Thousand-character silk

"What happened, how did you get into this?"

Liuqian seemed to be very difficult to speak, Wu Ya fetched water for Liuqian to drink, Liuqian's complexion improved a little, but it was still very difficult to speak.Rong Xuan then told him not to be impatient, according to the current speed of the carriage, he could reach the southern suburbs at noon, and Guijue is still in the villa, so he will not be in a hurry after he has seen it.

Liu Qian had been holding Rong Xuan's hand tightly all the way, as if he felt uneasy even if he let go for a while.

When I returned to the villa just after noon, Guijue took a look at Liuqian, and said that Liuqian hadn't eaten or drank for several days, and his body was weak, and he would be fine after resting, and there was nothing serious about it. The son took the snow suit to the pharmacy to get medicine.

Liuqian, who has been washed and washed, has lost the downcast look just now, and it is not much different from when he was in Rong Palace, but his expression is different from before, it seems to be very bitter, and it is not easy to live in Jingdu these few days. not good.Gui Jue prescribed a dose of tranquilizing medicine, and Liuqian fell asleep soon after taking it.

"He is very weak now, if there is anything to do, let's wait until he wakes up tomorrow and then discuss it."

Rong Xuan nodded after hearing Gui Jue's words, and led Wu Ya out of Liu Qian's room.

"How could Liuqian appear in Jingguo?"

Wu Ya asked when the two were walking on the veranda.

"Ten percent came to look for me." Rong Xuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then frowned, "But why did you come to me specifically? Could it be that... something happened to Rong Gong?!"

As soon as this idea popped up, Rong Xuan's whole body tensed up instantly.

Wu Ya comforted: "If something happened to Rong Gong, Princess Min would have sent a letter to us by flying pigeons. It would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive for Liu Qian to come to you."

Rong Xuan thought about it, and felt that what Wu Ya said was reasonable.But apart from Rong Gong's accident, he couldn't think of a reason why Liuqian would appear in Jingdu.After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason. He shook his head, thinking that he would have to wait until Liuqian woke up tomorrow to find out.

When he woke up the next day, Liuqian's consciousness was still not very clear, and after drinking the decoction of Guijue, he rested for a long time before he could speak properly.

"Your Highness..."

As soon as Liuqian opened his mouth, tears welled up, he stumbled, and his words became even more incomplete.

"It's okay, there's no rush, just speak slowly." Rong Xuan comforted, but his heart was also very nervous.

Having been with Liuqian day and night for so many years, except for the time when Jian Yan died, Rong Xuan had never seen such an expression on Liuqian's face, and a sense of uneasiness spread throughout his body.

Liuqian's hand holding Rong Xuan couldn't stop trembling, he swallowed, cried and shook his head, and said in a trembling voice what Rong Xuan didn't want to hear the most.

"Your Highness... King Rong... His Majesty King Rong... is dead!"

It is written in Romance novels that when a person encounters a major mutation, his mind will go blank.Rong Xuan always thought it was something performed by the actors on the stage.But when Liu Qian uttered those words, there was a buzzing sound in his head, and a piercing sound went straight into his head, and he couldn't hear any other sounds.His body softened limply as if his spine had been taken out suddenly, and the scenery in front of him began to blur.

Wu Ya supported his shoulder, but he couldn't feel Wu Ya's hand.Wu Ya said something anxiously, Rong Xuan guessed that he was calling his name, but only saw his mouth opening and closing, didn't hear anything, and finally took a look at Wu Ya with a worried face , His face turned white and his eyes turned black, falling into the infinite darkness.

"Xuan'er, come on, give me a hug from my father..."

"Xuan'er, look, 'Rong'...'Xuan'...your name should be written like this."

"The last stroke of the character 'Xuan', you have to walk gracefully and stand straight..."

"Xuan'er, a boy shouldn't be afraid of thunder... Come out, father and queen will accompany you together."

"Xuan'er, look, this is a great river and mountain in our country. When my father gets old, I will entrust all of this to you. You should cherish it..."

"Xuan'er? Xuan'er?!"

In a trance, I heard someone calling my name clearly, and I was holding myself with a pair of extremely warm hands.

