Yutai Bi

Chapter 70 Guards
"Sanniang!" After getting ashore, Kong Qing saw the fire in the corner of the wall base and Cen Sanniang poking her head out.His voice suddenly became joyful, and his body was suddenly full of strength.He ran towards her without thinking.

"You're really back." Cen Sanniang murmured, she couldn't believe her eyes.

He unexpectedly appeared when she needed company most, Cen Sanniang called him excitedly, her throat choked.Now that Kong Qing is here, she doesn't have to be afraid that she will be alone on this sandbar, and she doesn't have to be afraid to find out whether her people are good or bad.

Kong Qing rushed to her like a gust of wind, and hugged her into her arms regardless: "You're still alive, you're still alive..."

He hugged him so tightly, his chest was filled with heat, so warm that Cen Sanniang had the strength to cry loudly, she pushed him, punched him full of grievances: "Where did you go, I was almost burned to death, How could you leave me here alone?"

"I'm back." Tears welled up on Kong Qing's face, with a happy smile on his mouth: "God treats me well, I swear that unless my limbs are cut off so that I can't follow, I will never leave you again. "

Cen Sanniang sobbed, and smiled: "There is no need to swear such a vicious oath. I was very calm when the fire broke out. I was a little scared when I hid in the water. I didn't even burn a hair. By the way, King Teng found it." It’s very strange, after seeing the sword, he said to withdraw his troops, and said that you and I would not exist in the future. Then he threw your sword into the lake. Kong Qing, what’s going on? "

"Sword?" Kong Qing was stunned, looked at Cen Sanniang's face like a cat, and smiled, "That's fine. If the prince doesn't pursue it, you will be free. I will accompany you wherever you want to go in the future."

The more Cen Sanniang heard, the more something was wrong. The rapid development of the relationship between her and him made her a little uncomfortable. It seems that she and him are not so ambiguous, right?
"Kong Qing, you have a lot of things to hide from me. Why did you betray him and take care of me?"

"Because..." Kong Qing hissed and took a breath, her legs suddenly softened and she sat on the ground.He smiled wryly, "Can you do me a favor? Help me pull out...the back."

Cen Sanniang knelt down and looked behind him.Under the moonlight, there are a few lights flickering behind Kong Qing.She stretched out her finger and touched it, it was firm.Looking carefully, it looks like a woman's head of flowers, two in total, on his vest.

He was injured, and he didn't even have time to draw a hidden weapon. Where did he go to find out the news?Cen Sanniang thought to herself, pinched a flower tin and pulled it out forcefully.

Kong Qing's body trembled, and woke up in pain: "Okay, that's it, there is one more."

The flower tin is made of silver, about seven centimeters long, and only the head of the hairpin is exposed when it is inserted on his back.Cen Sanniang felt pain just thinking about it, and couldn't help asking him, "Why didn't you pull it out?"

"I'm in a hurry to come back, I don't have time. Fortunately, there is no poison." Kong Qing gritted his teeth, and only then did he feel his hands and feet go limp.For two consecutive days, he rowed the boat back and forth, exhausted, but had no time to stop.

When he finally rowed close to the water again, he saw only dots of embers and lingering smoke.With the last of his strength he rowed the boat here and found her.

The second flower tin was pulled out.Kong Qing couldn't bear it any longer, pointed to the boat floating on the shore and said, "The boat is not tied, but there are medicines on board."

Cen Sanniang saw that the boat had floated out, she hurriedly said: "You rest."

When she fastened the boat and took out the wound medicine and clothes from the boat and returned to the sandbar, Kong Qing had already closed her eyes tightly and passed out.

She struggled to take off his clothes, and a box fell out of his arms.Cen Sanniang recognized her jewelry box at a glance.Has he returned to Bieyuan?She thought of what Kongqing said before leaving.To reassure her, he went to save Nanny and Baicao.

At this time, she saw his hand.The palm was worn out, red and swollen with bloodshot eyes.Pushing the boat from here to Hongzhou Bieyuan, and then pushing the boat back... Even if you are a martial arts practitioner, how much physical strength can you consume like this?He is working hard for himself.

Cen Sanniang's eyes immediately became moist.

On Kong Qing's bare back, blood was bubbling from two blood holes, and there was a blurred mark on the shoulder blade.Cen Sanniang picked up a bottle, recognized the word "Jinchuang", twisted the cap and sprinkled all the water on the wound.Kong Qing was too heavy, she couldn't help him up, she could only take a piece of clothes and tear it to cover his wound.

Sitting beside him, she caught sight of the mark on his shoulder blade.With a clever mind, he pulled the small key from his neck and opened the box.

"The gold and silver balls are distracting." Cen Sanniang picked it up and looked at it, then put it on the mark, and was stunned for a moment.This group of imprints was obviously made by this hairpin.what is this?The reality version of Meihualuo?
Danhua knelt in front of King Teng, his face pale and anxious.

