Chapter 2 The Traveler
Wu Ling froze in place, "Something to do with me?"
In desperation, Wu Ling had no choice but to hand over Wu Xiangyang to the housekeeper.
Wu Sha said: "You talk to Qilin!"
Wu Xuance's words were obviously said to Wu Xuance, and he left the hall with a single sentence.
Wu Ling looked at the door, Wu Shatter's back was as lonely as ever. Regarding the disagreement between Wu Xuan and Wu Xuance, Wu Ling has also heard some things from others.
Before he was born, his father had left the Martial Prince's Mansion for a trip.
That's three years.
After coming back, the two quarreled, and after that, his father stayed in the back mountain and never came out again.
Wu Ling also heard that when his father was young, he was known as the most talented genius in the Wuwang Mansion for thousands of years, and was pinned on by his grandfather Wu Wu Xuance.
"I don't know what my father has experienced in the three years he has been out!"
Wu Ling was curious.
Now Wu Sha, who is accompanied by wine all day long, can't match a genius, let alone the appearance of a wishful man in the eyes of a woman.
Wu Ling doesn't know how much people have to go through before a person who everyone has great admiration and high hopes will become a taciturn drunkard who never leaves his hand.
A thought suddenly appeared in Wu Ling's mind, "Could it be that Dad, you have also climbed the Inverted Hanging Mountain?"
Wu Xuance withdrew his gaze from the door before Wu Ling and said, "Hongyi, how are your family doing?"
Wu Ling came back to his senses and said, "Everything is as usual. ”
Wu Xuance sighed, hesitated, and said, "Do you know why I left you behind?"
Wu Ling shook his head, "I don't know in red clothes!"
Wu Xuance looked at his grandson and said solemnly: "Zhao Fengya is the emperor!"
Wu Ling was shocked in place.
Who Zhao Fengya is, Wuling knows better than anyone else.
Because that's his fiancée.
The Zhao family of Zhao is in Zhao State, and its status is like that of King Wu's Mansion to Wu State. Since the two families got married a hundred years ago, they have been friends for generations, and each generation has a marriage contract.
Two years ago, the head of the Zhao family came to King Wu's Mansion to discuss marriage. When I was in the study hall, I happened to fall in love with Wuling at a glance.
So Wuling became a marriage between two families, and the Wuwang Mansion was married.
And the object of the marriage contract is Zhao Fengya of the Zhao family.
Wu Xuance spoke again and said: "Zhao Fengya is the emperor, the stakes are definitely visible with your cleverness, we don't have much time to prepare, you go back and discuss it with your parents!"
Wu Ling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Hongyi wants to know Grandpa's opinion!"
Wu Ling's steady performance of not being surprised in the event of an accident made Wu Xuance very pleased.
From the current point of view, in Wuling's generation, only Wuling reluctantly inherited his position.
The three sons of the eldest Wu Cangqiong, all of whom are not broad-minded enough, the three martial arts are willing to be the sun, the heart is pure, and the world is too beautiful, too idealistic, as for the other two mixed eating and waiting for death, it is even more unworthy, and the two of the old four martial arts families are too mediocre, and the same is true of the fifth family, as for those who are young, their children are still in the stage of reading and literacy, and they have not shown very outstanding talents so far.
Wuling's generation is too much worse than the people of the previous generation.
The reason why Wuling is reluctant is because Wuling does not have too good talent in martial arts, and at the same time, Wuling is only a scholar after all, too benevolent.
The samurai have a mission to accomplish.
The master of the Martial Prince's Mansion, in addition to his extraordinary wisdom, also needs to be strong and powerful.
Wu Xuan settled his mind and said with a smile: "Your choice is the choice of the Martial Palace." ”
After getting the answer he wanted, Wu Ling nodded and said, "Got it!
Wu Ling walked out of the main hall alone.
Walking on the way home, Wu Ling's mood was complicated, his fiancée was the emperor, for him, as well as Wuwangfu, he naturally understood.
