[Collection] Six Worlds

The so-called capital is a place that is as bustling as day even at night.And people like me have always lived a life with black and white upside down.So I don't know how long it's been since I've been outside in broad daylight like now.

Although, he had already left the capital, he was still hiding in the carriage.

This is the convoy escorting the princess to get married outside the Great Wall, and I am hiding in the princess' car.

This young princess was not at all wary. I thought she might have been in the palace for too long and was suffocated.When I saw me covered in blood in the palace a few nights ago, she covered her mouth and didn't cry out, and then carefully hid me in the carriage she was going to ride out of the fortress.

Realizing that this princess will protect me, I fell asleep in peace.

When I woke up again, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the princess staring at me with curiosity on her face.

I lowered my eyes to look at my body, and found that I had already changed my clothes. This was probably a princess's dress, and it was a bit small for me.

Seeing me open my eyes, the princess asked me in a low voice: "Are you hungry? I have something to eat."

I looked at the deformed snack in her hand, swallowed it, and suppressed the bloody smell in my throat: "Water."

She said "Oh", and quickly brought a water bag to support me and gave me a few mouthfuls.

Sure enough, she is a princess, and she doesn't know how to take care of people at all.I was so choked on the water that I couldn't cough loudly, and I almost vomited blood again.

She looked at me apologetically, and when I calmed down, she said, "My name is Ling Ziyue, what about you?"

I thought about it, and told her: "I have many names. The most commonly used one is Zhong Yuliu."

She nodded: "Your name sounds really nice."

I laughed, it really is the princess who is well protected in the palace, and I have never even heard the name of the top courtesan in Tianxianglou.

The carriage was bumping, and I asked her, "Where are you?"

"I don't know, you've been sleeping for several days, but you haven't arrived outside the Great Wall yet."

I looked at this girl who didn't know what to worry about: "Aren't you afraid?"

Ling Ziyue straightened her hair on the side of her face: "Is it useful to be afraid?"

I was surprised by the girl's answer, and then asked her: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you if you take me in as an assassin?"

Ling Ziyue smiled: "I'm also good at kung fu, okay! You can't kill me at all in your current situation."

I smiled at her, but what I didn't say was that she really underestimated me.

I sat up and checked the wound on my body, it had been treated briefly, and that was enough.

Ling Ziyue asked me: "Sister Liu, can you tell me your story?"

I looked at her almost star-studded eyes and replied with a smile: "There will be a chance in the future."

Ling Ziyue curled her lips: "Will we have a chance to meet in the future?"

I tore off the earrings. "I owe you one. I can do you a favor if I see you later."

Ling Ziyue took the buckle from my hand, pursed her lips and smiled: "Can I make a request now?"

I nodded: "But I can't be asked to execute it now, I still have things to deal with."

Ling Ziyue said: "My request is very simple, and it will not waste your time."

"You said."

"Sister Liu, I actually know who you are."

------------

The speed of the convoy was not slow. When I walked back, I felt that this place was far away from the capital.

The first building I encountered was a modest temple.I knocked on the door of the temple in the middle of the night, and the young monk who opened the door was so frightened by my pale face that I sat down on the ground and kept shouting, "Master! There is a female ghost!"

I laughed "pooh", and squatted down to approach him: "What ghost, have you ever seen such a beautiful ghost?"

The little monk rubbed back, and repeatedly called "Amitabha, Buddha bless".

I raised my eyes and looked around this small temple. Only one side room was lit, which seemed to be the place where the young monk lived.There seemed to be no one else.

Stretching out his hand to pull the little monk up, he first yelled "ah", and then said doubtfully, "Hey, are you really not a ghost?"

I was a little helpless: "Little master, can you let me stay here for a night?"

The little monk said "Oh", and quickly closed the door and led me to the side room on the other side: "Amitabha, please come to the female benefactor."

The little monk lit the oil lamp: "This is the guest room in the temple, the benefactor, please rest here for one night."

I looked at this small but very tidy room and asked him, "Are you here by yourself?"

The little monk scratched his head: "Master took two senior brothers to travel. He said that I was uneasy and asked me to meditate in the monastery. He said that I can travel with him when I can calm down."

Under the swaying firelight, the little monk's slightly ignorant face made me feel that a corner of my heart became soft.

I smiled at him: "Thank you."

The little monk seemed to be blushing, and said falteringly: "Female benefactor...you are welcome. You can rest."

Then he left in a panic.

I raised my hand and touched my face, trying to pull a wry smile but couldn't move the corner of my mouth.

There was a sudden knock on the door, I opened the door, and saw the little monk holding a simple teapot, a similarly simple cup and a bowl of vegetarian food covered with vegetables: "Almighty, I suddenly remembered that you may not have eaten..."

