Everyone sat on the ground, Yu Wenyao said to Murong Ci: "I don't know if what Mrs. Xiang said is true or not, but if it is true? If we really found the ruins of the ancient Jialan country, but we all suffered misfortune, and you are the only one living alone, you will not be sad Sad? It’s right to save your father, but you can’t let so many of us die because of it, right?”
Yuwen Zhantian looked at Murong Ci tenderly, and said, "A Ci, I also think that this matter should not be a one-off event, it's better to be cautious. After all, you are the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, and your father is the only one like you. If you have a relationship with Murong Yu Any accident, wouldn't the country of Yan be in chaos?"
After a pause, he added: "If you decide to go, I respect your decision and will go with you."
Murong Ci knew that if he and Murong Yu couldn't go back safely because of this incident, and his father was seriously ill, what would Yan Guo do
Yes, there must be chaos.
Therefore, she is very tangled and wavering.
Qin Ruo understands His Highness's worries and difficult choices, but if it were her, she would not know how to make the choice.
Is there a third option to resolve it satisfactorily
Murong Ci looked at Murong Yu helplessly. He held her little hand and said in a low voice: "If you don't go and save Your Majesty, you will regret it. Since you will regret it, then go. Hell, I'll go with you."
These firm words, warm and close to each other, stirred her heart.
She stared at him fixedly, her eyes glowing with water, yes, in this world, he knows herself best.
She really hesitated, unwilling to let so many innocent people die.
However, if she just watched her father die, she would regret it.
Yuwen Zhantian felt very uncomfortable when he saw their hands clasped together.
Yu Wenyao was the same, her heart was full of jealousy, but she felt that she was not qualified to destroy them. They knew each other and loved each other, and she was the third person who broke in.
"My lords, can I say something?"
The one who spoke was the honest-looking Liu Yi, who wore a felt hat and had a dark face.
Yuwen Zhantian said: "You say."
"Are you going to look for the ruins of the ancient Jialan country?" Liu Yi's eyes looked cloudy, but when he looked carefully, they were as clear as stream water.
"Yes." Yu Wenyao said.
"I advise you, don't go." There was a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Why?" Murong Ci asked in surprise.
Liu Yi didn't answer, turned around and took a few steps, knelt on the ground with his elbows on the ground, his hands forward, palms up, then he bowed down to worship the distant desert, his forehead kowtowed on the sand, almost It is prostrate on the ground, very pious.
Yu Wenyao asked puzzledly, "What is he doing?"
Murong Yu said solemnly: "He should be kneeling down to worship the gods in his mind. I have seen several Ruoqiang people kneeling down to the gods in the same way."
Yuwen Zhantian nodded, "Indeed. The Ruoqiang people's worship of the gods in heaven is unusual."
Liu Yi bowed three times before standing up, walked over and said solemnly: "My lords, you must not go, if you go, you can't come back."
"You tell me why you didn't come back." Qin Ruo was almost suffocated by this doubt.
"That's right, how do we know if you don't tell me?" Yu Wenyao echoed.
"Not to mention the difficult and dangerous journey, anyone who went to find the ruins of the ancient Jialan country never returned." His face was full of horror, "Two years before my father passed away, I took three groups of people across the desert to find the ancient Jialan country. My father and I only took them to the foot of Xuelong Mountain, and we waited in Ruoqiang every day, but none of the three groups of people came back."
"Maybe they didn't leave the desert on the way back," Murong Ci speculated.
"No, no, they must have offended the gods, the gods of the ancient Jialan country." Liu Yi said solemnly.
"Why are you so sure?" Yuwen Zhantian asked.
"Everyone in Ruoqiang knows that the gods of the ancient country of Jialan cannot be offended. Why did the ancient country of Jialan disappear overnight? It was because the monarchs and ministers of the ancient country of Jialan offended the gods, and they were punished by the gods. Under the yellow sand." Liu Yi spoke clearly and earnestly advised, "It turns out that the ancient Jialan country was blessed by the gods and prospered for hundreds of years, but it was destroyed because of offending the gods. Therefore, you must not go, Once you go, you can’t come back.”
"How did the monarchs and ministers of the ancient Jialan country offend the gods?" Murong Ci asked.
"Actually, I don't know. When I was young, I heard from my grandfather that the royal family of the ancient Jialan country blasphemed the gods. It seems that the monarch of the ancient Jialan country had an arrogant and rude prince. This prince somehow blasphemed the gods and angered the gods." That's why the gods decided to punish the ancient country of Jialan," he said.
"If you want to punish, you only need to punish the prince alone. If you implicate so many innocent people, wouldn't it be killing innocent people indiscriminately?" Yu Wenyao said bluntly.
"Girl, don't talk nonsense, the gods will hear and punish you." Liu Yi warned seriously.
She quickly covered her mouth, not daring to speak nonsense.
Murong Ci also felt that the punishment of the gods was too much, submerging the entire ancient Jialan country under the vast yellow sand, causing so many innocent subjects to die, it was really too ruthless.
However, this may not be the real reason for the annihilation of the ancient Jialan country, it can only be heard as an anecdote.
Murong Yu blinked coldly, and said solemnly: "Whether it's a god or other reasons, we have to look for the ruins of the ancient Jialan country."
