Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 821
Cicadas should not survive summer.But I don’t know if it’s because the Cloud Forest is isolated from the world and has a unique climate, so there are cicadas singing in this cool autumn night.

Hearing the strange singing of cicadas, Zhao Guang, who was waiting not far away, felt a little irritable, and reached out his hand to grope around the tree trunk, trying to grab the weird cicada down.

"What are you doing?" Ying Baoyue came over at this moment, looked at him curiously and asked.

"I'm catching cicadas," said Zhao Guang.

"What are you doing by catching it?" Ying Baoyue looked at him and said, "The cicada has been lurking underground for ten years, just for the three months above the ground, it won't live long."

Zhao Guang paused when he heard the words, and withdrew his hand in embarrassment.This is common sense that every child knows, but what the girl said made him feel suffocated for no reason.

How far away is the rhyme of the high cicada, and the lingering sound of the luxuriant tree.Senior officials in Soochow loved to wear jade cicadas, which meant blockbuster surprises. Cicadas were just ordinary ornaments, but when this girl mentioned cicadas, Zhao Guang couldn't help but think of something.

His gaze stayed on Ying Baoyue's wrist wrapped around the cloth strip, and Li Ji's assertion to her earlier sounded in his ears.

"You..." In order to hide the emotion in his heart, he looked up at Song Qian who was leaving not far away, "Have you finished talking with Zhong Tang stepson?"

"Well," Ying Baoyue nodded, "It's over."

"What about me?" Zhao Guang approached her enthusiastically, "What do you want to tell me?"

Look at the many things she told Song Qian just now, he has known her for so long, so why should there be one, two, three, four things?
"Entrustment?" Ying Baoyue was stunned, "I have nothing to entrust you. Tomorrow you just follow Chunhuajun and the others closely, and don't run around."

Zhao Guang felt that his self-esteem had been hurt.

"Then why did you call me out this late at night?" He widened his eyes, he was so excited that he was blind for nothing.

He was not Li Ji, someone came to him every night in Beihan Pavilion, but that person could only practice without going out every night.

After all, it's really rare for him to have a girl ask him out at night...

"I just wanted to ask you something," Ying Baoyue smiled sheepishly, "but after the elementary ceremony, too many things got delayed."

If you don't ask, I'm afraid you won't have a chance.

Looking at the quiet gaze of the girl in front of him, it seemed that a chill had suppressed the restlessness in Zhao Guang's heart.

"What do you want to ask?" Zhao Guang asked, and his wild thoughts were thrown out of his mind when he heard the elementary ceremony.

After all, a lot of things really happened in that ceremony.

"You have always been well-informed, but I don't know if you knew about what happened more than ten years ago." Ying Baoyue had a complicated expression. When she was a teenager in her previous life, she only cared about fighting, and she left all the information gathering to the adjutant, otherwise some Something she should have noticed earlier.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Guang's eyes darkened, "Is it something related to the royal families of other countries?"

Ying Baoyue was amazed at this young man's keenness. The Soochow County King is indeed a professional when it comes to intelligence.

She nodded, "It's about the Hou Liao royal family."

"Sure enough," Zhao Guang let out a breath, "I knew you wanted to ask about Murong."

The last opponent she met in the primary ceremony was Murong.

But having a royal surname and being a royal are two different things, otherwise there would be royal families all over the land of mountains and seas.

Later Liao, the country's surname was Murong.

On the Shanhai Continent, the Hou Liao royal family can be said to be the least famous royal family.Until the appearance of the princess.

"The number one beauty in the Northern Kingdom back then," Ying Baoyue looked into Zhao Guang's eyes that knew everything about the world, "Murongyin, Princess of the Later Liao Dynasty, does she have a younger brother?"

Zhao Guang's eyes narrowed, and then he said lightly, "There is indeed one."

"Is it?" Ying Baoyue was taken aback when he heard the words, "Why is it still?"

Murongyin is the orthodox princess of Hou Liao, and the current King of Hou Liao is her elder brother.It stands to reason that her younger brother must also be the serious prince of Hou Liao, why is there such a saying.

