Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 157 Royal Prestige
recovery? !
These two words fell heavily into my heart.

A gust of wind blew, and the suspension bridge above my head made a clanging sound, hitting my eardrums, and my brain was buzzing. I was stiff for a while, and then took a deep breath to keep myself from panicking. But when he spoke, his voice trembled uncontrollably.

"You said, Guangfu?"

He Liancheng smiled: "Didn't you just ask, why did I associate those things eight years ago with people from the Nangong family?"

"Ah."

"Let me tell you now, because Nangong also appeared in Guigu eight years ago."

For some reason, I didn't seem surprised when he said that.

Perhaps, in the past many times, I have felt from Nangong's words and deeds that he has seen me before, and he has left some traces in my life that I don't know, especially in the Moon Pavilion that evening , he said "you won't understand" in my ear so deeply and so emphatically, I seem to understand everything.

He carries our memory on his back, but I don't know it.

However, no matter how I guessed, how I guessed, I never guessed this point.

Nangong, appeared in Ghost Valley? !

And what Mr. Guigu posted back then was a dragon and phoenix post, which only invited the princes and daughters of the rulers of various countries. Nangong received this post. What does this prove?
Nangong—a descendant of the royal family? !
When I thought of this, my mind suddenly exploded, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a long time, I heard Heliancheng's voice ringing in my ears, and said in a very cold voice: "I think you have guessed it, if we are not mistaken, Nangong should be a descendant of the royal family, as for which royal family-- "

"Murong..."

I subconsciously said these two words.

And He Liancheng looked at me and didn't refute. Obviously, he and I thought the same thing.

The Murong family, once the overlord of the Central Plains, experienced the division of the north and the south, was replaced by the Southern Dynasty, and then unified the north and the south again, but with the last emperor having no heirs, the Central Plains fell into a state of division again. This royal family, this The surname has disappeared from people's sight for nearly a hundred years.

The only thing that can be remembered by the world is not the title of the former emperor, nor their magnificent achievements, but a woman, and a branch of the Murong family who retired with him.

Mrs. Murong!

I turned my head to look at He Liancheng, he also nodded silently, and said: "If our guess is correct, Nangong, or the Nangong family, should be the descendants of Mrs. Murong's branch."

"It is said that Mrs. Murong and her husband have been living in seclusion in the central region. When the Central Plains was divided into wars, someone did attack them, and they left that place. It is said that after they were exiled to Chu, they were never seen again. People have had a lot of speculation about their whereabouts. Some people think that they have been killed by someone, and some people suspect that they are incognito, changed their surnames, and changed their identities. They are in a relatively safe place. Prosper, re-accumulate your own strength, and look forward to a comeback."

"And some things, maybe you don't know, but in our Xuanwu country, there are many legends about Mrs. Murong. These are all recorded by people from the family of my mother and queen. It also had its own military base in the south of the Yangtze River, and that place was called Huancui Villa."

"Huancui Villa?!"

I am no stranger to these four words!

Although I only heard it once, because it was Nangong, and because he said it under such circumstances, every word was like a knife carved in my heart, and my ears suddenly echoed that evening, I His heavy voice heard outside the hall——

"Nephew would like to invite you back to Huancui Villa and never see her again."

Is Nangong really a descendant of the Murong family? !

I firmly held the rein handed over by Heliancheng. The rough burrs pierced into the palm of my hand, which brought pain, but I didn't feel it at all. What I was facing in front of me was earth-shaking. Everything was overthrown.

But if you think about it carefully, all this is not without trace.

Back then in my room, Nangong saw the poem I had transcribed on the boundary marker of Canhebei. When Mrs. Murong was mentioned, his expression was very strange.

Moreover, the five famous swords are hidden in the hands of the royal families of several allied countries. Only the Moon Soul Sword of the East is not in the hands of the Ling family, but is in his hands. This is a problem in itself.

As for the Nangong family's power in the east and wealth in the world, this is not something an ordinary big family can do. Back then, the Su family, the head of the four major families, was able to do this because of the support of the royal family. Now the Nangong family Only a real royal family can achieve such an influence!

