Chapter 36
Chapter 36
Shang Yun, dressed in men's clothing, was walking aimlessly in Yucheng. She finally got out of the pain of losing her senior sister. Suddenly, a familiar figure made her startled. That person...that person...is Shu Wenling!
"Senior Sister!" Shang Yun raised his lips softly, calling out to the people in the distance.
The man didn't hear it, but rushed forward and quickly moved half a mile away. Shang Yun followed without thinking.Following along, I couldn't help feeling something was wrong.Although this person is said to be very good at lightness kung fu, the speed of light kung fu is not as fast as Shu Wenling's one-fourth of Shu Wenling's. Shang Yun found it very strange that he easily caught up with him without exerting much force.The more she followed, the more she found it strange that this person's lightness kung fu did not use his internal force to make him sprint forward, let alone fly away from the ground, but moved forward like a spider, with the help of very thin white silk. , Pulling himself forward, the method of lightness kung fu was definitely not taught by Feng Xuanzi.
The man turned several times, and accidentally turned his face to let Shang Yun see clearly.That person is Shu Wenling!That's her!However, who taught such ghostly and evil skills?Could it be that before Penglai met, she practiced such an evil method?If this is the case, I would rather this person is not Shu Wenling.
The woman walked through the woods, passed through two small towns, and came to Xuancheng, the capital of Qi State.Xuancheng and Yucheng are far apart, they have spent most of the time, the sky has turned late, although it is not yet dark, but the struggle of the sun is coming to an end.
The woman walked up to the imperial palace in the capital city, took out a piece of rice paper, and spread it out in front of the guards, who readily let her in.Shang Yun didn't know what method she used to enter the palace so easily, Shang Yun only knew that he didn't have the courage and necessity to trespass into the palace.So she came to the thickest part of the city wall, started light work, and easily climbed up the city wall. Before the guards noticed, she quickly jumped to the roof closest to the city wall.She lay on the roof, easily taking a panoramic view of the people inside the wall, only to see the man with a face similar to Shu Wenling pacing quickly, walking towards the depths of the palace.
The waist-hunting Shang Yun jumped two roofs sideways, and then jumped to the top of the bedroom where the woman entered. She tiptoedly lifted the tiles on the top of the hall, and looked down cautiously. In the lower left corner of her The location is a beam pillar.So she put down the tile in her hand, pushed with one hand, and ejected herself three steps away.After she stopped at the calculated position, she lifted the roof tiles again, leaving enough space for one person, then turned sideways, and jumped onto the beam. She searched around along the beam, and finally found in the side room I saw the figure of a woman.The woman looked at the person in charge frantically, and said something.Opposite is a middle-aged man, but his face is covered with traces of age that shouldn't be there, as if he is very old.
Shang Yun tiptoed to the relatively nearby beam and stopped. She just heard the conversation between the two people in the hall, when she heard the woman's tone suddenly change, and she said viciously, "It's from Qi! Don't give me shame!" Shameless! You are the king of Qi, you should have taken the initiative to hand over the boy, but now you want me to do it for you. My patience is limited. If you can't hand in the boy on a monthly basis, I'm afraid The consequences are not something you can bear!"
"You... what do you want?!" King Qi Huan half supported the corner of the table and said tremblingly.
"I don't want to do anything. You heard what I just said. Now, I will go to your harem to capture a little prince and give you a small punishment. If you don't take the initiative to hand it over next time, I won't I will want other children, and I only want your heir!" After the woman said, she turned around and strode away.
"No heroine!" King Qi Huan said tremblingly, but his speaking speed was a little too slow, "No heroine!"
The fake Shu Wenling didn't change her mind because of King Qi Huan's begging for mercy. She knocked out the third prince who was playing in the back garden, held him with one hand, and walked out of the palace.
King Qi Huan fell to the ground, crying tremblingly, "Woman...don't..." Although he felt ashamed, as Qi He said, these people, they can't afford to mess with.
Shang Yun jumped off the beam and jumped in front of King Qi Huan. King Qi Huan saw a woman dressed in men's clothing standing in front of him, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock, "Who are you?"
