[Comprehensive martial arts] The bright moon shines on you

The vast desert.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the poisonous sunlight scorched the billowing yellow sand.On the vast sandy sea that seems to have no limit, a spacious and gorgeous building speeds past the undulating sand dunes.Eagles flying in the sky tugged at the bow of the ship. The big ship sailed in the desert like a ship sailing in the sea, and the undulating sand dunes were like waves on the sea.The sculptures and decorations on the bow and stern are extremely gorgeous. The bead curtains hanging around the cabin sway gently with the driving of the ship.

Such a gorgeous and exquisite building boat should appear in the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River, on the banks of the Qinhuai River, but it should not appear in this boundless desert.If a traveler in the desert sees such a ship passing in front of him, he will probably think that he has encountered the phantom of the legendary mirage after being shocked and amazed.

In the elegant and quiet room, the vertically hanging crystal bead curtain swayed gently with the movement of the ship.The beauty in a plain white dress sat behind the bead curtain, holding the incense pestle with her white jade fingers, and slowly moved her wrist with a special force.With her movements, the incense shavings in the mortar under her hands were crushed little by little.

She is perfumed.

Princess Qiuci was sitting on the chair on the other side, with her face propped up on one hand and her eyes wide open watching her movements with curiosity.

Although the boat was driving on the undulating sand dunes, it was unknown what mechanism Shi Guanyin had installed on the boat, and the people sitting in the cabin didn't feel much shaking.There is a fresh and elegant fragrance diffused in the room, and the last blinding fragrance is slowly mixed in by Mingyue Ye. The incense powder in the furnace is as white as frost and snow, only faintly bringing out a light crimson color like peach blossoms in spring.

Princess Qiuci blinked and exclaimed, "Your skills in the Central Plains are really amazing."

Mingyue Ye smiled lightly, ignited the incense in the incense burner, and closed the lid.As if a ray of spring breeze blows into this somewhat dull cabin, the fragrance of peach blossoms mixed with the freshness of rain and dew lingers in the nose. When you close your eyes, it seems that ten miles of peach forests are gradually blooming in front of you.

Bathed in such an elegant fragrance, Princess Kucha looked a little intoxicated, and whispered, "This is completely different from our Kucha spice..."

The room was silent for a while.After a while, Princess Qiuci woke up from the dreamlike fragrance.She glanced at the girl in white who was sitting beside An Ran, smiled a little embarrassedly, and asked curiously, "Are all the girls in the Central Plains so ingenious?"

"You mean mixing incense?" Ming Yueye's gaze fell on the incense burner for a few seconds, as if lost in thought for a while.Immediately she shook her head, and her subordinates began to sort out the tools used in the fragrance blending before, "Noble ladies from aristocratic families usually know how to do it."

"Aristocratic family?" Princess Qiuci blinked, "Are you also a noble daughter from which family?"

The white-clothed girl paused for a while when she cleaned the incense pestle, her eyes lowered slightly, "Maybe."

Princess Qiuci's expression suddenly hesitated, her eyes were a little tentative and a little wandering, "It is said that your family in the Central Plains has very strict rules, and you are really married after paying homage..."

Ming Yueye noticed her temptation, but didn't pay much attention.He just nodded indifferently, and said casually, "Almost."

"This, that's it..."

The whispering voice almost fell into the air, and the hesitation in the voice was even worse.Ming Yueye's subordinates paused, and finally looked up at her, "What do you want to say."

Princess Qiuci blushed, hesitated for a while, and finally whispered, "That night, the son-in-law..."

Consort?Ming Yueye was startled for a moment before realizing that she was talking about Chu Liuxiang.

"He is your husband, but he said that the princess is prettier than you. My sister likes him so much, but he doesn't seem to care at all..." Princess Qiuci frowned, trying to organize her words in Central Plains dialect, "Why does he..."

Before she finished speaking, Ming Yueye already understood what she meant.

"Can't you figure out why he would do that?"

Princess Qiuci nodded, she really didn't understand.Did he fall in love with the princess?But isn't the young lady much more beautiful than the princess?

