King's Landing GL

Chapter 4 Misty rain in March in the south of the Yangtze River

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight hits the earth, illuminating the whole world.

"Sir, I'm ready to go." I was awakened by Ma Zhi from my sleep, I opened my eyes faintly, and looked at Ma Zhi with no expression on my face.I said to myself, don't you know that I was so excited last night that I went to bed very late?

"Where's Murong Bai?" I yawned and asked.

"Your Majesty is in the woods ahead." Ma Zhi was taken aback by me, and after handing me the breakfast, he found an excuse and walked away.

I finished the meal quietly, wiped my mouth with my sleeve, then said hello and walked towards the forest where Murong Bai was.

"Murong Bai."

I walked behind Murong Bai, stood still, and saw her plain back reflected in the dappled sunlight, for some reason, I was in a daze.

She turned her head when she heard the sound, and at that moment, my heart beat violently again.

"It's time to go." I felt the tip of my tongue trembling.

She looked at me blankly and didn't speak.

I was very embarrassed by her stare, bit my lip, and was about to ask her how long to watch when she suddenly said:

"Let's go."

After saying that, he looked away and walked forward.

I stood there in a daze, I don't know why, but I always feel that Murong Bai is a little different today.

But what is different, I can't tell.

"Your Majesty." Li Yi saluted when he saw Murong Bai coming.

Murong Bai nodded, didn't say anything, got on the horse, and when everyone saw this, they also got on the horse, and I was the only one left standing there.

Whose horse to ride, that is the question...

"Zong." Seeing that I was still standing there, Murong Bai called me, "Get on the horse."

After that, he held out his hand to me.

I looked up at the woman who stretched out her hand to me against the morning light, and my heart beat like a drum.

At that moment, a seed took root in my heart and sprouted.

Looking at the hand she stretched out towards me, I even felt that if it was hell she invited me to, I would go there without hesitation.

It was at that moment that I seemed to understand a little bit about my previous series of abnormal behaviors.

I stretched out my hand to grab Murong Bai's hand, and got on her horse with my strength.The moment she wrapped her arms around my waist, I came to a conclusion:

I am haunted by ghosts, and I may fall into the hands of her Murong Bai in this life.

Along the way, Murong Bai and I were both preoccupied and didn't talk much.

It was already noon when the horse ran to the post station, and everyone dismounted and ate something casually and hurried on the road.

I don't understand why Murong Bai is in such a rush all of a sudden, could it be that she found out that I was plotting against her, and wanted to go to Qin country earlier and kill me?

It shouldn't be, am I not confessing?

"Are you unhappy?" I still asked after the words went around in my mouth.

Murong Bai tightened his grip on the rein, and his voice was the same as usual:

"No."

"..." I pouted, but didn't speak.

"Thought." After a while, she called me.

"Ok?"

"Did you have a good time in Guigu Mountain?"

"Of course." I raised the corners of my mouth, and my voice was filled with a smile, "Ghost Valley Mountain is a beautiful place..."

"Really?" she said softly.

"If there is a chance, I will take you to see it." I turned my head and said to her with a smile.

She froze for a moment, and the face that was very close to me was as beautiful as before, which made me so intoxicated.

"Okay." After a while, she agreed with a smile.

"..." I looked at her smile, blushed for no reason, and didn't want to be discovered by her, so I hurriedly turned around.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die, how come it's endless this time when it's rippling?

Our group drove non-stop for four days, and when we finally arrived in Jiangnan, both humans and horses were exhausted to death.Especially those with small arms and legs, they tortured me so much that I didn't even know if I was going to die in Qin.So when Murong Bai announced that he could rest for two days in Jiangnan, at that moment, I almost cried while hugging her thigh...

You must know that when I set off, I took Murong Bai's hand to get on the horse, and when I got off the horse, I was carried off by Li Yi... I was too embarrassed to see people.

After sleeping on the bed in the inn for most of the day, I finally regained my soul.Opening my eyes and looking at the empty guest room, I was so thirsty, I cursed in my heart that Murong Bai, that black-hearted girl, didn't know how to arrange someone to take care of me!No matter what, I am the gentleman you Qin invited back!Can you respect the intellectuals!

I've been tortured and dehydrated, okay?

Cursing and scolding, the body is still more important, so I turned over and struggled to get out of bed, and finally got the water bottle...the result was

No water!

Immediately, I had the urge to greet the whole family of the innkeeper a hundred times!

I actually did as well.

When I was lying on the ground and was greeting the boss's parents, the door was pushed open.

I didn't lift my tired eyelids:

"Who?"

No one cares about me.

Yes, I see.

Being so arrogant must be Murong Bai.

"What's wrong with you?" Murong Bai walked in front of me, looked down at me lying on the ground like a dead dog, and asked with a frown.

