Linglong

Chapter 145

Chu Guogong comforted him, "Sanlang, it's okay to find the treasure, at worst, after you return to Beijing, you can slowly coax your princess."

King Zhou's face darkened, "She said that offering the treasure to His Majesty is enough to show her position. With the treasure, the Yu family and the Qiao family are already safe, so there is no need for me!"

Chu Guogong was very surprised, "So, does she mean that she will separate from you in the future? Sanlang, it is common for young couples to quarrel, so don't take it too seriously. The princess is still young, and the child has a temper. Make up your mind to coax her, and she will change her mind." Seeing that King Zhou was very upset, he felt sympathy and pity, so he couldn't help but use words to comfort him.

The king of Zhou was not angry, "I planned well. I stopped and stopped to hunt for treasure while slowly coaxing her. When I coax her well, whether the treasure is found or not, I can set off to return to Beijing. Knowing that Chang Na is troubled, he brought two grave robbers!"

——It was quite an annoying thing at first, but after listening to Zhou Wangcai's words, for some reason, Chu Guogong found it funny again.

Saburo, do you have such childish and ridiculous moments?

You haven't been so childish for years.

"'One hundred years of cultivation can cross the same boat, one thousand years of cultivation can sleep together', it is a rare fate to be a husband and wife, how can they separate when they say they are separated?" Chu Guogong made a solemn appearance, and said solemnly: "Originally It's not up to uncle to take care of you and your concubine's affairs, but now that we are away from home, your majesty and the queen are far away in the capital, don't worry, uncle will not stand idly by as an elder, and will definitely persuade you with good words so that the concubine will be relieved Shouldn't have thought."

King Zhou reluctantly glanced at him, his face troubled, "Auntie is very knowledgeable and considerate, if she is here, I can persuade Linglong. Uncle, forget it, you are more careless than me, who knows what Linglong is thinking ?”

Chu Guogong touched his nose and was speechless.

After discovering where the treasure was hidden, the Duke of Chu remained calm and did not immediately order someone to dig it out.

According to rumors, the riches in this treasure are astonishing.If it is true, then you should be extra cautious when taking out the treasure, and you can't do it arbitrarily.

After King Qin arrived with a team of guards, Duke Chu ordered someone to blow up the exit.

A wide road appeared in front of everyone.

King Qin and Chang Qian guarded the exit, while Duke Chu walked in with King Zhou, Linglong, Chang Jin, Chang Na and others.

"Wow—" Linglong was stunned.

Chu Guogong and Zhou Wang and others also felt dazzled.

Buddha statues, lions, tigers and leopards made of gold glisten in the dark, inlaid with precious gemstones of various colors, row by row, with no end in sight.

There are many black boxes pushed next to them. When you open them, you can see Cuiyu Mingpan, Yaozan Baoer, Yuxiao Jinguan, Ancient Jade Zijin, Yeming Pearl, Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond, Cat’s Eye, Emerald, and all kinds of strange things. Treasures are innumerable.

However, beside the box and beside the golden statue, there are many skeletons lying around, which looks shocking.

A group of people once entered here, but did not go out, and died here.

People die for money.

"Don't be afraid." King Zhou took Linglong's hand.

His palm was strong and warm, Linglong was inexplicably relieved.

A group of people walked forward slowly.

Among the many golden statues, there is a statue of a woman that is particularly conspicuous.As tall as a real person, with a lifelike face and brilliant brilliance.

Linglong's gaze stayed on the golden statue.

King Zhou was moved, "This golden statue is somewhat similar to you."

The left side of the golden statue is empty, and the wooden box on the right is also a pile of bones—different from the previous bones, this pile of bones is much smaller.

Tears blurred Linglong's eyes.

Beside the skeleton lay a scroll-like thing.

Zhou Wang also guessed the identity of this person, and together with Linglong bowed four times in front of the skeleton, and opened the scroll for her, "I'll read it with you."

"What is it?" Duke Chu asked in a deep voice.

King Zhou said briefly, "It's Aunt Xuan's suicide note." Thinking that his uncle didn't know who Aunt Xuan was, he added, "It's King Chen's queen." Duke Chu nodded, "So that's how it is."

