little turtle in pocket

Chapter 68

Ninety-seven AD.

A soft sedan stopped in front of the door, and the accompanying maid stepped forward and raised the embroidered curtain: "Princess, we are here."

Mo Yue stabilized her mind, then slowly got off the sedan chair, looked up and looked around: "What place is this?"

"It's called Lijiazhai. The peach blossoms are so lush, I thought it would be called Peach Blossom Village or something."

The person who answered was embroidered with exquisite golden patterns on his black clothes, and he stood facing Taolin with his hands behind his back, his face was gloomy and thoughtful.

Mo Yue saluted respectfully: "Brother, are you already here?"

King Chu smiled bitterly: "Yes. But I, a coward, don't have the courage to go in!"

Such a bitter self-deprecating, is this still the brother who has always been proud and arrogant?Mo Yue was a little moved: "Brother, let's go in together." She said and took that big hand.

The wind passed through the broken window lattice, and the light blue organdy-wing gauze plackets and webbing fluttered like butterflies, and Mingyan's slim figure seemed to go with the wind at any time.

The expression on her face was firm and unshakable: "Honorable King Liang, General Wu, with your high status, you probably don't know the names of these unknown soldiers. Then let me help you out." Let me introduce you." Light footsteps passed silently in front of the row of prisoners kneeling in the hall, "This is Captain Ma, this is He Er, and this is Hu Xiaohu -------- -"

As the names were reported one by one, Liang Wang's brows became tighter and tighter.Finally, he couldn't help casting a questioning look at Wu Ming, who shook his head slightly with the same surprise and puzzlement in his eyes.

Mingyan stopped beside the last thin young man, putting her hands on his shoulders: "This man, His Majesty King Liang, should you have some impression?"

The young man's complexion is fair, and his eyebrows are handsome with three points of sternness.He was the only prisoner who was not trembling with fright, staring at King Liang closely, with only hatred in his eyes but no fear.

Cheng Shen's heart shuddered. How familiar is this feeling?

"I've seen this kid before. What's his name?"

Mingyan laughed loudly: "Poor Hongxiao! King Liang uses you as a substitute for Wennuo, and he can't even remember your name!"

Wu Ming stood up slowly, his face pale: "You mean, all these people have been hurt by King Liang or me?"

"One of the common problems of great people is that they regard small supporting roles as tools and backgrounds, but they often forget that they are also human beings with emotional needs, and relatives who grieve for them and want to avenge them." Mingyan looked at her face The two powerful men commented coldly, "Captain Ma's father, He Er's elder brother, and Hu Xiaohu's uncle all died at the hands of you two. Yes, they are not What kind of good people are either snobbish or greedy, but they are not worthy of capital punishment! How can you make their family members willing? What's more, innocent children like Hong Xiao who are somehow involved!"

Cheng Shen clenched his fists, feeling the cold sweat on his palms, and opened his mouth, only to find that even his tongue was numb: "But why are you targeting Xiao Nuo? If you want revenge, come at me!"

Ming Yan showed a smug smile: "I said a long time ago, one day, you will pay the price for insulting our princess! The price is to let you live, but lose your favorite, life is better than death!"

"go to hell!"

"No, Your Majesty!"

Two voices came from different directions in the room, a figure rushed up to block Ming Yan, Cheng Shen's sword couldn't hold back, it was about to stab the man, and was slashed on the wrist by General Wu, The tip of the sword landed on the ground, and there was a "ding", splashing sparks on the blue brick floor.

Caught off guard, Zi Hao ran over and looked at his sister with a pale face: "Mo Yue, are you dying? This is too dangerous!"

The person who made the dangerous move was very calm, turned around slowly, looked at Mingyan: "Why are you so stupid?"

The girl who had been scolding Fang Qiu for her composure suddenly burst into tears: "Princess, Mingyan is the daughter of a criminal minister. If the princess hadn't interceded back then, Mingyan would have died in a dirty corner----" She Turning his head suddenly, anger burst out of his eyes, "How can I let the person who hurt you and Xiaoquan continue to be happy!"

As if struck by lightning, Cheng Shen immediately stayed where he was, tongue-tied and unable to move.

Mo Yue was also shaken, thinking of her young son who died young, her voice choked up: "Why bother, Mingyan, why are you doing this? No matter what you do, it is impossible for Quan'er to come back to life, it's just for nothing. Tired of a girl like you ----"

"Anyway, she's damned!"

Liang Wang woke up from the shock and tried to find another weapon, but was stopped by Wu Ming: "Calm down, now is not the time to seek revenge!"