Wuwangfu has been known as the residence of the second emperor for a long time, except in the early years, Wuwangfu is the residence of the younger brother of the ancestor emperor of Wuguo, more than 600 years of Wuguo, during which for various reasons, there are several people in Wuwangfu, who were put on the throne.
It is precisely because of this title that every person in power in the Martial Kingdom will be wary of the Martial Palace.
Not to mention that the people are thriving now, especially the Wuwang Mansion of his father's generation, which is a very good Wuwang Mansion with a thin number of people in decline a hundred years ago, and the Wu Kingdom does not want it to marry with the authorities of other countries.
Although the Wu Kingdom is now in the first echelon among the thirteen countries of Kyushu, it is also worried that the Wu Wangfu will unite with other countries and swallow the Wu Kingdom.
Not only Wu Guo, except for Zhao Guo, it is estimated that among the thirteen countries, no one will want him to marry Zhao Fengya. Wu was worried that Zhao would join forces with Wu Wangfu, while other countries were worried about Wu uniting with Zhao.
Even within Zhao Guo, it is estimated that there are many people who do not want this marriage to be successful.
The people of Zhao Guo were also afraid that in case Zhao Fengya handed Zhao Guo into his hands.
It can be said that in the thirteen countries of Kyushu, no one will agree to this marriage, and no one wants this marriage to be completed.
Wu Ling laughed at himself, "It seems that I have to thank my fiancée, if it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't be able to become such a big celebrity in my life that affects the relationship between the thirteen countries of Kyushu." ”
Needless to say, the focus of the entire Kyushu Thirteen is definitely on him and Zhao Fengya.
Especially men.
Presumably, the men of the thirteen countries of Kyushu are envious of him now, after all, what every man has fantasized about has happened to him.
Wu Ling chuckled and said to himself, "Could it be true that the female junior holds the gold brick?"
I don't know what to call the husband of the lord of a nation!
And how to call it to be comparable to the beautiful, dignified and majestic title of the queen.
Thinking about this, Wu Ling couldn't help but think a little higher at his fiancée. A woman in her early twenties was able to sit on the throne of Zhao State. Do you have to do a lot of skills to do this?
Wu Ling didn't think he had that ability.
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Ling's heart became worried.
Zhao Guo and Zhao Fengya, other countries in Kyushu can't move, and Wuwangfu is not easy to move, so the best way is to move his Wuling.
As long as he Wuling is dead, there will be nothing left.
"What should I do?"
Wu Ling pondered.
Wu Ling doesn't know much about the family background of the Wu Wangfu, but it is certain that it should not be able to compete with the entire Wu Kingdom.
Wuwangfu wants to keep him, unless he voluntarily gives up his marriage.
But if he gives up the marriage contract, he will definitely offend Zhao Fengya and Zhao Guo. The king of a country is divorced, can the people of Zhao and even the whole Zhao country endure such things? Obviously, if he wants to withdraw from the marriage, it is tantamount to declaring war with a country.
Moreover, if he withdraws from the marriage, how will the people of the thirteen countries of Kyushu laugh at Zhao Fengya?
Looking at it now, the best way is to let Zhao Fengya take the initiative to give up the marriage contract.
However, Wu Ling guessed that Zhao Fengya would not do this.
It's not that he Wuling is thick-skinned, he feels that his talent is unparalleled, and his elegance is peerless, so that Zhao Fengya will not marry him. He and Zhao Fengya have not met so far, and they don't know what the other party looks like or what their temperament is, in this case, no one will be more affectionate than each other, unless they are idiots.
Wu Ling thinks so, because she feels that as an empress, she has her dignity, her mother's marriage, and her domineering spirit.
Thinking about it along the way, Wu Ling only thought of one way.
That is to quietly leave the Martial King's Mansion and then disappear from this world. This will neither drag down his parents and Wuwangfu, nor will it embarrass Zhao Fengya.
