Chapter 174
He didn't speak any more, just let out a long sigh and lay down slowly, leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes, but he couldn't hide the loneliness and helplessness that almost melted into the soul in his clear eyes.

I understood it all at once.

He is the descendant of Mrs. Murong.

The last emperor of the Murong family did not marry for life because of this wife, and the royal family had no offspring, which led to the subsequent division and destruction.The glory of the royal family in the past has been obliterated by history.

If the descendants of Mrs. Murong give up just like that, maybe the descendants can get a piece of peace, but after all, they have the blood of the royal family that once ruled the Central Plains flowing in their bodies, which is the same as I can never give up my feelings for Xuanyuan Kingdom; Liancheng also said that they had been sniped and killed by people before, and I am afraid that this process was also very painful. The feeling of helplessness may have made them realize that in such troubled times, only the power in their hands can survive. is the most important and truest.

Nangong Yu once said that Nangong is the most likely successor of all dynasties, maybe they pinned their hopes of restoring the previous dynasty on him.

But why did he make such a poisonous oath?

Could it be that it was because a woman caused the Murong family to suffer such a catastrophe back then, so they didn't let Nangong fall in love with any woman, and they wanted him to be ruthless and righteous, so that he could become a real king?
Because, as long as you are ruthless, you have no weakness.

Thinking of this, I looked at Nangong's pale and handsome face, and felt a pang of distress.

Nangong, how could he be ruthless, this man who was born affectionate and has a chivalrous heart, how could he do it! ?

"Then, your engagement with Shui Xunyou is also—"

Nangong nodded silently.

That's right, since they are the descendants of the Murong family and shoulder the important task of making a comeback, Nangong's marriage cannot be an ordinary marriage between a man and a woman, and must have the meaning of a political marriage. The Shui family is one of the three major families in the Central Plains One of them, serving as generals in the White Tiger Kingdom for three generations, is not only powerful, but also rich in the world.

The marriage of such two big families will naturally have a huge momentum, and it will be stronger than the state.

What's more, Shui Xunyou - I will think of that woman with a cold temperament and a beautiful appearance. If I really want to find a woman to accompany Nangong, maybe apart from her, I really can't think of a second one who can match her. on him.

pity……

The man in front of me looked at me quietly, and the shadow reflected in those eyes was only me.

But what about me...?
Meeting his clear eyes, I lowered my head subconsciously to avoid his gaze, Nangong seemed to feel something, he didn't speak, just looked at me quietly, that gentle gaze remained the same as before.

The days that followed were really like escaping from the world.

Although this valley is dangerous, the scenery is extremely beautiful. When you open your eyes in the morning, you can hear the melodious chirping of birds. Sitting at the entrance of the cave, you can see the lush greenery and various flowers dotted on the boundless grass, like stars in the sky; from time to time There are deer coming to drink water, and nimble apes can also be seen climbing and leaping on the trees; the stream at the entrance of the cave is still clear and gurgling, and every night is like a lover whispering in my ear, accompanying me to sleep.

What also accompanied me to sleep was the warm body temperature of this man.

Every night, he would fall asleep with his arms around me.

In such a wild place, we don’t have anything to keep warm except a fire, so every night he will gently hug me, wrap his strong arms around my slender waist, and then protect my lower abdomen, that kind of The masculine breath has always surrounded me, with his smell, it is always relaxing and reassuring.

From the shyness at the beginning, I seemed to be able to calm down later.

However, I still dare not fall asleep facing him, but always leave him with a back view, because I don't know what kind of expression I should use to meet his first gaze when he opens his eyes every morning.

And he seemed to have ignored this matter, and after he could walk slowly and freely, he followed me out of the cave.The skills in his hands are still there, he can always catch game easily, catch it back and make a fire to roast the food, the roasted meat with scorched skin is delicious, the spring water is clear, and the wild fruits are sweet, this kind of life is in a trance. Gave a feeling of being in a fairyland.

It seems that everything is far away from us.

But how far can it be?

