The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 70
The days after Jinse returned to Nayi Mountain were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.He Ying and the others are only shouldering the responsibility of protecting her, and will always stand far behind her, but there is no one around her to accompany her.

Occasionally, one or two letters sent by Su Li would break the tranquility, but they were like pebbles thrown into a deep pool. After a while, the stagnant water was still stagnant water.

After entering Xuande for eight years, Su Li's letter was broken.

Jinse could probably guess what he was busy with, but there was no news between the mountain and the outside world, and she never knew what happened outside.And because the capital is far away from here, even if some of He Ying and the others go down the mountain occasionally, they hardly receive any news from the capital.

Later, Jinse realized that there are some things, as expected, no news is good news.

In the eighth year of Xuande, in the early summer, Jiangzhou and Taizhou, which had suffered a flood the year before, were hit by heavy rain again. The floods flooded, and a large number of people were displaced.All of a sudden, there were complaints from all over the world, all saying that Qingyue had been suffering from natural disasters for several years, all because the people in power were unjust, so the heavens frequently sent down their heads to show punishment.

In Nayi Mountain, when Jin Se and others got the news of Su Li again, it was already the midsummer of the eighth year of Xuande.

The lack of news from the mountain for a long time has already made He Ying, the most calm among them, unable to hold back, so he went down the mountain to inquire.

Three days later, He Ying returned to the mountain, and immediately gathered in the house with the other three to discuss something. About half an hour later, the four came out again, but they had already carried their respective burdens.

Jinse's house was not far away. When the four of them came out, she was standing quietly at the door of the house, as if she was waiting for them.

He Ying was startled, exchanged glances with the other three, and then stepped forward: "Please forgive me, He Ying and others, we can no longer stay in the mountains to protect the girl."

Jinse stretched out her hand to support the door frame, her face was calm, but her face was slightly pale: "What happened?"

He Ying slightly lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Return to the girl, something happened to the prince."

He has not had any news for a long time, and Jinse is not unprepared to bear some bad news. However, when he heard it at this time, he still couldn't help turning pale. After a long time, Fang asked with difficulty: "Is he... still safe and sound?" ?”

"Yes." He Ying replied, "My subordinates found out the news from the foot of the mountain. After the prince's accident, he was protected by my brother Huijun and left the capital. It's just that we don't know where he is now. The subordinates waited." Thanks to the lord's kindness, He Ying and others have to go down the mountain to find the whereabouts of the lord under such a difficult situation, please forgive me."

When Jinse heard that he was still safe, her heart suddenly relaxed, but when she heard that he didn't know where he was at this moment, she couldn't help but raised her heart again.

After slowly closing her eyes and meditating for a moment, Jinse finally said slowly: "Since he is still safe and sound, he will definitely come up the mountain to find me."

Half a month ago, her three-year filial piety finally expired, and she just waited for him to come to find her according to the agreement between the two. Now that he is still well, Jinse believes that he will definitely come.

He Ying paused, and then said: "Girl, family and country are not comparable to the love of children. If the girl insists on staying on the mountain, He Ying and others will have to go down the mountain by themselves."

Jinse did not stop, and He Ying did not persuade Jinse to go down the mountain with them at all.

Since then, in the vast expanse of mountains and forests, only Jinse was left waiting alone.

Seeing that one month, two months have passed since the date they agreed on... until half a year later, Jin Se still did not hear from Su Li.

She has no way of knowing how the world outside the mountain has undergone tremendous changes, but this year, the world in the mountain has also changed silently.

This year, there was no winter in Nayi Mountain at all, but it suddenly snowed in November. In the following two months, heavy snow continued, covering layers of forests, turning the originally perennial green Several mountains were dyed white.

Because she never thought that there was no winter in this mountain, when Jinse dug out the winter clothes that Lvhe had prepared two years ago, she found that those clothes were either moth-eaten or mildewed and could no longer be worn.

When Jinse thought she would freeze to death in the mountains, one day, a pack of winter clothes appeared outside the door for no reason.

The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and there was no way in and out, but Jinse still found footprints on the snow, and from the direction of the footprints, it can be seen that the person who brought her clothes came from outside the mountain!
Who could it be, braved such a heavy snowstorm, came all the way from the mountains and forests no matter where he could go, and gave her clothes, but didn't show up?

