Lord please be gentle

Chapter 68 Chapter 72
At noon, they had arrived in Lishan Mountain.Although this place is not yet within the scope of the forbidden area, it is already inaccessible.

The ancient green plants have a high coverage rate, even in the grand season, the pines and cypresses are very lush.But apart from the birds passing overhead, the occasional hare darting across the grass, and the cold wind blowing through the branches, there were no other sounds.

Everyone got off their horses, found a stream and started drinking the horses, and then lit a fire to cook.

Xiao Mei looked at the majestic Lishan Mountain, which rolled continuously and could not see the edge at a glance. She initially estimated that the mountain was at least a hundred miles in radius.I don't know where Jun Moxin will hide, let alone where Snow Bodhisattva lives.

"Here," Nangong Yu handed her a bowl of tea.

It's a little surprising that there is still tea to drink on the way of the urgent march, and the treatment is really good.Xiao Mei took the tea bowl unceremoniously, and uncovered the high-quality white porcelain tureen from the official cellar. Inside was the clear green dragon well from Ming Dynasty, and the roots bloomed at the bottom of the bowl like needlepoints.

Xiao Mei, who had a dry mouth, immediately drank the tea, wiped her mouth, and began to attack with a venomous tongue: "Hey, you are indeed the eldest son of the Nangong family. This son's habits can't be changed, and he will not forget it on the march. Put it on the table and enjoy. The tea bowl is set, and when you are on the road later, don’t run too fast, so as not to break it!"

Nangong Yu snatched the empty tea bowl angrily, and snorted coldly: "Feed the dog kindly!"

"You are the dog!" Xiao Mei raised her leg and kicked him.

Of course, Nangong Yu would not be kicked by her, and quickly dodged to dodge.Immediately she was furious: "Xiao Mei, don't be ignorant of good and evil."

From childhood to adulthood, as the eldest son of the Nangong family, the eldest son of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and the most beloved nephew of the noble concubine Nangong, he has received countless favors and is used to being admired by all the stars. He has never flattered anyone.For Xiao Mei, he broke many conventions.Even so, they didn't appreciate it at all, beat him when they should, scolded him when they should, and didn't take him seriously at all, let alone take him to heart.

She could only see Jun Moxin in her eyes, and only had Jun Moxin in her heart.The rest of the people are probably about the same in her eyes.Nangong Yu didn't even see the difference between her treatment of herself and Duguchen, which made him so proud that he couldn't swallow it.

However, he was not up to date, he just couldn't stand up in front of her, and he couldn't help but circle around her, even hating himself for being spineless.

With a dark and handsome face, Nangong Yu turned around angrily, ignored Xiao Mei, went to sit by the campfire alone, and ate wild game while roasting.

One hundred soldiers are all elites selected by the Dugu Army, so hunting is naturally a no-brainer.In addition, the ancient ecological resources have not been destroyed, and there are a lot of wild game in the forest.Although there were no big prey such as wild boar, roe deer, or deer at the edge of the forest, small prey such as hares, pheasants, and birds were almost easy to catch, and dozens of them were shot in a short while.

The fattest ones were selected from them, and after being dissected and washed, they were grilled on the busiest bonfire by a special person, and then the most crispy, fragrant and tender ones were selected and served in front of Nangong Yu for him to enjoy.

Nangong Yu angrily tore open a roast chicken, and even planned to throw half of it aside, but was caught by Xiao Mei who came later.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Xiao Mei didn't treat herself as an outsider at all, and she didn't feel any quarrel with Nangong Yu because of the unhappiness she had just had.She unceremoniously took half of the roast chicken, sat down next to him, and began to feast on it.

Nangong Yu's half of the grilled chicken hadn't opened her mouth yet, but her half was swallowed in a blink of an eye.He frowned in disgust, and moved his butt symbolically to show that he didn't like her approaching.But in fact, his butt dawdled in place and didn't move much.

"Well, it's delicious!" I haven't eaten anything since yesterday, even if I managed to eat two mouthfuls in Dugu Mansion last night, I still couldn't eat. At this moment, I was so hungry that my front stomach was sticking to my back, and I couldn't hold it back.Xiao Mei swallowed half of the grilled chicken, and licked her greasy fingers unsatisfied.