There is also the last sentence Nangong Yu said to Nangong - "I thought that you would be the most likely successor in the past, but I didn't expect that you are more disappointing than anyone else!" Now thinking about it , They have always hoped to make a comeback, and hope to choose one of the younger generation to be the executor of this matter.

As for Nangong, who was so close to the Ling family, possessed peerless martial arts and mastered the Moon Soul Sword, he should be the most likely person to recover the Murong family and ascend to the throne.

If they are purely resisting the imperial court, then their identities are rebels, and of course they will be mobilized and attacked, but if their identities are the descendants of the Murong family, then their uprising is justified and they will restore the former dynasty, and many people may hope that Let's usher in the prosperity of the unification of the Central Plains again.

but--

I suddenly felt something was wrong, if this is the case, then the three princes of the Qinglong Kingdom in Guigu should have seen Nangong, especially later, Ling Shaoyang and Nangong got so close, how could he have no reaction at all?

So, I immediately asked: "If you say so, Ling Shaoyang should have met Nangong there too. It is impossible for him not to guess Nangong's identity. Why are they so unprepared against the Nangong family?"

"No, he hasn't seen Nangong."

"What?" I was taken aback: "Why?"

"Nangong appeared in Ghost Valley on the tenth day of the Dao Discussion. He was alone without any entourage, and kept his face covered. No one has seen his true face, and he hardly talked to anyone."

"Mr. Guigu only called his name - Mizhen on the first day, but it seemed to be a mistake, so in the following days, Mr. Guigu never called his name again."

Yama?

So this is Nangong's name, Nangong Mizhen? !

"I think Mr. Guigu respects Mrs. Murong so much. He knows Nangong's identity, so he sent a dragon and phoenix post to Nangong. At that time, the Nangong family didn't intend to reveal their past in the open. That would bring great threats, so Nangong even though Arrived at Ghost Valley, but has been concealing his true identity."

I nodded. At this time, I also understood why Nangong has never had a name, and even his uncle only called him Nangong.

When Mr. Guigu called him by his name, he must have been heard by Ling Shaoyang and the others, so this name can no longer be used, so he has been simply anonymous all this time, and only uses this surname as his address, even his uncle.

However, if this is the case——

I looked at Helian Cheng with some doubts: "Then why do you know Nangong's identity?"

"Actually, I didn't know it was him at the time, that is, by chance a few days ago, I was sure that Nangong was the boy named Mizhen we saw in Guigu back then."

"what chance?"

"The sword competition in Dongping Palace."

My heart trembled, and I turned my head to look at him, only to see that his eyes were full of light, as if he had returned to the night in Dongping Palace, the peak confrontation between Qingyuan and Yuehun, he said: "A famous sword is a sword!" They are spiritual, they will interact with each other, summon each other, and attract each other. Although the other famous swords are worn by the princes and queens of all countries, they were young eight years ago, and they were afraid of losing, so they did not use the other few swords. Take the sword with you, it's only me."

It was right to think about it, the Xuanwu Kingdom hadn't shown up in the Central Plains for a long time at that time, and this time Helian City went south, it was considered crazy and bold, so naturally it should carry the Qingyuan Sword for self-defense.

"And at that time, I found that the Qingyuan sword had a kind of echo with other swords, and I believed that there was a sword-wielding person in Guigu, and this sword was Moon Soul!"

It turned out to be like this, he judged Nangong's identity through the Moon Soul Sword.

It's no wonder that Nangong was able to judge his existence so easily in Dongping Palace back then. It turned out that they had had a conscious confrontation eight years ago.

I hurriedly asked: "Then, did you fight against each other?"

"No, no."

"why?"

He Liancheng glanced at me, and his gaze suddenly became a little darker. I faintly felt that this incident seemed to be related to me again, so he said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"On that day, something happened to you, Ling Shaoyang, and Nangong."

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky, it was deafening, and I shivered violently.

But this sound was not the sound shaking in my head, but something really made such a sound. He Liancheng's expression changed, and he looked up, only to see that the chain bridge in the middle of the valley suddenly He swayed, and vaguely saw the two figures above running towards this side in a hurry!

A Lang and Luo Muna!