Jinse guessed some of the possibilities, but she was not sure. The only thing she was sure of was that it was definitely not Su Li's doing.

If it was him, he wouldn't fail to show up.But for nearly a year, he has not heard from him at all, but where is he?

Three months later, at the beginning of spring, the snow in the mountains finally melted.

Jinse stayed in the mountain for nine months, and finally stopped waiting for nothing, but set off down the mountain to inquire about Su Li's news.

After three days and two nights, she finally walked out of the big mountain and came to the mountain pass where the "Forbidden Land" plaque used to be erected high, but she was surprised to find that there was an extra person in this previously uninhabited barren land. A small village with more than 100 people gathered here, living in peace and harmony.

Sure enough, the time has passed in the mountains.She hasn't gone down the mountain for more than two years, but she doesn't know that the world has changed so much.

When the people in the village saw her coming from the depths of the mountain, they were all shocked, and they all regarded her as a monster.

Jinse didn't make much effort, so she explained to everyone that she just lived in seclusion in the mountains and never went down the mountain all the year round, so she didn't know the year, so she asked everyone what year it is now.

"You little girl is also bold, you actually live alone in that deep mountain, you don't even know your age." One of the old women said, "This year is the second year of Fengyuan."

Fengyuan two years?Jinse's expression changed instantly.

Why has the reign name of Xuande been changed to Fengyuan?Could it be that Qingyue Jiangshan has changed hands, so the dynasty has changed?
Jinse was only shocked, but there was another kind of fear in her heart, which spread silently to her limbs.

She was so afraid that she didn't even dare to ask who the current emperor was, so she hurried on and arrived at Lorraine County a few days later.

In fact, she didn't know where she was going. She didn't dare to ask who the current emperor was, and she didn't know where Su Li was. This was really a kind of aimless running around, but she always had a feeling in her heart , if I can meet someone I have known before, and then learn from them what happened in the past two years, maybe it will not be so sad.

Lorraine is a bit busier than it was two years ago, but luckily the streets are still familiar.She followed the previous path all the way to the Sheriff's Mansion, thought about it, and told the gatekeeper that she wanted to see Chi Wei, but was told that there was no such person.

After careful questioning, it turned out that the Sheriff of Lorraine had changed to someone else, and he was no longer the former Lord Chi.

"Then, where is the original Sheriff Chi?" Jinse couldn't help but asked again.

"Lord Chi was promoted half a year ago. He entered the capital and became an official at the foot of the emperor. His future is really limitless..." The gatekeeper talked enviously, but Jinse had no interest in listening and said. Thanks, turn around and go.

The unfamiliar yet familiar street leads to a location she once knew. Jinse stood silently on the street for a long time, and finally moved again, slowly walking towards the courtyard that she had only been to once.

The courtyard in the back alley is no longer what it looked like two years ago, but a family of three generations, old and young, lived together, and it was very lively.

In fact, she had already imagined that after such a long time, how could Lingluo still live here?
On a rainy day, Jinse stood alone by the moat, thinking quietly.

The area, which has always been deserted, is a bit strange today, with people constantly coming and going.

Jinse was tired of standing by the river, so she just sat down for half a day, but there was always a continuous stream of pedestrians behind her.

There was a movement in her heart, she thought for a moment, then closed her eyes suddenly, and fell straight on the ground, as if she had passed out.

After a while, there were indeed chaotic footsteps coming towards her. Several people discussed in a low voice, and then someone covered her with a thin cloak, moved her to his back, and hurriedly carried her to another courtyard.

She should have realized that these people have been following her since she left the mountain pass.

Jinse still closed her eyes tightly, wanting to see who this group of people are.

"...Send someone to invite a doctor, and find two maids to take care of the daily life. In addition, I will report this matter to the prince."

Someone ordered in a low voice.

The prince he said made Jinse's heart tremble unconsciously.

Suddenly, someone questioned: "My lord has been busy with things recently, he just ordered us to secretly protect Miss Song all the way, and we only need to do our duty, so why report these things, which will only increase the lord's worries?"

"Nonsense! If the lord doesn't care, why set up a village at Nayi Mountain Pass to protect Miss Song's peace? Why send me to protect her all the way? You don't need to say anything, just send someone to report."

Jinse slowly opened her eyes and sighed faintly.

