this rebellious thing, and you don't repent at this moment?"

The old man shook his head: "After all, I am the national teacher of Zhao Guo, and I inherit the fortune of Zhao Guoguo, I naturally want to save my mother, but I must not watch Zhao Guoguozuo break down!"

Zhao Xiang'er said: "It's almost broken." ”

The old man slapped the table abruptly and said angrily, "If it weren't for that incident three years ago, why would Zhao Guo be in the current situation?"

Three years ago, Zhao Xiang'er smashed the scabbard of the Rongguo sword with one enemy and eight enemies, and even broke the Dao heart of the second prince of Rongguo.

After that, the two kingdoms of Rong and Zhao broke up, and Jin took the opportunity to go to war with Zhao.

"You ruined Zhao Guo!" the old man's fists trembled.

Zhao Xiang'er shook her head lightly: "You will never understand that the Zhao State with her mother is the Zhao State, otherwise when the emperor died ten years ago, Zhao would have perished." ”

She stood up, her posture standing tall and outstanding, she looked at the old man with an angry face, and smiled faintly:

"I am ashamed of you after all, but if I go back to three years ago, I would still do that. ”

When the old man became a national teacher, it was equivalent to taking over the national fortune of Zhao State, and in just three years, a high-spirited middle-aged man became an old man with half-white hair.

How can he not hate?

"Why?" he asked in a trembling voice, "Do you think you can kill all those who oppose you, as well as the spies and assassins of the Jin Kingdom?" What's more, as far as I know, you are also seriously injured now!"

Zhao Xiang'er shook her head slightly, but her eyes became brighter and brighter:

"Three years ago, if I had received that marriage letter, I might have been able to change the peace of Zhao for more than ten years, but that was meaningless, and I didn't like it. Sir, you inherited the fortune of Zhao State, don't you know what Zhao State is dragging forward? A hundred years ago, although Zhao State promised to establish a country with this immortal, it was going to be eaten up after all......

The old man looked at her in astonishment, listened to her words slowly, and then figured it out little by little, but the more he understood, the more shocked he became:

"Xiang'er...... What the hell are you going to do?!"

Zhao Xiang'er restrained her killing intent and smiled softly, "Teacher, drink medicine, you and I will not kill ......you after all."

She paused, her expression was in a trance, and her voice was as soft as a sigh: "I watched the sunset at Your Highness, why do you bother me?"

I watched the sunset at Your Highness, why bothered me?

This was her question in front of the Qianyu Palace three years ago, and no one answered at that time, only the blood remnant seemed to answer.

Since then, she has been revered as Her Highness.

Now the Qianyu Hall has been burned to ruins.

She ignores the affairs of the world, but the affairs of the world always bother her.

"I hope that Mr. will not be like them. ”

She made a gesture of invitation to the old man.

In the flickering lamp, the old man trembled and picked up the medicine bowl, stared for a moment, sighed, and drank it all.

It was the medicine that sealed the spiritual sea, and after drinking it, he was powerless to interfere in the future.

......

......

"I'm watching the sunset at Your Highness, huh...... Your young lady is indeed extraordinary, but what happened later?"

"Then, twenty days ago, everyone surrounded the Qianyu Palace in the name of crusading against the demon girl, and the young lady was also intercepted and killed on the way back to Beijing, and it is said that there was also the third assassin in the Jin Kingdom, but fortunately, the young lady finally returned. ”

"What is the task given to you by your young lady?" Ning Changjiu continued.

"That's all I can say. The woman's expression was sharp: "Miss and Niangniang are the people I respect the most in my life, I will never betray Miss, you don't have to take my words." ”

Ning Chang said, "You have to answer me." ”

The woman smiled: "You little Taoist priest is really unreasonable, why should I answer you?"

Ning Chang said: "Because your array has not been set up yet." ”

The woman's pupils shrank suddenly, and the hand that was hiding under the brocade and secretly paddling the formation couldn't help but stagnate, she stared at Ning Changjiu coldly, "Who are you?"

Ning Jiu didn't answer, and continued to ask, "Why did you kill me?"

The woman sneered: "If the master doesn't say it, the subordinates should also do things cleanly, right, Xiaodao Chief?"

Ning Changjiu nodded: "There is some truth. ”

The woman was curious: "You know it, why don't you stop it." ”

Ning Chang said: "Let me see your formation, I won't disturb you." ”

How dare this man be so arrogant......

The woman's expression was shocked, she had a sense of absurdity, and sneered, but the movements in her hands did not stop for a moment.

Since you gave me a chance, then don't blame me.

The spiritual power surging between her fingers, the formation was only the last stroke, the woman corrected her thoughts, and between the spiritual power infusion, a stroke fell.

The woman's back was already soaked, but her body was finally relaxed and very happy.

The formation drawn by stumbling between thrilling stumbles, the last stroke is so hearty,

Under the floor in the room, there seemed to be a bright light seeping out, the light was extremely fine and fast, like a knife cutting through, with Ning Chang as the center of the circle, it lit up in an instant, and a complex and beautiful small array appeared in the room.

She is confident that this is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive formation, unless she can find the eye of the formation, otherwise even if the witch master is in person, she will not be able to escape in a short time, whether it is negotiation or killing at this time, she is absolutely active.

At the same time, the girl's cry for help sounded faintly outside the window.

It was Ning Xiaoling's voice.

It was also done over there.

"Show your sincerity or die. ”

She's never going to drag mud and water.
