Lou Lan Curse: Tyrant, Love Me Only - C264
Only now did Cen Xue realise her current identity. She was the phoenix, the Holy Maiden of the Sacred Moon Sect.
“Your Majesty, the phoenix greets you. I hope Your Majesty can forgive Phoenix for his faux pas just now.” Cen Xue bowed slightly.
Helian Lie looked at her and searched his mind for the name. Only then did he remember who she was.
“Get up, you’ve been busy all night. You must be exhausted.” Helian Zhang turned around and did not look at her. His gaze was fixated on the poisoned soldiers.
“Don’t be tired, this is what the phoenix should do.” Cen Xue was a little afraid and did not dare to raise her head to look at him.
Helian Jue stood by her side, looking at the expression in the depths of her eyes. Was this the phoenix that he had known back then? Why is it different?
Her appearance was clearly that of a phoenix, but she had always been taciturn, and the feeling she gave others in the palace that time was completely different from the one she gave off right now. And her eyes, if it weren’t for that appearance, he definitely wouldn’t believe that she was a phoenix.
In fact, after the past two days of interaction, he had also noticed it, but it was not too obvious. However, today, Phoenix’s expression was especially strange. The gaze she used to look at Brother Wang was filled with deep love!
Cen Xue was completely focused on Helian Lie and did not notice that Helian Jue was sizing her up. She stood dumbly on the spot, looking at Helian Shan who was only a few steps away from her.
Helian Lie’s back was facing him, but he could feel a burning gaze staring at him from behind. After patrolling the soldiers in the tent, Helian Shan fiercely turned around, meeting Cen Xue’s gaze which was filled with love.
The sudden turn of his body caused Cen Xue to jump in fright. She frantically lowered her head and her mind went blank.
Seeing her flustered eyes, He Lian felt more and more familiar. It was Cen Xue. Why did her every movement and gaze resemble Cen Xue so much?
“Sure, let’s go to the next tent.” Time seemed to stop at this moment, until Helian Lie’s voice sounded again.
“Yes, Brother Wang, this way please.”
Helian Lie had his hands behind his back, as if he was ignoring Cen Xue’s existence. However, when he walked to her side, he suddenly stopped and continued walking forward.
Cen Xue could understand their reactions. At this moment, they did not see her as she was previously, but Phoenix. After the two brothers left, Cen Xue looked awkwardly at the soldiers in the tent and followed after them with her head lowered.
Helian Zhang did not go to the other tents to inspect them. After he left the tents, he went straight back to his mansion without making a sound. This made Helian Jue feel that it was very strange, but he did not dare to directly ask.
“Your Majesty, we just received the news from the northwest region!” As soon as he stepped into the mansion, the Azure Dragon hurriedly came to greet him.
“Speak …” Helian Zhang seemed to be in a bad mood. He didn’t even bother to open the letter and directly ordered the Azure Dragon to say it.
“General Yuwen is leading 40,000 troops, and they have already disbanded the Northwest Rebellion’s Tribal Alliance. However, just in case, the army will stay at the northwest border for a while longer. Once the situation is stable and the rebel army disbands, they will leave camp and return to the capital!” The Azure Dragon roughly reported the situation of the battle at the northwest border.
“Good. As expected of the great general of our Lou Lan Country. The northwest border is free of worries. There’s only Red Mountain City left!” When he heard this news, Helian Shan couldn’t help but cheer. The trouble in the northwest had already been solved. This made him less worried.
Helian Jue, who was standing behind him, did not say anything. However, after thinking for a moment, he immediately went up to the Azure Dragon and asked, “Azure Dragon, is there any news about Black Wood Zana in the letter?”
“No, but General Yuwen sent someone with a message. After the rebel army was defeated, Black Wood Zana disappeared without a trace. Most likely, she escaped back to Heavenly Court via water.” Behind him was only the Azure Dragon’s guess.
Helian Shan’s hatred for Black Wood Zana had already been deeply ingrained. Since she had fled at the northwest border, she would definitely come to Red Mountain City to look for Xing Ao Tian. As long as she appeared, he would personally kill her.
The Nine Tailed Lama had given him that Crimson Dragon Soul Suppressing Nail, and he had always carried it with him. His goal was to constantly remind himself that he must avenge Cen Xue!
“You don’t need to guess. She will definitely come to Red Mountain City. Maybe she has already arrived!” Helian Shan’s gloomy, gloomy, and hoarse voice sounded. His voice was far from the voice from before.
That is to say, when he had rushed back from the Everlasting Mountain to the capital, he had already fought with the rebel army at the northwest border. In a short period of time, the war had already subsided, and when he had ordered his men to send the messenger back to the capital, Black Wood Zana had already escaped, and it had already been more than ten days. If he were to leave by the river, then considering the time it took for Black Wood Zana to escape, she should already be at Red Mountain City by the time.
Helian Fu and the Azure Dragon calculated the time. Indeed, it was as the King had said. If Black Wood Zana really came to Red Mountain City to meet up with the enemy, their city would not have a second Doctor Keser. What should they do?
“Brother Wang, do you have any ideas on how to deal with this?” Helian Jue asked worriedly.
“Tomorrow morning, send someone to the Everlasting Mountain to invite Elder Mu Yue!” For now, only Elder Mu Yue could suppress the witch.
“But …” When Helian Jue heard his words, he suddenly hesitated.
