Yan Fei

Chapter 79 Lamb

Chechen didn't let Yama Yana follow him, and dragged Wu Zhu alone, and quietly moved out of the banquet hall amidst the hustle and bustle of people.

The Modo Palace is condescending, built with white stone and mud walls, concentrated in one place, and tall, located in the center of Modo.

Mo Duo Ancient City, a circular city, is lined up around the imperial palace. Due to the large population, even the surrounding stone walls have holes for people to live in.

Next to the white stone corridor is a canal built with the same white stone, flowing with gurgling snow water.

To the northwest of the palace is a snow-capped mountain that never melts all year round. The melted snow will first flow into the aqueduct of the palace and then into the city, which can support a city full of people.

Chechen walked ahead anxiously, and stuffed it into his chest pocket without a word—just now, in the banquet hall, while drinking wine, Princess Qingyuan's maid handed over a key to him while pouring wine for him. over him.

The maid said that it was hidden by Princess Qingyuan secretly, and he reckoned that he might be able to release the shackles on Wu Zhu's feet.

But right now he doesn't want to use it...that's another matter.

He glanced sideways at Wu Zhu with a guilty conscience, just in time to meet Wu Zhu's gaze that turned away after watching the scenery.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhu asked with concern, the shackles on his feet were still rattling.

So Chechen became more and more nervous, hurriedly said it was nothing, walked a few steps away, but felt that this behavior was too much, so he stopped and waited for him again.

"Speaking of which, why did you suddenly go looking for your father?" Wu Zhu brushed the hair next to her ears, and blinked like a cat.

Chechen's throat moved up and down, and he said in a low voice, "Father just meant...that we should go over."

"Oh... His Majesty the Wolf King must have seen something."

Chechen raised his eyebrows: "What did you do?"

Wu Zhu smiled faintly: "It's just a hint. But you are still young, and you don't know how to go back to the past, so it's only natural that you don't know."

Che Chen curled his lips and turned his head rather dissatisfied.

That's impossible, the little son of the Northern Territory now wants to know everything about his new friend.

The Wolf King was flipping through a booklet in his bedroom, his brows were wrinkled, and the word "Chuan" was formed into a tangled one.

Che Chen stepped into the house and greeted his father: "Father, I brought Wu Zhu over."

The wolf king noticed the subtlety of his words, twitched his eyes nervously, and put down the booklet.

"Since Mr. has given a clear instruction, then the king will not go around again." The wolf king slowly added another handful of cigarettes to the incense table, and sat down behind the desk, "Mr. is a lamb?"

Chechen was even more confused, and couldn't figure out where Wu Zhu had communicated with his father.

He thought about it, Father asked Wu Zhu to come forward to look at his eyes after he blew the Xun, and Father also told him after listening to the tune that he remembered Caiyin Bayar.

Could it be that there is something wrong with that piece of music?

Wu Zhu saluted and said, "Exactly."

"Your mother...is Caiyin Bayar?"

"My mother's pseudonym is Roufu."

The wolf king sneered and said, "I never thought that a little game played by their little girls would be used in adults..."

Wu Zhu was puzzled.

The wolf king said: "I grew up with the lambs, and these little girls will raise some small things. Your mother has a good relationship with my woman, and they raised a pair of mayflies.

"It's just a pair of mayflies caught from the pool in the palace, squeezed up when the sun just rose, and buried in the water when the moon was in the middle of the sky.

"The one your mother gave her is called Soufu."

Caiyin Bayar understood the fate of the lamb from the very beginning.If you are lucky, you will never encounter catastrophe in your life, and you will eat and drink in the palace for your whole life. If you are unlucky, you will not be able to go back once you go out, and you will live and die for only one thing.

The wolf king recalled: "Caiyin Bayar's eyes are the bluest among those girls, and my queen's eyes are like a pair of emeralds."

"...they are so beautiful." Wu Zhu said.He doesn't have much impression of his mother, but his memory of those cat-like eyes is still fresh, and it's not hard to imagine how beautiful Che Chen's mother's eyes would be.

Until they left the wolf king's bedroom, Chechen didn't speak much, so Wu Zhu stopped talking.He turned his head to look at the dark sky in the Northern Territory, and the brilliant Milky Way seemed to be knocked over in the endless sky like a cup of wine.

When he was in Mingham, he had never seen such a beautiful scene, and what always filled his mind was the unbearably damp stones and the iron fence above his head.

There was no Milky Way, no stars, and he couldn't even see the sky under the light of a circle of torches and the viscous eyes of those jailers.

He took a deep breath. At this moment, a gorgeous firework suddenly exploded in the center of the Milky Way in the distance. There was a ball of white light in the middle, surrounded by red, orange, and yellow in sequence. It was clearly night, but it was strange. The ground is warm.

That bunch of fireworks really surprised him, followed by many fireworks of different colors, weaving a bustling appearance of fiery trees and silver flowers.

"What? Scared?"

Wu Zhu frowned, and looked at Chechen sullenly.Chechen looked at him innocently with his arm on his pillow, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow his eyes.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? After all, the two of us didn't even utter a word all the way. What are you doing with such a good face?" Chechen relaxed his arms, "Haven't you seen fireworks?"