Ming Yueye turned her head to think for a while, and suddenly found that just looking at Chu Liuxiang's actions that night, from the perspective of people who don't know what's inside, he seemed to be acting quite scum.Thinking of this, Ming Yueye suddenly wanted to laugh.She shook her head, seeing the face of the person in front of her blushing, her expression was quite puzzled, and there was a faint look of injustice for her and her sister, and she sighed softly.

"Because if he didn't say that. Neither your sister nor I would have survived that night."

The girl in white turned her eyes back to the incense burner in front of her, and the smile on her lips gradually faded in the green smoke.She could feel that Shi Guanyin was becoming more and more unable to suppress her killing intent. She deceived herself and wanted to use Chu Liuxiang to prove that no one could surpass her charm, as if she could prove that the most beautiful woman in the world was still the best if she could take him down. It is her Shi Guanyin.

It's useless.

Slender and fair fingers fiddled with the gilt incense burner on the table. Amid the elegant fragrance that filled the room, the eyes of the beauty in white gradually became colder. She was almost thinking coldly.It was useless, all of Shi Guanyin's struggles were useless.She couldn't take down Chu Liuxiang, let alone prove herself.

A hero's head is white, a beauty's twilight.

No one can stop the passing of time and the sadness of changing years.Even if she is as arrogant and vicious as Shi Guanyin.

Mingyueye has never been so clearly aware of it for a moment like now that this woman who was once radiant and oppressive in the world is being driven crazy by the time that is gradually going away and her own arrogance.

If her impulsiveness and jealousy are no longer under the control of reason, how much patience will Shi Guanyin leave with her?

The beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and the girl in white sitting at the table stopped talking.Seeing that her mood was getting low, Princess Qiuci quietly shrank aside and did not speak again.Perhaps because she was not favored since she was a child, she seems to have a natural sensitivity to the outside world.It was as if she had noticed early on that the princess had suddenly become extremely dangerous as if she had changed people. When facing this beautiful girl in front of her, even though she herself had told her that they were all stone Avalokitesvara is a prisoner, but in her heart she still stubbornly feels that this is not the case.If she is just a small insect that fell into the net of Shiguanyin and can only be manipulated by her, then although the girl in front of her is also in the net, she is different from her helpless mermaid, she seems to be a mermaid The butterfly wrapped in a cocoon is quietly accumulating energy.One day, she will finally be able to tear through this big net and rush into the sky. At that time, no one will be able to stop her brilliance from blooming.

The cabin was quiet for a while, and after an unknown period of time, the bead curtains in the room shook violently, making the soft sound of jade and stone colliding.Mingyueye suddenly came back to his senses, and glanced towards the window, "The boat stopped?"

Princess Qiuci stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside through the tulle on the window.In the eyes, there is still a vast sea of ​​golden sand, and the dazzling sunlight makes people's eyes hurt.She turned around and shook her head doubtfully, "I don't know, I'll go out and have a look."

Watching her lift the bead curtain and go out, the "squeak" sound of the wooden door closing in the room came through her ears.Ming Yueye stood up, walked to the museum shelf in the room, picked up the white brocade handkerchief that had been placed there before they entered the door, turned around and walked back to the table.

White fingers pinched the edge of the brocade handkerchief and spread it out in the air above the incense burner. The light smoke in the incense burner slowly evaporated, and the smoke slowly spread on the brocade handkerchief.Not long after, a few lines of beautiful crimson handwriting gradually emerged on the snow-white brocade handkerchief like red plum blossoms.

Taking the time to print those lines of information into her mind, Ming Yueye let go of her fingers, allowing the brocade handkerchief in her hand to fall on the gilded incense burner and cover it up.Curl of light smoke permeated the entire face of the handkerchief, and the light crimson handwriting slowly disappeared in the elegant smoke.

Turning around and going back to the table to sit down, Ming Yue Ye poured herself a cup of tea.Holding the teacup in one hand and tapping on the table with the other hand, she began to slowly integrate the information in her mind.

Shi Guanyin has already connected with the traitors of the Kucha Kingdom, and Wuhua is not dead as expected, and Wu Juxuan is aliased in it.As for the King of Kucha... the girl in white paused as she tapped her fingers on the table, with an inexplicable smile on her lips.

