Abandoned Daughter from a Noble Family: Poison to the World
Chapter 168 Traveling Far Away
Linghu Lanke was still smiling and not annoyed at all.
She seemed to regard the sky that Chen Xingyuan pierced as a child's kite. The wind blew, tore off the strings, and floated everywhere with the kite.
It doesn’t matter that the kite is made of sandalwood or satin.
"Xingyuan, you have to keep that Yuquan Sword. My mother always asked me to keep it safe before she died. I don't want to be a killer, so you have to go."
Linghu Lanke was thirty years old, a man of many vicissitudes, and his eyes looked like he had seen a hundred years of desolate grassland, with withered vegetation and no living people.
Chen Xingyuan looked at the hand on her shoulder and the wrist guard hidden in the sleeve. She looked familiar.
It seems that I have seen it before, with the most common phoenix flower in Quanzhou in April and May, which is very public and wanton.
She took another look at Linghu Lanke today, only to find that she was wearing bright red on the third day after Linghu Jin's death.
I was thinking about how to solve the problem of killing Yingzan all the way, and almost didn't notice it.
"People are born selfish, and those who are not selfish are saints. Xingyuan just wants to be unfettered and free for the rest of his life, and practice everything I want."
Chen Xingyuan thought of her. Back then, when she was only six years old, she saw a young man in red clothes in Sangjia Wazi on Zhuque South Street. He was dressed in red and had unquestionable majesty in his every move.
Many years have passed, and the Sangjia Wazi has long since declined and was bought by a local. Chen Xingyuan has never been there again since he heard the story about Zhang Xun killing his concubines. He had a high fever all night and kept talking in sleep.
When he woke up the next day, Chen Xingyuan stuttered again.
I was angry at that person and stuttered even more.
"I can't bear the pain of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, beating bandits, I have nothing to say. If I live like the Wei and Jin Dynasties, I really feel that life is worse than death. I would rather be a counselor and hide behind the scenes than Face flesh and blood.”
Linghu Lanke held a cut lotus in her hand. The green stem was slender, as long as her arm. She said calmly that the word selfishness and the word use were taken for granted.
"What the prefect said is absolutely true."
Chen Xingyuan's mind turned around, but she couldn't figure out the reason. If the eunuch was angry, she could just switch to Shu. It didn't matter if her boss was gone. Every enemy she saw had to be killed.
She shook the palm that held the sword.
As the ancient poem goes, support the jade dragon and die for you. She knew that the bet was just an excuse to give away the sword. The prefect wanted her to hunt down Yu Yaohua, or to be the trigger to start a war between Nanxiang and Quanzhou.
The good person is always Linghu Lanke. She is a good eunuch who loves the people like her own son, and is both civil and military.
As for Chen Xingyuan, she is just the third daughter of Su Bai. She is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. Maybe she is deliberately trying to stir up trouble for Quanzhou.
"Go back to the banquet. At that table is the cook from Yunchuan, your mother Chen Mengyu. I have met her before, the little girl from Chen's Fish Shop.
Your grandmother loved to eat fish. When she was giving birth to your mother, she often dreamed of fat fish jumping into the pot one after another. She was so happy that she named her after Dream Fish. "
Linghu Lanke holds his hands behind his back, and there is a lotus, which is delicate and pink.
Chen Xingyuan didn't get along with his biological mother because of his ear piercing, and he had a grudge. He didn't know the past between her and her grandmother, and she didn't want to know.
His face was calm, thinking that he had to go to Yunchuan quickly and kill Subai.
If she doesn't kill Su Bai or her father in the lineage, she will never be able to get rid of Su San's brand.
"Then thank you, Governor."
Chen Xingyuan behaved like an official.
"There is a sentence in "Nineteen Ancient Poems", life is like a traveler from afar. The world remains unchanged forever, people are as small as dust, busy, running around all their lives, like a lone traveler all the time. Your name is this A word taken from a song?"
Linghu Lanke was good at calligraphy and ink, and he liked ancient poetry very much.
"You have a name and a surname, but who does it follow?"
She narrowed her eyes and led Chen Xingyuan towards the banquet on the second floor of the mansion.
Chen Xingyuan looked at the three palm prints on his palm. There were two lines, cut in the middle when he was practicing sword practice, one for marriage and one for kinship.
"Man is like an island. He is homeless all his life. I want a stable home, but I know it is impossible now. There will definitely be one in the future."
When she was a child, she witnessed Su Bai killing people. Rows of men were tied behind their backs, kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered, and hemp ropes strangling their necks. The fat executioner spit wine at the machete, and the sun shined on the blade, swishing. Down, the head falls to the ground.
She didn't want to become the concubine who was killed, she didn't want to become a weak woman who couldn't accept the tragic ending, and she didn't want to be the victim who was killed and cooked.
"As for my surname, I don't want to have the same surname as Su Bai, so naturally I want to take after my mother. I have to choose the lesser of two evils. My mother is more dear to me, even though I hate her."
She looked at the rustling leaves and the phoenix flowers in the yard blooming as brightly as fire.
After resurrecting her life, Chen Xingyuan changed her life trajectory. Instead of going to Shu immediately, she defected to the prefect of Quanzhou.
Quanzhou and Qiongzhou have been places of exile since ancient times, and the heat was unbearable. She was still unable to cut off certain things, which made her feel uneasy.
"I see, I guessed it right."
