Big dreamer

"Brother Shen, as long as you can spare his life, I am willing to reveal everything I know about the secrets of the body training altar." After Ma Xiuxiu said this, he knelt down directly on the ground.

"Ma Xiuxiu, you are indeed involved with the body training altar." Shen Luo heard this and said coldly.

"Brother Shen, as long as you show mercy today, anything will be fine, even if it means my life in exchange," Ma Xiuxiu lowered her head and said again.

"No..." When the Jinghe Dragon King heard this, he was immediately shocked and angry.

"What is your relationship with this Jinghe Dragon King? Why do you have to go to such an extent?" Shen Luo's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Shen, he is my biological father, how could you not save me?" Ma Xiuxiu asked loudly.

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her head, her face already stained with tears.

Although Shen Luo had already guessed, he was still a little shocked when he heard Ma Xiuxiu admit it personally. He never expected that Ma Xiuxiu would be the daughter of the Jinghe Dragon King.

"It sounds unbelievable, right? If those people hadn't done evil, I would probably have used the respected surname 'Ao', right? I would have been a little dragon girl who grew up in the Dragon Palace and was ignorant of the world, right?" Ma Xiuxiu murmured.

However, Shen Luo heard some inexplicable meaning from it and asked: "Those who do evil, what do you mean by this?"

"The world only knows that my father acted in a fit of rage and did not respect the Jade Emperor's will. He changed the timing and quantity of rain without authorization, and was pushed to the dragon-slaying platform for violating the laws of heaven. Who has ever sought out the root cause behind this?" Ma Xiuxiu asked.

Shen Luo had already known about the gambling battle between the Jinghe Dragon King and Yuan Shoucheng, but judging from Ma Xiuxiu's words, it seemed that there was another hidden story behind the matter.

"Miss Ma, please explain clearly what you have to say." Shen Luo frowned.

Ma Xiuxiu was about to speak, but was stopped by the Dragon King of Jinghe: "Let me speak..."

Shen Luo turned his eyes and shifted his gaze to the Jinghe Dragon King, but he did not let go of the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand.

"That was twenty years ago. At that time, Ma Wenli, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, gave birth to a daughter named Yuan Ran. She was both talented and beautiful, and she was quite famous in Chang'an City..." The Jinghe Dragon King's eyes drifted towards In the distance, my thoughts seem to have returned to the past.

In his eloquent narration, Shen Luo heard a story about divination and gambling that was very different from what he had known before.

At that time, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty went out to hunt in the mountains. When he returned, he took a break at Ma Wenli's mansion in Jingzhao. He met the second young lady of the Ma family, who was both talented and beautiful. He was immediately impressed by her talent and beauty and admired her endlessly.

In order to win over Yuan Tiangang, the imperial master of the dynasty, and the powerful Yuan family behind him, the Emperor of Tang took it upon himself to arrange a marriage for the Ma and Yuan families, and gave the second Miss Ma in marriage to the second son of the Yuan family, who was also the most talented in the capital at that time. Yuan Qing.

In the eyes of everyone in Chang'an City at that time, this was a perfect match, and everyone praised it.

But no one knew that Miss Ma Er fell into the water while swimming in a river and was rescued by the Jinghe Dragon King who transformed into a human form. The two had already fallen in love at first sight.

It was just because of the differences between humans and gods that the Dragon King of Jinghe never made the gift of three letters and six betrothal gifts. However, the Tang Emperor unexpectedly interfered, causing the current embarrassing situation.

Due to ethical issues, Miss Ma Er had no choice but to break up with the Dragon King of Jinghe, although she was deeply in love with him. She was forced by her father to marry the second son of the Yuan family.

It wasn't until he learned that his beloved was about to get married that the Dragon King of Jinghe finally couldn't bear it anymore. When the Yuan and Ma families were preparing for the wedding with great fanfare, he got angry and snatched the bride, and took Miss Ma Er back to the Dragon Palace of Jinghe.

Originally, the Yuan and Ma families, and even the Tang government were shaken by this incident, and wanted to attack the Jinghe Dragon Palace, but Yuan Qing stopped them.

After Yuan Qing personally learned from Miss Ma Er that the two of them were in love and had been privately engaged for life, she reluctantly withdrew the engagement letter and fulfilled both of them.

It's a pity that the amazingly talented Yuan Ergong was also an infatuated person. Although he endured the pain to help them, he could never forget Miss Ma Er in his heart. In the end, his longing for her became an illness and he died in depression.

If things had only come to this point, it would have been just a tragedy of love that could not be achieved, but what happened next brought this marriage incident to another ending.

"After Yuan Ran and I performed the wedding ceremony, we lived a relatively stable time, which was probably the happiest time in my life. Later, in order to avenge his nephew Yuan Qing, the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Tiangang, He deliberately transformed into Yuan Shoucheng, a fortune teller, to provoke me into a fight, and finally killed me under the pretense of Wei Zheng. "The Dragon King of Jinghe spoke faster and faster, and his expression became more and more angry.

"You said Yuan Shoucheng was transformed by Yuan Tiangang?" Shen Luo frowned.

He had heard Cheng Guogong talk about this matter before. The Tang government was also very confused about Yuan Shoucheng's identity, but his identity was too mysterious. After the Jinghe Dragon King was beheaded, he seemed to have disappeared from the world. There has been no trace since.

"Who else could he be, with the power of divination? And good at manipulating people's hearts?" Jinghe Dragon King sneered.

"Not long after that, my mother gave birth to me, but my father was already dead, so we were kicked out of the Jinghe Dragon Palace. Fortunately, my father's old friend saved us and we survived. Unfortunately, my mother died when I was seven years old. , and ended up depressed. In the end, we still couldn't wait for the moment when our family was reunited." Ma Xiuxiu punched the ground, and her tears fell.

Shen Luo listened carefully, and although he felt sad in his heart, he still said:

"Even if you want revenge, you should go find Yuan Tiangang and His Majesty. Why do you want to anger the entire city of Chang'an, leading to the loss of life and innocent deaths?"

"Innocent? When Yuan Qing died, how many people in Chang'an gathered on both sides of the Jing River, threw stones into the river, and cursed my parents day and night? When my father was beheaded by Wei Zheng, how many people in Chang'an clapped their hands and celebrated with fire? Among them? But does anyone remember that my father has been in charge of the Jinghe River for many years, and the water has been calm and the waves have been calm, and the clouds and rain have been rising, and he has never dared to slack off, so that they can have good weather and good harvests?" Ma Xiuxiu suddenly stood up from the ground and shouted loudly. asked accusingly.

When Shen Luo heard this, he didn't know how to argue.

"They are all ungrateful and stupid people, and they deserve to die." Ma Xiuxiu seemed to be still upset and cursed angrily.

"Miss Ma, even if what you said is not wrong, twenty years have passed since those things. How many new lives have been born in Chang'an City in these twenty years? Some of them are even still in their infancy. They have no idea what happened back then. Feng Bo, what crime do they have?" Shen Luo sighed.

"It's their fault that they shouldn't be born in this sinful city of Chang'an!" Ma Xiuxiu's eyes turned cold and she said with resentment.