"I've seen it before... It's just that Minghan has never had such a big one."

The land of Minghan is not only often not peaceful on the border, even their capital city, Panyuan, is not a peaceful place. Although this kind of playful thing can be made, it is not researched by special personnel like Chilupan, trying to make it beautiful and large.

"If so," Chechen said, "if you really live in the palace in the future, I guarantee you can see it every year, and it will look better every year."

Wu Zhu was startled, and subconsciously began to fear.

Year after year... Does this mean that he should stay in this palace forever?

He had been imprisoned for too long, and if anyone had the slightest ambiguous idea of ​​imprisoning him, it would make his hair stand on end and make him feel cold.

Chechen noticed Wu Zhu's abnormal state, and stretched out his hand to hold his skinny shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Wu Zhu stared wide-eyed, staring blankly at his frowning brows: "No... nothing."

Chechen... Chechen is a good man, he is the child of his mother's close friend.

He shouldn't have doubted that he would do something so egregious.

Chechen looked at him, suddenly grabbed his wrist, and dragged him towards his bedroom without saying a word.

"Che, Chechen?!" Wu Zhu stumbled and was dragged away by him, neither his feet nor his mind reacted for a moment.

The two of them walked out of the wolf king's bedroom along the white stone corridor, and passed by the still lively banquet hall.

"My mother's health has not been very good, she was sick and passed away a few years ago."

Wu Zhu listened to him talking about the woman he was not familiar with at all.They walked through the corridor under Chechen's bedroom.

"She is very tired, but she and Dad love each other very much."

Chechen finally stopped and squatted by the pool under his bedroom.

Wu Zhu squatted down with him.In the pond, there are many carp scurrying around with their tails swaying here and there, and there are still warm yellow river lanterns floating on the water.

Chechen flicked the water: "Even though Ah Mu left early, Dad is still very happy, I know it. I always thought that the woman I married back would just be put there quietly to make a show. It has nothing to do with me... But I saw that princess today, and she was so bored, is she a gourd?"

Wu Zhu didn't expect him to say that, he couldn't hold back for a while, and almost choked on himself.

Chechen continued: "I just feel now... I also want to be like my woman. What if she ignores me for the rest of my life?"

Wu Zhu also understood.After all, just by getting along for a while, one can see that Che Chen is a quiet person, while Princess Qingyuan is a quiet person by nature, not to mention that she is not willing to marry Chilupan, and she will not have a good face for a long time.How did two people like this come together?

Wu Zhu said: "Qing Yuan is a good boy, you can try to get along with her first."

As he spoke, he touched his ankle.

"When I was young, I played with her when I was able to run around. Later, when I entered the sky prison, she was the first to pick me up outside every Chinese New Year. Even when I was in the prison, she also teased me a lot. .”

He glanced at Chechen, and suddenly felt that his blond hair seemed to be fluffy, and it felt good to the touch, so he felt itchy in his hand, and rubbed it hard.

Chechen didn't scream and dodge, but turned his head to look at him suspiciously, and narrowed his eyes comfortably.

"Okay, I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, then I'll send her back," Chechen rubbed Wu Zhu's slightly damaged palm with nostalgia, and seemed to be quite useful for this kind of behavior, " Even if it's a marriage, I don't want her to be unhappy."

Wu Zhu withdrew his hand and rubbed his stiff fingers.

At this time, Yama came in with a round silver tray, on which there were piles of lotus river lanterns stacked on top of each other.

Wu Zhu took a river lantern, put it in the palm of his hand, muttered something, and then used lamp oil to draw a circle of mantra-like patterns on the bottom of the river lantern, and then took the fire from Yama and lit it. , and gently pushed this light-as-a-feather river lantern into the pool.

That river lantern was very interesting, it started spinning after falling into the water, and collided with the river lantern that was in the river before.

Wu Zhu said: "That won't work. If you send the princess back to Minghan with such a reason, the emperor will definitely treat the hinterland of a gentleman with a villain's heart and think that Chilupan will violate the agreement, and then send troops. You don't have to ask for these things. Think about it, now that you are the son of the world, you don't have to go offside to face those difficulties, and start learning the acacia flute tomorrow."

Chechen took out a piece of shiny gold foil paper from his pocket, folded a little crane two or three times, threw it into the water, pursed his mouth: "Then what should I do? Alas... Wu Zhu, actually I have some I regret it."

"...What?" Wu Zhu didn't understand for a moment, her heart suddenly rose, and her neck became stiff.

"I didn't understand before, and I only thought that a girl wouldn't be so cold and cold. Who would have thought... well, I was thinking about something, so please don't spread it. To be honest, I... don't really like it. Marry her, and I don't like her, and she doesn't like me either. What's the point of seeing each other and hating each other? People still need to be able to go to bed with sincerity to live together. In the end, just because I am the son of the world, I have to marry her?

"Let me say something more. If I am not the son of the world, do I not have to marry her, but be with the person I love?"

Che Chen looked at Wu Zhu in puzzlement.
