Chapter 11 Old Love Reunites(1/2)
An Nuanzhi secretly decided that she would not sit idly by.
She treats Xiao Qi like a biological sister. Xiao Qi has taken care of her for so long. There is no credit but hard work. No matter what, she will help Xiao Qi find a better home. Even if she can't find Ruan Qing, she will at least find a comparable one.
A rich man can allow her to live a life without worries about food and clothing.
"Mother, there is a village ahead. Should we take a rest first?" Xiaoqi opened the curtain of the sedan, and there was a bustle of people. It seemed that we had arrived at a more prosperous place.
"Okay." An Nuanzhi nodded and ordered the 100,000 troops to rest for a night before continuing their journey tomorrow.
One hundred thousand people and horses camped in the village. At night, the torches illuminated the night, making it look like day.
An Nuanzhi couldn't sleep and tossed around in the tent. She took out the scroll again and looked at it carefully. She was used to taking it out and looking at it when she had nothing to do, and would often chat with the scroll.
Looking at the relatively ancient patterns on it, An Nuanzhi said softly.
"Scrolls, scrolls, they all say that lovers will eventually get married, but General Ruan disappeared without any explanation, and Xiaoqi has been waiting for him silently. I really hope it will be fine if Ruan Qing comes back one day!......
"
The scroll did not respond. At first glance, it looked like a silent piece of rotten wood.
An Nuanzhi was quite disappointed. She originally thought that her words could bring back some kind of reaction from the scroll. After all, the last time she spoke her true feelings to it, the thing had emitted a bright blue light and flashed slightly for two seconds.
Next, I didn’t expect that this time this thing wouldn’t even flicker.
An Nuanzhi sighed, forget it, maybe this scroll doesn't understand the relationship between men and women at all. She put the scroll aside and fell asleep.
She always slept very well, and it was not an exaggeration to say she slept like a baby, so she did not notice that while she was sleeping, the scroll was rising in the air little by little, rising, and was on her forehead.
It quickly spun twice and then flew out.
When it was almost dawn, the scroll flew back again, as if nothing had happened, and lay quietly beside An Nuanzhi's hand.
Early in the morning, before An Nuanzhi woke up, she was awakened by the noise outside.
An Nuanzhi rubbed her groggy eyes and called Xiaoqi for a long time, but there was no response. She simply washed up and walked out.
When she went out, she saw Xiaoqi standing in front of the crowd with a red face, her head lowered and not speaking, as if she was very shy.
An Nuanzhi was feeling surprised, what happened to Xiaoqi? It's rare to see her look so girly! An Nuanzhi was puzzled and looked over her line of sight, and saw a tall man in his fifties.
The man, who was wearing a blue robe, was exceptionally handsome, well-maintained, and not overweight. He stared at Xiaoqi infatuatedly, his eyes like water.
"Ruan Qing?"
An Nuanzhi was so surprised!
How is this possible? She just mentioned Ruan Qing to the scroll last night, and Ruan Qing showed up. Isn't it a coincidence?
Illusion, right?
An Nuanzhi rubbed his eyes, but the scene in front of him was still there. Because he was too shocked, An Nuanzhi returned to the room and sat on the bedside in a daze.
Stunned, An Nuanzhi saw the scroll at her feet. She picked it up and looked at it carefully. Could it be a unique treasure? It could fulfill any wish she had.
It's impossible... An Nuanzhi still didn't believe it. But when she touched the scroll, she realized why the scroll that was dry yesterday suddenly became wet, but there was no water in this tent? There was no water on the scroll.
Where does water come from?
An Nuanzhi picked it up and examined it carefully, and found tiny traces of petals and weeds on it. She thought carefully, could it be that the scroll flew out with its long legs and brought Ruan Qing here overnight?
An Nuanzhi had mixed feelings in her heart. If this was really the case, this scroll would be an artifact!
Not only can it respond to what she says, it can also fulfill her wishes!
The discovery of this new world made An Nuanzhi very excited. She originally thought that this kind of plot appeared in novels and movies, but it actually happened in front of her.
However, in order to verify the authenticity of this matter, An Nuanzhi still wanted to confirm it. She wiped the water drops on the scroll and asked him seriously.
"Scroll, scroll, tell me, was it you who brought Ruan Qing?"
The scroll seemed to be responding to her as it emitted blue light again and flashed twice as if it was blinking. It actually gave an affirmative answer!
An Nuanzhi is really about to jump for joy now...
She held the scroll with both hands, stroking its body excitedly, "You are such a treasure! Thank you!"
The scroll flashed again as if to cater to it. This time it was not a blue light, but a warm orange-red light. An Nuanzhi was dumbfounded. Could it be that this little scroll also likes to be praised by others? And it uses different words.
The colors represent different moods?
How amazing!
An Nuanzhi was immersed in a very happy mood, but she soon returned to calm. Because everything cannot be too optimistic, and she also shoulders a heavy mission...
After putting away the scroll, An Nuan weaved the tent. She looked around and was surrounded by a vast expanse of green. It was so beautiful that she felt like she was in heaven.
This kind of scenery can make a person sad and full of fantasy about the future.
The three-year appointment has arrived. As long as she takes these 100,000 people to find the Qianqiu Emperor's Mausoleum, the secrets she has hidden for so many years will be revealed, so her mood at this moment is very complicated.
On the one hand, she felt anxious and embarrassed as the ending was approaching; on the other hand, she felt relieved, after all, the final moment was coming soon.
