The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 243

After a while, she suppressed the smile on her face and continued: "He made a bet with me. He gave me a chance to assassinate him once a day, but I won't be able to kill him in my lifetime. Sneering, I don't believe that Mu Piaoyu, who is full of blood, would be so leisurely to bet with a little girl like me. But he really gave me a chance to assassinate him once a day, but I haven't succeeded in assassinating him for three years in a row, because My kung fu is too weak, and if I poison him, I will have no chance. Gradually, my patience has been worn out, and even many days I thought of assassinating him once. I was more in the general's residence waiting for him to return. "

"Over the years, I have always known that there is a person living in his heart. There are many portraits of her in the study. Mu Piaoyu told me that this person is Li Mei. Li Mei used to be his fiancée in Yan Country, but he took The soldiers destroyed the country of Yan and killed her father with her own hands. All these years, she has been thinking of revenge against him, and even wanted his life." Gu Ling said that she was here, and the smile on her face was no longer there. She laughed at herself: "That's when I realized why Mu Piaoyu suddenly wanted to make this bet with me."

"Is my experience similar to yours?" Gu Ling asked her.

But Xia Lanyue remained silent for a while, letting the sound of horseshoes break the tranquility of the wilderness.

They ran on the road for three days and three nights before they arrived in Jiangzhou. They got out of the carriage at the foot of a mountain. Gu Ling looked at the high green hill and said in a low voice: "After he and I escaped from the emperor's pursuit, So he hid all the way to Kongling Temple in Jiangzhou to recover from his injuries. After recovering from his injuries, he refused to leave. He insisted on staying in Kongling Temple for the rest of his life. I have never seen such a desireless look in his eyes. Look, I can't take him away, so I thought of going to the capital to guard you, I firmly believe that you will come out to find him, and now, only you can persuade him to go down the mountain."

They walked all the way up the mountain, and the cold wind in late autumn still cut people's faces with pain. Xia Lanyue asked, "Is he still injured? Is it serious?"

Gu Ling's eyes darkened: "In order to save me, he was burned by the falling fire pillar...he was seriously injured."

Xia Lanyue didn't speak any more, she just quickened her walking pace, her heart was full of guilt, and she had nowhere to vent, the only way to feel at ease was to be able to climb the mountain as soon as possible and see Mu Piaoyu.
-
It took about half an hour before they climbed to the top of the mountain out of breath. The wind on the top of the mountain was bleak and the red leaves were rustling.

The gate of Kongling Temple was closed tightly, and there were fallen leaves all over the ground outside the temple, but Xia Lanyue stood outside the gate and did not move for a long time.

Gu Ling and Qiu Bi looked at the sudden hesitation and complexity on her face, and they didn't rush, but just stood quietly aside.

The wind was cold, and Xia Lanyue stared at the closed temple door for a long time before taking a few steps forward and knocking on the temple door.

After a long while, a young monk opened the gate of the temple. When he saw someone standing outside the gate, he was a little surprised and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with the benefactor?"

"I'm here to find someone." Xia Lanyue replied.

"May I ask who the benefactor is looking for?"

"His name is... Mu Piaoyu."

"There is no such person in the Kongling Temple. The benefactor must have found the wrong place." The little monk said calmly, and was about to close the door and leave, but Xia Lanyue held the door of the temple with all her strength, and said anxiously: "He was imprisoned three months ago." Injured and recuperated here."

The little monk was stunned for a while, thinking about it for a long time, and then said: "It turns out that the female benefactor is looking for Niankong, please come with me."

Qiu Bi, who was waiting at the side, wanted to follow Xia Lanyue when she saw Xia Lanyue walking into the temple gate, but was stopped by Gu Ling, she said: "Give them a space to be alone, we are all outsiders."

Qiu Bi stopped her pace, looked back at the loneliness in Gu Ling's eyes, then walked back and waited with her.

After Xia Lanyue entered the Kongling Temple, she found that the temple was simple and incomplete. It seemed that this place was a lonely and deserted temple. The temple was not big, and there were not many monks. I want to live here forever.