"Here!" Nangong Yu stuffed the other half of the roast chicken he had not eaten into her with a look of disgust, and reprimanded her at the same time: "Every lady, pay attention to how you eat!"

She doesn't look like the young lady of the Xiao family, but rather like a beggar.

"Thank you!" Xiao Mei smiled sweetly at him, and unceremoniously gnawed off the other half of the roast chicken, including even the bones that could be chewed.

After hiccupping loudly, Xiao Mei felt her energy and strength regained.

Nangong Yu smiled sinisterly, and began to fight back viciously: "Your husband's life or death is uncertain, you should wash your face with tears after sleepless nights. You can eat so sweetly, it shows that you are only paying lip service to him. But mere!"

Whoa, this guy!She knew that he would not be so kind, so he was here waiting for her.

Xiao Mei raised her eyebrows, and smashed the bare chicken bone at his hideous handsome face. "Only when you're full will you have the strength to go find him. Do you understand? If you don't understand, just shut up and don't provoke my sister!"

Nangong Yu narrowly escaped, and couldn't help but get angry: "Dare to fight with the young master if you disagree with me, you are so used to me!"

"Just do it, what can you do!" Xiao Mei was a bit crazy, and because she got to know Nan Gong Yu well, the two often fought and scolded each other, and they didn't know what politeness and humility meant.She raised her oily hands and wiped his shiny robe.

Nangong Yu backed away in disgust, and at the same time drew a burning branch from the fire and gestured at her. "Don't come here! Go and wash your dirty paws first before getting close to the young master!"

"Bah!" Xiao Mei spat in disdain. "Who wants to get close to you, shameless and self-indulgent!"

After finishing speaking, she snorted coldly, ignored Nangong Yu, turned around and went to wash her hands in the creek not far away.

Seeing Xiao Mei leaving, a smile flashed across Nangong Yu's handsome eyes, but when he thought of something, the faint smile finally froze.He threw the branch in his hand back into the campfire, and continued to be sullen and angry.

"The servant has seen nine thousand years old!"

"Nine-thousand-year-old blessing and golden safety!"

Qi Zecheng hurried into the Tingyu Pavilion, and the maids and eunuchs visited and saluted one after another.He didn't care to take a look, and almost rushed into Nangongying's bedroom.

Nangong Ying was holding Dabai, her beloved pet, walking back and forth in the bedroom, her beautiful face was full of anxiety.As the guard announced the arrival of Nine Thousand Years, she subconsciously let out a breath as if she had let go of the boulder hanging over her heart.

"You're finally here!" Nangong Ying put down Dabai, took a few steps forward to Qi Zecheng, and said with a sad face: "Yu'er has gone to Lishan, no one can persuade you! You must find a way to send the nearest person to rescue her as soon as possible." he!"

A gleam flashed in Qi Zecheng's eyes, he paused for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away!"

Nangong Ying cried gratefully: "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I don't know who to ask..."

"Your Majesty, what are you doing! It's all about me, don't worry and cry!" Qi Zecheng hated seeing her cry the most, took a step forward, stretched out his hand to try to wipe away the tears on her jade cheeks, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly shrink back He returned his hand and quickly knelt down.

Nangong Ying was taken aback, still unable to understand what Qi Zecheng meant by this move, she saw Emperor Situ Huang walking in quickly.

Of course, as the emperor of the Tiansheng Dynasty, wherever he went, Situ Huang would always be surrounded by him, and he would never be alone.In addition to his guards with swords, Concubine Yu and the female officer Rui Zhu are also following behind him.

Nangong Ying is Situ Huang's favorite concubine, it's not surprising that he often comes to see her in the bedroom, even if he brings other favorite concubines with him, it's normal, but it's not normal for him to come all the way, and no one reports it.

When Situ Huang walked in, he saw Nangong Ying bursting into tears and Qi Zecheng kneeling in front of her, he couldn't help being surprised: "Aifei, Aiqing, what are you two doing!"

Nangong Ying didn't expect Situ Huang to break in suddenly, and there was no one who passed on the message.She didn't have time to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and with Qi Zecheng kneeling in front of her, she didn't know what to explain for a while.A flash of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes, she hid her face with her sleeves, and wept softly, thinking of excuses.