"Father..."

"Xuan'er?"

For a moment, he thought that he had returned to the Rong Palace, as if he was sick when he was young, with his father and queen mother by his side.

The guilt and discomfort surging in his heart made Rong Xuan feel that a thorn was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow, and the hand holding Wu Ya was getting tighter and tighter, there were no tears, his whole body was just trembling.

"Wuya... what should I do... what should I do..."

"Xuan'er..." Seeing him like this, Wu Ya wanted to comfort him, but was at a loss for words.

Rong Xuan waved his hand, asking Wu Ya not to make things difficult, and closed his eyes again.After a long time, when he opened his eyes again, the confusion just now was gone.

Wu Ya looked at it and felt heartbroken.

He knew that Rong Xuan's guilty conscience was still unstable, but the reality could not allow him to be willful.

"Call Liuqian."

"it is good."

Liu Qian blamed himself for not taking into account Rong Xuan's thoughts just now and bluntly said about the death of King Rong, and now he walked in front of Rong Xuan submissively, for fear of shocking Rong Xuan again.

"Rong Gong, what happened?" Rong Xuan asked.

Liu Qian hesitated, as if he was considering his words.

Rong Xuan said: "Don't hide it, I want to know the truth."

Liu Qian frowned slightly, and after serving the tea at hand to Rong Xuan, he began to speak. Rong Xuan listened, trying his best to remain calm, but the hand holding the porcelain cup was clenched tighter and tighter.

Two months after Rong Xuan and Wu Ya left, Wei Junliang sent a letter of credence, mentioning Rong Xuan and Xuan Yue's marriage.Because Rong Xuan was not in the palace, and heard Rong Min talk about the marriage contract that the two made by mistake, he responded casually and was afraid that Wei Liang would say that Rong Guo was negligent, so he had no choice but to tell the emissary to ask Wei Liang waited until Rong Xuan came back, and the two countries would discuss this matter carefully.Rong Xuan and Xuan Yue Yuqin are cousins, and Xuan Yue will never be wronged in marriage.

I don't know how Wei Liang understood the meaning of the envoy's words. He decided that Rong Guo was fooling Wei Guo and wanted to delay or repent of the marriage. Detained Rongguo general Bei Helian who was still in northern Xinjiang, and then attacked Rongguo in the west.

King Rong sent the two elder brothers of Yan Du, the two major generals of the Yan family, to meet the enemy. General Liu Linlou and Old General Yan Qing guarded the capital. In the northern border of the country, Bei Helian was rescued in a roundabout way.

Originally, Rong Min and General Bei would lead the troops to go south and attack the guards from front to back, but they didn't want Jing Guo's son Li Si Huang Que to lead a thousand cavalry to attack the city suddenly.The guards stationed in the northern border had just lost a lot of troops because of Rong Min's sudden appearance, and before they had time to regroup, they were caught off guard by the guards.The Northern Guards were annihilated in less than half a day.

The leader of the army was Ning Jie, the major general of the Wei State. When the army was defeated, he stood alone on the tower, looked at the north in despair for a long time, and then committed suicide.

Jing Jun was surprisingly familiar with the terrain of Weiguo. In addition, Wei Liang dispatched a large number of soldiers and horses to the western front in order to show off quickly. Jing Jun went south almost unimpeded.Even the traps set by the guards based on the terrain were avoided by Jing Jun one by one. The guards suffered heavy losses, and the western front was raging with war. After entering Weidu, he went straight to Weigong with almost no effort.

Bei Helian advised Rong Min to save his life, but Rong Min insisted on going back to Wei Palace.

The Wei Palace was in chaos, and Jing Jun took control of the gates of the Wei Palace.Li Si ordered a bloodbath, and immediately the mourners in the palace were flooded with blood.Rong Min sneaked into the Jing army, searched around the palace at night, and found the palace where Xuanyue used to live based on his memory. After killing the guards at the gate of the palace, he rescued Xuanyue who was being imprisoned by them. Xuanyue said Jing Jun came suddenly. He heard that when the emperor was assassinated, he was still washing and grooming. Before he could do anything, he was besieged in the palace.Hearing that her sister was killed, Rong Min regretted for a while, but she didn't have time to think about it, and immediately fled with Xuan Yue in a simple disguise.

