Work related
here.As for Lin Lang, only a pool of blood was left behind, and the self-defense dagger she gave her last night.
Regardless of the blood stains, Su Rongrong held the dagger in her hand, regretting and hurting in her heart.
"Princess, there is still one alive here."
Hearing the sound, Su Rongrong ran over immediately. The bodyguard was covered in injuries, his eyes were loose, and he kept muttering to himself, obviously trying to hold his breath.
Su Rongrong felt sore, and leaned over to listen carefully, "The Star of Bliss...Catch Linlang...The Star of Bliss...Catch Lin...Extremely..."
The breath was suddenly cut off, the look in his eyes disappeared, and the guard finally swallowed his last breath.
Su Rongrong only felt that her breath was choked in her chest, she felt great grief and pain, and her heart and mind were broken.Self-blame, guilt, pain, hatred, all kinds of emotions surged up in her mind, causing her body to sway uncontrollably. The guards around her panicked and immediately stepped forward to support her and comfort her to take care of herself.
But Su Rongrong didn't listen to all of this.The death of people around her, Lin Lang's innocent arrest and her life and death being unknown, all of these cast a shadow over Su Rongrong's heart.She finally realized clearly and profoundly the cruelty of all this, and finally fully realized how dangerous the road she was going to take next was, and if she made a slight mistake, she would be smashed to pieces.
The shadow of death is approaching, and Su Rongrong finally understands that she is no longer the child protected by her father when she was a child. Her father has died in the distant Central Plains.Today, her subjects are under the shadow of such death, and she should bear all this.
The unknown of Lin Lang's life and death also made Su Rongrong truly realize that every step she took was related to the lives of many people, and she couldn't make any mistakes.Otherwise, the next time, whoever loses his life will be unknown.
Kucha
After a few more days of traveling, Su Rongrong and the others finally returned.After a few months, it really is neither a thing nor a person.The palace of Kucha was seized, and the king and subjects of Kucha huddled in a small palace.And Su Rongrong, who always smiled gently in the past, also faded away from her innocence, and honed her strength into tenacity.
After finally returning to Kucha, at the gate of the city, the guards who stayed in Kucha immediately greeted him.While showing Su Rongrong the way, he whispered what happened in Kucha since Su Rongrong left.
"After the king succeeded to the throne and the princess left,... a group of men in white joined forces with rebellious officials to occupy the palace. The king fled with the loyal subjects of Kucha and came here..."
"Since the royal palace was seized, Lord Feng and other ministers have been admonishing him every day, but the king is addicted to singing and dancing and refuses to meet..."
"Master Feng tried all kinds of methods, and finally met the king, but the king said that if he found the star of bliss, he could restore the country..."
When Su Rongrong heard the words "Star of Bliss", she subconsciously thought of the woman whose life or death was unknown, and who might even be dead. Her eyes dimmed, and she suppressed the surging emotions. She diverted her attention and continued to listen to the guard's report.
"The Star of Ultimate Bliss is nowhere to be found, Master Feng and others persuaded the King..."
"Master Bai presented a beautiful woman... Your Majesty has not seen his ministers for many days, enjoying the joy of singing and dancing every day..."
Su Rongrong frowned slightly as she listened to the guard's report, and a certain guess in her heart was about to come out, but further confirmation was needed.
Under the leadership of her personal guards, Su Rongrong went to the Qiuci Palace, the current Qiuci Palace, and took a bath in her temporary palace to wash away the dust and fatigue from the journey.Then he called his personal guards, and immediately went to the place where the king's brother, King Kucha, asked to see his brother.
"See the princess." All the guards standing in front of the palace bowed and saluted.
"Excuse me," Su Rongrong said, "I want to see Brother Wang, please let me know."
The two leading guards looked at each other, thinking that although the king said that no one would be seen, Princess Pipa is the king's favorite sister after all, so one of the guards replied: "Yes, princess!"
The palace was full of singing and dancing, and the melodious sounds blended together. When the guards went in to report, the singing and dancing stopped immediately, causing the man on the throne to feel displeased.
The man was about 30 years old, dressed in a yellow dress, and the shoulders of his jacket protruded like a bird's head. Although his appearance was handsome and his clothes were luxurious and refined, it was still difficult to hide the depression in his eyes and the blur of indulgence. The man is the King of Kucha.
Seeing King Qiuci's displeasure, the guards reported tremblingly, "I want to report to Your Majesty, Princess Pipa, please see me."
It was said that there seemed to be a gleam of light in King Qiuci's half-closed eyes, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be no light.He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Didn't I say that, no one will be seen. Tell her to go back, so don't disturb my interest."
The guard was slightly taken aback, and immediately replied: "Yes." Then he got up and backed out.
Su Rongrong was waiting outside the palace, but got the order that Brother Wang did not see her. The conjecture in her heart was confirmed, and she had a feeling that it was true, so she had to go back to her palace and find another way.
……
……
……
After Su Rongrong returned to her palace, she sat quietly for a while, called her personal guards, and said in a deep voice: "Go and ask Master Feng to come over, and tell me that the palace has something to discuss."
"Yes." The guard got the order and left the palace immediately.
Fenghuo came so fast that Su Rongrong wondered if he came on horseback directly after receiving the news.
"My minister sees the princess." Seeing the princess who had finally returned from the Central Plains, Feng Huo saluted very excitedly.
Su Rongrong quickly helped him up, and said: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Master Feng, why don't you come?"
Fenghuo is a middle-aged man in his 40s. The Feng family has been loyal to the Kucha royal family for generations. Fenghuo is also a minister who was highly valued by the former king Zamuhe. Su Rongrong naturally trusts him.
After setting up the Fenghuo, Su Rongrong quickly let him sit down, and ordered the maidservant to serve the tea, and let the guards guard the door, and then asked about a series of changes that happened in Qiuci.
It's not that Su Rongrong doesn't trust her personal guards, but that she seeks to govern in her position. In Fenghuo's position, he can see and understand more things than the personal guards.Moreover, some of Fenghuo's thoughts on the restoration of the country and the current situation of Brother Wang are exactly what Su Rongrong urgently needs to know.
Hearing Su Rongrong's question, Fenghuo couldn't wait to tell everything he knew.The Feng family has been loyal to the King of Kucha for generations, and now that such a big change has happened in Kucha, even the palace of Kucha has been taken away by thieves. As the auxiliary minister, he cannot escape the responsibility.But the most important thing is the current attitude of the king, the king has no intention of restoring the country, he is addicted to singing, dancing and drinking every day, he intends to persuade, but the king turns a blind eye.Fortunately, now that Princess Pipa is returning home, with her persuasion, I believe the king will listen to it no matter what.
Furthermore, if the king is still stupid, at least the royal family of Qiuci still has Princess Pipa...
Fenghuo knew that the last idea was very rebellious, but this idea was the last way before he had nowhere to go.Moreover, in the face of the catastrophe of national subjugation, all obstacles are not obstacles.
After making a sudden decision in his heart, Feng Huo suppressed other thoughts in his mind again, and tried his best to tell all the things he knew, including sending his subordinates to secretly inquire about the movements of the rebels.
Unaware of the various thoughts in the heart of Master Feng who has always been loyal, Su Rongrong listened carefully to everything he said, and the changes in the current situation gradually became clear in her mind.As for Brother Wang's inaction in Fengda population, Su Rongrong could only smile helplessly.
It's hard to say anything more about his elder brother's actions, Su Rongrong could only try his best to comfort him: "Father was killed by a traitor, brother Wang mourned too much, and such a change happened in the country, brother Wang can't turn around for a while. I believe that after a while On this day, Brother Wang has recovered and cheered up, and with the assistance of Lord Feng and other loyal ministers, he will definitely be able to complete the great cause of restoring the country and regain the palace of Qiuci."
When Feng Huo heard the words, he naturally expressed his loyalty again, "I hope that Her Royal Highness can persuade the king a lot, so that the king can cheer up as soon as possible and complete the great cause of restoring Kucha. In this way, even if the humble minister dies, he can go to see the king with peace of mind. .”
