Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 186 Ghost Valley·Ghost Noodle·Osmanthus Brew

Mr. Ghost Valley.

I finally met a person who is close to God in the world. He seems to be the same as I imagined, but he seems to be a little different.

According to the rumors, he is over a hundred years old, but he is capable of fighting tigers; according to the rumors, he is so wise that he is close to a monster, and he is omnipotent; according to the rumors...

All these rumors, at this moment, before my eyes, come alive.

The old man in front of him is said to be over a hundred years old, his beard and hair are as white as snow, but his appearance seems to be only 70 to [-] years old, and there are not many wrinkles. His facial features are clear and clear, especially those piercing eyes, revealing Looking at anyone and everything with a sober and shrewd light, his eyes seem to be far away, as if standing outside the world, examining the commotion in the world of mortals.

He is Guiguzi!
He just stood there, without the slightest arrogance on his face, even very peaceful, but his tall and straight figure, calm breath, also had the extraordinary spirit of not bending over a mountain.

I understand that this is the arrogance of the princes who are angry and fear, and live in peace.

This is Guiguzi!
"Princess Ruyi."

He spoke first, and his voice was clear and full of energy, not at all like the voice of an old man over a hundred years old. I walked up and bowed to him: "I have seen Mr. Guigu."

He smiled faintly, clasped his hands slightly, and with a gust of wind blowing his long sleeves, he also bowed to me.

I hurriedly saluted him back.

In Guigu, it seems that some customs and etiquette from a hundred years ago are still maintained, that is, the etiquette of Murong's reign. I even saw Mr. Guigu wearing the original wide-sleeved gown, which more and more suits his figure. Resolutely, Daogu Xianfeng.

Is it because he is still thinking about something from the past, who is it?
The moment I saw him, my heart was also in turmoil. Over the past year, along the way, there were too many doubts, too many puzzles, and I needed him to answer for me, but when I really stood in front of him, I was alone. I can't even speak the words.

He smiled and said, "You, do you have a lot to ask the old man, including what happened nine years ago?"

"Yes."

"But you can't ask a word now, because you don't know how to ask, right?"

"Correct."

He laughed loudly and said: "This old man is too hasty. I should have let you take a good rest, and when we meet again, you won't be in a hurry. It's just that the old man wants to see the nine years. What does the person who walked out of the ghost valley look like now?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at me, those eyes seemed to penetrate my body, and looked at the woman who had the same appearance and the same puzzled eyes as me many years ago, and she once stood in front of him like this , Asking his preaching and karma to solve doubts.

I thought about it and looked up at him: "Sir, are you disappointed?"

He looked at me, and his eyes slid to my swollen belly again. There was only a light smile in his deep eyes. He made a faint smile and didn't answer me. Instead, he told the man behind him: "Yu He, take me The princess is going to rest."

The man named Yu He came up and bowed, "Yes."

"Princess, let's take a short rest today. Wait until tomorrow, and then talk about it slowly."

"Thank you sir."

Although I don't want to leave his side, I really have a lot of doubts that I want him to answer, but I also know that at this time, I am really in a mess, I don't know where to start, maybe it is good for me to take a break of.

So that Yu He led me to the other side. When I left, I turned my head and saw Mr. Guigu slowly sitting back at the stone table. His piercing eyes seemed to float up at that moment What, far away, I heard him sigh lightly...

I followed Yu He out of the pavilion and walked towards the other side. Until now, I have not seen the appearance of Ghost Valley. It is really too big, and the distance is full of green bamboo houses, built against the mountain. Attached to the steep mountain, it looks dangerous and steep.The small roads here are all winding and winding, but they are cleaned very cleanly, and the windows look bright and clean, which is extraordinarily elegant and beautiful.

Walking in it is like walking in a piece of ink painting.

Along the way, I also met some children and maids. They were all young, but they were handsome and agile, handsome and tall, and they were different from ordinary servants.

I don’t know how long we’ve been walking, and there’s a fine house in front of our eyes, with wide osmanthus trees on both sides. collection of poems.

