Chapter 22: The Destruction of the Nation and the Destruction of the Family

In the bronze mirror, everything is illusory, and the truth lies in the hearts of the people.

The country of Suyan, located at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, among the royal family, there is a princess, the skin is better than snow, the eyes are still similar, when looking forward to it, there is an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people take pictures, ashamed of themselves, and makes people not blaspheme, it can really be said that "a flash in the pan can fall into the city, and a beauty can fall into the country".

"Tomorrow is the birthday of the queen's mother, and the princess should dress up beautifully, so that those foreign envoys can see the demeanor of the emperor Suyan. The maid Achu said.

The woman picked up the rouge and smeared it a little on her face, and the person in the mirror was uncontrollable, and flipped through the sheet music called Phoenix Song that was placed next to the mirror and said, "I heard that no one has yet been able to make a suitable dance for this song. ”

Achu replied: "Yes, I heard that this song was made by Mr. Twilight, and no one has surpassed it so far, this phoenix song is the pursuit of the dancing queen of the world!"

The woman put down the sheet music and said slowly, "Tomorrow, please come to Mr. Twilight, and I will realize my dream of being a dancing girl in the world." ”

Yes, this woman is Gu Qingruo, the most noble princess of the country of Suyan. Legend has it that when Gu Qingruo was born, there was a fire phoenix that fell on the palace and circled for three days, which was regarded as an auspicious omen by the people of Suyan.

night

Gu Qingruo sneaked out of the palace with the piano sheet and came to the shore of Dayang Lake, where she and Lin Xiu, the son of the general, often met privately, Gu Qingruo and Lin Xiu were childhood sweethearts, the two fell in love with each other, and today was the day when Lin Xiu came back from the frontier.

"Arro"

Gu Qingruo turned around and saw Lin Xiu coming on a horse in a military uniform, Lin Xiu dismounted, hugged Gu Qingruo into his arms and said, "Ah Ruo, do you know how much I miss you?"

If Gu Qing heard this, tears rained down, Gu Qing didn't miss Lin Xiu, but unfortunately she was a daughter and couldn't go to the battlefield with Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu wiped away the tears on Gu Qingruo's face, held Gu Qingruo's forehead and kissed her, Gu Qingruo shyly got into Lin Xiu's arms.

"Tomorrow is the queen mother's birthday, and I want to dance a dance to dedicate to the queen mother, but I want you to play this song for me. ”

"Okay," Lin Xiu agreed heartily.

Day 2

In the Suqian Palace, he was busy early in the morning to prepare for the queen's birthday.

Inside the Princess's Mansion

"Princess, you are so beautiful today, as the so-called beauty is a city of people, I think the princess is a country of people, General Lin is really blessed. Achu said teasingly.

"Ah Chu, do you think Lin Xiu will marry me?"

"Of course it will, General Lin and the princess are childhood sweethearts, I'm afraid only General Lin can be worthy of the princess in this world. ”

Gu Qingruo was always unsteady in his heart, and felt as if something would happen today, but when he thought about it, the frontier was stable, what would happen, and he was still too worried.

Gu Qingruo looked at the sheet music placed on the dresser, and thought of the talented Mr. Twilight, so he asked Achu, "Will that Mr. Twilight Cloud come?"

"I think I will come, after all, it is a great honor for you to dance for his song today, princess. ”

Gu Qingruo was actually looking forward to meeting this Mr. Duyun in her heart.

The feast begins

All the ministers gave their birthday gifts to the queen, and Lin Xiu and his father came to the palace early in the morning to congratulate the queen on her birthday.

After Gu Qingruo dressed up, he hurried to the banquet, the musicians played a peaceful tune, and the dancers twisted their beautiful lines and danced.

The emperor and empress stood up and toasted the ministers and said: "The country of Suyun has such a grand scene today, and it is inseparable from the ministers, this cup of wine is a tribute to you!"

The ministers got up and said, "It is the minister's duty to serve His Majesty." ”

"Okay, please take a seat, don't be restrained. ”

The atmosphere became lively, and then Gu Qingruo got up and said: "Father, mother, and son-in-law came to study a dance today, and I want to dedicate it to my father and mother." ”

Emperor: "Okay, Ruo'er's dance must be the most beautiful dance in the world." ”

Lin Xiu got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to accompany the princess." ”

The Emperor nodded in agreement.

The sound of the piano sounded slowly, gradually overflowing like a tide, filling every corner of the palace.

She was dressed in a red dance dress, with a feather on her head, a long veil, and a silver ring on her bare feet, dancing to the beat.

