36. Chapter 36
Qin Miaoyu is a native of Goguryeo. She didn't even call this name.
From the king to the upper class, most of Goguryeo was proficient in Central Plains culture. She was adopted since she was a child and was taught various martial arts with purpose, including the skills of seducing men. At the age of twelve, she was told that there would be a task that she would need to complete, that is, to come to the Central Plains dynasty thousands of miles away, pretending to be a local, and lurking until there was a new task.
At that time, Goguryeo and the Central Plains had been vassals of powerful dynasties in the Central Plains since the Qin and Han Dynasties. They even received the titles of several generations of emperors. However, as Goguryeo gradually became stronger and wars in the Central Plains were raging, and the contradictions between the two became increasingly greater. Goguryeo was no longer willing to bow down to his ministers, and the contradictions began to grow. It was in this situation that Qin Miaoyu, together with Su Xing, was sent to Liugong City as a memorial. She also knew that there would also be memorable in the Central Plains in Goguryeo. People like them might be unknown throughout their lives, and might die at a certain moment.
Although Liugong City is a small border town, it connects to the western regions such as Khotan and Qiemo in the west, to the Turks in the north, and to the inner abdomen in the east, and to the sensitive and subtle location. This place was chosen in Goguryeo because of its unique special nature that it is even more important than the prosperous places such as Luoyang and Yuhang.
In the fourth year she came to the Central Plains, she gradually became familiar with life here. The family she lived in, the mistress’s surname was Qin. She believed in her carefully forged identity and loved her as her niece. The family also had a son who was about the same age as Qin Miaoyu. Qin Miaoyu called him his cousin. The other party was upright and treated Qin Miaoyu very well. Qin's aunt even intended to match them together, but Qin Miaoyu had always refused intentionally or unintentionally. She knew that she could not have a child like an ordinary person for a simple life.
Finally, Yuchi Jinwu, who was still the nephew of the King of Khotan, came to Liugong City. Su Xing asked Qin Miaoyu to try to marry Yuchi Jinwu and accompany him back to Khotan, because Su Xing believed that with the power of the Duke Yang Jian at that time, he would inevitably seize power and become emperor in the future. Once the new dynasty was established, Yang Jian would be enterprising and would inevitably have conflicts with neighboring countries. As a small country in the Western Regions, Khotan was small and had an important position, and might become an important piece in the game of a great power.
Qin Miaoyu had no way to refute her. At that time, she was alone in Liugong City. When it came to her martial arts and identity, she was awake. She could only follow the other party's orders and create an opportunity to "meet" Yuchi Jinwu. The other party was shocked and immediately proposed to take her as a concubine. Her aunt's family strongly opposed it, and they all believed that Yuchi Jinwu was not a good match. Her "cousin" even drove away Yuchi Jinwu who came to propose marriage. However, Qin Miaoyu insisted on it. In the end, they could only think that she loved vanity and yearned for vanity, but she had no choice but to let her get married.
Since then, she has never returned to Liugong City and met the Qin family who treats her very well.
After all, Yuchi Jinwu is the nephew of the King of Khotan, and no matter how you say it is, he is also a prince and noble. Qin Miaoyu's life in Khotan is naturally much better than in Liugong City. He naturally has no shortage of rich clothes and delicious food, but she often thinks of the family far away in Liugong City.
In any case, Qin Miaoyu knew that she could never go back. She had never given up her martial arts in private. Even though her martial arts were still very low, she could only be among the third-rate masters in the Central Plains at most. However, in this world where strength is respected, this is the only way for her to get rid of the constraints.
Yuchi Jinwu Yutian had already married his wife and had several beautiful concubines. However, because Qin Miaoyu was both beautiful and artistic, he was favored for several years. Until Yuchi Jinwu was appointed as an envoy by the King of Khotan and went to the Central Plains to pay tribute, he was softly said by Qin Miaoyu and immediately agreed to take his beloved concubine with him. But he probably wouldn't have thought that this trip would become his desperate journey.
