Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 31 His Stubborn Stone, My Rough Jade (1)
"Naughty." Xie Ziyu suddenly reached out and hooked Gou Chuning's chin, and smiled softly.

That "naughty" sound made Chuning's body stiff, and goosebumps almost fell to the ground.

After a while, I heard Xie Ziyu say again: "Second Miss is your elder sister, and she will be my elder sister from now on. How can you make such a joke? If you mention it again in the future, don't blame me for punishing you."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Chu Yan, and said, "A-Ning was just joking, please don't take it seriously, Mrs. Chu and Second Miss."

Chu Yan's face suddenly turned pale.

Madam Chu also smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, Ning'er is also thinking of His Highness."

"A-Ning always likes to worry too much. Does this king judge people by appearance? In this world, if there is a woman who can fall into the eyes of this king, it is only Aning."

Xie Ziyu's understatement completely wiped out Mrs. Chu and Chu Yan's thoughts. Mrs. Chu made a few perfunctory words, and then dragged the distraught Chu Yan out of the room.

"No, it's impossible... What's her right? Mother, why do you think she's righted?" Chu Yan finally came back to her senses, tears streaming down her face, and murmured.

Mrs. Chu's complexion was a bit dignified. She saw it more clearly than Chu Yan, and knew that Xie Ziyu was showing her attitude. Even if she wanted to win happiness for her daughter, she was just overthinking her capabilities.

"Yan'er, don't mention this matter again. There are many outstanding men in this imperial capital. Mother will definitely find a good marriage for you." Madam Chu comforted her.

"I don't want it!" Chu Yan screamed suddenly, "I've loved him for three years! I only want him..."

She still remembered that three years ago, when she attended the palace banquet with her mother, she saw that young man walking slowly from the door. He was dressed in white and was unparalleled in dignity. At that time, he was only 16 years old, and he had already shocked the world. She had long been impressed by his talent. She was overwhelmed, and that look made her unable to extricate herself from now on.

In the past three years, she tried her best to get close to him, and slowly let him know herself. Occasionally, he would play a game of chess with her. She thought he was interested in her, because this woman from the imperial capital was someone who could play chess with him , except for Xie Lingshuang, she was the only one.

But she honed her chess skills for so many years and paid so much for nothing, yet he wants to marry that ugly monster!
At this moment, Chu Ning was leaning against the window. Although Mrs. Chu had taken Chu Yan away, she could still hear Chu Yan's words.

She turned around and looked at Xie Ziyu with a half-smile: "It seems that His Highness is the one with boundless charm."

"Ma'am is also very cute when she is jealous." Xie Ziyu stepped forward, reached out to caress Chuning's face, and smiled lightly.

Chuning couldn't help laughing: "In the whole world, only Your Highness has such a different aesthetic from ordinary people."

Her face covered with red spots was actually able to be admired by him, which really made people have to doubt his aesthetics.

"His stubborn stone is my rough jade." Xie Ziyu lowered her head and whispered in Chuning's ear.

Chuning's heart twitched slightly, as if infinite warmth poured into his heart, with an intoxicating sweetness.

On the eve of the wedding, Chu Ning was about to go to bed, when she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, she immediately held her breath, but fell down on the bed.

After a while, someone pushed open the door, three people heard footsteps, one of the men said: "I'm fainted, carry her away."

A cloth bag was put on Chuning's head, and the person was also carried on the shoulders. The person was carrying her and was about to leave when a familiar female voice suddenly sounded: "Do it quickly, don't mess with me." Right and wrong."

Chu Ning's heart suddenly turned cold, she was really unwilling, and had such vicious thoughts, wanting to kill her.

Chuning felt that the little warmth left in his heart disappeared at this moment.

"Don't worry, we never hold anything back." The other man chuckled.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chuning faintly felt that she had been thrown to the ground, and said, "It's a pity that I'm too ugly, otherwise we brothers can have a good time today."

"Haha, it's so late at night, and she covered her face again, who cares if she's ugly or not?" Another person said, "Take off her clothes to see if her skin is smooth."

