Chapter 8: Banyan Tree and Sunset

"Three years ago, it was the tribute ceremony once every ten years in Zhao State..."

Above Nanzhou, there are dozens of countries of all sizes. Although there are frequent frictions between them, no country is strong enough to take over Nanzhou.

Although Zhao State is much different from Rong State and Feng State, it is not considered weak.

A hundred years ago, it was said that gods opened up the sky and helped Zhao build the capital in the wilderness of the mountains and wilderness. Since then, the mountains have become natural dangers. There are often legends of gods building their own thieves and practicing, which can be regarded as the reliance of Zhao State.

During the high ceremony three years ago, all countries had envoys. At that time, Nanzhou was not peaceful. Rong and Rong were competing against each other. Zhao's territory was just bordering on both sides, so Zhao's position was particularly difficult.

That time, Rongguo's second prince was accompanied by Rongguo's mission.

Among the younger princes of various countries, the second prince of Rong was the most amazing. He successfully practiced when he was seven years old. According to legend, a great immortal master on the mountain designated him as his personal disciple early, and this time he went on an envoy was his last trip to the world before climbing the mountain to practice Taoism.

"Why did you choose Zhao State?" Ning Changjiu asked as she listened to her introduction.

The woman smiled: "Because it is said that there is a girl in Zhao State who is younger and more talented than him, and that girl is the daughter of the Son of God."

Ning Changjiu asked: "Zhao Xianger?"

"Yes." The woman said: "He came to Zhao State because he wanted to meet Zhao Xianger."

Ning Changjiu asked: "She is really so powerful?"

The woman said, "In fact, no one has ever seen a lady fight before. At that time, the lady was still a wild girl. The place we see most often is in the wild forest and on the roof, and her clothes are always dirty. Now, it should be the rumor deliberately spread by the country of Ze, in order to arouse the second prince of Rong and let them fight. After all, the lady is nominally the daughter of the Son of God. If she loses to the Prince of Rong, her face will always be damaged."

Ning Changjiu asked: "Then have they met?"

The woman nodded: "At that time, the lady was sitting on the big banyan tree watching the sunset. The second prince accidentally saw her, not knowing that she was the His Highness he was looking for."

Ning Changjiu smiled and said, "It's a bit like a story, then what?"

The woman's lips tilted slightly, her eyes were briefly out of focus, and she recalled: "Then the second prince was obsessed with it and was fascinated by it. After thinking about competing with the girl named Zhao Xianger, she asked for a marriage letter and married the girl who had a glimpse of her.

Ning smiled for a long time.

The woman couldn't help laughing: "Miss has never been concerned about the world, so she doesn't know these things. The next day the second prince came to challenge and injured many guards outside the hall. Then the lady put her hands on her hips and ran out of the inside, pointing at the second prince and asking, 'You're making trouble'?"

"The second prince was also stunned. He never thought that the little girl with a shocking side was the little prince who lived in the legendary Qianyu Hall. He immediately stopped and wanted to express his feelings, but the lady didn't say a word and directly fought angrily."

Speaking of this, the woman seemed to be immersed in the memory, and ignored the small hairpin in front of her nose and laughed tremblingly.

Ning Changjiu also found it interesting and asked, "What about it?"

"What happened later was very simple. Originally, the second prince and the lady fought alone, but after only less than ten moves, all the masters of the second prince's entourage were forced to move together... I have never seen such a lady. She was like lightning through the dark clouds, thrillingly bright. No one could imagine that she was a thirteen-year-old girl."

"In the end, the second prince and his seven accompanying masters were injured and defeated. In the end, his shadow guard was exposed and stopped the lady's next move. The shadow guard was the sword master of the Rong Kingdom's sword saint. In that battle, the sword sheath was smashed by the lady."

"The stone steps in front of the Ganyu Hall that day were shattered. The lady was half of her body was covered in blood. She stood there without the joy of victory, and her face was full of confusion. Then she said indifferently, then turned back to the palace. Since then, we have never seen that crazy and stupid wild girl again. When we see her occasionally, she has a decent dress and a quiet and elegant look, just like a real lady."

Ning listened quietly for a long time and asked, "What did she say?"

...

...

National Master's Mansion.

The only few candles were lit up desolately, the wooden doors, tables and chairs were all dark in color, square and heavy in piers, and the whole room looked like a lantern about to be extinguished. Even the pines, cypresses and cranes on the screen had no sense of being out of the world, but instead had a sense of depression like a prisoner.

A girl in white dress sat at a square and honest wooden table, looking at the old man with gray hair and simple clothes:

"Teacher, I've taken the medicine."

The corners of the girl's mouth curled up, and the little yellow flower between her sleeves was quiet but bright.

She handed over a bowl of thick soup.

The old man looked at the medicine soup and his expression trembled.

"Xiang'er...why is this?"

Zhao Xianger looked calm: "I'm afraid you will cause trouble, so I have to look at you."

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "I have only you as a student in my life, so how could I harm you?"

Zhao Xianger asked: "That twenty days ago, why did you stand by and watch?"

The old man said helplessly: "This is the general trend, what can I do?"

"It's the general trend again!" Zhao Xianger sneered: "Without my mother, you will never be a national teacher in your life. If you do such a rebellious thing, you will never repent at this moment?"