Chang Na was curious and wanted to go over to have a look, but was held back by Chang Jin.

Chang Na looked over dissatisfied, Chang Jin shook his head at him, motioning him not to look.

"What did it say?" Chang Na still couldn't hold back, and asked curiously.

Linglong whispered: "This is my grandmother's suicide note, I'll read it out, let's listen to it together."

"My surname is Lin. My parents both died of illness when I was three years old. Before my death, I was handed over to my close friend Qiao Gong to raise me. After that, my surname was Qiao. My adoptive father and adoptive mother named me Xuan, and my nickname was Wangyou. Treat me Like your own daughter, raise me until I am 15 years old."

Linglong seemed to see the face of Mrs. Qiao before she died, and her nose couldn't help but sore.No wonder he looked at me longingly before he died, and called me "Wangyou" inarticulately. What he thought of at that time was not me, but Aunt Xuan.

Everyone's eyes fell on Linglong. Linglong settled down and continued to read:

"The adoptive father was an official in Guzhou at that time, the world was in chaos, and the rebel army was everywhere. The adoptive father had no intention of loving the post and planned to resign and return to his hometown. Unfortunately, the adoptive father and adoptive mother died of illness on the way, and my adoptive brother and sister-in-law were killed by Chen Wang. I was taken captive by the soldiers, and after many twists and turns, I was dedicated to the king of Chen, and I was separated from my righteous brother and sister-in-law."

"When I was brought in front of King Chen, I saw the astonishment in his eyes. I was born beautiful, and I know that, but I also know that King Chen is very charming, and there are many favorites in the mansion. If I If you follow him casually, no matter how good-looking you are, you will be just one of his many concubines in the end, just muddle through and live on. Rather than doing this, I would rather die! I told him that I am an innocent woman, You can either kill me, or hire me as a wife, and let me commit myself to you without a name or status, don't even think about it."

"King Chen was angry at first, and then he laughed, 'Anyway, my wife died early, and I have never made a queen, so I hired you!' He made me queen, and he loved me very much."

"He asked me if I had any family members. I told him that my parents were dead and I had no family members. He sighed for me, 'Queen, you are also a poor person.'"

"Although I have become the queen of King Chen, the situation is so chaotic. King Chen may become the overlord and emperor in a few years, and he may be defeated one day and become a prisoner and a traitor. If one day he wins the world , My love is still there, I have thousands of ways to make my righteous brother and righteous sister-in-law gain glory and wealth, but now the future is uncertain and the future is unknown, why should I involve my righteous brother and righteous sister-in-law at this time."

"I secretly inquired about the whereabouts of my righteous brother and sister-in-law, and rescued them. My righteous brother treated me like my own sister, and was reluctant to let me stay in Chen Wang to suffer——Chen Wang has a violent temper, and it is not easy to make a living by his side. A companion is like a tiger—but it is not difficult for the righteous brother and sister-in-law to escape. It is a daydream for my queen to want to fly like a bird in the sky. I persuaded him repeatedly, and the righteous brother and righteous sister-in-law left with tears in their eyes and returned to their hometown. .”

"Soon afterward, King Chen was defeated. When the city was broken, he knew that the situation was over. He drove his concubines into the sea, but he refused to let me go. I took his hand and put it on my belly, and told him tenderly that I have His child, I am not afraid of death, but I want the child to survive, I want his child to survive. He smiled, and he said, the child you give birth must be as smart and lovely as you, how can I be willing to let him die What? Queen, you go, no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, you have to raise him well, and when he grows up, tell him who his father is and who killed his father, and let him avenge his father !"

"He gave me a hairpin, several boxes of jewels, and twenty guards, and let me leave by boat."

"Shortly after, King Chen was captured by King Wu and beheaded for public display. King Wu became emperor and unified the world."

"And I turned out to be really pregnant. I vomited all day long at sea. At the time I thought it was seasickness. Later, I asked a doctor to see me and found out that I was three months pregnant. Hehe, I didn't know it at the time, just I don't want to die with Chen Wang's concubines for no reason, who knows that it's a crooked attack."