In this way, Su Rongrong gave another meal of comfort and encouragement to arouse the great ambition of this loyal Master Feng who has been repeatedly attacked by his brother Wang recently.
After finally sending Master Feng away, Su Rongrong who stayed alone in the hall took out a chess set and set it up.When she finally stopped, black pieces appeared on the chessboard surrounding white pieces, and white pieces were mixed with black pieces...
Sacrifice to heaven
The palace of Qiuci was full of singing and dancing, and the King of Qiuci was addicted to the symphony of dance and music.
But today, King Kucha seems to have a strange interest, because the minister presented a team of beautiful dancers who are said to be able to dance in exotic places and have excellent dancing posture.
As soon as the music sounded, a group of dancers in white dance clothes rushed out like flowing water. The dancers danced with the music, their dancing postures were enchanting and charming, extremely soft and charming, with a strong exotic style, which made the king of Kucha very happy, especially It is the masked dancer in the middle, with a beautiful figure and a captivating dance.
After the song ended and the dance stopped, all the dancers bowed to salute. King Kucha clapped his hands in satisfaction, stood up involuntarily, walked to the masked dancer at the head, and said with a smile: "Your dance is so beautiful, you should let me Take a look, Wang, don't you look so beautiful..."
King Qiuci's voice stopped abruptly, and he said angrily, "Why are you?!"
Holding the veil in his hand, King Qiuci looked angrily at the dancer in front of him, and this dancer was Su Rongrong, the pipa princess who had just returned to China.
Suppressing his anger, he waved his hands to make the other dancers retreat, King Qiuci scolded angrily: "You are a majestic princess, wearing dancer's clothes and coming here to dance, how decent it is."
Seeing that the veil had been taken off, Su Rongrong didn't care, she stood up calmly, and when she saw Brother Wang scolding her, she replied: "If Brother Wang didn't want to see me, why would my sister make such a bad move?"
Su Rongrong was also full of depression, these days she begged to see Brother Wang many times, but was kept out of the door every time, if she hadn't made such a bad plan today, she didn't know how long it would take to see her brother Wang.
King Qiuci still loved this sister very much. Although he was angry with her for doing such an inappropriate thing, but thinking that she just wanted to see himself, he still said: "I have seen you, you came back from the Central Plains, and you were tired from traveling all the way. Go to your own palace and rest well."
Su Rongrong knew that her elder brother loved her, so she couldn't help but softly said: "Brother, how can my sister rest in peace now? Now, the Kucha palace has been taken, and the king and subjects of Kucha are hiding in this small world. Brother Wang, you should call Minister, it is better to discuss it, and take Qiuci back as soon as possible."
In the first half of the sentence, Su Rongrong still called her elder brother affectionately like when she was a child, and in the second half of the sentence when it came to the state affairs of Kucha, Su Rongrong couldn't help being solemn.
Unexpectedly, when King Qiuci heard this, he seemed to be stepped on a sore foot, and reprimanded in a cold voice: "This king has his own ideas about this matter, so there is no need for you to make irresponsible remarks. You can answer this question now." You go to the palace."
Hearing what Brother Wang said, Su Rongrong couldn't help becoming tough, "Brother Wang's so-called idea is to enjoy singing and dancing every day, not seeing ministers, not listening to advice, not discussing state affairs, and pinning hopes on an illusory treasure, bliss on the star."
Being so blatantly accused by his sister, King Qiuci was furious. He took out the sword hanging at the side, pointed at Su Rongrong and said angrily: "Who gave you the courage to talk to this king like this. Do you really think that this king is not Dare to kill you?"
Su Rongrong closed her eyes, exposed the weak spot between her neck, and said without hesitation: "If the death of my younger sister can cheer up Brother Wang, my younger sister is willing to die!"
King Qiuci was so angry at these words that he threw down his sword and said in a cold voice: "You really think I am the king and dare not kill you. Come! Princess Pipa is worried about state affairs and is willing to pray for the heavens for Qiuci. Please go to the Tiantai .”
Following King Qiuci's call, several guards came into the palace. After hearing King Qiuci's order, they were all stunned and hesitated to do anything.Under the reprimand of King Qiuci, several guards made a frightened gesture to bet on Princess Pipa.
Su Rongrong seemed to be hurt by her brother's ruthlessness, she looked disheartened, she didn't make things difficult for these guards, and was escorted to the altar obediently.
Could it be that Su Rongrong is really going to be buried here today?
...This is the dividing line to go to the Tiantai...
……
……
In the midst of ancient singing, Su Rongrong was dressed in white and was tied to the altar, with piles of firewood piled up beside her. The people below were dressed in ancient sacrificial costumes, and kept dancing to pray to the gods, hoping to convey to the gods their wishes.
There is an ancient custom in Kucha. Whenever Kucha is facing a huge crisis, a woman must be sacrificed to heaven in the form of burning to pray for help to tide over the difficulties.In order to show the importance attached to Kucha by the princes and nobles of Kucha, these saints who offer sacrifices to heaven are often aristocratic women.Su Rongrong is naturally also on the list of saintess candidates.In the history of Qiuci, there are only a handful of saints offering sacrifices to heaven, so Su Rongrong has never paid attention to this custom.
Now, Su Rongrong is tied to the altar, seeing that the hymn is about to be sung, and the most important lighting ceremony is about to take place, but Su Rongrong doesn't move at all. Could it be that she is really waiting to die?
Suddenly, a gust of wind and sand hit, and the priests who worshiped were fascinated by the sudden wind and sand, and they all stopped and rubbed their eyes. Thinking of the virtuous and virtuous Princess Pipa, who is loyal and admonishing, they couldn't help thinking: Could it be that the sky is not May the princess die just like this, so this strong wind prevents the princess from offering sacrifices to heaven?
And if Su Rongrong, the key figure of the pipa princess, knew what the priests were thinking at the moment, she would definitely say no to them.Because this is obviously the wind and sand pushed up by a person with strong martial arts intentionally using internal force.
Sure enough, a young man flew out of the wind and sand, swept Su Rongrong straight away, and left. Su Rongrong felt the familiar feeling of the people around her, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.
As soon as he landed, a woman in blue and yellow Central Plains costume rushed out. The woman wanted to hug her and said in a crying voice: "Sister Rong Rong, I miss you so much. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I left you behind." Yes, Sister Rongrong..."
Su Rongrong's heart choked, but she dodged the woman's hand to hug her, and said in a strange and defensive way, "Who are you? Rongrong? Who is Rongrong?"
Hearing that, except for Su Rongrong, the faces of the two men and one woman present were all shocked, and the woman who was about to hug Su Rongrong just now was even more surprised to the point of panic. The feeling of slipping from the peak of joy in an instant made her hold on to the man beside her, It was the man who snatched Su Rongrong away just now, and said: "Brother Chu, she, she is Sister Rongrong, right? She is obviously Sister Rongrong."
Feeling pity in her heart, Su Rongrong's expression remained unchanged, but she said sharply: "Who are you? Why do you obstruct the sacrifice to heaven?"
What is the cause of this accident?And who are the two men and one woman who kidnapped Su Rongrong?
old friend comes
When Jin Chan escaped from her shell and left, Su Rongrong once thought, what would it be like if they met again?She had guessed the answer, but found that she would not know until that day.
But no matter how she conjectured, she never expected to meet again like this, meeting each other but not recognizing each other.
Song Tian'er is the first woman she has met in so many years who can disregard other friendships, who can talk about her daughter's worries and fight wantonly without any scruples. She is the sister she can love without any scruples. The sister she really cared about.
Chu Liuxiang was someone she had a ignorant affection for and a heart for.He is humorous and witty, with strong martial arts skills. He has saved her many times and avenged her father.She was grateful to him, and even had an ignorant love for him.But at some point, she gradually stopped thinking about him, maybe because in the face of the country's destruction, she couldn't think about the love between her children.
