Pluto's Golden Apple

Chapter 35 Desert Distress

Hades.

With a smile on his face, Shu Zefeng knelt outside the main hall: "My son will join the father."

Pluto laughed: "Feng'er, there is no need to be too polite today, come in quickly."

Shu Zefeng was dressed in red, and even the underworld, which has always been somewhat gloomy, is decorated with festive red lanterns today.

"Feng'er, are you ready?" Pluto's words had deep meaning. After today, Shu Zefeng would no longer be a prince of the underworld, he would become a husband, even a father.

Shu Zefeng couldn't hide the joy on his face, his whole cheeks were flushed, it was rare to have such a good complexion.Pluto looked at him like that, and was afraid that he would be overjoyed and his body would be overwhelmed.

"Feng'er, father knows the joy of your wedding. It's just that you have always been in poor health, and you must know how to restrain yourself in certain things." Pluto patted Shu Zefeng's head lovingly, which flattered Shu Zefeng.

However, Shu Zefeng immediately understood what his father meant, and the boy's face turned red from head to neck: "Father, my son knows."

Pluto waved to him who was kneeling, motioning him to come closer.

"Feng'er," Pluto said as he stretched out his hand to arrange the red dress on him, "Huanqing is a good girl, and she is a perfect match with you. Father, I only hope that you and Huanqing can last forever, and be harmonious and beautiful." ,never separate."

Shu Zefeng was so moved that tears almost came out, he and his father had been estranged all year round, how could he have thought that his father would talk to him so affectionately?It has been more than half a year since Jue Leng left, but the father is indeed more loving than before, and his temperament is no longer as cold and intimidating as it was a few years ago.

"Thank you, father, for your blessing. Feng'er and Qing'er will respect each other as guests and be kind and beautiful." Shu Zefeng smiled happily. Pluto rarely sees him laughing like this. It seems that his son must like Huanqing very much.

"Go Feng'er, father will come soon." Pluto looked at Shu Zefeng with a smile on his face.

Looking at the back of Shu Zefeng going away, Pluto suddenly felt in a trance for a moment.That young man who was proud of his spring breeze was really like himself back then, except that Feng'er at this moment was much younger than when he got married.

He suddenly felt a little sad, where is Jue Leng at this moment?She has such a good relationship with her brother, but she should feel a little regretful that she can't attend his wedding.

"Heiji, is she okay?" Pluto sensed someone else's breath around him.

"Your Majesty, your Highness is fine. Judging by his speed, he should be almost at the palace."

Pluto sighed slowly, after so long, her heart is still so firm, it hasn't changed at all.He often wondered if he really did something wrong, but when he thought of the queen of the underworld's betrayal, he still felt a lot of resentment in his heart.

"Heiji, she didn't find out that there is someone from my Hades?"

"Your Majesty, I also went to see her in person. It seems that Her Highness's divine power has been wiped out by Princess Qing, oh no, the princess. Now she is a mortal through and through. She must not know that there are people from the underworld." Heiji felt very sad. , It is said that the hearts of parents in the world are pitiful. If you are not a parent yourself, how can you understand?At the beginning, His Royal Highness Mingchu resolutely removed his divine power and went down to earth, regardless of the long distance to find Princess Huanrou. Isn't it a betrayal of Hades?Isn't it a betrayal of the underworld?The power in the world that is greater than that of a human emperor is not worth a penny in the eyes of His Royal Highness Ming Chu.

"Okay, okay, it's fine if you don't know, it's fine if you don't know." Pluto said quietly, "I should go to their wedding too." Pluto stood up, and put on a set of golden clothes that he had prepared, The clothes are also very festive.When Shu Yi was not Pluto, he also preferred to wear warm and light-colored clothes.He remembered that at that time, Chisen always laughed and said that he could charm all living beings by smiling under the sun.Yes, it charms all living beings, but it still can't make her fall in love.

After Huanqing and Shu Zefeng bowed three times, the ceremony was completed, and Pluto had a gentleness and joy that was usually hard to see on his face.Feng'er has already got married and has finally grown up.However, Pluto couldn't tell where there was a panic in his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Heiji, tell me, am I getting old?"

Heiji's nose was sore: "How can Your Majesty be old? Your Majesty is in his prime."

Pluto laughed: "Feng'er is twenty-one this year, and I happen to be fifty. How can I still be in my prime?"

Heiji quickly comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, you are a god, you are the best among gods, and your lifespan will be long."