Yu He took me here, gave me a brief introduction, then took my leave and wanted to leave, I hurriedly stopped him: "Mr. Yu—"

He stopped and looked back at me with a smile on his face: "Princess, my surname is not Yu, Yu He is just my surname."

I froze for a moment.

It turned out that his surname was not Yu. I heard him say that Mr. Guigu was his elder, and I secretly guessed that Mr. Guigu was also named Yu, but I was wrong.

I smiled apologetically: "Mr. Yu He, please don't blame me. I just want to ask, those people I brought—"

"Oh, they." Yu He said with a smile: "The people brought by the princess are all on the outskirts. There is a boy who arranges their food and daily life. I only let one of the women follow in and live in the side room so that it is convenient to take care of the princess. Body."

"Thank you."

"Please rest first. The servants are always on hand. If there is anything wrong, just let me know."

After speaking, he turned and left.

I didn't expect that Yu He, who seemed to be an invincible martial arts master, was so careful in doing things, and arranged Ling Si by my side. As soon as Ling Si heard that I was back, she hurried over here to take care of me. Knowing the scene in Ghost Valley, someone immediately brought a bucket of hot water to help me take a bath and change clothes.

After bathing, I changed into the wide-sleeved moon white gown prepared by Guigu, which made me feel much better.

She helped me go to the bed and sit down, and then said: "Queen Mother, your body is still very weak, my subordinates will prepare some soup for you."

I took a look at her, and felt sorry for her. The shadow guard who usually only cares about wielding knives and swords, stays by my side and takes care of my daily life. I said softly, "Okay."

She nodded and walked out.

I was the only one left in the room, and there was a complete silence beside my ears. I could only hear my own breathing and heartbeat, and every heartbeat was accompanied by a little pain.

Not thinking about it doesn't mean you can forget it. When all the hustle and bustle and noise receded, the faint pain came to my heart again.

I looked down at my protruding belly, stretched out my hand to touch it, and seemed to feel a burst of movement inside. It was the child—reminding me of his existence, begging me to let him continue to live, he wanted to live , want to be born.

Maybe, even with my pulse, he can also feel the pain in my heart and the crazy hatred that surged up at that moment.

The one who hates that man, the one who hates that man.

Almost hated, even this child, wanted to throw it away...

I was trembling, stroking my lower abdomen inch by inch with my fingers - what would happen to me if this child really disappeared?Can all the pain disappear with him, and the humiliation I experienced can be completely turned over like a book, forget it!
Just when my heart was trembling and thinking, suddenly, there was a burst of small footsteps in my ears.

It's so late, who is it?
Although I know that Ghost Valley is the safest place in the world, no one will threaten to get here, but hearing such footsteps at night like this still makes me a little worried, I got up and walked to the window gently, He saw the half-covered window at a glance, and retracted one hand.

"Who?!"

I rushed over at once and pushed open the concealed window!
There was only a very weak candlelight in the room, and under the dim candlelight, I saw a silver mask, under the mask was a pair of wide-open eyes, looking at me with a hint of astonishment.

For a while, he and I were stunned.

Those eyes seemed very complicated, but at this moment, I saw many things in those eyes, hesitation, helplessness, fear, so many emotions in those eyes, it seemed that even the cold mask was alive up!
he--

At this moment, Ling Si had already heard my voice and rushed back from the outside.

"Queen Mother!"

As soon as she saw this man in black and wearing a mask, she immediately showed a fierce look in her eyes. She pulled out the chain sword and swung it towards this side fiercely. A deep crack was drawn out of the wall and the ground!

In the blink of an eye, the two of them turned over and rushed to the yard.

At this moment, Ling Si was not soft at all, the chain sword in his hand swung like a wheel with the sound of tigers and tigers, and brushed against the man's body several times, rags were flying all over the sky, his moves were dangerous and deadly, but the black shadow just blindly Dodge, and did not fight back.

who is he?
Just when the two people were killing each other inextricably, my gaze fell to the window, I was startled, and hurriedly said: "Ling Si, stop!"