But because of this, she couldn't involve them even more.Whether it is for the spirit of the father in heaven, or for the people of Kucha, Kucha must be restored, and all of this is destined to require the lives and blood of countless people to pave the way.She, Su Rongrong, as the princess of Pipa in Kucha, the restoration of the country is everything she must bear as the royal family of Kucha. She will never escape from all these, and she will stick to it until the last moment.However, as a simple Su Rongrong, she would never and would not want to involve her friends in these bloody storms, even if Big Brother Chu is skilled in martial arts and resourceful, even if Tian'er is proficient in disguise and eccentric.
No matter how Su Rongrong's thoughts changed, she still maintained a strange attitude.And this point made Song Tian'er, who finally found Su Rongrong, almost collapsed, so she couldn't accept it.
Obviously, she looks exactly like Sister Rongrong, how could she not be.
To Song Tian'er, Su Rongrong is like her own sister. Although the two of them haven't really known each other for a long time, Su Rongrong undoubtedly fully fits the image of her sister in her mind, gentle, kind, considerate and tolerant.To Su Rongrong, she can act like a baby at will, because Su Rongrong will tolerate her and satisfy her.She is no longer alone when she is away from home, because Su Rongrong will take care of her, although she is no longer a child who needs to be taken care of.If there is danger, Su Rongrong will stand in front of her... Even when cooking, Su Rongrong will smile and say that Tian'er's cooking is delicious...
But such a beautiful person, because of her instigation, went to the juggling box, and was never found again...
"Aren't you really Sister Rongrong?" Song Tian'er looked at Su Rongrong and muttered, her eyes full of expectation.
Su Rongrong was silent.
Soon, the group of priests realized that something was wrong, and they surrounded Chu Liuxiang and the three of them together with Lord Fenghuo who had brought people to rescue them.
Feng Huo led people to protect Su Rongrong immediately, then bowed and saluted: "My minister is late to save you, please forgive me, princess."
Su Rongrong said in a deep voice: "Master Feng, please hurry up, I'm fine."
Feng Huo felt relieved and said: "Come here, escort the princess back to the palace."
Hearing this, Su Rongrong wanted to tell Feng Huo to let Chu Liuxiang and the others go, but suddenly out of the corner of her eye, she saw a Sequoia man who shouldn't be here, Su Rongrong was relieved, and silently led her escort back to the palace.
Feng Huo's questioning voice came from the ear, "Who are you? Why are you making trouble to worship the heavens and arresting the princess?"
Then, as expected, Zhongyuan's red voice came from the ear, "Lord Feng, they are..."
...back to the palace...
……
……
At the gate of the palace, Su Rongrong waved back the group of soldiers escorting her, and walked back to the palace slowly.
Walking this gradually familiar road, Su Rongrong was a little absent-minded, but at the corner, her mind was shaken again.
"It's you……"
"Rong Rong..."
After being dazed for a while, Su Rongrong realized that this was not a place to talk, so she went forward to lead the woman in the blue palace dress, and took her to the place she found while wandering.
They were silent all the way, and when they reached the place, the two of them were silent for a while, but it was the woman in the blue palace dress who spoke first.
"I thought I'd never see you again..."
As soon as the words fell, the woman in the blue palace dress stepped forward and hugged Su Rongrong, and buried her head on Su Rongrong's shoulder.
"Lin Lang..." Unexpectedly, she would do this, Su Rongrong was slightly stunned, but when she realized it, she hugged the woman lightly with her left hand, and patted her back with her right hand to comfort her.
That's right, this woman with Qiushui as god jade as bones, lotus as face and willows as eyebrows is Lin Lang who was captured by the killer in white and Su Rongrong thought she might have died.
When Lin Lang finally calmed down, Su Rongrong learned about her that day from her mouth.
It turned out that after Su Rongrong left, a group of men in white suddenly rushed out, and the guards died one after another trying to protect Lin Lang.And those men in white somehow knew that the Star of Bliss was on her body, so instead of killing her, they knocked her unconscious and took her away without any explanation.The group of men in white probably wanted to take her to a safe place for further interrogation. Unexpectedly, they met the caravan that Su Rongrong had entrusted to escort the abducted girl home. The leader of the caravan saw her and thought the man in white was a kidnapped girl Human traffickers, and the man in white may want to kill people, so the two sides fought.Then, he met a minister surnamed Bai, who ordered his guards to rescue her, and then dedicated her to King Qiuci.
After hearing Linlang's story, Su Rongrong felt mixed feelings, including the joy that Linlang was rescued, and the unknown annoyance that Linlang has now become her brother's concubine.
Su Rongrong didn't know where this unknown boredom came from, and thought that maybe it was because of the many conspiracies and fights in the palace, she didn't want Lin Lang, a pure and kind woman, to be trapped in it.
After thinking about it, Su Rongrong also told Lin Lang about her identity, and said, "I didn't expect that you would become my sister-in-law."
After Lin Lang heard her words, there seemed to be an inexplicable emotion flashing in her eyes, and her face was a bit complicated, and even her voice subconsciously lowered, "Yeah, I didn't expect that we are so destined."
Su Rongrong didn't understand why she was suddenly depressed, but she subconsciously didn't ask, but told her that the gemstone she gave her that day was the Star of Bliss, and told her that this gemstone was related to the legend of the treasure, and reminded her not to put These are spoken.
Linlang looked at her with a smile and said, "I see. These are illusory, but once treasures or something are involved, there will always be turmoil. Don't worry, I understand this kind of thing, and I will never set myself on fire of."
Don't want
Hearing the news that his younger sister, Princess Pipa, was rescued by some strangers from the Central Plains during her sacrifice to heaven, the King of Kucha didn't react much. He simply waved his hand to let the guards go down, and then continued to indulge in singing and dancing.And Su Rongrong seemed a little chilled, she didn't react much, and went straight back to the palace to rest.
Late at night, in the palace of Princess Pipa.
The maidservant who was watching the night fell asleep at some point, but at this moment, Su Rongrong, who should have fallen asleep, was awake. Not only was she awake, even her pajamas had been changed into her usual palace attire.
She seemed to be waiting for someone.
There was no lamp in the hall, and relying on the faint light emitted by the luminous pearl on the table covered with a layer of light veil, it neither attracted the attention of people outside the hall, but could barely see the inside of the hall.
At this time, there was a rustling sound from the hall. If you didn't pay attention carefully, you would think it was some small animal gnawing on something.Then, suddenly there were a few light footsteps.
Su Rongrong obviously heard it, and this person seems to be the reason why she hasn't gone to bed until now, because she said: "You are here."
The visitor was hidden in the dark, so he couldn't see his body shape, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.Only when he opened his mouth did he realize that this person was a man, and he said in a deep voice, "You were shocked today."
It was rare for Su Rongrong to relax, and even had a gentle smile on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time, and said softly: "I'm fine, today is going well."
The man said again: "Can those people from the Central Plains today be taken for their own use?"
When Su Rongrong heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly: "They are friends I met in the Central Plains, and they are all from the Jianghu. I don't want to involve them."
Hearing what she said, the man pondered for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, then let them leave as soon as possible."
Su Rongrong was relieved when she received the man's release reply, and at the same time decided to find a way to send Chu Liuxiang and the others away as soon as possible, otherwise they might be brought in by the people behind the scenes and disturb the mess.
"By the way, I got something from the new princess Linlang on the way back. She is an orphan girl I rescued. In order to repay me, she gave me that thing. Later, she was taken away because of that thing. Bai Wanping was rescued by mistake." Su Rongrong looked at the things wrapped in brocade handkerchiefs on her feet and said.
Not wanting anyone to doubt Lin Lang, Su Rongrong added, "She is a good girl with a kind heart and a willingness to repay her kindness."
The man listened carefully, without asking what that thing was, reached out and picked up the thing that was close at hand and wrapped in a brocade handkerchief, and put it in his arms.
The man said: "My manpower is almost ready, you just came back, and the manpower has not been contacted, so don't participate in this operation."
Su Rongrong frowned when she heard the words, and said worriedly: "No, wait a little longer. The time is not ripe yet, maybe there are still people hiding in the dark and not jumping out. Moreover, with more strength, there is more chance of winning."
