Chapter 33 The Meaning of the Country
"The villain will never become a hero, I'm just a dog by the master's side!" Su Mo was frightened when he heard this, and the master said this sentence to show that he was wary of his subordinates. Once there is vigilance, life and death are in the master's thoughts.
The grimace looked at the misty mountains in the distance, closed his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and said lightly: "Don't be in this seat forever, too hypocritical and too distant." If there is a benefit that makes your heart move, that moment is your eternity, and I believe you will not hesitate to turn your back on this seat. ”
He raised his head slightly, as if listening to the sound of pine clouds in the distance, "Human nature, it's always so ugly, it's so ugly that it's disgusting!" seemed to be saying to Su Mo, and it seemed to be saying to someone in the distance.
The grimace man glanced back at Su Mo, who was wagging his tail and begging for mercy, and kicked his feet impatiently, and Su Mo, who was holding his leg, was kicked a few feet away.
"Master, the little one has a plan that can make Xia Xuehan never turn over!" Su Mo no longer has the arrogance to guide the country, he is now just a slave who is trying to please his master.
"Say!" The cold word made Su Mo see a glimmer of light in the endless darkness.
Su Mo knelt at the Grimace's feet again, "Master, we can start with Mu Yuhan's little girl, we can ......" He dared to attach to the Grimace Man's ear, and whispered a strategy.
There was no joy in the eyes of the grimace, but he gave a faint "um", and suddenly asked: "I heard that your son seems to like Mu Yuhan very much!"
When Su Mo heard this, he was shocked, almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly said: "Master rest assured, for the master's plan, subordinates and other close relatives can also be abandoned, not to mention a woman, the dog is rude, and the villain will teach him a lesson!"
The Grimace waved him to stop and said, "Do you know why you failed?"
Su Mo replied tremblingly: "It's the subordinates who are useless, and they have failed the high expectations of the master!"
The grimace man stretched out a finger carved like mutton fat and white jade, waved it in front of Su Mo's eyes, and said, "You are useless is just one of the reasons, and the other reason is that you are unwilling!"
"The master is clear, his subordinates are loyal, and they dare not slack off in doing things for the master!" Su Mo's heart seemed to be pinched, and there was a feeling that his life was hanging by a thread in a trance.
"If a person does something with his mind not on it, then he will fail half of the failure, and if he is useless, then he will fail completely. There are some things you don't need to understand...... "The grimace man stretched out his palm and gently caught the sunlight through the sea of clouds, the early morning sun, not so scorching, it seemed to be very warm!
The grimace looked at the round of the sun that jumped out of the churning sea of clouds, blooming with ten thousand golden lights, there was nothing in this heaven and earth that could hide its light and heat, but it was too lonely in the sky where there was no edge.
"There can never be three kings under heaven, and never will be. The royal road is a lonely road, no one can stand side by side with the real king, can only look behind him, or become a pile of bones under his feet, this is the royal road, the lonely royal road...... "Although he murmured softly, there was endless arrogance and domineering in his voice, as if at this moment thousands of miles of rivers and mountains had surrendered to his feet.
Jiuyao Peak gathers the culmination of the world's clouds and mist, and the white vast clouds and mist between the layers of mountains are scattered wantonly, just like the scenery of the eight immortals.
Among the eight peaks, the moon peak is absolutely beautiful and atmospheric, a mountain and a stone reach the hearts of the people, the breath is full of energy, the clouds and mist coil around the top of the mountain, the birds fly and gather, and the pine trees stand up. The end is to look up to the stars and the moon, and to look down on the mountains and rivers.
The palace on the mountain is forested, with red walls and blue tiles, and a beautiful girl in purple sits quietly on a big rock, looking at the endless distance with empty eyes. This girl should have an ethereal and fairy-like temperament, but at the moment, she is a little more confused and hesitant.
If life is only as it first sees, it is only ordinary at that time.
She often sat like this for a day, motionless, until the stars rose and illuminated his eyes. When the stars disappeared and the sun began to relax its dazzling light and shadow, she remained motionless, but at this time, her eyes would reveal an indescribable pain and vicissitudes.
In the past two months, she has become haggard, her eyes have lost the ethereal cunning of the past, and a face that is almost dreamy has been so thin that her cheekbones are exposed.
The sound of unhurried footsteps came from behind him, and it was particularly clear in this empty Lanyue Peak.
"Brother Su, you're here. You don't have to come to see me every day, just leave me here alone. Mu Yuhan's voice was a little wooden, stiff and not at all like the voice of a living person.
An elegant and handsome black-clothed young man stood behind her, staring at her with inky jade-like eyes with interest, just standing quietly, this young man had a temperament that stood out of the dust.
"When it's cold, you can add clothes, but when your heart is cold, you can't cover it anymore. The young man in black smiled lightly, and the corners of his mouth were raised with endless grace and nobility.
Suddenly looking back, I saw that the person who came was not the familiar Su Yan, "Xiao Fan!" A soft cry popped out of Mu Yuhan's pale cherry lips.
"Miss Mu still remembers that she is fortunate in three lives!" Xiao Fan was still elegant and extraordinary, and he waved lightly.
The eyes that had long been devoid of their brightness were only slightly stunned and then returned to their original state, she didn't care who he was, she didn't care how he got here. All of this has nothing to do with her.