"I was plundered by the rebel army and dedicated to King Chen. I never regarded King Chen as my husband, but when I knew that I had a child in my womb, I loved this child from the bottom of my heart. Since I had her, my My heart is extraordinarily soft, and when I think of her, I feel as gentle as water."

"The guards that King Chen left for me were very loyal and loyal to him. When King Chen was beheaded, they wept bitterly and swore to God that they would avenge King Chen. Every time they mentioned my unborn child, they all spoke in the same tone. , 'In the future, the little master will avenge the king, and he must take the head of the king of Wu and pay homage to the king!'”

"At that time, King Wu's military power was already unstoppable, and he was about to unify the world. Why did I let my unborn child go through life and death with this group of people, so that there would be no peace? No, I don't want my child to be born with blood and blood. I was born with bitterness and deep hatred, and spent my life in the bloody wind!"

"I want to get rid of these people, but they won't let me go. They can only use force. There are [-] of them, all of them are masters, but I have no strength to restrain a chicken, and I am pregnant. I want to get rid of me." To get rid of them, the only way is to outsmart them. At first I thought of using poison, but after I had this idea, King Wu has ascended the throne and ordered to hunt down all the remaining parties of King Chen. We were met by soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Fighting bravely, five died and seven or eight were injured. I can't bear it anymore, although they are not for me, they are for King Chen, but they want to protect me wholeheartedly."

"At this time, Chen Qingfeng came. Chen Qingfeng is a general under Chen Wang's command. Chen Sa, the concubine's son, was actually his son. King Chen was furious and wanted to execute Chen Qingfeng, Concubine Liang, and Chen Sa together. It was I who came forward to protect these three people. After finding out the truth, I returned Chen Qingfeng and Liang Concubine. The innocence of my concubine. Chen Qingfeng is grateful for my life-saving grace. After the defeat of King Chen, he did not die, but escaped secretly, looking for my traces. Originally, he had no clue. I have a meeting."

"Chen Qingfeng is different from those guards. He is grateful to me. In his mind, I am more important than Chen Wang. I know his talent and strategy, and I believe in his character, so I told him the truth. I told him , I am just a kidnapped woman. Although King Chen made me his queen, I have no love for him. I don't want to avenge King Chen. I just want to live a peaceful life with my children. Qingfeng Chen didn't hesitate at all. , he said, since the queen has this wish, she will definitely fulfill it for you in the end."

"He couldn't bear to kill those nurses with his own hands, so he stunned them and took me out. He ordered someone to send me away first, and he caught up after a long time. He smiled and said to me, don't worry, those people Okay, but, they saw a charred body and thought I was dead."

"He sent me back to my hometown. After returning, I advised him not to pay attention to the grievances and grievances in the Central Plains. He went to the desert, herded sheep and horses, and was at ease. He was just silent. It was very normal for me to drive a car quietly. I left the inn in the black painted car without saying goodbye to him, I walked around the city for a long time, and returned to Qiao's house when it was getting dark."

"Brother Yi was very happy to see me, but I didn't see sister-in-law Yi. When asked, Brother Yi was frowning, 'She is pregnant, but the pregnancy is not good. The doctor said, the child may not be able to keep it.' I was scared As soon as I jumped, I went in with Brother Yi to visit Yisao. Yisao's face was pale, and she was surprised and happy to see me, "Wangyou, I never thought I would see you again in this life! I heard that Chen Wang Fuzhu, your brother and I Worrying day and night!' Her face was flushed, and I sat by the bed, holding her hand and talking, relatively sighing."