The man was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Then wait a little longer..."
……the next day……
……
……
On the second day, Su Rongrong did not go to the palace of Qiuci to ask for an interview as usual, maybe it was her brother who blurted out yesterday's sacrifice to heaven and the usual enjoyment afterwards that made her heartbroken, so today she wandered around the palace uncharacteristically.
Walking, Su Rongrong accidentally came to the place where Lin Lang was talking yesterday, but saw a woman in a yellow palace dress in front of her.This familiar figure, as expected, was Lin Lang.
Lin Lang turned her head and saw her, and said to Su Rongrong who was walking slowly: "I don't know where you are in the palace, and I'm sorry to disturb you, so I just came here to have a look, thinking maybe you will come too ,” she said, lowered her head, and continued with a little surprise: “I didn’t expect you to come.”
Su Rongrong felt sorry for her repeated sufferings, and now she was alone in this scheming palace, and said: "I won't disturb me, as long as I'm here, you can come if you want."
"Okay." Lin Lang looked at Su Rongrong and replied softly.
The two found a place to sit next to each other, Su Rongrong said: "You must remember in the palace that you must be on guard against others. Although I don't know this, I also know that the harem is not a peaceful place. You have to pay more attention to it. Be careful. Although I am brother Wang's younger sister, I can't meddle in my brother's harem, so I can't help you."
"I see."
With the same gentle tone, Su Rongrong knew that she was looking at her, but she still didn't turn her head to look at her, but hesitated, and said every word carefully, "You, these days, Brother Wang is the only one who favors you, everyone in the harem Maybe you already feel dissatisfied with you. So, you'd better persuade Brother Wang to go to other concubines, lest they will be dissatisfied and trip you up."
After finishing speaking, Su Rongrong herself felt very uncomfortable, and worried that Lin Lang thought she was dissatisfied with her, so she turned her head and kept paying attention to her expression, feeling a little inexplicably nervous in her heart.
In fact, there is another reason for Su Rongrong to say this, because Brother Wang is obsessed with pleasure and does not listen to the courtiers' advice. When the officials were dissatisfied, Brother Wang might not be able to keep her.But Su Rongrong would rather Lin Lang misunderstood than tell her the reason, but she just didn't want to trouble her too much.
Su Rongrong looked at Lin Lang nervously. Seeing that she kept her head down and said nothing, she thought she had really misunderstood, and was about to explain, but she suddenly raised her head with a sly smile, and she couldn't help saying in amazement: "Are you Pretending?"
Seeing Su Rongrong like this, Linlang was worried that she would be offended, so she quickly suppressed her smile, looked into her eyes seriously and said, "I believe in you. Rongrong, I believe that you will not harm me."
Stared at by Lin Lang's sincere eyes, Su Rongrong's heart warmed up, she seriously planned for one person, and gained the wholehearted trust of the other person, which made Su Rongrong feel a little happy in her heart.
And Linlang's trust also made Su Rongrong determined to continue, saying: "Also, Linlang, I hope you can help me persuade Brother Wang to see the courtiers more and listen to their advice."
But seeing Lin Lang smiling like a flower in full bloom, Su Rongrong couldn't help but choke her breath, she said: "I'm very happy, Rongrong, I'm very happy, I can finally help you."
This remark made Su Rongrong suddenly think of that night in the desert, and the woman in Tsing Yi who was dedicated to repaying her kindness. With a smile on her lips, she said softly: "Lin Lang, in fact, you have helped me a lot..."
Do not know
After parting with Lin Lang, Su Rongrong didn't go back to her palace, nor did she try to see her brother Wang, instead she walked to the gate of the palace thoughtfully.
Su Rongrong followed Chu Liuxiang for a period of time in the Central Plains, and saw how he peeled the cocoons from a mess, and how he found out the real murderer Wuhua step by step. Based on her understanding of Chu Liuxiang, she knew that yesterday's scene could not win Chu Liuxiang's trust at all, and could not let him I believe she is not the Su Rongrong he knew.
Therefore, Chu Liuxiang will definitely find an opportunity to meet her and find evidence to prove whether she is Su Rongrong.Su Rongrong thought with certainty.
And according to Master Fenghuo's character of being loyal to the country, he will never let go of Chu Liuxiang, who in his eyes are capable people.
Chu Liuxiang wanted to see her, so she would go along with the flow and agree to Master Fenghuo's request to stay.Therefore, I believe that soon, Chu Liuxiang will see her in a legitimate way.
However, Su Rongrong didn't want to wait for him to come.
Kucha seems to be calm now, but in fact, under this calm lake, various forces are about to move around, playing games with each other.If Chu Liuxiang and the others stay here, they may become pawns of a certain party's game anytime and anywhere.She believes that Chu Liuxiang's ability is enough to escape, but Song Tian'er is different, her martial arts are low, she only has cleverness, and her personality is straightforward and simple, it is impossible for Su Rongrong to see the danger spread to this sister she really loves.
Therefore, Su Rongrong chose to meet Chu Liuxiang.Either, they tricked Chu Liuxiang into thinking they had confessed their mistakes and left; or, they were found out.
After leaving the palace gate, Su Rongrong came to Fenghuo's mansion.
Upon hearing Su Rongrong's arrival, Feng Huo hurried out to greet her.
Welcoming Su Rongrong into the mansion, invited the lord to the seat, and after serving tea, Feng Huo asked suspiciously: "The princess was frightened yesterday, why come here in a hurry today, as long as I send someone to call, the old minister will go to the palace to meet the princess." Now, why should the princess make an extra trip?"
Su Rongrong smiled slightly, and said: "There is nothing serious about my palace. Besides, Master Fenghuo is busy with government affairs, so I don't want to disturb you too much. It's just that I was rescued by those heroes from the Central Plains yesterday, and I want to thank them face to face."
Hearing this, Feng Huo laughed and said: "It's a coincidence. Yesterday, I saw those strong men with martial arts skills and kindness to the princess. I thought that these strong men might be of use to me in Kucha when the country was in crisis. , so keep them in the house.”
"Coincidentally," Su Rongrong said with a smile, "then please ask Master Feng to invite them out."
"Yes." Feng Huo responded and went to invite him in person.
After a while, the three of Chu Liuxiang came together with Zhongyuan Dianhong.
Su Rongrong perfectly played the role of a princess who came to thank her. She greeted her first, then smiled with three points of grace, three points of nobility, and four points of gentleness, and thanked her: "I am Princess Pipa of Kucha. Yesterday, I was really grateful for the rescue of several strong men, otherwise I would have lost my life in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."
Chu Liuxiang said calmly, "Chu Liuxiang, here are my good friends Hu Tiehua, Zhongyuan Dianhong, and Song Tian'er. Princess, you are welcome, as martial arts practitioners should be like this."
Seeing Su Rongrong's face, Song Tian'er at the side couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you really Sister Rongrong?"
Su Rongrong pretended to be puzzled, and asked: "You have been calling me Rongrong since yesterday, is it true that I look so similar to that girl named Rongrong?"
The man named Hu Tiehua who came with Chu Liuxiang and the others looked at Su Rongrong, his eyes flickering, and said, "It is said that they are exactly the same."
Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose and said, "It's the same. Does the princess have a twin sister?"
Chu Liuxiang didn't seem to have any doubts, but simply asked.
Su Rongrong replied affirmatively: "No, I am the only concubine of my mother."
Song Tian'er showed disappointment in her eyes, and Su Rongrong said again: "That Miss Su separated from you, didn't she?"
Chu Liuxiang replied: "A few days ago, my friend Su Rongrong disappeared in the desert. We searched without a trace. I thought she might have returned to the Central Plains, so I planned to go back to the Central Plains, but I accidentally saw a mirage of the princess. I thought the princess was the princess. Rong Rong came here."
