"Lian Lizhi? What a strange name. Why are they called Lian Lizhi? "Ningxue asked, and Mengzhi couldn't help but quietly pricking up her ears.
Ye Wuchen thought for a while, lowered his head and said softly, "In heaven, we wish to be lovebirds, on earth, we wish to be Lian Lizhi. Can Cher understand this sentence?"
Ningxue blinked her eyes and shook her head blankly, "Why do they want to be Lian Lizhi?"
Ye Wuchen turned around and pointed to the twin trees, saying, "Look, Cher, don't these two trees look like two people leaning against each other? Their bodies grow together, even their roots are entangled, and their branches and leaves are intertwined with each other. When they are alive, whether it is spring, autumn or winter, wind and sun, wind and rain, they are always close to each other. Even if they fall, they will fall together. If they die in a disaster, they will die together. On earth, we wish to be Lian Lizhi. It means that two people are infatuated with each other and depend on each other in life and death. Whether they live or die, they will always be together. "
As the voice fell in her ears, Ningxue opened her small mouth and looked at the twin trees for a long time, as if she wanted to deeply engrave the image of them leaning on each other in her mind. When she turned her eyes, Ye Wuchen saw the determination and infatuation in her eyes that did not match her age.
"Then … What about lovebirds? Are they also like this? "She asked softly with her hazy eyes.
"Lovebirds are also two birds, one female and one male. Each of them has only one wing. The male has only the left wing, and the female has only the right wing. If they want to soar, they must hold each other and flap their wings together. In the process of flying, no matter which one of them is in danger, the other will also fall and die. This is the same as Lian Lizhi. It means that two lovers will stay together for life and death. "
"In the sky, we wish to be lovebirds; on the ground, we wish to be intertwined branches …" Ningxue softly murmured these two sentences. She huddled tightly in Ye Wuchen's arms and smiled softly.
Meng Zhi stared blankly at the twin trees for a long time. Her mind was filled with every word that Ye Wuchen had said. Her originally somewhat chaotic heart began to tremble slightly. No matter which era, which time and space, a woman's sensibility far surpassed that of a man's. Ye Wuchen's words left a beautiful mark that could never be erased in the heart of this girl, who was completely blank in terms of love but yearned for a legendary love just like any other ordinary girl.
…
It was the fifteenth day since Ye Wuchen left Celestial Dragon City.
"Princess …"
"Has he come back?" Just like every other day, Long Huang 'er couldn't wait for her to greet him and asked anxiously.
"Ye Gongzi hasn't returned yet," the palace maid replied. She no longer said "Ye Gongzi will be back in at least a month", which was obviously unnecessary. At the same time, she secretly felt sorry for this thirteen-year-old princess. It seemed that this little princess, who was only thirteen years old, had really fallen for him. She couldn't help but admire her future husband's methods. She didn't know what method he had used to make this originally blank girl become so attached to him.
"Oh," Long Huang 'er responded in a low voice and walked back dejectedly.
At this time, two unfamiliar faces appeared in Celestial Dragon City.
One of them looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He was tall and had a handsome face. He wore a white robe and held a jade fan in his hand. His eyes constantly scanned the streets. It was obvious that this was his first time in Celestial Dragon City. There was an innate arrogance on his face. When people looked at him, they would feel that they were being looked down on by him. This feeling was not an illusion or an illusion. It was the aura of a king cultivated by someone who had been in a high position for a long time. It was invisible and oppressive to the hearts of others.
Beside him, a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty years old followed him step by step. He was always half a step away from him. He wore a green robe and looked ordinary. His eyes were half-closed and his face was extremely stiff. He was surrounded by a silent and lifeless aura, which was difficult to attract anyone's attention. He carried a big sword on his back. No, judging from the shape of the scabbard, it should be a long broadsword with a wide blade.
The two of them didn't say anything along the way. They walked in the direction of the palace. At the gate of the palace, they were stopped by the guards.
"Who are you? This is an important place in the palace. Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter. "Seeing that he was wearing luxurious clothes and looked very arrogant, the guard's tone was relatively soft.
The man didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "Little brother, please go and tell the emperor that Feng Ling from Dafeng Nation wants to see him."
"What? You are from Dafeng Nation? "Hearing the words" Dafeng Nation ", the guard was shocked at first. Then his eyes became cold. Their hatred towards Dafeng Nation was deeply rooted in the short term. No one knew how many years it would take for it to slowly fade away. How could he not react when he suddenly heard this? But immediately, he was shocked again and said hurriedly, "Wait, I will go and inform the emperor immediately."
Because he suddenly remembered that the Crown Prince of Dafeng Nation was going to visit Tenryū Province. The news had already spread in the palace, and the name of the Crown Prince of Dafeng Nation was … Feng Ling!
"What, Feng Ling?"
Long Yin, who was in the imperial study, was shocked. "According to the information, he should arrive at least three days later. Hmph, how many people did he bring? "
"He only brought a middle-aged man with a sword on his back," the guard replied.
"One person? How dare he. No one has ever dared to pretend to be the Crown Prince of Dafeng Nation. This person should be the real one. Quickly bring him to the Flying Dragon Hall and wait. I will go there in a moment. "Long Yin frowned and said.