Seeing the chain sword trembling straight in Ling Si's hand, stabbing straight at the man's brow, like a thunderbolt, I couldn't take it back again. The sword came out a little faster, and there was only a sound, and the chain sword suddenly softened. He held the tip of the sword with one hand, wrapped it around twice, and took half of the chain sword into his palm!
The two of them confronted each other in the courtyard like this!

Ling Si looked at the other party viciously, and then looked at me again, as if he didn't know why I suddenly told her to stop: "The Queen Mother..."

"Ling Si, he is not an assassin."

Ling Si was stunned for a moment, looked at me, and then looked at the window sill that was almost broken by her, where there was a delicate porcelain bowl.

In the bowl is the milky white juice, which becomes whiter and jade-like in the night, clear and mellow, and exudes a faint heat. In the night sky, there is already a warm sweet smell, and the tip of the nose can smell the faint sweet-scented osmanthus. fragrant.

This is - sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed.

My favorite, osmanthus stuffed.

I slowly raised my head to look at the man in black. He was silent, and his eyes no longer looked at me. Take a step back.

At this time, the people around had already heard the movement, and the first one to walk in was Yu He.

When he saw the man in black at first glance, he seemed to be a little surprised. He slowly walked in front of him, looked at Ling Si again, then turned to me and said, "Princess, is there some misunderstanding?"

I stood by the window, looking at the dark figure, almost engulfed by the night, with his head down, almost invisible to the mask.

"Who is this--"

"He? He's from Guigu, a disciple of His Holiness."

I was slightly startled.

From the first glance, I thought that Yu He was Mr. Guigu's disciple, but now listening to his tone, he seems to appear here only as a junior. The real Mr. Guigu's disciple is this black mask people.

I thought for a while and said: "Probably a misunderstanding. This brother put a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus in front of the window of the palace. Ling Si thought that he did it because of the assassin's intentions. I hope Mr. Yu He will not be offended. I also hope that this—”

I looked at him, but he was even more silent, and his head was buried even lower, the whole person was almost hidden behind Yu He.

Yu He smiled: "The princess can call him ghost face."

Ghost face?

I frowned slightly, and looked at the part of his forehead that was not covered by the mask. Under the moonlight, I could see some weird scars. Even the parts where the eyes of the mask were exposed, I could see some scars—this man, his face There seemed to be serious injuries on his body, and even his hand, the hand he had just put down after putting down the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, just for a moment, I saw several scars.

It seemed that he was injured by some sharp weapon.

Ghost face, such a name, does it coincide with his identity and his physical condition?

I thought for a while and said, "I hope Mr. Ghost Face won't be offended."

"..."

He silently shook his head.

"Since it's just a misunderstanding, don't worry about it, we won't disturb the princess to rest."

After Yu He finished speaking, he left with that ghost face, and just as he was about to leave, he seemed to have remembered something, looked back at the bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus brew in front of me, and said with a smile: "Princess should really taste this sweet-scented osmanthus brew. The sweet-scented osmanthus in Ghost Valley was born for the princess, after all these years, the princess finally came back."

I was stunned for a moment, and saw the back of that ghost face, it seemed to tremble a bit, and before Yu He could turn his head, he had already walked away quickly.

Seeing that they had left, Ling Si hurried back to the window and looked at me nervously: "Queen Mother, you, are you all right?"

I didn't answer her, but trembling and slowly picked up the small bowl, the sweet-scented osmanthus brew in it was still steaming, a sweet and intoxicating fragrance of osmanthus rushed towards me, I took a sip lightly, only feeling a The sweet juice blooms from the tip of the tongue, and the cheeks are full of fragrance. The fragrance gradually permeates, and it seems that even the whole person is a little lighter.

What a beautiful sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing!

Was it made by that ghost face?
I remembered what Yu He said to me just now - "The sweet-scented osmanthus in Ghost Valley was born for the princess. After waiting for all these years, the princess finally came back." What does this mean?How could the sweet-scented osmanthus in Ghost Valley be born for me?

Looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus forest shrouded in drizzle in front of me, my heart also fell into a cloud of fog.