They have also seen us by the river valley, rushing down the sloping hillside, both of them were panting and anxious, as if there was something important.

He Liancheng turned around, waited for them to quickly run up to him, and asked first, "Are you all done?"

"It's done, it's done." A Lang was out of breath and said out of breath: "We have led all the clues to the northwest corner, even if the people from the Qinglong Kingdom came to pursue them, they would definitely take everyone out of here. Troops pointed that way, Sanger's men will definitely stop them, so no problem."

Sure enough, Helian City really thought this way, and they said it in front of me now, obviously, they are not going to give me any chance to choose.

However, their complexions seemed a little strange, especially when they both looked at me with nervous eyes.

He Liancheng also felt it: "What's wrong with you?"

"We have received a message from the border town."

"what news?"

Luo Muna glanced at me and said word by word: "Ling Shaoyang, he's dead."

At this moment, my mind went blank.

There was a buzzing in my ears, the sound of the wind on the grassland, and Heliancheng's subconscious whispers were completely isolated, and I heard a sentence echoing in my ears back and forth——

Ling Shaoyang is dead!

Ling Shaoyang, dead? !
He Liancheng's face also changed, looking at them: "Is the news accurate?"

"There should be no problem. Ling Shaoyu returned to the Zhaoye Palace from the military camp a few days ago. It is said that the political situation is very turbulent now, and the Nangong family originally planned to go south. Only now did they realize that they did not go far at all, but were away from the Zhaoye Palace. Wait in a place not far from Ye, after knowing the news, I have already hurried back."

"Did they do anything?"

"The news has been blocked, and we don't know about it for the time being." A Lang said: "However, the entire Qinglong Kingdom has issued an obituary, and the whole country is fasting and becoming a vegetarian to guard the spirit of Prince Qinglong."

he died?is he really dead?
That's right, I stabbed it in with my own hands. Although I suddenly broke through the door and rushed to Helian City to take it away, I clearly remember the moment I turned around and saw him lying in a pool of blood...

But, did he really die like this?
I killed him?

At this moment, I only felt that my eyes were white, and my body fell down like a puppet with a broken thread.

In the dream, I seemed to hear his hoarse voice again, so hollow, it rang heavily in my ears——

"If the relationship between me and you must end, it can only be my death."

"Otherwise, I won't give up. I will haunt you like a lunatic until the day you die."

……

he died……

Did all the grievances and hatred between me and me, the past that was dusty eight years ago, really end because of his death?
He raped me, and now that he's dead, I should feel the thrill of revenge, shouldn't I?Why is there a place in my heart that I never knew, suddenly became so heavy, it seems that even the soul is about to be crushed?
Why do scenes flash in my mind, all of them are him, but they are completely strange?

Suddenly I couldn't take it anymore, I opened my eyes all of a sudden, but saw a face as pale as a ghost in front of me, those eyes were looking at me.

Mo Yunyi...

She was sitting by my bed, as if she had been watching over me, and she moved a little when she saw me open my eyes, but she was not surprised, and she didn't have the hatred that was on the verge of meeting when she met in the past. , with a void that stretches as far as the eye can see.

"you're awake."

Even her voice became so hollow.

"I have something to ask you."

I slowly propped up my limp body and leaned against the head of the bed, and I heard that her breathing seemed to have taken on the sound of crying. After a long time, I choked up and said, "He, is he really dead?"

This woman used to be a beauty snake in my eyes, but now, her insidiousness is gone, and the fangs of this beauty snake remain on the man who was bitten by her, and they are lost forever.

After an unknown amount of time, I nodded blankly.

"Who killed him?"

"……it's me."

After a moment of death-like silence, Mo Yunyi's face suddenly twitched, as if in extreme pain, and then suddenly smiled, but this kind of smile was full of tearing sorrow.

"You killed him, why did you kill him?"

"..."

"tell me why!"

She grabbed my arm and shook it fiercely, as if she wanted to shake the answer out of my tightly closed mouth, but I bit my lower lip so hard that it almost broke my lip.

At this moment, a "tearing" sound of cloth shattering suddenly came from the ear.

Looking down, it was Mo Yunyi who tore my sleeve suddenly.