Because Xuanyue was really scared and her body was weak for several days, when the two were leaving the palace gate, the guards found that Bei Helian sacrificed his life to save them. The princess left the capital, and didn't feel at ease until he met Yan Jiajun.

The Yan family army wanted to kill Xuanyue, but Rong Min stopped them and said that Xuanyue was the concubine of the world, so the soldiers stopped.General Yan Er asked the army doctor to treat Bei Helian immediately. The doctor looked at Bei Helian and said in surprise, General Bei was seriously injured in several places, and it is very human to be able to persist in the barracks.Immediately after that, the wound was healed to stop the bleeding, and his life was finally saved.

After Bei Helian's injury stabilized, General Yan Er arranged for carriages and horses to send Rongmin and Xuanyue back to the palace.

When Rong Min returned to the palace, King Rong was already dying.When the imperial physician was taking the medicine according to the prescription given by Guijue, he suddenly found that the most important medicine was missing, and he searched all over the palace but could not find it.The strange thing is that King Rong and Queen didn't convict him because of this, they just asked someone to cover up his illness and asked Rong Min to immediately contact Rong Xuan who was in Jingguo, asking him to return to the country immediately.

"Wait," Rong Xuan interrupted, "How long ago did my father ask my sister to find me?"

Liuqian thought for a while and said, "About two months."

Rong Xuan did a careful calculation, and it was almost two months ago that the news from Rong Palace was cut off. He probably knew a little bit in his heart that someone withheld information about Rong Guo and deliberately kept himself from knowing it.

Rong Min waited in the palace for nearly a month, but did not hear from Rong Xuan. Seeing his father's body weakening day by day, he was so anxious that he had no choice but to let Liu Qian go to Jingguo, asking him to find Rong Xuan. , bring Rong Xuan back.Unexpectedly, shortly after entering Jingguo, the money on his body would be stolen.Liuqian was not familiar with the place of life in Jingguo, so he asked all over the place for news about Jing Wuya.

After a few days, I didn't hear any news, but I first turned into a beggar in clothes.At first, some people kindly told him that Mr. Wuya came and went without a trace, and no one knew where he was. Later, when he met Liuqian and asked people about things, people hated him as a beggar. Ask people, they all say he is a lunatic, and no one is willing to help him.That day on Jingdu Street, I was really hungry. I wanted to steal a bun to satisfy my hunger while the bun shop owner was not paying attention, but I was caught right away.If Rong Xuan's carriage hadn't happened to pass by, he might have been beaten to death on the street.

After hearing this, Rong Xuan pondered for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Father, when is it..."

Liu Qiang was taken aback.When talking about things just now, he avoided His Majesty Rong Wang because he was afraid of touching Rong Xuan's sad things, but Rong Xuan asked himself.

Liu Qian said: "Not long after I left the palace, I received a secret letter from Princess Min, saying that His Majesty passed away."

"Then now in the palace..."

"It's all supported by the Queen." Liu Qian's face darkened, "Your Majesty ordered that the mourning be kept secret, and the court will be stabilized for the time being, and I am afraid that there will be secrets in the court that will spread the news about Rong Guo. There are several The minister had already guessed that His Majesty had passed away, and the court officials were not very respectful to the Queen, and even said...that Your Highness is so stubborn that you are not an emperor, and asked to have another son..."

Rong Xuan's heart sank, imagining how his mother would preside over the government alone, his heart felt bitter.Rong Guo can still maintain the stability of the court until now, because the court is still intimidated by King Rong's majesty, and some people believe that King Rong is just sick, and they are fighting against other rude people with their meager strength. , I am afraid it is because of fear of the influence of the Yan family army in the court.The Yan family does not rebel, and it is not easy to shake Chao Gang with the strength of other people in the court.

