Quingotima

Breaking the silence and flourishing

See the rivers and mountains like a painting in the distance

Bloody Embroidery

vermilion herb

solitary bone

Know which family

And look at that rosy patch of red

flawless red sky

military career

Drenched with iron armor and frosted with frost

White hair in close-viewing mirror

Laughing at a spear in life

The song echoed on the surface of the river for a long time without dispersing. His eyes were light but were filled with sadness and reminiscence. Mo Bai, is that you?

If he was Mo Bai, she could forgive him for everything he had done!

He stared at Helian Manqiu and sighed in his heart. If he could obtain this woman's heart, then what else could he expect?

This thought disappeared from his heart in an instant. What he wanted was not a peerless beauty, no matter how good the woman in front of him was, she wasn't as enticing as the beautiful scenery, and he couldn't let her go.

"Good poem, good song, you really are amazing."

Seeing that King Lu had not revealed any expression of surprise, Helian Manqiu couldn't help but feel dejected. Wasn't he Mo Bai?

"There are still a few lines left, can you keep going?"

King Lu muttered to himself for a moment before smiling. "This prince is conceited and is also a generational scholar. It's a pity that he has never put too much thought into poems and songs. Such a melody is not to be casually continued." Since there are still a few more lines, are you willing to finish this song for This King? "

At this moment, seeing that King Lu was unmoved, Helian Manqiu no longer had the mood to sing this song. She lazily closed her eyes. "I'm tired."

"Are you willing to be this king's wangfei and go to the Northern Kingdom with this king to establish a new career?"

"Does Your Highness think that we can safely return to the Northern Kingdom? Even if we go to the Northern Kingdom, what can we do with someone else's help? "

"Do you think that this king doesn't have anyone by my side and doesn't have the ability to continue on? If you are willing to go through trials and tribulations together with This King, with This King's intellect, your talent will definitely be peerless and you will definitely be able to dominate a region. In the future, how can I not seize the throne again and have control over the great wealth of the Great Hengkong Empire? "

"With the power of those inferior races, what you can get is limited, but the price you have to pay is huge!"

Helian Manqiu said indifferently. She turned around and lay on the bed, not saying another word. The Law King was not Mo Bai after all. What kind of disaster would it bring to the citizens of the Central Plains and to the Great Hengkong Empire if he were to attract foreign forces?

A single person's ambition could lead to endless calamities. It would cause the people to suffer and be displaced from their homes. She would not allow anyone to do so. Once a lowly person stepped into the borders of the Great Hengkong Empire, they would be the first to suffer the brunt of it. It would be extremely difficult for her to escape the military state that she wanted to protect.

"Don't have any other thoughts. Right now, you are alone here. On account of your sincere feelings for this king, this king will naturally treat you well." Helian Manqiu, you are just a woman. In the end, you have to rely on a man.

Helian Manqiu remained silent. After that melody just now, she was extremely confused since the Law Breaking King was not Mo Bai.

King Lu was not Mo Bai. It was possible that King Chen was someone similar to her beloved younger brother, not her younger brother!

Could Gan Yuxuan be that person?

Her heart was in turmoil. She absolutely could not follow King Lu to the north of the Han River, or it would be too difficult to escape!

"My lord, the Crown Prince and the Wolf King have sent messengers to seek an audience with my lord."

The Law King glanced at Helian Manqiu, opened the door, and went out. He drugged Helian Manqiu, and the strength of her muscles was of the highest quality, making her powerless to even walk with the help of someone else. He was not worried that Helian Manqiu would escape.

This was the surface of the Han River, and they had already reached the heart of the river, far away from the shore. If Helian Manqiu had been hit by the soft tendons dispersing, even if she was perfectly fine, it would be difficult for her to swim to the shore due to the rapid flow of the cold river.

He thought that Helian Manqiu might not have known how to swim. At that time, when he had jumped into the water, Helian Manqiu did not personally go into the water to find him.

Seeing that King Lu had walked out, Helian Manqiu turned her body and sat on the windowsill. She looked outside and saw that not far away from her was the railing of the ship. Outside the window was the torrent of the cold river. If she could jump into the cold river from here, she would have the chance to escape from him.

"Puff …"

A jade-green bird suddenly flew over from outside the window. It seemed to have flown down from the upper part of the cabin and landed on the windowsill in front of her. It tilted its head and looked at her with its clear green eyes, then turned its head and combed its feathers a few times.

Helian Manqiu stared blankly. How could this little bird not fear people?

His gaze fell on the bird's claws and he suddenly discovered that there was a grey cloth wrapped around the bird's claws.

She reached out her hand, and the bird fell fearlessly into her palm. She untied the grey strip of cloth and saw that it was covered with words as thin as mosquitoes. After reading the secret letter sent by the little bird, Helian Manqiu slightly closed her eyes. This was a personal letter written by Gan Shuxuan. The hidden guards were secretly tracking them from not too far away.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Helian Manqiu secretly tore up the cloth strip and stuffed it into the corner beside the bed.

