The Return of the Assassin Biography
Chapter 1
, and mastered the technique of firing porcelain, was named an official. ’ they walked as they talked.
"I'm a little envious of their current life. Herding sheep and horses is quite carefree." Zhi Ming said.
"I also often miss the days when I was a child herding sheep, and now I can't help myself!"
A good sentence is involuntary.
……
Not far away, Dong'er was running around chasing the flock of sheep. The child was carried by his father onto the horse and led back.
Zhi Ming reached out and touched the little goat cake that was grazing next to it. The fluffy pure white reminded him of his two little black goats: "It's so beautiful!"
Dong'er ran over and panted, "Let's live here from now on, let's not leave, okay?"
don't go?
This is also the life he wanted, but suddenly there was a feeling of loss in his heart.
"Your Majesty, come back! It's time to eat!" Zhuo Yan stood in front of the stone house, waving at them and calling.
How wonderful it feels to drive the sheep out in the morning, drive the sheep back at dusk, have relatives standing at the door waiting for them, and there is delicious food in the house...
Zhi Ming walked back and saw that their carriage and luggage had been packed.
"We'll be on our way after we eat! We've been on this journey for more than ten days, I'm afraid King Liuli will be in a hurry!" Zhuo Yan checked their carriage.
"Alright!"
No matter how reluctant you are, you will eventually return to the dust.
The author has something to say: When you come back triumphantly, I want to go out for a walk, why not just go to Ziyu's hometown.
It was because of Zhiming's words that I wrote this article.
As a person who insisted on leaving the party, I was deeply saddened by Zhiming's promise to others, and I was speechless.
Zhiming must go to Liuli...
☆、Chapter 11 The Dust Settled
After another two days of walking, I ate and drank on the way, only occasionally stopping to rest.
The vast grassland has disappeared, and there are only yellow sand and rocks on both sides of the post road. Weathered rock peaks stand on both sides of the road, like guarding soldiers.
After so many days of bumping in the carriage, Zhiming changed to riding a horse when he felt bored. His vision was wide and his mood was open-minded.
"This is Fengyan Valley. After passing through Fengyan Valley, we will be in Liuli King City. We will be able to leave the valley in a while." Yuan Tai and he rode side by side on horses.
"..."
"The lord seems to be very worried. It's not good. Over time, you will get angry in your heart. It's better to let go of it as soon as possible!"
Zhi Ming looked at Yuan Tai, but stopped talking.
Some pain cannot cry out.
"The lord and the child are not much older. Although we have only known the lord for a few days, seeing the lord is full of worries, he feels a little sad. The lord doesn't have to hold grudges, he can treat the subordinates as elders."
elder.He instantly thought of the Grand Tutor, those quiet and good years, those who loved him, they didn't know how normal they were until they lost them.
"My lord, have you ever been hurt by someone you care about?" Zhi Ming whispered lightly.
"No, we are the ones favored by God. Let me tell you a story for the lord! When my father was herding horses and sheep, there was a life-and-death friend named Lie. One day they found a vein of china clay while grazing. At that time, my father was young and frivolous, eager for quick success. Since both of them didn't know how to make pottery, my father insisted on asking for credit from King Liuli, and he didn't listen to Lie Sheng's persuasion. Father, reported to the imperial court in his own name, and soon he was rewarded. King Liuli built Shacheng for him, built a kiln with funds from the treasury, and appointed him to make pottery immediately. My father felt that Lie had betrayed him. He cut off contact."
Yuan Tai was silent for a while and continued: "Later, for as long as a year, Lie did not fire a single kiln of complete porcelain, and every kiln had to be discarded, which cost a lot of money. Gaining confidence, after failing to open a kiln again, King Liuli ordered Lie to be executed, and posted a notice that anyone who could produce porcelain would be offered a reward with Shacheng, and he would be made an official and a nobleman."
The horse was walking leisurely on the post road, kicking up some dust, Zhi Ming didn't speak, he already guessed the ending in his heart.
"Later, Lie's family handed over the relics to his father. It was a booklet, which recorded in detail the firing of various pottery. The humidity of the clay, the time and temperature of firing, the size, and the shape were all displayed. Later, the father I used the skills in this book to change official positions, and brought Lie’s family to live together in Shacheng. My father later said: The deepest relationship is nothing more than love and hate. If two people who are friends between life and death, in the end, they must evolve into either you die or you die. I live so far, then let yourself make a choice, you choose you to die for him, or choose him to die for you. As long as you face life and death, everything will be clear. The king can know his own answer."
You die for him?He died for you?
This question may have been answered when his sword pierced Murongli's chest. I don't know what the world would be like without Murongli. He still couldn't get anything at the cost of Murongli's life.
It's just that he still can't let it go.
"Don't think about it too much, the lord. Let your heart settle down for a while. Since you have come to my Liuli Kingdom, you should enjoy the mountains and rivers and feel the customs."
"Zhi Ming thanked Lord Chengshou for his enlightenment." The wind and sand seemed to be a little bit bigger, and Zhi Ming's eyes were widened by the blowing, with tears in his eyes.
…………
After passing Fengyan Valley, you can see Liuliwang City from a distance. It is located under a rolling mountain range, with lone peaks standing tall and green all over the mountains, covering the buildings with white walls and blue tiles. Under the blue sky, it forms an elegant The dark green landscape painting full of energy.
"That's the Glazed Mountain Range. The odd mountain stands tall and surrounds the entire Glazed King City. It's a natural barrier! Because behind the mountain is the Glazed Strait." Yuan Tai pointed to the Glazed King City in the distance.
"The mountains are continuous, steep and green, full of green, glazed blue tiles, white walls and red railings, it can be described as a picturesque country." Looking at it, the whole heart is melted by this picture.
"The lord is admiring it! The officials also feel that this is the perfect miracle that nature bestowed on me in Liuli Kingdom. But wait a moment and let the lord see a more shocking project."
"Oh! Really, I can't wait!" Zhi Ming said, speeding up the horse.
On the street entering the city stands a tall ancient gate archway, which depicts colorful patterns, and a large scarlet plaque is engraved with three golden characters of "Liuli Kingdom", which is sacred and solemn.
Zhiming rode a horse and followed Yuantai, and a group of people stepped into the Liuli Kingdom. On both sides of the road were teahouses, restaurants, post houses and other shops. Braids or wearing Dou Li, a scene of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
They crossed two streets, and a tall city wall and a tall red wooden gate appeared in front of them, only separated by a river.
Yuan Tai walked to the bridge and stopped, and Zhi Ming walked over to join him shoulder to shoulder.
"My lord, what I'm talking about is this moat. This river is drawn from the holy lake, a tributary of the Liuguang Strait. The whole process was manually excavated. It took a year. This river nurtures the Liuli Kingdom. People, if you want to enter the Liuli King City, you have to pass this bridge. This bridge is put down every morning, and it is put away at dusk. The iron chain is put away by rollers. It is the greatness of mankind to be able to make such a large project. The miracle, I really admire."
"This river is really amazing, and the journey has benefited a lot, so it's worth the trip." Zhi Ming nodded to him.
"The world is so big, why don't you come out of your own small world!" Yuan Tai said and walked into the Liuli King City. His mission has been completed, and I hope he can walk the next road well by himself.
After walking the stone bridge for about three meters, we stepped into the wooden cableway, about six meters long and five meters wide.The horseshoes stepped on it, making a sound of thumping, and the water flowing under the bridge was long and clear.
Compared with the outside, the inner city of Wangcheng looks very quiet and solemn, the streets are wide and clean, few pedestrians are seen, there are only one mansion, and there are stone statues in front of the gates, in different shapes, only one mansion has a stone statue with a human face and a beast body monster, looking creepy.
I don't know how many streets I walked, and finally stepped into the palace.
"In the Lower Liuli Kingdom, the Taiwei, the king and several highnesses are receiving the vassal kings in the court hall, discussing the sacrificial activities for tomorrow, and now they can't get away. The minister is waiting for the king here, first please ask the king to rest at the posthouse, In the evening, the lord of the country will be called in for advice."