The old man shook his head: "After all, I am the national teacher of Zhao, and I inherited the fate of Zhao. Naturally, I want to save the Empress, but I must not watch the fate of Zhao break down!"

Zhao Xianger said: "It's almost broken."

The old man slapped the table suddenly and said angrily: "If it weren't for the incident three years ago, why would the Zhao State be in the current situation?"

Three years ago, Zhao Xianger defeated the swordsman of Rongguo with one against eight, and even broke the Taoist heart of the second prince of Rongguo.

Since then, Rong and Zhao have broken apart, and the country of Feng took this opportunity to start a war with Zhao.

"You ruined the State of Zhao!" The old man's fists kept trembling.

Zhao Xianger shook her head gently: "You will never understand that Zhao State with your mother is Zhao State. Otherwise, when the emperor died ten years ago, Zhao would have destroyed the country."

She stood up, her figure was straight and out. She looked at the old man with an angry face and smiled faintly:

"The cause I caused you have caused you, and this is ultimately because I am ashamed of you, but if time went back three years ago, I would still do that."

When the old man became the national teacher, he took over the national destiny of Zhao. In just three years, a middle-aged man with high spirits turned into a half-white old man.

How could he not hate him?

"Why?" he asked in a trembling voice: "Do you think you can kill all those who oppose you, as well as spies and assassins from the Kingdom of Shi? What's more, as far as I know, you are seriously injured now!"

Zhao Xianger shook her head gently, but her eyes became brighter:

"Three years ago, if I had received that marriage letter, I might have been able to exchange for more than ten years of peace in Zhao State, but that would have no meaning and I don't like it either. Sir, if you have inherited the fate of Zhao State, you would not know what Zhao State was dragging forward with some things, right? A hundred years ago, although Zhao State had promised to establish a country with such an immortal, it would eventually be backfired..."

The old man looked at her in shock, listened slowly to her words, and then figured it out little by little, but the more he understood, the more he was shocked:

"Xiang'er...what are you going to do?!"

Zhao Xianger restrained her murderous intent and smiled softly, "Teacher, take medicine, you and I will fight each other for a teacher and student after all, I will not kill you..."

She paused, her expression dazed, and her voice seemed to sigh: "I'm watching the sunset from Your Highness, why are you bothering me?"

I am watching the sunset at Your Highness, why do you bother me?

This was her question three years ago in front of Ganyu Hall. No one replied at that time, but she seemed to answer like a bloody sun.

Since then, she has been honored as His Highness.

Now the Ganyu Hall has been burned to ruins.

She ignores the world, but the world always disturbs her.

"I hope you don't want to be like them."

She made a call to the old man.

In the shaking lights, the old man trembled and picked up the medicine bowl, stared at it for a moment, sighed, and drank it all.

That was the medicine to close the spiritual sea, and after drinking it, I was no longer able to intervene.

...

...

"I watched the sunset at Your Highness, haha... your ladies are really extraordinary, what about later?"

"Later, twenty days ago, everyone surrounded Ganyu Palace under the name of attacking the witch, and the lady was also intercepted and killed on the way back to Beijing. It is said that there was also the third-ranked assassin in the country of Feng. Fortunately, the lady was back eventually."

"What is the task your lady has assigned you?" Ning Changjiu continued to ask.

"I can only say this." The woman looked sharp: "Miss and Empress are the people I respect most in my life. I will never betray the lady. You don't have to mess with my words."

Ning Changjiu said: "You must answer me."

The woman smiled and said, "You little Taoist priest are really unreasonable. Why should I answer you?"

Ning Changjiu said: "Because your array has not been deployed yet."

The woman's pupils suddenly shrank, and her hand hiding under the brocade quilt and secretly slashed the formation could not help but stagnate. She stared at Ning Changjiu coldly, "Who are you?"

Ning Changjiu did not answer and continued to ask: "Why do you want to kill me? Is it your lady's instructions?"

The woman sneered: "If the master doesn't say it, the servant should also do things cleanly, right, Taoist priest?"

Ning Changjiu nodded: "Something makes sense."

The woman said curiously: "You know, why haven't you stopped me?"

Ning Changjiu said: "Let me see your formation, I won't bother you."

How dare this person be so arrogant...

The woman's expression was shocked, she felt a sense of absurdity, and she sneered, but the movements in her hands did not stop for a moment.

Since you give me a chance, don't blame me.

The spiritual power surged between the fingers, and the formation was only the last time. The woman corrected her mind, and the spiritual power was poured down.

The woman's back was already wet, but her body finally relaxed and was extremely relaxed.

The formation drawn with thrilling moments was so refreshing, the last stroke was so refreshing.

Under the floor in the house, there seemed to be a bright light seeping out. The light was extremely thin and fast, like a knife cutting it. It was Ning Long as the center of the circle, and it lit up in a flash, and a complex and beautiful small array appeared in the house.

She was confident that this extremely time-consuming and labor-consuming formation could not be escaped even if the witch master came in person. At this time, she was absolutely taking the initiative whether it was negotiation or killing.

At the same time, the girl's cry for help was faintly heard outside the window.

That was Ning Xiaoling's voice.

There was also a move there.

"Either show your sincerity or die."
