Rebirth of the Marquis’ Di Daughter - Chapter 216
Ouyang Nuan, the messenger of Nanzhao, subconsciously guessed that this was sent by Xiao Tianzhang. She nodded and said, “Have you checked the token?”
General Song knew that the county chief was cautious and cautious, and hurriedly said, “Yes, his subordinates have already confirmed that he is indeed the messenger of Nanzhao.”
Ouyang Nuan nodded and said, “Please come in.”
The messenger strode into the temporary tent from the outside, and Ouyang Nuan sat in the tent. The moment the curtain opened, the light and shadow flickered, reflecting her dark eyes like a stipple of paint, a dull face, and a glowing skin. The messenger looked violently in his eyes, and his heart moved for no reason.
“The messenger of Nanzhao?” Ouyang Nuan’s voice was very cold, just like her person. It looked faint, but it was unforgettable.
“Yes, the Lord sent me to meet the county master. His name was Mingruo, and he was a general under the Lord’s account.” The emissary was very young, not wearing a gown, but a light blue robe with a slight embroidery on it. Bamboo pattern, clean and elegant, no wealth and pride, this is the dress of Dali Confucian students, let people see, a little more intimate. It was Ouyang Nuan, who also realized the intentions of the other side, and couldn’t help but whisper softly: “Thank you, General Ming.”
Mingruo’s eyes slowly followed Ouyang Nun’s chin upwards, and he grinned and exposed two rows of white teeth until he faced the pair of smart and wise, bright and beautiful eyes. He is my master, thank you enough! ”
Ouyang Nuan’s eyes quickly flashed a repulsion. Although this look was fast, he could not escape Mingruo’s eyes. He smiled in his heart. It seems that the county master was unwilling to marry Nanzhao, Zhenbei. The king is miscalculated. Somehow, the smile on his lips was deeper.
“The county master, here is Langcheng. The army of Dali is stationed there. Because the county master and his relatives have recently changed frequently, I am afraid that they cannot go there.” Mingruo said with a sincere expression on his face.
Ouyang Nuan knew that Lang Cheng was now mainly controlled by King Lu, and Xiao Chonghua was also there. The battle between the two parties was probably very fierce. This marriage was strongly endorsed by King Lu, and Xiao Zhonghua’s attitude … she could imagine. Ouyang Nuan sighed slightly. If possible, she was willing to go to Langcheng, because there might be news from Ouyang Jue, at least, Xiao Chonghua would surely know. However, the anxiety of the messenger in front of him is not completely wrong. In addition to the influence of King Lu, there are also many radical militants in the war. They will not consider their own relatives to be sacrifices. At that time, it will cause trouble, but it will not pay more.
“So what does General Ming mean?”
Ming Ruo smiled: “The prince means, please ask the lord to detour Jingcheng and go from there to Nanxun. Although it has to go through a mountain road, it is very prosperous and unobstructed because it is a place for merchants from south to north. From there, it’s perfect to go to Sundial Town in Nanxun. ”
It’s reasonable to say that, Ouyang Nuan nodded and said, “Then it’s all up to the general.”
As soon as Ming went out, Ouyang Nuan asked General Song to find a local guide, and the man said exactly the same thing as Ming Ruo.
Ruby glanced at Ouyang Nuan, and said softly, “Is the lady doubtful–”
Ouyang Nuan shook his head and said, “I’m not doubting him, but it’s a matter of great importance to be diverted. Be careful.”
General Song was listening, but he was very dismissive. Mingruo’s military cards were all confirmed, indeed from Nanzhao. Do Xiao Tianzhang make every effort to ask his relatives to murder Ouyang Nuan? This makes no sense anyway.
The carriage traveled all the way, passed Jingcheng, and stopped at a place called Heishuihe before going up the mountain road. Said to be a river, it is actually a large river. The upstream of this river is in Dali, but the middle and lower reaches are in Nanxun. It is the most important water channel in the northern cities of Nanxun. Ouyang Nuan looked at this river and sighed unconsciously. It was also a piece of water and could have lived in peace without incident, so why bother to **** it away?
Ruby filled the water with a kettle to wash Ouyang’s face and hands. The water is very clear and cool, making people feel involuntarily relaxed.
