Warm candles flickered, and a light breeze blew by the plain bed curtains. The breeze was gentle and brought with it a cool feeling as it moved the dainty curtains. A round moon hung in the azure sky, and the entire South Tang Inn sank into the night, appearing tranquil and peaceful. A youngster of about sixteen to seventeen years old walked aimlessly in the corridor, holding a red candle in his hand and wearing a set of snow-white pajamas. His black hair was draped over his shoulders.
Shang Tianyao's heart was in pain, he was bored to death in his room, so he took the opportunity to take a breath of fresh air after the servant left. The youth frowned, and his round eyes dimmed. It was obvious that he had been crying, and his eyes were still red. Ever since he revealed his intentions to Chaxianyu, the little girl had obviously avoided him, and as an excuse for him to train, every day before he went to look for her, she would scurry into Luo Rongji's room like a frightened rabbit. He patiently waited until the sun had set, and was reminded by the kind servant that the girl had long snuck out of the window and hid back into her own room.
Shang Tianyao had never felt so defeated before. Even if, in the end, he had achieved nothing but losing his identity as the late prince, because the old general who had adopted him and his brother was especially fond of him and treated him as his own son, he had taken good care of him. Because his brother Shang Tianxuan was sufficiently outstanding, he helped him withstand the hardships of his training. Shang Tianyao was even more unconcerned, he would do nothing else but play around and think about how to play, what to play, and be completely carefree and at ease. After twenty years, he had only learned about seventy to eighty percent of martial arts. Even the academy old general turned a blind eye to it, letting him use his temper to keep going.
Shang Tianyao felt regret.
This was the first time in his life that he hated his own incompetence and ignorance. In front of the girl he had fallen for for the first time in his life, his soul and body were like paupers. He couldn't come up with any convincing reasons for her to stay behind for him, let alone for her to fall in love with him … The Barrenness made him retreat. He could only watch as his beloved head flew off into the distance without turning back. Finally, the little frog who was sitting in the well and watching the sky felt his head turn cold.
Unknowingly, Shang Tianyao absentmindedly arrived in front of Chaxianyu's room. The smiling child that Chaxianyu had painted on the door suddenly came to his senses, she anxiously pulled out her sleeves and was about to leave, when suddenly the door creaked open. Chaxianyu held onto the door frame and peeked her head out, seeing that it was him at the door, he immediately smiled, a broom? You came at the right time, and I was going to look for you!
Shang Tianyao was embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head and nodded, but he did not dare look at Chaxianyu's face, and hastily stepped through the door, only to discover that everyone was inside the room.
Luo Rongji and Shier Hong sat at the side of the Hidden Wood Tree tea table, chatting and drinking tea at the same time. A clear fragrance wafted in the air, and Luo Rongji, still dressed in black, quietly stood at the side of the window, playing with the jade pendant as if he was admiring the moon, Wu Zhiya was flipping through a book. When he saw Shang Tianyao enter the room, a strange light flashed, and the mysterious master with dark brown hair shut his eyes and immediately asked, Second Prince, what do you think?
Eh?
Shang Tianyao was completely confused by his question, but luckily Chaxianyu arrived in time and pulled him to sit down, explaining to him. It's like this, Fu Yao and Fu Feng told me that in the Western Regions, there is an ancient painting that was passed down from a deity, it's name is' Vermillion Bird Queen daughter ', it might be related to my mother's current whereabouts … We plan to set out tomorrow and travel directly from the prefectural city of Wanzhou to the Western Regions … So...
So, I won't go to Shang Zhou. Sorry, broom.
Shang Tianxuan stood in his original spot, unable to recover his senses for a moment. Shang Tianxuan sighed, he raised his hand and placed it on top of the teenager's head, his tone low and forceful. Tian Yao, weren't you always on good terms with the fourth prince? The reason I called you over was so that you could help Miss Yu calm down and write a personal letter to the prince. The Miss Yu led them on the road. This way, they would be able to get to the Goliath so it would be easier for them to look after it.
Shang Tianyao lowered his eyes and replied softly. Brother.
Shang Tianxuan returned to the side of the tea table just in time to see the enchanting man support his chin with a thoughtful expression. "Your Highness, in your opinion, what difference does the 'Vermillion Bird Queen Girl' painting scroll have?" Was it really as the Mermaid said, something to do with the Phoenix Empress Empress Cha?
Shang Tianyao, who was standing to the side, was shocked. It turned out that the mother that the salted fish had been looking for all along was actually the first empress of Hong Huang Kingdom, the tea master of the tea house who had passed away fifteen years ago, Tea Chi! Then, wouldn't the girl I like...