The two people standing outside the screen in front of her bed were startled, and hurriedly bowed to leave, Jinse called them: "Stop."

The two of them stomped their feet.

Jinse sat up slowly, and finally said: "Let me ask you, which family owns Qingyue today?"

The two looked at each other for a while, before one of them said: "Ms. Hui, naturally belongs to the Su family."

"Then who is the prince you are talking about?"

Now that Qingyue has changed emperor, who is the new emperor?Su Mo, or Zu Li?Then who is this prince who makes people protect her?
The two of them paused for a moment, they seemed to have reached a consensus, they didn't answer Jinse, they just bowed slightly and said, "Young lady, rest well."

"You don't have to answer, or you can leave on your own, as long as you are not afraid that you will not be able to explain to your master." Jinse lay down again casually, and said lightly.

One of them seemed to be disdainful, and went straight out of the room, but the other stopped, and after a long time, he sighed slightly and replied to Jinse: "Young lady, it's the regent."

Jinse suffocated suddenly.

Regent?Where did the Regent come from?
She didn't want to think about it, and she didn't want to understand, but she still opened her mouth involuntarily: "Su... Mo?"

"Exactly."

With a bang, Jinse felt that all her thoughts were blown away.He obviously told himself not to think about it, but in the bottom of his heart, he still sketched the appearance of the current situation countless times, thought about thousands of possibilities, but never thought that this would be the case!

Regent Su Mo, then the current emperor should be the little prince that Su Ran only got a few years ago?So what happened to Su Ran?How is Lingluo?How is Zuli?And Mei Yueheng, what happened to him?

It was as if everyone in this world had severed their connection with her, and the only one who was still connected with her was the one who absolutely shouldn't be connected.

Jinse sat up again abruptly, walked around the screen in front of the bed and walked outside, and saw that the man standing outside was about 35 or [-] years old, strong and upright with a clean appearance.

"Then let me ask you, where is Su Li now?"

The man didn't hesitate anymore, just because he knew these things had to be said, so he said: "Two years ago, when the late emperor was still in power, there were floods in Jiang and Tai states again, and the people in the two states complained a lot. , intending to force the late emperor to abdicate and let the virtuous, and at the same time mobilize the army to surround the nine palace gates. Most of the Chinese and military ministers in the court were used by King Ning, and they echoed their words, and some even pressed them with all their strength. The late emperor was forced to agree to write an edict of abdication, but He also secretly ordered people to capture the family members who intended to rebel against important ministers, and started killing them. There was a chaos in the court, and King Ning forced the palace, and fought fiercely for more than ten days. In the end, King Qin led his troops back to Beijing to rescue and put down the rebellion. King Ning fled, and the first emperor also Nowhere to be found. After some turmoil, the eldest son of the emperor ascended the throne, and the king of Qin was the regent, taking charge of all political affairs."

The government changed, and the situation in Qingyue changed drastically, but Su Ran disappeared, and Su Li seemed to have disappeared from the world.

Under such circumstances, Jinse was a little confused about what to do.There has been no news from Zuli for two years. Did something happen?If he was all right, why didn't he come to her?And if something happened to him, why hasn't there been any news about it?
Who owns the world, she doesn't really care. Right now, she just wants to know where Su Li is.

After thinking for two days, Jinse decided to go back to Qingzhou.

In this palace change, only Su Mo is the last and only winner. Perhaps, only he knows where Su Li is.

Jinse didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong, but this seemed to be the only way before her.

After traveling for many days, Jinse finally returned to Qingzhou.Today, the city where she grew up has become extremely strange.

But fortunately, the courtyard where Lvhe and Luhe lived is still there, Jinse follows the memory and comes to that small courtyard, only to see the desolation in his eyes.

But now, besides here, where is her shelter?
She spent a whole day tidying up the dusty courtyard from the inside to the outside by herself. At dusk, she finally tidied everything up, except for mopping the floor, so she went to the backyard again to clean A bucket of water came up and began mopping the floor.

In fact, I have never been a person who can do these things, but after living alone for so long, I already know how to take care of myself, and I have become handy when doing heavy work like mopping the floor.

Living in this world is actually far less difficult than she imagined before.

When a slender red figure quietly appeared in front of the main room, Jinse was buried in wiping an unknown stain vigorously, over and over again, the rough cloth rubbed her hands red, and finally wiped away the stain. wipe off.