“No buts. I know what you want to say. Don’t worry, he won’t do anything rash.” Helian Jue was worried that Elder Mu Yue wouldn’t be able to stay in the Everlasting Mountain and Helian Lie would fall for his schemes.
“Alright, since Brother Wang is able to trust him, then I naturally have nothing to say.” Helian Jue could only accept him when he thought about the big picture.
Helian Shan looked at his face and knew what he was thinking. It seemed that this matter still needed to be handled by the people around him.
“Azure Dragon, bring a small group of people with you to the Everlasting Mountain tomorrow to bring Elder Mu Yue over. Be careful along the way.” Helian Zhang handed this task to the Azure Dragon.
“Understood …”
Azure Dragon had always been one of the things that he was most assured of. To bring Elder Mu Yue here, he had to ensure that there were no mistakes in this matter.
Ever since she met Helian Shan, Cen Xue had been in a daze for a while. Mu Sheng had tried to persuade her, but she eventually agreed to go to the tent to rest.
“Phoenix, what happened to you?” In the tent, Bai Lu was also there. Looking at her lonely expression, she approached her and asked about her relationship.
Sighing, Cen Xue didn’t know how to explain such an incredible thing to her. It could only be said to be a problem in her heart.
“I’m fine, I’m just a little tired. I want to take a bath and sleep comfortably.” She was really tired …
In reality, what she missed the most was his embrace. However, today was the first time she saw him, and the way he looked at her made her feel extremely disgusted, making her feel like she had been abandoned. Although this could not be blamed on him, it still made Cen Xue’s heart uncomfortable.
“I think we should go back to the mansion, alright?” Bai Lu’s face was filled with fatigue. It was almost daybreak, and she could not hold on any longer.
“Mm, let’s go tell your senior brother.” Cen Xue stood up and agreed with her suggestion.
After greeting Qing Song, the two of them returned to the mansion. The moment they touched the bed, Bai Lu would fall asleep. Cen Xue sat by the bed and looked at her, deciding to take a hot bath before going to sleep.
Once Cen Xue opened her mouth, she immediately ordered people to bring the hot water over. She knew that her daughter liked bathing with petals, and they did not have many flowers in their small border city, so they had already prepared them a long time ago.
Cen Xue who was soaking in the hot water could not help but smile at these fresh petals. Even though the butler was an aged uncle, he still understood a woman’s heart.
He sprinkled the petals onto the surface of the water, and Cen Xue didn’t know what he was talking about. There were rouge colored petals, white crescent petals, and orange petals, all of them mixed together. The petals were soaked in hot water and soon exuded an intoxicating fragrance as they slowly drifted out of the window.
The entire room seemed to be shrouded in the mist of the flower fragrance. The exhausted Bai Lu lay on the bed. The fragrance wafted to the tip of her nose, causing her to let out a comfortable smile before continuing to indulge in her dreams.
Leaning her head against the barrel, she comfortably opened her arms. She was truly exhausted today. Being able to bathe in such a comfortable flower petal was amazing.
When the afternoon sunlight shone into the room, Cen Xue slightly opened her eyes. The dew that was lying beside her was already gone. She opened the window to look outside and saw that the sun had already left her behind.
“Phoenix, you are awake.” Bai Lu walked in with the food in her hand.
“Yes, I just woke up and didn’t see you.” Cen Xue walked to her side and looked at the food in her hands as her stomach rumbled.
“Hurry up and go wash up. I’ve brought you food.” After sleeping for a while, Bai Lu looked much better.
“Yes.” Cen Xue snorted and immediately went to wash her face and change clothes.
On the other side, when Nangong Lie returned from his defeat last night, he took the lives of thousands of soldiers. Before leaving, he swore that he would take down Red Mountain City.
Such an outcome would naturally result in Xing Ao Tian ridiculing and scolding him. This caused Nangong Lie to be filled with anger.
“Reporting…” Reporting to the general, the crown prince, the second prince and the third princess have arrived. ” Outside the camp of Dong Wu Country, Chunyu Jun and company had already rushed over.
“What …” Why are they here, and Ruo Lin? ” Nangong Lie was stunned, what’s going on with these children?
Chunyu Jun was under house arrest when he left. Chunyu Qian never cared about matters in the court. Ruo Lin was only fourteen years old, how did she come to the battlefield? It was simply nonsense!
Putting down the wine cup in his hand, he hastily walked out of the tent to look at the situation.
After so many days of travel, they had finally arrived. They had taken a detour in order to conceal their destination. If it wasn’t for that, they would have arrived three days earlier.
“Uncle …” Nangong Lie walked out of the tent and saw Chun Yu running towards him.
“Ruo Lin, what’s up with you?” Nangong Lie did not ask, but he could already guess how they managed to sneak out of the palace.
“Uncle.” Pure Yu Jun and Pure Yu Qian stepped forward.
As long as they were not in the palace, they and Nangong Lie would not have to go through the ceremony and call him uncle, regardless of whether they were princes or princes or princesses.
“Why are you two so confused? How can you bring Ruo Wei, a girl, to a place like this? ” Nangong Lie knit his brows and severely rebuked the two brothers.
“Uncle, don’t blame Brother Wang and the others. Ruo Ruo’s fault is that she used her death to force Brother Wang to bring me along.” Ruo Lin took Nangong Lie’s arm and spoke up for his brothers.
Nangong Jin also received the news and ran over from his tent. When he saw Chunyu Jun, his face turned dark …
