Chapter 84: Reading the phoenix eaves, reading the ancient roads

8days ago Historical fiction 7
It was almost dusk, and the dazzling light turned into a dim red line spreading in the courtyard. This remote place was sparsely populated, and there were only a few maids joking downstairs. Until one person led a flawless horse to come here, the dim red sun shone on the horse's body, the horse's strong body, and the smooth lines made people feel that their blood was bursting. The white fur was as white as snow. The people came with a long gown, and their handsome faces were smiling faintly, and they led the horse step by step.

Several maids looked at the snow-white horse and saw it worth it. Such a good horse is not easy to see, and the person coming was Song Jie.

When Song Jie tied the horse, a red Jiazhou horse next to him was basking in the sun lazily. When the Demon Country horse he brought was tied with this Jiazhou horse, the two horses were really like enemies. They looked at each other and didn't like each other. Song Jie didn't care. He smiled faintly and took the maid to the small building.

The incense burner in the small building was ignited with fragrance, and a pot of tea was placed on the table. After the alcohol faded, a beautiful blush left on her face, which looked so beautiful. As soon as Song Jie came in, he lowered his body and knelt on the ground and said: Song Jie has seen Your Highness, I wish Your Highness good health!

Liu Ruoxuan looked lazy and raised her jade hand and said: Please get up.

Song Jie immediately got up, took out a brocade box from his arms, and respectfully presented it: When she heard that the princess was drunk, Song Jie had a piece of the best jade that had been treasured for many years in the Song Mansion. This jade smelled unique and strange fragrance, and it had the effect of awakening the spirit.

When I opened the brocade box, a piece of jade was lying quietly in the box. The jade body was crystal clear, and a layer of spiritual light flowed, like clear water waves. The spiritual energy was floating around the jade, and a refreshing fragrance also came towards me, which was extraordinary.

Liu Ruoxuan said softly: This piece of jade is collected from the fairy island, collecting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the essence of the clock, sun and moon. It takes tens of thousands of years to form a piece of it. The fairy island is in the vast deep sea, which is difficult for the world to find. Hundreds of years ago, a golden crow flew from the sea of ​​demons, holding a piece of jade in the mouth, and finally landed on the Qianyun Lake, the Demon Kingdom. It is said that at that time, in the middle of winter, the jade fell in the water of Qianyun Lake, and a snow lotus bloomed in the lake, and the fragrance was transported for dozens of miles. The ancestors of the Song family took great pains to salvage it ashore. It is also a treasure that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the Demon Kingdom. If you send it to this palace, how can you explain it to the Song family after you go back?Although jade is good, I can only appreciate the kindness of this.

Song Jie shook his head and smiled: No, in fact, this jade was specially told by my father to present it to His Highness the Princess in person. My father said that although he had never seen the princess, he still sincerely admired the princess. This jade is only worthy of a peerless beauty like the princess. Please accept it.

While talking, he knelt in front of her with a brocade box in his hand. Liu Ruoxuan looked at his face. This person was so elegant and handsome. He was really a handsome man. When he knelt in front of him, he was even more sincere. Thinking of this, he whispered: Since that's the case, I'll accept it.

She gently took the brocade box and even put her jade hand on Song Jie's sleeve to stroke him. Song Jie smiled on her face and gently stroked her. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she held her jade hand and stood up naturally. She held her jade hand just right in the middle. This beautiful jade hand makes people feel ecstatic when they hold it.

Liu Ruoxuan gently withdrew her hands and said indifferently: Song Qing is the next generation's head of the family in the Demon Kingdom. I don't know if it is a coincidence, but in this generation, the demon clan has started to cause chaos. This palace is both a member of the Nine Heavens. I hope that Song Qing will lead the demon clan's strong troops to show the glory of the former battle formation when the Demon Kingdom is in chaos.

Song Jie said respectfully: Princess, don’t worry, the Demon Kingdom has been favored by the Dragon City for generations. At this time of crisis, the demon clan will never be allowed to be rampant. He will defend the Nine Heavens even if he dies!

