Chapter 174 No.20 Act Three The Return of the Prince IV

In Yujing Yongyang Palace, there is a side hall rarely visited by people.The original name of this hall is Fenghuan Hall, which was specially built by Emperor Baijiang for his beloved wife Lixu.However, shortly after Bai Jiangxi came to the throne, Li Xu died of illness.Therefore, he renamed the side hall that had never been inhabited here as the Hall of Si Nian, taking the meaning of "Thinking of the Splendid Years" to commemorate and commemorate.

For thousands of years, the successors of the Baijiang clan have followed the precepts of their ancestors, and have not allowed a single descendant to live in this side hall.Gradually, even the palace people who came to clean and repair the house also withdrew.Now the stone bricks on the ground in front of the court have been cracked by tree roots and wild vines, and the vermilion paint on the palace wall has also fallen off in pieces.Mosquitoes and flies gathered in the courtyard covered with green vines, and weeds were overgrown.

However, this place provides an excellent place for Gao Li to put Ning Yue under house arrest.He had already secretly ordered people to remove all the dead vines and weeds in the courtyard, and even repaired all the damaged parts in the hall.So much so that when Ning Yue followed the other party into the Hall of Missing Years for the first time, she thought she had gone to the wrong place.

Apart from being unable to leave the Hall of Missing Years all day long, the red-haired girl living here is not subject to any restraint or surveillance at all, and there are even groups of palace people serving her food and daily life every day. A distinguished guest who is invited to be a guest.However, Ning Yue didn't feel a little relieved because of this, instead she became thinner day by day.

Gao Li seemed to have planted some kind of enchantment in front of the hall, making it impossible for Ning Yue to perform even the simplest trick.The high wall of the palace completely cut off the girl locked in it from the outside world, and it also made her increasingly restless. Whenever she had free time, she would wander around the courtyard, hoping to find a way to escape.

On this day, the girl climbed up to the top of the rockery in the garden again in a daze.The Temple of Missing Years—the name seems to have been specially chosen for it at this moment.As long as she closes her eyes, the days of listening to the tide, stealing persimmons, and scouring the sea with Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin in Mulu City will clearly appear in her mind.

Perhaps, this is what people call the Splendid Years...

Ning Yue thought to herself, buried her head in her arms, and let out a long sigh.Thinking that it might be impossible to meet her companion again in this life, the girl's nose immediately became sour, and she started to sob silently.

"Why, who bullied you?"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind, causing Ning Yue's shoulders to tremble suddenly.Looking out from the gap between the arms, he saw Gao Li standing under the rockery, looking at him tenderly, and immediately turned his face away:

"none of your business!"

The red-haired girl didn't know why the other party treated a prisoner so kindly, but she vaguely felt that she must want to get more from herself.

Gao Li gasped a bit, but smiled indifferently, and immediately waved his hands and ordered his subordinates to retreat:
"The daughter of the great priest, she really has an upright temperament. I wonder if I'm getting used to it these days in the Temple of Missing Years?"

"You don't need to worry about whether you are used to it or not! If you fart, let go, and if you don't fart, get out of here!"

"Isn't it inappropriate to talk to your benefactor like this?"

"You put me under house arrest, and you still have the face to call yourself the benefactor of this girl?!"

Ning Yue didn't want to talk to the other party any more, even hearing him say a word felt extremely disgusting.Before she finished speaking, she flew down from the top of the rockery and fled towards the palace without looking back, all she wanted was to avoid the other party's entanglement.

But Gao Li caught up and grabbed the girl's sleeve: "Don't rush away. Don't you want to ask why I must keep you in this palace?"

These words were like a sharp arrow, directly hitting Ning Yue's already fragile heart—indeed, although the other party was Kun Jie's deacon, in the few months since she left the cell and moved into the Hall of Thoughts, Ning Yue had been The word "red-haired demon girl" has never been mentioned again.

The girl also understood that since Kunjie could plant his own spies in the landman's palace, if he found out about his whereabouts now, he would definitely come here without stopping.However, Gao Li seems to intend to use this to prove to her that he is not just a loyal dog under Kun Jie's command.

So, since the other party doesn't want to sacrifice his life for Kunjie, what is the reason for locking Ning Yue in the Hall of Thoughts?
Thinking about this, the red-haired girl gradually slowed down her swiftly walking pace, and stood at a distance of more than ten feet from the opponent, turned her head and stared into her blue eyes and said:
"Then you should explain clearly today, otherwise you will never bother me!"