"No problem, I'm sorry to bother you, Captain!" Zhi Ming replied.
"Please..." Taiwei was full of disdain, and walked forward swaggeringly.
Zhuo Yan Zhuofan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of resentment, but he could only suppress his anger, even if they were thrown into prison, they would not resist, who told them that they should be responsible for Liuli Kingdom first.
The post house was relatively comfortable and clean, which did not make things difficult for them.
Zhi Ming put the wooden box on the table and stroked it with his hand: "Ziyu, we're home."
"Your Majesty, let's go for a walk!" Xiaopang wanted to divert his attention, otherwise he would start to fall into pain again!
"No, you have to go by yourself, I'm not that interested." Zhi Ming pursed his mouth and sprayed him in the face.
Xiaopang felt relieved when he saw his joking appearance: "Then I'll go and see Dong'er. I don't know where he went. The king should lie down and rest for a while! The people in the palace just came to pass the message, Liuli The king has set up a dinner party, and I will send someone to pick up the king later." After finishing speaking, he backed out.
Zhi Ming walked into Lige and sat on the bed, leaning against the bed rail with his hands in his hands and staring in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, when he heard the slight sound of the door opening, Zhi Ming thought Xiaopang had returned, so he didn't care.
The visitor walked around the room, looked left and right, and after a while there was the sound of the door opening again.
"Ling'er, hurry up! Did you find the treasure, someone should come later." A head poked through the door.
"No, brother, could it be that they didn't put them in this room?" There was a childish voice.
Zhi Ming cheered up and sat up, and saw the figures of the two children through the screen.
"Ah! This box is very beautiful, it must contain treasures." The child named Ling'er saw the box on the table.
Zhi Ming couldn't hold his breath, and ran out from inside, startling the two people outside.
"Ling'er, run!" The people outside pushed the door open.
"If you want to run, leave the box behind." Zhi Ming reached out and grabbed the child's back collar.
"Brother, brother..." The child struggled.
"Let go, let him go quickly, or I'll be rude to you." The child glared at him angrily and shouted.
"Bring the box."
"Give Linger to him quickly."
Zhi Ming snatched the box from his hand, and let go of the child: "If you don't learn well at a young age, if you don't ask yourself, you will be called a thief, you know. There are treasures here, but they are useless to you."
"You wait for me, Ling'er, let's go." After speaking, she ran away quickly.
After a while, King Liuli sent someone to take the box away.
…………
☆、Chapter 12 is finally dead
At the dinner, Zhi Ming sat on one side, and immediately recognized the two children sitting diagonally across from each other. The older one was about eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one was seven or eight years old. They were dressed in fancy clothes and sat upright. with.
"The Lord Zhiming came from afar, so he should have given him a good reception, but there is a national funeral in our country, so it's not appropriate to make a big fanfare. Everything should be kept simple, and I hope the Lord will understand." King Liuli held up his wine glass to respect him.
"We are the ones who want to apologize, and ask Liuli King to forgive." Zhi Ming picked up a booklet and handed it to Zhuo Yan who was beside him: "I brought a little gift, hoping to make up for one or two."
Zhuo Yan walked over to the servant next to King Liuli.
"Make it up, the king's words are really light." The person who spoke was sitting opposite him, drinking wine by himself, and looked about 30 years old by visual inspection.
"This is my son Dui, the third son Zili, and the youngest son Ling." Liuli Wang pointed to the audience and introduced him.
It's just that the three of them didn't pay attention to him, and he naturally knew the reason for the food in his hands.
"I heard that the lord of the country is very skilled in martial arts, and I want to ask for advice." Zi Dui said, a little provocative.
"His Royal Highness Dui Wang, I'm really ashamed that I don't know martial arts."
"It's better for me to accompany His Highness through a few tricks." Zhuo Yan said behind him.
"Also!" Zidui jumped from his seat and stood in the middle of the banquet hall.
"Please" Zhuo Yan came out and let Zidui make a move.
Zidui held the sword in his backhand, held it flat against his chest, and stared at Zhuo Yan, full of chilling intent, which was incompatible with his purple brocade clothes.
Zhuo Yan stood two steps away from him, dressed in plain and elegant green clothes, with a personable demeanor.
I don't know Zidui's skills in moves, so I can only wait for him to make the first move, and see the move.
Zidui's sword was out of its sheath and stabbed straight out.
Hearing a "ding", Zhuo Yan dodged to block back with his scabbard.
Zidui swung his sword again, the force of the sword was overwhelming, and he followed every step. The sword's energy pierced the wind, causing the gauze hanging on the beam to flutter.
Zhuo Yan drew out his sword, followed Zidui's moves, and spun around in the banquet hall.
Zidui kept changing his moves, and saw the cold light flashing by the shadow of the sword, stabbing everyone so hard that they couldn't open their eyes.
Zhuo Yan volleyed and passed over Zidui's head.
Zidui suddenly turned around and jumped up, swung down from the head, his momentum was so urgent, Zhuo Yan couldn't retreat with the power of the sword!
With a sound of "ding", Zhuo Yan's sword could not withstand the vibration brought by Zidui's sword energy and fell to the ground.
Zhuo Yan picked up the sword on the ground, and gave it up: "Your Highness is good at swordsmanship, Zhuo Yan is willing to bow down, His Highness's sword is really a peerless sword, let me have the honor to pass a few moves with it."
Zhuo Yan walked past him, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, stuffed a bead into Zidui's hand, walked back to his seat and sat down.
Everyone cheered and applauded, and the banquet hall became lively.
Only Zidui's face was extremely dark.
It was the string of beads on his hair bun, hanging behind his ears, Zhuo Yan was able to remove it without his knowledge, it shows that he was very skillful, he could get even a single bead, and it cut his throat What's the problem?
"It's really a good sword, Ah Li will definitely like it if he sees it." Zhi Ming sighed.
…………
The hustle and bustle of the day receded, only the lanterns lit under the eaves illuminated the quiet night.
There was a gentle breeze, and the chirping of crickets came from the grass.
Zhi Ming sat in the courtyard, not hurting spring or autumn, but just getting used to going to bed late, afraid of nightmares...
There was a sound of footsteps from behind.
"This king came over to take a look. It's a good thing the king hasn't fallen asleep yet. You really neglected the king!" Liuli King appeared behind him.
Zhi Ming hurriedly stood up: "Zhi Ming has seen King Liuli."
Looking at the kind-faced Liuli King, Zhiming thought of the Taifu, and remembered how many times he fainted from anger, how stupid he was!Every time I think about it, it hurts my heart.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the son wants to be filial but the relatives are not there.
"Can you walk around the courtyard with me!" King Liuli looked at him with a smile.
"It's Zhiming's honor." Zhiming made way for King Liuli with some humility, and several attendants followed behind with lanterns.
"Tomorrow, I will offer sacrifices to my son. Three worships and nine kowtows will be performed on the roof, and then the coffin will be sent to the ancestral temple. The king is my son's friend, and we should have been invited to participate, but all the ministers and Dui'er are very hostile to the king. The king is also from a foreign land, so this king thinks that the king doesn't need to participate in the ceremony."
"I want to give Ziyu a ride." Zhi Ming stopped and looked at Liu Li Wang sincerely.
"The king came here tonight to let the lord know that my son went west and did not blame the lord at all. The one who can protect my son with his life must also treat my son wholeheartedly. Life and death are fate. The king hopes that the king can let go, but don't take all the blame on himself, this is what Yu'er doesn't want to see."
"A good person, leaving as soon as he said he would leave, how can he not feel sad, Ziyu's kindness to the king, how can he say that he can let go of it."
"This king knows that you are too obsessed. The lord of the country can come here in person, traveling thousands of miles and wading through mountains and rivers, instead of abandoning it like grass. It is my son's luck in this life to be able to make this friend."
The one who lost his son was the Liuli King, and he was still here to comfort himself, which is really pitiful for the parents of the world.
