Qingchuan History

Chapter 797 Kind Words
It can be regarded as a thorough explanation of Suoning's change of attitude towards Chunfeng after his long service.

The night wind became milder as the riding speed slowed down.The formation of the surrounding guards is still stable, but the guards are scattered more and more in compliance with the Queen's order, and it is hard to hear a confession in this dark night.

But the whole confession contained too much information, Ruan Xueyin listened to it in silence, and remained silent for several miles.

She combed through all the information in her mind, and connected the clues that came to mind in time.

Then take a moment to sort them, weigh them logically, and decide which one to start with.

"The promise you made with her is only temporarily broken." After a long while, she spoke slowly.

The following conversation may be as important as the other party's self-report, and perhaps more important. After she finished speaking, she ordered the guards to stop and rest.

The guards knew that the empress and Mr. Shen had something to say, so they maintained their formation and stationed their horses, but spread out more widely, patrolling around to be on guard.Hu Leibo and Ruan Xueyin's car stood side by side - it was a red-brown tall horse, which looked like Ben Xiao at first glance, it was carefully selected by Gu Xinglang, and it was called Chimeng.

It was originally in harmony with the word Benxiao, and there was no dream sign when it was named.

It is quite disturbing to be called now, but both of them have no intention of changing their names, and they use an understatement to show a certain fearlessness.

In the deep silence of the winter night, the two horses stopped under a tall neem tree.This tree blooms purple flowers in spring and summer, and bears green fruits in autumn and winter. At this moment, clusters of fruits can be seen hanging from high places, painted green by the moonlight.

Ruan Xueyin looked up for a while.

Actually waiting for the other party to reply.

Shen Ji didn't return.

Ruan Xueyin then skipped the question of pure wind, looked at the huge crown of the neem tree and said again: "neem, the flowers, leaves, fruits, and root bark can all be used as medicine, all of which are bitter and cold in taste, and each has heat-clearing, damp-drying, insect-repelling and soothing properties. Itching, promoting qi and relieving pain, the root bark is poisonous, so extra caution should be taken when using it."

She paused for a moment, then continued,

"For 16 years in Pengxi Mountain, I have been living like this. I have memorized the Pharmacopoeia to the point where I opened my mouth without understanding its meaning. Today, I have done it for 20 years. It is said that Shen Ji is a martial arts genius. He entered Ji at the age of 14 and studied under Li. Uncle, formally practicing martial arts, before that he only knew how to ride and shoot in the mountains, but he was able to catch up with the leader of the Imperial Army in two years, and two years later he emerged and became famous."

Shen Ji remained silent.

"There are always geniuses in this world, but even geniuses have to work hard to bless them. There is no such thing as getting rich without working or working less. Therefore, it is not ten years of hard work, but more than 20 years of hard work. During the period of Bu Zhoushan and others, there was no idleness day and night."

The shadow of the tree whirled in the moonlight, and the other end finally spoke:
"There are capable people in the family, and they do small training. At that time, except for Li Hongjian, the people who entered Buzhou Mountain to deal with the ministers were all young men with shallow knowledge, and they couldn't see the martial arts skills of the ministers. After entering Jidu, they lived in the Uncle Li took charge of Xiangguo's mansion, which was built on the basis of literature, so no flaws have been revealed."

"Just now you said Danqiu. I thought about it, the moment you appeared in the grove, it was indeed different from the past." [1]

It's just that she was arguing with Gu Xinglang and Ruan Zhong about silly things at that time, mainly because of those two arguing, they dragged her in, and the five-flavored vat that the three of them were walking together made people's brains hurt, and it didn't happen at that moment. Much distraction and sudden serious illness.

After she said this, she turned to look at him, the line of the other side's face in the cold white moonlight was particularly resolute, above the resoluteness, there seemed to be a wry smile.

"What I didn't figure out was, since you never contacted Li Hongjian, how could you contact Mrs. Shu? Or, she came looking for you?"

When Ruan Xueyin said this, she had already looked back at the crown of Neem.

Shen turned his head sharply.

"Your Highness, when did you guess?"

"just."

