After being reborn, being alone as a queen

Zhulu City is not far from the capital, Ye Li jumped off the carriage: "Young Master, Zhulu City is here, and the city gate is ahead."

The three of Xie Jin got out of the car. This town is not comparable to the capital, and there are many carriages.

If you drive a carriage all the way into this place, it will definitely attract attention.

Ye Li couldn't figure it out: "Your Majesty, I don't understand something."

Mu Xiu looked at him: "What's the matter?"

"You are well aware that this trip is dangerous. From now on, we, the National Teacher of Southern Chu, are not a simple role. Why don't you bring more people to prevent accidents? You are the king of a country, and your safety is not as important as the sky falling. .”

Xie Jin looked at Mu Xiu, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Mu Xiu waved his hand: "Even if you bring thousands of troops to this matter, it is useless. The national teacher has saved my life. It is not a lie that he has been kind to me for so many years. I want to meet him in person and hear him explain the reason .”

But both Rong Yunhe and Xie Jin knew it, and they didn't need it at all.

If Mu Xiu is safe and sound, with his martial arts, it will be difficult to find an opponent.

But now, he has no choice.

There are Gu worms in his body, if he acts rashly, he will die first.

Mu Xiuxiu was in a daze, and suddenly felt that his hands were tightly wrapped by a pair of cool hands. Xie Jin smiled: "Your Highness, don't worry, but Huai'an still exists, and you will protect Your Majesty forever."

Rong Yunhe: "..." Suddenly felt that I was superfluous.

The few people did not delay, and quickly entered the city, lest the night would be long and dreamy.

After not returning to this place for many years, looking back at the past, Rong Yunhe's eyes were full of emotion. Compared with the dilapidated small town that was only half the size of today's a hundred years ago, the current Zhulu City is much more prosperous and lively.

Colorful silk ribbons are hung outside the rouge shop of restaurants and inns, mainly in bright and festive colors such as purple, gold, and red.

Vendors in the market carry sugar figurines and bundled candied haws to and fro

A carriage passed by in the middle of the road, and pedestrians gave way one after another. Mu Xiu subconsciously put his arms around Xie Jin's shoulder: "Look at the road."

The corners of Xie Jin's lips curled up: "Except when I was a child, I haven't visited the market like this with Your Highness for a long time. Sure enough, ordinary people also have the happiness of ordinary people."

The chill on Mu Xiu's face dissipated a little, a slight smile appeared on the tight lips, and he said, "If you like it, tell me when you think about it later, and I will definitely accompany you."

Xie Jin lowered his eyelashes, and said with a light smile, "Why does Zhulu City look busier than Yujing?"

Mu Xiu glanced at him and said, "Have you forgotten? The folk Qixi Festival is coming soon."

When he mentioned this, Xie Jin remembered.

Every year on Qixi Festival, temple fairs are prepared in various places, either grand or deserted.

But the posture of Zhulu City is different from other lands at first glance. Although Mu Xiu didn't believe in gods and Buddhas for many years, he never interfered with the people's beliefs.

Like this kind of traditional folk festival, the place is very lively when it is large, and the place is desolate and deserted when it is small.

In this regard, he specially issued an imperial decree. In order to let the people feel the festive atmosphere in Beijing and China, each jurisdiction, from large to small, has sent special officials to supervise these matters. Over the years, festivals in various places have been very lively.

The most famous event in Southern Chu is the Qixi Marriage Meeting. Every year, officials from all over the country decide which city to hold the meeting by drawing lots. Every city, big or small, has the opportunity, and there is no preference for one over another. This is also the meaning of the emperor.

In this way, the marriage fate every year will gradually be passed on by word of mouth among the people, adding a little mystery, because it is rare to meet.

This year is obviously the turn of Zhulu City.

Xie Jin hasn't participated in the marriage meeting for many years. The last time it was held in the capital was five or six years ago.

"That's quite a coincidence." Xie Jin said sincerely.