"It's a great honor for me to know Ziyu in this life."
Seeing that he didn't understand the meaning of his words, King Liuli had no choice but to say: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, especially the emperor's family. This king is over half a hundred years old and has been sick all the time. We don't have enough strength, so we agreed to pass the throne to Dui'er this year, but Yu'er is gone now, the establishment of a new king, marriage and other major events have to be postponed during the national funeral, and the royal family will have to stay in mourning for three years."
They walked to a corridor pavilion and sat down.
"I originally said that family ugliness should not be publicized. Seeing the lord blame himself so much, I couldn't bear it. Dui'er is suspicious by nature and cares about gains and losses. He is always afraid that Yu'er will threaten his throne, so he will let him stay away from Liuli and go to the Central Plains to study in the Central Plains." Culture, but God doesn't follow his wishes, and three years of mourning, I don't know what will happen in these three years. I am afraid that Dui'er will attribute all his grievances to the lord, and the lord has too few people. In this Liuli Kingdom I'm afraid that this king can't always protect the lord well, but Yu'er's all efforts will be wasted, it's better for the lord to return to the country earlier." Liuli King said naked.
"Just now the king said that he would be in mourning for three years?" At this point, he has already looked down on life and death.
"Yes! It is the custom of our country to observe mourning."
"I think it would be good to stay with Ziyu for three years. I also ask the king for permission. I just ask for a place where I can live."
King Liuli shook his head and sighed, saying so much and still not listening.
"No, the king of a country is the king of a country, how can he stay in another country for a long time, this will be regarded as a proton by people who don't know."
"Zhi Ming begs the king." Zhi Ming knelt down.
"No, no." Liuli King hurried to help him, and his words and deeds showed his father's love, which made Zhiming's desire to stay even stronger. Now he also has a family and cannot return to his country. flee, flee far away.
"Zhi Ming only asks the king to fulfill him." Zhi Ming knelt and couldn't get up.
"Why can't you understand, child! Get up and talk." Liu Li Wang helped him up and sat down.
"Tianquan's affairs have already been arranged. To be honest with the king, I don't want to go back. The Central Plains is full of wars, and I'm a little tired. This time, I have to find a place to stay for Ziyu's funeral. "Zhi Ming's words have already reached this point, and Liuli King's further words are chasing guests.
"That's right! Then this matter is still a bit difficult. Three years is not a short period of time. You are the lord of the country, and your status is embarrassing now. It is not convenient to arrange a palace. You can't live in the post house all the time, and live in the minister's house." Don’t worry, people from other domains can’t directly stay in the ancestral temple to guard the spirit.” The most important thing is the safety issue, it’s hard to guard against backstabs!
Liuli Wang tapped his fingers on the table and thought.
"Yes!" Liuli King slapped the stone table, his eyes lit up: "The mountain behind the ancestral temple is a holy lake, and there is a piece of land in the holy lake. Yu'er built a wooden house there. Well, that's a good place to go."
"Great!" Zhi Ming showed a gleam of joy.
"Did the lord see a river when he entered the city? That is the river drained from the holy lake. Its source is in the south. Nanzhou Pass is guarded by the Lin family. This king will order the Lin family to receive the lord. Tomorrow the king will order The lord has been in mourning for my son for three years, and he is confined to the island and cannot go out of the lake, so that people with ulterior motives cannot get close to the lord, but the lord has been wronged!" King Liuli kept sighing.
"Defenseless! This is very good. A peaceful life is what I yearn for."
"Then the king will go back today, and wait for the news of the king tomorrow." Liuli King stood up and took two steps and then turned around: "The lord can think about it. When everything is settled, the lord will return to the country. Late, there is really no need for any condemnation in our country."
Zhi Ming interrupted him: "No need, I've already thought it through very clearly. If I have this opportunity, I can make up for it. Just let me accompany Ziyu for three years, and I feel better."
Liuli King shook his head, turned and walked away, "This is my son's life."
"Your Majesty, go slowly!" Zhi Ming got up and sent Liuli King out of the corridor.
"Your Majesty" Zhuo Yan Zhuofan, who had been in the distance, came over.
"Let the rest of the guards go back, and you go back too."
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with it. Everyone in Liuli Kingdom is staring at each other, wishing to eat up the Majesty." Zhuo Yan said.
"How about this, the others go back, and your two brothers, Dong'er Xiaopang, stay."
"But……"
"Needless to say, a person under the eaves must have a proper posture. It is too insolent to have private soldiers by his side. A letter, telling General Lu to return in three years, don't need to say much to other people."
Does this other person refer to Mu Rongli?
…………
In the sky above the king's city, the sound of bells reverberated, and a horn sounded not far away. The scene that Zhi Ming could imagine was that under the sound of wailing, King Liuli and his ministers knocked on the roof three times and nine times.
And he was walking in the same direction as Ziyu, but the palace road was different. The guards of Nanzhouguan led the way, neither riding a horse nor taking a carriage, and everyone lowered their posture.
"I've seen the lord, I'm going down to Lin Yao." Lin Yao greeted him at the gate of Nanzhou Pass, wearing a suit of armor, which showed that he was on duty.
"General, there is no need to salute too much." Zhi Ming returned the salute to him.
"My father and elder brother have gone to the rooftop! I will take the Lord into the holy lake."
"I want to wait a while before going, and wait until the ceremony is over before leaving."
"Then we can go for a walk on the city wall." Lin Yao took him up the tower.
On one side of the city wall of Nanzhou Pass is the ancestral temple, and on the other side is the artificial river. They were walking on the city wall paved with stone slabs, but they could not see the roof, and could only hear the wailing sound of the ceremony.
"That is the ancestral temple, and behind it is the holy lake." Lin Yao pointed to a house with gray tiles not far away.
"The city guards of Shacheng praised the river very much!" Zhi Ming walked to the outside of the city and looked down.
"The city of Liuli Kingdom is built by mountains and rivers. Thanks to this river, the people of Liuli Kingdom love it."
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they came to the top of the city gate, and Zhi Ming silently looked at the cable bridge praised by the city guard.
"Does your majesty think it's useless to build such a bridge? Your majesty can think about it so easily. The lord of our country can also think of it. The bridge deck is made of iron sandalwood for thousands of years. It is not easy to be attacked by fire. Just sink to the surface of the water. Besides, this bridge is not used for defense, but for the daily work and rest of the Liuli Kingdom! If it is really going to involve a war, there will be a gathering of experts from all over the world, and you can attack the palace with just a cloud hook."
Zhiming slandered inwardly: "No matter how powerful they are, they would never have thought that my Tianquan has something called a flying falcon."

☆、Chapter 13
return period after three years
How long do you say three years?
Compared with what I said "the return date is not expected", there is still a limit to three years, no matter how long or short it is, why I was able to say such cruel words at that time, I don't know how desperate Zhiming was in his heart at that time, and now I have tasted it all The taste of it.
"Mo Lan, how long have I been in Tianquan?"
"It's been more than a month! Why does Your Majesty ask such a question?"
"Did you say three years old?"
"It depends on how you live. It must be like a year to stay so boring like you." Mo Lan put her hands on her chin, watched him paint, and said leisurely: "I think it's been six years since I knew Mu Yan. Well, did you say that six years is a long time, but why do I feel that six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you, Your Majesty! You and I have known each other for almost three years, do you think these three years are long?"
"Mo Lan, I haven't seen him for a long time, I miss him very much." Murong Li was drawing a picture, and the tip of the pen gently outlined Zhi Ming's outlines.
Mo Lan sat up from the couch: "We can go and see him, what's the use of you painting every day?"
"forget it!"
"The king still cares about you very much."
"is it?"
"Although he is so indifferent on the surface now, he is still very nervous about you in his heart."
"Does Mo Lan want to be promoted? Now I can be the master, and I don't have to ask others for it." Murongli looked up at him.