Before Nangong Ying could come up with an excuse, Qi Zecheng had already turned around on his knees, kowtowed to Situ Huang, and said, "My Majesty, Nangong Guifei's nephew was captured by the regent's army as a rebel, and his life and death are unknown." The imperial concubine was so anxious that she wanted to report to the emperor. Because the regent is the emperor's uncle, she was afraid of embarrassing the emperor, so she announced the minister and sent the minister to be a lobbyist to plead with the regent. The minister believed that this matter should not be hidden Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the king of a country. Even if the regent is of high seniority, he cannot surpass the emperor's order. It is said that the mountain is not as high as the sun, and the emperor is a wise king. I ask the emperor to decide whether the regent should release the nephew of the noble concubine or not!"

"Well," Situ Huang understood, but his expression became long.The most troublesome thing for him was dealing with the emperor's uncle Situ Xian, but this matter was related to his favorite concubine Nangong, so he couldn't refuse. "There is such a thing! I sent the emperor uncle to Licheng to encircle the Yellow Turban Army. Why did he arrest the noble concubine's nephew? There must be a misunderstanding!"

"Your majesty," Concubine Yu came closer, her red lips moved, and reminded: "The relationship between the noble concubine and Eunuch Qi is very good! Even the emperor doesn't know about such an important matter, so he first summoned Eunuch Qi to discuss it. Weeping in front of Eunuch Qi..."

The implication in the words is already obvious - the relationship between Nangong Ying and Qi Zecheng is not clean!

Nangong Ying gritted her teeth secretly. She really never expected that Concubine Yu would put eyeliner beside her. The news had been revealed since she secretly announced that Qi Zecheng had come to discuss business. Otherwise, Emperor Situ Huang couldn't have come so quickly and so coincidentally.When was there a traitor by her side, but she didn't know until then, it was extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, Qi Zecheng had good eyes and ears, so he heard the footsteps of someone walking in in time, and was able to accurately judge that the person in front of him was Situ Huang. He didn't reach out to test Nangongying's tears, and knelt down in front of her decisively.Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to argue.

No matter how powerful Qi Zecheng is, his status is also below that of the noble concubine.Therefore, Nangong Ying and him stood and knelt to distance each other virtually, and their silent words showed the master-servant relationship between the two of them.Although it was inappropriate for Nangong Ying to cry in front of him, but as a woman, she was also worried about her nephew's safety, so it was not a big mistake for her to cry in front of Qi Zecheng.If Situ Huang saw Qi Zecheng reach out to test Nangongying's tears with his own eyes, it would be a different matter.

This matter is indeed extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

But this move was too far-fetched, Concubine Yu would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.She covered her mouth with a smile, and continued teasingly: "Those who don't know think that Eunuch Qi is the one that the imperial concubine can rely on!"

Situ Huang frowned, and his expression changed immediately.

"Bold!" Nangong Ying didn't wait for Situ Huang to react, and immediately lashed out at Concubine Yu.Her black eyebrows were erected, her almond eyes were wide open, and the thunder was furious. "Spreading rumors and making troubles without evidence, for fear that the world will not be chaotic, what is your intention, Concubine Yu!"

Concubine Yu trembled in fright. She had never seen the delicate Nangong Ying lose her temper. In addition, the opponent's position was higher than hers, and she even put on a big hat. How could she bear it? Her knees softened , "Plop" knelt down.

"Your majesty is wise, my concubine definitely did not spread rumors!" Concubine Yu could only cry and complain to Situ Huang: "The concubine just felt that the actions of the concubine's elder sister were unreasonable, and when something happened to her natal family, she immediately secretly announced that Eunuch Qi would go to the bedroom to discuss it. I didn't report to the emperor immediately, it's clear..."

"My concubine is afraid that the emperor will make things difficult for me!" Nangong Ying also fell to her knees with a thud, crying like a begonia with rain, so she was wronged. "The regent is the emperor's uncle, so it would be embarrassing to be caught in the middle. Eunuch Qi has a long history with the regent, so the concubine entrusts him to intercede with the old man regent. Busy, the concubine really can't bear to bother the emperor with the affairs of her mother's family, and make the emperor feel embarrassed. Splashing water on my concubine and Eunuch Qi is far-fetched, ridiculous and hateful! If the emperor doesn't punish this concubine severely and return my concubine's innocence, how can I continue to live with face, it's better to prove my innocence by dying!"