When Su Rongrong heard the mirage, she became more enlightened, no wonder she dressed up as a man along the way and deliberately covered her whereabouts, they still came here.Don't do what he thinks, Su Rongrong said:
Regardless of the blood stains, Su Rongrong held the dagger in her hand, regretting and hurting in her heart.
"Princess, there is still one alive here."
Hearing the sound, Su Rongrong ran over immediately. The bodyguard was covered in injuries, his eyes were loose, and he kept muttering to himself, obviously trying to hold his breath.
Su Rongrong felt sore, and leaned over to listen carefully, "The Star of Bliss...Catch Linlang...The Star of Bliss...Catch Lin...Extremely..."
The breath was suddenly cut off, the look in his eyes disappeared, and the guard finally swallowed his last breath.
Su Rongrong only felt that her breath was choked in her chest, she felt great grief and pain, and her heart and mind were broken.Self-blame, guilt, pain, hatred, all kinds of emotions surged up in her mind, causing her body to sway uncontrollably. The guards around her panicked and immediately stepped forward to support her and comfort her to take care of herself.
But Su Rongrong didn't listen to all of this.The death of people around her, Lin Lang's innocent arrest and her life and death being unknown, all of these cast a shadow over Su Rongrong's heart.She finally realized clearly and profoundly the cruelty of all this, and finally fully realized how dangerous the road she was going to take next was, and if she made a slight mistake, she would be smashed to pieces.
The shadow of death is approaching, and Su Rongrong finally understands that she is no longer the child protected by her father when she was a child. Her father has died in the distant Central Plains.Today, her subjects are under the shadow of such death, and she should bear all this.
The unknown of Lin Lang's life and death also made Su Rongrong truly realize that every step she took was related to the lives of many people, and she couldn't make any mistakes.Otherwise, the next time, whoever loses his life will be unknown.
Kucha
After a few more days of traveling, Su Rongrong and the others finally returned.After a few months, it really is neither a thing nor a person.The palace of Kucha was seized, and the king and subjects of Kucha huddled in a small palace.And Su Rongrong, who always smiled gently in the past, also faded away from her innocence, and honed her strength into tenacity.
After finally returning to Kucha, at the gate of the city, the guards who stayed in Kucha immediately greeted him.While showing Su Rongrong the way, he whispered what happened in Kucha since Su Rongrong left.
"After the king succeeded to the throne and the princess left,... a group of men in white joined forces with rebellious officials to occupy the palace. The king fled with the loyal subjects of Kucha and came here..."
"Since the royal palace was seized, Lord Feng and other ministers have been admonishing him every day, but the king is addicted to singing and dancing and refuses to meet..."
"Master Feng tried all kinds of methods, and finally met the king, but the king said that if he found the star of bliss, he could restore the country..."
When Su Rongrong heard the words "Star of Bliss", she subconsciously thought of the woman whose life or death was unknown, and who might even be dead. Her eyes dimmed, and she suppressed the surging emotions. She diverted her attention and continued to listen to the guard's report.
"The Star of Ultimate Bliss is nowhere to be found, Master Feng and others persuaded the King..."
"Master Bai presented a beautiful woman... Your Majesty has not seen his ministers for many days, enjoying the joy of singing and dancing every day..."
Su Rongrong frowned slightly as she listened to the guard's report, and a certain guess in her heart was about to come out, but further confirmation was needed.
Under the leadership of her personal guards, Su Rongrong went to the Qiuci Palace, the current Qiuci Palace, and took a bath in her temporary palace to wash away the dust and fatigue from the journey.Then he called his personal guards, and immediately went to the place where the king's brother, King Kucha, asked to see his brother.
"See the princess." All the guards standing in front of the palace bowed and saluted.
"Excuse me," Su Rongrong said, "I want to see Brother Wang, please let me know."
The two leading guards looked at each other, thinking that although the king said that no one would be seen, Princess Pipa is the king's favorite sister after all, so one of the guards replied: "Yes, princess!"
The palace was full of singing and dancing, and the melodious sounds blended together. When the guards went in to report, the singing and dancing stopped immediately, causing the man on the throne to feel displeased.
The man was about 30 years old, dressed in a yellow dress, and the shoulders of his jacket protruded like a bird's head. Although his appearance was handsome and his clothes were luxurious and refined, it was still difficult to hide the depression in his eyes and the blur of indulgence. The man is the King of Kucha.
Seeing King Qiuci's displeasure, the guards reported tremblingly, "I want to report to Your Majesty, Princess Pipa, please see me."
It was said that there seemed to be a gleam of light in King Qiuci's half-closed eyes, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be no light.He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Didn't I say that, no one will be seen. Tell her to go back, so don't disturb my interest."
The guard was slightly taken aback, and immediately replied: "Yes." Then he got up and backed out.
Su Rongrong was waiting outside the palace, but got the order that Brother Wang did not see her. The conjecture in her heart was confirmed, and she had a feeling that it was true, so she had to go back to her palace and find another way.
……
……
……
After Su Rongrong returned to her palace, she sat quietly for a while, called her personal guards, and said in a deep voice: "Go and ask Master Feng to come over, and tell me that the palace has something to discuss."
"Yes." The guard got the order and left the palace immediately.
Fenghuo came so fast that Su Rongrong wondered if he came on horseback directly after receiving the news.
"My minister sees the princess." Seeing the princess who had finally returned from the Central Plains, Feng Huo saluted very excitedly.
Su Rongrong quickly helped him up, and said: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Master Feng, why don't you come?"
Fenghuo is a middle-aged man in his 40s. The Feng family has been loyal to the Kucha royal family for generations. Fenghuo is also a minister who was highly valued by the former king Zamuhe. Su Rongrong naturally trusts him.
After setting up the Fenghuo, Su Rongrong quickly let him sit down, and ordered the maidservant to serve the tea, and let the guards guard the door, and then asked about a series of changes that happened in Qiuci.
It's not that Su Rongrong doesn't trust her personal guards, but that she seeks to govern in her position. In Fenghuo's position, he can see and understand more things than the personal guards.Moreover, some of Fenghuo's thoughts on the restoration of the country and the current situation of Brother Wang are exactly what Su Rongrong urgently needs to know.
Hearing Su Rongrong's question, Fenghuo couldn't wait to tell everything he knew.The Feng family has been loyal to the King of Kucha for generations, and now that such a big change has happened in Kucha, even the palace of Kucha has been taken away by thieves. As the auxiliary minister, he cannot escape the responsibility.But the most important thing is the current attitude of the king, the king has no intention of restoring the country, he is addicted to singing, dancing and drinking every day, he intends to persuade, but the king turns a blind eye.Fortunately, now that Princess Pipa is returning home, with her persuasion, I believe the king will listen to it no matter what.
Furthermore, if the king is still stupid, at least the royal family of Qiuci still has Princess Pipa...
Fenghuo knew that the last idea was very rebellious, but this idea was the last way before he had nowhere to go.Moreover, in the face of the catastrophe of national subjugation, all obstacles are not obstacles.
After making a sudden decision in his heart, Feng Huo suppressed other thoughts in his mind again, and tried his best to tell all the things he knew, including sending his subordinates to secretly inquire about the movements of the rebels.
Unaware of the various thoughts in the heart of Master Feng who has always been loyal, Su Rongrong listened carefully to everything he said, and the changes in the current situation gradually became clear in her mind.As for Brother Wang's inaction in Fengda population, Su Rongrong could only smile helplessly.
It's hard to say anything more about his elder brother's actions, Su Rongrong could only try his best to comfort him: "Father was killed by a traitor, brother Wang mourned too much, and such a change happened in the country, brother Wang can't turn around for a while. I believe that after a while On this day, Brother Wang has recovered and cheered up, and with the assistance of Lord Feng and other loyal ministers, he will definitely be able to complete the great cause of restoring the country and regain the palace of Qiuci."
When Feng Huo heard the words, he naturally expressed his loyalty again, "I hope that Her Royal Highness can persuade the king a lot, so that the king can cheer up as soon as possible and complete the great cause of restoring Kucha. In this way, even if the humble minister dies, he can go to see the king with peace of mind. .”