"Your Majesty don't want to put shackles on me anymore. I can only do this when I am a high official or a small official." Mo Lan got up and rubbed against Murong you, snatching her and his pen: "Your Majesty, don't draw anymore!" It's suffocating! If you think about it, let's go over and have a look now, let's go." Mo Lan dragged him up.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Ah Li is here to see you!" Mo Lan yelled and ran into the bedroom where the banquet was held, glanced at the empty bedroom, and asked the servant next to her. : "Where is His Majesty the King!"
"Go back to the princess, the king seems to have gone to the barracks!"
"A Li, let's wait here, maybe the king is coming back right now." Mo Lan dragged Murong Li behind him in and let him sit in front of the desk.
Murong Li was at his mercy, and just now Mo Lan called Ah Li, which he didn't think was unexpected, but felt very kind. Now in Tianquan, everyone in the palace regards him as a seducer, and only Mo Lan Still treat him so sincerely.
It was the first time for Murongli to step into Zhiming's bedroom, there were no gorgeous decorations, the gray veils fluttered, behind the desk was a topographic map of Zhongyuan, the most eye-catching thing was his paintings hanging on both sides, it seemed that Zhiming Feast didn't change everything here.
"This is drawn by Wang Shang, Ah Li, it looks exactly like you!" Mo Lan stood in front of her.
"Seeing that you are always reckless, the king is not here, let's go back first!" Murong Li wanted to stand up.
Mo Lan then came over and pressed him: "A Li, wait a little longer!"
"Stop messing around, Mo Lan! Look at how embarrassing this is."
"Go back and read the scroll again, how boring!" Mo Lan's eyes lit up: "Ah Li, why don't we go to the mountain to find Yu Qionghua?"
"Didn't you say that Yu Qionghua of Tianquan is at Xiangxutai?"
"There are always fish that slip through the net. Let's go find Yu Qiong in the valley. If we can find it, how exciting it will be! Let's go, let's go!" Mo Lan helped Murongli up.
Zhiyan sits in front of the desk and looks at the brochure.
"Your Majesty, please see Xutai's servant." A servant came in and reported.
"Quick Chuan" held the banquet and put down the bamboo rolls.
"I have seen the king, but the Lord Murong did not return to Xutai. The guards at the door saw that the Lord came to the king's bedroom. It is time for dinner! I came here to look for it." The servant stood timidly at the door, anxious , now that the sky is getting dark, they have actually realized that Murongli is missing!If something happened to Murongli, they would have to be buried with him.
"What, I haven't eaten yet at this hour, Lord Murong didn't come here, maybe he went to Princess Mo's mansion, you go and have a look." The banquet executive paused, left the desk and said: "I'd better go and have a look."
At this time, the waiter came in with tea, happened to hear what they said, and understood the seriousness of the matter. He shivered, and the tea in the cup overflowed onto the tea tray.
"Why are you doing this!" Zhi Yan walked up to him, turned around and stared at him and asked.
"Your Majesty, Lord Murong just came here." The servant hurriedly knelt down.
"What did you say?" The banquet executive's voice raised a few degrees.
"Just now Lord Murong and Princess Mo came to visit the king, and waited in the room for a while before the king came back..."
"Why don't you go to the barracks and call me, damn it..." Zhi Yan interrupted him.
"When the Murong Lord and the princess left, they mentioned that they were going to look for Yu Qionghua in the mountains." The servant said weakly.
"Come here, tell Mu Yan to come here, no, don't come here, tell him to go into the mountains immediately to look for the Lord Murong." The banquet executive ordered the guards who came in, his words were full of anger and eagerness.
"I'll take care of you when I come back." Zhiyan left a harsh word and walked out quickly...
Zhiyan didn't know where Murongli and the others were going, so he could only lead the guards blindly into the back mountain of the royal city to search.
A few lightning flashes appeared in the dark and boundless sky, the wind began to increase, and finally the strong wind blew down the raindrops.
There were many soldiers leading the banquet, and they lined up in a straight line and went straight into the mountain forest. After walking for two hours until reaching the top of the mountain, they didn't see a single person, so they had to turn back. With the help of the momentary light of lightning, you can see the road ahead.
It was Mao when they returned to Wangcheng, and it would be dawn soon. After the banquet, they had changed into wet clothes, and their wet hair was scattered behind them. .
Mu Yan on the other side went much smoother, he only brought twenty elite soldiers.Knowing the valley where the head of the county usually goes, when the torch was not extinguished, I saw a few broken branches on the side of the road, which must have blocked their way, so I have to confirm that their search route is correct, but this time I walked a long way and couldn't find anyone. They shouted as they walked, should I be able to hear them?
"Lord Mu, there is a fire under the cliff over there." A guard came to report.
"Tell everyone to come over and go to the other side of the cliff." Mu Yan said loudly, his voice was quickly covered by the sound of rain.
Murongli and Mo Lan in the cave looked at the wet group of people, and always felt funny. They were both fine, but they could make this group of people so embarrassed.
"It's raining so hard, let's leave after dawn." Murongli said to Mu Yan.
"Princess, don't mess around so much in the future, how many people are worried about you coming out!" Mu Yan's accusation made Murongli feel a little love.
The guards lit torches at the entrance of the cave and leaned against the mountain wall to rest. Mu Yan was with them inside, and Mo Lan moved over to lean against him.
Murongli couldn't sleep because of their uproar. He leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes, and listened to the howling wind and rain outside.
The first bird call in the morning woke up Murongli. He never dared to fall into a deep sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at Mu Yan who was standing beside him. In his arms, Mu Yan put his hands on him, and his wide sleeves covered Mo Lan's whole body.
Looking at it, I feel my heart is slightly aching.
Mu Yan opened his eyes and saw Murong Lili staring at him, and immediately sat up: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Murong Li looked away and turned his head to one side.Youyou said: "What is the crime?"
"Does Qingyu have a letter?"
"not yet."
At this moment, Mo Lan who was lying in his arms moved, opened his eyes and saw Mu Yan, stretched out his hand to touch Mu Yan's face: "Mu Yan, it's really you, I thought I was dreaming."
"Princess, get up quickly." Mu Yan took his hand, trying to help him sit up.
"I don't!" Mo Lan shook off his hand, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rubbed her face into his arms.
"Princess, princess, don't mess around, princess, the king is here!" Mu Yan raised his hands with embarrassment.
Mo Lan was taken aback, then quickly straightened up, tidied up her clothes, and looked at Murongli in embarrassment.
The guards at the entrance of the cave woke up one after another when they heard their voices.
"Let's go! We're going down the mountain!" Murong Li stood up.
The mountain road is a bit slippery, and as soon as it touches the branches, the water droplets on the leaves will fall down, dripping coldly on the skin.
"Mu Yan, hold me." Mo Lan's voice slid down as soon as he finished speaking, and Mu Yan grabbed a blank.
"Princess!" Mu Yan jumped down to help Mo Lan up.
"The foot hurts, the foot hurts!" Mo Lan yelled painlessly.
"Get it on your back!" Murong Li walked past them, leaving them behind at once, looking at them from behind would feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Mu Yan, you haven't carried me on your back for a long time!"
Seeing his pitiful eyes, Mu Yan knelt down.
"Mu Yan, do you know that I regret introducing you to the king! I used to think that you would have a good future with the king, but now that you are gone, I miss you so much that I have no appetite for anything. "Mo Lan rested her chin on Mu Yan's shoulder and whispered to him.
"I will go back to see you often." Mu Yan does not regard the princess's mansion as his home, but he still has a mission, and Yaoguang Palace has been kind to him in nurturing him.
At noon, the banquet executive who hadn't rested all night was leaning on the bed drowsily wearing his shoes. The servant came in cautiously and asked if he wanted lunch, but he sent him out.
Didn't go to the morning court this morning, the prime minister came to the bedroom to see the banquet in the morning, the banquet only said that he had a headache and did not go to the court, but the prime minister knew in his heart that Murong Li disappeared last night, so he went to the mountains to search for the banquet all night.