After an impassioned confession, Nangong Ying stood up and slammed into the thick pillar closest to her with all her might.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it!" Chen Xiang appeared in time, and spread his arms to protect the pillar, but Nan Gongying crashed into her arms, and both master and servant fell to the ground.

Situ Huang was shocked, and quickly ordered around: "Stop the concubine quickly!"

The maids swarmed over and helped Nangong Ying up with all their hands and feet, serving tea, stroking breasts, beating their backs, it was a lot of work.Nangong Yingfang woke up, crying "Wow".

"My dear concubine, why are you...why bother!" Situ Huang panicked immediately, bowed down in a hurry, and coaxed him: "I know you are loyal, and I have never doubted you. What's more, Qi Aiqing is a eunuch How could I be so confused! After all, it's Concubine Yu who talks too much!"

Speaking of this, Situ Huang couldn't help venting all his anger on Concubine Yu, Long Yan was furious, and said, "It's you who caused this mess by causing trouble! Tell me how it will end!"

Concubine Yu had knelt down a long time ago, and when she heard Situ Huang's attack, she couldn't help trembling all over, crying and arguing: "The concubine is wronged! The concubine just made a joke with the concubine sister, I didn't expect such a big trouble There is trouble. I didn't expect that the concubine sister took it seriously and wanted to show her ambition with death. It seems that my sister really has no second thoughts about the emperor. Although the concubine said it was an unintentional mistake, she helped the emperor to verify her sister's loyalty. The harvest! I also ask the emperor and the noble concubine to forgive the concubine's unintentional mistake!"

Situ Huang was not really upset with Concubine Yu, she was young and beautiful and gave birth to a prince for him, he had always been very fond of her.In addition, it didn't cause any serious consequences, it was just a few quarrels between the concubines in the harem, so his face became a little more pleasant, and he said in a slow voice: "It was an unintentional mistake, you made the imperial concubine sad and shed tears, don't go soon Make it up to her!"

"Yes! The concubine obeys!" Concubine Yu did not dare to be negligent when she got this step down. She hurriedly walked up to Nangong Ying and kowtowed: "The concubine apologizes to the concubine and sister, please forgive my sister for being young and speaking out loud Mistake, don’t dare to do it next time!”

After finishing speaking, Concubine Yu covered her face with a handkerchief and kept crying.

Situ Huang looked at the two most beloved concubines, they were all crying pitifully, his anger immediately flew to the country of Zhaqi, wishing he could hold them both in his arms and comfort them softly.However, he was worried that Nangongying would be wronged more, and that he loved her the most, so he took her hand first, and comforted her: "I know that my concubine has been wronged! Concubine Yu is a straightforward person, and she speaks without thinking. How about I punish her for a full month and copy three Buddhist scriptures?"

Although Nangongying was still crying with grievances, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.This incident finally passed, without any danger.Knowing that Situ Huang likes submissive women, she tried to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and choked up softly, "It's nothing for my concubine to be wronged, as long as the emperor doesn't get angry and hurt the dragon's body!"

"My concubine, you are always so considerate!" Situ Huang looked at the soft and charming Nangong Ying, his heart was about to melt, and the balance quickly tilted towards her. "Concubine Yu, kneel down! Remember to think before you speak!"

Concubine Yu was so angry that her lungs were going to explode, but Situ Huang was clearly leaning towards Nangong Ying, if she continued to make trouble, she would only annoy him even more!Swallowing a mouthful of bad breath, he forced a smile on his face: "Thank you, my lord, the noble concubine, and thank you for your forgiveness, my concubine... Kneel down!"

Nangong Ying was helped up by Situ Huang herself, raised her beautiful eyes, and glanced at Concubine Yu triumphantly.

Concubine Yu's teeth were itching with hatred, but she could only bear it. On the surface, she wanted to be grateful, but even if she was unwilling in her heart, she knocked out her teeth and swallowed her blood.She knew that it would be even more difficult to find such an opportunity after scaring the snake out of the grass.