As for how to disappear from this world......
Thinking of Wu Xiangyang, who came back today, Wu Ling already had a firm idea in his heart.
He was going to climb the Hanging Mountain.
In addition to solving his own problems, Wu Ling also wanted to know what Wu Xiangyang experienced in the Inverted Hanging Mountain and why he went crazy. Whether he was bullied, or trapped by love, or maybe something else, he had to find out.
Trapped by love, Wuling may not be able to solve it, but if he is bullied......
He wants justice!
When he returned to his house in Houshan, Wu Ling found that Wu Sha and Jiang Minyue were already sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard waiting for him. It's just that unlike before, Wu Sha didn't take the wine jug, and Jiang Minyue put away the long smile on her lips.
The two of them obviously already knew about Zhao Fengya's proclamation as emperor.
Wu Ling looked at the two of them with mixed feelings, and shouted, "Dad!
Wu Sha said straight to the point: "You already know about Zhao Fengya's claim to be the emperor, right?"
Wu Ling nodded.
Wu Sha looked at his son, "What are you going to do?"
Wu Ling hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to say, "I plan to leave the palace and go to climb the Hanging Mountain!"
"What?"
Jiang Minyue stood up in shock when she heard that her son was going to climb the Hanging Mountain.
What is the place of the Inverted Hanging Mountain, Jiang Minyue knows more than ordinary people. It's easy to go up, but it's hard to get down, unless it's to the point of being proud.
And there is a truth beyond the mountain that no one can accept.
With Wuling now unarmed, going to climb the mountain is undoubtedly looking for death.
Jiang Minyue vetoed: "Don't go! It's not that there is no way! Even if we are enemies of the thirteen in Kyushu, what can they do with our family? It's a big deal to kill one by one, and destroy one country at a time." ”
Jiang Minyue's words shocked Wu Ling.
He didn't expect that his mother, who had always been gentle and calm, would also have such a domineering side.
It was Wu Sha, as if he knew that his wife would say such a thing, his expression did not change much, but his tone was affirmative, and he said, "Let him go!"
Jiang Minyue pointed at Wu Sha and scolded: "Wu Sha do you know what you are talking about? You don't have the ability to protect your son, so let your son go to death, is it so difficult for you to be a father? Is it so difficult to pick up a sword? If I were you, I would have slashed the upside-down hanging mountain with a sword, if this is the case, who would dare to touch our son? It is also a genius that is rare in thousands of years, and I think it is a wooden fish pimple that is rare in thousands of years, and it is not enlightened at all. ”
Wu Sha took a sip of wine, lowered his head and did not speak.
Jiang Minyue became angry when she saw Wu Sha's appearance, snatched the wine jug with a slap, and threw it out of the house, "Drink, you know how to drink all day long." ”
Wu Ling patted his mother's shoulder, and said with a serious expression: "Mother, going to climb the Hanging Mountain is a decision I made after careful consideration. Now the entire thirteen countries of Kyushu don't want my marriage contract with Zhao Fengya to come true. Wu Guo is afraid that Wu Wangfu will unite with Zhao State, Zhao State is afraid that she will give me the throne of Zhao State, and other countries are afraid that Wu State will ally with Zhao State. Only when I go to the Inverted Hanging Mountain, the authorities of the thirteen countries of Kyushu will dispel their worries. ”
Jiang Minyue asked rhetorically: "Then have you ever thought that it would take a month for the Wuwang Mansion to go to the Hanging Mountain, take the nearest road, and ride the fastest horse! This road is enough for the people of the Thirteen Kingdoms to kill you thousands of times." ”
Wu Ling couldn't help but be stunned, he was in a hurry on the road, he really hadn't thought about this.
Wu Xuan, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said at this time: "I'll solve the problem of going to the inverted hanging mountain, Qilin, after the sun goes down, come to the Houshan cemetery, and leave tonight." ”
Wu Sha got up and went out the door, picked up the wine jug outside the door, and walked back to the mountain.
