Half a year later.

In a small town in the south of Wu Xianguo, a young man and woman are sitting in a restaurant eating, and diners and passers-by will look at them a few more times, but they seem to have become accustomed to it and do not care.

The clothes on their bodies are all precious materials, obviously not ordinary people can afford to wear, and maybe even only the nobles of the court are qualified to wear such clothes, especially the girl, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is the wedding dress worn by the women of the princes and nobles when they are happy.

But their clothes looked a little dirty, and they had obviously not been changed for a long time.

Some people with rich imagination have already sighed in their hearts: "Alas, it's another pair of hard-working mandarin ducks who ran away from marriage and eloped......"

It seemed to be his habit for the young man to eat quickly, as if he were anxious to do something after eating, and although there was nothing of great importance waiting for him to do, he said to the woman in his wedding dress as he ate, "When you have finished eating, you can go away, and you don't have to follow me any more." ”

The woman smiled softly, "Why, do you hate me so much?" She was originally an extremely beautiful woman, and it was undeniable that most of the passers-by who looked sideways were attracted by her beauty, and this smile made her even more beautiful and moving, and several guests who were eating and peeking next to her almost drooled.

The man also laughed, stopped his chopsticks, looked into the girl's eyes and said, "Such a beautiful beauty accompanies me, if I want to say I hate it, then I must be a nerd." ”

The girl asked rhetorically, "Aren't you?"

"Am I?"

"If you're not a fool, why are you willing to drive me away?" the smile on the girl's face became even stronger, and her delicate face showed a hint of cunning.

"It's not to drive you away," the man put away the smile on his face and said lightly, "It's to let you go." ”

The girl's smile also disappeared, and her face became hesitant.

"Why, won't the princess go back?" asked the man, who had just finished eating, took a few pieces of silver from his body and put them on the table, and took up a broadsword beside him and put it on his back.

"Yun Luochen, I really can't see through you more and more. The woman still sat still, but there was a hint of confusion in her expression, "You know that since you have kidnapped me, my father will not let you go again, so what's the point of letting me go to you?"

"What's the point of taking you? You know in your heart that I can't really kill you. Yun Luochen smiled bitterly.

A complicated look flashed across the woman's face, "Perhaps, you can go back with me." ”

Yun Luochen's figure paused.

"It's not good to go back to Qingqiu Country? You have also heard that it was not my father who killed Gao Fei, Ying Tianjiao was abolished as soon as he returned, and he was put on death row, he must have lied to us that day, you go back with me, I will intercede for you in front of my father, you are a person from Qingqiu Country, and the only descendant of the general, my father will definitely open up to you." ”

Yun Luochen's expression became serious, and he was silent for a long time, but he still shook his head slightly.

The girl's expression immediately became extremely disappointed, her beautiful big eyes did not hide the loneliness of being rejected at all, this pitiful appearance fell in Yun Luochen's eyes and made him feel distracted for a while, and his original firm thoughts were actually slightly shaken.

He could feel the weight of the girl's words just now, in the past half a year, the relationship between them has become very delicate, but he still can't accept it in his heart, after all, she was the fiancée of his brother-in-law, and she is the princess Nangong Yue of Qingqiu Kingdom.

He sighed slightly: "Princess, I can't go back with you, I still have important things to do." ”

"Do you still want to find Gao Fei?" Nangong Yue's voice had a trace of indignation, "He is already dead!" Even Qin Xu, the former imperial prince of the Southern Chu Kingdom, came forward to corroborate and announce Gao Fei's death, why are you obsessed?"

Yun Luochen was silent.

After getting rid of the pursuers, he returned to search for three days and three nights near that road, and then came to Wuxian Kingdom to inquire around to no avail, and he realized that Gao Fei was already more than lucky.

Later, there was news that Gao Fei had died, and it was said that Mr. Qin Xu personally came forward to corroborate it, and with the guarantee of such a highly respected and highly famous figure, Yun Luochen naturally cut off all illusions.

Later, in order to avoid the pursuit of Qingqiu Kingdom, he has been staying in Wuxian Country with Nangong Yue, after all, in the territory of another country, even if Nangong Yu hates him to the core, he will send assassins at most, and it is impossible to use the army at will.

Of course, with the skills of Yun Luochen, coupled with the condition that there is also an important hostage, the skills of these assassins alone cannot pose any threat to him at all.

Maybe Nangong Yu also knew that he couldn't help him after all, although he chased and killed Yun Luochen for several months, he hadn't sent killers over for a long time recently, so Yun Luochen also decided not to keep Nangong Yue by his side anymore.

What he really wants to do now is to go to the Demon Realm Forest, find out the reason for the appearance of those monsters before, and then go to Mu Tianqing to discuss how to deal with it, after all, according to the prophecy that Mu Tianqing said, these monsters will set off a bloody storm in the Great Wilderness, which will be the biggest catastrophe in the history of the Great Wilderness, and he is the key to ending this catastrophe.

For the sake of this important mission, although he has been indignant at Goofy's death, he has to temporarily abandon the idea of revenge.

Despite this, Nangong Yue's words just now still made him feel a little unhappy in his heart.

"My third brother is also your fiancé, I heard before that you originally admired him, but listening to your words, why does it seem that you don't care about his death at all?"

Nangong Yue's eyes immediately became resentful again, "Could it be that in your eyes, I am such a ruthless woman?"

