Fly the wrong branch and become a phoenix

Chapter 18 Blood-Stained Prosperity

After several days of careful recuperation, Bokang has survived from half-death, and his blood is still lost. This cannot be made up in ten and a half months. Fortunately, he is already strong in martial arts, with excellent physical foundation, and he has already walked. Nothing serious.Of course, it is definitely impossible to run fast with luck, it will burst open the wound that has just healed.

"Uncle, the sweet potatoes are all rotten." Although Nian En is young, he also knows how to cherish food. At this moment, he pouts his mouth, very unhappy that the sweet potatoes that his father worked so hard to grow have been ruined like this.

"Nian'en, I'm afraid there are bad guys coming to the house. Uncle, go up and have a look. You are right here, don't say anything." Bai Kang took Nian'en to the wall and warned in a low voice.

Nian En blinked her big eyes, nodded in a sensible way, and pursed her small mouth tightly.

Bokang climbed out of the cave along the ladder, the sky had been dark for an unknown amount of time, the night sky was bright with a full moon, and the stars twinkled, while the big tile-roofed house was dark, without a single light, as dead as an abandoned house.

Bokang entered the house, saw the mess on the ground clearly by the moonlight, and his anxiety rose like a flame.He searched all the rooms, but he didn't see Ming Lu's figure, a ray of darkness gathered in his eyes.

Turning around, Bokang walked towards the gate. There was also no candlelight in the village.Clenching his fists, Bokang went to the window of the neighbor's house and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of even breathing inside. The massacre of the village that worried him most did not happen.

Prying open the window, Bo Kang turned over and went in. Under the moonlight, the old man was sleeping on the bed, and Bo Kang stretched out his hand to push it.

"Who?" The old man's sleep is usually very shallow, and Bai Kang just pushed it, and the old man was already awakened. Looking at the man in front of the bed with his back to the moonlight, the old man was obviously panicked.

"Don't panic, old man. I'm just asking you something, and I will never hurt you." Bokang took a step back, trying to slow down his tone to avoid the old man yelling.

Perhaps it was Bokang's actions that made the old man relax a bit, and he still said with some fear: "Ask if you have any questions. If the old man doesn't know, he won't be able to answer."

"What happened in the village? Where did Minglu go?"

"A lot of soldiers came, and Minglu's child was taken away by them. Hey, he was about to give birth and was taken away. What should I do? Deyuan doesn't know where he went, what should I do... "As soon as he mentioned this, the old man was sad, and his worry was obvious, which shows that the relationship between the neighbors is very good.

The officer and soldier Bokang knew about it. When he was basking in the sun in the yard, he felt that the ground was shaking abnormally. It was the vibration caused by a lot of horseshoes trampling on it. That's why Minglu hid him in a small hole in the soil.What he didn't expect was that the person who came here obviously already knew Ming Lu's identity, otherwise he wouldn't have arrested Ming Lu and searched so carefully.

Bokang knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and if he wanted to rescue Minglu from the barracks, his current situation was no less than that of Dengtian, and this trip would only be a trap for himself, not to mention that Nian'en needed someone to take care of him, and they must not be allowed to Take Nianen away too.

Thinking of this, even though Bokang was full of hatred, he was powerless, so he could only take Nianen far away from danger.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Bai Kang left Quanshan Town with Nian En, and melted into the forest...

……

In a luxuriously decorated, palace-like room.

Through the veil, two figures huddled together on the couch can be vaguely seen. From the hair accessories, it can be deduced that one is a woman and the other is a man.

The two figures separated, and the woman panted and said: "Okay, don't make trouble, let's get down to business."

"Aside from this matter, what other things in the world can be called serious?" The man's deep voice showed a little teasing, and he hugged the woman into his arms again.

The woman rested her hands on the man's chest, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't keep avoiding my questions."

Perhaps seeing the woman obsessed with this, the man's tone was very helpless: "Your Majesty warned you about what happened seven years ago, why bother to make things difficult for him? It is because of a stranger that you have weakened your relationship with Your Majesty. Why bother? Listen to me, forget about it."

"Besides, do you believe what a male favorite says? Even if this is true, wouldn't it be a loss of status to cooperate with a lowly male favorite? What's more, what can a male favorite do? I heard that Qin Musen didn't treat him like that." How much love."

"I don't care if he is a male favorite or a beggar, as long as it is beneficial to me, I am willing to cooperate with people of any status." The woman was obviously a little angry, and her voice became sharper, "Ling Qun has been on the throne for seven years, and the empress has not been crowned for a long time. He still thinks about that vixen! If he had died seven years ago, Ling Qun would have stopped thinking about it long ago. As for the current situation? There are few concubines in the harem, not even a prince!"

"Okay, don't talk about this." The man seemed to have a headache, and said helplessly, "Just talk about Gu Mengyu, I don't know why you dislike him so much? I don't think he will affect you, why do you have to let him go?" To die?"

