Strange Tale of Qingluan

Another day later, the ferry finally got out of Danshui and entered the sea.

Ever since Su Zhongming rescued a child unintentionally because of his kindness, and Ding Xuehou took her in as a daughter again, he loves and cares about her every day, and plays with her in his spare time, although... he is still so serious and kind serious.

"Why not a 'son'? Why isn't the one picked up a 'son'? It's a 'daughter', who will marry again when she grows up." Su Zhongming sat in the cabin, resting his chin in one hand, wondering to himself.Dingxuehou sat on the edge of the bed, brushed A Lintian's hair very calmly, and spoke very calmly, "I don't mind, it would be nice if I could have the opportunity to be a father."

Su Zhongming immediately crossed his arms and became serious, "But I don't mind! If he is a boy, he can inherit my throne and your martial arts in the future!" Ding Xuehou glanced at Su Zhongming, "You can make her king Princess, just like your adopted sister, Princess Pingxuan, although she is known as the King of Huangyuan to foreign countries, she is still worthy of the name. "

"Princess? The queen is just the queen. Anyway, I am not a patriarchal person..." Su Zhongming looked up and sighed, showing the helplessness in his heart.

The door of their cabin was pulled open at once, and the two of them turned their heads immediately when they heard a slight sound, and they both saw spring grass coming in with a tray of pills, two pots, two cups, and a small wooden box with a long handle. spoon.

Su Zhongming asked first, "What kind of tea are you brewing?" Chuncao carefully placed the alchemy plate on the table, pointed to the two pots and replied, "This one contains Yulu Matcha, and this one contains Junshan Silver Needle."

Su Zhongming thought for a while and made a decision, "Matcha... I used to drink it often, so I'd better choose Junshan Silver Needle." Chuncao nodded with a smile, turned her back to them again, lifted one of the pots, and He took out a small bottle from his waist, poured the honey-like consistency from the small bottle into a long-handled spoon, and then used it to stir Junshan Yinzhen tea.

Dingxuehou's eyes were sharp, and he noticed that she was acting differently, so he asked her cautiously: "What are you doing?" Chuncao replied calmly while stirring the tea in the pot, "This is the secret recipe for making tea in my hometown, Your Majesty. I usually like to drink it, if Master Hou wants to try it too, I can put some of this secret recipe in."

"No need..." Ding Xuehou knew that he was suspicious and liked to drink the original tea, so he flatly refused.Chuncao poured hot tea into two cups and served them both.

Two days later, the ferry was about to arrive at Jijia Island in the Wushuang Kingdom. Su Zhongming walked out of the cabin holding A Lin Tianduo's little hand, breathing the sea air, chatting and laughing with A Lin Tianduo vividly, but after a while, A Lin Tianduo suddenly Dona's childish expression changed, his expression became numb, and a strange totem appeared on the center of his eyebrows with a slight purple light.

When Su Zhongming saw it, he was shocked, "A Lin, what's the matter with you? Li Xuan, come out! This child, she..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw a transparent water barrier appeared in front of A Lin Tianduo, floating on it. With some gold letters.Su Zhongming didn't look at those golden words carefully, and suddenly felt dizzy in his head. I touched his forehead, and then glanced at A Lin Tianduo. His face turned pale with fright at the picture of a ghost and an evil spirit. Pounding Heart and Five Chaos' Unexpected attack.

Hearing the sound, Dingxuehou rushed out, and saw the normal-looking A Lin Tianduo standing beside Su Zhongming and pulling his Iraqi clothes, and seeing Su Zhongming fainted there, he hurried up, helped Su Zhongming up, and patted his face , to wake him up.

Su Zhongming gradually opened his eyes, and when he saw A Lin Tianduo, the terrifying picture he saw just now appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously became afraid, and reported to Ding Xuehou tightly, and kept burying his face in his arms, " Tell her not to come near me! Tell her to stay away from me! She is a monster... I saw it just now... She is a monster..."

Ding Xuehou looked at the innocent and naive A Lin Tianduo, and said calmly: "You, did you read it wrong? She is obviously normal." Su Zhongming didn't dare to look at A Lin Tianduo, and replied stubbornly, " I saw it! I saw it! For the first time, I actually saw a living monster..."

Listening to his murmur, Ding Xuehou had nothing to do with him, he just reported him first and sent him back to the cabin to let him rest.

Because of the favorable wind, the ferry arrived at Jijia Island smoothly.Just as they got into the carriage, the heavy rain followed. Along the way, the wind and rain greeted each other, and the road leading to Zhangli, the capital of Wushuang Kingdom, was extremely muddy.Their carriage moved forward cautiously, for fear that the horseshoes and wheels would slip.

Can such a heavy rain reach Zhangli smoothly? —— Su Zhongming was thinking in his heart, he couldn't help sighing, and tightened his coat with his right hand.Dingxuehou just heard this soft sigh, and said: "Sigh, no matter how heavy the rain is, it won't get on you, and you can feel at ease when you enter the king's city."

"Chuncao! You bloody girl! If you can take care of my love brother, can't you take care of me! I want you to beat my back. Look at your strength. If you need to lighten it, you will increase it. When it is time to increase it, you will You always have no strength! Believe it or not, I will teach you a lesson!" The roar came from the carriage behind, obviously Wen Qian was angry.

here we go again. ——Su Zhongming heard the voice, couldn't help but hold his forehead, and thought to himself as usual: If the princess had a better temper, didn't play with swords and swords, was as gentle as water, and there was a kind of temperament surrounding every gesture, saying She may be the one who loves each other and stays together for a lifetime.

Ding Xuehou was playing with A Lin Tianduo, Su Zhongming turned his face away and looked at the window, ignoring him at all.After Ding Xuehou glanced at him, he said intentionally or unintentionally, "You really are, she has neither three heads nor six arms, why should she be so repulsive as a child?"