In this way, Su Rongrong gave another meal of comfort and encouragement to arouse the great ambition of this loyal Master Feng who has been repeatedly attacked by his brother Wang recently.
After finally sending Master Feng away, Su Rongrong who stayed alone in the hall took out a chess set and set it up.When she finally stopped, black pieces appeared on the chessboard surrounding white pieces, and white pieces were mixed with black pieces...
Sacrifice to heaven
The palace of Qiuci was full of singing and dancing, and the King of Qiuci was addicted to the symphony of dance and music.
But today, King Kucha seems to have a strange interest, because the minister presented a team of beautiful dancers who are said to be able to dance in exotic places and have excellent dancing posture.
As soon as the music sounded, a group of dancers in white dance clothes rushed out like flowing water. The dancers danced with the music, their dancing postures were enchanting and charming, extremely soft and charming, with a strong exotic style, which made the king of Kucha very happy, especially It is the masked dancer in the middle, with a beautiful figure and a captivating dance.
After the song ended and the dance stopped, all the dancers bowed to salute. King Kucha clapped his hands in satisfaction, stood up involuntarily, walked to the masked dancer at the head, and said with a smile: "Your dance is so beautiful, you should let me Take a look, Wang, don't you look so beautiful..."
King Qiuci's voice stopped abruptly, and he said angrily, "Why are you?!"
Holding the veil in his hand, King Qiuci looked angrily at the dancer in front of him, and this dancer was Su Rongrong, the pipa princess who had just returned to China.
Suppressing his anger, he waved his hands to make the other dancers retreat, King Qiuci scolded angrily: "You are a majestic princess, wearing dancer's clothes and coming here to dance, how decent it is."
Seeing that the veil had been taken off, Su Rongrong didn't care, she stood up calmly, and when she saw Brother Wang scolding her, she replied: "If Brother Wang didn't want to see me, why would my sister make such a bad move?"
Su Rongrong was also full of depression, these days she begged to see Brother Wang many times, but was kept out of the door every time, if she hadn't made such a bad plan today, she didn't know how long it would take to see her brother Wang.
King Qiuci still loved this sister very much. Although he was angry with her for doing such an inappropriate thing, but thinking that she just wanted to see himself, he still said: "I have seen you, you came back from the Central Plains, and you were tired from traveling all the way. Go to your own palace and rest well."
Su Rongrong knew that her elder brother loved her, so she couldn't help but softly said: "Brother, how can my sister rest in peace now? Now, the Kucha palace has been taken, and the king and subjects of Kucha are hiding in this small world. Brother Wang, you should call Minister, it is better to discuss it, and take Qiuci back as soon as possible."
In the first half of the sentence, Su Rongrong still called her elder brother affectionately like when she was a child, and in the second half of the sentence when it came to the state affairs of Kucha, Su Rongrong couldn't help being solemn.
Unexpectedly, when King Qiuci heard this, he seemed to be stepped on a sore foot, and reprimanded in a cold voice: "This king has his own ideas about this matter, so there is no need for you to make irresponsible remarks. You can answer this question now." You go to the palace."
Hearing what Brother Wang said, Su Rongrong couldn't help becoming tough, "Brother Wang's so-called idea is to enjoy singing and dancing every day, not seeing ministers, not listening to advice, not discussing state affairs, and pinning hopes on an illusory treasure, bliss on the star."
Being so blatantly accused by his sister, King Qiuci was furious. He took out the sword hanging at the side, pointed at Su Rongrong and said angrily: "Who gave you the courage to talk to this king like this. Do you really think that this king is not Dare to kill you?"
Su Rongrong closed her eyes, exposed the weak spot between her neck, and said without hesitation: "If the death of my younger sister can cheer up Brother Wang, my younger sister is willing to die!"
King Qiuci was so angry at these words that he threw down his sword and said in a cold voice: "You really think I am the king and dare not kill you. Come! Princess Pipa is worried about state affairs and is willing to pray for the heavens for Qiuci. Please go to the Tiantai .”
Following King Qiuci's call, several guards came into the palace. After hearing King Qiuci's order, they were all stunned and hesitated to do anything.Under the reprimand of King Qiuci, several guards made a frightened gesture to bet on Princess Pipa.
Su Rongrong seemed to be hurt by her brother's ruthlessness, she looked disheartened, she didn't make things difficult for these guards, and was escorted to the altar obediently.
Could it be that Su Rongrong is really going to be buried here today?
...This is the dividing line to go to the Tiantai...
……
……
In the midst of ancient singing, Su Rongrong was dressed in white and was tied to the altar, with piles of firewood piled up beside her. The people below were dressed in ancient sacrificial costumes, and kept dancing to pray to the gods, hoping to convey to the gods their wishes.
There is an ancient custom in Kucha. Whenever Kucha is facing a huge crisis, a woman must be sacrificed to heaven in the form of burning to pray for help to tide over the difficulties.In order to show the importance attached to Kucha by the princes and nobles of Kucha, these saints who offer sacrifices to heaven are often aristocratic women.Su Rongrong is naturally also on the list of saintess candidates.In the history of Qiuci, there are only a handful of saints offering sacrifices to heaven, so Su Rongrong has never paid attention to this custom.
Now, Su Rongrong is tied to the altar, seeing that the hymn is about to be sung, and the most important lighting ceremony is about to take place, but Su Rongrong doesn't move at all. Could it be that she is really waiting to die?
Suddenly, a gust of wind and sand hit, and the priests who worshiped were fascinated by the sudden wind and sand, and they all stopped and rubbed their eyes. Thinking of the virtuous and virtuous Princess Pipa, who is loyal and admonishing, they couldn't help thinking: Could it be that the sky is not May the princess die just like this, so this strong wind prevents the princess from offering sacrifices to heaven?
And if Su Rongrong, the key figure of the pipa princess, knew what the priests were thinking at the moment, she would definitely say no to them.Because this is obviously the wind and sand pushed up by a person with strong martial arts intentionally using internal force.
Sure enough, a young man flew out of the wind and sand, swept Su Rongrong straight away, and left. Su Rongrong felt the familiar feeling of the people around her, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.
As soon as he landed, a woman in blue and yellow Central Plains costume rushed out. The woman wanted to hug her and said in a crying voice: "Sister Rong Rong, I miss you so much. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I left you behind." Yes, Sister Rongrong..."
Su Rongrong's heart choked, but she dodged the woman's hand to hug her, and said in a strange and defensive way, "Who are you? Rongrong? Who is Rongrong?"
Hearing that, except for Su Rongrong, the faces of the two men and one woman present were all shocked, and the woman who was about to hug Su Rongrong just now was even more surprised to the point of panic. The feeling of slipping from the peak of joy in an instant made her hold on to the man beside her, It was the man who snatched Su Rongrong away just now, and said: "Brother Chu, she, she is Sister Rongrong, right? She is obviously Sister Rongrong."
Feeling pity in her heart, Su Rongrong's expression remained unchanged, but she said sharply: "Who are you? Why do you obstruct the sacrifice to heaven?"
What is the cause of this accident?And who are the two men and one woman who kidnapped Su Rongrong?
old friend comes
When Jin Chan escaped from her shell and left, Su Rongrong once thought, what would it be like if they met again?She had guessed the answer, but found that she would not know until that day.
But no matter how she conjectured, she never expected to meet again like this, meeting each other but not recognizing each other.
Song Tian'er is the first woman she has met in so many years who can disregard other friendships, who can talk about her daughter's worries and fight wantonly without any scruples. She is the sister she can love without any scruples. The sister she really cared about.
Chu Liuxiang was someone she had a ignorant affection for and a heart for.He is humorous and witty, with strong martial arts skills. He has saved her many times and avenged her father.She was grateful to him, and even had an ignorant love for him.But at some point, she gradually stopped thinking about him, maybe because in the face of the country's destruction, she couldn't think about the love between her children.