"I'm pregnant with King Chen's child, so I don't want to hurt my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, but brother-in-law doesn't allow it, and sister-in-law doesn't allow it. She said, 'When you become a queen, if you mention your brother-in-law, no one can say you are wrong. But if that's the case, our whole family would have been wiped out! Wangyou, the family doesn't speak two different languages. You grew up in Qiao's family. This is your home. You stay here. Fortunately, I'm pregnant too. This child... ..." She clutched her stomach, looking sad, "If you are lucky enough to give birth, we will tell the outside world that you have twins. If you can't give birth, your child will be my child." The righteous brother also said that's right, close brothers and sisters No outsiders are allowed. I thought about it carefully, and the guards thought I was dead, and Chen Qingfeng would not betray me, and Chen Qingfeng didn't know that I was the adopted daughter of the Qiao family. No one in the world would know that I, Queen Chen, would be in the Qiao family. , and agreed."

"Sister-in-law Yi didn't keep her child. She had a miscarriage. Afterwards, she stayed in bed and recuperated, but she only said that she was raising a baby. Brother Yi ordered people to cook anti-fetal medicine every day, and went out every day to buy food that pregnant women like to eat. He took good care of me. Well, before you know it, it's time to give birth. Yisao has given birth to nephews and nieces, but this is the first time for me to give birth. Yisao was afraid that people would see her flaws if she called the midwife, so she struggled to get out of bed and delivered the baby for me in person. Fortunately, Atao is very obedient, he didn't make much trouble, and came to this world happily."

"A Tao was very young when she was born, really small, very delicate, and very cute. I looked at her with my righteous brother and sister-in-law, and shed tears. Such a child, how could we be willing to let her be Chen Wang's widow?" A belly girl, wandering the rivers and lakes with Chen Wang Yudang, fighting and killing all her life? She is a girl, Chen Wang Yudang will not treat her as a master, listen to her orders, at most respect her as a princess. But, Why does my Atao have to go through many hardships as King Chen's princess, she grew up in Qiao's house safely, and I can make her a rich and happy princess!"

"Not long after A Tao was born, Yi's sister-in-law was lingering and sick for a long time. After all, she still couldn't get over it and went away. Brother Yi was very sad and decided not to continue the string. I persuaded him, but he insisted on refusing, 'If you marry someone who is not good, Ah Qi and Ah Rou suffered setbacks for nothing, not to mention A Tao.' That’s right, A Tao’s life experience is secret. If the brother-in-law is reborn, if this secret is discovered, it will be a disaster for the family to be wiped out. But he comforted me, 'Sister, it's not easy for us to survive in troubled times. My brother has sons and daughters now, so what is there to complain about?'"

"Atao is cute and cute. When I was 16 years old, I betrothed her to Shishilang. After marriage, Atao gave birth to two grandchildren. The childhood was sweet and happy. I often visit her, coax the grandson, hug her The little grandson had a great time. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Eleven Lang and his younger brother were trapped in the cottage together! I went to visit Atao, and A Tao asked me with a haggard look, 'Aunt Xuan, will Eleven Lang be safe and sound. Will you come back, will you?" Looking at her expectant, fearful and sad eyes, I smiled softly, and I told her, "Don't worry, Eleven Langji people have their own celestial features, and they will be safe Come back!' Atao's eyes were filled with joy and radiance, I hugged her and kissed her, bid her farewell as usual, and went to the cottage."

When Linglong read this, tears flowed down her cheeks, and she couldn't read any more.

The King of Zhou took the scroll and read it for her, and briefly told the Duke of Chu, "After Aunt Xuan arrived at the village, her identity was exposed, but my father-in-law and brother were safe and released down the mountain. The village was divided into two groups, one group of people It is Chen Zhang, the eldest son of King Chen, who is determined to hunt for treasure. The other group is Chen Sa, the son of King Chen, who is the son of Concubine Liang who was saved by Aunt Xuan. He is willing to obey Aunt Xuan's orders. Opponent, in the end, Aunt Xuan took Chen Zhang and his party to hunt for treasure, and ordered Chen Sa to stay and take care of his half-sister in secret."

Duke Chu was silent.

This Queen Chen is also considered a hero among women. In order to protect her daughter, she will go through life and death, regardless of her own life.With a mother like her, Qiao Sitao, as the posthumous daughter of King Chen, has been a young lady of the Qiao family for 16 years and a daughter-in-law of the Yu family for more than 20 years. She still doesn't know her life experience until now.