In the previous life, I waited for so many years and didn't meet him, but I met him in the first year of rebirth.

Finally, I finally got to know my heart with His Highness. Under such circumstances, it would be too inappropriate to talk about the relationship between children. Xie Jin couldn't laugh or cry.

Mu Xiu: "After everything is done, we can still catch up."

Xie Jin sighed: "I hope."

......

Standing in front of the door, Rong Yunhe pushed aside the dense vines and groped around on the mountain wall, with a serious face.

Xie Jin: "What's wrong?"

Rong Yunhe withdrew his hand: "The formation behind this door... has been changed, he must be inside."

Xie Jin raised his brows slightly, and stepped forward: "Let me try it."

Rong Yunhe looked at him for a while, then moved away.

Xie Jin leaned his ear close to the mountain wall and listened for a while, then decisively bit his fingertips and drew a strange totem on the position of the stone gate with his blood, wiped the cut on his fingertips and said: "Okay, try it now."

Rong Yunhe stepped forward and turned the stone door.

Xie Jin's attention was still on the mountain wall, Mu Xiu took two steps forward, grabbed his finger, his face was gloomy: "Do you have to do things like this to hurt the enemy one thousand and self-destroy eight hundred?"

Xie Jin was taken aback, and turned around

Mu Xiu glanced at his eyebrows, and carefully cleaned the plaster around his wound from drawing pictures on the mountain wall with a veil. From Xie Jin's perspective, he could see his thick long eyelashes and tightly pursed lips.

Xie Jin had no way to refute, so he could only pretend to be silly and smile.

After Rong Yunhe turned away from the stone, there was a booming sound from behind the stone gate, and he asked worriedly: "You two, be careful with hidden weapons."

The expected danger did not come, and the stone gate opened.

Rong Yunhe glanced at the dark corridor, then looked at Xie Jin with an unpredictable expression: "He really has no reservations about you."

Xie Jin didn't open his mouth. Song Huai'an in his previous life may not be unable to see who is good to him and who has ulterior motives.

And the reason why he stumbled in front of the national teacher is that the poison he used to deceive people's hearts is sweet, which makes people enjoy it, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the truth.

Maybe at first I really couldn't see clearly, but later I probably didn't want to see clearly.

Rong Yunhe had already prepared something for lighting, and took the lead to lead the way, and the three of them walked through the winding and deep passage.

When the scene appeared in front of him, Rong Yunhe couldn't help holding his breath.

Familiar streams and stone bridges, rows of houses of different heights, green medicine fields, and birds chirping in the mountains make people feel as if they have gone to the wrong dimension at first.

If Rong Yunhe hadn't seen it burnt down by a fire with his own eyes, and all his relatives were buried here, he must have felt that he was just having a nightmare.

A man was sitting in front of the house, silently looking at the three people on the side of the stone bridge.

I don't know which one of the three I'm looking at.

He and Rong Yunhe have waist-length white hair, and their appearance remains at the age of weak crowns, rare and handsome.

His skin is cold and white that has not seen the light all year round, as indifferent as his eyes, without any trace of popularity.

He stood up slowly, the corner of his robe was lifted by the morning wind.

"I knew you'd bring them."

"Rong Qi, stop."

Rong Yunhe couldn't remember how many years he hadn't seen his brother's real face, even if he sneaked into the palace late at night, what he saw was that strange and old human skin mask and an unkind person.

The man smiled, with a bit of desolation and sarcasm: "This name has long been abandoned, and my current name is - Zhai Jing."

Rong Yunhe was startled, Zhai Jing?Zhai is Beiyan's imperial surname, so it is really appropriate to get it.

The mirror is broken, and even if it is put back together, it will be full of cracks, irreparable.

Mu Xiu looked at Zhai Jing indifferently, neither happy nor angry: "I don't know what I should call Your Excellency? Senior or... National Teacher?"

Zhai Jing: "Your Majesty can call it whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Jin who hadn't spoken all the time: "Huai'an, the formation that can open the mountain gate, it seems that you haven't forgotten what the teacher taught you."