I thanked him, let him in, watched him put things on the table, and couldn't help asking him: "Don't you ask me why I appear here in the middle of the night?"

The little monk looked embarrassed: "I... wanted to ask, but I forgot just now."

Anyway, this little monk is really cute.

I was used to the life of "sleep at night", and I had been in a coma for a few days, so I was not sleepy at all. I asked the little monk if he could chat with me.

Probably because of the sad look on my face, the little monk nodded silently and sat opposite me cautiously.

"Little monk, do you have someone you like?"

My abrupt question obviously stunned the little monk for a moment, and then he saw that his already flushed face was even more red.

"Come out... monks are not close to women."

"I didn't say that what you like must be a woman, men can also like it."

"you…"

Seeing his embarrassment, I laughed, and wiped away the tears: "Let me tell you, I have seen many dignitaries in the capital who like boys. They even specially raise some young and beautiful boys, like you Such a handsome skin, if it is placed in the capital, there will be many people rushing to get it. I heard that boys have better taste than women."

The little monk was overwhelmed by my words, and stood up "teng": "You...have no shame!"

I raised my head and raised my eyebrows to look at him: "I'm an asshole, why should I be ashamed?"

The little monk was stunned, as if he didn't know what to say.

My first reaction was, it's not bad, this little monk still knows what sex is.

I took a sip of the water, it was very sweet, paired with this crude cup, it made me feel a rare simplicity.

That night, the little monk chatted with me for a long time.I was also surprised that I had told him so much, so many past events that I thought I would never tell anyone else.

The little monk listened quietly, and after a long time, he said: "Amitabha."

"Little monk, are you pitying me?"

------------

Three days later, I returned to the bustling capital city, looking at the princes and grandchildren who are still here, feeling sad for them, and what's more, it's ridiculous.

This is a corrupt and declining dynasty. Years of invasion by the nomadic people outside the Great Wall has made it unbearable. It seems that the cavalry outside the Great Wall can conquer this vast territory at any time.And the prosperity and extravagance of the capital is like the last struggle of this dynasty.

I went back to Tianxiang Tower, and Tao Zui was not surprised to see that I was there.

Tao Zui is the owner of Tianxiang Tower, he and I have the same owner.

Tao Zui was still wearing his plain and elegant white clothes, leaning lazily on the recliner.

In fact, intoxicated is better looking than me, and smarter than me.I became the number one card in Tianxianglou just because I am a woman and he is a man.Although some people in the capital are masculine, they are not prevalent.

Tao Zui looked at me, and said mockingly: "Looking at you, you seem to be having a miserable life these days."

I ignored him, walked over and lay on his bed, and he hurried over to pull me: "You are dirty, don't touch my bed!"

I came to the intoxication room after taking a shower and changing clothes.Intoxicated by this person's cleanliness is really terrible.

So I rolled my eyes, took off my clothes, threw them on the floor, and lay down on his bed.

Tao Zui snorted angrily, then came over, took out some bottles and cans from the dark shelf next to the bed, and smeared the scars on my body.

"Tsk tsk, you're not seriously injured this time."

The wounds on my body are actually almost healed, and the intoxicating medicine is only used to remove the scars.Although I don't think it's necessary now, Tao Zui said that I am a treasure created by him, and he doesn't allow ugly marks on my body.

Tao Zui took the medicine, pulled the quilt to cover me, then lay down next to me and pillowed his arm: "A Ying, do you really think that the sweat will not kill you?"

A Ying is one of my many names, a name that only Da Khan and Tao Zui know.

I turned sideways and stretched out my arms to embrace Jiu Zui: "He will kill me, I will let him kill me with his own hands."

Reveling in silence, he pulled the quilt to help me tuck the corner of the quilt, and when I thought he was asleep, I heard him say: "You shouldn't like sweating profusely."

I took a breath: "I've said it so many times, aren't you tired of listening?"

Tao Zui said, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I should persuade you in a different way. You can like sweating profusely, but you can't let anyone know."

"Oh, but it's too late, isn't it?"

In the past, I didn't know what restraint was. As a tool, I blatantly liked my master.The biggest difference between Tao Zui and me is that he hides his love for Da Khan in his heart, but I show it out without knowing it.

Tao Zui sighed, and I said before he could speak, "Zao Zui, I'm sorry."

Tao Zui smiled sullenly: "You were only 14 years old when I saw you for the first time. You have extremely high martial arts skills at such a young age, and your appearance is also excellent, but your temper is too bad. You are obviously just a chess piece of Da Khan, but you have nothing to do with it." I don’t know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. I brought you to this capital under the order of the Great Khan, and watched you slowly accept the reality and gradually become mature. But I didn’t expect that you would be impulsive again this time.”