However, the court cannot be without a master for a day, and it cannot be supported for a long time by relying on the support of the queen mother and the Yan family army.Now that the Kingdom of Wei is destroyed, the next target of the Kingdom of Jing must be the Kingdom of Rong. Without the barrier of the Kingdom of Wei, coupled with the instability in the court, once someone finds out the fact that the father has passed away and spreads it, it will be caught by the monarch of another country. Knowing that Rong Guo is in danger.

Rong Xuan thought for a long time, then stood up abruptly.

Wu Ya looked at him, and frowned slightly.

Rong Xuan smiled slightly and let out a long breath.

"Return to the palace."

☆, 63 return journey

Liuqian has always been careful, even though Rong Xuan made a quick decision to go back to the palace, things were still packed properly for him. Whatever Rong Xuan wanted on the way back to the palace, Liuqian had almost prepared for him.

"After all, he has been with Xuan'er for many years." Wu Ya sighed.

Liuqian smiled and said, "If you usually pay attention, you will know it naturally."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Ya, wondering if there was any other meaning in his words, and he was relieved when he saw that Wu Ya's eyes were only admiration.

Gui Jue was a colleague, seeing the change of expression on Liu Qian's face, he smiled to himself.

Xueyi didn't come with him on this trip, and there was a lot of trouble before he left, Wu Ya asked him to stay in the villa, not to follow him out to cause trouble, Xue Yi's face turned red and then turned pale, and he dragged Wu Ya to lose his temper a lot .Wu Ya was worried about Rong Xuan, he didn't argue with Xue Yi, after all he sighed, walked to Xue Yi's side, stretched out his hand to hold his hand and whispered a few words, it seemed to be an unexpected move, Xue Yi's anger subsided immediately Quite a few, although the face is unwilling, but don't say anything more.

Normally, Rong Xuan might have to argue with Wu Ya, or even ignore Wu Ya in a fit of anger, but now his mind is in a mess, and he doesn't even realize it at all, even passing Xue Yi's smug chuckle The sound didn't seem to reach his ears, but he just said "Let's go" to Wu Ya lightly.

Along the way, Rong Xuan didn't speak much, just sat quietly with his eyes closed and dozed off, only Liuqian and Guijue were talking, and occasionally Wu Ya would interject a few words.Rong Xuan didn't speak, and the car seemed a little awkward. The four of them were crowded in the car, and this kind of embarrassment made people feel a little suffocated.After Liuqian got out of the carriage and sat with the driver, there were only three people left in the carriage, and the silent atmosphere remained unchanged.

Wu Ya gently covered Rong Xuan's hand, Rong Xuan, who had been closing his eyes, opened his eyebrows slightly, saw Wu Ya looking at him, smiled and shook his head.

"I am fine."

"Are you worried about Yandu?"

Rong Xuan raised his head and looked into Wu Ya's eyes, the man's eyes only showed concern now.

"No." Xiao Shizi's eyes darkened slightly.

Not long after the four of them left the villa, the speeding carriage stopped on the road.Wu Ya got out of the car to check the situation, he didn't come back for a long time, and there was no sound from outside the car, Rong Xuan was worried, so he planned to get out of the car with Liu Qian to see what happened.Rong Xuan followed Liuqian and was about to lift the curtain to get out of the car when he heard Liuqian calling:

"General Yan?"

The hand that had just touched the car curtain froze in place, then retracted unnaturally, and after meeting Shang Guijue's questioning gaze, turned his face to the other side even more unnaturally.

Seeing that there was no movement in the car, Liu Qian turned back and asked:

"Your Highness, it's General Yan. Won't Your Highness come down to see you?" There was half a smile and half a doubt in the words.

Rong Xuan replied coldly in the car: "I am the king, he is the minister, if there is any argument, I should get out of the car and meet him."

"...Rong Xuan." Che Qianyan called softly.

"You still dare to come to see him."

Liu Qian turned around and saw General Jing standing in front of General Yan, Wu Ya pulled out the jade flute from the back of his waist, blocking Yan Du's forward steps.

Liu Qian was stunned for a moment, the person who came was obviously General Yan, why did he stop him?Looking at the disappointment in Yan Du's eyes, Liu Qian felt very reluctant, but since Rong Xuan said that, as a waiter, he naturally has no room to intervene.

