This queen is not too curly

Chapter 49 His Ning Bai
"Open the coffin."

Chen Ling's deep voice sounded faintly.

Luo Ziqiu stood beside him, his suspicious eyes turned around him, and he had to admit that he still didn't know him well enough.

Chen Lingchen seemed calm.

As if he had walked a long way and finally found a place to rest, his eyes were focused, but his breathing gradually subsided, and even the blush at the corners of his eyes had faded.

It was as if that person was just a corpse.

But it still calmed his emotions.

Chen Ling gave an order, and Hui Qitong gestured to the left and right to open the coffin.A person from the crowd came out on his own initiative. He walked to Chen Lingchen's side with his head down, and stretched out his hand to push away the heavy coffin lid.

Luo Ziqiu's attention fell on the coffin again.

The coffin lid was removed inch by inch, revealing the well-preserved body inside.

It was a young man who didn't look too old.Sure enough, as the leader of the gray cavalry said, he is thin and small, and looks like a boy, and even his face still maintains the roundness of the past.It can be imagined that he must be a very pleasing person when he smiles.

Could it be that young frontier general named Ning Bai?
Luo Ziqiu didn't know, but he hoped it was best not to.

After all, a dead Ning Bai is far less meaningful to Chen Lingchen than a hope whose life or death is unknown.

He wanted to get an answer from Chen Ling's face, but found that he seemed to be distracted too.

Luo Ziqiu tentatively asked, "...Isn't it?"

Chen Lingshen didn't answer.

His eyes fell on the face of the young man in the coffin, passing over the eyes, nose, and mouth bit by bit, everything was strange to him, and he finally remembered...he had never seen Ning clearly at all. Bai looks.

His memory of Ning Bai is only blank white.

Bitter cold.

and also……

Chen Ling bent down and held the young man's wrist with his fingertips.

"- Your Majesty!"

The leader of the gray cavalry and Luo Ziqiu screamed at the same time.

Even if it is not a corpse with unknown cause of death, even if the corpse has been frozen in the snow mountain, but after all, it is a person who has been dead for a long time. Who can guarantee that there is no corpse poison?
They wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by Chen Lingshen. They could only watch helplessly as he took the hand that had turned blue from the corpse and slowly clasped it on his wrist.

He certainly has other more effective verification methods.

But that verification method is not very good.

"His Majesty……"

Chen Ling closed his eyes.

Reality and memory are intertwined.

In the snow, the young general named Ning Bai fiercely pressed him to the ground, his breath was messy, and the voice of the young general gnashing his teeth was close at hand: "If you run away again, believe it or not, I will bite you, I will definitely bite you! Biting you is not regicide!"

He was pressed to the ground by Ning Bai until his whole body became limp and had no strength left.

Ning Bai grabbed his wrist and dragged him forward in the snow, shouting as he walked, "One, two, three... I'll let you go after a hundred steps!"

From one to one hundred.

Count each step you take.

He was dizzy with anger, and he didn't know how long Ning Bai had counted, and how many times he counted, he just felt that the number of one hundred seemed endless.

Back and forth, back and forth.

Only the hand on the wrist really exists.

Warm, soft, brutal hands.

It's completely different from the feeling at the moment.

"...Ning Bai."

Chen Ling opened his eyes slowly, and a low murmur rolled out of his throat.

"Your Majesty...he..."

In the crowd, the young man who was the first to lift the coffin suddenly moved, he hesitated and took a step forward.

Just one small step.

Before he really got close to Chen Lingchen, the leader of the gray cavalry behind him grabbed his shoulders.He was taken aback and wanted to struggle to escape, but his body was pushed to the ground by the gray cavalry behind him.

The silver mask was severely ripped off.

A young face with scars was revealed.

The man was lying on the ground struggling, his eyes were bloodshot, and disbelief was written all over his face.

Chen Ling's face changed slightly, and his eyes didn't even fall on him at all.He gently put the corpse's hand back to its original place, then turned his head, looked down at him, and said softly, "You only have one chance to confess."

"you……"

The man's eyes were about to burst.

He believes that there is nothing wrong with his camouflage technology, he can imitate human voice and action posture.From the snowfield to the imperial capital, during the several months of journey, none of the group of gray cavalry members could see that he was not the original person.

And the emperor in front of him didn't even really look at him!
How is this possible?
"How on earth did you recognize..."

"Go ahead."

Chen Ling said calmly.