The moment Su Xing cut the throat of Yuchi Jinwu, blood sprayed on Qin Miaoyu's face. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaimed in a low voice, but was stopped impatiently by Su Xing. The other party roared: "Shut up, do you want to attract more people! Go and solve the two maids!"
After he said that, he left Qin Miaoyu and went to deal with the remaining Yutian entourage.
Those people are guards of King Khotan, and I am not an ordinary person in the country, but in a place full of talents like the Central Plains, it is a bit too much to see. Qin Miaoyu found that his martial arts that he had been practicing hard for several years could only solve the mediocre people in the team. If he wanted to fight Su Xing, he would probably not be able to pass ten moves.
Realizing this fact, she instantly threw away the trace of guilt of reluctance to Yuchi Jinwu and felt the desire to take the jade courage for herself.
Yuchi Jinwu loved her very much and once told her a secret: this time, there were not one jade galls in Tianchi that were brought out of Khotan, but two.
Before seeing the real jade gall, many people would believe in the fake jade gall. In fact, the fake jade gall is also a real beautiful jade, but it was discovered on a mountain not far from the real jade gall at that time, and it was not as incomparable as the real jade gall. It was unique and full of light. King Khotan presented the two jade galls to the Emperor of Sui, intending to express his sincerity. Shortly before the assassination, Yuchi Jinwu even told Qin Miaoyu where the two jade galls were placed.
When he learned more of such a message than Su Xing, Qin Miaoyu boldly concealed Su Xing and gave him the fake jade gall. He hid the real jade gall, first pretending to go back to the city with Su Xing, and then secretly turning back, getting the real jade gall, and then returning to the city to hide.
Qin Miaoyu did not forget the legend of Tianchi Jade Gallery. It can cut down tendons and suck marrow, and the temptation to increase its power was too great. Even she couldn't help but try it. After trying various methods, she finally discovered that on the full moon night, the Jade Gallery was exposed to the moonlight, and used its power to the palm, and could sense the jade Gallery and get a little bit of internal strength cleansing. After a few times, Qin Miaoyu completely understood the secret of Jade Gallery. She felt like she had a treasure and practiced her internal skills day and night. At that time, Qiao Xian and Changsun Boti followed the clues to come to the door, and there was a killer on the thirteenth floor of Yunhai who rushed out of it, trying to take her life. Qin Miaoyu pretended to be unable to defeat him. After Qiao Xian and the other two forced the killer to retreat, they escaped from them.
At that time, she also wanted to try her martial arts progress, but the result was naturally surprising. You should know that a few days ago, she was just a third-rate skill, but now her internal strength has increased visible to the naked eye. It can be seen that the jade gallbladder is indeed extraordinary. In time, she will definitely be able to absorb all the energy in the jade gallbladder and become one of the first-class experts.
But there was not much time left for Qin Miaoyu. Although she escaped from Qiao Xian and Changsun, she was still seriously injured and had to continue hiding in the city to recuperate. When Feng Xiao got her three hiding places from Su Xing, she happened to come out of the back door of the house that should have been the most secret, except Su Xing, and was planning to venture to the city gate, pretending to be a widow who had visited the city, and leaving with the caravan that had been in contact with him.
Qin Miaoyu had already decided that if she could escape successfully this time, the vast sky would be wide, she would no longer be a Goguryeo work, nor would she obey anyone. She would have to live upright and openly. As herself, whether she was called Qin Miaoyu or another name, she would never live for others. With the courage in her hand, even Su Xing could not command her anymore. In addition, she could persuade Su Xing to get rid of everything now and follow her to leave.
But her plan was completely shattered when she saw a man standing under a tree not far from the back door and smiling at her.
That was an extremely handsome man.
Qin Miaoyu thought she had seen many markets, but this was the first time she had seen her as handsome as she was in front of her.
But the feeling this man brought her was not the girl's heartbeat, but the terror and fear.
It is an intuition that only martial artists can perceive when facing powerful enemies.
Tianchi Jade Gallbladder improved her cultivation and also improved her sense of danger.
The handsome man smiled and said, "Miss Qin, I have heard of his name for a long time, and I can see him today. It turns out that his natural beauty is not inferior to the famous flowers in the world."