On this day, I accompanied him for a slow walk in the west again. After walking for a while, he saw that I was a little thirsty, so he went to pick some wild fruits for me, and I stood there alone waiting for him.

Turning around inadvertently, I saw the towering mountain wall, and I could vaguely see the clouds and mist steaming above it.

is where we landed.

Although several days have passed, recalling the thrilling night, I still have lingering fears. Jumping off such a cliff hundreds of feet, who can do it, does not have the belief that he must die in his heart?
Recalling his mood at that moment, my heart trembles a little.

There was a sound of footsteps behind me. Nangong had already walked behind me slowly. Seeing my dazed appearance, he said softly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"Your sword..."

I opened my mouth softly, and I could feel him startled for a moment, and raised his head to look up.

Moon Soul Sword...

I raised my head vigorously, but I could only see the clouds and mists that were hundreds of feet above, and the Moon Soul Sword was inserted into the mountain wall by him and fell all the way. After holding it for so long, could it have been destroyed?Even if it wasn't destroyed, if he let go later, the sword would remain on the mountain wall forever.

Has such an ancient famous sword disappeared from the world?
Compared to my regret, his eyes were clean and clear, without a trace of nostalgia, he said: "Perhaps this is the best home for Moon Soul."

"Don't you feel sorry?"

He smiled faintly, and chanted: "The fate of life should be like this, sometimes mourning and sometimes singing. This is its way, what is there to regret?"

Life should be like this, sometimes mourning and sometimes singing?

This poem is quite new, I looked at him: "Who said this sentence?"

He glanced at me, paused, and said slowly: "Xuanyuan Court."

Xuanyuan Court? !My brother? !
Hearing this name suddenly made me feel caught off guard, as if I was suddenly punched heavily in the chest. He looked at my suddenly pale face and walked over slowly: "Are you okay?"

I shook my head, but didn't know what to say.

Since Ling Shaoyang's death, I have been avoiding to face what happened in Ghost Valley nine years ago, partly because even if I knew about it, I couldn't undo anything, and partly because I didn't want to face the entanglement between me and him nine years ago. It might break my heart even more, but Xuanyuanting——since I had a conversation with Li Jun in Wancheng, I felt faintly in my heart that the death of Prince Xuanyuanting was not that simple.

He died nine years ago. Could it be related to the day Helian City said that we "had an accident"?
Sensing what I was thinking, Nangong said softly: "Your brother, although he is the same mother as you, is quite different. His personality is completely opposite to yours. He is not as strong as you. He is a very peaceful man. Although he is older than you, sometimes he feels as if you are his sister."

"By the way, at that time in Guigu, besides Ling Shaoyang, he was the one who argued most fiercely with you."

That's right, He Liancheng also said back then that Prince Xuanyuan Xuanyuanting held the opposite opinion to me.

Could it be that I had a bad relationship with him at the beginning?
After thinking about it, I asked Nangong directly.

He also seemed to think about it for a while, and frowned slightly: "Not many people know whether your relationship is good or not. After all, we didn't stay in Ghost Valley for a long time, but—"

He hesitated to speak, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, I hurriedly asked: "But what, tell me!"

He glanced at me again, seemed to think about it, and then sighed slowly: "It's been so many years after all, and you're not her anymore, so it's nothing to tell you, Xingsi—" He looked at me My eyes said: "You at the beginning seem to want to replace him."

what? !

My eyes widened in astonishment, and I could hardly believe my ears.

I, want to replace Prince Xuanyuan? !

Back then, I not only discussed the ways of fighting in Guigu, but also showed a strong desire for power. I most wanted to unify the Central Plains, but I also wanted to seize the throne of my brother's crown prince? !
No wonder, no wonder Li Jun treated me so badly in the Wancheng city tower back then. He is the prince's tutor, so naturally he thought of the prince wholeheartedly, but I was the one who wanted to take the throne of the prince.

At this moment, his words suddenly echoed in his ears - "The sins you committed will never be repaid in eternity..."

I suddenly felt a blank in my mind, what did I do?My sin?
Could it be - could it be that Xuanyuanting's death was really related to me? !

