Murong paper on the snow mountain

"He doesn't want it?"

"After all, what's the point?"

Looking at the white snow outside the window, Tang Ji shook his head.

"The national treasury has been short of money due to successive wars, officials, merchants and farmers have been abolished, and the lowly slaves in Vietnam, mainland and southern borders have been displaced and become beggars and robbers, harassing the good people all the time. Refugees burned, killed and looted, and the people were in dire straits. Not to mention that the surrounding countries are staring at each other, if the Great Xia Emperor is elected, he may soon be the king of subjugation."

"That's why, it's fine if King Cheng and King Ning want to fight. How can a person with such a clear heart as His Royal Highness Liang want to accept this mess?"

"Then he still robs?" He doesn't hesitate to dig the dead out of the coffin to help him rob?

"It's just because... King Liang doesn't want to take care of it anymore, but he can't bear the heart of the people in this world to fall into the hands of a fatuous lord."

"King Cheng is perverted and ridiculous, while King Ning is too talented and talented, but he is too sentimental. After all, he is not the material for governing the country. No matter which one of them falls into the hands of the Great Xia, I am afraid that the people will become miserable and out of control. .”

"Today, only King Liang... is the ray of hope for Great Xia. Perhaps it is because of this that Pavilion Master Xun, Daoist Wei, and even Young Master Ye Pu are willing to follow behind King Liang. I am also... the same."

……

"Young Master Tang cares about the world, it's really admirable, but—"

Xie Lv bowed his hands and smiled, thinking that everyone in the King of Liang family is really good at deceiving people, no wonder so many strange people are recruited under his command.It's a pity, I didn't come here to hear what you said about your master.

"It's just that Xie has no big ambitions. Now all he thinks about is how to protect himself and A Zhi, so that he won't be demolished after crossing the river and killing donkeys after the chaos. I hope Shao Envoy Tang can give some pointers."

Tang Ji nodded: "Tang Ji is dull, he only thinks of two paths... let General Xie choose."

"First, you asked me about the fragments of the secret treasure before. If you can really find them for the King of Liang, it will probably keep you two safe forever. It's just that the two fragments are rumored to be in my Maple Leaf Villa and the other in Miaojiang. But Shuangshuang has never been found, and there are no clues now."

Xie Lv rolled his eyes: "What if I only get one of them? Can at least one of us be replaced?"

"... General Xie got it?"

"Well, I meant 'if'."

"It's hard to say. After all, you have to collect all six secret treasures before you can find the treasure house of the former dynasty's underground palace based on the clues in the secret treasures. If you can find the former dynasty's treasure and solve the problem of the national treasury's deficit, His Royal Highness King Liang should be willing to treat you two. It’s just to open the net. If one thing is always missing, I’m afraid it’s not enough.”

"However, let alone the missing piece of the secret treasure, even if you find it by chance, how can you know if it is real or not?"

Tang Jidao: "Master Xun's ancestor was a mausoleum slave of the former royal family, he can tell the truth from the false."

Xun Chang?Xun Chang is so shrewd, that is to say... it is not easy to fake it.Xie Lv sighed secretly that another road was blocked, and asked Tang Ji casually: "Speaking of which, Xun Chang... what happened? He is a subordinate of King Liang, why is he still working in Prince Cheng's mansion? I I also heard that he originally followed King Ning, who is that guy from?"

"Which side can it be from?" Tang Ji glanced at him, as if saying that he was stupid.

Yes yes yes... Naturally they are all loyal servants of King Liang.In this whole world, who dares not to be your Prince Liang's master?

Just thinking about it, Tang Ji said in a daze: "I heard people say that you were killed by Xun Chang, but I don't know if it's true."

The snow outside crushed the branches and fell to the ground with a muffled crack. Xie Lv's chest was also choked, and he frowned in confusion.

"Xun Chang...killed me? But why did he kill me? Ah Zhi said, I, I was killed by people from Prince Ning's mansion, right?"

Tang Ji raised his head and glanced at him: "At that time, Lord Xun was the 'Ning Wang's man'."

Xie Lv was stunned for a moment, unable to speak.

"Who is it...you are the person King Ning misses?"

"King Cheng and King Ning, one is the eldest son, and the other is the favorite son of the imperial concubine. Although they have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, they have never reached the point where they must fight. Even Xun Chang, who has been with King Ning for more than ten years, openly Abandoning the old master and surrendering to Chengwang is not enough for King Ning to make up his mind, so Prince Liang's palace finally... had to design Chengwang's mansion to kill you, forcing Ningwang and Chengwang to completely break up."

Then, the two kings of Chengning and Ning each led their troops and fought in the southwest for more than a year...

Although Xie Lv was still in a trance and unbelievable, but after hearing these words, some things became clear to him—up to now, the two kings of Chengning and Ning have lost both sides in their battles, and both of them have suffered a lot of infamy for making the entire southwest people miserable. The fourth prince, King Ying, Also death disputes.

There is only one King Liang, who hides behind King Ning quietly, reaping the benefits of the fisherman.