Ming Ruo came at this time and said, “The river water of the Heishui River is clear. If it comes in summer, there will be one of the most plump Shengzi fish. The meat is delicious and rare.”
He has to go on, but Ouyang Nuan is obviously not very interested, his gaze is just looking far north.
If only one glance at her knew what she was thinking, she couldn’t help laughing: “Sister, please get in the car and rest, and it will be here soon.”
Ouyang Nuan wore a skirt with a gold base, with colorful patterns woven from various silk threads twisted by rare bird feathers, as well as numerous phoenix pictures embroidered with small pearls and coral beads. Can Ruoxia. Those Nanxun soldiers brought by Mingruo looked at her from afar, covering the envy and wonder in their eyes. Nanxun women are good at riding and shooting, mostly tall and fit, especially Princess Nanxun is more beautiful and beautiful like a blooming peony flower, but the Yongan county owner in front of him looks so clear and bright, as if the crescent moon is fresh . One looks like a passionate waterfall, and one looks like a mysterious stream. After seeing the beauty of the beauty, I also have to admit that the mysterious stream is often more fascinating.
If in the past, Ouyang Nuan would be able to perceive Mingruo’s tricky eyes, but now, she is full of sorrow. Most importantly, she is thinking about her brother’s life and death and peace. She has no time to consider anything else. If she was indeed sent by Xiao Tianmao, she would no longer pay special attention to this person. She just nodded faintly, her dark eyebrows were dark and cold, her lips and cheeks were a little white, she stopped talking and turned away.
If Ming looked at her, a strange tingling in her heart was strange.
Pitiful, how could anyone think of transplanting a beautiful lotus on the land? Such a woman, if she is in a foreign country, will slowly wither.
Ming Ruo thought so, but at that time, he didn’t know what Ouyang Nuan had experienced, and how tough she was. It’s completely different from his imagined weakness.
The team crossed the river and kept walking forward, but I don’t know why, after five days, they have not yet reached the border of Nanxun. The weather is only September, but the closer to Nanxun, the sky becomes more gloomy, as if autumn is coming to an end. The soldiers from Nanxun came to see their relatives as normal, but the Dali people couldn’t stand it one by one. First, they changed into heavy clothes. Slowly, more and more people became sick, and the vomiting caused by dissatisfaction with soil and water Diarrhea and weakness make the whole team go slower and slower. For a few more days, the team’s marching speed was even slower. The cool weather suddenly became chilly, and the most surprising thing was that it started to snow slowly.
The weather in September actually saw snowflakes in the sky. In the eyes of Dali people, such wonders are simply unthinkable. However, Ouyang Nuan has seen it in the book. The more you go down the mountain road, the more the weather is different from the bottom of the mountain. Bypassing the mountain, you will return to the original state.
Although the Dali people also brought a lot of cold-proof clothing, they never expected to use winter clothes. Song Zhengbi and Ming Ruo discussed to speed up their travels as much as possible. After traveling for two days, the snow and snow suddenly became big, and ruby and calamus pulled out the cold winter clothes from the box of the dowry, which changed Ouyang Nuan inside and out. Seeing that it would take another three days to go over the mountain. As long as the mountain was crossed, it was the border of Nanzhao, but Mingruo suddenly received news that the road in front had collapsed. If it was an ordinary business trip, it would be OK Pass through the path, but if there is such a close team with a thousand people, it is absolutely impossible.
If Ming seemed to know that Ouyang Nuan didn’t trust him, he personally took the guide to the tent, and said, “Shir, since this road is not accessible, we can only detour from the mountain side. There is also a road there, but it is a little further away. Much better than walking in danger from here. His subordinates have sent someone to notify Wang Ye, and he will send someone to meet us at the border. See, is n’t it– ”
Ouyang Nuan didn’t know why. I always felt that this Mingruo was a little weird, but at present, there is no other way. The three guides along the way all said the same thing. Ouyang Nuan believed that there was indeed a way out there, but Mingruo inexplicably prevented her from feeling trusty. This may be just an intuition.
Whenever danger approaches, Ouyang Nuan has a hunch.
She hoped that she was wrong this time.
This way, it was really good at the beginning, but gradually, the road was getting steeper and steeper, the wind and snow never stopped, the horses were okay, the carriage was difficult to walk, General Song carefully asked the guide, I knew that as long as I passed this section, I started to go down again. Once I reached the foot of the mountain, I would soon reach the border.