Perhaps there are many mysteries that Ghost Valley needs me to solve...

The environment of Ghost Valley is very quiet. At night, I can hear the chirping of insects in the distance, and a drop of rain from the eaves from time to time. Although I have more and more doubts in my heart, I can sleep so peacefully for the first time.

Even in a dream, you can smell the faint fragrance of osmanthus.

When I opened my eyes early the next morning, the sun had already shone on the desk by the window, the rain had stopped, and the air was full of fresh smells, as well as the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Another bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing was placed on the windowsill.

Ling Si heard the noise and came in, looked at me leaning against the window, looking at the bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus rice in a daze, then came over, helped me to dress and wash, and said: "Early this morning, my subordinates also saw it."

"Yes, that ghost face sent it?"

"I didn't see anyone, but my subordinates guessed that it should be him."

After I finished rinsing, I loosely tied my long hair in a bun on the back of my head, walked slowly to the window, picked it up and took a sip, the lukewarm heat still tasted sweet.

ghost face...

Thinking about the mask and those eyes last night, I have an indescribable feeling in my heart. The ghost face, this person, does not seem to be simple.

As I was thinking in my heart, Ling Si was already beside me and said: "Queen Mother, someone just came to tell my subordinates that if the Queen Mother wakes up, Mr. Guigu invites you to meet at the place where we met yesterday."

I nodded, "OK."

Ling Si also knew the rules of Ghost Valley. When I went out, she told me to be careful, and told me a few words, but she didn't follow me. I walked slowly towards the lake along the road Yu He took me yesterday. go.

In the morning, there is always a scene full of vitality, especially in the mountains and fields. After the rain, the green leaves are washed by the rain, and they are as clean as pieces of emerald jade. In addition to the sweetness of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air, there is also the unique clear breath after the rain, which makes people feel refreshed.

What a beautiful view.

The last time I saw this beautiful scenery in a place far away from the hustle and bustle, I still remember that it was in Tanglin Mountain.

I will never forget that morning, Chu Feng stood in front of me, he smiled and said to me that he wanted to abdicate, he said he would not let me wait anymore, every word of his, I deeply engraved in my mind——

"When will you stop fighting for fame and fortune? Getting up early and going to bed late is not free. Riding a donkey and mule thinks about a horse, and the official residence looks at the prince. You only worry about food and clothing and work, so why are you afraid that Yan Jun will take you? Ken back."

Subconsciously read out the poems in his mouth at the beginning, at this moment, a burst of footsteps came from behind.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a tall and straight figure under the sun, with snow-white hair glowing with frost in the sun. I hurriedly turned around to salute him, but saw Mr. Guigu slowly coming forward and standing side by side with me , Looking at the distant mountains shrouded in mist in front of him, he murmured: "The step-sons want to be rich, and none of them is willing to look back."

Just as I was about to say something, I heard Mr. Guigu slowly say: "You, how do you know this poem?"

"Yes--"

"Oh, the old man remembered." He smiled lightly: "When you left Ghost Valley, you also copied many classics here. The Qinglong prince copied this poem."

I was taken aback, it turned out that this poem came from Guigu, Prince Qinglong brought it back to Qinglong Kingdom, and it was known by Chu Feng.

"However," he smiled, "do you know who wrote this poem?"

"Isn't it sir?"

He shook his head: "The old man can't write it, even if the old man lives to be a hundred years old, he won't be able to get back to this point."

I was a little taken aback. Who else in the world can see the world more clearly than him? This turbulent man who has gone through the changes of dynasties and the smoke of the Warring States, even said that he is so stupid, so—"Write this poem Yes, who is it?"

"Mrs. Murong."

Mrs. Murong?

There was a slight movement in my heart—the ancestor of Nangong?
## Such a wicked child, it would be fine if there is no
Thinking of the words He Liancheng once mentioned, I tentatively said: "Sir, have you ever met Mrs. Murong?"

no answer.

But when I turned my head to look at him, I found that Mr. Guigu's calm lake-like eyes rippled a little, and even the indifferent expression on his face became vivid at this moment.