A deep voice said coldly: "Your Majesty Liang, have you ever thought that Mingyan handed over the knife that hurt Wen Nuo to you, but in the end, you are the one who actually hurt him!"

"I?"

Cheng Shen suddenly calmed down, and all the past scenes flashed in his heart, so cruelly clear: the shy Cheng Huan in the Hundred Beasts Garden, the decision to return to the Kingdom of Liang in front of the Xuanhe Palace, even if he failed General Wu's three years of affection, he returned The night that was torn apart by frenzy in the Dragon Court, the last lingering lingering on the top of Nasinuo Mountain, and the last glance at the Wenhua Palace at the time of farewell, how much despair, pain, and unavoidable nostalgia are hidden!

At that time, Jin Chengshen, the local king of Liang, only wanted to hurt this seemingly arrogant and indestructible man in front of him, wanted to see him jealous and regretful, wanted him to beg and refuse to leave!

But why did he forget that Wen Nuo, who seems gentle and silent, has an unshakable arrogance inside. If he really has a day to cry and beg for forgiveness, he is no longer him.

So I would rather be separated from my beloved, swallow all the pain silently, and wait for the day when my lover wakes up.

And at the end of the day, he said he had no regrets.

Maybe Ming Yan is right, the most terrible revenge is to keep the enemy alive, but lose the love you love, life is worse than death!

King Liang's consciousness finally came back to him, and he saw the chaos in front of him: Wu Ming was summoning his followers, and King Chu, who had just spoken out the truth, followed him closely, not knowing whether he was helping or adding to the chaos.

But I don't know where to go.

The sword, which King Liang had tried to use to kill Mingyan, was stuck in the girl's chest.Mo Yue hugged the dying girl in her arms, crying until her heart broke.

Mingyan's hand was still tightly gripped on the hilt of the sword.Apparently, she was the one who picked up the sword on the ground when everyone was unprepared—it was so bloody that people couldn't bear to pursue her for anything.

This is a nightmare, right?Cheng Shen looked around slowly, trying to find evidence that he was in an illusion.Maybe, when I wake up from a dream, I will find myself still in the garden of beasts left by the head of the corridor, with the cherished young man lying beside him, and Cheng Shen vows that he will never be lost in jealousy again, never again. It will hurt this boy every single iota.

With a "plop", the fiery red fox jumped into the stream, mingled with the golden sand cat, and the water splashed everywhere.

The young priest rested his cheeks and sighed faintly: "I said I would walk very slowly, but you didn't come to chase me, so I had no choice but to walk back."

Kexu approached cautiously, and sat down on the bluestone beside him: "It's really you, first I thought Captain Zhao and the others were coaxing me."

The little Taoist also squinted at Kexu: "Actually, you want to come to me, don't you? It's just that you can't get away, right?"

General Xiao Fang sighed and did not speak.

Zheng Zhi suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed General Xiaofang's shoulders: "Come with me, I know you are not the kind of person who is greedy for power and position, what's the point of staying here?"

"However, the Holy Majesty is in grief right now. If I leave again, I'm afraid it will affect the situation—"

"The court? Hmph, the court is bound to be chaotic." The Taoist chief let go and began to think about his own thoughts.

This time I can continue to quit, grabbing Xiao Daochang's arm and shaking it for a while: "What do you mean? Is something going to happen?"

General Xiao Fang's strength was incommensurate with his childish appearance, so that Zheng Zhi almost bit his tongue: "Oh, calm down! Calm down!"

"How can you tell me to be calm!" Ke Xu's temples were full of veins, "Now the situation has become a mess, and the mastermind behind the scenes has been proved to be from Chu. If there is another war between the two countries, the common people will be devastated." Disaster!"

Zheng Zhi smiled slightly: "I don't know how to fight. Once the mastermind dies, it will be settled once and for all. Even if the king of Chu has any ideas, General Wu will suppress him. The chaos I mean means that the king of Liang will ignore the government from then on. The royal families will fight for the throne for a while."

The Xiaodao leader who calmly prophesied is no longer amused, and looks quite fairy-like.Kexu looked up at him, a little dazed: "Did your master tell you this?"

"Let's not talk about that." Zheng Zhi held Ke Xu's hand again, affectionately, "You don't have to get involved here, instead of being caught in the middle, you might as well drop everything and follow me. Wouldn't it be fun to roam the rivers and lakes? huh?"

Kexu bit his lower lip: "At least, let me say goodbye to the Holy One."

"Tomorrow, you will say goodbye tomorrow." Zheng Zhi sat down with his arms around his shoulders, "Stay with me tonight, I miss Master."

Although he didn't understand what the Taoist had to do with missing his master, General Xiao Fang still had a good temper and did not express any objection.