"You know that I went to the palace to assassinate on purpose."

"I know. I also know that you deliberately showed off your feet and were chased and killed by those people in the palace."

"You know I'm going to kill us."

"I know. I also know that when the Great Khan takes this place, or even before that, we will all die. We all die sooner or later."

Yes, one day the Great Khan captures the capital, how could he let those of us who stole information for him survive.We are his dark disgrace, out of sight.

I hugged Tao Zui tightly, and wiped my tears onto his clothes: "Zao Zui, I am not reconciled."

------------

Coming to the long-awaited Beyond the Great Wall and breathing the unique sweetness of the grassland, I seem to have a sense of belonging.

Looking at the city of felt bags shrouded in starlight and lights in the distance, I seem to still be able to smell the scent of goat milk that I loved most back then.

Abandoning the horse, I took advantage of the night to sneak to the felt bag that I hadn't seen for many years but was still recognizable at a glance. It was the residence of the Great Khan.

Da Khan was not in the felt bag. After sneaking in, I sat on his throne and waited for him, quietly thinking about everything about the grassland.

He didn't keep me waiting too long.

I watched Da Khan come in and saw me in the throne at a glance. He immediately stopped the people who followed behind him and drove them all out, telling them not to come in no matter what they heard.

How long has it been since I saw this man?It seems to be six years.

I grew up with him, and he is my brother Batu who I have always admired.

My father is the most valiant warrior outside the Great Wall, but my mother is a Han Chinese who was taken captive.I am not Abba's legitimate daughter, but my mother's only child.Brother Batu is not the legitimate son of the old Khan, but his mother's only child.

We both seem to be the same, we are both the target of being bullied. At that time, Brother Batu had been protecting me.

Later, Brother Batu killed the old Khan and became a Great Khan himself. Under his orders, I was drunk and taken to the capital and became a famous prostitute.At that time, I suddenly realized that Brother Batu secretly trained me in martial arts all these years in order to let me go to the capital to steal information for him.He even secretly cultivated such a person as Tao Zui, but I didn't know it at all.

My brother Batu didn't just want to be the khan of this grassland from a long time ago. His ambition made me feel terrible.

"Aying, you are back."

I looked at this man whom I had loved so much for so many years, and wondered how he could say this to me with such a natural smile.I think this person really has no heart.

I also smiled at him, just like the naive A Ying back then: "Brother Batu, A Ying misses you."

He walked towards me: "Long time no see, Ah Ying has grown up."

I stood up and reached out to touch his cheek, but he avoided it.

I felt the place called my heart shrank suddenly - this was not because he was a conditioned reflex of a martial arts practitioner, but because he thought I was dirty.

I laughed, laughing like crazy, and then I pulled out the soft sword at my waist and slashed towards his neck, but the moment before I touched him, my body was pierced by his dagger.

I smiled and threw away the soft sword, holding his hand holding the dagger with both hands, my first thought was: "Zui Zui, I'm sorry, I'm going to leave an ugly blood hole on my body."

["Sister Liu, I actually know who you are. I have heard of Zhong Yuliu's name, and that night I also heard someone in the palace say that the assassin had ornaments from outside the Great Wall. So I should have guessed about your identity. Seven or eight."

"do you hate me?"

"I don't hate you. My father is fatuous and incompetent, and the moon dynasty has long been in ruins. The change of dynasties is inevitable in the past. I am just unlucky. I was born at this time and in the royal family. Sister Liu, I only have one simple request .”

"You said."

"You kill me. No matter what, I am the princess of the Moon Dynasty. I don't want to marry someone outside the Great Wall, let alone watch the Moon Dynasty perish."]

【"Little monk, are you pitying me?"

"...no...I..."

"Don't be nervous, I just want to thank you."

"...Then, what about that big sweat?"

"Oh, he just thinks I'm useful. The law of the jungle is his rule, and he will never pity anyone."

"Amitabha."

"Little monk, you know too many of my secrets, if I kill you, will you hate me?"]

【"Intoxicated, I am not reconciled."

"Then do what you want. Anyway, we don't have much time."

"what would you do?"

"I will stay here. I am reluctant to leave Tianxianglou today. Aying, I can't leave this world with you. You have to wait for me."]

Ling Ziyue, I hope you will be born in a peaceful and prosperous world in the next life, in an ordinary family, and never meet someone like me again.

Little monk, I wanted to kill you but I didn't hurt you. I only hope that you will see all kinds of cruelty in this world in the future, and you can still maintain a pure heart.

Intoxicated, I am waiting for you to come to me, in the next life I will pester you to protect you, and return your protection in this life.

Big Khan... Brother Batu... I hope that in the next life, I will never see each other again.
