Chapter 134： The Legend of King Nanjing

Chapter 134 The Legend of King Nanjing

The octogenarians in Jingbian City almost all heard a story when they were young.

Ning country at that time was not as stable and peaceful as it is now. Especially in the Jingbian area near Nanting, there were frequent rebellions by the vassal kings who had their fiefdoms here. Until Li Ke, Emperor Huiwen, sent troops to take back all the fiefs before he ascended the throne, and the vassal kings from all over the country were forced to return to Beijing.

King Wei's father was one of them.

Fortunately, the King of Wei had no ambitions, and his stay in the capital was considered stable.

Besides, there was a vassal king in Jingbian who was both civil and military. People called him the King of Nanjing.

The King of Nanjing did not obediently follow back to the capital because Emperor Huiwen sent troops.

Instead… he himself disappeared.

The dragons had no leader, so the Jingbian area was naturally taken back by Emperor Huiwen.

And this King of Nanjing...

Some people said that it was because Emperor Huiwen was jealous of his talent and feared that his return to Beijing would pose a threat to him, so he sent someone to assassinate him.

Some people also said that the King of Nanjing got the secret recipe of immortality from somewhere, and went somewhere deep in the mountains and old forests to seek the way of longevity.

Legend has it that the day he returns will be the time to unify the countries.

The news that Gu Changan got from the three members of the Gu family was that Gumo Village was the place where the King of Nanjing appeared last.

"So...in the mountains behind Gumo Village, there might be King Nanjing's tomb...?" Ruan Youqing looked at Gu Changan with some uncertainty.

Gu Changan's expression was also more solemn than ever: "If there is no tomb there, it will have a very close connection with King Nanjing."

After Ruan Youqing frowned and thought for a moment, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She remembered the place Li Yi took her to in her previous life.

Although she only took her to solve a mechanism and went to see the firefly cave, Ruan Youqing can still remember some details.

For example, there are strange totem patterns on that mechanism.

There is also the firefly cave... From time to time, it exudes a damp and weird aroma...

"Let me show you something." Ruan Youqing immediately pulled Gu Changan back to her room with a serious expression. After finding the pen and paper, she roughly drew down the totem patterns she had seen in her previous life based on her memory.

After Gu Changan took it, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes and said, "Where have you seen this before?"

Ruan Youqing replied without changing his face: "I once saw it in a book at home, and that book was about the folklore in Jingbian."

Although her face was calm and composed, her heart was full of anxiety.

Gu Changan is so smart, if he sees through her nonsense lies...

Then how should she tell him about her past life?

"This totem pattern is exactly the symbol of the King of Nanjing." Gu Changan didn't seem to notice anything, but returned to her seriously after looking at the totem.

Silently breathed a sigh of relief, Ruan Youqing then continued: "You...how are you going? The prince...he must have found something there. It's just why there has been no movement for a year...I can't help but think about it. "

Gu Changan also frowned at this time and said: "As the prince of a country, he didn't study the way of being a king, but spent a year on a mysteriously missing King Nanjing... If there is no plan in it..."

"I'm afraid even children won't believe it." Ruan Youqing took the words with her lips curled up.

Even if Gu Changan doesn't do anything, she can't remain indifferent.

She will never let go of anything that will make Li Yi become stronger.

In other words, she will never allow any changes in her revenge path.

Ruan Youqing felt at ease after seeing Gu Changan's reaction like this.

After all, if Gu Changan gets involved...

Then she doesn't have to do things behind Gu Changan's back.

Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing secretly raised his eyes to look at Gu Changan.

The result was caught by the opponent.

"Look at it if you want to." Gu Changan said with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Ruan Youqing hastily turned his head aside and muttered softly: "Who wants to see you..."

"Do you also want to know what Li Yi did?" Gu Changan continued with a smile.

"Whether King Nanjing has passed away or really found the way to longevity... This is of course very interesting." Ruan Youqing replied solemnly after concealing his true thoughts.

「Then... time waits for no one, let’s go now.」

"Huh???" Ruan Youqing looked at the other party with wide eyes in shock.

Gu Changan raised his eyebrows and explained: "Our prince... if he knows that someone has found something here, do you think... he can hold his breath and do nothing?"

"Then why did he wait for this year..." Ruan Youqing was really worried about this year.

Gu Changan also tapped his fingers with some doubts, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Go and see."

The two went out together tacitly, but just as they walked out of the governor's mansion, they saw Li Qian and others coming towards them.

Gu Changan did not intend to hide anything from Li Qian, so when he saw him appear, Gu Changan directly pulled him aside and told him what he had said to Ruan Youqing before.

Sure enough, Li Qian frowned when he heard that Li Yi was so mysterious just to find the traces left by King Nanjing, and directly proposed to go together.

Gu Changan did not refuse either.

It's just that when they faced Li Ange... their expressions became a little unnatural.

While Ruan Youqing was thinking about how to talk to her, Li Ange walked over and smiled at Ruan Youqing, "Are you going out again?"

Ruan Youqing nodded, and was about to reply when Li Ange continued: "Then I won't accompany you today, I don't know why today, I feel a little tired."

"I'm feeling tired? Could it be that I'm sick?" Ruan Youqing frowned worriedly.

Li Ange shook his head, but still smiled and said: "Oh! My princess is in such good health, how could she be sick! I just want to catch up on sleep, I didn't sleep well last night."

Ruan Youqing stared at her suspiciously: "Are you really all right?"

"It's really all right, just go and do your work."

Seeing the clarity in Li Ange's eyes, Ruan Youqing was relieved, and carefully advised: "Then you stay in the Governor's Mansion obediently, and don't run around."

「Okay, okay, I’m not a four or five-year-old kid!」

Ruan Youqing smiled lightly, and continued: "Fan'er and Ziya Qiaoer went for a run around the city, please tell them for me when you come back later. I'm worried that the little girls in the province can't find them. "

「Okay, okay!」

Ruan Youqing saw that Li Ange followed Xiao Deyin and the others back to the Governor's Mansion, and then she rode out of the city with Gu Changan, Li Qian, and Yu Xie, who were halfway there.

Because there were no other women traveling with her this time, Ruan Youqing refused to take the carriage again, and directly chose to ride with Gu Changan and the others.

After the three of them gradually went away, Xiao Deyin looked at Li Ange with his head down and said with complicated eyes:

"You should actually go with them. Maybe things are not as bad as you think. On the contrary, the more you avoid them, the more people will misunderstand you."

The reason why Li Ange, who always liked to go out with her, didn't follow them this time was because she had already guessed what they were going to do.

Although I don’t know why the emperor sent someone to guard here for a year

However, blood is thicker than water.

Her own brother, how could she not know his true ambition...

Born as a royal, she still understands something.

After all, it is not a mother who comes out, and for a certain position, they cannot always be like this.

So, it is better for her not to know some things.