Qin Miaoyu calmed down and smiled: "I don't know your honorable name?"
The man said, "Although your name sounds nice, my name sounds much better than you."
This is the first time Qin Miaoyu has encountered a man talking to her like this. The other party admires her eyes, but it is not the kind of approval of beauty at all, as if he is just a slightly beautiful flower in front of him.
"My name is Fengxiao." She heard the other party say so.
Qin Miaoyu felt a stern heart, which brought not the sigh of whether the name sounded good or not, but the vigilance of this person's identity.
"It turns out that he is the husband of Jiejian Mansion." Qin Miaoyu was very aware of the situation. Before the other party could express his intention, she curled her bow and told the story, "I guess the husband has found Su Xing. Su Xing has told you everything, right? I do have Tianchi jade gall in my hand, and I can also return it to Zhao intact, but I have nothing else to ask for, I only ask for one thing for my husband."
Feng Xiao stood with his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "No one can talk to me about the conditions."
Qin Miaoyu smiled bitterly: "My husband misunderstood. Miaoyu's life is now in your hands. How dare you talk about the conditions? Miaoyu just wants to tell her that in the suburbs that day, the lives of Yuchi Jinwu and others were taken by Su Xing. I only killed those two maids. If I didn't take action at that time, Su Xing would have killed them. If I didn't take the Tianchi jade gall, that piece of jade gall would have been sent to Goguryeo by Su Xing long ago."
Feng Xiao looked at the other person for the first time.
He found that this woman was very smart. She neither asked herself to spare her life nor let her go of freedom. Instead, she stated what happened that day, and wanted to move people with reason and distance herself from her relationship.
I guess she had already discovered that Feng Xiao was not a person who was fascinated by beauty, and would not let her go easily. She could only take a different approach and find another way.
Feng Xiao: "Why do people in Goguryeo need jade courage?"
Qin Miaoyu did not hesitate to hide it, and said without thinking: "I am not very clear, but I heard from Su Xing that King Goguryeo is now suffering from strange diseases and medicine is inseparable from the doctor. I am afraid it is related to this."
Feng Xiao was simply satisfied with her pleasure. Compared to Su Xing, this woman was indeed smarter and more conscious of the current affairs. If she had not been betrayed by her accomplices, she might have really let her get out of the city and go into the sea like a fish.
"Where is the jade gall?" Feng Xiao asked.
Qin Miaoyu took off the embroidery bag from his waist, took out a piece of jade from it, and handed it to Fengxiao with caution.
The jade is only the size of a palm, and its body is crystal clear. A touch of green is slowly flowing in the sun, like life.
Before seeing it, Feng Xiao might think that the jade he took from Linlang Pavilion before was also rare and beautiful, but after seeing this jade gut, he could immediately tell the difference.
The thing in front of you is the real Tianchi jade gallbladder.
Feng Xiao: "Why is it so small?"
Qin Miaoyu looked at him carefully and said carefully: "I heard that this thing has the effect of practicing qigong, so I tried it with it."
She could not say anything, but Feng Xiao might not know that since his life is in the hands of the other party, it would be better to let go completely and tell the truth.
Qin Miaoyu didn't know that her behavior was smart and received a clever evaluation from Feng Xiao. Seeing that the other party never came to pick up the jade gall, she thought the other party was afraid of what he had done on the jade gall, so she hurriedly said, "Feng Langjun, the witty words are like the flesh of a knife and a pedestal. She would never dare to do any clever and tricks."
Feng Xiao's mouth twitched for a moment, and finally took over the jade gall with his hand.
The moment Jade Gai bought it, he felt a coldness.
It was an indescribable feeling, just like the whole person suddenly penetrated into the glacier without feeling any discomfort. Instead, a trace of coolness penetrated from his limbs and bones into his heart, and the spiritual platform was clear and bright, as if he was helped by God.
But at that moment, Feng Xiao didn't think of how magical this jade gall was, but that he had to take it back and hand it over. Anyone who liked to take the jade gall that had been stained with the mung bean cake in the corpse's mouth would go and get it. Anyway, he would never touch it again if he was beaten to death.