She dances gracefully, and the joints of her body are as flexible as a snake, and she can writhe freely.

A shiver passed from the tip of her right finger to her shoulder, and from shoulder to left. The silver ring in her hand also vibrated with it, she was not deliberately pretentious at all, and every movement was natural and smooth, like a white lotus out of the water.

All the ministers were conquered by Gu Qingruo's dancing, and the emperor gave the emperor a look with relief.

There is a man among the musicians, with a face like the moon, and he is very delicate, and this is Mr. Twilight.

Twilight looked at the woman dancing in the pool, as if she had been hit by something, and always felt as if she had seen this woman somewhere, looking at the graceful dance, she inadvertently sighed in her heart: "She is worthy of being the emperor of Suyan, I am afraid that she is the only one in the world who can dance such a beautiful dance." ”

At the end of the song, the dance is over.

All the ministers applauded, and Gu Qingruo didn't forget to flatter Lin Xiu.

After a while, if Gu Qing felt bored with the banquet, he returned to the dormitory early to take a rest.

During the banquet, the emperor and the queen were a little drunk, and at this time, the general Lin Feng rebelled, and the emperor's inner servants and eunuchs should cooperate with the outside, and replaced the forbidden army in the palace with their own people, and wantonly burned and looted in the palace, and the lives were ruined. In an instant, corpses were strewn all over the field, and blood flowed like a river.

Gu Qingruo was woken up by the noise, and kept shouting

"Achu, Achu"

Ah Chu stumbled in and said, "Princess, run, the general has rebelled." After saying that, Achu lost his breath.

Gu Qingruo couldn't believe that he was shouting Achu's name over and over again, listening to the cries and killings outside the door, Gu Qingruo had to believe that all this was true.

Gu Qingruo changed into Achu's clothes and sneaked away, there were corpses all the way, Gu Qingruo was most worried about his father and mother at this time, in fact, Duyun had always been behind Gu Qingruo, he didn't understand why he was so worried about Gu Qingruo, as if something was pulling him in the dark.

When Gu Qingruo arrived, he saw Lin Feng's knife falling and his father and mother falling to the ground, Gu Qingruo shouted sadly: "No...... Father, mother. ”

Gu Qingruo's miserable voice attracted Lin Feng's attention, and Twilight Cloud pulled Gu Qingruo to run, Gu Qingruo broke away from Twilight Cloud's hand and said, "Let go of me, I will accompany my father and queen mother." ”

Seeing that Gu Qingruo was so stubborn, Duyun helplessly pinched Gu Qingruo's face and said: "You have to think about it, if you go at this time, you will definitely die, who will avenge your revenge for destroying the country, who will avenge your father and queen mother, do you want to see that your enemy can't accept the slightest punishment?"

Gu Qingruo was scolded by Duyun and woke up, yes! The revenge of the father and the queen mother could not be avenged, Gu Qingruo knelt in front of Dui Yun and said, "Please benefactor, take me out of here." ”

"Okay, I'll take you away, but only if you cooperate with me. ”

Gu Qingruo nodded with tears in her eyes.

Twilight Cloud pulled Gu Qingruo all the way to run wildly, although they also met a lot of people who stopped them on the way, but Twilight Cloud's martial arts were strong, and these people were not Twilight Cloud's opponents.

Breaking out of the encirclement, Dusk Yun and Gu Qingruo met Lin Xiu when they were about to leave the palace immediately.

"Aruo, are you alright? Don't be afraid, I will protect you, I will protect you with my life, Arnold"

Lin Xiu had never realized that his father would rebel, and when he heard the news, he kept looking for Gu Qingruo, and the fear in his heart was extreme.

Twilight let go of Gu Qingruo's hand, because this was her affair with him, and she was just a bystander.

Gu Qingruo watched Lin Xiu come over step by step, and when he was close to him immediately, Gu Qingruo drew his knife and slashed down, and the knife fell.

A scream

Yes......

Gu Qingruo asked Lin Xiu in a hurry: "Why, you want to destroy my home." It was your father who killed my father and my mother, and I loved you so much, but what about you?

Lin Xiu hugged the stump of the abandoned arm, and kept begging for Gu Qingruo's forgiveness: "Ah Ruo, I'm sorry, I didn't know that my father would rebel, Ah Ruo is sorry......"

At this time, the officers and soldiers who were chasing them came after them, and Lin Xiu stopped in front of Gu Qingruo and said, "Don't come here, if any of you dare to come, I will kill whoever comes." ”

Turning to look at Gu Qingruo, he said in a trembling voice: "Ah Ruo, go quickly, don't look back." ”
