Chapter 953 How much I liked you when I was young, and how much I hate you now

Yan Chen was silent.

Su Jiu's pretty face was cold, and he got up and walked out of the carriage, "I want to go back to Jingcheng."

Yan Zhen grabbed her wide sleeves, and the girl was caught off guard by him and pulled into his arms. Before she could speak, she got her acupuncture points pressed.

"Xiaojiu, to undo that curse, you need to enter the Wandu Cave in Tianshui County. Only the palm prints of the Nanjiang royal family can open the entrance to the Wandu Cave. So I'm sorry, but you have to go to Tianshui with us. After that, you can do whatever you want." Can."

Yan Zhen carefully placed her on the soft couch, and covered her with a blanket.

Tucking in the blanket, he left the carriage with a gloomy expression.

Su Jiu lay alone in the carriage, taking a deep breath while closing his eyes.

But he found that no matter how he eased his emotions, he still couldn't calm down the anger in his chest.

……

ten days later.

After starry night and long journey, the convoy finally arrived in Tianshui.

Su Jiu was helped out of the carriage by Yan Zhen. She looked around, but saw the wilderness here, the ancient and dilapidated city standing at the end of the official road, the city walls were covered with cracks of time, and there were only a handful of people coming and going, all of them looked yellow and emaciated.

Even though it was noon, the sky was pale red, like a layer of blood mist.

The surrounding plants had strange postures, all of which she couldn't name.

A little girl dressed in rags passed by carrying a bucket, looking at Su Jiu with envy.

Su Jiu held out his hand to her hesitantly, but she ran away in fear.

The cold wind blew up the corners of her thin skirt, and Su Jiu saw that her calves were as slender as sticks, and they were covered in bruises from falls.

"Tianshui County occupies one-third of southern Xinjiang, but it is also the poorest place in southern Xinjiang." Yan Zhen's voice was mixed in the wind and sand, and some couldn't hear it clearly, "Xiaojiu came to southern Xinjiang for a year, but I never You have never been allowed out of the capital. I am afraid that you will see the disrepair of this country, and I am even more afraid that you will despise this land."

In the southernmost part of the country, even the oncoming wind is full of warmth.

Su Jiu untied the cloak and handed it to the maid, then bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground.

It is black soil, which is quite fertile in the Central Plains.

"Although I didn't grow up on this land, the blood of southern Xinjiang flows in my body." She said softly, "Yan Zhen, the land here is flat and fertile, so it should be very suitable for growing crops, even if there are tens of millions of people. It can be fed. But why do I see large areas of desolation? Is it because the people are unwilling to farm the land?"

"Crops?"

A cold and hoarse voice sounded slowly.

Pei Qingcheng casually walked over with the birdcage in hand, and looked at the surrounding fields with amused expression, "Your Majesty thinks this piece of land can be used for growing crops? Look at the handful of soil you grabbed."

Su Jiu looked down.

A handful of soil was lying on the white and tender palm, and after a while, tiny arthropods suddenly emerged from the soil, looking very ugly and terrifying.

"This is..." Su Jiu frowned, "Gu worms that specialize in eating grain roots?"

"Yes. Poison breeds a hundred Gu, and a hundred Gu breeds insects. Our ancestors did a lot of evil back then. For a period of time, they specialized in the study of various poisons, and they did not restrain themselves to conduct experiments in every place. As a result, many places in southern Xinjiang are barren and extremely dangerous." There was a trace of hatred in Pei Qingcheng's eyes, "It is also because of him that our descendants have not been able to take half a step in southern Xinjiang."

Su Jiu was silent.

She stared at the palm, then slowly sprinkled the soil with Gu worms into the wind.

Nangong Nana sat cross-legged in the birdcage, resting her chin on her hands in boredom, "After all, you are still incompetent! If you are really powerful, how could you not be able to cure little Gu worms? Pei Qingcheng, I really look down on you more and more. "

"What do I want you to think of?" The man has long been used to this girl's sharp teeth, "You are a canary raised by this king, and it is very comfortable to listen to this king once in a while. As for the attitude, this king I really don't care."

"Damn things!"

Nangong Nana couldn't help cursing.

"Let's go into the city." Yan Zhen urged, "The equipment for entering Wandu Cave is not ready yet, we must hurry up."

Nangong Nana is not a quiet person, holding a bag of melon seeds, throwing the shells of melon seeds at Su Jiu while eating, "To tell you the truth, all your efforts are wasted now. Who is Brother Huaijin? You are all because of Su Jiu!" The wine angered him, so it’s no wonder he can tell you to leave Southern Border alive! Listen to me, eat and drink early, and enjoy the last time to be serious!”

She was kept in the birdcage for a long time, and her temper grew worse and worse, and her mouth became more and more bitter.

Pei Qingcheng took it for granted, but the group of princes and kings couldn't bear her.

Leaving Southern Xinjiang and going outside is their dream for generations. Nangong saying this is tantamount to insulting their efforts for generations. It is strange that they can let her go.

Tao Shiniang played with the poisonous insect, stared at the birdcage and sneered, "The empress of Xichan Kingdom has nothing special, but a mouth is very powerful... Rather than keep it and keep screaming, I will tear your mouth to pieces!"

The long, slender white nails suddenly attacked the birdcage!

Pei Qingcheng avoided it calmly.

The smell of blood lingered around him, and his voice became even hoarse and deep: "Anyone who wants to die can tell this king directly."

The tone of each word is full of deterrence.

His strength is considered top among the princes and kings, Tao Shiniang and the others looked at each other, but they did not dare to contradict him.

Nangong Nana laughed triumphantly, and threw the melon seed shells even more happily, "Tear it, why don't you dare to tear it up?! A group of young people are no match for brother Huaijin at all! If I had acted in my way, let alone live Leaving Nanjiang, it is not a problem to capture Brother Huaijin alive! Blame Su Jiu, blame Yan Zhen, blame you for not listening to me! A group of rats and bugs who can’t see the light, I wish you all die in Nanjiang for generations to come! Jiang this bloody place!"

The girl blamed the anger of being imprisoned on all the people in southern Xinjiang.

After she finished cursing, the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

Su Jiu lowered his eyes, looking at the melon seed shells sticking to his skirt.

She quietly clenched her thin white hands, but in the blink of an eye, she suddenly pulled out Yan Zhen's saber and stabbed straight at the bird cage!

No one expected that she would make a sudden move.

Even Pei Qingcheng was stunned by Nangong Nana's scolding, he didn't notice it for a while, and he didn't even have time to dodge!
Nangong Nana didn't expect that Su Jiu would dare to make a move, and she fell down in the cage, staring in amazement at the sharp blade that was close at hand.

The sharp tip of the knife gleamed with a cold light, and it stopped less than an inch from the center of her eyebrows.

Su Jiu's face was cold, "As much as I liked you when I was young, I hate you now. Nangong, don't challenge my endurance anymore. It is Pei Qingcheng who locked you up, not us. Everyone has seen you." The power of light, although my princes and kings have committed many evils, they will be judged by the law, and it is not your turn to insult them, an outsider from the Xichan Kingdom!"

She put the long knife back into the sheath, and stepped into the carriage with a cold face.

A group of princes and kings looked at each other in blank dismay.