Unexpectedly, he thought he was just a mere general leading troops to fight, but because of a previous chance, he did something in the hands of King Liang that eventually caused chaos.

Ah Zhi once said that he had sworn allegiance to King Ning to the death, but his heart was broken, so he left the capital and returned to the snow mountain.I thought I could forget about the past and start again, but I was chased by those people in the capital step by step, and even now I can't rest in peace after death.

"Master Tang said before that there is another way, what is it?"

He was in a state of confusion, and asked Tang Ji with difficulty: "If we can't find the remaining two pieces of secret treasure, what else can we do so that Ah Zhi and I are no longer subject to the past and the head of the guard?"

"That method..." Tang Ji said slowly, "It probably won't protect you, but it can protect Murong."

"In what way?"

"Let me take him back to Luo Jing."

"..."

"King Liang already has a Taoist chief of guard, so he no longer needs Murong to control the corpse; when King Cheng is defeated, he probably won't need you, General Xie. But with the power of my Maple Leaf Villa in the southwest, if we can add Nan The face of Young Master Jiang Yepu should be able to work together to protect Murong Zhouquan for at least ten or twenty years."

"General Xie, although you don't remember the past, you still keep Murong by your side. Presumably Murong's affection for you, even if Tang Mou doesn't need to say more, General Xie can feel it."

"It's just that General Xie can't protect himself now, so how can he protect Murong? If General Xie really feels sorry for Murong, it's better for him to be entrusted to me to take care of him. Murong...has a rough life, and his heart is very sad, not to mention he has lost his life." You once, definitely can't afford you to die in front of him a second time."

***

"You went to deliver a heater to Shao Envoy Tang, why did it take so long?"

Under the sparkling candlelight, Murong Zhi flipped through an old book boredly.Xie Lu pushed the door open and brought in the cold wind, blowing a drop of red candle oil onto the paper.

"You are reading in such a dark place again, and you have said that it is not good for your eyes."

"But it's hard for us...to be blind?" Murong Zhi didn't care, and blew on the page a few times, only waiting for the wax to dry before peeling it off.

Suddenly, he was embraced by that person from behind, his coat carried the slight chill of the courtyard, and he was quieter than usual.

"It's so cold, take off your clothes with frost and mist," he complained in a low voice, and then pointed to the bulge in a brocade quilt outside the bed: "I warmed the quilt for you."

He put the three Tang ladies in the room under Xie Lu's quilt. He had been away for so long just now, and he should have warmed up by now.

Blowing out the candle, being squeezed into the bed by Xie Lv, listening to his breathing, staring at the deadly darkness of the room, Murong Zhi was too lazy to think about how unprincipled he was—

At first, he came to his room every night after finishing his work, pestering him to listen to the "past" things.Because Murong Zhi took good care of himself, he couldn't refuse the door, but after talking a few times, it was not midnight, and when he turned around, he saw that this man was already sleeping soundly lying on the side.

Afterwards, the man simply came consciously holding the quilt.Simply don't bother to take the quilt back.

Then simply eat and live here.All the attendants, including Xie Lv's personal bodyguard, Xiao Luo, and the various maids and maids in the house, all gave expressions of "understanding".

With the "favor" blessing of General Zhenyuan, Murongzhi's life here can be described as the most extravagant meal in his life.

Not to mention that the fabric of the clothes is unbelievably slippery and soft, just say that the layout of the room is exquisite and fragrant every day, and the three meals are indescribably delicious cooked by skillful chefs. The jokes that the maid casually said made him feel hot, and he, who had always been ascetic, finally fully understood the so-called "from thrift to extravagance" that he had read earlier in the book.

And Xie Li.No matter how busy he is, he will eat with him, and Xie Lu is around all day.

What he clearly thought before was that anyway, he had wiped out his past, and this time he would not have any expectations for him anyway.It doesn't matter, after all, this remaining life, just live one day at a time.

Now Murong Zhi doesn't know if he has any expectations for that person.

But he is very clear—whether it is waking up every morning and seeing the sleeping faces of the people around him, or the hot water provided by the maid with a smile when washing, special gingerbread and specialty fruits that he has never eaten before, Or maybe it's just a speck of light leaking through a carved window frame.Every day, there is always a little bit of gratifying thing that suddenly appears around him at an unknown time, and it will always make him confirm this idea again at the moment of his heart. It would be great if the days... could go on like this up.

However, every time I thought about it, it never came true.

This time I don't know how I will step into the void again.It would be a lie to say that he is not guilty, but Murong Zhi has learned to comfort himself recently - anyway, he has fallen from heights so many times in his life, at worst, he just falls to his death, so what?

What's more, it's Xie Lu... This kind of thing is simply his destined nemesis.By his side, it's not a big deal at all if you don't get bloody all the time, right?

Thinking of this, he turned over, but suddenly met Xie Lv's eyes, staring at him wide open in the darkness.

"What are you doing? It's scary!"

This person is not asleep yet?