"But you see, Haidi Limi, who is of the same generation as me, passed away a few years ago, and the emperor Huanwanyan is no longer here. It seems that I am the only one left." Pluto murmured.

"Your Majesty, these two former emperors died because of their children's disobedience. His Majesty Li Mi was seriously ill at the beginning, and before he could choose who would inherit the throne, the sea realm was messed up by various princes and princesses. His Majesty Li Mi had so many Children, in the end, only the current Emperor Haidi and His Royal Highness Li Xun are left alive. Could it be that this hastened his grief and indignation and passed away earlier? It is even more pity for His Majesty Huan Wanyan, who died directly at the hands of the current emperor. Power What kind of god are you to turn your relatives against each other? According to your Majesty, you are the happiest. Although your children are not many, fortunately, the relationship between His Highness the Prince and His Highness Ming Chu has always been harmonious, and the two Highnesses are also extremely filial , will not repeat the mistakes of the sea and heaven."

Pluto pondered for a long time, then smiled slightly: "I'm afraid the most proud thing in the first half of my life is that under my governance, the underworld is in good order, and the gods and immortals are happy. The most proud thing in the second half of my life should be Ze Feng and Jue Leng." As Pluto talked, he thought of Li Xilai again, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he stopped talking.

In Shu Zefeng's bedroom, two people were lying on the bed and whispering.

"Qing'er, you are so beautiful today." Shu Zefeng smiled.

Huanqing blushed slightly: "I feel unreal like a dream to be able to marry His Highness."

"how?"

"I thought His Majesty Pluto would punish you and sweat for you. I thought he must hate me for removing Jueleng's divine power, let alone agreeing to us being together." Huanqing thought of that day , I still have lingering fears.

"Father Wang is actually a good person, but he is too alienated from me on weekdays, which makes people feel a little scared. After all, I am his son, and Jue Leng left. If he punishes me severely, he probably won't be able to bear it." " Shu Zefeng felt that his father was the most pitiful person, and after finally finding his younger sister, she still had to be a mortal wholeheartedly.

"I don't know if Jue Leng found the third sister." Huanqing felt very sad when she thought that she hadn't seen the third sister for so long.

Shu Zefeng felt uncomfortable when he thought of his younger sister: "I don't know what Jue Leng is doing right now, are you safe? Qing'er, don't worry, Jue Leng just has a stubborn energy, I think she will find Princess Huanrou .”

Seeing that Huanqing was still frowning, Shu Zefeng turned her around so that she faced him.He stroked her beautiful facial features and laughed: "Qing'er, today is the day of great joy for you and me. Jue Leng and Princess Huanrou are auspicious people, so let's just believe in Jue Leng for now. Everyone says that the last There is no better moment of happiness than the wedding night in the bridal chamber, and when the gold list is signed. Today is the wedding night in our bridal chamber, so we shouldn’t think about those sad things.” Shu Zefeng smiled, and the smile was so gentle that Huanqing couldn’t help but turn his whole body Indented into his arms.As long as he is there, everything will be fine.After some tenderness, Huanqing fell into a deep sleep and lay quietly in Shu Zefeng's arms. Shu Zefeng looked at her dotingly and smiled softly.

But absolutely cold, where are you?If today, you can come to attend the wedding between your brother and your sister Qing, then this wedding should be the most perfect wedding.Shu Zefeng sighed in his heart.

"Your Highness, the troops we went to explore the road have returned. They said that there is a desert ahead. If we want to go through the desert, the distance to Huangxie will be greatly shortened. If we don't go through the desert, we may need to take some detours. Because there was a big epidemic here not long ago, Huang Xie was afraid that the epidemic would spread to the capital, so he blocked many main roads." A sergeant reported.

Jue Leng frowned: "If the desert is going to pass, do we have enough food and water?"

The sergeant immediately replied: "The subordinates have sent people to investigate. The desert is actually not big. It takes 2 days to get out. From Fenglin to Huangxie, many people will choose to go directly through the desert. The desert is not terrible, but... ..."

"It's just what, you said it." Li Qianyue couldn't hold back her temper, she hated whoever spoke hesitantly.

Jue Leng glared at her and signaled her not to make a fuss, so she closed her mouth unwillingly.

The sergeant looked very embarrassed: "It's just that your highness, there are a group of dry leeches in the desert, which are unique to Fenglin City. Those dry leeches are very large and specialize in sucking human blood. Several groups of villagers left the desert. It’s not that they died of thirst or starvation, but were sucked to death by the dry leech. In Fenglin City, the people in Fenglin City were all terrified when they heard about the dry leech.”