"Dead..." I replied angrily to her.

The breath on her body suddenly turned cold, and then she dragged me up from the ground:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

My arm was so painful from being pulled by her, and the anger that had been suppressed for a few days suddenly came up, and I growled:

"Murong Bai! Why are you being so mean to me?! Do I need you to control what I say?!"

"You!" She stared at me, and stopped after saying a word, but her eyes showed a dangerous meaning.

I pretended not to see it, and said in a very unhappy tone:

"I'm not from your country of Qin, you can't control me. Besides, don't forget that you still ask me!"

Hearing this, she closed her eyes, opened them again, and regained her composure.Murong Bai let go of my hand, took two steps back, and bowed to me:

"Bai, what an offense, Mr. Wang Haihan."

I rubbed my arm, and seeing her anger subside:

"It's nothing, you just hurt me..."

Her eyes flashed, but she didn't speak.

I licked my dry lips and said again:

"I'm thirsty."

Murong Bai tilted his head, somewhat unable to understand what I said:

"so?"

I almost spit out a mouthful of sweet blood!

You ask me so?So you go pour water!

"I want to drink water." I sat on the chair and said weakly.

Murong Bai nodded:

"Go."

"..."

Can she really understand human speech?Or is she messing with me? !

"Can you call me the waiter?" I leaned on the chair, trying not to lose my composure.

Murong Bai glanced at me and said with disdain:

"Why do you have to call alone?"

"..."

Murong Bai!You are ruthless!

Master!Your good boy is going to die...

Just when I closed my eyes and was ready to die of thirst, a gust of sweetness suddenly flowed from my mouth, I opened my eyes, and saw Murong Bai took a wine bag and poured it into my mouth.

"Why don't you just find me?" Murong Bai raised his eyebrows while supporting me.

My forehead went black, and I didn't want to say anything.

After drinking a whole bag of wine, I finally got rid of the half-dead look, got up from the ground, and hiccupped halfway.

Murong Bai was taken aback when he saw me like that, but he didn't say anything.

I looked out the window, it was already afternoon.

Today is a cloudy day, I paused and asked Murong Bai:

"Is there a Lantern Festival in this place in two days?"

"Just these two days." Murong Bai said to me.

"Is that so..." I raised the corners of my mouth, turned around and said to Murong Bai, "The Lantern Festival is very beautiful, let's go together tonight?"

"Okay." Surprisingly, she agreed.

I smiled at her.She just looked at me without speaking, and I didn't try to break her silence.

For some reason, such a Murong Bai makes me feel very peaceful.

I like Jiangnan very much, of course, not because there are so many brothels here.

I like Jiangnan because of its picturesque scenery.

In late spring and March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, the peanut trees are mixed, and the warblers are flying around.

Naturally in March in the south of the Yangtze River, the rain of apricot blossoms makes the clothes feel wet, moistens things silently, and is charming;In March, Jiangnan, love is as soft as water, love is as sweet as honey, and people are as beautiful as poetry.

Master has brought me to the south of the Yangtze River several times, and occasionally when I am lucky, I can still meet the obsessive misty rain in March.

The scenery is very beautiful, but it is unavoidably boring for me to watch it alone.

But today, at night, the streets were brightly lit like daylight, when I was walking in the crowd holding Murong Bai's hand, I suddenly understood the reason why I asked Murong Bai to come here together.

I looked back at Murong Bai, who was being pulled by me, wearing a black robe and long gown, with black hair rolled up, his face was cool and not showing any displeasure.

A move in my heart:

"Murong Bai." I called out to the woman in front of me.

She raised her eyes and looked at me, shining brightly, beautifully.

"Have you been to Jiangnan?"

"Never."

Also, Jiangnan belongs to the border area of ​​Chu State, so it is normal that Murong Bai, the king of Qin State, has never been here.

I smiled and put on the mask I just bought at the street stall in my hand, and said softly:

"Lantern Festival, you have to wear a mask."

She let me put on the mask for her, she remained motionless, very well-behaved.

I looked at Murong Bai wearing a mask, his peerless appearance was hidden under the mask, his fair skin was paired with a silver mask, no matter how you looked at him, he looked like a fairy...

"Where's yours?" Seeing that I was smiling in confusion, she asked me aloud.

"Me?" I froze for a moment, then found out the golden mask I bought together just now and put it on, "Okay."

I looked at her wearing a mask and myself reflected in her eyes, and held her hand tightly:

"Now, you have to hold me tight, don't lose it."

Hearing this, Murong Bai turned his head slightly, didn't say anything, moved his hand, but he didn't let go of me, and of course he didn't hold me tight.

"Let's go, I'll take you to put Kongming lanterns." I smiled and pulled her to the place where Kongming lanterns were sold, and added, "You can make a wish."

"..."

