Chapter 155

That's an interesting story...?
After saying this, he turned around and walked out.

I sat there alone, without speaking, just looking at the bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing lightly, at this moment, the young man next to me suddenly laughed.

"Haha, I've been with him for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen King Shangyang talk so much in one breath."

King Shangyang?Shame?
When I heard this title, my heart skipped a beat.

Seeing that I was silent, he sat next to me again, leaned on the table, and said very familiarly: "Oh, let me tell you, don't think that you misunderstood, in fact, he is not blaming you for his appearance, but I'm angry with myself. Did you know that after he sent Mo Yunyi out of the pass, he rushed back quickly and overnight."

……

"It's just that I didn't expect that he came back late."

……

"Again, have you been bullied in Qinglong Kingdom? Who bullied you? How did they bully you? Beat you? Scold you?"

……

"She was raped."

A cold voice suddenly sounded in the room.

My hand on the table was clenched suddenly, and my nails dug into my palm, and the man in front of me was already stunned, staring at me with wide eyes, then turned his head stiffly, and looked towards the door.

A dark-faced woman stood at the door.

When the man saw her, a subconscious smile appeared on his face, but he looked at me in shock and stammered: "Luomna, what are you talking about, she was—"

"Alang, if you have so much time to chat with people, why don't you prepare some water and dry food for us to go out?"

"Uh, yes. Okay."

Alang seemed to be very afraid of this woman, or maybe he was not afraid, but a kind of willing obedience. He glanced at me and walked out with a complicated expression. Then, this Luo Muna walked over slowly and walked in front of me.

Three days ago, Helian City brought me out of the imperial city.

I went all the way north and came to this border town. I thought he would take me out of the customs directly, but I didn’t expect him to stay here until two of his subordinates came to join us. This made me very puzzled. With his strength , can bring me out of the heavily guarded palace, why wait until the subordinates come down to act together?
And his two subordinates, one male and one female, the male is A Lang who just brought in the meal, and the female is Luo Muna in front of him.

She seems to be his confidant, she is older than A Lang, and her facial features are exquisite and beautiful, but her skin has become rough and dark due to the wind and sand all the year round, but her eyes are very moving, as calm as a lake, only in the face of He When the city is connected, there will be faint ripples inside.

Now, as she looks at me, the lake freezes—

"We're going to leave customs tomorrow, and we still have a long way to go. You should eat and have a good rest."

After saying this bluntly, she went out and closed the door behind her.

Tomorrow, we will leave the customs...

I slowly turned my head and looked out the window at the wind and sand outside.

After leaving the customs, it will be the Xuanwu Kingdom. Maybe Helian City really has all the answers buried in him; maybe——there is my last chance.

Early the next morning, I followed them out of the inn and walked towards the north gate of the border town.

This earth city is not an important military town, nor does it have special geographical significance. The guards have always been light, but today it is a little different.

There are several rows of guards standing on both sides of the mottled red gate, and they are strictly checking the passers-by. It seems that they are checking very carefully, and there is already a long queue in front of them.He Liancheng and A Lang looked at each other without saying a word, A Lang led the horse I was riding and walked up first, while He Lian Cheng led Luo Muna's horse and walked behind, pretending not to know each other.

After queuing for more than half an hour, we were finally checked.

The soldier guarding the city carefully checked the customs clearance documents, asked A Lang a few more questions, then suddenly raised his head and said to me, "Girl, please open the veil for me to see."

He Liancheng looked up at me.

I didn't move, at this moment Alang laughed: "Why, my lord, now you have to look at your appearance when you go out of the city? Are you not allowed to leave the city if you don't look good?"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding soldiers, as well as the people waiting in line for inspection, all burst into laughter.

The young general laughed himself: "No. It's just that we just received an official document to find a woman with a scar on her face."

My hand holding the rein trembled slightly.

Looking for my official documents—it was already sent to the border town on the fourth day?

is it him?

At this time, the young general looked up at me, with a serious expression on his young and childish face, and said politely: "Girl, please open the veil."

I remained silent, neither spoke nor moved.