As soon as the words fell, two screams were heard, followed by a heavy fall to the ground.

Chu Ning sat up, took off the cloth bag on his head, looked at Mu Jian, and curled his lips: "Why are you taking action now?"

"I want to see if there are any other accomplices." Mu Jian said seriously.

Chu Ning stood up, patted the dust on her body, and found that the place where she was thrown was the woods on the outskirts of the city. She looked up at the moon, and there was a trace of desolation in her eyes. All her life, she had been longing for family love and care, because she hadn't seen her since she was a child. Since she was a biological mother, she was even more eager to get a little bit of warmth from the general's mansion. Even if there is no warmth, at least she can live in peace, or someone can lend a helping hand in times of crisis. It was someone she had expected and tolerated again and again.

"Mu Jian, you go back first, I want to be alone for a while." Chuning said softly.

Mu Jian looked at the woman under the moonlight, she was alone, with a gleam in her clear eyes, he didn't know that she would still be sad, after so many years of humiliation in the general's mansion, she should have hated them so much, Unexpectedly, there was still a glimmer of hope.

He suddenly said, "Do you want to..."

"Don't." Chuning said without thinking, she stared at Mu Jian, and said seriously, "Don't touch her."

Mu Jian was silent for a moment, finally nodded, and left alone.

Chu Ning walked out of the woods slowly, suddenly, an arrow pierced through the air, Chuning dodged to the side, and a sword fell across her neck.

"Miss San, we meet again." A disguised voice rang in his ear, and Chu Ning concentrated on it. He was the leader of the men in black that day.

"Today is my death day?" Chuning asked calmly.

"No, I changed my mind. Since His Highness cares so much about Miss San, how about we give him a surprise?" the man said slowly.

Chu Ning didn't speak, and the man continued: "On the eve of the wedding, I saw my princess-to-be insulted by another man, what do you think will happen to him?"

Chu Ning's face suddenly sank: "It turns out that Your Excellency is such a despicable person."

"To deal with despicable people, I can only use despicable methods." The man laughed horribly.

The icy sword edge was attached to her neck, but Chuning didn't feel scared at all, she just smiled slightly: "Sorry, I'm going to disappoint you."

When it was too late, Chu Ning suddenly pressed his neck on the sword. The man in black behind him was startled, and wanted to withdraw the sword. Stretching to his waist, he suddenly pulled out a delicate soft sword, pointed it at him, and said coldly, "Who are you?"

Chuning's neck had been cut, and blood was slowly oozing out, but she didn't seem to notice it, her sharp eyes stared straight at the man.

The two sword lights collided under the moonlight, and Chuning almost risked her life. In this battle, she could only win, not lose.

The man didn't expect Chuning's moves to be so sharp, he hesitated for a while, but Chuning had already stabbed his arm.

As soon as the wind broke out, Chu Ning faintly heard footsteps, and someone was coming. She knew that it was not appropriate to indulge in a fight, so she used her lightness kung fu to escape quickly.

She didn't go towards the city, because the arrow was shot from that direction just now.

The blood on the neck was flowing more and more, and Chuning knew that if this continued, she would not be able to escape. Suddenly she saw a river, it was the Yu River, and the water flowed into the city!
Chuning jumped down without thinking.

After a while, the man in black chased after him, followed by several people. He looked at the blood on the riverside, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You guys search for me! The others keep an eye on me." General's Mansion, we must never let her go back!"

"Yes!"

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ning surfaced and swam to the shore, lying on a flat ground somewhat out of breath. She glanced at the calm river, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly. That man must have thought she would go along with it. She went down the river and returned to the city, but she had to go up the river.

Chuning rested for a while, then took off his outer shirt, tore off his mask, hid under the nearby rock, took out a fiery red brocade handkerchief from his bosom, tied a knot around his neck, just enough to cover the wound, and The maidservant had prepared a red brocade handkerchief for her, and she stuffed it into her bosom at that time, but now it came in handy.

Chuning loosened all her black hair again, and then walked forward with her body supported. It was very dark, and only the faint moonlight illuminated the road ahead.