My arm, as white as snow, was exposed from the shattered sleeve, and that arm was empty.

At this moment, a hot tear fell down and landed on the place where there was a cinnabar, which made my heart ache.

I will never forget, that night, how I endured the severe pain and the bottomless despair in my heart, and tightly covered Chu Feng's ears, his beast-like panting, and my mournful cry He made a sound, and watched helplessly, that piece of Shougong sand faded away in his eyes...

And the man who brought me all this is dead!
Mo Yunyi looked at me and seemed to understand it all at once.

Then, in the empty room, her hollow laughter sounded——

"Hehe, hehehehe, I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that it was you who killed him in the end."

While she was laughing, she raised her head, but tears flowed out like a flood breaking a bank, and wet her cheeks, she looked so embarrassed and miserable.

"Ling Shaoyang, Ling Shaoyang! Unexpectedly, the woman you have been waiting for all your life is the one who killed you with her own hands!"

This sentence, I seem to be able to feel something, but at this moment, I don't want to know anything, and I don't want to ask anything, I just look up at her, watching her cry crazily.

"Do you know how much he loves you? You don't know, you definitely don't know, you don't even know how much he hates you! All these years, I've been by his side, watching him survive like this, but you, but Not at all."

I really don't know, and knowing now is meaningless.

Just like the woman in front of her, who knows whether she loves or hates that man more?

At this time, the door was pushed open, and He Liancheng came in with a few maids. He glanced at Mo Yunyi, didn't say anything, but turned around and ordered: "Help Madam go back and rest."

"Yes."

A few maids came up, but Mo Yunyi didn't break free. She seemed to have lost all her strength, so she turned and left.

I leaned against the bed, and a figure flashed in front of my eyes. He Liancheng had already walked to the bed and sat down slowly. Thin quilt, covered on top.

There was silence in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, I heard his voice slowly ringing in my ears: "You, stay here."

"..."

I didn't speak, but I knew he understood what my answer was.

Even if something bizarre happened eight years ago, it was too far away for me, as if it happened in a previous life.

How many people will change their present life for the past life?
"Actually, I'm not letting you choose, but telling you how to do it." He said, his voice was still gentle, but his tone had become tough. I looked at him, and I saw him firmly said: "Whoever you answer If you don’t agree, I’ve already brought you here, and of course I won’t let you leave again.”

……

"I just hope that you can accept this fact and stay. It's good for you and whoever you are."

I smiled coldly and looked at him: "Don't you think it's despicable for you to do this?"

He looked at me, not angry at all, instead he was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Do you know what is the most despicable thing I have done in my life?"

"..."

"It was I who knew that it would be dangerous for you to go back, but I didn't take you away by force; I knew Ling Shaoyang would not let you go, but I still sent Mo Yunyi out first; my despicable heart was a fluke, and I let you fall into in such a predicament.”

Heartbroken, I looked up at him.

At the beginning, he was the one who said that all this was my own choice, and I should bear it. Why did he say that now?

Heliancheng, what kind of person are you? !
He looked at me, was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "Xingsi, I don't want you anymore, and you will not belong to anyone. I just hope you understand that you are suffering too much in that place. If you go back, you will not be able to bear the memories. You should also know that you can no longer face Ling Chufeng, so what else is there for you?"

This sentence pierced into my heart at once.

Indeed, what he said is correct. When the knife stabbed into Ling Shaoyang's chest, I was indeed desperate. I was raped by him, and I had no face to see Chu Feng again. Now, he died in my hands. Chu and I There was originally a gully between the winds, but now, it has become a complete rupture.

"Stay."

His voice rang in his ears again, persuasive.

I lowered my head and thought for a long time, then looked up at him: "Heliancheng, you didn't give me a choice, you just asked me to accept the fact, right?"

He nodded.

"If I agree to stay, can you promise me one condition?"

His eyes flickered: "What conditions?"

I took a deep breath, looked up into his eyes, and said word by word:

"Shangzhu."

Two days later, I stood by the window and slowly opened the window.

As soon as the window was opened, the noisy sound from outside immediately came to my ears. When I looked down, I found that Xuanwu Palace, no, not only Xuanwu Palace, but all the people in this oasis were busy.