Shang Tianxuan crossed his arms across his chest, his expression serious. It was hard to say.
Everyone knew that the reason the empress of the phoenix was called the empress of the phoenix was because, in addition to the bloodline of the Tea Clan, she also possessed the bloodline of the emperor that came from the previous emperor, 'White Phoenix'. My father once told me that back then when the Empress was in a difficult situation, on the verge of death, the Emperor Xun loved her so much that she went mad, ignored all the objections of the hundred generations of people in the history of the Profound Sky Continent, smashed down the ancestral hall, took out the White Phoenix Monarch's Yuan Dan Insignia and consumed it.
The empress's body had fused two sets of top-grade soul veins, and she had also obtained the divine power of the phoenix. A drop of phoenix blood lasts for a long time, once the phoenix cry comes out, hundreds of birds will cry … One had to know that even in the four thousand years that the Mage Continent had existed, the only person who could possess such a peerless power was Empress Feng … Soul Power User was a rare existence, once Emperor Xun took action, even though he saved the Queen's life, she would still be exposed to danger … He didn't know how many people were secretly speculating about the power of this Heaven's Volition, especially …
Shier Hong squinted his golden eyes and replied. Especially those people who worshipped the phoenix as a divine object since ancient times?
As Chaxianyu listened, her face became more and more pale. As if she had understood something, she began to tremble slightly. She leaned on the wall and mumbled in disbelief. I remember, Windraiser said... This was a place where one respected the power of the phoenix since ancient times. The original phoenix from four thousand years ago was the Vermillion Bird … That painting was precisely painted by the tea house. Could it be the result of the demand for the tea house's wisdom from four thousand years ago in the Heroic Land …? The Tea House was a family with the strongest word and the strongest word and spirit. It could mean a limitless future … Perhaps … Perhaps those people had already wanted to capture the Queen Mother who possessed the Phoenix God Power four thousand years ago!
Luo Rongji glanced up at Chaxianyu, his heart surging with emotions. Surprised at the girl's sharp insight, he curled his lips and leisurely walked behind Chaxianyu, bent down, and held onto the girl's thin shoulders. He whispered into her ears.
Leave it to me.
The handsome man with short black hair took out a yellowish booklet from her chest. Chaxianyu blinked her eyes and recognized the booklet that Luo Rongji would frequently read in the carriage. She saw the man flipping the title page of the book. Surprisingly, there was a row of golden words on the cover — — Pangu Xiu Lan's Open Record.
The journey was long, so he decided to draw this book to relieve his fatigue. He didn't expect that there were some interesting things recorded within.
Luo Rongji said expressionlessly as he flipped through the book... Chapter 57, Four Directions God … Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise … As one of the Four Gods of Heaven and Earth, she was known as the 'Vermillion Bird'. She had a spoiled personality and a refined heart of crystals. She lived in the southern part of the Bodhi Mountains.
Shier Hong patiently listened to a few sentences, his finger unconsciously tapped on the table, seeing that Luo Rongji was still reciting it, he was slightly angry, and threatened with a low voice. Luo Rongji, what exactly do you want to say? If you take another detour and waste your time, I'll throw you out.
Luo Rongji ignored him and continued reciting. "She is a beautiful woman with a perfect figure, a beautiful woman, a beautiful woman in the prime of his life.
"Boom!"
When the last line ended, it was as if a bomb had been dropped in the air. The entire room fell silent.
Wu Zhiya who was sitting at the side quietly listening seemed to be extremely tired. He suddenly yawned, and used his clear, clear, yellow green eyes to lightly scan the crowd that was in a daze.
Wu Zhiya stood up, smoothing his sparkling white robes, then walked out slowly. He did not turn back, the queen was the national mother, and the emperor was the son of the heavens. The commoners had always believed that the two people standing at the pinnacle of power in the country were the children of the Celestial Emperor. In the ancient book that Master Luo had read just now, there was a record that the 'Vermillion Bird' was the 'Thousand Autumn Emperor's daughter' from the Four Directions Heaven and Earth.
This way, he would be able to explain why the name of the painting was given to be 'Vermillion Bird Emperor's Daughter'. Wu Zhiya walked out of the room.
Luo Rongji nodded his head, facing Chaxianyu who could not counter attack for a long time, he threw out his last attack —
A royal daughter could refer to either the Emperor's daughter or the Celestial Emperor's daughter. Those who were a step ahead of us and noticed the 'Vermillion Bird Emperor's daughter' in the 'Spirit Painting' of the Tea family were actually referring to the person who would obtain the Phoenix's power. It was extremely possible that they had kidnapped the Phoenix Queen.