When the prime minister left, he kept shaking his head and sighing: "This seducer is a monster! How far is it going to harm my heavenly power?"
"king
"I'm a little envious of their current life. Herding sheep and horses is quite carefree." Zhi Ming said.
"I also often miss the days when I was a child herding sheep, and now I can't help myself!"
A good sentence is involuntary.
……
Not far away, Dong'er was running around chasing the flock of sheep. The child was carried by his father onto the horse and led back.
Zhi Ming reached out and touched the little goat cake that was grazing next to it. The fluffy pure white reminded him of his two little black goats: "It's so beautiful!"
Dong'er ran over and panted, "Let's live here from now on, let's not leave, okay?"
don't go?
This is also the life he wanted, but suddenly there was a feeling of loss in his heart.
"Your Majesty, come back! It's time to eat!" Zhuo Yan stood in front of the stone house, waving at them and calling.
How wonderful it feels to drive the sheep out in the morning, drive the sheep back at dusk, have relatives standing at the door waiting for them, and there is delicious food in the house...
Zhi Ming walked back and saw that their carriage and luggage had been packed.
"We'll be on our way after we eat! We've been on this journey for more than ten days, I'm afraid King Liuli will be in a hurry!" Zhuo Yan checked their carriage.
"Alright!"
No matter how reluctant you are, you will eventually return to the dust.
The author has something to say: When you come back triumphantly, I want to go out for a walk, why not just go to Ziyu's hometown.
It was because of Zhiming's words that I wrote this article.
As a person who insisted on leaving the party, I was deeply saddened by Zhiming's promise to others, and I was speechless.
Zhiming must go to Liuli...
☆、Chapter 11 The Dust Settled
After another two days of walking, I ate and drank on the way, only occasionally stopping to rest.
The vast grassland has disappeared, and there are only yellow sand and rocks on both sides of the post road. Weathered rock peaks stand on both sides of the road, like guarding soldiers.
After so many days of bumping in the carriage, Zhiming changed to riding a horse when he felt bored. His vision was wide and his mood was open-minded.
"This is Fengyan Valley. After passing through Fengyan Valley, we will be in Liuli King City. We will be able to leave the valley in a while." Yuan Tai and he rode side by side on horses.
"..."
"The lord seems to be very worried. It's not good. Over time, you will get angry in your heart. It's better to let go of it as soon as possible!"
Zhi Ming looked at Yuan Tai, but stopped talking.
Some pain cannot cry out.
"The lord and the child are not much older. Although we have only known the lord for a few days, seeing the lord is full of worries, he feels a little sad. The lord doesn't have to hold grudges, he can treat the subordinates as elders."
elder.He instantly thought of the Grand Tutor, those quiet and good years, those who loved him, they didn't know how normal they were until they lost them.
"My lord, have you ever been hurt by someone you care about?" Zhi Ming whispered lightly.
"No, we are the ones favored by God. Let me tell you a story for the lord! When my father was herding horses and sheep, there was a life-and-death friend named Lie. One day they found a vein of china clay while grazing. At that time, my father was young and frivolous, eager for quick success. Since both of them didn't know how to make pottery, my father insisted on asking for credit from King Liuli, and he didn't listen to Lie Sheng's persuasion. Father, reported to the imperial court in his own name, and soon he was rewarded. King Liuli built Shacheng for him, built a kiln with funds from the treasury, and appointed him to make pottery immediately. My father felt that Lie had betrayed him. He cut off contact."
Yuan Tai was silent for a while and continued: "Later, for as long as a year, Lie did not fire a single kiln of complete porcelain, and every kiln had to be discarded, which cost a lot of money. Gaining confidence, after failing to open a kiln again, King Liuli ordered Lie to be executed, and posted a notice that anyone who could produce porcelain would be offered a reward with Shacheng, and he would be made an official and a nobleman."
The horse was walking leisurely on the post road, kicking up some dust, Zhi Ming didn't speak, he already guessed the ending in his heart.
"Later, Lie's family handed over the relics to his father. It was a booklet, which recorded in detail the firing of various pottery. The humidity of the clay, the time and temperature of firing, the size, and the shape were all displayed. Later, the father I used the skills in this book to change official positions, and brought Lie’s family to live together in Shacheng. My father later said: The deepest relationship is nothing more than love and hate. If two people who are friends between life and death, in the end, they must evolve into either you die or you die. I live so far, then let yourself make a choice, you choose you to die for him, or choose him to die for you. As long as you face life and death, everything will be clear. The king can know his own answer."
You die for him?He died for you?
This question may have been answered when his sword pierced Murongli's chest. I don't know what the world would be like without Murongli. He still couldn't get anything at the cost of Murongli's life.
It's just that he still can't let it go.
"Don't think about it too much, the lord. Let your heart settle down for a while. Since you have come to my Liuli Kingdom, you should enjoy the mountains and rivers and feel the customs."
"Zhi Ming thanked Lord Chengshou for his enlightenment." The wind and sand seemed to be a little bit bigger, and Zhi Ming's eyes were widened by the blowing, with tears in his eyes.
…………
After passing Fengyan Valley, you can see Liuliwang City from a distance. It is located under a rolling mountain range, with lone peaks standing tall and green all over the mountains, covering the buildings with white walls and blue tiles. Under the blue sky, it forms an elegant The dark green landscape painting full of energy.
"That's the Glazed Mountain Range. The odd mountain stands tall and surrounds the entire Glazed King City. It's a natural barrier! Because behind the mountain is the Glazed Strait." Yuan Tai pointed to the Glazed King City in the distance.
"The mountains are continuous, steep and green, full of green, glazed blue tiles, white walls and red railings, it can be described as a picturesque country." Looking at it, the whole heart is melted by this picture.
"The lord is admiring it! The officials also feel that this is the perfect miracle that nature bestowed on me in Liuli Kingdom. But wait a moment and let the lord see a more shocking project."
"Oh! Really, I can't wait!" Zhi Ming said, speeding up the horse.
On the street entering the city stands a tall ancient gate archway, which depicts colorful patterns, and a large scarlet plaque is engraved with three golden characters of "Liuli Kingdom", which is sacred and solemn.
Zhiming rode a horse and followed Yuantai, and a group of people stepped into the Liuli Kingdom. On both sides of the road were teahouses, restaurants, post houses and other shops. Braids or wearing Dou Li, a scene of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
They crossed two streets, and a tall city wall and a tall red wooden gate appeared in front of them, only separated by a river.
Yuan Tai walked to the bridge and stopped, and Zhi Ming walked over to join him shoulder to shoulder.
"My lord, what I'm talking about is this moat. This river is drawn from the holy lake, a tributary of the Liuguang Strait. The whole process was manually excavated. It took a year. This river nurtures the Liuli Kingdom. People, if you want to enter the Liuli King City, you have to pass this bridge. This bridge is put down every morning, and it is put away at dusk. The iron chain is put away by rollers. It is the greatness of mankind to be able to make such a large project. The miracle, I really admire."
"This river is really amazing, and the journey has benefited a lot, so it's worth the trip." Zhi Ming nodded to him.
"The world is so big, why don't you come out of your own small world!" Yuan Tai said and walked into the Liuli King City. His mission has been completed, and I hope he can walk the next road well by himself.
After walking the stone bridge for about three meters, we stepped into the wooden cableway, about six meters long and five meters wide.The horseshoes stepped on it, making a sound of thumping, and the water flowing under the bridge was long and clear.
Compared with the outside, the inner city of Wangcheng looks very quiet and solemn, the streets are wide and clean, few pedestrians are seen, there are only one mansion, and there are stone statues in front of the gates, in different shapes, only one mansion has a stone statue with a human face and a beast body monster, looking creepy.
I don't know how many streets I walked, and finally stepped into the palace.
"In the Lower Liuli Kingdom, the Taiwei, the king and several highnesses are receiving the vassal kings in the court hall, discussing the sacrificial activities for tomorrow, and now they can't get away. The minister is waiting for the king here, first please ask the king to rest at the posthouse, In the evening, the lord of the country will be called in for advice."