Besides her, there were four other people kneeling in the hall.These people, she and Kong Qing were all selected into Prince Teng's mansion when they were around ten years old, and learned art from their masters, and became Prince Teng's personal servants.I have only accepted one point of view in my mind since I was a child: to protect the Lord loyally, even if I sacrifice my life.

The six of them are the most trusted people of King Teng, and Kong Qing's defection means that everyone is suspected of betraying the Lord.

King Teng watched them silently.He remembered that when he was 13 years old, he was conferred the title of prince by his elder brother who was the emperor.Several nephews were one or two years old, and when they were three or four years old, they were crowned princes and princes. They were not much different in age from him. The nephew who is now the emperor is only two years younger than him.Named uncle and nephew, but the crown prince is six years older than him, and in private he is more like an elder brother taking care of him.At that time, he had the best friendship with the deposed prince, and he didn't like to play with the mild-tempered sheep-like Imagami the least.

It was also the year when he became the king, and he and Jinshang, who was still the king of Jin, chose his personal servants.Twenty children around ten years old stood in front of them.He is an elder, and King Jin asked him to choose first.

There is a lotus pond on one side of the martial arts field.He jumped down and soaked in the water to watch the twenty children who looked at each other.Kong Qing was the first to jump off, followed by five more.He chose them.You didn't even ask why you jumped down.

He remembered that Imamami gently said to the remaining children: "The emperor chose six, and I can't surpass the elders, so I only choose five." miserable child.

Perhaps, no matter who he chooses, there will always be someone like Kong Qing who has a mission on his shoulders.Perhaps, apart from Kong Qing, among the people kneeling in front of them are those who were ordered by the emperor's brother.

His elder brother seized the throne from the eldest brother of the prince by relying on the Xuanwumen Incident.His nephew finally became emperor because of the rivalry between his two elder brothers.The most taboo people in the emperor's family will never be foreign powers like Turks and Tubo, but brothers of flesh and blood.

King Teng was in a slump.

He thought of the sword he threw into the lake, and Yuan Tiangang's order.He chose to let Cen Sanniang go temporarily.He believes that only by letting an eagle fly high, will she become the destined noble person who can ward off disasters and resolve dangers for herself in the future.

"Kongqing can't pass the beauty pass. For the sake of his loyal service to the king for many years, the king let him live and allowed him to take Cen Sanniang away. Whoever you fancy in the future, it doesn't matter if she is the king. My concubine Ji is still the daughter of a court official whom this king hates, as long as I tell the truth, this king will fulfill it." Teng Wang said lightly.

Was it because Kong Qing took a fancy to Cen Sanniang that she eloped with her master?He even ventured back to pick up her nanny and girl for Cen Sanniang.Danhua yelled a series of no words in his heart.She doesn't believe it.

King Teng glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "Tell the Cen family that Cen Sanniang fell into the river and died after drinking. Kong Qing loyally entered the water to save her, but died in the river. I promise them kindness, maybe you. This matter is over. Don't spread half a word."

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!" Dan Hua dejectedly kowtowed along with everyone.

King Teng waved them away, walked out of the hall, saw the white wall Wuwa covered by the woods from a distance, thought for a while, and walked over.

At the beginning of September and autumn, the wind is as soft as a layer of gauze.

The flowers in the yard are still blooming lively, but the leaves of the trees are not withered.

The sound of flowers blooming can be heard quietly in Princess Teng's courtyard.

A faint scent of sandalwood floated in the air, and King Teng hated such a scent.

The beautiful and noble peony is hard to buy a treasure.King Teng didn't like it.In his heart, Princess Teng is like that precious peony, because of its beauty and nobility, it can only be carefully enshrined when it is bought home, and it makes people sigh when it is held out, but it cannot be picked off and trampled in the palm of its hand.I've been watching it for a long time, but it's just a decoration.

He prefers to smell the scent of saponins in Cen Sanniang's hair, and prefers to smell like wild chrysanthemums blooming all over the mountains and plains in autumn.Let him lie wantonly among the flowers.Make a roll, not afraid of crushing the petals.

The maids in the queen's courtyard are like wooden sculptures.No matter when King Teng saw them, they always lowered their heads slightly, and that posture often made him wonder if their necks were tired?
Danhua is the female officer in charge of the inner court.She personally lifted the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang and led King Teng in.

Concubine Teng practiced in the quiet room and did not get up to greet her.

King Teng watched her sitting on the futon, wearing a one-piece dress made of ramie, her expression was as inviolable as a white lotus flower.He pointed to the two maids beside her and said, "Go out."

Princess Teng's eyelids moved, she waved her hand gracefully, and the maid bowed and left the quiet room.

King Teng walked over, sat down on the blue brick floor in front of the princess, raised her chin like a rascal, and smiled brightly: "Among the many concubines in this king, only the princess looks the most attractive at this moment." .”