"Just because the elder princess' younger brother is only her younger brother, he cannot be regarded as a descendant of the Murong family in a strict sense." Zhao Guang explained.

Ying Baoyue paused, looked at Zhao Guang and asked softly, "Is it the same mother and half father?"

Zhao Guang glanced at the girl in front of him in surprise, he didn't expect her to think of this level all of a sudden.

"That's right," Zhao Guang nodded, "It is said that the eldest princess' younger brother was born of an affair between her mother and the guards."

"There should be at least ten years of age difference between her and that younger brother. Her mother gave birth at an advanced age and passed away because of dystocia."

Zhao Guang said slowly, "Although the people of Hou Liao are relatively open, they can't tolerate such things. The king of Hou Liao threw the baby into the stable to fend for himself, but for some reason, the princess secretly carried the child back at night. .”

This was also a miracle at the time.

After all, with such a younger brother, any princess would just take it as a shame and wish for that person to die, but Murongyin saved the child with her own life in front of King Hou Liao, and put him in his palace to raise him.

Over time, everyone knows that Princess Hou Liao loves that bastard brother very much.

However, this story can only end up being a tragedy.

Anyone who knows Murong Yin's later fate can guess it.

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes when she heard the words, "What happened to that child?"

"You must have guessed it," Zhao Guang said lightly, "Murongyin escaped from marriage, and then the ministers of Liao Dynasty took the initiative to arrest the child, carried him to the foot of the snow-capped mountain and hung it on the tip of a knife, forcing Murongyin to go down the mountain."

Although King Hou Liao was not in the country at that time, this was also his order.

After all, no one would take that kid seriously.

"And then?" Ying Baoyue took a deep breath, "I'm afraid the threat didn't succeed."

Otherwise, the Empress Liao Princess would not have disappeared on the Xiling Snow Mountain without leaving her bones.

"That's right, I wonder where the Xiling Snow Mountain is," Zhao Guang sighed, "The child was not yet five years old, no matter whether he was a natural practitioner or not, he was frightened and was invaded by cold air just after he was brought down the mountain." died."

died.

Ying Baoyue clenched her hands tightly, "Are you sure you're dead?"

"Of course," Zhao Guang once had doubts, but it was true that the child had no chance of surviving back then.

"The envoys from Xi Rong who asked for peace went directly to Hou Liao to force marriage, and went to Xiling Snow Mountain with Hou Liao officers and soldiers," Zhao Guang looked at Ying Baoyue and said, "Even if Hou Liao people wanted to show favoritism, under the supervision of Xi Rong people It is also impossible to give up the only reason to threaten Murongyin."

The child's body must have been inspected countless times.

"I know what you're suspicious of," Zhao Guang looked at Ying Baoyue and said, "But that boy named Murong Heng is unlikely to be the kid from back then."

The dead cannot be brought back to life.

"Besides, no matter what you say now, Murong Heng is already dead," Zhao Guang looked at Ying Baoyue and said, "The people from the Southern Chu Imperial Prayer Province went to the mountain to find the corpses and retrieved many corpse fragments, which they said were crushed by rocks. It's not like a man anymore."

But even so, no one came to collect the body of the young man who had committed a serious crime.

"Beihan Pavilion said that it was an adopted orphan. I don't know who instigated it. In short, I picked myself clean." Zhao Guang said.

No one to care about, no one to collect the body, no one to rely on.

Zhao Guang felt emotional in his heart.

After all, that boy is just a ghost wandering in the world.

"Okay, I got it," Ying Baoyue closed her eyes and looked at Zhao Guangdao, "Thank you for telling me this, sorry for disturbing your rest, you have to pass the test tomorrow, go to bed early."

Do you pass...

The thoughts in Zhao Guang's mind were interrupted by this word and he became tense.

He looked up to the sky, and the stone gate in the darkness was tall and majestic, like a monster with a long mouth waiting for them to enter.