Xie Jin felt very strange, but Zhai Jing who took off the human skin mask seemed to be a completely different person.

Xie Jin took a deep breath and said, "Master, I have a few questions and I want to ask the teacher, and I hope to give some advice."

Zhai Jing's eyes moved slightly: "Ask."

"Three years ago, were you the one who forged the collaborating letter and tried every means to deliver it to me?"

"It was me, but Liang Hong's death was not wronged. It's just that he had a little brain and didn't leave any evidence. Although the letter paper is forged, the crime is true."

Mu Xiu looked at Xie Jin suspiciously, why didn't he know anything about the fake collaborating letter?

The latter didn't look at him, and the expression on his face rarely showed the persistence that he had when he was young, staring at Zhai Jing intently.

When Mu Xiu learned that he was personally planted with a poisonous Gu by his savior, he didn't have much ups and downs when he learned that the national teacher stayed in the palace for revenge in the first place.

But at this moment, a negative emotion rose inexplicably in his chest.

"Where did the cup of poisoned wine that all the imperial doctors were helpless come from?"

"I."

Xie Jin laughed at himself a little, too, except for the witch-doctor family that died out a hundred years ago, where to find such poison that doctors all over the world are at a loss for what to do.

"Why did you kill me? Since you wanted to kill me, why did you teach me with all your heart?"

"No why."

Xie Jin stared at him, Zhai Jing's expression remained unchanged, obviously he did not intend to let go no matter what.

"Zhai Yusheng doesn't know if the master can recognize this person? My apprentice ventured to guess that you were the one who helped him escape in Fenglin City...isn't it?"

"Yes, yes."

"Okay, one last question... What exactly is the Gu worm you planted on His Majesty?"

Zhai Jing said in a calm tone: "Emotion Gu, if you don't move your lust, it won't affect the human body. Once you move it... only death."

Xie Jin's face changed suddenly, and at this moment, he didn't care that the person opposite was his master, and said, "Where's the antidote?"

"There is no antidote. Once this Gu is planted, it is absolutely impossible to get rid of it unless you die."

As soon as he said this, Xie Jin hadn't had time to speak.

Mu Xiu's face changed slightly, and there was a creepy guess in his mind.

Back then, both his father and mother died because the gangsters leaked military secrets, but they were not killed in the same place, one was in the barracks, and the other was on the way to the barracks.

If the undercover agent was in the military camp, then the whereabouts of the mother and concubine would not be revealed so quickly, but if it was someone in the palace, let alone whether the news could be delivered to the enemy, even if it was delivered, how many enemy countries There will be precautions. If the two countries are at war, this kind of person is a double-edged sword. If you hold it well, you will kill the enemy, otherwise you will ruin yourself.

To meet these two conditions at the same time, unless... this person is in the palace and is extremely trusted by the enemy.

And the wife of the witch doctor clan patriarch has the blood of the Beiyan royal family...

Xie Jin looked nervously at Mu Xiu's flickering face, and said in a panic, "Your Highness? What's wrong with you?"

The blood on Mu Xiu's face was suddenly drawn away, and he grabbed Xie Jin's hand that was reaching out to help him: "Li Yuan...do you have something to hide from me?"

Xie Jin paused for a moment, then shook his head unconvincingly: "Your Highness..."

Mu Xiu raised his eyes suddenly: "National teacher... the death of my concubine mother and emperor father...is it related to you?"

Zhai Jing's brows were slightly imperceptible: "Yes."

Mu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, with a sad laugh: "The Gu you planted on my body is just for... cough cough now?"

Xie Jin's pupils dilated, and the fingers holding Mu Xiu's cuff tightened instantly, his knuckles turning white.

Mu Xiu choked up two mouthfuls of blood, and the color of the dripping on the ground gradually turned black.

Zhai Jing's tightly clenched fingers under his sleeves were loosened one by one, and the corners of his lips raised coldly: "Yes, if you are safe and sound, even if I want to leave, it will take a lot of effort."