"No problem, I'm sorry to bother you, Captain!" Zhi Ming replied.
"Please..." Taiwei was full of disdain, and walked forward swaggeringly.
Zhuo Yan Zhuofan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of resentment, but he could only suppress his anger, even if they were thrown into prison, they would not resist, who told them that they should be responsible for Liuli Kingdom first.
The post house was relatively comfortable and clean, which did not make things difficult for them.
Zhi Ming put the wooden box on the table and stroked it with his hand: "Ziyu, we're home."
"Your Majesty, let's go for a walk!" Xiaopang wanted to divert his attention, otherwise he would start to fall into pain again!
"No, you have to go by yourself, I'm not that interested." Zhi Ming pursed his mouth and sprayed him in the face.
Xiaopang felt relieved when he saw his joking appearance: "Then I'll go and see Dong'er. I don't know where he went. The king should lie down and rest for a while! The people in the palace just came to pass the message, Liuli The king has set up a dinner party, and I will send someone to pick up the king later." After finishing speaking, he backed out.
Zhi Ming walked into Lige and sat on the bed, leaning against the bed rail with his hands in his hands and staring in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, when he heard the slight sound of the door opening, Zhi Ming thought Xiaopang had returned, so he didn't care.
The visitor walked around the room, looked left and right, and after a while there was the sound of the door opening again.
"Ling'er, hurry up! Did you find the treasure, someone should come later." A head poked through the door.
"No, brother, could it be that they didn't put them in this room?" There was a childish voice.
Zhi Ming cheered up and sat up, and saw the figures of the two children through the screen.
"Ah! This box is very beautiful, it must contain treasures." The child named Ling'er saw the box on the table.
Zhi Ming couldn't hold his breath, and ran out from inside, startling the two people outside.
"Ling'er, run!" The people outside pushed the door open.
"If you want to run, leave the box behind." Zhi Ming reached out and grabbed the child's back collar.
"Brother, brother..." The child struggled.
"Let go, let him go quickly, or I'll be rude to you." The child glared at him angrily and shouted.
"Bring the box."
"Give Linger to him quickly."
Zhi Ming snatched the box from his hand, and let go of the child: "If you don't learn well at a young age, if you don't ask yourself, you will be called a thief, you know. There are treasures here, but they are useless to you."
"You wait for me, Ling'er, let's go." After speaking, she ran away quickly.
After a while, King Liuli sent someone to take the box away.
…………
☆、Chapter 12 is finally dead
At the dinner, Zhi Ming sat on one side, and immediately recognized the two children sitting diagonally across from each other. The older one was about eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one was seven or eight years old. They were dressed in fancy clothes and sat upright. with.
"The Lord Zhiming came from afar, so he should have given him a good reception, but there is a national funeral in our country, so it's not appropriate to make a big fanfare. Everything should be kept simple, and I hope the Lord will understand." King Liuli held up his wine glass to respect him.
"We are the ones who want to apologize, and ask Liuli King to forgive." Zhi Ming picked up a booklet and handed it to Zhuo Yan who was beside him: "I brought a little gift, hoping to make up for one or two."
Zhuo Yan walked over to the servant next to King Liuli.
"Make it up, the king's words are really light." The person who spoke was sitting opposite him, drinking wine by himself, and looked about 30 years old by visual inspection.
"This is my son Dui, the third son Zili, and the youngest son Ling." Liuli Wang pointed to the audience and introduced him.
It's just that the three of them didn't pay attention to him, and he naturally knew the reason for the food in his hands.
"I heard that the lord of the country is very skilled in martial arts, and I want to ask for advice." Zi Dui said, a little provocative.
"His Royal Highness Dui Wang, I'm really ashamed that I don't know martial arts."
"It's better for me to accompany His Highness through a few tricks." Zhuo Yan said behind him.
"Also!" Zidui jumped from his seat and stood in the middle of the banquet hall.
"Please" Zhuo Yan came out and let Zidui make a move.
Zidui held the sword in his backhand, held it flat against his chest, and stared at Zhuo Yan, full of chilling intent, which was incompatible with his purple brocade clothes.
Zhuo Yan stood two steps away from him, dressed in plain and elegant green clothes, with a personable demeanor.
I don't know Zidui's skills in moves, so I can only wait for him to make the first move, and see the move.
Zidui's sword was out of its sheath and stabbed straight out.
Hearing a "ding", Zhuo Yan dodged to block back with his scabbard.
Zidui swung his sword again, the force of the sword was overwhelming, and he followed every step. The sword's energy pierced the wind, causing the gauze hanging on the beam to flutter.
Zhuo Yan drew out his sword, followed Zidui's moves, and spun around in the banquet hall.
Zidui kept changing his moves, and saw the cold light flashing by the shadow of the sword, stabbing everyone so hard that they couldn't open their eyes.
Zhuo Yan volleyed and passed over Zidui's head.
Zidui suddenly turned around and jumped up, swung down from the head, his momentum was so urgent, Zhuo Yan couldn't retreat with the power of the sword!
With a sound of "ding", Zhuo Yan's sword could not withstand the vibration brought by Zidui's sword energy and fell to the ground.
Zhuo Yan picked up the sword on the ground, and gave it up: "Your Highness is good at swordsmanship, Zhuo Yan is willing to bow down, His Highness's sword is really a peerless sword, let me have the honor to pass a few moves with it."
Zhuo Yan walked past him, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, stuffed a bead into Zidui's hand, walked back to his seat and sat down.
Everyone cheered and applauded, and the banquet hall became lively.
Only Zidui's face was extremely dark.
It was the string of beads on his hair bun, hanging behind his ears, Zhuo Yan was able to remove it without his knowledge, it shows that he was very skillful, he could get even a single bead, and it cut his throat What's the problem?
"It's really a good sword, Ah Li will definitely like it if he sees it." Zhi Ming sighed.
…………
The hustle and bustle of the day receded, only the lanterns lit under the eaves illuminated the quiet night.
There was a gentle breeze, and the chirping of crickets came from the grass.
Zhi Ming sat in the courtyard, not hurting spring or autumn, but just getting used to going to bed late, afraid of nightmares...
There was a sound of footsteps from behind.
"This king came over to take a look. It's a good thing the king hasn't fallen asleep yet. You really neglected the king!" Liuli King appeared behind him.
Zhi Ming hurriedly stood up: "Zhi Ming has seen King Liuli."
Looking at the kind-faced Liuli King, Zhiming thought of the Taifu, and remembered how many times he fainted from anger, how stupid he was!Every time I think about it, it hurts my heart.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the son wants to be filial but the relatives are not there.
"Can you walk around the courtyard with me!" King Liuli looked at him with a smile.
"It's Zhiming's honor." Zhiming made way for King Liuli with some humility, and several attendants followed behind with lanterns.
"Tomorrow, I will offer sacrifices to my son. Three worships and nine kowtows will be performed on the roof, and then the coffin will be sent to the ancestral temple. The king is my son's friend, and we should have been invited to participate, but all the ministers and Dui'er are very hostile to the king. The king is also from a foreign land, so this king thinks that the king doesn't need to participate in the ceremony."
"I want to give Ziyu a ride." Zhi Ming stopped and looked at Liu Li Wang sincerely.
"The king came here tonight to let the lord know that my son went west and did not blame the lord at all. The one who can protect my son with his life must also treat my son wholeheartedly. Life and death are fate. The king hopes that the king can let go, but don't take all the blame on himself, this is what Yu'er doesn't want to see."
"A good person, leaving as soon as he said he would leave, how can he not feel sad, Ziyu's kindness to the king, how can he say that he can let go of it."
"This king knows that you are too obsessed. The lord of the country can come here in person, traveling thousands of miles and wading through mountains and rivers, instead of abandoning it like grass. It is my son's luck in this life to be able to make this friend."
The one who lost his son was the Liuli King, and he was still here to comfort himself, which is really pitiful for the parents of the world.
"It's a great honor for me to know Ziyu in this life."