She threw the dirty cloth into the basin, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and then noticed the figure standing at the door.

The last ray of sunlight in the sky had disappeared, and she was so busy wiping the floor that she even forgot to turn on the lamp.At this time, the person who looked up at the door could not see his facial features or expression clearly, but he could still recognize him at a glance.

I didn't expect him to come so soon. After all, with the current court situation, he, the regent, should be the busiest.

Jinse stood up and hurriedly found the fire pocket, but found that it had not been used for a long time, it had already been damp and could not be lit.

The fire lighted up in the room silently, but it was Su Mo who stepped into the room holding the torch in his hand, illuminating his red court attire, which was second only to bright yellow in dignity, and also illuminating Jinse's unkempt hair and dirty face.

"I'm really sorry." Jinse said, "I just came back. After cleaning up for a whole day, I have neither tea nor boiled water, so I can't serve you tea."

Su Mo looked calm and leisurely. With his slender fingers, he pinched the fire pocket to light the dusty candles on the table, and then extinguished the fire pocket. A very small movement, but inexplicably showed the indifference and alienation of people in high positions.

Jinse turned her eyes away, moved the wooden basin full of dirty water under her feet outside the house, and then walked into the house again. Su Mo had already sat down, looking down at the book she found from a corner when she was cleaning the house. a few books.

Jinse looked at his unparalleled dignity, then at her own body, thought for a while, picked a stool to sit not far from him, and then said: "Congratulations, you finally got Get what you want."

Su Mo still lowered his eyes, reading the book quietly, and after a while, he finally turned another page, and finally raised his eyes to look at her with a calm and calm expression: "You know, what is my wish? "

"What's the point of talking about this now?" Jinse smiled lightly, "My sister has died because of this, and you are finally in a high position now, so it's a sense of well-being, right?"

Su Mo rested his forehead lightly, hooked the corners of his lips, and waited for her to continue.

Jinse took a deep breath, and said again: "I came back this time, to know where is Su Li?"

"Why do you think I'll know where he is?"

"Because you are Su Mo." Jinse said calmly, "Su Ran is such a powerful person, he can't beat you. Now the world of Qingyue belongs to you. You even know my whereabouts like the back of your hand. Know where Zuli is now."

Su Mo raised his eyes and glanced at her, then stood up suddenly, walked in front of her, bent down and raised her face, forcing her to look at him, and then said: "Then have you ever thought about it, I think Knowing who's whereabouts just depends on who is more important to me."

Jinse stared at him silently for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Does this mean that to you, I am even more important than Su Li?"

"What if I say yes?"

All of a sudden, Jinse felt that his eyes were dark and frightening, but she still shook her head and laughed: "I will never forget how my sister died. If you are really an infatuated saint, then you will never forget." There is no current regent, Su Mo."

Su Mo suddenly laughed lowly, and squeezed her chin even more tightly, "Actually, you girl has a steelyard in your heart, but it's a pity that this is not a fair business."

After he finished saying this specious sentence, he suddenly straightened up and was about to leave.

Jinse also stood up abruptly, and stopped in front of him: "Please tell me, where is Su Li?"

Su Mo's eyes lightly flicked across her face, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Since you know that I am not some infatuated saint, why should you expect me to tell you where he is?"

Jinther paused and did not speak.

Su Mo sneered and brushed past her.

Jinse took a deep breath, turned around to look at him suddenly, and said word by word: "If you tell me where he is, I will tell you the secret of Tianxiazhi."

Su Mo paused slowly.

Jinse looked at his back, and continued: "Tianxia Zhi, you said at the beginning that you really wanted to see what happened, didn't you?"

How long ago was that said?Su Mo narrowed his eyes slowly, and smiled faintly: "But I also said, if I can't see it, I won't regret it."

"People in high positions, don't they all hope to get higher power?" Jinse stared and said, "If you say you don't care, who can you deceive?"

Su Mo's eyes darkened slightly, and finally turned to look at her again: "Okay, then why should I believe that you will know the secret of Tianxiazhi?"

"I lived in Nayi Mountain for three years, and I learned the secret of Nayiwen, Tianxiazhi, which I discovered by accident." Jinse's expression was flat, as if he was just narrating things that had nothing to do with him, "As long as you tell The whereabouts of my Su Li, I will tell you this secret."
