Chapter 91: A Puppet Story (2)

Seeing the frightened expression on my face, Ling Tian smiled indifferently, "Little brother, don't be afraid, I won't die until this snow stops, enough time for us to finish the wine." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Why?" I asked, in a trembling voice.

Ling Tian smiled and shook his head, "Originally, I left these two jars of wine for myself to drink, but now I let you give half of it, how much you owe me, so if I have something to trust, the little brother won't feel unfair, right?"

"No! No, big brother, I will be able to do it for you!"

Ling Tian pointed to the sandalwood box placed in the corner and said to me, "That box contains nine dolls. What I want to ask you, little brother, is that every three years in the future, one of these dolls will be sent to the palace and handed over to Princess Qingping. ā€

I nodded silently, only to feel terrible in my heart, and only after a while did I ask: "If Princess Qingping asks about you, what should I say?"

Ling Tian's eyes flashed with pity, and he said in an almost gentle tone: "Qingping should be angry with me and say goodbye, but when she sees that puppet, she will definitely forgive me." If she asks you where I am, you tell her that I went to the place we agreed to go when we were children, and she won't ask again. ā€

Although he had a smile on his face when he said this, I could clearly feel the deep sadness in his heart.

"Big brother, is that cup of wine poisonous in Yin Wuya?"

"Heavenly Poison Annihilation-, haha, it really lives up to its reputation!" Ling Tian picked up the wine bowl again, raised his eyebrows and said, "But if there is no good wine in this jar, even if it is the first strange poison in the world, it can't let me Ling Tian die today!"

After speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, but the blood continued to flow down the corners of his lips.

The poison is extinguished!

As soon as I heard these four words, my heart was cold.

I once heard Master mention this kind of poison, and the reason why it is called the world's most strange poison is because it has a peculiar feature -- it is specially used to poison and kill the hidden people.

As everyone knows, the Hidden are a very mysterious race, most of them are beautiful and intelligent, and they have extraordinary talents, and they have many abilities that ordinary people cannot match. In addition, the most obvious difference between the hermits is their hair. Babies of the hermit tribe are as white as snow from the day they are born, and they will not grow black hair until they are two years old, and they will be black as ink for the rest of their lives, and will never turn white again.

These open secrets are the basic knowledge that most people have of the hermits. However, what few people know is that the blood of the hermits is naturally different, which affects their physique to be different from other races, so the hermits can practice many magical martial arts that surpass other races.

The developer of the Heavenly Poison Annihilation is a person who knows the characteristics of the Yin people very well. I don't know how he used, he turned the superiority of the hermits into their fatal wound.

If ordinary people take the poison of heaven, of course, it will not be safe, no matter how it is said, it is a kind of poison, excessive ingestion, it will also be fatal. However, if the dose is not large, it will not be life-threatening, at most it will vomit some blood, and it will be fine as long as you stay in bed for a few days to recuperate.

But if the hermit people take the Heavenly Poison, even if it is just a little bit between their fingernails, they will definitely die. And if this poison is mixed with wine, it is more toxic and attacks faster, and almost no one can drag it out for more than half an hour before dying of exhaustion.

Seeing that blood was still pouring out of Ling Tian's mouth, I could only sit there in a daze, and before I knew it, tears were streaming all over my face.

Ling Tian poured another bowl of wine, looked at me and said, "Little brother, your skills are good, but like someone like Yin Wuya, you still don't want to provoke again." ā€

I nodded, but I couldn't help asking, "Big brother, you are the number one master in the world, but why are you at the mercy of that Yin Wuya?!"

"The number one master in the world?" Ling Tianwu smiled to himself, "But there is one person, I will never be able to defeat!"

"Who is it?"

"Ling Tian. He raised his head and drank the wine, then laughed and said, "So Qingping always laughs at me for not getting along with myself!"

Another burst of snow hitting the window lattices was heard, and the snow was falling heavily.

"I remember the day I first saw Qingping, it was also snowing like this-" Ling Tian looked out the window, his originally extremely clear eyes were a little misty at this time, "I was sitting on the snow on the side of the road and practicing, and the carriage she was riding in drove over. She lifted the curtain and said, 'Little brother, it's cold outside, come to the car.' I looked up at her, her cheeks were red from the cold, but her eyes were full of warm smiles. I shook my head at her, thinking to myself that I would see her again.

Sure enough, just three days later, I saw her again. My father called me and pointed to her and said, 'From now on, Qingping will be your apprentice, and you will be responsible for teaching her some introductory kung fu.' ’

Qingping is very intelligent and a fast learner, but she doesn't want to call me Master, who is three years older than her, but always calls me 'little brother'. I thought that in this life, she would keep calling like this, and we would always be together like this.

But ten years later, she married Hao Xingqi. She wants to help him calm the world and win the splendid country for him. She asked me, 'Little brother, will you leave me?'

I said to her, 'I will never leave you for the rest of my life.'" ’

After several years of hard work and battlefield fighting, she finally gave Hao Xingqi the world. But when the whole world was owned by Hao Xingqi, Qingping also became his property and an ornament in his huge harem.

Today, when I was crowned the king of Zhenbei, when Qingping gave me these dolls that she had sewn with her own hands, she asked me again, 'Little brother, will you leave me?'

I still say, 'I will not leave you for the rest of my life.'"

After listening to my answer, the sadness on her face disappeared, and she still looked at me happily, with a warm smile in her eyes...... Just as we did when we first met more than 10 years ago......"

................................................................................................................................................

By the time I left Zhenbei Wangfu, it was already light and the snow had already stopped.

From the moment I stepped out of the gate, I kept walking, walking through the streets and alleys with few pedestrians, walking past the city gate that had just been opened, and walking past the official roads covered with snow......

When I finally stopped, I was more than 100 miles away from Jingyang City.

Although hungry and cold, I still held the sandalwood box containing the doll tightly in my arms.

Three years later, I returned to Jingyang.

The winter of that year was surprisingly warm, and walking on the crowded street, I remembered that I had walked here with Ling Tian three years ago, when this cold and dark street was empty......

Suddenly, I began to suspect that everything I remembered was just a dream.

So I went to the Zhenbei Wangfu in my memory, trying to confirm that I was not dreaming, but I found that the plaque in front of the mansion had the words "Qingwangfu" written on it.

Even though the sun was scorching, I felt chills all over my body.

Looking around, I finally noticed a wonton stand on the corner. I walked over and asked for a bowl of wontons, and then casually asked the stall owner about the origin of the Qingwang Mansion. Since business was light before dinner, the old stall owner sat down and chatted with me.

He told me that this palace was originally built by the emperor for the newly crowned king Ling Tian of Zhenbei. However, Ling Tian had never lived in this mansion at all, because he did not know what happened on the second day of his reign. As a result, the brand-new palace remained empty until a year ago, when the emperor gave it to King Qing.

When I heard this, I laughed, and thought to myself, how would you know that it was in this palace that Ling Tian and I drank wine all night, talked all night, and told the story of his life......