Seeing this, Gao Li laughed again:
"Why do you need to be in such a hurry. Since the girl came to the Hall of Missing Years, I haven't held a banquet yet. You have lost a lot of weight recently, presumably because the servants have been negligent. Today, I specially ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a few small dishes. , talk about your heart."

After finishing speaking, the man raised his hands high and patted heavily a few times.Accompanied by clear and crisp applause in the courtyard, a group of palace servants entered from outside the garden, and in a short while they had already set up table tables in the garden and set up a feast of sumptuous delicacies.

After all, it's been a long time since Ning Yue hadn't eaten well, and Ning Yue could not help but growl in her stomach when she smelled the strong aroma wafting from the banquet.Although she was a little worried about whether she had tampered with the meal, she also understood that if she didn't eat the meal, she would no longer be able to ask the other party why, so she calmed down and sat down without hesitation.

"That's right. Try this dish first. It's called the Eight Treasures Honey Palm. It is the right front palm of the black scorpion hunted in Tongyan Mountain, supplemented with walnuts, almonds, wolfberry, coix, sunflower seeds, and lotus seeds. , red dates and longan, soaked in honey and then steamed. It is delicious and fragrant, crispy and smooth, and it is a great tonic for the body."

As Gao Li said, Bian picked up a bear's paw cut into small squares and put it in the girl's bowl.

At first Ning Yue just wanted to deal with the meal as soon as possible, but who knew that the bear's paw seemed to explode in her mouth as soon as she took it, and the delicious fragrance was overflowing.Even when she was in Jiayunzhai, the girl had never eaten such a delicacy. Even if her appetite was aroused, she ate three or four yuan in a row.

"Try this red stuffed shark fin again—"

Seeing that the girl did not resist, Gao Li held up his chopsticks and stretched it out to the other plate.However, this time Ning Yue shook her head and put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand:

"Treat me with so many delicacies from mountains and seas, don't you think I can finish it?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. These things are the ingredients prepared by the imperial dining hall in the palace. Even if I eat it every day and night by myself, I can't finish it at all. It's better to share it with the girls. "

"You are quite generous, don't you really think of yourself as the emperor living in Yujing?"

The girl snorted disdainfully, but immediately caused the other party to laugh and say:

"Now, the blood of the Baijiang clan is only an idiot who doesn't understand anything. Although he is sitting on the throne of the emperor, he has long since lost his status as an emperor. You are right. Now in Yujing, With the power in my hands, I am the only one who is qualified to call myself emperor!"

"Only in this kind of place where there is no one around, can you speak so brazenly and talk about sex?"

Ning Yue sneered fiercely, without showing any mercy.A trace of displeasure flashed across Gao Li's face, but soon he nodded in agreement with self-deprecation:

"In this world, there are only two things in the mind of a man with great ambitions like me: money and supreme power. That's why I need Miss Ning Yue's help!"

"Me? Help you? This girl doesn't even have the ability to escape from this palace now. It's already good if I don't hope that you die early. How can I help you?"

"Since Miss Ningyue has been with Kunjie before, she must know that there is a holy city left by the ancestors in this world, and there is a secret hidden in the city that can help me rule the world—"

Gao Li no longer went around in circles, but went straight to the point.Only then did Ning Yue finally understand that the person in front of her had somehow learned about the existence of the city left behind by the ancestors, and planned to use herself to enter the holy city before Kunjie did, and obtain the legendary Ultimate power!
"I don't know where the holy city is located."

The girl immediately shook her head in denial.But the face of Gao Li on the opposite side was full of disbelief:

"As the daughter of the great priest, and she has lived in Cangliu City for so many years, she always has the opportunity to learn a little about it. Besides, if you don't know about it, why would Kunjie use so many The hands of the land vassals are trying their best to search for your whereabouts?"

"That's because I—"

Ning Yue originally wanted to say that Kunjie sent someone to arrest her because of his blood flowing through her body.However, before she could say anything, she suddenly became worried—if the greedy Gao Li knew her true identity, it was hard to guarantee that she would not cause trouble to her upper body and even more troublesome troubles.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch in front of him keenly captured the change of expression on the girl's face: "Because what happened to you?"

"Because he wants to use me to threaten my father in Cangliu City, that's all!"

Ning Yue had no choice but to hastily cover up.However, the other party did not believe it at all:
"Don't lie to me again. Due to the eruption of lava under the sea, the current Cangliu City has already been turned into a ruin under the Chanying Sea. One of them is no longer in this world, so it makes more sense for Kunjie to do everything possible to catch you back. You can't know everything!"