Seeing my face turn pale in an instant, Nangong walked over to support me, lowered his head and said softly: "Xing Si, Xing Si, are you alright?"

I was trembling, and I didn't know how long it took before I slowly raised my head and looked at him: "Nangong, tell me, did I attack Xuanyuanting back then in Guigu?"

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized what I meant, and shook his head hastily.

"Don't think wildly."

"..."

"Xuanyuanting left Ghost Valley alive."

"..."

Xuanyuanting left Guigu alive, so I didn't attack him in Guigu?
But why, my heart still can't be calm?
I was hugged by Nangong, my whole body was trembling slightly, like a leaf in the wind and rain, my hands clasped his chest, my fingertips turned white, I don't know how long it took, I raised my head and looked into his eyes : "When did we leave Ghost Valley?"

"...You and your two brothers were the first to leave, on the fourth day of October."

It was the fourth day of October, and when I woke up that year, it was the day after my birthday, October 29th.In other words, Xuanyuan Court did not return to Mengjing, the capital of Xuanyuan Kingdom, alive.

He died on the way back!

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in my mind, and it suddenly became blank, and there was nothing left, only Li Jun's scolding on the Wancheng tower at the beginning echoed in my ears——

The emperor locked you in Wangyun Palace for eight years, but he still couldn't lock your heart...

The sins you have committed will never be repaid in eternity, you don't know the best...

……

Could it be - could it really be me who killed Xuanyuanting on the way back and wanted to replace him, but for some reason, I lost my memory, my father and mother hated my viciousness, but I couldn't give up Because of my blood relationship, I was imprisoned in Wangyun Temple, and my mother was isolated from the world in the Buddhist hall. For eight years, she never looked at me again!
When I think of the me who did such an inhumane thing, I feel that the blood in my whole body is about to freeze, and I curl up in Nangong's arms and tremble.

At this time, a hand slowly stretched out and covered the back of my hand, and the warm warmth slowly spread from there.

I raised my head helplessly, and looked into those clear and firm eyes.

"Xing Si, do you trust me?"

"..."

"Do you believe it?"

He asked stubbornly, although I was completely unconscious, I still nodded, I believe in you, no matter when or where I am, I will believe in you.

"You didn't do those things, Xuanyuan Court will not be killed by you."

"Why?" Why so sure?
He looked at me and said firmly word by word: "Because the woman I like won't do that!"

"..."

I don't know why, it's obviously the simplest sentence, without any evidence, and without any credibility, but at this moment, my trembling heart slowly calmed down, and my whole soul seemed to be integrated into his In the pupils of the eyes, in the clear eyes, there is salvation.

Nangong, always you, make me feel at ease, even in the saddest time, you never give up on me.

I bit my lower lip, holding back the tears that almost fell from my eyes, and slowly stretched out my slender arms, wrapping them around his neck.

"Nangong..."

His body froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect that I would take the initiative to reach out to hug him. After a while, those big warm hands tentatively stretched out and hugged my weak body tightly, tightly. Pasted on his body.

Thank you, thank you...

You are always by my side guarding me, protecting me and giving me the best.

The two hugged like this, and after an unknown amount of time, he whispered in my ear: "Xing Si."

"Ok?"

"Let's get out of here."

I froze for a moment, then slowly backed away a little bit, looking at him——

leave here?

"My injury is almost healed, and I can go on my way. I don't want to stay here forever, you come with me, okay?"

Go with him, this is indeed when I fell off the cliff, I promised him that as long as I was still alive, I would gamble for him once, and these days, I also refuse to think about whether I really want to follow him and give up everything leave.

It's just that, leaving here - I looked up at the towering mountain wall again, not without worrying whether Ling Shaoyu and the others would send someone to look for it, but we have been in this valley for nearly a month, and there is no movement at all. No.

At this time, a faint uneasiness suddenly rose in my heart.

He is the great general of the dynasty; I am the Empress Dowager Yongjia, we have been missing for so long, why is there no one who came to look for it? !