The next moment, the gray knight commander's knife came out of its sheath, the blade turned over, and it was about to kiss the man's neck.The panic in the man's eyes finally converged into an ocean, and at the very moment, he shouted in a panic:

"I know Ning Bai!"

The blade scored a point, and he narrowly closed his hand.

Explain that the decision to kill him was not a temptation, and he was really dead just a little bit away.

He collapsed and lay on the ground panting.

Chen Ling knelt down in front of him, with serious eyes: "Say it again."

The man took a breath, and the panic in his eyes gradually subsided.He knew that he would not die, so he struggled to adjust his body into a kneeling position, saluting the king in front of him.

"Subordinates... I saw Lieutenant Ji Fei of the Boying Camp before, Qin Jianyue, and the Holy Majesty."

……

See Bo Ying.

Everyone present was startled when they heard the words.

This number is exactly the team they searched over and over again to no avail.They were not many in number, and their whereabouts were unknown after they were sent to the snowy field that year. None of them returned to the team, including the main general. After a long time, they were removed from the number.

In the past three years, they searched all over the snowfield just to find the whereabouts of their corpses, but in the end there were still alive?And he was the guy who deliberately got away with it all the way?
Chen Ling waved his hand heavily, and Qin Jianyue finally got a little freedom.

He knelt on the ground and whispered the cause and effect to the king in front of him:

"Subordinate... This subordinate was lucky enough to survive that year."

That was a long time ago.

When he woke up from the coma, the mountain was covered by heavy snow.He had no choice but to stay in the snowfield, looking for a way out, and at the same time looking for the whereabouts of his companions.

This search took two months.

Two months later, the ice and snow had melted a little. He went down the mountain and wanted to return to the camp, but he heard that no one had returned to the camp so far.He hesitated outside the barracks for a few days, but in the end he didn't step in, but turned around and turned back to the snowy field.

"Why didn't you return to the camp?" Luo Ziqiu asked.

Qin Jianyue raised his eyes, with a mocking smile on his lips.

He asked back: "The top-secret mission wiped out the entire army, and one person returned to the camp. Do you think you are going back to be a hero?"

Luo Ziqiu opened his mouth, but he couldn't think of words to refute.

Yes, he will not be a hero.

Not only is he not a hero, but he is also suspected of being a spy.

What awaits him is torture, forced confession, and endless investigation.Being able to survive is already a fluke. Even if they are incorporated into other battalions, there will be no better way out, and it is very likely that there will be no way out.

"What's more, I have to collect their bodies for them."

Qin Jianyue lowered his head, and his voice was light, but it revealed an indescribable tenderness and sadness.

This is the reason why he returned to the snow field.

No one in the barracks would collect the corpses of those who died in the snowfield. After all, the snowfield was too vast and dangerous, and their lives were not that valuable.

So he simply did not return to the camp.

He searched along his memory, took out his companion's corpse when he saw it, and buried it in a fixed place where flowers would bloom in the warm spring.Just like this, I went back and forth, slowly counting the list in my heart, hoping to see them soon, but also hoping never to see them.

Gradually, he also discovered a strange thing:
There are others looking for their whereabouts.

And more than one wave.

People cannot be resurrected after death, and those people don't know whether they are friends or enemies, so when he collected the corpses, he also erased the traces or left wrong clues, and three years passed like this.

Until three months ago, he took a step too late and was robbed and found three corpses first.

He wasn't sure who ordered them, so he simply hunted down one of them, took off his outfit, and pretended to be him to join them.Just like this, he followed them all the way to the south, only to find out on the way that they are actually the gray cavalry who are the personal guards of the current Holy Majesty.

"Since you know it on the way, why don't you leave halfway?"

Luo Ziqiu stared into Qin Jianyue's eyes and asked.

"Is there anything worth betting your life on?"

If you are only worried about what bad things the other party will do with the corpse, then knowing that the other party is the emperor, you can naturally know that he will not do anything to the savior, so why don't you leave?
When the crime of deceiving the emperor is discovered, isn't there only a dead end?
Does he have other purposes?
Luo Ziqiu looked suspiciously at Qin Jianyue's face.

Qin Jianyue lowered his head suddenly, his fingers clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed, as if he was suppressing some emotion, when he raised his head again, his eyes were already red.

He stared and gritted his teeth: "Why, I just want to make sure they can be buried in the ground, so you want to take care of it?"

This is the simplest answer.

It is also the most incredible answer.

Luo Ziqiu originally had the temperament of being impeccable in speaking and doing things, but under his gaze, he felt a little awkward, and he suddenly realized clearly:
They were not all the way.