"Boss, how much is a Kongming lantern?" I squatted on the ground and chose two Kongming lanterns, and asked the boss.

"Three pennies a piece." The boss is a very kind person.

"I want two." I gave the boss ten cents and didn't ask him for change, then picked up two and took Murong Bai with me and left.

"You gave him Si Wen too much." Murong Bai said suddenly walking behind me.

"I know."

"..."

I turned around and handed one of the Kongming lanterns to her hand, pointing out:

"Sometimes, don't be so serious about being a human being. Doing a little favor to others is to leave a way for yourself."

Murong Bai took the Kongming lantern but didn't glance at it. She wanted to continue this topic:

"But if there is a way out, people will become cowardly."

I sighed, a little speechless:

"So you can only be a monarch, not an emperor."

"Why?" She raised an eyebrow.

I squatted down and fiddled with the Kongming lantern and said:

"Everyone needs a way out, because you can't do things to your fullest. Unscrupulous means can achieve your goals, but killing too much will ruin your way out. Therefore, it is understandable for a king to kill countless people for his country. Because he wants his country to survive. But what an emperor does is not to use killing to stabilize his empire..."

"That's it?" Murong Bai asked me.

"Reassuring people!" I raised my head and looked into her eyes, "If people's hearts are the same, the country will survive. If people's hearts are different, the country will be destroyed. If people's hearts are reassured, they can be conquered by virtue. Force can only be used for war, but governing the country, Use virtue."

Murong Bai was silent for a while, then took my words and said:

"Sir, is what the Mohists say?"

I shrugged, indifferently said:

"Just be useful."

Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows, and finally her tone was not as cold as usual:

"Think, you're smart."

I smiled, lit the Kongming Lantern, and let it fly:

"I know."

"What wish?"

I raised my eyebrows and said:

"It doesn't work to say it."

She smiled lightly, and followed my example to disassemble the Kongming lantern, and asked me while installing the Kongming lantern:

"Do you play these often?"

"That's right." I looked at her strange look and paused, "Haven't you ever played?"

She lowered her eyebrows:

"Never...my childhood, never had these..."

I fell silent and didn't speak.I only heard Murong Bai continue:

"I inherited the throne at the age of 16. Since I was a child, I have lived in the study and court..."

It will be very hard if you inherit the throne at the age of 16, right?

"Happily..."

"It's nothing," Murong Bai interrupted me, lit a Kongming lantern, and said, "I know what you're going to say, but everyone has everyone's responsibility. Be in your place, find your job. I have been To shoulder the rise and fall of the Qin State, I never feel that there is no hard work."

But it will be lonely...

I thought to myself.

Not long after Murong Bai's Kongming Lantern went up into the sky, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky, and it just so happened that bright fireworks were set off in the distance in the dim night.

Time suddenly stopped at this moment.

I looked at Murong Bai in the radiant light. Misty rain in March fell on her body. She was dressed in a black robe and stood in front of me with the bright moon in front of me. She looked up at the fireworks in the sky. Her peerless appearance was hidden by a mask. Most of the time, I couldn't see her expression clearly, I only heard her murmuring:

"What a nice view......"

I took my breath away, walked gently to her side, and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

My favorite misty rain in March falls on my face, and my favorite person is beside me.

How perfect.

I turned my head and looked at the eyebrows and eyes under her mask, and I heard the voice from my heart:

"Why don't I send you..."

She turned her head to look at me suspiciously.I leaned forward and kissed her forehead, the cold touch made me more sure:

"I send you a picturesque country..."

"Okay..." After a long silence, she reached out and hugged me, giving me hope.

I also hugged her back, let go of everything in my heart, and hugged her.

That was the first time I hugged her. Under the night light of the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, it was so beautiful.

I gave her my heart completely, so I wouldn't know the smile on my shoulder from Murong Bai who was hugged by me.

It was a smile that achieved its purpose, a smile unique to a king...

Since then, a conspiracy that has been woven for 17 years has finally kicked off.

My life has been miserable ever since.

It was already late at night when we returned to the inn.

I stood at the door of my room, scratching the back of my head, and looked at Murong Bai who stood in front of me very calmly with some embarrassment:

"That... you rest early..."

Murong Bai nodded, her face was still cold after taking off the mask:

"You too."

After finishing speaking, I walked to the other end of the corridor, I fixedly watched her back until she disappeared from my sight, then closed the door, listened to Murong Bai's words, washed up and fell asleep.

But at this time Murong Bai's room was in a different situation.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Murong Bai enter the room, Li Yi hurriedly got up and saluted.

Murong Bai nodded, found a chair and sat down, closed his eyes and remained silent for a while before telling Li Yi:

"Tell the prime minister, it's time to start."

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.

Finally, can we start?

"Your Majesty!" Even the calm Li Yi couldn't hide his inner excitement.