"Yes, she is a child born to a monster." Su Zhongming replied with a frosty tone in his tone.Ding Xuehou was very upset, and blurted out: "Why do you say such an ordinary child, what did she offend you in her previous life?"

Hearing his retort, Su Zhongming couldn't help being sullen for no reason, "Since I came here and met you now, you chased me, I took the risk to try because of your persistence and bravery." I promise you with an attitude, I don't have the word "deep love" in my heart for you, and you don't trust me now, I can divorce you according to the divorce rules!"

Dingxuehou looked at him speechlessly, and after a while, he replied: "Our marriage, can you go back on it if you want? Do you think it's a joke? If you dare to regret the marriage, dare to announce the annulment of the marriage, the people of Wen Kingdom will make fun of it You!" Su Zhongming snorted and turned his head to ignore him.

As soon as Dingxuehou finished speaking, he found that he was also unintentionally angry, so he restrained himself and said calmly, "I think you must be sick. When we get to Zhanghui, I'll find a doctor for you."

"You are sick! What I see is not a hallucination! You always don't believe me! If you don't believe it, forget it. When you get to Zhangli, I don't care what you do. Sell her or give her away as you like. In short, don't let me See her again."

As soon as Su Zhongming said that, A Lin Tianduo, who was sitting on Dingxuehou's lap, burst into tears immediately. She rubbed her teary eyes and begged: "Father, don't you want me anymore? I'm a good boy and I've never done anything bad, Daddy , don't throw me away..."

Dingxuehou felt pity in his heart, he patted her head, and comforted A Lin Tianduo: "He is talking nonsense, he is sick, and he will be fine when he invites a doctor to take a look at him." A Lin Tianduo nodded, and stopped crying for the time being, but Su Zhongming couldn't bear to hear such words, and there was a bad breath stuck in his throat.

"It's you who's sick, you're the one! Hmph, it seems that we're on the same page and at odds." Su Zhongming blurted out, with an indifferent attitude.Ding Xuehou was worried that if he said too many mistakes, he would get angry with him for no reason, so he didn't say a word to him again.

The carriage rushed into Zhangli, arrived at the Miyagi Chengguan, and was about to enter, but was stopped by the guards.A guard asked, "Who are you? The forbidden area of ​​the palace, outsiders are not allowed to enter!" At this time, the rain had already lightened. Su Zhongming lifted the curtain and replied to the guard, "We are from Wen Kingdom. King Guang exchanged the itinerary and came here for him."

The guard replied: "Whether it is true or not, wait for me to report, you wait first." Turning around, he withdrew and ran into the palace city.After a long time, when the rain stopped, the guard came back and let them go.

Entering Miyagi, getting out of the carriage, everyone put their feet on the ground and raised their heads, and they saw the Lord Wushuang leading people slowly to greet him.None of Su Zhongming and the others had ever seen the King Wushuang before, but seeing one of the visitors wearing a purple dragon robe, they unanimously concluded that that person was the King.

As soon as the man arrived, he opened up the conversation box and asked them: "The widow sent a letter to the Lord of Guangling a few days ago, but he is not the one who came today. May I ask who are you all?" Yi Yeqing answered first: "We came from the country of Wen. This is the lord of his own country. He was only going to Tuluo country to accept the invitation. Unexpectedly, he also met King Guang. Because of some things, King Guang was temporarily unable to come, so we came here for him. gone."

"So that's how it is. The distinguished guest came from a long way, and they have worked hard all the way, so let me enter the palace with you." The lord of Wushuang was very polite.Su Zhongming and others immediately followed him and walked into Wanwu Hall.After drinking tea and exchanging greetings, Su Zhongming asked, "Is there any news for the little prince?"

Wushuang Wang Dongbin sighed, "Alas...it just happened to be a coincidence. Two nights ago, when I was about to rest, a hidden weapon flew in from the window. Curious, I went to check and found that the hidden weapon had nailed a letter to the wall. superior."

"Have you caught up with the person who issued the hidden weapon?" Su Zhongming asked again.Dong Bin shook his head, regretfully said: "That man seems to be very skilled in martial arts, before I have time to see who it is, that man has long since disappeared."

"Then... what was written in the letter?" Su Zhongming asked repeatedly.Dong Bin replied: "The letter said that the prince is safe and sound. Five days later, we will ask the widow to go to Jiaojiao Mountain on Xiaoxiyi Island to hand in the sealed contract, and they will release the prince. This fifth day is the third day in the future. day."

Su Zhongming said: "Peacock Island is the most important industry in your country. Without Peacock Island, the Wushuang Kingdom will decline, and the people will be destitute. I suggest that the leader of the Wushuang Kingdom should not do this."

Dong Bin nodded, and echoed: "I have thought so too, Peacock Island is a treasure land of our country! More than that! It is literally thousands of lives! I would rather sacrifice my own life than leave Peacock Island like this. Give your hands to others! King Wen, since you are here, you have to find a way to help the widow save the prince! The widow has already heard that it was you who came up with the idea of ​​connecting the Amo River and the Wuhuang River. You must have a way!"

Do you think I am the Tathagata Buddha... Do you think I am Guanshiyin Bodhisattva?A mere canal, I just happened to think of it, and I wanted to see if it would work in this world... It's just such a proposal, you can treat my head as an intelligent computer, which can help you solve countless problems what?

Su Zhongming was very troubled and couldn't help complaining, but seeing that Dong Bin was eager to save his son, he didn't intend to argue with him. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "Since there are still two days left, we can slowly discuss and come up with a plan." It is the best of both worlds strategy that can save the little prince and keep Peacock Island."