After a long time, the people around me felt a little strange, and they all looked at me, who was covered in white gauze, and started talking in low voices.

"What's the matter with her? Why isn't she moving?"

"Could she be the one the court wants to arrest?"

"Be careful, maybe they are all desperadoes."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird, and the face of the young guard gradually changed, he stretched out his hand and clenched the saber around his waist, and several other guards also came over at this moment, surrounding us.

But He Liancheng still stood silently behind, without saying a word.

"Girl, why don't you take off your veil, is there something unspeakable?"

"girl……?"

"girl!"

The voices of the guards became heavier and heavier, as if sensing a dangerous hound, they all became vigilant.

A Lang's hand has been quietly retracted into the sleeve, as if he touched something hard, and Luo Muna at the back subconsciously caressed her waist, where a thin leather whip was wrapped——

Swords are on the verge of breaking out!
At this moment, I suddenly spoke——

"This little brother is really joking. I have nothing to hide. It's just that the human heart is sinister and the world is difficult. I don't want to show my true colors. Since the little brother wants to see it, I will obey."

After speaking, I stretched out my fair hand, lowered my head, and gently took off the veil.

Everyone's eyes widened at this moment, looking at a face.

Green eyebrows, eyes as clear as autumn water, ruddy and slightly pursed lips under the upturned bridge of the nose, a smile that is not a smile, with a seductive charm, the white as jade skin is crystal clear in the sun, as if In the painting, there is an immortal, and there is an indescribable beauty in the beauty, which makes people fascinated.

The beauty of someone is as soft as boneless, which makes people unable to give up;

The beauty of someone is as sharp as a knife, making people dare not stare at them;

The beauty of someone, gentle and affectionate, makes people feel like a spring breeze;

The beauty of someone is as cold as ice, which makes people admire thousands of miles;

But no one can tell what this face is like, just like no one can measure how high the sky is and how deep the sea is. I only vaguely heard that Mr. Guigu said something eight years ago——

Beauty, let's go to war.

Just five words, it turns out that the future chaos of the Central Plains has been destined...

We're out.

Two days later, I crossed the Jiehe River and passed the former site of the Xuanwu Kingdom. In a desolate ruined wall, I pitched a tent there and stopped to rest.

After dinner, I boarded a dilapidated high platform and looked towards the south by the moonlight. It was pitch black, and I couldn't see the way when I came here.

I have no way out.

At this moment, a familiar footstep sounded from behind me. I turned my head and saw Helian Cheng walking towards me slowly. His snake eyes became more shrewd in the night, and he stared at my face with burning eyes.

"Why, tear that thing off?"

He whispered: "Don't you want your face to recover?"

Before leaving the customs, Luo Muna sealed my scars with fine sheepskin, and after applying some special potions, my cheeks completely returned to their previous appearance, that is, the face of Xuanyuan Xingsi.

But just now, I have torn off the thin sheepskin from my face, and returned to my ugly and terrifying appearance.

"Ugly is ugly, there is no need to cover up." I said lightly.

"Oh?" He looked at me, his eyes suddenly became very deep, and even his voice was a little strange, he said: "Then if one day, there is a chance for you to recover, would you be willing?"

"..."

Restore the appearance of the past?It's not that I haven't thought about it, I've thought about it for eight years, but now—even this body has been defiled, so what's the point of restoring a face?

I didn't answer him, and turned around to leave.

I just took a step, and he suddenly grabbed my wrist. At this moment, I felt like I was being stabbed by a needle, I waved his hand away, and looked back at him with wide eyes.

Since that night, I've been afraid of being touched, especially in such a dark night.

I even, until now, still see that man's wild beast eyes and his endless torment from time to time...

He looked at me, and seemed to understand something, his face gradually sank and became a little ugly.

After a long while, he said, "I just want to tell you that after three days of walking, we will arrive soon."

I was taken aback - so fast?

"It was you who saved yourself from the first battle and took the initiative to follow us out of the customs. Then I want you to remember—this is your own choice. No matter what happens in the future, you can't do it, and you have no chance to regret it!"

He Liancheng's last sentence, for some reason, made my heart feel a lot heavier.

It seems that there is a faint omen of something.