Shen Ji couldn't move, just looked at her like that.In the moonlight, Ruan Xueyin's side face was softer and colder, but her eyes looking up at the canopy were extremely bright.

"Ruan Bi once said that it was not the Xia family who watched the stars and traveled around the four countries for the past 200 years. Otherwise, he would not have been able to keep Xia Yaoni by his side for a long time. Therefore, Mrs. Shu is not actually Xia. In this regard, she had been at the border the year before last. Admitted." She continued. 【2】

"It's not the Xia family of Changle County, but they are good at stargazing and astronomical phenomena. Their people use divination techniques to serve the royal family of the Yin Kingdom and travel all over Qingchuan. This experience sounds familiar." Ruan Xueyin turned her head and met Shen Ji's gaze.
"So, like you, she is a member of your clan who came out of Buzhou Mountain to assist Anatan in the previous generation? She said that her home is in the west of Yanxi, but in fact it is in the west of Qingchuan; and the rhetoric that the fortune tellers in those clans were massacred by the Ruan clan, that story,"

Ruan Xueyin frowned.

That set of stories is clearly related to the whole story of Yuwen's family's existence, it's not like making up; at the border, it's not like a play to say that there is a family feud to avenge.

She deduced all the way, and confronted Shen Ji tonight, until now, the only thing she can't figure out is this.

"Your Highness still has doubts, but just now he insisted that Mrs. Shu is our side." Shen Ji said in a soft voice, neither apprehensive nor relieved.

"If the chessboard is too big, you can't hold too many hands, and it's easy to lose control. So first of all, I don't tend to think that Mrs. Shu is a party on her own." Ruan Xueyin said, "As for the ancestors related to Donggong Medicine Garden, she is the only one left. She survived, it must not be luck, there must be a reason. The hidden, deepest and longest line of Buzhou Mountain fits eighty percent with her, so I am willing to believe that the remaining two points of doubt can be explained. Please sir, explain to me .”

Shen Ji also turned his gaze to the crown of the neem tree.

"This tree blooms purple flowers in spring and summer, and it is very eye-catching when it is foggy. I have been traveling with you for more than ten years. I have passed by more than once, and I am deeply impressed."

That's it.Ruan Xueyin no longer looked at him.

"In the spring and summer of this year, Your Majesty came to the mansion to ask the minister face to face, but the minister did not answer. The queen was also there at that time, and she never—"

"At that time, I had just given birth to a baby, so I didn't want to pay attention to these things for the time being. Many of the evidences were obtained recently, and I didn't know them at the time. Your self-report tonight is also new knowledge and new evidence."

"Then Your Majesty—"

"The speculation about Mrs. Shu is my guess, and I haven't mentioned it to him. I don't know if he thought of it."

Shen Ji was silent for a moment. "Then why does His Highness think that I will answer tonight?"

"First, it was confirmed just now, and I guessed it right; second, you are recovering from your injuries, and you were going to discuss your future with the king in the daytime. Good." Ruan Xueyin sighed softly, "You have chosen a long time ago, Shen Ji. You have made up your mind by using your body as a shield to protect him back to Jidu, so why bother to bind yourself."

"The act of protecting the emperor and returning to the country is a heartfelt act, and it is to follow the mission of our clan."

Ruan Xueyin savored the meaning of these words carefully. "That's why Li Hongjian didn't tell you to kill the king. It was in Danqiu, Madam Shu said something to you. Before we arrived at the grove, she came to see you."

At that time, the Holy King had just collapsed and Qi Wei was attacking Yan. During the process, old alliances and new agreements, and enemies and friends were repeatedly repeated. As the mother of Queen Wei, Mrs. Shu should have freedom of movement. At least it is very easy to go to Danqiu after the war. .

This is also one of the reasons why she picked out Mrs. Shu in the confusion after listening to Shen Ji's self-narration.

"She is a descendant of Anatan. The first Anatan who walked out of Buzhou Mountain 200 years ago was not dressed as a long-bearded alchemist, but perhaps more like a minister. He was an ordinary man."

"It's just like an ordinary man. He first entered the world of mortals, met a beautiful woman on the journey, and left behind his blood." Ruan Xueyin answered casually.