"Rong Xuan...I just ask you to let me see you again."

Through the car curtain, Yan Du's voice was not very clear, but the bitterness came to Rong Xuan's ears exactly.Scenes of the past flashed back in my mind, and love and hate were entangled together, weaving an object that I don't know how to name.

"If you want to train your subordinates, remember to ask them to keep their mouths shut."

After a long time, the familiar voice in the car sounded again, Yan Du followed the voice and wanted to move forward very naturally, but was stopped by Wu Ya with a cold face.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Yan Shilang, you know best what I mean by that."

Yan Du's hand on Wu Ya's arm slowly slipped down, with a look of astonishment on his face.

A group of people fell silent, and the woods in the southern suburbs suddenly became eerily quiet. Both sides were in a stalemate, without saying a word.

"Rong Xuan, do you hate me?"

After a long time, Yan Du asked in a hoarse voice.There was bitterness in the slow and soft words, which sounded like slight tears.

hatred?

Thinking of the betrayal at the north gate of Rong Palace, the shame in Sifang Pine, and the frightening night in Wanyuan Inn a few days ago, the word hate is simply too light.If possible, it is best not to see his water-blue shirt, his almond-like face, or hear his half-bittered soft voice in the world.If you see him one more time, you will want to crush him to ashes.Rong Xuan sneered inwardly, even now, he still wants to ask for a favor from himself.

"I don't hate you, I'm just disappointed." Rong Xuan said in the middle of the car, "In the past you betrayed me, but now you betray the entire Rong country."

The car curtain was so calm that it never even swayed.The faint tone made people unable to hear the emotion, and Yan Du tried hard to distinguish a trace of hatred and reluctance from it, but it was still in vain after all.

"Yan Du, not killing you is my last favor to you, but in this life, don't let me see you again."

Yan Du was stunned in place, his face was ashamed.Wu Ya glanced at him, took back the jade flute, and returned to the car with Liu Qian.Before getting in the car, Liuqian glanced back at Yan Du, and felt a chill in his heart. He had never seen that high-spirited General Yan back then, with such a lost expression.

Once the curtain was covered, the sound outside could no longer be heard, and Yan Du seemed to have disappeared. Only the groom waved his whip and yelled, and the sound of wheels continuing to roll rang in his ears.

The horse ran up with a long hiss, the wind blew the curtains of the car, Rong Xuan caught a glimpse of the familiar aqua blue, and immediately closed his eyes firmly.Wu Ya stared at Rong Xuan, shook his head and sighed silently, Liu Qian, who didn't know the reason, lowered his head and frowned, not knowing what to say.

Wu Ya stared at Rong Xuan for a long time, but finally gave up helplessly and stopped asking.

"I want to ask you why you don't want to." Rong Xuan changed the subject.

Wu Ya said: "I'm just a bodyguard, this matter is really difficult to take on."

When he was in the villa, Rong Xuan was worried about what happened in the Wanyuan Inn, worried that he was not skilled enough, if one day he was robbed by others and lost his life, the whereabouts of Qianzibo would be broken, so he gave the key to Wu Career.

The so-called key is just a jade pendant that looks ordinary, but the jade pendant is hard and looks light and brittle, but its hardness is stronger than that of a solid stone.The engravings on it are so fine and complicated that they must be carved by skilled craftsmen for many years.

This jade is very rare, Wu Ya asked about it because he had never seen Rong Xuan wearing it before, Rong Xuan spread out his palms, and put the jade pendant in his palm, the jade pendant turned into a wisp of clear water in Rong Xuan's palm, flowing along Rong Xuan's body The palm prints flowed into the hands and disappeared, and when they folded their palms together again, the strand of clear water condensed out along Rong Xuan's palm prints and closed in the palms, and after a slight green light, it formed a jade pendant and lay on Rong Xuan's hands.Wu Ya has never seen such a strange jade ornament before, when he was playing with it in his palm, he thought it was some kind of strange object, and asked with a smile what it was.

"Xuanyuan Jade." Rong Xuan said, "It is said that it is a jade handed down from ancient times."

Wu Ya nodded and looked at the jade pendant carefully.