Liu Ruoxuan smiled faintly after hearing this: Song Qing is indeed loyal and righteous.

Song Jie hit the railway while it was hot: I came here this time, and I thank Your Highness in person. Your Highness bought two thousand horses from the Demon Kingdom to enrich Jiazhou. I have been in a hurry to return to the Demon Kingdom and tell my father the great news.

Liu Ruoxuan looked at him with beautiful eyes and said: Song Qing thought that this is the only purpose of this in this palace to choose the Martial Horse?

Song Jie shook his head and smiled: The princess, on the one hand, letting Jiazhou know shame and then be brave, and on the other hand, also encourage the Demon Kingdom to not be careless. I believe that what Your Highness hopes is that a better horse can be cultivated among the Demon Kingdom horses and the Demon Kingdom horses, for my Nine Heavens.

Liu Ruoxuan nodded and said: Song Qing's words are exactly what I think. The world of the demon world is all about Jiazhou horses. The horses in the demon country are the best in the world, but in the past few hundred years, no better horse breeds have been produced. Longcheng is also deeply worried about this. Since this palace has been ordered by the saint to come to Jiazhou, it is naturally hoped that the horses in the demon country and Jiazhou horses will combine with each other, and it will not take long to cultivate a better peerless horse for the ninth level of heaven and use it for the world.

Song Jie picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea ceremony: The demon clan is trying hard to catch the Tianma, probably to cultivate stronger horse breeds. I think that Tianma is not a thing in the world. When it runs, it is as fast as lightning, as fast as thunder, and is rushing at lightning. If you catch the Tianma and breed it with it, you may not have any unexpected gains. Princess, do you think?

Liu Ruoxuan drank tea lightly and said: Tianma is a god of demon world, how can we let us be defiled?The demon clan is overestimating its own abilities, so why bother to imitate them? I don’t bother to do this.

Song Jie clasped his fists and said: Your Highness blamed me, I am indeed too anxious...

Liu Ruoxuan said: You don’t have to blame yourself. In fact, this huge ninth heaven, who doesn’t want to contribute to the demon world...

Song Jie asked tentatively: I heard that Wei Lang got the Ice Dragon Bow and his fierceness was revealed...

Liu Ruoxuan interrupted him and said: No one can pull the dragon bow outside him. You don’t have to think about it. This palace will not favor anyone.

Song Jie quickly lowered his head. Just then, in the yard outside the building, a few horses were neighing. Song Jie's face changed and he suddenly laughed: I came here this time, and I specially chose a handsome horse in the Demon Kingdom for the princess. This horse has innocent blood and is of first-class quality. So I brought it to the princess to show my gratitude.

The horse outside kept yelling, very noisy. She frowned and asked: Why is it so noisy?

Song Jie clasped his fists and said: I don’t know, but you will know it after a look.

Liu Ruoxuan got up beautifully, moved her delicate body to the window, opened the window with her hands lightly, and looked downstairs. She couldn't help but feel a blush on her face. She couldn't struggle, and the maids downstairs were even more embarrassed and blushed, one by one, and they didn't dare to go over. There were also laughter and scolding.

Song Jie looked at the beautiful figure by the window and looked at it for a few seconds. His body was almost stuck to her fairy jade body. He smelled the faint fragrance of her hair in an extremely ambiguous way and said intoxicatedly: The beast that brought about is ignorant, it is all my fault.

Liu Ruoxuan closed the window and said: It's okay, you can't blame me.

Song Jie looked at her meaningfully, and said with a bit of heat: The horse in Jiazhou, which is in line with the horse in the Demon Kingdom, will definitely produce a better horse. Princess, do you think?

The words were frivolous, she frowned and said: What do Song Qing want to say?

Song Jie looked directly at her face and said without any permission: I am forgiving, Your Highness is the Princess of Longcheng, a beautiful fairy with golden branches and jade leaves. I, Song Jie, are also the grandson of the Demon King, a young and handsome hero, and noble blood. Your Highness has asked questions knowingly.