Situ Huang helped Nangong Ying to lie down on the imperial concubine's couch, only to find that Qi Zecheng was still kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Qi Aiqing, get down quickly!"

Qi Zecheng continued to kneel, kowtowed, and said in his mouth: "I have something to report!"

"But it's okay!" Situ Huang took the bird's nest porridge from the maid, stirred it with a silver spoon, and fed Nangong Ying the porridge with his own hands.

Nangong Ying looked at Situ Huang affectionately and smiled, all the grievances she suffered just now seemed to disappear.The two are in love with each other and become more and more affectionate.

"Because the imperial concubine loves her nephew so much, she asks the minister to act as a lobbyist to intercede with the regent. But the minister did not agree without authorization, but intends to sue the emperor and let the emperor decide for the empress!" Qi Zecheng respectfully said.

"Well, I know that you always know how to advance and retreat, and you are the most appropriate one!" Situ Huang was very satisfied with Qi Zecheng's approach.Although he was still a little afraid of the emperor's uncle Situ Xian, after all, he had been on the throne for a long time, so he was much more courageous.Coupled with Nangong Ying's adoring eyes towards him, he suddenly felt proud. "The noble concubine's nephew is my nephew, so naturally I won't just sit idly by. Even if the regent is my uncle, he won't let him hurt innocent people!"

"The emperor is holy!" Qi Zecheng took the opportunity to propose: "It is a matter of feeding the emperor and being loyal to the emperor. I am willing to do my best to relieve the emperor's worries and difficulties. The regent is nine thousand years old and is far away in Licheng. If the emperor's imperial edict is not delivered in time and delays the holy It is too late to make up for the irreversible situation. Why don’t you send the ministers to issue the imperial decree in person, and bring the imperial concubine’s nephew back to Bianjing by the way, so that the empress can feel at ease!”

Situ Huang was worrying that the emperor's uncle, Situ Xian, might ignore his imperial decree, and insisted on punishing Nangongying's nephew heavily for the crime of treason.Of course, he didn't believe that the dignified son of Wei Guofu would mix up with the Yellow Turban traitors. It was probably Situ Xian who had disliked the Nangong family early on and used it to rule out the aliens.

But over the years, he has developed a sense of awe towards Situ Xian, which cannot be completely eradicated for a while.But the beauty stared at him with teary eyes, and if he ignored her, he might hurt her heart.Therefore, even if he had to bite the bullet, he had to issue the imperial decree. As for Situ Xian's willingness to obey the decree, he could only resign himself to fate.

At this time, I heard that Qi Zecheng was willing to take this hot potato, like someone sent a pillow while sleeping, there is no reason why he would not allow it.

"Okay! Yes!" Situ Huang immediately approved the imperial decree with a vermilion pen, and Wang Mingqin, the deputy director of internal supervision, rolled it up and sent it to Qi Zecheng. "I'll leave this matter to Qi Aiqing, and I'll give you a blood-sweeping horse, go and come back quickly!"

Hantan refers to the water of cold springs.

Cold springs are just the opposite of hot springs. The water quality is clear but bitingly cold. The only thing they have in common is that there are few living things in the spring water.Even the most cold-resistant fish and shrimp can't stand the low temperature of the cold pool, because there is deadly cold poison in its water.

The most famous cold pool in the world is located in the shade of Tianshan Mountain. It is said that there is no grass for a hundred miles, a pool of stagnant water, and no living things.Because any living thing will be immediately invaded by the cold poison as soon as it touches the water, and will soon fall into the pond water without even splashing.

Even if they escape by chance, they won't live long.In the end, his whole body became stiff and cold, and the corpse could not even be bitten by wild animals.

Lishan also has a cold pool. Of course, it cannot be compared with the cold pool in Tianshan, but it is the best place to heal heat and poison.

Jun Moxin took off her robes and soaked naked in the icy cold pool to resist the heat poison flooding her body.

Even though it was mid-winter, his whole body was soaked in the icy water of the cold pool, but white mist rose from his body, and even the skin all over his body showed a hot crimson.And the water surface around him seemed to be boiling, and as time went by, it started to roll.This is definitely an unrivaled spectacle, even the birds perched on the surrounding dry branches were stunned.

For thousands of years, it was the first time they witnessed the cold pool and turned into a heat wave!
