Qingchuan History

Chapter 111
Feng Yi came out of Deyuzi Garden and immediately started to run wildly.Jing Tingge has good footwork, she has experienced it before, but fortunately, the former just walks fast, and the latter runs a little, so that she won't fall too much.

Finally, out of breath, he appeared ten feet behind Jing Tingge. The latter heard the sound, turned around and said speechlessly:
"If you can't catch up, forget it. There are soldiers patrolling this road, so nothing can go wrong. It's really dangerous, and you, a little girl, can't help. I have to take you with me to escape."

Feng Yi was slightly relieved when she heard that she could still joke, and then said seriously: "Don't worry about other servants, but the wind on the mountain is strong, it's already October, and it's even colder at night, Mr. Mister must wear this cloak."

Jing Tingge shook his head, turned around and continued to walk up, thinking that I was just a counselor, and I was offered up like a treasure by you. Now that girl is your wife, wouldn't she be besieged every day?
Thinking that Ruan Xueyin liked the quiet more than herself, she gloated a little: After more than ten years of quiet life, it still doesn't bother you to death?

Unexpectedly, Ruan Xueyin's troubles were only a matter of the last one or two months, and they were about to stop soon; on the contrary, it was her own destiny, and she couldn't avoid it.

When the first beacon tower appeared before the eyes, the twilight was over, and the sky was not yet dark gray-black.She wasn't sure about the direction, so she could only continue walking according to the scattered memories of last year. When she passed the beacon tower, she glanced subconsciously:
Sure enough.

Annoyed for a while, the pace also quickened.Feng Yi didn't understand, so she hurriedly followed, the sky was getting dark, but luckily, she carefully asked her to bring up the lamp.

This is like a city wall stretching thousands of miles on the top of a mountain. If you come up in the daytime, the scenery is very good, and it is a hundred times more spectacular than watching the autumn scenery on the meadow on the mountainside.But it's already night, and all the landscapes have turned into blue-black outlines and lines like ink pens. The breath from the vegetation and animals keeps rising, but the popularity is gradually thinning out.Although there is a beacon tower every five miles, and soldiers must be stationed between every few beacon towers, it takes a long time to walk five miles.

Occasionally, birds pass overhead, leaving echoes of flapping wings or two calls.Feng Yi was a little scared, and followed closely behind Jing Tingge.Jing Tingge's heart was beating wildly, his palms were already sweating, and he secretly thought that someone would come down from the mountain and meet him at the entrance of the trail?Don't they go this way?
At this moment, lights loomed in the distance, not just one or two o'clock.When he got closer, people's voices gradually became audible, Fengyi let out a long breath, supported Jing Tingge and said joyfully, "It can be counted as someone here. Since you came to invite me, there must be tea prepared on the mountain? Sir, are you thirsty? "

Jing Tingge suppressed his heartbeat and kept his pace. Seeing the lights approaching, before he could answer, he heard a resolute male voice in the lights:
"Who is in front?"

Hearing this, Feng Yi hurriedly raised her voice and answered: "My servant is Feng Yi next to Mr. Jing! Your Majesty sent someone to invite Mr. to go up the mountain in the evening, and Mr. Jing is here right now!"

After a short distance, the crisp girlish voice reverberated in the mountains.The approaching speed of the lights suddenly accelerated amidst the echo, and the sound of footsteps gradually became clearer. A group of people rushed to the front, and the leader was Lian Dong:

"Why did sir come up by himself? It was dark at night, and your majesty specially ordered the chariot sedan to meet you at the entrance of the trail, and ordered the servants to go down the mountain to escort you up at this time," he said, looking at Feng Yi, "didn't I tell you about Xu time?"

Feng Yi looked distressed, but listened to Jing Ting's song and said calmly: "I was going out for a walk after dinner, but just happened to be summoned by the king, so I walked up the trail slowly. Thanks for your hard work, there are still people waiting at the foot of the mountain." Please send a letter as soon as possible to tell them to go back."

How could Liandong dare to receive this courtesy, and hurriedly said: "Slaves dare not talk about hard work, I am afraid that you will be tired, and the king will blame you. But," he looked around, the surrounding was pitch black, "it's not yet time, Come up now sir—”

Jing Tingge understood it, and was even more sure that Murong Xun wanted to repeat the same trick, but did these busy palace soldiers know the reason?

If they knew about it, would I still have this reputation?
She had mixed feelings, worried, annoyed and uneasy, and managed to calm down, looking at Lian Dong and the soldiers behind him: "I've already come up now, after all, it's almost Xu time, please guide the way."

Naturally, this is the only way to go.Lian Dong walked in the front with a lamp, Jing Tingge and Feng Yi were in the middle, and the six soldiers kept a distance of about two, followed closely behind.

After about half an incense stick, the surrounding area is still silent, but the popularity has obviously increased.The man was wearing a black cloak, standing two feet away, the dragon pattern embroidery on it could not be seen clearly in the dark, but the standing posture and the profile of the profile, with the faint light of the lamp, still caught Jing Tingge's eyes suddenly .

"Your Majesty, Mr. Jing has arrived."

With such a weak light, Jing Tingge still saw his brows frowning slightly.Then he turned around, dissatisfaction written all over his face.

Everyone was terrified, and they were about to kneel down to plead guilty. Jing Tingge took a step forward, her beautiful face that could not be classified was hidden by the dim light——

Murong Xun's anger was extinguished, he slightly raised his hands and said: "Go down." Then he looked at Huo Qi again, "You also wait at a distance. When the time is up, ask them to light the lamp."

Hearing these two words, Jing Tingge still had a roar in his head.She almost blurted out "No palms allowed", but how could she be decent in front of so many people?And others may not know the reason, but once they open their mouths, they reveal their secrets.

Fortunately, before the time came, she held back her silence, and when everyone had receded, Fang looked at him and said solemnly: "I see that His Majesty doesn't want to sit on the throne anymore. Last year, the whole Qingchuan was bluffed, and this year Again?"

Murong Xun breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you willing to talk to me?"

Jing Tingge was short of breath, and thought that this person really couldn't go down the stairs, so he replied in a muffled voice:
"I'm a subject, why don't I talk to the emperor?" He looked at him, but his expression was unkind, "But just because I'm willing to talk to you doesn't mean I forgive you."

"I was—"

"Your Majesty," she interrupted aloud, she really didn't want to mention that matter again, "This lamp cannot be lit. If Your Majesty still listens to me, I will decree to stop tonight's arrangement now."

"I said last year that every year on this day, the lights on this mountain will be lit until I die."

Jing Tingge was furious: "Murong Xun, you're really crazy. That's a beacon tower, like a mountain. Can you light a fire on it? Last year throughout the autumn and winter, you still think that people in the world didn't speculate enough?"

Murong Xun was very calm: "What I ordered was not the beacon fire, but lamps or candles. Before the lighting last year, I issued an edict across the country, and every year since then, all the subjects have known about it. As for the entire Qingchuan's opinion—"

He looked at her deeply, with a smile in his eyes: "People in the world are not blind, they can tell the difference between a beacon fire and a light. You listen to those discussions, who said that they thought it was an early warning of war? How can there be such a weak and quiet person?" , Beacon fires that are even very beautiful from a distance, and are lit at the same time? Those fires did not come out of the beacon tube at all, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it."