After a while, he said softly: "Yes, the old man has seen Mrs. Murong."

"Sir and Mrs. Murong, have you ever had a discussion?"

"Do not."

He shook his head lightly, a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Old man, hijacked her."

what?
I was stunned for a moment, seeing Mr. Guigu's expression and tone, he respected Mrs. Murong very much. I thought he had really been enlightened by Mrs. Murong. How did it turn out that he had kidnapped Mrs. Murong? !
Such an accident is too unexpected.

"Why, why?"

Seeing my stunned expression, Mr. Guigu also smiled slightly, his steady and introverted eyes seemed to be young at this moment, with a bit of memory fun, he said with a smile: "Back then, the old man was also young and energetic, and many I can't see through things, and I don't want to see through, I always think that what is right in this world is right, and what is wrong is wrong. When she stands in the opposite position to the old man, she should naturally get rid of it."

Stand against him?I'm a little surprised, hasn't Mr. Guigu always admired Murong's rule?And Mrs. Murong is a rare female hero in the Murong clan, why do you say that?
When I asked the doubts in my heart, Mr. Guigu smiled faintly.

"People in the world only know that Mrs. Murong is the heroine of the Murong clan, but they don't know that Mrs. Murong married another husband for the third time. She was also the concubine of the Southern Emperor Zhen's family, and single-handedly eliminated the four major families at that time. One of the Xie family, this old man is a disciple of the Xie family."

My eyes widened in surprise.

Mrs. Murong, it turned out that she got rid of one of the four major families in the Central Plains, the Xie family. Everyone knows that the four major families back then were powerful and wealthy, and each occupied the top of the mountain and fought on their own. , It is several times stronger than the current three major families!She was able to get rid of the Xie family!

However, this is not what surprised me the most. What really surprised me was that she had married Yifu for the third time!

Could it be that this strange woman who ruled the world a hundred years ago also experienced a life in which true and false are difficult to distinguish, and love and hate are unpredictable. With all his infatuation, causing chaos in the Central Plains, but also following his husband to stay away from the hustle and bustle?

Maybe, she really found it.

But what about me?

After being silent for a long time, I regained my thoughts and looked at Mr. Guigu's almost reverent eyes. I didn't know that I had passed through the scenery in front of me, traveled through time and space, and looked at the scene that he has engraved so far many years ago. On the woman, said softly: "Sir, do you admire Mrs. Murong?"

This time, Mr. Guigu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "Madam's demeanor, which has not been seen in a hundred years, is still unforgettable even today."

I looked at the centenarian in front of me, his eyes were full of cherishing the memories of the past, and there was also tenderness like water, one could vaguely feel that he cherished that strange woman no more than any man.

Perhaps, only a woman like Mrs. Murong can turn a man like Mr. Guigu upside down for life.

We stood silently by the lake, and after a while, I felt some numbness in my feet. Mr. Guigu looked at my frowning and said, "It's the old man who is careless. The princess is pregnant now. You shouldn't have stood there for so long."

After speaking, he led me slowly towards the small pavilion in the middle of the lake on the other side.

I looked at the tall figure in front of me. He really didn't look like an old man over a hundred years old. His straight figure was like the silver gun in Yu He's hand. He seemed to be the last unruly soul in the world. The silver light is shining in the sun, telling bits and pieces of the past.

I have many doubts in my heart, and I still want to ask at this time.

"Sir, why did you send Mr. Yu He here when you knew that Ben Gong would come to Qishan?"

"Isn't it inevitable for the princess to go west?"

"But, sir, if you know it, you know it, so why did you make a move?"

He smiled faintly, and said: "It seems that the princess has already guessed something, so why bother to ask around? Yes, the old man sent Yu He to act because he was entrusted by others."

"Who?" As soon as I asked this question, I immediately said, "Is it Ling Shaoyang?"

His steps faltered slightly.

Immediately, he continued to walk forward without looking back, and said, "How did the princess know?"

"Yesterday, Mr. Yu He appeared in the valley and drove back the Xuanwu army with his own strength. At that time, I heard Luo Muna speak, and I seemed to have met Mr. Yu He; and Luo Muna lives in the grassland. If you want to meet, Naturally, Mr. Yu He left for Shangyang City; and there are not many people in this world who can make Mr. Yu He take action."

I heard his faint laughter: "Princess——you really have a quick mind."

I bit my lower lip, and was about to ask why they let Ling Shaoyang live in Fengxiang City, and what happened to Liang Chengxin, but before I could say anything, I heard Mr. Guigu say: "Princess, the old man also has a question to ask." Ask the princess."

"Excuse me, sir."

He looked back at me: "Princess is pregnant with Liujia. It is really not suitable to go on a long journey in such a situation, especially your goal is the alliance camp. Hasn't the princess ever worried about her child?"

child? ...

A sneer appeared in my heart.

This child, who else will care about him?
Even his father resolutely broke off his marriage with his mother. Knowing that I was pregnant with Liujia and suffered all kinds of humiliation, he made a decision with me. He already had Liang Chengxin by his side, and he still stabbed me with such words. At this point, what is the point of this child being born?
Let him face the filth and filth of this world?Facing the hatred between his father and mother?Facing his unspeakable life experience?
I am Ling Chufeng's wife, the Empress Dowager Yongjia, but I gave birth to Ling Shaoyang's flesh and blood, such a joke, I really want him to be born.

The unfeeling words of that person were repeated in my mind, I just felt a bad breath welling up in my heart, and said coldly, "There is nothing to worry about."

Mr. Guigu was slightly taken aback and looked at me.

I gritted my teeth and said in a trembling voice: "If there is no such evil child, it will be fine..."

Ling Shaoyang, if I have never seen you in my life, without you, it would be fine...

As soon as the voice fell, my footsteps suddenly stopped.

We had already reached the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be another person's breath in the pavilion. When we looked up, we saw a dark figure standing in the pavilion through Mr. Guigu's shoulder.

A pair of sad eyes, hidden under a silver mask.

## Familiar memories VS Ghost Valley visitors
The moment I saw him, I was a little dazed, and Mr. Guigu also seemed to be dazed for a moment: "Ghost face——"

The three of us were stunned for a while, and that Ghost Face immediately lowered his head. I saw that his broad shoulders seemed to be trembling a little, and he said "Ghost Face, leave" before hurriedly walking past us.

I'm not surprised he's here, what really surprised me was his voice.

Never heard such a sound.

It was as if a blade had been scraped across a rock, dry, hoarse, and low, with a slight tremor, as if—as if it had been damaged by smoke.

I froze for a moment, watching him pass me by, but just as he was about to leave the kiosk, Mr. Guigu suddenly spoke.

"Ghostface."

"..."

"You, you have to think about it."

"..."

The ghost face stopped there, as if struggling for something, and after a while, he said again in a low voice: "Tu'er has figured it out."

I stood there, and for a moment some monk Zhang Er looked at them in confusion. The two people spoke as if there was a layer of smoke between them. They clearly understood every word, but they couldn't understand what it was when they were connected together. mean.

After the ghost face finished speaking, he raised his head and wanted to walk forward.

But as soon as he took a step, a boy came in front of him and bowed to Mr. Guigu: "Sir."

"What's the matter?"

"Outside the valley, there is a visitor asking to see you."

I was slightly taken aback, and the ghost face suddenly stopped in its tracks.

Ghost Valley, there are guests here?

Although I know that there are too many people in the world who want to enter Ghost Valley to see Mr. Ghost Valley. Throughout the dynasties, this place has been the dream of military strategists and princes, but there are not many people in the world who really dare to make this move come true.

What surprised me even more was that Mr. Guigu was not surprised at all, and there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes.

"It came so fast."

Could it be that the arrival of these people was what he expected?

Just when I was puzzled, Mr. Guigu turned his head and said to me: "Princess, I will excuse you first." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Ghost-Mian again: "Ghost-Mian, you are here to accompany the princess. "