"Shang Yun, Xianyun Yehe's disciple, has no name or taboo, and is not from the same rivers and lakes as the woman just now." Shang Yun reported his family background frankly.
"Heroine, help!" Qi Huanwang struggled to get up, knelt in front of Shang Yun and begged.
"How did you know that I'm a woman?" Shang Yun asked a little puzzled. Until now, if they hadn't been in contact with her, almost no one could tell her identity as a woman, but King Qi Huan could tell her at a glance. It was a woman, which made her curious.
"Woman, your shoes..." King Qi Huan said submissively.He was deeply afraid that if he said a word badly, he would offend the person in front of him.
Shang Yun was taken aback, and she looked down, and saw a pair of blue embroidered shoes with exquisite patterns on her feet obediently.She couldn't help being startled, and then remembered that Song Feng had told her a few days ago that there was something very suitable for her to give her. When she got up early, Song Feng came to bring her breakfast, but she didn't look at him. , he was fiddling with something with his head down, and he didn't look down, so he put on the shoes that were supposed to be in that position without even thinking about it, and he didn't think there was anything wrong. Now it seems that he secretly gave it to him. my own.Thinking of Song Feng, Shang Yun's heart couldn't help but warm up, and a smile unconsciously hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Heroine, help!" Shang Yun's thoughts had drifted to other places. Suddenly, King Qi Huan cried and hugged Shang Yun's ankle, crying beggingly, "Help, woman!"
Shang Yun couldn't help frowning, and said, "How do you want me to save you?"
"It's useless to be a king and do what I do, but I can't help it!" King Qi Huan said while wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I don't know where the heroine came from, I think you You should also know about the Kingdom of Wenzao God!"
As soon as Shang Yun heard the word "Wen Kuo", she immediately raised her heart, and she couldn't wait to say, "Is what you want to say related to that woman just now?"
King Qi Huan nodded desperately and said, "The woman just now claimed to be the queen of the Wenku Kingdom. She said that their king needs virgin boys and girls, so she asked me to pay tribute. How can there be so many virgin boys and girls in Qi Kingdom! A few days ago Their guardian Sikong has been wantonly arresting the few boys in our country. How can I have boys for them! Now the queen wants me to take the initiative to hand over boys and girls. There is almost no way out!"
"Loss of power and humiliation of the country! Thank you for thinking about it!" Shang Yun said contemptuously.
"I can't help it either! I heard that all the people in Wenkuo have different abilities, so I can't afford to offend them!" Qi Huanwang, who was in his 40s, cried like a child in front of Shang Yun. The weak man never spoke. of the right.
"I haven't fought them head-on, but such a person, let alone you can't afford to provoke them, I can't afford to provoke them either." Shang Yun said coldly.
"I know I can't do other things now, I only have one thing as a heroine."
"Let's just listen." Surrender and tribute, these things made this supposedly majestic king of a country so humble, Shang Yun felt a little soft-hearted, and she wanted to see what King Qi was begging for himself.
"My emperor's younger brother persuaded me to surrender a few days ago because he wanted me to live in mediocrity. I will endure it first and then wait for the opportunity. But now, I don't know when I will turn around. Is this old bone of mine still here? Is there any?" King Qi Huan let go of Shang Yun's hand while talking, took a jade tablet from his waist and handed it to Shang Yun's hand, and then said, "My emperor said that he needs Time, I believe in him, but I am afraid that before he comes to save us, I am afraid that my lineage will no longer exist. Woman Xia, please take this jade card that belongs to me, and take my unit. Prince, get out of here!"
Shang Yun held the jade card and stroked it repeatedly. There was a big Huan character on it, and she felt sore for some reason.She was also a little moved, and asked tentatively, "I, there may only be so much I can do, but you really trust me so much? Are you afraid that I am with that woman?"
King Qi Huan stood up, dusted off the dust from his body, sat back on the master seat, and said with a kind smile, "Is my situation still allowing me to doubt it?"
Shang Yun smiled helplessly. She sympathized with this middle-aged man from the bottom of her heart. She strengthened the voice in her heart, nodded, and said, "Okay! I promise you! I will take this child away for you."