Thoughtfully, An Nuanzhi stood and stared, but she did not realize that she had become a scenery in another person's eyes...
After An Nuanzhi left, a man about thirty years old shook his folding fan and looked at An Nuanzhi's figure dreamingly. There seemed to be two precious gems hidden in his big, gentle eyes.
The flow of waves turns slowly, glowing little by little...
It can be seen from his eyes that he is not human.
His voice was also very beautiful and dedicated, just like the sound of the flute reverberating in the air at night. He said word by word, "Xiao Nuanzhi, remember what I said three years ago, I, Xuan Ai, am still
You'an's fate is in your hands. You have to make the right choice, otherwise we will all disappear from this world..."
On the ancient pavilion road, a palace is hidden in the dusk, and the laughter of women inside is particularly harsh.
Emperor Anguo ignored the affairs of the state and concentrated on the rumors of beauty. The ministers were helpless and tried many times to no avail. Most of them had already discussed resigning and returning home together to put pressure on Lan Nian'an.
"Your Majesty, which one tastes better, the grapes or the concubines?" came a delicate female voice, and a nearly naked woman leaned in Lan Nian'an's arms, squirming and giggling.
All the ministers who came to the morning court turned their attention aside without exception. Such a sexual scene was a strong stimulus to many people.
Lan Nian'an pursed his lips tightly, waiting for the last cannonball to be completely released. He coldly pushed the woman under him away and glanced blankly for a week. The little eunuch next to him then understood what he meant and hurriedly said loudly.
"If you have something to report, please leave the court if nothing happens!"
The ministers were already red-faced, and a few old-fashioned ministers had already buried their heads in their waists. The Dragon Palace was completely silent. Who still had the heart to play?
Just when the chief eunuch announced his resignation from the court, "The general has something to say——" the little eunuch outside the palace announced.
Lan Nian'an narrowed his eyes and waved his powerful hand carelessly, "Let him come in!"
"Yes!" The little eunuch retreated. Not long after, General Xu came in holding a memorial with Shang Fang's sword on top. He knelt down and bowed three times.
"Your Majesty, I want to retire and return home! Please approve it!" General Xu's eyes were firm, even though he had followed Lan Nian'an for many years.
"So are you!" Other ministers who had been prepared also kowtowed. On the surface, these people hoped that Lan Nian would let them return to their fields and return home. In fact, they just wanted to find an excuse to put pressure on Lan Nian and let Lan Nian.
An specializes in psychology.
Lan Nianan smiled slightly, how could he not understand the thoughts of these ministers!
"Okay! Since you strongly request it, I will do it!"
"You are all old, please retire and return to your hometown!" Lan Nian'an answered simply. He stood up and left the throne without hesitation, leaving behind a bunch of stunned ministers.
The ministers were dumbfounded. They thought that Lan Nian'an would retain them to some extent. After all, they were the elders of the court and heroes of the founding of the country. However, they did not expect that they would be kicked out so easily. It was pitiful for these ministers who were nearly a century old.
We are all here. The mute can’t tell you how hard it is to eat Coptis chinensis. He obviously didn’t want to retire and return to his hometown, but now he has to...
Lan Nian'an ignored their reactions and entered the inner hall with his clothes wide open. At this time, several beauties waiting there came to greet him, undressed him, massaged him, and tried their best to please him.
Lannian An was proud of everything. He squinted his eyes and enjoyed the service of the beauties. His eyes were thousands of times colder than before...
The beauties tried their best to please him, but he remained unmoved.
At this time, a man in white robe walked in from outside. "Bai Zhao, see the emperor. Long live the emperor."
Lan Nian'an opened her eyes slightly, looked at the man in white robes for a few seconds, and then said slowly, "Are you here to join in the fun and tell me that you are going to retire and return home?"
Bai Zhao quickly shook his head, "I don't dare. I know my own weight and I don't dare to use such ridiculous reasons to blackmail the emperor."
Lan Nianan was silent. Bai Zhao was his confidant who had been with him for the longest time and knew him best. In the past, no matter what ridiculous and excessive things he did, Bai Zhao would always give him good advice. Is he very unusual today?
Lan Nianan let go of a beautiful woman in his arms and stared at Bai Zhao, "You are self-aware! Tell me, what do you want to do here?"
Bai Zhao was overjoyed. Lan Nianan finally started to get down to business, and his hard work was not in vain.
Bai Zhao lowered his breath and said respectfully, "Reporting to the emperor, Yuhan, the governor of the court, sent an urgent message saying that a team of about 100,000 people is approaching the palace for an unknown purpose."
"Really?" Lan Nian'an's cynical look just now finally turned serious. He has not interfered with government affairs for half a month. Although a hundred thousand troops are not many, they are enough to threaten the safety of the imperial capital.
He asked seriously, "What's the reason for the investigation?"
Bai Zhao replied, "It is said that these are the 100,000 horses that Yelu Hao lost before! I heard that these 100,000 horses were deceived by the proprietress of a herbal tea shop on the day Yelu Hao married Mrs. Xin Yazhai."
"The famous number one devil was deceived by a little woman and defrauded 100,000 men!?" Lan Nian'an's eyes flashed with interest, and he snorted coldly. It was unclear what he was thinking...
…
Bai Zhao didn't dare to disturb him, he just knelt silently, waiting for Lan Nian'an to speak.
Lan Nian'an pushed away the women around him, stood up, and said confidently, "Bai Zhao, go and prepare your horse. I will come out in person tomorrow to see who the woman who deceived the most powerful demon in Anguo is.
To be continued...