"This is the key to the thousand-character silk." Rong Xuan added

Wu Ya's expression froze when he heard that, he immediately released the jade pendant and returned it to Rong Xuan.

"how?"

Boundless shook his head.

Rong Xuan understood, and explained: "Father once said that Qianzibo is closely related to Lindu, and it is almost the lifeblood of Lindu. If something happens to me, Xuanyuanyu will melt into my body and I can't dig it out again." , that is equivalent to breaking the clue to the location of Qianzibo. Wu Ya, your skills are always better than mine, and Xuanyuan Jade is in your hands, so I am naturally more at ease."

Wu Ya interrupted him: "Xuan'er, this is entrusted to you by King Rong. You are the only one who can keep it. Now that His Majesty's soul has returned to heaven, that is His Majesty's last wish. How can you be so hasty?" Give it to someone else."

"But what if I..."

"No chance." Wu Ya sternly said, but then softened his voice, "Promise me you won't have any chance."

Rong Xuan looked at Wu Ya in a daze, stared at his eyes that melted into a river of spring water and nodded.

Now in the car, Rong Xuan tilted his head to look at him, Wu Ya said: "I still say the same thing."

Rong Xuan closed his eyes slightly, smiled and said no more.

Now Weiguo can't go there, and Yong'an City doesn't know how deep the water is, so in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, the return journey still detours to Yuejianguo, and the road is safe on the outskirts of the border town.Liuqian urged all the way, ran away and killed two steeds, and finally returned to Rong Palace on the seventh day.

"That's... His Royal Highness!"

The guard at the gate of Rong Palace exclaimed, and quickly ordered someone to open the palace gate.

"His Royal Highness! His Royal Highness has returned to the palace!"

There were palace people in Rong Palace who rushed all the way to Chun'an Hall to report the news.

Rong Xuan asked Liu Qian to reward the coachman, and the group went directly to Chun'an Hall.After returning to the palace, Rong Xuan's body also relaxed a little, his face still fixed.Wu Ya and the others followed behind without saying anything, just followed quickly.

It seemed that everything in the Rong Palace was as usual, and the palace people greeted Rong Xuan and the others as usual when they saw Rong Xuan and the others.Everything was very similar to the scene where Rong Xuan returned with Wu Ya after he left the palace without authorization and went to Tianze Mountain, but his mood was completely different.

Walking to Chun'an Hall, Rong Xuan paused and looked up at the high heavenly steps with a dazed expression.Wu Ya called softly, and Rong Xuan came back to his senses, and just about to take a step, he heard someone shout in surprise on the steps:

"Rong Xuan!"

Rong Xuan raised his head and followed the prestige, the sun was shining brightly in the Chun'an Hall, for a moment he couldn't tell who was coming, he could only hear a series of small steps, and several palace servants said "slow down, girl" "The girl fell carefully." After a while, a petite figure suddenly jumped into Rong Xuan's arms, holding Rong Xuan tightly without letting go.

"You're finally back..."

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, and Rong Xuan didn't know how to react, until he heard Wu Ya coughing lightly, Rong Xuan's body froze, and then quickly pulled the girl away to look at it, and said in surprise : "Xuanyue?"

Xuan Yue had tears streaming down her face, crying and laughing, her small face looked very lovely.

Rong Xuan wiped away her tears, and took a step away from Xuan Yue's body.

"Xuan Yue, this is General Jing Wu Ya Jing, my personal bodyguard."

Xuan Yue bowed her head slightly and bowed her body for a blessing, Wu Ya nodded slightly in return.

"This is the genius doctor Guijue."

Just as Xuan Yue was about to salute, she was stopped by Gui Jue: "Gui Jue can't bear the body of a daughter of the princess."

"This is Liuqian, a palace man who has been with me since childhood, you must have seen Rong Min in the palace these days."

"Little man Liuqian, I have met Princess Xuanyue."

Xuan Yue smiled wryly and said: "Even the family and the country are destroyed, where is the princess, just call me Miss Xuanyue."

After Xuan Yue finished speaking, she took Rong Xuan's arm and urged.

"Sister Min and the Queen are here, hurry up."