As soon as Yun Luochen's eyes met her complaining eyes, his heart immediately softened, and he immediately avoided her gaze, "That's not what I meant. ”

"You also know that I really wanted to marry him at the beginning, after all, he is the most famous and talented genius in the entire wilderness, and every girl will fantasize about having such a perfect husband......"

Nangong Yue said slowly, her voice soft and sad, "Of course I'm very sad when he dies, but what can I do, he won't come back to life anyway, for those who are still alive, we should cherish the people in front of us, right?" Speaking of this, she raised her head, and her resentful but affectionate eyes once again met Yun Luochen's gaze.

Yun Luochen's heart stirred, and he avoided her eyes again.

"After all, I have never met him, and I have no emotional ties with him, how much more do I have to pay to make up for his death?

Nangong Yue still looked at Yun Luochen intently, and there was a hint of determination in her eyes, as if as long as Yun Luochen said a "yes", she would really die.

Of course Yun Luochen wouldn't do this, he originally just said casually, how did he know that Nangong Yue had such a big reaction, but now he seems to finally believe that the girl in front of him is indeed an infatuated and kind girl.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't blame you, it wasn't your fault in the first place. Yun Luochen said softly, "But I can't keep you by my side anymore, the place I'm going to next is very dangerous, and it won't do you any good to follow me." ”

"You won't continue to stay in Wuxian Country?" Nangong Yue asked curiously.

"No need, it seems that your father has given up chasing me, maybe the few times I sent the assassins back to bring him a message, they have already told your father that I will not be against you. ”

"In that case, before I leave, I want you to accompany me to do one last thing. The sorrow and grievance on Nangong Yue's face just now swept away, and she winked at Yun Luochen slyly.

Yun Luochen couldn't help but sigh that the girl was not only unpredictable, but even her face was so unpredictable, so she had to ask with a wry smile: "What's the matter?"

Nangong Yue turned her head and snorted angrily: "Of course I accompanied Princess Ben to buy a new set of clothes! This set of clothes has been worn for half a year, you don't feel dirty, I'm still dirty!"

Yun Luochen guessed correctly, Nangong Yu had indeed given up sending assassins to hunt him down.

But the reason is other than the one he guessed, there is another, more important reason.

Nangong Yu is no longer good.

This great king, who reigned for more than 50 years and dedicated his life to the kingdom, made Qingqiu Kingdom the most powerful kingdom in the southern part of the Great Wilderness, and his life was finally coming to an end.

When he was dying, he was now lying on the bed in the dormitory, dying. He dismissed all the chamberlains, palace maids, and imperial physicians, leaving only one person to kneel before his bed.

The prince of Qingqiu Kingdom - Nangong Lie.

Nangong Lie knew that his father had left him behind to explain his last words to him, so he knelt there quietly, waiting for his father's final instructions to him.

"Lie'er, come here. The old man's voice was breathless, but it was still clear. Nangong Lie knelt down and moved a few steps forward and stepped forward.

Nangong Yu stretched out his hand and patted the side of the bed, "Sit here." ”

Nangong Lie sat down, leaned down, and put his ear as close to the old man's shriveled lips as possible.

"The new king of the Southern Chu Kingdom, Gao Fei, was killed by the Ying Tian Tribulation. ”

The voice of these words was as small as a fine mosquito, but in Nangong Lie's ears, it seemed to explode like thunder.

At the time of the incident, almost shocked the entire court, the father immediately dismissed Ying Tianjiao without interrogation, and put him on death row, although several ministers wrote to intercede, but the vast majority of courtiers demanded that Ying Tianzheng be executed immediately on charges of treason, who would have thought that the real manipulator behind this series of events was actually the father himself?

"The Ying family has been loyal for generations, and Ying Tianjiao is the best heir of the Ying family in the past century, you have to reuse him well. Nangong Yu continued.

"Father wants his son to release the Ying Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Otherwise, if it's just to save Lonely's false name, he can be killed and never suffer in the future. To cure his sin alone, that is, you want to release him, not only release him, but also overturn the case for him, so that he will be grateful to you and die for you, and you will not hesitate to let the former king bear the historical infamy in order to save him, how dare their Ying family not do their best for you?"

"Father, I'm ......" Nangong Lie's eyes moistened.

"Don't interrupt Lone, Lie'er, you have to remember what Lone said, because Lone can't say it to you a second time. ”

"Yes......" Nangong Lie held back his tears and held back all his words.

"In addition, Gu Zeng poked out some heavenly opportunities from the mouth of the Holy Maiden, although she did not say it explicitly, but in general, Gu had already guessed that the biggest enemy of Qingqiu Country in the future was not Southern Chu, but in the north......"

"To the north, could it be Wuxian Kingdom?"

Nangong Yu took a breath and continued: "Maybe, judging from the current situation, the largest kingdom in the north is only Wuxian Kingdom, as for the Great Wilderness Northern Frontier, there are only some tribes and small vassal states such as Concubine Yu, Kuafu, Ghost Country, and Junzi Kingdom, so there is nothing to worry about." ”

Nangong Lie nodded: "Erchen remembered." ”

Nangong Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, what he didn't know was that the threat from the north that Mu Tianqing said at the beginning was not Wuxian Country, in the northwest of Wuxian Country, on the vast Xuanyuan Hill, there was also a nameless small tribe, in the near future, it would become the strongest opponent of Qingqiu Country to unify the Great Wilderness.

The great wilderness at home is about to usher in a new beginning.