She walked slowly towards the official road, drying her clothes and hair with her internal energy while walking. It is not suitable for her to use up her internal energy, but she cannot leave traces of water. She wants to gamble on her luck, and she wants to enter the city openly .

Chuning's face was pale, but his mind was unusually clear, and his body was more alert than ever.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves behind her, and Chuning turned her head quickly, and saw a man galloping towards her on a horse.

Seeing Chuning, the person on the horse immediately pulled the reins.

He rode his horse and approached Chuning slowly, walked up to her, and leaned slightly from the horse: "It's you."

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

Chu Ning was stunned, she never expected that she would meet a person that she would never meet at this time and place—Mu Lianzhi, he was a little embarrassed, he looked like a traveler, obviously he was on the road long time.

Before Chu Ning could speak, he saw the corners of his lips slightly curled up, and called out, "Linglong?" After a pause, he added, "Or, Aning."

Seeing that Chuning was silent, he twitched the corners of his lips and asked, "Do you want me to call you Master Ning?"

A slight surprise flashed in Chuning's eyes, but she just looked at him without responding.

Mu Lianzhi took her surprised expressions into his eyes one by one, and couldn't help being a little proud. He has been looking for this Linglong's whereabouts. He found someone to look up the person who held a wedding in Cangdu that day, although he could not find out directly. , but he was almost sure that that person was Xie Ziyu.

Xie Ziyu would marry someone?He couldn't imagine it.

So he continued to investigate, starting from the Desert of Death. It turned out that Mu Han rescued Xie Ziyu and his so-called "wife" Ning Chuchu by mistake.

He asked Mu Han to draw a portrait of Ning Chuchu, which was completely different from Linglong, but very similar to Ningchu in the imperial capital, and Linglong was also completely different from Wei Linglong, but Wei Linglong was Ningchu's confidante.

Therefore, he was almost certain that Ning Chuchu and Linglong were both Ning Chu.

But who is Ning Chu?
She is a woman, what ability does she have to form a bond of life and death with Xie Ziyu?How did she help Ye Qingyan defeat North Vietnam?And how did Wei Qing overturn the case and easily enter the Ministry of Criminal Justice?

He thought and thought, and finally remembered a person——Chuning, the girl he raised with his own hands.

Ning Chu, Chu Ning, he should have thought a long time ago that his Aning is the smartest and most cunning woman in the world. He just enlightened her, and she gained ability and wisdom.

However, he never thought that she would have such an astonishing beauty!

Chu Ning looked at Mu Lianzhi with no expression on his face, but there was a huge wave in his heart. This "Master" really exceeded her expectations.

After a while, she smiled lightly: "Master, you came at the right time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she staggered. The wound on her back hadn't healed yet, and the wound on her neck had lost too much blood. Old wounds added new wounds. If the man in black appeared at this moment, she couldn't protect herself at all.

Mu Lianzhi quickly jumped off his horse to support Chuning: "What's wrong with you?"

"My apprentice is being chased and killed, I think the master won't let him die." Chu Ning leaned on Mu Lianzhi and forced a smile.

"I told you not to call me Master!" Mu Lianzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Who is chasing you?"

"I don't know, but if you don't bandage my wound, I really won't be able to hold on." Chuning said as he untied the brocade handkerchief.

Mu Lianzhi looked at the wound on Chuning's neck, and gasped. The wound was not long, but it was deep. Flesh and blood were flying, and bones could be seen.

Mu Lianzhi quickly took out the wound medicine he carried with him, applied it on Chuning, and took out a bandage to wrap up the wound.

Leaning on Mu Lianzhi's body, Chu Ning put on the brocade handkerchief again: "It's almost dawn, take me back to the city."

Mu Lianzhi carried Chuning onto the horse, put his arms around her waist, put his legs around the horse's belly, and let the horse start to move forward.

Suddenly, Mu Lianzhi pulled the reins and asked, "What are you doing back to the city? The person who chased you may be waiting for you at the gate of the city."

Chu Ning was silent for a while, then smiled: "Master should have heard that tomorrow is the day of my disciple's marriage. Could it be that Master came here in such a hurry to drink my disciple's wedding wine?"