Linghu Lanke was sitting at the small square table with shiny black wood and Yunchuan delicacies, which seemed to be specially prepared for Chen Xingyuan.
"When I was a teenager, I had a bad temper with my mother, and I wanted to go out to meet the world. I didn't know where to go. Suddenly I remembered that my mother once said that my grandmother Qiao once built a tile in Yunchuan. My son was famous for a while, but it was a pity that the war broke out, so my grandmother took my mother and ran away to Quanzhou."
Linghu Lanke poured wine for her, and they drank together.
"Grandma had a younger brother named Sang Gecko. He loved to gamble, but his grandmother kicked him out of the house because of gambling. The Sang family's ancestral home was in Yunchuan, and Sang Gecko stayed there. Suddenly he had an idea and cleaned up the unattended tiles. , it started again."
Linghu Lanke looked at the celadon cup the size of a blue pomegranate. At the bottom of the cup was a carp that kept jumping.
"When I went there, the second-generation Sangsang family Wazi, which was started by Sang Gecko, had closed down. It was managed by Sang Gecko's descendants. I spent money to buy it. The only book it talked about was Zhang Xun's Killing of Concubines to Enjoy the Army.
At that time, there was only one girl in the house, and the rest were all men. They all said they didn't believe it, it was impossible, and some said that Zhang Xun sacrificed his daughter for everyone, not only was it not a stain, but it was a shining point. "
Linghu Lanke felt that the battlefield was too bloody. She didn't want to touch her writing and drawing hands, for fear that they would break just as she came to the forefront.
She cherishes her life the most.
So, she found Chen Xingyuan, a swordsman.
Chen Xingyuan eats fish and likes fish eyes. In fact, it is not the taste of eating fish, it is just a quirk he developed when he was a child. As time goes by, he cannot change it. He just likes to poke the holes in his eyes.
"What did the girl say?"
Linghu Lanke smiled, "The girl didn't say anything, she just looked at me. She was a little confused at first, but then she seemed to be enlightened, and she broke the illusion of those heroes."
That woman was also a human being in the world. To protect the country, he killed her for food. Later, when there was no food supply, Zhang Xun killed other people for food.
The strong man does not swing his sword at the enemy, but at the weak who are attached to him, eating their flesh and blood, eating and drinking enough, and then guarding the city for the foolish emperor.
No one can accept the fate of being killed and cooked as long as they take the place of the woman who was eaten.

The rebellion in Nanxiang was known to all the seven countries. The imperial court sent Wang Fei to fight. Ying Tu saw her son being burned into a roast pig, and became even more headache and irritated. She killed two adopted sons who made small mistakes in one go.
The wizard wearing a golden mask was dressed in red, holding a bell, and danced on the altar. A handful of powder was thrown into the burning flame, and it suddenly shot up into the sky.
The wizard's mask turned orange-red due to the reflection.
Dozens of adult men were shackled, one after the other, walking neatly towards the steps of the altar. The guards behind them were holding spears and urging them forward.
"Sacrifice to the gods!"
The wizard stopped the bell in his hand, picked up the tray dagger, dug out the living heart along the way, and threw the most delicate flesh of the heart into the fire as a sacrifice to the evil god.
The guard smelled the burnt meat and frowned frequently.
Ying Tu sat on a high platform, condescendingly looking down at the sacrifice of human beings like an emperor. He clapped his hands and applauded happily.
Yuan Li, who was lurking in the guard team, was fortunately wearing a mask that only exposed his eyes. His face was full of disgust and he could hardly restrain himself.
Bai Rugu, she was originally the only daughter of Duke Sui, and her mother was a princess. Why did she become so... cruel?
Yuan Li was puzzled, looking at the gentle man, even if he liked to play the conspiracy and tricks of the back house, it would not be like his hands were really stained with blood. In the past few days, she saw Bai Rugu kill several people in a row, all of them escaped. Soldier.
Ying Tu was always strict with deserters, and the list of conscripts was limited to a large number, not a small one. Anyone who escaped would be killed by him as a warning to others.
However, this time, he caught too many deserters.
Some cannot be killed.
"Your Majesty, these are the young men in Nanxiang this year. There are about fifty thousand."
A wretched-looking old eunuch bent over and held up a bamboo slip.
Ying Tu was already angry when she thought that Wang Fei, that pretty boy, was coming over. Thinking that the population in her territory was so small, she was so angry that she kicked the old eunuch in the heart.
"Idiot, what's the use of 50,000 new soldiers? I'm going to recruit a large number of troops. In Nanxiang, any man who is longer than a riding whip must join the army. Old men over sixty will also be allowed to join the army. As long as they are men, they are not allowed to be corrupt. Afraid of death!"
Yingtu did not regard the people of the fief as human beings. He should treat these people as the treasures left by his ancestors. After cutting one crop and another, as long as they did not die, he would enjoy it endlessly.
The old eunuch seems to be dead. He has always been with Yingtu. From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the good dog that Yingtu is most satisfied with. In front of others, this old eunuch pretends to be powerful and bullies others, killing many people.
Yuan Li watched him twitch and thought Ying Tu would feel pity and send the old eunuch down for treatment. Who would have thought that Ying Tu would directly ask someone to throw the old eunuch into the Colosseum to feed the hungry beasts inside? .
Wang Fei's army will arrive in Nanxiang in five days at the earliest. Ying Tu is proud and complacent, dissatisfied with all the kings with different surnames around him, and even ignores King Pingyang. His rebellion makes all the surrounding kings restless.