Ouyang Nuan was sitting in the car, holding a hollow carved Wudie holding a hand stove, beside the hot brazier, but still coughing, she did not expect that the weather on the mountain and the foot of the mountain were completely different. A large swath of snowflakes outside the car hit the hood, and the whistling cold wind seemed to have an increasing trend. She couldn’t help but have a little worry in her heart. At this time, General Song sent someone to say: “Shi Jun, the weather is too bad, horses have no way to move forward, and people are sick a lot. I am afraid to stop and take a break. A place to camp! ”
Ouyang Nuo nodded, just about to say something, but suddenly heard a noise outside, if Ming ran over quickly, he said loudly: “Country master, it’s not good, the carriage in the back turned over the mountain! ”
The carriage behind? Ouyang Nuan was startled: “Who is on top?”
Mingruo frowned: “It was two lieutenants who were sick and the county commanded them to rest well, and a few servants.”
Ouyang Nuan’s complexion turned pale, and suddenly heard a loud noise, as if the mountain wall behind him had fallen down! They raised their heads and panicked to see that large rocks mixed with snow and mud rolled down from the mountain wall above them, and a thick smell of sulfur permeated the air with earthy smell!
All the horses were frightened by this terrible sound and could no longer move forward, especially the carriage where Ouyang Nuan was located. Because the distance was too close, the horses were shocked by the loud noises, and they went forward like crazy. After taking a few steps, Ming Ruo looked at the carriage that had almost ran out of the mountain road, his face changed, and suddenly a lunge jumped in front of the carriage, and he grabbed the panicked lead stable and forced the horses to the inside. Pull up the mountain road.
“God! It’s a landslide! It’s a landslide!”
Some Nanzhao soldiers shouted in the line, so all the people were in a mess, the sound of exclamation, the sound of horseshoes, the sound of running, and chaos.
General Song kept guarding beside the carriage, and immediately saw the scene to help Mingruo. At this moment, there were four or five people gathered here, and they exhausted their efforts to get the carriage back to their original position, but heard a muffled sound suddenly from their feet the next second. It came that the mountain road immediately below it suddenly collapsed.
Ouyang Nuan’s ears were filled with cries and curses, and she opened her eyes sharply, and saw the scene in front of her that almost split her heart and soul-a shining, falling knife light ——Then General Song suddenly fell down unbelievably. Hongyu and Changpu smashed into the car wall one after another and passed out …
I don’t know how long, as if I felt the snow on my face, Ouyang Nuan became aware, and then heard the deep sound of boots sinking into the soft snow, she suddenly moved, low She coughed and was quiet for a moment before realizing that she was being held at this moment. She dumbly said, “Why—”
“We encountered a landslide and were scattered by the team …” Ming Ruo looked at the front and answered softly, holding her hand slightly tightly.
Ouyang Nuan just felt that the cold cold rushed straight into his lungs, and he felt a depressed mucus for a while. The original low-pitched voice sounded a bit colder again: “No, it’s not a landslide. I smelled the smell of sulfur. — ”
“How could it be, who would think of attacking the peace team?” Ming Ruo smiled softly, then lowered his head and continued to face the cold wind and went up the slope.
Ouyang Nuan’s tone was very calm, calmly making her think she knew nothing: “General Ming, I saw it.”
If Ming’s body shakes, his eyes gradually become cold, and his hands inexplicably increase his strength: “What do you see?”
For a while, although they were close to each other, it was a real tense atmosphere.
“You killed General Song.” Ouyang Nuan said slowly, word by word.
If Ming suddenly laughed, he was actually very handsome, his face was that kind of elegant and handsome, if he did n’t know, he would think he was a scholar without the power of a chicken, but Ouyang Nuan saw it with his own eyes, He killed Song Zheng who seemed to be more than twice as strong as he was. Coupled with him holding her, she could feel the man’s tight chest and Kong Wu’s powerful arms across his clothes. He must be a long-term martial artist and very strong.
too terrifying.
This person first arranged explosives, then took the opportunity to approach her carriage during a landslide, creating confusion and let Song Zheng approach, killing him with one shot, and then hijacked Ouyang Nuan here, step by step, it was clearly calculated. It’s up! Ouyang Nuan already understands that he is not under the subordinate of Xiao Tianzhang. How can such a man with a deep mind be willing to surrender to others!