Li Qianyue snorted disdainfully: "What ghost drought leeches, then I have to ask my girl's sword whether she agrees or not."

Jue Leng glared at her again, and thought for a while: "How many groups of villagers did you say you met, that is to say, not all of them?"

"Yes, Your Highness, those dry leeches don't know the travel rules. Anyway, I have asked, and they don't encounter them every time. The probability of encountering them is very small. Why don't we take a detour, Your Highness?"

Jue Leng frowned. In fact, he had to wait for such a long time, and he didn't care about waiting a few more days, but if, as the sergeant said, there was a great plague in Fenglin, then it would not be safe to leave the city.

After thinking about it, Jue Leng said: "Let's pass the order, let's go to the desert. We will pass through the desert quickly, and we will be stationed in the city tonight, so as not to cause trouble. In the desert, send more people on duty, and everyone should be more vigilant. If you don't follow If you walk in the desert and walk from the city, I am afraid that the soldiers will be at risk of being infected by the plague. If you go to the desert, at least you won’t encounter those dry leeches. So, let’s choose the desert.”

"Yes, Your Highness." The sergeant hurried to deliver the order.

Li Qianyue clapped her hands and laughed: "Great, I just like excitement. The dry locusts are here, and I can kill them all by myself with a sword."

Jue Leng frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, the villagers here don't necessarily have people with high kung fu. Everyone knows that after the drought leech, a group of people must cross the desert together and still die a lot, which shows that the drought leech must be extremely difficult to deal with. "

Seeing Jue Leng, Li Qianyue was really annoyed, so she softened: "Oh, it's okay, I'll listen to you, who made you the third prince!" After speaking, she made a face at him, then There was such a lovely expression on Zhang's charming face that Jue Leng couldn't help but laugh again.

After receiving the order from the third prince, the whole team became nervous. After all, it is a terrible thing to encounter dry locusts in the desert, but if you think about it carefully, isn't the plague terrible?Encountering dry leeches is not guaranteed, but such a group of people barely detours from the city, there will definitely be a few weak people who will fall ill, and the plague spreads extremely quickly.Everyone still admires the determination and intelligence of the third prince.

With apprehension, a group of people walked into the desert.There are occasional strong winds in this desert, and it's not a strong wind, but it doesn't make people too uncomfortable. The third prince cares about his subordinates, and often sends out water to keep everyone healthy.

"Do you feel that our Highness seems to be a different person." A soldier said to his partner.

"Isn't that right? How could he be so sympathetic to us before. From this point of view, it's not bad to be stabbed once." A younger soldier said with a smile.

"Hey, don't shut up, if someone hears it, your head will move!"

The young soldier looked around, but fortunately his words were not listened to, otherwise he might have been killed on the spot.

"What's the matter, is there something strange in front?" Jue Leng frowned, she didn't dare to relax at all, this is hundreds of lives.

"Your Highness, the front is fine. Everything is normal now. I have sent an order to make everyone alert. Don't worry, Your Highness." A soldier comforted.

Li Qianyue pulled Jue Leng over: "Oh, sit down, you can't kill if you really come, you have to rely on me." After finishing speaking, Li Qianyue picked up a piece of cloth and gently wiped her sword .

"What's that?!" A scream shook the entire team.

Jue Leng suddenly lifted the curtain in front of him, only to see a large cloud of dust in front of him, getting closer and closer to him.

Worse, the dust obviously looks like the traces of something moving over, but this is a desert, and there can't be animals like cattle and sheep. Could it be...Jie Leng broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Qianyue threw down the cloth, jumped off the sedan chair, and shouted: "Protect Your Highness!"

Only then did the soldiers realize that this should be the dry leech that the people were talking about.I really offended God for some reason. I actually encountered this kind of thing, but when I encountered it, I could only unite and fight my way out.All the soldiers formed a group with swords, tightly guarding the absolutely cold sedan chair.

It wasn't until those dry leeches approached that everyone started to panic. Where is this a group of dry leeches?There should be many, many groups, the number is too large to count, and each of them is very strong, which makes people feel very intimidated.

Those dry leeches seemed to be able to fly low, and they quickly landed on the legs of a few peripheral soldiers. After a few of them climbed up, many more would be attracted, and the densely packed leeches covered those peripheral soldiers. When it was full, only the eyes of those poor people were exposed.