She really underestimated the King of Kucha, what should I say?Thank him for sending her a helper?

However, over there in the capital... Ming Yueye frowned slightly, remembering the news she received earlier.Ye Gucheng asked Ximen Chuuxue to have a duel in the capital, Ximen Chuuxue originally agreed, and the time was set on the [-]th of June, at that time Lu Xiaofeng ignored the affairs of the Beggar Gang and went directly to the capital for this reason.But later, for some unknown reason, Ximen Chuuxue temporarily pushed back the time by two months.

August [-]th... Mingyue Ye frowned slightly, a little confused.Ah Xue is not someone who will break the contract at will, and he doesn't have a wife who is expecting to give birth now, so why would he postpone the duel time for no reason?Did something unexpected happen?

However, thinking about her current situation, Ming Yueye doesn't know whether to worry about Ximen Chuuxue or herself first...

Sighing softly, the girl in white lifted the teacup to her lips, took a sip of the tea slowly, feeling a little anxious for no reason.If these things come one by one, she is confident that they can all be settled properly, but why do they have to be gathered together like an appointment?According to the timeline of the original book, the duel in the Forbidden City should obviously be a year later.

She sensed that something seemed to have changed in the dark, but she couldn't grasp the slightest clue.Ming Yueye tried her best to suppress the irritability and faint uneasiness in her heart, just as she was about to grab the teapot on the table with her fingers, the door of the room was pushed open with a "squeak".

An ordinary-looking woman in a light blue dress came in behind Princess Qiuci. Ming Yueye raised her head, met her calm gaze, and then slowly moved away.

Princess Qiuci, who was walking in front, had a slightly frightened expression on her face, and her gaze was fixed on the indifferent face of the bright moon night.Seeming to have finally stabilized a little, she took a few deep breaths, opened her mouth and said, "They asked us to change ships."

After Shi Guanyin sent them to this "ghost ship" driving in the desert, he didn't know what to do next.In the past few days, apart from Mingyueye and Princess Qiuci, there were only Shi Guanyin's disciples and servants on board.After living in a place far away from Shi Guanyin for several days, she finally relaxed a little, and then moved to a place with Shi Guanyin. Ming Yueye could fully understand the panic on the face of Princess Qiuci who was frightened by Shi Guanyin.

However, no matter how panicked she was, it was useless, she had to change.

Going from the scorching sun to the cool cabin again, the short journey of changing boats can almost make people faint from heat.In the ice basin at the corner of the corridor, crystal clear ice cubes piled up into hills, and strands of coolness rushed over.Mingyue Ye glanced at these ice cubes that were comparable to gemstones in the great desert, wondering if he should feel the luxury of Shi Guanyin.After all, as a person who has enjoyed all of this, I have no right to say anything about her.

Walking through such a luxurious and cool cabin corridor, through the screen windows and bead curtains on the cabin, you can see the vast and magnificent desert scenery outside the window, the endless golden sand dunes and the blue sky, which seems to make people feel heartbroken. They all opened up, no matter how much depression in the chest, it is not worth mentioning in this vast world, it seems that you can laugh it off.

It is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment to ride a boat through such a sea of ​​sand... If she is not a prisoner of the owner of the boat.

Oh, and one more thing, if the person who came to pick her up didn't look so horrible.

Ming Yueye's eyes paused for a moment on the face of the person who came to pick her up, and then she looked away calmly.For the first time in her life, she suspected that she actually had the attribute of face control in her bones.

The person who was rejected suddenly didn't know, and still smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, this way please."

That squirrel-headed, unflattering face made him look even more wretched when he smiled, and it was so far away from his elegant and pleasant voice, which made him look even more miserable.

Ming Yueye paused, glanced behind him very quickly, and finally took a step forward.

The girls carefully cultivated by the aristocratic family, even the footsteps on the ground seem to have a natural rhythmic beauty.When her footsteps passed a certain cabin, several floors below the cabin, in a dark room, there was a person leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.The sound of small footsteps flowed through the ears with a familiar rhythm, the black eyelashes moved slightly, and a pair of clear and sharp eyes slowly opened in the darkness.