Seeing that he didn't understand the meaning of his words, King Liuli had no choice but to say: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, especially the emperor's family. This king is over half a hundred years old and has been sick all the time. We don't have enough strength, so we agreed to pass the throne to Dui'er this year, but Yu'er is gone now, the establishment of a new king, marriage and other major events have to be postponed during the national funeral, and the royal family will have to stay in mourning for three years."
They walked to a corridor pavilion and sat down.
"I originally said that family ugliness should not be publicized. Seeing the lord blame himself so much, I couldn't bear it. Dui'er is suspicious by nature and cares about gains and losses. He is always afraid that Yu'er will threaten his throne, so he will let him stay away from Liuli and go to the Central Plains to study in the Central Plains." Culture, but God doesn't follow his wishes, and three years of mourning, I don't know what will happen in these three years. I am afraid that Dui'er will attribute all his grievances to the lord, and the lord has too few people. In this Liuli Kingdom I'm afraid that this king can't always protect the lord well, but Yu'er's all efforts will be wasted, it's better for the lord to return to the country earlier." Liuli King said naked.
"Just now the king said that he would be in mourning for three years?" At this point, he has already looked down on life and death.
"Yes! It is the custom of our country to observe mourning."
"I think it would be good to stay with Ziyu for three years. I also ask the king for permission. I just ask for a place where I can live."
King Liuli shook his head and sighed, saying so much and still not listening.
"No, the king of a country is the king of a country, how can he stay in another country for a long time, this will be regarded as a proton by people who don't know."
"Zhi Ming begs the king." Zhi Ming knelt down.
"No, no." Liuli King hurried to help him, and his words and deeds showed his father's love, which made Zhiming's desire to stay even stronger. Now he also has a family and cannot return to his country. flee, flee far away.
"Zhi Ming only asks the king to fulfill him." Zhi Ming knelt and couldn't get up.
"Why can't you understand, child! Get up and talk." Liu Li Wang helped him up and sat down.
"Tianquan's affairs have already been arranged. To be honest with the king, I don't want to go back. The Central Plains is full of wars, and I'm a little tired. This time, I have to find a place to stay for Ziyu's funeral. "Zhi Ming's words have already reached this point, and Liuli King's further words are chasing guests.
"That's right! Then this matter is still a bit difficult. Three years is not a short period of time. You are the lord of the country, and your status is embarrassing now. It is not convenient to arrange a palace. You can't live in the post house all the time, and live in the minister's house." Don’t worry, people from other domains can’t directly stay in the ancestral temple to guard the spirit.” The most important thing is the safety issue, it’s hard to guard against backstabs!
Liuli Wang tapped his fingers on the table and thought.
"Yes!" Liuli King slapped the stone table, his eyes lit up: "The mountain behind the ancestral temple is a holy lake, and there is a piece of land in the holy lake. Yu'er built a wooden house there. Well, that's a good place to go."
"Great!" Zhi Ming showed a gleam of joy.
"Did the lord see a river when he entered the city? That is the river drained from the holy lake. Its source is in the south. Nanzhou Pass is guarded by the Lin family. This king will order the Lin family to receive the lord. Tomorrow the king will order The lord has been in mourning for my son for three years, and he is confined to the island and cannot go out of the lake, so that people with ulterior motives cannot get close to the lord, but the lord has been wronged!" King Liuli kept sighing.
"Defenseless! This is very good. A peaceful life is what I yearn for."
"Then the king will go back today, and wait for the news of the king tomorrow." Liuli King stood up and took two steps and then turned around: "The lord can think about it. When everything is settled, the lord will return to the country. Late, there is really no need for any condemnation in our country."
Zhi Ming interrupted him: "No need, I've already thought it through very clearly. If I have this opportunity, I can make up for it. Just let me accompany Ziyu for three years, and I feel better."
Liuli King shook his head, turned and walked away, "This is my son's life."
"Your Majesty, go slowly!" Zhi Ming got up and sent Liuli King out of the corridor.
"Your Majesty" Zhuo Yan Zhuofan, who had been in the distance, came over.
"Let the rest of the guards go back, and you go back too."
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with it. Everyone in Liuli Kingdom is staring at each other, wishing to eat up the Majesty." Zhuo Yan said.
"How about this, the others go back, and your two brothers, Dong'er Xiaopang, stay."
"But……"
"Needless to say, a person under the eaves must have a proper posture. It is too insolent to have private soldiers by his side. A letter, telling General Lu to return in three years, don't need to say much to other people."
Does this other person refer to Mu Rongli?
…………
In the sky above the king's city, the sound of bells reverberated, and a horn sounded not far away. The scene that Zhi Ming could imagine was that under the sound of wailing, King Liuli and his ministers knocked on the roof three times and nine times.
And he was walking in the same direction as Ziyu, but the palace road was different. The guards of Nanzhouguan led the way, neither riding a horse nor taking a carriage, and everyone lowered their posture.
"I've seen the lord, I'm going down to Lin Yao." Lin Yao greeted him at the gate of Nanzhou Pass, wearing a suit of armor, which showed that he was on duty.
"General, there is no need to salute too much." Zhi Ming returned the salute to him.
"My father and elder brother have gone to the rooftop! I will take the Lord into the holy lake."
"I want to wait a while before going, and wait until the ceremony is over before leaving."
"Then we can go for a walk on the city wall." Lin Yao took him up the tower.
On one side of the city wall of Nanzhou Pass is the ancestral temple, and on the other side is the artificial river. They were walking on the city wall paved with stone slabs, but they could not see the roof, and could only hear the wailing sound of the ceremony.
"That is the ancestral temple, and behind it is the holy lake." Lin Yao pointed to a house with gray tiles not far away.
"The city guards of Shacheng praised the river very much!" Zhi Ming walked to the outside of the city and looked down.
"The city of Liuli Kingdom is built by mountains and rivers. Thanks to this river, the people of Liuli Kingdom love it."
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they came to the top of the city gate, and Zhi Ming silently looked at the cable bridge praised by the city guard.
"Does your majesty think it's useless to build such a bridge? Your majesty can think about it so easily. The lord of our country can also think of it. The bridge deck is made of iron sandalwood for thousands of years. It is not easy to be attacked by fire. Just sink to the surface of the water. Besides, this bridge is not used for defense, but for the daily work and rest of the Liuli Kingdom! If it is really going to involve a war, there will be a gathering of experts from all over the world, and you can attack the palace with just a cloud hook."
Zhiming slandered inwardly: "No matter how powerful they are, they would never have thought that my Tianquan has something called a flying falcon."
………………
☆、Chapter 13
return period after three years
How long do you say three years?
Compared with what I said "the return date is not expected", there is still a limit to three years, no matter how long or short it is, why I was able to say such cruel words at that time, I don't know how desperate Zhiming was in his heart at that time, and now I have tasted it all The taste of it.
"Mo Lan, how long have I been in Tianquan?"
"It's been more than a month! Why does Your Majesty ask such a question?"
"Did you say three years old?"
"It depends on how you live. It must be like a year to stay so boring like you." Mo Lan put her hands on her chin, watched him paint, and said leisurely: "I think it's been six years since I knew Mu Yan. Well, did you say that six years is a long time, but why do I feel that six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you, Your Majesty! You and I have known each other for almost three years, do you think these three years are long?"
"Mo Lan, I haven't seen him for a long time, I miss him very much." Murong Li was drawing a picture, and the tip of the pen gently outlined Zhi Ming's outlines.
Mo Lan sat up from the couch: "We can go and see him, what's the use of you painting every day?"
"forget it!"
"The king still cares about you very much."
"is it?"
"Although he is so indifferent on the surface now, he is still very nervous about you in his heart."
"Does Mo Lan want to be promoted? Now I can be the master, and I don't have to ask others for it." Murongli looked up at him.