The things he thinks are not worth it are the things he thinks are worth exchanging with his life.

Luo Ziqiu had nothing to question, so he took a step back, revealing Chen Lingchen behind him.

Chen Ling stared fixedly at Qin Jianyue, and asked him word by word: "You said you know Ning Bai?"

Qin Jianyue raised his head: "Yes."

He turned his head to look at the third coffin, the ferocity on his face was fleeting, and there was a trace of tenderness in his red eyes.He said softly: "The person inside is called Yuan Qi, although he is similar in stature to Ning Bai...but he is not Ning Bai."

Not Ning Bai.

Chen Ling's heavy breathing trembled, and he lowered his gaze.

He was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "You collected corpses for three years..."

Qin Jianyue shook his head: "I have never found Ning Bai."

He has been in the snowfield for three years, and he has actually found all of Bo Ying's companions, but only two of them are missing.One is teammate Ning Bai, and the other is their captain Ji Fei.

If you don't find it, it's a good thing after all.

It's a pity that he probably has no chance to continue searching.

Seeing Yue knelt down in front of Chen Lingchen, Qin Qin thought to himself that he might really not survive this time, the deserter was supposed to be executed, not to mention that he was charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor... It's really his uncle's bad luck , I'm afraid he will die without a whole body.

Qin Jianyue waited on the ground for a long time, but did not hear Chen Lingshen speak again.

The people in the hut seemed to have forgotten about him, and when he was so anxious that he wanted to give himself a good time with a knife, he heard a cold voice above his head:

"Take it away."

Qin Jianyue looked up in astonishment, unable to believe his ears.

Did he hear it right?

Don't you have to die?
The leader of the gray cavalry led the stunned Qin Jianyue out of the hut. Under the dim candlelight, only Chen Lingchen and Luo Ziqiu were left in the hut, as well as three silent black coffins.

Chen Ling lowered his head, and the darkness concealed his expression.

Luo Ziqiu stared at his obscure half face, and said softly: "The people who came out of Boying are really good at disguising, and they are also quite courageous. If it weren't for the fact that the gray cavalry were all southerners... I'm afraid it would be really hard to find out."

Qin Jianyue's puzzled things were actually simpler than he imagined.

Qin Jianyue is a native of the frontier. He has intermarried with foreigners for generations in the northern frontier. Even wearing a mask, it can be seen that he has deeper eyes and a higher nose bridge than others.

When the gray cavalry was first formed, in order to prevent spies from neighboring countries from mixing in, and considering that the gray cavalry's main activity range is the south, they simply selected all southerners.It is not unusual for Qin Jianyue to look like this in the border, but it is fake in the gray knight.

Luo Ziqiu smiled: "It's a talent that can be used. It's not bad if the Holy Majesty wants to keep it."

Chen Ling remained silent.

Luo Ziqiu was already used to it.

He was silent for a while, then said lightly: "It's just that these three... are a problem."

Originally, the ice they brought from the north was enough to escort the body to a suitable feng shui place for burial, but the climate in Yuting Mountain was warm, and the hot spring hut was like early summer. It's not easy to pass the post station.

It is still necessary to transport it out of the mountain as soon as possible.

You can't just be buried in Yutingshan, right?

Luo Ziqiu lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, when suddenly he heard a strange noise coming from outside, which seemed to be vaguely noisy.

"What's the matter?" Luo Ziqiu asked outside the door.

A gray cavalry member outside the door hesitated for a moment before saying, "Return to the Lord, it seems that something has been found...something has broken into the hot spring."

Luo Ziqiu was taken aback: something?

……

Outside the hot spring hut, Yan Yuan looked at the rabbit named Fubai expressionlessly.

She just brought it to the back mountain, originally she just wanted to have a legitimate reason, so that she could sneak a look at the hot spring in the back mountain and see what secrets Chen Lingchen had.

But who would have thought that when the rabbit saw the hot spring, its eyes would glow, and it twisted its body desperately, breaking free from her embrace.

Then it jumped into the hot spring.

Yes, it jumped in.

It jumped in!
It's a rabbit, it runs like a snow-white fluffy ball, and it jumps down towards the hot spring without hesitation!

thump.

Water splashes everywhere, crisp and crisp.

After a brief pause, it began to thrash and roll in the water, struggling wildly.

Yan Yuan realized later that this thing doesn't seem to be able to swim.

Yan Yuan: ……………