King Qi Huan slowly walked into the inner bedroom, lifted the quilt, and hugged a small quilt on the bed. The child inside was sleeping very soundly. The fear of the past few days made King Qi Huan dare not let him Out of my sight, since he was born, I have been letting him sleep in my bedroom, "His name is Jiu'er, and he was only two weeks old. His mother has been unwell since giving birth to him, and she passed away yesterday." Yes. He hasn’t slept well at night for the past few days. I drink milk for him every day with soothing drugs, so he’s still awake. It just so happens that he was able to escape when the woman was there just now. It will be convenient for you, heroine, to take him out of here." King Huan of Qi caressed the child's forehead reluctantly, and then said, "If our country of Qi can be restored in the future, please tell him his status as a prince. If not, I hope the female hero can help me keep this secret."
Shang Yun hugged the baby in front of him with complicated emotions, took a deep breath, and nodded resolutely.
Shang Yun and Qi Huanwang asked for some quilt covers, rubbed the quilt covers finely, and wrapped Prince Yao on his back.After all, I didn't come in through the main entrance, I'm afraid it would be wrong to go out through the main entrance.So she leaped onto the beam with Jiu'er on her back, and carefully returned by the same way.
After Shang Yun flew down from the thickest wall she came in, he untied the quilt and held the child in his arms, ready to return to Yu City.Suddenly an unfriendly spider thread hit her face, she immediately turned sideways to avoid it.I saw the arrogant woman standing in front of Shang Yun with a child with dull eyes on her arms.Shang Yun could see clearly that the woman's face was very similar to Shu Wenling's, but not the same. Her complexion was gray and lacklustre, and the bloodshot eyes in her eyes were lifeless like black spider threads.
Shang Yun quickly carried Prince Yao behind his back again, looked at the fake Shu Wenling with some distress, and said, "You shouldn't be like this."
"Oh? You know me?" The fake Shu Wenling turned his head sideways, made a rattling sound, and looked at Shang Yun contemptuously.
"I should know you, but the current you doesn't seem to be you." Shang Yun said in a trembling voice, a little unreal.
"Then who should I be?" The fake Shu Wenling stretched out a hand and waved it in front of him.
Shang Yun frowned, put his hands on his waist, touched a few silver needles, and said, "I don't know everything about you, I only know that you shouldn't be the queen of Wenkuo Kingdom!"
As soon as the words were spoken, three light needles and a few strands of spider silk were shot out from two directions at the same time, colliding with each other.
Shang Yun was lucky to have the needle, and the fake Shu Wenling's spider silk did not leave her any room at all.
"You are quite courageous! How dare you kidnap the royal family of Qi!" Fake Shu Wenling's eyes froze, and he opened his hands at the same time. Spider threads spewed from all directions and rushed towards Shang Yun. Shang Yun was startled, and she caught a glimpse of him. Directing towards the scorching sun, he immediately took out a mirror from his pocket and looked at the sun. The spider threads in all directions shrank back involuntarily, and Shang Yun and Prince Yao disappeared. Only three silver needles were left behind. With a sound, the three silver needles all fell to the ground.
The fake Shu Wenling retracted all the spider threads, walked up cautiously, and picked up the silver needle. The moment his hand touched it, his fingers were smoking as if they had been burned.
"En?" Fake Shu Wenling let go of the silver needle at once, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, carefully wrapped the silver needle, and put it into the arms of the third prince beside him.
Shang Yun quietly watched the actions of the fake Shu Wenling not far away, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.She didn't leave with Hyun Yun and move her spirit, but escaped quietly with the help of a blindfold.The moment Shu Wenling picked up the needle, Shang Yun already knew it.That woman is definitely not Shu Wenling!Like the woman she lost last time, they are not human.But, where is Shu Wenling?
Shang Yun couldn't help feeling a little lonely, but when she remembered the agreement with King Qi Huan just now, she regained her composure.
Maybe, Shu Wenling is gone, but the survivors still have to live well, don't they?
Shang Yun smiled slightly, took out the jade pendant, and left after reciting a mantra.
Now she has completely freed herself from the guilt of losing Shu Wenling, because she has already figured out that many things are beyond her control. Perhaps, her departure means a new beginning.Is not it?
