Queen Flower

The four of them didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere was weird.

"Go in and talk." Wen Daolin said calmly, opened the courtyard door, and invited them in, "Xiaozhu, go and fasten the horse."

"Okay." Jiang Lan could not ask for it, as long as he left this scene, the sooner the better, he turned around and went to lead the horse.

The four entered the courtyard one after another. They didn't enter the house, because Wen Daolin's house had no living room, four bamboo houses, two bedrooms for the master and apprentice, one for the study, and one for the kitchen and dining room.

When Jiang Lan finished his work, he looked back and saw that the three of them were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

There are still three tribunals? Jiang Lan wanted to hide in his room immediately. She shouldn't have anything to do here, right, let her dodge. She could hide in the past and this life suspected of hitting a mistress, not to mention she was suspected of being a mistress.

"Master, talk to me, I'm going to boil some water." Jiang Lan made an excuse, and it was terrible. He hadn't even touched the stove for two years, so he really didn't know how to make a fire.

"No, come here." Wen Daolin stopped her.

"Xiaoqing, go and boil some water." Shangguanhong waved to the girl behind.

Jiang Lan was infinitely sad, so he walked over and sat down. Wen Daolin, why can't you let me go? What does this have to do with me? Isn't this something between you two? What are you doing to me.

Jiang Lan was a little trembling when she sat there. It felt uncomfortable to be a light bulb in the middle. She really wanted to become smaller and disappear. It would be great if she was still a child now.

Wen Daolin didn't look at Jiang Lan again, he looked at Shangguan Hong with a serious face, and put the two pieces of residual jade on the round table, "My master once told me that this piece of jade is a token, and my relatives will come to me in the future. ."

"Yes," Shangguan Hong took her own piece and looked at it, "this jade pendant was originally a waist ornament worn by Her Majesty the Queen. You were not born that year. I was naughty and accidentally broke this jade pendant. My mother was very frightened, but the queen said it was okay, and gave me half a piece, saying that it would be better if I grow up and give it to the child in her womb."

She stopped, glanced at Jiang Lan next to her, and then looked at Wen Daolin, "Jun Wu joking, I have always remembered it, and I have never dared to forget it for 20 years."

Wen Daolin's hand was clenched tightly, almost crushing the jade in his hand.

"Also, we are destined to be together, do you know that?" Shangguanhong raised the jade pendant in her hand and looked at the sun, "Because of this jade pendant, it is not only a token of Her Majesty the Queen. ."

She paused, and when both of them looked at her, she continued, "I don't know if you've heard of it, there is a legend in our country that the Queen's Flower Shows the Heaven's Gate, and these jade pendants together are the Celestial Dynasty. The only Queen's print."

She looked around smugly and increased her tone, "Don't you want to go back, don't you want to avenge your parents, Murong Xiling, His Royal Highness, our great prince."

Wen Daolin sat there as still as a statue.

Jiang Lan faintly felt that his background was unusual. She guessed that he might be the heir of a fallen family or something, but she really didn't expect that he would be the prince of the disappeared country. In such a barren mountain and ridge, a prince lives alone, and he picks up a strange child, living a puritanical life every day. The most important thing is that he is not the prince of the Celestial Dynasty or any nearby small country. He is the prince of the Nvzun Kingdom, which is said to be the enemy of the Celestial Dynasty, and has disappeared without a trace twenty years ago.

This prince, who lives incognito in the enemy country, has only thought about it for 20 years, leaving a flower print in the city every time he enters the city, and then waiting for the appearance of his family.

Xiaoxi God, it turns out that there is a master who is more tormented than himself.

For a while, Jiang Lan's heart was full of sympathy.

"Although I have lived in the Nanman Kingdom for the past few years, the position of Zhengfu has been reserved for you. I hope you understand that we are the last hope of the country. We have to overcome difficulties together, and we have to open the way home together." Shangguanhong's righteous words.

After he finished speaking, he waited for Wen Daolin to express his position.

Jiang Lan felt that Shangguanhong was undoubtedly a very provocative orator, and even she was about to be persuaded to sayyes, and she was indeed a woman of the Nvzunguo. Look at how brainy people are, first use true feelings for people, and then realize the righteousness of the country, from the personal love of children to the survival of the nation, the people are living in dire straits, if you don't agree, you will be sorry for your parents and sorry for the people.

But Wen Daolin still did not speak.

"I hope you can come with me, at least it will be better than you are now." Shangguanhong glanced at Jiang Lan, "You can also take your apprentice with you, and you won't leave her behind. Think about it. Think about it." After speaking, she stood up and walked out the door.

Wen Daolin was silent, and Jiang Lan stayed by his side without speaking.

After a long while, he spoke, his voice a little confused, "I have been living here with my master since I can remember. The master has been seriously injured and has been in bad health. He named me, taught me martial arts, and lived with me. When he was nine years old, his condition deteriorated and he died, and he told me just before he died that I was the prince of Zunguo, Murong Xiling, he was just my bodyguard, and Wen Daolin was just a pseudonym."

He said slowly, "Actually, I have never thought of myself as a prince, and I don't know what happened back then. The master said, "Zun Guo rebelled, my parents disappeared, and he was holding me in my baby." After leaving Tianmen and fleeing into the Celestial Dynasty, he became separated from others, and after escaping here, he was fortunately rescued by the hunters here."

He picked up the half piece of jade pendant, "The master said, this is a token, someone will come to me with the other half piece, that is my clan, and it is my closest relative. However, in the past 20 years, no one has ever been there. Come. Every time I go to a city according to the master's instructions, I secretly engrave a floral print on the wall in the north of the city, but I thought no one would come again."

He lowered his head, "Originally, the hunters here also have father and son, and the boy is about the same age as me, but one day they entered the mountain and never came back. I picked you up back then because I was alone for too long. I thought we would always live together like this, I'll be with you, you'll be with me, and when you grow up and I'm old, maybe I'll be able to see my parents."

He smiled bitterly in silence, "I'm sorry, I lied to you."

"Master." Jiang Lan wanted to hug him to comfort him. Maybe he picked himself up because he was too lonely, but the master was really kind to her, better than anyone else.

"Master, do you want to go with her?" Jiang Lan asked.

"No." Wen Daolin said very firmly, "I am Wen Daolin, not Murong Xiling. I really want to go back to Zunguo, but I will not betray my life."

He stopped and looked at Jiang Lan steadily, his eyes were gentle and deep, as if the waves were surging in the sea, making Jiang Lan's heart skip a beat.

He turned his head and continued, "Besides, I don't think the road is so easy to open. I have gone to Chongshan to investigate countless times, but I have never found a place where the jade pendant can be used. This is just her delusion."