"Your Majesty don't want to put shackles on me anymore. I can only do this when I am a high official or a small official." Mo Lan got up and rubbed against Murong you, snatching her and his pen: "Your Majesty, don't draw anymore!" It's suffocating! If you think about it, let's go over and have a look now, let's go." Mo Lan dragged him up.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Ah Li is here to see you!" Mo Lan yelled and ran into the bedroom where the banquet was held, glanced at the empty bedroom, and asked the servant next to her. : "Where is His Majesty the King!"
"Go back to the princess, the king seems to have gone to the barracks!"
"A Li, let's wait here, maybe the king is coming back right now." Mo Lan dragged Murong Li behind him in and let him sit in front of the desk.
Murong Li was at his mercy, and just now Mo Lan called Ah Li, which he didn't think was unexpected, but felt very kind. Now in Tianquan, everyone in the palace regards him as a seducer, and only Mo Lan Still treat him so sincerely.
It was the first time for Murongli to step into Zhiming's bedroom, there were no gorgeous decorations, the gray veils fluttered, behind the desk was a topographic map of Zhongyuan, the most eye-catching thing was his paintings hanging on both sides, it seemed that Zhiming Feast didn't change everything here.
"This is drawn by Wang Shang, Ah Li, it looks exactly like you!" Mo Lan stood in front of her.
"Seeing that you are always reckless, the king is not here, let's go back first!" Murong Li wanted to stand up.
Mo Lan then came over and pressed him: "A Li, wait a little longer!"
"Stop messing around, Mo Lan! Look at how embarrassing this is."
"Go back and read the scroll again, how boring!" Mo Lan's eyes lit up: "Ah Li, why don't we go to the mountain to find Yu Qionghua?"
"Didn't you say that Yu Qionghua of Tianquan is at Xiangxutai?"
"There are always fish that slip through the net. Let's go find Yu Qiong in the valley. If we can find it, how exciting it will be! Let's go, let's go!" Mo Lan helped Murongli up.
Zhiyan sits in front of the desk and looks at the brochure.
"Your Majesty, please see Xutai's servant." A servant came in and reported.
"Quick Chuan" held the banquet and put down the bamboo rolls.
"I have seen the king, but the Lord Murong did not return to Xutai. The guards at the door saw that the Lord came to the king's bedroom. It is time for dinner! I came here to look for it." The servant stood timidly at the door, anxious , now that the sky is getting dark, they have actually realized that Murongli is missing!If something happened to Murongli, they would have to be buried with him.
"What, I haven't eaten yet at this hour, Lord Murong didn't come here, maybe he went to Princess Mo's mansion, you go and have a look." The banquet executive paused, left the desk and said: "I'd better go and have a look."
At this time, the waiter came in with tea, happened to hear what they said, and understood the seriousness of the matter. He shivered, and the tea in the cup overflowed onto the tea tray.
"Why are you doing this!" Zhi Yan walked up to him, turned around and stared at him and asked.
"Your Majesty, Lord Murong just came here." The servant hurriedly knelt down.
"What did you say?" The banquet executive's voice raised a few degrees.
"Just now Lord Murong and Princess Mo came to visit the king, and waited in the room for a while before the king came back..."
"Why don't you go to the barracks and call me, damn it..." Zhi Yan interrupted him.
"When the Murong Lord and the princess left, they mentioned that they were going to look for Yu Qionghua in the mountains." The servant said weakly.
"Come here, tell Mu Yan to come here, no, don't come here, tell him to go into the mountains immediately to look for the Lord Murong." The banquet executive ordered the guards who came in, his words were full of anger and eagerness.
"I'll take care of you when I come back." Zhiyan left a harsh word and walked out quickly...
Zhiyan didn't know where Murongli and the others were going, so he could only lead the guards blindly into the back mountain of the royal city to search.
A few lightning flashes appeared in the dark and boundless sky, the wind began to increase, and finally the strong wind blew down the raindrops.
There were many soldiers leading the banquet, and they lined up in a straight line and went straight into the mountain forest. After walking for two hours until reaching the top of the mountain, they didn't see a single person, so they had to turn back. With the help of the momentary light of lightning, you can see the road ahead.
It was Mao when they returned to Wangcheng, and it would be dawn soon. After the banquet, they had changed into wet clothes, and their wet hair was scattered behind them. .
Mu Yan on the other side went much smoother, he only brought twenty elite soldiers.Knowing the valley where the head of the county usually goes, when the torch was not extinguished, I saw a few broken branches on the side of the road, which must have blocked their way, so I have to confirm that their search route is correct, but this time I walked a long way and couldn't find anyone. They shouted as they walked, should I be able to hear them?
"Lord Mu, there is a fire under the cliff over there." A guard came to report.
"Tell everyone to come over and go to the other side of the cliff." Mu Yan said loudly, his voice was quickly covered by the sound of rain.
Murongli and Mo Lan in the cave looked at the wet group of people, and always felt funny. They were both fine, but they could make this group of people so embarrassed.
"It's raining so hard, let's leave after dawn." Murongli said to Mu Yan.
"Princess, don't mess around so much in the future, how many people are worried about you coming out!" Mu Yan's accusation made Murongli feel a little love.
The guards lit torches at the entrance of the cave and leaned against the mountain wall to rest. Mu Yan was with them inside, and Mo Lan moved over to lean against him.
Murongli couldn't sleep because of their uproar. He leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes, and listened to the howling wind and rain outside.
The first bird call in the morning woke up Murongli. He never dared to fall into a deep sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at Mu Yan who was standing beside him. In his arms, Mu Yan put his hands on him, and his wide sleeves covered Mo Lan's whole body.
Looking at it, I feel my heart is slightly aching.
Mu Yan opened his eyes and saw Murong Lili staring at him, and immediately sat up: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Murong Li looked away and turned his head to one side.Youyou said: "What is the crime?"
"Does Qingyu have a letter?"
"not yet."
At this moment, Mo Lan who was lying in his arms moved, opened his eyes and saw Mu Yan, stretched out his hand to touch Mu Yan's face: "Mu Yan, it's really you, I thought I was dreaming."
"Princess, get up quickly." Mu Yan took his hand, trying to help him sit up.
"I don't!" Mo Lan shook off his hand, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rubbed her face into his arms.
"Princess, princess, don't mess around, princess, the king is here!" Mu Yan raised his hands with embarrassment.
Mo Lan was taken aback, then quickly straightened up, tidied up her clothes, and looked at Murongli in embarrassment.
The guards at the entrance of the cave woke up one after another when they heard their voices.
"Let's go! We're going down the mountain!" Murong Li stood up.
The mountain road is a bit slippery, and as soon as it touches the branches, the water droplets on the leaves will fall down, dripping coldly on the skin.
"Mu Yan, hold me." Mo Lan's voice slid down as soon as he finished speaking, and Mu Yan grabbed a blank.
"Princess!" Mu Yan jumped down to help Mo Lan up.
"The foot hurts, the foot hurts!" Mo Lan yelled painlessly.
"Get it on your back!" Murong Li walked past them, leaving them behind at once, looking at them from behind would feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Mu Yan, you haven't carried me on your back for a long time!"
Seeing his pitiful eyes, Mu Yan knelt down.
"Mu Yan, do you know that I regret introducing you to the king! I used to think that you would have a good future with the king, but now that you are gone, I miss you so much that I have no appetite for anything. "Mo Lan rested her chin on Mu Yan's shoulder and whispered to him.
"I will go back to see you often." Mu Yan does not regard the princess's mansion as his home, but he still has a mission, and Yaoguang Palace has been kind to him in nurturing him.
At noon, the banquet executive who hadn't rested all night was leaning on the bed drowsily wearing his shoes. The servant came in cautiously and asked if he wanted lunch, but he sent him out.
Didn't go to the morning court this morning, the prime minister came to the bedroom to see the banquet in the morning, the banquet only said that he had a headache and did not go to the court, but the prime minister knew in his heart that Murong Li disappeared last night, so he went to the mountains to search for the banquet all night.
When the prime minister left, he kept shaking his head and sighing: "This seducer is a monster! How far is it going to harm my heavenly power?"