"No." Mu Lianzhi's voice became a little low. He leaned into Chuning's ear and said softly, "I came here to stop you."

Chu Ning was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "It's been a long time, but Master still likes to joke."

"Chuning, I've never admitted that I'm your master." Mu Lianzhi suddenly put his arms around Chuning's waist, and said in a rare serious voice, "I left everything in Xiling behind and ran to death ten horses before I arrived. Imperial capital, do you really think I'm joking?"

Chu Ning closed his eyes and suddenly laughed twice.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at you for deceiving yourself." Chuning said slowly, "If you were really interested in me, you wouldn't come here today. The date of my marriage with Xie Ziyu has already been announced to the world. If you want to stop it, you should have arrived in the imperial capital long ago. Mu Lianzhi, what you want is not the ugly Chuning in the general's residence, but Linglong who is completely different from Chuning."

Mu Lianzhi didn't speak, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "How do you know that I didn't hesitate again and again before finally making up my mind? I..."

"Too late." Chu Ning interrupted Mu Lianzhi in a cold voice, "Mu Lianzhi, you are too late."

They have known each other for so many years, they should have no grievances and face each other calmly, but in fact they have been guarding against each other. He concealed his identity from her, and she never fully confessed his heart.

She had known for a long time that she was just a chess piece in his palm, and he wanted to use her as a chess piece to influence the world, but he just forgot that this chess piece had its own thoughts, which prevented him from fully controlling it.

"No, it's not too late, you haven't married him yet, have you?" Mu Lianzhi said, and suddenly reached out and touched Chuning's sleeping point.

Chuning's eyes darkened, and he fell into Mu Lianzhi's arms.

Mu Lianzhi hugged her and rode his horse towards the city gate.

"Who is it?" At the gate of the city, Mu Lianzhi was stopped by the guards.

He took out a document from his pocket and said, "This king is King Mu of Xiling, and I am here to attend King Rong's wedding."

"Who is this woman?" After hearing this, a soldier came over and couldn't help asking when he saw the beautiful woman lying in his arms.

"This king's concubine Ji, do I still have to explain to you?" Mu Lianzhi asked coldly with a slight chill in his eyes.

The soldier dared not speak any more.

At this moment, the palace of Prince Rong was decorated with lights and brightly lit, but a woman's scream came from a corner: "I really don't know where she is...Your Highness...you have to believe me..."

In the dungeon of Prince Rong's Mansion, a woman was clutching her stomach and rolling on the ground. Her hair was disheveled and she was in a panic. Her slender fingers were tightly grasping Xie Ziyu's trousers.

Mu Jian stood aside expressionlessly, watching coldly. He had promised Chuning not to move her, but he hadn't promised not to let others touch her.

That's right, Mu Jian directly told Xie Ziyu about someone's plan to murder Chu Ning, and then someone was taken to Rong Wang's mansion by Su Ye. Originally, he just wanted to punish him with a small punishment, but found that Chu Ning had never returned , Xie Ziyu sent people to investigate, but they did not find her whereabouts.

Thus, small punishments became big punishments.

"Second Miss, it's best to tell the truth. If the king's wedding cannot be held as scheduled, the king will let you know the real consequences." Xie Ziyu stared at Chu Yan on the ground and said coldly.

"I, I really don't know..." Chu Yan was still struggling with tears streaming down her face in pain.

"Feed her another one." Xie Ziyu glanced at Su Ye.

With orders, Su Ye squeezed Chu Yan's chin and stuffed a pill into her mouth.

"Ah!" Chu Yan only felt that her limbs and bones were about to fall apart in pain, and her hand holding Xie Ziyu was also loose, she could only roll and scream on the ground.

The pill wouldn't cause her any wounds, but it would cause her unbearable pain. Chu Yan couldn't bear such pain at all.

"What's so good about her?" Chu Yan suddenly raised her head, burst into tears, and asked loudly with strong unwillingness and resentment, "She is inferior to me in everything! You were obviously forced to marry her, why do you care about her so much?" ?!"