Liu Yi was angry and anxious, and said, "You are going to die for nothing."
Yuwen Zhantian said coldly: "Just take us to the foot of Xuelong Mountain, you don't want to come with us
Find it together, we won't force you. "
Liu Yi didn't say any more, he was worried.
After Yu Wenyao's wound was bandaged, Yuwen Zhantian still insisted that she wait in Ruoqiang. She couldn't resist everyone's decision, so she pouted her lips unwillingly.
Murong Yu stood up, brushed off the sand from his body, "Get ready and set off."
Those twelve subordinates took her back to Ruoqiang, Murong Ci and others sat on the camels, and the camels formed a team and headed for the hinterland of the desert.
Looking around, the desert is boundless, and the yellow sand is so vast that you can't see the edge at all. The sky is particularly high and far away, just like the deep blue sea hanging upside down quietly in the sky, and the white clouds are long, as if they are also lamenting the magic of the Creator.
The camels move forward slowly, and the camel bells are crisp and melodious, fluttering away with the wind, which is the only embellishment in this tedious and hard journey.
Due to the difficult and dangerous journey, they all wore convenient short clothes and light furs, but the desert was hotter at noon, so they took off their light furs. At night, they put on light furs, because the night is really cold.
In order to save time, they stopped only near midnight and rested on the spot.
They spread thin blankets on the yellow sand and lay on their backs.
Everyone was tired. After eating dry food, they lay motionless. Some fell asleep soon, and ghost shadows kept watch in the middle of the night.
The sky is so vast, the night sky is so dark, and the stars are so bright, it seems that they are far away, but at the same time they feel close at hand, as if they can grasp a bright star with their hands.
Murong Ci felt very tired, but seeing the bright night sky in the desert for the first time, he felt a special feeling in his heart.
Exclamation, surprise, joy.
Murong Yu was lying beside her, and he could hold her hand with his outstretched hand. He asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that the night sky in the desert is a bit different from the night sky and stars in Dayan." She said quietly.
"what's the difference"
"It's just a feeling. If I really want to say what's different, I can't tell the truth."
"Go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow."
"Um."
Murong Ci closed his eyes, and the cold night wind blew gently, gliding across his cheeks, his fingertips, and his hair. Although it was very cold, it was like the whisper of love and affection, which made people feel very comfortable , peace of mind.
Murong Yu clasped her little hand, looked around and closed his eyes.
Yuwen Zhantian looked at their intimacy, his heart was full of jealousy and bitterness.
It would be great if the person lying next to Ah Ci was him.
The first three days went quite smoothly. Murong Yu and others marched all the way to the hinterland of the desert, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the desert.
The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river.
Whether it is a brilliant sunrise, a tragic and tragic sunset, or a bright night sky, they are all pictures that are imprinted in my heart and will never be forgotten.
Liu Yi looked at the sky from time to time, paying attention to changes in the weather.
A subordinate said to him: "Isn't the weather fine? We won't encounter a storm."
Liu Yi said displeased: "The sky in the desert changes rapidly, don't say such things."
The subordinate got bored and stopped talking.
This night, they rest more than an hour earlier.
Murong Yu saw Ah Ci walking to the east, and Yuwen Zhantian following him, his eyes darkened.
Ah Ci probably wanted to go there for a walk, but Yuwen Zhantian followed him.
Murong Yu was about to rush over, when Ghost came over to report: "My lord, my subordinates have counted the water and dry food, and they should be able to cope for five days. According to Liu Yi, it will take four days to get out of this sea of death."
This vast desert, in Ruoqiang and its surrounding areas, is called the Sea of Death by the people.
Because, seven out of ten people who cross this desert will disappear.
Murong Yu nodded, "I'll go over there to have a look, you should be more vigilant."
Ghosting took the lead and was about to leave when a scream sounded in the silent desert.
"ah"
Murong Yu's heart was shocked, and he immediately turned around and ran away, and Ghost Shadow immediately followed after seeing this.
Under the starlight and moonlight, Murong Ci was stuck in the mud, the swallowed mud had already submerged up to her chin, and it would soon engulf her. And Yuwen Zhantian stood aside, a bit calm in his anxiety.
Murong Yu's whole body tensed up, and he wanted to run over to save her, but he heard Yuwen Zhantian sternly say, "Don't go over there!"
Ghosting shouted angrily: "His Royal Highness is about to be swallowed by sand, you must save him quickly!"
"This is quicksand." Yuwen Zhantian was so nervous that his back was drenched, but he pretended to be calm, "Calm down, don't move, stretch your arms and legs, slowly, don't rush, don't Panic"
"En." Murong Ci's whole body was stiff, and he slowly stretched his limbs according to what he said.
"Do you know how to save?" Murong Yu asked heavily and anxiously, but she actually wanted to fly over and pull her out.
He didn't believe it, he and Guiying would not be able to move Ah Ci together.
ps: small theater~~
Murong Yu said to Yuwen Zhantian: "Who told you to move Ah Ci?"
Yuwen Zhantian Tsundere: I can move if I want, you can control it
Murong Yu is proud: move once, and your despair will increase.