King Zhou looked at it again and said, "This suicide note was written by Aunt Xuan before she entered the tomb. She wanted to trick Chen Zhang and his party into the tomb and escape by herself, but she was found when she put down the tomb door. When I came back, I died with Chen Zhang in the tomb. The writing at the bottom was written with my finger dipped in blood, and it is already difficult to read."

Linglong cried even more sadly.

King Zhou carefully embraced Linglong's waist, "You are crying so much, can I help you?" Seeing Linglong's tears streaming down like pearls with broken strings, King Zhou felt sad and said softly: " Don't cry anymore, Aunt Xuan has a soul in the sky, and she doesn't want you to be so sad."

After crying bitterly, Linglong took off her cloak and wrapped up Aunt Xuan's bones. King Zhou put his cloak on Linglong silently, put away Aunt Xuan's bones respectfully, lit a fire outside, cremated it, and put it away In the jar.

King Qin and Chang Qian sighed a lot when they knew about these past events.

The King of Qin comforted Linglong in a warm voice, "Sisters and sisters, with Aunt Xuan's suicide note, His Majesty will find out. You and your aunt don't know about your own life experience, and those who don't know are innocent." Linglong held Aunt Xuan's ashes jar and wept, silently Speechless.

Qin Wang and Chu Guogong took the guards in to ship the treasure, Zhou Wang didn't care about other things, and stayed by her side.

Linglong stared at Aunt Xuan's ashes in a daze, while King Zhou sat beside her, holding Aunt Xuan's suicide note in his hand.

If Uncle Yu's words are just words without evidence, this suicide note can really prove that Linglong didn't know about it and never deliberately deceived her, it's so important.

King Zhou couldn't help himself, he opened the suicide note and read it from the beginning.

He wanted to memorize this suicide note word by word, so that he could defend Linglong when he met the emperor.

The handwriting on the back was very unclear, King Zhou carefully deciphered it under the sunlight, "There are organs in the tomb, I broke many, but it's too late..."

King Zhou jumped up and said sharply: "Quickly, call His Royal Highness King Qin and Duke Guo out, quickly!"

The guards on the side were puzzled, agreed, and quickly ran towards the tomb.

The king of Zhou thought that the guards were running slowly, so he hurriedly told Linglong, "I'll go in and have a look, there are traps inside!" After speaking, he flew out like an arrow!

It was already too late, King Qin and Chu Guogong and their party did not know who touched the mechanism in the tomb, and tens of thousands of arrow feathers shot out!Everyone held up their swords to resist, and several guards were hit by arrows, and they died on the spot. Chang Na was hit by two arrows. Duke Chu and Chang Jin stood in front of King Qin, waving their long swords to push away the arrow feathers, but in the end, King Qin also He was not completely spared, and his arm was scratched by a sharp arrow!

"Damn it, the arrow is poisonous!" Chang Na fell to the ground, cursing in pain.

Chu Guogong stretched out his hand to push the arrow for him, and said in a deep voice, "Endure the pain!" Chang Na howled, "I can't bear this, it hurts too much!"

Holding the sword in his hand, Chang Jin hesitated, "Your Highness, the arrow is poisonous, or...or..." He wanted to cut off King Qin's arm to save his life, but the handsome King Qin finally didn't say anything. exit.

King Zhou rushed in and looked at his injured brother with great pain in his heart.He quickly took out the medicine bottle on his body, "This is a good antidote. Although it may not be right for the symptoms, it can be suppressed for a while." Feed King Qin and Chang Na the pills.

"Toxic, poisonous!" The guards exclaimed from the tomb.

Linglong was shocked, holding Aunt Xuan's ashes, and walked forward quickly.

Nothing can happen to anyone in the tomb, no matter whether it is the king of Qin or Chu Guogong, Chang Jin, Chang Na, nothing can happen to them!They came here for me, and their identities are special, either the prince or the queen's natal family, no matter which one has an accident, it will not work!
A white light flashed in front of her eyes, and a young man in snow-white fur appeared, looking at her with a smile.

This young man was tall and tall, with an elegant demeanor, he looked like a banished fairy.

It's an old acquaintance.