So, who is he? Why bother doing this kind of thing?
Ouyang Nuan was too late to ask these, but asked: “What about my girl?”
If Ming didn’t think of this moment, she didn’t care about her own end, even thinking about those two ordinary girls, could not help laughing. In his eyes, the girl is something, and he doesn’t have to bother to kill them, but if they can’t escape the chaos, there is only a dead end.
Ouyang Nuan looked at his bottomless eyes and suddenly felt relieved. Since he didn’t speak, it proved that he didn’t take any action on Ruby and Acorus. She could only pray that the two silly girls should not be in trouble.
Then she closed her mouth and said nothing.
Mingruo gave her a curious look: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”
Ouyang warmly said coldly, “If you want to kill me, you won’t take my time to bring me out.” If you want to kill her, she can be killed with a knife when she is suddenly unconscious, why bother holding her away far.
This person must have a plot, and this plot is not easy. Ouyang Nuan wanted to know the identity of this person, but she couldn’t bear such a terrible snowstorm. After a while, her consciousness gradually blurred and her eyes closed slowly.
Ming smiled slightly and continued to walk deep into the snow.
Ouyang Nuan woke up again and was already lying in a simply furnished room.
“Are you finally awake?”
The silver fox hides the golden edge of the big owl, and Mingruo becomes even more handsome and even his voice is warm and moving. He looks at Ouyang Nuan and opens his eyes, his eyebrows appear a worry: “Why is he so weak?”
People are still the same, but Ouyang Nuan inexplicably rises a chill.
Since he was not sent by Xiao Tianzhang, who is he? The purpose is to destroy the relatives this time-
If Ming looked at the deep alert in her eyes, she could not help but smile. Nanxun’s woman was weak. Looking at this small body, she couldn’t bear the snowstorm. How could she be the princess of Zhenbei? Thinking of this, there was a slight contempt under his eyes, Ouyang Nuan captured this emotion, but she just leaned against the wall and looked at him indifferently.
If Ming didn’t seem to be aware of her hostility, she handed a bowl of things to her lips, and there was a thick **** tea in it: “The snow is strong, you are weak, it may be better to drink.”
There was no room for rebellion, but the other side looked at himself, Ouyang smiled coldly, without any fear, and drank. If she saw her so calm, she would be a little surprised, and then smiled mildly.
Ouyang Nuan looked at him. The man in front of him must be the real Nanzhao man, not the Dali general in Xiao Tianzhang’s army. She had already guessed this point, thinking of the rumor that the Emperor Nanxun wanted to marry the princess to Xiao Tianzhang, she smiled slightly: “Are you going to kill me to destroy the relationship?
Ming Ruo thoughtfully helped her lie down: “It was originally planned, but …” Ming Ruo smiled, “I have a better idea.”
A better idea than killing her and destroying the pro? Ouyang Nuan looked at him doubtfully.
Ming Ruo smiled: “You can think that I like you so I just saved you a life.”
Ouyang Nuan looked at the clearness of this person’s eyes, and there was no trace of like or admiration. She thought of Xiao Tianmao, his eyes were always brilliant, and she could see her true feelings with almost no discrimination.
In this world, only poverty and love cannot be hidden. So Ouyang Nuan did not hesitate to believe Xiao Tianmao’s feelings. But in front of this man, Ouyang Nuan didn’t think he had a half-degree love for himself.
Ming Ruo suddenly laughed wildly: “It seems you can’t lie to you! That’s fine, you are not as affectionate as an ordinary woman, and I save a lot of things.”
Ouyang Nuan looked at him without saying a word.
At the moment of the mountain, Xiao Tianmao led the men and horses to wait at the border. In the evening, he didn’t wait for the team of relatives, and his heart became increasingly anxious.
At this moment, Zhang Ding, panic-stricken, broke into the big account: “Master, it’s not good! The county’s carriage has encountered a landslide!”
Xiao Tianyi’s heart sank suddenly, almost feeling cold, like a falling ice cave, he suddenly stood up: “Go up the mountain immediately!”
“Master, it’s impossible! Now many roads in the mountain are constantly collapsing …” Zhang Dinggang was about to hold Xiao Tianzhang, but his figure had disappeared from the big account …