All the people brought large bundles of firewood, some wine and meat from their homes, and they all headed in one direction, which is the north of this oasis. ocean.

What are they doing?
I was wondering, there was a knock on the door behind me, I didn't look back, the door was pushed open.

Helian City, of course it is him, every house and every palace here belongs to him, and he knocked on the door just to show his respect for me.

I turned around and found that the clothes he was wearing today were a little strange. It was no longer the simple gown he usually wears, but a gorgeous black gown with strange patterns embroidered with gold thread. Looking carefully, It's the black tortoise and the coiled snake entangled together - Xuanwu!
Obviously, this is not a casual dress, it should be regarded as a grand dress, why would you wear such a dress today?

I looked at him with some doubts, and his face seemed to be different from the past, with a charming brilliance, he slowly walked in front of me: "I have something for you."

At this moment, my breath was suffocated.

I saw him reach out and take out a small kit from his pocket and put it in my hand. I hurriedly took it over and opened it for a look, and two black-red beads rolled out of it, with a faint luster. The tip of the nose immediately smelled a strong smell of medicine.

This is--

"Shang Zhuzi, the antidote you want."

My hands were trembling a little, and after a while, I carefully put the pills back into the kit and sealed it again.

He Liancheng has been looking at me in silence, at this moment, he suddenly said: "You, already knew?"

I looked up at him.

"Before you came to the border town, you didn't struggle because at that time you had already sealed yourself off, and you couldn't accept anything from the outside world, but after that, you agreed to come to the grassland with me, probably because of more than just Because I can tell you what happened eight years ago, because of Shang Zhuzi, right?"

I looked at him without opening my mouth.

But I think he knows, I acquiesced.

In fact, I don't know what Shangzhu is or where I can get it. The first time I saw these three characters was on a piece of plain silk.

This piece of Sujuan was placed under Chu Feng's pillow in the Yanfu Hall. When I returned to him that day and hugged him to sleep, I saw this piece of plain silk with the prescription written on it at a glance.

And I knew at a glance that it was left by Nangong Yu.

At that time, I was just stunned. I didn't expect that he would really give me the antidote formula, and I didn't expect that there was only a medicine that I had never heard of on the prescription-Shang Zhuzi. What I didn't expect was that he was here. Zhang Sujuan told me that Shangzhuzi can also heal Nangong and restore his martial arts.

Regarding this point, I am more convinced than that the antidote can cure Chu Feng. After all, Nangong is his relative, and of course he will not use this matter to deceive me.

At that time, I also thought about going to Ling Shaoyang immediately, but when I thought of Guan Guan by his side, I felt that I didn't need to be so indifferent, so I decided to go to him the next day.

But he didn't expect—that night, everything changed.

When I was robbed by Helian City just now, I had indeed sealed myself off, as if my soul no longer existed in this broken body, and everything was indifferent.

However, in the border town, when I heard Alang call him "Shangyang King", my heart moved.

In the Central Plains, there has never been a place name with the word "Shang", and I almost immediately thought that maybe Shang beads might be found in Xuanwu Kingdom.

And after coming to Xuanwu, when I knew that Xiao Wanting was actually from the queen family of Xuanwu Kingdom, and the poison that led to the opportunity came from Xuanwu, then I can be sure that the antidote to the poison accumulated in Chu Feng's body can only be found in Xuanwu Kingdom.

It is this Shangzhu!
Nangong Yu didn't lie to me.

Now that I got these two antidotes, an almost unfamiliar ecstasy surged in my heart, and my fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

"Then when can I bring these things to them?"

Seeing my anxious look, Heliancheng's originally radiant eyes dimmed a little at this moment. He thought for a while and said to me: "Don't worry about it today. Today is a special day for me. I hope you can focus on nothing else. stay with me, okay?"

"A special day?"

I looked at him suspiciously, those snake eyes were shining with excitement at the moment, which made the whole handsome face more radiant, and I looked at the gorgeous robe on his body, as if I could already understand something.

I thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay."

I put away the kit, and then followed him out of the side hall. There was already a full suit outside, waiting for us.