But because of this, she couldn't involve them even more.Whether it is for the spirit of the father in heaven, or for the people of Kucha, Kucha must be restored, and all of this is destined to require the lives and blood of countless people to pave the way.She, Su Rongrong, as the princess of Pipa in Kucha, the restoration of the country is everything she must bear as the royal family of Kucha. She will never escape from all these, and she will stick to it until the last moment.However, as a simple Su Rongrong, she would never and would not want to involve her friends in these bloody storms, even if Big Brother Chu is skilled in martial arts and resourceful, even if Tian'er is proficient in disguise and eccentric.
No matter how Su Rongrong's thoughts changed, she still maintained a strange attitude.And this point made Song Tian'er, who finally found Su Rongrong, almost collapsed, so she couldn't accept it.
Obviously, she looks exactly like Sister Rongrong, how could she not be.
To Song Tian'er, Su Rongrong is like her own sister. Although the two of them haven't really known each other for a long time, Su Rongrong undoubtedly fully fits the image of her sister in her mind, gentle, kind, considerate and tolerant.To Su Rongrong, she can act like a baby at will, because Su Rongrong will tolerate her and satisfy her.She is no longer alone when she is away from home, because Su Rongrong will take care of her, although she is no longer a child who needs to be taken care of.If there is danger, Su Rongrong will stand in front of her... Even when cooking, Su Rongrong will smile and say that Tian'er's cooking is delicious...
But such a beautiful person, because of her instigation, went to the juggling box, and was never found again...
"Aren't you really Sister Rongrong?" Song Tian'er looked at Su Rongrong and muttered, her eyes full of expectation.
Su Rongrong was silent.
Soon, the group of priests realized that something was wrong, and they surrounded Chu Liuxiang and the three of them together with Lord Fenghuo who had brought people to rescue them.
Feng Huo led people to protect Su Rongrong immediately, then bowed and saluted: "My minister is late to save you, please forgive me, princess."
Su Rongrong said in a deep voice: "Master Feng, please hurry up, I'm fine."
Feng Huo felt relieved and said: "Come here, escort the princess back to the palace."
Hearing this, Su Rongrong wanted to tell Feng Huo to let Chu Liuxiang and the others go, but suddenly out of the corner of her eye, she saw a Sequoia man who shouldn't be here, Su Rongrong was relieved, and silently led her escort back to the palace.
Feng Huo's questioning voice came from the ear, "Who are you? Why are you making trouble to worship the heavens and arresting the princess?"
Then, as expected, Zhongyuan's red voice came from the ear, "Lord Feng, they are..."
...back to the palace...
……
……
At the gate of the palace, Su Rongrong waved back the group of soldiers escorting her, and walked back to the palace slowly.
Walking this gradually familiar road, Su Rongrong was a little absent-minded, but at the corner, her mind was shaken again.
"It's you……"
"Rong Rong..."
After being dazed for a while, Su Rongrong realized that this was not a place to talk, so she went forward to lead the woman in the blue palace dress, and took her to the place she found while wandering.
They were silent all the way, and when they reached the place, the two of them were silent for a while, but it was the woman in the blue palace dress who spoke first.
"I thought I'd never see you again..."
As soon as the words fell, the woman in the blue palace dress stepped forward and hugged Su Rongrong, and buried her head on Su Rongrong's shoulder.
"Lin Lang..." Unexpectedly, she would do this, Su Rongrong was slightly stunned, but when she realized it, she hugged the woman lightly with her left hand, and patted her back with her right hand to comfort her.
That's right, this woman with Qiushui as god jade as bones, lotus as face and willows as eyebrows is Lin Lang who was captured by the killer in white and Su Rongrong thought she might have died.
When Lin Lang finally calmed down, Su Rongrong learned about her that day from her mouth.
It turned out that after Su Rongrong left, a group of men in white suddenly rushed out, and the guards died one after another trying to protect Lin Lang.And those men in white somehow knew that the Star of Bliss was on her body, so instead of killing her, they knocked her unconscious and took her away without any explanation.The group of men in white probably wanted to take her to a safe place for further interrogation. Unexpectedly, they met the caravan that Su Rongrong had entrusted to escort the abducted girl home. The leader of the caravan saw her and thought the man in white was a kidnapped girl Human traffickers, and the man in white may want to kill people, so the two sides fought.Then, he met a minister surnamed Bai, who ordered his guards to rescue her, and then dedicated her to King Qiuci.
After hearing Linlang's story, Su Rongrong felt mixed feelings, including the joy that Linlang was rescued, and the unknown annoyance that Linlang has now become her brother's concubine.
Su Rongrong didn't know where this unknown boredom came from, and thought that maybe it was because of the many conspiracies and fights in the palace, she didn't want Lin Lang, a pure and kind woman, to be trapped in it.
After thinking about it, Su Rongrong also told Lin Lang about her identity, and said, "I didn't expect that you would become my sister-in-law."
After Lin Lang heard her words, there seemed to be an inexplicable emotion flashing in her eyes, and her face was a bit complicated, and even her voice subconsciously lowered, "Yeah, I didn't expect that we are so destined."
Su Rongrong didn't understand why she was suddenly depressed, but she subconsciously didn't ask, but told her that the gemstone she gave her that day was the Star of Bliss, and told her that this gemstone was related to the legend of the treasure, and reminded her not to put These are spoken.
Linlang looked at her with a smile and said, "I see. These are illusory, but once treasures or something are involved, there will always be turmoil. Don't worry, I understand this kind of thing, and I will never set myself on fire of."
Don't want
Hearing the news that his younger sister, Princess Pipa, was rescued by some strangers from the Central Plains during her sacrifice to heaven, the King of Kucha didn't react much. He simply waved his hand to let the guards go down, and then continued to indulge in singing and dancing.And Su Rongrong seemed a little chilled, she didn't react much, and went straight back to the palace to rest.
Late at night, in the palace of Princess Pipa.
The maidservant who was watching the night fell asleep at some point, but at this moment, Su Rongrong, who should have fallen asleep, was awake. Not only was she awake, even her pajamas had been changed into her usual palace attire.
She seemed to be waiting for someone.
There was no lamp in the hall, and relying on the faint light emitted by the luminous pearl on the table covered with a layer of light veil, it neither attracted the attention of people outside the hall, but could barely see the inside of the hall.
At this time, there was a rustling sound from the hall. If you didn't pay attention carefully, you would think it was some small animal gnawing on something.Then, suddenly there were a few light footsteps.
Su Rongrong obviously heard it, and this person seems to be the reason why she hasn't gone to bed until now, because she said: "You are here."
The visitor was hidden in the dark, so he couldn't see his body shape, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.Only when he opened his mouth did he realize that this person was a man, and he said in a deep voice, "You were shocked today."
It was rare for Su Rongrong to relax, and even had a gentle smile on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time, and said softly: "I'm fine, today is going well."
The man said again: "Can those people from the Central Plains today be taken for their own use?"
When Su Rongrong heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly: "They are friends I met in the Central Plains, and they are all from the Jianghu. I don't want to involve them."
Hearing what she said, the man pondered for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, then let them leave as soon as possible."
Su Rongrong was relieved when she received the man's release reply, and at the same time decided to find a way to send Chu Liuxiang and the others away as soon as possible, otherwise they might be brought in by the people behind the scenes and disturb the mess.
"By the way, I got something from the new princess Linlang on the way back. She is an orphan girl I rescued. In order to repay me, she gave me that thing. Later, she was taken away because of that thing. Bai Wanping was rescued by mistake." Su Rongrong looked at the things wrapped in brocade handkerchiefs on her feet and said.
Not wanting anyone to doubt Lin Lang, Su Rongrong added, "She is a good girl with a kind heart and a willingness to repay her kindness."
The man listened carefully, without asking what that thing was, reached out and picked up the thing that was close at hand and wrapped in a brocade handkerchief, and put it in his arms.
The man said: "My manpower is almost ready, you just came back, and the manpower has not been contacted, so don't participate in this operation."
Su Rongrong frowned when she heard the words, and said worriedly: "No, wait a little longer. The time is not ripe yet, maybe there are still people hiding in the dark and not jumping out. Moreover, with more strength, there is more chance of winning."