Gao Li's words immediately caused the girl's brain to buzz - although she already knew that she and Feng Weishu were not related by blood, and they had confronted each other before, but after all, the other party had raised her for more than ten years, and had treated her There is a lot of love.Now that she suddenly heard that she was no longer alive, Ning Yue still found it difficult to accept:

"You're talking nonsense! Cangliu City is clearly protected by an enchantment... Could it be that Kun Jie made trouble again?!"

Suddenly knowing that her hometown had been destroyed, the red-haired girl's face was filled with endless sadness.Soon, she realized who the culprit of all this was.

Gao Li seemed to intend to reveal this news to the girl, and took the opportunity to fan the flames: "So what? If you don't know the whereabouts of the holy city, even if you want to avenge your father, how can you be his opponent? "

Ning Yue understood that no matter how much she explained, the other party would never believe her.Instead, he changed the subject and asked loudly:

"But even if I know the whereabouts of the holy city, what can you do?"

Gao Li put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and smiled: "It's okay to tell you. Now that idiot emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty obeyed me, the only thing missing now is the power to make the world fear. As long as you can find it first Holy City, master the ultimate power of the ancestors, no one in this world can be my opponent!"

"In this way, doesn't it mean that you want to take a share from Kun Jie's mouth, how can he agree?"

"When did I say that I wanted to share food with others? I suffered so much back then, I didn't hesitate to mutilate my body, and sneaked into Yujing alone as a servant and slave, and finally climbed to the current position step by step! But he What about Kunjie? Apart from squandering the money I racked my brains to send out from the palace, not only did I never say thank you, on the contrary, I became even more aggressive and commanded me like an animal. The divine power of the ancestors belonged to me alone. This world is also! It's all mine!"

As Gao Li spoke, a frenzied and paranoid light shot out of his eyes, "Whether it's Kunjie or a person on land, no one can order me to do anything! I'm destined to be the new lord of this land, and all living beings are worthy Will crawl at my feet!"

Looking at the man in front of him who was about to fall into madness, Ning Yue couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic, and asked again after a while:
"You are deliberately making an enemy of Kunjie here, aren't you afraid that he will be suspicious?"

"If you don't let him notice, how can you be suspicious? Kunjie just led his troops to attack an isolated island in the sea not long ago, and there is no time to meddle in my affairs! Besides, even if he knows now, I don't have to be afraid at all!"

As Gao Li said, he stretched out his hand and tugged on the hook belt around his waist, and took off the heavy winter robe in front of the girl!Ning Yue exclaimed, and immediately put on a defensive posture, but saw that the other party was not trying to do anything wrong, but was wearing a snow-white robe under the outer robe, and the robe was embroidered with strips of gold thread. Soaring Cloud Dragon!
"Do you know what I'm wearing? This is the dragon robe of the emperor on land! The idiot emperor of the Baijiang clan has already agreed to hand over the Zhenguo Yuxie after this year's New Year's Eve, and declare that the Zen of the world is under me. ! At that time, even if Kunjie wants to move me, he will definitely be unable to defeat the entire army of the Great Sheng Dynasty!"

Ning Yue couldn't help feeling a little scared—all living beings in the world can hardly escape a demon called grievance.They weigh their own contributions and rewards in their hearts all the time.Once the fragile balance between the two is no longer there, they will quickly fall into the emotions of fear, anger, resentment and hatred, and it is difficult to extricate themselves.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more good thing to tell the girl."

Gao Li laughed until the veins on his forehead bulged, and it took him a while to return to normal.Ning Yue had a vague premonition in her heart, and asked vigilantly:

"What good can it do?"

The man on the opposite side took a step forward and bullied her: "On the day of the Zen seat, I will announce to the world that I will marry a new queen. And that new queen is you. Both of you and I live longer than people on land. For a long time, if we can work together, we can create an immortal foundation!"

Hearing what he said, the red-haired girl immediately "thumped" in her heart, and stepped back again and again: "You should die, I will never agree to marry you!"

"Don't worry, there are still a few months, and I will slowly change your mind. After all, you can't go anywhere right now!"

Gao Li didn't care at all, and revealed his true face hidden under the hypocrisy, "Do you still remember the island that Kunjie attacked before? Listen to him, it seems that there are people living on that island. This brat who likes to wear white clothes seems to be the young master of Ye Kingdom. If you want to ask me to find out more about that brat, you’d better be obedient. I’ll give you a few days to think it over!"

"Ziyin? Is that person you're talking about Ziyin?"

Hearing this, Ning Yue's shoulders trembled involuntarily.However, Gao Li refused to say another word, just walked past her domineeringly, and walked straight to the gate of the palace without even looking back.