Looking at Wuling, who had already made up her mind, Jiang Minyue knew that she couldn't change the result, so she didn't insist on stopping it.
Going out and changing the world is their family's mission.
Her husband failed, so the offspring of their family have to work hard for it. Even if Wuling has no plans to go to the Inverted Hanging Mountain now, when Wuling practices his sword and has a child, he must go to the Inverted Hanging Mountain.
This is fate.
It is destiny and mission.
Who called him the son of Wu Sha.
Jiang Minyue sighed helplessly, sat on the chair like a deflated, and had to blame herself, "If I knew earlier, I wouldn't agree to this marriage!"
The marriage between Wuling and Zhao Fengya was successful, all because of her.
A long time ago, she and her husband went to Zhao Kingdom, and a little girl bumped into them and called her mother.
Jiang Minyue, who only has a son and no daughter, fell in love with the little girl who called her mother at a glance.
This little girl is Zhao Fengya.
Two years ago, the Zhao family came to discuss the marriage, knowing that the person the other party had a crush on was Wuling, and the Zhao family's marriage partner was Zhao Fengya, without waiting for Wuling to agree, Jiang Minyue agreed in one bite!
At that time, she still felt that this was a gift from God.
That doesn't seem to be the case now.
If it weren't for this marriage, maybe their family would have been able to live together for a long time.
Wu Ling comforted and said: "Mother, don't worry too much, who doesn't believe it, don't you still believe your son? You see since you were a child, when have I ever let you down?"
Jiang Minyue scolded angrily: "I want to hug my grandson, didn't you say that you won't let me down?"
Wu Ling stiffened his head and said, "I will try to do it as soon as possible!"
"hard!"
Jiang Minyue kicked Wu Ling lightly on the leg, "Go out, remember to do less things that are sorry for elegance, you still have a marriage contract." ”
For her son, Jiang Minyue couldn't be clearer.
Whether it is appearance or temperament, it is unparalleled in the world.
If it weren't for the flower on her right cheek, the most beautiful man in the thirteen countries of Kyushu would be her son.
This is not a boast of every mother saying how good she is in front of outsiders, but an indisputable fact that has been tested by reality. Before the marriage with the Zhao family, there were royal relatives of several other countries who wanted to marry their daughters to her son, and the big families of the Wu Kingdom were not to mention, so many Jiang Minyue couldn't take it.
Wu Ling smiled: "Mother, am I that kind of person?"
"You don't know!"
Jiang Minyue got up and said, "You clean up well, my mother will prepare a few new clothes for you."
After Jiang Minyue left, Wu Ling was not in a hurry to pack his things, but planned to go and see Wu Xiangyang first.
When Wu Ling saw Wu Xiangyang again, he had already changed his outfit, no longer the beggar appearance, but also not the sunny boy in Wu Ling's impression.
The children and teenagers who used to grow grass and warblers fly willows seem to be gone.
Wu Xiangyang was at the door of the house, sitting on the threshold against the door frame, his eyes were foggy, and he kept babbling words that outsiders couldn't understand.
Wu Ling sat next to him as he did when he was a child.
In Wu Xiangyang's fragmented words, Wu Ling heard a sentence clearly.
"Little Qilin, you have to read more!"
The entire Wuwang Mansion, as far as his father and the people in front of him are concerned, they will call him Little Qilin.
Both of them wanted him to become the Qilin of the Martial Prince's Mansion.
Wu Ling tilted his head and tried to control his emotions, but the eye-catching scar on Wu Xiangyang's face was like a sharp knife stuck in Wu Ling's heart.
Wu Ling took a deep breath, resolutely stood up, and then turned to the west.
He looked at the position of the inverted hanging mountain with a chill in his eyes.
If nothing else, two months later, three months, he will be standing at the foot of that mountain.