The soldiers inside clearly heard the screams of the surrounding soldiers and saw their desperate eyes clearly. A burst of panic struck. After a while, the soldiers who had been sucked by blood collapsed on the ground, their faces pale, from face to face. The mouth is all white.This frightened the soldiers inside, and some of them ran away.

While killing the dry leech, Li Qianyue yelled: "Don't run away, there is a chance to survive if there are many people, and the death will be worse if you disperse!"

But how could those courageous sergeants listen to this, they ran fast one by one, but obviously, the dry leech was more interested in that kind of fast-moving objects, and those soldiers hadn't escaped everyone's sight It has turned into several corpses.

"Dare to bully me? Come on!" Li Qianyue's eyes turned red, she had never seen this dry leech.

Jue Leng watched everything around nervously. She was also very afraid, but more worried. She saw the soldiers around her fall down one by one. This swarm of locusts is too powerful, mainly due to the large number .

Too bad, it looks like he's going to die here today, Jue Leng feels a little desperate.

"Hey! You stay here for me, I don't have time to save you, don't provoke them, hold your breath! They prefer people who move, and the blood flow faster in this kind of people!" Li Qianyue While killing dry locusts, he yelled at Jue Leng, not forgetting to warn Jue Leng to be careful.

Jue Leng's heart warmed up. When she saw the soldiers desperately killing the leeches, she felt very sad. She really hoped that she still had supernatural powers and could help them instead of just staying in the sedan chair and watching with.She suddenly felt that she was so useless as a god, and a sense of loss came to her heart.

The people around her fell down one by one, and she only felt that all she could smell was a strong smell of blood.There are people around, and there may be leeches that were killed. Anyway, the sky and the yellow sand in front of me seem to be connected together, making people confused.

A smear of blood spilled on his face.It turned out that Li Qianyue pierced a leech that was about to fly to her with a sword.At this time, Li Qianyue's face no longer had an excited look on her face, but she was nervous. This dry leech was coming fiercely. No matter how powerful she was, she would eventually be tired. She didn't know how many dry leeches she had killed. It's like I've never been so tired before.

Li Qianyue only felt that her eyes were dark, and she fell heavily on the yellow sand in front of Jue Leng's eyes.Jue Leng wanted to reach out to hug her, but she was too caught off guard when she fell down, and Jue Leng didn't catch her at all.

As soon as Li Qianyue fell down, the dry leeches around her started to move. She put in so much effort, and the blood flowed fast, so it must be extremely sweet.One was already on her.

Absolutely Leng only felt that the air was condensed.If I go out by myself, I may never see Huanrou again, but if I don't go out by myself, I will just watch Li Qianyue die!Even though I used to always dislike Li Qianyue very much, but... one, two leeches were stuck on her body, Jue Leng felt a kind of pain, which surged from the abdomen above the chest below the chest.

The desert was illuminated by a crimson light.

At this moment, Jue Leng's eyes were slightly red, and she was extremely angry.

She picked up the sword that Li Qianyue had dropped, and slashed at the dry locusts fiercely.The dry leech seemed to be shocked by the breath, and they all started to back away.

The few soldiers who were still alive were astonished, thinking that they had lost too much blood and had hallucinations. At this moment in the desert, a crimson light shrouded the vast yellow sand, which looked a bit scary.

The remaining dry leeches seemed to have sensed something extremely terrifying, and quickly withdrew.

The few soldiers who were still alive were secretly glad that the leech had finally retreated and they were saved.

Jue Leng hugged Li Qianyue and got into the sedan chair with a gloomy face.

"This breath... Heiji...?" Pluto suddenly opened his eyes and called Heiji.

"Your Majesty," Hei Ji came in and reported, "Your Majesty, this is His Highness's seal."

"How could she..."

"The group of them encountered a dry locust in the desert of Fenglin, and almost wiped out the whole army. She seems to be trying to save people."

"Is she okay?" Pluto's eyebrows were about to frown together.

"Your Highness is fine, but I'm afraid that she will use force to force the seal to loosen a little, and it should hurt for a few days."

"Why don't you help her?" Pluto's voice was a little chilly.

Hei Ji hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I will not show up unless I have to follow your will. The situation was urgent, and just as our people wanted to show up, Your Highness already broke the seal."

Pluto sighed, and his tone softened: "Forget it, I don't blame you. You can just go on as before, as long as she is fine, go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