For a moment, her temperament was as cold as ice and the atmosphere became more stalemate. Song Jie had to change the topic and said: Now that the demon clan is powerful, is the princess interested in sending people to the Hundred Thousand Mountains?

As soon as Song Jie finished speaking, she felt her eyes look at her face. She was silent for a moment and said softly: I am interested, but no one is willing to do such a thing as dying.

Song Jie said: But it doesn’t mean that no one wants it, at least Song Jie is willing to go.

Liu Ruoxuan nodded and said: What else?

Song Jie smiled and said: If I go, Wei Lang must go too, so there will be another person.

Liu Ruoxuan smiled after hearing this: Actually, I am very happy that you have this kind of heart. However, there are many crises in the demon cave. If there are any mistakes, I may not be able to take responsibility.

She behaved elegantly, gently picked up the teacup with her jade hand, opened her red lips and drank a few sips of fragrant tea: As for what you said, I will think carefully, you might as well go back first now.

Song Jie nodded slightly and slowly retreated. As soon as Song Jie left, Liu Ruoxuan walked down the small building calmly, but walked towards the depths of the pavilions and towers.

Sun Gui was serving Dafan. Dafan sat on the soft couch and drank tea lightly. His eyes passed by the pigeons carving grains in the yard from time to time. Sun Gui grabbed the food from time to time and sprinkled it on the yard. More than a dozen pigeons were eating slowly, not afraid of people at all. He seemed to be fed often.

In this comfort, Liu Ruoxuan came from the corridor, and Sun Gui hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Your Highness is healthy, phoenix body."

The Dafan sat on the soft couch and stood up slightly and said, "I have met Your Highness."

She nodded and said: Do you often feed this pigeon?

Sun Gui glanced at it a few times and smiled: That's why my family's great vassal is free, so she likes to feed some pigeons. If this continues, these pigeons always fly here to eat.

Sitting on the soft couch, the big vassal looked leisurely at this moment, and said calmly: The so-called eating the king's fortune is to relieve your worries. These pigeons have been with you for a long time for many years. I don't know how much sorrow I have solved the town, and I feel deeply moved by my thoughts...

Liu Ruoxuan smiled indifferently and said: Everything has spirituality, it is true.

Dafan said leisurely with his eyes: I see the palace here, seem to have something to worry about?

She grabbed a handful of millet and threw it into the yard. The pigeon next to her quickly rushed over to eat. Looking at the happy scene, her cold face seemed to be a little soft: I came here this time, I really have something to ask for.

Dafan looked up at the pigeon in the yard and said: I wonder if it is a matter of the demon clan?

Liu Ruoxuan said softly: That's right, it is said that monsters have recently erupted from the deep mountains. Ruoxuan thought about it and wanted to let people go deep into the demon cave again to see what kind of terrifying existence the demon monster that had been hidden for hundreds of years...

After listening carefully, Dafan slowly said: The bat demon rushed out of the deep mountains to cause chaos. I also heard a little. Apart from the fear of the world, catching wind and shadows, spreading rumors, the so-called "no wind can no longer cause waves," I thought it would be somewhat authentic.

Liu Ruoxuan said: So does Dafan think this matter is feasible?

Dafan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes looked like a torch and looked at the rolling mountains above his head and said: Although I am old, at this time of crisis, the Mu Mansion will never hesitate.

She suddenly looked back and saw that in her beautiful eyes, the old man with white hair was sitting quietly on the soft couch. Although his eyes were already turbid, his eyes were still firm. She saw the man's responsibility from this old man. No matter how eroded the years, even if youth is gone, and the twilight years are gone, that shocking sound is still full of the power to make the world crazy and move forward. Even if there are thousands of people, I will go!

The more chaotic the times are, the more people's hearts can be seen, the more they can be seen. A man's responsibility is the kind of responsibility that stands tall and has no regrets!