Shen Ji showed a long-lost innocent smile, "You really only need to say the first sentence when you talk to the queen. The king said that the queen knows the autumn of the world when a leaf falls, not because of love."

Gu Xinglang was really different from other courtiers to Shen Ji, he really said everything.Ruan Xueyin laughed, "But I didn't fully guess right. In fact, not only did he keep his blood, but he got married and lived in Yanxi. Mrs. Fang Youshu said that there are several generations of family history that have served Mr. Yin. So in this matter, Mrs. Shu Not lying."

Shen Ji nodded, "The queen guessed it right now."

But Ruan Xueyin didn't intend to continue guessing.Even if it is possible, the questioner should not be smart all the time, being more silent and smart at the right time for traction is the trick to make the other party's dialect endless.

There is little wind in the winter night in the south, the trees under the moonlight, the man and the horse under the trees have been quiet for a long time, just like a still ink painting.

Silence itself is a kind of waiting and urging.Shen Ji sensed it, and spoke again after a while:
"Although he got married, he never forgot his family's fate. Because he was the No.1 descended from the mountain, he had to be a prophet before he acted. Therefore, he saw a lot and did a little. For most of his life, he carefully observed and summarized the situation of the countries and dynasties on this continent. Confirming the destiny of our family can indeed build a more ideal generation."

"Then he, went back?"

"The year he went back was near the end of the year. It was snowing heavily on Buzhou Mountain, and his head was also covered with snow—it wasn't snow, and his hair was white. It had been 30 years since he went down the mountain."

In the past 30 years, the family in Yinxi, founded by an aboriginal from Buzhou Mountain and a woman from the Yin Kingdom, has a full house of children and grandchildren, and many of them have inherited their father's ability to observe the sky.But that aborigine, the original owner of that family, left in his sixtieth year and has not been heard from since.

He came from the mountains and went back to the mountains.When he came back at the end of that year, he talked about the general situation outside the mountain, explained the laws and proposed methods, and firmly believed that the future generations of Anatan would achieve great things as long as they followed his strategy.

It is not an exaggeration to spend 30 years or even longer on such a huge pathfinding journey.He could have concealed the fact that he had a family, but he didn't. Instead, he explained in detail, only where he settled down, and finally confessed his crimes in the cave, facing the wall paintings and the oracle of the ancestors:
In the 30 years outside the mountain, he went deep into the world of mortals, and tried to give up his family's life more than once because he was satisfied with the present.Love is a distraction, ease and ambition, because he prefers to avoid the world and has some ability to watch the sky at night and fool the powerful, he is able to live and feed in this generation, but it does not mean that this generation is reasonable and does not need to be changed.

Fortunately, watching the sky at night and fooling the rich and powerful has also become a stepping stone for him to enter the current situation. Fortunately, after returning this time, he has completed the initial preparations for our family.

He will never go back to Nancy's house again.In this way, I will warn the latecomers that once they leave the mountain, they will cut off their love and desires, and do not start a family unless necessary.

"That's why the beards started from the second generation." Ruan Xueyin listened silently, and spoke at the right time.

"There is no rule that alchemists can't marry wives. But he has traveled to the mainland and has seen a lot. Among the four kingdoms of Taoism, only Buddhism is recognized as not being able to marry wives. But my family can't establish the world as a Buddha's son for this reason. It is suspected of blasphemy. On the other hand, alchemists, although there are no rules, they have traditions, and he has met many in the past 30 years, many of them are alone."

Mrs. Shu's family continued to do astrology for the Yin royal family, and the Anatan of Buzhou Mountain traveled to the mainland to act, and this was a fork in the road, and the two lines parted ways.

"At that time, his family in Yanxi was still thriving and thriving. Didn't your people worry or ask?"

"He refused to say. In fact, our people are upright but not ruthless, but thick and simple, so we know that we must take action to prevent the secret from being leaked, and it may not be in the form of killing. But maybe he is planning for the worst Well, or 30 years at the foot of the mountain, and seeing too many intrigues, his heart is much stronger than that of the people in the mountain. In short, he refused to say, and based on this, he was ashamed of the people and killed himself in front of the mural."