This night, I didn't sleep very well, and the next morning I got on the horse in a daze, and followed them all the way north. The surrounding scenery has gradually changed. It is no longer an endless grassland, but there are many towering mountains. Mountains and rocks, and stretches of mountains appeared in the distance, blocking our sight.

The most important thing is - the climate is getting cooler gradually.

And on the day when I obviously felt that the weather was getting cooler, Alang and Luo Muna parted ways with us.

The two of them originally rode on their own horses, but A Lang got on Luo Muna's horse. I could clearly see a hint of joy in his eyes. With normal perception, he turned his head to look at Helian City.

"King, let's go."

"Ah."

He Liancheng nodded lightly, and the two of them turned their horses around and galloped towards the northwest.

Looking at this scene, I didn't say anything. He Liancheng looked back at me and didn't say anything. He continued to lead me all the way north. The wind was getting colder and colder. The thick wind cloak can also feel the smell of ice and snow in the air. The further north you go, the heavier the feeling.

After another day of walking, in the evening, the sun was setting, and the earth was covered with a sad orange-red sun, and we also walked to the bottom of the stretching hillside. Looking up, the hillside is not high, but it looks like a mountain in the north. Barriers, blocking our sight, also block many things.

When going uphill, the horse's speed gradually slowed down.

The two of them were so quiet, there was no howling wind, and only the monotonous "de" sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the hillside made it even more unusually quiet.

In such silence, Heliancheng suddenly spoke.

"Aren't you going to ask me?"

"There is nothing to ask."

He looked at me, with a deep smile in his deep eyes, and continued to ride uphill without saying anything.

There was really nothing to ask. When Alang got on Luo Muna's horse, I already understood what they meant.

If the people of Qinglong Kingdom really found out that I was the one who left the customs, and they really chased after me, they must be chasing the traces left by the two people riding together, and Alang and the others headed northwest for this purpose!
No wonder in the border town, He Liancheng had to wait for his two subordinates to come to meet up, and he must have given this order before Zhaoye robbed me. Unexpectedly, he had already reached this point at that time.

This person's thoughts—too meticulous!
He completely cut off the way for me to turn back!

But, for some reason, I was a little worried. Where would Alang and Luo Muna go northwest and lead this road?

I was still thinking in my heart, and there was a very light sound in my ear, as if something iron was hitting, making a clanging sound.

How could there be such a sound on this prairie?

At this time, a smile appeared in He Liancheng's eyes, and he looked back at me: "Here we are."

As soon as the words fell, our horses had jumped up the hillside!
The sight in front of me stunned me.

In the distance is a towering snow-capped mountain, shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, reflecting the bleak light, and under the snow-capped mountain stretching all the way to our eyes is a vast oasis. On the oasis is a green grassland. The trees are shaded, and some roofs can be faintly seen protruding from the inside, like a circle with a point, which is completely different from the buildings in the Central Plains.

A large silver river valley surrounds the entire oasis, flowing towards the east with a clear wave of light. You can vaguely see groups of cattle and sheep on both sides of the valley, scattered there like stars in the sky.

What a magnificent view!

A gust of bitter wind blew by, and there was the sound of clanging metal impacts in my ears. After a closer look, I found that there was a deep and narrow river valley between the oasis and the wasteland under our feet. The river valley was only connected by an iron chain bridge. When the wind blows, there is a clang.

This is the habitat of the Xuanwu people!
I was dumbfounded, but Helian Cheng had already walked over, helped me off the horse, and said, "We've arrived."

He took me across the iron chain bridge and walked into this strange city. The air was full of the smell of ice and snow, cold and clear. The civilians wearing thick fur coats along the way were all respectful when they saw Helian City. Stepping back to the sides, bowing to him and saluting, his expression was solemn and dignified. It could be seen that this King Shangyang was very popular.

This city has a central axis, which is a wide avenue, and at the end of the avenue is a majestic palace, as white as an ice and snow palace, which is jaw-dropping.

I followed him all the way to the main hall of Xuanwu Palace. Unexpectedly, the place was already full of civil and military officials, and all eyes were on me. On the top of the main hall, unlike other countries, there were two A man and a woman sit on the golden throne.