The pigeon lowered his head and ate the grain. The great vassal looked at the majestic mountains and said calmly: Although the population of our Mu Mansion is not strong, there are still 86,000 armored men in the vassal. Since the princess is determined to explore the demon cave again, the old minister is willing to give her meager strength.

After Dafan said that, his eyes turned to Sun Gui beside him. Sun Gui seemed to have expected it and stepped forward and said: This time, he explored the Demon Cave, which is extraordinary. Sun Gui has been in Jiazhou for many years and is willing to be a guide.

At this time, a dark cloud happened to hit the sky, and everything was silent.

********************

Tonight's night came as expected, but a moon was shrouded in dark clouds and the moonlight was bleak, which made people feel very dull.

With the scarcity of moon shadows, in this remote building, a few candlelights were slightly extinguished. Wu Jun sat next to the candle, carefully carrying the candle wick, and the candlelight became brighter, illuminating everything in the room.

The beautiful girl at the table was holding up her pen and writing something. Her handwriting was beautiful and neat, and even the paper was filled with a faint fragrance. The black hair gently fell on her shoulders and chest. Her beautiful face was as calm as water, elegant as the world, and the noise of the world seemed to be inconvenient. The peerless and extraordinary figure had already amazed everything silently.

Wu Jun restrained his breath and did not dare to breathe. He was afraid that he would disturb such quiet and elegant beauty. When he walked over carefully, he poured her a cup of fragrant tea.

He whispered: Your Highness, drink some.

Liu Ruoxuan frowned slightly, looked up at him, and shook her head and said: You don’t have to stay here, you can go back and rest first.

Wu Jun looked at her face and said: How dare I rest when the princess is so worried about eating and sleeping?I just want to serve you.

She smiled and said: OK, then you can polish some ink for me.

Wu Jun nodded and answered, sat next to her and grinded her in a serious way, and his eyes were inadvertently cast on her. She saw that there was a different kind of charm in the cold place at this moment, and she was stunned for a moment...

Liu Ruoxuan kept writing with her pen and said lightly: What do you say about Miss Jinyue?

Wu Jun coughed and said: Dingzhou came to explore the strength of the demon world, so naturally he would not miss this opportunity. Except for Xuanyuan Wen, Jin Yue, Nangong Xianer, and Zhou Ning, they all decided to go.

She nodded and said: I thought it would be Zhou Ning who stayed, but it turned out that Xuanyuan Wen was stayed.

Wu Jun said again: The monk Wuxiang took a boat from Dingzhou to the capital of Shuiguojiang. He brought thousands of scriptures, while preaching, he also accepted disciples and intentionally went to Longcheng to persuade Longcheng to build Buddhist temples in various parts of the world.

Liu Ruoxuan nodded and didn't say anything. When she picked up the pen, a strand of hair squirted slightly on her red lips, and her appearance was indescribable.

Wu Jun looked at the words on the paper a few times, and his face showed an appreciation. Her words were beautiful and beautiful, as if a faint fragrance of ink was overflowing from the paper. After Liu Ruoxuan finished writing the words, she raised her jade arm and took a teacup and drank it: Is there anything wrong with the bear clan?

Wu Jun stood up and stood respectfully and said: Princess, you took the initiative to show your kindness to the bear clan. It is said that the bear clan was very happy after hearing this news. He heard that the bear soldier retreated for more than 30 miles overnight. Even when he was unable to eat enough, the other people in the bear clan could make some money.

Liu Ruoxuan said in a quiet voice: In the envelope on the dressing table, there is a letter written by me. You must hand it over to Mr. Xiong Clan in person.

Wu Jun nodded and said: Yes!

Liu Ruoxuan said again: When I met Mr. Da, I told him that I had 200,000 taels of silver in the Jiazhou Money House. Please accept this little respect with him.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver are not a small amount, and Wu Jun's face immediately changed color. However, the bear clan has lived in the deep mountains for generations. Not to mention that there are many inconveniences, the clan is even short of silver and money. This amount is absolutely moving. However, since Liu Ruoxuan said that, he had to do it and nodded heavily and said: Don't worry, your highness, I will do it, and there will be no mistakes.