"Yes!" The guard responded and left.
"Elder Li, just in case, go and find out if he is the real one. Someone, pass down the order … "
Feng Ling did not mind that Long Yin did not greet him in person. The two guards led the way into the palace. When they were about to step into the Celestial Dragon Gate, the two guards stopped and said respectfully to the middle-aged man behind Feng Ling, "Sir, apart from the palace guards, anyone who enters the Celestial Dragon Gate is not allowed to carry a weapon. Please put down your weapon."
The middle-aged man's eyes were still half-closed. His entire body, including his eyelids, did not move at all. Feng Ling stepped forward and said, "My two brothers, my senior will always carry a weapon with him wherever he goes, even when he is sleeping. I, Feng Ling, swear on the honor of the Great Wind Nation's royal family that unless absolutely necessary, he will never use a weapon in the palace. I hope you two can make an exception."
The two guards were flattered that the Crown Prince of Dafeng Nation was being so polite to the two guards, even though they hated Dafeng Nation. However, they could not be careless because of the rules of the palace. They could only lower their heads and say, "Please forgive us, Crown Prince Feng. This is the rule of the Celestial Dragon Palace. Anyone who violates it will be punished with the crime of rebellion. Please don't make things difficult for us."
"Then there's nothing I can do." Feng Ling shook his head regretfully and walked straight in.
The half-closed eyes of the middle-aged man who had been silent all this while suddenly opened, revealing a pair of eyes that were suffused with a faint green light. When they met his gaze, the two guards felt as if they had been struck by lightning. A heavy pressure that was as heavy as Mount Tai assaulted them from all directions, pressing down on every part of their bodies, causing them to feel as if they were sealed in ice from head to toe, unable to move … Before they had the time to be shocked, even their consciousness gradually became blurry, until the world in front of them became a sheet of white …
When they woke up, they were drenched in cold sweat. Their bodies were sore and weak, and they were completely exhausted. Their breathing was still uneven. As for Feng Ling and the middle-aged man, they were nowhere to be seen. The two looked at each other and felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had just had a terrible nightmare.
The Flying Dragon Hall was used by the Tenryū clan to entertain distinguished guests. It was usually empty and unguarded. Without anyone leading the way, the two stepped into the hall one after another. Feng Ling looked around, then turned around and said, "This should be the place where the Heavenly Dragon Palace receives guests. Mister, please take a seat."
Even with his noble status as the Crown Prince of Dafeng Nation, he still had to be respectful when facing this middle-aged man. The middle-aged man shook his head imperceptibly and continued to stand there in silence. There was no movement in his eyes, not even a trace of his breathing. If he was not standing but lying there, anyone would think that he was a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
Feng Ling knew his temperament, so he gave up and sat down casually. The Flying Dragon Hall was empty most of the time. There was no tea in the pot, but it was clean and new everywhere. Someone should have cleaned it every day. Feng Ling raised his head and took a deep breath of the air. He said comfortably, "This is my first time in Tenryū Province. It's really different from Dafeng Nation. Even the smell of the air is so comfortable. Even though my Dafeng Nation is big, it's surrounded by sand on both sides and is barren of resources. The further west we go, the more miserable the people's lives are. The air is always filled with the smell of sand. The Navy Tide Nation is cold and has a shortage of resources. Except for those who have lived there for a long time, very few people can adapt to the climate there. The extreme north is a forbidden area. Sunflower Dew Nation is full of fierce beasts. The number of fierce beasts there is even more than my Dafeng Nation, Heavenly Dragon Nation, and Navy Tide Nation combined. There are endless natural disasters and beast calamities. In comparison, only Tenryū Province can be said to be a peaceful nation with abundant food and clothing. It's a paradise on earth. "
"I finally understand why Imperial Father, after his failure that year, kept nagging about taking Tenryū Province into his hands for twenty years. My Dafeng Nation has several times the land of Tenryū Province, several times the military strength of Tenryū Province, and several times the ambition of Tenryū Province. Why should Tenryū Province always enjoy everything that my Dafeng Nation can't! Even if it wasn't for these things, my Feng Clan would sooner or later unify the world. What Imperial Father said is right. A true Emperor must truly stand above everyone else. There is no one in the world who can be on equal footing with him. Merely being the Emperor of a tiny Dafeng Nation … is not enough! With one turn of the hand, he can summon clouds and rain. With one word, he can lay corpses ten thousand li away. He can also forgive ten thousand lives. Only an Emperor is a true Emperor. "
At first, Feng Ling's voice was very low, but later on, it began to resound. With the middle-aged man's help, he only needed two days to secretly arrive at Tenryū Province. He then walked around Tenryū Province for two days. During these two days, he observed everything in Tenryū Province. The ambition in his heart that was originally not too strong burned vigorously like his father's.
Dafeng Nation was covered with deserts. The land was relatively barren. Once the wind was slightly stronger, sand would fill the sky, and pedestrians would disappear. In comparison, how could Dafeng Nation, which had absolute confidence in defeating Tenryū Province, not be tempted?