Xie Jin is still in shock

Rong Yunhe quickly reached out and pinched his veins, and said after a while: "It's not good, his emotions stimulated the Gu worms." Then he looked at Zhai Jing and said, "Rong Qi! Are you crazy?"

Zhai Jing looked at him coldly: "Didn't I go crazy a long time ago? Rong Yunhe, I have already said that you can't stop me."

Rong Yunhe pointed at Mu Xiu and said, "If you are really crazy, then why did you save him?! Don't you want revenge? Isn't his death just what you wanted and you didn't need to do anything, but you just saved him? Why? "

Zhai Jing frowned: "It's none of your business, you must fight against me?"

"Brother, Master said that doctors are benevolent, have you forgotten?"

When mentioning his father, Zhai Jing's pupils shrank slightly, and he said, "I forgot it a long time ago."

Xie Jin paused and said: "Where is the mother Gu? If there is no antidote to find the mother Gu and kill it, the child Gu will naturally not survive."

Mu Xiu's eyes were red, and Xie Jin could feel his whole body trembling, whether it was from anger or pain: "Today, I must avenge my mother and concubine."

After finishing speaking, he broke away from Xie Jin's hand

Zhai Jing's thin lips lifted slightly, and he immediately flew up the mountain with his kung fu, followed closely by Mu Xiu. The speed of the two lights, one black and one white, was so fast that even the birds on the surrounding treetops didn't startle, because they didn't respond. come over.

The two of them made a few moves in the air, and Mu Xiu could barely cope with it even when the Gu worm was revived.

Rong Yunhe looked at the figures of the two who disappeared into the dense forest, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He asked Xie Jin: "Does the young master know how to do light work?"

Xie Jin nodded, and the two of them tapped their toes, and also swept towards the place where they had just disappeared, with their clothes flying.

But when they actually landed in the mountains, they searched several times before they found something was wrong.

Xie Jin touched the mark that looked like an eye on a tree trunk: "The situation is a little bit bad, we seem... to come back again."

The ominous premonition in Rong Yunhe's heart at this time also reached its peak with this weird situation like a ghost hitting a wall.

He suddenly realized something, stretched out his fist and punched the tree trunk: "Okay, we've been tricked again!"

Xie Jin's heart was on Mu Xiu, and when he heard his words, he came to his senses: "He did it on purpose... What exactly does Master want to do?"

He wants to know too!Rong Yunhe gritted his teeth: "Break the formation! Hurry up! There is no time!"

Both of them are people who understand formations. It was not difficult to find the eyes of the formation, but because the formation covers a large area, it took a lot of unnecessary time.

After finding the eye of the formation, Rong Yunhe twisted a stone in his hand, raised his hand and threw it towards the eye of the formation.

After a while, the formation broke.

A flock of birds in the forest ahead were startled by the fight and flew away, Xie Jin hurried towards that direction, the soil covered with fallen leaves was dripping with blood all the way.

Xie Jin wished he could teleport there.

But before he arrived, the movement ahead disappeared, and a large piece of trees in the forest fell down, presenting a scene of spreading from the middle position.

In the end, Xie Jin only saw Zhai Jing close his lips, and the corners of his lips fell back with a smile. The snowy hair hanging on his chest was stained with leaves and blood, drawing a sad arc in the wind filled with the fragrance of grass and leaves.

The next second, the black figure in front of him also knelt down, and the fishy sweetness that could not stop rolling in his throat finally gushed out, scattered all over the ground, staining the soil red.

"Ah Qi!"

Xie Jin's footsteps paused slightly, suppressing the "Master" that was about to blurt out.

He took a few steps over, raised Mu Xiu's face, and felt extremely distressed: "Your Highness... I didn't protect you well, look at me?"

Mu Xiu was stunned, his eyes glazed over

"Ah Qi...?!"