"Isn't a man born with this appearance just to cause harm to the world? Look, wouldn't Emperor Chu Ming have a good end now? No matter what, I won't allow Ling Qun to get involved with him!" The woman's words contained a hint of The stock is sour and cruel.

"Hey... I know what you are afraid of." The man embraced the woman in his arms, his tone showing pity, "Your Majesty is indifferent to fame and wealth, and has no intention of power and position. If he has a loved one by his side, he will be afraid of you. They will make a decision to retreat to the mountains and forests. The two princes are a bit lacking in strategy, and it is difficult to control the government, and the old general is old and frail, and his health is not as good as before. If your majesty abdicates, your mother and son are really worrying."

After being silent for a while, the woman said quietly: "It's only been a few years since the chaos was put down, and there are still some people who are eyeing tigers and hiding in the dark, I have to guard against it."

"You killed Gu Mengyu, I'm afraid His Majesty won't let it go."

"So what if you don't want to let it go? I'm his mother!" The woman snorted coldly, "Even if he doesn't get close to me, it can't change the fact that he is a son."

After a little silence, the woman leaned into the man's arms and said in a low voice: "If you keep it secret, he won't know. If it wasn't for this letter, wouldn't we have no way of knowing that Emperor Chuming and the crown prince are dead? Ling Qun Naturally, there is no way to know, and no measures will be taken.”

The woman's low voice turned into a cold one: "The letter said that the vixen will come to Wanyi country, you should pay attention to it, and be sure to kill him before His Majesty gets the news."

"Hey...you, it's because you have too many things on your mind that you live so tiredly." The man didn't raise any different opinions, and lay down hugging the woman...

……

Walking in the primeval forest, you will often see snow-white animal bones, which look particularly terrifying hidden in the forest and grass.Poisonous insects and ants can be seen everywhere, big boa constrictors as thick as buckets, small bamboo leaves hanging upside down on trees, sharp snouts in dead leaves...

In addition to tigers, lions, black bears, and leopards, there are also some wild beasts that they have never seen or heard of in the wild forest. It is difficult for Gu Mengyu and Deyuan to be careful and cautious.A whole nine days!Nine days had passed when Gu Mengyu and Deyuan walked out of the dense forest.Both of them were dressed in rags, their hair was messy, and their exposed skin was covered with a layer of stains, like beggars.

Leaving the dark dense forest and looking at the bright sun above my head, I feel a new and refreshing feeling.After taking a quick bath in the stream, the two who set out again soon found a village.

The people in the village were very simple and warm. Not only did they change their clothes, but they also brought warm meals, which made the two of them, who had been living on wild fruits for a few days, a hearty meal.

"Master, how far is it from the frontier?" Deyuan, who has been away from the palace for seven years, has learned to face the world with a smile, and his dark face also gives people a sense of simplicity.

"It's far away, and it will take four days to get there." The old man sprinkled a handful of ground corn, watched the fluffy chickens scrambling, and replied cheerfully, "If you want to go faster, then go Wangjiazhai. There is an inn there, and sometimes merchants will stay there, and you can take their carriages to go there."

"We're not going to the frontier." Deyuan smiled.

The old man looked at the latrine, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Young man, listen to me to tell you the truth, your young master is as beautiful as a flower, and going on the road like this is very easy to cause trouble, it's better to cover it up. "

After finishing speaking, the old man sprinkled another handful of corn, shook his head, and said, "Although Your Majesty is wise today, our place is far away from the emperor, and there will inevitably be some bullies. A few days ago, a young girl with yellow flowers in a neighboring village was killed by someone. Snatch it away, alas..."

"Thank you old man, we will be careful." Although he is not very worried about bullies, Deyuan is still grateful for the old man's kindness.

Gu Mengyu walked slowly, wearing an ill-fitting coarse cloth clothes that could not detract from him, the nobility that naturally exudes, and the elegance of his gestures always make it easy for people to guess his extraordinary status.

Even though the peerless face is a little haggard and a little pale, it is still so coquettish, like a demon flower coming from the abyss, it is here to confuse the world, people can't move their eyes, even if they die, they are willing to sink like this.

Looking at the people walking out of the picture, the aunt who stepped out of the door with tea sighed softly. Although she was just a village woman who had never seen the world, she could also see that Gu Mengyu's beautiful eyes contained a strong What a sad person, what a beautiful person, what a crime this is...

"Come, drink tea." The old lady put down the teapot and greeted warmly.

Gu Mengyu nodded slightly, and sat down on the wooden chair: "Thank you, Ma'am."

Although he has come to Wanwei Kingdom, Gu Mengyu is not at ease. He is not sure whether Kong Lingqun will help him. After all, a war is not easy to start. As a king, Kong Lingqun should first consider his country rather than the two countries. personal relationship...

Wearing the bamboo hat given by the old man, Gu Mengyu bid farewell to the kind old couple, and took Deyuan on the road to the imperial city of Wanwei.