She savored the tea with red lips and said: How did Mr. Mo go along?

Wu Jun said with a grudge: This madman has gone all the way to the 100,000 mountains. His Highness treats him so well, but he does not appreciate it at all.

Liu Ruoxuan smiled faintly after hearing this, and looked out the window with beautiful eyes: I was going toward the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch...

Wu Jun snorted: I will never show mercy when I meet him next time!

Liu Ruoxuan poured another cup of tea and chanted: Wei Lang suppressed him with his fierce God Bow, how can you defeat him?

Wu Jun's face changed and he hurriedly said: Your Highness...

But she smiled whispered: The most precious thing in this world is actually tolerance.

Wu Jun shook his head heavily and sighed deeply.

Liu Ruoxuan said: If you have nothing else, go back to bed.

Wu Jun glanced at her deeply, turned around and took the letter from the dressing table, walked down the building step by step, and disappeared into the darkness.

Liu Ruoxuan watched him leave. When he closed the window, the night sky was dark and the crescent moon was dark...

She picked up the veil on the table, covered her beautiful face, moved her delicate body and came downstairs alone, walking in the huge Mu Mansion in the dark clouds and in the dark night.

When Zhou Ning was about to sleep, a knock came from outside the door. When he opened the door, a man in Confucian clothes was Sun Gui.

Sun Gui walked in with a smile, looked around and said: I heard that the young master, Miss Nangong and Miss Jinyue, decided to go to the Demon Cave together?

Zhou Ning never thought that Sun Gui, the butler of the Mu Mansion, would come here late at night. Speaking of these, he nodded in a panic and said: Mr., what he said is right, that's exactly what he said.

Sun Gui pondered for a moment and said slowly: The guests didn't know that the 100,000 mountains were far more dangerous than they thought. This trip to the devil's cave can be said to be full of dangers. Since the distinguished guests came from afar, the Mu Mansion naturally wanted to protect the distinguished guests. So I came here to inform the distinguished guests that it would be enough for the Mu Mansion to travel to the devil's cave. If there were too many people, it would be easy to be noticed by the demon clan. If you believe that you don't have to go to the tiger's den in person. Whenever there are any important clues, the Mu Mansion will definitely not hide it and tell the distinguished guests.

After listening carefully, Zhou Ning was so flattered: We all know what the sir said, but the understanding of the demon clan outside the sea of ​​demons is extremely lacking, and he only stops at the level of hearing. He knows that the strength of the demon clan has reached a terrifying level. Therefore, we are not afraid of hardships this time, and cross the sea of ​​demons to come to the demon world, just to witness the secrets of the demon clan with our own eyes. If we are afraid of life and death, we will not come to the demon world.

Sun Gui shook his head and frowned: The war is approaching and it is imminent. I understand the eagerness of the distinguished guests, but the future is too dangerous. It is better not to take risks with your own life.

Zhou Ning said with great respect: Mr., kindness makes people feel very friendly, but Jiazhou is not afraid of life and death, and Dingzhou may not be afraid. We came from afar, with high hopes from all the people outside the sea of ​​demons, in order to bring back the information of the demon clan accurately, even if we pay the price, we will do whatever we want.

Sun Gui looked at him and said: Did the distinguished guest really decide?

Zhou Ning said without hesitation: Wealth and honor are in heaven, life and death are destined, it is decided.

Sun Gui sighed in an instant and said: Since that's the case, I'll leave too.

He said as he slowly retreated into the darkness. In the darkness, a stunning girl stood tall and graceful, which was Liu Ruoxuan.

Sun Gui walked up to him and shook his head and said: No matter what he said, he still insisted on his own.

Liu Ruoxuan turned her delicate body and looked at him and said: No wonder, it’s just that you have worked hard tonight.

She said as she looked at the bleak night sky, her delicate body disappeared into the night, a gust of wind passed by, and it seemed that no one had ever come here...