Rong Yunhe's voice on the verge of collapse called back his sanity for a moment, Xie Jin looked over subconsciously

A horrifying scene appeared. Zhai Jing, who was held in Rong Yunhe's arms, aged instantly. The exposed hands and facial skin seemed to have been sucked away from all the moisture in an instant, and they were so dry that there were layers of wrinkles. Withered away, there is no more living beauty, and the snow-white hair loses its luster and turns gray.

Rong Yunhe panicked: "Ah Qi? You... I will save you right away! Can you hold on for a while? I will help you pay for the mistakes you made! I will take you away after you recover..."

Zhai Jing held Rong Yunhe's hand that wanted to straighten his temple hair with a dry hand, with great strength, and said slowly: "You can't save me... No, I have to live for others..."

Rong Yunhe finally caught in his eyes for a moment the unwillingness and stubbornness that belonged to Rong Qi. He was almost exhausted, but his complexion was surprisingly rosy, and the light in his eyes seemed to be able to illuminate the hearts of others.

The world that Zhai Jing sees at this moment is different, and the pain on his body seems to have disappeared, and a thin layer of golden light is shrouded around him.

This is probably the so-called flashback before death.

Rong Yunhe also noticed it, and his eyes turned red instantly: "Don't..."

Zhai Jing didn't speak again, but opened his eyelids and glanced at Rong Yunhe. There seemed to be a faint light in his pupils, and he closed his eyes slowly but resolutely...

Finally, I can see my parents.

Xie Jin closed his eyes, forcibly suppressed the sourness in his eyes, and half-forcibly picked up the unconscious Mu Xiu: "Uncle Master, His Majesty is seriously injured, I will take him down the mountain for treatment first, you... Take care .”

Rong Yunhe was taken aback, Master Uncle?Did he finally recognize this master?

With Mu Xiu on his back, Xie Jin walked down the mountain with heavy steps

Rong Yunhe suddenly said: "Wait."

Xie Jin stopped

Rong Yunhe threw a small porcelain bottle to him, and his voice was unspeakably hoarse: "The mother Gu is dead, and the child Gu can't survive, this medicine can make him recover sooner."

Xie Jin's expression remained calm: "Master, can I trust you?"

Rong Yunhe didn't care anymore, and said in a hoarse voice: "You can ask any doctor who is good at medicine to check, it's up to you whether you need it or not."

Xie Jin was silent for a long while, then pinched it in his hand: "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the dead leaves without stopping.

The sun above the dome of the sky, which was originally covered by clouds, dispelled the surrounding floating clouds at some point, and revealed itself. The hot light shone on the ground and brought intense heat.

When Mu Xiu woke up again, he didn't know how many days had passed.

The sky outside the window was black, and the candles in the room were flickering, and the layout should be an inn in the city.

The scene on the eve of coma flashed before his eyes one after another. Mu Xiu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them again. He had lost all emotions.

Mu Xiu moved his arms hanging on the side of the bed, and his hands were suddenly clenched subconsciously by a pair of hot hands.

Mu Xiu turned his face to look, Xie Jin was lying on the edge of the bed, his lips seemed to be slightly pursed because of his posture, very attractive.

It's just that Mo Xiu doesn't have that interest at the moment.

Speaking of which, today's Xie Jin has not even reached the age of the weak crown, but he is already in his thirties.

He raised his other hand to stroke Xie Jin's hair and said, "I wronged you."

It's a pity that Xie Jin, who was sleeping deeply, couldn't hear anything, and his eyelashes trembled unconsciously.

Judging from the faint blackness in front of his eyes, he didn't know how long he hadn't slept.

Mu Xiu's hand gently stroked his hair, not willing to wake him up, lying back on the pillow and muttering to himself: "Even so, I'm still reluctant to let you go."

"This time, I want to crown you with my own hands."

"When I'm at the end of my life, I'll give you back the breeze and bright moon, and you will be free from worries for the rest of your life."

Xie Jin frowned in his sleep, subconsciously checked the temperature in his heart, and then gradually relaxed.

I want to know you, and live forever...