Xiao Fan didn't bother her, standing silently behind her, staring at her, that kind of gaze seemed to be a review and judgment, and like a mirror as bright as a needle, as if he wanted to see her in front of him thoroughly, from her heart to her brain, from her present to her future, it seemed that those eyes could see!
But what I saw was a broken heart, dripping with cold blood.
"Do you say that there are ifs in this world? If I hadn't escaped from Mufu, I wouldn't have all this......" Suddenly, Mu Yuhan asked softly, as if he was asking Xiao Fan, and as if he was asking himself.
Xiao Fan walked to her side, raised his eyes to look at the thousands of miles of smoke and clouds in the distance, and said after a long time: "There are no ifs in this world, only consequences and results." ”
Mu Yuhan didn't speak for a long time, as if he was struggling, and as if he was making a choice, "If you did something wrong, can you go back to the beginning?"
"I can go back to the past, but I can't go back to the beginning. Sometimes the cost of making it back is greater than missing out. Gentle words are like the sun of March, bright and warm.
She seemed to have made a difficult decision, facing Xiao Fan for the first time, Mu Ran's eyes were a little more decisive for the first time, and said: "I want to see the truth clearly, see everything behind hypocrisy!"
"Many years ago, my mother told me that there was only one way in the world to avoid being deceived. Xiao Fan said.
"What?"
"Never know the truth!"
"Who are you? It seems that you resemble him!" she did not say the man's name, so he guessed it!
"My surname is Xiao!" Xiao Fan just said these three words with a smile, and then never spoke again.
At this moment, Mu Yuhan's eyes had a strange look, and he said quietly: "Liao Kingdom, Xiao Clan." Hehe, I should have guessed the ...... a long time ago" is a little bleak and a little sad.
The Liao State has always been Yelu in power, Taizu Yelu Hongda died early, and the queen Xiao supported her young son to listen to the government, and his cultural and martial arts, and his ability to govern the country and the country is no less than that of men. During her reign, the Great Xia and Liao soldiers could not afford to fight, the diplomatic relations were stable, the trade exchanges, and the people were happy, so that the two countries reached a prosperous situation.
Since then, the world has called the Xiao family "the Empress Dowager Xiao", and the Xiao family has also developed in Daliao, capable of producing many people, living in important positions in the imperial court, and the surname Xiao has become the second largest surname in Liao.
"Although Yuhan is a declining woman, she also knows that Xia Liao is not separate, and Xiao Gongzi came to Daxia alone, I am afraid that he has other plans. Mu Yuhan regained his original expression after a moment of shock.
"That's right, I'm here for the Eight Music Treasure Box!" Xiao Fan smiled slightly, and his jade-like eyes moved from the endless distance to Mu Yuhan's face.
"Oh, did you find it?" What made Xiao Fan slightly disappointed was that Mu Yuhan's face still didn't show any other looks, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary trivial matter.
Xiao Fan shook his head with a smile and said, "Since you disappeared from your hands, there has been no news." "That smile is so beautiful that people can't find a flaw, but it makes people can't extricate themselves.
"Did he take it?" asked faintly, as if the result of what he said was no longer important.
"Maybe, or maybe not!"
Both of them stopped talking, watching the sunlight shine on the layers of clouds and mist that surrounded the mountain peaks gradually dissipated, and the peaks of the slightly lower peaks could already be faintly seen.
After a long time, Xiao Fan said, "Let me go, get out of here, and give you a new world." ”
"Is there deception, separation, and heartache in that world?" Mu Yuhan didn't look at Xiao Fan, still looking into the distance like a statue, motionless.
"Maybe there is, maybe not!" he said, with a confident look on his face that he was winning.
Mu Yuhan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, and follow you to see this hypocritical and muddy world."
There wasn't much joy on Xiao Fan's face, as if everything that happened was taken for granted.
The clouds and mist of Lanyue Peak gradually dispersed, and the golden sunlight shone on the picturesque rivers and mountains, and everything at the bottom of the mountain was so clear and thorough.
In the summer and June 15 of the 16th year, Emperor Chongming's southern tour ended, and he drove back to Beijing, and the officials along the way sent each other for 30 miles.
On the giant dragon ship, Emperor Chongming sat on a golden chair and played with a colorful glass cup presented by the governor of Jiangnan. This glamorous emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at his somewhat pale sideburns and laughed self-deprecatingly, he is really old!
"Your Majesty, the old slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. Xu Ci bowed and stood aside, looking at the emperor who was no longer in his prime, and asked cautiously.
"Say!"
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the rebellion of the Dongyi King of Liao? King Langya is powerful, if it is ......" Xu Ci squinted at the emperor with an uncertain face, and did not dare to say any more.
"Smack!" The gorgeous colorful glass cup fell to the ground, and an heirloom jade was shattered.
"Xu Ci, you dare to talk about the government as a eunuch, are you tired of being alive?" the emperor didn't take the cup that fell to the ground to heart at all, and said coldly.
Xu Ci's face turned pale in an instant, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is angry, the slave is just thinking about the foundation of the Great Xia Hundred Worlds, and he can't take care of it anymore, his words are rude, and he deserves death!"
