"Living under someone else's roof is inevitable." Lian sighed softly, "Foreigners are always rejected by the natives, so your ancestors hid in the deep sea and made deep-sea fish beads to allow you to enter and exit the deep sea freely. Thousands of years have passed, and you naturally don't know your origins. Living in the deep sea, it is normal to think that you are a mermaid. The mermaids in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" refer to you. You have existed in the history of this planet, and you have existed in the legend..."
"I want to go home..." Sanniang gazed deeply at the stars in the sky. "Originally, I wanted to go back to the sea, but now, I don't want to. I don't want my people to still live under someone else's roof, hiding in the deep sea like thieves. Once we lose the fish pearl, we can't even go back to that hole in the sea. You are a god, can you help us find a home?"
"What are the benefits?" Lian Youyou smiled, "There is gain and loss. Just because of our friendship, I will help your people find a planet? Even if it's just a piece of land, it will cost fifty taels of silver."
"Puchi." Sanniang didn't think Lian Youyou was cold and heartless after hearing what she said. Instead, she leaned over and hugged Lian Youyou who was lying on her legs and acted coquettishly, "Give it to me~~~ You gave Fat Buddha Yunxi and the others a magic weapon~~~ I don't have one~~"
Who can resist Sanniang's coquettishness? If it were Yunxi, I'm afraid he would have been weak in the knees long ago. Even if he died, he would still find what Sanniang wanted.
But this time, it was really something Yunxi could not give, because what Sanniang wanted was really a star.
The man said, if you want the moon and stars, I will pick them all for you, and you ask him to pick them down and let you see them.
Only Lian Youyou can do this.
"You want stars, not artifacts?" Lian Youyou smiled with her eyes closed as Sanniang swayed her. "We are gods, so we also need face. If you want it, give it to me. I don't want face, so you have to exchange it~~"
Sanniang let go of Lian Youyou and looked at her seriously: "What do you want in exchange?"
Lian Youyou, who had kept her eyes closed, opened them and looked at Sanniang solemnly: "Use you."
Sanniang's beautiful eyes slowly widened, with a gleam of surprise in them: "My life?"
Lian Youyou closed her eyes again: "You are free. You must stay in Jiumen forever. When you have made up your mind, come to me." Lian Youyou turned around and fell asleep again.
Sanniang stared at Lian Youyou's face, which had already fallen into deep sleep. Using her freedom to exchange for a planet? Was Lian Youyou serious? Wasn't this obviously giving her a bargain
But why was she still hesitant in her heart
This hesitation is because she... hates her own people...
They ruthlessly abandoned her when she needed support the most. In the end, it was the Nine Gates that gave her a place to stay.
Now, knowing the truth about their tribe, I suddenly found it ridiculous. They hid in the depths of the sea like rats, and they still claimed to be noble, treating humans as pigs and dogs, and thought that her love for lower creatures was a disgrace to their tribe.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, she is now living a freer life than her people. Why does it feel like sacrificing her own freedom to find a new planet for such a ruthless and cold-blooded people be too easy for them
Perhaps, this is Lian Youyou's purpose, to test her heart and her forgiveness for all those who have hurt her.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the stars were getting brighter and brighter in the night sky. She lay down and quietly watched the twinkling stars...
At this time in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, Fu Kun was at a loss.
He did not blame Fu Mingsu for using a useless demon when Guo Temple failed, but was shocked by the strength of the Nine Gates. This also proved that the Nine Gates were indeed there to protect the royal family. If the Nine Gates were not strong, how could they protect the royal family and the capital from demons and monsters
Now, he finally understood why the ragged Nine Gates leader Yao Guang could stand in the court, and even behind the left prime minister. The position in the court proved one's status.
I also understand why Emperor Cheng secretly summoned Yao Guang for a long time and trusted Yao Guang.
This time, he lost miserably, but he also lost with conviction. But this does not mean that he will give up and no longer trust Gongzi Hong introduced by Fu Mingsu. On the contrary, he thinks that he should contact Gongzi Hong more. And, the Third Prince.
What surprised him was that after the National Temple incident, no matter how Fu Minghui invited him, the Third Prince was unwilling to meet him. On the contrary, the Third Prince had been getting close to the Crown Prince recently.
"Lord Left Prime Minister, I have asked Xiao Yao to investigate. Yuchi Gongshan is indeed not within the capital." Sitting opposite Fu Kun was Gongzi Hong.
The battle at Guo Temple made them feel more and more that only with deeper unity could they defeat the Nine Gates.
"Strange, where did Yuchi Gongshan's family go?" Fu Mingsu was puzzled. Ever since someone saw Yuchi Gongshan taking his family to Jiumen that day, they have never come out again, and after that, the prince, the queen and the third prince have all disappeared.
Fu Kun was also puzzled. Yuchi Gongshan and Yao Guang did not come to court today. Only the right prime minister Lin Jing was left from the trio. The Nine Gates were like the mouth of a monster. Anyone who entered its mouth disappeared.
But obviously, Emperor Cheng and the Right Prime Minister knew where all of them had gone. All of the Yuchi family members disappeared overnight, so something big must have happened. However, Fu Kun didn't know about this big thing, which showed that Emperor Cheng didn't trust him. At least, he didn't trust him as much as he trusted the Right Prime Minister.
Gongzi Hong turned his head and thought deeply: "Besides, there is only one little lettuce left in the Nine Gates, hiss... strange." The people of the Nine Gates suddenly disappeared, which made him feel uneasy. It was like a deadly enemy, and suddenly lost his trace. Instead of being happy, he felt even more uneasy. Of course, you can only feel at ease if you can see your enemy every day.
Isn't it the same for Fu Kun? He has always been proud that everyone's movements are under his control, and the palace is full of his spies.
However, the Queen, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince suddenly disappeared right under his nose, especially his enemies Yao Guang and the Yuchi family, who seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace with a whoosh.
"I underestimated Jiumen, I underestimated..." Gongzi Hong gritted his teeth. The woman he hated the most suddenly disappeared, but his heart was filled with anxiety. He was eager to know where she had gone and what she was doing? !
"There must be a random door among the nine gates!" The young master tried to calm down. When he thought about losing the trace of his enemy Lian Youyou, the wound on his chest that had finally healed began to hurt again. He hated the disturbed feeling in his heart now. Although he hated Lian Youyou, hated her deeply, and wanted to destroy her body and soul, but when Lian Youyou was within his sight, he was calm instead. He only needed to concentrate on how to get revenge, instead of being restless like now, tossing and turning, and feeling restless. (To be continued)