I was secretly startled, I didn't expect Xuanwu Kingdom to be a court of two saints!
He Liancheng first stepped forward and knelt down and said: "My son pays respects to the emperor father and the queen mother."

"Get up." Emperor Xuanwu said, and I realized that his voice was not loud, and his energy seemed a little lacking. He got up and walked down slowly.

This one should be Empress Xiao.

I once heard that the surname of the queens of the Xuanwu Kingdom was Xiao. They were originally nobles during the rule of the Yelu clan. Incomparable.

When I got closer, I could see her face clearly. She should be an outstanding beauty when she was young. Even though there are faint fine lines around her eyes now, her skin is still shiny and her eyes are very charming. She also looked me up and down. His eyes looked a little critical.

When she spoke, the first sentence took me by surprise.

"Is Ling Chufeng dead?"

"What?" I looked at her with wide eyes.

Why did Empress Xiao of Xuanwu Kingdom ask Chu Feng if there was anything between them?

"Aijia asked you what!"

A stern voice sounded, she looked at me and said, "Is he dead, or has he become a living dead?"

My heart was even heavier. Ling Shaoyang blocked the news about Chu Feng and never spread it. Why would she, who is thousands of miles away, know about it?

At this moment, He Liancheng, who had been standing beside me, took a step forward and said, "Mother, Ling Chufeng has turned into a living dead because of the power of the medicine."

"The living dead? Haha..."

Empress Xiao laughed, but her phoenix eyes didn't show the slightest smile: "Interesting, although he hasn't died yet, but he can only lie there and be manipulated by others. It should be more uncomfortable than death."

I looked at her, and something suddenly flashed through my mind——

Empress Xiao -- Xiao --

By the way, Ling Chufeng once fell in love with his father's concubine, wasn't it Xiao Wanting?Empress Xiao in front of me, could it be that they—

At this time, out of the corner of my eyes, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd, and his face also showed an expression of ecstasy. When I turned around, it turned out to be Ling Chuyun, standing among the officials of Xuanwu Kingdom!

At this moment, I suddenly understood.

Xiao Wanting is from Xuanwu Country!
She is a descendant of the queen family of the Xuanwu Kingdom, that is——

At this time, Emperor Xuanwu had already walked down slowly, supported the empress by the shoulder and said, "Wanyu, let's take revenge for your sister's revenge, don't be sad anymore."

It turned out that this is the case!
Now, I finally understand why Chu Feng said that if Ling Chuyun wanted to rebel, he would have rebelled long ago, and he would not wait until today; I also finally understand why he formed an alliance with the Xuanwu Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away, because—— He is Xiao Wanting's son!
He is a descendant of Xuanwu Queen's clan!

At the beginning, the people of Xuanwu Kingdom must have found him, told him his life experience, and then wooed him, including the troops who later committed crimes, they should have been dispatched by Xuanwu Kingdom!

I never thought that I would come into contact with such a truth as soon as I came to Xuanwu Kingdom. My whole body seemed to be drained of blood, and my mind was blank, but at this moment, there was one thing that was extremely clear in my mind Flash past—the poison of seduction comes from Xuanwu!

At this time, Empress Xiao looked back at me, her eyes had already turned into ice, she knew very well the relationship between me and Ling Chufeng, he gave up for me and was backlashed by the medicine, this is the most important thing for Xiao Wanting's family A poisonous thorn.

"This woman is useless to us. Come on, drag it down!"

As soon as the words fell, two warriors walked towards me. My heart sank, and I took a step back subconsciously, my hands were already clenched, but at this moment, He Liancheng stretched out his hand and stopped me behind.

"Cheng'er, what are you doing?"

He Liancheng said sternly: "Mother, you can't. The reason why my ministers brought her out of Zhaoye all the way is because she has done a great thing for us. From now on, our Xuanwu army will go south and dominate the Central Plains. She will be indispensable. If If you kill her now, you will be ridiculed by the world."

"Oh? What can she do?"

He Liancheng looked at my pale face and said in a deep voice, "She killed Ling Shaoyang."