The man was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Then wait a little longer..."
……the next day……
……
……
On the second day, Su Rongrong did not go to the palace of Qiuci to ask for an interview as usual, maybe it was her brother who blurted out yesterday's sacrifice to heaven and the usual enjoyment afterwards that made her heartbroken, so today she wandered around the palace uncharacteristically.
Walking, Su Rongrong accidentally came to the place where Lin Lang was talking yesterday, but saw a woman in a yellow palace dress in front of her.This familiar figure, as expected, was Lin Lang.
Lin Lang turned her head and saw her, and said to Su Rongrong who was walking slowly: "I don't know where you are in the palace, and I'm sorry to disturb you, so I just came here to have a look, thinking maybe you will come too ,” she said, lowered her head, and continued with a little surprise: “I didn’t expect you to come.”
Su Rongrong felt sorry for her repeated sufferings, and now she was alone in this scheming palace, and said: "I won't disturb me, as long as I'm here, you can come if you want."
"Okay." Lin Lang looked at Su Rongrong and replied softly.
The two found a place to sit next to each other, Su Rongrong said: "You must remember in the palace that you must be on guard against others. Although I don't know this, I also know that the harem is not a peaceful place. You have to pay more attention to it. Be careful. Although I am brother Wang's younger sister, I can't meddle in my brother's harem, so I can't help you."
"I see."
With the same gentle tone, Su Rongrong knew that she was looking at her, but she still didn't turn her head to look at her, but hesitated, and said every word carefully, "You, these days, Brother Wang is the only one who favors you, everyone in the harem Maybe you already feel dissatisfied with you. So, you'd better persuade Brother Wang to go to other concubines, lest they will be dissatisfied and trip you up."
After finishing speaking, Su Rongrong herself felt very uncomfortable, and worried that Lin Lang thought she was dissatisfied with her, so she turned her head and kept paying attention to her expression, feeling a little inexplicably nervous in her heart.
In fact, there is another reason for Su Rongrong to say this, because Brother Wang is obsessed with pleasure and does not listen to the courtiers' advice. When the officials were dissatisfied, Brother Wang might not be able to keep her.But Su Rongrong would rather Lin Lang misunderstood than tell her the reason, but she just didn't want to trouble her too much.
Su Rongrong looked at Lin Lang nervously. Seeing that she kept her head down and said nothing, she thought she had really misunderstood, and was about to explain, but she suddenly raised her head with a sly smile, and she couldn't help saying in amazement: "Are you Pretending?"
Seeing Su Rongrong like this, Linlang was worried that she would be offended, so she quickly suppressed her smile, looked into her eyes seriously and said, "I believe in you. Rongrong, I believe that you will not harm me."
Stared at by Lin Lang's sincere eyes, Su Rongrong's heart warmed up, she seriously planned for one person, and gained the wholehearted trust of the other person, which made Su Rongrong feel a little happy in her heart.
And Linlang's trust also made Su Rongrong determined to continue, saying: "Also, Linlang, I hope you can help me persuade Brother Wang to see the courtiers more and listen to their advice."
But seeing Lin Lang smiling like a flower in full bloom, Su Rongrong couldn't help but choke her breath, she said: "I'm very happy, Rongrong, I'm very happy, I can finally help you."
This remark made Su Rongrong suddenly think of that night in the desert, and the woman in Tsing Yi who was dedicated to repaying her kindness. With a smile on her lips, she said softly: "Lin Lang, in fact, you have helped me a lot..."
Do not know
After parting with Lin Lang, Su Rongrong didn't go back to her palace, nor did she try to see her brother Wang, instead she walked to the gate of the palace thoughtfully.
Su Rongrong followed Chu Liuxiang for a period of time in the Central Plains, and saw how he peeled the cocoons from a mess, and how he found out the real murderer Wuhua step by step. Based on her understanding of Chu Liuxiang, she knew that yesterday's scene could not win Chu Liuxiang's trust at all, and could not let him I believe she is not the Su Rongrong he knew.
Therefore, Chu Liuxiang will definitely find an opportunity to meet her and find evidence to prove whether she is Su Rongrong.Su Rongrong thought with certainty.
And according to Master Fenghuo's character of being loyal to the country, he will never let go of Chu Liuxiang, who in his eyes are capable people.
Chu Liuxiang wanted to see her, so she would go along with the flow and agree to Master Fenghuo's request to stay.Therefore, I believe that soon, Chu Liuxiang will see her in a legitimate way.
However, Su Rongrong didn't want to wait for him to come.
Kucha seems to be calm now, but in fact, under this calm lake, various forces are about to move around, playing games with each other.If Chu Liuxiang and the others stay here, they may become pawns of a certain party's game anytime and anywhere.She believes that Chu Liuxiang's ability is enough to escape, but Song Tian'er is different, her martial arts are low, she only has cleverness, and her personality is straightforward and simple, it is impossible for Su Rongrong to see the danger spread to this sister she really loves.
Therefore, Su Rongrong chose to meet Chu Liuxiang.Either, they tricked Chu Liuxiang into thinking they had confessed their mistakes and left; or, they were found out.
After leaving the palace gate, Su Rongrong came to Fenghuo's mansion.
Upon hearing Su Rongrong's arrival, Feng Huo hurried out to greet her.
Welcoming Su Rongrong into the mansion, invited the lord to the seat, and after serving tea, Feng Huo asked suspiciously: "The princess was frightened yesterday, why come here in a hurry today, as long as I send someone to call, the old minister will go to the palace to meet the princess." Now, why should the princess make an extra trip?"
Su Rongrong smiled slightly, and said: "There is nothing serious about my palace. Besides, Master Fenghuo is busy with government affairs, so I don't want to disturb you too much. It's just that I was rescued by those heroes from the Central Plains yesterday, and I want to thank them face to face."
Hearing this, Feng Huo laughed and said: "It's a coincidence. Yesterday, I saw those strong men with martial arts skills and kindness to the princess. I thought that these strong men might be of use to me in Kucha when the country was in crisis. , so keep them in the house.”
"Coincidentally," Su Rongrong said with a smile, "then please ask Master Feng to invite them out."
"Yes." Feng Huo responded and went to invite him in person.
After a while, the three of Chu Liuxiang came together with Zhongyuan Dianhong.
Su Rongrong perfectly played the role of a princess who came to thank her. She greeted her first, then smiled with three points of grace, three points of nobility, and four points of gentleness, and thanked her: "I am Princess Pipa of Kucha. Yesterday, I was really grateful for the rescue of several strong men, otherwise I would have lost my life in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."
Chu Liuxiang said calmly, "Chu Liuxiang, here are my good friends Hu Tiehua, Zhongyuan Dianhong, and Song Tian'er. Princess, you are welcome, as martial arts practitioners should be like this."
Seeing Su Rongrong's face, Song Tian'er at the side couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you really Sister Rongrong?"
Su Rongrong pretended to be puzzled, and asked: "You have been calling me Rongrong since yesterday, is it true that I look so similar to that girl named Rongrong?"
The man named Hu Tiehua who came with Chu Liuxiang and the others looked at Su Rongrong, his eyes flickering, and said, "It is said that they are exactly the same."
Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose and said, "It's the same. Does the princess have a twin sister?"
Chu Liuxiang didn't seem to have any doubts, but simply asked.
Su Rongrong replied affirmatively: "No, I am the only concubine of my mother."
Song Tian'er showed disappointment in her eyes, and Su Rongrong said again: "That Miss Su separated from you, didn't she?"
Chu Liuxiang replied: "A few days ago, my friend Su Rongrong disappeared in the desert. We searched without a trace. I thought she might have returned to the Central Plains, so I planned to go back to the Central Plains, but I accidentally saw a mirage of the princess. I thought the princess was the princess. Rong Rong came here."
When Su Rongrong heard the mirage, she became more enlightened, no wonder she dressed up as a man along the way and deliberately covered her whereabouts, they still came here.Don't do what he thinks, Su Rongrong said:
