Chapter 1625 Red Lips

If he doesn't ask me, he doesn't need to say anything.

If he mentioned it, we would not see each other for a long time.

…

Jiang Wang didn't know what Zhu Biqiong had gone through in the past two years, when she was as innocent and pure as a piece of paper.

But from the attitude of the concubine envoy from Diaohai Tower in front of him, we might be able to get a glimpse of something.

The current ranking of second on the Haixun list can probably describe the stories behind them.

The little girl who was once deceived by Hu Shaomeng has become a great figure overseas today. The little girl who was once sheltered from the wind and rain of the world under the protection of her sister is now able to make waves in the offshore islands... Time is so fair to everyone.

The Marquis of Wu'an in the Great Qi Dynasty, the true biography of Diaohailou Jinghai.

What they got was revealed to others. What they lost is deep in their hearts.

"Tell her for me..." Jiang Wang paused and finally said, "Thank you very much."

Envoy Lu respectfully withdrew.

Jiang Wang did not stay longer on Haimen Island and went straight back to Qi State.

Fourteen had no news of going to sea. He could not send a message to Chongxuansheng from a long distance. He was worried that Chongxuansheng would go crazy.

It's just... there is no trace of Bianjun, and he is not overseas. Where on earth could Fourteen be?

…

…

Hairpin with red flowers and long skirt.

Apply rouge and blush your lips.

Fourteen has not dressed like this for a long time.

In other words, she has never dressed up... so she is a bit clumsy.

That day she went to a famous rouge and gouache store in Linzi and bought back a lot of bits and pieces of cosmetics.

Then he sat alone in the room and dressed up silently for a long time.

It's not uncomfortable not to speak. She seldom speaks.

Because her voice was naturally soft and not ferocious enough at all, in order to maintain the intimidation of the armored guards, she tried her best not to say a word.

As time went by, he almost stopped speaking in front of others.

But there was no nagging voice in her ears... and she wasn't used to it either.

Chong Xuan Sheng was a man who was very good at hiding his thoughts. He always smiled when meeting people, and nine out of ten sentences he said were untrue. Over the years, I could only talk non-stop when I was alone with her. Although those people's hearts are treacherous and their interests are entangled, she can't understand them most of the time.

But she was willing to listen.

There is no such thing as a dressing mirror at home. She is a water mirror made of Taoism.

She felt that her Tao skills were quite good, the water mirror was very stable and clear, and the distribution of Tao energy was also very reasonable... Even the drawing of eyebrows and lips was a bit complicated, which made her confused.

The gouache store came with a drawing tutorial, and it took her a long time to understand it.

She's quite stupid.

But she wanted to dress up properly and show it to Brother Sheng. There is no other reason, I just want to show it to Brother Sheng. Look at how she dresses herself up carefully, look at her red lips, and the beautiful new clothes she bought——

It's a pity that she can't show it to Brother Sheng.

Of course she knows her identity.

From a very young age, she was told, repeatedly told...who she was, what her responsibilities were, and what her destiny was.

In fact, she can't remember much about those trainings because her memory is not very good. All she remembered was that she had to protect Brother Sheng...with her thin shoulders and brave heart.

That was... a long, long time ago.

At that time she was about two years old, less than three years old.

That day, she walked into a Buddhist hall with a dozen children.

She saw a good-looking but haggard man. In my memory, my hair was in a hairpin, but I was wearing a monk's robe. Holding a plump baby in her arms, she knelt and sat in front of the Buddha statue.

The man looked at her for a while.

She still remembered that look.

His eyes were obviously so tired, so disgusted, and so painful, but they had such compassionate eyes.

The man said, "That's her."

Her fate was never the same.

She began to receive the best teachings, began to prepare for adapting to the Pulse Opening Pill, and began to have extraordinary possibilities.

Just remember one thing - protect that child.

Protect that child.

From when everyone was very young until now when everyone has grown up.

She probably never had too many ideas, her thoughts were always very simple.

She just clumsily tried to protect the little fat man.

This is an obsession, a mood, and an ideal in life.

But since when did everything change subtly?

Think about it now.

It was probably that day when she came out of Dongjiekou and she came back to life, and he shed tears for the first time. They supported each other and walked on the streets of Linzi. The sunset is gorgeous and the sky is so brilliant.

At that time, she wanted to just keep going.

Or maybe earlier.

In those unknowing moments.

For example, she pulled him up from the ground time and time again. For example, she wore iron armor and held an iron sword, and stood in front of him fiercely. For example, those days when she listened quietly and he talked non-stop...

"You hate me too, don't you?" the little fat man asked once, with red eyes and bulging anger: "You have no choice but to follow me, right?"

That time she mustered up the courage and pinched his fat face: "I think you are so cute."

Thinking of this, Shi Shi smiled.

But after laughing, I felt a little sad.

The sadness didn’t just start today.

It didn’t start from that conversation with the old Marquis.

When she fought against Wang Yiwu, she tried her best but her consciousness was easily shattered. At that time, her last thought was - what should I do with Brother Sheng?

When Zhongxuansheng took off the magical power of Fatian Xiangdi and Zhongxuan magical power, and the heritage of the famous Zhongxuan family became more and more concrete in him. When she found that no matter how hard she tried, she was firmly pulled away.

On the battlefield of the Xia War, Jiang Wang could raise his sword to fight the gods, and she could only hide in the army and contribute her Tao Yuan and blood...

She felt sad.

It turned out that... I could no longer protect him.

The meaning of her life was no longer clear, and her life ideals were gradually out of reach.

What a cruel fact!

Either she was not smart, or she deliberately avoided it. She realized these things, but hid everything in the armor.

Until that day, the old marquis summoned her to the mansion and told her that she was a very important person to Zhongxuansheng... and Zhongxuansheng, who was about to inherit the title of Bowang Hou, should have a better choice and a brighter future.

The old marquis described to her how the world works and what lessons history has left for people.

The old marquis told her what kind of woman the next Marquis of Bowang should be, what kind of family background she should have, and what kind of help she should bring to Chong Xuansheng...

Her armor was unveiled.

It was as if she had returned to her timid childhood, trembling with her knees hugged.

Before she stood up to protect Chong Xuansheng, she was actually very scared.

Now she must see the real world and face the reality of the world.

That armor protected her and Chong Xuansheng, and also hid her timidity.

She waited for Chong Xuansheng with red makeup and left alone before dawn.

The last courage was to say goodbye with a long night.

She had made up her mind to bravely venture into the world and practice hard from now on.

But at this time -

She looked at the unfamiliar scenery around her and felt a little confused.

"I should have gone to sea after walking for so many days..."

This place seemed to have been seen before, but it also seemed not to have been seen before.

Going out to sea is to go east, right? She remembered clearly that she had accompanied Chong Xuansheng to Crescent Moon Island two years ago.

She knew it in her mind.

As long as you keep going east, you will reach Linhai County in a short time. Just find a pier and get on the boat. Going out to sea is very simple.

Wait...

Which direction is east?

Long skirts are not convenient for traveling...

She really wants to hide in the armor.

But we agreed to face this world, didn't we?

Thinking of this, Fourteen mustered up courage again.

But the question is...

Which direction is east?

Fourteen thought hard for a long time, and it seemed that he could determine the direction by the tree rings.

He looked left and right, so he picked up the heavy sword and cut down a tree.

Sure enough, he saw the tree rings!

But the question is...

Which side points to the east? Is it the wide side or the short side?

Forget it, it doesn't matter if I go west. I can go to Jingguo or the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons to practice.

In short, if you keep walking in one direction, you won't get lost.

Thinking this way, Fourteen set off again.

But her steps soon stopped again.

She saw a man standing not far away.

He was a man of medium stature with long hair, with a calm face, majestic without anger, and a faint lightning on his body.

This man was called Lei Zhanqian, and she knew him.

He used to be very fierce, but was beaten several times by Wang Ge'er and was completely subdued.

Sheng Ge'er and Wang Ge'er also went to the Imperial Hospital to bully him.

After the funeral of the Eleventh Prince, he left Linzi and did not come back for a long time. He was not active in the officialdom and disappeared.

I didn't expect to meet him here...

Fourteen clenched the heavy sword and said nothing.

Although the two sides were not enemies, Sheng Ge'er said that you must be on guard against others. She went out alone and had to stay alert.

But Lei Zhanqian just glanced at her lightly, without any emotion in his eyes, and turned and walked into the farther woods.

Fourteen breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was not afraid of this man, she was not sure that she could defeat him... Lei Xi's magical power was still very powerful.

By the way... why did she meet Lei Zhanqian?

Where is the Lei clan's land?

Or is Lei Zhanqian also going out to sea?

Shouldn't I ask for directions just now...

"Ah."

Fourteen sighed slightly. She was so tired after being out. After thinking for a while, she went back to look at the annual rings of the tree stump. She finally had an impression in her mind, so she set out again.

But today was destined to be full of twists and turns, and her journey to the end of the world was repeatedly frustrated.

"Fourteenth Miss!"

She suddenly heard such a crisp shout.

She looked over in a panic and saw a woman leaping quickly in the forest. She was very flexible and soon appeared in front of her.

The woman was wearing a tight suit and a green scarf on her head. She looked very neat.

It was Lin Youxie, the green-branded head of the police who had visited Yaoguangfang many times.

It's bad!

Fourteen turned around and ran away.

She didn't commit any crime or do anything bad. But for some reason, he was very nervous when he met Qingpai.

"Hey, why are you running?" Lin Youxie jumped up and chased him: "Do you know how many people have been looking for you these days? They are all crazy! I have already sent a message to Jiang Wang, and he will be here soon."

Fourteen heard this and flew even more anxiously.

Lin Youxie also felt very strange.

Jiang Wang and Chong Xuansheng used so many connections and almost blocked the border of Qi State, but they couldn't find Fourteen.

It makes people worry whether something has happened to this girl...

Based on her professional experience, she concluded that after Fourteen left Linzi, her first goal must be to go out to sea.

In order to find people as soon as possible and not miss them, she went directly to Linhai County to thoroughly investigate clues and went to various docks to track down traces. Later, there was really nothing to gain, so she returned to Linzi and began to analyze which information was left by Fourteen.

Jixia Academy is a very special place, and traces cannot be captured by ordinary people at all. What kind of divination and astrology are all useless. She only used the power of the Qingpai system to communicate with the national situation, and then she rediscovered the traces of Fourteen in a place ten miles away from Jixia Academy.

At that time, she actually suspected that Fourteen had been killed.

Linzi has always been deep water, calm on the surface, and turbulent under the water. Whether it is against Bowang Marquis Mansion or Chong Xuansheng personally, there are too many reasons.

Those traces turned east and west in the territory of Qi State, and there was no fixed direction, and it was unclear where the intention was.

She also suspected that the murderer was deliberately setting up a trap. While quickly contacting Jiang Wang through the Qingpai channel, she carefully followed.

Unexpectedly, she followed the clues all the way... and actually found Fourteen.

This girl has been walking for four or five days, and she is still wandering around in Lu Shuang County. She has never touched the door of Bian County, let alone leaving the country!

Lin Youxie suspected that Fourteen didn't want to leave at all. Now all this is just a farce of flirting between this girl and Chong Xuansheng, but this girl is clearly running away very seriously...

Look, there is a sudden breath-suppression acceleration in front, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. It also hid its heartbeat and wiped off the traces of blood and qi, hiding very hard!

Because of the cultivation level, Lin Youxie couldn't catch up for a while, but she was not in a hurry. People who have already met can't escape her pursuit again, not to mention that Nian Chen has already fallen.

She walked slowly in the forest and began to think about her own thoughts. She looked in the direction where Lei Zhanqian left with some doubts.

...

Let's say that Fourteen accelerated and flew quickly, panicking. After finally flying out of the forest, he found that he had forgotten the direction again...

That ring of tree rings, who knows where it is.

But she didn't have to worry about it now.

Because in the thunderous explosion, a fat figure was thrown in front of her by the fast-flying Marquis Wu'an of Daqi.

Before the explosion in the air dissipated, Chong Xuansheng had stopped in time. In the sky of Lu Shuang County, he looked at his Fourteen.

Today, they saw each other very differently.

What Chong Xuansheng saw was a timid little girl. She stood stubbornly in the air, her long skirt swaying in the wind. She wore a red flower on her temples and held a heavy sword in her hand. Her delicate and pale face made her lips look even redder.

He found that he had ignored too many of her feelings over the years. He thought he could arrange everything, he thought Fourteen would never leave. He was used to that kind of company, and never asked, what about Fourteen? What kind of life does Fourteen want?

And what Fourteen saw was a Chong Xuansheng that she had never seen before.

He was still wearing brocade clothes, and his figure was still so thick and strong.

But his face was so haggard.

In his bloodshot eyes, there was no longer the calmness of the past.

He only looked at her, still smiling at her.

He smiled foolishly, grinning, hiding his eyes...

She suddenly felt so sad.