The little bird spread its wings and gracefully flew out of the window. It turned its head to look at Helian Manqiu with a hidden bitterness, as if blaming her for not replying to Gan Qianyu's letter.

King Lu pushed the door and walked behind Helian Manqiu. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace for a long time before he spoke. "The King of Humans and the King of Wolves both want you, but this King is unwilling to part with you."

"Your Highness, have you decided to form an alliance with the Wolf King?"

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"In front of King Wu Bei, you can only be a vassal and act according to King Wu Bei's expression."

"With you and the power This King has secretly grasped, This King does not need to look at anyone's face. Rather than staying in the north and becoming the official's subordinate, being humiliated by the crown prince, are you willing to endure such an arrogant and talented girl? "

After saying that, King Lu laughed sinisterly. His gaze was sharp and cold as he said, "Does Elder Qing Tian already know that your true identity is a girl? What kind of thoughts does he have for you? "

"What I have taken a fancy to is merely my talent. Your Highness wants to control me in your hands. Is that not what your Highness is thinking?"

"That's different. This King loves you very much. There has never been a girl who could move This King's heart like you. "Manqiu, even though Duke Qing Tian has a high position, he can't protect you. You have already entered the eyes of the crown prince. If he ascends the throne, he will definitely humiliate you and make you his person."

"Does Your Highness think that you can protect me just like that?"

Helian Manqiu's cold smile was like the color of frost and snow. The moonlight that had melted away at such a time had captivated the eyes of the Law King.

"After the Han River, the north of the Han River is now occupied by the Elite Soldiers of the Elite King and the Wolf King. The Great Hengkong Empire cannot reach them."

A soft sigh entered King Lu's ears. He lowered his head to look at the cold and arrogant beautiful face in his arms and gently said, "Since you have followed me all the way, do you have any other thoughts now?"

"I just wanted to remind you that you won't be able to protect me, that's all. The King of Pi, Duan Taisyan, and the King of Wolf's Salted Fish won't let me off!"

King Lu was startled. He suddenly thought of the fact that this young lady from before was the person that King Yu Tang wished to invite to meet in the king's courtyard. Crown Prince Zhaoyan did not hesitate to set up an inescapable net in Mo Gan City in order to keep her.

When the Wolf King had personally led the elite troops to save her from the third prince, Duan Toyan seemed to be determined to keep her.

"I want to go out and take a breath of fresh air to enjoy the moonlight. Take me with you."

There was no bones in his body. He leaned on King Lu, but his body didn't have the warm smell and temperature of Mo Bai's sun. It emitted a cold and sinister aura, causing her to feel very uncomfortable.

When King Lu saw Helian Manqiu's slightly delicate face, her soft body, and her gentle fragrance, filled his arms, his heart couldn't help but soften. His heart was palpitating as he held Helian Manqiu in his arms, "In the end, This King does not wish to disappoint you, I only hope that you won't disappoint this king!"

She raised her head and looked at the half moon. Such a night, such a moonlight, the face of the Law King in front of her reminded her of that person who deeply engraved her in her heart, Mo Bai!

She couldn't help but stretch out her hand to touch the face of the Prince of Disciplines. She foolishly looked at the face that was so familiar with the entanglement of dreams and souls.

Such a gaze and action, in the eyes of King Lu, were clearly that of a young girl in his embrace, and his heart was tied entirely to his body.

The Law King reached out and took Helian Manqiu's hand. He was well aware that if a woman wholeheartedly promised a man, she would do everything in her power to assist him, regardless of success or failure. This was exactly what he wanted.

"..."

With the cry of an eagle, several eagles flew from the sky and circled above the cold river, their sharp eyes shining in the dark.

King Lu's expression couldn't help but change slightly. He raised his head and looked into the sky.

At the same time, Helian Manqiu also raised her head to look at the sky. The corners of her lips slightly curled up. Clearly, someone had released an eagle that was used to investigate and found her traces.

However, he didn't know who it was that had been tracking her all this time.

"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, you still have time to turn around."

"Go back?"

King Lu laughed coldly, his eyes incomparably sinister. "Do you think I have a way back? From the day I was born, I was destined to walk this path. The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. Now, I'm just a prisoner to the crown prince. It's better to be humiliated than to die. Even if there is a dead end ahead, This King can only continue forward. "

"Why don't we hide in the mountains?"

"There is no room for This King in this world. I can only fight with all my might. Manqiu, are you willing to travel with me?"

"If you believe me, you won't use medicine to control me. Even if I did so much for you, you wouldn't believe me. In this life, have you ever trusted anyone before? "

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has invited His Highness and Uncle Zhen to go and have a chat. He has prepared a feast for Your Highness and Uncle Zhen!"

In the darkness of the night, someone shouted out from the top of the river. There were many boats in the distance, and it was unknown how many of them had arrived.

"Let Duan Ji Yan wait first. This King will personally welcome His Highness the King of Law and Uncle Zhen Bei. What does His Royal Highness think of such sincerity?"

Helian Manqiu's eyebrows shot up. She really was a hot and eager person. Duan Jidao had sent someone to invite her and the Wolf King had actually personally come to the Frigid River!