Murong Bai opened his eyes, but his gaze was looking out of the window, and he said in a calm tone:

"Even if there is no wariness towards Gu Wu, the rest needs to be done by the Prime Minister."

"No." Li Yi replied, then exited the room and closed the door.

Murong Bai kept his original posture after Li Yi left, not moving at all, but his originally clear eyes were now full of confusion.

"Awen, if you were still here...how wonderful it would be. In that case, wouldn't I have to be so tired?"

——"I send you picturesque mountains and rivers..."

Murong Bai suddenly remembered what that person said just now, for some reason, she frowned, and whispered:

"Thoughts..."

Do you want to send me picturesque country...

Awen also said that when I stabbed a sword into his heart when I was 15 years old, he hugged me and whispered in my ear.

He said, Murong Bai, I will give you whatever you want, whether it is the country or my life.

A good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, after I got up, I went downstairs and chatted with the waiter at the shop while eating breakfast. Just as I was chatting with the waiter about the flower-like beauty of the new oiran in Yichun Garden, Murong Bai came downstairs at this time up.

I immediately shut my mouth, and then sat upright, putting on a serious face.

I don't want her to think I'm a frivolous person.

Murong Bai walked to my desk and sat opposite me.I just noticed that she is completely white today, inside and out, which is nothing.But the problem is that I am also wearing white today.

What a tacit understanding of a pair!

"Just woke up?" I poured a glass of water for her, remembering how I hugged her and kissed her forehead last night, I suddenly felt shy...

Oh, how many years have I not been shy, why am I so shy when I see her?

Murong Bai nodded, took the water I handed her, took a sip, glanced at me, and said calmly:

"Why are you blushing?"

"..." When I was asked by her, I didn't know what to say. After holding back for a long time, I finally said, "Maybe it's because it's too hot..."

Murong Bai put down his teacup, looked at me, and said with great interest:

"Is the weather very hot in Jiangnan in March?"

My eyes wander:

"Probably...who knows..."

"Really?" she said lightly.

I secretly pinched myself hard to let you wave again!

When I raised my head again, my complexion was back to normal:

"Any plans for today?"

The corner of Murong Bai's mouth raised that kind of smile that made my heart beat and flustered:

"Whether An arranges it or not, don't you all go to the brothel?"

I fell and almost dropped the teacup in my hand.

Murong Bai saw my reaction and said with a smile:

"What? Am I right?"

When I heard this, I vaguely heard the sound of someone snickering next to me, as well as my own stiff and weathered voice.

I stared blankly at Murong Bai, the morning light spread inch by inch from the window, and fell on her, making her blend with the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan in the early spring of March behind her, as beautiful as a painting.However, an impulse suddenly surged in my heart, I want to take her to the brothel! --if you can.

"Let's go to the brothel to have a look later." Murong Bai said calmly as if he knew what I was thinking.

Hearing this, I held my breath suddenly, raised my head nervously, and stared at Murong Bai in front of me.

What does it mean?

"Ahem..." I pretended to cough, "I'm a decent person..."

Murong Bai looked me up and down, raised his eyebrows but didn't speak.

"..."

When I brought Murong Bai to the hall of Yichunyuan, everyone stopped their business and looked at us.

I rubbed my forehead, and scolded Murong Bai in my heart for being so glamorous when visiting brothels!Can't you imitate me and change into men's clothes when you are a girl who goes shopping in brothels? !

"The two of you are here..." Maybe our combination attracted attention. When the madam with heavy makeup saw us, the powder on her face fell all over the floor in shock.

I pulled the bustard over and said softly:

"Good sister, what can you do here?" While talking, she gave the old bustard a silver coin. The old bust looked at me, then at Murong Bai, who was behind me with a handsome but expressionless face, and said hesitantly:

"Master, you come, I naturally welcome you, but this girl is here..."

I hurriedly explained:

"Hey! My sister likes girls. I heard that all the girls here are as beautiful as flowers. She asked me to bring her here. You know, some people... have special hobbies... .”

After hearing my words, Murong Bai shifted his eyes to my face and narrowed his eyes.I pretended I didn't see it, and gave the madam a look that you understand, and the madam understood immediately.

In this place of fireworks, who hasn't seen it? !

The old bustard smiled prettily and called out to the girls:

"Girls, it's time to pick up the guests! The best rooms are waiting!"

I smiled and stuffed a few more banknotes to the bustard, and Le's bustard almost didn't come to pick up the guests in person.

Seeing that I am generous, those girls are also passionate about me.I held one in each arm, and Murong Bai behind was also surrounded by three or four girls, and they all went up the stairs and entered the guest room.

The remaining procuress who counted the money until his hands cramped and a group of men who beat their chests couldn't help sighing:

What a girl!How did it become a grinding mirror...
